THE PEPPERMINT BEAR SHOW Plays Lakewood Theatre, 12/1-22
Lakewood Theatre Company will present an all-new version of their annual Holiday Magic Breakfast Theatre production with the presentation of The Peppermint Bear Show: Who Needs Sneeds?
Performances will be in Lakewood Center's Community Meeting Room at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM on Saturdays December 1, 8, 15, and 22, 2012. The theatre is located at Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 S. State Street in Lake Oswego.
Tickets are $12.00 for students and adults. Advance reservations are required. Doors open 1/2 hour before curtain. For tickets call 503-635-3901 or or order online at http://www.lakewood-center.org.
The story: Santa's elves, with help from the Peppermint Bear, are rehearsing for their annual Christmas show when the evil Sneed brothers show up plotting to take Santa's Christmas gifts before his yearly sleigh ride on Christmas Eve.
The performers from area high schools include Kaitlin Baumgarten, Michelle Pitel, Solomon Chaiyahat, Voni Kengla, Wyatt Croxton, Matthew Rowning, Dane Shroy, Kyle Fulton, Sierra Kruse, Madison Thompson, Mary Head, Hadley Rentz, Selah Crisp and Culla Galaher.
The book and lyrics are by Michael Snider with music by Dana Libonati. Snider will also direct and choreograph the Lakewood production. Light design is by Kurt Herman and the producer is Kay Vega.
The Peppermint Bear Show first premiered as The Cinnamon Bear Show at Portland's Lipman's Department store which then became Frederick and Nelson. It became a popular Holiday tradition for over 25 years in numerous cities such as Chicago, New York and Maui and now returns to Portland after a 35-year absence.
The Holiday Magic Breakfast Theatre production has been an annual Lakewood Theatre tradition for 20 years. Audience members enjoy a special holiday continental breakfast 1/2 hour before the show and performers interact with young audience members to help them celebrate the holidays. A photo opportunity is provided after the performance with a special visitor in a red suit! The performance is suitable for ages 3-12.

The Day Ahead: Umm?
When wondering if the rally can continue, ponder these nerdy market stats.Dow Jones Industrial Average price-to-book ratio current: 3.61x Five-year high: 4.13x (February 2010) Dow Jones Industrial Average dividend yield current: 2.55% Five-year low: 2.38% (February 2011) Defensive stocks are in the bottom quartile of performance in the last three months (screams portfolios are now too overweighted in cyclicals, meaning valuations have gotten excessive).

Would you eat a stack of 16 sugar cubes?
A label can tell you there are 39 grams of sugar in your soda, but what does that much sugar look like?
We've used regular sugar cubes (4 grams of sugar each) to show how the sugars in your favorite foods literally stack up, gram for gram.
Compare foods, find out where sugar is hiding, and see how much of the sweet stuff you're really eating.
Main Page
And this:
Note: We don't differentiate between different types of sugar - i.e., sucrose, fructose, cane sugar, corn syrup, honey, etc., although there are differences in how these sugars are metabolized. We just used cubes of white sugar as a visual aid. Nutritional information was taken from package labels, manufacturer websites, or the USDA nutrient database. Calorie amounts are based on 4 calories per gram of sugar unless otherwise noted.
I find the visual of how much sugar is in certain beverages to be quite shocking.

Brutally weird holiday news from NYT: Stadium Boom Deepens Municipal Woes (no mention of AY or other NYC projects)
CINCINNATI — Years after a wave of construction brought publicly financed stadiums costing billions of dollars to cities across the country, taxpayers are once again being asked to reach into their pockets.And in New York?
From New Jersey to Ohio to Arizona, the stadiums were sold as a key to redevelopment and as the only way to retain sports franchises. But the deals that were used to persuade taxpayers to finance their construction have in many cases backfired, the result of overly optimistic revenue assumptions and the recession.
Nowhere is the problem more acute than in Cincinnati. In 1996, voters in Hamilton County approved an increase of half of one percent in the sales tax that promised to build and maintain stadiums for the Bengals and the Reds, pay Cincinnati's public schools and give homeowners an annual property tax rebate. The stadiums were supposed to spur development of the city's dilapidated riverfront.
But sales tax receipts have fallen so fast in the last year that the county is now scrambling to bridge a $14 million deficit in its sales tax fund. The public schools, which deferred taking their share for years, want their money.
The teams have not volunteered to rewrite their leases. So in the coming weeks, the county plans to cut basic services, lower its legal bills and drain a bond reserve fund with no plan for paying it back.
"Anyone looking at this objectively knows it's a train wreck," said Dusty Rhodes, the county auditor. "I told them they were making a big mistake, but they didn't want to hear me."
Cincinnati is hardly alone. In Indianapolis, the Capital Improvement Board spent 2009 trying to find $32 million to run the Lucas Oil Stadium and convention center. In Milwaukee, a drop in sales tax receipts may delay by several years the date for paying off the bonds issued to build Miller Park, the home of the Brewers.
Columbus, Ohio, is considering using public money to keep the Blue Jackets in town. Glendale, Ariz., has fought to hold the Phoenix Coyotes to their long-term lease. In New Jersey, a ticket surcharge may be added to help resolve a tenant-landlord dispute between the Devils and Newark.
There's no mention of New York City in the article.
Well, the sports facility financing schemes in New York are different and, to their architects, much superior: the amount of direct subsidy is much smaller, for land and/or infrastructure rather than construction, while the cost of construction is magically shifted to PILOTs (payments in lieu of taxes), given that the land is (and, in most but not all cases, was) tax-exempt. And the Internal Revenue Service has now banned such plans, after grandfathering in the one for the arena.
Of course the tax exemption for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Vanderbilt Yard was supposed to increase the price of the property when sold, but there was only one other bidder, given Forest City Ratner's head start. As the New York City Independent Budget Office (IBO) observed, "It is clear that the MTA's ability to maximize its return from property sales has been constrained."
And the PILOTs in the case of the AY arena would rely significantly on the naming rights that the state simply gave away.
And Forest City Ratner has been good at getting the city, state, and MTA to modify agreements in its favor. Meanwhile, the IBO's analysis that the arena would be a net loss for the city has not been refuted, despite the Times's willingness to quote a deceptive response from the New York City Economic Development Corporation ( an agency that has failed to release a promised cost-benefit analysis).

Help Wales Profit from the Next Major Change to the Internet...
dotCYM have endeavoured for years to engage the Welsh Government and its officials in the exciting opportunity for a new top-level domain (TLD) for Wales and the Welsh community worldwide.
From the beginning, Government officials have been against the idea and refused to cooperate or try to understand the issues involved. They have repeatedly advised government ministers that a TLD for Wales is of little importance.
After the elections in May 2011, government officials approached Nominet, the English-based large corporation that owns and controls the .uk top-level domain, in order to have them compete against dotCYM for the Welsh name online.
dotCYM were notified that the government could not support a Welsh company if there was competition in the market and Government ministers have refused to meet with us or have further discussion.
Months have passed with no news from the Government and we await the beginning of the competition against Nominet, where we must try to ensure that the Welsh keep ownership and control of their top-level domain, against a large corporation that already has a monopoly in the UK domain market and wants to defend it - and has Government officials' support to do so.
The Welsh are going to wake up one day with a .wales top-level domain owned and controlled from England, used to contribute to the 'not-for-profit' Nominet's millions of pounds of profits, huge salaries and bonuses and to defend its monopoly of the market.
The Government won't listen to those who understand the issues in Wales so it's time for complete transparency so that the Welsh public can be the referees in this competition. Please click the links below to get an understanding of the issues. More information will be released as regularly as our resources allow it.
For further information email firstname.lastname@example.com and follow us on Twitter (@dotcymru) for regular updates.
Wales Online - The Government's ContributionDiscusses how the Welsh Government should be taking an active role in the Welsh top-level domain. Instead, it will sit back and ask dotCYM to compete against Nominet for its support and have nothing else to do with it.

It's pretty close to a new season, when there's not much better than lingering with a cocktail at the end of the day, celebrating the return of warm sun and longer days.
It also means that dinner gets cooked and eaten later than usual, but that's all part of getting into summer mode. I stock up on chilled rosé for summer drinking, but every once in a while I like to start the night (or afternoon. Ahem) off with something a little lighter in alcohol.
A few weeks ago, Molly of Orangette wrote about a pretty salmon-colored drink she liked that included the liqueur Aperol, a brand of Italian bitters very much like Campari.
That drink, a Pamplemousse, is mixed with fresh grapefruit juice and white wine. But it reminded me how refreshing grapefruit juice can be in a cocktail, especially with gin in a warm weather drink, blended into Salty Dogs or Greyhounds.
After a short search around my local liquor stores, I rounded up a bottle of Aperol. As much as I love a simple Campari and soda with lime, Aperol might be even better to my taste. It's not quite as bitter and has a tiny bit more sweetness and more complex hints of herbal-citrus flavors.
I made my Italian Greyhound and embellished it a little by rimming the glass with rosemary sugar – easily made in a mini food processor or spice grinder: 1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary and 1/4 cup sugar.
I love, love, love this drink! It makes me appreciate gin – a spirit I don't usually drink- all those herbs, roots and botanicals get along so nicely together and it's dangerously thirst-quenching.
Italian Greyhound with Rosemary Sugar
Rosemary Sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 -2 ounces gin (depending on the time of day)
- 4 ounces freshly squeezed pink or red grapefruit juice
- Splash Aperol
- Combine the rosemary and sugar.
- Rub the edge of a glass on a wedge of fresh citrus - grapefruit would be perfect. Put some of the rosemary sugar on a plate and rim the glass.
- Fill the glass with crushed ice. Add the gin and juice, and top with a splash or two of Aperol.
- Swirl or stir gently - enjoy.

Jim Cramer recently wrote a solid column about myriad Bakken energy producers that could make good takeout targets as their assets are undervalued. I have written about many of the same companies over the last nine months, and I own Hess (HES) and Linn Energy (LINE).
that were mentioned in the article. Given the low financing costs currently available in the credit markets, a pickup in acquisitions in the region makes a lot of sense. In addition, there are some synergies in tying fields in the same resource base together. Finally, the majors are late to the shale party and in a lot of cases, it is easier, faster and cheaper to buy production and reserves on Wall Street than developing your own fields. The Bakken is the most visible of the current shale regions. Production has increased some 500% during the last five or six years. It now stands at more than half a million barrels per day and continues to rise at an impressive rate.
However, new fracking technology is also unlocking oil and gas in many other shale regions throughout the country. One region I particularly like is the Eagle Ford in Texas. It is very similar to the Bakken in that it is has pro-growth state government, improving energy infrastructure (pipelines, storage, etc.) and rapidly growing production. Here are two companies from that region that offer some of the same long-term value as the Bakken producers.
Rosetta Resources (ROSE) is an independent exploration and production company. It owns producing and non-producing oil and gas properties located primarily in South Texas, including the Eagle Ford, and in the Southern Alberta Basin in Northwest Montana.
Four reasons ROSE is a solid growth play at $50 a share:
- Revenue growth projections call for an over 35% sales increase in fiscal 2013, in line with revenue growth in fiscal 2012. The stock sports a five year projected PEG of under 1 (.87).
- Rosetta has some of the best acreage in the liquids-rich Eagle Ford region. Production is on track to increase 30% from this area in fiscal 2013. The company will likely derive more than 60% of overall production from oil and liquids in fiscal 2013 vs. approximately 45% in fiscal 2011.
- Given the company's growth prospects, the stock sells at a very reasonable 12x forward earnings.
- Consensus earnings estimates for fiscal 2013 have moved up over the last three months. The company has more than doubled operating cash flow over the past three years.
Swift Energy (SPY) has operating oil and natural gas properties in Texas, as well as onshore and in the inland waters of Louisiana.
Four reasons SFY has upside from just over $15 a share:
- Revenue and earnings should rebound in fiscal 2013 after both being down in 2012. The stock sells for less than 11x forward earnings and analysts expect approximately 20% revenue growth this year.
- The stock is cheap, trading at 66% of book value, and its enterprise value over operating cash flow ratio comes in around 4. It is just starting to really develop its Eagle Ford properties (78,000 net acres).
- The 12 analysts that cover the stock have a median price target of $25 a share on the stock, around 80% above the current stock price. Credit Suisse expects almost $3.50 in EPS for fiscal 2014.
- Consensus earnings estimates for fiscal 2013 have risen in the last month and insiders have been net buyers of the shares over the last nine months. Most of those insider purchases were at higher prices than the current stock level.

The CEO of the Olive Tree Restaurant chain stated when ObamaCare kicks in, they will put all their employees on part-time status to avoid the ObamaCare rules and penalties.
The employees will not have health care coverage. Will they have to provide their own health care or be subject to the new IRS fines?
How brutal will the IRS be when collecting those fines. I understand that 16,000 new IRS agents will be hired.
The success and world leadership of the country was not built on part-time workers, and asking for something without examining all of the consequences can become a serious problem.

Hi Rob,
Welcome to the Wealth Building Group! Glad to have you here. Hopefully you can take some time to look through a few of the discussions. Lots of good information there to help with your real estate investing. If I can be of any help to you please let me know.
Warm Regards
Thanks Rob,I have emailed you
Hi Rob, please get in touch with me asap
Hey Rob! Glad to have you in the group! Looking forward to seeing some insight from you. Talk to you soon
Hi Rob,
Thank you for the welcome. I've looked around this forum but I'm still learning the site building jargon! Sounds like a lot of advice that I need but first I need to know the terminology! :) The site, you reference, Pourgirlsoaps.com, has gone by the wayside but was a stepping stone to my new site. www.easy-home-made.com. I've built it through SBI and have enjoyed the learning process.
The next step in my journey is to find strong links back to my site and that is my main focus. I've vaguely perused your blog and already gotten some great ideas! Incorporating a blog etc...
I look forward to a couple of weeks off of my j.o.b. to study and get over this next hump.
Sincerely, Lisa
Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm looking forward to it.
Hello Rob,
I got your name from Jeff Long. I have a Word Press site that has been up for almost 2 years now. www.privatepilotinsider.com. I had about 10 to 15 pages, 70+ post and God knows how many pictures and videos. Right around new years all of this cease to exist. I can't post, change, delete or add anything. My web host says he's too busy to help. Have you heard of this or know anything about it? You can contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you for any feed back,
Tommy Eldridge
Rob, Thanks for the contact. I will definitely let you know if I need some help. I am just checking the groups out right now trying to get acclimated. I hope to add value as well as gain insights as I progress in this community.
Thanks for the greeting, Rob! I'm really happy to find a group of people that I nearly immediately felt a connection. Why do this journey alone when you can work as a group and hopefully succeed even more spectacularly?! Besides, I have found the solopreneur journey to be a lonely one sometimes (especially building an online business as I'm trying to do), so being part of a community will be healthy for me.

No domestic area is victim to as much design negligence as the home office, or study if you want to get all la di da about it. Cheaply made faux Victoriana with drawers that won't open, green leather swivel chairs, MDF on trestles and loaded with printers the size of small cars, desiccated discolouring paper work, cold tea, fading and flaccid cacti and cables that go nowhere: it's as if the association with toil and trouble encourages us to create a correspondingly hellish environment. It doesn't have to be that way. It shouldn't be that way.
Given how many of us take our work home with us, or indeed stay at home all day with it, an elegant, functional workspace should be a priority. And you start with a more than decent desk. We have eight suggestions here: from the small, discreet and practical to the grand statement piece, in materials from tubular steel to piano-black pearwood, and by designers from Carlo Mollino to Ilse Crawford. If you're going to spend half your life tapping at a MacBook, at least do it in civilised surroundings and at a desk that brings beauty and order.

Yet again, studies find that using sunbeds increases the risk of developing skin cancer, and the number of people in their 50s suffering from the most dangerous form of the disease has quadrupled in the last three decades. But will sunbed addicts ever be able to stop?
By Lisa Salmon
It's no great shock that a new study has found the risk of skin cancer increases by 20% for people who use sunbeds.
What's more surprising is that, despite the risks associated with sunbeds, large numbers of people are still using them.
Estimates suggest that around three million UK adults have regular sunbed sessions and, according to the industry's trade body The Sunbed Association, sales of sunbeds have gone up this year.
The latest research, by the International Prevention Research Institute in France, who reviewed 27 studies, found that the risk of developing cutaneous melanoma (the most serious form of skin cancer) increased by 20% for people who had used a sunbed.
The risk of melanoma doubled if they started using sunbeds before their 35th birthday.
The researchers are calling for tougher regulations. In the UK, while under-18s are now banned from using sunbeds, the use of the beds by older people is unregulated, and it seems many people are still determined to do anything for a tan.
A major factor is wanting to look good (a Cancer Research UK study found many people think a tan makes them look healthier and more attractive), plus there may be social pressures.
Shops are full of bottled fake tans these days and countless salons offer spray tans but, as psychologist Dr Andrina McCormack points out, getting a professional false tan can be expensive.
"It's not real, it's fake, and some people want a real tan but they might not be able to afford a holiday to get one, so they opt for a sunbed," she says.
Seeing tanned celebrities in the media, peer pressure and fashion are also factors, adds McCormack.
She says: "If you have a tan, even if you're fat and wrinkled, it tells people that you may have enough money to go on holiday a lot, or you certainly have enough leisure time to lie under a sunbed."
To maintain this image, people will often ignore their knowledge of potential health risks.
"You devalue the knowledge to satisfy your self-image and other external influences," McCormack explains. In other words, people convince themselves the risks won't effect them.
This is a real worry for cancer awareness campaigners like Justine Sheils, who raises awareness for Cancer Research UK, and believes using sunbeds for 20 years played a major role in her developing the disease.
Sheils started using the beds at 15 and admits they became a sometimes-daily habit. She knows only too well how easy it is to ignore the risks.
"I'd jump on for half an hour and think nothing of it," she says. "I'm very fair and my friends all had gorgeous dark skin. I wanted to be like them, and a sunbed was a quick way to get a tan.
"I was invincible at 15, but at 35 I was diagnosed with skin cancer."
Twenty years on from her first session, a small lump between her breasts turned into a sore, and Sheils was diagnosed with skin cancer.
"The consultant asked if I used sunbeds, and said what he could see on my chest was what he'd expect to see in an 80-year-old," she recalls.
The malignant melanoma was surgically removed in 2006. However, soon after that, Sheils was told she had another form of the disease, basal cell carcinoma, on her back.
A third type, squamous cell carcinoma, was discovered on her head the following year.
Thankfully, they were all removed, and after a course of chemotherapy Sheils, now 41, says she's "absolutely fine", but knows how lucky she is.
"Looking back, I probably abused sunbeds more than I abused the sunshine. When I think about it now, I think 'How could you be so stupid?'" she says. "But hindsight's a wonderful thing."
Though some campaigners believe the latest research is the "strongest evidence yet" linking sunbeds to skin cancer, not everybody is convinced.
Gary Lipman, chairman of The Sunbed Association, which represents around 20% of the industry, says: "I'd be silly if I said there was no health risk with sunbeds, but the only health risk is excess use."
He believes the vast majority of people who use sunbeds don't over-expose themselves, and points out that while you can fall asleep in the sun and burn, timers on sunbeds prevent this.
Lipman recommends that anybody wanting to use a sunbed should visit a Sunbed Association member salon, where staff will follow the association's code of practice - clients are screened, sessions logged, and the number of visits limited to no more than 60 sessions a year, or three a week.
"We look at your skin and if we think it isn't suitable for tanning, we recommend that you fake tan," he says.
But Sheils believes simply not using sunbeds is the safest solution. "Sunbeds aren't natural - it's like putting a leaf in a microwave and watching it crisp up," she says.
"Because we've not had a good summer, more people will use sunbeds, but it's not healthy.
"There's enough sun protection lotions out there to go out and enjoy the sunshine safely. Just don't get on a sunbed.
"And a tan is easily accessible from a bottle."

An undefeated week on the field gave the UNCW baseball team a bump in a pair of national polls.
An undefeated week on the field gave the UNCW baseball team a bump in a pair of national polls released Monday.
The Seahawks, No. 25 last week in two rankings, moved up to No. 21 in the Perfect Game poll and are No. 23 by Baseball America. They are also sixth in receiving votes in the USA Today coaches' poll.
UNCW (30-11, 12-2 CAA) won at East Carolina on Tuesday before a weekend sweep at George Mason. It plays at consensus No. 1 North Carolina at 6 p.m. Tuesday. The game can be heard on the radio at WMFD-AM 630, or follow along on your mobile phone at UNCWstats.com.
Men's basketball player Keith Rendleman and swimmer Carly Tanner received the UNCW's Thomas V. Moseley Awards as the athletic department's top student-athletes. They received their awards at Monday night's annual athletic banquet on campus.
Rendleman is the Seahawks' all-time leader in rebounds, second in blocked shots and fourth in points scored. He led NCAA Division I in double-doubles for the 2012-13 season. Tanner owns nine school records in the pool, won three CAA titles this spring and is only the second UNCW women's swimmer to qualify for the NCAA championships.
Women's soccer player Kim Currie and men's tennis player Kosta Blank took the Chancellor's Cup awards for athletic and academic Excellence, and Marlee Cadwell of the women's track & field received the Soaring Seahawk Award, given to the individual who has demonstrated a commitment to their team and exhibited good sportsmanship and conduct. The Raleigh native, who is a pole vaulter, is a double major in psychology and community health education.
The women's soccer team received the Team Leadership award for its work with community service, while longtime baseball sponsor and local business owner John Allen received the William J. Brooks Distinguished Service Award for individuals who have contributed their time and talents to the betterment of the UNCW athletic department.

Clinique High Impact Mascara Reviews
Made an Impact on My Eyes!One of the reasons I was drawn to Clinique's "High Impact Mascara" is that it is available in a black/brown color for a softer look. I did get more than I expected. It coats lashes well and remains pliable so that I can add more if I want without clumping sans the "spider eyes" appearance. There is a definite increase in length and volume with no flaking, either. I find myself using this more and more often. — 4 years, 4 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

CLINIQUE HIGH IMPACT MASCARAThis is my go to everyday mascara. The thing I love most about it is that is the first mascara that does not irritate my sensitive eyes! It gives nice volume to my lashes which is what I look for most in a mascara since my lashes are somewhat long and have a natural curl. I also love that a tube lasts longer than average before drying out so I can definitely justify paying a little more than the t...read moreypical drugstore mascara which dries out a couple weeks after opening. I have repurchased at least five times and will continue to do so. I've used this mascara for years, starting out with the samples my mum would get from the gift with purchase and as I got older eventually breaking down and buying the full size. I absolutely love this mascara, but I recently decided to branch out and see if I could find one that I love equally for a lower price. I have light brown/blond lashes and the mascara really makes them defined, longer, and you can build it up to make it clumpy if you like. The formula isn't watery, and lasts me a long time. Overall a great mascara! If I don't find a lower priced mascara I like, I'm definitely going back to Clinique. This is one of the best mascaras i have ever used. It definitly gives me nice length but not too much. It's perfect for an everyday look for school because it helps your lashes stand out a bit but not too much over the top. It also doesn't flake at all and RARELY clumps up. Best mascara I have ever used. I have had countless affairs with other mascaras be it high end or drug store brands and I always end up re kindling my romance with high impact. Long, strong, voluminous sexy lashes and absolutely no eye irritation! I love Clinique for its non irritating eye products, I mean who doesn't have a somewhat sensitive eye area? This is my HG mascara for sure. — 5 years, 5 months agomihshelle | 182 reviews

Great all around mascaraI have heard so many great things about the High Impact mascara line from Clinique and after trying a sample of their Glossy mascara, I was eager to give this one a try. At $18, it is fairly pricey, but still less than many of the other high end mascaras offered at department stores and Sephora (Lancome, Tarte, Urban Decay, etc.). This mascara did not disappoint! I love the traditional, natural...read more bristle wand. It effectively grabs my lashes and coats them with product easily. I don't end up getting this all over my eye lids or under my eyes trying to get to my lashes. This provides a great combination of length and volume, which is awesome. I have even used this on my bottom lashes without getting raccoon eyes after a few hours. One of my favorite things about this mascara is that it leaves my lashes feeling fairly soft. So many mascaras harden on my lashes and make them feel clumpy and terrible by the end of the day. This hardly feels like I am wearing anything at all which is such a relief for someone like me who has sensitive eyes. My eyes are not itching and irritated by the end of the day when I wear this mascara. I am looking forward to trying some of the other variations within Clinique's High Impact line. Love this! — 4 years, 8 months agoHeathRene | 285 reviews

this is a keeperI love this mascara. With my old mascara I would have smudges beneath my eyes by the end of the day but this really stays put. It also adds more volume and length to my eyelashes (they almost look fake if I add lash primer before hand) and I don't have to add layer after layer. It does seem a little on the expensive side but I think it's worth it. — 6 years, 1 month agotaryn.romero | 43 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Corn futures rallied Wednesday morning in apparent response to indications that low temperatures had frosted early-planted corn in the Southeast Tuesday night. That may largely negate the early-planting advantage those states hoped to enjoy. Still, futures may not move much ahead of the Thursday morning release of the USDA Prospective Plantings and Grain Stocks reports. May corn had risen 3.25 cents to $7.335/bushel by late Wednesday morning, while December inched upward 0.5 cent to $5.715.
The CBOT soybean market was reportedly depressed by talk that surging South American supplies were blunting demand for U.S. beans Wednesday morning. Wire service reports also cited reduced basis levels this morning, which may also be weighing upon prices. Recent palm oil firmness is probably supporting the oil market. The looming USDA reports are probably limiting price shifts. May soybeans were unchanged at $14.475/bushel just before lunchtime Wednesday, while May soyoil dipped 0.03 cents to 50.79 cents/pound, while May meal slipped $0.2 to $420.0/ton.
Talk of frost damage to west Texas wheat fields may still be supporting wheat futures Wednesday morning. We also wonder if the latest Doane tweets showing wheat conditions in Nebraska and Eastern Colorado are supporting the market. The latest gains may also have a substantial technical component, since May CBOT wheat futures have pushed above their 40-day moving average (MA). May CBOT wheat futures rallied 7.75 cents to $7.3925/bushel in late Wednesday morning trading, while May KCBT wheat surged 6.0 cents to $7.745, and May MGE futures gained 3.5 cents to $8.14.
Cattle futures rallied Wednesday morning in response to belated news that a few head had traded fully steady at 125 cents/pound in the Panhandle Tuesday evening. That probably signals steady-firm cash prices later in the week. Bulls obviously hope for a burst of seasonal strength over the next few weeks. April cattle climbed 0.70 cents to 126.65 cents/pound in late Wednesday-morning trading, while August gained 0.70 cents to 123.32. Meanwhile, April feeder cattle futures jumped 0.62 cents to 139.22 cents/pound, and August advanced 0.22 cents to 148.02.
Although industry sources indicated cash prices had risen again Wednesday morning, CME lean hog futures fell rather sharply. The drop very likely resulted from pre-report analyst surveys ahead of the quarterly USDA Hogs & Pigs report due out Thursday afternoon (at 2:00 PM CDT). Those data imply the industry has continued expanding despite poor margins and greatly elevated feed costs. April hogs fell 0.52 cents to 78.97 cents/pound around midsession Wednesday, while June dove 1.22 cents to 89.85.

It isn't like the Pacers were burning up the offense and Dun was giving it away due to getting beat on defense and missing a ton of shots.

Detailed Description:
The autonomic or automatic nervous system helps control blood pressure. Diseases of the autonomic nervous system may result in a drop in blood pressure on standing in many cases leading to fainting. Diseases that affect the autonomic nervous system include pure autonomic failure, multiple system atrophy and Parkinson's disease, and can present with very similar symptoms and it is sometimes difficult to determine an exact diagnosis. The purpose of the study is to find out if the blood pressure response from taking a single dose of the medication atomoxetine can help in the diagnosis of these diseases.

Further study details as provided by Italo Biaggioni, Vanderbilt University:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Final Diagnosis (pre vs post ganglionic autonomic failure) based on clinical criteria. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
Probable MSA - PAF with urinary incontinence or an orthostatic decrease of 30 mmHG in systolic blood pressure within 3 minutes of standing and poorly levodopa responsive parkinsonism or a cerebellar syndome.
For Possible MSA - parkinsonism or a cerebellar syndrome and one additional feature.
Probable PAF - orthostatic hypotension and impaired autonomic reflexes in the absence of clinical signs or symptoms of neurodegeneration.
For Parkinson's Disease: diagnosed based on the United Kingdom Parkinson Disease Society Brain Bank clinical diagnostic criteria.

Neurogenic Hypotension
Patients with neurogenic hypotension, which includes those with Pure Autonomic Failure (PAF), Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson Disease (PD)
Detailed Description:
This is an observational, prospective three-year longitudinal study. The investigators will enroll participants with primary neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. All participants will undergo an extensive neurological and cardiovascular evaluation, including detailed autonomic testing and quality of life assessment. The investigators will then determine the magnitude of the pressor effect produced by 18 mg atomoxetine given orally, measured 1 hour after drug administration. Participants will be followed annually or more often if there is a significant change in their clinical condition. During follow up at year 3, the investigators will repeat the initial neurological, cardiovascular and autonomic evaluation. The primary endpoint would be the final diagnosis made at year 3 after the initial evaluation (at the end of the follow-up period) or if they develop significant worsening of symptoms during follow-up phone assessments, based on specific clinical criteria.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:

Is brachytherapy needed?
Hello. I am a 28 year-old woman. I had squamous cell carcinoma on my basal tongue. In my first surgery in 2010-12-13, two tumors were removed. The size of the bigger one was about 1*1.5 cm. This surgery didn`t completely remove the tumor. This caused the tumor to develop to my lymph and salivary nodes. The tumor in the second surgery in 2010-12-31 was removed completely and one of my salivary nodes was removed, too. The pathology results showed that my lymph nodes were not involved. Also, the size of removed part of my tongue was 2.5*2*1.5 cm. Since probably my case is a T1 stage, I wonder whether brachytherapy is needed or not? Does brachytherapy affects my speech?
According to the information you provided the lesion was totally excised with negative margins and the lymph nodes were negative. I assume you had a neck dissection. This would make this lesion a T1N0. Just based on that I do not believe that any further treatment is necessary. In addition very few centers in this country use brachytherapy for the tongue base. The only reason to use radiation in your situation would be if the surgeon is not satisfied of the margins. In most institutions external beam radiation using IMRT would be used.

Infinity Dance Theater Presents Premiere of THE WOMEN'S STORIES PROJECT, 11/17 & 18
Infinity will present the world premiere of a unique and inspiring theater work that includes dance, music, and the spoken word that grew out of a relationship between the company and The Creative Center (Arts in Healthcare). Conceived and created by Kitty Lunn, The Women's Stories Project features five amazing women, with courage and resourcefulness to spare, who tell their stories of love, loss, illness, and aging. Depressing? Not at all. The 75-minute work is just the opposite - it's funny, sad, ironic, and unexpected. It will play November 17th and 18th.
It begins with wheelchair-bound Kitty Lunn's performance of In Time Like Air, a solo created for her by Peter Pucci and set to a haunting saxophone solo by Don Cherry. She "slipped on and off the chair, tilting it, tipping it over and responding to its presence as if it had a personality all its own" (Jack Anderson, New York Times, 2001). The women's solos were choreographed by Kitty Lunn, who also narrates.
Lunn is followed by longtime dancer Lynn Barr, dealing with the loss of her husband of 50 years; Sister Margaret, an outspoken Catholic nun for nearly 60 years, who speaks about the trials of her life, vocation, and mission; and the adorable Lucy, who lost her mother to breast cancer, and after burying her mother in Puerto Rico, discovers she has developed the same cancer. She undergoes horrific treatment and discovers her own strength through art, music, and dance. Lucy takes up belly dancing and Puerto Rican Bomba dancing, which she will demonstrate on the program. The company's scholar is Alice, a native of England, a professor of Medieval Literature, and proficient in 14 medieval languages. She became a wheelchair user as a result of an acquired spinal disease. Alice later began studying dance with Lunn and has now become a member of Infinity. Marcia Bernstein adds a haunting vocal as the women weave The Common threads of their lives. Though these endearing women represent different ages, races, and walks of life, they represent all of us, connected through common threads of humanity, with one another and with the audience in this celebration of the triumph of the human spirit. Performances of The Women's Stories Project will be sign language interpreted.
A New Orleans native, Kitty Lunn started dance classes as a child and performed with several companies, including the Washington Ballet, where she danced in Swan Lake, Giselle, Les Sylphides, The Nutcracker, and the full company repertory. Lunn moved to New York in 1967, and in 1987 while preparing for her first Broadway show, she was injured in an accident which left her paraplegic. Determined to show that dancers can move in a multitude of ways, Lunn founded Infinity in 1995 to expand the boundaries of dance and change the world's perceptions of what a dancer is. In addition to regular New York seasons, the company's schedule has included appearing at festivals in Italy, two seasons at the Kennedy Center in D.C., and the 1996 Cultural Paralympiad in Atlanta. Lunn is also active as an actress on stage and TV (including a long stint on "As The World Turns"), a dance educator, and an advocate for people with disabilities.
Unlike the theater piece "The Women's Stories Project," the programs of November 15-17 at 7 PM focus more on dance, and feature Lunn's Infinity and Toni Taylor's Pi Dance Theatre in works for disabled and non-disabled dancers. Choreography is by Lunn, Taylor and Roxana Lewis, with new music composed and performed live by William Catanzaro, and poetry by Andrew Macmillan.

POINT RICHMOND, Calif. — Transcept Pharmaceuticals has resubmitted its regulatory application for a drug to treat insomnia to the Food and Drug Administration, following a previous denial of approval by the agency, the drug maker said Tuesday.
Transcept sent in its application for Intermezzo (zolpidem tartrate), a pill placed under the tongue for treating patients who awake in the middle of the night and have difficulty falling asleep again.
In October 2009, the company received a complete response letter from the FDA, and the resubmission contains additional clinical study data.

Mix together 2 parts sugar and 1 part hot water. You may want to add sugar or water as needed to get the right syrupy consistency. It should be thick enough to be used as fingerpaint. You will still be able to feel the grittiness of the sugar.
Line your table with paper. Give your toddler pieces of dark blue or black construction paper on which to paint. Offer some cotton balls to dip in the mixture and stick on the paper.
Let your toddler's creation dry flat. As it dries the sugar will turn white and sparkly. When it is totally dry, you can color over it with markers.

ViewSonic has been a name brand in monitors for as long as I can remember, they haven?t always been the best, but they have always been consistent in their quality. Recently, that was reaffirmed after I accidentally dropped the monitor from my desk onto the floor. Yes, I dropped it two feet from my desk, and guess what? It survived. When you take into account that this monitor is only 1.5? thick, you can understand how amazing it is that it was able to fall off my desk and not even break.
The V3D231 is an LED monitor that ViewSonic makes that is billed as a passive 3D display. It isn?t the highest resolution, at 1920×1080, nor is it the brightest (250 nit brightness). However, this has to be one of the lightest monitors I?ve ever held in my hands (weights 6.7 lbs without the stand and 7.9 pounds with the stand). And when you?re carrying this thing around with you to LAN parties and such, it?s quite impressive. This monitor has taken at least a dozen trips in and out of my house and not as far as suffered a scratch. Even when I dropped it in the process of moving it still did not falter.
The monitor itself has anything you?d ever expect to want from a 23? 1080P ?gaming? monitor, however, I would not necessarily buy it for color accuracy or 3D gaming, since it requires polarized glasses for 3D which means it isn?t a 120Hz display and you would be forced to use AMD?s HD3D gaming solution. The nice thing is that this monitor has all of the inputs you really want or need with one HDMI (1.4a), DVI-D, and VGA as well as built-in speakers. I didn?t think that the built-in speakers were a big deal until I hooked up my Xbox and realized that they were absolutely invaluable. Admittedly, there isn?t much you can expect from monitor speakers, as these don?t have much, if any, bass. However, they are quite loud and can get the job done for almost any application if you don?t mind a near absence of bass for the sake of portability.
Left to right, HDMI, DVI-D, VGA, and audio in (green), and headphone out (black)
The panel itself has a horizontal viewing angle of 170 degrees and a vertical viewing angle of 160 degrees, clearly indicating the presence of a TN panel. The response time of the display is also 2ms, which to us isn?t a significant number as long as it prevents ghosting. As long as you keep the response time under 8ms, you can generally prevent ghosting. Because this display is LED back-lit, it?s incredibly thin and light, as well as cool, much cooler than my ASUS LCD. Also, it has a bit of backlight bleed from some of the LEDs, so if you need absolute blacks in your games or movies, expect to see some backlight bleed. In my opinion, this is the only setback of the display.
I?ve taken this display with me to numerous LAN parties and was able to hook up both my PC and XBOX simultaneously and switch easily between the two as needed. Having one light display to carry for either XBOX or PC was absolutely a godsend considering how much lighter and easier to carry it was than my ASUS monitor.
What else is great about this monitor is that ViewSonic backs it with a 3 year warranty, which is the standard issue with most display vendors from what we have seen with the exception of ASUS, HP and BENQ. The monitor currently retails at Newegg for $229.99, which is not a bad price for what you?re getting. You may find other deals, but I doubt you?ll find a monitor as sturdy as this one with the connectivity and features that this one has.
Based on our long-term experiences with this monitor, we have to give this monitor our Editor?s Choice Award.
