Skip to comments.Cuomo: We Must Crack Down on the Guns in Wake of Connecticut Shooting
Posted on 12/14/2012 8:15:03 PM PST by Tailgunner Joe
In one of the worst school shootings in American history, over two dozen were left dead at a Newtown, Connecticut elementary school earlier today. And, although many facts have yet to emerge, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called for the public to learn from yet another senseless and horrific act of violence involving guns, and for the government to act in response.
We as a society must unify and once and for all crack down on the guns that have cost the lives of far too many innocent Americans, Mr. Cuomo said in a statement. Let this terrible tragedy finally be the wake-up call for aggressive action and I pledge my full support in that effort.
Mr. Cuomo, of course, is not the only prominent New Yorker to call for new gun control measures, and elected officials press releases have been pouring in, both expressing their sympathy and pushing for new policies to slow the flow of illegal guns. Manhattan Congressman Jerry Nadler announced he was challenging President Obama, the Congress, and the American public to act on our outrage and, finally, do something about this, for example. Similarly, Speaker Shelly Silver tacked more broadly, declaring, If ever there is a time to finally have a serious discussion about our countrys culture of violence that time is now.
View Mr. Cuomos full reaction below:
I was shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School this morning in Newtown, Connecticut. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the innocent victims many of whom were young children whose lives were claimed by this senseless and horrific act of violence. During times of such unthinkable tragedy, all New Yorkers stand together with the people of our neighboring state to grieve the loss of life and help bear the pain and anguish that will be felt by so many in the weeks, months, and years to come.
While we dont have all the facts and our focus must be on the victims, this is yet another senseless and horrific act of violence involving guns. We as a society must unify and once and for all crack down on the guns that have cost the lives of far too many innocent Americans. Let this terrible tragedy finally be the wake-up call for aggressive action and I pledge my full support in that effort.
Cuomo has a mouse in his pocket named Bloomberg.
They need to worry about their own state and leave the rest of us alone.
All these Dems are whores for their ideology.
Shut up Andy. Go read the Second Amendment. It's not up to the government to take the rights listed in the Bill of Rights away from the people. Those rights belong to us. If you sh*theads try it, the contract between the people and the government is no longer valid.
That's about it.
They tried this same crap after the DC sniper shootings and that didn't work out so hot.
Unify? Is this the same society that has been buying guns at record levels the last several years, all while crime stats have been going down?
Cuomo was thinking "We need to score some political points off this tragedy. Never let a disaster go to waste". Those self serving ghouls don't care one whit about those dead kids, just their political goals and talking points.
Go into the inner cities and get rid of all the gangbanger guns and you might have somewhat of a valid point. Otherwise, the rest of us will insist on owning guns just to protect ourselves from thugs and crazies.
Hey Cuomo, more than 100 children were murdered in Chicago this year from gang banging thugs..you want to take away THEIR guns..I'll give you 5 bucks if you can get a gang banger to give up his piece
Like toadstools popping up after a rain, you can always count on liberals to start crying for gun bans after a tragedy.
Exploiting the massacre of children to further their radical Leftwing agenda... typical.
Take care of your own state before looking around at others. Your state has very restrictive gun laws and you can't do anything about shooting in NYC. Your own backyard needs cleaning up first.
Guns, knives, rocks or baseball bats don't kill anyone. People use them and whatever else they can as weapons to kill people.
In the middle east bombs are the tool of choice. In china it is knives. I some areas it is gasoline. In others it is acid.
Crack down on relaistic video games that desensitize people toward killing. I bet you will find alot of these shooters are hardcore gamers. How else do you explain these monsters that deliberately kill little kids. Its not the guns its the games.
"Unify", under their ideology and leadership, of course.
Aggressive action?
To do what, strip American Citizens of their God Given Constitutional Rights?
Here's my plan, Disarm Democrats, Tax Democrats at 100% and force all Democrats to live in either Detroit, Philly or New York City.
Then have the Ruskies retarget their Nuclear Missiles to hit Detroit, Philly and New York City. They already have a bunch pointed at D.C., so we won't have to worry about that Liberal Cesspool.
Our Country is doomed, no doubt about it. One nutzoid kid pulls off a heinous crime and Law Abiding American Citizens are targeted by the Ruling Class.
No, we need to crack down on the mental health field and demand they stop allowing these mentally ill people to walk among us. If they are mentally ill lock them up so they can get the help they need.
This makes a great deal of sense. Making guns just as illegal as marijuana, heroin, and cocaine (possession of ANY amount including residue in a pipe is a jailtime felony) pretty much ended the issue of those drugs in America.
What could go wrong? What- a big time black market feeding guns and ammo to criminals while decent citizens are jailed? Grow up, that could never happen!
Think of the future as a boot, endlessly trampling a human face.
Thousands of one room school houses across the nation were kept safe by a shotgun standing in the corner, over these last 100 years.
Perhaps visit a school district in Israel?
The duty of teachers is to keep children safe at school, they stand in loco parentis. That danger now includes shooters who would enter the school and kill students. The answer, and the only answer of any American who has an ounce of sense is to arm teachers and make sure they are trained to discharge their duty to keep students safe.
Its just that simple.Meanwhile Cuomo thinks that disarming law abiding citizens is the answer, so that they too will be victims to the next crazy a$$hole who comes along armed?..... Making Americans all into sheep who must depend on others for self defence, one of the most basic human rights of any civilized nation?
Alex Jones has it right:
I really dislike people like this AH.
Well these immoral a-holes smell blood in the water and they are going to milk it for all they can.
Posted this re-post from another site earlier:
Why have most of these tragedies only occurred recently?
Repeating firearms have existed for over 150 years the Colt revolver for example.
Why didnt those kinds of massacres occur 150 120.. 100 years ago?
Why didnt these tragedies occur back when select fire fully automatic weaponry were easily available?
Why do these tragedies almost always occur in Gun-Free zones where the law-abiding are denied the right of self-defense?
And why do they happen a lot of the time in heavily Democratic states with that already have tight gun-control laws?
May the unrepentant 2nd Amendment traitors, especially the leftstream media anti-gun advocates and political leaders who took away the right of school administrators and teachers to defend their students, burn in hell twice as long as the piece of excrement that committed these murders.
Pathetically predictable.....
Oh Yeh all the Libs are frothing at the bit. Maybe this is their big chance to grab the guns and then finally put the jackboot on all of us low level terrorists and bitter clingers.
That dog is not going to hunt. The mood of the country is definitely not for gun control and both houses of Congress are well aware of it. Dems and Pubbies.
If BHO tries some BS executive order to ban black rifles he is likely to set off CWII. Maybe thats what he wants who knows? I would put nothing past the man and his puppet masters.
Guns are NOT the problem. Crazy people are the problem. The MSM is the other problem—sensationalizing the crimes and criminals.
Frak off Andy.
Cuomo the homo.
We know it's not about guns. It's about control.
Come and get them.
Nadler's got a lot of gall to open his fat trap...he was a supporter of pardons for Weather Underground terrorists Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg who were involved in the 1981 Brinks armored car robbery that resulted in the murder of the Brinks guard and two Nyack NY police officers and left 9 children fatherless. Rosenberg was also an arms smuggler, caught finally in 1984 after being on the run from the robbery and she was known for shouting "long live the armed struggle!" when she was captured. Nadler in payment for using his spot on the judiciary committee to hobble the impeachment proceeedings against Clinton, was rewarded by Clinton with the pardons of these two Castro-loving terrorists. Evans still had 24 years left to serve of her sentence when pardoned and Rosenberg still had 42 years to serve of hers. See:
The politicans need to give up armed police and body guards if they are going to treat the public as all potential criminals. They are criminals, too. They don't need to be protected by gun.
But the libs are perfectly OK with murdering innocent Americans, the most defenseless of babes- in "clinics."
A far left loon preaching about life ... what a hypocrite.
And now we enter the phase of a tragic shooting when gun control fanatics shoot their mouths off and talk us to death.
Yet not one word about the 52 million babies who have had a hole drilled in their skull, their brain sucked out and their bodies burned.
Miserable hypocrites.
THIS JUST IN FROM FOREIGN PRESS: While the US media cry about gun control, the foreign media point out that an innocent man Ryan Lanza, his face all over the net and on TV, was accused by the US media (and its faithful followers, many of them here) of being a mass murderer!
When parents drop off their kids at government school, they have a right to expect their children will be indoctrinated in Marxism, and return home safe at the end of the day.
Drugs are illegal in this country and yet any 14 year old who wants them can get them.
What makes anyone think that banning guns would make them difficult to get?
It's amazing how the acts of single person can threaten the rights of millions.
I left there for good in 1980. Recently, I have had some personal business requiring me to return from time to time. I am licensed to carry in 39 states, and the nature of my business makes CCW a very good idea.
Not only is this impossible - NY does not issue nonresident permits and does not honor any other state's permits - The part of NY I travel in also bans travel with most of my rifles and shotguns if they are loaded or capable of being loaded.
What more does Cuomo want?
One nutzoid kid pulls off a heinous crime and Law Abiding American Citizens are targeted by the Ruling Class
plain and simple!
Hey Cuomo - as soon as your government thugs give up theirs and the thieves and robbers give up theirs and the islamofascists and commies give up theirs, then we can talk. Until that time, I'm keeping mine to protect myself from YOU!
When they give up their security then I will give up mine.

Anti-'Obamacare' Congressman Doesn't Understand How Health Insurance Works
New Maryland Republican Representative Andy Harris won his seat on a platform of resisting the expansion of "government-run or government-mandated insurance." He also spent Monday demanding to know why he had to wait 28 days for his own government-run insurance.
Because the House of Representatives is like a slightly less self-aware version of college, the government holds a series of orientation sessions where they play "Two Truths and a Lie" and learn how to put condoms on. Kidding! They learn important congress stuff like "How to Vote," and the nuts and bolts of things like their health care plans.
Which is where Andy Harris comes in. According to Politico's Glenn Thrush, who talked to an aide who was there, Harris, an anesthesiologist, was apparently pretty ticked that his (government-run) health-care plan wouldn't take effect until February 1, almost a full month after his January 3 swearing-in:
"He stood up and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care," said a congressional staffer who saw the exchange. The benefits session, held behind closed doors, drew about 250 freshman members, staffers and family members to the Capitol Visitors Center auditorium late Monday morning,".
"Harris then asked if he could purchase insurance from the government to cover the gap," added the aide, who was struck by the similarity to Harris's request and the public option he denounced as a gateway to socialized medicine.
It's hard to know where to start with this one! But, well, how about: Gosh, Dr. Harris, if you're wondering what to do during that 28-day period where you don't have health care, you might turn to one of the 50 million Americans who aren't currently insured. I bet they'd have some tips for you!
Or, maybe, Dr. Harris, you could consider that most businesses require employees to wait something like 90 days to provide comprehensive coverage, and 28 days is a pretty sweet deal? Haha, of course you couldn't, since, as you said, "this is the only employer I've ever worked for where you don't get coverage the first day you are employed." You might consider that you're pretty lucky, if that's the case, since these days, if an employer offers health insurance, offering it from the first day is pretty rare!
(Not to mention, dude, if you are desperate, you can just pay for an extension on COBRA to get that month of coverage.)
Because, really, doc, right now, you sound like the world's biggest asshole. And not even because of the hilariously outsized sense of entitlement! (Well, okay, sort of that.) But because you spent your campaign saying things like "In Washington... I will fight to repeal health-care reform," and apparently you have no clue how health insurance works for most Americans.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)Wow. Your fit and outfit combo is fantastic. I applaud you, especially with this being only your second post. Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Ok, second outfit that I post in this forum. Let me point out some of the flaws myself to spare you the time: Yes, the jacket is a bit on the short side, as goes for the sleeves. It's an old favorite RL blazer that I don't want to depart from as of yet though. The tie is a bit askew in the first pic. The khaki's could have been more well pressed and I should really change the shoelaces to a more brownish pair. Besides all of that, I'm in love with every piece of garment covering my body today, and as I understand people are interested in brands and so on: Jacket - Ralph Lauren Polo Shirt: Tommy Hilfiger Tie: Knitted wool-, mohair- and alpacca mix. Watch: Vintage Jules Jurgensen Belt: Torino Pants: Re-tailored Dockers Shoes: Carlo Mazzanti (A quite unknown Italian shoemaker) Pocket square: Unknown brand, got it from my grandmother a while back. Might have been my grandad's when he was still alive.

PGDB #6 - Can somebody please hit KANE?
Brian O'Neill
May 02 2009 11:37AM
[caption id="attachment_11484" align="aligncenter" width="490" caption=""A Demonstration""][/caption]
The enslaught of terror that Patrick Kane rained down upon Luongo in the third could have been prevented with two easy steps: (1) Approach Patrick Kane and (2) lambaste him into the boards.
Patrick Kane, is good, nobody is denying it. However, he is a boy. He is young enough that if you hit him hard enough he will never touch the puck again. For god sake, this is a player who cried when his coach got fired. His playoff beard is transparent. I want the Canucks to come out hitting tonight and I'm gonna tell you who I want to do it.
Mats, yes you, you are a giant hulk of a man. I saw you casually lower your shoulder in 2003 and put Brad May in a stretcher. We are paying you a shit ton of money and its time to pay up, in grotesque violence.
Shane O'Brien, you are the more likely candidate to hammer this guy. Where taking dumb penalties is your primary forte, you compensate with some well timed hits. The only way I want to see you in the box is through the glass on top of Kane.
Raymond, you, believe it or not are the juggernaut of this series. An unlikely gladiator, you lead the team in hits, keep this aggressive fire up as your aggression will built momentum. A ref is also less likely to call you for a charge or boarding because you match up better with Kane in the size department.
In all reality I don't care who does it, but the next time Chicago turns it one, the Canucks need to turn them of with some grade A hulk smash into the boards style hockey. Oh, and boys, don't feel it necessary to stop with Kane; Versteeg, Sharp, Toews, and the Glass Man Havlat could all use a little barrage of blood sweat and blue.
[In case you are wondering PGBD = "Playoff Game Day Blog"]
May 02 2009, 11:40AM
Maybe you should send the Canucks this memo. I thought the Hawks may run out of steam in this series (still possible I guess), but it looks like they've got no quit in them. Adam Burish has opened my eyes a plenty in these playoffs. I never realized he was as good or valuble as he is. Patrick Sharp is a stud-and-a-half, and Brent Seabrook & Duncan Keith make the Brian Campbell signing look somewhat silly (money that could've been better spent elsewhere, but oh well). Canucks are in tough this series. I thought Luongo would be the difference, but he wasn't last night. Still, anybodies series. I'm cheering for the Hawks, but think (thought) the Nucks would win. Not so sure anymore. GO HAWKS!
On another note Canucks fan, it looks as though Markus Naslund is set to announce his retirement (reported by TSN's Darren Dreger).

I am an artist, and my medium is death. I'm about to create my masterpiece :s
Fan of the Rasengan Doujutsu theory, even though it's dead. Although, he does have the special Uzumaki clan blood.
It would be somewhat ironic is in the later chapters they manage to find Nagato, but instead of being a GOD like everyone thinks hes become somewhat of a decrepit old man like thing like Darth Sidious and whatnot, his own power eating away at him so the only way to stay alive is to disperse his chakra into other bodies to stop it from destroying him D: sorry if it's off topic but it just sorta hit me.
"When he saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer..."
So the black rods are like Pain detectors, but do they sense the artificial bodies or Nagato is whats confusing. I think they only track the 6 bodies and not Nagato, but then when the bodies leave they can track them with the black rods back to Nagato at the rain village, but thats just an assumption.
yes, this kinda make sense actually.
I don't know if you guys notice this or not, but even all pain's summons and bodies have piercing and rinnegan.
this maybe the explanation that the real pein transmit his chakra into all the bodies through the black blade. the piercing maybe the result of maybe the receiver make all the bodies can fuse their chakra with nagato's
It would be nice to find Nagato with those Chakra recievers. That confirms that he or someone is controlling the bodies from a remote location.
they might be able to use the knowledge they have to defeat the Pain's that are there now.
I really want to see wtf is up with Nagato.
I wonder does even Madara know where Nagato is.

Professional help
The first step in finding help for a sexual problem is to talk to your doctor. Many health care professionals, including doctors, have little training in sexuality issues. They may not be at ease even talking about sex. Many doctors also fail to mention the sexual side effects of cancer and medical treatments. If they do talk about it, they might give you such an unclear picture that you may think that your sex life is over. If your cancer specialist can't help you, we suggest you ask your family doctor or another member of your health care team. If your doctors are not able to help you, they should be able and willing to refer you for help. There are many different programs and specialists that can help you find the answers you need.
A center that specializes in treating cancer may have experts on its staff that can assess and treat sexual problems. But these specialists may see only the patients who are being treated at their hospital. If you're being treated at a cancer center, check to see what programs are offered.
Sexual medicine clinics
In recent years, medical schools and even private practice groups have been opening to treat sexual problems or promote sexual health. Such clinics provide psychological and medical exams through many different types of health care providers. Some clinics require both sexual partners to take part, but you may be seen alone if you're not in a committed relationship. You can try calling a nearby medical school and ask if they have a sexual medicine clinic or sexual health program.
Sex therapists
Sex therapy is a brief type of psychotherapy or counseling (up to 10 or 20 sessions) focused on solving a sexual problem. Sex therapists believe that lovemaking skills are learned and that bad habits can be corrected by learning different sexual techniques. In between meetings with the therapist, a couple (or sometimes just one partner) is given homework assignments. The homework includes exercises to help you communicate and enjoy touching more. They also help reduce anxiety that often interferes with good sex.
Sex therapists may practice in a clinic or alone. Because most states have no laws regulating the title "sex therapist," people with no formal training can call themselves sex therapists. But a sex therapist should be a mental health professional (a psychiatrist, social worker, psychiatric clinical nurse specialist or nurse practitioner, or psychologist) with special training in treating sexual problems. Some counselors may provide sexual counseling if a licensed professional supervises them.
It's not always easy to find a well-trained sex therapist. It's even harder if you live far from a city. A professional society, such as the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT), can give you information about their members who have special training in sex therapy. You can also get a listing of professionals in your area by contacting your state's psychological association, a chapter of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), or a state association for licensed marriage and family therapists. (See the " To learn more" section for contact information.)
Other kinds of counseling
Sex therapy is not the only kind of counseling that can help a person with cancer. Psychotherapy can help you feel better about the changes in your body, help you and your partner communicate more clearly, and give you skills to better cope with the cancer and cancer treatment.
The stress of being diagnosed and treated for cancer can worsen problems that already existed in your relationship. Poor or strained communication with your partner can be discouraging and frustrating. In this case, couples counseling may be helpful if your partner is willing to work with you. Individual therapy can also help you decide how to best deal with the problem.
Finding a well-qualified mental health professional is important. These are some of the different types of mental health professionals out there:
- Psychiatrist: This person has a medical degree with a specialty in psychiatry. They should also be certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
- Psychologist: Most who are practicing alone have a doctorate in psychology (PhD or PsyD) or in education (EdD). Psychologists do not have medical degrees and don't write prescriptions. Psychologists with a master's degree are most often supervised by one with a doctorate. In most states a psychologist must be licensed. Those who practice usually have degrees in clinical or counseling psychology.
- Social worker: A social worker usually has master's degree in social work (MSW). Licensing laws vary from state to state. Some states have a category for licensed psychotherapists called "marriage and family counselors." They usually have a master's degree in psychology or a related field, plus training in counseling.
- Psychiatric clinical nurse specialists or psychiatric nurse practitioners: These nurses have a master's degree in psychiatric nursing. They are licensed professionally, although their ability to prescribe medicines varies from state to state.
The cost of counseling varies with the professional's training and experience, and your health insurance companies reimburse at different rates. One way to get quality treatment for a lower fee is to find a nearby medical school with a psychiatry clinic. You can also go to a university that trains clinical psychologists and has a psychology clinic. A student in advanced training will see you, but they will be supervised by a senior professional.
You may want to check with your insurance company to find out if it will pay (and how much it will cover) for counseling or therapy.
Other medical specialists
A man with sexual problems may choose to consult a urologist with a specialty in sexual medicine. This is a medical doctor trained in diseases of the urinary tract and male genitals, and extra training in how to treat sexual problems. Many urologists perform surgery or prescribe medical treatments for erection problems. They also have the special equipment that may be needed to find the cause of an erection problem.
When the most likely cause of a sexual problem is a hormone imbalance, an endocrinologist should be consulted. Endocrinologists are expert in the complex cycles and systems that control hormone levels. Usually your primary doctor is best able to decide if you need the special knowledge of an endocrinologist to solve your problem.
What to avoid
Men and women often seek help for a sexual problem by going to someone who's not really a health care professional. Sexual problems are common and upsetting, and many people will try unproven remedies or cures. Television, magazines, radio, and the Internet abound with ads for natural enhancers that promise to give you better erections and longer sexual endurance. These heavily marketed and unproven herbs, creams, pills, and supplements have not been studied and are not the answer. There's no evidence that any of them work: not the herbal potency pills like "poppers" or "Spanish fly," oysters, splints around the outside of the penis to stiffen it, muscle exercises that claim to make a man's penis bigger, hypnotism by someone not trained as a mental health professional, or visits to an independent "sexual surrogate." These treatments do not work and can sometimes be harmful.

Overcome Common Roadblocks to a Clean Closet
Conquer a perpetually messy wardrobe by getting to the root of the problem
Whether you have too much stuff or just a terrible closet setup, your wardrobe—as well as your entire bedroom—is likely suffering the clutter consequences. But all hope is not lost! By tackling your specific closet conundrum, you can zero in on a quick and easy solution. Read on for expert advice on getting a cleaner closet, from suggestions for better lighting to tips on easy maintenance.
1. You have too much space.
"Large, vast spaces of open storage do nothing for you. All you end up with is tall, teetering piles," says Melissa Homer, chief cleaning officer at MaidPro. To make it work for organizational purposes, break the space up into smaller pieces using products like baskets, hanging shelving and wire racks. This way, not only will every inch of space become usable—even the darkest corner in the back of your closet—but every item will have somewhere to live (and be returned to). Photo: Shutterstock
2. Your closet design works against you.
If you have a ton of gym clothes and no drawers, or primarily dressy items and one rod to hang them on, you probably find yourself stashing T-shirts where they don't belong or hanging items too close together, which can shorten their shelf life, explains Lorie Marrero, author of The Clutter Diet. The solution? Pinpoint what makes up the majority of your wardrobe and cater to it. For example, if you have a lot of skirts, silk tops and pants, add an easy-to-install rod at waist height to create extra hanging space. Photo: QxQ IMAGES/Datacraft/Getty Images
3. You don't like getting rid of things.
If clothing is your biggest investment, it can be painstaking to part with beloved bags, shoes and other items. Which means it may be time to enlist a friend who will honestly tell you what looks good and what doesn't, says Marrero. Knowing something's ill-fitting or unfashionable might change your mind about keeping it. "Once you've narrowed down your selection, consider donating extra stuff to Goodwill," suggests Marrero, who's also a Goodwill ambassador. You can calculate how much of a difference your old stuff will make in someone's life at Donate.Goodwill.org. Simply enter the types of items you're thinking about donating (clothes, household goods or electronics) to see the impact they will have. Knowing that your old work clothes could help a person in need ace a job interview is a great motivator for donating clothing you don't wear anymore. Photo: Tetra Images/Getyy Images
4. You're not sure what style looks best on you.
Sometimes, when we haven't quite found our signature style, we buy clothes that don't match, and end up not wearing them. If you have clothes in your closet with the tags still on them, it might be time to home in on your fashion tendencies to help ward off clutter. "Once you've defined your style, you'll be much less tempted to purchase items that don't fit into it, since you won't get much use out of them," says Gisela Lowenstein, creator of The Glow System, a housecleaning DVD series. Plus, doing this will help you delve deeper into the style you like, bringing more personality to each of your looks. Photo: Daly and Newton / Getty Images
5. You have bad lighting.
"If you don't have enough lighting inside your closet itself, you're more likely to pull out multiple items every time you get dressed in order to get a better look at them," Marrero says. And often, the clothes don't make it back onto a hanger until you get home from work or embark on a major cleanup mission. "These days, you can really light your closet cheaply and without getting an electrician involved," says Homer. She suggests exploring options like stick-on LED lights or cordless lighting. "If you have good lighting in the closet, you can better match pieces or decipher blue from black items while they're hanging up," Marrero says.
6. You're always in a rush.
"This may be a time-management issue," says Marrero. But if you want to work around the habit, here are a few possible solutions. One: "Lay out your clothes at night, and make sure your closet is in order when you're done," says Homer. Two: "Invest in some closet accessories," Marrero suggests. Even if you only have doors to work with, get hooks, which you can use to hang items that don't make it back into your closet. Three: "Designate a chair or valet stand as a place where you're allowed to put the clothes you're trying on for the day but don't wear," she says. This will prevent a buildup of clothes on your floor or bed. Then, once a week, make a habit of putting everything back in its place. Photo: iStockphoto
7. You treat your closet like storage, not decor.
Why decor? You use your closet every day, whereas you access storage only once in a while. And many closets are out in the open, whereas storage spaces are usually tucked away. But those aren't the only reasons to treat your closet as part of your home's decorative look. "It's psychological," says Marrero, whose organizing philosophy is similar to how others approach weight loss. "When people feel good about their closet, they're proud of it, which motivates them to maintain it." To make your closet more pleasing to the eye, consider tossing wire hangers and investing in matching sets, or swapping out your door hardware for pretty vintage knobs. Photo: iStockphoto
8. Your weight shifts.
Nobody's discouraging you from using your favorite pair of skinny jeans or that pre-baby-weight dress as motivation to drop pounds. But there are two reasons why items that no longer fit shouldn't be front and center in your closet. The obvious reason? Clutter! The not-so-obvious reason? They remind you of what you can't fit into, causing you to start your days on a negative, self-defeatist note, explains Marrero. If you're up to it, get rid of them. "It's more motivating to think about the new clothes you can buy later than to think about wearing the clothes you already have," says Homer. If you don't want to donate them, then at least take them out of circulation. "Treat 'goal-weight' clothing like seasonal clothing and store it away," says Marrero. Photo: Shutterstock
9. You have bad laundry habits.
"Not putting away [clean] clothes is a bad habit that starts in the laundry room," says Marrero. "We see a lot of people pull their stuff out of the dryer and either crumple it up and leave it there or fold it and leave it there." This habit creates two places where you're trying on clothes each day, which encourages excess mess. The best solution: Fold your clothes and put them away—stat, says Marerro. "If you don't like to fold, make sure you always have hangers in the laundry room; this way you can hang items right out of the dryer." Then you just have to grab all the hangers and move them to the closet, where they'll be instantly organized. Photo: Shutterstock
10. You focus on cleaning—not maintaining.
A closet isn't like furniture or a rug that needs dusting or vacuuming every once in a while. Instead, you're much better off approaching your closet as you would, say, your email account. Constant upkeep is the key to staying organized. Having some type of organizational system—whether that's color-coding, hanging dividers or labeling—will help make selecting clothes less overwhelming. "If your kids share a closet or you have a housekeeper, this tactic is especially useful, since everyone will know where to put things," says Marrero. Photo: Shutterstock

February 7, 2014
CHICAGO – Governor Pat Quinn today announced he will host Mexico State Governor Eruviel Ávila for an official state visit from Feb. 9 to Feb. 12. Governor Ávila's trip is a result of Governor Quinn's trade mission to Mexico City which took place in April 2013. Next week's visit will include several events, including a ribbon-cutting at Illinois' new "Casa del Estado de Mexico" (a trade office representing the state of Mexico), a free concert from the Orquesta Sinfónica del Estado de México, a wreath-laying at the Benito Juárez statue on Chicago's Magnificent Mile and the world premiere performance of "Of Mutual Interest: Lincoln and Mexico" at the Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield. The visit is part of the Governor's commitment to strengthening relations between Illinois and Mexico.
"When I led a delegation to Mexico City last year, Governor Ávila showed us why the state of Mexico is as strong an economic partner as it is a wonderful place to visit," Governor Quinn said. "My trade mission to Mexico strengthened ties with our sister state – especially in agriculture, water technology, manufacturing and tourism – and our relationship continues to grow. We are honored that Governor Ávila has traveled to Illinois and will help us celebrate 150 years of friendship between Illinois and Mexico."
"I am eager to see my friend Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and continue the discussions we began last spring about increasing commerce and tourism between our two states," Governor Ávila said. "And I am looking forward to learning about Matías Romero's historic visit to Springfield in 1861."
Governor Ávila will be accompanied by Aarón Urbina Bedolla, Chairman of the state of Mexico's Congress, and Baruch Delgado Carbajal, President of the state of Mexico's Supreme Court. The delegation will include Dr. Jorge Olvera García, Rector of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, who will sign a Memorandum of Agreement with the State of Illinois and University of Illinois to promote collaboration between the two states on veterinary medicine, animal genetics, bio-fuels, crop sciences and irrigation.
As a gift to Governor Quinn and the people of Illinois, the Governor of the State of Mexico is bringing a 70-person symphony – the Orquesta Sinfónica del Estado de México under conductor Enrique Bátiz. The symphony will play a free concert at Benito Juárez Community Academy at 6:30pm on Monday, Feb. 10, 2014. The concert will be open to the public. Benito Juárez Community Academy High School is located at 1450-1510 W. Cermak Rd. Chicago, 60608.
On Feb. 11, the day before Abraham Lincoln's 205th birthday, Governors Ávila and Quinn will travel to Springfield to visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. The highlight will be a special theatrical production of "Of Mutual Interest: Lincoln and Mexico," a reenactment of the fateful meeting in 1861 when Matías Romero – Mexican President Juárez's envoy – met President-elect Lincoln to seal a friendship between their two nations.
That evening, Governor Quinn will host a reception for Governor Ávila at the Illinois Executive Mansion.
Governor Ávila has been the Governor of the state of Mexico since 2011. He was twice elected Mayor of Ecatepec de Morelos and was a deputy of the state of Mexico's Congress. He is an attorney who has authored a book about constitutional law in Mexico. The state of Mexico is Mexico's most populous (16.2 million residents) and most industrialized state.
Governor Quinn has vowed to make Illinois the "most welcoming state" in the United States, and has often noted the friendship between Juárez and Lincoln. Last year, Governor Quinn declared March 21 as "Benito Juárez Day" across Illinois. Mexico is Illinois' second-largest trading partner. With sales of $8.2 billion, Illinois is the third largest agricultural exporter in the United States, and the country of Mexico is one of Illinois' most loyal agricultural trading partners. Since 2010, the country of Mexico has purchased $1.9 billion in agricultural products from Illinois, including $780 million in 2012 alone, making it the state's third largest agricultural export market.
Governor Quinn was the first Illinois governor to visit Mexico in 13 years and only the fourth U.S. governor to visit Mexico since 2005. There are now 1.6 million people in Illinois of Mexican origin, about one in eight Illinois residents. Mexico and Illinois have had a sister state relationship since 1990.

With the new Super Rugby season looming large on the horizon we take a look at each of the 15 competitors. Next up, the Highlanders!
With the new Super Rugby season looming large on the horizon we take a look at each of the 15 competitors. Next up, the Highlanders!
Last Year: 2012 was a good year for the Highlanders, who finished with a winning record in the competition largely thanks to a blistering start where they picked up seven wins out of their first nine matches. In fact, after four narrow victories over sides including the future champions the Chiefs and also the Crusaders, the Highlanders were top of the table. A brilliant 36-33 victory over the Cheetahs at the end of April was arguably the highlight of their campaign, because although victory followed against the Bulls a three-game losing streak in the final stretch killed off their play-off ambitions in a congested New Zealand conference, the 51-8 hammering they received from the Crusaders in Christchurch signalling the beginning of the end to a promising campaign.
This year: Recruitment of some wise older heads has given the Highlanders a stronger feel ahead of the new campaign, handing them an outside chance of making the play-offs. Hardening up their tight five with Tony Woodcock and Brad Thorn will provide that extra niggle in the close matches, whilst they an exciting pair of young half-backs in the form of Aaron Smith and Colin Slade. Coach Jamie Joseph couldn't ask for a better start than taking on the champion Chiefs at home in their first game of the season. With the Cheetahs and then the Hurricanes set to visit Dunedin afterwards, another early run of results is possible.
Hosting the Reds, Brumbies and Sharks will give the Highlanders a crucial advantage over their potential playoff rivals too, meaning the fixture list is certainly in their favour.
Players to watch: Few captains come in more abrasive shapes or forms than Andrew Hore – a veteran whose high level of respect amongst his peers is well earned. The experience around him will only be strengthened by the inclusion of Woodcock and Thorn, compensating for the loss of All Blacks flanker Adam Thomson to Japan. Ma'a Nonu is the biggest recruit however and the All Black adds an attacking edge to the Highlanders midfield – a battering ram to make space for the potent back-three trio of Hosea Gear, Kade Poki and the vastly underrated Ben Smith. All in all, this is a strong squad.
Noteworthy signings: Tony Woodcock (Blues), Brad Thorn (Fukuoka Sanix Blues), Jason Emery (Manuwatu), Ma'a Nonu (Blues), Trent Renata (Waikato), Declan O'Donnell (Chiefs)
Noteworthy losses: Kurt Baker, Jimmy Cowan, James Haskell, Kendrick Lynn, Chris Noakes, Callum Retallick, Jason Rutledge, Adam Thomson.
Prospects: Promising. Keep all the older heads fit and the Highlanders are certainly capable of a playoff position – but going all the way appears to be a leap too far. Lessons will have been learned from the explosive start the Highlanders made last year before fading at the death, and the addition of Nonu in the centre adds a touch of class to proceedings. The key will be how Smith and Slade handle the pressure of big matches – both are continuing to mature and with Jimmy Cowan and Chris Noakes now departed, this is their chance. Based on a competitive front five unit and a convenient fixture list that will help them along the further the season progresses, don't be surprised if the Highlanders make a late charge for the wildcard places.

Brown Eyecolor
Description: Deep hazelnut
Texture: Sheen
Size: Small
Borrow some beauty from our lady Mother Nature, capturing the pure pigments of stone, seed, and soil. Rich and velvety, these subdued shades, including Java, Cocoa, and Clay, let you emphasize your eyes with understated oomph.
Size: Small (0.57 g / 0.02 Oz.)
Texture Guide
Matte: Our most opaque eyeshadow. Incredibly creamy color with a rich, velvety finish.
Sheen: Satiny soft and sheer with a touch of glow. Wear it dry for whisper effects, or wet for a more opaque sheen.
Shimmer: High intensity shimmer. Can be softer and more translucent when worn dry, but creates an opaque wash of high sheen-known as foiling-when worn wet.
- Vibrant, long-lasting colors can be mixed and matched for custom combinations
- Offer your choice of textures, from sheer to opaque
- All-natural consistency makes them easy to apply and blend seamlessly
- Add rich, eye-illuminating accents
- Use a 100% pure blend of natural minerals
- Preservative-free to prevent eye irritation
- Won't pull or tug at the sensitive skin around your eyes
Looking for something softly sophisticated?
Try using two Eyecolors in the same shade family. Starting from the inner eye, apply the lighter shade halfway across, using an eye brush such as our Heavenly Shadow Brush. Then complete the outer portion of the lid with the darker shade.
Double your options.
You can use most of our Eyecolors wet or dry for different looks. Dampening the brush provides a more striking, opaque application, while using it dry creates a softer look.

- Removes hair from legs, arms, face and body
- Exfoliates the skin
- Leaves skin smooth and silky
- Eliminates nicks, cuts and razor stubble

- About the brand
clean+easy Personal Roll-On Waxer is a home version of our professional waxing spa.
Triethylene Glycol Hydrogenated Rosinate, Glyceryl Hydrogenated Rosinate, Beeswax, Methylparabeno, Propilparaben.
Read instructions thoroughly before using.
Before using any new product on your skin, always patch test on a small, less noticeable section of the area you are going to wax, like the inside of your thigh. If there is no adverse reaction after 24 hours, you may continue.
For over 10 years, clean + easy hair has been one of the leading hair removal systems for spa and personal use. Offering everything from microwavable waxes to electrolysis, hair removal has never been so clean + easy!
Clean+easy Is Actually Gross & ImpossibleI bought this from a beauty supply store who swore that it was a great product, "if you know how to use wax." Well, I've been paying someone else to wax me for about 10 years now, and have done it myself a number of times without any problem UNTIL I tried this stuff.
It doesn't seem the warmer gets the wax to the right temperature. I would plug it in for over two hours, and then I could use the cartridge for half an hour at the most before it would harden again. But it was never comfortable, and after about 10 minutes of use it was actually more painful to try to drag the wax over my skin than it was to rip multiple hairs out by the root. The rolling part was a big part of the problem too - it seemed to me the wax cooled down too much when passing through it. It would get gummed up and be unusable. I placed the cartridge in the warmer immediately after applying wax, so it's not like it was sitting around cooling down. It just isn't a good system.
The wax is awful! I tried a few different oils, and scrubbing in the shower (which is never comfortable nor a good idea after waxing, and definitely not after the misery that getting the wax on in the first place is with this system) but it usually took about THREE DAYS for the stuff to finally completely get off my skin. Disgusting!
I'm giving two stars instead of the 1 I really feel it deserves because I think that MAYBE if you were in a very warm room and you have a higher body temperature than I do, or if you had a fever? then this system might work kind of okay, I guess. Overall, though, I'd say spend your money elsewhere. I jumped ship for the Satin Smooth Nice N' Neat system, which works fantastically.Jan 3, 2011Alanna / California

Wax Does Not Heat Up.I have had this waxing system for almost 8 years (when it was the Sally Hansen brand you could buy at the grocery store). The wax would get super hot, the roller would roll easily, and it was perfect. A few months ago, the heating element stopped working (not bad after having it for seven years!), so I bought the clean+easy from folica. It does NOT heat up AT ALL. I left it plugged in for TWO DAYS and it was still unbearable to try and spread the wax onto my underarms. I've decided to keep the unit with the roller top off of the wax and use a wooden strip to spread. So very disappointing.Dec 18, 2010Leah

FrustratedI have been using this system for years from another company.I bought my own unit 6 months ago .I use it on professional level but last night went to use it and it is dead cold.The unit is on,the on light is red and i used it yesterday and it was fine.I did turn it off yesterday. So very frustrated and disappointed.Does any one have an idea what happened.Can i still return it.Let me know!

So DisappointingI was thrilled to identify this product! and ordered one for me and one for my daughter. I tried mine, and discovered that the heating element did not work well. I tried the other one, just in case it was an exception, but sure enough! neither worked well. I later checked the remarks (too bad I didn't do this previously) and noted others have had similar complaints.
I looked for another similar product by another manufacturer and found one that received good reviews, however, the refills were not available. I wrote an Email to folica to make sure that this was the case, and never heard back. Was very disappointed.
I will have to return both units.Sep 28, 2010Pamela P. / Chicago

Does Not Get Hot EnoughI understand now why some of the reviewers had problems with this. After leaving in plugged in overnight it still was not hot enough to spread. I have an older model (10+ yrs old) and thought having a second one would speed up the time it takes due to waiting for the wax to re-heat after a few passes. I have found that if the cover is not on, the roller isn't hot enough for the wax to roll out smoothly... But... on the new model the roller just doesn't get hot enough and the wax clumps up and doesn't allow the roller to roll. I am returning it.Apr 28, 2010Mary

WaxerI have used this product for over 10 years now and LOVE it. I leave mine plugged in all the time so its always ready for any touch-ups that maybe necessary and still have the original warmer that is still working great. Until recently I was able to get 2oz refills, not sure why they stopped that, now you have to buy refill kit that has a few cloths and new roller head for a lot more money per refill. Would love to find just the refill 3 pack 2oz again.Mar 25, 2010Vickie

Doesnt Heat WellI used Clean+Easy microwavable roll-on wax for years and then just months ago, they took it off the market, leaving only this kit and the small refills (which are not intended for microwave use). After more than an hour, the wax had not melted to a usable consistency. So, I tossed the warmer and popped the wax refill in the microwave anyway for 20-30 seconds at a time until it heated up enough to use. Granted, the bottle was not as thick as the microwavable container (so be careful!) but the wax formula is the same, as far as I can tell. It's still a disappointment because there is less product in these "refill rollers" and they are $1 more expensive.Mar 25, 2010Boobookatie / New Mexico

Great WaxerFor the people who are saying it doesn't heat up in 2 hours...leave it plugged in overnight. It gets PLENTY hot. I never have wax residue after using. I think some people are unfamiliar with how to use the strips. READ THE DIRECTIONS! This is a fabulous waxer. I have used it for over 8 years with no problems. I've only had to buy more wax once and buy more strips once was well. Love this waxer!!Dec 9, 2009Jeannie

A punt, pass and kick competition turned into a very profitable event for one Emery County man. The Emery softball team used the event as a fundraiser at the football games. Steven Gordon, Jason Hiatt, Moge Cologie and Leon McElprang were some of the participants. Names were drawn from all those who purchased tickets to participate in the event. They would pass the ball from the goal line, then punt and then they would have to kick a field goal from where the pass landed.
Steven Gordon put his skills to the test as he got off a fairly good punt, a wobbly pass, but then a field goal that went through the uprights to earn him a check for $5,000. The field goal was from the 22 yard line. The check recently arrived and was presented by assistant softball coach Shaun Bell and Tyler Jeffs from Farm Bureau Financial that insured the event. Gordon said his wife already has the money spent as they are building a new house. Bell said they hope to do the event again during next year's football season to raise money for softball.

Hundreds Attend MLK Peace Walk; Honor Local Volunteer
Hundreds of people crowded the streets of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard this morning.
Every race, color, sexual orientation, standing united, bearing the freezing air to march in memory of Doctor King.
It was all part of the annual Martin Luther King Peace Walk.
"[We're] Celebrating somebody who gave us practically a voice for people who weren't able to stand up for themselves; he did it for us," said Maira Prieto.
For some, it feels like a culmination of the past few decades, having MLK Jr. day fall on the same day as the President's inaguration ceremony.
"Just to watch the inaguration address on the television and then come to the march, and to see everybody together, walking hand in hand," said Doris Burton, "I think it was all in the plan"
Following the walk, people gathered at the Yakima Convention Center to honor longtime resident, Al Bradley, who accepted the MLK Jr. Service Award today"
For over 40 years, 80 year old Bradley, a Korean War vet, has volunteered his time in the community through coaching youth sports, and helping other seniors his age -- Bradley says his contribution is only a small fraction of what he hopes to inspire the rest of the community to do.
"It's up to all of us to keep the dream alive," said Bradley, "And if we want a better community, get out from behind those doors, and get out into the street. Talk to the people that are out here, talk to the kids that are out here. That's how you make a difference. "
And to keep that dream alive, and make that difference, many like Bradley agree that it starts with our youth.
"My grandchildren, others grandchildren need to know; unity is what we must accomplish," said Miz.Dee, "Together we stand, and divided we will fall."

Each ReNew Life Ultimate Flora Ultra Potent 100 Billion capsule contains 100 Billion live cultures comprised of 12 GPS Probiotic strains to support the upper and lower intestinal tract including 6 strains of Lacto GPS Strains and 6 Bifido GPS Strains. Vibrant health depends on properly balanced gastrointestinal flora. Many factors, such as age, diet, antibiotic-use, stress and lifestyle can upset this balance. ReNew Life Ultimate Flora Ultra Potent 100 BillionMaximum Potency, Once Daily Probiotic for Potent Digestive Relief 100 Billion live probiotic cultures per capsule 12 Strain GPS Probiotic Blend (Gastrointestinal Probiotic Strains) Restores digestive balance and regularity Helps relieve complex digestive disruptions Dairy and Gluten Free Potency guaranteed until expiration Frequently Asked Questions What Are Probiotics?There are literally trillions of microorganisms in the human digestive tract. Some are beneficial, some are harmful, and some are neutral. Probiotics are the good type of bacteria that help crowd out the harmful bacteria in order to keep you healthy. This is important because more than 70 percent of your immune defenses can be found in your digestive tract.Ideally, there should be about 80 percent good/neutral bacteria to about 20 percent harmful bacteria in your gut. However, everyday factors such as diet, stress, travel, exposure to illness and even the use of certain medications can diminish the number of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract and upset an otherwise balanced intestinal environment. This allows unhealthy microbes to flourish and may lead to intestinal issues such as diarrhea and constipation, as well as a decline in healthy immune function. Taking a daily probiotic supplement can help replenish good bacteria and restore a healthy bacterial balance. What Are the Benefits of Probiotics?Probiotics provide a multitude of benefits for the whole body. By helping to maintain a balanced intestinal environment, they enhance digestion and help prevent occasional irritable bowel, diarrhea, constipation and other digestive issues. They also help to ferment soluble fiber in the gut, which in turn produces a short-chain fatty acid called butyric acid that helps to nourish healthy colon cells and promote bowel regularity.Vital to a healthy immune system, probiotics produce antibacterial compounds and acids that help support the growth of good bacteria in the gut and inhibit the growth of potentially harmful bacteria. As a result, they help to improve overall immune function.Probiotics also help your body absorb valuable nutrients from food during the digestive process. In addition, they play a key role in the manufacturing of needed vitamins (including B12 and K) and provide nourishment for healthy intestinal cells. Can I Get Enough Good Bacteria Just by Eating Yogurt?Well, you would have to eat a lot of yogurt. In truth, you would need to consume dozens of canisters of yogurt daily to obtain the amount of beneficial probiotics in a high-potency probiotics supplement. What Should I Look for in an Effective Probiotic Supplement?One of the most important things to look for is high culture count (i.e. the number of "active" or "live" cultures in a formula). Choose a supplement with at least 6 billion active cultures (per single serving) for daily maintenance, and on up to 200 billion cultures per serving for advanced digestive and immune support.It is also important that your supplement contain multiple strains of probiotic bacteria, as this will provide a wide range of benefits throughout the entire digestive system. For example, for those with frequent digestive troubles such as irritable bowel, constipation or diarrhea, a probiotic with high levels of Bifidobacteria is recommended, as Bifidobacteria is the most prevalent good bacteria in the large intestine (or colon).Finally, your probiotic supplement should have an effective delivery system. This refers to how effectively the capsule or caplet is protected as it travels through the digestive system. Capsules may be enteric-protected, for example, to shield the probiotics from harsh stomach acid and help deliver them safely to the intestines where they are needed most. Are Probiotics Safe for Children?Yes. Infants actually receive their first beneficial bacteria during the birthing process, and supplying additional probiotics throughout the early years has been shown to provide significant benefits for overall digestive and immune health. Powdered formulas and chewable tablets are available for infants and toddlers. Why Do I Hear So Much about Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria?In a healthy intestinal tract, Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli make up the majority of the healthy bacterial cells residing there. Bifidobacteria are the most prevalent good bacteria in the large intestine (colon), and they account for up to 25 percent of the total probiotics in your body. Lactobacilli are the most prevalent good bacteria in the small intestine as well as the vaginal tract. They are especially important for women because they produce beneficial compounds that help fight the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast. ReNew Life Company HistoryReNew Life Formulas, Inc. was founded in 1997 by Brenda Watson and her husband Stan Watson. Having waged her own battle with poor health early on, it was Brenda's personal experience that inspired her to create a company based on the natural healing methods that helped restore her well being. She began by establishing five successful natural healthcare clinics, but soon came to a pivotal realization: there simply weren't any products available to provide the quality digestive support her patients needed. Her solution was to take on the challenge herself. Armed with her valuable insight and experience, she began formulating her own line of natural supplements using only pure, raw ingredients found in nature. The results were astounding. Her patients saw a significant improvement in their health, and their overwhelming progress further fueled Brenda's passion and has made ReNew Life what it is today. The ReNew Life MissionThe ReNew Life mission is to empower each and every one of their valued customers with the knowledge to improve overall health through optimum digestive function and superior nutrition. They accomplish this goal by providing safe and effective natural solutions to digestive care issues through their innovative product line and continued commitment to education. Improving Lives Through EducationReNew Life is committed to providing the tools necessary to improve the health of people everywhere. Each day brings new breakthroughs in the field of natural digestive care and functional nutrition, and their consumer helpdesk, staffed by experts, is readily accessible to answer questions and give digestive care advice about any of their products. The Quality DifferenceReNew Life is committed to providing the highest-quality natural digestive care products to improve people's well being.

Each ingredient is then subject to their rigorous screening process, which combines the latest in advanced testing technologies, including atomic absorption, high-pressure liquid chromatography, and shelf-stability analysis. Perhaps as important as the ingredients that are in the products are the ingredients that are not in the products: excipients such as binders, fillers, disintegrates or other chemicals or artificial ingredients that work against the body's natural cleansing and detoxification processes. Only after ReNew Life ingredients have been carefully examined and assigned a Certificate of Analysis by their suppliers are they incorporated into the production process. Welcome to ReNew Life FormulasYour Complete Digestive Care CompanyFor more than a decade ReNew Life company has been making superior-quality products and functional foods using only the purest ingredients found in nature.

All three menorahs are made with round vases purchased from a dollar store with a big square vase as the shamash.
Snowflake Menorah:
These snowflakes are decorative seasonal items that we just pushed into the vases. (The same idea could be applied with different items that fit into your color scheme or theme.) The big vase is filled with cellophane. To cover the big vase, we simply took a glass from a 4×6 picture frame, placed it on top, and added a candle. The tea lights in the small vases are placed on top of 3D snowflakes.
Turquoise Menorah:
The bottom vases are filled with craft beads that expand in water, and the small vases on top give the impression of menorah oil cups, and are filled with water and food coloring. They have floating candles at the top.
Floral menorah:
This was made by putting flowers in water with cellophane to help keep their position. This also gives an "ice" effect to the water. The top of each candle was made with tea lights, surrounded by cranberries. The top of the shamash is a simple candle on a piece of glass from a 4×6 picture frame.

"This shoe is so incredibly narrow, I couldn't even get it on. I felt like one of Cinderella's step sisters trying to stuff her foot into the glass slipper; and honestly, my foot isn't even that wide. So, just a warning to anyone that wants this shoe, unless your foot is more narrow than average, don't bother with this shoe."

The home improvement chain brought in $757.5 million in online sales, Internet Retailer estimates.
Stefany Zaroban
It was a strong year for Lowe's Co. Inc.'s online channel, as the merchant boosted e-commerce sales more than 50% in 2012, CEO Robert Niblock told analysts at the UBS Global Conference last week.
Lowe's, No. 47 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, did not say exactly what its online sales were in its most recent earnings release. But Internet Retailer estimates the web accounted for around 1.5% of the home improvement retailer's total sales in 2012, or $757.5 million. That would represent a 51.5% increase from $500.0 million in 2011, which was also an Internet Retailer estimate. Much of that growth was driven by an increased availability of products online, as well as an increase in conversion, he said.
"Conversion rate was up, and we also dramatically expanded the number of items that we have out there Niblock said. "We're over 600,000 now, I think. So tremendous opportunity there." Last year, Lowe's had 250,000 SKUs available online, according to data in the Top 500 Guide.
Lowe's says it is getting ready to upgrade its e-commerce technology and improve its site search, though it did not elaborate on whether it was planning to change its e-commerce platform provider. The retailer currently uses the IBM Websphere platform.
The retailer also says it is pleased with MyLowe's, a loyalty program it launched in mid-2011. MyLowe's allows online shoppers to set up a profile that keeps track of shopping lists, organizes owner's manuals and warranties, and consolidates inspirational pictures for upcoming projects. Each profile is linked to a MyLowe's card that can be requested online or picked up in any store, so all online and in-store orders are tracked when store shoppers swipe the card at checkout or web customers enter their username and password. Nearly seven million customers have registered for the program, Lowe's says.
"We're seeing great receptivity from the consumer," Niblock told analysts. "Right now, we're willing to continue to grow awareness and bring more unique customers in to get registered so they fully understand the benefits associated with it. And then down the road, we've got additional features that we want to add."
In its most recent earnings release, for the fiscal year ended Feb. 1, 2013, Lowe's reported:
For the fourth quarter, the merchant also posted:

New Article: Prefetching
By rchrd on Jun 27, 2007
Prefetching Pragmas and IntrinsicsDiane Meirowitz, Senior Staff Engineer, and Spiros Kalogeropulos, Staff Engineer, June, 2007
Explicit data prefetching pragmas and intrinsics for the x86 platform and additional pragmas and intrinscs for the SPARC platform are now available in Sun Studio 12 compilers, released June 2007.
Prefetch instructions can increase the speed of an application substantially by bringing data into cache so that it is available when the processor needs it. This benefits performance because today's processors are so fast that it is difficult to bring data into them quickly enough to keep them busy, even with hardware prefetching and multiple levels of data cache.
The compilers have several options that enable them to generate prefetch instructions automatically:
-xprefetch, -xprefetch_level, and
(described below). The compilers generally do an excellent job of
inserting prefetch instructions, and this is the most portable and best
way to use prefetch. If finer control of prefetching is desired,
prefetch pragmas or intrinsics can be used. Note that the performance
benefit due to prefetch instructions is hardware-dependent and
prefetches which improve performance on one chip may not have the same
effect on a different chip. It is a good idea to study the instruction
reference manual for the target hardware before inserting prefetch
pragmas or intrinsics. Furthermore, the Sun Studio Performance Analyzer
can be used to identify the cache misses of an application.
