NEW YORK — Retailers elated by stronger-than-expected holiday sales are expected to report today that they saw an unintended consequence in January: sales up only 1 percent from last year by one measure.
Stores ordered so conservatively for the holidays that they ended December with relatively little excess inventory — and less than usual to mark down in January.
As a result, some stores pushed up deliveries of spring items from jumpsuits to sandals. But bargains were all that most consumers wanted.
"During the Christmas season, they rewarded themselves," said Stifel Nicolaus & Co. analyst Richard Jaffe. By last month, Jaffe says, shoppers were "hunkering down" again and didn't buy much of that regular-price spring stock.
Michael Niemira, chief economist at The International Council of Shopping Centers, predicts retail chains reporting Thursday on their sales at stores open more than a year will show a 1 percent rise in January.
The figure — which Niemira estimates rose 3.6 percent for December, compared with December 2008 — is considered a key indicator of retailers' health. His calculation excludes Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, however, because Wal-Mart no longer reports its monthly sales.
The figure fell 4.8 percent last January from January 2008, and the month is generally considered retailers' least important. So many merchants are more worried about the next few months than January's modest showing.
For January, luxury chains are expected to offer a bright spot, as affluent shoppers — seeing their worth beginning to rebound — kept spending.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect Nordstrom Inc. to post a 5.5 percent gain at stores open more than a year, for example. They see Saks Inc. reporting a 2.8 percent increase.
Bolstering those forecasts, cosmetics company Estee Lauder Cos. reported last week that even some of its most expensive offerings fared well in its fiscal second quarter, including an anti-aging treatment that costs $47.50 per ounce. Estee Lauder's profit rose 62 percent for the period.
Lower-price retailers like Costco Wholesale Corp. and Target Corp. also should show healthy gains as shoppers refocused on essentials like food after the holidays. But stores that offer middle-income shoppers nonessentials, including many department stores and mall-based clothing chains, could show sales fell or increased only slightly.
Until the job market improves, many shoppers are likely to remain frugal. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters estimate that employers added 5,000 jobs in January, following a loss of 85,000 in December. But government figures coming Friday are expected to show the unemployment rate ticked back up to 10.1 percent in January from December's 10 percent.
Some forecasters expect the retail industry to post a 31 percent increase in fourth-quarter profit compared with a year earlier, but they say the current quarter will be more challenging.
Economic recovery in the U.S. rides large in part on consumer spending, including major expenses like health care and housing, because it accounts for 70 percent of economic activity, according to the federal government.
Manufacturing grew last quarter as businesses moved to replenish their inventories, but they will cut back again unless consumers spend more, economists say.

Diane Browning is the village of North Syracuse Deputy Mayor. Browning was appointed to the Board of Trustees four years ago and in the next election was elected in to finish out the remaining year of the term. After the election, Browning was appointed Senior Advocate to the village as well as Deputy Mayor.
"My life is pretty much an open book," Browning said. "If you know me, you know me."
As Senior Advocate Browning says that her main responsibility is being there for North Syracuse's senior citizens. Browning aids seniors with anything from helping them fill out applications, notifying them about eligibility for different state and county programs that are available to them to making sure they have rides to the supermarket.
When citizens began coming to Browning three years ago with travel issues, she approached the situation proactively. Today, compliments of the Central New York Regional Transportation Authority and P&C, the village's senior citizens no longer have to worry about transportation. Centro Bus Service has been made available through the two companies at no cost to the seniors every Tuesday.
The bus transports everyone to the P&C located at Pitcher Hill.
The buses go to the Pitcher Hill Apartments, Maloney Manor, Malta Manor and Centerville Court, all senior housing units, between 11:30 a.m. and noon on Tuesdays. The buses leave P&C between 1 and 1:30 p.m. depending on which housing unit you hail from.
Senior programs now available from the village of North Syracuse range from tax relief, healthcare, form assistance, state park passes, and community discounts to employment.
If you are unable to purchase smoke detectors and alarms, calling Diane can lead you in the right direction, a program for this specific situation is overseen by Browning. Cell phones are also now available to seniors for emergency purposes. There is no charge for the donated phones that may only be used to call 911.
Another problem facing the area is senior housing according to Browning.
"A lot of times their kids come in and wonder if they are able to stay in their homes and ask about senior housing availability," she said. "We need senior housing badly, all of them currently have two to three year wait lists."
As Deputy Mayor, Browning only wants to help the village.
"Hopefully I'm helping a little bit with the load to the mayor," she said. "I like being there for the community, serving the people of North Syracuse and being part of making decisions for the community."
In June of 2009 Browning does not intend on running for her position in the election. So when she was asked what she would do with the downtime, she responded.
"I don't know, that's a long time away and a lot could happen between now and then," Browning said. "I will have to do something, I cant sit down and watch TV."
So what is it about North Syracuse that Browning loves?
"I love the small town atmosphere, it's just a small community that you get to know your neighbors," she said. "I'm delighted that there's more businesses showing an interest in the area, we need them and welcome them."
In her off-time Browning enjoys spending time with her family and reading. She also likes working on things like the Plank Road Chamber of Commerce golf tournament, the Spring Festival (coming May 26) and the spaghetti dinners.
"It eats up a lot of my personal time but it does because I allow it to and I like it to," Browning said.
So what's next?
"My life is pretty much an open book," she said. "If you know me, you know me."

AS Route 9 shoots southward from Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the grand Victorian mansions of the old spa yield to the familiar outposts of American road culture. There are gas stations and convenience stores, a vegetable stand, a lawn-ornament emporium, a drive-in barbecue joint with picnic tables, and the rusticated cabins of the Thorobred Motel. It takes a sharp eye to pick out, on the left, the silver diner with the small rooftop sign: Chez Sophie Bistro.
The motorist who whizzes by in the afternoon is entitled to feel a twinge of pity. That empty parking lot. That lonely diner. And just think of the misguided idealists who thought they could sell French food out in the wilderness.
But as dusk approaches, car after car takes a sharp left turn into Sophie's. By 7, the lot is full, and so is the restaurant.
What these diners have found is a tiny bit of France 3,500 miles from Paris, the neighborhood bistro that every Manhattanite dreams of -- situated, unfortunately, in a neighborhood that takes three and a half hours to reach by car.
Chez Sophie is worth the drive. For nearly 30 years, it has been serving classic bistro dishes, the kind of deceptively simple food that, for the French, makes life worth living. In that time, the menu, printed on a single sheet of paper, has scarcely budged. The customers won't let it. They want the caneton a la Sophie, tender slices of duck breast in a sweetly piquant apricot and green pepper sauce. They demand the sliced veal in a cream and lemon sauce.Continue reading the main story
Up and down the Hudson, innkeepers and restaurateurs have made giant strides raising the region's culinary standards over the last decade. But Chez Sophie has been there all along, with a single cook in the kitchen turning out one flawless dish after another.
Yes, there is a Sophie. She is French, despite her all-American last name (Parker), and six nights a week she serves 40 to 50 meals to customers who, in many cases, have eaten at the restaurant more than 100 times. Now in her early 70's, she rules over a kitchen staff of precisely two, not counting the dishwashers. Her husband, Joseph, takes reservations, greets and seats. Their son, Paul, waits on tables and buys the food and wine.
Bill and Kimberley Comiskey from nearby Malta have eaten at Sophie's every Friday night, in the same booth, for nearly three years. That adds up to more than 150 meals, but the actual total runs much higher, because they come with friends on other nights and celebrate at Sophie's on special occasions. ''This is the place we compare others to,'' said Ms. Comiskey, who operates a day spa in Latham, N.Y. ''It's our benchmark.''
Mrs. Parker herself makes very limited claims for the place.
''I do very simple things, actually,'' she said, seated at a front booth in her chef's whites early one afternoon, before the day's cooking got under way. ''I don't even think of it as French, really. I just think of it as good food.''
In a way, the modesty is understandable. Chez Sophie cruises along with a set menu of seven appetizers, eight main courses (plus a fish and pasta of the day), and seven desserts. The wine list fits on two sides of a piece of typewriter paper: 39 whites on one side, 38 reds on the other. There's a nice list of Belgian beers. The appetizers are priced from $4.50 to $10, the entrees from $21 to $29.
The offerings are pre-nouvelle: country pate, escargots in butter and garlic, roasted poussin, steak with peppercorn sauce, chocolate mousse. There are a few contemporary touches, like a veal chop roasted with portobello and shiitake mushrooms, and quail in a currant sauce enlivened with balsamic vinegar, but that's as wild as things get.
Within tight, traditional limits, however, Chez Sophie makes good on the promise implicit in the name ''bistro.'' The ingredients are fresh, the flavors pristine, the presentation unfussy. The thinking behind each dish is crystal clear, and the food is turned out with a sure hand.
The minimalism is deceptive in any case. The set menu is fleshed out with specials that take advantage of seasonal local produce, like the pink, purple and yellow beets that were served as an appetizer, with a walnut-oil vinaigrette and toasted walnuts. A good-looking hunk of monkfish came in from the restaurant's fish supplier in Albany. Mrs. Parker threw slices on the grill until they were smoky and charred, then served them with sweet local corn, haricots verts, a red-pepper coulis, and shallot vinaigrette. After she and her husband picked thumb-size blackberries from their backyard in Hadley, N.Y., Mrs. Parker simply added pureed raspberries and wrapped the fruit in a rich, fragrant sabayon. ''This is the style I grew up with,'' Mrs. Parker said. ''It's what I'm about, that's all.''
The origins of Chez Sophie go back to postwar Paris, where Mr. Parker, who had grown up in Astoria, Queens, was studying at the studio of Fernand Leger after fighting his way across the Pacific aboard an aircraft carrier. One day in 1946, he and a friend found themselves sharing an elevator in the Havre-Caumartin Metro station with a rather attractive young woman. ''Do you speak English?'' Mr. Parker asked. ''Sprechen Sie Deutsch?'' the woman countered. Mr. Parker's friend knew a little German, and a date was arranged.
Sophie-Leocadia Wilczek (pronounced WILL-check) was a 21-year-old from Billy-Montigny, a coal-mining town in the Pas-de-Calais, near Belgium. Her lack of English at the time proved to be no barrier to romance. The two married and in 1951 headed off to the United States, where Mr. Parker set up a commercial art studio in Astoria.
Mrs. Parker came from a big family of fine cooks. They raised their own rabbits and ducks, grew their own herbs and cultivated their own vegetables. As a little girl, she would run next door to her Polish grandmother's house and spend all day in the kitchen. The style was Polish at her grandmother's, French at home.
''I never took clients out to eat,'' Mr. Parker said. ''I always took them home, and they'd say, 'You know, you could start a restaurant.' ''
They did. Gripped by what Mrs. Parker calls ''a midlife crisis,'' the couple bought a defunct restaurant in Hadley, population 850, and moved into the house next door. Mrs. Parker's total professional training was a six-week apprenticeship with George Seitz at the Arch Restaurant, then in North Salem, N.Y., and now in Brewster, to learn how to turn out food in volume. In May 1969, Chez Sophie opened.
By all normal laws of business, Chez Sophie should have failed. ''The local people said, 'If you don't have pizza or spaghetti on the menu, you'll never make it,' '' Mr. Parker said. ''When you told them you'd be serving ducks and snails, the reaction was 'Ugh!' ''
Supply lines were shaky. Local wholesalers did not understand why Mrs. Parker wanted strange lettuces when they could supply her with all the iceberg she needed. She spent a lot of time explaining what leeks, endive and arugula were. No one believed her when she said she wanted slim green beans, picked before they achieved full size. ''In those days, people didn't know what half the herbs were,'' she said. ''Now, everything has changed.''
Despite the obstacles, the word got around. Hugo Fiorato, who conducted for the New York City Ballet at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, brought carloads of customers. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt was an early customer. Despite the lack of pizza, others soon followed. ''We didn't make a lot of money, but we survived, and we ate well,'' Mrs. Parker said.
Over the years, Chez Sophie moved around. The Parkers took it into Saratoga Springs, stayed nearly 10 years, and then moved back to Hadley. Then, in the early 1990's, Mrs. Parker developed a fascination with the little stainless-steel diner, vintage 1950. ''We'd pass it on the road, and I'd say, 'You know, I think that diner is smiling at me,' '' Mrs. Parker said. It came up for sale, the Parkers pounced, and on Bastille Day in 1995, Chez Sophie entered Phase 3 of its long life.
The diner setting feels right. It merges a purely American concept of budget cuisine with its French equivalent. (An early ad for the new location read: ''French food, French wine, American stainless steel''). Customers can park themselves on a stool at the counter and order a drink, slip into a booth or walk into the slightly more formal room in the back, part of an addition to the diner that is not visible from the road.
The front window booths, with their simple white cafe curtains, look westward across Route 9 to a broad, grassy meadow. As the dinner hour proceeds, the sunset puts in a spectacular appearance. Slate-gray slabs of cloud settle in, lightened by milelong brush strokes of peach light that deepen to a violent red as the sun drops below the horizon.
Chez Sophie is a chummy place. Mr. Parker, who has decorated it with his small metal sculptures of ballet dancers and fencers, works the room, chatting with regulars and if anyone looks bored, giving them a notebook full of his cartoons to browse through. Meanwhile, out of sight, Mrs. Parker sends out the food: a cool, silken sole and scallop terrine, earthy plates of grilled marinated portobello mushrooms and eggplant sprinkled with herbs de Provence, steamed salmon resting on beet greens, surrounded by a puddle of raspberry coulis. Dessert brings a pecan tart with vanilla ice cream, a blueberry tart with a hazelnut crust, and a house classic, a dense bread pudding speckled with currants and bathed in a sabayon.
Somewhere between the appetizer and the salad -- a perfectly dressed melange of organic greens -- the idea of eating several hundred meals at the place seems not only possible but perfectly reasonable. It all depends on how long Mrs. Parker can keep up the pace.
Adapted from Sophie Parker, Chez Sophie
Time: 2 hours and 25 minutes, including 2 hours marinating time
4 4-6 ounce monkfish fillets, all membranes removed
1 1/2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons coarsely chopped mixed garlic chives and summer savory, or other herbs of choice
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup (preferably dark amber)
1/4 cup high-quality vinaigre de Jerez (Spanish sherry wine vinegar)
1/2 cup corn oil (do not substitute other vegetable oil)
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
3 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and ground white pepper.
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the monkfish fillets with 1-1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and the garlic chives and summer savory. Rub the fish well with the oil and herbs, so that the herbs stick to the fish. Transfer to a covered container and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 2 hours.
2. While the fish is marinating, prepare the vinaigrette: In a medium mixing bowl combine the maple syrup and vinegar. Stir to dissolve the syrup. Add the corn oil, shallots, red bell pepper, and salt and black pepper to taste. Refrigerate until serving (may be prepared a day ahead of time, with improvement in flavor).
3. Prepare a hot grill. Sprinkle the fish with kosher salt and white pepper. Place on hot grill, and cook for about 3 minutes. Turn, and grill until the fish is opaque, about 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and allow to rest for 1 minute. To serve, slice the fillets diagonally, and arrange on individual plates. Spoon vinaigrette on top of and around the fish. Serve with a fresh vegetable, such as haricots verts or fresh sweet corn off the cob.
Yield: 4 servings.
Adapted from Sophie Parker, Chez Sophie
Time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
1 1/4 cups whole shelled hazelnuts (available at health food stores and specialty markets)
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 1/2 to 3 cups fresh blueberries, washed and thoroughly dried
10 ounces currant jelly
2 tablespoons brandy.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet, and bake until toasted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool, then rub the nuts by hand to remove the crisped skins. Discard the skins, and place the nuts in a food processor. Chop until coarsely ground, and set aside.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix at low speed just until blended. Add the ground nuts and all-purpose flour. Mix at medium speed until the dough forms a ball. Divide the dough into three balls, and cover two with air-tight plastic wrap to freeze for another use. Press the remaining dough evenly into the sides and bottom of a fluted 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill the pan and dough for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prick the crust all over with a fork, and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool, and remove from pan.
4. Arrange fresh berries as close together as possible, in a single layer over the crust. In a small saucepan, combine the currant jelly and brandy. Place over medium heat, and reduce to evaporate the brandy and return the jelly to a thickened consistancy, about 5 minutes. Brush the tarte with jelly until the berries and gaps between them are well-covered; all the jelly may not be needed. Serve at room temperature.
Yield: One 9-inch tart (8 to 10 servings).Continue reading the main story

Fingersmith is a two-part BBC mini-series that was televised in 2005. The story, which is an adaptation of Sarah Waters' Man Booker Prize nominated novel, follows the meeting of two very different young women and what madness ensues. Directed by Aisling Walsh, it stars Sally Hawkins, Imelda Staunton, Elaine Cassidy, Rupert Evans and Charles Dance.
Acknowledging the wrong she has done, Maud knows she must escape Mrs Sucksby if she is to rescue Sue. She manages to get out and finds her way to an old business associate of her uncle's, but he refuses to help and sends her away. Alone in the alleyways and streets of London and unaware of the dangers that lurk, Maud falls prey to sexual predators and realises she has no choice but to return to Lant Street. Mrs Sucksby is overjoyed to see her and Maud discovers that she is in fact Mrs Sucksby's own daughter. Meanwhile, employing all the underhanded tricks that her childhood has taught her, Sue escapes from the asylum. She heads for London where she plans to get her revenge on Maud for what she sees as betrayal. At Mrs Sucksby's, Sue confronts Maud, Mrs Sucksby and Rivers; a huge row ensues and in a struggle Rivers is killed. Despite Maud being guilty of Rivers' murder, Mrs Sucksby confesses to protect both girls and soon after is executed for the crime.
Having disposed of Sue, Rivers takes Maud to London to Mrs Sucksby's house. There Maud learns that Mrs Sucksby is the mastermind behind her escape and Sue's downfall. Maud is plagued by doubts over her treatment of Sue and the fake life that she presented. In reality Maud was orphaned and brought up by her Uncle, a cruel man, who has abused his niece and hardened her heart. The nightly readings in his library were not as innocent as it appeared to Sue. Maud was forced to read pornography to her uncle and his friends. Tormented by the cruelty of her existence, Maud found in Rivers a way out. By marrying him, she could escape the prison of her uncle's house. But what Maud hadn't expected was to be so affected by her friendship with Sue - or indeed that she would fall in love with her. In order to save herself from her uncle, Maud had to reconcile herself to hurting Sue. But even Maud couldn't have imagined that her world would be further turned upside down.
Since she was orphaned, Sue Trinder (Sally Hawkins) has been brought up amongst pickpockets and charlatans. She has been protected and cared for by Mrs Sucksby (Imelda Staunton) who believes Sue is too good a girl to get directly involved in such a world. But when Mrs Sucksby's old friend Richard Rivers (Rupert Evans) offers 20-year-old Sue £3,000 to assist him in one of his scams, Mrs Sucksby cannot resist. Passing himself off as a proper gent, Rivers has befriended a young lady, Maud Lilly (Elaine Cassidy), who stands to inherit a fortune when she marries. However, Maud's maid has recently left her service and, without a chaperone, Rivers' access to Maud is limited. He wants Sue to be accepted as the new maid and to help him win Maud over. Once married, Rivers plans to have Maud committed to an asylum and he will then take her fortune for himself. Arriving at Briar, the estate where Maud lives with her wealthy bookish Uncle Lilly (Charles Dance), Sue enters another world.

Alan Turing was a mathematical genius who made several significant contributions. He played a central role at Bletchley Park in cryptanalysis, helping to break the Nazi Enigma code, thus shortening the war and saving thousands of lives.
After the war he helped develop an early computer, naturally called the Turing Machine.
Then in the early 50's he turned his attention to mathematical biology, writing a paradigm shifting paper on morphogenesis, a theory which now forms a part of chaos theory.
But there was a problem. He was gay.
And in 1952 he was arrested and charged with committing an act of indecency under Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885, which outlawed homosexual sex. Turing was convicted and given a cruel choice. He could either go to gaol or be subjected to chemical castration. He chose the latter.
The chemical castration involved regular injections of oestrogen to suppress his libido. One of the side effects of oestrogen is depression and this is what happened to Turing. And in 1954, under the influence of depression, he committed suicide.
In 2009, then Prime Minister Brown publicly apologised for the treatment of Turing saying:
Thousands of people have come together to demand justice for Alan Turing and recognition of the appalling way he was treated.
But this apology is NOT enough. A brilliant mind was destroyed because of the false beliefs of the Judeo-Christians, who even today, seek to persecute homosexuals. Such persecution is profoundly immoral.
What we need is an apology from the various Christian denominations and an admission that a brilliant mind was destroyed to satisfy their false morality.
Don't hold your breath.

Vanity(12 Posts)
Me again. I'm now on antibiotics for acne because I have had a very bad flare up. I have had this flare up becuase I have stopped using the topical product which was keeping the acne at bay. The product I was using was not prescribed, as it was just a toner thing you would buy from the skincare aisle.
My dad has a thing about me only using soap and water. Anything else would be vanity. Since I have stopped using my product on his instructions and switched to soap my skin has become very greasy.
I went to the doctor about a completely unrelated matter and he asked if I had ever had any treatment for my acne, so I didn't approach the doctor about the acne at all. I have only been taking them for a few days so I don't know if they will work.
What I have been thinking is that I cannot use any cosmetic products because that would be vain ( I mean cleanser, toner, moisturiser, not actual make up). Now I'm on these antibiotics, is that not also vain? Even though they have been medically prescribed, the end result is the same.
Incidentally my mother puts foundation on every day unless she is not leaving the house. He has never once said anything about her wearing make up. For me it is different, and I think he assumes that I am trying to attract men. It is cystic acne and it is quite sore.
I can't see that treating it with antibiotics is in any way morally superior to cleaning my skin with a bit of toner. I have seen people in church wearing make up although not trowelled on. I don't think cleansing is in any way comparable to wearing make up anyway.
Is taking the antibiotics not just vanity again? According to their definition of vanity, that is. I don't think not wanting to be covered in marble-sized lumps is all that vain, but what do I know.
No it is not vanity. How old are you? It is your face and body and only you have the right to decide what you do with it. Nobody has rights over you, emotionally or physically. I am questioning your father's influence over you. Please be reassured it is not up to him whether you use a facial toner or not.
Use the antibiotics if your doctor has prescribed them and your face is sore. The vanity thing is very odd - not sure why your dad is telling you this. It seems very punishing and controlling, sorry.
This does sound very controlling. If your skin is bad take the antibiotics that are prescribed by the dr.
I've been a Christian for well over thirty years and I take care of my skin by using the usual cleansers and creams. If the body is a temple it needs looking after.
Im a Christian and Ive used antibiotics for acne it's not vanity. Acne is not just a couple of spots. One good thing about getting older is the spots have gone
In Romans 12:3 it says "I tell everyone there among you not to think more than it is necessary to think"
So,it is necessary to think something of ourselves, not be arrogant but be balanced in our view of ourselves and have self worth.
If antibiotics will help with your skin and that will give you a better feeling about yourself that could be great for you. As with all these things, it's always balance. Balance between the inner person (which is the most important thing) and the outer (which still is important to our self worth)
The issue I am having is that I wouldn't need the antibiotics if I could use my toner. But use of the toner would be vanity. I am annoyed that it is acceptable for me to use antibiotics but not toner. It feels to me like the antibiotics are totally unnecessary because I could just use the toner instead. But it is ok for me to take antibiotics because they are prescribed and therefore medically necessary.
Is there a natural toner you could use? Like cider vinegar or lemon? I also have hormonal acne and I've read lemon juice with honey is a good one for it or is it just soap and absolutely nothing else even if it's a natural product, created by God?
If these are your beliefs, up to you.
If they are your dads, buy what works and decant into a bottle that he doesnt object to.
How old are you OP?
Your dad is controlling.
The belief you have just stated does not make sense. Over use of antibiotics is putting your life at risk. Every time you take them the bacteria in your body that are not dead becomes more resistant.
If you can't use the toner ask the gp to prescribe you other things. What am wondering is why the gp hasn't prescribed something like
Acnecide with benzoyl peroxide at 5%. Getting an infection is putting your life at risk. Why would your father want that.
If all fails, try sudocream. Some people say that it works for them. He doesn't have to know your using the toner or does he check all your things, walk into your room and control everything you do.
Seeing that this is a bit religious and church is mentioned.
There is a that story of the drowning man who refused help from passers by in a boat etc. When he drowned and went to heaven, he told God about his faith and how God didn't help. God told him he sent him help and he didn't take it. Apply this to your situation. You have the help, take it. You don't have to be medicated for something you can prevent.
What's your age? It will help with what advice people on this website can help you.
I am middle-aged. I am not used to having this sort of interference in my life.
I thought yesterday that what I have posted on this thread seems completely disingenuous as I have more products than just the one toner. I have heaps of products but it is the fact that I was not just using soap and water that has prompted this. I wouldn't have approached the doctor with my acne as I didn't feel it was bad enough to justify an appointment.
It isn't anything to do with the products being natural or made by God. It is to do with the difference between hygiene (soap) and trying to make myself attractive (spot lotion).
Ironically my dad is always on about antibiotic resistance. It's just that because I have been prescribed them, that is acceptable for him. Putting a lotion on is vanity, taking drugs with the same aim isn't. I will probably end up with thrush, too.

Take a look as Robert Pho talks about his tattoo history and works on the sleeves of a loyal client below:
Robert Pho was was born in Cambodia, and found himself moving to America back in 1971. Trouble with the law landed Pho a life sentence in prison; he was able to plea bargain to 15 years, of which he served seven. His tattooing is appropriately attributed to black and grey, prison style; he made his own machine while serving hard time with a guitar string and a walkman motor.
Practicing on himself, Pho developed keen artistic skill with all the time he had to practice. During his stay behind bars, other inmates began to seek out Pho's expert skill to get tattooed. Without a single lesson, Pho caught the attention of Jack Rudy, who was impressed with Pho's self taught, black and grey tattooing.
A few years later, Pho opened Skin Design Tattoo in North Carolina. Several years later after a painful family tragedy, Pho packed up his things and moved to Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife and two children.
"Art has always been something I've been into, since I was four or five years old."
His clientele hold Pho in the highest regard, praising his work ethic, concentration, and most importantly, his humility. As great as Robert Pho has become, he remains humble and appreciative of his roots and idols - Bob Tyrell and Tom Renshaw.
Reestablishing Skin Design Tattoo in Las Vegas, Nevada, Robert Pho is constantly booked and loves every minute of it. Sin city is often associated with gambling, lavish lifestyles and flashy hotels, but Skin Design Tattoo softens the blow and stands high above the rest of the tattoo shops trying to get a piece of the pie.
Soft spoken, easy going, and undeniably brilliant, Pho has stood the test of time and handle all adversity thrown his way. Factor that in with world class tattooing and you have a recipe for an all time great. Follow Robert Pho on Skin Design's website and facebook.

It's an age old topic that that nevr seems to go away. Many of us have had to deal with the situation known as cheating since we 1st started dating. Feelings are often hurt. Marriages have ended in divorce. Families have been broken up and sometimes simultaneously have been extended. Children have been born out of this. Uncoventional unions have been formed because of this.
While infidelity in a relationship seems to be a totally negative ideal, others have found ways to implement it into their lives to reduce its negative effects. Some have been introduced into the swinging culture to allow infidelity as a supplement to their unions.
Some have been able to move past a relationship in which they were cheated on and have been able carry on without taking their baggage to the next relationship. Some have really taken being cheated on personally and have needed counseling to help them be able to trust again.

Cancer Council is calling on Victorians to help beat cancer by volunteering for the 30th year of Daffodil Day on Friday 26 August.
Volunteers are needed to sell Daffodil Day merchandise for the 30th year of the campaign. All money raised will support those affected by cancer through information and services, as well as funding prevention programs and cancer research.
With the help of around 2000 volunteers, merchandise will be available at 250 street stalls across Victoria.
Cancer Council Victoria's Head of Events Megan Potter said the charity was hoping to raise $1.4 million in Victoria this Daffodil Day, and local involvement would be vital in reaching the target.
"Thank you to everyone who supports Daffodil Day in their community each and every year. Across Victoria there many amazing volunteers and site coordinators, including some who have volunteered their time for Daffodil Day for 20 consecutive years! Others will be taking part for the very first time," Ms Potter said.
"Whether you're volunteering to support someone you know affected by cancer, want to give back to the community, or like the idea of spending a couple of hours with friends for a good cause, every volunteer will play a critical role this Daffodil Day."
Mr Potter said Cancer Council was excited to be celebrating 30 years of Daffodil Day, with all funds raised going towards cancer research, prevention programs and support services.
Those who volunteer will be matched with a site that's convenient to them.
To volunteer visit www.daffodilday.com.au/volunteer or phone 1300 65 65 85.

Crewe to reopen Woodards talks
Crewe boss Gudjon Thordarson is hoping to persuade Danny Woodards to sign a new contract.
Last Updated: 04/05/09 6:13pm
Crewe Alexandra boss Gudjon Thordarson is hoping to persuade Danny Woodards to sign a new contract.
Woodards' current deal expires in the summer and talks over an extension had been placed on the back-burner while the club's fate was decided.
The Railwaymen have now been relegated to League Two, and Thordarson plans talks with Woodards and the other players in his squad who are out of contract.
"Danny and ourselves decided to put any talks on hold until the season ended and we knew where we were going to be," Thordarson told the club's official website.
Squad will be the same
"The players will be in for fitness tests this week, so hopefully I will get a chance to speak to a few of them before they go off for the summer.
"There will be a few players going, but the majority of the squad have one or two years left, so therefore the majority of the squad will be the same.
"There cannot be that many changes, but we need some players for the big part of the squad.
"We will have to see what is available and what quality we can bring in for the money we have.
"I only want good quality. All I can promise is that I will do my best to bring good players in for certain areas of the team."

If I ever need to be reminded why... today would be it...
Right now I'm sitting on the patio in the sunshine, drinking a glass of Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon [2004], loaf of artisan bread, Danish blue cheese, veggie sticks and hummus, and some kalamata olives. Couple neighbors stopped by, chatted a bit... more wine... Then to top it off, on the radio they play Dobie Grey, Drift Away..
After I finish this glass I'm going to try and muster up enough energy to crawl over to the hammock for an hour before the sun goes down..... daydreaming about how much I miss the daily commute...

Gotta hand it to ya, Mack. Except for the Cabernet Sauvignon, that is. Never been into that particular grape. A little Merlot or Riesling can fill the need, depending on the mood. But for evenings I'd rather sip a bit of Red Breast for Irish or Glenmorangie for the Highlands. But that's after spending the day outdoors in one of my toys - with the top down, of course.
More seriously - this business does work but it did take me several years to get it to work well for me. It cannot be said enough - work the niche(s) that you enjoy and keep at it. Provide something of true value to your readers; help them find whatever it is that they are looking for - as it relates to your niche. And NEVER try to game the system.
In the travel business I did NOT get started at the beginning as did some of my competitors at the beach. I had a lot of catching up to do. But I did stick with it and now I work to stay ahead, as some other folks try to catch up to me. I started by sharing pictures of things we liked to do at the beach. Then we added descriptions of things to do and a 900+ page business directory. People like to "walk the boards" - so we provide nearly 200 pictures of the entire boardwalk. Not a whole lot of narrative, mostly captions and descriptions. All fun things - all things we enjoy.Bill / Marketing Blog @ 12PM - Current project: Resurrecting my "baby" at South Baltimore..

The simpler things are just as good as the little luxuries.
It's nice not to have to be jarred from a peaceful sleep by the buzz of an alarm clock in the morning. Not to have to rush to take a shower and make a quick breakfast and rush out the door. Not to have to run to catch or miss a bus or train to get downtown in time to stop for a coffee on the way, and not to have to run the rest of the way with said coffee spilling and destroying yet another necktie. And not to have to have two bosses giving conflicting orders all day, each one badgering you to go faster.CUSTOM BANNERS by GRAPHICS CANDY ~ Banner Sets and Website Graphics ~ Professional design, reasonable rates

I laughed at your coffee-on-necktie example. Then I had trouble trying to remember the last time I even wore a necktie that wasn't a bow-tie. I don't know if I should admit this or not - but I no longer own a suit. For the last several years I seem to make do with a quality blue blazer (jeans or khakis) and a tuxedo. Business meeting attire is a polo shirt (with corp logo) over khakis.

lmao@remodelling guy
I am never sure if that picture of being relaxed while "working" suits me. I actually like to work. My workaholic husband actually has to make me go to bed a lot of nights. I stop working in the evening wishing it was morning so I could get on with it!
Of course, not always, but mostly. BUT! on the days where I can't bear to hit another keystroke or sit in front of a computer monitor, when I just want to go out to a cafe and have 2 large latte macchiatos and gossip with my best friend--and I do it--THOSE are the days when I'm glad to be my own boss!

BHS Awards Honor Remarkable Volunteers, Organizations
- Nov 7, 2006
- Topics:
Courageous, industrious and remarkable volunteers and organizations were honored by The British Horse Society at a prestigious awards ceremony.
Individuals and groups were presented with awards by guest of honor Desi Dillingham, chairman of British dressage, and one of the BHS's new Vice-Presidents, at a ceremony at Saddlers' Hall, in the city of London.
The British Horse Society's Chairman Patrick Print said: "With ceremonies such as this we publicly honor all our volunteers who are the very bedrock of the BHS. They are the brave and the tireless, the brilliant and the unstoppable. And we recognize and honor the best work of professionals, companies, and public servants who do so much to advance the interests of equestrianism. The award winners are the perfect examples of this type."
Jeni Gilbert received the BHS's leading award for volunteers, the Award of Merit.
The Chairman's Commendation went to the Organizing Committee of the European TREC Championships 2006. The citation praised the group's "care and professionalism" in the planning and running of the hugely successful championships.
The Bodynfoel Award, for the person who has done the most to promote The British Horse Society, was won by Virginia Scott-Watson, the organizer of the successful Borders Festival for the Horse, in Scotland, during its first four years.
The BHS Silver Stirrup was won by Mary Walker, who has for more than a dozen years at the BHS-approved Lords House Farm, Blackburn, Lancashire, given disadvantaged or disabled children and adults the chance to get close to horses and other animals.
Avril Sleeman won the title of BHS member who has done most for equestrian access. She was nominated by the Access and Rights of Way Advisory Group (AROWAG) for her "enormous capacity for perseverance and hard work" which has led to 22 new bridleways and byways being put on the Definitive Map in Surrey, London, and Kent.
Harry Paviour picked up a welfare award for "outstanding contribution to the well-being of equines" by saving the lives of horses through the writing of the manual Fire Safety Guidelines for Equine Establishments and Agricultural Premises, which he gave in its entirety to the BHS.
The Tarquin Trophy, a new award, was presented to the BHS by Wendy Reynolds in memory of a horse and rider killed in a road accident. This new award for work in the field of riding and road safety was presented to Alison Edwards and Richard Holt.
Lizzel Winter, who passed the BHS Fellowship Exam in October 2005, attended this year's awards to receive her Fellowship Certificate.
The venue for the awards was kindly provided by the Worshipful Company of Saddlers.

ParentPreviews's Review of A Dog's Purpose
by ParentPreviews | 385 Ratings • 385 Reviews • 2 thanks
Published February 02, 2017
Click for more ratings and availability
No matter what your feelings are about dogs (or reincarnation), don't expect to view this film without shedding a few tears. The repeating emotional roller coaster of cute puppy, followed by life's challenges and impending death leaves you feeling like you've watched four tearjerkers in one package. Young children, who will undoubtedly be attracted to this movie's irresistible advertising, will be even more needy for a parent's comfort. Unlike many other PG movies that are animated, the reality of the characters and events in this live-action production magnify the drama to a greater degree that may prove more frightening than expected for little ones. The depictions of unkind treatment of animals, a dog with a gunshot wound (that includes some blood effects), a child abductor, a cruel arson prank, domestic squabbles and characters struggling with addictions, all work to create frequent peril for humans and canines.Click for more ratings and availability

text: Intecessory prayer Verse 11. When Moses held up his hand— We cannot understand this transaction in any literal way; for the lifting up or letting down the hands of Moses could not, humanly speaking, influence the battle. It is likely that he held up the rod of God in his hand, Exodus 17:9, as an ensign to the people. We have already seen that in prayer the hands were generally lifted up and spread out, (See Clarke's note on "Exodus 9:29",) and therefore it is likely that by this act prayer and supplication are intended. The Jerusalem Targum says, "When Moses held up his hands in prayer, the house of Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hands from prayer, the house of Amalek prevailed." We may therefore conclude, that by holding up the hands in this case these two things were intended: 1. That hereby a reference was made to God, as the source whence all help and protection must come, and that on him alone they must depend. 2. That prayer and supplication to God are essentially necessary to their prevalence over all their enemies. It is indisputably true that, while the hands are stretched out, that is, while the soul exerts itself in prayer and supplication to God, we are sure to conquer our spiritual adversaries; but if our hands become heavy-if we restrain prayer before God, Amalek will prevail-every spiritual foe, every internal corruption, will gain ground. Several of the fathers consider Moses, with his stretched-out hands, as a figure of Christ on the cross, suffering for mankind, and getting a complete victory over sin and Satan. Verse 13. Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people— Amalek might have been the name of the ruler of this people continued down from their ancestor, (see Clarke on "Exodus 17:8",) as Pharaoh was the name of all succeeding kings in Egypt. If this were the case, then Amalek and his people mean the prince and the army that fought under him. But if Amalek stand here for the Amalekites, then his people must mean the confederates he had employed on this occasion.

Review by dajashby
I make no bones about it, I regard McGee as a culinary demigod. For years I have been in awe of the scholarship that informs <i>On Food and Cooking</i>. His new publication is a distillation of that wisdom, applied to the practicalities of cooking just about anything (and that includes selecting and storage of produce). Of course I already know some of it, but not always the scientific explanations. And there's plenty that's new to me. This book will help you get the best out of a recipe, or improve one that doesn't quite work. Food for thought!

DI has been a huge part of our kids lives the past couple of years in a very positive and meaningful way. They have learned creative problem solving and maybe more importantly how to work with other kids in small groups. Our family supports WIN / DI 100%.
I can still remember the day I found out that I was going to have the opportunity to start participating in Destination Imagination as a second grader. I was ecstatic to have the chance to create stories and dress up in funny costumes with my friends. As I competed in DI for the next eleven years, I learned that I this opportunity was much more important than just dressing up and acting. The skills that I gained in DI have proven to be valuable in college, and I have no doubt that they will be indispensable for my future as a nurse. DI gave me the ability to stay calm and reason my way through stressful situations, confidence to speak effectively in front of people, teamwork skills, sportsmanship, engineering skills, artistic skills, and creativity. These are all skills that I will apply to all aspects of my life. DI was by far the most valuable childhood activity that I participated in.
I participated as a student competitor from 2000, the first year of Destination Imagination when I was a 5th grader, until 2006 when I was a senior in high school. Since then I've also volunteered as an appraiser and hope to get involved again after I finish grad school. DI gave me a passion for learning and exploring that I have never lost. I loved my time in the program and learned many lessons ranging from teamwork, to working with tools, to artistic skills, to the most important lesson DI teaches you, how to work hard to solve problems creatively while having a positive attitude. The skills I learned in DI allowed me to excel in my studies at college and gave me the passion for problem solving that has helped me become an engineer. Because of the creative problem solving skills I learned in DI, I ended up being an intern for NASA in college and am now pursuing my PhD in engineering! I cannot thank the volunteers who set up the program enough for everything they did to make DI such an amazing program that has had a huge positive influence in my life!
I have been involved in Destination Imagination both as a client and as a volunteer for the past 12 years. This organization has helped me grow in so many ways-- academically, mentally, socially-- as well as it has given me a greater appreciation of giving back to my community. The creativity that it fosters builds so much on a child's academic experience in a way that cannot be acheived in the classroom, and it provides so many opportunities for children of all different levels and strengths to grow. I am so thankful to be a part of this organization both as a participant and as a volunteer and will continue to be involved for many years to come.

Good Points
Fast, tough, reliable.
Bad Points
Limited overclocking apart from golden bridge cutting, which worked.
General Comments
As an owner of so called 4 top end mobo computers Asus , et al, I hate to admit that the old ECS K7S5a keeps on, gaming while the others quit. True every slot on the board is filled, 2600 Athlon AMD, XP Pro, Albatron 5800 fxUltra, Pinnacle TV card, 1 Meg Legend pc 2100, Firwire, from card reader (below) floppy disc and usb for digicam. I cut 3 nice holes in the case with a hole saw and couple extra fans. I'm one of those who hated this board when I first got it, I grudgingly admit now it's bloody good, back to fixing my finicky top end (so - called) ASUS pcs .
My girlfriend picked the ECS 3 years ago (with no knowledge) she said it looked *Pretty* !! Does anyone know a better AGP 4X that will fit this ECS, to keep g/f happy please?

I cannot see the blank spaces to fill in on the contact page here: http://millcroftfarms.com/contact/
How do I fix that?
Thank you
Also I am having the same problem with the map as someone else. I have the dimensions of 425 x 150 but it is still showing up way to big.
Any ideas? I feel silly asking since I was the one who solved the problem the last time "SIGH"
Solved the first question just by editing the background color a bit. But no matter what I do to the map settings, it is still big :-(

Let me tell you something important -- some men may not be build for the committed, loving, devoted relationship.
When looking for a man, make sure to look for his ability to not just love you, but love those around him. His kindness to strangers, homeless, the taxi cab driver will reflect what is truly happening inside.
It is important to not just look for someone who is crazy about you , but also knows how to treat his sister, mother, colleagues, and neighbors in a caring manner.
Although some women find it entertaining and challenging to date a "strong" man who takes control who commands the room, and demands respect -- overtime his strength if he doesn't have a soft interior can lead to a painful and difficult future together.
His actions today predict his future actions.

MEGALO MANIAC can land this on his Kempton debut while Rosie Cross and Moverra can also show up well in what is a poor contest. The Richard Fahey-trained selection was good enough to win off a mark of 62 a year ago and has now slipped down to just 50. He went well in defeat at Catterick last time and in context he is in good heart, so as one who enjoys the polytrack we'll side with him. Rosie Cross is not in bad nick and represents a yard that has produced a few winners this year, so she is not ruled out though this might just stretch her reserves of stamina too far. Moverra is certainly capable enough from this current mark and over this trip. He is visored for the first time but he is not red hot at present so we will oppose. Empire Dancer is another to have won off a fair bit higher and acts on the surface, so he can get involved while Razzano has trip and surface to suit and even with only selling form on the board lately she might still be there come the shake-up.
Moverra (IRE) 14-1 (8-11) Held up in touch, one pace from over 1f out, 6th of 14, 7l behind Chin Wag (9-0) at Ayr 1m hcp (6) gf in Jun.

Megalo Maniac 9-1 (8-8) Prominent, driven to lead over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, kept on same pace, 2nd of 14, 4l behind Keys of Cyprus (9-3) at Catterick 7f hcp 0-60 (6) gs in Aug.
Razzano (IRE) 11-2co-fav (8-3) Took keen hold, chased leaders, came to outside in straight, hung left 2f out and soon weakened, 8th of 14, 10l behind Seneschal (9-6) at Brighton 7f sll (6) gs in Aug.
Dr Synn 12-1 (8-7) Chased leaders, ridden 2f out, soon weakened, 8th of 13, 4 1/2l behind Batchworth Blaise (8-0) at Goodwood 7f hcp 0-70 (5) gs in Aug.

Using a very good facial cleanser product is step one towards handling your skin. The age reversing creams and the skin lotions that you simply affect the skin will be of no use if you do not cleanse the skin correctly to start with. Let me tell you why. acne face wash
Why cleansers?
Each day, your skin is open to unpleasant weather and various enviromentally friendly air-borne pollutants. This will make your skin layer dry. To make up, your skin secretes lots of natural oils. The mixture of excess natural oils, grime and dirt, and dead skin cells can make your epidermis an oily clutter. Unless you very clear this wreck, the face area creams that you utilize will struggle to penetrate your skin layer seriously and nourish your skin layer cells. This is why you need to use skin skin cleansers. face wash acne
Why not soap Most people use detergent to clean their deal with. When you are one of them, read the next couple of phrases meticulously. You will be making a major oversight. Detergent tends to free of moisture your skin. When your skin gets to be as well dried out, it will become flaky, scratchy, and boring. Additionally, it begins establishing breaks whereby unwanted organisms can enter and cause bacterial infections. Cleansers, unlike cleansing soap, purify your epidermis delicately with out taking off the crucial humidity. So, it is a great idea to protect yourself from cleansing soap entirely and employ a mild facial cleanser cream.
Which kind of soaps? natural acne face wash
Most cleaning agents nowadays include synthetic chemicals like parabens that may be quite bad for your epidermis. So, you need to go for organic items that are free of charge of the hazardous chemicals. Search for goods that have normal elements that provide capability to cleanse a persons pores and skin with out so that it is way too dried up. christmas gifts
What exactly are these elements Kaolin can be a organic compound which is recognized for its purifying properties. It is actually extracted from a special form of clay seen in New Zealand. It improves flow, cures inflammation, spots, and acne breakouts, and cleanses your skin lightly. So, ensure you pick face cleaning agents that contain Kaolin. Some other substances you ought to try to find involve cynergy TK, shea butter, productive manuka honey, and macadamia essential oil. These elements detox the skin, replenish your skin layer tissues, opposite getting older, and make your epidermis seem gentler and young.

The last thing Garrett, Duke of Calton, expects to find while tracking his sworn enemy is the delectable, mysterious Kate. This beautiful servant girl rouses a longing the battle-scarred ex-soldier had never hoped to feel again. But when she turns out to be the sister of the man he seeks, he's convinced he's been betrayed.
Kate knows her duty to her family, yet how can she ignore Garrett's powerful pull on her heart? Or the heady temptation of his stolen-and sizzling-kisses? Scandal has followed the duke since the war. Now the greatest shock of all is on its way-the one that can separate Garrett and Kate forever.

Anthony Galea
July 11, 2011 by staff
Anthony Galea, Tiger Woods is making an announcement Monday at 11 am Eastern on the Golf Channel. Speculation about what Tiger runs is advertised on the web. What are the chances?
Will close for the year? Golf Tiger will retire? The name of Tiger Woods' emerged in court when Dr. Anthony Galea former admitted smuggling human growth hormone in the United States. This is not to say that Tiger or the name of other athletes were given HGH just had professional athletes such as patients. Maybe Tiger will address this morning.
The answer will probably be Tiger time again from golf to get healthy enough to play well enough to compete in the big leagues again. In Tigre website states that "due to left leg injuries that have not healed completely, lost the British Open 2011 and not return until you are 100 percent healthy."

Hey there...
I have been looking at the boards a bit for restaurant reco's for El Segundo the Manhattan Beach area and it seems that most of the places that are mentioned are either dinner only or are a little casual.
Are there any tasty lunch spots in the area that have a slightly higher price point? Nothing too crazy $20-30 per entree, say?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

To upgrade follow the steps in your website's http://mybaseurl/upgrader.php script. You will need to copy the URL of the attached TAR file as one of these steps ("3: Upload an upgrade TAR for extraction").
» alternatively (but not recommended), you can manually upload the files inside the attached TAR file over existing files (7-zip is just one of many tools for tar files). This is not recommended because it will bypass the upgraders addon-aware extraction algorithm and potentially cause problems.
