CCP Games' divisive PS3 shooter DUST 514 released near the end of an era. Boasting lore connections and persistent communication with the overwhelmingly complex EVE Online, DUST 514 is undeniably ambitious, and the company's recent trend of monthly updates and grandiose plans for future expansion leaves us with the promise that DUST 514 will continue to improve. But its official release date of May 14, 2013 fell remarkably close to PS4's impending launch, and given the historic fall to market irrelevance that passing console generations have seen, it's difficult to imagine DUST 514 will maintain high interest and a suitably large player base years from now.
To that end, one would expect a PS4 version of DUST 514 to be in the works. But try as CCP's fan community might to pry an answer, the Icelandic developer isn't giving up any details on the possibility. "We are laser-focused on PS3," said creative director Atli Mar Sveinsson to a curious fan during last weekend's EVE Vegas convention. Given this end-of-story response (preceded by a well-meaning retort referencing the 80 million PS3 units in circulation), I was wary of asking the same question to Kjartan Pierre Emilsson, DUST 514's lead game designer. Instead, I asked Emilsson, who is principally in charge of maintaining the gameplay and lore ties between DUST 514 and EVE Online, how CCP's relationship with Sony is progressing.
It was "a leap of faith in the beginning," Emilsson explains, specifically referencing the beginning of their partnership. "It's been absolutely fabulous working with them, actually, on this. I think they were as intrigued about all of this, and it's been a learning experience for both parties. They've been absolutely, 100-percent supporting us, which is great."
With such strong backing from Sony, it's not hard to imagine that a PS4 port of DUST 514 would be a cinch to arrange; the next-gen console's behemoth hardware would be a boon for the game's oft-criticized visual fidelity and technical performance. But while CCP isn't talking about what platform the next generation of DUST 514 will appear on, we know a good deal how DUST 514 and EVE will evolve alongside each other. Kjartan specifically referenced the removal of NPC proxies as the major drivers of DUST 514's in-game economy and gameplay systems. Mobile command centers that currently only symbolize match progress might be deployed by EVE pilots as warbarges carrying DUST 514 mercenaries to a planet's surface. The current DUST 514 match loading screen could be replaced by merc interaction within this physically moving warbarge, and throughout its travel, the threat of attack by another faction in EVE Online would loom. Loyalty points earned by fighting for a particular faction would be incentive for DUST 514 mercs, and optional resources they mine during a match could funnel back to the EVE pilots that deploy them and offer air support.
Fans of both games have called for this kind of significant interaction on forums and Twitter, and Emilsson underlined the importance of it: "Currently, logistics stuff is handled through NPC, and resources--which are the clones--are artificially bought by the market. These are the things we want to get rid of, and that will include making the logistics more happening on the EVE side with actual players . . . and resources generated come into the actual cycles of EVE." The whole idea is to bridge the gap between DUST 514 and its PC MMO progenitor in such a way that inspires both parties to participate heavily. CCP wants "to make sure that whatever news is made of this new kind of resource is something that is deeply meaningful for EVE players," Emilsson explained. "It so happens that, from an industrial and economical point of view, [these additions are] highly linked to DUST. That's where you get this common-value mechanism that will sort of strengthen the relationship between EVE and DUST players."
Also of note: CCP's earliest inspirations for DUST 514, formerly EVE FPS, were the first-person shooters they enjoyed playing on their own time. Kjartan cited the Battlefield series as among the team's favorites. "We liked shooters, so... why not?" Why not, indeed, though Kjartan was taken aback at my raised possibility of EVE Online coming to PS4 (with keyboard and mouse support), calling it "highly unlikely."

There are plenty of interesting stories in the papers but many of them are leading on the line we brought you yesterday, that Marcos Rojo is understood to have handed in a transfer request at Sporting Lisbon as he seeks a move to Manchester United. The Daily Mail adds that United are poised to splash out £80million to turn Louis van Gaal's squad into Premier League contenders, with Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria and Daley Blind of Ajax their top targets along with Rojo.
Marcos Rojo's desire to join Manchester United has, predictably, not gone down too well with Sporting Lisbon. The Argentina international is understood to have handed in a transfer request and he has also refused to train, which has left him facing 'strong disciplinary measures'. Sporting president Bruno de Carvalho believes Rojo could stay and see out his contract with the Portuguese club.

If it seems like In-N-Out Burgers are sprouting up every week in North Texas, well ... they kind of are. Last Thursday, it was an Arlington opening. This Thursday (Sept. 29), it's Irving's turn to experience the madness.
And it very well could be animal-style chaos: the spot for the new Irving restaurant is on an already maddeningly clogged stretch MacArthur Boulevard (6501 North MacArthur Blvd.). Let's just hope Irving has as solid a traffic control plan as the city of Fort Worth did when that location opened in August.
There will be one drive-through lane, with indoor accommodations for 77 customers, according to a press release from the company.
The beloved California burger chain has already opened six restaurants in North Texas. The most recent, in Arlington and Fort Worth, joined the expanding club already populated by stores in Frisco, Allen, and two in Dallas.
Next on the company's spatula to world domination are Rockwall, and a third Dallas branch, at 12909 Midway.
The chains nine scheduled Metroplex outposts are its first in Texas. The Irvine, Calif.-based burger favorite has been selective about its expansion: aside from Texas and California, it also has restaurants in Arizona, Utah and Nevada.
As for Irvings Thursday debut, if a line forms like it did for several of the other In-N-Out openings, look for the branch to cut that ribbon earlier than the restaurant's normal 10:30 a.m. opening time.

Alex Sink Named to Jumpstart, DCCC's Signature Program for Top Tier Candidates
Businesswoman Alex Sink, the former chief financial officer for the state of Florida, has been added to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's signature program for top-tier candidates, Chairman Steve Israel announced today. Sink's elevation to the Jumpstart program comes amid a major surge in momentum – particularly in candidate recruiting – in the wake of the disastrous Republican government shutdown.
The DCCC launched the first-ever Jumpstart program in early 2013 to provide financial, communications, operational, and strategic support to top recruits. In 2014, the DCCC will launch its vanguard Red-to-Blue program for top pick-up opportunities. The National Republican Congressional Committee has already named 20 Republican Members to their incumbent protection program.
"In the first few days since she launched her campaign, Alex Sink is again demonstrating what the people of Florida know – she is results-oriented, and her approach to solving problems would help get Washington focused on the right priorities, like creating good jobs," said DCCC Chairman Steve Israel. "Independent voters are fleeing the Republican Congress – and problem-solving candidates like Alex Sink are giving Americans the chance to elect representatives who will bring people together and focus on improving lives for middle class families."
Sink joins 19 Jumpstart candidates who are already laying the groundwork for Democratic success in the following districts:
- Farmer Michael Eggman (CA-10)
- Trailblazing Central Valley Native Amanda Renteria (CA-21)
- Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar (CA-31)
- Former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff (CO-06)
- Attorney Gwen Graham (FL-02)
- Former State Senator Staci Appel (IA-03)
- Former Judge Ann Callis (IL-13)
- Former General and Sheriff Jerry Cannon (MI-01)
- Former State Representative Pam Byrnes (MI-07)
- Former Senator Baucus State Director John Lewis (MT-AL)
- Omaha City Councilman Pete Festersen (NE-02)
- Attorney Roxanne Lara (NM-02)
- Businesswoman Erin Bilbray (NV-03)
- Councilman Domenic M. Recchia, Jr. (NY-11)
- Investor Sean Eldridge (NY-19)
- County Legislator Martha Robertson (NY-23)
- Former State Legislator Jennifer Garrison (OH-06)
- Former Army Ranger Kevin Strouse (PA-08)
- Retired Navy Commander Suzanne Patrick (VA-02)
Chairman Israel has assembled an aggressive Recruitment Committee chaired by Congresswoman Donna Edwards and supported by Congressman Jared Polis, who is the National Chair for Candidate Services. Chairman Israel outlined the new Jumpstart Program in a memo to the Democratic Caucus earlier this year.

BEIJING, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- China and Netherlands on Monday vowed to further promote relations and enhance cooperation in trade, tourism, culture and modern agriculture.
The pledge came out of a meeting between top political advisor Jia Qinglin and Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal, who is visiting China from Oct. 8 to 9.
Bilateral relations have witnessed significant development since their establishment 40 years ago and are facing new opportunities in the future, said Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country's top political advisory body.
He said China is ready to further enhance political mutual trust with the Netherlands, take each other's core interests and major concerns into consideration, expand comprehensive trade relations and conduct closer cooperation in tourism, education and culture.
Jia said the two sides should prioritize the development of people-to-people and cultural exchanges and push China-Netherlands relations to a new high.
Rosenthal said the establishment of relations 40 years ago laid an important foundation for their development today.
He reaffirmed Netherlands' adherence to the one-China policy and respect for China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The minister also called on the two countries to strengthen cooperation in trade, energy, logistics and modern agriculture so as to promote bilateral relations.
The two sides also exchanged views on the current situation in Europe and overall China-Europe relations.
Jia said strengthening the comprehensive strategic relationship between China and Europe is important for world peace and the stable growth of the global economy.
He said China and Europe should make joint efforts to promote the sound and stable development of their relations.
Rosenthal, who is on his first official China visit since taking office, was invited by his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi.

Although, as I have said before, ill-informed commentators have said that nothing new came out of Tony Blair's return to the Inquiry last month, he did inadvertently admit that from as early as March 2002 his policy was to seek regime change.
One of the tricky things with Blair's statements is that when he is denying that he was surreptitiously seeking regime change, he uses one set of arguments, while when he is justifying regime change he says something different. In the first case he tries to conceal the duplicity of his approach by describing his policy of regime change as dealing with Saddam's wmd.
But in his session last month, he did, as I observed here, admit that the March 2002 Options Paper, provided a binary choice between containment and regime change and that he "came down" in favour of the latter.
When challenged about his failure to show the Options Paper to the Cabinet, which had a major discussion about Iraq on 7 March 2002, he said this:
Well, the options paper really said two things. It said you can either go for containment. We can't guarantee that that's successful. He will probably continue to develop his programmes and be a threat, but nonetheless that is one option. The other option is regime change.
Putting aside for a moment, the fact that the Options Paper talked about "toughening containment", which was effectively the policy that Blair publicly espoused, in this quote Blair gives a pretty accurate account of the paper and firmly identifies regime change as part of a binary choice.
Later in the same session, Blair returned to the subject of the Options Paper:
That options paper actually gives quite a good summary. I don't suppose there is any problem in reading it. It says: "Tougher containment" — this is the sort of summary, if you like "would not reintegrate Iraq into the international community as it offers little prospect of removing Saddam. He will continue with his WMD programmes, destabilising the Arab and Islamic world and impoverishing its people, but there is to greater threat now that he will use WMD than there's been in recent years so continuing containment is an option."
So that was the two sides of the argument, and then which side you came down on really depended on whether you thought post-September 11th we had to be change makers or whether we could still be managers. Up to September 11th we had been managing this issue. After September 11th we decided we had to confront and change…
Blair could not have made it much clearer: he rejected containment, even a tougher version, in favour of "the other option" of regime change. To return to the way the Options Paper defined toughened containment – the policy Blair rejected – it said this:
P5 and Security Council unity would facilitate a specific demand that Iraq re-admit the UN inspectors. Our aim would be to tell Saddam to admit inspectors or face the risk of military action.
the return of UN weapons inspectors would allow greater scrutiny of Iraqi programmes and of Iraqi forces in general. If they found significant evidence of WMD, were expelled or, in face of an ultimatum, not re-admitted in the first place, then this could provide legal justification for large-scale military action
This is pretty well how Blair described his policy at the time and – for the most part – how he describes his policy today. And yet he clearly told the Inquiry last month that he rejected this policy. His approach of having his cake and eating it by simultaneously denying and justifying a policy of regime change has well and truly backfired.
And here is what Tom McKane, whose Cabinet Office section produced the Options Paper and was responsible for co-ordinating the paper, told the Inquiry last month:
MR TOM McKANE: Well, I would repeat what I have just said, that formally from my position in the Cabinet Office there wasn't a change. The policy of containment wasn't abandoned until the point when the government decided that it would make — that it would prepare for military intervention and —
SIR RODERIC LYNE: When did the government take that decision?
MR TOM McKANE: I think that too is a difficult question to answer in a precise way, because there was certainly right through to the point where I left the Cabinet Office — there were still a number of points that would have had to have been resolved before any decision would have been taken to —
SIR RODERIC LYNE: You left the Cabinet Office in?
MR TOM McKANE: The beginning of September 2002.
Different witnesses have given different accounts of whether or not the government was still pursuing a policy of containment in the run-up to the war but nearly all have fiercely denied that the policy was one of regime change. Last month Blair undercut them all.

Residents say Johnson City bar is too loud
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Residents of the Tanglewood subdivision in Johnson City said they're losing sleep and property value because of some neighboring businesses.
A nearby strip mall that is home to a number of businesses, including the local bar 'Electric Cowboy,' is quiet during the day. But when the nightlife gears up so does the noise.
"It sounds like real loud thunder, and you can feel it in the ground," said Tanglewood property owner Frances Ponder.
Johnson City Commissioner Jane Myron told News 5 she's gotten calls from residents in the Tanglewood neighborhood for nearly nine years about loud music coming from the Electric Cowboy. "Last Wednesday night, I got a call and the people had gone outside on their patio. I could hear it over the phone. Now that's too loud," Myron said.
At a neighborhood meeting Tuesday night, residents and property owners told city officials they can also hear beer bottles clanging into dumpsters.
They worry even selling their homes won't be an option. "Definitely our property is losing value," said Ponder. "The house two houses up from mind sold $100,000 less than the prior [sale]."
City officials explained the strip mall was signed under much laxer zoning codes from the 1980s, so finding an enforcement solution now might be tough.
One of the managers of the Electric Cowboy said they are trying to be a good neighbor. "Every bit of information that I've received in there, I'm definitely taking to corporate to make sure that we can see the things that we can change positively," said Tracy Costello, the day manager of the Electric Cowboy.
One of the things these residents are asking for is for a wall to be built that will clearly separate the neighborhood from the strip mall.
Johnson City Police Chief Mark Sirois, who acted as the moderator of the meeting, said the next step is more conversations with the businesses in that area, as well a follow-up meeting in the coming weeks.

Cassie, I'm glad you couldn't trade in our group, either, despite the site's struggling to make improvements. Aw, I empathize with you on signing over the title of the van--so many memories attached to cars we've used for many years with the kids. I forgot--do you already have a new car for yourself or are you getting a new one soon? Super Monday report! Yep, you've got this! I have a Facebook account but rarely use it--mostly if friends tell me they posted pictures. Thanks for sharing your similar feelings about spouses reading our posts. It meant a lot to me that you understand my feelings--I view it the same as snooping in someone's diary or opening their personal mail from friends without permission. I made my apology to DH and then calmly explained to him again that I don't like his reading my posts, but THIS time added that it's a huge embarrassment to me that he reads my weight loss stats and private thoughts to my "weight loss buddies" even though my obesity is staring him right in the face on a daily basis. He said in an understanding voice, "OK" like he has so many times in the past. I'll just have to quit minimizing my post compositions and save them on NotePad on my hard drive to a place where he won't have easy access to them. He doesn't know how to do anything on the hard drive--just on the Internet. I'll also take my username and password off the description below my FitDay desktop icon and when I want him to see a shared cartoon, I'll show it to him from the cartoon's original website address, not from our motivational group. I can be in control of this situation if I'm diligent enough.
Darlene, kudos for starting fresh yesterday after bombing this weekend. If you had time to read the weekend posts, you'll see you were not alone. I sabotaged myself, too and my scale confirmed it, but I'm with you on the fresh start. I'm up a pound and a half from 2/1, so I'm going to finally acknowledge it in my signature. BUT WE CAN DO THIS!
Boo, welcome back! Being refocused and feeling more positive is a headstart on losing those 20 lbs. again and keeping it off. I have at least that much to lose all over again. Yeah, pop in as much as you can and we'll be here for you. Kudos on the wonderful goals you have! You have a fitastic week, too.
Jenn, my heart goes out to you on the sinus pressure. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Best wishes on your nice goals, too.
Can you eat something before you go to the Valentine's concert and tote a protein bar or something in your purse that you could eat there to keep you away from the sweets being served?
Frenchhen, you don't have to put green stuff in your smoothie. Some people whir yogurt, milk, and fruit (like banana, blueberries, strawberries) until smooth like a milkshake. Adding a little protein powder is also nice. Your garden sounds great! I LOVE the taste of kale either raw or cooked. The flavor is somewhat strong--some say it's an acquired taste.
Hope, OMG!!!!! MAJOR KUDOS on the 128!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!! I got the exercise cartoon from my mindset makeover's Facebook page.
I got an empathetic kick out of how you worded your goals this week. I'll bet you WILL lose those last three lbs. by April 26! What a nice birthday gift to yourself!
LOL on our menus again today: both with eggs and sausage for breakfast and fish for dinner. Kudos on your 30 years of marriage. "Life sentence without parole." Hee Hee Hee

"We've totally made it over. It doesn't look anything like the driver license that we've had for the past eight years."
DPS's Tela Mange says there will be some things that will be obvious, like your photo on the left side rather than on the right.
"The state capitol figures very prominently, there's the Austin skyline at the top and it looks a lot different than the one we have right now. And then there are other things that are not at all obvious but will be obvious to people who are trained to know whether that's a fake."
In fact the main purpose of the license is to make it difficult to counterfeit, tamper with or photo swap.
Mange says there is another new feature on the new Texas driver license.
"If you have decided that you'd like to be an organ donor, that is printed on your driver license."
There's is nothing wrong with the driver license you have now, the new ones will be issued for first time drivers or when you renew or replace your current one.

The main items of news for this update are (a) that we have a provisional date for the birth (by C-section) of BabyMouse and (b) that I definitely have gestational diabetes (GD).
The first item is good news; I'm glad we have a date to 'work towards', although it is a bit later than I hoped it would be, as it's nearer to 38 than 37 weeks. However, I'm going to discuss my concerns about that when we next see the consultant. We saw her yesterday, but it was one of those moments when I thought – 'perhaps I should mention this' and then didn't, and then regretted not doing so! Having the baby slightly nearer to 38 weeks is better in terms of the gestational diabetes, but possibly not so good in terms of the obstetric cholestasis (OC). As I've already had steroids to help BM's lungs develop I'm wondering if we should try for a slightly earlier date, but I didn't say this in our meeting yesterday. I suppose I assumed the consultant would have mentioned it if necessary, but then I realised that no one had written about the steroids in my London hospital notes (it's in the ones from the local hospital) so she may have forgotten about it – the perils of being looked after in two different places! On which point, the consultant said me being treated at two hospitals is getting a bit too confusing (which is true) so it would be better if I also have my liver function tests done in London, then everything will be on the same notes, which sounds like a good plan to me! I will mention about the steroids at our next appointment.
Item (b) is obviously not so good. I could really have done without having GD on top of everything else! I will have to adjust my diet and monitor my blood sugar levels at regular intervals throughout the day, but we don't know exactly what this will entail until we go to the GD clinic next Tuesday. I've already started to alter my diet a bit by not eating cakes, sweets, chocolate, etc., and reducing the proportion of carbohydrates to other foodstuffs. I would just like to say that I don't think we usually eat particularly unhealthily – GD is caused by changes in hormones during pregnancy rather than a 'bad' diet, although you are more likely to develop GD if you're overweight (which I'm not). Apparently it also quite often accompanies OC.
In other news, we had another growth scan yesterday and BM has grown – hooray! Although she is still small, she is at least all on the charts now, so that was reassuring. We have another scan booked for 2 weeks' time.
Despite having a date for the birth, I'm still feeling rather rubbish and anxious about everything. Just under five weeks seems like a long time, even though it's really not. I just want BM to be alright, and I don't feel like she's safe at the moment – I feel like I'm a sort of broken incubator – and the worst thing is that there's not very much I can do about it, especially in terms of the OC. Mr C is doing lots of organising (he has made many lists!) and moving stuff around in the house, and we're going shopping for baby things with my mum on Friday, but I don't feel like doing any of this. I want BM to be here and be well, and then I can think about everything else – which is obviously not very practical because we need some things ready before she arrives! Anyway, I'm going shopping on Friday so that's that. It doesn't help that I'm not a fan of shopping at the best of times! Could be an interesting day.
My midwife was a bit worried about my emotional state, so she put me in touch with a midwife who specialises in mental health and I went to see her on Monday, which was helpful. It was good to express some of my feelings (inarticulately as ever) and she had some good practical suggestions about how to cope. Mainly, it was just nice to be able to tell someone other than poor Mr C (and you, poor readers) about how I'm feeling. I must say that all the medical professionals (bar two who I don't have to see again) that I've dealt with since I've been pregnant have been lovely, competent and helpful, and have made us (yet again) mightily thankful for the NHS.

wikiHow to Skin Polish
Two Parts:Preparing Your Skin for PolishPolishing Your SkinCommunity Q&A
Skin polishing generally refers to any form of exfoliation which removes the uppermost layer of skin, but can specifically refer to "microdermabrasion," a cosmetic procedure intended to diminish aging and blemishes to the skin. Advocates of skin polishing claim that the process can brightens the tone of the skin, improve overall texture, and even medicate some chronic skin conditions. The following method is meant to reproduce results from a professional skin polishing treatment. As with all medical treatment, please consult a dermatologist before beginning this or any other skin polishing regimen.[1]
Part 1
Preparing Your Skin for Polish
1Hydrate your body from the inside out. Improve the overall quality of your skin and health by drinking an adequate amount of water. The amount can vary from day to day, depending on activities, but an adequate amount will always be enough to prevent thirst and keep your urine as clear as possible, without creating chronic urinary urgency.[2]
2Eat foods that can improve your skin. Omega- 3 and 6, antioxidants, and Vitamins A, C, and E all have benefits for your skin. In order to get the optimum benefit from your vitamins, avoid vitamin tablets and ingest foods that contain the vitamins needs for healthy skin.[3] Enjoy the following foods within moderation to reap the benefits of nutritional skin care:
- Vitamin E: olive oil, spinach, asparagus, vegetable oils and seeds
- Vitamin A: dark greens, eggs, cantaloupe, low fat dairy and carrots
- Vitamin C: citrus, kiwi fruit, broccoli, brussel sprouts and papaya
- Antioxidants: berries, red fruits, beets, peppers, green tea and beans
- Omega- 3 and 6: nuts, oily fish (i.e. sardines) and flax seeds[4]
3Get the right tools. Skin polishing requires tools that provide different levels of abrasion for different skin types on the body. Additionally, exfoliation is a gradual process and different degrees of abrasion are required for different phases of the process (think of it like sanding a piece of wood, gradually using finer and finer grit paper). Below is a suggested shopping list for skin polishing:
- A pumice stone.
- An exfoliating washcloth
- A large-looped washcloth
- A fine looped washcloth
- One piece of flannel (about the size of a washcloth)
- A pair of cotton gloves
- A pair of silk gloves
- A sable fur mitt (optional)
4Moisturize daily. In order to keep your skin healthy and also diminish signs of wear or aging, it is important to moisturize each day immediately following your shower or bath. This has the added benefit of keeping your skin extra smooth and in optimal condition for polishing. Be sure to use a body oil or lotion daily that is dermatologist recommended. If you would prefer something less processed, try some of the options below:
- Olive oil: If you are concerned about the smell, make sure to get the "light" or non-extra virgin varieties (they will have a more gold as opposed to green appearance).
- Coconut oil: With a smell similar to suntan oil and a light, easily absorbed texture, many people find coconut oil an ideal natural moisturizer. If solid, add a tablespoon or two to a small dish and put in the microwave for 30 second to melt. Be sure to check the temp before applying to skin.
- Shea Butter: A mainstay of West African skin care since Ancient Egypt, Shea butter is easily absorbed by the skin with properties that sooth and heal cracking and sun-damage.
5Go soap-free. Soap is alkaline in nature and, especially for sensitive skin, can cause irritation, flaking, and cracking of the skin upon daily use. Non-soap cleansers are synthetically formulated and have a pH closer to that of your natural skin. Non-soap cleansers can be more expensive than soap; however, they dry skin less, making them more gentle for daily use.[5]
Part 2
Polishing Your Skin
1Soften dry and dead skin. In order to get the most benefit from your skin polishing, skin should be moisturized. This will help loosen any dead or flaking skin and make it easier to remove. In order to accomplish this, do the following:
- Apply a body oil (olive oil, coconut oil, or a commercial body oil is fine) to the areas being exfoliated
- Bundle up in a pair of old sweats and stay warm for 20-40 minutes before proceeding or take a hot bath, being careful not to rub the oil off your skin.
2Lather up. In the bath or shower, apply soap-free cleanser to the exfoliating cloth cloth with a mild soap. Use gentle, even pressure in a circular motion. Think about your skin as a piece of wood that you are sanding to smoothness. Work quickly but thoroughly, making sure not to irritate or discolor skin with too much abrasion.[6]
3Tackle the tough stuff. Use the pumice stone on exceptionally rough areas such as elbows, knees, and heels. This may require a little extra effort, as the skin in this areas can be thick and tough. Remember, however, that while these areas are less sensitive than body or facial skin, they can still be damaged by too much pressure or rubbing. Always remind yourself that removing deep calluses takes time, so don't push your polish too far.
4Revisit the primary treatment area for more exfoliation. Lather the large looped cloth with non-soap cleanser and, apply to the skin with even pressure, moving your hand in circular motions, pausing briefly on any areas that catch on dry skin. Work fairly quickly so as not to over exfoliate and damage the skin. Repeat this exfoliating process with the fine looped cloth, making sure not to over work your skin with pressure or friction.
5Rinse and dry. Rinse with clean water to ensure that there is no residual cleanser, body oil, dead skin, or grit (from the pumice) left on the skin surface. Then, with a clean, dry towel, gently pat the surface of the skin dry, making sure not to rub. Imagine your skin is like the surface of a tomato and you don't want to bruise or damage it.
6Buff with flannel. Although originally wool, modern flannel is typically a soft, cotton cloth that has a thicker texture than other woven cotton. Using little or no pressure on the skin, buff in rapid circles. As you repeat your skin polishing ritual, you will feel the cloth 'catching' on rough areas, 'gliding ' over areas that are sufficiently smoothed, and know where to anticipate rough areas that need more attention in future polishings.
7Buff with cotton. You'll want to get the thinnest possible cotton gloves for this (dermatological cotton gloves work best). Put on the cotton gloves and gently buff all areas in a circular motion. Since cotton is soft and won't hurt your skin, you can spend extra time on areas that still feel rough and remember to work these places a little more the next time.
8Add finishing polish. Silk gloves are sold at photography shops for handling lenses or at outdoor hobby shops as a liner for heavier gloves. They are, however, the perfect thinness and texture for polishing skin and will help remove any lingering roughness. Use the silk gloves for the final polishing step, using the same motions as when buffing. Because the silk is incredibly finely woven, you can spend more time polishing your skin in this step. Additionally, the silk will catch on any remaining dry skin, letting you know where to exfoliate more during future polishings.
9Pamper your self with sable. If you want to add a final level of polish to your skin, you can also use a sable mitt. Try looking for an old coat with a sable collar at a thrift store to make your own. Simply remove the fur from the collar of the coat and fashion into a shape that can fit across the palm of your hand. Sable adds a small amount of friction to skin while also sweeping away any remaining particles of dead skin that might be lingering.
10Moisturize freshly polished skin. Using a very light moisturizer, rub a small quantity on the surface of treated skin. Rub in gentle, circular motions, just as you did with the exfoliating cloths, working the moisturizer into your freshly polished skin. Less moisturizer will be required on freshly polished skin, so be sure not to overdo it.
- If any areas of the skin still feel rough or uneven, come back with a more intensive moisturizer and spot apply.
- If any areas of the skin feel irritated, avoid applying moisturizer and, instead, spot apply an antibiotic cream with an analgesic, making sure to avoid polishing the area until it feels completely healed.
Community Q&A
How do I know whether my skin type is sensitive or normal skin?wikiHow ContributorIf you usually get rashes, are pale skinned, or burn easily, then you may be sensitive. If you've got rashes or breakouts from any products in the past then you might also have sensitive skin.
- You can use a body or face scrub in place of the exfoliating cloth. Simply use as directed on the packaging and continue to the next step.
- For first-time and novice polishers, it is recommended that you work quickly and err on the side of less pressure and vigor as opposed to more. In time, you'll learn what's the right amount of pressure and friction without causing painful abrasions.
- Use the pumice only on the soles of your feet.
- Do not polish daily, as this can irritate skin. Instead, repeat the polishing regimen no more than 1-2 times per week.
- Do not use this technique if you are using cortisteroid creams or taking ANY steroid drug.
- See your doctor about any unusual rash or blemish that does not heal promptly.
- Do not use this technique on unhealthy or damaged skin. This especially includes acne, rosacea, or eczema that creates inflammation or sores.

On an afternoon the Buc defense delivered its best performance of the season Sunday, the unit would ultimately endure its biggest big blow of the year: the loss of defensive end and 2011 first-round pick Adrian Clayborn for the season with a right knee injury. Head coach Greg Schiano confirmed the news on Monday, a day after his defense kept the clamps on Dallas quarterback Tony Romo in a 16-10 loss to the Cowboys. Adrian is going to have surgery. Hes done for the season, Schiano said. Its probably going to be a couple of weeks before it happens. Its certainly an unfortunate for him and for the team. I dont know exactly what it is. Its one of those three-letter deals. Clayborn was hurt during the fourth quarter, but the extent of his injury wasnt known until Monday in Tampa: at least one torn ligament, which means the possibility of both his ACL and MCL. Its hard to minimize the severity of the development for a defensive line that has now lost both its top two picks from last year to injury. Second-round pick Daquan Bowers suffered a torn Achilles tendon in May during an offseason workout, though he has been making excellent progress and could possibly return to action in a month. In the meantime, the Bucs find themselves with a major hole to fill on what had been a much-improved defensive line this season. Clayborn led the team in sacks as a rookie with 7.5 and anchored the pass rush from the right side, teaming with left end Michael Bennett and tackles Gerald McCoy and Roy Miller. Other than a defense-wide meltdown in the fourth quarter of a 41-34 loss to the Giants, the line has performed above expectations. It helped contain dangerously mobile Carolina quarterback Cam Newton in the season opener and hold the Panthers to 10 total rushing yards in a 16-10 victory. And the line was a big reason Romo struggled to get anything going Sunday, getting sacked four times and fumbling away the ball twice. Schiano put on his best game face in talking about the loss of Clayborn, but clearly this one threw the 1-2 Bucs for an unexpected loss of their own heading into another challenging contest Sunday with the Washington Redskins and multi-threat rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III coming to town. I look around the league and a lot of people have issues, he said. The team were playing this week has similar issues (with defensive end Adam Carriker and linebacker Brian Orakpo out of for the season with injuries). Look, its part of life in the NFL. Its a bad part and unfortunately its peoples lives youre talking about, the people who get injured. But its something you know going in and you have plans in place. And thats what we have to do. Its especially frustrating for the Bucs since McCoy, their No. 1 pick in 2010, missed much of last year and a substantial part of his rookie season due to torn biceps, and ex-Buc tackle Brian Price, a second-rounder in 2010, was plagued by injuries his first two seasons. Schiano isnt certain yet what he and his staff will do to fill the void. But many options are on the table. Well look at everything, he said. Well look internally. Well look if theres anything outside thats better. Well look at it schematically. Maybe well have to play some more three-down fronts and do some different things to stretch the personnel a little bit. Nothings out of the realm. Thats what you do. You adapt. And thats what well do. The three-down formations could use linebacker Dekoda Watson or backup defensive ends George Johnson and Daniel Teo-Nesheim. Asked if left end Bennett might switch to the right side, Schiano responded, Anythings fair game right now. I dont know where were going to end up. Were spending a lot of time talking about it. Well make what we think is the best decision. While Schiano sorts through the possibilities, hes also got his hands full trying to figure out ways to get his offense moving forward. In two of the three games to date, the unit has had trouble mounting any kind of consistent attack, with the exception being Week Two against the Giants. The offense had a dismal day in the Big D, netting only 166 total yards against a smothering Cowboys defense. Rookie tailback Doug Martin had trouble finding running room, managing only 53 yards on 19 carries. But more concerning was the lackluster play of fourth-year quarterback Josh Freeman (10 for 28 for 110 yards, a one-yard touchdown pass and an interception). The Bucs stayed heavily with their ground game in the second half, even while trailing. That raised the question: Is Schiano completely comfortable with Freeman in high-stakes passing situations, or does he prefer to play it safe with the run? The coach, in his rookie NFL season, expressed confidence in his quarterback. I have a great trust level with him, he said. Theres not a doubt in my mind that hes going to do great this year and beyond. Do I think Josh is capable of doing more stuff down the field? I do. They did a good job of taking some of the down-the-field stuff away, stuff that we hit against the Giants. We didnt do it quite as well this week. We threw some but we didnt win the battle. Schiano insisted multiple factors contributed to the ineffective offense. When you have as tough a day as we did on offense, theres not one reason, he said. Theres not one person. Theres not one call. Theres just a bunch of things. But having said all that, when you go back and watch the tape, its like what normally is the case: Youre never as good as you think you were and youre never as bad as you think you were. Were a couple of small things away from popping some of those runs. The corner falls down one time on a double move but we dont have time to get it to (the receiver) because we made a mistake. Really, we just never got in synch. And after two solid offensive outings, why does that happen in the third one? Thats obviously what were trying to peel away and figure out so it doesnt happen again. What does Schiano think about his young squad after three weeks? Its a team that plays very hard, he said. We practice hard and we play hard. We have to practice more focused and were going to play more focused. And were not going to lose that effort or how hard we play, regardless of the situation. Theyre going to play until they tell us to get out of there. If you have that, you have something very special. Now we need to clean it up. We need to make the mistakes go away and we need to play with the same kind of effort. And well be fine. Its just going to be harder in light of the latest casualty.

text: For my first Mother's Day (the first Mother's Day when I had a child out there in the world--my very first Mother's Day I was seven months pregnant), when L. was just 10 months old, my mom sent me a white t-shirt with "Mom" printed on the front. This was an unlikely gift, actually, for both the giver and the recipient (I'm not a t-shirt person), but she'd gotten the T-shirt for free and I was, after all, a "Mom" finally. I still have the shirt. I keep it folded in my drawer and it's moved with me three times now. I'm as attached to it as I would be to any thoughtful gift from someone I love--that shirt, a little corny and over-sized, is special to me because I connect it so closely with that first Mother's Day of mine. Mother's Day for me, that first year when L. was 10 months old and beginning to walk, his rounded limbs all earnest energy and his cheeks puffed out in concentration at everything he did, was more than just a celebration of my role as a mother. It was, I think, a chance for me to move emotionally closer to the mothering women in my own life: to my mother, and to my grandmother living across the Atlantic, so many miles away. In those early days of motherhood I think I was still uncertain what the word "Mom" really meant. In those days it was about caring for a small child; loving him, tending to him, and putting his own needs before my own. It was about watching him begin to walk, toddling away from the grasp of my hands. He took his first substantial steps that day, Mother's Day 2001, and I watched him lurch out into the golden sunlight splashing across the grass, my heart about to break from pride and love. Mother's Day 2004--my first as a mother of two--found me cradling my four-month-old daughter in my arms, at a local Greek restaurant. I felt so much more a "mom" then, tired still from sleepless nights, still carrying the pregnancy weight around my body like a heavy blanket, bowed over almost with nagging worry about T.'s upcoming surgery in July. L. was wired and rambunctious that day, I remember, and T. fussy and inconsolable. I wondered, as we sat under the arbor at the restaurant, all the other mothers apparently having calm, relaxed luncheons with their well-behaved offspring, if this was what being a mom meant--was it really all about the worry and fatigue, crowding out the joy of the day? Of course it wasn't--and isn't--but motherhood, I found out, has those two sides: the joy and the worry, the pride and the pangs of nostalgia, the struggles and the easy days, when it all seems so effortless. Mother's Day 2010 finds me more rested than I was six years ago, more forgiving of myself, more at ease with who Scott and I are as parents, and who I am as a mother. But it has also found me less patient in some ways, as my work-related responsibilities have increased and as I realize more and more that there just aren't those hours in the day that I need--those hours that I greedily want to spend with both my children, who are now at school all day. I sometimes blink and feel I'm straddling some great divide, that my children's childhoods are on one side and yet I can almost reach out and touch who they will become, one day, as they grow older and more independent. They are little bright boats, their moorings stretched taut, almost to snapping point. I dream about their baby hoods, yet at the same time my heart is full over what they can do today, and what I imagine they might do tomorrow. Sometimes I lie awake and think about how unbearably painful motherhood is; yet it's unbearably beautiful, too. Being a mother is about bearing that pain--the pain of both things, existing side-by-side together, curled around each other. And finally, in thinking about Mother's Day in more universal terms, I think I like what I heard a few years ago, on my way home from work one day, when I was listening to the local NPR jazz station. The theme for that hour of the show yesterday was--in honor of Sunday, of course--Mother's Day and motherly love. The host talked about his own love for his mother and his wife, but he made a stirring and, I thought, unusual point. He said that we should celebrate all women today, regardless of whether they are mothers or not; that Mother's Day is not just for mothers, but for all women--women who are, after all, the mothers of so much that is right in the world. Mother's Day shouldn't just be a day for brunches and breakfasts-in-bed, but a time to think instead of the far-reaching importance of the women to our worlds (and in our worlds)--individual and universal--whether they are mothers themselves or not. Happy Mother's Day!

The Lockwood Gift Machine. It's free in the Lockwood Store. Also, some of Lockwood's personal spaces have the Gift Machine baked in. The Lockwood Gift Machine has free and purchasable items.
And we do have other personal spaces that have gift panels that allow us to give gifts to friends. Then we have personal spaces wirh games and purchasable games that allow visitors to win prizes.

Re: where do all the gay gamers hang out in Home?
Actually, this thread isn't about segregation. It's about inclusion.
Segregation means keeping one group apart from another.
No one is saying that here at all. Not keeping apart, just trying to find others of like life, not to the exclusion of those with different lives.
Just because people would like to find others with the same lifestyle, taste and interest doesn't mean it's segregating at all.
It's like saying people who love fishing and trying to find other people who like fishing is segregation against people who don't like to fish. The 2 groups differ, but I bet they both sit down to eat said fish! LOL

We had arranged through Mila for a pickup from the airport which made getting to the apartment after a long travel day much easier. The apartment was clean and comfortable but fairly basic. The location was great with easy access to all the sights of Old Town. Also, great restaurants in the area. We had one of our best meals during our two-week trip at Alforno Fofacceria right there in the neighborhood. If you are a light sleeper, you might want to use ear plugs since the church bells do toll every fifteen minutes throughout the night and early morning. I had a hard time adjusting to the time change so the bells bothered me at night but no one else in my family had a problem with them.
Great Place! Mila was very helpful, even assisted with our luggage. 10 min walk from city center, many shops and restaurants close by, and a pay by day fitness center within 2 min walk. All around perfect stay.
The apartment was very nice and more than enough for a couple of nights but the staff in the reception was very rude.
We had a great stay in a 2 bed-room apartment with bath and a small kitchen. Super calm location 10 min. walk from the hectically city center. Lots of restaurants, bars and shops just 2 mins. from the door, yet is a totally quiet street.
Simple, cosy and very nice staff.
We had a very nice stay 5 people, with kids of the age of 7, 11 and 14.
See you later.
Sehr schöne Wohnung. Sauber und sehr gut gelegen. Nettes Personal. Immer hilfsbereit. Wir würden dort wieder buchen.
L'accueil a été très sympathique, le logement pour trois personnes convenable, ustensiles de cuisine un peu succincts. Logement bien situé, près de la station de métro Florenc et de plusieurs stations de bus. Le quartier est calme. Je conseille pour quelques jours ce logement
Die Wohnung war super eingerichtet und sehr zentral gelegen. Freundlicher Empfang und alles sehr sauber. Wir kommen gern wieder.
Es war wie immer sehr schön,die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral. Wenn wir wieder nach Prag reisen,dann in diese Unterkunft !

As we blogged about yesterday, the April monthly special sold out faster than any special we've ever done. We are still a bit stunned, but also happy to know that our customers thought those metallic drops were as special as we did!
Of course the month has barely started, so we've added another set of new products to the special. We recently picked up a nice lot of drop-shaped Tahitian pearls with a strong silver body color, some of which exhibit a soft hint bubble gum pink overtone. They are B-E-A-U-tiful! We've accessorized these pearls with our brand new 'Darling' findings set with genuine, fine quality diamonds.
We have a stunning new 'Darling' pendant for UNDER $100, a mini-collection Tahitian drop for under $62, and a pair of matching Tahitian earrings to round out the collection.
This time around, we are quite confident that we will have enough of these new pieces to make it through the month!
