Advantages: Three in one. Easy to apply. Good results.
Disadvantages: None
I'm not a make-up expert, although I have been using make up for years. When I was a teenager I would always apply make-up before going out to work and in fact didn't leave the house without wearing it. I would spend ages applying my make up before going out for the evening. I could sit in front of my dressing table mirror, brushes and palettes to hand, being my own make-up artist, and even having time to curl my hair. Then even when married I could arrange my day so that I still had some 'me time' until... I became a mum. Then things changed in a big way; one day my time was my own and then baby was born. All my time was devoted to my lovely, much wanted but demanding daughter. When I managed to get out of the house my clothes were quickly selected and make-up had to be speedily applied.
I remember finding it difficult to fit in anything for a while other than baby care. I suppose this is true of all new mums except some babies sleep longer than my first one did. On the rare occasions I went out for the evening (with baby) mainly to family occasions, my husband would take the baby for a while, but often I would hear, 'Are you finished? She needs feeding!" And, although I enjoyed being a mum right from the start I do admit that the biggest shock to me was the very limited time I now had for me.
So the beauty treatment had to be better managed and reduced in the length of time it took. I learned to apply everything much quicker and just had to hope that the glow of motherhood meant that I needed less make up.
And now those days have flown by and have no choice but to accept that I am a lady of mature years. I have more time on my hands but find I don't use so much time for 'me' things. I wear less make- up than I did in my youth and am much quicker in applying it. I tend to apply moisturiser and then find something to do whilst it absorbs. Next I sometimes apply foundation, or pressed face powder, followed by and depending on how made up I want to be; eyebrow pencil, mascara, blusher, face powder and lip-gloss. But this tends to be if going somewhere special; more often than not I am rushing to go shopping or off on some trip or other in the car (as a passenger) and if this is an early morning journey then I am quite often known to apply some of my make up at home and then when I find I'm running late I complete the task in the car. Trouble is, sometimes I'm required to be the map reader and this can interfere somewhat with my make-up appliance.
For the reason that I often finish my make-up in the car I find it's handy to have a concealer in my make-up bag. I often look in the mirror and see I need to use a concealer in one or two places. This is to complete my make up when wearing foundation or because I want a much lighter look, so will use concealer on any blemishes, and finish off with a little face powder. Really I am more often likely to use the concealer than full foundation.
In my younger days concealer was generally only used as a stick which looked like a lipstick. I found this was okay if I managed to get a pale enough shade and had a biggish area to cover but it wasn't so good for just using on one or two small areas. Also it was often a bit dry and not that easy to cover while achieving a natural effect. I noticed that my teenage daughter had a concealer which was liquid and, instead of the usual sponge tip, in fact had a thin brush. When she wasn't looking I had a go and was impressed with the results. The trouble was though that the brand name had worn off so I had quite a search for this. I didn't actually find it but instead found a similar product in Superdrug by Collection 2000. I decided to purchase this.
The Collection 2000 Illuminating Touch Concealer, I believe comes in three shades. I thought that the shade called 'naked' and numbered as '1' was the best choice for my pale skin. I often have trouble finding a shade to suit my skin tone with foundation, face powders and concealers. However, this colour seems to be to be a good match.
The other colours available are 'natural' and 'glow'. Glow looks to be the darker shade.
I saw that the idea of the Illuminating Touch Concealer is that it is a three in one item of make-up. Now that's always handy if requiring a concealer to carry around as this means less space is taken in ones make up bag or even at home on the dressing table. The idea is that the concealer will give a 'quick fix' touch as it can correct (hide really) blemishes such as spots or scars and similar while managing to highlight areas and illuminate with one touch. I had also heard that the light illuminator was good for older skin tones. Well, surely then this was worth a try for these reasons:
As a good concealer for my skin, with light illuminating properties.
Handy to carry around as one item of make-up could do three jobs.
A reasonable price.
Illuminating effect might help to make me look younger!
Quick and easy to apply, especially owing to the fine brush tip.
Now I mainly wanted a concealer with a brush tip so that I could experiment with, rather than a stick or sponge. I find sponge tips quite good but his method of application is even better. Well, I've always liked to paint so what better way to cover small imperfections (not saying all my imperfections are small!) than a fine brush with the correct colour paint?
The idea of this is now quite a popular one and is included in many foundations and suchlike, especially those aimed at the more mature skin. The idea of the light illuminator is that the concealer has light diffusing particles within which the light is spread, which in turn will soften fine lines and blemishes. Well, I'm not sure about the science involved but would say that this covered with a natural look.
Now I'm not too bad on the wrinkle front. I believe my oily skin has greatly helped in this respect. True, I had my share of spots as a teenager and this continued into my twenties but I haven't stretch marks, or too many wrinkles-yet! But I know my skin obviously is aging and I have some broken capillaries here and there. Also on a bad day my eyes will have some dark circles under them.
Because the concealer is a good colour match and has a nice fine brush attached it does a great job in covering imperfections. I don't usually use it on dark areas under the eyes preferring to use a foundation if I feel my skin needs this extent of covering BUT for the sake of this review I have just used the concealer under one eye. I had to apply and then blend in under the eye and lightly run it across the fine lines I could see around my eye area. Well, I've got to say there is a difference and I believe that the side of my face I used the concealer on DOES now look younger than the other. I will definitely now choose to use this around my eye area, if not wanting to use foundation. I think it's ideal to use before an application of face powder.
It also has pigments enriched with silicone to make the look flawless and long lasting.
For covering those smaller imperfections find the brush works excellently and it's easy if required to blend in with finger tips.
This is also great to cover red areas. It's good to cover sunburn too although I tend a darker has for this. I will take a concealer in the 'glow' shade to use on my next holiday as I think it will prove ideal and light to pack as well as being very space saving. For covering redness you need to squeeze as small amount from the tube and apply with the brush and probably finish by blending with fingertips. If you are good with the brush then you may prefer to only use that.
One problem that I 'thought' I had with this make-up was too dry or had run out. Silly me! I had kept looking at the base of the tube thinking there was a ridge there for decorative purposes only. I happend to complain to my daughter that this make up had run out far too quickly and then she took hold off it, turned the base, and then the liquid make- up was released!
The container has the appearance and is of similar size to as stick lip gloss pen. It takes only a little amount of room in a make-up bag or handbag.
I purchased the concealer form Superdrug at the price of, £4.99.
It is also available at Boots the chemist for the same price and, of course, the added bonus when bought here of advantage points. I believe that this purchase equates to 16 points.
I am very pleased with his purchase. Now that I have seen the good effect it had on dark circles/areas under the eyes, I will be using it more. I feel for holidays in the sun, I could take this and perhaps a face powder, and wouldn't need to bother with a foundation.
Summary: A must have make-up item

Sunderland 1 - 2 Chelsea
Juan Mata starred on his full debut as Chelsea cruised past a toothless Sunderland side despite a late scare.
John Terry's measured side-foot shot gave the Blues the lead after the hosts failed to clear their lines when Mata's free-kick hit the outside of the post.
Daniel Sturridge's sublime backheel finish when running through one on one with keeper Simon Mignolet made it 2-0.
Ji Dong-Won slotted home in injury time to give the Black Cats a glimmer of hope but Chelsea held on.
It was a nervy final few seconds but even the most diehard Sunderland supporter would have struggled to argue a draw would have been a fair result.
Sturridge's outrageous effort when confronted by the onrushing Mignolet was the stand-out moment in an impressive Blues performance, but Mata's influence was the key to their victory.
The Spaniard was the creative hub of everything the Blues did, demanding the ball at every opportunity and giving a dazzling display, full of one-touch football, neat passes and crucially, a telling final ball.
Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas has openly talked of the need to inject more pace and creativity and Mata granted his wish, playing with urgency and sparking off all that was good about the visitors as they secured a third win in four league games.
Deadline-day signing Raul Meireles was as influential as his fellow midfielder, setting up Sturridge's goal with a fine long pass, but it was Mata who caught the eye.
Chelsea and Mata started brightly but Sunderland striker Nicklas Bendtner had the first chance of the game only to glance his header wide from a teasing Sebastian Larsson free-kick.
Jonathan Pearce BBC Match of the Day commentator"Chelsea have for so many years been Drogba and Lampard-based and there is a subtle style change going on behind the scenes. They weren't at their best but it was the best they have played this season and they didn't need to get out of third gear because Sunderland were poor "
Apart from that effort - and a Stephane Sessegnon strike that was beaten away by the returning Petr Cech late in the half - Chelsea dominated the first period.
Nicholas Anelka smashed a shot wide after a swift break and also tested Mignolet with a fierce shot, while Ramires curled a shot wide after a powerful surge.
But it was defender Terry who opened the scoring, coolly finishing at the second attempt from Sturridge's excellent cross as Chelsea kept the pressure on after Mata's strike hit the woodwork.
Any hopes of a Sunderland revival seemed over as Sturridge, preferred up front to £50m man Fernando Torres, made it 2-0 six minutes after break.
The game petered out somewhat after that, although substitute Florent Malouda and Anelka both had chances to extend the lead.
Sunderland lacked pace up front and could have done with a nippy forward like the departing Asamoah Gyan to partner Bendtner.
The Dane typified the home side, showing plenty of endeavour but they looked powerless to prevent a second consecutive home defeat as Chelsea went on to record their 13th win in 14 games against the Black Cats despite Dong-Won's last-gasp effort.
Sunderland manager Steve Bruce:
"It was very difficult against a very good Chelsea team. They had terrific possession of the ball and we spent that much energy trying to get it back. They were excellent in possession of the ball. We will play against lesser teams than that thankfully.
"When we had it, we gave it away too cheaply and that made for a very difficult afternoon.
"But for all their possession both their goals were poor from our point of view."
Chelsea manager Andre-Villas Boas:
"It went very well for us in terms of what we want to achieve, not that we haven't tried to do it before, but it just didn't happen in the other three games.
"Fortunately, we were able to play the passing game that relates more to how we train, and the team played very, very well. I am very happy with the display.
"The 2-1, of course, is avoidable and that brought an edge to the last three minutes, but we can only say that Chelsea deserved to win and we were very consistent in the first and second halves.
"I am very happy with the efforts of everybody."

Farmland Value Rising, Farmers Happy
By Elli Davis, November 3, 2011
Farm on the Edge of Chesapeake Bay
by Ben Longstaff
Do you have your portfolio of condos, lofts, and luxury houses but still want to include more properties? Maybe it is time to consider investing in farmland, as Farm Credit Canada suggests.
According to FCC, farmland value has been rising steadily all across Canada, led by Prince Edward Island, followed by Saskatchewan and Ontario. Farmland prices have increased by 2.1% per year on average. In the most expensive area, Holland Marsh/Bradford (north of Toronto), you can be asked to pay over $20,000 per acre, while the cheapest farmland can be purchased in New Liskeard in Northern Ontario, with prices starting around $1,300 per acre.
The reason for such a price increase is mainly the rising price of commodities and a tight inventory. While the average farm size tripled in the last 50 years, the overall number of farms is falling: there were 2,500 fewer farmers in 2006 than in 2001, in Ontario alone.
Farmers account for only 5 per cent of farm owners, so there is a large potential. Investors are active in the Western Canadian market, but the Ontario market is slowly awakening from its long sleep.
Some investors may even decide eventually to become real farmers. According to the FCC survey, 80 per cent of current farmers would recommend a farming career to a friend or family member.

Reviews summary
Based on
4 reviews
In today's Android smartphone-filled world, it's getting harder and harder to find products that can bring something unique to the table. Many of today's latest models use the same form factors, come with the same features, and run the same types of software. This makes it difficult to find anything that has any truly distinguishing characteristics over the competition.
Enter the LG Optimus Elite, an ordinary-looking handset that boasts all the most important features you could ask for in a smartphone and a handful of extras that make it a little special. Though it may not look like it, it's actually eco-friendly, and comes pre-loaded with Google Wallet plus 50GB of free Box online storage.
The Optimus Elite comes in the handy bar form factor and features a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen display, 5MP autofocus camera with built-in flash, 1GB internal storage, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. According to the official spec sheet, its standard 1,520 mAh battery lasts up 7.3 hours of talk time. That gives users plenty of time to enjoy its support for CDMA networks and EV-DO Rev. A data.
Some may fault the Optimus Elite for not having a speedier processor or support for 4G LTE, but the truth is that it's a pretty good handset overall, especially if you consider the fact that it ships with a bunch of useful extras. It may not quite live up to its name in terms of actual hardware and software features, but what's important is that it will not disappoint.
Need to Know: LG Optimus Elite
1. Pre-loaded with Google Wallet and comes with 50GB of free Box storage. (The Good)
2. Long battery life. (The Good)
3. Runs an older version of Android. (The Bad)
4. Boring design and non-impressive build quality. (The Bad)
Reviews (7/10 Avg. rating)
It's no more than an average Android phone with a less than elite design
The LG Optimus Elite succeeds at the basic while throwing in a few extras like Google Wallet and Visual Voicemail. Camera quality is quite good. The LG Optimus Elite packs a couple of interesting extras, but at its core it's no more than an average Android phone with a less than elite design.
A reasonable amount of smartphone power in an earth-friendly package.
For $29.99, the LG Optimus Elite gets you a reasonable amount of smartphone power in an earth-friendly package. It isn't a bad choice, but it's running on specs from over a year ago. It faces stiff competition from more powerful phones at equally affordable prices. The Optimus Elite is okay if you want... More
Green, eco-friendly, and price conscious, the LG Optimus is certainly a budget phone
The LG Optimus Elite certainly continues the trend of affordable Android devices that the Optimus S introduced. Unfortunately, unless it gets some extreme developer support (like it's predecessor), this phone is destined to sit at the bottom of the clearance rack, while all the newer, faster, less environmentally... More
A worthy successor to the Optimus S
The Optimus One line of phones set the bar for entry-level Android devices, and the Optimus Elite is a worthy successor to the Optimus S. It improves on the winning formula in just about every category, and while it may have shortcomings it is still the entry level phone to beat in our opinion. It is... More
Darn, there are no reviews yet for this phone.

I'm not really impressed. One can only dream and hope of ever "living green." The majority of us do not have financial resource to make such a major commitment. I would love "live green." But to be able to afford such a house comparable in size and accessories that I have now, makes it cost prohibitive. As Amber said in post #5, she can only afford to buy energy efficient light bulbs. That is just about what I can afford to do. It will have to do. The government, Federal and State. will need to get deeply involved with this issue.

Don't watch it, really, I'm not kidding
By Tim Turner from Manchester , 30 May 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
You probably won't find anyone with a kind word for this garbage. It is rubbish, but like all Fulci movies, it's a bit like a car accident you can't quite resist slowing down to look at, only to feel completely sick when you do. After all, the master of spaghetti gore gives you all of Italian Horror Cinema's most popular wares - ghastly penetrative violence, horrendous dubbing, a totally inappropriate disco soundtrack and an almost pathological obsession with decay and blood, plus lots of close-ups of wounds and severed heads for connoisseurs. It doesn't even try to make sense. For example, why does the saucy babysitter clean up after the zombie cellar tenant, and how long did it take her to perfect the bizarre snarl she gives the hero when she is trying to open the cellar? And most of all, if the killer is so slow-moving, how come none of his victims manages to get away from him? No matter how fun bad movies sound in the abstract, ten minutes of this will cure you. It's just bad.- Was this review helpful to you?

I think I must have missed something
By TheWatchman (751 reviews) from Suburbia , 05 Feb 2013The House by the Cemetery is a classic. Apparently. Now, let me start by saying that Im a big fan of so bad theyre good movies. Normally, these are horror films, preferably made in the seventies and eighties (think Dario Agentos Demons 1 and 2). So, I like to think I approached The House by the Cemetery in the right frame of mind. I knew it would be old fashioned. I knew it would be dubbed and I knew it would have pretty awful dialogue. Yet still I failed to see what all the hype was about. Yes, it scores points for being nicely gory, but thats about it. Currently, we movie-buffs like to pour scorn on Hollywoods obsession with remaking every vaguely famous film from yesteryear. However, in my opinion, this is one film thats crying out for a remake. It was too old fashioned, even for me. I know this is really trivial, but I just couldnt bring myself to get past the incredibly bad haircuts, fashion sense and seriously awful dubbing to actually enjoy this film. I know I should have been able to look past that, but I couldnt. About the scariest thing about this film is the main child. Hes seriously weird-looking and, not only that, but they chose to dub his voice with that of an adult trying to sound like a child. It only made it weirder. Too many beards. Too little action. If anyone can please explain to me what Im missing, drop me a line. I would give it one star, but the levels of gore (and scene with the bat on a string which made me laugh), Ill up the overall mark to two.- Was this review helpful to you?

A little gem!
By CHRISTOBEN (131 reviews) from Loughborough , 14 Oct 2012Lucio Fulci was a genius! This is not his best film but compared to the recent crop of torture porn and pointless and forgetful horror remakes, this little gem is vastly superior in every respect. It has loads of atmosphere, (helped by a great sound track) and an almost surreal feel - like THE BEYOND and CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD it is thin on plot but comes across as something that nightmares are made of. Ignore other reviewers and give it a chance!- Was this review helpful to you?

B for bad
By a customer , 06 Jul 2012This has to be one of the worse films I have ever seen. The acting was so wooden & effects so awful it gave B movies a great name.

the FABRIKRelease Date:
Unique in its gameplay, Lunarcy is more than a simple action game. It's an arcade type, puzzle orbit simulation game. Yes, all of that! Challenging and wonderful!Editor Rating
An iPhone app that's truly challenging, Lunarcy has become one of my favorite games. This is partially due to realistic physics that change with each level, the multitude of levels available, and joyous glee wheezing from my inner nerd.
Lunarcy is an arcade, puzzle orbit simulation game. Yes it's a mouthful, and yes it takes iPod Touch games up a notch. The juxtaposition between retro-inspired graphics and the realistic pull of gravity lead me to want more, and I can have more! There are almost 50 levels in Lunarcy. Each allows you to attain a high score within it, then try again and again to better your score. At first I was apprehensive, but soon found that unlike many other games, this one began to stump me early on, but it is not impossible.
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself (calming the astronaut ambition of my childhood).
The Goal of the Game
Each level has a different goal, but many are similar. Usually the point is to take off from the surface of a planet (with altering degree of gravity – so you're always adjusting your gameplay style), meet a space station orbiting the planet by connecting with either end of it, and safely land back on the planet.
The goals are very simple, but some of these levels take such strategy that I can't believe how many times I attempted them. Addiction orbits this game as I found five or six tries not uncommon. I think the most addictive part is that you are able to see marked progress with each attempt at reaching your goal. Psychologically this grabs me, letting me think that maybe I'm not so bad afterall and I keep trying despite my better judgement to interact with real life (this gets into a whole new philosophical realm surrounding mobile gaming and ironic disconnect that I won't go into here).
Where Lunarcy Takes Off
- Number of levels and the challenging spectrum they cover
- Overall design of game
- Ability to Retry a level with no negative effect
Lunarcy is intelligently designed. Even the music is interactive as it changes depending on your proximity to a planet as well as your fuel supply. I love feeling you get as you are somewhere between free fall and learning to control your flight while running on binary fumes.
Here's my moment of honesty: I need a game that lets me retry. Being a perfectionist, I want to be able to do it right, not just do it. I know that I'm in the minority here on this one, but the option that Lunarcy includes to Retry really let me master a level as I went. Of course, my scores were infrequently spectacular, but Lunarcy allowed me stressfree challenging gameplay. I figure, why do I need stress in a game if I'm using this to get away from my stress, right?
Where Lunarcy Runs out of Fuel
- Running out of fuel
Yes, this is part of the challenge of the game, but some of the levels I just cannot do with my limited reserves. You do have the option to refuel in some levels that are a bit more robust in what they ask of you, but there are some that are "simpler" where the solution alludes me.
The Bottom Line
Grab it! This game will grow on you. I continually rediscover my love for it. It's worth every cent.

A nationwide study could provide answers about the causes and risk factors for different types of cancer. The research is being conducted by the American Cancer Society and they are looking for people who can help. Our Melissa Kakareka explains how it works and what impact it could have on the future.
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Nancy Graver was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease 16 years ago. She is a cancer survivor. "I went through radiation treatment and chemo and I'm here to say you can make it too," said Graver.
The American Cancer Society is looking for volunteers to participate in its Cancer Prevention Study-3, which will help health officials better understand the lifestyle and environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer in patients.
About 150,000 people in the country have already signed up for the study since 2006. But officials are hoping to at least double the number of participants by the end of the enrollment period in December of 2013. "CPS3 holds the best hope of identifying new and emerging cancer risks and we can only do this if members of the community are willing to become involved," said American Cancer Society Strategic Health Alliances Director.
CPS3 is the third study of its kind. Two similar cancer prevention studies have previously helped confirm evidence such as the link between cigarette smoking and cancer as well as the link between obesity and cancer.
Researchers will use data from CPS3 to build upon evidence from those studies. "From a scientific standpoint, we need this kind of data. It will help us prevent cancer in the future and it will also help us anticipate cancer in people who have had environmental exposures," said Dr. James Hayes of United Health Services Hospitals.
The study is open to men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer. Participants will fill out a basic questionnaire and provide a waist measurement and blood sample when they enroll. They will fill out follow-up surveys for the next 20 to 30 years.
"The process itself was quite easy. We had to fill out a lot of questions about our lifestyle and environment and things like that, but it wasn't onerous, it was just a lot of questions," said CPS3 participant Leslie Kannus.
The answers to those questions could have a major impact on understanding cancer prevention and risk in the future.

No less healthy than Jam and butter
Not sure what everyone is going on about on here about how healthy or not healthy Nutella is. Nutella is a yummy chocolate spread for spreading on things - just like butter and jam, and contains no more saturated fat than a spreading of a combination of the two. Seriously, just enjoy it as part of a balanced diet!

ok its delicious but its also mostly refined sugar and oil, the "can be a healthy breakfast option because its got hazlenut in it" just 13% btw is really irritating-enough to stop me buying it...almost...but cant quite resist!..

Since I updated the driver for Matrox Mini / Max to 7.0.2 I now have no audio output for Adobe CS6 Premiere Pro. Levels are showing up on the audio meter, and the ASIO settings appear to be normal. Did Matrox switch up something. I thought I would ask here. (I exported file and audio is there...so this is just an output connection problem.)
The audio is normally routed through Realtek Digital Output Optical, which is working (audio works with other software.) Adobe ASIO is set to this working output.
I am thinking the Matrox install switched the setting...but thought I would ask here on the Adobe Forum first to see if there is a solution. Since it is a Saturday. Thanks.
Bravo. That worked. Thanks for your help.
Is this a new setting in CS6. Wouldn't it be wise for the "audio" settings to all be under "audio settings." I think it would be wise not to have two or three settings that say "AUDIO" but the one setting that you need to HEAR audio - is "not" under the "Audio" setting.
Perhaps they will change this. I am a college graduate, with 30 years in the audio video business... and I should not have to spend so much time looking, seeking, asking.
Thanks for your help. It worked!
Glad to be of help!
Yes, they have changed things with CS6.
Matrox's hand was forced by the changes made in Premiere. There are all sorts of settings that are now in different places.
This setting is obviously not covered by the Premiere help files, as it is not a Premiere setting. It is not as clear as it should be in the Matrox User Guide, either. Page 53 is as near as it gets, and that only tells you how to get the audio output through the MXO2. You have to infer that for output via sound card, you choose the other setting. Not good!

I'm writing this at 2:06 p.m. as I ward off an attack of the yawns and a strong urge to curl up under my desk for a nap. Sadly, my stack of bills dictates that I put in a few more hours of work. But that doesn't mean I have to slog through the rest of the afternoon, half-awake.
According to Chinese medicine, the kidneys are a major source of qi, or vital energy. It makes sense from a Western perspective, since the adrenal glands, source of the heart-racing hormone adrenaline, sit right on top of the kidneys. The biggest energy point associated with the kidneys is in the middle of your back, where your thoracic spine (the middle back) meets the lumbar spine (the low back). The thoracic spine ends where your lowest bottom rib attaches to the spine, an inch or so below your bra line. (I don't mean to exclude any men in our midst I'm fairly certain you know where the bra goes even if you don't have your own personal bra line. Right?)
This particular spot is important because it's where the spinal column branches out into a lot of smaller nerves, making it an important link between the upper and lower bodies. If you can stimulate this spot, you increase your energy and get it circulating throughout the entire body. The simplest way to do this is to twist the spine at just this spot. And a swiveling office chair makes this incredibly easy.
I learned this tip from Danny Dreyer (chirunning.com), the author of ChiRunning and ChiWalking. He's a great source for ways to turn everyday activities, like walking and running, into opportunities to become healthier, more relaxed, and more aware of your body. Check him out!
Ready, Set, Swivel
You need an office chair with a rotating seat to do this; otherwise these directions will be mighty confusing.
- Sitting up tall in your office chair, scooch back so that you can just hold on to the edge of your desk with your outstretched arms.
- Pick your feet up off the floor.
- Keep holding on to the desk with your arms relatively straight so that your upper body stays facing forward and begin swiveling your lower body and the chair seat to the right and left.
- You dont have to do any fancy breathing; just make sure youre not holding your breath.
- Continue for about a minute.
Of course, you dont have to reserve this exercise for the mid-afternoon blahs. You can use it any time you need to perk up. Perhaps it can even help you avoid that extra coffee or doughnut you tend to crave when your energy levels start to dip.

In times of disaster, journalism becomes more crucial than ever. Journalists are necessary to relay information about safety and investigate responsibility.
Recognizing this, the UN recently published a manual, Disaster Through a Different Lens, for journalists covering disasters. The guide is 189 pages long and focuses heavily on disaster prevention, as disaster risk reduction is a "national obligation and a good story".
The first half of the guide is informational and summarizes the scope of disaster prevention, but reads a bit like a high school textbook. It summarizes the Hyogo Framework for Action, a plan of preparedness for disasters that countries the world over have agreed to implement. However, much of the advice it dispenses is general and would be better served if given to a government official than a journalist, such as "plan for land use" and "organize drills". However, the information could prove useful when investigating government preparedness or failure in future disasters.
The second half addresses the media's role in disaster reporting. Jonathan Baker, who until 2010 was the deputy head of newsgathering for the BBC, includes a piece about the media's responsibility. He divides the reporting into phases, from the "primary", in which the main objective is to disseminate information to raise awareness and detail where to find shelter, water, and food.
The next step includes detailing why. What caused the disaster, and could it have been prevented? This step is an important one, but only if it receives follow up to ensure that new measures have been taken. The media is important as a pressure on complacent governments. These are roles are the most commonly accepted by reporters.
The UN guide takes reporting a step further, explaining that Disaster Risk Reduction (DDR) should be a media priority. It likens the issue with smoking, the spread of HIV/AIDS, and preserving the environment, as the media had a significant sway in changing public opinions in these matters. The manual argues that disaster prevention could become the next buzz issue of the moment.
After the lengthy intro explaining the consequences of disasters, the guide finally addresses real steps editors and journalists can take to best cover a disaster. It includes some advice for editors, such as to have at least one "disaster" journalist on staff, and includes a checklist of questions for effective reporting. This section is surprisingly one of the shortest, but packs in a good platform for a thorough investigation. The last section of the manual includes examples of disaster reporting within the past decade as a basis for future disaster reporting.
The manual is heavily focused on risk prevention, and barely addresses the other role of journalism in trying times: to make sense of disaster. The Nepali Times published an article that stressed that disaster journalism "needs to go beyond the what, when, who, why, where and how of reporting". It is not just body counts and government responsibility, but also stories of human fortitude and compassion in the face of tragedy. These stories also construct the larger narrative of disaster aftermath, and are important to local and international communities alike. Perhaps the UN's disaster manual would do well to add one more chapter.
The manual is available online at http://www.preventionweb.net/files/20108_mediabook.pdf. For more information, see the UN-ISDR website: http://www.unisdr.org/we/inform/publications/20108.

Scandal, which returns from its winter break Thursday night, never behaved like a show that was serious about politics. Following the trials and triumphs of Olivia Pope, a high-profile D.C. crisis manager who is having an affair with the president, it touts all the ingredients of a primtetime soap: a beautiful cast, outlandish plotlines, snappy dialogue, and flashy scene changes. While Scandal's first season seemingly portrayed Washington as nothing more than a backdrop for steamy Oval Office sex scenes, its second season has sharpened its focus on political realities.
Many Washington locals may roll their eyes at Scandal's dubious conspiracies, overwrought mysteries, and a D.C. climate that is perpetually sunny (the show is actually filmed in Los Angeles). But at the very least, the show has started acknowledging that politics, in fact, sometimes occur in the White House, folding governance and partisan power-plays into its melodramatics.
[RELATED: How a PR Maven Turned Scandal Into a Success]
Scandal's second season began with President Fitzgerald Grant struggling to take a stand on civil war in East Sudan, a Syria-esque humanitarian situation that has raised calls for U.S. intervention. As the season throttled forward, controversies that were more policy-oriented than their first season predecessors emerged: An alleged government conspiracy to spy on its citizens touched on privacy issues; slimy oil lobbyist twisted arms for favorable energy legislation; and a massive election fraud operation conducted by the president's campaign is now poised to see the light of day. The previews for this season's second act suggest torture will be the next stone unturned by Pope & Associates, as one of Olivia's colleagues is detained and falsely accused of an assassination attempt on the president.
Of course, each of these plotlines is more outrageous and far-fetched than the last, and come amidst the more frivolous business of congressional sex scandals, disgruntled boyfriends, and CIA spies gone wild. But their existence—in addition to the racy twists and turns that dominated Season 1—signals that Scandal is willing to at least dip into such contentious matters, shifting the focus from Olivia's attempts to clean up her clients' PR messes to the political issues that create the messes in the first place.
It may seem obvious that a show set in Washington about a political "fixer," her president boyfriend, and his administration would deal with actual politics—albeit a fantastical version of them. But consider this: Contemporaries of Scandal also set in the capital's political chambers have gone out of their way to avoid talking about politics. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, star and co-producer of the cynical HBO satire Veep, said her title character's political party will never be revealed. Jon Lovett, writer and co-creator the new NBC family comedy 1600 Penn also said his show wouldn't be diving into partisan politics. Even Parks and Recreation's jaunts in Washington this season were notably bipartisan in nature—or at least in its cameo selections.
In Scandal's first season, any policy issues was merely white noise to the louder, sexier gossip at hand—President Grant's Republican Party affiliation was an afterthought, mentioned when his chief of staff cracked jokes about being a gay man in a GOP administration. In the second season, the exact political contours of President Grant's administration have crystallized. He is a moderate Republican who had to bring on a hard-right evangelical as vice president to woo Christian conservatives, who in turn, is enraged that the president appointed a liberal justice to the Supreme Court.
Furthermore, Scandal makes plot fodder out of the pettier, partisan nature of politics. As a favor to Olivia, the president endorses one Democrat so that his party rival (who happens to be Olivia's new beau) is anointed Senate majority leader, illustrating how one party will do exactly the opposite of what the other party's leader asks them to do.
But while Scandal relishes the ugly side of politics, its cast suggests an admirable diversity among its power players. Olivia Pope—once a top spokesperson and strategist for the president and still arguably the most powerful woman in Washington—is both African-American and female (her race is never brought up as an issue, leading some critics to call Scandal a "post-racial fantasy"). The diversity trickles down throughout President Grant's team of rivals and the rest of Scandal's universe: Grant's aforementioned gay chief-of-staff, his female vice president (who is also the show's chief antagonist, making Scandal equal opportunist even in its villainy), his female Supreme Court justice pick, a female Attorney General, and a black Senate majority leader.
[READ: How an Obama Speechwriter Is Making It in Hollywood]
By comparison, the last "serious" White House drama on network TV, The West Wing, featured a (Democratic) administration that was largely white and male. Only one main female character, C.J. Craig, claimed a top job while the others were relegated to secretary and staffer positions. Charlie, its most prominent African-American, was merely the president's body man.
As critics have noted, last summer's Political Animals made similar strides in depicting diversity—particularly women—in power. But that show failed to gain the audience to be picked up for a second season. Perhaps, Scandal has escaped Political Animals' fate by delivering its political medicine with heaping servings of soap opera-y sugar. Homeland, which also dealt with prickly issues in foreign policy and national security, has many critics worried (myself included) that the show has reached the melodramatic point of no return with the second season's bad-romance-novel storylines.
Scandal will never have to worry about being too sensational to be believable as it has always operated under the pretense of a guilty pleasure, not a civics lesson. If Scandal's second season has proven anything, it's that a show can be at least semi-serious about politics without being a very serious show at all.
Scandal returns Thursday, January 10, at 10 p.m. on ABC.

Bus services to be cut
7:00am Thursday 22nd August 2013 in News By Hannah White
PROPOSED changes to bus services in Dorset are set to hit residents in rural areas of Wiltshire.
Dorset County Council is proposing to make significant reductions in the funding it provides for buses from January next year.
Changes to the 59/158 service from Mere to Gillingham and Shaftesbury will see the weekend service cut. Local councillor George Jeans said cutting the bus services in Mere is "creating a vicious circle".
"It becomes impossible for people to live here without a car so fewer people use the bus service, so they take it away. They need to do something to attract people to use the buses," he said.
"Mere is supposed to be a sustainable settlement but people still need to get out of the town to shop or see relatives; we still need public transport."
Dorset County Council also plans to replace the 183/4 Salisbury Reds service from Salisbury to Blandford, which stops at Coombe Bissett and Sixpenny Handley.
The service currently operates several buses a day, every day, but changes will see it replaced with a new 20 service, operated by Damory, offering three full return trips a day from Monday to Friday.
The weekend service will be cut altogether. Sixpenny Handley Parish Council says the proposals are "atrocious" and it is encouraging residents to voice their concerns to the council.
Ian White, head of service passenger transport at Wiltshire Council, said: "Although we will seek to influence the proposals so that the needs of Wiltshire residents are taken into account, the funding for this service is currently provided by Dorset and as Wiltshire Council's budget is under great pressure there is regrettably likely to be a limit on what we can achieve in this respect. "We are aware of the importance of an earlier journey into Salisbury arriving at around 8.20am and will be discussing this with Dorset."
Spencer Flower, leader of Dorset County Council, said: "We are keen to understand the individual impacts that the changes will have. We can then look to helping with community initiatives in the highlighted areas that can provide residents with a better, tailored service that fits their needs.
"Many of the rural buses have very little usage and we have had to look at ways of providing a better value for money service by empowering local groups to work together. In all parts of Dorset there have been successes with Neighbourcar and Dial-a-car schemes that offer residents a bespoke service."
