damage caused by long-term smoking results in grayish looking skin and
lines around the mouth and eyes. The skin's collagen and elastin are
both affected and this causes the pale look that smokers have.
Reversing the effects of long-term smoking may be difficult but there
are ways to minimize the damage. By following these steps, you can be
on your way to reclaiming your youthful look!
you can attempt to repair the damage, you have to quit the habit. You
have to stop tobacco use in order to stop further damage to the skin.
The chemicals in the cigarette cause a reduction in the blood flow to
the organs, resulting in the premature aging and wrinkling. The skin is
deprived of oxygen and essential nutrients, affecting the regeneration
of the skin cells.
you quit smoking, the next step is to improve your diet. You need to
start eating healthy foods that will improve the quality of your skin.
Foods rich in vitamins C and E including fruits and vegetables, will
enhance skin protection. Smoking affects the body's ability to absorb
the essential vitamins, which contributes to the premature aging. When
you eat a healthy diet and hydrate the skin with plenty of water, you
can minimize most of the damage. You should also avoid caffeine and
alcohol as these drinks contribute to dehydration.
good care of your skin through cleansing and moisturizing is essential.
You need a good skin care routine and for this, you need the best
products. Consult a skin care specialist who will recommend the best
skin care products for you. A deep pore cleanser will help to clean
your smoke dried skin and when you complete the process with a good
moisturizer, you can regain some of the lost luster. Make sure that you
use products that are formulated for your skin type.
have come up with topical products that can be very helpful in reducing
the signs of premature aging. The advanced products like Retinoid can
diminish the appearance of wrinkles and leave the face looking
noticeably smoother. Before you reach for the first product that makes
anti-aging promises, you need to find out the products that actually
work. Products that contain the essential vitamins will improve the
appearance of the face. A cream or lotion containing hydroxy acids can
help in skin exfoliation. Some of these products require a prescription
but you can also get non-prescriptions.
you have severe skin damage due to smoking, you need to see a
dermatologist who will offer the best solutions. While topical products
might offer some help, you might need skin rejuvenation treatment to
get the appearance that you want. The skin treatments such as Botox,
dermal fillers, dermabrasion and chemical peels help to reduce the
appearance of the wrinkles. It is important to ensure that an
experienced professional carries out the procedures.
the non-invasive procedures do not produce the desired results, you can
get cosmetic surgery. An experienced surgeon can help to reverse the
damage caused by smoking. For instance, a face-lift can help to reverse
the damage and give your skin a better appearance. However, this option
is costly and it is very important to make sure that you get any
cosmetic procedure from a highly qualified plastic surgeon.
summary, the effects of smoking on the skin can tend to be grave and
serious so you should definitely quit the habit before it is too late.
You do not have to wait until you look ten years older than you are
today. At the very least, switching to electronic cigarettes will help
you to quit tobacco smoking for now if you find it to quit cold turkey.
One step at a time, my friends!

Galactic Dreams
by Harry Harrison
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a relatively short collection of Harry Harrison short stories. They are:
* I always do what Teddy says: what happens when we abdicate teaching our youngsters moral values to machine, and then don't test that the machine is working correctly? A short story about unit testing?
* Space rats of the CCC: this story is just silly. Its a little bit like Bill the Galactic Hero in style, but also a little bit annoying. It didn't really work for me.
* Down to earth: I'm sure I've read this basic plot line about a billion times, for example Hawk Among the Sparrows being just one example. This one didn't even have a good twist at the end.
* A criminal act: Harrison feels strongly about population grow (see also Make Room, Make Room!). Its pretty obvious in this story, although its not as preachy as Make Room, Make Room.
* Famous first words: I actually really liked this one.
* The Pad - a story of the day after the day after tomorrow: seducing women is hard work for billionaires, apparently.
* If: a pretty standard "don't alter the time lines" tale, with a small if predictable twist.
* Mute Milton: what important discoveries have been lost through the ages through racism or accident?
* Simulated trainer: this is an interesting story -- I quite like the concept, and the execution is more believable than most Harrison stories.
* At last, the true story of Frankenstein: this is a good story too, with a nice twist at the end.
* The robot who wanted to know: a pretty classic robot story, which could just as easily fit in an Asimov collection as a Harrison collection. I'm quite partial to robot stories, and I enjoyed it.
* Bill the Galactic Hero's happy holiday: I've previous complained about the overall style of the Bill the Galactic Hero series. I think it works better as a short story than a novel, because the level of annoyance it develops in the reader is smaller. This was actually better than the novel length Bill stories that I've read so far.
Overall, a solid collection, but not startlingly good.

An Arabic-speaking U.S. reporter in Iraq talks about the possible collapse of the country, and urges American policymakers to make friendly overtures toward Iran.
Foreign Policy:
FOREIGN POLICY: What does the current stalemate over the appointment of a prime minister say about the political process in Iraq, and whether the tensions on the ground can be discussed and eased at a political level?
Nir Rosen: I think it shows just once more that events inside the Green Zone have really no relation to what happens on the street in Iraq. They are bickering among themselves about how to create a government. But outside the Green Zone, they wouldn't last a minute, not one of these leaders, they would immediately be killed. Events inside the zone have been a big theater: What it does show is that they can't even cooperate at a political level. Meanwhile, their militias are already fighting each other, whether they are Kurdish, Shia, or Sunni. It shows there is no hope of any political rapprochement. Not that that would have an impact on the ground, because on the ground it is the militia leaders who are in charge. Every neighborhood has its own little army, every mosque has its own little army, that's where the power lies in Iraq, with the guys with the guns on the street.

Selamat Datang ke Batu Pahat / Selamat Jalan
Once upon a time, when driving into Batu Pahat along Jalan Kluang, you do not see much on your left or right. It's fairly dark at night until you reach where you turn into Jalan Bakau Condong, where the mosque is on the right. There, you see the beautiful white lights of the minarets.
But since December last year, you know you have reach Batu Pahat when you see a big Selamat Datang ke Batu Pahat neon lights.
BP Town has expanded quite a lot these few years. This place used to be so ulu ulu, now it's no longer.
Of course if you are leaving Batu Pahat at night, you see the other side of the overhead bridge with Selamat Jalan. Pandu Cermat.
These lights are part of the advertisement of Batu Pahat Mall. Quite fancy fancy leh…. With lights like these as well.
For those who have been away for a long time, when was the last time you came home?

Letters to the editor for June 18, 2008
Burdened by the cost of government
This letter was sent in April to the mayor of Oro Valley, vice mayor and city council members. The only respondent: Bill Garner.
How many times did I hear that the annexation into Oro Valley would not increase taxes? Now that my subdivision has been annexed, taxes have and will be increasing the cost of living in Oro Valley.
My cost for Rural Metro went from $132 in 2005 to a whopping $256.96 in 2006 – almost doubled in one year. This year, $278.68. This because "both fire agencies as well as the town of Oro Valley are working together to make the system better." This is better? It's my understanding that once we are annexed by the Golder Ranch Fire District I can look forward to this cost (probably increasing) being added to my property taxes.
Oro Valley gained approximately 126 businesses with annexation of the Rancho Catalina area. Because of this we now pay an increase in sales tax when we patronize these businesses.
It's curious why, when Oro Valley gained tax revenues from annexation of these businesses, should costs for Rural Metro or anything else increase for residents? Why should an increase in tax revenue for the town of Oro Valley translate into higher costs for residents? Maybe a no-annexation, no-growth policy would be better for all of us.
And now Oro Valley has decided that we should pay yet another $34.80 a year for a "storm fee." Now we have to pay for our scant rain?
I'm sorry to say that I was better off under Pima County. These are lean times. The whole country is in a recession. We are paying more and more for food and gas, and seeing more and more home foreclosures. Maybe you don't think that $34.80 a year is very much, but this is the very worst time to be putting increasing economic pressure on people.
We need city council members with good fiscal problem-solving skills who will balance the budget and prioritize the use of tax revenues so not to overburden residents with the cost of government.

Writer was wrong about political signs
Dear Mayor Loomis,
Thank you for your graciousness in writing to The Explorer to explain that the campaign signs that I cited in a letter to the editor belonged to your neighbor.
I was misled some time ago about whose home had the campaign posters.
You corrected the comment very nicely, but I am sending this to The Explorer acknowledging that I was wrong about the ownership of that property.
I certainly have nothing against displaying campaign signs. Still, I can understand your choice of not taking sides in a nonpartisan election.
Thank you,
Kathy Pastryk

Desirable OV has no need to give any incentives
You can always tell when a business is on the ropes and management has lost its competitive edge. It starts cutting prices.
Oro Valley sits atop one of the most desirable locations in the entire country, but Councilman Gillaspie seems to think the only way Oro Valley can attract companies such as Sanofi-Aventis is to use public funds to bribe them.
In an e-mail response to a constituent, Gillaspie wrote: How do we make this happen if we do not engage in mutually beneficial agreements? I don't intend to be cynical, but standing on the corner and waving is not very useful. It is apparent that Gillaspie learned nothing from the Vestar debacle that resulted in OV forking over $23 mill to get a Wal-Mart.
Even worse, out-of-touch Councilwoman Dankwerth described the $360,000 bribe to Sanofi-Aventis as "miniscule." To whom is 360 thousand dollars miniscule?
And the always generous-with-tax-dollars, developer-poster-boy, Councilman Parish, said "it would be a snub … if we didn't give this $360,000."
I guess it's easy to give away other people's money, but any councilman or councilwoman who cannot adequately extol the inherent virtues of this community and induce businesses to locate here is demonstrating his or her inadequacy for the job he or she was elected to perform. If Gillaspie, Dankwerth and Parish choose to subsidize a multinational corporation, which is already located in Oro Valley, they will create more angst and provide yet another opportunity for the referendum. Voters are disgusted with giveaways. Fifty million in giveaways is more than enough for our little town.
Perhaps their limited business experience contributes to this Wal-Mart, give-away mentality, but my business experience is quite different. If you produce an unique, quality product and back it with exceptional service, customers will flock to your store. Locating in Oro Valley is the desirable product. Unlike Detroit, Oro Valley does not have to bribe people to come here.
Occasionally, listening to the voters is a good thing for politicians.

Don't blame Dems; energy woes rooted in demand
In his recent letter, Rick Cunnington blames high gas prices on the Democratic Party and its "radical extremist base." In compiling his baseless piece, Cunnington fails to mention the specter of China and India, nations whose rapid industrialization policies are at the core of this problem.
So let's look at some statistics. The Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, a non-profit group with no particular axe to grind, has advised that world oil consumption will rise by about 60 percent in the next decade. China's oil consumption will grow at a rate of 7.5 percent a year, with India following at 5.5 percent per year. These projections, along with oil speculators driving up prices, have contributed to the crude oil price spike over the past five years.
Cunnington also implies that the "ultra-rich Democrat donors" living on the coasts have prevented oil exploration along the coastlines because they don't want oil rigs spoiling their view. I suggest he take a trip to ultra-rich Santa Barbara, home of many liberal Democrats. Here, you can walk out to the pier and not only eyeball the Pacific oil rigs on the horizon, but you can smell the petroleum wafting through the air.
As I ride to work every day in my vanpool, among a sea of gas-guzzling, single-occupant SUVs, it occurs to me that we've learned nothing from the Arab oil embargo of the '70s. Some 35 years later, we still don't have a national energy policy. The most recent attempt by our cloak-and-dagger vice president was clouded in secrecy.
A 2004 study by the British Petroleum Statistical Review of World Energy has advised that oil reserves will run out by 2045. Our children will live to see this day. The Bush Administration and Mr. Cunnington both believe that we can drill our way to energy independence, but with only 6 percent of known oil reserves located in North America, this argument is rather limited.
In Cunnington's rush to judgment, he has failed to realize this is a global energy crisis to be solved only by the community of nations. Our national politics is a mere sideshow in this equation.

Amherst Police Now Accepts Text Messages Into Dispatch
The Amherst Police Department is pleased to announce that we are now accepting text messages directly into our dispatch center. Your tips and non-emergency questions can be sent directly to the dispatcher on duty who has the ability to respond as time permits.
For many, texting has become a primary and convenient way of communicating. When someone has a quick question or is seeking information, society has accepted texting as a quick and efficient way to communicate.
Like many medium sized police departments, the Amherst Police Department's dispatch center is sometimes only staffed with one dispatcher who is juggling multiple calls for service and police radio traffic. By utilizing text messaging in a police dispatch center, it offers the community another way to contact the police department with their questions and minor concerns instead of taking the time to call in.
The Amherst Police Department answers calls for the utilities department after hours and on weekends and holidays. This amounts to 74% of the year and creates an increased obligation on the dispatcher during times of power outages, water main breaks, and storm related issues. When the utilities (water, electric) go out in a neighborhood, it is not uncommon for the dispatch center to receive numerous calls at one time. Callers report the utility outage, ask when the utility will be restored, and often call back to inquire how much longer before the utility is restored. The same holds true for storm related issues. Receiving multiple calls from several residents while a dispatcher is trying to make outgoing calls to contact the utility workers to get services restored, while dealing with priority police radio traffic is very challenging. Non-emergency callers may be placed on hold for long periods of time when they only want to ask a simple question or report a minor problem. Both can be trying for the caller and the dispatcher. Texting will help alleviate this challenge.
Amherst residents, business owners and customers of Amherst utilities are strongly encouraged to text their non-emergency questions and minor concerns into the police dispatch center instead of calling.
Because citizens do not generally know when our dispatchers are extremely busy, there are several other questions and situations we encourage the public to text us:
- What time is trick or treat, parades, Christmas tree lighting, etc.?
- What time is curfew?
- Checking to see if an accident report is completed and/or ready for release.
- Checking if a public records request is ready to be picked up
- Citizens who are hearing and/or speech impaired.
Besides texting the dispatch center with minor questions, you may text us with minor concers, information or complaints that are not an emergency. Some examples of these are:
- Minor parking complaints.
- Area utility outages
- Traffic control devices that are not working properly
- Storm related damage that needs a city worker's attention (the city will determine the need for immediate attention)
- Minor safety concerns
- Building code violations
- Minor nuisance calls, such as barking dogs or loud music.
- Dead animals on the side of the road
- If a particular officer is on duty that you would like to talk to
Residents are encouraged to text any of the above complaints or concerns. If it is a minor complaint where an officer is needed to respond, the dispatcher may text you back requesting more information including your name, address as if you called in. Or, if the issue you are reporting is more than minor, you may be asked to call into the dispatch desk or a dispatcher may call you.
There is no doubt that school aged children are more willing to text information they would not normally report in person. Many students become aware of information and situations they do not want to tell a teacher or police officer in person even though the issue may be an important safety concern. Large posters will be placed throughout the high school and junior high school encouraging students to text the police department with tips and information.
Student Concerns
- Drug activity tips
- Alcohol activity tips
- Known underage drinking parties
- Planned fights
- Tips on recent crimes such as thefts, vandalism, and drug sales
- Bullying
- Concealed weapons tips
- Concerns for others (suicidal thoughts, depression)
When you do text our dispatch center, please give the dispatcher several minutes to respond. If you do not get a response in a reasonable amount of time, please call one of our non-emergency phone lines.
A note of caution:
- Do not text emergency situations where immediate police response is necessary. Please call 440-988-2625 or 911 if it is an emergency.
- Please do not text our police dispatch center (or anyone) while driving. Your minor questions or concerns can wait until you can safely send a text message.
- Any phantom or bogus texts will be dealt with through criminal means and seizure of your electronic device as evidence will likely occur.
Message from Chief Joseph Kucirek

Cuisine: Italian
Location: Perth CBD, Shafto Lane
Note: Closed
I was catching up with some ex-colleagues and chose Shafto's Cafe as our venue. Formerly Cafe Bocca, a change in management resulted in the restaurant being changed to Shafto's Cafe but still keeping it's Italian identity. I hadn't visited Cafe Bocca previously, but upon approaching the restaurant on the ever popular Shafto Lane, a man stood waiting to greet me and direct me to my table. Service was a noticeable aspect during my lunch experience.
While Italian, the menu has a variety of items to suit different tastes. I was surprised to see paella so I went for that. After a reasonable wait while catching up with my lunch party, all our dishes were brought out at the same time. I was asked if I would like some shaved Parmesan and said why not. The waiter then freshly grated Parmesan over my paella.
The serving size was more than decent. Nice plump moist rice grains were evident with bits and pieces of cacciatore sausage, chicken, prawns and a nice large king prawn perched on the very top of the slight mound. There was also a tender scallop buried in the rice too. Nice and flavoursome but lacking the fish stock flavour I was expecting as per the amazing paella I ate in Melbourne several years ago (I always use this as my benchmark). I really enjoyed the flavour of the cacciatore sausage and the juicy prawns. An enjoyable meal with good company.
Shafto's Cafe Food Review Summary
Verdict: I enjoyed the version of paella served up to me in a nice pleasant setting with a focus on polite service. A more than decent serving of paella, lovely soft plump rice grains that were not mushy, delicious cacciatore sausage adding a lovely flavour to complement the pieces of chicken, tender scallop, prawns and the king prawn perched on top of the meal.
Price: Reasonable
Taste: Delicious
Value: Excellent
Recommendation: Recommend

If you're going to be down on the farm in Manchester, Tennessee this weekend, you're probably excited to see headliners including Elton John, Jack White, Kanye West, and Vampire Weekend among the many other established artists from a variety of genres playing Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. But one of the best things about Bonnaroo is mixed in with the biggest acts of any given year are a huge variety of up-and-coming new bands on the verge of making their break.
Even if you're not up for spending four days covered in mud and sweat, the festival's lineup is a great place to browse for new music. If you are attending the festival, don't spend all afternoon sleeping in and make some time to catch the earlier acts that may not get headline status. Either way, check back with Wall St. Cheat Sheet and follow me on Twitter to keep up with our special coverage of the festival.
Here's a list of five of the hottest new bands to come out in the past five years playing Bonnaroo 2014.

It could just be that you have different curl patterns throughout your hair... many do. I have the same thing actually. Another reason I think this can happen, for myself at least, is that I have shorter layers in the front, but my back is all long length so it's weighed down more. Also I've seen people say that certain techniques give them less curl in the back like plopping.
My Hair:
Fine, low porosity, med/high density
BSL - going for mid back to waist
HG: currently
just washing with a low poo that contains protein (Alba Naturals Coconut) and using Suave Naturals Coconut as both a RO and LI. No stylers right now, but this gives me pretty good curl, definition, low-ish frizz, and it feels and looks good. Also an occasional PT (liking the Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula which has cones) seems to be key for me.

I just got a Color LCD Shield for Arduino. Loaded the example code and library. Then I wrote a simple sketch that just displays analog channel 0.
The code and libraries work fine with UNO shield but do not work at all with MEGA. LCD does not show any output at all with same code that worked on MEGA (recomplied for MEGA).
Any suggestions? (Known issues with MEGA?)
No public wish lists :(

Mountain Men
Owing to its abundance of fur-bearing animals, Colorado and the West became favorite hunting grounds of the Trappers, or "mountain men," as they called themselves. These mountain men followed the two great waterways of the eastern part of the state-the Arkansas and the Platte Rivers. Accustomed to living alone or with a few trapping companions, they spent months at a time in the heart of the wilderness.
Among them were Christopher "Kit" Carson, Jim Baker, Richens Wootton, later known as "Uncle Dick," Tom Tobin, "Parson Bill" Williams, and James P. Beckwourth. These men were noted not only for their unusual skill as trappers and guides, but also for their courage as frontiersmen.
Jim Baker, a celebrated trapper and guide, was one of the best-known figures in Colorado in early days. He trapped for the American Fur Company, and later for himself as a free trapper. Jim first came to the Westminster area around 1856. Several years later he built a cabin at the foot of the bluff northwest of what is now Regis College and operated a toll ferry across Clear Creek with his two Indian wives Marina and Mary.
By 1865 Jim built a toll bridge over Clear Creek because of the dangers of the ferry when the water was high. A few years later Jim moved to Wyoming where he died in 1898. Jim Baker Elementary School, Jim Baker Reservoir and the Baker area are named in recognition of Jim Baker. There is a stained glass window in the State Capitol to honor him as being the first white man to come this far west and make way for the pioneers.

Nice tent for the money!
Reviewed By Steve C (MORGAN HILL, CA) Reviewed for a 2017 Ford F-150 —6/19/2017 11:29 AM
Set it up, and it seems to work great!

The tent is awsome! Fits beautifully in the back of the truck. Great quality and seems like it will last a long time. The only thing is the poles. Not one of the colors of the poles matched the directions. Took much longer than necessary to set up due to this flaw. I did mark the poles before I took it down so next time will be much faster. If it wasn't for this issue I would of given it 5 stars.

Roger K Snider Shoots Big Rig Glamour
June 24, 2014
Los Angeles-based advertising photographer Roger K Snider presents some behind-the- scenes shots of the latest Big Rig calendar shoot he did in the Midwest. Snider drove a three-ton grip truck from LA (3,200 miles round trip), flew in a glam team from New York City and featured a former Miss USA as one of the models for four of the images. Snider and team shot seven studio setups and seven location setups and had seven different women pose with the trucks. "I called the Film Commission in the town of Branson, Missouri last Christmas and got them on board to help us get the best locations in town including the Branson Landing Water Show as one of the spots," says Snider. The Chamber of Commerce loved the idea so much, they put his photo shoot on the list of events so that at 8 p.m. on a Saturday night, Snider drew a crowd of thousands who came and saw him and his team shoot two trucks in front of the flame and water show. See more advertising on Snider's site and check out his Ultra Rigs of the World.

Not really, but if your build date is prior to March 2005 the factory fill was certainly Dexron III A/T fluid.
When you drain it, you should be able to tell from the reddish color.
The xDrive fluid is a very light color.
It's not like other instances where there is a concern that some of the old fluid remains in passages and may be incompatible with the new fluid.
Opinions vary, but changing it about every 50K miles seems right.
The other concern is, for any model year, the factory fill for both the transfer case and the 2 diffs. (synthetic 75W90 gear oil) has been observed to be on the low side.
This may or may not have been a factor in the few cases of early transfer case and diff. problems (clunking, outright failure).
More likely just variances in how well the supplier assembled the gears at their plant.

You're reviewing: Prenatal Nutrients
- Great for energy Review by Toni
Found this product great, started taking as I found energy levels low during pregancy, these helped keep them level.
(Posted on 10/06/17)
- Great Multi Review by Amber
I purchased these after they were recommended by other mum friends. They are well tolerated and it is nice knowing I am supplementing my body to grow a healthy baby, especially during winter! I was taking Elevit (I used the 100 tablets), which was great being one a day and providing a higher amount of folic acid and iodine. Now I am in the second trimester I am very happy with Solar Prenatals and will get more when I am running low.
(Posted on 30/08/16)
- Too many tablets Review by Danielle
This is a good product from a well respected brand. It also came highly recommended to me by a naturopath. However, it is important to note that 2 of these tablets only provide 1/2 the folic acid and iodine as recommended by the Ministry of Health. You will therefore need to take additional folic acid andiIodine tablets. With chronic morning sickness I found taking 2 large Solgar prenatal nutrients plus a folic acid and an iodine tablet was more than my body could handle. Although they are more expensive I do enjoy the convenience of being able to take just one Elevit tablet daily and knowing that I am getting all the nutrients required for bubs and me. I wouldn't recommend these to other mums to be simply because of the lower doses of these essential vitamins.

- Very good Review by Naomi
These work really well. I can tell the difference when I don't take them. This brand is excellent!
(Posted on 5/05/16)
- Fantastic Review by Sarah
I have been taking these throughout my pregnancy as I have become a very picky eater. I like that whilst taking them I am still getting a reasonable amount of all the important vitamins and minerals, even though I cannot stomach most veges at the moment (so my diet is a lot more limited than normal). I have felt pretty good throughout, with little morning sickness and reasonable energy (though Im not sure how much of this is down to these tablets). Overall, I feel they are good for my piece of mind that whilst I might not be eating all my (vege) colours, the baby is still getting decent nutrition.
(Posted on 3/08/15)
- Fab Review by Simone
Used this an my last pregnancy and current one. They give me all the vits, minerals etc that other leading brands and are cheaper.
(Posted on 23/06/15)
- Good Source of all vitamins Review by Natasha
I find that these provide all of the recommended vitamins at a fraction of the price of Elevit. The tablets are quite large and I need to take them with food or they can make me feel sick.
(Posted on 21/06/15)
- Great option Review by Kim
These come recommended from every naturopath I have spoken too (3 in NZ and 1 in Ireland), and I have found them very easy to take. I am still taking additional Iodine and Folic Acid, but I appreciate that is comes so highly recommended as a good Prenatal Vitamin.
(Posted on 25/05/15)
- Excellent Review by Stacey
Really felt a difference when taking this product. A great energy boost
(Posted on 5/05/15)
- Great product and great service Review by Danni
I agree with the previous reviewers that I couldn't really feel any change in my body after taking this tablets for over a year now. it is a more of a mental thing for me knowing i'm doing the right thing to prepare my body.
I have to say the service from HealthPost is fantastic, although they've recently increased their price on this one, it is still cheaper than the physical stores in the mall. I will definitely buy again from here.

Regarding trends in business, a writer in the New York Times reported that "businessmen are coming to appreciate an education that at its best produces graduates who can write and think clearly and solve problems" (23 June 1981). A recent long-term study by the Bell Telephone Company determined that majors in liberal-arts fields, among which philosophy is a central discipline, "continue to make a strong showing in managerial skills and have experienced considerable business success" (Career Patterns, by Robert E. Beck). The study concluded that "there is no need for liberal arts majors to lack confidence in approaching business careers."
There are people trained in philosophy in just about every field. (Even Woody Allen was a philosophy major! Ever seen his movie Love and Death? From philosophical study comes genius in many forms.) Philosophy majors have gone into such professions as teaching (at all levels), medicine, and law; they have also pursued computer science, management, publishing, sales, criminal justice, and public relations, just to name a few. Philosophy majors at Hampden-Sydney are no different. Some professionally trained philosophers are also on legislative staffs. The work of some of them, for a senior congressman, prompted him to say:
It seems to me that philosophers have acquired skills which are very valuable to a member of Congress. The ability to analyze a problem carefully and consider it from many points of view is one. Another is the ability to communicate ideas clearly in a logically compelling form. A third is the ability to handle the many different kinds of problems which occupy the congressional agenda at any time. (Lee H. Hamilton, 9th District, Indiana, 25 March 1982)
The moral of the story: No matter what career you choose, philosophy can help you succeed.

Not a lot of people would immediately see the connection among these three seemingly distant topics – Real Estate, Roofing and Plumbing.
However, there is one obvious and glaring similarity among the three, and that is the fact that they can all be associated with a house, or any infrastructure that involves a roof and a plumbing system.
It all begins with real estate. Choosing the right property to invest in is very important, and beyond making sure that you hire a reputable agent to help you with your ordeals, you will also have to make sure that the property you plan to buy is in great condition and is worth the money you will have to pay for it. Part of the things you have to check when purchasing a house or any real estate property is the plumbing and roofing system of the building. These things can make or break the value of the establishment, and so, you have to be sure that you are getting your money's worth.
Roofing is important, not because it completes a home, but because it is the source of protection of your building. If your roof is weak, chances are, your property will dwindle in value in a quicker pace, all because you were not able to make sure that the roof – its source of security – is in great shape and is fully functional.
Plumbing, on the other hand, may seem like a minor problem but if not assessed and handled properly, it could lead to a lot of bigger problems. That is why, it is important that these things will be taken care of while they are still far from creating bigger disasters.
More and more information on these things will be discussed in this blog so go ahead and browse the page and learn something new today.

#1: Ouidad Carve and Slice
Hello, there may already be a discussion board about this, but I was curious to see what experiences people had with growing out a Ouidad Carve and Slice cut. I have 3C hair that I am growing out from a Brazilian Blowout done in Dec. 2010. I have been getting Deva cuts for a year (and CG since that time) and have not done a round brush blowout since Feb. 2011. My hair is growing, but is growing out to more of a pyramid effect. The Deva salon in my area is about an hour away with traffic, but a new Ouidad certified salon just opened up about 10 min. away. I have heard with the Ouidad cut, it is easier to round brush out, than with the Deva cut, but wondered what others thought. Thanks for any input!

Ang Lee's "Lust" gallops away with seven Golden Horses
By Doug Young
TAIPEI (Reuters) - Ang Lee's steamy "Lust, Caution" trotted off as the big winner on Saturday at the 2007 Golden Horse awards, the most coveted Chinese-language film prizes, picking up seven honors including best director and best film.
Despite its low profile in the West, the Golden Horse is a spectacular occasion for the Chinese-speaking world, with top talent from Taiwan, Hong Kong and China turning out each year for the red-carpet event in Taipei.
"Lust, Caution," the favorite going into the star-studded event, also helped Lee win the award for outstanding Taiwanese filmmaker of the year.
"This is for the lack of respect that Taiwan has gotten in the past," Lee said backstage, after getting the outstanding Taiwanese filmmaker award. "My point of view, my style are all from Taiwan. So I'm very much representing Taiwan."
"Lust" also won best leading actor honors for Hong Kong star Tony Leung Chiu Wei.
"Lust," Lee's most prominent Chinese-language film since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," won the Golden Lion at the Venice film festival, and had the advantage of much stronger publicity than its rivals.
The awards feature mostly films from Taiwan and Hong Kong. In addition to Lee and Leung, luminaries on this year's list included Hong Kong film star Aaron Kwok and China-born Joan Chen, who burst on to the movie scene in Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" in 1987.
Chen returned to the limelight at this year's Golden Horses, picking up the best leading actress award for her role in "The Home Song Stories." Continued...

"This was just the card we needed to send to family and friends for my son's graduation presents. I only used a photo with the words thank you on the front on the card. It was tasteful and just the right look."
"I ordered this thank you for my daughters first birthday and it was absolutely perfect. The quality was amazing and everyone just loved them."
"They look beautiful. I ordered thank you cards, but loved that I could change the caption to something more general and appropriate for my present."
"This card was smaller than I was anticipating (should have checked the dimensions), but the paper was thick and textured and the photo print quality was excellent. Would definitely recommend for a cute, quality thank-you card."
"I love postcards and I love simple to the point cards. This card allows me to say exactly what I want upload the picture I want and say what I want on the back! What more could you ask for?"

The United States has a new president whom most Republicans believed would not support the military and would act in an indecisive manner once in office. Secretary of Defense was asked on "Meet The Press" to compare the two men in terms of style. Gates noted, "I think that President Obama is somewhat more analytical. And, he makes sure he hears from everybody in the room on an issue. And, if they don't speak up, he calls on them." Gates believes that Bush was "interested in hearing different points of view, but didn't go out of his way to make sure that everybody spoke if they hadn't spoken before." Of course, another major difference is that Bush wanted to be surrounded by "yes" people who knew it was wise to repeat back what the leader had said or face the consequence of not being allowed in his presence.
Admiral Mullen commented that President Obama was "anxious to get the military's input to all his decisions." In the lead up to the disastrous invasion of Iraq, many American military leaders insisted they lacked sufficient troops in order to control Iraq but Bush listened to the noted military expert, Don Rumsfeld, and the rest is history.

Groups and Interests
Hard to believe, but if you are reading this (and you are a manufacturer in the United States) you are one of the lucky ones. We still consume, but we no longer build. How and why that happened is a story in its own right.
Manufactures - those that build things and contribute wealth to society suffer a myriad of problems because of our dishonest and fraudulent financial system. If the lost jobs and the future of manufacturing is to be reversed and improved, we will need to get back to an honest financial system that rewards honest work, provides low interest and stable exchange rates, and a living wage for workers.
Manufacturing jobs and employment:
With commodity money such as gold or silver, there is more investment in productive ventures; there are more and higher-paying jobs than otherwise. Because manufacturing is capital intensive, there are also more manufacturing jobs. With fiat, irredeemable paper ticket-token or electronic-checkbook money, there is less investment in long-term productive enterprise; there are fewer and lower-paying jobs.
The difference of course is that official inflation rates - albeit low - are only available to banks and related financial institutions. Manufacturers cannot borrow at these rates, and regular working class people shoulder rates on debt as high as 20-30%. There are very few businesses that generate enough profit to offset or justify the rates at which they can borrow money. Historically, the non-financial returns from manufacturers and others - i.e., productive businesses that benefit workers and contribute to the weath of our nation - are on the order of 6-7%.
Fiat currencies and the type of financial and monetary syste, we have now cause higher interest rates and a shorter investment-time-horizon, causing a decrease in manufacturing activity. Generally, there is an increase in the so-called service sector because it has a much shorter investment-time-horizon. A near zero interest rate today is not a market-driven event. It is blatant market manipulation by the Federal Reserve creating additional money out of nothing to buy bonds.
With fiat money - the kind of monetary system we have now - job security is impacted by rapidly changing interest and foreign exchange rates, and less of a propensity to save and invest for the long term.
We are working to bring more of this information to public awareness, and return our nation to the engine for jobs and prosperity we were known for. Historically this was a very important part of how America was viewed around the world. America was the land of opportunity. People came here, worked hard, and their families and the economy prospered. Better goods at cheaper prices, a living wage and a better future for our children.
As more people become aware of what happened, and how it happened, we can restore America to an honest and fair financial system. This is the magic of our democracy.
If you can help us with suggestions for this website, our message and research, or you have specific expertise working with students, please allow your voice to be heard. Please pray for our cause and our work, and please help return fairness, honesty and prosperity to our financial system.

I have a 1971 142E. After checking the wear pattern, we have pretty much concluded that the ring and pinion gears on my Dana 30 are pretty much toast (the mechanic suggested that if I didn't like the whine from the back end, I could turn the radio up - real loud). According to the info that I have (I haven't actually counted the teeth), the 142E had a 4.3:1 rear end.
I am having some trouble sourcing a new ring and pinion. Motive Gear lists a 4.27:1 and 4.56:1 ring and pinion set for the Dana 30 rear; however, their catalogue specifies 26 spline rather than 27 spline. So far, I have not been able to find any other sources. Does anybody know of a supplier for new ring and pinions for the Dana 30?

Laverne Antrobus visits rural South Africa to tell the story of the extraordinary Phelophepa Health Train.
The Phelophepa (meaning good, clean health) is a mobile clinic which weaves its way through rural South Africa bringing doctors, nurses and psychologists to a population which has approximately one doctor for every five thousand people. Owned and operated by South Africa's state freight rail company, Transnet, and funded by a variety of organisations and companies, the Phelophepa has twenty permanent staff who live on the train and up to forty medical students who come and go on placements.
Every week the train moves to a different location; as it pulls into a station hundreds of people are waiting, desperate to be seen. There are simple solutions like glasses which cure years of 'blindness', hearing-aids, walking-sticks, as well as psychological counselling. Often, because the queues are so long and the journey home too expensive, patients will sit outside the train all night so they are first in the queue the following day.
Several years ago Laverne - who works as a psychologist in London - volunteered on the train. She returned in 2012 as part of this documentary for Radio 4.
For the programme Laverne caught up with the Phelophepa in Alice, a small town in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. She met doctors, student doctors, and of course the patients; many leave having received the treatment they need, however the painful truth is that not everyone can be seen. Often the train has to pull away for the next town, leaving patients (who had travelled miles to be there) behind.
Producer: Karen Gregor.

Shayne Cohen notes in his Beginnings of Jewishness that "many gentiles in antiquity recognized that the God of the Jews was a powerful God" (142).
He cites the magical papyri that "routinely invoke the 'God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,' 'Iao Sabaoth,'" as well as "a disciple of the orator Herodes Atticus" who "quoted two verses from Deuteronomy 28 in the warning curse he included in the epitaph for his son. This gentile knew that a curse backed by the authority of the God of the Jews would likely be effective" (142).
Jewish writers told stories of gentile kings and other dignitaries who "witness some manifestation of the power of the God of the Jews and as a result venerate the God and acknowledge his power." Heliodorus was thwarted in his attempt to steal from the Jerusalem temple and as a result "bore testimony to all men of the deeds of the supreme God" (2 Maccabees).
In fact, "many gentiles incorporated the God of the Jews into their pantheon. In the Hellenistic and early Roman periods numerous dignitaries offered sacrifices or gifts to the God of the Jews at his temple in Jerusalem. Even Alexander the Great was said to have done so. . . . The theological meaning of the gesture was clear. . . . The Jews are a respectable nation, and their God is a respectable deity. An empire has many nations and many gods" (143).
Why not include Yahweh among them?

Walt Frazier, TV analyst for the New York Knicks' MSG Network, is the link between the two-time champions of 1970 and 1973 to the near-miss Patrick Ewing teams of the 1990's to the current Amar'e Stoudemire-led team that's fighting to reach the NBA playoffs.
"Clyde" has seen Knicks come and go. If the current club wants to jump to the next level they should swing a trade for Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets, he says.
"We're going to make the playoffs now. But trying to get to the next level, you need that one other guy. That would be Carmelo Anthony, I believe," said Frazier, during halftime of the Knicks 116-108 loss to the Clippers Wednesday.
The problem is the Nuggets want more than the Knicks are willing to give, he says and that gives other clubs like the Lakers to make a play for the Brooklyn-born Anthony. "It's a stalemate right now."
Frazier was impressed by Blake Griffin of the Clippers who scored 21 points Wednesday.
"Phenomenal, man. But he's doing it all on athletic ability," said Frazier. "Doesn't really know the game, doesn't have a shot. Once he gets that little mid-range jumper like Amar'e, he's going to be invincible, man."

got it. thanks.. I had someone else put the gas for me and I told them 91 or higher and when I looked at the receipt later on I saw that it was 88.
As funny as this may sound. Pump your own fuel wherever possible, that way you are always sure what grade the gas is. Unless you live in Oregon where I've heard pumping your own gas is illegal.
And if you do go to full serve station, watch the attendant to make sure they are using 91 or 93 octane.

Correct, we are not allowed to pump our own gas, though most attendants allow me to with my bike. I ALWAYS watch them to make sure they use premium, often wonder though how careful they are when removing the nozzle. I go to the same station, they all know my car so I can only trust...

It depends on if you're using the same math Congress uses....
