* Prices may differ from that shown
My mam recently bought me a few Clarins goodies as a 'well done' present after seeing how well I've been doing at saving money (mainly by spending less on beauty products!), and there were also quite a few free samples in the bag which had been recommended that I try based on what she'd told the lady at the counter about my skin. One of these samples was the Clarins Gentle Night Cream, which costs a whopping £40 for a 50ml bottle.
The full sized version comes in a really nice plastic bottle with a pump action dispenser on top, but the one I have is a simple plastic tube with a screw off lid. The packaging looks really nice, as with all Clarins products it is quite plain and simple looking, but has that air of quality about it that makes it fit the higher price tag.
The cream has quite a thick texture, noticeably thicker than the day cream in the same range, but it still doesn't have that really rich 'I'm going to clog your pores' kind of feel that many night creams do. I find it a little less malleable than the day cream and it doesn't smooth onto the skin as easily, rather seeming to stick to the skin as soon as it touches it, so I need to use much more of this than I do of the day cream. It also has a much stronger scent than the day cream and I actually find it quite heady and unpleasant.
As it's a thicker cream there is a very noticeable difference in the way this reacts on the skin when compared to the day cream; this, although it is more difficult to spread on the face due to it sticking, takes longer to sink into the skin, and once it has done it still doesn't feel as though it's fully absorbed, rather it leaves a light layer on the skin which is noticeable but not unpleasant.
I feel this moisturises well, but despite the thicker texture and the layer it leaves on the skin, I don't find it any more effective at moisturising than the day cream, which is disappointing as I want something more nourishing at night. I actually find my skin returns to normal much quicker after using this, suggesting it isn't working as deeply on the skin as the day cream does. However, just like the day cream, it does feel soothing on my sensitive skin, and is very gentle and doesn't cause any kind of irritation.
Overall I don't really think this night cream is worth the money, particularly because it doesn't perfom any better for me than the day cream which is £4 cheaper
"This moisture-rich cream soothes redness and irritations, empowering skin to recover from daily stress while you sleep" clarins.co.uk (product description)
This cream has made a huge difference to the appearance of my skin in a morning. I used to find I would wake up with tight skin that felt quite dry and sometimes irritated. This is obviously worse in the colder months when the central heating is on a sapping the hydration from my skin, but I suffered from this daily anyway as I work with hot ovens and air conditioning for long hours a day. Now, I find that my skin feels quite smooth and soft first thing in a morning, which puts my skin in good stead for my daily morning cleansing routine. It means the morning routine is more effective, as I am starting with a far healthier and hydrated canvas to begin with. I have found the redness which I suffer from in my cheeks is indeed soothed and as previously stated, the irritations are also soothed.
There is a slight residue left on the skin after using this product, and perhaps people who do not like to feel anything left after moisturising may dislike this cream. I, however, think the feeling is lovely for night time and creates an extra feeling of moisture and hydration.
The positive results may also be from the combination of cleanser and toner I have specifically bought for evening use as well as the cream, but I originally used a standard day cream in the evening, and was skeptical that an evening cream would make any difference at all, but I am very happy with the results and would not go back to using an ordinary cream in an evening. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is not currently using an evening cream and wants to give their skin an extra level of care.
Obviously this particular cream is for us with dry/sensitive skin, but there are creams for other skin types in the Clarins Gentle range, and I have no doubt in my mind they will also work from my very positive experience with this particular cream. Use it and you will wake with happy, hydrated, and stress free skin! Lovely.
I recently inherited a large bag of assorted cosmetics and make-up items from a very good friend of mine, all of which were completely unused and most were still sealed. Within this 'lucky dip' of treats was a couple of items from pretty expensive or 'high-end' ranges of cosmetics such as Clinique, Clarins and Yves Saint Laurent. Now, I'm not one to look a gift-horse in the mouth, and am always keen to try out different items and cosmetics, so of course the goody bag was received very gratefully!
In amongst the bag of goodies was a product from the Clarins range of cosmetics, namely the 'Clarins Gentle Night Cream'. I understand that this product is only available to buy in one size of tub, which is a 50ml tub. The product that my friend had passed on to me was actually a smaller version, a trial sized tub of the product which was in a neatly-sized little 15ml pot of cream. I believe that this size of the product is only available as a free gift from Clarins when you purchase other items.
The packaging for the Gentle Night Cream consists of a plastic tub that is white, with the name of the product printed on the front in red print. There is a peach-coloured lid on top of the tub and the product 's packaging looks similar to that of the larger-sized version, although the trial size (15ml) tub that I have doesn't have any product information on it, nor are there any directions about sensitivity or application. This tends to be the case with trial-sized cosmetics and make-up in my experience.
The cream itself is an off-white colour and first impressions were mainly good; the cream looks to be of a fairly thick, almost 'fluffy' consistency and it looks to have a sort of glossy sheen to it. When I first smelled the cream, I was slightly disappointed to note that it's not an unfragranced night-time cream, which is my personal preference, but I was also relieved to notice that the fragrance the night cream has is not at all over-powering or sickly.
Using the Clarins Night Cream on my face was effortless and without fuss, which is really what I am looking for in a night-cream product as it is used at bedtime! The consistency of the cream is actually quite luxurious in my opinion, and my initial assumption that the cream was quite thick and sort of 'fluffy' was absolutely spot on. I find that this cream is one of the smoothest and thickest night cream products that I have ever come across and smoothing it over my face takes only a second or two thanks to its luxuriously thick consistency.
I found that the scent of the cream was evident whilst I was applying the cream to my face, and I found that the fragrance was noticeable to me for a short time after the product had been applied, but I didn't find that the fragrance was overly intrusive or over-bearing at all. I find the scent is quite difficult to describe, but it smells to me like a sort of generic 'body cream' type smell, or similar perhaps to a sun-care or after sun type product. It is sort of soapy and slightly clinical, but not flowery or perfume-like.
Once the cream had been applied, I found that it was absorbed relatively easily and I didn't need to keep rubbing the cream into my skin. That said however, I did feel that the cream felt quite 'heavy' on my skin, and I felt that there was a sort of greasy residue left on my face. I also felt that the greasy residue was still evident on my skin when I got up the following morning and my face had a sort of oily look to it which is most definitely a negative point for yours truly! To be fair, my skin is quite troublesome and I do tend to be prone to oily patches and the occasion outbreak of spots, and perhaps somebody with a more 'normal' skin type would find this cream suited them perfectly. For me however, it felt slightly 'harsh' to use on my troublesome skin and the oily-feeling (and oily look) that it left me with were off-putting to me.
The plus points of this particular night cream were certainly noticeable, and credit is most certainly due in terms of the moisturisation properties of this Clarins cream. I found that my skin was almost 'baby soft' after only two days of using the product and I could not fault it's softening or moisturising qualities at all. Furthermore, the dry skin that plagues my forehead seemed to finally have its thirst quenched by this Night Cream, which is another massive plus point for me of course. Unfortunately though, I feel that both of these positive points are not enough for me to justify buying the full-sized tub of the Clarins Gentle Night Cream, and I actually think the product is fairly over-priced. I have achieved similar results from products costing around £10 and so I do think that this particular product is one where the consumer is paying a bit more for the pretty packaging and the upmarket brand.
Overall, I would only rate the product two stars out of five. I wouldn't buy the full-sized version and can't really recommend it too highly. It is vastly over-priced, and in my opinion you are paying for the upmarket brand name and not a high quality product.
There is a whole range of cosmetics and make-up products available from the Clarins range and you can find some of this range online at www.boots.com, or in-store in larger branches of Boots, as well as in larger department stores. As at October 2011, the price for the 50ml tub of Clarins Gentle Night Cream is £38.50 in Boots.
A while ago I purchased a lip replenishing balm from the Clarins counter and was lucky enough (well cheeky actually as I asked outright) to receive some sample sizes of their different skin care range.
One such freebie that I was given was a small tub of this - 'Gentle Night Cream' which my review will now focus on..
The pot of cream comes housed in an identical container as that of it's full sized counterpart - predominantly white with the iconic Clarins logo emblazoned in red and gold (though this has a peach coloured lid). My trial size is in the form of a 15 ml pot which may not sound like a lot, but trust me there is almost two weeks worth of usage here if used sparingly.
The cream itself is white in colour and has a thickish, almost whipped consistency to it whilst the fragrance is quite non descriptive apart from saying it has an expensive, generic face cream sort of scent about it.
*~*My experience of using this*~*
As mentioned this is a trial size so I chose to use this as sparingly as I could but with the intention of still getting good results from it's use. As this is a night cream I used solely on an evening after my completing my usual skin care cleansing regime then started to apply as liberally as I could (whilst still being sparse) avoiding the delicate area around the eye.
I found the cream to be just as light and airy as it's appearance and a small amount seemed to go a long way which is why this sample size lasted me 2 weeks. The cream soaked instantly into my skin and left it feeling soft, supple and velvet like - impressive!
This is a really lovely night cream that improved the condition of my skin within the first few days making it appear less dull and seem altogether smoother. The only downfall for me is the price as a full size tub is of £32 upwards so it's not something I could justify buying unless it was on offer.
This did leave my skin feeling very soft and more hydrated than it has of recent and I shall be certainly scouring the likes of Ebay to see if I can find it cheaper. It didn't cause any spots, rashes or soreness and there was no tautness like some creams; particularly heavier night creams, can cause.
Because the pot this came in was so small there were no directions or any indication what skin type this is aimed at but after checking it seems suitable for sensitive skin.
If you can get hold of a sample then try it.
1 star deducted for the price only.
I got a little pot of this in the freebie bag that I am currently working through at the moment and reviewing the products. I always stayed away from night cream in the past as my skin is so awkward. I have Oily skin which is prone to Spots so i'm not keen on using Creams on it, but on the other hand I am wanting to look after my skin to keep it looking alright age wise.
The tub size I got was 15ml so a good enough amount to have a good few goes of this. After looking about for the size and price of the normal sized tub of this I see that this comes in a 50ml tub and this can cost anything up to £36. It does sound expensive but an average price for a brand named product.
The tub is quite simple looking. I got a mini version of the full sized tub, so got to see the tub. It perhaps looks a bit basic with just the white plastic and the writing on it, but the brand name is easy to see. This has a wide opening to it, so easy enough to scoop the Cream out.
The Cream is thick, so I just took a little of this out. It felt quite greasy so I just dotted a few spots of this over my face. This was easy enough to rub in and once rubbed in it seems to soak into your skin easy enough. It doesn't have all that much scent to it, but I wouldn't say it is unperfumed. It just has a Creamy consistency kind of scent to it. Once this had soaked in my face looked a little bit shiny, but I would say it had more of a sheen to it. Anyway since it is Night Cream then only my husband would see it, and he doesn't notice much anyway.
I used this every night until the tub was finished and I felt that my skin felt nice and soft. There was the odd spot that cropped up around my chin area but I can't put this down to the fault of the Cream, as I am forever getting spots there anyway. I just feel that my skin looked a bit healthier and had a nice soft sheen to it, but it wasn't an Oily sheen or that. My face felt nice and soft as well.
This worked well on my skin and the tub done a lot of goes as a little of this went a long way, and if I was feeling flash then I would probably consider buying the normal sized tub of this.
A good Night Cream.
Clarins gentle night cream
A little while ago I wrote a review about Clarins gentle day cream, a moisturiser that just wasn't for me. Funnily enough I wanted to write and review about how much I love the night cream in the same brand and skin care range. It just goes to show that not all products are suited to everyone but this night cream is perfect for my skin while I found the day cream to leave my face shiny.
--So why do I like Clarins gentle night cream so much?--
It is quite a thick cream and it takes a while to sink into my skin, leaving a bit of a greasy texture until it has been absorbed. But being a night cream it isn't like I am going anywhere but bed when I put it on.
I don't really care for over perfumed night cream, which I am pleased to report that this doesn't have. It does have a subtly but pleasant smell to it but it is a very mild and hardly noticeable and after a moment it is no longer recognisable.
When I get up in the morning it feels like I have just put on moisturiser, my skin feels good and it feels well looked after. There is still a hint of the greasy texture from the night before but by the time I have washed my face my skin just feels nourished and I am pleased with how it looks.
The packaging is very typical of Clarins; where almost everything they sell has a very similar design, it's nice in one way because when you have a couple of their items on your bedroom drawer it makes for a nice looking collection.
--Value for money
I bought mine with some left over John Lewis vouchers I had been given as a gift, because of this I decided to splash out and treat myself to something expensive and special and this was expensive. It is £36.50 for a 50ml tub and although this is going to last me for a good few months it is still a very steep price to pay. Like most of Clarins products a little does go a long way and I do find that I am probably only using an amount of cream equivalent to a pea.
I am going to give this product four out of five dooyoo stars. I think my skin feels and looks better because it is being looked after. Also due to the fact that I spent so much on this I am actively trying to take better care of my skin and spend the time cleaning and moisturising before bed. If you do decide to try this it is worth asking for a free sample first to make sure you do like the product, especially before handing over a rather large sum of money for it. One star is definitely removed because of the price, I doubt I would buy this on a regular basis, next time I am looking for a night cream I am going to see what is available at a slightly better price.
I tend to suffer with sensitive skin when using over perfumed and coloured skin creams and lotions so I try and opt for more natural products or ones specifically for sensitive skin. Clarins do a sensitive range of skin care including their Gentle Night Cream.
It is designed specifically for skin that is prone to breakouts and blotchiness and can even be used during those irritated periods to calm and sooth (which luckily for me I haven't had the opportunity to test this theory out yet).
It contains brown linseed oil which helps to calm and sooth irritations and is a source of Omega 3, liquorice extract (which is used in ayurvedic medicine as a treatment for inflammation) to calm and sooth, hazelnut oil (which is good for the circulatory system and moisturises without blocking pores) to nourish and moisturise and derivatives of Vitamins A, E and B5
It is a white rich textured cream that smells like normal vitamin E cream with maybe a touch of perfume and liquorice. It glides on smoothly onto the skin and sinks in very quickly leaving your skin super moisturised but not greasy at all. You can feel the immediate smoothing and softening effects on your skin as it leaves it so silky soft it was brilliant!!
I costs approx £33.00 for a 50ml tub and it's quite a lot to pay if you are buying it as a compliment to the day cream (which is the only reason it lost a star) but I think it's worth getting it just on it's own. I've been using this for a couple of days and I've noticed that my skin feels plumper, softer and more radiant and I haven't suffered any blotchiness yet.
I bought this on my travels as a treat as I had some spare holiday cash to blow. As a teenager, early 20s I always used to buy Clarins products but as age crept up on me as did bills, mortgages etc I decided to look for more reasonably priced products which in my opinion do very much the same as this......in my view you are paying for the name.
Anyway, this 50ml tub cost £22.50 in Aug 2005 and I have recently browsed through the Clarins counters and it's ranges from £26 to £30 in department stores. Very expensive but great for anyone who has lots of disposable income or as a treat.
The tub comes in a white / pale cream box with peach edging. Inside there is a 50ml tub with a peach screw top lid. You can't get in to the tub as it now has a plunger at the top with a little hole in. The idea being that you press down gently and the cream comes out of the hole. Very neat and tidy but I like it when you can get your fingers in to the tub so that you can scrape the last remains of the cream up (you need to at that price) and also you can see how much you have left.
Clarins describe this tub as an 'airless' jar that keeps out both air and light which protects the product's pureness and effectiveness.
What does it promise to do?
Clarins Gentle Night Cream for Sensitive Skin
~ Night time is apparantly a perfect time to calm sensitive skin.
~ The cream is based on Clarins rebalancing complex and vitamins A, E & B5.
~ This cream nourishes and desensitizes the skin overnight.
~ Optimizes night time rest to restore, strengthen and nourish the skin.
~ Helps prevent dehydration.
~ Promotes smoother, radiant, more supple skin.
My experience
I can honestly say that my facial skin doesn't look more radiant than it did when I bought the product in the summer. It certainly isn't dehydrated in the mornings but then again I don't suffer from very dry, sensitive skin.
The product however is very easy to apply to the face and neck areas, it is quickly absorbed and it has a nice, clean, light smell to it.
In Clarins' defence, perhaps I'm not seeing the best results as I don't use all of the products that they suggest should be used alongside this cream in their 'Gentle Treatment' range:
Gentle Day Cream, Gentle Day Lotion, Gentle Foaming Cleanser, Extra-Comfort Cleansing Cream or Extra-Comfort Toning Lotion.
In short, yes it's nice to have Clarins products on your bathroom shelves etc but at the end of the day I would rather buy a cheaper product which has the same result. The next time that I'm on my travels and have a bit of spare cash left over I won't be buying this, despite it's easy application and nice smell, I'm not keen on the new 'airless' jar and my face just doesn't look radiant.........Think I will be sticking to my E45 cream, think of how many tubs of that I could get for the same price!!
Slightly richer than it's daytime counterpart Clarins Gentle Night Cream is manufacturer to re-balance and restore the skin, as the irritant effects of pollution are best eliminated at nighttime / You awaken to smoother, softer, less irritated skin / '

Lol word the Nets will be alot better with Dwight but Orlando's GM really does not want to trade Howard and is trying everything for him to stay... Maybe Deron will come to the Magic next year? That would be crazy
Howard to the Lakers looks like a high possibility because Lakers organization wants to trade Pau so they could do a big trade the Magic and Lakers idk though

World: Europe
EU commissioners to discuss fraud charges
Gerhard Schröder offers President Santer a helping hand
The European Union's Commissioners are meeting on Tuesday, as parliamentarians decide whether to censure them over damaging allegations of fraud, corruption and mismanagement.
Members are due to vote on the censure motion on Thursday.
If it is passed by the necessary two-thirds majority, all 20 European Commissioners will have to resign. But the leader of the dominant Socialist group in the parliament, Pauline Green, has urged members not to dismiss the entire commission.
Addressing the assembled European Parliament on Monday, Mr Santer also promised more scrutiny of the EU budget.
He was was attempting to persuade the European Parliament not to sack the executive over the allegations, which concern multi-million dollar humanitarian aid projects that never existed and financial favours for friends.
But Ms Green acknowledged that among her own political group, there were differences in opinion.
Correspondents say the censure vote is unlikely to achieve a two-thirds majority, but the debate is a political embarrassment for Brussels and has severely undermined its credibility.
Santer proposes transparency
Mr Santer began his address by urging deputies not to vote to sack his team, promising that fraud would not go unpunished.
Mr Santer also announced an immediate freeze on the "parachuting" of staff from commissioners' private offices, or cabinets, into senior jobs.
He said confidence was essential at a time when the EU was working on a series of reforms intended to pave the way for eastward expansion.
Chancellor intervenes
The group would include officials from the Commission, the Parliament and the member states' own council.
Speaking before the debate in Strasbourg, Mr Schröder - the new head of the rolling six-month EU presidency - said he had not told members of his Social Democratic Party in the European Parliament how to vote on the censure motion.


text: INSIGHT: When pressed, online travel marketers release new tools By Dennis Schaal / October 02, 2008 Share 1 -- Online marketing tools such as RSS feeds, Google's AdWords and search engine optimization are very effective and deserve the attention they get. But flying under the proverbial radar sometimes, like the Jet Man who winged it at low altitudes across the English Channel last month, is another staple of the online-marketing toolset: the evolving, emailed press release.If your press release offers a sharp angle or fits into a market trend, it might be viewed online by hundreds of thousands of consumers, shepherding traffic to your website. Otherwise, like the fate of most chest-thumping press releases, it will end up in some editor's email trash bin.Business Wire distributed a short, interesting press release from Priceline.com Sept. 30 on airfare changes from select city pairs for the week of Sept. 29. Priceline's Flights Index showed, for example, that Chicago-to-Washington fares dropped 14% on average, to $255, while New York-to-Raleigh/Durham, N.C., fares climbed 35%, to $230.This press release must have hit home with online publishers who assuredly found value in the content as consumers look for deals during the current economic rollercoaster. By Oct. 1, some of the online outlets that published the release included Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, CBS MarketWatch, MSN, Reuters and Boston.com. Lots of eyeballs, for sure.This press release dramatized the technological evolution of the press release genre. Embedded in the Priceline release, along with accompanying text, were varying image formats. For example, on the Yahoo Finance site users could select View Multimedia Gallery and see Priceline's Flights Index fare-change graphic, replete with spokesman William Shatner in the background palming a "Fare Alert" sign, in thumbnail, preview, low-resolution or high-resolution JPEG formats.But the press release evolution, of course, is still, well, evolving. Unlike with banner ads and other online advertising, Priceline has no measurement tools available to track precisely how many people downloaded or used the Flights Index images in the press release.Still, the Web-centric press release, as published by Priceline and countless other savvy marketers, has come a long way from the days it was delivered as an ink-stained fax.

Ever since the new year started, the Hamilton girls basketball team has been difficult to catch.
Morrisville-Eaton took its turn on Friday night, but the Emerald Knights maintained the upper hand in this long-time local rivalry, beating the Warriors 49-37.
M-E came in with a 4-4 record, but it mattered little against a Hamilton squad whose two stars, forward Jordan Peterson and guard Katie Weeks, are producing on a consistent basis.
Outscoring the Warriors in every quarter, the Emerald Knights never used a single run to seize control. Instead, it steadily built a 38-26 advantage through three quarters, playing consistent defense along the way.
Peterson finished with 19 points, while Weeks gained 16 points, mainly from a trio of 3-pointers. Hillary Hanson (six points) and Katherine Keever (five points) helped, too.
On M-E's side, Abby Clark and Leigha Morris led the way with nine points apiece, while Jordan Klein and Sami Leamer each got six points.
As this went on, the M-E boys team continued to impress, getting another dazzling effort from freshman Will Thomas in Friday night's 75-60 win over Rome Catholic.
Before the Red Wings could settle down, Thomas and his fellow Warriors tore through the first quarter and gained a 30-12 edge.
M-E was up 48-30 at the break – and Thomas had 23 of those points, on his way to 31 points for the night as he made 11 of the 15 shots he took, including a pair of 3-pointers.
Ben Thomas wasn't quiet, either, steadily gaining 22 points, 10 rebounds, eight steals, six assists and four blocks in a superb all-around effort. Jamison Maciag and Marcus O'Hara offered the support as they each got six points.
Now at 7-4 on the season, M-E's boys host Waterville and Poland next week. The girls Warriors play at Stockbridge Valley and Waterville as the Hamilton girls play New York Mills and Otselic Valley.

My shoulders have been bothering me a lot lately. Oddly, nothing seems injured, they just feel overworked.
Not sure what the problem is, but i can feel them giving out while benching with a barbell. So I've been doing light DB bench instead to give them a break.
I've always liked DB bench over barbell anyways. Feels much more natural to me.
Slowly trying to build back up. My focus was on conditioning for mountain biking over the summer, so my strength is down.

Just wanted to throw out a weeks worth of workouts. Trying to get some volume in.
Bodyweight is down to about 175-177, @ about 11% bodyfat. I cut out most of my milk, and dropped about 5lbs and a bit of bodyfat without any extra conditioning.
Strength is down across the board, but I'm atleast trying to keep something going.
Welcome to the forum BCR, nice to have you here.

Gunman, 32 Others Killed in Virginia Tech Shooting
At least 32 people have been killed and more than 26 people injured in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history.
A gasp could be heard Monday at a Virginia Tech campus news conference when the police chief said at least 20 people had been killed, The Associated Press reported. Previously, only one person was thought to have been killed on the campus, which has 25,000 full-time students.
"Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," said Virginia Tech president Charles Steger, according to AP. "The university is shocked and indeed horrified."
President Bush, who spoke with both Steger and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine after the shootings, also expressed the nation's shock and sadness over the incident.
"Laura and I and many across our nation are praying for the victims and their families and all the members of the university community who have been devastated by this terrible tragedy," he told Steger and Kaine, according to a released statement. "I told them that my administration would do everything possible to assist with the investigation, and that I pledged that we would stand ready to help local law enforcement and the local community in any way we can during this time of sorrow."
According to reports, the shootings took place at opposite sides of the 2,600-acre (1,050-hectare) campus, beginning at about 7:15 a.m. EDT with one student killed at West Ambler Johnston, a coed residence hall that houses 895 people, and continuing about two hours later at Norris Hall, an engineering building.
Police said they were still investigating the shooting at the dorm when they got word of gunfire at the classroom building.
"Schools should be places of safety and sanctuary and learning. When that sanctuary is violated, the impact is felt in every American classroom and every American community," Bush commented.
It was not clear if the gunman, who also died during the rampage, was a student or if he died from police or took his own life. Investigators have also offered no motive for the attack.
"Today, our nation grieves with those who have lost loved ones at Virginia Tech," Bush stated. "We hold the victims in our hearts, we lift them up in our prayers, and we ask a loving God to comfort those who are suffering today."
Before Monday, the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history took place in 1966 at the University of Texas, where Charles Whitman shot and killed 16 people from the 28th-floor observation deck of a clock tower, before he was gunned down by police. The deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history was in Killeen, Texas, in 1991, when George Hennard drove his pickup into a Luby's Cafeteria and shot 23 people to death, before shooting himself.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

SUGOI Luck Knicker shorts, £44.99, www.minx-girl.com
- By London Cycling Campaign on at 10:20pm 2 May 2011
- Posted in: Clothing
- Tagged with: shorts, women, clothing, Sugoi
First impressions were positive: they looked great with no shiny Lycra effect, instead more of an everyday casual legging look with discreet padding. The benefit of padding wasn't obviously noticeable though, it doesn't seem to protect any more than jeans. Wearing such shorts as an alternative to everyday clothes does have its advantages though, preventing wear to the seat of your jeans/trousers and not getting dirty before arriving at work. They're also extremely comfortable. We really liked the slightly flared bottoms and there's even a little pocket for keys.
PROS fashionable design, comfort, key pocket
CONS padding doesn't make that much difference

If you didn't make it out to the Bake and Destroy premiere last Friday, you missed out on the biggest event we've had at Tactics in a very, very long time.
If you've been to any other premieres we've had, you probably remember sitting on a dusty skate ramp in the cold with crappy laptop speakers blasting the latest skate rock tracks. For Bake and Destroy, we went all out, renting a massive 20' x 20' tent to project the video in and upgraded to some speakers that actually put out quality sound.
Thanks to everybody who made it out and especially Baker Skateboards for sending us a bunch of schwag to hook up everybody with.

We do everything we can to make our skating special. We've got a lot of great momentum from the last few years, and we're just trying to keep that going. We feel like we have a great program this season that plays to our strengths, and make it stand apart from everybody else. —Skater Charlie White
SALT LAKE CITY — Every time reigning world champions and Olympic silver medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White step on the ice, they see it as a critical competition.
"We always feel pressure," said Davis after the country's most accomplished ice dancers earned a 73.67 score Friday afternoon in the short dance program of the 2013 U.S. International Figure Skating Classic. "We have these goals for ourselves this year. We take this competition very seriously. We want to make a big impact with our first outing."
Their score was good enough for first place, with Canada's Andrew Poje and Kaitlyn Weaver scoring the event's second-highest score in the short program with a 62.61.
"It's where we want to be, where we're at now," said White, laughing at the tongue twister. "We weren't worried coming in about anything in particular or wishing it was somehow different. It will continue to grow, and we'll continue to improve a lot of things as we go over it, as we push harder and build a little more character."
Davis said the two skaters, who won silver at the 2010 Olympic Games, understand they will improve as the season progresses.
"Certainly we're not going to be in the shape now that we're going to be in when we go to world's," she said. "But we're looking to be the best we can possibly be this year, and to do that, we need to skate well here to get the feedback we want from the international judging. We take it very seriously."
Davis and White have been together since 1998, and they feel their past success, which includes an undefeated season in 2010-11 that ended in their first world championship, gives them the perfect foundation on which to build.
"We do everything we can to make our skating special," White said. "We've got a lot of great momentum from the last few years, and we're just trying to keep that going. We feel like we have a great program this season that plays to our strengths, and make it stand apart from everybody else."
In the ladies short program, two American skaters sit atop the leaderboard, despite falls for both. Gracie Gold, 18, the U.S. silver medalist, fell on her double-axel landing, while Agnes Zawadzki, 19, said she fell after a brief "out-of-body" experience.
"I kind of had a moment of, 'Where am I?'" said Zawadzki, who scored a 56.27. "It's happened to me before." She said she immediately regrouped and presented a beautiful spin.
"I'm not here to do perfect programs," she said. "It's September, and I'm looking forward to November and January where it counts the most. I'm trying to find what works and what doesn't. And I'm trying to stop myself from having those moments." She said she engages in a mental pep talk to find herself after those moments.
"I told myself, 'You're right here in this moment'," she said. "'Focus on what you're doing.' I honestly told myself to take a deep breath and trust myself for the rest of the program and present it."
Gold broke the blade of one of her skates during Thursday's practice, but she said that wasn't the problem when she fell after landing her double axel.
"I really don't know what happened," she said. "I was a little bit nervous. ... I thought I landed it. It caught me off-guard because it was almost like I caught an edge. It was strange."Comment on this story
Gold said she'd been working out with ice dancers in Ohio, and it was helping her with the performance aspects of the competition.
"I was pretty nervous today because I haven't competed a short program in front of an audience," she said. "But I was able to stay on my feet, and it looks like a good start to the season."
Gold's U.S. teammate, Courtney Hicks, 17, sits third after the short program with 54.80 points.
The women's freeskate starts at 2:50 p.m. Saturday, while the ice dancers will present their free skate at 5:45 p.m.

I received the following Stop error after a Windows 7 update:
0x00000050 (0xb2e7167f, 0x00000000, 0x832817f3, 0x00000002)
I used the install disk in an attempt to do a system Restore to an earlier point in time (which did take me back), however; the system still reboots each and everytime it get to the Windows Logo screen. This is a Dell Inspiron 531 running a Windows
7 upgrade from Vista (one which has been working for over a year without issue). The system will not boot in Safe Mode of any kind. Additionally, I ran the Memory checker included on the system installation disk and it came back clean. I'd
really like some assistance to determine exactly what the stop error code is since I have searched the Internet to no avail. thanks.
I found the following doing an internet search:
Stop 0x00000050 (<var><parameter1></var>, 0 or 1, <var><parameter 3></var>, 0) PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
There is a very high probability the problem is related to "upgrading" from Vista to Win 7 which has happened to many people. Many Vista systems have/had hardware drivers and other software that are not compatible with Windows 7. Those that had
problem with this scenario found the only way to "fix" their systems was to do a clean install of Windows 7.

Ive never noticed a coolant leak as far as on the ground but I can always smell it after driving it w/ the heat on. Is this prob the heater core or could it be something more like a blown head gasket? If it is the heater core does anyone have an est on what it would cost to fix it?

The Chinese government has decided to implement a new policy which will force all new PCs sold from July 1st this year to be shipped with software that blocks harmful sites.
The sites blocked will be updated regularly through a link with a central database controlled by the government. The software is called "Green Dam-Youth Escort" and it is thought the main content that will be blocked is anything classed as pornography, but such software allows the government to block anything they wish just by updating the database.
PC vendors will be forced to comply with the order to ship PCs with the software, but there is some choice in how they do it. Either the software is pre-installed by the vendor or they include a CD in the box with it on for the user to install.
There is obvious concern over the use of the software not only because it could stop users seeing important information, but also because it may stop PCs working correctly, could give the government easier access to personal and private information on a machine, and may open up a PC to malware depending on what specifically it blocks.
The U.S. Embassy in Beijing is treating the news with caution and Susan Stevenson from the Embassy commented:
We would view any attempt to restrict the free flow of information with great concern and as incompatible with China's aspirations to build a modern, information-based economy and society.
The larger PC vendors are keeping quiet on their plans with Dell refusing to comment while HP and Lenovo have both said they are reviewing and evaluating the new guidelines.
Read more at The Wall Street Journal, found via PC Pro
Matthew's Opinion
In the past the Chinese government have just blocked access to services for the entire country such as YouTube being taken offline there. With this software they get finer control and probably less of a media outburst when shutting off access to a popular service. Now they can update their database and block access to services without there being any evidence of it happening other than PCs not loading a website.
It is clear why people will be upset about this. The Chinese government could have people sitting there checking all the major news sites every day and blocking any news that doesn't meet set criteria. All the sites would still be available, but content would just not be there to view and the user will never know.
As the U.S Embassy rightly points out, if China want to become a major player in the modern world they need to allow the people living there access to all information and therefore all the facts of what is going on in the world. The one saving grace in all this is the ability for PC vendors to ship the software on a CD rather than pre-installed allowing the user to decide what to do. I expect most vendors will take that option.

THE people of North Yorkshire are being asked for their views on how a new community payback scheme should operate.
The county's police and crime commissioner, Julia Mulligan, is asking the public to comment on how offenders who commit less serious crimes should make amends.
In October, victims of low-level crime and anti-social behaviour will have a greater say in how offenders are dealt with through a new "Community Remedy."
Loading article content
It is a list of actions that victims may choose for the offender to undertake as a way of tackling their wrong-doing and will give the victim a say in the punishment of offenders without going through the courts.
And in preparation for its introduction, people who live or work in North Yorkshire can have their say on the proposed punishments and rehabilitation activities.
Mrs Mulligan said: "The Community Remedy will only be used by the police under certain conditions for anti-social behaviour and low-level crimes, such as graffiti, low-value theft and minor assaults without injury.
"It will only be used when the offence can be successfully resolved out of court with the help of professionals. The victim can choose whether or not they are involved."
The survey closes on August 15. To take part visit northyorkshire-pcc.gov.uk/have-your-say/live-consultations/community-remedy-survey/

How to Pick the Best Multivitamin for You
We know — a person could get lost in that supplement aisle. Use this guide to escape choice overload and find your perfect multivitamin match.
Nature knows what she's doing, nutrition-wise. In each juicy orange, every tender leaf of spinach, and all the other foods she makes, you get a bundle of nutrients that help your body do its work. So, yes, fresh food is the first-choice source of vitamins and minerals. The trouble is, you need a lot of food.
"To achieve the optimal levels of vitamins and minerals, you'd have to eat at least 2,000 calories a day," says Janis Jibrin, RD, a dietitian in Washington, D.C., and none of those cals could be the empty kind. "If breakfast and lunch aren't nutritionally on point, think of how much produce and protein you'd have to down at dinner to make up for it," she says. The sheer amount of chewing could exhaust you!
That's where multivitamins come in. They're a great way to cover your bases if, like most Americans, you aren't eating a perfect diet every day. Vitamins won't instantly give you superhero energy or immunity, but they can help you meet the basics for your body to perform the way it wants to.
So now the question is, which one should you take? Before you set foot in the mile-long supplement aisle, use this guide to zero in on the product that's made for you. No second-guessing, no overspending. Just the right pick, so you can get on with your good life.
Which Vitamins and Minerals Should Be In a Multi?
The typical multivitamin contains around 10 vitamins and 10 minerals, and you want to take home one that has about 100 percent of the daily value (DV) of most of them.
"Since there's no regulatory definition of what needs to be in a multi, looking at percentage of daily value is the best way to tell if it's providing what you need," says Jeffrey Blumberg, PhD, a senior scientist at the Antioxidants Research Laboratory and a professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.
Americans tend to get less than the recommended amounts of the nutrients listed below, so it's especially important to aim for the DV of those.
Make Sure Your Multi Contains:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B6 - especially if you're taking oral contraceptives, which can lower levels of this vitamin.
- Vitamin B12 - especially if you're over 50, you don't eat meat, fish, or eggs, or you take a heavy-duty stomach acid reducer like Nexium or Prilosec.
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin E
- Folic acid - especially if you're of childbearing age; it's been shown to prevent birth defects when taken early in pregnancy.
- Calcium - because many multis don't contain a whole day's worth, so compare a few and opt for whichever is highest.
- Chromium
- Iodine - especially if you are pregnant or trying; deficiency may impair fetal development.
- Zinc
Do Vitamins With Whole-Food Ingredients Beat Those With Synthetic Ones?
It's a tie. In general, your body isn't picky about whether vitamins are derived from nature or made in a lab, says Blumberg. In some cases, research has found a slight edge — a natural form of vitamin E and a synthetic form of vitamin B12 may be easier to absorb, for instance. But those differences aren't great enough for you to give up a multi you like and search high and low for something else.
If One Multi a Day Is Good, Are Two Better?
No, because going way over the DV of certain vitamins could potentially hurt you. You don't have to worry about the water-soluble kind (B and C) — your body quickly absorbs what it needs of these and you just eliminate the excess, so you simply end up with very expensive pee. But you can overdo fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), says JoAnn Manson, MD, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. They're stored in the liver and fat cells and are used by your body more slowly. "If you take too many fat-soluble vitamins, there can be real health risks," says Manson. One multi, no more, will keep you at safe levels.
Does a Higher Price Mean a Better Product?
Not necessarily. "Vitamins and minerals are generally inexpensive ingredients," says Tod Cooperman, MD, president of ConsumerLab.com, an independent supplement and wellness product testing company. "When you see the price creeping up, that usually means there are extra and often unnecessary bells and whistles, like herbal blends." So look at the labels first to zoom in on the products that contain all the nutrients you want. Then buy the cheapest one of the bunch.
Is It OK to Buy a Giant-Size Bottle, Or Do Vitamins Expire?
Your multi should be good for about two years after it's made if you store it away from heat, light, and humidity, says Cooperman. After that, the concentrations of vitamins might fall below what it says on the label. The tricky part? There's no law saying companies have to list the date of manufacture or expiration, so your bottle could have spent a long time in storage somewhere. Just buy what you'll use in the next six months.
Can You and Your Guy Take the Same Multivitamin?
Are you both under age 50? Then it's fine to share a non-gender-specific vitamin. It's true that up to age 50, you need extra iron and he doesn't, says Lauri Wright, PhD, RDN, an assistant professor at the University of South Florida. "But a basic adult multi along with a healthy, varied diet should cover your iron needs."
Once you pass age 50, it's smart to take the age- and gender-appropriate option. Most 50+ formulations have extra B6 (your requirements go up) and B12 (you absorb less as you get older). If you can find one with additional vitamin D and calcium, go for it, because you also need more of those as the years add up. Postmenopausal women can down less iron than they used to, and products for 50+ females adjust for that.
Should You Take a Special-Formula Pill, Like Those for Heart Health or Energy?
It's not a must. Most often, the doses of extra ingredients aren't enough to make a dent in your risk for certain diseases, says Blumberg. It's better to take a basic multi and separately add nutrients you need more of (for instance, if you're at risk for macular degeneration, you might want a vision supplement with lutein, zeaxanthin, and zinc). Another concern with special-formula multis: You could get more than you bargained for. One "energy formula" delivers 90 mg of caffeine — almost what you get in an 8-ounce coffee.
Gummies — Only for Kids? And What About Liquids, Powders, and Chewables?
Your body doesn't really care what form the vitamins are in, so choose the type you'll want to take. Liquids, powders, and chews can definitely be easier to swallow. You're fine taking gummies as long as they're made for adults; just be aware that they often contain fewer vitamins than other kinds of multis. "It's easier to put certain ingredients in a pill form than in a chewable," says Cooperman. If you go for a fun format, check labels to be sure you're OK with the trade-offs.
When You Might Need More Than a Multi
If you don't eat dairy, a calcium supplement could be in order. Yes, leafy greens contain this mineral, but you'd have to eat about 11 cups of cooked kale to get the recommended 1,000 mg (and it's 1,200 for women 51+). There's usually not very much in multis — it can't always be jammed in there without becoming so large that only a T. rex could swallow it. A 500 or 600 mg supplement that you take twice a day should top you up.
When a Multi's a No-No
Keep this in mind: Certain vitamins can interact with prescription meds. If you're taking any Rx's, be sure to talk to your doc before swallowing something new. Yes, even a friendly-looking chewable.
The Best Time to Take Your Multi
Have it with a meal. Certain nutrients are absorbed better when there's food in your system. For many people, pairing a vitamin with breakfast makes it easy to remember. Taking extra calcium? It may compete with other minerals to be absorbed, so wait until your next meal for that one.
A Perfect Day of Nutrients Means Working in All These Foods:
- 1½ avocados
- 4 Tbsp almonds
- 1½ cups strawberries
- 1 cup cooked bulgur wheat
- 1 large orange
- 1 large sweet potato
- 3½ cups milk
- 5 cups raw spinach
- 1⅓ cups cooked oatmeal
- 3 oz canned light tuna
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice

Mats Sundin said he has not been thinking about waiving his no-trade clause but would give the idea some hard thought if Maple Leafs general manager John Ferguson asks him to do so in the next couple of days.
"Until then I am not going to think about it," Sundin said yesterday when he was pressed on the issue. "I have not even thought about it."
But Sundin also knows that kind of question might not come from Ferguson at all, and there probably is no chance of such a conversation if the Leafs beat the Montreal Canadiens tonight. However, if the Habs win to put the Leafs farther away in their rearview mirror, Ferguson could open that door.
Sundin will be paid $6.3 million US next season in the final year of a contract he signed in 2001.
Though it's believed Ferguson will try to move some of his bigger-name players in the event of a loss tonight, Sundin, sounding not unlike the captain who won't abandon his ship, does not think that would be the right course of action.
Blow up the team if it goes badly tonight? Don't do it.
"I don't think so," Sundin said. "I think we're still in a position where we can make it into the playoffs. We have a good enough team to make it into the playoffs. The previous years we have seen Calgary and some other teams just make it in and end up making it to the Stanley Cup finals. That is how fine the line is. There is no reason why we can't make it into the playoffs."
No current Leaf has been with the club longer than Sundin, who was acquired from the Quebec Nordiques in June 1994. He reached the pinnacle of international hockey just nine days ago when he played a major role in Sweden's capturing of the gold medal at the Olympics in Turin. Of course, there is nothing he wants more than getting a Stanley Cup ring while captain of the Leafs.
And he said with a straight face it was not depressing to return to the Leafs' fragile situation after such a high.
"I am very happy to come home," the 35-year-old said. "I am very proud to represent the Toronto Maple Leafs. We have a great group of guys here. We have had our struggles this year but we are going to do everything we can to make it into the playoffs and I am very proud to be part of this group."

Hi All
Apr 09, 2012 - 8:12 pm
I'm very sorry you have a reason to be here, but it's good that you are finding this site helpful already. I hope you find comfort in knowing that most of the people here have come through this treatment with few residual issues that can not be tolerated. As for bowel control issues, I dealt with that during treatment and for a little while afterwards. I think the old adage "Never trust a fart" applies here. It was hard to tell what was gas and what was more for awhile. However, I am now over 3 1/2 years past treatment and it rarely happens anymore. I don't think you'll deal with this as a permanent side effect, but be prepared during treatment to have possible control loss at times. One thing I hope you are receiving is radiation delivered by IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy). This type of therapy targets the tumor without compromising the surrounding tissue, which can reduce the chance of weakened muscles and permanent damage. One other important thing to remember during treatment is to stay well-hydrated. If you have diarrhea (as is quite common), you will lose copious amounts of fluids, so it's critical to replace them. I always tried to drink 8 oz. of water every time I had used the bathroom so I would not get dehydrated. Please let us know how Monday goes for you and if you have any more questions, please ask! I wish you all the best.
Apr 10, 2012 - 1:25 am
Welcome, and I wish you well with your journey. I want to second what Martha said about staying hydrated, it will help in many different ways and such an easy thing to do. I can not offer much advice on the bowel issues, before my treatment began I had colostomy surgery and a year later it looks as though it will be permanent. Even with that I did have problems during and shortly after treatment, but within a couple months back to normal and I expect you will be also. The anal area will get extremely sore tho from the radiation and many people come up with different methods of rinsing to sooth and clean their bottom. My husband installed a hand held shower hose attatchment so I could easily rinse my lower half in the shower and it was a huge help. Another idea is a small squirt bottle that you can fill with water to just rinse when sitting on the toilet. There will be lots of great advice as you progress, and don't feel that any question is not worth asking. I will add you to my prayer list for smooth treatment and quick recovery.
Apr 10, 2012 - 1:26 am
As you've found out, this website contains a wealth of information from ones who have gone through this. There was concern that the radiation would damage my sphincter muscle because the mass was tangled in it. I'm happy to report that this didn't happen! I did have some bowel issues during treatment - urgency and diarrhea. This continued for awhile after treatment. I'm 10 months post treatment and so far so good.
Apr 10, 2012 - 5:35 pm
Thanks to all of you who replied with helpful and encouraging information. Breezed thru PICC line insertion and chemo teaching only to be thrown a curve ball today. Seems a enlarged lymph node in chest area appeared in the CAT scan. Per the oncologist this is not a normal progression of anal cancer so they are somewhat perplexed. A PET scan is next on the agenda with hopefully good results, if not possible biopsy next. I'm learning real fast "don't get too comfortable" with the situation. I think tonite might be a good one for a Zanax!!!
Apr 10, 2012 - 8:14 pm
Please let us know when your PET is scheduled. I'm sorry there is another concern in your case, but it sounds like your docs are jumping right on it. I hope the scan shows that this is nothing sinister. Please keep us posted and I wish you the best results with this.
Apr 22, 2012 - 9:48 pm
Well finally after all the diversions treatment starts tomorrow. PET showed spots in the chest hot but the issue was resolved with a bronchoscopy/biopsy showing I have a slight case of scarcoidosis. Which needs no treatmentTthank God !!
Apr 23, 2012 - 1:04 am
I was able to go about 3 weeks without bad side effects. Some people get mouth blisters from the chemo (I think it is the 5 FU that causes some people to have the blisters), but I just had thrush and the Black Magic mouthwash cleared that up. I did really well with the first round of chemo. They pushed steroids and anti nausea meds first and I felt a little queasy that week, but the anti nausea meds nipped it in the bud. Most of my bad side effects were from the radiation burns. While they can be bad, the skin does heal fairly quickly post tx. Besides the hydration issue already mentioned, also try to go into rad tx with a full bladder. That will help lift the bladder out of the radiation field. Also be sure to tell your drs or NP of any and all side effects. I had never really had to take pain meds before so I didn't realize they can cause constipation, but by the time I needed them I was down to drinking one milkshake a day. (I had plenty to lose thankfully. I joked about how bad did you look when you look better AFTER chemo and radiaiton! LOL) Good luck and remember the motto here; weeks for years!
Apr 23, 2012 - 6:41 am
Of course side effects are different for everyone, but usually it seems that they start 2-3 weeks into treatment. It seems the most common side effects are mouth sores, fatigue and diarrhea. Also, if you are receiving radiation, you can get burned, but that usually doesn't get really bad until the last week of treatment or the week after. I worked the first week of treatment, carrying my chemo bad around. But by week 3 I was at home. You have to rest, drink lots of fluids and let your doctor know if you are having problems with diarrhea. My doctors gave me Lomotil for the diarrhea, which I alternated with Imodium if my diarrhea was really bad. They also gave me a special cream to help my skin and had me take 4 Sitz baths a day, which just amounted to sitting in a tub of lukewarm water for 10 minutes a time. The mouth sores can be yucky, but they don't last forever, just a week or so in my case.
Apr 23, 2012 - 8:11 am
Hi Scott,
I finished my treatment 4/4/12 and am doing very well. There were some rough days towards weeks 4 & 5 and for about 10 days after my last treatment due to the burns. I however had very little side effects from the chemo , only a tender mouth (no sores) in week 2 that only lasted a few days.
I was like you the period before treatment started drove me nuts with the waiting. Once I started I was good because I finally felt I was doing something to fight back and like you I just wanted it over.
Remember everyone is different and not everyone has the same problems or degree of problems. I hope that you have minimal side effects. It is imperative to stay hydrated and to keep up your nutrition as best you can. Avoid caffeine as it can assist in dehydration.
As for the radiation I used aquaphor cream initially and put it basically over groin, buttocks and thighs. When the burns showed up and I had open areas I started using silvadene on them, awesome stuff and I think it really helped speed healing of those areas.
I used nonscented, no alcohol baby wipes instead of toilet paper. Do not wipe but instead pat. Sitz baths can help too.
Scott, my advice take it one day at a time. Before you know it it will be over. You can do this! Keep us posted on your progress.
Will keep you in my prayers,
Apr 23, 2012 - 8:30 pm
I hope your first day of treatment went well. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and wish you all the best!
Apr 23, 2012 - 6:15 pm
Hi Scott,
I was afraid of this too but didn't experience these symptoms of loss of control except when I am really throwing caution to the wind diet-wise. I like corn and spicy foods neither of which agreed with me before and certainly don't agree with me now. The consequences are greater now than before but still manageable. I thank God that everything works every day. It seems like a miracle what I took for granted before. Keep eating the ice cream. I actually eat Hagen Daz lowfat frozen Yogurt every night now but ate real ice cream protein shakes during treatments. I lost about 20 pounds and have kept the weight off so far, finding this to be the best part. Keep us posted as to how you are doing. It's been almost a year since my diagnosis. When I was at the point you are at now I was worried time might stand still but it didn't and I feel better than I had in a long time now so keep hanging in!
Apr 25, 2012 - 11:37 am
I have had maybe three bowel leakage issues in the weeks immediately following treatment, but they were all very minor, minimal leakage. Then it all went away. My doctor told me before treatment started to focus on daily kegel exercises and then she would remind me at each weekly appointment during treatment to do them daily. Thanks to her I have the strongest sphincter muscle in town. :)
I found this link for men from Livestrong. Hope this helps.

On behalf of the Vista City Council, I am writing in response to the North County Times editorial on "Embracing success" in the craft brew industry (Sept. 6). We welcome and fully support this industry and believe the breweries provide for diversity and tourism attraction in the city. We recognize the importance these establishments bring, not only to Vista, but to the North County area and its residents.
Vista has been very successful in its strategic approach to fostering the growth of the craft brew business within the city. For the past several years, we have been working collaboratively with this emerging industry to understand their unique needs and to assist them in making Vista a craft brewing destination.
During our Aug. 28 City Council meeting, the council and I briefly discussed the industry's future growth. At that time, we mentioned several ideas on having the market decide this growth; however, we did not make any decisions, nor did we take any action. I believe this type of dialogue is instrumental in providing a well-thought-out and strategic plan for Vista's future growth.
As mentioned earlier, the city applauds the craft brew industry and encourages them to grow and thrive in our community. We are proud of the growing distinction that Vista is becoming the microbrewery capital of North County.

A flight from San Francisco International Airport was evacuated and delayed six hours after a flight attendant noticed a suspicious odor emanating from a carry-on bag that contained Chinese herbs, authorities said.
United Flight 972 was cleared for takeoff from SFO to Chicago O'Hare International Airport at 4:10 p.m., hours after authorities completed a second security check of the flight's 181 passengers, officials said.
The Boeing 757, with seven crew members, was scheduled to depart at 10:10 a.m.
But while it was taxiing to the runway, a flight attendant noticed a "pungent chemical odor" coming from a bag on board, the airport said.
The elderly couple who owned the bag did not speak English fluently, and after receiving the bag, the pilot notified local authorities and parked the plane at a remote location at the airfield.
The passengers deplaned and were taken by bus back to the airport, where they were rescreened by Transportation Security Administration agents.
Meanwhile, TSA dogs searched the plane with the help of hazardous materials and explosives teams from the San Francisco Fire Department.
The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office also questioned the elderly couple, who had flown from overseas, and a third person.
The crews did not find anything suspicious on the plane or on the passengers, and officials determined the odor came from Chinese herbs.
The TSA released the plane back to United at 2 p.m. Police do not expect to file charges against anyone.

I bought my Bush DVD2023 DVD player 2nd hand for £6, got a multi region code which im sure if it was bought brandnew would invalidate the warranty but it worked like a treat...
1. Press 'eject' to open tray.
2. Press '2,1,2,8.
3.If a pull down screen opens move down to 'Global' ( i didnt need to do this.
4. Finally press 'eject' and shut the tray.
My DVD is now multiregion and plays perfectly with no change to play options.......A good cheap DVD player. Easy use, simplistic multi region hack.

This watch is an AMAZING buy!! Not only is it just �12, it was free delivery! You didnt need to qualify for free delivery, it was just a great perk! It came the morning after I ordered it, so I could wear it right at the beginning of the day! Im a student so its handy to have a watch for lectures and such, and my last watch broke and I felt completely lost without it! So the fact this came the next morning was a God send! Not only is it good value and comes the next day, it looks absolutely stunning! I also love the wrist band, its a very soft leather. Ive shown this watch to all my friends and when I tell them it was only �12 they cannot believe it! I definitely recommend this watch! It seems criminal for only �12, plus you get a 2 year guarantee with it!
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
The watch is simply great. Fits perfectly around my wrist. The face of the watch is very proportionate to the straps. The black and the gold really compliment each other nicely and any gold jewellery i wear. Love watches that have the individual second interval markers, which this one has. Perfect for timing myself in my upcoming exams too. Really cannot fault this watch at all, especially at �11.99. My mother saw it and also said shell purchase one this week.

The watch is small but the face and time are easily read. It looks very nice and meets the requirement for a small, unobtrusive watch that my daughter could use at work to keep track of time. It was also cheap which meant that if it was damaged it could be replaced without breaking the bank.
I have purchased Limit watches before and they have been reliable and have proved good value for money.

Very good quality watch, especially for the price. No apparent problems and quick service. Only issue is it having a smaller face/thinner strap than the photograph on the website suggests, but still a tasteful, classic and well-constructed design.

It is a lot smaller than it looks in the picture!!!
HOWEVER, it is really very elegant and I actually prefer the size it is. Although I am unsure how long the leather will last, but for �12 who cares?
I am now very pleased that the watch I initially wanted was out of stock!

Im a lifeguard and when I bought it, it said it was slightly waterproof. Now Ive made several rescues with this item on and its still going! I chipped the face a little but thats not stopped it even being emerged several times in water. I LOVE My watch and will be purchasing another when this one dies.
I think, however I received the wrong colour but I cant complain with the service I received.
Rating: Average (3 / 5)
It is cute, however the gold colour is much darker in reality. Straps are quite flimsy and look smaller in reality. Other than that, good.

I love this watch.
delivery was super fast, it arrived less than 24hours after ordering.
Quality of the watch is great.The strap might not be very long lasting if you plan to wear everyday. A bit of cotton fraid quite quickly on mine but was easy to trim off.
Exactly what I expect from a �12.99 watch though. Looks great and will last ages give or take a new strap eventually.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
I am really pleased with the watch. It is exactly what I wanted. The face is just a nice size and the gold tone with the back face sets it off. The watch is a nice accessory for a night out when dressed up or even for work. I like the thin strap also.
