Arizona reform advocates hail immigration proposal
PHOENIX -- Elected Arizona officials who advocate for immigration reform are hailing a proposal by eight U.S. senators to overhaul the current system while questioning some of the proposal's provisions.
U.S. Rep. Ed Pastor (D-Phoenix) said Monday's proposal by Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake and four others was "very hopeful and encouraging."
But Pastor added, "I don't think we need to put conditions on different parts of the legislation. The pathway should be on its own and the securing of the border should not be related to that," he said.
The proposal seeks "Creating a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already here, contingent upon securing the border and better tracking of people here on visas," according to documents obtained by Associated Press.
U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva of Tucson said the principles of the proposal outs "the wind at the back" of those seeking comprehensive immigration reform. But he also is questioning the proposal's emphasis on securing the border and enforcement.
The Tucson Democrat said at a state Capitol press conference that the proposal gives only provisional visas to illegal immigrants until the border is deemed secure. He said border governors get too much power to determine when that is met.
Others called the proposal "a good day for America."
President Barack Obama releases his immigration reform proposal Tuesday.

It reads cool-toned when I wear it as a blush and as a lip color. As a blush color, it's rather light and spring-like. MAC Pink Tea is pinker. Bobbi Brown Nude Pink is similar but matte. NARS Gaiety is much bluer-toned. NYX English Rose is comparable. Make Up For Ever #4 is pinker, brighter.

Woman accused of doctor shopping to get hydrocodone
Affidavit: Jessica Olsen got 680 hydrocodone tablets by fraud
Jessica Olsen is facing criminal charges in a "doctor shopping" case in which state investigators allege that she visited 28 different doctors in order to obtain prescription drugs.
An arrest warrant affidavit stated that the 30-year-old visited all of the doctors within a two month period last year –from August to October—and obtained 28 prescriptions for hydrocodone.
The drug is a schedule II controlled substance, which means there is some monitoring of who gets it and how much is taken.
The affidavit stated that investigators with the Department of Public Safety interviewed the doctors who wrote the prescriptions for Olsen, and most of them were surprised to find out she was visiting other doctors.
Investigators said Olsen did not inform any of them that she was being treated elsewhere. During that two month period, Olsen filled prescriptions for about 680 tablets of hydrocodone, the affidavit stated.
Investigators said they found out some of the prescriptions were written just days apart, and some of them were overlapping, the affidavit stated.

In the middle of the Fall, 2005 term, Dr. Prabhakar Ragde handed out feedback forms to the students in his HtDP-based CS1 course. One wrote:
So far, I've found the course to be as described in the outlines: it is a course for those with no experience and those who do at the same time. As an experienced programmer (OOP with C++ & PHP), I've found this course requires a considerable amount of analysis of functions at a more fundamental level than the two preceding languages, and, consequently, has provided me with some insight as to 'why' and 'how' functions in more common languages work the way they do. Prior to this course, many things I took for granted concerning programming; that is no longer the case.
In response to a question about what advice the students would offer someone considering taking this course:
I would suggest that [this course] places emphasis on the logic behind programming rather than the idea of programming in general, and, particularly if he/she is majoring in CS, that the knowledge gained in [this course] is more helpful in the long run for future CS courses than [the first-term Java courses]. In fact, many students capable of attempting [the second-term CS 2 in Java course] ought to take [this course] instead for those very reasons; they may be able to program Java, but they may not fully grasp what is happening at a much simpler level within the language, which I believe [this course] helps students do.

School Vouchers Make a Great Recession-era Program
September 08, 2010
Marcus A. Winters
Barring a sudden economic U-turn, last years stimulus and this years additional $10 billion education bail-out will only delay painful state budget cuts. A huge portion of most state budgets go to public schools, making them an obvious place for cash-strapped legislatures to turn for savings.
Schools across the nation are already cutting services and teachers despite the influx of stimulus dollars, and in most cases kids are worse off for it. But Floridas experience over the last decade has shown that there is one budget area that schools can cut to both save money and improve educational services: students. These tight fiscal times provide just one more reason for state legislatures to embrace school choice.
Started under the governorship of Jeb Bush, Floridas Corporate Tax-Credit Scholarship Program has paid for students to attend secular and parochial private schools since 2001. As its name suggests, the program is funded by corporate donations for which companies receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit.
To be eligible for a voucher a student must come from a family with an income low enough to qualify for free- or reduced-price lunch. Last year, nearly 29,000 students across the state used a voucher from this program to attend a private school. That number is sure to increase now that the state legislature has significantly lifted the cap on the programs enrollment.
Most state legislatures arent in the mood to consider programs that siphon-off corporate tax revenues. But corporate tax-credit voucher programs reduce state public school expenditures by far more than they cut tax receipts.
Each voucher offered under Floridas tax-credit program is worth $3,950. In comparison, taxpayers pay a total of $11,077 to educate the average student in a Florida public school. The voucher is worth only 77 percent of what public schools spend on instructional services alone.
The cost savings from vouchers are quite real. According to the Floridas Office of Program Analysis and Government Accountabilitythe state equivalent to the federal Office of Management and Budgeteach dollar foregone in corporate tax revenues due to the program saves the state about $1.49 in public school expenditures. Overall, the program saved Floridas taxpayers an estimated $36.2 million during the 2008-09 school year.
Now that the cap has been raised, those savings will surely grow. Only about 2 percent of eligible students in the state used a voucher last year.
Unlike other cost-saving measures, voucher programs dont eliminate services or force citizens into unwanted new arrangements. Vouchers address the truly perverse arrangement whereby states force taxpayers to cough up multimillion dollar premiums in order to keep kids from low-income families enrolled in public schools that theyd rather not attend.
Whether or not food stamps make good policy, no current user of that program would choose to exit it. But there are many thousands (perhaps millions) of parents who yearn to send their child to a private school but cant afford the tuition.
Parents are under no obligation to take the voucher. They can continue to send their kids to the local public school if they wish.
For parents, its not important how much a school spends but how well it teaches their children. Many families opt to take the vouchers because they are fed up with ineffective, expensive public schools.
According to a recent evaluation of the program by Northwestern University economist David Figliowho, it should be noted, is one of the few researchers whose reputation is unchallenged by either side of the education policy debatestudents participating in Floridas tax-credit scholarship program are more likely to come from the states lowest performing public schools and tend to be among the lowest performers within their school.
Vouchers are one of the precious few policies that not only save money but also improve learning outcomes. According to Figlios study, students who use one of Floridas tax-credit vouchers do slightly better in math than their peers in public school.
In addition, consistent with other research, Figlio found that competition from the voucher program actually produced improvements in public schools. That is, Floridas tax-credit scholarship program has helped all of the states students, even those who opt not to use a voucher to attend a private school.
There is no avoiding the fact that most state budget cuts will leave citizens worse off than before. In public education, however, there are still major efficiencies to be found. Voucher programs both help kids and save money. In these tight fiscal times, vouchers dont just make good policy, they make good sense.

Rabbi Ethan Bair grew up in Boston where he was raised by spiritual seekers who rediscovered their Judaism through the Jewish Renewal movement. A graduate of Oberlin College and a former Fulbright scholar to Germany, Rabbi Bair was ordained at the Reform seminary, Hebrew Union College, Los Angeles, in 2011. He wrote his Rabbinic thesis on "Re-Envisioning Reform Jewish Prayer," with Dr. Rachel Adler. While in rabbinical school, he was a recipient of the prestigious Schusterman Rabbinical Fellowship, which brought together future Reform and Conservative rabbis to learn about volunteer engagement, strategic planning and synagogue management. Stemming from this experience, Rabbi Bair would describe himself as a member of a new generation of Jewish leaders for whom denominations are secondary to transformational Jewish experience. Over the last six years, he has served congregations in Ogden, Utah; Vancouver, British Columbia; Sun Valley, Idaho; and San Rafael, CA. Most recently, he worked at American Jewish World Service, a global Jewish non-profit working to realize human rights in the developing world. Before that, he served as Campus Rabbi at the University of Southern California Hillel. Rabbi Bair is committed to creating a participatory and authentic Jewish prayer culture; promoting inter-faith social justice work; and integrating Jewish studies with traditional Jewish sources into his repertoire of teaching. He enjoys running, hiking, singing, and welcoming Shabbat guests into his home with his wife, Nadya. She is a doctoral candidate in Art History, currently writing her dissertation.
Rabbi Emerita Myra Soifer served as Temple Sinai's rabbi for 25 years (from August 1984 through June 2009). Prior to coming to Reno, Rabbi Soifer served as the Assistant Rabbi at Temple Sinai in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was ordained in 1978, by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, Ohio. Rabbi Soifer's activities at Temple Sinai in Reno included services of worship and life cycle, teaching, home and hospital visits, community lectures, and private counseling. She is the author of numerous published articles on a variety of Jewish topics.
Retired on June 30, 2009, Rabbi Soifer retains the title "Rabbi Emerita. She has been granted life-time membership at our Temple.
Rabbi Soifer also came back to Sinai for nine months (September 2012 through June 2013) and provided full rabbinic services during our search for a permanent rabbi. She re-entered retirement on June 30, 2013.

The smile of the cat first lights up white, then the eyes green, followed by the body lighting up blue starting at the tail and moving up to the ears.
Step 1: Materials and Tools
- X-Acto knife
- Paring knife
- Various small drill bits
- Soldering Iron
- Large pin
- Pumpkin (I hope you picked this one out on your own)
- newspaper (for putting under the pumpkin while carving)
- heavy paper (card stock)
- LEDs
- solder
- wire
- Arduino
- scotch tape
- 1 paper clip
Step 2: Build the LED frame
Next, Take a thick sheet of paper (I used 65 lb paper) and cut a shape out that will cover all of the openings in the cat pattern, but is not too close to the edge of the design (See a comparison in the second picture). Then cut a strip of thick paper about 5cm wide and attach it around the edge of the shape you just cut out.
When the edge is finished flip it over so you can see the inside.
The inside of the frame needs baffles to stop (most) of the light from bleeding between the sections. To achieve this, cut a slightly thinner strip of paper and tape or hot glue it to give definition around the tail, mouth and eyes as seen in the third and fourth pictures below.
To secure it to the pumpkin, take the paper clip (or a thumb tack) and a small strip of paper and attach them to the frame as seen in the last picture below. This allows the frame to stick to the pumpkin carving.
The final step is to coat anything that will touch the pumpkin in scotch tape, so it won't get soggy and tear half way through the night.

Take-Out Dinner for 6 in Pasadena -- Recommendations?
DH has asked for help in arranging food and drink for a small party of 6-7 people from church. I was thinking of getting some middle eastern food: chicken/beef kabobs, rice, hummus, tabouli, etc. Based on reading CH posts, it looks like Good Times Pita on Arroyo Blvd. might be a good choice. Alternatively, I was thinking of getting the "fajita party pack" from Baja Fresh. The food does not have to be dinner food, but the party will be held at 7 p.m., which is most people's dinnertime.
Any recommendations?
re: WildSwede
The only item I've been happy with once I've gotten home is falafel, but then again, falafel from anywhere doesn't heat well, but you could get their salads, hummous, baba ganous etc and everyone would be happy.
I've had the kabobs (beef, lamb, and luleh) from Good Times, always to go, and it always tasted great when I got it home. I think it's good, basic middle eastern food. They are very nice there and the meat has been tender and flavorful. I think the kabobs there are better than at Wahibs.
For middle eastern food in Pasadena, there is always Zankou chicken on Colorado Blvd.
The tarna (chicken) plate is particularly good. But they also have kebob and falafel.
A more expansive menu is available at The Middle Eastern Restaurant in Alhambra
(on Main st.). Don't think this is the same as Wahib's (another's post).
Pita! Pita!, also on Colorado (near Lake) in Pasadena, is purdee good and has a fairly
extensive menu.

Many integrative medicine modalities are equally beneficial for our pets, you may be pleased to learn, and especially so with Reiki. Perhaps you've heard of Reiki, or even experienced it. Reiki is the most medically documented and scientifically studied of the holistic healing modalities. Reiki helps the body return to its natural state of balance and therefore is better able to heal on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. In addition to the Reiki Circle for people that we offer at New Moon Haven every third Tuesday of the month, we are now offering a Reiki Circle for animals the first Friday of every month. Our next circle will be held on Friday, October 5. (and yes, people may receive as well, on their own or with their pets). Judy Ferrig, who works with animals professionally, and Marie Starjnski, both Reiki Masters, will lead this event.
Use of Reiki on animals will work on health issues, injuries, and will restore balance, as well as calming emotional fears, phobias, anxiety and aggressions that lead to behavior issues. And we invite you to receive Reiki yourself…your pets will be glad you did. You may both receive at the same time or separately as you choose. We ask for a donation of $5.00 per being. *This month's proceeds will be given to Hope Animal Shelter where Judy has worked for more than five years helping to socialize abused and abandoned animals.
And we invite Reiki practitioners to join us in giving healing energy to pets and their people. This will be a wonderful opportunity to practice your Reiki with both animals and people. Never worked on an animal before?…no worries, we'll give you helpful tips.
No pre-registration required. For more information, please contact Judy Ferrig, M.S., at 520-245-4214 email@example.com OpenPathways-EnergyandCommunication.com or Marie Starjnski firstname.lastname@example.com www.NewMoonHaven.com

Yonkers: Rocklamation tops opening leg winners of Bluechip Matchmaker
The Blue Chip Matchmaker Series for the leading pacing mares in North America began Friday night with five $40,000 divisions at Yonkers Raceway.
Defending champion Rocklamation picked up where she left off a year ago scoring a very safe 1:56 3/5 victory over last year's final runner-up Anndrovette. Yannick Gingras guided the five-year-old daughter of the late Rocknroll Hanover to the front shortly after the start and was never threatened winning as the 1-5 favorite. Anndrovette, last year's Breeders Crown champion, moved into the pocket early but couldn't muster a closing kick into a brisk :27 3/5 final quarter and settled for second.

Gingras and trainer Ron Burke enjoyed a Blue Chip Matchmaker double with the most impressive Camille effortlessly winning in 1:54 3/5. The five-year-old by Camluck was making just her first start of the season but looked very strong. Gingras allowed her to take a brief tuck going to the quarter but quickly moved to gain control into the second turn and from there it was lights out. Stablemate Ginger And Fred rallied for the place.
Krispy Apple showed that last week's impressive 1:53 victory in her five-year-old debut was no fluke. Actually the Western Ideal-sired mare was even better this time. The 6-5 favorite Royal Cee Cee N and driver George Brennan were able to crawl to the half in a tepid :58 seconds while Krispy Apple and driver Matt Kakaley waited in fifth. Past the halfway point Kakaley started his move but Brennan hit the accelerator and sprinted a third quarter in :28 seconds keeping most of the challengers at bay. On the final turn, Krispy Apple kicked it into high gear and virtually measured off the favorite late scoring in 1:54 2/5.
Feeling You, a 4-5 offering, captured her leg for driver Tyler Buter. The much-improved six-year-old worked out a pocket trip and then needed to angle out at head-stretch. The daughter of Cambest set her sights on Handsoffmycookie and rolled by that rival in the late stages. The former put in an excellent first offering for 2013 blowing by pacesetter Rock N Soul on the final turn then just shortening stride late in the 1:54 2/5 mile.
Ramona Disomma made every call a winning one for driver Dan Dube capturing the final of the five divisions. The veteran mare is moving ever closer to the $1 million mark in career earnings. The victory put her career bank account at $958,325.
The Blue Chip Matchmaker continues with second round action slated for Friday, March 29.

Chicken First Aid Kits
Sometimes in chicken-keeping, things happen that no one expects. It could be a sudden disease, a squabble between birds causing injuries, or even a predator attack that leaves your birds wounded and weak. For your birds, having certain supplies on hand could make the difference between a recovery and a loss.
The list that I have compiled below is as extensive as I could make it, and you may find that many of the items you won't ever need. I do suggest that anyone keeping chickens, whether as livestock or as pets, keep at least the supplies for emergencies on hand where they can find them.
As a disclaimer, I'd like to note that I am not a veterinarian, nor am I involved in any way in the medical field. Both of my parents are in the (human) medical field and I have followed their advice for some of the supplies I've picked for my own chicken first aid kit and some of the information I have added to this page. Much more of the information below is from some in-depth research around BYC.
If you need immediate help, try typing in your birds' symptoms in the search bar or making a thread at the Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures board!
Protecting Yourself and Your Patient
Vinyl or Latex Gloves
Gloves can protect your bird from anything on your hands, and prevent you from getting anything on your hands that you might carry out to healthy birds. For the queasy, having a protective layer on may help as you work in an emergency, and it makes cleaning up afterwards a little easier.
Protective Eyewear and Mask
If you are performing a procedure (such as a bumblefoot surgery), having protective gear for your face can be valuable to prevent anything from getting on your face. It will also prevent you from breathing anything into your bird's wounds.
Rubbing Alcohol
When performing any sort of surgery, it is important to clean the area on the bird first. Rubbing alcohol is an effective way to clean and disinfect the skin, but should not be used near the bird's eyes. Rubbing alcohol can also be used to disinfect minor cuts and scrapes, but should not be used for deep wounds.
Aspirin is used to alleviate pain. Avoid using aspirin if the bird is bleeding, as aspirin causes the blood to thin and can make bleeding worse.
This chart from Chicken Health for Dummies explains more clearly how to prepare and administer an Aspirin solution:
For Emergencies
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is useful for cleaning wounds. Dilute it in a solution of equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water before applying. Rinse the wound out after the solution has done its work. Many posts around BYC say that hydrogen peroxide slows healing because it also kills healthy cells, so it is recommended that you only use it for the initial cleaning of a wound.
Chlorhexidine Solution
Chlorhexidine solution is a wound cleaner that does not kill healthy flesh as Hydrogen Peroxide allegedly does. This can be used in the initial cleaning of a wound instead of hydrogen peroxide or used in any following cleanings after the use of hydrogen peroxide.
Triple Antibiotic Ointment (Neosporin)
Triple antibiotic ointment is used to prevent infection and promote healing in wounds. There are many posts on BYC that state that you should not use the ointment that has pain relief. However, other posts say that as long as the pain reliever in the ointment is NOT a "caine" type (like benzocaine or lidocaine), it is okay for use in chickens. I purchased the kind without pain reliever for my first aid kit, just to be safe. Triple antibiotic ointment should be applied to a wound after it has been cleaned.
Non-Stick Pads, Gauze, Waterproof Tape, Self-Adhering First Aid Wrap
These products are all to cover and protect wounds, especially if the bird will be going back outside after treatment. Large non-stick pads are very convenient in case of large wounds, and can be cut to size for smaller injuries. Gauze holds the pad in place and waterproof tape prevents water from getting in. The self-adhering first aid wrap can be used to cover the bandage if the bird or other birds are picking at them. If the wound is on a foot, cover it with duct tape instead of first aid wrap to prevent dirt and droppings from sticking and to add another layer of waterproofing.
Lubricating Jelly (K-Y Jelly) and Hemorrhoid Cream (Preparation H)
These two supplies are in case of a prolapse. The area should be cleaned with mild soapy water before beginning. Hemorrhoid cream eases swelling and hopefully makes the bird more comfortable. Lubricating jelly allows the prolapsed tissue to be gently pushed back in.
Diphenhydramine Allergy Liquid for Children (Benadryl)
Diphenhydramine liquid can be used if a hen has been bitten or stung by something nasty. Treatment is 1 mL of liquid for an adult bird. (I have read about Benadryl tablets being used as well, but I cannot find a dosage for it.)
Amprolium (Corid) or Sulfamethazine Sodium (Sulmet)
Corid and Sulmet are both treatments for coccidiosis in young chickens. Typically, coccidiosis does not affect adult birds, and so you should only need these on hand if you are planning on adding new chicks to your flock. Chicks with coccidiosis will be lethargic and spend much of their time standing with their feathers fluffed out. Typically (but not always) there will be loose, bloody stools passed by the birds who have coccidiosis.
Amprolium is recommended more because Sulfamethazine Sodium can be harsher on the guts of affected birds and extend the period of bleeding. Corid (a common Amprolium brand name) usually comes in a 20% soluble powder or a 9.6% liquid. For the POWDER, dose 3/4 teaspoons per gallon of water for at least 5 days; 1 1/2 teaspoons per gallon for 5 days is recommended for severe outbreaks. For the LIQUID, dose 1 teaspoon per gallon of water for 5-7 days; in the case of severe outbreaks, use 2 teaspoons per gallon for the same length of time. Change the water daily for both!
Sulmet (a common Sulfamethazine Sodium brand name) can be used if Corid is unavailable where you live or if Corid has failed to help your birds. The dosage for Sulmet liquid is 2 tablespoons per gallon for two days, then 1 tablespoon per gallon for an additional 4 days. Also change the water daily for Sulmet!
If any of your birds are laying eggs while being treated with Corid or Sulmet, it is recommended that eggs are thrown out for at least 10 days after the FINAL dose.
Vitamins & Electrolytes (Sav-A-Chick)
Vitamins and electrolytes give birds a boost in extreme heat and can help them if they're in shock from a predator attack. Sav-A-Chick is at many feed stores and comes in pre-dosed packets—one packet per gallon of water. There are also pouches of Durvet Vitamins & Electrolytes sold at feed stores for use in any livestock. The dosage I use of Durvet Vitamins & Electrolytes for my chickens is 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water.
Petroleum Jelly or Coconut Oil
Petroleum jelly has a few uses, including suffocating scaly leg mites and protecting combs and wattles from frostbite. Coconut oil can be used in the same way and is regarded as a more natural alternative. In either case, when applying for leg mites, use a thick coat, but when applying for frostbite prevention, only use a thin layer! I have heard that coconut oil is also good for healing wounds or slowing damage from already established frostbite as an alternative to antibiotic ointment, so I decided to put it in the emergency section.
Handy to Have Around
Blu-Kote is an antiseptic wound spray that is blue or purple in color to disguise wounds from the other birds. It can be used on minor wounds and bare or bleeding patches from feather-picking to prevent further pecking of the injury. BE CAREFUL when applying Blu-Kote—it permanently stains clothing and takes a lot of scrubbing to get off of skin!! It appears using Purell hand sanitizer makes Blu-Kote come off skin easier, but still be careful about getting it on clothing!
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
ACV is a worm preventative, reduces slime buildup in waterers, and has many healthy benefits to birds. It is typically recommended that you buy the unfiltered kind with the 'mother' still in it. Store-bought, filtered ACV will have no ill effects on your birds, but may not have as many benefits as the unfiltered kind. Dosage is usually between 1 and 3 tablespoons per gallon of water.
NEVER, EVER, EVER use ACV in galvanized waterers! The acidity causes corrosion of the metal, which can lead to zinc poisoning in your birds.
Various Syringes
Syringes can be used for administering medicines or forcing a bird to drink. They are also handy if you need to tube-feed a bird that is refusing to eat. I keep syringes from 10 mL up to 60 mL catheter tips for dosing medicines and wormers, and force-feeding or watering birds. Consider keeping syringes and needles for administering medicine via shot as well.
Cotton Swabs (Q-Tips)
Cotton swabs allow you to apply ointments and clean wounds with relative ease. It's a good idea to keep some with your first aid kit to be safe.
Pet Nail Trimmers and Nail File
These are good for clipping overgrown beaks and nails, and filing them down to prevent them from snagging on things or breaking. While they may not be needed often in a free-ranging flock, they are good to have at hand in case you really do need them. I recommend the scissor-like trimmers over the guillotine-like kind for better control and visibility of what you're working with.
Scalpels, Tweezers, Small Needle and Thread or Super Glue
Scalpels and tweezers are handy in case you need to perform some sort of surgery on one of your birds. Be sure to sanitize before beginning, and clean thoroughly after the surgery is finished! The needle and thread allow you to apply stitches to the opening to help it heal. Fishing line works well as the thread, but remember to sanitize it before using it! Super glue can also be used to close a wound if the skin is dry.
A small flashlight will help you find and clearly see the wound that you're treating. A bright desk lamp can be used in exchange during treatments that require the use of both hands.
Scissors are all-around useful to keep where you can find them easily. Use them to cut gauze or tape, remove old bandages, clip poopy feathers out of a hen's vent, or even clip wings to prevent flighty hens from flying over fences. Wash after every use!
A scale allows you to keep a close eye on a bird's weight to make sure it is at an appropriate level. If you're force-feeding or tube-feeding a bird, this can let you know if you're giving the bird enough to eat or not.
Flour or Blood-Stop Powder
Flour and blood-stop powder, as you may have guessed, help to stop bleeding in minor wounds. Use if you have accidentally cut a bird's toenail too short or if they have minor bleeding such as with broken nails, blood feathers, and small cuts or scratches on their combs. Sprinkle the wound with a little flour or powder and apply pressure until the bleeding stops. These are not to be used on deep wounds, so I am putting them in the 'Handy to Have Around' section.
Zipper Baggies or Small Jars and a Permanent Marker
Zipper baggies of assorted sizes and small jars like baby food jars can allow you to store medicines and powders in a resealable container. Use the marker to clearly label what is in each bag or jar, and don't forget to add the date it was opened!
Additional Advice
In order to keep all of this stuff together, you can store it in a tote, a toolbox, or really any sort of container that's big enough to hold it all. I use a toolbox with the tray removed, clearly labeled so that I or anyone else can always identify it.
Another good idea given to me by my parents was the expiration date list:
With a quick glance, I can see what is going out of date the soonest and if something is already out of date. To save space, you can just write the item that is going to go out of date soonest.
My water-soluble powder medicines and supplements are stored in the freezer. This extends the expiration date a little and adds some peace of mind to using medicines that have been open for a while. An additional tip—I keep them in separate resealable baggies with dosages written on the baggies.

Freedom Like a Shopping CartSunday, February 18th, 2007
While in college I became a huge fan of the Linux operating system due to the unrestricted freedom it granted me when using it in place of the Windows software I had grown up with. If I wanted to try my hand at a new programming language or play with a new technology, Linux let me me do this with professional grade tools for no cost. This led to an initial period of Linux zealotry, as I tried to convince the masses of my discovery and how it was infinitely superior to anything I had ever used. As I grew older though, my perceptions matured and I began to see Linux through the perspectives of several other groups involved in its creation.
The first perspective I noticed was the "Free as in Cost Group". This group endorses Linux because it is a way of circumventing the Microsoft tax, which in many cases would put computing out of their reach financially. If I'm setting up a computer lab or cafe in the third world trying to connect locals to the internet for the first time, in an environment where resources are scarce - my options are to pirate copies of Windows (probably an older version too, if I'm having to cobble together whatever machines I can find and performance is going to be an issue) or to run a free operating system. Linux allows me top notch security, a basic office setup, compilers for anything imaginable and web browsers to get onto the internet, and best of all it costs nothing. I will never have to pay anyone a dime to get my operation running, so this makes it incredibly appealing to me.
The perspective group I belonged to I'll call the "Superior Product Group". I switched to Linux because it gave me freedom of choice and was infinitely more stable and secure than the software it replaced. The title of this post is a quote from one of my favorite bands - NOFX, this perspective of Linux favors "Freedom like a shopping cart" - I can do whatever I want with my machine and the software it contains. The only limiting factors are how fast my machine will run and how deep my knowledge is of the tasks I'd like my computer to do. Everything I could ever want in a computing platform is available to me, and if it's not - the documentation for me to write my own fixes is available.
Finally there is the group I'll call the "Patrick Henry Group" who is very vocal about his famous quote "Give me liberty, or give me death." This camp is led by Richard Stallman, head of the Free Software Foundation of FSF, who launched the GNU project back in the 80s and is responsible for emacs and the whole GNU toolchain. Stallman and the FSF's main prerogative is the abolition of proprietary software, they believe that all software should be free of cost, with the accompanying source code open as well, so that whomever receives it is free to change it and redistribute it - provided they do so under the terms that they received the software originally. The license to do this is called the GNU Public License, or GPL for short.
This last group is one lately I've found myself at odds with due to their actions to try and bring my favorite distribution of Linux (Ubuntu) completely under their politics. To start with, the biggest issue I have with widespread acceptance of GPL as the dominant way software is published on Earth, is that it will impoverish me. Before I went to engineering school and learned about calculus, physics and computer science, I worked bad minimum wage jobs ranging from getting yelled at all day by angry customers in a video store to my three year tenure scrubbing toilets as a janitor. As a computer programmer by profession, I pay my bills, keep myself fed and a roof over my head due to my ability to write software. The only thing keeping me from living off a couch in my parents' basement (assuming they'd let me) or flipping burgers to make ends meet is writing proprietary software for customers willing to pay for it. If the profession of Computer Programmer becomes obsolete due to all software being freely created by volunteers, I will be forced to return to jobs similar to the ones I previously held - because I certainly will not have the resources to retrain into another discipline I can make a living at. One common counterclaim to this argument is that a system of bounties will allow programmers to stay employed, where people with deep pockets will offer cash for programmers to work on problems they want solved. I find this ridiculous due to the current realities of this on the internet, bounties are few and far between - and the time investment involved in completing them far outweighs any financial gain. No company is ever going to support this model, because whatever competitive advantage via software they hire people to write them for that company's domain specific need will immediately fall into the hands of their competitors for free. There is no sustainability in this model, and it is nothing better than pie-in-the-sky, idealistic thinking.
Getting back to the issue I began to address, my Linux distribution of choice - Ubuntu, one which I have been using since its initial 4.10 release, is under increasing pressure by the Patrick Henry group. This group wants to remove from the distribution any code that is not 100% free by their standards, which includes but is not limited to: device drivers distributed in binary form, and media codecs. The alternative to these "not entirely, but mostly free" software packages are ones penned by the free software community that are not as good in terms of performance, features or stability. In my mind this is completely unacceptable.
I happen to have an NVidia graphics card in my Linux workstation (albeit an old, weak 440MX) that I use in conjunction with the official NVidia binary drivers to get acceptable 3d performance in visualizing 3d data and running dual displays. The FSF replacement for which is not complete, and not up to par with features and performance. Buying a new video card right now is not an option, because money is tight - I picked Linux for freedom of choice, and now a 3rd party is telling me how I can use my computer in accordance with their politically imposed restrictions. In my mind, this isn't much different than Microsoft, except that I'm getting my prison shackles for free instead of paying for them. Similar issues are numerous right now with wireless card drivers, although thankfully this is not a problem for me as my connection is hardwired. The solution in this case is to not use wireless connectivity? Again, completely unacceptable.
The other main fire-fight with this group occurs over the usage of 'closed' media codecs. Due to licensing, some media formats are not supported by default in Ubuntu and only "semi-free" packages are capable of playing files encoded with them. If I'm a user migrating from Windows to Linux as I did back in 2003, and I suddenly find out that the hundreds of dollars of music in ITunes I've purchased are no longer playable on my machine because of somebody else's political views regarding ideal codecs, the migration ends before it begins. I'm not going to give up my music and the money I invested in it because its encoding is not politically kosher.
In closing, I am fine with come of these semi-free, non-FSF packages not being installed by default, with their free equivalents being installed in their place to promote the ideals of free software. I am only ok with this, because I still have the option right after a clean install to get rid of all of them and install packages that provide better performance and features as the first order of business. One of the common selling points of Linux to try and convert a Microsoft user is that "it just works". No viruses, no spyware, or any of the other common problems associated with running Windows. If you check the Launchpad site for Ubuntu, the #1 bug is that Microsoft has a majority market share. In order to undo this, a large majority of the people we need to convert are regular everyday users who just need to get work done. They don't program, and could care less that the source is open or GPL'd. If they test drive Ubuntu, and nothing works right out of the gate because of politics - the lifespan of Linux on that computer is only as long as the time until reboot, because there's no way in hell it's getting moved to the hard drive for even a dual-boot, let alone a Windows replacement. The point of this article is not that I hate free and open software, or that I'm waving a flag for proprietary - it's that I've realized what's most important to me at the end of the day is the freedom to choose. I'm fairly sure that I'm not alone either.

Research shines dangerous truth on ultraviolet light exposure and vitamin D Our bodies need vitamin D to build and maintain strong, healthy bodies. Without vitamin D, the body cannot use calcium and phosphorus, two minerals that are necessary for healthy bones.1
The American Academy of Dermatology (Academy) does not recommend getting vitamin D from sun exposure (natural) or indoor tanning (artificial) because ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and tanning beds can lead to the development of skin cancer.
Getting vitamin D from a healthy diet, which includes naturally enriched vitamin D foods, fortified foods and beverages, and/or vitamin supplements, and practicing sun protection offer a healthier and safer alternative. Still skeptical? Consider these scientific facts:
Based on currently available scientific evidence that supports a key role of calcium and vitamin D in skeletal health, the IOM Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin D is:
The RDA is intake that covers needs of 97.5 percent of the healthy normal population.
Because the amount of vitamin D a person receives from the sun is inconsistent and increases the risk of skin cancer, the IOM's RDA was developed based on a person receiving minimal or no sun exposure.
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that anyone concerned about getting enough vitamin D should discuss with his or her doctor the options for obtaining sufficient vitamin D from foods and/or vitamin supplements.

Your independence is an illusion, it's easy to oppose obvious conformity and to rebel to feel self-satisfied, but it's tough to realize that there are more basic, subtler values implanted in us which we follow.
As CAKE puts it:
"Excess ain't rebellion / You're drinking what they're selling"

Re: Broner - Justified hype or way overboard?

Bit of both. He being hyped because they see him as the heir to the HBO throne. In ways, the hype is very similar to that of when Floyd Mayweather was a lot younger. There are lots of similarities. Floyd had far more "haters" (I hate that term) when he was younger, always trying to downplay his victories and suppress them. Before a fight it would be:
"He is gonna lose, opponent x, y, and z will smash him in this fight, trust me"
Then after Mayweather schooled his opponent, easy work, it would be:
"Mayweather is still ****, his opponent rolled over"
But it dont matter to the fighter, as long as they keep doing the business. The more time went on, the more people started saying the inevitable (that they could have said years and years ago instead of being in denial) but more and more people started to respect this mans ability. Especially when they saw the likes of Pacquiao losing fights, and Mayweather dominating that same opposition.
Boxing is all about levels and Floyd Mayweather is clearly on out-of-this world level with the current crop. There is a gap between him and the other fighters around today. Its almost embarrassing.
Can Broner achieve similar? I would say yes because he has the same support behind him with the money team. They wont see him or let him lose. Losing does not exist.
Do I think he can be better than Mayweather? I don't think so. Whilst Broner is a bit more offensive, he leaves gaps. While that may improve with experience, I dont think he will ever be on Mayweathers level. I've seen Mayweather achieve perfect in a fight, leaving no gaps, or making any mistakes, the only gaps he leaves are traps for him to lure the fighter in, and counter. Sure, Mayweather has declined a little with age (Cotto fight) and makes a few more mistakes, but lets be honest, he is so far ahead of the field, he would have to decline by 50% to even be challenged.
I don't think Broner could decline by 50% and get out with the W every single time.
People say Broner's footwork is terrible, but to be honest, Mayweather was never a smooth operator on the feet. They dont play tap dance, they walk you down, stiff legs and planted feet, to generate maximum power from counters. They dont fight that style, because they are not that type of fighter. So I doubt Broners "poor" footwork will be such a problem. Its just how they fight. Boxing is all about styles, and this style is effective at ELITE level, and if aint broke, why fix it?
It aint like it gets them in massive danger every fight either. They are just as comfortable on the back foot. They cruise fights in 1st gear.
Lets be honest, would you rather have terrible punch resistance, or average footwork?
Agreed but about the footwork, Mayweather moved around on his feet loads at the lower weights in his younger days wit hgreat effect, he was also much more aggressive and knocked plenty of good fighters out, he didn't fight anything like he does now, Floyds current style is a manifestation of a great career and a fighter becoming one with himself, Broner tries to emulate that style, but he has neither the talent nor the experience to pull it off at the elite level.
It's why a fighter should try to be his own man in the ring and maximise his strengths instead of trying to copy an idols style point for point

I Left My Heart at Philadelphia Airport Security
For reasons I will go into this week on Confessions, I made a 24-hour trip to Philadelphia Saturday night. It was so fast, so there-and-back, I didn't even have time to remember why I was there, let alone tell you guys I was gone. And before I knew it, I was back home.
Because of the nature of my rushing around, when I arrived—nearly too late for my flight—at the airport on the way home on Sunday, I didn't even think to look inside my tote bag, which typically only holds my laptop, my Book of Common Prayer, my Maybelline Color Sensation lipstick in Totally Toffee, and my Wired magazine (more on this later; my gosh, am I obsessed), but into which, I'd completely forgotten, I had stuffed a handful of essential toiletries I'd needed earlier in the morning. By the time I arrived at airport security, my suitcase had been check and was well on its way to the plane.
At the security checkpoint, I watched in horror as the following items were confiscated—thrown mercilessly into a large metal trash can without regard for my skin, my hair, my teeth, and my psyche.
I recognize this is all about keeping our country safe. I also fully recognize that I have no one but myself to blame.
I also recognize I'm still mourning.
Cry with me…will you?
This eye makeup remover, and it was brand new. I'd used about five applications. It's my most precious cosmetic commodity, and it's gone. Gone. GONE!
This hair spray, and it was half full. I'd picked it up when I was in Washington a couple of weeks ago and had fallen in love with it. And now it's been ripped from me.
This hand cream. It was about two weeks old, which means it was pretty much brand new since the stuff is ultra concentrated. And now it's in a landfill in Pennsylvania.
I can't really talk about this one, except to say that it was brand new, and I won't be getting another one any time soon. It's not one of those products you lose and say, "Oh well! I'll just go get another one!" It's one of those products that's already hard to buy, because even though it lasts a long time, it's ridiculously pricey. So I'm off to buy some Clean & Clear and call it a day.
And this. And okay, it wasn't that grave a loss in the grand scheme of things.
But it still really hurt.
Disclaimer: Neither Clinique, La Mer, Aveda, Phyto, nor Crest paid me to accidentally throw their products into my carry-on bag, forget to pack them in my suitcase, and have them confiscated at Philadelphia airport security. Neither Clinique, La Mer, Aveda, Phyto, or Crest has any idea who I am. Amen, and over and out.

You should travel back to GA!

Oh, I'd be heartbroken, too. But how did you get to bring all of that stuff to PA in the first place?
Molly M. On Monday, May 24 at 1:49 pm
p.s. Europeans are worse. wait.. french are worse. they will search your bag and throw everything away if you even look like an america.
marlene On Monday, May 24 at 1:50 pm
thats horrible
Aimee @ In THIS Life On Monday, May 24 at 1:50 pm
Gosh, and to think, half the time I forget to take my liquids out of my bag, and they don't say anything. I thought they'd all gotten lax. Apparently not.
Leslie Sivadge On Monday, May 24 at 1:51 pm
Okay this is only to make you feel better – or I would never share this story. Traveling with 3 girlfriends in the airport, I told them I would get pulled aside. I always do. I must look mischevious. The girls waited behind me as the college-aged boy behind the conveyor belt dumped out my bag and they made editorial comments like, "Wow Les! Your boobs must be bigger than I thought!" and "You security guard blushed furiously. Well, I did too. Thank God for girlfriends, huh?

Philly is horrible for that! I hate having to fly in and out of there and it's the closest airport to me. Everyone is so grumpy too!
Jessica @ How Sweet On Monday, May 24 at 1:52 pm
They took your La Mer?!?!!? OH THE HORROR! If someone confiscated that from me, I would lose my mind.
Kathy G from Tennessee On Monday, May 24 at 1:52 pm
Ree, my sympathies to you on the loss of your essentials. I used that Clinique eye makeup remover solvent for years. About a year ago, I was out and not due for a trip to the mall for a while. Wal-Mart carried something very similar by Loreal and low and behold, their store brand, too. I tried the store brand (Equate) and truly, I cannot tell the difference. (This is not a paid commercial.)
Jenny G On Monday, May 24 at 1:53 pm
Oh my.
Where do all those products really go?
Sydney On Monday, May 24 at 1:54 pm
Ouch! Although I have never had such a great treasure trove that has been ripped away from me.

Lindie On Monday, May 24 at 1:55 pm
Once when I was on my way to England, via Chicago, they found I had pepper spray in my purse! I never give it a thought since it's a mini and attached to my keychain! Hey, it was less than 3 oz! But I'd hate losing what you lost! Useful stuff and mine had never been used!
kathy On Monday, May 24 at 1:55 pm
I am Crying with you. I use a lot of those products also, even the Crest…The La Mer would have been the final straw…Torture!
MaryAnn On Monday, May 24 at 1:55 pm
So sorry for your losses! I went to HI with a red-haired friend a few years ago. She had never flown before & I neglected to really educate her. We both watched in horror as all of her sunscreen went in the airport trash. Our first mission in HI – shopping for sunscreen!
Randi Massett On Monday, May 24 at 1:56 pm
You poor thing! I hate airport security!! They pulled me aside and frisked me for 10 minutes when I was 6 months pregnant and then had the audacity to tell me I was too late to get on my flight!! Needless to say, hormones made a meltdown happen. A few curse words lead to crying and I got my way and got on the plane. Jerks.
Erica Hettwer On Monday, May 24 at 1:57 pm
Too bad you didn't have time to mail them to yourself. I brought some little scissors and was heartbroken to almost have to toss them. There was a nearby kiosk where you could buy an envelope/package and mail your goodies back to your house.
Dianne On Monday, May 24 at 1:57 pm
Oh, Ree. I have SOOOO been there and done that. More than once sadly. You'd think I would remember…only so many ounces and in a zip lock bag. And the worst part is you "have to keep your mouth shut" practically or they think you're a "troublemaker" and look at you suspiciously. Hmmmm….
Amelia On Monday, May 24 at 1:57 pm
Airport security took my mini-swiss army knife that was on my keychain. It had a pen. And a light. And the knife was only long enough to slice open bananas. I am still sad about its loss. But that's nothing compared to the La Mer.
brainella On Monday, May 24 at 1:57 pm
Don't kid yourself. All that stuff is now in some TSA worker's purse! Especially the Aveda!

Trailboss from Kentucky On Monday, May 24 at 2:00 pm
Why in the world would they toss these items? I swear, this world is getting more crazy by the minute.
The Coupon Goddess On Monday, May 24 at 2:00 pm
Why didn't they tell you about the little mailers that you can throw your stuff into and send home? All airports have them! Yeah they are expensive, but for $19.99 you would have had your good stuff sent home to you
k On Monday, May 24 at 2:00 pm
Don't believe it's in a landfill in Pennsylvania. Some TSA agent's wife is having a field day with it all.

Ditto what #17 said. Someone's enjoying your La Mer! I really dislike that rule…
Amanda On Monday, May 24 at 2:02 pm
The Philly airport made me cry, too. They yelled at me to STAND ON THE FOOTPRINTS!!!!!!! I cried and told them I just wanted to go home, I wasn't a terrorist. They still made me stand on those darn footprints while they searched my bags.
jude On Monday, May 24 at 2:02 pm

lara13 On Monday, May 24 at 2:03 pm
Maybe you were in a hurry so this wouldn't have helped, but I know a lot of airports have MAIL packet thingies you can use to mail your "oops I forgot that was in there" stuff home in. You have to be willing to step out of security (since they are usually located right BEFORE security) and start that process over. But for La Mer, I am guessing it would have been worth it. I am so sorry though. It is sucky when you forget something was in the bottom of your bag, and the security person is the one who so cruelly reminds you…
joyce On Monday, May 24 at 2:03 pm
Yeah – they divide that stuff up every night! Just think how you've enriched someone else's life. What do they do with the confiscated stuff anyway, at some point it is no longer under scrutiny by airport security?
Madeline St Onge On Monday, May 24 at 2:04 pm
That is heart breaking Ree. I swear I will never get on a plane again
The Wendy City On Monday, May 24 at 2:04 pm
I am so sorry! Losing anything La Mer would make my chest feel like it is about to explode! And I love love love the Phyto line – they make my hair (and me) so happy.
Carrie On Monday, May 24 at 2:04 pm
Ugh! just looking at that LaMer is killing me too! I feel your pain P-dub. I am in Philly, want me to go trash pickin for yah? lol!
The Nifty Foodie On Monday, May 24 at 2:05 pm
I wonder if those security guards went shopping in the trash can after their shift. That's quite an impressive confiscation!
Nichole On Monday, May 24 at 2:06 pm
was it the new Wired with Buzz and Woody on the cover….ours arrived this weekend I'm grieving with you on the loss of fabulous product.
Jessica On Monday, May 24 at 2:06 pm
Mona On Monday, May 24 at 2:07 pm
I hate it when you don't tell us where you're going! lol. I just happened to have a few minutes to watch QVC and saw that you were coming up but my husband was tearing me away to go to the gym. I said "but my lady is coming on!" He didn't care and I had to leave. Tell us as soon as you know when you're going to be on again, please, because we want to see you!! Girly, you are on fire out here in Calif, you're all the rage and we all love you!!
Stacie On Monday, May 24 at 2:07 pm
Oh nooooo!!!! I threw a fit when my face lotion was almost tossed, and it was just some crappy Neutrogena! (it must have been a good fit because they let me keep it…)
Shanna On Monday, May 24 at 2:08 pm
On my way back from LA, I once saw a woman in tears as all of her very expensive makeup and toiletries were confiscated. Like you, she had already checked her baggage and was left with no choice. I almost cried with her imagining how I would feel if my beloved skin and haircare items were mercilessly taken from me.
Lisa Summerhays On Monday, May 24 at 2:08 pm
So sad. I'd be heart brocken too.
pip On Monday, May 24 at 2:08 pm
You were great on QVC. David is my favorite host.
winnie On Monday, May 24 at 2:08 pm
I audibly gasped when I was reading this post and got to the La Mer face wash! *sigh* I'm so very sorry for your loss. Maybe you should eat more of those salted caramel brownies to lessen the pain. I would.
Lisa Summerhays On Monday, May 24 at 2:09 pm
and I can't type with one hand while feeding my baby…
Monie On Monday, May 24 at 2:09 pm
I'm so sorry.
Here's what I think…because I, too, have been the victim of the safety procedures in place now, (for which I am very grateful…and thankful)…I just think there now needs to be a security checkpoint pack'n mail type of place, that could serve the needs of folks that would be delighted to pay to have their items shipped home. I'm sure you would have loved to have had access to purchase a flat-rate box for your items….just sayin'.
Megan (Best of Fates) On Monday, May 24 at 2:09 pm
That is a true tragedy – I know at some airports they will ship your items to you (for, I believe a gigantic fee) but I suppose Philadelphia hasn't reached that stage of evolution. Just think, as sad as you are about your loss, your poor cosmetics must be even sadder, feeling abandoned and alone in that huge heap of garbage.
DARLA78 On Monday, May 24 at 2:09 pm
I feel your pain ,,,,
Erin I. On Monday, May 24 at 2:09 pm
They tried to confiscate a bottle of Jack Daniels Black Label from my brother (gift for my soldier husband). He just looked at them and said, "Yeah, right." They put it back. Try it next time Ree!!!
AGinTO On Monday, May 24 at 2:11 pm
OH NO!! In Toronto they give you the option of getting back out of line, and either buying a padded envelope, stamps, and mailing that stuff to yourself instead of carrying it on or checking your bag.
That La Mer… omg. I'd be devastated too.
Sandy On Monday, May 24 at 2:11 pm
My daughter brought her dad a Plum Wine when she returned from Japan. She had been there as an exchange student and didn't expect to return in many many years. After she returned from Japan she packed up her bags and headed to visit her Dad in Puerto Rico, proud to show her caring with the precious gift… that she forgot to pack in her suitcase. When they pulled the wrapped bag out of her carry one she almost died. She was so lucky that she had a small carry on and a big purse. Upon explaining the situation to the security officer they let her exit the area where she proceeded to remove her sweatshirt and a long sleeve tshirt so she could wrap it around the gift. Then she crossed her fingers and let it run. It arrived safely but it was a crazy moment.
Kathleen R On Monday, May 24 at 2:11 pm
I love Aveda products!! Have you tried their foot relief?? or their Rosemary Mint lotion? It's my absolute favorite. My ultimate splurge/indulgence.
Sarah Lynn On Monday, May 24 at 2:11 pm
Wow! I constantly fly through PHL airport, (I'm a Philly girl) and I've never had anything confiscated yet! I feel for you though when I was in Manila Philippines one time they tossed out my coconut and lime bath and body works travel lotion!
AGinTO On Monday, May 24 at 2:12 pm
PS…someone should tell these people that women who carry expensive toiletries are IN NO WAY dangerous terrorists. It's the ones who carry the cheap stuff – they don't care if they die. LOL… those of us with expensive products would NEVER blow ourselves up. LOL
L On Monday, May 24 at 2:12 pm
And the sad thing is they take them away because they could be explosive. But do you really think they check them for explosives? I somehow doubt it.
My condolences for you loss….
Estie On Monday, May 24 at 2:14 pm
That La Mer-my heart just stopped.
Patti On Monday, May 24 at 2:15 pm
Ouch, that hurts! If this happens again and pleading with security doesn't work, you could probably find a fed ex right there in the airport (assuming you had the time of course) and ship it home. Granted, it's a big pain in the neck and probably a little costly, but not as costly as the La Mer.
Sam On Monday, May 24 at 2:15 pm
Oh my god, La Mer.
Sylvia Sayers On Monday, May 24 at 2:16 pm
The security people are the best smelling people in America…I refuse to believe they throw it out!!
Karen U On Monday, May 24 at 2:17 pm
Hi Ree, I saw you on QVC and I can certainly feel your pain regarding your confiscated contraband. The security guys took a yogurt away from me on a trip from Maine home to Calif and almost go a hold of a jar of blueberry (maine) jam but it made it (barely) under the 3 oz rule. Dumb!
Joanna (Questionable Housekeeping) On Monday, May 24 at 2:17 pm
Oh, man. It's just stuff, but it still stings!
farmboy's wife On Monday, May 24 at 2:17 pm
this 'almost' happened to me coming out of boise, id… let's just say I was not willing to throw my newly purchased clinique mosturizer away, so I just checked my bag.. total inconvience, but in the end.. totally worth it!!
Lori in Omaha On Monday, May 24 at 2:18 pm
The daughter of a woman at work sends her many, many bottles of toiletries confiscated at the Little Rock airport. Don't know how or why but she brings them to work to share.
JEM On Monday, May 24 at 2:18 pm
TSAs and the "security" measures they enforce are a waste of money and time.
jennifer Gray On Monday, May 24 at 2:18 pm
I am crying with you…
Jewelybelle On Monday, May 24 at 2:18 pm
Did this same thing once. I thought to myself, "I'll just my cosmetics bag in the wheel-on suitcase". I had 1 full size bottle each of my fave shampoo and conditioner, Clinique make-up remover/toner which save my skin during my troublesome teen skin years, and my FAVORITE hairspray. I may have shed a few tears with those. When you are a poor college student the loss $30 worth of cosmetics is something to cry about.
jodi On Monday, May 24 at 2:22 pm
I'm with all the others…don't kid yourself..someone is enjoying your booty as we speak…..
Lisa On Monday, May 24 at 2:22 pm
In a similar vein, TSA confiscated three 8oz containers of….wait for it….mustard, as I departed Milwaukee yesterday. It was really great mustard, to go with all the really great sausages in Wisconsin. The officer said mustard, ketchup AND mayo are all considered liquids….go figure.
Happily, he didn't touch the 6 pounds of WI award-winning cheese in my insulated bag!
Denise Spencer On Monday, May 24 at 2:22 pm
How horrible! I wish I knew, I could have met you there and mailed them to you. Next time you are coming into Philly, you call me, you hear? lol
Jenny On Monday, May 24 at 2:23 pm
Oh man, that sucks! I wonder if at the end of their workday the airport people have a lottery and they get to keep the stuff. If they do, someone got really lucky with your stuff!
Jackie On Monday, May 24 at 2:25 pm
I hate Philly airport. My hometown (in New Jersey) is just 30 minutes south of Philly. I fly into Baltimore and drive three hours just to avoid it.
Stacy Lastinger On Monday, May 24 at 2:25 pm
Oh that just STINKS!
Jessica On Monday, May 24 at 2:25 pm
Oh, I'm feelin' your pain! That is so not right, and then the bad guy probably slipped right past 'em =).
Daphne G On Monday, May 24 at 2:26 pm
Aww so sorry for the devestating loss. WOuld it make you feel better to know that some wife is very happy today with some lovely free products from her husband?
Maybe she reads your blog and will send them on t you or hey maybe at least she will send you a thank you!
Erin On Monday, May 24 at 2:27 pm
The liquids ban is the absolute biggest scam, right alongside taking off your shoes. Security experts have said again and again that it's just to make passengers FEEL safe, not actually for safety. They took away my Tupperware container with yogurt and granola in New Zealand–seriously?
ella On Monday, May 24 at 2:27 pm
Ummm.. I bet someone fished those out of the trash.
Just sayin'…
rayleighsmom On Monday, May 24 at 2:27 pm
We flew from Philadelphia to El Paso a few weeks ago (and back, of course). I thought they were going to interrogate me. They scanned my bag like… 3 or 4 times and I KNOW there was no liquid in it. The closest thing to liquid was a SOLID skittles lip gloss. It's crazy. I hate the TSA, their security measures make me totally not want to fly. I think it's bull crap because as we've seen terrorists are still getting on planes, going unnoticed BUT the Army wife and the ranch wife are the ones who pay the price regardless of their innocence.
Amber Dawn On Monday, May 24 at 2:27 pm
HAHAHA, ok the toothpaste thing made me laugh. I was flying out of Ithaca, NY back to gool ole Richmond, VA last week when a gentleman (I use that term loosely) literally threw a hissy fit because airport security tossed his half used tube of Crest. He made a scene, held up the line (and I don't like to stand barefoot in an airport for very long), and ultimately lost his toothpaste and became the laughing stock of Ithaca airport. LOL, I guess you had to be there. hahaha

mcl2008 On Monday, May 24 at 2:28 pm
Oh, I feel your pain! That's absolutely horrible! I tend to think that airport security sifts through all the confiscated items and claim what they want afterwards
Julie Size On Monday, May 24 at 2:28 pm
That Lamer stuff brought $11.00 at the after hours Airport Security poker game! Thanks Ree… Uhhh – will you be flying any time soon again???
snicker snicker… your friendly airport security staff
Breezy Scott On Monday, May 24 at 2:28 pm
Such a bummer. One time I bought Betsy Johnson perfume and lotion while on vacation. I put both things in my purse not thinking and they took my whole new bottle of lotion. =( It was the worst feeling.
Michelle On Monday, May 24 at 2:29 pm
I hear you, PW! It is just gut-wrenching to watch those items be tossed. Our husband would also shed tears, lest they knew how much they cost.
Kelly Deneen On Monday, May 24 at 2:30 pm
I am so sorry for your losses. it's just not fair.
megj On Monday, May 24 at 2:31 pm
my $50 utility knife was confiscated by Philadelphia Airport security because i accidentally left it in my sister's bag a couple days earlier.
Chau On Monday, May 24 at 2:32 pm
Sorry for your lost.
Kim On Monday, May 24 at 2:33 pm
They didn't have that little 'mail it home' kiosk?
Crystal On Monday, May 24 at 2:33 pm
That happened to me two summers ago and I STILL think about all my things! I am pretty sure that the TSA people call dibs. I highly-doubt the scavenged goodies are thrown away. Sadness.
Valerie On Monday, May 24 at 2:34 pm
I am so paranoid about traveling with liquids. I would have asked them to do the liquid bomb test thingy they do on baby's liquids because the La Mer costs as much as what they make a day!
Amy P On Monday, May 24 at 2:34 pm
I feel your pain! This has happened to me twice…the first time I watched (and cried) as my products were tossed in said trashcan. The second time I hid them in a tall planter in the airport and came back for them on my return flight back home!
Vicky Wardlaw On Monday, May 24 at 2:34 pm
I'm guessing some savvy airline employee snatched up all that good stuff. Too bad that you had to be the one to lose it.
terriab On Monday, May 24 at 2:35 pm
ugh! I've had that happen before (not with such nice things!) because I had a flat tire on my way to the airport and was too late to check my luggage! Were you at QVC in Philly??? When will you be on?
psumeb83 On Monday, May 24 at 2:35 pm
I think airports need to set up FedEx/UPS/USPS kiosks so when this kind of thing happens you can throw your stuff in a box and have it shipped wherever! I'd rather pay for shipping than for replacing the items most of the time…at least make it an option for those of us who don't pack 3 days in advance and cram things wherever they will fit as we run out the door!
