As I couldn't get my favourite cleanser any more in New Zealand, I decided to give this a go from the reviews on MUA and the fact I could buy it quite cheaply on eBay. I bought the small 2oz to test it out, and I really do like this product. I have found it doesn't get rid of my makeup all that well, but from reading some more on here I may start using a face cloth to take it off instead of just rinsing and see if that makes a difference. I like the fact it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry afterwards and I have seen an improvement in my complexion. I will be re-purchasing the larger size.

This stuff is completely legit, bro. I've been using it for years.
Don't like it for your face for some peculiar reason?
Use it on your legs for the most luxurious, cooling shaving cream your legs have ever experienced.

I use this almost every night to take my makeup off and it is PERFECT!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!! It tingles and feels sooo good!! I love it! i use it as I facial mask some times too!! Also YOU MUST USE THIS AS A SHAVING CREAM FOR YOUR LEGS!! I'm serious it is AMAZING it makes your legs sooo smooth!! Also its great for sunburns it really soothes them! But do not get it in you eyes,it burns!! so please don't try to use it as an eye makeup remover... pheshhh not like i ever did that haha no.. pheshh what are you taking about!! But it is really good so go get!!

This is the only product iam using on my face and it works great. I use it as a facial mask every night and it really makes my skin feel nice and fresh. This is the only product that has not dried out my face which is why I love it so much. If I get a pimple it will minimize it and it will soon go away of course not over night but after a few days the pimple will go away.

It's a classic for a reason. I love how soft this makes my sensitive-combination skin feel after cleansing - completely balanced. The scent and tingle are so refreshing - I just love how it wakes you up in the a.m. but calms you down when you use it to wash your face at night. This rinses clean with no drying after effect - it's a great drugstore find and a cleanser like no other. If you do not develop allergies to this product after you try it, you'll get hooked and no other cleanser comes close. I also like the versatility of this product. Not only can this be used as a cleanser, but as a shave cream and for sunburns as well. I think everyone should keep a tub of this in the medicine cabinet...it's that amazing!
EDIT: I ran out of Noxzema and used another cleanser for a week - no bueno! The other cleanser dried out my skin quickly and gave me little bumps. I quickly ran out and bought another jar of Noxzema - skin issues solved the next morning. I was called a beautiful young lady the other day too - and I'm sure that it has something to do with my Noxzema and Olay (Complete during the day and Original Beauty Fluid at night) ritual! I guess I look a lot younger than my age - some tell me I haven't changed since high school!
EDIT 10/18/12: I suddenly developed atopic dermatitis/eczema on the inside of my elbows last night after a workout...it happens every couple of years for some reason. The temperature during my workout was warmer than usual, so that may have had something to do with it. At any rate, I noticed the bilateral red bumps developing and I freaked out! I didn't want to scratch them, so I quickly ran to the bathroom and found my Noxzema jar. I applied the magic cream and it relieved the discomfort on contact and prevented me from itching. Within a half hour, the bumps were about 50% reduced. By the hour mark, gone! I will never forsake you Noxzema! The travel size is super cute and easy to carry! LOVE THIS STUFF!

This product is fantastic. at first i had purchased it becausei had been severly sunburnt. (THIS IS AMAZING FOR SUNBURN<3) it makes sunburn feel so cool and fresh and it helps heal it. i noticed while using this product that my skin was clearing up. at first i though it was just because of all the sun exposure but i kept using it and my skin looks great. now i dont have bad acne, but i do always have a couple blemishes. with this they go away way faster and stay away. my mom uses this on her face and she still has the most beautiful skin. this is a staple in my skin care:)
this product ended up breaking my out after a month. its a shame because the results were awesome..

This product saved my skin. No, literally, it saved my skin. Since I turned 13, acne was always a stressful problem, and none of the commercial acne treatments helped at all. Certain ones even made it worse, rich with thick oils and stuff. Finally, as a last resort, I turned to Noxzema, thinking that it, like all the other products I tried, would fail me.
I was shocked. Noxzema literally cleared my current breakout in only one week, and continues to keep my face clear. Where as once, I used to always have lots of acne, lots of bumps, now I only get one or two every now and then. This IS the solution to combination-skin acne. It satisfies everything. It's not harsh, and it doesn't hurt my sensitive skin, and yet it's powerful enough to soften and make supple my dry patches and lift the oils and dirt off of my oily patches.

This product is an outstandingly cheap product that works on oily skins for the most part. As I was at a friends house, I used this product, and I noticed a difference in my skin. If you do not have oily skin, this product will not work for you. If you had fair normal skin, it will dry out your skin, so I recommend a moisturizer. Works amazing on me though! (: Really cheap pricing too!

I stumbled upon using this when I ran out of my regular make-up remover cream and had to use what my brother had in his bathroom and I loved it! It's so old-school but it's affordable, accessible (sold at most drugstores) and most of all, effective. My skin's really sensitive to new products and I usually break out but this actually made my skin glow the next day! I use about a quarter-size worth every night and it gets the job done.

Love this! I bought it for my face, but use it primarily to shave my legs now. It gives me a close shave, good smell, and I'm prone to razor bumps. After reading somewhere that this is often used in men's barber shops to shave with, I thought I'd try it.
As a side note. DO NOT buy the equate brand of this, spend the extra dollar and get the real thing. It was so nasty I threw it out. I thought I got a bad jar but then other reviews and discovered I hadn't, it is similar to milk gone bad consistency, not smooth at all, and a bad smell, really bad.
So I'm sticking with the real thing. No razor bumps for me. If you use it on the bikini area, works good, but be careful where you place it. The menthol can, well, you will either be like a KY jelly commercial, or have irritation.

Women's Basketball
Nichols hits the ground running with Skipjacks
Ex-Chesapeake player, assistant coach now running women's program
WYE MILLS Damon Nichols is committed to rebuilding the Chesapeake College women's basketball program.
"I'd like to thank Frank (Szymanski, Chesapeake's athletic director) for believing I can do the job," said Nichols of his recent appointment as the college's head women's basketball coach. "I'm excited to get started. I already have three early commitments from new players and expect to have at least two returning players."
Nichols has a long history with Chesapeake College, dating back to his own playing days in the mid-1990s when he contributed on high-scoring teams led by all-American Errick Roberts and coached by Norm Amorose. He served the last two years as an assistant with Chesapeake head men's basketball coach John Mappas, helping the Skipjacks to the 2008 NJCAA Division I Region XX championship.
Nichols previously served as a member of Steve Perry's boys' basketball coaching staff at North Caroline High School, helping guide the Bulldogs to three North Bayside Division titles and a Bayside Conference championship.
"The thing I learned from both coaches (Mappas and Perry) is you have to be seen and get your name out there," said Nichols, who works at NCHS in the in-school suspension program. "I've done that, and I'm still out recruiting. People are starting to know Chesapeake is on the rise again in women's basketball."
Nichols, who twice served as the North Bayside coach in the annual Bayside Conference girls' basketball all-star game, said the Skipjacks will be known for a very definitive style of play.
"We're going to play defense, and we're going to run up and down the floor," said Nichols, who is recruiting with that style of play in mind. "I learned a lot about defensive philosophy from Coach Mappas, who is really a defensive guru."
While the Skipjacks did not field a women's basketball team last season, the program is only two years removed from having set a school record with 15 victories. Nichols said he is committed to "building a very competitive women's basketball program at Chesapeake."

Torta fragole is a strawberry cake which I prepared for my birthday. I won't be writing a lot about this birthday cake as the basics are the same in most of my cakes.
I have made a Sponge Cake and then some Creme Patisserie and some Whipping Cream. Finally I have made a Strawberry Sauce and put the cake together as follows:
- Basic Sponge Cake: I did the same sponge cake and split the sponge by using a long sharp knife.
- 1 kilo strawberries
savoyard (lady finger) biscuits
- Basic Whipped Cream: (I made much more than usual).
- Basic Creme Patisserie: I made 1/3 of the recipe.
- Strawberry Sauce: I made double the recipe but instead of brandy I added a shot of gooseberry liqueur. However, this is just for extra flavour. You can add strawberry liqueur, raspberry, blackberry or just brandy. If you don't want to add any liqueur just add 1 spoonful of lemon juice.
- Prepare sponge cake from the previous day.
- Wash and select strawberries you will need for decoration (about 25) and set aside. With the remaining follow the directions and make the sauce.
- When the sauce starts to boil for a few minutes, cut the sponge cake with a long and sharp knife and split it into two pieces. Place in a platter and wet it with the strawberry syrup. Place syrup back on heat and boil until sauce thickens. Set aside and let it cool down.
- Meanwhile prepare pastry cream and add a few spoonfuls of strawberries from the sauce. Just add the pieces of strawberries and not the sauce itself. Stir and set aside to cool down but keep stirring from time to time.
- Prepare the whipping cream. I used 750 ml of whipping cream with a spoonful of sugar powder and 1 vanilla, I did not want the cream to be sweet. When the whipping cream is ready remove 3/4 in a bowl. Add another spoonful of sugar powder and mix. Place in the refrigerator to be used later on. In the remaining whipping cream, add a few spoonfuls of strawberries (just the strawberries, not the juice) and mix well but make sure that the sauce is completely cold. When the pastry cream is cold mix in the whipping cream and add this as a first layer on the sponge cake. Before doing so place the ring of the spring form on top of the sponge cake. Add the cream. Cover with the second sponge cake and refrigerate for a few hours.
- When ready to decorate, remove the ring of the spring form and decorate with the whipping cream, the fresh strawberries and strawberry syrup. I also decorated it with the Savoyard biscuits, which I halved and placed half a strawberry between the biscuits.

About Us
Book Store
Thanks for taking the time to check us out.
MedGlobe Synergy is a dynamic, professional pre-hospital training, publishing and consulting company. We are Ontario's first Aid experts, providing superior training and program support to business, industry, OTHER first aid* providers and the community.
We strive to provide you with the highest quality support for the services, products and programs that we offer while remaining sensitive to the needs of our customers through continued product development. MedGlobe Synergy will endeavour to take a leadership role, in the industry that we represent and in the communities in which we live, by providing superior quality product delivery and customer support.
We knew that we wanted to do what everyone else claimed to do, that is to create a company that offers a unique product to our customers. So how do we do that? How do we do what everyone else is doing and make it unique?
Our core team of instructors are Paramedics. We want our instructors to live pre-hospital emergency medicine. We understand, intimately, what we teach, because we use the skills that we teach to others every day.
We also have a complement of specialized instructors with backgrounds that range from wilderness rescue to aquatics, to risk management and mitigation and survival.
As you are well-aware, to teach in Ontario, you have to be provincially-recognized. There are many different courses available throughout the provinceeach with their own special tricks, treats and methods of delivery. But the fact is, there are really only so many different ways to teach bleeding control, CPR and choking management. Most of it, youve seen before, just with a little twist on the theme. One way that we make our courses different is to provide an experience for our participants. One of the ways that we create our experience is with the best equipment to teach the topics that youve probably come to know verbatim. Essentially, we look to give you something different...something more.
Even the basic equipment that we use in our courses is of the highest quality. Our CPR mannequins are Laerdal® Little Anne mannequinssimply the best CPR mannequins available. But we dont stop there, we also use mannequins that simulate choking and allow you to practice actual abdominal thrusts on them. We have simulated arms that bleed and simulated arms with wounds that can be bandaged or closed. We have simulated arms that you can learn to take a blood pressure on, and simulated arms that you can start an IV on. We have a leg that you can actually put a traction splint on and it will tell you how much traction you are pulling! We even have a mannequin that breathes on its own and has its own pulse! When its time to learn how to put an oral airway in place, we have mannequins designed just for that skill as well. We have backboards, and fracture boards, KEDS and SKEDs, traction splints and malleable splints and all manner of props and simulated injuries that can be strapped in place to simulate a critically ill or injured patient. When you couple the equipment with our fantastic instructors and our customized training programs we provide everything that we need to make your course an experience.
Our customized programs are based on our provincially and federally-approved programs, but we can do so much more because, in addition to being a training provider, we develop our customized programs, we write them, we publish them and then support them. We truly are a full-service program development and delivery company. Many companies also appreciate the fact that we can provide medical emergency fieldguides suitable for carrying day-to-day. Like all of our programs, our fieldguides can be company branded and customized to a worksite or employment setting.

Cheap alcohol crackdown may not hit Somerset cider
Posted: December 07, 2012|
Traditional West Country cider could be exempt from a Government crackdown on cheap alcohol if it hits jobs in rural areas, a minister has conceded.
Farmers in the cider heartlands of Devon and Somerset have warned they will go out of business if a proposed minimum alcohol price of 45p per unit gets the go-ahead, arguing that their cottage-industry craft products are being unfairly lumped together with super-strength ciders produced in industrial quantities.
Questioned in the House of Commons by Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw on the "devastating" impact the plan could have on the cider industry, Environment Minister Richard Benyon – whose department champions farming – said: "We are working on the issue with the Department of Health and the Home Office.
"We will raise with those departments any instances in which the measure would have a pernicious effect on the rural community, and exceptions may be forthcoming."
Cider makers have complained that drink sold directly from farms will double in price to £13 per gallon, making their businesses unsustainable.
When the policy was announced last week, Julian Temperley, the Somerset producer credited with reviving cider brandy production in Britain, said the plan risks "destroying" a cornerstone of West Country rural life.
The Government wants to outlaw ultra-cheap alcohol sold in supermarkets to tackle the night-time binge-drinking that is blighting Britain's high streets. But craft cider-makers argue that their products are not part of the binge-drinking problem. In contrast, often highly processed and cheap white cider is in the firing line, but it represents only around eight per cent of the cider market, and only half a per cent of the total UK alcohol market.
Mr Bradshaw, Exeter's Labour MP, and a former minister for the region, said the Government should ditch the idea in its entirety.
He said: "Ministers have finally been forced to admit minimum alcohol pricing will have a 'pernicious' impact on West Country cider makers. They make vague references to possible 'exceptions' to protect cider makers – they must now publish the legal advice on this. I have serious doubts that it will be possible to draft exemptions for cider in general – or farm gate sales in particular – that would withstand legal challenge. It would be better if ministers were honest about this, stood up for our cider makers and stopped this damaging proposal now."
Roger Wilkins, of Mudgley, near Wedmore, in Somerset, whose farmhouse cider is enjoyed by actress and model Jerry Hall among others, is one who will be affected. He currently sells 500ml for 75p, and said: "If they had a brain in Parliament they would be dangerous."
Martin Thatcher, managing director and fourth generation cider maker in Sandford, North Somerset, has previously warned: "We are currently planting new orchards here at Thatchers, which is the long term commitment that we as a family-run firm are putting into our business, and into the wider rural economy. Any tax increases will have a disproportionate impact on the industry and consequently the rural economy."

Larsen returned to AHL, Lehtonen looks like the goalie for Saturday
Philip Larsen was returned to the Texas Stars today after his one-game appearance to sub in for Stephane Robidas (one-game suspension). Larsen did not even practice with the NHL team today. Instead, he will probably be in the Texas lineup Saturday against Houston.
As for his one game against the Kings, Larsen looked good in 19+ minutes, but coach Marc Crawford said the 20-year-old defenseman needs time to develop.
Crawford: "I think he's going to be a heck of a player. He made four or five outlet plays at the start of the game that bring you out of your seat. They just say that this guy has got it. On the power play, he was very good. His skating ability sets him apart."
While Andrew Raycroft looked good in a relief appearance (his first appearance of the season), Crawford said he still is leaning toward starting Kari Lehtonen Saturday against Buffalo. It would be Lehtonen's 10th consecutive start.
"We will see him sooner than later, but our schedule right now allows us to play Kari," Crawford said. "He came in and had to make two or three good saves, and he did. That was good for his confidence. He's going to get in. The way we see it, he's missed a start, and he's missed a start because Kari has played so well."
Crawford said he sees Lehtonen playing 60 to 65 games this season, but that the team fully trusts Raycroft.
"He's a very good veteran with great experience, and we definitely trust him," Crawford said.
Raycroft said he felt good in his first appearance and that he will be patient for his first start.
"I'm sure the first 20 minutes when I start, it will be pretty exciting, but I've done it before," Raycroft said. "It's been a while (since he had a start) but it's not like I'm sitting on a couch or anything. I'm here every day working and getting ready, and so I expect to be ready when I play. It's not like they're going to ask me to play baseball or football, they're going to ask me to play hockey. And I've been doing that all of my life."
The Stars are sticking with the move of Jamie Benn to the second line. Here were the practice lines:
James Neal-Brad Richards-Loui Eriksson
Brenden Morrow-Mike Ribeiro-Jamie Benn
Steve Ott-Tom Wandell-Adam Burish
Brian Sutherby-Toby Petersen-Brandon Segal
Nicklas Grossman-Stephane Robidas
Karlis Skrastins-Matt Niskanen
Mark Fistric-Trevor Daley
By the way, Stephane Robidas has been practicing extra long during his couple of off days to serve an automatic one-game suspension for acquiring two game misconduct penalties for boarding in a 41-game span. When I asked him about the extra ice time, he replied: "I'm not trying to make up for anything or prove anything to anybody, I just love the game and I love to practice. It's been good for me to be out there."

A Nation Joined: The Transcontinental Railroad
On May 10, 1869, the east and west ends of the transcontinental railroad were joined 115 miles northwest of Park City. The meeting of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads signaled the ceremonial joining of the United States.
The Golden Spike National Historic Site, in Box Elder County provides a splendid day trip opportunity from Park City. Through September, you can see working replicas of the locomotives that "met" at the site, the Jupiter and the 119. There are two auto tours available: a 14 mile round trip which affords views of the original track locations, and a two mile loop. The tours are self-guided. The Big Fill Walk is a 1.5 mile hike to the last rail and last spike of the massive engineering project.
Interestingly, the golden spike was symbolic. Engineers had hoped to lay a final golden rail and tamp it with the golden spike, but gold is too soft to be spiked or run across by a steam-powered locomotive. You can see the actual, final spike but don't expect it be golden. And you will also be surprised by the gaudy colors of the train replicas. Trains weren't flat black until the twentieth century.
Golden Spike Visitor Center
The Golden Spike Visitor's Center, open year round, features films, talks by park rangers, exhibits and a western history-themed book store.
For more information, call (435) 471-2209, extension 29. The park cautions tourists not to rely on GPS when traveling in the area. Follow road signs instead.
The main part of your drive to the Golden Spike National Historic Site will extend between the eastern and northern shores of the Great Salt Lake and to the east, peaks of the CacheNational Forest, part of the greater WasatchMountain range. There are any number of accessible mountain peaks to explore and wonderful views of the lake along the way.
If you are a Nature Lover…
If you are a nature lover, a special highlight of your day trip is the 41,000 acre Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, fifty miles north of Salt Lake City. The refuge, a chain of fresh and brackish waters and alkali wetlands and 5,000 acres of grasslands, is acclaimed as one of the world's ten best birding places.
Millions of birds stop there in the fall, including the American avocet, black-necked stilt, tundra swan, American white pelican and snowy plover. Wildlife at Bear River includes mule deer, yellow-bellied marmots, long-tailed weasels and coyotes and fox. The grasslands are home to thousands of sandhill cranes.
Stop at historic Ogden for lunch, especially if you like Japanese food (Ohana Sushi, Tona, Temari, and Hanamaru restaurants—go figure!). Mountains loom in every direction. Hike on one of the area's 210 miles of maintained trails.
At Syracuse, drive west to the Antelope Island causeway and explore Utah's largest island, now Antelope Island State Park, discovered by John C. Fremont and Kit Carson in 1845. A herd of bison have lived on the island for well over a hundred years. You can also see porcupine, bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, bobcat and may varieties of birds. No humans live on the island. It is a popular destination for mountain climbing (2,000 feet), hiking, biking and sight seeing.
If you're still filled with wanderlust, add points to your states list and dip north into Idaho or east into Wyoming. You'll still be within shouting distance of the fine dining and cultural events in and around beautiful Park City, Utah.
Whether Park City is your destination or your pit stop, your perfect resting place for all of the above is the inviting and affordable Park City Peaks Hotel, with splendid mountain views, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, the Rustic Creek Grille, the Upper Deck Sports Bar and much more. Park City Peaks Hotel is within three miles of a municipal golf course, Park City Mountain Resort and the Canyons Ski Area.

British author Andrew Grant hit the thriller scene in a big way with his 2009 debut, Even. Starring rogue spy David Trevellyan, the novel was a favorite of Whodunit columnist Bruce Tierney, among others, and marked the launch of a series that will continue in May with Die Twice. Recently Grant traveled from his home in Birmingham, England, to participate in a conference in Birmingham, Alabama. Here, he gives a behind-the-scenes look at the weekend's events.
Half an hour from the airport, bogged down in heavy traffic, threading our way through the lattice of raised, sweeping concrete highways towards Birmingham city centre. I was starting to feel right at home. But this wasn't spaghetti junction, and we weren't in the heartland of England. We were in Birmingham, Alabama, on our way to the Murder in the Magic City writing conference—followed by the annual Murder on the Menu dinner in nearby Wetumpka—over the weekend of February 6 and 7. The first included talks by authors, featuring best-selling writers S.J. Rozan and C.J. Box on Saturday, and the second was a 'moving feast' with the same 16 crime fiction authors on Sunday.
Both days offered a wonderful opportunity to meet enthusiastic readers, talk to other writers and listen to a wide variety of stimulating and informative panels. I'd be hard pressed to say which I enjoyed more, but was delighted to part of two evenings that were not only enjoyable, but which raised funds for two very worthwhile causes—the national Crime Lab project, and the Wetumpka Public Library.

Annapolis, Maryland, the state capital and the seat of Anne Arundel County. It lies on the Severn River near Chesapeake Bay, 23 miles (37 km) south of downtown Baltimore and 30 miles (48 km) east of Washington, D.C. The U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Naval Institute, and St. John's College are here. The State House (built during 1772–79) is the oldest capitol in use in the United States and is a national historic landmark. Boat building, food processing, and tourism are chief industries.
Annapolis was settled in 1649 by Puritans who called it Providence. It became a colonial capital in 1694, and the next year it was renamed Annapolis after Princess Anne, later queen of England. A city charter was granted in 1708. For a year, 1783–84, Annapolis was the national capital. The Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary War, was signed here by Congress in 1784. The Annapolis Convention met here in 1786. Annapolis has the mayor-council form of government.
Population: 35,838.

College's conservation garden has new leader
rancho San Diego
The Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College has named John Bolthouse III as its new executive director, succeeding Marty Eberhardt, who is retiring. Bolthouse is a native of Louisiana with extensive experience in the nonprofits, most recently as executive director of the La Jolla Historical Society since 2006. From 2000 to 2006, Bolthouse worked at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, first as head archivist then as curator and chief operating officer.
The garden, which is nearly five acres, showcases plots of native plants and vegetables. It also has displays on irrigation and how to use mulch, and offers classes in landscaping, gardening and other topics. Admission is free.
Richard Wright, Water Conservation Garden board president, said Bolthouse's broad range of skills in nonprofit management and extensive fundraising experience impressed the search committee, staff and volunteers involved in the interview process.
Bolthouse also serves on the board of directors of the San Diego Museum Council, of which the garden is a member.

Was the driver chemically impaired?
A young lady was the driver of a van when her vehicle was struck from behind. The force of the impact caused her to be thrown from the van. A blood sample taken from the driver showed a level of 0.035 mg/liter of Morphine, leading the attorneys to conclude that she was impaired at the time of the accident.
A young woman was brought into the emergency room following an accident. Her face was swollen and there was a dressing under her nose. Her urine contained 0.4 mg/liter of benzoylocgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, leading the attorneys to conclude that she was impaired at the time of the accident.
A man was driving through an intersection when his car struck another. His emergency room record stated "AOB" and the physician progress notes stated "+ETOH." A BAC was ordered. The attorney representing her wanted to know what these terms meant and if he was impaired when he was in the accident.
The determination of impairment rests on a careful analysis of specimen values and timing. In the first situation, it was tempting to conclude that the driver had taken either heroin or morphine prior to the accident. Heroin metabolizes into morphine, and got its name because it was the "heroic drug" that was supposed to save people from opium addictions. Heroin can be injected or inhaled, and shows up in the blood and urine as morphine. In this case, the driver denied using heroin before the accident. The question of timing of the specimen was crucial. Review of the emergency room record shows that the patient received 5 mg of morphine intravenously at 9:00 AM in the emergency room. The blood specimen taken to test for drugs was drawn at 9:30 AM . Until we pointed out the timing, the attorneys had not realized that the patient was given morphine in the emergency room before the blood was removed.
In the second situation, the substance in question was cocaine. This substance can be chewed, sniffed, injected, or smoked, yielding different levels of cocaine depending on the dose taken. Benzoylecgonine is present in the body for 2-3 days following use of cocaine. Benzoylecgonine peaks in the urine within 4-8 hours and diminishes slowly to an average of 0.4 mg/liter for 48-72 hours. The answer to whether this woman was impaired, and how she got cocaine, was found in her surgical history. At first, the emergency room personnel assumed that the First Aid Squad had applied a dressing to the nose of the patient. However, when the patient was questioned, she said she had a nose job two days before. A submucous resection (or "nose job") involves the use of cocaine to constrict the blood vessels in the nose. The application of cocaine to her nose resulted in detection of benzolecgonine on the day of the accident. It was unlikely that it had any effect on her ability to drive two days later.
In the third situation, our skill in deciphering medical abbreviations led us to the conclusion that the emergency room personnel smelled alcohol on the patient's breath. AOB stands for "alcohol on breath." ETOH is the chemical formula for ethyl alcohol, hence a + (positive) ETOH has the same meaning as AOB. To determine the patient's blood alcohol level, a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) was ordered. This test, also referred to as BAL (blood alcohol level) was .09. The driver said he was in a bar drinking wine before the accident. Using a blood alcohol concentration calculator and her recorded weight of 170, it could be determined that he had to have consumed at least five 3.5 ounce glasses of wine to result in this blood alcohol level 1 hour after leaving the bar. With the national push to define a BAC of .08 as impaired, there is no question that he was impaired at the time of the accident.
Evaluation of toxicology results is made easier with a legal nurse consultant and standard references such as Baselt, Randall, Disposition of Toxic Drugs and Chemicals in Man, and Garriott, James, Garriott's Medicolegal Aspects of Alcohol, which comes with a blood alcohol concentration calculator. Contact us for help with deciphering these issues for you.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A worker has been crushed and killed by a crane
at the construction site of the MGM Mirage's CityCenter casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip.
Clark County fire spokesman Scott Allison says the man was ronounced dead on the scene at about 7 a.m. Saturday.
It was at least the sixth construction death at the CityCenter site.
Allison says the worker was oiling the crane when he apparently
became caught between the counter weight system and the track of
the crane.
Allison says the crane did not fall. No one else was injured.
State safety officials are investigating.
The massive CityCenter complex includes six high-rise towers. It's estimated to cost up to $8.4 billion and open in the fall of 2009.

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- I would not recommend that anyone rent from this company. Three things went wrong with our rental car while we had it and all they did was note our file about it. The thing that topped the cake was our tire pressure light went off and I called in and they said it could be a number of things like the cold weather. The last day we had the car we got a flat tire 160 miles from the rental company.
The company was rude to us about it and did not care. They wanted us to use our own AAA to fix. Told us there was a spare tire in the trunk and it wasn't. We were 1 hour late returning the car because we had to fix it ourselves with fix a flat and ride slow on the freeway to get back and they still charged us an extra day.
Advantage was listed substantially lower in price that all other car rental companies when I did a search on Travelocity and a few other sites. I was skeptical since the price was around 40% cheaper and thought there must be a catch. I took a chance and went with Advantage, thinking that I would probably get an older vehicle, poor service, or hidden charges.
Surprisingly, there were no surprises. The shuttle came quickly. When we reached the pick-up location, the lines were quite long, but understandable with the low prices. When I got the car, I was pleasantly surprised to get a relatively new (less than 4500 miles), well-equipped Chevy Malibu with XM satellite radio. When I returned the vehicle, I was charged exactly what I was quoted (I had declined all options). No surprises, pleasant service, a nice new vehicle. Will definitely rent from them again.
The worst in customer service and a real bait and switch. They are also Hertz so you will get no solution to the problem. Every number to solve the problem leads you back to the office you rented from. Hertz and Advantage don't care about you and your well-being. The office I rented from was the Advantage in the Hilton airport hotel in West Palm beach. You get there and you are stuck to rent from them. So they have no office space at the airport so you wait for someone to pick you up. Don't deal with Cheapo.com either.
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- Do not -- DO NOT ever rent a car from Advantage in Miami... Important.. this is dangerous! Here's why: Unlike all the other rental car companies in Miami, Advantage does not have signs leading you back to the Advantage return location even if you have a GPS, Advantage does not include their address on their paperwork.
The area around their location is a BAD area of Miami, and you WILL get lost, like the dozens of other Miami renters I have talked to. They do NOT answer their phone, so essentially you are lost in the worst part of Miami with no reasonable way to find their location. I was on the shuttle with 6-8 renters who were all missing their flights (some international) because of this issue.
And here's the best part: when you complain, they tell you: "sorry, you should have arrived two hours earlier!" (P.S. they rented me a car with a flat tire). Whatever it costs to rent from Hertz or Avis, do so because in the long run it will be cheaper after you pay for a new flight because you missed your original flight.
SALT LAKE CITY AIRPORT -- I rented a car through Advantage Car Rental at Salt Lake City airport from October 14-16, 2009. I had already pre-paid using Hotwire, and made it very clear to the salesperson that I did not want any additional insurance or options since my insurance covers me for all of North America. Not only did the salesperson ignore my request, she went on to tell me that I needed an SUV, snow tires because there is snow on the highway for the drive into Idaho. Not only was this untrue, when my wife mentioned she had checked the weather the salesperson justified it by saying there's always a chance.
Thinking that she had honoured our request, we gladly took our car rental and were on our way. When we came to return the car we were surprised by the attendant wanting us to pay more for the additional insurance. The same salesperson happened to be at the counter. When we asked her why she charged us for something we didn't want, she denied my declining the additional insurance, and furthermore went on to lie to her manager about trying to up-sell winter gear.
She went to laugh at us, mock us about not knowing what we were talking about, and claim that we lied about the rental. Not only was this the most unprofessional experience I have had with a car rental salesperson, but it was humiliating. The sales manager had to ask the employee to stop laughing and leave the counter. The manager stated he was sorry and was only authorized to give us 50% of the erroneous charge back. I have emailed the company and am waiting to hear back.
On December 26, 2008, I landed on Maui Island, holding a print out of my car reservation with Advantage, which I had booked on Hawaiian Airline website a few weeks before. But Advantage booth was closed and there is only a Customer Support phone number written on the window. No one answered my call and the next door Car Rental company, Enterprise, offered $250 a day. As it was the only one still having cars available, I had no choice but swallow the rip-off. I thought this kind of things only happen in countries like China.
I want to go after this ordeal. Any suggestions?
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- My wife and I flew into Chicago's Midway Airport for the Christmas Holiday. When we searched for rental car companies through various search engines we ended up at Advantage because their prices were lower than any others. We did not go through Advantages website to book the rental but through the airline's site. Advantage was also the only rental car company that did not have a rental kiosk right on the airport property. You had to go outside and wait for their van to pick you up. We flew out of Providence RI and we had a snowstorm delay that affected our takeoff time so we didn't land into Chicago until 40 minutes past our originally scheduled time. The weather in Chicago was minus -6 degrees with a minus -20 wind chill factor. We had to wait almost an hour for our bags because the baggage handlers could only handle so many flights in the frigid weather. We went outside with our bags to wait for the van and it never came. I went inside and called their number and was given an automated message to press 1 for a pickup and went back outside. Still no van. Finally one of the other rental car van drivers asked who I was waiting for and when I told him Advantage he told me that they were closed! Closed!? Who closes at 9:30pm on Christmas weekend. We tried finding a rental car through any of the other companies but no one had a vehicle. We had to pay $60 to take a cab to our hotel then call my brother the next day and ask him to drive to our hotel and drive us to Advantage by the airport. When we got to Advantage the stony-faced attendant unapologically told me that I should have checked their hours when I made the reservation. This is the LAST time we will ever use Advantage. The only advantage is that they make you feel like an idiot for using them.
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- My wife and I just returned from our bi-annual trip to southern Arizona, where we rented a car from Advantage for the first time. We had received the 'best rate' through Travelocity, but when we arrived at the Advantage counter in Sky Harbor Airport, the woman at the counter refused to honor the price given to us by Travelocity, rudely telling me that there were "taxes that Travelocity could not compute", because the company was not familiar with the local taxes. When asked to speak to a manager, the woman at the counter responded by saying that "a manager won't come up here for this", and refused to call the manager. When we went downstairs to pick up our rental car, my wife asked the fellow behind the counter if he could remedy the error made by the woman upstairs. He looked at the paperwork and made a face, saying that he 'knew what happened'. When she pressed him further he quietly said that the employees often add charges to the rental for additional insurance, without asking the customer. He corrected the paperwork to reflect what we had been originally been quoted.
Although I am grateful to this young man for correcting this, his confession and this experience on the whole left a bitter taste in our mouths. We will certainly never rent from Advantage again.
TORONTO -- Do NOT ever rent a car from Autowise, an affiliate of Advantage car rental in Canada. I was quoted a price of $274 and ended up paying close to $500. Autowise slaps a mandatory $8.95 mandatory insurance liability charge for everyday of your rental. This is not explained when you rent the car even though you sign a waiver saying you do not want insurance and they assure you that you do not have insurance. On returning the car, they say that you had waived collision insurance but not the mandatory liability insurance that the company requires.
It's a scam and all the customers who came in to return their cars were shocked and upset at having to pay this hidden cost.
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- The folks @ Advantage in Houstons Bush airport are great. Rented a car from them and they were friendly from the start. Had to extend the rental due to a family emergency and they made the transaction such a positive experience. Not only friendly and efficient but caring as well as to what we were going through. Great team!

In his latest effort to generate offense from his sputtering team, Flyers coach Peter Laviolette on Thursday stuck Danny Briere on the left wing of his buddy Claude Giroux's line. Wayne Simmonds remains on the right wing.
Laviolette used the combination late in the 2-1 loss at the Rangers on Monday. It produced no goals, but it looked good enough to give it another chance in Washington tomorrow night.
"We had some success with Matt Read on there," Laviolette said. "We weren't generating as much offensively as we would have liked, in New York, so we put Danny there. There's probably going to be more switches, even if we reel off 10 in a row."
Actually, if they reel off 10 in a row and stay healthy, nothing this important will change.

Yet, the novel never feels weighed down by its dark moments, in Jacob's sure hand, the narrative moves soft as breeze. The novel opens with a prologue where a mother complains to her daughter about her father's latest shenanigans, affectionately, of course, and not without dollops of wry humour. It's enough to pull you into their story, buoyant with everyday conversations that are comic, tragic, and often both.
Hailed as the new Jhumpa Lahiri, Jacob soars with a voice entirely her own, less bleak and more vibrant. The themes are similar—of the Indian immigrant experience in America as they make their way about, as Jacob puts it, "a stolen country". We follow the lives of the Eapens, a family of four, Syrian Christians who've made the stark landscape of Albuquerque, New Mexico, their home. The book moves seamlessly between Salem, Tamil Nadu, in the late '70s, the place where the extended Eapen family is based, and Albuquerque in the '80s and '90s, with flashes of Seattle.
Though not written in first person, this is, in many ways, the story of the Eapens as observed by their younger child, Amina. She's only 11 when she witnesses the extended family fall apart, and a little older when a serious tragedy strikes the family. She observes fragile relationships become more fragile. Her older brother, Akhil, her housewife mother, Kamala, her brain surgeon father, Thomas, are like characters in a play, as Amina watches from the wings, underestimating the power of her own mind. When tragedy strikes the family yet again, Amina is in her teens, watching her parents struggling to cope, and left to her own devices. She emerges some 15 years later as a reserved, under-confident but talented photographer based in Seattle. She's trying to deal with a professional crisis of her own when her mother, Kamala, shakes her up with some fresh, disturbing news: her father has apparently been talking to his dead mother and other relatives out on the porch in the dead of the night. It's time for her to make the journey home to Albuquerque, Amina decides, to set things right.
Jacob captures the discomfort of her characters with themselves and their world with a keen sense of having been there. The novel is not exactly autobiographical, but there are similarities between Jacob's life and the Eapen story. That gives her an edge, allowing her to create characters that are full-bodied, flawed and endearing in their various quirks. As Amina's life unravels towards the end of the novel, it also comes together in many ways, leaving many loose ends while tying up a few others. Isn't life like that?

text: Saudi Man Jailed After Bragging About Sex on TV He earns 5 years and 1,000 lashes By Harry Kimball, Newser Staff Posted Oct 7, 2009 2:37 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (21) (Newser) – A Saudi man has been sentenced to 5 years in jail and 1,000 lashes after boasting about his sexual promiscuity on a TV show. Broadcast in July, it features the man displaying sex toys and talking up his exploits. Three friends who appeared on camera got 2-year sentences, notes the BBC. The man's lawyer plans to appeal, saying the TV station—its Saudi office is now closed—is to blame. "My client has been presented to the people as a scapegoat to cover up the real culprit."

When do you clean?
When the kids are awake? or when they are asleep?
I do some of both. Mostly when they are awake, but sometimes I'll tidy up at night right before I go to bed too.
We have help with cleaning, but if I have something I need to do personally, I do it when they are asleep.
IF I clean its weekends. my kids do the daily chores around the house. I do the more heavy cleaning on weekends. :)
sounds like you need to teach them to pick up after themselves! would save you a lot of work!
Quoting TheJerseyGirl:
I clean all day bc they're slobs! But always after they go to school
Alla day haha I am OCD I clean as I go all day

Jessie J - Who you are
I stare at my reflection in the mirror...
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf ...
"no,no, no, no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.

Hunters can shoot all the Eurasian collared doves they want
A nonnative dove in a hunters' bag could help keep native north state doves in the bush.
While bird hunters in the north state may shoot only 10 native mourning doves a day during dove season, said Patrol Lt. Scott Willems of the California Department of Fish and Game, they're free to kill as many of the possibly invasive Eurasian collared doves as they want.
"They are actually desired by the hunter because, one, there's no limit and two they are a little bigger," Willems said.
The DFG doesn't have any program set up to keep numbers of Eurasian collared doves in check in the north state, Willems said, aside from letting hunters shoot as many as they want.
Scott Hill, a DFG wildlife biologist, said there haven't been any studies on how the nonnative dove is affecting locals.
"They may displace mourning doves," he said.
The Eurasian collared doves have become a problem elsewhere.
In Oregon, Rick Boatner of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is recommending the state classify the doves as an unprotected species, meaning they could be hunted year-round, the Medford Mail Tribune reported. He said the doves could make Oregon the 40th state to become saturated with the birds since they reached North America in the 1980s. Hunting could be key to keeping the numbers down.
"We need to jump on it pretty quickly before we get to the point of no return," Boatner told the Mail Tribune.
While the two dove species compete for much of the same food, mostly small grains, DeWayne Little, a DFG warden, said the mourning doves seem to stick to country creek beds while Eurasian collared doves don't mind being close to people.
"I've seen them most around Bella Vista and the outskirts of Cottonwood," Little said.
On Wednesday, the opening day of dove season, Little said he checked the bags of about 20 hunters and saw only one of the non-natives among many mourning doves.
The season runs until Sept. 15, Willems said. There's also a late season that runs for 45 days starting Nov. 13. The department allows hunters to shoot either species only during the seasons.
While mourning doves are about the size of a robin, Eurasian collared doves are about 1½ times larger closer to the size of a pigeon Little said.
Differentiated from mourning doves by their larger size, signature dark collars and square tails, Eurasian collared doves don't taste different from mourning doves, said Burke Wardall, 51, a hunter from Redding.
He said he saw a bunch of the nonnative birds when hunting Thursday evening off Dersch Road.
"This is the first year we've seen them out there," he said.

How to Use Dynamic Engagement Targeting to Improve Email DeliverabilityNovember 15, 2012 By Evan Burke
It's no secret: Sometimes deliverability experts and email marketers disagree — occasionally to an extreme. Perhaps you've heard, or participated in, a conversation like this one:
Deliverability expert: "If you want to deliver to the inbox, stop sending to recipients who don't open or click your messages."
Email marketer: "We lose a lot of revenue if we don't mail to those recipients. Someone needs to be responsible for that."
There's truth to both perspectives. Yes, engagement is playing an increasing part in overall inbox deliverability. Likewise, inactive recipients can — and often do — represent a significant part of overall revenue for email marketers.
Some email marketers and deliverability experts try to find balance by using a broader definition of "active," perhaps including recipients who have opened or clicked on one of their emails in the last 12 months or longer. But this isn't always enough; even long-dead "zombie" addresses that haven't responded in 18 months or more can present a small but substantial revenue opportunity. But how do you reach them without damaging your sending reputation?
What if you could email recipients at the optimum frequency for their engagement levels, without requiring them to take action to select a frequency preference?
If a recipient is interested enough in what you're sending to open a daily email, why would you miss that opportunity by only emailing them weekly? Strong engagement improves your sending reputation and presents a revenue opportunity.
Yet daily is too often for the recipient who only opens one message or two messages per month. Sending that often is likely to result in increased complaints and unsubscribes, and may result in future email marketing revenue loss for that recipient.
Likewise, a recipient who hasn't opened in 18 months may still be worth mailing occasionally, but certainly not at the same frequency as your daily or monthly recipients.
From a deliverability perspective, here's how this works:
- Strong, frequent engagement from your most active recipients helps improve sending reputation.
- Your less active recipients may engage with more of the emails that are sent if you target them with the right offer at their preferred frequency.
- Your inactives represent a smaller percentage of your overall email traffic, minimizing the risk they may pose to your overall deliverability.
Practically speaking, there are a number of ways to achieve this, but the core idea is as follows: Rather than two categories (active, inactive) for your recipients, you'll create three or more engagement categories. For example:

Copper thefts cause dark conditions along Melvin Evans Highway
Published: January 4, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. CROIX - It has been an especially dark season for motorists on St. Croix, but V.I. Water and Power Authority officials say there will soon be light.
Motorists, like Sharon Greene, said they have been noticing that the lights on segments of Melvin Evans Highway have been out for a while.
Greene, who lives in Christiansted, said she usually does not drive at night, and especially not to Frederiksted, but she ventured out last weekend to take her grandchildren to the Carnival Village and struggled for most of the way because of the poor lighting. "There were a couple spots on the highway, for a long stretch, no lights were one," she said. "I had to really drive slow because you can't see if anything is in the road."
She said she did not report the problem to any of the government agencies with oversight of the road conditions, figuring it must be something that they were aware of. "I figure the officials drive on the same roads that we do, they have to know that the lights are off," she said.
She was right.
WAPA Executive Director Hugo Hodge Jr. said the authority is aware of the street light problems on the highway and is already began the process of correcting it.
Hodge said the lack of lights is just one more black eye that the community continues to suffer at the hands of repeated copper thefts.
"They continue to damage the fixtures and take the copper," he said. "It is hard enough to maintain the street lights as it is, but the copper thieves are adding an increased burden to our already minimal resources."
Hodge said the department has already ordered and received some of the materials that will be needed to repair the damaged light fixtures and are now awaiting the delivery of tamper-proof screws that will make it more difficult, it not impossible for the metal bandits to get away with the metal.
WAPA spokeswoman Cassandra Dunn said the maintenance of the street lights is funded primarily from property tax funds forwarded from the government and those funds can only be paid when taxes are paid and funds are available.
She said currently the authority is owed approximately $6 million since it received its last payment.
"It costs about $3 million annually to adequately maintain the street lights on all three islands so this is really a stress on our operations budget that can't sustain it," she said.
She said the thefts have had a great impact on how the authority can function because they are forced to expend money to replace the same copper material repeatedly.
"This is not only expensive, but it is time consuming," she said. They have stolen more than 19,000 feet of copper wire from our street lights and we have to replace them."
In addition to problems caused by the thefts, Dunn said lights are off on a small section of the highway - between East Airport Road and the Roebuck Industrial Park - where road resurfacing, drainage improvements and other construction is ongoing. Restoration in that area should be completed shortly, Dunn said.
She said the authority is anxious to relight the highway, but it will take some time before all the work is completed.
She said WAPA has partnered with Innovative - which has also been hit by copper thieves - in creating several public service announcements and WAPA is continuing to ask the community to report suspicious activity involving utility tampering to law enforcement.

John Ward delighted as Bristol Rovers end long wait for a victory
Posted: January 02, 2013|
JOHN Ward watched his new-look side end Bristol Rovers' two-month wait for a victory and then admitted a physical striker is high on his list of January transfer targets.
First-half goals from Joe Anyinsah and Matthew Lund were enough to hand Rovers all three points from a 2-1 win against West Country rivals Plymouth Argyle, who sacked their manager Carl Fletcher minutes after the final whistle.
It was Rovers' first victory since a 3-2 success over Chesterfield on November 6 and was achieved with a side containing debutants Steve Mildenhall, John-Joe O'Toole and Tom Hitchcock after the trio had loan deals officially sanctioned by the Football League on the morning of the game.
Ward has pledged to continue his January rebuilding job over the coming weeks, but confirmed a target-man type of striker was at the forefront of his thoughts following Tom Eaves' return to parent club Bolton Wanderers.
The manager said: "I don't think it is right to have too many loan players so we're looking around for people who maybe going out of contract.
"The problem for us is that January is an awkward time to be doing that sort of business.
"I'm limited in what I can bring in, but I am working hard to do what I can.
"At the moment, we are playing with three in midfield to give ourselves that bit of a security. We've still scored four goals in the last two games, but a striker with a bit of a physical presence would be helpful to us.
"I have to say, though, I thought Tom was terrific for us on his own up front today because he is the sort that likes to play off of a bigger centre forward."
Ward admitted his priorities may change if he is unable to extend the loans of goalscorer Lund – on loan from Stoke – and Leicester defender Cian Bolger.
Both players return to their parent clubs tomorrow to discuss their futures, and Ward added: "I have to go to work on that on Wednesday.
"I'd like to get both of them back, but that decision is out of my hands."
Rovers remained in the bottom two, despite winning for the first time after seven previous attempts, but closed the gap on some of the teams above them ahead of the visit of Gillingham to the Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
"It was a great game and result for both the players and supporters," said Ward, who was taking charge of his first game at the Memorial Stadium since succeeding Mark McGhee last month. "There were a few scary moments, but it all came together in the end.
"I asked the players to play in the way the supporters would expect them to.
"I wanted them to pull the shirt on and give it their all and I think the supporters saw that everybody worked hard to get a result and that is why it is a good day for us.
"It is a step in the right direction. It's a big thing for the team to get a win after so long.
"It is three more points on the board and will give the boys a bit of confidence before we take on the league leaders (Gillingham) here on Saturday.
"It's another massive challenge for us, and we'll try to give them a game as well."

ARTESIA, N.M.—A drug task force in southeastern New Mexico is getting more support.
The Artesia News reports (http://bit.ly/Y1uy2X) that Eddy County Sheriff Scott London said this week that the Pecos Valley Drug Task Force will begin broadening its scope and is adding more agents.
London says a new plan calls for the task force to be restructured and allow for agents to be recruited.
Currently, the drug task force is made up of six officers: a commander, a sergeant and three agents from the Eddy County Sheriff's Office, and a Carlsbad Police Department agent.
Under the new plan, an officer from the Artesia and Carlsbad Police Departments will be added.
London says the task force also will begin going after street dealers in addition to drug suppliers.
