I am such a big fan of the sweet muslin swaddling blankets from Aden + Anais. Even I, the worst baby swaddler ever, can swaddle my baby with these blankets! We have a stack of them sitting on my dresser in my bedroom and it's the first thing I grab when it's time to put Marlow down to sleep.
I was so thrilled to discover they also make sleeping bags in that same cosy, soft muslin material. Marlow has graduated from the swaddle to the sleeping bags (see photo!) and it has made for a smooth transition. I also like how light-weight the sleeping bags are – perfect for the warmer months ahead.
x Courtney
Wish I could sew such a sleeping bag 🙂
This brand is the BEST for keeping babies swaddled and cute! My son always wiggled out of his swaddles, but this one kept him snug and he slept easier. Now at 3 we use them as light blankets. Great quality product that I like to give as gifts! I'll be looking for the bags now too, thanks for the post!
Sweet baby girl. That is a very pretty sleeping sack as well!
I agree with the above ladies- aden and anais blankets are the best! Sooo soft! Courtney, do yours like the sleeping bags as much as they liked the blankets?

Juanma honored in Puerto Rico!
Undefeated world champion Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez was named the Boxer of the Year for 2008 by the Puerto Rico Boxing Commission. Lopez won all of his four of fights last year in a combined five minutes and captured the WBO jr. Featherweight Championship in June with a spectacular first round knockout of champion Daniel Ponce de Leon.
"There are many great champions in Puerto Rico and is a real honor for me to have been given this award. I'm very happy and humbled to received such a prestigious award," said Lopez, who will defend his championship for the third time on April 25 in Puerto Rico against two-time world champion Gerry Penalosa.
Lopez stopped Jonathan Oquendo in three rounds to began 2008, then stopped in one round Ponce de Leon, Cesar Figueroa and Sergio Medina, winning, then twice successfully defending his 122 pound crown.
"I didn't know the success would be this fast for me, but my team always told I was ready and that why I must thank all my team for the great work they have done for me in such a short time. It has taken a lot of effort and sacrifice but it all has been worth it," said Lopez.
Other winners were Luis Cruz for most improved, Eril Morel, comeback of the year, Orlando Pinero as manager of the year and Alex Caraballo, trainer of the year for their work with Lopez.
World Champions Ivan Calderon, Daniel Santos and Roman "Rocky" Martinez were also honored.

I'm thinking to buy a new integrated amp and can't make a decision due to the limitation of having a chace to hear all of them.Which one do you think will sound best between: Unison Unico/ Unico P, Primaluna Prologue 1/2, Copland CSA 8, Exposure 2010S. Or should I go to Pre/power instead?
Follow Ups:
Very nice
I have one on order and the price was $3500. Bobby Palkovic (Merlin Loudspeakers) is the US distributor and told me when I ordered mine that the price was going to $4000 soon. He would be the one to speak with if you're interested. Very knowledgeable, loves to talk, and has a good ear.
I looked down at what you are trying to achieve, and although Ican't comment on the specific combination of components, I di actually own the Unico P.
I bought it to replace a beautiful Valvemark tube amp (Made here in australia) to gain a little more power but mainly that SS bass control/power combination.
Its a hybrid (as I am sure you know) and it gives me the best of both worlds as far as I am concerned. The SS grunt and the tube warmth.
I really really think its a good amp.
I picked up an ex demo model for a song and I haven't looked back.
If its power suits you and I think its underrated myself, then I would have no hesitation in this one.
by strongly suggesting either the Eastern Electric M520 or the Pathos Classic One MkII, both of which I have experience with. Both are excellent tube hybrid integrateds which would satisfy. The Pathos is a gorgeous unit with a "hands off" (i.e. minimal tube rolling - no muss, no fuss-) layout. The Eastern Electric is a tweaker's dream with five sets of tubes, pentode and ultra linear mode, as well as three settings for negative feedback to muck with. Take your pick of these two integrateds, and have good tunes for reasonable prices.
Will the Pathos be able to drive the Totem with ease? If I can't find the Make 2 used, is the Mark one ok? What are the differences?
I preferd my Valvemark for detail and warmth. The Unico (iom) knocks spots off the Pathos, although that is in MY system and its possible it would be different in yours.
What are your speakers and source/s? What do you listen to? What size room do you have? What kind of sound do you want to hear transparent and detailed or musical and rhythmic etc?
What do you current use for an amp'?
I'm using the Totem Arro and my source are Audiomeca Kreatura/Assemblage DAC 2.7 Platinum. The room size is 4 * 6 Meters. Usually listening to Jazz and orchestra and like smooth, detailed,big soundstage and transparent sound with some bass slam also. I'm using the Creek A43/P43 pre-power combo. So I'm considering to buy a power amp to pair up with the creek pre amp also but I think a good integrated sounds better (matching issue) than a pre-power combo.

The Role of Water Soluble Vitamins
Water-soluble vitamins are absorbed into the blood and cannot be retained within the body for prolonged periods of time. Whenever the levels within the blood become high these vitamins can be released into the urine. The water-soluble vitamins consist of the B vitamins and vitamin C.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is necessary for the formation of collagen for the development of cartilage, bone and the scar tissue that aids in wound healing. The vitamin C complex includes bioflavanoids, rutin (vitamin P) and other components not yet discovered. Vitamin C is necessary for the activity of white blood cells thereby making it vital for proper immune function. The vitamin C complex operates with vitamin E in carrying oxygen to the blood. It is also necessary for carnitine synthesis. Carnitine has been found to be helpful in heart ailments. Vitamin C also aids in the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Fruits or vegetables left unrefrigerated for days will lose the majority of the vitamin C initially present.
If vitamin C intake falls below 10 mg. per day a condition known as scurvy may develop. Signs of scurvy include bleeding gums, loose teeth, decaying teeth, easy bruising, skin discolorations, joint pain, and impaired wound healing. Deficiency is more readily observed in people with poor diets, alcoholics, drug abusers, institutionalized elderly, and also diabetics and some cancer patients.
Foods rich in vitamin C include papaya, oranges, cantaloupe, pineapple, parsley, beet greens, tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, turnip greens, collard greens, brussels sprouts, green peppers, grapefruit, kale, raw cabbage, lemons, limes and strawberries.
B Complex
So far 25 members of the B complex group have been identified. I will discuss the most studied in this section. They always occur together in nature whether they are found in plant or animal tissues. Some foods may have a greater concentration of a particular member of the B complex family, but all will be present in some amount. This group is essential for many actions such as: healthy nervous and immune system, digestive enzyme and insulin secretions, red blood cell production, healthy eyes, and the function of several organs and all glands of the body. The B vitamins are also important for the break down of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. The vitamin B complex assists the heart in maintaining its normal rhythm. B complex is better taken as a whole so as not create an imbalance in other members of the group. B complex taken in its natural state will contain necessary enzymes as well as all of the other factors that we presently have no knowledge of. According to nutrition researcher Dr. Royal Lee a natural vitamin B complex is between ten and fifty times more potent than the synthetic high potency complex.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)
This member of the B complex is responsible for normal functioning in all body cells. It breaks down fats, carbohydrates and proteins and converts excess carbohydrates to fat for storage. Cooking and refining aids in the destruction of B1. 95 % of the vitamin B1 supplements sold are synthetic forms of the vitamin (thiamine hydrochloride or thiamine mononitrate.). Animals can convert the synthetic form into a usable form; humans cannot and thereby require the natural vitamin in its complete from.
Foods rich in vitamin B1 include yeast, fish, lean pork, legumes, collard greens, oranges, whole grain products, organ meats and nuts.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Approximately 50 enzymes in the body use riboflavin. This vitamin is required for growth and development and for the production of hormones. It is essential for the formation of red blood cells and healthy eyes, skin, and hair. Large doses of synthetic riboflavin may result in numbness, tingling, or itching and the possible formation of cataracts.
Foods rich in vitamin B2 include beef, lamb, avocados, wheat germ, oysters, salmon, dark green leafy vegetables, milk products, eggs, meat and legumes.
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
The natural form of this vitamin also aids in the break down of fats, carbohydrates and protein. It improves function of the digestive tract and helps to form estrogen and testosterone. Vitamin B3 aids in the detoxification of several chemicals and aids in the formation of red blood cells.
Foods rich in vitamin B3 include tuna, rice bran, rabbit, oysters, prunes, kale, brown rice, wheat germ, peas, avocados, eggs, oats, rye, asparagus, halibut, beef, chicken, turkey, pork, and other meats.
Pantothenic Acid
Almost all plant and animal cells contain substantial amounts of pantothenic acid. It is essential in the formation of coenzyme A; which is vital for many different bodily functions. It plays a role in the breakdown of carbohydrates, protein and especially fats.
Liver, dried beans and peas, whole grains, wheat germ, dark green leafy vegetables, nuts, and eggs contain pantothenic acid. Royal jelly contains large amounts of pantothenic acid.
Deficiencies of biotin are rare as it is found abundantly in many foods. Intestinal bacteria also produce biotin. Deficiency of biotin (a.k.a. vitamin H) has been associated with hair loss, depression, anemia, muscle pain, hallucinations and nausea.
Foods rich in biotin include liver, whole grains, green leafy vegetables and egg yolks.
Folic Acid
This vitamin is reported to be the most commonly deficient vitamin in the world. Its responsibility is to maintain the genetic code of cells and transformation of chromosomes from one cell to another. During pregnancy the requirement for this vitamin doubles. Large doses of the synthetic vitamin can hide the symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.
Foods rich in folic acid include green vegetables, legumes, whole wheat, bran, almonds, walnuts, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes and liver. Keep in mind that cooking very easily destroys folic acid.
Vitamin B6
This member of the B complex is required for neurotransmitter production and for the formation of the protective sheath surrounding nerves. It is involved primarily in the building and the break down of proteins and amino acids. It also plays an important role in hormone and hemoglobin production. Synthetic forms (pyridoxine hydrochloride) taken in large doses may result in nervous system symptoms such as tingling in the arms, stumbling and lack of muscle coordination.
Foods rich in vitamin B6 include bananas, navy beans, walnuts, sirloin steak, salmon and light meat chicken.
Vitamin B12
This vitamin is required in small amounts for cell division and growth. It is the only member of the B complex to be stored in the body. It supports healthy nerve function. Vitamin C in doses in excess of 500mg or greater taken with or around meals can inhibit or destroy the vitamin. The only dietary sources of vitamin B12 are from animal products.
Foods rich in vitamin B12 include meat, poultry, fish, shellfish and eggs.

Nope, you're charged with murder, attempted murder, and aggravated battery. And to top it all off, your own lawyer is sayin' you only guilty of manslaughter...
Let's rewind... If you had a gun, ready to go, by the bed... maybe they wouldn't a got your guns and your money... maybe they'd have run off... maybe you'd have killed one and injured another IN YOUR HOME... Maybe you wouldn't have to buy a cheap lawyer who's sellin' you down the river...
He might get lucky... the jury might have pity on him... But probably not, since he told the sheriff he went after the BGs hoping to run into 'em... Do not talk to the police until you've talked to a Lawyer... A GOOD lawyer.
It could be worse!

What if you jump from your car, right before it hit them, cuz they had your gun pointed at you... Then your car did it, not you. You're all bashed up from the incident, so the jury takes sympathy. Get off with a slap on the wrist and be called a hero by the locals because these thugs had already murdered someone the night before.
...It could happen.
I don't know why the link didn't take... prolly my fault... here's a story on the case:
Beumer released on bail » Evansville Courier & Press
And another, earlier story
It could be worse!
I suppose
Not hypothetical, lol. I see...
I still say if he had bailed, he might have gotten off.
...Should have pleaded temporary insanity, or something. Not that I'm justifying the vigilantism.
I think it was
1. Stupid to follow them. Yes, he had good reason to, but not within the law.
2. Stupid of him to say anything at all to anyone (police included) after the crash, even muttering to himself. His statements probably have done more than any other evidence to get the higher charge.
But all of that is 20/20 hindsight and it is so easy to say that he shouldn't have done those things after the fact with no stake in any of it for us.

He should'nt have done that.
Looking from the outside in I can see how stupid what he did was.
Won't judge though.
he was wrong, the treat of harm was gone and it was revenge then to use deadly force to attack even though they robbed him; he became the aggressor and not the victim
Yeah, that's at least manslaughter in NC, if he's lucky. He needs to listen to his mouthpiece now. In NC, you or somebody else must be in imminent danger of loss of life, serious injury, or sexual assault. As such, it's hard to justify shooting somebody in the back or running over them in your car.
This is why you don't talk to the Police without an Attorney and why aren't the three home invaders charged with felony murder?

Whole lotta stupid goin' on.
When they left, it was the end of the incident. He initiated a new one, killed someone, and will pay dearly for it.
His wife should've called 911 as soon as she realized suspicious activity in the home instead of waiting for her husband to tell her to do so.
His lawyer isn't selling him down the river, he's explaining what's going to happen to his client. No matter how good or expensive a lawyer is, they can't fix stupid.
He's gonna wish he lived in Tx

Can't say I wouldn't have wanted to do the same thing if I were robbed, pistol whipped and one of my loved-ones threatened.
Makes a great case for pre-emptive anger management.

Lucien Castaing-Taylor, Véréna Paravel
Brian Jannelle, Adrian Guillette, Arthur Smith, Asterias Vulgaris
(Cinema Guild)
US theatrical: 1 Mar 2013 (Limited release)
Water. There's lots of it in Leviathan. Set on board a groundfish trawler out of New Bedford, Massachusetts, the documentary shows water in myriad modes, water rough and roaring, sloshing and crashing, relentless. Water here is dark and ever in motion. Water slips onto the deck, slams into raincoated human figures, sprays from shipboard showerheads, bears fish. It fills the frame, so that no horizon line is even imaginable.
You see water from long distances, stretching across the screen into a disappearing horizon. You see water up close, splashing onto the camera lens, distorting your sight. Or, maybe not distorting so much as refining and reframing. For this is a film that offers a range of perspectives even within a single shot, presenting the sea as simultaneously gorgeous and daunting, thrilling and mundane.
That Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel's film does all this while granting precious little conventional access to the men who fish the sea and work with the wind is remarkable in its own way. You see men in fishing gear, certainly, in boots and coats and rubber pants, you see their tattoos, their muscled arms handling nets, dumping fish from nets into pens and buckets, slicing fish bodies so their bright red blood combines with the sea water, so that all of it turns shades of red.
You see faces too, bearded and weathered. The boat's captain, identified as Brian Jannelle, identified only in the closing credits, appears a few times. In this, he becomes familiar, at least compared to the other men, who may glance into the camera once, or pass by with hooded head bent over his work. But even as Jannelle looms over the boat's wheel in one shot, or gazes at an off-screen TV in another (as an infomercial's voiceover describes the risks of indigestion and "constipation that comes and goes"), he remains as unknowable and as awesome as any other living being in the film. Like the seagull you watch clamber and scrape inside a rocking bucket, urgently seeking fish flesh to pick at, and like the fish who flop and splat on deck, the men on board are in motion, brutal and inexorable.
And so Leviathan illustrates—or alludes to—its title, in images too large and too close for you to fathom wholly. Filmed over months, with the help of the Sensory Ethnography Lab at Harvard, the film documents experiences, but rather than pulling narrative from them, allows them to linger on screen as such, translated to two dimensions, but not reduced, exactly. For the film also tells a story about what films do (or can do), how they mold beginnings and ends, how they offer cause and event, how they invite viewers to share, or maybe just to invest. Here, again and again, the waves are loud and huge, so the boat seems boat small in comparison; some tight frames might reveal blood drips on a bird's beak, some profoundly long shots can't even try to encompass a moment, but let it recede and fall away, wavelike and also, like wavelike: films mimic and interpret, films guess. And so you see, sometimes, a sea that's dark and huge and roiling, so extended beyond the frame that you have to guess what's out there.
The size of images in Leviathan is another question, how a fish head, cut off and rolling loose on a deck, might loom as a gargantuan image, gills seeming to move, still, might be as mesmerizing on this wide screen as a shot of the deck from overhead, where the men and masts look small. Laying these distinctions alongside one another so they might be compared and also fall into one another. In the process, or in processing, you might also think about how you come to your conceptions of the sea, of fishing, or devastatingly hard work. What do you know of water at this scale, save for images like these, but never quite like these? The film offers industry, broadly defined, in the form of machines that grind and sheer numbers of fish that are caught and cut up. And it offers detail, the effect of the wind on a turned cheek or flapping pants, the sound of the wind that never ends, and the different sound of underwater, glugging, muffled, pressured, the sound here made both familiar and utterly unknown. Above water, life on the boat is harsh, the days and nights continuous, the thundering and soaring concurrent. The film is also respectful, suggesting more than confirming, leading you to imagine more than assuring your understanding. And in this, Leviathan may be most like the boat you're seeing, the boat that rides atop crests and careens through water, that pitches in wind and carries men, men with cigarettes and thick gloves and also lives you'll never know.
Noisy, resilient, and also utterly unshaped, the water that fills the film is introduced with an epigraph from Job 41, evoking the poetry and also the fineness of creation, as well as the work:
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
Leviathan goes on to ponder these words in images. You might wonder who makes and who is made. Or how any making at all persists, in the face of destruction, in the wake of commerce. The deep inspires fear, even as it does more making.

" Brand: Clinique / Type: Body Care / Subcategory: Body Spray / Suitable for: Body / Type: Anti-Blemish / What it does: blemish control "
I have always considered myself to be very fortunate when it comes to blemishes and spots; at worst I may get one or two small ones but generally my skin has always been clear. To my horror, the months after giving birth to my sons I started to notice spots on my back. This was only around 2 or 3 at a time but these were looking very red and made me feel very self-conscious. I've always been a beauty junkie as are my friends so I was lucky enough that I could be pointed in the direction of a product that would help with this; Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray.
*** Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray***
The Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray is part of the "Anti Blemish" range by Clinique. Specifically it is an oil free formula that helps reduce redness and clear blemishes on the body. This includes the back, chest and shoulders.
The Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray is available at Clinique counters in department stores such as John Lewis, Debenhams and House of Fraser and also Boots. It is also available online from www.feelunique.co.uk.
If you shop around you will be able to save some money however when I purchased this product from Boots it was £13.00 for a 100ml spray bottle.
The Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray comes in a small circular spray bottle. This is a light blue bottle with a white pump spray lid, and a clear blue lid to go over the pump spray. You do need to push this lid on tightly as I have found it comes off easily. It is a nice compact bottle which fits into a toiletries bag easily so can easily be taken with you if you are travelling.
The directions for use are to use daily after bathing or showing. Once skin is dry you spray the product onto the area that you want to treat. I was using this solely on my back therefore was probably using at most 4 sprays of this product. One on each shoulder and one on each side of my back just under my shoulder blades. This was very easy to do as the spray functions perfectly upside down, even when the bottle has very little product left in it.
The spray when applied to the skin just feels very wet. It is not oily or greasy feeling and just like water has been sprayed on your back. It does dry very quickly and within 2 minutes it has completely dried so you are able to get dressed. There is no residue left on the skin once the product has dried. The only issue I did have when applying was the scent. This is quite a strong medicated scent very much like antiseptic. This does fade however I was slightly conscious that after showering my skin now had this medicated scent to it. After asking my friends to test this claim this scent can only be detected by others if they actually are up close to your skin and sniff it and cannot smell it if they are just standing next to you!
There were no real immediate effects after using the Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray. After applying the spray felt cool and very soothing on the four red spots on my back but at this point I did not notice a real difference. However after only 2 days of using this (2 applications) I did feel that the spots were looking less red and angry but did still have a raised appearance. Over the next week using daily I could notice these spots disappearing and getting smaller (and feeling like they were drying out). After a week of using this product daily the spots were completely gone and the skin where they previously were was looking clear.
I carried on using the product after showing daily. After using for a month the skin on my back was feeling and looking very smooth and soft and it was completely clear from blemishes and no new breakouts of spots had occurred.
After just over a months' worth of use spraying liberally the spray was empty. I did not continue using the product and suffered no new breakouts since.
In my case I feel a large factor in the cause of the blemishes was a change in hormone levels so I am unsure as a preventative measure how effective this product is, although after using this product for a month no new breakouts of spots or blemishes occurred which I do feel is impressive.
However as a treatment I think the Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray was brilliant and I would definitely rate this product. Within 2 days of using this spray all four of the very red, large angry spots on my back had lost their redness and they were looking smaller. Within a week they all had gone completely and the skin on my back was looking smooth and clear and there was no sign that the spots had every existed.
The price tag may be off putting to some because at £13.00 it does appear expensive, but this is a very effective product and actually lives up to its claims. Top marks for a top product!
I'm a Blemished Encrusted Monster!!!
For as long as I can remember I've suffered with blemish prone skin, particularly on my back and more recently on my chest. I always thought my skin would grow out of these unattractive red blotches and one day I'd reach maturity and would have perfect soft, gorgeous blemish free skin. But alas I'm 27 and my skin is still as spot prone as when I was17!
Anyone who suffers with blemishes will know how soul destroying it can be. I avoid wearing vest tops and spend ages trawling the shops for suitable clothes that cover my back but still look sexy and stylish for a night out. I'd become incredibly self-conscious and lacked personal confidence. I'm not sure why I've let my blemishes ruin my life for so long before taking action but maybe it was because I didn't believe there was a solution. I tried various spot creams but nothing really helped and some even made my blemishes worse, causing them to flare up and look even redder and nastier. So I became resigned to the fact I had blemish prone skin and instead concentrated on wearing clothes that hid my unsightly back.
A Solution???
But recently I was in Boots and browsing the Clinique counter. I love Clinique make-up and was just nosying at what other products they offer. The "Anti-Blemish" range instantly caught my eye and in particular the Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray. The assistant noticed by perusal of this product and approached me, and so followed a discussion about happy customers who highly rated the body spray and were impressed with the results. Still somewhat dubious and with the distinct feeling I'd just fallen for a well-rehearsed sales pitch I bought it! Costing £12.72 for a 100ml spray I was hoping I hadn't wasted my money.
Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray professes to be an oil-free formula that helps clear and prevent blemish breakouts everywhere (back, chest, shoulders) as well as reducing the look of redness. For me, it sounded a miracle cure!
How do I use it???
I use this product once a day after showering. Applying it is easy because of the 360 degree spray action which even works upside down. This makes it possible to spray the product evenly over my back myself, rather than needing someone else to do it for me. I spray 4-5 times to ensure a generous covering over the top half of my back, 1 spray on each shoulder and 2 sprays across my chest.
There is a very, very slight clinical smell to the spray, typical of medicated spot products. But it is barely noticeable and isn't long lasting. The spray feels cold and wet when it first hits the skin, like a fine mist of water but within a couple of minutes it dries. Once dried it feels slightly tacky to touch, but I notice like the smell, this soon fades and you can't tell you have the solution on. I get dressed within 5 minutes of applying it and this is fine as it doesn't stain.
So is it Bye Bye Blemish Encrusted Monster???
YES IT IS!!! Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray has done what it promised and cleared by blemish prone skin!!! It is a miracle!
I have been using it once a day for 3 weeks now and almost straight away noticed the improvement it had on my skin. Existing blemishes appeared noticeably less red and within a few days they had disappeared altogether and I have had no new breakouts. For the first time in as long as I can remember my back is spot and pimple free. My skin feels soft and looks radiant and I am glowing with body confidence! This product has led me to feel self-assured and proud of my skin and I feel able to wear the tops I've always wanted to with poise.
I can't recommend it enough to anyone who suffers blemishes. Clinique has excelled and created a gem of a product and the £12.72 price tag now seems like a bargain! I'll be buying this item time and time again - and adding it to my list of things I want from Santa!
Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Body Spray
Clinique is one of the world's largest suppliers of prestige makeup and fragrance products. It was launched by Estee Lauder Companies in August 1968. I have always viewed Clinique as an upmarket product and one that is known to have a very good reputation. It is more expensive than other makeup and skin care ranges but I always hear good things about it and that it actually works so sometimes it is worth paying more for something that produces results.
I was actually prompted to try this anti-blemish spray after reading a review here on Dooyoo. Unfortunately I get a few spots now and again on my chest and back which are not that nice and quite unsightly so I am always on the lookout for products that will get rid of them. The review I read had helped the person with their spots so I decided to try it and also the fact that Clinique is such a good name, I was hopeful that it would work.
After reading their website I was more hopeful too. Apparently their anti blemish solution formulas are based on the experience of Clinique's guiding dermatologists. They have consulted doctros who have treated thousands of patients and given Clinique their unique insight into the causes of blemishes. Clinique say that it's not just how your skin looks and feels, but how you feel about your skin.
I bought the spray from their website and 100ml cost me £12.72. You can buy their products in Boots and department stores too. The spray comes in a bottle and has a spray cap feature at the top. Clinique describe it as, "an oil free spray formulated specifically to treat hard-to-reach areas. Helps clear and prevent breakouts. Unclogs pores, controls oil, visibly reduces redness, non, staining.
The spray is very easy to use. They recommend that you use it after cleansing skin so I always put it on after having a shower. I use it once a day but they do say that you can gradually increase use to two or three times a day if needed. I don't feel like I need to sue it that much. You spray it onto the affected area and then leave it to dry. It dries in a minute or so, it's quite quick. What's great is that the spray mechanism enables you to use it up-side-down so you spray it onto your back, behind your back and reach all the areas that you want to.
The spray probably has a little bit of a chemical smell but it's not very strong at all and it disappears pretty much as soon as you have applied it. Once the liquid is dry you can feel it on your skin. It makes my chest feel a little bit clammy or sticky but after an hour or so this feeling disappears too and saying that it's not so bad, it's doesn't make your skin greasy or anything like that.
Well, the result is so far so good. I have definitely noticed a marked difference in the appearance of my skin and am hardly getting any breakouts at all. I am extremely pleased with this product and would definitely recommend it and continue to use it.
Clinique are a well known brand for make up, perfume and other skin care products. Their items are quite pricey and are a lot more expensive than standard make up made by Maybelline or makes such as Rimmel, etc. You will find Clinique skin-care counters in Boots, House of Fraser and Debenhams store. There is normally always an advisor to help you with products and recommendations. (These are the people who normally wear huge amounts of make up, no offence or anything, but the people who work behind these counters are very easily spotted due to the amount of products they use!)
I am one of those unfortunate people who suffer from an oily back and get a spot here and there on my back which makes me really cringe. I can't bear to wear backless or low back tops because I feel really embarrassed. I read a review about this product and it sounded good, I was willing to try out this product. I have never seen any other products like this and thought I may as well give it a go, especially as it may help prevent spots appearing on my back, then maybe I might actually be able to wear those gorgeous summer tops.
This is a convenient spray formula which is oil free and helps to prevent breakouts on the back, chest and shoulders. This spray helps control oil and reduces the look of redness. The Convenient 360 degree spray even works upside down for easy application.
This bottle comes in 100ml and cost me £12.72, which I purchased from boots. I would think prices would be roughly the same where-ever you get this product from. The bottle comes in a posh green box with silver embossed writing on the front. On the back of the box it lists what the spray is for and how to use the spray.
When taking the bottle out of the box, it is a light green colour with a plastic lid. There is silver writing on the bottle and again tells you how to use the product.
Cleanse skin thoroughly and start using once a day. Spray product over affected area and gradually increase to using product twice a day if needed. If any dryness occurs, reduce usage.
You can't actually smell what the spray is like until you actually use the product. This product is very easy to spray over the chest, shoulders and back area. The spray works very well upside down and is great to spray the back area, if you can't quite reach. I managed to spray a nice amount over my back, shoulders and chest area. I wouldn't say the smell is pleasant. The smell reminds me a bit like witch hazel, or medicated solutions. This must be from the ingredients they have used in this product as it is 100% fragrance free. The spray is cold when it first goes on, but doesn't take long to dry.
This spray does not stain so you can get dressed straight after, but I thought I would let it dry just to be sure. It only takes a few seconds to dry. My skin feels slightly tacky/sticky, but I wouldn't say this was unpleasant at all. I certainly didn't feel like I needed a bath or shower again anyway!!
I have been using this spray for about 4 weeks now and it does really work. I haven't had ANY blemishes or spots appear on my back since I have been using this product. After using it once a day for about 4 weeks, there is still a bit left in the bottle which I think will probably last another 2 weeks at least.
The entire Anti-Blemish Solutions Range is based on the experience of Clinique's guiding dermatologists. Their insight from treating of thousands of patients has given them a unique understanding of the causes of blemishes and the solutions that make a difference. Not just in how skin looks and feels, but in how you feel about your skin.
Clinique's Anti-blemish formulas:
* Treat breakout-prone skin with highly effective ingredients.
* Help clear and prevent blemishes
* Help reduce the appearance of redness of blemishes
* Soothe irritated skin
* Help visibly fade the signs of past breakouts
* Work to control oiliness
* Are allergy tested and 100% fragrance free
* Are appropriate for all skin types.
The following products are also available in the Anti Blemish range:
* Anti-blemish Cleansing Foam - This is step 1 of the Anti-Blemish system which removes dirt and unclogs pores to help prevent spots and acne. Skin feels soft, smooth and comfortable. (Price - £12.72 for 125ml bottle)
* Anti-blemish Clarifying Lotion - This is step 2 of the system which contains a gentle formula to exfoliate and reduce excess oil that can lead to breakouts. This also soothes irritation and redness. (Price - £15.66 for 200ml bottle)
* Anti-blemish Clearing Moisturiser - This is step 3 of the Anti-Blemish system which helps treat existing blemishes, prevent future break-outs and controls excess oil. (Price - £14.68 for 50ml tube)

* Anti-blemish Clear Blemish Gel - Is a fast drying gel which helps to clear blemishes and promote healing. (Price £11.74 for 15ml bottle)
I think this product is fantastic and will definitely be a product that I continue to use. I have had no blemishes on my back, and my back doesn't feel as oily as it did before I started using this spray. II only need to sue this spray once a day and I haven't experienced any dryness or irritation to my skin at all. As this product is so good, it would definitely tempt me to use the other product in this range as well.
(review also on ciao)
I have suffered with spots (ugh!) on my back for year's now. In my teenage years I suffered from bad acne and now, in my twenties, I do still get the occasional blemish, and I still get a few on my back, neck and shoulders.
With them being in such awkward places I've never bothered treating any big painful spots as if I do use one of those 'instant spot treatment gel' products that are everywhere on the market then it'd just get rubbed off by my clothing.
I had started using a couple of products from Clinique's Anti-Blemish range and I discovered this product.
What it Claims to do:
The product description states it the spray is an oil-free formula which 'helps clear and prevent breakouts everywhere-back,chest,shoulders.' This is exactly the sort of product which I need, 'great!' I thought. Reading on it states it helps control the look of redness, which sounds perfect for that painfully large ones I often get only on my back! The bottle itself has a 360-degree spray which even works upside down, and has a non-staining formula.
How To Use:
Clinique say to start out using once a day. Cleanse the skin thoroughly and spray over the affected area. It then says to gradually increase to twice a day if needed.
My Experience:
Despite the product stating it has a non-staining formula I didn't want to test this out at first and so only applied this at night before I went to bed. I found the product very easy to use and it does work upside down so it's perfect to reach round behind me to spray.
I usually do a few sprays making sure each area is covered, and I do some around my collarbone.
It does have a slight witch hazel smell to it but nothing disgusting.
The spray is very quick to absorb, but I would wait a few minutes before getting dressed just to be sure.
In the morning I would notice my back feeling like it had an extremely slight sticky feeling to it, almost like the filmy type feeling you get when you use spot treatment gels.
Since using this product the large painful spots have dramatically decreased in occurance which is great, however I do still get alot of pimpley type ones. This doesn't bother me as it was the large painful ones that annoyed me the most!
The bottle itself has lasted me many months (approx. 7-8) using it 4-5 times a week, so it's rather good value for money. It will set you back £12.72 for 100ml at the moment which is expensive, but it does last a long time. I have recently ran out and I'm contemplating whether or not to buy it again, I may see if my back suddenly starts breaking out!
If you suffer from spots on your back and are paranoid about wearing strappy tops in the summer then I would say give this one a go. It's very easy to apply and it lasts a long time. I don't know of any other products like this on the market except body washes to use in the shower, so this is a quick and simple solution.
I would recommend this product.
For years I suffered with spots on my back and occasionally on my chest. I was getting very self conscious about this, especially in the summer. They weren't just small pimples either, oh no! They were big spots which were often painful. Apart from looking horrible when they were there I was also worried about scarring. I didn't want to have to spend the summer not being able to wear strappy tops so i decided to take action.
My Dad goes to the States quite a lot and while looking on the Clinique website for some goodies or him to bring back, I came across this. It looked like the answer to my problems, but was it?
The claims about the product are 'Oil-free formula helps clear and prevent breakouts everywhere. Convenient 360˚ spray works even upside down. Perfect for hard-to-reach places.' This is taken directly from their website, so lets see if it manages to match up.
This spray has an RRP of £13. I get mine from the states where its around half the price so if you travel - wait until you're abroad to stock up! I'm sure that you could find it on Internet sites for less than the RRP. Clinique is available in most department stores, like John Lewis and Debenhams and also in places like Boots. These places always seem to have the spray in stock when I check. Can I also recommend buying Clinique products at Bonus Time, when you get a free gift!
In a word, YES!! This stuff is really amazing!
The bottle says that you can apply once or twice a day. I only apply once a day and find that this is enough. I apply in the morning after I've had my shower and dried myself. The spray is very easy to use, it has a pump action. It can also spray from all angles (including upside down) which is very useful when you are trying to spray your back! I usually do two sprays on my chest and about six on my back. The spray has a slightly clinical smell but it does not linger. The spray is absorbed quickly, although I would wait a couple of minutes before getting dressed.
Within a couple of weeks of using the spray my back was almost clear. I have been using it for six months now and although I get the occasional spot, its always just one on its own, not a whole load across my back like it was.
A couple of weeks ago I had a spray tan done and stopped using the spray for about 10 days (was paranoid that they might react together and leave me with a lovely patchy tan!). My spots began to creep back, which shows that this spray is not a cure. It seems that once you use it you have to keep using it to keep a clear back (good for Clinique's finances). However, it does not claim to be an acne cure, so I'm still a happy customer.
A bottle lasts me around three months (spraying once a day). It's not cheap but I think its a price worth paying for something that works this well.
You can probably tell from the review what my answer will be but here it is anyway - yes, definitely recommended. The product works and I wouldn't be without it. Here's to the summer and all those strappy tops!
Spray over affected area and allow the Oil-free formula clear and prevent breakouts everywhere /

Speaking of the full moon, I went out to open the door to the chicken house this morning and put food/water in their feeders before the sun was up (little b-4 5:00 AM), and normally I need my flashlight when I go out that early, but the moon was still out and shining so bright that it completely lit my path so I left the flashlight on the porch.

Gone - ROAK: 3-4 Assassin Snails and plants in Evanston, IL (PICKUP ONLY)
All gone
They're free to whoever wants them.
Edit: Just to clarify, this is for PICKUP ONLY. I'm busy with finals and don't have time to be shipping things.
Still available.
I'll throw in some Anubias, a golfballs worth of xmass moss, needle leaf java fern and even some Flame moss too if you're interested. I need to clear out some things before I go home for winter break.
Woohoo on finals! I really hope they go swimmingly! (I'm not British, but I love that term :-P )
I'm half british so I can appreciate the usage of that term.
The cholla wood you sent me as a ROAK looks is doing very well in my tank by the way. Here's a pic of my tank from a few weeks ago. It's still fairly new and a work in progress. I like the left side though :)
Pm sent
Still available.
I'm still intrested I just got done cycling two tanks..
Enjoy the snails/plants Frogman.
Thanks Aben,great stuff and for being patient , that was a nice little coffee shop for a miserable Chicago afternoon.Enjoy FL before coming back, as you know it only becomes worst!

Citation: Bassett, C.L., Dardick, C.D., Gasic, K., Fisher, K. 2010. The peach dehydrin family is small relative to all other sequenced plant genomes. American Society of Horticulture Science Meeting. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Recent advances in genomic sequencing technology have allowed the addition of a number of crops to the growing list of completely sequenced genomes. We have analyzed the peach genome for the dehydrin gene family and compared its members to the genomes of Arabidopsis, poplar, apple and rice. This comparison suggests that peach has about half the complement of dehydrin genes found in the other genomes surveyed. Whereas, Arabidopsis has ten genes encoding bona fide dehydrins, and poplar, apple and rice all have nine dehydrin homologs, peach has only five identified on the basis of signature sequences, i.e. the K domain, and conserved regions, e.g. the Y domain and the serine tract. Expression analysis of the peach dehydrin genes compared to those in rice and Arabidopsis indicates that some functions have been preserved between peach dehydrins and their homologs from other species, while other peach dehydrins have evolved to fill overlapping roles in response to abiotic stress exposure.

This pericope provides a general description of the ideal characteristics and behaviour of the earliest Christian community. It also serves as an introduction to the next few chapters that go into more detail on the early church in Jerusalem (probably through to 6:7). There are no specific details given in this introduction for example about which believers were involved or how many believers were being added. This is in contrast to the pericopes immediately before and after that do contain more details along these lines. We know from later in Acts that what is being described in general terms here occurs in specific cases (4:36-37) and that not all members of the community shared the same motivations and ideals (Ch 5).

An outline of Mark's references to Jesus' self awareness of the nature and purpose of his death
- 2:5-7. Jesus forgave sins. Only God can do that. The Old Testament presents a model of forgiveness of sins associated with a sacrifice. I think Jesus here is foreshadowing the sacrifice of himself for the forgiveness of sins (Hebrews 7:27).
- 2:20. Jesus expects to be taken away from his disciples, in circumstances causing fasting/grief.
- 8:31, 9:31, 10:33. Jesus expects that he will die and rise again.
- 8:33. 14:36. Jesus taught that the path he was on towards death and resurrection was God's will.
- 8:34-38. He taught that his act of sacrifice and losing his life was a pattern/path for believers to follow
- 9:1, 14:25, 14:62. Jesus expects that through/after his resurrection that he would come into the kingdom of God in some kind of fuller/more powerful way
- 10:33. Jesus expected to be betrayed by his own, condemned by Jews and killed by Gentiles.
- 10:45. Jesus taught that giving his life would be an act of service and function as means of a random.
- 14:8. Jesus told them that is good to prepare for his burial.
- 14:22-25. Jesus taught that his life would be 'poured out' for many.
1 Kings 11
Despite enjoying peace and prosperity (wisdom, wealth, and wives) as blessings from God, Solomon breaks the covenant with his attitude and actions incurring the just (but merciful) punishment of God.
Purpose (my reflections):
- Consequences for disobedience are real. The stakes are high. God is serious. Sin is punished
- Attitude and action maketh the man
- Even the greatest splendor without God is a filthy worthless rag (What does it profit a man to gain the world but forfeit his soul?)
2 Samuel 7
Main point
The sovereign almighty LORD does not need or want David to build him a house. Instead, God will build his own house (13) through the house he will build for David (11b).
Main purpose
God does not need man, but we need God, and he has already done, and will do, all we need (cf. Acts 17:24-31). So let's join with David in praising Him and praying, 'Your will be done'. Continue reading "2 Samuel 7" »
Mark 13 summary
In verses 1-23 Jesus predicts the destruction of the temple and describes the signs of the end of the age. The disciples ask the obvious question – when will this happen, and what will be the signs beforehand so that we can be prepared? In a parallel passage in Matt 24, the disciples ask more specifically regarding the sign of Jesus' coming and the end of the age. It may be that the disciples considered these things closely related. In Jesus' response, he indicates that the destruction of the temple will be one of the signs of the end times, along with natural disasters and political events such as wars.

Located in Plattsburgh, NY, "Happy Days IV" is a truly turn-key vessel that has NEVER seen salt water!
A good argument could be made that the Carver 346 Motor Yacht has about as much on-board living space as you're likely to see on a 34 foot aft cabin motor yacht. The vast interior of the 346 is not to be denied. Built on a beamy modified V-hull with cored hullsides and a solid fiberglass bottom, the impression of space in the full-width salon is enhanced by large cabin windows. The galley is down in this layout, separated from the salon by a serving counter, and both staterooms contain double berths. Cherry woodwork is found throughout the entire interior and both heads boast separate stall showers. Outside, the aft deck has more than enough room for furniture, and the flybridge is arranged with a wet bar, a L-shaped lounge, and seating for three at the helm. This boat is completely equipped with full canvas, aft hardtop, carpet package, upgraded engines, radar, autopilot, GPS, VHF, plotter, and more.
Professionally maintained, and needing nothing, this vessel has it all!!

"Awesome! The marinade flavors the meat to perfection with no need to baste further! Served the reserved marinade as a sauce! I did not use the stir-fry sauce because I did not want the added sugar and other additives. It still came out delicious! Will definitely make this again."

Department of Mathematical Sciences > Study programmes > PhD program > PhD calls - how to apply
PhD calls
The usual entry level for our (3 years) PhD program is a Master's Degree. Besides having the appropriate entry level degree, to become a PhD student at our department you need first of all:
- a stipend to cover your living expenses (your salary) and the fees (taxameter) to the university (currently DKK 80,000 per year),
- to be admitted to the PhD school at the Faculty of Sciences,
The department offers a number of PhD stipends every year. Many of them are tied to external grants within specific research areas, but we aim to have a few stipends that are not tied to any external funding.
We have calls for applications to all our available stipends twice a year, with deadline beginning of December and April, respectively. The calls will be announced here in November and March.
If you have obtained financial support from other sources to do a PhD in Copenhagen, then you only need to worry about item 2 above, but we recommend that you also in this case submit an application to one of our PhD calls (indicating that you already have financial support).
The applications for the PhD calls will be evaluated by the research committee (Forskningsudvalg) of the department.
If you have been offered a stipend through one of our PhD calls, Item 2 above is usually just a matter of form (see After accepting a PhD stipend).
All candidates with a foreign (= non-Danish) Master's Degree must have an official evaluation, a so-called IU assessment, of their degree issued by a government agency, Danish Agency for International Education. It is less hassle than it may sound! Ask Nina Weisse to help you with this. It is a good idea to get this assessment as early as possible. You can apply for this assessment before you know if you are awarded a stipend, but not before you have completed your Masters Degree.

Some Conservatives Favor Assault Weapons Ban
Michael Savage and William Kristol are among prominent conservatives who have come out favoring a ban on assault weapons, in light of the tragic mass shooting in a Colorado movie theater last Thursday night.
"Common sense would dictate that there should not be drum magazines for sale to the public," conservative talk radio host Michael Savage said on Friday, in commenting on the weaponry James Holmes used to go on his murder spree. "Where in the world is it written that an average citizen should be able to buy a drum magazine that holds 100 rounds of ammunition? That's a military drum, that's for military use only."
Noting that he is a gun owner, Savage went on to say that "the country has no right to allow any single individual, [who is] not a member of a police force, to buy a drum magazine."
Savage also blamed prescription drugs, violent Hollywood films and the National Rifle Association (NRA)'s "demanding no control whatsoever on any weaponry" for the shooting that left at least 12 dead and dozens wounded. Using an anti-White racial slur, he also harshly dismissed rationale for maintaining stocks of weapons as "cracker stuff."
The following Monday after blaming the 2nd Amendment for the Batman shooter's armor and guns, Savage was mysteriously absent from his talk radio duties. Instead, fill-in host Jeffrey Kuhner claimed personal responsibility ultimately rests with the shooter, but Hollywood entertainment contributed to the melee.
Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol took it up a notch on Sunday, when he broke with fellow conservatives and backed restrictions the sales of "assault weapons" like the AR-15, which was allegedly used in the Batman shooting.
"People have a right to handguns and hunting rifles," Kristol told Fox News host Chris Wallace. "I don't think they have a right to semi-automatic, quasi-machine guns that can be used to shoot a hundred bullets at a time."
"And I actually think the Democrats are being foolish as they're being cowardly," he added. "I think there is more support for some moderate forms of gun control if they separated clearly from a desire to take away everyone's handguns or rifles."
"And you could put more pressure on moderate Republicans than people think. It's not as if Republicans from New York and Illinois and California couldn't — that President Obama couldn't do what President Clinton did and put pressure on them [to pass an assault weapons ban]. President Obama on this one is just unwilling to take a strong stance."
Arizona Senator John McCain then said on CNN's State of the Nation that although he does not believe banning assault weapons and drum magazines would not prevent mass shootings from happening, he was open to a discussion on the subject.
Noting that Anders Behring Breivik was able to kill 77 people using assault weapons in Norway, a country with some of the strictest gun control laws in the world, McCain said, "everything should be looked at" in preventing another mass shooting from happening.
"But to think that gun control, or increased gun control, is the answer, that would have to be proved," McCain said.
Another conservative pundit, Charles Krauthammer, wrote an op-ed piece for the Chicago Tribune back in 1996 that was critical of the now-abolished Assault Weapons Ban – not because it was bad legislation, but because it did not go far enough.
It is simply crazy for a country as modern, industrial, advanced and now crowded as the United States to carry on its frontier infatuation with guns," Krauthammer wrote. "Ultimately, a civilized society must disarm its citizenry if it is to have a modicum of domestic tranquility of the kind enjoyed in sister democracies like Canada and Britain."
Krauthammer side-stepped the issue of banning assault weapons in his current role as FOX News commentator. Focusing instead on the questionable sanity of accused killer James Holmes, the conservative opinion-maker said society should do better in looking after the mentally ill. Krauthammer also said the threshold for instituting people has gotten higher in the name of civil liberties, increasing the chances that incidents like the Batman shooting will occur.
In another segment on FOX News, Krauthammer explained that gun control legislation cannot pass in today's House and Senate because the American people are against it.
"The President of the United States, who had this tremendous opening if he wanted to push the issue of guns after a tragedy of this magnitude, could have easily done it," Krauthammer said. "And he has assiduously stayed away from it, because he knows it's a losing political proposition."

If your company is regularly publishing good content on your site, you might consider syndicating a portion of this content out to third parties, for example, to online publications in your business vertical.
Why Syndicate or Guest Blog?
- More Visibility. Although you may have put a lot of SEO effort into your business domain, few B2B sites have the site authority of a dedicated content site. By sharing content with a site with higher authority than your own, your content will be more visible in search engines. Additionally, the site you syndicate to may aggressively promote your content via its own promotional apparatus, which often includes emails sent to large subscriber lists and posts to high-traffic social channels. Syndication can extend your reach to audiences that might otherwise be completely unaware of what your business does.
- Added Prestige. If you can strike a deal with a first-rate publisher, your business may be the beneficiary of a prestige boost. Many online publishers (including ClickZ) are extremely picky about who they allow into their pages; if your content makes the cut, it's definitely something that marks your brand as "elite." You can promote the fact that your work appears in a given high-profile publisher site in your own marketing collateral and on your blog.
- Editorial Assistance. While some outlets will accept whatever words you send their way without adding any value, first-rate publishers will provide an additional layer of copy-editing to ensure that the quality is up to snuff.
- No Direct SEO Benefit. When Google's Matt Cutts wrote "stick a fork in it: guest blogging is done" back in January, he wasn't bashing content syndication or guest blogging, only the use of this tactic as a link-building scheme. While many publishers will allow a "hard" link back to your site for navigation purposes, many people recommend that this link should be a "no follow" link so that it does not confer any Page Rank. I'm of the opinion that a hard link in your bio probably won't do any SEO harm and may in fact provide some SEO benefit.
- No Self-Promotion. Just like Google, the editors of online syndication outlets want you to write about interesting things in the world, not promote yourself. If your normal editorial voice is self-promotional, tone it down: you're guest blogging/syndicating to share your wisdom, not make sales.
- Less Topical Control. Once a third-party site selects you to write on a given topic, you're going to have to stick to that topic. Many sites specialize in very granular, technical topics, and it's rare that you'll be allowed to divert from this topic unless you demand an editorial "beat" that's wide-ranging at the outset of your relationship.
Best Practices
Here are some recommendations for business people who want to extend their reach via guest blogging and content syndication.
- Pace Yourself. While you have complete freedom to publish (or not) to your own blog whenever you want, once you're engaged with a third party you're bound to delivering content that's in good shape and delivered on time. If you have an aggressive (five-day/week) blog content calendar, consider scaling this schedule back until you're comfortable in your new role.
- Use News Hooks and Anecdotes. Especially if you're confined to a very narrow beat, it can be daunting to create content that's enthused and exciting over time. Consider reaching beyond your narrow industry to personal experiences you've had or issues in the news. Doing this can boost the energy of your content and avoid the "I've said this 100 times before" trap.
- Be Yourself. Avoid a stuffy "know-it-all" tone (even if you really do know it all). Approach your audience as equals, and open up your topic for discussion (if the third-party site provides for commenting).
- Promote Your Partner. It's always good to create an excerpt (not a copy) of your syndicated post and promote the fact that it's been published on a third-party site through your social channels.
Is Syndication for Me?
Content syndication can extend your reach, add prestige, and create new possibilities to engage with qualified audiences whose members would never visit your business blog. It can also deliver a branding boost and elevate your status as a "thought leader" in your industry vertical. Just because it hypothetically conveys no direct SEO benefits doesn't mean that one should "stick a fork in it." Publishing thought-leading content has benefits that range far beyond SEO.

How reliable is reliable enough, on a gun you're needing to avoid death at the hands of another? Pretty darned reliable, I'd say.
We each have different levels of comfort for how far we're willing to extend trust in a defensive gun. Myself, I'm pretty comfortable that if 1000rds of all sorts have shown themselves to be highly reliable through a given gun, then it's highly likely that gun's going to perform when the chips are down ... 'cause I've already thrown everything at it I can think of, and it's performed as near to flawlessly as I can hope for. Perfect would be better, but I've only seen that on a couple occasions, and only after lengthy break-in on one of those. So, of dozens of defensive pistols, only one has performed this way, with only one being a close second.
That's why I much prefer testing it. I'm a bit of a "show me the money" sort, when it comes to defensive firearm performance. Better than blind faith, IMO. It's a bit like the old Porsche motto: "There is no substitute."
