Bruce, S.D. (KELO-AM) - A Bruce man died in a two-vehicle crash at 204th Street and 464th Avenue two miles west of Bruce on Saturday, March 16.

Bickley, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown from his vehicle and suffered fatal injuries.
Krumm and a passenger, Joyce Eileen Krumm, 68, of Bruce, were wearing seatbelts. Donald Krumm was not injured. Joyce Krumm was taken to a Brookings hospital with minor injuries.
No further information is immediately available.

Product Information Menu
Astaxanthin, the fat-soluble compound that gives salmon its pink color, is a potent antioxidant that is loaded with numerous health benefits. In fact, it's been shown to help optimize joint, immune,82-85 brain,86-90 cardiovascular,91-98 DNA,99-102 and mitochondrial103,104 health. It also supports healthy blood sugar levels for those already in the normal range.105-107 And astaxanthin crosses the blood-eye barrier, supporting vascular health within the eye84 and protecting the eyes' sensitive cells.108 Because of all that, it's becoming highly valued as a nutritional supplement.
Unfortunately all the beautiful benefits of Astaxanthin are limited by its low absorption … normally as low as 50%.109,110 Astaxanthin with Phospholipids combines 4 mg of natural astaxanthin with 80 mg of a proprietary blend of four phospholipids to facilitate maximum absorption of astaxanthin into the bloodstream, where it's transported to cells throughout the body.
Just one softgel a day of this remarkable new formulation provides tremendous systemic cellular support.

Christmas tree possibly responsible for Phx. house fire
PHOENIX -- At 11:00 p.m. Saturday night, officials from the Phoenix Fire Department responded to a call about heavy fire involvement at a residence in Laveen.
Upon arrival, officials were able to report that all three residents present at the time of the fire (a teen and two children), made it out safely.
An investigator at the scene reported that a Christmas tree may have possibly caused the fire. While there were no injuries, the house did have extensive damage.
According to a spokesman, the PFD's Crisis Team also assisted the family upon arrival at the scene.

Dont know about the whole hype about the white iphones not coming but i just checked in with walmart today and asked how many iphones they had they said " We have 32 black/white 3gs with os4 software, 18 black iphone 4's and 2 of the new white ones......" hope this is no joke ill be getting mine tomorrow morning
you guys are all lucky bastards!!!
i was one of the first to pre order how come im not getting mine early
next time im preordering from apple.
Thats so Weird Cause This is what i see sometimes on my iPAD screen..
now i know its not just my eyes or finger prints...
get my iphone 4 this afternoon or tomm... I will be pissed if this happens ... thats two products in less then 4 months with the same problem..
i am probably about to trade my iphone 3g for a moto droid or if another deal goes through and iphone 4g
Looks like Apple is dropping quality for higher profits even more.
you guys and you're unboxing videos are funny. Does anyone really want to watch em? lol
i mite actually found someone who wants to trade there iphone 4g for a 3g
Got mine today, thankfully no issues. The screen is incredible!
iMac problem all over again! This blows, aren't you supposed to learn from your mistakes AND FIX THEM in the future?
I wanna see someone go into the apple store get an iphone 4 turn it on, and show them the defect and be like...nice try i want a proper non defective one!

OMG this guy is serious i am meeting him tomorrow to trade him my old iphone 3g for his new apple iphone 4g a question to everyone can i get it out of the box and use it with no sim i am pretty sure he is picking it up from the apple store
I had this very same problem back with the 1gen iPhone. It took months till it showed up, so just because your phone may not have it now, that doesn't mean you're safe.
iFail 4 continues...
Shame considering these people won't be able to get a replacement for what... A month?

March 2 through 8 is Severe Weather Preparedness Week.
Severe weather, in the form of tornadoes, lightning, flash foods, damaging winds, and destructive hail, strikes Illinois and Indiana each spring, summer and fall, sometimes with incredible violence.
Monday was Tornado Watches and Warnings: A Tornado Watch means severe thunderstorms are capable of producing tornadoes in and around the watch area. They are issued by the SPC (Storm Prediction Center) out of Norman, OK and are usually valid for 4 to 6 hours.
A tornado warning means a tornado has been sighted by a trained storm spotter, or intense rotation that will likely produce a tornado has been detected by Doppler radar. Get to a place of safety immediately! Warnings are issued by your local National Weather Service office on a storm by storm basis, usually for portions of counties, for 30 to 60 minute duration.
Tuesday was Tornado Safety: When a tornado threatens, you may only have a few seconds to get to safety so it's important to always have a plan. Have a preparedness plan for your home, school, and workplace.
• In a home, go to the basement and get under the stairwell, or under a heavy piece of furniture. If there is no basement, go to an interior closet, hall or bathroom on the lowest floor and stay away from windows. Cover your head with pillows or sofa cushions.
In schools, hospitals, churches and office buildings, go to small interior rooms or interior halls on the lowest floor. Long corridors with doors or windows on the end can act as wind tunnels. Stay away from windows. Avoid large open areas with free span roofs such as gymnasiums and cafeterias.
• In steel and concrete high rise buildings, it is not necessary to get to the lowest floor, but go to interior halls, bathrooms or closets. Stay away from windows.
In shopping centers, avoid large open areas and glass. Seek shelter in bathrooms, small interior spaces and behind counters. Do not attempt to escape in your vehicle.
• Abandon mobile homes and vehicles for a nearby reinforced building. As a last resort lie flat in a ditch. Do not seek shelter under an overpass.
Wednesday was lightning safety: Lightning is the most frequent important weather threat to personal safety during the thunderstorm season. Keep these lightning safety tips in mind:
Plan ahead and avoid dangerous lightning situations. Check the latest forecast before going outdoors for extended periods. Watch for storms and seek shelter indoors when storms approach.
Lightning often strikes the tallest object. If caught outdoors during a storm, don't stand next to tall trees or power poles. And don't be out in an open area where you may be the tallest object. A closed, hard top metal vehicle is safe in a thunderstorm. An open structure such as a picnic shelter will keep you dry but it will not protect you from lightning.
If boating or swimming, get out of the water when storms approach and seek shelter indoors.
Avoid using electrical appliances, corded telephones and metal plumbing when indoors during a thunderstorm. It is okay to use a cell phone or cordless phone.
The best way to stay safe from lightning is to go indoors as soon as there is a threat. A good way to remember is, "when thunder roars, go indoors!" There is NO safe place outdoors when lightning is present.
Thursday was Flash Flood Safety: A flash flood is a rapid rise in creeks and streams, or serious urban flooding, caused by heavy rain from thunderstorms, and poses a threat to life and property. Floods and flash floods typically kill more people nationwide than any other storm hazard. In Illinois, most flash floods occur in July and August, and they often occur at night.
About half of all flash flood related deaths occur in vehicles. Don't drive through flooded roads, especially if the water is moving rapidly. Flooded or washed out roads are especially difficult to see at night. Remember, if you encounter a flooded road, "Turn around, don't drown!"
Don't let children play near storm drains, creeks or flooded areas.
If you live near a creek or stream, evacuate to higher ground if water rises rapidly or if a flash flood warning is issued.
Urban flooding is also potentially dangerous. Heavy rain that results in flooding of streets, viaducts and underpasses in an urban area can pose a threat to motorists. Heavy rain can also result in flooded basements, ponding of water in low spots and rapid flooding of drainage ditches and storm sewer systems.
Friday was severe thunderstorm safety: Severe thunderstorms pose a threat to life and property. They produce damaging downburst winds of around 60 mph or greater, and/or large destructive hail, one inch in diameter or greater. Flooding rains, frequent cloud to ground lightning, and tornadoes are also possible in severe thunderstorms.
A severe thunderstorm watch means severe thunderstorms are possible in the next few hours. Be prepared.
A severe thunderstorm warning means a thunderstorm capable of causing property damage and injury has been sighted or detected by radar. Go indoors and stay away from windows.
Damaging straight line or downburst winds from a thunderstorm can do as much damage as a weak to moderate tornado, so take severe thunderstorm warnings seriously.
Very large hail, golf ball size or larger, is not only very destructive, but it occurs with the most violent of storms.

"From these examples we learn what tattooing meant for these women. They were seen as not only more beautiful, but also possessing emotional and physical fortitude to endure pain and hardship, including the pain of childbirth. A woman's tattooing was an affirmation of her strength and inherent spiritual power, procreative endowment, and as a form of clothing, an enhancement of beauty and a proclamation of her status. Finally, the tattoos were a form of recognition that allowed the soul of a woman to pass into the afterlife and join the glorious chain of her ancestors."
-Lane Wilcken, Filipino Tattoos: Ancient to Modern
Women from the Philippines from various ethnic groups were also known to showcase their tattoo's along with men, not just for beauty purposes but because also because it was a form of clothing.
Unlike men who had to earn their first tattoo by doing some brave deed such as killing their first enemy during a raid or war, women received their first tattoos at puberty as a symbol and representation of their coming-of-age and their transition from a young girl into womanhood. For women the tattoos she received represented meanings of fertility, bravery, and strength, meanings that represented her as woman and her gift of life and what she would need for childbearing.
By enduring the pain of getting tattooed from the needles tapping and piercing through ones skin it was symbolic in that if she could endure this pain, she can endure childbearing. Those who weren't tattooed were considered barren.
Some tattoo motifs represent different aspects of their lives and as a symbol of womanhood. Some were of seeds, rice plants, crosses and dashes put on ones face to mark her as a woman ready for marriage along with confusing bad spirits of enemies that were beheaded. Some were representations of the ancestors and their protectiveness over their kin, which were believed to keep the wearer safe from harm and prevent one from getting diseases. Other tattoo motifs were given as a type of medical tattoo which were to believed to treat an ailment.
Our tattoos were also not just for beauty purposes and representing our womanhood, but they also had spiritual meanings behind them. A belief shared among many of the ethnic groups who practiced tattooing was that one who wasn't tattooed would not be accepted into the land of the dead, as the ancestors would not recognize them.

I didn't make much progress on my page this month, but I wanted to let you know I enjoyed trying and will be back to try again in April...this is such a stretch for me :) and I was just too busy in March with the real world to focus
created using You Are My Sunshine by LyllahRaven Designs
mom to 5 boys, married 19 years to one patient man
I am so proud of you all!!! All the pages that you guys did are amazing!! I am working on April's challenge right now!! Hopefully you all will like it as i am mixing it up a bit!
Sorry I am late posting, but I was too tired last night.
Here is my week 3. I know mine looks a little different than everyone else and at this point it looks like wall art, but that's how it goes in art journaling. You never know what you will end up with. I followed the instructions like everyone else except for 4 things...
1.I decided that my shape mask for wk 1 was going to be a cloud border mask and I chose to put 2 and make on sky and one grass, since I had a basic theme and concept already.
2. I decided to split the weekly instructions between the 2 borders.
3. I decided to use a banner as a tag, because my alpha was too small for a small tag and too small for a quote. Then the banner was to small for a quote and that's when it turned in a word art piece.
4. I made my layout an 8.5 x11 not a 12x12. I make my art journaling projects 8.5x11, so I can print them out on my printer and they fit in a notebook.
I have more details on the description in the gallery. (image linked)

3 real-world deals despite fiscal cliff overhang
While Washington continues to argue about a budget deal, companies are making real business deals left and right.
How easy it is to focus on the tortured talks of Washington. You don't have to do a lot of work. All you need to do is turn on the television and see two leaders who obviously despise each other talk about how his opponent wants to raise taxes on the middle class. We only need to know when they are coming on, not what they are going to say -- we have that nailed down -- and then we can watch, with awe, at how hedge funds come out of the woodwork to blast down the S&P 500 ($INX) futures.
I just wish they would make it even easier. I wish when Speaker Boehner would come on he would dispense with the formalities and say, "I would sell the S&P down 2% based on my talks today." Or the President should limit his comments to "You better bang out of some Apple (AAPL), and be careful of the 50-day moving average of the transports because Speaker Boehner wants to raise taxes on everyone rather than hit up the hedge fund managers for their fair share."
Hedge fund managers should have to pay more given the annuity stream these two are generating.
But then, every once in a while, the real world intrudes, and you realize that the indices that are bouncing around off of the sinking below in Washington are made up of stocks and that stocks actually represent the fortunes of real companies.
Right now the real world is intruding in a big way with NYSE Euronext (NYX), Gardner Denver (GDI) and Alterra Capital Holdings (ALTE).
The first, you know by nature, but probably not by reason. CNBC's own David Faber broke the story Thursday morning that NYSE Euronext is in talks to be acquired by IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) for about $33 a share.
We think of NYSE as the place at which equities trade. IntercontinentalExchange, however, most likely thinks NYSE Euronext is a worldwide futures exchange with an unfortunate equities business with too much overhead. I bet IntercontinentalExchange thinks it could come in, smash the paternalism of the place and just get its hands on the machines, rationalizing a growth business (i.e., the futures) while stemming losses in a no-growth business (i.e., the equities).
It makes sense as a terrific consolidation play, and it is something that is happening irrespective of Washington.
The second intrusion of the real world into the surreal Washington world? Gardner Denver is in talks to be acquired by SPX Corporation (SPW).
You may not know Gardner Denver, but it is integral to the oil and gas food chain because it makes air compressors. Oil and gas drilling is very much in bull market mode because of the combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, and SPX is a classic industrial good manufacturer that needs to have more exposure to growth.
SPX could end up stealing Gardner Denver, which has been hit hard by the slowdown in natural gas drilling, for $4 billion, barely unchanged for the year. Still, it's a huge win if you bought it when Gardner Denver announced a shortfall earlier this fall and fell to $55. An impatient activist, ValueAct, obviously not focused on the charade in Washington, is getting the job done.
Finally, there is Alterra, a very big reinsurance company that just caught a bid from Markel (MKL), a well-respected insurer that's always been undervalued. Markel is picking up Alterra for $3.1 billion, a nice chunk of change, yet it seems as if the market didn't even notice.
And that's really the point. Three big deals, three that happened without worries of fiscal cliffs and off-again/off-again talks. Real money changing hands. Real wins to be had.

You want to balance the budget...give all these overpaid lobby protecting politicians a 5% cut in pay and make them pay for their health insurance like every american has to and you will see how much the deficit will be reduced,,,forget all the rest of the bs that both sides are flingging to America
Close the now globally-recognized as corrupt banks. End the Federal Reserve. Get RID of Wall Street. The Fiscal Cliff is resolved by Job Recovery. Arrest those who blockade our restoration and force them off our shores.
Boehner and the Republicans playing political charade in time of crisis, cliff-type or not, is reason for immediate recall elections. How long should America wait while fools, thieves and incompetents drag the nation down? There are definitely deals being made everyday in America, it's just that most of them don't do much to increase job growth. Most deals, particularly in the financial and service industries are still pretty much totally focused on cost-reduction which typically leads to reductions in the work force.
It's time for government to take real action to increase sustainable growth in America, based not on over-commercialization and over-corporatization but on what is best for long term human growth, good living and good health over time.
There is nothing to figure out. A bunch of people get together and make business deals to do what needs to be done and not being overly preoccupied with the pay-off, the pay-off being self-evident throughout the nation for its having gotten better over time and not increasingly worse.
I don't know if the world ends tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure the GOP does. Good riddance.
Now there's a wheelbarrow full of malarkey. Boner is about to get pinned in a corner with some mandatory revelation. If it comes down to economy or continued control by a corrupt financial sector, then you should invest in union gallows and rope makers... because that would indicate Treason. The show won't go on this time. When a nation is faced with going into a Black Hole or throwing financiers into it and changing course to remedy and restoration... our Plan B will trump his Plan B every time.

I remember reading The Dark is Rising for school in elementary school.
I think I probably read the other books at about the same time, having ordered
them through one of those Scholastic book clubs.
I miss those book clubs. It was so great to take those newsprint pages
home, pick out books, and take the flimsy little order form to school to hand
in. It meant that pretty soon, boxes would arrive in my classroom, and
when the sorting was done there would be a beautiful new pile of books with my
name on it. This was a fairly regular procedure at school. Alas!

Court lends an ear to complaints against FCC's efforts on special access reform
D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear further arguments from Comptel-led coalition
Industry News
Briefing Room
A coalition promoting the need for special access reform led by competitive local exchange carrier association Comptel is getting some serious attention from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court this week issued an order asking for additional materials from the coalition, from the FCC and from the nations largest incumbent carriersAT&T, CenturyLink and Verizonwhich have the most to lose from any special access reforms.
The coalition in July filed a petition of mandamus to ask the court to direct the FCC to finish its 2005 special access reform rulemaking within six months. A petition for mandamus is a remedy in which a court directs an agency to take a certain action.
In October the D.C. Circuit Court asked the parties involved for more informationand according to a statement issued yesterday by the Media Access Project, thats usually as far as it goes. This weeks order is an unusual and important development, Media Access Projects Andrew Jay Schwartzman said in the statement.
In an interview this morning, Schwartzman said the next step is for the petitioners to file a brief to discuss the merits of their arguments, which will be reviewed by a panel of three judges, who have not yet been determined. The petitioners brief is due by January 13, with additional briefs from the FCC and the big ILECs due January 27 and February 3, respectively. Oral arguments will be scheduled some time after February 12, Schwartzman said.
The petitioners would be allowed to talk and the FCC would be allowed to talk, said Schwartzman. The [ILECs] may or may not be allowed to talk.
The special access issue
Special access has been a contentious topic since the service was deregulated in the late1990s. Competitive carriers, wireless carriers and small local carriers need high-capacity circuits to connect to long-distance networks and the Internet and often their only supplier is one of the major ILECs. According to the petition for mandamus filed by Comptel and other coalition members, the dominant carriers have been able to charge inflated monopoly prices and impose anti-competitive terms and conditions on purchasers of special access.
The petition has equally harsh words for the FCC. It argued that the commission has failed to perform its core function of ensuring that the rules governing special access result in just and reasonable rates, terms and conditions, notwithstanding increasing evidence of the severe harms to competition, the national economy, and consumers resulting from the agency's inaction. The agency's continued delay has surpassed unreasonable.
The ILECs and FCCs response
In their response to petitioners charges, the large ILECs argued that there is competition in the special access market and that special access prices have come down since the service was deregulated.
The FCC in its response denied that it has unreasonably delayed taking action on special access, arguing that issues cannot adequately be addressed until the Commission itself compiles an evidentiary record that is sufficient to evaluate current conditions in the special access market. The commission also argues that it has diligently sought to collect the data it needs and that some parties have not produced information clearly documenting claims that special access rates are unreasonable.
The FCC noted that it has broad discretion to allocate its scarce resources by prioritizing other pressing policy objectives that . . . merit more immediate attention. Examples of more pressing policy objectives include Universal Service and inter-carrier compensation reform, the FCC said.
Joining Comptel and the Media Access Project in the petition for mandamus were consumer group Public Knowledge, competitive carriers TW Telecom and BT Americas, the Rural Cellular Association and others.

Antonia Fraser
Adult Nonfiction DC137.1 .F73 2001
What other readers are saying about this title:
Ryner said:
Antonia Fraser's well-researched work details the known facts in the life of Marie Antoinette – from her grand childhood as the daughter of an empress, to her marriage to Louis XVI and her life as France's queen, to her tragic and ultimate downfall with the start of the French Revolution.
Although I would recommend it to history fans, the book took me longer to complete than a book of this size normally would, partly because there was simply so much information to digest. I was also occasionally bored with the more political details. However, I find it amazing that we do know so much about Marie Antoinette and these events that occurred more than 200 years ago.
Compared with Abundance, a work of historical fiction published in 2006 by Sena Jeter Naslund which complements this one fairly well, Fraser's Marie Antoinette is a more sympathetic character. In a rather stark contrast to popular opinion, both of her contemporaries and her reputation persisting through history, she is painted very nearly as an innocent victim of circumstance. I suspect the truth lies somewhere in between.

Aren't transhumanists committing the Jurassic Park fallacy?
Given that even the smallest disruption or perturbation in a complex system can be amplified, and given that there are still so many important aspects of the mind-body interaction in human medicine, it seems like moving forward with the technological enhancement of human beings—ranging from putting computers inside us to putting us inside computers—is to court the same kind of disasters we always get when we tinker with things we don't yet understand.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 22 2011: I think this worry could be applied to any scientific or technological progress of any kind - and given the amazing success of SCIENCE and TECH as they get more and more complicated, your worries are completely unfounded.
Computers, more complicated over time? Yes. But we learn how to work with them and create and fix them at the same pace, so they have become a crucial part of your life every day and have taken many tasks away that people like you probably fretted about to begin with.
here are some amazingly important tasks done by technology that has gotten "more and more complicated" over time,off the top of my head:
Commercial Jet Autopilot
Power Plant Management systems
Guided missiles
Computer Security
Is your concern that introducing the biological aspect will create this "less than 100%" control? By the time they figure out HOW this technology works and how to implement it (it won't be that soon) they will be a lot closer to 100% by necessity - in other words for the Singularity to work we will certainly have to be much closer to 100% knowledge of both the biological and technical aspect.
As they get closer to mapping the brain, the proteome etc I think the first opportunities for transhumanism will show themselves as the simplest places that we understand the most and we will work from there.
Apr 22 2011: Yes, like guided missiles, some genies can never be put back in the bottle. How do you propose we stop governments from using your superhero technology (mentioned below) to build killing machines on a scale the likes of which have never been seen? Will our idealism about what science is 'supposed' to be used for save us?
Apr 22 2011: Interesting line of thought, but none of your examples reflect the manipulation of existing, permutable, adaptable organic systems. The organic systems aspect is exactly my point, and the rampant debacle of gmo's is, in contrast, a relevant sample case. Once we start attempting things like elective genetic selection/tinkering and efforts at cybernetic or nanotechnological enhancements, we are talking about a whole different scale.
Be clear, though, I'm not arguing in essence about whether we should eventually consider implementing some of those adaptations or enhancements. I am arguing that we are nowhere near that point yet.
The current contamination of the region around the nuclear power plant in Japan is another interesting case in point. We can 'think' we have adequate safety nets in place all we want. Sure, humongous earthquakes and tsunamis are rare, and lots of nuclear plants are online and NOT causing disasters. The point holds that in a sufficiently complex system, we can never account for all the factors, and if we get it wrong in an organic system, we could all be screwed. At least the nuclear plant is still a mechanical system.
Shall we talk about how badly the "successful" world of science and technological infrastructure will become if something that even "acts" like an organic system - in this example the Stuxnet virus - gets loose and starts to spread, mutate, and cross-pollinate with other computer code?

My ****ty team got ****tier. In other news, I'm in a dynasty league. My team right now is prettyy trash but should be able to compete next year. I have josh gordon (making $18) and bjge (making $16).

Holy hell this smells NASTY! I can smell the hawaiian ginger in it, which I like, but otherwise ewwww. For being all natural it smells TOXIC! Once it's rinsed though it has a more plant/soapy smell on my skin that I don't mind. That being said, I really like this cleanser. I have combo skin, a tiny bit oily with a few dry patches, just a little acne around my chin and forehead. That being said, I have some stubbon tiny acne bumps on my forhead - those pesky little bumps that you can only see up close that won't go away. Salacylic acid never works, and Benzoyl Peroxide I respond to pretty well, but neither helped in this case. I used this cleanser and I can see them going away! Now I'm hoping it will get rid of the little patch on my chin. The blackheads on my nose seem to be going away too. It is not drying for me at all. If anything my skin feels softer after washing. I think if I was feeling under the weather or hungover I could just not bring myself to use it since I hate the smell, but I love what it does, so I'll keep using it until I find the next best thing!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my HG cleanser for my sensitive, dry, acne prone skin. My face feels clean after using this, and it takes off makeup so well that I even use it to wash off some of my makeup brushes (it takes off more makeup than my Sephora Brush Shampoo). This has also helped tone down my acne, since whenever I stop using this my acne tends to come back worse.
I don't really like the pump because it squirts out the product, but I don't mind it much because this cleanser works so well. While my skin does feel dry after using this, I moisturize well with Cetaphil afterwards. I've used this cleanser for about 4+ years now, and although I do switch cleansers every now and then I always end up coming back to this one.
EDIT: This cleanser seems more like liquid soap. As I started trying out better cleansers that are gentle but cleanses well, this cleanser pales in comparison because it leaves a tight feeling. I definitely won't buy this again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my first review, although I have spent dozens of hours researching products on MA. And this product is my Holy Grail.
My skin WAS terribly congested, acne-prone, and tomato-red with uneven texture and acne-scars. I was living under layers of thick foundation (Lancome Teinte Idole Ultra -- about one $55 CDN bottle every two months).
For the past few weeks, I have devoted myself to a strict regimen of Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean twice per day to cleanse, followed by a toner of witch hazel in the mornings, and apple cider vinegar/green tea/aspirin toner in the evenings (50/50 and ten powder-crushed pills). After the morning toner application, I apply a simple moisturizer (Life Brand's generic "Cetaphil") mixed with a good dose of tea tree oil, and dab any remaining acne spots with Benzoyl Peroxide. After cleansing at night, I apply the ACV/GT/aspirin toner every half hour or so for a few hours. The reason for using two different toners is that the ACV smell is far too intense for daytime, and the undissolved bits of aspirin are rather grainy.
The results: my skin congestion is almost completely resolved, I am just clearing up some small residual pore-plugs, my skin is as smooth as the halcyon days of my youth, and the redness has improved by about 80% -- with a corresponding 80% reduction in my make-up coverage.
The DE cleanser, itself, REALLY cleans my face. Points deducted for the watery product, but I picked up a "foaming bottle" at the Dollarama, and it works beautifully. One pump of the foamed product is plenty.
Like many of you, I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on products over the years (I just turned 40). I am so very grateful to the reviewers on MUA for helping me find a regimen that is highly effective, inexpensive, and natural.

Wasn't what I expected at all. So this is the second product that marks my love for all organic facial cleansers ending. While it isn't completely harsh, it leaves my skin tighter than I feel comfortable, esp if I used this a lot. I'm beginning to understand that when it comes to organic facial cleansers, you get what you pay for. The best ones are the pricier ones starting from Suki's lemon grass cleanser ($32), then Mychelle's scrub ($28), then Korres Orange Emulsion ($24), then John Masters Rose face wash ($22). All of them superior to this in every way, meaning...they work and/or are very luxurious to use.
They're non-drying. Which is the biggest thing for me. Despite me being oily, I cannot stand dehydration in any form. Firm skin is nice (Suki's delivers that), but not when it is so tight that I'll become more oily because of it. I like my skin soft (hence, why you should always use organic, because no chemicals).
They're organic. Organic comes secondary to the drying issue, but it's a nice thing to know. Gives me peace of mind, and I feel like I'm taking good care of myself. No drawbacks, if a product works and is organic, it's a hands down winner.
Thirdly, the scent. If the scent is good, I always want to use it (L'occitane's hand cream, Suki's and John Masters cleansers, Fresh Rose Mask, etc).
This scent was horrible. Not something I wanted/expected to smell at all. I'm guessing I just don't like the tea tree scent. (as I tried their blemish stick too) It doesn't soothe me at all, and it would never make me look forward to cleaning my face. More like, dread...=(
This is not where it's at, ladies. There are better things out there. But my kudos to you for keeping it organic. Or at least, considering it.

I bought this product over a year ago when I was trying to use more natural and cruelty-free products. After using for awhile, I started to notice breakouts which I blamed on the makeup I was using, then the moisturizer, my diet, and so on.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the use of this cleanser, and my face is breaking out constantly. I am under a lot of stress (grad student, can't be helped...), but I need a good cleanser to help prevent breakouts despite my stress. I'm thinking I'm either allergic to the ingredients, they changed the formula at some point (I'm on my second bottle), or it is just too drying.
Biggest Problems:
-My skin is very dry
-Irritates existing bumps/causes them to scab
-Bumps aren't healing well
-Cystic pimples constantly (when I used to have maybe 1 or two a year).

I have been wanting to try this face wash for months and was so excited when I finally bought it. I read lots of raves reviews of how it cleared acne and was great for sensitive skin. This wash seems perfect in theory: tea tree, cruelty free, no chemicals. But this was the worst thing I ever put on my face. I guess my skin couldn't handle all of the oils and castile soap. It burned very badly. And as I lathered my face it would sting terribly. This was quite painful and highly irritating to me. Words can't describe how irritated my face looked after washing. My face was red and blotchy. I stopped using this after 2 days. I was very dissapointed and just threw it away.
I would buy this again because of its ingredients and because my usual cleanser (Natural Body Sea Cleanse) is so expensive. However, I really feel like it strips my dehydrated/oily acne prone skin. And even though my skin feels stripped, it doesn't take off all of the makeup. However, my husband uses it with no problems.
If you have acne or sensitive skin, don't try this product. It will only irritate your complexion. My skin hurt and cried for help whenever I washed with this (stinging, burning sensation). It is a very strong product that really can't be good for your skin, mine suffered immensely from using it.
I don't know if I saw a huge improvement in my acne but I would say I saw some. Mind you that although I've improved my skin quite a bit I have a tendency toward SEVERE acne that hasn't responded well to anything in the past and although my acne is only moderate now I wouldn't expect this face wash to do anything amazing as I still have very difficult skin that won't listen to reason. But it has kept my acne under control, smells nice and gets my face very clean without over drying it one bit. (I have a tendency to dry skin as well so that's always a huge plus for me) Once again I love using desert essence because I love that I'm not putting harsh products on my face that could really be more damaging than helpful. It wasn't too expensive and I've had it for close to 4 months and am still not out of product yet. Just don't get it in your eyes it burns a lot. I think the only thing I dislike is that it is extremely watery but I got used to that after having it for a while. Great product. Will repurchase this also.

A friend recommended this cleanser to me because she loves everything about it. I have combination skin that can go from dry to oily depending on the season and other factors. I bought a bottle and didn't care for it at first. I thought it was too drying. I normally use very gentle lotion cleansers that are usually soothing. The gentle lotion cleansers do not remove makeup well for me, so I mixed some of this cleanser with whichever one I am currently using and it's perfect. Makeup is easily removed and my skin is soft and feels moisturized in one step. It works especially well with Cereve Moisturizing Cleanser.

The Branch — There has been a different feel to this week's preparation.
It started on Monday, when red helmets were placed in every player's locker.
The team will pay homage to the inaugural 1966 team, with a black jersey, white pants and red helmet this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
They will wear them again when Tampa Bay comes to the Georgia Dome on Nov. 29.
The team's website has gone Throwback, showing all pictures in black and white.
It was suggested that all of the members of the communications department dress in Throwback leisure suits with a Falcons logo emblazoned on the pocket.
They didn't think it was a good idea. But since the players have to go Throwback, perhaps the rest of the staff should, too. Of course, they want the fans to go Throwback and buy the jerseys.
The original helmets will also have that Georgia Tech gold stripe. They only wore those helmets for one season. (UPDATE: They wore the Gold Stripe on the helmets through the 1970 season, according my man Frank Kleha, the senior director of media relations.) The Smith's had to add some Georgia Tech flavor to the decidedly University of Georgia looking, red, black and white uniforms.
The Falcons don't want Jake Delhomme to have a Throwback game. He's in a funk. But if he flashes back to circa 2003, he might regain his passing touch.
Delhomme, 34, had reconstructive elbow surgery two years ago. The whispers about his lack of arm strength get louder with each interception.
He threw five interceptions and lost a fumble against Arizona in the playoffs last season. Carolina coach John Fox pointed out that the game was "nine months ago" on the conference call with the Atlanta media.
The Eagles got after him in the season opener as the defending NFC South champions were defeated 38-10.
Delhomme was pulled after four more interceptions and a fumble.
This has the makings of a real "Throwback game" as the Panthers might not attempt a forward pass.
"My thing is that I know he's going to have a good game," Abraham said. "After a quarterback plays like that he wants to play well. Also, I think they are going to try to run the ball a little bit more. That was their key thing last year with the two good backs they have. They are going to try to run it, I think."
How are you going to the Throwback game? Watching it in black and white? Getting one of the jerseys (isn't that what this really about)? Or just going to pull out your modern jersey and go to the game? The team is 8-1 at home under Coach Mike Smith. Are they risking the record by wearing some uniforms that they went 3-11 (1-6 at home) in?

Those red helmets are an indelible symbol of growing up in Atlanta in the 70's and 80's. What a great place it was to be, despite all the losing. I remember being so thrilled each time Howard Cosell even mentioned the word Falcons on MNF–maybe once a season? How the world, Atlanta, and our city's visibility have changed…No one calls accidentally calls us "Atlantic" anymore, as Howie one did.

Uh Mr. Ledbetter you need to check your facts a little closer. The 'old gold' stripes were a part of the Falcons helmet through the 1969 season. It was dropped prior to the start of the '70 season for some reason, maybe due to the uniform change of 1971. However the helmets were worn for the 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969 seasons. I have found that the Falcons webpage isn't the most accurate when it comes to this type of thing the fans are a little more in tune. That's probably due to the fact that there aren't many (if any) people still around the team that would know.
That being said I'm looking forward to this week. These are truly THE throwback uniforms and I hope they are adopted as the alternate instead of that hideous all black.

I'm jazzed to see the game. The uni's will be fun to see, but I'm more pumped to see how the D and the O work adjustments from week one into the game plan against Carolina. The O will be fine tuned a bit. The D will be fine tuned as well.
Here's to hoping we open up a can on Carolina!

I think the Falcons should go back to the red helmets. Keep the updated bird, but lose the black, which was a Smith family era ploy by that clown Jerry Glanville to Raiderize the Falcons. All Glanville vestiges should be erased forever.

Putting an END to the color controversy, if you check the 1969 Falcons Media Guide on page 2, it says the team colors are: Red, Black, White and Old Gold.
So yes, it was for more than one year.
If the AJC doesn't have a collection of Falcons Media Guides dating back that far, feel free to contact me to ask questions that you need a REAL research library to separate fact from fiction.

A cool idea, but still merely a marketing campaign. As long as they win it doesn't really matter what they wear. This game however, scare me. The Panthers coming off of a blow out will be looking to rebound. I hope our D shows up like they did last week.
September 17th, 2009

Glad my Media Guide collection finally paid off!!!

8:24 am
It's a marketing deal, yes…….just like the uniform change currently in place. It's always about the money. Personally it means a lot to have uniforms that are good looking and the originals were the best. I really didn't understand the change and don't like our current ones. Funny how people equate that with a culture change but it never happend in Green Bay, Indy, Pittsburgh (much), or the Chicago. And the Giants ditched their horrible unis for the classic Giant togs from the '60's. I say go back and stay back.

I may just be old and forgetful, but I remember the Falcons original team colors were four; red, black, white, and gold. When announced, I imagined uniforms somehow of equal color weights. Never happened. White and gold have never been a big part of Falcon colors. Always been a disappointment to me.

Unlike some of the more seasoned fans here I like the throwbacks because they are throwbacks that we don't wear every game. If we were to do throwbacks I would like the red jerseys instead.
September 17th, 2009

I'll be there with my red Steve Bartkowski uniform and my vintage red hard hat with the original logo on it. I personally would love to see them return to red helmets with the old logo, red jerseys and silver pants on a permanet basis, or at the very least make the throwbacks the alternate home uniform and let's see them twice a year every year.
September 17th, 2009

"D" to the "Led"…this is a bad move my man. AS IF, the Birds were successful in any uniform that dates back this far. Since we are throwing back, let me test some of you "bloggers" and detail some of the most uh…memorable moments in Falcons football history:
(1) Deion Sanders. Shows up late at Hartsfield after a holdout in Black sweatsuit with giant gold ropes around his neck whick is attached to jerry curls. Fields punt in first game…touchdown. Best player in Falcons history. Period. (we let him walk for nothing).
(2) Playoff game against Dallas…1981 maybe? Danny White and company beat us on a late TD. We had the game in the bag. Bartkowski and Co. lose again. Truly heartbreaking.
(3) Charles Dimry. The antithesis of the aforementioned Primetime. Gives up 5 TD passes to Montana and Rice. Looks REALLY BAD in the process. Is eventually cut…catches on with other teams to become serviceable. I hope that Chris Houston does not go this route when we hit NE next week.
(4) Minnesota in 1998, of course. Sadly, Eugene in Miami two weeks later. A microcosm of the Falcons's franchise: Up and Down…
(5) You like Jerious Norwood? Then you would LOVE Sylvester Stamps!! One of the toughest RB's in Falcons history never to enter the ring of fame, fortune…or whatever they call it.
(6) Tony Cassillias (sp?). Strange guy. Period. Bill Fralic is the best offensive player in Falcons history…with W. Andrews and J. Anderson tied for second.
(7) The return of the aforementioned Neon Deion. Fights with Bad Moon, gets upset, picks of a poor pass thrown by the most heartless QB the Birds ever had…takes it back to the house (and synergistically proclaims that the Dome was his house). Birds lose and are embarrassed again…this time by one of their own.
(8) William Andrews. Best Falcons RB ever, period. Gerald Riggs, second best Falcons RB ever, period. Eric Pegram, should have been switched to Strong Safety, period.
(9) The look in Tony Graziani's eyes when he had to fill in for Chris Chandler during a monday night game at Dallas. Fear just does not completely describe it…
(10) Aundray Bruce. Google him…sad indeed. Funny how the best Falcons defenders (other than PrimeTime) came from small schools ala the Hammer. Leads me to the conclusion that the Smiths and who ever was managing the team were CLUELESS.
…ok, back to 2009 (and I didn't even mention Marion Campbell, Dan Henning or Terence Mathis who was the only WR that I ever saw wear a neckbrace…he played with the aforementioned Jeff George) . We are in a much better place. However, I would reconsider wearing this get-up…might call up bad memories!!!
September 17th, 2009

Alex Hawkins–Best Falcon ever !
September 17th, 2009
10:24 am
Deion the best player in Falcons history? Not even close. You can't discount Tommy Nobis, Claude Humphrey, Buddy Curry, and so on. Deion was never a team player hence the reason he was a nomad. As far as William Andrews, if he hadn't destroyed his knee there's no telling how great he would've been. Best back without question.
As far as bad memories, yeah there are far too many but none had anything to do with uniforms. It had to do with personnel or coaching the latter to me being the biggest problem in the teams history. Norb Hecker? Why didn't the Smith's hire Don Shula? Oh yeah, they didn't want to give partial ownership. Marion Campbell? Great DC, horrible HC. Glanville was a joke although 1991 was fun. Dan Henning was a complete jackass. Firing Leeman Bennett was one of the worst firings in history. The list goes on….
The playoff game against Dallas was January 4, 1981 and we never should've lost that game. Atlanta was (by even former Cowboys) thought to be the best team in the league. The play calling became conservative in the 2nd half and sealed our fate.
There are a lot of good memories just way too many bad ones.

The throwbacks are real bad (as in good). Looking forward to the game on Sunday and the win in the Falcons' column.
Many of the former Falcons' players have been mentioned in the blog and I'd like to add Billy "White Shoes" Johnson (WR) to the mix. That's from the old Fulton County Stadium days sitting out in the cold weather and sipping on something smooth trying to stay warm. That part of outdoor football I don't miss when I'm attending a game at the dome. Hopefully the new proposed stadium will have a retractable roof as part of the design.

Doesn't Eugene Robinson do the color play for the panthers??? He could put the icing on the cake by getting arrersted on Ponce De Leon for soliciting a prostitute Sat. Night!!

The best throwback would be the red helmets with the white jerseys that they wore in the late '70s-early '80s (road unis??). That. Was. Sharp.

Don't forget hard-hitting Scott Case. Show some love to Fulton Kuykendall too.

What about Michael "P.S." Haynes Hailmary catch in '91 to beat the 49ners! I loved it! He was a great WR from Northern Arizona.

George Harrison's musician son, Dhani, says he had an emotional experience recording music for the movie "Beautiful Creatures" because he made the album in the legendary Abbey Road Studios. When he was young, Dhani often tagged along with his dad to the fabled London studio, which became synonymous with Harrison's group the Beatles and even lent its name to the band's 1969 album.

But it was only when Dhani's band, thenewno2, was tapped to score the supernatural movie "Beautiful Creatures" that he was presented with his first opportunity to record there. He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I spent my whole life in and out of Abbey Road. Recording at Abbey Road was emotional: my first time recording there, my first time hearing something we composed for an orchestra of that size and my first major Hollywood film soundtrack."
The 34-year old-came up with soaring arrangements for the orchestra and recruited guests including Ben Harper and the Hollies' Tony Hicks, who is the father of Dhani's bandmate Paul. Dhani adds, "I was able to put a 54-piece orchestra in Studio 2, which is really weird. It's where my dad spent a lot of his formative years, as well as Paul's dad [Hicks], who recorded in Studio 1."

"Chinese Educational System Engulfed In Corruption: NY Times" Article Response
Dan Levin, a reporter for the New York Times, went to Beijing to study China's educational system. It was there he discovered just how much the Chinese government influences and corrupts its own schools via bribery. Students who come from a wealthy family have an advantage over other students. From admissions to the seat in the front of the class, any tidbit that can give a student an edge can be obtained, as long as your wallet is fat. Since when can success in one's future be guarunteed based on wealth at birth? I'll tell you when; when people have been born into royalty in the middle ages. There was a reason why that didn't work then, and there's little reason to revert back to those old-time concepts. Success is something that is earned, not bought.
