Just Ended Accutane (I Was Clear) and I Am Starting to Get Acne a Week Later - Missouri
I started off with 30 mg and in the first month nothing happened. In the 2nd month, my acne got worse. My dermatologist upped the dose to 40mg and kept it that way for the next 3 months in which my face got clearer. Side effects=more tired, drier skin, dry lips always. I thought I did well on accutane and it did the job in the 5 READ MORE

This paper appears in the Illinois Journal of Mathematics, 43 (1999),
We generalize to finitely connected planar domains the result of Joel
Shapiro which gives a formula for the essential norm of a composition operator.
In the process, we define and give some properties of a generalization
of the Nevanlinna counting function and prove generalizations of the Littlewood
inequality, the Littlewood-Paley identity, and change of variable formulas,
as well.

Armed with digital cameras and some expert advice, it was the tiny details of the world that attracted the close up attention of a group of budding photographers last week.
A class of 30 students from Macgregor Primary School hosted a day-long workshop with professional photographer Sally Mayman.
On a perfect spring day, the students explored their playground with a new focus and returned with close-ups of dandelions, bees and ladybirds, as well as black and white scenes and portraits.
Ms Mayman, whose visit was supported by the Moran Arts Foundation, which runs the prestigious Moran Prize for portraits, said similar workshops were run throughout the country, as far afield as remot Western Australia.
"We run about 100 workshops, maybe up to 150 a year...it's just so interesting the way they can express themselves through photography. It's a great program, even with [special] needs kids, it's a great leveling ground," she said.
Macgregor principal Lana Read hoped that the workshop would encourage the students and open opportunities for them.
"I hope it inspires them to develop their skills, and the range of possibilities for them. They are really lucky for this opportunity today."
That seemed to be the case for year six student Nathan Horam.
"I like the creativity and the freedom in photography. Like finding objects that would look nice in photos. Sally is a really good teacher," Nathan said.
The best photos will be entered in the Moran Prize, which has a collective prize pool of $130,000. Prizes in the open category prize total $110,000 and the schools category prizes amount to $20,000.
Australia's top 30 students will each receive a digital camera.

Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi
Is ssj5 goku in this game?
I no he isnt cannon but neither is ssj4 and its in this so
addicting159 - 5 years ago
Top Voted Answer
The difference between SSJ4 being non-canon and SSJ5 being non-canon is one is acknowledged by Akira Toriyama (Not created by, the most he did on GT was consulting and such) and the other is purely a fan creation.
That is why you'll never, ever, see SSJ5 in a Dragonball game or series, unless of course Akira swallows his pride and expands on Z himself.
PikaFiend (Expert) - 5 years ago
Super Saiyan 5 isn't cannon nor is it real, it was an April Fool's joke, hence the AF
Super Saiyan 4 was created and approved by Akira Toriyama himself
RequiemGundam (Expert) - 5 years ago
In wat game b4 this 1 was ssj5 in? He aint real 2 the games or the show although bulma did mesoin ssj5 when she told vegeta she could turn him in2 a sj4
ultimatessaiyan - 5 years ago
...Bulma mentioning SSJ5 makes no difference, since all of DBGT is non-canon, essentially a 60 episode what-if story.
PikaFiend (Expert) - 5 years ago
Yes he is all you have to do is beat every fight in story node and hero mode on the highest difficulty 5 times without losing any life.
Rhien123 - 5 years ago
SSJ5 is a fake, it was never part of the original manga and was only a april fools joke hence the name AF. As for SSJ4 it too is only a anime transformation and not a original one from the manga. Also since the events of Dragonball Online make the events of gt never happen SSJ4 shouldnt be in here at all.

" Brand: Sylvanian / Type: Doll House "
My daughters birthday is in January, which makes buying presents for her a little difficult, usually she has already received all the main gifts for Christmas and I am then found scouring the January sales with very little money for birthday presents for her. Then half way thought the year she has grown too old for these toys and doesn't have much to play with. When she turned two I decided to just buy her a few presents for her Birthday and buy her a "big" present during the summer and this seems to be working out much better. Some relatives have also jumped on-board and we now receive Amazon vouchers instead of gifts to put towards getting her a summer birthday toy.
She is now four years old and as it is the summer I began thinking about what kind of new toys she could do with. She told me she would like a house like her Peppa Pig house, now her Peppa Pig house lasted around a month before it fell apart due to its awful quality, so I was a little dubious about buying her another character house. Plus her Character fads seem to come and go and I wanted to buy her something that would be played with for a few years at least. I was prepared to pay a little more for something long lasting and which wouldn't just end up in the cupboard a few weeks after I bought it. Whilst perusing Amazon I came across some cute little Sylvanian families, I had played with these as a child and loved them and I thought my daughter would love them too. After reading lots of wonderful Amazon reviews on different Sylvanian families products I decided that I would buy her a Sylvanian house with lots of furniture to go in it, and a cute animal family too of course.
I searched the Internet looking for Sylvanian families houses hoping to find a decent offer as they were all pretty expensive. In the end I decided on Larchwood Lodge, this one is exclusive to The Entertainer and discounted from £69.99 to £34.99. Even discounted I initially thought it sounded a little expensive especially as it didn't come with any additional extras. All the furniture, figures etc had to be bought separately. However, the reviews I read for the house were brilliant, other buyers were saying it was a lovely house and of a fantastic quality, plus my research showed me Sylvanian families in general was a little on the pricey side, I guess its true - you get what you pay for. I decided to take a positive outlook on the empty house and thought it would be fun picking and choosing the furniture for ourselves, plus it may keep my daughters interest for longer if we are able to add to the house every now and then. The Entertainer offered free delivery on orders over £40, so i added a few additional Sylvanian families sets (that's the way they get you!) and checked out. We headed to Amazon for the rest of the furniture because its cheaper and I had vouchers.
A few days later a huge box arrived and my daughter was extremely excited, we had received the Amazon box the day before so we took no time in setting up the new house. Larchwood Lodge came in a large box with plenty of pictures of the house all over it. On removing the house I was pleased to discover it was 99% pre assembled, it was a simple case of clicking a few of the fences to the front of the house and it was ready to be played with, thank goodness I hate trying to assemble a toy with a very excited child asking "is it ready yet" ever five seconds.
Larchwood Lodge is absolutely stunning and it has such a charming little feeling to it. The house is made out of plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap, it is quite thick and of a brilliant quality. I love how it doesn't have a plasticky look about it, instead they have designed it to look like the wood on a real lodge. The front of the house is really cute, there is a "wooden" front door with a small gated porch, upstairs there is some double patio doors which lead onto the veranda. I really like that the front of the house has a partial open plan, through which the living room can be seen and accessed.
Turning the house around reveals the inside of the house, there are no fiddly doors to open its just open plan which I think works wonderfully. Downstairs there is a living room / dining room, my daughter currently only has a small sofa set in there but there is plenty more room for at least 2-3 more sets. Through the door there is a small kitchen with stairs in. The stairs are wonderfully constructed with a "wooden" banister running all the way up, they are actually connected to the house so they are not going to fall off or get easily broken. If I had one criticism about the stairs it would be that since they are at located at the back of the kitchen it can be difficult for my daughter to get the figures up and down the stairs without knocking over the kitchen set we added, she finds this rather frustrating at times. Upstairs is just one large room, so this doubles as a bedroom and bathroom, would it be better with two separate rooms? Yes, who wants an open plan bathroom! Still, there is plenty of room upstairs to accommodate lots of furniture, my daughter currently has three sets upstairs and I think there would still be room for a few more odds and ends.
There are lots of windows upstairs, only one of which opens, but there is also the double patio doors which lead to the veranda. The living room / dining room is completely open both sides for easy access during play, whilst the kitchen has one window which opens and the front door too.
An added feature in the house is the small draw which can be pulled out from under the kitchen. My daughter has found this an excellent place to keep the tiny accessories which all the Sylvanian families sets come with, having a little place to keep them is ideal as they would so easily get lost. The draw can be completely removed and when turned over can serve as a patio area, my daughter rarely does this preferring it to be used just as a draw, but still its a nice to have this option.
Larchwood Lodge is of a really nice size, its not so small that it is difficult to play with but not so big that it takes up too much space in my daughters small bedroom. My daughter currently has the house placed on her toy bench, this has been ideal as she can then sit in front of it to play, and boy has she played with it! She has had the house for around three weeks now and I already feel like its gotten its moneys worth. Its an ideal toy for her as she can easily play with it herself or have her older sister or me play along with her. It is a fantastic setting for imaginative play, it is so sweet to watch her applying ideas and experiences from her own life to those who reside in Larchwood Lodge.
I think this must be one of those products which is constantly on special offer because seriously £69.99 is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a empty dolls house, whether it be with the Sylvanian families stamp of approval or not. But for the £34.99 I paid for it I am quite happy. In fact it was exactly what I was looking for, it is a brilliant quality house that I feel will last for sometime and it has the ability to grow with my daughter as she decorates it with new Sylvanian sets over the years.

Print Since Tony Lama was the 11 year old son of Italian immigrants, he began learning about the boot industry. He studied under his uncle as a boy in Syracuse, New York where he learned the boot trade. Those were the humble beginnings of a legendary bootmaking career. Tony Lama was a cobbler for soldiers stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. After his term, he moved to the nearby town of El Paso and setup his first boot shop. He produced the best fitting, most comfortable boots around. This is when Tony Lama Boots was born. in the 1930's Tony Lama began distributing boots in Western Wear stores and by 1961, Tony Lama Boots was producing over 750 boots a day. When Tony Lama passed away in 1974, his family continued the tradition of quality and handcraftsmanship, making Tony Lama Boots a true American success story. In 1990, the company became part of the Justin Boot family and the tandem has set the standard for quality and craftsmanship worldwide. If you have never tried on Tony Lama Boots, you are in for a treat. Each pair celebrates the humble and hardworking beginnings of the old west. With over 100 steps to producing every pair of boots, today's Tony Lama's incorporate the same craftsmanship combined with modern comfort and durability technologies. This construction and quality makes Tony Lama the most recognized western boots in the world. Not to mention the selection of men's boots and women's boots is outstanding. Whether it's the TLX series, their Handcrafted series or their classic Western boots, Tony Lama will not disappoint.

Sleepy Hollow (1999)
3 Recommendations
John_and_Rose's recommendation
I can't believe that I almost forgot another one of our favorite movies. In early colonial America, young policeman Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is sent to the fledgling settlement of New York City to investigate a series of ghoulish murders. On his arrival, the town council informs him that the 3 victims were killed in open ground, and the heads had disappeared - taken by a headless ghost that is supposedly responsible. Ichabod is unconvinced of this, but learns more about the ghostly horseman - it is the ghost of a Hessian sent by the British during the revolutionary war, and he was caught by redcoats and decapitated with his own sword. When Ichabod sees the ghost kill one of the town council members, his skepticism evaporates - and he soon discovers that the horseman's ghost has an unholy connection to Balthus Van Tassel, a wealthy farmer - and whose daughter (Christina Ricci) Ichabod is falling in love with... This is truly a stunning looking movie - each scenes is like a painting. If you are a Tim Burton fan, this is a must-have!
My Collections:
hanahula's recommendation
Having grown up not too far from Sleepy Hollow, I was more than familiar with the legend when I first watched this film. But director Tim Burton takes it another step creepier, making it all the more engrossing and intriguing. And, of course, Johnny Depp is the perfect Ichabod Crane, entranced by Christina Ricci's otherwordly countenance.

You know, this movie is pretty good, weird though. Classic in all but, speaks newage when it was re done. It's good nonetheless.

Nairobi Framework
What is the Nairobi Framework?
The Nairobi Framework was initiated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), World Bank Group (WBG), African Development Bank (AfDB), and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The UN Secretary-General formally launched the Nairobi Framework through an announcement at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP/MOP 2 in November 2006 in Kenya. In October 2007, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UN-ECA) joined the Nairobi Framework.
The principal goal of the Nairobi Framework is to help developing countries, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa, to improve their level of participation in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). UNFCCC plays the coordinating role of the Framework, while the other partners are responsible for jointly designing and/or implementing programmes of work.
The Nairobi Framework has five broad objectives:
- Build and enhance the capacity of Designated National Authorities (DNAs) to become fully operational;
- Build capacity in developing CDM project activities
- Promote investment opportunities for CDM projects;
- Improve information sharing and outreach on activities, education and training; and
- Foster inter-agency coordination.
The partner agencies in the Nairobi Framework have resolved to make a concerted effort to provide assistance to developing countries in order to enable them to identify, develop, submit and process CDM projects that will lead to a considerable increase in CDM penetration.
A central component of the Nairobi Framework is provided by the UNDP-UNEP Partnership on Climate Change.

Primo Water's deal with Cuisinart has set its stock afloat and may even sink some of its sparkling beverage competitors.
The purified bottled water company announced a three-year sales, distribution and licensing agreement Monday Cuisinart. Under the deal, Cuisinart will market and sell Primo's sparkling beverage appliances and other products in North America. Primo will supply carbon dioxide cylinders for Cuisinart's new line of sparkling beverage makers, which hit store shelves this month.
Primo and Cuisinart did not put a dollar value on the deal, but say there is significant growth opportunity for both companies in the expanding market.
The news sent shares of Primo up more than 54 percent by early afternoon, gaining 40 cents to $1.14. Shares of SodaStream International Ltd. fell 95 cents, roughly 3 percent, to $35.54.
Janney Capital Markets analyst Mitchell Pinheiro said that the deal could be negative for SodaStream as this is the "first legitimate competitive threat" to market share in this fairly new market. But he also said that it could raise awareness and popularity for everyone in the sector, which would not hurt SodaStream.
However, he said that while SodaStream has grown quickly in the U.S., it may not be a big enough and strong enough brand to fend off intense competition.
Shares of Primo Water Corp. remain at the low end of its 52-week trading range of 69 cents to $6.04. SodaStream's remain at the middle of its $27.60 to $48.13 52-week trading range.

Stop legalization of "dog meat"!
This really pushes my hot buttons especially since our family pet, a beautiful Springer Spaniel named Queenie, was stolen (years ago) and police said that local people were stealing dogs to eat!!! I think that was the first time I ever saw my father cry as he had raised her from a pup and she was always by his side in his workshop. I'm still sickened and saddened by it.
protectionists in Korea are asking for help from concerned people around
the world. They thank all who have written so far as a small victory has
been won; the govt. did not pass the "dog meat" bill, but the practice
is still widespread and is to only be covered up in the World Cup.

Animals at the Shelter and Our Real Pound Puppies' Adventures
The kind people at the local dog pound hesitated to give an exact answer the first few times that my child and I asked how many animals a year they euthanize, only answering, "way too many." They later gave me some statistics which show that, unfortunately, the number in the Sacramento County area alone is in the thousands.
In 1998, of 25,302 incoming live animals (2,963 came in dead), only 4,231 were adopted/redeemed. That leaves over 13,000 animals that were "put to sleep."
The county report shows a breakdown of animals by type, ownership, stray, DOA, euthanized, etc., with 3,607 disposed of by "other" means whatever that means. A 1997 report shows 1,945 animals at the University of California, Davis (UCD) where they are no doubt being used for experimentation and research; the 1998 report shows a high number of animals coded 597.1. If anyone knows what "other' or 597.1 means, please let me know. I'll try to find out from the pound also.
O.K, before I turn you away with these sad statistics, I want to tell you about my experiences with our real, live pound puppies." If you've never adopted from the dog pound or the humane society, you'll find that shelter animals make excellent pets and companions -- though not without some training for them and, especially for the owner.
Mysti, Growlith and Sprocket, Our Lovable
Little Pound Pups
Growlith looked, and I might add -- smelled, a mess at first as his very poor diet on the streets had led to a somewhat mangy appearance, but his fur quickly grew back and his skin cleared up after decent food and several baths. Mysti was very shy and somewhat distrustful of humans at first. As she had been abandoned in an apartment who knows how she had been treated? With lots of love and attention, she quickly warmed up to her new humans.
Sprocket, adopted from the pound two years ago, is thrilled to have other dogs to play with and he's excellent at helping to teach the new pups the house rules. And, I'm happy to say that we've had no damage to the yard YET or to the house. Yippee! Sprocket, who looks pretty big and bad to some people, could tell you something about damage!
Every day was an adventure in cleaning up his mess in the house, salvaging plants he had dug out, and repairing the fence he had chewed holes into until we learned to train him correctly in obedience classes and by listening to my brother's advice about crate training.
Crate training seemed cruel at first to me as he whined, "you're torturing me, let me out", but he quickly got used to it at night and we had no surprises in the morning. After a little while, he no longer needed to use the crate.
Sprocket also wanted to be top dog, the alpha male, so he tried to keep us in line by nipping us. I got so frustrated and somewhat scared, because he's a powerful 60 pound dog with teeth far bigger than mine, so I almost brought him back to the pound myself. Luckily, we went to obedience training classes instead where I learned to show him in a gentle "wolfing" like way that I am the top dog. He's so lovable and loyal now; I wouldn't give him up for the world.
Besides lovable mutts, you can also find purebreds at the pound in all shapes and sizes, like the beautiful, scared little golden Cocker Spaniel that I saw, the adorable Dalmatians, the cute little Shiatsu's, fluffy Chows and Australian Shepherds, brave Pit Bulls, the little toy Collie, Rottweilers, and so many others. So many of them will pull on your heart strings and would make perfect pets!
I can not get the picture out of my mind of the shaking little Cocker, nor of all the other adorable animals pleading with you with their eyes for affection, tails waving, wanting a nice home and someone to play with. Nor, can I escape the memory of the sickest ones, in the furthest kennel right next to the door marked "euthanasia."
One tiny white dog with wet hair and sad, desperate dark eyes, lay ill shivering violently on the floor. She looked at me as if imploring if I would be her salvation. Next to her, in line to be euthanized, the others did the same. An officer was not far behind with blankets. It broke my heart that I could not help them all, but perhaps by publishing this web page, I can help one more.
Please visit your local animal shelter before purchasing a pet. I know these animals will pull on your heartstrings too and perhaps together we can help them find good homes. And don't forget, the grown dogs make excellent pets too! Many of them are already house trained, and you can teach an old dog new tricks.
