" Brand: Dove / Type: Body Wash/Cleanser / Subcategory: Body Cream/Wash / Suitable for: Body / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / What it does: Cleanses, "
In my opinion when it comes to shower gels paying loads doesnt mean you always get quality so most of the time I buy just average priced brands as they all do pretty much the same thing for me anyway. But my mom seems to have the opposite opinion so shes always splashing out on the so-called 'latest and greatest' products especially when it comes to shower gels and shampoos and this was the latest bottle she came home with 'Dove Cream Oil Cherry Blossom & Almond Body Wash' and she only bought this because it was literally the first shower gel she saw at the supermarket and so she picked it up and Im glad she did because this is another product Ive started using all the time!
Useful Information:
Price: Around £2 - 250ml bottle.
Stockists: Bodycare, Supermarkets, Boots & Superdrug.
Also contains Dove active moisturising ingredients for super soft skin along with the cherry and almond fragrance.
This shower gel comes in a large white & light pink flip top bottle. The top of the bottle annoys the hell out of me because with wet hands it is quite difficult to open but I suppose that ensures none squirts out and none is wasted so I guess that could be considered a good thing to some. The bottle has all the necassary information you could need: ingredients, directions for use, address for the company ... so on so if you do have any issues that should answer all your questions. The bottle is nicely designed and in typical Dove style fashion but that bloody cap at the top is SO hard to get off!!
I have no idea why this is marketted as a shower gel because it does feel and look much more like an runny body lotion than something you wash your body with. The cream is pink in colour and thick yet runny enough to ensure you dont have to use loads each time you want to use it - about a 10p piece worth on a shower puff is usually more than enough for me. Due to the thickness of this it isnt that easy to create a lather with this but after a while this will lather up brilliantly and make LOADS of lather enough for your whole body so keep at it and it will produce so many bubbles.
The one thing Im not totally mad on with this product is the scent. Dont get me wrong it is nice and I do enjoy using this as it lingers on my skin for ages, but its not really anything special. This does just smell like cherry blossom and that is really it - none of the almond scents reached my nose and I couldnt smell any of the distinctive Dove scent which disappointed me as I really love their unique fragrance. The smell is nice and it does linger but its nothing special.
Theres no doubt about it this does make my skin feel really soft due to the thickness and creaminess of the 'gel' and it does make my skin feel much softer than your average shower gel. I dont need to use any extra lotion after Ive washed with this so it saves me using extra cream on skin because this has already done all the amazing work it can do. This does do wonders for my skin and I reckon with prolonged use this would actually combat any dry skin problems I do have but Im not 100% sure Id buy this again if it were up to me. Its good but its not brilliant. I recommend but only slightly, dont go out of your way to buy this one.
Thanks For Reading.

Personally, I've been using Dove products for a while now, as their products are really good for my skin and body, so I know they are a pretty much trusted brand in my world. And actually, I first tried a Dove Body Wash in a hotel in Scotland, when I was away on business years ago, and I actually really liked it, but for some reason only just brought Dove's Body Wash in Cherry Blossom and Almond, to just see if it was as good as the other one I tried, and if it worth it.
The actually Body Wash, is essentially a moisturising cream, with smells added. The cream was easy to apply, and was rich and soft in texture, and was easy to apply around the body without getting into to much mess, as some Body Cream Washes can be, and although with oils in, the cream didn't feel oily on my skin or on my hands why applying, which other Body Washes tried have been, and I really hate it when my skin's all oily.
Applying the Body Cream Wash, I did take note of the smell, it was fairly strong but was not overpowing in the slightest, and with the sweet fruity smell, I really did love it, and I would think lots of people would enjoy the smell too, because it defiantly wasn't an acquired taste, it was a simple, pretty, fruity smell, which is just very pleasant.
The results of the Dove Cream Wash was as I thought they would be, great. The Cream made my skin soft, hydrated and much clearer and cleaner, and the smell lasted quite a while, through the whole day. And as I mainly used the Body Cream Wash on my arms, where I have most problems with, dry and rough skin, my skin instantly felt more softer and smooth, and with my added moisturiser made my arms amazing, and soft. After at the time of writing this, I've been using the Body Cream Wash for around a week now, and I have definitely noticed some great results, as my skin looks much, much clearer and softer, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
I would defiantly recommend this to everyone, as it really has great results, and makes my skin feel amazing, and also would be a great present for someone, as it is really good, and the smell and Cream will suit everyone, and everyone's tastes, and at around £1-2, from most supermarkets, pharmacists and markets, you'll be a fool not to give it a go.
I am quite a fan of Dove products as I have quite dry skin and find after using them that my skin is plesently moisturised and doesn't dry out quickly, so when I recieved this in a gift pack for Christmas, I was very grateful and happy with the results.
The first thing you will notice is the smell. It is very fruity (you can definitely smell the Cherry Blossom), but not too overpowering and quite fragrant without being too sickly sweet. Even after your shower/bath, your skin will still retain this delicious smell, so the smell isn't completely gone after you shower the body wash off.
The actual body wash comes out with a very pale pink colour, with a gorgeous marbled pearl appearence and feels very silky and smooth on your skin. It forms a great lather, so a little goes a long way, and washes off very easily without leaving a sticky residue.
Afterwards my skin felt very soft and didn't dry out.
You can buy these Dove Body Washes in Asda when they are on offer for £1, so they can be obtained at a very reasonable price.
i got this in a double pack for christmas so its not something i would have bought myself. it comes in a pale pink bottle with the blue dove logo we all know. the shower gel itself is very creamy white/pale pink. the scent is my main issue its to be honest quite boring just a run of the mill floral scent very blah. like all dove shower gels it lathers very well and does what it says leaving skin very soft but the triple moisturising is overall a better product in my opinion. im not sure of the cost of the product as like i mentioned it was a gift but i believe dove shower gels are usually anout £1.70. dove shower gels are usually worth the money and do what they say on the tin making them a safe product to buy and are also good for sensitive skin and the whole family.
I don't normally buy Dove products but received this shower gel as part of a set at christmas so decided to give it a go.
The product is called Beauty Care Body Wash Cream Oil, with a cherry and almond scent. Dove claim it is made with 1/4 moisturising cream, and that they have taken 2 of the things skin loves most - oil and moisturising cream - and combined them. The result is a cream richer in natural oils than other shower gels. They claim it is rich in oils but not oily, and deeply moisturising but not heavy.
The product comes in a 250ml pink bottle. Dove products are widely available in most supermarkets and chemists, and this product is currently available at Boots for £2.23. The ingredients do not list any parabens that I can see.
Dove is made by Unilever, who currently test on animals but are commited to eliminating animal testing.
I love the design of this bottle as it is wide at the bottom but tapers in towards the top, where it has a flip lid. You then turn the bottle upside down and squirt out however much you need. I like this as it means I don't have to fiddle with a seperate lid, and its easy to control how much product I want.
I was immediately impressed with the cream as it certainly did appear thick and luxurious. Its consistency and colour is similar to strawberry yoghurt. It has a fresh, fruity smell that is quite strong but not overpowering. I wouldn't say that I could identify the scent of almonds, and the fruity smell is akin to cherry but I wouldn't have necessarily guessed that it was cherry. However it is a lovely smell nonetheless.
I use exfoliating gloves to apply shower gel and I find that I only need a small squirt of this as it quickly turns into a soft, thick lather that certainly does feel creamier and more luxurious than the standard cheap shower gel! Again, the scent is prevalent when using, and it leaves a lovely lingering smell in the bathroom afterwards.
After showering my skin felt soft and almost as if I had already moistursed it. However I did add my usual moisturiser on top in order to seal it in. My skin remained lovely and soft until my next shower, particularly the top of my arms, which can get rough. I put this down to the combination of this shower cream and the exfoliating gloves. The scent lingers to a point, however I occasionally use this instead of soap when I wash my hands as the smell stays on my hands for ages and is very pleasant and summery.
As I said, I didn't buy this and to be honest I don't think it would have occurred to me to buy it myself. But its a luxurious and nicely scented product that leaves my skin soft and fragnanced and I don't think its too expensive. I've been using mine for about a month and theres loads left so it appears to be long lasting. I would be tempted to buy it again but as an occasional treat only as I prefer to use more natural products.
Here's a body wash that moisturizes your skin better than any regular body wash. Dove has embedded skin-loving natural oil in a rich cream - the result is the dreamy-creamy consistency of a cream with the silky-smooth skin feel from an oil.
250ml Usually £1.99
Above is a typical Dove summary. Which is actually quite true. I usually go for Imperial shower gels, but took a chance on this one. It is sweet smelling without being to cloying or to sickly. It foams up rather well, like gels do, but also stays really creamy, smoothing over your skin. After my shower i felt clean and i didn't have that filmy feel that some other products leave behind. It was a lot better than most when it came to moisturizing my skin, leaving it soft and silky, especially on rough feeling skin, on elbows etc.
The only problem come with the lid of the bottle, which can be difficult to lift up, and can easily snap.

Baylor Receives Institutional Achievement AwardJuly 11, 1996
Baylor University was recently awarded the Distinguished Institutional Achievement Award by the Association of Conference and Events Directors-International (ACED-I).
Baylor was recognized by the organization because of the university's support for Jack Thornton, university host for Baylor, who has been an active part of ACED-I since its beginning in 1980.
Thornton served as ACED-I's vice president in 1981 and served as president in 1982. The group has grown from 11 members to more than 900 currently. Thornton serves as chair of the electronics communications committee and the site selection committee for the group's annual meeting which Baylor co-hosted in 1989.
Serving the ACED-I has been a meaningful experience, Thornton said, and he thanked Baylor for allowing his commitment to the organization.
"I care so much about the ACED-I, I would put my own money into it," he said. "However, Baylor has supported me financially and with my time to help build this organization to what it is today."
Thornton received the Distinguished Individual Achievement Award for his service in 1992.

LONDON, July 23 (Reuters) - European shares rose in early trading on Thursday on the back of better-than-expected results from several companies, including Credit Suisse, as the quarterly earnings season gathered pace in Europe.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was up 0.4 percent at 0709 GMT. It fell 0.6 percent in the previous session.
Credit Suisse Group AG was the top gainer, up 4.8 percent, after it posted better-than expected earnings and improved its capital cushion ahead of a strategy shake-up under the Swiss bank's new chief executive. (Reporting by Liisa Tuhkanen; Editing by Lionel Laurent)

A visibly upset economic affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram said that the maths behind this conclusion was "questionable" and was nothing short of crystal ball gazing.
The Finance Ministry is once again upset with the poor souls at Standard & Poors, for having dared to express a 33 per cent possibility of India's rating being downgraded in three years. A visibly upset economic affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram said that the maths behind this conclusion was "questionable" and was nothing short of crystal ball gazing. Arguing that there was no case for downgrading India, the official, who spoke with the media on way to the G-20 Summit, rubbed it in further by adding that if a growth slowdown was the cause for a rating action, then the agency may just as well "downgrade the whole world".
There is a though, a much bigger message that India is carrying to the eighth gathering of the world's top 20 nations. No less than Prime Minister Manmohan Singh himself will deliver it once the Summit gets underway on Thursday at the historical city of St. Petersburg, which among other keystones, is also the birthplace of Vladmir Putin, the host of the Summit.
Also read: PM arrives in Russia for G20 Summit
Singh, who recently told Parliament that he was heard with respect in the G-20 council, shall deliver a simple, if plaintive message to Barack Obama: ask your Federal Reserve to keep printing more money. "I will emphasise on the need for an orderly exit from the unconventional monetary policies being pursued by the developed world for the last few years, so as to avoid damaging the growth prospects of the developing world", the PM said before leaving India. He added that though there were encouraging sings of growth in the industrialised world, "there is a slowdown in emerging economies, which are facing the adverse impact of the significant capital outflows". Clearly, the party is about to get over and some guests just don't want to leave.
This remark, coupled with those of officials later, frame the dilemma neatly. In Mayaram's words, if the excess liquidity of the Greenspan years and the post-crash recovery by 2010 "was bad for India", the anticipated "pullback shall also create problems". China, Brazil and even South Africa are expected to join hands with India and seek a more orderly and predictable pullback from the stimulus. Even the plain speaking Raghuram Rajan has decided to deliver his first review of monetary policy on September 20. By then, the US Federal Reserve would have hopefully made it clear, and in understandable English, what exactly it means by "tapering".
So, does it look like that India has plan B for another "end-of-the-world financial cataclysm"? History suggests otherwise, but the government seems to suggest that tackling the domestic end of the ongoing crisis will help the country ride out of the woods. It is in this regard that Mayaram advances a few arguments, the crux of which is that the Indian economy would grow at 5.5% this fiscal, in line with the government and central bank estimates. This on the back of a fresh spending drive, largely by the central government as well the states, several of whom are headed for assembly elections.
Nearly half of the budgeted Plan expenditure of almost Rs 5.55 lakh crore has been released to states and should be spent over the next six to nine months, neatly coinciding with the run up to the general election. This by itself, and not accounting for election expenditure on the "private" account via cash, should be big pump primer for growth by this December or thereabouts. The comparison with what happened last year, after P. Chidambaram, assumed office as Finance Minister, is even more stark. As Mayaram puts it, the first quarter GDP growth dip came on the back of a sharp 120 bps contraction in the FY13 deficit. "No other country in the world has done something as drastic. That was the reason for the growth dip in the first quarter of the current fiscal, but the second and third quarters should be better", he says.
The good monsoon is the second silver lining and Mayaram says there has been a nine per cent expansion in the farm sowing area, an indicator of a bumper harvest by Diwali. This, he predicts, would give a 100 bps push up to full year GDP growth. On top of this, the $ 30 billion worth of project clearances accorded over the past six months should also bear positive results via improved investment into the country.
Some dark clouds though persist, notably rising international crude oil prices and the fears over Syria. Russia has already warned against any US intervention and while the Summit could help create a consensus on an international response to alleged use of chemical weapons in the conflict zone, the fact is that the Indian basket of crude oil is slowly creeping back up at around $ 112.5 to the barrel. This would pose a concern for the oil subsidy bill and pressure the fiscal deficit target of 4.8 per cent of GDP for this year. The prospect of panicky investors retreating even further from emerging markets due to an escalation is also weighing heavy on the Indian policy establishment.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has used previous G-20 Summits to speak about the need for the developed world to invest in the infrastructure of developing countries and thereby rebalance things a bit. His pet theme seems to be finally resonating with the global order. The World Bank is working on a Global Infrastructure Funding facility of sorts, the final contours of which will be presented at the Summit here. Singh is of the firm view that infrastructure investment flows would stimulate global growth.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee got more than his fair share blame due to what were termed as regressive tax policies that targeted a global giant like Vodafone. P. Chidambaram has since spent considerable time trying to untie the knots. But, globally the mood on the erosion of tax base and profit shifting to avoid paying tax is turning against such practices. For the first time, the G-20 will consider a OECD paper on the subject. India has contributed to the debate and officials are clear that while the country is not going after multinationals, they will have to pay due tax. Fair play and equity, they argue is required, as India cannot afford erosion of its rather limited tax base.

Fenerbahce vs. Benfica: Keys to Victory for Each Side in Europa League SemifinalApril 25, 2013
All of the talk in European club football might be about the German ascendance after Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund defeated Barcelona and Real Madrid by a combined score of 8-1 in the Champions League, but there are two very intriguing matchups to watch in the Europa League as well.
While Basel will face a Chelsea squad with the most name recognition remaining in the tournament, the truly intriguing matchup is Turkish side Fenerbahce hosting the ever-dangerous Benfica, a team that has yet to lose in Portugal's Liga (22 wins, four draws).
Fenerbahce must win at home to stand a chance in this tie, while Benfica will be looking to steal an away goal and perhaps even come away with a win on the road. Let's take a look at a few keys in this match for both sides.
Fenerbahce Keys
The first thing Fenerbahce needs to do is forget about Saturday's 2-0 loss to Genclerbirligi in the Super Lig that puts the Turkish side's championship hopes in serious doubt. It was a tough loss for the side, no doubt, but any distractions against Benfica will be deadly.
Dirk Kuyt, Moussa Sow and Miroslav Stoch must be active, put pressure of Benfica's back line and score when given the opportunity. An early goal for Fenerbahce would keep the crowd in the tizzy and might cause the normally assertive Benfica to play more cautiously.
Assuming Benfica will sink back into a defensive shell and play passively would be a mistake, however. This is a Benfica side with plenty of speed and aggression, and the Portuguese team will look to strike on the counter every chance they get. If Fenerbahce fails to remain organized, Benfica is more than capable of winning this draw.
For Fenerbahce, the goal is simple—win the game and don't give up an away goal. If they can accomplish that feat, they'll be in a good position to win this semifinal with the daunting return leg in Portugal still to come.
Benfica Keys
Obviously, the key for Benfica in this match is to get an away goal. We can talk strategy until we're blue in the face, but if the Portuguese side scores in Turkey, it will go back home with a huge advantage (unless, like Real Madrid, it gives up four goals to pair with that away goal).
Like in any away tie, Benfica needs to absorb the early Fenerbahce pressure and momentum and take the crowd out of the match, or at least as much as the crowd could be taken out of this game.
Benfica also needs to be really stout defensively against a dangerous Fenerbahce front four, a task that will be made all the more difficult as captain Luisao is out with an injury, though Ezequiel Garay will be available.
That means the Benfica midfield will have to track back and support the back four. The team needs to take the sting out of the Fenerbahce, maintain its shape and strike on the counter-attack. This is a very dangerous Benfica side, and it wouldn't be shocking to see them take a first-half lead.
When they get scoring opportunities, attackers like Oscar Cardozo must be clinical. This will not be any easy away match, but Benfica has the ability to earn that vital away goal or even shock Fenerbahce by winning this game.

Johannesburg - Eskom's "overcooked" tariff increases will
negatively impact the future of the country's economy, the Energy Intensive
Users' Group (EIUG) said on Friday.
"The next tariff increases will have adverse effects, and
far-reaching implications for all South Africans," it said.
"These price increments add additional pressure to
industrial customers to just maintain current production levels, and further
price increases will result in production halts and job losses."
EIUG said primary energy costs had increased by 19.8% this
year, a significant increase over last year's 17%.
At the moment the average tariff was 50c per kilowatt hour.
The EIUG expects the tariff to settle around 75c to 80c/kWh
by 2016. This means that there would be another 50% to 60% increase over the
next three years.
The EIUG said it would be undertaking an industry-wide
impact assessment of the electricity price path.
"We have seen a number of refineries and smelters closing
down and need to determine how poor the outlook is to ensure South Africa
doesn't shed critically needed jobs."
Eskom was not immediately available for comment.
The EIUG is a non-profit organisation that represents energy
consumers across the country.
I think our gov is so stupid to agree to these price hiking, Cut the salary of COE of Eskom and we could safe millions, no need for them to pay R500000 and there are people who are suffering,
The problem with all of you moaners is that non of you are doing anything to save electricity. Im quite sure you would not be crying if has installed solar geysers,all light bulbs energy efficient etc. You are stuck in the past of cheep cheep power and you cant accept that things have changed . SA power is the cheapest if you consider how our power is generated ..by coal . Its also the dirtiest . So if you want dirty cheap power thats what you have been getting.BUt its the 21st century and you need to accept that not everything is vastly availiable and everlasting . Its running out man , the air is dirtier than before and the environmental costs of coal mining are terrible .I was also shocked at my 30% escalation but its forcing me to be more energy conscience and make a saving effort instead of being a lazy SNOTKOP or a brain dead Knalpot. These people are sideline fools who havent a clue about what goes on in the real world .They think they can run the electricity companies and take over everything and everyone else is incompetent ,corrupt and stupid. News Flash : YOU are the Dum Dum in the equation.WE need to be energy efficient and thats in the production of energy too. Case in point :Brazil 75%of thats coutries energy needs are by hydro elec and solar power. Everyone there has solar panels on the roof . Its time that you woke up and face the electric shok.

The Yemen government said today that weapons seized Jan. 23 from a ship sailing off its coast originated in Iran.
The Yemeni Coast Guard and US Navy combined to stop and search the ship, finding surface-to-air missiles and explosives hidden in the ship's diesel tank, Reuters reported.
"The source said that the ship, with its cargo, was handed over to eight Yemeni crew in Iran to deliver it to the Yemeni shores," Saba said, according to Reuters.
When it was seized, Saba quoted an Interior Ministry sources that said the weapons, some Russian made, included C-4 explosives, 122-centimeter shells, RPG shells and bomb-making equipment.
Yemen is battling an Al Qaeda branch responsible for several attempted attacks against American targets, The Associated Press said.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said the ship was acting "erratically … so a routine boarding (was) conducted."
Iran's government has denied involvement.
The shipment concerns the US government because it shows "ever pernicious Iranian meddling in other countries in the region," an anonymous American source told Reuters.
The weapons were likely headed to Shiite Muslim Houthi rebels operating mainly in north Yemen.
Elsewhere in Yemen today, the country's military killed 10 militants linked to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
The US government considers AQAP especially dangerous because it has pleged to attack western and Saudi Arabian targets.

TORONTO - Five days removed from the biggest upset of their season, the Raptors get to face the Boston Celtics on their own home court.
There is no question the Celtics will have the one-point loss Sunday in Toronto on their minds for this one, but if its a revenge game, there are enough Raptors who have lived through enough beatdowns in Boston still around that revenge could work both ways.
Count Reggie Evans among those who still believes the Raps owe the Celtics a few.
Its revenge for us too if you really want to look at it, Evans said. Weve been losing in Boston so it can go both ways.
Head coach Jay Triano said winning in Boston is all about matching intensity and surviving early.
They are going to be looking to come back at us and we have to take our game to another level, Triano said. We knew in the second half (on Sunday) they were going to take it up another notch and we matched it and that will be exactly the same thing here. We have to be ready and bring the intensity they are going to bring in their own building.
A lot of times the Celtics try and jump on you early and get into you physically and you have to weather that initial burst, not back down, not show any sign of weakness and then play possession by possession.

There's a man reading this who has no idea how lucky he is that she chose him. She's early twenties, has a Ph.D in Snuggleology and still somehow is not yet aware of the devastating effect she has on men. Certainly she doesn't understand it, not entirely. And there, in that moment, this guy who wants her hand in marriage has an important choice. Let her go on with self-doubt, wondering whether she's good enough, or build the pedestal and show her his mirror. There's also a man reading this who has a daughter in her early teens or late tweens dreaming of her Prince Charming. Her father wants to look out for her future by encouraging her to make a promise to wait for the right man to come along before having sex. And there, in that moment, this guy has an important choice too. Good thing he found CubicZirconia.com, where we make both engagement rings and promise rings.

Thank you for the tutorial. It looks easy because your instructions were so good.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thank you for the tutorial. It looks easy because your instructions were so good.
That's cool! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. I printed your tutorial out and since I am also a machine embroiderer I have some great ideas for embroidering in the corners before sewing the pieces together. What do you all think....shall I embroider on the inside or on the outside? The inside will show when it's opened to access the bread and the outside will show when it's all closed up.
Thank you very much! :oops:Originally Posted by mhansen6
I love the idea of embroidery and think I might make some with initials on one flap for a Christmas gift.Originally Posted by nevrn
Hmm, if you put the embroidery on the outside, everyone will see it when it's folded up on the table. If you put it on the inside, hmm, maybe only the ones who pick up on detail will see it. OK, my decision is to put it on the outside. Does that help? :lol:
I will make great use of this tute as I want all baskets to have liners. Thanks for taking the time to share. It will be well-used.
Thanks, that was my original thought, too, so I will probably go with that. I have visions of Easter, Valentine's Day, Forth of July, etc. etc. And of course, Christmas!
Thanks, I really like that and will try it.
that was great. Now to save it and make some for Valentines/
Make a small basket of cookies
Happy Holidays
Perfect Step by Step! Well done, Thanks!
Thank you all so much for the nice comments. :thumbup:
Thanks for this. What a great gift this will make along with a bought basket.
thank you for the tute -- something for next Christmas!
Thanks this is a great quick idea. Love it. thanks for the tute. Mary
This is great!! Thank you for taking the time to show us!!!
Merry, Merry Christmas!!
That's really clever, thanks ! Maybe a project for next year !
Another project! :-)
I love your idea and thanks for the graphics so it can be visual. Going to make this.....
San Ramon, CA
I love it!! Thanks for the tute.
Pressing all the seams open on one side before turning to make easier pressing on the right side! Wowee! what a tip - I had never seen/heard of that before and I'm sure gonna give it a try. Sounds like it would almost eliminate those little wandering edges from one side to the other that seem inevitably to happen in the most visible spot.
Maybe I won't be picking at that part of the seam with my tailor's awl to get it all lined up. Thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much - that is really neat. I'm going to have to make one of those.
Great quick idea for present, thanks I needed one.
Thank you!!! Will be making some of these!
Merry Christmas

If you've ever watched Bethenny Frankel on The Real Housewives of New York, you know that she 's got an opinion on EVERYTHING. Nothing is off-limits for the new mom–from some of the less pleasant aspects of breastfeeding ("The nipple chafing–chappy, chafing nipples") to her dog Cookie's bad behavior ("Cookie is problematic. She needs more therapy than you and I do"). We had the chance to catch up with her at a recent drugstore.com event where she shared her tips for busy girls. Read on for her hilarious nuggets of knowledge.
On shopping at home: "Drugstore.com is incredible–a one-stop shop. I like to look at all the prices and see that I'm getting the best deal. I hate leaving the house; I don't like transacting with other people. Unless I have to go somewhere and be a person, I'm in my pajamas."
On her beauty routine: I'm obsessed with exfoliation. Once a week I like to do a microdermabrasion and then put a mask on. Well, this was before the baby. In theory, I do this. In my fancy life without a baby and when I was single, this is what I would like to do."
On her must-have product: "Pampers Baby Wipes. I use them under my eyes, the baby's butt, cleaning my hands–I wipe everywhere. They are the best thing for eye makeup. I use them on my face before I wash and it gets all of the makeup off."
On her biggest beauty indulgence: "Facials–the hardcore ones where they do surgery to clean up your skin. Not where it's like 'la la, nice music.' You're not sleeping–they should play Texas Chainsaw Massacre music."

Colt 1911 vs 1991

"1991" was just a marketing term Colt used for a less-refined version of the Series 80 Government Models with various cost-cutting measures like rubber grips, matte finishes, big ugly rollmarks and plastic mainspring housings and triggers, meant to compete with Springfield Mil-Specs and ChiCom Norincos that were underselling Colt considerably in the early '90s. As a point of interest, Colt used serial numbers on them picking up from the GI models produced during WWII.
In the early 2000s they upgraded the 1991s, giving the carbon models a nice polished blued finish, rosewood grips, a more aestheically pleasing rollmark, and a metal trigger (but kept the plastic mainspring housing). The price went up, however, and has kept going up, until the point that they are not really a "entry level" 1911 anymore, a role the various Filipino and Turkish 1911s seems to be usurping from Colt and Springfield.

On Tuesday, I thought we had a decent shot at some fun one's on Saturday and then the mini swell turned to crap. Really dissapointing man.
Maybe a miracle will come through and show some rideable waves for the weekend. Sucks working and not being able to surf during the week rarely unless I take off.
Anyway, just voicing my frustration and withdrawl.

You're absolutely right, just tough with the commute into NY to get all that done early and be at work by 9am. Pretty hectic but have done it before. still sucks.

Taylor Wimpey is to hold a public exhibition of its plans to build 550 homes on land at Moreton Hall in Bury St Edmunds.
The exhibition takes place on Tuesday (23) between 2pm and 8pm at The Flying Fortress pub in Mount Road.
The plans include a secondary school, a local centre and public open space.
An outline planning application for the development known as Lark Grange will be submitted to St Edmundsbury Borough Council later this year.
Mark Edmonds, Planning and Technical Director for Taylor Wimpey, said: "St Edmundsbury Borough Council has identified the land as a key development site to help it meet its target to deliver new homes, key infrastructure and employment in the borough by 2031
"Before we submit an outline planning application for the site, plus the detailed application for Lark Grange, we would like local people, businesses, community groups and stakeholders to find out more and let us know what they think about the scheme."
The site, which is located to the east of Moreton Hall and bordered by Rougham Airfield, is identified as a key growth area in the borough council's Vision 2031 Local Planning Document.
The plans include a mix of one to five bed homes, a children's play area, and park.
Anyone with queries about the exhibition can get in touch with Taylor Wimpey by emailing email@example.com

The MXP is Clement's newest cyclocross tyre featuring an intermediate tread pattern to create an excellent all-conditions tyre. The MXP is named after the airport code for Milan, Italy, a World Cup venue that calls for an all-conditions tyre. The name is also a homage to Clement's Italian pedigree.
The tread is an updated version of the classic Grifo profile first developed by Clement decades ago. Some of the changes include cuts in the central chevrons to allow the tread to flex and more aggressive side knobs with a shape inspired by a soccer cleat. The MXP is designed for a wide variety of conditions and variable surfaces. It excels on grass, loose dirt, sand, moderate mud, hard pack, snow and pavement. If you could only have one cyclocross tyre, this is the one to have.

2012 holiday season should see the usual bevy of discounted home entertainment hardware — everything from HDTVs to 3D Blu-ray Disc players.
It will also see a relatively new home entertainment hardware offering: 4K TVs. And anyone with enough cash to buy one shouldn't plan on any discounts.
LG Electronics and Sony Electronics both are debuting 84-inch 4K sets in time for the holidays (4K denotes a screen resolution of 3840×2160, four times the resolution of the 1920×1080 sets widely available today). Both 4K sets feature a slew of Internet-connected applications, both are 3D capable and both will run you the same scratch as a new car: LG's UD 84LM9600 comes priced at $20,000, while Sony's XBR-84X900 is listed at $25,000.
Other consumer electronics companies, including Panasonic, Sharp, Mitsubishi Electric and Toshiba, have shown off 4K sets in the past year (and Toshiba is planning an entire line of 4K sets in 2013) but this holiday season sees the first real push of the technology to the consumer market.
Gary Yacoubian, chairman of the Consumer Electronics Association's 4K Working Group, said 4K sets have the "potential to energize our entire industry."
"First there was analog, then digital — standard-definition, then high-definition," he said. "Now, with four times the pixel resolution of today's HDTVs, ultra-HD technology promises to transform the home entertainment experience on giant displays, truly recreating the movie theater in [the] living room."
Both LG and Sony are touting their 4K sets as not only the pinnacle of home entertainment video, but also the perfect vehicle for 3D, offering above what 1080p 3DTVs offer. And in terms of available content, Sony has tracked the number of major feature films shot digitally in 4K — from Spider-Man 2 in 2004 to The Dark Knight Rises in 2012 — with nearly 60 films mastered in 4K so far.
"Our professional division continues to see the migration toward 4K content creation with major film and broadcast productions," said Brian Siegel, VP of Sony Electronics' TV Group.
The hardware companies are excited about the prospects of 4K in the home. But as of 2012 there's one major problem: No 4K content for the living room is currently available. Nothing on disc, nothing from broadcast, nothing via streaming or VOD.

I am throwing a party for my mother's birthday on Sept 20th. Approx 80 people have RSVPed yes. The party will be at 5pm, so needs to be dinner-ish. It will be at my parents' house, with the (empty) 2-car garage being used for the buffet/food, and seating throughout the house and yard.
I was thinking of doing a BBQ theme for the food - pulled pork, BBQ chicken, baked beans, mac and cheese, cornbread. I'd also have green salad, potato salad, orzo salad, fruit salad, chips and dip, maybe a couple of easy appetizers.
First of all - is this doable? I have never cooked for 80 before, and am considering having all or part catered, but am concerned about cost.
Second - what quantities of food do I need for 80ppl? I would imagine that caterers have a formula - does anyone know where I could find that info?
Third - any thoughts on my menu? I'm open to anything that is delicious, affordable, and able to be done for a crowd.
Thanks in advance for help!

Anyone have experience interfacing with standalone camera-recorder module?
Received one as spare just to play with. Want to know pinout and signals..
Could you please describe (or even better show with pictures), which wire goes where from recorder PCB?
I successfully found power pins, but was unlucky with recording control and video out pin..
I got my new 5.8 ground station ready and got everything ready to start building my Spy Hawk.
I waited and ordered V2 so I would get the new larger tail. And the ability to turn off the stabilization, better servos, etc.
Well the plane is V1 small tail.
The radio does have the ability to turn off the stabilization (more on that later)
Everything went together well and the little battery charged fast.
I swapped out the AA battery, in the radio, for a 3s lipo. I turned everything on and it all worked well on the bench.
Looks like it is on Channel 6 on 2 different 5.8 Video Rx. that is also one of the channels on the 5.8 Fat Shark Goggles!! Thats great. The camera has a great picture and seems to take light changes very well. The plane does fly great once you figure out how to get it to fly
Looking at the tail, the elevator was already pointing down when the plane is level. This is not going to fly like this I said to my self
So, I re-adjusted the elevator mechanically, to give it some up trim to start with. So it would at least have a fighting chance to gain some altitude
Flying this plane is not like flying any other plane!
The first couple of flights were very nerve wracking. I could hold the elevator stick all the way back and it would not gain altitude.
I used the trim button to get it to climb, and it did a little. I am still holding the stick full up elevator, but it is climbing. I get to an altitude I think is safe to let go of the stick . I go hands off and it stays level It should have started diving, being that I had to hold full up elevator to keep it level strange.
So I pull the stick back, slowly, and it starts to climb, I get to a certain point and it stops climbing strange. So, give little input and it will climb.
I try giving it more throttle and it stays level turn off the throttle it stays level
So once you get it in the air the stabilization seems to work just fine.
Now that it is flying well, I turn off the stabilization WOW WAS THAT A BAD IDEA! The plane turns straight up stalls and flips over spinning out of control. I turn on the stabilization and it takes a second and a great power dive and pulls up. WOW.
Getting it to fly in stabilization mode I had put in about 30 clicks of up elevator trim. Once in manual mode it did not need 30 clicks of up elevator trim.
Here are my thoughts on the issues. If you have ever had a plane with stabilization, you know that the plane and the stabilization board need to be on the same orientation. The board needs to be level when the plane is flying level.
What I need to do now is see if I need all the trim I dialed in. is it doing anything in stabilization mode? If I do, can I re-calibrate the board so it is closer to the manual mode flying trim levels?
I believe I will call them.
I was considering one before I decided to build up my own system.
Thought the display in the TX was neat but was turned off by the camera being the landing gear.
Reading about the other issues and users gripes Im glad I passed on it.
Last night I had better flights.
I dropped the sensitivity on the elevator from 80 to 60.
and I think I am going to go to 40.
I also corrected the CG. it is tail heavy.
I think one issue with the plane not being able to climb, is that if you are in a turn, you will loose altitude, like most planes. I tried launching and heading straight out and I could gain altitude. as soon as I turn, I needed to give it more up elevator.
I took out all of the elevator trim once I was flying... and it flew level...
I flipped to manual mode and it flew well.
The plane flies well once you get it up and going.
you also need to fly it differently then most planes.
Interesting. My V2 manual didnt have the extra options that the V2 TX has eg. sensitivity control, expert mode, inverting control surfaces etc. But Hubsan sent over a PDF via email which helped a bunch.
Heres a video of my first flight. Half way through I turned off stabilisation and had to dial in trim quickly. My next flight I'll try it on manual but without expert mode on as this dumbs down the control surfaces by about half, making it less twitchy for my leaners thumbs.
One thinig to bear in mind, as with most other RTF planes that don't have stabilisation/auto pilot ensure that you trim up the plane BEFORE you fly. If you don't do this then when you hit "manual" your plane may start doing bunny hops and spins and wing overs and its final trick will be to either remove its nose or its tail as the ground comes up and hits it.
Hi Guys,
Mike from Spyhawk.fpv came thru and sent me a version 2 kit minus the TX. The version TX that I have will alow me to turn the video recorder on and off with the "exit" key on the TX, but will not allow me to turn the gyro system on and off with the "enter" key. From what I have read this might be a good thing. What is the "Expert" mode all about? I am assuming the numbers accross the bottom of the screen are the trim values, and 50 is mid-point? What is the number in the upper left corner? As usual no instruction. Can you post the PDF you got from Hubsan? As for the flying and landing charactoristics, you need a big field to turn it and it climbs like a fat duck! I have been unable to flare on landing and the nose plants have taken a toll on the foam around the camera. I have added a piece for foam to the underside of the nose, with an angle that should ease touchdown. Its height should protect the camera. I have secured all this with good old duct tape. Hope this does not affect reception. I assume the antena is behind the receiver electronics. I was thinking about using a single wheel in the nose addition I added. I will see how this works first. I had to add weight to the nose to get proper CG, so if my additions get too heavy I can take out weight. Looking to hear any helpful input. This little plane is still a work in progress. Also the SD card they sent does not work, I had to use one of mine. That was the second one that did not work. Got good video with my 2 gig SD card. Hope Mike is working on the fix for not being able to turn off the gyros and the bad SD card.

As you are probably aware......any weight added to these small
Planes however seemingly slight must be countered withe weight
In the tail. Concerning your inability to flair.......in my opinyon
the manufactures
Suggested C.G. Locations for most of these planes are un realistic
For every day enjoyable flying. My suggestion to you would be
To just forget about the "location" of the C.G. ........take the spy
hawk out to the park early in the morning when it's dead calm....
carry with you a couple of dimes, a half dozen 2" paper clips, some
Scotch tape. Just hand toss with out power , and little by little
keep adding weight to the tail with each toss. Toss the plane level,
And after half a dozen flights of incrementally adding weight, you
will find the spy hawk will glide out beautifully 100+ feet and touch
down like a feather. And when some one asks you the location
Of the c.g. you can say you dont have idea.......but where ever
It is.......its in the perfect location.
As far as your other issue with the hawk climbing like a duck....
If your board you could check my other posts using that
magnifying glass or search symbol at the lower left hand corner
of this post. There's only nine of them, and I'll bet you a quarter
They will address your situation. All you guys seem to be struggling
With the same situation , from reading a lot of these posts. The spy
Hawk is a beautiful plane and it flys like an angel. Good luck!
Hi Dutch Rudder,
Thanks for the reply. I have flown since my modifications and with dumb luck I hit the right CG. It climbs okay and lands like a feather. I did not like the design where the video camera lense was the point of impact, and my mod now has removed that problem. I also stop the bending of the video antena when the plane is set on a level surface. I know I added nore weight forward of the CG so that has helped. It must of been tail heavy and when it stalled, it fell off on a wing and nose planted. does not do that any more. Could you confirm what the numbers accross the bottom of the screen are? And what is the number on the top left? If the numbers at the bottom are trim values, then on the ones that have a two way travel, (ele,ail and rudder), is 50 the center value? thanks for you help.

There's some healthy discussion now about demilitarizing the police. This is the result of people seeing scenes from Ferguson, Missouri's police in military gear facing down protesters.
Now let's talk about demilitarizing the nation's regulatory agencies. Because does the Food and Drug Administration really need SWAT teams to enforce milk pasteurization rules?
John Fund reported in National Review last spring that many federal agencies have militarized enforcement arms.
"Dozens of federal agencies now have Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams to further an expanding definition of their missions," Fund points out. "It's not controversial that the Secret Service and the Bureau of Prisons have them. But what about the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? All of these have their own SWAT units and are part of a worrying trend towards the militarization of federal agencies — not to mention local police forces."
Fund listed a few notable examples.
"Take the case of Kenneth Wright, of Stockton, Calif., who was 'visited' by a SWAT team from the U.S. Department of Education in June 2011," Fund reported. "Agents battered down the door of his home at 6 a.m., dragged him outside in his boxer shorts, and handcuffed him as they put his three children (ages 3, 7, and 11) in a police car for two hours while they searched his home. The raid was allegedly intended to uncover information on Wright's estranged wife, Michelle, who hadn't been living with him and was suspected of college financial-aid fraud."
That's right — student loan fraud.
And in 2010, according to Fund, "a SWAT team from the Food and Drug Administration raided the farm of Dan Allgyer, of Lancaster, Pa. His crime was shipping unpasteurized milk across state lines to a cooperative of young women with children in Washington, D.C., called Grass Fed on the Hill. Raw milk can be sold in Pennsylvania, but it is illegal to transport it across state lines. The raid forced Allgyer to close down his business."
Brian Walsh, of the Heritage Foundation, points out that more than 80 federal agencies have armed officers. These include the "Department of Agriculture, Railroad Retirement Board, Bureau of Land Management, Tennessee Valley Authority, Office of Personnel Management, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service," he said.
"If these agencies occasionally have a legitimate need for force to execute a warrant, they should be required to call a real law enforcement agency, one that has a better sense of perspective," Walsh contends. "The FBI, for example, can draw upon its vast experience to determine whether there is an actual need for a dozen SWAT agents. Too many federal agencies with overlapping jurisdictions and authorizing statutes are intent on 'solving' problems through criminal investigation, prosecution and punishment."
It's good we're having a national conversation about how militarized our local police forces should be. But let's not stop there.
Let's reconsider how militarizes federal agencies such as the Railroad Retirement Agency should be, as well.

David Hale Smith had a good story, but no one wanted to hear it. The Dallas-based literary agent was telling publishers in fall 2001 that the fading-star tale of Houston's Enron Corp. would ultimately produce a good book. No one bit.
"The book editors in New York would say things like, 'What the hell is Enron?'" Smith says. "It hadn't hit nationwide yet. Then, of course, the story hits The New York Times, and they call back frantically looking for folks who have an inside take on this so they can throw money at someone, so they can get their book out first."
And once the book publishers get involved in a developing news story, the race commences to find the perfect writer for the project, someone who has the contacts, time, prestige and experience to produce not only the best book but the best book that can be written in three to six months. In short, the claim game is on.
"In terms of making your name on a story and turning it into a book deal, it's enormously important to have broken some aspect of the story," Smith says, "but it's important in two ways. First, you can simply be the person who actually breaks the stories for your newspaper or magazine. They like that. But there's also the other way to get a deal, which is to be the reporter who owns the story. In other words, your name and your reporting become associated with it for whatever reason. Then you can cash in in a major way with a book deal or even with Hollywood."
Even as the new angles to the Enron tale continue to emerge, a full review of which reporters won "ownership" of the story has been conducted and signed off on by the national press and publishing houses. The winners--first Jonathan Weil then later Rebecca Smith and John Emshwiller of The Wall Street Journal, Bethany McLean of Fortune and Mimi Swartz of Texas Monthly--have been rewarded with industry praise and, in some instances, lucrative book deals. (McLean, along with former Dallas Observer editor Peter Elkind, now a Fortune staffer, and their editor received a reported $1.4 million for their book contract. Swartz is on leave while she works on her book.) Stories highlighting the squabble between publications concerning who first broke the story have been in The New York Times, New York magazine and The Washington Post, as well as both the Columbia Journalism Review and the American Journalism Review. Yet the posthumous Enron attention has never sufficiently answered the question, Did anyone really "break" the Enron story?
"Everybody's hindsight is extraordinarily clear, because people's memories of their own fabulousness get clearer as the story gets more interesting," says Texas Monthly editor Evan Smith, whose publication ran Swartz's story on the Enron culture, "How Enron Blew It," in November 2001. It followed McLean's Fortune stock-price story "Is Enron Over-priced?" by several months. "Bethany [McLean]'s and Mimi [Swartz]'s pieces were the two stories that really called the company into question. But no one really 'broke' it, although lots of people are trying now to say they did. You know, [Washington Post media reporter] Howard Kurtz called and asked if the [Houston] Chronicle did a bad job on Enron, and I said, 'Compared to whom?' The truth is, you can spend too much time navel-gazing about this. The reality is, you get to the story when you get there, and once you get to it, you cover it with all your might."
The person most media navel-gazers identify as getting there first is Jonathan Weil. Weil, who covers accounting for The Wall Street Journal, is a Southern Methodist University law school graduate and former Dallas Morning News intern who spent three years working for the Journal's once-a-week regional insert, Texas Journal. In September 2000, nearly six months before McLean's Fortune piece ran, Weil wrote a lengthy story headlined, "Energy Traders Cite Gains, But Some Math Is Missing." In the story, Weil scrupulously questioned the fuzzy math used by Enron and two other energy companies. The lead paragraph, in a time when the business press and Wall Street were championing Enron, was straightforward and damning: "Volatile prices for natural gas and electricity are creating high-voltage earning growth at some companies with large energy-trading units," Weil wrote. "But investors counting on these gains could be in for a jolt down the road." He went on to explore the controversial "mark-to-market" accounting procedure that gives laymen who try to understand it a bad case of tired head but that nevertheless contributed mightily to the false euphoria Enron had created among investors.
"I just simply wanted to know, What is the quality of their earnings?" Weil says. "And when I looked at them closely, the earnings were all based on hypotheticals--and seemingly unknowable hypotheticals."
The Journal never ran Weil's story in its national edition, and once he saw McLean's Fortune piece, he dropped a follow-up he was working on that would have gone over some of the same points. Nevertheless, he takes pride in the fact he was first to look at publicly available documents and question them.
"Go as far back as you want," Weil says. "I could not find another story by any other reporter or Wall Street analyst that was skeptical about Enron's earnings before September 2000, and earnings is what was driving Enron's stock price. Now, I didn't write about the issue that drove it into a death spiral. But it was an issue that showed the company was not as strong as it presented itself to be. And looking back at that story, it's clear the death spiral shouldn't have been that surprising when it came, because this company probably was never really profitable in the first place.

"Look, all sorts of people were 'first' on this thing," Weil says. "When stock was trading for $90 a share, no one reporter could identify every area of corruption in the company...My view is that I wrote this story for a publication with a circulation of 100,000 that was closely read in Texas and on Wall Street, I did this story on one element, I put it in context, and I showed that this accounting technique had been used before and that it was a huge problem."
Two other Journal reporters, Smith and Emshwiller, would go on to break major Enron stories. ("Their reporting drove the stake through the heart of that company," Weil says.) Now the Journal is making a strong push for a Pulitzer Prize based on the totality of the paper's Enron coverage. That effort and a backlash against the young (31) McLean seems to have quashed some of the early efforts by the press (the Post and the Times, specifically) to award McLean the reporting gold on Enron.
McLean, to her credit, is not caught up in the claim game. "Some people told me it prevented them from investing in Enron, which was very gratifying in retrospect," McLean says. "But no, I've never said I broke the story. I raised some questions--and I'm glad my piece saved some people a lot of money--but I'm embarrassed about how much I missed...But, while I think a number of reporters have done great work on the story, I don't think anyone has really explained what happened yet."
Which is, one hopes, what a good Enron book will do. Ladies, gentlemen, start your writing. You have three to six months.

Polk Robison will always be known as one of the greatest basketball coaches in Texas Tech history.
He lifted the Red Raiders to new heights during his 18 years on the sideline, leading the team to its first Southwest Conference championship (1960-61) and its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament (1953-54). Robison also boasted a .560 winning percentage, and his 248 career victories rank second in program history behind current athletic director Gerald Myers.
But for those who had the privilege of playing for Robison, who died early Friday morning at his home in Lubbock at age 96, he was much more than a successful basketball coach.
He was a leader, a mentor, a friend and a molder of men.
"He was like a father to me," said former Tech point guard Del Ray Mounts, who played for Robison from 1959-62. "He helped me grow and mature in adult life, married life and family life."
Mounts and former Tech forward Jim Reed, who played for Robison from 1952-56, described their coach as a true gentleman who set a shining example with his stately demeanor and unwavering dedication to his players and the university. Mounts said Robison never demanded respect but "earned every bit of it," and Reed said he held his players to a high standard without resorting to strict disciplinary tactics.
Reed also said Robison was well-respected by his peers in the coaching profession, adding that he "never heard anyone say anything ill of coach Robison."
"You learned to play team basketball. The individual always gave in to the team," said Reed, Tech's all-time leading rebounder. "You represented Texas Tech at all times, and you were expected to act in a way that would not make the school look bad. You were expected to be loyal to your teammates and your school. He was just a fine gentleman and a great example for all of us."
Mounts said he's forever indebted to Robison for taking a chance on a 5-foot-10 guard who originally came to Tech to play baseball, and for helping him and several other Red Raiders make the most of their God-given ability. Reed said Robison always made time for the players who needed a little extra teaching, often staying on the court well after a team workout had finished.
"He delighted in getting kids that maybe didn't have as much talent and ability as others," Reed said, "and then turning them into great ballplayers."
Reed also remembers Robison for his intensity and animation on the sideline. Reed recalls Robison jumping out of his seat and shaking his fist at an under-performing player, and because he was so caught up in the moment, Robison missed his chair completely as he tried to sit back down.
And then there was Robison's patented leg kick.
"He sat on the bench with his legs crossed," Reed said, "and when someone made a mistake or threw the ball away, he'd kick his leg clear up over his head."
Reed said Robison always preferred a controlled, systemic style of play, but he also knew when to loosen the reins and let his players play. Reed said one of the teams he played on was a fast-breaking bunch that eclipsed 100 points in five consecutive games, an NCAA record at the time.
Reed said Robison also "put Texas Tech on the map in basketball." The Red Raiders won three straight Border Conference championships from 1953-54 through 1955-56 - their first league titles since Robison was a player in the mid-1930s - and Tech joined the Southwest Conference the following season.
"We had beaten teams like Texas A&M, Texas, TCU, Tennessee, Mississippi and Vanderbilt, and I think that had more to do with Texas Tech getting in the Southwest Conference than anything else," Reed said. "He meant more to Texas Tech basketball than any other person."
Robison spent more than four decades as a Red Raider - first as a player, then as a coach and finally as an athletic administrator - and he enjoyed success every step of the way. But Mounts said Robison always deflected the credit to those around him, which is the mark of a great leader.
"What he's done for Texas Tech - if I had my way - they should call the floor at (United) Spirit Arena Polk Robison Court,'" Mounts said. "I wish they'd do that."
Added Reed. "He'll be sorely missed, I'm sure. There will never be another one like him."

SCM adds vial filling capacity
SCM - which has invested £500,000 (€595,710) in an automated vial filler - said "demand for liquid and powder filling from new clients and existing clients with scale-up requirements," citing BrePCO Pharma which contracted the production of trial batches of a candidate hypotension drug last month as driver.
The new equipment – which is due to be operational this summer – will be capable of commercial-scale production runs, however, the main focus will still be smaller specialist projects according to SCM.
"Although the investment will be a step change in the CDMO's current filling capabilities, it remains at a scale that will be of interest mainly to companies requiring products for clinical trials and the supply of licensed drugs needed in niche markets such as orphan drugs."

Most of the problems described in this post seem to be things that are not really practical to do anything about, but this caught my eye:
tl;dr: If you just typed in all honesty "I like eugenics", even if I enjoy your posts about economics, congratulations, you freak me out and I really, really don't know why I'm still reading your blog.
Really we need to stop using the word "eugenics." In the real world it really isn't smart to keep insisting on the "official" definition of a word decades after it acquired negative connotations for actually pretty good reasons.

Warriors of Radness links up with footwear brand Gourmet and together they present the "Marina del Rey" collection. The collection consists of a wide range of apparel, including board shorts, shorts, pants, tank tops, t-shirts and more. Of course the collection also includes a collaborative sneaker, produced by Gourmet.
"Situated in Los Angeles County, just south of Venice, Marina Del Rey is one of the largest man-made small boat harbors in the United States. It is the carefree capital of LA County. Its many fancy shore side restaurants and yacht clubs seem a far distance from the hustle and flow of Los Angeles on a whole.
This sea green inspired collection reflects the listless cool of this affluent coastal community and is perfect for a champagne, sailing date with that slightly older, independently wealthy woman you met at the boardwalk last week."

Halloween Costumes...In September?
September 09, 2011
It's about that time again...the time of year when I start frantically trying to decide what to be for Halloween! Now, I am well aware that it's September. You naysayers may scoff, but I hand make my costume every year. I love sewing and being creative. I love the freedom that comes from being able to adjust details to my every whim. (I think this sleeve needs more ruffles! This hat should be red!)
Some of my past costumes: "Sally" from The Nightmare Before Christmas, "Velma" from Scooby Doo, "Alice" from Alice in Wonderland, "Jill (post hill)" from Jack and Jill; last year I created my own Steampunk look. As you can see, I'm pretty committed to coming up with one of best costumes in the room. I always plan to attend several Halloween parties, so I can show it off as often as possible.
It's kind of funny, putting so much effort into an outfit you will only wear a few times, but I think it's worth it. I always get lots of compliments, and I have a great time putting it all together! This year, I'm following a literary theme: either Jadis the White Witch from C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (from his Chronicles of Narnia), or Harley Quinn, Joker's wacky paramour, from the Batman series. Now, both of these are iconic characters I would be interpreting as my own. I won't be trying to copy the traditional costume, or the way they are portrayed in TV and movies, and that is the part of the challenge I enjoy most. Feel free to weigh in! What do you think?
What are you going to be for Halloween? Have you decided yet? It's time to start thinking about it! Be sure to join us for some of our great Halloween events at South Independence:
- Pumpkin Carving for Teens
- Haunted Library
- Spooktacular Face Painting (Sign up quick, this is limited to 20 participants!)

The debate has been pretty
The debate has been pretty heated! I'm leaning toward Harley. My mom taught me how to sew, and it's something I am so grateful to have learned. I know that MCPL is trying to get some sewing machines so we can possibly have sewing classes in the future.
We *do* have some great sewing books, and you could probably get some tips and tricks from those on how to teach yourself!
I want to learn how to sew. I
I want to learn how to sew. I think I'm pretty horrible at it, but, in all honesty, I could probably make more of an effort:P

Dooo eeet!
