The text of this picture book for older children is a paean to Shange's family home and the exciting men who gathered there, everyone from W. E. B. DuBois and Paul Robeson to Dizzy Gillispie and Duke Ellington. Taken from Shange's 1983 poem "Mood Indigo," the words here recall, from a child's perspective, what it was like to listen "in the company of men / politics as necessary as collards / music even in our dreams." The evocative words are more than matched by Nelson's thrilling, oversize oil paintings, a cross between family photo album and stage set, featuring this group of extraordinary men interacting--playing cards, singing, discussing. The girl who is always watching them is, unfortunately, portrayed as very young, perhaps three or four, although she appears somewhat older on the beguiling jacket art. Preschoolers are not the audience for this, and despite the helpful notes that introduce the men mentioned in the poem, even older children will need further explanations (e.g., where are the famous women?). Depicting the narrator as a child closer in age to the target audience would have helped bridge the gap between a poem written for adults and a book for children. Still, with words and pictures that are so enticing, this will be embraced by many. Category: Books for Middle Readers--Nonfiction. 2004, Simon & Schuster, $15.95. Gr. 3-5.

Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz (Children's Literature)
The text of Shange's emotion-packed free verse is spread, a line or two, across the tall double pages. It is rich with the memories of a Harlem childhood, warm with family love, and filled with encounters with men of vision "who changed the world," such as Paul Robeson, W.E.B.Dubois, "Dizzy" Gillespie, and Duke Ellington. All those mentioned appear at the end with small portraits and descriptions of who they were. Naturalistic oil paintings, almost like a family album of color photographs, record the details of rooms and the people in them; a posed group shot of 30 friendly people adds specific vitality to the text's more general memories. The final full-length portrait of Ellington is stunning in its elegant directness, illuminating the man's gentle spirituality. 2004 (orig. 1983), Simon & Schuister Books for Young Readers, $15.95. Ages 8 up.

Ntozake Shange s 1983 poem Mood Indigo, which she wrote as a tribute to many of the Black American men who changed the world, is the text of a powerful picture book stunningly illustrated by Kadir Nelson. Shange s poem references Mood Indigo as the title of a song by Duke Ellington, who, along with musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie and Paul Robeson, move in and out of the home of the poem s narrator a young woman looking back on her childhood. Other visitors include W.E.B. DuBois, Virgil Honey Bear Akins and President Kwame Nkurmah of Ghana. The poem speaks to the cultural and social history of African Americans as well as continuing struggles: politics as necessary as collards, sonny til was not a boy , virgil akins was not the only fighter, our windows were not cement or steel. Nelson s full-page portraits of the men conversing and interacting with one another, watched by the young girl, provide an elegant visual narrative. Each painting is beautifully composed and balanced, full of vibrant, dignified individuals. Brief biographical information about each individual referenced in the text is provided on the final two pages in a book that is an enriching encounter with history, art, and poetry.

Kirkus (Kirkus Reviews, November 15, 2003 (Vol. 71, No. 22))
Deeply colored paintings enrich this homage to African-American men who made history and influenced culture, including Duke Ellington, Paul Robeson, Dizzy Gillespie, and W.E.B. DuBois. Nelson's setting is a home, filled with the folks who made it happen, as observed by a small girl whose presence, greeting the guests or peeking around the corners, adds the child's point of view. The poetic text is spare, with only a few words on each spread, but they match the majesty of the scene. Children will need context to understand the brief lines, and happily, an author's note provides it. In bell hooks style, none of the lines or names are capitalized, nor do they have punctuation. Intended for children today who know these names as commemorative plaques on buildings or streets, the deceptively simple text reveals the feel of the Harlem Renaissance: "Politics as necessary as collards, music even in our dreams." A tribute to what these men did for African-Americans, indeed all Americans, is soulfully and succinctly stated: "Our doors opened like our daddy's arms, held us safe and loved."

Elizabeth Bush (The Bulletin of the Center for Children s Books, March 2004 (Vol. 57, No. 7))
Shange s poem "Mood Indigo," an adult recollection of a childhood spent "in the company of men/ who changed the world," receives a literal treatment through illustrations that follow a demure little girl who nonchalantly interacts with the mid-twentieth-century African-American luminaries who visit her father. As a freestanding poem addressed to adults, the text is charged with sadness over the passage of a long generation of achievers from activity into memory, and with barely suppressed anger over the shuttering of segments of the African-American community though fear and demographic change. Once "Ellington was not a street," but a vibrant artist, and Shange/narrator remembers when "our windows were not cement or steel/ our doors opened like our daddy s arms/ held us safe & loved." Snaring and caging intense emotions within a picture-book framework brings the poem to young children s attention, but the result is problematic: though the pictures are luminous, they limit and constrict the poem, and the featured little girl is too young to capture the interest of those readers old enough to begin to grasp the text s implications. If the audience does not (or, more likely, cannot) share Shange s grasp of community evolution, they must be forgiven for simply puzzling over who this little girl is and how her father came to preside over so impressive a salon. Nelson s domestic scenes are, to be sure, carefully crafted. Opposite the title page, a young lady on a piano bench clutches an old LP; her pensive gaze follows the trajectory of the grand piano lid that bisects a painting of (presumably) Ellington s orchestra. A later scene of a house party, viewed looking in from streetside, packs an easy-moving, spirited crowd of affectionately caricatured guests into a tight space of precisely centered, bourgeois propriety. A spread of biographical notes introduces these A-list members, but without sufficient historical background, children may unfortunately regard this as little more than an illustrated list of names to know.

It hasn't always been this way/ Ellington was not a street." To the backdrop of Ellington's "Mood Indigo," with all the static of a record on a record player, the listener is treated to the poetry of visitors through the author's house. Rashad's voice is gentle, yet firm. Her drawn-out pauses heighten the mysteriousness and import of each guest. Now, open the book and listen along while Kadir Nelson's majestic artwork expands the experience. An additional expansion comes when reading the end notes which, unfortunately, are not included in the recording. A.R.

Sharon Salluzzo (Children's Literature)
With his music playing in the background, this video begins with a close-up of an old RCA Victor LP recording of Mood Indigo by Duke Ellington and his famous orchestra. Shange s award winning ode to 20th century African-American men who changed the world is narrated by Phylicia Rashad. The second half of the video takes a closer look at the lives of some of these men. The iconography draws upon Nelson s illustrations for the book of the same name published in 2004. Various angles and zooming in and out provide interest and focus for the viewer. As each individual is introduced in the second half, the viewer is shown Nelson s drawing of the person and then actual photographs are presented. For the musicians, excerpts of their music are played. The warm and proud feelings expressed by the little girl in the book are carried through in the video and make this appropriate for younger audiences. Older viewers will find the additional biographical information on Duke Ellington, Paul Robeson, W.E.B. duBois, Virgil Akins, Sonny Til, and others to be quite interesting. Total video time is 12 minutes. Weston Woods provides suggested activities for this closed-captioned, public performance videocassette. Also available as a DVD. 2005, Weston Woods/Scholastic, $60.00. Ages 5 to 12.

text: Considering [itex]d=2[/itex] or [itex]d=3[/itex], the Ising model exhibits a second order phase transition at the critical temperature [itex]T_c[/itex], where the system goes from an ordered phase (spins preferably aligned in a certain direction) to a disordered one. This is reflected by the behaviour of the susceptibility, similar to a Dirac delta in [itex]T_c[/itex]; and, being the susceptibility a second order derivative of the free energy, we talk about second order phase transition. Let's pass to the specific heat. Experimental results show that in [itex]T_c[/itex] also the specific heat has a Dirac delta beaviour, for both [itex]d=2[/itex] and [itex]d=3[/itex]; the literature usually says that [itex]C(T) \sim |T_c-T|^{-\alpha}[/itex], with [itex]\alpha=0[/itex] for [itex]d=2[/itex] and [itex]\alpha\sim 0.11[/itex] for [itex]d=3[/itex]. Now, my questions are: - Why [itex]\alpha=0[/itex] for [itex]d=2[/itex], if numerical results show a Dirac delta behaviour? And, if this divergence really exists, I guess that we can't talk of first order transition, being the specific heat a first derivative of energy (and not of free energy). Am I right? - When does the Ising model exhibits a first order phase transition? I've read that in presence of an external magnetic field the magnetization can show a "jump", and hence a first order transition. Is this true?

Review: Although we arrived after they had stopped serving lunch, they cheerfully accommodated us with a delicious vegetable tart, salad and chocolate cake for dessert. We were so pleased with the quality of the food and the warmth of our reception that we returned for lunch a few days later. We highly recommend this restaurant. Only open for lunch.

To support groundsmen, the following cricket grounds maintenance calendar has been supplied courtesy of Pitchcare.
This calendar should be used as a guide only
As a new year begins, it is perhaps a good time to reflect on what you have achieved last year, and then plan what you want to achieve in the coming year. Keeping records and monitoring the performance of your turf facility should be encouraged. How can we be expected to know how to improve the condition of the sward if we do not recognise or understand its current state?
Many greens will have suffered as a consequence of the recent poor weather and changing soil and air temperatures. Grass growth will slow if temperatures remain below 5 degrees Celsius. Also, the recent snow cover may have incubated and promoted an outbreak of fusarium or snow mold disease. Depending on its severity, it will probably need a dose of fungicide to keep it under control.
Many greens have taken a battering from the recent poor weather, especially those who suffered long periods of snow cover, after which they suffered from various degrees of disease damage.
April sees the start of the new bowling season with many bowlers desperate to get on the greens and get some much-needed practice and matches. Green speeds are likely to be slow to start with due to the fact that many greens are wet, lush and bumpy.
With April being one of the driest and warmest on record , it comes as no surprise that may clubs are desperate for some rain, particularly those with little or no adequate watering facilities.
It has been a tough couple of months for many bowls clubs, with greenkeepers struggling to keep their greens watered due to the prolonged dry period, coupled with drying winds. As fast as water went on, it evaporated from the surface.
July will be a busy month for bowling clubs; there is usually a high demand for play, with many clubs involved in domestic competitions. Greens could well be in play on a daily basis. Coupled with the long daylight hours and warm temperatures, grass growth will be quite prolific, if there is plenty of moisture about.
It would seem the weather front has finally changed, for the better in terms of promoting grass growth on your bowling greens. The recent downpours have replenished the greens adequately to stimulate some much needed growth. Many greens will benefit from a feed during these conditions, as the moisture will activate any granular applied fertiliser products.
The weather this year has been quite challenging, the dry spring set the scene for what was going to be a tough year for greens maintenance. There has been a lot of dry patch on many greens, especially crown greens where water runoff is more prevalent. Clubs with adequate watering facilities will not have suffered too badly; however, clubs with limited water resources will have struggled to control the problem and may be faced with having large areas of dead grass on their greens.
There is no such thing as putting the green to bed and forgetting about it until the spring. It is important to keep the sward cut (topped) at between 10-12mm and carry out regular aeration and brushing to keep the surface clean and open to the elements. A dose of liquid iron would not go amiss, this helps harden the grass plant and maintain some colour.
Up to the last week in November, many parts of the country where still experiencing spells of mild weather, soil and air temperatures in double figures, with grass still growing. This mild weather was also exacerbating a lot of fungal disease, with outbreaks of fusarium and red thread causing the most concerns.
Ideally, end of season renovations should have been completed by now, making good use of the favourable weather conditions. However, we still see a number of clubs playing late on to the end of September. For many clubs who do not have adequate watering facilities, the recent dry weather has had a detrimental effect on their greens in terms of them drying out.

I took my DD to the pediatrician & her weight is now 12 pounds 7 ounces. She's 3 months old now. The babysitter was over feeding her so now instead of sending breastmilk & formula to last, I have to put it in containers with feeding times. Her doctor wasn't concerned, but happy & just wanted to play with her because she heard about everything we both went through while I was in the hospital & what happened while she was in the nicu. Still considering seeking legal action against the hospital.
She's a chunky lil one

Pneumonia bacteria resistant to antibiotics found
By Kim Se-jeong
A Korean medical team has discovered a new strain of Streptococcus Pneumoniae (S. pneumonia) that is resistant to antibiotics.
According to team leader doctor Kang Cheol-in of Samsung Medical Center, Wednesday, the bacterial strain was found in five elderly patients treated for pneumonia between 2011 and 2012.
The strain was resistant to eight antibiotics commonly used to treat pneumonia patients, Kang said.
The finding was published in the May edition of the journal "Emerging Infectious Disease," published by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Among the 510 S. pneumoniae islolates (319 in 2011 and 191 in 2012), we identified 5 XDR (extensively drug-resistant) pneumococcal isolates from five patients," the article states.
Penicillin, cephalosporins, macrolides, tetracyclines and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are among the eight antibiotics.
Three patients were infected in nursing homes and two in residential care centers for the elderly. The average age of the patients was 71.8, hinting that the number of elderly patients with the bacteria could be higher.
S. pneumoniae is one of the most common pathogens that cause pneumonia.
"Bacteria grow resistant to antibiotics over time. What is new is that S. pneumoniae was found to be resistant to eight, not three to four, which is average," Kang said.
One patient died a week after being hospitalized, showed the antibiotics did not attack the disease.
The new finding is raising red flags on antibiotic abuse.
"Antibacterial drugs should be used judiciously," the authors mentioned in the journal.
According to local statistics, in 2002, 74 percent of patients suffering from colds were given antibiotic prescriptions. This decreased to 44 percent in 2013, but prescribing antibiotics is still common.
The new finding also raises concerns about the management of older pneumonia patients.
In 2002, 5.6 people out of 100,000 died of pneumonia, but the number rose to 20.5 in 2012.

Digitimes Research: Global sapphire capacity to remain unchanged in 2014
Jessie Lin, DIGITIMES Research, Taipei [Thursday 10 April 2014]
Global leaders in the sapphire industry, in attempts to return to profits from losses incurred in 2012-2013, will focus on increasing utilization rates rather than expand capacities in 2014. Therefore, the global sapphire capacity in 2014 will be approximately the same as that in 2013, Digitimes Research estimates.
Korea-based STC is the globally largest sapphire maker with a monthly capacity of 1.37 million mm, followed by US-based Rubicon Technology and Russia-based Monocrystal (each with one million mm), China-based Harbin Aurora Optoelectronics Technology (500,000-600,000mm), Taiwan-based USI Optronics (400,000-500,000mm) and Taiwan-based Tera Xtal Technology (200,000mm), according to Digitimes Research.

These sturdy folding pet ramps make access into vehicles or other high areas safe and easy for your pet. The ramp features a grip tape surface for superb traction in any weather. The folding design with a carrying handle and securing straps lets you easily store and transport the ramp. Available in three sizes.
These portable dog truck ramps fold in half and are made entirely out of aluminum, allowing them to be extra lightweight for easy storage and transport. The dog ramps are available in three different lengths to accommodate almost any size dog or pet!
Exclusively from Discount Ramps, these folding pet ramps are some of the strongest and sturdiest on the market today! Each pet ramp is manufactured from aluminum with heavy duty hinges, allowing the ramps to hold dogs and other animals weighing up to 250 lbs. The dog ramp features a grip tape surface platform for superb traction in any weather for almost any pet. These folding ramps are available in three lengths to accommodate any dog or pet. They have a usable width of 15" and a 2-3/4" attaching lip on the top of the dog ramp, making them great dog ramps for trucks, cars, or SUVs. These lightweight dog ramps also feature a carrying handle and a strap mounted on the ramps so it can be strapped together in the closed position for easy transport and storage when not in use.
Finally a dog ramp that will last. Other ramps at the same price using plastic material with sliding extensions warp over a year. This ramp is made to last. Sturdy but lightweight. Great ease of use and paw friendly. This ramp will save my back and alleviate the stress and pain on the dogs jumping in and out of the car. I'm super pleased!
My wife and I had been looking for a dog ramp to make it easier for her to load our two labs in the truck for their vet visits. We selected the DR-07 aluminum dog ramp based on the posted description. It was spot on. At 19 pounds my wife can easily maneuver the ramp into position for our dog's use, then fold it for transport or storage. The non-slip surface allowed our dog's to master the ramp with ease. Our female was first, but at 65 pounds she had an advantage over our 111 pound male. This is a high quality dog ramp which should give us many years of service. The only reason I gave this product a 4 instead of a 5 is because I would prefer it be 6 inches wider, but of course our male is an extra large dog.
We just love our new dog ramp! We purchased it with grant money for our SAR K-9 Team from Puget Sound Energy Foundation Grant. Discount Ramps for your speedy and professional service is superb and of course another outstanding product! Our K-9 Tic has been walking 2 miles on a treadmill everyday and without any hesitation climbed right up on this Lucky Dog Ramp the grip coating on it is wonderful as well! From South Puget Sound Mobile Search and Rescue Captain and K-9 Team we thank you!
Perfect for what we were looking for!! We needed a pet ramp long enough for our dogs to get into the bed of the truck and our truck has a 4" lift on it. The dogs love riding in the back with the camper shell and bed rug. Great product and easy to store!!
Definitely what I was looking for. It looks like it is well made. Lightweight and durable. Makes my life easier than lifting my 90 lb. arthritic Collie into my SUV.
I'm a musician who found another use for this ramp. I'm using it to load up a couple QSC K-Subs speakers into my minivan. I bought the 6' extra wide ramp. This ramp is also perfect for heavy tube guitar and bass amps. Very well constructed and light weight to carry. I looked at several brands and companies before I decided on discount ramps. I so glad I did. Very quick shipping and arrived in perfect condition. Thanks again for a quality product. It's saving my back.
Our 9 year old Siberian Husky recently tore her ACL doing her "happy dance" for the neighbor lady that gives her treats. At first I picked her up and took her outside and back inside, as well as in the vehicle and out of the vehicle to her doctors appointment. She is very independent and active and not one to be confined, in fear of doing more damage than good picking her up I looked to making her a ramp to get in and out of the house. I wanted something portable so that it could be used for the house as well as the vehicle. After contemplation of materials, weathering etc I decided to look to google for answers. It may sound like I am on the payroll however the first site that caught my eye was Discount Ramp because of the aluminum ramp. Being aluminum it solved most of the criteria for the ramp I wanted being: 'weathering' as well as 'portable' for the vehicle and house. Since buying the ramp about 2 weeks ago we are continuing to acclimate her to use it more. She is very independent and still not real sure of it, however with the non-skid tread and training her 'its a good thing' she is coming around. I can't say that there is any dislikes of the product, it's the perfect size (8ft), light weight / portable and fits the needs for what I was looking for. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to make life a little easier for their long term companion(s).
I bought this ramp for our 91 pounds Lab to be able to get into our Jeep. It appears this will work very well and prevent me from lifting weights I should not lift. I have already recommended it to friends whom are looking for like ramps.
We ordered this 6 ft ramp for our old red healer who is having problems jumping up into our truck, we have a travel trailer in which he isn't able to get into anymore so we got this wonderful ramp in which he is able to just walk up into the truck or trailer. This is the best and so perfect for our Rusty. We take him everywhere we go and now he's a happy camper. Thank you so much
Shopped all over looking for a light weight pet ramp long enough for my truck and would fold. This ramp is the best we had found and once it arrived, it has lived up to the advertising. Both our dogs are 12 years old, a Yorky and a Husky. They took right to the ramp. It folds and stores easily in the pickup, seems very safe in place. Would highly recommend this to anyone not wanting to lift a Husky (the Yorky is no problem).
Our German Shepherd is almost 12 and can no longer get in and out of our truck due to aging hips. We were lifting his 100 pound body every time but that was getting tough on him and our backs. We wanted a ramp that was long enough that would work with our truck and not be too steep of an incline. We ordered this ramp and were pleasantly surprised at how light it was and the sturdiness. It took a little time to get our older dog used to it but he is getting better. Our younger dog is able to use it as well. We really like how light it is and the handle is super convenient. The only thing we wish is that it was a little wider.
likes- perfect size for use and transport, not too heavy or bulky, sturdy, great non slip traction even when wet. my dog adjusted to it right away, no training to speak of involved!!!!! dislikes- sharp corners, be careful with car upholstery, the hinge bolts for tightness upon receiving. mine were not properly torqued on the nonslip nuts. again other than that great. saves my dogs legs and back jumping in and out of full size SUV, and my back from having to lift an 85# dog in and out. highly recommend it!
We purchased for our Golden Retriever. She recently hurt her leg. The leg is healed but we felt like the stress on her legs when jumping into and out of our SUV was putting undo stress on her legs. We ordered the ramp on Tues and it arrived on Friday. The ramp is light and easy to use. Although at first hesitant within 5 minutes our Golden had no problem using it. The only small negative is the lip that goes into the car is somewhat sharp. In an abundance of caution we put a towel under the lip. We are very happy with the product.
I bought this ramp for my Corgi puppy, Tucker, because his legs are too short to go down our deck stairs to the stone patio below. Tucker is getting a little too heavy to keep carrying down the stairs, but I want to protect his spine and joints. This ramp is great. It's lightweight, so I can carry it myself, but is very sturdy. I was able to walk on it with Tucker, and it didn't feel wobbly. The only thing I would like is for the company to offer a longer ramp than 96". Tucker is able to navigate the ramp just fine, but the angle is pretty steep due to the height of our deck to the patio. This was the longest ramp I found, and I am very happy with it.
I like the cleanness of the design and the quality of the material. The ramp is easy to use and my German Shepherd went right to it into the back of my truck. before the ramp she was too heavy for me to lift her into the truck. Love this product.
I bought this ramp for my 2 Black Russian Terriers. These dogs can weight up to 150 lbs when matured. This was the only ramp I found that can accomodate up to 250 lbs. Awesome product. Sturdy. Durable. And very easy to set up and store in truck.
The DR-07 dog ramp ordered from DiscountRamps.com is excellent, sturdy, lightweight, and easy to set up and use. I would give the ramp 5 stars if it had a rubber coating or other protective surface over the "lip" of the ramp - at the top end, where it will come in contact with the car. It works fine on my truck, where the top of the tailgate is covered with plastic, but on my sedan, it would scratch (so I will make the modification myself). Other than that, this is a perfect ramp for my dogs (Border Collies) to get into my 4x4 truck, and especially - for getting out, where they otherwise put a strain on their wrists when they jump down. Of course they can do it, but I prefer to keep them healthy!
this aluminum folding ramp has changed our transport lives for my dogs . It is safe, easy to use, folds and slides into the back of my jeep no problem . I love the non-slip surface.i use my two dogs in Pet Therapy so we go every day . My Great Dane has no trouble getting in and out of my Jeep now .... I love it .

Julie Bosman of the New York Times came up with a much better description of Mrs. Munro's talent than the generic, almost perfunctory praise from the Swedish Academy, which chooses each year's laureate for literature. It cited her as "master of the contemporary short story." Which is like describing Rembrandt as an accomplished painter in his time. Julie Bosman knows better. In her news story/analysis, she cited Alice Munro's "modesty and subtle wit," a phrase which comes much closer to the mark.
Alice Munro writes the way any genteel Southern matriarch with a sense of politesse and an eagle eye would talk -- understated and perfect. You'd think Mrs. Munro was one of those ladies in a small town somewhere between Lake Village, Ark., and Biloxi, Miss., who's run the bookstore for years while she was raising three daughters. Which is just what Alice Munro of Clinton, Ontario, did while she was composing her masterpieces, which are short only in length. They're never short in depth.
Mrs. Munro knows that a short story isn't just an abbreviated art form that wants to be a novel when it grows up. She said she'd labored under that delusion for years before realizing the short story has an integrity of its own. No one who knows her work -- or John Cheever's -- will ever make that mistake again.
No writer need ever apologize for a fine short story, though there are innumerable novels published that sorely need apologizing for.
When the people at the Swedish Academy finally tracked her down to give Mrs. Munro the good news, they found her visiting one of her daughters in Victoria, British Columbia, an idealized version of a British seaside town, complete with carefully tended flower gardens and a high tea at the Empress Hotel that would compare to any in Victorian times.
When the press asked her for a comment on her Nobel, she said, among other more than gracious things, that she hoped her award would bring more attention to Canadian writing. As usual, the lady was engaging in understatement. Her work not only redeems a national literature but the short story itself.
It takes only a little imagination to hear Anton Chekhov, the great Russian short-story writer and playwright, beam with satisfaction at this news, and in his always concise fashion, sigh: At last!

How so? It was due to the need of the card issuers actually to make money on less lucrative terms. Annual fees are coming back. New fees -- for instance, a $19 inactivity fee at one bank -- have appeared. From an average 10.7 percent a year ago, average rates for new cards have risen to 13.6 percent as issuers got ready for the new legislation.
We also get interest rates that can rise with the market. With many issuers trying to reduce their risk, says AP, "banks also made it harder to get and keep credit cards … Credit lines were frequently cut in regions most affected by the housing crisis and high unemployment. … Because the law makes credit cards less profitable, some subprime borrowers may not be able to get cards at all, at least for the next few years."
Thanks for the help, Congress. Let's get on with health care now, so we can look forward to finding out what fine points and details got neglected in the mad, White House-prompted rush to Do Something.
Isn't all this fun? A my-way-or-the-highway "summit" with substantive outcome predetermined; the prospect of a national free-for-all over schemes to raise taxes and spending, more in the hope than the certainty that good will come of it. Bedcovers over the head sounds like a truly wonderful notion. Not quite yet, though. Not until the American people get health care, Obama-style, well and truly planted, with floral offerings and the sound of Taps.

PRESCRIBED FOR: Calcium-containing products are used as part of a regimen for preventing and treating osteoporosis in individuals with low levels of calcium in their diets. Calcium carbonate is also used as an antacid for treating minor stomach upset.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Calcium can make it difficult for the body to absorb certain medications. Calcium products bind to quinolone (for example, ciprofloxacin) and tetracycline (for example, Sumycin) antibiotics in the intestine and can prevent their absorption into the body. To prevent this interaction, doses of quinolone and tetracycline antibiotics should be separated by three or more hours from doses of calcium.
Calcium carbonate-containing products reduce acidity in the stomach. The reduction of acid decreases the absorption of iron from the intestine. Therefore, doses of calcium and iron should be separated by a several hours.
Calcium products also bind to sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate, a drug used to treat high levels of potassium) in the intestine and, therefore, may interfere with the action of Kayexalate. Doses of Kayexalate and calcium products should be separated by several hours.
PREGNANCY: Use of calcium supplements during pregnancy appears to be safe, but such use should be done under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
NURSING MOTHERS: Calcium products appear in breast milk but are considered safe during breastfeeding.
Calcium supplements are safe when used by nursing mothers.

I used a tube of this and while it does exfoliate adequately, I won't be repurchasing for a couple of reasons. First, the smell is more dirt-like than I'd prefer. The fact that the granules are brown and in a brown-ish gel also puts me in mind of dirty beach sand - not too appealing. It also foams up considerably while scrubbing, such that it has a tendency to go up my nose. For some, the fact that it's a dual product, a cleanser and scrub together, might be a good thing. I prefer separate products because I don't want to use a physical exfoliant every day. Price is not terrible, but still getting up there for a relatively small tube of scrub. Flip top tube works great in the shower. Gave it 3 lippies because it does exfoliate, but I'm not happy with the smell or added foaming cleansing feature.

I have combination/oily skin so it is essential for me to exfoliate once in a while. This product did it just right. It doesn't irritates and left your skin feel silky smooth after using it. It's also not too pricey. Great job Body Shop! I removed one lippy because I hate the seaweed smell. My friends find it refreshing, but its just not for me. BUT, this product is so great that even I can't stand the smell I will buy this product again. And again. And again. And again.

Before using this product, I only moisturised my face. I bought this just over a week ago and my skin has become noticeably softer, I no longer have dry patches when I apply make up and I have fewer blackheads. My face looks better with and without foundation. :)

There's no denying I like a good face scrub - I tend to find they reach the parts that regular facial cleansers can't. At 9.00GBP this sits nicely in the same band as some regular drugstore scrubs, which I find tend to range between 2.99GBP and 10.00GBP. However, in the case of this one I would say the price reflects the product. It exfoliates effectively without being too scratchy or leaving my skin feeling dry and tight.
Unlike some facial exfoliators this foams up as you use it, which might not appeal to some (it has SLS in it, which I know some people try to avoid in skincare products), but as someone with sensitive skin I can honestly say this has never given me any cause for concern. As mentioned, it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight, but equally it has never left me with breakouts or sore patches.
A 75ml tube of this has easily lasted me 3 months when using it twice a week, so for the price this is pretty good value for money. The smell takes a little getting used to - I can't put my finger on what it smells of, but it's quite earthy in tone which I'm guessing has something to do with the seaweed content - but it certainly wouldn't put me off using it or buying it again when this one finally runs out.

I really like this exfoliator and at the moment I use this 2-3x a week. I used to use St Ives, but after reading reviews that stated St Ives can easily break your capillaries and is too rough for your skin I switched over to this exfoliator since it is much gentler. The beads are much softer than St Ives, but are a decent size so you can still feel them on your face. I love the smell and the lathering properties of this since I prefer face washes that lather...it makes me feel like its working. I normally use a clarisonic 2x a day so I tend to have a seperate face wash from an exfoliator; this is gentle enough for me to use on a daily basis so when I go on vacations I just bring this with me and leave the clarisonic at home.

i love love love this scrub. i have been using this for years. i am writing this review to help people incase they arent sure.i use this every second or third day during winter time depend on my skin but in summer time i practically use this everyday. i have combination to oily skin and prone to acne but this scrub is great on my skin. it helps lift of the dirt and oil of my face without drying it out. it is just so gentle on skin, so gentle but it does the job.
i just love it

I have gotten it as a scrub, but feel like it is more of a cleanser with exfoliating properties.
I like the gel texture and the fact that it leaves the skin squeaky clean. Feels like it is quite dehydrating and rips the skin off of the oils so you would need to moisturize well afterwards. It would be perfect for combo to oily skin and in the summer.
Would not recommend using this as a daily cleanser since I think it is too harsh and drying for that, but using this two-three times a week instead of your regular cleanser would seem sensible. That would not cancel out using a proper scrub or exfoliator.
The packaging is great, I love squeeze tubes for scrubs and cleansers, it is convenient and hygienic. I guess I might repurchase, but I lean towards maybe on this one. It is on the pricier scale, but I would not think it's too expensive. It does a nice job, but I can not say I am impressed.

I know this is suppose to be an exfoliator only, but i kind of used it as a cleanser.
suprisingly when i use it as a cleanser all my pimples subside quite fast!
Although it does'nt really smooth my skin that much, or fade my scars but it does quite a good job as a cleanser.
i wear a lot of makeup and the weather here in Malaysia is really hot and humid, thus all the oil and dirt clogged into my pores.
I have really oily skin, pimples, acne scars, large pores and blackheads on my nose.
After a month of stopping from this, ( i grew bored and wanted to try something different) all my pimples came back!
So until i find my HG cleanser im surely gonna stick with this first.

This product is okay as a cleanser but I'm not sold on the supposed pore-clarifying effect. It certainly wasn't very noticeable on me. The exfoliating grains are not too irritating for my skin. I found the gel base of the product left some filmy, rather clingy residue which, if not rubbed away completely (and it took a fair bit of vigourous scrubbing, I tell you!), caused me to have irritated bumps the next day.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Medium Brown, Warm
Hair: Brown, Kinky, Coarse

This product is amazing!! I'm not using any other product.. EVER! I'm going to keep coming back to this. I love this product so much. It deep cleanses blocked pores, exfoliates to remove dead at skin cells, excess oils, impurities and daily grime. Best exfoliator ever. My skin felt so soft and smooth when I was done. The only cons are that the bottle is kind of small and it is a little pricey. Its worth it though.

House at the End of the Street
After she became a household name in The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence is a hot property for teen targeted titles, and this one fits that bill perfectly. Having just moved from the big city to a house in a wooded, small town neighborhood, Lawrence's character Elissa and her mom Sarah (Elisabeth Shue) realize they were only able to rent their upscale, sprawling home due to an incident that happened next door.
Four years prior to their arrival we see the gruesome event of young Carrie Anne murdering her parents, leaving only her brother to survive the tragedy. There is also the rumor that Carrie Anne's body was never found and that she's still roaming the forest. Now Ryan (Max Thieriot) lives in the home by himself and the neighbors are anything but compassionate. They feel the house has eroded property prices and want it destroyed. Elissa however, is developing feelings for the estranged orphan occupant, especially when he offers the only hope for a safe ride home after she's been hit on by a sexually aggressive senior boy from her school.
With her protective mother worried about her daughter's rescue project, Elissa begins covering her tracks with lies about where she is going and call forwarding the home phone to her cell when her mom checks in on her from work. Of course this, and a myriad of other stupid decisions, will cause problems once the terror begins.
Targeting adolescent audiences with its relatively young cast, HATES (the acronym given to this movie's lengthy title) offers overly dramatic dialogue. Light on gore but heavy on jump scenes, the movie will be effective at convincing youth that the strange person on their street is a deranged killer. While blood is minimal we do see two people killed. A fight between young men is also depicted with one receiving a bone-breaking injury. Teens are involved in a couple of sensual scenes, as well as partying, gambling and consuming alcohol. One character gets drunk to the point of vomiting and at least one other is seen driving a car after imbibing. Recreational drug use by adults is depicted as well, albeit in a negative context.
Between the all-too-typical script and content issues, there are few reasons to put your money down on this film. From an artistic point of view the plot includes a couple of good twists and there are some capable actors on the screen—Lawrence being one of them. It's just unfortunate the performers don't have any substance to work with, and there is no sense of subtlety to build convincing horror. Good chance you can pass by this house and not miss much.

I do apologize, I posted this in the horse tack and equipment forum, but I only got a couple answers, and they were helpful, but I would like something a little more specific please.
Would anyone know of a few good bits to try on a very mouthy 2yo? I've been introducing it to him gradually, and with a simple snaffle he just plays with it, and won't stay focused. I have't tried a medium port curb yet, I feel its a little big for him yet (thickness of bar wise/width). My 2yo is also very insistent that he must chew on everything to make sure its not edible, and if your not paying attention enough he'll get you with a good snap. I'm working on breaking that (oh the stubbornness)
Your thoughts and advice are very helpful. Thank you!
P.S. I have plans on hopefully turning him into a barrel horse or a pleasure/reining horse someday.

Warren D. Allmon is the Director of the Paleontological Research Institution (PRI) in Ithaca, NY and the Hunter R. Rawlings III Professor of Paleontology in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University. He earned his A.B. in Earth Sciences from Dartmouth College in 1982, and his Ph.D. in Earth and Planetary Sciences from Harvard University in 1988. For four years he was Assistant Professor of Geology at the University of South Florida, Tampa, and became PRI's fourth Director in 1992. Since 1992, he has been instrumental in rejuvenating PRI's internationally-known fossil collections; starting its local, regional, and national programs in Earth science education; and in planning and fundraising for the Museum of the Earth, PRI's $11 million education and exhibit facility which opened in September 2003. In November 2004, Allmon helped secure a formal agreement of affiliation between PRI and Cornell, ending more than 70 years of official separation.
Allmon's major research interest is macroevolution and paleoecology, especially the ecology of the origin and maintenance of biological diversity and the application of the geological record to the study of these problems, particularly using Cenozoic marine gastropods (snails of the last 65 million years).
Allmon is the author of more than 250 technical and popular publications. He is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America and the Paleontological Society, and the recipient of the 2004 Award for Outstanding Contribution to Public Understanding of Geoscience from the American Geological Institute.

Live updates
Gazza on his way home
Friends close to Paul Gascoigne say that he is on his way home after spending the past month at an Arizona rehab centre.
The former footballer checked into the Cottonwood Clinic to get treatment for alcohol addiction.
A number of celebrities have helped fund the £7500 a week rehabilitation programme.
Calls for a minimum unit price for alcohol
15,000 people in the North East have backed calls for a minimum unit price for alcohol.
The campaign was organised by the region's alcohol office for the Government's alcohol consultation, which ended at midnight.
Sunderland off-licence banned from selling alcohol
A Sunderland off licence has been banned from selling alcohol after complaints of underage sales by police.
Rye and Dry off-licence, on Ryhope Street, had its licence revoked following a hearing of Sunderland City Council's Licensing Committee, on January 17.
The move follows two seperate incidents, in October and November 2012, in which young people carrying alcohol were stopped by police.
On both occasions, Rye and Dry was named as the shop it was bought from.
"We know that children who are able to buy alcohol are far more likely to become involved in anti-social behaviour.
Dealing with youth disorder is a priority for us and a main concern of our residents. Shops which ignore the law and sell alcohol to children must take responsibility for their actions.
Officers make regular checks on pubs, bars and off-licences to make sure their staff are aware of the licensing regulations and their responsibilities to the public.
Rye and Dry losing their licence should serve as a warning to other businesses that police will not tolerate this kind of behaviour."
Council backs city minimum alcohol pricing
Two bars in Newcastle will become the first in the UK to sell alcohol at a new minimum price.
The bars which will open on Grey Street in the city centre will have to set prices of at least one pound twenty five per unit.
That's nearly three times the current rate of forty five pence.
The council have agreed the new price with the bar owners saying it will control alcohol related crime in Newcastle.
Premium bars will maintain Grey Street standards
Two bars in Newcastle are set to become the first of their kind, and in the UK, as they will be licensed to sell alcohol at a minimum price in excess of one pound per unit.
The new units at Decantus and the Grey Street Cafe Bar and Grill have been given the licenses on the condition that alcohol is sold at a minimum price of £1.25 per unit - nearly three times the current 45p per unit price.
The £1.25 figure has been set to maintain standards and keep Grey Street as the city's premier street. Newcastle City Council, who are running the initiative, also believe the measure will maintain the quality of the city centre, control crime and disorder and improve health.
"Newcastle is leading the way nationally on this issue and many other councils like us with a world class night life and destination to manage will follow in our footsteps.
The Government should take our lead by doing what they can to be tougher on the supermarkets, who have caused the crisis of low cost binge drinking. Only they can tackle this problem."

Police prepared to "arrest more motorists than ever before"
North Yorkshire Police is warning that they are prepared to arrest more motorists than ever before during this year's festive drink and drug drive campaign.
Officers have arrested 43 people since the Christmas crackdown began on 1st December, despite repeated warnings about the potential dangers and possible repercussions linked to drink and drug driving.
Police have been patrolling the roads of North Yorkshire and the City of York since the campaign began and have breathalysed 1597 motorists.
Of the 43 motorists arrested on suspicion of drink or drug driving so far, 21 have been charged and face losing their licences before the year is out.
Our officers have done a great job since the campaign began in detecting suspected drink and drug drivers.
"It is, however, very disappointing that some people still choose to ignore our pleas not to put lives in danger by getting behind the wheel while impaired through drink and drugs.
"I want people to know that we will continue breathalysing people and making arrests in order to keep our communities safe this Christmas.

New scheme to tackle drunkenness
Police in Newcastle are launching a new scheme to cut alcohol-related crime in the city.
People who are arrested will be given the option of halving their £80 fine if they attend a course designed to change their behaviour. It will educate people about the impact of alcohol on them and other people.
The organisers hope it will change people's drinking habits, which will in turn cut crime.
The course will be delivered by training point, who have worked with the local NHS, the police and fire service to offer the course.
