*UPDATE EX-employee responds: Auto Rescue Denver
off BS they dont believe in time of. all that diane the main owner cares about is her calls and her money she treats you
like your the scum on her shoe she has no clue of respect on the other hand greg is a very respectful man and person he knows how to treat his employees some of the dispatchers they have listen better then others some are great others i would not want to work with again as long as i lived.
they pay there employess like crap we get paid 10.00 for lock outs jump starts and tire changes and 15 to 10 on fuel calls so fair warning future employees of this company we be warned. seem awsome until you have something happen they its all about them and there money and there calls. if you get hurt doing this job good luck trying to get any compensation
they will screw you out of it faster then you can blink. there is a reason why a company like this has NO Better Business Bureau credability what so ever. ow yea and when they say you will get your checks every saturday i hope you know
what time your mail man comes other wise your screwed and if you think you can have a family or a life with this company you might as well forget it. if you go to look at there credability with the BBB they tell you to call the CO state department of labor tells you what kind of company this is. better prey your never sick or are told by doctors to not do something for this company becuase they will screw you out of time and money and destroy your vehicle working for them.
Hiring Roadside Technicians MUST LIVE IN the area posted. Hiring Multiple Drivers.
We provide four services. Jump Start, Fuel Delivery, Tire Change, and Unlocks.
No Experience Required. Need to know how to just start a vehicle, and change a tire. Training Provided for lockouts.
Equipment Requirements: Jack, Socket Set, Breaker Bar, Gas Can, Cell Phone, Vehicle year 2000 or Newer(Small SUV or Truck).
Info Requirements(Please send this info to our email if you are serious about the position):
Name, Phone # where you can be reached, Zip Code that you Live In.
Location: Downtown Denver Area
Compensation: Earn $300 to $700 Weekly ( if you want to see this much money you better run your butt off every single day you work for them its the worlds biggest lie.)
This is a contract job.
Here is proof of this companys reputation In California tells you how big of a rip off they are.
Inman's Auto Rescue, AKA 'Auto Rescue' is a contract provider of roadside assistance. They are a Texas Corporation
that has multiple dummy companies spread around the country. On of these is, "Auto Rescue of San Francisco LLC", which gives a physical address to the city that is actually just a mailbox service . This is illegal. They have no fictitious name
filing in they counties where they operate, such as San Francisco, San Mateo,Alameda, Contra-Costa, etc. San Francisco fictitious name #0300273-00 filed 1/31/07 is not the same company, but is a shop that went out of business.
Inman's Auto Rescue has not filed with the CA Secretary of State as an Out-Of-State corporation doing business in CA.
Their individual drivers are independent contractors who refuse to disclose if they have the required local business licenses. None of their vehicles have a phone number or required markings. These drivers do not bother to carry the required equipment or lighting on their vehicles. Most don't have the required commercial plates (all numbers except for one letter).
Many have out-of state plates to avoid paying registration fees and compliance with our state's environmental laws.
The corporation survives by underbidding contracts and then underpaying the drivers. Many drivers who quit are not paid their final pay.
These guys will demand that you sign a waiver before theytouch your car and will not pay if they cause damage due to their lack oftraining and negligence. If you have a flat and your wheels are not stock, they are likely to just drive off and leave
you stranded. If one of these people manage to show up, please don't let them touch your car until you have seen that they are in a uniform, that their vehicle has CA commercial plates, and that they show you proof that they are a licensed business with $300,000 insurance.
If not, please feel free to report them to your insurance company and the CA Highway Patrol.
I would suggest that if you have a flat tire, dead, battery, are locked out or out of fuel, that you tell your provider to send anyone else!

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
Auto Rescue Denver
AUTHOR: RS - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, February 12, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, February 12, 2013
The issues with this employer that I encountered were the following:
Training - training really didn't exist. I drove around with one employee for 4 hours and after that period of time I was considered "fully trained".
Money up front / Removed from your check - Auto Rescue Denver will charge you for equipment that they provide you. You do get to keep some of this equipment. You are charged $200 for your battery jump box and some other misc. items such as a roof light. Your are also charged an addition fee per check for your phone service (nextel dispatch phone) and paperwork fee. You have to pay your gas, cell phone (you need to call clients) and addtional equipment such as a jack, air compressor, socket set, lug wrench, gloves, etc.
Auto Rescue Denver does expect you to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You may ask for time off (you're an independent contractor so they can't really do anything about you taking time off other then making you feel bad about it). All that they ask is that you give them 48 hours notice. You may also call dispatch and tell them to take you off the clock for an hour if something pops up. The issues with the work time requirements is that you never know how many calls you will receive on any given day. You are paid $10.50 per call and $5.00 per GOA (Gone on arrival). You are only supposed to receive calls that are 15 miles from your zip code. On occasion I have put close to 25 miles on my vehicle to respond to a call.
You will also receive tips, but you can not depend on these. All my pay checks showed up regularly, every Saturday. I would say my standard check was $350 a week. Considering the work, the pay wasn't too bad.
Here are the issues you will encounter if you choose to work for Auto Rescue Denver. Dispatch and Customer issues - unfortunately dispatch won't send you the correct information. You end up looking for the customer and speaking to the customer yourself. Some times the customer can't give you proper directions or assist you and sometimes you will have difficulty understanding the customer. Some dispatchers are very helpfull and understanding. Some other dispatchers are not exactly pleasent. On many occasions I was woke up from bed at 1:00am and notified that I needed to "hurry" to a call. Dispatch would then ask multiple times "how long do you think it will be until you're there". You will also get this when you have been sent multiple calls. It seems like there is a lack of communication at times.
I have also encoutered issues where 2 calls came in at one time. I then drove 9 miles to do call number one, only to have to turn around and drive 9 miles back to exactly where I was to work the 2nd call. Since it's your vehicle and gas, there doesn't seem to be much consideration for the miles and gas that you are using in your personal vehicle. I have been sent to calls that were 20 miles away only to be told that the call was a "GOA". On these occasions I actually lost money reporting to a call. If you figure out the amount of time you spend in your vehicle and amount of time it takes to do most calls you end up doing about a call an hour. So, you basically make $10.50 an hour working for Auto Rescue Denver.
Another odd thing that I encountered working for Auto Rescue Denver was that I never once met my "boss", the owner or anyone really in the company. You are truly on your own when you work for Auto Rescue Denver. I never knew any of the names of the dispatchers. The only person I was ever in contact with was the guy that picked up paperwork every 2 weeks. If I truly broke down the amount of money I made working for Auto Rescue Denver in one month I would say that I cleared $1500.00. I usually had $300 in gas that I used. I would say that on most days I would have my first call at 7:00am and would have a total of 4 by noon. I would then have about 2 calls between the hours of 12:00 and 5:00pm. On average you receive about 3 calls in the evening after 5:00pm. I would say you average about 9 calls a day and put about 100 miles on your vehicle.
It's hard to have any type of life working for Auto Rescue Denver since you're technically always on call. If you are looking for work and want to start right away they are a good company to work for. Considering the time that you put into it and if you already own the bulk of the equipment that you'll use you can make some good money. The biggest issue I truly encountered were the days that I only received 2 or 3 calls. On these days I more or less sat around at my home. Since you're on call you can't go out and get a second job or go out and get into anything to make some additional money. Considering that you're only paid by call there's really no way to know how much you'll make per check, per week and that unfortunately is the biggest issue.

Most often when we talk about the wage gap, we're discussing the difference in pay between men and women who are doing essentially the same job and who have virtually the same skill set. However, the wage gap increases when race, sexuality and other factors are brought into the mix.
First, let's start with the basics. The wage gap, contrary to the belief of many, does exist. The idea that it doesn't may be due to a misconception that unequal pay for people of different backgrounds is illegal. It isn't. Although, many unions do have wage equity guarantees for members.
The Future Of Female-dominated Occupations, a book by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, revealed that for years, fields dominated by women have not only been perceived as easier, but also often have a lower salary. Even fields that were once dominated by men but, over time, became more women dominated experienced decreases in salary. A 2014 survey by the American Association of University Women found that women are paid 21 per cent less than men in the United States. Black women are paid 36 per cent less than those same men, a full 15 per cent less than women who are white. According to Statistics Canada, black people of all genders experience a 10 to 15 per cent wage gap compared to white people.
The wage gap Indigenous Canadians face has been a huge problem for a long time. The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives states that based on their research, without the help of the government, it would take about 63 years to eliminate the wage gap that Indigenous people in Canada face, based on the documented progress in the past.–
A 2013 study titled Sexual Orientations and Gender Typicality of the Occupation in Young Adulthood found that gay men and women pursue careers that, stereotypically, the opposite gender would hold. For example, gay men are less likely to work in engineering or science, while lesbians are less likely to work in retail. The same study found that gay people often end up in fields where the wage gap is the largest. This finding causes a lot of debate on whether the wage gap is actually based on bias. But with other studies showing that gay men receive fewer interviews and job offers than straight men, perhaps gay men are pursuing jobs with the largest wage gap because it's often, but definitely not always, the only jobs they are offered.
A 2015 study by Gender and Society found that gay men with partners earn five per cent less than straight men with partners.
While lesbians do still earn less than heterosexual men, a new study by the University of Melbourne and San DiegoState University found that lesbians earn 33 per cent more than heterosexual women. Nick Drydakis, co-author of the study, suggests that a factor in this wage gap is due to the theory that lesbians are more career oriented. The same study found that a lower percentage of lesbians have children in comparison to heterosexual women. This may be a big factor in why employers are more likely to promote lesbians, as they are less likely to leave work to raise children. This gap is likely more due to motherhood than it is to sexuality.
People who are transgender face different forms of wage change in the workforce. A study by the B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis and Policy, based on collected data from cis and trans people, found that transgender women often found their wages decrease by nearly one-third post transition, while transgender men found their wages increase slightly. The same study states that it's likely that the wage gap may be mainly due to sexism, rather thantransphobia, although transphobia is still likely a factor.
A 2012 survey by The National Centre for Transgender Equality involving more than 6,000 transgender individuals found that 47 per cent of survey partici- pants said they had faced some form of discrimination at work—whether it wasbeing fired, not hired or denied a promotion—due to being trans or genderqueer.
In order to eliminate the wage gap, we need to build awareness of it in all forms. True equality cannot become a reality until the discrimination and bias that cause the wage gap are brought to light. It's quite common for people to think there is nothing they can do to help end discrimination in the workforce; however it's the communities that stand together whose voices will be heard.
–Faith Ginter is 19. They were born and raised in Winnipeg, Man., and identify as gender neutral. Their goal is to pursue a career in journalism and/ or illustration.
CANADIAN WOMEN'S FOUNDATION has recommendations for taking action to close the wage gap. Here are a few:
- Encourage girls to enter high-wage occupations and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers.
- Advocate for improved workplace policies, such as child care and family leave.
- Recognize and fight gender stereotypes in the workplace.

Rev Stan's StOlivier theatre awards for 2016
It was a year in which I trod the boards with Freddie Fox, Ruth Wilson threw flowers at me and Sam Cooke sang to me but these are mere trifles in a stellar year for theatre. So forget expert panels and public votes these are the only awards in theatre land that matter...
Best kiss This goes to Sam Marks and David Tennant in Richard II at the Barbican for a long, lingering kiss that spoke a thousand words. Still makes me emotional thinking about it.
Calamine lotion award During Bug at Found 111 one of the characters claims they can see insects on their skin and are constantly scratching and itching invisible bites. It was infectious, really made my skin crawl.
Stage blood award I'm wondering if Jamie Lloyd has Ben Nye shares because he didn't just have bloody wounds, he had Kit Harington's Dr Faustus take a shower in blood (in white pants for added effect).
David Attenborough award I'm giving this jointly to the Tamaskan dog which did a rather splendid job playing a wolf in The Crucible at the Walter Kerr Theatre and the real live fox which played...a fox in Unreachable Royal Court.
Non-animal 'ah' award This goes to Yerma for having a baby cameo. Don't think anyone in the audience heard a word that was being spoken as Billie Piper bounced the little cutie on her hip.
Suffering for art award As someone who feels the cold, I had massive sympathy and respect for Michael Socha and Tamla Kari in This Is Living as they performed the whole play in an inch depth of water - not just walking and standing but sitting and lying in it so they were sodden throughout.

Ever since Google's Hummingbird update was announced last month it caused quite a stir. Let me just cite one website where someone claimed that the Hummingbird update will have "significant consequences for content writing and general SEO, apparently affecting around 90% of searches." (Seen here). I want to take this opportunity to clear up this myth about the recent Google update.
Google's Hummingbird is one more step in Google's attempt to better understand what people are in fact searching for online. One of the changes of this latest update is that the phrases and keywords typed in Google will become less important since the algorithm in Hummingbird is about finding the true meaning and intent of what people use when they use a search engine. This is what Google refers to as "conversational Search". One could also say that the Hummingbird update means that they are now becoming smarter and more flexible in finding and displaying relevant content.
What does Hummingbird Mean for Content Writers?
Will Writers have to Rethink their Entire Strategy Now?
In contrast to the above-mentioned myth that the Hummingbird update will be a significant change, nothing can be further from the truth. Reality is that content writers should welcome the Hummingbird update since it is very supporting for engaging and helpful content. After the previous Google algorithm updates it should have already become clear for many content creators that factors such as keyword density and similar nonsense are not important any longer. Hummingbird is just one more step in the same direction where Google aims to make its search engine smarter in trying to understand more natural conversational patterns people use when they type in a search engine.
This will become even more important with the increasing number of mobile devices like iPads or iPhones where natural speech will soon replace input from a keyboard.People will not type in keywords and phrases any longer but will instead engage into a conversation with the search engine that may pretty much resemble natural speech.
Hummingbird is the Google algorithm that makes strict phrases and keywords even less important. Hummingbird makes it possible that the search engine now gets an idea about the meaning and relevancy of content in a more natural way, away from the concept of phrases and keywords. For content writers those are indeed good times.
Will I have to change my writing style after the Hummingbird update?
Google's Hummingbird update will not have a dramatic impact if you are already a good writer, means you're already aware that you're not writing for the search engines but aim to deliver great and engaging content for your audience.
Then again, there is one change that should be important to keep in mind: With the improved search algorithm the search engine can now understand more complex searches. And with longer and more complex searches comes an increased demand for more targeted and more specialized content!
As a result of this you may want to consider two create more specialized and targeted content as opposed to writing too broad and too general. A too broad piece of content will hardly be of use for those who look for a solution for a particular problem. For example, rather than writing a general and more or less useless piece about gardening you could write a piece about how to make an organic vegetable garden. You may get even more specific writing about how to grow organic tomatoes in a green house. Those are just examples but I'm sure you see where I'm going with this.
More specialized and more targeted searches are what Google's Hummingbird is all about where content creation is concerned: Write good content that is helpful and engaging and Google's Hummingbird is your friend.

The Skylanders in 2011 impressively demonstrated how to successfully coupled a mix of physical toys and digital game content and thus not only excited children. Since then a lot has changed, Nintendo and Disney moved to the same segment, but the "Toys-to-life" -Sparte are now more ago than fixed Sammelfiguren that communicate with a console. We provide an overview of new technologies in the playroom.
Built-up robotics technology, App Support and Artificial Intelligence are just three key concepts that integrate producers increasingly common in new toys. With Spheros BB-8, Anki Overdrive or the robotic dinosaur Miposaur there already this year some promising toys that can not only score points by far the young target audience.
Earlier this year reported Activision three billion US dollar sales with the multiplatform game Skylanders. As a hybrid of video game and physical Sammelfiguren thus already walked 2011 concept that a manual to print money equaled. Lured with starter packets, it is primarily the additional packages that enable long time repeatedly buyer. With the amiibos managed Nintendo – as always a couple of years too late – a similar coup. Disney moved previously by having Disney Infinity. The concept of all these collectible figurines is quite simple, the actual benefit quite clear. Especially when it comes Nintendo seem especially likely to include the aspect of collecting as a truly meaningful, playful integration. In Skylanders and Disney Infinity, the pawns are placed on a sort of portal and wake up in the game to life. The Nintendo amiibos other hand, can be activated via a button on the WiiU controller or the Nintendo 3DS. Unlike the characters of Disney and Activision there for amiibos but no fixed video games – they are much more integrated into many Nintendo titles. If, for example in Yoshi's Woolly World a amiibo of Mario on the button looks the otherwise green dinosaur like the famous plumber from Nintendo.
droids and robotics racecars
more demanding in a direction to go now other manufacturers, use the actual robotics technology and artificial intelligence, and have further developed compared to very early products such as the robotic dog AIBO by Sony, strong. This was introduced in 1999 and at that time cost a small fortune. Am currently best known is certainly the BB-8, which in the context of the launch of Star Wars: Episode VII – The awakening of the power is to be sold. Manufacturer Sphero developed the little robot, which is controlled by users with a matching smartphone app. Since the beginning of September to buy, has the small ball-droid on three key modes: Patrol mode he explored on your own its surroundings, bangs against furniture and walls, but can use the corresponding app create a map of the area and this in future exploring Refetch. So it goes at least the obstacles out of the way, with whom he still collided at the first time. In Drive mode, you take on itself the control of BB-8 and tried to work to maneuver the robot through the hazard-free apartment. The whole thing works here even with voice control. In the spirit of the films, you can record hologram messages in a third mode and let these (so far only on the app) to play.
Similar to BB-8 also operate the racing cars from Anki. The vehicles in Anki Overdrive can be controlled by the player, but can also go independently and provide, depending on the difficulty, challenging opponents are. Using individual track parts can be built complex, individual routes. The so-called supercars go completely autonomously each route at least one lap down – on your smartphone, you can follow the progress of this scanning process in real time. But as with BB-8 itself no sensors are installed in the car that build the track and "Remember", but the corresponding app that constantly communicates either via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi with the cars. The vehicles are equipped with a floor-mounted camera that scan 500 times the distance per second and are thus informed at all times about their current position. There is code that is read by the cars on each branch. Using artificial intelligence make the vehicles within seconds decisions, attack their competition or behave defensively. Anki has thereby a stronger focus on video game elements and showered after each race experience points, rewards and digital upgrades for the players.
Smartphone as a central control and operating unit
In all featured toys, act the use of robotics and artificial intelligence, the smart phone is an integral part of the use. Although there are toys that can also be controlled via hand movements or external add-on products (such as the Miposaur from WowWee) – the smartphone as a central control and communication element nevertheless always present and often clearer than gestures. In addition, it is of course also has practical reasons for using a smartphone so – Toy manufacturers can outsource many complex calculations on an app for the smartphone and have to ensure that product and app easily communicate with each other. The communication between devices is not new. "Internet of Things" as a generic term for the vision of continuously interconnected and communicating devices, for several years describes a major innovation in the way in which you can network products from all areas together
Conclusion:. Conquered Robotics the kids – and also the hobby room
still a few years ago unthinkable, but by the rapid technological progress, the toys of the future celebrating gradually their debut in children's and living rooms. However, it raises the question of how sustainable the now featured physical toys really are. Skylanders and Co. so much that they offer as a video game potentially hours of entertainment – the collection figures themselves, however, are fairly rigid. Both Anki overdrive and BB-8 are more versatile by the associated app. The different game modes offer more than half an hour of fun. The Miposaur ensures at least by different control options (gestures, trackball and app) for different playing styles. The featured toys in this case represent only the status quo of current technical feasibility. It is assumed that new ambitious projects are tackled each year, the advance also this segment ever and can be complex. That such a "toy" is not just something for children, but also for tech-savvy adult, goes without saying.never miss? Then GIGA Android follow on Facebook, Google+ or Twitter!

Northbridge temps 90c-is that bad?
Hey guys,
I was using HWmonitor to monitor psu load and temps. Looking at the attachment (attached) my core 1 and core 2 are around 40c at load ( TMPIN0 and TMPIN1, confirmed when entering bios after restart so cpu is still hot)
But TMPIN2 is at 85c but 90c load, I am sure this is the Northbridge as when i touch the heatsink after shutdown its REALLY hot.
My northbridge right now is undervoltaged as well as my cpu...
Any help is greatly appreciated with a dose of rep :P
happy solving!
PS- cant reapply thermal paste to northbride those darn clips are fixed tightly.
|My System Specs
|28 Dec 2012
If i were you I would contact the Manufactuer
Those temps can't be right and if it is that hot something is defective
max temps i seen on board and cpu socket were 50c at best you are exceeding it by almost 40+c nothing good about those numbers

That cant be right, have you tried to get your hand close to it, but not touching it, does it actualy seem that hot?
|My System Specs
|28 Dec 2012
Ouch! That is hot. And you are quite right to be concerned, as that is uncomfortably hot. I note that you only have an 80mm fan for your case cooling, and I think that this is probably insufficient. If you can clean any dust/detritus from the heatsink fins and improve the cooling, you might be better. Temporarily remove the side panel to allow better air circulation.
What I would do is restore everything back to default settings (clockspeeds/voltages), power down to allow the system to cool down fully (might take some time, given those temperatures) and then power back on. Don't run any programs except for HWMonitor and let it idle. How are the temps, particularly TMPIN2, reading over time? What does it show at startup, after 5 mins, and after 10 mins ?
|My System Specs
|28 Dec 2012
Hi all,
I should be able to cover everything in this post, i am using my laptop,
firstly: putting my hand on the northbridge heatsink its boiling hot, its the hottest thing to touch in there even beating my radeon card. cpu heatsink is cool to the touch,
secondly, my can can only accomodate 3 fans all 80mm only. I have a fan blowing air in at the front and its pulling more air in than the 80mm fan at the back can blow out (i heard that is the best thing to do)
thirdly, I reset the voltages in bios to default and at idle they were the same 80c~ for NB and 50c~ for cpu (voltage increased to normal so hotter??? i load furmark for load and the temps actually went across 95 for NB and 60c for CPU which is not overclocked.
fourthly, i used my pliers to remove the heatsink and there is a good ammount of thermal paste on it, with silver particles.(guessing ac5?)
the NB shared an IGP the HD 3200, however i use a discrete card so it should not be in use, and its disabled in bios...
I think i covered everything
|My System Specs
|28 Dec 2012
you have to ring and see what they got for ya, it is incredibly hot, has it always been like this?

Now that you've got the heatsink off, make sure that you carefully clean off all the old TIM from both it and the chip itself. Reapply paste and resit the heatsink (after cleaning it out) in exactly the same way as you would with a CPU.
I would also address your cooling. Does the exhausted air feel cool, warm, or hot? Having more air entering the case than leaving is not necessarily a good thing, as my opinion is that it should be balanced. Fans should not be used to force air; rather they should be used to assist the natural flow of air through the case. A simple analogy to the arrangement you have, where you have more air going in than out, is a simple bicycle pump. If you hold the pump at the bottom end where the hose normally attaches (but not blocking the hole) and pump away, you will notice that it remains relatively cool. Now block the hole with your thumb and pump again. Notice how it starts to warm up quite quickly. The same thing also happens to PCs if the cooling system doesn't function effectively.

Moyes offers Saha incentive
David Moyes is in no rush to make a decision on a new contract for Louis Saha, but expects the Everton striker to improve in the New Year.
Last Updated: 26/12/11 10:49am
David Moyes is in no rush to make a decision on a new contract for Louis Saha, but expects the Everton striker to put in an improved showing in the second half of the season.
Saha, who joined the Toffees in 2008, is out of contract at the end of the campaign and has scored just twice in 14 appearances this term.
The 33-year-old is the only senior striker on Everton's books and Moyes expects the Frenchman to improve in the hope of either earning a new deal at Goodison Park or impressing another club.
"At the turn of the year Louis had a good run, where he scored a few goals," said the Everton manager.
"His game is not all about goals though, he is someone who can link play up as well, that has always been his game. So we wouldn't necessarily judge him on his goals alone.
Open minded
"But he is in the last year of his contract, and that is something we will look at further down the line.
"We tend to wait, with respect to the older boys, until later on before we offer contracts. We don't throw contracts at people just because of their age.
"But the boys know how it works. If people perform, the chairman always rewards them here.
"I do expect Louis to do it in the second half of the season, if not for us, to prove himself to someone else.
"I have always thought that players play better in the last year of their contract, because they are either proving it to their current employers or to any new suitors. That's how I have seen it in my time.
"I am open minded on his future. We will not say too much about it now, and to be honest I have not given it an awful lot of thought.
"There is an incentive there, but there is an incentive for anybody. It is up to Louis to show he is up to it."

Now these acne I have are the annoying kind. They're the ones that give a bump on your face and just stay there. I have tons of them on my forehead (which I never get acne on my forehead and never ever on my cheeks). I started breaking out on my right cheek as well. All my family and relatives started noticing the change in my skin and nothing makes you more insecure than when someone points out how much acne you have. It's pretty sad.
Above is a photo of all the skincare products I bought throughout the months/years. Now I know what you are going to say next--WELL THE REASON WHY SHE BROKE OUT IS BECAUSE SHE'S USING TOO MANY PRODUCTS--I did not start using different products until I started breaking out. Sometimes I used Clearasil Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub in the shower but before my major break out I NEVER used all these skincare products (some of these item I bought be still haven't tried yet). Now maybe I did started overusing skincare products on my face but there were times I didn't use anything at all. Nothing seemed to help. Some days were better than others but still my skin was not the way it use to be. I miss it so much.
The break down of all my skincare products.
Make-Up Remover Cloth
Face Scrubs
Other Skincare Products
NOTE: Some of these products were helpful, but not to my satisfaction. Just because it did not work for me does not mean it will not work for you. I just want you all to know that I'm not saying I wouldn't recommend these skincare products. I just wanted you guys to see all the things I do just for clear skin. I used so much money. All the money I spent on these products I could have just gone to a dermatologist! :P
Then after talkig to my sister Patt, watching Jen/FromHeadToToe on YouTube about her skincare routine, and reading Elise's acne blog post, I decided it was time to see a dermatologist.
I finally made an appointment and met with a dermatologist last week Tuesday. Here is what I received from them.
Sheets of paper explaining my medication
I got three prescribed medications and he also gave me trial size cleansers and moisturizer that I could use as needed.
My Morning Routine
Benzoyl Peroxide Creamy Wash 4%--leave on face for only 10 seconds.
Doxycycline--an antibiotic medication *My dermatologist gave me a choice of taking this antibiotic or not to. He said taking this antibiotic would work faster than the topical medication. I was a little iffy about the antibiotic because I learned in class that you shouldn't abuse antibiotics. Because I was in desperate need for a clear beautiful skin, I thought I would have to try it. Let me know what you think. Do you think taking an antibiotic for acne medication is good or bad? Have you taken any antibiotic for acne? Does it work? I would love to hear your opinions.
My Night Routine
Cetaphil, Cerave, or Purpose--for a mild face wash
Tretinoin Cream--for topical use
I noticed that my skin is getting better but I know it will take a couple of weeks to see the full effect. I'm really glad I went to a dermatologist because they are doctors and they know what is right for your skin. What works for you may not work for me. We all have different skin types.
My Tips
- Don't use too many skincare products for your skin
- Keep the same skincare product routine for about a month
- Wash your makeup off at night (something I rarely did until I started breaking out)
- Drink lots of water a day to keep your body hydrated
- If you feel your acne problem is not getting any better (just getting worse), I really recommend you to see a dermatologist.
- Wash your makeup brushes
- Buy trial size skincare products before buying a full big bottle. Try a small one out to see if it works for your skin first. Don't waste your money like I did.
- Don't pick your acne (something I always do too) because it will cause scars
- Don't touch your face so much--think of all the things your fingers touch and to get it on your face.
- Be confident--know that things will get better soon. :)
Now I will be boxing all my skincare products and storing it away. I can't wait to have clear, beautiful skin!!!
Hope This Was Helpful!

An End, A Beginning
I doubt anyone has ever felt such a feeling of accomplishment mixed with trepidation upon entering Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It was one of a few scheduled stops we've needed to aim for and symbolized an end of sorts. After Iowa our next and only other planned stop is Alaska, our ultimate destination, the North to balance our South. We hadn't planned on it, but Iowa also became a gateway to Winter. The rain that had followed us across Kansas gave way to blue skies and an icy wind.
My cousin Neil and Shannon, his bride (who hails from Cedar Rapids, hence the destination wedding), had planned a lovely mid-fall wedding set amidst an explosion of flaming red Iowa foliage. They'd found a lovely winery overlooking farmland and picturesque stands of oak. The guest list comprised a small family reunion. Not only were most of our L.A. relatives there (including cousin Troy, a favorite recurring character/heartthrob for avid followers of this blog) but my Mother was too, having arrived several days early from Seattle in order to warm up the crowd. She'd apparently been trying for days to get kicked out of the Midwest by making off-color jokes to the bridal party as they dashed about in preparation.
Heat lamps were set up about the outdoor ceremony like the spindly columns of a cathedral. Guests dressed in shiny black shoes and down parkas were drawn to them like moths. Shannon looked beautiful as she read her vows to my ever smiling cousin, tall and lean in his black suit and tie. Neither seemed to be affected by the cold, distracted as they were by the engagement at hand. Like most of the people older than Neil in attendance, I reflected on the pudgy faced child I'd first met decades ago and marveled at the lanky young husband he was about to become. Like the rest of the people thinking the same thing, I felt old, and tried to scoot closer to the heat lamp in order to ward off a chill.
It was a rather secular wedding even though like their late mother, my Aunt Ellen, my cousins are Jewish. A nod to the chosen people came in the form of 'the breaking of the glass' during which more than a few Midwesterners looked around in confusion. I imagined they were wondering if they should start busting up the dinnerware as well, out of respect.
The reception was filled with delicious food, abundant alcohol and lots of dancing. At some point after the crowd was fairly well into their cups, Hava Nagila began and Neil was hoisted onto a chair. Hands were clasped but instead of circling the groom a melee ensued in which people ran in every direction, the music becoming ever more frenetic and exotic sounding. Trains of confused dancers ran with linked hands only to collide with other, longer trains, sending everyone spinning across the floor amidst shouts and hoots of laughter.
We caught up with my cousins when we could, but they were the nucleus of the party while we were merely in orbit. Troy was entertaining a number of admirers, having suddenly been voted the most eligible bachelor by the batting eyelids of a dozen guests. We did manage to laugh about the last time we'd all seen each other in Ecuador, a fact made more amazing by the presence of Josh, the fourth big body we'd stuffed into the tiny blue Chevy Spark. We'd last seen Josh as we rolled through a seedy neighborhood in Quito, shoving him out of the car without bothering to stop. He held no grudges though and we all laughed about that day. Speaking of grudges I do wish I'd been able to hand him the trash he'd left in our back seat, but I stopped carrying it around with that purpose in mind weeks ago.
Late in the evening Magda and I gathered as many relatives as we could in a quiet spot in order to call our 96 years young Grandfather with an update of the festivities. It probably sounded like we were calling from the moon, which most people in L.A. would say we were.
As the volume of the music increased, the age limit on the dance floor sank. Magda, my cousin Jeanne and I retreated to nurse our aching feet and our glasses of wine. Jeanne's mother, my aunt C.J., circulated amongst the crowd, spiritedly confirming that she was the oldest person left in the room. We were not far behind. Before long we packed it in, but not before congratulating the happy couple once more. Shannon howled in disgust at our early departure, which I took to be a great compliment and was further convinced she was a perfect addition to our family.

The story of sharks is truly frightening. What's happening to this animal is cruel and unnecessary and will come back to bite us, just not in the way we think.
Tigers, extinct? It's not only possible, it's likely, especially in the many nations that have yet to take action on behalf of this majestic animal.
Maya Lin, known for creating the aesthetically spare and inspiring Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Washington D.C., has produced another powerful tribute designed to prompt a reaction of awe and sober reflection.
In a story that gives new meaning to the phrase 'slow and steady wins the race,' a giant tortoise long thought extinct appears to be still alive on one of the Galapagos Islands.
Scientists have determined that the tortoise subspecies Chelonoidis elephantopus, thought to have disappeared nearly 150 years ago, may roam the northern reaches of the island of Isabela, several miles from the tortoise's native island, Floreana.
Polar bears, penguins, pandas have become symbols of the fight to save wild places around the world and push back global warming.
According to conservationists meeting in Barcelona this week, they have a host of company. A broad assessment of the world's mammals reveals an "extinction crisis" with nearly one-quarter of known mammal species at risk of disappearing forever due to habitat loss, pollution, global warming, over-hunting and food chain erosion.
The study, unveiled at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Conservation Congress, shows that 1,141 (and possibly nearly 2,000) of the world's 5,487 mammals are known to be threatened with extinction.

Mining giant Rio Tinto has made peace with partner Ivanhoe Mines to help develop a copper-gold project in Mongolia and capitalize on price increases predicted for both commodities.
Rio has suspended arbitration against Ivanhoe over the Vancouver-based company's adoption of a poison pill and will provide a financing package to help Ivanhoe develop the $6-billion (U.S.) Oyu Tolgoi project, considered one of the world's largest untapped copper-and-gold deposits.
The Anglo-Australian miner will also take over management of the project to help meet a fast-tracked production target of late 2012 - timing that would capitalize on an expected global copper shortage as demand grows and supply shrinks.
Both copper and gold hit records highs this week, driven by increased demand as investors turn to hard assets as a hedge against falling currencies and rising inflation. Copper in particular is making a comeback as China's appetite for the widely used metal grows, and investors flock to new copper-backed exchange-traded funds set to hit the market this week.
Rio is hoping to take advantage of the expected supply shortage in both gold and copper through the Oyu Tolgoi project. An independent analysis estimates annual production of 544,000 tonnes of copper and 650,000 ounces of gold for the first 10 years of a 59-year mine life.
"[The]agreement reinforces our commitment to the Oyu Tolgoi project, which is a natural fit with our strategy of focusing on low-cost, long-life assets with significant growth potential," said Andrew Harding, chief executive officer of Rio's copper division.
"We are looking forward to bringing Rio Tinto's world-class operating and technical capability to the development of one of the world's greatest copper-gold mines of tomorrow."
The agreement sees Rio offer $1.8-billion in interim financing to help Ivanhoe build the project six months ahead of schedule. Rio will also increase its stake in Ivanhoe to 49 per cent by January, 2012. That is up from an original standstill agreement to buy up to 46 per cent by October, 2011.
For Ivanhoe, the deal addresses a long-standing concern about how it would pay for the project.
Still, Ivanhoe shareholders weren't impressed and drove down the shares by 14.5 per cent on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Wednesday. Analysts said the reaction was likely owing to disappointment that a potential takeover of the company, which is led by well-known mining promoter Robert Friedland, won't come until at least 2012 as a result of the extended standstill agreement.
"People who bought Ivanhoe as a 2011 takeover candidate must strike [it]from the list," said Raymond Goldie, a mining analyst at Salman Partners Inc.
Mr. Friedland has raised billions of dollars from investors over the years and is perhaps best known for helping to create a frenzy around the Voisey's Bay nickel deposit in Labrador, which was eventually sold to Inco in 1996 for $4.3-billion (Canadian).
There was also some concern Wednesday about the $6-billion (U.S.) price tag of the Oyu Tolgoi project. Ivanhoe said the price includes about $1.4-billion already sunk into the project and that the $4.6-billion figure to finish it is consistent with previous forecasts.
Over all, analysts view the agreement as a step forward for the companies and the Oyu Tolgoi project. The agreement "demonstrates that Ivanhoe and Rio Tinto are focused on advancing the project despite the periodic friction between the companies," BMO Nesbitt Burns analyst John Hayes said in a note.
"With Rio Tinto's financing commitments and assuming management, the Oyu Tolgoi project is significantly derisked from a financing, operating and development perspective."
In a statement Wednesday, Mr. Friedland said Rio's decision to suspend arbitration against Ivanhoe for six months provides "potential" for a permanent truce.
Rio launched arbitration in the summer after Ivanhoe adopted a shareholder rights plan, also known as a poison pill, to prevent a creeping takeover of the company. Rio argued the rights plan breached its contractual rights under its agreements with Ivanhoe.
Ivanhoe said Wednesday the arbitration suspension will end immediately if a formal takeover offer is made for the company, or "if either company takes any action that the other reasonably believes prejudices its rights."
Oyu Tolgoi is considered the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold project.
When it begins production in late 2012, it will rank as one of the world's largest copper-gold mines alongside Chile's Escondida and Grasberg in Indonesia.
The project is located in the South Gobi region of Mongolia, approximately 550 kilomeetres south of the capital, Ulan Bator, and 80 km north of the Mongolia-China border.
The mine is 66 per cent owned by Ivanhoe Mines and 34 per cent by the Mongolian government. Ivanhoe signed a long-awaited investment agreement with the Mongolian government in 2009, after six years of negotiations.

Thank-you withabrandnewname for the great cover! Check her out on Tumblr: post/48468890026/once-upon-a-crooked-path-by-dayks trel-complete
A/N: If the opening to this story feels familiar to you, there's a good reason for that. When I wrote "Leaving Storybrooke" last fall I had originally envisioned a much longer story. But I didn't have the time to tackle it, so I re-worked the outline to be significantly shorter. And very different.
But the idea wouldn't leave me alone, so here it is. It's moved slowly (I'm about two months behind where I was hoping to be), however it's mostly complete and the updates will come quickly.
So this will start off very much the same as "Leaving Storybrooke", but will quickly take a different turn. This is what I had in mind originally, so I hope you'll forgive the overlap in this first chapter.
Also, please note that this splits off from the show at the 2012 winter break, after episode 2x9 "Queen of Hearts".
January in Maine. It's been twenty-nine years and Regina still finds herself surprised by the weather.
Their old land had winter to be sure, but something in the magic, or perhaps in the will of the fairies who turned the seasons, must have tempered winter's strength. Snow in that land had fallen softly, mostly at night, covering the ground in gentle waves of brilliant whiteness. Yes the wind blew at times, but it was more likely to bring fairy dust than frostbite.
Here in Storybrooke, on the coast of Maine, winter means extremes. Two days ago it had been well above freezing, with torrents of heavy, stinging rain driven off the ocean and onto land by a relentless, howling wind. Then overnight the temperature had dropped, leaving behind sheets of ice in the streets and walkways. The roads were virtually impossible to drive safely on, and the ice falling from roofs and overhead wires was a hazard to anyone on foot.
And then a blanket of snow had fallen, covering the ice and leaving behind roads even more treacherous than before.
There is something about the January weather in Maine that is strangely appealing. Relentless and unpredictable, Regina glories in the power of nature and the inconveniences it places on others. She herself has no set schedule these days, and so when the boy who used to shovel her driveway and front walk doesn't show, she simply laces up her boots and walks into town.
Earlier today a series of wispy, high clouds had dropped about a quarter inch of dry snow, tiny ice crystals that have gathered in the cracks in the sidewalk and around the bases of buildings, lamp posts, and around the tires of the few scattered vehicles parked out on the streets.
Then sometime in the late afternoon the clouds had moved off, leaving behind a clear night sky.
Regina stands stiffly on the sidewalk across the street from Granny's diner, insignificant under the black heavens above. Her booted feet are placed precariously on the mixture of snow, ice, salt and gravel scattered about the street. If she was still the mayor she would have given her maintenance department an earful. But she's not the mayor. Not anymore.
The air is cold, cold enough to cause an ache in her lungs and so she breathes carefully, shallowly, a warm scarf wound tightly around her neck and ears. Above her the stars shine, bright and crystalline in this small coastal town with so little light pollution.
While the weather may be different in this land, the stars have always been the same. When she'd first arrived Regina had wondered at that, wondered if the stars were the same in all worlds, and it had brought her a measure of comfort, one thing at least that was familiar in this strange new place.
She'd considered asking Jefferson about it once, asking if all lands fell under the same heavens, but she never did ask. The stars have always been her private friends.
Above hew now shines the constellation Orion, the hunter of winter. Two bears, foraging for food. Cassiopeia the queen, whom Regina had despised in person but found much more tolerable after she had been transformed into a series of quiet, cold stars.
And perhaps brightest of all shine the Pleiades, a cluster of light known for granting knowledge, both magical and esoteric. These stars in particular are ones a younger Regina had spent many hours gazing upon, searching for strength and knowledge.
Tonight however her eyes are focused forward, not up, and the Pleiades shine unnoticed above. Across the road, the windows of Granny's are fogged with moisture, the thin film blurring its occupants into blobs of color and composition. Yet there is no mistaking the four figures in the booth nearest the door.
Henry sits with his back to the entrance, his shirt sleeve occasionally brushing against the condensation on the window, leaving behind streaks of water droplets and a clear view of his elbow and side. He's wearing a blue plaid shirt, not one that she picked out for him but one that looks annoyingly like a shirt that David Nolan would wear. Prince Charming. His grandfather.
The very man who is currently sitting across from his grandson wearing a shirt of the same kind.
Beside Henry is a blur of red and blue, blonde hair and brown boots, a garish mash of colors that can only belong to the town's sheriff. And across from the sheriff is an indistinct figure in light, fluffy pink, a nauseating hue that causes Regina's lip to curl involuntarily.
The Charming family, reunited at last.
Studiously ignoring the other three people at the table, Regina focuses solely on her son. Her dark eyes watch him with a hunger she would never show in the light of day. Her baby, her little boy. Not so little anymore, but still hers.
Or at least he was hers...
And she's tried, she's tried so hard. Yes, she's had moments of connection, moments where her son will meet her eyes or ask her a question, or even give her a small smile. Brief moments of sunshine in her otherwise grey life. Because it seems that as soon as a Charming appears, any one of them, her son is gone. He slips from her grasp as if he never truly belonged to her.
And perhaps he never did. There is no blood to bind them. Only years of shared mealtimes. Of changing diapers and bandaging scraped knees. Of holidays and bed times and homework. Clearly it isn't enough. It will never be enough.
For a moment her gaze strays over her son's head to his birth mother. The sheriff is telling a story. Her hands dance broadly enough for Regina to see the gestures through the condensation on the window, and Regina feels a mix of emotions rise in her chest. Frustration and irritation. A tiny, undesirable flash of affection that is quickly squashed by the sense of unfairness, of hurt and anger.
For Emma Swan has won what Regina has lost: Henry. Snow White. A loving father.
If circumstances were different they could have been allies. Both headstrong, she has no doubt that they would both fight to the death to save their son. Except that Emma was the one who had done the saving, while Regina had inadvertently done the poisoning. The lying. The hurting.
The memory stings.
A stray gust of wind picks up some of the tiny ice crystals and whips them into her face, cold and rough on her cheeks. She barely notices.
As she stands in the dirty snow, shivering and alone, she can hear the muffled sound of joyful laughter floating on the winter wind. The Charming family. After twenty-eight years where the only happiness Regina had permitted was her own, the sound now rings painfully in her ears. It echoes in her hollow chest, smothering her heart.
She finds these recent changes alarming, completely out of her control. And she knows that she has lost. Nothing will bring back the way things were. Nothing will bring back her son.
Her mind made up, Regina nods faintly under the stars. She takes one last lingering look at Henry, a blur of blue and white and brown, and then squares her shoulders. She strides carefully through the dark streets, puffs of condensation from her breath trailing behind her to glint in the starlight.
She bypasses her front door and heads straight to the garage where her black Mercedes is waiting. It takes three turns of the key before the engine finally hums to life. The cold of the steering wheel seeps through her leather gloves and she cranks the heat up as high as it will go, as if the engine could somehow warm her frozen soul.
She puts the car in gear and gingerly eases out of the garage, into her snowy driveway. The tires spin momentarily before catching and then she's moving forward, out into the street. She takes a left, her black car prowling quietly through the dark night.
As she drives she finds her mind wandering, thinking back over the past weeks and months.
She thinks of Henry's death and his miraculous, magical return to life. She remembers the empty, panicked feeling when she'd realized that her magic had not returned, and she remembers the moment Emma Swan had laid a hand on her arm, the magic flowing warm and easy between them.
As she remembers this moment, as her thoughts rest on the blonde sheriff, a familiar, aching feeling fills her chest. She thinks of what might have been. What never could have been.
She drives faster, her tires crunching softly on the packed, dirty snow.
She thinks then of Emma and Snow White, lost to another land, her problem neatly solved. And yet not solved, for her son had blamed her for their disappearance and demanded that she get them back. Which she had done, absorbing the magic designed to kill anyone coming through the portal. And what had she gotten for her trouble?
A simple thank-you. And then the cold shoulder as her son had turned his back on her, drawn away with the Charmings. Leaving her behind, yet again, without a thought.
Her fingers tighten on the steering wheel.
On the seat beside her is a map, yellow highlighting marking a route and a destination. A piece of paper with the address of a previously unseen apartment. A bank account number. A thick stack of twenty dollar bills, neatly folded. And a sealed envelope with a list of instructions, written to herself.
She smiles faintly. The pain will soon be over. She will be able to start fresh. No magic. No thoughts of Daniel, dead twice now, once by her mother's hand and once by her own. No curse, no evil queen, no Henry and certainly no Emma Swan. She will be born anew.
Her headlights flash on a sign, glaringly bright in the dark night.
Leaving Storybrooke.
Emma is rifling through an assorted pile of papers when Henry comes bursting into her office. While her father – David, James, or whoever the heck he is – had taken on the title of sheriff in her absence, his focus had clearly been elsewhere. Her office is a mess, which is nothing new, but this time it's a mess not of her own making. She can't find the keys to the cruiser, and she's accumulating a rather alarming stack of unanswered phone messages and requests for assistance.
She sighs at the discovery another unfiled report. Her son's interruption is timely, and very welcome.
The smile, her natural reaction to the sight of her son, falters as she takes in the panicked look on his face. He's gulping for breath, leaning heavily on the door frame, cheeks pink and dark hair mussed.
"Henry, what's wrong?" She rises from her chair, the paperwork falling forgotten to the desk.
"Emma!" he pants. "Emma, have you seen my mom?"
"Sure kid. Yesterday, or the day before. Or... sometime." She frowns. When was the last time she had seen Regina? "Why do you ask?"
"Because," Henry's face falls. "She's gone."

Healing After Trauma | Narcissistic & Psychopathic Abuse
© 2016 NeuroInstincts | All Rights Reserved | No Unauthorized Reproduction Permitted in any form
Cruelty, psychological games, and danger are never love. This is why the breakup period or aftermath with abusers will usually require a recovery process. Healing. It is not a matter of a broken heart, but a broken spirit; a damaged soul.
Unlike normal relationships where the pain naturally (and often quickly) fades with the passage of time, these relationships take work to feel whole again.
Abuse is often traumatic for the brain and trauma causes neurological responses that can change the psychological state of the one who was victimized. This is true for most living beings. For some, this can lead to problems such as,
The brain is one of the only organs of the body that is immediately responsive to the environment and who is in it. In an instant, we can be changed forever.
Therefore, an abrasive, callous, manipulative person can cause the emotional and neurological state of another to disintegrate into a psychological illness. With prolonged exposure, a disintegration of physical health can follow.
Our brain does not adjust well to the presence of a person who is violating, manipulative, callous, and narcissistic and will therefore need help to recover.
Yes. Psychological symptoms can be healed or improved if the non-pathological individual approaches the aftermath of an abusive relationship differently from a 'normal' relationship. In normal relationships, all it often takes is allowing for passage of time. But waiting, does very little to heal from violations and mind games.
What works at the end of a non-abusive relationship is only minimally effective after narcissistic or psychopathic abuse.
For the person who was traumatized by their partner, it is imperative that their first focus is on safety. There can be no healing if you are currently at risk of harm.
[The list that follows is applicable to individuals who have been out of the relationship for some time and not in an emergency situation. The time for healing is not in the midst of a crisis or potential risks to safety.]
Here are some tactics to healing:
- Education regarding the pathology and behavior patterns of the abuse.
- Implementation of boundaries [to prevent further abuse]
- Openness to think about the situation in a different way. [It can sometimes be difficult to come to term that one might have been in an abusive relationship.]
- Treatment with a well trained and skilled mental health provider, preferably with a strong background in the area of personality disorders, neuro-treatment strategies, and the aftermath of relationships of this type.
- A healthy, gentle support system.
- Self-compassion

We finally know why Sarah Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska. Word is she was having an affair…with Mark Sanford. Sorry – that was pretty lame. I do have to admit I stole it from Bob and Tom.
Anyway, since I hadn't written about Palin yet and I seem to be about the only one who hasn't, I thought since it is Friday, what the heck, I'll dredge up an old topic and offer my take on it. My one phrase reaction to this news, "Sarah, what the hell?"
I know everybody's asking if Palin is done now that she's quit the people of Alaska. I really don't know about that. We've had adulterers get second and third chances. We've had crooks and liars win re-election year after year. Heck, even Barney Frank, who owned a gay brothel, is Chairperson of the House Financial Services Committee. So we do tend to give people a second chance.
Her problem is the path to the White House goes through Iowa. Iowans are more loyal and moral than the nation as a whole. We have an older demographic still demanding personal responsibility and sticking to a job until it is done. Our caucus is much more personal than New Hampshire's primary and as a result it will make Sarah look Iowans in the eye. When we do get the chance to look her in the eye, will we see a quitter or a president?
I think that answer depends on what she does from now until the campaigns start heating up. If she spends time with her family without pushing a conservative agenda, then Iowans will feel she's let us down. She has enormous clout in conservative circles and to waste that would be a shame in the eyes of our activists.
No matter what she does in the next few months though, she'll always have a place in politics. She's a good conservative, very likeable, and extremely attractive. That gives her more positives than Huckabee, Newt, and Romney. She's also a favorite whipping girl of the press. They won't let her drift off into obscurity. Without her, they would have to write more stories about Limbaugh or Bush and those are just getting old.
So I say let Sarah come to Iowa and prove herself. She's got a steeper hill to climb now but I'm betting if she says and does the right things, she'll still have a great chance to win our caucus.

Analysis of fluid inclusion gases from geothermal systems, using a rapid-scanning quadrupole mass spectrometer
Sasada, Masakatsu; Sawaki, Takayuki; Takeno, Naoto
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 4 Number 5 (1992), p. 895 - 906
27 references
published: Oct 14, 1992
manuscript accepted: Mar 16, 1992
DOI: 10.1127/ejm/4/5/0895
ArtNo. ESP147050405002, Price: 29.00 €
Abstract Fluid inclusions in samples from geothermal systems were analyzed by a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) and a capacitance manometer. Individual inclusions were analyzed semi-quantitatively by the rapid scanning mode of the QMS. The results of individual inclusion analysis show that the inclusion fluids comprise mainly H2O and a small amount of variable CO2; decrepitation temperatures range mostly between 250 and 450 °C. No significant decrepitation of vapor-rich inclusions occurred at temperatures up to 500 °C The H2O, CO2, N2, CH4 and Ar contents were determined quantitatively by bulk analysis. The CO2 contents determined by the QMS are consistent with estimation from microthermometry and crushing, while they are generally higher than the CO2 contents of the fluids discharged in each area. This suggests that the inclusions could have trapped hydrothermal fluids at early stages before considerable degassing or dilution. Differences in the CO2/CH4, CO2/N2 and N2/Ar ratios between the inclusion fluids and present fluids in some areas could be explained by boiling or dilution. The gas compositions of fluid inclusions also indicate that the partial pressure of N2 in geothermal fluids is of the same order as CO2, thus also affecting boiling characteristics.
