Written on May 4, 2012 at 11:45 am , by April Franzino
Rest doesn't always come easy— even to the weary— but we've found that it comes a little faster and better with Bath By Bettijo Organic Aromatherapy Stick in Sleep. We roll the handmade blend of organic lavender and cedarwood essential oils in a jojoba oil and vitamin E base on our wrists, temples and neck at night before we hit the pillow. Almost instantly, the soothing formula helps calm our senses and achieve a deeper sleep. And the apothecary-style cobalt blue glass roll-on is easy to tote on flights, trips and overnights.

Bedtime Breakouts
Written on July 18, 2011 at 11:05 am , by Fitness Magazine
We all thought our acne would be gone after high school, but alas, it persists—for years and sometimes decades, many blemishes incubating while we sleep. Here, a few simple ways to reduce unsightly breakouts that occur while you snooze:
- Wash your pillowcase once a week. Dirt, oil, and dead skin cells that accumulate on pillowcases can cause bacteria buildup and breakouts.
- Try sleeping on your back. Sleeping on your side puts your face in direct contact with the buildup on your pillowcase and sheets, and suffocates your pores.
- Don't sleep with hair products on. If you're deep conditioning your hair overnight or have leftover product in from during the day, either wash your hair before bed or cover it with a shower cap before lying down. Oils and waxes in hair products are known to clog pores and bring on blemishes.
- Avoid cosmetics, lotions, and lip treatments that contain lanolin, petrolatum, oleic acid, certain vegetable oils and lauryl alchol. The National Women's Health Information Center found these ingredients are more likely to cause acne.
- Get enough sleep! Sleep is vital to every element of your health. If you're sleep-deprived, your acne will take longer to clear and will only get worse.

Sleeping Beauty
Written on June 22, 2011 at 1:56 pm , by April Franzino
At a recent Mary Kay skincare event, sleep scientist Jan Yager, Ph.D. shared tips for getting your best beauty rest:
- Exercise may enhance sleep, particularly if you do it in the late afternoon or early evening, not immediately before bed or when you wake up in the morning.
- Don't go to sleep hungry or too full: Both can put your body's metabolic processes into overdrive.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed—though it might seem like a nightcap helps you sleep, both substances can increase sleep fragmentation and the number of times you wake up in the night, making you feel less rested in the morning.
- Don't take naps unless you absolutely have to: They can prevent you from falling asleep at night, no matter how early in the day you take them.
- Stay in bed only as long as your body needs to. Too much sleep can actually cause frequent awakenings at night and the inability to fall asleep.
What beauty sleep rituals do you swear by?

Kick The Habit
Written on March 3, 2011 at 7:11 am , by Fitness Magazine
Some of our beauty habits might sound innocent enough, but can really do damage over time. Here's a list of pesky habits that we should all kick:
- Hair fiddling: This one might be the hardest to break, since we don't always notice ourselves doing it. People tend to play with their hair—twisting, bending, and even breaking it—out of boredom or to just to keep our hands busy. But, this seemingly harmless habit can lead to breakage, tangles and oily strands.
- Popping pimples: We know how tempting it is to attack a blemish that's taking over our face—but doing so can cause serious scarring and even spread pimple-causing bacteria (plus oil from your fingers) around the face. Attempt to banish acne before it even forms with ZENO Hot Spot Blemish Clearing Device.
- Sleeping with makeup on: Cleansing our faces is often the first thing that falls by the wayside at the end of a busy, exhausting day. But not washing leaves pores clogged with leftover makeup, dirt and sweat—which leads to dull and break-out prone skin. Keep cleansing wipes like biodegradable Yes To Cucumbers Natural Glow Facial Towelettes on your nightstand so you never forget to wash up before you doze off.

Get Your Beauty Sleep!
Written on November 19, 2010 at 1:34 pm , by Eleanor Langston
If you're like me, you're probably prone to skimp on shut-eye as the holiday craziness starts to go into full effect. But, experts say it's absolutely essential to prioritize your zzz's. (I know, I know: It's tough!). Here's a recent TV segment that I did with Better TV that will give you some ways you can actually multitask as you sleep to max out your slumber hours. Also, here's another segment that I did the same day that will explain exactly why snoozing for 7-9 hours is so crucial to your overall wellness. Night, night!

Slumber Numbers
Written on August 26, 2010 at 9:42 am , by Eleanor Langston
One of my favorite stories in our new September issue is the Sleeping Beauty feature on page 42. While I edited the piece, I realized how important logging your seven or eight hours (or nine if you're like me!) is every night in terms of your overall health and well-being.
Here are some bonus stats that I found from the National Sleep Foundation. I'm curious: How do you match up with these results? Do you disagree or agree?
55: Percentage of women who try to make up for lost sleep on the weekends.
53: Percentage of women who say they're less likely to exercise when they're sleepy.
46: Percentage of women who eat foods high in sugar and carbohydrates when they're tired.
11:02 PM: The average time women go to bed on weeknights. (6:40 AM is the average wake time.)
67: Percentage of women who have trouble sleeping at least a few nights a week.

"My philosophy of medicine is simple – do what works, and do it in partnership with the patient."
"Medicine is not just a one way street anymore – the idea that 'Doctor knows best' is antiquated. Every human being is absolutely unique and this means that treatments should be tailored to that specific individual. This also requires that the individual understand as much about their particular problem, and the proposed treatment, as possible so that physician and patient may work together, without pretense, toward a common goal."
"This, in turn, means (almost more than anything) taking the time listen to the patient. Over and over again I have found this skill to be the cornerstone of a successful medical practice. And yet at the same time it is also the key to a rewarding medical practice. Because, for me, the most rewarding part of medicine is getting to see people from all walks of life, learning from them, and helping them along their journey."

World Wetlands Day 1998
[Note: This is the Ramsar Bureau's media resource paper for World Wetlands Day 1998, penned by the Secretary General with, as he notes at the end, liberal recourse to materials supplied by Doug Hulyer and Ken Lum. The Bureau encourages everyone who wishes to to use any or all of this paper for their own publicity about WWD '98 in particular and wetland values in general. -- Web Editor.]
Gland, Switzerland, 22 January 1998. -- Take a litre of water with an eyedropper pick up one drop and place it in your open hand by the litre container. That precious, fragile drop taken from the litre is, in proportion to the worlds water, all the freshwater available for human use, for the maintenance of optimal levels of populations of all freshwater and terrestrial species, and for ensuring the proper functioning of the freshwater systems in our Blue Planet. So full of water, so short of it!
Of all the water on Earth, 97% of it is salty and found in the seas and oceans. Only the remaining 3% is freshwater, but most of that is trapped in the polar ice caps and underground, leaving as surface and atmospheric water a tiny proportion of that 3%. Yet about 12% of animal species, including 41 percent of all recognized fish species, live in the 0.08% of the worlds freshwater available in river and lakes. Globally, in terms of species per unit area, freshwater ecosystems are, on average, slightly richer than those on land and 15 times richer than the marine environment. In addition, all terrestrial species of plant and animal, including Homo sapiens, are dependent on the availability of freshwater.
Freshwater has two other important characteristics that we have to reckon with. One is that its amount is constant (so far we cannot create water!), even if it is in permanent motion and transformation: the great "Water Cycle". Every day 800,000 million megawatt hours of solar energy (the total output of all our power stations is about 20 million megawatt hours) is used to evaporate the equivalent of 5 million Olympic-size swimming pools of water from the surface of the sea and land that will return to the surface in the form of rain and snow fall. On average, the water in rivers is replenished every 18-20 days, but a single molecule of water may take up to a year to complete the whole water cycle.
The other significant feature of the water resource is that it is unevenly distributed. Of the 129 cubic kilometres of freshwater available on the planet, South and Central America are endowed with 43 of them, Asia 36, North America 22, Africa 21, Europe six, and Australia only one. Within the continents, particularly in Africa and Australia, the distribution is also very uneven.
Water is critically scarce in many places. In general, it is considered that a country will experience periodic water stress when the supply goes below 1700 m3 per person. On average, the planet has some 7400m3 of water per person, but there are 22 countries that have less than 1000 m3 per capita, and 18 more countries with less than 2000 per capita. By the year 2025, one out of every three people or some 3.75 billion persons will live in some 52 countries affected by water stress or chronic water scarcity.
The scarcity of water has placed the issue at the top of the international political agenda. Water is a shared resource: 40% of the world population live in the more than 200 river basins that are shared by two or more. Thus, managing water with a sound whole-basin approach requires a strong dose of political will to cooperate for the common good. Otherwise, water, the source of life, could easily become the source of deadly confrontations.
The finite nature of the resource, its uneven distribution and the fact that ones access to it may depend on other peoples options, are compounded with the highly "intrusive" nature of the human species. Most freshwater systems have been heavily exploited in the quest for human development a process far from completion, if we take into account that at present 1 billion people still lack an adequate supply of water and 1.7 billion have no proper sanitation. Considering that the world population is projected to increase by 50% over the next 30 years, and taking into account current trends in water use, the demand can be expected to grow by over 650% in the same period.
Many of the natural river flows and the floodplains upon which we live have been regulated and controlled through major engineering works, particularly in the developed world. In the USA only 2% of the countrys 5.1 million km of rivers remain free flowing and undeveloped, with more than 85% of inland waters artificially controlled. In Europe, the Rhine river is now cut off from its original floodplain for 90% of its 1,300 km, and the fast-flowing constructed channel is digging a deeper and still faster channel on its way to the Low Countries. People along its banks have experienced 10 major floods in the past 20 years, including the 1995 flood which caused the evacuation of 250,000 people in the Netherlands and cost an estimated US$1 billion in damage.
Water system regulations and drainage for agriculture and urban development have been the major causes of the loss of over 50% of the wetlands in countries such as the USA, New Zealand, Australia, Pakistan, Thailand, Niger, Chad, Tanzania, India, Viet Nam, and Italy. This has happened at a time when there was little knowledge and recognition of two important factors. The first is that in making decisions about water use, the environment itself is an important user of water. It sounds like a platitude: water systems needs water (the right quantity in the right place) to function properly and to secure a constant and quality supply for other users. Yet some water managers still have difficulty understanding that the allocations for human use can only be satisfied in the long term by first ensuring the "environmental allocation" that the systems require to continue to perform. The second factor that has affected wetlands has been widespread ignorance about the multiple and beneficial functions that they perform in the basins and coastal areas where they are located.
Times are changing. One hundred and six countries have joined the Convention on Wetlands, originally signed on 2 February 1971 in the Iranian city of Ramsar, on the Caspian sea. By so doing, these countries have committed themselves to engage in a process of identifying sites within their territories than can be classified as "wetlands of international importance", so as to provide special attention to their conservation and sustainable use. Almost 900 such sites, covering some 67,500,000 hectares (more than the total area of France or Kenya), have been placed so far in the Ramsar List kept by the Convention. In addition, the parties to the treaty have engaged themselves to promote the sustainable use of all wetlands within their territories, through the adoption of appropriate policies and legislation. None of the 106 member countries has yet applied the Convention to the fullest extent and it would be false to claim that all wetlands are definitively saved in any of them. But important progress is being made, and there are clear signals that countries and, even more importantly, societies are changing their perception of wetland values, and acting accordingly.
Bathed in shallow water, and often saturated with nutrients, wetlands make up some of the most productive natural systems on Earth, and they also provide an ideal medium for moving both people and goods. It is no surprise that wetland areas were the birthplace of the agricultural revolutions that heralded the dawn of human progress. Nearly all the great ancient states were founded by "wetland peoples". Today, the wetlands that nurtured these great civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt, and the valleys of the Niger, Indus and Mekong rivers, continue to be essential to the health, welfare and safety of people who live in or near them. Of the 10 largest modern conurbations in the world seven border upon estuarine wetlands: Buenos Aires, London, Los Angeles, New York, Osaka, Shangai and Tokyo.
Most of the fish we eat depend upon wetlands at some stage in their life cycle, while millions of cattle and wild herbivores are supported by floodplain pastures. In 1995, inland water fisheries and inland aquaculture production supplied 7 million tons and 14.6 millions tons, respectively, for direct consumption and processing, and the sale of fish generated important incomes for many communities and business worldwide. In Asia alone, it is estimated that more than 2 billion people depend on wetland crops and fish as their staple and protein sources. Estuarine and coastal wetlands mangrove forests, salt marshes, seagrass beds and mud flats have enormous biological productivity and are important nursery grounds for marine fishes as well as defences of low-lying coasts against sea storms.
In many places, wetlands play a significant role both in the recharge of aquifers and in groundwater discharge. In Peninsular Malaysia, peat swamp forest is being conserved in order to provide reliable sources of water for the neighboring rice schemes during the dry season. In Amboseli National Park in Kenya, the most important source of water is a series of springs which have their origins on Mt. Kilimanjaro and which, after percolating through porous lava soils, re-emerge in the Amboseli Basin in a series of small swamps.
Where streams are straightened and uplands denuded of forests and swamps, flash floods cause chaos after storms, and the accelerated run-off leaves little to rely on in summer drought. The draining and ploughing of floodplains and riverine wetlands have had a similar effect in hydrological terms to the loss of upland forests. For example, a study by the Illinois State Water Survey in the USA found that every 1 percent increase in watershed area covered by wetlands decreased flood peaks in streams by nearly 4 percent. A lot could also be said about the role of wetlands in contributing to water quality they have been called the "kidneys of the planet" because of their cleansing of the water passing through them as well as on their role in supplying water for many local communities.
Integrated water resources management (IWRM), including informed participation of all stakeholders, is being promoted as the new paradigm to respond to the impending water crisis. To be truly "integrated" this approach has to consider the water requirements of the natural ecosystems as a key user. On their health and adequate performance depends the satisfaction of all other users needs: households, industry, irrigation, energy generation. Wetlands are an important component of most aquatic systems, and thus they deserve a place around the "integrated management" table. The Convention on Wetlands, when celebrating its 27th anniversary on 2 February, should get ready to occupy that place at the table, bringing its experience over all these years to assist the world in ensuring that water continues to be available for environmentally sound human development.

Randy Travis suffered a stroke Wednesday as a complication of his congestive heart failure. Doctors at The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano say the singer underwent surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. Travis remains in critical condition.
A release from Travis's PR firm says the singer's friends and family are with him at the hospital, and they request everyone's prayers and support. He has been hospitalized since Sunday.
Earlier in the day, the singer's condition had stabilized and he was showing signs of improvement, according to a statement from his physicians, Dr. William Gray and Dr. Michael Mack , at The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano in Plano, TX.
Travis was admitted to Baylor Medical Center in McKinney, TX last Sunday after suffering from a viral upper respiratory illness for about three weeks. Doctors subsequently diagnosed him with presumptive viral cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. Cardiomyopathy is a weakening of the heart muscle.
After doctors installed a device to help Travis's heart pump blood more efficiently, the 54-year-old singer was transferred from McKinney to Plano for a higher level of specialized care.

@mcleve02 -- Yeah, I watched my younger brother play some of it, and it's a well-made game. I'll rent it in the nearby future, for sure.

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx haha no worries... I will say a quick easy way to see they do this crap is just play the game Arkham City... There are several comics where they portray her sexuality towards him but Arkham City is quicker to find!
It's a very mature outlook! You're looking at what the symbolism each character represents! And that is how they should be viewed anyhow!
@mcleve02 -- It was at the back of my head, but I always took The Joker as a platonic sociopath. The only motivation to keeping Harley Quinn around was for a fan base, encouragement of some sort. They are both sociopaths, and share views and preferences, which is a bonus.
I'm oblivious to their background, but that's my take on it.

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx haha welcome to old school movieweb my friend!!! Come on... like you didn't think The Joker is doing that... that annoying bitch needs to be worth having around somehow! haha

I've enjoyed reading your funny argument and I was and am a Marvel fan, but @monkeyiron2-0 don't think Marvel has many of the same problems that DC does if not more.
@bawnian-dexeus@mcleve02 You know what @monkeyiron2-0 has been up to lately?
@monkeyiron2-0 You are aware that 1. Your comment makes no sense monkey and 2. I'm pretty sure Marvel has villains and heroes. I may be wrong on this so let me call in an expert...
@comicbookfan does Marvel have heroes and villains?? Monkey has made me question my comic book knowledge
@mcleve02 than the chaos makes a villains and heroes....see this i why I love MARVEL
2 years agoby @monkeyiron2-0Flag
@monkeyiron2-0 Because the world is a sh*t hole... It doesn't matter where they go... The world is a land of chaos. It will find you, no matter where you go!
@mcleve02 why don't Gotham Citizens move I mean it's a sh*t hole that will never get clean!!!
2 years agoby @monkeyiron2-0Flag
@monkeyiron2-0 Ahhh I see you haven't even tried to research how The Joker came back 50 years later in complete young and full health to f*ck over Gotham again!!! But it must be hard for a Monkey to figure out how to use a computer. Typing with one fat and hairy finger on Movieweb is tough enough.
@mcleve02 again antidote..push....dies for real there's no coming back unless your son decides to go down that road
2 years agoby @monkeyiron2-0Flag
@monkeyiron2-0 Ahhh Batman Beyond eturn of the Joker. Try and kill me I wi always come back!!! And why not have a bonus, destroy Robin's life in the process!!! You can't kill The Joker!!! The Joker is more than the person... He is an idea!!! He will never go away... I will sit back and worship the chaos that happens around me!!! Things to bring smiles to my face!!! Hell you can only imagine the grin I had as King Kong plummeted to his death!!!!!! Hahaha!!!!
@mcleve02 an icon who dies when he pushes the guy who is holding the cure to his disease and that's not a loser!!!

BOSTON - Questioned on whether the Blackhawks could escape the clenches of the Bruins, from which the equally potent Penguins were unable to break free, Dave Bolland responded with a sly grin and definitive response.
"We'll do it," he said, before repeating the phrase. "We'll do it. It's an easy answer right."
Not much has come easy for Chicago in recent days. After outlasting Boston in a triple OT thriller, the Hawks - save for a dominant opening frame in Game 2 - have been squeezed into submission by their stingy Bruin counterparts, who have allowed just 17 goals in the past 12 games, an incredible run of defensive prowess.
Engulfed in a slide of 120-plus minutes without scoring, the Blackhawks now trail the series 2-1 with Game 4 on deck at TD Garden on Wednesday evening.
"I know it's ugly sometimes out there and people can look from the outside and say that the series is lopsided or whatever," Patrick Sharp opined on Tuesday afternoon, "[but] we win Game 4 we're in great shape and that's our focus right now."
Generating some pop to a typically potent attack will be the starting point, helped immeasurably by the likely return of Marian Hossa, who missed Game 3 with a mysterious upper-body injury.
Sharp's goal midway through the first frame of Game 2 was the last Chicago managed, this from a team that led the West in scoring by a pretty sizeable margin (Anaheim was second with 15 fewer goals). Tested with similar circumstance in the second round against Detroit, during which they combined for two goals in three straight losses, the Blackhawks managed to rally with a trio of victories, sniping 10 in the process.
"We found a way to get ourselves back into it and that's what we're looking for," head coach Joel Quenneville said, looking for the split in Boston before heading back to Chicago for Game 5.
"We stuck to our game-plan," added Bolland of the process for a comeback against the Red Wings. "We threw pucks at the net, we got bodies to the net and we did things to crowd [Jimmy] Howard."
More of the same against the locked in Tuukka Rask is on the agenda. The 26-year-old Bruins keeper owns a .946 save percentage so far in the postseason, a mark that no goaltender - with at least 10 starts - has bested in the past 15 seasons (Jonathan Quick in 2012 and Patrick Lalime in 2002 equaled the mark).
Quenneville suggested a rougher and more consistent line to the Boston crease by those without the puck, anything to create a disturbance in front of Rask. "That's where we've got to be looking to travel and get there," Quenneville said. "And make sure that he doesn't see the puck. Conveniently, we put a lot of pucks right in his mitt; I think we've got to make sure that [we get] better puck placement as well."
"They do a good job of protecting their net," added Sharp, "so it's tough to do that. When we can't get inside their goaltender makes those saves."
Additionally, the Hawks must, according to Bolland, pick their spots for rushes of speed and skill. "They sort of wait for us to make those mistakes and they pounce on them," he said of Boston's stealth neutral zone.
Despite the Bruins widening advantage overall, the battle at even-strength is actually equal through three games - each team has scored five - but while the Bruins have scored a pair on the man advantage, the Blackhawks have come up consistently empty - 0 for 11 - their often shambled attempts stunting any chance at momentum. In Game 3 for example, Chicago had two power-plays in an otherwise scoreless first frame and failed to muster much on either. Boston meanwhile, sniped its second of the series from Patrice Bergeron to seal a second straight victory.
"They cashed in on their power-play and our power-play slowed us down a little bit," said Quenneville, noting his team's struggles in the faceoff circle, which included six losses on seven draws with the man advantage.
More pop and finish from Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews would also aid in the cause. Kane and Toews finished 1-2 in scoring for the Blackhawks during the regular season, but have combined for just a point so far in this series, Toews grinding through a 10-game goal drought.
The Chicago captain has been blanketed with the Zdeno Chara treatment throughout, also matched up against the top line of the postseason, the hard to handle trio of David Krejci, Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic. "I know he wants to score," Sharp said of Toews, "but he takes a lot of draws, he plays well defensively, he plays heavy minutes for us. I'm not too concerned with [Jonathan], he's a pro, he's knows what he's doing out there."
With Hossa sidelined, Toews began Game 3 alongside Marcus Kruger and Michael Frolik before joining Sharp and Viktor Stalberg as the game wore on. The 25-year-old finished with five shots, including one fairly decent chance on a power-play in the first, totaling nearly 19 minutes.
Separated so far in the Cup Final, Toews and Kane, who has tallied a single assist against the Bruins, have flashed brilliance together in the past, most recently in the series-clincher against Los Angeles during which they combined for a pair of goals including the overtime winner from Kane.
Likely opting for balance throughout the lineup with Chara on the prowl against Toews, Quenneville has kept the duo apart, thus leaving Kane free from the 6-foot-9 mountain that is the Boston captain. But perhaps with his offence stunted in the past two games, Quenneville will turn back to the pair (or opt to reunite Toews and Hossa) though he declined to reveal his plans ahead of Game 4.
Ultimately, Chicago will have to find the means to accomplish what Crosby, Malkin and the Penguins could not do and that is to break the grip of an iron-clad defence. Boston has found its swagger again, looking to snatch a second Cup in three years.
"We have to win [Wednesday] night," concluded Quenneville. "We come up with a good result and we're right where we want to be."

fluoxetine (cont.)
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking fluoxetine (Prozac, Prozac Weekly, Rapiflux, Sarafem, Selfemra)?
Do not use fluoxetine if you are using any of the following drugs:
Serious and sometimes fatal reactions can occur when these medicines are taken with fluoxetine. You must wait at least 14 days after stopping an MAO inhibitor before you can take fluoxetine. You must wait 5 weeks after stopping fluoxetine before you can take thioridazine (Mellaril) or an MAOI.
To make sure you can safely take fluoxetine, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
You may have thoughts about suicide while taking an antidepressant, especially if you are younger than 24 years old. Tell your doctor if you have worsening depression or suicidal thoughts during the first several weeks of treatment, or whenever your dose is changed.
Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms. Your doctor will need to check you at regular visits for at least the first 12 weeks of treatment.
FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may cause serious lung problems in a newborn if you take the medication during pregnancy. However, you may have a relapse of depression if you stop taking your antidepressant during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking fluoxetine, do not stop taking the medication without first talking to your doctor.
Fluoxetine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I take fluoxetine (Prozac, Prozac Weekly, Rapiflux, Sarafem, Selfemra)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
Do not crush, chew, break, or open an extended-release capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
Measure liquid medicine with a special dose measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
It may take 4 weeks or longer before you start feeling better. Do not stop using fluoxetine without first talking to your doctor. You may have unpleasant side effects if you stop taking this medication suddenly.
To treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder, the usual dose of fluoxetine is once daily while you are having your period, or 14 days before you expect your period to start. Follow your doctor's instructions.

Many people have been asking whether bloons games are
absolutely the most puzzle game ever completed. No, this might not be the case since there are many free tower
defense games out there that one can play instead. But this does not imply that bloons games are awful, since it
might become one of your favorite if you try it out. In fact you will enjoy it, and besides all you are allowed to
make your own decisions then judge yourself after understanding the game. The concept of bloons games is one that
is simple and attractive. With yourself being the monkey and you have the darts; you are required to pop the
balloons using your darts. By popping the exact number of balloons that are required with the similar number of
darts given to you in advance, you will have the chance of moving to the next level.
This is repeatedly done as one continues to enjoy the
game. With this being all about the bloons free defense games concept, it is necessary for one to stick onto the
final fantasy. One gets what he or she paid for when playing bloons. However, what do you think about when you
absolutely pay nothing, pretty generosity come in here, and so you need to check on the control
Like other free online tower defense games, the
controls of bloons are very simple. This is because, entirely, this game is played with the mouse. Through slight
adjustments of the angle using the mouse, shots are set up by the players. The strength of the power of each shot
can be set up using the left button of the mouse by holding it downwards. Remember too little power of your shot
will not do much as expected. Thereby, too much power causes your dart to fire in across the right screen along a
straight line. This may knick the balloon into one way, and in most situations, many are missed
However, when your shot is charged rightly, it
travels nicely in an arc and takes out various tones of balloons. Every level in the tower defense games online is
also unique since there are various distinctive ballot placement, ballot quota, obstacles, and ammunitions. There
is no level shortage experienced through out the play, so in order to spend less in this game, you can get at the
back of the td games online concept.
Many online tower defense games depend on the angles
of your shots. Other than setting the right projections around various obstacles, the helium-filled prey is also
protected as well. How you will play and sort all the gimmicky levels showing off the bloons games capability is
also retained in these games. This means that the physics behind bloons remains pretty impressive. A slight change
on the power or shot's angle produces a trajectory that is totally different. Losing constantly does not matter but
rounds continue to move faster than expected thereby a clear setback is experienced. More than ten minutes is
expected to be spent in the levels that are most challenging, therefore in order to figure out this, various
different approaches is very necessary. Although sound and graphics may not be necessary in various kinds of bloons
games, but for a good game, they are very important. In both categories of the tower defense games online, it is
very simple and easily passable. After being drawn so well, the monkey is recognized, and a satisfying popping
sound is made by the balloons after popping them up. At this stage nothing either bad or spectacular may intend to
come out. A sound effect that may come out louder is thus muted immediately to minimize further
By pointing out the bloons as one flaw, a tower
defense games free with difficult curve may look more knowledgeable. This enables one to reach an impossible
difficult level from a moderate difficult one in easy way with some flashy show offs in the new effect.
Characteristically, the game's difficulty increases steadily at some curve thus increasing the skills of the
players alongside the challenge of the game.
Conversely, with bloons games, through out the game,
the difficulty jumps out everywhere. This will make the new players to run for a number of times into the difficult
level prematurely since they are probably unprepared for it. As this does not ruin the experience, it might end up
frustrating some players.

Gotta say, I'm into the current state of the office/play room. Its totally busy with layered rugs, and an overload of colors, books, toys. But it happened organically and over time so for this little room, it works :)
Worth Noting 06
Happy Friday. Ready for a long holiday weekend? We plan on visiting the tide pools in Malibu, crashing our friend's block party, and even more beach time. How about you? I will leave you with some nice links to ponder this weekend. Make it a good one.
1) Tove Lo - Habits is on heavy rotation for me at the moment. I know its a Top 40 song but the strange mix of deeply sad lyrics with a danceable beat is a winner. Its a well crafted and moving song and has good reason to be popular.
2) Lovely house tour - lots of light, funky little design touches but pretty spare.
3) If you like small spaces, this creative garage conversion to charming apartment is for you.
4) A little DIY rug from felt scraps.
5) I saw a version of this 3 ingredient chia pudding in the packed lunch of my toddler's classmate and I wanted to sneak a bite for myself.
6) Wanderlust - a black and white beach in Iceland. Someday.
7) I like the inexpensive prints from the shop of Julia Kostreva.
8) Leave it to Ikea to come up with the cutest little medicine cabinet that reminds me of a MUCH more expensive version by Thomas Ericksson.
9) The LA home of Momo Suzuki is just so LA, you know.
Loving My Kantha Throws
I recently picked up a few kantha throws made of vintage Indian saris quilted together and I am super enchanted with their lightweight, summery, global goodness.
I bought 3 thinking each bed would get one, but my children rejected the ones I bought for them so those are on the etsy shop now. They are all super neat though with their handmade patchwork of storied fabric faded to pastel perfection.
Just look at that embroidery work. So pretty. I'll be keeping mine at the foot of my bed until its chilly enough to switch it out for wool, holding onto summer as long as I can.
A (Kid Friendly) Day at the Museum
This being Lev's last week of summer vacation before he starts kindergarten, I'm trying to go out with a bang. One of our favorite things to do is visit LACMA. Did you know they have the Nexgen program that allows kids to be accompanied by an adult through the museum for free. Two kids means a family can gain entrance gratis. Amazing right? EVen if you don't think your kids can handle walking through the exhibits without pawing the art, running, or yelling - the guards are pretty ferocious there, the LACMA grounds are really wonderful for kids.
The first thing my kids run to is the outdoor sculpture we call the spaghetti sculpture. I'm sure it has an actual title. They love running through, gathering, and stroking the hanging rubber cords. I like to grab a coffee at the Coffee & Milk Bar across the paviliion while I watch them run around.
Next up we paint at the Boone Children's gallery. Unlimited paper and paints for the kids to let the inspiration from the museum flow. There is soothing music and its a pleasant place to stop.
Right outside the Boone gallery is a fountain good for the kids to get the wiggles out and the museum gift shop for me to browse. Don't you find that all art museums have super well designed and inspiring shops? Look at those color blocked shelves and the blue stained concrete floor.
Walking through the Ahmanson building into what is actually the grand entrance, we like to run through the lamp posts of the Urban Light outdoor exhibit then chill out at the many tables of the Ray's and Stark bar. The kids have their own snacks and its nice to sit in the shade and people watch. Or order more substantial food if you like.
On our way out we like to wander past the Levitated Mass. It gets brutally hot in this area during the summer so we leave it to the tourists and don't stay too long.
The final stop for us is Pit 91, an excavation site that is part of the La Brea Tar Pits. Its a self guided viewing post to see the work that is being done to unearth fossils of saber toothed tigers, dire wolves, wild horses, and the like. The kids love seeing the sticky smelly tar an dthe fossils. I like the newly revamped look of the site. They did a great job modernizing the exhibits with contemporary graphics and color schemes. The tar pit is actually their favorite part.
At the end of the day, I came home with a few art books on sale at the gift shop for $5 each - photographs of the American West and paintings of Southern California. Besides the books and the coffee I bought, our entire visit and all teh activities mentioned were absolutely free. Amazing right? Gotta love LA.
Ellendale Staging
One of the units at the Ellendale complex was especially tricky to furnish. The only open plan kitchen and living area is on the small side yet this is the unit that will house the baseball team so the living area had to be comfortable enough for plenty of hanging out. Most apartments are furnished by the students themselves but we didn't think they were up to the challenge of this one so we decided to furnish it. Then stage it for the photos so the students could have an idea of how it could look.
This view gives you an idea of how narrow the living room is before you walk into the kitchen. I found just the right sized sectional sofa at Plummers. It fit within an inch of the kitchen floor, almost like it was meant to be. I thought the dark gray color would be good for hiding the wear and tear a large group of collegiate boys might have on the sofa as well as tone down the intensely red accent wall.
Here you get a better feel for the living room set up, contemporary with vintage details. As I do.
The TV had to be wall mounted so there was enough floor space and room for storage.
All photography by Amy Bartlam. Doesn't she have a wonderful eye for details? And now, the source list if you want to get the look at home: sofa, coffee table, gray pillows, kilim pillow, kilim lumbar pillow, Oriental rug pillow, side table/storage trunk, rug, geo planter, vintage camera, fish tray, serape blanket, disco ball.
Ellendale Student Housing
I just wrapped up a large (the largest in Veneer's history to date) housing complex with SC Student Housing. We did 10 units in 2 and 3 bedroom configurations. We applied 3 unique color schemes throughout but kept the design consistently modern. The super great part about working with the guys at SC Student Housing is that they enjoy trying new ideas, using new materials, and pushing the envelope while sticking to their budgets. It would be easy for them to pick one beige color scheme and buy every component as builder special off the shelf. Instead, we worked together to make a truly unique luxury living complex for the students at USC. Here are some photos to give you a sense of the complex.
The kitchens are two toned cabinetry made of thermofoil. For such a large scale, the thermofoil was the cost effective way to go and the wood finish was surprisingly life like. The fun part was doing white glossy uppers with weathered teak or American walnut.
The bathrooms make a big design statement with the floating vanities, vessel sinks, graphic wood grain porcelain tile, and saturated colored walls and counter tops. Of course, my favorite white subway tiles in the shower help keep the high end look on budget.
Engineered hardwood floors, white walls, and dark colored walls reflect the look of all the bedrooms. This one was unique with its ceiling lines. Overall, these elements came together to create a certain branded look that hopefully all the students will associate with an SC Student Housing building. I'm working with SC Student Housing to create a cohesive portfolio so with time all their buildings are different, but share an overall design aesthetic. Seriously, how many owners do you know who would allow their designer to specify pale pink kitchens with mismatched cabinets, blue or lime green counter tops, black doors, and high graphic wood grain tile. Love these guys and looking forward to more unique applications on future student housing units.
Linday Cowles Fine Art Wallpaper
I recently got an email from the artist Lindsay Cowles about her new wallpaper line inspired by her abstract paintings and I am smitten. I want to find a place to use them STAT.
These remind me of the Eskayel wallpapers, as seen below, in their Rorschach test beauty, but they are their own unique presentation. Wouldn't any of these look amazing in a powder room or as an accent wall in a dining room or bedroom. I covet.
Weekend Mini Project
Here's a super easy weekend project for you to try at home and all it involves is a little spray paint.
A couple of months ago I went to the Lulu & Georgia Pop-Up shop in West Hollywood and I couldn't get this Bertoia diamond chair knock off out of my mind. It was simply spray painted gold for display purposes, but it was beyond great. I knew it was really easy to achieve on my own but there was no corner of my house that needed another chair so I just let the idea marinate.
Cut to a visit to the blog Little Green Notebook. I am consistently floored by Jenny's tireless creativity - the woman makes her own lighting, lays her own wood floors, reupholsters chairs, etc. Most of it I would never dare to try, but a little spray paint, I can do. After seeing this post for her two tone kitchen counter stools, I had an aha moment and thought why not for our little Zuo Modern children's wire chairs?
I followed her directions, but I found that laying the metal bases on the cloth tarp lead to patches of paint sticking to the cloth when I moved them. Blurgh. So I changed to craft paper (newspaper would do I imagine) and sprayed on more coats to even out the black paint. The white seats went smooth as can be thankfully. I also learned to let the paint dry completely, overnight, before trying to reassemble the chairs.
The kids little craft/snack table has gotten a little more spirit. Whether you decide to do this on a grown up chair or a kiddo version, in gold or two tones or any fun color, its a fast and satisfying upgrade that anyone can do.

In an inversion of the usual trajectory, Clinton did better among wealthier Democrats than among people of more modest means. People who make over $200,000 a year went for Clinton, with every less prosperous slice going for Obama. He won Protestants and he won Catholics. He won urban voters and suburban voters and rural voters.

The Reading List: Books to Read During The Olympics
- Wednesday, August 13, 2008
An excerpt:
This book has argued that, for all the manifestations of modernity, China's history is not another country. Now, the cumulative effects of the process launched by Deng Xiaoping are leading to a phase that could be plucked right out of imperial dynasties or from the republic. If Mao was the strong, willful dynastic founder and Deng the consolidator who saw a way of renewing the mandate, Hu Jintao can be taken as a successor who holds the keys to power but cannot turn them as his predecessors did. True, there is no organized opposition to confront the Communist dynasty, no Red Army lurking in the backwoods, no political movement marshalling resistance in the countryside. But the regime faces a different kind of risk, which again has its roots in China's early history. Since the First Emperor in AD 221, rulers have feared losing control of major forces in society, whether they take the form of questioning officials and scholars, military commanders, or, in the last decades of empire, the modernizing gentry. Today, those impelled by the rush to the market and material self-improvement march increasingly to their own drum. Interest groups, individuals and competing power centres proliferate within the overall supposedly unified structure. State -owned enterprises join private firms in playing the stock exchange and using their positions to maximize profits. The result is an authoritarian state which increasingly lacks authority, an empire without an emperor.

The restaurant which sits on the River Severn has been flooded before and owner Sally Pearce took all precautions necessary to protect her buisness by moving all the furniture away from the river side of the building.
"There was very high water levels but fortunately we are fine and the tide did not breach the flood bank although it was very close," said Sally.
"We have all been on high alert and are now concerned about what is going to come next as the bad weather is likely to continue."

THE Severn Bore has now gone through Elmore and Minsterworth with reports that the water has overtopped the defences in some parts.
The tidal surge will follow and is due to reach Gloucester around 11am today.
All agencies are asking people to stay away from the water.
Some roads are now under flood waters:-
The A48 is now closed between Oakle Street and Elton Corner
Northway Lane in Tewkesbury is currently impassable due to flooding
There are reports that Goose Lane in Rodley is also impassable
Gloucestershire Highways area manager Jason Humm said: "We've had a fair amount of rainfall on saturated ground so there has been some surface water on the highways and we would urge drivers to continue to take extra care travelling around the county.
"We've had additional gangs on overnight and into this morning and the workforce will prioritise any flooding issues that may arise.
"Rising river levels have caused some issues with roads locally and we are anticipating further issues at the A417 in Maisemore.
"Gangs are fully prepared to react immediately if needed and we would encourage people to use alternative routes."
Meanwhile, rest centres have been activated in Tewkesbury and the Forest of Dean for concerned residents.
