Just sent you two private messages with the two pages of the Teva leaflets.
H x
What a pain, sounds like people need to be complaining to the GP surgery about the problems they are having otherwise it will not change. I am sure it is totally wrong to put the leaflet of another brand into a packet!!
What I will do is copy the leaflet from one of my packets and post it on here for you.
Honestly these people, when will they realise that we are the experts in this, we are the ones taking it and know the difference it makes when brands are swapped!!

Hi Helena, thanks for the information. I have been back to the pharmacy today, unfortunately it is tied to our doctors practice and lots of people in our village are experiencing problems with them. I double checked with them and I have Teva pills in a Myla box? He said he didn't have enough Myla to give me so split them, I corrected him on this as he gave me all Teva just put them in another box, I asked about the leaflet which he then gave to me but this is a Wokhardt leaflet as he doesnt have either Teva or Myla leaflets!! I just want to keep to one brand for a few months to see if the side effects get any better and its making life difficult when they are muddling them up. I have another perscription due on 9th January and will see what comes then and will then make sure I ask up front for the same brand. He didn't seem totally convinced that different brands would be any different... he would if he tried them!
Watch this space...
With regard to the tablets from your pharmacist, I am on Teva and have been since I started in November 2016. They always come in the Teva branded box. However I have experienced previously where tablets have come in a box with no leaflet and this is usually because they are mixing brands where I would imagine that they do not have enough of one particular brand of drug.
It might be worth speaking with your pharmacy explaining that you are on this for 10 years and need the consistency of a brand, as I understand that although the components of the drug are the same it is the coating that can make the difference. I know with mine the Teva, which comes in boxes of 28 and always has done, it costs £13 per packet whereas the generic brand is £3 a packet. My argument is that I am on this for 10 years and I need to ensure that I am taking a brand that causes me the least side effects, fortunately my pharmacist agrees. I also ensure that when I have put in a prescription request I let them know so that they can make sure that they have them in stock.
I know it does take several weeks to get used to a drug and I had a variety of side effects in the early 2/3 months of taking it, however they did settle down.
I hope this has helped.

Hello everyone, i have been reading your posts with great interest as i am having issues possible related to tamoxifen too. Heres my history:
48 yrs old, diagnosed April 2018, grade 2 IDC. Had MX no recon in May with SNB, 2 nodes affected and 1 micromet. 6 x FecT chemo which finished 24 Sept, ANC clearance Oct (remaining nodes all clear), 15 x radiotherapy (finished 19th Dec 18).
I am now on Tamoxifen for 10 years. I was suffering with heavy legs towards the end of my last chemo but nothing lkke now. I have been on the Tamoxifen for about 6 weeks and as well as nasty night sweats i have a achy legs, worse on outside of thighs and down the backs, knees, feet hurt when i wake up. Hips ache, sometimes just one , sometimes both. My butt cheeks ache like ive done 1000 squats somedays and lower back can ache. If i sit for a period of time i am so stiff to get up. Today elbow jointz ache too and fingers stiff.
My Onc nurse initially said. Its the docetaxol chemo still affecting me and suggested taking magnesium and zinc which i am doing. I also try epsom baths, i get some relief but then some days its so much worse again.
I read your posts about different brands and my first month was .Wockhardt this month the box says "Mylan" but the pills inside on the packets say "Teva UK", is this the same company? I dont trust my pharmacy as there is no leaflet in this second box and they have changed the wording on the box to state 28 pills instead of 30 a d have cut 2 pills of the end of a packet. I am just trying to keep note of which brands feel better, if any, and am confused.
Any advice would be fab, sorry for long post!
For me it's related to the brand, at least I was having a lot more cramps (and general leg pain) when the chemist gave me a different brand to the normal one I was taking.
Now my GP actually includes the brand in the prescription - Mylan is the best one for me.
Anyway, I think these things (side effects) come and go without rhyme nor reason, hehe - I've been on tamoxifen for just under 2 years.
I have been on Tamoxifen for about two years now. My leg cramps have been getting worse, and last night's pain was excrutiating. It started in the front of my right leg, but then quickly became pain in both legs, from halfway below the knee down to my toes. I was afraid to try to walk anywhere because I thought my legs/feet would give out. It eventually went away, but then I was left with full body shakes for about 10 minutes.
My leg pains usually start after I've gone to bed, but sometimes they hit in the early evening when I'm stretched out on the couch.
I am going to have to talk to my doctor at my next appointment. If these leg cramps continue, (as well as hot flashes all day/night) I might have to decide if it's still worth it to continue taking the Tamoxifen.
Has anyone else stopped taking the medicine? Any thoughts about stopping the medicine?
I think I have what some of you are referring to. This is what I am experiencing: I have been awoken twice now, with one leg and then the other. The experience was exactly the same with both. My whole leg ached from where it attaches at thigh to body and all the way down. It is a very non-descript pain and if I had to tell someone where the pain is I'd have to say my whole leg. I know what a cramp is and the normally contraction of one; however this pain is escrutiating, like a regular cramp, but I can't find any particular place or muscle that is cramping. Has anyone else had this. I am thinking it has to be the tamoxifen since I haven't changed up anything else. I began Tamoxifen in January, in February went on an aromatase inhibitor (that almost made me explode, it felt like), so back on T since March. My first whole leg pain was my right and was about mid June. The one, last night, mid July, was my left leg. The pain is so bad I get nauseated with it. Once I get up and stand on it, it starts diminishing, but it is very scary. Again, I can't find the cramp or where it is coming from, I just feel the pain of a cramp througout my whole leg. Does this sound like any of you? TIA
Cramps are deadly I know as I have experienced this several times before. But there's something which literally gave me relief and they are sea salts. Nyassa is the company which sells the amazing quality of bath salts which can be used for getting rid of muscle cramps. To help you out I am attaching a link to buy bath salts online
Hello all.
I too have been suffering severe leg/toe cramps at through the night and early morning. I have been on tamox since May 2017. I never experienced such cramps before taking the tamox. I spoke to my chiropractor today and he gave me calcium supplements to take before bed. I pray it works!! I think we can all agree we have and are dealing with enough and don't need the cramping! I'm sorry to hear so many have dealt with this but I'm glad i'm not alone in this!
I've been on tamoxifen for 6 months now and thought I'd got off quite lightly with regard to side effects but suddenly am now suffering from really horrendous calf and toe cramps during the night - to the point that my legs are still sore the next day! Thank you to everyone contributing to this thread - hopefully some combination of the suggestions will help to ease the problem.
I am coming up on two years on Tamoxifen. (Started Jan 1, 2016). I have had horrible arm cramps. But they seemed to have eased up lately so yeah!
I have some tips for those suffering from muscle cramps. I take 800 mg of magnesium a night which I take for constipation but some say it helps with the muscle cramps. Just be sure to start off with a low dosage and work your way up or else be sure you have access to a bathroom.
2) Eat bananas. Potassium helps muscle cramps.
3) When you feel a leg cramp coming on, instead of doing what comes naturally and curling your toes outward, curl your toes upwards towards your body. 99 times out of 100, this stops them dead in their tracks.
So sorry to hear about your cramping. I empathise.
I've been on Tamoxifen now for 3 years - and in the past 6 months cramping leg muscles have become an increasing problem. I used to be very sporty and am finding this difficult to deal with. Just wanted to say that prescribed Quinine tablets have stopped the cramping at night but my legs feel heavy and sport options are diminishing. It's hard to know whether this would have happened anyway as I'm menopausal.
Try the Quinine perhaps.
Best wishes,
I dont know if this will help as it sounds like your cramps are extreme but I have read on here that ladies have been taking a glass of tonic water at bedtime and that seems to have helped them. I would imagine that you have probably tried this, but I thought it might be worth posting to you about it.
I sincerely hope that you are able to get this sorted

My Dr. said it takes 30 days for the Tamoxifen to leave your system. I was on for 5 months, and its been 22 days off. The severe leg cramps are better, although the ankle, toe cramps are still happening. I sleep with a heating pad close by, and that relieves the cramping.
I thought I would post an update with my bicarbonate of soda regime and leg cramps. It is still working, although I have had the odd night (maybe twice a month) when I've woken up with cramp. I can usually tell when this is going to happen as the cramps start in the early evening. If that happens I just take the bicarbonate as soon as I feel them starting and also take some bicarb to bed with me and then drink it at night if they start. It works very quickly.
I've told my doctor what I'm doing and they at least didin't say I shouldn't continue. I was told that one of the common reasons for women wanting to stop tamoxifen treatment was because of leg cramps - certainly I was getting desperate!
I have altered the time I take my tamoxifen, just in case it shouldn't be taken at the same time as the bicarb.
Anyway the bicarb has revolutionised my sleep and I feel so much better for that!
I hope this is of help. If anyone else tries it and finds that it works for them, please do post a reply.
I was taking a hot water bottle to bed every night or when I am sitting down watching TV and I found this helped. The last couple of weeks it has been hot and not used water bottle and the cramp came back and I was in tears today. Will certainly try bicarbonate soda or tonic water JackyM
Katy, your cramp issues sound exactly like mine and started almost immediately after starting Tamoxifen last year. I'm going to try bicarbonate of soda as you did and hope I can get a full nights sleep soon.
I have been on Tamoxifen for about 4 years now and have been suffering very painful camp of my toes, feet and lower legs, mainly at night but sometimes during the day or evening (I once had to march round and round the table at a board meeting at work to try and stop the pain - somewhat embarassing!). Often cramp wakes me up several times a night.
I followed all the NHS advice about stretching (ran my feet over a tennis ball, did the most weird contortions to stretch out the top of my feet and front of my legs (I seem to get cramp in muscles I didn't know existed!), but this wasn't very effective. However after meeting a retired doctor recently who had suffered from chronic back pain following a major spinal injury, I decided to try the remedy that he has found relieves his back pain - bicarbonate of soda! I've been drinking a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a small glass of water every night before I go to bed. Blooming marvellous! I've had no foot/leg cramps since I started, about 10 days ago. I know it is early days but I just thought I had to share this with those of you who have similar problems. If you google bicarbonate of soda and leg cramps you will see a few posts and articles on this. You should checking with your doctor first to make sure there are no reasons why you should not take it - it tastes quite salty so may not be good if you have high blood pressure. It's allot cheaper than the gorgeous, but expensive Fevertree tonic water which unfortunately did not work for me. .
I started getting leg cramps almost immediately after going on tamoxifen. My onco put my on Calcium supplements - 500 mg twice a day & if I skip I can tell almost immediately. It definitely helps a lot but pills must be taken with a meal in order to be effective.
Stopped taking tamoxifen (with doctor's suggestion) due to servere joint & bone pain, leg cramps, and other numerous side effects. The odds of reoccurance is not that high for DCIS, I am 76 yrs. old and this tamoxifen is even worse than the radiation treatments I had. Leg cramps keep me up at night, very servere and therefore up every hour or so. So tired, it is hard to focus or function during the day. and of course with the other joint & bone, nausea symptoms, life has no quality. Doctor tells me that as lone as you were on tomoxifen, that is how long it takes for all these symptoms to go away. For me, its been a month off now, and still leg pain (cramps) have not let up. I keep dehydrated, eat 1 bannana a day, still no relieve. Will try to find tonic with quinine today. Any more suggestions?????
Hello all of you! Leg cramp is a very popular and painful disease for all of us. It is so irritating time when leg cramp starts. I have a serious leg cramp problem. One of my friends from the USA suggests me for using Limb Bar. It is a specially formulated mineral shop, which gives me relax after using it within 48 hours. Try it, hope it will help to relieve your pain.
I don't really have bad leg cramps....every once and awhile I get them but not that often. I have been on Tamoxifen for almost 2 yrs in August. Work out 5 days a week, and last weekend biked 2 days in a row. Now I seem to be screwed....both my knees have been sore and keep swelling by the end of the day. My husband is even in shock...says with all the working out I do it is strange for them to be swollen. I'm really hoping this is not the start of a long term issue. Also, my big toe joint has been sore for a few months. I do a lot of lunges and yoga moves hoping that is the issue. Had blood work for gout done and that was fine. The way I eat no way I could have that. Thinking it is the Tamoxifen. Wondering if I should start drinking Tonic water?? Reading posts from years past.....
I find that the tonic works. I suffer dreadful cramps at night. Fever Tree do a natural tonic which is great and high in quinine. (3.50 for 4 small bottles in Tesco but worth it).. The sleep really is a problem isn't it.
Take Care Gilly x

International Development Week
With 1.2 billion 15-24 year olds in the world – 90 percent of whom live in developing countries – we should view youth as respected, vital assets in Canada's development projects at home and abroad
International Development Week calls attention to the involvement of Canadian volunteers in sustainable development projects all across the planet. It is critical that we Canadians continue to demonstrate our legendary solidarity as we work shoulder-to-shoulder with citizens of developing countries to reduce poverty, improve quality of life and, in the process, make all our countries more secure.
Youth volunteers – with their contemporary competencies, creativity and flexibility, strong social values and sense of engagement, and singular energy – are smack in the middle of the development scene. Which makes good sense since today's generation of youth is the largest in history: 1.2 billion 15-24 year olds in the world with 1 billion living in developing countries.
Over and above providing these young people with a life-changing human and practical learning experience, Canadian non-profit organizations are resolutely focused on achieving measurable development results.
One inspiring program – "Youth Leaders in Action" – teams up 18 youth from Canada and a partner country to live and work together for six months in both countries where they contribute to well-planned, community-driven development projects. In one such project, some 160 youths have worked, over the past four years, towards improving the health of young people in South Africa, by working with a local partner organization to create safer homes free of domestic violence and drug abuse and, through youth-managed awareness activities, to lower the rate of HIV/AIDS in these communities.
Another program – "Youth Leaders Initiatives" – provides seed money and mentorship to youth in partner countries to enable them to develop and manage projects that empower local youth, provide opportunities for skill development and employment while addressing local development issues. In one region of Peru, five local youth aged 15-18 are now producing yogurt and jam using regional products, which is enriching this population's traditional high-carbohydrate diet while supporting the local economy. Some 150 children currently benefit from these low-cost products, and the young entrepreneurs are donating their products to 30 children from underprivileged families, as a social engagement gesture.
Successful, concrete projects such as these make it clear that youth have agency, i.e. unique talents, valuable skills, and a capacity to act and to change lives, including their own. As adults, our role is to develop their capacity to participate and lead. Within the development community, there is increased interest in the participation of youth and a greater recognition that youth are the future of their countries' development. By 2015, 3 billion people – nearly half the developing world population – will be under 25. This "youth bulge" is a limited window in which to develop a young workforce capable of driving economic development and playing a significant role in the social development of their communities.
Despite this self-evidence, we agree with a well-documented publication of the Students Partnership Worldwide / DFID-CSO Youth Working Group that claims that the demographic importance of this "youth bulge" is insufficiently acknowledged and the needs of youth are being insufficiently addressed. To better address these needs, the development community should adopt an approach to development that is driven by young people, an approach that implicitly values them as partners and assets, i.e. as leaders, advisors, colleagues and stakeholders. Investing in youth leadership, whether at home or abroad, brings tremendous social and economic benefits. Societal change, including behavioral change, is often driven by young people. It is crucial that we engage the young decision makers of tomorrow in the development decisions of today if we want development policies to be truly representative and effective. As Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary-General, recognized: "Providing for youth is not just a moral obligation, it is a compelling economic necessity."
Through these important projects, Canadian youth volunteers are developing skills, a sense of personal identity and an international worldview that builds solid citizenship. All volunteers claim that their lives are changed forever by the understanding gained through meaningful development work with fellow Canadians and colleagues from other countries. For all these reasons and more, Canadians and Canadian decision-makers should support our non-profit organizations, especially those with results-oriented programs with and for youth.

A Rustic Garden Wedding at the Vintage Estate in Yountville, California
onelove photography
With charming country touches and a palette of soft ivory, sage and peach, Jessica Fung (27 and works in technology sales) and Brent Schoeb's (34 and works in sports business) wedding was the epitome of garden chic. The pair planned an intimate celebration at the Vintage Estate in Yountville, California, the heart of wine country, where perfectly manicured gardens and a vine-covered estate provided a striking backdrop for the al fresco affair. "We chose this venue for its versatility, natural beauty and French country flair," Jessica says.
The couple and their guests gathered in the Vintage Estate's picturesque garden for the ceremony, where Jessica and Brent exchanged vows under an elegant veranda framed by a stately stone wall. A quaint brick path served as the ceremony aisle, with rose-trimmed rows of white chairs flanking both sides. Guests kept cool in the late-summer sun with playful parasols provided by the bride and groom. After the "I dos," the newlyweds whisked guests off to the terrace for Moscow Mules and a spread of decadent appetizers. Cocktail tables were trimmed with airy white linens that billowed in the gentle breeze and terra-cotta pots filled with moss and olive leaves. The Provencal aesthetic continued into the reception, with farmhouse tables and French country chairs dotting the Vintage Estate's secluded courtyard. Lush bunches of dahlias, hydrangeas and roses in mercury-glass vases lent the decor a romantic English garden feel, while strands of bistro lights and ivory candles in hobnail holders infused the outdoor space with with a warm, inviting ambiance. After their first dance to Green River Ordinance's "Dancing Shoes," Jessica and Brent invited guests onto the dance floor, where they brought down the house well past dusk. "Planning our wedding was such a fun experience, and we thank everyone who helped make our day one to remember," Jessica says. —Libby MacCarthy

Seville, in its most distinguished essence; this is the Eurostars Regina Hotel. Set in a building full of Andalusian charm and the typical atmosphere of the old, palatial residences of Seville. The Eurostars Regina combines the most modern architectural details with the most typical of Seville scenarios: the courtyard. We have two courtyards, one indoors, which captivates our guests and another, out in the open, with a refreshing fountain and decorated with typical Andalusian flower pots.
The Eurostars Regina is the perfect refuge for business travel or leisure trips. We have a wide range of rooms (single, double, twin, triple or quadruple), a bar service, free Internet, covered parking and a 95 square metre reception room for meetings or banquets.
Set in the heart of the typical San Lorenzo district, in the old part of the city, the Eurostars Regina is located in an ideally strategic place for squeezing out the last drop of Seville's places of interest.
The hotel is situated at a less than five-minute walk from the Gran Poder Basilica, the Fine Arts Museum, Gavidia Square, the Convent of St. Clement, Becquer's house or the Alameda de Hércules. In addition, we are a 10 minutes walk from the best shopping streets and Sierpes Street and a 15 minutes walk from many of the great, symbolic edifices of Seville: the Giralda, the Cathedral, Reales Alcázares, the Maestranza, Torre de Oro or the Archive of the Indies.
Located on the other side of the river Guadalquivir, the Cartuja Business Park and the Isla Mágica amusement park are also a short distance from the hotel.

(Beloit) By Jim Leute, Gazette
A long-term lease with a Stoughton manufacturer who wants to expand is the catalyst for a $40 million renovation of the Ironworks campus in Beloit. Universal Acoustic & Emission Technologies, a global designer and manufacturer of acoustic and emissions products for the power generation, oil and gas, industrial and original equipment markets, announced Tuesday that it has signed a 12-year lease for 106,000 square feet of the Ironworks campus in Beloit. Universal already leases about 30,000 square feet at the Ironworks. With the new lease, it has an option for an additional 67,000 square feet for expansion.
Mark Membrino is vice president of Hendricks Commercial Properties, which owns the 750,000-square-foot Ironworks campus. He said the complex is undergoing an extensive renovation to make Ironworks a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. "It's a whole new way of thinking for us, and we're really committed to making it state-of-the-art," he said, noting that the complex will get new windows, flooring, lighting, electrical and other amenities designed to complement advanced manufacturers and the notion that manufacturing is no longer dark, dirty and dangerous. "We wouldn't be able to do this without the long-term commitment from Universal."
The Ironworks campus sits on the banks of the Rock River in the heart of Beloit's downtown, which is referred to locally as "City Center." For nearly 150 years, the site was home to Beloit Corp., which made papermaking machines. Beloit Corp. ultimately struggled and closed its doors in 1999, putting nearly 2,000 people out of work. Ken and Diane Hendricks bought the property in 2001 and the next year started a renovation of the complex they named Ironworks.
Former office buildings, the foundry and various manufacturing and storage areas were transformed into loft offices and manufacturing space while retaining the building's original character. The Hendrickses, through their development company, then commissioned a local artist to create the "Forged on the Rock" murals that honor the history and the people of Beloit Corp.
The Ironworks development is now home to 15 businesses that occupy more than 400,000 square feet. The remaining space is being leased for office and manufacturing use as the renovated space becomes available."The project really has reached critical mass," Membrino said. Hendricks Commercial Properties, which manages and owns more than 15 million square feet of real estate properties in 39 states, will divide the campus into three sections.
The north section will be for heavy manufacturing, the southern end will be dedicated to light commercial businesses, and the western portion will continue to be used for office space, Membrino said. American Aluminum Extrusion uses about 100,000 square feet of the manufacturing space in the northern section. By the time Universal fills its space, little room will be available for manufacturing, he said.
"I'm getting calls all the time from people who need manufacturing space, and there just isn't any," Membrino said, echoing comments economic development officials and developers recently made about the Beloit and Janesville markets. "Things are definitely happening again, and the response in the marketplace has been incredible. I can't remember when I've ever been busier."

Eiso Jan Gerhard Toonder was the eldest son of Marten Toonder and Phiny Dick. During his school holidays he had apprenticeships with his father's Toonder Studios. He was a copywriter for advertising agencies until 1962, when he moved to Ireland. There, he set up Toonder Film Ltd., and specialized in the development of TV spots.
After a couple of years, he took up scriptwriting for several comics from his father's studios, such as the daily 'Kappie', 'Panda' and 'Koning Hollewijn' strips, and some 'Tom Poes en heer Bommel' stories for Donald Duck. He and his father also developed a new comic, called 'De Goeroe' in the 1970s. It ran for about ten years in De Telegraaf and for three more years in The Irish Times. The strip appeared under the pen name of Peter Abel, and there were rumours that there was also an Irish artist involved, called Peter Hoye. Later, it appeared that Hoye never existed, and that 'De Goeroe' was compiled by Eiso himself from drawings made by Marten Toonder and Piet Wijn.
Eiso Toonder claimed to have contributed lay-outs and pencils to the 'Tom Poes' daily strips 'Tom Poes en de pijpleider', 'Heer Bommel en de minionen' (partially), 'Heer Bommel en het ontsollen' and 'Heer Bommel en de spalt', filling in for Piet Wijn. Eiso Toonder has always been involved in his parents' work, organizing archives, overseeing and writing prefaces to reprint collections and giving lectures. He received the Bulletje & Boonestaak Plate for his contributions to Dutch comics in 2011. The Toonder Company announced his death, after an illness of several months, on 29 April 2014.

I'm not looking at the names in the forum while looking at the pictures. ok i see your picture and i think hm. that's spooge's style, he would do something like that i check out - yep that you and that's it. You're concentrating on the technique you've learned kinda proving to yourself and maybe to other also that you can draw whatever you want using that technique and nothing more. look at that gray picture there's something on the wall... in the upper corner of the picture.. some painting or something else? it keeps bugging because that guy is looking there and you putted a lot of spots in that area darker and lighter and all without a reason, i mean would sargent do that? you put so much effort in drawing something behind guy's hand (on the first pic) and still it's pointless it's wrong compositionally and you don't even get what it is... though your simulation of details demands looking at that place... last pic ok you drew a guy... i remember how your older skeches looked like... they were truly impressive. you were more into telling people the feeling of the picture the mood. and now you putting some random blurry lines, strokes which ruin even the impression of real... hm look at the smoking guy's shoulder... who needs those lighter lines there? just look at the pictures you used to draw... arthur defeated maybe i can explain it better next time... when i'll think more about it... i think i'm right about what i said but you know thechnically you're the best anyhow Back to top dr . bangmemberMember #Joined: 07 Apr 2000Posts: 1245Location: Den Haag, Holland Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2001 1:03 pm here's my piece, done in 1 hour, the least time i ever spend on a completed piece.

I think that what you said seems to "assume" a lot about him that you probably don't know. Who's to say he's forgetting what art is all about? What IS art all about? Do you know? Apparantly you have some sort of concrete definition in your little artist's dictionary that I've never heard before. Personally I've always felt that art is constantly changing/evolving... it's what a person makes of it. You're familiar with the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" right? Maybe you just don't like where Spooge's style has evolved to (even though this is a thread about QUICK paintings). But for every person like you that thinks his work is no longer "fresh", I'm sure there are 5 more that absolutely love it. What you said sort of strikes me as rather insulting... no matter who you said it to. <- 2 cents =) Back to top saripolmemberMember #Joined: 17 Nov 2000Posts: 191Location: Selangor, Malaysia Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2001 8:28 pm i've posted this a while back and someone already pointed out about the perspective... but i just feels like joining in can't remember exactly how long it took to paint it.. may be around 30-60 min..

I've been asked few times to read lectures in universities only because my point of view is completed and well explained though totally different and rather bold that main... all-accepted points of view. About affects of moral and ethical problems on evolution of art and technology. about principle of chaos in evolution. and more topics like that. fact that i'm not so fluent in english doesn't mean that i don't know what i'm talking about. And i'm still interested in spooge's opinion about his pictures. In simple words: instead of powerness of the image we get action pose or "dramatic" atmosphere in the image. and come-on i'm not offending... just saying my point of view... and i'm not saying that his style got worse he's just concentrating on different aspects of the painting progress. i hope that i'm making myself more or less clear Back to top MythandLorejunior memberMember #Joined: 28 Oct 2001Posts: 14Location: Southern California Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2001 12:43 am quote:Originally posted by Jezebel: "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Sweet words that always ring true.

Spooge is definately the best digipainter but the latest paintings have felt like just plain paintings (as if spooges paintings could be "just paintings"). Those haven't raised any particular feeling in me as the older ones have done. Maybe he has pushed a bit too much experimental and forgotten something. Speculations, speculations. Maybe it's just us we have gone bad. We wan't more. We've used to get better WOWs when spooge has pushed things a bit farther. Now when you see "newest spooge" and haven't dropped your eyes reason must be overexposure we have had. Spooge has been overproductive. Guess?? I have to shut up now, spooge what you think?

I must say, that I entirely disagree with your comment regarding Craig's work. I think that Craig is always thinking deeper about what he is painting than the surface "technical" stuff. I think he has progressed far beyond that as an artist. In fact, I think he tries conciously to stay AWAY from being overly technical. I see lots of mood/feeling/emotion/atmosphere in almost everything I've seen him paint. His choice of colour, value, subject, setting, balance, etc. all play into that. I think that fact that Craig leaves a lot of his stuff "unpolished" goes to show that he really doesn't give two steamin' turds how it appears TECHNICALLY and he wants to show us that art is supposed to run much deeper than that. I for one can clearly see that. To clarify, I'm not saying this to kiss up to Craig, I'm saying this because I strongly believe what I am arguing is drastically closer to the truth that what you are arguing. Anyway, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Mine just happens to be contradictory to yours. Cheers! -Chris.

Flipped Classrooms' may not have any impact on learning
'#FlippedClassrooms' may not have any impact on learning – See more at: http://www.eduwire.com/technology/flipped-classrooms-may-not-have-any-impact-on-learning/#sthash.ydZEqVVD.dpuf
Students reported in anonymous surveys that they either loved or hated the new model, and some said they felt the flipped classroom had a heavier workload since it required students to set aside time to watch the lengthy lecture videos.
Professors, too, had to spend considerably more time making and editing the videos and crafting engaging, hands-on sessions for their classes, she says.
Given these drawbacks, the fact that the actual learning outcomes seemed unaffected by the switch suggested that it might not be worth the hassle, Lape says.

We knew it would be wild, but not this wild. So after all the hyperventilating buildup, mega-business guy Donald Trump is actually playing "Dr. Evil" in his much-trumpeted October surprise announcement made today.
He's offering "$5 millllll-ion dollars" to charity for Barack Obama's college enrollment and passport applications. We kid you not.
This one is such a laugh that we'll say it if Trump won't.
"You're fired!"
Take a look:
Looks Trump has been channelling these classic scenes from "Austin Powers" — and we can't blame him. Time to ramp it up to "one billion, gazillion dollars," Donald:

Alex Ovechkin scored his NHL-leading 28th goal, and the Washington Capitals enjoyed a rare feeling of dominance outside their division Tuesday night, winning their eighth straight with a 5-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Jack Hillen, Martin Erat, Troy Brouwer and Marcus Johansson also scored, and Braden Holtby made 29 saves for the Southeast Division-leading Capitals.
The Capitals have moved into playoff position by feasting on the weak Southeast, going 14-3 within the division, but they entered Tuesday's game just 9-14-2 against the rest of the Eastern Conference. All but two of those nine wins were by one goal.
So it was a major morale boost that they were able to manhandle Toronto, which is closing in on the franchise's first playoff berth since 2004.
The Maple Leafs had won four of five, but they looked sluggish one night after they beat the New Jersey Devils 2-0 at home on Monday. Toronto was down 4-0 to the Capitals before Mikhail Grabovski scored in the third period.
Ovechkin, with his 19th goal in 18 games, moved two ahead of Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos in the NHL's goal-scoring race.
The Capitals drew their usual close-to-full house, with fans seemingly undeterred by the deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday. Security was increased at the Verizon Center, although mostly behind-the-scenes and so subtly that many noticed little or no difference as they endured the usual bags searches and screenings by hand-held metal detectors.
Arena workers said there were extra security patrols, specifically checking trash cans and security cameras before the building was open to the public. The huge scoreboard went dark shortly before the opening faceoff for a moment of silence.
Ovechkin's goal was a one-timer from the top of the left circle during a second-period power play. He earned an assist from nearly the same spot earlier in the period when his shot was deflected by Erat in front of the crease.
It was Erat's first goal since he was acquired in a trade-deadline deal with the Nashville Predators.
Hillen scored in the first period with a shot from the point deflected by Toronto's Nazem Kadri, giving goalie Ben Scrivens no chance to react as the puck whizzed past just inside the post.
An odd-man rush led to Brouwer's goal in the second period, with the forward streaking down the right side to receive a pass from John Carlson to make it 3-0.
Johansson scored on a power play in the third period.
NOTES: Toronto's Jay McClement rammed Washington's Nicklas Backstrom head-first into the boards in the first period, prompting retaliation from Ovechkin and a massive scrum. Ovechkin was the only player penalized - for boarding - but Capitals F Jason Chimera picked a fight with McClement later in the period. ... Maple Leafs LW Joffrey Lupul returned after missing five games with a concussion.

Earth from Space: Wadden Sea
This Envisat image captures the dynamic landscape of the Wadden Sea, a tidal wetlands area in the southeastern part of the North Sea that extends some 450 km along the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.
The Wadden Sea is a shallow coastal region shaped by the constant flow of low and hide tides that alternate approximately every six hours. The area is characterised by mud flats, salt marshes and low-lying islands.
Due to its varied landscape, the area provides habitat for more than 10 000 plant and animal species and an estimated 1,5 million migrating birds.
Joining other natural wonders around the world, the Wadden Sea was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in June this year.
The chain of islands seen stretching from the Netherlands to Denmark is the Frisian Islands, which shield the mud flat areas of the Wadden Sea from the North Sea.
Inland from the Dutch Wadden Sea (left of centre), the IJsselmeer and Markermeer freshwater lakes are visible. At the southern tip of Markermeer is Amsterdam, with The Hague and Rotterdam further down along the coast.
ESA's European Space Technology Research Centre (ESTEC) is located just north of The Hague in the coastal town of Noordwijk, where Envisat was designed, integrated and tested before its launch in 2002.
The Port of Rotterdam, located in the city of Rotterdam, is Europe's largest port and the gateway to some 450 million consumers. It accommodates roughly 30 000 ocean-going ships and 130 000 river ships each year. The islands visible beneath the port area belong to the Zeeland province of the Netherlands.
South of the Netherlands is Belgium, with the city of Bruges visible in white inland from the coast. A small portion of France is visible beneath Belgium, while Germany is seen along the right side of the image.
This image was acquired by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instrument on 19 August 2009, working in Full Resolution mode to provide a spatial resolution of 300 m.

This week, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation announced the nominees for the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. The awards cover film, television, music, theater, comic books and journalism in various media.
Among the major TV networks, ABC once again leads the pack, with nine nominations. The recognized ABC series include Brothers & Sisters, Dirty Sexy Money, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Boston Legal and All My Children. Let's see: That's a handful of gay male characters, zero lesbian characters (maybe 0.5 if you count Bianca on AMC) and one Zarf. At least the pseudo-lesbian episode of Kyle XY (ABC Family) got a nod.
Other TV nominees include The Sarah Silverman Program, Work Out, The L Word and Exes & Ohs. Is this a list of nominations, or the list of recordings on my DVR?
Nominees in the film categories include The Jane Austen Book Club, Stardust, Across the Universe, Itty Bitty Titty Committee and Nina's Heavenly Delights. I have an itty bitty opinion about who should win in the Limited Release category.
Music nominees include The Cliks for Snakehouse and Melissa Etheridge for The Awakening.
But never mind all that: Our brother site, AfterElton.com, was nominated for Outstanding Digital Journalism Article for "Gay Newsmen — A Clearer Picture." Congrats, bros! But don't get comfy; we're totally gonna beat you next year. I think the most recent episode of The L Word proved that lesbians know how to play ball. And by that I mean refuse to play ball and get thrown into a lake instead.
We'll have full coverage of the Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York GLAAD Media Awards presentations in March and April. Remember last year, when Laurel Holloman said all sorts of fascinating things about Bette and Tina? Here's hoping there are more revelations this year — not to mention more than two out lesbians/bi women at the events. Jodie, are you free that night? If you want to bring a plus-one, I'm sure they'll let you.

ADDED: Here's a Gerda Lerner book that I read: "The Creation of Patriarchy."
Using admittedly sparse prehistorical evidence, Lerner offers a plausible multicausal theory to explain the development of the patriarchical system. She seeks to show that the subordination of women is a historical (i.e., changeable) phenomenon, not a natural one. Lerner posits that division of labor by sex occurred early but that the oppression of women began with the emergence of agriculture; the domination of women, she argues, preceded and served as the foundation for the origin of private property and the state and the institutionalization of slavery.

Could someone please give me some insight into each one of the four topics listed below.
I have a good idea about what passive and active rendering are, and that the use of active rendering is more suitable for games programming.
I'm just not to sure about the rest.
The timing of the main game loop is an important component of any computer game, since it impacts on the frame rate and the real-time physics calculations needed to make the game run at a realistic (or at least playable) rate. You are required to read up on the programming issues that affect this timing, and write a report that covers the range of options available to a programmer. Your report should consider the following headings:
The distinction between active and passive rendering, and an explanation of the preferred mode for a game program.
The division of time between the physics (or game-model) update and graphics update stages, and an explanation and analysis of the relative importance of these in a game that involves real-time physics calculations.
Techniques for achieving accuracy in real-time physics, and an explanation of the trade-offs that may be necessary to do this.
Programming techniques that can be used to try to keep the frame-rate for graphics updates to some desired rate.

When President Barack Obama announced the launch of ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy) in 2009 with bipartisan support, a high-risk research grant program run out of the Department of Energy was born. The program is modeled after the lauded DARPA, the Department of Defense agency that claims responsibility for the invention of the Internet.
The idea behind the program is to fund research that might not otherwise receive funding because of the high risk of failure. But with high risk also comes high reward, and it's this kind of research that could usher in the world's next great technological breakthrough.
It's worth keeping tabs on some of the super-cool clean tech projects being backed by ARPA-E. Here are some of our favorites.

Wind turbines made of fabric
Generally, the bigger the wind turbine the better, at least when it comes to energy capture and efficiency. But bigger turbine blades also mean higher costs on the manufacturing end, not to mention a lot of hassle (and more costs) when it comes to delivery and installation of the extremely long blades, which often must be transported over long distances.
To tackle these problems, General Electric has received ARPA-E funding to develop an entirely new kind of turbine blade: one that is essentially made of cloth. By stretching a fabric over a frame rather than building the entire blade from fiberglass, GE hopes to cut down the cost of turbine blades by 25-40 percent. This would effectively make wind energy as economical as fossil fuels.
The lightweight blades could also potentially be made much larger than traditional blades, which means more energy capture. They will also be far easier and cheaper to repair.

Dust devil power
Anyone taking a roundtrip through the dusty U.S. Southwest has probably witnessed a dust devil: a spinning vortex of sand and wind that resembles a mini-tornado. They are created when there is a temperature differential between the hot sand on the ground and the cooler air above.
The Tasmanian devil-like swirling motion of these dust tornadoes could make for a powerful way to spin a turbine, if they can be controlled. That's the idea behind this ARPA-E backed invention by researchers at Georgia Tech. They have created a device that generates its own dust devil thanks to some strategically angled vanes. The vanes take the hot air rising off a dark surface (that absorbs heat) and twists it into a vortex, which is contained within a cylinder. A turbine at the top spins from the action, generating electricity.
A video showcasing a mini-version of this technology can be seen spinning here.

Soundwave refrigerator
Not only do refrigerators require heaps of electricity to run, but they also work by utilizing chemical refrigerants (HFCs) that are powerful greenhouse gases. A greener method for keeping our food and beverages cool is therefore a priority looking into the future; plus it could make a ban on harmful chemical refrigerants more politically expedient.
Luckily, researchers at Penn State are on it. They have developed a freezer system that replaces those chemical refrigerants with soundwaves. That's right: soundwaves. (You've heard of soothing soundwaves, but have you heard of cooling ones?)
It's all based on a field called thermoacoustics. Basically, a soundwave is a rapid succession of compressions and expansions of the gas that carries it. Since a gas heats up when it's compressed and cools down when it expands, the temperature of a gas medium can be controlled by manipulating it with soundwaves.
This new freezer uses helium as the gas medium-- the harmless element that typically fills up your birthday party balloons. And the technology has already passed the ultimate test: it was trusted to keep the ice cream cool at Ben & Jerry's scoop shop in New York City.

Toothpaste batteries
When brushing your teeth in the morning, have you ever wondered how your toothpaste always manages ooze out of the tube in striped layers?
Well, soon you may have to ask the same question about batteries. Researchers at PARC, a lab in Palo Alto owned by Xerox, have developed batteries that can be produced much in the same way as we squeeze the toothpaste tube. Researchers are developing printers that can print out a cathode, anode, and separating layer — the fundamental parts of any battery — all at once.
The technology is particularly valuable because of its ability to improve the energy density of batteries, which will make them last longer.

Reflective camelina
Biofuels have become a controversial alternative to gasoline partially because plants for biofuel compete with food crops for agricultural space. There is a need to find non-food crops that can be converted into biofuel at high efficiency.
Camelina, a rugged oilseed crop, makes a good candidate. The trick is to make the plant super-efficient at performing photosynthesis — and that's where scientists at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center come in. They are working to engineer a camelina plant with specialized reflective leaves that can beam sunlight to lower parts of the plant. This will allow more uniform distribution of light around the plant, which should boost photosynthesis. That means more oil production, and thus a higher biofuel yield.

An old favorite in our house – Peanut Butter Cookies. I knew that this had to be one of the cookies that I included in my series. These cookies are super easy to mix up and toss in the oven. They can even be mixed the night before and then baked first thing in the morning.
Gluten-free Peanut Butter Cookies
*Original recipe from Betty Crocker Cook Book – modified to be gluten-free by me
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used Skippy Natural)
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened (1/2 a stick)
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups GF flour mix (I used Carol's sorghum mix)
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. xanthan gum
1/4 tsp. salt
Granulated sugar (for topping)
1. Mix sugars, peanut butter, shortening, butter & egg together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Chill for at least 2 hours.
2. Heat oven to 375.
3. Shape dough into small balls and roll in granulated sugar. Flatten cookies with a fork (you may want to spray with Pam) in a criss-cross pattern.
4. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until light brown – do not over-bake. They took just 9 minutes in my oven. Cool 5 minutes & remove to wire rack for the remainder of the cooling time.
- This recipe is another that works best using a GF flour mix without added baking soda or baking powder. That way you can control the amounts. I usually reserve Pamela's Baking Mix for muffins, cakes, scones and not cookies. The one cookie I made with Pamela's last week came out cake-like.
- Use parchment paper on your cookie sheets to help your cookies from sticking & to keep them from spreading too much.
- I thought about subbing the shortening out to make these a little healthier. The cook book suggests using 1/4 pkg. (8 oz pkg) light cream cheese in place of the shortening. I didn't have any, but would love to try that next time.
My helper:
Using his "tool":
Ready to go into the oven:
The finished product:
Once again, a hit. The kids scarfed down the cookies that I would allow them to have & begged for more. I asked what the best cookies were so far – Jon said the Almond Cranberry Bites from yesterday; Hannah said the Peanut Butter Cookies & the Spritz Cookies are her favorite.

April showers don't just bring May flowers. They also make way for May showers, June graduation parties, and July weddings. As you plan your party, consider one of the hottest ideas in entertaining: "Build-your-own" food bars.
April showers don't just bring May flowers. They also make way for May showers, June graduation parties, and July weddings.
As you plan your party, consider one of the hottest ideas in entertaining: "Build-your-own" food bars.
The concept isn't new. Think along the lines of a build-your-own sundae dessert bar where a hostess gives you a bowl of ice cream, then you choose toppings from a lineup of goodies. Over the years, restaurants and caterers have used the theme with a variety of foods.
So what's new with the idea? Lots.
Lisa Perduk of Lexington Township, Ohio, attended a wedding reception last year that featured a make-your-own mashed potato bar.
"They really didn't have a meal, it was all heavy appetizers," Perduk said. "They had a mashed potato bar with whipped sweet potatoes as well as whipped mashed potatoes. Martini glasses were set out and guests filled their glasses with potatoes, all self-serve. There was an assortment of toppings such as whipped butter, bacon, green onions, cheddar cheese, anything you could put on a baked potato. For the sweet potatoes, they had things like brown sugar and marshmallow topping."
The concept was a big hit, Perduk said.
"It was a fun and refreshing change of pace for wedding noshing, so nouveau," she said.
Another popular idea is the "candy bar." It can be used for showers, receptions or graduation parties.
The idea is to find a variety of candies in the colors of the event, set them out buffet-style in pretty bowls, and let guests fill decorative containers to take home their treats.
Kathleen Clunk of Alliance, Ohio, used the idea last year when she hosted a wedding shower for her future daughter-in-law.
"Her main color was black with raspberry and lime-green accents," Clunk said. "I bought more than a dozen different candies in all those colors, both wrapped and unwrapped. Everything from M&Ms to Jolly Ranchers, mints, little black licorice pieces, all sorts of things."
She placed them in separate crystal bowls with silver spoons, arranged on a linen-covered table decorated with netting and lights. Shower guests helped themselves to the candies and placed them in a special container.
"I used those decorative Chinese takeout boxes, which I found in hot pink and green polka dots," Clunk said.
The containers usually are cardboard or a filmy plastic, and come in a variety of sizes and colors. Look at party goods stores or online. Guests nibbled on the candies at the shower and took the rest home.
"I liked it because it was a favor that was something usable, and who doesn't like candy?" she said. "Guests really seemed to like it, too. It was something out of the ordinary."
If hosting a brunch gathering, build-your-own parfaits are easy to pull off. You could use fancy parfait glasses, or even tall clear plastic cups. Include a variety of fresh fruits, yogurts and granolas. Belgian waffles are another simple way to glamorize a brunch menu. Fruit, jams, syrups, chocolate chips, nuts and whipped cream are all tasty toppers.
For lunch or dinner gatherings, consider build-your-own bars featuring pierogies or pasta. Mrs. T's mini pierogies make for a nice-sized bite, and possible toppers could be caramelized onions, bacon, sour cream and chives.
At a pasta bar, pick a type that holds up well, such as penne or fettuccine. Traditional red sauce and Alfredo sauce are good crowd-pleasers, along with toppings such as freshly grated Parmesan, grilled chicken or shrimp, artichokes, roasted red pepper, olives and tomatoes.
The latest in build-your-own desserts is trifles, as featured in the latest issue of Taste of Home magazine.
A dessert traditionally made in a large glass compote, a trifle is a confection of English origin prepared by layering cake with fruit and custard sauce, garnished with whipped cream.
With individual trifles, guests choose their own cake, fruit, fillings and toppings to make a layered concoction in their own glass. Taste of Home recommends mixing and matching glassware to add to the fun. Here are some of their ideas for a make-your-own trifle bar:
- Cake: Angel food, pound cake, sponge cake, cut up doughnuts or doughnut holes.
- Fruits: Any fresh fruits, melons or berries, mandarin oranges, dried fruits.
- Fillings: Pudding, gelatin, lemon curd, pie filling, whipped cream cheeses.
- Toppings: Whipped cream, either plain or flavored, caramel sauce, syrups, mini marshmallows, toasted coconut, chocolate shavings, toasted nuts.

Tomorrow night over at Subliminal Projects is a great show with new work, a variety of printing techniques, and a book signing for Beyond the Streets.
Let me start by saying that I'm not necessarily a fan of Shepard Fairey, but that's another story. I do, however, enjoy the work he produces. Printed Matters is a show reinstating the incredible importance of printed media in a digital world. Many say printing is a lost art form; I say we're too heavily reliant on technology. The argument continues. In this exhibit, we see old and new works by Fairey, which include printing on wood and metal, various paper media, collages, and more. This is Fairey's first time showing at the new Echo Park location since they moved back in 2008. Continue reading
Just in case you are in San Francisco or New York tonight I thought I'd fill you in on some musical happenings.
Tonight at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco the legendary Sabbath riff-masters, Sleep, are performing their second SF show in a row as part of their reunion tour. I don't know if it's sold out or not but it's all ages and doors are at 7pm.
A little while back, Omeed and I caught Boris at The El Rey Theatre here in Los Angeles. I had never before had the opportunity to see them live. We were so excited, the entire drive there we were just talking about how the show might be: if they brought their own gear to the states, did they borrow a bus from sunn O))), etc. The opening act, Red Sparrowes, was another band I had not seen live. Frankly, I had never heard of them; however, I think their set was great. Their sound was pretty spot on, the visuals were amazing, and the groove was a great precursor to Boris. Continue reading
Fuck Yeah Fest was yesterday, and of course I'm still feelin' it. As with any show/fest/what have you, there were ups and downs. Unfortunately the up was arriving at the show, and the down was everything to follow. I arrived around 1:30 to find $20 parking and a will call line six blocks long. It was a little over 90 degrees and only getting hotter. By the time I got inside, all stages were up and running. The comedy tent was full and the venue had pretty much run out of water. With thousands of visitors, most of whom were too young to wait the forty minutes to get into the beer garden and buy a cup of overpriced PBR, there were bound to be problems. The venue, L.A. Historic National park, was little more than large dirt pit and a few small half-dead patches of grass. Up until the minute the sun went down, the thing to do was find shade, of which there wasn't much while trying to relax and avoid being hassled by the overwhelming amount of security, park rangers, and local cops (not to mention ghetto birds).

ST. LOUIS — On a steamy Sunday full of utter madness and ear-splitting roars that shook Bellerive Country Club to its core, Brooks Koepka never blinked.
With a stampede of A-list talent hunting him, including major champions Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas, and Adam Scott, Koepka added to his major cache with a final-round 4-under-par 66 to win the 100th PGA Championship.
Despite noise all about him, most of it triggered by Woods' magical recovery powers on the front nine and then his vintage form on the back that produced a final-round 64, Koepka never lost the lead he began the day with. He finished at 16 under to win by two shots over Woods.
The massive Floridian wrapped his huge arms around the Wanamaker Trophy, which will join the two silver trophies he captured in the last two playings of the U.S. Open. He joins Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen as the only players to win the U.S. Open and PGA in the same year.
Koepka closed his front nine with three birdies and then put a dagger in the hearts of his pursuers with short birdies on 15 and 16 to win his third major title in his last six starts. He overpowered the course with his driver, wedge and putter and the cool demeanor that handles immense pressure.
Woods silenced his doubters with his best performance in a major in years. On a crazy front, he didn't hit a fairway in regulation but used his scrambling prowess to make four birdies and make the turn one behind Koepka. He pulled within one again on the 15th, finished with a birdie on the 18th and four in all on the back nine but it wasn't enough.

Sodium Hyaluronate
What: Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt of Hyaluronic acid. Sodium Hyaluronate has a smaller molecular size than Hyaluronic acid, causing it to easily penetrate the skin's surface, and is able to retain a relatively large amount of water — up to 1,000 its own weight. This means it can penetrate to lower layers of the skin, attract and retain water, and promote nutrient absorption.(Truth in Aging)
When used in cosmetics Sodium Hyaluronate offers moisturizing and skin conditioning effects.
Origin: Hyaluronic acid in the past was primarily derived from rooster combs, but given the increasing concern about animal derived ingredients, a method was developed in 1989 to extract hyaluronic acid from vegetable sources such as soybean or corn, using a fermentation process involving bacteria. Bacteria is used in fermenting many products such as wine, beer, cheese, yoghurt and even the leavening of breed. This process creates a very high quality Hyaluronic Acid that is safe, has excellent anti-aging properties and is vegetable sourced. The hyaluronic acid in the TRUE Natural lip plumper is vegetable sourced, in keeping with our commitment to animal free products — all TRUE products can are vegetarian.
Products Found In: Anti-aging skincare, eye cream, makeup, sunscreen, facial moisturizer.
Alternative Names: Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Salt; Sodium Hyaluronate Solution; Sodium Salt Hyaluronic Acid; Healon; Hyalurone Sodium
Toxicity: Sodium Hyaluronate is generally classified as non-toxic or harmful by The Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Database.

Blue Jays bring back Stewart
DUNEDIN, Fla. — The only way Shannon Stewart was going to be rejoining the Blue Jays was on a Minor League contract. And there you have it…
Shannon Stewart is rejoining the Blue Jays on a Minor League contract. He's expected to be in camp within the next few days and he'll be put into the mix for the job in left field, which has been billed up to this point as being a Reed Johnson-Matt Stairs platoon.
Stewart's presence doesn't necessarily spell the end for Johnson, considering Reed hits left-handed pitching better than Stewart. With that in mind, Stewart wouldn't seem to be a lock to bump Johnson from that role. Stewart will definitely provide some competition, though, and it's not like the man didn't hit last season.
Last year with the A's, Stewart hit .290 with 12 homers, 48 RBIs and a .739 OPS in 146 games. Take a look at Johnson's totals in his last healthy season in 2006: he hit .319 with 12 homers, 49 RBIs and an .869 OPS in 134 games for the Jays. It's similar production, with a slight edge to Reed and his Shelby Cobra.
Last season, even when fighting injury, Johnson managed to hit .325 with a .381 on-base against lefties. Stewart hit just .269 with a .333 OBP against left-handers. Stewart has performed better against righties, which is presumably Matt Stairs' part of the platoon going forward. Unless Stairs is possibly sliding back to a bench job.
This signing also makes you wonder about Jays skip John Gibbons and GM J.P. Ricciardi recently saying they've discussed the possibility of slotting shortstop David Eckstein into the lineup's second slot. If Stewart makes the team, he very well could serve as the leadoff hitter — he did so for 101 games last year.
More on this later today…
6 Comments
A left field of Johnson/Stairs/Lind/Stewart??? And a leadoff spot of Johnson/Stewart/Eckstein??? This move doesnt make any sense to me.
I think this move makes perfect sence. There is no risk! You can send Shannon down to the minors if Johnson ans Stairs play to their potential, and if they don't you have Stewart to pick up the slack. It also gives us depth at the leadoff position. I am hoping this will give J.P. the oppertunity to go after a big trade at the deadline this year.
This is awesome. S-stew has always been a great hitter, and it'll be nice to see him in a Jays jersey again. I used to get so mad when He would come to town with the twins and the stupid fans in the rogers centre would boo him. Im sure it was hard to hear the boos when S-stew never even wanted to leave in the first place.
I like the move. The more depth the jays have the better. Of course they can also use Reed as a tradeable commodity. Either way it's a no lose situation for the jays. Maybe the jays are still trying to trade Rios for pitching? I know Shannon's a left fielder but Reed or Stairs can always move to right.
I think this move has been made off of the idea that Johnson, Wells, and Overbay all won't be exactly 100%. And it's possible-I'm not a doctor but they didn't remove the cyst in Wells shoulder, Overbay had two hand injuries, and Reed Johnson is coming off of back surgery. If any of those three have to miss any playing time, Stewart is a little extra depth. (As Stairs would move to 1B in the event of Overbay missing time).
That reminds me, it's too bad Hinske hasn't had much time at 3B in a while–otherwise he might not have been a bad option either, able to fill in for Rolen, Overbay, Reed, and Rios and has been historically okay against righties.
I have a lot of questions around this acquisition.
How much playing time will he get? Will he even be with the team most of the year? And will Lind see any action now? Maybe the Jays are banking on giving Lind a full season in AAA to develop? Someone mention how his stats are comparable to Reed's of '06. Maybe this deal is purely to put pressure on Reed? (coming off his poor '07 output, even though he was injured)? A lot of questions, but I'm glad to see Shannon back for a ridculously small amount, compared to what we would have had to pay to keep him in 2004.
