Ready for a confession? Up until about a year ago, I was still using the same Purpose face wash, Clean&Clear lotion, and drug-store makeup that I had been using since high school. It was working for my skin and I just didn't want to put the time, energy, and investment into researching and purchasing better brands. Plus I don't wear makeup all that often, so my 8-10 year old eyeshadows and bronzers were still holding up just fine!
"I didn't even know that wheat (gluten) was found in many haircare products like shampoo."
While my diet saw a major overhaul back in 2010, the process of changing over my household cleaners, hygiene products, children's products, makeup and skincare has been a much slower process. For the first few years after shifting my diet, I didn't even know that wheat (gluten) was found in many haircare products like shampoo. I also didn't realize that the chemicals I was cleaning with were toxic and could potentially be harming my body while I was working so hard with food to heal it. But it all felt overwhelming at first so I just kept on using what I was used to. Finally I caved and the first thing to go were all of the cleaning products under my sink. The next was to change my shampoo and conditioner. And the final thing, just over the past year has been to overhaul my skincare and makeup.

Enter BeautyCounter. I posted my old makeup bag on Instagram about a year ago and most of my readers were surprised (and appalled haha!) to see how old and likely unsafe everything was. I asked for recommendations on better brands and BeautyCounter was left in the comments over and over and over again. I initially tried a few different brands that were recommended by readers in addition to BC, but landed on continuing to use BC because the pigments were bold and beautiful and I loved the way the skincare and foundations made my skin feel. I don't like anything heavy, and everything from BC that I put on my face felt light and fresh.
So I continued replacing my products one at a time over the past year and have been a closet BeautyCounter user. I am asked so frequently what I use on my skin and what makeup I use, but I didn't want to recommend anything until I was sure that I loved it, that my skin loved it, and that it was the best option for safe ingredients.
"I have been a closet BeautyCounter user."
A few of years ago, the laundry list of unsafe ingredients that I was supposed to stay away from would have overwhelmed me and I would have just turned a blind eye and continued using things I shouldn't be. Give me food item and I can pull out all of the bad ingredients in no time, but cleaning and beauty products were a little more confusing for me. Now that I have been a part of the health industry for so many years, I have had exposure to so much research and so many articles by my peers that I feel a little more confident knowing what is and isn't ok to use. While BeautyCounter isn't "organic" or "all-natural" they are committed to using safe ingredients and practices, and I feel confident using it on myself and my family.
They have committed to a health and safety standard that goes well beyond what is legally required in the United States. BeautyCounter's Never List™ is made up of more than 1,500 questionable or harmful chemicals that they never use as ingredients in their products. This includes the over 1,400 chemicals banned or restricted in personal care products by the European Union, plus additional chemicals screened by Beautycounter and found to be of concern.
Now that I feel like I have given the products a fair test, utilizing them for over a year, I feel better about recommending them when you all ask. The company has a TON of products and it can be a little overwhelming on the website, so I compiled my list of my favorite products that I use or use on my kids on a daily basis for you.

Review: Cary Fukunaga's 'Jane Eyre' is a Near-Scary Romantic Thriller
by Cate Hahneman
March 30, 2011
I want to preface this review with the fact that I have never read Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and I knew nearly nothing of the plot before attending a showing of director Cary Joji Fukunaga's latest version of Jane Eyre for the big screen. Lucky me. Going into Jane Eyre completely unaware allowed for a thrilling, organic experience; the plot unraveled before my eyes, the dialogue was fresh and sharp, and the mystery remained just that until the climactic finale. Which is why I would suggest to any and all who have never read of (or cared about) the story of Jane Eyre to let this film be their first exposure. It's worth every penny.
The plot follows the life of a plain-looking girl named Jane Eyre (played by Mia Wasikowska) whose miserable childhood sees her cast out by an aunt and abused in a strict boarding school before landing at Thornfield Hall, an estate where she is to be a governess. There Jane bewitches the handsome master of the household, Rochester (the brooding Michael Fassbender) but the more he falls in love with the young woman the more Jane is spooked by the strange occurrences in the mansion. Without giving too much away, Jane is awoken several nights to the sounds of a figure wandering the halls, horrifying screams, an attack on a Thornfield guest, and much more. Fukunaga's Jane Eyre traps its Gothic romance in a haunted house and the result is both thrilling and nerve-racking.
Screenwriter Moira Buffini's incredible adaptation restructures the narrative of Bronte's piece, whisking together a mixed chronology that only enhances the film's suspense. The movie opens on the titular Jane desperately running away – but from where we can't be sure. A voice shouts out her name, the echo of which hangs frozen in the air. Cinematographer Adriano Goldman shoots Jane on the bleak landscape of dead grass and grey skies; as the young girl flees she's belittled by the rolling hills, nothing more than a speck, that is until Dario Marianelli's somber score rushes like a cold wind, sweeping the audience into Jane's journey. We're going with her.
After spooking Rochester's horse on the road to Thornfield Hall, Jane must accompany her injured employer for a fireside chat. Rochester asks his governess to divulge her 'tale of woe' – the grim details of her destitute and unprivileged life – but Ms. Eyre won't say a word. Jane is a fiercely independent woman who refuses to allow the abuses and subordinations of her childhood to define her. Rochester smirks, intrigued; no tale of woe can stay hidden forever. The moment lingers – a revealing anecdote that links the two very separate parts of this story: mystery and romance.
Though many have played Jane Eyre in countless film adaptations before her, Mia Wasikowska's portrayal of the deprived yet passionate governess is entirely engrossing. She's physically timid but has the strength of wit that challenges the guarded Mr. Rochester, played as curt and near sinister by Michael Fassbender. The pair verbally spar with delectable dialogue that Buffini has converted from Bronte's book; don't let the Victorian-era intimidate you – the script is as sharp and easy to understand as anything well written today. Fassbender is coarse and impudent while Wasikowska is steadfast and refined. In fact, I might say that my only complaint is that I wished Wasikowska's Jane wasn't quite so subtle with her longing of Rochester; at times it seems as if his love will remain unrequited. She does, however, float through the domineering halls of Thornfield white as a ghost, petrified yet curious enough to maintain the audience's attention. Fassbender captivates throughout, his allure masking the dark secrets of his estate for nearly the entire film.
A few other noteworthy actors give strong performances in Fukunaga's bleak and tempestuous Jane Eyre: Dame Judi Dench is Mrs. Fairfax, the benevolent keeper of Thornfield Hall, while Jamie Bell appears as St. John Rivers, a young minister who gives Jane shelter during her desperate need. Others to leave their mark on the film include Sally Hawkins as Jane's wretched aunt and Simon McBurney as the self-righteous head of Lowood Institution.
I'm approaching this latest incarnation of Bronte's beloved novel from the unique perspective of having never read the classic literature favorite nor seen any previous versions. I am not able to comment on the degree to which Fukunaga's version is true (though I hear it's a particularly accurate rendition) but in the end, I don't think that matters. This Jane Eyre can speak for itself, presenting a dichotomous 'tale of woes' to completely fresh eyes. I was fascinated by the love affair of two intellectual equals whose desires challenge the social norms of the period, and I was enthralled by what lay hidden behind the tapestry (you'll see what I mean.) It's a difficult task to make the hearts of your audience race both in rapture and suspense, but the stark moodiness of Fukunaga's Jane Eyre succeeds on each count.

wikiHow to Get a Date with a Crush Who Is Your Best Friend
Three Methods:Spend Quality Time TogetherTalk and ListenBe HonestCommunity Q&A
Sometimes a great romantic relationship begins as a friendship. You already know the person well and most likely have many common interests. But taking the first steps from friendship to romantic relationship can be tricky, mainly because you risk losing the person as a friend altogether. Here are some ways to test the waters for potential romance.
Spend Quality Time Together
Keep in mind that the aim here is "How to start dating a friend." The assumption is that you, for whatever reason, cannot simply ask them for a date. One approach is to invite them into some regular, planned activity that is more personal and intimate with the possibility of leading to romance.
1Separate from the group. If you and your romantic interest always hang out with a large group of friends, it can be difficult to gauge their feelings for you or have any time alone together. Spending time one on one will help create a more intimate bond.
2Pick an activity you will both enjoy. Do you both love foreign films? Suggest seeing one together. Conversely, are they an excellent bowler but you are terrible? Ask them to teach you. Remember that this is your friend. You already know their calendar and time constraints. Think carefully through all the details.
3Increase physical contact. Try activities that involve direct contact with one another, such as dancing or stargazing where you share one blanket. Physical contact hints at intimacy and will let you know if they are comfortable being close to you.
- Warning: Do not force physical contact or rush into intimate activities like kissing. You risk making your friend scared or uncomfortable. Take things slow and try to follow their signals.
4Take initiative. Did your friend mention he or she loves dancing? Secretly take a dance class and then impress them with your slick moves. It will show you share their interests.
Talk and Listen
Learning more about each other's lives will both help you become closer with your friend and give you a better idea if you will be compatible.
1Tell them details about your life that your other friends might not know. Talk about your childhood and your family. It will show that you trust them and want them to share as well.
2Listen when they talk. Don't just gaze longingly at them thinking about how beautiful your children would be. Remember the little details they mention. It will show them that they are important to you. It will also help with your sly courtship. They are bound to be impressed when you purchase them a copy of a book that they mentioned was their childhood favorite.
3Compliment them. Tell your friend you love their current hairstyle, how flattering their outfit is or that they have a great smile. It shows that you notice how they look and find them attractive.
Be Honest
If your friend has shown no interest in spending time alone with you, or avoids physical contact, then they are most likely not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship. Telling them about your feelings would only make them uncomfortable and maybe even ruin the friendship. But, if your friend seems to be enjoying your time together as much as you are, they may share your romantic feelings. At this point, it is time to be honest.
1Explain your feelings clearly. Let your friend know that you truly value the friendship but that you also have romantic feelings for them and would like to be more than friends.
2Give them time and space. Pressuring them into giving you an answer or starting a relationship right away might make them uncomfortable. Show that you respect them as a friend by giving them time to think.
3Respect their decision. If your friend does not want to pursue a romantic relationship, respect their choice and do not pressure them further. If you want to remain friends, let them know how important it is to you to maintain a platonic friendship.
Community Q&A
- Be patient. Focus first of all on the adventure. After all, this person is your friend because you enjoy spending time with them.
- Don't suddenly blurt out that you like them because it can be awkward. Instead, give them hints. It's okay to be coy and flirtatious. Who knows, they may find it cute!
- Always think about the timing. If your friend has just ended a serious relationship, they might not be ready to start a new one with you.
- If the two of you decide to start a relationship, make sure you are on the same page when it comes to the pace of the relationship. If they need to take it slow, take it slow.
- Don't force contact with them or they might get scared or even be mad when you do not give them time to think.
- It is always important to be on the same page as to what both of you expect from such a relationship, ie: sexual, friendly, loving, etc. Always ask them how THEY feel, as it shows you care...
- Do not try to force it on them or pressure them through guilt. It will not change their feelings and will most likely destroy the friendship.
- Sometimes confessing your feelings to a friend can be interpreted as a betrayal of trust. Always explore mutual interests first to see if there is any possibility for a romantic relationship.

Alex Anthopoulos put himself out on the proverbial limb by bringing John Gibbons back as the Blue Jays manager.
In the court of public opinion, the move was a controversial one at best.
The fan base, having been whipped into a frenzy of excitement due to the mega-trade with the Miami Marlins and the signing of free agent Melky Cabrera, was expecting Anthopoulos to hire a big-time, big-name manager, the likes of Joe Torre or Tony La Russa. They wanted a cherry on top of a sundae.
In Gibbons they receive a man of immense personal charm who has the ability to bring out the best in his players while earning their respect. He is a terrific and inspired choice.
For whatever reason, however, that Gibbons never connected with the populace and he is best remembered by them as the manager who challenged Shea Hillenbrand to a fight and got into a shoving match with starter Ted Lilly. They view him as a knuckle-dragging hot-head who finished his first tour with the Jays with a 305-305 record — plus no playoff games.
By bringing Gibbons back for a second run, Anthopoulos went with his instincts with the unintended consequence being that he has also taken the Blue Jays of 2013 off the hook.
If next year's Jays, who have been bolstered by the likes of Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Emilio Bonifacio and John Buck through the Marlins' trade and the additions of Melky Cabrera and Maicer Izturis through free agency, fall flat on their face it will not be the players who will be held accountable in the fan's eye, but Gibbons and Anthopoulos.
Gibbons will get no free pass.
You have to applaud Anthopoulos, though, for his gutsy decision. The easy one would have been to bring in a veteran retread such as Mike Hargrove, Jim Tracy or Jim Riggleman.
Instead, Anthopoulos made the tough one, the one that brings him the most risk and an avalanche of criticism if it doesn't end in a post-season berth.
"I have more conviction in this hiring than I've had in any," Anthopoulos said emphatically Tuesday. "I can sleep like a baby at night because I know it's the right decision."
In selecting Gibbons, Anthopoulos showed that the wounds of the John Farrell fiasco had cut deep and he was determined, emboldened, not to repeat his mistake. He would never again make a safe, predictable, expected hire, but one that he felt in his gut was the right one.
And that right one for him was Gibbons. With his mind made up, Anthopoulos moved with haste. He contacted the San Diego organization at the end of last week, brought Gibbons into town on the weekend and signed him pronto to a two-year deal plus options late Monday.
While Gibbons conceded his signing could be viewed as risky, Anthopoulos believes in his heart it's a risk worth taking.
"I always reflect on transactions, on what we do on our process and so on. The one thing, even this past season, you go through a rough year, you reflect even more, you try to see where you can improve, where things went wrong," Anthopoulos said. "The one thing, on some self-reflection on my end, the things I've regretted most in my time as the general manager, the decisions that I've made, are the decisions where I didn't follow my instincts — that I've made (decisions) and I haven't done it very often, very few times but I have done it a few times — I've made decisions on what the optics might be, what the perception might be, how the media might react and those are the decisions that have bothered me the most.
"The other decisions that I've made that I felt good about are the ones — I remember many times with certain transactions walking into Paul's (Beeston) office saying: 'I really believe we need to do this. We're going to get killed for it, it's not going to look good.' But at the end of the day it's the right thing to do and in the long run I believe they ended up being the right things to do."
He said that was exactly what went through his mind when he thought about bringing Gibbons back.
"Ultimately the first reaction with Gibby could be: 'You know what, bringing somebody from the past, what's the perception going to be?' I stopped myself and said: 'That's not what this is about.' It's about making the right decision. I'm in this chair to do what I believe is right."
Anthopoulos was quick to add that optics and perception weren't behind the Farrell hire, but given the passion he displayed on Tuesday you have to wonder.
As for Gibbons, he was thunderstruck.
"This came as a big surprise to me," Gibbons said. "It's really a thrill and an honour to be back. I never would have guessed that this could happen … To go out on a limb and bring back an individual who was here a few years ago is a big thing for them. It's not easy to do."
For Anthopoulos, though, it was as easy as pie.
John Gibbons isn't particularly proud of how he dealt with problems he had with Shea Hillenbrand and Ted Lilly in the past.
In his first life as the Jays manager, Gibbons challenged Hillenbrand to a fight after the latter wrote that "the ship is sinking" on the clubhouse chalkboard. He and Lilly got into it after Gibbons removed the left-hander from a game.
On Tuesday at his news conference following his re-hiring, Gibbons said he handled the situations poorly.
Anthopoulos, though, was quick to jump in and say he didn't have a problem with either incident. In fact, he was proud of Gibbons both times.
"We've talked about that and I don't have a problem with it. I actually look on it as a strong point," Anthopoulos said. "The reason being, what happened with Shea Hillenbrand — he better be confronted and sometimes with a manager at times, it needs to be done in front of his teammates. I don't know any other way to deal with that.
"I know it didn't reflect who he (Gibbons) was, we know he's a great guy and easy to play for but if you push, he will react. It doesn't define him but it shows if you do push and he has to react he will react and I think it's important."
One of the criticisms of Farrell's two season was that sloppy play and mistakes and bad decisions weren't addressed.
It shouldn't be a recurring issue with Gibbons.

There is quality, there is value, there is variety, or QVV, in the foothills of El Dorado County.
The El Dorado Winery Association held a special media and trade tasting event in Sacramento yesterday, showcasing the region's wine and moderated by wine writer Christopher Sawyer. The distinguished panel of seven winemakers included Greg Boeger, who opened Boeger Winery with his wife Susan in 1973, also pioneer John MacCready, of Sierra Vista Vineyards and Winery, and relative newcomer Helen Keplinger, Keplinger Wines, who was recently featured on the cover of Wine Spectator Magazine.
"We are very fortunate in El Dorado that we have a variety of rich soils that allows us to produce any type of wine we want," said Ms. Keplinger. "As a region, we should embrace this amazing ability."
(L-R) Paul Bush, Madrona Vineyards; Grayson Hartley, David Girard Vineyards; John MacCready,
Sierra Vista Vineyards & Winery; Chris Sawyer, moderator; Greg Boeger, Boeger Winery; Jonathan Lachs,
Cedarville Vineyard; Chris Pittenger, Skinner Vineyard and Winery; Helen Keplinger, Keplinger Wines
The Wines
The panel brought some of the region's finest to share, beginning with a citrusy 2010 Blanc de Blancs, Extra Brut ($35) by winemaker Paul Bush of Madrona Vineyards. Own-rooted and organic, the vineyards were established by his parents, Richard and Leslie Bush in 1973.
The second panelist, Grayson Hartley, of David Girard Vineyards offered a crisp, dry 2013 Rose ($22) and discussed the resurgence of interest in this varietal.
Also a pioneer in the region, John MacCready presented a GSMC blend, 2013 Lynelle ($29), named after his two daughters.
Greg Boeger presented a 2011 Barbera ($18), which he said accounts for 30 percent of his wine sales. "It's the wine I bring to dinner when I don't know what is being served."
Cedarville Vineyard's Jonathan Lachs and his wife Susan Marks presented a representative organic 2012 Zinfandel ($25), a varietal that helped make El Dorado one of the top wine-growing regions in California.
Chris Pittenger of Skinner Vineyard and Winery offered a delightful 2012 Mourvedre ($25). Ms. Keplinger presented her 2013 Caldera ($60), made up of 58% Mourvedre, 38% Grenache and 4% Conois.
Following the panel discussion, the tasting opened up to include other wines of the region. Auriga Wine Cellars, Bumgarner Winery, Cantiga Wineworks, C.G. DiArie Vineyard and Winery, Charles B. Mitchell Vineyards, Chateau Davell Winery, Crystal Basin Cellars, DK Cellars, Findleton Estate Winery, Fitzpatrick Lodge/Gold Mountain Winery, Gwinllan Estate, Holly's Hill Vineyards, Illuminare, Lava Cap Winery, Mastroserio Winery, Miraflores Winery, Mount Aukum Winery, Narrow Gate Vineyards, and Nello Olivo Wines were all represented.
Most of the wines are made with estate-grown grapes and vineyard designates. An astonishing statistic brought up by the panelists is that the grape tonnage sold outside of El Dorado County increased 67% from 1,646 in 2011 to 2,741 in 2012. "We are experiencing phenomenal growth, said Boeger. "We hope it continues."
El Dorado, designated an American Viticulture Area (AVA) in 1983, is home to approximately 50 wineries over 2000 acres. For more information contact The El Dorado Winery Association at firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit their website at www.eldoradowines.org.

G NYR 5 years ago
Despite Ondrej Pavelec's take on his non-renewal with Liberec, a report out of Winnipeg indicates the Czech team didn't want him back due to poor performance.
Pavelec made it sound as if he wanted to come back to North America after November 4th as he felt the NHL season could be saved. But according to the Winnipeg Free Press, Pavelec was just cut due to his 3.52 and .896 save percentage in 14 games. That's not a good sign for the Jets who just committed $3.9 million to Pavelec to be their starting goalie.

Boys 'thought dead parents asleep'
Two young boys who were found in the same flat as the bodies of their mother and father thought their dead parents were asleep, it has been reported.
The couple, named in reports as Barry and Amanda Harrison, in their 30s, were found inside the property in Regal Court, High Street, Shanklin, Isle of Wight on Monday.
Family friend Pat Cannon, who works as a manager for the block of flats, said the children, aged three and five, were playing in the hallway when she found their father hanging from the loft.
After police were called, the woman's body was found. It is believed she may have been strangled.
Ms Cannon told a newspaper: "I went round because I knew they were going through a rough patch with their marriage. I wanted to make sure they were all right.
"I knocked on their door and the elder boy opened it. Everything seemed normal. The boys were playing in the hallway.
"He said, 'Hello, Pat'. I said, 'Where are mummy and daddy?' They said, 'Mummy and daddy are asleep'. I could see the loft hatch open and some cord. I pushed the door to the room and it felt like a dead weight."
A Hampshire police spokesman said the children were now being looked after by a friend of the family.
He said: "Two young children, who are believed to be the couple's sons, were inside the flat when police arrived. They were unharmed. Both children are now staying at a family friend's address where they are safe and well."
The spokesman said the death of the woman was being treated as "suspicious" while the death of the man was "non-suspicious". He added: "Whilst retaining an open mind, detectives are not looking for anyone else suspected of being directly responsible for the deaths."

I love having a fresh start. I love starting the work week on Monday morning after beginning the week with a refreshing Sabbath. I enjoy beginning new months and new seasons. I love going to bed at night knowing that, should the Lord continue to sustain my life, I will have a fresh start in the morning. And, I love starting a new year.
So often, I fail. I waste time. I snap at my children. I nag my husband. I burn the biscuits. I add too much liquid to bread dough and don't realize it until the rise cycle in the bread maker is done. While most days in my life gratefully go reasonably well, some days are just plain bad. Fallen, sinful creature that I am, I really do thrive on new beginnings--there's something so refreshingly splendid about having a clean slate to work with.
23And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.Once upon a time, I was in rebellion against God. I always claimed to love Him, but my actions proved the opposite to be true: I hated Him. Inspite of myself, God graciously saved me, through faith in the work of Christ. He cleansed my filthiness and cut down my idols. He changed the desires of my heart so that I wanted to obey His law.
24For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
~Ezekiel 36:23-27
Salvation is the ultimate new beginning. From Hell to heaven, darkness to light. From hateful rebellion against God to loving submission. The Lord saved me about 8 1/2 years ago.
Since then, I've fallen more times than I can count. I fail in my obedience every day. But,
22It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.Like I said, I love having a fresh start. All around us, folks are talking about the beginning of a new year. They are full of hope as they write lists of resolutions. They want to change. They want a new beginning.
23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
~Lamentations 3:22-23
As you all consider the beginning of a new year, I want to encourage you all to examine yourselves.
Has your soul experienced the fresh start of salvation? If not, don't delay in repenting and believing the gospel of Christ, Who is indeed powerful and mighty to save. Are you serving the Lord faithfully with your life? If you are, consider what you can do to serve Him better, by His grace. If not, why?
Happy New Year to you all. I truly hope 2012 is your most fruitful and blessed year yet.

Jason Richardson scored a season-high 22 points, Glen Davis added a season-best 20 and the Orlando Magic beat the Sacramento Kings 104-97 on Sunday despite playing much of the game without foul-plagued Dwight Howard.
The All-Star center had five points and four rebounds in 20 minutes and spent most of the first three quarters in foul trouble. He didn't get his first rebound until 4 minutes into the fourth and was scoreless before converting a three-point play with 6:35 remaining, putting the Magic ahead 87-85.
Tyreke Evans had a season-high 28 points and eight assists for the Kings. DeMarcus Cousins, also hampered by fouls, had 16 points and 10 rebounds. J.J. Hickson added 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Marcus Thornton scored 13 points.
Ryan Anderson had 19 points and 11 rebounds for Orlando. Von Wafer made three 3-pointers and scored 12 points, and Hedo Turkoglu added 11 points.
With the Magic clinging to a one-point edge, Turkoglu banked in a 3 with the shot clock running down to give Orlando a 93-89 lead with just less than 3 minutes remaining. Anderson's 3-pointer from the corner and Turkoglu's layup gave the Magic a 102-95 cushion with 35 seconds left.
Guarding Cousins, Howard picked up his second foul at the 10:14 mark of the first quarter and promptly left the game. He was called for a third foul midway through the second quarter and had zero points and rebounds in 6 first-half minutes.
Howard was whistled for his fourth foul at 9:57 of the third quarter. On his way to the bench, a comment earned him a technical foul.
Cousins also was in foul trouble. He picked up two fouls in just more than a minute in the third quarter and went to the bench at the 6:54 mark with five fouls.
The game was the start of a four-game road trip for the Magic, which ends with a Jan. 16 game against the Knicks.
The Kings' next game is Tuesday in Philadelphia, which is the start of a five-game road trip in seven days.
After struggling for much of the game, Anderson got going in the third quarter, scoring 11 points. Davis replaced Howard and was trouble for the Kings again, scoring nine points as Orlando took an 81-79 lead into the fourth.
Despite playing almost the entire first half without Howard, the Magic led 49-47. Davis and Richardson both scored 11 points, while Evans had 15 for the Kings and Cousins added 12. The Orlando bench had 28 first-half points.
A slow starter much of the season, Cousins scored 10 points in helping the Kings to a 21-19 lead in the opening quarter.
Notes: Anderson, who missed his first six shots, grew up in nearby El Dorado Hills, about 30 miles northeast of Sacramento. He got tickets for a group of family and friends. ... Turkoglu argued a first-quarter foul and was given a technical. ... Thornton missed all seven shots in a scoreless opening half, but finally scored on a jumper early in the third quarter, when he had 10 points.

Vice Premier: No Chance of Peace With Palestinians in Near Future
Ya'alon tells Army Radio that Palestinian refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state shows they are not serious about two-state solution.
Vice Prime Minister and Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Tuesday that he saw "no chance of reaching a peace deal with the Palestinians in the near future".
"In the eyes of Palestinians, the occupation began in '48 and not in '67," Ya'alon told Army Radio. "Not only Hamas thinks this – Abu Mazen [Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas] does too."
"Their refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state shows they have no interest in having Israel as a state beside theirs," he added.
The remarks made by Ya'alon, a former chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, to Army Radio appear contrary to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's stated commitment on trying to reach an agreement within a year.
His comments also came a day after the Palestinian Authority flatly rejected Netanyahu's offer to suspend settlement construction in exchange for a guaranteed recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. The Palestinians demand an entire freeze to construction, and have said they will not resume talks until such a guarantee is made.
The U.S., which mediated the proxy peace negotiations and played a key role in the short-lived direct talks that followed, dodged a direct response to the offer, saying its position on settlements has not changed.
"U.S. policy has been consistent. Both President Obama and Secretary Clinton are committed to Israel's democracy as a Jewish state," a State Department official said.
The direct negotiations were relaunched in Washington early last month but came to a halt on September 26, when Israel 10-month freeze expired.

Talking It Over: The hardest parts of being a grandparent
One of the hardest things about being a grandparent is witnessing the discipline or scolding of a grandchild. Even though you know it is a very necessary part of educating and raising a child, it is still hard to see or do.
Seeing one of my grandchildren cry, whether it is from an injury, homesickness, exhaustion or because they have been naughty, is heartbreaking. I just want to gather them in my arms and tell them it will all be OK, soothing their sorrows. However, when that child is crying because they have been put in a time-out, made to sit and eat their supper or put down for a badly needed nap, trying to ease the tears is not a good thing. It is definitely a time to step back and let them learn from the discipline being instilled.
During these times I have to hold my tongue, leave the room and remember what it was like as a young mother, having to discipline a child. Some say that it hurts the parent as much as the child and I believe that whole-heartedly. You know it is for their own good, but still very hard to do and watch. However, by not disciplining, you are hurting your child much more and sending them a message that things like talking back, hitting or refusing to pick up toys is OK.
Simple correction of bad behavior in a child can help them tremendously in the future. Teaching them to not talk back will help them learn to listen and show respect for others. Violence, even child-like hitting, should be corrected at an early age and not be demonstrated in the discipline process. Making a child clean their plate, wait before having snacks, pick up toys and clean their room will help them be more dedicated, organized and resourceful in the future. It could also teach them that dumping out the entire toy box isn't always a good thing.
I have seen some very unique ways of discipline or correction. Time-outs work at times but there are also times when taking away a favorite toy for a short time or denying a simple snack will work better. Rewards for good behavior can also be a creative way of encouraging a child to learn the right way to act. Sticker sheets can be a great way to reward good deeds and when I see one of these on a refrigerator or in a child's room, I like to take time to acknowledge that child's hard work.
Knowing all this does not help the heartbreak that I feel when a grandchild is crying because they can't play with their favorite toy or have been denied a snack before dinner. Even though I know I did the same things to help my children learn, watching them discipline as adults is very hard.
My only consolation in all this is that years ago when my children were misbehaving I would say "I hope your kids do the same thing to you one day." Now it is payback time and even though I don't want to see my grandchildren cry, I know someday their children will be paying them back, too

Car won from casino still undelivered
Woman claims she was taxed $134,000 for Aston Martin she never got
Don Bauder 3 p.m., Nov. 23
Ex-KFMB Channel 8 TV weathercaster and part-time Mission Beach stand-up comic Larry Mendte has been making the wrong kind of headlines in his adopted hometown of Philadelphia lately. Mendte, who departed San Diego to work in Chicago after KFMB fired him in 1992 and who later anchored the syndicated Access Hollywood in L.A., is facing federal charges that he hacked into the email account of his sexy co-anchor about 537 times over a five-month period beginning in January. Mendte, who co-anchored Philadelphia's KYW-TV news with Alycia Lane for more than four years, allegedly used the information to plant damaging stories about Lane with a gossip columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News. Mendte's motive, according to Lane's attorney Paul Rosen, was envy; Lane, dubbed the "Latina Bombshell" by Philadelphia media, was making $780,000, $100,000 more than Mendte. "There's no question that it was out of jealousy," Rosen told local reporters. "Her star was climbing, while his was not climbing.… His conduct was designed to undermine her." Mendte allegedly circulated information about Lane's own mini-scandals, which included a late-night scuffle with a New York City policeman. (Lane was fired in January; Mendte in May.) He is expected to plead guilty when he appears in federal court on August 22.… Another former San Diegan is also in hot water back East. Sean-Michael Lyons, also known as Michael Stevens Lyons, 45, has pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender after he moved from California to Sussex County in New Jersey. In 1985 he was convicted by a San Diego County superior court jury of ten counts of lewd acts with boys between the ages of 6 and 13 and attempted child molestation. He was sentenced to 12 years in state prison. Lyons was a 22-year-old counselor at the Santa Margarita YMCA when the crimes occurred. New Jersey authorities said that Lyons was a pastor at the Damien of Molokai Chapel of the Reformed Catholic Church, which he operated out of his house in a section of Vernon. The church said he had been suspended from clerical duties; it is not affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church.

Foreign banks' entry into the Russian market: motivation, entry modes and strategies
The present paper analyses motivation, entry modes and strategies of foreign banks entering into the Russian market. The share of foreign assets in the banking sector is gradually increasing, proving the fact that more and more foreign banks show their interest in the Russian banking sector. What lies behind this growth? The article shows that motivation for entry is similar to some other developing and transition economies (both PUSH and PULL reasons exist) and presents some peculiar features concerning the modes of entry and strategies. It is shown that recently organic strategy growth is gradually replaced by M&A.

Park and chide: Regarding Patricia Calhoun's "Attention, Cherry Creek Shoppers," in the October 23 issue:
While, in my opinion, parking in the Cherry Creek shopping district shouldn't cost a dime, there is a simple solution: Park in the free garage at the mall, and walk the measly 250 yards to the district. Are we Denverites so lazy that no one considers this an option?

They haven't a prayer: Regarding Stuart Steers's "Adding Insult to Injury," in the October 16 issue:
If you believe in prayer, please join me in praying that the Plagues of the Pharaohs are visited hard and fast on the lords of Pinnacol Assurance and their agents -- "nurses" and "doctors" -- who violate their oath to "do no harm." While we're at it, add in all those who make a living depriving others of their jobs, health and happiness -- not just those who make a killing "slashing jobs," but those who computerize others out of jobs, move jobs to slave labor in China, etc. And don't forget the legislators who make this all legal.
Please, if you're one of those who indiscriminately pray for the souls of those listed above, consider: They have none. You're confusing the prayer waves and diffusing planetary plagues from those who cause them.
Evan Ravitz
Making change: Just a note of thanks for "Adding Insult to Injury," an excellent article. One wonders how to make a difference and compel change. Journalists are in a position to do so as long as their writing seems fair and balanced while exposing things that need change. Stuart Steers accomplished that.

Labor daze: The Colorado workers' compensation system sometimes fails to provide the best outcomes for injured workers, but is it fair to lay all the blame on Pinnacol Assurance? Stuart Steers interviewed one member of the claimant's bar, who then referred him to some of his clients whose experiences with Pinnacol Assurance have not been good. Is this really supposed to be considered an investigative approach to the subject matter?
The workers' compensation system is a complex mix of legal and medical arenas that pits the interests of workers against employers. Do Colorado's political bodies favor the business community? Absolutely. The same bodies love to attack state government agencies. Pinnacol Assurance has to be both state agency and non-profit business to accomplish its mission, and, consequently, it is an easy target for all of the parties in the fray. Treasurer Mike Coffman can attack Pinnacol Assurance to get name recognition in his run for governor. State senator Ron Tupa can keep the donations coming from the claimant's bar by demanding reforms in the system to benefit workers.
Coffman and Tupa are not very objective sources of information about what is best for the Colorado workers' compensation system. A better-researched article would have provided more insight into a serious issue.

No-fault, no foul: I used to do some legal work for Pinnacol, and I now work for a private-sector competitor. I liked Stuart Steers's "Adding Insult to Injury," but felt it was skewed against the employer/carrier position. The brief history of how the SCIA morphed into Pinnacol and the parallel history of changes in the workers' comp system offer no support for Steers's conclusion that Pinnacol executives are overpaid. There is no correlation between the current rate of pay for Pinnacol executives and the changes in the Workers' Compensation Act.
The general theme of Steers's article was that, due to the power and influence of employers and carriers with the legislature, injured workers are being denied benefits that they are entitled to. The workers' compensation system is a very old no-fault system. Both before and after the changes in the 1990s, the system was/is full of latent fraud. Certainly there is some fraud with employers, but I believe that this latent fraud exists primarily with the claimants and the doctors, and most cases involve what would be relatively minor injuries outside of work that are being treated by doctors in the system. The employer may have incentive to deny that an injury happened at work since, if successful, that claim does not count on the employer's premium; after the claim is accepted, however, much of that incentive dissolves. I would like to know the employers' and Pinnacol's positions on the three claims referenced; I imagine that there is a separate side to these stories from these entities.
Please remember that the workers' compensation system was put into place as an alternative to allowing the employee to file suit against the employer for negligence. It was designed to give the injured worker some benefits while getting treatment for the injury without regard to fault for the injury. In a majority of the cases that I have seen, if fault were a factor, I believe that the injured worker's recovery from a jury would have been significantly reduced or eliminated. The changes in the law did not give the employers the upper hand; they leveled the playing field.
All this does not mean that Pinnacol executives aren't overcompensated; they might be. Further, some injured workers (perhaps even those in Steers's article) are undercompensated. At least Pinnacol is getting its reserves up to a point that payment of claims is guaranteed; then injured workers are covered, and that's the goal of the whole system.

Trick or treatment: Thanks for writing about the horrible Colorado workers' compensation system. The administrative trial system for workers' comp is equally bad. I was fired after calling in sick and reporting a back injury; I was subsequently denied treatment. Because the workers' comp laws and procedures are so complex, I had to hire an attorney to represent me.
In Colorado, the burden of proof at workers' comp hearings is on the worker, who has limited resources, and the process is tilted heavily in favor of the employer's insurance company, which has unlimited resources. So workers have an uphill fight to prove their claim. I ended up losing the trial, and now I'm appealing the decision. My attorney was pretty worthless. I could sue him for malpractice, but I don't have the money. I feel that the workers' compensation laws need to be repealed. Let workers sue their employers in court. That would be better than not having any chance of medical treatment for my herniated disk.
Funny, the Republican lawmakers just repealed the no-fault auto-insurance law in Colorado, and now people in auto accidents have to go back to the courts to settle claims. I wonder why the Republican lawmakers won't extend that process to workers who have accidents at work.
Employers have a great deal here in Colorado!

On-the-job injuries: My wife works for Pinnacol Assurance. I can tell you that the people work really hard there; it is the upper management that has all of those perks. If you look into the company a little closer, you will see that the employees do a good job, but the upper management pats itself on the back with all of those bonuses. They aren't just hurting the workers who make workers' comp claims, but also their own employees.

Feat of clay: After reading in the October 16 Off Limits about Bill O'Reilly and Al Franken engaging in a near pit fight, I wonder one thing: Whatever happened to Celebrity Deathmatch? Maybe the Claymation series was becoming repetitive, trite and dull, like almost everything else in the media these days. Yet now the show would seem so appropriate.
I would love to put money on good 'ol Stuart Smalley to pummel O'Reilly's fat head in some highly entertaining celebrity boxing. Wouldn't you?

Who moved my cheese? Dave Herrera, your thoughts on the jam-band scene have merit, and I appreciate your willingness to explore (The Beatdown October 23). I would like to offer that Widespread Panic is quite different from the String Cheeses of the world. My background is Black Sabbath (the first five albums, when Ozzy wasn't a heavy-metal shill) and Zeppelin, with Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers thrown in.
Believe it or not, Panic sates my savage soul. It has some dirty, dirty music, and I feel it gets unfairly lumped into the hippie classification because of its jams and because some wookies had nowhere to go after Phish disbanded. The core following, however, is unmistakably Southern and educated, believe it or not. That doesn't mean you won't find some rednecks in the crowd. There are probably more Jack Daniel's bottles at a WSP show than there are dreadlocks at one of SCI's. The point is, its sound is not a mellow meandering mélange, as many think. In its purest form, it's ass-kicking Southern rock, and my hardcore roots are amply satisfied by the "heavy hippie" sounds of Widespread Panic.

In a jam: It was only a matter of time before Westurd chimed in with a brilliantly scathing attack on jam bands and hippie music. Dave Herrera, take a page out of the current Music Critics for Dummies, copy it and throw your name on top. I wish I had a dollar for every "music critic" who whines and complains that all of his friends love jam bands, but gosh, he just doesn't get it. Lemme tell you, it ain't no big conspiracy to ostracize you from this music you so mock.
Now, I am not going to sit here and defend bands like local heroes String Cheese or Phish or the Dead, but what I want to know is why is the music so reviled? Reading and re-reading your astute observations, I have gleaned a handful of platitudes and nothing else. You get a weekly column in the local flesh-peddling alt-weekly that reaches a fairly large audience of the unwashed masses, and all you can conjure up at your Mac is "It's b-o-r-i-n-g"? Give me a break. Do some work.
The other beef I have with this piece of so-called journalism is all of the time spent talking about the fans of these bands. You do such a marvelous job of detailing your experiences in the scene, like an ethnographer studying chimps in the jungle. As a reader, should I care about how you feel about other music fans? Write about the music. It makes me wanna puke to know they are cutting down trees to print Westurd so you can tell the world your personal opinions about music fans of bands you dislike. Lemme ask you this: What music fans do you like? What concert did you go to recently where there weren't assholes wasted and/or talking the entire time?
Wait, lemme guess: You are into the DJ/club scene, where it's so cutting-edge and hip. No one in the clubs is on drugs, trust funds or is anything at all like hippies. No. No way. That music isn't boring or seriously drug-enhanced -- but I'm sure when you're touting the next crop of record-spinners in town, you will mention all of the ecstasy-fueled morons who are going to see some dick from the U.K. blend records. You will, right? Or how about the next big indie or punk show at the Ogden? You will spend several paragraphs ripping on the trucker-hat-wearing fools dripped in irony with their Punky Brewster shirts and wallet chains. Those disgusting people have to make you angry, too, with all of their posturing amidst their incessant beer-swilling and dissecting of the new Strokes album. Don't forget to point out those silly bastards. A music critic must rise above the masses to his/her place at the top of Objective Journalist Mountain, right?
Thanks again for reaffirming stereotypes, keeping the status quo for "music critics" and utterly failing to criticize music.

Shall we dance? Dave Herrera, I'm a Deadhead, but I have a sense of humor, and I have to admit that Beatdown was funny. The part about waking up in your own drool was great!
Have you seen Warren Haynes live in any of his incarnations (solo, Gov't Mule, Allman Brothers, Phil Lesh & Friends)? If not, you'd better check him out before giving up on jam bands. I haven't seen anyone with soul like his since I last saw Jerry. He is playing with both Govt Mule and PL&F on November 14-16 at the Fillmore; my wife and I are traveling out from Utah for the shows.
You have to go live, though. For the most part, CDs don't do it -- although Warren's version of Elton John's "Indian Sunset" on a recent CD is unbelievable. To really appreciate jam bands, you have to like to dance or like to do drugs, or both. I like to dance, since my drugging days are long gone.

Superzero: I have been reading Jason Sheehan's column for the past year now, and though I walk to the box each week with high hopes, I'm generally disappointed.
I've become increasingly aware of Sheehan's complete disregard for the restaurant community in Colorado. We are all aware that on our last day of work, whether in an office or on a bus route, we tend to stop and smell the roses, as it were, a bit more than most other days. Instead of talking about Duy Pham's last evening at Luna Hotel as one of a stand-up guy who stayed on even after his general manager walked out and he was told his crew was being fired, Sheehan practically ruins him in this town by making him sound like an irresponsible drunk.
With a more recent review of Mel's Restaurant and Bar ("Hum Enchanted Evening," October 9), which we all know is a place that had its day but is a bit dusty, I felt as though I were reading straight from Kitchen Confidential when Sheehan chose to describe the mood at a time before backups are stowed in the kitchen coolers.
I think many of Westword's longtime readers look to Cafe each week for a review that is passionate about the reviewer's experience with the atmosphere and the cuisine -- and less concerned about turning the review into a superhero adventure in which everyone is villain or comrade and it rains kisses or cancer.

Fowl bawl: It may make Jason Sheehan feel better about eating foie gras to think that "God put the critters on the planet specifically to act as little foie gras factories," but that isn't much consolation to the birds ("So Foie, So Good," October 16).
Foie gras is produced by force-feeding ducks and geese huge amounts of food to grotesquely enlarge their livers. Workers shove pipes down the birds' throats and shoot six to seven pounds of a corn mixture into their stomachs every day. Some of the birds' stomachs literally explode.
A PETA investigator witnessed ducks on a foie gras farm having their necks damaged and even ripped open by feeding pipes. Water poured out of a hole in one bird's neck when he tried to drink. Some birds were so debilitated that they were unable to walk and could only push themselves around with their wings. Said one wildlife pathologist who examined birds from the facility, "If this kind of thing was happening to dogs, it would be stopped immediately."
Foie gras is sick. It even has a diagnosis: hepatic lipidosis, or fatty liver disease. It is an indelicate "delicacy" that no one should touch with a ten-foot feeding tube.

Watching the waste line: I appreciated Jason Sheehan's moralizing about the food chain and our need to be more thoughtful about how our meat ends up on the table. I agree that we live in a time of great abundance, but that seems to generate an equal amount of waste. And when I think of the enormous amount of perfectly edible food that is disposed of every day from hotels, convention centers, restaurants, hospitals, grocery stores and homes, it does make me wonder. While some of the above do make a non-publicized humanitarian effort to recycle food (usually through a non-profit third party that collects food for the homeless shelters so that the establishment does not create a breadline out the back door), too much ends up in the landfill.
More can and should be done. Would it be inappropriate to call attention to the restaurants that are donating leftovers of unused food to the homeless and others in need? (I'm not sure how this could be done -- maybe a window decal that they participate in such a program.) I understand that there are various health-code regulations governing the recycling of food, but if Sheehan is truly committed to the idea that every animal's life should not be in vain, then we as a society should be doing more to make every meal count. If every life is sacred, then I, as a consumer, might be more inclined to dine at an establishment that is committed to making a daily difference by honoring the animal that gave its life -- as Jason suggests we do.
P.S.: While I may not always agree with Sheehan's reviews, I enjoy his opinionated and entertaining style of writing. It fits in well with the overall tone of the other great Westword writers.

Language barrier: William Leifheit, who wrote the letter in the October 9 issue titled "Pilgrim's Progress," might do well to remember that many other languages besides English were spoken here in the Americas long before the Pilgrims landed. And our people didn't make yours leave. Heck, the Pilgrims didn't even bother to learn many of the native languages here.
So how about instead enlightening yourself and expanding your knowledge of other cultures and languages? People in other countries usually speak more than one language. This enhances their communication with each other and opens many other opportunities that you will never have.

Old yeller: Here is my rebuttal to all the people who do not like my translation of the words el grito (Letters, September 25). I'm a Colorado native, born and raised in Glenwood Springs, and went to a school there where they only taught Castillian Spanish out of a book called El Camino Real. Growing up, we were taught our Spanish by our folks, who came from Taos, New Mexico. My mother was part Cherokee, my dad was part Ta-Wa. This is the only Spanish we knew, and I will gladly go to my grave knowing that el grito means "the yell," not "the cry." To cry or weep is llora.
All you naysayers can define el grito your way. Our family will define it ours. Thanks to all who wrote in.

The Slice: Fall is truly all about festivals
Tue., Sept. 10, 2013
Are you ready for the upcoming fall festival season in the Inland Northwest?
Take the following True/False quiz and find out.
Trying to eat half your weight in German sausage is an excellent idea.
The mustard on your Polish dog isn't really zesty unless it would reduce a metal spoon to a molten puddle.
To truly enjoy the autumnal goodness of draft beer, your glass should be the size of a Cold War Civil Defense water barrel.
Lederhosen are surprisingly slimming.
All women look quite fetching in those low-scoop St. Pauli Girl tops.
If you do not black out after the second sip, the cider is for sissies.
At a sauerkraut feed, it's not a good idea to sit next to someone shifting his weight from one butt cheek to the other.
"U Pick" means "Strip the trees like the kids in 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' taking the lights and ornaments off Snoopy's doghouse."
People who disagree about how to write Green Bluff/Greenbluff should not date.
You should have your oil changed after eating 10 pounds of sausage.
It's OK to consume fair food if you are certain to throw up on a ride.
Foliage is pronounced foh-lee-ij, not foil-age.
Not everyone will regard singing "Deutschesfest, Deutschesfest uber alles" as being in good taste.
Pumpkin double-entendres wear out their welcome in a hurry. Same goes for most gourd imagery.
"Autumn" is a better name than "Fruitpie" for a baby girl born on the first day of fall.
If someone at a sausagefest has been locked in a portable toilet for longer than half an hour, it could be time to call for the jaws of life.
Spokane area vegetarians can be said to violate their dietary ethos just from standing downwind of the vat o' pork.
It's "caramel apple," not "carmel apple."
Halloween didn't used to be a six-week marathon of merchandising.
OK, how did you answer those?
Hey, you were right. You are hereby authorized to attend fall festivals.
Be sure to ask for extra napkins.
Today's Slice question: What's something about which you alone are angry?

Hilliard's Station Park is located at the starting point of the seven-mile Heritage Trail in downtown Hilliard. Until the mid-20th century, this was the site of the city's original town center, where Main Street and the old railroad station came together. The station is long gone but the city wants the site to be a center of activity again. Part of a phased revitalization effort to bring business and activity to downtown Hilliard, Hilliard's Station Park is both a recreational hub for a nearby bike trail and a year-round event space for the community. The park contains an amphitheater, spray park, multi-functional building, a public restroom and storage/maintenance facility. Architectural features of the two buildings reflect the site's past use as a train depot.
