The beautiful people are back, and actor Danny DeVito dropped by the other night, too. Dodger Stadium was always a place to be seen, but now they come because there is really something to see.
A rookie who one minute does something spectacular and the next something spectacularly stupid. A pitcher flirting with numbers not seen in Chavez Ravine since another lefty named Koufax toiled on the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers a half century ago.
And now a spot in the record books right next to the 1951 New York Giants.
It's suddenly a good time to be a Dodger fan unless, of course, you have somewhere to be after the game. Fans that for years left in the seventh inning to beat the notorious Southern California traffic are actually staying to the end of the game, lest they miss Yasiel Puig running the bases or running into a wall.
"It's funny but it does seem like it," manager Don Mattingly said. "I notice it because by the time I get out of here there's still traffic and it takes me a while. I guess it's a good thing, though."
It's good time to be a Dodger, too.
"The Dodgers are having a lot of fun right now," utilityman Nick Punto said.
They should be. After coming back from a 4-0 deficit to win 5-4 in the 12th inning Wednesday night, the Dodgers were riding a 40-8 streak that has transformed them from listless losers into the team Vegas oddsmakers now make the favorite to win the World Series. Not since the Giants rallied to win the pennant over the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1951 has a team been this good for this long.
That they've done it mostly without injured star center fielder Matt Kemp is a testament to the depth that a $215 million opening day payroll can provide. Lately they've also been doing it without hot-hitting shortstop Hanley Ramirez, injured while crashing into the stands chasing a fly ball.
It's a far cry from where they were on June 22, when the Dodgers were 30-42 and the speculation in the Los Angeles media was that Mattingly wouldn't last another week. Then Puig turned into a phenom instead of just a curiosity and a pitching staff built for the playoffs started pitching like it was the playoffs.
"I can't say I saw this coming because this is historical stuff," Mattingly said Wednesday. "But I knew we had a good club if we could get healthy and start playing the way we were capable of playing. But this just kind of came out of the blue."
It also came at just the right time for the new Dodgers owners, who spent a whopping $2 billion to buy the team and immediately went on a spending spree to make them contenders. They also spent some money fixing up Dodger Stadium in the offseason but it's been the team, not the improvements at the 51-year-old baseball edifice, that have the Dodgers leading the majors in attendance at 45,000 a game.
They come to watch Puig, of course, and he rarely disappoints. It's hardly a coincidence that the current run started about the time Puig was called up from the minors and injected some enthusiasm and life into a moribund squad. The Cuban refugee is batting a torrid .373, and plays right field with such abandon that he looks like he should be playing defense on a football team instead.
They also come to see Clayton Kershaw pitch. The former Cy Young winner is only 11-7 for some bizarre baseball reason, but his ERA of 1.88 is not only the best by far in the majors but the best by a Dodger pitcher since Sandy Koufax posted the same number in 1963. He's the best pitcher in baseball, and the 25-year-old will soon be rewarded with the biggest contract any pitcher has ever signed.
They may not come to watch Skip Schumaker, Punto or Jerry Hairston Jr., but the Dodgers have utility players who know their roles and seem to produce whenever needed. All Punto has done in his last four games filling in for Ramirez at short is hit .429 with six RBIs.

Crispy Pata

2 pieces pork trotters (front ones preferred, more meat she says)
3 tbsp coarse salt
1 tsp monosodium glutamate... obviously optional
1 tbsp native vinegar (great write-up of Philippine vinegars here
2 pieces bay leaves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, pounded
5-6 cups water
2 onions, chopped
a LOT of cooking oil for deep-frying
Clean the feet. Make longitudinal slits on the legs and marinate in salt, msg, vinegar, bay leaves, and pounded peppercorns for 3-12 hours in the fridge.
Transfer all this to a big enough pot and add enough water just to cover the meat (don't want to dilute the flavors too much, she says). Add salt (she doesn't say how much this time) and the onions then simmer until the meat is tender.
Drain the meat and hang in a cool place OR dry under the sun for 3-4 hours.
In a giant wok, pour some oil and add the meat. Turn on the heat and cover. Once the oil has stopped sputtering, remove the cover and continue frying until the skin is golden brown and crisp. Turn the meat and crisp the other side. Blisters should have formed, but if they haven't, repeat the frying.
Okay, so she's not the greatest recipe writer (even if the recipe above is in my own words), she could use a little more detail, but that's the recipe! Sauce is indeed vinegar, soy sauce with or without fish sauce, chili peppers, and minced garlic and/or onion.

does she really suggest cooking feet? I made the awful decision of deep frying some pigs feet last weekend. My mother had made some jokbal (korean pigs feet) and we had some leftover in the fridge. I figured I'd make a bastardized/lazy version of crispy pata and threw it in the deep fryer. Ugh, the collagen and gelatin from the feet was awful when heated up. I think shanks are better because they contain more meat than feet.
important thing is to clean them well, season and leave for a few hours then boil them till cooked. drain and leave to dry either hanging in
the kitchen or uncovered in the fridge. we do it overnight. deep fry in very hot oil. you can opt to chop the hocks and trotters into more manageable sizes for frying. you can do the same thing with pigs ears too!
wash it down with beer
someone once roasted it in an oven and the skin crisped fairly well and all without the oil. make sure the oil is very hot and there is space between the pan and the skin, it crisps better when it's not on contact with the pan.
or you could just come to Manila and have your fill.

It's a little confusing for me at least because pata means thigh as far as I know, but she specifies feet in the recipe, and I'm pretty certain that I see all the tarsal bones when eating crispy pata, and I still have to sort through ligaments and stuff, though it's never been a big deal. Perhaps the long simmering is a factor. In any case, you can "crispy pata" most any part of the pig, so go for it!

I also enjoy this with a fermented vinegar based dipping sauce called pinakurat... funny name but it gives off an extra dimension to the dish.
Posted 14 January 2010 - 12:40 AM
Anyway, our family recipe is almost the same as Nora Daza's posted above by Jumanggy. The only difference is that we use pork legs (the trotters + a bit of the pork leg), we don't cut slits into the pork legs and no marinating. We clean the pork legs (razor blades are your friend) and then throw them into a pot with cold with garlic, onion, bay leaves, pepper corns, beef bouillon cubes, a little salt, vinegar and msg (yes msg). We boil the legs for about an hour and a half, take the trotters out, let them cool and dry overnight uncovered in the fridge. Then the next day the dried out trotters are fried, submerged in hot oil and once they're golden brown, they're ready baby!
Goodness, makes me want to go out and get some pig legs and make some tomorrow!

Right now I am currently brining the pork in a salt water/peppercorn solution. Either tonight or tomorrow I will start the boiling process. Can't wait to try this again!!!
Oh and I think for a korean touch, I will add crushed ginger to the water when cooking the pork. Ginger tends to get rid of the "porky" smell and adds a lovely flavor.

1975. USA. Frederick Wiseman. 167 min.
Friday, September 3, 2010, 6:30 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
1975. USA. Directed by Frederick Wiseman. Wiseman's absurdist masterpiece is a purgatorio of bureaucratic and comic/cosmic inertia, culminating in one man's unforgettable monologue about Waiting for Godot and "the whole rigmarole of forms—papers, papers, papers." (Small wonder, then, that Wiseman, David Slavitt, and Lenny Pickett would later turn Welfare into an opera, drawing on the film's magnificent, aria-like lamentations.) Welfare recipients and caseworkers are trapped in a system that is woefully ill-equipped to handle the problems of poverty, including unemployment, homelessness, substance abuse, aging, domestic violence, child abandonment and abuse, and mental and physical illness. 167 min.

Philadelphia reigned over Boston landing the first strike off an early, costly Cannons defensive error. The MLL Champions were in fine form on possession (especially off-ball) working the ball harder and faster neutralizing the potency of the Cannons' tenacious defense. 'The' difference was between the pipes. Bud Light MVP Brian Dougherty roared with 28 saves on 41 shots. Roy Colsey led the Barrage with five points. Despite a third-quarter run, the Cannons fell short 16-14.
The pre-game weather took a fast and sharp turn for the worse. Hard rain and lightning didn't seem to dampen the spirits of the nearly 6,000 fans in attendance. The Barrage did. One minute into regulation Cannons goalie Kip Turner came out of the crease trying to clear the ball. Philadelphia's Seth Goldberg capitalized on an uncharacteristic, miscalculated pass from Turner who was caught out of position. Goldberg converted on an easy open-net two-point shot taking the wind out of Boston's sails (2-0). Goldberg banked another goal off a lefty 1v1 (3-0). The Barrage came out strong connecting and finishing on attack although Boston out shot Philadelphia 41-23.
Boston was able to counteract the first half deficit with a third quarter run, but the Cannons would fall short of the mark. The Cannons used the momentum of goals scored on transition to help establish a rhythm, but the heroics of Bud Light MVP Brian Dougherty complicated the schedule of deliverables. The contact was audible from the opposite end of the field, but it was the friendly (and physical) off-ball match-ups that would have made for good TV.
The buzz around Rabil's freshman campaign in the MLL is every bit legit. Rabil continues to demonstrate an uncharacteristic poise and maturity that go beyond his league years. The Cannons interrupted the Barrage run with an ISO take by Rabil 1-3. Striebel scored for Philadelphia 4-1. Matt Alrich answered with an outside shot off a pass from John Christmas (2-4). The Barrage went on a three-goal binge making the most of superior ball movement. Boyle scored off a pass from Colsey faking high and finishing low stickside (5-2). Colsey banked a pair of og classic goals. Colsey faked an outside shot followed by a face dodge and finishing with an underhand low to high upper 90 shot. Powell and Rabil closed the first quarter with a one-two punch going into the second period with a three-goal deficit (4-7).
The Barrage continued to hold the Cannons winning 5-2 in the second period. Powell opened up the second quarter with a strong sidearm shot pegging the top corner off a pass from Alrich (5-7). The Barrage let loose with five unanswered goals - two from Boyle, Striebel, Springer, and Goldberg (12-5). Alrich wrapped up the second period scoring off the rebound with a righty dive low in the crease (6-12).
Boston came alive in the third period dominating with a 6-1 performance. The Barrage got their lone goal of the quarter from Justin Smith. Powell kicked off the scoring with a no-look shot fast-break finish off a pass from Alrich (7-12). Sean Morris followed with an EMO goal. Powell nailed the behind-the-back pass to Alrich who then dished off to Morris (8-12). Rabil cut the lead by two with a two-point overhand laser (10-12). Alrich put the Cannos within striking distance with the overhand bouncer (11-12). Christmas concluded the third quarter scoring off an assist from Powell (12-13).
The final quarter was the closest with Philadelphia edging out Boston 3-2. Boston's Ryan Curtis was called for the illegal body check at 2:37 setting up Philadelphia for the powerplay. Striebel converted on an assist from Peter Trombino (14-12) going sidearm low to high. Colsey scored again at 5:05 lifting the Barrage 15-12. Christmas scored starting from X taking Doc off pipe and shooting near side (13-15). Philadelphia and Boston traded last goals. Smith scored unassisted at 9:03 (16-14) while Rabil closed with a goal at 12:25. Boston fell short going 4-3 on the season while the Barrage advance 5-3.
Boston will face off against Long Island next hosting the Lizards 12 July 08 at 19:00 while Philadelphia will travel to NJ to take on the Pride (10 Jun 08) at 19:30.

The Fedora developers are talking about introducing the Enlightenment 0.17 desktop environment with the next 20.x branch.
The Fedora distribution already features a number of full desktop environments, GNOME and KDE being the most famous ones.
"Enlightenment 0.17 a new stable release has been released after 12 years or so of development. As many desktops are being landed on Fedora, Integrating Enlightenment in Fedora can not only enlarge the number of available desktops in Fedora, but also improve user experiences and give users another choice of Desktop Environment," reads the proposal on the official Fedora wiki.
The Enlightenment desktop environment has been adopted by a large number of other distributions and its developers have made great strides in the past year.
The decision to adopt E17 for Fedora 20 hasn't been taken, but it's a very likely scenario.

The Sidney Wood Show: Bridging The Digital Divide
The "digital divide" remains top of mind in Atlanta's African-American community – especially as Internet access becomes increasingly critical in everyday life. As a result, the Urban League of Greater Atlanta and Comcast are teaming up to help connect the local African-American community to the Internet in a series of events on Oct. 14. Comcast is giving the Urban League a $15,000 grant as it kicks off year three of Internet Essentials – a low-cost broadband adoption program designed to bring Internet access into the homes of those who need it most. Since its inception, the program has connected more than 20,000 low-income metro Atlanta families to the Internet as part of more than 220,000 nationwide.
Today on the show we had Coach Tony Dungy, Nancy Flake Johnson, President and CEO, Urban League of Greater Atlanta, and David Cohen, Executive Vice President, Comcast Corporation to talk about this….
Also we discussed Dr. Ben Carson recent comments. Click the audio links to hear what Dr. Carson had to say…

Protecting credit unions and the consumers who own them through effective regulation
The mission of the NCUA is to provide, through regulation and supervision, a safe and sound credit union system, which promotes confidence in the national system of cooperative credit.
In this section, you can find credit unions and research general and financial information. Other statistics, data, and reports include the archived Quarterly Call Reports, Financial Performance Reports, and Share Insurance Queries.
Find and research specific credit unions; locate educational resources on financial literacy, privacy, and identity protection; and read about the regulations that govern credit unions and corporate credit unions.
This section details the laws and regulations that govern NCUA-insured credit unions. Here you can access current and proposed regulations, regulatory alerts and policy statements, as well as guides, manuals and forms.

Home > News, Media and Events > Matz: "NCUA Expands Small Business Access to Capital"
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Aug. 7, 2012) – More small businesses across America will have greater access to needed capital from federal credit unions through a National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) initiative to streamline the process for federal credit unions to receive a low-income designation (LICU). NCUA sent letters to more than 1,000 credit unions notifying them of their eligibility for the LICU designation today.
"With this initiative, we are cutting regulatory red tape and expanding access to capital for small businesses, which should translate into job creation," said NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz. "Providing small businesses with the money needed to open their doors, create jobs, or expand operations will help our economy. This action is particularly timely for the 27 states devastated by this summer's historic drought."
One of the important benefits of the designation is the ability of LICUs to make unlimited member business loans. NCUA projects this initiative could unlock between $250 million and half a billion dollars in new, near-term business lending if all qualified federal credit unions participate. The initiative could double the number of LICUs and increase their member business lending by nearly 75 percent.
Rather than waiting for credit unions to complete the required paperwork to become a LICU, NCUA today contacted 1,003 credit unions alerting them of LICU eligibility. Credit unions receiving letters may now "opt-in" with a simple reply that agrees to the LICU designation.
NCUA's initiative was incorporated into a relief and recovery package for drought-stricken states announced at the White House today. Of the LICU-eligible institutions, 470 federal credit unions—representing 47 percent of potential new LICUs, 52 percent of potential new assets, and 54 percent of potential new members—are headquartered in states identified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as having "extreme" drought conditions.
To qualify as a LICU, a majority of a federal credit union's membership must meet low-income thresholds based on 2010 Census data. In addition to the exemption from the statutory 12.25 percent statutory cap on member business lending for credit unions, other advantages derived from the LICU designation include:
"Member business lending by credit unions sensibly diversifies portfolios and fills a market need," concluded Matz. "Credit unions often make the small business loans that other lenders avoid. A 2011 Small Business Administration-commissioned study also found that more than 80 cents of every dollar in credit union member business lending is an entirely new source of capital not available in the market today."
The average member business loan for all credit unions is $223,000.

NCUA is the independent federal agency created by
the U.S. Congress to regulate, charter and supervise
federal credit unions. With the backing of the full
faith and credit of the United States, NCUA operates
and manages the National Credit Union Share
Insurance Fund, insuring the deposits of more than 101
million account holders in all federal credit
unions and the overwhelming majority of
state-chartered credit unions. At

Good Eggs: Nutrition and Health
Our Nellie's Free Range eggs taste so crazy good, you might forget they're super nutritious, too. Let us refresh your memory.
Our eggs are packed with 13 essential vitamins and minerals, high-quality protein, "good" fats and antioxidants, and all for a mere 72 calories apiece.
But before we tell you the myriad of ways eggs are good for you below – are you worried about cholesterol in eggs? If so, click here!
Here are a few reasons why eggs are already "Nature's perfect food:"
- Protein-packed. One large egg delivers a full 6 grams of ultra-high-quality, satisfying protein. That's key for building and repairing muscles, producing hormones, and strengthening hair and nails. And, maybe, washboard abs (kidding).
- Eye-opening amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidant nutrients, found in yolks, are linked with lower risk of age-related Macular Degeneration. (Don't blink, but AMD is the leading cause of blindness in people over 50.)
- Copious choline. Eggs are one of nature's best ways to get this key nutrient, needed for healthy cell membranes and nerve functioning, as well as memory and brain development (especially important for moms-to-be, to support a baby's growing brain). Don't you feel smarter just reading that sentence?
- More satisfaction, fewer calories. The win-win combination of protein and healthy fats in eggs makes them extra satisfying. That's why you're not as hungry at lunchtime when you've had an egg for breakfast.
- Hearty doses of "good" fats. About two-thirds of the fats in eggs are the unsaturated types experts recommend to keep our hearts healthy. There is 70 mg of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids in a single large egg. There is a little saturated fat too—the type that's linked to higher blood cholesterol levels. But take heart: Eggs also contain nutrients that help lower heart disease risk, such as B vitamins, vitamin D, and folate.

UK Chancellor George Osborne was urged to act without delay to safeguard future investment in North Sea oil and gas today as First Minister Alex Salmond published a paper setting out options for the Treasury to reduce the impact of its recent tax hike across the industry.
Watch the video
North Sea operators and economists have warned that the increase in the Supplementary Charge (SC), from 20 to 32 per cent, will damage investment, particularly in the most challenging and mature fields, and could reduce expected employment levels by around 15,000.
An options paper, prepared by Scottish Government economists and based around analysis and proposals from Professor Alex Kemp of the University of Aberdeen which sets out how the tax regime could be made more progressive to reduce the tax levied on less profitable projects which may otherwise be permanently shelved.
The paper, UK Continental Shelf Tax Regime - Options for Reform, is being sent to the Chancellor and sets out details of how the following alternative approaches would work:
The first two options would allow companies to be guaranteed a minimum rate of return on investments before the SC was levied. Both systems already operate in other countries and the principles behind them have previously been used by the UK Treasury in the North Sea.
Today's options paper coincides with the publication of 2009 survey data by Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Council for Development and Industry (SCDI), which underlines the importance of oil and gas supply chain opportunities to Scotland - with a 3.7 per cent rise in overall revenues to £15.9 billion, driven by a 10.4 per cent increase in international sales.
The First Minister said:
"North Sea oil and gas makes a huge contribution to the Scottish and UK economies - providing jobs, investment and the majority of these islands' oil and gas needs. It has also provided over £300 billion worth of tax revenue to the UK Government, with the Treasury due to secure around £13.4 billion this year. With some 30 to 40 per cent of oil and gas reserves still to be extracted, it is essential that companies who are investing in the more marginal fields, where exploration and extraction is technically more difficult, are not penalised. Unfortunately the uniform hike in the Supplementary Charge does just that.
"Oil & Gas UK and Prof Alex Kemp, one of the world's foremost energy economists, have warned that the Chancellor's sudden and unexpected raid on North Sea oil and gas will lead to fewer new fields being developed, resulting in a greater level of expensive foreign imports, fewer jobs, a loss of investment and less tax income to future governments.
"I raised these concerns with the Chancellor last month and undertook to provide further details of how the emerging hiatus can be avoided, and investor confidence restored. Building upon Prof Kemp's analysis and suggested approach, Scottish Government economists have now prepared this Options paper. It details how the tax changes can be focused on those who take excess profits without innovating, while ensuring that the continued development of the most technically challenging and mature fields remains viable.
"We strongly favour an Investment Rate of Return Allowance as the most efficient system and the one that would be the most sustainable. I hope the Chancellor gives serious consideration to all three of the options. We have already seen several key projects put on hold in recent weeks so it is essential that the Chancellor heeds the warnings and the analysis of leading experts such as Professor Kemp and acts without delay to protect the long term future of North Sea oil and gas, to safeguard jobs and investment and reduce the prospect of increasing UK dependence on imports."
Over 39 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) have been extracted from the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) since large scale North Sea oil and gas production started in the 1970s.
Oil and Gas UK estimate that around 900 million boe were produced last year - accounting for 94 per cent of UK oil demand and 68 per cent of gas demand. The oil & gas industry employs 440,000 jobs acrosee the UK, including almost 200,000 in Scotland.
In 2011-12, North Sea oil and gas is forecast to generate £13.4 billion in tax revenue, a record high in nominal terms. And over the five years from 2011-12 to 2015-16 it is forecast to raise £61 billion in tax revenue, 35 per cent more than during the previous five years.
The decision announced in the March 2011 Budget, without prior consultation, to raise the Supplementary Charge from 20 per cent to 32 per cent means North Sea operators face an overall tax rate of 81 per cent for fields given development approval before March 1993 and 62 per cent for fields approved after this date.
The uniform increase in the SC on all fields and investments, regardless of their potential profitability, means many marginal investments are no longer considered viable.
In recent weeks it has been reported that a number of key projects have already been put on hold, including Statoil's development of the new Mariner and Bressay fields to the south-east of Shetland.
The SCDI/SE Survey of International Activity in the Oil & Gas Sector 2009-10, also published today, shows Scotland's oil & gas supply chain posted sales of £15.9 billion in 2009. revenues in the domestic market during the survey period were at £8.7 billion in 2009 compared to £8.8 billion in 2008, while international sales increased 10.4 per cent to £7.2 billion.

Hi everybody,
You might of noticed over the past day and a bit your signature went missing.
Basically we were adjusting settings for people in different groups(I'll explain what that means in a few). This is to stop or help us from being spammed by malevolent people and to protect our users.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about so we decided to write this to explain it a bit better and how the process works.
So, groups, basically your in a different group at different points.
When you join, you are in a group which has no avatar, limited signature space, no Private messaging other members, no sending email to other members and you cannot upload images to the gallery. (This was the new group that was introduced that has caused the confusion).
When you reach 20 post s's you get avatar privileges and a larger signature space and can upload images to the gallery.
When you reach 50 posts, you get even more signature space, and private messaging and emailing is enabled.
I hope this sorts out some of the confusion and you understand the privileges that you will receive for being a long term poster.

For now this is the best cleanser that I have found for my oily/sensitive skin. I use it as a morning cleanser, followed by tea tree water toner and vanishing cream moisturiser.
Pros: it makes into a lovely lather and leaves my skin feeling thoroughly clean, smells great, good for sensitive areas of skin
Cons: only controls oil for a few hours.
I will continue to use this cleanser as it has helped sensitive skin and control blemishes, would love to find a better oil control solution though.

Look, this may not be your cup of tea as a face wash, but it makes a brilliant spot treatment.
Which also makes it a lot more affordable. You only need to buy a wee block and keep it in Lush sample container! Once it gets a little wet, it softens into more of a paste. LOVE it. I even wear it overnight. Doesn't stain the sheets.

For about two years now; I have a bad breakout because of the Texas weather being hot and humid. I grew up here with weather acting up here and there but has never broken me out severely as the last two years.
I have thyroid problem since 2005 but was on and off of the levothyroxine, still didnt give me severe breakout back then. Since 2010. I have been trying to get it under control because without it my skin get severely oily now day. I have also switch my medication to SYNTHROID brand this time. It made a difference in my skin, help clearing my skin up.
My skin have reacted to something i tried an essence and broke me out since. The last two years, I have try to normalize my skin by sticking to my skin routine since highschool. IT didnt work, being so frustrated after trying so many product for neutrogena, clean and clear, olay,biore, acne.org and sephora acne controlling item like (dermadocter, first aid, ect). I even tried going to the dermatologist, she gave all the acne medicated cream that isn't helping. It only strip my skin all the
layer causing severe irittation to dust and pollen in the air. sometimes it swell up at ramdom area on my face like a bee sting.
Then i saw someone recommended using this product for their acne prone skin on youtube, so i tried it. Its been working great for me since. calming my skin and help rebuilting my skin layer. I have less skin reaction since then.
The only problem with this product is that i get more blackhead around my nose and around my mouth. NOT sure if this product causes the blackheads but is better than those painful sistic acne.
My skin like the seqeacky clean feeling. I use an extractor for those blackhead and recently incorparted Mario Baudesco Silver power for it and once a day dose of my dermadoc salisylic cleanser with my clarisonic that previously causes breakout everytime i use it before.
When i feel like my skin need a bit of brightening, i used olay total effects once or twice a week. my skin does not like to much moisterizer.I think my skin is just going through one of those adult acne phase as i am 29 now.
hope this help!

So first off, this is my very first review and I'm glad to be finally joining the MUA community, as I find it a very useful guide when purchasing beauty products. I couldn't think of a better product to write my firs review on. This stuff is nothing short of amazing! But please remember, just because it works for me, doesnt mean it will work for everyone, it all depends on your skin type and that goes for any product really. I have TROUBLESOME skin... and when i say troublesome, I mean "pain in the a**". I have a new pimple appear on my face just about everyday cuz my skin type is combination (slightly more on the oily side on my T-zone) and sensitive (ever since I started using harsh chemicals on my skin to reduce the acne). A friend recommended that I use the Clinique 3-step system in 4, which, if anything, just worsened my acne BY ALOT. So i had to do some immediate healing and then I found this *cue the light from above and angels singing*. This is just what my skin needed, some nice and gentle TLC after all that benzyl Peroxide, clindoxyl gel AND stievamycin (which is a HUGE NO-NO for sensitive skin). Forget the creams, now I just use a mild cleanser, then use a VERY GENTLE scrub (to remove dead skin buildup, which will help skin breathe), and then a use the fresh farmacy. Little on the pricey side but it does wonders for sensitive skin :) OH and I much rather prefer this over Coalface, that broke me out as well -_-, all in all, great investment and a definite re-buy! Hope this helped, good luck guys!

i wanted to try this product as everybody talks about it. First it is hard to use as they give you a slice of the huge thing and it could be at least 100grams. It doesnt lather like a soap so if you wet the whole thing you need to play with it in your hand for a while to get some product melted . If you dont want to use the whole product then you need to break some small parts of it in order to use it. When I get it first it was so solid and difficult to disolve with water, hard to cut, hard to apply etc. By the time I use it it has become softer with the water contact. I kept it in a container and try not to get the whole product with water most of the time. But still it carried on melting and the oil in the product seperated at the bottom of the container. left was a mushy soapy creamy product which was easier to apply but still do not like this product. if a tiny drop of it goes into your eyes , it is blinding and burns your eyes to hell. it doesnt come in a container , it helps the world so what, it is hard to use it. it is a huge chunk of something that you try to wash your face with it. besides it doesnt do anything to my face, i didnt see any changes or improvements. It doesnt clean the make up on my face with a first wash, i need to wash my face at least 3 times to get rid of the make up. So lush products smell good, look good but not usable for me.

I was very disappointed with this product. It's extremely drying, and I don't even have naturally dry skin. I liked the texture of the soap itself, it was very creamy, but it made my skin very dry and itchy. I would not buy it again.

Although this cleanser does not look like anything special it really has done wonders for my skin. I never knew that the harsh products I had been using to combat my acne-prone skin was doing more bad than good. My skin is also pretty sensitive so its definitly gentle but effective.

I love the smell but this did not work out for me. Ii bought it when I started to notice that my head had pimples popping out and needed to change cleansers. So I bought it thinking its freshly made from natural stuff. Thank god i only bought a small wedge. I read reviews about how it would turn mushy if left wet so I cut it to s,all pieces and use one piece for every time I need to wash my face. After a while my pimples spread to my nose area and I eventually had eczema there. This is quite drying.

I have dry/sensitive skin with the oilier section through the t-zone and prone to breakouts around the chin and sides of my face. I thaught I would try this because it was promoted as being a gentle cleanser that would help reduce breakouts. This product worked fine on first use and I noticed an overnight reduction in spots and redness, however by the third day using this it had started to severly burn the skin on my cheeks. My skin was red, scaling and broken capillaries started to surface! I was mortified! I instantly stopped using this product due to fear I would do permanent damage to my skin. I spent about a week repairing the damage using a very mild cleanser, deep moisturiser and rose hip oil. I have now switched to Lush's ultrabland cleanser which is much better for drier/sensitive skin and only use the fresh farmacy a few days a week and restricted to the oiler sections of my face. I am finding this is working well and the fresh farmacy has really cleared the spots, while the ultrabland has put moisture where it needs it.

I have oily, acne-prone skin and decided to try it. While it did make my face less red, which I love, it didn't do much for my acne or my oily-ness. I'm not too keen on the smell either but I got used to it pretty quickly. It's about 10$ for a 100 mg's so it isn't too expensive, it lasts forever. Would recommend it for people who don't have oily skin. I think it would work well otherwise.

With Wan confidently orchestrating jump scares and bonkers plot twists, this is hugely hokey horror fun that's the match of the original. Bring all the fingers you can - you'll need them to peek through.

I hope you release the mod when its done an not when its in beta or anything.
Also good job so far.
As of July 2015, Deus Ex: Nihilum has effectively entered its end-of-life product stage, meaning that no further technical support will be provided by FastGamerr. Deus Ex: Nihilum (DXN, DEN or Nihilum for short) is a First Person Shooter mod taking place in an alternate Deus Ex continuity - released on May 28th 2013. It features new made-from-scratch original content, while also extensively featuring material from the UNATCO Born mod (used with permission from fender2k1, UB's project leader) and Deus Ex: Revision (used in accordance with the mod's license).
OUTDATED NEWS, PLEASE DO NOT REGARD ANY FURTHER. New video and last screenshots before release! Deus Ex Nihilum has officially reached Alpha status: The main storyline is playable from the beginning to the end. More advanced alpha release will hopefully be finished later in the summer, when the serious search for voice actors will begin.

DXN WIP June 2012 - Mission Briefing - Mod DB
Newspost amended on July 1st 2012
Here are the FINAL WIP Screenshots before release along with a sneak peek into the actual gameplay content itself. I hope you enjoy these updates, since they will be the last media updates before release. Future newsposts will focus on voice acting and other issues. DXN might be closer to ZODIAC and Ritter Park than TNM in scale but I think that's already damned great company!
Greetings, everyone! I hope you've enjoyed your summer thus far.
Here are some great news from the Deus Ex Nihilum front: The mod is officially in alpha stage. To clarify, the main storyline of the mod is playable from the beginning to the end.
Even then, there's still much work to do. I haven't began working on the cutscene levels (i.e. intro and endings) yet. Generally speaking, the current levels offer only one way of finishing the main quest (and practically require you to invest in the Computer skill) and the architecture is nowhere near its finished stages - not to mention that enemies, cameras and other security features are largely missing.
But the mod has progressed better than I ever imagined. Quite honestly, I never expected it to reach this stage. ;>_> Now that the skeleton of the mod has been finished, it's time to add in all the flesh, vital organs, nerves, nanoaugmentations, overused metaphors and hopefully some pants-defying Deus Ex goodness.
Thus far this summer has been most fruitful for DX: Nihilum and I hope it's going to continue that way (my vacation's just half-way over!). Currently I'm fine-tuning the extant content (I have over 200 notes that I'll have to go over with the current stuff before moving on to new additions) and hopefully by the end of the summer the mod is going to be closer to the beta stages. As I've mentioned before, I'm going to start the serious search for all the missing voice actors later this summer. My requirements for the main (and second tier) characters are going to be tougher, but for the remaining parts you just really need to have a good microphone. And naturally, willingness to record whatever lines I've come up with ;) More later!
Stay tuned!

I hope you release the mod when its done an not when its in beta or anything.
Also good job so far.
Exactly my plan. This means that no matter what, by January 1st 2013 there will be a mod that includes the full main storyline and the release will follow after all the voice acting and beta testing are complete.
Glad to hear you are happy with the overall development.
And thanx for the quick update.
We're looking forward for more!
Talk about great news to discover while having lunch. Keep it up. :)
"Deus Ex Nihilum has officially reached Alpha status: The main storyline is playable from the beginning to the end."
That's called a beta, my friends.
Anyway, congratulations and good luck!
Hmm, maybe! I decided to follow the same ALPHA-BETA-RELEASE staging I did with TODOA (my Jedi Knight mod). In other words, once you're able to actually complete the mod from the beginning to the end in at least one way, it's in the alpha stage. Everything before that is pre-alpha and everything before the release is beta. Luckily I don't make computer software >_>
That acting and dialogue seemed a little forced, imo. Besides that, everything seems to be proceeding fine, but... especially the bit about "prose". Was that supposed to be a joke? Was he serious? Either way it didn't really feel like it worked.
Just thinking out loud.
I think that once you get to hear more of the in-game dialogue, you might see this conversation in a different light. That, of course, will take a while though ;]
RELEASE? I'm stoked. Going to have to install Dueses Ex.
Now that's still gonna take a long long while ;]

No Surprise Time Warner CEO Supports Hulu Content Lockdown
Currently, viewers are required only to register for an online account to view films, television series' and documentaries on their PCs, laptops and tablets.
The company is now pondering a change from their current, 'free content for all', business model to a new, 'authentication' model. This means that customers would have to log in with their satellite or cable TV account number.
A move toward authentication would mean that viewers could no longer stream films such as 'Robinson Crusoe', which stars former James Bond actor Piers Brosnan, free of charge on their computers. They could no longer access Helen Mirren's touching performance in 'The Queen, ' the story of one of the saddest public tragedies in recent times, the sudden death of Diana, Princess of Wales.
Provident Equity Partners recently sold 10 per cent of their share in the company. There are rumors that this sale may be what catalyzed the potential move toward authentication. These rumors are as yet unconfirmed.
It is no surprise that the CEO of Time Warner, Jeff Bukes, has spoken in favor of Hulu's potential content lockdown. Cable companies stand to benefit from providing their content. Hosting this new material would make their subscriptions more appealing to the consumer.
Authentication will take years to fully implement. When it does, Hulu and other live streaming companies could see their audience diminish. They currently earn their income from advertising. The company recently reported USD 420 million in ad revenue. Charges for advertising go hand in hand with audience share. As their audience shrinks, so will the amount they will be able to collect from their advertisers. Cable companies will therefore also be in a position to benefit from this lucrative income stream.

- How to Read a Study Record
- Different parts of the brain are involved in feeling touch. Researchers want to study whether repetitive magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the sensory cortex affects how sensation feels. rTMS is a repeated magnetic pulse that interferes with brain activity. It affects a small part of the brain beneath the scalp. Researchers want to find out the role of sensory cortex in sensing different types of touch.
- To find out the role of sensory cortex, a brain area, in sensing different types of touch.
- Healthy adults ages 18 45.
- Participants will be pre-screened with a telephone interview. Then they will be screened with physical and psychological exams and a urine test.
- In Session 1, participants will have an MRI brain scan and fill out questionnaires.
- For MRI, a magnetic field and radio waves take pictures of the brain. Participants will lie on a table that slides in and out of a metal cylinder. A coil will be placed over their head. They will perform a task during the scan. The scanner makes loud knocking noises. Participants will get earplugs. They will be in the scanner for up to 60 minutes.
- In Sessions 2 and 3, participants will take Breathalyzer and urine tests. Their perception of touch will be measured. Then rTMS will be used to stimulate their sensory cortex and scalp for about 20 minutes. Their perception of touch will be measured again.
- For rTMS, a wire coil is held on the scalp. A brief electrical current passes through the coil and creates a magnetic pulse that affects activity in the brain.

This study will test how parts of sensory cortex relate to different aspects of touch sensation. 24 healthy male and female adults (ages 18-45) will be enrolled. We will use low frequency repetitive transcutaneous magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to temporarily reduce activation in parts of the sensory cortex and will examine the effect of this procedure on perception of touch stimuli. After screening, participants will undergo three testing sessions. Session 1 will involve questionnaires and anatomical and functional MRI scans (non-invasive brain imaging) that will be used for localizing the correct regions to stimulate with the rTMS. Sessions 2 and 3 will involve active and control rTMS and testing of gentle (non-painful) touch sensation.

You have the right to get an easy-to-understand summary about a health plan's benefits and coverage.
Insurance companies and group health plans must provide you with:
A short, plain-language Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC)
A Uniform Glossary of terms used in health coverage and medical care
This information allows you to make "apples-to-apples" comparisons when you're looking at different plans.
All individual and group health plans must use the same standard form to help you compare plans. The SBC also includes details, called coverage examples, which allow you to see what the plan would cover in 2 common medical situations: diabetes care and childbirth.
You'll find a link to each plan's SBC in the Marketplace when you're comparing plans.
You have the right to get this summary when shopping for or enrolling in coverage.
The SBC is available for every plan in the Marketplace. You'll find a link to it on each plan page when you enroll through the website.
You can also ask for a copy from your insurance company or group health plan at any time. All health plans must provide the SBC to you at important points in the enrollment process, like when you apply for or renew your policy. You can also ask for a copy of the Uniform Glossary to help you understand words used in health coverage and medical care.
Yes. You can get a Summary of Benefits and Coverage for most health plans, including grandfathered plans, whether you get coverage through your employer or buy it yourself.
If you don't speak English, you may be able to get the SBC and Uniform Glossary in your native language upon request. Learn more about resources for people who don't speak English.

Pago Pago, American Samoa - The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) advises that young children may be fearful when they do not understand what is happening around them. The sudden and unexpected nature of terrorism and disaster can cause high anxiety and even panic for them.
Helping children deal with the side effects of disaster can be challenging when adults haven't had adequate time to deal with their own reactions. Faced with these conditions it's important to remember that children are very insightful. They quickly recognize the fear and anxiety that adults are experiencing. Parents and adults should realize this and deal with their own reactions first, before confronting the kids.
Fear and confusion is often the outcome when youngsters are involved in the unexpected. Children become fearful when they do not understand what is happening. They want to feel secure knowing someone is taking care of them and their need for emotional support.
There are many things that can be done to comfort a child in disaster situations:
- The simple act of holding a child is a comfort to them and gives them a sense of security.
- When kids find decisions difficult to make, make decisions for them.
- In a calm, reassuring way adults can share their own feelings of fear and anxiety with their children and then get the children to talk about the disaster.
- Help children release tension. Make things that children can use to pretend they are disaster workers, cops, and firemen.
- If the children start to behave aggressively let them see alternatives to violence as a means of problem solving.
- It is natural for children to display changes in behavior as they work through their anxiety and fear.
Taking extra time with your children will ease their way.
On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. FEMA's continuing mission within the new department is to lead the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first responders, and manages Citizen Corps, the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration.

for 10k it predicts 50 minutes, which is 3 minutes slower than my last time.
I used this to predict my 10k time based off my 5k. At first I was skeptical, thinking it was predicting faster than what I would do, but I actually ended up running faster than the prediction. Based off my 20:39 5k, I was to run just over a 43:00. I ended up running a 42:50 (this could have been a fluke, beginners-luck thing. It was only my second 10k of my life). In terms of per mile pace it was only like a second or so off, which I think is pretty darn good!
Might the predictor require some tuning ?
If I enter 21.0975 (half a marathon) and 1:20:10, the reply for 42.195 is 02:47:08.
According to the explanative text, I would have expected (1:20:10)*2*1.06 = 2:49:57?
The answer 2:47:08 looks like the coefficient would have been 1.0455 instead of 1.06?
(cancel and replace) oops, I missed the point! The formula is (^power)1,06 and not (*multiplied by)1,06.
What FrdricLN said, the formula is good, but it is stated incorrectly, it is to the power of 1.06, not multiplied by it as stated.
congratulations for clearing up a 8 month mystery!
