Sharing Memories (Week 24): Hobbies, Lessons
This week I want to share my memories of childhood lessons and hobbies. As a young girl I wanted desperately to take piano lessons and ballet lessons. But we were poor and my parents couldn't afford them. So that never materialized for me. My sister wanted to take figure skating and she had to save her pennies to pay for her lessons herself.
I felt anger about my lack of lessons for a long time, then one day I thought "why am I whining about this?" so I signed up for guitar lessons - classical and folk. It was great fun and I loved doing it.
Then at the age of 41 I decided to take jazz dance lessons. I loved it! I took the lessons for a few years until my knee gave out. It was a dream come true for me. So sometimes we don't get our wishes or childhood dreams but we can make them happen later when we are adults.
What lessons did you take as a child? Did you enjoy them or hate every minute?

This was a good memory jogger for me, I also wanted piano lessons as a kid and wasn't able to have them. When I ws in my late 20's I started lessons and used my basic piano skills to teach the first book of piano lessons to the kids on my mission in Boliva and my companions who were more accomplished did the more advance students. It worked very well. I took more lessons when I came home. But when I married a fellow with 3 kids that was the end of my piano time. Some day I might pick it up again.

I loved history as a child. I still do and it was this love that set me on the path to researching my family history.
I did ballet classes but unfortunately I didn't grow tall enough to make it into the corp de ballet, I did love the classes though.

Let me shed a little light on the meaning of the title of this post. Some of my favorite things are hanging from the ceilings in our home. I love chandeliers, but have you ever tried to photograph them? I was willing to risk life and limb to photograph some chandeliers in our home. I climbed on a ladder and clicked at eye level. The lights from the chandelier blinded me, so I had to climb down the ladder without being able to see anything but a bright light. (I'm not very graceful even when I can see). Since it was hard to decide whether the lights should be on or off for the photos, I went up the ladder to snap with the lights on; down the ladder to turn the lights off….You get the picture. I can make the easiest job complicated!
Since our master bedroom used to be the formal living room, this chandelier matches the one in our study (which used to be the dining room). I told you I could complicate things. When I hung my mother's, my grandmother's, and my mother-in-law's pearls (real and faux) from the chandelier, my husband wanted to know if it was already time to celebrate Mardi Gras. He's either grown accustomed to them, or he's decided to give up trying to persuade me that this looks wild, because the pearls have been there for years, and I have not heard anything else about our bedroom looking like a Mardi Gras celebration.
I hope that these pearls (which were worn around the neck in a prior life) will count as my submission to the Prior Lives event. Don't forget to go to Prior on Sunday to find links to see the clever ways bloggers re-use all kinds of things.
I appreciate your visit to my blog, and I hope you'll go visit the other bloggers who have linked up for Favorite Things Saturday. You'll be glad you did. laurie

Dr. Anthony R. Cavazos's Ratings
Dr. Cavazos is honestly one of the the BEST Doctors I have ever treated with. He is Extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He goes the extra mile every time. And he has a remarkable bedside manner. He never rushes through our appointment. I am what's been termed as a "Complicated Medical Case". I cannot begin to count how many doctors have made me feel uncomfortable and told me they couldn't take me on as a patient. But Doctor Cavazos never even flinched. He is truly so warm and welcoming. You feel like you have known him for years after you meet him. And again, he is very up on all the latest treatments and medicines. He really has improved my quality of life. I truly would recommend Dr. C to anyone.

The Swiss National Park, Tarasp Castle, the Engadine Bad Scuol with Switzerland's first Roman-Irish bath, authentic Engadine villages with lots of historic buildings and a rich Romansch culture – these are just some of the many assets the Lower Engadine has to offer.
Here, you can immerse yourself in the warmth of the large indoor pool, relax in the jacuzzi or let yourself drift on the salty waters of the saline bath. The outdoor pool has the added advantage of superb views of the Lower Engadine Dolomites and Piz Pisoc, the highest mountain in the Swiss National Park.
The Roman-Irish bathing ritual combines two distinct European bathing traditions. While the Romans swore by the relaxing properties of steam baths at various temperatures, the Ancient Irish placed their faith in hot, dry air. Nineteenth century bathing culture combined these two styles in a single ritual. A soap and brush massage to cleanse the skin and stimulate the circulation and body creaming station are all part of the ritual. It ends in the dimmed light of the relaxation room where guests, wrapped snugly in a warm blanket, can bask in the beauty of the mountains of the Lower Engadine.
Discover the meaning of true relaxation in the Roman-Irish bath! Steam baths at various temperatures combined with the hot dry air of a sauna conspire to make this a real highlight.

11 U.S. Code § 551 - Automatic preservation of avoided transfer
Source(Pub. L. 95–598, Nov. 6, 1978, 92 Stat. 2602.)
Historical and Revision Notes
legislative statements
Section 551 is adopted from the House bill and the alternative in the Senate amendment is rejected. The section is clarified to indicate that a transfer avoided or a lien that is void is preserved for the benefit of the estate, but only with respect to property of the estate. This prevents the trustee from asserting an avoided tax lien against after acquired property of the debtor.
senate report no. 95–989
This section is a change from present law. It specifies that any avoided transfer is automatically preserved for the benefit of the estate. Under current law, the court must determine whether or not the transfer should be preserved. The operation of the section is automatic, unlike current law, even though preservation may not benefit the estate in every instance. A preserved lien may be abandoned by the trustee under proposed 11 U.S.C. 554 if the preservation does not benefit the estate. The section as a whole prevents junior lienors from improving their position at the expense of the estate when a senior lien is avoided.

It's hard to ignore the massive advertising and media frenzy urging you to "Save Big Money!" on the Friday after Thanksgiving. And with practically everything on sale, how do you know what's actually worth waking up at the crack of dawn for? Focus on only the best bargains so you're not tempted to buy in the heat of the moment.
1. Start tracking store sales in advance. Follow your favorite retailers on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest a week or two before Black Friday. Not only will they reveal details about sales before they happen, many stores will also offer exclusive discounts on those sites. In the past, stores like RadioShack have offered savings to shoppers who "checked in" with the brand on Foursquare, a common smartphone app.
2. Shop online in the wee hours of Thanksgiving. Many sellers activate their online deals the day before—typically between 3 A.M. and 6 A.M. ET on Thursday morning. So if you have your eye on a particular product or store, look early that morning to see if the savings are live yet. Any sale will usually hold through Friday. True, prices may go lower on Cyber Monday (and you're not likely to get an adjustment if that happens). But the odds of finding a good price are in your favor.
3. On Black Friday, start online. The prices on Friday can be awesome, but about 70% of Black Friday deals are also available online, and 78% of them come with a free shipping offer, according to research from DealNews.com. Check just after midnight on Friday morning for new deals that didn't go live on Thursday. Bonus: If an online retailer doesn't have a physical store in your state, you may not have to pay sales tax.
4. Go for electronics. If you have a Blu-ray player or smartphone in mind, Black Friday is the day to shop, both online and in-store, according to experts. In past years, Apple has discounted iPads, iPods and other tech by 10% to 15% on Black Friday. Television prices will be at their lowest, too. In general, the best deal will be on an off-brand flat-screen (like Best Buy's house brand, Insignia), which is often discounted more deeply than a brand like Samsung.
5. Wait for Cyber Monday to purchase clothing. If you want a new outfit, hold off until Cyber Monday. Soft goods like cosmetics, shoes and apparel carry bigger discounts that day because retailers don't want to compete with Friday's giant tech bargains (a $5 shirt may not impress you when it's next to a $200 TV). Last year Eddie Bauer gave 40% off on Cyber Monday, versus 30% on Black Friday. Also look for great travel deals on Monday.
You can shop the sales from your comfy couch—unless you want electronics. Black Friday is your day for those, both in stores or online.

Level-5, which has developed several titles for Square Enix, is working on a new multi-platform game called Time Travelers. Online in Japan, people are pointing out that the Time Travelers' logo "looks like Final Fantasy". While it's not a straight up knock off, there are certainly shades of Final Fantasy in it.
But, honestly, it's sometimes difficult to make a game in Japan without having shades of FF in it. It seems the same is true of logos.

Men's Gloves
A glove is "a garment covering the hand", but here at Rock/Creek we think gloves offer a lot more than just covering your hands. Without gloves you wouldn't be able to stay on the slopes as long, or throw snowballs at your arch enemy. Rock/Creek carries a large selection of gloves ranging from snowboard/ski gloves that focus on warmth and waterproof abilities, or fleece gloves that are perfect for hiking or running. Marmot, Mountain Hardwear or Outdoor Research offers a range of incredibly durable, protective men's gloves so check them out for the winter months.
The products in the Men's Gloves category have an average rating of 4.3 of 5 from 34 customer reviews.

- Transport Info
Centrifuge and immediately transfer serum to separate plastic tube
- Fasting Required?
- True
- Patient Instructions
Fasting at least 12 hours
Patient should be at rest for 30 minutes prior to collection
- Reference Range
A GH level of < or = 7 ng/mL on two or more stimulation tests is supportive of impaired GH secretion. A GH level of > 10 ng/mL with a normal IGF-1 excludes the diagnosis of GH deficiency.
In response to a glucose suppression test, a response of falling to < 2 ng/mL is shown in normal individuals. Patients with acromegaly fail to show this suppression and at times show a paradoxical increase in GH levels.
- Methodology
Chemiluminescent Immunometric Assay
Clinical Significance
Human growth hormone (HGH; somatotropin) is a 22,000 Dalton (22k) molecular weight polypeptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary. An HGH variant of 20,000 Dalton molecular weight is also present in serum. The 22k HGH is the predominant part of the total HGH in serum.
Growth hormone-releasing hormone specifically stimulates the synthesis and release of HGH by somatotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. Human growth hormone stimulates the liver to produce somatomedins, a group of hormones that directly promote growth. HGH indirectly affects many metabolic processes via the somatomedins including cellular uptake of amino acids and release of fatty acids from tissue stores.
There are many stimulatory and inhibitory factors for secretion of HGH. Inhibitory factors include glucose, cortisol, free fatty acids and somatostatin. Stimulatory factors include exercise, hypoglycemia, arginine, L-dopa, glucagon, histamine, vasopressin, catacholamine, slow wave sleep and stress. The measurement of serum HGH has been used in diagnosing hyposomatotropism and hypersomatotropism. The clinical disorders of hyposomatotropism include dwarfism and unattained growth potential. The clinical disorders of hypersomatotropism include gigantism in children and acromegaly in adults. Acromegaly is usually caused by pituitary adenomas and rarely caused by pancreatic tumors.
A single measurement of HGH is usually of limited clinical value because HGH secretion is pulsatile. To assess the clinical status of HIGH disorders, provocative or suppressive stimuli have been used. Provocative stimuli for an increase in serum HGH levels include exercise, sleep, insulin, clonidine, arginine, L-dopa and glucagon. For suppression of serum HGH levels, a standard glucose tolerance test is usually used. If hyposomatotropism is suspected a provocative test is used. If hypersomatotropism is suspected a glucose tolerance test is used. Blood samples can be taken before the stimulus and 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after the stimulus.

The kids had a blast! By far the smiles on their faces say it all! The kids from around here are small town (900 pop.) and this was so much fun to host for them. The parents kept thanking us for the opportunity. It is a great feeling to see the excitement in the kids' faces and hear it in their voices ... FUN! FUN! FUN!
We at Central Springfield LL have just completed a wonderful Pitch Hit & Run and we certainly thank you for the opportunity to host such a well organized event. During the planning stage I assured my colleagues that you had done this thousands of times and it would come well planned out, thank you for making me look so smart!
What a success! We had a great day today -- thankfully the weather was on our side. We had over 250 participants today and everyone had a great time. Next year we're going to break the record of participants, I'm telling you!
We had a great time and the kids loved the event. We're looking forward to running one again next year and hope to have even more competitors since the word is out.
Thanks for all your help. We had a great first time turnout for the Pitch, Hit & Run. Plan on us participating again next year with this. We are planning on making this bigger and better and incorporating it with Little League as part of its program. Good Luck the rest of the way and look forward to doing this again in '07.
We have received so many compliments from our community as well as those who participated in Sectionals. I wonder if your organization realizes what a great asset this event is to the community. I am very interested in hosting both local and sectionals again next year. Now that the initial event has been held I am seeing a lot more interest among (league) organizers and other youth leaders about future events.
I enjoy this event as it's a lot of fun, and it's great to see the kids have a good time.
Thanks for your help. And FYI, we will be inviting our overall winners from each age group to our game on June 23rd for a recognition ceremony. We're sending them and their families tickets to the game and the 4 winners will be throwing out a first pitch that day. We feel like the event was very successful. Very glad to have been able to host. Thanks again for all your help.
Thanks ... I went ahead and registered! I just have to tell you one more time how very much our kids enjoyed this and I would anticipate that now that the word has gotten out, it will just be bigger and better next year!

According to our calculations, you're probably reveling in the glorious fall weather right now and wearing all kinds of lightly layered outfits. (Whether they involve strong-shouldered jackets or slouchy boyfriend blazers is up to you!) But when November hits and the air turns from crisp to flat-out cold, suddenly your autumnal ensembles will no longer feel so seasonally appropriate. That's when you'll realize a simple truth: you need a coat, immediately. We know the pain of that sudden need and have found ourselves frantically searching for the required outerwear, only to be met with empty racks or overpriced options. Rather than let you, dear readers, meet that fate, we've rounded up a selection of five deliciously cozy and completely cute coats for your perusal. These options will not only provide you with sartorial shelter from the storm, they're also very budget friendly (all under $200!) and fashionable to boot!
Topshop Petite Vintage Fur Coat ($180)
Leopard-print pieces have been on our radar for some time now, and while we adore the spotted pattern as an outfit accent, it also translates purr-fectly into a piece of eye-catching outerwear. Topshop's interpretation is executed perfectly: in addition to boasting a standout print, we also love the coat's wrist-skimming sleeves. The slightly short length is a vintage-inspired touch that allows you to show off a rhinestone cuff or cheeky leather gloves (or both!). We could easily see someone with a love of old-school treasures-like Mary-Kate Olsen or Sienna Miller-taking this funky fur and wearing it as their everyday outerwear and suggest you do the same! After all, despite its inherently bold nature, a leopard coat is a surprisingly versatile piece! Take a styling tip from Valentino's F/W 09 show and pair your animal-print coat with a caramel dress and ruby heels or simply throw it on over black jeans and a t-shirt, per Isabel Marant's recent runway collection. Either way, you'll bring a little animalistic edge to your ensemble, which is always a good thing!
H&M Wool Trench Coat ($129)
Of our five selections, H&M's Wool Coat might be the most grown-up in spirit and style. It has such a European-fashion-editor vibe and is really the epitome of chic. In addition to adding a little continental sophistication to any outfit, this beautifully belted number is certainly on-trend for the season. (In fact, we spotted similarly cinched options on numerous fall runways, including Dries Van Noten and Bottega Veneta.) We love its boxy silhouette and subtle military-inspired details, a combo that comes across as casually sexy-especially when accented with tousled hair, bold red lips, and a killer pair of thigh-high boots. Finally, the oversized pockets offer a much-appreciated update to the trench-like design. All in all, this coat will take any effortless ensemble to the next level, perhaps that of a super-glam French editrix being snapped by the Sartorialist outside the tents!
Old Navy Funnel Neck Coat ($90) in Dark Heather Gray
We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised when we stumbled across this most directional silhouette at an extremely exceptional price. Old Navy's Funnel Neck Coat is perfect for a style-setter with a flair for the fashionably dramatic-as well as the functional-since the oversized collar allows you to keep extra-insulated with or without a statement scarf. The sash waist is another lovely figure-flattering detail and channels the hourglass shapes seen at the Prada and Louis Vuitton F/W 09 shows. Like our runway inspirations, we suggest you style this modern coat with the chic uniform of a working woman: tight-fitting pencil skirts and killer heels.
Eddie Bauer Duffle Coat with Toggle Clasps ($199)
A toggle coat has been a classic piece for as long as we can remember, conjuring up images of childhood reads like the American Girl series. Yet this is not to say that this cute wool coat is in any way saccharine or sophomoric (just don't pair it with school-girl plaids, please). Take a sleek tip from Y-3's F/W 09 collection, where toggle coats acquired a streamlined aesthetic when worn with loose-fitting silk pants and fedoras in monochromatic tones. Another styling option is to layer this hooded camel coat over more Agyness Deyn-esque selections like an oversized, ironic graphic tee and a pair of acid wash jeans. We'd finish said ensemble with a stylish unisex shoe-think a jazzy lace-up or a boyish brogue-for a casual, yet cutting-edge, look.
American Eagle Double-Breasted Duffle Coat ($150)
A college-girl staple, this duffle coat sets itself apart from the pack with plaid lining and anchor-embossed buttons that invoke the stormy romance of Newport or Cape Cod. But don't think that this nautical-inspired iteration is just for watching the white foam of the salty sea crash against the cliffs; it also translates to city-girl wear nicely! For such an inspiration, we look to the mad mix shown on the Marc by Marc Jacobs F/W 09 runway. Jacobs, the master of calculated casual, showcased a similar double-breasted shape styled with oversized tweed pants-and accessorized with belts, shawls, and hats (oh my!)-for a downtown, after-school look worthy of a very sophisticated audience. However you style it, it's sure to become a wardrobe essential for many years to come!-Liza Kaplan

Reviews for Pizza Pasta Toss
Sort By :
"I loved this recipe. The ingredients are simple but it tastes delicious. I substituted tomato sauce for the tomato puree. I would add an additional can of tomato sauce to the recipe next time, as it was a little dry."
"This was great, no leftovers! I have super picky kids, so omitted the peppers and mushroom. Still good."
"This was delicious. I used 3 cups of uncooked pasta as I wanted to make more servings. I added onion to the ground beef, mushrooms, and pepper. I also used 2 cans of Italian diced tomatoes instead of the puree and a 14 oz jar of pizza sauce. My family loved it. It was a nice twist on a goulash-type dish."
"This was just O.K. I thought the sauce was a little too bland. Not my favorite."
"We used the mini turkey pepperoni. I also used canned mushrooms because I didn't have fresh on hand. Loved it. Kids love this one too. You can make put in fridge for those active kids to scoop and heat when on the run."

Read: Ways The NHL Can Win Fans Back
At ESPN Insider, Craig Custance writes about different ways that the NHL can win back some their fans when the lockout is finally settled.
He thinks that free NHL Center Ice and NHL Game Center would create good will towards fans and potentially increase increase paid subscriptions for the services in the future.
Custance also thinks that the NHL should piggyback on the NFL's Red Zone channel and flip from power play to power play across all games going on. "Considering the growth of fantasy hockey, I think fans would love a channel that flipped from power play to power play around the league and also included shootouts."
He also thinks that implementing realignment and creating a play in game for the 8th seed would also be ways to draw fans back.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The automatic budget cuts set to kick in March 1st will have a big impact on the First Coast.
Not just for the military bases, but all of the civilian employees who contract with them.
"We're not a big corporate outfit," said Specialty Marine owner Mike Whalen.
Military action figures line the shelves of the shop in Mayport.
RELATED: Services lay out sweeping state-by-state spending cuts
For 24 years, Marine Corps Barbie has watched over a business owner Whalen thinks the government needs to take more seriously.
"I don't know what they think this is, or what kind of game they're playing, or what kind of circus they're running in Washington, but people's daily lives are being affected," he said.
Specialty Marine helps maintain the ships at Naval Station Mayport, and Whalen said the proposed cuts to military spending would devastate his business.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta released a statement Wednesday detailing furloughs and layoffs for civilians working on base.
"It's more than scary, it's people's livelihoods. People are losing their jobs today," he said.
Whalen knows of companies in Jacksonville already planning to close their doors because of the cuts, and he worries he'll have to downsize.
"We have never laid off anyone in 23 years, we'll probably go down to 3 or 4 folks. And I've never said that before today," he said.
RELATED: Navy paints even bleaker budget picture
With the deadline looming just days away, Whalen said it's the uncertainty that has everyone on edge.
"How can a government who cares about middle class America or small business go on vacation during a time when we are facing such a crisis as a country. Do you think they care about us if they go on vacation?" he said.
Congress is set to head back to Washington DC in 9 days to debate the cuts.

By COLLIN MCRANNSun Advocate reporter
Cash for Clunkers might be over, but for dealerships, the paper work has just begun. Since Aug. 24, the government has been paying dealerships for their collected clunkers, but, as widely reported, the payments have been a bit slow in coming.
"Actually, we've been okay. They've (the government) paid on a little over a third of them, but it's been about a three-week delay," said Danny Mower, of the Price Auto Group.
Much of the payment problem has stemmed from logistical issues which plagued the entire program since its first days. First, it ran out of money, which was replenished. But toward the end, the government's clunker website went down. Eventually, the site was restored. But with the massive demand and strain on communications, the government has been slow responding to dealerships and the public.
Additionally, Cash for Clunkers proved to be a complex undertaking with specific requirements for which cars could and could not be traded in. Some of the more confusing requirements for vehicles included fine details about vehicles like transmission type, or engine liter sizes. These and other specifics have also made the finalizing details anything but streamlined.
For every clunker processed, it takes a dealership around two hours to fill out the paperwork, which, in terms of time, can be expensive.
"I'm not exaggerating. When it first started, we got put on hold for three hours at a time," said Larry Monson at Tony Basso GM.
As time has gone on, the government has hired more people. As a result, transactions are speeding up in terms of dealership payout, but some larger non-local car dealers are still experiencing difficulties.
However, the program has been hailed a success, because so many people were able to afford new cars. But dealerships and manufacturers really didn't see the benefits as much as the public.
"This was probably one of the best stimulus packages ever-- for the people," said Monson. "It was the consumers who benefited most. We really didn't see a gross increase (in profits)."
With only four pending clunkers remaining at Tony Basso, Monson said that the company has been sending the finalized vehicles to Price Metal's scrap yard where the engines will be sized up and the bodies shredded for recycling. Price Auto Group has undertaken similar action. Both dealers agreed that the program was successful despite the confusion that surrounded it.

It can be difficult to come to terms with your skin type. We all want to have "normal" skin. But truly, using the right skin care products for your own unique skin type and skin concerns will bring forth your best, most radiant, and healthiest complexion.
The first step in deciding how to care for your skin is determining your skin type: Normal/Combination, Oily/Acne, Dry/Mature, or Sensitive.
Why are certain types lumped together?
Normal skin is balanced and hydrated with few breakouts. But even normal skin can become dull, dry, oily or broken out. Often those with normal skin types will have an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), considered Combination skin. With combination skin, what works on cheeks and neck could leave the rest of the face greasy and vice versa.
Those with oily skin types often see more acne than their friends with normal to dry skin. But a life with oily skin does not have to mean constant breakouts. And the upshot to having oily skin...fewer wrinkles as you age. Using products to manage oil production, without stripping away skin's natural oils, is the top way to keep oily skin clear.
Dry skin types usually don't have to battle acne in their youth. The flip-side? Dry skin tends to show wrinkles and fine lines sooner than oilier skin. Keeping skin clean, clear and hydrated by using rich (not greasy), emollient products will help to maintain a supple, youthful appearance.
Sensitive skin types are very individual and should be looked at closely before selecting skincare. Whether you have sensitive/dry, sensitive/oily or sensitive/normal, choose products with mild ingredients made specifically for sensitive skin.
The next step in constructing an effective skin care regimen is to determine any issues that need to be addressed -breakouts, dry patches, dullness. Just because skin is predominantly dry does not mean you will never have to deal with breakouts. And oily skin can develop dry patches due to diet, weather conditions and other factors. The key is knowing how to deal with these issues.
Lavera FACES Skin Care is designed for specific skin types. While FACES makes it easy to choose the products best suited to your skin type, they are also created to mix and match.
FACES Calendula is perfectly suited to those with Normal/Combination skin, regulating oil levels while offering appropriate moisture and anti-aging benefits. While Calendula Balancing Cream is created for normal skin, its oil-balancing properties make it an ideal night time treatment for those with oily skin.
FACES Wild Rose contains powerful, yet gentle, protective ingredients to nurture and hydrate dry and mature skin. The Wild Rose product line includes a mild exfoliating cleanser, highly effective in keeping dry skin fresh, clear and glowing. Wild Rose Liposome Face Mask works well on dry and normal/combo skin, and is even gentle enough for use on most sensitive skin. Wild Rose Eye Gel may be used by all skin types to reduce puffiness and hydrate delicate skin. For those with normal and combination skin who are looking for an extra boost of nourishment and hydration, try Wild Rose Liposome Intensive Night Cream and wake up with a soft, smooth, refreshed complexion.
Young FACES Mint offers antibacterial action while it calms inflamed areas and restores natural moisture balance. The line includes cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing essentials for oily and acne skin types. Mint Exfoliating Mask can be used on normal or combination skin types as a deep cleansing treatment. Mint Blemish Stick — Concealer is a spot treatment and concealer in one and can be used on normal and combination skin, as well.
Faces Aloe Vera is formulated for those with sensitive skin. Soothing, cooling ingredients pamper and protect. And always make sure not to aggravate skin by over-cleansing and exfoliating, or using too many products on irritated skin. The simpler you keep your routine, the better.
Following the line that coordinates with your individual skin type is a cinch, but don't be afraid to think outside the box on certain skin issues. Keeping skin happy and healthy doesn't have to be difficult. You just have to give it what it wants.

How to handle R.A Dickey
Matthew Cerrone , Lead Writer
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't believe the Mets and RA Dickey have started substantive talks about a contract extension. In fact, based on what I'm hearing, I'd say there is a 50 percent chance Dickey signs an extension at all…
The issue is vast, as I understand, with Dickey expected to seek at least a three-year, $40 million contract. However, the Mets are thinking more like two years and an option and significantly less money, according to previous reports.
Initially, the talking point was: despite being 37 years old, Dickey can probably pitch well in to his 40s because he's a knuckleballer. But, lately, I'm hearing people close to the team point out that, unlike Tim Wakefield, Dickey has been pitching more than 20 years, and he also throws significantly harder than any knuckleballer before him, so he has more mileage on his body than people think.
This type of talk, coupled with that gap in perceived value, coupled with how he'd be valued on the trade market (as a unique (hopefully) Cy Young winner making just $5.5 million next year) has me feeling like he could easily be traded this winter.
Sure, the Mets could simply pick up his option, keep him, see how next season is going and then trade him next summer (after the hype of the All Star game). However, his trade value will never be as high as it is now. At the very least, he pitches as he has, but next summer he'll be a year older and with just a few months left on his contract. Right now, I'm told by experts in the game to assume the Mets can get two top position prospects for Dickey, especially from a team like the Brewers or A's.
Dickey is awesome, and I hate the thought of trading him, but that type of deal is tempting when you consider the team's need for offense, their pipeline, and the quality of options on the next few free agent markets.

Helper's municipal workers, who have not seen a pay raise since 2009, will get a 3 percent cost of living adjustment.
The increase approved by the city council Thursday applies to full-time and permanent part-time employees.
"It's not inexpensive to train someone," noted council member Chris Pugliese, whose personal experience was the basis for that statement. He left the Helper Police Department to join Price's last year.
Aside from the chief, there is no difference in pay between someone who has been Helper's payroll for years on someone who has just come off probation, Pugliese said.
Elsewhere in the city, pay varies with job description. However, there was some concern that utility and clerical workers might also be tempted to leave for greener pastures elsewhere.
"We don't want to be a training ground for other departments," commented Mayor Ed Chavez.
Pugliese noted that in small operations such as Helper's, employees tend to have additional responsibilities that workers in bigger don't worry about. Small-towners don't have the clerical and information technology support that bigger cities have, he explained.
Helper runs all of its city services - including police - with 14 full-time workers and a handful of permanent part-timers and seasonal employees.
The cost of living adjustment is effective immediately.

Located in South Sudan, this landscape encompasses Boma National Park, the proposed Bandingalo National Park, broad pasturelands and floodplains, and the Sudd, a vast area of swamp and seasonally flooded grasslands rich in wildlife including the Zeraf Reserve. Containing expansive grasslands the size of Kenya and Uganda combined, the region supports an abundance of iconic African wildlife, including elephants, giraffe, eland, lions, wild dog, buffalo, and topi (locally called "tiang").
Boma-Jonglei is now East Africa's largest, most intact savannah ecosystem. The landscape hosts one of the world's greatest mammal migrations, the seasonal movement of white-eared kob and other antelope species.
In conflict and post-conflict areas, conservation can play a key role in diplomacy by increasing stability and providing economic opportunities.
Conservationist Paul Elkan, director of WCS's South Sudan Country Program, discusses his work surveying the new nation's vast wildlife herds, identifying its key migratory corridors, and helping to ensure a future for one of the great wonders of the world.
NPR reporter Frank Langfitt visits WCS's Paul Elkan and Mike Kock on a mission to locate and radio-collar a group of elephants on the savannahs of South Sudan. The expedition is part of WCS's work to protect the emerging nation's remarkable wildlife from poachers and development.
In an op-ed published on CNN.com about the elections in Southern Sudan, WCS CEO and President Dr. Steven Sanderson argues that a sound conservation and resource management agenda will be a vital part of a nation-building process there.
Despite a decades-old conflict, wildlife populations are thriving in Southern Sudan, where WCS conservationists have tracked astonishing numbers of antelope, elephants, and other migrants.

|Federal Disaster Declaration Sought
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 13 February 2013 08:03
Late yesterday, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory sent a letter to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) requesting a disaster declaration for residents and business owners in Watauga County who suffered uninsured damage from the severe thunderstorms and flooding that stuck January 30.
If approved, homeowners, renters and business owners could qualify for low-interest loans to help recover from the flooding. Local and state emergency management teams surveyed the damage last week and met with SBA staff last Friday after looking at more than 35 flooded homes and businesses in Watauga County to determine what may qualify for funding assistance. If the federal government approves the governor's request, it clears the way for SBA to provide low-interest loans to storm victims. The SBA is the agency that can provide low interest loans for homeowners, renters and businesses that suffered damage from the storms. The mass of thunderstorms that rolled through Jan. 30th brought torrential rains and flooding to the mountains. Boone got 5.3 inches while Deep Gap saw 3.7 inches and of rain and Valle Crucis received nearly 3 inches of rain.
But many are still waiting for action, such as Pamela Graham, still waiting for the DOT to work on a huge gash cut into the pavement on Carter Miller Road in Todd. Now two weeks after the flooding, the DOT has only patched a narrow strip over the washed-out culvert for her to get into her drive, leaving the foot-wide ditch, three feet deep in some places. She recounted her interactions with the DOT last week trying to get action that as of dusk yesterday had not come.

Rihanna on the cover of VOGUE November 2012 issue
"Totally unfiltered, relentlessly productive, and obsessed-about by millions—the supernova-hot singer is readying a new studio album and living a mile-a-minute life."
Read the rest of the Vogue article, "Rihanna: The Unstoppable Artist" over at Vogue.
The voice. The fluid dance moves. The personal style. The pixie. She photographs well to boot. No wonder I've been hearing a lot of my friends claiming to be real fans — of the music and the artist. I've heard her described as an exceptional performer.
Check out the behind the scene clip of Rihanna's November 2012 Cover Shoot over at Vogue.
"Rihanna goes far and away for her second Vogue cover shoot, photographed by Annie Leibovitz."
Putting on "Take Care" by Drake which features Rihanna in the background as I set about to wrap up this post. The blend of images, music and having watched clips of her live performance recently is intoxicating.

A rebuilt Norwood-Norfolk Central golf team opened the 2013 NAC Division II season with a home-course sweep while Potsdam and Massena suffered Division I setbacks on Monday.
At the Raymondville Country Club, the host Flyers shot their way to wins over Salmon River (4-1) and Edwards-Knox (5-0). Salmon downed E-K 4.5-.5 to come away with the split.
For the Flyers, Brandon Palmer (52), Jacob Levison (46), Kyle Bond (53) and Ty Cotter (48) swept both their matches while Ryan Thomas, the lone returning member of last years regular season championship team and the number one shooter in the lineup, had the low round with a 44. Austin Ward carded a non-scoring 55 as the sixth man.
Were pretty much starting over from last year but this was a real nice way for us to open the season, noted Flyer coach Dave Rishe, who will be counting on the steady development of a young squad that features two eighth-graders and two seventh-graders in the starting six.
Individual scoring honors for the meet went to Salmon Rivers T.J. Roundpoint, who played in the first trio and notched birdies on the par 4 third hole and par 6 eighth in posting a 39 to finish as the lone Shamrock to sweep both his matches. Jacob Bero finished with a 53 to split a point with Zach Allen in the win over E-K.
Hunter Tuttle had the low round for the Cougars with a 47 while teammate Katherine Curley shot a 64 competing as the lone girl in the meet.
The Flyers return to action on Wednesday when they play host to Madrid-Waddington and Clifton-Fine at the Raymondville course starting at 3 p.m.
In other Division II meets on Monday, Madrid-Waddington swept past Brushton-Moira (4-1) and Tupper Lake (4-1) and Heuvelton turned back Clifton-Fine 4-1.
After opening the season with an encouraging win on the road over Massena last week, the Sandstoners came up short to Franklin Academy 217-233 in their home debut at the Potsdam Country Club.
We shot really well up in Massena and we didnt shoot very well today. Thats golf, said coach Brooks Bigwarfe.
Leading the way for the Sandstoners was Dan Cruikshank with a 42 as the team played the original nine. Aidon Clouthier posted a 43 followed by Konnor Bigwarfe with a 46, Dan Stone with a 49 and Ryan McDonald with a 53.
Mike Sullivan paced the Huskies with a 41. Also contributing to the winning effort were Evan Hanna (42), Dylan Fleury (43), Davis Sprague (45) and Elliott Vanier (46).
The Sandstoners are slated to host a non-league meet this afternoon against Northwood Prep starting at 3 p.m.
At the St. Lawrence State Park course, the host Blue Devils put together five solid rounds to overcome the Raiders who were led by Hunter Francis who fired a 1-over par 36 including a birdie on the par 4 second hole. Kendrick Swamp finished with a birdie on the par 3 ninth in carding a 40 while Brandon Dobbins posted a 45, Mark Bender a 52 and Tyler Sunday a 53.
Conor Hannan paced the Blue Devils with a 37 that included a birdie on the par 4 third hole. Also contributing toward the winning effort were Rydy Binion (42), Jed McRoberts (42), Brandon Mullin (44) and Tristan Moore (45).
The Raiders will look to get on track this Friday when they travel to Gouverneur.

By DEBBIE PAPPASCarbonville
On Oct. 22 I received a call that an eagle had been injured on Highway 123 going out to East Carbon about mile marker two.
I went out to find an immature golden eagle that had horrific injuries. I immediately packed him up for a journey into Payson. I called my vet and arranged to meet him at his office (on his day off) to access the situation and possible perform emergency sur-gery. I drove to Payson and after the exam, surgery was performed.
The bird had a lacerated left eye. A broken bone in his left wing and his entire crop, (the pouch were food is initially stored after eating) was now missing. He was also in-fested with lice. I assisted my vet for over an hour in surgery, trying to make sense of the mess we were trying to put back together. An IV was started to administer fluids and pain killers. For as bad off as this bird was he had an amazing will to live and was full of fight.
After surgery, I chose to leave him there since another surgery would have to be per-formed in a few more days on the wing. The bird was not stable enough to keep under anesthesia for long enough to fix the broken wing. We watched him for awhile and when I was comfortable with what I saw, I came home. It was nearly 7 p.m. when I got home.
Welcome to a day in the life of a wildlife rehabilitator.
Whoever hit this bird did not stop or call it in to police. I am frequently called to that particular area. Unfortunately, eagles and other raptors are hit there more often than one thinks. Most often, the damage I see, including Sunday's event are caused by semi-trucks. Cars would receive extensive damage after hitting an eagle and it has happened on occasion, but semi's (usually out of "C" Canyon) and doing the most damage and not reporting what has happened. The whole situation is disturbing, but to just keep driv-ing is what bothers me the most.
This bird will be in rehabilitation for at least four or five months. It is not sure whether or not he will ever be releasable due to the eye injury; time will tell. There will be several hundreds of dollars spent on food, the surgeries, medications, xrays and gas back and forth to the vets and the person that did this will not have put out one dime. Once again I will try to come up with the funds for this, more than likely, it will be out of our own pockets.
I love doing what I do, but please, if you are ever in the situation of hit-ting an animal, please, call someone and take some responsibility.
A life may depend on it.
