I use this soap every time, it helps me to get rid of skin problems, my allergist recommended me this bar.I also use this soap for shaving purpose.
I no longer use conditioner and my shoulder-length hair is doing all right with gentle brushing to spread natural oils along the length and the alternating of the cleansers. I can even blow dry my hair when I really need to, but I usually let it air dry.It also works great as a body wash. (as it is intended to be for the skin) :) My skin is much happier since I have been using it and my son's eczema is better in control since he has started using it instead of soap or body wash.
I have dry, sensitive skin. I've tried a number of cleansers like this one (Cetaphil, Ponds cold cream, Boots cleansing lotion, etc.) and this one seems to work the best. It takes make up off well and doesn't leave behind a 'filmy' feeling if you just wipe off. If you do rinse with water, it doesn't leave you with a tight, squeeky-clean feeling. It really does leave your skin feeling moisturized and yet cleanses enough to get rid of the dirt and make-up! I'm very happy with this cleanser and will purchase again.
Used this when in the hospital then nurses gave it to me to take home. Liked it enough that I not only used it when I physically couldn't shower, but continued to use it in the shower. Really liked this product. CS

Breast augmentation is a procedure to change the size or shape of the breasts.
Breast augmentation; Breast implants; Implants - breast; Mammaplasty
Cosmetic breast surgery is done at an outpatient surgery clinic or in a hospital.
There are many different ways to place breast implants:
Breast implants may be placed either directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular) or behind the outer layer of chest wall muscles (submuscular). The type of implant and implant surgery can affect:
Your surgeon can help you decide which procedure is best for you.
Breast augmentation is done to increase the size of your breasts.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is usually done to lift sagging, loose breasts. The size of the areola can also be reduced.
Talk with a plastic surgeon if you are considering cosmetic breast surgery. Discuss how you expect to look and feel better. Keep in mind the desired result is improvement, not perfection.
Risks of any surgery are:
Risks of anesthesia are:
Risks of breast surgery are:
It is normal for your body to create a "capsule" made up of scar tissue around your new breast implant. This helps keep the implant in place. Sometimes, this capsule becomes thickened and larger and may cause a change in the shape of your breast, hardening of breast tissue, or some pain.
Emotional risks of this surgery may include feeling that your breasts do not look perfect. Or you may be disappointed with people's reactions to your "new" breasts.
Tell your doctor or nurse:
During the days before your surgery:
On the day of the surgery:
You will likely go home when the anesthesia wears off and you can walk, drink water, get to the bathroom safely.
After breast augmentation surgery, a bulky gauze dressing will be wrapped around your breasts and chest. Or you might wear a surgical bra. Drainage tubes may be attached to your breasts. These will be removed within 3 days.
The surgeon may also recommend massaging the breasts starting 5 days after surgery. Massaging helps reduce hardening of the capsule that surrounds the implant. Ask your doctor first before massaging over your implants.
You are likely to have a very good outcome from breast surgery. You may feel better about your appearance and yourself. Also, any pain or skin symptoms due to the surgery will likely disappear. You may need to wear a special supportive bra for a few months to reshape your breasts.
Scars are permanent and are often more visible in the year after surgery. They may fade after this. Your surgeon will try to place the incisions so that your scars are as hidden as possible.

Roland Deschain wrote:DB, I love Weatherspoon's for the same reason.
Under the bizarre, antiquated naming system mandated by the TABC Code, we have to call everything we brew over 4% alcohol by weight (ABW) "Ale" or "Malt Liquor" and everything we brew at or below 4% ABW "beer". This results in nonsensical and somewhat comical situations where we have to call pale ale at or below 4% ABW "pale beer" and lager that is over 4% ABW "ale". The State has arrogantly and autocratically cast aside centuries of rich brewing tradition by taking it upon itself to redefine terms that reference flavor and production method as a simple shorthand for alcoholic strength...
Our claim under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, maintains that breweries, like wineries, should be able to sell their products directly to the public. Right now in Texas, we cannot sell our beer at our brewery. We can only sell beer through a retailer or distributor. When people visit Jester King and ask to buy our beer, we have to tell them, "Sorry, that's illegal." Brewpubs are faced with an equal and opposite restriction. They can sell beer on-site, but cannot sell beer through a retailer or distributor. Texas wineries on the other hand are allowed to sell on-site and through retailers and distributors. We are suing because the State has no rational interest in maintaining special restrictions aimed at limiting the sale of beer.

Spiegler Rennsport Brake Line Kit Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R
Spiegler Rennsport Brake Line Kits are not only designed to improve braking performance, but also incorporates years of motorcycle road racing knowledge. They are designed to help eliminate clutter up in the front end of any racing motorcycle by routing only one fitting and one line to the master cylinder. The lower half of the brake line runs in front of the forks, this increases the length and eliminates binding caused by fork travel.
Spiegler Brake Lines are not only DOT approved but TUV as well. Along with these approvals Spiegler Brake Lines undergo an in house durability test where a brake line is spun for 35 hours at 800 rpm, all while maintaining 230 psi.
Most OEM manufacturers recommend that you replace your rubber brake lines every 2 to 3 years. Over time OEM rubber lines deteriorate due to expansion and UV damage. This leads to increased braking distances and possible failure.
Note: Image for reference only.

Well, I work in IT, and I am a "Client Technical Professional" (otherwise known as "tech sales", "pre sales", "solution consultant" and other variations less flattering), which kind of implies a certain level of familiarity or knowledge of IT on a technical level. But I am not really - I have had little IT in my formal education, and, worse, I lack the affinity and "feel" for the technical aspects of our work that make many tasks (like building demos or learning new products) so much easier for many of my colleagues.
This is not as bad as it may seem. While I do think a certain level of competence and ability is required (how it still irritates me when a manager, consultant or sales person proclaims his/her ignorance of all things technical as if it were a badge of honour), I feel very strongly that a non-technical view of our products and solutions can be very helpful, even in my seemingly predominantly technical role. A good example of this is how we position IBM Content Analytics with our partners and customers.

- How to Read a Study Record
Movement disorders such as dystonia, hypertonia, and spasticity interfere with or prevent voluntary movement. Studies have suggested that using biofeedback to increase awareness of muscle activation can improve motor function in patients with motor deficits. The investigators hypothesize that the daily use of a surface electromyographic (SEMG) biofeedback device for one month will improve motor function in children and young adults with dystonia, hypertonia, and/or spasticity. The SEMG biofeedback device is worn over the muscle(s) the subject has difficulty in controlling and provides vibratory feedback about muscle activation. Groups of children and young adults (ages 3-21), with dystonia, hypertonia, and/or spasticity will be asked to wear a small (approx 1 square inch) sensory feedback device on their affected muscle(s) for 5 hours a day for one month. The device will vibrate and emit a blue light when the muscle is activated. At the start of the experiment, subjects will be tested on the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS), the Pediatric/Adolescent Outcomes Data Collections Instruments (PODCI), and the Barry Albright Dystonia Scale (BAD). For one month, subjects will practice goals without device. After a month, subject will be assessed again and be given device to practice goals for a month. After one month, the subjects will be tested on the outcome measures again and return device.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2014 was recently passed by the House of Representatives, and one member of Congress wants to make sure that civilian disarmament is not among the programs included in the defense bill.
Representative Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) offered an amendment to the NDAA (HR 1960) that would prohibit federal funding for the implementation of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) for one year.
Remarkably, the House unanimously passed Kelly's amendment, and it was included in the final passage of the NDAA. Subsequently, Kelly voted in favor of the NDAA.
In support of his bill, Kelly made the following remarks from the floor of the House of Representatives:
Over the last year, I have been joined by over 140 bipartisan members of this body to express deep concerns with the ATT and to urge its rejection.
First, the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty undermines our Second Amendment rights by omitting the fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms and imposing a national "responsibility" to prevent firearms "diversion," thus opening the door to new gun control measures.
Secondly, the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty undermines our sovereignty by imposing vague, readily politicized requirements on the United States and inviting United Nations-led investigations into what U.S. policy makers knew or should have known regarding arms transfers that allegedly violate the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
Ultimately, the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty will stop the good from doing good without stopping the bad from doing bad. As then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, the U.S. maintains the "gold standard" of arms export controls. My amendment upholds our current policies as well as our enduring values.
Since March, when the Obama administration ordered the U.S. delegation to the UN to support passage of the Arms Trade Treaty, Representative Kelly has been at the vanguard of congressional opposition to the global gun grab.

The two challengers and two incumbents running for City Council had vastly different views on how the city of Watertown should become involved in cleaning up troubled neighborhoods plagued by deteriorating housing stock, drugs, crime and lower education successes.
The issue dominated Friday nights nearly two-hour candidate forum at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 1330 Gotham St.
Many of the 29 questions revolved around challenger Stephen A. Jenningss proposal for helping neighborhoods through a wholistic approach, with the city, Jefferson County, law enforcement, business leaders, the city school system and others coming together to help solve those problems.
With about 25 people in the audience, Mr. Jennings was also joined at the forum by the other three candidates incumbents Jeffrey M. Smith and Teresa R. Macaluso and political newcomer Cody J. Horbacz during what became a lively discussion of the role of city government.
The top two vote-getters will be elected to four-year terms on Nov. 5. It was the first and only scheduled meeting of the candidates since the primary a month ago that ousted two other challengers.
Mr. Smith, who has been on the Watertown City Council for a dozen years, blasted the idea that the city should get involved especially financially in helping neighborhoods. He insisted its not the role of city government, instead saying that nonprofit organizations, churches and other agencies already do that work and they do it well.
In promoting less government, Mr. Smith contended the state and federal governments unsuccessfully provide those kinds of programs.
The city does not have the money, Mr. Smith said, adding it would become the biggest expense in the citys history if Watertown were to take on that role.
In agreeing with her colleague, Ms. Macaluso, whos running for a second term, contended it would be too burdensome on city taxpayers. She also pointed out that Neighbors of Watertown Inc. already works on fixing up housing and is involved in other neighborhood issues.
In saying its the biggest problem facing Watertown, Mr. Jennings argued that his idea was not being presented accurately, adding that it would not take money to implement it. He believes it should be addressed through a collaborative effort.
Im talking about bringing people around the table, he said.
Mr. Jennings said he decided to make the proposal as a basis of his campaign after reading last springs report by the state comptroller that showed 18 percent of city residents are living in poverty.
So he looked further into the data and statistics, and concluded you could map out which neighborhoods are distressed.
Its not the city of Watertowns problem to fight poverty, Mr. Smith said, adding that keeping the citys finances in order and taxes down are the basis of his campaign platform.
One woman asked how the Board of Education would be a part of that type of effort. A domino effect now exists, in which low scholastic attainment leads to joblessness and that leads to crime and then people turn to drug dealing as a way to make an income, Mr. Jennings explained.
In asking Mr. Smith the question directly, another woman in the audience wondered why the city would not want to try to get involved with such social issues, since it would help city residents. Mr. Smith said he has compassion for people, but, at the same time, they have to pick themselves up by their boot straps and must be responsible for themselves.
With the proposal as the backdrop, the forum demonstrated what could be a tight race between the two men, since Mr. Smith topped Mr. Jennings by 45 votes and finished in second place in the Sept. 10 primary.
During the forum, Mr. Horbacz generally agreed the city should be involved in a discussion to do more to help neighborhoods and poverty. While differences with the plan came out among the other three candidates, he talked about other ways he would like to help the citys youth.
As he has on the campaign trail, Mr. Horbacz brought up proposals to make drastic improvements to the citys playgrounds and bringing back the days when the city installed open-air ice rinks in every neighborhood. He also wants the city to find a way to construct a dog park, he said.
Meanwhile, Ms. Macaluso seemed to be trying to convince voters that a change is not needed. She believes the city is headed in the right direction, with such big economic development projects as the redevelopment of the old Mercy Hospital, the historic Woolworth landmark and Lincoln Building on the horizon.
She said council members work well as a team and she relies on city staff for providing information for her to make the right decision. And she always looks to her constituents to get their views before she votes on issues.
I think Ive done a good job, she said.

His plate says it all
Michael and Danielle Haxton have made the move to New Hampshire, and Mike who ran Haxton's Liquor at Meadowbrook and coached the Hendricken tennis team, says he loves Sunapee where they now have a home. In particular, he cites New Hampshire taxes that he notes are a fraction of those here. The Haxtons still own a house on Warwick Neck that they are seeking to sell. (Warwick Beacon photo)
