i am a hairdresser and have my hands in water and chemicals all day. i can layer on a million different lotions during the day and they just get washed off as soon as i get a new client. i was nervous to try this with my hands being in people's hair all day. i didn't wanna leave anyone with greasy hair!!! but i was at my wits end this winter and finally grabbed some. it didn't take long for it to become HG for me. not only does it moisturize but it also lasts through a couple washings and protects . yes, it takes a few minutes to sink in. but it does eventually. i recommend this to anyone that has problems with dry hands. i can't say enough about how good this stuff is. i had tried everything. even bag balm with gloves which did nothing for me. i won't be without this unless they stop making it!!!!

Just bought my second tube. I can't believe I hadn't tried this product earlier!!! First, I have reactive, eczema, itchy skin. My hands crack and peel easily. They got so bad this winter, I was desperate. Aveda Hand cream is my HG. Well, that caused much burning. The only 2 creams that worked were Eucerin cream in the jar and the Vaseline Creamy formula. I use this cream about 3 times a day and the Eucerin cream at night. Cured my red, peeled hands and for the first time, no more cracks on the fingers! I have tried EVERYTHING. (FTR, Eucerin and Vaseline alone, didn't work for me either. I have to use both daily).This stuff works a touch BETTER than the Aveda plus it's fragrance free and CHEAP. $2.98 at Target. Seriously. I prefer this much over Aveda and I never thought I'd say that. Aveda was my HG for years.

My hands were falling apart. I have eczema and I teach 3rd grade, so I wash frequently as well as use Purell. My hands were bleeding and cracked. This cream works as a barrier and is very soothing. Nothing else I've used has worked as well. I bought my 1st tube two days ago and there is a vast change in the skin on my hands. My knuckles don't bleed when I bend my fingers! I also use this on the eczema patches on my face. Does the job perfectly. I slathered this stuff onto my feet and wore socks to bed. My feet feel look much better too! Great product.

This stuff is great! I've used other creams and lotions but I always come back to this cream. It helps my very dry skin. I feel moisturized for hours and in the winter season, that can be hard to achieve! I wish it had a slight scent though. That would be a bonus!! For those who like light weight moisturizers, this cream may not be for you.

I've been using this stuff for years. My hands used to crack and bleed because they'd dry out so easily. I was on a prescription hand cream as a child because my hands got so dry. This is the heaviest and most effective product I've ever been able to find. It can be a little greasy for a while after applying, but that's one of the reasons it works so well. If a cream or lotion isn't at least a little greasy, it probably isn't doing its job. There needs to be a film on the skin to hold the moisture in, and nobody has perfected that like Vaseline. It can be a little expensive but Shopper's ocassionally has it on sale for $1.99 so I always stock up. I like that it's fragrance-free because I just really don't like fragranced products. Fragrance in skin care isn't good for you, especially if you've got sensitive skin.

HG! HG!!! OMG HG!!!!!!!! this stuff is amazing! I cannot use enough exclamation points here!
I moved from florida (humid wet state) to Colorado (suck the moisture from your skin...so much I swear you can see it evaporating state! lol) and my lips have been chapped ever since. Chap stick didn't touch it, many many balms, carmax, everything! My beautiful kissable lips had vanished and now I had chapped peeling nasty lips no matter what I seemed to try. So yesterday I was reading through the reviews of moisturizers for my face (as clinique broke me out something awful!). Came across this with all the HG comments. Read what Scout8 had said about using it on her lips. I figure eh...I�m heading out to Wal-Mart anyway�it's dirt cheap...about the cost of a chap stick anyway. I was still a bit weary because I really dislike the normal in a tub Vaseline. I put that stuff on and no matter what I do- scrub... wash... it makes me feel greasy and gross. But this stuff...OMG! one use. JUST ONE. my lips are back! beautiful, healing! I cannot get over it. I keep touching them and rubbing them together. I actually had a line on my lips, like a ridge of dry skin, and poof, vanished, gone! soft soft soft. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. This stuff smells nice, goes on soft, comes off easily with no greasy feel afterward. I am in love. swoon!
once again Makeupalley is amazing! Thanks to everyone for writing about it as this is a product I never would have tried on my own.

Like all the others, I am a huge fan. After finding out I am allergic to certain cosmetic ingredients, I've had to change up my face routine quite a bit and I am addicted to studying ingredient lists and comparing brands, it's amazing how many things out there claim to do the impossible, charge outrageous sums of money, and actually hurt your skin more than help ... well, after all this, I have found a couple staple do-gooders for the skin - regular vaseline and this creamy formula are two of them, this helps tremendously during the winter months when my face gets dry patches and suffers from wind burn. Amazing, even after one use. I'm hooked. *UPDATE* this actually started to break me out, so I went back to the regular jug of vaseline that remains a godsend.

This is my holy grail moisturizer for my dry skin. Nothing keeps the "itchies" away like this. I am always trying other lotions but always come back to this. The only thing I don't like is its lack of a pleasant fragrance.

This might sound crazy, but here's an alternate use - I've used this on my hair. I got the tip from one of my guyfriends who substituted this for gel, as he didn't like how stiff hair gets from gel. If you use just a little and rub it into the ends (def. NOT the roots - you'll get greasy) before you blowdry or heatstyle, it works wonders. For those of you who want volume and height, it might drag you down. But for others (like me) who like the straight/shiny/sleek look, it's amazing.

Cost of detention? $113,000 per asylum seeker
- Share
Australia's fixation with asylum seekers arriving by boat has cost taxpayers nearly $2.4b since 2000, according to Budget and ANAO documents.
The expenditure includes spending to deter, process and most of all detain asylum seekers who have arrived by boat. Mandatory detention of asylum seekers was first introduced by the Keating Government and continued and expanded under the Howard Government, with a proliferation of offshore detention sites designed to punish asylum seekers and deter others from coming.
The $2.4 billion cost is separate from spending on detention facilities for other detainees such as asylum seekers who arrive by air, or visa overstayers — most years, the latter exceed maritime arrivals by a factor of ten or more.
The cost also does not include hundreds of millions spent on border security measures adopted under the Howard Government, nor the cost of conducting and carrying out the recommendations of the Comrie and Palmer Reports into the treatment of Cornelia Rau and Vivian Solon by the Immigration Department.
The cost of establishing and maintaining facilities on Nauru, where asylum seekers were detained before inevitably being allowed to live in Australia, still remains a mystery. It was kept out of the Budget papers by the Howard Government; in fact, bizarrely, the cost of the Nauru facility is a net negative in the Department of Immigration's Budget papers since 2000, with over $35m in savings booked from the operation of the facility in 2006 — when it held two Iraqi asylum seekers — and a cost of $10m appearing as a Budget measure the following year, for continuation of the facility. Some of the facility's original funding came from the AusAID budget.
Non-government sources have since estimated the cost of the Nauru facility at $1b over five years; a far higher figure than that offered by an Immigration spokesman in 2006, who provided a "preliminary estimate" that the facility cost around $1 million a month regardless of whether there were any inmates. The Coalition has consistently refused to provide a costing for its current proposal to reopen Nauru as a holding centre for asylum seekers. A plausible costing for the operation of the Nauru facility pushes the cost of the policy to over $2.5 billion.
Also problematic is the cost of the construction of the upgraded detention facility on Christmas Island, one of the many expensive bungles investigated by the Howard Government that received critical reports by the Auditor-General. The cost of the facility has an uncertain existence in the Immigration Budget papers, appearing only fleetingly from year to year. That's because the construction of the facility was primarily overseen by the Department of Finance, with funding also going via the then-Department Transport and Regional Services.
The project was originally costed at just under $200m but, according to the ANAO, ended up costing $317m due to poor management by the Department of Finance. Another $200m has been spent in the last two years to further increase accommodation on Christmas Island and provide other detention facilities.
The cost of detaining asylum seekers only — that is, removing costs for deterrence and anti-people smuggling activities — totals just over $2b since 2000. During that period, just over 18,000 people have arrived by boat. That means taxpayers have spent about $113,000 simply to detain each asylum seeker, on average, across the period. Our obsession with detention comes with with a big price tag.

"investigated by the Howard Government"? Is that meant to be "instigated". I don't recall the Howard govt investigating any of its bungles too deeply.

Jiminy Cricket, this accommodation is even more expensive than Oprah's presidential suite at Sydney's Intercontinental last December.
Perhaps Chris Bowen should approach the Intercontinental chain to arrange a party booking for the next boatload - it would be more cost-effective. After all, the Oz government/taxpayer already did a deal with them on Oprah's bill.

Good article, Bernard. I guess the Australian public now have an informed choice - continue on as usual, knowing that the cost/asylum seeker is exhorbitant, or come to their senses and process people on-shore at a fraction of the cost.
My guess is that neither will be acceptable to the hard core, and we will be back to "turning the boats around", letting people drown, or the "go back to where you came from" scenario. More trouble ahead.

$300 million for Nauru. Found out last year. Total cost for Pacific "solution" was over $2.5 billion though once the cost of war ships and other things were factored in.
I reckon the full cost of this lunacy over the past 20 years has been close to $10 billion when we consider that $1.2 billion was the cost just in the last financial year with $772 million on prison costs alone last year which do not include the $400 million in rebuilding costs and new prisons.
And for whom? The 2385 Afghans put on hold but have now almost all been granted visas - 1335 in the last financial year alone and 766 in the first 6 months of 2010.
In the last financial year over 2700 visas were granted but 1500 remained jailed.
A family could have had a decent house bought for them for the cost of their illegal prison.
When things are so bad even that hard arsed Metcalfe is calling for a better way then we know the pollies have gone way over the top in their wish to punish innocent people over and over again.
And for the people smuggling - Mr Al Jenabi helped his family escape Saddam Hussein, he spent 8 years in Abu Ghraib but Australia rendered him from Thailand because he helped people in Indonesia and we jailed him for 4 years claiming he broke some law.
He still lives in limbo, his is just one of the many stories of not people smuggling we jail innocent people for.
And Article 232a of the migration act means nothing more than giving refugees a ride yet our courts are so dumb they think it means smuggling - out in the open? Really, smuggling out in the open?
What a hoot. People should stop wearing heroin strapped under their clothes and wear it outside their clothes.
Finally, slowly but surely some parts of the media and courts and lawyers are catching on to the fact that there are no people smugglers.

The cost of establishing and maintaining facilities on Nauru, where asylum seekers were detained before inevitably being allowed to live in Australia, still remains a mystery.
Incorrect, 42% of Boatpeople put through the Pacific Solution got Australian Visas.
The reality is that the Nauru solution was actually very very cheap because for a large initial outlay, it resulted in long term cost savings by reducing boat arrivals to negligible numbers.
We see that in Gillards budget where she has had to boost immigration spending by about $1 Billion Dollars a YEAR.
Now why did she need to do that? Because the endless armada of boats has mean about 6 detention centres have had to be reopened and thousands of new immigration staff hired. That costs big bucks.
Howard closed detention centres. He did this by having Nauru and TPV's as a big deterrent to boatpeople.
You stop the boats, you stop the costs. You stop the boats, you save lives.
This is not rocket science.

We could easily solve the detention cost problem by not detaining asylum seekers. We save money, and as a liberal democracy the state is no longer detaining people without charge. Win-win.

Yes which will then encourage thousands more to come on boats.
Then we'll have 100,000 coming to our shores a year wanting welfare, free health care, education, housing, etc etc.
That will then cost us Hundreds of Billions and send the country broke.
You solve the costs problem by stopping the boats. Howard saved Billions after the introduction of the Pacific Solution because rather than having 7 or 8 detention centres chocka-block, we had 1 detention centre with a half dozen people in it

Whatever it takes and whatever it costs, all it needs is a firm, determined decision from the government to never allow uninvited immigrants into Australia. People smugglers should get life, meaning lifelong prison terms, and the boats should be auctioned off.
Once that's done the problem simply disappears.
We are not going to solve any of the world's problems by pandering to unscupulous asylum seekers, organised crime, corrupt governments and the awful home mish-mash of refugee adviocacy groups, the excruciating Hanson-Young, Amnesty and shonky lawyers.
We did not elect any of these to run our immigration intake, why should we kowtow to them?

Detention is only the beginning of costs incurred by Australian tax payers.
Once they have been given permission to live here then the costs really escalate. They often don't have jobs or pay taxes for some time. We the tax payer must supply them with housing, schools, hospital beds, payments for food and utilities etc. Many send money from their Centrelink payments back home.
Removing detention centres and allowing asylum seekers to be processed in the community is still going to incur large costs. It requires a large number of people and other resources to support these people until they become independant. These costs would be much more difficult to quantify. I guess that makes it appealing to politicians.
Infrastructure is not keeping up with this extra demand.
Allowing uncontrolled immigration into Australia is not going to solve the problems of the world.

Why is it bad to pay for transport?
When people fly here under false pretences, claim asylum months or years later and live and work in the community and most are not refugees surely that is unscrupulous?

The problem with the current government is they are trying to have a bet each way.
We are tough… but we aren't too tough. We want to stop the boats… but we don't want to stop the boats.
You see it time and time again with this government.
Oceanic Viking, sent em back then promised them insta-visas cos they were too gutless to kick them off the boat.
Christmas Island and Villawood riots and arson. We might only reward you with a TPV if you play up!
Malaysian Solution…. we are sending everyone who arrives to Malaysia!(oh except for the frail, elderly, disabled, kids, kids mums, kids dads, gramps, grandma, uncle terry, the guy with one eye and anyone wearing a green shirt that day)
Labor has to get serious. They either want to stop the boats or they don't. If they want to stop the boats, reintroduce TPV's and pick up to the phone to Nauru. The Labor half measures just aint working.

People smugglers should get life, meaning lifelong prison terms, and the boats should be auctioned off.
The people smugglers know all the loopholes and the latest one is to have the boats captained by 16 year olds.
No jail term, flown back to Indonesia at the taxpayers expense ready to board and sail the next boat in. Genius.
If the Malaysian Solution ever looks like getting up, expect boats packed full of kids because Labor will be too gutless to send kids to Malaysia

Good article.
May I pedantically quibble about one statement, namely:
"Australia's fixation with asylum seekers arriving by boat"…?
I do not wish to be included in a group described as 'fixated' with asylum seekers.
I disapprove of the unrelenting xenophobic brouhaha that has caused and accompanied this issue.
I am not the only such person who wishes not to be included among those who are "fixated", in fact I have grounds [see below[ for suspecting I am in the majority of Australians who do not see the issue as constituting a problem, much less a major problem, for this country.
The reality is that the inclusion of the word 'some' would be more accurate eg "Some Australian's fixation with asylum seekers arriving by boat ….".
No need to to paint us all with the same brush.
Over at a Crikey sister site, The Poll Bludger, William Bowe has commented on the release of Nielsen survey numbers on the issue of asylum seekers thusly:
"The Fairfax papers asserted that the poll showed voters "at odds with both Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott and the perception that attitudes have hardened against asylum seekers", and certainly the figures point to a more liberal attitude than the tenor of political debate would suggest …..The number supporting settlement in Australia was nonetheless a very solid 49 per cent …..".
The title of Bowes' article "Of boats and votes" is appropriate.

@ SM - I am gobsmacked!! So you think that the NOT people smugglers are just nice people giving the asylum seekers a ride? Pretty expensive ride at $15,000 - $20,000/person. What planet do you live on? They are part of organised crime syndicates, AND THEY ARE BREAKING AUSTRALIAN LAW. If not, how come they can be arrested, charged, found guilty, do time and be deported back to where they came from? I'm not aware that the Australian Courts are just on some kind of frolic - doing all this when there is no law which says these people have done anything wrong. What a ridiculous statement.
As for this Mr. Al Jenabi, who is currently in the news - why should we make an exception for him? When the government deports a British subject (in his 40's, I think) who has lived in Oz since he was two years old, because he committed a crime etc. etc., what possible reason could they give for changing the rules? And there have been many others in the same situation who have been refused permission to stay in this country. The law should apply to everyone, regardless of the circumstances. I am amazed that you think it should be otherwise, given you quote the law at us all the time.
As I predicted, the hard core are out in force on this thread today. Your suggestion that we should just ignore the law, where asylum seekers are concerned, will just make a reasoned approach to the whole problem a hundred times more difficult.

Global view (the underlying malaise)
In a healthy, vibrant democracy lively debates and a diversity of opinions are essential and should be encouraged. Extremist views however, once aired, must subsequently be subjected to vigorous scrutiny
In our current sick environment of widespread ignorance, intolerance and selfishness only exposure and rigorous curtailing of damaging practices will prevent the destruction of what is left of our civil society.
Example 1: When a person with all the above attributes and a willingness to spread fear and uncertainty in the public in order to gain power must be condemned. A person like that is a disgrace and has no place in a civil society.
Example 2: When a media outlet publishes lies or spreads misinformation, immediate action is warranted to prevent further damage to our already adversely effected national psyche.

Specific view ("asylum seekers")
First: The unconscionable headline seeking media as well as the well known unscrupulous political players need to apply self-censorship and stop exploiting this issue.
Second: Once it is out of the public limelight the government can then close all "detention" centres and provides "processing" facilities on the mainland for health, security and identity check purposes. That's the humane thing to do. Do we have the maturity and the will to do it?

I 'forgot' to mention a lot of things because of space.
That is why I referred to the article itself so people could read all of it.
The essential and salient point however is that not 'all' Australians are fixated with this issue.
That many, 49% in one respect at least, do not see the issue as a major problem.
That the public perception has been coloured by misleading numbers and interpretations eg [from Bowes' article] "which noted that results had been heavily influenced by "the way questions are framed, the kinds of questions that precede these questions (and) the range of possible responses the questions allow" another element I deliberately omitted to mention for reasons of length.
The short of it all is that this issue has been blown up out of all proportion, witness the media barrage that all Australians have been subjected to years yet despite such many, perhaps most Australians and certainly a long long way from all, do not unduly worry about accepting asylum seekers into our country permanently.

No, it is not people smuggling, it has never been people smuggling and whether or not people pay for the transport is zero to do with us.
We are the only country on earth that calls seeking asylum people smuggling and we only started doing it in 2000 under Ruddock.
At every other point in history it was known that refugees are allowed to pay for their transport.
I do wish people would stop listening to the lunatic blather of the ignorant pollies who know they are lying and don't care.
Bowen is still insisting we have to have detention but he doesn't say why.

Most Australians didn't care about boatpeople until LABOR(Yes you read right, LABOR) made it an issue.
How did Labor make it an issue? By making Australia a magnet for people smugglers and boatpeople.
Between 2002-2008 it was a non-issue because the amount of boats were negligible.
Labor wasn't happy with this negligible amount of boats and wanted to make it an issue again by playing around with effective laws which stopped the boats. Now they are whinging that the Coalition is making an issue out of it? Hypocrits!
BTW, the left can't sit there whining that the right are making political points by playing the boatpeople card. We've been listening to the left whinge about Howards boatpeople policies for about 10 Years now and you lot STILL haven't gotten over children overboard(a politician told a lie, build a bridge and GET OVER IT)

Why self-censorship? Because the left can't win this debate on it's merits and we live in a democracy. Thats why.
Most Australians including myself fully support refugee's being allowed into the country and being helped to integrate. Key word there: Refugee. Not people who fly in from Pakistan, burn their ID papers, pay a people smuggler $20K and jump the queue on a leaky boat.
Second: Once it is out of the public limelight the government can then close all "detention" centres and provides "processing" facilities on the mainland for health, security and identity check purposes. That's the humane thing to do. Do we have the maturity and the will to do it?
It will never be out of the limelight while the boats roll in.
If you stop the boats, the issue goes away and no one cares. Before the 2007 election boatpeople was a NON-ISSUE. Why? Because there were no boats.
In 2001 and 2010 boatpeople was a big election issue. Why? Because there were lots of boats.
This issue will never go away for Labor because they are too gutless to take the measures required to put this topic to rest.

Well I liked the look of that Burmese couple and their small child on 7.30 tonight who have taken up residence in Melbourne to begin a new life in Australia. I hope the rest of their family members make it.
They compared very favourable to the afffluent looking people, also in the news, who were shepherded into Christmas Island this afternoon after destroying their passports and shelling out the equivalent of a first class air ticket each before getting on a leaky boat.
34CMLPosted Thursday, 18 August 2011 at 12:27 am | Permalink
@ DH - You have hit the nail on the head! I too saw the Burmese family on 7.30 and thought how good it was to see some folk who have been waiting for years to reach safety, finally make it. And I hope there will be many more. These people have done the right thing - reached Malaysia, applied for refugee status and never contemplated getting on boats (too dangerous for his children, the young father said). They do not need detention in Oz, just a helping hand to get started in their new life. Good on them.
Meanwhile, we have the boat people who think thay are more important than everyone else, have money can travel and don't seem to care about putting their children's lives at risk. If we forget the law for a moment, purely on moral grounds why should we be forced to accept these people over others (in our region) who have been waiting for years? It is all about those who have money it seems - hardly an edifying decision.
@ SM - "The reality is that it is people on the boats who are doing nothing wrong". Of course they are. Consider the fact that these people are buying a passage of very short duration, which in any other circumstance, one would expect to cost a few hundred dollars. It is the illegality of that fare which makes it so expensive, and both the seller and the buyer are culpable. If you were to buy a stolen work of art, knowing it to be stolen, I think you would have difficulty proving you did nothing wrong.
The other argument that is always given by refugee advocates is that boat people are fleeing from persecution etc. etc. Where is the persecution in Malaysia? Of course, they cannot look forward to all the creature comforts there which would be available to them in Oz, and Malaysia is not a signatory to the Refugee Convention. But it always seems to me, that said advocates are saying it is okay for people like the Burmese and others to stay in Malaysia and eke out an existence for years, but it is not okay for anyone who has money. Like all these people from the middle-east. That is totally immoral in my book.
@ RZ - I have no idea what you are talking about. What evidence would you like about what? And what has a passport costing $20,000 in Europe got to do with anything? Sounds like a fake passport to me, and that is also illegal.
35michael crookPosted Thursday, 18 August 2011 at 6:45 am | Permalink
CML, your world view appears somewhat awry.
Malaysia is the country that recently locked up 1600 pro democracy demonstrators and jailed members of the Socilaist Party, including MPs because they "had offended the king".
It also uses the cane to punish people arbitrarily.
I suggest that you get your information from somewhere other than the Australian media.
Our treatment of refugees is illegal under international law, it is also quite pointless as it costs a fortune.
Dont forget too that most of these refugees are fleeing persecution from regimes that we support or from illegal and unjustified wars, that we are fighting on behalf of our American masters.

Like most media comments on refugees it misses the point and the solution entirely. The reason we have no money for hospitals, schools and infrastructure is the billions of dollars we have wasted on our refugee creation policies. According to the UNHCR annual report 4.7 million refugees have come from Iraq and Afganistan which is almost half the worlds population of refugee. It has cost the taxpayers of Australia, Britain & the USA Billions of dollars to blow these countries back to the stoneage in wars based around total lies. After creating Nearly 50% of the worlds refugees we have only accepted 0.6% of them. I have long admired Tony Abbots stance on people taking personal responsibility for their actions. When is he going to take personal responsibility for the refugees that the Government he was part of have created.
Since the second world war we have remaind along with the USA the biggest creator of refugees in the world. We left 5,ooo,ooo dead and countless refugees in vietnam. Then under the Hawke Government we blindly followed the USA in supporting Pol Pot against his own people and created thousands more refugees.
If we don't want refugees the the answer is simple and cost effective. Lets us stop creating them and use our concentration camps to house the war crimals like Hawke and Howard instead of refugees. Ian Bolton Kotupna

David Hand, how do you know that the refugees who were imported under a non-binding voluntary scheme had any frigging papers when they paid "smugglers" to get them from Burma to Malaysia?
The definition of a refugee is a person with a well founded fear of persecution and is outside their own country.
Where does the convention mention not paying for transport, or having money or the rest of the prattle morons like you come up with?
And where does it say they have to have papers to seek asylum? They certainly don't need them under Australian law.

And Michael Crook - How many of the 1600 people who were locked up by the Malaysian authorities were Burmese refugee pro-democracy demonstrators, and socialist party members who had "offended the king"? What a ridiculous thing to say. The only good thing about the so-called Malaysian solution is that we will settle 4,000 Burmese refugees who, before this policy was announced, had zero chance of ever having a life in Australia. I keep asking, and no one is answering, why are the boat people more important than the Burmese and other people who have already been granted refugee status and waited for years in Malaysia? The only obvious answer is that the former have money to pay people smugglers, so are therefore more acceptable than those who have nothing. Not good enough.
I am also quite well educated, thank you Michael. I've been observing the socio/economic/political scene in this country for well over 50 years, so don't try to tell me what to read, watch and say. It would be good if you could just grow up a little, and stop being so infantile!
Marilyn - Why would the Burmese even bother to apply year after year when only a handful of them will ever be successful? They may be many things, but I don't think they are stupid!

I have not ridden much at all this year, in fact I didn't ride a single pedal stroke until this evening (re injured my back and had some personal stuff come up that kept me off of the bikes) and something clicked in me and those short rides mean more to me than I remembered. In 2009 I started riding a bike again as a way to get out there and to keep my weight loss on a roll, a 2 mile ride back then was an accomplishment and leading into last year I was up to 20 plus mile rides and they became my main ride type. Today my wife was home from work early so I took the chance to take a ride around the lake that I live on with my daughter on the trail a bike (her first time riding it) She was very apprehensive about the ride but was game so off we went! we probably did 3 to 4 miles at a not very fast pace and I am not sure if its the long winter of a re-injured back, perhaps just the fact that it was the first time out this year or maybe it just was what it was, a nice ride with my daughter but I enjoyed this ride as much as any that I have taken in the past.
The new wheelset that I put together over the winter rolled awesome and smooth, I am putting my K2 into pavement duty so I got smoother tires (rigid fork is next) and the difference between them and the Kenda Klaw knobby deals I had on there is huge! I do need to adjust the brakes a bit as I really had to squeeze to get them to grip but that's ok, the ride was awesome.
The last shot is across the lake as the sun started setting, I think my motto for 2012 is going to be to enjoy the smaller stuff from on top of my bikes and I think shooting for a lot more of these short not so intense rides will be on the menu this year.
I really don't have a reason for this thread other than to say, enjoy the little stuff too when you're out on the bikes guys and gals because this short slow ride was just as awesome as any of my longer rides from the past.
oh! and my daughter said to me "we are going on a longer ride tomorrow right dad?" how can I say no to that?
That is all

John McCain is starting to look like the candidate to beat for the GOP nomination. Not long ago, he was dismissed, unable to compete with Rudy Giuliani's star power. But with New Hampshire, the tortoise has overtaken the hare.
If McCain wins Michigan on Tuesday (as he did in 2000), Rudy may find himself so far behind before he starts to run that he can never catch up.
McCain could even beat Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. His record taps into a latent populism that attracts Republicans, Democrats and Independents. His battle against big tobacco, efforts to address global warming, opposition to torture during interrogations and fight to reform corporate governance and to protect investors and pensioners appeal to voters of all stripes.
His issues cut across party and ideological lines, for an attraction far broader than the single notes sung by the evangelical Mike Huckabee and the anti-terror Giuliani. His heroism is apparent and his independence from special interests notable. He's pro-life and suitably conservative on social issues, so he attracts conservatives as well as moderates. And his credentials on terrorism and other national-security issues are outstanding.
He's got two main obstacles to overcome: his support for amnesty for illegal immigrants and his age.
* McCain denies that he backed amnesty (citing the fines that illegals would've had to pay to regularize their status under his bill), but conservatives have pinned the label on him so indelibly that it's unlikely to come off no matter how hard he scrubs.
Ultimately, though, he can likely transcend the nativist vote and appeal to the broad spectrum of Republicans. Polls indicate that nobody really believes it is feasible to deport 11 million people back to their home nations. If we can't do that, they'll linger on our streets and in our fields forever, as illegal tomorrow as they are today, unless we move to meet them halfway.
The Pat Buchanans of the world will split their votes between Mitt Romney and Huckabee, so this negative is not likely to prove any more lethal in Michigan, New York or California than it was in New Hampshire.
* His age is a bigger problem. The New Hampshire and Iowa contests were animated by record turnouts. One Granite State voter in five had never voted before in a primary. (Obama carried them by 20 points.) An incredible 11 percent of voters were under 24. (Obama won them, 3 to 1.) With young people storming the polls, a 71-year-old candidate labors under a huge handicap.
But consider his competition: Giuliani, who draws from the same well, has squandered his early lead in what can only be described as a determined passivity. Fred Thompson is also catatonic.

The Original pirate.
Awesome work, sexy and badass
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!!"
I'm torn between the gun and her as my favorite part of this picture. Both are just awesome.
Hot pic, but what a great sense of depth of field! Well done.
Original character?
Amaizing thanks for sharing
pirates are always awesome!
My kind of pirate.
So nice
Nothing like a sexy pirate captain! Her outfit is great, her gun looks awesome and she has a killer body.
This incredible, is beautiful, an extraordinary job
Whenever I feel sad, I know that if I look at her boobs I will feel good again
very cute
Very nice coloring !
very very awesome! love it
Ah.........Hoooyyyy! Captain.
And this is why i love Pirates
I have to admit I glanced at the thumbnail and thought it was a custom outfit for Noel from Blazblue.
Whoa smoking hot and nice big boobs!
The difference between good artists and bad artists is perspective. Makes things look so much better.
So epic~
Captain giant boobs! xD I like how you painted the shadows end the rare gun overall
Very cool. Great pose.
"Oh Captain, my Captain!"

I have several machines.

I tried your solution, found an error in Keychain that was repaired, but the problem continues.
It is also happening on my iPod, and only with Safari.
The problem started last night, and it happens on a majority of websites (including this discussion forum), where a popup warns me that the certificate for the site invalid while trying to connect to "s-static.ak.facebook.com" or other sites that I never use.
I tried deleting apple security preferences, cleaning up some certificates, removing cookies for facebook. Nothing helps. The fact that it is happening so broadly (many users based on current Safari discussions), on all sorts of devices makes me think it is some type of malware or security problem with Safari.
WildBill Oct 24, 2012 12:24 PM
in response to canucksgirl01
Actually, this doesn't fix it. I'm still having it appear in Safari.
canucksgirl01 Oct 24, 2012 12:36 PM
in response to bruxxx
bruxxx, S. G., and WildBill,
Can you give me more info about the certificate error? Is it the same "static.ak.facebook.com" cert?
Can you post a screenshot of the certificate message (expanded to include the details)?
Which OS X version are you still having the problem with? (important)
In the mean time, also double check your date & time settings. Certificates are set up to be 'valid' within a certain time frame (ie.: June 2004 - Dec 2015). If you accidentally set the date/time to an incorrect date/time, you can end up getting incessant errors for invalid or expired certificates (because Safari looks at your system date). I find keeping the checkbox for "set date and time automatically" selected helps avoid this annoying issue.
WildBill Oct 24, 2012 12:46 PM
in response to canucksgirl01
I'm on 10.8.2. Already checked date and time settings, which were as they should be.
Found a possible fix for this on quora.com:
http://www.quora.com/Akamai-Technologies-Inc/What-is-this-error-message-that-Saf ari-cant-verify-the-identity-of-the-website-static-ak-facebook-com
I have removed only the com.apple.security.plist file although I also have the
com.apple.security.revocation.plist file that he mentions.
Too early to say if this fixes it. I'll post back.
S. G. Oct 24, 2012 12:49 PM
in response to canucksgirl01
My iPod is still acting up and gives the error "Cannot Verify Server Identity" for static.ak.facebook.com. The iPod is running OS5.1 and happens is only with Safari. I have no problem with time, and obviously, there is no keychain.
Quite a few sites trigger this certificate problem (NYTimes, Apple Discussions, Macrumours.com...). It is probably due to the ubiquitous "Like" button from Facebook. I have never used facebook however.
The sites that it tries to verify the identity of are either facebook, akamai, or others I cannot remember. They are not always "static.ak.facebook.com". If I say "Continue" rather than "Cancel", I am transferred to some gibberish site, not necessarily facebook related.
I will check my laptop tonight that still had problems (even after deleting security preferences). Firefox is unaffected. Other discussions seem to say that the problem eventually corrects itself, and that it is due to Facebook somehow implanting cookies on Safari even the latter is set to accept none.

Hey WildBill,
In Mountain Lion, there is a bit of a quirk (if I can use that term) with certificates. You were definitely on the right track with the link you provided, but here is some more information about it and how you can fix it on ML.
Let me know if it works for you... (it seems to be the fix for ML).
WildBill Oct 24, 2012 2:02 PM
in response to canucksgirl01
Hi canucksgirl,
Thanks for sharing the fruits of your investigation with us all here! I went to the link provided and deleted the requisite files. I did not find any certificates in Keychain Access with a blue +, so I'll let you know if it was enough to delete the aforementioned .plist files and rebuild the two caches.
I wanted to give you a "This helped me" but that option wasn't open to me?
canucksgirl01 Oct 24, 2012 2:04 PM
in response to S. G. Solved
Here is the LATEST UPDATE:
The Akamai Network (the hosting service for many websites like Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter) which uses the a248.e.akamai.net URL (in this case for Facebook), has FINALLY become aware of this issue and is pushing out the fix as I type...
For everyone who was able to go through the KeyChain First Aid process (described above in the start of this thread) has been able to correct the problem already. For everyone else, the "fix" may take some time to populate over ALL the websites that are affected (i.e. millions...) so, you may have to be patient. I don't have specific help available for all iOS devices, but the update from Akamai will correct this problem.
*** Just be aware that websites have different schedules for when they push out updates. Some do this once a day, but others can do this as infrequently as once a week (depends on the website you're having trouble with).
S. G. Oct 24, 2012 2:08 PM
in response to canucksgirl01
Thank you for this update. I was starting to worry about malware, as I have also noticed some strange blips of activity from Java asking me to approve an incoming connection and disappearing right away before I can click it - probably unrelated. It is scary to see how one company can mess up millions of websites.
canucksgirl01 Oct 24, 2012 2:21 PM
in response to WildBill
Thanks WildBill,
It would be nice to know if this worked for you.
Apparently my user Level is too low to post this as a User Tip, so I had to post this in the form of a discussion question, so the options for "This helped me" and "This solved my question" appear to me only... Unfortunately, posting this help topic won't improve my points or Level as a result, but I felt that posting this fix topic separately was better than continuing to post the answer in other threads (as the OP's aren't always selecting the appropriate button, and my posts are getting buried in all the pages). ~ I just wanted to get the word out (one way or another), as I know how annoying it is to be stuck with a problem and can't find the solution.
WildBill Oct 24, 2012 2:25 PM
in response to canucksgirl01
I'll definitely let you know.
That's too bad, you should get some well-earned points out of this. Your participation and your selfless desire to help others is what makes these forums special.

I wanted to add this information, because I don't want people out there to get the false impression that certificate issues are always safe. In most cases they aren't about anything malicious, and "for the most part", we are safe...
BUT, there ARE new threats popping up all the time that CAN affect you; such as "Morphing Flashback Malware", which makes some certificates, and updates (like an Adobe Flash Player update) etc appear "safe", when they are anything but.
For those who would like to learn more about this potential threat, please read the following:
Break in the SSL Chain of Trust Prompts Security Updates
Apple Releases Update to Remove Flashback Trojan (affecting some 600,000+ Macs)
Beware the Morphing Flashback Malware
Bottom line is, threats out there exist.
** PLEASE, make sure you keep your OS and iOS devices up to date!
** Install Anti Virus Software for Macs. I recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Macs, its free, its what I use, (and its found and destroyed a couple trojans on my Mac already)... but there are other programs out there that you can use. (Just do your research first!)

The settings are blank. There is no form there.
Also, can't set the width to 100%, like when the widget is setup on RN and fit does not work. The width stays stuck at 398.
EDIT: For fit to work you have to use fit='1'.
OK, never mind the width to 100%. Everything, aside from the settings, the plugin works very well if you use 1/0 instead of true/false. I did hack the code to add the press widget, but I got the same results as trying other methods of adding the press widget: src is stripped out. I am going to continue to try to figure out why the press widget isn't working. If I do figure it out I will post something here.
There are no "extra" settings to the plugin -- all settings are controlled via the shortcodes and the Visual Editor dialogue.
The decision to use 1/0 over true/false was simply for brevity -- both on the shortcode side as well as under the hood; just keeping the shortcode (and underlying logic) as succinct as possible.
Thanks for posting back that you'd worked out the solution.
Thanks for the reply. I think it has true/false in your examples, which is why I tried that. Anyhow, it's a fine plugin and even though not many people have a need for it, it is well worth it for those of us who do.
You're right about the true/false in the docs; I checked the docs right after I found your post and they have been corrected to reflect the 1/0 instead -- thanks for pointing this out. It was a mid-way design change that didn't make it into the docs (until now) -- good eye!
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Pete Wentz Goes Christmas Shopping With Bronx and Meagan Camper! (Photos)Shana Aborn
Well, it's not exactly a trip through the mall with a child in Christmasy plaids and taffeta, but Pete Wentz still enjoyed a holiday shopping jaunt yesterday with his son and girlfriend.
Cameras caught the rocker with his 4-year-old son, Bronx Mowgli, and his girlfriend of more than a year, Meagan Camper, as they strolled around The Grove, a popular destination among the West Coast celeb set.
They picked up a few small items – at least, that's what we surmise from the bags they carried – while Bronx followed behind and at one point asked his dad to carry him for a while.
Both father and son were dressed for a casual day in black hoodies, jeans and sneakers. Meagan's red hat was the one burst of welcome color in this trio.
Happily, Ashlee Simpson is totally cool with her ex-husband's new relationship; the three have been spotted hanging out together in recent months.
But the burning question of the day, of course, is: Did he buy a baby gift for his ex-sister-in-law, Jessica Simpson, who's rumored to be expecting her second baby in less than two years?
Check out the photos here!
Just too cool 1 of 5He may be just 4-years-old, but young Bronx already has a style and a confidence most people would envy.
No falling out 2 of 5Pete and Meagan have been going strong for more than a year — and it looks like Bronx is happy with his dad's girlfriend, too.
Big footsteps to fill 3 of 5Bronx seems to be trying to follow his dad's stride.
Up we go! 4 of 5There's nothing like getting a lift from Dad.
What's in the bag? 5 of 5Pete may not have bought a lot of gifts, but in L.A., odds are that his purchases were still pretty generous.

Adventurers are part of the Brotherhood of Gilgamesh, an ancient organization the world doesn't want to admit exists, fighting a war no one else believes in. Dangerous, grim and able to seamlessly incorporate just about any horror mythos, book or movie, Code:Black is a struggle for survival and soul, both for humanity as a whole and for each individual who takes part in the secret war. Download a sample here.
EABA Code:Black v1.0 (US$12.00)
In 1982, something happened in Brecken Ridge, WV. Something so terrible that the world didn't want to know about it. So terrible that the survivors didn't want to be reminded of it. Even most Brotherhood agents do not have clearance to know about the town and what transpired there twenty-five years ago. The world forgot Brecken Ridge. All but a handful of the survivors moved away and never talked about it to anyone. They didn't want to remember, and no one else wanted to know. A small industrial town of 20,000 souls for all practical purposes, vanished.
But just as the Blind are not the least bit curious about the overgrown, blocked off exit on Route 219, the Sighted and Evils who get too close are inexplicably drawn towards the deserted town. And like moths drawn to a flame, they can get burned.
Brecken Ridge is a unique campaign location for Code:Black, a 20-page setting with history, NPC's, a short adventure, a long-term plot and detail about the small Brotherhood outpost that stands a lonely vigil over the town the world forgot.

Our Mississippi State beat writer Brad Locke and I had Ole Miss defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix on as a guest for this morning's taping of "The Sports Zone."
If you're in or around greater Northeast Mississippi at 5 p.m., you should be able to catch it. It airs on WAJS-FM (91.7) and WAQB-FM (90.9).
A few highlights from Nix. …
– He reiterated the fact that he expects incoming freshman linebacker C.J. Johnson to play, but he is high on sophomore Mike Marry at middle linebacker, which is where Johnson, the state's top recruit, played at Philadelphia.
It will be interesting to see if Johnson steps in at middle or another spot.
– He likes his linebackers as a group – it's the position he coaches – and believes they can overcome the loss of D.T. Shackelford and be a productive group. He singled out Clarence Jackson and Ralph Williams for their work in the spring.
– He's very excited to have DE Kentrell Lockett back and believes Lockett can regain his 2009 form.
– He remains high on juco transfer Wesley Pendleton in the secondary. Pendleton is very fast, and the Rebels certainly needed more speed back there. Pendelton wasn't heavily recruited out of Co-Lin CC, but Nix feels he's a guy who can make an imapct at corner.
– He sees Carlton Martin and Bryon Bennett, both redshirt freshmen from Madison Central, as starters at the interior defensive line spots. They are quick and athletic, and both made plays during the spring, though Martin's spring ended early with a concussion. How physical they will be remains to be seen. Nix said you really can't answer that question until they've played a handful of SEC games.
