Can my wife have coffee everynow and then?
My name is Hans and I am an expectant father. My wife is currently on his 4th month of pregnancy. My question is:
Can a woman really intake caffeine/coffee while pregnant? I have been on other forums and have read a lot of pregnancy books,and the answers are always different. There are answers saying a pregnant woman can't, some say that it can be allowed but not more than a cup. I really want to drink coffee, I just don't know if it'll be safe for my baby.
Thanks in advance,

Hello Hans,
With your wife's other health challenges of not gaining weight well, getting constipated and having migraine headaches, I would have to say that coffee for her is NOT a good idea and could be contributing to her other challenges.
She can wean herself off of it by reducing her intake by 1/4 of a cup each day, or she can just stop altogether, depending upon what she wants to do.
If she's only having coffee every now and then I'd suggest that she try an herbal tea like Red Raspberry Leaf Tea which has iron in it and is exceptionally good during pregnancy in helping to tone the uterus and prepare it for birth.
Warm regards,

We're really not much of a tea people and this red raspberry leaf tea is kinda new to me. I will try this out.
I will take your advice Ma'am Kate, we couldn't have thought about that it may be contributing to her distress. Thank you so much!

Another beverage your wife might really enjoy instead of coffee is warm lemonade. This is where you would squeeze half of a lemon into some warm water, add some honey or pure maple syrup or brown sugar (to taste) and sip or drink.
Lemon is very good for the liver and good during pregnancy. I prefer warm lemonade (or cold lemonade) to tea. I'm not a tea person, however I did drink Red Raspberry Leaf Tea 3 times a day at the end of my last pregnancy, and I had the easiest, fastest labour and birth of all my births.

Another suggestion for your wife may be Teccinno herbal coffee. I am a doula and I give samples of it to my clients who are trying to wean themselves off of coffee. It is all natural and caffeine free. It comes in a variety of flavors, many of which taste very much like conventional coffee.
Hope that helps!

Hi Hans,
I do agree with Kate and mom2many. Coffee is high in caffeine and may cause the migraines that your wife may be having. Hormonal imbalances do happen prior to, within and even after pregnancy. The best thing to do, especially when a woman is pregnant and has a history on some sort of "addiction" if I may call it (e.g. coffee, carbonated drinks, alcohol or even tobacco) is to stop whatever may not be good for her.
I may not be that good in giving advice especially knowing that I am neither a doctor or a midwife but I sure know that caffeine, from drinking coffee, does have side effects especially for women who are expecting.
Best regards!

The acquisition doesn't include FamilyLink's We're Related Facebook app, MyHeritage spokesperson Schelly Talalay Dardahsti tells me. FamilyLink CEO Paul Allen won't be joining the MyHeritage team.
MyHeritage will add its first U.S.-based office in Utah, the home of FamilyLink.
The acquisition adds something MyHeritage lacked: the historical records genealogists use. FamilyLink's records will complement the family trees on MyHeritage.com. "We'll be able to find your mother's yearbook, your great-grandfather's will and your ancestor's immigration record. We'll do that on a massive, global scale," says MyHeritage founder and CEO Gilad Japhet.
This is MyHeritage's seventh and largest acquisition since 2007. Read the full press release here.

For a decade, Bonnie Plants has been turning third-graders into gardeners with its national cabbage growing competition. Kids not only get the experience to nurture and watch the plants grow, they also can cash in on the cabbage.
This year, Lillian Spieth, fourth-grader at Spring Lake Elementary in Payson, was chosen as the winner from Utah. She won a $1,000 saving bond to use toward education.
"I was really excited that if I get the $1,000 I could go to the college that I wanted to go to," Spieth said.
More than 11,400 kids competed in the Bonnie Plants Third Grade Cabbage Program. The students' teachers signed up for the program online, and third-graders take home a 2-inch plant at the end of the school year.
"It's OS cross or oversized cabbage," said Joan Casanova, spokeswoman for Bonnie Plants. "The intent was to provide the children with the variety that would be fun for them."
Spieth said she planted her cabbage at her aunt's house because the garden size there could better accommodate the large plant.
"I liked to check on the cabbage to see how it was growing," she said. "A week after we put it there, it started getting bigger."
Spieth's cabbage weighed in about 50 pounds, which is the second-largest ever grown in the Bonnie Plants program. According to Casanova, the 2011 Montana winner produced the largest cabbage in the history of the competition at 65 pounds.
Spieth nurtured the cabbage for three months during the summer.
"It needed quite a bit of water," she said. "Some days, it grew two inches taller."
She shared the cabbage with her family and cousins, and much of it went to her great-grandparents' goats, horse and chickens.
At the end of the growing season, each kid takes a picture with his or her cabbage and submits it to the teachers at the beginning of school year. The teachers then select which is the best in the class according to size and appearance.
Each class winner's name is put in a statewide drawing. Spieth's name was randomly selected by Larry Lewis, public information officer of the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food.
"The reason we do that is because the cabbages are very similar in size," Casanova said. "All the kids work hard growing their cabbages, so we want it to be kind of a luck-of-the-draw-based thing."
Spieth said she's letting the savings bond accrue money until she gets to college, which is Brigham Young University if her plan stays the same for the next eight years.
"I kind of want to go to BYU because they're my favorite football team," Spieth said.
Spieth's mom said there were other kids in the neighborhood eagerly growing the cabbage for the competition as well.
"I think it's really fun that Bonnie Plants does something like that," Miesha Spieth said. "I just think it helps [kids] be more confident in whatever they want to do."
Casanova said the competition is also a lot of fun for kids because as long as they water the cabbage and tend its needs, the plant likely yields good results.
"Growing a colossal cabbage may seem like a giant undertaking for little kids, but it's easier than you think," she said. "If they pay attention, they probably will get a pretty big cabbage."
The hands-on nature of the program also encourages kids to pursue gardening even after the competition ends.
"I think that 9- and 10-year-old kids, many of them have never gardened by themselves," Casanova said. "Planting vegetables engages the children."
Cabbage was chosen for the competition because it was the first plant sold by Bonnie Plants in 1918. Since then, Bonnie Plants has become the largest producer of vegetable and herb plants in North America.
In 2002, the cabbage growing competition took on the national stage. Forty-eight states participate yearly with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii.
"About 1.5 million kids participate every year," Casanova said. "It provides the children with a sense of pride and accomplishment, and for the lucky state winners, the beginning of an educational fund for college."
Casanova said she hopes the program instills confidence in the kids.
"They get this tiny plant and just can't wait to put it in the ground and hope it grows," she said. "It teaches them a sense of responsibility and nurturing…that they can garden and they can grow their own food."

Pointers for growing oversized cabbages
Let the sun shine • Six hours or more of full sunlight.
Survey your space • At least 3 feet on each side to spread out.
Supplement the soil • Work some compost into the soil, add vegetable fertilizer.
Water wisely • Gently water your plant at soil level with hose or watering can.
Tend to trouble • Keep weeds out of the cabbage patch.

Is Baby Sleeping Too Much?
My two-month old son seems to be sleeping so much more than usual lately. He has been sleeping 5 hours through the night pretty consistently for the last few weeks, but until recently, he was wide awake for most of the day. Now he's taking 4 or 5 naps during the daytime, each about 2 hours long. He doesn't have a fever or show any other symptoms. Should I be worried?
5th March 2014 06:21 AM #2
Dear kristenbaker,
If you are led by your baby and (as far as is possible) allow your baby to sleep/nap whenever he wants to then you can't really go wrong. What is important is the total amount of sleep a baby or toddler gets; rather than how this sleep is distributed. From newborn to 2 months of age a baby should be getting a total of approximately 14 hours a day +/- 4 hours (i.e. there is some variation with this from baby to baby). For the majority of 2 months old this will be around 8 hours at night and 3 naps which total 6-7 hours. It is fine if your baby wants to have 4 or even 5 naps rather than 3.
Sometimes baby's sleep patterns change when they are about to go through a developmental leap/ milestone. However, if you are ever concerned then you should check with your healthcare provider.
I hope this helps you.
Warm wishes,

Thank you, LJ; I was pretty sure it's a growth spurt or something, but it's nice to hear it from someone else too!

text: Yes, once you read it then it can never escape your memory. Former Presidential candidate and truly awful person, John Edwards is in The Enquirer again. This time it is not about his cheating ways but because he and Rielle Hunter have been getting noise complaints from neighbors because their sex is too loud. It is probably just Edwards being thankful that any woman would want to have sex with him after the way he treated his wife. Either that or Rielle spanks him while making him wear her clothes. I could see her doing that. I'm sure The Enquirer would love photos if she is doing that.

Seriously, please tell me how hard it is to put your cart into the cart spot in a parking lot...
I CANNOT stand it when someone unloads their groceries, pushes their cart to the side (by another car, in the road, in an empty parking spot)
It's even worse when they would literally have to walk 2 feet to put it where it goes. Some people do not think of the next person, who might want to park in the open spot, who has to move the cart to get into their car, or the workers who have go collect all those carts before pushing a heavy line of them into the store (yes its their job, but why not be kind and make it easier for them?)
Maybe i should stop going to Walmart... haha!

Elves delay Road Project
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — In this land of fire and ice, where the fog-shrouded lava fields offer a spooky landscape in which anything might lurk, stories abound of the "hidden folk" — thousands of elves, making their homes in Iceland's wilderness.
So perhaps it was only a matter of time before 21st-century elves got political representation.
Elf advocates have joined forces with environmentalists to urge the Icelandic Road and Coastal Commission and local authorities to abandon a highway project building a direct route from to the tip of the Alftanes peninsula, where the president has a home, to the Reykjavik suburb of Gardabaer.
They fear disturbing elf habitat and claim the area is particularly important because it contains an elf church.
The project has been halted until the Supreme Court of Iceland rules on a case brought by a group known as Friends of Lava, who cite both the environmental and the cultural impact — including the impact on elves — of the road project. Scandinavian folklore is full of elves, trolls and other mythological characters. Most people in Norway, Denmark and Sweden haven't taken them seriously since the 19th century, but elves are no joke to many in Iceland, population 320,000.
"It will be a terrible loss and damaging both for the elf world and for us humans," said Jonsdottir of the road project.
Terry Gunnell, a folklore professor at the University of Iceland, said he was not surprised by the wide acceptance of the possibility of elves.
"This is a land where your house can be destroyed by something you can't see (earthquakes), where the wind can knock you off your feet, where the smell of sulfur from your taps tells you there is invisible fire not far below your feet, where the northern lights make the sky the biggest
television screen in the world, and where hot springs and glaciers 'talk,'" Gunnell said.
"In short, everyone is aware that the land is alive, and one can say that the stories of hidden people and the need to work carefully with them reflects an understanding that the land demands respect."
And at Christmas, Icelanders await not just one Santa Claus, but 13 trolls known as the "Yule Lads" who come to town during the 13 days before Christmas, each with his own task, putting rewards or punishments into the shoes of little children.
One of Iceland's most famous daughters, the singer Bjork, had no hesitation in responding when asked by U.S. comedian and TV host Stephen Colbert if people in her country believed in elves. "We do," she said. "It's sort of a relationship with nature, like with the rocks. (The elves) all live in the rocks, so you have to. It's all about respect, you know."

|UBCIC 7th Annual General Assembly
April 21 - 25, 1975
Chilliwack, B.C.
The Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs' (UBCIC) 7th Annual General Assembly, which was held April 21-25, 1975 in Chilliwack, B.C., altered the Indian political landscape of British Columbia. A historic resolution to reject government funding was passed on April 24, 1975. The resolution was UBCIC's response to building frustrations concerning the management of government programs for Indigenous populations in British Columbia. A number of different issues were discussed including drastic cutbacks to Band education funding, local control of Band funding, self-determination, and opposition to changes to the Indian Act. Even the identity of Indian people when dependent on government funds for essential programs and services was called into question.
At the assembly on April 23, 1975, Philip Paul read a telegram sent from George Manuel, then President of the National Indian Brotherhood. In the telegram, George Manuel called on "...the Chiefs of British Columbia to turn back all Department of Indian Affairs programs, including Band core funds as of June 1, 1975…". The resolution to reject all government funds, which was put forward by Ed John the following day, passed and became effective almost immediately. This refusal of funds signified the rejection of Canadian law and government control over Band programs.
The resolution was a bold action that sent shockwaves throughout the UBCIC membership. Without solid support from other organizations, UBCIC stood alone in defying the Department of Indian Affairs, their program policy changes, and the possible shift from federal to provincial management of Indians in British Columbia. Passing this resolution and following through with its hard line provisions proved a lasting legacy for the UBCIC. It paved a clear path for UBCIC's position of defending the rights of Indian people above all else. George Manuel later became President of UBCIC, leading the organization into a new era of political activism.
The UBCIC 7th Annual General Assembly Moving Images Digital Collection consists of 24 recordings of the meeting's proceedings. The footage, which has been arranged in chronological order, was obtained by digitizing video recordings from UBCIC's archival holdings. The resulting footage has been minimally edited to remove culturally sensitive material in accordance with the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials. Notable speakers include the Honorable Steven Point, Grand Chief Ed John, Chief Dan George, and many more.

Is it too soon to write about a show coming on June 18?
In 2011, the Brooklyn-based "Americana punk" band Parquet Courts' first album was released only on cassette tape.
"The label that put it out knew we were a new band," said frontman Andrew Savage. "A tape costs 25 cents to manufacture."
The following year, the quartet's second album, the 33-minute, 15-song-long "Light Up Gold" was released, and critics across the nation became apoplectic, with Rolling Stone running stories on the band that made "near-perfect post-college rock," according to the mag, in two consecutive issues.
"It's an honor to have that review," Savage said. "Rolling Stone is an institution." (Then he added that most people he knows don't read the mag anymore for its music assessments, but rather for its political and foreign-affairs coverage.)
All four grew up In Texas, but only met up with one another when all have emigrated to New York City, with Savage initially working at a home-appliance store before quitting to focus on music full-time.
"I don't know what people's perceptions of us are," he said. "A lot of people like to call us slacker-rock. I take offense to that, because I put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it. We're industrious rock."
Savage has been in Salt Lake City before, on tour as a member of the Texas-based indie-rock band Teenage Cool Kids, and remembers sleeping in a cold motel room, eating days-old focaccia bread out of a dumpster, and walking around the city in feet of snow after a storm blanketed the streets. He especially remembered the Mormon Temple. "I was awed by its grandeur," he said. "It was so snowy that it looked like an ice castle. It looked the White Witch's castle in the Chronicles of Narnia."
And he didn't mean that as an insult, honest.
Koala Temple and Pentagraham Crackers open.

McKissick Museum to hold 'Art & Soul fundraiser
The University of South Carolina's McKissick Museum will hold its annual "Art & Soul in Old Shandon" fundraiser and reception Saturday, April 30, from 4:30 – 8 p.m. in the historic garden and studio of Pat and Judy Hubbard, located in the Old Shandon neighborhood.
Tickets are $40 for museum members and $55 for non-members and must be purchased in advance. Tickets, which are tax deductable, can be purchased by visiting the museum or calling 803-777-7251.
Rudy Mancke, USC's naturalist-in-residence, will give formal talks/tours at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. He will discuss the flora, fauna and other wonders of nature found in and around this Columbia garden and share what he discovers in the surprising urban oasis. Refreshments of the season will be served.
For 34 years, the Hubbards have developed this site, located in one of Columbia's original suburbs. Now on the Historic Register, the garden preserves the relationship South Carolinians had with outdoor spaces in an earlier era. The Hubbard garden features mature camellia trees, American boxwoods, azaleas, pomegranates, crinum lilies and masses of aspidistra in a structured courtyard.
In addition to touring the gardens, guests will have the opportunity to purchase artwork. The event will feature the work of two well-established South Carolina native artists, Judy Hubbard and Jeri Burdick, and the photographic artist Robert Clark.
Judy Hubbard's work takes several forms. She uses the traditional batik waxing tools and fiber reactive dyes to create painted silk hangings and framed works. Her work has been shown throughout South Carolina and has been among the collections of the South Carolina State Art Collection, Columbia Museum of Art, Westinghouse of South Carolina and the Hilton Hotel in Laguna Beach, Calif., as well as numerous private collections.
Jeri Burdick is a professional visual artist from Eutawville who has established a strong base of support in all regions of the state and has had gallery representation throughout the U.S. and Canada. In addition to print making and paintings, she works primarily with clay bowls, cups and other pieces for daily use. Burdick was a recipient of a South Carolina Crafts Association fellowship, and the South Carolina State Museum has purchased her work for its permanent collection.
Robert Clark, an established photographic artist for more than 30 years, has been featured in numerous publications, including National Geographic, Newsweek and Smithsonian. He is president of the South Carolina Chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers.
The garden tour is one of two annual events held by the Museum's Advisory Council to raise funds to support acquisitions and public programs for the museum.

Man Murdered During 'Bucket List' Bike Ride
Listen to The News Junkie on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – Kevin Adorno set out from Maryland last month to complete an item from his bucket list: bicycling all the way to Florida. When he reached Miami, he planned to propose to his girlfriend. Instead, he was on the phone with her Monday night outside a Vero Beach McDonald's—less than 140 miles away—when he was fatally stabbed, allegedly by a homeless man.
Rene Herrera Cruz, 59, told police who arrested him that he believed Adorno was on the phone with people who wanted to attack him, WPBF reports. But police say the attack was unprovoked and apparently random, and Cruz has been charged with first-degree murder.

Hurricane Sandy in context
By Jeff Stensland, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3686
Hurricane Sandy's late October battering of the Northeast coast left modern-day meteorologists dumbfounded, but University of South Carolina professor Cary Mock is less surprised.
Mock, a professor of geography at USC's College of Arts and Sciences, is one of only a handful of researchers in the country studying climatology using old manuscript material, and he specializes in unearthing information about major storms occurring prior to the late 1700s. He said Sandy, while extremely costly, tragic and rare, is not without historical comparisons. "It's not that these events never happen," he said. "When you look at it historically, large storms themselves are not that unusual."
Sandy is responsible for an estimated 110 deaths so far and damage is expected to reach $50 billion, ranking second only to Hurricane Katrina that hit the Gulf in 2005. It's also the only hurricane in the top 10 costliest to make landfall in the Northeast instead of the Southern U.S.
But historically speaking, the Northeast has seen its share of hurricanes and other big storms: the Long Island Express of 1938 killed about 600 people; the Great September Gale of 1815 destroyed 500 homes and 35 ships; the Snow Hurricane of 1804 brought up to 3 feet of snow to New England. Going back even further, the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635 leveled thousands of trees from Jamestown to Plymouth. And archeological evidence points to Category 3 and above hurricanes hitting New England prior to Colonial times.
In between those storms were dozens that rivaled Sandy in intensity, but never made a direct hit on the Northeast coast. Mock points to the Halloween Nor'easter of 1991, immortalized by the book and film "The Perfect Storm," as an example of a relatively recent storm that could have caused damage similar to Sandy had it made landfall.
"Whether or not they hit land is more a matter of random luck. In Sandy's case, it's bad luck," he said.
Gathering reliable information about storms that occurred hundreds of years ago is labor intensive. While the first known working barometer dates back to 1643, they were primitive instruments by today's standards and not widely used. Getting accurate accounts of pre-modern storms takes scouring through old newspapers, personal diaries and ship log books often housed in musty historical society libraries.
"This was before there was a U.S. Weather Bureau or anything, so you have to rely on other sources," Mock said. "Some of the first-hand accounts aren't very good. But if you have records that giant trees were uprooted over a 10-mile area, that's pretty telling."
One of the best places to look for information is ships' logs, such as those kept by Navy ships and on whaling vessels. By analyzing detailed wind direction measurements aboard multiple ships on the same date, researchers can apply modern knowledge of meteorology to paint a picture of what the storm might have been like.
Aside from analyzing the history of East Coast storms, Mock is also studying large typhoons (hurricanes of the Pacific), which have a much deadlier history than hurricanes in the United States. Typhoons that hit Hong Kong in 1906 and 1937 killed as many as 15,000. The death toll of a 1922 typhoon that hit Swatow on the eastern coast of China is estimated at 100,000.
Mock said his interest in hurricanes stems from an early fascination with extreme weather and naturally occurring disasters, beginning with avalanches he learned to fear as a skier. He hopes the practical application of his work will lead to better preparation for big storms in the future.
"Parts of populated Asia are much better prepared than they were and you would usually not see that many deaths today," he said. "This (research) tells us about what might happen. If you're looking at what building codes should be, do you plan for a 100-year event, the 200-year event?"

Does anyone (apart from idiots who never train but are trying to impress people) ever use the term 'cage fighter' or 'cage fighting' in a positive way?
I started thinking about this the other day when I read yet another report along the lines of 'Cage fighter beats wife half to death!' in the media. Then my friend Shay Walsh ended up in the news for something he did (you may have seen the thread about it here: http://www.cagewarriors.com/forums/s...highlight=shay) and suddenly he's a 'martial arts expert.'
Why wasn't this reported as 'cage fighter stops crazy man?' I'm pretty sure that if said crazy man had previously trained MMA for at least half a session he would have been reported as a 'crazed cage fighter.'
Personally I hate the term cage fighter, but I'm just wondering whether there any examples of it being used in a positive way? Or is it just a media tool?

Skin Lightener Buyer's Guide For 2015
How To Eliminate Age Spots, Sunspots, and Discoloration WITHOUT Spending a Fortune at the Dermatologist
By, Karen Weathers
Senior Editor
Consumers Guides Beauty Advice
With a good dark spot corrector, many types of skin blemishes can become a thing of the past.
A quality dark spot corrector can clear up dark spots and age spots in a few weeks, and other smaller blemishes (such as spots from acne) can be cleared up in a matter of days.
But which product do you use?
Every product claims to offer the best results for the money, but as we both know, product claims can be far from the truth - and on top of that, some of them can be downright dangerous.
So how do you know which one to use? This is where we come in. We looked at all the best dark spot correctors on the market and analyzed each of them to find out which one uses the most effective ingredients, and no dangerous ingredients and of course...which one works best.
Dark spots are a form of hyper-pigmentation. It's a discoloration of the skin due to overproduction of melanin, the substance which causes our skin to tan after sun exposure. As we age, melanocytes, which deposit melanin in our skin cells work less effectively. Melanin builds up in certain areas and causes dark spots.
First - The Ingredients That Work
For a dark spot corrector to be effective, is has to use the right ingredients. Many correctors claim to be using the best, but be careful- many do not use the right amounts of ingredients to really get results. Here's the proven ingredients you need to look for:
Alpha Arbutin: a compound derived from organic materials, Alpha Arbutin blocks the effects of melanin on the skin, removing dark spots quickly and safely
Resveratrol: another powerful melanin blocker, this has been clinically shown to reduce melanin production by 50%
Sepicalm-S: this compound is one of the most powerful anti-pigment and anti-inflammatory agents on the market- perfect for reducing acne scarring
Dangerous Ingredients to watch out for:
Sadly, many dark spot correctors still use ingredients proven dangerous. Using a product with these ingredients can have worse effects than simply not seeing results. These can cause serious damage to your health:
Which Products work best?
Which products are most effective while still using safe ingredients?
Out of everything we looked at, sadly only a few made the cut. The majority of products simply don't offer the results they should and many of them still use dangerous ingredients.
However there ARE a few that really do stand out. A couple of the products we looked at did everything right with their formulas. They use all the best ingredients, those which are proven in clinical trials to remove all kinds of skin blemishes. These are all safe to use... and got amazing reviews from all their users.
Below are our top products in the dark spot corrector category. If you are looking for a product to clear up dark spots, age spots, or acne blemishes, these are the ones to use.
#1 Top Choice: City Cosmetics Illuminating Dark Spot Corrector
This is the top product out of all the dark spot correctors we looked at.
City Cosmetics does everything right with its formula. It's completely safe with no dangerous ingredients, and we found no reports of skin irritation from any of the women who used it... and.. this product works!
How Effective is City Cosmetics Illuminating Dark Spot Corrector?
This is the part we love.
We read nothing but amazing things about how well this Illuminating Dark Spot Corrector works.
Women claim this is the product to use for any type of skin blemish.
We read reports of it clearing up dark spots (age spots/sun spots) in as little as 3 weeks. Acne blemishes clear up even faster with women reporting results in as little as 4 days.
One woman even said This product saved her from the $900 she was going to pay for getting IPL/PhotoFacial treatments.
If you're looking for a product that truly works to remove all types of skin blemishes, this is the one to use.
You can check it out with the link below. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you. We know you won't be disappointed.

# 2 Second Choice: Obagi Nu-Derm Clear Fx
The consensus second place pick was Obagi Nu-Derm Clear Fx, which came closest to replicating the results of City Cosmetics Illuminating Dark Spot Corrector.
However, this product uses some potentially dangerous ingredients, and the price tag might scare some consumers away, which kept this product from the top tier of dark spot correctors.
Read Full Review >>
#3 Third Choice: Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum
Rounding out the top three was Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum. This was an excellent product in many respects, but just didn't make a strong enough impact on skin tone and luminance.
Additionally, it was very pricey, which is surprising given that it didn't have any of the compounds that traditionally drive up the price of dark spot correctors.
P.S.While City Cosmetics Illuminating Dark Spot Corrector is the best dark spot corrector we've found, we would still love to hear about any others you've tried. If you have you had a great experience with a dark spot corrector of your own, please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com with the details. We'll check it out and if it looks good, we'll post it here.

What allegedly separates humans from the so-called “lower animals”? Supposedly, it’s the ability to make and use tools.
However, as you can see here, these chimpanzees make tools, and use them to enjoy a tasty nut-meat meal
Baby chimps begin experimenting at a young age – like this one who is learning how to use a stick.
Female chimps demonstrate how it’s done. Female are markedly better at using tools than males,[i] despite what the males might tell you in private.
It takes ten years for a young chimp to master the art of creating a tool, and using that tool to produce an edible foodstuff.[ii]
And if you think that’s complicated. Let this chimpanzee mom give a lesson in the fine art of finding, and then eating safari ants.
First, mom uses a ‘wand’ selected and pruned for this delicate task.[iii]
Now the deal with safari ants is that they are a rich and delicious food source, but if you don’t know how to eat them, they sting like crazy.[iv]
Now here’s what not to do – try to get safari ants – get frustrated – put hand in hole, and get stung not once but twice.
Now here’s how it’s done – get ants on stick, and gobble them down, zippity-quick!
These aren’t the only tools that chimps have learned to use. This chimp uses a bone pick to get at some tasty marrow.[v]
Here a chimp uses a piece of fruit as a sponge to get every bit of sweetness from the pulp[vi]
And this chimp uses chewed leaves as a sponge to quench a raging thirst.[vii]
Are we humans actually more advanced than chimps? Could you figure out how to eat safari ants without getting eaten alive? ‘nuff said.!!!

It's that time of year again; pumpkins and apple pies and costumes abound. In light of the oncoming Halloween holiday, and for the sake of honoring it in an environmentally-conscious and bike-related way, we thought it'd be nothing short of perfect to show you what one amazing designer can do with a ton of old bike tubes.
The photo at the top of this post caught our attention on Klean Kanteen's Facebook page, and took us to Ecotuerre, where we quickly learned more about what we were looking at. The costume above is a modern rendition of a Joan of Arc Suit of Armor, fashioned with a papier-maché bodice covered by woven inner bike tubes.
We're betting this isn't something just anyone could make as a costume at home, but it got us thinking: What kinds of things could you make with old bike tubes? Let us know in the comments section below!

The quest property classes uses the quest manager in the background so this section will also explain the quest manager.
The quest manager is one of the most important modules in Crystal Entity
Layer. A quest is basically a story in a game. With story defined
in the very broad sense of the word. A quest can be as simple as a quest
to turn on a light in a room if the player clicks on a button to complex
quests that keep track of NPC conversation and complex interaction with
items. A quest is a state machine. At every given time it is at some specific
state and can change state in response to some event. There are quest
factories (
iQuestFactory) and quests (
iQuest). A factory acts
like a template from wich to create quests. In every quest there are basically
five different concepts: states, responses, triggers, rewards,
and sequences.
A quest is made out of different states. Every state has zero or more responses.
A response is simply one trigger and one or more rewards together. In one state you can define multiple responses. Every response will define a different set of rewards.
Triggers cause progression in a quest. Whenever a trigger fires the quest will act and execute some rewards (see below). Currently the following triggers are defined in Crystal Entity Layer:
It is of course possible to define your own triggers and register them to the quest manager. Triggers can be used outside of Quests wherever needed.
Whenever a trigger fires one or more rewards are executed. A reward is basically some specific operation that needs to be done in response to a trigger. Currently the following rewards are defined in Crystal Entity Layer:
It is also possible to define your own rewards. All rewards (except the Quest specific reward NewState) can also be used outside of Quests wherever needed.
A reward is always a one-shot operation. It occurs and besides the effect that it has it immediately stops. Sequences, on the other hand, have a duration and represent operations that typically take a few frames to execute. For example, to open a door in response to a trigger one would use a sequence to transform the door for a few frames. Sequences can be fired by a reward. The following operations are currently defined in a sequence:
You can define your own sequence operations for the quest manager. Sequences and all Sequence Operators above can be used outside of Quests wherever needed.
Here we show how you could define a quest in XML. We use the 'cel.addons.questdef' addon (see section Quest Definition Addon) so that we can embed the quest definition in a regular world file:
<addon plugin="cel.addons.questdef"> <quest name="SlideDoor"> <state name="locked"> <trigger type="trigger"> <fireon entity="$this" /> <reward type="debugprint" message="Door is closed!" /> </trigger> <trigger type="inventory"> <fireon entity="camera" child_entity="$key_ent" /> <reward type="debugprint" message="The door is unlocked!" /> <reward type="changeproperty" entity="$key_ent" pc="pcbillboard" property="visible" bool="true" /> <reward type="newstate" state="closed" /> </trigger> </state> <state name="closed"> <trigger type="trigger"> <fireon entity="$this" /> <reward type="debugprint" message="Door Opens!" /> <reward type="sequencefinish" entity="$this" sequence="closedoor" /> <reward type="sequence" entity="$this" sequence="opendoor" /> <reward type="newstate" state="opened" /> </trigger> </state> <state name="opened"> <trigger type="trigger"> <fireon entity="$this" leave="true" /> <reward type="debugprint" message="Door Closes!" /> <reward type="sequencefinish" entity="$this" sequence="opendoor" /> <reward type="sequence" entity="$this" sequence="closedoor" /> <reward type="newstate" state="closed" /> </trigger> </state> <sequence name="opendoor"> <op type="transform" duration="500" entity="$this"> <v x="$openx" y="$openy" z="$openz" /> </op> </sequence> <sequence name="closedoor"> <op type="transform" duration="500" entity="$this"> <v x="$closex" y="$closey" z="$closez" /> </op> </sequence> </quest> </addon>
This quest has three states: 'locked', 'closed', and 'opened'. When using this quest you can start it in any of those three states depending on how you want the door to be when the game starts. To go from 'locked' to 'closed' you need an object. The name of that object is given to the 'key_ent' quest parameter (which is given on quest instantiation). In the 'closed' state we also look at the trigger to see if we're approaching the door. In that case we print out a message to the user to indicate that the door is still closed.
If the door is in 'closed' state then we simply wait until the player approaches and then we fire the 'opendoor' sequence to open the door and go to the 'opened' state. Similarly for the 'opened' state where we wait until the player moves away from the trigger.
To define an entity that uses this quest we use the 'cel.addons.celentity' addon (see section CelEntity Addon) like this:
<addon plugin="cel.addons.celentity" entityname="SlidingDoor"> <propclass name="pcobject.mesh"> <action name="SetMesh"> <par name="name" string="SlidingDoor" /> </action> </propclass> <propclass name="pclogic.trigger"> <property name="monitor" string="camera" /> <action name="SetupTriggerSphere"> <par name="sector" string="Corridors" /> <par name="position" vector="-118,-8,78.7" /> <par name="radius" float="4" /> </action> </propclass> <propclass name="pclogic.quest"> <action name="NewQuest"> <par name="name" string="SlideDoor" /> <par name="openx" string="-3.5" /> <par name="openy" string="0" /> <par name="openz" string="0" /> <par name="closex" string="3.5" /> <par name="closey" string="0" /> <par name="closez" string="0" /> </action> <property name="state" string="closed" /> </propclass> </addon>

Greek psallein "to pluck (the harp)," Latin palpare "to touch softly, stroke," palpitare "to move quickly"), perhaps ultimately imitative.
