I've tried vitamin E oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, and I'm telling you nothing, I repeat nothing works like this for dry skin. My son has eczema and it helps heal his dry cracking hands so well, he can discontinue use of the steroid cream from the dermatologist. I'm using it lightly on my face, as well as everywhere else, and it soaks in quickly without any breakouts or irritation what-so-ever.

Paloma loves to eat. In that way, we are very fortunate. It's quite a rarity for her to turn down food, and she's always eager to try anything I put in front of her. I'll never forget an impossibly bitter dandelion smoothie that I made. No one could drink it, except for Paloma, who joyfully slurped down a whole glass. I dearly love to cook and feed people, especially family and friends, and her approval makes me one happy mama.
Our days usually start with me cooking breakfast and impatient Paloma sitting at the kitchen table, spoon in hand, narrating my preparations and hurrying me on. It's quite humorous. She is not the calmest of children (a little tornado to be exact) and becomes very excited when food is in sight.
This is where the idea for the edible puzzle stemmed from. I imagined a game that would occupy Paloma, and, since she puts everything in her mouth, be safe and tasty to eat. I thought about the obvious educational qualities of puzzles such as teaching about shape, colour, size, structure, and included two more – flavour and nutritional value.

TSA's Pistole: U.S. Is 'Gold Standard for Aviation Security'
CHARLOTTE ( TheStreet) -- The best indication that the Transportation Security Administration is doing its job well is that terrorists appear to have little interest in challenging it.
Since the agency was established following the Sept. 11,2001, terrorist attacks, every attempt to attack U.S. commercial aviation has been initiated at one of the 275 airports around the world with non-stop service to the U.S., said TSA Administrator John Pistole, who spoke with reporters in Charlotte on Friday.
"We know from intelligence that terrorists see the U.S. as the gold standard of aviation security, because of all the layers," Pistole said. As a result, every known attempt to infiltrate U.S. airspace has originated elsewhere.
The "shoe bomber" sought to blow up a Paris-Miami flight in 2002. The "underwear bomber" flew from Amsterdam to Detroit in 2009. Terrorists mailed bombs in toner cartridges on a cargo plane from Yemen in 2010, hoping the devices would be transferred to passenger flights to the U.S. Terrorists in Yemen turned over a bomb to a double agent they thought was a future suicide bomber in 2012. All four of these efforts failed.
Pistole said non-metallic bombs, which were used in each of the four cases, remain the biggest threat to aviation security. He said such bombs may be discerned by dogs sniffing for explosives, by the TSA's millimeter wave, whole-body scanners, by TSA employees or by some other detection method. "No one layer of security picks everything up," he said, noting that better technology is being developed.
Although it has been successful in deterring terrorists, the TSA also delays normal passengers, who constitute near all of the 650 million passengers the agency processes each year. In fact, Pistole's stint as administrator, which began in July 2010, is best known for the continuing introduction of procedures to enable quicker screening for select groups of passengers, including those under 12 or over 75, airline crews, active soldiers and travelers who join a Pre-Check program, which permanently entitle them to expedited screening once they clear a background check.
Expedited screening means passengers don't have to take off their belts, coats or shoes and don't have to remove computers and liquids from containers. Pre-Check is available to passengers who are invited by their airline or who sign up through the Customs and Border Protection Global Entry program, paying $100 for a five-year membership. So far Alaska Air (ALK) , American (AAMRQ.PK) , Delta (DAL) , United (UAL) and US Airways (LCC) have signed up passengers.
Additionally, the new "Managed Inclusion" program being tested in Indianapolis and Tampa entitles passengers to expedited screening if they pass inspection by both a dog and a TSA officer who asks questions.
Pre-Check is available at 35 major airports including Charlotte Douglas and is being extended to more airports this year. Pistole said that about 5.5 million passengers have gone through Pre-Check screening.

Skip to comments.NOT AGAIN, RUDY (serial ditherer doesn't want to be a 3-time loser?)
Posted on 08/01/2009 10:05:40 AM PDT by Liz
Rudy continues to play coy about challenging Gov. Paterson. So what's keeping him from making up his mind? "NY is in pretty bad shape. If I thought I could make a real difference," he told a Crain's NY breakfast, "I would do it." Two terms as mayor and more than three decades in the public eye, and he still doesn't know whether he can make a difference? The election is 15 months away. But Giuliani other candidates biding their time waiting for Rudy to make up his mind would need every bit of that time to run an effective race..... Sort of like 2000, when Rudy's dithering left Rick Lazio pulverized by Hillary. Giuliani forgets the lesson of his ill-fated 2008 presidential run (longshot though it was).........he owes it to the voters, not to mention his party, to make a decision now: Either take the plunge -- or take a pass...............
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
OMG - it's only politics. when I read the headline, I thought he was getting divorced again.
The notion that there is a difference between a liberal Democrat and a liberal Republican, is a fallacy.
Just what we need - another Republican who can't keep his pants zipped...
Rooty's got the resilience of Count Dracula and the resume of a calculating conman. He porked his mistress on the taxpayers' dime then hid the theft in obscure city agencies.
His secrecy about his multiple global businesses also served to sink his candidacy.
Even more alarming, Giuliani is the lapdog of the Endless War Hopefuls---those evil pukeneos------ w/ multiple trillion-dollar US war budgets dancing in their fool heads. The Kristol/Podhoretz Crime Family should be deported NOW. They are sucking up to Obama as we type----since the Jan 2008 power shift.
The neotermites scatter to wherever the Beltway winds are blowing. The neocon traffic under Obama's desk is getting fierce---OTOH, Obama's sex life is improving (/snic).
Keep in mind----Obama's closest advisors-----COS Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Dennis Ross, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton----reflect an ironclad, single issue neocon orientation (even though none of these individuals are actually card-carrying neocons).
Rudy's only hope.
" P-l-e-a-s-e make me sound conservative."
"My stupid 2008 advisors told me I didn't need those redneck gun nuts and
those dumb pro-life Christian conservatives to make a primary showing."
" They're killing me on FR just b/c I dumped my wife for my mistress, don't talk
to my kids, was honored by NARAL, donated to Planned Parenthood, marched
for gay rights under the NAMBLA banner, appointed gays and pedophiles
to top city jobs, and provided a sanctuary city for illegals."
I will take Rudy over any Dem anytime. The state is going down the toliet. Rudy can make a difference. I say that as someone who grew up in NY.
Just sayin'.
Rudy should take one of the NY Senate seats. It would be nice if he would take out Schumer. Sure Rudy would be another RINO type in the Senate, but he would be 1,000x better than Chuck-U.
ROTFL---good one.
Course, once Rudy FINALLY figures out his current wife greatly ditched his presidential chances....divorce is a distinct possibility.
but if you want someone who is tough on crime and security from terrorism, you really cant beat Rudy and he is about as conservative as you can get for Governor of NY. he is also pretty much of a fiscal conservative.
you wont get those from Patterson.
"" They're killing me on FR just b/c I dumped my wife for my mistress, don't talk
to my kids, was honored by NARAL, donated to Planned Parenthood, marched
for gay rights under the NAMBLA banner, appointed gays and pedophiles
to top city jobs, and provided a sanctuary city for illegals." "
Sounds more like Obama ;-)
Whenever I look at Giuliani, I always think of what Lincoln said about Grant: we can't spare this man - he fights.
Is that what "dithering" means? I didn't know that.
The caption under a full page add in Life magazine about 40 years ago read:
When you're driving something that takes 27 miles to turn around and 7 miles to stop...you'd better know where you're going...
Well Rudi is the second Republican I've heard say something to the effect that you'd have to be crazy to want to take the reins during the mess that will exist in '10 and '12.
Well, flustered excitement is one of the definitions...
No thanks! No more Rudy McRombee's
Rudy Giuliani's term as mayor was one of the best things that ever happened to NYC. He'd be a godsend over Patterson.
By liberal NYCity standards, maybe. Nothing more.
His time has passed now, he's in his mid-60s and he just has too much baggage. There's even rumors that he's going to run again for President in 2012. Ugh.
I never wanted him as prez, but we never win anything in NY. Dunno what kind of kool-aid pours out of the faucets up there.
You can be governor and be in your mid-60s. Too much baggage? Not for the NY voters.
In a pig's eye. The press and the Dems would have hung Bernie Kerik and Rudy's abouse of city funds around his neck.
With Rudy, NYC is quite livable. Without Rudy NCY is a cesspool. Simple. He may not be your cup of moral tea but he sure can run a business/city properly.
We've heard about the popular Obama's "Cash for Clunkers."
I hear Rudy's running on a platform of "Funds for F*****s"......the federal govt will subsidize high-tech penile implants.
The federally subsidized "Penis-a-Go-Go" has microscopic cameras and remote video relays to wide screens in Planned Parenthood offices....
.......to make sure Americans are using sanitary sexual organs.....will save healthcare funds spent on STD's.
I love it! "Sanitary Sexual Organs For All" - sounds like a new Czar position...no pun intended
Nope. Rudy made McCain look like Palin by comparison in his ability to excite the base.
So better a 100% pure FR-certified conservative who doesn't have a snowball's chance of hell being elected in a relatively liberal state like NY - or an ideologically divided country, for that matter, rather than a relatively right-leaning candidate who actually does have a chance to be elected in the real world with the real electorate as it is, not as it exists in some FR fantasy?
You'd actually prefer that the Pattersons & Obamas continue to win elections without putting up even an electable right-leaning candidate who can at least offer the hope of advancing some opposition to the Alinsky/Soros Party, just because he isn't as rigidly conservative as you are, even in a liberal state?
And that's really the grand strategy here? You'd just concede the NY contest entirely if you can't win everything you want when you want it?
Gee, I hope all the unborn generations of bankrupted New Yorkers standing on government queues for the honor of selecting their choice between either food or euthanasia in the future will be sure to remember to thank you posthumously for the advice that NY conservatives should valiantly stand their ground against 'RudyMcRombees'. [/sarc]
I gather you'd also be willing to condemn your own children not to mention the future progeny of all other conservative Americans to a hellhole of a banana republic ruled with an iron fist by anti-american leftists just so that you can continue to stroke your pristine political vanity, strut your rigid sense of rectitude and die with your strict 'principals' intact, huh?
Holy Cow! Obama's not the only ideological narcissist around, it would seem. Some people's 'conservatism' is really 'all about me' as well, isn't it?
Which is what I fail to understand about the man ... the Governorship was his for the taking in 2006, why did he instead attempt to run for POTUS? Likewise challenging Hillary for Senate that same year, or Schmuckie in 2004?
He might not have won those elections, but he surely would have made them into more of contest than they turned out to be.
Running for POTUS instead? That was a dead duck from the very start.
"(Sob) I love *hope and change.* "
"Under Obamacare I get a free high-tech penile implant. "
"With my sanitary Penis-a-Go-Go, I never, ever have to use a rolled-up sock again."
"No more Rudy McRombees".....................mmmmmm, love it.
Great bumper sticker and tee short slogan.
I don't think he wants to challenge Hillry.
I think she will drop Sec State and quit being NObama's mouthpiece and go for Governorship. Keeps her closer home for keeping an eye on Bill, also.
Rudy is not an ideal choice to be President, because he is a liberal on the most important social issues. We're all aware of what they are, no need to get into it. But on crime and quality of life, there is no better politician in America. The reason I assume that you are not a NYer, is because you would already know all of this, had you been living here in 1994. Almost over night, NYC returned from unlivable to the greatest city in the world. Graffiti vanished from buildings and subway cars, the crime rate went down. The murder rate went down. Porn shops, massage shops, hookers drug dealers and squeegee guys disappeared. Trash got picked up. Women could go jogging in Central Park at sunset without getting gang raped. Rudy did all this. If he held national office, I have no doubt he'd clean up the world a lot too. I don't want him there, but who wouldn't prefer him to Obama, the same way they'd prefer Zell Miller, or a social liberal like Joe Lieberman.
The point is this: It's nice to be principled, and say "we only accept Conservatives who call themselves Republicans," but that kind of thinking will lose you every election in NY. There are no conservatives who run for office in NY. It's a wast of time and money, because they can't possibly win. Rudy Giuliani would be infinitely better than Dave Patterson as Governor, the same way he was infinitely better than Dave Dinkins as Mayor. You're rooting for NY to fail if you're rooting against him.
Obviously, you've been living in a cave for the 15 years.
The GOP won control of Congress in 1994 by pushing a conservative agenda based on Reaganism. We then elected someone who was considered a right leaning politico from Texas to complete the deal. The GOP now held all the cards.
How'd that work out?
Not satisfied with massive spending for prescription drugs, education, farm subsidies, energy and transportation. President Bush, along with GOP presidential candidate, John McCain, supported a $700-billion bailout aimed directly at WallSt robber barons, while giving cover to their Democrat cohorts in the Congress.
Sorry. Conservatives helping to elect moderates and liberal Republicans to public office has gotten us in the mess we have today. Bush, McCain and other wishy-washy centrist types are directly responsible for America having a Black Marxist in the White House today. Sadly, the rightwing almost pulled out a victory after Sarah Palin was added to the ticket, but we fell short.
Now you want conservatives to continue joining you moderates in supporting Constitution trampling liberals like Giuliani and Romney for public office. Not gonna happen. The days of voting for the lesser of two evils is fading fast. It serves no good purpose and solves nothing. Except to give liberal Democrats more election victories.
If Bush had used the Bully Pulpit to promote conservatism, it would have made a huge difference and had a profound impact gaining more converts to the GOP longterm. If the President and the GOP majority in Congress had stood up for what was right and not abandoned the conservative agenda in favor of more liberal domestic policy, the Dems wouldn't have won Congress in 2006 and the Presidency in 2008. Instead the GOP Congress followed Bush right off the cliff, straight into oblivion.
Don't think Free Republic is the right place to campaign for liberals and moderates and expect a free pass from conservative FReepers. Ain't gonna happen.
he is so far above the NY Dhimmicrats in so many ways as to make it imperative to vote for him for either Senator or Governor.
I would never, ever vote for him in a presidential primary...ever....
......HOWEVER....if he ever won the Republican presidential primaries, and he was running against the current POSOTUS??? I would have no choice but to vote for him....
Well said ... Thank You
New York State needs fresh leadership and new blood. Rudy is not the man anymore.
Why don't you get over the notion that only moderate Republicans can win in liberal areas when they've been losing seats in droves. Schundler was a solid conservative in New Jersey who won his primary for Governor until the state RINOs threw him under the bus. Also keep in mind that the Libertarian candidate for Senate in 2000 got more votes than the RINO against Kennedy. Conservatives can win in liberal areas, the GOP is too scared to run them.
Rudy wants to be an executive, not a legislator. However, there is a movement to get ex-Governor George Pataki to run for the Senate next year.
And who is? Rudy still has the drive and energy to reverse what has happened to the Empire State. He is the right man at the right time for the job. Let's hope he decides to take on the challenge.
Hardly. Rudy was raised a "NY Dhimmicrat". He supported RFK and McGovern, and admired Rockefeller Republicans like Jacob Javits and John Lindsey. Rudy changed parties, not his politics. Having grown up on the streets of Brooklyn, I knew many "Rudy Giuliani's", liberal NewYorkers to their core.
On many major issues, Rooty's position is no different than Obama's --- Roe v Wade, abortion on demand, gun control, special rights for homo's, amnesty, big government.
I'm sure there's someone in the legislature or a rich conservative businessman who can revive NY. Roger Ailes? He ran Rudy's Mayoral campaign in 1989.
Rudy still has the drive and energy to reverse what has happened to the Empire State.
Axelrod's goons will destroy Rudy.
He is the right man at the right time for the job. Lets hope he decides to take on the challenge.
He was the right man at 2002 when he was still basking in the aftermath of 9/11. Plus he has health concerns. Sorry I disagree but of course concedes he'd be a huge improvement over Paterson.
most of what you say is true and he is still the best you can do in NY....and he is still head and shoulders ahead of Paterson...or 'putzhead' Schumer or Guillebrand...
Liberal Dem vs liberal Pub. The "best"?
A zebra can't change its stripes.
A conservative should never vote for a liberal.
"I will take Rudy over any Dem anytime."
That's like saying you would take plague over cholera. Dead is dead.
If you can't trust a man in the bedroom, you can't trust him anywhere.
Have you ever lived in NY? Rudy is the man. He would be the strongest GOP candidate by far. Why don't you straighten things out in WI with its two liberal senators and Dem governor?
Axelrod's goons will destroy Rudy.
You don't have clue.
He was the right man at 2002 when he was still basking in the aftermath of 9/11. Plus he has health concerns. Sorry I disagree but of course concedes he'd be a huge improvement over Paterson.
Yeah, health concerns like Kerry and Dodd. Rudy is still very popular in NY. And becoming more so with the likes of Patterson and Bloomberg running things.
The cheese head and the potato head commenting on Rudy's fitiness for office. Neither one of you has a clue. Get a life.
"We are talking about running for Governor not gaining access to a monastery."
Doesn't matter. If a man is a dirty, rotten scoundrel in the bedroom, he's a dirty, rotten scoundrel everywhere.
As for the fantastic job he did, just about anybody who posts on FR could have done much, much better — and would have.
But then, as Napoleon noted, ability counts for but little without opportunity. Sadly, in America today, the scumbag king-makers — from both the Stupid Party and the Evil Party — do their best to prevent anyone except fellow scumbags from gaining high office.
Discussion over. You are a lunatic.
A zebra cant change its stripes.
A conservative should never vote for a liberal.
so it was YOU who didn't vote for McCain and caused the worst president in the history of the republic to be elected....OK...just needed to know who to blame....
No, thank God.
Rudy is the man.
Don't you mean woman? ROFL
He would be the strongest GOP candidate by far.
Only if he survives the liberal media bringing up his corruption ties and infidelity.
Why don't you straighten things out in WI with its two liberal senators and Dem governor?
We are. Kohl may step down in 2012 and Feingold is in trouble next year. We have a fine Congressman in Ryan, and Governor Doyle is very unpopular here, facing a challenge against a conservative who is Milwaukee's County Executive.
You don't have clue.
No, you don't. Obama's media will destroy Rudy and conservatives aren't going to play the lesser of two evils anymore which will result in a Rudy loss even if he miraculously wins the primaries.
Yeah, health concerns like Kerry and Dodd.
Kerry and Dodd are Democrats which means they get a pass. Liberals will make Rudy's bout with cancer an issue.
Rudy is still very popular in NY.
Maybe among the cocktail circuit that frequent Gracie's Mansion parties, but what about the people?
And becoming more so with the likes of Patterson and Bloomberg running things.
He is not a fiscal conservative in terms of addressing the structural and underlying problems NY state has. All he's going to do is slow the pace of socialism down some like RINOLD did in California and inevitably get blamed for future problems.

Activities Overview
Week of the Young Child
The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The purpose of the Week of the Young Child is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. The Week of the Young Child is a time to recognize that children's opportunities are our responsibilities, and to recommit ourselves to ensuring that each and every child experiences the type of early environment—at home, at child care, at school, and in the community—that will promote their early learning.

CES 2012: Aha!
When we first alerted readers to Harman's Aha, we expected to hear a lot more about this streaming platform. As expected, Aha added fuel to its fires at CES.
Aha announced that it has added Honda and Subaru, as well as Kenwood, CBS Radio, Rhapsody, and NPR to its list of partners. Aha is a cloud-based infotainment platform that streams tens of thousands of web stations to listeners. Previously available on some Pioneer head units, and with Slacker as a major music content provider, Aha interactively plays audio through the car's head unit and sound system, via the driver's mobile device. Honda and Subaru will be the first OEMs to offer Aha on some MY2013 models; according to Aha, other carmakers will be coming onboard soon. Kenwood will start shipping Aha head units this spring, and Pioneer will expand its head unit offerings. CBS Radio, Rhapsody, and NPR join Slacker, Facebook, Twitter, MOG, and AOL SHOUTcast Radio. Also, new Android and updated iPhone apps will be released. Best of all, once you're hooked up with Aha-compatible hardware, Aha is free to listeners.

Those pies look fantastic - does anyone else see the resemblence of these Neopolitan pies tothe Indian bread "Naan"?
I have used both a manual (crank) sifter and a regular bowl-shape sieve, with my preference to date being the bowl-shape sieve because, in my case, it sifts the flour a bit more finely than my manual (crank) sifter.
Keep in mind you're only trying to force the flour particles to separate, not sift out the large ones, because that would be wasteful. A standard kitchen sieve should be just fine.
Do you have a picure of the bottom or side view?
Still much more testing to do (for the rest of my life!), but the direction is clear to increase hydration and temperature and see what happens.
EDIT: Actually, there's a fun project for the technically adept person just waiting to surface here. If I were to build my own flour sifter, sparing no convenience or wattage, I would build one to fit my (your) mixer and bowl so that the flour can be sifted in without getting in the way of the planetary arm (assuming Kitchen Aid). I would also make it electric by mounting a small, cheap motor from the local Radio Shack, with an unbalanced weight attached to the motor shaft for creating vigorous vibration. The frame would be constructed as a stand that allows the sieve collar to hover above the bowl, being reenforced and weighted near the base for stability. Power it with batteries or an AC adapter, and you'll be sitting squarely in the lap of hands-free grain sifting luxury.
Looks like your oven may have been hotter than the pie you photographed in the previous batch Bill?The charring/spots/coloration of the first pic is just what i'm looking to consistently produce.I think that gives the perfect balance to the flavor IMO.Nice. David
Now THAT is one happy oven! Nice pictures, Bill. I'm gonna try using much more wood next time and spread it out more. So far, I'm using only about two feet. Those blister freckles are what I'm looking for and it's apparent that only intense heat can cause them. Thanks.
The advantage of taking good notes (especially if you're getting old!) is that it is easy to backtrack after disappointing results. Today I backed down the hydration and eliminated the sifting and was able to reproduce previous results that I enjoyed greatly.
I think I see your problem. The currency goes into the dough after the flour.

A skunk attack can be a pain in the neck for pet owners and their pooches. These critters tend to lurk around in the dark and when it's least expected, they'll spray to ward off predators. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, skunks spray when they are alarmed and as dogs tend to be curious creatures, they are commonly sprayed with the pungent bodily chemical.
Although skunks tend to come out more often during the warmer months, a pet is never safe from an attack as they are active throughout the year. Owners can limit their dog's chances of meeting a skunk by letting it out or walking it before it gets dark and making sure to keep it on-leash when walking in the woods or isolated areas.
If a pet is sprayed by a skunk, owners will need to use products that will break down the oils in the spray of the skunk. VCA suggests washing the dog with a combination of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and liquid dish soap, typically in a ratio of three to four parts hydrogen peroxide to one part baking soda and about a teaspoon of liquid dish soap. The solution should be mixed together in a plastic bucket and then applied to the entire coat and worked deeply into the fur. An owner should leave the solution on for at least 5 minutes or until the odor is gone. When bathing the dog in this solution, owners need to remember to keep the suds away from its eyes, ears and nose - a toothbrush soaked in the solution can be used to clean the hair around the eyes if your dog was sprayed in the face. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed. Any extra solution should be discarded. This solution should never be stored as the ingredients can build up pressure in a closed container and

people in film Kim Wayans
Known as a funny woman from a very funny family, Kim Wayans also knows when to get serious.
Inside Our Movies The Power of PARIAH
Dee Rees' powerful tale of coming-of-age captures the poignant sense of feeling like a PARIAH. We look at the fine artistic tradition of turning being an outsider into a position of power.
Inside Our Movies Well Versed
The poems of the young Alike (Adepero Oduye) in PARIAH are both essential to the film and for the character to survive. Others filmmakers have also woven poetry into their movies to create lyrical and lush cinematic experiences.
Inside Our Movies Many Voices, One Score
In picking musicians for PARIAH, director Dee Rees wanted both to capture the diverse emotional lives of her characters and to let the viewer sample some ear-opening local musical talents.
Inside Our Movies PARIAH Red Carpet Premiere
Inside Our Movies Poetry in Motion
When actress Adepero Oduye was cast in Dee Rees short film, she had no idea of the powerful journey she was about to embark on to the Sundance Film Festival, the Sundance labs and finally to starring in an award-winning feature film. Nor did she realize how much her character, Alike, would develop over that time.

I spent the weekend trying to get Asadero, with non of the local hispanic and whole paycheck markets carrying it. I tried to buy Cacique, (whose plant is 12.4 road miles from Shakey's corporate headquarters) but found all the local markets stopped carrying Cacique products. They previously carried the Cacique mozzarella profiled here in another thread as well. I once tried Cacique mozzarella, but that is not it either. Will have to find one of those humongous cheese shops.I have no experience with sausage cheese. A quick google search has people talking about HIGH temperature melt cheese for sausage.Shakey's box says they use 100% whole milk mozzarella, but not what other cheeses are in the blend. It is definitely a blend. We've spent 18 months trying all the retail and many foodservice processed mozzarella cheeses sold around here. None came close. Fresh mozzarella cheeses were also not it. Then, mozzarellas like Cacique have different characteristics from "Italian" mozzarellas. The thought has crossed my mind that one of those small Southern California cheese manufacturers is making a mozzarella that stays soft on a buffet table.

Just in case you thought this blog was completed deceased I thought I'd better add a post, just to say I am yet again distracted, first by updgrading the website, then by upcoming presentations , to the International Bagpipe Conference on March 9th and then a workshop at the Bagpipe Society Blowout at the end of May, not to metnion the LBPS competitin. However, I have been listening again to some recordings I made a while back of tunes from Henry Atkinson's fiddle manuscript and from William Dixon's book. Hopefully I will get a moment to post about these soon...

Statement Bangs: To Fringe? Or Not to Fringe?
What do the August, September and December 2012 issues of Elle Magazine have in common? Big. Bold. Statement Bangs. I've been obsessing over this trend for far too long not to blog about it already, so here we go.
GO FOR IT …if:
- You're itching for a change but you're not ready to lose any precious length off of your strands.
- You have the bone structure to rock it. Not sure? Do you think your face looks better when your hair is down or in a ponytail? Tucked behind your ears? Or untucked? If you said ponytail or tucked, go for it. Ponytails and tucked hairstyles expose the corners of your face (cheekbones and corners of your jaw), as do broad, brow-length statement bangs.
- You're a ponytail girl anyway. Are you athletic? Work in the food-service industry? Busy mom? Nothing turns a "blah" ponytail into a chic fashion statement like a heavy fringe.
- You have fine/thinning hair or deep recession points in your hairline. Two words: Instant volume.
Not So Fast …if:
- You're a curly girl. You may find yourself fighting with your fringe on a daily basis. Want them anyway? O.K. fine. Just be prepared to arm yourself with an arsenal of smoothing products. I like F450° One Pass – a hot iron activated smoothing crème that withstands humidity and keeps unruly hair smooth from shampoo to shampoo.
- You have finicky hairline. Those with prominent hairline cowlicks be warned. Avoid bangs with a blunt edge. Instead, opt for more of a "shattered" edge to camouflage any hairline discrepancies. Also, the heavier, the better. Some cowlicks just need a little added weight to stay down.
- You're not into maintenance. Expect to go for regular bang trims every 2-4 weeks.
- You have a low hairline. A heavy fringe on a low hairline may lead to more styling difficulties than it's worth. Instead, try longer, side-swept bangs or a high face frame that can easily be pulled back if needed.
- You're going to take "baby steps". No. Just no. The Statement Bang is an all or nothing kind of deal. Attempting "something in-between" or the "let's just start with a thin little layer of bangs" may result in something more matronly than chic.
Remember: When in doubt, consult with a salon professional to help you determine what your best options are, what to expect, and how to achieve your desired results safely and effectively.
Wishing you all a very happy holiday season full of great people, delectable goodies, and of course – fabulous hair,
Emily Chen

As the May 8 scheduled execution of a Nebraska inmate drew near (the state Supreme Court ended up delaying the execution before it took place), The Catholic Voice in Omaha published a feature on a Creighton University theology professor who has been urging an end to the death penalty for more than a decade. A sidebar story in the same edition explains church teaching on capital punishment but points out the difference between the death penalty and other life issues, such as abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide.

This amount has been raised through different initiatives announced by the airline last month during the Kenyans for Kenya Corporate Launch, where the airline made a Kshs 10M corporate donation towards famine hit areas of Turkana. Speaking when handing over the cheque on behalf of Kenya Airways staff and customers, Kenya Airways CEO Dr. Titus Naikuni was pleased that Kenya Airways staff and customers had been actively involved in raising funds towards alleviating Famine in Northern Kenya. "Our customers and staff have been committed in raising these funds through, loose change collection onboard, leave encashment, salary deductions, I am grateful to the customers and staff who have contributed towards this worthy cause," said Dr. Naikuni. The cash donation that is part of the Kenya Airways overall contribution towards the Famine relief operations has seen staff contribute Kshs 4.49M in Salary deductions, leave encashment and cash donations while the company donated Kshs 8.98M as per the Kshs 2/- for every KSh1/- donated by staff. Kenya Airways customers also donated loose change totaling to Kshs 268,276 through the 'Change makes Change Campaign,' while the Flying Blue passengers donated miles worth Kshs 67,500. Other non monetary initiative includes the donation of Cargo space to Kenya Red Cross to transport donations from destinations that the airline flies to in Europe and Africa. So far Kenya Airways has used cargo space worth Kshs 9M in this initiative. In addition to the Corporate donation of Kshs 10M, Kenya Airways initiatives have so far raised well over Kshs 32,488,930 towards the Kenyans for Kenya initiative. Kenya Red Cross Secretary General Mr. Abbas Gullet who collected the cheque on behalf of his organization was grateful to Kenya Airways for the donation and for the interest the organization has expressed in laying out mid to long term goals for the Turkana region to alleviate the perennial famine in that region. Kenya Airways has pledged in the next two financial years to contribute 60% of its CSR budget to putting in place sustainable measures that will ensure access to safe water for residents of drought stricken areas specifically in Turkana County. The Kenyans for Kenya initiative has raised close to Kshs 700,000,000 from across the board, with the aim of helping meet the immediate needs of those affected.

Avon, Mary Kay, Estée Lauder Resume Animal Tests
After two decades of touting their "no animal testing" policies, Avon, Estée Lauder, and Mary Kay have quietly resumed paying for cruel tests on animals—without letting consumers know about this stunning about-face. After confirming with each company that chemicals are being dripped into rabbits' eyes and that substances are being rubbed onto animals' skin because of requirements of the Chinese government in order to market products in that country, PETA has downgraded the companies to our "do test" list.
All three companies were among the first large international cosmetics manufacturers to ban all tests on animals after being targeted by PETA. Avon was the first in 1989, following PETA's "Avon Killing" campaign, a play on the company's then-slogan "Avon Calling." Mary Kay came next, after being publicly lampooned by cartoonist Berkeley Breathed in a series called The Night of the Mary Kay Commandos in his hilarious Bloom County comic strip. Estée Lauder soon followed suit.
For each test required by the Chinese government, superior non-animal methods are available. Mary Kay had taken steps to work with Chinese officials on the acceptance of these tests, but Avon and Estée Lauder seem to have agreed to the tests without objection. PETA has jump-started the effort for non-animal test validation by awarding a grant to the Institute for In Vitro Sciences, which is working with scientists and regulatory bodies to replace animal tests in China.
Please let Avon, Estée Lauder, and Mary Kay know that you won't buy their products until they are 100 percent cruelty-free once again. Fortunately for animals, you can still choose from more than 1,000 companies in PETA's online searchable database of cosmetics and personal-care companies that don't harm animals at home or abroad.
Commenting is closed.
I have bought Estee Lauder for years. Now that I know they test on Animals ,I will never buy Estee Lauder again. How can causing pain and suffering on innocent defenseless creatures be beautiful?
Will not buy from these companys
I just started myself and my mother on a full skin care routine based upon Estee Lauder's products. Until I learn that E.L. guarantees no more use of testing on any animals, I will switch my products and encourage others to do the same.
will not buy from these companys an will tell my friends
I never would've guessed that Avon tested on animals. I'm disgusted! Never will buy an Avon product until they stop this.
I used to buy from Avon, but knowing that they are using animal testing they and the others are off the list, I heard that Garnier and Nivea are also using animal testing, I used to buy their products but now, they will be no longer on my shopping list. Shame on all the big bosses, do you show your kids and grand-children pictures of these animals who have to suffer for you because you want to make a lot of money, would like to see the childrens reaction.
Money talks and the only way to get the attention of these corporations is to STOP buying their products. It's not like we don't have other options. They will discontinue the testing on helpless animals when they see that it hurts their bottom line. You can be certain that they are greed driven.
I am personally horrified by the video I just saw, bringing me to tears! I am a new consultant for Lemongrass Spa products made right here in the USA, natural skin care and beauty products that ARE NOT and never have been tested on animals! I will be throwing away what is left of my Avon and Mary Kay makeup today and begin my animal free testing journey with my company and moving forth with other areas in my life. Thank you PETA!
Ana, I was interested in becoming a Mary Kay consultant, but came to PETA to check on their animal testing standards. Very disappointing to see this. Thank you for mentioning Lemongrass Spa–I will be looking into consulting opportunities with this company now!
Margaret…Aveda supplies to China so they are also paying for animal testing. Before Estee Lauder took over Aveda they used to be completely cruelty free. 🙂
I never knew that all these companies tested on animals especially Estee Lauder. Shame on you all. You'll never see another penny from me.
Estee Lauder owns Aveda. I wonder how this affects that product line? Disappointing, to say the least.
I'm sorry Dear Estee Lauder, but all your products are just a rubbish, from now until the moment when you stand out what is good, until the moment when customers who choose a cruelty free products, begin more important than the money from Chinese market!
I never realised Avon did that!!! disgusted… i am seeking alternative companies….Avon and Estée Lauder… you are not worth it…get with the times please!!!
I wish everyone can know about this! These cruel people!
I had filled out my AVON order form and checked to see if testing was going on… Thank you and I Will NOT be ordering…
SICK. I will be staying with beauty without cruelty.
I will never buy from any company that tests on animals, it is despicable and totally unnecesary !!!!!
This is horrible. Charity is a direct to consumer cosmetics and skin care company similiar to avon and mary kay yet you will never hear that our products are being tested on animals. Our wear your heart campaign this month provides contributions to assist families with veterinary costs. You can learn more about our mission at charitymakeup.com and charitybydawnlilly.com. The animal friendly makeup solution 🙂
Yes, the answer is to stop wearing make up. We don't need any of it. Save our money and use it for better things like protecting the animals around us. Come on women – grow up and ditch the make up. Free yourself from the insanity.
I have told all my friends that avon is getting their products tested on animals, because they want to get into the Chinese market. They were all appalled when I sent them an email, giving this link. Like me they will never use another product sold by avon We all used to spend a great deal on avons products, BUT NO MORE!!
To have animals cruelly tortured for cosmetics for sale in china that they themselves KILL FOR FUR EVERY SECOND FOR USA AND EUROPOEAN DEMAND is ABSURD. THEY should BE THE LAST COUNTRY ON EARTH TO DEMAND ANY USE OF ANIMAL TESTING FOR ANY PRODUCT THEY SELL TO THEIR "CITIZENS" HOW HYPOCRITICAL CAN ONE COUNTRY GET,,,
Rachel B! I'm an ARBONNE independent consultant too! Proves that animal testing isn't necessary, creating gorgeous products that are cruelty free is possible!
I am a consultant with Mary Kay. I hate that animal testing exists ANYWHERE for ANYTHING! Mary Kay is working with the Chinese government to show how safe the alternatives are, to get laws changed. How many of the people who are so disgusted with these companies have taken panadol, antibiotics or any other form of medication? How do you think we got any of these things – they start with animal testing! We are all responsible. I look forward to the day animal testing is completely done away with!
I think its all rubbish IT NEVER HAPPEN
I am so glad to be part of a company that makes FANTASTIC products that DO not and NEVER have tested on these sweet creatures. You dont have to give up having great skin care products or cosmetics. Arbonne offers over 400 prodcuts that are VEGAN and completely cruelty free!!
AGREED ! I was selling both Avon and Arbonne and I didn't want to believe this because my Avon business was doing better then Arbonne, but after reading this I just can't do it, I need to be for the animals, I love them too much to support hurting them, and Arbonne's products are excellent and it feels good to know they never ever hurt an animal!
Noah that's not the point. The point is they would rather give into such a barbaric requirement instead of of just not selling in China. Other companies have not given in so they don't sell there. These three could do the same, and maybe if they did China would consider changing its stance. To support any cosmetic animal testing in 2012 is just wrong.
Better still, ladies – stop wearing make-up!! You are beautiful without it, so stop kowtowing to crappy companies with crappy products and excellent marketing ploys.
Barbaric to think that in this day and age cosmetics are still tested on innocent animals. Why not introduce this to humans who would gladly undertake experiments for the payment. I will NEVER buy these products ever again until you cease this evil practice on the animals..better to be plain jane than a glamourous woman with your rubbish applied to my face.
Shame on you! I´m sure a lot of constumers will stop buying your products… My mom loves Estée Lauder but won´t definitely be buying it. This is so disappointing!
The truth is that Avon does not and has not tested on animals since 1989. China mandates that all products undergo additional testing according to their laws. Avon only complies with China so as not to break that country's laws. So if you are selling or using Avon products here in the United States or any other country but China, the products are not tested on animals. All USA made and sold products are not tested on animals. Hope this clarifies the situation for you
Where did PETA obtain the video of testing on animals that was presented as actual testing done by Estée Lauder, Avon and Mary Kay and how old are the clips? Can PETA prove that these clips are from laboratories any of these companies use?
Kathy Benitez must believe everything she reads. I called Mary Kay HQ and they informed me that they DO animal testing just like all the other beauty companies.
What a shame estee lauder has bought out ojon and b&b hair care i won't be buying them in future.
Dear Estee Lauder, I found your serums to be superior to any others in the market, but my good skin is not worth the animal cruelty, I am sure I can replace you with other companies that take no part on Animal Cruelty testing to find their best "human product".
I was actually going to go out and buy some Estee Lauder product this weekend. I am so glad that I looked this up as I will no longer be doing so. And to me, even if a company is 'reserving the right' to test on animals – it's the same darn thing as animal testing. With the science we have now-a-days—-there is no need to do such a thing. I'm glad I never started any of those products by those 3 companies and will NEVER do so.
C'est navrant de voir qu"autant de marques qui soit disant sont respectueuses de la nature et des Animaux nous leurre de cette façon je suis dégoutée en particulier pour l'Occitane…je leur ai fait part de cette situation ils ont zappé mes commentaires ..c'est bien la preuve qu'ils quelque chose à cacher pffff triste mentalité!
BUY LUSH HANDMADE COSMETICS! Over 800 stores in 47 countries. We are STILL FIGHTING ANIMAL testing since the day we started. All vegetarian products with appx 81% of those being vegan. Super green by innovative ideas/packaging concepts!
Just one of the MANY reasons why I use & sell Lemongrass Spa products and not any of that other stuff. Lemongrass Spa is natural and safe and does NOT test on animals at all! It's a wonderful company. This is just so sad…
And this is why I sell Lemongrass Spa… natural handmade products 🙂
I am a Mary Kay Sails Director and am proud to be a part of Mary Kay for 14 years! I've talked with the company. They do NOT test on animals, however because every nation we work with must be in the agreement China will not agree to NEVER test on animals after the baby milk scare they had a couple of years ago. Because they don't normally test on animals, but reserve the right to in case of human consumption problems they will not sign the agreemnt. People with the power of freedom of speach should collect all the facts before bashing a company's reputation for Excellence!
…I sell Avon, i just discovered this morning that All these companies now test on animals… May sound dumb, but, i've wanted to sell Avon since i was a little girl, because i loved my pets, and knew that big companies that care don't test… Well growing up and doing research now, i can't believe my eyes… I'm considering ending my Avon business…. This isn't fair to humans and animals alike… 🙁
This is upsetting. I started using Estee Lauder last year and it worked amazingg and now I have to look up another brand! After reading this, Estee Lauder is def. not my fav!
I am terribly disappointed! Just witches to Mary Kay 1 1/2 months ago because I was thrilled to find a company that had what I wanted AND didn't test on animals. I am going to obviously stop using their stuff and thinking about looking into returning the up to $400 worth of stuff I bought. Why would anyone want to harm and destroy these precious animals…….there are more than enough criminals in jail that should HAVE to be experimented on. It should be mandatory for convicts!!!!! LEAVE THE ANIMALS ALONE!!!!!!
This makes me cry. What is wrong with the people who do this to beautiful animals we should take care of. Not kill and torture. I have never bought and never used these labels, and I will certainly not do it either. Why on earth they do that when "prettier" (who those people sure care about…) friendlier, nicer, not torturing ways to test makeup. We know what they do to the animals, so they lose money. I thought they wanted to earn?
how do we know if any product is not tested on animals, if the rabbit symbol isn't telling us the product is not tested on animals what can we do?
I have been using Beautiful Perfume for years. I was buying more tomorrow but thought I would look deeper into it as I just switched all my makeup to Arbonne. I now need to find a new frangrance. So disappointing as that was my favourite smell:(
I'm confused. According to this, Estee Lauder tests on animals, and so they have been removed from the list of companies that don't test; yet, Aveda is owned by Estee Lauder, and they are still on the list. What?

This fall, MC will offer the first classes in a doctor of professional counseling program created for licensed counselors who wish to concentrate in a specialty. Designed for counselors who plan to practice rather than teach, the program is the first of its kind in the United States.
Professional counselors are eligibleto be licensed to practice after earninga master's degree and performing clinical hours in counseling. While counselors may complete coursework inmarriage and family counseling, mental health, or other specific areas andchoose to emphasize those areas intheir practices, they are still recognizedas "general" counselors in terms oftheir academic credentials. The only doctoral programs currently offered in the field are designed for those who plan to teach; the MC program is the first designed specifically for those who wish to practice.
"Prior to the creation of this program at MC, there was not a degree professional counselors could earn that would allow them to add doctoral level specialization that would recognize them as a specialist in marriage and family counseling, mental health counseling, or other specific areas," says Don W. Locke, dean of the School of Education. "This degree program offers specific coursework and clinical experience in those areas, and will allow practicing counselors to hold a doctoral level degree.
"Locke, who served as president of the 50,000-member American Counseling Association for 2011-2012, announced the launch of the MC pro- gram at the organization's national conference held last March in San Francisco. Twenty-four students have already enrolled.
"The MC program is already receiving national attention," Locke says."There's been a need for this degree for years, and I believe most people in the field expected it to be offered first by a large state university focused on clinical research. The fact that the program was launched by a small, private university in Mississippi has attracted even more attention. Other universities will attempt to replicate the degree, but that may take a year or more. Until then, MC is the first to offer this degree for counselors and the clients they serve."

No Items in Shopping Cart
These small, light, steel streetcars were designed for one-man operation, which made them a boon to labor-strapped cities during World War I and economical to operate during the Great Depression. Originally called 'Safety Cars' to emphasize that they were safe to ride, even without a conductor, they are better known as 'Birneys' after their co-designer, Charles O. Birney.

In the world of internet marketing, the word "spam" gets thrown around quite a bit. Spam is an unfortunate reality of the world we live in today. But is guest blogging as a way to promote your website considered spammy?
Let's look at guest blogging from another angle before we fully condemn it as just another part of the evil spam empire. Imagine that you walk into a steak house and order a t-bone cooked medium rare. If the steak is later presented to you well done, do you say to the manager, "Your stove doesn't know how to cook a steak!"?
Of course you don't. The stove is simply the tool that a cook used to prepare the steak. It's the cook's misuse of the stove that resulted in an overdone steak. Similarly, guest blogging in and of itself is neither spammy nor non-spammy. It is simply a tool. How that tool gets used is up to those who create the content.
The truth is that, while some bad eggs are filling up the blogosphere with spam, guest blogging can and is being used as a highly valuable tool to help professional organizations derive a great deal of value. But, with so much blog spam out there, how does one prevent their guest blog post from being marked as spam?
The short answer is, "Don't write spam." For the longer answer, consider what follows.
Create Professional Content
Spammers are lazy. Their goal is to create as much content as possible in the shortest amount of time. This often means poorly written posts (often spun) that provide little-to-no value which makes grammar nazis want to cut their own eyes out.
A professionally written, informative post that hasn't been overdone (unlike the steak we mentioned earlier) is much more likely to be found useful to its readers and unlikely to be mistaken as spam.
A few ways to ensure your content remains professional and doesn't risk crossing into the realm of spam are to:
- Avoid promoting your business or website and focus on providing great value to the reader.
- Have your content copy edited by someone else to ensure it is free of grammar errors and misspellings.
- Avoid beating the figurative dead horse — keep your content unique and original
Avoid Spammy Blogs
Blogs that accept just any old content are likely to be filled with over-spun articles containing subject matter that has been done to death. Professional chefs don't serve their food out of fast food joints with good reason. Your professional content shouldn't be caught dead alongside something put out by someone who sounds like they failed third-grade grammar.
We are often judged by the company we keep. Even if your blog post is professional, original, and highly useful to its readers, posting it on a blog full of spammy content could result in people — or worse, search engines — believing that you are one of "them."
However, blogs that provide value to their readers will be appropriately judged by all — as will your guest blog post.

This is the vest I have been waiting for
By Uwe the Machine
from Carmel, CA
About Me Avid Adventurer
Comments about Ultra LR Vest by CamelBak:
I have owned a vest from another manufacturer for a long time, but now that I have the Ultra LR, I don't think that other vest will get used much in the future. After wearing the Ultra LR on two long runs, I can say this:* the vest is fully adjustable (I am 5.11' tall)* even when fully filled, I barely feel the weight of the reservoir on my shoulders* lots of storage space: I can easily carry two large bottles of goo, cell phone, keys, space blanket, and a water-proof first-aid kit - and still have room to spare!* you can route the water tube multiple ways
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good bag, just not Camelbak perfect
By lisabinne
from Lincoln, NE
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I am a big loyal fan of Camelbak. Love their bags A LOT. This one, however, fell a little short for me. First use: 10.20 mile hike on my town's bike trails and around our man made lake. Temp was 87 with full sun, very good for my area in AugustPros1. Even with my lower back issues, it felt great. not a lot of pressure or pulling on my back2. Once adjusted, fit wonderfully and stayed put (across my chest and over my shoulders. see the con about my stomach below)3. Once adjusted, it did not move much, and when it did, was easy to cinch up4. Took a lot of the pressure of my shoulders and arms, leaving me with very little swelling (a problem I have been having with other packs)5. pockets seemed good and surprisingly there were a lot of optionsCons1. If I had purchased this at the beginning of my weight loss endeavor, I would not be able to fit it. I am between 245 and 250 and have a nice sized chest. While the chest part fit pretty well, the waist part was at the end of the straps and rode up my belly, pulling my shirt with it.2. It can be hot on your back. I was sweating so much on my back, I thought I had a leak.3. It is not insulated. Warm water only wets your mouth and throat. Cool water quenches your thirst on a hot day. This one change could have gotten 5 stars from me4. It took me a minute to figure out how to adjust the shoulder straps with the Velcro. The Velcro does not allow for on the fly adjustments. You have to be satisfied with your positioning or be ready to to stop in your tracks to may adjustments in the field. Not good if you are racing.Overall, even with the cons, I did like this bag and would recommend it to others. The true test will come when used at its intended event.

My new go to pack for the long run.
By Nick
from Indiana
I got this new pack just in time for this years Big Sur Marathon. I saw the forecast was going to be warm and knew I could use all the capacity I could get. I did not have a chance to test it out prior to the run so I was a little nervous about trying something new on a run of this length. Thankfully I was plesently suprised. No chaffing, very little pack movement, no breathing restriction, enought room for my shell jacket/food/etc, and most importantly for big sur plenty of water. Two notes 1). The retention straps for the front pockets kept slipping loose with a full water bottle(3/4 full was no issue)and 2)It helps to keep the load in the front pockets balanced so the pack does not pull to one side.
