The House of Representatives has passed a bill to pay federal workers who are on the job during the partial shutdown, but it was met immediately by a veto threat from the White House.
Federal workers deemed essential and working are facing the prospect of missing their Oct. 16 paychecks if the partial shutdown continues. A joint resolution that includes a bill called the Federal Workers Pay Fairness Act, which passed 420-0 on Oct. 8, would guarantee federal pay through Dec. 15 if the shutdown continues that long.
The measure was paired with legislation to create a joint committee of Congress, euphemistically called a Bicameral Working Group to avoid comparisons with the supercommitee created by the Budget Control Act of 2011, whose inability to produce a spending deal led to the imposition of sequestration.
Passage of the pay bill was greeted by a White House statement indicating that President Barack Obama would veto the measure, saying that the joint resolution "does nothing to solve the immediate, pressing obligations the Congress has to open the government and pay its bills."
The House previously passed a bill to award retroactive pay to furloughed federal employees. That bill passed 407-0. The Senate has yet to take action on either federal pay measure. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the Senate's second-ranking Republican, said it was "premature" to pass the back-pay measure. Democrats, who control the chamber, appear to be in no rush to consider it either.
The next federal pay date falls the day before the date the Treasury has warned that the government will exhaust money management options in the absence of continuing authority to borrow money, requiring an extension of the debt ceiling.

A hudred years ago or so, members of the house, senate, and administration, 'd all be wearin semi-permanent chicken costumes for Halloween. Best we can do now I guess is just make sure each one of 'em gets a time out from office for a few terms. All these argument about well we gotta do this and we gotta do that 'cause it's the law ... our government, regardless of what color state they come from or what color tie they wear, every last one of 'em has gone so far beyond the law ain't any of 'em can be trusted. At the very least, the next few ballots need to reflect that we the American people understand that and will no longer tolerate it. At the very best, we ought t' start seein' a few impeachments and recall elections poppin' up fastern' a "don't tread on me" diamondback strike.
If you don't enforce the laws, the people will rise up with force against the lawmakers. Lawmakers aren't even following their own laws. In other countries this has led to rebellions. Reality is simple. No money, no service. Feds can't be forced to work without a paycheck. A smile doesn't pay a bill collector. People, your President has done nothing but take from you. A dictator dictates orders and doesn't thank anyone. I'm sorry Mr. President, a smile and a thank you from you is so long past due unless of course this is your way of saying thank you - Economic destruction. Keep your thank you - No thank you sir. Didn't he say it would be a slow road to recovery? We are going down the same path. It's called debt - stop spending what you don't have. How many times do we have to tell you? Turn off the power and let go of nonessentials. people who work are essential to America not the lazy one who want to sit home and get paid for doing NOTHING!
I ask that FCW and the media make sure that the public understands that as of this time, furloughed workers will NOT receive back pay until a bill authorizing back pay is passed by both the House AND the Senate AND signed by the president.
You guys put the socialist in power and you were warned. Now you get what you deserve. Republicans wanted a smaller government and so did the Dems. the Dems just lied about it to get the vote of federal workers. Its the Senate who just laid off 800,000 by refusing to vote on the house bills. America - who is the real scum. Whether they vote no or yes - at least vote on it. The justice department needs to step in and mediate the dispute. That's what their job is. That's what the court does for two people who can't work out their differences - they go to court and a judge mediates the arguements.
Why bring comfort and ease the minds of those who didn't cause the shutdown? - Federal Workers. The same for "Essential" personnel who are still on the job. If you are working you should get paid. Labor laws demand it. Our bill collectors aren't just going to say "Its ok if you don't pay us now. You can pay when your employer decides to pay you. HAHAHA. Late fees and foreclosures, power and water turned off will start. These are "for profit" companies and they hear sob stories everyday. The only valueable customer to a company is a paying $$$$ cu$tomer. Cah chinge. Those of us who are working and don't get paid can't file for unemployment because we are working - even if we aren't getting a paycheck for it when due. now who is holding who hostage. Feds have been held hostage with now pay increase for 5 years. Now our pay is being held hostage for services already rendered by the Senate. I trust we will be paid with market value interest - fat chance on that. Welcone to the USA - for the pursuit of lies, liability, hostage holding is the new norm. I thought it was the pursuit of Life, Liberty and happiness. Hippocrite in Washington talk about terrorism. Look who the terrorists are now? It's the Legislative and Executive branches holding America hostage for ransom. YOU MUST DO THE UNPOPULAR THING. RAISE TAXES (NOT THE DEBT CEILING) AND CUT SPENDING OF THE UNENTITLED ENTITLEMENTS. BOTTOM LINE AND DO IT TODAY - NOT LATER!!!!!!!!

A Hindu temple, whose priests were thrown out on to the street last year, has unveiled plans to move into a warehouse on an industrial estate.
The Sivayogam temple, attended by Tamil Hindus across south-west London, was evicted from its former home of 17 years in Hebdon Road, Tooting, in May 2012 after a protracted legal dispute.
Since then the temple has been based under a tarpaulin in Croydon, but the charity wants to convert a £1.8m former shop fittings warehouse in the Morden Road factory estate into a 359 capacity temple.
But residents have complained the site is unsuitable for a religious centre and it is understood Merton Council are set to reject the plans.
The Lyon Road site in south Wimbledon would include a prayer hall, library, nursery, youth club, day centre, and living quarters for priests.
Temple founder, 74-year-old Nagendram Seevaratnam, said: "There will only be minor changes to the building. It will be open to everyone because it will be a community hub for all faiths.
"We hope to open on May 13 with a big celebration."
Nearby residents in Merton Abbey Mills were concerned the temple would create noise during the evenings and see hundreds of visitors enter each day via the footbridge so they do not have to walk through an industrial estate.
Sally Lines, who lives in Bennett's Courtyard, said: "If they are planning three ceremonies a day, and up to 1,000 visitors a day, then this completely changes the nature of the business park.
"A business park is not a place for a cultural centre with children and all, so they want to use our little private bridge and cut a swathe through the wildlife corridor that runs alongside the river."
Merton Councillor Richard Hilton, who also lives nearby, said: "This planning application is totally inappropriate for a designated industrial estate.
"It puts local jobs at risk and should have been rejected before it got as far as the Planning Committee stage.
"Local residents' views are being trampled on in favour of intense lobbying from those outside the borough, while the local Labour councillors in Colliers Wood do nothing."
The warehouse has been empty since 2011 after it was vacated by Octanorm following a management buyout and is keen to be sold by the building's owner, John Armitage.
Mr Armitage said: "There are people who are saying there are going to be 8,000 visitors, but its absolute nonsense. It is likely to be 400 on a big day for only a couple of days a year.
"It is open to all which is very appealing and impressive."
The temple, which would be open seven-days-a-week from 8am to 9.30pm, is supported by Mitcham and Morden MP Siobhain McDonagh and Tooting MP Sadiq Khan as well as neighbouring businesses who are keen to see the vacant site used.
Mr Khan said: "I have known the temple, and its worshippers, for a number of years and have always found them to be wonderful ambassadors for both their faith and the wider Tooting community.
He added: "Knowing that a potential site is less than two miles from their current location would also help minimise the impact on developers."
Merton Council's planning committee, which is likely to consider the plan next month, would need to approve the site being reclassified from industrial to community use.

Comments about PBS POV: I'm Carolyn Parker DVD:
Accolades to Johnathan Demme. This honest look at the aftermath of the levees being destroyed and the compelling poweful Carolyn Parker is a view of the politics of New Orleans. It show how one woman can make a difference and what a difference she made. This is a woman determined to get back what was rightfully hers even though the years were daunting. I was and am so compelled by Ms. Parker that now that I live in New Orleans I am going to the lower 9th ward to see Ms. Parker as well as her daughter. Through all they have been through they have faith and tenacity like no other. This is a must see film and for me they are a must MEET.

As the sun rises over the agave fields, the handmade process begins.
Our story begins in the highlands of Arandas, Mexico. Two men, dressed for hard work and carrying razor sharp tools called the "Coa De Jima" walk row after row. They're called "Jimadors."
The agave grown at this elevation is particularly sweet, and a Jimador can sense the exact moment when an agave is at the peak of maturity, some actually bleeding sweet nectar. They wield their Coa, with exacting precision, to separate the piña, the juicy core, from the rest of the plant.
The agave is then hand-loaded into trucks bound for the distillery.

Clive Fokes recently opened The Courtyard Music shop in Tardebigge and wanted to make people more aware of his new business.

Giants can't beat Cubs after winning protest
Panik hits RBI single in rain-delayed resumption of Tuesday's game
CHICAGO -- The Giants delivered a full effort in their historic half-game Thursday. All they lacked was the result they wanted.
San Francisco launched a serious bid to tie the score in the ninth inning, but circumstance turned Angel Pagan's would-be RBI single into a game-ending comebacker as the Chicago Cubs held on to prevail, 2-1.
Ultimately, the difference was Anthony Rizzo's two-run, first-inning homer off Ryan Vogelsong nearly 48 hours after the game actually began.
But subsequent events overshadowed Rizzo's drive.
The Giants received a second chance to win this game, as the Commissioner's Office upheld their protest of what was initially a rain-shortened, 2-0 Cubs victory. The Giants successfully maintained that the grounds crew's deployment of the Wrigley Field tarpaulin was flawed.
It marked the first time since 1986 that a club's protest proved effective. The Giants did virtually all they could to seize their opportunity.
Trailing, 2-1, they began their ninth-inning surge with one-out singles by Joe Panik and Brandon Crawford off Chicago closer Carlos Rondon. Panik's hit was his fourth in a row since Wednesday. Third baseman Luis Valbuena nearly speared Crawford's liner, but it grazed his glove.
Rondon recovered by striking out pinch-hitter Gregor Blanco. Up came Pagan, who smacked a 1-0 fastball back at the right-hander. The ball initially appeared destined to scoot into center field. But it struck Rondon, who couldn't find the ball immediately and fumbled around for it. However, he quickly realized it was within easy reach and underhanded his throw to first base, ending the saga.
"We all thought when Pagan hit the ball it was going through," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Indeed, a Giants comeback seemed inevitable, if only because they controlled the action upon the game's resumption in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Fittingly, showers halted the game's start for one hour, 57 minutes, bringing the total delay -- including Tuesday's game-ending stoppage -- to 6:31.
Coming off Wednesday's 8-3 victory, the Giants maintained pressure by scoring with two outs in the sixth. Adam Duvall's double off the left-field wall prolonged the inning for Panik's RBI single.
Yusmeiro Petit "started" for the Giants and led a superb relief effort, striking out the first five batters he faced in two perfect innings. He, Jean Machi and Jeremy Affeldt combined to no-hit Chicago for four innings.
But the Giants still absorbed their 11th defeat in 18 one-run games on the road. They outhit Chicago, 11-3, but went 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
"It's over now," Bochy said, punctuating the adventure that preoccupied two teams, their respective front offices and multiple Major League officials. "All we wanted was a chance, and we got it."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/3/2010 (2713 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Kyiv, Ukraine — It is sagely said here that when two Ukrainians get together there are three leaders.
Which might explain why it is that getting anyone to acknowledge that Ukraine is significantly better off in most every way today than it was 20 years ago and it usually and comes with a "Yes, but."
For people younger than 30, it's understandable -- they don't know or they vaguely remember what a basket case Ukraine was 20 years ago when I first travelled to the country to see the Iron Curtain being raised in Eastern Europe after the Fall of the Wall in Berlin.
And everyone older than 30 grew up knowing that authorities were either corrupt or stupid, and so they seem to remain in the eyes of everyone who would have conducted state or municipal affairs better given the chance to lead.
Stop outside the Hyatt to marvel at its gleaming facade and be told "Yes, but it doesn't belong in this district." Note that the Intercontinental has a done a terrific job of mimicking Kyiv's architecture and be told "Yes, but why didn't they restore an old building instead." Marvel at the shops and be told "Yes, but who can afford it."
And on and on. It seems that second-guessing is the first response to everything.
But I get ahead of myself.
The Tourist Hotel where I stayed in Kyiv marked the 20th anniversary of its opening recently. I know this because it says so on a huge photograph taken back then and on display in the lobby. The photo was shot from the top of the hotel on the suburban left bank looking west across the Dnieper River to the original right bank and the historic city centre strung out along Khreschatyk Street.
It shows that 20 years ago, the view was of an unbroken canopy of green, nothing but trees between the hotel and the river about a kilometre away.
Today, those trees are gone, and in their place has risen a forest of high-rise apartments and business centres.
It is this contemporary view that I saw every morning from my west-facing room on the 20th floor of the Tourist. Below were five new, 10-storey, green, beige and grey apartment buildings; beyond them two business centres, one of them a glass cylinder, then three 25-storey towers, then four more down to the riverbank where men fish through holes in what remains of the winter ice on the Dnieper.
(I would guess that what I could see from my window alone would rival total new commercial construction in Winnipeg over the past two decades.)
But this is only a fraction of the new construction that exploded in Kyiv, particularly in the last decade, fueled by a population growth estimated at between 800,000 and 1.3 million, by concentrations of vast wealth as a result of the botched privatizations and the rise of oligarchs after Ukraine threw off its Soviet yoke in 1991, and by a massive influx of Western cash following the optimism sparked by the Orange Revolution.
The changed skyline is the first thing you notice from the windows of the train as it approaches Kyiv -- hundreds of new buildings in clusters reminiscent of those that dot Toronto.
The familiar landmarks remain -- from my window I could see across the Dnieper to the 80-metre tall statue of Motherland and, to the north, the golden domes of the historic churches that rise above the riverbank forests.
But between these icons are the spikes of new high rises and building cranes, most of them idle as a result of the 2008 economic crisis that caused a 15 per cent contraction in the economy and a 40 per cent devaluation of the hryvnia against the U.S. dollar, as everyone is quick to point out.
The contraction, of course, has been painful, especially for those whose salaries were tied to the greenback, and the rapacious and all but unchecked commercial and residential development outrages many Kyivians who resent glass towers rising among -- even displacing -- historic buildings and neighbourhoods.
But for people like me, who remember the dour and dirty Kyiv of 20 years ago when Ukraine took its first step toward independence with a free election on March 4, 1990, the transformation is nothing short of a miracle.
This is most obvious on bustling Khreshatyk Street, the main drag in Kyiv and the heart of the commercial and retail sector. Twenty years ago, it seemed all but dead, especially at night, when it was dark for lack of lights.
The Tzum Department Store, the Kyivian sister of Moscow's Gum, was a bleak place with nothing worth buying for rubles that were worthless in any event. The clerks were sullen, the escalators clanked and groaned when they worked at all. Today it is a luxury department store, crowded with well-heeled and well-dressed shoppers, especially, and as ever, women. It is, in fact, the kind of store Winnipeggers remember the downtown Bay was before the sprawls and malls.
Independence Square, ground-zero during the Orange Revolution five years ago, has been redone for the worse -- a triumph of kitsch over class, most agree -- but it is alive with activity and has a neon glow at night.
Below the square is a vast underground mall filled with designer shops and young people who have never known their city to be otherwise, who only shrug when you tell them that just 20 years ago you could enter shops to find no selection to speak of, and sometimes nothing at all on empty shelves.
I went to a "gourmet" department store where foie gras, 10 kinds of caviar and rare French wines are among its staples and remembered being in a shop in 1990 where there were only a couple of glass bottles of milk and some bread for sale.
In a suburb of Lviv, where the houses would be at home in Waverley West, I stopped at a Metro store and was surprised to find the Ukrainian equivalent of Costco, a giant warehouse of food, dry goods and appliances that could be entered only with a membership card, which my cab driver had and lent to me so I could look around.
I stopped older shoppers to discuss the changes -- the young, blessedly perhaps, have no historical points of reference to discuss the changes -- and was surprised by what I found.
"They change the historical architecture," Igor Shmaruk, 60, said. "I see nothing here that is special. Everyone is trying to copy the Americans and no one knows what's good or bad."
He then reprised what I often heard.
"Twenty years ago, no one went hungry, no one went without, no one was without clothes. Things are run down in America, too. They have worse buildings and poor people. The young people don't know that -- they know nothing and remember nothing that was good."
Given his age, Shmaruk's contrariness might be explained by the fact that two-thirds of his life was lived as a lie exposed by the collapse of the Soviet Union.
At the same time, however, it is older Ukrainians who have suffered most as a result of the collapse. Their working lives were spent in the expectation that the state would provide, especially pensions. There were no private plans, nor was it possible to invest toward retirement, with the result that many today cannot survive on devalued pensions without help from family or their aging selves -- a great many of the street vendors here are pension-aged people, many hawking home-made preserves and foods in the street.
That's not the case for Victor Helnichemko, 58, who is a director with a construction company that builds shopping centres and, by all appearances, a wealthy man.
He said he is ashamed that homeless people can now be seen in the streets and that there are no programs to help them find shelter or jobs. The mall, he said, is a beautiful place but disguises the fact that since the crisis, few people other than businessmen like himself can afford to shop there.
He, too, remembers that old times in many ways were better times, at least they were 40 years earlier before the Soviet Union started its slide toward dissolution.
In fact, dissatisfaction with the way Kyiv has been managed, especially in good times before the crisis, is endemic, Kostyantyn Matviyenko told me.
An engineer by profession, a former deputy of Kyiv city council and a consultant who has just had his second novel published, Matviyenko said that for all that is new, Kyiv is suffering under capitalism from the same old incompetence and corruption that was the hallmark of Soviet times.
He said the expansion of wealth in the decade prior to 2008 created such pressures on city planning that it was abandoned in favour of schemes that enriched individuals but not the physical city itself.
Roads that needed to be rebuilt were paved instead with interlocking bricks that are now failing with the result that now both street surfaces and foundations need to be repaired at exactly the time that the easy money post crisis has evaporated.
The thirst for fresh water created by growth, meanwhile, was quenched by sinking wells into the aquifer instead of building purification capacity. Today, the aquifer has been seriously drained and its purity is being degraded because the wells allow street runoff, even sewage, to find its way deep underground, he said.
The uncounted new buildings were raised with no expansion of existing sewage and water systems. The result? They are operating far beyond capacity and have become "disasters waiting to happen."
Parks have been sacrificed to new construction, the city's ex-urban green belt has been invaded, and even the protected riverbank forest now boasts a massive development raised in defiance of authorities and completed while the city and developer fought for years in the courts. The city eventually won, but by then it was too late to do anything but prevent the building from being occupied. But what's the sense of that, really?
Matviyenko blames former mayor Alexander Chelchemko for wasting money in early good times, and he blames the current mayor, Leonid Chernovetsky, for continuing to do so until last year when the good times ended.
Chernovetsky, an oligarch by most definitions, worth some $700 million having sold a bank he directed in Soviet times and acquired by means unknown in post-Soviet times, has cancelled the construction of two new bridges and subway system extensions so that streets built in horse-and-carriage times are today coping with one million automobiles. The pressure on parking is evident on the sidewalks, which are choked with parked cars.
"So yes, the city looks good, it looks nice, there are many nice coffee shops," Matviyenko said. "But you should remember that the parks are gone, that the water is in danger and that the quality that you think you see is not high quality."
To which I say: Yes, but, isn't it better to have today's problems in an independent Ukraine than yesterday's problems in the Soviet Union?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/10/2013 (1416 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The series title is also a declaration: Super Fun Night.
But here's the inevitable question: For whom?
Super Fun Night, which premieres tonight at 8:30 p.m. on ABC and Citytv, certainly ranks among the most heavily hyped of this fall's new prime-time arrivals. In addition to endless promotion and the gift of perhaps the best lead-in (Modern Family) ABC has to offer, the run-up to Super Fun Night's première has also been filled with predictions the show's star, Aussie import Rebel Wilson, is destined to become TV's next big comedy thing.
There's no question Wilson -- who had a memorable bit part as Kristen Wiig's off-putting roommate in Bridesmaids -- is a unique performer who makes an indelible first impression, but many who tune in to the series premiere will be left feeling that Super Fun Night is far, far too much of what, in smaller doses, might have been a good thing.
Simply put, Wilson is a big girl. And despite some obvious quirky charm and keen comedic instincts, she's stuck in a show/role that relies almost completely on fat jokes, both visual and verbal, that quickly begin to feel more pathetic than amusing.
In two episodes provided for preview, Wilson endures a steady stream of sight gags that involve her clothing being accidentally ripped away or torn open to reveal her heavy-set physique in a variety of embarrassing undergarments.
It's too much of too much. Or maybe too much of not enough. It's just too much, period.
The premise of Super Fun Night involves an awkward but somehow upwardly mobile New York lawyer, Kimmie Boubier (Wilson), whose social life for the past 13 years has been restricted to Friday evenings in with two equally loser-ish girlfriends, Helen-Alice and Marika (Liza Lapira, Lauren Ash).
After being promoted and meeting the boss's charming son, Richard (Kevin Bishop), Kimmie suddenly finds herself forced to consider venturing out into the world and into actual social situations. Super Fun Night is overloaded with jokes about being overweight followed by moments in which Kimmie's indomitable spirit allows her to achieve some small victory the show's producers clearly think will excuse all the earlier discomfort. Which, of course, they do not.
Super Fun Night has an element of sweetness at its core, but it's buried under the weight of the show's one-joke excess. As nights go, this one never succeeds at becoming super or fun.

Sean as saviour?: As an equal partner in the cast of Will & Grace, Sean Hayes played a big part in prolonging NBC's reign as the home of Thursday's must-see TV lineup.
Those days are long gone, but Hayes is returning to prime time in a new sitcom called Sean Saves the World, which NBC's programmers hope will help re-establish the network as a comedy destination on Thursdays.
Sadly, this version of Sean isn't likely to save anything. Sean Saves the World, which gets an early start in Canada (tonight at 8 p.m. on Global) before arriving in its Thursday slot on NBC, is a traditional (not a compliment) comedy filled with forced, setup-punchline jokes, treacly "lesson" moments and an overbearing laugh track that's trying way too hard to convince viewers something funny is being said.
Hayes plays Sean, a guy who got married, fathered a child, realized he's gay and got divorced. Now, 14 years later, the daughter's mom has taken a job in New York and Sean is struggling to cope with primary parenting duties.
The task is complicated by a meddling mother (Linda Lavin) and a new boss (Thomas Lennon) at work who's demanding an ever-larger percentage of his time. Despite an abundance of canned laughter, hilarity does not ensue.
Despite trying to be both a family comedy and a workplace comedy, Sean Saves the World succeeds at neither. And as a result, nothing -- father-daughter relationship, job security, NBC's Thursday lineup or the world -- is likely to be saved.

- Love this product! It's pricey though Review by Janine
Price Value Quality
This product has stopped the signs of aging I was showing in their tracks. I can't say it has reversed signs, but for sure, things have stabilized. I've been using this product for a few years now (at least) and I always repurchase it. I wish it were less expensive or went on sale more. Also, the packaging makes it almost impossible to know when you are running out, so you get to the last pump before your realize its time to reorder. Love this product.
- Staple piece Review by Ali

This product has made a remarkable difference in my skin. I am in my thirties with adult acne, and I no longer have acne. My face is completely clear. I do have extremely oily skin so I do not experience any dryness. It is the only non-prescription product I have tried that has cleared my face. I have tried just about every product on the market, and nothing compares to this. Please keep this product around for a very long time!

I used a couple of containers of this product and then switched to a different retinol product for a couple of years and am now back to using this again for more than a year now and am definitely seeing better results with this product without any irritation. It is definitely the best retinol product I have found for my skin and I use it every night without any problem. My skin looks terrific and I am 54.

Haven't been using it long but already see the difference. Used according to directions but I never had redness so began using it every night. retinol is definitely the way to go and wish I had used it years ago. Not my imagination; people have commented on how well my makeup looks. It's the same makeup but different anti-aging product. Noticeable glow. It is more expensive than some but it does have 1.0 retinol.
- This lotion actually works! Review by Courtney
Price Value Quality
I have tried several anti-aging lotions and this is the only one that has actually made a visible difference in my skin. My skin has a nice glow, my wrinkles are smoothed (not completely gone, but better), and my pores (which had been really enlarged) are much less noticeable. Also, I had some age spots on my forehead and temples that are completely gone now. I only use one little pump a night for my whole face. I use it nightly now, but I would suggest only using it every other day at first because I did experience a little redness and peeling at the beginning. My only complaint is that it is a little pricey, but the bottle does seem to last a long time.
- Great product Review by Linda

This is a wonderful product. I use it nightly with the eye product to keep my skin youthful. Not other moisturizer needed at night. With regular use my pores are smaller, skin more luminous and healthy looking. I get compliments on my skin frequently, even from my dermatologist. Wish there was more product in the container for the price.
- poetry in lotion Review by genevie

dermadoctor has created such a lovely product in poetry in lotion. i need to share a bit of backgroud about my skin.i am 57 yrs and had been using retina ( prescription ) since 30 yrs of age, strickly as anti-aging due to over exposure to sun ( damage ) .
four years ago i had a fraxel repair procedure. within the first year i developed severe hyperpigmintation with outbreaks ( acne resembling but not acne) whenever my face exposed to any type of light: indoor,outdoor,lamp etc. even away from windows ( i apply sunblock as soon as i rise and through the day and at bedtime. must be a non absorbing and natural: zinc etc.- my skin must be densly covered at all times. before procedure i hadn't any concerns only some facial lines. so sorry i had the procedure!). over 3 thousand i ended spending on treatments for this "allergy to light". my life ( and budget has ) became severly limited.after extensive research i began using calm cool and corrected. amazing! over high cost brands this only one that worked. the only positive result from procedure was the reduction in line depth, but all was the same the following yr. after attemping other retinol products , all of which made my condition worse, i tired poetry in lotion rather believing it would cause more of a reaction etc. but i am able to use it every other day , applied very sparinginly and following directions perfectly. after several months i am beginning to notice some improvement regarding the lines and i THINK ( not sure yet! ) in a wee bit of sagging along jawline. i want to try the wrinkle revenge lift & replenish serum ( when budget permits!) but am grateful for these 2 products. thank you!
- Good product but expensive Review by Martha

I am in my 50s and certainly spend more than my fair share of time in the sun in my teens and twenties. After two weeks of once a day use, my skin did appear tighter, although after using it for 2 months, I would not call it a miracle cream. You will definitely see a difference, however, don't expect lines to be less visible.
- one of my medicine cabinet staples Review by Jeanne

I really love this product. I've used skinceutical's retinol 1.0 before, but I prefer this one. It doesn't dry me out, and there is no irritation whatsoever. I have oily/combination skin, with patches of dryness (even eczema, thank you allergies), but I tolerate this just fine and it really tackles those forehead lines and makes them disappear (along with a good night's sleep). I use different products in cycles, but this is one that's a must for my medicine cabinet, when I need it.

I have been using Poetry in Lotion for 1 year. My skin had red marks at first, but that was the product working as a peel on my 49-year-old skin's age spots. Now, my skin is beautiful and the spots are gone. I use Photodynamic during the day. Love DERMAdoctor products!

This is good stuff. The quality of my skin is so much better when I use this. It keeps monthly breakouts at bay, lightens dark spots, and just generally improves skin tone and wrinkles. And my skin has never been irritated in the slightest. It is pricy, but the bottle allows you to use only the necessary amount, with no waste. And it lasts a long time. I've been thinking of trying prescription strength retinol, but then I think, why? This is great already. How much better could that be?

I've been using this lotion for over a year now. I really like it, I see results with continued use and it is very gentle on my skin. Lines are less noticable (not as deep) on my forehead area and fine lines around my eyes have all but disappeared. Also, my skin looks smoother when I use the lotion. I would like to see the price come down, it is quite pricey and it is a product I would like to continue to use.

- Best Retinol Lotion I've Found Review by Ann

I've had great results with Poetry in Lotion Intensive Retinol 1.0. It keeps my skin healthy looking without redness and flaking that I've experienced with other retinol products, even the low, low dose in the prescription a plastic surgeon gave me. I don't use it every day, just every other day. That is just right for my skin.

I noticed after a couple of weeks my skin seemed tighter and smoother. I am 44 and have spent a lot of time in the sun. People at work have even noticed and asked me what I was doing. Every time I look in the mirror I am shocked! I swear it took 10 years off my face.
- Good product Review by Tess
Price Value Quality
I have bought this lotion 3 times now and have had pretty good results using it. I cannot use the stronger strength Retinol that dermatologist prescribe..my skin is sensitive and it makes my skin flakey and red. I am 60 years old but appear young for my age, most people guess me to be in my mid-40's..I have been blessed with good genes. I have spent a lot of time on the beach over the years and have exposed my face to a lot of sun. I have crows feet around my eyes from squinting (no sun glasses for years) and pretty deep frown lines on my forehead. This cream has lessened the degree of the lines on my forehead but they are definitely still there. I wouldn't call it a miracle cream but it has helped enough that I continue to buy it and use it daily. I feel that the cost is very high and agree that the cream doesn't last long enough. The company needs to either reduce the price of the product or package the cream in a larger container at the current price so that we don't have to buy it quite so often. More people would buy the product if it were more affordable and those of us that are buying it now would continue to buy it for years to come. At the price it is now being sold for, I for one will eventually replace the product with another more affordable product.
- Excellent Stuff Review by Nikki
Quality Price Value
I purchased this at Ulta but was not happy with the cost of $75.00. I wouldn't mind paying that IF it lasted a while but it doesn't last long..........meaning it runs out fast. I only used it every morning not at night and it still ran out before a month was out. I figured, "gee, if I'm going to pay this much for this stuff, I might as well go to the dermatologist and get the prescription tube which lasts a very long time." I mean, the tube may cost me 90 dollars but it lasts and lasts with even better results. But I must say this product is the best I've ever used besides the prescription Retinol tube full strength. I'm 63 and it really made a huge difference in my skin. So if you want to purchase it, you won't be sorry but again, I'm into saving money on things that last longer than a month for a one time a day use. IF they lower the price, then I'll buy it regularly but not until they lower the cost.

This stuff is amazing. I'll never see my mid-70s again, and yet I get many compliments on my skin. Admittedly, I had a mother who was a stickler for caring for it constantly, particularly when it came to minimizing exposure to the sun. And I chose a career that keeps me out of doors. But Poetry in Lotion has handled those developing lines and keeps my skin smooth and clear. The best!!

It does work like everyone says but the cost is just too high for my taste. Gee, I can go to my dermatologist and get the real stuff and it works even better. If I'm going to pay this much, I might as well pay for the real thing. That's how I see it.

I just recently got this product at a department store and have been using it for almost 2 weeks now. I have very sensitive skin and common aging issues as well. This product does not irritate my skin but it does make my skin have a rosy pink look the day after, which is NOT a problem. I actually had someone comment on my skin today about how refreshed it looked. That just gave me affirmation that this product is true to its word! I will continue to use this product until it runs out and then I'll buy more! Thank you for creating such an awesome product even more me!
- A Product that perfoms as promised Review by Sunniebreez, PTC, GA
Quality Price Value
I started using this product just about a week ago. I apply it every other day like instructed (building up to daily) and I can tell you I was not expecting such noticable results in such a short time. I went to bed 40 something, with deep lines around my mouth, forehead and eyes and I woke with a 30 something face. My lines are all but gone and my skin feels soft, firm and bright. I use the eye cream twice a day and it's just as effective as the poetry in lotion. I don't know if my results are typical results, but I am really pleased with the product: it has boosted my confidence. For the record, I have sensative skin and I haven't had any problems using this product (as instructed). I would recommend it to anyone who wants to breath some youthful life into their complextion. I have tried several others, any they either did not work or caused some serious reactions and then I found this and now I can stop searching.

I love this product. I use it every night, and my skin has never felt this smooth and clear. My skin feels better now at age 33 then it ever did in my 20's or even my teens.

Love it! Works great. I use it almost every night--sometimes I get peely & take a night off. My "lock" on the pump broke within a week, if you lock it, you can't re-open it. It is pricey... that's why I only gave it 4 stars. But, I will contnue to use it as long as I can afford it. I wish you'd cut the price & revise the packaging
- Fabulous! Review by SBA, Orange County, CA
Quality Price Value
My skin has never looked better. I'm 44, but since I've been using Poetry in Lotion, I barely think about my age when I look in the mirror. I've used this for about six months, so far, with 0 irritation from this serum, and much improvement in my skin's appearance. It's a dual-purpose retinol + moisturizer for me. I use Poetry in Lotion every night, and I experienced skin irritation only when I tried using it while using a 12% AHA during the day. I dropped the daytime AHA lotion, and began using Wrinkle Revenge 3 Cleanser instead, and my skin seemed to improve by the hour. All facial lines are plumped and smoothed, any minor breakout lasts one day, at the most, and my skin is even and radiant. I love Poetry in Lotion. My bedtime skincare routine has never been easier: Wrinkle Revenge 3 Cleanser, Wrinkle Revenge Eye Balm, and Poetry In Lotion.

Before they were even born, Annie and Jen were the best of friends. Years later, the identical twins are just as close as ever. The two grew up being known as, "The Lehman Twins" around Carroll.
The sisters, 1989 Carroll High School graduates, met and fell in love with Dedham natives and were married in a double wedding on Sept. 17, 1994. Annie married Mike Peter, and Jen married Dave Tunning. Mike and Dave have been friends since childhood.
Each couple had their own maid of honor, best man and personal attendant, but shared the same groomsmen and bridesmaids as they had so many friends in common.
The sisters chose bridal gowns that were very similar, except Annie's had a longer train. Fortunately Annie and Jen decided on a certain style of cranberry bridesmaid dresses right away, alleviating any need for compromise.
Even now the twins still have similar taste. Annie said, "If I come to her house to pick her up and she has on the same shirt as me, I will ask her to change it, but she won't." Dressing and looking alike can cause a lot of stares, but the sisters think it is fun and wouldn't change a thing.
One sister is often mistaken for the other if she is alone. Jen said people have told her she and Annie look too much alike.
It is said twins have a unique bond, and Annie and Jen are proof of that. They are known to finish each other's sentences and have the same pain, but on opposite sides of their bodies.
Jen said, "I love being a twin because Annie is my best friend. We do almost everything together."
Annie agrees and said, "There is no one else that I could call my best friend, we would be lost without each other!"
However, there was one time in their lives when the sisters did not get along as well. During their time at Carroll High Annie said they did not like each other much and fought quite a bit.
Annie and Jen, daughters of Tom and Kaye Lehman of Carroll, grew up with two brothers. Older brother, Jeff, and his family live in Superior, Colo., and younger brother, Andrew, and his family live in Bettendorf.
Annie and Jen took the same career route. Both are in-home day care providers. Annie and her husband, Mike, a son of Bob and Jane Peter, live in Dedham. Mike is owner of Dedham Tire and Auto. Annie and Mike have two sons, Jay, a sophomore at the University of Northern Iowa, and Josh, a freshman at Carroll High School.
Jen and her husband, Dave, a son of the late Norbert and the late Hilda Tunning, live in Carroll. Dave works at the Carroll County Landfill. Jen and Dave have two sons. Tyler in in sixth grade at Carroll Middle School, and Ryan is in third grade at Fairview Elementary School.
In the Lehman household, Jeff, Annie, Jen and Andrew had to be home on Sunday nights for family night. It was their family tradition to be home for supper. After supper, the family played games or watched a movie together.
The sisters learned to cook watching their mom, Kaye, in the kitchen. Annie said as they were growing up they helped their mom when they were asked but didn't do much cooking on their own. Washing dishes was their main responsibility, and the girls took turns washing and drying the dishes.
Jen said she owes her love of being in the kitchen to her mom. One difference is Jen loves to bake and cook, while Annie prefers to stick more with cooking and less with baking.
The sisters are always on the lookout for new recipe ideas for their families. Annie was the first to discover the online site Pinterest, and about a week later, Jen joined in on the fun. Annie and Jen love Pinterest for both recipes and craft and activity ideas for their in-home day cares. Annie loves to see what everyone else is pinning and to see if she and her friends share the same taste.
Not every Pinterest idea Annie has tried has turned out well. She admits she and her family have gone to bed hungry a couple of nights, but says that's part of the fun of trying something new. Jen also loves being adventuresome in the kitchen, although there have been a few recipes she tried and her husband, Dave, said they were terrible.
Annie and Jen still enjoy their mother, Kaye Lehman's, home cooking. Some of their favorites include spaghetti, steak kabobs with wild rice, and thick Iowa pork chops served alongside a baked potato and homemade Ranch dressing. Annie said Kaye almost always serves a beautiful salad with her meals.
Kaye makes birthday dinners special for her family by either cooking them their favorite meal or letting them choose to eat at their favorite restaurant.
When Annie and Jen were growing up, Kaye frequently made roast with carrots and potatoes, but it was not a favorite of the twins. Now Jen serves roast to her family quite a bit in the wintertime.
The Lehman family moved from Cedar Rapids to Carroll when Annie and Jen were 11. With them they brought a unique Thanksgiving tradition. The family always serves sauerkraut with their turkey. When the family came to Carroll no one had ever heard of sauerkraut and turkey. Each year, Jen brings her own can of sauerkraut to the Tunning Thanksgiving to make her meal complete.
The one recipe that divides the sisters is chicken fajitas. Annie's version uses a variety of spices and is baked in the oven. Jen sprinkles in fajita seasoning and cooks hers in a skillet on the stove. Annie and Jen's families have tried both versions and don't like each other's fajitas, but that's OK with Annie and Jen. For them, cooking is all about trying something new and sharing it with their family and friends.
Annie and Jen are not just identical twin sisters, but lifelong companions, in and out of the kitchen.
Annie's Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas
Annie Peter
Annie's fajitas are made on top of the stove, instead the chicken and veggies are baked in the oven. Annie's family loves her fajitas, but Jen's does not.
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
Cookies flavor enhancer
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 medium onion, sliced
1 large bell pepper, seeded and sliced (I use half a green and half a red)
12 flour tortillas
Toppings such as cheese, sour cream, and guacamole - if desired
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken strips in a greased 13×9 baking dish. In a small bowl combine the oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt. Drizzle the spice mixture over the chicken and stir to coat. Next add the tomatoes, peppers, and onions to the dish and stir to combine.
Jen's Special Touch: Sprinkle with Cookies flavor enhancer (to taste) and mix chicken and veggies.
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Serve on tortillas with desired toppings.
Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
Annie Peter
Toni (Foval) North, a Carroll High School classmate of Annie and Jen's, pinned this recipe on Pinterest. After seeing Toni's pin, Annie decided to give it a try.
4 chicken breasts (frozen is fine)
1 cup salsa
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 packet taco seasoning
1/2 cup sour cream
Place chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning on chicken. In a bowl, combine soup and salsa. Pour over chicken. Cook on high for 4 hours. Shred chicken with two forks and stir in sour cream. Serve on tortillas or as desired.
The Absolute Best Way to Cook Asparagus
Annie Peter
Annie recently found this recipe on Pinterest and instantly loved it. It's very simple and tasty.
On a sheet pan, season asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 8 minutes.
Good Seasons Roasted Potatoes
Annie Peter
Annie likes to make these potatoes as a complementary side dish to any meat, especially grilled.
¼ cup olive oil
1 envelope Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix
2 lbs red potatoes, quartered
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix oil and dressing mix in gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add potatoes; seal bag. Shake until potatoes are evenly coated. Spread onto baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Cajun Chicken Pasta on the Lighter Side
Annie Peter
Annie likes to find hearty dinner ideas to feed her two boys. Annie admits this family pleasing is a bit time consuming, but it's big on taste. She suggests cutting up veggies in the morning and storing them in baggies until dinner time.
8 oz uncooked linguine
1 lb chicken breast strips
1-2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (or to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 cup fat-free low sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon flour
3 tablespoons light cream cheese
fresh cracked pepper
2 scallions, chopped
salt to taste
cooking spray
Prep all vegetables. In a small blender make a slurry by combining milk, flour and cream cheese. Set aside. Season chicken generously with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder and salt. Prepare pasta in salted water according to package directions.
Heat a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; spray with cooking spray and add half of the chicken. Sauté 5 to 6 minutes or until done, set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken. Set aside.
Add olive oil to the skillet and reduce to medium; add bell peppers, onions, and garlic to skillet, sauté 3-4 minutes. Add mushrooms and tomatoes and sauté 3-4 more minutes or until vegetables are tender. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder and fresh cracked pepper, to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low; add chicken broth and pour in slurry stirring about 2 minutes.
Return chicken to skillet; adjust salt and Cajun seasoning to taste, cook another minute or two until hot, then add linguine; toss well to coat. Top with chopped scallions and enjoy.
Jen's Stove Top Chicken Fajitas
Jen Tunning
Jen cooks the ingredients for her chicken fajitas in a skillet on the stove. She also adds yellow bell peppers and a packet of fajita seasoning to her version.
Saute chicken strips in olive oil with Cookies Flavor Enhancer in a large skillet. Remove chicken from pan and sauté green, red and yellow bell peppers with onions until tender. Add chicken to peppers and onion and then add Taco Bell fajita seasoning and simmer according to packet directions.
Italian Meatballs
Jen Tunning
Jen found a super easy way to make meatballs for a crowd.
Dump a big bag of frozen meatballs into crockpot. Add a large can of cream of mushroom soup, stir occasionally and cook until hot.
Cheese Ball
Jen Tunning
This cheese ball is a specialty of Annie and Jen's mother, Kaye Lehman, of Carroll. Kaye often makes it for family gatherings.

2 pkgs Carl Buddig beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons horseradish
Mix together and shape into a ball. Chill overnight. Serve with Club crackers.
Jalapeno Popper Dip
Jen Tunning
Jen found this hot appetizer on Pinterest. She can make it before a party and then thrown it in the oven when guests arrive.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of the ingredients into a medium bowl. Stir well. Transfer to an oven proof dish. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle all over the top of the dip. Bake the dip for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly.
Spicy Cream Cheese Roll Ups
Jen Tunning
Tortilla roll ups are a fun party snack that can be made ahead of time. This version gets kicked up a notch by adding chipotle seasoning.
8 oz pkg fat-free or low fat cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend
3 tablespoons green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons red pepper, finely chopped
4 large flour tortillas
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except tortillas. Divide mixture into four. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese mixture on each flour tortilla. Starting at one end, gently roll tortillas into a tight tube. Wrap and chill until ready to serve. To serve, unwrap roll, trim edges of tortilla and slice into eight 1-inch slices. Serve slices on their side on a colorful platter.
Stuffed Mushrooms
Jen Tunning
This is an appetizer that seems like a lot of work, but it's really easy for Jen to throw together before family or friends come over.
2 pkgs cream cheese
1 pkg real bacon pieces
cheddar cheese, shredded
garlic salt
big button mushrooms
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash the mushrooms and cut out the stems. Mix together cream cheese, bacon, cheese, and garlic salt. Fill each mushroom and bake for 25 minutes.
Matt Owens' Famous Breakfast Pizza

Consumers appear to have enjoyed early navels picked using the California Standard.
The new maturity standard took effect this season after California growers watched pre-Christmas sales diminish in the past decade from 2 million cartons to 1 million cartons.
"There was a clear message there," said Joel Nelsen, president of California Citrus Mutual, Exeter.
"We've confirmed that if we put a consistently better-flavored piece of fruit in the marketplace at the beginning of the season, consumers will react positively," Nelsen said.
The standard doesn't mean some fruit is not getting harvested, he said, it means the fruit is getting harvested at a different time, or growers are harvesting in different places earlier.
While growers were concerned the standard would mean delaying the start of the season, it had no effect at all, said Neil Galone, vice president of sales and marketing for Orange Cove, Calif.-based Booth Ranches.
"Every year we either wait on color or we wait on flavor," Galone said.
"This year we had excellent flavor long before we had acceptable color. As we waited for color, the flavor continued to improve."
Retailers were happy to promote the early navels because customers were coming back for more, he said.
Nelsen said years of CCM research showed that the new generation of kids, who've eaten citrus from all over the world, have a different definition of flavor than their baby boomer parents.
"Their palates are a little more refined, and we had to adapt to it," he said.
He said he's proud of the fact that 95% of the industry supported the change.
"We're going to monitor this for three years then decide whether it needs to be tweaked or if we were wrong," Nelsen said.


text: Why can't I create an environment using a running VM on my Lab Management system? 4. December 2012 Richard-Fennell Lab Management, VSTS, Technical Tips (0) With TFS lab management you can build environments from stored VM and VM templates stored in an SCVMM library or from VMs running on a Hyper-V host within your lab infrastructure. This second form is what used to be called composing an environment in TFS 2010. Recently when I tried to compose an environment I had a problem. After selecting the running VM inside the new environment wizard I got the red star that shows an error in the machine properties Now I would only expect to see this when creating an environment with a VM templates as a red star usually means the OS profile is not set e.g. you have missed a product key, or passwords don't match. However, this was a running VM so there were no settings I could make, and no obvious way to diagnose the problem. After a few email with Microsoft Lab management team we go to the bottom of the problem, it was all down to the Hyper-V hosts network connections, but that is rushing ahead, first lets see why it was a confusing problem. First the red herring We now know the issue was the Hyper-V host network, but at first it looked like I could compose some guest VMs but not others. I wrongly assumed the issue was some bad meta-data or corrupt settings within the VMs. Tthis problem all started after a server crash and so we were fearing corruption, which clouded our thoughts. The actual reason some VMs could be composed and some could not was dependant on which Hyper-V host they were running on. Not the VMs themselves. The diagnostic steps To get to the root of this issue a few commands and tools were used. Don't think for a second there was not a lot of random jumping about and trial and error. In this post I am just going to point out what was helpful. Firstly you need to use the TFSConfig command on your TFS server to find out your network location setting. So run C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 11.0\Tools>tfsconfig lab /settings /list SCVMM Server Name: vmm.blackmarble.co.uk Network Location: VSLM Network Location IP Block: 192.168.23.0/24 DNS Suffix: blackmarble.co.uk Next you need to see which, if any, of your Hyper-V hosts are connected to this location. You can do this in a few graphically ways in SCVMM (and I am sure via PowerShell too) If you select a Hyper-V host in SCVVM, right click and select View networking. On a healthy host you see the VSLM network location connected to external network adaptor the VMs are using On my failing Hyper-V host the VSLM network was connected to an empty network port You can also see this on the SCVMM > host (right click) > properties. If you look on the networking tab for the main virtual network you should see the VSLM network as the location. On the failing Hyper-V host this location was empty. The solution You would naively think selecting the edit option on the screen shot above would allow you to enter the VSLM Network as the location, but no. Not on that tab. You need to select the hardware tab. You can then select the correct network adaptor and override the discovered network location to point to the VSLM Network Location. Once this was done I could compose environments as I would expect. I have said it before, but Lab Management has a lot of moving parts, and they all must be setup right else nothing works. A small configuration error can seriously ruin your day.

What You Need to Know
Tuesday, September 11
The Monday Takeaway
Milwaukee was 45-56 on July 29, and Philadelphia checked in at 45-57. Zack Greinke had gone from the Brewers to the Angels. Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence were divided among the National League West rivals. And now, their former teams are all even at 70-71, on the periphery of a wild-card race that 40 days ago seemed light-years away.
The Brewers have won five of their last seven games, 10 of their last 13, and 16 of their last 21, including a 4-1 victory over the Braves last night. The Phillies are riding a five-game winning streak, and they have won nine of 11, 13 of 17, and 16 of 22, a stretch that includes a sweep over the Nationals, series wins over the Braves and Reds, and a 3-1 decision over the Marlins on Monday.
Is it too little, too late? Probably, but Brewers manager Ron Roenicke is enjoying the ride, and Phillies skipper Charlie Manuel never gave up on his team's ability to return to .500 and give its rivals a late-summer scare.
Roenicke's squad lost Prince Fielder to the Tigers in free agency this past offseason, but general manager Doug Melvin found a capable replacement in Aramis Ramirez (3.2 WARP)—who has nearly equaled Fielder's output of 3.6 WARP for Detroit—and an under-the-radar bargain in Norichika Aoki (1.6 WARP). Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of Most Valuable Player candidate Ryan Braun (5.5 WARP), Milwaukee could not overcome Fielder's departure, which has been compounded by a league-high 27 blown saves, a prolonged slump from Rickie Weeks (-0.3 WARP), and a long-term injury to Shaun Marcum, who missed 61 games with tightness in his elbow three seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
Injuries were the culprit in Philadelphia, too, as Chase Utley (knee) and Ryan Howard (Achilles) missed the better part of the first half, leaving the right side of the infield in the hands of a replacement-level motley crew led by Ty Wigginton and Freddy Galvis. It has also been a long season for the once-vaunted Phillies pitching staff—especially for Roy Halladay, who missed 50 days with shoulder soreness and is still searching for his first complete game, and Cliff Lee, who had to wait 14 starts before the makeshift offense could muster enough runs to deliver his first win.
The Phillies are 33-23 since Utley and Howard joined forces for the first time on July 6, good for a .589 winning percentage that would put them in second place at 83-58, four games behind the Nationals and two ahead of the Braves, if projected over the entire season to date. The Brewers are 23-29 in one-run games and have a run differential of +28, commensurate with a 73-68 ledger that would push them ahead of the Pirates and into the thick of the chase for the second wild-card spot, two games behind the 75-66 Cardinals and one shy of the 74-67 Dodgers, were it not for a series of costly bullpen meltdowns.
But those ships have sailed, and barring several 2011-like collapses, despite their recent surges, Milwaukee and Philadelphia are playing for pride. Fortunately, after witnessing painful springs and disappointing first halves, the fans at Citizens Bank and Miller Parks now have plenty to be proud of.
What to Watch for on Tuesday
Yankees-Red Sox for 15 bucks? If you're in the Boston area, you might as well go see if Nick Swisher can snap out of his 0-for-27 funk in today's matchup with Jon Lester, whom he has owned to the tune of a .317/.420/.561 triple slash in 41 at-bats. The visitors will counter with Hiroki Kuroda (7:10 p.m. ET).

If you want to read a terrific book - this is it! The Goldfinch has it all: suspense, loss, the arts, and a protagonist who seems to be made of real flesh and blood. I don't often give 5 stars, but this is a beautiful story, one where I savored every word. The first 2/3 of the book flows, and I loved the storyline, while the final 3rd has the feel of a completely other book.
Theo Decker lives with his mother in New York City. His mother takes the day off work and they are on their way to a meeting at school, when they duck into an art museum to escape the rain. Circumstance places them at the exact wrong place at the worst of times and his mother is killed.
Left alone, reeling with guilt, he is shuttled about until his real father can be found. He wasn't a good father before, why would he be now?
Theo goes from a young boy to a young man in the story as it follows his life which is far from easy.
Try it today. We have it in print, on MyMediaMall, and also in our new service e Read Illinois.
You may be interested in the painting by Carel Fabritius so I wanted to let you know about a good article by Malcolm Jones at The Daily Beast. Enjoy!

Adnan Oktar: A body without a head cannot survive. Once there is a system with a head, Turkey is a country that can assume the leadership very well. It has experience from the Ottoman Empire. It also has a mature and educated workforce. There is a rational and large administrative class in Turkey. This means a highly successful power. And nobody objects to it. Why should anyone objet to Turkey if people are happy and if they enjoy great service and benefit from Turkey's role as older brother and leader? The benefit to Turkey is this; terror will come to an immediate halt. And Turkey will become very wealthy. All the oppression Islamic countries will stop.
EKIN TV, 29 January 2009
Adnan Oktar: Because there is experience from the Ottoman Empire and experience of state in Turkey. This is something everyone agrees, and we have a very well educated work force. We have very elite politicians and leaders. Turkey is easily strong enough to succeed in this. Egypt wants it. Israel said so just the other day. They say: You managed the region with ten privates and a sergeant and you had no problems. But we cannot manage it with a whole army there, and we are also suffering hardships ourselves. We are also suffering, we are also uneasy. THAT MEANS THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR THE SONS OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, FOR THE HEROIC TURKISH NATION. TURKISH TROOPS ARE WELCOMED AND APPLAUDED WITH GREAT AFFECTION WHEREVER THEY GO.
The article in the magazine, published under the title "The Return of the Ottoman Empire," sought an answer to the question of whether Turkey's growing stronger in the region was to Europe's advantage or not. It said that Turkey had played host to the world's most important statesmen in recent years, that it had made intensive efforts on the subject of the Middle East and that it had even improved relations with Armenia.

Exclamation Javascript problem with submit buttons placed close to each other
Please have a look at the page here. Below is a screenshot where the problem lies:
As you can see, there are two buttons which have been called by a javascript here. Both have been coded to redirect to different pages. However, when I hover my mouse on the Regret button it automatically highlights both buttons and when I click regret it redirects to the page where the Confirm button is supposed to redirect. The Confirm button itself is working fine and taking me to the desired page.
Can't figure out where the problem is with the Regret button. Any help will be much appreciated. Basically each button should redirect only to where it is supposed to as I've specified in the Javascript code.
Disclaimer: I am absolutely noob with Javascript
lets see some code! what do you mean "hover"-what does hover have to do with anything? surely you're not using onhover for user input of a button...
it shouldn't be more complicated than<input type=button onclick(window.location.href = new location) /> for each button set to different "new locations"
This isn't a javascript issue but a HTML issue, in your source you have a label that wraps both the text and input buttons. If this remove this label it will work normally.
sorry, it's not my problem Sgt but what do you mean label? are you talking about "name=" or a div ID?
Why would either of those attributes changed the functionality of onclick()?
This is his page source in Firebug

I would like to <input type="button" onclick="document.location = 'http://audiquattrofinal.tigersportsmarketing.com/attending/index.html';" value="Confirm"> / <input type="button" onclick="document.location = 'thankyou.html';" value="Regret"> my participation in the Audi quattro Cup 2011 - India Finals

His HTML is wrapped by a label element which by default gets event handlers set by the browser and anything inside it gets rendered useless unless you absolutely position it on the page.
Thanks a ton I removed the label class and its working fine now! I was going mad trying to figure out what went wrong
Actually yes the hover has nothing to do with it. But I noticed that when you hover the mouse on a button there is a light blue highlight on it. Now when I was hovering the mouse on the "Regret" button it was highlighting both the buttons instead of one. Now its been resolved and only the relevant button is being highlighted on hover. Phew
No problem, the most simple issues will and can give you a bigger headache then then want.
PS: I am loving Sitepoint I'll be more regular here! Seeing great guys who really know their stuff!!
oooh that label... bahaha i didn't even know there was label tag in html. :lol:
I didn't know there was source included but I suppose searching for his words in the screenshot would of made it easy to find
spiritualghost - get firebug!! after developing in pre-dynamic html, firebug-like plugins or programs are a god send!
Thanks for the tip. I'll get it.
I'm a front end web developer by trade so i have to know these things
There wasn't, he included a link within his post which allowed me to see the source.
I second this, Firebug is the most powerful web development tool for Firefox and i haven't looked back on any other since.

The most ingenious projectile weapon known to man. Commonly created by taking a small piece of paper that had been balled and moistened in the mouth, placing a thin tube to the lips (such as a plastic straw or broken pen), and blowing so that the projectile passes through the tube at a high velocity until impacting in a vivid display of saliva. Over the years, the spitball has become one of the greatest threats to teachers, school administrators, nerds, and obese girls everywhere. Attempts have been made to limit the spread of this dangerous weapon, but the spitball remains prevalent because of how easy it is to create, use, and conceal.
"Oh man, Justin hit Allie in the ear with a spitball. The teacher is still trying to find out who did it!"
"Ha ha... my Dad told me about how he used to shoot spitballs into nerds' eyeglasses. That weapon is timeless."
"Ha ha... my Dad told me about how he used to shoot spitballs into nerds' eyeglasses. That weapon is timeless."

Relative to normal BT4 and Wicd---- The following is the closer look at our Netopia Wireless!!!
The Netopia is a DSL MODEM/ROUTER/WIRELESS MODEL: 3347NWG-006 ADSL GATEWAY.
This NETOPIA wireless allows the following Operating Modes and each of the following Operating modes was used/selected one at a time for each of the PRIVACY settings listed below.
Operating Mode Normal(802.11b-g)
Operating Mode 802.11b Only
Operating Mode 802.11g Only
Also, our NETOPIA wireless has the following options for SECURITY/PRIVACY:
PRIVACY SETTINGS allowed in the Netopia Wireless
WPA-802x1x This setting requires a RADIUS Server ----this was not used.
OFF - No Privacy
The NETOPIA Wireless settings also allows "Enable Closed System Mode" defined by NETOPIA as no transmission of the SSID name and it shows up in BT4 Wicd as UNDEFINED. This gave the previous results.
When the NETOPIA is set to transmit the Wireless SSID name then some of the PRIVACY settings would allow connections in the BT4 Wicd environment :
- OFF - No Privacy (UNSECURE) in the NETOPIA works in the BT4 Wicd with the 1520.
- WPA-PSK in the Netopia Wireless = WPA 1/2 PASSPHRASE in Wicd works in BT4 Wicd with the 1520.
- There is no selection in the NETOPIA to geneate a Wicd WPA 1/2 PRESHAREDKEY.
- WEP Automatic in the Netopia Wireless = WEP (HEX) in Wicd and works as expected in the DELL 1520.
- WEP Automatic in the Netopia Wireless = WEP (PASSPHRASE) in Wicd did not work with the DELL 1520.
- WEP Automatic in the Netopia Wireless = WEP (SHARED/RESTRICTED) in Wicd did not work with the DELL 1520.
- WEP Manual in the Netopia Wireless did not work for any ADVANCED setting in BT4 Wicd with the 1520.
THANKS for any thoughts,,,,your time, help, and/or advice!!!!
