This product does not contain a sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn. Repeated exposure of unprotected skin while tanning may increase your risk of skin aging, skin cancer, and other harmful effects to the skin even if you do not burn.
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES. Use small amounts and apply on clean skin. Lightly glaze over hands and feet, bending elbows and knees when applying. Allow to dry before going to bed. Can be used on face. Can be applied several nights in a row to achieve desired tan. Apply only once a week, however, you determine if more applications are necessary for deeper tan. If you have dry skin, moisturize before applying tanning product for a longer-lasting smooth tone for your newly tanned skin.
Fake Bake has conquered the quest for a perfect tan that doesn't damage your health. Formulas are preservative-free and contain botanically extracted ingredients, which means no streaking or unpleasant odors and they're gentle enough for sensitive skin. Fake Bake products hydrate and protect your body without clogging pores so you can enjoy a luxurious experience and rich looking tan that's natural and safe.
Great Lotion!!You need to apply this lotion at night right before you go to bed. If it gets on your clothes it will come off! Make sure when you apply that you use gloves, which come with it. When you do put this lotion on your face, it will bring out your blemishes but when you take a shower the next morning it will fade. The lotion has a base in it and it will wash off when you take a shower. This lotion creates a beautiful tan and I went one time a week or so without even applying any because it lasted so long. I love this product and if you apply it right, you will love it too!Sep 13, 2010A

Perfect ProductThis is the second time I have ordered Fake Bake. Love it. I constantly get comments on my brown color. No one knows its fake. I would highly recommend this product.Jun 25, 2010Cara

Love The Color But......When I first started using this I loved the color. Very natural looking and no horrible smell like some tanners I have used. The only problem I have is it washes right off when you take a shower. As soon as I step in the shower it just washes away and I have a very little tan when I get out. I am still using it because I do like the color. It's just a hassle to reapply it every day.May 23, 2010Linda

Don't Understand The NegativityI just finished using this product for the first time. I honestly don't understand where all the negative reviews are coming from, as I found it very easy to apply. The color guide was extremely helpful as you can see exactly where you may have missed, etc. The product insert was very well written and precise, even giving guidance on how to apply to your hands, feet, elbows, and knees so as to avoid creasing there. The smell wasn't even as bad as people were describing, and I have an extremely sensitive nose. Yes there is a bit of a rose-ish chemical-ish smell, but it is no worse than most of the products you would apply before laying in a tanning bed. I can't imagine going out in this product without taking a shower, as some have evidently done, because it does seem to get in your pores, looking a bit gritty. But that was also explained in the documentation, and I am looking forward to seeing my freshly tanned skin tomorrow morning after I shower. If the results are as good as I expect, then I will definitely be buying this product again.May 21, 2010Linda

Definately The Best Sunless Tanner!!After using tannning beds for 3 years I recently noticed a mole on my scalp. I'm only 18, so it scared me even though my dermatologist assured me it was nothing to worry about. Since I work at a salon, I ordered the Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion. I've never used a sunless tanner, so I was a little skeptical. I've used it for the last 2 days and absolutely LOVE it!! I wouldn't recommend anything else. Most sunless tanners are streaky and orange, but Fake Bake isn't streaky, it's super easy to apply, and it's brown not orange! I would recommend having a good base tan, shaving before you apply, use circular motions when appying, allow plenty of time to dry (it doesn't take as long as people say), and if you want some color added to your face: mix your usual facial lotion with Fake Bake.May 9, 2010Samantha

Best Self Tanning Product!I am of French, Irish, and Middle Eastern decent. My skin is a natural olive tone when untanned. I have been going to the tanning salon for a little over a month now and when I want an extra boost to my tan I use Fake Bake. I rub it in really well and the color guide gives me an instant super brown color that I love. After I shower in the morning, I have a nice Bronze tan. After you wake up in the morning with this self tanner on though..im not going to lie..YOU REEK. The smell is very strong but I havent seen anyone else mention it here in the review section? I think its worth it though, even though it can get pretty uncomfortable when you are sleeping and you smell the bad smell. Makes you feel all dirty and grimey. Nevertheless, I have never used a better self tanning product and would purchase again.May 1, 2010Missmk

Excellent Except On The FaceAs long as you exfoliate well before applying and use gloves you will be extremely impressed by this product. I get tons of compliments when I use it. My roommates who still use tanning beds are still surprised when I tell them I used fakebake the past few nights before. Make sure you apply in a circular motion. The only downside is it will show up in your pores on your face. I just bought fakebake for faces and I'm going to try that. If anyone has reviews for another sunless tanner to be used on the face please write!Apr 14, 2010Whitney

Just Do What It Says!!Ok so people who say it washes off and is uneven... You did something wrong!!! Put it on in sections, rub it in completely, and don't shower until then next morning and it's fine! Yes you will see brown in the water but it is only the color guide! Not your tan. I am a natural red head so you can imaging how pale I am. I use it once or twice a week and it looks GREAT!!! I am also a hair dresser so my hands and lower arms get wet countless times every day and my tan will still last about a week. Yes it will fade off within 7 days and you need to reapply but it is still even. Even after 7 days IF YOU do what the bottle tells you to do. If you are not going to read the instructions AND fallow them.., don't use it.Mar 31, 2010Jena

Great Product -no StreaksThis is great. I had never tried a self tanner because I was scared of streak and it getting on my clothes. This is great. Tans gradual. I had a good bas in less than a week. Use the Gloves.Mar 10, 2010Roxy

Excellent!This product is amazing. Does not stain, provides an amazing bronze tan. I get tons of compliments when I use this. The only downside is it does not work well on your face because it tends to show up in your pores. I'm going to buy the spray and see if that works better for faces.Mar 3, 2010Whitney

But this need not discourage you, nor stop you from winning – it hasn't in the cases of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The trick is to avoid letting its limitations frustrate or discourage you and to use it properly in matches.
The most important thing is to realize that you must not ask too much of the backhand. It should be used to keep the ball in play while you're waiting for a forehand or an opponent's error. It isn't a shot to be hit for winners, at least not often. I noticed this as I watched two steady players battle it out at the local tennis club one afternoon. Neither could hit the ball very hard, but one had a terrible backhand on which he used a forehand grip and which he sliced softly and high. On one point they had a seemingly interminable exchange that ended when a ball was mishit and landed on the left side of his court, five feet from the net and shoulder high. It was the sitter of sitters.
He ran forward and, perhaps feeling he was obligated to do something strong with a ball this easy, went for the winner. Of course, the ball flew directly into the back fence, teaching him, I hope, that no ball is easy enough for him to hit a winner off his backhand. As Clint Eastwood said, "A man just has to know his limitations."
Fernando González provided an example of this at the pro level. A great ball-striker, he was the hardest hitter on the tour. But he was also a sporadic performer, able to blow anybody off the court when he was on and lose to anyone when he wasn't. It was only late in his career, when Larry Stefanki began coaching him, that he made the turn and became a consistent winner, reaching the final of the Australian Open in 2004 and achieving a career-high ranking of No. 5.
González had a huge forehand, a fearsome weapon that he could hit for consistent winners against anybody from any position. He could also whale winners with his backhand, but just not as consistently. The genius of Stefanki was realizing that hitting aggressive backhands was a low-percentage play – because it certainly wasn't obvious, González having been consistently ranked among the world's Top 20 for many years. While the old strategy was good, it wasn't good enough to beat the top guys consistently, so Stefanki changed it.
He had González crowd the backhand side of his court, slice virtually every backhand deep cross-court and take no risk with the shot. In this way he became very steady. He was quick on his feet and could keep the ball in the court all afternoon. Eventually, his opponent would either miss, go down the line or let his shot drift over toward the center, where González could move around his backhand and unleash a forehand. Then and only then would González go for his big shot. He was like a boxer, using his backhand as a jab and his forehand for the knockout.
It goes without saying (though I am saying it) that you should position yourself to the left of center and use your forehand as often as possible while giving your opponent as small a target as possible on your vulnerable backhand side. Then hit your forehands inside out (to your opponent's backhand) as deep as you can or maybe even high with topspin. Your objective is to put your good forehand up against your opponent's backhand while hiding your own backhand. Having a weakness isn't a problem as long as you don't let your opponent get to it. If you can volley and hit overheads reasonably well, you can also cover up your backhand by coming to the net. Paul Annacone (who coached Federer and Pete Sampras) used to chip and charge on almost every shot. He wasn't about to match his weak ground strokes up against the strong ones of his opponents.
A final suggestion would be to get instruction and spend extra practice time working to improve your backhand. Federer and Nadal both did this, even after they were world champions. There's no reason you can't improve your backhand, too.

We're reporting this week that the originations volume for the third quarter came to $486 billion, a hot quarter indeed.
That translates to a run rate of nearly $2 trillion a year—which is exactly the "new normal" I've said that could sustain a healthy mortgage industry. So this is good news.
Obviously, the boom markets approaching $4 trillion we saw a decade ago were unsustainable. But the subsequent lean years in the $1.2 trillion to $1.4 trillion range haven't been enough to sustain a healthy business.
Will that run rate continue in this quarter and next year? It could, under certain circumstances. Rates need to remain super low, and the Fed has promised to do that for next year and 2014. The purchase mortgage market needs to perk up, and that's uncertain. The nonconforming market needs to perk up, and that's uncertain.
But the drop in home values seems to have leveled off in many markets (though not all) and the foreclosure glut appears to have crested, though many remain and many "shadow inventory" foreclosures have yet to be put on the market.
The new home market was the worst hurt in the mortgage calamity. A recovery in the builder market would bolster not just mortgages but the national economy, with its magnifier effect of creating construction jobs and business for home retailers.
A $2 trillion year next year would be a great canary in the mineshaft, but auguring good news rather than bad.

Sherrington: After Zack Greinke, not many free agents I'd 'invest heavily' in if I were Rangers
SportsDay columnist Kevin Sherrington answered reader questions during a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights:
Not many free agents out there that can make a "splash" in my opinion. Are the Rangers better equipped to bring in a big name through a trade since they have pieces like Andrus/Kinsler they could ship?
Kevin Sherrington: Greinke would make a nice splash, but, after that, I'm not sure I'd invest heavily unless you're adding pieces for the bench. The Rangers think they need one front-end starter. Yes, that's true. They've got a No. 1 in Darvish, but they need another piece as good or better. As I stated earlier, I'd be for trading for King Felix. Martin Perez is going to have to make a push for the rotation next year, too. I'm not sure Ogando will return to the form he had previously as a starter, and as we saw this year, pitchers get hurt.
Why do the Rangers have this fascination with Zack Greinke? In seasons that matter, he doesn't come through when it matters and we want to give him more than Chan Ho Park money?
Kevin Sherrington: I'm not sure that's accurate. He was great for the Angels down the stretch. It was the rest of the team that cratered. Any way you study Greinke, he's a good one.
Kevin....Seems that some are not sending thoughts/questions today perhaps political exhaustion....So what if any Ranger trades do you hear??
Kevin Sherrington: Not hearing much if any trade talk so far. The winter meetings generally kick that off. I think the Rangers should be open to possibilities. Maybe do something about that logjam in the middle infield. See what Kinsler might bring in a deal.

I might have missed them in the boutique, but do we have any yearly or multi-month calendars? I like to keep a small 6-month calendar on my desk in a 5x7 frame. Last year, I made a 3-month calendar by piecing together each month from a SG template, then doing a lot of re-sizing. It would be wonderful to be able to use a ready-made template this year!

Skip to comments.Scientists Cook Up Sausage From Baby Poop
Posted on 02/27/2014 7:01:11 PM PST by PaulCruz2016
Spanish researchers have developed a gourmet sausage made from baby poop. Yes, baby poop.
More specifically, theyve used a strain of bacteria derived from infant feces.
Writing in the journal Meat Science, the scientists described how they took 43 fecal samples from infant diapers provided by parent and midwife volunteers. Using three strains of probiotic bacteria they isolated from the dirty diapers, the investigators cooked up several batches of pork that resembled a type of fermented Mediterranean sausage known as feut.
Experts said it is not nearly as revolting as it sounds.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
yeah....not into caprophagia
Note to self: If I ever visit Spain, DO NOT order the sausage.
I'll stick to the readily recognizable bacon thanks.
Watching legislation being formed is like watching sausage being made: Not for the faint-hearted.
That metaphor is enhanced by this new discovery.
I understand what they're doing in collecting bacteria for culture but they might be better off keeping quiet about it.
I'm starting to be scared of food.
Only God knows what's in it.
Back to the vegetables for me!
Just be glad you aren't an elephant. Their first solid food is mamma crap.
They don't have the necessary bacteria in their gut to digest the grasses and leaves they eat as adults so they get it from poop.
"Back to the vegetables for me!"
Even vegetables have been genetically altered. Stick to heritage garden seeds.
For someone to even contemplate this, let alone making, displaying, serving and eating the results is seriously sick and needs intensive psychotherapy. Yuck!
Who even comes up with ideas like this?
This goofy ass story stinks.
I am actually sorry I read this ...
Its not as bad as it sounds. They collected the bacteria and made a clean culture from it. Considering where eggs and milk come from this isn't so bad.
Please pass the tofu.
And by "pass" I mean..
I don't pay much attention to "experts" these days.
In this case, how did they become experts? EW!
Wow...there is actually a poop sausage expert job? I doubt I want my kids studying for those types of Obama positions.
You're prob right but seeds are too difficult I will just try to avoid the most obvious krappo chow and hope for the best. I don't want to live Too long anymore anyway, that would only force me to watch the further dismantling of America. I don't do well in police states
"Waiter! This sausage tastes like..."
Well said. Well said indeed!
I always wondered about Chorizo??
I dont want to live Too long anymore anyway...
Look up! Your redemption draws near...
were US tax dollars involved?
Soylent Green is poopoo....
Well, a germ is a germ is a germ. Soil cultures, which would have been more psychologically appealing, ultimately get their food from ickier stuff. It isn't all sunshine and grass. I'd be pretty sure they took pains to be sure their cultures were as pure as practical; they didn't just take a wad of crap and throw it in the sausage mix.
By doing something at least once :P
And how do the germies get into the baby anyhow? Must be pretty common environmental stuff. It's not like every baby has to eat a lump of poo to be healthy.
And ruining their chance for free advertisement time? Those are scientists, not salesmen.
quite possibly
although, there have been many sincere people who believed such event would happen in their generations (before ours)
and we have to see some honest investigative reporting about Obama first:
3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
(2 Thessolonians 2:)
An elephant does what nature intended it to do from the beginning of time. Adult humans have no natural need to eat baby poop or any poop or they'd be doing it since the world began.
Next thing we'll hear, the "experts" will want the contents of people's septic tanks.
I think McDonald's beat them to it.
Why was there an uproar about "pink slime"?
Baby poop bacteria is so much more appealing. /sarc
Who comes up with these ideas?
I've taken my Chill Pills, so I'm ready to see this concept a bit more objectively, a bit more. I suppose creating and replicating then cultivating protein cultures are not new stories. Consider that some folks Not Me, have been using milk to make cheese for thousands of years. Nowadays, some even use human breast milk to make cheese or ice cream, again, Not Me., I respect the resourcefulness of the scientists, but still know such food would be my very last choice.
Monkey poop.
So the homos at ABCDisney News want Americans to eat s**t?
How did they scoop Anderson Pooper on this story?
Where did you find the Barbie photo? Priceless!!!!!!
In Cheezburger all things are possible.
They always seem to get that old commercial wrong. Mikey hated everything... except Life cereal. Or so the commercial goes.
What type and amount of drugs does it take for someone to arrive at such a great idea of cooking pork in baby poop?
Just be glad you arent an elephant. ...etc.
Thanks for an interesting factoid, cc. I think I learn something new everyday here on FR.
Would this be called Soylient Yellow?
McDonalds has been serving this on a biscuit for years.
Where is that faggot Ken to hold her hair?
Well, it is.
Who the heck is an expert in eating baby poop anyway?
Experts? Give me a break.......

The Crossroads of the Aether
I bought several flask back during spring break and I thought I better start making covers for them. This is more or less my prototype, I'm crossing my fingers that it will work out properly and allow someone to slip the cover off when they want to wash out their flask. Still have to stain it.
Steampunk Serenity Leather Flask Cover because I am a huge fan of Firefly.
Views: 135
Yes it will be laced up the back, but I am experimenting with a few types of elastic cording to see if it will keep a tight enough fit, but allow it to be slipped off to wash the flask. If not, I will end up lace stitching it together.
Firefly and Steampunk? Cool!
Hows it attach in the back? Is it laced?

More close matches for Canadians on World Tour beach volleyball circuit
OTTAWA – Canadians Christian Redmann and Richard VanHuizen of Toronto lost two close matches on the FIVB beach volleyball World Tour circuit on Thursday in Myslowice, Poland while Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Kara Zakrzewski of Mississauga, Ont., were one win short of reaching the main draw at the women's stop in Seoul.
In Poland, Redmann and VanHuizen earned a bye to the main draw after a strong season opening performance last weekend in Rome in which they reached the repechage for the round of 16.
On Thursday, the Canadian pair, ninth at the world championships last year and seeded 24th here, lost its opening round match to ninth-seeds Grzegorz Fijalek and Mariusz Prudel of Poland 17-21, 21-13, 15-12 in 58 minutes, the second longest match of the first round.
Redmann and VanHuizen then moved on to the repechage and lost to 25th seeds Karl Jaani and Rivo Vesik of Estonia 21-16, 28-26. The Canadians officially place 25th.
Canada's three other entries were eliminated in qualification. Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., as well as Jesse Lelliott of Kelowna, B.C., and Ben Saxton of Calgary (on photo)won their opening qualifying matches before falling in the second round. National champions Josh Binstock and Matt Zbyszewski, both of Toronto, lost their opening match.
Meanwhile in Seoul, Rodrigue and Zakrzewski advanced to the second and final round of qualifying. They opened with a victory over Satoko Urata and Takemi Nishibori of Japan, ranked seven spots higher, 21-16, 21-18. In the second round however they were upset by Nai Han Kou and Hui Min Chang of Taipei 21-14, 21-15.
Jamie Broder of Victoria and Liz Cordonier of Vancouver and Anastasia Danilova and Kristina Valjas of Toronto lost their opening qualifying matches.
The next stop on the circuit for the men and women is a Grand Slam event June 7-14 in Moscow.

Although reading has many obvious benefits, do you realize it can help you sharpen your conversational skills, too? If you feel anxious about attending a party or social gathering where you don't know anyone, reading can bring you greater confidence.
You can impress people with your ability to carry on an interesting conversation because exposing yourself to new information through reading provides you with a plethora of subjects to talk about.
Try these strategies for using reading to improve your conversational skills:
- Scan the headlines. When reading your morning newspaper, look over the headlines and titles first.
- Whether you get the paper delivered to your house or read the local news online, look over all the article headings. Upon finding a subject that appeals to you, read the article. What do you think about it? Is there anything the article left out? Do you trust the reporting?
- If you believe a topic is interesting and have more questions about it, chances are good that others will, too.
- Plus, trending topics are constantly updated, so expect to learn a little more each day over the life of a trend. If one topic in particular has been covered repeatedly in the news lately, you've discovered a subject that others will probably enjoy discussing.
- But then, you recall that story you read in the newspaper this morning about the new museum your city is going to build. Most people that live in your town will want to know about that.
- Ask people what they think about a particular story or character in the book.
- Others will contribute thoughts, ideas and reactions to the subject matter that differ greatly from your own. An important part of conversing is listening and allowing reciprocation by the other person.
Reading is an effective method of gathering and storing information to talk about at the next social gathering you attend. A person who is well-read can be great entertainment at get-togethers and provide plenty of grist for some titillating conversations.
Although reading is wonderful all on its own, using it to easily strengthen your conversational skills brings you even more rewards.

This product is also available in these versions:
Rhythm! The Complete Countdown Recordings, CD (£11.50)
So I'm at my first ever gig. It's 14 April 1985 and I'm at the old Marquee on Wardour Street, and a large mod, who shall only be known as Bob lands on my toe. I'm far too young to complain, but I can understand his enthusiasm. We've come to see the US band the Untouchables who've landed in the UK charts with the hit Free Yourself, but first we get to see a young mod band from the West Midlands, who we've been told are really really something.
Some 16 years later I'm in a studio in the North West of England, and I'm talking to the bass player of that band, Makin' Time. I've just been interviewing the lead singer of the band he has been in since the late 80s.They are finishing the recording of their seventh album, which would become the fantastic Wonderland. Yet obviously I just had to share with him my experiences of seeing his first group all those years ago.
Right so for many that may be the hook for this album. The original outfit of the Charlatans' bass player. But it would be the wrong way of looking at it, because Makin' Time were unique in their own right. In the mid-80s the mod revival scene had left a distinct trail behind it. On the one hand some pined for the power pop guitar chords of the Jam, the Purple Hearts and Secret Affair, but others had followed the more soulful line typified by the Style Council. Some felt that this lead to over smooth anodyne music (not me!) but Makin' Time took a classic rock band format - Martin Blunt on bass, Fay Hallam on organ, Mark McGounden on guitar and Neil Clitheroe on drums - and added to it soulful influences.
Ours is the first reissue of this material, culled from the band's three singles and album for the Countdown label. The songs stand up for themselves, whilst the booklet has the group's story told by Chris Hunt, now an experienced journalist who regularly works for both Mojo and Q, but at the time an early champion and friend of Makin' Time who published his own fanzine 'Shadows and Reflections'. Chris talked to all four members of the band for their reminicenses on those times (it is, we believe, the first time that Martin Blunt has agreed to this in years), and provided us with access to the photographs that 'Shadows and Reflections' had had taken at the time by their photographer Caron Malcolm. It is a fitting tribute to one of the best bands I've ever seen live.
Of course I only remember the date of that Marquee gig because Chris Hunt's sleeve notes told me them. But in a strange coincidence, at the time of writing the last gig I went to was on the 12 February 2003 at the Metro Club on London's Oxford Street, just around the corner from the old Marquee. After a set by the latest American hopefuls the Kings Of Leon, Fay Hallam's new group Phase take the stage to a packed club. As they say... what comes around goes around.

Preferred use: Executive portraits under time pressure and available light conditions, editorial, people, travel, candid portraits on location, weddings, theatrical and stage photography.
The Planar® T* 2/110 lens is the fastest Carl Zeiss lens in 6x6 medium format. Focusing with this fast lens and the Hasselblad Acute Matte focusing screen is stunningly fast and precise. With the Planar T* 2/110 lens the full aperture of 2 can, however, not only be used for focusing. The lens is so well corrected that the full aperture can be used for picture taking. This is a result of Carl Zeiss' experience as main supplier for super speed lenses to the motion picture industry. In still photography this high speed Planar lens is an excellent tool for portrait photography. Combined with a modern 200 series Hasselblad camera featuring Hasselblad's quick return mirror, the photographer has unparalled control of his portrait taking situation.
This is especially useful with executive portraits: They mostly ought to show some of the executive's environment with unwanted detail blurred out by a large aperture, need to have high technical qualitiy to enable poster size enlargements, and have to be done under considerable time constraints, often in available light – the perfect task for the Planar T* 2/110 lens. Similar situations face the candid wedding photographer and the theatrical and stage performance photo specialist. On top of that the Planar T* 2/100 lens is an impressive piece of "glass"!

- Features

- Patent-pending formula
- About the brand
With Fake Bake 'Xtreme' Self Tanning Gel you can satisfy your desire to elevate your tan to the deepest, darkest level with our new self-tanning gel.
Purified water, dihyroxyacetone, camellia sinesis leaf extract, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, ascorbic acid (vitamin c), retinyl palmitate (vitamin a), tocopheryl acetate (vitamin e, sd alchol 40, polyacrylamide, c 13-14 isparaffin laureth-7, trimethylpentanediol-adipic acid copolymer, sodium pca, hydrolyzed elastin, fragrance, polysorbate 80, tetrasodium edta, imidazolidinyl urea, citrus acid, blue 1, yellow 5, yellow 6, red 40.
Always wear gloves and exfoliate before the first application of any of self-tanning product. Pump into your gloved hand and apply in a circular motion. Apply once a week, or until desired color is achieved.
Fake Bake has conquered the quest for a perfect tan that doesn't damage your health. Formulas are preservative-free and contain botanically extracted ingredients, which means no streaking or unpleasant odors and they're gentle enough for sensitive skin. Fake Bake products hydrate and protect your body without clogging pores so you can enjoy a luxurious experience and rich looking tan that's natural and safe.
Gel Vs LotionI have tried the fake bake lotion as well as the gel. My consensus is they both give a great color, coming from someone who has tried every self tanner in the world, I do really like this product because it looks like a real tan. It has a rich brown color and is not orange at all. For those that say the tan washes off, it's supposed to. I almost feel that these products are more like a skin stain than a sunless tanner. It may be intimidating at first because of the darkness (like chocolate syrup) but it looks nice on the first application even for fare skin. It is build-able, so if the tan isn't as dark as you would like you do it again the next night. It is important you exfoliate on the first usage and wash before each application thereafter to ensure proper absorption of the tan. Don't use any lotion, or oily products (I used a sugar scrub for exfoliating and it was too oily for my first go around) The lotion goes on more evenly than the gel upon application, however both appear equally as even after rinsing the next day. The gel has a more intense tanning factor I feel than the lotion. The gel however is quite sticky, the lotion is not. They are equally as messy, however it washes out of clothes/sheets. Either way you cant go wrong, but I would start with the lotion if you are a first time user. I would also buy a pack of latex gloves for application, the one pair that comes with the bottle just isn't enough. It also doesn't dry the skin out or look all crazy when your skin starts to shed like other tanners. Overall I really love this product. On a scale my favorites in order: 1. Fake Bake 2. Mystic Tan 3. Loreal Wipes 4. Sally Henson Airbrush Legs (not a tanner but amazing) 5. Breathe Delight Gradual Tanning Lotion Everything else kind of seems the same.

Fake Bake Hides FlawsHi, I am a black person who has lighter imperfections in her skin, well, white imperfections. I tired of using liquid makeup as it would always come off. I tried this product and guess what? No more makeup no more coming off at inappropriate times. Its really very good. I hope they make it just a wee bit darker so I dont have to apply three coats.

BLM Requests Nominations for the 2013 Reclamation and Sustainable Mineral Development Awards Program
Washington, D.C. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Director announces the request for nominations for the 2013 Reclamation and Sustainable Mineral Development Awards. The deadline to submit nominations is March 29, 2013.
The awards recognize independent initiative and voluntary action in solid mineral (non-coal) development operations that embody the principles of sustainable development or represent outstanding examples of reclamation or environmental stewardship. The development of hardrock and other locatable minerals on public lands in Fiscal Year 2011 contributed more than $15 billion to the U.S. economy and provided over 82,000 jobs.
"Reclamation and sustainable development of non-fuel minerals provide important resources for the current generation of Americans while ensuring that future generations will have their needs met too," said Acting BLM Director Mike Pool. "These awards are an opportunity to celebrate success and recognize outstanding partners in the stewardship of the public lands and mineral resources."
These non-monetary awards highlight some of the finest examples of responsible mineral resource development and illustrate the principles of sustainable development without compromising the needs of future generations. The awards program also helps to promote successful ideas and practices that may be implemented at various locations throughout the nation.
The awards fall under five categories – the Hardrock Mineral Environmental Award, the Hardrock Mineral Community Outreach and Economic Security Award, the Hardrock Mineral Small Operator Award, the Hardrock Mineral Director's Award, and the "Fix A Shaft Today!" Award.
The Hardrock Mineral Environmental Award recognizes efforts in environmental stewardship. This category recognizes achievements demonstrating continuous or repeated efforts to successfully meet or exceed Federal, State, or local reclamation requirements with minimal oversight.
The Hardrock Mineral Community Outreach and Economic Security Award recognizes projects that show concern for community responsibilities and the economic benefits of mineral development. This award recognizes successful coordination of projects with local and regional stakeholders. Projects that contribute to quality of life or show concern for a community's long-term health are also eligible.
The Hardrock Mineral Small Operator Award recognizes efforts in environmental stewardship of operators with fewer than 15 employees. Similar to the Hardrock Mineral Environmental Award, this award recognizes achievements demonstrating continuous or repeated efforts to successfully meet or exceed Federal, State, or local reclamation requirements with minimal oversight.
The Hardrock Mineral Director's Award is for outstanding achievement in a particular area of sustainable development. The award will recognize an operator whose dedication and commitment to excellence has resulted in the use of a new or innovative design or technique that allows or enhances successful operations in technically challenging conditions or in critical environmental settings.
The "Fix A Shaft Today!" ("FAST!") Award recognizes active participation in the FAST! Campaign, which is a partnership initiative aimed at eradicating unsafe abandoned mine land features, especially open mine shafts.
The deadline for submitting nominations is March 29, 2013. Nominations are to be submitted in the BLM State Office (Attention: Solid Minerals) that has jurisdiction in the State where the operation is located. The presentation of awards will take place in October 2013 in Washington, D.C.
Mining companies, regulatory authorities, geologists, and members of the public may nominate operators or organizations in the non-coal solid minerals industries for an award. Nominations need not be limited to operations on land managed by the BLM. For detailed information on the nomination and selection processes, including the required format for nominations click here.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

It is wonderful to be here!
I have been a storyteller my entire life. According to my mother, I was quite a talker at an early age. Being the oldest of five children, I had a lot of entertaining to do. I would write skits, plays, and put on penny carnivals for the younger neighborhood children. I was always creating and still am. I currently live on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State with my husband and our 21 month old daughter, Kaylee. Incidentally, she is quite a talker too. BELLYACHE: A Delicious Tale is my first book.
A lip-smacking, mouthwatering, absolutely delectable debut, BELLYACHE: A Delicious Tale by Crystal Marcos is a literary feast for ages seven and up. In the vein of Roald Dahl's best-loved adventures, Marcos offers a mystical, character driven escapade that intertwines strands of reality with a larger-than-life fantasy world. When Peter Fischer sets out to help his grandfather at Papa's Sweet Shop, he will quickly learn that sneaking sweets and covering up his sugar-dusted tracks will have major consequences. As Peter is transported to a mysteriously delicious, faraway land, a curious people known as the Candonites, some of whom have no time for a non-Candonite, will teach Peter a lesson on what it means to be different and what it means to forgive.BELLYACHE has been well received in the industry. Accomplishments include, nominated for the 2010 CYBILS awards, featured in South Sound Magazine, and book write up with cover art in the first ever PW Select section of Publisher's Weekly magazine.
My love for children and children's books inspired me to write BELLYACHE: A Delicious Tale. I also thought about what books I really enjoyed and which ones stuck in my mind from childhood. Oddly enough, all those books featured food and treats. I imagined what I would want my children to read about someday and I wanted it to be something I felt comfortable with them reading. I wanted them to be transported into a place that was so fantastic that they would always remember it.
Majority of the book came as I wrote. I actually rewrote the ending shortly before it was published.
No, I had no concerns. There are many beloved books that feature food or sweets and they are some of the best loved books of all time. Many are my favorites.
Maybe I just have hyperactive kids. Any talk of sweets sets them over the edge.
I didn't create this book based on a real life experience. It was based off personal preference. I wanted to write a book I know I would have enjoyed as a child and still would enjoy as an adult and I wanted the same for my readers.
Right now, my biggest obstacle is time management. As I had mentioned earlier, I have a 21 month and she keeps me very busy. I want to spend as much time with my daughter during these precious years as possible. I can always write, but she is only little once. So, I do much of my work at night after she is asleep. I have had many late nights.
I've put off even trying to write a book because of my kids. It's too hard to balance everything out. So I do applaud you for managing it!
My favorite book is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Roald Dahl's books had an influence in me becoming an author.
Oh yeah, definitely see that!
I guess if I have to have a super power, it would be to never get tired. Do you know how much I could get accomplished! I bet you could imagine how much you could accomplish with all that extra time!
Oh yes! If I didn't have to sleep I could read two books a day AND blog to my hearts content!
My current project is writing the sequel to BELLYACHE. Future projects will include picture books I have been working on for years and a young adult project I can promise will be unlike anything you have ever read before.
Can't wait!
You can purchase my book from Amazon the direct link: http://www.amazon.com/Bellyache-Delicious-Tale-Crystal-Marcos/dp/0984389903 or check my website to see other options.
My website: www.CrystalMarcos.com please check out my writing activities for children.

Crystal is giving away one copy of BELLYACHE: A Delicious Tale to one reader. This giveaway is open to US or Canadian addresses only. You must be 13 years of age to enter (or ask parental permission). It is open until April 22nd, 2011.
Tell us one of your favorites as a child (book, treats, etc) in a comment with contact info.

YMCA restructuring does not affect Brown Deer facility
The bankruptcy restructuring of the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee led the organization to sell of its suburban locations — but not the Rite-Hite Family YMCA in Brown Deer.
In fact, the Brown Deer YMCA will play an important role in the restructuring plan, which calls for "a truly urban mission that helps more Milwaukee families build healthy lifestyles and works with more neighbors of all ages to be healthy, engaged members of the community," according to a press release.
Rite-Hite Family YMCA is home to the YMCA Healthy Lifestyle Village — a unique wellness and prevention partnership between the Y, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare and the Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center. Under the plan, the Rite-Hite Family YMCA will serve as the flagship for the Y's healthy living initiatives, addressing diet, disease prevention and other lifestyle topics. All other operations at the Rite-Hite Family YMCA will continue to operate as usual.
Shabahang rug store gets
a new sign and a name change
Shabahang Persian Carpets in Whitefish Bay unveiled a new sign on Friday sporting its new company name: Orley Shabahang.
Founded in 1973 by partners Geoffrey Orley and Bahram Shabahang, Orley Shabahang opened its first location in Whitefish Bay in 1982. The name change in the Milwaukee market aligns the flagship Whitefish Bay store with its national store locations in Palm Beach, Fla., New York, N.Y. and Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
Orley Shabahang controls all facets of the production of its carpets, including breeding the sheep from which wool is harvested, directly managing the hand spinning and dyeing of the wool and designing and weaving each carpet. Orley Shabahang's local store has 12 employees.
Whitefish Bay postpones rebuilding Bartlett Avenue
Whitefish Bay officials will postpone a planned reconstruction of Bartlett Avenue until next year, when they hope to receive lower construction bids.
The Village Board originally budgeted $1.6 million for the project, but partially due to a $250,000 bio-filtration basin within the median, the bids came in over budget at $2.2 million.
The project plan was altered to include a biofiltration facility in order to be eligible for two Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District grants: a $50,000 storm water management grant and a $50,000 sewer separation grant. The project also came in over bid due to the cost of inflation from 2012, when the project was budgeted.
Trustees on June 2 decided to reject the lowest bids, and bid out for the project again in the spring of 2015 without the biofiltration facility in the median. The MMSD grants will no longer be available next year.
Village officials had planned to reconstruct Bartlett Avenue between Fairmount and Oakland avenues, a two-block stretch of roadway dating back to the 1920s. The roadway was identified for reconstruction due to the poor condition of the road surface, poor drainage, aged sanitary sewer, aged water main and lack of storm sewer.
A portion of the roadway had the sanitary sewer relaced in 2006, and this project would have completed that work. The Bartlett project as originally proposed would have shut off the 4700 block of Bartlett Avenue at Hampton Road, essentially creating a cul-de-sac that started and ended at Bartlett Avenue and Oakland Avenue.

Winning his campaign's way
CHICAGO In the end, President Barack Obama won re-election exactly the way his campaign had predicted: running up big margins with women and minorities, mobilizing a sophisticated registration and get-out-the-vote operation, and focusing narrowly on the battleground states that would determine the election.
It wasn't always exciting, and it was hardly transformational. But it worked.
"The Obama campaign laid out its plan, told everyone what they were doing and executed," said Anita Dunn, a former Obama White House official who advised the campaign through the fall. "No one should be surprised."
Still, there were detours along the way, most notably Obama's dismal performance in the first debate, which breathed new life into Republican challenger Mitt Romney's campaign. The deadly attack on a U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, thrust foreign policy into the spotlight and exposed Obama to a flurry of GOP criticism of his leadership. And superstorm Sandy upended the campaign in its closing days, though the political impact appears to have been positive for Obama, who got a high-profile opportunity to show voters his presidential leadership
Even as national polls suggested an exceedingly close race, Obama's advisers insisted they had the edge in the nine competitive states. By Wednesday, Obama had won seven of them, with Florida still too close to call.
Exit polls also backed up the Democratic team's assertions that the coalition of young people and minorities who supported Obama in 2008 would still vote in big numbers this time around.
Black voters made up 13 percent of the electorate, just as they did in 2008, and Latinos increased from 9 percent to 10 percent. Obama won more than 70 percent of Latinos and more than 90 percent of blacks, according to exit polls. He also maintained his advantage with women, defeating Romney by 11 points among female voters.
While the demographics looked the same, Obama aides knew from that start that this would have to be a different kind of campaign from his insurgent, optimistic race four years ago. The public's frustration with the sluggish economy and high unemployment made Obama vulnerable.
The Chicago-based campaign quickly coalesced around a strategy to transform the race from a referendum on Obama's economic record into a choice between the president and Romney, the man aides always expected to win the Republican nomination.
Even before Romney officially became the nominee, Obama's team was savaging him on the airwaves.
The campaign spent millions of dollars on television advertisements that sought to cut down Romney's business record, the central tenet of his campaign, and his character, casting the multimillionaire as a secretive protector of the rich.
The president, whose cool exterior belies a deeply competitive core, backed his team's decision to go negative early.
As the race pressed on, the economy's trajectory also started to help Obama. Unemployment, which peaked at 10.1 percent during his term, had dropped to 7.9 percent by Election Day. By October, consumer confidence had reached its highest level since February 2008.
While Obama and Romney squabbled through the summer and into the fall, the Democratic team was mobilizing a field operation in competitive states that proved to be just as robust as its highly praised operation from 2008.
Obama's campaign never fully left places like Ohio and Iowa after the 2008 election. And while Romney battled through the GOP primary, the Democratic campaign was opening dozens, and in some cases hundreds, of field offices across the states.
The staffers and volunteers in those offices helped register 1.8 million new voters in the key battlegrounds, nearly double the number the campaign said it registered in 2008. Officials said volunteers made more than 125 million personal phone calls or door knocks with voters.
Obama's team also focused heavily on running up a lead in early voting and using the extended polling time to get supporters without a consistent voting record to the ballot box.
Before Election Day, campaign officials said their early voting advantages meant Romney would have needed to exceed 50 percent or more of the remaining votes in Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and Ohio to pull off victories there. He lost all four states.
Throughout the campaign, Obama advisers prided themselves on not getting diverted by polls or the latest Twitter trend.

KEARNS/EAST CARBON-Donna Ruth Perkins Mantle, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on Aug. 3, 2011 in East Carbon, Utah.
She was born to Howard Perkins and Lela Gledhill on Jan. 10, 1926 in Standardville, Utah.
Donna grew up in Carbon County and with the passing of her mother, she was raised in a blended family. Donna was very close to Ruth, her father's third wife and often referred to her brothers and sisters as one large and very happy family. During the war years she moved to Salt Lake to live with an aunt and uncle. While there she met the love of her life Ray Parley Mantle who had just returned from the war.
Donna and Ray were married in the Logan LDS Temple on July 22, 1946. They started their family in the mining community of Standardville, and later moved to Kearns, Utah. Donna was the perfect example of a homemaker. She is remembered for her sparkling clean home, from the windows to the baseboards. Her loving support allowed each of her children to develop talents and pursue their varied interests. Although she worked during the children's teenage years, Donna always found time to be there for them.
As an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Donna loved to serve others and was a great support and comfort to the girls and women she worked with. She had a beautiful soprano voice and sang in the church choir and was asked to sing solos on several occasions. Later in life, Donna and Ray served as family history missionaries and in the Salt Lake Temple for many years.
She is survived by her seven children, Rayleen Keith, Rex (Susan) Mantle, Elizabeth Campbell, Melanie Howick, Edna (David) Wells, Lisa (Joel) Trujillo and Chad Mantle; 30 grandchildren, 66 great-grandchildren; brother, Van (Kathy) Perkins; and sister, Darleen Harrison.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ray Parley Mantle; son's-in-law, Phil Keith and Rod Campbell; granddaughter, Gina Howick; brothers, Rex, Max, Paul and Clement; and her sisters, Carol and Lela.
Every part of her life set an example of grace and dignity. Her sweet and unconditional love for her children and grandchildren will be dearly missed. We love you Mom.
Funeral service, Saturday, Aug. 13, 2011, 12 noon, Salt Lake 14th LDS Ward (142 West 200 North) Salt Lake City. Family will receive friends at the church Saturday at 10:30 a.m. Interment, Taylorsville City Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price, where friends are welcome daily and may share memories of Donna at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.

This is Piltati rock hole. Wati wanampi kutjara (two water-snake men).Minyma kutjara anyanyi kukaku (the two women, who were married to the two brothers, were walking over their hunting grounds looking for food). They saw the tracks of a big snake and followed them to Piltati. At Piltati the big sister stabbed the eldest brother one of the water snakes, with her wana (digging stick) in the back. The two brothers headed to Kanpi rock hole, one still with the spear in his body. When you stand on the hills behind Kanpi you can see the path made by the wanampi.

Glad I bought them!
"I actually was going to purchase these shoes a month ago but changed my mind because of some of the reviews. But, when I saw that DSW still had them and on clearance it was a done deal for me. I am very happy I did. The shoes were a little tight initially but once i put them on and walked through the house a bit they broke in nicely. Shoe is true to size, I'm an 8 and they are a perfect fit. Shoes are a gray/greenish, not silver like the picture."

Miz Mooz are great!
"I absolutely love this shoe. It's hard to find a comfortable shoe that you can wear to work when you're standing all day, that is still cute. The shoes seem a little tight when I started wearing them, but they stretched out to the perfect size because of the material."

Bare with me people
In the latest chapter shizune confirms that the black rod is a chakra receiver, Tsunadai came up with two possible conclusions
1) They all move according to these chakra signals they recieve
2) Maybe it's a way for them to transmit chakra between them
Chapter 421 page 15
So what we learn from this is that pain needs to keep recieving chakra or he won't function.
And let me bring back a certain chapter to give you a little hope.
Chapter 383 page13
At the bottom of that chapter, pain admitted that he would of never have won if jiraiya knew about his secret. Now according to that statement a single ninja who is highly skilled and intelligent is capable of taking out pain if they have knowledge of his secret.
I know a lot of ninja's in konoha aren't on jiraiya's level but a few of the good ones working together should make up for the strength and skill. And konoha is figuring pain out very quickly, once they know about him, I guarantee they will be able to finish the job.
I don't even think naruto is needed.

toe shoe convert
"I have always thought vibrams looked horrid and uncomfortable, so I never wanted to spend $100+ on trying some out even though people swear by them. When I saw these on clearance for $30, I figured what the hay. They are so comfy! BTW, I have 6 toes on one foot, which was another reason I was hesitant with toe shoes, but they surprisingly fit very well. The only problem I had was getting blisters on the balls of my feet from doing a 5K the first day I wore them, but that was my fault for not getting used to being so close to the ground and breaking them in first."

Did You Know? Countdown to Mardi Gras (02/09)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Mardi Gras and
Fat Tuesday Celebrations
February 09 : 07 days till Mardi Gras
Did you know that Mardi Gras celebrations date back to ancient Roman times?
The Romans' Lupercalia festival was held in mid-February to honor the god of fertility and agriculture, Lupercus. The party had definite Mardi Gras-like qualities, including drinking, feasting and "pleasures of the flesh". During the Crusades, the carnival-like Lupercalia became adopted as a "last fling" of indulgence before the 40-day Lenten period of penitence.
Celebrated throughout the Gulf Coast, Mardi Gras is practically synonymous with New Orleans. But you don't have to live in Creole Country to enjoy a good party. In fact, if you want to get in on the fun, just come join us for our Mardi Gras Ball! We will be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fun fact each day as we countdown to Mardi Gras, February 16th!

Cute but flimsy
"They really need a "yes and no" selection for the "I would recommend..." part of the review process. Allow me to explain:I love everything about this bag except for the construction. It is super flimsy, floppy and has an all around "unfinished" feel to it; it is like they forgot to put in the stiffer purse form between the layers of material. There is zero structure to any part of this bag so the closure flap just sort of flops around all willy-nilly when you are trying to get into it. The body has no structure, either, which makes it very lumpy when you put stuff into it. The color (taupe/black) is great, especially with the cutouts. As the taupe is a true taupe, which is hard to find, I can't really let it go. :-/ So, all that said, I still kept it. I am going to add structure to it myself, since I got it with a major discount. Would I recommend it? Only if you are aware of what you aren't getting and okay with that would I say 'yes'; if you are not into buying a "project" bag, then keep on truckin'. ;)"

Doing Research in Real Time: A Collaborative Approach
This video is adapted from a presentation given at the 2010 National Genealogical Society Conference entitled "Doing Research in Real Time-An Exhilarating Collaboration Experience!" Its purpose is to demonstrate that genealogical research can be conducted by forming a collaborative team that can work together online. By utilizing this type of approach, a small team of researchers can produce more artifacts and results in less time than a single researcher working alone. The Wiki Article/Handout link found above provides more detailed information about the process and tools that can be selected and utilized.
