Barely There Sheer Matte Tint SPF 30 is a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen, which is essentially what the crop of BB creams from other brands offer. BB creams are said to offer skin-enhancing benefits like antioxidants, but so do many tinted moisturizer, including Barely There Sheer Matte Tint. So although this product doesn't state "BB Cream" on the label, it absolutely functions like one.
This has a creamy but light texture that slips flawlessly over skin and provides a smooth, satin-matte finish. Its sheer-coverage formula provides a hint of color to even out your complexion while still allowing your natural skin tone to show through. The broad-spectrum titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreen included will help shield your skin from harmful UV rays, making this an ideal all-in-one option for broad-spectrum sun protection and light moisturizing, plus soft color that enhances your skin. It comes in four neutral shades for fair to medium/tan skin tones.
Note: Although this tinted moisturizer provides broad-spectrum sun protection on its own, you must apply it liberally and evenly to get the stated level of protection. Sheer or spot application will not provide the amount of sun protection the label indicates. If you're not likely to apply this liberally, we recommend applying it over a moisturizer with sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater and setting with a pressed powder rated SPF 30 or greater.
Creamy but light texture is easy to blend and ideal for all skin types. Provides a smooth, satin matte finish with sheer coverage and a hint of color to perk up skin color. Softly evens out your complexion while allowing your natural skin tone to show through. Protects skin with a titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreen.

Paula's Choice Skincare At-A-Glance
Paula's Choice Skincare was established in 1995 when best-selling beauty author and consumer advocate Paula Begoun (known as The Cosmetics Cop) decided to develop her own products. Like most of us, she was fed up with products that overpromised results, cost a lot of money, and failed to deliver—or made matters worse!
As a natural evolution of Paula's personal mission to help consumers find the best products for their skin, the line has grown into an extensive range of skincare and makeup products that are formulated to meet the needs of almost every skin type and skin concern imaginable. From acne to wrinkles, oily skin, rosacea, large pores, eczema, redness, dry skin, and on and on, Paula's Choice offers a solution.
Paula's Choice Skincare stands apart from other cosmetics brands. The formulas contain only ingredients that have substantiated, published research showing they are beneficial and effective—so you get visible results. Stable packaging is another feature of the brand, using innovative, opaque, and air-tight or air-restrictive components that keep antioxidants and other light- and air-sensitive ingredients from breaking down. The line is also 100% fragrance-free, which is best for all skin types, especially for those with sensitive skin or rosacea.
Disclosure: Paula Begoun is the creator of Beautypedia and founder of Paula's Choice Skincare products. Reviewing thousands of skincare and makeup products over the past 30 years, both on this site and in her best-selling books, Paula's mission has always been to help consumers find the best products possible for their skin. The Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains this commitment. In addition, The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same rating standards and criteria, whether it is a Paula's Choice product or another brand.
Why are all Paula's Choice Skincare products rated highly? The Paula's Choice Skincare Team would not launch a product unless it was worthy of a high rating from The Beautypedia Team. Paula and The Beautypedia Team were researching and reviewing products long before Paula's Choice Skincare ever existed and consumers were constantly requesting a skincare brand that met all of Beautypedia's criteria. As a result, The Paula's Choice Skincare Team was created and uses the same research and criteria to formulate Paula's Choice products as The Beautypedia Team uses to review products.
Strengths: All products are fragrance-free; uniquely formulated AHA and BHA products; effective skin-lightening options; toners that go beyond the norm; all sunscreens provide broad spectrum protection; proven anti-acne products; antioxidant-rich serums and moisturizers; anti-aging products that work as claimed.
Weaknesses: Does not offer a complete collection of makeup; makeup shade range isn't as extensive for darker skin tones; limited concealer options.

The new Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains the commitment to help you find the best products possible for your skin.

The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same research, criteria, and objectivity, whether the product being reviewed is from Paula's Choice or another brand.
The shade matches perfectly for my skin. This is the best of many BB, CC and tinted moisturizers I've tried with the small caveat that I like the non-matte glow from Nars Tinted Moisturizer slightly better. But this is better on a hot summer day and I like that it doesn't have any chemical sunscreen.
This is a wonderful tinted moisturizer. It leans to the glowier side of finish and I love it. I use it with a good layer to ensure sun protection so this is beautiful as your daily SPF. Does not accentuate dry patches, leaves skin hydrated (I use moisturizer underneath though), wears well. Thank you, PC, fr this amazing product. Just bring Level 1 back in stock, please!
This seemed like a nice product, yet the coloring is wrong for my Asian Skin. Level 4 is the right shade yet has too much pink; Level 3 had the yellow undertone I needed yet was too light.
I hated, hated, hated this. Settled into my pores and I just looked ridiculous. THEN - I got a Beautyblender in my Birchbox one month. I soaked my Beautyblender in water, squeezed it out and gave this product another shot. AND: it was gorgeous. Lovely, sheer coverage. You couldn't even tell I was wearing anything, my skin just looked perfect.
I wasn't impressed with the overall look of this on me. I really like tinted moisturizers, not this 9ne though
It's full of parabens and talc...
Actually, the amount of both is low (for the parabens, less than 1%), and neither is harmful for skin. There's plenty of research to support this; happy to send it to you!
I wish this came in a lighter shade than the lightest color. I am very fair, and the lightest color is still too dark, and yellow for me. I also wish there weren't any Parabens in it! Other than those two things, I would want to keep buying this.
This product makes my skin look perfect, softening shadows and lines. I thought its dewy finish would translate to an oil slick on my T zone, but I was amazed when, at the end of the day, it looked the same as when I put it on in the morning. No touchups needed. No powder necessary. The price is astounding. Thank you, Paula!
I LIKE this product very much, covers well, and evens out your skin tone, HOWEVER... and this had become a relevant point, it's as if Paula's Choice has lowered production of this product and timely supply and deliveryis questionable at best. I may be looking for a replacement soon in one of the recommended products that I can just run out and buy.
This feels amazing and gives sheer coverage (which I prefer)...except that it needs to come in a very fair shade. I want to use this everyday! I wonder if there is a white base out there that I could mix on the back of my hand with this product to achieve the desired shade? Please, Paula's Choice, make a lighter shade. :)
It looks as if I'm wearing nothing. It only give a very sheer coverage, just enough to make your skin look a little better without anyone noticing your are wearing some tinted sun protection. It doesn't run into wrinkles and make them look worse.
I appreciate it the most when most when my skin turns a little red from Retin-A. it tones down the red but the coverage still doesn't show. It like the inflame red get a pinky healthy color.
I put this on one side of my face and another TM on the other and asked my husband which looked better. He said "You don't have anything on the right side." It is truly invisible if you have no flakes. But titanium dioxide or zinc oxide in ANY product will to stick to flakes. and this was no exception. Clinique City Block Sheer is a *slightly* better value price-wise, with slightly better protection, and works for me. But I highly recommend this product. It also feels like absolutely nothing.
I purchased this year's ago on the promise that it was sheer. My skin is too olive to wear a mineral sunscreen without looking ghostly. This stuff is incredible. I am a man, and yet it looks like I have nothing on my face -- only smooth, satin-matte skin (not completely matte). It looks incredibly natural. 2 different shades work for me -- 2 & 3 -- because of the sheerness of color. We men have uneven skin, too, and this stuff is off-the-charts good.
I was looking for an alternative to foundation in summer and ordered samples of this in light/medium and medium.Really I could wear both. Love this, it's quite thick for a TM, but in a nice way. It glides on beautifully and covers really well.Great sunscreen, no alcohol or fragrances.Just what I was looking for.Does not emphasise fine lines around eyes.As good as so called bb creams and now we have cc creams. They are all just tinted moisturisers anyway. And this is a great one!!
My personal results for the product might not be typical, so there you go. I'm a pale lady with red/pink cheeks who doesn't really wear make up. I'm looking at tinted moisturizers/bb creams to even out my skin.
I tried some samples of this when PC equated it to a bb cream. The fair was too dark for my skin and as it dried, it turned slightly peach in color. Just didn't gel with my skin. It also offered too much coverage, for me anyway, feeling more like a foundation that a tinted moisturizer.
I love this foundation for weekends and summers. I am surprises that despite it's sheerness, it covers nicely and gives an even skin tone. I am 58 and love how this foundation gives my skin a youthful fresh appearance.
I love the sheer matte coverage of this foundation. The SPF 30 puts this off the chart in excellence. I wear Level 4, Medium/Tan, and while it isn't an "exact" match, it doesn't have to be. This gives my skin a healthy look, evens out my skin tone, and most importantly, provides reliable sunscreen when used properly. Sheer Matte Tint can be used as a primer as well, so it's multi-purpose and economical. I've tried several of the new "BB Creams" on the market, and none of them hold a candle to Sheer Matte Tint. I tell everybody about this product.

The unlikely couple falls in love and conceives a child – an extraordinary raven girl trapped in a human body. The raven girl feels imprisoned by her arms and legs and covets wings and the ability to fly. Betwixt and between, she reluctantly grows into a young woman, until one day she meets an unorthodox doctor who is willing to change her.One of the world's most beloved storytellers has created a dark fairytale full of wonderment and longing. Illustrated with Audrey Niffenegger's bewitching etchings and paintings, Raven Girl explores the bounds of transformation and possibility.
Moves at an exhilarating pace.
Tom Gatti, The Times
Aesthetically, the book is a work of art… Striking and unforgettable.
Like all good fairy tales, Raven Girl is really quite disturbing as well as romantic and touching.

Good news on the social networking security front is that Twitter has finally got its act together to offer an Always use HTTPS option.
If you turn on this option, all of your personalised interaction with Twitter will be encrypted - not only while you are logging in, but also while you are posting tweets.
A lot of people fail to recognise the value of using HTTPS on Twitter. As long as your username and password are sent over HTTPS, so no-one can sniff them out of the ether, who cares if your tweets go over plain HTTP? After all, a tweet is meant to be public.
The problem is that once you have logged in, Twitter sends your browser a session cookie. This is a one-time secret. It is unique to your account and the current session.
Because your browser retransmits this session cookie in all future requests to the Twitter site, Twitter can see that it's you coming back for more. So you don't need to put in your username and password for every single tweet you send. You login once, and the session cookie identifies you for the rest of the current session.
Unfortunately, if you login to Twitter over unencrypted WiFi - e.g. at a coffee shop or an airport lounge - then anyone who can sniff your session cookie can pretend to be you. That means they can post tweets as you. And you don't want that. (It happened to Mr Demi Moore, a.k.a. Ashton Kutcher, recently, no doubt to his considerable embarrassment.)
Turning on full-time Twitter HTTPS keeps your session cookie encrypted throughout your login session. This is definitely what you want.
Don't forget that it's not just experienced hackers who can sniff Twitter cookies and use them to impersonate you.
The infamous Firesheep plugin to Firefox automates this cookie-stealing process - known as "sidejacking" - so that anyone who can use a browser can do it.
To enable this new Twitter option, go to your Settings page.
At the bottom is the new Always use HTTPS option. Turn it on and click [Save], and then [Save changes].
Do it today.
(Note: as a commentator below points out, it's not clear if, or how, non-web-browser Twitter clients will support this new option. If in doubt, please ask the vendor of your Twitter client, or follow the Simplicity Principle and stick to using your browser when tweeting.)

1991 Subaru Legacy • 220,000 miles
The lights come on when the key is turned but just a single click that's it. It has started a couple of times just fine then nothing again. Battery cables are clean and tight. Voltmeter shows that it is good. Hooked up a battery charger just in case but nothing. Jumped the car and it started right up. Then the next time it wouldn't even start with a jump. Since it is a manual I can bump start it and that seems to be the only way it will start now. I need to get back and forth to work and I can't depend on my husband pushing me or asking someone else to. Any suggests on what I should replace first. I've been told it could be the starter, starter solenoid, ignition, or the alternator. I don't have very much money and need to get it fixed asap. Thank you for your time and any input is very much appreciated.
Sounds like their is a fault with the starter/solenoid. Does it start if you get someone to tap the starter when you turn the key?
I did try that and no it didn't do anything. Just the same one click.
If you are sure the battery isn't flat, and has plenty of power. Check the cables to the battery terminals. Check the engine earth wire. If they are all good, the starter will need to be removed and changed or overhauled.

Caroline Cormier is currently a PhD student in the Department of History at the University of Toronto.
For as long as I can remember, my aunt Christine has been one of my biggest supporters. In fact, she has always played an important role in my life as both a mentor and a friend. For instance, I clearly remember how eager she was to come with me on my grade twelve exploration of the university campuses I had applied to for my undergraduate studies. Years later, she would be the one to make it possible for me to fulfill my dream of studying and volunteering abroad in Central and South America during my time at Queen's University. No matter what zany idea I have had over the years about how to take on the world, my aunt has always been there to cheer me on. She is a constant source of encouragement, always challenging me to embrace new experiences and to live my life to the fullest.
When she was diagnosed with breast cancer on January 30 of this year, I didn't know what to do or how I could help. Her diagnosis marked the beginning of what would become days, weeks, and months full of seemingly endless trips to doctors appointments and chemotherapy sessions. Just last month she had a double mastectomy and she will begin radiation treatments later this week. Despite undergoing this grueling schedule, her positive attitude has endured. Since January, my family and I have been reminded time and again of how lucky we are to have such a courageous and determined woman in our midst.
As my aunt continues on with her treatment, I wanted to show my support in the best way I knew how: I decided that I would once again participate in the CIBC Run for the Cure and continue to raise funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. With the support of so many amazing people in my life, by October 6 I will have contributed almost $10,000 to help CBCF continue to invest in innovative research projects across the country – many of which have led to important progress in breast cancer prevention, detection, treatment and care.
Less than two weeks away now, I am looking forward to joining thousands of people in the streets of Toronto (and all across Canada) – not just because this cause is deeply personal for my family and me – but because I know that together the money we raise is imperative to a future without breast cancer.

The Chinese province of Guangdong (formerly spelled Kwangtung) is located on the southern coast of the country, facing the South China Sea. The coastline is rugged and irregular, with many islands and reefs threatening unwary navigators. This page lists lighthouses of the central portion of the province, including the area of Guangzhou, the provincial capital and a major port.
Guangzhou is in the Pearl River Delta, connected to the sea by a broad estuary; Hong Kong is on the east side of the mouth of the estuary and Macau is on the west side.
Lighthouses in China are maintained by the PRC Maritime Safety Administration. The administration is organized in four regional administrations, with district offices in the major ports. The lights on this page are maintained by the Guangzhou and Zhanjiang MSA offices, which are included in the Guangzhou Region. The Chinese word for a lighthouse is dēngtǎ (灯塔). Jiao or chiao is a cape, dao, tao, yu, or hsu is an island, wan is a bay, and kang or gang is a harbor. Due to competing systems for transliterating Chinese into Latin characters, there are always several possible spellings for the names of places in China.
ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. CN numbers are the serial numbers used by the Shanghai regional office of MSA. Admiralty numbers are from volume F of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. U.S. NGA List numbers are from Publication 112.

Economic Community of West African States: Uniform Framework on Freedom of Expression, Information Considered
To link to this article, copy this persistent link:
(Mar 21, 2012) From March 5-9, 2012, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) held a meeting of its Technical Committee on Legal and Judicial Affairs and the Ministers of Justice of the Member States, in Abuja, Nigeria. (Schedule of Meetings, 2012, ECOWAS website (last visited Mar. 19, 2012).) ECOWAS was founded in 1975 and is designed to promote economic integration among 15 West African nations. (ECOWAS in Brief, ECOWAS Commission website (last visited Mar. 19, 2012).)
Among the documents reviewed at the meeting was the Draft Supplementary Act on a Uniform Legal Framework on Freedom of Expression and Right to Information in West Africa. (Supplementary Act A/SA…/6/10 on a Uniform Legal Framework on Freedom of Expression and Right to Information in West Africa (Jan. 2010) [Draft Act], FREEDOMINFO.ORG.) It establishes the right to freedom of expression in article 1, paragraph 1, which states:
Freedom of expression and information, including the right to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas, either orally or in writing or in print, in the form of art or signs and symbols and through other forms of media of mass communication and new information and communication technologies across all frontiers without limitation is a fundamental human and inalienable right to which all persons are entitled and is an indispensable condition for democracy. (Id.)
Article 1 goes on to state in paragraph 7 that:
Any restriction on freedom of expression shall:
a) be provided by law;
b) correspond to a necessary and legitimate purpose in protecting the rights of the individual or the public interest sufficiently pressing to outweigh the public interest in, and fundamental importance of, freedom of expression in a democracy;
c) be proportionate to the legitimate aim pursued or sought to be protected. (Id.)
Three articles of the Draft Act address access to information: article 7, which guarantees the right to information as a fundamental human right, though exceptions are noted; article 8, on the establishment of an enforcement body to monitor implementation of the right of access to information, to educate the public and train officials in charge of providing information, and to hear appeals when requests for information are denied; and article 9, on sanctions for those who deny proper access to information. (Id.; Work on African Model Laws Still Underway, FREEDOMINFO.ORG (Mar. 9, 2012).)
Mohammed Bello Adoke, Nigeria's Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, supported the uniform framework, stating that "[t]here is no doubt that this (Draft Act) would greatly enhance the right to information and freedom of expression which are fundamental human rights issues enshrined in our respective National Constitutions and varied International Treaties and Conventions." (Press Release, No. 043/2012, ECOWAS, Minister Tasks ECOWAS Legal Experts on Freedom of Expression, Tenders Code (Mar. 7, 2012).) The Draft Act, by establishing standards, would encourage ECOWAS Member States that have restrictive legislation to make reforms. (Id.)
The Draft Act began as a project of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA). (Emmanuel K. Dogbevi, Nigeria Calls for ECOWAS Freedom of Expression, Right to Information Legal Framework, GHANA BUSINESS NEWS (Mar. 13, 2012).) The Foundation, which is based in Accra, Ghana, states that its mission is "to promote, defend, protect, consolidate, and expand the fundamental freedoms of media and expression of citizens, communication professionals and organisations and human rights defenders in West Africa." (Our Mission, MFWA website (last visited Mar. 19, 2012).)
Following extensive review, the Draft Act had been approved by the ministers of information and communication of the ECOWAS member states. (Dogbevi, supra.)
A draft Tenders Code was also reviewed at the Technical Committee meeting. That new Code is designed to update a 1999 document covering procurement procedures for government institutions. (Press Release, supra.)

A lot of great advice on this thread already.I'll just reiterate what I see as the highlights.Definitely get enough r-rating in the pad. The bag isn't enough by itself. You WILL be cold in the warmest bag, if you don't get enough pad. Do at least as much research on warm pads as you do on your warm bag. There is plenty of search data in the archives on winter pad strategies and discussions on which ones are warmest and most comfortable.Pick a bag that is rated at least 10-15 degrees lower temp than you expect to encounter. And pick it from a maker that is known to be pretty accurate with their ratings. Like Western Mountaineering.Some makers will rate a bag for much colder temps than it can really work in. It's not uncommon at all. Again, the search is your friend here, and you can glean some info from the archives about which makers rate accurately and which makers don't.Good light clothing that works as insulation can help a lot, as long as it is DRY.I recommend full head-to-toe coverage, including a balaclava or even a down hood on the head.Hot water bottle is great, as long as you have a bottle which you are sure will not leak. Even if it does cool off inside by morning, you'll at least had the majority of a good night's sleep. If it's really cold, and you have to get up to pee in the middle of the night anyway, you might heat up the water and put it back in the hot water bottle again.And lastly, because most people do not want to bother themselves with a vapor barrier layer, look into vapor barrier layers. They work very well in cold weather, but they require some ability to monitor your heat level so you don't sweat. For you, I expect that would be a welcome "problem". So, look into it. It's a specialty system that most people don't want to bother with, but it does work, especially in the very cold.
Some good ideas here. I especially like the "puffy pants" suggestion- I might well try that one!Several people have brought this up, and I'll just chime in- if you have an air mattress you might well benefit by using a layer of CCF on top to reduce conduction of the cold from the ground. Even an insulated air mattress can conduct cold. I used to just sleep on CCF but as I've gotten older I've found that's not something I want to do any more and I've gone to an insulated air mattress (12 oz) plus a 3/4 length z-rest. I might look into these 1/8 or 3/16 CC foam pads I keep hearing about on this forum but haven't yet found the vendor that sells those thin mats.One thing that surprises me is how many people have stated that their hot water bottles are not warm in the morning. Mine stay warm all night long, and are still VERY warm to the touch in the morning. I boil the water, pour it in the bottle, drop the bottle in a sock and the sock keeps the bottle from burning me but also insulates the bottle. Even sleeping in snow shelters in the winter I've found that my bottles are still significantly warmer than body temperature in the morning.But +1 for sure on taking care that your hot water bottle doesn't leak. I am very careful to tighten the cap and then place them cap side up in the bag. If I roll to my side, I re-position the bottle so that it remains cap side up. Just in case.
Some more input from another cold sleeper...I just went through all this myself. I used to have an old Sierra Designs Rosa 20F synthetic bag. After putting on every layer I had, including my rain gear, and still being cold on a wet & cold Memorial Day car camping trip, I invested in a new sleeping bag. I specifically chose a women's bag with an EN comfort rating (not lower limit or survival rating) below that which I expect to sleep in. I picked the REI Joule bag (rated to 22F) since the weight and price were right (WM or Feathered Friends were on my list, but the REI bag was on sale and saved me about $200). I've been warm and cozy in it on the 3 trips I've taken since, though none have yet been as cold as Memorial Day. Instead of wearing all of my clothes in my bag, I've been comfortable (and even too warm) in just midweight wool long undies and socks. My suggestions for keeping warm pretty much echo everyone else's, but I'll list them anyway:- Warm sleeping bag and pad. My pad is a Thermarest Women's Prolite 4 - heavy but warm and cushy.- Have a warm drink before bed - hydrates as well as warms, and staying hydrated is a key to staying warm. I'll usually have something to eat before bed as well.- Wash and change before bed - I read somewhere that removing sweat/salt from your skin helps you to regulate body temperature better... I don't know how effective it is, but I have a wash off and change into my sleeping clothes before it gets cold if I'm just sitting around camp.- Down booties - mine are Sierra Designs and weigh about 3oz... I've been so warm in my new bag that I've been kicking them off in the night though!- Hot water bottle between the legs - this is much more effective than between the feet.- Wear a hat or balaclava to bed if it's really chilly.- Do some jumping jacks before retiring for the night... not enough to make you sweaty, but just a few to get the blood flowing.- Get a dog! You might have to tech it how to share, but snuggling up with my coonhound helps keep us both warm. Major disadvantage - she snores like an express train and never apologises for farting in the tent :\
When I hike I overheat, when I stop walking I freeze; it's like my pilot light goes out. What to do about it? I have an underactive thyroid.I'm a cold sleeper. What works for me. I wear fleece socks inside my down socks.It doubles the heat.I use a cuben quilt, heats up instantly but you can't wear down clothes inside it since it's a vapor barrier.Around the campfire I put on down pants.
Wood stove inside of a tent? Might be a good option if you ever camp in the snow.
Thanks, Tom, I forgot about vapor barriers! I find a vapor barrier really useful on below-freezing nights to keep body moisture from getting into my sleeping bag. That's one reason I have non-breathable rain gear (the other being that I get just as wet inside expensive "breathable" gear which wets through a lot sooner than coated nylon). Just remember that anything inside the vapor barrier will be damp, so don't wear your down inside. I wear my vapor barrier over my base layer, with my insulating items outside the vapor barrier. My dog certainly helps, too--I consider him part of my sleep system. There have been a few nights when I would have liked to have three of them! The main precaution is to keep the dog's claws well-trimmed and keeping him off your air pad and lightweight-shelled down sleeping bag. And, of course, lots of obedience training courses for you and your dog before you take him out on the trail.

Rodger, who told you this stuff or where did you read it? It's not jiving with what I have learned in biology/physiology/nutrition classes and what I and am reading. Here's some research based info..."Women also regularly lose some iron on the 28 cycle."An old study came to the conclusion that "There was no decrease in the incidence of iron deficiency following the menopause" (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2141.1967.tb08846.x/abstract) Sooo, this does happen, but not really statistically common. More period information, yay. Anyone hating me for this too?"People that have a higher than avg body fat % (women?) get cold faster. Fat is a fuel source, but it is a lousy insulation and retainer of heat."Look at this scientific study that says the exact opposite: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2803162 "People that have a higher than avg iron % (men?) are always heating up. Iron is the body's insulation, like a Thermos or the inside of a kitchen oven."I've been googling this for the past 15 minutes and I'm coming up with nothing to support that iron insulates people. Nothing to oppose it either, just nothing at all about the insulative properties of iron in people.

Roger-FWIW, my experience doesn't jive with your posts at all. I eat exactly the same food (high protein, high (good) fats, low carbs) as my husband. He's a furnace, and I'm cold. I've never tested low on iron, and have been tested multiple times. I do test low on vitamin D if I don't supplement but that has a lot to do with living in Alaska (not enough UV radiation to trigger the natural production of vitamin D 9 months out of the year). I supplement with D daily in the winter months, a couple times a week in the summer, and get my bloodwork done twice a year.The only food I've found that seems to impact my body temperature is actually a spice- cayenne. I have experimented with some success on drinking a tea with a good dash of cayenne before bed and have found that it helps me to feel warm for quite a while after consumption, in the same way a spicy soup or chile might make you sweat when eating it.

The FF Spoonbill double bag seems like just the ticket. I thought it looked great, but just to warm for our normal temps, but if you are looking for a warm 20F bag, it seems like it would be the ticket, with it's independent hood/zipper adjusting lettting your sleeping partner air out while you bundle up. Then increase the delta by wearing warm down clothing.
Whether or not iron is an "insulator" I cannot say; however, spinach as a good source of iron is an old wives tale. Yes, it has a high content of iron, but it also has a high content of oxalic acid, which inhibits the body's uptake of the iron. By comparison, the little oysters in a tin of smoked oysters (ummm good!) contain 35% iron...much tastier than liver, and they go quite well with cheese and wine. Happy Trails!
My 92 year old grandma just told me that when she was in girlscouts she put in heated rocks/bricks in her sleeping bag
"Fat is a fuel source, but it is a lousy insulation and retainer of heat. . . Iron is the body's insulation, like a Thermos or the inside of a kitchen oven."My MD/PE household responds: Fat on the human body is very much an insulator against conductive heat loss. We've butchered arctic critters including a bowhead whale and the mostly furless ones have their fat concentrated under the skin where it does the most good. A human's coolest skin (given the same exposure) are those areas over the most white adipose fat. (The brown fat in the small of the back is an exception - it is involved in metabolism in both genders).Iron is used in hemoglobin in our blood to transport oxygen to our cells and carbon dioxide back to our lungs. It is not insulation.Editted for spelling.

Thanks David. That was the first time I had heard the claim that fat was a " lousy insulator".
Edited by RogerDodger on 05/13/2014 16:24:49 MDT.
Sounds more like a test of thermal storage, rather than insulation.
Edited by RogerDodger on 05/13/2014 16:25:22 MDT.
thoughts from yet another one who could've posted the title:For me, double quilt or sleeping bags zipped together don't work well - because whenever my partner rolls over or gets up to pee (which happens several times a night) I get a blast of cold air that wakes me up. Your experience may not be the same; this is just a cautionary thing you may want to consider. For me, direct access to the heat source is outweighed by the random ventilation occurrences!My feet are usually a bit chilly by the time I climb in the bag (heck, they're chilly right now in my 70 degree house!), so a hot water bottle by the feet is the best placement for me.I definitely recommend using a pad long enough to have it extend under your feet, with high enough insulation value (women's neo-air xlite has worked for me so far but I haven't had it in really cold conditions yet; perhaps the xtherm for you?)I've just changed from an old REI Down Time bag to a WM Versalite 10 degree bag - love it. Have also made myself a sleep hat from heavy windpro fleece.

GOP, Some Dems Vow to Fight Obama's Gun-Control 'Power Grab'
Anatomy of a proposal: From asking Holder to re-examine who should be excluded from gun ownership to "nurturing school climates" and background checks on victims of gun theft.
January 16, 2013 - 3:44 pm
President Obama may have intended to begin his second term picking a fight with Republicans over the debt ceiling, but with the stroke of a pen and a paternalistic chiding of Congress today he rang the bell on a fight over gun rights.
Backdropped by four kids ages 8 to 11 who had written letters to the president asking him to do something about guns, Obama rounded out his speech on Vice President Joe Biden's gun-control proposals by putting 23 executives actions into effect ranging from tweaking or clarifying law enforcement procedures (such as one memorandum he issued on firearms tracing) to directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to research gun violence.
He also ditched his longtime preferred nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Andrew Traver, by offering up a less controversial pick in the guy who's been acting director since August 2011, U.S. Attorney B. Todd Jones.
But adding inflection to his script that could have come straight from an Aaron Sorkin production, Obama challenged the GOP to win the war of public opinion and Capitol duels over gun rights.
"In the month since 20 precious children and six brave adults were violently taken from us at Sandy Hook Elementary, more than 900 of our fellow Americans have reportedly died at the end of a gun — 900 in the past month," Obama said in an auditorium that included Attorney General Eric Holder, as well as victims and families of mass shootings from Sandy Hook to Virginia Tech. "And every day we wait the number will keep growing."
"This will be difficult. There will be pundits and politicians and special-interest lobbyists publicly warning of a tyrannical all-out assault on liberty, not because that's true, but because they want to gin up fear or higher ratings or revenue for themselves. And behind the scenes, they'll do everything they can to block any common-sense reform and make sure nothing changes whatsoever," he said.
"I will put everything I've got into this — and so will Joe — but I tell you, the only way we can change is if the American people demand it. And by the way, that doesn't just mean from certain parts of the country. We're going to need voices in those areas and those congressional districts where the tradition of gun ownership is strong to speak up and to say this is important. It can't just be the usual suspects."
Yet one of the "usual suspects" who, after Sandy Hook, called for greater dialogue on guns had early criticism for the proposals.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a National Rifle Association member, said he will "weigh each recommendation carefully," but called out the administration for excluding gun owners as it pushes forward.
"I am disappointed that the president did not recommend the creation of the national commission on mass violence that I have proposed," Manchin said. "A national commission can build the consensus we need for real action backed not only by gun-control advocates, mental health experts and entertainment industry executives but also by law-abiding gun owners who fully understand the history and heritage of firearms in America."
Titled "Now is the Time," the president's gun-control plan consists of:
- Requiring background checks for all gun sales, including between private sellers and gun shows. "A national survey of inmates found that only 12 percent of those who used a gun in a crime acquired it from a retail store or pawn shop, where a background check should have been run," the plan states. The coordinating executive action calls on private sellers to start selling their guns through licensed dealers so a background check can be performed.
- Strengthening background checks and ensuring states are sharing all applicable information. The coordinating executive actions clarify that ObamaCare doesn't place barriers to sharing mental-health information and direct Holder to review whether more people should be deemed "dangerous" and prevented from acquiring a gun under the current background system.
- Pressure Congress to reinstate the assault weapons ban and limit ammunition magazines to 10 rounds, as well as approve a $4 billion administration request for more cops. Obama also wants Congress to make the possession of armor-piercing bullets by anyone other than the military and law enforcement illegal.
- Implement new training and tracing for law enforcement. Obama also wants departments to run a background check on theft victims before a stolen handgun is returned.
- Conduct research on "how and when firearms are used in violent death" and on the links between violence and violent images in videos games or other media.
- "Protect the rights of health care providers to talk to their patients about gun safety."
- Launch a national ad campaign about responsible gun safety and encourage the development of new gun-safety technology.
- "Put up to 1,000 new school resource officers and school counselors on the job" and help schools implement emergency plans.
- "Help 8,000 schools create safer and more nurturing school climates" to reduce bullying, etc. "The Administration is proposing a new, $50 million initiative to help 8,000 more schools train their teachers and other school staff to implement these strategies. The Administration will also develop a school climate survey, providing reliable data to help schools implement policies to improve climate," the plan states.
- "Making access to mental health care as easy as access to a gun," in the words of Obama, by launching a new initiative, Project AWARE, to target people suspected of mental illness, particularly in ages 16 through 25.
- "Twenty-two percent of 14 to 17 year olds have witnessed a shooting in their lifetime. … To help schools break the cycle of violence, Congress should provide $25 million to offer students mental health services for trauma or anxiety, conflict resolution programs, and other school-based violence prevention strategies."
Reaction from Hill Republicans was swift.
"Nothing the president is proposing would have stopped the massacre at Sandy Hook. President Obama is targeting the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens instead of seriously addressing the real underlying causes of such violence," said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). "…I will oppose the president's attempts to undermine Americans' constitutional right to bear arms."

From The Humeston New Era, date unknown
(The Humeston New Era, established in 1880,
is now online at Ancestry.com for the years, 1900-1921)
There is always something of interest in the lives of old people. Their memory reaching back to long years before the most of us were born, gives us a bit of history of great events but it remains for the old people to furnish those quiet reminiscences of bygone days so interesting to the younger generations. The thought of this occurred to your correspondent, and having occasion to visit Mr. A. Sears, one of the old and honored citizens of Washington Township, (Wayne County), I will give your readers the benefit of the pleasant chat I had with him.
Mr. Sears was born in Orange County, New York, May 5, 1826, and at the age of twenty started west to seek his fortune. His worldly possessions consisted of a grip sack, a few clothes and $100 in gold, which he earned by working for four dollars per month in winter and nine in summer. He went on foot to Harrisburg, PA., a distance of 180 miles, and finding this kind of travel wearisome, he went by canal to Pittsburgh, being 14 days on the road. The canal boats at that time were built in sections so that they could be transferred over the mountains, there being an engine on the top and a track like our present railroad track was built up the side of the mountain, on which the sections of the boats were carried over. Three different mountains were crossed in this way.
After the boats were safely in the canal again, they were fastened together, and started making about five miles an hour, changing teams every six hours. From Pittsburgh he started by steamer to Wheeling, VA. The Ohio River being very low at this point, several of the passengers, Mr. Sears among them, waded ashore. From there, he walked to Wheeling and then by stage to Cadiz, Ohio, then to Newcomerston. A few miles from there he found an old friend named Daniel Burt. He had been 28 days making the trip which would be considered very short these days.
He hired to Mr. Burt at $10 a month and remained there seven years, during which time he made several trips with stock to New York City. One trip with fat cattle taken from Coshocton County took from April 18 to July 4. The cattle were on full feed all the way through and often traveled but 7 or 8 miles a day. During his stay with Mr. Burt, he had accumulated some $800, and thinking to make a speck, he bought two good teams and took a contract of one mile of grading on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He did $1,000 worth of work and received $200, the head contractor skipping out and leaving subcontractors in the ditch. One team and wagon was all that was saved from this wreck. About this time a printer named Wolf, at Wheeling sent out cards offering to send people to San Francisco for $200, half to be paid down and half at the end of the journey. This caught Mr. Sears,' eye along with about a hundred others, and he sold his team and paid his $100 to Wolf. After waiting ten days for the steamer to take them from Pittsburgh to New Orleans, they found that the Wolf had fled to his den. Some of them have their tickets yet and the Wolf the $100.
He and his brother, Amos, then went to Illinois, arriving there in February, 1853. He took a job of driving back from Danville to Champion, and had the honor of carrying Judge Abraham Lincoln, and several other lawyers, two trips. They were a jolly set of fellows and many a good joke was passed among them. One trip, being in the night, some of the lawyers lost their stovepipe hats. There was a jug of peach brandy on board, which probably had something to do with the losing of the hats.
Mr. Sears came to Lucas County, Iowa in 1855 and having some $250 in cash, he invested $100 in 80 acres of land in the southwest corner of the county. A few days after securing his land he took sick with fever, and was attended by the late Dr. Fitch, of Chariton. The spring found his pocket book much depleted and he went to work making rails at 50 cents per hundred, and after gathering a few dollars together he bought 40 acres of University land, mostly on time, and went to work improving it. He got 20 acres broke the first year and the next year fenced it with rails and built a log cabin. He married Miss Mary Fudge June 18, 1857, and together they began life in his new home. He got a job making shingles for a new mill being built at Chariton, doing the shaving mostly by night. The spring of 1857 was one extremely hard on the new settler. Corn was $2 per bushel, flour $9 per hundred. Coffee was manufactured from corn meal and sorghum molasses and people had but little use for sugar. In 1858, his wife took sick and continued so for over a year, leaving Mr. Sears badly in debt. In 1859, the Pikes Peak fever struck him and he went through with an ox team in the hope of building up his fortune. He returned in a short time, however, poorer than when he went. In spring of 1860 he went to work for G. Westfall for 50 cents per day, having to walk 2½ miles to his work each day, the price being raised to 75 cents per day through harvest. in the fall of '60, he sustained the first real grief in the loss of his son, aged some 18 months.
At the age of 17, he joined the M.E. church and was baptized by immersion in Ezra Stanford's mill pond, close to the line of the state of New Jersey. He has been sometime in the valley, sometimes on the mountain top, but never forgetting the time and place where he first obtained a hope that reaches beyond the grave,

Back in 1991, Honda launched a radical 660cc mid-engined mini-car called the Beat. Built exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, it was the last car that company founder Soichiro Honda green-lighted for production before he passed away. The Pininfarina-penned Kei-car (called 'kei' in Japan because of the engine size) was powered by a 660cc three-cylinder engine generating around 48kW. And yes, it was rear-wheel drive.Now, some 22 years on, Honda is revisiting that small, mid-engined combination again with this sharp-looking S660 Concept slated for a world premiere at the Tokyo motor show in late November.Only this time, Japan's number three car-maker is targeting a global market.Honda has a rich heritage when it comes to small engine capacity sports cars. The company started experimenting with tiny coupes like the 360cc S360 in 1962 and the S500 in 1963 -- around the time that the Honda-owned Suzuka circuit opened and the company started grand prix racing.The last 'S' series sports car of that early era was the S800 in 1966. To celebrate its 50th anniversary in 1999, Honda brought back the 'S' prefix with the high-revving S2000 that finally went out of production in 2009.By the time 2010 came around, Honda had already started designing its next 'S' series coupe, a concept that debuted at the 2011 Tokyo show called EV-Ster. Those six letters referred to its all-electric powertrain incorporating two motors driving the rear wheels.Given the EV-Ster's positive feedback at Tokyo, it is no wonder then that the S660 Concept we'll see this year is almost identical to the original concept of two years ago. In fact, first impressions are telling. The EV-Ster's exaggerated grille design, edgy bonnet and rear lighting scheme have been replaced by an exterior that can only be called 'near-production.' Cornering senior designer Ryo Sugiura at the preview in central Tokyo, we learn that the S660 will land in showrooms by 2015 pretty much as is. That's good, because we think it's a real looker."The only addition will be a fully retractable roof which you don't see on the concept," he said. "Oh, one other thing -- we put more angle on the windscreen, that is, we laid it down more because we felt that an upright windscreen is old-fashioned," says Sugiura, who admits his favourite cars are the Ferrari Dino 246 and the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33.However, with the knowledge that electric cars are struggling to find their niche in virtually every global market, Honda opted for a turbocharged 660cc petrol engine to power the S660.That should bode well for this mini sports car, because apart from its almost perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, and a 48kW-plus engine, the coupe also gets a seven-speed CVT gearbox with paddles for manual shifting.The engine expected to power the production S660 will be a tuned version of the engine in Honda's popular N-One mini-car, which employs a turbocharged petrol triple generating 48kW at 6000rpm and 104Nm of torque at 2600rpm.However, one source close to Honda says the company is currently evaluating engines for export models and may settle on a turbocharged 1.0-litre unit which should produce upwards of 75kW.In a mini-car that tips the scales between 850 and 900kg, that would give the S660 some serious attitude where it counts.Inside, a compact squarish steering wheel is designed to give drivers more knee room, while the cream-coloured driver's seat trim is meant to signify a driver-focused cockpit design.But as designer Sugiura adds, "any export version, and we are not saying we have one yet, would have to undergo some major body modifications like the impact-absorbing '5mph bumpers' required for the US market, as well as wider fenders and wheel-arches for larger tyres."Interestingly, the S660 is actually part of a bigger picture for Honda -- a picture we are hearing involves three mid-engined sports cars and a reference to the "third brother" of a mid-engined trio that Honda bosses are currently evaluating.That new coupe, says one Honda engineer, could be similar in size and price to the Toyota 86. That's good news because without the S2000, Honda certainly needs a compact sports car to slot in between the new NSX and the S660. In the same way that Honda launched a range of sports cars when it entered Formula One back in the early 1960s, it is looking more like a similar scenario with a new range of sports cars destined to start landing in showrooms about the time Honda teams up with McLaren to return to F1 in 2015.

Russia, Philippines to step up fight vs transnational crimes-A A +A
Thursday, May 15, 2014
THE Russian Federation proposed an expanded agreement with the police officials of the Philippines to address transnational crimes.
Among the issues tackled by Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Police Colonel General Vladimir Kolokoltsev and Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Alan Purisima include terrorism, cybercrime, child pornography and other internet-related crime and drug and human trafficking, PNP spokesperson Reuben Sindac said Thursday.
Sindac said the Russian police was alarmed over the results of recent police operations in the Philippines that involved the rescue of Russian women who were apparent victims of trafficking and exploitation, who ended up working in karaoke and adult entertainment bars in red lights districts.
"In the meeting, Kolokoltsev expressed desire to cooperate more extensively with the Aseanapol members and dialogue partners, he delivered willingness to explore every possible area of cooperation and partnership particularly on criminal activities against transnational crimes," Sindac said.
He said as a response to Kolokolstev's proposal, the PNP leadership immediately worked on a Memorandum of Understanding that will provide the framework for the cooperation between the Philippines and Russia in the prevention of the said issues and concerns "under the basis of reciprocity, mutual respect and non-interference in internal affairs."
In exchange, Russia will provide peacekeeping training to the Philippines for the threat of terrorism and human trafficking.
Kolokoltsev also invited Purisima to the exhibition of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' latest equipment from the world's leading producer of police gear and equipment in October, Sindac said.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation is participating as observer delegation in the ongoing 34th Asean (Association of the Southeast Asian Nations) Association of Police Chiefs (Aseanapol) conference in Sofitel Plaza Manila, where the bilateral talk was held.
Meanwhile, the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) proposed a joint agreement with the PNP to combat issues on terrorism particularly in the Southeast Asia and cross-border crimes.
Sindac said RMP Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Dig Dato' Sri Khalid Bin Abu Bakar initiated an anti-terrorism partnership between the Philippines and Malaysia.
Bakar said the agreement will facilitate the exchange of intelligence information and the establishment of a system of communication that would help both countries prevents terrorism and which will deliver a quick response when they happen.
Police General Suhardi Alius, Commissioner General of the Indonesian National Police (INP), suggested the joint exercise program for the PNP and RMP similar to the existing Philippines-Indonesia (Philindo) Joint Police Maritime Law Enforcement Exercise (Marlex), which aims to address transnational threats such as illicit drug trafficking, terrorism, arms smuggling, human trafficking, illegal fishing, maritime fraud and other crimes at high seas, which requires enhanced security cooperation, coordination and coordinated maritime law enforcement response between the law enforcement agencies of the two countries in Sulu and Sulawesi Sea.
Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines share a vast tri-border corridor in the Sulu-Sulawesi Sea, a vital sea lane for trade and commerce in the Asia-Pacific region.
A memorandum of agreement was signed by representatives of the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia in May 2002 to strengthen cooperation, recognizing the value of enhancing bilateral defense, and establishing a framework to facilitate cooperation and interoperability.
The agreement deals on information exchange procedures and establishment of communication procedures on terrorism, money laundering, smuggling, piracy and robbery at sea, hijacking, intrusion, illegal entry, drug trafficking, theft of marine resources, marine pollution, illicit trafficking in arms and other similar matters of the three countries.

Employees charged in mountain lion poaching still working at Colossal Cave
By Maggie Vespa. CREATED Jul 18, 2013
PIMA COUNTY, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) - It was a majestic animal, ruthlessly gunned down in a county park by, authorities say, a pair working in that park.
You might think such a cruel killing would be enough to get you canned from that job.
Well, stay tuned.
Wednesday 9OYS brought you the names of the three men cited, and now charged, with this poaching.
Two of them work at Colossal Cave Mountain Park.
Now, a source within the park's management tells us, those men are still on staff.
That source asked to remain anonymous.
The story that struck chords across southeastern Arizona.
"Appalled. You know there was no call for it," said one man, when the news first broke.
Those who hit the park, expecting to see their beloved wildlife, are speaking out.
"To hear the folks that did that work here..." said a Phoenix native visiting the park. "This is the first time I brought my daughter here, so to hear that is really sad."
"I think they should do something about it and investigate a little more about what type of employees they get," said one woman.
The employees under fire are Dailey, a subcontractor for the park and LeFevre, a maintenance worker employed by a non-profit contracted through county.
Authorities say they shot the mountain lion several times with a .22 calliber rifle.
Dailey has since told other local media the killing was legal.
Game and Fish officials say not so.
"I can assure you he was in no personal threat of being harmed by that mountain lion," said public information officer Mark Hart.
They say investigators are working around the clock.
"We take these cases very seriously, and we don't really make a distinction whether it's a charismatic creature or like a javelina, which isn't quite as charismatic. We pursue them vigorously," said Hart.
It's a pursuit of those who chose, they say, to needlessly and brutally hunt and kill one of the park's prized creatures.
Colossal Cave Mountain Park is run by Pima County, but county officials say staffing decisions like this are up to park directors.
9OYS reached out to them and to Richard Dailey Thursday, but we have yet to hear back.
