Colleges Offer More Aid To Keep Enrollment Up
By Chris Metinko
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- Seeing their pool of students decrease, many U.S. private colleges are offering more and more aid to keep classrooms filled.
That was the finding of an annual tuition discounting survey conducted by the National Association of College and University Business Officers. The study found the average tuition discount -- which are grants and scholarships offered by the schools -- for the 2012 incoming class hit a new all-time high of 45% at schools.
"We saw 5% tuition increases in recent years until 2008," said Bill Hall, president of Applied Policy Research Inc., which advises colleges on pricing and admission strategies. "That kind of rate is unsustainable, especially with the changing demographics."
Despite the increased discounts, the study revealed more than half the schools -- nearly 51%-- reported a decline in enrollment of incoming freshmen or maintained identical numbers from 2011.
"Institutions have been trying to use discounts to attract students," said David Longanecker, president of Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. "However, institutions can't continue this practice. Colleges are going to have to learn how to give quality education to a changing demographic more cost effectively and less expensively."
While the numbers seem to indicate private institutions may be responding to a weak economic recovery and students focusing more on value and cost, there also is another factor at play, education experts say.
"Look at the numbers," Longanecker said. "You are seeing a decline in the population of U.S. high school graduates. The pool is shrinking and for some schools, in some areas, it is getting harder and harder to fill incoming classes."
In fact, the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education released its annual "Knocking at the College Door: Projections of High School Graduates" analysis earlier this year and surmised national high school graduate numbers peaked at 3.4 million in 2010-11 -- after 15 years of growth -- and began a decline that will not stabilize until 2013-14 at 3.2 million to 3.3 million graduates. The next period of significant growth is not projected to begin until 2020-21, according to the study.
Hall said about 10 of the 20 undergraduate private colleges he advises on pricing still have empty seats for their freshman class this coming fall. "The pool of traditional college-bound students has shrunk -- and that will be the reality for a while," Hall said. "For the next decade or so, the only real growth we are expecting to see is among Hispanic families."

How to Compete With the Kids for Jobs
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Any job-seeker of a "certain age," as the saying goes, knows how difficult it is to land a quality job, especially after being laid off and lacking current job experience to leverage when seeking a new position.
According to The Wall Street Journal , about 3.5 million U.S. adults between 45 and 64 were out of work through mid-2012, with 39% of those numbers unemployed for a year or longer. While the unemployed rate for middle-age workers is about half of their 20-something counterparts, it's much harder for a 50-year-old to land a good-paying job with benefits than a younger, cheaper and -- fair or unfair -- potentially more energetic 25-year-old.
Sure, experience counts for a great deal with hiring managers, and experience for middle-aged workers is a great card to play when talking to a potential employer about a new job.
But there are other cards up the sleeves of the 45-64 set that are either are ignored, forgotten or unrealized. And not playing them can really cost an older worker in a highly competitive job market.
So says Harris Allied , a New York City-based executive recruiting firm. Managing Director Kathy Harris has some definite ideas on how older workers can use their experience and savvy to land a great job, and it all starts with managing expectations.
"These job-seekers need to be ready to compromise on their salary requirements as well as the industry they want to work in. And they should consider both consulting arrangements and full-time employment," Harris says.
Middle-aged job-seekers need to make a compelling case to employers, and that's where a "career-narrative" can be a game changer.
"Job-seekers with some 20 or 30 years' experience bring a lot to the table in terms of workplace savvy and real-world expertise," Harris says, "but they need to be able to tell that story in a compelling way. Having a two- or three-page resume is not enough. They need to develop a career narrative from beginning to end to tell their career story. I recommend these job-seekers rewrite their resume from scratch rather than merely updating it. This way you can take a more holistic look at all the skills and expertise you bring to the table and tell the story in a more streamlined fashion."
The multipage resume is another nonstarter, Harris says. That's particularly so if the resume is weighted toward jobs and career achievements that are a decade or two old. It's also a good idea to get a professional to review your resume and suggest improvements.
"Make sure you give the reader a good picture of the trajectory of your career. Lastly, even though resumes are submitted online these days, appearance matters. The best move would be to consult with a recruiter who can offer you guidance on how your resume reads and looks to potential employers," Harris says.

2013 Virtualization Management Survey
We revamped our InformationWeek 2013 Virtualization Management Survey to reflect some new realities: This technology is extending from servers to applications, storage and the network itself. Exploits targeting the hypervisor are the real deal. And automated service delivery is the future — unless you want to find yourself employed managing cloud providers instead of doing IT in house.
Once you've taken the principles of virtualization and instilled them into every layer of the stack, you must make everything work together, seamlessly, in a way that you can trust, reproduce and deliver with a high degree of accuracy. A tall order, even for companies like VMware that have a habit of reinventing the market, and one made even more difficult by the fragmentation of the hypervisor landscape.
And, while the overall vision may be grand and sweeping, there is a dark lining in this silver cloud. Security has become a major concern at the hypervisor level. Vulnerabilities aimed at systems that were previously (albeit erroneously) considered invulnerable have begun to crop up with some regularity; hopefully that's prompting hard thinking about how security concerns are assessed and remediated as we move into the hypervisor-enabled service-oriented IT future.

Rail Ale Trains on West Somerset Railway revives golden age of ale by rail.
(08/06/2011 @ 17:35:00)
One of the staple traffics carried by the Railways of Britain down the years has been beer from breweries both large and small. When the Midland Railway built its St Pancras station in London a key part of the planning was to maximise the cellar space available for the storage of the huge number of beer casks that the MR carried from the breweries of Burton-on-Trent to the capital. In the Mendip hills, the Oakhill brewery built its own narrow gauge line to the Somerset and Dorset line at Binegar. The breweries also received raw materials such as hops, yeast and coal by rail.
On the Taunton to Minehead branch line there was a local brewery in the village of Stogumber, which traded from around 1840 until 1910. The beers obtained a national reputation for their purity and the company also produced soft drinks. The brewery site became derelict and was demolished in the 1970s although an advertising poster from the Stogumber Brewery can still be seen in the White Horse Inn in the village.
The brewery used the Minehead branch as one of its links to the pubs it served and on Friday June 10th one of the present day award-winning independent breweries of Somerset will be reviving the tradition by loading some of its ales at Stogumber for journeys to pubs at Bishops Lydeard and Minehead.
The beer will be from the Quantock Brewery, which has been established in Wellington since December 2007. Quantocks ales are brewed using pure ingredients of grain, whole hop cones, yeast and water without other additives, giving drinkers the chance to enjoy the natural flavours of the drink. The beers are served in traditional cask-conditioned form in pubs in Somerset and Devon although they have been served successfully in places as far apart as Scotland and the Isle of Wight.
The pubs, which will be receiving their deliveries from the West Somerset Railway, are traditional local the "Bird in Hand in Bishops Lydeard and award-winning family pub the "Hairy Dog in Minehead. June 10th is the first day of the WSRs Mixed Traction Weekend. The beers will be loaded on to 11.31 train to Minehead and the 12.03 to Bishops Lydeard, being expected to be delivered to the "Hairy Dog at around midday and the "Bird in Hand around 1.00 p.m. Quantock Brewery beer will be available in both pubs, to quench the thirst of the traveller.
WSR General Manager commented:- "We are pleased to be able to combine Ale by Rail Day with the start of one of own special weekends and later in the year we will expect to have Quantock Beers on sale at Minehead Railway Station during the September Real Ale festival.

I got a call from a hedge fund manager in New York this morning. I knew him in California and for the purposes of this post I should mention that he is a Negro. That's what he calls himself. If you ask him, he'll tell you that he is a Negro. Good enough for Martin Luther King. Good enough for him. He wants me to sue the United States Department of Commerce about the decision the census is making that the term "Negro" will no longer be used. As this gentleman points out, he's not an African American, he's an American whose family has been here for nearly 200 years. He's not black, he'll tell you, "more like a latte."� Scotch Irish, slave background, Cherokee. But he says, he has negroid features, so that's what people see.� What he wants to know is, who the hell is the Department of the Commerce to pick labels, and he may be willing to pay me to ask that question in federal court. What's wrong, he wants to know, with letting people self identify, and if the Department of Commerce wants to make up statistics later, that's fine too. While we're add it, his wife is from San Francisco and her family was there for 140 years, so she'll be damned if she's going to be called an Asian American or Chinese, considering that she has a Mexican grandfather, a white grandmother and a hoard of inuit cousins, and what do you do with there three kids that are a mix of all this?According to the Commerce Department guidelines, they are African American. Over my dead body, says my client. One drop of blood? So says the United States government.
The call from him was coming as I was fuming about something else–two books that explain that since Jews are all rich and svelte and beautiful, the best way to be rich and svelte and beautiful is to do what the Jews do. One book is called, I think, the Money Code, and it explains why Jews are all bankers and all rich and how you be the same, and the other is a book that is essentially a Hassidic Diet–better living through keeping kosher. You see, since Jews can't eat dairy products within six hours of eating meat, and since most fattening foods are often dairy based, if you eat like� Jew you'll avoid high calorie food. Both books, by the way, are published by major publishers, and I guess neither of these books would want to address the fact that many Orthodox Jews are obese because they are poor and don't eat well. Maybe they aren't really Jewish!
Last week, several students at a college basketball game were disciplined for wearing hoods to a game that looked like KKK costumes. Offended people.
It seems like we are constantly raising this issue on this blog, but this keeps coming up. Racism is, fundamentally, a thought crime-thinking that people are different because they look different or act differently, and a belief that those differences create a superiority/inferiority relationship. The problem, as with most things, is when the idea comes out of the head and ends up on the law books. I don't think that anyone would seriously argue that equal protection under the law is a good basis for fighting racist laws. But then we keep coming to the idea that increasingly it is right for the courts to protect us not from bad laws, but to allow low level administrators to protect us from hurt feelings. So the government gets to define your color, and if someone does something that offends your racial sensibilities the government will put an end to it immediately. Wearing a white hood to a basketball game is not racist. Writing books that discuss how jews are all rich and beautiful is racist. Defining a person by the color of his skin is racist.
I'm offended by all three stories. Publishers can print racists books, but it is up to us as people to reject the racism.� We need to accept what people wear, and if it offends you, examine your own feelings. But when the government tells my client and his wife and their children what color they are, then we'll see if the Court agrees that government has gone too far.

Conservation Biology
Biodiversity loss has been identified as one of the great challenges of our time. The potential demise of one-fourth or more of the Earthí¢â'¬â"¢s species before the end of this century represents an irreversible loss of nature and may significantly undermine the sustainable use of natureí¢â'¬â"¢s services. The continuing expansion of populations and economies and the urgent need to improve human well-being also place increasing pressures on biological diversity.
The need for new understanding and novel approaches to the management of wildlands and protected areas has never been greater. Scientists and practitioners within the field of Conservation Biology need specialized knowledge of their sub-discipline -- forest management, endangered species policy or wildlife ecology, for example. They also need the integrative perspective of a broadly educated scholar-practitioner who is equipped to understand interactions between natural systems and human influences. This field of study combines basic knowledge from the ecological sciences and other disciplines to drive environmental problem solving.
í¢â'¬Å"There is a pressing need for a fundamental reconciliation between the conservation of natural resources and their utilization to meet human needs for food, water, shelter and recreation,í¢â'¬ says Professor Bobbi S. Low, coordinator of the Conservation Biology field of study.
What you will study
The curriculum in Conservation Biology focuses on issues related to resource conservation and ecosystem management and creates an interdisciplinary learning environment that includes ecosystem science, social science, policy, environmental design and quantitative analysis. Coursework examines the past and present causes of species extinction and biodiversity loss, as well as the biological principles central to species conservation and sustainable ecosystem management.
As a student, you will develop quantitative and analytical skills in biometrics, economics and computer applications and gain first-hand experience through internships with government agencies and private organizations. You also will learn practical applications, ranging from the design and identification of preserves to the effective management of developed landscapes and the recovery of degraded ecosystems in developed and developing countries.
Your curriculum will educate and train you to become a scientist and practitioner within the field of Conservation Biology, where you will learn to incorporate the recognition that sustainability depends as much on managing people as on managing ecosystems.
Launching your career
The Conservation Biology field of study was developed to address the complex mix of issues related to the conservation of biodiversity and the management of ecosystems. This field of study can lead to a governmental career as a fish and wildlife biologist, remote-sensing specialist, environmental manager or wetlands ecologist. Private-sector occupational options include environmental biologist or fisheries biologist. In addition, graduates also may consider working in the nonprofit sector, where ecologists, urban foresters and habitat-restoration specialists are needed, or in academia, where research and teaching positions are well within reach.

Operational Excellence
As consumer mobile devices become more manageable--and internal IT budgets suffer--companies see the sense in allowing employees to access corporate resources using their own smartphones and tablets. But that means the IT department must be able to manage the operations of these devices, and the underlying infrastructure must be at an optimal level.
Is your organization prepared? Not unless your wireless network infrastructure has defined service-level agreements that have been agreed to by business stakeholders. You also need scheduled reporting of availability, performance, compliance, security and inventory. Are mobile device management systems in place to provision and support devices? Can you manage diversity?
If the answer to any of these is "no," then you have work to do. Fortunately, vendors are lining up to help IT operations pros manage mobility. (S3921111)

Remembering these words from Bobby McFerrin today as I contemplate our work at On Being and listen to his communal sharing of "Ave Maria" at the Montreal Jazz Festival several years ago:
"This is what I want everyone to experience at the end of my concert is everyone has this sense of rejoicing. I don't want them to be blown away by what I do, I want them to have this sense of real, real joy from the depths of their being. Because I think when you take them to that place, then you open up a place where grace can come in."

How to Groom a Cat- Bathing & Brushing
The general condition of your cat's skin and coat are good indicators of its health. A healthy coat should be shiny and smooth and healthy skin should be supple and clear. Although health and nutrition influence the luster and texture of your cat's coat, regular grooming and skin care will help keep your cat's coat clean and free of tangles, no matter what type of hair coat he or she has.
All cats benefit from regular brushing to remove loose hairs and dead skin cells. Brushing helps keep the coat free of dirt, debris, and to distribute natural skin oils along the hair shafts. Cats with long coats require daily brushing to keep their hair from becoming tangled or matted. Cats with short hair coats may require less frequent brushing.
Grooming a cat daily will cut down on the amount of hair that a cat swallows during the course of self- grooming with its tongue, thus helping to reduce the number of hairballs your cat may develop. In addition to benefiting your cat, daily brushing will cut down dramatically on the amount of loose hair and pet dander floating around the home.
For some people with mild cat allergies, daily brushing may even reduce the amount of airborne allergens enough that they can share their home with a cat.
Most healthy adult cats are fastidious groomers and will rarely require a cat bath. Most cats have a very specific self-grooming routine and perform this after every meal and often several times during the day. If you have an older cat or one with arthritis or other medical conditions you may need to get tips on how to wash a cat or getting the right type of cat grooming tools to help your cat keep up its basic grooming.
If you do choose to groom your pet at home, VCA veterinarians recommend Vethical™ (http://vethical.com/cats.html) products. The exclusive line of soap-free shampoos and dermalogic treatments have been specially formulated to match your cat's skin condition. Your pet with enjoy a therapeutic solution that not only cleans, but also soothes, protects and helps maintain her skin health.
Even if you groom your cat at home, it may require routine or occasional trips to a professional groomer. Contact us to inquire about our grooming services.

Skip to comments.Jeb Bush: I Would Govern Like LBJ as President
Posted on 02/16/2013 7:09:33 AM PST by JohnPDuncan
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said he would strive to be like Lyndon Johnson, the Democrat famous for expanding the U.S. welfare state through the "Great Society," if he were elected president.
According to the Miami Herald, Bush made those comments Wednesday night in San Antonio, Florida at Saint Leo University, while speaking about education, immigration, and energy policy.
Bush did not address Johnson's Great Society and War on Poverty programs, about which Ronald Reagan once famously quipped, "We had a war on poverty, and poverty won."
Instead, he was referencing Johnson's mastery of the so-called sausage-making process in Congress.
He vowed to approach the presidency as "master of the Senate," as biographer Robert Caro described Johnson.
He went and he cajoled, he begged, he threatened, he loved, he hugged, he did what leaders do, which is they personally get engaged to make something happen, Bush said of Johnson. Bush cited Caro's latest book about Johnson, The Passage of Power, which covers the first part of Johnson's presidency.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Somebody buy him a Lil President playset and maybe he'll leave us alone.
2016 is not something to look forward to.
This is why a Republican won't be seeing the inside of the Oval Office for a long time.
Get a real job, Jeb. Of the countless things this country needs, another LBJ is definitely not one of them.
I am starting to guess Sarah Palin is on the sidelines deciding whether to run as an independent or not.
Guessing at the moment, she is tending toward the independent, more than the not, at this point.
Tea Party 2016.
It helps when you have a solid obedient majority in both houses. Johnson didn't do it alone. Jebbie is a naive fool.
Reason #1 to throw that schmuck into a bottomless, based upon the TRILLIONS of damage and societal horror LBJ inflicted on America, and still continues to be felt, today
MOD: Can you edit my title please I messed it up a bit
Like I needed another reason not to vote for this guy
Actually, instead of putting a "J" at the beginning, putting another "b" at the end would be nice: "ebb" Bush. Has a certain lovely ring to it...
Screw all RINOs.
Jen is slime.
Only a Bush could think of Lyndon Johnson in a good light.
One of the worst Presidents ever, and a horrible person to boot.
What a d#ckhead!
Two Bushes were enough.
Oops, that's "Jeb is slime."
Will govern like this:
Guessing at the moment, she is tending toward the independent, more than the not, at this point.
Tea Party 2016.
If about 15-30% of the sitting Congressmen would agree to switch to the new party then the old GOP could be supplanted like the Wigs were supplanted. But Id hate to have a real conservative doing a Ralph Nader or Ross Perot on us thus leaving a clear field for Hillary, or, God-forbid, Joe Biden. I tend to believe that Sarah would not do that to the country.
I know many people sat out the last election because Mitt was a socialist. But at least he was an American socialist. I held my nose and filled in the circle next to his name.
So good old Jeb says he would govern like LBJ. Has he not noticed that we already have another dictator in the White House? Or does he mean he would also govern from a toilet seat?
The establishment GOP still do not get it.
Good Gravy; this Bushie has lost his marbles.
In my lifetime the presidents I've despised, or cared little for are:
1. The current occupier of the White Hut (Most evil of all)
2. The co-presidents Klinton (Second and third most evil)
3. Jimmy (the geek) Carter (Most stupid)
4. Lyndon Bird (Most lecherous and founder of Great Society)
5. Gerald (What can be said)
6. Nixon (Had a mental problem)
7. Kennedy (Had a serious sex problem that may have gotten him killed and besides I detested his entire family. Even Macaroni.)
8. FDR (Who volunteered, I wonder, to push his wheelchair up the ramp to hell?)
9. Woodrow Wilson (Princeton was poor training for this egghead with a vision towards world government and, of course, responsibility for the income tax and shoving us into Europe's conflict.)
In this century the most admirable, or least detested presidents were:
1. Ronald Wilson Reagan
2. Dwight David Eisenhower (My commander-in-chief)
3. Harry S (for nothing) Truman (whose main fault was that he'd never admit having an administration that had far too many communists poluting it.)
4. Calvin Coolidge (A much forgotten great president)
Ironically, America's greatest president was its FIRST PRESIDENT!
Now wonder the left loves eb Bush!!!!
That settles it for me. He ain't "Mah fello' Amurican."
Yup, the Bushes just don't get it. Who needs another government program ("Great Society" in this case) that only weakens our nation and our economy?
I'm bookmarking this for friends of mine who think that anything with an "R" after its name is wonderful, and who get ticked off with me for criticizing liberal GOP-E traitors.
Oops. Forgot Bush's brother. I'd just as soon forget him. Even his name escapes me now.
Oh. I do have something good to say about W: he wasn't Bronco Bama.
Jeb Bush will be pushed down our throats in the very same manner that Romney, McCain and Dole were, with the very same disastrous results.
"It's his turn" will be the mantra of the RINO Brigade.
Time to nip this in the bud is NOW.
Harding was my favorite
LBJ was a corrupt gangster.
Yes, he was. He was a ruthless, nasty SOB.
Jeb could always run as a Democrat. He would fit right in.
Jeb sets his sights low enough so he wouldn't have to work up a sweat to meet his objective.
In my book LBJ is one of the absolute worst presidents ever.
In terms of damage done to the USA and American citizens he is one of 3 worse, right along with Lincoln and FDR.
I held my nose for Mitt, but I'm done. If it's Jeb or Christie vs a muzzie cleric or Eric Holder himself I will still vote 3rd party. I will never vote for a RINO again.
The GOP had better get wise and get on board with the Tea Party or get left behind.
LOL I will! I will!
I'm encouraging Tea Party minded people to look long and hard at Calvin Coolidge and adopt him as our political "patron Saint".
Lincoln easily #1, 700,000 dead American's. Wouldn't find a peaceful way to resolve conflict.
But public schools and so called scholars consider him the greatest ever president. Mainly because he ruled like a dictator.
LIke a lot of VN Vets...I traveled a long way to pee on LBJ's grave in Johnston TX.
His list of dubious achievements is long and sordid. His wife wasn't any better.
May they continue to rot in hell..where all lying, cheating, thieving politicians go.
You might have an idea there...
If conservatives don't get pro active within the party we most certainly will end up with another RINO. Now is the time to join your local Republican party and start taking it back from the GOPe.
He vowed to approach the presidency as "master of the Senate,"
Is Jeb angling to take Biden's job? Reads as if Zero's insurance policy is being cancelled.
I certainly won't be doing that for "ebb".
A lot of people are giving up on the party. I don't blame them but they need to stick with it and take it over at the state and county level and produce real leaders.
I could be wrong, but I think Jeb is telling y'all why he will not run; you will not like it, so whoever is pestering him to run can stop.
I do not think he is offering to run like LBJ.
The very idea of Jeb Bush in that office is obscene.
Still waiting for the photo of the hayseed from Green Acres...
There is a reason Reagan idolized Coolidge. The man made guys like Washington and Jefferson look like comparatively big spenders.
Just how old are you if Wilson and FDR are among the Presidents in your lifetime? Are you over 100?

Product Spotlight & Giveaway: Jan Marini SPF 30 Sunblock
I'm back with another product spotlight! About a month ago, I brought Jan Marini's Body Block sunscreen with me on my 4th of July trip to Savannah. I've been pretty careful with my skin these days and that includes protecting my entire body from sun damage.
I already love Jan Marini's Face Protectant, see review here, so I wanted to see how the body version held up.
Jan Marini's Body Block SPF30 is a waterproof, broad sprectrum sunscreen. Over time, this product is meant to prevent skin aging from sun exposure.
***Picture Credit to www.JanMarini.com
First off, you saw my last review on the Bioglycolic Resurfacing body scrub. The Body Block is meant to be used right after. The scrub preps the skin. Like many sunscreens, you're supposed to apply this prior to sun exposure. I smoothed some on in my hotel room before I hit the pool and beach. The first thing I noticed was the yummy scent - mmm citrus, sugar and coconuts. Also, this sunscreen applies super smooth! Most sunscreens are really thick, leaving white streaks that require extra rubbing in. The Body Block melted right into my skin, cutting the application time in half.
I wore this to the beach and pool and experienced no redness or irritation. This contains SPF30, so it still allowed me to become nice and bronzey without turning bright red. Throughout the day I would reapply this to make sure I stayed protected.
-smells yummy
-amazing texture, blends right in
-extremely hydrating - the moisture component is a plus
-oil-free and dries matte - doesn't clog pores and won't spur body acne
-spf 30 might not be enough for some folks
-I wish the bottle was jumbo size!
This product is definitely staying in my beach bag. I've never had a body sunscreen that blended so well into my skin before - it's a keeper!
Giveaway Alert Giveaway Alert Giveaway Alert Giveaway Alert !!!
Jan Marini is giving one of you lovely ladies/gents a complimentary Body Block SPF30! Just in time to use to catch the last rays of the summer and continue protecting you all year round.
Just leave a comment telling me why you want to win and I'll announce a winner tomorrow. Good luck!

I actually want to win this for my friend and not myself. My friend, Samantha, was diagnosed with a life threatening cancer. It was skin cancer. She had to get a small chunk out of her face and she has a heart-shaped scar there now. Sam can never tan or be in the sun anymore. She always has to wear sunblock everywhere she goes. I think this would be good for her to try. Plus, we live in Texas and it's soooooo hot here!

I would love to win this sunscreen. I am of Irish descent (fair sensitive skin, freckles, auburn hair and green eyes) so anything that can prevent more freckles to appear is good and I am still trying to find a good body sunscreen that doesn't leave me oily considering I never go outside without sun protection. Just a FYI for my face I love Coopertone Nutra-Shield Dual Defense Faces SPF 70 :) it doesn't leave a greasy film on my skin or white residue and I can use it under my makeup everyday. ;) I paid 13$ for mine. Not too bad. Thanks for a chance at trying this product out!

I dont' have any Jan Marini products yet, heard a lot of good things. Suncreen is always a great thing to have. Thanks.

i would like to win because i am fair skinned and i am always looking for great sun protection products.

Oooo, nice product review!
I would love to win this because since I have been in my teenage years, I have been on the constant look-out for a sunblock that has high protection and yet is wearable enough that it does not irritate or aggravate my sensitive skin.
It's SO, SO important to start sun protection at a young age because I actually know a girl friend of mine that had a pre-cancerous mole that she had to get removed/cut-off in a surgery. It's so SCARY to know that it really can affect anyone at any given age if the right steps aren't taken to protect the skin! :(

I want to win this sunblock because your review sounds great and I have not found a sunblock that I really like. I tan very easily, and no sunscreen seems to help! So my arms look like a farmers tan! Please help me out! After the tan fades I am left with tons of freckles... I think the sun wants to torture me... haha thanks for the opportunity!

I want to win this because living in the tropics is sooo hard! Like me in the Philippines. The sun can be real harsh :(

i would like to win because i actually get sunburn in the shade!!! and mind you i'm filipino/samoan so i actually should not be having those problems lol and i always seem to break out with sunscreen so i'm damned if i do and i'm damned if i don't :-/

Following your blog has really been the reason why i've started to take more care of my skin, because I wasn't before. Im only 24, but it's all about "age prevention" right?! lol Anyways, I've been wanting to try Jan Marini stuff for awhile now because of your reviews....so if i won, that would be awesome!!
- August 5, 2009 at 11:07 AM
- Ida said...
I'd like to win because I've been on the search for a sunblock that is hydrating yet has a matte finish,and still have not found one that I liked enough. I also live in the Philippines where it stays hot all year round- sunblock is mandatory here! :)
- August 5, 2009 at 11:22 AM
- Kiki Xiong said...
I'd love to win this because my skin is very sensitive and it really needs sunblock. I don't get tanned, I get burnt. So yeahhh.
- August 5, 2009 at 11:52 AM
- Fiona said...
I would love to win this sunscreen because it seems like so far every sunscreen I have used has clogged my pores. It's such a terrible thing to be testing stuff on your own face to see if it would work because if it doesn't work, you are left with several bumps on the face for a few days/weeks. Basically low end to high end sunscreens I have tried, and each have clogged my pores or caused me to have skin irritation. I'm still looking or the HG and would love to try this in hopes that it will be. Thanks for making this contest.

I would love to try this b/c JM products are known to be great. I use the face sunblock and love it. Hey, never too young to go anti-aging.
- August 5, 2009 at 11:56 AM

oooh! my skin is sensitive and is easily burnt under the sun, so sunblock is a MUST for me! I definitely want to try this product :)
- August 5, 2009 at 12:08 PM
- T.R. said...
Well basically we all need sunscreen. I'm looking for a new one myself. I can't even go out without it, according to my doctor. So I would love to try this product to see how it compares to another sunscreen I've been eying. Thanks.

I would love to win because I have used many types of sunblock; however, it seems most clog my pores and I get all oily.

I would love to win this. Last week i had an operation from my nose and i must keep myself from sun. I mean i should protect myself against sun. That would be great if i win this. Thanks for the giveaway.

- Grace said...
I would love to win this sunscreen because I know Jan Marini makes really quality products. I am outside quite often and I just want to protect my face and keep it looking youthful. I think this would work well for me because it is gentle enough for my sensitive skin and it won't feel so thick and greasy like the other brands I have tried. I currently have Shiseido and it works nicely but it is pretty expensive.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity

- Dao said...
I've been reading your blog for a long time but do not comment as much. I want to win this sunscreen because I've never tried high-end sunscreens before. Most of the sunscreens I use are from the drugstore and I have a hard time finding one that does not irritate my skin.
- August 5, 2009 at 1:26 PM
- cleung341 said...
I want to win this because I think sunblock is the best arsenal on my skin care regimen. I really like trying different sunscreens and I never leave the house without it.
- August 5, 2009 at 1:35 PM
- xLovelyMakeupx said...
I would like to win this because i have light skin that tans and burns real easily. When I wear sunblock I have to apply it over and over and again and again because it just comes off when i get in the water or it burns off =]
Another thing is the smell of these products that are out there, it smells like im rubbing melted plastic on my body, makes me not even want to go out in the sun, just so that i dont have to smell it. It would truly make me happy and grateful if i got to receive this gift from you and Jan Marini. So i hope you get to enjoy all the comments and find the person who truly will enjoy this, even if it isnt me. Thanks.

I was actually searching for a new sunblock online before I saw that you were posting a giveaway. I haven't been wearing that much sun protection especially on my face and I'm suddenly beginning the see the consequences of not protecting my skin as much as I should. So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for me to try something different. Thanks! (:
- August 5, 2009 at 2:09 PM
- ChonChon said...
i am always looking for new sunscreens, I have a couple, but dont like the consistency so i tend to skip it, which is really bad for my skin!! Hopefully this product will change my views on sunscreen! ;D Plus since im in the sun a lot in sunny san diego, CA, i wanna go out to the beach and feel protected! thanks for this giveawayy!
- August 5, 2009 at 2:26 PM

I want win because there is no such thing as "black don't crack"! Hello ....load on the SPF people! besides sun damage and aging who wants skin cancer...not moi!
- August 5, 2009 at 2:42 PM
- Nina said...
I want to win this because I'd like to give this to my brother and sister who both go to college in a very hot and sunny place. I think the sunblock they're using isn't good enough to protect them all day so I'd like to give this to them so they would be better protected.
- August 5, 2009 at 2:51 PM
- nai nai said...
i wear sunblock spf55 on my face everyday! unfortunately i'm not so good with my body. lol.

- Flow said...
Hey ren-ren, it would be nice to have the sunblock because it helps protect against getting wrinkles and prevents from getting cancer. Its important that we take care of our skin now, so that we can prevent from gaining these risks in the future as we age. Thanks for doing this give away ren ren!

hey girl this is christine
my email is email@example.com
i want to win because first i had never tried jan marini, so this would be a great way for me to try their products. plus my skin is very sensitive and i have seborrheic dermatitis. unforunately many sunscreens clog and cause to get bumps and they are itchy and they flake. i live in orange county, california. it's so hot where i'm living. it's so hot that my relative had a heat stroke. so using this sunblock will help me. *i have a family history of skin cancer in my dad's side. so i'm very cautious of putting on sunscreen, even if i go to do my errands for a few minutes, i still put on sunscreen. all my life i have never put on sunscreen till i turned 21. i was pretty ignornant and lazy about it, but now i'm very aware of the hazards of the sun and its uv rays on our skin. i see so many cases of these in my hospital where i work at as a student nurse.

Hey!! :) I would love to try this formula, since I have many different brands and formulas and never found the one for me. I really think it's important to put on good sunscreen, and wear spf 70 on my tattoos, and usually stick to spf 30 for the rest. I can't understand how people wear only spf 4 or 8!! :)

Hey girl, I would love to win this product because I've been looking for a sunscreen that will not irritate my skin. I've used Clinique's one and the next day I had red lil bumps all over my face. I've also used nuetrogena and it was too greasy. This sounds like the perfect sun block for face and body. However, Jan Marini products are a lil bit pricey and winning this would be absolutely amazing....
Thanks for the opportunity to win. xoxoxo

Sunblocks generally require a bit of time to rub into your skin and they don't smell that nice. I would love to try out this product. Thanks for the giveaway!

Ren I love your blog. You were the first makeup blogger that I saw on Youtube. And I loved it. I really need sunblock because honestly I don't want to have wrinkles or get skin cancer.. yeah haha.
So Hopefully you'll pick Moi! :P

I would really love to win this for my sister because I think this product might actually work for her. She was diagnosed with Lupus almost a year ago and she can not be out in the sun for a prolonged period of time with out wearing a sunscreen with an spf of 30 or higher. She hasn't been able to find a sunscreen that she likes wearing because everything that she has tried is either to harsh for her sensitive skin or to greasy and leaves her with body acne. Since she hates wearing greasy sunscreen she just avoids being in the sun for a long period of time. This sounds like the perfect sunscreen for her! I am really excited that you reviewed this because regardless if I win I am still going to buy her a bottle so she can try. Thanks for the great review Ren :)

i would like to win because i think i would actually use this product to my advantage! I have a few sunspots on my face already and its a constant reminder of my need to wear sunblock. I would like to win this product because i think i would benefit from it!

- cindycs said...
i would love to win because im really unsure about the right sunscreen for me and i would love to give this one a try, it seems to work quite well for your skin and i myself have very sensitive skin that it sometimes hinders me from going outside. with the right protection, i know it would be alot easier for me
- August 6, 2009 at 1:06 AM
- Angela said...
I am a bit on the fair side and although I looove looking tan, it is not the best for my skin. Not only can it cause skin cancer but sometimes I peel horribly.
From your review it seems to be a great product. Even if I don't win I might still buy it to give it a try!
- August 6, 2009 at 3:03 AM

Hey Ren,
Thanks for this giveaway!
I want to win this sun block because I believe that protecting one's skin from the sun is very important. More people need to be aware that the sun is no joke...it's never too late to start preventing the sun from doing any damage to the skin.

I just wanted to take a minute now that I am home to tell you how much we enjoyed the park and all the activities you helped me set up. The sea lion swim was amazing and the show following was really enjoyable. The dolphin swim didn't work out for all of us but we are planning to do the Disney cruise again one day and we will be back for sure. The park is very beautiful and we could not do it all in one day. Look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks Once again!

Hi Sherri, thank you so much for finalizing our Dolphin Royal Swim and changing the time slot as you suggested. It makes more sense and I really appreciate your input. I will definitely pass your name forward for future travelers. Actually my daughter and her husband gave me your name since they were there last year at your PalMar SMALL Beach Club. Nothing but praise for you. Thanks again, if we get a chance we will try to stop by and say hi. Rich C

Thanks again!

First of all, I want to say thank you so much for sharing your wonderful island with my family. Secondly, we did the Royal Dolphin Swim with Dorie and Belle, and it was the most AWESOME time of our lives. One lady in our session cried at the end, saying this was the greatest thing that she has ever done. The Park was beautiful, and everyone was very helpful. Thank you again for a wonderful time.
D. Smith ~ USA
Just wanted to say what a great experience we had on our Dolphin Excursion booked thru Cozumel Insider! The customer service/emails from Martin answering all our questions were extremely helpful! We were able to do more interactions with the dolphins and manatee that other groups were not able to do since they booked thru the cruise lines. The price was a huge savings also! T hanks so much for providing great service and a great experience!

I think he wants to be considered a "players' coach." Whatever that means. If you look back at the past 6 yrs or so, he has recruited a lot of one-and-doners. In Matta's mind, I suppose, you have to coddle those guys and give them their offensive freedom. In his mind, I suppose, he believes a hard-line, driving coach can't recruit one-and-done athletes, because they just don't want to play for that kind of coach. They want to play for someone just like their AAU coach. I am not saying that excuses his allowance of soft basketball behavior. I think his coaching style (also a byproduct of this post) is a lack of accountability on the players' behalf. Poor shot selection. Lack of defensive consistency.
I've seen more than a couple coaches sell their coaching souls for a little better talent.

As NHL's latest lockout lingers on, a basement hockey league goes overseas
Habits and even loyalties can change during an NHL lockout, and that's especially possible during the 2012 edition, as fans sour on a league that has played the work stoppage card four times since 1992. As the NHL owners and players squabble, the hockey-starved can find games elsewhere, from college to the minors or even overseas, where many NHL players have gone in search of playing time and a paycheck.
Monday afternoon, I showed my four-year old, hockey-crazy son an online stream of Washington Capitals stars Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom playing together in the KHL for Dynamo Moscow against former Caps goaltender Semyon Varlamov and his team, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.
My son doesn't fully understand the NHL lockout, but he knows it's hockey season here in North America and that his favorite team isn't playing until the owners and the players come to a new agreement. He had a few questions as I showed him Ovechkin and Backstrom on the ice together, and he was excited to see some hockey.
As I watched more of the game, my son went into the other room, grabbed his gloves and stick, and started playing a game of basement hockey as he does almost every day—except this time the two teams involved were from the KHL. He ran into the room every couple of minutes with game updates and questions, such as how to say "Varlamov's team's name again," and eventually Ovechkin scored in a shootout to give Moscow a big victory in our downstairs arena.
Should the lockout go much longer, my family and I will likely seek out some live, non-NHL hockey to fill the void left by the absence of Caps games at Verizon Center. Maybe it will be an AHL or ECHL game or some college hockey. Whatever it is, I can't help but wonder what will happen with younger fans like my son if the NHL cancels most or all of the 2012-13 season.
I already know that I, like some other fans I've spoken with, are frustrated enough by the NHL and NHLPA's inability to get a deal done that we won't be rushing to the games as soon as they start-up again. Sooner or later though, I'll get the urge to venture back into an NHL arena. I imagine it could be requests from my kids to go to Caps games again that first lead me back to Commissioner Gary Bettman's league. But what if by the time the NHL resumes games, their favorite team is the Hershey Bears or someone else?
If the owners and players keep their ridiculousness going much longer and younger fans latch onto teams from other leagues, perhaps some customers will be gone for a while; I doubt many will be gone for good. Having waited out a few of these NHL dramas before, I wouldn't mind seeing the league struggle to draw spectators before things return to normal. Considering the two sides had years to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement that could have prevented the cancellation of games and satisfied all parties—including the seemingly forgotten customers—Bettman, the owners and the players deserve it, especially when they've behaved as if they learned little, if anything at all, about fan frustration from the 2004-05 lockout.
For now though, there's a kid in my house who's just thrilled to have some hockey to watch and mimic. It doesn't seem to matter much to him that it's not the NHL brand.
@NHL, take note: Today my 4 year old started pretending to be Dynamo Moscow, not the #Caps, while playing basement hockey. #NHLLockout—
