"Chesebrough / Manuf'g. Co. Cd. / New – York"
This marking is just one of a variety of embossing variations found on the face of earlier Vaseline (petroleum jelly) jars made of glass. Vaseline was patented in 1872 (patent #127,568) by Robert Augustus Chesebrough, doing business as Chesebrough Manufacturing Company, based in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Chesebrough may have been producing his product for a few years before it was actually patented under the name Vaseline.
Some of the earliest jars to contain Vaseline were not marked (with raised lettering embossed in the glass), but merely carried paper labels with the information. Strong evidence of this can be found on page 57, of Bottles on the Western Frontier, by Rex L. Wilson (1981), in which an unmarked bottle, found at an early fort site in Laramie, WY, has remnants of a Chesebrough label. The jar illustrated is of a generic style termed a "pomade" in early glass bottle makers' catalogs.
However, most of the typically found early versions, at least those being made by the late 1880s, are marked "CHESEBROUGH MFG CO [ arched] above "VASELINE." (This style is shown as the first example on the far left in the group of 4 jars). These jars are typically made of clear or off-clear glass, hand blown, and have tooled lips, styled for a cork closure.
(Note: Some examples may have a faint amethyst tint as a result of natural "sun purpling" if the glass contained manganese as a decolorizer. Any of these jars that are found in dark purple or strong "grape" amethyst have been artificially irradiated, as they were never produced in that color. See this page on "Artificially purpled glass").
Later versions of the jar, into the early decades of the 20th century, have screw-type lips, and just one of the lettering arrangements would include "TRADE MARK / VASELINE / CHESEBROUGH / NEW – YORK". Minor variations in the exact wording is seen on different examples. These jars are extremely common and are easily one of the most frequently found utilitarian containers in bottle dumps dating throughout the 1880-1970 period……vast numbers of them were made.
Most early examples are in clear glass, later, amber jars were also made – to contain the "carbolated" version. Few of these containers have glass company identification marks on the base, so it is difficult, or impossible (in most cases) to be sure exactly where a specific example was made. More information can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesebrough_Manufacturing_Company
Later versions of the standard Vaseline salve container have been made of plastic, probably switching over sometime during the 1970s. (If anyone has an exact date when the switch was made to plastic, please contact me!)
In 1987 the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company was purchased by Unilever. The Vaseline line has gradually expanded in recent years with more products being offered such as lotions and moisturizers.

Before starting your home business, it is important to get information from as many sources as possible. Don't just buy everything that's out there. Review this piece to determine what is fact and fiction when it comes to home businesses.
Dress for success. Working from home does not mean you should slack off and not get dressed. Wear work-appropriate clothing just as if you were commuting. This makes you feel more professional so you're as productive as you can be.
Always begin your home business when you are employed. Don't quit your day job too quickly; it takes time for new venture to start turning a profit. You will need to have money when you are waiting for your business profits to come in.
You can find information and advice through online forums and communities specifically offering support for the home business owner. Many websites and forums are available on which home business owners can find invaluable support and advice. You could easily find mentors on these forums that can provide you with their wisdom and understanding.
Be sure to create a detailed business plan to guide your home business. Even with a small business, you need to document all of your goals, strategies, and resources. Following a business plan helps you stay focused as your company grows.
Attaining a high level of success with your home business requires the acumen to recognize unique opportunities and the courage to make the most of them. Envisioning fresh and creative ideas and putting them to the test can result in a larger customer base, and a significant increase in sales and profits. If you never change your routine or strategies, your business may stagnate rather than growing and improving.
Set aside an area in your residence that serves as your work area. Make sure that your work space has room to organize the supplies you need. This aids in organization, something that is key in a successful home business.
Set your work schedule. Avoid working around the clock by setting actual office hours and sticking to them. Pencil in some personal time, and keep your working hours reasonable. This will keep your life with your family and friends in good standing.
Although some of the perks of working at home, like wearing comfortable clothes can seem fun, you might miss speaking with people on a regular basis, like you did in a prior job. To keep from getting too lonely, try to get out of the house at least several times a week.
Check your state and local laws on setting up a DBA (doing business as) for your company. You can often do this at your bank or you can ask the Chamber of Commerce. It is usually cheap and can help with separating personal and business accounts.
When tax time rolls around, be mindful that business trips can be deducted. This is useful, since you can deduct all travel expenses and half of all meals.
A good tip is to maintain records of mileage driven in support of the business. This may be a deductible for you as long as your keep accurate records and are able to back up the reason why it was directly related to your home business.
Look into joining some sort of affiliate program. You will reap the benefits from this as you will expand your customer base and increase your income. Do your homework first to see which kind of program applies best to you.
As you can see, launching a successful home business is possible if you are willing to work hard. There is really no difference between a business at home, and one that is out; knowledge will always be the main key to success!

Hasselblad Rebrands Sony NEX-7 To Create New $5,000 Luxury Camera 0
The Hasselblad Lunar is the newest "ultra luxury" camera from the same company that manufactured the first camera on the moon. The camera's name could be a tribute to that awesome feat. However, the APS-C mirrorless camera is basically a pimped up Sony NEX-7.
Aside from a slight difference in physical appearance, the Lunar has the same 24.3 megapixel APS-C sensor as that of the NEX-7. And that's not all, it also has the similar 3-inch LCD screen, Sony E and A mount compatibility, 10fps continuous shooting, 100-16000 ISO range, 25 AF points, and a built-in EVF.
To differentiate the Lunar from the Sony camera, Hasselblad splurged on the outer hardware. The grip is made of real wood, with the other parts of the body consist of precious metals, leather, carbon fiber, titanium, and gold. It's reportedly going to be available in 47 different styles.
And to top the icing, Hasselblad slapped the Lunar with a price tag of €5,000 (around $6,5000). If you're wondering, the Sony NEX-7 only cost around $1,100.

I had one goal this week for Discovering Me… to set up a branded email. I am proud to say I did it!!! Sure, it took this non-techy girl a few tries but I must commend both WordPress and Google Apps for having excellent information resources on their sites. I am beta-testing Google Apps for Work. So far I like it, but it has only been about an hour, ha!
So if you are eager to test out my new email address, send away: email@example.com.
I actually feel smarter after this exercise and my arm is a little sore (from patting myself on the back)!
Up next… setting up a subscriber widget (I am learning the value of widgets… me like widgets).

Today is the end of my novelette ( ). You can find Parts XVIII, XIX, and XX at Manarchy Magazine. With that bit of business out of the way, the rest of this post is dedicated to Pela Via.
Pela Via is one of the coolest people I've met in this whole publishing thing. We're a pretty small community, us writers and editors and publishers, and I've managed to meet some really great people here and there, but none of them are quite as awesome as Pela. Maybe it's because she's like a big sister/mother figure for me, even though she's only a few years older than me. Something about her just makes me believe that I'm heading the right way, doing the right things. She makes me feel confident, even when maybe I shouldn't. She's endlessly supportive of me and all the things I do, even allowing me to take over Manarchy this last month–which is the last month of Manarchy–with my novelette ( ).
Though ( ) is sort of surreal and chaotic and nowhere, it's one of the more autobiographical things I've written, which probably sounds even stranger if you happened to read any of it, or, dare say, all of it. I was writing most of it on the fly, which maybe shows, but Pela believed in me enough to let me just go for it. Hopefully it turned out well. I actually plan on revising it and releasing it later, and probably it'll look a great deal different, but I'm very happy with what I have here, right now.
Pela's also the mastermind behind Warmed & Bound, which is a truly glorious book and it makes me proud every day to know one of my favorite stories I ever wrote is in there. It's a story that was rejected, like, twenty times and I always thought it was one of the best things I had written, and, finally, Pela was the person to make it real.
More than just her support of my writing, she's been a very kind friend to me while I've been in some of my darkest and most solipsistic hours. I could probably say a lot more about that, but I think it's best for me to keep those moments out of the public eye. But I've had many strange and horrifying nights, haunted nights, and she's always been kind and understanding, willing to tolerate my insane soliloquies and patient enough to wait for me to wear myself out, so she can start gathering the little fragments of me and help me put them back together.
Along with Warmed & Bound, she made Manarchy Magazine possible. More than that, she made it great. If it weren't for Pela asking, I never would've been a part of things there. When Pela puts her name on something, though, I trust it. I can't help but trust it.
She's Pela.
And now I can't wait to get the time to read Booked, the latest anthology she's edited, along with Robb and Livius of Booked. Podcast.
We're not yet sure what comes next for us, this collection of people who seem to orbit around Pela and all that she does. But, whatever it is, I know it'll be great, so long as we have Pela to guide us. Even if just to point out the paths to take, to shine a light where it needs shining.
So thank you, Pela. Thank you for all that you do and have done.
Team Pela. Always.

Defensive driving is a manner of operating a motor vehicle in which safety is emphasized. Individuals who drive defensively follow all traffic rules and road signs, recognize potentially hazardous situations and dangerous drivers, and devise strategies to get out of trouble. People looking for defensive driving tips can ask experienced drivers and conduct Internet searches to find helpful information. Some people, especially new drivers or those who have had accidents or tickets, enroll in training programs to learn expert defensive driving tips.
Often, the best defensive driving tips come from people who have had years of experience on the road. Many subtle aspects of safe, defensive driving are not outlined in motor vehicle laws; rather, they are learned through practice. An experienced driver may be able to relate information on the importance of understanding the behavior of other drivers on the road. Since an erratic driver can put other vehicles in serious danger, experts know that noticing unsafe practices and moving away from hazardous situations is essential.
Experienced drivers can also testify to the importance of increased awareness when driving in inclement weather. The risk of accidents increases dramatically in especially rainy or icy conditions, and a defensive driver can explain techniques that a less experienced person can use to stay safe. Skilled drivers can manage their vehicles properly by slowing down, avoiding skids, and staying as far as possible from other vehicles to prevent collisions.
An individual who wants to learn more defensive driving tips can utilize Internet search engines. Several blogs, newspaper articles, and instructional websites offer detailed information about driving defensively. The most reliable online defensive driving tips generally come from sites that are geared at promoting education, rather than making a profit from selling books or merchandise. Websites often feature photographs and videos to help curious drivers better understand defensive driving situations and concepts.
A more formal route of acquiring defensive driving tips is attending a physical or online defensive driver's training program. Training programs are frequently offered to anyone who wants to improve driving skills, and some regions require participation in order to earn a driver's license or compensate for a traffic ticket. In a training course, students may watch videos comparing safe and unsafe drivers and take short quizzes to test their knowledge. Accredited instructors may relate personal stories or general information about defensive driving and encourage students to participate in classroom activities. Upon the completion of a defensive driving course, individuals are well prepared to protect themselves and others on the road.
Post 2
Agreed, Scrbblechick. You have to be willing to be the adult. Adults -- real adults -- don't give in to road rage. They might cuss out the other driver in the privacy of their car, and might even call the cops on the other driver, but they don't try to retaliate. That's so stupid.
A guy in our town is sitting on death row because he shot a man he *thought* cut his girlfriend off in traffic. The victim had no idea what he had done. It was very sad.
Good defensive driving means driving like an intelligent adult who has the sense to allow other drivers to have the right of way if they insist, and to keep their cool behind the wheel.
Post 1
Use common sense, really. That's the best defensive driving technique. Common sense driving means you slow down when the weather is bad, whether that's rain, snow or fog. Just slow down and don't be an idiot! You can't see better than anyone else on the road, so keep your speed down and let other people pass you if they feel the need.
Also, don't pull off the road in a heavy rainstorm unless you find a parking lot or other place where people can safely park. If you pull over to the side of the road, you might be hit from behind by someone who can't see you and decided to pull over in the same place. Anytime you pull over, turn on your emergency flashers to make your vehicle more visible.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

The 35-mpg federal fuel standard for cars that is the centerpiece of the energy bill that President Bush signed into law this morning has caught the world's attention but it is little-known provisions of the historic legislation that might ultimately have the most impact on America's truckers.
The bill, signed just days after the Senate passed it, ups the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) requirements for the first time since Gerald Ford sat in the Oval Office.
It will force automakers to boost fuel mileage 40% for cars and light trucks (under 10,000 lbs GVW) by 2020. The bill also requires a six-fold increase in ethanol use to 36 billion gallons a year by 2022 as well as new energy efficiency standards for appliances, lighting and buildings.
Many believe the new bill is notable because its final form does not contain incentives to boost widespread use of renewable fuels as well as the end of tax breaks for oil companies to pay for those incentives
But trucking needs to know that buried in the 822-pg bill are provisions that addresses fuel economy standards for what are termed "medium and heavy work trucks," that is anything over 10,000 lbs. GVW.
The bill also appears to create a new class of vehicle called a "work truck," which is defined as any non-passenger vehicle with a GVW between 8,500 and 10,000 lbs. Both classes of commercial vehicles can expect to see their own set of fuel economy standards as soon as 2016.
The energy bill doesn't set hard and fast MPG averages as it does for light vehicles. Instead it requires the Depts. of Transportation and Energy to join the Environmental Protection Agency to devise "appropriate test procedures" for measuring truck fuel efficiency. Specifically, those tests must take into consideration duty cycles, truck design limitations, the variety of truck applications and overall operating costs.
Within one year of completing the study, the Sec. of Energy and EPA Administrator are required to issue rules setting fuel economy standards "that are appropriate, cost-effective and technologically feasible for commercial medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and work trucks." It also gives the Sec. of Energy the flexibility to set separate standards for what it calls "different classes of vehicles."

Our partner organisations on Malta
CABS works with four partner organisations for improved bird protection on Malta:
International Animal Rescue
The IAR is our oldest partner organisation on the Maltese islands. This organisation, founded in 1990 as the local branch of a British organisation, concerns itself primarily with wildlife and animal protection. Members of the organisation man a recovery station for injured birds, run an education programme and information events, and act as our main link to the environmental police unit (ALE).
BirdLife Malta
With its Raptor Camps, BirdLife Malta actively commits itself to putting an end to illegal hunting of birds of prey and other poaching activities on Malta. Since 2008 we have coordinated with operations on the ground with them, and agree on local campaign activities and policies. In addition, BirdLife Malta works in the fields of environmental and youth education and manages a comprehensive project for the protection of the Maltese sea bird colonies.
Foundation Pro Biodiversity (SPA)
The Foundation Pro Biodiversity, aka SPA, has been an exceptionally committed partner of CABS for years and has regularly provided financial support for our bird protection camps on Malta. In 2012 the SPA was also active on Malta's sister island Gozo and contributed substantial funds to enable the permanent deployment of two CABS teams on the island.
Ligue Royale pour la Protection des Oiseaux
The Ligue Royale Belge pour la Protection des Oiseaux (LRBPO) is the largest Belgian nature protection organisation and one of our oldest partner organisations. In the 1970s and 1980s we campaigned together for an end of bird trapping in Belgium; today we strive for better bird protection on Malta. The LRPBO coordinates the European wide campaign against spring hunting on Malta and is the first point of contact with the EC in Brussels.

How To Click Lipstick Swatch
Blogging may look as easy as walking in a garden, but is it really that easy???
The answer to this is NO. Blogging is not as easy as it may look, it needs a lot of time and patience and few people blessed with patience become big bloggers. Our Anamika is one of those bloggers who are immensely blessed with patience and love, and which is why she is able to run five blogs at a time.
What is beauty & makeup blogging all about…. A product to review, some fancy words and few pictures in hand!!! This is how it looks from far but the truth is rather than just fancy words some great sense of observation and good pictures to depict about your product in subject is more important. While we talk about makeup blogging, lipstick comes in our minds first.
These are the easiest and the most common way to start. A Lipstick's review was my second post here on wiseshe and the third one too and then so on. I would like to mention how after two- three lipstick reviews I got a mail from wiseshe that appreciated my lip swatches and asked if I will continue with such reviews since my lip swatches are accepted well by the audiences. I cannot describe in words how special that moment was for me, it was like this is it, I am doing nothing but will stay with wiseshe forever :-*
I am no expert in lipstick swatches but still would love to share few tips about clicking lipstick swatches. It is not that I have not committed mistakes or will never commit mistakes in doing these but just keeping my tips & tricks with myself and not sharing with you all would be a bigger mistake.
Ohhh, I have already talked so much….. four paragraphs already!!!
Looks like it is now time to get straight to the topic and give a pause to my talks for a while.
No Pout Is Less Beautiful
While doing a lip swatch, never ever think that you have a less beautiful pout. Honestly I am not very fond of my pout, I actually think that it is a bit weird somewhat like Donald Duck but when it comes to work, I stand I front of camera with my bets pout forward that without any expression shows confidence.
Be Friends With Camera Not Just With Mirror
You have often heard and read about how rehearsing expressions and talking in front of a mirror helps, but when it comes to clicking lip swatches be friends with camera. Click different pictures of your lip swatches with all different expressions and find your best bet, for instance you must have notices how Ira and Sahiba  keep their lips slightly open in their lip swatches and how Rashmi always smiles in her lip swatches. I do not smile in lip swatches because I have a clownish smile, mirror never told me this but my true friend Camera told me this. Camera holds an expression and shows you how it likes but mirror does not d this.
Several Clicks In Different Lights
Believe it or not for a single lipstick swatch I click around 20-30 pictures or even more to present the best one. Even after you have got your expression of hold for the lipstick swatch it is not always possible to get the best in the first click and even if you have got one, you still should give multiple shots for the best picture. It is often said that natural daylight captures the swatches the best, but at times even day light fails to capture the actual shade.
Presenting the actual shade and finish is of utmost importance then just clicking a pretty pout. So work under several lights, positions and corners to capture the best swatch. The best natural day light to click pictures is when the sun rises and the sky is full of light not when the sun is on its full power and gives immense shine. I hope you get my point here.
Please keep this in mind forever, get your upper lips done always before you do a lip swatch. A single or two hair stray is fine, but those full upper lips do not at all look good, infact they look tacky, sorry if I sound rude but this is the truth. Come on, this is your work and when you do a review you definitely should think of its presentation.
If very frequent saloon visits are hindering your way then you should definitely invest in Facial Hair Epicare Epilator Epistick Remover Stick, this is a fabulous tool to get your upper lips done at times when you cannot visit a salon. I personally prefer not clicking pictures and wait for my getting my upper lips done, but will never come up with a lip swatch that has immense upper lips. Exfoliate your lips and keep them moisturized before lipstick appliactionwhen preparing for lips swatches, this will make your lips appear beautiful.
Lipstick Hand Swatch
Always keep the lipstick hand swatches broad, broad enough to gibe clear idea about the lipstick shade, finish, texture and color pay off. Try to give utmost information through pictures, this will help you get more explanatory pictures.
Lip swatches are often cropped and in this process the quality of the picture alters & lowers a bit. For lips swatches take as close pictures as you can but always click after your swatches are in focus. This will to a great extent will help in getting better pictures.
These were some tips that when should always keep in mind while taking lipstick swatches. There are several very detailed tips like checking the ISO and Exposure levels for getting the right lipstick shade, but that's more on the photography front which will need some technical understanding.
I hope you people liked these tips. I again say I am no expert, so feel free to pour in your suggestions, there is a big possibility that your trick might just become mine….. So keep sharing :-)) :lipstick:

Cellulite removal is easy once you know what causes cellulite.
Learn what you can do to get rid of cellulite here!
Quick Skip:
~Cellulite Remedies
~Cellulite Removal Machines
~Getting Rid of Cellulite
~How to Lose Cellulite
~Anti Cellulite Diet
Cellulite is swollen fat cells.
When fat cells are swollen, it causes them to press through a fish net like mesh just under your skin. This causes your skin to look lumpy.
Swollen fat cells create cellulite. This inflammation, or swelling makes your normal fat cells large and lumpy.
When your cellulite begins to show, it's because your fat cells are full of extra water, toxins or something else causing swelling and inflammation...like your body pH being too "acid".
The rules:
So, if you put these things in your body, your body is likely too acid and you're experiencing unwanted water retention and swelling that these refined sugars and toxins can cause.
Then, your body takes the chemicals it can't process and STORES THEM IN YOUR FAT CELLS to keep these toxins away from your vital organs, like your brain and heart.
And finally, in order to "dilute" the toxins your fat cells have grabbed, they fill up with water! Swollen fat cells gives the bumpy cellulite appearance to your skin.
Stop feeding your body junk and it will begin doing cellulite removal for you! Be sure to start on a great Anti Cellulite Diet as soon as possible.
You've heard that water retention can cause cellulite... but be
sure to read further before you reach for that diuretic or water pill...
If your body pH is too "acidic" then an Alkaline water machine can help shift your pH to a healthier, more efficient Alkaline pH and support detoxification as well.
I lost water weight, cellulite and body fat within the first 3 days I began drinking the Alkaline water. The weight loss continued until I'd lost 9 lbs in just 5 weeks.
Drinking the water has been the easiest fast weight loss aid I've ever used. Read about Jessica's weight loss, and her friend Sara's too.
Love your fat!
You would die without it!
You've seen people who are anorexic die when they starve their body of it's vital, life giving fat stores...
But deep body fat is just that--deep under the skin.
We all have body fat, no matter what size we are. Fat is necessary for:
You also have fat cells right under your skin--and these are the
ones that have a cellulite appearance when they fill up with toxins or
water, or if your hormones aren't balanced.
After I started my Anti Cellulite Diet, I checked my hormone levels.
My hormone balance was off.
After LOTS of research and trying all kinds of bio-identical hormone replacement methods, I chose to use Sotto-Pelle hormone replacement. It works for men and women.
I began to get rid of cellulite and deep body fat steadily in just a few weeks time.
I loved the fast weight loss. My lean muscle mass also increased, and I began to have the figure I hadn't seen since high school!
I had a better sex drive, my hair started growing back in my eyebrows and eyelashes, and I stopped losing head hair.
Hormone balance is critical for helping your body detoxify itself. I was retaining water without good hormone balance. It gave my fat cells a cellulite appearance.
I believe you can look great in your swim suit, experience fast weight loss, and enjoy easy cellulite removal all at the same time.
Here are a few more things that might keep your body from doing it's own cellulite removal:
Did you know . . .
If you're doing everything "right" to remove cellulite, or lose weight, and you just can't... consider reading,
"Lose the weight you hate", by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker. This book will likely be your personal answer to being healthy, losing weight and help you get rid of cellulite too!
One of my favorite tips to help remove cellulite:
1) Use the
Ionizer Plus™water along with the far infrared sauna after you've begun the Anti Cellulite Diet and that may be all you need to do!
2) Consider Mesotherapy, where your plastic surgeon injects a fluid that dissolves and destroys fat and your body carries it away.
Mesotherapy requires several injections over a long period of
time. You have to wait between treatments for the fat to dissolve and
die, in order to see where your remaining cellulite is, and where to
inject your trouble spots for cellulite removal.
3) Consider liposuction carefully...,
Realize that liposuction usually does NOT result in effective cellulite
reduction, because liposuction usually focuses on "deep" fat, cellulite
is fat closer to your skin's surface.
If your doctor did liposuction close to your skin to reduce cellulite, you may end up with divots, lumps and uneven skin.
Some have liposuction done anyway, and have marginal results--just remember, deep fat is different that cellulite.
Be sure to ask your doctor what he recommends. Perhaps both liposuction and mesotherapy will help your trouble spots if you've tried everything else.
Quick tip: All the liposuction plastic surgeons we talked with said they have an anti cellulite diet protocol they encourage their patients to try before having cellulite removal, mesotherapy, or laser liposuction procedures done.
If you want cellulite removal or liposuction to help you lose weight fast--most plastic surgeons will NOT help you by performing cosmetic surgery.
Cosmetic surgery fact:
Cellulite removal, liposuction, and mesotherapy are only for trouble spots on an already healthy body.
Cosmetic surgery for fat removal and reducing cellulite is done only when trouble spots DO NOT respond to diet and exercise...
I am in my 40's now, and I regularly use two "cellulite removal" machines...
The BEST thing about these machines is that they help REMOVE TOXINS from the body. One machine burns up to 700 calories each time I use it, and I'm just sitting there!!
It's a High Tech Health Far Infrared Sauna. Call my friends at 800-794-5355 or go to
HighTechHealth.com. They told me they've had GREAT success with cellulite disappearing when their clients use their Far Infrared Sauna. It has many, many other health benefits too...
This sauna isn't a "regular" sauna... Oprah and Dr. Oz explain some benefits of this type of sauna.
Don't forget to ask the people at High Tech Health about the Alkaline water too! My friend Jessica had horrible acne, into her twenties...
By drinking the alkaline water, her acne scars began disappearing and her beautiful skin is returning, just like when she was a little girl!
She's quite pleased with her results, even though she's only been drinking the Alkaline water for 30 days!!
Read Jessica's story on the "cellulite machine" page.
Aging gracefully and having beautiful skin all over your body (for men and women)may be easier than you think!
For a completely natural alternative to liposuction, mesotherapy, cellulite removal surgery or cellulite removal creams of any kind:
If that doesn't rid cellulite completely, consider mesotherapy or perhaps reduce cellulite appearance with cellulite creams.

Yay, how fun! I recently had fun dressing up in 20s style too, for a dinner club! (the post is on my blog) I have always wanted to attend one of those murder mystery parties. Maybe I will have my own one day! I might need a bigger house. Possibly a spookier one :P You look lovely!

It must be the year for it- my brother's Halloween party was 1920s themed, and I've been watching Poirot, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, and Mrs. Bradley Mysteries pretty much continuously on a loop for months.
The headband is lovely.

*Do not laugh or cheer loudly during the impeachment hearings.
*Do not dance or make other physical displays during the impeachment hearings.
*Do not display signs, placards, projections or television screens during the impeachment hearings (we're looking at you here, Shafer.)
Should people really have to be told not to cheer and dance at an impeachment hearing? Well, emotions run close to the surface when it comes to Blagojevich.
In other news, it appears that I'm going to have to admit that I was wrong. I underestimated Roland Burris' desire to put his name on the list of Illinois Senators at any cost. The man is willing to throw his reputation away to get there, and that's what he's done. It looks like it's going to work. The Democratic leadership in the Senate has switched from talking about Blagojevich and his taint (hey, they said it, not me) to claiming that it's a simple paperwork matter--Burris simply doesn't have the certification he needs from Secretary of State Jesse White. Since it seems White will have to provide that sooner or later, it looks like they're laying the groundwork to say "Well, we're still not happy, but what can we do?" and let Burris take his seat.

Have you tried to get three people in a bed? How about a cat? Well if the answer is no then Triad is here to fix that. Created by Anna Anthropy & Leon Arnott, Triad is a simple pixel art based puzzle game where you must work out the best possible way to fit three people in a bed.
As crazy as it sounds this little free game is a fun, delightful experience. The core idea is that after what is never known, the trio lose track of time and ask "What is we try all three of us sharing the same bed?". Thus begins the start of the game. Shaped like Tetris pieces each of the three has different 'needs' as well. One tens to flip over in the night, a read-head rolls about and a topless male doesn't move but rather snore. Lastly, the cat.
Triad isn't a long game in fact it took me less then half an hour to bear but it's fun and challenging. It gets you thinking about space and trying to fit the needs of each person. The real kicker here is that the solution, or at least the one i found, was right in front of me. I just didn't notice it. None the less, for a free little game Triad is fantastic.
If you want to try your hand at solving one of life's greatest questions, then give Triad a go now for both Windows and Mac. You can download it over at Anna Anthropy's site.

Mizzou men's basketball transformation triggers season-ticket sales surge
Never before has Missouri opened up season-ticket renewals and new season-ticket sales so soon after the conclusion of its men's basketball season.
But the remarkable three-week transformation of the once-proud program, which has fallen on hard times, prompted the Tigers to capitalize on the gathering momentum almost before the recent moribund season was laid to rest.
Based on the early sales receipts, it seems like a prudent business move, too.
Two weeks into its sales drive, which is being spearheaded by a new revenue-sharing partnership for outbound ticket sales with IMG Learfield Ticket Solutions, MU told The Star it has sold 1,503 renewals or new season tickets through the close of business Friday.
The hiring of Cuonzo Martin from California coupled with top prospect Michael Porter Jr.'s commitment to the Tigers has revitalized interest in a program despite four consecutive seasons without an NCAA Tournament appearance.
School officials are hailing the surge as a "tremendous response" from a fanbase starved for good news.
Mizzou announced March 5 that former coach Kim Anderson had been asked to step down.
Anderson, who was introduced Monday as the new coach at Pittsburg (Kan.) State, inherited an NCAA investigation, difficult-to-navigate APR issues and a deteriorating roster.
He halted much off the off-court turmoil, but the Tigers went 27-68 on Anderson's watch, including the recently completed 8-24 campaign.
It marked the second time during Anderson's three seasons Mizzou broke the program record for most losses in a single season.
First-year athletic director Jim Sterk moved aggressively to pry Cuonzo Martin away from the Pac-12's Golden Bears, reaching a seven-year deal worth $21 million March 15.
The return of the Porter family to Columbia was the next domino to fall.
Last summer, Porter Jr. committed to Washington — where his godfather, Lorenzo Romar, was entrenched as head coach and his father, Michael Porter Sr., was hired as an assistant last spring after six seasons on the Mizzou women's staff.
Porter Jr. was released from the national letter of intent he signed in November with the Huskies after Romar was fired on the same day the Tigers hired Martin.
Less than a week later, Porter Sr. joined Martin's staff at Mizzou and Porter Jr. also announced he would be coming home to Columbia.
Porter Jr. moved to mid-Missouri before fifth grade and emerged as one of the best basketball players in the country, helping Father Tolton Catholic win the 2016 Missouri Class 3 state championship.
During one season at Nathan Hale High in Seattle, Porter Jr. became the Naismith Prep Player of the Year and Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year while helping the undefeated Raiders (29-0) win a Washington Class 3A state crown and mythical MaxPreps national title.
Porter Jr. added MVP honors Wednesday during the McDonald's All-American Game in Chicago, cementing his place as the top player in the 2017 crop of high school prospects.
Now, he's trying to convince a few more blue-chip recruits to join him in Mizzou's quest to climb from the SEC cellar back closer to college basketball's summit.
Tigers fans appear to have taken notice.
The school sold 12,448 season tickets in 2012-13, a figure that held relatively steady in 2013-14 (12,444) and 2014-15 (12,146).
Mizzou reported 11,042 season tickets in 2015-16, but that number dropped precipitously to 8,876 last season, a decline of 28.7 percent in five years.
Buoyed by the hiring of Martin and the return of the Porter family, expect those slumping sales to rebound now that hopes again springs eternal for Tigers hoops.

text: President Buhari composed a delegation of officials tasked with ensuring that Yahya Jammeh peacefully step down as President of Gambia. The Committee to Protect Journalists stated that Nigeria's army chief must stop intimidating news websites and drop defamation charges. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has expressed concern about the rise in in the number of Nigerian women travelling by boat from Libya to Italy. Despite the government's assertions that Boko Haram has been defeated, tens of thousands of displaced people from the northeast of Nigeria are being prevented from returning home. Boko Haram attacked an army base in Yobe state on 7 January leading to the deaths of 5 soldiers and 15 militants. A suicide bombing occurred on 16 January at University of Maiduguri which killed 4, including the attacker. The police commissioner of Borno state announced that on 24 January, suspected Boko Haram fighters killed three people and kidnapped seven women in an attack on Ndagu village. On 17 January the Nigerian military accidentally bombed a camp holding around 43,000 internally displaced people in Raan, near the Cameroonian border. The governor of Borno province accused aid agencies of profiting from funds provided to help those affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. In response to Shettima's accusations, UN Humanitarian Coordinator Edward Kallon flew to Maiduguri to discuss his damaging comments. Nigeria's Senate is investigating accusations that government agents are stealing food aid. Oil production in Nigeria fell by 200,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 1.45 million bpd in December. The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas planned and staged numerous strikes in January. The lack of access to foreign currency, in particular US dollars, continues to be a significant drag on the economy as the black market rate is around 500 naira per dollar. This is in contrast to the official rate of around 315.

Ground Husk Cherry Pie
If we are talking about seasonal fall foods, pie totally falls into that category, right? Today I'm sharing probably the only recipe I know for ground husk cherries, and of course, it became a pie. You're going to be pleasantly surprised by the ingredients to make this pie and crust. Definitely not as 'unhealthy' as you think.
Who doesn't love a good pie? Every fall my Grandma and Dad make apple pies. Because my parents' property is an old apple orchard there are tons of apples to be had. But the caveat is they have to be picked and used before the bear comes. Seriously. A black bear comes every year and has a party in what we call 'the fruit loop' of trees. He usually tears down a branch or two, steals some apples and heads home. Usually one of the dogs is outside totally oblivious, eating a bone on the patio. And because we are morons, we go outside to take pictures. Very quietly.
But for this ground husk cherry pie I know it's in no-way traditional, but you've got to try it. Take a chance on this pie like we take a chance on going outside where there's a hungry bear. But this is way less dangerous. As a first time ground husk cherry eater or (also called husk tomatoes or ground cherries), the best way I can explain their flavor is 'caramelized pineapple'. I honestly can't figure out how I want to classify them in a culinary way. Although they're nightshades like an eggplant or tomato, the recipes I see have them being used in fruit salads, over greens, in relish...they're versatile. And now they're in pie.
Ground Husk Cherry Pie
Filling and topping adapted from Michele Engholm
Pie crust recipe is my Grandma's. Because she's awesome.
/// Filling ///
- 2 c ground cherries, husk removed and fruit rinsed
- 3 T brown sugar (heaping)
- 1 T flour
- 2 T water
/// Topping///
- 3 T sugar
- 3T flour
- 2.5 T butter, grated
/// Grandma's Pie Crust ///
- 2 C flour
- 1 T sugar
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 c canola oil
- 1/4 c milk
/// Directions /// To make the pie crust, combine ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir with a fork and then use your hands to gather and press the dough together. Form into a disk and freeze wrapped in plastic for 25 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425. While the pie crust is freezing, husk the fruit and rinse. Remove the pie crust from the freezer and roll out into a loose disk. It's okay if it's a little crumbly since it presses into the pie tin just as well! Toss fruit with the remainder of the filling ingredients and add to the pie crust. Combine topping ingredients using your fingers to get a crumble texture. Top fruit. Freeze for ten minutes. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes and then turn the oven down to 375 for 30 minutes.
Serve with salted caramel ice cream (seriously, it's amazing) and garnish with a little fresh basil if you have it.
Can you tell I'm obsessed with how this turned out? The berries form into the perfect texture of a little bit mushy while also keeping their shape. So darn good!

The lovely Ms. Brittany is my second shooter. She is hilarious, incredibly sweet (she brings me cookies before weddings!), AND so so talented. Her only flaw really is that she lives too far south, therefor I only see her for events:( We should really do something about that. Needless to say, I was soooo excited to officially meet Corby and photograph their engagement session - and I am so excited for their wedding in September:)
Thanks for coming all the way to the Westside Market for your engagement session, Brittany + Corby!
(And for the delicious cannoli!)

Want to protect yourself from having your mail stolen and possibly consequent fraud or identity theft?
Simply contact Mr. Locksmith , Surrey on and book an appointment to have your mailbox lock rekeyed today.
We spend a lot of time and often trouble worrying about, and protecting ourselves, against break-ins. But have you ever considered how vulnerable your mailbox might be and the damage, inconvenience and possibly much worse that might follow if it is broken into and important documents or information stolen.?
You will probably be realising by now that we regard mailbox security almost as highly as home or business security. In Surrey, as in most Canadian cities, the bulk of mail is delivered into wall-mounted mailboxes. These are frequently located in public areas where a lot of casual traffic pass through so they are exposed and, potentially, vulnerable.
Having mailbox lock changed is one straightforward, but essential way, to deter criminal activity. The mechanism in these locks are pretty simple usually comprising three to five small wafers which match the configuration of the key. The lock is held by a C-clip applying pressure to the door.
We can simply take out the existing lock and install a new one in its place or, if you should get locked out of the mailbox we can pick it or drill it if necessary and then replace the lock with a brand new set of keys.
If you want to start from the beginning with your mailbox security – and this is generally a good idea as it means you know how many keys there are and who has them – then having the lock replaced is the only way to do this. Ideally you should replace the mailbox lock every time you take on a new tenancy. Then you can be sure that you have control of security issues.
And Mr Locksmith, Surrey replaces more mailbox locks in the city than any other locksmith. Our operatives are expertly trained and equipped and we stock every major brand and type of mailbox lock in – so you won't need to wait for a replacement. Plus we offer flexibility and speed with same day service and 24 hour coverage. The process only takes our skilled specialists around 15 minutes to complete – but will give you years of service, safety and peace of mind.
Have you lost the key to your mailbox? We'll replace it for $95 plus taxes (7 days/8am-8pm – plus additional $45 for after hours callouts).

The oldest horse whose age has been recorded was 62 years old at the time of death. The horse, named Old Billy, pulled barges in canals in England. He was born in 1760 and died in 1822. As of 2014, his preserved skull is on display at the Manchester Museum.
The average lifespan of a horse ranges from 25 to 30 years. Shayne, an Irish draft cross thoroughbred who was living at the Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary in Essex, was thought to be the world's oldest living horse at the time he died in 2013, at the age of 51.

Print Honey & sesame chicken with teriyaki spring noodles
When cooking a stir-fry on a high heat it only takes a few minutes for everything to come together, so it is vital to prep everything you need in advance and have it ready and to hand. If you are feeling obsessively thorough then you can arrange it all in order on your chopping board. By slicing everything thinly you increase the surface area in contact with the pan and subsequently reduce the cooking time. A fast cooking time also means that you keep a semi-cooked bite to the veg which is part of the charm in a dish like this.
Key facts
- Preparation time
- 20 mins
- Cooking time
- 15 mins
- Total time
- 35 mins
- Serves
- 2
- 2 garlic cloves
- 25g ginger
- 1 fresh chilli
- Small bunch spring onions
- 1 courgette
- 125g flat green beans
- 1 kohlrabi
- 150g udon noodles
- 1 Little Gem lettuce
- 30g fresh coriander
- 50ml sesame oil
- 300g diced chicken breast
- ½ tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tsp honey
- 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- Salt
- Peel and finely chop or grate both the garlic and the ginger. Deseed and finely chop the chilli. Put a pan of salted water on to boil. Trim away the root end from the spring onions and remove any tired looking outer layers.
- Slice the onions very finely at an angle. Wash the courgette and, using a veg peeler, peel it into long ribbon-like lengths. Turn as you go, until you reach the soft central core. Slice the ribbons into fine strips (this is easily done by stacking 3 or 4 on top of each other at a time).
- Wash the green beans and slice them as finely as you can at angle. Lightly peel and cut the kohlrabi into matchsticks. Place the noodles into the boiling water and cook for 8 minutes until just tender, drain, and cool them immediately in cold water to stop them cooking.
- Leave them in the cold water until needed. Meanwhile, wash the little gem. Shake dry. Remove and discard the very end of the root from the Little Gem. Cut it into thin wedges, lengthways. Wash the fresh coriander, shake dry and roughly chop the leaves.
- Heat half the sesame oil in the wok. Season the chicken with salt. When the oil is very hot add the chicken and stir-fry it vigorously for 3-4 minutes until nicely coloured. Add the sesame seeds and honey to the chicken and cook for 1 more minute.
- Remove the chicken from the wok and keep it to one side. Give the wok a quick wipe out before adding the remaining sesame oil. Heat the sesame oil in the wok until very hot. Add the beans and kohlrabi; beware of spitting oil as you do so. Fry them vigorously for 1 minute, moving constantly.
- Add the courgettes, Little Gem, chilli, ginger, garlic and a pinch of salt and continue to fry for 2 more minutes.Throw in the chicken, spring onions, teriyaki sauce and 3 tablespoons (45ml) of water. Allow it to bubble and reduce while you drain the noodles.
- Add the noodles and toss them together with everything for 1 minute until heated through. Remove from the heat and throw in the most of the coriander. Toss together and divide between bowls, scattered with the remaining coriander.

Queer in Context: Sarah's Story/
Rainbow Street is proud to present the second installment of Queer In Context, an ongoing series that highlights the multitude of unique stories and experiences of LGBT people across the Arab World. Rainbow Street envisions a world in which our mission of supporting queer and trans* people living in crisis in the Arab World becomes obsolete. Until that time, sharing stories, like the one to follow, is among the most powerful tools for creating a global community of support.
Gender dysphoria is a psychiatric diagnosis given to those who identify with a gender other than the one assigned to them at birth. People with gender dysphoria experience a myriad of discomforts due to societal conditions that can alight with the transgender experience, though being transgender does not mean one has gender dysphoria. The classification of gender dysphoria in the DSM is controversial amongst cis and trans folks alike.
Trigger warning: The term transsexual is used in this article. It has varying connotations, and is not considered to be an encompassing descriptor (unlike trans*). Many individuals who identify as transgender are not comfortable with the term. However, Sarah identifies as transsexual, and it is important to respect how she identifies. As quoted in the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, "Everyone has the right to self identify."
Sarah is a twenty-seven year old transsexual woman living in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. She has lived there for most of her life – hiding her true gender identity. In Saudi Arabia she is not seen as a woman, but as a "third sex." "Third sex" is a term used in Saudi Arabia to insult those who don't fit into the typical gender binary or identify with a gender other than assigned at birth.
"In the West, you would call me a transitioning woman. In Saudi Arabia, I am a third sex." she says.
Trans people in Saudi Arabia have much difficulty living a normal life. The media within Saudi Arabia does not help with the negative perception of trans and transitioning people.
"Every couple of years we get a program that talks about [transgender issues] and that's it. The media shows it as something that can be cured by therapy, which is not true. They put [trans people and trans issues] in a negative light most of the time. I've seen only six programs in eight years, and those were about an hour long each – six hours of coverage only. This does nothing to help."
In Saudi Arabia, people who identify outside of typical perceptions of gender are in two categories: transgender and intersex.
Intersexuality is a much more visible part of the spectrum in Saudi Arabia than it is in the Western world. This visibility comes with misunderstanding, but it also comes with a small amount of privilege that trans people do not have. They undergo a lot of struggle, but have more options available to them through medical professionals.
"[Intersex people] are treated differently than trans people because of two reasons: society and religion. People simply do not believe surgery is a viable option for trans people. They think it's just a mental thing and can be fixed by [therapy]. Religion says that people should not alter 'god's creation.'"
Transitioning is against the law in Saudi Arabia. Some people, however, believe the law can be circumvented in cases where physical change must be made for medical reasons. A popular view is that physical change is medically necessary for intersex people – not trans people.
Sarah outlines the physical differences between intersex and trans people clearly. The same distinction is taken as a concrete wall between trans people and the medical world.
"I've seen all kinds of doctors and they were mostly horrible. Doctors who do not believe in gender dysphoria go as far as giving trans people pills for mental disorders. A psychologist tried to give me pills for schizophrenia. He said [my] gender identity was just an illusion."
While surgery is allowed for intersex people in Saudi Arabia, it is still not easy to obtain.
"He or she would need to get a letter from a doctor and also from a religious authority [authorizing the surgery.]"
Sarah is currently on hormones obtained from outside the medical world and hopes to get surgery one day. She says her dad will pay for the surgery if she reads religious text for a year. He hopes this will change her mind. If it doesn't, Sarah says her dad will recognize that "god wants her this way."
"These prayers won't change who I am, but my dad has hope. Four months have passed – eight are left." She hopes to have transitioned in a year.
This is no small feat. Sarah believes a lack of knowledge about gender identity and gender dysphoria is a cause for the unavailability of surgery for most trans people. If her dad ultimately agrees to pay for surgery, she will have to leave Saudi Arabia to receive it.
"[In Saudi Arabia], you get two different types of doctors. The first type [doesn't] believe in gender dysphoria at all and will try to change a trans person mentally. The other type does believe in gender dysphoria, but they will never give a prescription for hormones or surgery. A trans person can spend thousands for these sessions for months, and in the end they will get a diagnosis that says gender dysphoria and that's it. They never mention hormones or surgery in their diagnosis. They fear for their jobs."
The patriarchy of the Arab world also continues into the non-cis spectrum of gender. "Doctors are usually more judgemental towards MTF patients than FTM ones." Sarah explains. "A man becoming a woman is frowned upon. The opposite is a bit better in society's eyes."
Daily life is often depressing for her. "I finished college years ago, so I sit in my room most of the time. Going out is hard sometimes because of my looks. This can be dangerous, [especially] because of the religious police."
Sarah has found an outlet and support in the online community. She finds connections from all over the world – though it's lacking from those closer to her.
"I've got my online friends and that's it. Whenever I try to talk to my dad he gets angry and starts yelling and basically blames me for feeling this way. My mother is the same thing – my brothers don't really want to hear it at all."
Sarah wants a different life in Saudi Arabia. "The law needs to be changed to help us. Doctors need to help us, the media needs to change."
Perception needs to change.
"It took my family years to just entertain the idea of surgery. During those years they've said and done a lot of very harsh things to make me give up transitioning. There have been times where my mother said 'I don't want to look at you.' Times where my dad called me a disaster. I feel like the first important thing [for a trans person] is their family's acceptance. Once that happens, everything else becomes easier."

Your story starts with the very first image...
Your story starts with the very first image on the screen.
The power of image is demonstrated over and over again in film as we use our minds to scroll back over movies that have affected us deeply. Whether it is the famous dying words of Citizen Kane - 'Rosebud' that sets the story in motion. Or the loop-de-loops of the flying bug at the beginning of 'Men in Black' or the shelf of toys at the opening of Monsters Inc. Each image starts us on our journey.
In the case of Monsters Inc, the shelf loaded with toys is a red herring. Its put there to lull you into believing the tale is set in a human world. It's set in a child's room, a world where nothing scary can happen and then POW. In minutes you've been up-ended into a world that isn't human at all - a MONSTER world that actually preys on our most vulnerable element - our children.
So, if you're engaged in the act of creating a screenplay, I ask you; what is the first image that flashes onto the screen at fade up? Will it land us exactly in the middle of the world in which the story takes place? Or, will it simply be used to lure us in and have the rug pulled out from under our feet moments later.
The act of writing is all about making choices and that first image is only one in a long series of story choices that will shape your audiences reaction to the film you're crafting. So give it some serious thought as to how you will use that first image. Is it bait? Or is it a straightforward springboard into your story. Does it set the tone, the mood or the era for us? What does that first image accomplish?
The same is true of how we (as the audience) encounter your hero/heroine for the first time. In Monsters Inc, the first time we see James P. Sullivan (Sully) he's sleeping. Nothing could be more innocent than that. The writer's are telling us that Sully is as innocent and likable as the little children he spends every night scaring into tears.
Those first moments are important. Use them knowingly and with care -- from them springs your entire screenplay!
I hope this helps. And good luck with your writing.

Diego Costa sends a surprising parting message to Antonio Conte
On Thursday, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid agreed a reported £57m deal for the transfer of Diego Costa.
The Spanish club are currently hamstrung by a transfer embargo until January but will welcome the Brazilian born striker back to Madrid when the window re-opens.
Summer signing from Real Madrid, Alvaro Morata has filled the massive void left by Costa brilliantly thus far, scoring three goals in his opening four Premier league games.
The 24-year-old Spaniard is likely to rival Costa for a place in Julen Lopetegui's starting XI at next summer's 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Costa joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in 2014 for £32m but had a very public falling out with Italian boss Antonio Conte over the summer.
The 28-year-old received the following text from his boss after topping Chelsea's goalscoring charts last season:
"Hi Diego, I hope you are well. Thanks for the season we spent together. Good luck for the next year but you are not in my plan."
Costa has been angling for a return to Atletico throughout the summer but the two clubs struggled to agree on a fee.
The controversial forward has maintained an excellent relationship with Atletico's passionate Argentine boss Diego Simeone.
Simeone helped transform Costa into the world class striker who has wreaked havoc on Premier League defences over the last three seasons.
Costa's parting message
The Chelsea fan favourite is not an avid user of social media so his message to Conte and the Stamford Bridge faithful came via an interview with a Brazilian media outlet.
When asked in Sao Paulo if he was upset at the way Conte had treated him, Costa told Splash News: "There's nothing of the sort there, I'm not upset with anybody, I have no bitterness towards anyone. Everything is cool."
Asked if he had a message for the Chelsea fans, he added: "Everybody knows how much I love the fans."
Refusing to train with the Chelsea reserves, Costa criticised Conte from his home in Brazil in August.
He suggested the former Juventus coach "doesn't possess charisma" and slammed him over the text which ended Costa's Chelsea career.
"There are ways of going about it," said Costa to the Daily Mail in August. "You don't do it by text message. You should be honest and direct to someone's face."
The saga appears to have come to an end.News Now - Sport News
