It's no surprise that Retin-A is a wonder product. It's been clinically proven to help with moderate acne, reverse sun damage and boost collagen. It works. Thanks to the internet, almost anyone can get their hands on Retin-A, even though it's a prescription product. By skipping the doctor and getting a tube on your own, you might miss out on some really important things to know, things to avoid and how to get the best results with minimal side effects.
How it works:
It's important to know that Retin-A works on a cellular level by increasing cell turnover at a faster rate than the natural rate of production. The rate of cell turnover is the time it takes for skin cells to develop, die and flake off. Because Retin-A increases this process, new skin is constantly being exposed. This new skin needs to be handled carefully. Use of a broad spectrum sunscreen is a must. If you are going to be in the sun for a prolonged period of time, wear a wide brim hat. Even on cloudy days, you have to protect this tender skin from any sun exposure.
How to use:
It's best to use Retin-A at night before bed. Start using it about 3x/week and work your way up, using no more than once per day. Don't use a cleanser with any harsh chemicals or scrub your face too hard. Use a mild cleanser like Cetaphil or CeraVe. Once your face is completely dry, use just a pea size amount to cover your entire face. Any more than that can lead to irritation and won't make the product work any better.
When our skin gets too dry, our bodies kick our oil production into overdrive to help compensate for the loss of moisture. So those of us with oily skin can make things worse by not moisturizing and by using products that dry the skin out. Catch 22 right? Some people think that using a heavy moisturizer will only make their skin more oily. Not true. Giving the skin the moisture it needs will help your body stop the overproduction of oil. So after you apply the Retin-A, wait about 20 minutes then apply a mild moisturizer all over your face. I like the basic, no frills ones by Cetaphil and CeraVe. Your Retin-A is doing the work you need so just stick to a simple, gentle hydrating cream. You don't need anything fancy.
You may notice for the first few weeks that your skin starts to break out. Don't panic. This is normal and is a sign that the Retin-A is doing it's job. Retin-A brings acne blockages to the surface causing blackheads to be dislocated. The blackheads are then discarded from the skin during cleansing. So even if you didn't notice any acne before you started using Retin-A, you may now. Retin-A is not causing it, it's simply purging your skin.
Always follow the advice of your Healthcare provider. It's a prescription product for a reason. The information I provided above is from my experience alone and I am not qualified to advise anyone on the use of Retin-A or any other prescription medications.

Paul Newman…Tom Cruise…Martin Scorsese. Heaven on film. A sequel 25 years after the fact, Scorsese takes over for The Hustler helmsman Robert Rossen (who died in 1966) and continues the story of "Fast" Eddie Felson…a hustling pool player who uses his exuberant charm and extreme good looks to his benefit at every pool table he plays. The tale Scorsese spins here is much different than Rossen's tale of 1961. This film is more stylized and a little glitzier…at least as glitzy as pool halls can get. Here, Felson encounters a young man whom, seeing a lot of his young self in, he begins to groom into being a proper hustler. The protégée is crass and way to smart for his own good. Felson teaches him some of the lessons he learned over the years…though at times the protégée has trouble listening. The Hustler will always remain the quintessential Fast Eddie film. But, this one adds depth and experience to the aging hustler's character.

Fighting the temptations of Miami
Games 3, 4 and 5 of the NBA Finals will be played at American Airlines Arena in Miami, a town that lures visitors to its nightlife.
Fighting the temptations of Miami
Games 3, 4 and 5 of the NBA Finals will be played at American Airlines Arena in Miami, a town that lures visitors to its nightlife.
During the 2006 Finals between Dallas and Miami, Mavericks coach Avery Johnson ordered his players to switch hotels after the Heat won Games 3 and 4 to tie the series.
Johnson said his players had developed a "vacation mentality" and moved them 25 miles north to Fort Lauderdale, away from family and friends who had been sharing the previous hotel. Miami went on to win four straight and claim the series 4-2.
In last year's Finals against the Heat, which the Mavs won 4-2, Dallas players and coaches were booked into one hotel while family and friends stayed in neighboring hotels.
Asked if he was concerned about his players engaging in the Miami nightlife, Thunder coach Scott Brooks deadpanned, "What about the coaches?" before playfully revealing his wife was on the trip.
"I've never had any issues with our guys playing on the road," Brooks said, not kidding. "They've always been focused. Miami is a great city, there's no question. It's a great environment, but we're here to play basketball. There's only 10 days, two weeks left of the season, then there's plenty of time to vacation."
Miami guard Dwyane Wade chuckled when reminded what the Mavs did six years ago.
"That was funny back then," Wade said. "I remember that story, but I think maybe during the regular season a team comes here once and will enjoy it, but not during the Finals. You look at the season and say, 'Man, there's only 10 days left in the season at best.' I don't think it's a trap. I don't think the urge to want to go out and enjoy Miami is that important right now, especially when in 10 days you can enjoy it as much as you want."
Miami's LeBron James has been heavily criticized for his fourth-quarter play in the past, but don't ask the Thunder's Kevin Durant what he's seen out of James so far the Finals.
"I haven't really been paying attention to him, to be honest," Durant said. "As a fan maybe I would look at it, but I'm worrying about what we can do to win a ballgame in the fourth. I can't worry about LeBron or if he wants the ball or anything like that. I'm just worried about our team and how we want to try to do a good job and trying to win."
You haven't noticed his demeanor or anything?
"No, that's the last thing I'm paying attention to," Durant said. "I'm just worried about us. I'm sorry."
The Thunder has been outscored only in the first quarter so far in the NBA Finals, yet the series is tied at 1.
The Miami Heat has outscored OKC 56-37 in the first period. The teams have tied the second quarter of both games (25-25 and 28-28), while the Thunder has outscored Miami in the third quarter (51-42) of both games and in the fourth quarter (60-43) of both games.
Though the Thunder's defense has been suspect in the opening period, Brooks said he also has his concerns about the offense.
"We talk about toughness all the time, at least I do, and one may think it's just about the defensive end, but I always look at it as the offensive (end) also," Brooks said. "We have to do a better job of setting screens. That's one of strengths of our offense. We set screens, and we shoot a good percentage and score in the paint and we get to the free throw line. But we have to have better screens, we have to be able to come off our screens harder and we have to make the passes on time."
Thunder center Kendrick Perkins said OKC has to "come out and attack first."
"We can't come out and just keep taking punches and expect to keep bouncing back," Perkins said. "They came out and were aggressive on both ends, playing more aggressive than we were, so we've got to do a better job."
Durant dominated the fourth quarter in Games 1 and 2, combining for 33 points and shooting 11 for 19 from the field. What must the Thunder do to get Durant going earlier?
"I think we've got to do a better job of getting him the ball, and Kevin has to do a better job of getting open and being more aggressive," Perkins said. "I think he has to ask for the ball more, and we've got to do a better job of getting him open on screens and letting him get to his spots and do what he does."
Durant admitted he didn't like what he saw on film.
"It was tough to watch, go to the film and look at it and say, 'Wow, did I really just do that?'" Durant said. "It falls back on me as a leader, so I have to start the games out with a lot of intensity, no matter if I'm making shots or missing shots, no matter if I make a bad defensive rotation, I've just got to start off with a lot of energy."

Why is Bible engagement down in the digital age? Bible Gateway's Rachel Barach shares some insight.
[Digory] thought of his Mother, and he thought of the great hopes he had had, and how they were all dying away, and a lump came into his throat and tears in his eyes, and he blurted out: "But please, please—won't you—can't you give me something that will cure Mother?" Up till then he had been looking at the Lion's great feet and the huge claws on them; now, in his despair, he looked up at its face. What he saw surprised him as much as anything in his whole life. For the tawny face was bent down near his own and (wonder of wonders) great shining tears stood in the Lion's eyes. They were such big, bright tears compared with Digory's own that for a moment he felt as if the Lion must really be sorrier about his Mother than he was himself.
"My son, my son," said Aslan. "I know. Grief is great. Only you and I in this land know that yet. Let us be good to one another."

The Future of Government Information
(This document will be permanently housed at http://www.ucop.edu/lauc/opinions/gov_info.html)
Since 1860, there has been a system in place to insure public access to federal government information through a partnership between the Government Printing Office (GPO) and the hundreds of libraries in the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). Similar systems have been set up in nearly every state for state-produced information. For example, the California depository program, administered by the California State Library, was begun in 1945. The UC Libraries have long been active participants in both the federal and state depository programs and have assisted in providing for one of the core tenets of a democracy, an informed citizenry. I will primarily be talking about federal government information in this article, but many of the same issues involved translate to all levels of government information.
Current conditions:
In the last 15 years, as digital and internet technologies have developed, two challenges have arisen to the traditional system of government information dissemination whereby the GPO printed documents for federal agencies, sent them to FDLP libraries and libraries then made collection decisions, preserved and gave access to those documents.
Because more and more government information is accessible via the internet, GPO is no longer printing very many documents. In fact, by 2007, according to Superintendent of Documents Judy Russell, 95% of all federal information will be digital only.1 The acronym "GPO" is now largely a misnomer.
Another byproduct of the move to digital is that more and more federal agencies are producing their own documents and publishing them on their websites – thereby bypassing Title 44 of the US code which requires them to make their documents available to GPO so that GPO can describe and distribute them to depository libraries.2
These 'fugitive' government publications are not entered into the national bibliographic record nor distributed to FDLP libraries. Recent reports have stated that the number of fugitive documents may be more than 50% of all electronic documents. Some agencies – for example the National Institutes of Health – have found that almost 80% of their documents are not provided to GPO for dissemination.3
In short, more and more information is being "born-digital", and less and less of it is being moved through GPO to depository libraries. Many would point to the successful online distribution of the 9/11 Commission Report4 to show that digital government information is more widely available than ever to citizens and that the FDLP is no longer necessary.
However, the easy access of the 9/11 Report masks the fact that preservation and authenticity of information are becoming increasingly difficult to attain.5 Due to this, I believe that the FDLP, far from being an anachronism, is even more important in this digital era and that the UC libraries should continue to be active partners in this vital endeavor.
GPO's "Future Digital System"
GPO has begun to respond to the growing problems of access, preservation and authenticity in the digital age – and that's a good thing! In late 2004, GPO proposed a new content management system that they call the "future digital system." This system, GPO maintains, will enable GPO to collect, describe, preserve and make accessible all past, present and future government information.
To find out more, the Government Information Technology Committee of ALA's Government Documents Roundtable (GODORT) – which I chair – invited Superintendent of Documents Judy Russell and George Barnum from GPO's Office of Innovation and New Technology to the midwinter 2005 GITCO meeting to talk about the future digital system as outlined in the planning document, Concept of Operations for the Future Digital System (ConOps).6
ConOps outlines the creation of a centralized content management system based on digital standards, faithful application of the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) – a "comprehensive logical model describing all the functions of a digital repository."7 The future digital system will be modular, preferably open-source (in output format if not in software). It will automatically generate multiple metadata schema (descriptive, technical, structural, and administrative) including METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard), the current metadata darling of the digital library set. There will be automatic ingest and harvesting capabilities, content creation, management, and validation, the ability to convert digital formats, a new and better search mechanism than WAIS – the current, rather primitive search engine being used for GPOAccess – and archive and preserve digital documents into the future.
However, those concerned with policy rather than charmed by technology remain wary and for several reasons. There's no doubt that GPO has done its digital homework and that the future digital system is a valuable piece of the future system of providing for digital government information dissemination. However, in my opinion (and that of more and more librarians who delve deeper into the system), it is not the whole enchilada and should not be seen as such. In fact, a centralized database of all government information, far from being optimal, actually has the possibility of endangering ACCESS and PRESERVATION of government information as well as the PRIVACY of those who read government information. That is, unless there are other access and preservation options available, multiple digital repositories able to ingest digital documents and GPO-created metadata and a dedicated group working in collaboration to assure these core needs.
I will talk briefly about each of these issues – access, preservation and privacy.
Access may be endangered because GPO's future digital system will replace distributed access in multiple collections with centralized, controlled access. Any changes in government policy, fee-structures, access rights, or funding support for access at the federal level will affect access for all. This system will make it easy for politicians to remove, hide, and alter embarrassing information.8 A centralized database also will allow GPO to charge for access to the public information in that database because they will be the primary gatekeepers of all information. It will create an expensive system requiring large and continuous amounts of federal funding – putting the budget for access to government information in competition with defense, education, homeland security, etc.
Preservation may also be endangered by a central database. Digital preservation is an expensive and never-ending task requiring continued, perpetual funding. Digital preservation may perhaps be even more expensive than for books. I believe it is the epitome of foolishness nearing technological hubris to rely on one federal agency to do it all. Relying on a single system for preservation of all government information puts that information in danger of damage or loss because of federal funding shortfalls.
Furthermore, digital information is not stable. A book may last hundreds of years in the right conditions, but bits, software, and storage media are quite volatile. Digital preservation is in its infancy and nobody has created a perfect system to preserve digital information. As Patricia Cruse from the California Digital Library so rightly stated, "Since digital preservation is so new, it is very important to have a diversity of preservation approaches including different technical, funding and policy approaches."9 I believe it would be far better to rely for digital preservation on many libraries running multiple systems with many budgets rather than one chronically cash-strapped federal agency.
Privacy: The ALA Library Bill of Rights inherently protects a patron's right to read. A central database will endanger that right by allowing the government to track who is reading what. Server logs are kept automatically and can easily connect IP addresses to accessed content. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), while offering good technical tools for digital authentication, may also be used to invade a patron's privacy.10 The government will not need the USAPATRIOT Act to search library records, they will have the information already.
GPO's proposal will replace in all but name the current system whereby government information is distributed to 1250 FDLP libraries – a system that has successfully organized, preserved and provided free access to government information across the US for over 150 years.
GPO states that the rapid expansion of digital publishing and the World Wide Web necessitate the change in the FDLP toward a central database. However, the FDLP has worked for so long because it requires the federal government to pay only for the production and initial distribution of information, while the cost of preservation and access is borne by those depository libraries throughout the US . GPO's one-size-fits-all proposal will put the entire burden of access and preservation on the federal government and will not provide for an FDLP safety net of distributed digital collections.
Libraries, and more specifically UC libraries, will continue to have a very important role to play in the future of government information dissemination. I believe that what is needed at this historic juncture is a diversity of tactics. The UC libraries have begun to think about ways that we can work together in order to assure that our users have fully-functional access to all government information, that the information is preserved for future use, and that our patrons' privacy is protected.
For example, CDL's Web At Risk project, funded by a grant from the Library of Congress as part of the National Digital Information and Infrastructure Preservation Program (NDIIPP),11 will explore the creation of tools that will allow libraries to ingest, describe, give access to, and preserve government information. The Shared Cataloging Program (SCP) is already working well for California State documents and can be a key component in any future digital government information program. Stanford University Library's Lots-of-Copies-Keep-Stuff-Safe (LOCKSS) project also holds promise.12 Through a peer-to-peer architecture, the LOCKSS software functions as a persistent digital preservation system. These projects point toward the creation of a UC-wide digital repository of government information.
I believe that it is more important than ever that all of the main stakeholders (GPO, Congress, Libraries, NARA , citizens) – having different roles, constituencies, and mandates – work collaboratively to assure the future of government information. GPO should continue to enforce Title 44 and facilitate the FDLP by disseminating digital documents and their metadata to libraries. A system whereby GPO's future digital system works in conjunction with the above and future projects will be a distributed and stable system of digital information access and preservation. Not only would a UC-wide digital repository give our users quick and easy access to digital government information, it would allow us to do things never before possible like creating digital collections on-the-fly so that researchers and students could more thoroughly analyze disparate government information.13
Government information is in many ways, the canary in the coalmine for the library community. The issues that the government information community is attempting to resolve today will be those that the entire library community will face in the near future. Digital information requires that libraries have digital tools to continue to do what they have done successfully for so long – select, acquire, describe, preserve and provide access to and service for the world of information.

text: With numbers extremely tight and four players already committed, the Clemson coaching staff will be highly selective as it continues working its way through the 2014 recruiting cycle. "This is going to be a really small class - we're probably only going to sign 12 or 14 guys, and that's on the high end," said Dabo Swinney recently. The 'high end' is exactly where Clemson is doing its recruiting, as reflected by Rivals' initial national top 100, which was released on Monday.

Poggle the Lesser
Poggle the Lesser was the leader of the insect-like Geonosians throughout the era of the Clone Wars. Due to his control of the Geonosian battle droid factories, he was a powerful figure within the Confederacy of Independent Systems and commanded the droid armies that fought against the Republic in two battles for control of Geonosis. At the end of the war, Poggle lost his life to Darth Vader.
- Male,
- Height: 1.75m ,
- Geonosian Sonic Blaster,
Related //
A harsh rocky world less than a parsec away from Tatooine, Geonosis is a ringed planet beyond the borders of the Galactic Republic. Its uninviting surface is made up of harsh, rocky desert, and the creatures that evolved on Geonosis are well equipped to survive in the brutal environment. The most advanced lifeform are the Geonosians, sentient insectoids that inhabit towering spire-hives. The Geonosians maintain large factories for the production of droids and weapons for the Separatist cause in the Clone Wars.
Battle Droid
Rather than use flesh-and-blood warriors, the Separatists prefer mindlessly loyal soldiers that are easily controlled. The soulless ranks of their armies are dominated by tall, thin B1 battle droids built as mechanical imitations of their Geonosian designers. Battle droids can be controlled by centralized command centers such as the Trade Federation's enormous Droid Control Ships, or programmed for independent action. They often suffer programming glitches that manifest as personality quirks. Battle droids are dim-witted and no match for clone troopers or Jedi, but they weren't designed to be smart – they were designed to overwhelm Republic civilians through sheer numbers, something they do very effectively.
Rush Clovis
A Senator from Scipio, Rush worked closely with Senator Padmé Amidala early in her career. The two were romantically linked, until she insisted they return their relationship to a strictly professional level. With regret, Clovis respected her wishes. He continued to serve his people in the Senate, and became an influential representative of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. When the Clone Wars erupted, many in the Senate and Jedi Order suspected Rush's loyalty to the Republic. It was believed that the Banking Clan was secretly funding the Separatists.
Anakin Skywalker
Discovered as a slave on Tatooine by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. A hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin was caring and compassionate, but also had a fear of loss that would prove to be his downfall.
Queen Karina the Great
The secret leader of the Geonosians, Karina dwelled in the catacombs beneath the Progate Temple, laying eggs, controlling an army of Geonosian drones, and giving orders to public Geonosian leaders such as Poggle the Lesser. When Poggle fled to the Temple, the Jedi followed and discovered Karina, who had captured Luminara Unduli—and now sought control of Jedi Knights.

NEW YORK (AP) — Macklemore is The Source's man of the year.
The Seattle rapper was among the most-played artists of 2013, partnering with producer Ryan Lewis on hits such as "Thrift Shop," ''Can't Hold Us" and "Same Love" and earning seven Grammy nominations.
Macklemore discusses his hip-hop credentials, the Grammys, the role of race in his pop success and worrying over Kanye's opinion in an interview with the magazine out Tuesday.
Even though he's also nominated for best rap album at the Grammy Awards, Macklemore says Kendrick Lamar should win: "I think it should go to Kendrick. He's family."
Macklemore and Lewis also are up for top honors album and song of the year.
Previous man of the year winners include Rick Ross and 2 Chainz.

Community concern is common but conflicting issue for Lee commission candidates
FORT MYERS - With just over two weeks until election day and early voting starting next week, the differences are emerging between the candidates for the Lee County Commission District 4 seat.
Tammy Hall, the Republican incumbent, faces Debbie Jackow, who is running without party affiliation. The Nov. 2 election is open to all voters in the district, regardless of political affiliation.
For both Hall and Jackow, passion for the community is evident, but their backgrounds couldn't be more different.
Hall, 50, the first woman to chair the commission in its 119-year history, has been involved in politics and local government for a significant portion of her life.
Prior to election to the commission in 2005, she served as Ward 1 councilwoman for Fort Myers and also on various boards as both an appointed member or chairwoman.
In addition to her political career, she created a marketing consultant firm, Hall & Co., which provided services to local businesses, retail establishments, nonprofit organizations, government, and regional and international clients.
Jackow, 57, is a health professional, with multiple degrees in the medical field, and for the past 10 years has worked as a clinical laboratory scientist for the Lee Memorial Health System.
While she has served on various civic groups — in 1977 she became president of the Bayshore Civic Association, a position she held for seven years — this is Jackow's first experience running for political office.
There are clear differences in experience, something Hall contends is a significant reason she should win re-election. Yet they both can agree on certain issues, such as the necessity of protecting the environment, namely the northern Everglades.
Hall points to her voting record to prove she has fought for the environment, while Jackow, a 35-year resident of District 4, said she has continuously petitioned for the prevention of development in that area.
Click here for an interactive map of early voting sites in Collier and Lee counties
Leading up to the start of early voting Monday, this is one of a series of stories about candidates and issues on the ballot.
"In 2007 I helped author the northern Everglades protection act," Hall said. "I helped prepare, budget and fund projects to protect the Caloosahatchee River. Am I in favor of eliminating urban sprawl? Absolutely, but that would be easier for me to say. We must protect those areas; that's what makes those areas unique."
This is only a piece of what is on Hall's agenda if she is re-elected. However, this is a primary issue for Jackow. Though at the core they agree the environment needs to be protected, their understanding of just what that entails differs.
"My opponent voted to increase density and sprawl in Bayshore in the community plan. If it goes through it would destroy our entire community plan," Jackow said. "I have been fighting for 34 years of my life; you can't give 34 years to protect a rural area and just let somebody who has no attachment to it destroy it."
Hall said Jackow confuses zoning and land-use laws, and that under the law, land-use currently doesn't allow for urban sprawl.
Beyond the issues, Hall believes her experience, not just as commissioner but as a Lee County resident, sets her apart from her opponent.
"A big difference between my opponent and myself is, since I moved here (I have) been very entangled with the community as a whole, not just one area," Hall said. "I raised money for charities, volunteered ... I am more well-rounded as to what is Lee County and not just what is District 4."
Jackow sees her devotion to District 4 as anything but a limiting factor.

Jackow also believes her background in the medical field will help facilitate trust within the community. One issue she is pushing for is more hospital beds for those with mental disorders and addiction problems.
Also, she wants to put into place a pharmaceutical database to help prevent "doctor shopping" as a method of obtaining prescription pills by those addicted through visits to various doctors and pharmacies that don't employ cross-referencing of the patient.
Hall responded that there already are plans to build a private psychiatric center next to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers.
Hall feels confident that her track record as a commissioner will ensure her re-election.
Jackow believes the community is in need of change and those seeking it will vote for her.
"She's backed by special interest groups, but there's a lot of people who are totally dissatisfied with this government and dissatisfied with her as a commissioner and if they are dissatisfied enough, they will make a change," Jackow said.

This morning I emailed my submission for a new book entitled, "From Fear to Faith: Essays in Crisis and Transition" to be published by Energion publishers next year and dutifully edited by Joel Watts! This will be my first professionally published work. My article details my journey to faith, into and out of Pentecostalism and my discovery of vocational and spiritual identity. Writing it has been an incredible experience. In fact I would go as far as to say a healing experience. I think I have achieved a healthy balance of telling my story while remaining positive about the experience. I guess we will see.

Heya, guys! I'm RingtailedFox, and i operate a dedicated server from iweb.ca that contains my two websites, and various projects of my friends... i'm always looking for other people that need a home of their own online, so i can host them there... my two websites are MobianLegends (a retro Sonic the Hedgehog fansite), Lylat Central (a StarFox fansite).. though the full list of hosted websites is located at the Server Page. I'm also working on launching an internet television station that uses icecast2, but that won't launch for a while, at least. I'm thinking on adding a few sub-pages to retro cartoons from the 1980s and 1990s as well, though i do have a lot on my plate as it is.
Anyway, that's what i have to offer.. i hope you guys like what i have.

Investing in Our Kids. Should we give our children financial advice? Babble.com
When we give children financial advice, what are we really teaching them?
by Maria Laurino
August 6, 2009
With our economy in a major meltdown, it's no surprise that we're being bombarded with advice about our personal finances. But in the past year, the emphasis of that advice has made a surprising shift: the media, schools and banks are all telling us that we need to teach our young children about money, before it's too late.
Take "Fiscal Fitness," a course for grade school children which teaches those "as young as eight the nuts and bolts of money management": a former banker brings her multi-slotted piggy bank into classrooms to instruct children on financial skills like saving and investing. Or the newest attraction at Epcot Center, "The Great Piggy Bank Adventure," a series of games in which players, guided by a talking piggy bank, "move levers to ride the currents and capture falling coins before they've been reduced in value by the evil wolf and his sinister inflation machine." (This attraction is sponsored by investment firm T. Rowe Price; the bank ING is also getting into the action with its newly launched gaming website for kids, "Planet Orange.") One recent news segment showed six-year-olds writing checks and swiping credit cards in an updated version of the classic board game Monopoly, which now comes with its own credit card machine. Is this how we teach our children well? At four they learn to wipe, at six to swipe?
I remember my first hesitation about introducing the concept of money to our son. As a two-year-old he was given a "dinosaur bank" as a birthday present. The mother handed the gift to me saying, "My kids just love watching the money go down and build up." Our son would feed change into the blue mouth of the dinosaur. Each penny, nickel, dime, and quarter clanked its way down a long wooden neck carved like a corkscrew until reaching the plastic globe belly with a triumphal ping. The belly grew bigger as the loose change accumulated, and only a screwdriver could open the bank. The money was elusive – seductively piling up and ultimately out of reach.
I didn't want my son to horde his money, savoring the pile at first, and then longing for all that change to buy some toy he had in mind. I felt that once such a mindset developed and the belly of the beast was finally opened to let the change flow out, no toy would ever compensate for the empty feeling he would have staring at the penniless plastic globe in the belly of the dino.
So I made a simple rule. Every Christmas season we would open the bank, count the coins, and put them into individual paper rolls – the most fun activity – in order to cash them at the bank. Then we'd donate half the money to our local soup kitchen and my son could have the rest to either spend or put in a savings account. Once we established that dino helped to create our holiday soup kitchen project, I felt better about its trickle-down neck, perhaps an intuitive reaction to my aversion to trickle-down theories.
The idea that we should teach young children more about finance and credit in a money-fixated culture seems to me like helping a shipwrecked passenger in the middle of the Atlantic by tossing out a noodle from the swimming pool. If we weren't so obsessed with individuals making as much money as possible – rather than acting collectively to help improve the lot of the community – we might not be in the predicament we are today. So why not use the short and elusive time of childhood to teach the great virtues, not the little ones?

Search millions of historic photos
Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google.

Nice! I'm going to waste a lot of time with that.
Great find. Thanks
Bruce's post said: "...Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today..."
I didn't know that anybody was taking photos in the 1750s.
(Maybe the "camera" was a big box, with an oil-painting midget in it?)
Here's a 1750 "photographer" at work:
Well, it may not have been exactly "photography," but Hogarth was always accurate in depicting his observations.
Good choice!

Chapter 4 : iv.
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
"Oy! Finnigan, stop day-dreaming and get back to work!" George shouted down from somewhere in the upper level of the shop. Seamus shook his head and went back to stocking the shelves with the new-and-improved Puking Pastels. George insisted they would be revolutionary, and he was going to revitalize the whole line. Give them a new look, and make them even more affective. Seamus was just trying to stay out of the line of fire – and the testing area.
The new girl, poor unsuspecting Marietta, had been drawn in by George with the promise of sweets and a pay raise. She'd gotten the sweets, and a bit more than she'd bargained for. Last Seamus had heard, she had gotten the pay raise and a little bit more for her trouble. He was sure she'd deserved it.
Seamus was just finishing up stocking the shelf when he heard a familiar voice and tried to pretend that he didn't grin the moment he recognized it. It was odd, he didn't really have a reason to smile. She didn't like him, he certainly didn't like her, but the idea of interacting with her made his pulse race. He'd never felt that way around someone before, normally he felt shaky and stuttered a lot around women. Seamus shuddered at the thought. There was a reason he hadn't had a date in a while, and he didn't like to think about the last disaster.
From the responses, it sounded as though James was dealing with her. He wasn't on register, but he didn't think he would mind if he took over for a moment. Seamus brushed his hands off and shook his head. He knew he was just asking for trouble, but there was something about her that made him want to. No one had ever called Seamus cautious, but he'd never been especially reckless either. This decision though, well, he would definitely put it in the reckless category.
He didn't know how, but he recognized the set of Hazel's shoulders and knew that James was about to receive a lashing with words the likes of which he had never seen before. Seamus would have laughed if he didn't feel so sorry for the bloke. He increased his stride and put a hand on her shoulder before she got a chance to begin. James expression changed from pained fear to relief the minute he saw his backup.
"I'll take it from here mate, if ya don't mind." Seamus ignored the way Hazel was doing her best to burn a hole through his hand with her gaze.
"If you insist," James said but didn't give Seamus a chance to back out. He took his hand off Hazel's shoulder and walked around the counter so that he was put in a relative position of power. He knew who held the real power though, and it wasn't him. Her cheeks were flushed, and hers eyes were the calm before the storm. So quiet they were terrifying. Seamus suddenly didn't blame James a bit for running.
"So what's the problem, ma'am?" Seamus propped his chin up on his hands and tried to look as helpful as possible. He might have imagined it, but he thought he saw the flicker of a smile on her face before the deep frown returned. Unease pooled in his stomach, mixed with something he could only name as excitement. It was the oddest combination of feelings he'd ever had, but somehow he knew the more time he spent around Hazel, the more common they would become.
Hazel wrinkled her nose and tried to count backwards from ten. She didn't want to be there, and she certainly didn't want to be having this conversation again with Finnigan. She'd had somewhat of a chance with the previous employee but that small chance had been shot to hell when he'd volunteered to deal with her. He wouldn't understand. All he bloody cared about was the packaging – not that she was going to get kicked out of her flat if she didn't get the bloody refund because her mother was too stubborn to pay her back for the fireworks that weren't used because her son had soaked them in water. It certainly wasn't Hazel's fault that he was four and couldn't read the warning label and her mother hadn't kept them out his reach, but that fact didn't especially seem to matter.
She took a deep breath and tried to avoid making direct eye contact with Finnigan. She knew that the minute she did it would be all over. Hazel didn't know what had gotten into her since the party, but she'd been on edge, her palms had been getting sweaty when she thought about him, and he'd been on her mind a lot. She had no idea what had gotten into her. Well, she did, but she was in absolute and diligent denial of it. She simply would not allow herself to have feelings for, or be affected by him. Just telling herself that didn't seem to be helping though.
"Look, I need a bloody refund," she began and tried to ignore the obvious tone of desperation that had crept into her voice. Her landlord had given her a day to come up with the money before he sent her packing and Hazel didn't know where she'd go. She hadn't really kept in contact with any friends from school. During the war it had been bad enough, but after… everything was still so shattered and people had scattered, trying to rebuild and start new lives. She could always go back home… but to admit defeat in front of her picture-perfect mother was something that upset Hazel's stomach.
Finnigan sighed and rolled his eyes upward as he stood straight. He braced himself on the counter and leaned forward until there was less than a foot of space between their face. Hazel tried not to think about how easy it would be to learn forward just a few inches and kiss him. And how much her heart sped up at the thought.
"I've told ya, I can't give ya one because it says on the bloody packaging that the fireworks aren't impervious to water." Either she was imagining things, or Hazel heard a slight hesitation in his voice. She couldn't think of any reason why there would be, but she still heard it the tone. In a brief stroke of desperation, she decided to go for a different approach. Hard-balling it didn't seem to be working, and this was the only other option she could think of.
"Finnigan… Seamus," she began, thinking and choosing her words as carefully as possible. She figured it would be a good idea to start using his first name. Maybe it would help make him feel more sympathetic to her problem. "Look. I know you don't want to give me the damn refund. I know I don't deserve it, especially after everything I've said." Hazel winced. It wasn't her finest, or proudest, moment when she'd been so arrogant and rude. She wasn't like that, but desperation made people ugly, she'd learned over the years. "But I need it," she whispered. "More than you know."
Hazel pushed her hair out of her face and looked anywhere but at Seamus. It was mortifying to have to admit that. But she'd lost her job, and her mother wasn't willing to help her out even the slightest while she worked on getting back on her feet. Honesty was her last resort, and if even this didn't work, well, Seamus was a lot more cold-hearted than she thought and she had officially run out of options.
A/N: sorry guys, I know it's a bit filler-y bu tI wanted to get it out and to be honest, this chapter was really tough for me to write. Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated, I don;t know how I feel about it the result. :/ And thank you to all my lovely readers, seeing the 'read' numbers go up and getting reviews really brightens my day! :)

As pet people, it's hard to imagine that there are others out there who don't love animals the way we do. But yes, they do exist. So when it comes to dating these types, what's the best way to go about putting your pet love on the table?
We asked dog etiquette expert Charlotte Reed, the author of The Miss Fido Manners Complete Book of Dog Etiquette, for her best advice on addressing this dilemma. "Don't necessarily whip out pictures of your pet on the first date, even if it is the love of your life," she advises. "As you go through the dating process, you'll learn each other's likes and dislikes."
Reed says that eventually, your mate will see that you have a dog or cat, and realize what it means to you. "Once you're in a relationship, there are things you can work on together," she shares. "There's room for compromises."
Once you get serious, though, there are habits that may bug your partner. "People don't necessarily like dogs sleeping in bed with them." She suggests meeting halfway – possibly buying a bed for your dog, or moving it to the foot of the bed when it's time to sleep. "You have to be respectful of your mate's feelings," Reed says. "And your dog will get the hang of it."
How about kissing...your pet? "I understand why people kiss their pets and vice versa; it's a sign of respect," says Reed. "But remember, pets do have bacteria in their mouths. In that case, it's fair for your partner to ask you to stop – he or she has to kiss you, too!"
Some pet problems, like pet allergies, aren't entirely avoidable, though. But tolerating pets through the sniffles could be a positive sign. "Maybe your partner will consider allergy shots for you as you get more serious," says Reed. Now that's true puppy love!
How would you deal with this situation? Leave your suggestion in the comments below!

Snowshoe Mountain extending season into April
SNOWSHOE, W.Va. — Snowshoe Mountain has received close to 30 inches of fresh powder in the last seven days. With so much new snow, the resort announced that it will plan to open the slopes for an extended celebration weekend, Saturday and Sunday, April 5-6. Snowshoe will close temporarily on its original scheduled date, Sunday, March 30. The resort will then re-open for the bonus weekend, Saturday and Sunday, April 5-6.
Snowshoe is also announcing the return of the wildly-popular "Ridiculous Pass Sale" to start on Tuesday, Feb. 18. With a price starting at just $199, pass holders get unlimited skiing and riding, valid for March of 2014 and all of the 2014-2015 winter ski season, with no blackouts.
"The Ridiculous Pass is the best ski deal out there and it was so incredibly popular last year that we had to bring it back this year," explains Dave Dekema, marketing director, Snowshoe Mountain. "You get all of March and our extended April ski days, to ski and ride this season plus all of next winter, with no blackout dates, for the price of what you might otherwise spend over a long weekend. It's too good to pass up—the value is ridiculous."
The Ridiculous Pass is valid for skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels, affinity and age groups- adults, students, seniors, military, children and teenagers. Children, ages 6 and under, and seniors, ages 75 and over, ski free next season. The sale runs just 11 days, February 18 through February 28. In comparison, the full retail price of an unrestricted 2013/2014 adult season pass at Snowshoe is $449. The $199 sale will only last the first two days of the sale (February 18th and 19th) starting February 20th the price jumps $5 each day.
The resort was originally set to close Sunday, March 30, but officials feel the conditions are prime for epic spring skiing and riding at the Mid-Atlantic's #1 winter resort.
"For the second winter in a row we're watching fantastic snow conditions building into March. It has literally snowed every day for a week, with 14 inches in one day alone," explains Dave Dekema, marketing director, Snowshoe Mountain. "This is a skier's dream. We are beyond excited to offer our guests extra big thanks for an outstanding winter season."
In addition to great skiing and riding, the celebration weekend event will include live music, outdoor grills, Village games and activities for families, pool parties and spring prize giveaways.
During the extended weekend, single day lift tickets will be priced at $40 in appreciation of the 40th Anniversary winter season. In addition, Snowshoe will offer a Buy One, Get One FREE lift ticket special. The resort has extended its value season pricing for all lodging options for this additional weekend.

The creativity has not been flowing well in the last few weeks and I know well enough to be gentle with it, not force it and allow some freewheeling playtime. At the weekend I came across my old wax pot – a gift from Adrian about fourteen years ago when I used it for silk batik. It had some beeswax in, so I fired it up and dug out a collage box of bits and pieces. This is what I came up with (click for a larger image).
I coloured the tag with Distress Inks (Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge) and stamped a script from the Edwardian Gentleman plate in the background. I stamped the man onto tissue paper and stuck all the elements down with the hot beeswax. I put quite a dollop of wax on the top and let it cool enough to stamp into with a crackle stamp, then when it had hardened, I went round the edges with a little gold, red and blue Inka Gold to highlight the texture. The little propellor actually spins round, but I could do with a long fastener as it has popped off the wax a couple of times and will probably come off again if I don't fix it in place.
So I'm feeling quite pleased that I managed to get some playtime in. I did come up with some other bits and pieces too, but I'm keeping those for a Craft Stamper article for June so you'll have to wait a while to see those.

Manchester, N.H. - The Holy Cross Men's Crew team opened up fall competition with a win Saturday in Manchester, N.H. The Varsity Eight won the Men's Open by seven seconds over a team from MIT.

This marks the first time the Varsity eight competed this fall. The winning time of 14:59 barely broke the 15 minute mark, but was more than enough to take the competition.
The winning Varsity Eight wasn't the only entry for Holy Cross in that competition. Another eight man entry took fifth on the day with a time of 15:17 also got off to a solid start for the fall season. The team was made up of seniors Matthew Drago (Western Springs, Ill.), Thomas Meehan (Ambler, Pa.), James Staley (Walpole, Mass.), juniors Will Bogdanowicz (Chesapeake, Va.), Chris Lynett (Scranton, Pa.), sophomore Christopher Sieck (Haddonfiled, N.J.), freshmen Gaven Erlich (Rochester, N.Y.) and John Thornburgh (Indianapolis, Ind.) and senior coxswain Diane Imperato (Northbrook, Ill.).
In the Men's Open four competition, the team of Monte, Schwab, Crowley, Goulet and coxswain sophomore Elizabeth Garvey (New York, N.Y.) took second with a time of 16:12. A team from MIT took the victory from Holy Cross, winning the race in 16:00. Another Holy Cross entry in the men's open four took 17th with a time of 17:37. The team was made up of sophomores Stephen Hawkins (Odessa, Fl.), Joseph McDonald (Hawthorne, N.J.), Kevin Nestor (New York, N.Y.), freshman Garrett Pearce (Haworth, N.J.) and sophomore coxswain Michael Dean (Plainville, Conn.).
