26 year old woman | Scottsdale, AZ, USA | Seeking men 25-32 within 50 miles
Life is meant to LIVE so live it right, regret nothing, don't do anything half way & love with your whole heart. Attitude is everything!
I have had a pretty eventful life for 23 years. I recently moved to AZ last December after a year in Portland, OR and growing up/attending college in WA. I love living in the sunshine! I'm very hardworking and driven! I love working! I truly believe I have the best job in the world! Working in the Fitness Industry is amazing! I manage a group personal training studio and teach classes there as well. Training gives me the opportunity to help people change their lives for the better and working in group fitness gives me the ability to touch a group of people at once. Because fitness is such a huge part of my life, it is extremely important to me that the person I am with is just as invested in their health and fitness. I am passionate about everything I do in life. I love my friends and maintaining friendships while in a relationship is very important to me; And this goes both ways. Since moving to AZ I definitely miss those close friendships I had back home. As far as my personal interests go, working out is by far my number one hobby. When I'm not at the gym, I enjoy cooking healthy meals, laying by the pool, reading, hiking, experiencing fun new restaurants and during the fall watching some football. Go HAWKS! Although these are my interests, I am the kind of person that can have a good time in absolutely any situation! I have traveled around the world and I plan to continue that especially as I continue to create a life that gives me more and more freedom with time! When it comes to what is most important to me, ultimately it is about living a life of value. To me that means valuing people, creating positive relationships, positively impacting the lives of others and overall having someone to share in all of these things! As for what I am looking for in a relationship is an honest, loyal, loving, caring, funny, passionate guy who has a positive outlook on life, and has a desire to always continue growing and improving both as a person and in a relationship as well. Most of all I look forward to eventually meeting someone that I can forever call my best friend.

I like dogs. I'm allergic to cats. I like animals but I wouldn't consider myself an animal lover.
Middle of the Road
Still quite new to AZ but at this point my pool would have to be my favorite spot. I love anywhere that is warm! (main reason I moved to the dessert). A few of my favorites to travel are Las Vegas, Cabo San Lucas, San Diego and Hawaii.
Washington State University, Pullman, WA
Nike, Electronic Music, Starbucks, Protein pancakes, Slippers, Crystal-light, ICE!!!, big comfy sweatshirts, coconut, lifting weights, sleeping, straws, sushi, sugar-free Popsicles, traveling, and good conversation.
Working out and being active! I enjoy going to the movies, staying in and watching movies. Cooking homemade healthy meals (often)! Going to/watching any (well almost any) sporting event, spending time at the pool and spending time with friends.

Baird's Sandpiper
Expand Messages
- Thu 14 Aug 2003 -- Dorothy Tobkin reports two BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS and two
RED-NECKED PHALAROPES on Ten-mile Beach this morning. There are also SNOWY
PLOVERS at this location, but she hasn't seen them at Virgin Creek
- Thu, 26 Aug 2004 -- At Lake Mendocino this morning there was a BAIRD'S
SANDPIPER on the bar appearing near Coyote Dam south of the marina.

The Baird's Sandpiper that showed up yesterday afternoon at the Ukiah Wastewater Treatment Plant has returned today. Many of the peeps are pulling out because the N. pond is drying up. Although the Middle pond is receding too and showing some land in the middle. Of note there is also a Pectoral Sandpiper and 22 Egrets, Snowy and Great. Steve Stump

I am having some issues with iBoxes and better iBoxes, I have them in several places and some I want round, some not, some have descriptions, some not. I definitely don't want lorum ipsum text to appear when I don't have a description.
What's the best way to do this? Give each of them their own class? I have something like this, but it doesn't seem to work all of the time.
.news_iboxes .better_iboxes .better_iboxes_desc {display: none;} .bottom_ibox_links ibox-desc {display: none;}
Also, I am not quite clear on what is meant by: Separate with a space " " in the styling classes section.
Does that mean I would put the two classes in with just a space between them, or am I meant to put in the inch marks as well?

Link up! I hope you have all had a great week- we are crazy busy and really excited about the week ahead here at No Time For Flash Cards.

Happy Mother's Day! Today we celebrate moms who are here, moms who are gone and all the wonderful things they have taught us. I am linking to this sunshine craft today because my mom has called me Sunshine since I can remember. Feel free to link to anything you want to share but if you want to link to a post or activity or article about your mom, that reminds you of your mom or musing about being a mom I'd love that too! Have a wonderful week.

Normally we post our best post of the week and please feel free to still do that today if you are itching to share something but every now and then I feel the urge to dust off old masterpieces! So dig back ( as far or not so far as you wish) and add something stupendous today. Let's see what you got 😉 Have a wonderful week and if you haven't joined out Parenting Book Club you still have time to read our April selection , trust me it's a gem!

The main reason according to the article is the longevity of film, compared to current digital storage technology.
Digital, and extreme HD slow motion, is by far cheaper, and easier to manage, not to mention all the film lost due to mistakes (exposure/processing), and the associated cost.
I guess they decided that its easier to store film as ultimate backup than raid arrays.

Once you have setup file sharing, files can be transferred from the Mac to the PC and subsequently copied (backed up) to DVD. Depending on the sophistication level of the file sharing utility you choose, additional steps may be required to preserve the Mac file attributes.

We're here to play some Mississippi Delta Blues. We're in a horrible depression, and I gotta admit - we're starting to like it.
Then fuck him because of his right wing, bridge-closing fatfuck governor, right? Why doesn't he move to a state that isn't teeming with petty political corruption and soil pollution?
So last night's show in Bridgeport was the last show of the first leg of the Reflektor tour. There were a few hearty souls in line early before doors.
I took this photo and drove south to Fairfield to meet my pal Buck for pizza and beers at the Colony Grill. I recommend the Hot Oil Pie.
About half the crowd honored the band's request to dress up in costume or formal. We were among them. We bopped around the concourse looking for a VIP bar and then we ran into these guys:
We found the VIP bar on the upper tier - nobody asked for any credentials (nor did we have any) - and watched Dan Deacon warm up the crowd with some silly dance-contests while we drank Maker's Mark out of plastic tumblers.
Arcade Fire did the fake stage trick at the beginning. I'm glad they did because we were able to ditch this horrible drunk chick who was flying solo and looking to chat up anyone who would listen to her story about her bargain basement designer evening gown.
It was a fun show. On the floor, every tune was pretty much a sing-a-long.
Set list:
Flashbulb Eyes
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
Rebellion (Lies)
Joan of Arc
The Suburbs
The Suburbs (Continued)
Ready to Start
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
We Exist
No Cars Go
It's Never Over (Oh Orpheus) (Régine on B-stage)
Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
('Damian Taylor Remix' intro)
(Win, Owen and Jeremy on B-Stage)
Iko Iko (The Dixie Cups song)
Your Body Is a Wonderland (John Mayer song) (Fake band on B-stage)
Normal Person
Controversy (Prince cover)
Here Comes the Night Time
Wake Up
Supersymmetry was not the number I was hoping for to close the show. Nevertheless, the John Mayer spoof was gold. They had the fake costume band posturing on the B stage while Your Body is a Wonderland played on the PA before Win cut them off mid song with a rant about how it was supposed to be a Hatebreed song.
Here Come's the Night Time was the show stopper and my mind is churning trying to figure out what they'll do on the Polo Fields for this one.
More than worth the price of admission; I'll probably pony up and go see them again this summer in Mansfield. The new songs carried the night.

I went to the show last Saturday in Kansas City and it was great. They played 'Ocean of Noise', which I had never seen them play before, that was a nice surprise.
We're here to play some Mississippi Delta Blues. We're in a horrible depression, and I gotta admit - we're starting to like it.
If Win Butler is going to start playing the Rockstar behavior, does that mean we're gonna get the Arcade Fire classic stadium rock LP next? Because I would be super down for that.
But theyre gonna have to play stadiums for that to happen.

Yeah ive been mentioning it for a while. Im leaving vmk this week. Friday or saturday will be my last day playing. (prolly saturday) well not for good. I plan on giving away all my stuff to less fortunate friends. (you guys) having a party then, occasionally gettin on vmk whenever i dont have anything to do. Ive been playing for two years now, and just nothing to do. I've got other things to do, and for anyone who thinks so (like some girl last night on vmk) i can handle playing vmk and dealing with life, in no way is that effecting my decesion. Sure i have a lot to do, but its not like vmk is sucking up all my time. However a party was mentioned, and i would be thrilled if you all would like to throw a going away party for me, preferrably friday or saturday night. It will give me a chance to give away all my stuff, say bye to everyone, and have a good time. I encourage you all to leave me on your friends list, so that when i do rarely get on in occasion you can say hey and remind me how aweosme i am and how much you love cake.
While this has been a great experiance, playing vmk, especially after joining micechat. Ive had a great time doing it, meeting you all, and having experiances with you guys. Feel free to add me to your messangers list and i will talk to everone another time.

Bye everyone. Have fun and Good luck.

Barry Cowan says stage is set for thrilling end to ATP Tour season in Basel, Paris and London
The stage is set for a thrilling climax to the tennis year, starting in Basel, says Barry Cowan.
Last Updated: 24/10/12 12:43pm
Quite simply it was a stunning match - the best Masters final I've ever seen - and one that on any other day Andy Murray would have won, but Novak Djokovic came up with some unbelievable tennis at crucial times.
The quality of the play was superb, as was the players' fitness, and undoubtedly I think those two players are the ones who will be battling it out at the top of the rankings in 2013.
Both are in their mid-twenties and entering the peak of their careers; Djokovic hasn't necessarily performed at the same level as last year yet he's still going to finish the year as World No 1, which bears testament to his incredible ability to back up big performances. I think he'll be even better next year.
The same goes for Murray after what has been a breakthrough year. I really expect him to kick on, not least because he still has huge goals that he wants to achieve. He knows that if he continues to work hard and do the right thing, the titles will take care of themselves.
There's no hint of desperation about him; all of the great champions are able to stay relaxed under pressure and although Murray will be disappointed he didn't close out the match in Shanghai, likewise he'll recognise that he didn't do much wrong.
He's decided to sit out Basel this week to ensure that he's as close to 100 per cent, physically and mentally, for the final two weeks of the year and that can only be a wise move.
One player with a few points to prove in Basel is Juan Martin del Potro, who bolstered his bid to qualify for the season-ending World Tour Finals by winning in Vienna.
Now he needs to show that he can back up his performances week-in, week-out without being hampered by the wrist injury which has so affected his season since the summer.
It looked as if he was going through the pain barrier a bit in North America and he had to pull out of the Davis Cup semi-final against Czech Republic; the last thing he would want now is to take a considerable amount of time off the tour.
As well as Del Potro has bounced back after that first wrist injury, he hasn't been able to make the next step up so I'll be watching him closely to see if that's within his capability. He has shown glimpses of that quality but over a period of time in a match without being able to sustain it.
That said, he has all but qualified for the World Tour Finals - as has Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The outstanding issue seems to be who will qualify in ninth, given that it looks as though Rafael Nadal won't be fit enough to compete in London.
None of the guys from the top down can afford to take their eye off the ball at this time of the year because a bad run now can seriously affect your preparation for Australia in January.
This season's tour finishes two weeks earlier than usual to give the players more of a break before 2013; that can only be good because we want to see Murray, Djokovic and Nadal play into their early-thirties.
As athletes the players will welcome the total break - it's a chance for them to rest their body and mind before the build-up for Australia starts.
However, to accommodate the change in schedule London will start a day after Paris finishes, which personally I don't agree with, because it affects how the draw is made and could well have an impact on player performance in the opening rounds of the competition.
Back to this week, and Roger Federer goes into the Swiss Indoors aiming to win for a sixth time and repeat his Basel, Paris, London hat-trick of last year.
The Swiss hasn't lost Indoors on Tour since Paris 2010, so he'll feel with some justification that he's still the best player in the world in those conditions.
However, I'm not so sure that he will win the World Tour Finals; at this stage I think the title will go to either Djokovic or Murray, two guys who have raised the bar.
That's not to say that Federer can't win London or big events next year, but over a 52-week year I believe those two players are now the best.

If all the world's water were fit into a gallon jug, the fresh water available to us would be only one tablespoon.
By 2025, fifty-two countries with two-thirds of the world's population will likely have water shortages.
Drought conditions exist across the United States from New York to California, impacting the regulation of water usage.
On average, 50-70% of home water is used outdoors for watering lawns and gardens.
If each of America's 91 million gardening households planted one shade tree, these trees would absorb 2.25 million tons of CO2 annually.

Tim MacMahon: I'm told that Dirk will join Mavs' recruiting contingent in tomorrow's meetings with DeAndre Jordan and LaMarcus Aldridge.: 55 more rumors
Tim MacMahon: Mavs have DeAndre Jordan meeting Wednesday morning, LaMarcus Aldridge that afternoon. Both in LA. Mavs' recruiting committee: Mark Cuban, Donnie Nelson, Rick Carlisle and Chandler Parsons. Dirk is available this week if needed.: 55 more rumors
Newly retired Steve Nash participated in the Nowitzki charity baseball game and he was back as Nowitzki's teammate, perhaps for the first time since they were in the Mavericks' starting lineup at the end of the 2003-04 season. Nash said he had not played baseball in close to 30 years.
Q: What language do you talk trash in? A: If I'm talking to another guy on the other team, then whatever language he speaks. Or if I want to curse the referee, obviously I'll curse in Latvian so he doesn't understand (smile). Q: What parts of the games of Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki do you think you might want to take? A: I would love to have the IQ of Pau's game, how smart he is playing. Then Dirk, his offensive skills, his shot, you know, fadeaway, that's something [that is] unguardable.
There was one moment [in the documentary] when Helmut Schmidt, the former German chancellor, was telling you if you're going to be retiring at 40, you need to be studying something, and you tell him you're studying business. How's that going? Nowitzki: Yeah, I was so surprised, obviously I was nervous talking to one of the ex-chancellors, so when he hit me with that one he didn't quite know how much money we earn these days in sports, so he thought I'd have to do something to maintain the family. I didn't quite want to say, 'Hey buddy, I've got nothing lined up…' That'd kind of make me look bad. So, I said, 'You know what, I've got something…' and in the back of my head I'm scrambling about what am I actually good at besides hoops? And business came to mind, and I'm a bad numbers guy, so that was a total lie – made up.
Do you find yourself cheering for other European players that come into the NBA to make it? Nowitzki: Actually, at the beginning I didn't. I was like, 'Nah, this is me. This is my spot.' And now, over the years, I've shifted a little bit. Now, I'm obviously almost over the hill, so I'm there to help the young guys. Whenever they have a question, I'll answer it. But at the beginning, I have to admit, it wasn't like that. Every time I saw a European I wanted to go extra hard.
Tim MacMahon: Dirk Nowitzki says he'd "love to keep" Tyson Chandler, "love to keep" Monta Ellis and "love to have" LaMarcus Aldridge. Diplomatic, but not possible.
That said, Nowitzki remains convinced that Ellis will become a free agent. "I haven't talked to him lately, but I'm guessing he'll opt out. Why would he not. He had two phenomenal seasons here. He was our closer and our leading scorer last year. And I'm sure for his market value he feels like he was a little underpaid. That's my feeling, that he'll opt out. But that's his decision. My gut feeling is that he'll opt out. That's another decision we'll have to make. He's another guy I'd love to keep. But we all know how free agency goes," Nowitzki said Tuesday at the Mavericks' Hoop Camp presented by Academy Sports and Outdoors at Episcopal School of Dallas.: 20 more rumors
Earl K. Sneed: Dirk: "I know that at 37 I can't be the No. 1 option if we want to play for a championship. That's just normal. That's how the cycle goes."
Dwain Price: Dirk said he's surprise the #Cavs haven't played Shawn Marion in the NBA Finals, especially when the #Warriors go small.
Earl K. Sneed: Dirk says he hasn't talked to Monta Ellis, but his gut feeling is Ellis will opt out of the final year of his contract.: 20 more rumors
To get there, the young center wants to spend his summer getting stronger, particularly in his lower body, to help handle a heavier workload next season. And, already one of the league's most feared rim protectors, Gobert hopes to put a little more fear into opposing defenses next year. The center intends to improve his post game and add some mid-range shooting to his repertoire. He says he's hitting consistently from about 15-feet right now, and he plans to spend 10 days in Germany with Dirk Nowitzki's shooting coach later this summer to help fine-tune his form. "I'm more confident," he said of his offensive game. "Really in the first season and early last season, I wasn't really trying anything offensively. Now I can really work on my game and try to show it on the floor."
However, Cuban understood the emotional pull of Nowitzki representing Germany in his home country and did not attempt to influence his decision. "I think it's great," Cuban told ESPN.com through the Cyber Dust messaging app Thursday. "Games are being played in Germany. It will be a chance for his fans there to see him play."
Nowitzki, who ranks seventh on the league's all-time scoring list, announced his decision to compete at EuroBasket 2015 on Thursday morning at a news conference in Frankfurt, Germany. "I've chosen to be in Berlin," Nowitzki said, according to the EuroBasket website, referring to the host city for Group B in this year's tournament. "I've had the whole month of May and used it to gain some distance and enjoy family time. Of course, I also have consulted the matter with my wife.
Jody Genessy: Tyler Haws got a picture with Dirk Nowitzki after his Dallas workout. He didn't mind "being that guy" who asks an NBA star for a photo.
22 May
On if it's crossed his mind at all: Nowitzki: "Some nights, it's just not fun. Especially in an 82-game season, there's just some nights where you just feel slow and things hurt a little bit. Still, I love to compete. I love the process of getting to the gym and working out and trying to get better. What's harder sometimes is to motivate yourself in the summer. The summer workouts, and then go home with (shooting coach) Holger (Geschwindner) for four-five weeks of every day in the morning: lift, run, shoot. That sometimes is hard to get up with because when I'm here, there's guys to work out with. Like just now, I've got Dwight Powell down there, we push each other, I talk a little crap to him and that's fun. But in Germany, I work out by myself and then Holger comes at the end and we shoot. So that sometimes gets a little hard."
Dirk Nowitzki wants to finish contract before retiring
Dirk Nowitzki tells KTCK-AM 1310 he wants to finish contract before retiring … Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki joined KTCK-AM 1310 last Monday afternoon. Here are some highlights: On possibly retiring this offseason: Nowitzki: "No. I definitely want to fulfill my contract. I signed on for three years last summer and I'm not going to retire after the first year. If I commit to something, I commit to it fully. I've got two more years and hopefully make it count, make it good ones. Hopefully deep playoff runs, that's what we wanted this year. We wanted homecourt advantage to set us up for a nice little run, we just weren't consistent enough to really get there, so, we'll see how the next few years play out."
Dirk Nowitzki on the Shaun Livingston situation: "I'm not sure what he was doing. That's what I actually asked him after. What were you trying to go for there? Actually, I told him right after I might want one more kid, so ease up there. He was kind of like it was totally my fault. I'm not sure if he tried to reach through my legs to get the ball. That's a weird idea. He is smaller, and obviously I'm bigger, so I'm not sure if I had the ball low. I can't even remember how the whole play happened. But yeah, it was just an awkward play. Like I said, afterwards he doesn't have the reputation of that. He's a really good dude. Actually Devin [Harris] and some of the guys in our locker room know him and they right away said he didn't mean to do that. So that's what I rolled with."
Dirk Nowitzki on max contracts in the NBA: "In a way, I understand what the owners want to do. They want to keep it fair for everybody so the big-market teams…like in soccer. Every year it's the same big spenders spending hundreds of millions of Euros over there. It's the same teams always winning the league. I think it's a good approach to have the parity to let everybody have a chance, even though it still might be the same teams. You gotta work within some rules and I actually don't mind it. It's not like I think everyone made enough money, even the superstars. Now with the new CBA coming up in 2017 or whatever, they're already talking about the max money going up to over $30 million. I mean we make more than enough to start complaining…I can see both sides of it. But I don't want to get carried away here. I think the superstars make enough money in our league."

There are countless fish in the ocean, how many can you catch?
Few photos and simple instructions can't reflect the entire person, I think I am more stereoscopic in daily life. I am decent and genuine, intelligent and enjoy learning, I am passionate but I have stable emotion and mood, I am modern fashion but I am not feminist, I have healthy life style enjoy simple pleasure and moments from daily life, such as watch a nice movie or read an interesting article etc.. I am pretty easygoing and down-to-earth person, usually I do not talk too much, easy to stay with and fewer dramas. I may look younger outside but I am more mature and thoughtful inside and having some international visions. I never think I am difficult to approach, I always think self an ordinary person having ordinary life which I enjoy to be. I like to stay with the man who is authentic and easy going, mature and intellectual, confident and warm. I am not well around with pretentious and sentimental men, I am really not into fake or nervous man who is over sensitive and unpredictable, I am a peaceful pleasant person, I am only into civilized peaceful men. I don't mind to make couple intelligent mature gentlemen friends I can learn something from them but I do more care about the attitude, simply say I won't deal with you if you don't have appropriate attitude no matter how good do you think you are. I would like to contact the man who has wisdom and experiences from life to know what are the differences between fantasy and reality, expectations and delusions, having precise senses and judgments to what does he look for. I have to revise my profile after staying here a while: 1) Pls pass me if you were recently divorced or currently separated; (2) Don't waste time on me if you are looking for casual fun or one-night stand, I know exactly what should I do. (3) My brain is better than my beauty, I am not the easy meal for cheaters or players; (4) I do NOT contact the man who had Asian girl friends or wife before and I won't be compromise with this point, weird, isn't it? I have my specific acceptable reasons and I will let you know if we got chances. (5) " why don't you simile in the photos"? It is funny and amazing that different people but asked the same question. I have all my teeth and they are nice, I will show you my teeth and simile to you if we could meet, but before that pls don't ask the question again. I can't guess out what do you think and you couldn't guess out what do I think if we don't speak out because we are strangers just looking for chances here. I don't send out messages often but I would love to hear from mature intellectual gentlemen, appreciated you can read all of the above.

Ive tried lots of cleansers in my day. This is hands down the best cleanser i've ever used. I'm on my third bottle. The beauty of it this that it does not dry out the skin, It lightly exfoliates, it comes in a huge bottle, and its does not test on animals and contains no animal ingredients. Did I mention it is only 5.99?! You can't go wrong with this one. I wouldn't trade it for another cleanser!

I came home from school for a few months but left my face cleanser back at my college apartment. I needed to pick up a decent cleanser to get me through my time at home but didn't want to spend a lot. I picked this up for $6 and it does the job. This is a no-frills basic cleanser for everyday use; there's no invigorating scent or tingle. Mild and gentle, no fragrance, color or excess chemicals, but an effective, non-drying cleanser. It's not exactly tear-free but I noticed that I no longer need to use face scrub on a weekly basis due to its mild exfoliating properties. The experience is similar to using cetaphil but it's thicker, lathers better, and leaves no residue after washing.

no fragrance, no dryness = no irritation. Good alternative for the Clinique liquid facial cleanser in price and quality.

Great at cleansing and taking off makeup, including stubborn mascara...but it was drying on my slightly dry skin.

I pumped out too much the first time, it felt like Elmers Glue on my face! Next time I used this I was more careful with the amount, I really like it. It's not irritating, it doesn't smell weird, it cleaned my face gently and it didn't break me out. Given the price is so reasonable, I'll be using this for a long time to come.

It was ok...removed my makeup, didn't leave any annoying film on my face, removed sunscreen too but left my face a little dry. Didn't do anything great for my face except cleaning it.

Gentle,removes make-up well.nice foam and cheap...5.99 for 8.45oz!
Good quality pump bottle
Try this! If you don't like for face you can always use as a hand soap and reuse the bottle for something when it's empty

Really, really loving this cleanser. I prefer foaming cleansers, and this one is the least drying of all I have tried. I've been using CeraVe Foaming (which i still love) but it dries out your skin more than this one.
For reference, I have combo skin that has a tendency to get oily at the end of the day.
This cleans well, doesn't dry, and the best part about it is the ingredients! Tonsss of antioxidants. Coupled with other antioxidants in your regimen, like witch hazel, this is sure to keep your skin looking radiant and young.

I do like this cleanser a lot. It has a mild formula, is full of antioxidants, and I like that it is unscented. I also like that it is inexpensive and readily available. Although it is not *quite* as gentle as my Burt's Bees Soapbark Chamomile cleanser, it does do a better job of removing makeup. It is also a couple of dollars cheaper. And, it doesn't dry out my skin excessively, even in cold weather. I think I still prefer the Burt's Bees cleanser overall, but will likely repurchase this cleanser for the aforementioned reasons, and would recommend it for almost any skin type. EDIT: I have been using this cleanser for over a month now and my acne scars around my chin area are fading! I credit that to this cleanser. Will def. be repurchasing this product :)

UPDATE - After two months of use following the two weeks my below review was written, this cleanser has become drying. My breakouts got worse because of the dehydration, so while the product itself is till IMO very good, it's just a bit too much for my skin.
This is now my HG night cleanser! I've been using this for two weeks solid, every night regardless of makeup/no makeup days. I have very acne prone, sensitive skin that doesn't like being dried out by cleansers or left-behind residue. I was skeptical about this cleanser because it sort of seemed like a glorified liquid soap, which my skin hates, but I am IN LOVE with it!
It takes off every trace of makeup and cleanses exceptionally well, but I am not tight afterwards. My skin looks better from using it, and it's calmed some of my acne sensitivity. I know it says it exfoliates, and it actually seems like it does, I just have no idea how since the ingredients and texture don't really reflect this ability. However, I really don't care since this is working for me beautifully. It's so dirt cheap that everyone should give it a try!

Rep. Barbara Cubin (R-Wyo.) has virtually no money left in her campaign account after raising only $11,000 in the entire third quarter.
She ended the third quarter with $8,651 cash-on-hand.
Her meager fundraising will continue to fuel speculation that the seven-term lawmaker may not run for re-election. Despite running in the heavily Republican state of Wyoming, Cubin has faced serious Democratic challenges in recent years.
In 2006, Cubin only defeated rancher Gary Trauner by less than a one-point margin in the state's closest House race in 36 years. Trauner announced Monday that he would be seeking a rematch against Cubin.
Cubin has also been spending nearly as much time in Wyoming as she has in Washington lately. She has missed nearly half of all votes in the House this year, largely because of her husband's chronic illness.

administration and called on the state government to reverse the trend, which it said is against local government rules.
THE Association of Local Government Pensioners in Bayelsa State has tasked the government on the welfare of pensioners and payment of over N8billion owed its members in unpaid gratuities.
The pensioners also faulted the staggered method of payment adopted by the government, stressing that such move is against the interest and welfare of its members.
Speaking after the group's meeting at the Women Affairs Conference Hall, Yenagoa, Chairman of the association, Prince Renner Hobobo, called for corresponding increase of their allowances and gratuity since salaries of workers have been increased by 18 per cent. He said a 53 per cent increment is needed to help pensioners meet their daily needs.
Hobobo said the association's members have meritoriously served their country, adding that they deserved better deal. He lamented that several letters written to the State Assembly and Governor Seriake Dickson have yielded no result.
Nevertheless, he disclosed that the union has acquired six plots of lands for its secretariat building, adding that developers would be contacted for a befitting structure.

Silicone compositions which are useful as binders for fibrous gasketing and packing materials are disclosed. Such silicone compositions are a mixture of hydroxyl end-blocked diorganosiloxanes, a crosslinking silane, catalysts, emulsifiers and water.
1. A composition of matter which is useful in preparing gaskets and packings which consists essentially of
(A) 100 parts by weight an an α,ω-dihydroxydiorganopolysiloxane having a viscosity of at least 100 cs. at 25� C.,
(b) 5-150 parts by weight of a silane of the general formula
wherein R is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon radical, R' is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
(C) 0.1-15 parts by weight of an organometallic catalyst,
(D) 1-20 parts by weight of an emulsifying agent and
(E) 50-1000 parts by weight of water,
(F) sufficient solid gasketing material to form a gasket.
2. A composition of matter as claimed in claim 1 in which the solid gasketing material is in fibrous form.
3. A composition of matter as claimed in claim 2 which contains asbestos fibers as the solid gasketing material.
4. A composition of matter as claimed in claim 2 which is cured.
5. A composition of matter as claimed in claim 1 which contains pulp paper as the solid gasketing material.
This invention deals with silicone compositions which are useful for binding together fibrous materials to form gaskets, packing material and the like.
More specifically, siloxanes which can be emulsified are treated with specific silanes and these siloxanes are filled with fibrous materials, molded and cured to give materials useful for gasketing and packing.
Such gasketing and packings find utility in automobile, construction machine and marine engines.
Prior art gasketing materials consisted of combining fibrous materials, such as asbestos or paper, with nitrile-butadiene, styrene-butadiene or chloroprene rubber polymers in emulsion form. These products, however, have serious problems in practical use since they have inferior heat resistance, water resistance, and oil resistance properties and inferior sealing and surface release characteristics.
Some presently used gaskets and packings are produced by stamping out paper or asbestos sheets and treating the stamped forms with silicone oils, varnishes or rubbers. These gaskets, however, show insufficient sealing abilities because of the lack of flexibility.
There are also used as surface treatments, silicone emulsions which contain hydroxy endblocked diorganopolysiloxanes and organohydrogenpolysiloxanes but these materials also suffer from poor sealing ability and in addition are not durable because of inferior physical strength and poor adhesion. Further, one has to content with the formation of spongy polymer caused by the entrapment of evolved hydrogen from the cure reaction of that material.
The instant invention gives the high strength and strong adhesion requirements for gasketing for automotive, construction machine and marine engines.
The instant invention consists of a silicone composition which is a mixture of (A) 100 parts by weight of an α,ω-dihydroxydiorganopolysiloxane having a viscosity of at least 100 cs. at 25� C., (B) 5-150 parts by weight of a silane of the general formula
wherein R is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon radical, R' is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, (C) 0.1-15 parts by weight of an organometallic catalyst, (D) 1-20 parts by weight of an emulsifying agent and, (E) 50-1000 parts by weight of water.
Component (A) of this invention, the α,ω-dihydroxydiorganopolysiloxanes, are well-known articles of commerce and need not be described in great detail. For purposes of this invention, component (A) can be linear or slightly branched linear polymers having methyl, ethyl, propyl, vinyl and phenyl groups attached to the silicon atoms. These diorganopolysiloxanes should contain at least two hydroxyl groups attached to silicon atoms and the viscosity of such siloxanes should be at least 100 cs. at 25� C. Preferred polymers are linear polymers. Preferred groups on silicon are methyl groups. The preferred range of viscosity is from 20,000 to 300,000 cs. at 25� C.
Component (B), the silanes, have the general formula
where R is selected independently from methyl, ethyl, propyl, vinyl, phenyl, γ-chloropropyl, p-chlorophenyl, p-methylphenyl, γ-glycidoxypropyl, β-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl, γ-aminopropyl, γ-ethylaminopropyl and γ-methacryloxypropyl groups, etc. and R' is selected independently from methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, vinyl and methoxyethyl groups, etc.
By way of example, the silanes can be ethyltriethoxysilane, amyltriethoxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, phenyltriethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, methyltrimethoxysilane, methyltri(methoxyethoxy)silane, β-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-aminopropylmethoxysilane, etc. Especially desirable examples are methyltrimethoxysilane and γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane.
Component (C), the organometallic catalysts, are heavy metal salts of organic acids such as dibutyltin diacetate, dibutyltin dilaurate, dioctyltin dilaurate, dibutyltin dioctanoate, zinc naphthenate, cobalt naphthenate, zinc octanoate, tin octanoate, cobalt octanoate, dioctyltin diisooctylmercaptoacetate, dibutyltin diisooctylmercaptoacetate, and the organic acid salts of manganese, lead and iron. In addition, organotitanate esters such as tetrabutylorthotitanate, tetrapropylorthotitanate, can also be used.
Component (D), the emulsifying agents, are nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants or ampholytic surfactants usually used for emulsification of silicone oil or for the emulsion polymerization of silicones. Examples of these types of emulsifiers are aliphatic acid esters of glycerine, aliphatic acid esters of polyethylene glycol, aliphatic acid esters of polypropylene glycol, aliphatic acid esters of sorbitan, polyethyleneglycol alkylphenyl ethers, alcohol sulfuric ester salts and alkylbenzenesulfonic acid salts.
The binder of this invention is prepared by preparing an α,ω-dihydroxydiorganopolysiloxane emulsion at first either by the direct emulsification of an α,ω-dihydroxydiorganopolysiloxane in water using an emulsifier, or by the preparation of a solution in organic solvent such as xylene or trichloroethylene, followed by emulsification with water in the presence of some emulsifying agent, or in still another way, by an emulsion polymerization of the cyclic tetramer or cyclic trimer of a precursor siloxane. Component (B) the silane and an organometallic catalyst as component (C) may either be directly added and mixed by stirring, or they may be added after they are emulsified with some emulsifying agent and then added to the emulsion of component (A), or in an alternative method, they may be added after they are dissolved in some organic solvent such as xylene, trichloroethylene or ethanol. Any method by which components (A)-(E) can be mixed homogeneously to form a stable emulsion may be used. In this mixing, the amount of component (B) should be 5-150 parts by weight, preferably 15-120 parts to 100 parts by weight of component (A). Component (C) should be 0.1-15 parts by weight, or, preferably, 1-8 parts by weight. Component (D) should be present at 1-20 parts. There is no special restriction on the amount of component (E), but a range of 50-1000 parts by weight is recommended.
In addition to the above essential and indispensable components, there may be added secondary components such as dyes, organic solvents, preservatives, emulsification stabilizers, dimethylpolysiloxane oils which have been blocked at both ends with trimethylsilyl groups, silicone copolymers which are composed of trimethylsiloxane units and SiO2 units and in which the ratio of methyl groups to silicon atoms is 0.5:1-2.5:1. Such materials, however, should not be present in large amounts i.e. greater than 10 percent by weight.
When a binder for gaskets and packing proposed by this invention is to be used, it is diluted with water as needed, and then a material like paper pulp, asbestos, linen, or the like, which has been shredded into fibers, is added to this solution to form a slurry. This slurry is made into a sheet using a paper manufacturing press. Then the sheet is compressed, dried, and then thermally cured. In this procedure, gaskets and packings which have excellent heat resistance, sealing characteristics and surface release characteristics, are produced. If necessary, this type of binder may be used in combination with known binders such as nitrile-butadiene rubber emulsion.
The invention will be explained specifically in the following examples. In these examples, "%" and "parts" refer to wt % and parts by weight. All the values for viscosity in the examples are those measured at 25� C. Tests and test conditions were as follows: The test machine as an Instron tension meter. The test pieces were filter Paper No. 131 made by Toyo Roshi, Co., Japan. They were 1 mm thick and 20 cm in width rectangles. Dry tensile strengths were tested at a tension speed of 30 cm/min. at a guage length of 10 cm. Wet tensile strength was measured immediately after water immersion for 30 min. at 25� C. The peel strengths were made on overlap "Nichiban" adhesive tape on a test piece by placing a metal weight having a 10 gm/sq. cm. weight on the adhesive tape which was overlapped on a test piece for 24 hours. The peel strength was then measured at a tension speed of 30 cm/min. and drawn at an angle of 180� to the surface. The data was taken from an average of 5 measurements.
100 parts of α,ω-dihydroxydimethylpolysiloxane emulsion containing 20% of polysiloxane with a viscosity of 250,000 cSt and an emulsifier, glyceryl stearate, were added to an emulsion of methyltriethoxysilane (see Table I for the amounts added) and 4 parts of dibutyltin diacetate. The concentration of dibutyltin diacetate was 20%. (sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate was used as the emulsifier for the catalyst). After being stirred, the mixture was poured into a metal mold. After the water had evaporated, the mixture was thermally cured at 150� C. for 10 minutes to produce a rubber sheet. This material was designated A. As a control example, a conventionally used binder, a self-crosslinking styrene-butadiene rubber emulsion, was similarly cured to obtain a rubber sheet. This was designated B. Another control example containing 100 parts of α,ω-dihydroxydimethylpolysiloxane emulsion having a concentration of polysiloxane of 35% and a viscosity of 200,000 cSt and an emulsifier, glyceryl stearate, were combined and stirred with 10 parts of a methylhydrogenpolysiloxane emulsion (polysiloxane concentration was 35%) and 4 parts of dibutyltin diacetate emulsion (concentration of dibutyltin diacetate was 20%) and sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate was used as an emulsifier). This material was designated C. The resultant conventional silicone binder was also cured in a manner similar to the above examples to form rubber sheets. These rubber sheets were subjected to strength and elongation measurements with a tensile tester. The results of the measurements are shown in Table I. The rubber sheets of this invention composed of α,ω-dihydroxydimethylpolysiloxane, methyltriethoxysilane and dibutyltin diacetate showed higher tensile strengths than those of the rubber sheets made with conventional binders. In addition, the sheets did not tend to foam. The results are on Table I.

100 parts of α,ω-dihydroxydimethylpolysiloxane emulsion containing 35% polysiloxane having a viscosity of 20,000 cSt and an emulsifier, polyethylene glycol lauric acid ester were added to 5 parts of γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane and 6 parts of dibutyltin dilaurate emulsion (concentration of dibutyltin dilaurate was 20%); containing an emulsifier, sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate. After the mixture had been stirred, the emulsion was put in an aluminum dish. After the water had evaporated, the mixture was thermally cured at 150� C. for 10 minutes and a rubber film was obtained. This rubber film did not tend to foam, had a high tensile strength and could be suitably stretched. This rubber film was placed between two pieces of iron in a 60%-compressed state for 20 days. When the iron pieces were removed after 20 days, the rubber film could be easily separated from the iron plates. The results indicated that this rubber was suitable as a binder for gaskets and packings. In addition to the above experiment, thoroughly shredded asbestos fibers were put into the above-mentioned binder bath. After being thoroughly stirred, the excess emulsion was squeezed out to form a sheet. After the sheet was dried, it was thermally cured at 150� C. for 15 minutes. It was apparent that the asbestos fibers had been well bonded in the cured sheet since the sheet was sufficiently elastic and tough. There were also no problems in separating the material from the metal surfaces because the products were not sticky. The sheets thus proved to be suitable for gaskets and packings.
By the emulsion polymerization of cyclic tetramer siloxane, an α,ω-dihydroxydimethylpolysiloxane emulsion was obtained (concentration of polysiloxane was 35%, polysiloxane viscosity was 100,000 cSt); containing an emulsifier, sorbitan palmitate. 100 parts of this emulsion and 2 parts of γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, were added and thoroughly stirred with 15 parts of a methyltrimethoxysilane and 7 parts of zinc octanoate emulsion. The concentration of zinc octanoate was 20%; the emulsifier was sodium dodecyl sulfate. The mixture was diluted to prepare baths in which the silicone concentrations were 10%, 20% and 30%. Pieces of paper for gaskets and packings (thickness: 1mm; width: 200mm) were immersed in these baths for 10 minutes, and after being removed from the baths, they were dried in air for 10 minutes. Later they were thermally cured at 150� C. for 10 minutes. Next, the following measurements were made: the percentage of binder adhering, the tensile strength in the dried state and the tensile strength in the wet state. As a control example, an untreated piece of paper for gaskets and packings was subjected to the same tensile strength tests. Then, commercially available cellophane tape was applied to paper pieces separately prepared according to the procedures described above. The peeling strengths of these papers were measured.
As shown in Table II, the pieces of paper for gaskets and packings which had been treated with the silicone binder of this invention demonstrated a high wet tensile strength and a low peeling strength and proved to be suitable for gaskets and packings.
