Entrepreneur Inspiration from Chris Hardwick of Nerdist Industries: 3 Things You Must Do to Succeed
Chris Hardwick was once like you or me.
He dreamed about making his mark on the world but struggled with the best way to break onto the scene. He procrastinated, failed, and got discouraged. He sat on his couch and watched TV instead of making his move.
He also spent sleepless nights wondering how he'd forge a path for himself and be happy with his career choices.
Eventually, he did forge that path, but he didn't make his dreams reality overnight! Everything Chris has accomplished is a direct result of his hard work and his bootstrap mentality.
Need some proof? Check out some of his titles and accomplishments:
Today, Chris Hardwick is the founder and CCO at Nerdist Industries (which was recently purchased by Legendary Entertainment), the host of the Nerdist podcast, a stand-up comedian, a musician in a comedy rock band called Hard n' Phirm, a freelance writer for Wired magazine, the organizer of an Olympic-torch style lightsaber run called "Course of the Force," and a published author of a self-help bestseller, The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life). Formerly, he was the host of Web Soup and MTV's Singled Out, and an on-air gadget expert for G4's Attack of the Show. His list of achievements goes on and on!
He even hosts a live after show called The Talking Dead, where fans of AMC's The Walking Dead come together to watch cast interviews and discuss episode plot twists and character developments. The man's a bloody genius (pun intended).
So, how did Mr. Hardwick go from zero to entrepreneur?
It's simple, if you think about it: He got off his butt and started doing! Here are 3 inspirational tidbits from Chris Hardwick's unconventional self-help book, The Nerdist Way, which will hopefully kick any foot-dragging, wannabe entrepreneur into action!
#1: Trick your brain into making a change.
You know that little voice inside your head that tells you it's okay to eat ice cream for dinner because you've earned it, or convinces you to watch TV in place of working on your pet project? You don't have to listen to it, and you should actually ignore it altogether. Convince that little voice that your good (positive) desires take precedence instead of coming up with reasons to justify bad (self-damaging) actions. Give it a try! I thought it sounded too easy as well, but it really works. Mastering this Jedi mind trick is half the battle to get where you need to be.
#2: Embrace the uncomfortable.
There's a difference between being legitimately uncomfortable and being a whiny little wimp. Stretch your comfort zone to include things you might normally ignore, like designating time for your business plan each day or finding the motivation to exercise on a regular basis. Does change suck? Yeah, sometimes. But is change also necessary in order to grow as an individual and to learn from your experiences? Yep. That's why you shouldn't go so easy on yourself. Chances are, you're on the right path if you're somewhat uncomfortable with your new plans because that means you've initiated (worthwhile) changes.
The formula Chris uses is: "Uncomfortable = New Experience = Growth." Enough said.
#3: Push yourself to succeed at something you love, even if you don't feel like it.
What do you suppose would have happened if Steve Jobs replaced all of his innovating and developing time with eating junk food and playing video games? We probably wouldn't have half of the shiny Apple products that we have today, and he wouldn't be among the most admired people in the world. Similarly, you can't limit your potential by pushing it aside; you have to work at your passion until it becomes a fine-tuned machine. You're going to wake up some days and groan about how sucky work is, or you'll gnash your teeth at the idea of spending time writing instead of spacing out. However, you certainly won't get any better at it by ignoring it. You owe it to yourself to succeed, and no one is going to hand you that experience on a silver platter. You have to make it happen on your own!
Don't worry, these 3 tips represent only a fraction of the knowledge you'll find in The Nerdist Way, so there's no excuse not to read it from cover to cover. I'd highly recommend it for any procrastinating entrepreneur (and/or any physically or mentally inactive nerd) who is itching for a change!
At the risk of sounding creepy, I don't think of Chris Hardwick as a celebrity (even though he is); I think of him as a friend. His book's conversational tone made me forget I was reading a self-help book and made me think I was speaking to a close friend instead — a close friend who wanted me to succeed. My exposure to him began back in 1996, when he was still the charismatic host of Singled Out, and it's been a delight to see him transform into the multifaceted star and nerd godfather that he is today. If he can transform his life, then so can we!
Now get out there and do your thang. The longer you wait, the harder it's going to be. What's wrong with seizing your moment right now?
What's your favorite aspect of Nerdist Industries? Is there any other entrepreneurial advice we can get from Chris Hardwick? Do you listen to or watch any of the projects he's associated with?

Those "Nerdist" podcasts are hysterically good, my personal favorite being their bowling competition with the unshaven-'cause-it's-between-seasons cast of "Mad Men." Folks, if you're not familiar, it's time to get familiar. That said, great post, Jill!
Not only is he successful but extremely humble. All I have to say WOWZA! They broke the mold when they made Mister Hardwick!
At risk of being shunned, I haven't listened to many Nerdist podcasts. I find them super funny, I just keep not finding the proper amount of time.
However, I think that Hardwick's change from charismatic host to nerd godfather is awesome. You can't mention something nerdy without mentioning Chris Hardwick, and I think that's awesome. He did a great pivot of his personal brand and it's helping nerds everywhere. 🙂
I only really learned who Chris Hardwick was in the last few years, but he seems like such an interesting guy and a fascinating success story. I know him mostly from moderating panels at comic conventions (kind of an odd way to become acquainted with a celebrity's work, but hey, he's an excellent host! :)) and from The Talking Dead. His Nerdist show on BBC America is pretty cool, too. I didn't know he wrote a book! I need to get on that. Sounds like I would enjoy it immensely. 🙂

The Geekly, PGM's weekly report of cool things! (7/25/13)
Hello, Geekly readers! Sorry for skipping it last week, but there just wasn't enough geek to all go in one place. Now that the dust is finally settling from San Diego Comic Con, though, there's plenty! I mean, no tthat there isn't always at least a little, but, you know. Some geek weeks are slower than others!
Let's start with SDCC. I'm sure we've all seen some great costumes and amazing stuff come out of that pop culture explosion. And more of the best costumes. But by far my favorite story to come out of SDCC was that Bryan Cranston dressed as Heisenberg and no one knew. That dude is a genius.
In the "cool things you want to buy" department, this cute IndoGoGo campaign wants to dress your kids as geeks starting early. I personally love that R2D2 crocheted hat! And I would love to get this Indie Game the Movie Special Edition, which is beautiful. Of course, you could just get the Humble Weekly Bundle, which has a digital copy of the movie as well as Jim Guthrie's entire discography. Wow! But I'm not going to lie… if I was only allowed to buy one thing this week, it would be the Sharkini Swimsuit. Though this Catbug hat is sorely tempting.
What are the funnies things I've seen? Well, this Cause of Death list is good for a laugh! As well as this picture of Gabe Newell. And I loved this story about the DM's 7-year-old… well… just read it. Although nothing made me laugh harder than the epic Star Wars vs Game of Thrones battle.
And now to wrap it up with the random stuff! I imagine this is called Still Life with Fireflower, although some kind of joke about tripping on acid would work, too. Super Punch's Lego Roundup blew my mind, as all his stuff does. He also posted this incredible view of Earth from Saturn. Wow! I want all of these laptop stickers, especially the Totoro one, and I wish the trash cans in Philly were this rad. But the greatest thing ever? My friend Colette Bennett's adorable new glasses. I can't wait to see them on her!

Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Sen. Larry Grooms said Monday he planned to introduce a bill requiring S.C. DOT to submit a report to a joint legislative committee before proceeding with any clearing such as the clear-cutting proposed for the I-26 median between Summerville and I-95.
His bill would require DOT to submit a report for comment to the Joint Transportation Review Committee, which he chairs, Grooms said.
Grooms said he favors installing cable barriers to stop cars that drive off the roadway. The trees, however, are part of what make the Lowcountry special, he said.
"Once they're cut, they're cut. There's no going back. … I don't want our state to look just like every other place," he said.
The S.C. DOT Commission decided last month to remove the trees from the 80-foot median as a safety measure.
Last week, the Coastal Conservation League sent a letter to Gov. Nikki Haley asking her to review the decision.
Because parts of the median are wetlands, the DOT will need to conduct an environmental assessment, the league's attorney said.
As part of the assessment, the state needs to show the impacts and costs of its chosen option for improving safety are "absolutely unavoidable," attorney Jefferson Leath wrote.
"SCDOT has so far failed to do this, which will open the door for appeals of any issued permits," he wrote.
Former Sen. Arthur Ravenel, Jr., fought for those trees, Leath wrote.
Leath cited legislation spearheaded by Ravenel that limited DOT's authority to remove vegetation from medians and protect forested areas from "overzealous traffic engineers."
"SCDOT's current proposal is a clear violation of the intent of this law," he wrote.
That law was loosened last year so DOT could perform maintenance outside the 30-foot right-of-way, Grooms said.
The law had prevented DOT from undertaking maintenance on enhancement projects like the Exit 199 beautification, and the General Assembly had to pass a special bill for each project allowing the DOT to do the work, Grooms said.
Legislators changed the law after DOT promised to use its power judiciously, he said.
But DOT's lawyers said that law never applied to the current situation.
That law addressed only mowing, and this is a safety project, DOT said.
Its highway design manual uses national standards to prescribe "clear zone" distances for various projects, DOT spokesman Pete Poore said, and those standards can require removal of trees to a depth of 45 feet from the interstate.
Haley's spokesman, Rob Godfrey, issued a brief statement concerning the letter from the league.
"It is our understanding that SCDOT thoroughly weighed the safety concerns and high number of fatalities in that stretch of I-26 along with all options to preserve trees in that dangerous area, and concluded that safety of drivers had to remain their highest priority," he said.

Elvis went through a period, during the British Invasion, where he was not the hitmaker he had been. But interest in Elvis came rushing back after he had a major NBC television special in December 1968. After that show, Elvis went back to Memphis where he had not recorded since 1955. One of the tracks recorded in those sessions went on to become one of Elvis's most popular songs. It peaked at the top of the Billboard charts in November 1969. Elvis was back in a big way.
Suspicious Minds was the seventeenth #1 song for the King. It was, also, his last #1 song. However, after this smash, Elvis did have a few great releases -- Don't Cry Daddy, Kentucky Rain, Burning Love, to name only a few. Unfortunately, Elvis died in August 1977, ending an incomparable career. At least it ended his career but, think about it, how many people are still making a living by impersonating the King! As I hear it, the good ones make good money.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, the wine has aromas of deep red fruit, with slight notes of toast and spice. Made in a more modern style, this Barbaresco is concentrated and focused.
Technical Notes
Purchased in 1997, Bernardot is located in Treiso and sits at an elevation of 1,300 feet facing south. Composed of three different soils, (clay 42%, silt 35% and sand 23%) it was entirely replanted from 1998-2000. The grapes were hand-picked, destemmed and transferred to stainless steel, temperature controlled tanks for fermentation followed by a brief maceration. The wine aged in 300L French oak barriques (50% new) for 22 months at the Ceretto's Bricco Asili estate.

The bids to buy Philadelphia Media Network Inc. are in.
At least, that's what former Gov. Ed Rendell told a political blogger before an appearance on MSNBC Friday, according to a blog post on the Politico website.
Rendell told the blogger, BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith, that bids to buy the parent company of The Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com "went in today," according to the post by Politico media blogger Dylan Byers.

Multi-Country Poll Reveals That Majority of People Want Action on Climate Change, Even if it Entails CostsDecember 3, 2009
Full Report, including questionnaire with full findings (PDF)
A new poll of 15 nations, most of them in the developing world, finds that majorities of the people canvassed want their governments to take steps to fight climate change, even if that entails costs. People signaled they would support public measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions and step up adaptation measures. For example, respondents would support higher fuel efficiency standards for cars, preserving or expanding forests, and extending funding to vulnerable countries so they can develop hardier crops suited to more severe climates.
"The poll's findings shed light on global attitudes at a particularly important moment: the run-up to the conference on climate change to be held December 7-18 in Copenhagen. Hearing from people in the developing world offers a new lens on this issue," says Katherine Sierra, World Bank Vice President for Sustainable Development.
Carried out by WorldPublicOpinion.org and commissioned by the World Bank, the poll questioned 13,518 respondents in 15 nations-- Bangladesh, China, Egypt, France, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Russia, Senegal, Turkey, the United States, and Vietnam.
Other key findings include:
• Public concern about climate change is high worldwide, but it's generally higher in developing countries.
"It is encouraging indeed to see strong across-the-board support for committing to emissions limits in both developed and developing nations, since behavior change and attitudes will help determine whether we succeed or fail in addressing this global issue," says Marianne Fay, World Bank Chief Economist for Sustainable Development and Co-Director of the World Development Report 2010: Development and Climate Change.
Ms Fay explained that the poll was commissioned as a follow-up to the recently released WDR. The aim was to gain a better understanding of how the recommendations of the Report to invest substantially and immediately to manage climate change ("Act now, act together, and act differently") resonate in a cross-section of countries.
In the low-income country of Vietnam, for example, 98% say their government should commit to limiting emissions as part of a deal, and 93% support the same course in the absence of a deal. At the other end of the wealth spectrum, the people of France express 97% support if an agreement is reached at Copenhagen, and 87% if no agreement emerges.
Majorities in 14 of 15 countries are willing to pay to fight global climate change. In each country, the poll asked people whether they were willing to bear higher prices for energy and other goods, as part of taking steps to fight climate change. These price increases were calculated as 0.5% and 1.0% of each country's per capita GDP, and then described to respondents as defined monthly amounts in local currency. Majorities in six countries--China (68%), Vietnam (59%), Japan (53%), Iran (51%) and Mexico (51%)--say they are willing to pay 1%. In addition, majorities in an additional eight countries are willing to pay between 0.5% and 1.0%.
Majorities in most countries also support measures that would raise costs for energy and transportation.
Majorities in all countries support "limiting the rate of constructing coal-fired power plants, even if this increases the cost of energy." In China, which is highly reliant on coal, 67% support this measure. On average across all countries polled, 68% support the idea (31% strongly) and 26% oppose it (8% strongly).
Similarly, majorities in 12 countries support "gradually increasing the requirements for fuel efficiency in automobiles, even if this raises the cost of cars and bus fares." Majorities in 11 countries support "gradually reducing government subsidies that favor private transportation, even if this raises its cost." Majorities in all countries polled support "preserving or expanding forested areas, even if this means less land for agriculture or construction."
The poll also asked about helping poor countries adapt to the effects of climate change. Fourteen majorities and one plurality say their countries "should contribute to international efforts to help poor countries deal with these climate-induced changes." Many developing countries (such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Kenya, and Senegal) express more than 90% support for acting in solidarity with other countries facing problems like their own.
WorldPublicOpinion.org operates as a collaborative project involving research centers from around the world that is managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland. The margins of error for each country range from +/-3 to 4 percentage points. The surveys were conducted across the different nations in September and October 2009.

SAGINAW, MI — The Saginaw Spirit are inching closer towards putting together their roster for the 2013-14 season, though it may be difficult to recognize.
Saginaw completed it's two day, three scrimmage camp on Wednesday, Aug. 28 with the white team claiming a 4-3 victory on a Dylan Sadowy goal with a minute remaining to give the white team its second win.
"It was a good camp," Spirit General Manager Jim Paliafito said. "We're not really disappointed with anybody."
But they're excited about almost everybody.
Returning goalie Jake Paterson proved to be a stalwart in goal, but it was some of the new faces in front of him that stole the show.
Cody Payne, who was traded to Saginaw from Plymouth, scored his third goal of the camp in the final scrimmage, while fellow trades Kris Kontos and Sean Callaghan kept up their strong play.
Add in rookies Michael Holmes, Mitchell Stephens and Ryan Orban and Saginaw should be a much different team that last year.
"A lot of guys are actually from the Toronto area, so a lot of guys are pretty familiar with each other and I think it'll be a good group," Paterson said. "It's definitely going to be nice having some of the bigger boys in front of us."
Payne skated on a line with Justin Kea and Nick Moutrey to form a trio that averaged 6-foot-2 and close to 210 pounds, and the defensive pairing of Sean Callaghan and Michael Holmes at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds and 6-foot-2, 166 pounds definitely made the theme of the new Spirit team clear — size.
"You've got to have size," Spirit coach Greg Gilbert said. "You need beef out there to wear down the opposition, and we're starting to put that together."
Payne, who won the West Division last year with the Whalers, certainly likes the group so far.
"We have a lot of speed, skill and size," he said. "Everything you need to get the job done, we just need to put it together."
Over the three scrimmages, Payne, Stephens and Kontos all scored to show how quickly the group is coming together, but now they need to keep it together as they head into the exhibition season and into the regular season.
The two goalie positions are already secured with Paterson and Nikita Serebryakov, and Paliafito said he's very happy with a very deep and skilled group of forwards.
The issue — as it was last year — comes on the back end.
By trading for Callaghan and drafting Holmes and Orban, Saginaw has addressed size among its defensemen, but the loss of Steven Strong, Grant Webermin and Dalton Young leaves them short on experience.
"We just have to get into exhibition games and see how they do, because that's a whole nother level," Paliafito said. "And that's when we start evaluating."

Wu et al1 have shown that periodontal disease is another putative and independent risk factor for cerebrovascular disease, particularly for ischemic stroke. Presently, it is unknown whether the association between periodontal disease and stroke is causal. Several pathogenic pathways make a causal linkage possible. Beck at al2 hypothesized that subjects with genetically determined strong monocytic response to bacterial antigens could be at high risk for developing both periodontal disease and atherosclerosis. It is also possible that a susceptibility to strong inflammatory response could increase the risk of both periodontitis and stroke. Inflammation in the vessel wall plays an essential role not only in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis but also in the erosion or fissuration of plaques and eventually in the rupture of plaques.3
Probability of death within 1 year according to different patterns of changes in serum c-reactive protein levels from admission through discharge. The patients were grouped according to different patterns of c-reactive protein levels from admission to discharge. Group 1 indicates a persistently normal pattern (n = 34 [17.6%]); group 2, an increasing pattern (n = 13 [6.8%]); group 3, a decreasing pattern (n = 57 [29.5%]); and group 4, a pattern of persistent elevation (n = 89 [46.1%]) (log-rank test, P<.001; χ2 test for trend, P<.001). The risk of death at 1 year was derived from Kaplan-Meier curves. The risk was 2.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.3%-13.8%) for patients with a persistently normal pattern; 20.0% (95% CI, 6.6%-47.1%) for those with an increasing pattern; 0% (95% CI, 0%-6.3%) for those with a decreasing pattern; and 27.8% (95% CI, 19.6%-37.9%) for those with a pattern of persistent elevation.

Heading in to do 13.2 this morning. Got 150 on 13.1. My back has been iffy since those last 30 snatches at a weight too high for me to really be doing 30... so my plan is push jerks and step ups for the whole thing.
Awesome job Heatseeker! I agree that step ups are the way to go. I have some friends doing this workout tomorrow, I've shared that strategy with them, we'll see if they listen. I know step ups aren't as sexy, but they are still a killer in their own right.
Canuck- I would agree that the 3 weeks on/1 week off works. I discovered it by accident when I had to take a week off crossfit to recover from bronchitis. I came back stronger, which blew me away! Even though I'm hardly any sort of intense or elite athlete, I do make sure to listen to my body and I don't feel any shame about taking time off when I need it.

heatseeker: 13.2 on my plate today. i may not be able to push 75lbs overhead (I"m not strong enough yet)....hope I don't totally embarass myself. I plan on doing step ups --- I'm 5'11" so easier and faster than jumping. My limiting factor is the 75lb weight bleh (

Goal Reached: 30-09-12 @ 143lb. Now bouncing between 145lb - 149lb. I'd like less bounce and more consistency :-)
Started Cross Fit 20.12.12 ---- Can't wait to submit my success story on the 1st anniversary of starting primal.
257. My plan was to do jerks and step ups from the beginning and to just keep moving. It worked. I never stepped away from the bar or really stopped to catch my breath. This WOD was right up my alley though coming from an endurance background. As soon as the heavy stuff shows up I'll be right back in 14,000th place or wherever I was after 13.1
I'd love to be doing it but there is so much I can't do and I'm having a cortisone injection this week due to a really old injury so that takes me out for two weeks of no impact stuff. But I am taking photos for our box, loving the atmosphere!! Motivates me for next year.
Regarding 13.3... how about I just barf all over your head, Crossfit?
Doing it tomorrow morning, NOT looking forward to it in the slightest. Karen is my least least LEAST favorite workout. Karen plus double unders? How about ugh. (I'm leaving out the muscle ups entirely because a) I can't do one and scaled reps like chest-to-bars don't count, and b) even if I could do one, I doubt I'd finish the wall balls and DUs in time to attempt it. So, my max score to shoot for on this is 240 no matter what.
*Indiana Jones voice* Wall balls... Why'd it have to be wall balls?
New to this forum, so I hope I'm doing this right!
I've been in CrossFit for just over a year and I'm in the Masters 55-59 Women's age group. I feel like I'm cheating by using the lighter weights. Score on 13.1 was 142; score on 13.2 was 230. I'll do 13.3 on Saturday. We did this same workout in our gym about a month ago and my score was 201 with a 14# ball. My age group uses a 10# ball and throws 9 feet on this workout, so I'm hoping to get the maximum of all the wall balls and double unders - 240. No muscle ups for this grandma! Good luck to everyone!
KathyB- Welcome! Great job on the WODs, you don't get that much of a cheat in the masters category, I'm still impressed by your scores!
Yeah...13.3 is just awful. And to boot we've done tons of squats already during our regular programming this week, I can barely walk as it is. I will most likely be taking a pass on this one.
Good luck to all of you who go for it!
13.3 done this morning. Really wanted to get through the wall balls so was pleased to get 8 DU's in as well before the time ran down.
Do what you love and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. if you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching tv. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop, they will be waiting for you when you start doing the things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Some opportunities only come once, seize them.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- Fire Chief Danny Loggins is on administrative leave "indefinitely" from the department.
Trent Willis, chief of staff and communications for Mayor Tommy Battle, confirmed today Loggins is on hiatus from his job. Willis said Loggins is on "personal leave" but he would not say why.
Willis said the department is being run by the two deputy chiefs, Mike Sublett over administration, and Howard Wayne McFarland, over operations.
All city department heads, including Loggins, went on a 90-day temporary status when Battle took office in November.
Willis said Loggins participated in Battle's reviews of every city department including interviewing to be retained as fire chief.
Loggins has been employed with the fire department since 1975. His son, Marine Lance Cpl. Adam Loggins, was killed in Iraq in April 2007.

When asked to discuss a piece of writing that's had a profound impact on her, Kate chose Charles Simic's poem Gray-Headed Schoolchildren. Born in Serbia, Simic came to the US as a teenager, but went on to write his poems in English, win the Pulitzer prize, and become the U.S. Poet Laureate. His poetry is often stark, perhaps reflecting his formative years, spent surviving World War II.

RARITAN TWP. — Mother-of-five Della Wallace wasn't sure if her fellow Hunterdon County residents would patronize a prom shop where the "gently used" tuxedos, prom dresses and accessories are free.
"My worries were for nothing," she said happily this week. Students are finding her new store, The Prom Shoppe, near Hunterdon Central High School at 26 Junction Road. And, they're telling their friends about it.
As a mom, and now a grandmother, the Raritan Township resident is familiar with the high costs of proms. She started the nonprofit Prom Kings and Queens so that "gently-used" prom wear and accessories, including shoes, handbags and jewelry, could find a new home.
The original intent was to help "working-class parents," but no questions are asked of young shoppers, or their parents, and no explanations are expected. Sometimes they're offered, so Wallace knows that the free prom wear is a lifesaver for some students, while for others it's an opportunity to save money that will be spent elsewhere, such as a post-prom activity.
Wallace is happy either way, knowing that beautiful dresses and accessories and handsome tuxedos are being put to use instead of gathering dust in a dark closet. Due to the generosity of the community, she said she has a "very nice selection."
The Prom Shoppe is an arm of the nonprofit Prom Kings and Queens, which is supported by donations and open to students from anywhere in New Jersey. The store is open Mondays and Fridays from 2 to 6 p.m. and weekends 1 to 5 p.m.
Donations are accepted at The Prom Shoppe during business hours or at Flemington Department Store, 151 Route 31 in Raritan Township.
Students may also call to make an appointment at 908-284-0100 or email email@example.com.

Alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) are closely related to blueback herring. Both species are also collectively known as river herring. Alewives, lighter in color than bluebacks, are grayish/silver dorsally and white ventrally. Their relatively large eyes help to distinguish them from American shad. Alewife adults average less than 12 inches in length and weigh about half a pound.
Alewives are anadromous, migrating from the ocean to freshwater specifically to reproduce. Adults enter the Connecticut River as early as March and spawn through June in ponds and slow-moving waters. Juveniles are found in the watershed throughout the spring, summer, and fall, foraging in the mainstem of the Connecticut River before they migrate to the ocean.
Alewives are found from Nova Scotia to the Carolinas, with landlocked populations in the Great Lakes and in lakes and ponds along the East Coast. They are native to the Connecticut River, where they only utilize the lowest portion of the watershed (up to the Connecticut/Massachusetts boundary, about 70 miles upstream). The State of Connecticut also manages landlocked alewife populations as forage for game species in lakes and ponds.
The alewife is protected under the Anadromous Fish Conservation Act. Alewife numbers decreased throughout the 1800's and the first half of the 1900's due to pollution and dams. The restoration efforts begun in the 1960's have helped to restore these populations. However, alewives have become very popular as bait and food and are easily netted in large quantities during spawning runs. Some runs have decreased recently due to over-fishing. Striped bass, as predators, may also be taking a toll on numbers.
The alewife is a Federal trust fish, meaning that the Federal government has some responsibility for its recovery. Concern has been raised as a result of the species' recent decline in the watershed. Restoration work is underway, including the construction of fish passage facilities in Connecticut to provide access to more spawning grounds. The State of Connecticut operates a program to assist runs of alewife, especially along the coast. Federal agencies, private conservation groups, and sport organizations are also participating in alewife restoration efforts. Populations continue to be monitored. Habitat surveys for alewives and blueback herring have been performed in both Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Historical Traveler Reviews Northwoods Inn Lake Placid
Fantastic Stay at Northwoods Inn
You cannot beat the rooms or location for the price. Northwoods Inn has extremely comfortable beds and our room had a ton of space. The hotel is centrally located and is within walking distance to all the great shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay!
A Great Escape
I stayed in Northwoods Inn as a get-away weekend for me and my girlfriend. Having not visited Lake Placid in many years, I wasnt sure what to expect. As it turned out, it was an amazing weekend, complimented by a fantastic hotel. The room was clean and up to date. The staff at the hotel were professional and very attentive. They not only made the hotel feel warm and inviting, they were also very knowledable and helpful when it came to the local activities and information. As they knew the area very well, they were able to offer information about where to go and what to do, which helped us make the most of the time we had there. I will definately be back to Lake Placid, and there is no doubt about where we will be staying. I would reccomend this hotel to anyone who wants to be able to enjoy the beauty of Lake Placid, and also be able to really relax at a beautiful hotel.
Great, kid-friendly value!
If you are looking for an inexpensive way to enjoy Lake Placid, especially if you have kids, this is the place! Our room was clean and comfortable (especially the beds!) and big enough to handle a pack-n-play and all the kid stuff we tend to drag along. We had a great view of Main Street from our room and meals were a snap since the restaurant is right downstairs and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. (It has to be one of the best breakfasts in town! Great French toast!) The Cabin, a recreational room that turns into a bar at night, is a great place for the kids to relax and play games between activities. They serve a pretty mean Bloody Mary, too.
The hotel is right smack in the middle of Main Street, of course, so it's convenient to everything. The staff is friendly and quick with suggestions for things to do and places to explore.
We had a great time and will definitely stay there in the future!
WOW- Move on down the street!!!
WOW, I am not sure words can explain the condition of the "newly renovated" hotel? We were there with a hockey team so we are use to being put in the crummy part of the hotel but, this was beyond that.
Several of our families arrived at 4am the morning prior to our arrival and checked in and out before the paper work was completed.. When I arrived and checked into the room we did not unpack and mind you I had 3 skaters and thier bags so I am use to adverse conditions..
When I went to the front desk to ask about the renovated rooms they said they had a few and were our other families coming back? I have to say the staff was very helpful and accommadating. Since we were one of the 1st teams to check in I was able to pick the best(???) rooms. Needless to say there was a hockey tournament and ALL other hotels were full.
I will just get to the meat of the property:::
The staff was VERY accommadating and nice
Yes, the location on main street was great
The food we ordered to our room was good
Oh yeah price, you get what you pay for!!!
WELL-- The parking situation is awful!!!
Let's see we had to clean our own rooms since the cleaning staff was gone, I was able to at least get a cleaning cart.
My husband cleaned the bathrooms which was a 1st
The elevators were beyond scarry- One the hockey bags did not fit in them so we carried them 5 flights several times daily, they would just stop, Not to mention the toilet plunger and other debris in them.
There were dead bugs, holes in the ceiling, walls, exposed pipes and ALL furniture was stained, the sheets were also stained and please do not take the pillow cases off!!! To end it all we had cold water the morning after checking in!!!
As a group we decided to make light of the situation and enjoy the Olympic experience for the kids, since our other option was to just cry!!! We had a family stay a few extra days, pre planned, and learned that the property was foreclosed, should have been condemed!!
I would hope that the new owners who took over in July 05 are making the needed improvements but, from reading a review from January of 06 they are far from there.. It has been 6 months and new beds are nice but, the structure, windows, padding in the carpet and common areas need to be addressed.
I am and Interval member, and this Inn is also in Interval, and as a trade I would be truely dissappointed in the quality of this hotel/Inn.
Our hotel has never had an issue with "dead bugs" and frankly I am appalled that we are advertising to the world such a preposterous claim. As to the issue of not having cleaning service, our housekeeping staff is dedicated and committed to offering our guests full housekeeping services and absolute cleanliness. We do not enter rooms with "Do Not Disturb" signs and it may have been removed in the evening after our staff had left. I am sorry for the inconvenience of having you clean your own room and would never want that to happen to any of our guests. We will be certain to address this issue for future guests.
We recently purchased the Northwoods Inn and continue to make drastic improvements daily. I am sorry for the difficulties you experienced and would NEVER want any of our guests to experience the same. Currently, we are installing a brand new elevator and completely renovating our bar.
The youth hockey programs are a valued group for our hotel and we look forward to a long and wonderful relationship with these organizations. Please feel free to contact me if you plan to return to Lake Placid.
Never Again
My family and I are fairly tolerant of travel conditions but the Northwoods Inn was so bad it prompted me to write this review. First off there's not enough parking for the hotel, if the tiny lot behind the hotel is full you must find someplace else in the always busy Lake Placid area. Not good epically if you're traveling there in the winter and it's well below zero as it was for our stay. The room we stayed in was just so-so. It looked tired and in need of some new wallpaper and paint - kind of dingy. Very cramped especially when the sleeper sofa was used. It was very hard to make your way across the 'suite'. The heater was a wall mounted all in 1 air conditioner and heater. It was a pain to use. If you had it on low it cycled on and off all night loud enough to wake us up. If you had it off the room got too cold. If you had it on constantly the room got too hot... Take your pick. No hot water in the morning. For the 3 days my family of 4 was there, we only had 1 hot shower. There's a little kitchen area, we used the toaster it set off the smoke detectors and no we didn't burn the bagels. Each time we toasted the alarm went off, not too useful. I could go on and on but take my advice and go somewhere else, next time we will.
We recently purchased the hotel and our working to improve the facilities daily. Your feedback is valuable and our staff takes each of these reviews to heart. As we continue the aggressive renovation process we can promise our guests clean and comfortable accommodations, gorgeous views from many of our rooms, convenience to all of the shopping and dining choices in Lake Placid and the friendliest staff in Lake Placid. We sincerely appreciate your patience and would welcome an opportunity to invite you back to Lake Placid to see many of the wonderful improvements we have made since even your recent visit. Thank you again for your feedback.
Adirondack Style
I am in total agreement w/ "Comfortable,Good Prices". After reading other reviews, I was a bit cautious ahead of my recent President's Weekend stay. Beginning w/ Mr. Fink accomodating our early arrival at the front desk thru 2 EXCELLENT b'fasts' in their restaurant--Northern Exposure, we were VERY satisfied with our stay. I have stayed in 4* hotels worldwide and yes this is not one of them, as some reviewers feel it shld be measured against. Yes, the elevator is slow--we walked and had no pblm, yes, parking is limited--but it is at the Ritz Carlton in Boston too. N'woods Inn is what it shld be-- an Adk. Inn w/ a GREAT location, a friendly staff and old Adk. style, charm and pace. I would recommend for guests to just relax and enjoy the North Country atmosphere. I have stayed at 7-8 LP hotels in the past but next time, I am checking out the No. Woods availability first.
Comfortable, Good Prices
I've been to Lake Placid at least 12 times and never stayed at the Northwoods. The last time was at the Hilton at $209 a night and I was next to a family of young, screaming hockey players. The father was in the hallway yelling on a cell phone. The employees didn't care if I left that hour. Typical hotel anywhere you go. The Northwoods is more accomodating to mature couples and families, although my room next door sounded like they were in our room with us. That noise reduction was accomplished with the closing of the bedroom doors. What a nice additive to help drown out the sounds of inconsiderate guests. Maybe parts of the hotel are a little older, but they recreated these areas to give you the unmistaken Adirondack feel. The restaurant is clean and has just updated their menu. The Cabin bar is cozy and inviting with its large fireplace; burning real wood. Not a gas fed reflection of warmth. As much time you'll spend in your room along with the price is just the reason you'll want to choose this hotel. Views are spectacular if you're there for the look of the New York State Adirondacks. We had fun here.
No, No, don't go!!!
We stayed at the Northwoods Inn over New Year's, and it was so bad that we checked out early! Our "suite" was tiny, our daughter's room was cold, the only elevator was so slow and rickety that we walked up and down four flights of stairs. The front desk clerk was friendly, and the bed was a tempurpedic (nice), but that's the only nice thing we can say. The hotel is depressing and tired. We moved to the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza...much better!
Location is great; amenities only so-so
My wife and I were first-time vistiors to Lake Placid and the Northwoods Inn turned out to be in the perfect location. It is right in the center of town and it's a reasonable walk in either direction to get to all of the restaurants, shops, movie theater, dog sled rides, tobogaan rides, the Olympic rinks and speed skating oval. Relatively short drive (10 minutes or so) gets you to the other Olympic venues like bobsled, luge, and ski jumps. The room itself was not great. It's old-seeming. The couch was neither particuarly comfortable nor clean. Not out and out dirty, but just old and beat up with some visible stains. The walls are paper thin and we heard a lot of noise from the room above us and those next to us. The beds are relatively new and Tempurpedic, which I have mixed feelings about, but I know some people love them. Parking at the hotel was very difficult on Saturday (very few spaces in the hotel lot), but the staff upon check in provided us with a map directing us to a nearby lot, which was not very far away. The parking situation was a lot better on Sunday and Monday and we were able to park in the hotel lot both of those days. Elevator is very slow (we were on the 5th floor) and taking the stairs is definitely quicker most of the time. The hotel also has a restaurant. We attempted to dine there for breakfast one morning, but left before ever placing an order because the service was so agonizingly slow. Despite the numerous shortcomings, our experience was pretty good because we didn't spend a lot of time at the hotel anyway and we didn't go in expecting top-of-the-line luxury. Given the state of the hotel, the price seemed high ($169 for Sat. night and $99 for Sunday night), but I don't really know how this compares to the other hotels in the area because I've never stayed at any of them.
New Ownership - What a difference
A historic hotel in the center of the beautiful village of Lake Placid. We have been staying at the Northwoods Inn for years and until this visit, it was just another hotel. We had the opportunity to meet the new owners of the property effective July 1st and heard about some of their innovative restoration ideas. Although I am sure it will take them a little time to get the property back to its original charm, the hotel clearly is on the right track. They were in the process of replacing the carpet in the entrance, carrying in truckloads of new furniture and we even witnessed a service training session at the front desk.
We look forward to visiting the Northwoods Inn next time in town and just hope it remains a great VALUE! Good Luck.

Participants of either conference are strongly encouraged to attend both events. However, please note that the two events are separate and independent, and questions regarding either should be directed to the appropriate organizers.
Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstract proposals for individual presentations on topics related to the history, anthropology, philosophy, or social studies of science, medicine, and technology dealing with issues of gender and sexuality. Abstracts should be no more than 350 words, and should make clear how the proposed submission addresses the conference theme. Please include your name, contact details, institutional affiliation, the title of your proposed presentation, and details of any specific audio visual requirements for the presentation. If you wish to withdraw your proposal, please inform us as soon as possible. Please submit your proposal electronically (either as a MS Word document or as text in the body of an e-mail) to Howard Chiang (email@example.com) and Nathan Ha (firstname.lastname@example.com) by the deadline of FEBRUARY 29, 2008. Students whose papers are accepted are encouraged to seek financial support from their home institutions to participate in the conference, but there may be a limited amount of funding available for students whose home departments are unable to subsidize their travel.

Fitness: A Treadmill Mom Goes for the Gold (cont.)
A Lifetime of Fitness
Clark's long been able to juggle a full life and fitness. She got a running scholarship to college and continued to run through medical school, residency, and two pregnancies. While most women find the idea of jogging with 30 pounds of extra weight and a bulging belly a bit daunting, Clark is nonchalant about it. "I did it for the whole nine months," she says casually. "It was really easy."
Still, her first 26.2-miler was only five years ago. She hadn't raced since college, and starting up after so many years wasn't easy, Clark admits. But she was able to squeeze it in.
Squeezing More Training Into Less Time
While most competitive marathoners log 100 or 120 miles a week, Clark puts in just 50 to 70 miles, plus one session of weight training. When the temperature gets Arctic and the roads are slick and icy, Clark simply laces up indoors, bounding along to nowhere for about an hour and a half each day on her treadmill. To stave off boredom, she cues up movies in the television and VCR. And winter isn't all bad, she says; she fits in valuable cross training by cross-country skiing. Sometimes, that means taking her boys along.
Working around the kids' schedule can be a challenge. During the day, they're in school and then day care until 6:30, so when Clark gets off work she can fit in a run before picking them up. In winter, the kids participate in "Junior Nordic," a program that teaches young children to cross-country ski, and again, Clark skis right along with them. During the summer, the boys play soccer, and Clark admits that then the time-juggling gets more problematic. (She can hardly jump onto the field and join in.) Often when she heads outdoors to run, she takes her kids along in a double jogging stroller.
Make Exercise Non-Negotiable at Any Age
As her adaptable training regimen suggests, Clark doesn't let exercise slide because of busy schedules or stress. "It has to be of paramount importance," she says. "Even when I was a resident [read: overworked and exhausted], I made the time to go out and run three times a week, even if it was only for short runs."
She gets laced up for those runs all on her own -- that is, you won't find a nagging personal trainer or a stopwatch-wielding coach masterminding her exercise regime. John Clark (no relation), a local high school cross-country coach and friend, chalks up this kind of self-propelled determination to her age. While Clark's 38 years would seem to be an impediment -- most of her competitors are in their 20s -- it may be one of her greatest advantages. She's focused, John Clark says. "She knows what she wants to do, and she's got the confidence to go out and do it."
The Road to Sydney
On the day of the Women's Olympic Marathon Trials in Columbia, S.C., last February, the thermometer soared to a stifling 84 degrees. The field was packed with runners who had better times and bigger names, including Joan Benoit Samuelson (the 1984 Olympic champion and world-record holder) and Anne Marie Lauck (a two-time Olympian), as well as Kristy Johnson and Libbie Hickman, both of whom had run under the 2:33:30 qualifying time in other marathons.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — An Alabama man has been charged with illegally keeping deer as pets, including one buck that mauled and partially blinded him.
State wildlife officials said Friday that they charged Julius Dunsmore with illegally possessing seven deer.
Dunsmore said that he has kept deer as pets for years without any problems. He walked into a holding pen on Nov. 30 and was attacked by a large buck that he adopted after its mother was killed by a car. The deer's antler severed the optic nerve leading to an eye.
Authorities killed the deer. They are awaiting lab results to determine if the animals were infected.
Dunsmore said deer are extremely dangerous and he cautioned anyone from keeping them as pets. Wildlife officials said bucks sometimes attack during the breeding season.

|Driving in Southern California.... Drivers down here do something that drivers in other places don't. Regardless of how fast traffic is moving, they whip right up to the person ahead of them and glide along about five yards from their rear bumper. There are these long snakes of cars, "Cluster Fucks" as Tim calls them, whipping along in the fast lane, all practically holding hands. It's a wonder... it's a wonder all sorts of awful things don't happen more often. It's creepy. It's stressful to watch, and I'm sure being in that sort of "Cluster Fuck" is stressful indeed. I watched people putting their lives on the line, endangering years of their lives and the lives of others in order to shave seconds off their commute. Maybe if they get home early from their job it'll save their marriage, who knows. Maybe it's worth it.
This show wasn't quite as glamorous as the previous two. This was more just an ordinary L.A. show. No movie stars. The rock bands we played with were loaded with semi-famous people, but I'll be damned if I can tell you who they were. The people, I mean. The bands were called Straight To Video and The Urinals. The guitarist/singer in Straight To Video is our old friend/acquaintance/videographer David, who has lived happily in L.A. for some time now. He's a hoot, it was nice to see him.
Most of the pleasure of this show was the socializing. My friend Dean was in town with his friend Barbara, Dean's from Seattle, I know him from elementary school for pete's sake, what was he doing in L.A.? Apparently he was staying down in South Shitsville with some friends or relatives of Barbara's. He'd been looking forward to a week in L.A. but here he was staying at the end of a dirt road three hours outside of town. Poor guy. I shot pool and failed again to down more than a single drink. Something may be wrong with me.
We stayed the night at Sam Velde's. You'll remember him from last year's trip. We stayed up late last year singing Cult songs while I thought about his girlfriend, or something like that, I don't remember. Well, tonight was a quiet one. Sam stayed at his girlfriend's house and we all slept like logs, oh! Except Andy! Again! Three times! He attacked me! Three times! He'd start pawing me, I'd wake up and say "Andy!" and he'd sort of grunt with surprise and then giggle himself back to sleep. Shit! What a whore! I felt like such trash. The first time I woke him out of his reverie he said in wonderment, "who are you?" It was totally corny. Three times! Unreal. Someone give that boy some real lovin' & get him off my back.

well basically the gyro is designed to cater many different fliers.. so it depends on how you like the gyro to be setup.. some like it to be soft.. some wants it fast for easy change in 3D. It depends on the flier. so basically the gyro is designed to be adjustable. This is the problem...since its programmable it becomes more harder for a newbie flier to setup. and if the setup is not good then the flying experience will be a disaster.
The small helis with the built in gyros were factory tuned.. and is most likely setup for new fliers. This will cater the hovering and Flyout stages.. but once you move in to harder flights (sport /3D) then you will have to upgrade it to the next level of 3D helicopters.
don't get me wrong.. FBL heli are really stable if its setup correctly. and the helis mechanicals are clean correct and within the parameters of the gyro. Once you get the setup at its best. FBL is far stable than FB in hovering as the gyro really works wonders.. but it is setup incorrectly then it will be a living nightmare..
to tell you frankly i too am having a really hard time making parameters work on these gyros.. its always a trial and error on every heli I have built. Although they are both the same model helis the parameters do have slight differences. SO it just shows that no 2 helis are a like,.
but once you get the parameters dialed in and have done fine tuning, most likely you will not do any changes anymore.. just fly fly and fly...
here is a sample i built last weekend.. I got hold of the CX250FBL heli and got it built over night. took me a hour or so of adjusting the gyro as it did not take the 450 parameters in it.. it really had to make changes on the PID settings were in its more of an internal programming change... and not a preset one.. but once it was dialed in.. the heli was stable and better than my FB one...

I'm dealing with a vibration issue on my v4 heli during hover.
Found the torque tube drive gear failed. I have no idea how this happen -- probably a bind somewhere. The heli was hovering great then a nasty vibration and safetly landed.
Also found the tail rotor holder very stiff. removed and the larger bearing is bad on one of the holders. tried to pop it out but it completely came apart and now I can't get the outer bearing ring out from the housing.
Then the tail rotor shaft gear when completely assembled has about a 1mm play. Add to it the torque tube bearing ring (the washer that holds the bearing in place) came loose. I did apply a small amount of CA but i guess it wasn't enough. The torque tube rod was also bent.
I thing I'm just going to buy a complete Align tail assembly and tail boom mount.
I should have gotten a drive belt version! Well a trip to the LHS this week is needed! Back to watching Fineless assembly videos.

Hey everyone,
I finished the CX450 BA build last week. Since I have a Devo 10 I just got the 2702v-d rx. The 2702 is a rx and gyro for the Devo. I had no problems setting it up. It flies super stable. Sonnebee was correct the parts on the BA are superior. Here are a few pics.

Finally a successfull hover!!
The heli has a lot less vibration then my tune B400! Oh man the heli is very responsive compare to the B400. I think I'm going to enjoy this bird. She still need fine tuning before I take her out on the field this weekend. The tail holds pretty good - still needs some tuning.
I replaced all the gears to Align. Also the tail blade grips was replaced with Align along with the torque tube.
I'm glad this heli is compatible with Align parts. The LHS stocks everything for Align.

yup there is 2 roller bearing inside the aluminum housing.. unlike what align did was to embed the bearing on the plastic boom support holder. CPX made a housing for the bearing to have a better hold on the plastic boom holder housing. This made the holder more robust...

Got the copterx v4 up and running and took the bird out today. Flew 5 packs.
Still had a wobble issue on the first pack but change the P gains to 63 and decreased RC dead band. That worked!! Did some sport flying and I definitely like it better than my B400. Very happy with this bird.

Well I was able to test hover my cx450v4 belt.
Fusonic tail servo 9257 metal geared... Burnt after 4 hovers.... Luckily I was able to land safely with no damages.
Waiting for a new tail servo... No fusonic this time.
Noticed the tail boom has a tendency to rotate clockwise while flying... Just 1-2 mm, any idea why or how to fix it?
A note for anyone looking forward to use a devo7 and rx802: set the swash plate to be normal on the devo7... Otherwise you won't be able to get correct swashplate movements.
I'll be back when I'll get more fligths and stories to tell...

Hi all
Just received my CopterX 450Pro V4 Flybarless Belt drive tail, and I took the tail assembly apart without much care and out of nowhere 2 shims appeared the shims are 1.9mm inner diameter and as I don't have a proper manual for this assembly (it's different from Trex SEv2 and from CopterX BA and 450SEv2 - no belt roller is one difference) does anyone have a reference for this tail assembly?
Also on tightening the 3 long bolts that have the long tubes is there any special precaution to have. I've noticed that if one tightens them too much the belt shaft gets stucked and offers lots of resistance.

This volume is the record of a conference held in Gatlinburg, Tenn., in May, 1957, sponsored by the American Institute of Biological Sciences. Participating in the conference were many outstanding men working in the field of aging and scientists in all fields of biology and medicine, both here and abroad.
The first part of the book is a transcript of symposia on various aspects of aging. These are most interesting. The discussions range from definitions and measurements of aging to discussions of aging at the molecular and cellular levels. One session is devoted to methodology in attacking the problem. At the end of each symposium, the related papers which appear in the second part of the book are listed for the convenience of the reader.
The second part consists of papers submitted at the meeting. Several are devoted to radiation effects, because ionizing radiation is one positive tool which can

Former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel has been hired by the Houston Texans, CBS' Jason La Canfora reports.
Crennel has signed a 3-year deal to be the Texans' next defensive coordinator, La Canfora reported.
Crennel was fired as the Chiefs head coach after a horrible season in 2012 when the team managed to win only 2 games. Crennel did not work in the NFL in 2013.

This creamy, glossy lipstick comes in a beautiful range of nude to vibrant shades and glides on smoothly with a lightweight, wet-shine finish. The medium-sheer pigmentation makes it easy to apply on the go (almost like a tinted lip balm) while imparting enough color to make an attractive impact.
If you tend to suffer from lip color feathering into lines, this lipstick will be too slick for you, but otherwise it is an ultra-smooth lipstick that provides a gorgeous pop of color.
Note: This lipstick contains fragrance (which can be potentially irritating), but the amount is low enough that it shouldn't be a problem.
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135 and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).

Comments about L'Oreal Paris Colour Caresse by Colour Riche:
I have always loved Loreal lipsticks and have used Color Riche for years. I have also liked the Loreal Balm for low effort days or days I want the "no makeup" look. Well, Loreal Color Caresse is a happy medium between those two products. It is creamy and hydrating but still has good color payoff. That "Loreal lipstick smell" does not bother me and I am someone who is sensitive to fragrance. If you like a lip product that is somewhere between lipstick and balm, you will enjoy this product.

Feels nice when you apply it. But after a day of wearing it I get a feeling that my lips got dry.In the Netherlands it's pretty excpencive, this is anther reason why I give it a lower rate.
A lipstick for those who don't like lipstick.

I love that this goes on super smooth and feels moisturizing on my lips. The nude/pink shades go on soft and beautifully- perfect for those of us who are scared by lipsticks!
L'Oreal Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Budget-friendly prices; good makeup removers; wide assortment of self-tanning options; one of the best, most comprehensive makeup collections at the drugstore, with superb options in almost every category; the mascaras are a tough act to follow.
Weaknesses: Jar packaging hinders some of the skincare formulas; many of their skincare formulas contain problematic amounts of fragrance and/or other irritants; exaggerated anti-aging claims.
L'Oreal's extensive makeup collection retains its stature as one of the better selections at the drugstore, though they have stiff competition from Revlon and, in some cases, sister company Maybelline New York. In recent years L'Oreal has made significant strides with foundation shades, powder textures, concealers, and, of course, superlative mascaras that rarely fail to impress. Their lipsticks are excellent and you will find many L'Oreal makeup products have a Lancome counterpart, and that the differences are minor—if there are any at all.
L'Oreal's displays in many drugstores reflect better-organized products and shade categories (though testers are still scarce). Given the number of lipsticks they sell, it only makes sense to put them in color families so consumers have a better shopping experience. Their True Match products are also sensibly laid out, but the rest of the foundations aren't as organized, likely due to the smaller selection of shades. Speaking of foundations, L'Oreal has made further strides by offering more that provide sufficient UVA protection. Revlon still has the edge for consistently launching impressive foundations with sunscreen, but at least L'Oreal is (finally) catching up.
The bottom line is that every category of L'Oreal's makeup has some winning (and in some cases, benchmark-setting) products.
Unfortunately, despite the brands' enormous presence in the beauty industry, L'Oreal's moisturizers and treatment products are a nearly all unremarkable and repetitive. When it comes to moisturizers or serums, just about anything from Dove, Olay, Neutrogena, or Aveeno is preferred. L'Oreal does well with most of their cleansers, along with scrubs and self-tanning products, but given the widespread availability and financial resources of this line, they could be doing so much more. The good news is their makeup has made major strides and now ranks as the best overall color collection at the drugstore—imagine the results if their skin care followed suit.

HEART-FELT tributes have been paid to a Bromsgrove teenager who died after being in collision with a car on Tuesday night (May 13).
The incident, involving 17-year-old Samuel Chambers, happened at 10.20pm at the junction of the A38 and New Road.
The teenager suffered severe head injuries and, despite the best efforts by ambulance staff, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Those who knew the former South Bromsgrove High School student took to our Facebook page to leave their tributes and on Wednesday night (May 14), young people who knew him gathered at the spot where the incident happened to remember him and lay flowers. There was also a chef's hat, bearing signatures, left at the scene as Sam worked as a chef at the Bromsgrove Harvester.
One of the messages left with the flowers stated: "Dear Sam, you were the nicest most loyal lad I've ever met. Forever missed, love you brother, Jack Kirk."
Another of the cards, from Nancy, said she could not believe he had gone and described him as 'the kindest funniest and craziest lad she had ever known'.
"We'll never forget you Sam. You were truly amazing and my thoughts go out to Hannah and all your family. Good Bless. Nancy," it read.
Another one said: "Dear Sam, taken too early, a lovely young man. So polite and well mannered. We are honoured to have known you. Goodnight and God bless sweetie. Jackie and John, Andi's mom and dad."
Jackie Wheeler wrote on our Facebook page: "Such a wonderful young man, so sad, God bless, remembering a great day at Notting hill carnival, with you, thinking of your parents and family I am sure they are so proud of you, so polite, well mannered and great fun to be around. We are honoured to have known you.
God bless sweetie x."
On Wednesday, Helen Coleman posted: "So sad seeing all the young people gathered at the A38/New Road junction this evening.
"May the young man who lost his life Rest in Peace knowing that he was loved by so many."
Staff from the Forest Harvester also paid tribute to Sam through a statement which read: "Sam was a great kid, a hard worker and real pleasure to have in our team.
"He'd worked for us for around 12 months and had a promising future ahead of him.
"He will be missed by everyone."
West Mercia Police have appealed for any witnesses or anyone with any information to call PC Sarah Skelding from the Operational Policing Unit on 101.
"This incident has tragically resulted in the death of a young man and our thoughts are with his family at this sad time for them.
"We need to establish the full circumstances of how this happened and therefore if anyone witnessed the collision or noticed either the teenager or the car involved immediately beforehand then please get in touch with us." added PC Skelding.
Police confirmed the Worcestershire Coroner had been informed and said an inquest would be opened in due course.
The Toyota driver, who was from Redditch, was treated for shock, but he and the passenger suffered no further injuries.

Mitt Romney has focused his 2012 presidential campaign on claims that he can create jobs because he ran Bain Capitol for 25 years. However, critics claims his budget, tax reform, and deregulation plans say otherwise.
"If Obama offers what well-paid elites call a jobless recovery, Romney offers the only thing worse: a promise to restore the policies that led to the joblessness that made a recovery necessary," according to the Washington Post.
The Romney budget, tax cut, and deregulation plans do bear a striking resemblance to George W. Bush's economic programs, which led to fewer jobs, an exploding deficit, and a financial market meltdown that caused the worst recession in 70 years.
"Under President Bush, the economy stopped shedding private sector jobs in July of 2003, fully 30 months into his administration. From that point until May of 2004, the economy added just 1.5 million private sector jobs, an increase of only 1.4 percent," according to Think Progress.
After inheriting a very deep economic hole in 2008, President Obama did not turn the economy into a thriving marketplace. But imagine what could have happened if Romney had the helm back then. His tax cut proposal and defense-spending increases alone could have send the U.S. off the cliff and taken the world economy with it.
Obama's recession could have easily been Romney's depression.
"Lower taxes, fewer regulations, more domestic energy production, promises of deficit reduction that are quickly overwhelmed by increased defense spending and reduced tax revenues, and glossy rhetoric about economic freedom pretty much defined the Bush administration's economic policy," according to the Washington Post. "And how did that economic policy work out? It was a disaster."
Yet Romney still believes in George W. Bush economics.
"Mitt Romney couldn't substantially distinguish his economic policies from former President George W. Bush's during an interview with NBC's Brian Williams on Wednesday, saying only that he would "take action to get America on track to have a balanced budget,'" according to Think Progress.
However in typical Romney fashion, the former Bain Capital CEO performed the verbal gymnasics he has become famous for and said absolutely nothing.
"Restoring economic freedom" is not a detailed plan. It's a sound bite. Romney also said he wants to increase trade, but was not specific about whether or not that trading would include American jobs in exchange for corporate profits. He wants to pump more oil out of the ground, rather than move America toward cheaper, cleaner, renewable energy sources. That is the path of the past, not a plan for the future.
Bush was a failed president by just about every standard, and not a model that deserves repeating by Romney, or anyone else in the Oval Office.
Perhaps someone should buy Romney a calculator, a calandar, and a history book - and teach him how to use them before we let him run for president.
