I found this same recipe in our local weekly free paper, the Merchandiser, last summer, and have made it 3-4 times since. Felt it was excellent enough to share here but found it was already posted. This recipe has trumped my tried-and-true baked bean recipe as our favorite. The combination of ingredients is the perfect mixture of hot and sweet, and the heat can be adjusted with the amount of chipotles used. I ususally tinker with recipes but have not changed a thing about this one (other than skipping the parsley if I don't have any on hand.) This recipe also works well in a crock pot, cook about 8-10 hours on low. I did leave the crockpot lid propped open at the end to thicken the beans a bit more. This recipe is well worth trying!
This is a wonderful bean recipe with a hint of heat and sweetness. We enjoyed this along with short ribs and corn on the cob. Reviewed for ZWT 4 South America. Thank you Lzyme for posting this recipe for us.

New Partnership Will Provide Critical Support to
Emerging Nebraska Artists
About the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts
Through its internationally-recognized residency program, the Bemis Center provides critical time and space to outstanding artists who are working at the cutting edge of contemporary practice. Jane Alexander, the former head of the National Endowment for the Arts, has called the Bemis Center "one of the great treasures of its kind in the country," and ArtInfo has recognized the Bemis Center as one of the "Top 10 residency program around the globe."
The Bemis Center serves the international artistic community by inviting artists from around the world to spend up to three months in Omaha in spacious live/work studios experimenting with the conceptual and material bases of their artistic practices. The work-in-process that is part of the residency experience is made visible to Omaha residents and visitors through the Bemis Center's "cutting-edge exhibitions" (The New York Times). The Bemis Center also serves the local community by providing direct support to Nebraska and Iowa artists and by developing artistic opportunities that benefit the Omaha-metro area.

Rag & Bone jeans
Ashley Benson in Rag & Bone Bomber Leggings in Wakefield
Ashley Benson was spotted out getting some coffee in West Hollywood, California. The actress wore a new pair of jeans from her favorite brand, Rag & Bone. She opted to keep to her signature style and chose their Bomber Leggings in Wakefield.
I like how subtle the leather detail is on these. They still give off that motorcycle feel without having the obvious details. The leather piping curves along the seams to give the legs more dimension. What do you think of these jeans? You can click here to purchase them at Shopbop for $264.
New Styles by Rag & Bone
Here are some new styles for the new season by Rag & Bone. First up is my favorite of the two, the Portobello Pants in Army Plaid. I have been obsessing over these the past few week or so since I first saw them. They have that perfect balance of prep and grunge that can lean towards either way, just depending on the way they are styled. I would wear these uncuffed with a black t shirt and some classic slip-ons.
Another new style for the season is the Bomber Leggings. Subtle details is what makes these stand out. They have leather piping going down the leg as well as above of the calves. Instead of just adding piping, the idea was thought through and contours to the curves of the legs to make them even more flattering than what the jeans already are. Which pair is making your eyes open? You can click here for the Bomber Leggings at Shopbop and here for the plaid Portobello from Saks.
Jennifer Garner in Rag & Bone The Skinny in Wonderland
Out with her family, Jennifer Garner was photographed while picking up some items at a local farmer's market. She has been busy filming her new film, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, in Los Angeles. It must be nice for Jen that she doesn't have to leave LA to film!
While out with her family, she wore a pair of Rag & Bone the skinny jeans in Wonderland with a green sweater and brown boots. I really like the color of the green sweater with wash of the jeans. You can buy Rag & Bone jeans online with Shopbop.com.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Rag & Bone Cut-Off Shorts in Moss w/Holes
Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted getting some coffee in East Hampton, New York. The actress kept it simple with a pair of Rag & Bone Cut-Off Shorts in Moss with a printed t shirt and some TKEES flip-flops.
This is the first time that we have seen Gwyneth wear a pair of Rag & Bone shorts and just like the jeans, they fit her really well. How many of you are fans of the Rag & Bone shorts just as much their jeans? You can click here to purchase these shorts from their website for $75.

My little girl will be 3 weeks tomorrow. I'm a little concerned about her food intake, though. Mind you, she's my first, and I might be overworrying... but, she eats a lot, it seems. I usually make her a two ounce bottle. She eats that, but immediately wants more... so, I give it to her... so she'll eat 3... 4... and last night she drunk 6 ounces within the span of one hour. She then, of course, throws it up. But she cries and cries and puts her fingers in her mouth like she's hungry, and when I put the bottle on her mouth she literally attacks it. I asked her doctor, and he said sometimes they're just hungry, and that he'll monitor her weight gain and let me know if I need to ease up... but, I'm just wondering where are other moms at, as far as feeding? how much is/was your baby eating at 3 weeks???
How much milk should a baby drink at 3 weeks?
Mommy to Clarice(5), Sophia(2), and Emma(0)
"Yes because a few typos make me an uneduacated fool." - docmconfused
She spits out the pacifier... but I usually burp her after every half ounce... that's the part that throws me off... Like I said, I usually make her a two ounce bottle. I burp her every half ounce... but after she's finished with those two ounces, she'll start to cry again. After a while of her crying, I'll make her another two ounces... so on and so forth. Sometimes she'll be okay at three, sometimes she'll drink four, or more.
I understand she's overeating, because she's spitting up the food after she eats it... but, why is she still acting as if she's hungry??? and, what do you do, in that situation? Nothing appears to soothe her, other than more food.
Babies suck for comfort in addition to food, so they can seem hungry when they are really just upset, uncomfortable, unsettled, etc. She might be spitting out the pacifier because she just doesn't like that style [it's normal to have to try several different brands/styles before finding one that the baby likes], not because she doesn't want to suck on something to soothe herself.

Dont feel bad my baby does the samething ... I try to only give him 3oz but he screams until he gets what he wants... I give him the pacifier he sucks it for awhile then spits it out .. mine is 3 weeks too ... I rock him , take him for a walk , play music for him .. sometimes it works .

A twentieth-century composer uses notation in accordance with the conventions of his own time, and there is therefore little chance that a twentieth-century performer will misunderstand him. A composer of the eighteenth or the sixteenth or the fourteenth century also used notation in accordance with the conventions of his own time, but there is therefore every chance in the world that a twentieth-century performer will entirely misrepresent his music through an inadequate knowledge of these conventions, for the most part long obsolete and forgotten. In a word, when a modern performer looks at a piece of early music he must not take for granted the significance of any of the symbols he sees.
(Dart 1967 : 13)
As I explained in previous chapters, some musical works are not for performance and others, which are for performance, are transmitted via instances that function as models, rather than via notations. Nevertheless, a majority of musical pieces are for performance and many of these are transmitted via musical notations. In this chapter I consider the nature of musical notations, distinguishing various types in terms of their primary functions. Following the common practice, I call notations with the main purpose of prescribing works 'scores'. Not all musical notations are scores, however. For instance, some describe musical works, performances, or styles and are notational transcriptions, while others serve as mnemonics. At the level of inscription, there may be nothing to distinguish a score from a mnemonic or a notational transcription. The primary function of a notation is not always apparent on its face, and a notation with one function might sometimes be employed for another. For example, a score might be used for analysis rather than performance. As well as elaborating the distinctions just introduced, I examine the theory of notations developed by Nelson Goodman.

Are you using tape-based data protection?
Find out why customers using tape-based data protection put resellers and integrators in a good position to add value in a green storage project.
This Article Covers
Data Backup and Data Protection
Are you using tape-based data protection, and do you have plans for migrating off of tape?
This question is important because a VAR might be trying to sell a customer a data deduplication solution -- a very popular topic these days. The customer may be thinking about going that route in the future, but they're still using tape-based data protection solutions. Well, it turns out that tape is a very green technology, since when it's not being used, it's not using any power. It has great performance and great capabilities for storing data. So, that customer is an opportunity now.

Lecture: Florence Knoll: Textiles as Interior Architecture
Among her many innovations, Florence Knoll introduced padded and tufted upholstered chair seats without armrests, so that space flowed effortlessly around them, and custom-colored curtains to compensate for the unnatural quality of the new fluorescent lights. In this lecture, Christine Gorby will explore how Florence Knoll reconceptualized the use of textiles as integral architectural elements within the modern interior and in the context of dynamic social and technological changes.
Christine Gorby is an architect and associate professor of architecture, Pennsylvania State University, College of Arts and Architecture.

creature concepts by arcipelloWatch
©2009-2016 arcipello
a few more abandoned concepts i thought people might enjoy looking at. both created in photoshop some time ago.
That armor....really great design!
what can they do?
one on the right reminds me of scolipede
The first pic looks kinda like the Faraam set of armor drom Dark Souls 2, while the second reminds me of a "Centipedian" from the old Spider Rider book series.
Love the armor design and really like the color. Awesome work.
Wow!!!!!Nice Art........
Want this as my monster hunter armor haha
Dayum. I like that. That's awesome. I freaking LOVE adventure/medieval fantasy drawings.
Woah! Impressive!
cool designs
Awesome! I want more!
try waking up with that thing next to u x3
wow look so awesome!!!
The bug looking creature reminds me of a creature called "The Griever" from a series of book called The Maze Runner ^_^
Why did 13 gets all those stupid sequels, yet we never got to find out more about Ivalice.
I really hate what Square has become.
I really hate what Square has become.
This reminds me a lot of monster hunter (especially since the guy on the left has a knife).
You just traced that bug from a Final Fantasy game...
Well, he completely remodeled it. Kinda.
Omg they look so real! I almost thought they were actually IRL X3
Amazing! They look almost like figurines!
Both Images gives me such a dark soulsy feel, sorry. Where is this from? Is it from your imagination?
Reminds me of dark souls
Nice One !
You have no idea how much I love that creature
super coool!
very interesting Arc. Really diggin the Armor. Eclectic but effective.
reminds me of Maliken and geomancer in HoN. nice work btw.
Uhm, how does that person remind you of maliken at all? I see no likeness o.o
Wasn't this designed for that game set in Ivalice?
I love the way you use colors!

You should receive a DD for this.
Wow! You created these in Photoshop? These are amazing!
Absolutely love the armor design, all the textures are so well rendered, especially the scratched and battered metal!
I remember I saw this artwork on some gaming site stating it was artwork for a abandoned Final Fantasy 12 sequel a couple of months back. Don't know if it is true (it probably isn't) but this is still awesome none the less. I loved it then and I still love it now.

Appears the Luna Moth is easier on the eye than the Isabella Tiger Moth (adult woolly bear), but the woolly bear might actually qualify as cute and furry!
Not much, but here are a few pictures of myself riding the trek 2100 today, with my fave classic jersey, a peugeot cap, and some aviator sunglasses for extra style bonus ha.
It was a Singletrack weekend on my 1990 Diamondback Apex. I toured the Pennypack Creek Watershed just outside of Philadelphia. One set of photos is from The Pennypack Ecologocal Trust and the other is from Pennypack Park in Philly. It was wet & sloppy, but a heck of alot of fun. The Singletrack is not that technical, but still is fun. Many of the trail were overgrown. I have some battle scars from the sticker bushes.
The High Sierra Fall Century - this ride is my personal Gold Standard - it is the organized ride by which I judge all others.
I wasn't intending to do the ride this year, as I had done it three times in the past and I also spend a week or so riding around the area in the summertime on most of the roads the century covers. This year, Markopolo and Mhendricks were going to take a run at it, and convinced me to tag along. I in turn, convinced my best friend to allow us the use of his condo, and he graciously opened it up to our use for the ride.
Because it is about a 6 hour ride form the SF Bay Area to Mammoth Lakes, we took Friday off and left early. Arriving at Mammoth in early afternoon, we registered for the ride, had a nice lunch, and ensconced ourselves into the condo. We soon became bleary-eyed and lethargic. I'm not sure who instigated it, but push came to shove and we needled each other out the door for a short ride in order to get better acclimated to the altitude. As the condo sits at 8,000', we needed all the help we could get. 12 miles and about 1,200' of climbing later, we had climbed up to 9,000' and made the return to the condo, dinner, and bed.
I must confess up front that I really did not expect to finish this ride. My riding habits of late have been sporadic, and I assumed that this, along with the high altitude, would conspire to wear me out before I reached the finish line. I was ok with that, and decided to ride as many miles as I could while still enjoying the effort. Because of this, I decided to optimize the ride experience to take fullest advantage of the scenic splendor of the area. To this end, I elected to part company with the main group of riders, go off the reservation, and transit through the June Lake Loop.
Surprisingly enough I felt very good after finishing the first major climb (Deadman Summit) and looping through and re-emerging onto Hwy 395, and in a bit of fortuitous serendipity I met up with MarkoPolo at the Hwy 395/120 junction. We headed off east, and it was here that I was beginning to set my mind on completing the ride. It turns out that this was Mark's first shot at a century, and I didn't want him to finish alone. In addition, I was feeling great, the weather was nice, the scenery fantastic....... and besides, what else did I have to do all day?
Mhendricks and the other fellows were up ahead of us, and we caught Mike at the next rest stop. After fooling around for a bit, we finished off the remainder of the second major climb (Sagehen Summit). Just before summiting at over 8,300' we crossed a large plateau called Big Sand Flat, and at this time we noticed building weather in the distance. Dark clouds were swirling over the peaks, and we could see gray-black horizontal streaks in the rapidly approaching clouds. As the wind began to switch and eddy, we rocketed down the 10 mile descent to Adobe Valley and lunch.
Lunch was unremarkable, and neither one of us had much of an appetite. While we were tentatively nibbling at the offered fare, my friend and our host Vic overhauled us. Vic had left the condo early and had started his ride in Bishop, just for fun. While I was now at mile 60 and hoping to make 100, Vic was at over 100 and hoping to make 250. Yikes.
We took off under leaden skies, and could see weather building all around us. We were now traveling north to south, and the storm was coming in from the west. I was sure it was just a matter of time before we were caught out in the open under a high desert squall, so we hustled along thinking to outrun the southern edge of the storm. We hit the base of the third and last major climb of the day, Wildrose Summit, a fun little 6 mile slog with a steadily increasing incline with a scintillating double-digit finish. By the time I hit the top and coasted into the rest stop, I was feeling pretty spent. Even so, there was now no question about pressing on - we were still dry, the weather was holding, and only a couple miles of 9% rollers and the obligatory brutal headwind was between us and the finish line. Yay.
Mark and I suffered the rollers, made the final climb to the top of Waterman Pass, and enjoyed the sporadic raindrops as we began our descent to the back of Crowley Lake and what has always been a punishing 20 mph headwind. As luck would have it, the wind was absent - it never materialized. I'm guessing the stormy weather was the reason, but I wasn't asking questions nor was I dawdling around to find out if nature would change its' mind. We had gotten very lucky, and I wasn't about to or press my luck. By this time I was all-in, and the expected wind would have surely killed me off mere miles from the finish.
We rolled across the finish line to burgers and beer with a 7:48 saddle time, 6,220' of climbing, and just over 100 miles and three 8,000'+ passes on the day. All in all, a pretty good run for me, and we even topped it off with a 23 mile spin around the June Lake Loop on Sunday before headng out. I ended up with 130 miles for the weekend, all told.

End of the year 104 km ride on the 1984 Gitane Tdf today. 3 hrs 13 minutes on a chilly (40 degrees at the start) and rolling course that has some great scenery. Unfortunately I didn't have room in my pockets for the camera so I didn't get any photos.

And now for something completely different.
Bored with the mind-numbing monotony of the California landscape, I accepted Old Fat Guy's invitation to weekend in Phoenix Arizona and participate in the 6th annual Tour De Scottsdale road race . That's right - a road race. Those of you that have ridden with me are doubtless chucking to yourself as you read this, but nevertheless that's what I did. 70 miles and about 3,000' of climbing shoulder to shoulder (more or less) with about a thousand other riders.
Now - I should state up front that the real racers start first from a slightly different location, and the "citizen" racers start together from the shotgun a short while thereafter. The race organizers attempt to stratify the starting chute by rider average speed, but that is an impossible thing for them to evaluate so folks just estimate where they belong and things pretty much sort themselves out in the first few miles. Me? I lined up with the shaved leg crowd, and after the gun hung on for a few miles before filtering back. The starting lane is sort of a rolling parade anyway, so it was all good and I got to enjoy the roar of the crowd for a little while before sinking into obscurity.
We played hide and seek with a weather system from the get-go, but other than suffering a pretty good wind we managed to get away without experiencing rain or thundershowers. But we did suffer in the wind for most of the day.
After rolling out of the starting gate, the course begins a gradual climb for about 9 miles, hooks right, climbs a hill, then hooks right again for about a 3 mile shallow descent before another left turn and the final climb on the first half of the course. I hit the climb pretty aggressively, figuring I could catch my breath on the downhill run. too bad I forgot about the wind - when I made the turn downhill, it was right in my teeth and blowing pretty good. As I gritted my teeth and cursed the unfairness of it all, a line of behemoths crept up from behind. Four men, none less than 6'4" tall, slowly passed on my left. As the last of the four glided by, I simply moved out to get behind him and immediately got sucked in. It was a wonderful 3 miles.
After we made the turn left for the coming ascent I dropped off because I could not easily hang with them on the climb, so I thanked them for the pull as they thundered off and left me in their wake. I summited in short order, and dropped down the other side for a long shallow glide down to the mid-course aid station at the 37 mile mark.
After a quick stop to refresh myself, I was off again to tackle the 2nd half of the course. This pretty much consisted of a long, stair-stepped and windy climb out of the valley I had just descended into, followed by a sort, steep climb before dropping back into the Scottsdale Valley and turning for home. I won't bore you with the details, but it primarily consisted of hopping from group to group while battling cross and headwinds for a couple of hours.
Similar to the beginning, the end featured another 9 mile shallow climb back to the finish. For once, I was in a tailwind - but this came at a price. It was now near noon and hot, and the following wind gave the feeling of dead air. So, I baked and toiled my way up the last series of grinds before eventually crossing the finish line and calling it a day.
My main goal on the day was to finish the race with a sub-5 hour time. I accomplished that goal...... barely. I'm officially in the record books with a time of 4:59:43.1, finishing 758 overall out of 1117 finishers, and 174 out of 209 for my age group. Woot.
And now for the pics:

My friend and I are in Maine for Columbus Day weekend. She likes the smell the roses ride.
So we rode a 15 mile loop out of Kennebunkport Maine. Ocean Ave out towards George H. W. Bush's
place. Then to Cape Porpoise and Goose Rocks beach. I rode my early 70's Raleigh Grand Prix
and she road a mid 2000's Trek hybrid.

Brings back memories! I went to The Landing School in Arundel, right next door to Kennebunkport. I lived for a few months just up the road from Walker Point (where the Bush house is) and then moved to Kennebunk Beach on the other side of the river. My roommate's dog ran away once and was found all the way over in Cape Porpoise, sitting outside the lobster pound licking his chops. Quite the walk from Kennebunk Beach! I miss it up there in the summer, not so much in January!

Rode out to Delaware Park in Buffalo today and then out to Niagara Falls to take in the fall foliage, but I forgot my camera chip so I was only able to take 3 pics on the cameras memory. About a 40 mile ride though, and now I have to get back out there with the chip....

We are just getting started in farming, me after some 50 years away from it. The whole idea of organic is interesting but I recall my Dad's farm many years ago. It was organic since we couldn't afford much fertilzer or spraying. Now I am wondering how to get the best bang for my hours of labor. We have horses that produce a lot of manure. I am reluctant to use that directly on row crops because of the e coli scares. How should I treat the manure before using it? Will it make a good soil amendment with proper treatment?
I have had good luck just letting horse manure sit in a pile for a year, but it was partially decomposed when I got it from my neighbors. My current project is with fresh horse manure that I got from a stable, with very little sawdust. I layered it up with hay (6-7 layers) and water it along with my usual irrigation rounds (20 stations -10 day cycle). I will either let it sit until next spring or have my neighbor move it onto my fields with his tractor and let is finish composting where it lays. General rule is to let it sit for a year before use. Red worms are supposed to be the best for digesting animal manures.
Here's an article with an interesting way of using manure:http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/hooker87.html
Apparently, when manure is burned as a heating fuel, and the resultant ash used as a fertilizer, it has a cumulative effect, dramatically increasing crop yield and soil health every year that its used. Plus, you don't have to worry about it contaminating your crops with e coli or parasites.
This is one of the keys to Asia's soil fertility, even though many farms there have been heavily used for over 4000 years.
You cannot get e-coil from horse manure.
While you wouldn't want to apply horse manure directly to plants (it'll burn them), letting it compost first works great! You could make a huge compost pile out of it by taking turns layering the manure (nitrogen) with carbon such as wood shavings or straw, etc. It'll take some months depending on the zone you live in and which season you begin your project.
I also have good luck using a thick layer on top of an existing bed (or a new one, for that matter) at the end of summer after harvest and letting it sit for several months. The earthworms do their work and it's ready for planting like magic come spring.

I'm doing a path racer inspired ss build for my friend right now. Its pretty much done but I realized I kind of got myself into a dilemma with the paint situation.
I painted the bike maroon with regular rustoleum rattlecan paint figuring I could just clear coat it later. I have read a couple old posts on clear coating and I'm not exactly sure what to do in my situation.
1) The paint is already on and relatively set.
2) There is no clear coat for the paint system I used.
3) When I went to buy rustoleum clear coat at home depot. i found that they really dont make any specific clear coat, they just have clear spray paint which has no particular protective qualities.
I saw on an old post that someone claimed that many paint shops will mix up a 2 part clear coat with a catalyzer in an aerosol can for you and that this was a good heavy duty option but every paint store I called had no idea what I was talking about when I said this. Does anyone know anything about this?
Also I have access to a hot air gun. Would heating the rattle can paint job I already did about week after make it harden better. Would doing a clear coat over the original coat and then

Too few doctors or too low wages? Labor supply of health care professionals in China
This paper estimates the labor supply functions for health care professionals in China using Census-based data in 2005. The rapid economic growth and population aging in China led to a substantial increase in the demand for health care services and the derived demand for health care professionals in recent years. However, the increase in the supply of doctors and nurses lags behind the growth in demand, raising the question of whether the excess demand should be met by expanding the health care manpower or by inducing the existing personnel to work more hours through wage increase. Our findings indicate that wage rate adjustment has a significant impact on the length of working time among the self-employed practitioners (with an estimated short-run elasticity of 0.575), while the labor supply of hospital employees is inelastic due to their fixed payment scheme. Instead, hours worked in the employee group are related to non-wage factors such as asset holdings and the hospital ownership type. An important policy implication of our study is that adjustments of labor compensation methods and hospital ownership structure are potentially effective approaches for coping with the excess demand for health care professionals and improving the quality of health care in China.

Can you imagine yourself with a clear complexion? It's easier than you think to turn that dream into a reality. Anti Bac Clearing Lotion has undergone extensive testing at the Clinic and has been proven to produce remarkable results. Using an ultra-fine delivery system, this treatment penetrates pores to help clear up existing acne and blackheads.
I never experienced acne issues until this past year. Hormonal cystic acne to be exact & its the worst kind around, and my relationship with my skin has been quite rocky and I have been dying to find something to keep it at bay, or if nothing else, reduce my frustrations with it.
While I was in England my friend had me try her acne cream, Quinoderm, her Doctor boyfriend prescribes her. It worked wonders and my skin was fab the 2 weeks I was there. Sadly, this is not available in the US, even with a prescription, so my quest for something "that worked" began and ended almost as fast as it started.
I chose this item because it contains 10% benzoyl peroxide.("Acne treatments" containing salicylic & lactic acid aren't acne treatments nor will it do anything for cystic acne.) 24 hours ago I applied it on a new pea size bump & it is gone. The golf-ball size bump has shrank down to the size of a marble. The pit & scarring a still healing cyst left behind 4 months ago looks 100 times better. I am beside myself with relief!!
This does not have a medicine smell. A teeny tiny drop goes A LONG way. It is smooth & creamy, not watery or thick or grainy. It is white & absorbs into your skin quickly so spot treat away during the day!
I have not had an issues with skin discoloration, hair bleaching, or towel bleaching.
I have oily skin in summer & combo dry in winter. With the unusually warm winter we are having my skin has gone bonkers. Most true OTC acne products dry my skin out within minutes. I was hesitant to try this but am glad I did. So far, this has not been an issue. Should it become one I'll still use it. Cystic acne is quite painful & large & will stick around FOR MONTHS. The only true cure for it is to have it cut out. But who wants that done on their face? Not me. Until my hormones are brought under control I will have to deal with it. Fortunately I have something in my arsenal to make it easier to deal.
I mix the Anti Bac Clearing Lotion with Kate's Goat Milk Cream at night and I wake up with clear and smooth skin. Combining the two products really works well for my sensitive skin.
This really clears acne and stops new breakouts and it doesn't rub off and bleach clothes. I don't feel it's over drying and use it every morning... my skin seems less oily too. At night I use Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Gel ... sometimes for a stubborn zit, I dab a little anti bac lotion over the night gel. I use 2-3 pumps a day and it lasts about 2 months... well worth the money!!!
Use one to three times a day, as needed, to continuously clear things up. (Start with one daily application to avoid excessive drying and, if necessary, increase frequency gradually.) Cleanse skin thoroughly and pat dry. Apply thin, even layer to affected areas (which may include skin on the chest and back), avoiding the lip and eye area.
This product can only be shipped to addresses within the U.S.

Archdiocese to release names of accused priests on Thursday [UPDATE]
Archbishop John Nienstedt was the subject of our June 20, 2012, cover story.
-- Updated with a statement the Diocese of Winona --
After years of resistance, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has vowed to reveal the names of priests suspected of sexually abusing children through its website and newspaper, The Catholic Spirit, as soon as Thursday.
A Ramsey County judge Monday gave his blessing on the release and set a deadline of Dec. 17. Jim Accurso, a spokesman for the archdiocese, said church officials would comply with the order but declined to comment on how many names would be released.
MPR reports that the archdiocese is considering withholding four of the 33 names on a list that was compiled in 2004 and later sealed by the court. Supposedly relying on a third-party review of its files, the archdiocese has suggested that the claims against three men could not be substantiated and another never served within its boundary.
SEE ALSO: Archbishop John Nienstedt crusades against gay marriage
A statement from the archdiocese says the information to be released Thursday -- including the current whereabouts of the accused -- is related to incidents that occurred between the mid 1950s and 80s. All of the men are either dead or no longer in the ministry.
Here's the rest of the statement:
These disclosures are not intended to be final. A comprehensive review of clergy files is ongoing presently and the list will be updated regularly as additional announcements are made in the future. This new level of disclosure is part of a comprehensive and cohesive set of actions we have been taking this fall to address the issues associated with clergy sexual misconduct in our archdiocese. These disclosure practices may evolve in the future as we progress with our disclosure, including recommendations that may be made by the independent task force or through the review of our clergy files by an outside firm.
Our goals are to protect the young and vulnerable, care for victims of abuse, and restore trust among the laity, as well as our clergy who are serving honorably. Those who have been victimized by these horrible crimes have been deeply hurt. It is our hope that disclosure of these names can assist victims in their healing process. Any sexual abuse of minors by clergy members cannot and will not be tolerated. As we have previously stated, anyone having knowledge of clergy sexual misconduct should immediately call law enforcement and is encouraged to notify the archdiocese.
Last month, the St. Paul police department denied reports that Nienstedt and other church officials were under investigation in connection with possible child porn found on a computer that belonged to the Rev. John Shelley. Whether it'll stay that way after is an open question. Sgt. Paul Paulos, a police spokesman, said the department's hands are tied until the list comes out on Thursday.
"We've got to wait to wait," he said. "We're totally reactionary at this point."
A Ramsey County judge Monday also ordered the Diocese of Winona to release the names of 13 priests suspected of sexually abusing children. It has yet to comment publicly.
The Diocese of Winona says it will "fully cooperate" with the judge's order but has not given a precise date. Click through to the next page to read it in full.
Full statement released Tuesday afternoon:
The Diocese of Winona will fully cooperate with the Order issued by the Ramsey County Court yesterday compelling disclosure of the names of thirteen (13) priests of the Diocese of Winona who were identified, in connection with a blind study conducted by the College of John Jay in 2002, as having credible accusations of sexual abuse of a minor made against them. The Diocese of Winona will provide the following information with respect to each priest: name, date of birth, year of ordination, whether the priest is alive or deceased, all parishes where the priest served within the Diocese of Winona, current ministerial status, and most current address known by the Diocese of Winona.
The Diocese of Winona is committed to the protection of children and the safe environment of our parishes, schools and greater communities. We encourage anyone, or any organization, with information regarding the abuse or exploitation of children or young people to immediately report that information to law enforcement. The Diocese of Winona has fully adopted the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People ("the Charter"), as promulgated by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The Diocese of Winona works vigorously, and has taken extraordinary measures, to ensure that all of the schools and parishes in the Diocese adhere to the Charter, which sets forth obligations to conduct background searches on all employees and volunteers, to provide training to all employees and volunteers with respect to identifying warning signs of sexual abuse of children, and to immediately report instances of sexual abuse. We are committed to the protection and safety of all those entrusted to our care.

When the Doctor Who50th anniversary special was being planned, the original goal was to being back this Time Lord to appear alongside the various Doctors. Get the details.
Doctor Who has been an institution of British television for more than half a century by now, but its only in the last decade or so that the show has hit the mainstream on the American side of the pond. Sadly, Netflix has some news for Who fans that is definitely not fantastic.
Its finally official, people. After an extended Will he?/Wont he? period, Doctor Who showrunner, head writer and executive producer Steven Moffat is officially going to be vacating the sci-fi series. But not just yet.
There are plenty of reasons why BBCs Doctor Who has spanned more than fifty years by this point, but one of the biggest is certainly the revolving cast. As it happens, the latest actor to express interest in taking on the lead role may just be perfect for the part.
This Christmas brought us the most beautiful Christmas between The Doctor and River Song. And, sadly, it looks like it's the last chapter in their story of love and conflicting timelines. Or is it?
Steven Moffat has been a part of the Doctor Who revival since it began in 2005, and has served as its showrunner for almost six years. Heres what he had to say about leaving the series.
Just as we were getting to know the 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi, he's dropped a hint that he might be ready to regenerate. Meaning that, once again, our love for Doctor Who could be turned upside down, and quite soon. Capaldi intimated as much in a recent interview.
While Doctor Who is an easy enough show to enjoy without the need for special preparation, it is indeed not a show to "Netflix and Chill" to. At least, that's the opinion of someone very close to the show - an opinion you can read within this very story.
River Song is returning to Doctor Who next week for the Christmas special The Husbands of River Song, and while her rapport with the Twelfth Doctor will no doubt be entertaining, shell be in for a big surprise when he jumps back into her life.
Peter Capaldi has always seemed like a pretty standup gentleman, and recently he was given the opportunity to visit a sick kid in the hospital who happens to be a huge Doctor Who fan. You can check it out, below.
The current Doctor is in a bit of a rough spot at the moment, however, as he is currently between companions. Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi hopes that his next companion will not be a man for a very specific reason.
In the Doctor Who finale, the truth behind quite a few mysteries is revealed - the greatest of which being the true identity of The Hybrid. Of course, even when faced with the truth, the rules of the universe, and plain old common sense, The Doctor will always be The Doctor.
At the beginning of Doctor Who's current season, The Doctor lost his trusty Sonic Screwdriver. Much to the consternation of fans of all walks, it looked like it was gone for good. But like Bed Bath And Beyond coupons, the Screwdriver is coming back and it's got some company!
Its no secret that The Hobbit and LOTR director Peter Jackson loves Doctor Who. Hes been so keen about directing an episode of the series in the past that he even took a meeting with Who showrunner Steven Moffat a couple of years ago.
Doctor Who has dealt with a huge question all throughout this season, and it's done so right under our noses. While the coming of The Hybrid was mentioned at the beginning of the season, it's been barely mentioned throughout the following episodes - until now.

Ask any group of people if they know what a provisional ballot is, and you'll probably get similar answers.
Provisional ballots are supposed to make sure no one who's eligible to vote is turned away on election day.
As long as you're in the right polling, you're entitled to vote even if your name isn't on the precinct register, even if you forgot your ID, and even if you requested a mail-in ballot but can't prove you didn't already mail it in.
You'll be asked to put your ballot in a special envelope. Elections officials will go through the envelopes after the polls close to see whether you are registered and whether your vote will count.
The law allowing you to cast a provisional ballot actually took effect two years ago. It gives elections officials an extra 36 hours to verify that you're eligible to vote.
Provisional ballots remain controversial and are already the subject of several lawsuits, but for now, know that you do have the right to vote if you're registered and provisional ballots are available if you need one.

Having abandoned their homelands in search of a future, homesick immigrants in America often sought and found solace by resurrecting their native cuisines in a new land. In Legacy of Four Cooks, Recollections of Ukrainian Home Cooking, author Jaroslawa Z Johnson shows how her immigrant family's ethnic food traditions were transplanted from western Ukraine to east Baltimore in the 1950s. The book's four cooks are her grandmother Yuliana Bulawka, her mother Raisa Zelinsky and her two aunts Hannah Yashchuk-Samutyn and Maria Bulawka. The book provides commentary and detailed descriptions for ninety-one Ukrainian recipes, as well as color photographs of each finished preparation.

LTAT accomplishes mission; Irwin Sustainers take control
May 27, 2009
By 3d Expeditionary Sustainment Command Public Affairs
DIYALA PROVINCE, Iraq - After working nine months with the Iraq Army's 5th Division, 3rd Line Regional Maintenance Company at Kirkush Military Training Base, the Logistical Training Advisory Team transferred the mission to several Soldiers from the 699th Maintenance Company here May 2.
The outgoing LTAT, consisting of 11 Soldiers from the 356th Quartermaster Company, 602nd Maintenance Company and 259th Combat Service Support Battalion, assisted the KMTB since July 2008 while working with Iraqi Army Soldiers to develop their Iraqi Army Regional Maintenance Company.
The KMTB LTATs constructed a 120-day training schedule for the IA Soldiers on maintenance practices while also obtaining parts from Taji National Depot to 3rd Line Maintenance according to their working operational procedures. However, the KMTB LTAT worked to achieve a normal operation while setting a work basis for their replacements.
The team was instrumental with ensuring over 4,350 lines of vehicle repair parts were processed, including former U.S. Army vehicles and a large, multi-national fleet of vehicles.
The 699th Maint Co. from Fort Irwin, Calif., has made progress continuing from where the outgoing LTAT mission ended. They had an integral role when 22 Iraqi Army Soldiers graduated from a 30-day class on transmission trouble-shooting.
Lt. Col. Shawn Daugherty, of Lacey, Wash., and 304th Sustainment Brigade operations officer, addressed the team saying "The LTAT is the best mission within the brigade. The LTATs are small, independent units, often in remote locations, in charge of their own destiny and work hand-in-hand with the Iraqi Army, and that's what this is all about. This is a tough logistical challenge and you (all) have done an outstanding job."
Both KMTB LTATs are examples of the brigade's motto, "Bridge the Gap...Sustain the Force" and demonstrated their ability to work while sustaining the force with the Iraqi maintenance program.

Pokemon Platinum Version
Question from nblasteroin
Where can I find heart scales?
I need Torterra to lean hammerarm.
7 years ago
You can find them in the underground, they're kinda rare. Also, i think there a few "invisible" ones around, like in rocks that have items in them but i don't remember where they are.
7 years ago
I think you mean Wood Hammer.
Heart Scales can be dug up Underground, found using the Dowsing Machine Poketch App (usually near beaches, shallow water, and shoals), or (if you have the National Dex) fish for Luvdisc (they hold Heart Scales 50% of the time) outside Pokemon League HQ using the Super Rod* and Thief/Covet them away.
* 60% chance of Gyarados (Level 30-55), 35% chance of Octillery (Level 30-55), 5% chance of Luvdisc (Level 20-30)
7 years ago
You can get heart scales from the guy in solacean town as long as you bring him the pokemons he wants to see.
7 years ago
Thanks for the reminder, jafar0892.
Heart Scales can be:
--Dug up Underground
--Found using the Dowsing Machine Poketch App (usually near beaches, shallow water, and shoals)
--Show the Manager at the Solaceon Newspaper the Pokemon he wants for the article and he'll give you one plus some random Pokeballs (Timer, Dusk, etc.)
--If you have the National Dex, fish for Luvdisc (they hold Heart Scales 50% of the time) outside Pokemon League HQ using the Super Rod (appears 5% of the time) and Thief/Covet them away.
7 years ago
Its is easy to find them when diging
7 years ago
Underground.... There are tons of them....
6 years ago
The best way is surely in Solaceon town where you can get heart scale on a daily basis. Just make sure you save before entering the house beside the pokemon center. Another place is route 209. You can find one just around the male tuber once you exit the hotel reception. Another, on her same route can be found near a fisherman standing south of the footprint checker house.

The Presidential Candidates: As of January, Only 26 of the 50 Political Parties Had Submitted the Names of Their Presidential Candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). of the 26, Seven Did Not Submit the Names of Their Presidential Running Mates. but of the 26 Presidential Candidates, Only a Few Have Name Recognition in Nigeria
Jason, Pini, African Business
Umaru Yar'Adua
--The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
The emergence of Yar'Adua as the PDP candidate caused so much disenchantment that his first act as a candidate was to visit aggrieved party members, particularly the state governors who were forced by Obasanjo to withdraw, in order to placate them.
The Katsina governor is touted as transparent and prudent with public funds. The PDP image-makers explain his emergence as an attempt to break the cycle of old politicians.
A former chemistry lecturer at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, he was reported to be preparing to return to his teaching job in 2007 when he was persuaded into the presidential race. Even as a governor, Yar'Adua was little known by the Nigerian populace outside his state.
Speaking at a press conference in January, the PDP candidate said he would make the Niger Delta problem one of his priority areas. With Goodluck Jonathan, an Ijaw from the Niger Delta as his running mate, he is likely to be well received in the Delta.
His other priorities are infrastructure, power and energy, areas that Obasanjo woefully failed to address during his presidential term.
However, with Buhari also coming from Katsina state, observers say it will be difficult for Yar'Adua to carry the entire North while Abubakar's influence in the North East may pose further problems for him. That may reduce his chances of being elected nationally.
Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu
--All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA
The charismatic, former Biafran leader was the party's candidate in the 2003 election and came third behind Buhari and Obasanjo the victor.
Ojukwu, who was a military governor of the former Eastern Region (now nine states) before the civil war, looms large in Nigerian history and represents Igbo resistance to what they call the marginalisation of the Igbo of the South East. Thus any vote he gets is a protest vote by the Igbo.
He is likely to make an appreciable showing in the election, especially given the way the PDP treated Igbo aspirants. However, the 2006 census makes the Igbo 'region' the least populated of the six geo-political zones with 16.4m people. The Igbo see this as a deliberate effort to further whittle down their number and consequent influence in Nigerian politics.
Apart from a grand vision of what he would do for Nigeria, Ojukwu's passion is to return the Igbo to their former position of pre-eminence in Nigeria.
Ojukwu's handicap is that his party has been embroiled in internal crisis since 2003.
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
--Action Congress (AC)
Eight years as vice-president would, in other circumstances, stand in favour of Abubakar but as Obasanjo's vice-president, this has proved to be his albatross.
Abubakar's had hoped to succeed Obasanjo as the next president, but he was muscled out of the party by Obasanjo after opposing his 'third term' bid. He has subsequently been adopted by the Action Congress (AC), an amalgam of political associations formed by those frog-marched out of the PDP.
AC thus is essentially a grudge party and Nigerians are saying: "if they had not been flushed out of the PDP, how different would they be?" Abubakar's candidature on the platform of AC has further compounded the crisis with his former party and boss. The PDP has labelled Abubakar 'a glutton for money', another way of alleging he is corrupt.
Abubakar's battles with Obasanjo and the PDP have revealed the former's wily political character. Many Nigerians have watched his political dexterity and survival instincts with interest. Although Abubakar has a policy blueprint articulated by some of Nigeria's best brains, his political troubles do not allow him to reveal them yet to the Nigerian electorate. …

Hey so I know this is ages away but I've decided to book the trip and I'm going solo. Is anyone else going or thinking about going on this trip around the same dates? Would be great to get to meet some people before I get to Australia and find out who is going.

Diaz won by body shot KO in 1 out of 25 Condit win by leg kicks in 1 out of 25 What about the other matches? I got Condit winning. Reply cms February 1, 2012 wow Condit's character looks really good! Nick Diaz's… not so much haha. I mean in regards to likeness of course. Reply Paulie WLNUTS February 1, 2012 Diaz by submission at round 2…the time…..4.20!!!!!!!! From London, but lived near Tracy so go to rep the 209!!!! Reply jake February 1, 2012 Wow the likeness of this game is pretty good. I never realized these Undisputed posts were AI predictions. I thought it was just someone playing the game and uploading their fight… Reply king February 1, 2012 would be cool if the game could replicate pitter-patter boxing Reply tobes February 1, 2012 4:20 of round 2. theres no way thats not deliberate haha Reply KouNTa KuLCHa February 1, 2012 @Big Papa – Most likely decisions. Diaz via sub at 4:20 in the 1st? Couldn't have picked a better time. Aye ohhhhhhhhhh! 😉 ♠ Reply SEAN_VANCE February 1, 2012 Diaz will win anywhere this goes Reply Bob February 1, 2012 A.I is right. Only way for Condit to win is via counter-punching catching Diaz with repeated big shots. Reply rza808 February 1, 2012 Lame…just a commercial really Reply 420rd2 February 1, 2012 hahahaha 420 in round 2. Reply spyder February 1, 2012 4:20 win time. Hell yeah! Reply julian moran February 1, 2012 Diaz by tko in round 2. Reply donkeyboner February 2, 2012 it would seem anything Carlos can do, Nick can do it better, we shall see though. back in the day Nick was talkin a bunch of shit about how Diego, the reality star didn't deserve to even be in the cage with him, and then Diego just out wrestled him, and KJ Noons outboxed him. He's not invincible. I'm pickin Nick, but Carlos is a game opponent. All it takes for someone with his abilities to win is a good game plan. Reply fightdontbefake February 2, 2012 @ donkeyboner so you think the deigo fight (decision, not stoppage) has any merit on nicks game plan now, if anything it made him better as he realized his wrestling was trash and needed better takedown D. The KJ noons fight was a doc stoppage, how was that outboxing him. Sure nick got hit but the fight wasn't over, then nick came back after that nasty eye cut, and beat noons. I have Nick in this one. But, at the end of the day, either of them that wins will make me happy, because whoever wins, will certainly give GSP his hardest matchup in a long time, I just think Nick is ready to be champ end of story, and by champ I mean someone who fights to fight, not fights to outscore someone.

Looks like Frankenstein vs Enrique Iglesias Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.
