Q:I have dry hair, and I use this as shampoo. It works well but it makes my hair greasy very quickly because I think it's stripping my hair too. Should I just use this as a clarifying shampoo maybe once a week, or is it ok for everyday use? Is it moisturizing for the hair or more on cleansing/squeaky clean side?Thanks!Asked on 7/28/2015 by Sal from Sourhport ct
2 answers
A:I would never use this product as a shampoo since it is a scrub/exfoliant
for your skin. How ever did you get all of it rinsed out of your hair? I'd
skip using this on your hair and try the Fairly Traded Honey shampoo since
that is great for clean but not dried out hair...plus it smells great!Answered on 8/1/2015 by BigLush from PA
A:I would recommend using one of our products that are designated to use in the hair. That is probably why you're experiencing stripping effects. You might enjoy Big Shampoo.Answered on 7/29/2015 by Kels from LUSH Direct
Q:Does anyone know if this is effective for "chicken skin?" Or the little red bumps that many people have on their arms? If not, does Lush carry another product that works? Thanks.Asked on 7/22/2015 by Judy from Michigan

A:Hi! Rub Rub Rub is a body scrub/ exfoliater, which could irritate the sensitive skin. I would recommend using Buffy Body Butter, which has a great amount of cocoa butter in it to help tame those little red bumps and make skin incredibly smooth and soft.Answered on 7/22/2015 by Anonymous
A:Any type of exfoliant will help with this issue. Rub Rub Rub is a more mild body scrub mixed with a shower gel so it is really great for everyday use to combat the issue. I would also recommend Buffy for those days when you would like to be especially smooth.Answered on 7/22/2015 by Jess from LUSH Direct
Q:Would you recommend using this with a shower loofa or a washcloth? Or rather just rub on your body using your hands?Asked on 6/22/2015 by Carol
3 answers
A:I use this on a loofah. I do so because, my son has eczema and the grittiness of the salt irritates his eczema. On the loofah it does still irritate his problem areas. However, I quickly rinse him of and lather him with Dreamwash, which immediately gives him relief. I, myself, also use it on a loofah in the shower because I find a little bit washes my whole body opposed to just getting a clump and rubbing it right on. It seems to last longer with a loofah too. Hope this helps! :-)Answered on 7/29/2015 by Mel from Colorado Springs, C
A:I prefer working with my hands, you'll get more exfoliation and a better lather if you do!Answered on 6/23/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
A:I would prefer to rub on with hands instead of a washcloth. The texture is
lost in a washcloth.Answered on 6/22/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Can I use Rub Rub Rub on my face? :cAsked on 6/21/2015 by Whim
4 answers
I wouldn't recommend using Rub Rub on your face. It's pretty abrasive. It's
important to treat your face gently and with care so that it can be wrinkle
free for a long, long time.
If you're looking for a really good exfoliant, I would recommend using Dark
Angels a couple times a week. It smells good and really deep cleans those
Hope this helps,
HeatherAnswered on 7/16/2015 by Happy Healthy Human from Michigan
A:Since Rub Rub Rub is designed specifically for scrubbing your body, you may find that it would be a bit too irritating to scrub on your face (especially if it' sensitive!) Ocean Salt would be a wonderful alternative and will leave your face feeling fresh and smooth!Answered on 6/22/2015 by Tracy from Lush Direct
A:I have, but it's not usually recommended because it's more of a body
exfoliant. Try using ocean salt on your face, though. Same concept, not as
harsh.Answered on 6/22/2015 by Emily from Greenville, SC
A:I would say yes - it is very similar to Ocean salt - for body and face.Answered on 6/21/2015 by Babs from Huntington Beach, CA
Q:Is this gentle enough to use everyday?Asked on 6/6/2015 by Ken
2 answers
A:Absolutely!Answered on 7/28/2015 by Rachel from Midwest
A:Rub Rub Rub has excellent exfoliating properties but is gentle enough for daily use.Answered on 6/7/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
Q:If i use this product, should i still use a shower smoothie, or does this product count as both?Asked on 3/29/2015 by Natalie
2 answers
A:You will likely find that Rub Rub Rub is enough on its own, but you are more than welcome to pair it with a shower smoothie if you like!Answered on 4/3/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:You can really do it either way but Rub Rub Rub can be used alone. I like to rub a handful over damp skin in the shower, concentrating on dry areas like heels and elbows. Then, I add more water in May hands until I get a wonderful lather that smells like orange blossoms and enjoy that experience until I feel like rinsing off! Voilà, beautifully soft, clean skin!!

Q:A store associate told me to never use this on my face because it's too rough for facial cleansing. How is this more abrasive than Ocean Salt? Since this only has fine sea salt rather than the large chucks like Ocean Salt does.Asked on 3/1/2015 by Ami from Topeka, KS
1 answer
A:Ocean Salt is great cleanser that is gentle enough for the face but effective enough for the body as well. Rub Rub Rub is designed for the body, where your skin is a lot thicker and tougher. Keep in mind you body rubs up against your clothing a lot more than your face does and has adapted over time to such an environment. Skin on your face has to be treated more delicately, so I think the associate was right. They both have amazing Sea Salt and the both exfoliate, but the other ingredients dictate a different result for each product, indicating different intended uses for each. Rub Rub Rub might be to rough for your face and irritate skin that is more sensitive.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
Q:I LOVE the smell of this! I went into the Lush at International Mall in Tampa a few weeks back and asked the associate if you guys made any other products that smell like the Sakura bath bomb and she gave me a hand massage with this. So I bought it and love it, was curious if you have any other products (soap, lotions) with this scent?? Thanks guys! Oh and I didn't catch her name, but the associate was super sweet. Everytime I go into one of your stores, no matter what city I am in, your associates are always so helpful and friendly!Asked on 9/11/2014 by Marisa from Tampa, FL

A:Thanks so much for your kind words. We have a shampoo with the same fragrance! It's called Seanick and it's in a bar. Have a sniff next time you are in the store.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Rene from LUSH Direct
A:Hello!! There's a great shampoo bar called "Seanik" that smells just like it and also, a bomb called "Sakura". I love the smell too and every once in a while, they have a limited edition perfume of Sakura. I bought one once and it's beautiful! gillyAnswered on 9/11/2014 by gilly from louisville
Q:I was wondering what you meant when you said it could be used as a shampoo in a ''pinch" like should i not shampoo my hair with it a lot? cause that statement kind of confused meAsked on 8/29/2014 by dalal
2 answers
A:Our Rub Rub Rub is very similar to our BIG shampoo so if you run out of your favorite shampoo, feel free to use a bit of Rub Rub Rub! We say in a pinch because it shouldn't be used all the time because it isn't quite as moisturizing as BIG or other shampoos and may dry hair out if used too often, but it will save you if you are "in a pinch!"Answered on 9/25/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I honestly wouldn't use it on my hair regularly. It won't hurt it but my
hair is dry, and it's just not a good match for dry hair.Answered on 8/29/2014 by Anonymous
Q:How does this compare to Ocean Salt, as they're both sea salt scrubs?Asked on 5/1/2014 by Megan from United States
3 answers
A:I would say this compared to Ocean salt because they are both scrubs the
difference is the smell and textures I've tried both Ocean Salt is gritty
and the smell is almost lemony and salty and Rub rub is gentler and the
smell is more floral i like both both leave your skin wicked soft and
moisturizedAnswered on 5/5/2014 by Anonymous
A:Rub Rub Rub is made with only fine sea salt instead of a mixture of coarse and fine. Ocean Salt is able to be used for both face and body, whereas Rub Rub Rub is best for body only.Answered on 5/3/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I have both! The rub rub rub is thin and almost watery .it has very small salt pieces that are sand like. It turns into a light lather. Good for shower. I LOVE the ocean salt. I use this as a face wash. It smells great and has a thicker cream like consistency. It has bigger salt pieces and I think it exfoliates better too. It leaves your skin feeling moisturised afterward.

A:Rub Rub Rub has a shelf life of 14 months, but it is all best to check the "best by" sticker for the exact date.Answered on 4/1/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
Q:what would be a good prouct to use for excema?Asked on 3/17/2014 by ash from norrstown, pa
3 answers
A:The high concentration of salt may irritate more sensitive areas of the skin. I would recommend checking with your dermatologist if you are concerned about its affect on excema.Answered on 3/22/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I don't have excema, but I do know that this is my favorite Lush product!
I mainly use it on my body, but have used it on my face in a pinch with no
irritation. Your skin will feel so soft and smooth!Answered on 3/20/2014 by Anonymous
A:Hello! Definitely Dream Cream and Dream Wash. They are both wonderful in many ways! I hope this helps! gillyAnswered on 3/17/2014 by gilly from louisville
Q:This might be a silly question, but can this be applied to the vaginal area ? If not is there a scrub that you could reccomend that would be okay for thatAsked on 11/4/2013 by a from winston salem, NC
1 answer
A:I would not recommend putting any of our products on your vaginal area. Medically, that area is extremely sensitive and we would not want you to have a reaction. If you would like to use Rub Rub Rub on your bikini line, that would be perfectly okay!Answered on 11/17/2013 by Anonymous
Q:Can this product be used on the face?Asked on 10/19/2013 by Megan
1 answer
A:You may use this for your face, the choice is up to you! Although, with the sea salt in this product it may be slightly rough on your face. It is an excellent exfoliant and can be used on ones face.Answered on 11/21/2013 by Anonymous
Q:I understand that Rub Rub Rub can be used as a shampoo as well as scrub, however is it safe to use on colored/dyed hair?Asked on 7/8/2013 by Hayley from NC
2 answers
A:Rub Rub Rub contains loads of sea salt, which is naturally very cleansing and does tend to strip colored hair quicker than products that do not contain it. We would not recommend it for color treated hair.Answered on 8/21/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I used this product on my bright blue hair, and while I don't think it made the color fade any faster than usual it did dry it out quite a bit. Just to be safe I'd use something else instead.Answered on 7/28/2013 by Paige from Toronto
Q:Does this help with cellulite? I start by rubbing this over my dry sin, and then rub and rinse with water after - it makes my skin feel AMAZING! It seems similar in premise to dry brushing, which is why I ask..Asked on 7/17/2012 by kiki from austin tx
1 answer
A:Exfoliation helps increase circulation which can improve the appearance of cellulite. It's definitely worth a try!Answered on 8/28/2012 by Megan from LUSH Direct

PROVO, Utah - The New Mexico State volleyball team fell 3-0 (8-25, 17-25, 14-25) to No. 12 BYU in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Friday, Nov. 30, in Provo, Utah.
The Aggies were held to a negative hitting percentage while BYU posted a .351 hitting percentage as a team. NM State was defeated by a tough Cougar team that posted 12 total team blocks and marked only 11 attack errors.
The Aggies finished the year with a 22-11 overall record, while winning the Western Athletic Conference Tournament in San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 21. BYU, who moves to 27-3 on the year, will face Oklahoma in the second round at 7 p.m. (MT) in Provo, Utah.
"BYU is a great team. They played well and they did a great job of blocking, and even more so at digging the ball," head coach Mike Jordan said. "I was disappointed at our performance and effort tonight. You can't pass the ball that poorly and expect to win."
Junior Lauren Loerch marked a team-high seven kills against the Cougars and sophomore Meredith Hays added six. It was a disappointing night for the middles as junior Desiree Scott had only one kill and junior Preslie Alexander posted three. Red shirt freshman Bradley Nash and libero Stephanie Ziegler led the Aggies with seven digs each.
"Hopefully we will be able to use this as some motivation in the off-season to get better," Jordan said.
The Aggies fell behind early on dropping the first three points. BYU went on a on 9-0 scoring rally to extend its lead to 10 at 12-2. After the Cougars used a 10-5 point run to go up 22-7. BYU finished the set winning 25-8 to go up one set to zero.
It seemed like NM State came to life in set two taking a 4-2 lead early on, but BYU jumped back in the set and tied it up at 5-5. The Aggies fought but could not get any momentum and fell behind 15-10 midway thru set No. 2. The Aggies allowed a 5-1 run before BYU took a 20-11 lead. NM State scored five of the next seven points to squeeze the lead to six but eventually lost 25-17.
The Aggies were blocked three consecutive times to start set three before falling behind 5-1. NM State scored four consecutive points to tie it up at five-all but the Cougars regained the momentum and took full advantage of that to go up 16-9. After the Aggies fell behind 22-14, they were aced to fall 25-14, ending the 2012 season.

VNV Nation at Barfly, Birmingham - 9th Dec 2007
For the first time in their history VNV Nation played Birmingham. I first saw then in London several years ago and had a great night, so was expecting a great night ahead. We weren't disappointed. A mixture of old and new, slow and fast songs delight us and left us wanting more, and we got it. After 3 sets of encores they finally said goodnight. Thanks guys, and hopefully see you in Brum again.

Using the 2GB iPod Shuffle with Linux
From Brandonhutchinson.com
I was unable to successfully get music to play on my 2GB iPod Shuffle using both Rhythmbox 0.11.5 and Amarok 220.127.116.11 on my Ubuntu 8.04 system. Although both Rhythmbox and Amarok successfully transferred music to the Shuffle, it wouldn't play: I'd get alternating green and amber lights and no music.
I haven't had this problem with the 1GB Shuffle.
Note: I don't remember if the Shuffle comes with an iPod_Control directory. If it does, you can skip the following section.
Build the iPod_Control directory
- Start up amarok.
- Select Settings/Configure Amarok...
- Select Media Devices
- Make sure you are using the Apple iPod Media Device Plugin: for your iPod Shuffle media device. Click Ok.
- Click on Devices on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Click Connect near the top of the screen.
- When prompted to Initialize iPod?, select Initialize.
You will now have an iPod_Control directory where your iPod is mounted (probably /media/IPOD).
Download rebuild_db
- Download rebuild-db.
- Extract the tarball, and copy rebuild_db to the root directory of your iPod. e.g.,
$ tar zxvf rebuild_db-1.0-rc1.tar.gz $ cp rebuild_db/rebuild_db.py /media/IPOD
- Copy music to your iPod (you can create directories within the root directory), and run rebuild_db.py. e.g.,
$ cp -r Top_100_1960 /media/IPOD $ cd /media/IPOD $ ./rebuild_db.py
Disconnect the Shuffle and enjoy your music!
Make sure to re-run rebulid_db.py when adding or removing songs.

Creme d'Nude is a great nude lipstick. Overall, the texture is quite good, but pale skinned girls like myself might need to watch it with this shade, because it's quite easy to have that "dead" look with such a lack of bright colour.

|Previous College:
|Georgetown '99
Claire Martin-Doyle enters her ninth season as the head coach of MIT lightweight women's rowing program. In 2013-14 she guided the team to a gold medal at the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta, the third consecutive year the team medaled at the event, as well as seeing her squad qualify for the IRA National Championship. Other highlights for the season were a first-place finish in the Petite Final at the IRA National Championships and a final national ranking of seventh in the USRowing Collegiate Poll. Highlighting the program's commitment to academic success, six members of the 2013 varsity eight earned accolades as CRCA scholar-athletes.
Martin-Doyle joined the Engineers in 2006 as novice lightweight women's coach and was promoted to head coach in 2007. During her time at MIT the Engineers have had success in racing and in growing the lightweight program across the board.

LAUREL HILL — Creating colorful arrangements in her silk flower gift shop brings comfort to a north county woman whose illness cost her a teaching career.
Devona Willis, 64, has prepared synthetic flowers for 12 years; the hobby helped her cope after quitting her 20-plus-year teaching career due to fibromyalgia, a common syndrome that causes muscle pain.
"It's chronic fatigue and pain," Devona said. "It changed my life — deeply.
"I still have dreams where I am still in the classroom teaching. I thought that was my calling."
Now, she's fashioning a hobby into a home-based business.
"I spend most of the day inside the shop," Devona said, referring to The Shepherd's Daughter, her business in the family's former garage, near Almarante Cemetery.
"Out there is death; in here is life," Devona said.
Divine inspiration
Devona and her husband, Dale, have been married nearly 45 years and have lived in Laurel Hill since 1976.
Dale — a retired educator and baseball coach — supports his wife's endeavor.
"Its something she likes to do and she is good at it," he said.
The couple has two grown children and five grandchildren. Their son and daughter have followed their parents' example and became educators. Brad Willis, 42, teaches near Dothan, Ala.; Kelli Donofro, 43, teaches in Crestview.
Dale spends his time hunting and fishing in the north county's rural area that has, as he says, limited recreation options.
"Up here, there is not a lot for ladies to do," he said.
It took some divine inspiration, as Devona believes, to find what was missing.
That muse was a sign she passed one day while driving from a visit with one of her children. The sign said "The Carpenter's Daughter," and though that title was taken, another one came clear.
"The Holy Spirit whispered to me, 'Devona, you can be the Shepherd's Daughter,' she said. "It began to make sense to me."
Devona — whose maiden name is Shepherd — wants to share her hobby with women who need their own comfort.
"It's therapy for me, but it's a getaway place for women to come," she said. "It's a feast for their eyes and it's a healing for your heart and soul."
It starts with a stick
Devona said she designs the arrangements on her own with no pictures to inspire her.
"Everything in here is one of a kind," she said.
It starts with placing a stick in a foam base. She then decorates the tree with floral tape, ribbon and silk flowers.
If requested, she adds a personal touch.
"I can make a Hobo tree and Bulldog tree," she said, referring to the Laurel Hill and Crestview athletic teams' mascots. She also fashions seasonal trees for Christmas and Valentine's Day.
The work is time consuming — "the broomstick trees can easily take a couple of hours to do," she says — and materials are expensive.
And she's a stickler for quality.
"I have been known to take the arrangements apart and start all over," she said.
In addition to synthetic floral arrangements, the shop has a selection of Christian themed books and children's DVD's.
Willis plans to add candlewarmers to the shop's inventory this year.
The shop has irregular hours, and Devona said people could call her cell phone, 496-0353, to set an appointment.
With her creativity intact, despite a chronic condition, the designer hopes others can see misfortune's unseen benefits.
"There are times that I have energy that is through the roof, and other times I would just crash," she said.
"Nevertheless, "I'm at the point of my life where I can see the total picture. I know for women that go through heartache or disappointment, there (are) other things ahead."
Want to go?
The Shepherd's Daughter is at 3647 Highway 602 in Laurel Hill.

Sebastian Weigle
General Music Director
This season Sebastian Weigle conducts a new production Hänsel und Gretel, a revival of our wonderful production of Die Frau ohne Schatten, a work he conducted at the 2014 Munich Opera Festival, a new production of Der Rosenkavalier and the first ever performances in Frankfurt of Bohuslav Martinů's Julietta. During 2014/15 he will also conduct a new production of Der Freischütz and performances of Die Zauberflöte at the Staatsoper in Berlin, where he was born. He made his debut at Oper Frankfurt in the 2002/03 season with performances of Salome, returning for the, then, new production of Die Frau ohne Schatten, for which he was voted »Conductor of the Year« by Opernwelt magazine in 2003. He was GMD of the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona from 2004-2009 before taking up the same post at Oper Frankfurt in 2008/09. Last season he conducted new productions of Rusalka, Ariadne auf Naxos, Don Giovanni and concert performances of Strauss' Die Liebe der Danae for the company, all works he had never conducted before. Other operas in recent seasons have included Königskinder, Der Spieler/The Gambler, La fanciulla del West, Otello and our wonderful new Ring (available on CD and DVD/OehmsClassics); he has also concluded a series of concert performances of early Wagner operas with Rienzi, which have all been released on CD by OehmsClassics. This former Staatskapellmeister at the Staatsoper in Berlin has also enjoyed great success at the Semperoper in Dresden, the Hamburg State Opera (Salome 2014), the Vienna State Opera and the opera houses in Cincinnati and Sydney and the Metropolitan Opera New York. Five years running, ending in 2011, he conducted Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg in Bayreuth. He has also conducted this opera at the 2013 Spring Festival in Tokyo and at Zurich Opera.

Don't you just love Savannah? Since I now live about 20 minutes from Savannah, I just love to visit! The shops that you enjoyed are also my favorites. I will have to check out Byrd's though, never been there!
Happy Holidays!
I heart Savannah!!! I heart Paris Market. I heart the books from One Fish, Two Fish. I heart the crown cake plate from DC2. I might have to get one or two of these for my Mardi GRAS celebrations.ReplyDelete
Looks like good shopping in Savannah. You missed a photo op of your little one with your sister's son in front of that one shop! :-)
Happy 2012!
I have never been to Savannah, but I dream of going! I am loving all the finds from your first shop. Have a wonderful day! ~ AndreaReplyDelete

He is obviously going through something that is keeping his mind out of the game.
I respect that he said you know I have to handle what ever that maybe before I get back to fighting. So instead of sitting on the belt I will just come back and earn it again.

The King is dead, long live the King. Hendricks vs Lawler is a best case scenario here.
Lawler has rededicated himself to his craft, and emerged a different fighter. He's on a three fight tear, and is also highly exciting and always a threat. He wont just be jabbing for 5 rounds. Punches in bunches YEAH!!!!
He's actually one of my favorite fighters, and seeing him get a shot is great. A motivated Ruthless can end anyone's night quick-like.
He survived the extended legs version of the Randleplex, and won. More fights for Robbie plz. He's got heart.
KO at 4:09
Lawler is the WW Mark Hunt. WAAAAR LAWLER!!!
What I don't get is: wasn't Hendricks suspended for a knee injury?
"Johny Hendricks: suspended until 5/17/14 unless cleared by orthopedist for right knee"
Regarding GSP: good for him. If he manages to find his fire and focus again and returns in good shape, I'll be happy; if he doesn't and retires at the peak of his carreer... well, life will go on, and he'll be remembered as one of the all-time greats. The worst thing he could do for his reputation is to turn in some half-assed efforts, lose a few fights he should have won, and then retire, and I'm glad we won't see that happening.There are no wrong threats, only wrong answers. (Strategy game truism)
His heart was visible, and the dismal sack that maketh excrement of what is eaten.

Also, the refs favor the home teams so much it's shocking.
All the proof I need...the Raiders only got called for 3 penalties today
The NFL does not care. They are making money, people are showing up, and people are watching on TV.
What the ref's are asking for is not crazy. They should be paid like full time employees. They claim it's very difficult to have a full time job when you have to be at the disposal of the NFL from August-January.
Pay them like professional full time employees. The NFL is making billions...makes no since.
There is a huge difference between these new guys and the regular NFL ref's, it's not a matter of debate. The networks are complaining as well because the games are lasting so much longer. NFL Redzone had to sign off at 8pm because their contract said they had too and some games were still playing....at 8pm! Games that start at 1pm should be over by 4ish and games that start at 4 should be over by 7ish...
1st pick of the 2022 baseball amateur draft
Anyone else watching this MNF game? Holy cow lol
Okay I don't even know what's going on anymore.
Real refs will be back next week.
Pack was robbed.
That was brutal.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Hahaha the fake refs are crumbling in front of our eyes.
There, bad refs and a fiasco at the end cost a team a game.
Teach tolerance.
Goody-goody Tirico even saying the Pack was jobbed.
When did Vince McMahon become commissioner of the NFL?
"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
There is far too much at stake to let this continue, and I'm referring to my Fantasy Football team's standings
"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
I had a small amount on the Packers -3.5, cost me my lunch money tomorrow.
I feel for those who had big bucks on GB.
Hacks on the NFLN totally glossed over the last play. Disgraceful.
Oh how I will enjoy watching them squirm the rest of the week.
Those refs knew they weren't going to get out of there alive if that call was overturned.

Is Joe Jonas Now Dating Artist Blanda Eggenschwiler?
Another day, another Joe Jonas dating rumor!
Blanda Eggenschwiler has quite the name, and she may also have Joe's romantic attention. The Switzerland-born former model, now New York artist, was photographed with Joe, his brothers, and Kevin's wife Danielle on Wednesday before the band's L.A. concert.
Paparazzi got photos of the group leaving an L.A. home, then walking in some parking lot, with both Joe and Blanda wearing semi-matching hats.
Joe, 23, is a dating machine, and he's previously romanced Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Ashley Greene and Camilla Belle, among others. Right now this is just a rumored romance, but the Daily Mail says Joe and Blanda have been seen together several times in the past few weeks. Where there's smoke there's fire, or just friends?

This Hotel Lets You Order Pizza at the Push of a Button
You've just arrived to your hotel after a soul-sucking flight (or train trip, or car ride), and you're starving—it's late, room service isn't an option, and the vending machine down the hall promises nothing more than a sugar crash down the line. You roll over in bed in despair, when your eyes alight on curious salvation: a pizza button. On the phone. A button on the phone for pizza. More

With My Own Two Hands I made this, and with your own two hands, I hope you create and enjoy.
This is my contribution to My Legume Love Affair, a monthly event celebrating legumes started by Susan of The Well Seasoned Cook and hosted this time by Lori Lynn of Taste with The Eyes.
Black-Eyed Peas with Fenugreek and TomatoesMore recipes for black-eyed peas from Lisa's Vegetarian Kitchen:
1 cup of black-eyed peas, soaked overnight in enough water to cover
2 tablespoons of ghee, or a mixture of butter and oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 large clove of garlic, minced
3 hot red chillies, seeded and finely diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon of ground coriander
2 large tomatoes, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons of sea salt
1/3 cup of dried fenugreek leaves (methi)
Drain the beans, transfer to a medium large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the beans are tender - roughly 35 minutes. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid.
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. When hot, add the onion, garlic, and hot peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion browns, roughly 10 minutes. Now add the ground spices, stir, and add the chopped tomatoes, salt, and fenugreek leaves to the pan. Simmer for another 5 - 10 minutes, or until you have a thick sauce.
Now add the cooked beans to the pot and some of the reserved cooking liquid to achieve your desired consistency (I added roughly 1 cup). Simmer for another 5 - 10 minutes. Add more of the reserved cooking liquid if desired.
Serves 4.

The first world premiere trailer at the 10th Annual Spike Video Game Awards opened with an original IP from a newly developed studio in Sweden. Host Samuel L. Jackson enticed the worldwide audience by boasting that the trailer contained "100% gameplay." It did, in fact, look stunning. But The Phantom Pain isn't an upcoming game at all — it's an elaborate teaser for Kojima's Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.
For now it's obviously a hunch, but allow me these several observations to support the hunch.
First, the protagonist in the hospital is constantly shown from behind. From that angle, however, we see an iconic mullet, and a white bandage wrapped around the figure's injured head which looks eerily reminiscent of Solid Snake's trademark bandana. When the camera does tease us with a more revealing view, we even see a beard and a chiseled face.
As several of my Twitter followers observed, the narrative and visuals from the trailer are dripping with Hideo Kojima's influence. Speaking of visuals, it was a showcase for an impressive graphics engine…and it looked an awful lot like the Fox Engine that Kojima Productions unveiled earlier this year.
Speculation has exploded on NeoGAF, with one user stating "This is clearly an elaborate troll by Kojima." Adding fuel to the fire is Spike TV personality Geoff Keighley's promise that one of the reveals tonight would be cryptic — and thus far everything but The Phantom Pain has been straightforward.
Metal Gear fans will undoubtedly find more clues in the trailer — such as the masked figure toward the end who seems to be manipulating the protagonist's vision — much like the infamous Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid.
But here's a megaton clue, unearthed by Lance Roth of RPGamex.com (he's sitting next to me at the VGA press lounge): The CEO of Moby Dick Studio is Joakim Mogren. Unscramble his first name and what do you get? KOJIMA.
Update 1: Several savvy readers have pointed out that this trailer is likely a Metal Gear Solid V reveal, not another glimpse into Ground Zeroes. This image lends credence to that claim:
Update 2: I just walked through the Sony Pictures lot with a Konami representative, who laughed knowingly after viewing this article and said "I can't confirm or deny anything."

I still think AC is the best MMORPG that has been made. The lore is great, the ability to custom-build your type of character has no equal I've found, and the variety of quests is still amazing. The biggest thing I've heard anyone say about the game is the need to update the graphics, and refine the coding to reduce lag. If AC could accomplish those two things alone, I think former players would come back in droves. I know it's a major undertaking that would cost a fortune, but is it really a risky bet for a game that has the staying power this one does? There aren't many others that have the longevity, and there's a reason for that. This game is simply a very, very good game. If it wasn't fun, people wouldn't still be playing it. I keep returning for the game, and leaving because of the ancient graphics. I still have one of my original characters from the first year of the game. I've tried other games, and find I get bored with them, even WoW, with all it's glitz. There's just something about AC that has never been matched elsewhere. I'd hate to see the bad graphics cause that intangible something to wither away.

You don't stop playing because you get old - you get old because you stop playing.
Got to agree, Asheron's Call is one of the best, most-pioneering MMOs I've seen to date. Character development, open sandbox style with world events on a regular basis - classic and unendingly fun.
Got to disagree with the second part though. I'd come back and play AC in a heartbeat with the existing graphics - but I can't. I suffer the same problem as many others in that the game and server setup simply won't communicate with my modem, so I cannot get past the loading screen.
Seeing as how technology moves on so fast in the world today, my first priority would be to update the game connection technology/specs/process to ALLOW people to get back into it - AC will never compete with more modern MMOs for graphics, but will blow 99% of them away for gameplay, fun and longevity.
Anyone that plays a game based on graphics is the same type of person that will leave as soon as the next game is released. Those are the types of people that play any given MMO for only 1-3 months before moving on, and that isn't where the staying power comes from.
Would newer graphics be nice? Of course. Is it necessary for the game to continue to be fun? Not at all. And that is where the real staying power comes from, the game is fun.
But I certainly wouldn't be against the game getting rebuilt on a modern engine, since they do have LotRO and DDOs engines to work with, I'm sure it's just too big of an investment for them to want to do it.
To bring people back to the game that have left, and, more importantly, to grow the population and attract new players, Asheron's Call must have graphics that are not nearing 10 years old. If Asheron's Call wasn't fun, I wouldn't keep coming back to it. I've been a player since the second month of release. When it was released, the game had graphics that were equal to anything else available. How many games with a substantial following still have graphics engines that old? A handful. The ones that still survive have dedicated fans because of the quality of the games.
It is an unfortunate fact that if I log in, say in Holtburg, the number of bots in town far outnumbers the players on most occasions. New players rarely appear- most low level characters are alts for established players. A graphics update would bring back old players that loved the game, and provide a reason to promote the game to new players- the only real way the game will continue to survive in the long run. On the other hand, if Turbine is merely going to milk the game until it dies with as little additional investment as possible, it will die a withering death.
Look at all the new games that appear, after years of heavy development, only to die not long after release because the game doesn't grab the audience. Isn't Dungeons and Dragons a good example of this, to say nothing of AC2? Asheron's Call has that special something that catches our imagination. Aside from that, it is indeed, a fun game. However, it is fast approaching the place where you have to question if it is still a MASSIVELY MULTI-PLAYER online game. It's just not that massive anymore. It's not as exciting as it was in the days of large crowds in all towns. I really wish that would change, but I don't see Turbine willing to invest in AC in a big way. I sure wish they would. After the minor graphics update they did previously, and with the last expansion, AC was available for a short time at a retail level again, and actually brought some new players into the game. But it's been a long time since that expansion, and I don't hear any talk of any more of them on the way. If I'm wrong about that, I would be ecstatic.

They release expansion sized patches for free now. 100th update had a ton of content, new features, whole new loot tear along with brand new types of armor. Societies and PvP elements. It would of been an expansion by most other companies standards but it was just a free download. For 10th anniversary they're talking about brand new skills, a quest panel (yes finally). That patch will probably also be an expansion sized one but it will also be free. That is why you don't see boxed expansions anymore.

Just because they release patches "the size of expansions" (which they don't), doesn't mean it is alright to sit on 10 year old DX7 graphics. Yes, they updated to DX8 like 4 years ago, when DX9 was out, congrats to them. Look at Everquest, they constantly update their engine, and with the money that Turbine pulls in from LotRO and DDO there is no reason they shouldn't be looking at improving the graphics of the game, except for the fact that they don't want to invest a nickle into it.
It takes far less money to generate some textures (and that is all the Turbine Armor is, just retextured models) then to create a new engine. The problem is, AC is probably down to it's last few thousand players. With no one wanting to join any more, and old players moving on to other games. Yes, it has some of the best gameplay and character development. I played WoW for 4 years after leaving AC, so graphics aren't a huge catch, but I can't play something that looks like it was made for the Playstation 1. Seriously, a simple graphics update would do wonders.
The other hope, is a new game based on AC with some unique mechanics and an improved gaming engine. Yet, I have a feeling Turbine wants to let AC die a slow death.

They release a patch last year that was the same size as most game expansions, and they had the 10th anniversary this year which introduced a new creature race, two new skills (so essentially a new class) and a quest journal among other things. Which is generally the amount of stuff that once again you get with a paid expansion in other games, but good job on being ignorant and posting on the fact that you are.
As I said before I have no problems with people who play a game based on graphics to not join the player base. That same type of person leaves games frequently looking for what's new and shiny. The majority has spoken and it is why the mmo genre is getting worse by the year. Players want more and newer shinies, and they want simple games that just keep throwing new bings at them (levels, loot, titles every few minutes). So that is how all new games will be made, they will b edesigned to hold someone's attention for a max of 3 months and then the next game is released. I don't want any part of that cycle or those boring games.
Asheron's armor is pallettized models. So there are like 12 styles of armor, maybe more I was counting off the top of my head, all with their own models and then the texture is changed so that players can dye them and find different color setups. The newest armor (society armor) does have solid models and textures. New stuff created generally does, but no it w ould cost a ton to overhaul the tens of thousands of preexisting art assetss, both models and textures.
I don't comment on this game as person who immediately jumped to the newest shiniest game. I started playing AC 2 months after it started. I consistently held an account for about 8 years. I had 3 accounts for about 4 years. I'm sorry, but Turbine just doesn't invest into the game at the same level they used to. They used to have weekly content updates, no charge. They would add quests, and more importantly, add to the ongoing storyline on a weekly basis. It kept people invested, much as a tv show that is continued until next week's episode. When the moved away from the weekly patches, it became more difficult keeping the sense of involvement in a story that was continually developing. The deep storylines were the most compelling feature. They seem to have lost that central storyline to a great degree, starting before the ToD expansion. That expansion largely ignored what had been an ongoing story that had lasted for years. It went in a completely different direction, and I think it really disconnected the lore.
When AC first went live, everyone was using Windows 98. A large hard drive was 20-40 gb, and processors and video cards were equally limited. AC2 was an attempt to bring the graphics up to speed, but the world was largely two-dimensional. The buildings were cardboard cutouts that you couldn't even enter. The original AC world was totally accessible, you could enter all the buildings. You could climb all the mountains. There were very few artificial graphic walls that stopped you from going anywhere. That's still an area AC has over every other game out there. The lack of narrow borders that a player needed to stay within, both in the gameworld and in the character design, remains unique to AC. You want a spellcasting warrior? No problem. You want to explore every building in the world? Have at it.
I find it regrettable that Turbine doesn't recognize the gem it has, and put money into it accordingly. Update the graphics. Go back to a weekly patch regimen that keeps a developing storyline involving players in the lore. Put out major expansions once a year that offer an opportunity to draw new players into the game. D&D is a dog. AC2 deserved its fate. LotR is clumsy to play, even if it's pretty to look at.
I've spent a lot of time and money playing MMORPGs. I've tried most, but the only ones I've committed to long-term had something unique about them. I just find the graphics in AC now similar to watching a black and white movie after just watching a blu-ray disk. If what they're doing currently was enough, the game world wouldn't be so empty. Fix the graphics. Do weekly story updates again. See how many former players come back in a heartbeat.

"You are wrong, the armor in Asheron's Call is all mesh. All they do is take the standard body type of the male and female and then they draw the armor directly on top of that. Nothing more. Don't believe me? Take your armor off, look at the size of your character, then put it back on, nothing changes size wise. Nothing in the game is done with "solid models" because they game and the skeletons of the characters don't support it."
Wrong. Asheron's Call was before meshes became common practice. Each part of the character is in fact a seperate model. There is an upper and lower arm model for example, they are then all put together in the animations. And as a very quick and easy example to your armor, the viamontian armor suits completly change the body shape and size of the wearer. Armor in AC is not the paint over that games with meshes tend to use now, each piece of armor is an actual model that covers the body part. Another easy way to see this is to wear different types of armor together, so wear one styles breastplate and another armor types sleeves, and the models don't fit together where they meet, because one type is big heavy armor and another is small light armor. They are actually models. All items can also be dropped on the ground so there is the 3d model used for that as well (and yes the different pieces and types of armor all look like their respective armor when dropped, it isn't just a this is a piece of armor graphic).
There is no cop out in the graphics issue. The fact that AC still has players after 10 years with the same graphics shows to the gameplay. The fact that most MMOs now a days release with huge sales numbers month 1 and then down to a fraction of that month 2 and 3 is because everyone jumps to the new and shiny, then they are bored and need another new and shiny. So why would a company invest millions to redo an entire game's art just to draw in the crowd that needs the new and shiny that will leave anyways once the next new pretty game is released.
"but tell me what game introduces a new mob and 2 skills and calls it an expansion? I want to hear this. If you say WoW, you are wrong. Last expansion they introduced a new continent half the size of the original game, a whole new class with close to 50 unique skills, a whole new crafting skill, and a good dozen or so dungeons. Which seems to be the typical expansion for most games. So obviously, I am ignorant."
Yes clearly you have issue with AC and good for you. But you are still ignorant. Let's look at it as a whole then since maybe that will be easier for you. Most games release an expansion once a year sometimes once every 2 years. They add a new area to hunt in, a new class, and raise the level cap.
AC releases new content every month for free, equaling easily 30 new quests a year. AC on top of that releases big updates also for free. These big update this year brought a new fighting skill and a new crafting skill. A new mob (as in entire new art and then all the level breaks of that mob), 2 new hunting areas, a quest journal which the game never had, a new jewelry slot that works in a different way then previous ones (have to find specific items and then craft them making a variety of choices to put there that have spells unique only to this type of jewelry).
Last year's big update brought 2 new landmasses to fight on, new pk control towns, socities which each have at least 30 quests involved with them, new society only armor and items. An entire new tier of loot, so a new level of every type of weapon and spell. A new system of accessing the new loot through gaining keys from a large selection of quests along with finding it on loot.
The producer's letter and ask the devs info released this past week talks about new playable races and a new level cap (among a bunch of other interesting additions and art improvements) on top of the continuing added content.
But I can see how these free updates are nothing like the paid expansions of other games........

Lol you mention other games adding 30 quests as a bonus, I show that AC did that too and you make remarks that show how pathetic you are in return, nice one.
The new races are likely to not be human, lugians/gearknights/empyreans have all been talked about as likely choices.
I am willing to wager with you right now that the armor is actual models, so much so that I would like to wager which one of us is wrong has to delete his MMORPG account. What do you say? We will ask the devs via their forums or e-mail directly.

AC was my First Online game and the one that got me HOOKED on Gaming [Thanks Matt....lol]
It was Brilliant and all the concepts still are - only ONE thing WRONG, Up date the Graphics - Especially the Character Graphics.
I have spoken to a lot of friends that were in AC with me and other people that played it - they say IF the graphics were Updated they WOULD GO BACK! I would go back in a Heartbeat if they updated the Graphics. The monthly Subscription is far too high for the kind of Graphics they are giving.
Come on TURBINE - UPDATE the GRAPHICS! It WILL Pay for itself in the long run!

a graphics update will only go so far, AC is an amazing game but the UI and combat definitely needs to be upgraded. If they could make the melee/ranged combat something similar to what DDO uses I think this would make AC into a much more fun to play game for most newer mmo players.
I used to like their UI - and found it hard when first moving to another game to get used to the others with their Cluttered up screens.
I still find a lot of Games screens very cluttered - so Games like RIFT, Conan etc with their allowing players to move anything on the screen to suit their mode of play suits me beautifully. Have to say so far though RIFT is the best for being able to move and size all on the screen, only thing I still do not like in most games is the fact we cannot make the Chat boxes even smaller than they allow atm, AC2 was great for that - my chat box was 1" x 1" Perfect.....LOL
I would go back if they just brought the graphics up to date and left the UI - but I understand that people want Different things - but then again if they did improve the graphics [which in reality would mean remaking the whole game with a different Graphics engine] then Changing the UI would just be part and parcel of that.
I know they tried to do better with AC2 - and despite what some people say - I liked AC2 as well - Turbine were pretty good at game making - so What happened TURBINE? Come on you KNOW YOU CAN do it again! :o))
Give us back the BEST game - but updated - PLEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZE!

Since they do monthly updates (and basically have to keep that up as all existing players are too used to it at this point) they add/enhance graphics slowly over time. They did the landscape and they've done a few of the world objects. They added the gearknights, gurogs, snow tuskers which are all higher quality art than what existed in AC. They said in the producer's letter that they are planning on updating the art on the undead race soon as well.
They also recently added mouse turning/moving to allow people from other MMOs get into the game and use the controls they are used to. Also they announced that they are looking to start on some UI changes this year.
Ya, the things they r bringing into the game and the way the story line is going looks like they r moving towards the time of AC2's history, all the critters they r bringing in so far, r from AC2.
Problem is they r taking So Long to update the graphics, that by the time it is fully updated I will be in my Dotage............lol and other games will Still be far ahead in Graphic terms, as they would have moved ahead as well!

Basically if you need the whole game's graphics updated for you to want to play it, then you don't want to play the game in the first place.
Graphics do not equal fun and AC is serious fun.
I did play it from the beginning till AC2 came out! I also went back - but Graphics DO make a difference to game play!
I have also played WoW from Beta - which is a pretty long time.
Turbine do have a better Graphics Engine - so it is not as though they have to go to the expense of getting that and the programmers!
And even if the gamers only went into it for up to 4 years - they would More than make their money back!
I think u r just trying to be otherwise!........LOL

I thought I had lost the first pair which were bronze. When I wanted to reorder only the purple was available, so I got them thinking if they were too wierd I would just wear them at home. Well, they are beautiful and I will not feel conspicuous wearing them out in public. BTW, after the 2nd pair came, I found the first under the seat in the car. Now I have two pair that are very comfortable. So many people comment about the delicate design on the bows, saying how nice they are. I like having the cloth case to keep them in. :)
I love the look of these I have a second order on for a different strength.
I wanted to love these, they are absolutely beautiful. But the design on the sides that makes them beautiful is also very distracting.
So I have to send them back :o(

National Accreditation
The Ohio Northern University Center for Teacher Education received full reaccreditation for its undergraduate teacher training programs for seven years through the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) in spring 2012.
In its report on ONU's Center for Teacher Education, NCATE stated that ONU has no areas for improvement relative to any of the required standards. These standards are candidate knowledge, skills and professional dispositions, assessment system and unit evaluation, field experiences and clinical practice, diversity, faculty qualifications, performance and development, and unit government and resources.
Sandra Calvert, director of the Center of Teacher Education at ONU, said, "This national reaccreditation is affirmation of the high standards the education faculty has for ONU's teacher preparation program and its students. We are honored to have our program recognized nationally with no areas for improvement. Schools and parents can be confident that our graduates have completed a program of excellence."
Ohio Northern University will address accreditation again in 2019 under the standards currently being proposed by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). CAEP promotes excellence in educator preparation through evidence-based accreditation that assures quality and supports continuous improvement to advance P-12 student learning. CAEP is the new sole accreditor for educator preparation for educator programs in the United States. To find out more about CAEP, visit caepnet.org/.
The Center for Teacher Education is currently accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. The U.S. Department of Education recognizes NCATE as a specialized accrediting body for schools, colleges, and departments of education. NCATE is composed of more than 30 professional and policymaker organizations representing millions of Americans committed to quality teaching. It was founded in 1954 by the teaching profession and the states. NCATE continues its mission today: the profession and states working together for excellence in teacher preparation and development.
