Several controlled studies have shown that long-term anticonvulsant treatment decreases blood levels of biotin.1 , 2 , 3 , 4 In children, a deficiency of biotin can lead to withdrawn behavior and a delay in mental development. Adults with low biotin levels might experience a loss of appetite, feelings of discomfort or uneasiness, mental
, or hallucinations. To avoid side effects, individuals taking anticonvulsants should supplement with biotin either alone or as part of a
Several controlled and preliminary studies showed that multiple drug therapy for
results in dramatic reductions in blood carnitine levels.5 , 6 , 7 Further controlled research is needed to determine whether children taking anticonvulsants might benefit by supplementing with L-carnitine, since current studies yield conflicting results. For example, one controlled study indicated that children taking
valproic acid
and carbamazepine received no benefit from supplementing with L-carnitine.8 However, another small study revealed that children taking valproic acid experienced less fatigue and excessive sleepiness following L-carnitine supplementation.9 Despite the lack of well-controlled studies, individuals who are taking anticonvulsants and experiencing side effects might benefit from supplementing with L-carnitine.
Anticonvulsant drugs can occasionally cause
birth defects
when taken by
women, and their toxicity might be related to low blood levels of vitamin A. One controlled study showed that taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs results in dramatic changes in the way the body utilizes vitamin A.10 Further controlled research is needed to determine whether supplemental vitamin A might prevent birth defects in children born to women on multiple anticonvulsant therapy. Other research suggests that ingestion of large amounts of vitamin A may promote the development of birth defects, although the studies are conflicting.
One controlled study revealed that taking anticonvulsant drugs dramatically reduces blood levels of vitamin B6.11 A nutritional deficiency of vitamin B6 can lead to an increase in
blood levels, which has been associated with
. Vitamin B6 deficiency is also associated with symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, mental
, and seizures. On the other hand, supplementation with large amounts of vitamin B6 (80–200 mg per day) has been reported to reduce blood levels of some anticonvulsant drugs, which could theoretically trigger seizures. People taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs should discuss with their doctor whether supplementing with vitamin B6 is advisable.
Though research results vary, long-term use of anticonvulsant drugs appears to interfere with vitamin D activity,12 which might lead to softening of bones (
). One study showed that blood levels of vitamin D in males taking anticonvulsants were lower than those found in men who were not taking seizure medication.13 In a controlled study, bone strength improved in children taking anticonvulsant drugs who were supplemented with the activated form of vitamin D and 500 mg per day of
for nine months.14 Some research suggests that differences in exposure to sunlight—which normally increases blood levels of vitamin D—might explain why some studies have failed to find a beneficial effect of vitamin D supplementation. In one controlled study, blood vitamin D levels in children taking anticonvulsants were dramatically lower in winter months than in summer months.15 Another study of 450 people in Florida taking anticonvulsants found that few had drug-induced bone disease.16 Consequently, people taking anticonvulsant drugs who do not receive adequate sunlight should supplement with 400 IU of vitamin D each day to help prevent osteomalacia.
Two studies showed that individuals taking phenytoin and
had lower blood vitamin E levels than those who received no treatment for seizures.17 , 18 Though the consequences of lower blood levels of vitamin E are unknown, people taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs should probably supplement with 100 to 200 IU of vitamin E daily to prevent a deficiency.
Individuals on long-term multiple anticonvulsant therapy may develop below-normal blood levels of calcium, which may be related to drug-induced
vitamin D
deficiency.19 Two infants born to women taking high doses of phenytoin and
while pregnant developed jitteriness and tetany (a syndrome characterized by muscle twitches, cramps, and spasm) during the first two weeks of life.20 Controlled research is needed to determine whether
women who are taking anticonvulsant medications should supplement with additional amounts of calcium and vitamin D.
Anemia is an uncommon side effect experienced by people taking anticonvulsant drugs. Though many researches believe that low blood levels of
folic acid
are involved, the effects might be caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency. Deficiencies of folic acid and vitamin B12 can lead to nerve and mental problems. One study revealed that individuals on long-term anticonvulsant therapy, despite having no laboratory signs of anemia, had dramatically lower levels of vitamin B12 in their cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that bathes the brain) when compared with people who were not taking seizure medications. Improvement in mental status and nerve function was observed in a majority of symptomatic individuals after taking 30 mcg of vitamin B12 daily for a few days.21 Another study found that long-term anticonvulsant therapy had no effect on blood levels of vitamin B12.22 The results of these two studies indicate that people taking anticonvulsant drugs might experience side effects of vitamin B12 deficiency, and that the deficiency is not easily detected by the usual blood tests. Therefore, individuals taking anticonvulsant drugs for several months or years might prevent nerve and mental problems by supplementing with vitamin B12.
Several studies have shown that multiple anticonvulsant therapy reduces blood levels of folic acid and dramatically increases
levels.23 , 24 , 25 Homocysteine, a potential marker for folic acid deficiency, is a compound used experimentally to induce seizures and is associated with
. Carbamazepine alone has also been shown to reduce blood levels of folic acid.26
One preliminary study showed that
women who use anticonvulsant drugs without folic acid supplementation have an increased risk of having a child with
birth defects
, such as heart defects, cleft lip and palate, neural tube defects, and skeletal abnormalities. However, supplementation with folic acid greatly reduces the risk.27 Consequently, some healthcare practitioners recommend that women taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs supplement with 5 mg of folic acid daily, for three months prior to conception and during the first trimester, to prevent folic acid deficiency-induced birth defects.28 Other practitioners suggest that 1 mg or less of folic acid each day is sufficient to prevent deficiency during pregnancy.29
One well-controlled study showed that adding folic acid to multiple anticonvulsant therapy resulted in reduced seizure frequency.30 In addition, three infants with seizures who were unresponsive to medication experienced immediate relief following supplementation with the active form of folic acid.31
Despite the apparent beneficial effects, some studies have indicated that as little as 0.8 mg of folic acid taken daily can increase the frequency and/or severity of seizures.32 , 33 , 34 , 35 However, a recent controlled study showed that both healthy and epileptic women taking less than 1 mg of folic acid per day had no increased risk for seizures.36 Until more is known about the risks and benefits of folic acid, individuals taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs should consult with their healthcare practitioner before supplementing with folic acid. In addition, pregnant women or women who might become pregnant while taking anticonvulsant drugs should discuss folic acid supplementation with their practitioner.
Some studies have shown that babies born to women taking anticonvulsant drugs have low blood levels of vitamin K, which might cause bleeding in the infant.37 Though some researchers recommend vitamin K supplementation prior to delivery,38 , 39 not all agree that supplementation for women taking anticonvulsant drugs is necessary.40 Until more information is available,
women or women who might become pregnant while taking anticonvulsant drugs should discuss vitamin K supplementation with their healthcare practitioner.

One aspect of the Supreme Court's ruling on the Defense Of Marriage Act you might not think about, is bi-national couples. For years, a Penfield couple paid for one of them to go to college, taking classes one of them didn't need, so they could stay together.
Wednesday's decision means people like Judi McDougall and her wife Sue Goodrich may now be able to stay together in the United States. This ruling will allow McDougall to get a green card, something not even her marital status could help, until now.
"I've been in college for 8 years to try and stay with her."
Judi McDougall and Sue Goodrich have done everything they could legally to keep McDougall, a British citizen, in the United States. As long as she's a college student, she's been able to stay.
"Its been a huge thing. we've been under the threat of deportation, having to pay humongous bills for me to stay in college taking classes I don't necessarily need," said McDougall.
The Penfield couple was legally married two years ago, however, under the Defense Of Marriage Act, Goodrich couldn't sponsor McDougall to become a U.S. Citizen. It was a privilege just for heterosexual couples, until today.
"The school; that she attends told her she had one more year, and then we were looking at what do we do, what country do we go to, what are we faced with," said Goodrich.
Lynette Adams asked, "You were going to have to decide between the love of your life and your children?"
"Yes, and I can't make that decision. It's not fair to me to have to decide between the two of them because they are equally important to me and I can't do that, and this saves me from an impossible decision," said Goodrich.
Its estimated that in about 36,000 same sex couples in the U.S., one partner is not a U.S. citizen. The person who is a citizen will now be able to sponsor their partners who apply for a green card.
Kaelyn Rich, who heads the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union says this is a big problem. She knows of a number of cases where couples have been forced to move out of the U.S., or live separately in two different countries, because of DOMA.

BrickDesign History
The development of BrickDesign was triggered by a small software we realized a couple of years ago for the company Keller AG Ziegeleien. ROB Creator is a java-based program, which allows the user to apply patterns and images on straight brick walls. The created designs can be directly ordered from Keller. This software lacks a lot of functionalities BrickDesign has to offer. But, it is fun to play around with and has the advantage to be a standalone software and very easy to use. If you want to give it a try, you can get it here: ROB Creator.
Download public beta
The public beta of BrickDesign is now available for download. Go to to the Download page to install your copy of BrickDesign.
In order to download you need to be logged in. If you do not have an account yet please register first. Registration also gives you access to the discussion forum on all topics concerning BrickDesign.

If this guys shoulder is going to be an on going problem then someone needs to break the news to him and just let him sit with the clipboard. Get healthy and hopefully play later this season. Learn the playbook and study film. We've already gone one year with a QB (Todd) with a sore shoulder. We suffered through that entire season and when he was healthy it was much improved.
Wake up Kevin.....the ChAUmpion just knocked you out! LMAO!!!
"Dude, it's a column. A column is supposed to include the columnist's point of view. You're welcome to disagree, but know that a column isn't meant to be just the facts, m'am."
That's the problem Kevin....you've got 10% facts and 90% manure. There should be a law against stupidity so you could serve your term consecutively. You are depriving some other newspaper of an idiot. Do me a favor and please post your grades from the college you attended. Either way, someone will be punished for either cheating or absence of leadership.
Give me a break dude! First of all, you can't tell anyone, who to like. If you're going to waste the company's money by writing these ridiculous articles and call it reporting and good journalism, you've indeed bumped your head. I don't care if Tiger or any other player were from the state of Alabama. You like who you like and that's the end of it. These guys have jobs(endorsements) that are paying them to perform and be good and what they do. Why doesn't your job expect the same?
The thugs on the street are cut from the same fabric that sits on the council. @ Donald....You say we complain, but we're only stating the facts. Birmingham is full of crime and thuggish behavior. If you want to change the city, then lets enforce the curfew, no sagging pants, close some of these violent clubs and increase the biking patrols. When people feel scared, they have a tendency to stay at home or go elsewhere. Lost customers equal lost revenue. If you want to march on something I say lets march on city hall. It's time for change. I hope the next elected official is not from Birmingham (just buys a foreclosure) and calls it his residency.
@Donald....No one is under cutting Birmingham. The city council and the rest of the thugs are doing that already. We can't keep replacing one or two council members and expect change. They all have to be replaced at the same time. Birmingham needs to stop throwing money at all of these feel good projects that can't get off the ground and clean up the crime in this city. They operate the council like a cartel. Do as I say or I'll cut funding to your district. It's the old strong-arm tactics. Do us all a favor Bell and just resign. You can take Smoot and the rest of those political nobodies with you. People who are too lazy to hold down a real job, so they get elected to the city council. "That's just Greeeeeat".
First of all...my heart goes out to all victims in this case. Second..this guy looks to be about 160-180lbs, so IF they jumped him, shame on them. However, they didn't deserve to die, nor should he have been shooting into a crowd of people. When several guys approach you, for whatever reason and they stand 6'5 or bigger and weigh 300+, you will find a way to level the playing field and unfortunately, that's what he did. Kids nowadays are afraid of being called a punk and they don't understand the value of life. If the former players were protecting this girl from being injured, then it will be up to her to give an eyewitness account of what happened. There are too many stories and a lot of evidence to gather, but rest assured that JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL IN THE END.
Character...character....character. You have to have it these days if you want to positively affect kids lives. Lead by example and your job will be much easier. Prayers for the families and victims. WDE!!!
It's a shame when THIS government takes better care of the politicians that make these laws and that send our troops to fight wars only a few understand. We have 18 year old young men asked to do and volunteering to do, what most of us are too afraid to do. It's bad enough that most of the service men/women can qualify for food stamps/EBT, we are letting them fall between the cracks. The veterans hospitals are a joke. These soldiers should be able to get care at any hospital of their choosing. How about that as a bullet point for the coming election. ObamaCare or RomneyCare....needs to fix this problem, before one of these soldiers loses it and snaps on a large group of people. I've served my time in the military and I know how cold the government can be. I had 6 months left before my enlistment time was up and they sent me orders for Korea. They wanted me to extend and when I didn't, I had to sign a declaration removing all benefits after discharge.
It's becoming a contact sport that punishes you for contact. Now would be a perfect time for Vince's (XFL) to re-enter the conversation. It was a disaster, but it at least provided some entertainment.
@JBF....I totally agree. LSU would've put Morris Claiborne on Blackmon and it would've been lights out. Bama's defense would have sent Weeden into retirement with no aspiration for the NFL. The comments from this guy is sour grapes and Scarb is just as pathetic. He's in Alabama now and trying to say all of the right things and Scarbo is writing all of the wrong things. Concentrate on golf and leave the football world to the SEC!!!!
If they get past Clemson and MSU with ease....look out for a great year. If the defense shows great improvement and are able to get off the field, we're playing for the SEC championship. The offense has enough play-makers to score with the best of them. The tight-end and RB's will be huge this year. WDE!!!
He'll be a star at Penn State. Besides the linebacker corp they don't have much else. Good luck young man and we'll see you in the future.
"I called him to just stay in touch with him. Penn State is kind of a dream school for me. Even though I haven't visited yet, I knew it was a place I wanted to go."
Yea, compared to North Texas and UAB.....good choice!
Two of the most uniformed guys on the planet! These two clowns are the perfect example of what's wrong with this state.
Why? You'll only fire him after one year or if he tells you something you don't like! Morons!
These punks must have been scoping this couple out for a while. Either way, whoop some ass and put these clowns behind bars. You shoot a man that's in his bed for screaming out to his wife? I'm guessing these punks are probably 17-21 years of age.
@choctawbob......Your response is the best I've read in a long time. Good advice.
The payoff for the football team, Spry said, will be faster receivers and cornerbacks.
Every team could use faster corners and receivers. I say have the track team sign him and play football second. That should leave more room for scholarships for the football team. WDE!!!!
Good article. Hopefully he's got an apprentice he can teach his craft. If he wasn't from Iowa, this would make a good story for Absolutely Alabama.
Down years? Ok....sounds acceptable. @BigAl....thanks for your service. I'm not sure how much Agent Orange you were exposed to and maybe I'm dealing with a little PTSD from my time in the service, but if you think that Bama is going to continue to Roll over everyone, you're highly mistaken. Your team will be tested this year. Every play, every down and every game! Sorry about the absolute declaration. You'll actually have to work for it this year. I do agree, you were the best team last year and it's just that....last year.

Victoria's Secret is at the forefront of criticism from Native Americans across the country, as well as in New Mexico.
This comes after one of the company's lingerie models wore what looked like a traditional headdress for the taping of next month's televised fashion show.
Photos of the model's Native American style get-up have stirred up thousands of comments - from super sexy to downright offensive - all over the internet.
The VS Fashion Show is often referred to as the "sexiest night on television," as the super models flaunt it all.
A photograph released after last week's taping of the event has some Native Americans outraged.
"Why are you appropriating our history, our culture and using it for commercial means?" Navajo Tazbah McCullah said.
Depicting a lingerie model in a floor-length headdress, adorned with traditional turquoise jewelry, and suede fringe over leopard panties and a bra is pure ignorance, McCullah said.
Historically, headdresses symbolize honor and respect, and depending on the tribe, are worn in ceremonial dances by men.
"I wouldn't want my granddaughters thinking that that's okay to do this, to use anybody's culture to make a buck," McCullah said.
At first glance to some, the model's beauty is blinding.
"No, I'm not offended, actually, I think it looks pretty nice," one man said.
But with another look, most said, they see both sides.
"That could be offensive to somebody I guess," another woman said.
"I think that should be respected. There are many other things she can wear," another woman said.
After the overwhelming response from Native Americans across the country, Victoria's Secret released this statement: "We sincerely apologize as we absolutely had no intention to offend anyone."
"They've been educated, and if they don't do it again, then the point has been made," McCullah said.
Victoria's Secret also made it clear on their Facebook page, "Out of respect, we will not be including the Native American outfit in any broadcast, marketing materials nor in any other way."
The fashion show airs on Tuesday, December 4.

Good restaurant for an awkward dinner
My two divorced parents are visiting me (I live in Brooklyn) on the same weekend. This will be the first time they're interacting with each other in a long time, and they're not particular fond of each other. Can anyone recommend a restaurant that would make this (probably extremely awkward) dinner the best it can be? Needs to be in Brooklyn, nice-ish, not small/sharing plates based, and ideally servers that really know how to guide a table. help please!

"Every coach has a history, so you try to go back into the coach's history and what he's done." - Texas A&M Coach Mike Sherman.
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
In their study of New Mexico Lobos, in their preparation for Mike Locksley football at UNM, the Texas A&M Aggies have spent a great deal of film room time in Utah, Louisiana and Illinois.
Because in order to beat the Lobos in the future - Saturday at Kyle Field in College Station - the Aggies believe they need to know about Locksley's past at Illinois and the history of Locksley's two coordinators: Darrell Dickey on offense, Doug Mallory on defense.
You might think the Aggies' edge in this contest, besides Kyle's 80,000 strong, is their 28-22 win over the Lobos last September in Albuquerque. But too much about those Lobos has changed, namely a new coach, a new offense, a new defense.
"When you have a new staff, you're playing a different team," said Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman. "It's not like we're playing the same team. Obviously, we spent a lot of time, because of where the head coach is from, looking at Illinois. It's kind of a hodgepodge of research."
Sherman is hoping his Aggies can gain some sort of edge by looking at what Locksley did at Illinois, what Dickey did at Utah State and what Mallory did at LSU. Then his staff has to evaluate the UNM personnel and try to guess what kind of tweaks the Lobos will throw into their schemes to fit the Lobos' talent.
And then Sherman and his Aggies have to forget a lot of that stuff and just make sure they are sound on offense and defense. Ditto for the Lobos.
It's funny how football games often come down to fundamentals: blocking, tackling, kicking, catching a well-thrown football or maybe intercepting a poorly-thrown football.
What Sherman knows about the Lobos on offense is that they have given senior Donovan Porterie the huddle and UNM had enough talent at the receiver spots and the running back spots to give Porterie lots of options behind a solid O-line.
"More than anything, in the context of the game, you have to be able to adjust to something new," said Sherman. "We have to be able to handle things that maybe we haven't scripted in practice, because I'm sure there are things we haven't seen in practice that we will see in the game."
What Sherman knows about the Lobos on defense is that they have abandoned the 3-3-5 in favor of the more traditional 4-3 front and that the Lobos are a tad young and a tad small.
So, how will Sherman attack that new-look Lobo front? Since A&M and Sherman are a bit traditional, he might just go with a traditional approach and run the ball straight at the Lobos and use the ground game to set up the pass.
Not a bad thought considering A&M's line lists trench hogs that weight 300, 301, 303, 310, 312, 300, 305, 309 and 302. This is a lot of prime, Texas beef. The Aggies just might go to a two-back look with a tight end and challenge the Lobos to a physical war.
The emotional edge in the game has to lean to the Aggies simply because most of the 80,000 fans in Kyle will be leaning to the Aggies. "Our main goal this season is taking Kyle Field," said Trent Hunter.
All teams want to defend their home turf. Sherman claims the Aggies aren't harboring any bad memories from last year's home opener: an embarrassing 18-14 loss to Arkansas State.
But that might be coach-speak, or maybe a second-year coach hoping the hard-to-please Aggie fans have forgotten that first-year fiasco by Sherman. Sherman might be hoping those fans have forgotten the entire 2008 season.
The Aggies went 4-8 and 2-6 in the Big 12 South. They lost to the Texas Longhorns 49-9.
"We want to fire back from last year and make the point that Texas A&M is here," said Aggie Jeff Fuller.
The Aggies claimed to have an unhappy clubhouse in 2008 that led to a team divided. If so, the Aggies divided themselves and many teams conquered A&M. This season they claim to happy, motivated and talented. "The locker room is not divided anymore," says Hunter.
Like the Lobos, A&M went through a heated battle at the QB spot with Jerrod Johnson breaking the tape. Like UNM's Porterie, a big edge for Johnson was game experience. Johnson threw for three TDS in A&M's 28-22 win over UNM.
"What I remember of New Mexico last year was that they were a scrappy team, with strong fundamentals, that played hard," said Johnson. "We are going to have to be ready for a fight on Saturday. It's going to be important that we respect them."
The Aggies are expecting a turnaround from their belly flop of 2008. Still, again like the Lobos, this is a young team (27 freshmen and sophomores on depth chart) with a lot of question marks and a lot of growing to do.
The Aggies are picked to finish last in the six-team Big 12 South and surely this prediction is a reflection of the defense the Aggies placed on the field a year ago.
"Our main goal this season is taking Kyle Field."
Texas A&M Aggie Trent Hunter
And, like all the Aggies, it's a unit that has something to prove. "We kinda got a chip on our shoulders," said defensive lineman Von Miller.
The Aggies first chance to knock off that chip is against the University of New Mexico Lobos. For this game, the Aggies won't have to look at faraway places like Illinois or Utah for answers. They'll be in their backyard.

John Travolta, Joe Pesci and Lindsay Lohan star in the movie that Nick Cassavetes was originally scheduled to direct
Barry Levinson is in talks to replace Nick Cassavetes as director of an upcoming biopic about mobster John Gotti, TheWrap has confirmed.
If producer John Fiore can make a deal with the "Rain Man" director and "Donnie Brasco" producer, Levinson will take over for Nick Cassavetes, who dropped out of "Gotti: Three Generations" in April because of scheduling issues.
John Travolta stars as the Dapper Don, John Gotti. Joe Pesci and — if she's not in jail — Lindsay Lohan also star.
Actor-writer Leo Rossi wrote the screenplay.
The movie focuses on the head of the Gambino crime family, and his relationship with his son, John Gotti Jr., who became a "made man" when he was 24.
ICM is handling worldwide sales.
Variety first reported the news.

lets talk, The Body Shop - 01
Hey happy Monday, hope everyones doing alright. Last summer I was very lucky to be invited to the Body Shops' summer blogger event where they introduced us to their new Baked to Last range. Ever since i've kept in touch with them and although i've been lucky enough to be sent some of their newer ranges i've found i've kept going back into the store and spending my own money on their stuff and everything i've bought i'm getting along really well with. So I thought i'd show some of you what they have to offer and give my picks of my favourite Body Shop products, cause if you were anything like me I had neglected their shop in favour of the new favourite Lush (whom I still love, sorry but nothing beats Angels on Bare Skin!) and I think that honestly the Body Shop still deserve your time and attention and the credit they deserve cause some of their stuff is ace. I'm not being paid or sponsored for this post, by the way, and i've popped a note next to each product about whether I paid for it or whether it was provided. So keep track of the blog because over the next two weeks i'm going to single posts about each product. Hope this is helpful to some of you!
So, today's product is focusing on:
So, today's product is focusing on:
Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream
This retails at £9 for 50grams of product and i've had mine for about 5 months now and hardly made a dent in it! This is what the body shop website says about it:
An easily absorbed, non-clogging, oil-free, hydrating gel-like moisture cream. It controls excess sebum and shine whilst delivering essential moisture to areas most in need, balancing the skin throughout the day. Leaves skin feeling fresh, clean, soft and supple with a shinefree, matte complexion.
This definitely has a gel consistency, which I hope you can kinda see in the picture. It goes on really lightly, and I find it's absorbed into the skin almost instantly. It's quite watery in the sense that when you start rubbing it into your skin it dissolves into a more water-based texture and melts into the skin. I think the description is pretty right, it's like a shine control moisturiser/base. I find it gives me just enough moisture, and i've been using it underneath my Witch Tinted Moisturiser* and Witch Primer* and I woke up this morning and looked at my skin and for the first time in about 5 years thought it looked radiant and healthy (minus those bags!). I've had no blemishes since using this, and combined with the Witch primer it helps my make up go on much easier. I've sometimes just used this alone to control shine and then popped some pressed powder on the top for a light coverage.
I use the seaweed range a fair bit from the Body Shop and i'd say it's for oily/combination skin. I think this is what it has on the pot anyway...
I have combination skin and I use quite a few of their ranges, I'd recommend you not to go for the entire range of one type, I think you can mix and match them and get great results. You'll see as I go on to review more products that I use a lot from the Vitamin C range and the Tea Tree aswell as Seaweed.
Overall: The Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream is really easy to use, lasts ages and melts straight into the skin.
Ideal for: Oily/Combination skin.
Best used as: A primer, or shine control moisturiser.
Stay tuned for the next Body Shop posts!
What do you think of the Seaweed range? Do you use this product? What do you think about The Body Shop? Let me know, I love to hear your thoughts and comments!
The product featured in today's post was paid for by myself with my own money and not provided by The Body Shop.
Lots of love, Zozo xxx

I love this moisturiser and use it every day. I recently dabbled with Nutriganics but have come back to this one. I agree with not using everything from the same ranges too! xReplyDelete
Really like the sound of this - especially that it's more of a gel and soaks into the skin quickly!ReplyDelete
Thanks for this,
Fee x
This sounds great, I find it hard to get a moisturiser that doesn't leave my skin mega shiny.ReplyDelete
I use the face mask its REALLY good! Awesome review will definitly try and pick this up for those greasy summer months :P xxReplyDelete
This sounds great! It's really hard to find a moisturiser that doesn't leave me looking oily and horrible. I've only found one that is ok (No7 Day Sorbet) It's ok, but I really want to try this, it sounds just what I need :)ReplyDelete

Date: June 20, 2012
Location: Full Sail University, Winter Park, Florida
Commentators: Jim Ross, William Regal
It's FINALLY a new season of this shindig and things are really shaken up. We're permanently in Florida now with FCW and NXT merging and I can't say I'm complaining a bit. These will now be up on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays as they only air internationally at the moment, so I have to wait for the videos to surface online. I don't know what to expect from this so let's get to it.
The opening video is about how each generation has its own stars that define their era. NXT is about those that strive to make their own history. Cool video and this looks great so far.
Regal welcomes us to the show in a voiceover. I really like the arena as there's a small Titantron which looks like it belongs in a more intimate setting.
Here's JR to welcome us to the show. He brings out Dusty Rhodes who apparently is the new General Manager of NXT. The main event is McGillicutty vs. Kidd and Dusty is very excited about it. You can say a lot about Dusty Rhodes and a lot of it is critical, but you can NEVER say he comes off as bored or dull. The guy always sounds like he cares about what he's talking about and that makes a ton of difference.
Video on Bo Dallas which I believe we saw last week. His dad is Mike Rotunda, more famous as IRS. He talks about smiling all the time and being ready to go at any time.
We get the Vince Hospital clip from Raw.
Bo Dallas vs. Rick Victor
Regal and JR are on commentary so I can't complain there. The crowd sounds fired up already and I'm really digging this so far. It looks different from the regular WWE setup whih is a nice change of pace. Dallas controls with some armdrags to start but Victor chops away in the corner. Snap powerslam puts Victor down and a spear gets the pin for Dallas at 2:17. I didn't see enough of Dallas here to tell what I thought of him but it wasn't bad.
Dallas says you just saw his game plan being executed and that this is just the beginning. He talks about his smile some more. Dallas is only 22 and looks even younger than that, but that's the point of being in the minors like this. He has potential at least.
Video on Seth Rollins who talks about being the change we've been waiting for. He debuts next week.
Video on Antonio Cesaro and how awesome he is. He's The Future and will also debut next week.
Damien Sandow vs. Jason Jordan
The announcer messes up Sandow's hometown, calling it Palto Alo. Sandow does his usual schtick, talking about how this is an unworthy opponent. Therefore, he won't be wrestling tonight. No match.
Video on The Ascension, which is a stable I've heard a lot of good things about. They're standing on a rooftop and say they will rise. There are only two here instead of the three that I believe they usually have.
Raw ReBound is about John vs. John.
The Ascension vs. Mike Dalton/CJ Parker
Ascension is Conor O'Brien and Kenneth Cameron. Their entrance is pretty awesome with music that sounds like something out of a thriller movie's trailer and blue lighting. They actually look intimidating and above all else, they look DIFFERENT. That's been missing so badly on this show as everyone is just out there in trunks wrestling. Cameron and Parker start things off and the Ascension controls early. Off to O'Brien who stomps away on Parker in the corner. Ascension hits rapid fire elbows followed by a jawbreaker from Cameron into a flapjack by O'Brien for the pin at 1:11. I like what I see again. The finisher is called The Downcast.
Video on Bray Wyatt, more commonly known as Husky Harris. He's in a small town in the south and says that it's time for parents to quit lying to their children because monsters like him are real. I've heard rave reviews about this character and I think I can see why.
Derrick Bateman is looking for Johnny Curtis in the bathroom where Curtis is brushing his teeth. They leave the room together and Bateman looks annoyed. Apparently they're the main event next week. Curtis washes his hands on Bateman's shirt. These two still annoy me.
Tyson Kidd vs. Michael McGillicutty
Kidd works over the arm to start as the fans chant USA. McGillicutty runs Kidd over and counters an O'Connor Roll, only to have Kidd fire off kicks. Michael bails to the floor for a breather before locking up in a test of strength. Kidd climbs the ropes to escape and hooks the armbar again. Kidd throws him over the top and face first into the apron. That's followed by a suicide dive and we take a break.
Back with Tyson stomping McGillicutty down in the corner and hitting a leg lariat for two. McGillicutty sends him to the apron and hits a knee lift, followed by an elevated neckbreaker for two. We hit the chinlock but Kidd gets back up quickly. Kidd hooks a sunset flip but McGillicutty hits a clothesline to the back of the head for two. McGillicutty puts him in the Tree of Woe and chokes away.
Kidd gets put in the Tree of Woe again but his baseball slide misses, giving us his pop's signature crotch shot into the post. Kidd speeds up and fires off a bunch of kicks including a dropkick to the side of the head for two. McGillicutty counters a springboard clothesline with a dropkick for two.
Kidd comes back with a moonsault press for two. The fans are really getting into this. Dungeon Lock doesn't work and McGillicutty hits a Saito Suplex for two. McGillicutty puts on a half crab which is supposed to be called a Sharpshooter. The Perfectplex is countered into a small package for two. Kidd grabs the Dungeon Lock for the tap at 14:07.
Rating: B. These two continue to have some excellent chemistry together. Their styles mesh just right and they have yet to fail to have a good match. Kidd is in that weird spot where he's not going to be able to be a full time guy on the main rosters but he's great for something like this. McGillicutty is about the same but he's not quite as good. Together though they're a solid combination.

BAE Systems has clinched another sale of a BAe 146 regional jet into Indonesia.
PT Aviastar Mandiri purchased a BAe 146-200 that will be operated on behalf of Transnusa Air Services.
Indonesia is becoming a strong market for the BAe 146/Avro RJ family and so far this year BAE Systems has placed four aircraft into the country.
Aviastar Mandiri bought another BAe 146-200 in June, while PT Nusantara Air Charter also bought a Series 200 passenger airliner from BAE Systems and a Series 200QT (Quiet Trader) freighter in a deal brokered by BAE Systems in the summer.
Raj Singh, director sales and leasing Asia for BAE Systems says: "Indonesia is a very receptive market for us at the moment and we are actively engaged in further discussions with a number of operators."
BAE Systems says there are 11 BAe 146s, in three different variants, currently operating with seven Indonesian carriers.
PT Riau Airlines is carrying out scheduled and charter passenger operations with two Avro RJ100s, Aviastar Mandiri is doing with same with two BAe 146-200s, as does PT Manunggal Air with two BAe 146-100s, PT Nusantara Air Charter also flies a Series 200 and PT Air Maleo operates a single BAe 146-100.
Freighter operations are carried out by a BAe 146-200QT with PT Nusantara Air Charter.
Also, two Avro business jet variants are operated by PT Pelita Air Service (one RJ85) and by PT Airfast Indonesia, which files a corporately-configured BAe 146-100 on behalf of Metro TV, Indonesia's 24-hour news station.

OOXML: ISO Meeting Causes Controversy
The ISO standardization organization meeting convened to discuss OOXML has now come to an end and contradictory reports on the proceedings have caused some concern. So much so, that ISO has now issued a statement.
At the end of February, member organizations from 33 countries met in Geneva to discuss the extensive comments submitted to the authority after the first round of voting went against the Microsoft format. The participants were asked to discuss more than 6000 pages of suggested changes; according to wear a statement by some delegates, this was absolutely possible. In order to find some kind of result, a vote was held, but there is some doubt about the legality of the proceedings, as Rob Weir from IBM stated in his blog.
All the most of the participants abstained, and some of them completely boycotted the vote, the final result was a four-four tie. After roping in further delegates, the final result of the vote was 6 for and 4 against. Of course, only the final vote counts, and Microsoft's Jason Matusow was quick to claim that "The Open XML Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM) Was An Unqualified Success". Matusow also points to positive comments by the Danish and Norwegian delegations.
The standardization authority has now spoken up and the tone of the statement seems more than slightly disgruntled: The BRM was a technical meeting open to delegates that were duly nominated by the ISO and IEC national member bodies and registered for the meeting. The BRM was not intended to be a public event but followed the orderly and inclusive process of ISO and IEC."
ISO also makes it quite clear that the meeting did not bring about a decision on the proposal, but simply reached an agreement on the amendments proposed in the comments following the first vote. Commenting on the unusual proceedings, ISO writes: "When it was apparent that it would not be possible for all comments to be reviewed individually, the meeting discussed and agreed on a voting procedure to decide on the remaining proposed modifications." According to ISO most of the resolutions were unanimous, some accepted by consensus, four by a simple majority and four were refused. ISO refuses to accept criticism concerning the experience of the committee, stating that: "The BRM was organized by subcommittee SC 34, Document description and processing languages, of ISO/IEC JTC 1. ISO/IEC JTC 1 is one of the most experienced and productive of ISO and IEC technical committees, having developed some 2 150 widely and globally used international standards and related documents."
In contrast to this, the legal commentary page Groklaw refers to documents on the proceedings and to audio recordings that would allow a contrary interpretation of the meeting. And representatives from various countries have also indicated that the voting procedure was inadequate. For example, Malaysia criticizes the fact that technical questions were not sufficiently covered during the meeting.
Independently of the controversy, the 30-day count down in which the 87 national member bodies can review their decisions of September 2 is now running. Members have until March 29 to withdraw their negative votes or abstentions. If this does not happen, it will mean the end of the "short track" for OOXML, and the Microsoft standard will have failed, at least for the time being. ISO writes: "With the BRM review completed, it is now up to national bodies to determine whether approval of ISO/IEC DIS 29500 is warranted."
