R&D Sponsored by
Normal, dry, oily, sensitive, combination. There is a science behind understanding a person's skin type, just as there is a science behind beauty product formulation and development. Consider the thousands of ingredients to choose from, the competitive nature of cosmetics, and the growing consumer demands—the market is more complex than ever.
Custom and private-label contract manufacturers such as CoValence Laboratories can help beauty brand owners and marketers navigate this complexity. With an ability to formulate, produce, fill and now test high-end, cutting-edge skin care products, CoValence continues to look for ways to help its brand partners—including how to be faster. In order to do so, it looks to collaborations with partners such as Celsis International, a company that develops rapid microbial detection systems.
With its OTC formulations built from scratch and based on specific requirements—i.e., natural colors, no animal testing, active botanicals, paraben-, phthalate-, sulfate- and gluten-free— CoValence's process involves the selection and combination of an array of ingredients.
"We love science—the science behind skin care and the science behind how we measure what we do," says Peter Vlcek, COO and vice president of operations at CoValence. "In terms of what's going to be the next big thing in skin care, we don't wait to hear what new ingredients our clients want us to use. We come up with our own ideas."
Investment in equipment is also something contract manufacturers such as CoValence do to continue their leadership as nimble industry partners. "We have several pieces of equipment in R&D that help speed up launches," says Melinda Wochner, CMO and vice president of marketing at CoValence. "And we tell all our new customers that we use the Celsis rapid method to give them faster turnaround."
But it wasn't always that way. Traditional microbiological product testing takes about five days to confirm the absence of contamination. Add at least another day if, like CoValence once did, you send your product samples to an outside testing lab. That is six days of wait time and overhead added to the manufacturing cycle. And that additional time requirement is something a brand owner must weigh in considering the development and launch of products.
Increases in disposable income and new consumers in emerging markets are two of the factors leading to the growth in global demand for beauty products over the next five years, according to IBISWorld's 2013 Global Cosmetics Manufacturing Market Research report. Transparency Market Research also estimates projected growth to reach $19.2 billion by the year 2015 in the global cosmetic and toiletries market, largely due to new distribution channels such as online retail.
Meanwhile, increasing regulatory requirements, extended delivery times, higher ingredient costs and quality pressures continue to create a must for companies to adopt more efficient product release testing. Traditional microbial test methods requiring an average five-day wait time for results may not be the appropriate option in some cases.
With a growing international presence, CoValence wanted to reduce its product turnaround time to be competitive overseas. It recognized the value of faster product release to meet such increased global demand.
"We make products to order, so if a client needed a product quickly, we'd hurry and make it," Vlcek explains. "Then we'd be on the phone to tell them that we could deliver it, but they couldn't sell it yet. To lose an extra five to seven days in turnaround time while waiting for test results was a real pain."
To combat this, CoValence considered bringing micro testing in house, but realized this would save only a day or two by not having to send samples to a contract testing lab.
"I looked at things in terms of the theory of constraints," says Vlcek, referring to a management improvement method of finding simple solutions to complex problems. "It's all about identifying the bottlenecks. In our case, we would make the product quickly, but then it would sit in our warehouse for six days," he explains.
In the case of a contamination, it was even worse. "Everyone's been there—when there's an incident and you need to tell the customer that their product won't be ready for another week. We could make it, but then we still had to hold it for testing again. I wanted to make it on a Wednesday and ship it on a Friday instead of having to hold it over the weekend and lose all that time," he says.
Vlcek continues, "I did a lot of research and Celsis kept coming up. From my perspective, the rapid method had to be reliable, and I needed to understand how it works. Celsis made the most sense in terms of what it offered. We knew we had to implement it for our own business, because we analyzed what we were spending on outsourcing our testing."
CoValence decided to adopt a Celsis Rapid Detection system to save time without sacrificing quality and safety. Compared to outsourcing its micro testing with a contract lab, Celsis was able to save CoValence five days of hold time, providing the confirmation needed to release product in about 24 hours.

Head and Neck Cancer
Lump on Base of Skull, Other Odd Sypmtoms
I have been having an issue with a lump the size of the end of my finger on the left side of my neck right at the haire inle approx. 1 inch from the spine. the lump has been present for 8-10 months. It is very firm, painless, and does not move when touched. I also have at the same time had night sweats, which have produced a very unusual symptom. Where I lay, and the areas that sweat produce a pink color. If I wear a white colored shirt to bed, and I sweat, it will be very pink by morning. Also, the sheets have turned quite pink where I lay at night. To add to this, I also note that sweating during the day produces the same issue. I am currently unemployed, and have no insureance, thus no visist to an M.D. has occured. I am quite frighted by this enlarging lump, and the issues going with it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Pierre Lavertu, MD, FRCS(C), FACS
There is no doubt that a lump present for more than a few weeks should be evaluated by a physician. I am not sure what to make of your colored night sweat The location of the mass is not very suspicious but you still need to see a physician.

Box Score-2
SAINT LEO, Fla. – Despite collecting 17 hits in the doubleheader, the Saint Leo softball team (14-17) fell for the seventh consecutive time, dropping a pair of decisions to Peach Belt opponent Francis Marion University (14-17), Wednesday afternoon from University Field. In game one, the Lions' offense could not keep up with the Patriots as they fell 7-4. The trend continued in game two where they were upended 11-4. The losing streak is the Lions longest this season.
In the non-conference contest, Elysha Agen led the way with four hits, while Sarah Boyd 2-for-5 with her fifth home run. Brittany Yates registered three hits, including a pair of doubles and Jaime Walker compiled three RBI in a 2-for-6 performance from the plate. Dianne Gonzalez and Tiffinee Harvey also posted two doubles apiece and combined t score three runs. Danielle Moreda delivered a single, and freshman Alex Garris went 1-for-5 with a run scored in her collegiate debut.
Despite the offensive punch returning for the Lions; it was the Patriots who broke the ice plating a run on two hits in the top of the first inning to gain a 1-0 advantage. Yates made the best of her at-bat in the bottom of the second, connecting on a one-out double. After advancing to third on a sacrifice, the Lions' catcher scored on a wild pitch to tie the game.
Saint Leo took the lead away from Francis Marion in the fourth inning when Yates connected on her second double of the afternoon, driving in Harvey from second base.
The 2-1 lead was short lived, however, as the Patriots answered with six runs in the top of the fifth inning. The big blow came off the bat of Ashley Jaramillo, connecting on a two-run double.
Walker's two-run single in the bottom of the sixth cut the lead to three at 7-4, but it was not enough to push the Lions over the hump as they fell by the same score.
Walker picked-up the loss for SLU, allowing eight hits and six runs over 4.2 innings pitched. She now stands 4-4 for the season.
In game two, it appeared to be a reversal of fortunes as Saint Leo broke open a first inning 1-0 lead. Unfortunately, the second Patriots' six-run inning of the day quickly put the Lions at a five-run disadvantage. A two-out error extended the inning for Francis Marion which was once again capitalized by a Jaramillo two-run double.
Saint Leo tried chipping away at the lead, plating a run in the third inning as a Harvey double off the fence scored Ana Castillo from first base.
After the Patriots tacked on one more in the top of the sixth inning to make the score 8-2, the Lions pushed with one last late-innings gasp. After recording two quick outs, Boyd sent a solo shot over the centerfield fence. The home run was followed by a Gonzalez double and another RBI single by Walker to cut the lead in half, 8-4.
Francis Marion put the game out of reach in the seventh though, as three runs on four hits, headlined by a Jessica Birchmeier two-run double, catapulted the lead to eight, 11-4.
The score remained the same to the final pitch, as Francis Marion took their third game of the season of from the Green & Gold.
Saint Leo returns to action on Thursday, March 18 against Molloy College. First pitch for the doubleheader is set 1:00 p.m. at University Field.

Buying a home isn't easy, so we hosted a hangout with real estate experts to help you along on your hunt for a house and a mortgage.
Joining us were Greg McBride, CFA, and Senior Financial Analyst for Bankrate.com, and Herman Chan, a housing and lifestyle expert at HabitatforHermanity.com. He has appeared on all kinds of shows, including HGTV's "House Hunters."
These are the topics we tackled:
- How the government shutdown affects closings.
- Getting preapproved.
- Using tools like our mortgage app to determine your budget.
- How to vet agents.
- Price-shopping your mortgage.
- Hidden costs to be aware of.
Here are some of my favorite tips from the hangout:
- The Bankrate reader already knows that one of the first steps in the homebuying process is to get preapproved. But did you know that having two preapproval letters from different lenders can really help you stand out to sellers as a serious, qualified buyer? Just don't go too crazy getting more preapproval letters than you need, or your credit could take a hit from unnecessary inquiries.
- Would-be buyers who were frustrated this year from being outbid or beaten to the punch should consider trying again. The numbers and anecdotal reports show that the hot frenzy this summer has simmered to a more normal market. Twenty offers on a house may have been the norm in some markets a couple months ago, but that number has cooled down to a healthy four or five bids per house.
Have you bought a house recently, or did you give up trying?

Now before you go thinking I am comparing twilight characters or movies, let me first state that this is my first blog, ever, and I don't know what I am doing. I will mess up and my first few blogs may sound horrible, but I will work hard to make them at least captivating. Also try to remember I am a young teenage girl so things might sound mainstream and what not.
So what I meant by comparison was this: It's funny how we constantly try to examine our selves and compare ourselves to other people. Why does everyone do it? Including me? It only makes us more sad and never lets us feel better about our selves. We ask ourselves, "Am I pretty?" But no one knows because we all have our own definitions of beauty, whether it's appearances or our unique personalities. There is so much more to a person then their looks Example Rosalie, she is beautiful and has known that all her life, and yet her attitude is rude and she is self-absorbed, but deep down all she wanted was a nice life, a family to call her own, and a perfect ending. It's hard to go past what you hear and see, but you have to dig a little deeper. If you don't like wht you see in the mirror, get a different one, look a little harder, observe a little longer, because we are all beautiful somewhere at some point in our lives. I know people and movies make it seem that life is so easy, but it's not. And no one has said it would be.
And no matter how many time, I or the next girl wishes it was like the good old days where people where veiwed by inner beauty and treated right and sweetly, how we invision our life like The Notebook, we have to face the cold, hard, truth that life isn't fair. Life is short, but if you live it right, that's all the time you'll need.

By Cheryl Gentry
Founder and President of Glow Media
Cheryl is a serial entrepreneur, and she continues to look for new challenges and opportunities. The following is an excerpt from Cheryl's speech during the NY Metro Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge Finals.
"I'm really impressed. One of the reasons I wanted to be involved with NFTE is because of the creativity and energy of these young minds. It reminds me of my first entrepreneurial endeavor, but I will explain that later.
One of my favorite television shows is Inside the Actors Studio, the host asks "what's your favorite word." My favorite word is "sticktoitiveness." It suggests that there is a real effort in the quest to achieve your goal. Somehow, you know with that description, there will be bumps in the road and the need for determination and perseverance.
And, that's what you need to be an ENTREPRENEUR.
Did you know that most entrepreneurs are serial entrepreneurs; they have at least 2 or 3 businesses. Most people don't start business because they know how hard it is. But interestingly enough, that's why it's so many young superstars. The young don't understand the risk or if they do, they don't care, because they are young enough that it's not a problem. Most people wonder, are Entrepreneurs made or born? I say BOTH. Sure training, talent and the most elusive component, good timing are essential, but they are not enough. You need a TRUE PASSION for what you're doing.
And that brings me back to my 1st venture…
Back when I was in high school, there wasn't lyrics.com or metrolyrics.com, a lot of lyrics were actually on the album cover. At any rate, my sister and I would write the words to all the rap and hip hop songs make copies and sell them at school for 5 dollars a copy. We saw a need AND we filled a void. We had about 250 girls in my high school and we would sell approximately 200 copies per song. That's a $1,000 per song.
That's how most ventures start. Because if you thought you can make something better, believe me, someone else is thinking close to the same thing, but the entrepreneur will start the process. When your ideas can fill a void you have the goods to becoming an entrepreneur.
Like Sumner Redstone, CEO of Viacom, one of my hobbies is reading about entrepreneurs and their stories, their success and failures, but how they STICK TO IT. Did you know that Sumner Redstone changed the way we chose to attend movies? He's responsible for and invented the multiplex theater concept. Or take for example, the founder of AirBorne, the dietary supplement with vitamins. She was an elementary school teacher. Or the creator of SPANX, to help women understand shape-wear. Or Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Group, includes Virgin Air. His brand name arose when Branson and a partner were starting their first business, a record shop. They considered themselves virgins in the business. The current logo that you see was originally sketched on a paper napkin and remains largely unchanged since 1979. And we all know, Mark Zuckerberg.
To that point, most of these Entrepreneurs have one thing in common, they had mentors. Mentors believe in you. They sometimes question you, but they always support you.
Before I started Glow Media 14 years ago, I was Director of Promotions and Publicity at Boss and Girbaud. We planned a lot of parties and I started getting calls about who planned our fashion show or event. My mentors decided it was time for me to start my own business.
Now back to being a serial Entrepreneur; admittedly, I'm a serial entrepreneur. My second business while I was in undergrad was C&C Catering. My best friend and I loved food and loved cooking. The problem with that business was that my partner wanted to cater as a hobby, and I wanted to be the largest caterer in DC.
My 3rd business was Glitz Event Planning. So when my mentors said start your own business, I thought I could restore the Glitz Party Brand. But they told me, that I was going to be bigger than that. They helped me think beyond Events, and to incorporate PR, Promotions, Marketing, and Experiences to onsite engagement.
I want to share one of my favorite quotes. "If I had 8 hours to chop down a tree, I would spend 6 hours sharpening my knife." That quote is from Abraham Lincoln. One thing that quote implies, is that you don't want to waste your time chopping down a tree with a dull ax. It would take you all day. You must prepare yourself with the right tools. You must be equipped and think strategically how you can become successful. You must be adaptable. Did you know that Forbes recently published their 10 most STRESSFUL jobs? Event Planners and CEO's were on the list. So I have a double dose of stress, but I don't look at it that way. I love the deadlines, I love the accountability, I love coming in under budget. And I love people.
I wish all the students good luck. Thanks for allowing me to share my story.

Facing Up (Multimedia)
News & Events
How important are looks in an election? Do voters make judgments based on the trustworthiness of a candidate's appearance?
These questions and others are at the heart of a study currently being conducted by members of a student research group mentored by Dr. Elizabeth Spievak's, associate professor of psychology. The study extends work previously done by BSU student researchers.
The goal of the study is to examine how the strength of political ideals and political knowledge influence person perception, as measured by the classification of altered images of politician's faces and how those relationships are informed by the psychology of groups.
Click the image below to see and hear students Katherine Saucier, '12, and Lukas Klapatch, '14, discuss their research.
The findings are "just the latest evidence of how our attitudes influence our perception," Dr. Spievak said. "The camera does not lie, but our minds may."

A9 TV, 27 August 2011
What was the world population in the past? Fifty million at most, perhaps 100 million. Just the number of people who died in the Second World War was the total population of the world in those times he refers to as the past. The total population in what he refers to as the past is the number of those who died in the First World War, or the Second World War. In other words, not 10,000 or 100,000, or 200,000 or 300,000. And never has 99% of the world population been irreligious before. People have always been believers. Never after the time of our Prophet (saas) have 99% of people fallen into irreligion, Darwinism and materialism [as now].
He says that "the portents of Hazrat Mahdi (as) have not come about. May Allah grant the Master a long life. Even if he were to live for another 300-500 years and if the waters of the Euphrates were stopped once again after 500 years, if there were eclipses of the Sun and Moon at 15-day intervals, if two comets appeared, if hundreds of millions or a billion people died or were crippled, as in the Second World War, if Iraq and Afghanistan were occupied again, if an army vanished in the desert in line with the hadiths of our Prophet (saas), as happened to the Iraqi Army, if there were an attack on the Kaaba, and then if we went to the Master and said, "look, all the portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) have come about, just as described by our Prophet (saas), and one after the other, within the space of 30 years," he will still say, "The time is not yet."
I have listed all the portents according to the hadiths. Have they all come about? Yes, they have. Disorder has risen to the highest levels. And Muslims are being horribly slaughtered everywhere in the world. And Muslims are disunited for the first time. Muslims have never been this disunited before. And Muslims are leaderless for the first time. One billion people have been killed and martyred, one billion. And for the first time ever, 99% of people are irreligious, they have become Darwinists and materialists. Has that ever happened before? And all the portents of the comings of Hazrat Mahdi (as) have come about all together for the first time in 5,000 years.
When a person becomes mentally ill, Allah has taken their soul.Many of these are paranoid schizophrenics, and Allah has taken their souls, insha'Allah. Young men suddenly become schizophrenics, they die, insha'Allah. The way they walk and talk are all different. Allah has taken their souls from them. They live with a second "identity." Sometimes, very rarely, they get better. Allah thus restores their souls, insha'Allah.
What is Hazrat Mahdi (as) meant to do? To espouse Islamic Union. Do I espouse it? Yes. As a follower of Hazrat Mahdi (as). To eliminate materialism and Darwinism. Do I do that? Yes. Darwinism and materialism are a religion that now rule the world. It dominates all the world's universities, all official institutions – just about all – and all armies, with a very few exceptions. The great majority of the world's armies are Darwinist. Very few have been liberated from it. The way of the dajjal prevails in a way it never has before.
What is the way of the dajjal? Is it not the denial of Allah? Has denial of Allah ever been so widespread as to cover the whole world? No, never.
The dajjal has two important tasks. One is to kill people, to produce corruption, anarchy and terror. The second main task is to lead people toward irreligion. In fact, the dajjal's main task is to propagate irreligion. Has he done that, or not? Yes. Has the world ever been so atheist, irreligious, Darwinist and materialist? No.
"What the hadiths regarding the sufyan and Hazrat Mahdi (as) mean is this: irreligion will have two powerful movements in the End Times: The first is A HUGE, hypocritical INDIVIDUAL KNOWN AS THE SUFYAN who will deny the Path and Prophethood of our Prophet (saas) under the guise of discord (appearing to be a Muslim despite being an unbeliever) and will lead the hypocrites." Note that he does not say he will lead the irreligious. The greatest danger in the Muslim world is hypocrisy. False scholars, false clergy and false teachers will lead them. He will not lead the unbelievers, he will lead the hypocrites.
Iran and Turkey are friends. These are empty words. But of course it is again the way of the Mahdi that will eliminate this strife. Look, can you see the need for Hazrat Mahdi (as)? The collective personality is literally swamping the Islamic world. But it is not happening. It has to be Hazrat Mahdi (as). It will come to an end if Turkey and Iran unite. That will be the greatest alliance, because they are two regional super powers, in the Middle East. Then things will happen in a chain reaction. In particular, unity and an alliance between these two countries in particular will really enrage the unbelievers.
Some of our brothers want the prime minister to be friends with everyone. Nobody can bear such stress. It is too hard. "I have a friend, how about if you do this or that for them?" A million people like that would turn up. How can he do that? The alleged terror organization Ergenekon is putting pressure on from one direction, and others from other directions. A thousand things are going on. In that situation the only thing to do is provide good support, show affect, try to direct the spiritual backing of the nation and make it possible to act comfortably. For instance, some of our brothers say, "We were close once, but then he gave me the cold shoulder." What do you expect him to do? They want him to take an interest in all their doings, find jobs for their children… But then he could never do his own job. They should put themselves in his place. Impossible. It is a very hard job. Not everyone has the strength to do it, insha'Allah. It is a really stressful job, really hard. That is why everyone has to display compassion. It is wrong to make it a matter of pride and arrogance. Otherwise it is very hard.
Turkey's Daily Vakit is a very courageous and outspoken paper. There is no reason for doubt. It is a courageous paper that informs and enlightens people with reliable information. It fears Allah alone, and is completely honest. Its owner and his children and its employees are all very respectable. It uses a courageous language. And it always writes the truth. They write it bravely and forthrightly. That is why it has been the target for various sinister forces. They have been shot at and raided several times. Various things have happened. But they are still heroically going as strong as ever, insha'Allah.2011-09-30 20:11:44

Most of us are aware of vitamin supplements used by humans to support the immune system during times of stress or health challenges. The winter months and the prevalence of PRRS and Influenza create challenges to young pigs' immune systems. Vitamins can play an important role in supporting pig health.
Vitamin E helps prevent oxidative damage to cells in young pigs during times of rapid growth and stress. It is typically known for its role against such conditions as edema, heart damage and Mulberry Heart Disease. Vitamin E also is important for proper immune function. The stress of weaning and commingling, combined with the removal of immune protection from the sow, makes young pigs susceptible to a variety of diseases. Addition of vitamin E through the water in the most biologically available form will help ensure properly functioning antioxidant and immune functions, and improve the effectiveness of vaccines.
Vitamin D is most often thought of through its association with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Additional Vitamin D given in the water to young pigs has been observed to increase activity in pigs, resulting in better feed intake and growth. This has especially been valuable in unthrifty nursery pigs. Another function of vitamin D is to support the immune system, adding to the boost provided by vitamins C and E.
Vitamin C may be the best known vitamin for its support in the human immune system. It is an antioxidant in multiple tissues and works in conjunction with vitamin E and selenium. We are limited in the amount of selenium that can be given to pigs, so vitamin C adds to the strength of the antioxidant system. Vitamin C also helps with the conversion of vitamin D to its active form.
Steve Toft, swine specialist with Hubbard Feeds, reports that producer have had positive experiences with Vita-CDE, a combination of all three of these vitamins. It is in a liquid form that mixes easily to provide supplementation through the water and is compatible with other treatments that are administered through water. Vita-CDE is effective when pigs are rapidly growing, unthrifty, experiencing health challenges or are facing potential stress situations. Nursery managers are seeing more even pigs at the end of the nursery stage and a reduced number of fader and fall back pigs compared to pigs not supplemented with the product. The cost is about $.08 per pig for seven days in the nursery, so it only takes a slight improvement in performance or reduction in mortality, to pay for the product and time to implement.
With a favorable futures market, livability equals profitability and extra vitamin supplementation can provide the extra boost health-challenged pigs need.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Neurotrophins are small proteins that are naturally produced in the brain and act like mental nutrients. A constant level of neurotrophins are required just to keep the neurons alive. Neurotrophins are also responsible for pruning out unwanted cells and for stimulating the growth of new dendrites.
Stimulating your mind with new and interesting experiences causes it to increase the production of neurotrophins, which in turn increase the strength and complexity of the dendrites. It causes neurons to connect to different areas of the brain and form new patterns. The more connections you have, the more ways you have to remember a piece of information.
So, seeking out novel experiences is a great way to keep your mind in shape.

Victoria Beckham Smiling in NYC | Pictures
Why Did Victoria Beckham Poke Fun at Herself?
Victoria Beckham wore a sleeveless coat of her own design to make stops at Barneys and Prada on Saturday in NYC. She's been spending the last few days shopping around the Big Apple, including a visit to Bergdorf Goodman on Friday. Victoria poked fun at herself by posting a picture from that retail run on Twitter with a photoshopped arrow to her mouth reading, "Look, I'm smiling!" She had plenty to smile about since it was Mother's Day weekend, and she tweeted a special message to her followers, writing, "Happy Mother's Day fashion bunnies!" — click into the gallery to see the funny snap!
Victoria was without her kids in the days leading up to the holiday, though she already celebrated with her family in March, when the UK marks its version of Mother's Day. Despite being solo on the East Coast, Victoria kept busy in between boutique visits with a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit.

How can I lower the interest rate on my credit card?
One way is to call your existing lender and try to negotiate a lower rate. Often, the threat of losing a customer and the associated income from your finance charges can inspire a card company to accept a lower interest rate and keep the relationship. Negotiation is most effective if you have a stable payment history with the company.
If your present card company won't negotiate, you can transfer your existing balance to a new lender with a lower rate. Be careful, however, that it isn't a teaser rate that's offered for a few months and then will be raised higher than your existing rate. Ask for a clear accounting of what the rate applies to (e.g., balance transfers, new purchases, cash advances), as well as all other card limitations and penalties. Find out if there is a transaction fee before you agree to the transfer.
Keep in mind that lenders are making it increasingly difficult to continuously "surf" for low credit card rates. Some card companies now restrict balance transfers during a set time (e.g., a year) after you sign up. If you try to transfer to another card during that period, you may be retroactively charged a higher rate.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – After five consecutive wins to jumpstart the 2013-14 season, the Saint Leo women's basketball team defeated the visiting University of Puerto Rico at Bayamon Cowgirls by a 79-53 score, Tuesday night from the Marion Bowman Center. The victory improved the Lions' overall record to a perfect 6-0 on the year.
The U.P.R.–Bayamon Cowgirls came out strong in the first half on both offense and defense.

After returning to play, the Lions exploded both offensively and defensively, outscoring the Cowgirls 38-25 in the second half alone.

Love This Ring!!
I received this ring from my husband as a bday gift. I absolutely love it. I have not had it for long so I cannot comment about the diamonds falling out, but out of all the rings I looked at and tried on at local jewelry stores this is by far my favorite. The quality seems to be the same as local stores if not better and it was half the price of similar rings.Read More
I received this ring as a gift for our 21st Wedding Anniversary to accompany another ring and it is gorgeous. The diamonds are bright and beautiful. My husband had it appraised and it appraised for more than what he paid. This ring does not disappoint.Read More
It's Beautiful!
This ring is very pretty. The diamonds are small but the color is white and uniform. It can be worn by itself or stacked with an engagement ring. The price is reasonable and a good value.Read More

Beautiful but...
I got this ring as my wedding ring. It is beautiful and I have gotten many complements on it. However, it should be noted that the diamonds have a tendancy to fall out. I haven't even been married 2 yrs and already have had to replace two stones. The first time it happened I sent it back to overstock and they replaced it with a horrible (cloudy) diamond so I ended up going to a jeweler to have it done correctly. Make sure you get the insurance coverage from overstock.Read More
I was really afraid to order a diamond ring, sight unseen.... however , the price was good, the quality stated was that of some of my other rings, so I decided to give it a try. I couldn't be any happier with it . It has lots of sparkle and the detail on the side really sets it apart as a fine piece of jewelry. As for one reviewer saying the stones fell out, I purchased a pair of diamond earrings at a very reputable jewelry store and a stone fell out on the counter , in the store!!! I will certainly be checking on Overstock for my next jewelry purchases, instread of the expensive jewelry stores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Read More
Beautiful ring but not for me . ....
Beautiful ring but returned as I thought it would be a bit wider on my finger. Delicately put together and dazzling with sparkle.Read More
The PERFECT wedding band!
My husband and I picked this ring out for my wedding band. Engagement rings can be so expensive so we decided to get a nice wedding band instead. So far, the quality is great. However, I worry about the other reviews saying the diamonds have a tendency to fall out. I have had the ring for almost a year and nothing has fallen out... I love this ring. People compliment it quite often. It has just enough sparkle to make a lady happy and it has a brilliant shine in the sunlight! :)Read More

Hey guys,
A year or two ago, I posted a request for a recipe from Idar Oberstein in the Rheinland Pfalz area of Germany. It is a beef or pork roast dish, cooked over an open fire called Spiessbraten. When I posted the request, it generated alot of interest. Well, I finally found the recipe. I located it at http://www.ammas.com/u/I/I3.cfm
I've also copied it below for your convenience. Steve, if you are planning another book, it would be nice if you were able to visit Germany and check out their methods of grilling. The germans have some fantastic grilled and roasted meats. Schweine haxe, Bavarian chicken or handel and Spiessbraten to name a few.
Idar-Oberstein "Spiessbraten"
The Spiessbraten belongs to Idar-Oberstein as well as jewelry and
precious stones. It is known as a typical meal in the whole area, even
far away from the borders of Idar-Oberstein. In the springtime when the
days become a little warmer and even more sunny, the Spiessbraten
barbecue time starts. At some days in the summer time even whole streets
are surrounded by the fragrance of the meat that is well done on an open
Even though our foreign guests know what they get when they order a
Spiessbraten in a restaurant we now will explain two modifications of
preparation. First there is the version that is well done on a barbecue
grill (Schwenkbraten) and second the version where the meat is rolled
and well done by handwork on a metal stick (Spiessbraten). But first a
little hint. The two recipes shown are only two of uncountable versions
to prepare the Spiessbraten.
Beef: roastbeef or T-bones - the beef should not be too fresh.
Pork: shoulder or rib - eye
Every piece should have among 350 and 500 gram and it should be cut
Spices: salt, pepper, onions, garlic
The meat should be prepared one night before eating. At first spice the
meat with salt and pepper. Now peel the onions and cut them in rings.
Spice them with salt and pepper, too and press them in a little bit. Put
the onions and the meat in sites. The last site is onions. The next day
you start a big beech-wood-fire and burn it down until it's very hot.
Rearrange the onions now and put the meat on the grill. It should be
well done from both sides. The meat is ready after about 25 minutes (it
depends on the weight). The meat is ready when it starts loosing juice
or when it is not compliant any more when you press it. Pork should be
done very well, beef can be done medium or English, just as you like it.
As supplement we recommend green salad, fresh bread and grilled
potatoes. We wish a delicious meal.
The most important ingredient is very STRONG ONIONS otherwise it doesn't
come out so well.
Ingredients: The same as before. The weight of the piece depends on how
many guests you want to serve. You should consult your butcher and he
should cut the meat, too.
We recommend to prepare the meat one night before. Spice it with salt,
pepper, onions and garlic as well. Cut the onions in little pieces and
fill the meat with the onions. Roll the meat and attach it with a
string. The next day you prepare your fire, put the meat on a stick and
turn it for 1 1/2 hours. Normally the meat is ready when the skin is
quite cross. Now cut meat in slices. Supplement as before.
This is also cooked on an Oak fire as well. Just be sure to remove the bark.

PeaceKeeper All Natural Mineral Lip Paint Lipstick
I haven't worn lip color in a long time, but this product makes me want to try again. This is truly a natural lip color, made of ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil and vitamin E. This is truly a cosmetic that you don't have to question its safety. It is rated 1 out of 10 on the Skin Deep Database. If you haven't checked out the Skin Deep website, you are missing out on a lot of info. It's in my skin care recommendations.

Ok, so who here knows of some good BBQ in MA?
I've been to Firefly's... And who doesn't love an all you can eat BBQ Buffet on Sundays? And it's pretty good to boot.
We also have Tennessee's... The one in Braintree isn't bad, the one in Milford isn't..
There's a place called Cherrywood's, It's supposed to be pretty good, but never ate there..
And then there's another place in Bridgewater, Chili Heads. Been meaning to get there, but haven't.
Memphis Rodehouse in Attleboro wasn't impressive when I was there. But I've been told that it's under new Manegement, and it's a lot better. But I can't tell you if that's true.
There's just not much in the way of BBQ up here. unless i just don't know where it is.
I just hope that I don't know where it is...
