High school football: Cary Whittingham named new head coach at Timpview
Duckhunter Highland, UTMay 30, 2012 7:51 a.m.
While that would be funny if Fred had just had his boys show up and put on Rams uniforms for a picture the fact is both Kyle and Cary played for the Rams as repl;acement players during the '87 strike season. They are legitimately wearing those uniforms and if you knew them you would know dressing up like that for a picture is not something anyone in that family would ever do.
eagle Provo, UTMay 30, 2012 12:18 a.m.
From the looks of the two campuses and recent boundary decisions, I'm not sure if you could say that the PSD has been too majorly concerned about the two campuses being equal. And BTW, the school board did hire a new superintendent a month ago from Washington. The two previous superintendents have retired or will retired so it seems a new chapter is a foot.
As for the initial post on Coach Wong, I agree it would be nice to know where the investigation stands. I think with summer football starting, there was some need to name a coach. I think hiring Coach Whittingham, whatever the reason or process, seems to make sense. He seems the most able to continue the Wong legacy of the available options.

The Whittinghams played for the Rams replacement squad in the 87 strike year.
CA. reader Rocklin, CAMay 29, 2012 7:28 p.m.
Just a question: what happens if some judge says Coach Wong was improperly dismissed?
Sentinel Ogden, UTMay 29, 2012 7:00 p.m.
I have coached a High School sport (basketball) and know it is a huge job and responsibility. Glad that the new coach will have the support of the community.
I am not so sure about the pic of the Wittingham boys with their father- he was on the Rams coaching staff and the boys showed up and got dressed in Ram uniforms? What's up with that?
satch Highland, UTMay 29, 2012 5:11 p.m.
I agree with the first post. This is poor judgement on Timpview if this matter hasn't been resolved with Coach Wong. We don't know all the facts, but people that know coach Wong knows that he is an honest person who has integrity and he should be given the opportunity to defend these accusations.
I find it hard to place any credibility in Timpview HS or Provo SD. It's not as if thousands of dollars were embezzled. I think there were some inconsistencies that needed explaining. if everything was run through the principal & a school finance director the blame should be shared, practices changes, and a man's life work shouldn't be put through the mud.
The Real Maverick Orem, UTMay 29, 2012 2:54 p.m.
""I hope so," he said. "It's been a tough year for the community and everybody associated with the program. It's time to get back to focusing on what's best for kids. Timing wise, it was time (to hire a new coach).""
That's funny McKee. You've done anything but help the community and everyone associated with the program. When Wong was dismissed, you refused to name Cary as intern coach. A month or so ago, you again refused and decided to "open the job up." On Saturday, it got out that you were going to reject the committee's suggestions and hire a different coach who was never associated with Timpview.
"I think we've got a great person to take over," said McKee. "First and foremost, it was his honesty and integrity (that led to the administration's decision)."
Something McKee clearly lacks.
"I think (the community) will be overjoyed,"
of course they will be. For it was they who pressured you to hire Whittingham. After it got out on Saturday that you were going to hire another person, the community came together with over 1,000 signatures overruling your decision.
fender Washington, UTMay 29, 2012 2:00 p.m.
Agree with you this is a smart hire nobody can reasonably take issue with. The Wittinghams are football guys top to bottom, and this will be great for TV. HS coaches, like everybody else, have favorites, but very few "play" favorites. When it does happen it's usually based on how a coach perceives his players have been treated (or mistreated) by a college program. In any case LDS kids tend to want to go to BYU and most non-LDS kids won't consider it. Almost all TV kids are LDS, so Coach Wittingham's influence on instate recruiting would be negligible anyway.
Duckhunter Highland, UTMay 29, 2012 1:08 p.m.
I think you are spot on with your entire post.
Straight Forward>>> utah, UTMay 29, 2012 10:35 a.m.
I think its a great hire for Timpview and the community. I love to see when a school uses its resources and hires individuals that are vested in the well being of the kids he serves. I hear Wasatch is most likely losing a great youth baseball coach to another school. It is hard for me to understand why Wasatch would not want to use the great coaching that surrounds them in the valley, instead they stay with the status quo, because its the easy thing to do. Administrators have an obligation to find and hire the best coaches. Just as they would the best teachers. Its more than just filling a position....
reasonableUTE Provo, UTMay 29, 2012 10:34 a.m.
I know for a fact that Cary supports the Utes, but I think he has enough integrity to let the boys make their own decisions... I'm sure he'll put in a good word for his brother, but I don't think he will talk bad about BYU either.
plyxply SLC, UTMay 29, 2012 9:28 a.m.
I still think it's a shame the way the school district trampled Coach Wong's reputation. Every high school coach has to re-evaluate whether all of their hard work and efforts for the boys they mentor is worth the witch hunts that seem to follow the best coaches.
Maybe all the coaches should produce mediocre teams and stay out of the spotlight, otherwise the power hungry school boards will cut them down to size.
Good luck to Coach Whit, I'll be there watching his opener against Alta, tough way to start a career for Coach Whit but I'm sure he'll be great.
Duckhunter Highland, UTMay 29, 2012 9:23 a.m.
This is a great choice for Timpview although it is painful to see a Bulldog leading the Thunderbirds. Cary will do a great job there.
@tomahawk red
Cary Whittingham has been on the Timpview staff for several years running the defense and the vast majority of Timpviews D1 quality defensive players have still gone to BYU. These high school coaches do not play favorites with colleges although we can assume since Cary is Kyle's brother he will have nothing but good to say about him to his players. Quality HS coaches look out for all of the boys in their programs and try to cultivate good relationships with all of the college programs in the state. I would be very surprised if Cary tries to do anything to jepordize those relationships. Plus the Timpview area, and the majority of the parents in the area, are staunch BYU fans, Cary would not be foolish enough to alienate those people, his job depends on them.
Just another clueless nonsensical post from a utah "fan".
FaifeauSam Lehi, UTMay 29, 2012 6:42 a.m.
"Moving forward," as Coach Wittingham says, is still a bitter pill when one considers the black eye that Coach Wong has received. With the overall atmosphere which prevails throughout the Thunderbird campus, one would wonder where the buck really stops. Todd McKee has flexed his muscle and the school has lost a great coach, a very capable band director and a successful tennis coach. Is there something wrong with this picture? Is everything well in Zion or are the problems only beginning to show? I hope, for the sake of the kids, that 2012-13 can be a success for this lighthouse school, and instead of worrying about keeping balance between the two high schools, there will be a cleansing of the administration (at the district level) from the top down. Let's hope that the students and the student-athletes can move on from here even though they have learned a lesson in civics and how civil disobedience does not always win when those at the top have egos to stroke and the power to force their way to be enforced. Kia Kaha!
Joe Schmoe Orem, UTMay 29, 2012 2:06 a.m.
You know the question on everybody's mind is whether or not Cary is still a Cougar or does he now consider himself a Ute?
Best of luck to him and the kids at Timpview as well as to Coach Wong.
Tomahawk Red North Salt Lake, UTMay 29, 2012 1:24 a.m.
Great news!
Essentially this means all athletes who pass through this program will be piped straight to the U.
Keep 'em coming Timpview.
Utah's stranglehold on this state is getting even stronger.
guitarboy South Jordan, UTMay 29, 2012 12:48 a.m.
Amy, you've been reporting on this for a long time, and you've done a great job.
Except...there seems to be a gap. We have been waiting for some indication that proper due process owed to Coach Wong would be provided. If I missed an article, I hope you or somebody will point it out to me. Otherwise, we're left with the feeling that the termination of coach Wong may have been mishandled, and that the new hire is premature. This perception is unfair to coach Whittingham and coach Wong. Perhaps there is something you can do about this, in the way of further reporting. If due process as to coach Wong's situation has not occurred, that is worth reporting. If it has, that is worth reporting. If it has been reported, I apologize for missing it and would appreciate somebody pointing me to the article.

"Accounting is more than crunching numbers. It's about writing, delivering presentations and being able to express my thoughts. The communication and team skills I developed at Ambrose have been important in the business world."
"Smaller class sizes mean you can't just sit back; you have to get involved. That's how you grow and learn. These are things that have definitely carried over to my current job."
As an undergraduate accounting major at St. Ambrose, John Hammar found the individualized instruction from his professors to be a key factor to his academic success. It's one of the reasons he continued on at Ambrose to earn his master's degree in accounting.
By the time he graduated with his MAcc degree, John found he'd mastered the communication skills necessary for public presentations and one-on-one client meetings. Now, as a senior insurance associate at McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, John puts these skills to the test daily. "Between the quality of instructors and the intimacy of the program, I gained a solid foundation that continues to contribute to my success in no matter what I do."
During my junior year, I went to the career fair that's catered to accounting majors. After handing out my resume and going through the interview process, I landed a summer internship with McGladrey & Pullen. That's what got my foot in the door.
At McGladrey, I was treated like a new hire. In fact, I did exactly what I'm doing now: auditing. I got to go to different companies with a team, and learned that I really enjoyed that aspect of public accounting. Public accounting is a great way to start your career, since you get exposure to so many different types of clients.
All of the teachers at Ambrose are so accessible. I played on the basketball team my entire time as an undergraduate. I was able to balance all my extracurricular commitments with my studies, in part because of the committed faculty. If you ever have questions or need help, you can go straight to your instructors and they're more than happy to help you.
Communication skills. In the program, we gave several presentations. And we worked a lot in teams, which is something almost all accountants do. I learned how to work with different personalities. I learned to be flexible. And I'm able to better communicate my thoughts because of that.

A Torrey pine ravaged by a bark beetle infestation will be removed from Swami's park in Encinitas around Jan. 13.
As of Wednesday the 80-plus-year-old towering tree had lost all of its green, with the branches looking more like thick twigs. The tree is now more than 50 percent dead, according to the city.
Terry Smith, the city's park and beach supervisor, said the beetle infestation was noticed last summer. Bark beetles reproduce and feed inside older trees, cutting off their vascular system while growing a population. There are at least three species in San Diego County that feed on Torrey pines, said Michael Wall, the Natural History Museum's vice president of research. Wall said bark beetles attack trees that are already damaged in some way, such as from a storm.
"They smell the wound and go in for the kill," he said.
A full-grown beetle is about the length of Abraham Lincoln's head on a penny.
Smith said attempts to eliminate the beetle colony were unsuccessful. Removing the tree could help keep the beetles from invading neighboring trees.
Torrey pines are protected and beloved by some because they grow only in this part of the world. The Solana Beach school district faced some outcry after it removed a large Torrey pine in 2009 because falling branches endangered elementary school students.
A permit is required to remove Torrey pines standing in Del Mar.
Smith said that because the Swami's tree is on city property, Encinitas could proceed after an arborist's inspection and public notification of the tree's removal.
The city will plant replacement trees in Swami's park or at another park to maintain an urban forest look.
Botanist Charles Christopher Parry (1823-1890) named the pine after his friend and fellow botanist, John Torrey.
Parry was one of several botanists on an 1850 expedition that surveyed the area after the U.S.-Mexican War of 1846-1848.

Political Activity and New Splits
The liberation of Poland and the aftermath of the Russian Revolution brought in a lot of impulsiveness in Ciechanow Jewish and non-Jewish life. Political and economic strikes began. I recall the large agrarian strike with its gigantic demonstrations throughout the land. When the demonstration was to take place in Ciechanow, the joint Polish-Jewish committee sent out some chaverim, who called upon people to close the stores at the time of the demonstration. The chaverim got arrested. At the beginning of the demonstration the police demanded to disband and they shot into the air. The demonstration continued to grow and stood firmly in the marketplace not far from the magistrature. In spite of the fact that a Military group on horses chased with swords, and demanded that they scatter, nobody moved from the spot until the release of the arrested chaverim was promised.
That day perhaps the majority of precious working youth formed the uprising for the future battle. I recall the tears of joy when the chaverim met afterwards and told what they had lived through that day of struggle.
[Page 166]
A new wave of strikes erupted. The elections for the municipality were approaching. In the Jewish street the fight grew stronger between the working class and the others. We decided not to allow the shul to be used for an election meeting that the Rov wanted to have at the reading of the Torah. A group of us went and demanded to have a word and did not allow any election talk in shul. Later, police came looking for me at home. I had to hide for a whole week in a loft at the home of the Pravdes on the Jewish Street.
The election campaign was a tough one, but we succeeded in electing two of our people: Yidl Bronshtein and Mlinek. I want to take this opportunity to state that many religious tradesmen voted for our people since they had more trust in us. The strikes of the tailors and other tradesmen that we conducted cost us much effort and our youth spared no energy and helped in any way they could.
We also took part in the elections for the Workers Council that was established in 1919. I remember the large mass meeting in Paraflyonem House to elect delegates to the Workers' Council, in which many peasant workers participated and some not so wealthy farmers as well. It was a stormy meeting because of the differences of opinion regarding the nature of the council. It did not come to any excesses against the Jews in spite of the fact that the priest and his assistants nearly openly called for a pogrom.
[Page 167]
[Page 168]
[Page 169]
The entry of Poland into the war with the Bolsheviks, the terror throughout the land, did not escape us either. At the beginning of the winter of 1920, one evening, an officer with a regiment of soldiers attacked the Graus Club, broke the furniture, tore the pictures and books, beat many of those present and arrested a few people, amongst them Bronshtein and Aigengold. The soldiers beat up the arrested ones so badly that they were sick in bed for a long time afterwards.
In a few days we put everything back in order. We went on working, arranged readings and performances and also carried out political action.
One evening, when we were preparing for the May 1st celebration and for a performances, police once again attacked the club and chased everyone out. I hid beneath the stairs. They dragged me out of there even though I was serving in the Military, they took me to the P.K.O. (recruiting office). I remained working there a few days. I remember the devotion of the chaverim who came to say farewell to me and brought me good things. With particular warmth, Kostsheva and Lazniks behaved towards me. I was living with them since my parents lived in Warsaw at the time. With great respect I recall the mother, Nekhe Laznik, as one of the fine persons, a type of woman like Sara Bas Tovim.
On August 16, 1920, I was wounded at the front and after being in the Military hospital for nine months, I came to Ciechanow in March 1921 on sick leave. The situation in the land was a difficult one. The Workers' Organization in the shtetlech was weakened because of the police terror that was prevalent during the war. The communist mood increased amongst the workers and the poor folk that also influenced the Jewish working people in Ciechanow. At the front, and afterwards in Bialystok, where I was serving with the Forty-Second Regiment, I often used to come to meetings where I met with true factory proletariats. I began to see events in a different light.
[Page 170]
In Ciechanow area I started to organize the youth, but no longer in the Bundist spirit. A strong fight was held against the Bund, that stubbornly defended its position. Finally, a large portion of the Bund Tzukunft joined the Comtzukunft organization that slowly started to set up a regular organizational educational work program. The active members were: Margolis, Kersh, N. Laznik, I. Mlotzker, T. Remboim, Misher, Sasskover, Plate, M. Zieloner, I. Gallek, Z. Apel (Khlevak) and others. Our meetings used to take place in the forest near the sugar factory as well as in private homes. At the end of 1921 I, while still in the army, was sent as a delegate for the Ciechanow region to the congress of Comtzukunft that took place in Danzig.
The election campaign to the Polish Siyum in 1922 we carried on under difficult half-legal conditions. The police terror demanded from our chaverim much self-sacrifice and devotion. The chaverim used to sit whole nights, wrote placards and appeals. They also contributed their last groshns for election work A few nights before the elections the police attacked our election office, arrested those present and held them for a few days until after the election in order to hinder our work in that way. In spite of this we had a large number of votes in Ciechanow region.
At the same time we carried on cultural activities through readings and lectures on various communal matters and library themes. With the participation of progressive people, we organized a lecture by the well-known progressive journalist at that time and activist, Vienyava Dlugoshevsky, about: Erev Friling (Before Spring) by Djiromsky, that attracted a large crowd of Jewish and Polish workers and intellectuals. Academics such as I. Mushinsky lectured on New Forms in Modern Literature and others. We influenced a circle of intellectuals and teachers and used to meet in the homes of the teachers Hoifnagl and Fuchs and there we had discussions about cultural and political issues.
We organized a non-Party inter-shtetl initiative group of representatives from Mlawa and Ciechanow. the group organized lectures about the new Jewish literature and brought the writers Melekh Ravitch and Peretz Markish, who were warmly received, particularly in Mlawa, but an honorary committee consisting of Kuba Kleinetz, Greenberg, Alter, Kanarik and others.

In Ciechanow, at that time, the great Jewish writer, Yisroel Shtern, spent an extended period, after he came out of hospital. His mother, brother and sister lived in our shtetl. We tried to arrange for him to lecture on literature and organize his lecture in Ciechanow as well as in other cities. I myself tried to arrange for the writer to stay with my friends -- Vielgalaski and Schgave, where Shtern spent a long time.
In the year 1928, we sent delegates to the parliamentary Freethinkers Congress that took place during Pesach in Lodz. From Ciechanow the delegates were: Balbinsky, Z. Apel and Sh. Grosbard. The congress lasted a few days. In the end it was declared illegal and the majority of the delegates were arrested. When our delegates returned to Ciechanow they gave reports of the congress to small groups. Discussions were held and decisions were made for the future work.
We also organized a cultural institution called An-ski Biblioteque, where lectures were continually given on political, social and literary themes. In the executive and in the commissions those active were: Binyamin Apel, Melovsky, Yudl Galek, Singer, Zigmunt, Rikl Misher, N. Loznik, Chayche, Yosl Grossbard, Gutmakher and others.
It is worthwhile to mention a friendship outing

that the Anski Biblioteque arranged together with the Peretz Biblioteque of Mlawa, legally organized in the forests in the Mlawa region. We went to Mlawa Friday evening. On Shabbat morning, when we started to gather in the Mlawa Gardens and in closed rows marched in the forest, police came and chased us away, in spite of the permission that we had.
Our youth was devoted with all their heart and suited themselves to work under the most difficult conditions. In later years, when I was in Warsaw, I was amazed at the news I heard about how our youth conducted themselves during the grand trial of arrested communists in the Mlawa court house, where the main witness was the stool-pigeon Con. A sentence of nearly a hundred years in prison for those charges was given.
The youthful communists participated in organizing the large demonstration of the unemployed in the Thirties that forced the established of committees for the distribution of cheap and also free products for the poor and unemployed.
Also, the first concentration camp in Poland -- Carhuz Bereze did not overlook Ciechanow: Laibl Souckover and Nathan Fizner were arrested and sent there to that torture camp.

Just before World War II, our chaverim, together with the Bund and Left Poele Tzion, organized the Peretz Library where the archives once were: A. Margolis, B. Apel and Yosl Grosbard; from the Bund: Wolf Kostsheva and Tchurek. From the Left Poele Tzion: Litwin and others.
Blessed be their memory.

PLANT CITY — Plant City took advantage of two first-half fumbles by Riverview and controlled the clock in the second half Friday night to roll to a 34-14 victory over the Sharks.
On the opening drive of the game, Riverview marched 60 yards to the Plant City 1-yard line. Kimo Vereen, who rushed for 120 yards on the game, carried off tackle and appeared to have his forward progress stopped at the goal line.
Officials did not blow the whistle, however, and Devyn Salmon stripped the ball out of Vereen's hands and rumbled 99 yards the other direction for a touchdown.
Riverview coach Mike Thornton was incensed that officials allowed play to continue.
"In my mind the progress had been stopped," Thornton said. "So we're either blowing a whistle and lining back up, or, he's in the end zone. There's not only the danger involved of a dead pile and someone getting rolled up on, it became a 14-point swing."
The Sharks responded on the first play of their next series as Vereen atoned for the fumble by running 69 yards up the gut to even the score at 7-7.
Plant City jumped back in front later in the first quarter on a 6-yard touchdown run by Ervin Michael, but Riverview answered right back with an impressive drive and seemed poised to tie it.
Then, misfortune struck again.
On his way into the end zone from the 1, quarterback Chase Freeman had the ball knocked loose and Plant City recovered on the 2.
"That one was on us," Thornton said. "There aren't too many teams that can put the ball on the ground like that and still win. Those are the hurdles we've got to get over."
The Raiders scored touchdowns on each of their second-half possessions, including a 73-yard touchdown pass from Nick Rodriguez to Tavares Chase as the Raiders pulled away.

Citywide Banks next Facebook Fan Vote for its Quarterly Hand-Up Charity Donation will take place from September 8-20, 2011. This is the first of five charities that will be spotlighted leading up to this quarter's Fan Vote.
Poor families often go hungry. And low-wage workers, struggling to get by on two or three jobs, subsist on Value meals, chips, and soda: whatever is cheap and fast.
Brad and Libby Birky, founders of So All May Eat (SAME) Café wanted to change that. Six days a week, in a Colfax Avenue storefront, they serve homemade, organic meals at a pay-what-you-can price. Offerings include bacon and date pizza to carrot soup; spinach salad to pepperoni pizza. Nobody is turned away.
Since 2006, SAME Café has served thousands of meals. Some customers are attorneys, teachers and students at East High. For others – day laborers, single Moms, temp workers – SAME Café is a lifeline.
"We hear from people who have experienced hard times," said Brad Birky, founder. "SAME café allowed them to eat when they were struggling to pay their bills, put gas in their car."
Birky figures one meal costs $6 to prepare. But diners donate an average of just $4 per meal, leaving a gap. With $500 from Citywide Banks, Birky isn't sure if he'd buy a week's worth of organic groceries; repair the fridge; or fix the broken ice machine.
But he knows this: "For many people who come in here, this is their one chance to eat."
SAME Cafe is one of five Denver charities nominated to receive Citywide Banks $500 Quarterly Hand-Up Donation. Ready to vote for the SAME Cafe? Visit Citywide's Facebook Fan Page at Facebook.com/citywidebanks and become a Fan by clicking the "Like" button. Fans will be eligible to vote for their charity choice from September 8 – 20, 2011. Stay tuned to this blog for spotlights on the other nominated charities.

Retailers gorging on lavish Christmas ad campaigns have fast become the UK marketing industry's answer to the Superbowl, and 2012 didn't disappoint. Asda managed to alienate its target audience with a 50s-inspired overworked housewife, while John Lewis relied on schmaltz with another spot designed to pull on the heartstrings. But it was Marks & Spencer that took the Christmas gold and secured a well-earned place on 2012's marketing moments of the year by standing for something bigger than simply getting the biggest share of consumers Christmas pounds.
A four-year-old boy with Down's Syndrome took a starring role in the retailer's Christmas campaign, following an impassioned Facebook campaign by his mother.
Caroline Playle took to Marks & Spencer's Facebook page to ask it to use Seb in its Christmas campaign. She wrote: 'My heartfelt plight is to get him 'out there' and get the message across that different isn't any less wonderful – or even that different. My ultimate goal is to see him in an ad campaign to represent the many children out there starting school who are a little bit different but leading typical family lives.' Her post was met with a torrent of support from Marks & Spencer's Facebook fans and Seb appeared in the Christmas campaign.
In the words of Seb's mum Caroline: 'I also think using him could help create a truly original, bold and memorable campaign, which would fit perfectly with M&S's family values and ethics'. She, of course, was right, so bravo to Steve Sharp and his marketing team.
The Upshot
What brands can learn from Marks & Spencers' winning strategy
- Beyond Crowdsourcing: Consumer Advocates
Marks & Spencer is one of a growing tranche of brands that recognise social media is about far more than simply collecting meaningless milestones such as 'likes'. Smart brands understand that listening and then responding to consumers lies at the heart of all good marketing. Sometimes the smartest ideas originate outside the Chinese walls of the marketing department.
- Give consumers the diversity they want
The advertising and marketing industry is lagging behind society when it comes to truly embracing diversity. Marketers must always beware of presenting a narrow world view.
- Beware the marketing fishbowl
In the pressure to deliver the next presentation or award-winning campaign, marketers are at risk of missing the bigger picture. Staying in touch with the wider world and the hopes, dreams and concerns of your consumers is key to not appearing out of touch. Listening is everything.

What's Real and What's Not: Interview with Director Céline Sciamma | 15 Nov 2011 // 4:00 PM
"I really like to work on empathy and identification,' says Céline Sciamma. "I want everybody to connect and say, 'This is the childhood of today, but this could be my childhood as well.' I think cinema is about building a universe and about playing between what's real and what's not."

What Does It Matter if You're a Girl or a Boy? 'Tomboy' | 16 Nov 2011 // 11:04 PM
As the sisters come to see that dresses and haircuts and behaviors are a means to create a self, to communicate with others, Tomboy doesn't offer an easy answer; instead, it lets you wonder why gender must be so definitive.

It states that the size is 22 x 34 and my frame is the standard poster size of 24 x 36. I had planned to use a matte to fill in the extra. As it turned out the poster is actually 24 x 36 so fits perfectly in the standard poster frame. The colors are just gorgeous and stunning. Bright and cheerful. Livens up the room.

I see many posts about how fraxel (or other lasers) can help loose skin around the eyes. When I went for my first treatment, they put eye patches over my whole eye, including eyelids. It did improve the rest of my face, but of course not my eyelids or bags. I don't think I'd want the laser any closer?
How Do You Protect Eyes from Lasers when Treating Loose Eyelid Skin?
Doctor Answers 12
Mode of Eye Protection during laser treatments to Face and Eyelida
Eye protection is obviously extremely important. the closer we come to the eye, the tighter and more secure the eye protection must be. The best way to protect the eyes from scratches or the laser is to use specially designed stainless steel contact lenses. The eye is numbed with a drop of topical anesthetic. Once numb, these specially designed corneal protection shields are placed on the eye, much like a contact lens, and cover the surface of the eye for the duration of the procedure. once the procedure is done, the protective shields are removed.
This allows the Plastic surgeon to safely treat the eyelids which are frequently the reason many people seek laser treatments.
Dr. Aldea
Eye protection is critical with lasers
Laser (or other device) treatment of skin of upper and lower eyelids is very common. Eye protection for patient and operator is necessary to avoid injury from direct or indirect exposure. There are different types of eyewear used depending upon laser (device) and proximity to eye. Most of the time we use external metal shields that look like eyeprotection one would wear in a tanning booth. For use closer to eyelashes we would use an internal shield - basically a metal contact lens.
Laser rejuvenation of the eyelids
Treating the eyelid skin with a laser is generally the best way to improve texture, lines, wrinkles and the crepe paper appearance of the skin. It is essential to protect the eye by placing a shield over the eye. It's like a large contact lens, but for comfort an anesthetic drop is placed in the eye and a lubricating ointment is spread over the inside of the shield. It's completely comfortable. Once it's in place the laser procedure can be done all the way to the eyelash line to rejuvenate the lids. After the procedure the shield is easily removed and we flush the eye with a saline solution to remove any remnants of the ointment. In our office, once the shield is in place, our patients are never left alone. It only takes a few minutes to perform the laser so for those who don't like the thought of the shield (which can't be felt) removing their sight temporarily, the shields are out in no time.

Laser Skin Resurfacing For Eyelid Skin
For laser skin resurfacing around the eye, modality specific eye shields are utilized much like a contact lens to protect the cornea, sclera and conjunctiva. For laser skin resurfacing (utilized to tighten, smooth, and enhance the skin) around the eye we use a metal shield that is reflective. This allows the skin being treated by the laser to be treated safely without hurting the delicate eye structures. During a blepharoplasty a plastic shield or contact is commonly used as well. Plastic is chosen in this situation as it is non conductive. Once the fat, muscle and excess skin have been addressed through a blepharoplasty the laser can then address the skin. A different eye shield is selected depending upon the laser. The main point being that the eye needs to be protected from injury and there are many different ways to do this safely.
Eye protection from lasers
If the eyelid is treated up to the eyelashes, there are different types of eye protection that doctors can use depending on the energy source. Radiofrequency such as Thermage involves the use of plastic sterile eyeshileds placed by the physician similar to the manner in which contact lenses are placed. For many lasers, sterile smooth metal eyeshields are placed in lieu of the plastic mentioned above. There are other ways in which it can be done. The physician should discuss with you the procedure they will use.
Metal shields are standard for laser resurfacing of the eyelids
When performing laser resurfacing of the eyelid skin, I insert metal eye shields to protect from the laser. First an anesthetic drop is used, followed by careful placement of a metal eye shield that is coated with eye lubricant. The eye is then flushed with BSS solution after their removal following the laser treatment. A properly fitting eye shield is excellent protection from laser injury.
Laser resurfacing of eyelid skin
Fractional resurfacing of eyelid skin can give great results. To treat the eyelid skin properly, you need internal eye shields. They are made of non-reflective metal material and are inserted inside the eyelids, in a similar way as contact lenses, although these are much larger.
Some anesthetizing eye lubricant must be placed in the eye prior to putting in eye shields to protect the eye and reduce the reflex to flinch when the eye shields are being inserted.
Make sure you have the procedure done by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with proper training and experience in this procedure. It is a procedure that can give great results but must be done an experienced physician.
Laser Treatment around eyes
In order to treat within the orbital rim (inside the bony rim around the eye) you need to place special laser protective eye shields. This is quite simple to do. A few drops of an eye anesthetic are placed in they eye, followed by a lubricant and then the eye shield. The biggest problem patients have is the anxiety associated withthe physician putting the shields in, but most find it much simpler than than they imagined. Any experienced laser surgeon should have these readily available, as they are a must for treating close to the eyelid margin. Be sure to consult with your experienced, board certified aesthetic surgeon, such as a Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon. You will be pleased with your results.

Corneal protectors
There are special laser eye shields that we use to protect the eyes. We place a topical anesthetic on the eye, lubricate the eye and insert the shield. It is a painless procedure. After the procedure the shields are removed and the eye is irrigated with a balanced salt solution much like contact lens solution.
Safety and loose skin around the eyes
it is imperative that any treatment involving the eyes utilizes what we call intraocular protection. This involves putting some numbing drops in your eyes and place a very large contact lens to protect it from the laser beam. We use this on all of our eyelid treatments.

By Amy @BubbleJobs
On this blog, we're always harping on about how important cover letters, CVs and interviews are, however we know that to even get to that point in the job application process, you need to have the right skills, qualifications and experience to tick all the boxes in the first place.
Now, just like everyone else, here at Bubble we were always taught that qualifications were the be-all and end-all when we were growing up – and we're sure in some ways nothing's really changed – but today we thought we'd potentially challenge that theory and attempt to work out if qualifications really do win out every time or if experience is more important when it comes to securing a digital career.
Why are we focusing on the digital sector? Well, because that's what Bubble's all about – and additionally because the industry is so new so it makes a great case study. Think about it; the digital industry is growing and changing every day so can we really apply the old-school rules of career development to such a young, dynamic industry?
The first thing that springs to our mind when asked if qualifications or experience is more important when it comes to digital jobs? Experience all the way – but qualifications are never going to hurt! You see, like we said before, the digital industry is changing… and it's changing fast!
From SEO to social media and user experience design, employers all across the sector are searching for candidates that have got some prior hands-on experience within the sector – and have survived everything the digital sector has thrown at them thus far! They want to hear from SEO candidates who have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly of the Penguins and Pandas, social media marketers who have had to embrace new platforms and PPC execs who have experimented with adwords and helped to increase traffic to a website by 500%.
Now, before we go any further, we should probably clarify that we're not trying to say that qualifications are irrelevant and unnecessary – far from it – in fact, qualifications are still pretty essential when it comes to 'laying the groundwork' for any digital career. Some university degrees are still essential for digital jobs because they can provide you with vital transferable and 'soft' skills… but more often than not, relevant, quality experience is favoured above qualifications time and time again in the digital industry.
Not sure what I'm talking about? Put yourself in a digital employer's shoes; would you be more inclined to take on an outstanding candidate who has got an amazing undergraduate degree and has just finished a Masters or a candidate who doesn't necessarily have as many formal qualifications but has hands-on experience within the industry? 9 times out of 10 you'd always go for the more experienced candidate. Why? Because despite the fact they might not be as technically 'qualified', they have that experience that money just can't buy – and they can put all the hindsight that comes with that experience to good use during their time with your company.
Of course, that's not to say that that the 'experience over qualification' rule applies to all industries – or even all sectors within the digital sector itself. Yep, even within the digital industry, different 'rules' apply and it all really depends on the sector and the personal preferences of the employer. Any obvious patterns? Well, in more 'traditional' digital sectors like graphic design, web development and project management, official qualifications are always going to hold a lot of weight with employers because they involve a lot of tried and tested techniques and patterns. On the other hand, with careers in things like SEO, online marketing, social media and copywriting, qualifications are definitely less important. Why? Because they're still relatively 'new' so there aren't necessarily the official qualifications available just yet to support the roles.
Hmm, OK… let's put university qualifications to one side for a minute – what about qualifications within the industry? Well, this is where it gets more interesting and the lines definitely become more blurred. You see, thanks to the IDM and other industry bodies, more and more relevant courses are being offered every day by key industry professionals who have that all important experience under their belt – this makes them a really useful resource, however that's not to say that these are essential either. Yes, courses like this can be super-useful and can help you to advance your career but they still involve a great deal of theory, work and (in some cases) study – all of which take up time that could otherwise be spent getting hands-on experience and learning lessons in a real-world digital environment.
Saying that though; there are some additional courses/qualifications you can pick up while working in your current role (ie. in your own time) that can definitely help you to advance in your digital career. I am of course talking about industry standard qualifications – things like Adwords, Analytics and Prince2 (project management) that are widely recognised across the industry as a whole and are sometimes specifically requested when it comes to recruiting PPC, SEO and project management candidates.
In our (humble) experience, we find that when our recruiters and employers feed back to us regarding the candidates that have applied for their job, it's always a candidate's particular experience (whether good or bad) that gets mentioned before anything else – in fact, I don't think we've ever had feedback from a client saying the candidates that have applied didn't have the right qualifications… so I think we're definitely on to something!
To sum up; yes, qualifications are important (and sometimes essential – the more specific and niche, the better) but 9 times out of 10, it's experience that really counts and that can make all the difference when it comes to securing a new digital job.
We're really keen to get your thoughts on this one. Have you been applying for digital jobs and found your lack of experience has held you back or is it your lack of qualifications that's been the stumbling block? Alternatively, if you're a digital recruiter or employer, do you tend to favour experience over qualifications or vice versa? Leave us a comment or send us a tweet – @BubbleJobs.

Denise Osgood fondly remembers watching her father meticulously make a block of basswood or butternut into a piece of art in his workshop set up in the garage of their Blaine home.
Osgood, who now lives in Chisago City, took up her father's favorite hobby a little over 10 years ago and has learned from him ever since. Irv Synder started wood carving about 40 years ago. Both enjoy carving the images of animals they see in wildlife magazine ranging from tigers to loons.
"I love it. It's priceless," Osgood said. "Nobody is here forever. It's quality time I get to spend with him."
Synder and Osgood were two of 28 people who displayed their talents in chip carving, relief carving, caricature carving and much more at the 47th annual woodcarving show at Northtown Mall in Blaine on March 9 and 10.
Bill Bates of Barron, Wis., always takes the back roads when he is traveling and has a camera in case he finds inspiring scenery that he can later use as a reference for a woodcarving project. One scene he carved showed a Colorado farm.
Walter Grittner of Lauderdale comes up with elaborate geometric patterns that he chip carves into small wooden boxes and wooden plates.
Vern Johnson of Brooklyn Center created a mountain goat out of basswood and its horns out of wood from a fruit tree because it looks and feels like bone when it hardens. He sprayed on a silicone texture to the outside of the mountain goat and placed it on a stand that he glued pebbles and large rocks to in order to give it the appearance of standing on a mountain pass.
The show was a great opportunity for shoppers to see beautiful and inspirational artwork, including seven four-foot by six-foot wood panels carved out by New Brighton resident Jerry Olsen to show the life of Jesus Christ.
Olsen first started wood carving in 1964 and soon was inspired to work on this elaborate project, but he was still working and spending a lot of time with his family at the time. He really started working on this project about 30 years ago and finished most of it after he retired.
The panels cover major events in Jesus' life from his birth to The Last Supper, to him rising from the grave after his crucifixion.
Olsen's goal was not to jam the message down people's throats. He wanted people to be able to think about it in their own way. It was interesting for him to watch people's reactions. Some people spent a lot of time looking at the panels while others just took a quick glance and moved on.
Ron Lupinek of Coon Rapids started wood carving in 1992 after he came to this show at Northtown Mall. He is now one of the instructors of an introductory class that takes place once a year.
The first class this year starts next Tuesday, March 19 and the group meets once a week until April 16 at the Mary Ann Young Senior Center, 9150 Central Ave., in Blaine.
Wes Spadgenske of Andover said the first thing they start with is making a snake and they follow-up with making small animal figures. The cost of the five-week introductory course is $65. Call Wes at 763-757-5377 or email [email protected] for more information.
Lupinek said it can be an inexpensive hobby. All you need is some wood that local vendors can provide, carving knives and sandpaper.
"It's a relaxing hobby," Lupinek said. "You can go at your own pace."

Good morning!
After a warm and sticky Mom walk this morning, I dug into a brand new breakfast – Raspberry Banana Oatgurt!
WHATgurt? Oatgurt! Oatmeal + Greek yogurt!
I first spied this concoction on Holly's blog, and was confused. "Wait a second," I said to myself, "hot oatmeal and cold yogurt? Together?! How will this work?"
In the mix:
- 1/3 cup oatmeal
- 2/3 cup water
- banana
- cinnamon
- vanilla
- Raspberry Chobani Yogurt
- Michigan cherries
My doubt flew out the window after my first bite – this was fantastic!
The hot oatmeal and cold Greek yogurt melded together like velvet. YES.
These are the cherries my Mom brought fresh from Michigan. Wowsers, they were sweet. What a breakfast! :D
Lunch is pretty spectacular too – I packed a nice sampler style lunch!
A pepper jack cheese stick – great for melting in grilled cheese, topping salads, and as an easy, on-the-go snack.
A Peanut Butter and Jelly Larabar. If you think I went bananas with the Chobani this weekend, you should have seen me in the Larabar aisle! 4/$5 = happy IGE!
This flavor is one of my faves (second only to Peanut Butter Cookie.) It tastes exactly like the sammie, but has only four ingredients. Riddle me that?!
Rounded all out with a perfectly ripe cantaloupe half.
I ended up eating the other half of this cantaloupe for dessert last night, instead of my peanut butter ice cream bar. Someone wanted to see a picture of the empty 'loupe half – so here you go! Demolished. :)
Trust me when I tell you that I am not an "I eat fruit to satisfy my dessert cravings" type of gal, but this cantaloupe was SWEETER than ice cream. The sweetest one I've ever had, actually!
Topped with saran wrap and wrapped with a rubber band for easy transport.
Satisfaction! :)
So I was was watching a Comedy Central special with Nick Swardson this weekend (hysterical) and he pondered, what if everyone had to grow up and become the first thing they ever wanted to be when they were little? Ie, when he was 6 he wanted to be a ninja. So what if he really had to be a Ninja when he grew up?
If that were true, I'd be sitting behind the telephone switchboard at the White House right now. It's true. When I was about 7 years old, I got a million books on the White House and wanted to become one of the women who sat behind the switchboards directing calls. Random! ;)
What would you be today, if you had to become the first thing you ever wanted to be? Did anyone actually end up becoming what they wanted to be when they were little?

Neighbourhood: Financial District & Underground City
Location: Centred at King & Bay, the area is roughly bounded by Queen Street, Front Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue.
Transit: TTC: King, Union or St. Andrew subway stations.
Soaring architectural marvels fill the horizon in Toronto's Financial District. This bustling business core, centred around King and Bay Streets, is home to banks, corporate head offices, law firms, stockbrokerages and other big businesses.
But under the glass and steel monoliths reaching skywards, a whole other city thrives below the surface. The PATH, or Toronto's Underground City, is a subterranean shopping concourse that weaves its way for more than 30 kilometres (16 miles) beneath the financial core. According to the Guinness World Records, it's the largest underground shopping complex in the world, with close to 1,200 retail shops, cafés and restaurants. The PATH connects to 50 office towers, six hotels, five subway stations and major attractions such as The Hockey Hall of Fame, Air Canada Centre, Rogers Centre and the CN Tower.

Good luck down there in Florida today Mr. Speaker, also am impressed with your long-term strategy for victory in the GOP primary race...
An internal Gingrich campaign memo obtained by The Daily Caller shows the campaign is planning to continue long after Tuesday's Florida primary, stating simply: "this race is just getting started."
The memo, from National Political Director Martin Baker, notes Romney's lack of conservative grassroots support, and stresses that Romney currently has just 33 of the 1144 needed (Gingrich has 25 of 1144).
"Regardless of who wins on Tuesday," the memo says, "they will have less than 10% of the delegates they need to claim the nomination…."
Additionally, the memo stresses that the proportional nature of the upcoming contests "essentially guarantees that no candidate will secure the nomination anytime soon and the map quickly becomes more favorable for Gingrich."
More than 20 percent of the available delegates (467) will be awarded on Super Tuesday, and the memo notes that, one of the Super Tuesday states is Georgia, with 76 delegates at stake. To put that in perspective, "even if Romney wins Florida on Tuesday, he will only have 83 total delegates; Newt's home state could effectively cancel out his entire delegate count to date."

"A mind-popping Broadway debut! A magnified cabaret concert that has the heat and dazzle of great balls of fire." - The New York Times
Kiki DuRane is a brash, boozy, septuagenarian chanteuse. She's never much cared what other people think, but she's always willing to say what she thinks. Onstage with her stalwart accompanist and only living friend Herb, Kiki somehow stumbles her way through a selection of songs, punctuated by political rants, searching social commentary, and recollections of a lifetime filled with unforgettable memories. Not satisfied simply doing endless versions of cabaret standards, Kiki & Herb display their unique musical prowess reinventing popular songs by great 20th- and 21st-century artists like Wu-Tang Clan, Joni Mitchell, Styx, Pat Benatar, Radiohead, Nirvana, Bonnie Tyler, and Britney Spears.
The outrageous Kiki & Herb, the alter egos of Justin Bond and Kenny Mellman, bring their smash-hit Broadway show to Boston for the first time in a limited run. Fresh off having Kiki & Herb: Alive from Broadway named one of the ten best Broadway shows of 2006 by The New York Times, the duo's signature blend of old showbiz antics and indie-rock attitude will have Boston audiences swooning with adoration and doubling over with laughter.
Approximate Running Time: 1 hour, 50 minutes
ATTENTION SUBSCRIBERS: Kiki & Herb: Alive from Broadway is not part of the Huntington subscription season, however, subscribers receive $10 off each additional Kiki & Herb ticket purchased.

It's the last Tuesday of the month, which means that it's time for another It's So Ugly It's Cool thrift store challenge hosted by Jess at Domicile 37. I have to admit I dropped the ball a little bit on this one. Here I am trying to give you a before/after post, and I forgot to take any before pictures. Oops!
The good thing is, I didn't change the item in question that much, so I think you can use your imagine to envision what this trunk with no legs looked like. It looked like a trunk.
Anyhoo–I found this particular trunk in the trash pile at an estate sale. It really wasn't in bad condition, as you can see–I'm not entirely sure why they were throwing it away. I went super quick/easy in my makeover of this piece. I just cleaned it up a bit (as I said, it didn't need much–it was more that I felt like it was dirty than that it actually was dirty) and added some inexpensive wooden legs from Lowe's. The legs I used are about $2.50/each, and I had to buy some hardware to attach it (which I didn't end up using–more on that later), so considering that the trunk was free, I am all-in at about $12.50 on this project. Not bad!
If you had a really nice trunk and wanted to do it up right, I'm sure you could get some awesome legs from Pretty Pegs or use some vintage legs and make it spectacular. With how low-to-the ground I wanted this to be, the legs aren't too visible, so it wasn't really worth it to me to invest in a pricier option.
To clean the trunk, I used a combination of water, baking soda, olive oil, and dish soap (you can read a good post on cleaning trunks here). If that sounds like a gross mixture, it kind of was. But remember, the cleaning was mostly about the psychology of believing it was clean rather than achieving some kind of specific result. I read that using that mixture would provide a gentle cleaning, so as far as I know, it did! When it was dry, I finished by polishing it with regular old furniture wax–the same kind I used on my mint dresser makeover.
To attach the legs, I simply drilled into the bottom of the trunk to make a hole slightly smaller than the screw on the leg. Usually I am not allowed to drill things because I have a bad reputation for eyeballing rather than taking precise measurements, but in this case eyeballing (I think I used the width of two or three fingers from the edge as a guide) was good enough. This kind of old trunk is really only made out of cardboard, so it is not at all difficult to puncture with a drill.
After attaching the legs, the plan was to secure them with a washer and then a nut on the inside of the trunk, but as it so happens, my cleaning activities exacerbated the rustiness of the hardware, and I haven't been able to get the trunk open since! I'm pretty sure I could if I pulled hard enough, but the trunk resting on the legs makes them secure enough anyway; it's not worth risk ripping the lid off the trunk.
My only piece of advice is that when you go to buy the washers/nuts bring the leg you are using with you and let the nice folks at your local home improvement store help you out. There are about a bazillion sizes inside all these little drawers, and you will grow old trying them out or become crazy attempting to guess which would fit.
I didn't have any spot for the trunk when I found it, but it ended up fitting exactly into this little nook beside my closet. Sometimes admittedly I throw clothes on top of it for days at a time, but when it's visible it's a pretty cool accent.

Jasmine and Tangerine are my two favourite oils from Darphin, I use this one at night after cleansing on wet skin and let it sink, sometimes, when I'm in a hurry I just mix a few drops with my hydraskin light moisturiser and done.
It's super nourishing, specially to dry or dehydrated skin, the smell I don't appreciated so much (I prefer the tangerine one), but it's not that bad, the bigger problem with darphin oils is that they don't come with a dropper, so I always put them in a dropper jar to best control the amount used.
Applying it on wet or damp skin or with the moisturiser doesn't leave the skin oily.

Thie jasmine aromatic care elixir smells sooo good and makes my skin soft and hydrated , its truly a pleasure everytime I use it, it is also antiaging and I put more around eyes and mouth and helps to soften my fine wrinkles, I have almost all the Darphin aromatic oils and this one is my favorite til now, I would like to try the 8 nectar flower but this one is outstanding by itself certainly!

I do like this face oil, but there are so many other ones out there to try. It does make my skin softer, and keep the pores tight, so maybe I would buy it again. It did not knock my socks off, but maybe it keeps the lines away. A little does go a very long way, and I am not allergic to it. Very good for sensitive skin. Does not break me out.

A definite complexion enhancer. The benefit with this product was immediate: complexion more even-toned and clarified. A little goes a long way with this one so the little bottle lasts quite some time. At night I alternate between this and Darphin's Tangerine Aromatic Care: each as good as the other in terms of performance. A winner.

A few of the lovely ladies below answered my queries about the Jasmine Aromatic Care. Thanks to kittyskyfish for the ingredients listing. I was quite intrigued with all the good reviews and wanting something nice for my 'mature' skin. I got the deluxe sample from a plastic surgeon's office. She told me that a lot of people use the aromatic oils post-peel. At first, the strong scent of the jasmine was offputting, but I have grown accustomed to it. Yes, it is expensive, but with Darphin a little seems to go a long way. Patting a few drops onto skin moistened with Avene toner helps economize on the product. I should note that I don't use this every day, rather I alternate between Burt's Bees, Clarins Orchid and the Jasmine. I believe each product has something to offer and thus I hope to reap the benefits of each of their ingredients, and this doesn't seem to be negatively affecting my skin. I also have samples of the Rose and Camomile Oils and like them equally well, but believe for me they would be more suitable for summer or for younger skins.

I've used this daily for almost four months and what I've found is my skin is firmer, my skin tone is clearer, blemishes heal faster, I'm more radiant and overall my skin is more resistant to external irritants. Honestly, I don't know *why* this works so well because I had been using a very similar nutrient-rich, anti-aging oil blend (Burt's Bees) for over a year before trying the Jasmine Aromatic Care, and although Burt's Bees has been great, Darphin has been performing 100x better.
I didn't notice radical changes overnight. Instead my skin has slowly been looking better and better. The changes aren't dramatic but very similar to how skin looks when you get great sleep for a few nights in a row. It's marketed to mature skin types but the ingredients are very effective as an ANTI-aging treatment, so even those in their 20's can add this to their routine to give their skin protection and a means to repair environmental damage. I just bought my 2nd bottle - definitely recommended! Ingredients: prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, macadamia ternifolia seed oil, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, corylus avellana (hazel) seed oil, rosa rubiginosa seed oil, limonene, oenothera biennis (evening primrose) oil, aleurites moluccana seed oil, citrus grandis (grapefruit) peel oil, cananga odorata flower oil, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) flower oil, rubis idaeus (raspberry) seed oil, jasminum officinale (jasmine) flower wax, glycine soja (soybean) oil unsaponifiables, persea gratissima (avocado) oil unsaponifiables, tocopherol, cymbopogon martini oil, aniba rosaeodora (rosewood) wood oil, rosa damascena flower oil, linalool, geraniol, benzyl benzoate, benzyl salicylate, citronellol, farnesol, citral. continued >>

OK - this costs a lot!! I think it was 160$ (Canadian), which is steep! However, I am on my 2nd bottle and the 1st lasted about 9 months. Really, I couldn't bear my skin after I ran out! Moreover, I had a consultation with Canada's head Darphin advisor, and she did not recommend I continue with the jasmine, but I completely disregarded her. She was totally arrogant and was more interested in sales, IMO. Anyway, she felt that the jasmine was too rich for me - I am 41 but am lucky to have great skin. Still, I should be the poster child for this product - I really feel that it improves skin tone, brightness, texture and overall condition. I use it nightly and even in the day during stressful times or if I am lacking sleep. Because I have oily skin, I sometimes skip moisturiser after it, especially in summer (the Darphin advisor would have a fit, but my skin was tons nicer than hers, so I'll stick with my own method). Again, ask for a sample before purchase because it is alot of money if you don't agree with me.
EDIT: I posted my initial review 2 yrs ago...I still use and love this product. I use it much less in the humid summer months, but I always have it nearby.
EDIT: It is now 2011 and I have been using this for at least 6 years. 5 drops is all it takes for my face, neck and chest area.

This is amazing products. A little goes a long way. I got a 7ml deluxe sample. I have faithfully used it for almost 6 weeks every day, and I only used about 3ml so far! So, the full size 15ml bottle can last for about six months or even longer.
I am 31 and I experience my best skin conditions after I switch to Darphin line just from the beginning of this month. I used to have breakouts. This amazing thing even helps on my beakout. After using the aromatic purifying balm for several days, I did a hydrating mask for myself, then I apply this wonderful oil. When I massage on my face, the miracle happens, it pulls out lots of tiny whiteheads and blackheads and my skin never feel so great and clean although I regularly applying mask or peels. The next days, I cannot discribe how luminous my skin is because those things are pulled out.
The drawback is price. I find I can purchased Darphin online from some Canadian website and the price is only 2/3 of that in US. It makes my wallet more happy.

Can't tell you how gorgeous this aromatic oil is. While Rose Aromatic Care is for dehydrated, normal or mixed mature skin, this new Darphin's aromatic oil is for really demanding and dry mature skin. I highly recommend this oil to ladies over 40! I use it at night under Arovita C cream.
I must say that pure jasmin has a really weird smell (OK-let's be honest - I thought the scent of this oil was awful). But it is a completely natural plant scent, and you'll be amazed with effects of this aromatic oil. It really improves condition of the skin and has a noticeable revitalizing effect. Since I've been using this my skin is rejuvenated, refreshed and more soupple. This aromatic oil in conjuction with Arovita C cream are now my NO.1 night-care staples.
Yes, I will buy again and again. This is one of the best Darphin's products.

PONTIAC, Mich. - Jury selection continues Wednesday for Tucker Cipriano who along with Mitchell Young stands accused of beating Tucker's family with a baseball bat in 2012.
Prosecutors say Cipriano and Young beat Tucker's mother, Rose, and his brother, Sal, during an alleged robbery. The pair is accused of beating father Bob Cipriano to death and face first-degree murder charges.

Greg Cipriano has been very vocal about his frustration with the prosecutor for not offering the defendants a plea deal in hopes of sparing the family from reliving the horrific night they were attacked in court.
--Bob Cipriano
Cooper maintains she will not be accepting any type of deal in the case. Read: Prosecutor: Tucker Cipriano, Young will get no plea deal
