Friendly and helpful. Could have charged me what was quoted, but it ended up being a cheaper fix so we're really honest too. Taking the car back for a service and MOT after Christmas.
Excellent service provided. Good communication of progress and completion. Follow up call to endure I had received text messages. Only did and charged for what was required to be done..Coutessy car was ideal.
Great customer service and very friendly. Repaired the car very quickly and efficiently. Would definitely recommend to others!
took it in about 1/2 hour early, was no problem connected to the machine and all done in 45 mins. very pleased with the service and friendly staff. WELL RECOMMENDED!!!
Brilliant, No problems or surprises.
Really professional service with a lovely friendly touch - total customer satisfaction! Not only did Emma Little come and collect my car to take it to the garage, they phoned to tell me that the rear brakes did not need replacing (as I had originally thought). They cleaned up and re-assembled the parts on the rear and just changed the front discs and pads. Consequently, the bill was cheaper than anticipated and that included checking the tracking which I hadn't originally asked them to quote for. The car was returned in the evening with all the work completed. I can't fault this garage and would recommend them fully. I will be going back to get the MOT done in May!

1. "I'm using your house to sell myself."
U.S. home prices have rebounded to mid-2004 levels, according to the latest S&P/Case-Shiller home price survey, and though monthly gains are slowing, this spring — traditionally the prime home-buying season — looks to be a sellers' market.
That's good news for real-estate agents as well. A 2013 National Association of Realtors member survey showed that agents' $34,000 median annual income last year reflected a level not seen since 2006, just before the U.S. housing boom went bust; incomes in 2012 were up 37% from 2010.
But while most agents are hardworking professionals, buyers and sellers may encounter some agents who see only the "me" in home.
To get a listing, some agents tell dazzling stories about houses they've sold in your area. They'll promise to splash photos of your home across the advertising pages of glossy magazines and blanket your neighborhood with direct mail to lure move-up buyers.
Critics say these agents are great marketers — of themselves. Photos in real-estate circulars "market the agent," says Karen Krupsaw, vice president of real-estate operations at brokerage website Redfin. Mailers generate interest in the neighborhood — not the home. "It's an avenue [brokers take] to generate business for themselves — using your house," she says.
Why home owners fall prey to the money illusion
Many home buyers are victims of money illusion: They believe they are doing better if they sell their home for a higher dollar amount than they bought it, even if inflation eats the gains. Photo: Anna Parini.
Furthermore, just because an agent does a lot of business, that doesn't necessarily mean his clients were happy with his work, Krupsaw says. Indeed, the Council of Better Business Bureaus reports that consumer complaints against agents nationwide rose 22% in 2012 over the previous year.
The real estate website Trulia advises sellers to ask an agent how long their recent listings stayed on the market before selling, and compare that to the neighborhood's history. Find out the average sale price compared with the average listing price of the homes they've sold. And ask how many other sellers the agent currently represents.
This way, buyers and sellers alike stand a better chance of enlisting an agent who'll works for them — both in terms of a personality fit and a willingness to roll up their sleeves, real-estate insiders say.

Douglas Florian loves writing about animals. With poetry and painting, Florian illustrates the natural world around us. In his newest book, UnBEElievables, the picture-book creator takes us inside a honeybee hive. But don't worry—you won't get stung! Each poem is paired with a colorful image that illustrates a different type of bee and its role in the colony. From the worker bees to the drones to the queen bee herself, every page is full of fun and interesting facts about these social insects.
How do you create your illustrations?
I like to try different mediums, predominantly watercolor, colored pencils and gouache paints. Gouache is a very thick type of paint. All the paintings and drawings for UnBEElievables were done on paper bags from the grocery store. I love the texture of them and how well they work for collaging.
When brainstorming for a story, which comes first: the images or the poems?
Usually the poems come first. For a book of 21 poems, for example, I'll actually write about 50 poems first. Although I sometimes have images in my mind to go along with the words, I have to choose which ones I want to include in the book.
Many of your books, including UnBEElievables, are about insects and animals. How did these become your favorite subjects?
There is so much variety and humor in the animal kingdom. People have a lot of knowledge about animals and collective ideas about animals that are fun to explore in writing. Animals are just so interesting. When I research, I find out so many new and amazing facts. The poem is often half written by the time I am done with my research.
Why did you choose bees as the subject of your newest book?
I saw recently in the news that many bee colonies are dying out. Scientists believe this to be caused by various diseases. I wanted to create awareness and learn more about bees after hearing this. So many of the fruits and vegetables we eat are dependent on pollination by honeybees. If bees disappear, so will much of our food.
Do you have a favorite bee?
One of my favorites is the poem and painting about the worker bees. I wanted the painting to be very playful and light. These bees have to work all day in the hive, and it's kind of like a factory. I like the texture of this illustration and the way it seems to be humming. And even though these bees have to work very hard, they manage to smile.

This is a knee jerk reaction. It would have bumped up had Romney been elected then would have settled back down.
You have really become an inspiration. First you are quoting to us from some gobbledygook scripture...and now you are attributing a story about some Democrat investors activities to Dick Morris??? His name is nowhere to be found in that story...but then who among us has the power to read between the lines like the great Franco. All we need to do is follow his book on football to find such an omniscient talent as he.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Dow futures are down 40 this morning. It seems clear investor confidence is shaken! We are looking at a 4% increase in capital gains tax to fund healthcare. It seems clear another 5% will be added by the first of the year. At least in the short term, there are very few investments that can come close to returning 9% in this business environment. A sell off is imminent. With no expectations of retirement, I will ride out the next few years. However my % of cash is much higher than normal. Not into gold yet but that investment looks better all the time.
Companies have billions of dollars in cash. Much of it held overseas to avoid our corporate tax system. If money is brought back it will be taxed at the corporate rate, then if issued to shareholders as a dividend, it will be taxed again. No incentive whatsoever to put it to work in the United States.
Small businesses are faced with healthcare legislation they do not understand. Hard to plan for the game if you don't understand the rules. Hiring is on hold or on a part time as needed basis.
I don't have solutions but feel I have defined some of the problems.

The solution is simple. Quit spending more money than you take in. But that will never, ever happen. In 4 years, our debt will be north of $20 trillion... if we don't implode beforehand.
The idea that the economy has/will improve with deficit spending and our massive, massive debt is laughable. What the keynesians are doing is simply economic sodomy, and they're doing one hell of a job.
We live in Cuba now.

And just tells us from your all-knowing perch...just what the hayel are you doing besides flapping your gums and whining. Are you in the process of forming that party that will cut the budget? Are you developing a plan to enhance the possibilities of gathering more votes for that forgotten candidate. Or, for that matter, does your candidate even have anyone in Congress that would vote for his and your views? Or should we just expect you to constantly bring up your sour-grapes platform of do-nothing-politics.
It takes more than a "want-to", or someone saying what they 'would' do...hellsbells we have a plethora of them. As we do with the gullible fools that can be herded into becoming the sheeple of this country...no apparent knowledge of getting sheared...and thinking they will be taken care of forever. You can continue to be critical of all, but most of us just wonder when your whining will stop?

Report finds lots of spending, little results in rebuilding Iraq
By Lara Jakes
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Ten years and $60 billion in American taxpayer funds later, Iraq is still so unstable and broken that even its leaders question whether U.S. efforts to rebuild the war-torn nation were worth the cost.
In his final report to Congress, Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Stuart Bowens conclusion was all too clear: Since the invasion a decade ago this month, the U.S. has spent too much money in Iraq for too few results.
The reconstruction effort grew to a size much larger than was ever anticipated, Bowen told the Associated Press in a preview of his last audit of U.S. funds spent in Iraq, to be released Wednesday, March 6.
Not enough was accomplished for the size of the funds expended.
In interviews with Bowen, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said the U.S. funding could have brought great change in Iraq but fell short too often. There was misspending of money, said al-Maliki, a Shiite Muslim whose sect makes up about 60 percent of Iraqs population.
Iraqi Parliament Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi, the countrys top Sunni Muslim official, told auditors that the rebuilding efforts had unfavorable outcomes in general.
You think if you throw money at a problem, you can fix it, Kurdish government official Qubad Talabani, son of Iraqi president Jalal Talabani, told auditors. It was just not strategic thinking.
The abysmal Iraq results forecast what could happen in Afghanistan, where U.S. taxpayers have so far spent $90 billion in reconstruction projects during a 12-year military campaign that, for the most part, ends in 2014.
Shortly after the March 2003 invasion, Congress set up a $2.4 billion fund to help ease the sting of war for Iraqis. It aimed to rebuild Iraqs water and electricity systems; provide food, health care and governance for its people; and take care of those who were forced from their homes in the fighting.
Fewer than six months later, President George W. Bush asked for $20 billion more to further stabilize Iraq and help turn it into an ally that could gain economic independence and reap global investments.
To date, the U.S. has spent more than $60 billion in reconstruction grants to help Iraq get back on its feet after the country that has been broken by more than two decades of war, sanctions and dictatorship.
That works out to about $15 million a day.
And yet Iraqs government is rife with corruption and infighting. Baghdads streets are still cowed by near-daily deadly bombings. A quarter of the countrys 31 million population lives in poverty, and few have reliable electricity and clean water.
Overall, including all military and diplomatic costs and other aid, the U.S. has spent at least $767 billion since the American- led invasion, according to the Congressional Budget Office. National Priorities Project, a U. S. research group that analyzes federal data, estimated the cost at $811 billion, noting that some funds are still being spent on ongoing projects.
Sen. Susan Collins, a member of the Senate committee that oversees U.S. funding, said the Bush administration should have agreed to give the reconstruction money to Iraq as a loan in 2003 instead as an outright gift.
Its been an extraordinarily disappointing effort and, largely, a failed program, Collins, R-Maine, said in an interview Tuesday. I believe, had the money been structured as a loan in the first place, that we would have seen a far more responsible approach to how the money was used, and lower levels of corruption in far fewer ways.
In too many cases, Bowen concluded, U.S. officials did not consult with Iraqis closely or deeply enough to determine what reconstruction projects were really needed or, in some cases, wanted. As a result, Iraqis took limited interest in the work, often walking away from half-finished programs, refusing to pay their share, or failing to maintain completed projects once they were handed over.
The Afghanistan effort risks falling into the same problems that mired Iraq if oversight isnt coordinated better. In Iraq, officials were too eager to build in the middle of a civil war, and too often raced ahead without solid plans or back-up plans.
Most of the work was done in piecemeal fashion. The State Department, for example, was supposed to oversee reconstruction strategy starting in 2004, but controlled only about 10 percent of the money at stake. The vast majority of the projects were paid for by the Defense Department.

"The first date" unique watercolor of M. Asher

Original watercolor "The first date" of English artist Margaret AsherWatercolor on paper. Size 17x23in (42x58cm) Watercolor will be delivered into beautiful frame, mat and glass in protective packing. You can choose green or blue mat for this unique and funny watercolor. Shipping is free through express mail.
About artist: Asher Margaret (1920 - 1997) Watercolors of Margaret Asher is a marvelous sample of English humor of a life of old England at the beginning of the 20th century. The fashionable aristocratic resort where sisters Asher spent the most part of the life, gave many such possibilities. The Asher sisters, Margaret and Elizabeth, were born at the beginning of the 20th century in England in the resort town of Bath. The sisters themselves were from a well-to-do family and have been well educated, including the art education. Each watercolor of Margaret Asher is as a small sketch of a life of typical small English town and its suburbs. You can see here both the postman, and the policeman, and respectable inhabitants... But all of them are fishes... Yes, yes, fishes! Margaret Asher drew the heroes as fishes. Very respectable fishes, it is necessary to tell. Each of them has the character, and often dressed in the latest fashion of that time, goes on a tail. And we see all scale of the human feelings inherent in the person on it muzzle, more precisely, on the face. Probably, it was easier to her to draw the neighbors and acquaintances in such kind. Today it seems that Margaret has lived all her life among these respectable fishes, instead of respectable Englishmen... Artists Margaret and Elizabeth Asher have lived the long life, they have stopped to draw at the turn of the ninetieth years of the last century.

I had heard that Hasbro were looking to produce an Imperial Shuttle with 2 exclusive figures. Personally I don't think this is true as the cost would be too high and Episode 2 is near.
Also I hope they don't as I bought a loose vintage one for around $150.
Does anyone else know of any speculated figures being released?

The past seventy years have taught Americans that nuclear weapons can promote stability, but Israel learned a different lesson. While scholars and policy makers in Western capitals contemplate containment scenarios in Iran, Israeli leaders defiantly state: before containment, we will choose preemption.
For containment advocates, Israel's insistence seems combative and hegemonic. Astute scholars such as Robert Jervis argue that a nuclear Iran might not be disastrous at all, and if handled correctly, may even stabilize the region. After all, North Korea became nuclear, and no nuclear arms race or war has resulted. A nuclear standoff between Israel and Iran, the line goes, would instill more caution into these regional rivals, as has happened between India and Pakistan or the two Cold War superpowers.
But in Israel, a different history was written. In their region, the Cold War wasn't cold at all, but rather an era of bloody proxy wars against Soviet-backed Arab countries. Regardless, Israelis are predisposed to believe that their enemies are irrationally bent on destroying the Jewish state, even at the face of nuclear retaliation. For Israelis, their country is too small to comply with existing mutual-deterrence models, because only two or three bombs are what it would take to wipe out their entire country.

By Bill Minor
JACKSON – My happiest national news item at year's end was word that former President George H. W. Bush, one of my fellow World War II Navy veterans, had been released from intensive care for a nagging bronchial condition but remained in a Houston hospital. A number of other well-known WWII vets had not been as fortunate last year.
My affinity with Bush – a.k.a. 41 (being the 41st President) – has virtually nothing to do with his politics. It stems from us both being young Navy officers (I, a little older) who served together aboard ships in Task Force 38 in the heat of the America's naval air war in the Pacific. Bush was a carrier-based pilot of a cumbersome Avenger torpedo-bomber and I a gunnery officer on a destroyer (USS Stephen Potter). We DDs guarded the carriers and one of our missions was to be assigned to rescue downed pilots or crewmen from our fleet. (Once, strangely, we were detached to investigate a downed Japanese pilot bobbing on the sea after being spotted by a scout plane. We located him – his yellow scarf streaming from his helmet – and were approaching to see if he was alive or dead, when suddenly from the ship's bridge came a burst of machine gun fire, ripping the pilot to shreds. A veteran quartermaster stationed on the bridge had grabbed a Tommy gun kept on the bridge and without saying a word wreaked his own vengeance against a perceived enemy. (Our captain didn't think well of it, locking the sailor in our makeshift brig.)
Our rescue duty is how Bush and I well could have seen our WWII experience more closely intersected in the broad expanse of the Pacific. Bush's plane with its three-member crew was hit by AA fire in September, 1944 off Chichi Jima in the Bonin Islands on a bombing raid. Then barely 20 years old (believed to be the youngest commissioned pilot in the Naval Air Corps) Bush bailed out and parachuted into the sea, later picked up by the submarine Finback. His radioman and tail gunner, however, did not survive. It was only one of those quirks of fate that the Potter which was operating in that general area, was not detached to join the search for the Bush plane.
That his two crewmen died and he survived doubtless bothered Bush in later years, as he once admitted to a TV interviewer during his successful 1988 presidential race. Although it never became a campaign issue, questions were raised by some writers in Bush's 1992 reelection bid– especially in an analytical article by Sidney Blumenthal in The New Republic – pointing out that in authorized biographies Bush gave five different accounts of what happened to his two crewmen after his plane was hit over Chichi Jima. In any case, the Navy awarded him the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service.
George Herbert Walker Bush, described by some political writers as perhaps the last Republican moderate who will inhabit the confines of the White House, has been likened to economic and social views held by his late father, Prescott Bush, formerly a Wall Street banker and financier who served in the mid 1950s as U.S. Senator from Connecticut. Prescott Bush had been one of the founders of Planned Parenthood and was a staunch friend and golf partner of President Dwight Eisenhower.
Bush 41 of course, is the father of George W. Bush, known as Bush 43. How differently each of the Bushes dealt with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein – the elder Bush during the brief 1991 Persian Gulf War and the son's 2003 invasion of Iraqi and later armed occupation of the Mideast nation has been spotlighted in recent days by the death of Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who headed the American-led Gulf War. While Bush 41 under United Nations proclamation halted the pursuit of Hussein after invading Iraqi forces had been ousted from tiny Kuwait in 1991, the younger Bush bypassed the UN Security Council when he ordered massive American military forces to invade Iraq in 2003. While not an outspoken backer of his son's war of choice, the senior Bush never publicly opposed it as did some of his closest associates from the earlier war.

11. I would be concerned that I could be made to run more efficiently and what that might cost in terms of my soul.

Coming out of the primary in Florida – home to so many seniors and ground zero for Medicare – Mitt Romney, not surprisingly, says he wants to be sure "that Medicare is fiscally solvent" and claimed, "I put a proposal out, which now Wyden and Ryan have taken on legislatively."
Good ideas do tend to attract lots of fathers.
But this one is further supported by the S&P report, "Mounting Medical Care Spending Could Be Harmful to the G-20's Credit Health," released earlier this week. In sum, the report said: "Population aging will lead to profound changes in economic growth prospects for countries around the world … as governments work to build budgets to face ever greater age-related spending needs. Governments' main policy actions so far have consisted of decreasing pension outlays. We believe that getting a firmer grip on rising health care spending is at least equally important."

Because my comments about pnet where modded down to nothing as offtopic, I think that I need a place to post my complaint.
I would like to Just wanted to point out that I have produced the most bug reports for pnet at the time (currently 54 bug reports in the system ).
One good thing I have to say about Rhsy is that he fixes bugs quickly!
My sometimes harsh and questioning nature that brought me to free software is sometimes too much for people to take.
I bitched and moaned alot about dotgnu implementing patent-endanged code instead of following thier original plan.
My complaining got me banned from the project.
Now instead of accepting reports about this buggy software that would warn people that it is not usable on really challenging code (like libx11 or the gcc) that I was compiling with it.
The author rhys tried to *gag* me.
I complained to savannah about this here
In the end, he of course appreciated my valid bug report and fixed them like all the other ones.
The arguments that my bugs are not valid really dont hold water if all of them are fixed. The reality is that the software was lacking major testing, and that my reporting of all these bugs reflected that unstable state.
The funny thing it the backpedling you can find in the bug history , the bug is turned from invalid to fixed! "Mon 02/16/04 at 23:41 rweather resolution_id Invalid Fixed"
So, I would really think twice before spending your time working on pnet/c, because the developers are trying to hide bugs from you! (the ones that I reported (Real bugs))

11.11: Age of Earth
How old is Earth and how do scientists know?
4.6 billion years old. Arriving at this number wasn't easy but there are many lines of evidence that have allowed scientists to reach that conclusion.
Indirect Estimates
During the 18th and 19th centuries, geologists tried to estimate the age of Earth with indirect techniques. What methods can you think of for doing this? One example is that by measuring how much sediment a stream deposited in a year, a geologist might try to determine how long it took for a stream to deposit an ancient sediment layer. Not surprisingly, these methods resulted in wildly different estimates. A relatively good estimate was produced by the British geologist Charles Lyell, who thought that 240 million years had passed since the appearance of the first animals with shells. Today scientists know that this event occurred about 530 million years ago.
In 1892, William Thomson (later known as Lord Kelvin) calculated that the Earth was 100 million years old. He did this systematically assuming that the planet started off as a molten ball and calculating the time it would take for it to cool to its current temperature. This estimate was a blow to geologists and supporters of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, which required an older Earth to provide time for geological and evolutionary processes to take place.
Thomson's calculations were soon shown to be flawed when radioactivity was discovered in 1896. What Thomson didn't know is that radioactive decay of elements inside Earth's interior provides a steady source of heat. Thomson had grossly underestimated Earth's age.
More Quantitatively
Radioactivity turned out to be useful for dating Earth materials and for coming up with a quantitative age for Earth. Scientists not only date ancient rocks from Earth's crust, they also date meteorites that formed at the same time Earth and the rest of the solar system were forming. Moon rocks also have been radiometrically dated.
Using a combination of radiometric dating, index fossils, and superposition, geologists have constructed a well-defined timeline of Earth history. With information gathered from all over the world, estimates of rock and fossil ages have become increasingly accurate. This is the modern geologic time scale with all of the ages.
All of this evidence comes together to pinpoint the age of Earth at 4.6 billion years. A video discussing the evidence for this is found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5369-OobM4
The age of Earth is also discussed in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lplcRdNDcps&feature=channel.
- Early geologists estimated Earth's age in a variety of inaccurate ways like the amount of time it might take for a sediment layer to be deposited.
- Estimates of how long it would take for a molten Earth to cool were also too young since scientists didn't know about radioactivity.
- Radiometric dating of meteorites and Moon rocks indicate that Earth is 4.6 billion years old.

ECRU – A new formation North Pontotoc installed this past week helped the Vikings load up against Nettleton.
With a five-receiver formation North Pontotoc has dubbed its "empty set," Trey Jolly completed 18 of 26 passes for 334 and three touchdowns and no interceptions to lead the Vikings to a 45-26 win against the Tigers on Friday.
It was the final non-division game for both teams, with North Pontotoc heading into Division 2-4A competition and Nettleton facing 2-3A foes the rest of the regular season.
"We were trying to spread it out and use that new set and mix it up so they wouldn't know where our guys were," said Jolly, a junior who is in his first season as starter under center. "Those five wide helped us out."
It helped North Pontotoc (4-2) to an early lead.
Greg Gambrel took a short toss from Jolly 43 yards for a TD on the Vikings' second play from scrimmage. Newcomer John Gonzelez added the point-after and North continued to pad its lead.
Levert Jernigan scored on a 48-yard pass from Dakota Cruber to edge Nettleton within 7-6. Three second-quarter scores by the Vikings put it out of reach.
Marcus Green scored on a 1-yard run, Peyton Finch returned an interception 8 yards for a score, and Green broke loose for a 75-yard score moments before the break.
The Vikings led 25-6 at halftime.
"We came out with a little bit of a different game plan tonight on offense with a different formation," said North Pontotoc coach Brian Sutton. "The kids were kind of nervous about it at first, but we started running it and saw we were giving a different look and they adapted to it."
Nettleton fumbled away the opening kickoff for the second half, and North punched it in on a 6-yard pass from Jolly to Finch. Green scored on a 22-yard catch on the next drive and Nettleton (0-6) was unable to recover.
"They had some speedy guys in the right places and we couldn't give up big plays, but we did," said Nettleton coach Mike Scott. "We needed to put it in the end zone when we were in the red zone, and we didn't do that either."

Are you a saver? Or a saver wannabe?
We've all heard the advice that we should pay ourselves first, but that's sometimes pretty hard to do -- cars break down, kids get sick, roofs need repair... Basically, life happens.
America Saves Week is a national campaign to promote good savings behavior and provide individuals the opportunity to assess their own savings status.
But it's also been proven that putting away even a few dollars out of each paycheck starts to add up quickly. Maybe you can't put away 10%, but how about 5%? Maybe just 3%? If you have to, start small and gradually increase the amount you save.

TUPELO – Music and food will come together on the Link Centre stage for a Tupelo Symphony Orchestra fundraiser.
Dinner on the Stage, which combines food and an almost complete concert version of "Oklahoma!" is next weekend.
"I purposefully picked the best singers I could find," said Jo Miller Orr, who is coordinating the event. "It's absolutely phenomenal."
Performers for the evening include Jody Neal Blake, Sarah Childers, Mickey Gousset and Mark Maharrey.
"The combination of voices – I liken it to a dream come true," Orr said.
The menu for the night includes a choice of trout a la meuniere, corn and pepper saute and lime creme fraiche or roulade of beef, blue cheese and buerre rouge, asparagus and green bean frites and roasted pepper aioli.
The Link Centre's chef, Vicki Leach, is preparing the food.
This is the third year for the Dinner on the Stage fundraiser.
The Tupelo Symphony is only one of two professional symphonies in Mississippi.
Like many arts programs in Mississippi, the TSO can always use a few extra dollars.
"It's totally amazing what we can do with what little we've got," Orr said.
TSO's 41st season continues with a Christmas performance on Dec. 8; Concerto No. 1 by Saint-Saëns featuring cellist Allison Eldredge on Jan. 26; a Liszt Spectacular featuring pianist Cecil Licad on Feb. 23; Mikado on March 23; and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue featuring pianist Yoonie Han on April 27.

22 Great Albums You Might Have Missed In 2012
It's hard to keep up with everything that comes out, but you should try — or revisit — these records.
22. Cody ChesnuTT, "Landing On A Hundred"
R&B singer Cody ChesnuTT's first album in a decade has a lush, sophisticated sound calling back to the high production values of classic records by Isaac Hayes and Marvin Gaye. ChesnuTT's arrangements are full of strings, horns, and assorted instrumentation, but he's got the restraint to use them mainly as accents, so no element ever gets in the way of his rich, beautiful singing voice.
21. Baroness, "Yellow and Green"
Baroness are one of the most ambitious bands in contemporary metal, to the point that their music often strays outside the boundaries of the genre. This double album showcases the full breadth of their sound, with acoustic harmonies existing side by side with dynamic, dense rockers that would've made for great radio fodder back in the glory days of Modern Rock.
20. Of Monsters And Men, "My Head Is an Animal"
The Icelandic six-piece Of Monsters and Men's debut technically came out in 2011, but found its audience in America this year. They're an odd, hyper-theatrical bunch with a taste for bombast and old-timey instrumentation. At their best, they sound like a stage musical performed in the style of Arcade Fire, which seems strange in print, but surprisingly natural in practice.
19. Exitmusic, "Passage"
Exitmusic covers a lot of the same ground as the more famous duo Beach House, but they're a lot more emotionally direct, with singer Aleksa Palladino projecting a wounded romanticism at odds with the chilly tones of their music. They do well with spacey atmosphere, but they're at their best when they build up a huge wall of sound that matches the scale of Palladino's yearning voice, as on the standout track "The Night."
18. The Lumineers, "The Lumineers"
The Lumineers have enjoyed a lot of success in 2012 — their single "Ho Hey" has sold over a million copies — but their album of ragged folk-rock tunes is still getting passed around like a secret among their fans. The record is perfect for listeners who wish Mumford & Sons were less glossy, or that Wilco still wrote a lot of sad alt-country numbers. It's even better if you're looking for some songs that pair very well with a beer and a whiskey shot.
17. Roc Marciano, "Reloaded"
New York hip-hop veteran Roc Marciano is not a flashy rapper, but he's a brilliant lyricist with an instinct for telling stories in vivid detail. Reloaded unfolds slowly over the course of an hour, with Marciano sketching out grim character studies over stoned, woozy tracks.
16. Melody's Echo Chamber, "Melody's Echo Chamber"
French musician Melody Perchot's first album as Melody's Echo Chamber draws heavily on elements of '60s psychedelia and French pop, but the music doesn't have the hollow feeling of nostalgia. Perchot's tunes, produced with Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, update familiar sounds with modern tones and plenty of deliberately rough edges, resulting in a record that feels like it exists in at least three different eras at once.
15. Mouse on Mars, "Parastrophics"
The German electronic duo Mouse on Mars made up for a lengthy hiatus this year by releasing two very good albums. Parastrophics, the first of the two, could be their masterpiece. They've always had a way of making their electronic sounds feel tangible, but that's pushed to an extreme in this collection of abstracted pop, with each beat and keyboard part feeling like a physical object moving, bouncing, bending, and colliding on the track.
14. Carly Rae Jepsen, "Kiss"
Carly Rae Jepsen's single "Call Me Maybe" may be one of the year's most inescapable pop hits, but her album, Kiss, has been mostly under the radar and has sold only a modest number of copies so far. This is a shame, as Jepsen's record is a cheerful, love-struck delight, and opening track "Tiny Little Bows" manages to be even more catchy and joyful than "Call Me Maybe."
13. Dexys, "One Day I'm Going to Soar"
Dexys, the band formerly known as Dexys Midnight Runners, released their first album in 27 years in 2012. Though they're known almost entirely for their 1982 smash "Come on Eileen" in the U.S., the group have a substantial cult following in their native U.K. and a reputation for Fugazi-like integrity and stylistic experimentation. One Day I'm Going to Soar is recognizable as a Dexys record — lead singer Kevin Rowland has an extremely distinct singing voice — but it's different enough from their '80s work to merit the slight name change. The album is slick and smooth, but Rowland's lyrics deal with issues of sex, love, aging, and mental health in terms that are often startlingly frank. It's also charming and witty, so even the darkest confessions are softened by a quip or a wink.
12. Of Montreal, "Paralytic Stalks"
Paralytic Stalks may be the weirdest, most over-the-top record in the Of Montreal catalog, which is really saying something, since the group have totally cornered the market on cerebral, hyperactive psychedelic funk over the past six years. The album has some truly gorgeous melodies and is full of brilliant musical ideas, but it's very demanding on both a structural and emotional level. The lyrics go to some very dark places, and at times the record feels like getting tossed into the deep end of a mind that's rapid cycling through some heavy mood swings. It's not for everyone, but it's a fascinating and rewarding piece of work.
11. Girls Aloud, "Ten"
Girls Aloud are superstars in the U.K., but are basically unknown in North America. This is kind of a tragedy, really — they're one of the most exciting pop acts of the past decade, and their catalog is full of supercharged tunes with wonderfully absurd lyrics. (One of their biggest hits hinges on the line "we're gift-wrapped kitty cats.") Ten is their latest greatest-hits collection, and it stands as the perfect primer for Americans who missed all of this the first time around.
10. Hospitality, "Hospitality"
The Brooklyn trio Hospitality belong to a rich tradition of thoughtful, melodic indie-pop, but they're not all wispy and twee. The band's best cuts, like "Friends of Friends" and "Eighth Avenue," balance a Belle & Sebastian–like approach to lyrics and melody with guitar parts that echo bands like Television and Sonic Youth at their most epic.
9. Jessie Ware, "Devotion"
Jessie Ware has a surprisingly subtle voice for a modern R&B singer. Though most of her peers are still going in hard for Mariah/Whitney-style melisma, Ware is sultry and sophisticated, like a millennial version of Sade. She's done very well for herself in her native England and has scored rave reviews from online critics, but so far hasn't been pushed to R&B and pop fans in the American market. It's only a matter of time, though.
8. The Smashing Pumpkins, "Oceania"
While most of Billy Corgan's alt-rock peers have spent the past few years playing nothing but their hits on endless reunion tours, he's been steadily producing a huge volume of new material with mixed results. People often mock the fact that the Smashing Pumpkins are now just Corgan and a handful of new recruits, but this dynamic is actually a big part of why Oceania is his best and most vital record since the mid-'90s. The current members all grew up as fans of the band, and their enthusiasm for the classic Pumpkins sound has pushed Corgan back toward his core strengths after years of going against his best instincts in the name of artistic growth. The songs are great — "Panopticon" and "Pale Horse" are among the best songs they have ever done — but the biggest thrill is just in hearing this band reconnect with exactly what made them so compelling in the first place.
7. Big K.R.I.T., "4eva N A Day"
Southern rapper and producer Big K.R.I.T. released a lot of music in 2012 — an album, a mixtape, an EP, collaborations with various other emcees — but his 4eva N A Day mixtape stands out as his best work in an absurdly fertile year. K.R.I.T.'s best trick is in finding a way to borrow influences from all over the map while emphasizing his roots in Southern rap. The title track nails this balance, and sounds a little like Kanye West producing a U.G.K. record.
6. El-P, "Cancer 4 Cure"
El-P has been a fixture of the New York rap underground for over a decade, but he truly came into his own in 2012, both as the producer of Killer Mike's exceptional album R.A.P. Music and as a rapper on his third solo album, Cancer 4 Cure. His verses are great through the whole record, but the main attraction is his production, which flips harsh noise and shards of beats into some of the most bluntly aggressive music released by anyone this year.
5. THEESatisfaction, "awE naturalE"
Stasia Irons and Catherine Harris-White's music as THEESatisfaction sidesteps easy classification — every time it seems like they've settled on rap, poetry, or R&B, they switch it up or move on to another idea. Most of their songs clock in around two minutes, so awE naturalE has the vibe of an Erykah Badu record but with the attention span of The Ramones.
4. Electric Six, "Absolute Pleasure"
Electric Six fell off the radar of mainstream culture after scoring two wonderfully bizarre novelty hits, "Gay Bar" and "Danger! High Voltage," nearly a decade ago, but they've never stopped working. In the years since, they've built up a loyal cult by putting out a new album every year and touring relentlessly. Absolute Pleasure, their first live album, is a great introduction to the band's unique blend of hard rock, disco grooves, and biting satire. Even if you've got all of their studio albums, this thing is essential if just for singer Dick Valentine's sardonic stage banter and absurd ad libs.
3. Chairlift, "Something"
Chairlift's Caroline Polachek sings as though she could be the offspring of The Cure's Robert Smith and Kate Bush, and writes songs that are as arty as they are ultra-catchy. Something, the band's second album and first as a duo, is one of the year's most crushed-out albums, full of songs that exalt in the rush of infatuation and the thrill of throwing yourself into new experiences.
2. Tame Impala, "Lonerism"
Tame Impala mastermind Kevin Parker's voice bears an uncanny resemblance to that of John Lennon, but his music comes closer to the warmer, groovier sensibility of solo Paul McCartney. Even if a lot of Lonerism sounds like a fantasy of a mid-'70s Lennon/McCartney collaboration, Parker's biggest achievement here is crafting songs so catchy and dynamic that you'll get sucked in regardless of whether or not you have a preexisting love for the titans of psychedelic rock.
1. The Mynabirds, "Generals"
It's actually aggravating to think of how many people would love The Mynabirds but simply haven't had a chance to discover them due to the fact that they're signed to a small label with only a modest promotional budget. Singer and songwriter Laura Burhenn has one of the strongest voices in contemporary pop music — she could certainly hold her own against the likes of Adele and Florence Welch — and is an even better songwriter, with a gift for tackling nuanced ideas about love, spirituality, and politics in elegantly composed and instantly appealing tunes. Generals, her band's second album, is especially amazing in that Burhenn sings mainly about issues of citizenship and responsibility without seeming like a drag.

Part of National Museums Liverpool
This internationally significant collection of over 2,000 Tibetan objects gives an insight into the lives of British India officers connected to Tibet and the Himalayas.
Currently on display in World Cultures, Level 3, World Museum
It's a little known fact that Liverpool has one of the world's great Tibet collections.
Start date: 1903
End date: 1903
Description: The British Mission to Tibet during 1903 and 1904 was an invasion of southern Tibet by British Indian forces on the pretence of negotiating trade relations between Tibet and British India. However, this was instigated primarily in the hope of preventing the Russian Empire from interfering in Tibetan affairs and thus gaining a base in one of the buffer states surrounding British India. The expedition was led by Colonel (later Sir) Francis Younghusband. It had a damaging effect on the British reputation, many Tibetans were killed and monasteries and houses were looted and/or destroyed along the way. The 13th Dalai Lama feld Lhasa before the arrival of the expedition and Younghusband negotiated, a soon to be repelled, convention with the Tibetan government or Kashag in Lhasa that was signed in the Potala on 7 Septmber 1904.

Rosen named first master of Whitman College
Posted September 21, 2005; 07:00 a.m.
Economics professor Harvey Rosen has been named the first master of Whitman College, which will open as Princeton's sixth residential college in fall 2007.
Rosen, the John Weinberg Professor of Economics and Business Policy, has been a Princeton faculty member since 1974. He recently returned to the University after taking leave in 2003 to serve on President Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, first as a member and later as chair.
Rosen officially begins his position as Whitman master on July 1, 2007, but his appointment was made at this time to allow him to participate in residential college planning and policy discussions and to begin assembling the Whitman staff. A faculty member serves as the head of each of Princeton's residential colleges, working closely with the college staffs to build supportive communities and to devise programs and activities to extend education beyond the classroom.
The construction of Whitman is part of a major reorganization of Princeton's residential college system and will enable an increase in the undergraduate student body from roughly 4,700 to 5,200 under a plan approved by the University's trustees in 2000.
Princeton currently has a system of five two-year residential colleges. With the new system, three of the six colleges (Whitman, Mathey and Butler) will house students from all four classes, increasing opportunities for interaction across all the classes and allowing juniors and seniors to take fuller advantage of the colleges' academic, social and cultural offerings. Each of the other three colleges (Forbes, Rockefeller and Wilson) will be paired with a four-year college, and all the colleges will include graduate students in residence.
Rosen was a member of the Four-Year College Program Planning Committee, helping to develop the blueprint for the new system. His appointment as Whitman master was announced by Nancy Malkiel, dean of the college, and Kathleen Deignan, dean of undergraduate students.
"Professor Rosen clearly combines qualities that make for outstanding success in residential college masterships: excellence in undergraduate teaching; experience and skill in administration; an ample measure of level-headedness and sound judgment; imagination and enthusiasm about the possibilities for education in a residential setting; and obvious enjoyment of students," the announcement said.
Rosen's research and teaching focuses on public finance, covering topics such as federal taxation, state and local governmental finance, housing policy and labor study.

It's been a tough couple of weeks for the LaFollette Police Department.
With the arrest of one officer for falsifying time sheets with the Campbell County Sheriff's Department and another officer charged with statutory rape, personnel problems continue to abound for the LPD.
On Tuesday, LPD Officer Justin Lowe was arrested by Clinton City Police on charges of aggravated assault.
On April 10, CASA will take to the open road in hopes of generating funds for its program that serves children in the court system. No, they are not holding a roadblock.
Instead, CASA will be joined by the Southern Cruisers, the Southern Sons, the Widow's Sons and the Christian Motorcycle Club for a benefit ride. All money raised that day will go directly into CASA to assist its volunteers in advocating for abused children.
"We are so grateful for the clubs stepping up and helping us this way," said Maggie Inscho, county coordinator for CASA.
With the weeks until the election slipping away, the number of people seeking office continues to multiply.
Incumbent county mayor William Baird now has plenty of competition for his seat. Along with county commissioner Scotty Kitts, Ronnie Murray and former sheriff Ron McClellan, another candidate has joined the race, election commission records said. Chair of the county commission and defunct LaFollette City Administrator David Young has filed his petition to run for the county's top spot.
Live bluegrass music, refreshments and the opportunity to participate in a silent auction, while helping area children can only be found in one place-the 9th annual CASA Bluegrass Breakdown.
On March 20, at 6 p.m. in the Campbell County High School auditorium, four groups will be performing bluegrass favorites at CASA's biggest fundraising event.
Those performing include Larry Gillis and the Hard Driving Bluegrass Band, Shadow Ridge, Eddie Sweat and Thunder Creek, as well as Carl and Mason Capps.
No electricity, no running water, outhouse facilities and alligators and anacondas in a rustic South American village may not sound like a good time to most people. But for seven missionaries from First Baptist of Jacksboro, it was a piece of heaven just to be able to help others.
A routine traffic stop for speeding led to a slew of drug and traffic charges for a Kentucky man last week.
On March 3, Jellico Police Officer Jeff Ivey clocked Jason Harold Ritchie, 31, of Winchester Road, Lexington, Ky., traveling 83 miles per hour on I-75 in a 70 mile per hour posted zone, according to a Jellico arrest report.
Ritchie allegedly traveled for a mile and a half before exiting the interstate, swerving several times before coming to a stop, according to Ivey's report.
A zoning conflict in LaFollette has Scrappy's owner Arnold Jones searching for a new location for his business in a competitive scrap or bust industry.
In a short agenda meeting, the Caryville Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved an ordinance to adopt wastewater regulations, which would update and bring the town inline with state requirements.
The new wastewater regulations are nothing major, according to Caryville Town Recorder Cheryl Ivey.
"Basically, it just upgrades the old ordinance to bring it into compliance with new state regulations," Ivey said.

So i made the switch from Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy to Victor Super Premium Performance (30/20) and i have a few questions. First off i was feeding off the guide on Eukanuba so my 7 month old 70 lb male CLM was eating 5.5 cups a day. Now that i'm feeding victor he is to eat 3.5 cups a day. I know that the protein and fat levels are different (Euk. 26/14 Victor 30/20) as well as Victor having less "filler" (corn soy and wheat free) so will he fill the same amount of "fullness" from getting less food but more nutrients? Or will he be hungry but nutritionally be getting all he needs? Should i gradually work my way down to 3.5 cups or just start it at that?
I will say the kibble is a bit smaller than Euk. The victor kibble is about a centimeter in diameter so he is getting more individual kibbles not that makes any difference since i'm still using the same measuring cup
"great taste. less filling" regards

Made to measure items are non-returnable
Collection: Linen
Fabric code: 392-09
Width of fabric: 150cm
Shrinkage: 6%
from £11.00
Width: When measuring for the width of pencil pleat curtain remember that the width of the fabric will significantly reduce with gathering. It is therefore recommended to measure the pole or track and multiply its width by 2 times and divide this by 2 to calculate the required widths of individual curtains. The width can be adjusted with the strings at the back of the curtain, thus allowing some flexibility in the final look.
Drop: For pencil pleat curtains the drop is measured from the pole or track to the window sill or the floor . For extra long curtains that pool on the floor add 20 cm to the drop. The drop can be adjusted by 2.5cm to 5 cm with the choice of either the upper or the lower row at the back of the curtain, thus allowing some flexibility in the final look.
In a pencil pleat curtain the fabric is gathered into pleats with a 7 cm wide curtain. The tape is fitted at the top of the curtain (at the back) and it has 2 rows of pockets to chose from and to place hooks in while hanging the curtain.
The bottom of the curtain is hemmed. The width of the hem depends on the drop of the curtain:
- for curtains up to 200 cm long the width of the hem is 5 cm
- for curtains over 200 cm long the width of the hem is 10 cm
The bottom of the curtains is also finished with weights in the bottom corners of the curtain, to improve the hang and keep the curtain in position.
The hem on the sides of the curtain is 2 cm wide.
The width of the curtain made to measure is the width before gathering. Please allow extra fabric for gathering.
Curtains over 130 cm in width are made out of two or more pieces of fabric. This is due to the standard width of fabrics (140cm) available from fabric manufacturers. This is a standard practice in the industry, the patterns are matched across the pieces of fabric and this does not affect the quality or the look of the finished curtain. This may not apply to a small number of fabrics that are supplied in rolls that are 280 cm wide.

Dinner and an auction are pretty standard fare on Charleston's fundraising party scene, but a week ago Friday, the American Lung Association stepped up their annual Oxygen Ball with high-kicking, high-energy, high entertainment from some of the area's most talented dancers (professional and amateur alike). For the second year, the nonprofit asked local celebrities to take a deep breath, then step out of their comfort zones and onto the dance floor alongside instructors from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio. Armed with tango, waltz, and swing steps, the Lowcountry Dancing with the Stars competitors—among them our own editor-in-chief Darcy Shankland, who wowed with a spicy salsa number, and chef Bob Waggoner, who flung his fair-haired swing partner this way and that—kept partygoers' feet tappin' and hands clappin'.
Watching the showdown, many in the audience caught the dance fever, carrying the party late into the night as the music and drinks flowed. Those who needed a breather headed over to the popular oxygen bar for clean air refreshments mingled with aromas like peppermint, lavender, gardenia, and almond. Late into the night, the judges finished tallying the votes: Pearlstine Distributors owner Jan Lipov and her partner, Andrey Gergel, had tangoed their way to the top! And with proceeds from the evening reaching upwards of $70,000, it seems the American Lung Association's glamorous gala has also found a winning rhythm.
Across town, the Charleston Horticultural Society was also seeing the green grow at its annual Plantasia party at Gaillard Auditorium. Scroll down for photos of the event.

News Releases, Media Advisories
For Immediate Release: Contact: Ron Harris November 3, 1999 Sharon Snyder Ian Stirton Kelly Huff
WASHINGTON The Federal Election Commission is seeking public input into the issues raised by the use of the Internet to conduct political campaign activity.
The Commission is currently examining various issues concerning the Internet, and says in its Notice of Inquiry (NOI) to be published soon in the Federal Register, "The Commission is conducting this review in order to assess the applicability of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) and the Commissions current regulations to campaign activity conducted using this medium.
"In order to assist its review, the Commission invites comments on the application of the [FECA] and the current regulations to Internet campaign activity. The Commission will use the comments received to determine whether or not to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), which may include proposed changes to its regulations."
The NOI emphasizes that the Commission has made no final decisions regarding Internet issues and "...may ultimately decide to take no action."
Some of the issues involved, as noted in the NOI*, include:
Candidate web sites: Increasing numbers of candidates are establishing web sites to support their campaigns. The most basic question raised is how the candidates committee should treat costs associated with establishing a campaign web site. Are these costs expenditures under the Act? Or, should they be treated as some other type of committee disbursement?
Web sites of publicly funded candidates: The Commission invites comments on whether there are special considerations involving web sites established by Presidential candidates who accept public funding under the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act or the Presidential Primary Matching Payment Account Act. What issues arise when publicly funded Presidential candidates use the Internet to promote their candidacies?
Web sites created by individuals: Many web sites created by individuals contain references to candidates and political parties. Some sites, often referred to as "fan sites," are devoted entirely to urging support for or opposition to one or more candidates. The FECA distinguishes between activities conducted by individuals in cooperation or consultation with a candidate, and activities undertaken independently of a candidate. How should the definitions in the FECA be applied to web sites created by individuals that contain references to candidates or political parties? Are costs incurred by individuals in posting materials relating to candidates or parties convered by the FECA? If so, how should the value of the individuals contribution or independent expenditure be determined? What costs should be taken into account?
Candidate appearances: The Commission is interested in comments on how the FECA and regulations should be applied when candidates make public appearances via a web site operated by a news organization.
Party Committees: The Commission is interested in comments on the impact of the FECA and regulations on the use of the Internet by political party committees, for example how party committees use of the Internet may impact allocation of expenses between candidates.
Hyperlinks: Some web sites created by individuals contain hyperlinks to a candidates site or to the site of another political committee. Under what circumstances should posting a hyperlink be treated as a contribution or independent expenditure?
Web sites created by campaign volunteers: The Commission invites comments on the extent to which Internet services provided by volunteers should be covered by the volunteer exemption of the FECA.
News organizations: The FECA contains an exception from the definition of "expenditure" for "any news story, commentary, or editorial distributed through the facilities of any broadcasting station, newspaper, magazine, or other periodical publication, unless such facilities are owned or controlled by any political party, political committee, or candidate." The Commission is interested in comments on how this provision, and other related ones generally referred to collectively as the "news story exemption," should be applied to the Internet.
The Commission is seeking public input on these issues and any others regarding the Internet and campaign activity on which the public desires to comment. There will be a 60-day comment period beginning on the date of publication of the NOI in the Federal Register.
All comments should be addressed to Rosemary C. Smith, Acting Assistant General Counsel, and must be submitted in either written or electronic form. Written comments should be sent to the Federal Election Commission, 999 E Street NW, Washington, DC 20463. Electronic mail comments should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com, and should include the full name, electronic mail address, and postal service address of the commenter. Faxed comments should be sent to (202) 219-3923, with printed copy follow-up.
# # #
* Note to editors and correspondents: Paper copies of the NOI as approved by the Commission on Oct. 28 are available in the FEC Press Office, (202) 694-1220. The NOI can also be found on the FECs web site, www.fec.gov, at the "Whats New," link, and is retrievable via the FECs Faxline (202-501-3413) as document #244. Notification of publication in the Federal Register will be forthcoming in a Media Advisory.


text: Jake Long is #1. Then I'd say it's Reggie Bush. Smith and Clemons I think are also should re-signs, but the rest are replaceable. But I'd like Starks back, but Odrick and a 1st or 2nd round pick can replace Starks though. Hartline and Fasano will be told see ya.

Panthenol is a provitamin of pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5. As a provitamin, it's converted to vitamin B5 once it enters the body. Vitamin B5 is required in small quantities by all cells in the human body for normal cellular metabolism. It's involved in numerous biochemical reactions in the body. Despite its importance, a deficiency of this vitamin is uncommon since it's found in a wide variety of foods. Panthenol differs slightly in structure from vitamin B5 and is classified as an alcohol. It's made from a natural ingredient called d-pantolactone found in honey but can also come from animal sources or be made synthetically.
According to research published in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, a modified form of panthenol called dexpanthenol is beneficial for treating some skin disorders and wounds. In the treatment of wounds, panthenol stimulates the activity of cells called fibroblasts that are important for wound repair and establishment of new tissue. It also has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activity, which is important for wound healing. Wounds treated with dexpanthenol, a modified form of panthenol, showed less redness and fewer signs of inflammation.
Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, panthenol may be useful for treating other minor skin problems like sunburn, bug bites and contact dermatitis. It's sometimes mixed with another ingredient called allantoin to treat minor skin problems. It's also been suggested as a possible acne treatment due to its anti-bacterial properties and ability to block inflammation.
Panthenol is also a good skin conditioner and moisturizer. As a moisturizer, it acts as both a humectant and an emollient. Humectants draw water from the environment to the surface of the skin, while emollients create a protective barrier over skin to prevent water loss. Because of its ability to moisturize, soften and protect skin, it's an ingredient often found in cosmetic and skin care products including facial moisturizers, eye creams, anti-aging products and make-up products such as lipstick, eye shadow and mascara.
Panthenol is also an ingredient in hair care products such as shampoo, hair conditioners, hair coloring treatments and hair styling products. Some research suggests that panthenol strengthens and thickens hair while preventing breakage, but these studies were carried out using larger amounts of panthenol than are found in hair care products. Whether or not panthenol actually strengthens and thickens hair is unproven, but it does coat the hair shaft and give hair more body and shine. Using panthenol-based products can improve the appearance of hair, especially hair that's prone to dryness. Just as panthenol helps skin hold onto moisture, it also coats the hair shaft to prevent moisture loss. Because it holds onto water from the environment, panthenol plumps up" the hair shaft
