Stephens on the rise in girls' tennis
Laurel Pfahler
Sloane Stephens says her tennis career wasn't a matter of fate, but it sure seems that way.
The 16-year-old from Los Angeles proved to be a natural. Stephens is listed 20th in the USTA Girls' 18s rankings and also is the top college recruit for the Class of 2011, according to TennisRecruiting.net, even though she didn't even pick up a racquet until the age of 10 four years after most of her competitors started.
"I started late, but it doesn't matter if you start late. It just matters what you do with your time."
Stephens knew tennis was for her shortly after trying it out at a country club in her then-hometown of Fresno, Calif., and she was playing in her first tournament there within the year.
"I was pretty good," Stephens said. "I was athletic, and I had good coordination and things like that, so it wasn't like I was ever bad. It didn't take me that long before I knew I could do this."
Her first coach, former Puerto Rican Davis Cup player Francisco Gonzalez, made the sport easy to enjoy. She said Gonzalez created a fun atmosphere to learn and play in by singing and doing cartwheels on the court.
It also helped that she came from a family of athletes, so she wasn't too far behind ability-wise it was just a matter of picking up the different skills needed specifically for tennis. Her father is former New England Patriots running back John Stephens, a first-round draft pick in 1988, and her mother, Sybil Smith, was a 1988 All-American swimmer at Boston University.
"Everyone in my family is really athletic, so I am pretty fortunate," said Stephens, who is a 5-foot-7 right-hander known for her quickness on the court.
Stephens moved with her mother to Boca Raton, Fla., when she was 11 and started training at the Evert Academy after school. The next year she stepped it up another level, joining the Nick Saviano High Performance Tennis Academy and starting a virtual-learning home-school program so she could attend tournaments without worrying about missing school.
Now she is practicing six days a week, four hours a day.
"That's when I really got into it just with fitness and tennis," Stephens said. "I started playing a lot more, and when I was going to school, I was missing a lot of school for tournaments and they would drop your grade a letter. I was missing so much, it was just easier when you can do it by yourself and get help that way, rather than missing school and not getting any help while you're away."
Because of age restrictions, Stephens, who moved back West in January, is limited to the number of tournaments she can play each year. She just turned 16 last month, which allowed her to add two tournaments to her plate this year so she now can play 12.
Of the many tournaments she has competed in, the U.S. Open is by far the best, she said. Stephens went out in the second round of qualifying for the Grand Slam event last year as a wild-card entry, but in the juniors tournament the next week she made it to the girls' doubles final and the girls' singles round of 16.
Other highlights, as far as results, include finishing in the consolation quarterfinals of the 2008 USTA Girls' 18s National Championships and helping lead the U.S. to the Junior Fed Cup title for girls aged 16-and-under last year. In December, Stephens, currently listed at No. 117 in the ITF junior rankings, reached the girls' 18s semifinal of the Dunlop Orange Bowl.
Stephens also enjoyed success in limited appearances on the USTA Pro Circuit in 2008, sandwiching two quarterfinals appearances at $10,000 events in Landisville, Pa., and Wichita, Kan., around a semifinals appearance at the $10,000 event in Sumter, S.C.
"It's crazy because you really have to pick your tournaments and learn which tournaments you should and shouldn't be playing," Stephens said.
The teen has been to countries such as the Czech Republic, Brazil and Spain. She also will be traveling extensively this summer within the U.S., as she competes in the World Team Tennis co-ed league with the New York Buzz.
"I like the traveling," Stephens said. "It's interesting the places we go, and I really like trying new restaurants. It gets tiring after a while, but you take a break and you're OK."
The future is wide open for Stephens.
"I have to develop," Stephens said. "I am still young, and I have a long way to go. I am only in 10th grade so I don't have to make any decisions. I don't want to make any decisions and feel pressured and then think I shouldn't have done that."
But that doesn't mean she hasn't thought about turning pro after high school. If Stephens continues finding success by the time she is a senior, she said she probably won't go to college.
"If I keep seeing results, I want to keep it going, but if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen," Stephens said.

Diversity wasn't the buzzword back in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. Diversity is the response by universities, as well as corporations, to various court decisions holding racial quotas, goals and timetables unconstitutional. Offices of diversity and inclusion are simply substitutes for yesterday's offices of equity or affirmative action. It's simply a matter of old wine in new bottles, but it's racism just the same.
In an open letter titled "To the President of My University," Carl Cohen, professor of philosophy at the University of Michigan, summarizes, "Diversity is a good thing -- but the claim that the need for diversity is so compelling that it overrides the constitutional guarantee of civic equality is one we swallow only because, by holding our nose and gulping it down, we can go on doing what our feeling of guilt demands."
Until parents, donors and taxpayers shed their unwillingness to investigate what's sold to them as higher education, what we see today will continue and get worse. Just as important is the recognition of the fact that boards of trustees at our colleges and universities bear the ultimate responsibility, and it is they who've been grossly derelict in their duty.

Mila Kunis' Gorgeous Hairstyle at the Oz Premiere: All the Details
Mila Kunis is so often snapped wearing workout duds that it always comes as a surprise when she shows up at events looking not just pretty — but perfect. Her latest stroll on the red carpet, at the Feb. 13 L.A. premiere of her new movie Oz: The Great and Powerful, was no different.
PHOTOS: See Mila's sexy transformation!The 29-year-old actress, wearing a delicate, ballerina-like Dolce & Gabbana dress with embroidered details, simply stole the spotlight. No small accomplishment considering who else walked the red carpet with her: A stunning Rachel Weisz posed in a form-fitting Victoria Beckham dress and Michelle Williams shocked in a white Prada column dress with underwear-revealing, hip-high side slit. While you may not be able to snag Kunis' designer dress or her gorgeous African drop earrings by Sutra, you can recreate her elegant updo. Here, hairstylist Mara Roszak explains to Us Weekly how she styled Kunis' hair:
PHOTOS: Who's rocking blunt bangs in Hollywood?1. "After starting with a touch of Moroccanoil Treatment, I applied Moroccanoil Curl Control Mousse to her damp ends and rough dried. This created a soft, natural hold, and helped to seal in moisture and prevent frizz."2. "Then, using a 1-inch curling iron, I touched up her natural wave by choosing random sections and rotating the direction of the waves."3. "Next, I sprayed with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium to hold the texture before I pulled up her hair."4. "I left the front pieces around her face out, pulled her hair back and wrapped it into a bun-like shape and pinned as I twisted. I loosely formed the front pieces of her hair to drape gently across her forehead, creating an effortless loose shape, and secured it with bobby pins."5. "To finish the look, I sprayed Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong for a shiny, long-lasting hold."

I saw this recently and was just awed. Says so much about photography, about history, about her... and what was the photographer thinking, that this was just another disabled girl? Or that this photograph might one day be a priceless record?
Wonderful stuff.
It raises one issue for me, relating to a recent discussion of "truth" in photography. This is an example of a subject who likely would not have reacted to the presence of the photographer. A very different kind of human subject. In that sense, because she is rather vulnerable in this state, the photograph has a quite different meaning than found in most portraits.

That is a VMsafe appliance being more than one thing.

The official investigation being run by governments and agencies has failed to find the plane, due to either incompetence or obfuscation.
We must work together to ensure the truth is found.
On behalf of the 3.1 billion people who fly every year we must find the truth and bring those accountable to justice. We must also prevent this from ever happening again."
... Sarah Bajc, Partner of Philip Wood, Seat 11C on MH370
MH370 disappeared from radar in the early morning of March 8, 2014. It was on a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing, China when it vanished over the South China Sea.
In the 100+ days since the last contact was made with MH370 there have been claims of multiple debris sightings, satellite images, pings from the air and the ocean, and hundreds of conspiracy theories which have all amounted to nothing.
Still, the plane did disappear from radar, potentially flew for an additional 7 hours undetected and unchallenged only to vanish completely without a trace. Whilst it is inconceivable this could happen to a modern jumbo jet that is what the Malaysian Government would have us believe.
This mystery has too many unknowns, false leads, unconfirmed facts and missing details. Yet, someone somewhere knows what happened to flight MH370. We hope to encourage them to come forward.
The first aspect of the campaign will be to fully fund a reward that is sizable enough to change someone's life. Our target remains $5 million and we realize this may take a little longer than anticipated and require funds generated outside of the Indiegogo campaign.
To ensure we meet this goal we are actively negotiating with key donors willing to support the reward-only aspect of our project with sizeable pledges held in an escrow to meet the funding target. These funds would be provided only in the result of a whistle blower coming forward and the reward becoming payable.
The second aspect of the campaign will be to engage a professional, licensed private investigation company to follow up on all leads we had prior to the commencement of this campaign and rule out those which are not worth pursuing.
The third aspect will to continue to fund the investigation of leads received through the reward program. This would be a requirement for the larger pledges to be secured. The more we raise, the more investigation we can do.
We believe there is a person or persons who know the truth about what happened, and know where the plane is.
We want to encourage the truth to come out by offering a substantial reward.
Every effort to locate the plane and all on board over the past 100+ days has failed. Continuing along the same path of searching under the Southern Indian Ocean is unlikely to change the outcome. Many people believe that entire exercise is a ruse to cover up what really happened.
Something must change if we are to locate the plane and all on board. Someone somewhere knows the truth we need that person/persons to come forward and provide that information to us.
Once we have these leads our efforts will include more traditional investigative work to ensure the information provide is factual and will lead to the recovery of the plane and all on board. This will include leveraging on-ground resources in areas of interest to explore leads.
The disappearance of MH370 has highlighted many flaws in the aviation industry and the procedures used to screen passengers, cargo and monitor aircraft in flight.
This unprecedented event has placed a dark cloud over the safety of over EIGHT MILLION airline passengers every day. Until MH370 is recovered and the cause of the disappearance is known the skies will not be safe. The next time it maybe you or I on board a flight that goes missing.
The investigation, as the Malaysian Government has run it, has failed to date despite significant resource contribution by many hard working searchers, and the taxpayers of many countries. To those who contributed to those efforts , we give our whole hearted thanks.
OUR effort will not be to rehash the failures with the current investigation. Rather, we will put a fresh set of eyes on the mystery. We will use proven investigative techniques, and will do our best to offer an incentive for someone to bring forward leads that have not been considered before.
The Australian Government has said they will invest another $90 million searching the floor of the Southern Indian Ocean over the next 12 months. We think this may be a total waste of taxpayer funds and end with the same result. Unless the truth comes out about where the plane really is, every search is at best a "guestimate" scenario.
The Reward MH370 initiative is lead by a team of six people: four who are family members of passengers on the ill-fated flight, and two who are experienced with fundraising and private investigation.
All decisions made regarding management of the campaign, selection of and coordination with private investigation resources, lead advancement and reward payment must be approved by a majority vote taken by the Governance Committee.
Ghislain WattrelosNo one feels the devastation of the loss of MH370 more than Ghislain Wattrelos, a French business executive. His wife Laurence and two of his teenage children, Hadrian and Amber, were returning from a holiday in Malaysia.
"How could this happen? In this age of constant connection and pervasive surveillance, a giant plane has been allowed to just disappear. That cannot be an accident." Says Wattrelos. "My family deserves to be found."
Sarah BajcPartner of Philip Wood, who was returning to Beijing to help her pack up their apartment for a move to Kuala Lumpur, has worked tirelessly to find the truth since the flight disappeared.
She believes "Without a fresh approach, the truth and the plane will never be found." According to Bajc, a high school economics teacher, "Governments and agencies have given it their best shot but have failed to turn up a single shred of evidence, either because of a faulty approach or due to intentional misdirection."
K.S. Narendran"Lives are important. So is truth. Personal loss is hard to bear, but to live in fear is intolerable.
If we can know what happened and do so collectively by all means in our hands, we help ourselves and we serve others," says K.S. Narendran, an Indian Management Consultant whose wife Chandrika Sharma is also on MH370.
"I want to find my wife, and I want to know the truth. Without the truth, families cannot move on with their lives. We need closure. The world needs closure."
Pralhad Shirseth"Since the disappearance of MH370 a dark cloud has hung over the safety of air travel and there has been growing unease over the inability of governments and their agencies to work together to ensure we are all safe when we fly." says Pralhad Shirseth, whose wife, Kranti, was on her way to visit him in North Korea, where he was Managing an Irish-based NGO.
According to Pralhad, "Until MH370 is found and the reason for its disappearance is known we will be bombarded with conspiracy theories, false leads, books and movies which will provide nothing but conjecture. We need to find the truth and ensure this never happens again."
Maarten Van SluysA Brazilian businessman, who lost his sister on Air France 447 in 2009, and was instrumental in the search and recovery of AF447, considers the mystery of MH370 more baffling, more complex and more daunting than what investigators experienced when AF447 crashed.
He said, "This recovery is going to take all the efforts of a great deal of people and I applaud the initiative of this project and the potential it will bring to the solving of this mystery."
Ethan Hunt"This mystery is unprecedented in the history of aviation, and we need to work as a collective community with one goal of finding the truth, the plane and the passengers," said Ethan Hunt.
Hunt is the CEO of Rapide 3D, a former military airmen, an experienced private investigator, and a successful Indiegogo fundraiser. Hunt said. "We are convinced that somewhere, someone knows something, and we hope this reward will entice him or her to come forward."

Enlisting the Muslim Community in Counterterrorism
Selle, Robert, The World and I
Nine days after the July 7 London public transport bombings that killed fifty-five people, British Prime Minister Tony Blair called for an alliance between government authorities and the country's Muslims that would root out the terrorists in Britain.
Calling al-Qaeda's philosophy an "evil ideology," he declared in a speech in London at a Labor Party policy conference, "Within Britain, we must join up with our Muslim community to take on the extremists. Worldwide, we should confront [terrorism] everywhere it exists. We must pull this up by the roots." In his speech, he recognized that the battle is fundamentally one of ideas and that hearts and minds are the territory that must be won. Religious extremist ideology, he intimated, must not be allowed to turn any more young Muslim men into hate-saturated fanatics.
Blair is edging toward exactly the sort of policy that is the only possible long-term solution to Islamic terrorism in the West. Patriotic, good-hearted Muslims, who comprise the vast majority of the Muslim communities in various Western countries, must be enlisted to sniff out the extremists and hatemongers--and especially those who step over the line and plan criminal acts of "war" against their host nations.
To successfully enlist Muslims in such a cause, however, a couple of things have to be realized.
1) The Muslim community is a minority community that has suffered considerable misunderstanding, contempt, and even persecution in the various Western countries in which they reside. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the community with a respectful, embracing attitude. Most Muslims are persons of color and, as such, the white majority has a sad track record of tending to look askance upon them. The bias has intensified due to the fact that a great many Muslims, especially women, are in the habit of dressing in a modest fashion, wearing headscarves, long dresses, and long sleeves. The reaction of the non-Muslim majority has often been sneering disdain and intolerance.
2) The average Muslim tends to be far more overtly religious than the average British or American Christian--not to mention the average religiously minimalist continental European. Prayer five times a day is mandatory for the serious Muslim, as is attendance at Friday mosque services and donating to charitable causes. Therefore, Western leaders' appeal to their respective Islamic communities is most effectively undertaken using respectful religious terminology. For example, to make a point to the Muslim community, it would be entirely appropriate for, say, Blair or President George W. Bush, to quote the Qur'an, citing sura and verse, or to refer to a saying of the Prophet Mohammed, following his name with the traditional Muslim phrase, "Peace be unto him. …

ASIA/SRI LANKA - The Bishop of Galle: "Dialogue with Buddhists, no to all forms of violence. The Pope encourages us "
Galle (Agenzia Fides) - Heartfelt concern for the violence that occurs in Sri Lanka; renewed appeal of dialogue and willingness to "build social and religious harmony in the country"; "thanks for the Pope's words to the Buddhists on the occasion of the feast of Vesakh": this is the attitude of the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka, in a delicate phase of history, in which there are episodes of violence, carried out by some Buddhist radicals, such as the" Bodu Bala Sana" (BBS, "Force of Buddhist power "). This was explained to Fides Agency by the Bishop of Galle, Mgr. Raymond Wickramasinghe: "We are concerned and we are carefully observing what is happening: As religious leaders we cherish peace and harmony." The Bishop - stating that he had never used the term "Buddhist Taliban" used by some newspapers - confirms to Fides "that he appreciates Buddhism, and all those who follow that philosophy, living in peace." "We are ready to build harmony in our country – he insists - working together with the Buddhists and with all men of good will. At the moment we reiterate the urgency of peace among religious communities in Sri Lanka."
Bishop Wickramasinghe takes the opportunity to comment on the Message sent by the Holy See to the Buddhist world for the feast of Vesakh ("the feast of awakening"): "We are delighted that the Church and the Holy Father, show affection and benevolence towards the Buddhists. It is an encouraging step for us, we are with him and we continue our mission in this direction. The Buddhists are our brothers. We have always had a fruitful dialogue and a deep alliance with them. In my diocese we have also built some small monasteries in Buddhist temples and built very deep spiritual relationships. The Holy Father's words encourage us and comfort us."
The Bishop reiterates condemnation of "all forms of violence, in Sri Lnaka and other parts of the world, and towards any act against man, including the one against the unborn child. The Church teaches us to respect the dignity of every human being. We want to live in peace and harmony in Sri Lanka and defend the dignity of every human being, without any distinction of religion or ethnicity. Religions, have the vocation to be an instrument of peace among the nations: violence is a betrayal of the true religion." (PA) (Agenzia Fides 03/05/2013)

Vienvenido a Tenerife 2015!
What is new for 2015
The prettiest town in Tenerife award goes to: Santiago Del Teide "Prettiest Town In Tenerife"
The mountain town is many metres above sea level. The award was given by the National Geographic magazine and has been awarded by a panel of acclaimed judges. However the town ranks 9th in the Canary Islands as a whole, which comes for the most scenic towns being in La Gomera and El Hierro.
Fuereventure named Spanish cultural herirtage place of the year according to the world centre of arts.
The property market has stabilized in Spain and in Tenerife in general. House prices rose 3.4% in 2014, but are yet much lower than their peaks of 2008. For the UK market, buying on the island has increased as steadier pace because of the increased Sterling over the Euro. This have been even more helped by a more resilient UK economy, meaning UK expats with more money to spend in Tenerife. House prices are still much lower in country regions such as the La Orotava valley. In Santa Ursula also the proprerty prices are much lower than in the south of Tenrife or in touristic places such as Puerto de la Cruz
Look at this guide for this online marketing agency in Tenerife. The company have a range solutions, useful for any small business who want to imprve their visibility in the search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, Bing. They are based in Puerto de le Cruz, which is only 20 minute drive from La Laguna and 1 hours awa from the capital Santa Cruz, which makes it highly suitable to do buiness with them. Do no be fooled that they have a Wix website, they are they most professional on the island by a long shot!
It does not matter where in the worold you are, London, or San fransico, whether you a small retailer, or a large business or festival provider, you can use their marketing services and get results. L.Optimize are now working with a large Dutch company to exand their reach and improve their end product.
The south of the island has become a place increasingly popular for 'surgery tourism', which is where somebody combines a holiday with cosmetic surgery. This is appealing as it allows people to be able to recover and relax after a medical procedure. The prices are also favourable compared to north Europe.
Tenerife Host has opened in Las Americas. They are right of the main street near Monkey Beach Bar and Papagayo nightlclub.
Tenerife Host -Sight seeing tours, Las Americas. The owner is a Ukranian guy who is quite cool. He has lived in Tenerife for a few years. The company aslo offer boat trips and hiking tours all over the island. It is best if you go directly to their website to make a book as this is the quickest way to find what you are looking for and get at ticket.
They are based in the south, but will most likely have a office in the North also. Also have a look at the Tenerife Host Instagram profile which includes many beautiful pictures of Tenerife.
There are some truly stunning pictures of different parts of the island which really show the contrast of the 11 micro climaets of the island. Which area will you choose to visit next? Well we will leave that up to you! Some might say the South is more interesting with all the parties and wild entertainment, but personally I find the peace and quite and traditional Spanish culture of the North more appealing. But I guess it depends on what you look for in a holiday and also your personality type. Each to their own we might say!
Tenerife Canrival Official website
The island is still in the grip of economic hardship Tenerife has unemployment rate of 75% for under 25's. Although there are some signs that this will change with extra funding for the European Union.
Loro Park has has been the scene of much interest with a work being acidenty tranquilised with a dart by a fellow worker who dressed in a Gorrial suit. A fellow vet did not know the Loropark work was taking part of a routine drill.
Read the full article in the independent.
A new company has opened up in the South Tenerife Build. You can find the company in Adeje, which is very close to Las Americas. See Tenerife Build Swimming Pool construction, if you want to know more about have either pool maintenance or a brand new extension or swimming pool. They guarantee to match any other competitor on price, which of course is what people are most conscious of in today's financial climate. They cater mostly to the luxury and VIP market, although they do on occasion offer series to the average person who is willing to wait 6 months ( waiting list ) to have their pool serviced

1998 Saturn SC2 • 4 cylinder 2WD Automatic • 150,000 miles
Hello, My daughter has a 1998 Saturn SC2. I have done the basic maintenance on the vehicle and when I changed the spark plugs, I noticed some oil on the plug wires and also the plug itself. If you're facing the Motor this was on the far left plug. What do I need to do inorder to fix this and is this something I can fix myself? Thanks for the help
January 5, 2011.

Yes you can fix it yourself pretty easy. What you have to do is remove the valve cover replace the valve cover gasket. But before you put the valve cover back on you must put a bead of silicone along where the front cover meet's the head the short straight surface on the side facing you and the side facing the firewall. If you don't it will leak oil pretty bad.
I posted a diagram of where you put the silicone.
Thanks for the answer and help on this. Now will this also apply if oil is on the firing side of the plug or are we getting into a different issue? Also, when you first crank up the car one of the belts squeek for about 30 seconds and after giving it some gas the squeek goes away and doesn't happen anymore. Any guidance on that? I'm thinking its a belt issue. Thanks again for the assistance
As far as the oil on the combustion side of the plug are you sure it's not from the oil leaking into the plug well then leaking into the plug hole when removing the plug?No for your squealing when first starting up that sound's like a weak belt tensioner. You can try replacing the belt first but more then likely you will be changing the belt tensioner next.
As far as the oil, it could of possibly been the oil leaking down when I took the plug out, so I'll do what you recommended first and go from there. Never thought of the belt tensioner, I will also replace that. The car actually runs really good with good MPG, just some minor work. Thanks again for the support
Hey are you burning any oil?If so how much in a 3,000 mile period?
In a 3,000 mile period I would say less than a quart.
That's good so I wouldn't worry about that oil it had in the combustion camber it had to be some oil that went in when you pulled the plug's. Glad I could help you out let me know if you have any other question's.
Thanks again, one more thing, is there anyway you can send me a diagram of the belt tensioner like you did for the valve cover? Thanks
There you go.
A while back I had to replace a leaking valve cover gasket on a 98 sl2. Today the gasket blew around one of the spark plugs. When I installed the new gasket, I had cleaned all ...

But my experience in the hotel was great, it has good installations, a regular breakfast and a great swimming pool. I'd stay there again if I need to work in somewhere close to there.

I buy this product since 3 years and i will continue to buy it. The scent is fresh and i love the feeling on my skin. My face look less oily and more unify (no more wird red patchs). The thing that i like the most is that we don't need a lot of product each time we used it. One bottle take me approximatively 6 months to be ampty and i used it EVERYDAY!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Red, Straight, Fine

I have been using this cleansing gel since it was launched by Yves Rocher. I have very sensitive skin and most things break me out before I even get out of the shower. I have tried so many expensive face cleansers and DS cleansers and none of them clean my face like this gel does.
I love the bottle and that you don't need all that much cleanser to clean your face. The gel has a nice scent and great texture. It even cleans off my basic makeup. Another great thing about this cleanser is that you can use it to wash your eye makeup off and even leave the cleanser on and open your eyes and it not sting.
I highly rec'd this as your daily cleaner.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Relaxed, Fine

Great cleanser, foams nicely, removes all my face makeup. Does not make my skin feel tight, just feels clean. Does not sting my eyes no matter how much I rub them with it. Love the gel texture and smell. costs only 6$ CAD with the 50% coupon for a big size bottle. I have started using this in the summer and have purchased 6 bottles so far.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Dry, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
I had a coupon so I decided to use it for this product as I'm always keen to try new cleansers. At first I liked the fresh citrusy smell and the gel consistency. But then it started to burn my chin. The next day I woke up with pimples around my mouth! And normally I never have any at all. I'm going to toss it away.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other

super cheap when it goes on sale, cost effective, it cleans well cost me $6 cdn, highly recommended! super gentle for my normal to oily skin in the summer and normal to slightly dry skin in the winter. i ain't buying any expensive skin care anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Age: 30-35

This "cleanser" reminded me a lot of Eucerin Redness Relief Cleanser. It didn't budge my sunscreen or makeup. It dried out my face in just a few uses. And it broke me out in lots of angry and red zits that kept coming for a week after use. I have rosacea, so maybe it wasn't playing nice with that, despite being marketed for skin that needs soothing (hence, the chamomille). It didn't really lather either, despite having sodium laureth sulfate as the 3rd ingredient, but was more of a slimy gel.

I've been using this cleanser every day for about a year, and I really like it. I think I'm on my 5th bottle of it now!
I have sensitive skin, and it hasn't caused any irritation. It cleanses well, but doesn't leave my face feeling tight. I also like the scent � it's nice, but not too strong. The product doesn't foam up too much � just enough and rinses off easily. I will continue to buy this product.

I generally like Yves Rocher products (I buy them through mail-order). This one is pretty good. It leaves skin nice and soft and it' s pretty gentle. It's a nice everyday cleanser.

Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other

it's my favourite cleanser so far - non-stripping, gentle yet effective. the fragrance is rather mild. btw i've tried various cleansers from this brand as well as el, lancome, shiseido, px, biotherm and i still like this the most. abit expensive for the amount though... (about US$12 for 100ml is wat i get here)
Age: Unknown
Skin: Other, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Other, Other, Other
Eyes: Other
OK-let's get the truth out there--this stuff isn't really all that foaming! Otherwise this is a great mild cleanser. It was given Aluure grand pize 2000--or so the tubes I bought in Canada advertized. The only thing is that it probably will irritate eyes if you try to remove eye make-up with it.

Winchester Run had new roofs installed and complete exterior painting in 2010. The property is unique to most apartments because it leases about 25% of its units to corporate and FAA students. This has enabled the property to operate with very high occupancy and generate higher income than most conventional apartment communities. There is a high demand for corporate and FAA units in this south location due to the property' s close location to Will Rogers World Airport and the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center.
The property is convenient to Will Rogers Airport, fine dining and shopping, I-240, I-35 and I-44. The Winchester Run location has easy access to Downtown and Bricktown, Tinker AFB, and the nearby Oklahoma City Community College.

No, this is a message from NetGuard, which I don't have so I can't really suggest anything.
I don't know the reason for this.
See http://www.mcafee.com/threat-intelligence/ip/default.aspx?ip=18.104.22.168

When I input http://18.104.22.168 in either Firefox or IE I got a WOT (Web of Trust) red warning not to go there but when I did anyway it said it couldn't resolve the page. (click to enlarge)
It does belong to Google however:
So not too sure what to suggest other than possible spyware on the machine or bad cookies at least.

6. Re: McAfee warns against google.com (126.96.36.199)Ex_Brit Sep 22, 2011 9:40 AM (in response to plaur)
You can edit the thread header by clicking 'Edit Discussion' at the right of your first post, if the button is visible, not sure if you get it as I am a Moderator and see all buttons at all times.
You don't necessarily have malware, but you say Malwarebytes found nothing. Is this Malwarebytes Free edition? I ask because that's the only version I recommend with an antivirus such as McAfee. Try updating Malwarebytes and running it in Safe Mode. (Reached by tapping F8 while booting up).
There are some other free tools here: https://community.mcafee.com/docs/DOC-2168 it's qwuite long so read down all of it.
Also you said that you have Windows 7, I hope that you mean Windows 7 SP1, if not there is help here: https://community.mcafee.com/docs/DOC-2205

As per my research, the IP 126.96.36.199 does belongs to Google.
But when I scanned the IP, I found the following results:
Malware found in the URL:
Possible Spam detected (multiple external links).
Details: http://sucuri.net/malware/entry/MW:SPAM:SEO
Description: Web site identified with Blackhat SEO Spam. This often means that it was hacked and the attackers inserted links to their own sites to increase their page rank on search engines.

Google will fix this problem pretty fast if they know about it. I assume they do know about it?
Edit - PS, look again at the Google SafeBrowsing report in the post above.
9. Re: McAfee warns against google.com (184.108.40.206)plaur Sep 22, 2011 5:36 PM (in response to Hayton)
Thanks all.
Full scan with McAfee and malwarebytes(free) in safe mode reported clean.
I wanted to mark all posts as 'helpfull' but could only mark the first three.
P.S. Impressed with the quick and nice help! Will use this site again.

Comments by Zia
I like this show, and would watch a season 2. It's not the best, but its not the worst either. They do have some good actors on here. I'm hoping that it is re-newed, and that the writers give us a little more. I love the concept of cop partners having to go to therapy. I'm glad we find out why Wes and Travis we were sent to therapy in the finale. Hopefully, we get another season.
I'm glad that someone told Angela. Lydia's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she was right in telling Angela. I hope that we do find out soon who the father is. I'm sure this is not the end of Lydia. Didn't this actress play the, "I don't know who the father is" character on Friends? Talk about type casting. I think Casey should appear soon also. And Maura's bio mother, has to come back at some point. I'm sure when Maura's sister gets really sick and is facing death, one or the other will contact Maura.
I hope they can continue, I don't think this show has lost anything. It's heading into another direction, but all shows have to, once they have been on so long. NCIS has been on almost twice as long and it does not seem to be slowing down.
I think they have a lot of places they could go. He finished with Anson, but since someone show both Anson and Nate, Anson might not have been the head person who burned Michael afterall. We need to find out who shot Nate and why, so I'm sure thats good for a few episodes. Most people were thinking it was Rebecca, and I went along as well, but I had said that I hope they would not be that obvious. I'm glad the writers did not disappoint. I agree Rebecca will be back. Pearce should have been at the service. I'm glad we see Sam's girlfriend finally, she should make it interesting. I wonder if the spoiled rich kid gets in trouble again.
I think the Van Dyke thing was a little strange, since it was never his personality in the first place to do something like that. I did like the rest of the episode, although I am also wondering about Paige and Evan, I wonder if a break-up is coming on. I hope not, I like them together, but I see the writers going with some conflict. I loved the dog becoming the hard nosed Russian's companion.
I did not see Willie Ray's death coming, until I saw Brenda's father at the kitchen table, without Willie Ray. I thought they were going to go with a sudden death, but that it would be Clay. The make up people have to be given some recognition, great shot, and the actress, not even a twitch while your eyes are open. Very good, acting by Kyra as well. I hated to see Willie Ray go, but I will hate to see this entire show go. I've enjoyed every episode.
My favorite scene was when Michael told his Mom about Nate. How heart breaking. Love Sharon. No not shocked. Someone did let it slip earlier, but it was the appropriate one to go. Michael had a big smile on his face. He was proud of his little brother there for a moment, before Nate got shot. I guess Rebecca is a good choice, since she was not in the show, but I'm hoping its not that obvious, and they lead us to believe its her and its not. I'm glad the storyline is over. Dragging it on would have just irritated eveyone. I do think it was anti-climatic. I would think they would have shown Michael confronting Anson, but then how would Nate have been shot and the next storyline started? I liked the little brother who screws up story, but I don't think with him gone it hurts the show. Anyone else, I think there would be a big void.
Jade....relax. We all have our opinions, no one gets everything right every time, and I'm sure that includes you. I'm sad that Nate is gone, the little brother that is a screw up, did add to the show. But if someone had to go, then I think they picked the right one. Now Michael will spend some time looking for Nate's killer. Rebecca is a good theory, but that also might where the writers want us to think its going. We will see. I'm glad the Anson part is done. I love Ayn, and I hope we see her again. Maybe as the client of the week. Glad Fiona is out and they did not drag that out too long. I loved the scene where Michael tells his Mom, great acting. I'm sure there has to be some feelings of guilt from Michael and a little anger from Mom towards Michael. This is a great show, sorry to see only a couple left before another break.
I think that it showed how they will stay together as partners, where as in the beginning of the show, you weren't quite sure. Travis telling his old mentor, that Wes is his partner and its their case, showed that. I do agree with the reviewer, that they need a stronger last 2 shows, to get this show renewed. I like it, but it needs a little more intensity and action. I hope they renew it, I think the actors work well together.
@Martinelli....she does get into a lot. Now Mom will be there to see what has happened to her little girl. I can't wait to see the reactions of both Steve and Mary. There has to be some mistrust or hard feelings towards Mom McG. It will add some good story telling along with everything else that is happening. I've noticed in the shots that I've seen, that Chin is not wearing his usual Hawaiian shirts. I wonder if thats a sign of his personality change that the writers were referring to.

Addition of telephone coaching to a physiotherapist-delivered physical activity program in people with knee osteoarthritis: A randomised controlled trial protocol

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2012, 13:246 doi:10.1186/1471-2474-13-246Published: 11 December 2012
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common and costly chronic musculoskeletal conditions world-wide and is associated with substantial pain and disability. Many people with knee OA also experience co-morbidities that further add to the OA burden. Uptake of and adherence to physical activity recommendations is suboptimal in this patient population, leading to poorer OA outcomes and greater impact of associated co-morbidities. This pragmatic randomised controlled trial will investigate the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of adding telephone coaching to a physiotherapist-delivered physical activity intervention for people with knee OA.
168 people with clinically diagnosed knee OA will be recruited from the community in metropolitan and regional areas and randomly allocated to physiotherapy only, or physiotherapy plus nurse-delivered telephone coaching. Physiotherapy involves five treatment sessions over 6 months, incorporating a home exercise program of 4–6 exercises (targeting knee extensor and hip abductor strength) and advice to increase daily physical activity. Telephone coaching comprises 6–12 telephone calls over 6 months by health practitioners trained in applying the Health Change Australia (HCA) Model of Health Change to provide behaviour change support. The telephone coaching intervention aims to maximise adherence to the physiotherapy program, as well as facilitate increased levels of participation in general physical activity. The primary outcomes are pain measured by an 11-point numeric rating scale and self-reported physical function measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index subscale after 6 months. Secondary outcomes include physical activity levels, quality-of-life, and potential moderators and mediators of outcomes including self-efficacy, pain coping and depression. Relative cost-effectiveness will be determined from health service usage and outcome data. Follow-up assessments will also occur at 12 and 18 months.
The findings will help determine whether the addition of telephone coaching sessions can improve sustainability of outcomes from a physiotherapist-delivered physical activity intervention in people with knee OA.

Roche engineering firm independently chosen by the AMF
along with Genivar both 43-101 recognized engineering firms
along with other top scientific companiesaround the world have verified
Orbite's Patents and ability to extract Alumina and rare earths
very economically and with no environmental footprint .
Orbite has produced 70 tons of HPA under commercial cconditions in
their pilot plant proving already their ability supply, economically, HPA.
The new plant is state of the art facility which will improve production significantly
and result in producing HPA more profitably. Right now I am pretty sure aall will go
as planned. We know commissioning is iminent which will result in a higher
SP and an avalanche of institutional buying when a JV, MOU, Offtake agreement,
licensing deal, customers for HPA etc. are announced. Cheers

Before I start, I want to extend my thoughts and prayers to everyone in France, and everyone affected by this awful tragedy. It is incredibly sad and scary. Peace needs to rule in our world…somehow.
A few years ago I started the Industry MVP award here on the blog to recognize people and companies for their efforts and support of the glass and glazing industry. Obviously there are quite a few candidates that deserve credit for what they do, so trying to narrow it down has become quite the challenge. Let's begin with a reminder of past winners and nominees before we get to the runners up for 2015.
Winner: Tracy Rogers, Quanex
Runners up:
- Tom Culp
- Mark Silverberg
- Ed Zaucha
- Mic Patterson
- Oliver Stepe
- Dr. Helen Sanders
- Scott Thomsen
Note: All but Scott are still very active and influential in the industry. Scott retired but his legacy thanks to "Battle for the Wall" and great technology lives on.
Winner: C.R. Laurence Co.
Runners up:
- John Wheaton
- Rick Wright
- Tom O'Malley
- Bernard Lax
Note: See what happens when you win Industry MVP from me? Your company becomes a part of the biggest deal of the century!
Onto 2015
Today, I will present the runners up for the 2015 MVP, and the winner will be presented on my last scheduled blog of 2015 in mid-December. Nominees were gathered from my knowledge of who's who, along with several submissions from readers and followers of this blog. I then narrowed the field to five, using the criteria that included some of the following categories:
- Overall Influence in 2015 on the industry
- Technology/innovation
- Industry support
- My opinion and knowledge of them and what they do. After all it's my blog and my award right?
After that I studied the five candidates against each other and then determined the MVP. This is a tough decision. As it was in previous years, all of these people and companies are certainly deserving of this huge honor. And to note, this is all on me, it has nothing to do with Glass Magazine (who graciously runs my blog weekly) or GlassBuild America. They don't even know who I am picking.
The runners up for 2015 feature two companies and two individual. They are listed in no particular order.
- Walker Glass. This is a company that is always at every industry event and meeting. And they just don't attend to attend; they are active, with many of their folks on or leading committees. In addition, they have made great technology advancements. This year, they made a major splash with their heavy push into bird-safe glass. The team there is led by owners Lee Harrison and Ross Christie, who may be the nicest people around. It's a great mix, nice, hardworking people, who are doing very good things for our world.
- Garret Henson, Viracon. I think if I mention Garret any more he may take out a PPO on me. So, this will be the last time, at least in 2015. Garret is very deserving, and he cemented his place on this list with his performance at the Glazing Executive Forum in September. He takes very smart approaches to selling, and his massive embrace of communication is something I wish more would do. He's also built a team around him at Viracon that always impresses and makes our industry look good.
- Dip-Tech. The other company on the MVP list is this great Israeli organization. Dip-Tech has been very impressive in basically creating a new market from scratch. They have some incredibly engaging people that are always innovating, and always looking to see what else they can do to support the cause. They could have chosen to sit back and soak in their successes, but that has not been the case. Plus they are active and supportive within in the industry in many different forums, and are open to every idea.
- Kris Vockler, ICD High Performance Coatings. Personally, I consider Kris to be a close friend. She is a fantastic person, and is a part of one of the best families this industry has. Professionally, though, is where this nomination comes from. The time, care, and effort Kris puts in at the trade level via GANA is impressive. Her desire for an overall advancement in the way the industry works is extremely admirable and needed. On the business side, ICD (with lots of credit to Kris' dad Larry) has been pushing the envelope for years. They could sit back, but don't, and that's due to the drive Kris has.
Congratulations to the Industry MVP Runners Up! Thank you for doing what you do for this industry. Next month I'll recognize the 2015 MVP. And, as a hint, it is an individual this year, not a company.
Read on for links and video of the week...

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Sailing Day Tour on Sydney Harbour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Page: 1
It was Just Great. Toni is a very good Host and Captain on the Boat. I would do the Trip again and recommend to everybody.
Even as a small group this was enjoyable even if we didnt have enough wind to puff out those sails, but the sails did come up even for a short time. It was lots of fun and would do it again
We had a fantastic time! Tony the captain was fantastic - so knowledgeable about local history and the local environment. Loved his stories. Loved not being on a big boat with hundreds of other people. The best afternoon I have ever had in Sydney. 5 stars is not enough.
If you are interested in doing this trip then i recommend being brave enough to jump off the boat and have a swim in the harbor - so refreshing and so much fun.
What a lovely day. We were lucky enough to have the whole boat to ourselves for the half day sailing trip round sydney harbour. boat collected us from darling harbour and our skipper was friendly and informative. we would recommend this trip for the price in comparison to others we had seen.
I cant actually review something it didn't happened! Have tried to contact both companies and none of them have got back to me! My tour was booked for the end of February, and surprisingly we got to the wharf to find no one there! Quite disappointed and $350 (2 people) poorer.

At first glance, the story of Michael Paul Sorrentino is a classic rags-to-riches tale: A fitness store employee, exotic dancer and model is struck by Hollywood lightning in his mid-20s, transforming him from a virtual unknown to a reality TV sensation.
But as the star of MTV's mega-hit, "Jersey Shore" says, his fame, fortune and six-pack abs did not insulate him from a problem plaguing so many Americans: Addiction to prescription painkillers.
"This disease of addiction has touched not just me but millions of Americans out there," said the 32-year-old Sorrentino, aka "The Situation." "Me ...
