Sometimes short and sweet is the way to go. Take this short (and we mean 5 seconds short) animation from Portuguese motion graphics animator and illustrator António Silva, "Vampire Bash," a story about the rise and fall of a paper vampire.

Halftone Print Series from Joshua M. SmithIllustration // Wednesday, April 11, 2012
'Complexity and a fluid organic approach is what is highly valued in each and every piece. A Illustration to me is something that tells a story with out words needed. It builds a bond with the viewer who will either get it, or find it horrible, yet, the interaction is what is desired when doing a piece. Some Illustrations are trend based iconic structures meant to embrace the masses to encourage sales, while others are explorations turned to symbolic ideas on paper or fabric. Illustration is something I find deep meaning in.' Joshua M. Smith
Sex, Humor and Porous WalkerErotica // Wednesday, April 11, 2012
Jimmy DiMarcellis (aka Porous Walker) is a Napa, CA based artist who specializes in the absurd and often times the sexually bizarre. Jimmy's hilarious drawings, creative sculptures and installations remind us that humor is the highest art- and next to sex, the most widely received and appreciated form of expression. The abstract and non-sensical illustrations of Walker are like comic-strips for the sexually mature (or immature) comic art enthusiast in all of us.

Super-Sturdy Tomato Cages Support Heavy Yields

Longtime customer favorites, our heavy-duty, powder-coated steel tomato cages are taller, wider and stronger than old-fashioned cone-shaped supports. And unlike flimsier versions, these are strong enough to support full-grown vines loaded with tomatoes. The tomato cages support plants on all sides (no tying needed) and keep plants up off the ground for better air circulation, cleaner fruit and fewer diseases. Large openings make harvesting easy, and the cages fold flat for off-season storage. In windy locations, we recommend anchoring with our Extra-Tall Earth Staples, sold separately.

Best Uses

Perfect size for my tomato plants. They do come apart at the corners if you try to reposition them too much. I'm waiting to see how well they fold up for storage after the growing season is over.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Attractive
- Easy to assembly
- Easy to store
- Holds Plants Upright
- Strongly Put Together
Best Uses

The tomato cages work wonderful holding up the tomato plants and are easy to reach the tomatoes to pick. Easy to store after planting season.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
These tomato cages are sturdy, fold reasonably flat for storage and can be applied for other uses in the garden.
Also ordered the stack-able cage of same quality.
Great products.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
These are far superior to the cheap round ones. Good value too.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Durable
- Long Lasting
- Strong
- Well built
- Getting Snagged
Best Uses
- Limitless
I use these for cucumers, peppers, and tomatoes. That applies to both in ground planting and containers. I usually stack two together for most plants.
If used for containers, I stack them with the spikes together to have two smooth ends. If in ground, I stack pike end to smooth end to leave spikes available to insert in ground.
Product is strong, well built, and exteremly durable. I have cages as old as ten years still in service.
The only draw back I have found is getting snagged by wire tip sticking through hinge area.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Folds for storage
- none
Best Uses
- Beef Steak Tomatoes
as of this date these are holding up my tomatoes nicely. they are a little slight in construction.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Well designed and sturdy
Best Uses
After numerous trips to lawn and garden centers where I balked at the prices for "standard" tomato cages which in my experience do not hold up a tomato plant once the tomatoes get big, I bit the bullet and decided to make an investment in sturdy long lasting plant supports. The cost is sobering but once they arrived I decided I had made a good choice in these as they are VERY sturdy, fit next to each other in a row in the garden without gaps, and my neighbors, also with back yard gardens, all wanted to know where I got them. They look good, fold up flat for storage but most importantly, are actually doing the job. I do not yet have heavy fruit but when I do these are not going to collapse under the weight. Very pleased! And by next year I will have forgotten the price :)
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Strength Of Metal
Best Uses
- Tomatos Peppers Chiles
Growing lots of tomatoes to can, you have go to have a plan. My plan is to keep weeds down, make sure the plants get water and keep tomatoes from getting eaten by predators.
These tomato stakes are strong and look great
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Durable
- Long Lasting
- Stable
- Will Snag You
Best Uses
- Cucumbers
- Peppers
- Tomatoes
I have used these cages for at least five years and they are still in service, which prompted me to buy more.
I use them for cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes. they do an excellent job of providing support for both in ground plants and for containerized plants.
I generally stack two to make a single tall cage. If the cage is for in ground plants, I stack them so the stakes are exposed. For containerized plants I stach them so both ends are smooth.
I use a five foot metal fence post available at most hardware stores to hold the cages upright and secure against the load they bear.
They are very durable and the oly drawback I have observed is that care must be exercized to avoid the ends sticking through the hinge areas when reaching inside the cage.

- No

And it worked for slayer.( I could not get the rx to bind before I tried this ). Even swapping rx out with diff one). Buyout my problem is I I have Ross starter on all my models.

Israel seeks to negotiate planned EU curbs over '67 borders
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel appealed to the European Union on Friday to rethink plans to withhold funds from Israeli organizations in the occupied territories, a shift in tone from earlier recrimination and retaliation.
Under guidelines adopted by the executive European Commission in June, Israeli "entities" operating in the West Bank and East Jerusalem will not be eligible for EU grants, prizes or loans from next year.

Israel gives preliminary approval for 800 settler homes
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel has given preliminary approval for the construction of more than 800 new homes in Jewish settlements on occupied West Bank land where Palestinians seek statehood, an Israeli official said on Thursday.
The move could complicate U.S.-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, which resumed last month after an almost three-year freeze over the settlement dispute and whose second round is expected to take place next week.
Israel, Palestinians dispute format of Washington peace talks
JERUSALEM/RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) – Israeli and Palestinian officials put forward clashing formats for peace talks due to resume in Washington on Monday for the first time in nearly three years after intense U.S. mediation.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is due to bring the negotiators together in the evening and on Tuesday to renew talks that broke down in 2010 over Israel's settlement of occupied land where Palestinians seek a state.
Israel moves to protect Eilat-bound planes from Sinai jihadis
EILAT, Israel (Reuters) – An airliner full of carefree vacationers dips out of a cloudless sky on a final descent to Eilat and the desert around Israel's toehold on the Red Sea sizzles with unseen military activity.
The scene repeats every half hour or so, servicing the busy Israeli hotels squeezed into the 11-km (7-mile) sliver of coast between Jordan and Egypt. But with the threat of anti-aircraft missile attacks from Egypt-based militants increasing, security precautions are being stepped up to unprecedented levels.
Tensions simmer in Israel coalition over possible Palestine talks
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's tentative agreement to revive U.S.-sponsored peace talks with the Palestinians met skepticism and scorn on Sunday from some members of his rightist coalition government, including within his own party.
With no date yet set for negotiations to begin, let alone a public blueprint for their terms, Netanyahu did not yet appear at risk of a political crisis. Rare praise for him from the center-left opposition suggested they were willing to replace any nationalist allies he might lose over a future peace accord.
Israel indicts Palestinian seized after vanishing in Egypt
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – A Palestinian secretly held by Israel after he vanished during a visit to Egypt last month was indicted on terrorism charges on Friday, though Israeli authorities kept a lid on how and where he was detained.
Any indication that Wael Abu Rida was seized on Egyptian soil, whether by Israeli undercover agents or in cooperation with Cairo, could fan popular hostility toward the Jewish state in the politically chaotic Arab power.
Israel jails Arab citizen who briefly joined Syria's rebels
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel sentenced an Arab citizen to 30 months' imprisonment on Monday for endangering national security by briefly joining Syrian rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad.
Hikmat Massarwa's case was unprecedented, and the relatively light penalty handed down to him as part of a plea bargain reflected Israel's indecision about who – if anyone – to back in its northern neighbor's civil war.
Israel launches crackdown on pro-settler "Price Tag" vandals in West Bank
Israel announced a crackdown on Monday against Jewish ultranationalists who vandalize Palestinian property, saying they were tantamount to terrorists and their attacks could fan sectarian violence.
Israel launches crackdown on pro-settler vandal 'terrorists'
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel announced a crackdown on Monday against Jewish ultranationalists who vandalize Palestinian property, saying they were tantamount to terrorists and their attacks could fan sectarian violence.
The move followed the arrest of a 22-year Israeli from an Orthodox Jewish town near Tel Aviv for the vandalism of a Christian monastery in the occupied West Bank last year. The attack was carried out in solidarity with hardline Jewish settlers.

text: We are thinking about taking a train from Calais to Amiens and spend a couple of nights before heading to Paris. This will be our first time taking the Ferry across the Channel and heading south. Since it appears it will take us almost an entire day from London by train to Dover by Ferry to Calais and then train to Amiens, will a two night stay be long enough to explore Amiens? I thought we would stay in the hotel center by the cathedral...does anyone have an opinion? Thanks, Jan

Norwalk had three local connections to the recent visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the United States — music written by a St. Paul graduate was used in both New York City Masses and a former associate pastor at St. Paul was a con-celebrate of the service at St. Patrick Cathedral.
For the Mass at Yankee Stadium, another SPH grad now a priest was chosen to be a Eucharistic minister.
Mike Hay, a 1971 graduate of St. Paul High School, was active in music ministry his entire life. He died in 1999, but his faith lives on in the many liturgical pieces he wrote over the years.
Grace Hay Whitehurst, his sister, said she was surprised when she found out Hay's composition called Trilingual Intercessions was used at services at St. Patrick Cathedral and Yankee Stadium. She said he wrote it in 1994 to be sung in English, Latin and Spanish.
"He's still remembered," Whitehurst said. "We always knew he was very talented and in the Chicago area he was well-known, but to think that nine years later his music was chosen for the official Papal visit is pretty amazing."
In 1973, Hay was severely injured in an automobile accident. The first time he made it back to sing again at St. Paul was for the graduation ceremony in 1974.
Hay was able to walk with braces and crutches for a time, but in 1995 had to start using a wheelchair. That didn't stop him from earning a bachelor's degree in English from St. Meinrad College in Indiana or earning two masters' degrees to further his ministry in music from Loyola in Chicago and DePaul in Philadelphia.
"His music was everything to him — how he expressed his faith and his love of God and it was a way to reach other people," Whitehurst said. "He loved to teach music also. When he returned to Norwalk as his medical condition worsened, he helped with liturgical music, with the band program and also helped with vocals for students in the high school musical.
Hay was a musical prodigy even as a high school student. He played trombone in the band and helped start what is now called the folk group for the 4:30 p.m. Saturday Mass.
Whitehurst said his family still has all of his original compositions and it brings them some sense of peace to know that Hay still lives through his music. He gave all royalites from his music to the church in his will.
"He had a mission and a purpose throughout his life - his music," she said.
The Rev. Dave Reinhart, former associate pastor at St. Paul from1998 to 2002, won the "lottery" of priests from the Toledo diocese who traveled to New York for the Mass at St. Patrick.
Reinhart is the president at Cardinal Stritch High School in Oregon, Ohio and also teaches a theology class. He said every diocese in the nation was given two tickets for clergy and he was lucky enough to have his name drawn for the Toledo diocese.
"I was in the very back row, side aisle, next to a pillar," Reinhart said, "but it was where he came and I could have reached out and hugged him."
Reinhart had a camera and planned on taking pictures, but put it down as the Pope approached him.
"I thought 'I don't want a camera between him and me,'" he said. "When he walked up to me I just bowed and he blessed me. Than I took a picture as he walked away."
Getting into the city and finding parking was an ordeal, Reinhart said, but it was worth it to attend the Mass.
"It was an experience to see several thousand priests and religious (leaders) gathered to listen to their shepherd," he said, since the St. Patrick Mass was for members of religious orders and various dignitaries.
"It was interesting to see grown, educated people electrified by this one man," Reinhart said. "There were people with different viewpoints on theology, but everybody was excited and clapping. The feeling when he walked in was something between a great prayerful event and the arrival of someone much bigger than a superstar. It was a mixture of reverence and electricity."
When the Pope approached each section, however, Reinhart said everyone in that area became quiet.
"When he would approach you, everyone would fall silent and bow," he said. "For me personally, I found the whole Mass very prayerful. There was something about being there in that moment when you knew he was addressing Catholics of America and the entire world."
Reinhart said he read a comment by a columnist during the Pope's visit that accurately summed up the difference between Benedict and his predecessor, John Paul II. "John Paul II made us cry and pulled on our heartstrings. Benedict is making us think and think deeply," Reinhart paraphrased.
"There was a sense that American Catholics feel a new connection with the Pope that we hadn't felt before," he said. "I believe he was really enjoying himself. He enjoyed the American people and he enjoyed the hospitality."
"I was blessed to spend a couple of hours with Pope Benedict," Reinhart said.
The Rev. Eric Schild, who was ordained a priest last June, is a 1998 graduate of St. Paul. He is now associate pastor at St. Wendelin in Fostoria and also teaches in the parish school. He led a group of 14 high school students and 14 adults to New York to the Mass at Yankee Stadium.
"It was just me and 60,000 of the Pope's closest friends," Schild, adding it was an honor to be chosen as a Eucharistic minister for the Mass. "We had to send a list of all the people who were going to the Archdiocese of New York and they called and asked various priests to distribute. I said yes, of course — what an honor."
Schild said the group crammed quite a bit into the two-day trip.
"We caravanned in five minivans," he said. "We left at 3:30 a.m. on Saturday and got there at 1:30 in the afternoon and did some sightseeing. Pretty much the whole day Sunday was taken up with the Mass. It was an all-day extravaganza and quite a fantastic trip."
Schild said he was "way up in the nosebleed section," but was moved by the reverence of the people in the crowd. "Such reverence, such piety - even though they were in a baseball stadium," he said. "It was amazing. It went from this secular stadium to a cathedral of worship."
When the pope mobile appeared, Schild said, the entire stadium erupted in cheers.
"Everyone wanted to get a glimpse of the man we call Benedict," he said. "A great quality of Pope Benedict is, as an 81-year-old man, he captures the attention of youth. You could see the transformation that took place in them."
Schild said the young people in the stadium were amazingly intent on Pope Benedict.
"The youth look up to him, they listen to him, they want a glimpse of him and they cheer for him," he said. "I think they realize he is a man of sincerity and truth in a society that doesn't value some of those things. He gives the youth something to hope for."
Schild said Pope Benedict mentioned his mentor - Pope John Paul II - a number of times and Schild believes Benedict wants to continue to focus on youth as his predecessor did.
"He challenged them to live their lives and do it with great excitement," Schild said. "Our kids came back charged up and energized and ready to go."
Though Schild didn't get to personally talk to the Pope during this visit, they met when Schild was in college and the Pope was known as Cardinal Ratzinger.
"Little did I know he would be Pope Benedict. When I met him he struck me as a gentle soul," Schild said.
"It has been interesting to see him as Pope and for me to be ordained under his spiritual leadership," he added. "I've been very struck by his gentleness and his humility."
Schild said Benedict focuses on "simple things that have profound meaning - love, hope - things that are a challenge for all of us as a society."

The last primaries of 2014 are being held Tuesday–and independent voters could decide some major contests in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. Read More »
The last round of 2014 primaries is Tuesday night, and unlike most of this year's intraparty contests, the most interesting races are among Democrats.
In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is widely expected to defeat liberal activist Zephyr Teachout, a law professor he publicly ignored before dismissing her level of support in an interview published Monday in the Washington Post.
The intrigue in New York will be over Mr. Cuomo's margin – if a substantial number of Democrats defect to Ms. Teachout, it will be seen as a rebuke to the governor – and in the Democratic contest for lieutenant governor. There, Mr. Cuomo's preferred choice, former Rep. Kathy Hochul, faces Tim Wu, a Columbia University law professor famous for coining the phrase "net neutrality." Read More »
Mitt Romney's foray into the Republican Party spotlight after a retreat following his presidential election loss began in March 2013 at CPAC and he's since been in demand at GOP events across the country. Here's a look at some of Mr. Romney's recent appearances. Read More »
The contest for New Hampshire's Senate seat is narrowing, a new WMUR/Granite State Poll has found, but many voters have not decided definitely which candidate to support.
The poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center and released Thursday, found that 46% of likely voters said they would vote for Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, while 44% would vote for Republican Scott Brown, the former Massachusetts senator who is considered the frontrunner to win the GOP nomination in the state's Sept. 9 primary.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D., N.H.) holds a commanding lead over Republican Scott Brown in a new Suffolk University poll out Thursday.

When former Massachusetts senator Scott Brown moved to New Hampshire with the intention of running for another Senate seat in what he perceived to be a friendlier political environment, he badly misjudged how Granite State voters would perceive his carpet-bagging. Read More »
Today is Monday, which means the chairwoman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, Jennifer Horn, is planning to place a call to Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
The call is purely mercenary. Mr. Pence is considering a presidential bid in 2016, according to a recent Washington Post story, which means Ms. Horn can add him to her roster of VIP headliners for party fundraisers. It's a time-honored and symbiotic tradition in states like New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina and Nevada that hold the first primary contests: local parties get to boost their coffers by billing potential presidential candidates, while those potential candidates get to raise their profiles and collect chits on crucial turf. Read More »
At long last making it official, former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown Thursday evening will formally launch his campaign to unseat Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire, and will immediately cast the race as a referendum on the 2010 health care law she supported.
"It's important to know if we are ever going to get past Obamacare and get America moving in the right direction," Mr. Brown said, in remarks prepared for his announcement in Portsmouth. "I am running to be a true independent voice for New Hampshire – I am running to hold Senator Shaheen accountable." Read More »
It's going to be game on this week in the race for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire.
Scott Brown, the Republican who used to be a senator from Massachusetts, will likely succeed in winning the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, says Washington Bureau Chief Jerry Seib in today's Seib & Co. video, and there you'll have a very interesting matchup. Read More »
Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown is about to make it official: He will formally announce his plans to run for the Senate in New Hampshire next week, he told a radio host in the Granite State Wednesday.
That word came just one day after he visited his former Senate Republican colleagues over lunch in the Capitol, where his emerging challenge to Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was welcomed. Read More »

Neanderthals, humans and interbreeding: old bones, new evidence
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.

For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
These finds open up a new horizon of research into the earliest hominins and how they lived. They also provide us with even more clues in our ongoing search for the last common ancestor.
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
If, according to evolutionary theory, the human species has evolved from non-human ancestors over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, how might we understand humans as uniquely bearing the image of God?
James Kidder explains how a stunning fossil discovery affects our understanding of human evolution.
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
Origins has given us a lot to think about, namely that there are indeed several "Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and ID", as the title states. Genuine believers have thought deeply and carefully about the various kinds of evidence and have come to differing conclusions.

Professional Writer and Editor, degree in English and Creative Writing
United States - Last active: 1 day ago - Tests: 5 - Portfolio: 2
I graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor of Art in English and Creative Writing. In the years since graduating from college I have held positions as an Editor in Chief, Administrative Assistant, Chief Blogger, and various other positions wich involved a great deal of professional writing. I believe my writing ability is what sets me apart from other freelancers on the site. I am also adept at administrative tasks such as data entry, creating schedules, communicating with clients, and other organizational duties. Some of my skills include typing a clean 90 WPM, basic HTML knowledge, a strong proficiency in all Word software, professional editing, writing, administrative tasks, and having 11 years of professional experience in these fields. As you can also see from my tests I placed 1st out of 400k+ test takers on the US Spelling Test. Aside from the professional description above I am absolutely in love with writing and words. I've always been told I have a knack for writing the perfect description that people never knew they wanted. Since I was young I devoured books like The Hobbit and a lot of children's books. I decided after college I wanted to devote myself to actually doing what I went to college for. And living in a small town doesn't lend well for writing outside of your home. So I decided the best step to take was to become a freelancer and help people all over the world with their writing needs. I've written everything from stories about video games to a memorial for a loved one. I hope by reading this you can see just how much I love to write. If you're looking for someone who is truly passionate about reading, writing, and language in general, I hope you contact me and let me assist you with the perfect phrase. - Ashley

On Customer Service: My communication skills, passion to please and ability to genuinely care for others have landed me into a very rewarding and fulfilling job as a Customer Service Representative, promoted me to Customer Service Consulting and Refinement in just one month's time ( see http://screencast.com/t/rcGb2VtF) and to a Human Resource Manager in the subsequent month.

On Writing: I'm an artist by heart, so everything I do results in a marriage of excellence and beauty. In the same manner that I can make a picture paint a thousand words, I can also paint a thousand pictures with my words.

Give me a dead topic and I will fashion it, mold it, give it a lovely form, breath life into it and animate it. Whatever you want, however you want it. One of my strengths is that I am able to look at one scenario from different point of views. In the end, it's not about the writer, it's all about the reader, so I don't care whether I'm recognized or not. All I want to do is to contribute to the well-being of my collective self present in all thoughts, for in reality, I am my own reader in the person of all others. - Jean

This water-based serum contains an impressive amount of vitamin C, an antioxidant that copious research has shown offers numerous benefits for skin, from collagen stimulation to (at high concentrations) helping to fade discolorations (Sources: International Journal of Toxicology, volume 24, supplement 2, 2005, pages 51–111; Experimental Dermatology, September 2005, pages 684–691 and June 2003, pages 237–244; Dermatologic Surgery, July 2005, pages 814–817; Nutrition Reviews, March 2005, pages 81–90; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, November-December 2004, pages 298–303; BMC Dermatology, September 2004, page 13; International Journal of Dermatology, August 2004, pages 604–607; and Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, volume 5, issue 2m March-April 2003, pages 145–149.). Of course, for all of vitamin C's benefits, it still isn't the only anti-aging ingredient you should be using; however, other than an appreciable amount of mulberry root (a plant with some in vitro research demonstrating potential skin-lightening ability due to its natural arbutin content), there isn't much to get excited about here. Regrettably, Janson-Beckett also includes a mix of potentially problematic plant extracts. The vitamin C will be battling these non-beneficial plants as it attempts to improve your skin, which isn't the best. There are better products that contain potent levels of vitamin C along with a host of other anti-aging ingredients that skin can use to look younger.
Our dual source Vitamin-C formula combines precise concentrations of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and sodium ascorbate. This potent Vitamin-C serum helps to protect against and repair environmental skin damage and signs of aging while stimulating collagen synthesis. Vitamin-C is a clinically proven potent and beneficial antioxidant. Study after study has demonstrated that it "kick-starts" collagen production in sluggish less energized skin cells. When applied to an area where fine lines and wrinkles are present it boosts the collagen levels and helps fill in the unwanted fine lines and wrinkles.
Demineralized Spring Water, Mulberry Extract, Polysorbate 20, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Ascorbate, Hops Extract, Rosemary Extract, Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, Bitter Orange Extract, Horsetail Extract, Pine Cone Extract, Lemon Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Propylene Glycol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben
Janson-Beckett Cosmeceuticals At-A-Glance
Strengths: Janson-Beckett provides complete ingredient lists on their Web site.
Weaknesses: Expensive; repetitive formulas with different claims; cleanser and toner contain potent irritants; irritating lip plumper and anti-cellulite product; the sole sunscreen option does not list active ingredients; many products contain the controversial ingredient DMAE; few options for normal to oily skin; no options for those struggling with wrinkles and acne; the company doesn't consistently follow FDA regulations for ingredient disclosure (listing trade names instead of the actual ingredients, an all-too-common occurrence).
As you may have guessed from this brand's name, their claim to fame is the intriguing yet murky category of products called cosmeceuticals. Neither the FDA nor any other cosmetic regulatory board in the world recognize "cosmeceuticals" as having any special status. It is purely a marketing term used by many skin-care companies, especially companies whose products are sold or endorsed by dermatologists (as Janson-Beckett is), to give the impression that their products have more effective or more biologically active ingredients than ordinary cosmetics. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Despite the medical slant, anyone can, and many do, slap this cosmeceutical label on their products to promote them as being more "medical." Even the FDA says cosmeceuticals don't exist, and considers these products merely cosmetics with clever marketing language attached (Source: www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/ProductandIngredientSafety/ProductInformation/ucm127064.htm).
Although you can ignore Janson-Beckett's cosmeceutical angle, you may still be wondering if they offer the cutting-edge anti-aging products they boast about. The answer is that this line offers more cutting-edge hokey claims than they do cutting-edge products. These products are sold with some of the most outlandish claims you're likely to encounter and, true to form, almost none of the claims are supported by published, peer-reviewed research.
Janson-Beckett's main claim to fame (all self-promoted) is that they were an "early entrant" into the topical-alternative-to-Botox market. They emphasize peptide acetyl hexapeptide-3, otherwise known as argireline, which is the most commonly used peptide in many of the sham skin-care products claiming to work like Botox. The issue is that if acetyl hexapeptide-3 really worked to relax facial muscles, it would work all over the face (assuming you're using the products as directed). If all the muscles in your face were relaxed, you'd have sagging, not youthful, skin, not to mention that it also would affect your hand (you apply it with your fingers), which would prevent you from picking up a cup or holding the steering wheel of your car.
Despite all the fears about Botox espoused by companies featuring this peptide in their "works-like-Botox" products, there is considerably more efficacy, usage, and safety documentation available for Botox.
Moreover, there is a clinical study showing that acetyl hexapeptid-3 does not work in any manner like Botox in reducing wrinkles (Sources: www.cremedevie.com/clinical_details.htm; and International Journal of Cosmetic Science, October 2002). It is also interesting to note that even Botox when applied topically on skin has no impact on the skin or muscles in any way, shape, or form! (Source: Cosmetic Dermatology, July 2005, pages 521–524). In fact, there is no research showing that it works at all when applied topically.
Even more shocking is that Janson-Beckett doesn't offer a single reliable option for sun protection. We can't imagine that the people behind this brand are oblivious to the pernicious aging influence that years of unprotected sun exposure has on our skin, but they seemingly couldn't be bothered to offer SPF-rated products with active ingredients capable of protecting skin from the ultraviolet damage that leads to wrinkles, discolorations, and sagging, among other undesirable results. They'll go on for pages about the "clinically proven" anti-aging ingredients in their products, but really, how seriously can an informed consumer take this brand when they can't even get the issue of sun protection right? Add to that the disingenuous UV protection claims they make for some of their products, and the ethics of Janson-Beckett become even more suspect. All told, considering this line's problems and high price point, we cannot come up with a legitimate reason to recommend any of their products over countless others.

In his private swearing-in earlier today Obama once again swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, as good as he has for the last four years because he said, "So help me God", real serious-like...
Would that be "So help me, God" or "So help ME God"? Too bad there wasn't a microphone inside his head at the moment.
Not only is the MSM insisting Obama 'Must Go for the Throat,' 'Pulverize' & 'Declare War' on the GOP, but democrats honestly believe there is no need for some of those pesky rights We The People have had for well over 200 years because, well, he is who he is...
Today on ABC's This Week, after Rick Santorum explained that Americans are protective of their right to buy guns because they "want to feel safe," former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm offered a reassuring sentiment: Americans needn't worry about protecting themselves, because they have President Obama, and "he sees himself as protector-in-chief."
"Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."
The other day, the president and the vice president announced their plans to curb gun violence in the wake of the shooting in Newtown, Conn. I agree with all of their measures. But I believe they should be bolder and stop walking on eggshells about what to do with people like me and those not even close to being like me but still labeled with the crazy term "mentally ill." The executive actions the president signed to increase access and treatment are all good, although the experts will struggle with confidentiality and privacy issues.
But since most people like me are more likely to harm ourselves than to turn into mass-murdering monsters, our leaders should do more to keep us safe from ourselves.
Please take away my Second Amendment right. Do more to help us protect ourselves because what's most likely to wake me in the early hours isn't a man's body slamming at my door but depression, that raven, tapping, rapping, banging for relief.
I have a better chance of surviving if I never have the option of being able to pull the trigger.
All I know is when I was little most kids knew when they heard their parents proclaim to them, "I swear ... so help me, God!" the crap was about to hit the fan.
Marcus Tullius Cicero regarding the danger of internal subversion. In a speech to the Roman Senate, as recorded by Sallust:
"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."
God, help us.

Roush satisfied with Edwards penalty
Updated: March 10, 2010, 2:33 PM ETAssociated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Team owner Jack Roush said Wednesday he's satisfied with the penalty NASCAR levied against driver Carl Edwards for his intentional accident with Brad Keselowski.
Edwards was in an early accident with Keselowski in Sunday's race at Atlanta, and later returned to the track and deliberately wrecked Keselowski. The contact sent Keselowki's car airborne, and NASCAR parked Edwards for the remainder of the race.
On Tuesday, he was placed on probation for three races.

Fibromyalgia: Invisible Pain is Real Too

What a great infographic! I do suffer from fibro as does my husband. It has both its good and bad side as far as I am concerned. Without being blessed with this disease, I never would have discovered that I have a creative side and started my jewelry business. On the downside, I am extremely sensitive to sound so can't listen to music anymore, I hurt a lot and am very easily fatigued. IReplyDelete

You have a great title and too many people believe everything must be fine if pain/illness isn't "evident." Untrue. Too many people suffer and it's good to know people are talking and learning about this. I know a couple of people that have gotten some relief through chiropractic adjustments.ReplyDelete
120,000,000? That's shocking. I had no idea!ReplyDelete
I have fibromyalgia. I have had it since a diagnosis in the early 1990's. I also have the syndrome that is associated with it --chronic fatigue. Then on top of that I have DVT (deep vein thrombosis).ReplyDelete
Fibro is considered a "fake' or silent illness. You can not see it outright. I do not take medication for it because of allergies to a lot of meds. I do acupuncture. I walk and do yoga. Sometimes though the pain is a lot but I try to push beyond it. (This is my way of dealing with it).
If a person has a chronic illness and it isn't visually apparent many people think that you are making it up. Not true! I'm tired of those attitudes.ReplyDelete
- cheryla listerAugust 23, 2014 at 6:53 PM
My sister-in-law has this and she is in pain a lot and also suffers fatigue. Although she doesn't always show the symptoms outwardly, she always feels the effects of this disease.ReplyDelete
I have had Fibro since the early 90's.It is a silent disease which kind ofReplyDelete
means you suffer in silence,and do not show signs of being sick.

We stayed at House Hotel 4 nights. 2 nights of them the alarming facilities went on and the whole house woke up one night at 6 a' klock and the other night at 4 a' cklock. It took about five minutes and then noise and the alarm at up the ceiling stopped. There is no staff in the hotel at nights between 11 and 7 in the morning. I think the staff gets no information about these alarms becouse the visitors leave in few days. I think the electric facilities do not bear the heating system at nig

The hostel was in a nice area, but once arrival we were met by an indifferent receptionist. It was poorly dusted in the room Iand the towel that was given had a beer cap glued to it (which was an unpleasant surprise). When the fire alarm went off the next morning the staff members seemed indifferent. Non of the guests were guided out the door, so all the guests were standing in the hallway not knowing what to do. Then after about 10 min, the alarm stopped, the staff member said 'just go on!'.

It was cheap considering location, and even though breakfast was only toasted bread, they had REAL orangejuice, not that watered down stuff you usually get in cheaper hotels. The beds were not super comfy but still okay, I would go back there! Its value for money, great location and real juice!

I originally bought this for my son and I to play on the PS4, and it is so much fun that even my wife has got in on the playing time, actually I think she has taken the game over cause it now seems that my son and I never get a turn.... So with that said, this is a fun game for the family!

I just cant process that there isn't a smart GM, Owner or some-one who will get his or their rears in gear and take him and play him!!!! That just might be the secret to everyone's success.
Lots of luck.
The most confusing team in the NFL continues to be the New York Jets. The current saga of complete confusion began last year when the Jets traded for a backup quarterback, Tim Tebow. At the time, it seemed as if owner Woody Johnson was adamant about bringing in Tebow, but now, Johnson is saying Tebow was "forced" on him according to SI.com. Head coach Rex Ryan spent the majority of 2012 dodging the Tim Tebow question. At one point, Ryan even passed Tebow in favor of "third" string quarterback Greg McElroy. Even though McElroy didn't pan out, Ryan and the Jets turned back to Mark Sanchez. With Johnson and Ryan clearly avoiding Tebow, it's becoming apparent that the idea to bring Tebow into the fold was purely, or at least mostly, the brain child of former general manager Mike Tennenbaum. Tennenbaum was fired at the end of the season, and he was replaced by Ted Sundquist. Tim Tebow will likely hit free agency in the not so distant future. The Jets are clearly moving in a new direction with their new general manager, and it's unclear if Tebow will even be able to find work in the NFL at this point. The team most thought he'd wind up with, the Jaguars, recently distanced themselves from Tebow. While Tim Tebow tries to figure out his future in the NFL, the Jets will continue to try to rebuild themselves in the likeness of an NFL team. With a new general manager in place, one would think that they stand a solid chance of moving in the right direction, but at least for now, they're still showing signs of the circus we all fondly remember.

|Remove from our midst these unfortunates : a historical inquiry into the influence of eugenics, educational efficiency as well as mental hygiene upon the Vancouver school system and its special classes, 1910-1969
|Thomson, Gerald E.
|Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
|Educational Studies
|Copyright Date:
|This is a history of special education in the Vancouver school system from 1911 to 1969. Special education is taken in the broadest sense to mean all forms of school instruction specifically created to depart from the preparation of a pupil for matriculation or academic graduation. The historical course of school reform in Vancouver was driven by the need to accommodate children who traditionally left school for work when they became too old for their grade placement. However, in a general sense, this history documents the evolution of the Vancouver school system itself from the early to mid-twentieth century and the forces which lay behind various aspects of school reform. The special classes for subnormal students was the first reform effort to deal with non-traditional pupils or feeble-minded school children as found by the second school doctor after 1910. This, in turn, led to the hiring of an American psychologist from Seattle, Washington, to find a new type of feeble-minded child, the higher-grade moron, in order to expand the special classes even further. The psychologist introduced mental testing into Vancouver's schools and helped to create a climate of acceptance for such scientific innovations in education. This study reveals the important role a group of principals played in promoting education reform within Vancouver's schools. They began to take courses at the University of Washington during the early 1920s and helped to popularize many facets of American educational efficiency. Platooning, mental testing, differential high school curriculum organized into vocational/academic tracks, and the expansion of the special classes for subnormal children acted to organize, as well as categorize, large numbers of students in order to achieve educational efficiency. The creation of the Bureau of Measurements in 1927 and the opening of Kitsilano Junior High in 1928 represented the culmination of this effort to bring scientific efficiency to the schools of Vancouver. The influence of the 1925 Putman/Weir Survey of the School System must be re-evaluated in light of the evidence this study presents regarding the transmission of ideas from the Seattle school system and the University of Washington to Vancouver. The study also elucidates two other intellectual forces that propelled school reform in Vancouver. American educational efficiency has already been mentioned. Eugenics and the promotion of its principles by the first special education teacher, the first woman to chair the School Board, and the Local Council of Women had long-term consequences. The eugenic rationale for the segregation of subnormal school children became entrenched in educational policies of the school system itself. The forced institutionalization of the feebleminded, as well as their sterilization, were legalized under provincial statutes. Mental hygiene was officially introduced to Vancouver's schools in 1939 and was dispensed by the first clinical psychiatrist who remained in his position of authority until retiring in 1969. As head of the Mental Hygiene Division of the Metropolitan Health Services during the post-Second World War period the psychiatrist began training counsellors to deal with mentally-troubled youths. Archival data shows that most of these troubled youths were from the working-class east side of the city as opposed to the wealthier west side. What emerges is a historical pattern emerges of discrimination against various types of exceptional students who had to be removed from the midst of the regular classroom. This study encompasses the scope of school reorganization in Vancouver during the period 1911 to 1969 through various special education reforms. It traces the erosion of traditional education but also attempts to reveal the conservative nature of the enacted school reforms. The differentiation, segregation and labelling of students in order to educate them according to their natural intellectual ability was on the surface educationally progressive. In the end this study will show these practices to be more bureaucratic solutions than reformist measures.

Minnesota Chamber President David Olson dies at 57
David C. Olson, 57, longtime president of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, died Wednesday after a fight with non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Olson had been fighting the disease for about 18 months and recently celebrated its disappearance, said Minnesota Chamber Board Member Bill Bennett, CEO of LHB in Duluth. But the cancer suddenly reappeared stronger than before.
"He was always passionate about doing the right thing," and worked hard to bring people representing both sides of an issue to the table, Bennett said. "He was professional and helped everyone make sense out of complicated issues."
Olson was a frequent visitor to northeastern Minnesota and had a strong following with the area's business community.
"He didn't have just a metro focus. He realized we needed a statewide focus," and frequently assisted with timber and mining issues on the Iron Range, said Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bud Stone.
"David's deep commitment to improving the state's economy and the lives of Minnesotans carried throughout his career," said Bill Blazar, senior vice president of public affairs and business development at the Minnesota Chamber. "He loved our state. He worked every day to make it better and loved being engaged in anything and everything that would make our economy stronger."
Bennett said Blazar is serving as interim president of the group.
Olson was named to the position in 1991.
"For a generation or two, we were fortunate to have him in place. This will be a big transition for the Minnesota Chamber," said Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO David Ross.
Hermantown Chamber Executive Director Mike Lundstrom described Olson as "a bright, driven man with a sense of vision," and said his knowledge of Minnesota, its political and business institutions will be difficult to replace.
"He wasn't afraid to take tough stands, but he never let the issues become personal," Lundstrom said.
"He had a big personality that served him and the Chamber well. I had a great respect for him," Ross said. Stone agreed.
"He had a very strong influence in Minnesota politics and was always interested interested in helping other Chamber executives, who often face significant challenges," he said.
"The Minnesota Chamber is stronger than ever because of an excellent board of directors and staff. David built that each and every year," said Jeff DeYoung, managing partner at Baker Tilly and chair of the Minnesota Chamber Board. "He was also directly responsible for building the statewide voice of business at the Capitol."
Olson had a successful background in chamber work before joining the Minnesota Chamber. He served five years as president of the TwinWest Chamber of Commerce and three years as executive director of the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce. Prior to that, he held staff positions in economic development, transportation and energy at the Greater Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. He also was a member of local and national boards. He currently served on the boards for the National Association of Manufacturers, United Way and Northern Star Council Boy Scouts. He was chair‐elect of the Council of State Manufacturers Association, lead business representative on the Workers' Compensation Advisory Council and a member of the Generation Next Partnership Board. He served on a number of other business and community work groups.
Olson earned a master of science degree in public administration from Mankato State University, and a bachelor of arts degree in urban/political science from St. Olaf College in Northfield. He was an Eagle Scout. He is survived by his wife, Carolyn, sons Erik and Nick.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

I'm not saying those paps are angels, but those things were not isolate incidents: JB has been losing it all through his stay in the UK.
What is his management doing? Why haven't they stepped in at some point to stop him from looking like a fool? He is 19, don't tell me no one can tell him when it's time to stop.
