When the fabulously wealthy ask us wage slavers to pay attention to humanitarian issues, cognitive dissonance can ensue. What gives some rich guy in expensive sunglasses the right to tell us what to care about? Why doesn't he go back to bathing in his money silo?

That's the standard, facile, knee-jerk reaction to attempts by Bono and other celebrities to save the world. On the other hand, what's so bad about Bono trying to save the world? Shouldn't someone be trying? And doesn't every bit of effort count when it comes to fighting formidable foes like disease, slavery and poverty?
We decided to take a closer look at celebrity advocacy to determine how effective it is, how it works, and whether celebrity involvement can actually hurt a cause in some cases.
Bono's involvement in policy matters apparently began in earnest before the year 2000, when anti-poverty campaigners convinced him to rally behind a project to forgive third world debt at the turn of the millennium. When that project turned out to be somewhat of a success, Bono looked for a way to get more deeply involved in combating poverty and AIDS in Africa.
The perenially bespectacled singer sought out Bobby Shriver of the Kennedy clan — a Santa Monica attorney and politician who had been involved in the music business — for some advice on how to proceed. Ultimately, the pair founded DATA (now the ONE campaign) and Project RED. But before Bono could debate the finer points of African poverty and AIDS, he needed to learn the lingo.
To this end, Shriver asked his uncle Ted Kennedy to find someone inWashington who could inculcate Bono in the ways of Capitol Hill.
Kennedy recommended Washington lobbyist and social work degree holder Tom Sheridan of The Sheridan Group. In 2000, Sheridan started showingthe Irish singer the ropes in Washington.
"Bono came to us eight years ago to say, 'look, I don't know a lotabout Capitol Hill, legislation and politics, but if we don't leveragethe American political system, the American Congress and the executivebranch, we can't get this Africa, poverty, AIDS question answeredsufficiently," Sheridan told us via the phone. Importantly, the firststage process took place without any press fanfare, so that Bono couldget up to speed before speaking out on these issues in public. "Foryears, we walked Bono around Capitol Hill completely undercover, justlearning and talking, and developing a relationship and a dialoguewith folks. If (celebrities) are willing to do those tactical things —
and they're not always glamorous at all — that usually will produce avery effective relationship between celebrity and issue."
According to Sheridan, the reason we are so ready to dismisscelebrity advocates as being full of hot air is that sometimes, theyare. "If an issue group seems to have been used by a celebrity todistract from a celebrity's other problems — say, a drug rehab problemor a marriage problem, or a sex scandal — it will diminish the respectthat other people have for that issue and for that group. It becomessomewhat of a caricature of bad photo opp celebrity activism. That canhave a backlash."
For that very reason, Sheridan turned down several celebrities whoexpressed interest in working on hot-button issues like humantrafficking and modern slavery. "There was no end of requests forpeople to do that work (on the trafficking issue) — all theentertainment folks, all the music folks, they all wanted to do theinterview, they all wanted to do the photo, and we simply said, 'look,
that isn't going to be good for the issue' … they'll show up for a dinner, they'll walk on your red carpet, they may do a concert for you, but it's not a level of depth that gets to advocacy."
However, Sheridan agreed to take Ricky Martin under his wing on the humantrafficking and modern slavery issues, after Martin tracked himdown through Bono (pictured to the right with Al Gore at the 2008 World Economic Forum). Sheridan says he agreed to help Martin because he's shownthe sort of deep commitment to the cause Sheridan says is necessary ifcelebrities want to get involved without looking foolish or evenhurting the cause they're trying to support.
For instance, Martin already had a foundation that spreads warnings inhuman trafficking hot spots that it's not wise to trust people whomake promises regarding employment abroad that too often result in enslavement. "He was involved at that level and certainlywas committed to it, but he's never given testimony and never satbefore Congress. He was really smart to spend two weeks really being agood student. We wrote a very good piece of testimony, and he knew it,
he studied it, he understood why he was saying what he was saying."
If a celebrity is committed to the cause, working with anorganization and advocating only effective programs, Sheridan says,
their influence actually can have a significant impact on the decisions of thepolicymakers on Capitol Hill and their constituents. "(Celebrity advocacy campaigns) can havean enormous effect if they're credible, thoughtful and sincere, and ifthey have a long-standing commitment behind them — and they're proven.
You can see them in a lot of different places, in Bono's work on AIDS
and poverty in Africa, and with Elizabeth Taylor way back in the earlydays of the AIDS epidemic, her commitment and her ability to stepforward and talk about the issue publicly. Or you could look at MichaelJ. Fox — his ability to confront not only Parkinson's Disease but stemcell research and science as an issue. I think they've been enormouslyeffective across the board."
Why does Bonocare about Africa? Why must he insist on being such a meddlesomedo-gooder? Why is he not content to languish in his money silo? Accordingto Sheridan, his motives are based on a humanitarian instinct and awillingness to use his position to help where he sees fit.
"This totally comes from his soul," Sheridan insisted. "This isabout him feeling like being a participant in this planet and in thisworld, and that he had this responsibility to give something back. Andhe's got an opportunity to do it, because of this enormous celebritythat he's been able to achieve. It really comes from a place of deepspirituality and a personal commitment to humanity."
Somehow, after years of study, Bono has apparentlyproved to politicians on Capitol Hill and elsewhere that he knows whathe's talking about. According to Sheridan, the singer's depth of commitmentis "obvious to everybody — even people who don't agree with us, whosay 'Africa is a pit, it's a hole in the ground, you just sink moremoney into it, you can't solve these problems, it'll never work there,
there's corruption.'
"We hear a lot of grousing about that stuff. Somepeople just don't agree with us. But even if they don't agree, I cannotthink of a single member of Congress or the executive branch that wesat down to talk to that didn't walk away, if not agreeing with us,
absolutely respecting him and the way he does his business. They maynot give him what he wants, they may not vote the way we want them tovote every time, but no one has said to us that he doesn't engage in anextraordinarily effective and respectful manner."
We're willing to grant that celebrities like Bono, Michael J. Foxand Elizabeth Taylor have had a positive effect for the issues theychampion. But as someone closely involved with celebrity advocacy — not just with Bono and Ricky Martin but also withGeorge Clooney, Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Julia Ormond —
Sheridan sees one area to which celebrities advocates in generalappear to be blind: the domestic front.
"We work with a group of folks that call themselves socialentrepreneurs — young folks that are doing very avant-garde,
progressive work in domestic communities, on domestic challenges, andnobody's helping them," said Sheridan. "The celebrity community seemsto be almost wholesale absent when it comes to education reform issues,
youth employment, juvenile justice and national service, and these areissues that could desperately use a big lift from artists andcelebrities. There seems to be something that's not bringing thatforward… I do worry that there's a slight imbalance there."
However, after the celebrity world learns the difference between theappearance of advocacy and advocacy itself, perhaps some of them willget more involved on the domestic stage, especially on issues that celebrities themselves have experienced. "What is it about these domestic issues that's not connecting toHollywood celebrity artists?" asked Sheridan. "Why do the artists who might feel some ofthis stuff, or experience some of this stuff — why is there aresistance to involve themselves in these domestic crises? I representthe National Cancer Association," he said. "There's nobody in Americathat hasn't been touched by cancer, and doesn't believe it's a horribledisease and something we should be doing much more to cure. But can youname the national celebrity spokesperson on cancer?"
We couldn't. Come on, celebrities, Bono can't do it all on his own.
If you're willing to put in the time and effort, it appears that there is, in fact, a wayfor you to save the world without making an ass of yourself.

Word on the street among London music insiders is that the average price paid for the digital version of Radiohead's In Rainbows album is between $5-$8. The earlier average was £4 ($8), and then the second number, discussed last Friday, was £2.50 ($5), indicating that the average price per album was higher among those who pre-ordered the album, and that fans who downloaded it later generally paid less.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to report an issue.
In addition, one source said that the majority of fans paid nothing in order to download the album. The average was driven up by a smaller number of fans who paid upwards of $5.

I-43 lanes reopen after crews clear wires downed in crash
All lanes of I-43 at W. Silver Spring Drive have reopened after downed utility wires were removed from the highway.
A semitrailer truck in the southbound lanes clipped a low-hanging wire about 9 a.m. Tuesday and crashed with a motorcycle, said Fran McLaughlin, spokeswoman for the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office.
No injuries were reported in the crash, but the wires over the northbound lanes also were affected, dipping low enough to stop traffic, she said. All lanes of the highway in both directions were closed at one point to allow crews to remove the wires.
The wires belonged to Union Pacific, and it remains unknown if they were power or communication wires, said Brian Manthey, We Energies spokesman.
We Energies dispatched employees to the scene to help clear the wires from the highway.
"We always have to treat it as if they're live," Manthey said.

Dear all,
What does the 'intertial diffusive subrange' mean? Is it a pure buoyancy effect? I have been told it may be caused by very small Prandtl number, but I doubt it.

This is great software for identifying wasted storage, as well as performance and trending of utilization.

We've gone through the demo and aren't having any issues. Can you send me a note with a little more background on the experience you're having?

Systemized Stylin'
Being organized doesn't have to be a chore. With a centralized location and some stylish additions, you can turn plain cupboards into an orderly and elegant wall that does it all.
Before: The Need for Neat Organization
This wall by the garage door needs to serve as a drop zone, a place where the homeowners can drop their keys, purses and shoes when they walk in the door. The house is small, so the homeowners would also like to use the open floor space as a play area for their young son.
Keep It On The Level
Use a level for precision when hanging the upper cabinetry. It's important that the weight of the cupboard is distributed evenly, and anchored into the studs to bear the weight of its contents.
To Each Her Own
One of the best ways to stay organized is to have a designated spot for each family member's important, daily stuff. Mom will always know where her purse is when it has its own place to be tucked into at the end of the day.
In Case I Forget
Having a chalkboard handy offers a perfect spot for those last minute ideas or lists that come to mind as you're on your way out the door. A navy chalkboard bound in copper trim makes a list-making chore aesthetically pleasing and on trend.
Designer Tip: Repurposed Organization
Double your storage space by using a spice shelf as a vertical organizer. It frees up room for wallets underneath while utilizing even more space for notes, pens, etc.
Mail Call
Get a small mail organizer to keep your bills separate but in one, safe place. Even if you can't get to your bills immediately, they're all in a safe place, out of sight.
Keep It Brassy
Brass is not only a classic design accent but it bounces light around a space beautifully. Three small, brass mirrors add a warm touch to the wall in this utility space.
Mini Man Cave
Keep all Dad's things together in a cabinet of his own. He won't forget his glasses, keys or the always important "honey-do" list.
Cord Corral
Binder clips aren't just for paper. They are excellent at keeping cords from getting tangled. With repositionable hooks you can place them anywhere.
Fun Down Under
The lower cabinets hold toys and stuffed animals with fun art on the inside of the doors, creating a playroom that you can close up when baby is done!
Wicker for Whatever
To keep the oddly shaped toys from taking over the space, place them in heavy-duty wicker baskets. Far fewer toys will be underfoot when they've got a stylish spot to return to.
The Art Zone
Cover colorful fine-art wrapping paper in laminate to serve as educational and original art posters for the play zone. Tape them to the inside of the cabinetry and baby will see them everyday.
Just In Case
The cabinet nearest the front door can do double duty for storing the diaper bag, and a basket for back up blankies. Rolling the blankets up makes them easy to grab on the go.
Rolling Out The (Beige) Carpet
Bound carpets are a streamlined way to visually divide a room into two zones and delineate the space for the living room from the entryway and play zone.
Coats, Scarves and Hats. Oh My!
No more excuses for dropping coats or hats on the couch when there are designated hooks for each family member. Use a chalkboard hook that can be written on to add a personal touch and you'll never be confused on what goes where.
Nothing To See Here
More and more households are going "shoeless". Taking off shoes at the door reduces outdoor germs being tracked inside and is safer when you have little ones crawling on the floor. Keep shoes out of the way by being placing them inside a storage bench.
Keep It Together
Instead of letting decor take over, identify a space it can live in and don't let it expand. Designers use trays skillfully to corral accessories, so that they have a pared down, edited appeal.

Pixel expansion is an important parameter for Visual Cryptography Schemes (VCS). However, most papers in the literature are dedicated to reduce pixel expansion on the pixel level, i.e. to reduce the number of subpixels that represent a pixel in the original secret image. It is quite insufficient since the final size of the transparencies of the VCS is affected not only by the number of the subpixels, but also by the size of the subpixels in the transparencies. However, reducing the size of the subpixels in the transparencies results in difficulties of alignment of the transparencies. In this paper, we consider the alignment problem in VCS, and prove that in order to visually recover the original secret image, it is not necessary to align the transparencies precisely. This study is restricted to the case when only one transparency is shifted.

The green marketplace is the marketplace of the future. From Wal-Mart to Toyota to the neighborhood dry cleaner, it seems like every business is going out of its way to tell us how green they are. That could either be a great thing because these businesses are actually using environmentally-friendly practices, or it could be a bad thing because they're just claiming to be green. Regardless of whether it's one or the other, what's certain is that they say they're green because that's what we want to hear.
The green marketplace is the marketplace of the future. From Wal-Mart to Toyota to the neighborhood dry cleaner, it seems like every business is going out of its way to tell us how green they are. That could either be a great thing because these businesses are actually using environmentally-friendly practices, or it could be a bad thing because they're just claiming to be green. Regardless of whether it's one or the other, what's certain is that they say they're green because that's what we want to hear.
This market's existence and growth was hammered home by the recent VerdeXchange Green Marketmakers Conference in Los Angeles. The conference pulled together an impressive list of green-thinking politicians, public officials, private business people and practitioners from around the globe to discuss trends in the environmentally-conscious market and to outline how businesses and communities can actually be as green as they love to say they are.
As it goes with these types of events, there were a lot of people talking about all the great things they're doing, all they great things they're going to be doing, and all the great things they could be doing if the government worked better. Beyond the spin and the sell, a few major themes stuck out to me (based on a select few of the day's many sessions).
Renewable Energy Transmission
It seems like every single person in attendance talked at some point about renewable energy. It's an appropriate subject, and one that seems to dominate the general perception of what it means to be green. An aspect I hadn't really given much thought to previously is transmission. Getting all that renewable power from the plant out into the grid is a pretty crucial element of the whole scheme, and one that has been a major hurdle, possibly even moreso than development of the renewable energy technology itself.
Cities love to tout how much alternative and renewable energy they use, but that amount is severely limited by how easily that power can get to the city. Many within the renewable industry have bemoaned the federal and state permitting process, which they say draws the process out to sometimes excruciating timeframes. They're calling for an update to the permitting process that can get projects moving – and generating energy – faster. But with thousands of miles of transmission lines, the footprint can have a major impact on communities and habitats. Siting power plants and transmission lines seems to be one of the major challenges ahead for the renewables industry.
California's Environmental Leadership
The state has been at the forefront of many environmental movements, and recent legislation within California has offered guidance for the rest of the country. It's notable that on the day of this conference, President Barack Obama reversed a controversial Bush administration decision, and ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider a state plan to set higher emissions standards for automobiles. That law, AB1493, has garnered the support of 12 other states and is widely seen as a major step in expanding the government's influence over fuel efficiency in the U.S.
Another of California's laws that received plenty of lip service was AB32, The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which requires the state to bring greenhouse gas emissions down to 1990 levels by 2020. It's no Kyoto, but many green thinkers are calling it a good step for the country's most populous state.
And the third California crowd-pleaser is the "anti-sprawl" legislation SB375, which requires metropolitan planning organizations to include provisions in planning documents that aim at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The 2008 law basically ties land use decisions to the greenhouse gas emissions they inevitably cause. The end result is, ideally, communities throughout the state that are built to limit the damage their physical form creates.
Water is life, and here in America we are wasting our life. Twisted agricultural subsidies, desert-based explosive development, and the love of the lawn have pushed our needs beyond our means. As many speakers discussed, people and communities are going to have to, firstly, change their lifestyles and, secondly, get way more creative in reusing our most important resource. Much of the focus here was on reusing – like the wastewater reuse projects that have finally surpassed the yuck factor to become viable methods of recharging groundwater supplies. There are both technical opportunities for the green market people to explore and conservation methods cities and regions should consider. Combining the two – creative technologies and creative ideas – will help to spread the idea that protecting water sources means much more than turning off the tap while you brush your teeth.
What was great to see in the attendants of this conference was a broad range of industries and professions. There was also a huge Japanese presence, highlighting the nation's advancements in green technologies. But no matter where they came from the people at this conference were highly passionate and interested. Above all, they were primarily business people. This is not the environmentalist movement of the '70s – or even the '90s, for that matter. These are savvy people who not only see business opportunities, but intrinsically link environmental stewardship with their own success. The hippies grew up and they're showing that the environmental movement is about more than just green in the pipe. It's also about green in the wallet.

Willard Wildlife Management Area (WMA) The primary purposes of the Willard WMA is for wildlife management, wildlife habitat management, and wildlife-dependent recreation. The Willard Wildlife Management Area was originally a part of the Willard State Hospital lands used in its farm operations. Farm operations were discontinued in 1963 and the land was transferred to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for hunting, fishing, and recreational use. This WMA consists of 135 acres of cropland and 23 acres of woodland which borders on Seneca Lake.
Featured Activities
Hunting and Trapping
Willard WMA is located in Wildlife Management Unit 8S. Deer, pheasant, and squirrel are the main wildlife game species on the area. (View hunting seasons and trapping seasons)
Willard WMA is open to fishing; please visit DEC's website for more information about fishing.
Wildlife Viewing
Geese and ducks feed in Willard grain fields and that part of Seneca Lake adjacent to the area. Many other species of wildlife are found on the Willard Wildlife Management Area at frequent intervals. Use both the Wildlife Management Area Mammal Checklist (PDF 453 KB) and Wildlife Management Area Bird Checklist (PDF, 240 KB) as wildlife viewing guides.

Outdoor Safety Tips
NOTE: Ticks are active whenever temperatures are above freezing but especially so in the late spring and early fall. Deer ticks can transmit Lyme and several other diseases. More information on deer ticks and Lyme disease can be obtained from the NYS Department of Health. (Leaves DEC Website) Also, practice Leave No Trace (Leaves DEC website) principles when recreating on state land to enjoy the outdoors responsibly; minimize impact on the natural resources and avoid conflicts.
How We Manage
Like most of the state's Wildlife Management Areas, Willard WMA is managed by DEC's Division of Fish, Wildlife and Marine Resources for wildlife conservation and wildlife-associated recreation (hunting, trapping, wildlife viewing/photography). Funding to maintain and manage this site is provided by the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration or "Pittman-Robertson" Act, which is acquired through excise taxes on sporting arms, ammunition and archery equipment.
Because of its past agricultural history, the crop land is rented to local farmers and income from rentals has been used to develop roads, trails, and parking areas. Other improvements to make this area more productive for fish and wildlife resources are planned for the future. Multiple use of the Willard area for agriculture and recreation has been very successful and will be continued.
Tourism Information for Nearby Attractions, Amenities & Activities
Numerous guide books and maps are available with information on the lands, waters, trails and other recreational facilities in this area. These can be purchased at most outdoor equipment retailers, bookstores, and on-line booksellers.

Joy Is Love's Strength! (2 of 9) by Dennis Marquardt
This content is part of a series.Joy Is Love's Strength! (2 of 9)
Series: Fruit of the Holy Spirit
Dennis Marquardt
Galatians 5:22; 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7; 2 Corinthians 8:1-3; Hebrews 12:2-3; John 16:16-22; Acts 16:22-25,34
INTRO: Biblical 'JOY' is one of the most misunderstood attributes of the fruit of the Spirit! Normally when we think of the concept of 'JOY' we think in terms of the following:
a. laughter
b. smiling faces all aglow
c. lack of problems resulting in elated feelings
d. carefree rest
e. bubbling personality
f. fulfillment without worry
g. an emotionally high state
h. without cares.
The truth of the matter however is that 'JOY' in the Bible is nearly the opposite of a tranquil situation, and it may or may not have any strong emotions or feelings associated with it.
It is truly amazing how many times phrase like 'SING FOR JOY' or 'SHOUT/S FOR/OF JOY' and even 'LEAP FOR JOY' is used in the Bible, about 73 times in the NIV version of the Bible. JOY is an essential part of being a Spirit filled Christian, certainly where the fruit of the Spirit is at work.
PROP. SENT: The Bible teaches us that Joy is love's strength! It blossoms during tribulation, not after it. It is NOT just an outward expression or feeling; it is an inward confidence in God's love and goodness that gives strength to our life no matter what we are experiencing.
I. JOY'S SITUATION 1 Thess. 1:6-7; 2 Cor. 8:1-3
A. Pain! 1 Thess. 1:6-7
1. Early believers knew tremendous pain and persecution, yet they were the most joyful Christians!
a. It wasn't just suffering that involved a tight budget; it was suffering that meant loss of life and loss of income, even loss of family and friends!
b. Notice that Paul says they welcomed the message of the Gospel 'with the joy given by the Holy Spirit' in spite of 'severe suffering.' 1 Thess. 1:6
2. How fragile our sense of joy is today, we can struggle with a heavy schedule or a bad cold, or someone gives us a hard time and before we know it we ...

One of the largest property companies in the San Francisco Bay Area has said during an investor call that Apple is seeking around 800,000 square feet of space in the area to expand its car project. The WSJ quotes Hudson Pacific Properties CEO Victor Coleman talking about rising demand for space for car R&D in the area.
We're seeing the Toyotas of the world, the Teslas of the world, BMWs, Mercedes. Ford now is out in the marketplace looking for space. I haven't even mentioned the 400,000 square feet that Google's looking to take down and the 800,000 square feet that Apple's looking to take down for their autonomous cars as well.
That would be almost a third the size of the spaceship campus Apple is currently building, which is around 2.8M square feet …

Washington, November 14 (ANI): In a new research, scientists have determined that sponges recycle carbon to give life to coral reefs.
The research was conducted by Jasper De Goeij, the student of marine biologist Fleur Van Duyl from the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research.
Traveling to the Dutch Antilles with his student, Anna De Kluijver, De Goeij started SCUBA diving with the sponges to find out how much carbon they consume.
The duo collected sponges, placed them in small chambers and exposed the sponges to 5- bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU).
"The BrdU is only incorporated into the DNA of dividing cells," explained De Goeij, so cells that carry the BrdU label must be dividing, or have divided, since the molecule was added to the sponge's water, and cells can only divide if they are taking up carbon.
But when De Goeij returned to the Netherlands with his samples, he had problems finding the elusive label.
Discussing the BrdU detection problem with his father, biochemist Anton De Goeij, De Goeij Senior offered to introduce his son to Bert Schutte in Maastricht, who had developed a BrdU detection system for use in cancer therapy.
Maybe he could help De Goeij Junior find evidence of cell division in his sponges.
Taking his samples to Jack Cleutjens's Maastricht Pathology laboratory, De Goeij was finally able to detect the BrdU label in his sponge cells.
Amazingly, half of the sponge's choanocyte (filtration) cells had divided and the choanocyte's cell division cycle was a phenomenally short 5.4 hours.
"That is quicker than most bacteria divide," said De Goeij.
The sponge was able to take up the colossal amounts of organic carbon that De Goeij had measured, but where was the carbon going: the sponges weren't growing.
De Goeij tested to see if the cells were dying and being lost, but he couldn't find any evidence of cell death.
When he and his Pathology Department colleagues went back and looked at the samples, De Goeij realised that choanocytes were shedding all over the place.
Then, De Goeij remembered the tiny piles of brown material he found next to the sponges in the aquarium every morning.
The sponges were shedding the newly divided cells, which other reef residents could now consume.
"Halisarca caerulea is the great recycler of energy for the reef by turning over energy that nobody else can use (dissolved organic carbon) into energy that everyone can use (discarded choanocytes)," explained De Goeij. (ANI)

This product smells amazing and goes on pretty smoothly. It definitely moisturizes well however it's doesn't last very long. I find that although initially hydrating my skin after a short while I need more as I feel dry again. I have really dry skin so this product doesn't work well for me unless I am looking for a temporary boost. I think for the price i would probably stick to another product for myself. I would recommend though someone who needed something to maintain already hydrated skin.
I received this in one of The Kits from Topbox. I really liked it. I didn't have a huge bottle so I only got a couple of uses out of it. I did really like it.
This product smells so fresh and makes your skin feel moisturized. I use this as soon as I'm out of the shower and my skin smells fresh all day.
This stuff is high end and works so well on leaving my skin super soft and the smell is great
I love the Organix line of products. They are all made from top notch ingredients. This super lotion is made from argan oil which hydrates your skin very well. It doesn't leave my skin feeling tacky and it dries super fast.
As someone with consistently dry skin, I realized that anything lighter than a cream wouldn't be of much use to me...but then I found this lotion. It's quite thin & light and I love using it on my legs as it leaves a bit of shimmer. I apply this before bed, and when I wake up, my skin still feels silky smooth! It's not sticky whatsoever, and I find the fragrance quite pleasant as well.
I love this product, it smells amazing and kept my normally dry skin healthy !
i like this product :) !! i recommend it
Very good product,it's really effective, the flavor that it degage, I like it!

Hungary go down memory lane to deny Iceland
MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - Having been in soccer's doldrums for nearly half a century, Hungary are a whisker away from reaching the Euro 2016 knockout stages after a patient and almost forgotten approach bore fruit in a 1-1 draw against Hungary on Saturday.
The Hungarians, who finished fourth in the 1972 European Championship after reaching the last eight in the 1966 World Cup, at times rekindled memories of the famous generation of players who reached the 1954 World Cup final.
Captain Balazs Dzsudzsak, the team's most talented player, would not have looked out of place in the teams of the legendary Ferenc Puskas, whose "light cavalry" instilled primal fear in the hearts of traditional soccer heavyweights in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Dzsudzsak pulled the strings as Hungary, seemingly bound to end up as another victim of Iceland's simple but effective long-ball strategy, reaped the rewards for their crisp passing against a rugged defense.
The Hungarians enjoyed the lion's share of possession throughout but Iceland, the tournament's upstarts playing on the big stage for the first time, used route one to devastating effect in the first half.
Every long ball and cross driven into the penalty area rocked the Hungarians and it was hardly surprising that it produced the penalty which Gylfi Sigurdsson converted after a glaring error by goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly.
The Nordic nation's strategy had unnerved even the likes of triple World Cup finalists Netherlands, who failed to reach the European Championship after twice losing to the battling Icelanders in qualifying.
For much of the second half it looked like Iceland would again triumph on the back of a flawless defensive performance and packed midfield always a step ahead of their rivals to clear the danger, albeit with some desperate last-gasp interventions.
But with time running out Hungary resorted to Iceland's game as they started pumping teasing crosses into the penalty area which kept evading their forwards. Continued...

With Real Salt Lake losing in their 2012-2013 CONCACAF Champions League opener, Toronto FC and the Seattle Sounders will aim to pick up MLS's first victories in the competition when they kick off their respective campaigns.
Toronto FC will kick things off inside their home stadium on Wednesday night, as El Salvador outfit Aguilla pay a visit to BMO Field. The Reds should have enough firepower to find the back of the net, with Ryan Johnson and newcomers Quincy Amarikwa and Eric Hassli all available for the match. But anything less than a victory in this bout could prove damning, as group favorites Santos Laguna wait in the wings to begin their repeat run to the final.
The Sounders also begin their quest for a Champions League title at home in CenturyLink Field, as they host Trinidad and Tobago outfit Caledonia AIA in the Group 4 opener on Thursday. A victory at home will likely be what Seattle needs if it hopes to advance into the knockout phase of the tournament, especially since the Sounders play their next two matches in the tournament on the road. That means the likes of Fredy Montero and Eddie Johnson will need to be at their best in front of goal in order to give the Sounders a shot at picking up three points.
How do you see Seattle and Toronto doing in their CCL openers on Wednesday? Expecting both to pick up wins? Think they can each emerge from their groups and into the knockout phase of the tournament?
Share your thoughts below.
I hope Hassli plays tonight for TFC! Will be awesome seeing him in TFC red!
Seattle doesn't play until Thursday.
better be two wins.
Short group makes a home game against the weakest team a must win.
3 huge games for the Sounders this next 7 days.
Must win CCL game, the Galaxy and LH USOC final.
I don't see a win tonight for the Sounders. Tomorrow though, I see a good win.

No Excitement Cruise
Sail Date: March 12, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
We wanted to cruise through the Panama Canal and see some ports that we had not been to.
The cruise did that but the time at many of the ports was so short (3.5 hours in Columbia) that there was no time to really visit the location, especially if you did one of the shore excursions.
This cruise of 1,800 persons turned out to be much older. There were no children or teenagers aboard. The only night life was the piano bar. Only a couple of people stopping by the lounges. After the 10 PM show, the casino was empty as were most of the lounges.
Just No excitement on this cruise. Mario, the cruise director, did have a few entertaining 45 minute fun events.
Everything is based on a 45 minute length. Even when they had some country line dancing (2 times) and the turnout was very large, they stopped at 45 minutes and everyone moved on and the excitement went to zero.
This cruise line seems to nickle and dollar you to death. Everything has a cost. You had to pay $12.50 to learn how to make a martini, etc.
We know all about the gratuity add on so why not just put it onto the initial cost of the trip.
Crew and service were outstanding - 5 star. Food was good but not exceptional; like we have had on previous smaller ship cruises.
They need to remove the bath tubs so they can put in a decent size shower.
The Panama Canal crossing was good - 11 hour day. Very similar to the locks when you do a river cruise in Europe.
The Windows Workshops were excellent.

Ripoff Report
Rite Aid Corporation114 East Lebanon St Mount Airy, North Carolina United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I want to warn everyone about our local Rite Aid Pharmacy stores. Rite Aid now has a policy that if you use a debit or credit card they will charge your card for the full amount you approve and then within 3 minutes will request and charge another charge for the same amount. If you use a debit card you must then contact your bank and file a fraud event on the card in order to get the money back. The store manager in Mount Airy does nothing and blames it on the customer's bank.
The truth has been exposed by my bank and unknowingly exposed by the Rite Aid corporate credit processing center that it is the local stores' fault. The asinine manager, Dennis, blamed my bank, the processing center and finally the interim processing company. This manager is in the wrong job, he belongs at the toilet, where all assholes seem to belong. The programming in the card reading devices are set to create one pending charge and if the first pending charge is not completed in 1 minute it sends a second request your bank.
DON'T USE CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS FOR CHARGES OVER $50 at RITE AID! YOU WILL GET DOUBLE CHARGED.
This report was posted on Ripoff Report on 01/25/2011 07:34 PM and is a permanent record located here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/rite-aid-corporation/mount-airy-north-carolina-27030/rite-aid-corporation-rite-aid-pharmacy-double-charging-creditdebit-cards-mount-airy-nort-686793.

Rhea: Back at ItMature
Ponytail? Check.
Black dress? Check.
Combat boots? Check.
Book bag, and calculator? Check.
Most important... iPod? Check.
Here we go again. Time to ignore the whole wide world. Ooorrrrr just the section of it that attended college at my new school. First day, first semester... oh joy.
I slipped into my first period class (Psychology) three minutes late and surveyed the room. The jocks and their dumb blonde bitches were flirting and gossiping at the left of the class; and on the right the nerd kids were pulling out their work and discussing Academic Bowl. Towards the back sat the quiet kids, the ones who smelled funny, the ones who looked funny, and all the doped-up juvenile deliquents (who weren't popular). In the middle of all this there was one empty seat. Perrrrrfect...
"Rhea Padgett?"
I accidentally shot the teacher an evil look, since he surprised me. "Yessir?"
"You're late. Don't walk in in the middle of a lecture again."
I slunk down the aisle and plonked into my new seat. Pulling out my books, I looked around. The people around me were either too quiet, too insecure, or too jaded to talk to each other. Or, for that matter, me. Again, perfect.
Oh, but on my left, there was a boy. Not just any boy, but Tom Parker. Now this should be fun...

st: estimating production function
Mon, 1 Mar 2010 12:57:30 +0100
Dear Stata users,
I hope you can help me. I am trying to estimate a cobb-douglas
production function (Y=X1^a*X2^b*X3^c*....) using panel data with fixed
I am using the log of the production function as my functional form,
that is, Ln(Y) = aLn(X1) + bLn(X2) + cLn(X3)+....
And I have to assume that we have constant returns to scale, in other
words, the sum of the exponentials must be equal to 1 (a+b+c+...=1)
Is there a command to restrict the sum of exponentials to be equal to 1.
How can I do it?
Thank you very much,
