Iconic industrial and new wave trailblazer Gary Numan has announced plans to release a new album October 24. On the self-released LP, titled Dead Son Rising, Numan teamed with keyboardist Ade Fenton as co-writer and producer. Numan is known to be a master of redeveloping his sound, as evidenced by his early punk days in the '70s, his new wave '80s hit "Cars" and later on his move into more industrial sounds that inspired the likes of Trent Reznor and Marilyn Mason. His latest is expected to have a slightly different, more exploratory vibe.
Though the inspiration behind Dead Son Rising was a collection of demos from some of Numan's previous efforts, don't expect a rehashing of old ideas. Numan explains, in a press release, that "the original ideas behind these songs are now barely visible" and that "the album has grown into another animal, something more experimental and fluid."
And if that isn't clear, here is what you might expect from the new album: a tracklist ranging from instrumentals to more ghostly sounds, and even to some cinematic, soundtrack material that Numan and Fenton have been focusing on. Themes like troubled relationships will be explored, as well as Numan's signature science-fiction elements emerging from a fantasy story he has been creating.
The title track—an ominous, heavy tune worthy of Numan's signature look of jet-black hair and matching eyeliner—is streaming on his website and can be found below. Time to get a little dark and deep.
Gary Numan – Dead Sun Rising by theQuietus
Numan is preparing a U.K. tour to support the album, as he continues to work on his forthcoming 2012 release, Splinter. The tour will take place in September and December. Supporting him onstage will be Fenton and David Brooks on keyboards, Richard Beasley on drums, Steve Harris on guitar and Tim Muddiman on bass. After celebrating his 50th birthday during last year's 30th anniversary tour of The Pleasure Principle, Numan still has plenty to offer. Bring on the Numanoids.

A hero awarded the Military Medal after being recalled from honeymoon to fight terrorists is selling it to take his wife on a golden wedding trip.
Ronnie Bradley, 66, was on holiday with bride Maureen in 1967 when the army ordered him to Aden, Yemen, as part of a deadly operation to round up insurgents in the British-ruled territory.
He offered himself as a target to draw the Arab fighters into an ambush.
The Queen presented the corporal with the Military Medal for exceptional bravery and a major general praised the way he led his men without a thought for his own safety.
But now Ronnie is auctioning his medal, along with others awarded throughout his career, to take Maureen on a tour of Australia and New Zealand to celebrate 50 years of marriage.
He said: "I have discussed it with my family and they are only too pleased that I'm using the money for an adventure of a lifetime. The cost of keeping the medal secure is a constant worry."
Steve Marsdin, of auctioneers Chris Clubley, said: "It is the most valuable collectable we have auctioned in 25 years.
"We have valued it at £10,000 to £15,000 – but it could exceed that."
Ronnie served in the Prince of Wales' Own Regiment of Yorkshire, rising through the ranks before retiring as a captain in 1999.
His medal citation describes how "under grenade attack he continued to chase a terrorist and captured him single-handed".
Ronnie said at his home in Stamford Bridge, East Yorks: "I was very proud to have been presented with the Military Medal but I can tell you I was more nervous about that day at Buckingham Palace than I ever was in the conflict."

How does the film Sankofa address the theme becoming African Americans (compare Sankofa to "Becoming African Americans" in the The Struggle for Freedom, by Carson and Nash)?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The theme of becoming African Americans is evoked in Sankofa through the transportation of a Ghanaian fashion model, Mona, to a science fiction transportation to an earlier period in which she finds herself part of a group of Africans about to be transported by ship from the Castle where the film starts out to the American South to be sold as a slave. Her consciousness is that of her real self, a 20th century model, so her realization of becoming an African America will be through the sensibilities of a contemporary woman of privilege, not an unwesternized ethnic native African.

Windows 7 sounds great can't wait for it to be released in final form. I currently use XP Pro. If I want to try Windows 7 Beta, can I install it and continue to use XP also so when the beta license expires I still have XP running? Or do I have to install Vista and then install Windows 7 Beta? If I have to do the latter, I guess I will have to wait because there is no way I am going to use Vista.

After winning the NFC North Division Title and seemingly getting back on track as a legitimate Super Bowl title contender in the second-half of the 2012 NFL regular season, the Green Bay Packers had punched their ticket to the NFL playoffs and were able to get the best of the division rival Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Wild Card round.
Once the Packers advanced to the divisional round to take on the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park, the consensus was that Green Bay would give Jim Harbaugh's squad a run for their money on their home field with a potent mix of offense and defense.
Unfortunately, the Packers didn't stand much of a chance against second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick with the up-and-coming gunslinger torching the 49ers' secondary for an NFL record 181 rushing yards and four total touchdowns.
Now that the 2012 campaign is officially over for the Packers, Aaron Rodgers was thought to get set to head to Honolulu, Hawaii for the Pro Bowl. Apparently, the superstar quarterback has other ideas.
According to ESPNMilwaukee's Jason Wilde via Twitter, Rodgers will miss the Pro Bowl:
#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers says he will NOT play in the #ProBowl because of multiple injuries.
— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) January 15, 2013
Rodgers had another very efficient season for the Packers throwing for 4,295 yards, 39 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. Rodgers also added 259 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Eli Manning of the New York Giants will replace Rodgers on the NFC Pro Bowl roster. Manning had a decent season in the Giants' Super Bowl title defense with 3,948 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, but failed to lead New York back into the NFL playoffs with the up-and-coming Washington Redskins winning the NFC East division title with the regular-season finale against the Dallas Cowboys.
The Giants failed to live up to expectations after winning the second Super Bowl title in five years, but Manning still managed to earn a Pro Bowl selection with Rodgers bowing out due to injuries to his knee, calf and ankle.

It's wooing season in the international telecommunications world and a couple of New Zealand wannabe undersea fibre-optic cable ventures are in the thick of the action.
State-owned Kordia and Pacific Fibre, whose backers include IT entrepreneur Rod Drury, Trade Me millionaire Sam Morgan and Warehouse founder Stephen Tindall, are each trying to sign up customers for proposed new cables designed to break the stranglehold that Telecom-dominated Southern Cross has on internet bandwidth between New Zealand and the rest of the world.
Kordia and Pacific Fibre are banking on a new certainty of the modern age: that not only are death and taxes inevitable, but so is increasing demand for internet bandwidth.
While they might be convinced of that, before any banker is going to advance them the hundreds of millions of dollars needed to lay their cables, they need firm customer commitments to prove the venture's viability.
Mark Rushworth, a Pacific Fibre director, has been bending the ear of potential customers first at SubOptic, a three-yearly conference of the submarine telecommunications industry held in mid-May in Yokohama, then at International Telecoms Week (ITW), an annual event attended by many of the same people in Washington.
ITW was a chance to condense months of meetings with prospective customers around the world into three days of back-to-back sales pitches, Rushworth says. What's more, contacts made at SubOptic could be reminded a fortnight later that Pacific Fibre was, indeed, a serious new cable contender.
In a matter of weeks he might be able to let on whether all the meeting and greeting has paid off.
"We've gone round the majority of the major carriers in New Zealand and Australia and we have a number of letters of intent out there. I can't announce any of them yet because I haven't converted them through to signing but we're very close."
Pacific Fibre's plan to lay a cable from Sydney to California, via New Zealand, was first aired in March.
Kordia, for its part, has been talking about running optical fibre under the Tasman from Auckland to Sydney for more than two years. Perhaps it's just as well that its plans haven't gone ahead as quickly as intended.
Like Pacific Fibre, Kordia is still trying to pin down long-term customers. Chief executive Geoff Hunt says negotiations are going on, and it will take either one big deal or a number of smaller ones to get the project, called OptiKor, under way.
"We have a number of customers who we think we're reasonably close with but it's a big decision for companies to make."
In the meantime, Kordia and Pacific Fibre are flat out flirting with each other. Both outfits accept that it makes no sense to lay two new cables between Australia and New Zealand, since the issue they're both wanting to overcome is not a capacity shortage, but the high cost of Southern Cross bandwidth.
"We continue to talk to Pacific Fibre about how the two projects might fit together in some way," says Hunt. "One possibility would be that OptiKor could form the Sydney-Auckland portion of the Sydney-Auckland-California project."
Rushworth doesn't rule that out. "I hope that over time we can work something out with Kordia so that we don't end up over-building on the Tasman route, because that would be a mistake."
Beyond Australia, Kordia has a memorandum of understanding with another cable owner, Pipe Networks, to carry traffic to Guam, from where there are various fibre-optic links to the US and Asia.
Pacific Fibre's pitch to prospective customers is that it will carve milliseconds off the journey between Australia, New Zealand and the US by avoiding Hawaii, where Southern Cross makes a landing. If that sounds like a trivial advantage, Rushworth reckons it's meaningful in the world of high-speed financial transactions.
For ordinary web surfers, Hunt says, more fibre should mean an end to the peak-hour internet slowdown caused by international bandwidth rationing.
"There is going to be an ongoing explosion of bandwidth consumption and the constraint is the high cost of international bandwidth out of New Zealand. Our project, apart from the fact that it looks like a pretty good business, is to significantly lower the cost of international bandwidth to New Zealanders."
Hunt expects work to begin within a year, and the cable laying itself to take just a few months, at a cost of up to $180 million. Rushworth says Pacific Fibre is aiming to have its network lit up - jargon for in operation - in 2013, at a cost of about US$500 million ($738 million).
First, though, a-wooing they must go.

Where I stayed
The cruise lasts about one and half hours each direction and makes six stops on both the European and Asian sides. It ends up in a small fishing village, Anadolu Kavagi, where it stops for 3 hours or so before the return journey
We passed ocean liners docked in Istanbul, luxury hotels, sultans' summer palaces and massive bridges. One of the bridges once enjoyed the record for the longest suspension span in the world but lost that honour falling to 15th longest at 1090 metres.
All the good we did spending about 7 hours resting our tired feet, was soon lost when we decided to check out Istanbul's New District. The new district is a large pedestrian only shopping street that is about two kilometres in length and has about a million people walking down the street. It is full of modern stores and, yes, Starbucks, and yes, I did stop for one. The main street has many more streets or alleyways running off it that are full of restaurants, bars and shops
We first left the cruise boat and walked over a bridge to try and find a funicular that runs up the hill to the new district. It apparently was the second underground passenger train (after the London Tube) was built. It had no roof and used oil lanterns for lights, apparently it was not an immediate success! It started out moving goods up the hill but eventually people being people saw a way to avoid the exercise and soon adopted the method of travel. The other end of the street there is another funicular but we couldn't find it. We couldn't get decent directions so we gave up and walked our now less than rested feet all the way back down the street to the funicular we knew. Down we went to catch the tram back to the hotels and to continue my beer research.

Thanks for visiting my blog and for the comments. You have a great blog here and a beautiful family. My big girl has two years left of high school and then on to A&M (hopefully).
Where in So Cal do you live? I grew up in San Diego.

By the end of the sixth inning, Barry Bonds had had enough.
The Marlins' hitting coach, watching his team struggle through a 1-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon, left his regular spot near the top step of the dugout for some words with home-plate umpire Cory Blaser.
Bonds wanted to make known his disagreement and displeasure with Blaser's called third strike — a pitch so far off the plate it ran parallel with the inside chalk of the opposite batters' box — on Chris Johnson, who was batting with two on and two out in a tight game.
It was one of the best chances of the day for the Marlins, and Blaser's call robbed them of a chance to do something...

Barbie does Broadway: now for a real doll
Page Tools
Barbie-like ... Jessica Simpson in a scene from the film The Dukes
of Hazzard.

Wanted - Statuesque blonde with adventuresome fashion sense, royal manners and good-fairy relationships. Princess experience preferred. Must look good in pink.
Mattel has already made billions off its Barbie doll, but the toy maker wants more: a live Barbie. The company said this week that it is to undertake an open casting call for a long-legged fashionista to star in Barbie Live in Fairytopia!
The musical, which will play in 80 North American cities beginning next northern spring, is based on Mattel's successful Fairytopia direct-to-video feature starring an animated Barbie.
"She cut her teeth in movies, now she's ready to tackle Broadway," hooted Chris Byrne, a New York-based toy consultant.
He said the tour was both a "brilliant idea" and "a licence to print money".
That's very much what Mattel wants to hear about its plans to revive its top-selling doll, whose sales slipped 15 per cent in the first quarter.
The Fairytopia line was one of the strongest performers in the substantial Barbie stable of brands. With 60 weeks of shows and 80 performances for 1500 to 3000 ticket-holders, Mattel hopes to hitch the brand to those fairy wings.
"It's sort of 'I can be in the Barbie world with them, won't that be great?' " said Richard Dickson, of Mattel Brands consumer products.
But casting the star of the show poses a challenge. Mr Dickson said the company would be seeking an actress with athletic capabilities, singing and dancing skills.
Nailing down someone with Barbie's distinctive proportions, however, could be a little more difficult to come by.
"You want tall, very leggy - loooong legs," said Mercedes Penney, an independent casting director based in Burbank, California.
"She has an innocence in her face, but she's a little bit naughty. She's friendlier, but not a come-on image. You don't want that with Barbie, even though she's voluptuous. "Like Nicole Kidman with a little more warmth, or someone like Demi Moore when she was around 18, 19. She's got to be sweet and very pretty."

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - The Northern Arizona women's basketball wraps up their four-game road stretch this week with a pair of games in California. The Lumberjacks will play UC Santa Barbara on Thursday before a game in Los Angeles versus Loyola Marymount on Saturday in the team's first of two non-conference trips to The Golden State.
NAU hopes to carry its momentum gained from its first victory of the season last week at Utah Valley. Behind a career-high 30 points from senior Amanda Frost and double-doubles by junior Erikka Banks and freshman Priscilla Brooks, the Lumberjacks rallied from a halftime deficit to pick up a 80-66 victory to improve to 1-2 this season.
Series History: The Lumberjacks will face UCSB for just the third time in school history and first since the 1990-91 season. The Gauchos defeated the Lumberjacks, 77-59, back in 1990 when the teams last met up on the hardwood at a tournament in San Francisco. NAU earned a 80-58 victory in the first ever matchup in 1985 in Santa Barbara as the two teams are knotted up at 1-1 in the all-time series.
NAU will then play Loyola Marymount for the first time since the 2007-08 season, when the Lumberjacks defeated the Lions, 71-59, in Flagstaff. NAU has won seven of the eight all-time meetings between the two teams. Loyola Marymount's lone win in the series came during the 2000-01 campaign in which it won 66-51 on its home court.
Coach Sue Darling Quote for the Week: "We're getting better and better. The beauty of December is we'll have game after game, while in November we only had three games so there were a lot of practices. Now we're going to be quickly turning things around. We've been putting one good practice on top of another good practice, so can we now put one good game on top of another game? It starts this week against UCSB and LMU."
About UC Santa Barbara (4-3, 0-0 Big West): UC Santa Barbara bounced back from a 71-67 loss at home to San Diego State last Saturday and defeated Pepperdine, 77-69, on Tuesday. The win was the Gauchos' third in their last four games and they also have victories over Occidental, Santa Clara and Hampton this season.
Senior Nicole Nesbit leads the team with 18.6 points per and has scored in double-figures every game this season. She led the Gauchos with 26 points against Pepperdine, her second consecutive 20-point game of the season. Seniors Destini Mason (15.9 points) and Melissa Zorning (12.6 points) also average double-digit scoring and Mason leads the team with 6.7 rebounds per game.
About Loyola Marymount (1-6, 0-0 West Coast): Loyola Marymount has dropped four consecutive games leading into the week which begins on Thursday at Colorado State before it returns home to host the Lumberjacks on Saturday. The Lions hosted their Thanksgiving Classic and dropped a 63-60 decision to UC Irvine and a 49-47 game to Montana. LMU's only victory over New Mexico State on Nov. 16.
Senior Hazel Ramirez has led the Lions thus far this season as she currently paces the team in points, assists and steals. Ramirez is averaging 12.6 points per game and also has recorded 31 assists and 18 steals while playing a team-high 31.6 minutes per game. Senior Mackenzie Kerins leads Loyola Marymount with 7.7 rebounds per game and junior Emily Ben-Jumbo is right behind with 6.6 boards per contest.
Two Players of the Week, No Big Deal: Both Frost and Banks earned Big Sky Player of the Week awards this week after stellar performances. Frost earned College Sports Madness honors after putting up a game and career-high 30 points and knocking down four three pointers. Banks was honored by the Big Sky office following her 19 point, 19 rebound performance in which she equaled the sixth-best single game rebounding total in school history. Frost once again leads the Big Sky in scoring and Banks is the conference leader in rebounds for the fourth week in a row.
Brit's Legit: Freshman Brittani Lusain has made her presence felt to begin her career. She made her first career start last week at Utah Valley and did not disappoint, posting an all-around stat line of 12 points, seven rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks. What will not show in the box score was her defensive effort on the Wolverines' Katie Kuklok. Kuklok entered the game averaging a WAC-best 21.7 points per game, but was held to eight points due to Lusain's defense on her before she fouled out. Through three games, Lusain is averaging 8.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. She is fourth on the team in scoring, second in rebounding and leads the team in assists, steals and is tied for tops in blocks.

Systems Modeling and Simulation
Designing a plant is a huge undertaking. A plant consists of a multitude of systems and sub-systems from various disciplines, such as mechanical, piping, instrumentation, electrical, steel structure and civil engineering, all with interconnected functions that must be carefully orchestrated. The primary goal of designing a good system is achieving the required level of production while maximizing worker safety and minimizing environmental impact. Within its life cycle, a plant must periodically undergo full or partial shutdown and start-up to accommodate inspection, maintenance and revamp operations, as well as dismantling. Being able to track and foresee the impact of system and sub-system on one another during these operations is very important to ensure worker safety and minimum downtime.
As part of the Dassault Systèmes (DS)' comprehensive Plant Life Cycle Management solutions, the Systems Modeling and Simulation solutionhelps engineers formalize, share and manage a unified, cross-discipline systems development process. At the heart of the solution is an RFLP (Requirement, Functional, Logical and Physical) infrastructure, which allows technical requirements to be captured, with a complete traceability established across the system definition, functional, logical, physical, and simulation aspects.
The Systems Modeling and Simulation solution enables all development efforts to be centralized on a unified plant or asset definition so that various disciplines, from mechanical, electrical cad, hydraulic, piping, to air-conditioning, are brought together on a common platform that fosters collaboration and innovation. This brings many advantages such as end-to-end process optimization, cross-discipline system modeling, simulation and analysis, which includes dysfunctional analysis. The holistic approach to systems engineering integrating all engineering disciplines helps increase the physical asset quality and productivity while optimizing for costs and safety.
DS' solution for Plant Systems Modeling and Simulation includes:
- Requirement management
- Functional analysis
- Logical design
- System modeling
- System simulation & optimization
- Physical system architecture definition
- Dysfunctional and reliability analysis and simulation

text: Looking for solutions for fixing a porcelain tile front entry way. Tiles are coming loose and grout is seeping up around tiles. Water is leaking into basement below. Not sure of what needs to be done besides taking out all of the tile and laying down new tile. But I know something needs to be done to stop the leaking. Not sure what product(s) we can use to stop water. Putting some type of epoxy down over top of concrete and then laying tile? I know beneath the tile is concrete. Does anyone have some solutions or know of some good products. Live in W. PA so weather can be problematic sometimes. House is also 1930's. This is our front entry way and it has to be visually pleasing to a point. Appreciate any help out there!!! Can post a pic if it will help.


text: As we previously reported, there's a compilation due out titled Complex, which has been put together to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Lex Records. The song that's going to grab the most attention is the collaboration between MF DOOM and the Radiohead pair Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, which has just leaked. According to At Ease (via CoS) the song samples the song "Proven Lands" from Greenwood's There Will Be Blood score, which is a neat way to avoid having to pay out a generous sum of money in royalties. A track from Complex is going to be released every week leading up to its release as a picture disc in January. [Pitchfork]

Investing in wine has become a popular pastime for many people, as well as a serious investment opportunity for those looking to diversify their portfolio.
There are two key ways that you can invest in wine; the first is by buying bottles of if and holding on to it with a view to reselling it at a profit in the future, or you can invest in a wine fund. Although there are several wine funds on the market, the intrigue and interest of actually buying bottles and storing it for re-sale is an interesting prospect for some speculators. As a result, we've put together this Beginners Guide to Investing in Wine to help you get started if you're one of those people.
Here are our Top Tips:
Go in for the long run. Investment in wine, unless you're looking to trade seriously highly priced wines, is not a fast process. Generally speaking, you're looking at buying a wine and storing it until such time as its value starts to climb, which is likely to take at least 10 years.
Make sure your funds are in place. Investing in wine is not a short term activity and will tie up cash for some time before decent returns are made. Therefore make sure that you have the necessary funds in place before you start and that you will not need to make a quick sale in a short period of time as that will usually give you a loss. You will also need to keep track of your costs and funds so as well as using some wine tracking software also make sure that you put some sensible bookkeeping arrangements in place.
Practice good financial management. Make sure that those funds you have invested are looked after properly so that you can keep a track of them. You won't necessarily need to employ an accountant but, if you do, use a good business accountants to help you record your financial transactions. Also if you end up employing anyone in your venture run your payroll using something like Xero payroll. Your level of transactions are unlikely to be huge but make sure you keep on top of them.
Know what makes an investment wine. Just like antiques and any other commodity, the secret to buying investment wine lies in knowing what will age well and what will be in demand when the time comes to sell it. While the ageing question is normally relatively easy to answer, the demand issue is a bit of a crystal ball point, which involves some chance, but don't be afraid to seek out trends or source advice.
Look for heritage and pedigree. If you're not someone who feels confident sniffing out the next big thing on the wine scene, then in most instances, opting for the likes of a Bordeaux or a Burgundy, both of which already have a track record for quality, performance and demand is likely to be a good strategy.
Be prepared to buy in quantity. In normal circumstances, if you're investing in wine for a return, you should look to buy at least 3 bottles and 6 is better. Many of the prestige wines such as the finest Bordeaux and the Burgundy Grand Crus are sold in minimum case size of 6. If you're looking at anything top of the range, this will cost you and being ready for this is helpful.
Keep an audit/authenticity trail. With wine, there's always the fear of fakes, so you should do all you can to make sure you have an audit trail of where your wine came from and what its story is. If you're plumping for French wines, it's well worth having any documentation translated and stamped by an official translator.
Looking out for flagship wines as a next step safe investment. If you fancy being a little bit speculative but not going too far off the beaten track, you should look out for wineries that have made their mark outside of the classic wine regions. Often described as flagship wines, they will give you some security.
Get your storage right. Wine favours specific conditions and if you're planning to store wine for a period of 10 years or so, it's essential that you get your storage right. If you're serious about wine investment, it's probably worth investing in a part share of an insured, temperature controlled facility to make sure your wine is in the best possible conditions.

27 Reviews For Creamy Coconut Cleanser
Just love this cleanser. Feels really fresh and skin feels amazing after use. Will definitely use again.
Loving this cleanser so light and dreamy texture. Glides onto skin and shall sinks in well. It smells fresh and I love it does the job very well. Would highly recommend.
It cleans perfectly my makeup, isn't oily, and feels just refreshing on the skin. Love the product and am glad I ordered it twice - this is exactly what I was looking for.
I have very sensitive skin and most other products make my skin react because they are full of chemicals. I love this cleanser as it uses only natural ingredients and my skin does not react at all. I was sceptical about how well it would remove my make up but it removes it really well and my skin feels so soft after.
Nice and creamy, also ok on my very sensitive eczema skin. I like that you can take it off with a cotton wool pad. Does have quite a strong smell, but didn't sting my neck so very gentle all round. And I really like the smell but be warned if you don't like any fragrance smell at all!
I'm in my early forties and have dry, sensitive skin. The Creamy Coconut cleanser gave me no problems at all, and I used it right from the start with great confidence - no break-outs and it isn't at all drying. However, I think I could do with some extra moisturisation and I'm going to try the silk touch cleanser next.
The cleanser has a wonderful aroma, with a lovely consistency. It's not too thick or runny and as a bonus it doesn't make my eyes itch, which most cleansers do, even other organic ones. It also removes all signs of makeup. I would recommend this cleanser.
I find this a tad burny and would recommend the silk touch cleanser instead. This one seems to be more astringent, possibly because of the lemon.
[Odylique Reply]
Hi Cady. Sorry you had this reaction. It is unlikely to be the lemon as it is used in such small quantities. It could be down to environmental factors, as things such as changes in the weather can have a real effect on the skin. Please feel free to get in touch if you need some advice!
Your creamy coconut cleanser is a staple in my beauty routine. It removes make up perfectly (including your mascara) and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and stripped which is good because I have mature 50+ skin. The bottle lasts well and I Iove the subtle scent. It feels gentle and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or oily; just comfortable. Another fabulous product!
Love this cleanser! Gets my make up off easily and is gentle on my sensitive skin. I even use it to remove my eye make up and it works great without stinging my eyes. So no need for separate eye make remover. Love it!
Thoroughly cleansed face even removes mascara. Skin feels revitalised and smooth. Great for my mild rosacea.
Having tried so many ' sensitive cleansers' on my skin, Odylique creamy coconut cleanser is the only one that does not cause my face to come up in a scaly dry rash.
I cannot recommend it highly enough if you have any kind of skin sensitivity.
This lovely product cleans the skin without drying it out or stinging, and removes make-up thoroughly. I find that even water dries my skin, but I rinse this product off with no skin tightness whatever. Wonderful. Karen, when coming to the end of the product, if the bottle is tipped upside down and the pump removed, the product does slide down to the spout and can be tapped out. There's hardly any wastage, so it's very economical. Compared to many other products I've tried (eye-watering costly, some of them), Odylique wins hands down and comes very highly recommended by the Ethical Consumer, amongst other trusted sites.
This is a good cleanser and I enjoy using it HOWEVER:
a) it is too thick and it is impossible to get all the cleanser out of the bottle;
b) I was disappointed that you introduced the pump action bottle as this is a waste of resources and makes it even harder to remove the thick cleanser at the bottom. Even after removing the pump and standing it upside down for a couple of days, I couldn't get it out!!
This is a relatively expensive product so I expect to be able to remove it easily from the bottle. All it would take is for it to be thinned a little. I'm sure you wouldn't want your customers wasting precious organic ingredients, thinking it has all gone when there is still a considerable amount left!
[Odylique Reply]: Hi Karen, thanks for your feedback. We'll definitely look at the pump on our next packaging review. Also while not a perfect solution, you can unscrew the pump when the bottle is low and gently pat out. With best wishes
Got is as a free gift and really liked it. Beautifully light and does the cleansing job very effectively. Yet another one Odylique product on a wish list!
A lovely creamy cleanser packed with caring ingredients for sensitive skin. I am not normally a fan off these types of cleansers that can be wiped off, as I have always been a wash off cleanser girl but wanted to try something more gentle. This was lovely and can also be washed off too but, washing off a cleansing milk that are generally renowned for cotton pad removal just doesn't sit right with me. Although I have now finished my bottle and have just ordered the lemon wash for more oily skin, as although I suffer from very dehydrated skin and thought this creamy cleanser would be great for it. It was but, I also suffer from hormonal blemishes and wanted to see how the wash best fits my skin. Normally when I explain my skin type to people, I am always pointed in the direction to products for oilier skin- hence why I have always preferred wash off cleansers due to the stigma that oily skin needs to be stripped and although now I know different, this has been my routine since my teens (probably why my skin is very confused and stressed!). I wouldn't hesitate to repurchase, and if the wash doesn't suit, I will almost certainly buy the creamy cleanser again!
This is my all time favourite cleanser. Delivers every cleanse. Always gentle, never stings (if you have mascara to wipe off) Very moisturising too. Not heavy or overpowering. I love it.
This cleanser has to be the BEST my skin has had the pleasure of using! I like to massage this creamy cleanser into my skin and just leave it there for 5 mins ,its effortless and it dissolves away all the grime and is a super eye makeup remover! It always leaves my skin soft and refreshed I LOVE it and can't say enough good things about it...try it you'll love it too :)
Gentle, soothing cleanser that really delivers. I never have mascara left on when I use it! Unlike plenty of other cleansers I've used. I like to use it with a damp cotton cleansing cloth, and my skin always feels super soft and clean after using. Really love it. Great for sensitive skin, and feels lovely as you rub it in. Lovely fragrance as well. Really did a good job cleaning my skin up, I rarely get spots or breakouts when I'm using it. Really recommend it.
Very light-textured and non-greasy, removes make up quickly and thoroughly, leaves skin smooth and relaxed.
I use this in my morning shower and at night to take my make-up off. It smells divine and never aggravates my very sensitive skin.
This was the first product I tried in the range and I loved it, creamy and soft to massage into skin, I tend to use this in the evenings as it is superb at removing all makeup, no need to cleanse eyes separately this will do the job. With no stinging or itching when used to remove eyeliner and mascara, I like a muslin cloth or face flannel in warm water to remove all the cleanser. Skin feels clean and comfortable no tightness or irritation. Superb product for mature and sensitive skin like mine.
A lovely light cleanser, which I find works best, when a small amount is gently massaged onto the face with my hands. I then remove makeup with cotton pads soaked in warm water.
I recently tested and reviewed the Odylique coconut cleanser and so far, it is the only product that has helped my mild rosacea. I absolutely love it.
This is a lovely cleanser that is light and non-greasy. Its so gentle that I've never had a problem using it around my eyes. It leaves my skin feeling clean and revitalised.
I was first introduced to the brand with this product which I got as a sample from a beauty box.
I must say when it comes to cleansers I'm very picky, because they irritate my skin and eyes a lot. And the other problem is that I wear a lot of makeup and only very hard-core cleansers work for me.
This 'baby' here delivers all - cleansing of all makeup and impurities and super soft touch to the skin + no irritations!
It really is stunning and I highly recommend it to absolutely anyone - man and woman :)
I have combination skin so I think this cream cleanser would be more suitable for winter. It doesn't give that deeply cleansed feeling like some cleansers do, it's more of a 'gentle' cleanser which I would use in the mornings rather than use it to take make-up off in the evening. It has a mild fragrance.
Odylique Creamy Coconut Cleanser: Aqua, Cocos nucifera oil*, Olea europaea fruit oil*, Rosa centifolia flower water*, Glycerine**, Cetearyl alcohol, Cetearyl glucoside, Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract*, Citrus limon peel oil*, Eucalyptus globulus leaf oil*, Salvia sclarea oil*, Lactic acid, Sodium anisate, Sodium levulinate, Sodium lauroyl lactylate, Xanthan gum, limonene* (in the lemon oil)
Plain English: Coconut oil*, Extra virgin olive oil*, Rose flower water*, Non-palm plant glycerine**, Rosemary extract*, Essential oils of Clary sage*, Eucalyptus* and Lemon*, Plant origin moisturisers & emulsifiers

Press Reviews
Love It magazine recommended the Odylique Creamy Coconut Cleanser for normal to dry or mature skin.

Just Imagine a New Bookstore
Bill Harris's wife, Nancy, had been running her Resale Bliss shop out of the building, but moved to Old US-12 in March. She says she's trying the location in the strip mall for six months to see if it attracts customers. All proceeds from the sale of Resale Bliss's used clothing, household goods, books, toys, and collectibles--after she pays the lease--benefit her Chelsea nonprofit, Hearts Community Service.
Middle Bead is returning to Middle Street, taking over the old Cranesbill second floor. In the midst of the recession, Marc Rafferty moved her jewelry and bead business into her home a year and a half ago, but now she's back, upstairs from Just Imagine. "At home and on my website I was selling more of my finished product than the beads, and I really missed seeing other people create," she says. Rafferty says she offers a huge volume and variety of beads, including ones made from Michigan glass. Rafferty plans to offer classes and also has a table open for customers to drop in and work on their creations.
Just Imagine, 108 E. Middle. 562-2040. Tues.-Wed. 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Thurs. 11 a.m.-8 p.m. (till 9 p.m. during Sounds & Sights), Fri.-Sat. 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Sun. noon-3 p.m. Closed Mon.

UPDATE: (5/18/12) Kristin Golia appeared on "LIVE! With Kelly" this morning. Scroll down to watch a video clip of her appearance. Voting for the "LIVE! With Kelly" Top Teacher of the Year Award is now open; voting closes on Monday, May 21 at 3:00 p.m.
RWU Alumna Kristin Travis Golia '05, '07 is a finalist for the "LIVE! With Kelly" Top Teacher of the Year Award. Golia will appear on the popular morning talk show on Friday, May 18, at 9:00 a.m. E.S.T. Voting will open on the show's website at 10:00 a.m. following the live broadcast on ABC.
Golia, a third grade teacher at the Osborn Hill School in Fairfield, Conn., was nominated for the Top Teacher of the Year award by Jessica Gerber, the mother of one of Golia's students. Gerber's son, Teddy, was in Golia's class when he was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. In a letter to the show, Gerber explained that Golia went above and beyond the call of duty, not only sending work home for Teddy but also making visits to the Gerber home to tutor him and help him pass the third grade despite 100 absences due to his cancer treatment and hospitalization. Gerber wrote:
Kristin Golia is both a wonderful teacher and an amazing person. She was my son Teddy's 3rd grade teacher. Two months into the school year, Teddy was, out of the blue, diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive type of cancer. While his life, and our family's life, was turned upside down, one person who stepped in and became a beacon of strength and normalcy was Kristin. Because of his deteriorating physical condition, two life-threatening operations and his chemotherapy and radiation regimen, Teddy missed 100 days of school, but he still was able to graduate from 3rd grade thanks to Kristin. She volunteered to come to our house and tutor him whenever he was able. She sent home fun activities and books. She visited him in the hospital. She made videotaped greetings from Teddy's classmates and sent them to us. She was calm, caring, thoughtful and strong, and even though she was incredibly upset to see Teddy suffer, she never let him see it, and instead greeted him with a smile every day she saw him.
Teddy lost his cancer battle in August 2010. His sister started the third grade two weeks later – Golia was her teacher. She has continued to support the Gerber family as well as the St. Baldrick's Foundation for pediatric cancer research, an organization that in 2012 named Teddy Gerber an ambassador.
Out of thousands of nominations for the "LIVE! With Kelly" Top Teacher of the Year national search, Golia was voted into the Top 12 of individuals who went above and beyond in their workplace. From there, she was voted into the Top 5.
In addition to the honor of the title of Top Teacher of the Year, the grand prize winner will receive a 2012 Ford Fusion. Click here to learn more and to vote for Kristin Golia in the 2012 "LIVE! With Kelly" Teacher of the Year contest.

She's so tempting and seductive with her enticing smile that I just want to dive right into the picture and eat that wet cunt for hours. She's right there at the top of my Most Desirable Celebs List and I'm thinking that you have the same opinion because you're still here reading my perverted words. So join me in drooling over her pussy in the pics included in this post.

News: Tagged as Pascal Zoghbi
In-use: FF Seria and FF Seria Arabic in Reflections on Islamic Art
The English and Arabic soft cover copies of the Qatar Museums Authority's Reflections on Islamic Art. Each book is also available in a hardbound edition.
Reflections on Islamic Art is a new book edited by Ahdaf Soueif. It is available in two editions: Arabic and English. Both are typeset in FF Seria, one of our multi-script typefaces.
FF Seria started as a Latin script family; Martin Majoor began the design in 1996, and we released it in 2000. Nine years later, we brought FF Seria Arabic onto the market, which Majoor developed together with Pascal Zoghbi, a Dutch-trained type designer based in Lebanon. Their tandem Arabic family was the first Arabic typeface published by FontFont; it grew out of an earlier collaboration named Sada, which had been designed as part of the Khatt Foundation's Typographic Matchmaking project.
Both the Arabic and English editions of Reflections on Islamic Art were designed by Muiz Anwar, a graphic designer based in London – and also a former intern with us at FontFont. Anwar's solution for these books is reduced and thoughtful. Each edition is a mirror of the other. Images play the primary role in the design, often taking up full pages, or half of a spread.
In order for the Arabic and English titles to take up the similar amounts of visual space, the Arabic title employs long kashidas – or lengthening strokes. However, the English title makes use of additional space, too. Had Anwar set the English title in upper and lowercase, its words would have been much shorter; by switching to all caps, letterspacing may be applied. The combination of tracked capitals in English and kashidas in Arabic is an interesting solution.
The books' colour palettes are reduced, drawing more attention to the images themselves when their appear. Text in the Reflections on Islamic Arteditions is always either black-on-white or white-on-black. The tables of contents are handled in a similar way as the books' title pages. Yet the typographic hierarchies are not identical in each edition: for the English-language, author names are set in FF Seria Italic, setting them apart from the main text in FF Seria Regular. Whereas in the Arabic typography there isn't an italic weight in FF Seria Arabic, so the Arabic text has a slightly more even feel.
FF Seria Italic is an upright italic. Its letters have only a minimal slant. This sets it apart from the italics in Majoor's other typeface families; FF Nexus Italic and FF Scala Italic both feature a steeper slope.
Anwar is a type designer and letterer himself, and he contributed more to Reflections on Islamic Art than just its typesetting. Each chapter opens with a very short text in a thin, dotted-line constructed Arabic script that he designed for the purpose. The hard geometry and 'digital' nature of Anwar's lettering in these books contrasts well with the pen-shaped form of FF Seria Arabic.
Regarding his design, Anwar wrote to tell us that he aimed 'to reflect the architecture of the Museum of Islamic Art, an environment with an amazing collection of unique and intricately wrought works of art'. He continued, 'the book is the building and its design is the architecture; its job is to maximize the impression the words and the images make on the viewer/reader. My design is rooted in the grid system traditions evident in the layout of Qur'anic and other Islamic manuscripts. Margins are wide and generous to allow the eye space to appreciate the variant detail of each piece of work. The reduced colour palette for the book is an extension of the architectural aesthetic I.M. Pei established for the MIA building.'
Great care has been taken to ensure that the harmony achieved and evident in an
Arabic spread is reflected with equal beauty in a Latin spread – with particular elements
reflected/reversed to conform to Arabic and Latin reading patterns. The grid layout for internal spreads is based on the proportions of early Arabic manuscripts, which characteristically featured expansive borders. Although these borders were often used for annotation, commentary and illumination, in many cases they were left blank, allowing greater emphasis to be placed on the content centralised on the page.
New release: FF48
BERLIN, GERMANY, April 2009 — FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
FF Dingbats 2.0 OT — The original FF Dingbats font package was designed in 1993 when there was no other symbol font available except Zapf Dingbats. The FF Dingbats package was the first with some 800 symbols and icons from the world of modern communication: faxes, ISDN, disks, keyboards … all absolutely usable. But over the following years times have been changing and quite a lot of pictograms for office communication are no longer needed – no-one uses floppy disks nowadays – or simply changed their appearance, so Johannes Erler and Henning Skibbe started a complete redesign two years ago.
All pictograms have now been revised and adjusted according to the current stylistic vocabulary. Arrow and number fonts have been reworked and extended as well. All symbols have been sorted into clear categories, and the font "Strong Forms" includes the most needed symbols in a bolder version. Besides this, many symbols can be layered and coloured via an easy-to-use layering feature (see FF Dingbats 2.0 info guide PDF). All this makes FF Dingbats 2.0 a state-of-the-art font package again and probably the largest collection of contemporary symbols and icons for office communication.
FF Milo® was started in 2000 with the goal of a compact typeface with very low ascenders and descenders. Because of its compact design FF Milo is a workhorse typeface suitable for magazine and newspaper typography. It has modern bones with a touch of detail for distinction (especially in the italics). The name Milo is from a resilient grain and that's why the designer chose this name for the typeface. He wanted it to be a basic usable font like corn or grain is to any culture.
With the help of Paul van der Laan for kerning, spacing and production, Michael Abbink developed FF Milo Serif as a companion to the Sans, but it is also perfectly suitable as a stand alone typeface or used together with any other sans serif typeface. Like FF Milo, FF Milo Serif is a text face with the utmost legibility, perfect for setting newspapers and magazine copy. Although rooted with historical attributes it is truly a contemporary face. FF Milo Serif comes with SC, TF, OSF, LF as well as a wealth of ligatures. Like the Sans, FF Milo Serif is also a resilient grain!
FF Seria® Arabic, originally called Sada, by designer Pascal Zoghbi, is an Arabic type companion to FF Seria, designed in the nineties by Martin Majoor. The Arabic type family was part of the Typographic Matchmaking 01 project organised by the Khatt Foundation. Echo, which means "Sada" in Arabic, is the repetition of a sound caused by the reflection of sound waves from a surface. Accordingly, Sada/Seria Arabic is the echo of FF Seria. FF Seria Arabic is a young crispy type based on the Arabic Nasekh style. The Regular and Bold are text typefaces, the Light is both display and text type, while the Black is purely a display typeface.read more

I am sure it has been asked before but since I am new here and I have already spend a few hundred dollars here and a few thousands paying some authors to add, improve or fix their files I would like to know what is the approach to authors that will not make an effort to fix their buggy files. I do understand the concept of custom work but cannot accept making money from selling incomplete work unless it is cleary stated that this is work in progress buy at your own risk.
Shouldn't those files be removed if the issues are not fixed in a timely matter?
Good Experience Example: I found a few bugs on VectorFlower's two most popular files and this guy is amazing. He fixed everything within a day. Not that I would expect everyone to be that fast.
Bad Experience Example: Then I get this other special dude that after sending him proper polite requests for about two weeks he then asks me for the files, I send them to him and then he is nowhere to be found. A simple answer like, "it will take me a week" or "I can't figure it out" will be fine, instead of sitting here like an idiot waiting.
The strange thing is that while he will not reply to other similar requests from others, he does reply to say thanks when he gets positive remarks.
So do we request for flashden to have these files removed or do we get a refund?
I see that there is a collective effort from a lot of people here to help and it is great. But to lower the numbers, as well as possible, of members being disgruntled by getting shafted I believe flashden is required to inform the author to take care of his files and if not remove them (The Files that is).
Let me know your thoughts crowd. It might help the anguish. LOL
All files should be functioning correctly as per the file description—that is part of the responsibility of the reviewer who approves the file. If a file is not working as described by the author in the description, yes, you are welcome to contact email@example.com who would be glad to investigate any issues for you.
What I can suggest to all you buyers is to really hard test the files before to buy… the preview file is there for this reason… ask as many question about features and read with attention the description, it's easy to see if a file is not very solid and buggy, look at the author portfolio for skills, look if the file is well made in every detail… all this things can help you understanding if a file is a quality file or not…
A file some times when presented in flashden is not always the same as it would be set on a site. Plenty of features are not visible if they work or not unless the author guarantees they do.
Example: if the file scrolls properly in html or if dropdowns work over html in a particular browser
Also there are plenty of files that are not that well constructed within the fla as far as graphics are concerned. Basically pretty sloppy. So sometimes although the author claims that it is fully customizable what it truly means is that you need to go and clean up a mess before you can get to do any customizing.
So unless you buy it you truly don't know what you are getting, unless your buying from authors like bobcel or vector flower to name a couple who are very good in regards to quality of work and make an effort to keep their files bug free.
I will take the advise and report a file to see if my issue gets resolved.

Costume Information
|I can't take any credit for this costume as I had it made for me. I wanted a properly made blazer so I decided to pay out the extra and get a real talior to do it.
While I'm not really a fan of PoT anymore, Shishido was my second fave character (Akutsu is no# 1 XD) and Hyotei was my fave team. Very comfy to wear.

AEHQ: New FOX Poll Shows DNC Bounce for Obama
The latest FOX News poll shows a post-convention pick-me-up for President Obama, especially among women and Independent voters.
FOX News Radio's Jeff Monosso has the numbers in this Election Update:
Audio clip:
From America's Election Headquarters…
The latest FOX News poll shows President Obama saw a 5%-point bounce among women, and a 12-point bounce among Independents.
Before the Republican Convention, Independents backed Romney by a 10-point margin, and 26% were undecided. Today, the FOX News poll shows Independents go for Obama by five points and 17% are undecided. Overall, with likely voters, President Obama gets a four-point bounce, topping Mitt Romney 48%-43%, but the President's advantage is within the FOX News poll's margin of error.
Jeff Monosso, FOX News Radio.
