Avon Ideal Flawless BB Beauty Balm Cream Review & Swatches
Avon joins Team BB Cream with their new Ideal Flawless BB Beauty Balm Cream ($10) and puts the budget in BB Cream with its sweet little price tag.
We're plenty used to Korean brands offering the best and most brilliant BB Cream formulas for so much less but when it comes to cheaper BB Creams here in the US, well, the market is a little lacking. So when I run across one for $10 bucks I'm all over that as hey, this might be the one to thrill me!
Take a look!
Avon Ideal Flawless BB Beauty Balm Cream promises a 10 in 1 formula that contains minerals, antioxidants, and vitamin E plus SPF 15 to keep skin happy and healthy. Although that SPF is sorely low for my tastes….! Meh!
This promises to hydrate, even skin tone, reduce redness, conceal flaws, and smooth skin. According to Avon your skin will look even better AFTER the BB Cream is removed. Ha, fancy that? I've been using it near three weeks and I can't say my skin is looking anymore or better after use to be honest but I'd love it if with continued use that I might actually see some goodness!
As a BB Cream this is disappointingly sheer and lower SPF, well, all that adds up to not such a fab BB Cream formula. As a tinted moisturizer…well, it's ace however, it has one quirk I'll explain shortly.
Light Medium
This is a gel-like formula with a creamy texture that has sheerer coverage. Although sheer there's enough pigment here to perfect and conceal minor problems such as redness or darkness, and just generally create a more even, flawless finish on skin. I actually like the formula a lot as it brightens my skin up, eases my dullness, and provides lightweight, even coverage so my face looks, feels, and appears more flawless.
On the downside the wear time is a bit iffy. Since it is so hydrating I can happily skip moisturizer prior to use (or at least in the warmer weather I can). It absorbs fairly easily into skin and hydrates just enough leaving behind a semi-dewy finish that keeps skin feeling supple through the wear. On the down side that hydrating factor actually means it fades faster. I also feel like it has a knack for creating oil and making my face shiny after about an hour to two hours after application.
Typically my skin goes more combo in the warmer weather so I see a little bit oil and I'm drier around certain areas of my face. I think this might be more suitable for cooler weather as my skin is drier than and this might not produce as much oil in the cooler weather.
Overall, it makes for a very nice tinted moisturizer, actually, if you wanna be technical on some levels it is even nicer than a tinted moisturizer. Not factoring in the oil and shorter wear time this would actually be a great formula however, those two issues could create a host of problems for folks that want their makeup to stick around long and not make them shiny. Perhaps the Winter will prove a better time of the year for Avon Ideal Flawless BB Beauty Balm Cream.
Is it worth trying?
If you're skin is super dry! However, if you're more of an oily or combination skin type best wait until the cold weather sets in for a try out.
This comes in five shades and is available now at http://shop.avon.com

I really wish that an American brand would release an authentic Korean BB cream! Since they're all basically tinted moisturizers, what BB Cream would you say is the closest to an Asian version?
6/28/13 2:06 charlotte:
Thanks for reviewing this one.. I was just looking at it in a brochure and it had me curious.
The only one I have tried that has actually improved my skin is the Loreal skin beautifying BB. Not only is my skin smoother in texture and more moisturized with repeated use it actually improves my hyperpigmentation. I've used it as a primer under my foundation as well and it's great. Does not make me greasy, smooths everything out, and my foundation stays put all day.
I've tried a ton of different products for the pigmentation and they either do nothing, or irritate my sensitive skin. I wish I knew what was in it that is working so I could look for it in other products.
Thats too bad that it fades so quickly, but atleasst it was a light enough color!!! Most american BB CC creams come in two to three shades and they all have the undertone orange!!! 😉

Before he was deployed to Iraq with his National Guard unit earlier this year, Mohonasen boys soccer coach Corey Gregg asked his younger brother Joshua to take over for him.
Though Joshua was the head coach at Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk, he honored his brother's request.
It was tough to leave that program, but when my brother asked me to do it, I knew it would be one less thing on his mind, said Joshua Gregg. "Once he asked, I knew I had to do it."
The Mighty Warriors are glad Gregg agreed to assume command. Mohonasen is enjoying its best Suburban Council season in several years, winning four out of five league games at one point before dropping its last three games against perennial powers Bethlehem, Shenendehowa and Guilderland.
"We had a good bunch of kids coming in, and the seniors stepped up," said Gregg. "We just had to put the right guys in the right places."
The first indication that this was a different Mohonasen team came in a 1-0 non-league victory over Scotia-Glenville Sept. 3. The Mighty Warriors (4-6-1 league, 5-6-1 overall) struggled in their next game against Bethlehem, but a 2-2 tie against Saratoga Springs and a hard-fought 2-1 loss to Guilderland proved to be the springboard to a run of victories including a 3-1 South Division win against Colonie and a 2-1 cross-divisional win against Niskayuna " both Class AA schools.
"The guys have been very conscious of the fact that we haven't beaten many AA schools," said Gregg. "We're just trying to win as many games as possible."
Though wins haven't been easy to come by lately, Mohonasen is giving its Suburban Council opponents a run for their money. The Mighty Warriors led Bethlehem 1-0 at halftime of their Oct. 2 rematch before the Eagles pulled away to a 4-1 victory, and they shut out Shen through the first half before the North Division-leading Plainsmen earned a 2-0 victory last Saturday.

We asked readers on Ideal-Living.com, is 60 the new 40? Here's what two of them had to say:
"Yes, 60 is the new 40. But at 40 I was working and didn't have as much time to take care of myself-eating better, exercising, socializing, reinventing myself. I was retired in my late forties (fortunately) but feel that I have been in a better place and time being in my sixties. I'm 64 today and glad to be here… We have so much fun at night in our retirement… [we] exercise our brains with card games, socializing and [don't go] a day without laughter in our lives!" Mary Anne
"60 is the new 60. In general we are healthier with advancements for mental, coronary and joints. We can come up with creative ways to continue working in our profession part-time. We have all kinds of options for travel and leisure. And best of all, we can enjoy our lives and watch our children and grandchildren enjoy theirs. It's a great time to be alive." John
Sixty can be the new forty. Each of us has made numerous decisions throughout our lifetimes-how much we exercise, what we eat, and whether we choose to spend our spare time engaging in active or sedentary pastimes-that play a major role in determining how we age.
Those of us who have already passed the threshold of turning 60 are now faced with major decisions that, when we were in our forties, seemed far less consequential to our well-being. We now need to consider things such as: Should I eat that dessert? Should I sit around all day and relax because I am tired, or should I get out for some exercise and socialization? What kinds of activities do I need to consider that will keep my brain engaged and slow the inevitable aging process?
It is a great time to be alive. Today, we live in a world that does all it can to pamper us and to make us think that we are younger than our actual ages. We are constantly bombarded with advertising that leads us to believe that the "fountain of youth" is as close as the next libido pill. Pills will not do what good old Mother Nature designed our wonderful bodies to do in this world-be active!
The Pentagon of Health model allows us to look closer at some of the things that we should be doing in order to fulfill this notion that 60 is the new 40. This model calls for balance in five main areas: physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual.
Exercise regularly. Always remember that cardiovascular health is a top priority, and we all know why-heart disease is the number-one leading cause of death in the United States. Find something that your body will allow you to do and never stop looking for a variety of avenues to do cardiovascular activities on a daily basis. Many of us in our sixties aren't running anymore, as that was the big craze during our younger years, so walk. If walking is out, bike, and if cycling is out, get in the swimming pool. The best solution is to do all of the above and then some more if you can. Find a cardiovascular activity that fits your health status.
Also, don't forget resistive exercises. Lifting weights will always be good, but so are yard work and housework and swimming… and the list goes on. Many of us are still active tennis players and golfers, and we need to keep on doing those activities as long as we can. Perhaps your hobby is canoeing, fishing or kayaking. Whatever your preference, just get up and do things outdoors.
I keep reading that all of us should dance more in order to stave off Alzheimer's and other related changes in our mental functioning. As a dancer and musician, I'm quite familiar with the value of these activities and the brain stimulation involved. I believe that it is really about finding an activity that you enjoy; the benefits for brain stimulation will follow. Our brains need to be involved and engaged daily in order to maintain a high level of functioning.
Now we can communicate with people instantaneously on the Internet, via cell phones, etc. However, for the most part these interactions do not take place face-to-face, and we lose the most important aspect of communication: nonverbal dialogue, which accounts for approximately 92% of our total communication with others.
Therein lies our dilemma. We need to be active to socialize face-to-face, and we need to get out of our houses and about our communities for socialization to occur. The social model for learning is the strongest model there is. Once we stop learning, we have begun to put our brains and our bodies at a significant disadvantage for higher levels of healthful living. By all means, get out and visit others as much as you can. It will enhance brain stimulation and growth, and can have great physical benefits as well. Certainly all five components of this model are important for balance in one's life, but the social one is the one that tends to drop off at the fastest rate.
Psychiatrists and psychologists tell us that one in three people in the United States needs clinical help. There are many things that we can do to assist ourselves in this quest for overall balance. Perhaps the most important is to maintain balance in the other areas, and the emotional parameter of wellness will pretty much follow-barring the presence of underlying issues.
Emotional control is the result of many factors. Consider this: the hormonal balance in the body which controls our emotions can be altered by our lifestyles. Exercise, eating right and getting eight hours of sleep each night can contribute greatly to overall balance in our emotional lives. Increasing the hormones that help to make us feel good comes from achieving balance in all areas. A high level of benefit comes from exercise, as we produce more of the hormones that lead us to happier levels of living. Bottom line: get out and exercise.
This one is quite simple. Research is very clear that those who have spiritual components to their lives live longer, with less disease. Including a spiritual component in your life can be an important part of your quest to not only make 60 the new 40, but for 60 and beyond to be the absolute best times in your lives.
Almost two-thirds of the U.S. population is considered overweight or obese. Job number one is to determine if your energy inputs and outputs are balanced. One program that considers ideal food choices and adequate physical activity is the DINE Healthy software (www.dinesystems.com). You might want to give it a try.
Each of us has the opportunity to make choices that fit our personalities and lifestyles the best. I like the Chinese definition of the word "crisis," which is that it can mean either "danger" or "opportunity." I know that I have always chosen to view a crisis as an opportunity to get better and better throughout my lifetime.
What's your choice?

Craft Lake City sews up DIY businesses, one table at a time
Before Susan Petersen promoted her Freshly Picked baby shoes on ABC's "Shark Tank," before she sold her soft-soled moccasins to the Kardashian clan, before all of that, Utah customers bought them at the Craft Lake City DIY Festival.
At the first Craft Lake City in 2009, Petersen sold moccasins she had made from leather scraps. She was prompted to sew her own because she couldn't find shoes that would stay on her baby son's feet. She also couldn't find baby shoes in the colors she wanted.
Back then, the Provo crafter was also selling handmade baby clothes, bags and blankets. She had an online store, which was "horribly unsuccessful," she says.
But Craft Lake City customers' interest in her distinctive, soft-soled leather baby shoes helped her focus her business on that signature product. Early buyers helped her realize how her baby mocs held the imprints of their baby's feet. "I'm not in the shoe business," she says of her $60 moccasins. "I'm in the memory business. We're trying to create a product that will tell a story about that time in your child's life."
Petersen used to sew 30 pairs of moccasins a day herself. Now her company employs 11 full-time employees, including the two sewers she first hired. Her moccasins are made in factories in California and Ohio, then shipped out of a Utah County warehouse.
Now that she has created something of a moccasin empire Freshly Picked has grown from $10,000 in sales in 2010 to $1 million in sales in 2013 Petersen remains committed to Craft Lake City.
This year's DIY festival, which is expected to draw more than 35,000 people, opens Friday night and continues Saturday at the Gallivan Center. Beyond local crafts, the festival features science and technology exhibits, a kids' crafting area, a busking lounge, two music stages and food vendors.
In many ways, Petersen's business story underscores the success of Craft Lake City as a business incubator. The festival offers a way to meet customers and gain feedback, Petersen says, but it also creates a network for vendors. "Crafting can be such a lonely job at times, because you're working by yourself in a vacuum," she says.
In addition, Craft Lake City bridges the gap between Utah's bifurcated DIY cultures, says founder Angela Brown, editor of SLUG magazine. The festival attracts vendors who might draw upon pioneer-era skills learned at the local LDS wardhouse, who can be seen sharing tips and techniques across a table with a crafting hipster with tattoo sleeves.
Brown remembers attending Relief Society craft nights with her mother, but as a young girl, she wasn't particularly interested in learning how to can fruit. Now, Brown says, her mother rolls her eyes as she watches her daughter pay to take canning classes.
More than anything else, the festival aims to make the idea of crafting cool, Brown says. As always, this year's vendors were selected anonymously by a secret jury. More than 500 applicants vied for the festival's 220 spots.
In six years, Craft Lake City has grown from a SLUG event into a nonprofit offering year-round workshops and after-school programs. New this fall will be its first-ever vendor boot camp, in conjunction with the Utah Arts Festival.
One thing that sets apart the festival is the nonprofit's commitment to supporting local artisans. Another thing: It's free for customers and charges just $150 or $200 to vendors. Volunteers set up tents and tables, both to make it easy for new vendors and to maximize space on the Gallivan plaza.
Other vendors corroborate Petersen's loyalty to Craft Lake City. Brady Burrows, a graphic designer by day at The Mandate Press, promoted his business, Lars Love Letters, at last year's festival, selling cards and posters made from junk mail. He's passionate about papermaking, having taught himself the process and even building his own equipment, including a bottle jack press. He'd eventually like to expand Lars Love Letters, with products such as paper bowls, but for now festival customers serve as a focus group.
A first-time vendor at this year's Craft Lake City is Bradley Winterrose of Heber, who with his wife, Natasha, creates wood toys. He works in his grandfather's and father's workshop, using the same tools as he did when he worked with them as a young boy.
Winterrose is a firefighter, while his wife is a nurse, but after hours they build the toys, which they finish with mineral oil and beeswax from their own beehives.

That's because he often plays – and acts – much younger.
"You look at a guy like Rex and he is still having fun out there like a 19-year-old kid like me," Boston rookie Tyler Seguin told NHL.com.
While it is easy to forget Recchi's advancing age – especially because he has been highly effective this postseason as a second-line forward -- there is no way to forget what he has done for this Bruins franchise in the past three seasons.
Obtained, ironically, from the Lightning around the trade deadline in 2009 as a rental, Recchi has become a fixture in the Bruins lineup, resisting any attempts to phase him out in favor of younger players.
Recchi's unique blend of still-solid skills and encyclopedic knowledge of what it takes to win in the postseason (see his two Stanley Cup rings) is simply irreplaceable now that Boston has succeeded in its quest to get past the second round for the first time in almost two decades.
"He's a great veteran player," says Tampa Bay's Adam Hall, who played with Recchi during the 2008-09 season. "He's been through all the battles and brings so much experience to the table, but he is still a guy that you have to be aware of on the ice because he is dangerous offensively."
Only players and coaches that have been exposed to Recchi in large doses during pressure-packed situations seem to appreciate the specialness that the veteran brings to the rink on a daily basis – especially when winter turns to spring and thoughts turn to claiming hockey's grandest prize.
Recchi hasn't topped 20 goals or 50 points in either of his seasons with Boston, but coach Claude Julien still considers him to be one of the B's most irreplaceable members.
"When we did get him, he was more or less classified as a role player," Julien said. "But I think when he came in, he scored quite a few goals when he first showed up to us and was a real good player for us in the playoffs, a good leader."
That's the thing with Recchi, his teammates say. Not only does he know how to lead, he knows how to do it in different ways, applying the best method to the situation at hand.
"He carries himself in a way in which you look up to him," rookie linemate Brad Marchand told NHL.com. "He obviously has played for a long time, and he knows when to step up at the right times and when to say something. If there has to be something said to a certain guy and somebody isn't doing their part, he's the guy that will say something. That's not an easy thing to do on this team. He's one of those guys that everyone respects and sees that he is a natural-born leader."
For Julien, that moment came very early in his time with Recchi. That first season, the Bruins made the playoffs and swept aside Montreal in the first round before entering a back-and-forth battle with Carolina in Round 2. As that series dragged on, it was clear that Recchi was not 100 percent, yet he kept finding his way into the lineup.
But even Julien thought that streak would end in Game 6 against the Hurricanes. The kidney stones that Recchi was battling seemed to be winning and it looked hopeless for him to take part in that decisive game. Yet when the puck dropped, Recchi was dressed and ready to go – a clear message to his teammates about the price that must be paid to be a champion.
"What he went through, he just showed so much battle and such a great example," Julien said. "He's been good for us. We understand he's not the youngest player in the League, but his experience and what he brings to the table day in and day out is something this team really needs. Even this year again, he's been extremely good in the dressing room. The one thing you will never question about him is his work ethic and at this time of year those guys becomes extremely important."
Recchi certainly has rubbed off on Marchand, who is having a monster postseason. Marchand has been on the receiving end of several of Recchi's speeches this season – and a few more since the playoffs started.
"I always get nervous when I am talking to Rex just because of who he is," Marchand told NHL.com. "But any time you can get a guy like that talking to you about your game, you want to make sure you take every word in and make sure you learn from him.
"He's been through all the battles and brings so much experience to the table, but he is still a guy that you have to be aware of on the ice because he is dangerous offensively."
-- Lightning forward Adam Hall
Now, Recchi is playing that same mentor role with Seguin, who makes his playoff debut in Saturday's Game 1.
"I'll probably talk to him before he plays on Saturday," Recchi said Thursday. "But right now it's letting him enjoy practice, having a good feel out there, letting him have fun with it. You don't want to start talking to him too early. He's worked hard all year to get better and better, and he has. It's a great opportunity for him."
One Recchi knows about all too well after all his experiences.

|The description is a little unclear, but a trail has actually been built up from Williams Lake to the Summit. I believe it is no longer a scramble (on talus you can just walk the trail).
Williams Lake is also the standard route now as I was the only person of 20 or so that used the Bull-of-the-Woods route.

|The last section of trail that climbs to the summit is fairly new. I doubt that it has been maintained since they cut the trail. However, the Williams Lake Trail is the shortest route to the summit and it is considered the standard route. It's a very good, clear trail.

|The last time I hiked Wheeler Peak, I had a really hard time finding a good place to stay. Taos is not that close to the trailhead, so we chose to backpack into the lake.
Now there are some condos that were built right by the Williams Lake trailhead. You can start the hike straight from the condos and on the way back you can have a big beer at the Bavarian and not have to worry about driving afterwards.
I totally recommend considering these places to minimize driving and maximize fun and comfort!

|I know the post said camping is available. But specifically, if you were to break up the hike into multiple days, would there be sufficient places to camp with access to water? Or would it be best to say, hike into Williams lake and camp 100 yards away and then take a day trip up to the peak and back?
|Posted Aug 2, 2015 1:48 pm
|Re: Camping
Voted 10/10
|You'll find water at both the Williams Lake route and Bull-of-the-Woods Trail. The shortest option is to camp >100 yards from Williams Lake. The Bull-of-the-Woods is longer but not as steep. You can find water near La Cal basin from a stream that comes down from Middle Fork Lake. It's a fairly short hike to the summit from either camp.

White elephants, alien landing strips, and Croydon: welcome to the strange world of abandoned airports.
1. Castellón–Costa Azahar Airport, Spain
What's Spanish for White Elephant? Officially declared 'open' in March 2011, no commercial flight has actually left from or landed at Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport. Built at a cost of 150 million euros, the enduring feature of this freshly-deceased airport near Valencia is a statue in honour of Carlos Fabra, the local politician who was the driving force behind its construction. He is under investigation for tax evasion and corruption.
Original photo by Manuel Carballo on Flickr
2. Don Quijote Airport, Spain
If you thought 150 million euros was a waste of money, how about 1.1 billion? Don Quijote Airport (or Ciudad Real Central, to give it its official name) was conceived in the 1990s as an alternative to Madrid-Barajas. Fifty minutes from Madrid on a high-speed rail connection with Seville, it was Spain's first private international airport, and Spain's last - it went bust and closed in April 2012.

3. Berlin Templehof, Germany
Built in 1923, Berlin-Tempelhof closed to passengers on 31 October 2008. Until the construction of the Pentagon, it was the largest building in the world. It played a key role in the Berlin Airlift but over the years it became obsolete. Today 'Tempelhof Field' is the largest public park in the city and the airport buildings host events such as raves and fashion shows.

4. Croydon Airport, England
Said to be one of the three iconic pre-World War Two airports in Europe, along with Le Bourget in Paris and Templehof in Berlin (see above), Croydon was redolent of the romance of early aviation. Several famous figures, from Amy Johnson and Charles Lindbergh, to Winston Churchill, graced its runway, which crossed a road on which traffic had to be stopped by a man waving a red flag. It is also famous for being the first airport with air traffic control. Today, the old terminal Airport House still stands, decorated by a De Havilland Heron.

5. Nicosia International Airport, Cyprus
Nicosia International Airport was the most important airport in Cyprus but commercial activity stopped after the Turkish invasion of 1974. Today it is a no-man's land, a United Nations buffer zone from which both Greeks and Turks are barred.
6. RAF Binbrook, England
The UK has a number of old disused airfields just waiting to be turned into the next 'regional hub' or Mayor of London-named mega project mooted as an alternative to Heathrow's 11th runway. RAF Binbrook, near Brookenby in Lincolnshire was used by bombers during World War II and continued to be used by the Air Force until the 1980s. Its biggest claim to fame is as the set for 1990 flick Memphis Belle.

7. Gaza International Airport, Gaza Strip
Also known as Yasser Arafat International Airport, this airport served the Gaza Strip. Opened in 1998, 700,000 passengers passed though it a year, but not for long. In December 2001 Israeli forces shelled its radar station and control tower, putting it out of action. A few weeks later, they bulldozed the runway.

8. Stapleton International Airport, USA
Stapleton International Airport served Denver, Colorado between 1929 and 1995, when it was replaced by Denver International. In July 1997, a storm caused severe damage to its structure, so it had to get knocked down completely. All that remains today is one old control tower.
9. Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, USA
"Welcome to Earth!". So Will Smith greets an alien arrival in Independence Day. Scenes from the classic 1996 sci-fi blockbuster were filmed at the wonderfully-named Air Station Marine Corps El Toro airfield in the California desert, which looks exactly like the kind of place that an extra-terrestrial attack force would use as a rendezvous point on our planet. It closed in 1999 (not because of alien attack).

10. Galeville, Shawangunk, USA
The small military airfield in upstate New York was built during World War Two for use as a military academy. It had two paved runways and for some years operated as a civilian airport. It's now part of the Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge.

11. Johnston Atoll Airport, USA
Imagine trying to land a plane here! Johnston Atoll Airport is, as the name suggests, a small atoll in the Pacific Ocean, several hundred miles south of Hawaii. It was a US military base for much of the 20th century but closed in 2005. Built on a small island, it housed 400 men and had an underground hospital. Attacked by Japanese submarines in During World War II, it now lies in ruins and abandoned.

12. Floyd Bennett Field, New York, USA
Formerly one of New York's major airports, Floyd Bennett Field is synonomous with the exploits of Amelia Earhart and Howard Hughes. Its glory days over, it was replaced by Newark Airport in New Jersey. Although these days is a public park, it retains some of the historic buildings that were part of the airport.

13. Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, USA
Robert Mueller Municipal Airport served the city of Austin in Texas from 1928 to 1999 when it was officially closed and replaced by the Austin Bergstrom International Airport. Now built over, the only thing that reminds us that one day there was an airport here is the old control tower.

14. Kai Tak International Airport , Hong Kong
Kai Tak International was Hong Kong's main airport from 1925 to 1998, when it closed and all traffic moved to the new Hong Kong International Airport, 30 miles to the west. Surrounded by mountains and buildings, it was one of the world's most notorious for take-offs and landings, especially on the famous track 13, since the aircraft had to make a turn of 90 or even 180 degrees.

CHICAGO (CBS) –– NATO Summit 2012 is a wrap and Chicago's mayor is applauding the city's efforts to host the giant event.
"I can't tell you how many times world leaders mentioned how kind the people of the city of Chicago are, how beautiful the city was and how clean our city was," Mayor Rahm Emanuel told reporters at a news conference Monday.
Even with the image of thousands of protesters in the street, he said Chicago police kept things safe. Emanuel says the risk was worth it.
"I think hosting the largest NATO summit in 63 years' history, we have reached another milestone in the city's history," the mayor said.
The mayor said he also talked a little shot with world leaders about bringing business to Chicago.

Winter can be a time of quiet respite and solitary refuge. It can also be a time of celebration and challenge. Your wildlands offer all of these and more.
I was skiing on a glacier in Alaska's Wrangell-St.

In a recent post, we talked about the cold hard climate facts that skiers and snowboarders face in the very near future. But how much weight should we give the individual observations of snowboarders who say their snowpack is disappearing? Actually, quite a lot.

Skiers and snowboarders, here is what you should know: Most of what you love about skiing is going to change dramatically because of climate change.

Wednesday-January 2, 2013-First Leg Workout of 2013!
Wednesday means leg day and this Wednesday I completed my first leg workout of 2013. I normally look at my workout chart after completing my workout to have an idea of what the next day's workout will be. I did not on yesterday. I design my workout cycles to include 3 workouts for each body part. These workouts are performed twice during the entire entire six-week cycle. The second time they are performed, during the second half of the workout cycle, there may be an increase in reps, time in position, or resistance, but the workout contains the same exercises. The three workouts also vary in their intensity and I spread it around so as not to entirely burn myself out during the week. I was thinking I was getting away with one of the "easier" of my three leg workouts and found out that it was the workout with those squat thrusts and quad squats (3 sets of 35 of each exercise wearing 20 pound weighted vest) and consider this briefest of all my leg workouts on paper to my toughest. I absolutely HATE those exercises and NOW the five sets of 40 yard traveling lunges that I do as part of every leg workout when I complete my 3-mile interval run. Why then do I do these exercises? Because they are effective! And while I am still less than pleased with my legs, I have gotten enough positive feedback about them to know I need to keep doing what I am doing! LOL! That is part of this whole fitness thing, doing what is necessary and sometimes uncomfortable to get the results you want. Right now, the quads are aching and I am fighting the urge to get the "old folks" rub! However, I am satisfied that the legs had a very good workout. As far as the traveling lunges, I was searching for new leg exercises, and got the idea to use them when I found a YouTube video of Cedric McMillan doing them. Of course he, being the beast that he is, was doing them while carrying an Olympic barbell loaded with 45 pound plates! LOL! My next "tiny" goal is to do them wearing my 20 pound weighted vest! Nevertheless, my working a bit harder on my legs has led to my starting to recover muscle mass all over. So it is worth the effort.
As soon as I finished my workout, I was in the house for a shower and then out the door with my stepfather for some errands, shopping, and most particularly, to look at that zero turn lawn mower. So I got in a second leg workout since he sat in the car and I did the walking around. I notice that as my folks get older, that they seem to "enjoy" riding and are very satisfied to sit in the car and allow you to pick up what they need. Given the type of days we live in, I would much prefer that not to be the case. I encourage them as much as possible to get out and walk around. Incidentally, as soon as I laid eyes on that zero turn riding mower, I KNEW it was not for us! LOL! What an AWESOME piece of equipment, 50 inch cut, comfortable cushy seat, etc., etc. BUT $6,200! No doubt we will be on another trip soon looking for a riding mower.
Tomorrow is ab day. Hopefully, my more careful attention to diet will get them crisp(er) and clean(er) looking over the next few days. I want to start getting myself ready for this transformation contest. As I have mentioned earlier, I need to find some new challenges that will help keep me from slipping into complacency and mediocrity. I am actually getting excited about this transformation challenge because I know once I start something, I see it through and want to see it done to the best of my abilities. The other challenge is to make sure that I am pushing myself enough to achieve solid results without re-injuring my arm and shoulder. Although I have certainly added some of the pre-injury rigor back to my workouts, I must say that they are still, in many ways a shadow of what they were. I am confident that I can still kick up the workouts a notch and stay healthy.
Hope everyone is having a great HUMP DAY, and in some of your cases, return back to work and school day! Enjoy your Wednesday night!
Here is what I did today:
- 3 x 35 of those Squat Thrusts with 20-pound weighted vest
- 3 x 35 of those Quad Squats with 20-pound weighted vest
- Stretching Regimen
- 3-Mile Interval Run with the following integrated:
- 5 x 1-Minute Rope Jumping
- 5 x 40 Yard Traveling Lunges
- 5 x 40 Yard Bounds

That didn't take long.
It's possible the new season of "The Bachelor" peaked with the second episode -- because it's going to be hard to top the ridiculous meltdown one very drunk contestant had on Monday's show. Check out the crazy antics above.
So, what caused Victoria to spiral out of control?
After finding Juan Pablo Galavis talking to another contestant, she went crazy, sequestering herself in a bathroom stall while wailing about not getting to have a 1:1 with him. At least, that's what we could make out from her slurred speech.
The 24-year-old legal assistant then threatened to leave the show, screaming at producers about how "Done" with it she was.
The next morning, in the harsh light of day, Victoria apologized to Galavis for her behavior, but it was not enough to secure her a rose.
Smart move, Juan Pablo!

The Community Christmas Project Inc. is now accepting toy donations for this Christmas season. The need is great in Harrison County this year and donations are appreciated.
New, unwapped toys may be taken to drop off points this year. The drop off zones are at: Ross Auto on Church Street and Cynthiana Vision Center on Pleasant Street.
For more information on donating, call Charles or Peggy Carson at 234-1689.
Every child deserves a chance, even if it's their second one.
It's the traditional month of family gathering...Thanksgiving. There's turkey and the trimmings, and in many homes, it's the first trip home for college students.
This month has another family side to it as well. For the entire month, thousands of families will take extra time to give thanks to new members of the family.
It's time to move forward with the Handy House lease, that was the consensus of the Harrison County Fiscal Court on Tuesday.
"This is a win-win for us," said magistrate Bradley Copes of the lease agreement with the local historical society. "They'll be happy and we can move ahead."
The Harrison County High School marching band traveled to Norwood High School in Cincinnati over the weekend to compete in the Mid- State competition.
The band was one of 10 bands out of 28 chosen to participate in the finals.
The Marching Thorobreds performed their repertoire and clinched the seventh place position.
"It's a bittersweet end to the year," said band director John Merz. "We hate that it's over, but we ended with a strong performance."
Thirty-one inoperative vehicles have been towed from within the city limits this year. Wayland Quisenberry, code enforcement officer, told Cynthiana Commissioners Tuesday that total includes five recently removed from city property.
In another matter, Richard Schwartz of the Cynthiana Fire Department presented five students with Fire Prevention Week awards. This award was given to students who completed a coloring contest. A student was selected from each elementary school to receive the award.
Cynthiana police and firefighters hired since 2008 may not have been covered by hazardous duty retirement as they believed.
During a special meeting of the commission last week, Ptl. Jeff Thomas presented a handbook given to him during orientation that implied one of the city's benefits was hazardous duty retirement.
Commissioner Amanda Moore said six employees were under the impression they had the benefit.
City clerk Charleen McIlvain said she never told the new hires they would have hazardous duty retirement benefits.
Attention reading enthusiasts, Journey Community Christian Church would like to introduce to you a way to give back to the community using your bookworm skills.
It's called Whiz Kids. A literacy-based, one on one program geared toward helping second and third graders hone their reading skills.
"Not only are we going to help them read better," said Whiz Kids coordinator Mary Gim Norfleet. "We intend to provide encouragement and full support to the kids"
Christmas is arriving early in Cynthiana, as The Christian Bookstore prepares to serve as a collection point for Operation Christmas Child. Soon, with the help of local volunteers, the site will be brimming with festively wrapped shoe boxes full of gifts.
Through Operation Christmas Child, the world's largest Christmas project, Cynthiana residents are helping send shoe box gifts this year to more than eight million children in 100 countries suffering from natural disaster, war, terrorism, disease, famine and poverty.

New Orleans Saints Continue to Be Haunted by Bountygate Scandal, Absence of Sean Payton
September 23rd, 2012
A 31-yard field goal ultimately did them in this week, but the New Orleans Saints' tumultuous start to the 2012 season is rooted much deeper than anything seen on the field. The Saints scored a touchdown with a little over five minutes left in the third quarter of Sunday's tilt with the Kansas City Chiefs, giving New Orleans a commanding 24-6 lead. But even that wasn't enough to solidify the …

Comments about Allora Paris Series Professional Straight Soprano Saxophone with 2 Necks:
Bought this horn for my daughter as her Piano ARCT graduation gift. V-disappointed with the quality. My daughter struggled with this instrument. We took it to service/repair shop to check it out. To our surprise, the pads leak and need to be replaced. There may be other issues after the repair. This suppose to be a brand NEW horn!! I am returning this item as it's still within the 45 days return policy. The quality control and workmenship for Allora is wonky and poor. I will not choose this brand for sure.

Comments about Allora Paris Series Professional Straight Soprano Saxophone with 2 Necks:
Sax arrived as scheduled. Ordering by phone was excellent. The thumbrest for the octave key fell off - not glued well. Discussed with customer service and immediately came up with an acceptable solution (one of which was anfull exchange). I do have problems with the pitch however, believe more of me getting use to the horn since all experience is on a tenor and dates a few years.
Comments about Allora Paris Series Professional Straight Soprano Saxophone with 2 Necks:
Having experience with other soprano saxophones including a Yani, I highly recommend this Allora Paris! The instrument is beautiful (I got the black nickel/silver plate keys) and has a great sound! The intonation is outstanding, and I like the ease of play it offers allowing ability to bend/waver notes for expression. In light of this ease for expressive playing--if you're a novice with soprano saxophones and you attempt to check the tune and intonation bear in mind to be consistent and even with your air projection when testing... (what I mean is don't underrate this horn because you didn't use the same evenness on each note you test and you actually cause the note to miss the mark.) I've played saxophone for over 20 years, so I do have some experience.

• Video: Darling, Byrne address 5000m situation
DES MOINES, Iowa -- The best American steeplechase will again take a run at the world's best in the event.
Former Wisconsin athlete Evan Jager lived up to his role as the favorite in the 3000 steeplechase Sunday at the 2013 USA Outdoor Championships, defending his national title in the event with a run of 8 minutes, 20.67 seconds inside Drake Stadium.
Jager, the American record-holder and 2012 Olympic finalist, will compete alongside teammate Daniel Huling, who was second in 8:22.62, and former Indiana runner De'Sean Turner, who was third in 8:25.56, for the 2013 IAAF World Championships in August.
"I wasn't supposed to take the lead any time before 1K to go," Jager said. "Like every single time that I have taken the lead in a race, it just kind of naturally happened, over a barrier or a water jump. With just over three laps to go I came off the water jump and I must have had a really good one because I shot out right in front of him (Huling).
"I felt really good and was able to hold everyone off."
Fellow UW alumnus Chris Solinsky, a World Championships qualifier at 5000 meters in 2009, fell short of a repeat bid Sunday. He finished eighth in the 5000 in 15:09.47 as he works his way back from injury that derailed his entire 2012 season.
Bernard Lagat won the U.S. title in 14:54.16, with Olympic silver medalist Galen Rupp second in 14:54.91 and Ryan Hill third in 14:55.16.
Noticeably absent from the field was Badgers senior Maverick Darling, who was the first man out of the field when declarations were announced earlier this week. Darling's 13:30.34 ranked 19th among those who declared, with USA Track & Field electing to run a field of 18 athletes.
The governing body then chose to not add entries to the field and only nine runners came to the line for Sunday's race. That left Darling, Texas product Joe Stilin and Indiana alum Andy Bayer -- all of whom were among the top declared athletes not accepted -- on the outside looking in. Darling and Stilin joined with UW assistant coach Mick Byrne to address the situation prior to the start of competition Sunday. Video of the session is available here:
"USA Track & Field are taking away their opportunity to compete," Byrne said.
Darling was especially frustrated after spending the week in Des Moines awaiting word from USATF on whether or not additional entries would be allowed in the event that entered athletes scratched from the competition. He was the top American-born finisher at the NCAA cross country championship, as well as in the indoor 5000 meters and outdoor 5000 meters.
Junior Danny Block competed in the shot put but failed to record a legal throw.

Making sure that we meet the needs of our clients means that we are constantly keeping an eye on emerging technologies, staying on top of demand, so that when a new type of requirement materialises, we are in a position to respond and offer expert assistance. This does involve an element of guesswork and sometimes when you call heads it will come up tails from time to time.
We recently took such a plunge when we began providing specialist services to those looking to hire mobile application developers, specifically the development of new applications using the Android platform. Entering a new market takes time and money so it was with some satisfaction this week that I learnt that the number of Android mobiles has passed the number of iphones for the first time. Gartner research predicts that Android will account for almost 50 per cent of the smartphone market by the end of 2012, giving it an enormous lead on its competitors.
The market is ever more steadily moving towards applications and devices that can be used on the move. While we don't yet have a credible rival to the iPad tablet, we are surely only a few upgrades away from having an iPad killer on the market, most likely running on Google's honeycomb platform.
But its not just gaming applications making an impact on the market; more and more apps are being designed to help businesses find their niche in the market. As with the successful Lynx campaign on MySpace, and Cadbury's 'Bring back the Wispa' campaign on Facebook, it will be interesting to see which company is heralded as dominating the app market with an ingenious idea and who will be making the most of their business resources, providing a real solution to their customers and in turn increasing sales through reputation.
New entrants into the IT market should take heed of application developments, and examine whether this route is one they should follow. Those people already in the market should review their current skill set and ask whether it is in need of updating, as this market in particular is one that never stops moving.

Georgia wrecks Georgia Tech 42-10; SEC Championship Game is up next
ATHENS, Ga. — The triple option is designed to roll up yards and roll time off the clock, and Georgia Tech's version of the attack did just that on Saturday against Georgia.
But the Bulldogs unveiled an option of their own; they had the option of scoring early and often against a hapless defense — and they did.
In a rivalry game that was over almost as quickly as it started, UGA (11-1) raced out to a 28-3 halftime lead at Sanford Stadium and cruised to a dominating 42-10 victory over Tech (6-6).
The Yellow Jackets racked up 302 rushing yards and held the ball for 39:56, but those stats hardly mattered on a day when the Bulldogs excelled on both sides of the ball.
The winners had 379 yards of total offense and made the most of their possessions, scoring on all five red zone visits.
And the defense played one of its best games of the season, with Alec Ogletree registering 15 tackles (10 solo), Christian Robinson finishing with 13 overall and John Jenkins, 11.
The never-in-doubt conquest in the 107th renewal of "Clean Old-Fashioned Hate" gives Mark Richt and his bunch momentum as they move on the SEC Championship Game to face Alabama next Saturday.
"Our goal was to win every phase of the game, for every unit to win," Richt said. "I think we may have done that. That's more than a coach can really ask for."
Paul Johnson and his Yellow Jackets will face Florida State for the ACC title on Dec. 1 but it might take a while to get over what happened in the regular season finale.
"If you watched the same game I did, it was a pretty good thumping," Johnson said. "We couldn't slow them down and we couldn't finish drives offensively. We couldn't match Georgia score for score, which is what we've been doing all season."
Leading by 25 with 30 minutes to go Georgia waited until the fourth quarter to throttle down.
Aaron Murray and Jay Rome combined on a 24-yard touchdown play to make it 35-3 at 10:38 of the third. It was Rome's first career TD
"It was a great feeling," he said. "I've been waiting for a while for it so I'm happy to have finally gotten it. Coach has been telling me to just keep grinding and eventually it would come."
With six minutes left in the stanza Keith Marshall broke free on a 17-yard TD scamper, leading to a 42-3 score.
The front-liners finally made their exit with 15 minutes to go and that paved the way to Georgia Tech's consolation touchdown. It came courtesy of B-back David Sims' 9-yard scoot with 7:25 remaining, and the extra point completed the 42-10 score line.
"We wanted to start the game with tempo and we did, and then kept it up the entire game," said Todd Gurley, who finished with 97 yards and two touchdowns on 12 totes. "We just rode the momentum the whole game."
It took the Bulldogs a grand total of 63 seconds to get on the scoreboard.
Moving 44 yards in four snaps following a 47-yard opening kickoff return by Malcolm Mitchell, Todd Gurley found the end zone on a 3-yard run.
Murray completed two passes for 26 yards on the drive, putting him over the 3,000-yard mark for the season.
Tech tried to answer back with a march that took it from its own 16 down to the UGA 1 — all on the ground. But Bacarri Rambo stripped the ball from Robert Godhigh as the Jacket runner neared the Bulldog goal line and raced out to midfield with the stolen cargo.
Again the Dawg offense made quick work of the visitors' defense, going the distance in eight plays. Gurley did the scoring honors again, this time from the 1.
The Yellow Jackets slowed the bleeding when Chris Tanner kicked a 38-yard field goal in the waning moments of the first quarter, but to get back in the game they had to figure out a way to stop Georgia.
They didn't.
The Bulldogs got another touchdown three plays later, this one set up by a 57-yard pass from Murray to Mitchell and finished off with Marshall's 15-yard scamper at 14:39 of the second.
At 21-3 things were out of hand; when Murray hooked up with Rhett McGowan on an 11-yard pitch and catch 2:49 before halftime to make it 28-3, they were out of reach for the ACC Coastal Division champs.
Things never got much better for the Jackets the rest of the day.
"We just went out there and laid an egg," Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington said. "We didn't play good as a team today. It was just a bad overall effort.
"But we've still got a shot at the ACC Championship and a BCS bowl, so we've still got a lot to play for."

A prolific designer of both private and public landscapes (including the Toronto Music Garden), Julie Moir Messervy also loves to write and lecture about design. It's one way she wrestles with concepts and coaxes them into shape. Her book, Home Outside (The Taunton Press, 2009), presents design theory as well as practical advice.
Q: How did you come to take an unabashedly emotional approach to designing landscapes?
A: As a child, I spent a lot of time playing outside, building forts and making special places in mossy beds or under trees. I'd bury my nose in peonies and I studied trilliums in the forest. Being outdoors was all about feeling good. As a designer, I want each of my landscapes to feel just as special for my clients. For me, form doesn't follow function; form follows feeling.
Q: What's your concept of "home outside"?
A: Home is not just the house where you live, but also the entire landscape around the house. Basically, all the same things can happen outside a home as happen inside — you can play, eat, frolic — you can even tryst there!
Q: So where do you start?
A: I begin by analyzing the actual site and learning as much as I can about what the client's "ideal site" would be. Then I figure out one or more big moves that give me an organizing strategy for the design. Then I look for the desired level of comfort in specific outdoor spaces. For example, the front yard should ideally be a welcoming zone. If it does not feel welcoming, I look for ways to create a sense of comfort there.
Q: What other types of spaces promote a sense of comfort?
A: People like places to gather with family and friends, and these are often best close to the house. We also like getaway spaces, such as for a hammock, which can be farther from the house.
Q: How does your training in architecture influence your sense of design?
A: The same design principles apply to both buildings and landscapes. I take cues from the architecture and connect the lines or materials of a house with those around it. I create open-air rooms with some type of frame, but they don't always need to be symmetrical. Then I think about wayfinding and how to make it all feel part of a continuous, flowing whole.
