How do I reduce dark circles under my eyes?
Posted on
What Causes Dark Circles?
Though more common as we age, dark circles under the eyes can be experienced at any age. They are caused by the blood vessels being seen through the skin, as the skin around the eyes is the thinnest skin the body. They can also become more visible is there is a leakage or pooling of blood that can cause deeper discolouration, in addition a lack of sleep causes the skin to become paler thus enhancing the deeper dark circles to show through. Pigmentation can also occur in the eye area causing dark circles.
In most cases dark circles are often coupled with puffiness so it is good to choose a product with ingredients that combines both.
What Ingredients Can Help Dark Eye Circles?
Peptides and natural yeast extracts both help to diminish the appearance of dark circles at their source, by improving the circulation in the eye area, enhancing the natural elimination of dark circle pigments, and supporting the skin's matrix structure – firming and toning the eye area making the circles less apparent.
Cucumber and green tea are excellent ingredients to target puffiness and soothe the skin, so choosing a product that combines peptides, natural yeast extracts and green tea is best to combat dark circles and puffiness at any age.
NeoStrata Bionic Eye Cream Plus combines these ingredients with Bionic Poly Hydroxy Acids that smooth, calm and bind moisture to the skin further plumping the skin and smoothing the appearance of fine lines.
Note that while Vitamin K is recognised a good ingredient for reducing dark circles, it can also be irritant to the sensitive eye area, so choosing a product with peptide and natural yeast ingredients can be a safer option to avoid sensitivity and reactions.

You Should Experience Great Medium Hairstyles At Least Once In Your Lifetime And Here's Why | great medium hairstyles
My chief year of college, I had a breathtakingly admirable acquaintance from Syria. She had bendable olive skin, a abundant physique, and outrageously continued eyelashes. She additionally had a admirable arch of hair, but we alone saw it while abaft the bankrupt doors of our accommodation because she – like added Muslim women – would awning herself as a assurance of modesty, attention her acme of glory. Within the aboriginal anniversary of administration our active quarters, I asked her to advise me to blanket myself. She affably agreed, artlessly allurement if I was I Muslim. I replied, "Girl, this is for a bad beard day!" I arrested to accomplish abiding my appeal wasn't abhorrent or considered, in her eyes, as a anatomy of appropriation. "You wouldn't be affronted if I, a Christian woman, covered with a hijab, would you?" She laughed absurdly as if I had told her the best agreeable joke, and she assured me that she would booty no breach to it. Our band bound flourished with because of our aggregate concern for anniversary other's culture, religion, and ancestors dynamics, amidst added things.
I fabricated the analysis that "Black women aren't accustomed to acquire a bad beard day" while in my additional year of law school. I am a Black woman and I assignment in a predominately caucasian field. I additionally abounding law academy at a PWI. Oh, and did I acknowledgment that at the time I was transitioning to accustomed hair? That's right, for 13 months arch up to this eureka moment, I had been apple-pie from that buttery able that we alarm a relaxer. And boy, was I activity through some austere withdrawal. I was not "going natural" because of some Afrocentric, aback to my roots adventure of self-discovery. I absolutely was not aggravating to angle up to "the man" or "the system" that tells Black women that the way their beard grows out of their attic isn't acceptable enough. In fact, I'd consistently admired long, cottony beeline hair. I was artlessly curious. Analytical to see what my beard looked like in its accustomed state. My mother has the cutest curls that coruscate and braid with baptize and I was aggressive by her adventurous cuts and wash-n-go styles. I capital to apperceive what that was like. I went in cerebration I may abhorrence it and end up adequate it all over again, but whatever I decide, it's my choice.
So while in my 2L year of school, I had my epiphany. I had aloof taken bottomward an install – a braid sew-in. Because I had a beard arrangement appropriate afterwards class, I would acquire to go to assignment and academy with my beard done and draft dried. Well, my beard is aloof way too blubbery to put it in a ponytail after straightening it, so a ponytail was out of the question. I didn't acquire time to aberration it up and I abiding couldn't abrasion it agrarian and crazy. Remember, I was transitioning so bisected of my arch was natural, while the ends were still straight. *insert ancillary eye* Ain't cipher got time for that! So with all things considered, I angry to my accurate scarves in adjustment to accomplish a arch wrap. I absitively on a simple, archetypal arch blanket with a low bun at the nape of my neck. "There," I thought, "all my beard is neatly tucked away." But the added that I looked at myself, the added acquainted I became of my "ethnicity." And the added acquainted I became of my blackness, the added afflictive I grew with the anticipation of me walking into chic and my accumulated job with my arch wrapped.
My ability had accomplished me to blanket my beard like this but my predominately white colleagues in the acknowledged profession would absolutely appearance it as "too Black" and "Afrocentric." I bethink cerebration that I would rather not be on the accepting end of microaggressions because of my blackness, but time was active out and I had to do something.
The hijab! I affective addition bandage and captivated myself as our Muslim sisters do back they are accoutrement themselves. That's appropriate – this little Christian went into her accumulated apple dressed as a Muslim woman because Black women aren't accustomed to acquire bad beard days. In hindsight, however, I did not accord aloof acquiescence to the astronomic weight that Muslim women bald in America back they acquire to convenance bashfulness and cover. I chose to acquire the convenance from addition ability because I knew Human Resources wouldn't admonishment me, for abhorrence of a bigotry lawsuit. But by adopting that cultural expression, I acquainted as admitting I was agreement my actual own on the self.
While association has amorphous to acquire accustomed hairstyles, accumulated America could still angle a advance in ancestral sensitivity. At the time, I anticipation there was no blessed average and absolutely no allowance for compromise. That is until I saw a admirable Black woman of access and position airing into a law firm, advertisement to work, with her African headwrap and her name on the covering aloft the head. That was until I saw Black women in HR bedrock abundant coiled crowns that smelled of shea adulate and accustomed oils. Don't acquaint me representation doesn't matter! It matters; it will consistently matter!
Can you allotment a time area you censored your beard because of civic norms?

Saudi says it is 'beacon of light' against Iran's 'darkness'
RIYADH - Saudi Arabia and key ally Bahrain said on Saturday that Gulf states are playing a critical role in maintaining stability in the Middle East by combating Iran's "vision of darkness", as Riyadh faces its worst political crisis in decades.
Saudi Arabia is the lynchpin of a US-backed regional bloc against growing Iranian influence in the Middle East but the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at its consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. has prompted a global outcry and strained Riyadh's ties with the West.
"We are now dealing with two visions in the Middle East. One is a (Saudi) vision of light ... One is a (Iranian) vision of darkness which seeks to spread sectarianism throughout the region," Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told a security summit in Bahrain.
"History tells us that light always wins out against the dark ... The question is how do we defeat them."
US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Saturday that the killing of Khashoggi, a prominent critic of Saudi policy, undermined regional stability and that Washington would take additional measures against those responsible after announcing visa bans on 21 suspects in the case.
"Failure of any one nation to adhere to international norms and the rule of law undermines regional stability at a time when it is needed most," Mattis told a separate session of the annual Manama Dialogue security conference.
The three-day summit was attended by Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Mattis and his counterparts in Italy and Germany also participated, but Jordan's King Abdullah cancelled his appearance after a flood that hit the Dead Sea region killed 21 people.
The long-planned event has been the focus of greater scrutiny this year after the killing of Khashoggi, with Jubeir questioned about how the case would affect Saudi Arabia's credibility on foreign policy and security matters.
He reiterated that Riyadh would bring to justice those responsible for Khashoggi's death, saying they would be prosecuted in the kingdom, a day after Turkey demanded the extradition of 18 Saudis suspected of involvement in his murder.
Jubeir said ties between Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, and the United States are "ironclad" and praised what he described as the "rational, realistic" foreign policy of the current US administration.
President Donald Trump has said he wants to get to the bottom of the Khashoggi case, while also highlighting Riyadh's role as an ally against Iran and Islamist militants, as well as a major purchaser of US arms.
Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia and Shiite Muslim Iran, which was not represented in the Manama conference agenda, have long been locked in a proxy war, competing for regional supremacy from Iraq to Syria and Lebanon to Yemen.
Trump, who in May withdraw the United States from a 2015 international nuclear accord with Tehran, has strongly backed Saudi Arabia in its efforts to counter Iran's influence. The next wave of US sanctions against Iran are due to come into effect on Nov 4.
Iran, for its part, accuses Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates of funding gunmen who attacked a military parade in Iran last month, killing 25 people, 12 of them members of the elite Revolutionary Guards. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have denied any involvement.
The Guards accused them of creating "plots and tensions".
Security alliance
Bahrain's foreign minister, Shiekh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, told the conference the Gulf bloc would remain a "pillar" of regional security and that a proposed security alliance grouping the United States, Gulf states, Jordan and Egypt would be activated next year.
The Middle East Strategic Alliance (MESA) is meant to serve as a bulwark against Iran and extremism, Washington says. But there has been uncertainty about how it can get off the ground given a protracted dispute between Qatar and four Arab states led by Saudi Arabia who launched a boycott of Doha in 2017.
Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut off travel and trade ties with Qatar in June 2017, accusing it of backing their archrival, Iran, and supporting terrorism. Qatar denies the charges and says the boycott impinges on its sovereignty.
Mattis said that it was important to end the 16-month-old Arab dispute with Qatar that analysts say has weakened regional coordination against Iran.
Jubeir said recent discussions in Saudi Arabia about a framework for MESA included Qatari officials and that the proposed alliance would not be affected by the diplomatic row.
"It (MESA) is an alliance for security and prosperity for the region and will be open to those who accept its principles," Sheikh Khalid said, adding that the alliance would also cooperate on economic issues.
Gulf Arab foreign ministers also touched on Middle East peace initiatives, with Sheikh Khalifa lauding efforts by Oman, which hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday in a rare visit.
'We all understand this'
Israel and the Gulf states share an interest in curbing Iran's influence in the region.
Oman's foreign minister, Yousuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah, told the forum that Muscat was offering ideas to help Israel and the Palestinians to come together but was not acting as mediator.
"Israel is a state present in the region, and we all understand this," bin Alawi said.
"The world is also aware of this fact. Maybe it is time for Israel to be treated the same [as others states] and also bear the same obligations."
His comments followed the visit by Netanyahu which came days after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas paid a three-day visit to the Gulf country. Both leaders met with Oman's Sultan Qaboos.
"We are not saying that the road is now easy and paved with flowers, but our priority is to put an end to the conflict and move to a new world," bin Alawi told the summit.
Oman is relying on the United States and efforts by President Donald Trump in working towards the "deal of the century" (Middle East peace), he added, while Jubeir said Saudi Arabia believes the key to normalising relations with Israel was the peace process.
Trump's Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt welcomed the "warming ties & growing cooperation between our regional friends" in a tweet late on Friday.
"This is a helpful step for our peace efforts & essential to create an atmosphere of stability, security & prosperity between Israelis, Palestinians & their neighbors. Looking forward to seeing more meetings like this!" Greenblatt said.
Curbing Iran
Oman has long been to the Middle East what neutral Switzerland is to global diplomacy. The country helped to mediate secret US-Iran talks in 2013 that led to the historic nuclear deal signed in Geneva two years later.
Earlier this year, bin Alawi visited Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque and Netanyahu has on several occasions hinted at warmer ties with Gulf states.
He told Israel's parliament last week that due to fears of a nuclear threat from Iran, "Israel and other Arab countries are closer than they ever were before."
Though uncommon, Israeli leaders have previously visited the Gulf state.
In 1996, the late Shimon Peres went to Oman and Qatar when he was prime minister and opened Israel trade representative offices in both Gulf countries.
His predecessor, the late Yitzhak Rabin, made the first trip to Oman in 1994.
On his visit on Friday, Netanyahu was accompanied by senior officials, including the head of the Mossad intelligence agency and his national security adviser.

The first quarter featured five ties and one lead change. Puget Sound led by four points several times in the quarter, but Willamette owned a 21-18 lead following a layup by Logsdon with 55 seconds remaining. Kirstin Hafeman sank a 3-pointer for the Loggers with 12 seconds left to tie the score.
Willamette surged out to 30-22 lead at the end of a 9-1 run to open the second quarter. Carpenter scored five points during the run. A bit later, Willamette took a 38-28 advantage on a 3-pointer by Kochenderfer with 4:47 on the clock. Puget Sound got as close as six points at 40-34 with 54 seconds to go when RaeAnn Allen made 1 of 2 free throws. Ballard hit a 3-pointer for WU with three second left to give Willamette a 43-34 halftime cushion.
A 3-pointer by Kochenderfer just 13 seconds into the third quarter increased WU's margin to 46-34. The Loggers answered with a 6-0 run, but Willamette eventually grabbed a 54-43 lead on a layup by Farmer at the 4:40 mark. Puget Sound outscored WU 9-2 over the remainder of the quarter to pull within 56-52.
Willamette will play at George Fox University on Friday, Feb. 15. Game time in Newberg, Oregon, is set for 6 p.m. (PST).
Big Moment of the Game for Willamette
Drew Farmer grabbed an offensive rebound and scored on a
layup as time expired in the fourth quarter to send the game
into overtime. Farmer made a great play. After arriving at
the perfect spot to grab the rebound, she was able to secure
the ball and shoot in nearly one movement, which allowed
her to release the layup before the buzzer sounded.

Enter into the world of sourdough bread with our expert Helen from the White Cottage Baking School. She'll teach you the principles of making delicious sourdough bread in our charming Victorian bakery.
During the day you will learn how to mix and develop a strong dough: to shape it, prove it and finally to score it and prepare it for baking. You will learn about the process of working with wild yeast: the good bacteria and lactic acid at play within the culture, as well as the care and maintenance of your own starter. You'll follow the story of flour from field to fork with a tour of our working, eighteenth century watermill and get a chance to experiment with our Victorian, wood-fired oven. You'll leave at the end of the day with your own sourdough starter, a proving basket, a dough scraper and all the knowledge you need to start on your own baking journey.
Our Introduction to Sourdough workshop will run on Sunday 15th September from 9:30am till 2:00pm. Tickets cost £75 per person.
What's included?
- materials for creating a sourdough loaf and a simple soda bread
- instructions, advice and recipe notes from our expert Helen
- a proving basket and a dough scraper
- your own sourdough starter to take home
- one fully prepared sourdough loaf for you to bake at home

This workshop is ideal for beginners or intermediates with an interest in baking. It is suitable for anyone aged 16 or over. Under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult.
Our watermill and bakery are historic buildings situated a 300m walk from our main entrance. The meeting room used as part of the workshop is accessed by a steep set of external stairs and the tour of the watermill will involve climbing narrow, steep stairs with handrails to explore the four storey building. We may be able to offer a parking space closer to the bakery; please contact us by email if this is something you require.

I Love Wedding Phototgraphy! Think about it, spending every Saturday with two wonderful families and their friends. By the end of the day, I feel like I'm family! I could make beautifuI photographs of anything I want to. I choose to express myself through Wedding Photography because I enjoy people. Those who watch me photograph comment that they love seeing my passion. This passion will be seen in your wedding photographs! I have a unique ability to relate to a wide variety of personalities, and to see things from other people's points of view. I am a calm soul soul in a sea of Wedding Day jitters,and some funny mishaps. (I am sure your Wedding will be perfect!) The first wedding I photographed 22 years ago- photography was to start 4 hours before the ceremony so the bride and groom could enjoy the reception free from commitments. The Bride's dress arrived at the church 15 minutes before the ceremony! The nature of a Wedding Photographer is optimism at all times...because, every time- the memories and the pictures are all that's left after your perfect day is over. Call today before your wedding date gets booked! We offer complementary consultations.

Great Life Moments (Scott) was one of the best choices we made for our wedding! He was always attentive to our needs and he delivered wonderful photographs. We had to make some venue changes due to weather- and Scott was willing to go wherever we needed him to! Our photographs turned out beautiful.

Hold On… Here We Go
You know those moments. Standing at the foot of the mountain looking up. The journey looks ominous, too ominous. You begin to hesitate and think that you are not the one to undertake this. That you would surely fail. Fear begins to creep into your mind that moments before were brimming with confidence. The wonder why do we get charged with his monumental task instead of someone else. Don't you know who I am? With all my failures, past improprieties, and lack of overwhelming self confidence, I have still been tapped to be a part of conquering this mountain.
I stand at one of those moments. It is something that I have wanted to do for years, be a part of something that is new and will make a difference. People have told me that I can do it, that I have the right thought process to do this. I even have some past experience in it. Then why do these doubts still rise?
Too often we encounter these thoughts at the base of the mountain. Those thoughts can easily paralyze us from moving forward. In "Christian-ese" we use the word called/ calling, in common everyday meaning it is fulfilling our God given task. Everyone is given a calling. It can be recognized by our reaction to a God given burden upon us.
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one bodyand one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.- Ephesians 4:1 (NIV)
How we react to those callings? You and I can either run or head up the mountain. I choose the mountain. That does not mean that I don't have self doubts with myself, no wonder I surround myself with a great team. We are not sent on "lone ranger" tasks by ourselves, but are supported/ encouraged along the way. Each time moments of self doubt creeps into my thoughts I remember my purpose: to live a life worthy of my calling. It does not mean I cut and run at the first sign of trouble, but dig in with the strength that only God can bring and the team that I have been blessed with.
It's time to dig in and take on this mountain. Should be fun, there is nothing else I would rather want to do.
Every Pastor Needs an Arch-Nemesis
A couple of weeks ago I posted on my facebook page that I needed an arch-nemesis. The response I got was that I need to love everyone and that Pastors should not have one. Granted theologically that is correct. But I would like to throw out a different angle. I was sitting in the church parking lot thinking about my past and where I have been led in this journey. It was always the "arch-nemesis" that pushed me to search within myself that forced me to be more than I thought I could be. That parent that thought that I was an awful administrator or the person that thought that I was not caring enough during a hospital visit. I am not saying that we need to look for someone to destroy us (as many arch-nemesis's do), but perhaps we need to look to a more dulled down version of our comic heroes. In Batman, Spiderman, and X-Men they each had an arch-nemesis. Whether they were Green Goblin, Sandman, or Doc. Octopus. While there intention was to destroy our heroes, rule the world, or have wealth beyond the imagination. I would like to offer a pastoral alternative.That alternative being pushing who I am as a pastor. No matter where you are or serving in a "perfect" church we will always have those people within the congregation. Someone that does not agree with you. I recall several congregational meetings in which were called in order to agree the installation of a new pastor. The pastor was great, but someone had to voice discontent. Not because the pastor was awful, but simply to disagree and being the voice of the discontent. Pastor's run into them all the time. I had a congregation member that was not pleased with my sermons, no matter how good they were received or how good they were. Jokingly he would come up to me after service and tell me my sermon could have been better. Did he not know how well I exegeted it? Talked about the nominative pluralities and everything. What I have learned from these people is that they push who I am as a pastor to do better. While I may not like it they are put here for a reason.1. Arch-nemesis push us to do better- Far too often it is easy to be complacent in ministry or comfortable in the position in which we are. A arch-nemesis is one that is always on your heals and does not let you become comfortable. As pastors it sometimes is easy to enjoy the congregational love and not want to shake the boat. The nemesis does not let us get too comfortable in our chairs.2. Arch-nemesis force us into areas where we do not see possibilities- There are always alternative ways or something that we should be doing, but sometimes we cannot see it becoming a reality. Without someone to push us, shove us, or throw us into those directions we will naturally not go into those areas.3. Arch-nemesis deflate our ego- Each sunday after preaching everyone comes up to you and tells you how good your sermon is. Even if it is awful and was taken off the internet. This causes us to have our ego boosted. The amount of positive reinforcement to negative is incredibly skewed to the positive. I have friends that keep my ego sane and deflate it, but we all need those people to keep us even keeled.I can list those that have been my arch-nemesis's over the years. Some I am more thankful for than others. They have been put in my life by God to push me and encourage me on my journey. Every pastor needs an arch-nemesis to push their status quo.
Call Vs. A Sense of Responsibility
I have spent the last couple of days in a sense of internal conflict. Some of the questions I have been arguing over in my head and those around me is where is the church's or our own sense of responsibility for the church universal. While I do feel that I have a call to pastoral ministry and it have been mostly verified by the Committee on Preparation for Ministry, our Session, and by others. In Presby-speak it needs to be verified by the Session, Presbytery, and a "Calling" Church.Anyways my definition for a call has been shaped by the words of Frederick Buechner, a Presbyterian pastor who writes, "The place where God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." The place where a GOD calls you and where the needs of the world meet is where our calling is. That is so true, for each of us we have our own calling. That calling has been put into us by God. Whether it is to be a teacher, minister, office manager, to serve others, be a behind the scenes person or whatever makes us glad. The place where our own personal call and the place where the worlds desire and need is becomes our personal calling.Social responsibility is something entirely different but yet the same. It comes from several different passages.Leviticus 19:18 "'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD."orMatthew 22:36-40 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."Our sense of responsibility can also be called social responsibility. This responsibility also comes as mandate and a call from God, but is different than our own personal call. Social responsibility is not a personal call but a universal call. It was best described to me by my wife last night in a pretty cool illustration. She said if someone where to knock on our door with a need right now we would in our best way possible to help them. If they needed food we would help them to the best of our abilities. If they needed a million dollars it would be beyond us and would take a community to solve the problem. The Bible talks about that we need to aid and love those around us. Those that need someone to listen to them, support them, be a confidant, among a myriad of other things.I am socially responsible for many of the issues in the world but that does not mean that it becomes my singular focus. Social responsibility is a broad focus while a personal calling is narrow. We need to balance the "other" issues that God calls us to while we continue to pursue our God given calling.
Pastoral, this is not what I learned in school
My role models for Pastors are not the best. In my years as a Youth Director and as an Associate Pastor I think I have seen them all. First is the dictatoral style of pastor that is literally IN CHARGE. You cross him/her and there is trouble. This style of pastor has a tight reign on the vision, Session, staff, and everything that has to do with church. Then you have the laid back pastor. That lets you do pretty much whatever you want to do as long as they do not catch grief from it. I can go on and on. Then you have the ego driven pastor, absent pastor, clueless pastor, spiritual pastor, emerging pastor, transforming pastor, team based pastor, and so forth. This is not to say that these are bad, but each has its own pro's and con's.When I graduated from Seminary I thought I had a good idea of what a pastor was. That was until I got humbled. Going into ministry I thought to myself how great, wonderful, and spiritual I was. Then I ran into the meat grinder of ministry. It has nothing to do with the actual ministry that I was involved in, but that being a pastor is more than administration, worship services, staff meetings, and all the inner workings of the church. If I spent all the time that was needed to prepare worship, sermons, and administration the congregation would bolt. That is because people don't come to church because we can pay all the bills, have shiny railings, or the best put together worship service. There is something more: they are cared for.The last month has been a learning time for me. One would think that being pastoral is what I learned in school. It is actually, but I think I missed something in between getting mad at the vending machine for not having the right snacks and committing the order of worship to memory. I am sure they taught it but I did not digest it. Being a pastor is about being there for the congregation. Last week I sat with one of my elders in his backyard. He spent a good hour showing and teaching me about how to prune trees/shrubs the "asian way". Me, being a bad asian did not know that the amount of branches need to be an odd or even number. Oh well, learn something new everyday. For a good two hours we sat on a stone bench that he built on the hill above his yard. I did not even bring up issues of the church. We had a good conversation about HIS life and background. Stories about how he can to be the person that was sitting next to me. At the end he looked at me and was genuinely glad that I came to pray for him and care about his life. There was no agenda for the visit, just to be pastoral to him. Pastoral, nothing about the administration of the church, order of worship, or complaints about the contemporary service. Just caring for a man in the congregation.That visit alone recharged me and made me enjoy what I do. Would not change what I do for the world.
Pay Attention!!!
It is the first week of school for my kids. With that all the crazy drivers are back. In the Oxnard School District we are on a year round cycle so really summer break was only a week long. Apparently in that one week everyone forgot how to drive. Crossing the street today my daughters both almost got hit by cars in different times, and it was only five minutes apart. I usually go to walk them across the street because of the "crazy's" and today was a good reminder why. This lady in a blue Ford Focus almost ran over my daughter who was in the crosswalk walking, the lady just sped through OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. Now the question is what should I do. Maybe talk to the principal or maybe complain to the cops (yes, I know I will be the on caught). But it is worth my kids safety. Jenn was telling me as I was venting to her that my youngest rolling backpack was hit by a driver earlier this week. Uhhh…. I know I am not suppose to be yelling and screaming at people in cars but that probable would have done it. It is not like we are jaywalking across the street but using a DESIGNATED CROSSWALK! Come on people is it that important for you to zoom out of the school that you are willing to risk the safety of kids?
The Biohazard Zone
So day 1… and all is well in the quarantine zone. Never mind that it is 12:30 a.m. and I am sitting watching 3..2..1..Penguins for the sixth time in the past three hours. Yes each disk is 30 minutes long and I am on the sixth repeat. Someone help me now. I don't think I can make it through the night.Anyway, Hunter was diagnosed with Mouth and Hand Disease. I know you are going whaa?? I did the same thing until today. Apparently it is something that is going around the area right now. Great. If I could I would run… not really but I think that I am getting symptoms right now. I have that phobia, anything you got I swear that I have it worse. So basically we are quarantined or at least Hunter is for the next couple days to a week. How fun it is for a three year old to feel sick, let alone, quarantined.What makes this even better is that I have a 10 page General Assembly paper due on Monday, preaching twice on Sunday (2 different sermon), Hebrew midterm on Thursday, and working on the relocation of the church. Plenty of time. All normal comings and goings from the Chow clan.
It Takes a Thief
A show that I often watch on the Discovery Channel is called It Takes a Thief. It is about two former burglars breaking into people's houses and showing them how unsecured their house is. In the end they give them a full security makeover. Sure the premise is to show how to be safe and give great principles on protecting your home. But the flip side it shows how to break into houses. Maybe it can be an alternate career if this whole pastor thing does not work. Or I can be a Tuna Wrangler. All this is showing me is that I watch way too much Discovery Channel.
Anyway, today I helped (not alone) a congregation member "secure" her home. It was interesting going through someones home looking for ways to break in, thus securing it. In a couple of hours we secured the widows and re-keyed the locks, all for under forty bucks. And on a budget too, I got skills there. Something about it was James Bond-esque. Or not. I wonder if I should put that on my resume under "Other Skills".
Experienced Pastor with skill in preaching, teaching, discipleship, and breaking and entering skills.
Maybe I will leave that out.

These are some of the very best cupcake frostings out there!
Before I started Cupcake Project, I would have told you that I didn't like frosting. I've now learned that what I don't like is super sugary sweet, artificially-colored, Crisco-based grocery store birthday cake frosting.
The frostings on this list are all frostings that I can eat by the spoonful, and with the exception of number 7, they are all really easy to make. Enjoy!
1. Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
This is the frosting that I would request every year for my birthday cake as a kid. Once you've tried it, you'll see why.
2. Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting
Vanilla bean buttercream tastes just like melted vanilla ice cream. It's the best buttercream frosting you will ever have.
3. Brown Sugar Frosting
Brown sugar frosting is the perfect match for any Fall cupcake flavor. Try it with both light and dark brown sugar for slightly different flavors.
4. Cookie Dough Frosting
Topping a cupcake with cookie dough? Yes, please! This recipe is egg-free so you don't need to worry about salmonella.
5. Dulce De Leche
Leave a can of sweetened condensed milk in a crock pot, wait eight hours, and you've got something magical.
6. Red Wine Chocolate Ganache
Red wine gives pizazz to a basic chocolate ganache!
7. Caramel Icing
Rich luscious caramel takes time and tender loving care to make. This is not a recipe to make every day, but try it out for a very special treat.
8. Balsamic Whipped Cream
Balsamic whipped cream puts Cool Whip to shame. This is my favorite whipped cream frosting, hands down. Make extra to dip strawberries into.
9. Strawberry Whipped Cream
I know that I said that balsamic whipped cream was the best ever, but seriously, look at this strawberry whipped cream. Don't you want it now?
10. Oreo Cookies and Cream Frosting
Frosting your cake or cupcakes (ideally Oreo cupcakes!) with this oreo frosting is like topping them with cookies and cream cheesecake. This Oreo cookies and cream frosting is made with cream cheese so it is super creamy and totally delicious.

Bloomberg News
Home prices in 20 U.S. cities climbed in June from a year earlier, the first gain in almost two years, indicating the market that triggered the recession is beginning to rebound.
The Standard & Poor�s/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities increased 0.5 percent from June 2011, the first gain since September 2010, a report from the group showed Tuesday.
Prices in the Cleveland metropolitan area rose 2.2 percent from a month earlier. Prices were up 7.33 percent from three months earlier and up 0.87 percent from a year ago. However, prices were still 5.30 percent lower than two years ago and 4.51 percent lower than three years ago.
The nationwide median forecast of 29 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a 0.05 percent drop.
Nationally, prices jumped last quarter by the most in more than six years.
Rising demand driven by mortgage costs close to a record low has trimmed the glut of unsold houses on the market, giving property values a lift. Waning foreclosures and more access to credit would further stabilize the industry, and could bolster consumer confidence and spending.
�Sales are continuing to improve so that�s going to be supportive of prices,� Michael Englund, chief economist at Action Economics LLC in Boulder, Colo., said before the report was released.
The Case-Shiller index is based on a three-month average, which means the June data was influenced by transactions in April and May.
The 20-city index improved after showing a 0.7 percent drop in the year ended May. Year-over-year records began in 2001.
Thirteen of the 20 cities in the index showed a year-over-year gain, led by a 14 percent increase in Phoenix. Atlanta showed the biggest year-over-year drop, with prices falling 12 percent.
Foreclosures, though abating, are still a risk. Distressed sales accounted for 24 percent of existing-home purchases in July, National Association of Realtors data showed. That�s less than the prior month and down from 29 percent in July 2011. Such sales are comprised of foreclosures and short sales, in which the lender agrees to a transaction for less than the balance of the mortgage.

Environmental experts in the opinion that, unless we change many of our lifestyle patterns, the world will face unacceptable levels of environmental damage and human suffering. There is urgent need for tailoring the pace and the pattern of global economic growth to the planet's carrying capacity. In fact, human being has the ability to make development sustainable and to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
The environmental crisis affects everyone on the planet, but the degree to which the inhabitants of different parts of the world contribute to this crisis depends on the level of their economic development and their consumption patterns. As much as 70% of the world's consumption of fossil fuel and 85% of chemical products is attributable to 25% of the world's population. Water consumption is also unevenly distributed. The consumption patterns for forest products and many other commodities have the same direct inverse proportion to the size of population of the top 20% of the richest societies. This profligate demand puts excessive pressure on both national and global natural resources. The rest of the world, comprising 80% of its population with a share of less than 20% of global income, has a far more modest consumption level.
While international environmental concerns are often expressed in broad terms such a desertification or climatic change, the environmental problems of concern to vulnerable groups in marginal areas are generally quite localized in nature, revolving around immediate issues, such as the degradation of a particular rangeland or soil erosion on farmland or the progressive shortening of fallow. These affect the poor because they are directly related to household food security. Degradation of the resource base generally translates into decreases in production or income and thus in the availability of food. Declining soil fertility leads to lower crop yields while rangeland depletion reduces offtake, and any deterioration in water quality adversely affects the fish catch. Degradation of common property resources pulls labour away from directly productive activities towards gathering – simply collecting non-wood and minor forest products – and probably diminishes opportunities for deriving income from this source. In addition, recurrent drought or natural calamities also directly result in progressive loss of food security prospects.
Absolute poverty has been on the retreat in most high-potential areas in developing countries. The combination of more productive technologies, fertile land and water, and high levels of development and public investment have raised incomes significantly for people living in these areas. While this development has not always been equitable – or sustainable, the most important disparities are not between rich and poor people within high- potential areas, but rather between high-potential high-investment areas and fragile ecosystems. In the latter areas, politically marginal indigenous populations have been neglected. While the challenge for poverty alleviation in high-potential areas remains considerable, the prognosis is not grim provided agricultural intensification proceeds without environmental destruction.
The need for urgent action can be recognized in relation to the following characteristics of these regions:
(a) They constitute a significant part of the world's land resources. Forty percent of the earth's land surface is considered dryland, of which approximately 70% is already degraded or subject to heavy degradation. On the other hand, hilly and mountainous regions cover about 21% of the earth land mass and, although not so extensive as dry lands, they exert a far-reaching influence on other areas, primarily through watershed functions.
(b) The role of both ecosystems in terms of human habitat is also significant. About 10% of the world population live in mountain areas, where as, a much larger percentage (about 40%) occupies the watersheds below. It is safe to assume that the future of mountain ecosystems affects the life of half of the world's population. From the Andes to the Himalayas, and from South East Asia to East and Central Africa a serious ecological deterioration caused by overgrazing, deforestation and excessive cultivation threatens the livelihood of these populations.
(c) Mountains are important sources of water, energy, minerals, agricultural products and a major reserve for the world's biodiversity. Similarly, dry zones are rich in biodiversity, hosting many endangered species. Moreover, crops, grasses, trees, and livestock species, that form the core of survival in drought prone regions, exist in these regions only.
(d) A high proportion of the absolute poor in ecologically fragile areas are indigenous people. They depend on renewable resources to maintain their well-being. This has led to the development of livelihood systems which are well-adapted to the harsh conditions in which they lived. However, their traditional ways of life are now being threatened, disturbing the delicate balance of natural resource use.
(e) Rural women play a key role in on- and off-farm activities in the developing countries. With the growing male out-migration from marginal areas, the number of women headed households in these areas is increasing. Women are becoming more and more responsible for the day to day survival of the family. Women tend to be more vulnerable than men to the effects of environmental degradation because they are often involved in harvesting common property resources such as wood and water.
(f) Degradation of land and loss of its vegetative cover also have consequences at the global level, primarily because of its influence on carbon exchange, but also in terms of loss of biodiversity.
Action towards combating the menace – Over the past two decades, environmental degradation, including land degradation has continued to worsen exacerbating further poverty and food insecurity. Conversely, awareness of the importance of the environment and its conservation has increased. There has been a transformation in people's perception of the poverty problem in developing countries.
Increasingly, rural people are realizing that:
(a) the fragile environment on which they depend for their survival is being neglected or over- exploited, and it is now necessary to rehabilitate it and manage it sustainably; and
(b) the environment belongs primarily to them, and they must take the responsibility for the land and organize themselves in groups, cooperatives, village development associations and other local association to defend it.
Effective actions against poverty, household food insecurity, and environmental degradation in marginal areas require first and foremost the empowering and equipping of local communities to take up the reins of resource management. The importance of local area development and improved local governance must be emphasized. An important factor in this context, of course, is the issue of incentive frameworks and enabling environments, with specific regard to the question of how to combine longer-term concerns for environmental rehabilitation and conservation with the pressing short-term needs of household food security.

From The Produce News
Novelle Takes on Winogrond and Obregon as Two New Senior Principals
April 10, 2006 – Novelle Consulting LLC, a dynamically growing international player in agribusiness consulting based in Laguna Beach, CA, held a welcoming reception for Henry Winogrond and Francisco Obregon after they became principals of the professional produce organization.
Founding principals Allen Vangelos, Danilo Lopez and Jan van Meerveld formally confirmed their affiliation during Novelle's recent annual meeting in Laguna Beach. Charlie Palmer, C. Lou Alexander and Steven Davis, who are also Novelle consultants, participated in the event, which took place at the company's headquarters.
Novelle Consulting was founded in 1998 by these produce industry veterans, who have more than 150 years of combined experience in the global agriculture business. Novelle provides services in the disciplines of production and post-harvest, crop diversification and product differentiation, sophisticated marketing strategies, global logistics, and strategic planning to customers in both private and governmental sectors throughout the world.
Henry R. Winogrond has 35 years of experience in numerous perishable and packaged agricultural products and industries, including floriculture, with positions in management, finance, distribution, operations, marketing, consulting and software applications. Mr. Winogrond has been the managing director of Dole's banana-pineapple operations in the Philippines and Thailand, and he also co- founded Dole's 5,000-acre banana plantation in Nicaragua. Some of his other past positions were president of Great Lakes Floral, president of Southern Rainbow and executive vice president of World Commerce Online. He holds a master of business administration from Stanford University and bachelor of the arts degree in philosophy and languages with honors from the University of Wisconsin.
Francisco Obregon has over 35 years of international experience in production, post-harvest, sales, marketing, logistics and distribution of fruits and vegetables in the NAFTA countries. He has a comprehensive knowledge of cultural diversities and effective communication and an excellent rapport with Mexican, U.S. and Canadian authorities. He maintains an active relationship with farmer organizations and supermarket associations in Mexico, and has worked over the years with Tanimura & Antle, Post-Harvest Technologies, Master's Touch and the Sonora, Mexico, government. Until now, he has provided consultant services through his own company, Obregon & Associates. Mr. Obregon serves on the Produce Marketing Association's main board and recently became part of the 2006 Fresh Summit Committee. He holds a bachelor of science degree in agriculture from the University of Arizona and is the 1995 Alumni of the Year Achievement Award recipient.
Novelle does a great deal of international work in fresh produce development in Africa, Russia and eastern Europe. One of its recent projects was centered around a strategic development plan created for the state of Sonora in northwest Mexico that included an elite symposium targeted to U.S., Canadian and Mexican investors, grower-shippers and bankers with the aim of accelerating the development of the produce business in Sonora. Since that time, several projects have moved forward quickly through Novelle, including new business in the areas of citrus development, greenhouse alliances and various fruits and vegetables in the area of value-added, fresh-cut and differentiated products.
The primary projects for Novelle in 2006-07 will be focused on the NAFTA region, as Mexico and other Latin American countries continue to grow in importance as premier fruit and vegetable suppliers for the North American, Asian and European markets. Also, supermarket growth is explosive in the region. Mexican firms continue to construct state-of- the-art supermarket malls throughout the country that are challenging the capacity of the produce distribution network, bringing unlimited opportunities to U.S. produce companies and logistic corporations.

Seahawks Drop Non-Conference Contest to Marymount
ARLINGTON, Va. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland men's basketball team (2-4) traveled to Marymount University to take on the Saints (4-2) in non-conference action on Tuesday (Nov. 26) night. The Seahawks dropped the contest 75-50.
St. Mary's College – 50, Marymount – 75
How It Happened
- The Saints captured the lead to start the contest and never gave it up for the remainder of the game. Marymount strung together a 12-point run with 1:33 remaining in the half to take a 24-point lead. Miles Gillette and Gary Grant notched four points each in the opening half, but the Seahawks failed to put together a sizable scoring run and headed into the locker rooms trailing 40-17.
- The second half of play was much more competitive as the Saints edged the Seahawks 35-33. St. Mary's College recorded eight consecutive points with 5:13 left in the second half, bringing the score to 67-46. Gillette, Justin Milstead, Grant, and Tryllian Young recorded buckets during the run. However, the Saint lead was too much to overcome for the Seahawks.
Inside the Box Score
- Gillette led the Seahawks on the offensive end with 16 points. Milstead followed with nine and Grant finished with eight points, respectively. On the glass, Gillette and Grant collected a team-best five rebounds each. Defensively, Grant hustled for a team-high three steals and Jack Foley notched one block.
- As a team, the Seahawks tallied 22 points off of turnovers, 12-second chance points, and 28 points in the paint.
- Steve Etienne led the Saints with 18 points.
Up Next for the Seahawks
- Dec. 4 vs. Hampden-Sydney | 7:00 p.m. | MPOBARC Arena

Then/Now: Former child stars
Some careers are over by the time a kid turns 18, while others keep going and going and…
http://www.foxnews.com/">Fox News
Lynsey Bartilson
James and Oliver Phelps

Hallie Eisenberg
The little girl from the Pepsi commercials is all grown up! Hallie Eisenberg — her brother is actor Jesse Eisenberg — continued her acting career, appearing in movies such as "Bicentennial Man" and "The Miracle Worker." But she took a break in 2010 to go to college. She is currently dating "Voice" contestant Owen Danoff (pictured left). Click here for more celebrity pics on Hollywoodlife.com.
Kimberly J Brown
Beverley Mitchell
Madison De La Garza
Freddie Highmore
Freddie Highmore looks a lot different from when he played Charlie in Johnny Depp's "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory." The British actor is all grown up and currently stars in A&E's "Bates Motel."
(Attitude Magazine/Reuters)
Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Thomas Brodie-Sangster barely looks a day older than when he starred opposite Liam Neeson in "Love Actually." 13 years later, the actor has had roles in "Game of Thrones" and "Maze Runner."
Bug Hall
Bonnie Wright
Ginny Weasley is all grown up! The former "Harry Potter" star has since gone on to earn a bachelor's degree, launch a modeling career and continue acting since the film series ended. She was engaged to "Twilight" star Jamie Campbell Bower and is currently dating nightclub boss Simon Hammerstein who is 13 years older than her.
Daveigh Chase
Drew Barrymore
Hollywood royalty Barrymore hit the big screen as a tiny tot, stealing our hearts in "E.T." Though she had a wild child phase (complete with teenage rehab stint), the actress rallied and came back stronger than ever. These days, Barrymore is still starring in hits and directing them as well. She made her directorial debut with "Whip It" in 2009. Barrymore has two daughters, Olive and Frankie, with ex-husband Will Kopelman.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Gordon-Levitt played quirky Tommy on the hit 90s series "3rd Rock from the Sun," and then moved on to teen movies like "10 Things I Hate About You." In recent years, the actor has built up a solid career, with dark indie flicks like "Brick" and rom coms like "(500) Days of Summer." He starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in 2010's "Inception" and made his directorial debut in 2013's "Don Jon" which he also wrote and starred in.
Melissa Joan Hart
Once a Nickelodeon kiddie favorite, Melissa moved from her hit "Clarissa Explains It All" to yet another successful series, "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." After slowing things down a bit to start a family (three little boys and a husband), Melissa came back to the biz, competing in "Dancing with the Stars" and kicked off her current ABC Family sitcom, "Melissa & Joey:" in 2010. She released an autobiography in the fall of 2013 entitled "Melissa Explains it All."
Danny Bonaduce
With the outrageous antics, it's hard to believe he's the freckle-faced kid from "The Partridge family" in the '70s. Between the drugs, the arrests, and the general drama, Bonaduce is the greatest child-star cautionary tale. After the show, Danny struggled with addictions to drugs and alcohol and even became homeless at one point. He cleaned up his act in the '80s, becoming a successful radio personality. Then in 2005 he starred in his own train wreck of a reality show, "Breaking Bonaduce" and in 2007 he was the host and judge of the VH1 series "I Know My Kid's a Star." Today, Danny makes personal appearances on TV and radio, and often gets in the ring for celebrity bouts with other stars past their prime. He is married to Amy Railsback. He has two children from a previous marriage.

Sara Gilbert
The former "Roseanne" star stole our hearts as sassy daughter Darlene. As an adult, she returned to the small screen, appearing on "The Big Bang Theory" with Johnny Galecki — who played her boyfriend (and later husband) on "Roseanne." Gilbert appeared on a few shows in 2010 and is a co-host and creator of the daytime talk show "The Talk." The star has two young children with her ex-partner TV producer Allison Adler. She is married to former 4 Non Blondes frontwoman Linda Perry and they have one son, Rhodes Emilio Gilbert Perry.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Before he was king of the world in "Titanic," Leo was Luke on "Growing Pains" and starred in movies like "This Boy's Life." DiCaprio churns out hit flicks continuously. From "J. Edgar" to "Inception" and more recently "The Revenant," DiCaprio receives high praise for his films.
Neil Patrick Harris
Doogie! Everyone was relieved when the fictional child doctor grew up unscathed. After years leading a normal life, Harris came back into the public eye parodying himself in 2004 comedy "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle." The actor then took on the role of Barney on the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother," and scored a series of hosting gigs (Tonys, Emmys, etc). He's also been active on Broadway, starring in shows like "Cabaret,"and directing a production of "Rent." NPH won an Emmy for his guest-starring role in "Glee." Harris and his partner David Burtka share twins Harper and Gideon.
Christina Ricci
Ricci was a huge child star in the '90s, appearing in movies like "Mermaids," "The Addams Family," "Now and Then," and "Casper." The actress transitioned into more adult roles with "The Ice Storm," then went on to star in flicks like "The Opposite of Sex," "Pumpkin," "Sleepy Hollow," "Black Snake Moan" and "Speed Racer." Ricci married James Heerdegen in 2013.
Fred Savage
After playing Kevin Arnold on "The Wonder Years," Savage (whose brother Ben was also a child star) stepped behind the camera. Over the years he has directed and produced TV episodes of "Hannah Montana," "Phil of the Future," "Ugly Betty," and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Savage graduated from Stanford University with an English degree, and has three children with his wife Jennifer Stone Savage.
Jodie Foster
The poster girl for successful former child actors, Jodie has maintained her composure, from "Taxi Driver" to "The Accused." Some of her other movies include "Silence of the Lambs," "Little Man Tate," "Maverick," "Nell," and "Panic Room." The actress, who has two children with ex-partner Cydney Bernard, graduated with honors from Yale and speaks fluent French. She has won numerous awards, including two Oscars, two Golden Globes, and three Bafta awards. She is married to Alexandra Hedison.

Joey Lawrence
Whoa! Joey was a cute kid on "Gimme a Break!" and a hunky teen on "Blossom," but faded away for a bit. He's made a comeback in recent years, appearing on "Dancing with the Stars" and TV movies like "My Fake Fiance." Lawrence is married with two daughters and most recently starred on "Melissa & Joey" on ABC Family.
Elijah Woods
Elijah ruled the '90s as a wide-eyed brunette, appearing in movies like "Avalon," "Forever Young," and "The Good Son." Ang Lee's 1997 film "The Ice Storm" moved the actor into adult territory, and Elijah appeared in movies including "Deep Impact" and "The Faculty." Today, he is best known for playing Frodo in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but has since appeared in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," "Sin City," "Everything is Illuminated," and "Bobby." In 2005, Woods started his own record label, Simian Records. He recently starred in the dark comedy "Wilfred."
Mayim Bialik
Mayim is famous for her starring role in '90s sitcom "Blossom." Since the show, the actress had two kids and got her Ph.D. in neuroscience. Dang! She ventured back to Hollywood, having appeared on shows like "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," and currently stars as Amy Farrah Fowler on "The Big Bang Theory." She fits right in with those smarty pants! She has two sons with ex-husband Michael Stone.
Mark Paul Gosselaar
Though he'll be forever known as Zack Morris, Gosselaar has found success as an adult in Hollywood. The former "Saved by the Bell" star has appeared in TV shows like "NYPD Blue" and "Raising the Bar," and in recent years has starred in "Franklin and Bash." Mark-Paul is married to advertising executive Catriona McGinn with whom he has two children. He also has two children with his first wife, model Lisa Ann Russell.

Sarah Jessica Parker
SJP got her start as Patty on sitcom "Square Pegs" (at left) — a far cry from chic Carrie of "Sex and the City"! She's had plenty of success since her "Footloose" days. Parker has since starred in "Sex and the City," (and its sequel), "Failure to Launch," "Hocus Pocus," and "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" Married to Matthew Broderick, the couple have three children.
Macaulay Culkin
(AP/X17 Online)
Ron Howard
Little Ronny Howard made his acting debut in "The Music Man" and then played adorable Opie on "The Andy Griffith Show." He then appeared in the 1973 film "American Graffiti,' and scored another hit television role: that of "Happy Days"' Richie Cunningham. After retiring from acting, Howard turned his attention to directing, helming films such as "Splash," "Willow," "Apollo 13" (which won two Oscars), "A Beautiful Mind" (for which he won an Oscar for Best Director) and 2008's "Front/Nixon." Howard told "Vanity Fair" magazine his greatest achievement is "Forty-eight consecutive years of steady employment in television and film, while preserving a rich family life." The director resides in Connecticut with his wife of more than 3 decades, with whom he has four children and one grandchild. Daughters Bryce and Paige are actors. He has many movies lined up, including the anticipated big-screen version of "Arrested Development."
Danica McKellar
Winnie Cooper was America's sweetheart on "The Wonder Years," and she grew up to be appropriately wholesome, yet sexy. McKellar has turned her attention to studying math, and has released best-selling books geared toward young girls ("Kiss my Math," "Math Doesn't Suck," "Hot X: Algebra Exposed"). Conversely, she did a lingerie pictorial for "Stuff" magazine in 2005. Danica does the occasional acting gig, though she admits that the transition from "child actor to adult actor was a little bumpy." She's had a guest roles on "The West Wing," and "How I Met Your Mother." The former child has a kid of her own now and is married to her second husband Scott Sveslosky.
Molly Ringwald
A teen queen in the '80s, Molly stole hearts in John Hughes classics like "Sixteen Candles" and "Pretty in Pink." After waiting out young adulthood in France, Ringwald made a come back when she starred in ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." Molly is married with three little ones. Her book, "Getting the Pretty Back," was released in 2010.
Michael J. Fox
Michael P. Keaton went on to star in "Back to the Future" trilogy and "Teen Wolf," and rode his fame wave into adulthood. As a grown-up, the former "Family Ties" actor starred in ABC's "Spin City," winning an Emmy and three Golden Globes for his role. Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1991, the actor has since been a research advocate. He has released three books (including this year's "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future: Twists and Turns and Lessons Learned"). The actor voiced Stuart Little in the animated mouse movie franchise, and has made occasional guest appearances on shows such as "Scrubs" and "Boston Legal." His sitcom, "The Michael J. Fox" show was canceled. Married to Tracy Pollan since 1988, the couple have four children.
Alyssa Milano
The former "Who's the Boss?" child star took a sexy detour (remember "Poison Ivy II"?), but turned things around, landing a regular gig on "Melrose Place" and then the hit WB series "Charmed." In recent years, Alyssa wrote a book about baseball and completed a guest role on "My Name is Earl." The actress starred in the short-lived sitcom "Romantically Challenged" and formerly starred on ABC's "Mistresses." She is married to Dave Bugliari and they have two children.
Natalie Portman
Portman was 12 when she landed a role in 1994's "The Professional," launching her career. Though she took a break to study at Harvard, smarty-pants Natalie came back bigger than ever. Some of her hits include "Beautiful Girls," "Where the Heart Is," "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones," "Garden State," "Closer," "The Other Boleyn Girl," "Brothers" and "Black Swan." She married Benjamin Millepied in 2012 and they have one son, Aleph.
Anna Paquin
Anna won an Oscar at the tender age of 11 for her work in "The Piano." Almost half a decade later, she came back with movies like "She's All That" and the X-Men franchise. Her HBO series "True Blood" earned Paquin acclaim; she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in 2008. Anna is currently married her "True Blood" co-star, Stephen Moyer. The couple welcomed twins in 2012.
