looks very good.
Hey guys, we haven't updated in a while and here's why.
Posted by dtg108 on Apr 16th, 2013
Hey guys, we haven't updated in a while. Here's why: We've been working hard, but our main programmer quit. No worries! We still are recruiting and learning. Currently, we're getting mocap animations done, as well as buildings, characters, and weapons. As soon as we do, we'll post it here under the news section. Here's a map we are looking to buy soon:
looks very good.
It would be better if the content was your own. I get that you lost a member, but a game should not be rushed. Take your time in making your own assets and levels, so the game can be much better.
reminds me of stalker. i love stalker :3
Scale seems to be a bit wrong... either that, or the character is a giant.
That's not from in-game, that's just the map.

Few performances remain for production
Published: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at 9:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at 9:15 a.m.
It's late, only half the scheduled performances remain in Le Petit's comedy "Beau Jest." Seat reservations are scarce, but we wholeheartedly recommend the production. We saw the opening night performance Friday night, after the deadline for Sunday's column.
Somehow, veteran director Ouida Best and the cast of six overcame weather-threatened rehearsal times and other snags to bring the comedy to life. "This has been the most difficult play I have ever directed," Best said.
"Beau Jest" runs through Sunday at the theater, 7829 Main St., Houma. For tickets, call 876-4278, or visit www.houmalittletheatre.com. The theater will confirm reservations by phone or email.
Sample flaw: "Red Tape Holds Up New Bridges" is among an Internet trove of the "actual" headlines forwarded by Ramonda Guidroz recently. Until I found the same list in my computer archives, I thought it was a gift, an untapped source of fodder to feed columns hungry for space fillers. But I likely used them all years ago.
Fresh from Eldon: Terrebonne Parish native Eldon Freeman is never too busy crafting genuine Robbie-style Cajun roast beef po'boys in sunny Colorado to kick a friend when he is down.
After my recent proofreading gaffs, he emailed, "It's Called Old Age," suggesting, that like him, I'm just over the hill. "I tell people they don't have a Cajun spell checker yet?
"The next thing to go is your short term memory, when your brain self-erases every five seconds. You still have total recall for useless info from 50 years ago, but you can't remember why you just got up from the sofa. ... Welcome to the club."
Need more Mohana: Fellow columnist Irene Michel, who knew late ophthalmologist Dr. Joseph Mohana way back, has emailed suggestions for Jen Davis and Ray Saadi, Mohana relatives seeking a old photo of their uncle.
She named close friends of the doctor whose families may have scrapbooks or other information. The picture, Mohana participating in Holy Day ceremonies at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church more than 50 years ago, may survive somewhere as a newspaper clipping.
The search reminds us of the value of scrapbooks often neglected when survivors tidy up after a relative passes. Some such sleeping treasures have been turned over to archives, like that at Nicholls State University's Ellender Memorial Library, where researchers may find them useful.
Saturday dance: Don't forget about Holy Family Assembly Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus' monthly fais do-do at 6-9 p.m. Saturday at the club home, 5396 Shrimpers Row, Dulac. Cajun Sunrise will perform, with the meal served at about 5 p.m.
School fundraisers: Supporters of Stella Learning Center, for autistic students, have scheduled a fundraising trivia night at 7 p.m. March 8 at the Houma Municipal Auditorium, 800 Verret St., Houma. For information, call 226-5677, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fodder fillers: Clayton Guedry forwarded them as "What States are Famous For," but these facts, if they are true, are not widely known.
- In 1976, Colorado became the only state to turn down the Olympics.
- Connecticut is the mother of the Frisbee, invented at Yale University.
- Delaware has more scientists and engineers than any other state.
Responding? Contact Bill Ellzey at 381-6256, firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com or c/o The Courier, P.O. Box 2717, Houma, LA 70361.

house of cards
People like us have our eyes on the stars
and we keep informed via TV Guide
and we entertain in a house of cards
but the trouble remains
in our sleeping hearts
Wake up! Get out,
get out of this house of cards
Why are we sleeping?
Wake up! Get out,
get out of this house of cards
Why are we dreaming?
Why are we blinded,
always the little guys?
Why do we find ourselves
always compromised?
People like us have lives made of dust
and we know too little,
but we know too much
and our puzzled lives have come all apart
so we go back to bed
with our sleeping hearts
and we stay asleep
in a house of cards
one of those days
"I guess", God said,
"It's time to let the little people have
the salad days
somebody cut the rain,
let there be lawn chairs in the shade
for everyone
be sure to give it the works,
the barbecues and the fireworks
and make certain the night is fair
for my lovers in pairs
I'll be behind the sun,
now let these things be done, uh huh,
it's one of those days"
We had iced-up beer in the park with the picnic gear
uh huh, the salad days
between the hoots and shouts
we were knockin' a volleyball around
every which way
tan dads without no shirts,
young things tucked under skirts,
a baby girl whose face is smirched with some dessert,
bad boys hurtin' their bikes
shootin' for the world-record psyche
one of those days
Now sometime later on
God peeked from behind the sun, he said,
"Looks like it's all worked out and I can rest a while"
God had His Great Snooze
and through the trees a sleepy breeze blew
it was one of those days
Hello honey, how is every little thing?
sure I'll be glad to meet you at the beach at ten
I wanna be your brown-eyed handsome man
plant my feet in the sand
maybe you could be the Sunkist queen
in your cool Raybans
ooohweee, you and me babe
here comes another summer of love
and we're a fine pair of coconuts
Oil me up, buttercup
park your towel over here
with your things n' stuff
I'm gonna work on my major tan
I'm gonna get it perfect yet
you go ahead, hon, and jump in the lake
let me know if it's wet
ooohweee, you and me babe
here comes another summer of love
and we're a fine pair
Under the sun
where there's only one plan
build a condo in the sand
and maybe we'll be fried again, oh man
Oil me up now coconut
I just love to feel your hands
oil me up now coconut
I wanna be your man
ooohweee, you and me babe
here comes another summer of love
and we're fine coconuts
bad days
I knew the weather was supposed to turn gray
but I didn't know it'd never go away
until I answered when my telephone rang
bad days coming my way
'cause I heard my baby saying
she's gonna be leaving me
bad days must be on my tracks
'cause I heard my baby saying
she won't be coming back
bad days
followed by those awful nights
I could've told you she was tired of my ways
I had no more surprises up my sleeve
but when she went away it sure surprised me, oh
bad days must be on my back
'cause I sense my baby's never
she's never coming back
bad days must be here to stay
'cause it seems so long since she,
since she went away
bad days
and always those awful nights
So this morning when I slept so late
I couldn't move beneath the heavy weight
I heard somebody at my backyard gate, oh
there she was coming through the haze saying,
"Hold me, baby, and I hope I'm not too late"
bad days are never coming again
because I heard my baby say she's,
she's never leaving me
happy days
and no more of those awful nights
peaceable kingdom
When I wake up in my tree
wake up in my bedroom tree
a little girl and a parakeet
are singing to me
My, oh my, what a peaceable kingdom
why would I ever wanna leave
leave a peaceable kingdom
And when I wake up on the floor
on the carpeted forest floor
all of the squirrels in their conifers
are saying to me
My, oh my, even if you had set of wings
why would you ever wanna fly
from a peaceable kingdom
oh my, oh my, what a peaceable kingdom
why would I ever wanna leave
leave a peaceable kingdom
It's quiet a night
when the monkeys retire
so we lay down our faces
by the fireplace
and sing softly
what a peaceable kingdom
hot zoo
Pay Here
Don't Park

What's a blue man gonna do
when he collects the whole set of the blues
he can't move,
he can't shake his slump
a blue man says bumpity bump
Hey, bumpity bump
my heart hurts like a drum
What's a man,
what's a blue man gonna do
when he knows the truth of the blues
he can't find the world a satisfyin' place
he can't even face his own face
Why do I hurt like a drum?
my heart says bumpity bump
A blue man
what's he got to do,
go to sleep to evade the blues?
they might follow him right into his dreams
they might corner him and make him scream
Why do I feel like a bomb?
my heart says bumpity bump
Hey, what's a blue man say
when he's got to wake up
to another blue day
Oh, and nothing is right
and he's got no disguise
Who knows, maybe he woke up
in a different guy
Why do I feel like a bomb?
my heart hurts like a drum, why?

bird in a box
I'm not a free lunch box car parked in the seat
dead-end streetcar of desire caught by the tailpiece
I'm a jiffy pop tarts are bad for your teen-aged beef

phone call a Porter Wagoner tailor-made underwear
every dog has his Dayton Ohio Hitler
says to button your fly Tijuana place a Bette Midler
Oh drop dead lock stock and bugle coral reefer man
every Marlon Brando gave him a great big handstand
what a lumpy Guy lumbago embargo fish pants
Is there a Groucho Marxist doctrine in the
house calls about a lost set of Keystone cops out
the same way you came in through the bathroom wind-
oh look! a rock'n'roller skate and all skate slowly
Hey man a T-bone state of the aren't
you gonna finish your bird in a box
Hey man your witness to the stand still
shoulder to shoulder the burden a box
Hey man and even Colonel Sanders' daddy
was a Thunderbird in a box
Loose tooth three of a perfect paradiced onions cheese
and beans from another planeteri gargoyle change
every two thousand smiled at
Linda Evans called again singing happy birthmark
Last night
I took a walk into the back of my mind
through the trash and the warning signs
there was a party full of jokes and clich's
I couldn't think of anything to say
and so I slipped into the men's room there
I saw my hair a way it's never been before
I took the stairs from my head to my heart
I didn't know they were so far apart
the heart is like a little chapel somewhere,
the pretty lights and the empty chairs
but I'm gonna bring a broom next time
I'll sweep out all the broken strings I find
She walks me down to my private train
and lays me down in my sleeping car
she keeps my elephant out of the rain
and sees to the care of my vintage cars
she is the blood of my life
without her I would starve
Who you gonna run to?
Who you gonna hide behind?
Who you gonna turn to
when there's nobody home but you?
What's a father to do
with all theses school-less injuns
running in circles around the wagons
What's a father to do
with all these monster debts
around my neck
on a sad sun deck
Oh, my children, the times are jaded
the simple life is complicated
oh, my children
Now if the dark of the night
arrives in the middle of the day
I'm gonna say my prayer
for sweetness and light,
gonna fix myself a Coke,
and hope it's alright
If the bat-winged beast sweep down
for a feast on me
I'm gonna pin my soul
to a hot-air balloon
gonna make it pop
and shoot me to the moon
Now you've had another piece of my mind,
a cup of coffee and a slice of time
if you'll excuse me I should say goodbye
I gotta go now.

The Best Lightweight Browser
I just went through and reinstalling my system from a computer I hadn't updated for a year and a half. For everything I needed, Gnome 2.22 and Firefox 3.0 did just fine. The computer is an iBook 300MHz that can use all the umphh it can get. Though it worked alright for a long time, I got a little picky and just wanted a lighterweight desktop (even a tricked out Gentoo can only do so much). The most important thing I needed was a web browser that was responsive. Firefox 3.0 actually didn't do too bad… until it had been running a while. I was also hoping to get a few of the more popular features that modern browsers have like saving sessions and form-autofill.
Three Tries
Midori runs fast, and seems to be well built. Unfortunately Midori wasn't able to save login and password information and that ruled it out. To be fair though, the version of Midori in the Arch PPC repos is six months old and it probably has this feature by now.
I installed LXDE and OpenBox on my desktop to have a lightweight system. So with only the bare gtk libraries already installed, I wasn't real crazy to install QT as well. Installing Arora though only required QT and one other dependency. From what I've been told, QT by itself can be good for lightweight desktops. Arora is coming along nicely. I tried the git version of Arora and it did pretty good. Arora is still in early in development though and there were glitches in the framework: tabs behaved unexpectedly when reaching the end of the window, the close tab button would disappear at times. Arora was fast but not as fast as Midori. Looks like webkit-qt is still playing a bit of catchup.
Epiphany is the same browser I had tried a couple years ago. Only more, and a bit less. When Epiphany used Gecko it was alright. It was a little bit better than it's Firefox counterpart, but had the same problem after having run for a bit of time. I'm glad the Epiphany developers have decided to go with webkit. It renders fast, and the time I have been using it, it seems just as snappy even after I have been using it for awhile. There are webpages that Epiphany won't know how to save a login and password, and it has no configuration option to remember your session. The Gnome Epiphany FAQ gives a nice phhhh and says that you can force kill the application (pkill epiphany) to get this behavior. I tested heavy pages like ESPN and Stack Overflow, and not a problem, even with multiple pages open.
Quite liking my new desktop now. Epiphany (for the most part) I am real happy with. Also for those that are interested: LXDE is a great choice for a lightweight desktop without many comprimises. I added stjerm to go along with the desktop because I do alot of my work from the terminal. I still like it quite a bit. I learned a couple more tricks about it and updated the webpage.
Lightweight Linux – Review of Picture Browsers
A vital part of my system is my picture browser. I use it browse the images I put on the website, to review images I've created with GIMP, to scan wallpapers, and to look at pictures I've took. Originally I was going to call this "Review of Picture Browsers" but I realized on my system the more important feature I needed was lightweight. I looked at seven picture viewers and here is how they stacked up.
The contenders:
From top to bottom… Not pictured: feh, (out to lunch)
All the browsers I tried have stayed true to Linux form and are pretty lightweight. I did not review fspot here as it is a mono application and at least at the time I don't consider it a lightweight application. All these applications I have tested over the last several weeks to get a good idea about them.
To test each application I first purged the memory then opening numerous images with "
appliation *.jpg".
The test bed:
Startup times are calculated by the hardened method of, "one mississippi, two mississippi…", also I didn't drop the gnome caches too, sueme.
The criteria for the judging process is thus in matter of priority:
- Lightweight – by lightweight I mean startup and application responsiveness.
- Ability to scale images with both quality and speed
- SVG support – bonus
- Ability to organize files – bonus
- All had full-screen support.
Eye of Gnome
I doubt few people travel far from Gnome's default viewer. Eye of Gnome starts reasonably quick, and scales images well. EOG also browses quickly and is the best in the group creating a good browsing window for all images.
Gnome's Belt Holder
On this computer though, the EOG's lag is noticeable with the startup time for the sample 13 images being 15 seconds. Otherwise I can see why EOG is Gnome's default viewer. Bonus to Eye of Gnome for SVG support.
Score: 4.4/5
I thought about whether or not to add this one as Gthumb is more of an image organizer that an image browser but a lot of people like it (as do I). Gthumb opens as quickly as EOG and its image browsing is simple and does a good job. The organizing features of Gthumb are nice, though I don't think very intuitive.
- (+) Organization support
- (-) Couldn't get arrow keys to work
- (-) Thumbnails broke on my setup
- (-) No SVG support
Score: 3.9/5
Mirage is a python application for viewing images. As a python dependency I knew Mirage wouldn't be blazing on this computer – startup time was 30 seconds. Of all the browsers beside EOG I thought Mirage was the best designed. Mirage also has a few nice features adding in. Unfortunately Mirage scales poorly and slowly.
Score: 2/5
A lightweight, responsive browser and a standout among the pack is Gpicview. Created by the developer of the PCman file manager and it looks to be in development again. Gpicview loads in four seconds and is only a file browser. I like Gpicview a lot, though it should stick to Gnome interface guidelines more.
- (+) fast
- (-) no smart window resizing
- (-) no SVG
- (-) scale quality poor

With GQview I didn't know what to expect I haven't seen anyone using it. GQview is an image browser and organizer, and starts in about eight seconds. GQview though is a bit of a mess as it seems torn between trying to do too much. GQview does runs well and I'm still using it on my system for it's excellent collections support.

XFCE's Ristretto trails the pack. Another python application and it needs lovin'. Startup time was 27 seconds. Not only that but flipping between images was slow and the scaling quality was poor. I didn't spend alot of time with this application.
Score: 1.5/5
Feh is a bare bones image viewer and probably not for everyone. Feh has a minimum of dependencies and above all is fast – almost instantaneous, two seconds to startup. Run from the command line, Feh can be used to browse and scale images but will require setting up to use on the desktop; I'll take more of this tomorrow. Feh is not for the regular user, but it is the best lightweight solution.

Upcoming Games – OpenLieroX
I like to try new games, I generally don't write about them though. I often shuffle through free gamer and game tome on the weekends to see what budding developers are doing. Some of them are pretty cool but few are worth talking about as they are all usually early in development. I was pulled in my OpenLieroX though.
I wasn't a Windows user for many years so I never heard of it. Liero is an real time, excessive carnaged, Worms-clone. Though I have tried Worms before (and really liked it) I didn't know what to expect. So a good clone would be something I'd like to see in Linux. Clones in general are something that I've learned to avoid. Good games are alot more than ideas and usually only pretentious developers feel they replicate the time and detail of a commercial success.
I've been real fortunately lately with games. I'm still playing OpenTyrian which rocks, and Wesnoth is alot of fun so I really didn't need anything else, but I got the bug, or should I say… worm.
To be technical, OpenLieroX is a clone of Liero Extreme the most popular of Liero clones. So OpenLieroX is a clone of the of a clone of a clone, ok, I got it… :) This sounded discouraging but OpenLieroX is actually a polished game with some nice features.
For Gentoo users there is an ebuild available and debian users will also find a package on the website.
The plot of Liero is simple: destruction. Moving the worm about and firing various weapons is all Liero is basically about, but it's Fun! Gameplay is smooth, there's lots and lots of weapons, sound effects are all good too. Also there are a good number of mods to keep it interesting. Network play looks like it be a kick in the pants, and the CPU AI is about average. Maybe the screenshots will show it best.
The menu:
Local Play:
On a 747:
Now they're trapped, think I'll nuke 'em.
The developer has been working on this steady for quite a bit now and I like his efforts. Good too see good games come into Linux. OpenLieroX is an unexpected surprise and well worth the try.

If there's one piece of advice we hear often, it's that it is always good to read the fine print. Why should it be any different for a company's financial statements? If the income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flow make up the core of a company's financial information, then the footnotes are the fine print that explain this core.
However, what is often not provided along with this wise advice is a set of instructions on exactly how to read a company's footnotes. This article will not only explain what footnotes are, but what they mean and how to use them to your financial benefit.
What Are Footnotes?
Pick up any financial report and you'll always find references to the footnotes of the financial statements. The footnotes describe in detail the practices and reporting policies of the company's accounting methods and disclose additional information that can't be shown in the statements themselves. In other words, footnotes expand on the quantitative financial statements by providing qualitative information that allows for a greater understanding of a company's true financial performance over a specified time period.
Footnotes information can generally be split into two different areas. The first deals with the accounting methods a company chooses to formulate its financial information, such as revenue recognition policies. The second provides an expanded explanation of important company operational and financial results.
Accounting Methods
This area, which tends to be at the beginning of the footnotes, identifies and explains a company's major accounting policies. These footnotes are broken into specific accounting areas (revenue, inventory, etc.), which detail a company's policy with regard to that account and how its value is determined.
For example, one of the most important financial measures is revenue. In the footnotes, you will often find a revenue recognition note, which describes how a company determines when it has earned its revenue. Due to the often complex nature of business operations, the point at which a sale can be booked (put on the financial statements) is not always clear cut. This section will give an investor valuable insight into when a company books revenue. For example, Ford Motors recognizes a sale at the time that a dealership takes possession of a Ford vehicle.
What to Look for
There are two things to focus on when analyzing a company's accounting methods found in the footnotes. The first thing is to look at a company's accounting method and how it compares to the generally accepted accounting method and industry standards. If the company is using a policy that differs from others in the industry or one that seems far too aggressive, it could be a sign that the company may be trying to manipulate its financial statements to cover up an undesirable event or give the perception of better performance.
As an example of using revenue recognition at car company X, let's assume that instead of booking revenue upon ownership transfer, company X books the revenue when a car is produced. This strategy is far too aggressive, because company X can't ensure that dealerships will ever take possession of that car. Another example would be a magazine company that books all of its sales at the start of the subscription. In this case, the company has not performed its side of the sale (delivering the product) and should only book revenue when each magazine is sent to the subscriber.
The second item of importance to examine is any changes made in an account from one period to the next, and the effect it will have on the bottom-line financial statements. In the company X example, imagine the company switched from the delivery method to the production method. Booking revenue before goods are transferred would increase the aggressiveness of company X's accounting. The company's financial statements would become less reliable, because investors would not be sure how much of the revenue was derived from actual sales, and how much represented product that was produced but not delivered by company X.
It is important when tackling this area to first gain a basic understanding of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) standards of computing financial information. This will allow you to identify when a company is not following this standard.
Disclosure and Financial Details
The financial statements in an annual report are supposed to be clean and easy to follow.To maintain this cleanliness, other calculations are left for the footnotes. The disclosure segment gives details about long-term debt, such as maturity dates and interest rates, which can give you a better idea of how borrowing costs are laid out. It also covers details regarding employee stock ownership and stock options issued, which are also important to investors.
Other details mentioned in the footnotes include errors in previous accounting statements, looming legal cases in which the company is involved and details of any synthetic leases. These types of disclosures are of the utmost importance to investors with an interest in the company's operations.
Another important focus when looking at the disclosure segment is what is left off of the financial statements. When a company is meeting accounting standards, the rules may allow it to keep a large liability off the financial statements and report it in the footnotes instead. If investors skip the footnotes, they will miss these liabilities or risks the company faces.
Problems with Footnotes
Although footnotes are a required part of any financial statement, there are no standards for clarity or conciseness. Management is required to disclose information "beyond the legal minimum" to avoid the risk of being sued. Where this minimum lies, however, is based on management's subjective judgment. Furthermore, footnotes must be as transparent as possible without harmfully releasing trade secrets and other pertinent information about things that give the company its competitive edge.
Another problem with the footnotes is that sometimes companies attempt to confuse investors by filling the notes with legal jargon and technical accounting terms. Be suspicious if the description is difficult to decipher - the company may have something to hide. If you see situations in which the company is writing only a paragraph on a major event/issue, or using convoluted language to skirt it entirely, it may be wise to simply move on to another company.
The Bottom Line
Informed investors dig deep, looking for information that others typically wouldn't seek out. No matter how boring it might be, read the fine print. In the long run, you'll be glad you did.

I bought the Trilogy Cream Cleanser in the tube not the bottle. It seems to be moisturizng while you're cleansing your face. It's not too thick and not too thin in texture. Most of the time the smeell of this cleanser seems alright, natural and herbal but when my washcloth, or flannel, is still very warm from all of the hot water then the smell of the cleanser in the cloth takes on a slight smell of wet dog fur for some reason and I don't know why because that smell hasn't occured with other cream cleansers in the past! *shrugs shoulders*
I may buy the Trilogy cream cleanser for sensitive skin next time. I just can't find a cream cleanser that smell nice because the Super Facialist by Una Brennan Rose Hydrate cream cleanser has a great texture to it but it has a cloying, obnoxious or very strong and annoying rose scent. So I may have to find a cream cleanser that smells like nothing, something like the ones made for sensitive skin.

A dependable cream cleanser. I have tested many green or organic cream cleansers (PAI, MV Organics, Mychelle, A'kin, Intelligent Nutrients, Madara etc) and I find Trilogy's cream cleanser to be a good affordable cleanser that works and will not make a big dent in your wallet.
It has a nice scent and a nice slightly thick consistency to it (i don't much like cream cleansers that have thin consistency) and my dry and sensitive skin does not react negatively to this at all. I use a muslin cloth with this every time I wash my face and it has made my skin very smooth and clean.
Took a lippie off because of the glass bottle. It is very nice aesthetically to look at on the top of my sink, but always in danger of breaking it not handled gently.

UPDATE: As of 2014, this cleanser has been reformulated to remove alot of the nourishing Almond Oils and replace it with cheaper Glycerin, as well as add a concerning irritant to exend the product shelf like.
All of the glowing early reviews should be disregarded as they are for a different product than what you will receive today.
I thought this was supposed to be "natural" but the new Trilogy Cream cleanser contains the cheap synthetic form of Vitamin E, Tocopheryl Acetate, to extend the product shelf life. This ingredient is surrounded by dangerous issues like contamination with hydroquine, cancer, hypersensitivity to UV rays (more burning and wrinkles, anyone?). Shame on Trilogy for not using the natural form of Vitamin E which is readily available. I will provide a link on why this is such a problem and bad for your skin.
I have very sensitive skin and this gave me acne and inflamed and severely irritated my skin especially around my nose and mouth. I have now found out that Tocopheryl Acetate is the un-natural enemy against healthy skin. Its lurking in a huge % of beauty products - including this one - simply so companies can have a long shelf life. It has no benefit to the customer apart from the potential to give acne, contact dermatits, and even worse. One link I found to this largely un-known issue, here:
The peoples comments mirror the suffering of many of my friends and family to this ingredient.
Trilogy make a separate Very Gentle cream cleanser that is labelled for sensitive skin so in a way they are telling us THIS "cream cleanser" contains ingredients that will irritate sensitive skin. If you have very sensitive skin try the Very Gentle Cleansing Cream, or another brand that does NOT have Tocopheryl Acetate on the ingredients list.

This is my favourite cleanser ever! I have very sensitive skin that's prone to dryness, and this is the only cleanser I have found that doesn't irritate, make my skin red or dry me out. My face always feels refreshed and super clean after using it. It is pricey for a cleanser, but worth it to me for a product that works so well. The packaging is good (I like pump bottles for cleansers), the only downsides are that you can't travel with pump bottles and sometimes it's hard to get the last of it out.

I think I've found it...I have tried natural cleansers in the past (Ren, A'kin) but they still irritated my sensitive skin and contained too much fragrance to be deemed truly gentle. Trilogy Cleansing Cream, although lightly scented, does no such thing. My skin is hydrated and I no longer have red cheeks and stinging skin after cleansing. Cleansing should not be stressful for the skin! I should not have to calm my skin down after taking my makeup off at the end of the day!
I'd never had that much success with balm cleansers as they require too much rubbing and removing, which aggravates my rosacea. I love the lotion-like texture of this one and find that it removes makeup effectively. Eye makeup, as other users have mentioned, may require some more attention.
I read somewhere that this cleanser has half a bottle of rosehip oil in it? That has to be a good thing. Also, I just noticed that Trilogy have a Very Gentle Cleanser as well. I can't imagine the regular being any gentler but props to them for looking after those of us with delicate skin!

I bought a pack of five travel size Trilogy products and this was one of them. I loved it so much I bought the full size yesterday. I love the smell and the consistency. I massage it onto my damp face and neck, then remove it with a hot washcloth. It takes off my long-wear foundation very well and seems to make my face glow. I do have to use an eye make-up remover first, it's not effective at removing eye make-up! I follow it with the Trilogy Nutrient Plus firming serum and the Trilogy Vital Moisturizing cream, and my skin loves this. I don't have great skin but it's the best it's been for many years at the moment.

I really can't think of anything negative to say about this cleanser. It's so gentle, smells clean and fresh (but not perfumed), is easy on the wallet (well in Australia it is), easy to buy. You can buy this in a more travel friendly size (squeeze conatiner) or size up with a glass bottled pump. I have very dry/dry skin and the natural oils contained in the cleansing keep my skin from drying out (no tight skin after). I have also tried Kosmea's cleanser with I find to be the same in quality so I tend to swap between the two. I double-cleanse at night and this makes an excellent first cleanser to use in the shower or with your Clarisonic etc.
I have used other premium brand cleansers (Lancome, Clarins, Chanel) but I prefer this one by far.

Not happy. I've used this cleanser for the first time this morning & already I have the tell-tale red mark on my chin that tells me that my skin is saying 'I'm not happy with something in this'. Wot a shame!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Warm
Hair: Red, Wavy, Medium

this is gentle on rosacea and sensitive skin. it leaves my skin comfortable and soothed, also has made my pores less visible. you need to cleanse twice if you have make up on though. like other natural organic products this gives me dark undereye circles (doesn't happen if i use soap or mineral oil based products). that bothers me, but overall i'm happy with it.

this is one of the best cleansers ive used. it has a light herbal lavender smell and doesnt really lather on your face for some reason. despite that, it still removes oil but the reason i only gave 4 lippies was because it doesnt remove makeup that well(its ok, you can live with cleansing twice) and the cleanser is pretty expensive. you need almost one pump every time so it'll last about 2 months max. other than that, i really love it will repurchase when i finish the bottle

If the results of the MTV Europe Awards are any indication, the appetite for teen-pop is as strong across the drink as it is here.
Britney Spears dominated the ceremony, taking home a whopping four trophies: she won honors for Best Female Artist, Best Pop Artist, Breakthrough Artist, and Best Song for "Baby One More Time."
Meanwhile, Ricky Martin, Madonna, and TLC, each of whom bagged at least one Moonman in the Stateside Video Music Awards back in September, all went home empty handed (see "Complete 1999 Video Music Awards Winners List").
The show featured performances by Spears, as well as Marilyn Manson, Whitney Houston, Jamiroquai, The Corrs, The Cardigans, and Iggy Pop, who opened the show.
The ceremony, hosted by Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating, also featured
the presentation of the "Free Your Mind" Award to U2 singer Bono. The award was in recognition of Bono's championing of numerous causes during the course of his career, most recently his efforts to cancel third world debt (see "Bono Appeals To U.S. Congress; 'Million Dollar' Movie To Open Berlin Festival" ).
United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan paid tribute to the singer via a prerecorded tribute, in which he thanked Bono for "making a real difference," saying that the singer has "taught young people that they have the power to change the world."
Mick Jagger, who introduced Bono, quipped that "His efforts for the poor have now tarred him with the brush of virtual sainthood."
In accepting the award, Bono remarked that this type of praise was "just going to make me worse, you know."
Here's the complete tally of who won what at the ceremony:
- Best Male Artist: Will Smith
- Best Female Artist:
Britney Spears
- Best Dance Artist: Fatboy Slim
- Best Hip-Hop Artist: Eminem
- Best Rock Artist: The Offspring
- Best R&B Artist: Whitney Houston
- Best Nordic Act: Lene Marlin
- Best Group: The Backstreet Boys
- Best Pop Artist: Britney Spears
- Best German Act: Xavier Naidoo
- Best Album: Boyzone's "By Request"
- Best Italian Act: Elle e le Storie Tese
- Breakthrough Artist: Britney Spears
- Best U.K. and Ireland Act: Boyzone
- Best Video: Blur's "Coffee & TV"
- Best Song: Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time"

Hello PE,
Has there been any progress on the idea of building a workable vAg electrode? Do you know of any references that may discuss how one would be constructed?
Bob M.
Printable View
Hello PE,
Has there been any progress on the idea of building a workable vAg electrode? Do you know of any references that may discuss how one would be constructed?
Bob M.
The starting point is a high accuracy volt meter with silver electrode(s). You will need more than that. A friend who has been helping me has been otherwise occupied. And, so have I.
For your use though, 0.1 molar NaBr at 20 deg C will have a vAg of -61.48 mv and a pAg of 11.463
That is, BTW, 10.289 g/l.
So, here is a calibration point for you.
While browsing the web at lunchtime, I found references to this article about constructing a reference electrode out of a used felt-tip pen. So I tracked down the article tonight and have posted it at the link below. The electrode described is for Ag/AgCl, but it seems like the basic design could be adapted by using KBr instead of KCl.
Any thoughts on it's usefulness for measuring vAg or at least pAg? The more I read I see how knowing vAg or pAg is important for making more advanced emulsions so it seems like finding an economical solution for the probes would be useful.
-- Jason
Thanks for the reference.
Technically, an Ag/AgCl electrode is used for all vAg measurements. The plating on the other electrode is what changes depending on the salt used. So, this reference electrode looks just fine.
Oh, I see. Well maybe that simplifies things.
So the other electrode could be a silver wire plated with AgBr, for example, if you were working with a AgBrI emulsion? Or would it be plated with AgBrI?
And the electrode should be solid silver, right?
The silver electrode should be solid silver. I have a batch of them here that I made by hand. I used 12 gauge silver wire 99.99% pure. It should be plated with the salt which represents the major constituent of the emulsion. Use a reference electrode of Ag/AgCl in all cases. However, use of a bridge is advised due to Cl leakage from the electrode. The book contains photos and a description of the procedures. Much of that is posted here in less detail.
Thanks, PE. I will check that out when it arrives - hopefully today!
When making electrode measurements, you need to have both a reference electrode and what's called an ion specific or ion selective electrode.
For pH measurements, you use a what's typically called a "pH" electrode. What's really being said there is that you need a glass electrode (which can simply be thought of as a hydrogen ion specific electrode) and a reference electrode.
Most people never even mention the reference electrode when talking about pH measurements because most pH electrodes nowadays have the reverence electrode built right into the ion specific electrode. The reference electrodes are typically silver chloride electrodes or calomel electrodes. Calomel seems to have lost favor these days as they contain metallic mercury and mercury (I) chloride, both rather toxic compounds.
The silver chloride referece electrode consists of a piece of silver metal that is coated with silver chloride, and it is placed into a concentrated solution of potassium chloride to stabilize the silver chloride that coats the silver wire. The potential that is generated by the silver|silver chloride junction is the "reference" voltage that this type of electrode produces. The standard electrode potential that the silver reference electrode produces against the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is 0.230V ± 10mV.
The silver chloride reference electrode that is discussed in the article linked to above is this type of electrode, not an "silver" electrode that is used for making vAg measurements.
The vAg electrode that PE talks about for making vAg measurements, is simply a piece of high purity silver wire/rod that has been coated with the dominant halide for the emulsion that is to be measured. Like PE mentioned, somewhere here on APUG are a series of post where he and I discussed the construction of a home-made vAg electrode. Basically, it's the silver wire that PE mentioned, I think what I found was 12 or 14 guage - which is nice and sturdy and resists being bent from use. That silver wire was then soldered to a length of coax cable with a BNC connector so it could be directly connected to the "pH" meters that we both had. The silver wire/coax assembly was then inserted into some fire-polished glass tubing with bare silver wire outside the glass and the silver wire solder joint inside the glass and then 5-minute epoxy was then used to set the wire in place in one end of the glass tube and set the cable into the other end.
For use, this vAg electrode was cleaned with fine wet-dry sandpaper and then placed into a solution with the halide of choice, and a small current run through the wire and solution to drive the halides to the vAg electrode to plate it. (As they mention in the article, the vAg electrode can be connected to the positive terminal of a 3-volt battery and then current run through for 10 minutes using a second vAg electrode or a simple siver wire in circuit with the plating solution.) Once this had been done, the vAg electrode was ready for use. This treatment was good for several days if stored in solution and kept in the dark.
Now this vAg electrode would have to be used with a reference electrode - just like the one in the article linked to above, so that you had both an ion specific electrode and a reference electrode.
And actually, the idea of a felt-tip pen as the body of a reference electrode is pretty good, and great for the home lab, as silver chloride reference electrodes are expensive new and hard to find used. Note that the pen-based reference electrode has a "bridge" like PE mentioned above built into it - that's what the agar gel is doing. It's slowing down the mixing of the reference solution (the potassium chloride that surrounds the silver|silver chloride electrode). The felt tip is merely acting as the junction that allows the interior solutions to come into contact with the solution to be tested.
PE also suggests that you want to use a double bridge to minimize the migration of non-chloride halides from the test solution to the reference solution. If bromide or iodide get into the reference solution that surrounds the silver|silver chloride reference electrode, then it will be poisoned and it will no longer serve as a "reference" electrode.
Kirk, thanks for the great explanation! I had understood that the article was describing the reference electrode and you needed a separate one for the salt but didn't quite understand the role of the Ag/AgCl inside the reference electrode. You have helped to clear this up.
Now the Ion-Specific Electrode (ISE) is the next part to investigate. Soldering silver wire to a piece of coax should be simple enough. What is the purpose of the glass? Sounds to me like it is to give a bit of stiffness and durability to the assembly plus protect the soldered connection and prevent it from contaminating the emulsion? I don't know anything about glass tubing but I suppose you can get it from a chemistry supplier or the big auction site.
I had found the other posts you mentioned and along with PE's book have started to fill in the shopping list for the two electrodes plus the salt bridge. This has all been very, very helpful.
-- Jason
Glass was chosen for several reasons - to give the electrode some rigidity, to keep the solder joint clean, to minimize the length of silver wire needed, to have something that you can insert into the solution that will not contaminate it, it's easy to clean, and can be supported in the solution using a ring stand clamp.
I think PE recommended around 2 cm of silver wire in the solution and I wanted all the wire under the liquid level so there's no possible changes as the solution level rises, so I wanted something that I could insert into the solution so I immediately thought of glass tubing. Commercial electrodes used to use glass, but now they often use epoxy for the electrode bodies. That was where I figured that 5-minute epoxy would be great for sealing the silver wire into the glass tubing. And it's much easier to use the epoxy and I think more water-tight than trying to seal the silver wire by blowing the glass to make a glass seal.
I wanted a technique that people without much glass-blowing skills could use. As it is, you'll need to practice cutting the glass, or get someone at a glass shop to do it. After cutting it, you'll probably want to fire polish the ends - Watch some online youtubes for basic glass-blowing techniques. None of this glass working is difficult and all you need is a glass triangle file to make a nick in the glass to "cut" it, and then a propane torch that you may have around the house already.
Oh, and when you connect the coax, just solder the signal wire of the coax and not the braided outer wire to the silver. Strip the braided part back a bit to it doesn't make contact with the center wire. It's going to take a fairly large piece of glass tubing to get the coax into the glass. Like 12 or 14 mm or so diameter tubing. Those are a bit hard to cut, so maybe a glass shop would be good if you've no experience cutting glass tubing.
I was also going to try making one out of acrylic tubing as it can be cut with a hacksaw - I bought the tubing but I never got around to making the electrode. You might want to git that a try. Other than the siver wire/rod, nothing it really expensive here.
And the coax I used was from Radio Shack - just a 2 ft coax with BNC connectors on both ends. Clip on BNC off and then you have a nice 2 ft lead on your electrode.

Heineken reports sales, profit dropComment on this story
Amsterdam - Heineken NV, the Amsterdam-based brewer, has reported first half earnings that show a small drop in both revenues and profits - but says its underlying performance was good.
Net profit was 631 million euros (R9 billion), from 639 million euros in the same period a year ago.
Sales were down 1.4 percent to 10.2 billion euros, which Heineken, the largest brewer by sales within Europe, said was partly due to the strong euro.
Stripping out currency and acquisition effects, Heineken said beer prices were up 1.5 percent, and volumes increased 3.9 percent.
Chief executive Jean-Francois van Boxmeer said Wednesday the company's operations grew on a like-for-like basis in almost all regions in the first half but warned that growth in underlying profit and revenues would "moderate" in the second half. - Sapa-AP

Two Years Later, The Search For 'Hoagy' ContinuesSaturday, July 25, 2015 at 10:14 am
July 28 will mark two years that Robert "Hoagy" Hoagland of Glen Road in Sandy Hook is missing.
His wife Lori Hoagland is hopeful that he will be found.
Support Amid UncertaintyMonday, July 6, 2015
To the Editor:
July 28, 2015 will mark the 2nd anniversary of the disappearance of my husband, Hoagy. Once again, I would like to express my most heartfelt gratitude to those of you who continued to ferry my boys and I through another year of milestones amid uncertainty, on a current of kindness and love.
On that day, we will light a candle in tribute to him. On that day, wherever you are, we hope you will do the same.
Search For Missing Man Turns To South CarolinaFriday, November 7, 2014
In their longstanding effort to find a missing Sandy Hook man, town police are probing a tip they received which indicates that the man may be working at a restaurant in the Myrtle Beach, S.C., area.
Myrtle Beach is a tourism center that has a subtropical climate and extensive beaches on the Atlantic Coast known as the Grand Strand.
Bridgeport Billboards Publicize Missing Newtown ManFriday, September 19, 2014
Newtown police said this week that the presence of electronic and conventional billboards in the Bridgeport area, which seek information on the whereabouts of missing Newtown man Robert Hoagland, have prompted one tip from the public.
But an investigation into that lead proved fruitless because a person who was thought to be the missing Mr Hoagland was ruled out, based on surveillance video evidence, according to police Detective Lieutenant Richard Robinson.
Mr Hoagland has been missing for more than a year.

To the Editor:
It's been a year… 365 days without a letter, a phone call or even an email. A year ago Hoagie vanished. Since then, the limited searches from the NPD and the more extensive ones by friends and family have yielded nothing. His disappearance is a puzzle that has left us with emotions of anger, sadness and abandonment. There's no explanation, no justification, no conclusion. Only a hole in our hearts.
