Royals oust Robins for five in a row!
Two early goals put the Royals in the driving seat at Madejski Stadium - Garath McCleary and Roy Beerens scoring past Frank Fielding within the space of six first half minutes to secure a fifth successive win in the league.
The deadlock was broken when Samuel was tripped by Magnusson inside the Bristol box, McCleary's penalty was saved but he wrapped a right foot around the rebound to ripple the net. The second came when Gunter's superb cross was brilliantly volleyed home by Beerens and the hosts had control.
City threatened throughout though and Al Habsi had to pull out saves to deny Paterson, Abraham and Reid, before Gary O'Neil rifled home from the edge of the box with four minutes left. But four nervy minutes of stoppage time elapsed and Reading had three more points.
Manager Jaap Stam named an unchanged side, keeping with the eleven that earned a comfortable 3-0 home win over Burton the previous weekend. The only change to the squad saw Jake Copper come into the group as a substitute, replacing Danzell Gravenberch who picked up a knock in our midweek U23s cup game against Athletic Bilbao.
The first half chance fell our way, McCleary fizzing in a low cross towards Samuel 10 yards out and the striker getting a foot to it first only for the accompanying defender to deflect it wide with a timely block.
The same combination almost came good once more with the game eight minutes old. Moore swept the ball out wide to McCleary who beat his man to skid a low ball into the box. Samuel was looking for a decisive touch once more but this time Frank Fielding smothered it at the near post.
And Samuel was causing a nuisance. Minutes later a run in behind the Bristol City defence saw the young striker clipped by a Hordur Magnusson cutting across him - and referee Tim Robinson pointed to the spot.
Garath McCleary
stepped up to take the spotkick, Fielding saved low to his right, but McCleary pounced on the rebound to direct it into the opposite corner and hand the Royals an early lead.
The Robins responded with a sustained spell of pressure. Aden Flint wound up his right boot and lashed through a crowd of bodies inches wide of the bottom left corner.
However, Reading had a second on 19 minutes. McCleary dinked the ball over the top for Gunter who had scuttled into the City box. He volleyed a first time cross into the area and it dropped for
who hit a spectacular first time volley of his own past a helpless Fielding and into the back of the visitors' net.
Lee Johnson's men carried a threat. Bobby Reid forced a tidy save from Al Habsi soon after the restart and then Lee Tomlin raced onto a corner that was pulled back into space but arrowed over the crossbar.
And Reid thought he'd pulled one back midway through the half when Jamie Paterson's low drive from a narrow angle was somehow kept out by Al Habsi's save against the body of Reid - the ball looping over the crossbar off the City man.
Our Omani pushed a Paterson cross to safety and Abraham was caught by the offside flag as he flicked it home after the whistle had blown. But Fielding had to pluck an Obita header out of the air before half-time.
Al Habsi had to shovel a Reid shot away from goal, McShane hoofing the loose ball clear before a City man could pounce the rebound. And Reading had a two-goal cushion at the interval.
Half-time: Reading 2-0 Bristol City
City signalled their second half intent with the first touch of the ball. Lee Johnson's men kicked off and Tammy Abraham powered forward through the Royals midfield before pulling the trigger just outside the box but aiming high over the crossbar at the end of a run full of purpose.
And Abraham got away from Moore to burst into the box soon after, pulling the ball back to tee up O'Neil for a shot that Al Habsi gathered in safely on his goalline.
Spurred on by more than 3,500 City fans, the visitors pressed again, this time Paterson dragging an effort wide of the bottom right corner from the edge of the Royals box.
Saves at both ends within moments of each other preserved the scoreline - Al Habsi pushing a Reid effort around the post after Fielding had parried a fierce McCleary drive. The game was open and looked to have more goals in it.
McCleary fed the ball into Samuel on the hour, just after City had made a double substitution, but the Royals striker couldn't find the target with his shot on the turn.
The game stayed open but some resolute defending from McShane, Moore and Blackett in the middle was doing enough to hold City at arm's length, substitute Aaron Wilbraham taking aim on the pivot but a sliding block from McShane and a clearance from Moore enough to thwart City.
With 12 minutes remaining, Abraham marauded forward again and after he was crowded out of a shot, the ball squirmed free into the path of Reid. He drilled a first time effort at goal but a superb diving block from McShane diverted the ball away from danger.
With five minutes left, Reading could have had a third. Obita's dangerous cross palmed to safety by Fielding before Williams's sidefooted effort from Harriott's cut back was blocked as it scuttled towards goal.
And City took advantage of those missed opportunities to pull one back soon after. Reading had scrapped the ball clear of their area, but only as far as
Gary O'Neil
on the edge of the box who whistled an effort inside the left upright to set up a tense finale.
Four minutes of injury time were survived, Abraham lashing over via a deflection to earn late, late corner. Fielding came up for it but as Ali Al Habsi claimed the ball in a crowded box, cheers rang around Madejski Stadium as it meant victory was ours. Five in a row.

Finger Biting At It's Finest!
During the Beyonce and Jay Z concert at Rose Bowl there were many people who got arrested including this one man who bit off another man finger tip...SERIOUSLY, WHO WOULD EVER DO THAT?!?! This was caused because the man groped the victim's girlfriend. The man was arrested inside the stadium on suspicion of sexual battery and mayhem (disabling or disfiguring a part of a victim's body, according to police and Los Angeles County booking records).

Two years, the Colorado Avalanche were on a mission to win a Stanley Cup for Ray Bourque. This year, it's the Ottawa Senators who are on a mission.
Just look at what this team has done.
It has overcome its past, all of those first-round ousters or the time it fell to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round last season after leading the series 3-2. The Philadelphia Flyers scored first in the first five games of this year's conference semifinal, but the Senators managed to come back in three of those games.
It has overcome the knock that it lacked toughness. Now they have what I call team toughness. They all stick up for one another. They all take what's given to them, but they're not afraid to give it back. You can't intimidate them anymore.
It has overcome a lot of distractions. I can tell you from experience that it's easy for a young team to become distracted. When I was with the Tampa Bay Lightning, the team was up for sale twice. But the Senators' situation was even worse. The team has been under bankruptcy protection since January. Players even had to go without paychecks for a while. But captain Daniel Alfredsson reworked his contract so the team could make key acquisitions at the trade deadline.
RDS, the network I work for, aired Minnesotas 7-2 victory against Vancouver the other night, and that game was a little unbelievable.
All-Star defenseman Ed Jovanovski had been a force in the playoffs, with six goals coming into that game, but he had a bad night. In fact, the whole team had a bad night. It just shows you cant have an off night against the Wild. They just keep coming and coming. Theyve already proven they can come back from a 3-1 series deficit.
However, I think if youre going to lose a game, its better to lose big. Losing 3-2 in overtime hurts a teams spirits more.
Vancouver learned a valuable lesson that everyone has to play together and everybody has to do the job. So I can see the Canucks bouncing back Wednesday. I still think theyre going to win the series.
You have to credit general manager John Muckler and coach Jacques Martin. They have really stabilized this franchise. John doesn't panic. He's very much in control, and his coach is equally as calm. They have their team focused. They've kept them hungry. And John's late-season acquisitions of Bryan Smolinski and Vaclav Varada have made a big difference.
That said, the New Jersey Devils will pose the biggest challenge so far this postseason for the Senators. The Devils are rested and that rest will give Scott Stevens more time to allow the cut on his head to heal. John Madden played a lot so far, and the rest will benefit him, too. Madden will probably be used against the Alfredssonline, and Stevens will probably be used against Marian Hossa.
Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur has the edge on Ottawa's Patrick Lalime because of his two Stanley Cups. His ability to move the puck and aid the Devils' transition game means Martin will have to adjust his strategy and not dump the puck near Brodeur.
Also, the Devils' disciplined system is great at slowing down a team's speed through the neutral zone and the Senators' speed is their greatest asset.
However, I personally think that Lalime is the real deal. You're not going to outshine Brodeur, but this is an opportunity for Lalime to prove to his doubters that he can win a big series.
And the Senators are more than speed. Their defense is underrated. Wade Redden is one of the biggest secrets in the NHL. He's playing superb hockey. He does everything for the team. Zdeno Chara is an All-Star, and Chris Phillips has come to the forefront and has become a really solid player. They also can roll four lines on offense.
Ottawa will win this series in seven games. Brodeur, Stevens and Madden will give them everything they can handle, but the Senators have more talent. This series will be a battle in the trenches, but Ottawa will be ready for that. In the past, the Senators might not have been willing to win the battles in the corners or in front of the net. That's no longer the case.
The Senators have never been to the conference final. But they're not satisfied with just getting there. They're not cocky, but they're confident. They didn't know they could get this far, but now, they actually believe they can win every game.
And with the talent this team has, that's dangerous.
Jacques Demers, a two-time Jack Adams Award winner as NHL coach of the year, will analyze the 2003 playoffs for USA TODAY.

The Law of Rock and Roll radio show is hosted by University of Houston Law Professor and New Mexico native, Michael A. Olivas. The show explores the legal aspects of the stars' careers, cases involving the record companies, and the business of rock and roll. Topics include noise ordinances, adhesion contracts, copyright law, back up singers, the dangers of downloading, and music by dead performers. This legal project grew out of Professor Olivas' earlier CLE programs on the subject. The feedback from the earlier presentations was so encouraging that he was moved to develop this series with KANW. In addition, for several years, he has maintained a growing listserv, Michael's Rock and Roll Posse, where he comments on all things rock and roll.

Diane, I use Microsoft Access. I keep track of over 2000 hostas. I have all kinds of information on the hostas including three fields, "Want", "Own", "Investigate". I list three nurseries (if available) that carry the hosta, and if a nursery comes up that has it for less, I replace one of the existing three. I then run queries on the hostas I have marked "want" and sort the info by Nursery. That's how I place my orders when I'm ready. I also keep track of nurseries that I've ordered from and if they provide a good product, I'll pay the extra dollar or two and order from them again. I also group orders so that I can save on shipping. A hosta that is a few dollars cheaper at nursery X may not be cheaper when adding shipping if I'm already ordering from nursery Y.
When someone raves about a hosta here, I'll mark it investigate, then try to find information about it, and see a picture. If I like it, I change investigate to want, if not, I'll note why I didn't like it and remove the investigate. My "want" list for next year has about 125 hostas listed, not that I'll get them all, but it helps with my so called budget. (ha, that's a joke)
One of the things I've started looking at is who introduced the hostas I like. By far it's Aden, with Mary running a very close second. It's pretty interesting to see who is doing what, and who is introducing "my kinda hosta". I'm still collecting the data, like I haven't finished investigating the ones I own to see who's hostas I have the most of.
These are great winter projects, but when it's growing season, between working to pay for my habit, taking care of household, two kids, a dog and two cats, and a mother, and keeping track of the garden, I have little time. What time I have left over is supposed to be my social life, which of course is a joke, because I have none. LOL!

One breast higher then other?

Revision surgery
Thanks for your inquiry, but without pictures or an exam it is hard to give you answer. i would wait at least another several months before considering revision, good luck.
Revision breast surgery
Thank you very much for your question.
I am sorry to hear about your concern. Depending on the technique used by your surgeon, the time for settling of your implants into their final position can change.
At 3 months your should have an idea of how and if things are changing. If you trust your surgeon your should simply follow his advice. If you seek a second opinion I would expect the new surgeon to keep you under observation for the next 3 months before proceeding with revision surgery.
It is essential to exclude that the "higher" breast does not have a capsular contracture.
I hope you found this email useful and I wish you all the best with your result.

Breast Implants/Breast Augmentation/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision Surgery
I appreciate your question.
Right now, you are half way in the post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Please Express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine you at this time. Then reassess final result at 6 months.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.
Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.
Best of luck!

One breast higher then other?
Just remember that no two breasts ever look the same or heal at the same rate. Larger implants may take longer to settle so give yourself a good 6 months to see your final shape. If you still aren't happy with your results, best to see your operating surgeon at that time to discuss ways to improve your look. Good luck!
One breast Higher than the other
Thank you for your question, you should consider that after surgery your breasts usually drop a little and they do it at different times, I would recommend you to wait at least 3-6 months until they settle in their final position and them evaluate the results, if you feel disappointed and unhappy with the results you can always talk with your board certified plastic surgeon.
One breast implant higher then other?
I am sorry to hear a few dissatisfaction with your breast augmentation. I would wait until your 6 months after surgery before considering a revision. Please asking her plastic surgeon if you may start breast implant displacement exercises and the use of a Bando to help the larger implant drop. To learn more about breast asymmetry please read below:
Web reference: http://www.bostonplasticsurgeryspecialists.com/services/breast-surgery/breast-asymmetry/
Correcting differences in breast size and position
For corrective surgery, you may have to wait 3 more months (at least 6 months). This is because it can take the breasts 3-6 months to achieve their final results.
Implants initially sit high up because the chest muscles and surrounding breast tissues have not become accustomed to the implant resulting in tightness. You have to allow gravity to take effect, and overtime, natural tissue expansion will allow the implants to fall into place causing your breasts to appear more natural, softer, and rounder. Once that happens, the implant will sit directly behind the breast tissue in a natural 45:55 breast ratio, and the nipples will move up higher.
Please note that it is not uncommon for breasts to heal and adapt to implants at different rates.
Please give time for the "drop and fluff."
With persistent inward and downward breast massaging, along with pole wraps, the breasts drop.
Patience is key!
If any implant does not drop with time, then it may be the case that the muscle attachments or the inframammary fold attachments are really strong and they may be preventing the implant from dropping completely. You may require an IMF release in the future to symmetrize the breasts if it does not get better for time.
Also please note that if you have saline implants, the surgeon can withdraw some of the solution to equalize the size of the breasts. If you have silicone implants, a new, but smaller implant will be needed.
Please continue to have regular follow-ups with your surgeon to make sure your breasts are healing beautifully. Their recovery instructions should take precedence over all else you read here as they are better informed about your surgical details.
Hope this helps.

I Hate HimMature
Miles Stevans
I got off the couch with a groan.I'd thought it through a million times upto now and arguing further with myself mentally would only increase my headache further. Stretching my arms causing some joints to pop, I hopped onto my feet with an alarming enthusiasm and started putting on my shoes.
Grabbing the car keys from the desk, I headed towards the door that would open up to the garage. Smiling dryly to myself, I got into the car and started the engine speeding out.
Whether Roi wanted to see me or not she was going to have to deal with it cause no matter how hard Sam was trying to break us up; he would never be able to do so. And if us remaining a couple were even possible through Sam's manipulations, we would have to make up with each other. And that's exactly what I'm going to do with her.
Parking the car into the residence lot, I got out the car swiftly and headed toward the building. The warden frowned when he saw me coming; maybe because of my regular visits.
"Let me guess, you'd like to see Roi?" He asked, eyebrow raised and I nodded, my lips turning upwards. "That's right Tom." Rolling his eyes at me, he mumbled to himself and I caught 'how many', 'boy' and 'stupid'. I wonder what made his mood turn sour. Leaning against the wall, I waited patiently and when I saw Roi come down the stairs silently behind Tom with her eyes red, the guilt inside me became higher. I was the cause of those tears. I shouldn't have been that mean with her before.
"May I have a moment?" I asked her politely, noticing the warden eyeing us. She nodded and followed me as I led her to a more private section within the building. Turning to her, my eyes filled with worry I said, "I'm so sorry about before, you know I didn't mean to d-"
"Sam came."
Hearing those two words come out her mouth, I completely froze and the apology I'd prepared in my mind vanished the second I heard his name. My hands unconciously turned into fists and Roi seeing this, looked up at me; her face twisted into an expression of disgust and anger.
"He...kind of took...'advantage' of me," she stuttered, pausing every few seconds and thinking as if the she was saying it the right way.
My eyes narrowed and I felt the anger erupt in my chest but this time I controlled it; not wanting to take it all out on her again.
"What did he do?"
She shook her head at me, looking down at the ground and no longer meeting my eyes. Cupping her chin, I tilted it upwards so her eyes met mine and asked her more softly, "What did Sam do?"
She opened her mouth and told me slowly and by the time she'd finished, I felt like I could murder him and didn't give a crap anymore about getting sacked.

"I usually go to Tesco, but I came here for the chicken," she said, standing near the poultry counter. "It's a giveaway. Everything is going up in price so every day now we only eat chicken."
The chicken she was after was pale in the unearthly light, not particularly appetising - but one look at the label explained why she had made her special trip. It weighed 1.5kg, was British and fresh - and cost just £2. Mrs Wamsler's most difficult choice was whether to buy two or three. She took three.
Asda and Tesco are waging a price war and, along with Harry Potter books and school uniforms, chicken is on the frontline. Birds and bits of birds are being offered at bargain basement prices and the £2 chicken is flying off the shelves.
Asda boasts that its £2 chicken is now "iconic", one of the few foods that people will cross town for. The miserable summer has more than made up for the loss of trade in barbecues, says Rachel Fellows, a spokeswoman for the store. "The more people stay indoors, the more they eat chicken."
And the chicken wars are by no means confined to whole birds. The big four supermarkets were this week selling 236 chicken products - everything from chicken chargrills and thighs to chicken pies and curries, chicken soups and breaded birds - and most of their prices were heavily discounted. Of the 236, Tesco's Pricewatch website - which Asda fiercely contests - showed that prices were not comparable on 102 products, but of the rest, 75 were exactly the same price. Tesco was marginally cheaper on 34 products and Asda on 25.
It sometimes seems as though the super-competitive stores are using chicken to snipe at each other just for the sake of it. If Tesco reduces the price of its healthy frozen skinless breast chicken by a penny one week, Asda will follow suit the next. The frontline may tomorrow be moved to Chicken Tonight or Frozen Chickens in Mushroom. Other supermarkets will not say if they intend to match the £2 chicken but they are all doing the sums.
In fact, chicken has been ultra-cheap for years. While just about every other foodstuff has increased its real price 50%-200% in the past 20 years, chicken has increased by just 15%, according to Defra. In real terms, this means it may have dropped in price by nearly 50% in that time. "It has actually reduced by 4% in the last four years," says Jeremy Blackburn, from the British Poultry Council.
"I don't know how the supermarkets can sell it for £2," says Nigel Joice, regional chairman of the National Farmers' Union's poultry board, who has invested millions of pounds to rear 880,000 broiler chickens a year on a modern farm in north Norfolk. He sells broiler (eating) chickens to most supermarkets - but declines to say which.
The chicken industry in Britain is roughly divided between the integrated agribusinesses which own and control the chain from producer to supermarket, and the independents. It works on contracts and the biggest cost is not the bird but the feed. "It's never been tougher. I can produce chicken meat for around 56p a kilo and I am only making any money if I forget about depreciation," says Joice. He is wary of stating precise figures but he believes someone must be losing a lot of money. "There are five or six major chicken processors in Britain, and five or six supermarkets, and they all are playing one off against another," he says.
"We are not losing money on the £2 bird," said Ms Fellows. "We are investing a large part of the profit [we would normally take them on]. The price works for the consumer and also the supplier who wants to sell large volumes." But, she adds: "They [the producers] meet us part of the way" - which is Asda's way of saying that the £2 chicken wars are driving down the prices paid to farmers.
"I don't blame the retailers for the phenomenon of the £2 chicken," says Charles Bourne, who rears 57,000 birds a year in Gloucestershire. He plays music to his birds, which he says makes them grow better. "Margins were low. Now they are non-existent. Every supermarket has two preferred suppliers but very rarely has a third. And there is always someone trying to get in, offering prices lower. There are people out there trying to buy business. The supermarkets are being offered these prices." He can produce chickens for 54.6p a kilo. He says he needs 56.47p just to keep going.
"It's really hurting," says Andrew Sheppard, a research associate at Exeter University's centre for rural research, who has studied the economics of the poultry trade. "That £2 price has to cover growing the bird, slaughtering it, disposing of the waste, its transport, the environmental charges, the lot. In real terms it's a giveaway. What's hurting the growers most is the cost of wheat, on which the birds are fed. This is going very high. The £2 bird comes just as the costs have never been higher."
Because it is easy to produce and to export, chicken has become the first global staple meat - as suitable for junk food as for gourmets. The leading 20 chicken-producing countries together reared more than 70m tonnes of the bird in 2005, more than twice as much as in 1990. It's now the food of choice for the aspiring middle classes of China and India, and other developing countries whose diets are becoming less vegetarian as they become richer. It's the "safe" food for the British middle classes worried about BSE and other animal diseases, it's cheaper than fish, and pound for pound is cheaper than bread. And its popularity is growing. Last month, the UN predicted that consumption of chicken would rise another 10-20% in the next eight years.
Britain does not just sell and produce the cheapest chickens in Europe, it is now the undisputed European capital of chicken. We have now overtaken France and produce 860m chickens a year - 16m a week. We ate nearly 1.6m tonnes of them last year and we imported 50,000 tonnes of chicken and exported nearly the same. Much came from Europe, but nearly 100m chickens - or rather bits of chickens - come to Britain a year from Thailand and Brazil.
Every nation has its preferences - and the result is that at any one time, millions of tonnes of chicken parts are crisscrossing the world. Wings, legs, livers, feet, heads, breasts and thighs all have their markets. Broadly, China takes the feet, the Caribbean takes the wings, Africa the legs. The breasts go to Europe and America.
And this global chicken trade has a dark side. "On one level it's all healthy competition and good for the consumer, but on another it is increasing pressure to lower standards. It leaves no money to invest in plant, and encourages a low-wage, deskilled economy that cuts corners with health and has great ecological consequences," says industry analyst, who asked to remain anonymous.
"A £2 chicken is disgusting," says Joyce d'Silva, chair of Compassion in World Farming. "It devalues life. You cannot have quality of life and a £2 chicken. People do not realise how chickens sold for £2 in Britain are kept. If they did they would not buy them." Others point out that cheap chickens are invariably caged, which means they don't get any exercise, which means there are now more calories from fat in the average chicken than from protein.
"Battery cages keep hens confined in spaces little more than the size of an A4 sheet of paper and prevent their natural behaviour. This is a cruel practice, the result of totally unacceptable intensive farming methods, and it undermines consumer confidence," says Jenny Jones, a Green Party member of the London Assembly. Asda said yesterday that the £2 chickens were not free-range, corn-fed or organic but were all grown in Britain to EU standards.
For libertarians, the growth of industrial chicken farming and a world trade in chicken parts is a human success story, but for others it is a disaster, as Virginie Pissoort of SOS Faim, a Belgian development organisation that has analysed the effect of cheap chicken arriving in Africa, explains: "Two years ago we found that tens of thousands of people lost their livelihoods in Cameroon as a direct result of frozen legs and bits of chicken coming in from Europe and Brazil. It's chicken madness. Local producers just cannot compete."
Where once there were opium wars, now countries fight chicken wars to protect their own producers, few of whom can compete in the global market, or they use chicken to punish other countries. Avian flu, salmonella, contaminated chicken feed, illegal veterinary drugs and any of the many poultry diseases that have struck in recent years have all been cited by countries banning chicken imports from others. In the past year, China, US, Vietnam, Poland, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, South Africa, Russia, China, Mexico and Japan have all banned or been banned from exporting chicken. It's an easy food to ban, and it hurts because of the high level of investment required.
Back in Clapham, the £2 chicken is selling out. "Why are they selling this bird so cheap?" asks Bridget Aguilar, a local shopper. "There must be a catch. It smells to me that something is wrong." But she bought one anyway.
A chef's view: 'It's tasteless and greasy'
At first glance, raw, it looked OK, but when I gave it a good going-over there were some properly worrying pointers. It was so pale, and the poor parson's nose looked rubbed raw from the intensive farming. Poking the flesh revealed what might as well be a life's ambition to retain more water than Lake Erie.
The cooking instructions said to cover with foil (Asda's in-house chefs really do seem to like pallid food), and pop it in the oven - what, with no seasoning? I decided to season the hell out of it in the vague hope of injecting some flavour. During the cooking, a freaky amount of fat came out of it. Some 50 mins later, out the chicken came. I let my best chef friend, Fred, have a try. "It tastes like Kentucky Fried Flesh," was his summary, "and the bones behave like cardboard." I tried it too. It was tasteless, and greasy.
The taste of food is a product of how it's reared - did anyone give this bird a chance to develop, give it an even minimally nutritious diet? Did anyone actually ever care? We think not, and that, to me, is just not right. We all have a responsibility to move away from this kind of food production. End of.

This serum contains a form of niacinamide known as myristyl nicotinate. Myristyl nicotinate is a derivative of nicotinic acid, a component of vitamin B3 (niacin). It isn't the same ingredient as niacinamide, but functions in nearly the same manner (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com).
Just like niacinamide, there is research on myristyl nicotinate's ability to improve skin barrier function, mitigate signs of sun damage, and reduce the incidence of atopic dermatitis, commonly known as dry skin. Niacinamide and myristyl nicotinate are both compatible with several prescription drugs used to treat various skin conditions and are believed to enhance their efficacy and/or minimize the negative side effects. Myristyl nicotinate is stabilized to prevent the release of, or quick conversion to, nicotinic acid, which can cause facial flushing, particularly in those dealing with rosacea (Sources: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, February 2007, pages 893–899; Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, November 2007, pages 1176–1182; and Experimental Dermatology, November 2007, pages 927–935, and June 2007, pages 490–499). In short, it's on par with niacinamide as being a worthwhile, research-proven anti-aging ingredient—but this serum isn't a great option.
Aside from its needlessly high price, this serum contains several irritants. Among them are menthol, menthyl lactate, and the super-potent menthoxypropanediol. All of these cause a cooling, tingling sensation on skin. That sensation may make you think this is an "active" product that's doing something, and it is—but what's happening is your skin's response to being irritated, not a remarkable change that will reduce pores and give you "ageless skin".
What about the plant stem cells this contains? Here's the scoop: Stem cells in skin-care products do not work as claimed. In fact, they likely have no effect at all. The reason is due to the fact that stem cells need to be alive in order to function as stem cells. Once these delicate cells are added to skin-care products, they are long dead and therefore useless. It's actually a good thing that stem cells in skin-care products can't work as claimed because one stem cell study has revealed the potential risk of cancer they pose (at its core, cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells).
Plant stem cells such as those derived from apples, melons, or rice cannot stimulate stem cells in human skin, though being from plants these ingredients likely have antioxidant properties. It's a good thing plant stem cells can't work as stem cells in skin care products; after all you don't want your skin to absorb cells that can grow into apples or watermelons!
There are also claims that because a plant's stem cells allow a plant to repair itself or survive in harsh climates, these benefits can be passed to human skin. How a plant functions in nature is unrelated to human skin and these claims are completely without substantiation.
The bottom line is that this serum isn't as powerful as it seems. If you're curious about myristyl nicotinate or niacinamide, you can gain the benefits of either ingredient (and remember, they're basically interchangeable) from superior serums that cost less and don't contain irritants. One more source of irritation is the fragrance ingredients this serum contains…as if all the menthol ingredients weren't bad enough!
This lightweight, deep penetrating serum features NIA-114™, plant stem cells, and peptides that work together to reduce the size, length, and depth of wrinkles. It diminishes the look of pores while boosting luminosity and reflectivity for more radiant, healthy, ageless skin.
Water, Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Myristyl Nicotinate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Polysorbate 20, Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Glycerin, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Globularia Cordifolia Callus Culture Extract, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Maltooligosyl Glucoside, Glyceryl Stearate, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Sigesbeckia Orientalis Extract, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Sorbitan Laurate, Lecithin, Rabdosia Rubescens Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil, Menthol, Menthyl Lactate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Dilauramidoglutamide Lysine, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols, Bisabolol, Polyacrylate-13, Dimethicone/ PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer, Acetyl Hydroxyproline, Palmitamide, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols, Tocopherol, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, Behenyl Alcohol, Fragrance (Parfum), Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, Carbomer, Polyisobutene, Stearic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Hexyldecanol, Chlorphenesin, Benzoic Acid, Menthoxypropanediol, Disodium EDTA, Potassium Sorbate, Benzyl Alcohol, Citronellal, Eugenol, Geraniol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone.
StriVectin put itself on the skincare map with its original StriVectin-SD cream, designed to treat stretch marks. The product took off and became the cornerstone of skincare collection whose focus is now on anti-aging. Its main selling point is its use of myristyl nicotinate (called NIA-114 in brand literature), which is related to and has many of the same properties as niacinamide.
Overall, the brand has some worthwhile products and for the most part they're in packaging that will protect their ingredients from light and air. Unfortunately there are a number of options that include fragrance and other potential irritants, which are noted in our individual reviews.

Could someone please provide information on the direct jetfoil to Shenzhen Airport from HK? Does it leave from Kowloon, near the Star Ferry terminal? How would we find the schedule? I've tried searching websites and can't seem to find it, but I know several people here have mentioned it. Thanks.

Jetfoil to Shenzhen Airport
Report Abuse
They are down to just one single sailing now:
Just not a viable form of tranportation anymore. It simply cannot complete with the direct bus between the Elements Mall at the Kowloon Airport Express/MTR station to SZX, which costs HK$100 and departs every 30 minutes.
They used to have about 5-6 sailings from Shun Tak Center (Macau Pier) on HK Island. But with the increased HK-Macau service on both Turbojet and Cotaijet, they don't have enough berths for the Macau service, so they cancel all the ones to SZX.
Minor point, Turbojet uses their slower catamaran for their routes to China; you basically only gets jetfoils and foilcats on HK-Macau.
Report Abuse
Thanks. I can't tell from the schedule exactly how long the trip takes by jetfoil?
And with the bus, does it wait for people at customs and then continue on to the airport, itself? I thought it required a walk across the border, and then finding a shuttle of some sort on the other side.
Report Abuse
Ferry about 50 minutes. But after you clear Chinese customs, you need to take a short (and free) shuttle to the terminal.
For the bus - and I am talking about the one-year old direct service from the Elements mall, not other ones - you need to take all your belongings off the bus, clear HK immigration and then Chinese immigration. The exact same bus will be waiting for you on the other side, and they have workers to direct you to the bus (and they recognize you by a sticker they put on you earlier).
This bus uses the Shenzhen Bay crossing, which is much less crowded. No steps, no escalators. And because it doesn't segregate foreign passport holders from the Hong Kong people using a permit, there won't be long lines for foreigners like at some other Chinese entry points. And you only get off the bus once, unlike other services that you need to get off twice.
I've used the bus, and it's one of the most civilized way to get into China I've done. And I use a US passport with a visitor visa, like most of you.
Report Abuse
One thing though. The bus actually takes 90 minutes. The 75 that they advertise is optimistic.
Report Abuse
Terrific information, thanks. The bus sounds like a great idea. Do you have the link to the bus schedule, by any chance?
Report Abuse
Every :15 and :45 from 7:15a to 7:15p. HK$100. Takes 90 minutes, not 75 as they say. They will first stop at SZX Terminal A, but may not make the extra stop at Terminal B. It is just a short walk between the two connected terminals.
Go to the Elements Mall above the Kowloon MTR/AE station. Find the Starbucks. (If you're arriving by train, go up the escalators to the mall, then turn right). They are directly opposite Starbucks.
Report Abuse
Thanks for all this info and the link to your pictures. That Elements mall looks ultra modern, quite a location for a bus station. Clearly, this bus is the way to get to SZX - and the price is right.
Report Abuse
What if one is doing the reverse, i.e. arriving at Shenzhen by an early morning flight, or a late night flight (at about midnight), and seeking a transfer to Kowloon ? Do buses run that late ? Any other mode of transport ?
Report Abuse
Last Chinalink bus is at 9pm from SZX:
And first one at 9:30a.
There are plenty of other options. You can take a taxi or the 330 Airport Bus to the Lowu border, cross into Hong Kong and then take the East Rail train.
Or there are other so-called "direct" buses to Hong Kong that uses the older and more crowded Huanggang crossing. Or you take a taxi to Huanggang, and then take another coach after you exit the Chinese border. [The Huanggang border requires one to get off a vehicle twice - once for Chinese border, once for HK; like the Shenzhen Bay crossing.]
But Huanggang is the only crossing that opens 24 hours. So, if you're talking about the overnight hours, that may be your only choice.

Rand Paul, son of Texas libertarian Ron Paul and Republican candidate for Senate in Kentucky, was interviewed for yesterday's New York Times Magazine. When the interviewer cheekily asked whether or not Paul the Father let Paul the Son do whatever he wanted as a child, Rand gave an interesting response: "The kind of funny thing is that there's a difference between the government and a family. A family can be a complete dictatorship."
It's interesting not only because of the insight provided regarding the apparently authoritarian nature of the Paul household ("you'll read The Fountainhead again and you'll like it!"). Here we find a libertarian actually making a distinction between the nature of a government and the nature of a household. These days, the prevailing economic wisdom on the right seems to hold that government spending should be guided by the good old fashioned principles of household budgeting. The general argument usually goes something like this: "government needs to tighten its belt in these hard times just like all the families and small businesses out there," or that ambitious social programs shouldn't be financed with deficits because "we don't have the money to pay for it." Deficit spending has to be stopped or in relatively short order, or the economy will collapse and we'll all be heating our homes with shovelfuls of greenbacks.
This is a pretty simplistic argument, and the economist L. Randall Wray pretty thoroughly demolishes some of the assumptions behind it in an amusing post at the New Deal 2.0 website. Here's a little taste:
5. Some claim that if the government continues to run deficits, some day the dollar's value will fall due to inflation; or its value will depreciate relative to foreign currencies. But only a moron would refuse to accept dollars today on the belief that at some unknown date in the hypothetical and distant future their value might be less than today's value. If you have dollars you don't want, please send them to me.
But as I've found out after years of arguments at family functions over the idea of running the government like a business, for the most part it doesn't matter how many facts or how much logic you bring to a question like this. That's because most people's positions on economic issues aren't based on objectively demonstrable criteria. They're based mostly on non-economic values and emotions.
I've been reading Richard Hofstadter's classic The Paranoid Style in American Politics lately, and while some of his arguments are dated or flawed, he makes this specific point better than anyone else probably ever has:
Deficit spending is vehemently opposed by great numbers of people in our society who have given no serious thought - indeed are hardly equipped to do so - to the complex questions bearing on its efficacy as an economic device. They oppose it because their personal experience or training in spending, debts, and prudential management leads them to see in deficit spending a shocking repudiation of the moral precepts upon which their lives have been based. As a matter of status politics, deficit spending is an affront to millions who have been raised to live (and in some cases have been forced by circumstances to live) abstemious, thrifty, prudential lives. As a matter of interest politics, deficit spending might work to their advantage; but the moral and psychological effect, which is what they can really understand and feel, is quite otherwise: when society adopts a policy of deficit spending, thrifty small-businessmen, professionals, farmers, and white-collar professionals who have been managing their affairs by the old rules feel that their way of life has been officially and insultingly repudiated.
I'm not sure if there's really anything that can be done about this. As Hofstadter argues, there's probably always going to be a fairly sizable portion of the population for whom this mode of politics is attractive. If anything, as the economy and society seemingly become more complex and people's ability to understand its workings becomes more circumscribed, it's very possible that this general phenomenon will only become even more pronounced than it is now. That's probably not a good thing for left politics or the prospects for democracy generally.
