Lead in lipstick causing cancer
I have recently read that many lipsticks contain lead and this can cause cancer - is this true?
The UK has strict laws about the production of cosmetic products. Manufacturers cannot sell a new product to the public before it has been safety tested. An organisation called The Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) provides information about regulation of cosmetics in the UK. The CTPA abides by regulations set out by the European Community. These list substances that are banned from cosmetics. Lead is banned from all cosmetics, apart from hair dyes.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the lead content in food and cosmetics. Their last survey of 400 lipsticks in 2011 found very low levels of lead. The FDA does not believe these levels are harmful.

2013 wrap-up: A March to remember; hurricane season falls flat
- 2:35 pm Tuesday, December 31st, 2013 by John Nelander
The weather year of 2013 was as notable for what didn't happen as what did — there were no U.S. landfalling hurricanes during the sixth-weakest tropical storm season since 1950. But there were plenty of other meteorological surprises, including an historically cold March that featured 48 cold temperature records tied or broken statewide.
For the first time in 64 years, March was colder at Palm Beach International Airport than the meteorological winter months of December, January and February, the National Weather Service in Miami said. The same was true for Fort Lauderdale and Naples, but in Miami the last time that [More]
Mild temperatures set to continue into new year

Palm Beach and South Florida have managed to avoid the usual shots of cold northern air this season that can drop overnight temperatures down into the 40s — and sometimes even the 30s. And after an unusually warm December wraps up on Tuesday, it looks like this run of mile winter weather is set to continue right into 2014.
National Weather Service forecasters in Miami are keeping a wary eye on computer models for next weekend, as the often-reliable European model hints at a blast of cold air making it as far south as Miami. But the NWS' own model, the [More]
Raucous weather forecast for East Coast; rain for Palm Beach

Predicted rainfall totals through Monday. (Credit: NOAA/ WPC)
The U.S. Southeast, and the East Coast, are expected to be hammered this weekend with heavy rain, starting with parts of the northern Gulf Coast and then spreading up into the Atlantic States.
Up to 3 inches were forecast by the National Weather Service's rainfall prediction center, from extreme southeastern Louisiana east to Pensacola as a low pressure system forms in the Gulf of Mexico and then slides east over North Florida.
Graphical forecasts showed more than 2 inches of rain aiming at coastal North and South Carolina, but the heaviest rain may remain just [More]

Projected rainfall amounts through Monday. (Credit: NOAA/ CPC)
It looks like Palm Beach will have one more shot at adding to the rainfall totals in what has overall been a fairly dry month.
It's true that the area is officially more than an inch and a half ahead of average for this this time of the month, but that doesn't tell the whole story. Most of the 4.18 inches in the bucket in December is the result of a 2.70-inch downpour on Dec. 1 as a few rain cells drifted up the coast and virtually parked themselves over Central Palm Beach County for several [More]
A weather-wise look at Christmases past
- 3:00 pm Tuesday, December 24th, 2013 by John Nelander
We're entering the time of the year with the widest temperature swings, when summer-like heat can be replaced with an Arctic blast that sends citrus growers running for the smudge pots.
Wednesday is 65th anniversary of the warmest Christmas on record in West Palm Beach and the 24th anniversary of the coldest. That's 87 degrees in 1948 and 28 degrees in 1989, when a hard freeze wiped out $5.1 billion in agricultural products and snow flurries were spotted in the Everglades.
The average Christmas Day high, based on 30-years of data from 1981 to 2010, is 75 and the low is 58. [More]
Palm Beach still on a roll with record-setting weather
- 3:22 pm Monday, December 23rd, 2013 by John Nelander
More warm low temperature records were broken in South Florida Sunday from Miami up to Palm Beach — including one that has been on the books for more than a century. Miami's low fell to 76 degrees, breaking the previous low of 75 set in 1911.
The low in Fort Lauderdale was 77, eclipsing the mark of 75 set in 2006. The low temperature at Palm Beach International Airport dropped to just 77, degrees, breaking the record for the highest minimum temperature of 74 set way back in 1929. The low in Palm Beach was also 77.

Records, records, all around — and not the kind on which Bing Crosby sings White Christmas, either.

On the Southeast Coast, Palm Beach International Airport, Fort Lauderdale and Miami all came with record warm low temperatures on Saturday. Miami's 75 tied a record set in 1975; Fort Lauderdale's 75 tied a mark set in 2006; and the 76 low at PBIA smashed [More]
Winter solstice arrives on balmy winds, 80-degree highs

It might be hard to notice with the temperatures in the low 80s, but winter arrives right about the time you're picking up the lunch menu from your favorite restaurant, or perhaps ordering a refreshing cold iced tea. The ice in the tea will be about the only nod to life in the frozen North as local temperatures climb to near record levels under warm December sunshine.
The winter solstice arrival: 12:11 p.m. Saturday.

Another round of record warm nights may be on the way this weekend as winds shift to the southeast, bringing balmy air off the warm Atlantic.
The record warm minimum temperature at the Palm Beach airport on Saturday morning is 73 set in 2006, and the forecast low is 73. On Sunday, the record warm low is 74, and the forecast low is 74. Temperatures could be a degree or two warmer than that on the island.

In Nevada and Arizona CASH 1 offers Personal or Title Installment Loans. These are unsecured or secured loans with fixed repayment periods designed to help you get fast cash when needed. The amount of the Personal Loans can range from $150-$1,500 and are intended to cover your short term financial needs. A Car Title Loan can range from $150-$50,000 depending on your vehicle's value and your ability to repay the loan.
Maintaining and following a budget doesn't always work out as planned. At times you find yourself short on cash. Many of us live paycheck to paycheck and have weekly or monthly budgets that do not allow for unforeseen expenses. For some it's as easy as going to bank for a loan or using a credit card. Unfortunately for others a lack of credit or good credit can make finding the additional funding nearly impossible. CASH 1 understands that emergencies happen and everyone needs some financial help from time to time. When properly utilized these types of loans can be a helpful tool to relieve your financial strain. The funds you receive can be used for anything you could think of; car repairs, home repairs, school expenses, utility bills, plane ticket for a family emergency, veterinarian expenses, medical bills, or just a little extra cash.
Unlike traditional short term cash advances, these loans are spread out over a specified number of months making it possible to borrow more money and repay the loan over time with a lower associated payment. no credit check installment loans in Nevada for CASH 1 is for a period of 90 days, or a three month term. A CASH 1 Nevada or Arizona Title Installment Loan has a repayment period not to exceed 210 days. As with all of the loan products offered by CASH 1, there is never a prepayment penalty, so you can pay your loan back prior to the term and only pay interest on the money you borrow for the time you borrow it.
To begin the process fill out an application online, over the phone, or at any one of our Nevada or Arizona locations. Once you have been approved, your cash can be picked up in store.
Personal Loans and Title Loans are available in Nevada.
Title and Title Equity Loans are available in Arizona.
We suggest that you consider the amount of your income and determine how much you can realistically pay back within your budget. We do allow you to renew your small loan, and if you do, please keep in mind that you should put some amount of money towards your balance every time. That little extra will lower your balance and interest you owe, which will decrease your payment. A continuous cycle of loan payments without paying your principal down will end up costing you much more in the long term.
CASH 1 follows lending Best Practices as published by the Community Financial Services Association (CFSA).

Christmas Mince Pies
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 20 mins
For years it was a family competition of sorts to see who would be the first to bring home Christmas mince pies to share. When my mom started making these, the store-bought ones suddenly became so mediocre that our annual bit of fun fell away because no-one would eat them anymore!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup melted butter
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
- 100 g raisins
- 50 g sultanas
- 50 g black currants
- 50 g candied peel
- 1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored and grated
- 1⁄3 cup chopped glace cherries
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon mixed spice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 25 -50 ml brandy
- 500 ml cake flour, loosely measured
- 50 ml cornflour
- 50 ml icing sugar
- 175 g butter
- 1 egg
- 2 ml vanilla extract
- Combine all ingredients and set aside for flavours to infuse.
- Sift flour, cornflour, and icing sugar.
- Rub in the butter.
- Beat egg and vanilla together then add, mixing well.
- Knead into a ball without overhandling the pastry.
- Roll out thinly on a floured board and cut into 3" rounds.
- Reroll offcuts until all the pastry is used.
- Place rounds in a patty pan, place a heaped teaspoon of filling in the middle of each pastry round and cover with second pastry round.
- Press edges together with the prongs of a fork and prick each top twice.
- Bake at 350F for 18-20 minutes or until pale gold.
- Leave to cool slightly before removing to cooking rack.
- Dust lightly with icing sugar.
- COOKS NOTE - If you don't have a patty pan, place the pies on a cookie sheet rather than in a muffin tray, which is too deep.

Exactly what I was looking for, with the huge bonus of actually getting a recipe to make *quick* fruit mincemeat myself - which is important in a country like Germany (they don't know what fruit mince is, so it's impossible to get hold of in supermarkets and so forth). So thanks! (-:=
This is a quick easy to make recipe. The pastry worked REALLY well for me. I have made it my sweet pastry base from now on. Don't make the pastry too thin, cause that's when I ran into trouble. Absolutely delicious. Added dried sugared ginger for a little extra zing. I made 3 batches in quick succession before we slowed down!! Made them in patty cake trays and just didn't push the base into the pan, but let it settle as it wanted to. Popped the lid on and forked around the edge to seal them. Worked a charm. For easier measuring 500ml cake flour = 2 cups or 250gms. 50ml cornflour = 1/4 cup or 30 gms, and 50ml icing sugar = 1/4 cup or 40gms. Thanks for posting.
Hi Ive never made pastry before and I found the pastry far too dry so I added an extra egg and then some water. In another batch that I made I just used two egg yolkes, 1 rinde of an Orange and about 3 table spoons of orange juice, put it in the fridge for 30 minutes. When I rolled out the pastry i had to put flour down but the mixture was georgous an so easy to work with. The mince pies turned out great!

No matter what, the Fiesta Bowl will be the Ohio State swan song for senior quarterback Todd Boeckman, and sources close to the program told The Dispatch that coach Jim Tressel might have a duet in mind for the former starter.
They said don't be surprised to see Boeckman and freshman starter Terrelle Pryor on the field at the same time for some plays when the Buckeyes take on the Texas Longhorns.
Tressel, who like the rest of the Buckeyes is on a short Christmas break, would not comment on the report. The team, which ended its Columbus preparations on Tuesday, will convene in Scottsdale, Ariz., late Sunday afternoon to begin final preparations for the Jan. 5 bowl.
Just what Tressel has in mind for Boeckman and Pryor in the bowl game or whether he just wants to give Texas something to think about isn't clear. But with the team playing without injured No. 1 tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells in the Sept. 13 game at USC, Tressel tried to cross up the Trojans by alternating Boeckman and Pryor play to play on several possessions. The first time it yielded a drive to OSU's only score, a field goal for a 3-0 lead.
Tressel might be borrowing something from Pryor's former high school coach Ray Reitz of Jeannette, Pa. In the Pennsylvania state championship game last year, on the first play the speedy Pryor lined up at wide receiver and running back Jordan Hall lined up at quarterback. Hall then sprinted 58 yards off tackle for the touchdown that started Jeannette's 49-21 win over Dunmore.

A train passes on tracks running parallel with the Tian Shan mountain range on the outskirts of Korla, an oil town south of Urumqi, capital of China's far west Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, on October 10, 2006.
ASTANA, Kazakhstan -- Kazakhstan has launched a new transit railway linking China to Europe, aiming to beat rival routes for journey time in the competition to handle a growing flow of goods along the ancient Silk Road trade route.
"Kazakhstan is a virtual bridge linking the East and the West," Yerkin Meirbekov, deputy railway department chief at Kazakhstan's Transport Ministry, said in an interview. "You can actually say this is the revival of the Silk Road."
Centuries ago, it would take months for caravans of camels and horses from China to reach Europe across the sun-scorched steppes and deserts of Central Asia to exchange silk for medicines, perfumes and precious stones.
Now it takes just 15 days for trains carrying containers with electronic goods, construction materials and other cargo to cover the 6,750 mile route from Chongqing in southwest China to Duisburg in Germany's industrial Ruhr region.
Late last year, Kazakhstan completed construction of a 183-mile stretch from Zhetygen to Korgas at the Chinese border, looping it in to the existing national railway network and opening the second China-Europe link across its territory.
Meirbekov said that the annual volume of freight turnover along the new route, guaranteed by China, was set to total 2 million metric tons this year and would rise eventually to 15 million metric tons.
Zhi Jun / ColorChinaPhoto via AP, file
A train carrying 45 tons of liquefied petroleum gas imported from Kazakhstan arrives at the Alashankou (Alataw Pass) Port in Bozhou in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on June 14, 2010.
"The Chinese side, as well as the Kazakh side and European partners -- everyone is ready (to handle these volumes) already tomorrow," Meirbekov said.
"All railways, as well as customs and border guards, are ready to assist fast passage of cargo across their territories."
Europe-bound trains from China cross from Kazakhstan into Russia. Then they go via Belarus and Poland before reaching Duisburg in Germany.
Transit routes are a major earner for the fast-growing economy of Kazakhstan -- the world's ninth-largest nation by area but with a population of only 17 million.

A Personal Message From Andy Fein:
Before launching Fein Violins in 1982, I worked and trained with some of the finest makers and restorers all over the world.I served my apprenticeship at the Chicago School of Violin Making, studied instrument and bow identification with Kenneth Warren, Sr., and completed a B.A.(Cum Laude) in Music from Wesleyan University in Connecticut. I continue to study instruments, particularly the instruments of Antonius Stradivarius and his predecessors, at the National Music Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Museum, the Ashmolean Museum, with master violin maker Amnon Weinstein in Tel Aviv, and with esteemed colleagues and conservators from around the world.
Despite all the activity on our website, we are still a small business with a personal approach to every instrument and every customer. Before an instrument is ready to leave our shop, it is set up and finished by me, played by one of the professional musicians on staff, and checked and adjusted for tone quality. Then we ship your instrument directly to you, set up and ready to play as soon as you open the case!
While we are dedicated to bringing you the best possible instrument to suit your needs, we are also dedicated to the environment. Our shop is powered by wind through Excel Energy's Windsource program. We also make a point to recycle, to use LED light bulbs, and to conserve energy and resources whenever possible.

Montgomery Hill bivocational pastor still going strong after 42 yearscomment (0)
March 14, 2002
By Dan Rutledge
Sherod Matheney makes his living in Saraland as an air-conditioning contractor, but his real life's work the past 42 years has been as lay minister and pastor of Montgomery Hill Baptist Church, Tensaw.
In 1959 when he first answered the call as minister to the rural church, the oldest church in Baldwin County, Matheney had to drive a round trip of almost 150 miles.
When Alabama Highway 225 between Spanish Fort and Stockton was opened, the trip was shortened by eight miles, and the completion of the I-65 bridges in the 1980s cut his every-Sunday trip in half.
Under Matheney's leadership the church has undergone several improvements. Its foundation has been replaced, new air conditioning has been installed and the sanctuary has been refurbished.
"All of that was accomplished without any bake sales, car washes or fund-raising events," Matheney said. "When I came here, I told them I wasn't called to beg or sell."
One particularly hot summer, Matheney himself donated an air-conditioning system to the church, hauled it to Tensaw and installed it with the help of church volunteers.
In 1975, the county building inspector condemned the church building after an exterminator discovered that the 104-year-old support beams had been rendered useless by termites.
The deacons decided to take out a loan to finance the repairs but hit a snag when they discovered two conflicting deeds for the church property. When the adjoining property owner, heard about the church's plight, he asked the deacons to order a survey to include all the property they had always believed belonged to Montgomery Hill Baptist. He then presented the church with the deed to the land. Now in possession of a valid deed to show prospective lending institutions, the church was able to borrow $800.
Their expenses, however, were unexpectedly cut when one church member spotted a pine tree on her property which was large enough and tall enough to be sawed into the needed beams. Then, Matheney said, a woman who had previously been a member 50 years sent $500.
In the long run, the foundation work was completed without ever using the borrowed $800, which was repaid to the bank.
"I've seen so many miracles associated with pastoring this church, and the way we got the church foundation repaired is one of them," the pastor said.
Matheney also proudly points out Montgomery Hill's truly 'open door' policy.
"The front door to the church is never locked — you can never tell when somebody needs to pray or talk to the Lord — and we've never had anything taken or disturbed," he said. "I remember a few years back when a church down the road, a church that does lock its doors, was broken into and burglarized."
Matheney has made the long trip from Saraland with amazing regularity over the years, only missing a few Sundays because of health problems. The few times he has missed, the pulpit was filled by seminary students through an arrangement with the local Baptist association.
Montgomery Hill Baptist, built in 1853, was the second church of record in Baldwin County. The first was Union Church Methodist on Holly Creek in Tensaw, but it is no longer active.
Montgomery Hill was built in Greek revival style. It has a single story with a balcony that was originally used as a slave gallery. The building was constructed with wooden pegs, although square nails were added later for strength and sturdiness.
Matheney has seen the church membership numbers change little during his 42 years. When he first came to Tensaw, the church had 30 members, while the current membership is 32.
Martin McGuire is the minister of music for the church and a deacon. His wife, Edith McGuire, has been the church organist for more than 50 years.

Delegates gather around a mound of dirt for a ceremonial ground breaking of Lakes Edge Condominiums -- a 24-unit building in the Lake Estates gated community in the city's west hill area. In the background, piles are seen being driven into the ground for its foundation.

A pile driver operates in the Lake Estates area on Tuesday, during which it helped prepare the foundation for Lakes Edge Condominiums -- a 24-unit building at 2800 Lakeview Drive.
Herald photo by Tyler Clarke
The ground broke on 24-unit Lakes Edge Condominiums in the Lake Esates gated community in Prince Albert on Tuesday.
While a pile driver drove poles deep into the ground to support a 24-unit condominium building's foundation, several groups of sweaty workers framed nearby houses and prepared yards for grass.
"What another great development for our city," Mayor Greg Dionne said, punctuated by the pile driver's loud thuds.
"What I like about it is that it's done by all these local developers who've come together to do this project, and it's just great."
Things are busy at Lake Estates.
Only a few years in and 24 villas (attached bungalow-style condominiums) have been constructed, of which about half face the city's first artificial lake.
About 65 per cent of the 1600 to 1300 square-foot units, advertised at $399,000 and $499,000 (plus GST), have sold thus far.
Tuesday's ground breaking ceremony marked the beginning of a year long construction project called Lakes Edge Condominiums.
The units are far from "just the basic," RE/MAX sales associate David Harradence clarified, noting that the building boasts a number of Prince Albert firsts.
In addition to is proximity to the city's first-ever artificial lakes, the building is the first condominium to have an acrylic stucco and stone exterior.
Its windows are triple-pane with argon gas and low-E film, which deflects ultraviolet rays.
Each unit has hardwood and ceramic tile floors, stainless steel appliances, nine-foot ceilings and their own forced air heating and central air conditioning units.
This level of finesse is a first, Harradence said, noting that the building's additional hotel room-style unit for guests is another Prince Albert first.
"If you have family to come and visit you, they can have supper with you and go back to their hotel room suite for the night where they can stay comfortable and not really live with you," Harradence explained.
The condominium has another Prince Albert first on its hands within the Lake Estates gated community it was constructed within.
"This is the first planned community," Harradence said. "Of course, the lake is a centerpiece, but the nice thing is that you have a consistency of price … You're not getting into a situation where you have condo units worth $300,000 and then you're surrounded by houses worth $250,000."
Of course, the lake is a centerpiece, but the nice thing is that you have a consistency of price … You're not getting into a situation where you have condo units worth $300,000 and then you're surrounded by houses worth $250,000. David Harradence
As of Tuesday, six of its 24 units have already sold, he said -- very unusual for Prince Albert.
"Typically, people have to see construction occurring before they believe that the project is actually going to go ahead," he said.
To its benefit is the fact that the project's group of four developers -- Curtis Lemieux, Glenn Wozniak, Scott Bridge and Chris Knutson -- are all local, which adds a level of trust, Dionne said.
Called a "10 to 15" year project last year, Wozniak's latest estimate for the Lake Estates development is "10 to 12."
This development presently includes the 24 villa-style bungalow homes (65 per cent sold), the 24-unit condominium (under construction, six sold) and 40 lots (five left to develop).
An additional 19 lots pend city council approval.
Sharing a laugh with developers at a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, Dionne said that he has no doubt city council will support the addition.
Beyond that, they expect to fit in another 90 lots within Lake Estates' 70 or so acres of land.
"We're trying to keep up with demand," he said, noting that demand has continued to boom -- even for the luxury-grade buildings and lots up for sale at Lake Estates.
Back in 2007, the average Prince Albert residential selling price was $93,000, Harradence said.
A couple years later it had risen to $180,000 and it has continued to bump up every year.
At his most recent count, the average house price in Prince Albert has jumped seven per cent since the beginning of 2014, bringing it to between $240,000 and $250,000.
Harradence said that he has no doubts regarding the success of Lakes Edge Condominiums, citing a persistent demand over the past couple decades for such units, and an increasing demand for higher-scale units such as the ones being offered.
"For the last 20 years what we've seen in Prince Albert is that … 24 units is about the standard for most developers, and we've probably had one built every four years since about 1994."

In that second panel, it appears that Knox is the kid way in the back doing the Mae West impression.
OK, so how long will it take for Knox to torpedo the lawsuit and get back in the good graces of the team?
Gil's comment in P1 not only induces EES but also WCD, Wobbly Chin Disorder.
Viva la Revolution!
Will someone "come up and see him sometime" as she used to say.
So Mr. Future Lawyer doesn't even understand the First Amendment?
With the leadership and wisdom of BB Stuff and Dinty Moore, I think this team has a deep playdown run in them. They are goofy enough to make it happen…After The Knox Blanket Party.
I'm starting to get a little worried here. Images of that bathroom scene in "Full Metal Jacket" keep coming to mind.
This guy Knox is dumber than a 1-L on ether, and his dad is an ethical time-bomb for letting his kid run around spouting off about client matters. Gil's threat of running is pretty sweet, but what Knox really needs is Coach Kaz with a timely "Ease up, Friend." And we all know what comes next.
@Have Mop Will Travel
Exactly, it's only a violation of the First Amendment if the government suppresses your speech. Knox is as dim as a box of rocks.
The courts have also had much to say on the rights of minors and students in public schools as opposed to adults.
Gil practicing his ventriloquist act in P1 – throwing his voice from the flower in the bush beyond the baseball diamond all the while showing off his pearly whites. Imnpressive stuff!
The baseball team has played what, 3 games? No mention of softball.
When do we get back to the golf course with Kemper, Torrey, the HRRRROOOOOOONNNNNNNKKKKK and most importantly, Mimi laying out at Chez Thorp in a skimpy bikini.
exactly, decten….back to Milford CC to see how one-armed Steve's game is progressing…to see if Kenny Lark's mother and Jon Jawor have hooked up…as Moon joined the club as a "social member"…need to know!
It won't be Darby.
I took the family to see the Grand Kenyan. It was very similar to our meeting with the High Llama in Shang-ri La, except the Kenyan had both of his legs and was running a 10K at world record pace.

Carnival Pride Cruise Review by crusinsusan: Goodbye Irene
Overall Member Rating
Goodbye Irene
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Baltimore
Our family group consisted of 6: 4 adults and 2 children, 6 and 10 yrs old. We had two oceanview cabins on the riviera deck. Quiet and mid ship.
Hurricane delayed our cruise by one day, but all made the best of it. Our itinerary changed, instead of HMC and GT and Freeport, we went to PC, Nassau and Freeport.
We enjoyed the shows, headliners and comedy. Went to piano bar for the first time since it is non smoking. Loved it.
Our cabin steward and dining room staff were excellent. All the crew seemed to be happy.
Loved the new menus. Lots of favorites and something new to try.
The kids loved the camp, especially the 10yr old. The 6yr old kept the slide busy.
At PC we took the tour to the Kennedy Space Center. Very interesting and we enjoyed it very much. In Nassau and Freeport, we shopped and then stayed around the pool. Less crowded on port days.
We all had a good time.
Debarkation was very easy, we were off ship by More 10:15am.
We'll have to book another cruise and get to HMC and GT. Less
