i really like this product.
it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth without drying it out or making it oily.
i use this with the regimen instead of the acne.org cleanser and it's awesome
some people may say it doesnt really feel like it's cleaning the skin since it's so smooth and doesnt foam but i think it does since i havent had any acne
just in case though, i wash my face twice in a row to make sure it's really cleaning it
also, it's very cheap and you can buy it everywhere so thats nice :)
It doesn't treat acne, but is great for gently cleaning skin before using acne spot treatment. I have very sensitive skin and this feels great
By me having really bad skin. I constantly scratch my face a lot or try to pop the pimples instead. Which left ugly blackheads and black marks on my face. I lliterally hated the way I look but when using cetaphil it instantly made a glowing look and you can see how the acne or pimples go away or at least get way smaller
I used to use this product everyday for a year as my morning and night facial cleanser... it didn't dry out my skin and got rid of any excess oils. I didn't really find that helped me (personally) to keep acne away; it simply kept what I had from getting worse. If you want to get rid of acne, I suggest using something else. However, as a daily wash to get rid of oil build up, this is a great product!
I love that it has gentle ingredients and did not worsen my skin. It does what it is supposed to do and does not leave my face feeling tight or stripped. The faint smell reminds me of my medication I had as a young toddler for my breathing problems, not a bad thing though :). I just wish it didn't have SLS.
I'm a 28 year old male that has very sensitive skin. Between my teen years and to about 23 years old I had mild to moderate and fairly persistent acne. When I look back I think certain products (face washes bought at Boots etc) made it even worse.
Anyway my skin started to clear up for the most part when I was 25. At the time I was using something called Nivea For Men - Sensitive Face Wash. The old formula (which has now apparently been discontinued in the UK; the new one is baaaaad) worked fairly well. I then moved to Pakistan for a while and discovered one of the best face washes I ever used which is known as 'Saeed Ghani Cucumber Face Wash'. I then moved back to the UK and so unfortunately it was no longer available. I then started using something called 'BioEnergy Aloe Vera Bath Gel'. This is in fact hands down the single best face wash (well, 'technically' a 'bath gel') I ever used in my life but unfortunately it was a hotel, single serving bath gel. Can you believe that? A simple hotel product was the best face wash I ever found, despite all the nonsense and marketing they have on mainstream OTC products.
I tried going back to the Nivea for Men Sensitive Face Wash once the BioEnergy had finished but I learned that they had changed their formula and it broke me out. Dismayed, I tried a whole other bunch of products from shops and they all broke me out. Believe me, it wasn't just my skin being bad on its own, it was the products themselves. I even tried a product that gets recommended often: 'Olay Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin' and that also broke me out.
I didn't think anything was gonna work so I went back to plain old Palmolive soap. I don't break out with soap but the flipside is it makes my skin irritable and dry, all reddish looking. Not nice.
So on a whim I decided to order Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser online and thank God it actually works. I've been using this product and since I've started I am again, at last, completely break out free. I don't think this product will take your acne away if you get it regardless of the products you use, but if your skin is anything like mine, it won't aggravate your skin and make it worse. My skin is dependent on the product entirely. Many things break me out but this one doesn't and so I'm finally clear again.
There is one con however. I get a very very mild burning sensation when I use it in the shower. It's extremely mild but I do definitely get it. I still give this product five stars though because so many other crappy ones break me out so now that I've finally found something that works again it feels like a godsend. You should remember however that skin is very subjective, of course. Just because this worked for me doesn't mean that it will necessarily work for you. From my experience this is the third best face wash I've ever used. You can see them below:
1. BioEnergy - bath gel - aloe vera (Only available at some hotels!)
2. Saeed Ghani Cucumber Face Wash (Pakistan only)
3. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
4. Nivea Sensitive Face Wash for Men (OLD formula only; discontinued in the UK)
Hope this helps! Good luck!
UPDATE: I'm sorry but it seems I kind of jumped the gun with this product. I see from the review that I wrote this on September 25th, and I've been using the product for a full month now. Unfortunately I also break out with this product. The reason why I was so amazed by it at first was because it was definitely an improvement on what I was using before it, but sadly I still break out with this, just not as much. I really wish i still had access to Saeed Ghani Cucumber wash or that amazing 'BioEnergy' hotel product.
Oh well, back to the drawing board in search of something that works...
Overall an ok product because it has only a few ingredients and I did not have a bad reaction to it but at the same time I did not feel like it cleaned very well so it's just ok.
I have severe Cystic jawline Acne, many soaps and so called Acne Cleanser just made my acne worse, then I finally found Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and WOW! No irritation left behind at all! It won't cure acne, but it will help prevent new acne, while soothing the skin, oppose to attacking it. A must buy for somebody looking for a nice gentle cleanser for their face.
This is one of the best cleansers that i have ever used and i have been using it since then. It cleanses my pores deeply and yet it doesnt leave my skin too dry or oily. I would definitely recommend this because it is a REALLY gentle cleanser that doesnt cause breakouts AT ALL!!
I found that my previous cleanser was way too harsh on my skin. I was red, itching, and flaking. I started using this product twice a day in combination with my BHA lotion and my skin looks so healthy. I don't recommend this product for clearing up acne (although it does NOT cause acne), but if you are using other products that contain SA or BP and are just looking for something that will hydrate and gently cleanse your skin, this is a great purchase. It also does not remove makeup. I wear makeup almost everyday, so I just use makeup removing wipes prior to washing my skin, and it works out just fine.
Great buy if you want something gentle and use in combination with a toner and BHA!

Meeting the love of your life so you can start living is a common theme for dating via internet. The days when an appropriate exchange of livestock between families meant a marriage are long gone. Modern couples can find choosing that special someone to be a daunting task and new ways to meet and get to know one another just mean our instincts are that much farther from our reality.
Eharmony.com and Chemistry.com both offer the occasional opportunity to communicate for free for a limited time . These websites offer lonely people the chance to meet compatible matches based on a series of questions about your own likes, dislikes and habits.
Can you meet the love of your life over a weekend?
The short answer is no. Free communication weekends are limited in order to prevent any exchange of personal information. Chemistry.com asks members to report anyone attempting to communicate outside the built in communication tools they have set. Eharmony.com, on the other hand, allows users to share information when they are comfortable but require members to pay before exchanging any genuine contact.
Photos are available on Chemistry.com without a paid membership at all times, Eharmony.com only allows paid members to view photos even on free communication weekends. Both sites make it difficult to get together in the real world, at least at first, and Eharmony.com users are given a warning that meeting over the internet can lead to heightened feelings of intimacy before sending out email.
One of the main goals listed on Chemistry.com is to have the first date feel like a second date. The communication process is very slow with the feel of tagging your grade school crush. The first step is simply clicking a button to announce interest. There is no breaking of ranks either, all contact follows the four step program set by the administration.
Eharmony.com claims to only show highly compatible matches. Since every match will supposedly have the values you chose as important choosing between matches starts to feel incredibly petty. If every match is a good one the decision comes down to things like who was th biggest influence outside of parents or which match has the best physical features. Communication is a guided process but members can choose to skip steps at any point.
Madison locals can expect to receive six to ten matches per day. Take the time to decide as you are matched or a week of matches will overwhelm you very quickly.
Both sites offer a chance to learn about yourself and a little self discovery can go a long way in finding the person who will be a good fit for the long haul. Feel free to get out and explore but don't hang your hopes of finding a soul mate on a few days of online dating. This is just a different method of meeting someone new and the more people you meet the better your chances of finding someone who will make you happy.

Brenda Z. Page is an attorney at Page Law Firm in Houston, Texas. She is a Republican currently running against John Faulk and Tex Christopher for Sheila Jackson Lee's seat in the 18th Congressional District in Houston.
She shares with voters her reflections on 2009 and looks forward to the 2010 election cycle and the future of her campaign, her state, and her country.
As we enter this new year, a year of hope and the promise of potential change, perhaps a look backward will help guide us on our path.
The year 2009 brought us news of a new president. One who, myself and others, believe has cost the American public much.
In 2009, we became over 12 trillion dollars in debt. This is up over 2 trillion from the Bush presidency and does not include the public healthcare bill looming in our future which threatens to add another trillion dollars to our debt.
In 2009, despite campaign promises to the contrary, Congress and the Obama administration closed its doors to transparency, denying the American public access to traditional conference committee processes and even to view legislation until less than 24 hours before a House vote.
In 2009, we had two terrorist attacks on American soil: Ft Hood and NW Flt 263.
However, as America's government seems to be moving the country further away from democracy, other nations appear to be moving further right, to become democracies.
In 2009, the American people renewed their patriotism and exercised their Constitutional rights. Conservative Americans (estimated at over 1 million people) marched on Washington DC to express their dissatisfaction with their government.
In 2009, the Honduran people ousted their President when he tried to change the Honduran Constitution. Hondurans had a right to oust their leader under their Constitution.
In 2009, the Iranian people went to the streets to rebel against tyranny and corrupt election practices. The incumbent leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has been widely criticized for a laundry list of bad acts, including human rights violations and his call to have Israel "wiped off the map" of Jerusalem (2005).
Page's website outlines her plan for good government and conservative values. You can learn more about Brenda Page, candidate, at Texas GOP Vote. You can also support her run against Sheila Jackson Lee.

Pappas was a second-team pick, and Moore was a third-team choice in the national vote by collegiate softball head coaches. Conference-wise, the Pac-12 featured 13 honorees among the 54 picks among the three teams.
The Mission Viejo, Calif., native Pappas became the first UO outfielder to be honored by the NFCA, and this week ranked top 80 nationally in batting (58th, .396), doubles (59th, 0.27 p/g), slugging (75th, .675) and stolen bases (79th, 0.36 p/g). The two-time All-Pac-12 First-Team honoree also ranked second this week in the Pac-12 in doubles (16), fifth in batting, sixth in stolen bases (21), seventh in slugging, eighth in on-base percentage (.486), and ninth in hits (65) and total bases (109).
The Sutter, Calif., native Moore is the fourth Duck hurler to receive All-America honors, and first since a pair of head coach Mike White's former pupils Andrea Vidlund (2003) and Ani Nyhus (2004). Moore ranks eighth nationally this week and second in school history in a season for wins (32). The repeat All-Pac-12 First-Team Pitcher also stood first in the league in innings (285.2), starts (44) and appearances (49), second in wins, and third in strikeouts with a school record 244.
Two weeks ago, Pappas and Moore were among four, first-team NFCA All-Pacific-Region honorees with junior second baseman Kaylan Howard and sophomore catcher Alexa Peterson, while sophomore infielders Courtney Ceo and Kailee Cuico added second-team nods. The Ducks were one of five teams nationally to land a maximum six all-region selections.
Oregon was equally lauded by league head coaches as 11 Ducks were tabbed to various All-Pac-12 teams. Moore and Pappas landed their second, All-Pac-12 First-Team laurels, and senior shortstop Kelsey Chambers and Howard earned their first All-Pac-12 Second-Team nods. Four other Ducks added honorable mention status – senior utility player Christie Nieto and Ceo, Cuico and Peterson.
Among other conference honors, outfielder Janie Takeda was tabbed to the All-Pac-12 Freshman Team, and outfielder Sara Goodrum and pitcher Karissa Hovinga were honorable mentions.
Looking ahead to Thursday night, UO (44-16) opens action in the WCWS in Oklahoma City against Arizona State at 6:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Oregon was 1-1 on the season against the returning national champion Sun Devils who placed second in the Pac-12 this year, ranked second nationally at the regular season's end, and earned a #3 seed in the 64-team NCAA Tournament field.
The winner of the Oregon-ASU game will meet the winner of Thursday night's #2 Alabama-#7 Tennessee game on Friday at 6:30 p.m. Pacific Time. The loser of those two opening-day games will play on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time.
Oregon's first and second games will be televised by ESPN2 and online at ESPN3, and broadcast on the radio in Eugene by KSCR (1320-AM). Every other game from the World Series will be televised live by various ESPN networks.
A complete schedule for the seven-day WCWS is available at the www.NCAAsports.com website, and an online bracket is available at the http://www.ncaa.com/brackets/softball/d1 URL address.
The Ducks are the sixth-highest seeded of the eight teams playing in the double-elimination format that includes #1 California, #2 Alabama, #3 ASU, #4 Oklahoma, #7 Tennessee, #11 Oregon, LSU and South Florida.
Oregon claimed its second WCWS bid (and first since 1989) after it beat #6 seed Texas twice last Sunday in Austin by 5-4 (8 innings) and 10-6 scores. Oregon is now 11-5 in the postseason under its third-year head mentor White. Its 44 wins this year ties for second-most in school history behind its 54 victories in its 72-game WCWS slate in '89.

Margaret Atwood talks to readers about sci-fi, storytelling and her third book in the MaddAddam series
I'm toying with a SF short story where Margaret Atwood gets cloned several million times and they compete with each other. deadendrite
Margaret Atwood: That cloned Atwood thing has already happened... Trogwate d'Amorda is one of them... writes pomo lit crit.
Margaret, which book are you most proud of? Middle_Innes
MA: I'm Canadian – we aren't allowed to be proud of achievements because we might get Puffed Up. ;)
Do you read comic books? I always think of The Handmaid's Tale, 1984 and V for Vendetta as my favourite books. DingILikeChips
MA: Mine was the comic book generation...
Why does sci fi lend itself to feminism? MrsJooles
MA: SF allows thought games in which usual social roles can be rearranged. Many have done this...
How important is convincing world creation in sci-fi? welovethisbook
MA: In any fiction, world created has to be consistent with itself. That's what constitutes "convincing" in SF.
Don't go into great detail describing places, unless you're @MargaretAtwood and can paint scenes with language. Elmore Leonard ByJamesPiper
MA: Elmore Leonard is such a gent. I enjoyed quoting him in Payback. And wrote review of him in NYRB.
I listened to The Year of the Flood as an audiobook. Does one get more or less by listening rather than reading? timhochban
MA: Reading vs listening? Which better? Depends on the reader/listener -- personal taste!
Curious, what got you into writing? Have you always wanted to write books or were you interested in print as well? Jessica Yeo
MA: Started writing very young, as described in Ch. 1 of In Other Worlds… began with flying rabbit superhero commix.
Are you planning to create any more novels in the world of Crake, Oryx and Toby? colebennett_
MA: Even as we speak, I'm writing MaddAddam... Toby is in it. :D
I heard you were writing a follow up for Oryx and Crake/The Year of the Flood, how is it coming along? JessieSyme
MA: Thanks for interest -- I'm on about p. 80 but have rewritten beginning several times (that's standard!). Zeb is eating a bear.
JS: So excited! Hope it all goes well :) I really do love the concept, so brilliant. Happy writing!
There's been a lot of debate recently about the lack of female sci-fi authors. Do you think this is deliberate selection? celesteosharp
MA: There many female SF writers. But many women writers seem less drawn to the form. More drawn to historical??
What is the one book you wish you had written? jessicayeo
MA: I wouldn't mind having written The Complete Works of Shakespeare. Or Wuthering Heights. Or Treasure Island. Or....
What are you looking at in your twitter photo? ByJamesPiper
MA: In my picture I'm looking at a Dream Machine; see John Geiger, The Chapel of Extreme Experience.
How do you get that level of characterization you have? Do you let characters develop themselves or do you do the developing? thejessfong
MA: Characters suggest things as you explore them, like real people. There's much beyond a first impression!
Wow, chatting with my fave author. You talked about delivery systems changing. Is Kindle good or bad? Though I would prefer a hard copy. zaksam zak sam
MA: Many readers like to have both paper and e versions -- e very good for travelling, for instance.
Did you make any conscious links to Chaucer with The Handmaid's Tale? P.S. Love teaching your work to students - thank you. rozmorton
MA: Yes, definite connection with Chaucer in the title of The Handmaid's Tale. (And thank YOU!)
Do you look back over your work and think you would write things differently now? serena1anne
MA: Yes, I'd write things differently now because I am sooooo muuuuch oooolder... But that was then eh?
LOVED Cat's Eye: depiction of childhood and bullying superb. Have you considered writing more about childhood? LisaFarrell3
MA: Thanks -- there is some more about childhood in Moral Disorder...
How do you know a novel is really finished? zoemavroudi
MA: You never know when a book is really finished. But it's the part where you say "I can't go on..."
What are you currently reading and what is your favourite book? lindsey_mp
MA: Currently reading Half Blood Blues; don't have only one favourite book!
Why do you hate men so much in your writing? pretzelboi
MA: Like which men? I recall both baddies and goodies in my work, though you'll find much worse men in writing by, um, men.
How do you see the future for books, now that papers are folding and people are more into social media than into reading? zaksam
MA: Oddly, after 2 years of downs, newspapers (in Canada) are way up this year. Reading too is up, though delivery systems are changing.
What will be the fairy tales of the future? faintlyfalling
MA: Dark, those fairy tales of the future. But fairy tales have always been dark.
You've earned & been blessed with a 'storybook' writing career. Any advice to emerging writers in today's publishing climate? MusiVision_Logo
MA: May look like storybook from the outside; from the inside, more like storybook woods with ogres in them... As for advice to emerging writers: it's tough right now. Time of change, old models not working. But explore all options. And you might like to view O'Reilly's Tools of Change, Atwood, Publishing Pie presentation on this subject. I gave in Feb.
Looking back over 20+ years, what do you think now of the film adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale? tobythepig
MA: I personally would not choose to hide out from people with helicopters in a red trailer on top of a hill. Just sayin'.
MA: Good byeee everyone -- Tx for your q's! Happy reading! M.
In Other Worlds by Margaret Atwood is out now, published by Virago. Photo courtesy of George Whiteside.

The Cheney High boys' basketball team dropped two more Great Northern League games last week, falling 63-41 in the home finale Tuesday against East Valley and 64-40 Thursday at Colville.
The Blackhawks hung with the Knights (6-5 GNL, 11-8 overall) throughout the first half, trailing at intermission by six, 24-18. In the final 16 minutes, however, Cheney's offense went south while East Valley's, led by J.T. Phelan's game-high 24 points, outscored the Blackhawks 39-23 for the win.
Cheney was led by Alex Berman's 14 points, the only Blackhawk in double figures, while sophomore Jamiel...

Mr. President,
A great Jewish sage once wrote, "The truth can hurt like a thorn, at first; but in the end it blossoms like a rose.
His words came to my mind today. His insight could really benefit many in this hall.
It takes a well of truth to water the seeds of peace. Yet, we continue to witness a drought of candor in this body's discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. On this historic day, real facts in the General Assembly remain few and far between.

The go-ahead covers clearing of propriety trading by US members that involves interest rate swaps, denominated in Hong Kong dollars, renminbi (RMB), US dollars and euros, as well as non-deliverable currency forwards, denominated in RMB, Taiwan dollars, Korean won and Indian rupee.
The no-action letter is effective immediately until the earlier of December 31st 2014 or the date when the CFTC registers OTC Clear as a derivatives clearing organisation (DCO) or exempts it from registration.
"We are very pleased to receive the no-action relief from the CFTC because it will allow us to admit our US founding shareholders and other eligible US persons as clearing members," says Calvin Tai, HKEx's Head of Global Clearing (Asia). "Our US founding shareholders have a significant role in the OTC derivatives market so this is a very important step forward for OTC Clear, which is a key part of our strategy to establish a strong fixed income and currency business as we expand into more asset classes.
"OTC Clear has also submitted an application to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to seek regulatory recognition that will allow the clearing house to accept financial institutions incorporated in the European Union as its clearing members," Mr Tai said.
Two of OTC Clear's 12 founding shareholders are affiliates of US banks. The founding shareholders together hold 25% of OTC Clear's shares and HKEx holds the remaining 75%.

If you are just starting an exercise program or want to take your current program to the next level, knowing what your target heart rate should be is not only important for your success but it can also be important for safety as well.
Start by calculating your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220 beats per minute (bpm). For an example, if you're forty years old your maximum rate will be 180 bpm (220-40).
Next, take into consideration your current fitness level. If you are just getting started, The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that you begin by exercising at 50% of your maximum. So a sedentary forty year old should maintain a level of about 90 beats per minute for the first few weeks of their program. If you have been working out for a while and want to step it up, do so gradually. Over time you can begin to target 80% or 85% of your maximum. Don't be impatient; it may take you six months to get to this point.
For most of us, a normal resting heart rate is 60 to100 bpm. Since our heart is a muscle it gets stronger and more efficient with use. Athletes typically fall within a lower range of 40 to 60 bpm, says Edward R. Laskowski, M.D for the Mayo clinic. Therefore taking your resting heart rate regularly is a great way to assess the impact your exercise program is having on your health.
You can take your heart rate or pulse by placing your three middle fingers at either your wrist or throat next to your windpipe. Count the beats for 10 seconds and multiply by six.
If you find that checking your heart rate several times during your workout becomes distracting, you may consider purchasing a heart rate monitor. Some models will even send a signal to your treadmill or stationary bicycle to display the rate on the machine's screen or on a wrist watch. Some models track your the heart rate over the course of your workout and then allow you to upload the results into a program on your computer to assist in charting your progress over time. There are a great many models out available at all prices, so you are sure to find one that suits your needs and budget.
Working out at too low an intensity won't lead to the results you want and working out at too high an intensity can lead to injuries. Monitoring your heart rate correctly is one of the easiest and most effective methods to be sure you are in the correct zone and getting the most of your workouts.

We all know, deep in our hearts, the horror stories and friendly stories alike that involve vampires and magic are only make believe. Vampires are a fabrication of someone's imagination. Magic's sole purpose is to practice "slight of hand," or deceive the viewer making them think that what is happening is real. In the best of these stories, good always triumphs over evil, even if the battle is prolonged and painful. So then, why does the Catholic Church teach us not to attend movies or read the novels about vampires and magic?
The answer stems from a priest's sermon during which he discussed the ownership of chocolate. He owns the chocolate; it does not own him, so he did not give up the chocolate as a physical mortification in a time of fasting and abstinence. He was comfortable in his ability to resist the temptation of chocolate.
Are we all so comfortable in our ability to resist temptation and believe that the stories about vampires – even "good vampires" - are just stories and not real? Can we always see the trick in the magic and not believe that it is real? Fantasy is a tremendous temptation. The Catholic Church teaches us to put temptation behind us and not to participate in stories of vampires and magic.
There is no such thing as a "good vampire." Based on commonly recognized make-believe stories of vampires, they are humans that are not alive, but will not die. They are inherently evil because they must kill to survive in their "undead" state. Good can triumph over evil, but it is not possible to bring good from evil.
The Columbus Catholic Connection: Looking for some great entertainment not involving vampires and magic? On Monday, September 6 come to the Labor Day Parade and Mass on the 400 block of East Rich Street, Columbus. The parade begins at 9:30 am leading to Mass at 10:00 am at Holy Cross Church, 204 S 5th St. Both events are sponsored by the Columbus metropolitan assemblies of the fourth-degree Knights of Columbus. For information call, 614-491-2751.

Kim Novak was slammed on Twitter after her startling appearance at the Oscars 2014, which is being referred to as "stiff" and "frozen" in looks today. It is too bad she has to experience this type of cruelty at 81-years-old.
According to Fox News on March 2, the jokes were abundant once Novak graced the stage. Ironically, she announced the Oscar win for the movie "Frozen," which was pointed out in the comment section of Fox.
Novak was a sex symbol over a half of a century ago and she has aged. Along with age comes changes and whether those changes were made by nature or those changes were made at the hands of a plastic surgeon, she deserves respect.
It was Novak's stiff movements and her struggle to speak that sent bashing assumptions of plastic surgery across the social media world. It could be that Novak has suffered a stroke in the past or she has some type of medical condition, which is what another person suggested who commented on Fox.
Granted, she did have the look of plastic surgery tightening the skin on her face. She was nowhere near as procedure blatant as Joan River's sometimes cat-like appearance, but she may have had some face enhancing plastic surgery.
If Novak's "frozen" appearance was due to plastic surgery people could have been kinder. Think what it must have been like for Novak, who was a sex symbol in her heyday and now decades later she steps out on stage again looking so much older. She was from the era where at 25, you were at the end of your career as a sex symbol.
Many would love to see the Hollywood icons age naturally, but the pressure remains too high to look youthful. It has come to a point where some of the elderly of tinsel town are emerging with a look of a new species, many with cat-like eyes and frozen lips.
Twitter was lit up with jokes on Novak's appearance and that was just cruel, after all, what viewers were seeing could be the symptoms of a medical problem. While it is more likely that the culprit of Kim appearing "stiff" was due to plastic surgery, she still deserved respect.
Steve Bush @BushSteve writes on Twitter:
"Anybody find the irony in Kim Novak announcing the Oscar win for frozen?"
Others took to Twitter to throw creative jabs Novak's way, but then there were some who defended the way she looked, as jg @JustinGlawe posts:
"For everyone making fun of Kim Novak, her walk was reminiscent of someone who has recently suffered a stroke."
If that was your grandmother, you wouldn't want her the brunt of the Twitter jokes that surrounded Novak last night.

Bidwell Mansion and CSU, Chico
On March 10, 1918, Annie Ellicott Kennedy Bidwell died in Bidwell Mansion, eighteen years after the death of her beloved husband, John. Annie willed the mansion to the College Board of the Presbyterian Church, but just before her death, Annie gave Bidwell Park to the city of Chico, just as John had wished.
All of the furniture in the mansion was left to Annie's grandniece because Annie and John never had any children. Annie's grandniece sold many of the items to an antique dealer from San Francisco, and the townspeople took some of the other furniture. Today, only about thirty percent of the original furniture is still present in the mansion.
Because the church did not have enough money to run a coeducational school, the state acquired the mansion for ten thousand dollars and added it to the California State University, Chico campus in 1923. The mansion was first used as a girls' dormitory. Alice Anderson and Mrs. Gail Paulson were the house mothers until 1926, when Miss Florence Ritchie became the house mother for two years. In the summer of 1927, a dining room was added to the north of the house, so all forty girls could eat together. Miss Gokey and Miss Rockwood were the succeeding house mothers, and in 1930, the screen was removed from the porches on the second floor to allow more light into the house.
By the fall of 1932, the mansion was being used for a boys' dormitory. After two years, the house was left vacant for a whole semester. Then, in 1935, Miss Ritchie began a catering service in the mansion, and resided there with her daughter for eighteen months. Soon after, the entire Home Economics portion of the college held its classes there. At one time, the Art Department also moved into the mansion.
The Mansion Restoration Association (now the Bidwell Mansion Association) was formed in 1960, and on January 20, 1964, ownership of the mansion shifted from the college to the California Department of Beaches and Parks (now California State Parks).
Brianna ended our tour on the note that, beginning in 1966 and continuing until this very day, ongoing restoration of the mansion and its grounds has been taking place to correctly imitate the Bidwell era. When you take your tour of Bidwell Mansion, you will soon realize how much has gone into the renovation of the house of John and Annie Bidwell and what their lives were really like. The mansion is one place where one is able to escape from our modern world and back into time; you are able to feel what it was like to live in Chico more than a century ago.

BlackBerry Storm 3 and Curve 3 to join the Droid 2 on Verizon?
Verizon has yet to officially announce or confirm the Motorola Droid 2, but the smartphone is surely coming soon to the largest US carrier to make a great pair with the Droid X, and to replace the original Droid.
Two new images of the Droid 2 have appeared over at Engadget, and although they unveil nothing new, they're proof that the new QWERTY Droid is out there. Reportedly, it will be released in August.
If you want a new smartphone from Verizon, but not on Android, it seems that the carrier is also getting ready to launch the BlackBerry Storm 3 and BlackBerry Curve 3 (sometime before the holidays). The Storm 3 might be a different version of the AT&T-bound 9800 slider, while the Curve 3 could be the 9300, or something alike.
It's said that Verizon will also introduce a 10.1 inch tablet, which could be Android-based, or made by RIM (or none of the two).

Operators of six grain export terminals — including United Grain Corp.'s facility at the Port of Vancouver — struck an aggressive tone Thursday in giving union dockworkers until Dec. 8 to accept their "last and final offer."
In a statement emailed to The Columbian by Pat McCormick, spokesman for the Pacific Northwest Grain Handlers Association, the group said it's offering the International Longshore and Warehouse Union increases in "an already generous wage and benefit package" in exchange for changes in work rules similar to what the ILWU agreed to in separate contracts hammered out previously between employers and members at shipping terminals in Longview and Kalama.
The group said "it's puzzling why the ILWU won't agree to apply the same terms to" the six Columbia River and Puget Sound grain-terminal operators it represents. The group also criticized the union for using what it says is "inflammatory language" in media reports of the dispute, including "erroneously" portraying the group's offer "as a rejection of the union's safety code."
The ILWU fired back in a statement of its own issued by Jennifer Sargent, a union spokeswoman, who said "there are many factual errors in the grain monopolies' statement. Clearly, these multinational corporations are more interested in misrepresenting local workers than in negotiating a fair contract with them."
Sargent went on: "These grain monopolies are major recipients of American taxpayer subsidies and need to care about our regional economy and not just their own astronomical profits."
The groups' dueling statements Thursday were the latest salvos fired in a high-profile dispute that has intensified in recent weeks and threatened to slow or halt the shipment of billions of dollars worth of agricultural products. The Grain Handlers Association — a consortium of six Northwest grain shippers, including United Grain Corp. — and the ILWU are at odds over the terms of a new labor contract. The current one expired at the end of September.
In its statement, the Grain Handlers Association said the separate labor contracts secured in Longview and Kalama have given operators at those sites "a clear competitive advantage" over the six Columbia River and Puget Sound grain-terminal operators the association represents. The association said its primary goal in reaching a new agreement with the ILWU is "leveling the competitive playing field."
The union has said the terminal operators are pushing for too many concessions in an 80-year-old contract. It has also said that talks are not at an impasse, and that the earliest union members could vote on an offer would be Dec. 21 and 22.
Meanwhile, the governors of Washington and Oregon are monitoring the situation. Tim Raphael, a spokesman for Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, said Kitzhaber is in contact with Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire's office. "There is too much at stake with the region's fragile economic recovery to let this continue to escalate into either a lockout or a strike," Raphael said in an email to The Columbian.
The grain-terminal owners had made a "last, best and final" offer to the union with a midnight deadline Wednesday. They could have imposed that contract and locked out the dockworkers, who are also prepared to strike and to stage protests by boat and on land.
A strike or lockout would threaten the flow of agricultural products to international markets. The terminals export $10 billion of wheat, corn, and soybeans each year. They handle about 25 percent of U.S. grain exports.
Pay and benefits have not been the holdup during negotiations. Rather, the owners want to implement workplace rules they consider more advantageous.
Their contract offer contains numerous employer-friendly concessions, including letting employers go to court to end work stoppages immediately and allowing supervisors to perform work during health-and-safety disputes, or if the union hiring hall can't supply enough qualified grain handlers.
Concessions would also make it easier for terminal operators to hire non-union workers. The contract offer also says the "employer shall have the right to introduce new methods of operation without interference from the union."
The Grain Handlers Association proposes the work-rule changes for the grain shippers it represents at six terminals in Puget Sound and along the Columbia River: LD Commodities in Seattle and Portland; TEMCO in Portland and Tacoma; Columbia Grain in Portland; and United Grain Corp. in Vancouver.
The Northwest is not alone in its waterfront labor tensions.
Striking clerical workers and Longshoremen in Los Angeles have shut down much of the nation's two largest container ports, leaving berthed vessels waiting to be unloaded and other ships anchored offshore. Seven of the eight terminals at the Port of Los Angeles are closed, Phillip Sanfield, a spokesman for the city-owned facility, said yesterday. At the adjacent Port of Long Beach, three of six are closed, according to its website.
Bloomberg News contributed to this story.

(AP Photo/Steve Nesius, File) BY SHELDON MICKLES| Advocate sportswriter Comments NEW ORLEANS — Former Southern University All-American Aeneas Williams will have to wait at least one more year to be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Williams, a 14-year NFL veteran who played cornerback and safety for the Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams, made the final 10 from among a list of modern-era finalists for the second straight year Saturday. But he failed to get enough support from the 43-person Hall of Fame Selection Committee, which met at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, when the list was pared to five for inclusion in the Class of 2013. Selected Saturday from the modern-day finalists were guard/tackle Larry Allen, wide receiver Cris Carter, tackle Jonathan Ogden, coach Bill Parcells and defensive tackle Warren Sapp. Defensive tackle Curley Culp and linebacker Dave Robinson were elected as seniors nominees. Williams, a semifinalist in 2010 and '11 before moving up to the list of finalists the last two years, will get another shot at the Hall next winter when the committee meets in New York City the day before Super Bowl XLVIII. "I didn't make it in the Big Easy, so maybe I'll make it in the Big Apple," an upbeat Williams said of not being elected in his hometown of New Orleans. "I made the final 10 again, so I'm excited about that … no doubt. "There are a lot of guys on that committee who remember how I played the game," he said. "It's just pretty amazing to me to even be considered with some of the best to ever play the game." Williams was a member of the All-Decade team of the 1990s during a stellar 10-year stay with the Cardinals from 1991-2000 before finishing his career with the Rams from 2001-04. Williams, who turned 45 last Tuesday, was a three-time All-Pro pick who also was voted to eight Pro Bowls. An effective shutdown cornerback for 12 seasons before switching to safety for his final two years, he had 55 career interceptions — bringing nine back for touchdowns. He also returned three fumbles for scores. The ball-hawking Williams recorded an interception in every season but his last and had five or more in a season six times. His nine pick-sixes was tied for second all-time when he retired following the 2004 season. He also shared the NFL record for longest fumble return when he ran 104 yards for a score as a member of the Cardinals against the Washington Redskins on Nov. 5, 2000. While it wasn't enough to get him in this time, Williams said he was extremely happy for several of this year's inductees — including Allen, Carter, Ogden and Sapp — because they were contemporaries of his. "I'm really excited for Cris Carter because he's been waiting for awhile to get in," Williams said. "These are some of the greatest players ever at their positions, so it's a great class. "It's a hard decision for the selection committee and I applaud them for their work," he added. "It's a tough job, I'm sure. So I'm going to celebrate this class and hope we can celebrate (his induction) next year." The enshrinement ceremony will be held Saturday, Aug. 4 in Canton, Ohio, with the annual Hall of Fame Game, which kicks off the NFL's preseason schedule, set for the next night.

Testing season is now upon us, and social media is blowing up with parents outraged over the Common Core. I personally cannot go a day without seeing something on Facebook about how the Common Core is evil. The Common Core is developmentally inappropriate. The Common Core is making my child hate reading, hate school. The Common Core is out to get us all.
Let me help bring a little bit of perspective…and much needed clarification.
The Common Core Standards are just that, standards. They are statements indicating what students should be able to do by the time they graduate from high school in order to be able to meet the rigorous demands of college or the workforce. They are statements specific to reading, writing, language, and speaking and listening (i.e., "read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text"). They are translated into grade-specific expectations, again aligning that trajectory to college and career readiness.
(By the way, standards are not new. New York State attempted to level the playing field for all students across the state in this draft published in 1994.)
The standards do not tell teachers how to teach. They are the "what" to teach. It is up to every teacher, school, and district to determine the "how" to teach it.
Enter curriculum.
A curriculum is a set of materials or resources to help teachers teach to any set of standards. Every district has the prerogative to choose curricular materials. Some chose to use the state modules. Some chose to purchase new Common Core editions of their current textbooks. Some chose to rewrite their own district curriculum. These choices are district choices. So for those parents posting pictures of complicated math homework or questionable social studies materials on Facebook, that's not the evils of the Common Core. Those are district-chosen curricular materials they are using to teach to the Common Core Standards. See the difference?
It's obvious that many of the curricular resources out there today are questionable, for a wide variety of reasons. However, let's not keep using "Common Core" as a blanket statement and throwing so much hate at something meant to help our children learn and grow. Let's really look at the standards, think about how they will better prepare our children for life, and put more support behind helping our children reach them.

Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, who has frequently called for a local vote on light rail, has spent $31,500 of taxpayer money to ask Clark County taxpayers what they think about it.
In a flier mailed to residents all over the county this week, Herrera Beutler outlines her take on the controversial $3.5 billion Columbia River Crossing, including her belief that the Interstate 5 bridge must be replaced.
"Our current bridge is not adequate the question is, what kind of bridge do we need to replace it?" she writes.
She promises that if the Republican-backed American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act passes, it will include no increase in the federal gas tax and federal money to replace the I-5 Bridge.
Then, Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, turns to the subject of a sales tax increase to pay for light rail as part of the project. Repeating a message she's delivered often over the past year, she called on the C-Tran Board of Directors to hold a vote on the matter as soon as possible.
Larry Smith, the C-Tran board chairman and a Vancouver City Council member, said the vote will be discussed at the board's March 20 meeting. But, echoing the words of Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt, this year may not be the best time for a vote if ever.
A sales tax increase, if approved by the voters, would pay for $2.57 million a year in operations and maintenance of the extension of Portland's MAX light-rail line through downtown Vancouver to Clark College. (Additional money would go toward the operation and maintenance of a bus rapid transit line on Fourth Plain Boulevard.
"I am an advocate for a safe, affordable bridge across the Columbia River that meets our region's transportation needs," Herrera Beutler wrote at the top of a return-by-mail poll. "I also believe that the people in Clark County should get to decide through a vote whether they will pay more in taxes for light rail. What do you think?"
The poll's options (plus a space for an "other" answer) are:
• I agree that Clark County residents should have a vote on whether to pay for light rail as part of this project.
• We should move ahead on a new bridge without a public vote. We should be willing to pay what it takes to expand light rail into Clark County.
• We don't need a new bridge at all.
To return it to her Washington, D.C., office, residents must attach their own 44-cent stamp.
A state law requiring an expert review of the transportation agency's plans for high capacity transit means the soonest a vote could be held is November.
The C-Tran board passed a resolution in 2011 saying a vote would happen in 2012, and Smith, the board chairman, said Thursday the agency is still on track for such a vote.
"The board has been committed and is committed toward heading in the direction of that vote in November," Smith said. "That doesn't rule out whether this is the right time and right mechanism."
Smith noted that Herrera Beutler has not met with the C-Tran board or its executive director, Jeff Hamm, face to face and received an overview of the transit agency.
"What disappoints me a little bit is, I think she'd be working extremely hard to bring the revenue to pay for this bridge, to help pay for tolls and maybe even the maintenance of light rail."
Spokesman Casey Bowman said Thursday that the congresswoman's office has received thousands of calls and questions about the controversial megaproject, "so we know folks are following it closely."
The mailer and poll is intended to confirm whether Herrera Beutler's calls for a vote are in tempo with the community, Bowman wrote in an email.
"Jaime wants to know if her efforts to secure a vote are on the right track, and the best way is to ask citizens directly," Bowman wrote.

Autumn here in the UK not only signifies the golden glow of the late afternoon sun, but also the welcome return of British Photographic Exhibitions after their summer break.Shrewsbury Photographic Society were the first of five National Exhibitions to publish their results. I gained four acceptances at Shrewsbury, which all help towards me gaining myABPE distinction.
Havant Camera Club were next, three acceptances here, plus a much needed Highly Commend for Mud, Sweat & Glee. Awards are a much needed commodity, a minimum of 20 are required for a successful ABPE application.Next up was the Dingwall Camera Club Exhibition; another four acceptances, but no awards this time!
However, I did better in the Guernsey Salon; picking up a PAGB Silver Medal for Billy and the Kid! and an Honours Certificate for Forever Friends.The Bromsgrove Photographic Society Annual Exhibition was good for me too. Andy Capp was awarded a Judges Medal; Muddy Hell gained a PAGB Ribbon and Billy and the Kid! picked up a Commend. Newcomers to the BPE circuit; Yardley Photographic Society provided me with my 16th award since gaining my BPE5, this came in the form of a Commend for Living in the Past. I also managed eleven further acceptances bringing my acceptance tally (towards ABPE) to 91 acceptances (100 required), plus 16 awards (20 required).

TC TO EDWARD FITZGERALD ; 16 August 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430816-TC-EF-01; CL 17: 49-51
Scotsbrig, Ecclefechan, N.B. / 16 August 1843—
Dear Fitzgerald,
Your letter1 found me amid the mists, rain-tempests, slate-chasms and other intricacies of a Welsh tour, on which enterprise I had embarked some weeks before. I have now got home to my Mother's Cottage; heartily tired, meaning to rest here for a week or two, and see what will come of that. All sight of waterfalls and such like, almost all speech of men, shall be far from me for a while! I do literally nothing: I saunter along the slopes of the high grounds, wide grassy expanses, bare of wood, tenanted only by sheep which need no shepherd, where all is silent, in this noble Autumn weather, "as if Pan slept."2 At evening I can see the windows of Carlisle, twenty miles off, gleaming against the setting sun; and westward and southward an endless sea of mountains, not one of them speaking an impatient word to me;—and so I rove about, and like Alexander Selkirk, for the time being, am monarch of all I survey.3—
My purpose to visit Naseby holds firm as ever. Nothing is fixed with me as to movements farther, except that I do not return to Babylon till this month of August and its heats be over. If your projects continue firm, perhaps the end of your "six weeks" might almost suit the time of my return southward: in that case it would be right pleasant for me to pause at Crick, and spend a couple of days with you at Naseby; terminating my travels in a worthy manner.4 But it is not worthwhile to alter anything on my account: if you have not returned as I pass, we will wait for some other opportunity. Write, some time soon, how it is. I shall be here yet for a week or ten days; here or appointed to return hither.
Were my travelling faculty a shade better, I should be tempted to run up to Dunbar;5 and see if on the spot it were possible, what by all books and study it has never hitherto been, to form some rational conjecture about the manner of the Fight there. I went about a hundred miles out of my way to see Gloucester and Worcester,—and made mighty little of them when I did see them! The "crowning mercy" 6 I could only look at from Severn Bridge, with a poor labourer out of work for guide, who "wished to God we had another Oliver, Sir, times is so cruel bad!" I wished it too, but knew not where to find him. One wanders in vain over battlefields and antiquarian wrecks seeking the man; he is not here, he has gone to his place7—and has left Peel Russel and compy behind him.8
Spedding's Brother wishes me over to Skiddaw and his Lake Country which is about forty miles off. It is uncertain whether I shall be equal to going. The charms of sitting still are great! Yet Thomas Spedding is a chief favourite of mine; I sit not still without regret. James S., it seems, is shooting partridges in Yorkshire, and shortly expected at his Brother's.
As to the Picturesque, I have been dreadfully annoyed with it ever since I left home. Not properly with it, for I rather like big rocks, high mountains, swift rivers, etc, as I suppose all mortal men since the beginning of the world have done; but the eternal cackle and babble about it from all persons, even sensible persons, in these times, is truly distressing to me. It is like a human being uttering to me, "Cuck-oo! Cuck-oo!" With a tongue that might speak real words. Far more shocking than you think!— This among other things attracts me rather to these bare solitudes: the grand meaning of them too is that God Eternal made them, that they are still solitary of all but the needful four-legged sheep!
Well; I bid you enjoy the Green Island,9 I bid you pray daily you could cure what is ragged and awry in it, by Repail or otherwise; 10 and forget not to say when you are leaving it.
Yours in hope of meeting,
T. Carlyle

How to Get More Foreplay
STEP 2: Stroke his...ego.
Lead into your request by pointing out what he does right, as in, "I enjoy it so much when we're hugging and kissing...." Or if the caresses are in progress, say, "This really turns me on." Avoid negative comments ("Why won't you try such and such?"). And stay away from the word you when talking about what you want, says Hilda Hutcherson, M.D., author of Pleasure: A Woman's Guide to Getting the Sex You Want, Need and Deserve; that way, you're less apt to sound as if you're blaming him for a so-so sex life.
STEP 3: Tell him what you want.
And when you do, bookend each request with praise, says Lou Paget, author of The Great Lover Playbook. Start with a positive: "Oh, it's so good to be with you." Then, present your request (phrased with let's to create a we're-in-this-together feeling), such as, "Let's go really slow tonight." After he grants your sexy wish, give the reinforcement: "Mmmm, that feels really good" or "That makes me so hot."
You can also frame your request by saying, "You were doing something the other day that felt great...." It's okay to fudge a little here, says Paget, even if he wasn't exactly on target; you'll just build on his previous accomplishments. Once you refresh his memory — he was kissing your breast, perhaps — he'll be eager to repeat his success. Then simply move his hand (men never mind this, Paget says) and use one word at a time: "Slower." "Left." "Up." And give some of that aforementioned reinforcement. Even just breathing loudly is good. As Paget says, "Breath is a whole language in the bedroom."
STEP 4: If all else fails, stroke his ego again.
What if, despite your best diplomatic efforts, he seems hurt by your suggestions or reluctant to try them? First of all, don't get negative or resentful — that's like giving up when you're halfway across the tightrope, says Hutcherson. Be brave and positive just a bit longer, remembering that carrots always work better than sticks. Try this: "I think you're so sexy, and there are times when you turn me on so much. I think I could show you a whole new side of me sexually if you can be patient with me."
A whole new side of you sexually? Oh yeah, that'll definitely get his attention.

This is a gorgous wedding gown. The dress is new with the tags on the dress.
This dress has never been worn (except when I initially tried it on, of course). The wedding ended up being called off, and the dress has been in my closet in its Winnie Couture's garment bag ever since. I didn't want to deal with anything related to the wedding, and then I basically forgot about it until I recently decided that even if I am not wearing it, it is too beautiful to never be worn!

A planet at the farthest reaches of human colonisation. A planet needed by humanity for its irreproducible biotechnology. An exo-terran species whose goodwill is needed in trade negotiations, but whose language is so difficult to mimic that human "ambassadors" are genetically bred for the task. This is the setting for Miéville's latest mindblowing examination of the perils of human contact with The Other. —Recommended by Jeff, City Lights Books
China Miéville doesn't follow trends, he sets them. Relentlessly pushing his own boundaries as a writer—and in the process expanding the boundaries of the entire field—with Embassytown, Miéville has crafted an extraordinary novel that is not only a moving personal drama but a gripping adventure of alien contact and war.
In the far future, humans have colonized a distant planet, home to the enigmatic Ariekei, sentient beings famed for a language unique in the universe, one that only a few altered human ambassadors can speak.
Avice Benner Cho, a human colonist, has returned to Embassytown after years of deep-space adventure. She cannot speak the Ariekei tongue, but she is an indelible part of it, having long ago been made a figure of speech, a living simile in their language.
When distant political machinations deliver a new ambassador to Arieka, the fragile equilibrium between humans and aliens is violently upset. Catastrophe looms, and Avice is torn between competing loyalties—to a husband she no longer loves, to a system she no longer trusts, and to her place in a language she cannot speak yet speaks through her.
