I am a 56 yr old woman and had very pronounced commas (or parenthesis)on the sides of my mouth. I am somewhat satisfied with the results (although I liked it better when it was still swollen).
Would I do it again?... absolutely. I should of done it sooner. My doctor told me of a fat transplant procedure which is permanent and I plan on returning to the same plastic surgeon who performed my procedure after 8 months.
When I look back at all the cosmetics, lotions and facial products I spent a fortune on throughout the years; ladies don't waste your money if you are in your 50's. Head for the a good plastic surgeon.

Beautiful and unusual artworks, jewelry, clothing, carpets, furniture, sculptures, ceramics, and woven goods will be for sale in the Museum's Asian and Egyptian galleries.
Treasures provides show-goers with the opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind 18th-21st century pieces from around the world—antique and unique "discoveries" to enjoy for generations. These vetted antiques and artworks reflect traditions of the countries in which the Penn Museum has conducted research for more than 100 years. Treasures Show & Sale is presented and produced by The Women's Committee to benefit the Museum's educational and outreach programs. Co-chairs of Treasures 2008 are Joanne H. Conrad and Helen S. Weary.
Experienced and new collectors, interior designers, home furnishers, clothing visionaries and style-setters are attracted annually to the variety of worldly goods available in a wide range of prices. "This is the place to 'shop the world,' have a wonderful experience, and benefit the Penn Museum," says Susan W. Catherwood, founding chair of Treasures.
Insights for Collectors: two illustrated talks will be presented on Saturday, October 25. Both programs are free with Treasures admission.
2-3 p.m., Collecting, Preserving and Presenting: Building a Personal African Art Collection, presented by Herman Bigham & Associates, Philadelphia, preservers and presenters of African Traditional Art; participants are invited to bring photos of artwork for review.
5-6 p.m., Tribal Weavings: Symbolism and Meaning: Through the Eyes of the Creators, presented by Peter Davies, owner/director of Turkana Gallery, NYC; lecturer, curator, and author of Antique Kilims of Anatolia; sponsored by the Philadelphia Rug and Textile Society.
The popular Blooming Treasures, creative floral arrangements in the galleries, are once again coordinated by Mary Jo Strawbridge. This year's arrangements are provided by Ikebana International of Philadelphia and feature the Ikenobo School, Ichiyo School, Ohara School, and Sogetsu School. Ikebana, the traditional art of Japanese flower arranging, follows ancient rules and forms. The arrangements are for enjoyment and are never judged.
An International Café/Bar and the Museum Shops will be open throughout the Treasures Show & Sale.

My next book will be The Life Plan Manifesto (working title), co-authored with my good friend, Daniel Harkavy. I am currently in the Colorado Rockies writing my part. I don't think I have ever been this excited about a book project.
If you are a subscriber to my blog, you are no doubt familiar with my ebook, Creating Your Personal Life Plan. For the last few years, I have given it away as an incentive for subscribing to my blog. So far, it has been downloaded 238,151 times.
I don't know how many people have followed through in actually writing a life plan, but I assume thousands, if not tens of thousands. If you are one of them, Daniel and I need your help.
What We Need
In one of the appendices, we want to include four sample life plans, written by people from different walks of life. Nothing is more instructive than seeing real examples written by real people.
We'd also like to create a "Gallery of Life Plans" on a new website we are creating. We want to tag these, so that people can search for those written by people in similar circumstances to their own.
If life planning has been helpful to you, this is your opportunity to inspire thousands—perhaps tens of thousands—of people with your example.
What You Need to Do
If you are willing to help, please take these four simple steps.
Use the template provided in my original ebook. Here's a blank Microsoft Word template to get you started. Or, if you prefer, an iWork Pages template.
Send your life plan to us via email. To make it simple, just click here. You can either attach a Word, Pages, or PDF document—it doesn't matter.Warning: Please don't worry about spelling, grammar, or even formatting. None of this matters. The important thing is the substance not the form. We will do a little clean-up on our end, if necessary. Don't worry about getting it perfect.
Tell us your life circumstances. Be brief. We only need a sentence or two, but we want to be able to tag these appropriately. Please include your gender, current job, marital status, and number and ages of children. For example:
"Male. Mid-level executive with a medium-sized manufacturing company. Divorced. Two kids, ages 12 and 10."
"Female. Stay at home mom. Married. Three children, ages 14, 12, and 9."
"Male. Small business owner in the restaurant industry. Divorced and remarried. Four children (combined), ages 21, 19, 15, and 12."
"Male. College student. Single. No children."
"Female. CEO of large publishing company. Single. No children."
Give us permission to use your life plan. We will only use your first name or, if you prefer, an alias (i.e., a fake first name). In the body of the email write, "You have my permission to use it in your new book or on your website."
What's In It for You
You're probably the kind of person who is happy to help with no expectation of return, but Daniel and I want to make it worth your while. Here's what you will receive if you participate.
A Sense of Contribution. This is an opportunity for you to impact the lives of other people. Your life plan could be the very thing that makes someone else say, "I can do this!" This could literally be the turning point in their life.
An Advanced Readers Copy (ARC). If we use your life plan in the book or the website, we will send you an autographed ARC of the book when it is ready later this year—several months before it is available to the public.
Your Name in the Book. We will include your name in the book's official Acknowledgments. We will say something generic like, "Thanks to [list of people] for their contribution to this book. You inspired us with your generosity."
A Spot on the Launch Team. When we get ready to publish the book, we plan to recruit people to help us. When I launched my book, Platform, 786 people applied to be part of the launch team. I only picked one hundred. In exchange for their help, I gave them several bonuses. You don't have to serve on the The Life Plan Manifesto launch team, but we'll reserve a spot should you want it.
Finally, to receive these items, we need to receive your life plan by July 31, 2013. Daniel and I can't wait to review what you have created!

Painted turtles are beautiful and popular animals. People often adopt them, however, before realizing how much work is involved in providing a painted turtle with a healthy and adequate habitat. If you are considering a painted turtle as a pet, it is very important to learn about their habitat.
The painted turtle is an aquatic turtle found all over North America. She is an olive or black shelled turtle who has a yellow plastron (the shell covering her belly). The painted turtle will have red and yellow stripes on her neck and legs. She will grow up to ten inches long and can live up to 25 years. She is an omnivore which means she eats bugs, fish, meat, fruits and vegetables. As an adult she will need 60 percent of her diet to be made up of fresh greens, other vegetables and fresh fruit.
Natural Habitat
In the wild a painted turtle will live in a variety of water sources. Slow-moving streams, ponds and lakes are common places to find painted turtles. In general, a painted turtle looks for three things in her environment: a place to bask in the sun, a good supply of greens and a muddy bottom to hibernate in. She will spend five to six months hibernating in the mud of shallow water during the winter. While she hibernates, she absorbs oxygen through hiser skin. During the warmer months she will forage for food in the morning and spend afternoons basking in the sun.
Artificial Habitat
Painted turtles are a high maintenance pet. She will need a large space with both water and dry land, which needs to be kept clean, and she will have very specific basking needs. For swimming she needs the water to be twice as deep as she is tall. The surface area should be at least three times her length by at least two times her length. A 30-gallon tank would be the minimal size for a painted turtle habitat. For dry land you will need some soil and gravel, and for basking you will need rocks for her to cling to in order to be half in and half out of the water--her preferred method of basking.
Artificial Lighting and Heating
Provide a full spectrum reptile light for your turtle. Your turtle will need lights for health reasons, such as to keep free of parasites, to gain vitamin D and for proper calcium metabolism. Proper lighting will also keep her appetite stimulated. Additionally, provide an incandescent bulb for the purposes of basking. Your turtle will need a toasty 85- to 88-degree basking spot. Her water should be kept warm as well. Use a submersible heater to keep the water at 75 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
Your painted turtle will need a clean pool of water, which means you will need to change the water regularly or invest in a filtration system. Even with a filtration system, GrizzlyRun.com recommends changing 25 percent of the water every week and all of the water every other week. This will cut down on bacterial and parasitic diseases as well as helping to keep the odor to a minimum.
Although it is fun to spot and watch painted turtles in the wild, you should not bring one home from the freedom of a pond or stream to put it into an aquarium. Instead, adopt a painted turtle from a pet shop, breeder or a painted turtle rescue. If you happen across a painted turtle in the wild--especially in late spring and early summer, which is the nesting season, leave it be. Even if you find it in the road and want to help, simply guard its crossing or assist it across the road and then leave her to her journey.

Gum Diseases
White gums?!
My gums have been white for afew months. I brush 3x a day, and use mouthwash. Afew people have told me that I may be anemic, but my doctor hasn`t said anything about it. They`re not painful, and haven`t swelled. They look normal, but white. Is something wrong with them? or is it normal?
White lesions can be a sign of some important pathology. But they are generally localized and not everywhere and they become symptomatic: burning session, pain, etc. It can be also a sign of hyperkeratinization (too much brushing or the effect of smoking).
Trying new oral products may have side effects too...but again they are generally together with other symptoms such as pain.
Nevertheless, if you are noticing that something is changing, something new that you did not notice before, you should go to a dentist. The ideal person is an oral pathology specialist. They generally practice at hospitals and/or universities.

Men and women alike can benefit from abdominoplasty. Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is used to flatten and shape the abdomen and wait by removing excess fat and skin, as well as tightening the abdominal muscles. The best candidates for abdominoplasty are in good shape but struggle with pockets of fat or loose skin that have not responded well to diet and exercise. The procedure is also often useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy. The tummy tuck procedure takes approximately two to five hours and can be performed with general anesthesia or local anesthesia with a sedative. There are a couple of slightly different techniques, which depend solely on the amount of work to be done, and the desired goals. Recovery time can range from two weeks to a few months. With a consistent, balanced diet and exercise regime, the results are long lasting. Abdominoplasty will likely leave a permanent scar stretching between the hips though underwear or a bikini should easily conceal it.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - New Mexico coach Steve Alford has come to expect strong defense from his 17th-ranked Lobos. Still, their latest effort took him by surprise.
New Mexico blocked a season-high 11 shots and outrebounded taller New Mexico State by four in a 73-58 victory Saturday.
``Our guys love challenges,'' Alford said. ``I don't think we thought about having 11 blocks. I would just as soon have maybe six blocks and six charges but be that as it may, 11 blocks is a lot of blocks in a game. And it came from a lot of different people.''
The bulk of them came from Alex Kirk, who equaled his career high with five, and guard Hugh Greenwood, who had a career-best four.
That surprised Aggies coach Marvin Menzies, as well.
``We didn't expect that,'' he said. ``They were fantastically more aggressive than we had seen from that perspective. We didn't help ourselves any by driving into a 7-footer (Kirk) thinking that he has no lift. But he has natural height so we have to be a little more in tune with where we're going.''
New Mexico's work on the boards came against a team that had been outrebounding opponents by a comfortable margin.
``This was a team with a plus-10 rebound average,'' Alford said. ``And we beat them four on the glass, so we did a lot of good things.''
That was a big key, Menzies said.
``They threw the first punch tonight and it was clear that they were the aggressor,'' he said. ``A telling statistic is rebounding. Any time you're outrebounded, typically the team is a little more aggressive, usually a little tougher. And they just out-toughed us tonight on the glass, which is an area that we take a lot of pride in.''
Kirk scored 15 points, while Kendall Williams also had 15 points as well a career-high eight rebounds and seven assists for New Mexico (11-0). Chad Adams added 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Seven of Kirk's points came during a decisive 11-2 run midway through the first half that turned a 17-14 lead into a 28-16 advantage.
Daniel Mullings scored 14 to lead New Mexico State (5-5) but he was the only Aggies player in double figures.
The Aggies shot just 32.8 percent from the field. New Mexico State went 8 for 30 in the second half and made four of 16 3-pointers.
The Lobos turned it over a season-low six times and shot 7 of 13 on 3-pointers while also going 26 for 35 from the foul line.
``I thought our energy was really good,'' Alford said. ``I thought our concentration was outstanding. And we did the things we've been doing. We outrebounded a very good team. We took care of the basketball and we got to the free throw line.''

Trumba's calendar-sharing not quite there
Between the lines, our colleague Mike Langberg comes off less than ethusiastic about the calendar-sharing product offered by start-up Trumba. (He starts out his review with enthusiasm, but by the end of the piece you're wondering why anyone would actually pay for this). Big-name local venture capital firms Kleiner Perkins and August Capital invested $4.75 million in the company last year.
Here's Gillmor: His current hopes are on the Chandler (scroll down for the calendar item) project at the Open Source Applications Foundation. Though he notes that Chandler still isn't ready for prime time either.

Practical advice & assistance
A Different Approach to Relocation
Are you a senior executive managing your own move? Or perhaps a busy HR Director with people to relocate? Would you prefer to focus on business rather than dealing with the minutiae of relocation? Would you like a boutique-style service?
Finding a new home is a very personal thing… whether you're looking for a permanent move, long term rental or just some temporary accommodation. It can also be extremely time consuming and more than a little frustrating. The last thing you need is the hassle of dealing with property agents, with their 'broad brush' approach, mountains of particulars or pages of websites to scroll through. Then there's assessing the locations, arranging all the viewings, finalising the details… it all takes time and can be stressful.
That's why I'm here. My expertise is finding you exactly the right property… specialising in moves to or within London and the surrounding area, I'm accredited to the highest level of ERQ (European Relocation Qualification) and have managed hundreds of successful executive relocations since 2004.
It's also my passion… whether you're looking for a family house, a temporary base or a city pied-à-terre, I love helping people find their dream home so for me, nothing is too much trouble. From our first one-to-one consultation, I will be working with you to make your move a success; personally managing every aspect of the relocation process for you. And it's not just about finding you the right property: I'll be on hand throughout the process, whenever you or your family need advice, assistance and support. I've come full circle from dealing with a high volume of relocations, employing a team of people and spending my time managing them and the processes needed. This has taught me that in order to provide the high level of service my clients expect, it's better to concentrate on individual moves on a one-to-one basis. This enables me to design your move specifically for you … giving you the boutique-style service you need; designed specifically to fit your schedule and your lifestyle; with complete independence, guaranteed.
So, if you'd prefer to be able to focus on your work, rather than worrying about the details of your relocation, simply give me a call or drop me an email… Finding the right home could be a lot easier than you expect!

Find out how climate change will affect us, why we should care about it, and what solutions we can employ. Climate change is the biggest global challenge the human race has ever faced. Our insatiable demand for energy from fossil fuels is changing the atmosphere, and in turn changing our climate. Climate change is already affecting the physical surface of the earth, the environment that provides our life support, our food supply, economy and society. These changes will accelerate over the next few decades
In this subject you will explore the impacts of climate change; why we should care about them, the science that underpins our understanding and how we can fix the problem before it's too late.

To be eligible for the Hugh Baird University Centre Moving On Scholarship, a 2nd year full time student will need to fulfil the following criteria:
The training bursary is a financial incentive to attract and retain new high quality graduates to become teachers in the Further Education (FE) sector. Bursary levels will vary according to the degree classification held by the trainee.
You don't need to pay for your tuition fees up front - Tuition Fee Loans cover university or college tuition fees and are paid direct to the university or college, by Student Finance England. They are available to all eligible students regardless of household income. The amount you pay back is dependent on how much you earn and not how much you owe and you won't need to start paying them back until you are earning more than £21,000 per year. The chart below gives examples of the repayments. After thirty years, outstanding loan amounts are written off. Student Loans will also help to support your living costs.
For more information, visit www.gov.uk/student-finance.
You must pay back tuition fee loans and maintenance loans. You also pay interest on these. You don't have to pay back other student finance, e.g grants and bursaries.
For up to date figures, please visit www.gov.uk/student-finance/loans-and-grants
As well as the Maintenance Loan, students can apply for a Special Support Grant. This is based on household income and does not need to be paid back. The Special Support Grant doesn't reduce the amount a student can borrow through the Maintenance Loan. If their household income is £45,000 or less, they will be eligible for the full Maintenance Loan no matter how much Special Support Grant they get. Any money awarded through the Special Support Grant won't be counted as income when working out entitlement to benefits or tax credits.
Who can get Special Support Grant?
These allowances provide extra financial help for disabled students. They are paid on top of standard student finance packages and are not dependent on income, nor do they have to be repaid. You may get DSAs if you have a disability, ongoing health condition, mental health condition or specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia.
Childcare Support
If you are a full time undergraduate student with childcare needs, you may qualify for a Childcare Grant. You may be eligible if:
(Note: if you, your husband, wife or partner gets the childcare part of Working Tax Credit, you won't be able to get a Childcare Grant as well).
The Adult Dependants' Grant
Full time university students with an adult who depends on them financially can apply for an Adult Dependants' Grant of up to £2,642. You can apply for this grant on top of any other student finance and you don't have to pay it back.
Council Tax
Households where everyone is a full time student are exempt from paying Council Tax. If you do get a bill, you can apply for an exemption by visiting www.gov.uk. To count as a full time student, your course must:
You will get a Council Tax bill if there is someone in your household who is not a full time student, but your household might still qualify for a discount.
Student Accommodation
Although we don't have our own halls of residence, we can give you information on the local area and can signpost you to lettings agents and housing associations.
Travel Passes
There are a range of passes available that permit travel across a variety of modes including buses, trains and even ferries if required. To find out about travel concessions for students, visit www.merseytravel.gov.uk/tickets.

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Cleansing Wipes / Exfoliator / Suitable for: Face / What it does: Cleanses, Exfoliates, "
I have been using the simple exfoliating wipes for years, but recently they have been far more expensive. I have been looking for alternatives and I saw these when I was on a weekly shop. I had also noticed these in the past and thought they looked well packaged. I have never really been too brand loyal when it comes to face wipes so I tend to buy what's on offer. I picked these up because they were half price and thought they were worthy of a try
These usually cost £2 for a pack of 25 which is a pretty decent price. I paid half price so I picked up too packets of them. They are decent value compared to others on the shelf such as simple and neutrogena face wipes. They are cheaper because they are own brand. I am happy to pay £2 for these but I believe that the price of these has rised in the past. I recall seeing these at £1.50 not too long ago.
Do they work?:
They are very rough which is good for exfoliating, they are also nice and damp when they come out of the packet. When you get them out of the packet you need to wipe all over your face to get rid of dead skin cells and also get dirt out from under your skin. I find my face feels nice and clean immediately after using the wipes so they are great for use before bed. The negatives i have had with these face wipes are that after using these I seems to develop some spots around my t zone. Especially on my chin and forehead! This may be for other reasons but I believe my skin doesn't like the chemicals in this. I don't think they are brilliant for my skin type. I have finished using the packet and I haven't really noticed a huge improvement in my skin, I do have fewer blackheads, yet white heads formed which I consider to be worse than blackheads. I think some products work better with different types if skin! This could be fine with yours. I will however, not be buying any of these again because they are not for me. I will be sticking to the simple wipes which work so much better with my skin! Even if they do charge far too much for them.
I am going to be giving these wipes a 3 star review. They effectively make my face feel clean after use, but they also bring me out in spots. They have a slight strange smell which also slightly puts me off theses. In would recommend that you try these as they may work for your skin type! I have used so many different tesco products and they usually work for me, this was a bit of a let down.
Thanks for reading my review! I hope it helped you out.

~The look of the product~
The wrapping of the wipes is different from the picture shown, they now come in a orange/peach colour with a circle in the centre with, "Tesco Clear Skin 25 Exfoliating Facial Wipes" The packaging isn't flash or eye catching, however they do not look as though the wipes were cheap to buy. As usual there is the list of ingredients on the back, once opened you need to use the product within 3months. The back also states that it contains anti-bacterial agent that removes dirt, oil and impurities. It is suitable for all skin types, alcohol free and dermatologically and clinically tested
~The price~ and ~Value for money~
Tesco is the only shop which sells these wipes, at 80p for a pack of 25 wipes. Working out the value for money each wipe is approximately 3p per wipe. I find this extreamly good value for money, also a little secret, you can often wash these with some liquid hand-wash and then apply your own cleanser to get more use out of the wipes with the exfoliation still there. However I would possibly not recommend this for people with sensitive skin (I do have sensitive skin and it does not cause any adverse effects, however I would not wish to cause anyone else harm by recommending it)
~The smell~and~the look/feel of product~
The wipes are a simple white colour with one side with a smooth side (which can be used to clean any left over of make up off) The other side is a slightly rougher side which is the exfoliating side. The wipes have a slight clean fresh smell on them however this is not transferred to the skin. The wipes are moist and remain moist whilst in the packet (as long as the seal remains sealed when not in use)
~Personal experience~
I have been using these wipes for over a year now and cannot find any faults with them at all. I tend to use them in the morning and scrunch up the wipe with the exfoliation side on the outside, then I rub the wipe in a circular motion to clear any dead/flaky skin cells off the face (sometimes when I feel as though my face is grimy one use of these and I feel 'as fresh as a daisy') Having sensitive skin, I have never experienced any adverse reactions to the wipes, I find that after using the wipes my face is a little red which may concern others but this is the blood coming to the surface after using the wipes in the circular motion.
~Final notes~
I would rate this product 5/5 I have no problems at all with the product, they work, smell nice and make my skin feel refreshed. Please feel free to comment on anything you wish to know about the product but which I have not put in this review, I have tried to write about everything I would wish to know but a few things may have escaped my mind.
These exfoliating facial wipes are such good value for money! They are around £1.80 for a pack of 25, which i use in around 2 months if i exfoliate every other day. The wipes have a rough side for exfoliating and a softer side for cleansing, a 2 in 1 wipe!
I have really sensitive skin, so i need to be careful what i use, but these have just the right roughness needed to give my skin a good exfoliation and cleanse! I used to have really dry skin on my forehead and cheeks and these wipes keep it under control, enough so that i can now wear make up without my skin drying out and looking horrible.
When i first started using them, i noticed that i always had loads of the wipe still wet and ready to be used so i started to cut them in half, now the pack lasts twice as long. I would recommend doing this, as half is more than enough to exfoliate the face!
Of late I have had a fair few spots and not been getting enough sleep and my skin on my face has suffered for it, not only with spots but I feel my skin looks dull and tired which is why when I spotted these wipes priced at 77p a packet (but on offer at the time I bought them as a buy one get one free) I decided to try them out.
Personally I use make up remover wipes when in a hurry and/or travelling and stuff but do much prefer the method of seperate cleanser and toners as a rule for a deep down clean. However these wipes are not designed to remove make-up as such, though sure you could use them if you want to lift light make up off (no good on heavy though!)
The Packaging:
The packaging for these have changed only recently from what you can see on the review photograph at the top of this page to it now being a bright orange oblong shaped plastic packet with an adhesive clear strip to the middle of it which under that you pull the wipes from. On the front of the packet I'm told they are Tesco Clear Skin 25 Exfoliating Facial Wipes and that they help to prevent spots, are suitable for people with sensitive skin and paraben free. Other information on the back of the packet includes being told a bit about the product, directions for use, ingredients and warnings are given, I'm told that once the packet is initially opened to use up the wipes up within 3 months and contact details for Tesco are given.
A Bit About The Product According To The Information Given On The Packet:
The Tesco clear skin range has been especially formulated to help keep problem skin clear and healthy. The clear skin exfoliating wipes are a convenient and effective way to cleanse your skin. Specially formulated with an antibacterial agent to help fight bacteria and spots. Removes dirt, oil and impurities to leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed. Gentle exfoliating action helps to unclog pores for clearer and healthier looking skin.
Suitable for all skin types.
Alcohol free.
Dermatologically and clinically tested.
Using Them:
Well like I said earlier these are not really suitable for getting rid of a lot of make up. I use these on a relatively clean face like when I've just woken up in the morning!
Basically these are a thin, papery and white... slightly bumpy textured sheets which are large and square in shape and not too thin though like I said rather than feeling of soft thick material these are rather papery and slightly rough to the touch and when using them.
They smell none distinctive really and are slightly damp. Don't worry abut the smell though it smells very fresh and light and suitable for anyone to use as the smell doesn't stay put once used anyway.
I basically rub one gently over my face and find the sheet to not tear or shred or anything like that. It is slightly scratchy when using it even if I go gentle however it doesn't make my face red, sore or scratch or anything like that.
The wipe does appear to wipe off grease and grime and I can see the residue of those things on the sheet after using it. Skin feels tighter and very smooth when I have wiped this over my skin and face is left feeling clean and with no residue on it at all.
I do think these are a great buy and I like what they do though the sheet does feel cheap in the way of it's thinness and it is rough but I do feel that it cleans the skin well and with ease and I have noticed less spots and blackheads appearing since I've started using them. Also if you have dry bits of skin or a little scabby bits of skin this removes it with ease and without hurting or scarring you. These don't make my skin hurt or tingle and I find them great to use the only real drawback with these is that they don't effectively remove make-up but remember they are not designed for that anyway!
These are effective but I will be looking for a better feeling quality wipe next time to be honest as I'm willing to pay a wee bit more for better quality.
Only available in Tesco stores.
This review is also posted on Ciao under this same username.
I am really trying to step up my skin care regime at the moment, just trying to make the best of what I've got and all that. I know that regular exfoliating can make a real different to the appearance of my skin but I'm not very consitant and sometimes I go longer than I should without exfoliating.
I was having a good look at the beauty products in Tescos, as it is my favourite aisle in the shop and I spotted a packet of their 'Clear Skin Exfoliating Facial Wipes' I had never seen a product like this before and the whole concept really appealed to me, it seemed that they were a quick way of exfoliating which I thought might encourage me to do it more regularly.
The wipes also were quite a good price, costing 77p for a pack of 25, they were certainly worth trying, so i decided to give them a go.
That evening I gave the wipes a go, I removed one from the packet and gentle wiped it in a circular motion over my whole face. I could feel that the wipes had a knobbled texture and it was these little knobbles that were exfoliating my skin. The wipe did feel quite rough against my skin those and it wasn't really enjoyable. Afterwards I had a good look in the mirror to see if there was any noticeable difference to the appearance of my skin. Normally when I use my old gel type exfoliator, my appearance is instantly improved, it just seems to glow but using these wipe I didn't really notice any difference at all.
Exfoliating is supposed to remove dead skin cells and unblock pores resulting in a clearer and more glowing appearance but these wipes just didn't cut the mustard. I do think that they would be handy for travelling but I certainly won't be replacing my existing exfoliator.
*~Tesco - Exfoliating Face Wipes~*
*~Exfoliate Away The Day~*
£1.86 for a 25 pack, which works out as 8p per wipe. They are sometimes on offer as buy one get one free.
The wipes come in a pack of 25, the packet is dark purple which fades into light purple lower down the packet. In the centre there a three blue rings and in the centre of the rings is the Tesco logo in light blue Clear skin in large dark blue letters and deep cleansing facial wipes in smaller dark blue letters. There is a sticky flap to open the packet and to re-seal, you have to be careful when you re-seal to make sure that it doesnt loose its stickiness. The packaging is rather plain but the blue fading does catch your eye and you usually see facial wipes in white packets.
*~The Wipes~*
They look like something youd wash the dishes wish, they have a bumpy texture with tiny holes to exfoliate your skin.
I use one twice a week, theyre pretty good for cleaning off any make-up and dirt and you afterwards you can feel how much smoother your skin is. I know you wouldnt exfoliate around your eyes but if you do happen to wipe over them it does sting for a minute or so, if this happens to me I usually put some eye gel or moisturiser on as soon as possible. They are for sensitive skin and as long as youre not too rough when you rub them over your face you dont get any irritations, I tend to wipe around in a gentle circular motion wiping a bit harder on areas that are prone to dry skin eg. forehead . Ive never actually seen exfoliating wipes with the texture of these, they usually all look like normal face wipes so its good to know that these were really designed for exfoliating and it wasnt just written on the packet to make the product look better.
The wipes contain an antibacterial ingredient which helps prevent spots and fights bacteria. It helps remove dead skin cells and removes dirt, oil and impurities.
They contain: Aqua, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Parfum, Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol, Cetylpyridinium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, 2-bromo-2-nitro propane-1, 3-Diol.
The exfoliating wipes gently remove dead skin, prevent pores from blocking and help to maintain a healthier-looking complexion /

I got a lee 440gr mold with the check base... after asking about checks a few stated that a lead bullet can be shot without the checks... Can I shoot a bullet with the check base without a gas check on it?? I know the charge would have to be less than max. Just curious if it will do harm to the barrel in any way to shoot them without the checks when it was designed to have checks on them.

In preparation for this auction issue, we asked Dana Mecum, CEO of Mecum Auctions, to answer a few questions about the current trends in the Corvette hobby. He has a widely varied automotive background and can give an inside view to the current state of Corvette affairs nationwide.
CF: Dana, I want to thank you for taking the time for this interview today.
DM: You are very welcome, Alan.
CF: Can you give us a little history of how you got started in the auction business?
DM: My father has sold cars for approximately 55 years. He started selling Studebakers and Packards in the '50s, so I've been around cars my whole life. I started out selling new Buicks and Pontiacs at my father's new car agency, but I always gravitated toward the unusual cars. Even when I could drive a brand-new Pontiac (of course, Pops would never let me drive a new Trans Am), I always drove year-old cars that were performance-oriented. From 1975 through 1988, I had various collector cars and Corvette business interests. In 1975, I had a shop specializing in Corvettes called Mecum Sport Center. In the '80s, my family had a Corvette dealership called C'Jacks, which always had over 100 Corvettes in inventory. In 1988, I had quite a large collector car inventory, and I decided to use those cars as a centerpiece and attract consignments to go along and have an auction. With the first auction, I did not really have a long-term business plan. However, at the end of the auction, a tornado blew everything down. Seemed like quite a nuisance at the time, but long term it was a blessing-here we were, this little first-time event, with national press and exposure.
CF: How many auctions do you hold each year?
DM: For 2006, we have nine auctions scheduled.
CF: Has there been a significant increase in your auction sales over the last few years? If yes, what do you attribute this to?
DM: There has been a tremendous increase in our gross dollar volume. The actual number of auctions we perform is down from previous years. At one time, we were up to 27 auctions a year. I felt like a professional ball player or musician since we were always on the road. we were continually growing horizontally, but none of the auctions or events were getting better individually. So we made the business decision to reduce the number of auctions and spend more time and energy on what we already had and make those auctions great. The business plan has been tremendously successful as all our auctions have tripled in size in the last 211/42 years.
CF: Do you think there are any Corvette trends in this current marketplace? If yes, what are they?
DM: I feel the trends in the Corvette marketplace are pretty well established and lend themselves to the past. While musclecars and Corvettes have escalated in value at a tremendous rate, the good thing about Corvettes over musclecars is the Corvette market is the broadest, most established collector car marketplace. What I'm saying here is there are so many people involved that it holds the prices steady. The current trend of escalating prices is primarily centered on where Corvettes have been a long time: factory paperwork, high-quality cars, and big-block cars are your leaders.
CF: What percentage of your sales consists of Corvette sales?
DM: We offer between 4,000 and 5,000 cars a year for sale among our nine auctions. And, typically, 1,250 to 1,500 are Corvettes or about one-third.
CF: Concerning your Corvette sales over the last two to three years, do you know the percentage of restored numbers-matching cars versus modified Corvettes? If no, try a guess.
DM: That's a very hard question to answer. As far as modified Corvettes, a very low percentage of Corvettes we offer for sale are modified. We do offer a lot of cars that either have restoration motors or non-original matching numbers motors-that is to say, the right motor for the car, but not the one it actually left the factory with. I would say over 90 percent of the cars we offer are original in the sense they have either the original engines or a correct-type motor, even it it's not matching numbers.
CF: What do you feel the Corvette Fever readership would like to know about the Mecum auction process, and why should they sell their Corvette through you?
DM: The Mecum Auction process is centered on providing great service and repeat business. Mecum provides a great knowledge of Corvettes and selling cars, and has a great reputation with buyers knowing they are getting a quality Corvette and a car that is actually what it is represented to be.
CF: How is your event different from other well-known auctions?
DM: The primary difference would be with the most visible, Barrett Jackson. They require sellers to enter their cars at no reserve. We allow sellers to control their own destiny and have a reserve on their property. The no-reserve atmosphere presents a casino effect. Yes, sometimes somebody wins and breaks the bank. There are also losers when good cars fall through the cracks. PR wise, you only hear about the winners. You don't hear about the 30 percent that went home unhappy with the results. In our business model, the 30 percent that were unhappy with the results at least still have their car. we are very proud that we are not promoting the casino effect. We are a professional business where a seller retains that right of his car's future in his own hands.
CF: Is there any TV coverage at any of your events? Why or why not?
DM: Yes, but not national coverage. The reason we do not have national TV coverage is because it is a full-time job to obtain, and we've been busy keeping up with the growth of our company. it's part of our future plans, but with our corporate growth of almost 400 percent in less than 30 months, we haven't had time to deal with it.
CF: Do you currently own any collector cars?
DM: Yes, I'm on my fourth collection. My first collection I sold to get married, buy a house, and have kids. My second collection I sold to start the business. My third collection I sold to save the business. I am currently on my fourth collection, and we've done very well, and I really do plan on keeping these cars.
CF: Any Corvettes?
DM: Yes, I have three favorites.(1) A '57 Aztec Copper (Chip Miller car). Just last weekend I drove it to the New Glarus Hill climb in New Glarus, Wisconsin. I made seven runs up the hill, drove two hours there, and two hours home. It is such a great car. Most of the old Alfas and Jaguars were scared of the hill after two or three runs.
(2) A '67 convertible 427/390, commonly known as the Sunshine Car. The top never goes up. I drive it all the time, and she's never been caught in the rain. I just drove it on a five-hour trip to Wisconsin to look at other old Corvettes last Sunday.
(3) A '67 Corvette 427/435 convertible, the original car that the Bloomington Gold Survivor Award was created around.
CF: If a person presently didn't own any collector cars but wanted to get into the marketplace, would you have any suggestions for that person?
DM: Yes. First, buy what you like. I've seen people purchase things for value. Did you ever try to sell something later that you didn't like or knew nothing about? Always make what you like in the way of style and so on, the first part of your decision. The next thing is, if you can afford the best, buy the best, even if you pay a higher price than the current market. The best always goes up in value. Average cars don't always increase in value.
CF: Are there any significant sales trends or differences in your auctions compared to one another? Is there a different type of buyer at each event?
DM: Yes, there are differences. First difference is Bloomington Gold is an all-Corvette auction. Our Spring Classic, while it has some Corvettes, is primarily a musclecar auction. Then we also have what we would brand as National events and some smaller regional auctions. The National events bring in the big cars and big money collectors. The regional events are where you find more entry level and "driver" cars that pass from general hobbyist to general hobbyist.
CF: What do you attribute to your success?
DM: We like what we do. From there, we believe in repeat business, and we believe in the win-win philosophy for buyer and seller.
CF: From your perspective, where is all this money being spent on collector cars coming from?
DM: We have the largest group of people ever in the history of the world coming of age when they have disposable incomes to spend on luxuries. Not only are their kids gone and the house paid for, we also have the great generation from the '30s and '40s leaving us, and there are more people than ever inheriting money. It's really simple economics: there are a lot of people that have done well in life, and cars are our art of the 20th century, and they are ready to reward themselves with a luxury item.
CF: Has the market peaked?
DM: The market will never peak, but it will become more select. What I'm saying is, your great cars, for example, a '67 L88 convertible with paperwork, will always increase in value. A great '67 435 with great paperwork will always increase in value. A '67 435 that's a good car with no paperwork is going to stabilize. Bottom line-prices are always going to go up, but the marketplace is going to get thinner and thinner for the great cars.
CF: Looking back on your last four to five events, what do you envision for the rest of the '06 auction season?
DM: We look at the rest of the 2006 auction season to be a tremendous growth boom for us. We expect that because in the last 18 months we have had so many new customers come into our client base. Our philosophy is customer service, so if we do a good job with all those who have bought and sold with us, our growth pattern will continue because we have so many new customers to grow with us.
CF: Are you planning any major changes to your events for 2006/2007? Beyond?
DM: Yes. Our auctions have always been strictly auctions. With the growth and size of our auctions, we are going to work on lifestyle and add more vendors and things going on at the auctions so there are ancillary things for people to do besides just buying and selling when they are at our events.
CF: Given the huge amounts that many Corvettes are currently selling for, what do you think the Corvette hobby will do over the next year?
DM: This is a two-part answer. First of all, a few Corvettes are selling for high values but if you look closely at the majority of Corvettes, the Camaros and Chevelles are actually selling for more. So there will be a correction, and remaining Corvettes will increase in value to sell for more than Camaros and Chevelles. Secondly, the Corvette hobby /industry of collectibles are going to increase.
CF: Do you think that your auction sale prices affect the hobby in general? Why or why not?
DM: Yes. Auctions have become the vogue way for people to buy and sell. And like any averaging, if you take the highs where things did a moon shot and sold for too much, and you toss out the ridiculous lows, if people just look at the averages, they can really see how much the investments are growing.
CF: What do you think about the future of the Corvette hobby long-term?
DM: Speaking of it as an industry, as with anything else, it needs to constantly revitalize. The core people of the Corvette hobby that started in the early '70s are all getting to the age that they are not as active, and there is going to have to be revitalization, getting young people interested and active.
CF: Dana, I want to personally thank you for taking the time to answer these questions for CF.
DM: It has been my pleasure.

Ammanford Netball Club has started the summer season with a series of great results, having won four out of their first five games.
The latest fixture saw Ammanford take on Tawe B.
With a squad of 10 players, Ammanford found themselves struggling to link passes and score goals in the first quarter as Tawe played a tight disrupting game.
By the end of the quarter, Ammanford found themselves 8-3 behind.
A few changes in the second quarter and the introduction of veteran shooter Wendy Fisher, with Beth Gilbert moved to wing defence, saw the team adopt a more settled approach with Catrin Rees and Emily Janes linking well.
As soon as the ball reached the attacking third, the goals began popping in.
Alison Jones and Gemma McWilliams put pressure on the Tawe shooters and at the end of the quarter, Ammanford had turned things around to lead 14–11.
With Brittany Lewis brought back on in defence and McWilliams moving into the centre, Ammanford found their rhythm as Amy James tore around the court intercepting over and over again to ensure her side maintained their lead.
The last quarter saw Leah Malloney back in the centre position and she fed the ball to Gilbert who in turn looked for mother and daughter shooters, Sian and Wendy Fisher as Ammanford dominated and went to clinch a 24–18 victory.

All Blacks turn to Dowd
Tony Brown comes onto the bench in the only other All Blacks change
New Zealand have selected Craig Dowd for Saturday's key World Cup clash with England at Twickenham.
Auckland prop Dowd replaced Kees Meeuws against Tonga on Sunday, and is brought in to play his 50th Test for the All Blacks.
Full-back Jeff Wilson will also reach the same landmark in the Pool B match at Twickenham.
Otago's Tony Brown will replace Carlos Spencer on the replacements' bench, a serious knee injury having forced Spencer out of the tournament.
Hart: We have advantage
All Blacks coach John Hart believes the high-profile build-up to the showdown in England will give his side an advantage.
"England have talked about this game for 15 months," said Hart.
"Clive Woodward has been talking it up for a long time and I think there's more pressure on England than on us. They are obviously feeling very confident but they have talked themselves into a huge challenge.
"I thought England played exceptionally well in the 26-26 game in 1997 but it was a game we could have won convincingly.
"We're playing them at the peak of their fitness. They are well prepared, well selected and as strong as they have ever been.
"In fact they're as strong a side as the All Blacks have ever faced at Twickenham - but the pressure is more on England."
Hart believes either side can go on to win the tournament even if they lose on Saturday.
"Saturday's not a final, it's a qualifying game," said Hart. "And there's a long way to go. You've got to be very careful thinking this game is that big."
The bad news for England is that Jonah Lomu, according to Hart, is ready to peak at the perfect time.
"He has grown all year," said Hart. "He is as well as he has ever been."
And the coach believes the criticism the All Blacks received after their struggle with Tonga was unwarranted.
"I didn't think we were that bad against Tonga," he said. "There was some looseness in our passing but I was thrilled with the way we finished.
"It was a great defensive effort to keep Tonga out. I am not part of the gloom brigade. I am excited about what these All Blacks can do and I think we'll have an exciting match."

On March 7, in a special ceremony in Washington, D.C., four farms and two processors were recognized for sustainable dairy practices that deliver outstanding economic, environmental and/or social benefit.
Now, they are the stars of a new Got Milk? ad.
Appearing are: Kenn Buelow, of Holsum Dairies in Hilbert, Wis.; Marie Audet, of Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport, Vt.; Ted Sniegocki, of the Dean Foods Company-AgPower Partners collaboration in Gooding, Idaho; Steve Rowe, of Darigold, Inc., in Seattle, Wash.; Dolores Werkhoven, of Werkhoven Dairy in Monroe, Wash., and Mike Brubaker, of Brubaker Farms in Mount Joy, Pa.
The ad appeared in the April issues of Dairy Foods and Supermarket News.
The inaugural U.S. Dairy Sustainability Awards even caught the attention of the White House.
Officials from the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, along with the award winners, were invited to the White House
later in the day on March 7 for a dialogue with Cecilia Munoz, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, as well as representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency and others.

Customer service is getting its due, as more and more retailers are betting on enhanced experience and improved productivity to drive top-line sales. According to a recent benchmark survey, "The State of Retail Workforce Management," conducted by Retail Systems Research (RSR) and sponsored by workforce-management-solution provider Kronos, Chelmsford, Mass., retailers have realized that today's customers demand quality, convenience and personalized service over price.
Seventy-eight percent of the 160 global retail responders said that quality and consistency of customer service, and driving store sales, are the top business issues they are looking to improve through work-force-management technology.
John Anderson, global practice leader of retail at Kronos, said that this new survey may well signal the end of the low-price model in retail. "Retailers have traditionally competed somewhat on product selection and mostly on price, using deep-discounting strategies to increase store traffic," Anderson said. Yet, he continued, mounting competition from other retailers as well as e-commerce channels are forcing retailers to abandon strategies that focus exclusively on product selection and price and, instead, focus on customer service and the in-store experience.
"The customer experience in a retail environment is highly dependent on the quality of the retailer's work force, and the way that work force is managed," said Anderson. While, in previous years, retailers sought ways to remove labor costs from the business, today's merchants are emphasizing putting labor back into stores—by either maximizing the effectiveness of labor or adding employees.
Survey results showed that 66% of respondents offer "high touch" customer service, and 78% said their work force has become more important as a customer-service strategy over the last three years. Just 2% admitted that their work force has become less important.
"The work force has long been thought of as the retailer's largest controllable expense," said Anderson, "and it is now being regarded as the retailer's most strategic asset. The work force is the primary interface between the retailer and the marketplace, and the work force enables the retailer to deliver on its brand promise."
Survey respondents avowed high standards for managing their work forces—61% said they saw effective workforce management as key to driving customer satisfaction; 55% said workforce management provided the opportunity to increase sales; 44% felt it would improve employee productivity; and 37% saw workforce management as a way to reduce labor costs.
The research, however, found no clear pattern when analyzing the anticipated value from improving work-force quality. Forty-three percent of respondents felt that work-force quality improvements would result in increased opportunities for personal development and training; 42% said it would lead to more effective planning of work-force needs; and 36% believed improving work-force quality would result in better monitoring of employee progress, development and performance.

Amherst Co. Officials Make Major Drug Bust
Update: 10:00 p.m.
Madison Heights, VA - Two people behind bars and 12 ounces of cocaine is off the streets. Amherst County Sheriff Jimmy Ayers says a man and a woman were picked up with the drugs at the Amelon Shopping Center in Madison Heights.
Ayers says deputies seized 12-13 ounces of cocaine as well as $13,000 in cash. This was a part of an undercover drug sting that began yesterday in Durham, North Carolina.
Ayers says the man arrested Wednesday was distributing in Amherst County, in the Amelon shopping center for at least one year. Ayers says the man was traveling from Durham Wednesday, and while headed north, he stopped in Halifax County where he picked up a woman.
The pair then traveled further north, and at around 5 p.m., they were met by six different law enforcement agencies including police from North Carolina and the ATF; all waiting for them in the shopping center.
People that work there shocked it could even happen, "People should feel safe about it because they know somebody's out there controlling this and got a hold of it, and it's not just still out there" said Gabby Vitale, the manager of a restaurant in the shopping center.
"The way it's impacting our society every day, it's a good day when you can say you've gotten that amount of drugs off of our streets" said Ayers.
38 year old Alphonso Roman Sanchez of Durham, North Carolina is facing several charges including distribution of cocaine, possession with the intent to distribute and distribution of Cocaine within 1-thousand feet of a school. 37 year old Marsha Jo Herrera of Nathalie is facing charges as well, including Distribution of Cocaine and Distribution within 1-thousand feet of a school.
The suspects are being held in the Blue Ridge Regional Jail / Amherst Adult Detention Center without bond pending an advisement hearing in the Amherst General District Court.
Amherst Co., VA - There was heavy police activity in Madison Heights Wednesday Night at the Amelon Shopping Center.
Amherst County Sheriff Jimmy Ayers says an undercover sting started in Durham Tuesday and ended in Madison Heights Wednesday night.

Editorial: Court right to OK Gorge wind project
The Washington Supreme Court was right to approve a wind-energy project in Skamania County.
Seattle Times Editorial
THE Washington Supreme Court has ruled that the state properly permitted a wind-turbine project just outside the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
But it is outside, and the ruling makes a strong case that the regulators followed state law. The final call was made a year ago by former Gov. Chris Gregoire, whose decision, the court said, "does not appear to be subject to any restrictions."
In her approval last year, Gregoire noted that in 2006 the voters of Washington passed Initiative 937. This requires that, by 2020, utilities obtain 15 percent of their electricity from renewable sources, not counting dams. That means wind, and wind turbines have to be put where the wind is.
Gregoire did reduce the number from 50 to 35 to protect views of ridgelines from inside the scenic area.
The result will be towers up to 426 feet high spotted through a forest that will continue to be logged.
Skamania County government wants the project; the county has never recovered from the decline in the timber industry, and the unemployment rate there is 9 percent. The site was not zoned, which means the county will accept any land use not previously declared to be a nuisance.

text: The Guardian's Tom Phillips has an excellent piece today on poor residents of Rio de Janeiro being bulldozed from their homes to make way for the 2014 World Cup in 2014 and 2016 Olympic Games. Phillips visted the recently-demolished shantytown called Favela do Metro on the north side of the city, where a neighborhood once home 1,000 people has been reduced to rubble. There are disputing narratives about why the homes had to go. Residents say there were told to make way for new parking lot. City officials have a vaguer explanation involving notions like urban "transformation." Either way, it's an well-done story on an under-reported side of a city in the grip of Olympic fever.

Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) - The BUNK Portolio 1972
BUNK is the title given to a series of collages Paolozzi produced in Paris and London from c.1947 to 1952. The word BUNK was derived from a printed detail in one of the collages 'Evadne in Green Dimension', and was also the title of Paolozzi's now seminal lecture to members of the Independent Group at the ICA in April 1952. The main feature of the lecture was a fast paced series of projections through an epidiascope of not only the so-called BUNK collages but also whole pages from magazines and other ephemera. Whitford wrote in the foreword to the 1972 BUNK portfolio 'already in 1952 it was all there: science fiction, sex, technology, the movies, mass advertising, comics, packaging. A source-book of images prepared for future historians and sociologists who may want to tell our story in pictorial symbols. The ephemeral had been raised to the level of art; the underrated, undervalued and misunderstood had been proposed as the key to an understanding of contemporary culture.'
The BUNK presentation was a key moment in the development of British Art, especially as a formative influence on the emergence of what we now know as Pop art. On delving back into his archive when selecting work for his 1971 Tate retrospective Paolozzi realised how pioneering his BUNK collages were and the decision to create a portfolio of facsimiles of a group of 46 of these collages was no doubt intended to reassert he position he felt he deserved as the father of pop art for a new generation.
Paolozzi took 46 of his collages to Chris Betambeau at Advanced Graphics who agreed to produce a set of exact facsimiles in an edition of 150. The original elements of the collages were reprinted using lithography and or screenprinting, several were then hand-torn, creased and glued onto backing sheets or had collage elements pasted on top to produce an almost identical appearance to the originals. Thus in this print series Paolozzi had added yet another dimension to his exploration of originality and mass production, 'a curious type of pun'. After their publication the V & A organised a touring exhibition of these prints in 1973 entitled 'Bunk. A box-file of images in print'.
These 1972 BUNK prints are now in the permanent collections of the Tate Gallery, V & A, Art Institute Chicago, Art Gallery of New South Wales, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra among others. Prices range from £75 to £650 and we have just one of each.

Carnival testing all-inclusive beverage package
A couple weeks ago, Carnival began testing an all-inclusive drink program aboard Carnival Victory.
Called the "My Awesome Bar Program", it costs $42.95 per person per day and of course the 15 percent gratuity will be added. The plan covers wine, beer, liquor, soda, and non-alcoholic frozen cocktails.
Caveats: 1) the drinks cannot cost over $10 on an individual basis, 2) purchases of bottles of wine and drinks over $10 will receive a 25 percent discount, and 3) everyone in the same cabin who is 21 or over must buy the program.
Whether it is worth it is up to the guest. I usually have a jaundiced eye on drink packages since my feeling is the cruise lines wouldn't do them unless it increased their revenue. The bet is that most who buy the package won't drink enough to get their money's worth, and thus the cruise line wins.
No word on how long the test will run, or if they will add other ships.
So at an average cost of $8.50 for a typical cocktail that is about 5 drinks a day.. I don't think I would get my money's worth. Plus my wife doesn't drink nearly as much as I do. So I agree with you Dave, this is a profit enhancement. Much like the soda card deal. I figured that out to be 3 to 4 sodas a day for breakeven too. You are better off buying them without unless you drink a like of soda.
prob. a dumb question....does this only cover single drinks....what if one wants to get a "bucket of cold beer"
It says one drink at a time. There is also a limit of 15 drinks per day.
WOW 15 drinks does sound like a lot in one day, how would they ever keep track of that?
I think if I did the 15 a day I might not remember my cruise LOL !
I wondered about the drink tracking too. Perhaps they still swipe the card and let the computer keep up with it. If you are over 15 it will spit out a regular drink receipt for you to sign.
What? You don't think they will use the honor system?
Of course they could use the honor system, or perhaps a field sobriety test.
On our Rock Legends cruise (4-day) they said it was the biggest alcohol sales of any cruise. Even the HOG cruise. Not sure how many drinks a day people were having! It wasn't me. :)
Yeah, they said it even beat sales for the 7-night cruises and it was just 4 nights. But there were no drunken incidents or signs of rowdy behavior that I saw. The bartenders and waiters were giddy over the amount of tips they hauled in.

Victoria Beckham has proven she's a top-notch designer, turning out curve-enhancing creations that celebs like Kim Kardashian and Kate Winslet love to wear.
And on Monday, Michelle Williams debuted a whimsical look from Posh's girlie new dress line Victoria, Victoria Beckham at the Academy Awards Nominations Luncheon in Beverly Hills, Calif.
PHOTOS: See what the stars wore last night
The sleeveless collared ivory sheath dress featured puffy blue clouds and sequin rain drops. Instead of Beckham's signature tight-fitting silhouette, the garment hung loosely on the My Week With Marilyn actress' thin frame.
"All of the pieces are fun," Beckham told Us Weekly of her latest deigns. "They make you smile."
Tell Us: Would you wear Michelle's cloud dress?

Magic Cookie Bars
Holiday cookie season is just around the corner... so who's getting an early start baking?! I'm looking forward to all the holiday baking in store and this year will be different from previous years. How so? Well, for one, I'll be focused on gluten free baking! This weekend I did some baking with my son, Joel, and we made these Magic Cookie Bars together. These cookie bars have a graham cracker crumb cookie base, topped with a decadent mixture of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, flaked coconut and walnuts. And yes, these were gluten free! Honestly, I wasn't really planning on getting an early start to holiday baking this year. I just started working full time back in the corporate world this past week and I'm still adjusting. Every night this past week, I've been so exhausted after a full day of work, the 2 hour (total) commute and coming home to figure out meals, household chores and balancing being a mom and wife while keeping sane. I guess after being a stay at home/work at home mom for the past year and a half, I need to transition into this new schedule slowly. But thankfully, there are the weekends. Like this one. I got a chance to spend some quality time with my son and we had a fun time playing in the kitchen!
