Love the smell
Nice product for my legs!
By Flowergirl on October 22, 2014
Really love the fragrance.
I have used only a few times so I can't report if it actually reduces the appearance of varicose veins or arm cellulite, but I will say it leaves the skin wonderfully smooth but not oily, and my skin does not ask for more moisturizer later in the day. The scent is absolutely marvelous.
By Theresa on November 6, 2013
The skin on my arms welcome this product.
I tried this product years ago and am so glad that I purchased it again. The fragrance is delightfully stimulating, my skin absolutely soaks it up and it is invigorating

DALLAS, Texas -- P.J. Tucker scored 17 points, including two key baskets in the closing minutes, and the Phoenix Suns pushed the Dallas Mavericks to the brink of playoff elimination for the first time since 2000 with a 102-91 victory Wednesday night.
The Suns blew a 14-point lead in the second quarter and almost did it again in the fourth before hanging on to snap a 10-game losing streak that was their longest in 16 years.
The loss meant a 12-season streak of playoff trips for the Mavericks (38-40) could officially end with a win by the Los Angeles Lakers, who played at Portland later Wednesday.

For once, NASCAR let them have at it, boys.
The sanctioning body announced Tuesday there would be no penalty assessed to Tony Stewart for hitting Matt Kenseth's car with his helmet following their wreck Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway.
It was the right decision as the single act by Stewart had every racing columnist in the country proclaiming Bristol was back. In addition, the IRWIN Tools Night Race was replayed as one of the lead stories on ESPN's SportsCenter throughout Sunday.
If NASCAR would have penalized Stewart, then Bruton Smith should have paid the fine.
Early Monday, there was already a press release by the Atlanta Motor Speedway promoting a Tony Stewart vs. Matt Kenseth ticket special for the AdvoCare 500.
Stewart fans who purchase three Lower Champions Grandstand tickets for Sunday's race will receive their fourth ticket for only $14 while Kenseth followers can receive their fourth ticket for only $17. The ticket prices reflect the car numbers for both drivers involved in last Saturday's much talked-about crash.
You can rest assured in the promotions leading up to next March's Food City 500, the Stewart and Kenseth crash and
Stewart's subsequent helmet toss at Kenseth's car will be prominently featured.
On a side note, local fans who travel to Atlanta this weekend can attend a variety of sporting events. The Vols play N.C. State in their football opener on Friday, the Braves are home against the Phillies on Saturday and NASCAR takes top billing on Sunday.
Former Elizabethton resident Wade Day put on quite the driving display Sunday afternoon at Kingsport Speedway.
Driving the No. 96 Ford Fusion for the Highlands Motorsports team out of Bristol, Day started on the pole for the CARS Rev-Oil Pro Series Food Country USA 250 and led the first 68 laps of the race.
After an early jump on a restart, Day was sent to the back of the field. However, he quickly worked his way back to the front and by lap 135 had reassumed the lead from South Carolina teenager Gus Dean.
Day, now a resident of Seymour, dominated the rest of the 250-lap race with just five cars on the lead lap at the end.
"I just bided my time and got to halfway," Day said. "We didn't make any adjustments on the car, and when the track rubbered up, the car got better."
John Harrell of Surgoinsville won an earlier 75-race feature for the Street Stock feature
Greeneville's Allen Johnson is on the verge of securing the top spot for the NHRA Countdown playoffs at this weekend's U.S. Nationals.
Johnson, leader of the Pro Stock point standings, heads to Indy fresh off his sixth final round appearance of the season in the most recent NHRA event in Brainerd, Minn. The driver of the Mopar Dodge Avenger is tied for the Pro Stock lead with four victories this season and has a class-best nine No. 1 qualifier awards, as he gears up for the six-race Countdown.
First up, Johnson will try to score a first victory in drag racing's biggest event with final eliminations scheduled for Monday.
"We always look forward to going to Indy for the U.S. Nationals," he said. "It's a long weekend, and a little bit different of one than a normal event, but we always have fun there. The U.S. Nationals rank right up there, prestige-wise and money-wise, as the biggest event of the year. It would certainly mean a lot to win it."
Johnson has reached the semifinals of the U.S. Nationals each of the last two years and five times overall in his career, as he chases his first win in the historic event. He was fastest in qualifying at Indy in 2008, and has been among the top-four qualifiers in each of his last four visits to Lucas Oil Raceway.
The 13th annual Mopar Thunder takes place at Bristol Dragway this weekend.
Everything begins Friday evening with Mopar vs. The World. During this event some of the fastest Mopars will take on all comers from other car makes.
Action cranks up Saturday with racing action that includes the Bonus Race and Slant 6 action, while Sunday features competition in Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman and Slant 6.
Also on Saturday, fans have will be treated to match racing from days gone by as the Southern Slingshots bring front-engine dragsters to the legendary Thunder Valley quarter-mile.
There is also a Mopar car show and a swap meet.
Gates open at 9 a.m. on Friday, and at 8 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

Winesburg, Ohio - Sherwood Anderson
I am currently reading "The Twelve" by Justin Cronin, (Snagged an advance readers -unedited for content- edition in a small contest at MEGATON@megaton_us) .The book is great ,so far;a strong and "Kingly" novel,long. Picks you up and reintroduces you interestingly ;and slams you right back into the story. Also on the road or in waiting rooms, I have been reading Michael Crichton's And Richard Preston's "Micro"; very well -meshed speculative fiction thriller. As if this were not enough I am flying through "Cold Vengeance" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I am a big fan of theirs and their enigmatic agent Aloysius X. Pendergast. I know most -if not all of you -are familiar with ALL of these authors ,however if you missed, or have not picked up one of these three aforementioned titles;I really believe you'll like them. I was nice to be lucky and win this month; a little something extra in the reading realm thanks MEGATON at PostApoc.net(Great British and other Apocalyptic literature outpost) You'll like their website.Take care, R.S.S.
Read Mitch Albom's The Time Keeper, first time I've read him. I liked it a lot. Very quick read, but a lot of things to think about.
Also The Dog Stars, by Peter Heller. Post apocalyptic novel, it took me a while to get used to the clipped narration, but it works, because the main character is used to being mostly alone. I liked this one too, there was some heartbreak and sadness, but there was a lot of love and hope, too.
Now I'm reading The Orchardist, a debut novel by Amanda Coplin. Only about 20 pages in, but I am really enjoying it so far.
Was reading Dracula, first time reading it. I was really enjoying it a lot, and thought I'd be through it before the above mentioned books made their way back to my library where I had them on hold, but the library was nice enough to transfer them in from the other branch for me, so they arrived much sooner than I expected. So I put Dracula aside, but am anxious to get back to it.
I started The Twelve last night. I really like it.
Just finished Odd Thomas. Enjoyed it, butGoing to start Salem's Lot. I have not read the book or seen the movie. Although I have read a lot of King books, every time I thought about this one, it seemed like there an overdose of vampire fiction out there in movies tv and books; and I would read something else. Since vampire personas seem "to have lost their way" as of recent, Salem's Lot seems like a good choice, and right before Halloween.
there was enough foreshadowing in place I knew I would not like all the ending. Not that it was bad, just sad.

POLITICO, ABC7/WJLA-TV, NewsChannel 8 Honored with Walter Cronkite Award for 2012 Election Coverage
Arlington, Va. – POLITICO is pleased to announce that ABC7/WJLA-TV, NewsChannel 8 and POLITICO have been honored with a Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Television Political Journalism.
The Cronkite Award, administered by the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, recognizes distinguished work produced during the 2011-2012 election cycle.
Martin Kaplan, director of USC Annenberg's Norman Lear Center, said of the competition: "It was an especially strong field, and judges were encouraged that it was so hard to pick winners. The entries demonstrate that against long odds, TV journalists across the country are determined to get it right in a medium that most Americans still turn to in order to learn about their electoral choices."
The POLITICO, ABC7 and NewsChannel 8 team was recognized for in-depth, incisive reporting and their innovative use of technology. The team was also praised for using a cross-platform approach.
"From our perspective, it was more than a team effort. It was a three-team effort as we all banded together to achieve outstanding coverage of an exciting series of political events," said WJLA-TV General Manager Bill Lord. "Working together as one team allowed us to tell our audience how events would affect them in a way other stations just couldn't match."
The award recognizes "television journalism that helps viewers understand who the candidates are; what the issues and ballot propositions are; how electoral choices will affect their lives; how to assess campaign information, including advertising; and how to register, vote and make their own voices heard."
"POLITICO made an important decision in 2012 to expand our election coverage to television and live Web video," said POLITICO Chief Operating Officer Kim Kingsley. "We couldn't have asked for a better group of journalists to help make that happen than our partners at ABC7 and NewsChannel 8.We are extremely honored to be a part of this winning team."
Beginning with the South Carolina primary, POLITICO produced with ABC7 and NewsChannel 8 a series of live shows— dubbed 'POLITICO LIVE'—on the biggest nights of the election cycle. The programs aired on both television stations and were streamed on POLITICO.com. C-SPAN also carried the programs on select nights. Highlights of POLITICO LIVE's coverage at the Democratic and Republican National Conventions as well as from Election Night are available here and here, respectively.
POLITICO, ABC7/WJLA-TV and NewsChannel8 are owned by Allbritton Communications Company, which operates eight television stations in seven broadcast markets, including Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

The Situation Planning to Leave 'Jersey Shore'?
According to E! Online, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is hoping to make the journey from Seaside Heights to Hollywood sooner rather than later.
"Hopefully by the end of the year, I'll be in a movie," said the 'Jersey Shore' star. "There's only so long you can rule the reality world."
"Maybe another year or so of reality, and then I'm gonna graduate to movies," said the former 'Dancing with the Stars' contestant. "It's like Michael Jordan. There's only so long you can keep winning them rings."
"You gotta move on and try something different," he continued. "I love to be on camera. I love performing. I love entertaining so movies is definitely the next step."
Hey, I certainly don't doubt the guy. He released a rap song about his famous washboard abs, wrote a book and made an estimated $5 million last year through his show salary, endorsement deals and public appearances. He's also survived three seasons of living with Snooki.
We're clearly buying whatever it is that he's selling, so who's to say he can't conquer the silver screen, too?

Is this "Situation" guy truly that arrogant, conceited, and delusional off-camera and out of the media? You know, in his real personal life? Or is he just perpetuating that image because it worked on a reality show? Just wondering. Either way, I suspect he has about as much acting ability as Paris Hilton did.

Umm, I'm not? I think the guy is a moron, who stumbled onto fame. He will fizzle out quickly, seeing as there's only so much anyone can take of him. He causes alot ofproblems on the show running around ratting people out and gossiping. He's such a chick! This seasons whole focus is on Sammi and Ronnie anyway, he seems pretty irrelevant.

- Monday 07 FebruaryBy jnnj58
If only this moron had talent! That is the reality, hence the reason he is on reality TV. Most people tune in to watch him make a fool of himself and are not disappointed by him or the rest of the cast. Why someone watches a second show is beyond me. I guess they like to feel superior which is easy with this cast of low lives.
- Monday 07 FebruaryBy dnkrpd
It is sad and horrifying that this person, his castmates, his show, and most "reality" "sell-ebrities" are a reflection of what our society now values. Let's be honest - as a nation, we have sunk to a level from which we will never recover.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Tottenham are the latest club to show interest in Barcelona striker David Villa.
The 31-year-old has been the subject of enquiries from Arsenal also but Barca will not loan him out and will only sell for around £16m.
Liverpool were this week rebuffed in a bold attempt to take Villa on loan.
Barcelona told the Reds that they will not entertain the idea of letting the Spain international go out on loan and will only consider a bumper transfer offer to sell in this window.
Villa became a key member of Barca's side after joining the club in 2010 but since recovering from a broken leg suffered last season he has struggled to regain his place.
Chelsea were also interested in Villa but have instead secured the signature of Demba Ba from Newcastle.
The former Valencia star was part of Spain's 2010 World Cup-winning side.

Press Release:
SAN CLEMENTE, CA (June 20, 2011) — Monday, surfers worldwide kicked off summer by paddling out and giving back to our oceans, waves and beaches in celebration of the 7th Annual International Surfing Day, sponsored by Barefoot Wine.
This year, International Surfing Day boasted more than 200 events throughout 30 countries worldwide, and gave surfers the opportunity to do what they do best: surf some amazing waves.
The beach clean-up in Newport Beach
In addition to paddling out, surfers and beachgoers also celebrated International Surfing Day by taking part in various environmental events hosted by the Surfrider Foundation.
From beach cleanups to dune restorations, to youth surf contests, surfers and other coastal enthusiasts spent the day giving back to our oceans, waves and beaches that they love and respect so much.
"International Surfing Day is a great way to kick off summer," said Travis Ferre, SURFING Magazine's editor-in-chief. "We had great waves, amazing weather and we enjoyed our first three-day weekend thanks to it falling on a Monday this year."
Highlights from the seventh annual International Surfing Day include:
* Surfrider Foundation's Oregon chapters joined forces to host the third annual Otter Rock ?N' Roll Youth Surf Festival and Contest and beach cleanup.
* In Newport Beach, SURFING Magazine, Surfrider Foundation's Global HQ, and Barefoot Wine took over the Rusty House and hosted a beach cleanup, surf session and BBQ.
* Surfrider Foundation's Connecticut Chapter kicked off the day with horseshoe crab tagging followed by surf, stand up paddle and windsurfing lessons, and ending with a beach cleanup.
* The Colorado River Association kicked off a week of celebration events with a river surfing contest and beach cleanup in Glennwood Springs. They will close out the week with another surf contest at the Pueblo Wave Park on June 25th.
* Surfrider Foundation's South Jersey Chapter celebrated ISD with an afternoon concert, beach cleanup, scavenger hunt for the kids, lessons, demos, nature walks, tarp surfing, and various other conservation and ocean activities.
• In Ghana, the Black Star Surf Shop and Ahanta Environmental Club hosted a beach cleanup, dance party and art workshop using the trash collected from the cleanup.
"We raise a glass to toast the efforts of all the surfers and coastal enthusiasts who are celebrating International Surfing Day and giving back to improve the health of the world's beaches," said Jen Wall, Barefoot Wine's winemaker.
Since its beginnings in 2005 with only 16 domestic and one international location, International Surfing Day has grown exponentially. This year the Surfrider Foundation estimates that over 5,000 bags of trash were collected at over 200 events worldwide. In addition, more than 1,500 people joined or renewed their membership to the Surfrider Foundation on International Surfing Day.
The Surfrider Foundation, SURFING Magazine and Barefoot Wine make the 7th Annual International Surfing Day possible.

Challenge Cup: London Broncos made to sweat by Featherstone Rovers
Last Updated: 20/04/13 5:57pm
Kieran Dixon: Broncos winger scored two tries in Saturday's Cup win over Featherstone
London Broncos avoided a Challenge Cup shock although they were given a run for their money before securing a 24-12 success over Featherstone Rovers.
Rovers knocked Castleford Tigers out of the competition last year and only two tries a piece from Luke Dorn and Kieran Dixon helped Tony Rea's side book their place in the fifth round draw.
Featherstone set about their task with gusto early on. Huge hits laid out both Mark Bryant and Craig Gower within the opening two minutes. It was Rovers who made all the early running, prompted by impressive stand-off Andy Kain.
The hosts were simply unable to get out of their own half, and Featherstone finally took a deserved lead on 25 minutes, Ian Hardman squirming over after a series of thrusts near the Broncos' line.
London finally flickered into life after that through the likes of Dixon, but offered precious little creativity in attack and found the Rovers' defence as committed as their own. Indeed, Featherstone probably felt hard done by to only enter the break 4-0 ahead.
London came out with a modicum more enthusiasm after the restart, pinning back Rovers without ever looking truly threatening. The Championship side, well marshalled by skipper Liam Finn, showed no signs of tiring.
Huffed and puffed
But, having huffed and puffed for so long, the Broncos finally struck back when Dixon strolled over in the corner after a sniping run from Ben Fisher.
And within minutes the Londoners had eased ahead, Jamie O'Callaghan pouncing on 55 minutes after Michael Witt's high kick had unsettled the Rovers' defence.
If the Super League side thought that would knock the visitors out of their stride they were sorely mistaken, as three minutes later Featherstone hauled themselves level when Hardman muscled over for his second score after a searing break from Tommy Saxton.
The game had really opened up by now and it was London's turn to strike next, Dorn touching down after Witt's clever grubber through had given him space.
The Broncos were finally getting on top and stretched two scores ahead on 68 minutes, Dorn showing good strength to cross for his second try after a neat inside pass from O'Callaghan.
But Rovers still were not finished, Kain ducking and diving before racing clear to touch down with eight minutes remaining. It was Dixon who rounded off the scoring, though, darting over in the corner from a long pass from Gower in the dying seconds.

Defender McFadzean's impressive performances this season have seen him linked with a host of clubs, with Championship club Peterborough failing in a bid to sign him in January.
But Town are challenging for back-to-back promotions and McFadzean could be tempted to stay if they make it to League One next term.
"I just want to get promoted with Crawley and whatever happens happens," he told the Argus.
"If we make it into League One it could be a factor in me staying because there are a lot of big clubs in that division like Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield United, Huddersfield, Portsmouth and Coventry."

Kentucky Derby Death Being Treated as a Homicide, Police Say
May 6 (Bloomberg) -- The death of an unidentified Hispanic male at Churchill Downs racetrack, where yesterday's Kentucky Derby was run, is being treated as a homicide, police said.
Security staff at the racetrack called police at 4:50 a.m. local time today after discovering the body in a barn, a Louisville Metro Police spokeswoman, Alicia Smiley, said in a telephone interview.
"Upon investigation it became clear that foul play was involved," Smiley said. "It's an active and ongoing investigation. Our homicide detectives are still at Churchill Downs."
The deceased wasn't a jockey or an employee of the racetrack, Smiley said. Police are trying to determine whether he worked for a trainer or other person involved in racing, she said. Investigators don't know what the motive was for the killing, and are leaving it to the coroner to determine the cause of death.
Autopsy results are expected tomorrow, Smiley said.
The body was found in a barn occupied by a Louisville trainer, Angel Montano Sr., the Associated Press reported, citing Smiley. The barn is about 150 yards (137 meters) from where Derby winner I'll Have Another is kept, AP said.
I'll Have Another won the 138th Derby by 1 1/2 lengths. The three-year-old colt came through in the final furlong to pass Bodemeister, who finished second.

Like so many of you, I've been richly rewarded by the opportunity to spend my life working in higher education. My own college education was financially supported by donors I will never know. So, it is my pleasure to join in the OU tradition of investing financially in our great University. Your contribution and mine can help build on the rich foundation of Matilda Dodge Wilson whose example of generosity inspires us all.
In a poem written by Anne Campbell in honor of Matilda includes the lines,
"To serve the poor and hopeless is her gift;
Courage, and the unselfish will to lift
The broken-hearted to felicity;
Her gentle patience, her warm sympathy;
These are her priceless treasures"
In following Mrs. Wilson's example, we provide the opportunity for another generation of students to "aspire to rise."
-Kevin Corcoran
Professor and Dean, College of Arts and Sciences
I joined Oakland University in the summer of 1987. Thus, OU, and especially the Accounting program, have been a very important part of my life for over 27 years.
I have always felt that learning does not end when a class session ends. Accordingly, I worked to provide professional development and maturity experiences for my students, in particular by supporting student professional organizations. I wanted to recognize the many students who have been so active in those organizations. That is why my wife and I endowed the Dillon Accounting Student Leadership Scholarship.
I want to support OU and see it become ever more recognized as a truly high-quality educational institution.
-Buck Dillon
Professor of Accounting
Oakland University has been my home away from home for the past 29 years. I have participated in the All-University Fund Drive from the beginning.
When I started at OU, I was introduced to the Women of Oakland by my best friend and coworker, Rose Smith. The Women of Oakland has several funds to choose from. One of my favorites is the scholarship fund that is awarded yearly to women who are attending Oakland and pursing a degree to better themselves economically for their family.
It doesn't matter how much I give. I give what I can afford and if a lot of us give a little, that little becomes a lot.
-Ellen Keaton
Academic Records Coordinator, Office of the Registrar
I give back to Oakland University for a couple different reasons. First of all, my wife, who is also an OU employee, has inspired me to be more giving. She is a very compassionate and selfless person and has opened my eyes to the benefits of philanthropy.
Secondly, I truly enjoy working and studying here. I have obtained all of my degrees from OU, and I recently finished my coursework for my Ph.D. program. This university is a second home to me, and giving back is the least I can do for all I've gained over the years.
-Shaun Moore
Manager of Support Services, E-Learning and Instructional Support
The All-University Fund Drive (AUFD) is an opportunity for faculty, staff, and OU retirees to have an additional, lasting impact on the lives of our students. The OU student experience can be enhanced by your contributions to scholarships, research support, study abroad programs, and/or hundreds of other student-centered choices.
Since I started at OU in 1980, there have been many changes on campus: newer buildings, larger trees, many more academic programs. However, one thing remains unchanged—Oakland University makes a significant difference in the lives of its students. I was honored to be a small part of that as a faculty member; I am pleased to continue that support as a retiree.
-Kathleen Moore
Retired Associate Dean, College of Arts and Sciences; Professor of Chemistry
Each year employees and retirees have the opportunity to make a gift to Oakland University. As a retiree of the University I look forward to this opportunity because we can designate our gift to the programs we care most about and know there is a 50% match available to increase the impact of our support. Most importantly, it makes a statement that we care about the university.
Depending on personal circumstances the amount of each gift will vary, but it is vital that all of us show support during the AUFD. With reduced state support, it is essential for the university to increase donations and we can all help in that endeavor.
I encourage all faculty and staff to contribute to the AUFD and support the area that matters most to you.
-Pat Nicosia
Retired Director, Budget and Financial Planning
The All-University Fund Drive is supported by a network of volunteers across campus. Team captains and leaders tell own stories about why they support OU, educate their team mates about the AUFD and answering questions about the philanthropy process and its importance on campus.

AUFD Spotlight on Susanne Aeillo...
Name: Susanne Aeillo
Year: Senior
Major: Elementary Education
Hometown: Lake Orion, MI
Why did you choose OU? I chose OU because it was conveniently located for me to commute to campus. I also liked the education program that OU offered. I felt like it was comprehensive and well supported by the University.
What can't you live without at OU? I really couldn't live without the counselors for the Education Department! They have made the whole experience of transferring to OU and finishing my degree virtually painless.
What do you like best about your major or area of study? I love the field experiences that we are able to do each semester. It allows me to experience a variety of classroom ages and teaching styles.
How is your educational path different? I was attending Eastern Michigan University's Special Education program, but an illness forced me to leave school. After that, life just got in the way of returning. First I was too ill to come back. Then I had too many bills to afford school. I always planned on returning to school but the timing was never "right".
Eventually I got married and had children. As our family grew, my husband became ill and passed away. After raising my children, I actively began my return to school. Oakland offered the program that I wanted and was so close by. I knew an education was the only way to achieve my goal of becoming a teacher and the opportunities available at OU have made the return so much easier.
Why is the Women of Critical Difference scholarship award important to Oakland University? The award is important because it recognizes non-traditional students as valued members of the OU family. There are not many scholarships available for students who are older or on a different educational path. The Woman of Critical Difference award says to these students that they do want us to be a part of the OU experience - that they see us and value the contributions that we make to society.
How have scholarships empowered you? Scholarships have allowed me to continue my education. They have lessened the financial burden that all students face and given me the opportunity to worry less about paying for my education and focus more on the education itself.
If you could meet your scholarship donors, what would you tell them? I would tell them how grateful I am that they recognize the needs of strangers enough to donate towards their education. I want them to know that their acts of kindness really do mean the difference between a woman who is able to finish her education and one that may not be able to complete her degree. Just knowing that there is someone out there who believes in you enough to help support your education goals is a huge step up on the path to educational success.
Meadow Brook Hall Gifts and Donation (35122): Meadow Brook Hall is one of OU's treasures. You can help the dedicated staff and volunteers who work to keep the home in pristine historical condition. They might not let you handle the rare antiques or repaint Matilda's parlor, but you can rest easy knowing that your gift will help preserve this piece of OU's history for years to come.
ISSO Award Gift Fund (30127): The International Students and Scholars Office is committed to to building an international campus through service, support and advocacy. For students like Myles, not only is this their first stop on their road to an OU education, the office provides continued support during their time on campus.
Women of OU Critical Difference Scholarship (Fund #35008):
The Women of OU Critical Difference Scholarship supports single parents who are looking to go back to college after their college education was interrupted. Help these moms and dads go back to school to pursue their undergraduate degree with a gift to the Women of OU Critical Difference Scholarship!
AUFD Spotlight on Tristen Buvoltz
Name: Tristen Buvoltz Year: Junior Major: Studio Art and Painting Hometown: Warren, PA How have you benefited from the Veterans Affairs Office? Unlike traditional students, veterans have additional paperwork to navigate. The Veterans Support Services office offers support on applying for benefits. The office also serves as a social spot for fellow veterans to socialize and have a safe environment to speak about private issues. Career Plans? Upon completion of my undergraduate degree, I plan to pursue a Masters in Painting and eventually hope to run my own art gallery. What makes OU special? Oakland University is so special to me because it has given me so many amazing opportunities that help me grow as a person and because it is exceptionally veteran friendly! What student organizations or sports are you involved in? I am the former president of Student Veterans of Oakland University. I served over 1 ½ years as president and I still act as an adviser for the current president. I also went to Panama for a medical trip with Global Brigades and am an active member in La Pittura, a student art and art history organization. Do you work while attending school? While I do not work a regular schedule, I work as a contractor for a dental service management company which provides services to the military. I also temp for local dentists in the area. What is your favorite building? My favorite building is Wilson Hall. I spend most of my time there in my art classes and working on projects. What is the most memorable thing you have done on OU's campus? The most memorable thing I have done on campus was the January 2013 tailgate, my first planned event with the veterans. We grossly overestimated the amount of food needed and so we donated the leftovers to a veterans shelter in Detroit. It was so great to see how such a small donation made so many people so happy. This also cascaded to inviting some of the veterans from the shelter to an OU basketball game and a clothing drive to benefit the shelter.
Veterans Affairs Gifts Fund (30276): Consider supporting the more than 300 veterans and active service members on campus. The Veterans Support Services Office provides many vital services. It is the starting point for service members, dependents and veterans entering Oakland University and throughout their time here. They provide information on using military and veteran benefits, social and networking events for student veterans and host the Veteran Jump Start.
AUFD Spotlight on Myles Harper
Name: Myles Harper
Class year: Junior
Major: History, minor in Political Science
Home Town: Llanfairfechan, Wales, UK
Why did you choose OU? I had the choice to stay in the UK for college or move here with my family. It seemed like a great opportunity to get a unique international experience, and the folks in the International Students and Scholars Office made everything so easy. Given how welcoming and supportive the environment was at OU, it was the obvious choice.
What student organizations are you involved in? I am involved in the Student Philanthropy Committee (SPC), an organization that gets students involved directly in the philanthropy process. It's an opportunity to let OU's supporters know what kind of impact they make with the student body. I serve as the junior class representative on the Senior Class Gift Committee (part of the SPC), co-chairing with a current senior.
I am also a founding member of the Meadow Brook Hall Student Outreach Organization. The group is active in promoting the Hall on campus and informing students of how significant it is to OU's history.
What was the strangest/craziest thing that you've seen or done at OU? It's not quite crazy, but in the open space between the Dodge Hall of Engineering and the Science and Engineering Building I saw a girl feeding a deer from her hand in the middle of winter. It makes you remember that there's still so much wooded land for wildlife around campus.
What do you like best about your major or area of study? We cannot understand or evaluate today without looking at yesterday, so studying history is essential. Plus, the department is small and I like that my professors know me personally and support me.
What inspired you to start the Meadow Brook Hall Student Outreach Organization? It's surprising to see how many alumni come to the Hall and are shocked that they completely missed such a large building during the time they studied here. We want students to learn about the legacy that Matilda Wilson left for OU and help strengthen the ties between the Hall and the University, as it was when Mrs. Wilson lived there.
What's the weirdest thing you have seen at MBH or learned about its history while you have worked as a docent? I found out something recently about the Breakfast Room. If you whisper into a corner of the wall, the room is designed to reverberate and amplify your voice to the exact opposite corner. If take a tour of Meadow Brook Hall, ask if you can try this trick!
Is the mansion haunted? It depends who you ask. I would say no because I haven't felt any kind of haunting. Even so, there are plenty of stories and some people insist that they have felt a presence in the Hall!
AUFD Student Spotlight on Shelby Toft
Name: Shelby Toft
Major: Elementary Education; Endorsements in Language Arts and Early Childhood
Year: Graduating Winter 2017
Hometown: Sterling Heights, MI
Career plans: I plan to teach at an elementary school. Ideally, I would like to teach first grade.
What is your involvement with the Lowry Center? I just started working at Lowry for my practicum (like student teaching) this semester. By working at Lowry I am hoping to acquire more knowledge on early childhood education, more specifically how to observe children, which can often be helpful in identifying learning disabilities. Overall, I hope to gain practical experience for my Early Childhood endorsement.
What is the best thing about OU? Alternative Spring Break (ASB)! This organization has allowed me to make new friends and network with a variety of OU students and staff members. Being a member of the ASB executive board has taught me important lessons in professionalism, collaboration, communication, leadership, conflict resolution, and decision making. What do you love most about your major? I love working with kids! Every semester that I am in the elementary education program, I have a field placement that provides hands-on classroom experience. So far, I have worked in 5th grade and 2nd grade classrooms where I was able to take on the responsibilities of a teacher. Do you have a secret talent? Putting roofs on houses – complements of my ASB experiences!
Why did you pick OU? I like that OU has a small school feel with all the opportunities of a large school. OU has a wonderful Elementary Education program that I know will give me the knowledge and experience I need to be a great teacher one day.
Do you work while going to school? Yes, I work at a daycare near my home. I work part-time during the school year and full-time during the summer. I also love to babysit my cousins and neighbors.
What student organizations are you involved in? I have been a part of Alternative Spring Break for the past three years. I started as a Site Leader and am now Vice President of the organization. I am also a Student Philanthropy Ambassador and a member of the Alpha Lambda Delta Honors Society. I also plan to join the Student Michigan Education Association.
Do you have other family members that have gone to OU? No, but I am proud to be the first.
What was the strangest/craziest thing that you've seen or done at OU? It was my junior year ASB had just participated in Grizzfest (student organization fair). We had created a giant 5' x 5' cardboard school bus as a way to promote our organization. When Grizzfest was over, I had to take the bus home, but my car was on the other side of campus. I walked all over campus carrying the bus as people stared and laughed. I loved watching everyone's reaction.
Lowry Early Childhood Center Gift Fund (30090): If the excitement and energy of the preschool classrooms doesn't hook you, the cuteness factor is through the roof! Students like Shelby get valuable experience working with our youngest Grizzlies and Lowry staff provides a great early childhood education to the community.
Alternative Spring Break (CSA Gift fund #30106, make a note for your gift to go the Alternative Spring Break): Shelby can work with power tools like a pro, however, she gained so much more through leadership experience and service to others that can't be taught in classrooms. With service opportunities near and far, funds to the ASB can make you feel twice as good - doing good in your community and helping our students expand their world view.
AUFD Spotlight on Tareva Saunders
Name: Tareva A. Saunders
Major: Occupational Safety and Health
Graduation: April 2015
Hometown: Flint, Michigan
Why did you pick OU? It felt like home. It wasn't so big that I felt like I would be just another number. Everyone I encountered was so helpful and friendly.
Do you live on campus? I have lived on campus in Hamlin, Fitzgerald, and the University Student Apartments. I currently commute from Flint.
Do you work while going to school? If so, tell us about that work. Yes, I currently work for the Valley Area Agency on Aging as a Case Assistant for their Care Transitions program. My main responsibilities are data entry and quality control.
What is your favorite OU tradition? It's a tie between the basketball trip to IPFW (Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne) and the Meadow Brook Ball.
How are you funding your education? Scholarships and paying out of pocket.
How have scholarships impacted you? At times, I have worked two or three jobs to fund my education. Scholarships have made it easier to focus on my classes since I don't have to work as much.
What is the best thing about OU? The best thing about OU is the support system. Staff, faculty, and students are very helpful. I have collected a lot of mentors along the way.
What student organizations and/or sports are you involved in? I am involved with the Grizz Gang, Student to Professional Conference, and the American Society for Safety Engineers.
Is there any other thing that you can tell us about your experience at OU and how donors have impacted your education or experience? Donors have made a huge impact on my OU experience. I think donor contributions have a key impact on helping OU stay current in providing the best facilities, technology, and education so students like me can have a competitive edge in the workforce.
Annual Named Scholarships: Annual Named Scholarships give donors the opportunity to impact a student like Tareva through a scholarship of $1,000 or more. Choose the name and whether it will be a need-based scholarship or merit-based scholarship within a chosen school of college.

text: Tweet Image Source: Flickr. China can't seem to get a break from flooding this year. Torrential rains tore through China's southwestern Guangxi region between May 31st and June 2nd, causing flooding and landslides that killed at least 53 people. Rescue workers found about 20 bodies during the aftermath and unfortunately, findings included children. Three children, aged between 8 and 11, met their fate when they were walking home from school. They were reported missing since June 1st and it would seem they were swept away by the flood as they were heading (unaccompanied) to their grandparents' house. On top of the death toll, at least 11,000 homes, 15 reservoirs, and thousands of irrigation networks were destroyed, plus 200,000 people had to be evacuated. To make matters worse, more heavy rain is expected in the region this week. Updates will be posted as they happen. SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER Thank you, your sign-up request was successful!

A magical charm protects a small area of the UC Berkeley campus, it is said.
If that idea sounds incongruous with academia in general, then it's especially jarring to imagine that the supernatural safeguard envelops undergraduates studying unit vectors, metrology, emission mapping and other such grounded pursuits in Stephens Hall, headquarters for a diverse group of science geeks.
Yet that power is about to be tested.

Elderly woman awakes to men with guns in East side home
Frances Foerster, 87, robbed at gunpoint during home invasion
SAN ATONIO - Frances Foerster, 87, is recovering after getting the scare of her life during a home invasion on the East side.
Three men with guns barged into her Motel Drive home in the middle of the night and robbed her, San Antonio police said.
Foerster said she woke up around 2:30 a.m. after hearing noises and then seeing a light coming from her spare bedroom.
"I stood up by my bed and they were standing here, pointing guns at me and told me not to move," she said, re-creating the frightening scene. "They said to give them my money and my jewelry. And I said, 'I don't keep cash.'"
Foerster said she turned over what little jewelry she had -- all of it costume jewelry -- and the robbers took it, along with her television. She quickly picked up the phone and dialed 911.
The robbers, she believes, got into her home by removing an air conditioning unit from the bedroom window.
The break-in could not have happened at a worse time for Foerster. She's still grieving the loss of her son, who died last Sunday.
"I tell you, I feel like bursting out and crying and screaming, but I'm not going to do it," she said.
Foerster said when her grandchildren arrive to help, though, it could be a different story.
Of all that the robbers took, she said, what upsets her most is the loss of her TV. Foerster, who doesn't drive, said that often is her only link to the outside world.
Police did not immediately release a description of the robbers.

Cool cat sayings
Cat sayings have become part of our daily conversation. We humans are always using phrases like "he let the cat out of the bag," "curiosity killed the cat," "that guy is one fat cat." Where did these colorful references originate? My tabby Gatito suggested a Google search on the matter. We discovered several sites devoted […] [Read More]
Those remarkable tails
A tail is an awesome appendage in which any self-respecting kitty takes great pride. Containing bones and small vertebrae, it's a flexible extension of the spinal column and helps said cat keep his/her balance as well as serving as sort of a shawl to curl up in. [Read More]
Favorite feline hangouts
You can buy fancy cat beds and kitty condos, but nine times out of ten felines will turn up their noses and choose their own favorite spots. And the spots they choose can be mighty strange! [Read More]
Tragedy of cat hoarding
Animal Care Services recently confiscated more than 40 felines from a home where they had been living in unbelievably filthy conditions. From all appearances, the situation was a classic case of animal hoarding — a problem that seems to be proliferating nationwide. [Read More]

How to Make Boys Want You
If you have found this article, you probably want to be more popular with the guys. This article will help you on your journey. But hey- you're beautiful already.
1Take good care of your skin. Boys love silky soft beautiful skin.Your skin is the biggest organ in your body. Keeping it soft and smooth is important. Regularly shave your legs and underarms, and exfoliate your body in the shower to keep it this way.
- For your face, cleansing twice a day is very important, but don't overdo.Because your skin might break out in pimples or other blemishes. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub about every other day (varies on skin sensitivity), and wash with a very gentle cleanser after a hard workout to wash away the bacteria from sweat.
- But remember, don't wash too often and scrub skin of its essential oils. Then it will produce sebum and make acne worse.
- Also, getting a facial every so often keeps skin looking its best. You can do this yourself, such as applying a paste of egg white on your face for about 15 minutes; this will tighten your pores. But, don't do this to often too.
2Wear the right makeup for you. This is a wonderful tool to keep you looking your best. It is very important to be used subtly, to enhance your already-there features and to make sure you look pretty and fresh. But makeup can be easily overdone. Like too much eyeliner will make you look emo.
- If you have redness or acne on your skin, try foundation in trouble areas to even your skin tone and to make your skin clear and pretty. Or just spot apply to trouble spots to cover pimples. But the best thing to do is not to poke or pop pimples or zits. Only because if you do pop a pimple it will just come back. But if you already have clear skin, foundation isn't necessary.
- For eyes, use a brown eye pencil and just line the waterline- until the outside corner of your eye (this is only below the eye). Keeping this line subtle defines your eye and looks natural, but makes your eye pop. This color is a lot more natural than any other for liner. Add mascara to lengthen and define your lashes, and keep them wide-awake. A soft colored eye shadow occasionally will add freshness to your beauty routine.
- For lips, exfoliate often with a moist toothbrush, scrubbing lips. This keeps them red and SO soft. Apply a tinted, flavored lip balm to keep lips soft, pretty, and natural. Also, they will taste delicious. Go with a neutral flavor, such as mint or strawberry.
3Always brush your teeth and use mouthwash. You can use white strips if you want to make your teeth an even brighter white.
4Always wear flattering clothing. If you love your legs, (and they look good and shaved)show them off by wearing shorts often, and jeans that emphasize them. Vary on shirts between tight and loose, balancing them with your choice of pants. For example, don't wear a really tight shirt with skintight jeans. Balance, emphasizing your best features.
5Keep in shape. Staying fit and active is essential, but DON'T starve yourself. Exercise often, and perhaps join a sports team. Guys love athletic girls, and you will look and feel your best! Going running is a good way to stay athletic and developed amazingly toned legs.
6Wash hair with a good-quality shampoo and conditioner to keep it shiny and soft. Find a flattering cut, and mix up styles- blow dry and straighten your hair one day, keep it natural the next.
7Always be as kind as possible to everyone, and joke around. Be confident and true to yourself. Be bold and don't be afraid to joke around with the hot guy. Talk to as many people as possible. Be flirty, but not too flirty.
8Get out there. Join plays, sports teams, and do lots of activities to meet as many people as possible. You never know where you can find a potential BF. Even if you don't automatically think someone's hot, by getting to know them, you just might find the perfect guy somewhere unexpected.
9Thread your eyebrows to keep them neat and defined, but DON'T go overboard. Threading looks a lot better than waxing, and is less painful. Glasses- get a pair that you really like (black, nerdy type glasses are VERY fashionable right now and often look hot.) Just don't wear them all the time- only when necessary. Buy a scent you love and wear it.
10Remember, do not go overboard with what you are doing. Just be your self and have fun!Ad
We could really use your help!
- Remember confidence is the most important thing. So love yourself and he will love you!.
- Some people try too act cool around boys (which boys don't like), so don't try too hard to act cool around them.

Japanese Take-Out Meals Inspired by Star Wars – Kooky Star Wars Tribute
By Great White Snark | September 11, 2008
Bento is the high-fallutin' McDonalds Value Meal of Japanese cuisine. A single-portion take-out meal usually consists of rice, fish, or meat and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables.1
Yeah, sounds annoyingly healthy and boring, doesn't it? But nothing that can't be Supersized by an enterprising and talented Star Wars geek like Rena, discovered via my blogger buddy Eric at Geekadelphia. She crafted these artful, 100%-edible Star Wars bento meals for the Bento Challenge on LiveJournal.
Source: vingt_deux on Flickr
This bento Jawa features a body made from "two tiny sweet red peppers wrapped in philly style steak tofurkey, with nori ammo belts and hands" and a face of "onigiri [rice wrapped in seaweed] with carrot stick eyes."
Pita bread with white bean and chickpea spread serves as the Tatooine desert backdrop, and tomato moons occupied the red cabbage sky.
Appears to be missing a tofu and zucchini-spears Sarlac pit, but pretty damn impressive, nonetheless.
Source: vingt_deux on Flickr
A hardboiled egg Death Star floats in the forbidden rice and sesame seeds of outer space, serving as the backdrop to the Monterey Jack cheese Stormtrooper with nori accents.
Monterey Jack? I never thought I'd say this, but my lactose intolerance won't let me eat Stormtrooper.

Tanner EDA Joins IPL Alliance to Widen Adoption of Interoperable Process Design Kits for Analog/ Mixed-signal Designs
Move will expand Tanner EDA's commitment to provide customers with interoperability and ease of use
MONROVIA, California – September 14, 2010 – Tanner EDA, the catalyst for innovation for the design, layout and verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), has joined the IPL Alliance, an industry organization established to develop an interoperable eco-system for custom design by creating and promoting interoperable process design kit (iPDK) standards. Tanner EDA provides analog and mixed-signal (A/MS) designers with the HiPer Silicon full-flow design suite, a complete A/MS design flow from schematic capture, circuit simulation, and waveform probing to physical layout and verification. The IPL Alliance, comprised of major EDA and foundry companies, has devised the first open standard for iPDKs for A/MS designs.
"Tanner EDA's large customer base enjoys a robust and interoperable tool suite that delivers industry-leading productivity and interoperability for A/MS design,†said John Zuk, vice president of marketing and strategy at Tanner EDA. "By making IPL Alliance standards part of our product roadmap, we pre-validate that our tools work with the iPDKs delivered by foundries and IDMs. Our membership extends the ease of use and design acceleration that customers have come to expect from Tanner EDA over the past 22 years.â€
A PDK is a comprehensive set of foundry-verified data files including schematic symbols, component descriptions, parameterized cells, and callbacks used in a complete A/MS design flow. Previously, each PDK was geared to a particular customer or design, but each kit was also incompatible with the others, and expensive. Now, PDK development teams using IPL Alliance standards will need only to develop a single PDK for each process node, reducing development costs and support costs, shortening delivery schedules, and increasing design re-use.
"Tanner EDA has an excellent reputation for driving innovation in analog and mixed-signal design, which represent a growing proportion of IC design,†said Jingwen Yuan, president of the IPL Alliance and strategic alliance manager at Synopsys. "Tanner EDA's goals align well with the IPL Alliance's goals. We are pleased to have them join the IPL Alliance to deliver even greater productivity, efficiency, and interoperability to their customers.â€
About Tanner EDA
Tanner EDA provides a complete line of software solutions that catalyze innovation for the design, layout and verification of analog and mixed-signal (A/MS) integrated circuits (ICs) and MEMS. Customers are creating breakthrough applications in areas such as power management, displays and imaging, automotive, consumer electronics, life sciences, and RF devices. A low learning curve, high interoperability, and a powerful user interface improve design team productivity and enable a low total cost of ownership (TCO). Capability and performance are matched by low support requirements and high support capability as well as an ecosystem of partners that bring advanced capabilities to A/MS designs.
Founded in 1988, Tanner EDA solutions deliver just the right mixture of features, functionality and usability. The company has shipped over 33,000 licenses of its software to more than 5,000 customers in 67 countries.
