This has been an issue for the 5+ years I have been a member of this site. It's been going on long before that and I am not the only person who finds this to be an issue worth discussing. While there are not very many people who speak out publicly (I have colon cancer and usually post there - or here) when I do make a comment about why are there quotes from the Bible in the colon cancer forum and I get "beaten up" by the Christians, I get many emails from people who thank me for speaking up. Many Christians even thank me. They also feel that it is inappropriate to post scripture in the section that is dealing with specific cancer types.
The purpose of the forums, as I understand the Terms & Conditions, is to help others by talking about treatment and side effects and how to deal with them. Also by giving first hand experiences of what one might expect while having colon surgery or whatever the case may be. It was not created to be a soapbox or pulpit for political or religious views. We all may have cancer (or be a caregiver) but we all are not Christians, or Jews, or Hindus, or Muslims, or Democrats, or Republicans, and the list can go on...
Possibly the reason that people are "so touchy about God" is that:
I can't help but think that if on the colon cancer forum, quotes from the Koran were posted on a regular basis that people who post there would be OK with that. I think we'd see more flags than there are at the United Nations. I do not mean to single Muslims out but there is a lot of backlash against them for 9/11 which they, as a religious group, had nothing at all to do with it. It's akin to blaming all Catholics for child molestation because of the actions of some priests, or all Christians to blame for the actions of Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma bombing.
If Muslims, Christian, Jews, or whatever faith wishes to post in the religion forum and follow the T&C, then we all have a forum to post things that may help us get through the cancer but are not offensive to others. This is a place that many people use and guidelines need to be followed. It really is that simple. If this were a Christian Cancer Site then I'd suspect there would be different guidelines and scripture would be welcome everywhere.
While there is the argument "if you don't like it don't read it" there is also one that says "if you post it where it belongs it's not an issue anymore". Of course there is the well wishes that people often give like "I'm praying for you" or "Please pray for me". I do not find that offensive at all nor do I think many others do. It's a common saying that is received many ways. Sort of like say "Hi, how are you?".
While many of my posts are not publicly received well, I feel this is an issue that needs to be looked at once again. This has little to do with God and more to do with Religion(s). There are hundreds of faiths. If we lived in a society where we all thought alike it wouldn't matter, but we don't.
Just wondering why people who violate the T&C of the site and get booted off still continue to reincarnate themselves and start it all over again.
Dec 13, 2010 - 11:58 am
I remember when all that was going on but didn't know you were caught up in it! So sorry!
Dec 14, 2010 - 8:06 am
I'm sorry to hear that you were attacked when you pointed out that it was a violation of the T&C. That has also happened to me on many occasions.
I hope that you stay Mariam.
There is a saying "One person's religion is another person's myth".
Dec 15, 2010 - 9:53 am
I remember that. I am Christian, but I was bothered by the scripture posting. I thought, "if I want to read scripture I will read my Bible. I don't need to come on here to read scripture that this lovely lady has written." I ignored it, but I knew someone would report it.
From what I understand, she was told not to do it anymore. She CHOSE to leave since she couldn't post scripture. I had no idea you were receiving messages. Sounds immature on their part.
Dec 12, 2010 - 12:37 pm

Just a lack of words on my part that I said complain, I should have said I see where you are coming from.
Looks like a lot have posted on this tread with many different opinions, I just hope we can all find common ground and remember we are all here to help each other, whether that is by praying for them or just keeping them in our thought and wishing them good health. I think better then using scripture is showing someone who is in control of your life, and that is by showing them that you care.

How did you make your font so big here? lol. Sure could have used that function a few times in the past. lol. Just wondering.
Oct 19, 2016 - 9:00 pm
i recently (2 months ago) had surgery for cancer. Just like Bluerose said my beliefs kept me going through the hard times. Users here should not post bible verses just to do it but, for many of us without God I would not know what to do. Please, show some compassion and tolerance for those of us who believe
For everyones information i was an atheist for most of my life.

"But to answer a question with "I cannot help you, but will 'Pray' for you" IMO is no help at all and really had no place in the Cancer Forum."
Just in general, the site has made a big switch from being a very helpful CANCER site to more of a casual "Hey, what's up and what sign are you" type site. It's changed for the worse IMO over the past 1-2 years.
Dec 14, 2010 - 10:33 am
Yes it's about cancer but support too. I think reaching out to say 'what's up' is part of support. We make friends and want to cheer them up also. So are you saying all these more personal notes should be on PM's? I post a lot that is not about cancer so I am interested in what is right/wrong. Is a laugh helping to lift someones spirits not allowed? I've often wondered about this but to me it's not wrong. I actually think it improved the site. So I guess I look at it differently. We can't agree on everything!
Actually I try to stick to the point when someone asks for specific help but I don't grudge someone else who posts support of any kind. It might be important to them to get a lot of answering posts. If they only get one or two they might see it as no one is interested in them. I've actually read a post from another stating they felt neglected because they didn't get many responses. So I disagree again. :>)
Altho I have seen one poster who started a thread and complained when the responses didn't stick to the point. I guess it depends on the person.

I can understand what you are saying. Since for the most part we don't really know the other person sometimes it gets tricky posting for what we say could be misunderstood also. I really believe that most people have good intentions tho.
Dec 14, 2010 - 2:08 pm
I agree with you Marcia (nice holiday pic, by the way :)), and suspect that nearly everyone else here does too. Support goes beyond cancer information, cancer experiences, facts and figures, links to trial sites, opionions about this hospital or that doctor, arguments about statistics.
Support is also about cheering people on, rejoicing with them in their good news and commiserating with them in their bad, letting them know that we care and that we are there. Encouraging people when they are down or in the midst of treatment that seems unbearable, and doing the happy dance with them when they finish treatment.
I think from reading the posts and responses of late, most of us would agree that having someone suggest they will 'pray for you' is not out of bounds, even in the so-called cancer forums (they are all cancer forums to me, including this one, after a fashion). To reiterate what has been said before, the real problem, the most significant one, is when folks opine to others that god will heal them, that faith will cure them. That can be dangerous business, not dissimilar to recommending a treatment plan, something else prohibited on this site but sometimes ignored.
Some of my best friends on this site are fervent christians and are aware of my own state of unknowingness. Somehow, we manage to have intelligent conversations (not in the boards) about the nature of faith without cursing at each other, without damning one or the other to hell, without blaming faithlessness for disease or lack of cure.
But I ramble. I concur, Marcia, even the so-called cancer forums are about more than cancer, are especially about more than cancer. It is as important to learn from others that they are living normal lives of a sort, that life goes on, that there are happy moments, funny times, that people are coping and even exceeding the boundaries of their former lives, than it is to exchange the latest cancer news.
I once found it egregious and then wondrous that people in the Chat Room were having fun. The first time I entered that room, I was so offended that they were not taking cancer seriously, that I left immediately. It took some time to realize that what people were seeking there beyond the sense of immediacy that chat brings, was the ability to talk to other people WITHOUT the spector of cancer hanging over the conversation: we've got it, we know it, so let's talk about my kids. "What's for dinner?" "Is your dog still eating the rug?" That sort of seemingly trivial thing that normalizes things.
It is an important part of personal repair.
Take care, my friend,
Dec 02, 2012 - 3:35 pm
you have such a balanced and wonderful way of speaking RE. I hope to read more posts from you. I dont know you, but to me you are a very wise woman.
Dec 17, 2010 - 11:25 am
Personaly I am part of the Wicca Religion
And there are a few others of my faith on this board that i know of.
Most of the time we just sit back quietly and let people pray to there own beliefs.
I agree i do not like to see HEAVLY religious posts but I can always skip that section.
In my religion we do not normaly openly post scripture or the like.
I dont mind when someone prays for me to whatever god/godess/or group of, I just dont want to see something like John 84:82 with it quoated.
Not trying to single anyone out or such but in my life it seems most Christains seem to believe that everyone else is also of there religion so the quote is helpfull.
personaly one of my friends with Lupus is a ministers wife and knows we are Wicca. She prays for us and we pray for her and we have lots of discussions.
alot of us just dont want to get hate mail so we dont speek up when we know we are in a heavy christian area.
Dec 17, 2010 - 2:14 pm
Truthfully I wouldn't know the difference between a Presbyterian and a Martian as far as personal beliefs are concerned and that doesn't bother me. Life is about diversity but one thing we all have in common on this site is cancer. It's hard to hold back on here no matter what beliefs one holds if in the past they feel that that has helped them, then they simply want to share what helps so others can benefit. That's a good thing.
I agree though that when it gets too specifically more about recruiting into one's own beliefs then this isn't the place for it. I have shared spiritual moments in my life as it's worth it to hope it helps others but I don't preach any of it, just what worked for me.
Welcome to the site Nasher and I think if we all follow CSN rules and stick mainly to the topic, with off moments for the sake of variety within reason, we will all have continued fabulous connections on this site.
All the best.

but I think I Martian was a follower of Martian Luther who broke away from the Church a long time ago...
I love when we have dialog about beliefs. It can be very informative and interesting at times. I've found that when people can not (or will not) entertain the thought that there are other faiths that are just as valid as what they believe that we run into problems. I agree with you BlueRose, when it goes from sharing an experience to "recruiting" that seems to be when the problems start.
Welcome Nasher
Dec 18, 2010 - 2:22 am
Hello Nahser, glad you posted though I am not of your faith I do feel you have every right to be of that faith. I too hope you will join in the discussions here as we all can learn from each other. My best to you!

Welcome to the board.
Feb 13, 2011 - 5:13 pm
I haven't posted for awhile, but check in from time to time. I often tell people I will keep them in my prayers, as well as tell them I'll be sending good thoughts, vibes, etc. their way. Being of Italian descent, I was raised Catholic, but over the years have found that I am much more a spiritual person than a religious person. I think I want to believe, more than I actually absolutely believe, but I haven't given up just yet.
I am open to all viewpoints, and love to learn about different beliefs, and cannot -- refuse to -- believe that if there truly is a God, Higher Power, etc., that there is only one path to him/her, etc. My husband was raised Lutheran, his extended family was Episcopalian and Mormon, and he gave up on organized religion years ago. He is more of a spiritual person also. We have Jewish, Muslim, Prysbeterian, Hindu and Buddhist friends. They are all praying for him in their own ways, according to their own beliefs, and I welcome anything good sent his way, and to our family. I do believe that all these good people, putting their best intentions forward to wish my husband and family well are having a positive effect, and I believe that if there is a God he/she is listening to all of us united in goodness, love, and with tolerance and respect for each other. I have also been practicing yoga and meditation for many, many years, and was first introduced to yoga and meditation by a very progressive Catholic priest.
I recently returned to mass, and was put off by a couple of "fanatics" that I personally feel do more to turn people off than to inspire them. I'm sure their intention was to "help" me, but they made me uncomfortable and I haven't returned yet. It reminds me of Ghandi's quote "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." I don't want to offend anyone, but this quote often resonates with me.
Peace to you all.
Feb 13, 2011 - 6:01 pm
to that quote of Ghandi's. I so agree.
Feb 14, 2011 - 12:29 pm
One of my favorite Gandhi quotations! =)
Feb 14, 2011 - 1:42 pm
and here here again!
I love that quote as well as - Don't judge a religion by its people!

Everytime I read a post on subjects surrounding spirituality or religion the same thought comes into my mind each and every time. I wish all could experience a healing as I did years ago. With that unexpected healing there came this unbelievable sense of KNOWING, a KNOWING like I had never experienced before with anything else. That kind of KNOWING can only have one source and you realize that while it is happening to you - trust me.
During the healing that I had I 'heard things' that weren't really audible but they were in my head - sort of like what you would think it's like when people say they could sense someone else's thoughts. The 'thoughts' I heard were so powerful that they were not a question but a given and I just KNEW that.
There aren't enough words to try to describe all that I experienced during this healing I had but suffice is to say that if everyone could experience what I did that would be the end of questioning the existance of a God. I was spiritual before this happened, in a very passive way, and certainly did not have the idea of a healing in my mind whatsoever, was just praying my brains out that I wouldn't be taken by the cancer. Guess my prayers got through. It was so shocking when I first felt that line of heat enter me but I was never afraid, why would that be? So man questions I had were all put to rest in only a few brief quiet moments.
I wish this for all on this board.

Faith can move a mountain
Jul 04, 2011 - 8:44 am
Sure can.
Jul 04, 2011 - 3:56 pm
Hi Bluerose! Hope you are doing well. Did you ever move out of the place you were living at? Or did the "property managers" concede that they were being cruel?
I pray you are doing well. I have been moving forward in my journey, with "eyes wide open"! So many realizations and "aha" moments.
We are in a drought and my roses only bloomed once. Hoping fall will allow them to bloom at least one more time!
Take care, dear one.
Jul 05, 2011 - 6:56 am
I was wondering where you had gone to, glad to see you posting.
YES I MOVED. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Actually I got the apt I have been looking for for many years, right on the river. It is in the city but is right across the street from our big river here and each morning I wake up to the first birdy singing and then many more join in for a morning symphony. It's like waking up at a big lake everyday. lol. It's so peaceful. There is a fairly busy road infront of the river between me and the river but it's not super busy and somehow with the view of the river and rapids that I have I can't really hear the traffic and after about 8pm the traffic dies right down to almost nothing so that's good. I have a balcony and have furnished it so spending time out there, just like a backyard which is great in an apt.
I moved in mid May and I didn't realize just how much stress that last place I lived in was and the management in this new place is HUMAN. Can you imagin that? lol. Actually the people in this complex are more like a friendly community rather than an apt building. In the old building you hardly got a 'hello' in the hall but here people stop you and remember about something you had said the time before and asked about my sick cat's health and it's just lovely. It is kind of pricey though so hopefully I can stay here for the long haul, it's really wonderful. Best decision I made in a long time. Thanks for asking.
We are in the middle of a heatwave too, it gets very humid here but hopefully that will die down in a couple of weeks, I hope. I have an AC unit in my bedroom and it does a good job of making things tolerable.
Healh wise I am about the same but had a bit of a scare when I was having my breast ultrasound about a month ago. Apparently they found a lymph node in my right breast and seems that lymph nodes aren't supposed to be in your boobs. lol. However they have seen them there in other women now and again, just isn't a normal thing. So I want a needle biopsy done to make sure all is okay and they said considering my history probably not a bad plan seeing I can't have mammograms after all my treatments - nerve damage. So next week is the biopsy, ick. I postponed all of my doctor's appointments for the move as a gift to myself and wow what a vacation to not have any doctors for a whole month. Of course that lovely month is over and so I am now up to my neck in specialists, ick again. lol. Oh well, one at a time. Oh by the way all the docs said there are no markers in the lymph node to say this thing is malignant so whew, let's hope it stays that way.
My cat, the Vet thinks, has a brain tumor though, sigh. She all of a sudden just couldn't walk and her eyes were going spinny and I think she had a stroke. Sigh. Then a week later she had another one but is rallying so I guess she is a survivor too. lol. She walks very wonky and her head is tilted with after effects of the stroke perhaps, I have been playing nurse to her. The Vet said this can go on for a long time, like our tumors can. Sigh. I won't put her down though unless she is in pain or very depressed with her condition, she will let me know when it's time.
Anywho I hope you are doing well. Good to see you back. Sorry about your roses, stupid climate changes eh? lol
Take good care kid and talk to you soon.
Aug 26, 2011 - 4:46 pm
Can faith cut my grass?
Jun 23, 2011 - 11:10 pm
That experience must have given you a great sense of peace.
Jul 05, 2011 - 7:01 am
Peace? Yes but more importantly confirmation that yes there is indeed something much bigger than we are helping us to stear our course in life and always there for us. I mean I believed without the healing but that was a heck of a validation. lol. I find experiences like this that come right out of the blue to people who aren't looking for them to happen (maybe talking themselves into 'experiences' like this) are the most significant. I am not a religious person at all, spiritutual though.
Also it gave me the peace that as the voice said 'it wouldn't be back'. That's not to say I can't get a cancer again, PRAY THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN EVERYDAY, but for that cancer that time that one was indeed gone so I didn't have that constant 'what if it comes back?' never did. That's a gift all by itself.
Like i said before, I just wish everyone could have experienced what I did.
Take care Phil
Aug 26, 2011 - 10:12 am
I have been a member for over a year, but I am definitely not a regular to ANY online forum, and I am sure that I have been guilty of breaking "the rules" in the past. Maybe not about a religious issue, but probably at least bad form, like completely straying from topic. (Like now, for instance.) I usually get on these forums either when I cant sleep, or when I am in "panic" mode, like right before a PET scan or a biopsy, because I think only others who have experienced it can really offer some meaningful comfort. Anyway, I have stayed up all night reading various boards and I must say, there are certainly ALOT of articulate people who post here! Whether I agree with what yall say, or disagree, I sure do admire your command of the English language, Phil and Chris, Hondo, Bluerose, and others whose names I cant remember.
I am Christian, and I live in an area where almost everyone is conservative, Protestant Christian. I remember being at church when I was first diagnosed, and one of the well-respected ladies of the church asked me what did I think God was punishing me for. I was very taken aback! It had not even occured to me that might be being PUNISHED. I see my cancer as Gods way of saving me or someone I love from an even worse fate. Maybe if I hadnt taken chemo for breast cancer, which I am surviving, I would now have a cancer with a worse prognosis or worse survival scenario. Maybe my bout with cancer will be the factor that helps my child decide to become a doctor or scientist, and thereby save MANY people from a fate worse than cancer. Anyway, I shared this to say, it takes all sorts of people to make the world go around, and even those of my own faith, in my own CHURCH, have views that vary significantly from me. I sure dont wish eternal damnation on anyone because we disagree. My idea of being Christian is to take as many people to Heaven with me as I can, even the ones I dont really like,lol! If I "preach" to anyone, its because I love almost everyone I meet, and I want them to go to Heaven some day.
I have never been offended by anything religious I have read on this or any other site, but I guess, since I am in the "majority," that just makes sense. I love reading about other religions and was glad to see this forum, and I am very impressed. Since I had chemo and lost every shred of hormones, I lost about 15 IQ points, so I am a little jealous. I sure enjoy reading the posts here. Yall are gonna have to do a whole lot worse than insult my religion every so often to get rid of me.
Aug 26, 2011 - 4:44 pm
Welcome aboard, sobles!
A very nice read that introduces you in a wonderful way.
Take care,
Aug 28, 2011 - 9:24 pm
It is sad to say that some people believe that wend someone gets sick it is God who is doing it. That mythology or theology goes all the back to the dark ages, we see it also in the insurance companies calling an act of nature an act of God. I can never figure out why people blame God for everything. My cancer was to be my cancer good or bad it was to be part of my life and I use it to help others who are going through cancer. Maybe in heaven someday I will know the real reason for me having cancer, but for now I can accept doing what I can to help others as my challenge in this life. And should I die and there is no life after this one, then I have lived a very good life here and I am none the worse for it.
Wishing you well
Sep 15, 2011 - 8:41 pm
I think that God gets the credit for things as often as God gets the blame. It seems to me that when something happens that they can not explain, the "it was God's will" is the answer that covers it all.
Sep 17, 2011 - 9:03 pm
That is because it is always easier to blame someone else. I guess you are right just saying "it was God's will" is the answer that covers it all", in mans view of things.
Take care my friend
Sep 20, 2011 - 11:40 am
There is so much that we don't know or understand and it is convenient to believe there is something so much greater and bigger than we are that is responsible for what is going on.
I used to think n'shallah(God willing) was just a cop out, a way for people to not be held responsible for breaking their promises and engagements and some people do use it that way - 'N'shallah, I will show up at your house at 7pm', then never to arrive. However as I deepen in spiritual growth I have come to realise that even when we have honourable intention sometimes things do happen that are way out of our control and understanding, n'shallah for me has become a way to acknowledge that.
Dec 02, 2012 - 3:40 pm
your posts were both well said and uplifting..thank you!

In your own words, "The purpose of the forums, as I understand the Terms & Conditions, is to help others by talking about treatment and side effects and how to deal with them".
People post religous comments and scriptures because this is how 'they' "deal with" their conditions, treatments and side effects. Many feel that their faith is the biggest part of how they "deal with" all of this.
If they truly believe it helps them, just like any other helpful information, they feel compelled to share that with others.

It's time for Friday Night Bites and this week we're turning things around! We're doing dessert for dinner and that really kicks off the weekend with some smiles – enjoy!
A Mascali family tradition is a special Friday Night Bite: Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches. My father-in-law, "Poppy", was famous for his homemade waffles. Oftentimes, on a Friday night, Poppy would make the waffles; my mother-in-law would make the ice cream sandwiches and serve them up a little Friday Night Bite. So in honor of "Poppy", make some Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches to share this Friday Night with family and friends. Here's my recipe:
- 8 waffles (use your favorite recipe)
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 gallon ice cream
- parchment/wax paper
- Line a loaf pan with parchment/wax paper. Soften ice cream and spread into lined loaf pan (tip: this is a great opportunity to use up the half used cartons of ice cream taking up space in your freezer. Also, if you only have vanilla ice cream and want to do some "mix-ins", e.g., crushed up cookies, candy, cookie dough, sprinkles, etc, this is the time to do it). Cover and freeze at least 6 hours. This is your "ice cream loaf".
- Prepare waffles (we added chocolate chips) and allow to cool thoroughly. Remove ice cream from pan and slice ½" – 1" slices (I kept them on the thinner side to avoid "too tall" mouthfuls for the kids and a brain freeze).
- Sandwich 2 slices of ice cream side-by-side on top of one waffle and top with other. Wrap in parchment/wax paper and stack in airtight container, place in freezer. Repeat with remaining waffles. Return any remaining ice cream loaf to pan, cover well and freeze for future use. When ready to serve, simply Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches out of the freezer.

Letter: Bishop should reconsider several school closings
Bishop should reconsider several school closings
This past Ash Wednesday, I had a 14-hour workday as I was filling in for a friend. I tried to figure out how I would manage to attend Mass and decided if I was a little late and sadly left a little early I could squish Mass in at 9 a.m. I found a church located between jobs, St. Vincent De Paul in Elma.
The church was filled with schoolchildren, well over 100. I knew sadly this was one of the schools scheduled to be closed. As I sat through Mass I watched the children so involved in the liturgy singing and performing gestures to the responses. However, my thoughts couldn't help but turn to where the future lay for these and all the children being affected by the school closings.
I wish that the bishop was there to witness how much these children truly embraced their faith. Maybe he would consider having a change of heart and re-evaluate his position that I'm sure has been very well researched. But sometimes we need to look into our hearts.

" Brand: Olay / Type: Moisture Lotion / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / What it does: Hydrates, Protects / Product line: Olay Regenerist "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I'm 29 years old, have 2 kids with another on the way & an active job where I'm outdoors in all weathers. I have pale sun sensitive skin (I prefer to call it 'English rose'!) I would class my skin as combination. I'm not a regular 'cleanse, tone and moisturise' kind of girl - I don't have the time! More a supermarket own brand face wash and face wipes then slap on some moisturiser and off I go.
I've not found an own brand or cheaper moisturiser that I have got on with.
I've never been a big fan of the regular Olay lotion as I found it very 'ordinary' and actually quite greasy. Following all the hype about Regenerist I decided to give it a go.
I think it is expensive - I begrudgingly paid the full price for my first bottle of this, but now I'd never go back to anything else! The price differs depending on stores. You pay around £20 in most high street shops - however many of the leading beauty stores regularly have it discounted to around £15. But if you want a REAL bargain then head onto ebay and you can pick it up for £10.
Since using it my skin has become softer, more radiant and I have less breakouts and blocked pores. It's a beautiful smelling light non greasy lotion which is dispensed from a pump therefore ensuring you apply just the right amount and it seems to last forever! The sun protection is excellent and it also provides a lovely base for foundation.
My regime of cheaper face cleansing products, but splashing out on the moisturiser has really worked for me. I only have two beauty products I splash out on. This is one of them.
I was never really big on Olay products and I used the regular Olay moisturiser only because friends recommended it and it seemed non greasy encased in that nice pink bottle.
Anyhow, after watching the powerful commercials for the Olay Regenerist rehydrating lotion with uv protection on TV, I was totally taken in and I decided that I will have to give this attractive face lotion a try.
I bought the 75 ml bottle for 11 pounds at Sainsbury. I am sure it can be found cheaper on sales and may be more expensive on regular price. I thought the price wasn't too bad considering the quality of the lotion and the little amount it is supposed to be used in.
I usually tend to use all creams and lotion liberally on face but with this product I soon came to realise that a little goes a long way.
It is packaged nicely in a black-red plastic case that can be opened easily from the top. There are instruction behind the sleek white bottle with the black lid. The lotion is very easily dispensed from the pump out lid.
The directiond to use are very simple. Just pump out a few drops of the lovely liquid onto your fingures and smear on your entire face and neck area after cleansing. It is a very smooth non greasy lotion that spreads easily and is absorbed easily onto the skin. It can last long if used in the correct amount.
Active ingredients in the lotion include 4% Octisalate, 2% Avobenzone, 1.25% Octocrylene and 1% Ensulizole.
Procter and Gamble has produced some of the greatest items in the past and this is another one in the list. I am positive that with regular use of this product the ageing process of my skin will slow down and it will be protected from the harsh UV rays as well.
When it comes to Olay products I admit I'm a bit of a fiend. I like using moisturisers and face products in general and couldn't live without them quite frankly and I really love Olay.
As I've said in previous reviews about moisturisers although I love all the advertising and promises I'm not so naive to believe everything I read and see!
However I do think a good moisturiser is incredibly important. I don't believe that in 24hours I will use something and wake up with perfect skin and my wrinkles will suddenly vamoosh. I do however believe that a good moisturiser can hydrate and smooth skin therefore if your hydrating skin then your going to look a hell of a lot better anyway because dry skin can look tawt and wrinkled even if it isn't really.
My skin at 34 is only just really starting to show the signs of aging though I do get alot of people saying I don't look my age. I recently went to a wedding reception with my bf (he's 42) and people kept asking him if I was his daughter and his own daughter says I look 20! Ok's she's only 9 years old but any compliment given is worth taking in my view lol.
I personally spend alot of time looking after my skin. I use face masks, I cleanse and tone religiously and always use good, branded products. However like I say you can't stop the hands of time and along with all of what I think of as teenage problems which seem to be ope pores, spots, white and blackheads, an oily t-zone and patches of dry skin and scars (all caused from spots), I also have got deep frown lines and under my eyes laughter lines. All not to bad but visible to me and I'd like all the problems to simply naff off to be honest with you!
I came across this product is Sainsbury's when having a nosey which I do quite often when I have a few quid in my pocket and nothing in mind to buy (I admit I'm a shopoholic lol). Now I paid £5.00 for the full size of this with another full size product and a few samples of Olay things and a couple of fabulous face masks back in August. I don't know why but the gift sets were really highly reduced and the funny thing about it is this was on sale in the packaging you can see on the top of this review (in a black and red clearish 'pocket') right above the set I purchased for £23.98 (currently this is on offer in Boots for £18.98) but do shop about on line for this before you splash out as you can find this quite alot cheaper if you look about for it!
The Packaging....
As I said it comes (if bought singly) in a black and see through sort of pocket you pull it out of. On the front your clearly told what it is and who it's by and on the back told a bit about the product, ingredients and stuff like that. It can also be bought in a cardboard box (as I've spotted online).
The bottle is tall and not cylinder shaped but sort of squarish which gets bigger towards the top. It's 75ml in size, opaque plastic with a black shiny plastic top and on that is a grey pump action dispenser. On the front the Olay symbol adorns it and in black and gold and under that I'm told it is Olay, Regenerist Rehydrating Lotion With UV Protection. On the back I'm told a bit about the product, directions for use and a warning (about getting it in eyes), contact details for Procter & Gamble are given, the size is stated and finally the recycle symbol can be seen. It's nice enough packaging and doesn't look cheap or nasty.
A Bit About The Product.. According To The Back Of The Bottle...
Light, non-greasy moisture with amino-peptide complex and SPf15 for dramatic skin improvement.
Directions For Use....
To begin using, twist the pump nozzle anti-clockwise. using fingertips smooth evenly onto clean skin over face and neck, use once or twice daily.
My Experience....
Well first off I have to say that this lotion is incredibly easy and fuss free to use. It comes out of the nozzle easily and although I've owned mine for quite a while not once has it blocked or given me a lump of stodgy liquid or anything. It always comes out white, and quite wet but with a bit of body to it and it isn't drippy or a pain to use.
I use it on a freshly cleansed face and I use about 3 drops which easily and evenly covers my whole face and neck. It glides on ever so easily and although it dries to the touch in about a minute it still does hydrate the skin and makes it feel like you've given it a wee drink. It's hard to explain but you can feel the moisture and grease content under the skin rather than sitting on the top.
It's not heavy and none sticky and perfect for using under make up as a make up base and I personally use it for that reason or whenever my skin needs a bit of moisture added. It cures my dry skin (like around spots) instantly and is a great on the spot treatment. Sure if you have very dry skin it's great for every day use but not every day does my skin need a treatment as rich as this.
Although it's rich it is gentle in it's approach. It's suitable to use over spots etc without tingling to hell and it's suitable to put on eyes and also suitable for use on and around the eyes. The smell is delicate and smells slightly of fruit and it all just feels very natural indeed.
Say goodbye to dry skin and a more radiant glow due to it's hydrating capabilities. I wouldn't say it combats the signs of aging as such but I do when it's on my face feel slightly smoother to the touch.
This isn't my favourite product from Olay but it does work out economical after the initial amount you spend on it as you need so little of it, it lasts ages. I'd recommend this for very dry skins that have a tendency to feel tight etc.

My 95 automatic miata will not start. The key is hard to put in and take out but not hard to turn. No accessories work. The headlights come on. The automatic transmission will not come out of park. Car wont jump start and I replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. From the research I have done on the internet it seems it might be the ignition switch? Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for yellow gold july birthstone claddagh engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. July's birthstone is ruby, the boldest of gems with a classic color that plays off every other color in your wardrobe beautifully. Lustrous 14-karat yellow gold, which is 58.5% pure gold, is the most popular yellow gold alloy. It has superior hardness without sacrificing that classic golden glow. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Damon Washington, Gemvara Essentials, Ruzanna Davtian, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Claddagh designs have a heart for love, hands for friendship and a crown for loyalty. Clean yellow gold july birthstone claddagh engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality yellow gold july birthstone claddagh engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

You might be able to get one but you'd be much better off (better odds of approval, better rates, etc) with lower revolving utilization. The installments (mortgage, auto, student) are weighted differently. They'll certainly consider your DTI as well but getting revolving utilization down will have a bigger impact.

I come bearing what could be good news to my fellow COVERGIRL NatureLuxe lovers out there—and perhaps to those who haven't discovered the foundation and Gloss Balm yet. The rumors are true; COVERGIRL is expanding the NatureLuxe line to include a new product which will land in stores in July!
- COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara
This is described as: "A new, mousse mascara that exchanges a select few synthetic ingredients for natural beeswax, carnauba wax and tapioca polymers, which are lighter-feeling alternatives, to give stunning volume while leaving lashes luxuriously light and lifted. Luxurious mousse texture designed to feel smooth and weightless while building stunning volume, all while maintaining a soft and fluttery lash look."
This product will launch with both regular and water-resistant formulas in one shade: Very Black.
Available in July 2011 with a suggested retail price of $8.99 each
And some bonus news…here's a new ShadowBlast product that will be launching around the same time!
- COVERGIRL Intense ShadowBlast Eyecolor (not part of the NatureLuxe family)
This is described as: "A liquid to powder eyeshadow that lasts for hours. Features a built-in primer which contains a long-wear waterproof polymer. Glides on effortlessly as a liquid, but dries to a gorgeous powdery finish with color that stays. Intense ShadowBlast has a felt tip applicator so that you can easily apply it for hours of fade proof, crease-resistant color."
The Pat McGrath-designed shade palette comes in 6 vibrant liquid-to-powder shades: Platinum Pop, Blue Bomb, Extreme Green, Brown Bling, Beige Blaze, and Forever Pink.
Available in July 2011 with a suggested retail price of $7.99 each

DULUTH - The jilted groom whose bride-to-be ran away four days before their wedding still wants to marry fiancee Jennifer Wilbanks, saying, "Haven't we all made mistakes?"

"Just because we haven't walked down the aisle, just because we haven't stood in front of 500 people and said our I Do's, my commitment before God to her was the day I bought that ring and put it on her finger, and I'm not backing down from that," John Mason said Monday in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity. It was Mason's first public statement since he learned on the morning of his scheduled wedding day that Wilbanks had gotten cold feet. At a press conference Monday, Duluth Police Chief Randy Belcher provided a chronology for the events of Wilbanks' disappearance.
He said Wilbanks bought a Greyhound bus ticket to Austin, Texas, a week before running away April 26. That day, she had a taxi pick her up at the local library and take her to the bus terminal in Atlanta.
She never made it to Austin, instead getting off in Dallas and buying a ticket to Las Vegas. She spent some time in Vegas, hanging out at the bus station most the time, before going to Albuquerque, N.M., authorities said.
It was in Albuquerque where she called Mason and police from a pay phone at a 7-11, saying she had been kidnapped. She later said it simply was a case of having jitters ahead of the lavish, 600-guest wedding planned for Saturday.
Mason said he has given the 32-year-old Wilbanks her ring back - she had left it at the house - and said they still planned to marry.
"Some things needs to happen first, and we need to talk about a few things and ... she needs some treatment, for lack of a better word," he said.
Mason and his fiancee's father, Harris Wilbanks, who also appeared on the show, said Jennifer Wilbanks is working on a releasing a written statement.
"She just needs some space and some time," Mason said. "She just wants the whole world to know she's very, very sorry."
But if Mason and the family are ready to forgive the jittery bride, authorities are still peeved.
Authorities said they are looking into the possibility of suing Wilbanks for the estimated $40,000 to $60,000 cost of searching for her. That option would have to be approved by the city council. The groom's father, Claude Mason, is a former mayor of Duluth and a local judge.
"We feel a tad betrayed, and some are very hurt about it," Mayor Shirley Lasseter said.
She added that they want to hear from Wilbanks' family, to see if perhaps there was a good reason for the woman's disappearance. "I would love to hear from the family and know there might have been a problem and know we should work with this lady on some recourse other than legally."
The local prosecutor said Monday he will conduct a thorough investigation, which could take weeks, before deciding whether to charge Wilbanks for falsely claiming she had been kidnapped.
District Attorney Danny Porter said Wilbanks could face a misdemeanor charge of false report of a crime or a felony charge of false statements. The misdemeanor carries a penalty of up to a year in jail; five years in prison is the maximum sentence for the felony.
Carter Brank, an agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said he had spoken with Wilbanks, but that she "didn't come right out an apologize."
"She was somewhat remorseful for what she had done," he said. "She cried a little bit, showed some emotion."
Wilbanks' father said his daughter claims she did not know about all the media attention surrounding her disappearance. He said she did not see a television during her trip and only once read a newspaper, but it made no mention of her.
Porter also confirmed an ongoing rumor, that Wilbanks had been engaged before and broke off the relationship. Porter gave no details about whom she was supposed to marry or when, but said he was reviewing details of one previous engagement. "It may not have a factor in my decision," he said.
Mason appealed to the prosecutor not to bring charges.
"I don't think there's anything legally she did wrong. And if there is, I'm sure she's willing to make restitution," Mason said on a Fox radio show Monday afternoon.

Right thumb sprain sends Raburn to DL
Right thumb sprain sends Raburn to DL
The injury occurred during the team's road trip in Cleveland. However, it first appeared Raburn would be OK, manager Jim Leyland said.
"We thought it was going to be fine," Leyland said. "But it's not."
Despite receiving daily treatment, the injury progressively got worse, resulting in the DL stint.
"He can't grip the bat," head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said. "He first felt it working out. He's been able to kind of work with it a little bit. It's been bothering him off and on, and then it just got gradually sore over the last few days."
The move is retroactive to Aug. 1, meaning Raburn will be eligible to return when the team begins a three-team, nine-game homestand on Aug. 17. Raburn is hitting .172 this season with 12 RBIs. He's started only two games since July 21.
As a result, Danny Worth was recalled from Triple-A Toledo for a team-high fifth time this season. Worth said he got the call late Saturday night, and he was one of the first in the clubhouse early Sunday.
Asked if the constant back and forth gets frustrating, the 26-year-old Worth said, "No. It's just playing. [I'll] take what they give me and keep on trying to improve. Hopefully, I can be up here on a full-time basis in the future some time."
Worth had to quickly settle in, as he started at second base and hit ninth.

I had a horrible evening last nite, as this has never happened to me before, never! I'll tell you what happened and I am open to hearing anything that it could be and what type of doctor I should see, if any. Thanks a lot!
Last nite, my mother and dawson and I went shopping and went to mcdonald's. We both had the #3 which is a quarter pounder w/cheese and a french fry. I also had 1/2 an apple pie. Now, on the way home, I said to my mom "ugggh, the mcd"s is starting to get to me" as it sometimes but not always does. I started feeling pain. I went in and went to the bathroom. Nothing. All of a sudden I started feeling horrible, horrible pain radiating from my uterus all the way around to my a-hole but I could not push hard enough to push it out. The pain was so bad, I actuall had to breathe through them (like I was in labor) and I was practically screaming like I was in labor. After 1/2 hour of this, I was still in severe pain, couldn't walk standing up. Made it to the pot again thinking it was finally coming and again, severe pain. I was hanging onto the window sill on one side of me and the cupboard on the other side of me breathing through this pain and/or contractions. It was horrible. I called my mom and she said to take some mylanta, which I did. Then I finally "poopy" a little. I was a little better then, at least tolerable to take care of my son. I was going to call an ambulance, that's how bad it was. I know it might be irritable bowel syndrom, but why would my uterus (front side) contact so horribly? Any suggestions please !!! Lol what else could it be? Do you think I should go see a doctor? Maybe it was just mcdonald's, I don't know.

Hi I have ibs and it is no fun. Mine is different than yours though. Mine feels like someone is stabbing me with knives in my stomach. It really hurts. Also mine are not always in the same spot, they can be all over my stomach, back, in my chest. The thing I found that helps me with mine is I hold/push on the spot/spots that hurts. I shake, can't breath,feel like I am going to pass out, I just feel like I am going to die. I never feel like I need to poop, I always feel like I need to pee. I go pee all the time and that helps sometimes. One thing to look for is the food you eat. My doctors had me write down everything I ate and when I ate them and when I got my attacks (that is what I call them). One thing I found was greasy foods and a lot of milk products, some pops and juice made them worse. Somethings were worst then others. I now know what I can and can't eat so I dont get another attack. They also put me on some medicine that helps too. I hope this helps.

Yes the game is too short that breaks a lot of thing. The other failure is the level difficulty, too low for players who have finished DAO.
But on another points I enjoyed some points quite more than in DAO:
I admit DAO deep and long dialogs with companions can increase interest in the game if you bother take care and dig this. But it's a game design I don't like at all because the merging with the gemaplay is awful, like a second game you get in parallel. Not have them anymore was a good point for me.
DAO has some dungeons (probably not all) that are bellow the average quality, repetitive graphics, almost only fights in some, puppets companions, exploration that lets a taste of linearity. DAA improved a lot this point, no more graphics repetition, high level of story stuff merged to the action, companions that are much more living in dungeons and area you explored, some area are fun to explore and enough well done to break partially a feeling of linearity, I also enjoyed the well done and intensive use of heights making them much more 3D.
There's a third deep gameplay change with DAA, the intensity of story evolution. In DAO you have much more pauses, also many dungeon are mainly some exploration with series of (fun) fights this letting you breeze and take your time. In DAA there's no pause, many events catch you and don't let you the time, you have a lot of responsibilities and need fulfill them in hurry, even dungeons with a high density of story stuff ends in not letting much pauses.
I enjoyed the density involved in DAA but I clearly prefer a more cool approach like DAO does on this point.
That said, DAA is short enough to damage its more global game design quality.

School Program
In 2009 the grade 4-7 class participated in a sand lance activity in the classroom. After a slide presentation of images of sand lance the students panned for eggs (beads) and participated in a food web game. In 2010 All classes got out for field trips as noted below:
The 4-8 Classes Visit Henderson ParkThe 4-8 class rode their bicycles and hiked Punches Alley to join Miriam and Leanna at Henderson Park. Miriam led a talk about Garry Oak ecosystems and colourfully described the types of flowers you would typically see in the spring. She also spoke about how the First Peoples cultivated camas as a food crop, maintaining the conditions for Garry Oak to thrive. The students participated in stewarding the park by planting trees in the restoration site. They will monitor the trees over time, charting their growth rate.
Preschoolers & K-3 Visit the BeachWide eyed and enthusiastic Mayne Island children ages 6 months to 5 years joined us on the beach for low tide exploration. The children learned about how the tide rises and falls and the creatures that become exposed. The highlight of the morning was the discovery of a sunflower star eating a clam by sticking its stomach between the shells and digesting the contents! (see picture).
The grade K-3 class joined us the next day for another exciting low tide. We explored the beach and talked about adaptations of the exposed creatures, while we scavenged the beach to create a habitat aquarium, and we made time to play some games!
Thanks to all parents, teachers and friends who volunteered to assist the kids on these trips! See our Gallery for more pictures
Leanna Boyer has met with Jessica Willows and Jessica Reveley (school teachers) to plan an extensive outdoor learning program for 2011. Very exciting indeed!
The 4-8 Classes do Ecological Research on Gallagher BayIn May 2010 the grade 4-8 class, along with volunteers, counted the intertidal eelgrass in Gallagher Bay. The afternoon's work involved counting the number of stems in plots (which were randomly located along a 60 m transect) and measuring and calculating the "Leaf Area Index." The purpose was to expose kids to the methodology of a real scientific project in marine ecology/biology. See photos below.
Preschool Program
In 2010, preschoolers joined us on the beach for an exploration into eelgrass and shoreline critters. A mini-report on one of these expeditions appears in the section above, together with a link to more pictures.
Home School Program
Home schoolers have been invited to participate in volunteer training and activities. This past winter a home schooling family joined us on the beach and assisted with a sand lance spawning survey in Gallagher and Bennett Bay.
Summer Program
Last summer youth were invited to paint a mural for our eelgrass display at the Saturday Market. Tina Farmilo, a local educator and community organizer, led the event.
This summer we will offer activities for children and youth at the Saturday Market.

|Minimum Stay
|3 - 4 nights
A short walk and you find yourself sitting lakeside at our local restaurant DISH at Dover Bay Resort, or having a picnic on the grass at Dover City Park, perhaps fishing off the dock at the marina is more your speed. This beautiful 3 bedroom, 3 full bath house is perfect any month of the year. Located walking distance from the marina it is close enough to enjoy the activities and far enough for quite naps on the porch.
The large open floor plan of the house invites lots of visiting and the kitchen is large enough for two cooks to work. Top of the line appliances, granite counters, wood flooring, and custom drapery all add to the beauty and comfort of our wonderful home.
The first floor holds a gourmet kitchen complete with Viking appliances, granite counter tops and a pantry stocked with extras such as basic spices, paper towels and dish soap.
The family room and dining area flow onto the wrap around porch allowing large groups to visit freely. The dining table seats 8 easily and additional bistro seating can be found on various sides of the porch. Additional cedar Adirondack chairs (made locally) with pillows and blankets create a relaxing atmosphere for all allowing for morning coffee, afternoon naps, or just relaxing while viewing the sunset. During the fall and winter we have a large number of cozy blankets to wrap up in while watching the snow fall.
The outdoor gas fireplace is wonderful on chilly summer nights and heavenly in the winter. We have a large gas grill and lots jockeying to be grill master as the back porch is such a peaceful setting in late afternoon.
We have two bedrooms downstairs. The first floor Master Bedroom holds a king bed, oversize antique couch, reading chair, Blu-ray player and tv, and writing desk with high speed internet and printer. This large master bedroom opens onto the porch and has a beautiful slate master bath complete with double shower.
The second bedroom downstairs has a queen bed, walk in closet, reading chair and full bathroom located just outside in the hall, also boasting slate floors and counters.
Upstairs holds the third bedroom. The short hall at the top of the stairs opens into the large bedroom that runs the width of the house. Two queen beds, a double futon, amoire with television and Blue-ray player, two dressers and book shelves, and space for blow up mattresses, make this ideal for teens and children, or an additional suite for couples. There is another full size bathroom with a tub/shower upstairs completed in slate as well.
With the lake just down the street we have kayaks and basic bait casting poles for fishing off the docks or one of the inlets nearby. The avid fisherman will want to bring their own as the area is a fishing paradise. Bring your bike or rent one in town to enjoy the numerous paved paths in the area. We have a bike trailer perfect for toddlers or to load fresh produce from the Sandpoint Farmers Market. The area is also known for fantastic mountain biking.
We offer a lending library with books and movies for all ages. We have a waterproof picnic blanket, beach chairs, plastic containers and coolers for days by the lake. The area draws you outside to enjoy everything Sandpoint has to offer - bike trails, hiking trails, swimming, boating, all types of skiing, or just sitting and looking at the beautiful nature that surrounds us.
Our house was and still is our home. In keeping with the beauty of the area as well as our own ideas you will find organic cotton sheets, wool blankets, eco-friendly cleaning products as well as laundry detergent for your use. You will find many extras too numerous to list to make your visit a memorable one.
We currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada. Being surrounded by the desert landscape has its beauty, though nothing can compare to what we felt when we first started across the long bridge.
Aileen York purchased this house in 2006
Our house was one of the first six built in Dover Bay. We originally purchased it as a vacation home so our children would be able to experience life outside a big city. After spending summers, a few long weekends and the occasional week vacation each year, we realized we loved it so much we wanted to experience the area full time. We spent two years living here while our children went to school in Sandpoint. The experience was more than we hoped and we look forward to sharing a bit of it with you.
There are very few places where you can enjoy year round activities! Summer on the lake. Fall hikes enjoying the beautiful colors. Winter on Schweitzer Mountain or sledding on Syringa. Spring if you're lucky spring skiing, otherwise wild life watching and hiking draw you in.
A beautiful wrap-around porch and all the amenities of Dover Bay Resort added up to loads of fun as well as quiet time for a busy family.
Great home with a great layout for families with kids. A huge upstairs loft with two beds and a futon with TV for kid movie time after a long day at the lake or mountain. Enjoyed that each bedroom had their own bathroom.
The first words out of our mouths as we entered this well appointed cabin tucked in the trees just walking distance from the lake, was "Wow!" Your spacious and comfortable rooms, amazing master shower, wrap around porch with grill, and guest amenities were more than we dreamed of! We loved the location so close to town and the lake- yet secluded and quiet. The kids also had fun showing their grandparents all the biking/ walking trails in the area. Your kitchen was fabulously stocked for us to cook meals in and relaxing on the deck in the evening was a favorite for us all. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home with us! We will surely tell all our friends about it and return!
The Sandpoint area is filled with activities for every interest! Fall brings beauty in the way of color through the mountains, and The Farmers Market runs May through October Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, The Draft Horse and Mule Show, The Eureka Center and Evans Brothers Coffee hosts an Oktoberfest, SARS Ski Swap are all fun family events. December is magical in Sanpoint and my two favorite events are the Waldorf Christmas Fair, normally held the first weekend in December, and the Christmas Home Tour benefiting the Healing Garden at Bonner General Hospital. January hosts the Banff Film Festival, which sells out every year, and February finds the Sandpoint Winter Carnival and Taste of Sandpoint which take you up to Schweitzer and back down to Sandpoint to cover all the fun. Summer brings even more events and some such as The Dog Days at Dover Bay and the Wooden Boat Festival right down the street. August is a jammed pack month with people flooding to Sandpoint for the Festival at Sandpoint, Artists Studio Tour, Bonner County Fair, and Long Bridge Swim to name a few.

Packaging solution drives shipping efficiency, sustainability
Behr implements a customized packaging solution to safely and efficiently deliver HVAC parts.
in the NewsQ4 2017 Rail/Intermodal Roundtable: Improvements apparent; work remains The State of the DC Voice Market A "trucker's market" is likely for 2018, says prominent industry analyst Spot market conditions remain in a better than good place, reports DAT NextGen Supply Chain: Time to pay attention to autonomous vehicles More News
Behr is a global leader and manufacturer of climate control and engine cooling systems. Headquartered in Germany and with offices in Troy, Mich., Behr employs 17,400 people at 36 production locations and 17 R&D centers around the world.
From compact cars to small vans to heavy-duty commercial vehicles, Behr has mastered the range and offers complete thermal management. What Behr hadn't mastered was the most efficient shipping solution for its parts.
The company was looking for a bulk packaging solution for new front and rear HVAC packs for a semi-trailer truck launch for one of its customers, a global leader in truck manufacturing. Behr wanted a more efficient and sustainable solution. Using a proven approach to plastics innovations, the supplier (ORBIS Corp., orbiscorporation.com) analyzed Behr's systems, designed a solution, and executed a reusable packaging program for longer-term cost savings and sustainability efficiencies.
The bulk packaging units were outfitted with dunnage sets to protect parts during shipment. Dunnage was affixed to the bottom of the bin and coated with polyurea coating for added durability and enhanced product protection.
When parts arrive at Behr's customer's plant and are removed for assembly, the empty dunnage fits into the storage space at the bottom of the bin, so the bin can fully collapse, and dunnage can be stored and returned for future use. And, to maintain the product's integrity, all bins include plastic corrugated dust covers with straps to reduce risk of dust and debris from getting into the parts.
Since implementing the new packaging solution, Behr has reduced waste and has experienced a number of other improvements. "We were able to identify a bulk packaging solution with collapsible bins that eliminated tooling costs associated with thermoformed packaging we used in the past," says Joe Wallace, packaging engineer for Behr.
The company also realized reduced product damage in transit and improved cube utilization. According to Wallace, "Optimizing the number of parts per bin and bins per truck, Behr is shipping more product in fewer truck shipments, and better part density means saving on freight and packaging costs."

On June 26, Microsoft unveiled Windows 8.1 as a public preview; but before installing Win8.1 Preview, you should know a few important facts.
Plus: It's time for the end-of-the-month, nonsecurity patch cleanup; and if you're running Java, check that it's up to date.
Preparing for Windows 8.1 Preview's release
As anyone who reads technology news must know by now, Windows 8.1 makes its initial public debut at this week's MS Build Conference in San Francisco, Calif. Reportedly, Windows 8.1 Preview will be a free download from the Windows Store. The final version is due out sometime late this year.
But before you click that download button, keep this firmly in mind: migrating from Win8.1 Preview to the final Version 8.1 release will require reinstalling all apps not downloaded from the Windows Store. Reportedly, you'll need to use the Windows 8 Refresh feature to remove Win8.1 Preview.
For Windows RT users, a Windows 8.1 Preview FAQ has a special warning: "If you're running Windows RT you won't be able to restore Windows RT after you install Windows RT 8.1 Preview. You'll be able to upgrade to the final version of Windows RT 8.1. If installation of Windows RT 8.1 Preview fails on your PC, you may need to contact your PC manufacturer.
Two Microsoft articles detail what's in Windows 8.1. The May 30 Blogging Windows post lists changes for end users, and a TechNet story, "What's new in Windows 8.1," provides an IT perspective. As has been widely reported, the Win8 Start button has been modified — but not the way most Windows users had hoped.
I was surprised that Explorer 11 is among the updates in Version 8.1. Most of us are still grappling with IE 10 for Windows 7. There's no information yet on whether there will be an IE 11 for Win7.

It's a mystery why someone hasn't shelled out the big bucks to make a gritty version of the Hercules mythos yet. Oh sure, there have been a ton of movies and even a TV series that were more camp and schlock than anything. But let's face it, a Hercules movies, if done right, could be so cool. Apparently the folks over at Millennium Films agrees, because Variety reports they are already moving forward on a Hercules feature film, and a script has even been written. That's the good news; the bad news is that the script is by Sean Hood, who has worked on "Hypercube" (a pretty good movie), "Halloween: Resurrection" (not so much), and "The Crow: Wicked Prayer" (horrid). So am I optimistic this thing is going to turn out good? Um, not really.
More about Hercules via Wikipedia:
Hercules is the Roman name for the mythical Greek hero Heracles, son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmena. He was made to perform twelve great tasks, because he became temporarily insane, and killed his brother. He had to perform these tasks The Twelve Labours of Hercules, to cleanse himself.
Yeah, killing your brother is never a good thing, half-God or not.
Of course it's mentioned in the Variety article that ancient epics are in with the success of "300", paving the way for Hercules. Basically nowadays all you have to do to get a movie greenlit is to compare it to "300".
The comic book version of Hercules. Funky headgear not included.

Just Real Music -- ESLs
Hi guys,
Newbie to this forum and have a quick question...
I have been tryingt o contact Just Real Music because I am interested in one of their ESL speaker kits, but have have had no luck getting return emails.
Before I telephoned Russ I thought I would ask a the forum couple of questions...
1. Are these guys still in business or should I look elsewhere?
2. Is there a better ESL solution in this price range? (My ears just love the sound of ESLs)
you can always DIY ;)
Kits here too
http://www.eraudio.com.au/ or you can DIY or buy used. Used Acoustat 2,3,4 or 1+1 are all imexpensive and give you a top notch interface and a set of working panels which you can upgrade to your hearts content. Regards Moray James.
Also check out
You can also glean a lot of useful information at The Audio Circuit at this address http://www.audiocircuit.com/index.php# there are lots of designs there. You should be able to find something that is of interest. Best regards good luck and have fun Moray James.
I'd avoid JRM and I speak from experience. I got some from him on Ebay and it was 6 months before I ever got them, and it wasn't without a whole lotta trouble and frustration and lies about the panels being sent. Many emails were never returned and I eventually had to win another auction to even get a reaction. I also contacted the Cleveland's Better Business Bureau and the guy was a real piece of work, feigning ignorance and the whole 9 yards. Anyway, I got the panels finally, complete with cracked frames. What a seller, eh?? They still needed finishing too, pretty roughly made,...shoddy workmanship. The actual panels looked like they are pretty good, providing his test results
are truthful, but all else is just a miserable story. Others have had trouble that I have picked up on, so it's not just me. The kicker comes from the fact that once he has the money, you don't dare leave negative feedback, ...and you still don't have them once the time limit is up. That is why I bid again and was ready to kill. Only then did I squeeze some panels out of him. Now, I have panels but no electronics to go with it. My advice is to avoid. I never called him cause of how the emailing was going and I thought my temper just might get the best of me should I call. Hey, I really, really tried on that one, and at least I got the panels.
The lead times listed when they used to be on Ebay was a pure lie. One time I wrote to ask for the umpteenth time when they would be sent,..no reply. Then I had a co-worker write to just make a general inquiry and he got anwered almost immediately, with a "false" leadtime. So no,..no one is going to tell me the guy is not a crooked snake cause I know better.
JMS969,..at least you're not getting emails from the start. I'd take that as a sign.
Sorry for all the negative vibes, but if I can help save someone what I went through,..then I will speak up. For all I care, you can put politeness in the trash can when it comes to this kind of thing. People screwing others is inexcusable.
There's a pair of them on Audiogon in the Classified right now.
Don't know the guy, and no-nothing about the speakers.
Alternatives include contacting Roger Sanders and seeing if he will cell you some cells... and of course DIY
ESLs kit
FWIW - Although I have not (yet) purchased or heard ER Audio electrostatic speakers , Rob Mackinlay has been very informative and prompt in returning emails. My dealings with him so far have inspired my confidence.
I dealt with Russ a couple of years ago and while he is a nice enough guy, he wasn't the best business man. I ordered a kit from him but got tired of waiting and ended up buying a pair of Innersound Eros instead. I eventually did recieve his panel kit model 2.1, but by then I had no interest in messing around with them and I never did do anything with them. If anyone is interested in them, let me know and I'll sell 'em cheap as I don't have any plans for them. The parts looked pretty decent for the money and could be alot of fun for a DIY'er.
Thanks for all of the feedback guys...
I actually took me telephoning him to get a response, he finally answered one of my emails after the telephone call.
I certainly do not need that kind of hassle.
I will continue to research other sources.
Thanks again

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 18
Adjacent Routes
22m. A fine climb with a technical lower wall which leads to a fingery roof and excellent headwall. Not in current guidebook.
Mostly a pleasant 6b route except for the one hard move involving a awkward, burly and reachy use of my arms rather than any fingers. I may, as usual, have missed the more elegant approach.
You didn't miss anything - this needs a long reach symbol! The roof has slight crimpiness but the heinous span to get stood up is the real issue. A good route but very cruxy, this perhaps *slightly* marrs what is otherwise a sweet F6b+.
going to agree with fiend couldn't make the reach to the break
Reach symbol not needed. I'm 5'10" with a negative ape index - its only necessary to get your feet up into the right position to get the height. The route is a well balanced Fr6c without a really cruxy section.
Didn't find it reachy at all and i'm 5'8". Fiend must just have crap technique;-)

Conservation Halton (CH) has issued a Flood Outlook in anticipation of rain forecasted for the area Tuesday and Wednesday.

Following a system that brought some freezing rain and drizzle to Halton Monday, a second low pressure system will push into the Halton watershed on Tuesday, bringing unseasonably warm temperatures and rainfall with possible thunderstorm activity. Rainfall accumulations of 20 to 25 mm are forecast over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday before temperatures drop again on Thursday.

The majority of area creeks are running at or near seasonal levels but are expected to increase with the mix of warmer than normal temperatures, rain and snowmelt. These conditions will result in increased flows and water levels rising to near bankfull in creeks and will result in dangerous conditions along all watercourses. Widespread flooding is not anticipated, however, localized flooding can be expected in low lying and flood prone areas.

CH's reservoirs are still in range of its seasonal winter holding levels and have large amounts of storage capacity available.

CH is asking all residents and children to stay away from all watercourses and structures such as bridges, culverts and dams. Elevated water levels, fast flowing water, ice covered creeks and slippery conditions along stream banks continue to make these locations extremely dangerous. Please alert children in your care of these imminent dangers.

Conservation Halton will continue to monitor stream and weather conditions and will issue further messages as necessary.

Our Competence 3210BU was bought to replace a built-in Ariston unit installed by property developers - whilst expensive at the time, the size, control and flexibility of cooking is excellent.
Bottom oven required new element afer 7 years of hard, daily use - spares are easy to source, not too expensive and easy to install with a bit of common sense!
Top oven & grill are larger than the single oven the unit replaced
Bottom oven excellent size - quick to come to temperature
Fiddly to change oven bulbs (need to remove self-cleaning panels)
Top oven slow to heat

It takes a man with fiery guts
To stand the heat of the spiteful lots
Of little greats still untamed
And future stars still unnamed.
The sweat never ceased to fall
And the stress really took a toll
But success came out after all
Making the stress worthy of all.
Though no thanks be said or showed
And no hats be tipped or bowed
Always remember you are beloved
By those hearts you ploughed and sowed.

Set me free from the bondage you have
You wrapped me in and never let me out
Contagious disease swallowing me whole
To your expense I am not adjourn
Carry me over to where you rest
I beg you please to set me free
Without much further ado
Freedom I pray to bestow upon my feet.
Long days are coming
Seasons are fast approaching
I have quit to see the beauty of thee
Coz your bondages hid my eyes to peek
Tormented soul of thine
To your wilderness of foreign land
I have come to seek emancipation
Yet you moved it to a capital N-O
Why does your wings cover me
To the light of tomorrow that the world brings in
Are you jealous of it
Or you just want me be swallowed by your melancholic sea.
Free me I say
Free me I pray
Free me from your total darkness
Free me from the growling tears of stress.

You better be a little rich,
If you choose to make a pitch.
By bus or car you make the trip,
You've trained yourself just not to slip.
The agents sit; a motley crew,
A few may even look at you.
To them it's just the same old hat,
To find some meat stuck in the fat.
The writer wonders what they think,
Is he good or does he stink?
Most go home with little done,
Was this pitch just done for fun?
Copyright © Gary Kraidman | Year Posted 2013
Whomsoever doth smoke this pipe,
Should be prepared for an easier life,
For the stress and strain of the troubled soul
Are as but vapour in its bowl.
When filled to brim with fragrant stuff
Then tamped well down, and lighted up,
The essence from its mouth will flow
To ease your path where ere you go,
For the guardians wrapped about its stem,
Are the nemesis of weaker men,
And all your pain shall be but sod
Beneath the feet of your chosen God.

Good Finds at Cheese Traders 2
What is it about a discount that makes us go crazy? Have you noticed what happens when a price is reduced, how we start thinking,
Well, why isn't it reduced more? It's 20% off? Who cares? Why not cheaper? Why isn't it free? Why don't they just give it to me, plus one for my mom and a free cookie too? And a pony! I want a pony!
Seriously, sales make people lose their minds. And this has led to a sad realization for me, the perennially thrifty mom. I was forced to notice that I myself have this trait, and it's especially evident during bargain-hunting trips to Cheese Traders.
If you're not familiar with them, consider stopping in to check out what interesting finds they've got in their cheese cases and on the grocery shelves. Besides really good prices on many local cheeses (I overheard a staffer saying to another, "We have a very low mark-up on the Vermont cheeses, but tend to have a higher profit on everything else," which may be true in general but they definitely can have great deals on cheeses and other items from farther away too. If you're hunting down the serious bargains, you just need to know general retail prices so you can evaluate the deals for yourself).
I found myself walking by the display of boxes of organic dehydrated mashed potatoes during my visits. They're a great secret weapon to have on the shelf, convenient for all sorts of things, especially if you're a gluten-free cook: breading for fried or baked chicken or fish or tofu, a thickener for soup or sauces, or even – yes – can just become mashed potatoes for a quick side dish. Plus they're organic, and since potatoes grown with modern conventional practices continually earn their place on the "dirty dozen list" of pesticide-contaminated vegetables, organic is the way to go when it comes to spuds.
(By the way: here in Vermont, even the allegedly conventional growers tend to use pretty great practices. Ask your farmer what treatments they use if they're not certified organic, as you may well find that they're practically organic anyway.)
But back to these little pre-fab boxes with 6 or so servings that had been priced at something like a whole dollar each. Somehow the amount just scrambled my thrift-hungry brain. So I didn't buy any again and again, even though they retail for $3. But guess what? Now they're THREE for that dollar, and it's time to stock up. No matter how crazy your inner bargain-hunter may be.
So if you're local and agree with me that this is something that could make a happy home in your pantry, get yourself over there and buy a few. Oh, and they've got a cooler full of organic Liberte Kefir from our Canadian neighbors too.
And if you're as wacky as I am, we can get together for a big yogurt and potato dinner and boast about the good deal we got on them.

Many residents of Athens and Northeast Georgia have a special bond with the USA Women's Soccer Team that won the World Cup Saturday. Several of the players on that team were on the U.S. Olympic squad that won a gold medal here in Athens in 1996 as delirious fans from this area cheered them on.
The Athens connection is interesting because the more than 76,000 spectators who watched the gold medal round in Sanford Stadium was, at the time, the largest crowd ever to attend a women's sporting event.
That number was eclipsed a few weeks ago in early round action in the World Cup, and women's soccer achieved an even more remarkable record when more than 90,000 watched in the Rose Bowl as the American team defeated a squad representing China.
The Saturday title match was the most-watched soccer game ever on U.S. network television, earning a rating even higher than the men's World Cup of 1994, also played in the Rose Bowl.
Interest in the Women's World Cup is a testament to an outstanding team made up of tremendous athletes deserving of effusive praise. It also is an unmistakable indication of the tremendous progress made in women's sports in the past three decades.
Without a doubt, most of the advancement can be attributed to Title IX, the federal law that mandated scholarships for women athletes in college equal the number offered to men.
That opened the door of opportunity for thousands of young women whose skills, talents and determination were rewarded with college tuition and a chance to continue playing at a higher level.
Whether the success of the World Cup will spark more spectator interest in other women's sports and help build sustained interest in both women's and men's soccer in this country remains to be seen.
But for now, we add our voices to those cheering the U.S. Women's Soccer Team as World Cup Champions for 1999. They are tremendous athletes, sportswomen and role models.

Thinking of getting some new wheels. Skoda Yeti Greenline, either SE or Elegance trim level. 4WD not necessary, if it snows I work from home.
Does anybody have any good or bad experience of said thing. And yes, I'm aware that used ones are as rare as rocking horse sh**.
Annual mileage will be around 20k; do they get anywhere near the claimed 61mpg on the combined cycle?

This color lasts longer than any other I've tried and I've tried them all. That's why I pay 20 bucks for it. Color is very true to description. It does not dry hair like others and not as bad for the scalp either. However, my scalp was drier but then some shampoos do the same thing to me. I have a scalp issue as it is.
