New guidelines for self-driving vehicle laws have been proposed in a Jan. 6, 2014, report by researchers at the RAND Corporation led by James Anderson, a senior behavioral scientist at RAND..
The study was inspired by the 500,000 mile accident free record of Google's driverless vehicle as of March 2013 and included the input of insurance agencies, automobile manufacturers, state regulatory agencies, and communication companies.
Self-driving vehicles were found to reduce the number of accidents by at least 33 percent, provide transportation for people that are physically incapable of driving cars, and to reduce traffic congestion in cities.
Driverless cars may also increase the amount of driving that people engage in and produce the need for higher levels of road repair.
The major problem in accepting self-driving vehicles is the variation in laws that already exist in some states and that are proposed in other states that involve driverless vehicles.
The researchers argue for a national policy that considers the time frame involved before driverless cars are completely available at a cost that most people could be able to afford, the reconstruction of distracted driving laws to accommodate driverless vehicles, and clarification of insurance coverage for driverless cars. The researchers also stress the importance of computer systems that cannot be hacked in driverless vehicles.

TODAY reports on March 7 that Lindsay Lohan made quite the splash on the Tonight Show. Lindsay Lohan and Jimmy Fallon decided to go against one another in a game of Water War. Water War puts a spin on the classic card game War, making it involve throwing water at the person whose card is lower. Ultimately Lindsay Lohan was the winner after winning all but one round. During the first round Jimmy Fallon pulled an 8 to Lindsay's 7. He was hesitant to throw water on the young actress but she kept yelling for him to "Just get it over with." Before he threw the ice cold water at her he told her "you must know I love you!" However, after the next 4 rounds Jimmy Fallon left the stage soaked from head to toe.
Jimmy Fallon was wondering how everything went in her favor for the last 4 rounds. Lindsay Lohan had a simple explanation for her luck, "I have O on my side." The "O" stands for Oprah Winfrey. But Lindsay didn't stop by the show to drench Jimmy Fallon; she stopped by to promote her reality series that premieres on OWN this upcoming Sunday.
CBS News reported on March 7 that Lindsay Lohan mentioned to Jimmy Fallon that there might be a Mean Girls reunion. Back stage of the Tonight Show Lindsay ran into Tina Fey who co-wrote the screen play Mean Girls with Lohan. Mean Girls hit theaters in April of 2004. Fey told Lindsay that she has been talking to Lorne Michaels from NBC about possibly setting something up. Lindsay Lohan expressed her excitement about the possible reunion and added "this needs to happen."

Allen, Culver paying immediate dividends for Dolphins

|This is what is so promising/frustrating about Allen. He came on strong last year when he finally made it on the field making a couple of huge plays (and a couple of others that were negated by penalties) Then once he finally gets on the field this year, the number of big plays against the Dolphins D has already dropped off, and he got his first Int this year. I hope he can stay on the field and make the plays.
|Culver has looked like a playmaker since he first stepped on the field. Don't be surprised to see him starting next year especially since Renaldo Hill sucks.
|sorry, but I don't buy this one. Culver is mediocre at best...which doesn't say much because he's probably the best they have in the secondary next to Bell. Allen, well, even a blind squirrel will find a nut every once in a while. He is not consistent, doesn't watch the breaks on the receiver, constantly gets burned from the backside, can't cut-off deep routes, always fooled on bump and runs.....the Brandon Marshall 70 yard TD callback was one he got away with. He was completely fooled on that play. I can go on, but the point is that this secondary is weak and quite lucky if they don't get smoked again before the season is out.

Coach Neuheisel Post-Game News Conference.
EUGENE, Ore. - Despite a season-high in passing yards, UCLA dropped its first Thursday night game since 1993, losing to No. 1 Oregon at Eugene.
The Bruins are now 2-2 this season versus teams ranked in the Top 25.
Playing without starting quarterback Kevin Prince (knee), leading receiver Nelson Rosario (ankle), kick returner/receiver Josh Smith and starting F-back Morrell Presley, UCLA started strong, driving into Duck territory with the opening possession before an interception halted the scoring threat.
Defensively, the Bruins were without starting cornerback Sheldon Price and lost middle linebacker Patrick Larimore in the first quarter with a dislocated left shoulder.
True sophomore quarterback Richard Brehaut, making only the second start of his career, completed 16 of 23 passes for 159 yards and scored a touchdown on a six-yard run. His passing yardage was a season high for the Bruins.
Redshirt sophomore running back Johnathan Franklin led the Bruins with 69 yards and maintained his ranking as the No. 2 rusher in the Pac-10. Tight end Cory Harkey made a career-high four receptions.
Defensively, true junior free safety Rahim Moore and redshirt junior cornerback Courtney Viney, making his first start of the year, led the team with eight tackles each. Moore had one tackle for loss while Viney broke up two passes. True junior strong safety Tony Dye, tied for the team tackle lead on the year, added seven stops and also broke up two passes.
Senior place kicker Kai Forbath kicked field goals of 25 and 48 yards. He now has 82 career field goals, just three shy of the UCLA career record of 85 and just five shy of the NCAA mark of 87.
UCLA returns to the Rose Bowl on Oct. 30 when it hosts Arizona at 12:30 pm. The game will be televised nationally by Fox Sports Net (Prime Ticket in Los Angeles).

Acrobatic Tumble: Serious Flaws in Adobe Reader 8.1.2
Adobe cautions in an advisory against a whole series of flaws in Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Most of them also affect Linux.
Adobe provides new packages for 8.1.3 to react quickly to the problem, mainly discovered by iDefense Labs and the Zero Day initiative. You can get the complete security bulletin here.
The advisory affects a number of CVE numbers dealing with vulnerabilities mainly from attack from special code in PDF data, causing a potential system crash and even yielding control of the system. Fortunately no cases have yet been recorded. The CVEs are:
The CVE-2008-4816 should affect Windows only, but CVE-2008-2992 has been known since July of this year and involves format attacks using the util.printf() JavaScript function.
Few distributions provide Adobe Reader in their repositories because it isn't free software. They usually refer to the Adobe download site that provides RPM, Debian and tar.gz installers. Users should pull in the newest version indicated, although Reader 9 isn't included for Linux.

Don't bother with Adobe ReaderAdobe Reader is pure bloatware, xpdf or other readers do the same and are orders of magnitude faster and more lightweight.
I can confirmI have seen this occuring, but thought it was the same old ld-linux.so issue, that adobe seems to think they've fixed.
The long and short of it is, I've removed adobe pdf reader, and use kpdf which seems to be a lighter-weight solution with more functionality anwyay.

The feeling of having to give up sweets and delicious desserts is terribly depressing for many people who are choosing to eat healthy. For vegetarians, vegans and those choosing to eat raw, it almost seems, at first thought, impossible to have those old favorites like pies, custards or candies stripped from your menu but all is not lost.
If you follow the raw foodies blogs, shows and websites, you will see that there has been an expansion of creative alternatives to the traditional pies, ice creams and candies that we often crave when that sweet tooth rears its head...uhh tooth. Not sure where to go with that but you get my drift. We could explore all of the wonderful nutritional aspects of eating raw and vegan desserts but what one really wants to know is, "Is this raw dessert as delicious as my traditional favorites?"
You may be shocked to know that you can find many tasty raw desserts available at your local health food shops and you should look for more raw "bakeries" to pop up as the public demands a tasty, natural, healthy alternative to the over sugared, floured, preserved treats we are use to. You will be pleasantly surprised to see what type of ingredients are being used as close replacements to things like crust, creams, butters, milks and other ingredients that are heavy on processed sugars and chemicals.
*I must add that many raw desserts may substitute nuts for things like flour so if you have nut allergies, please inquire about ingredients before eating a raw dessert. *
There have been many companies online and showcased on food shows but these places were so far away and many of those companies services a limited geographic area. Wondering if you can get some of these yummy raw desserts in Washington, DC? Well, wonder no more. You will be happy to know that you can buy raw desserts in DC and here are a couple of places you can go for delectable raw treats that will make you wonder why you haven't chosen raw desserts before now.
- Totally RAWganic (est. 2013) is a new favorite for raw desserts in DC. A "locally-run small business serving organic, raw, vegan and mostly gluten-free desserts" to the Washington Metropolitan area. This company displays that raw desserts don't have to be boring or flavorless with yummy treats such as their Strawberry Shortcake, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies and their Donut Holes. You can also go to their website at www.totallyrawganic.com to see where you can pick up these tasty treats around DC.
- Elizabeth Gone Raw in NW DC is a great place to get raw dishes, and maybe a little wine while you're at it.
Another way to enjoy raw desserts: DYI
In addition to buying raw desserts from local shops, it is surprisingly simple to duplicate a raw dessert these days with the internet a-buzzin' with so many raw food sites that make recipes and video demonstrations available 24 hours, seven days a week. Some favorites of mine are the following:
- Raw. Vegan. Not Gross - Chef Laura Miller, of Sidesaddle Kitchen, entertains with her real life perspective to eating raw on the Tastemade Youtube show. (I'm sort of obsessed with Laura's videos. She makes very interesting dishes.)
- Rawmazing - Susan Powers, a trained sommelier, shares her story of her background with food and wine and how she became a raw foodie. Her blog and recipes are breathtaking and it's exciting to see the varied recipes to try.
Even if you aren't a raw foodie, vegetarian or vegan, sometimes it's just nice to treat your body to good stuff. You may find some new favorite desserts around the just around the corner.

REFUSED: Poetry Written In Gasoline
A retrospective look into the scene shaping work of the seminal Swedish band
In 1998 a Swedish hardcore band called Refused released their third and what was to prove their final studio album The Shape of Punk to Come. Despite being lavished with praise amongst circles in the punk underground, the album largely slipped unnoticed, underneath the radar of the mainstream music press at a time when the nu-metal behemoth was beginning its ominous rise, and was dismissed on the underground scene by some purists for straying too far from the strict hardcore rulebook. After close to seven years of increasing inner tension and ideological conflict, after touring the album the band called it quits. The music world barely batted an eye-lid at the announcement.
Fast-forward to 2005 and Refused songs are played every weekend in rock clubs the length and breadth of the country, The Shape of Punk to Come' is widely heralded as one of the most important punk-rock albums ever recorded. A veritable who's who of rock music today are lining up to name drop them; from stadium giants Metallica, Foo Fighters and Sum 41, to the UK's very own Muse, Hell Is For Heroes and the recently departed Million Dead, who even named themselves after a Refused lyric. It seems everybody who is anybody is going out of their way to pay tribute to the band.
2004 saw their old record label Burning Heart re-release three of their albums and soon their long delayed retrospective DVD Refused are F*cking Dead will be upon us. So now is as good a time as any to scrape away all the bullshit and mythmaking that surrounds the band, look at the legacy they left us and examine what's exactly happened in the last seven years to lift a group of disbanded far-left leaning Swedes from relative obscurity to being one of the most influential bands on modern rock music.
Refused, 'Coup d´Etat'
Refused, 'Crusader of Hopelessness'
Listening back to these tracks today, one of the most interesting and significant aspects of their evolution at this time is the shift in lyrical content, with Lyxzén abandoning more personal themes and moving towards the political. From seething anti-capitalist rhetoric to venomous tirades on social oppression, it's territory that in time would come to define the band to many, and open the minds of many a young person around the globe.
With the finally settled line up of David Sandström, Dennis Lyxzén, Kristofer Steen and Jon Brännström, 1996's Songs to Fan The Flames of Discontent was where Refused fully began to craft their own distinctive sound, and in turn, to catch the attention of punk, hardcore and metal fans across the UK and mainland Europe. Many consider the album to be Refused's year zero, given it was the first time the "classic" line up had written together, with David Sandström himself admitting that the group almost consider this as their first album.
In late 2005 we're swamped week in, week out with identikit hardcore bands blatantly pillaging the latter day Refused sound, using the album as a blueprint to success. So it's a testament to its quality that despite its many imitators, nine years on from its initial release Songs to Fan The Flames of Discontent still sounds like such a remarkable, pure and vital album. Undoubtedly Refused's most aggressive and metallic material, it's the sound of protest music at its very fiercest.
Refused, 'Worms of the Senses'
After a heavy bout of touring, the band became increasingly frustrated and tired of the insular thinking and hypocritical actions of the punk scene. In late 1997 Refused decamped for eight months with the now renowned producers Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lövström, to begin working on what was to become their definitive release.
"We made this album wanting to challenge people's preconceptions of what a Punk band could be and what it could play, because Punk is the most conservative musical form there is. Even in Hardcore, there are so many rules about what is and what is not acceptable, and that completely negates the whole spirit of the original idea." Dennis Lyxzén, Refused.
The fact that the inlay sleeve of The Shape of Punk to Come contained an introductory essay attempting to explain their evolution should go some way to illustrating the full extent to which the band so daringly overhauled their sound. Explosive opening track 'Worms of the Senses/Faculties of the Skull' sums up everything that's both stunning and yet utterly bewildering about the album. Mixing spoken word, hardcore, traffic and radio samples, electronica and techno; on paper these components appear to make a complete mess, but in reality when it's pumping out of your speakers at full volume, it works magnificently, augmenting as many ideas into one song as many bands manage in their entire career.
Every one of following 11 tracks are equally spectacular, all offering something totally unique from the others, each a piece that complete the overall jigsaw. Similar in one sense to Radiohead's opus OK Computer, what are stunning tracks individually combine and sound even more compelling when heard in their full context. From the freefall jazz drop outs of 'The Deadly Rhythm' to the quiet / loud floorfilling perfection of 'New Noise' to the string soaked 'Tannhäuser/Derivé', the eight minute long eastern-tinged soundtrack to the most epic Ang Lee movie never made. Very few bands have attempted to utterly smash boundaries as Refused did and as a result The Shape of Punk to Come genuinely stands out as one of the 1990's most pioneering and challenging records. Quite simply, in a genre that is constantly evolving and re-inventing itself, The Shape of Punk to Come has no equals.
Refused, 'Rather Be Dead'
Inner tensions were perpetually hinted at, especially within the inlay of The Shape of Punk to Come and in the midst of a seven week US tour, the band cancelled the remaining shows and announced their split. To this day the band members have rejected all the offers to speak to "disgusting journalists whose only aim is the selling of issues and the cashing in of paychecks", having reportedly turning down the cover in Alternative Press (The biggest rock magazine in the US) last year, and have gone on to in all intents and purposes, disown their swansong release.
Officially their last statement claims that Refused broke up because of their disgust of how music is always categorised, dumbed down and turned into commodity, going on to claim that with four separate projects they would be able to reach more people than one single entity ever could. Of course such a statement was always going to raise a few eyebrows, and in this day and age, where internet messageboard help spread rumours around the world at the click of a mouse button, the reasons behind their demise certainly didn't avoid speculation. From certain band members having difficulty keeping up the with increasingly complex nature of the music to a widening void in their political philosophies; no stone was left unturned by people wildly speculating from the safe faceless anonymity that the internet provides. Certainly the fact that, without their lead singer, Sandström, Steen and Brännström went on to release an extremely experimental album together under the moniker of TEXT, comprised of post The Shape of Punk to Come material before disbanding completely, certainly does little to quell these rumours.
Refused, 'Tannhäuser/Derivé'
Today David Sandström is a key member of The Facer and also works on solo material; Kristofer Steen has been heavily involved over the last couple of years in the development of the aforementioned DVD; Jon Brännström is working on a project called Jon F Kennedy; meanwhile Dennis Lyxzén greatly divides fans opinions by fronting the decidedly more commercial sounding garage-punks The (International) Noise Conspiracy and has also released a trio of solo albums under the guise of The Lost Patrol, renamed The Lost Patrol Band earlier this year.
There's no denying the fact that Refused have undoubtedly become something they'd always have hated, a seminal band much like Fugazi, who due to their fabled ethics and sub-cultural significance have become a credible name to drop by musicians, lazy journalists and scensters. As they so eloquently in their final press statement, "When people are being praised as geniuses and idols just because they play music... We will never play together again and we will never try to glorify or celebrate what was. All that we have to say has been said in our music/manifestos/lyrics and if that is not enough you are not likely to get it anyway." Elaborating at the end of the statement that they would no longer give interviews "...So that we will no longer be tortured with memories of a time gone by and the mythmaking that single-minded and incompetent journalism offers us."
Even though other great acts like Botch, Husker Du, Drive Like Jehu and Far have similarly gone on to receive substantially more critical acclaim, and not to mention, commercial recognition since their demise, Refused's rise to prominence is something else, on several grounds. While it's been proven time and time again that it's difficult, if not impossible to be sufficiently subjective about an album when it has only been released relatively recently (just take a look at every music poll the great British public are ever responsible in voting for) but with The Shape Of Punk To Come Refused made an album much like The Beatles and Nirvana were famed for producing; an album that will continue to be discovered by younger and younger fans as time goes by. Music is seldom if ever truly timeless but there's the simple undeniable fact that at the time of its release The Shape Of Punk To Come was a criminally overlooked record. Now, at a time when hardcore has never been so synonymous with the mainstream, it's able to reach so many more people than it ever could at the time of it release. With image driven bands like Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold and Eighteen Visions taking both their running mascara and the rather loosely attached tag of hardcore to a new MTV generation, a fresh audience has emerged, eager to follow the latest in musical fashion.
One final reason as to why Refused stand out is the rather simple fact that they appeared to split, somewhat unusually in the music world, at their artistic peak. It could be argued that along with the likes of At The Drive-In, Jeff Buckley and Nirvana, they ended at the very top of their game (though the latter two for much more tragic reasons altogether). While other acts such as Metallica continue to grind out albums, tarnishing their once great legend in the process, these acts never got the opportunity to disappoint fans by playing past their musical "best before date" or releasing a disappointing record.
Refused, 'Summer Holidays vs. Punk Routine'
Whatever the reasons behind the upsurge in popularity and regardless of the recent bandwagon jumping by some in the mainstream press, Refused still remain one of the most important and influential acts of the past decade. So if you're into punk, hardcore or simply alternative music in general, but are new to the band, take a few minutes to follow the links below such as to the Burning Heart Records site and listen to clips and watch videos and get your own opinion, bearing one thing in mind. As Refused and every other important punk-rock band have always been eager to extol above all else, just think for yourself.

Let's be adults about this – I'm fat. This isn't insecure Bridget Jones whining. I've honestly packed on some pounds. At first it was kind of cool. When I rush downstairs my belly fat quivers. Kinda like the stomach flip you get when going down a rollercoaster. If I jerk my head to the left, the right side of my body jiggles. Sorta like there's a waterbed underneath my skin (groovy). Every morning I play the challenging game of "stuff the thighs into the dark wash denim." And every morning it's like shoving a television set into a condom. I know I can free myself of the flub through simple diet and exercise. However, I waste more time haggling with the membership director at the Bedford Avenue YMCA instead of actually spending the measly 45-minutes on the treadmill. I cancel out the nutrients of a salad by dumping bits of cheese pizza into it. The times when I could be feeling the burn (I live a whole two blocks away from the aforementioned Y) I'm stuffing my face with candies and watching Mahogany.
In an effort to end Operation Pork I've tried to be more aggressive with my nightlife excursions. Recently, I attended the glorious Flashing Lights party at Mehanata. The first floor of Mehanata had crazy iridescent plastic leaves covering the ceiling which made me feel like I downed some 'luudes and partied in an enchanted freezer. A-Trak spun some dizzying Euro House jams from Fedde Le Grand and Mylo. Upstairs was a Balkan Beat party where I danced with a slight fellow from Albania and jumped around like the harvest just came in.
Also, I'd been curious about Theophilus London for a while. I finally got closure at his This Charming Mixtape release party at The Studio at Webster Hall. Performance-wise, he has a loooong way to go. It's a pale version of the slobber over the microphone, hump womenfolk in the audience, me against the mainstream thing that Spank Rock has been owning for years. It was like watching a bunch of really hyper zoo animals trying to break the cages with their screams. The ubiquitous Jesse Boykins III was his backup singer which was not a great look for London. Boykin's easy cool was more captivating than London's desperate mayhem. It was like watching Smoky Robinson two-step next to Ol' Dirty Bastard. However, the music itself is proper. London and Boykins' "Cold Pillow" is an airy electro-soul jam with an addictive beat. His remix of Solange's "Sandcastle Disco" is equally catchy.
Maybe I can listen to it when I hit the gym. Or when I wallow in my own flub eating candies.

Beaches retain setback rules
Published: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 3:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 3:37 p.m.
Coastal N.C. | Both Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach had development exceptions renewed by the Coastal Resources Commission at its meeting Wednesday in Atlantic Beach.
Officials from the two New Hanover County beach towns appeared before the coastal regulatory board Wednesday seeking extensions of their static line exceptions. The static line represents the location of stable natural vegetation at the time of a beach nourishment project. That line is used to establish oceanfront setbacks, which dictate where new developments may be placed in relation to the shoreline.
Exceptions to that rule allow limited development on lots that are unable to meet the setback from the static vegetation line. Exceptions for both Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach were granted by the CRC on Sept. 9, 2009. Both will require reauthorization in five years.

The benefits of yoga on body, mind and spirit have been known and practiced in the United States for decades.
Yoga can be both relaxing and invigorating once one learns to tune in to the effects of the various postures and movements.
The physical self gains strength due to the use of many muscles not always exercised in day to day living or in other workouts and sports. The body also learns to align itself better and regains balance both skeletally and internally. Organ function, posture, circulation, digestion, and muscle flexibility begin to improve and move naturally toward a more balanced state with continued practice.
The mind learns to find stillness that aids the body through breathing techniques and focused meditation. After a time yoga helps practitioners tap their full potential and this can lead to both a successful outlook on life and spiritually to inner peace and outward compassion.
In today's world of increasing sports' participation, your body can begin to focus on just one area. For example, if you are a runner you may gain great muscular strength in your legs, but this is not balanced with the rest of your body. Yoga helps to harmonize the body and bring all aspects of self into balance.
Teens are living in that in-between place of childhood and adulthood. This in itself causes an imbalance in them emotionally. If we add to that the imbalances of racing hormones, growth spurts, ever increasing societal pressures, and a world that is also changing around them, it is easy to imagine the benefits of yoga for them.
Lauren Benson, previously a city High School English teacher, opened Veda Yoga Space at 1862 Hertel Avenue in Buffalo, New York during the fall of 2009. It is her belief as a practitioner and instructor that what makes yoga so valuable to teens is that it addresses internal issues rather than external ones, something for which they are very much in need. Yoga tunes the body and leads to a more positive self-concept, bringing confidence, acceptance, and gratitude. "It challenges kids to be still, something that is very hard for them."
Stillness leads to awareness of self, emotionally and mentally, eventually shifting perspective from self to a world view. Young people make new connections to themselves and others, viewing them as equals. They begin to experience true feelings of empathy and compassion. It also aids in clearer decision making.
Lauren has practiced for nine years and obtained certification in Hatha Yoga from the Himalayan Institute. She now teaches several classes meeting the needs of individuals of all ages and abilities each week. A recent addition to her offerings at Veda Yoga Space is a Monday yoga program designed specifically for teens from 4:30-5:30pm. Students in this teen class range in age from 12-18.
As Lauren said about her own introduction to yoga, it kept coming into her life until she finally listened. Yoga is a practice that can come into your teen's life too, leading them to a whole new awakening.

MH17 investigators struggle to reach site
Heavy fighting in Ukraine continues to hamper investigators' efforts to find answers in the crash of flight MH17.PT0M0S 620 349
There is a real possibility that not all the remains of MH17 disaster victims will be recovered, the Australian Federal Police confirmed yesterday.
Forensic experts from the AFP said overnight that both the nature of the incident — which blackbox flight recorder data has confirmed was caused a missile strike — and the delay in recovering the victims from the rebel-controlled Ukrainian warzone meant there was a chance the remains of some victims would never be found.
An international team of 200 forensic experts at the Korporaal van Oudheusden barracks at Hilversum in the Netherlands is working to identify the contents of the 227 coffins which have so far been transported from the Ukrainian crash site. Australia has a team of 19 disaster victim identification specialists (DVI) at Hilversum and 19 based in the Ukraine waiting for access to the crash site.

Among the Australians are DVI specialists who worked on recovery operations after the Bali bombings, the Boxing Day tsunami, the Victorian bushfires ,the Christmas Island refugee boat tragedy, last year's Philippines typhoon and in warzones including Kosovo.
The AFP confirmed yesterday that once the bodies of Australian victims had been identified the families would decide when the bodies would be repatriated to Australia.
The AFP said when forensic investigators were confident they have an identity match, the results are passed to an "identity commission" — a panel of experts such as police and coroners — for confirmation before families are notified.
The Federal Government is in talks with families to establish how they would like the remains of their loved ones returned — whether it be using military transportation or commercial flights.
The AFP confirmed overnight that families had already been contacted by officers from either the AFP or state police to help collect primary sources of DNA that might be crucial to identifying their loved ones' remains.
Hair and toothbrushes, items which may carry fingerprints, dental records, and DNA samples from close family members have all been collected from relatives.
The forensic facility at the Hilversum barracks was described yesterday as a temporary mortuary in a permanent building.
There is no timeframe for the completion of the forensic task, which is being led by the Dutch.

Crowd into the unassuming bar known as Bottletree on any given night of the week and you may hear one of a few different sounds. Perhaps you hear the stylings of a twangy folk singer, whose influences include Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. Or maybe you hear a DJ spinning tracks that are more computer than instrument. And yet, the bar may also be filled with the sounds of deafening guitars and vocalists, what some younger people might term "Scream-O" music. Regardless of what you find, enter Bottletree and you will be at the heart of Birmingham's bourgeoning hipster community.
Hipsters are those that don fedoras, wear glasses of the 1950's Buddy Holly variety, dress as though they wish they had lived amid the days of Studio 54, or some combination of those fashion elements and more. Hipsters like bands you've never heard-of, the latest "i" products from Apple, and drink in bars you didn't know existed. Given the more conservative stylings of Birmingham's citizenry though, the hipster trend seems to be one struggling to take hold.
In New York, Chicago, or Miami on the other hand, hipsters are a dime-a-dozen (assuming you can find them of course, as hipsters like places that are popular because they're supposedly not). And the movement seems to be all the more fueled by such big-city exclusives like "H&M" clothing stores and a greater diversity of people. In Birmingham, such cornerstones of the hipster community are only slowly emerging.
At the Summit shopping complex, for example, "Urban Outfitters" only arrived a few years back, a wellspring of hipster fashion. And Birmingham radio has just now become more interesting with the addition of London, England's own DJ Coco, hosting 100.5's new show, "Sunday Night Social." For the person that wants a thrilling introduction into the hipster world though, nothing beats the only official dance party in Birmingham, "Kids Got the Disco". The party is held monthly at Bottletree and merits it's own article to be sure (stay tuned). Since it's introduction in 2008, the party has proved wildly popular and is in fact about to celebrate its two year anniversary on March 5th. Hipsters rejoice!
Yet while these trends are a start, they are coming at a snail's pace. If Birmingham is to keep up with the trends of the day, the city needs to loosen its collar a bit more and embrace its inner hipster. Hipsters, after all, are easy-going and care-free, welcoming individuality and liberation! For now, there's always Bottletree...

View Curriculum Vitae
As a visual historian, I am interested in film aesthetics in the context of the dense artistic and cultural exchanges across the Atlantic. In my first book in English, Italy in Early American Cinema: Race, Landscape, and the Picturesque (2009), I followed the historical and geographic journeys of an aesthetic form, the picturesque, from 17th century paintings and 18th century prints to turn-of-the-20th-century films, and from the Italian to the North American racial culture. In the process, I also followed the picturesque's original subjects, Southern Italians, as both protagonists and consumers of picturesque works. In the end, my research sought to recast established time-centered notions of cinematic modernity by mobilizing equally pressingly modern notions of geographic variance, racial difference, and migration.
In my current project, Divo/Duce: Film Stardom and Political Leadership in 1920s America, I am focusing on a historically narrower type of Atlantic exchange, the 1920s American popularity of Hollywood star Rudolph Valentino and dictator Benito Mussolini. Based again on a wide variety of sources and documents, Divo/Duce seeks to unearth the historical convergences of celebrity culture, charismatic leadership and national sovereignty and in the process identify the affinities between stardom and political theory. While the bulk of the research relates to the North American scene, for comparative purposes a substantial portion will also be devoted to the repercussions of the Divo/Duce's transnational fame in Italy and Argentina—two Latin, predominantly Catholic, cultural settings.
Over the years, I have published essays in such scholarly journals as Cinema Journal, Film Quarterly, Film History, The Velvet Light Trap, Urban History, The Journal of Urban History, Agalma: Rivista di Cultura ed Estetica; Italian American Review; Italica; Kintop; Comunicazioni Sociali, and NEMLA Italian Studies. I have also edited volumes for both pedagogical and scholarly use, from Emir Kusturica (Rome, 1995), The Cinema of Italy (London: 2004; 2007), and Early Cinema and the National (London, 2008; with Richard Abel and Rob King) to Italian Cinema: A Reader (2013). Recently I have revised and expanded my 1996 monograph on Bosnian film director Emir Kusturica, for the series Il Castoro Cinema (Milan, 2011), to appear in English in late 2014 in the series "Contemporary Film Directors" of the University of Illinois Press.

Unhappily Ever After: The Sad Reality Of Disney Movie Characters In Real Life
This is Unhappily Ever After, a series of photos imagining Disney characters in real life by animator Jeff Hong. They are all depressing. Why? Because life is depressing. I'm kidding, life is beautiful. Haha, kidding again -- it really is depressing! That's why I take these pills every morning. "These are boner pills." Boners are all I have left.
Keep going for the rest.
Thanks to lilco, who agrees real happy endings only happen in seedy massage parlors.

The Women's Five Blade by 800razors.com arrived with its hot pink handle and several cartridges enclosed in their own plastic covers. Inside the box was also a 4 x 5 card with tips on how to use the razor and how to get a softer, smoother shave.
On the plus side, the razor company makes men's and women's razors that compare in quality to the Gillette Venus, Fusion, and Mach III but cost about half the price. The razors are made with ceramic-coated blades and a 360 degree lubricating strip. The Womens 5 Blade with 12 Cartridges is normally $25.95 but there is a special $9.95 introductary offer going on now.
800razors.com makes their blades in the U.S. rather than outsourcing, and makes a razor designed specifically for a woman's needs. The razors are delivered with no shipping costs.
On the negative side, the razors come with no instructions on how to apply and remove the blades. For someone who has always used an inexpensive two-blade razor, the cartridge was a challenge to put on, especially after it was dropped in the water during one attempt and the lubricating strip made it impossible to handle safely. The shave was smooth, but not noticeably closer than with a two-blade. I managed to nick myself in the shaving process, although perhaps not as deeply as a regular razor. Sensitive skin will still need treatment after shaving with the Women's 5 Blade.
Final thoughts: The Women's Five Blade razor by 800razors.com is a nice razor for shaving, less expensive than its primary competition but pricier than basic razors which do as good a job. There did not appear to be a place to see the cost of the replacement cartridges to see if in the long run, simply replacing the cartridges might make the razor more economical.

Titanfall is the fastest selling game of 2014
Gives Microsoft's Xbox One a 96 percent jump in sales
SO FAR EXCLUSIVE to the Xbox One and PC game Titanfall is the highest selling software title of 2014 in just its first week of release.
According to UKIE, the UK agency that watches this kind of thing, Titanfall by Electronic Arts (EA) has strode with gigantic robot steps past the previous top seller of 2014, which we understand was Fifa 14.
EA also released Fifa 14, making this a rather good year for the outfit so far.
UKIE said that Titanfall had a dramatic impact on the gaming landscape and also caused a spike in Xbox One hardware sales. The release of the game provided a "colossal" boost, it said, with a 96 percent jump in sales.
It attributed this to a bundle of Titanfall with the Xbox One games console, which coincidentally included a £30 reduction from its previous retail price.
The only other new entry was Bandai Namco's Dark Souls II, which UKIE said had "settled" for second place.
Third was Ubisoft's South Park, The Stick of Truth, which was last week's number one, fourth was the Lego Movie game, and fifth was Square Enix Europe's Thief, which has also dropped two places.
The rest of the top ten was a mix of football, shooting, plants and zombies and Minecraft.
The Xbox 360 version of Titanfall goes on sale in the UK on 28 March, and the firm will be expecting a second boost in sales then.
Last week Microsoft said that the Xbox 360 is still a solid seller, and in February alone punters picked up 2.46 million software titles. By comparison the firm moved 772,000 Xbox One games. µ

Stuck Between Stations is a Sundance-style indie film that's not quite original, but still surprisingly affecting.
Set in Minneapolis — where the author of this review grew up — Stuck Between Stations fits comfortably into the "One Crazy Night" genre, along with American Graffiti and its many imitators; the film's major antecedents, in fact, are all directed by Richard Linklater: Slacker, Before Sunrise, and its sequel Before Sunset.
Stuck Between Stations is the story of Casper (Sam Rosen) and Rebecca (Zoe Lister-Jones), former elementary school classmates who meet up again one night in a Minneapolis bar (First Avenue and 7th Street Entry, the legendary rock club that may be familiar to Purple Rain fans.) The two move through the night, Before Sunrise-style, slowly revealing more and more of each other's traumatic backstories to one another.
Over the course of the night, they visit a variety of offbeat Minneapolis locations, from various bars and parties to a punk rock circus to a couple of different residences. They also run into a couple of recognizable faces, including erstwhile A-lister and Minneapolis native Josh Hartnett and later Michael Imperioli (playing, in a bit of offbeat casting, a middle-aged college professor.)
The film stays away from the sort of tweeness and preciousness that often plagues indie films. Both lead actors perform quite well despite thin résumés, and the presence of the two stars is never especially distracting.
Directed by first-timer Brady Kiernan, Stuck Between Stations is most skillfully directed, except for an overuse of split-screen editing.
The film also makes good use of Minneapolis locations. It shares a title with a song by a band associated with the Twin Cities, The Hold Steady, although the song does not appear in the film. Kiernan said in an interview last year that the movie is "mostly a reference to the spirit of the song."
The film played at film festivals and received a negligible theatrical release in 2011; it's now available on DVD, and is worth discovering.

Apparently the road to Jacksonville runs both ways.
The New Orleans Saints wrapped up a free-agent visit with former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Clint Ingram on Wednesday. On the same day, Jacksonville brought in former Saints free agent safety Darren Sharper for a similar meet-and-greet.
This is the first visit Sharper has taken since he became an unrestricted free agent nearly eight weeks ago. The 34-year-old veteran has been looking for a better deal than the Saints have been willing to offer. But his courtship process was delayed when he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery a few days before the free-agent signing period began in early March.
Sharper is apparently healthy enough to travel and work out for teams. And he's hoping the market will pick up for him now that the NFL draft has passed.
Jacksonville, for instance, did not draft a safety, and may have considered Sharper as a backup plan. According to league sources, at least two or three teams other than the Saints have expressed interest in the All-Pro veteran throughout the offseason.
There has been speculation that the Dallas Cowboys could also emerge as potential suitors, and Sharper had made occasional comments about the New York Jets' need for a free safety -- though the Jets are unable to sign an unrestricted free agent at this point because of the league's rule that restricts the final four playoff teams.
The Saints have not ruled out the possibility of bringing Sharper back after his outstanding debut season with New Orleans in 2009. But they've made it clear that they won't overspend.
As good as Sharper was last season -- with nine interceptions, three of which he returned for touchdowns -- his production did drop off toward the end of the season, largely because of his nagging knee injury. And his age and health remain a concern, even though he made teams pay for doubting him a year ago.
The Saints did not add a safety in the draft, but they used their first-round pick on Florida State cornerback Patrick Robinson, which could free them to move cornerback Malcolm Jenkins to free safety if Sharper doesn't return.
At least one of Sharper's Saints teammates has been vocal about his desire for Sharper to return. Tight end Jeremy Shockey has been tweeting throughout the past two days about the need to keep Sharper in New Orleans, and he reiterated his stance Wednesday night during fullback Heath Evans' charity softball game at Zephyr Field.
"I'd be very surprised if he didn't come back. We need him to come back. He's a great teammate, and I feel like they're going to get something done, whatever it takes. That's a guy you have to have around, " said Shockey, who said he knows that Sharper wants to stay in New Orleans. "I know it's a business and he has to visit other teams. But I called him today and told him, 'Please talk to me before anything happens. I'm your life coach, Darren, so please talk to me first.' "
Ingram, meanwhile, could help fill the void left by former strongside starter Scott Fujita, who signed with the Cleveland Browns in free agency. The Saints didn't draft any outside linebackers over the weekend, so they'd like to add to a young mix of candidates that includes Jonathan Casillas, Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Marvin Mitchell, Anthony Waters and Stanley Arnoux, plus veteran Troy Evans.
There were no early indications, however, if the Saints planned to offer the 27-year-old a contract.
Ingram (6-2, 240 pounds) has been a starter at outside linebacker for most of his four-year career -- including the 2008 season, when Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was the defensive coordinator in Jacksonville.
The former third-round pick out of Oklahoma has 159 tackles, 5 1/2 sacks, two interceptions (one of which he returned for a touchdown) and one forced fumble in his career. But the Jaguars were reportedly disappointed that Ingram didn't take the "next step" they were expecting in 2009 after he had what Coach Jack Del Rio described as a "tremendous offseason."
Ingram started 12 games last season, with 52 tackles and one sack, before finishing the season on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. He also had arthroscopic knee surgery this offseason but had been participating in the Jaguars' offseason conditioning program.
Ingram began the offseason as a restricted free agent, but he didn't sign the Jaguars' one-year tender offer of $1.266 million, which they decided to rescind this week after trading for Oakland Raiders linebacker Kirk Morrison.
The Saints can sign Ingram even though they are prevented from signing any unrestricted free agents as part of the league's restrictions on the final four playoff teams. Restricted free agents who are not tendered are counted the same way as undrafted free agents or veterans who get released by their teams.
The Saints had one exemption to sign an official unrestricted free agent (a veteran of six or more years whose contract expired this year), which they used on defensive end Jimmy Wilkerson. They could receive another free-agent allowance, however, if they lose Sharper to another team.

"I really didn't see myself leaving Zachary," Beckwith said. "Everything you hear about it, from the quality of the school to the community, is true. "But to get the chance to be closer to where I'm from is important for me and my family. I really feel like it's a calling for me to go there." Beckwith, who starred at Monroe's Ouachita Parish High, said he will be in Ruston on Friday to finalize the details of his new job. The 33-year-old Beckwith spent two years at Zachary. His 2012-13 team finished 19-14 and lost to Higgins 55-44 in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs. Before coming to Zachary, Beckwith spent one season as an assistant in Longview, Texas, and was head coach at West Monroe for three seasons. "I've got nothing but good things to say about coach Beckwith," Zachary Principal Wes Watts said. "We've developed a great relationship by working together. I wish he would decide to stay, but I do understand the fact that he wants to move his family closer to where they're from." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Who Makes The Best Bolt Action Rifle?

I drove myself almost crazy (short drive) last summer looking for a nice bolt action under $1,000.00. Looked at TC, Savage, Ruger, Browning, etc. but finally decided on a Tikka T3 Lite. I went with a 7 mm Mag because I hunt moose in NL and absolutely love this rifle. Smooth bolt action and extremely accurate. Some of the other bolt actions seemed heavier and rougher (won't mention brands as I don't want to offend). The other thing to consider is the trigger with the bolt action. I really like the trigger on Tikka's as well. Sako is the delux Tikka but runs more than $1,000.
Other way round.. .Tikka is the poor man's SAKO

1. SAKO Model 85 (Any of the various offerings in wood or synthetic). They are quite expensive but if you have the bread they are as good as it gets. The smoothest bolt action that I ever used and the fit and finish on these rifles is amazing. I like the Finnlight model with fluted barrel.
2. TIKKA made by SAKO but at a great price under $1,000. Smooth action and very accurate.
3. Any Husqvarna if you can find one in good shape. They were made in Sweden and were good shooters.
4. Winchester Model 70 Still a great rifle after all the years and now even better with a pre 1964 mauser type action. I handled a new one recently and found it a tad heavy for me even with a synthetic stock. Maybe that was just me as I am used to the SAKO and Husqvarna featherweight rifles
5. BROWNING X-BOLT (With synthetic stock for weight saving). They are made in Japan for Browning but all the folks that own one swear by them. There is good video on youtube that will help folks.
Google BROWNING X-Bolt test firing. It was done in Australia and is easy to find.
6. RUGER Model 77. A well made rifle with a new 3 position safety. They shoot really well and as a bonus come with Ruger scope rings. A bit on the heavy side (7 lbs or so)
7. I'll put Remington 700 here. I own one made in 1980. It's the BDL version in .308. It is a great rifle and I will never part with it. I would not buy one of newer ones with the altered safety as it no longer locks the bolt with the safety on. Maybe its just me but I dont like it. Remington should have gone to a three position safety like the Win 70 or as Ruger has done with the Model 77 a few years ago.
Well there you have it. There are many others available but these are my picks. I hope I didn't annoy anyone as I was just trying to be helpful with 70 years of water under the bridge.
Thanks; Kempt

Who Makes The Best Bolt Action Rifle?
Now that's an open ended question. There are as many answers as there are brands and models. There is also the question of usage. Some of you may say the best automobile is a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce. However, a mother with three kids and a dog would probably be better served with a minivan of some flavor. Keeping with this same thinking, a hunter looking for pronghorn antelope on the open prairie would have a very different answer than say the hunter looking for a grizzly in an alder thicket?
I guess for me the perfect rifle is one we have confidence in and that is suitable to the task at hand.

Binyamin Outpost Prepares to Fight
Residents of the Binyamin-region village of Givat Assaf will fight a planned expulsion with "maximum determination," representatives said Tuesday in a meeting with Members of Knesset.
The battle will not be theirs alone, they added. Members of the public have been asked to come and help the families of Givat Assaf hold on to their land.
Visitors MK Otniel Schneller (Kadima) and MK Yaakov "Ketzaleh" Katz (Ichud Leumi) promised to do what they can to cancel plans for a demolition.
Ketzaleh noted that the threat facing Givat Assaf hangs over many other towns as well, among them Migron and Givat Ha'Ulpana in nearby Beit El. Givat Assaf's predicament should not be seen as a local issue, he said, but rather as a larger problem involving thousands of families in total.
Givat Assaf was built 10 years ago, in memory of terror victim Assaf Hershkowitz, a young father from nearby Ofra who was murdered in a shooting attack. Today the village is home to 25 families, including more than 120 children.
The village was built without government approval, and has faced demolition threats since the beginning. Previous attempts to demolish the fledgling town have been thwarted with the help of thousands of activists who swarmed to the area, making expulsion impractical.

There's a lot of great partnerships in the musical theatre. Rogers & Hamerstein. Kander & Ebb. And, now Joe DiPietro and David Bryan can easily add to their names to that elite list.
They have already wowed audiences with Tony winning "Memphis" and the off-Broadway (and hear going to Broadway) "The Toxic Avenger."
Now they are part of the Page to the Stage showcase at La Jolla Playhouse with "Chasing the Song," playing through June 15.
The best thing about the Page to Stage performances is oftentimes after the show, different people involved in the production get the audiences feedback so they can improve the show and hopefully take it on the road in the dream of landing on Broadway.
In the hands of La Jolla, director Christopher Ashley and choreographer Sergio Trujillo as well as DiPietro and Bryan, they don't scrimp much in bringing this production to life.
While, as expected, sets are minimal, but the professionals behind the scenes make the professionals on the stage pop with character, excitement and give a wonderful cast a chance to shine, which also would look good to any potential backer.
"Song" is a great companion piece to the team's earlier "Memphis," in which elements of musical history are mixed in with fictionalized characters and plots. This show takes place in the Brill Building in New York in the early 1960s. The Brill was known for housing several companies that had songwriting partners who would work the hits to be recorded by the likes of Frankie Avalon and Lesley Gore.
Our story follows hard as knocks Edie who needs to be tough in a man's world. She started her own company of songwriters and while she has had a successful career, the hits are fewer and far between mostly due to singer/songwriters coming on the scene and writing their own material, including the Beatles.
While this is not a show that is to be reviewed, you can already see a hit here as "Chasing the Song" has great bones and a lot of catching songs.
I was more than surprised what a full-on production this is when its still in its early stages of development. Ashley's direction is tight and well staged and Trujillo once again proves he's a master of dance moves as he keeps the show jumping.
These early productions also may not be set with a cast yet to take the show further. It's still early in the process and likely it will change (somewhat) while on the road looking for backers and a following.
Still, Julie Johnson in the lead role is one person I hope sticks with it. She's smart, funny and has a big voice and her presence commands attention - much like that of a female boss in the 1960s would. If scheduling or other obstacles stop her from being in the show, I would love to see her in the Ethel Merman story.
Also, whether he remains in the show (and perhaps they can expand his role like they did with recent Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart when he was in "Memphis") but Jonny Wexler has a lot of chasm - and boy can he dance. Please take notice.
"Chasing the Song" is a perfect show to see in development so that, in time, you can see the finished product on the Broadway stage. Right now, they are mixing ingredients to come up with the right recipe, but it's already plenty tasty.
It closes June 15 so get tickets and more information at www.lajollaplayhouse.org. June 11 and June 14 will have an Insider Event before the show offering some history in making the production.

To be honest, it's not easy to give recommendations for the best moisturizer. Often, the best moisturizer for one's skin is largely dependent on the type of skin you have and what you can afford. Finding the best moisturizer is definitely nowhere as easy as finding a product for fading age spots.
Nonetheless, here's a guideline on how to find the best moisturizer for your skin
Best Facial Moisturizer For Dry Skin
Dry skin is the result of a lack of moisture in your skin. So when looking for a facial moisturizer, you need to find creams that trap moisture in your skin thus keeping it hydrated all the time.
But before we dive into which ingredients and products to look for, let's discuss the things that escalate dry skin conditions.
First of all, using harsh soaps can be extremely drying to the skin. Stay away from such soaps and use alcohol-free face wash or cleansers. Also, in the winter, the weather conditions and heating in households can cause extremely dry skin too. Lessen this drying effect by having humidifiers around the house and not having very hot showers.
Now on to looking for the best facial moisturizer for dry skin
Most moisturizers that are best for this skin type are ones that are heavy and oil-based. In the winter, when my skin is dryer than normal (I have combination skin the rest of the year), I find that humectants such as hyaluronic acid and alpha-glycolic acid do an extremely good moisturizing job. They also give me a nice kind of glow which I love.
Are you having even dryer skin with hyaluronic acid and alpha-glycolic acid? This is not typical. Look at the list of ingredients again. There might be something else in it that is causing the dryness. Switch to a different purer product. If another purer (or natural) cream still dries your skin, then you'll just have to stop using it (or visit your dermatologist for advice) and then use a reputable moisturizing cream for dry face.
If humectants work for you, then I suggest adding another moisturizing cream on top of that. These creams should work together to help trap the moisture in your skin. The most common of these moisturizers have petroleum, paraffin, and lanolin. Some people argue that these ingredients are not good for your skin at all. But they do trap moisture so well. So if you have skin that's extremely dry, give these petroleum products a try.
If any of these moisturizing creams really don't work for you, try using essential oils like macadamia oil or something like emu oil. You can usually buy these oil in their purest form.
Recommended Products For Dry Skin
- Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream (great for trapping moisture )
- Reviva Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Best Facial Moisturizer For Aging Or Mature Skin
For aging or mature skin, the best facial moisturizers have antioxidant benefits to keep the skin looking supple and firm. You want something that has anti-aging properties to help combat premature lines and wrinkles.
Now more than ever, you need to have a skin care routine that involves proper cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration.
There are a few skin care ingredients that are also extremely beneficial for mature skin. Make sure you have these ingredients in your skin care regimen to take care of your aging skin.
Retinol – Retinol has long been touted as the answer to combatting premature wrinkles and fine lines. Dozens of research have shown a significant difference in wrinkle depth with the regular use of retinol.
Peptides – This is another ingredient that is common in many anti-aging creams these days. They can also be found in many moisturizing creams.
Top Rated Moisturizer For Aging Or Mature Skin
- Peter Thomas Roth Mega Rich Intensive Anti-Aging Cellular Creme
- St. Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer
- L'Oreal Skin Expertise Night Creme Age Perfect for Mature skin
Facial Moisturizer For Sensitive Skin
It can be very difficult to find a good moisturizer for sensitive skin. The degree of sensitivity can be very different from one person to another, so you need to carefully assess exactly which ingredients you are sensitive to. You also need to be very diligent in reading product labels.
With sensitive skin, stick to the most basic moisturizing ingredients. Keep your moisturizer as simple as possible. Keep away from perfume, acid or any other allergens you know your skin reacts adversely to.
A lot of what you put on your skin depends on its level of sensitivity. Some people can tolerate creams and lotions while others will not take it at all. For people who are extremely sensitive, I suggest using nothing but pure oil like avocado oil, or almond oil. Many have also reported extremely good results with pure aloe vera gel especially when you have dry skin as well.
Top Rated Products For Sensitive Skin
- Olay Moisturizing lotion for sensitive Skin
- Burt's Bees Daily Moisturizing Cream
Best Facial Moisturizer For Oily Skin
A lot of people with oily skin try to stay away from moisturizers, but like any other skin type, your skin needs moisturizer as well. Just make sure you use a light one which is water based and is noncomedogenic.
I have always recommended pure aloe vera gel as the moisturizer for any type of skin and even more so when you have sensitive skin. However, you need to be extremely careful with the aloe vera you buy as some companies actually add some other ingredients as well.
Another thing that you can do if you have oily skin is to use humectants like hyaluronic and glycolic acid. These two are good for oily skin, are hydrating without being oily, and boost the health of your skin as well.
Some Things To Keep In Mind
Get rid of hyperpigmentation, black spots and lighten skin color!
Always apply moisturizer after a shower/bath or after washing your face. This allows the water/moisture to be trapped in your skin.
No matter which type of skin you are, always use a sunscreen lotion that is specific to your skin.
Here's what I recommend. >
