György Kurtág at PlayPosted by Evan Johnson in CD Review, Evan Johnson, Piano
Gyōrgy Kurtí¡g: Jí¡tekí³k (selections)
Gí¡bor Csalog, Andrí¡s Kemenes, piano; Mí¡rta and Gyōrgy Kurtí¡g, muted upright piano
Jí¡tekí³k ("Games"), a still-growing collection of short piano pieces by the world's leading miniaturist, Gyōrgy Kurtí¡g (1926-), lives in the shadow of Bartok's Mikrokosmos. Again, we see a Hungarian composer assembling piano miniatures with at least a glancingly pedagogical intent. The similarities are only superficial, though; Bartok's pieces, wonderful as they are, are stern, schoolmasterish exercises compared to the collection of whimsical delights Kurtí¡g has been assembling continually since 1975.
Jí¡tekí³k builds piano music up from its elements: not pitches and rhythms, however simple, but wood, arms, elbows, and keys. Insofar as these are pedagogical pieces (and that is an unanswerable question), they are aimed not at developing technique or dexterity but wonder, creativity and surprise; not at producing pianists, but musicians.
There are 58 tracks on this disc, with a total length of just over an hour; everyone will have his or her own favorites. Standouts for me include "Versetto: Temptavit Deus Abraham (apocryphal organum)", from Book VI, a wonderfully slanted gloss on pre-medieval polyphony in which the parts approach each other asymptotically but never quite line up the way they should, and the various pieces entitled "Objet trouvé," based around soft, gently swirling glissandi. But there is, quite literally, something for everybody; the selection represented here is catholic, and ranges from a good-humored fourteen-second bagatelle called "Jumping Fifths" to a collection of long (i.e., two-minute), tolling laments in memory of various Hungarian colleagues and acquaintances.
Gí¡bor Csalog, joined occasionally by Andrí¡s Kemenes for four-hands pieces, plays this selection from the ever-growing collection of "Games" with an air of transparent simplicity and an absolute mastery of touch. Keyboard-sweeping glissandi are caressed with preternatural softness, and never have I heard a pianist's elbows deployed with such control of dynamics and phrasing. As an added bonus, the composer and his wife perform a handful of selections together at the keyboard of a muted upright piano; they end the disc with a heartbreakingly innocent and calm performance of Kurtí¡g's arrangement of Bach's Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit from the Actus Tragicus.
Kurtí¡g, who plays some of these pieces whenever he makes one of his occasional forays onto the concert stage, has recorded his own selection (alongside a larger number of Bach transcriptions) on an ECM disc, which I have not heard. I can confidently recommend this new recording nevertheless. It is charming in the extreme, and filled with unexpected wonders.

Skip to comments.Sarah Palin: Anyone but Obama in the White House (Tue, Apr 3, 2012)
Posted on 04/03/2012 9:53:24 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
NEW YORK (AP) Sarah Palin doesn't sound too gung-ho about Mitt Romney as the GOP presidential candidate, but she insists that anyone is better than Barack Obama in the White House.
Anybody "would be infinitely better than what we have today," Palin said Tuesday on the "Today" show.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Palin 2016. :D
What's your point about shoes or was it toes??
I'm voting for Newt today!
If you vote for a leftwing, gun grabbing, abortion mandating homo like Mittens then you must really hate this country.
If you can't have 4 more years of Obama, then why support Romney, the designated loser??
I will never vote for the douche
Once again the US is faced with an election based on the lesser of two evils. Or, as Lewis Black states it, which bucket of **** will be less revolting 4 years from now.
Especially if conservative republicans choose not to get in the race.
Sorry, Sarah, I'll not support Romney.
And you're dead wrong if you do.
Nothing is written that states we can't Tea Party rally against Romney once/if he gets in....
A rather tepid endorsement of Romney.
Bears repeating. Funny that the "Communist Party" isn't backing Romney over B.O., isn't it? bttt
Not necessarily - Newt is not Obama. Besides thus was from April 3. I'm voting for Newt today!
That's a picture of Hillary's feet, isn't it?
And how will you feel when he drops out and endorses Romney?
Obama must be fired. That's the bottom line for me.
If you look at the combined SCOTUS appointment by Reagan, GHW Bush, and GW Bush:
Reagan: 1-0-2 (0.667)
Scalia +1 (win)
Kennedy 0 (tie)
O'Conner 0 (tie)
George HW Bush 1-1-0 (0.500)
Thomas +1
Souter -1
George W Bush 2-0-0 (1.00)
Roberts +1
Alito +1
Total: 4-1-2 (0.710)
Even with 3 Moderate to Conservative presidents, 0.71% of the time you are going to get a conservative Justice
Clinton 0-2-0
0buma 0-2-0
Total: 0-4-0 (0.000)
Which odds do you take?
Hey, why not. I mean I'm going to hold you personally responsible if Obozo is re-elected. I guess it's only fair.
Just wondering why you deliberately are using this APRIL 3 thread - from 3 weeks ago - today on this primary day.
I'm voting for NEWT today!
LOL - good one!
NEWT is in the race - don't not act clueless - you are on FR. Save your deception for those who wallowed in deceit - and it's not here! Here we expose them, consider yourself exposed.
I own me.
I am my own ruler.
My life is my own and mine alone.
My income and material things belong to me.
My things are my own and mine alone.
My time is my own and mine alone.
I do not owe my time or labor to anyone.
No one else is entitled to one second of my time.
Could not disagree with your selfish beliefs or posts more.
I am one of God's children.
Jesus is my ruler.
My life is owed to God alone.
My talents and income and material things belong to God.
My things are God's alone.
My time on this Earth is God's alone.
I owe my time and labor (and praise and prayers) to God.
God can take it all back at any time, so I better use it wisely.
As to the election, much as I still prefer another candidate, Romney has secured by far a significant percentage of the votes so there obviously is some enthusiasm for him. Denying this is (selfishly) putting blinders on.
How do delete a post or thread?
I just told a friend the other day that we'd be far better off if Hillary had won.
Abuse yourself.
lookin' at those toes, so would dick morris
I saw at least 5 articles this morning that said he was finally considering dropping out of the race. You are the clueless one if you think Newt isn't going to put his financial situation first. You can't handle the truth. Color me exposed!
You sound like a mittbot with that comment!! NEWT is in the race!! I'm holding you personally responsible for spreading falsehoods. Everyone knows she and Todd voted for Newt.
Your set only applies to saved, believing Christians.
Due to what He did for us, we belong to Him and owe him everything.
Others may live by the former set of statements,
but we may not.
However, we shouldn't expect the same requirements of the unsaved that we are required to live by. They just aren't going to live that way.
"For the sake of our party we must stand united, whoever our nominee is."-Sarah Palin
She did not endorse him - one has to question the motives of FreeThinkerNY to dig out this thread from APRIL 3 - from 3 weeks ago - since it is primary day TODAY in many states.
Sarah and Todd voted for Newt!
In the short run. A one-term Obama might be the best thing that happened to this country. A two-term 0 on the other hand . . .
I think my set applies in all cases. Recognition of this, however, comes to the saved (IMO).
I dont expect the same of anyone else. Thats between them and God.
I'm not a party - I'm a citizen voter who votes according to my values. I don't belong to a cult with no individuality but mass thinking .
(and just to note, that is actually how)
I'm not a party - I'm a citizen voter who votes according to my values. I don't belong to a cult with no individuality but mass thinking.
Not surprised you didn't post her words that she and Todd voted for Newt. You must be a mittbot since you are into deception.
They GOT you - since you are so easily deceived. They did the same thing last week. So you proved one more time deception is your game and you take joy in spreading it.
EVIL MITTBOTS doing his dirty work - and eating the $*^! he gives them.
You screech and wail incessantly. You must get a thrill out of being perpetually outraged and offended.
The governor and I voted for the same candidate, you fool!
Check Romney's judicial appointments in Massataxes, you will find the vast majority are leftists.
I am free and NOT required or obligated, there is no bondage in God but WANT to live God's WAY.
They just arent going to live that way.
They live in fear, their master is satan, who instills fear.
God's own listen to HIM, 'Fear not'.
Since there are two masters - everyone belongs to either God or satan. So I don't expect anything from anyone - they live according to whom they serve, 'fear' or 'fear not'.
Who is the one who posted 'ABO', fool?!! So stop your wailing! You must get a thrill out of only posting half the story to deceive.
First, O'Connor was a Giant Negative, not merely a Zero.
Second, Romney would appoint all O'Connor types.
"required" I guess is the wrong word.
But I certainly feel "obligated", even knowing that my works can never repay Him or save anyone including myself.
And that's the entire point of not supporting Romney.
It's the quote from her CPAC speech.
It isn't my responsibility to provide every Palin quote. I consider my time more valuable than that.
You can provide Palin quotes if you want to. You could start by going to her Facebook page. I'm sure others would appreciate your efforts if you do so. It could be a positive outlet for your energy.
Actually it wasn't my intent to make this a religous thread. I am just sick of the comments from certain "my way or the highway" Freepers about ABO being worse than Obama, and preferring to sit out and see a second term than to support what ever candidate wins the primary. After looking at this particular Freepers homepage and seeing his guiding principles, it became obvious to me the self centered illiberalism that would motivate that attitude.
We can never repay HIM, it's not even a thought. But I will obey His Ways and hate what HE hates and not out of obligation but love.
But when one is in awe of HIM/His Goodness, "we (all) who fear the LORD will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech." Prov 8:13
"Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for He guards the lives of His faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked". Psalm 97:10
"Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil". Proverbs 3:7
"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good." Romans 12:9
I understand and God isn't 'religious' but HE should be in everything we do.
I gotta go!

FREDERICK, Md.- NaturaLawn of America, Inc. is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a "silver" reminder of how its green longevity began in 1987. NaturaLawn of America's Founder and President Philip Catron's qualifications as a board-certified agronomist enabled him to develop the nation's first natural and organic-based lawn care company with a unique and proprietary line of products.
Catron credits his staff and 60-plus franchisees across the United States for their efforts in distinguishing NaturaLawn of America throughout the past 25 years and the business continues to be the "ground-breaking" leader in the green industry.
Milestones were reached in the 1990s when NaturaLawn was the only lawn care company invited to testify before the U.S. Congressional hearing for the Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform and Oversight of Committee on Small Business in the U.S. House of Representatives.
NaturaLawn was also a contributing author in helping the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency write the handbook on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for lawn care and signed a contract to provide the first professional playing field to go organic in the nation with safer turf care at Memorial Stadium for the then-Baltimore Stallions in Baltimore, Md.

Where's macca and Ms Bardot when you need them most!?
Hunters are being paid a 20p bounty for each rabbit killed on Shetland.
The move comes after crofters and farmers reported severe damage to crops, particularly during the Easter breeding season.
The South Mainland Rabbit Control Society said shooting was the more humane way of cutting the numbers.
But Doreen Graham, of the Scottish SPCA told BBC Scotland: "Shooting is probably the best option, providing the person is a good shot."
"The Scottish SPCA likes to see agriculture in a strong financial state because animal welfare suffers if it's not."
Six rabbits can eat as much as a sheep in one day
Drew Ratter
Crofters Commission
A spokesperson for the South Mainland Rabbit Control Society said: "Anybody in the south mainland can join. The larger landowners have already signed up and anybody wanting to hunt should get their permission.
"The society counts the tails and the money is paid out once a month. We keep a tally of each person's tails and a record of where they were shot.
"We've got six or seven hunters at the moment. They do it for sport and pocket money."
Drew Ratter, of the Crofters Commission for Shetland and Orkney, said: "Six rabbits can eat as much as a sheep in one day.
"When you multiply that by thousands it is a considerable amount of food being consumed.
Thousands of rabbits died in the previous culls
"Shetland has had good summers recently and the rabbit population has multiplied tremendously fast."
Mr Ratter, who is also a Shetland Islands councillor, added: "The damage they can cause is huge, especially in an area like the south end of the island which is sandy. Rabbits can destroy huge areas of grazing."
A bounty has previously been operated on the island by the local authority.
Shetland Islands Council paid 25p per tail in 1990, and a total of 11,183 rabbits were killed.
The following year the bounty rose to 35p per tail, and the number shot rose to 15,607.
Really, I'm kidding.

Dan Visconti
Lonesome Roads
Bridge Records CD
Lonesome Roads is Dan Visconti's first solo disc. Just thirty, the composer certainly has lots of talent and relishes the challenges posed by projects inspired by disparate musical styles. In particular, Visconti loves to combine American traditional music with various strains of concert music. When his postmodern magpie approach works, as it abundantly does on the title piece, a seven-movement suite at turns rhapsodic, folksy and hypermodern, the results are affecting. Similarly, Low Country Haze mixes clarinet in Coplandesque Americana mode with flute rasps and bends, punctuating percussion, and neo-romantic string swoons.
Elsewhere, there's some inconsistency. While the individual sound schemes are the most adventurous assayed by the composer, the juxtapositions found in Fractured Jams feel forced, and the results, particularly in the closing ragtime movement, underwhelm. "Remembrances," a post-romantic piano ballad, in places is overly sentimental; even schmaltzy. Black Bend, a piece for amplified string quintet that's a showcase for the first violin, is even more problematic. It is an object lesson for one of the challenges facing polystylistic creatives: if you transplant a highly identifiable element into another medium, it may not work out well. So, all emerging crossover composers repeat after me: bluesy box riffs and Berlin-based string ensembles do not, based on the evidence supplied here, appear to mix well. If the accompaniment doesn't swing it doesn't matter how fiery the fiddle hoedown is down front.
Like Black Bend's tale of two dissimilar demeanors, one sizzling and another mawkish, the Lonesome Roads CD leaves a decidedly mixed impression of Visconti's work.

Mike Wandling, CDT: Leading By Example
Posted Nov 15, 2012 in Labs & Profiles
There are technicians attracted to the artistic side of dental technology, and then there's Mike Wandling. "I love the math, science and biology that's involved," he says. "This field has a little bit of all of those things and I enjoy using them to enhance a person's look and function."
Since joining Keller Laboratories as a metal finisher 11 years ago, Wandling has steadily worked his way up the ladder, handling a variety of positions including investing/casting, waxing, fixed quality control, and training and development; today he serves as Fixed Production Manager overseeing a department of over 60 technicians.
Driving this ambitious technician is his desire to be the best he can be and to serve as a good example for the rest of the Keller staff. For instance, when the lab was planning to host its first CDT exam a few years ago, Wandling—then the Director of Training and Education for the fixed department—encouraged his technicians to become certified. He wasn't yet certified and says he "felt a responsibility to step up and practice what I was preaching" so he too sat for the exam, got his CDT in C&B and, the following year, earned a CDT in ceramics as well.
He also had a long-time dream of earning his MBA so, in 2010, he went back to school and, for two years, juggled work and school as well as a family--including three young children. "It was a total lifestyle change and I didn't have much free time for anything. Even my lunches were consumed with homework," says Wandling, who finished his MBA in May. "But it was worth it. Earning that degree and what I learned about management and strategic planning has been invaluable to me in this position and demonstrates my commitment to the laboratory."
Keller's Fixed Manager Dave Swedholm agrees. "Mike is able to see the big picture and can quickly make adjustments and decisions to positively affect both production and the business needs of the organization. His commitment to education, technology and production makes him an excellent role model for the Keller staff and others entering the dental laboratory field."

Ok, This morning when I woke up I had 3 days worth of facial hair growth. This strikes me as quite unusual as i have always had very predictable stuble growth. The only thing I can think of is that i have had 3 new teas in the last 36 hours.
Tue night i had my first rooibos (cinnimon apple), Yesterday I had 4 cups of caramel black, and 2 cups of yunnan gold. Just wondering if this phenomena could be in any way attributed to any of these products. And if so should I be concerned.

text: Haven't said much (or anything) about it, but I lost partial use of my left hand back in December due to a pinched nerve. Took all this time to find the problem area but 2 weeks ago my neurosurgeon (a former racer) fixed it for me; 3 level laminectomy and removal of a minor disk bulge. 4 more weeks of light duty and 3 months before I can go back to serious contact sports, but he said full recovery is likely. Typing is already a lot better. Then my wife had an accident and totaled her van. She's bruised but OK, the van is totaled, and we will be shopping for a new car for her. Between that and college for the kids I've had to make the hard decision to retire from racing. Stinks, but there you have it. It's been a good 30 years at least. And she insists I keep riding (as if I'd quit) on the street, and maybe I'll have time to do a little dirt riding. Anyway, we will be selling the current race bike - '03 SV with a Zlock motor and a few other goodies including spare wheels, fairings, transponders, etc. I'll keep the current street bike and rebuild the old superbike as a streetbike for my son, and my dad is giving me his 'wing. He's finally admitted he can't ride anymore and the thing has just been sitting. I'll finally have something comfy enough to take the wife for afternoon rides. (grin) Justin has committed to college next year and asked me to hold his vintage bike until he's done. I'll still be around, just not racing. Randy Grein, WMRRA #141 (retired)

Codes & Standards
Codes and standards are the guiding force behind the hearth and barbecue industry. There are building codes, fire prevention codes, safety standards, construction standards and much more. In the following pages you will be able to research which codes and standards relate to your area of interest and where to get more detailed information. Also, you will be able to determine when that code or standard may be updated or when there will be a meeting of a task force related to it.
Before you get started...
Codes are typically legal documents that have the force of groups such as the International Code Council (ICC) behind it and are enforced by such groups through building inspectors.
Standards are guidance documents, often written by experts in their field. They are created by Standards Development Organizations (SDO's) with Code Groups looking to the SDO's for guidance in writing code.

2015 Codes and Standards Currently Under Revision:
Last update 12/29/2015
- Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA Ontario): Click HERE for a TSSA presentation on delayed ignitions for direct vented gas fireplaces.
- NFPA 211—restricting the use of replacement products on fireplaces.
Following an unusually circuitous balloting process, all problem items in the most recent National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 211 ballot have now been resolved. As you may recall, the NFPA 211 Committee had several proposals that were threatening the use of aftermarket products for repair and replacement of existing fireplaces,chimneys and accessories, as well as proposals to restrict new installations, in particular of gas log sets in new fireplaces.
In the maintenance portion of the standard, the committee will now allow for the approval by a Qualified Agency (such as NFI or CSIA). The first draft language created by the NFPA 211 Committee for the maintenance portion of the standard only allowed listed and approved products or approval by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ/Building Inspector). Without this wider approval authority, confusion could arise. For example, in situations where installations include products from a manufacturer who later went out of business, and/or the original parts became unavailable, fireplaces would be condemned for lack of relevant parts, even though comparable parts are available on the market.The adopted change gives those Qualified Agencies the ability to make educated decisions on the use of comparable parts.
For the new installation portion of the proposals, the Committee's first draft proposed language would have unnecessarily restricted the installation of a number of products due to a requirement that products be listed and approved for "specific fireplaces." This would have required all gas log sets, for example, to be listed and approved for each fireplace for which they could be installed. Up to this point, the requirements for gas logs in UL 127 fireplaces were typically limited only by Btu output. HPBA saw this as unnecessary and overly restrictive. After two ballots carrying proposed changes in language were defeated, the end result is the same. The existing language that has been in the code for over 15 years will stay in effect.
The initial effort to modify the 2015 Edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSZ223.1/NFPA 54) that will culminate into the 2018 Edition has started. All comments received in July have been assembled and distributed to 3 different Advisory Panels for initial recommendations. The three NFPA 54/ASC Z223 Advisory Panels are scheduled to meet on September 14-17, 2015, meetings in Atlanta and the agendas and submitted support materials are available at www.aga.org at this link and at www.nfpa.org/54. Please note that there are a total of 154 Public Inputs, the most submitted in many cycles. They have been assigned according to the subject matter (Piping Panel, Equipment Panel and Venting Panel). Three of them (global standards updates) will be held for the full committee meeting in October. They break down as follows:
- Piping Panel: 87
- Equipment Panel: 37
- Venting Panel: 27
- Unassigned: 3
The 3 Advisory Panel recommendations on each proposal will then be sent to the full Z223.1/NFPA 54 Committee for their consideration. The full committee meeting will make a recommendation on each proposal at their meeting on October 13-15 (details to be coming) in the San Francisco area. The full committee's recommendations will be published for another round of public review. A number of the proposals are troublesome for fuel gas installations and will need to be addressed during the review process.
Gasketed Fireplace Issue (IRC 2009 & IRC 2012):
HPBA is concerned with the number of municipalities and states that are now adopting or have adopted either the 2009 or the 2012 International Residential Code (IRC). Contained in the 2009 IRC is the requirement to use gasketed fireplace doors. The code states: R1001.13 Fireplaces. New wood-burning fireplaces shall have gasketed doors and outdoor combustion air. HPBA was able to get this constraint out of the 2012 IRC, but it lived on in a section referred to as "the checklist." After attempting to get the requirement removed from the 2012 IRC by stating the safety hazard involved (by requiring something that would be a violation of the safety standard of UL 127 fireplaces and a possible fire hazard), we were turned down by the International Code Council (ICC). HPBA was finally able to get all language regarding "gasketed doors" removed from the 2015 IRC.
This is a dangerous requirement. UL 127 fireplaces are typically not tested with gasketed fireplace doors and the addition of these products may cause heat buildup within the unit for which they are not tested. In fact, the word "gasket" or "gasketed" are not contained within the UL 127 Standard. This can very easily create operational concerns due to excess heat buildup.
It is essential that, when confronted with this issue by a local building official (Authority Having Jurisdiction or "AHJ"),your approach should be that the gasketed door requirement ran contrary to manufacturers' installation instructions and was a safety concern of the manufacturers installation instructions and that it has (as of the 2015 code) been removed as a requirement.

I have a dream.
My dream is that one day, humans will open their eyes to see that animals are no different than we are and that in their last moments of life, we are the same. We all look at death with fear, we all desire freedom, and we all deserve to live.

This is a repetitive dream I have.., It's about our fellow Earthlings, It's a dream where we save their lives and our souls in the process. It's the achievement of Peace, Salvation can happen here on Earth but only if we let it. I want to be dreaming with my eyes open and have my dreams become a reality. Please find compassion to help save our fellow Earthlings. – Samantha J DeBockler.

1239 days agoVA:F [1.9.22_1171]
Mon rêve est d'ouvrir les yeux des peuples à la réalité de la souffrance qui arrive aux animaux chaque jour dans l'intérêt de nous les humains quand vraiment, nous pouvons vivre et survivre sans l'utilisation d'animaux.
Nous pouvons être végétarien/végétalien et encore profiter d'une variété de mets délicieux. Nous pouvons utiliser des produits sans cruauté et encore apparence magnifique. On peut porter des solutions de rechange pour la fourrure et semblent toujours à la mode. Nous pouvons encore aller à des cirques gratuits animaux et j'ai un rire !
Il n'y a aucune excuse.
Instruisez-vous et ouvrir les yeux sur un monde nouveau sans souffrance.

Mi sueño, que mi semejante pueda entender que somos siervos y señores, que estamos en la tierra para educar e instruir no para maltratar ni destruir, que los animales también son seres vivos que debemos saber como instruirlo y enseñarnos correctamente no maltratando ni acabar con su hábitat y su especie , todo es un ciclo y cada uno en su lugar… otro sueño es irme a África, acariciar un elefante junto a la melena de un león , pero sobretodo dedicar palabra de vida a todo ser humano de parte de Dios Abba:)

Sonho com um dia seres humanos e Animais vivam em paz e que a dor deles seja igualmente respeitada e importante como a de um humano…. Sonho que a Terra é nossa casa e os animais nossos irmão e que deve cuidar deles com zelo e amor! Sonho que meu sonho, deixe de ser só um sonho e se torne realidade.

My dream is we realise that we are no more superior than other species. We are all born from another, and should die with another. Not in a slaughter house, so that somebody can eat your flesh or wear your skin, just because, they want to. Animals aren't there to be tested on either, their is many other solutions like, blood samples, organ donors etc. Animals can't speak for themselves, but we can. Would you like to be tested on? No? Well neither would the animals.

My dream is that everyone realises that hurting any animal is wrong. People can still be happy without abusing animals and that all animals are well looked after if they are pets or roaming freely in the wild if they they are wild.
Btw we need to make these dreams real. You know how? By showing everyone in the world PETA's videos of slaughterhouses, circuses, etc… I know its gonna be tough but it one of the only ways we can teach people about how animals are equal to us.
1435 days ago
My dream is to open peoples eyes to the reality of suffering that happens to animals every day for the benefit of us humans when really we can live and survive without the use of animals.
We can be vegetarian/vegan and still enjoy a variety of delicious foods. We can use cruelty free products and still look and feel beautiful. We can wear alternatives to fur and still look fashionable. We can still go to animal free circuses and have a laugh!
There is no excuse.
Educate yourself and open your eyes to a new world without suffering.

I wish people would just care.

My dream is for people to realize that the slaughter of animals is similar to the genocide of a ethnic race. A group of species is still being murdered by the masses. Their flesh and bones are consumed, but their composition is not meant for the human race to consume.

My dream is that people will realize that animals are just like people….they have a family…they have hearts…they have feelings…..so why do people keep on hurting them..why??? what if it was you?? you would hate it!! I want to change the world! I want everyone to see that they can make a difference in the world just by one change in there life …..I want to lower the cruelty to animals everywhere!!!!
1573 days ago
My dream is that one day all humans will go vegan and all the animals that we used to eat would be kept as family members. I hope one day people will see how beautiful and unique all animals are and never want to hurt them.

my dream is for people to realize that we, humans , being on top of the food chain , superior and stronger than all other animals have a responsibility , a responsibility to protect those that are weak and speak up for those that cant ! humans shouldnt misuse their powers for entertainment , hunger or betterment of their lives , US humans need to protect animals and restore a balance in the world.we need to reciprocate the never ending love that animals shower us with . also , i want to reduce the amount of strays , in my country india , by spreading awareness about the PUPPY MILLS (where all their breeded dogs come from) and the the benefits of adopting an indian dog . <3

My dream is for animal abuse to stop, and people realize that animals are just as important as humans, they are living organisms and DONT deserve to die and be abused.

My dream is..Umm simple..That us to live in coexistence with animals some day..I wish that day to come faster…We see what we want…We do what we want..We care only for us but for them who cares..They beg that we hear their cries and their painfull scream…We ruin everything…We kill everything dear to other…The earth..animals and even us are going to disappear..Why?Because we aew foolish to think that we are Gods and everything are for us to destroy…So my dreams is that humans to changea and live a peacefull life with them and also stop War…That`s what i`m going to say..PS:I am sure i have some grammar mistakes forgive me i dont have a good english..Peace!

My dream is for the world to recognize that all living creatures deserve respect, love, and the chance for a cruelty free life. I dream that all will look into the eyes of these creatures and see feelings that are the same as ours. Animal suffering coming to an end is my dream just as I wish no harm to any living creatures. Animals are not lesser creatures than humans, I have witnessed love, happiness, sadness, fear, caring, learning and many other things from animals. My best friend, my puppy, is my child and when I cry he always jumps up into my lap with his paws on my shoulders and licks me on my cheek. He knows that I am hurting and he wants it to stop and he wants me to know that he is there for me, just as i am there for him always!… my dream is that others can see this in animals that they care and that others will do what my puppy did for me… care and recognize the pain and want to make it go away. Animals= love, feelings, and LIFE and deserve to be free to be loved and cherished.
1589 days ago
my dream is that people will stop tormenting the poor animals and see that they are all amazing creatures like you and me. i dream that people learn to love the animals the way that we are loved and treat them with the respect that we all get. i dream that one day we can go a few days at least with not one animal killed or tortured by a human.
1589 days ago
My dream is that people stop being so ignorant about issues regarding animals. Many people are aware that there is animal abuse and mutilation happening, and that their lifestyle supports this, but they choose to ignore it because they simply do not care enough to change. I hope that one day, just as females and African Americans were officially deemed equal, that animals will be viewed the same way. I hope that people will stop exploiting animals and stop subjecting them to cruel, unnatural conditions for their own selfish desires and greed. My dream is that one day, people everywhere will choose a compassionate lifestyle in which no living being is harmed or made to suffer for them.
1591 days ago
I have a dream that compassion for all living beings will be abundant in our world. That speciesism will be abolished and that animals will not be considered livestock, but living creatures who deserve respect and love. I have a dream that sustainability and ethical treatment will overcome greed and factory farming. That all suffering will come to an end and that humans will realize that animals were not put on this earth for their pleasure; they're on this earth for the same reasons we are. When we suffer, we suffer as equals.

So powerful. I hope to show this at veg awareness day, hopefully people can understand it.

My dream is that people will finally understand that making the meat that you eat is just as dangerous as car emissions and is not healthy as some of them think. My dream is so we can all be as understanding and know that if we were the animals, we would not want to be in this situation, we would want to be free.
1594 days ago
my dream is that one day people will realized how much animal suffer.
they are no different then we are
stop animal cruelty.
1596 days ago
My dream is that one day the situation will be totally different. These animals will have a free live as humans, and/or live together with us as friends, not the otherwise. They will be free to express their feelings, they can protest, scream, talk to us, etc, etc, etc. And for people who think that animal testing is good, I have a dream that they will lose their tongue.
1597 days ago
My dream would be that one day people realize how sacred animal life is. Humans will finally see animals as their equal instead of food or entertainment. Animals will be able to stay in their natural habitats and we will all live in peace.

My dream for these animals.. If I could have one dream come true for animals It would be that ALL animals would be treated fairly and equal to their kind. I don't believe in Animal Abuse or tourture.. Its is cruel and the law for doing it should be longer than 10 years. They are mammals too, and they have a right to be treated like one!
1604 days ago
I have a dream that ALL animals will be treated exactly how we humans are and that people will actually open up their minds and see that animals have different reactions to what they are tested on than we are.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Why did we need Summorum Pontificum? Reason #7467
Here is a video from gloria.tv about a Mass in Germany for Fasching (the lead up to Lent called "Carnival" – historically a time of excess in various spheres). I know that Fasching has deep cultural roots… but… in church? … Continue reading

Hello, another newbie here.
I had been drinking Yogi green tea bags for several years never thinking much of it until my recent trip to Portland OR where I visited the Tao of Tea teahouse with some friends and WOW! I don't think I'll ever be the same!
I had the Frozen Summit Oolong and it was the most wonderful thing i'd ever tasted in my life. I also used Gaiwan cups for brewing which were so beautiful and I loved being able to see the tea floating. So now that I have been converted I need a little more knowledge about loose leaf teas and gong fu/ yixing methods as I simply can't bring myself to microwave another teabag ever again!
I purchased some China Gunpowder Green Tea from my supermarket and added about two teaspoons in my Beehouse teapot/infuser. After two minutes I poured a cup which tasted nice (nowhere near as nice as my frozen summit though) and it had a yellowish color. It appeared that the water level had gone down below the infuser so I left the leaves in the teapot. My next cup was very bitter however!
I would like to purchase a yixing tea pot, two I guess, as I like green and now I think I really like Oolong too. I know that you are supposed to only use one tyoe of tea in each pot but does that mean you can put any oolong in one pot, or only one particular kind of oolong?
Also for warming your water, does anyone use the stovetop, or is everyone using an electric kettle? I've seen pictures of little candle bowls that kettles sit on top of to keep warm, does anyone use one of those? Where can I find one?
Ok last question, I have heard round yixing pots are good for rolled oolong, would the classic style work then? Or would the rounder dragon style be better? And what shape would work well for my green tea?
Thank you all! It was a wonderful surprise to find a thriving tea community here!

In 1969 The Canadian Association of Broadcasters provided the start-up funding for what was later to become the Canadian Communications Foundation. Then in 1982, the CAB established its Hall of Fame to honour, in perpetuity, men and women whose contributions had demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to innovation, development and maintaining the highest standards of excellence in broadcasting generally -- particularly in Canada.
As the CAB observed its Diamond Jubilee in 1986, 26 persons were so honoured -- among them, Canadian-born Reginald Fessenden (1866-1932) who proved to the world in 1900 that the human voice could be successfully transmitted by radio waves and who, on Christmas Eve in 1906, broadcast the first radio program.
In 1994, the Canadian Communications Foundation entered all Hall of Fame inductees into its newly-created website. It also added biographies of other radio and television pioneers who had made significant and innovative contributions to the growth and development of Canadian broadcasting, but whose vision, ingenuity, dedication and venturesome undertakings had not been otherwise recognized.
This category was subsequently expanded to include broadcasters whose contributions to the building of the industry in later years were felt to be equally worthy of their being similarly recognized.
In June 2010, the Canadian Association of Broadcasters was first dissolved and then restructured on a much smaller scale, and the annual nomination and election of new names to the CAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame was discontinued. Subsequently, several Regional Associations of Broadcasters created their Halls of Fame or began to recognize the work of outstanding broadcasters in other ways, and where felt appropriate these nominees have been and will continue to be added to this section of our site.
The Foundation will also continue to add further names to this Section when it deems it appropriate to do so.

Biological systems are able to move with great elegance, agility, efficiency, and speed in a wide range of environment. Endowing machines with similar capabilities requires designing controllers that can address the challenges of high-degree-of-freedom, high-degree-of-underactuation, nonlinear and hybrid dynamics, with the added constraints of available actuators, sensors and processing power. In this talk, I will present the design of planning and control policies for two problems - dynamic legged locomotion, and dynamic aerial manipulation. First, I will discuss a nonlinear controller design that not only preserves the natural compliant dynamics of the system as part of the closed-loop but also provides a way of incorporating torque constraints into the control design. I will show experimental results of stable, efficient, robust walking, and stable, fast running on MABEL, a planar bipedal robot weighing 65 Kg and 1m tall at the hips. Next, I will discuss how a coordinate-free, geometric formulation of the dynamics of a quadrotor carrying a suspended payload allows us to synthesize planners and controllers with almost-global stability properties for aggressive maneuvers, with the ability to recover from almost any global state.

Former trooper granted new trial
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – The Michigan Court of Appeals has granted a new trial to a former Michigan State Police trooper who was convicted by jury in Iron County Trial Court in 2011 of two felony counts of criminal sexual conduct-second degree.
David Morikawa, 39, won the appeal on grounds that he had ineffective assistance of counsel.
Grant Carlson of Iron Mountain served as Morikawa's defense attorney during the 2011 trial. Due to a conflict of interest for the Iron County Prosecutor's Office, Special Assistant Attorney General Michael Stein of Traverse City, Mich. prosecuted the case.
Appeals Judges Michael Talbot, Kathleen Jansen, and Patrick Meter cited two specific incidents that occurred during Morikawa's trial in their written opinion.
The first incident was the jury's deadlock and eventual juror substitution.
Although jurors deliberated for almost 11 hours over a period of two days, they were unable to come to a unanimous verdict.
Later on the second day, court officials learned that one of the jurors refused to convict Morikawa based on his own experience of being accused of sexual misconduct.
The juror was excused and held in contempt of court for not disclosing the matter at jury selection.
Court officials recalled the alternate juror to take his place, and the new jury quickly reached a unanimous guilty verdict.
Appeals judges believed that the court did not properly instruct the new jury to begin their deliberations anew. Furthermore, they noted that Carlson did not make any objection to the court's improper instruction.
"Given the existence of the original two "holdouts," this was obviously a close case, and, when viewed in light of the error discussed infra, we find that it could indeed have had an effect on the outcome of the trial if the jury had begun deliberations anew with a new member and the fresh perspective that member would bring," the appeals judges' opinion read.
The second incident was the Court of Appeals' belief that Carlson failed to "object properly to improper character testimony" from Morikawa's former co-worker F/Lt. Christine Grabowski of the Michigan State Police.
F/Lt. Grabowski had testified to Morikawa's character, saying "he is not credible."
Appeals judges explained that character evidence is highly prejudicial and strictly limited at trial.
"Counsel's failure to object in this instance and in the jury-instruction instance constituted ineffective assistance of counsel," the appeals judges concluded.
As a result, they ordered that the case be reversed and remanded for a new trial.
The case would have to be re-tried in Iron County Trial Court. Trial court officials had no additional information as of this morning about when the case would be heard.
Carlson made the following statement to The Daily News:
"The decision from the Michigan Court of Appeals to grant Mr. Morikawa a new trial was the correct decision. After the jury had deliberated for 11 hours, twice being told by the jury that they were hopelessly deadlocked, and then being advised that juror's credibility was compromised, I made a motion for a mistrial to preserve the integrity of Mr. Morikawa's right to a fair trial.
"That motion was denied. The Court of Appeals also properly found that the judge who oversaw the jury deliberations failed to properly instruct the jury, upon the seating of the substitute juror, that the jury panel as a whole needed to begin their deliberations anew.
"I made numerous objections during the course of trial to a number of objectionable issues. The Court of Appeals rightfully agreed that the assistant attorney general assigned to the case solicited improper character testimony from a witness that I had objected to testifying in the first place and also made numerous objections to during the course of her testimony."
Following Morikawa's conviction in July 2011, he was sentenced to serve a minimum of one year and eight months in prison.
According to the Michigan Offender Tracking Information System (OTIS), Morikawa was paroled in March of this year and will continue to be on parole until March 2015. OTIS lists his parole location as South Dakota.
The charges against Morikawa stem from a July 2009 incident in Crystal Falls, in which he was accused of inappropriately touching a 12-year-old girl.
At the time of the incident, Morikawa was working as a trooper at the Michigan State Police post in Iron River. He later resigned.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Intra-Community trade in poultry and hatching eggs
The European Union (EU) lays down animal health rules to encourage the harmonious development of intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs. This harmonisation guarantees the application of common principles to imports of poultry and hatching eggs into the Member States, and prevents the entry into EU territory of animals infected with contagious diseases which represent a threat to health.
Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs.
This Directive governs intra-Community trade in, and imports of, poultry and hatching eggs. However, it does not apply to movements of animals within a Member State.
Types of animal and animal products
This Directive applies to:
- poultry (fowls, turkeys, guinea fowls, ducks, geese, quails, pigeons, pheasants, partridges and ostriches);
- day-old chicks, i.e. poultry less than 72 hours old, not yet fed. However, muscovy ducks and their crosses may be fed.
- hatching eggs.
This Directive does not apply to poultry intended for exhibitions, shows or contests.
Trade within the European Union (EU)
Establishments producing poultry and hatching eggs shall obtain approval to conduct trade with EU countries. Approval shall be granted by the Commission after examining the national plans. These plans shall indicate the measures which Member States intend to implement to ensure that establishments comply with the conditions as regards facilities and operation (see Annex II).
In addition, each Member State shall designate its own reference laboratory. The role of the national reference laboratories shall be to coordinate the diagnostic methods provided for in this Directive. The list of reference laboratories shall be updated regularly by the Member States and made available to the public.
Poultry and hatching eggs which are the subject of intra-Community trade shall satisfy the conditions laid down in terms of health. In particular, they shall have come from groups of healthy animals and originate in approved establishments which are not the subject of any animal health restrictions applicable to poultry.
Special provisions as regards salmonella shall apply to trade with Finland and Sweden which have a favourable health status. These two Member States (unlike the others) do not carry out systematic vaccination to protect poultry against Newcastle disease. Consequently, they may require additional animal health guarantees for imports of poultry and hatching eggs originating in other Member States.
The transportation of poultry and hatching eggs must comply with specific conditions relating to containers, packages, boxes, crates, cages and vehicles. In addition, poultry and hatching eggs shall be accompanied, during transportation to the place of destination, by a veterinary certificate which conforms with the model in Annex IV and is signed by an official veterinarian.
Imports from third countries
Poultry and hatching eggs may be imported into the European Union provided that they have originated in third countries included on the list drawn up by the Commission. To be registered on that list, the country (or part of a third country) shall guarantee compliance with health conditions at least equivalent to the Community rules. In particular, it shall:
- satisfy the conditions applicable to groups of animals and their establishment of origin;
- be able to provide rapid warning of the existence in its territory of contagious animal diseases on the list of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE);
- prevent or control contagious animal diseases;
- comply with the rules relating to health services and veterinary services;
- guarantee compliance with Community rules on hormones and residues.
Moreover, these countries shall make provision for compulsory notification of avian influenza and Newcastle disease.
During transportation, poultry and hatching eggs shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by an official veterinarian of the exporting country.
To ensure that all the provisions of this Directive are applied, on-the-spot inspections shall be carried out by veterinary experts. These veterinarians shall be designated by the Commission on proposals from the Member States.
The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health shall assist the Commission in settling animal health issues governing intra-Community trade in and imports of poultry and hatching eggs.
Entry into force
Deadline for transposition in the Member States
Official Journal
Directive 2009/158/EC
OJ L 343 of 22.12.2009
Successive amendments and corrections to Directive 2009/158/EC have been incorporated in the basic text. This consolidated version is for reference purpose only.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements [Official Journal L 226 of 23.8.2008].

While on my trip to Europe, I spent a week in Italy and fortunately was able to visit Naples to eat at L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele.I was able to score a nice video of them preparing a Margherita! Enjoy!
Also, Im strongly considering in the next couple months purchasing a WFO for my backyard! I will be doing some intense research into my choice of oven and ever learning as much as I can about the WFO prior to any moves I make, but I am very interested in this oven Omid suggested mehttp://www.fornoclassico.com/forno-piccoloIts a smaller scale oven that makes one pizza at a time that is somewhat similar to the primavera by forno bravo. Do you guys think this is a good move for me?
Thanks John!I have been learning a lot in the past couple of days, especially about how yeast works and the process of making dough.I will for sure try this recipe! Its the standard, so it follows very closely the recipe I have usually been doing, but I will scale it down and for sure I need to down the amount of yeast I use because I think 3g is way to much for the length of fermentation I would like. 5-6 hour dough is just not what Im looking for, a day sounds much better in terms of the outcome of the dough, from what Ive learned at least.
Autolyse is an excellent technique which can benefit any dough (pizza and bread). Of course, those who strictly stick to the traditional way of making pizza will tell you otherwise but it does not mean the dough made with autolyse will be an inferior dough. It's all about experimenting and finding the best possible workflow which gives you the best results. There are more critical factors in the dough making process as mentioned by John above in his post which you should focus on.
I have read about applying the autolyse to your dough, but I have not read about anyone from naples doing this. But, it is worth a try for sure.But, how sure are you about the whole "Autolyse will especially benefit you if you don't use a mixer in developing your dough."
Thank you very much Jordan. Finally, someone who can describe a crust with good detail. The best description I've read so far of an authentic NP pizza. Love your description of the chew factor and the ability to cut it fairly easily with a dull knife. It reminded me of this video posted by Omid?
Thank you very much for that elaborate description Jordan. Did you happen to time the bake?

Hi everyone,
Two of my favorite Paul's songs from the 80's are his big hits: "No More Lonely Nights" and "Pipes Of Peace". As far as I know he has never performed these two songs live and I really don't understand why. Does anyone by any chance know the reason?

The Great Salmon Run - Page 4
Finally, with the sun low in the sky, we found the way forward, which unfortunately led to several more hours of bushwhacking. Around 10 a.m. we heard a yell and then we saw him, Handsome Matt, who had come to meet us and guide us out. We were more than 12 hours behind schedule. The last few miles blurred together. After a final creek crossing we were at our truck, 52 hours after starting the journey of what turned out to be nearly 140 miles, an epic adventure during which I garnered more respect for the truly wild places of the earth, and I learned a great deal about how to dig deep.
Wild salmon born in a mountain stream, travel downstream all the way to the Pacific Ocean, and a few years later, make the return trip, upstream, to where they were born. The disappearing Snake River salmon will travel an amazing 1000 miles and 6000 feet in elevation to return to Idaho's Redfish Lake, where they will spawn and die.

Reduces stretch marks and fine lines around eyes
Posted by Reviewer2336436 on May 02, 2008
I blend this with rosehip seed oil and use it around my eyes and on my stretch marks. After 3 or 4 months of use, my stretch marks were much lighter in color and the texture was smoother. After a year and a half of use, my stetch marks are about 75% less noticable. They are the same color as my other belly skin, and the texture is smoother. All that is noticale of the original stretch marks, which were considered "severe" by my OB, is some wrinkles at the lowest part of my abdomen from the stretched skin, and they shine slightly in direct light when looking at them from the side. The puffiness and discoloration around my eyes is gone, and the fine lines are less noticable. Best wishes!
This is SYNTHETIC, not natural!
Posted by underfundig on Mar 27, 2013
I bought this product to help with acne scarring on my face and it helped somewhat, though nothing major. And it's so sticky, which is annoying. After using this for a while I tried rose hip oil instead which works SO much better (and non-sticky). Then I found out that it is in fact NOT NATURAL, even though it is advertised as such. I beauty blog I read contacted Jason directly and they themselves said that it is synthetic. I will not use this brand anymore as they can't be trusted to tell the truth about the ingredients in their products. Disappointed!
The best!
Posted by Reviewer2199758 on Mar 22, 2009
Oil that is good for scars, age spots, and regeneration on my face! I am 52 and look 42 thanks to Jason'! Stick and thick so I know it is pure vitamin E. I even use it on my hair for shine- rub a tiny bit in your hands and rub it into clean long hair.
Posted by Reviewer1536695 on Jun 16, 2009
I love all of Jason Natural oils. This pure vitamin E oil comes with a handy little 'spatula' which is attached to the lid, and a rim that is designed to minimize dripping outside the glass bottle. I use it straight on my daughter's chicken pox scars and also mixed with other oils to prolong their shelf life.
Great skin healer
Posted by Reviewer1406241 on Dec 01, 2009
A real, 100% Vit. E product. It is thick, but absorbs well into the skin. I use it every night on my hands and face. Heals up dry skin and minimizes wrinkles somewhat, too. (-:
Great for burns
Posted by Reviewer2321253 on Dec 08, 2009
I recently burned myself and started applying this several times a day and putting a bandaid over the top. It would itch, but it healed without a scar or redness. A previous burn on same hand (without Vit E oil) healed with a brown scar.
Great product
Posted by Reviewer1023732 on Aug 22, 2009
I am using this product to reduce scarring on my daughter after surgery. It is working great!
Excellent to heal scratches and scars
Posted by Reviewer2812782 on Jun 01, 2009
Got a new kitten and lots of scratches on hands. Vitamin E oil has saved them. It seems they are gone in days. Amazing.
Posted by Reviewer2538485 on Jul 27, 2009
I was thrilled with this product, rich oil, best defense against wrinkles and ageing. I use it neat at night or a teaspoon mixed in your regular moisturiser will make it an anti wrinkle cream.
must be good
Posted by Reviewer3164094 on Oct 07, 2008
Although this product is goopy, very goopy. when I put it around my eye area at night, I wake up looking fresh, NO puffiness at all!
