Allergic reactions: This type of reaction, which occurs during the infusion of docetaxel, is infrequent. If a person feels a warm sensation, difficulty in breathing, or itching during or shortly after treatment, tell the doctor or nurse immediately. Oral steroids are given to prevent allergic reactions. If the person has a mild allergic reaction to the first few infusions of docetaxel, such as flushing or a rash, notify the nurse. The doctor will generally stop treatment for a few minutes and then restart the infusion.
Fluid retention: Fluid retention is a term used to describe an accumulation of fluid in body tissues and/or body cavities. It is important to let your doctor or nurse know if you have any signs of fluid retention. Watch for shortness of breath, swelling of the feet or hands, or unexplained weight gain. In severe cases, shortness of breath may develop due to fluid accumulation in body cavities such as the area surrounding your lungs, the space around the heart, or in the abdomen. Dexamethasone (a steroid)is used to prevent or reduce fluid retention in patients taking docetaxel. It is important that the patient take dexamethasone exactly as the doctor or nurse advises. If a patient forgets to take dexamethasone, it is very important that they tell the doctor or nurse before receiving next docetaxel treatment.
Hair loss: Loss of hair (including the hair on the head, underarm hair, pubic hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes), which is known as alopecia, occurs in most patients taking docetaxel. For some people, this is a very difficult side effect to experience. However, the hair should grow back once treatment is stops. Meanwhile, the doctor or nurse can refer the patient to a specialty store that carries wigs, hairpieces, and turbans specifically for patients with cancer. The patient can also call the American Cancer Society for more information (1-800-ACS-2345).
Fatigue and muscle discomfort: Many patients receiving docetaxel for injection feel tired at some time during their treatment. Even if the patient is only slightly tired, make sure to get enough rest during treatment. Muscle pain occurs about 20% of the time but is rarely severe. The patient may feel pain in the muscles or joints. Tell the doctor or nurse if this happens. They may suggest ways to make the patient more comfortable.
Rash: Patients on docetaxel may develop a red, blotchy rash. This usually occurs on the feet and hands, but may also appear on the arms, face, or body. If it occurs, the rash generally appears within a week after docetaxel treatment and usually disappears after a week or two.
Numbness: Some patients receiving docetaxel experience numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness in the hands and feet.
Nail changes: Changes in the color of the fingernails or toenails may occur while the patient is taking docetaxel. Occasionally, nails become soft and tender. In more extreme but rare cases, nails may fall off. After docetaxel treatment is finished, the nails will generally grow back. Keeping the nails clean and trimmed while being treated with docetaxel may help prevent nail problems.
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea: Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur but generally are not severe with docetaxel.
Other possible side effects: The side effects listed here include those that occur most frequently in patients receiving docetaxel, but they are not the only ones that may occur. Make sure to report any symptoms to the doctor or nurse.
As part of the patient's treatment plan, the doctor may prescribe other medications, including dexamethasone, which is used to help lessen some of the side effects the patient may have during treatment. Dexamethasone may prevent fluid retention (holding extra water in the body) and may also lessen any allergic reactions to docetaxel. Patients generally begin taking dexamethasone one day before their docetaxel treatment and usually continue for a total of three days. However, the patient should always follow hte doctor's or nurse's instructions on how to take medications and for how many days.
Use of a short course of dexamethasone, a corticosteroid can cause side effects, although they are generally mild in nature. These side effects can include flushing, upset stomach, and nausea. If the patient has previously had side effects while taking corticosteroids, alert the physician or nurse before receiving treatment with docetaxel.
If the patient forgets to take dexamethasone as directed, make sure to tell the doctor or nurse before you receive the docetaxel treatment. If the patient has any problems taking dexamethasone call the doctor or nurse.

For League of Women Voters, prison system is a shambles
Sponsored by the Hollis Women's Club, "Take the Keys and Lock Her Up," is the result of three years of research by members of the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire, who are now sharing what they've learned.
The talks offer some background on the state's decision to defend against a lawsuit filed by four women inmates at the State Prison for Women in Goffstown, alleging the state is violating their constitutional rights by failing to treat them the way male inmates are treated.
"There's a vast expanse of difference in how we are treating men and women," said league co-president Liz Tentarelli, who headed up the study with league vice president Peg Fargo.
According to Tentarelli and Fargo, men at the state prison on Concord have access to medical care when they need it. But at Goffstown, state budget cuts now mean there's no back up for a staff that's already stretched thin. If the Goffstown nurse calls in sick, there's no infirmary that day and inmates who are sick stay in their cells.
At Concord, a mental health staff provides consistent care for male inmates with structured group treatment and activities, crisis intervention and a special unit for the mentally ill.
"They are not providing adequate treatment for mental health and substance abuse at the Goffstown women's prison," said Tentarelli.
Fargo said there's a tremendous need for those services.
As many as 90 percent of the women in the prison have drug- or alcohol-related issues, said Fargo. A large majority have trauma-related problems. They have been abused physically or emotionally at some time in their lives.
At Concord, men can attend classes and study for high school diplomas four days a week. Teachers spend the fifth day at Goffstown.
An industrial training program at Concord offers inmates a chance to learn trades such as building wooden furniture, upholstering, graphic arts and cooking.
"This is what women learn for skills," said Tentarelli as she clicked a button on a laptop that flashed an image of crocheted baby blankets and hand-painted birdhouses on the screen above her head.
For the women there is no training for skills that would provide a competitive wage, she said.
Part of the problem is the old building at Goffstown, which doesn't have space for those types of programs. It also doesnt have space for the inmates. The building has room for 105 inmates. There are currently 127 women there but, in the past, there have been as many as 140.
At one point there were 60 women sharing three toilets, said Fargo.
The League of Women Voters is the fourth group to study the conditions at Goffstown, and no one denies there are problems. And just about everyone agrees that a new system with better services is the key to helping inmates rebuild their lives and avoid returning to prison once they are released. But for years, the state Legislature has voted against spending $37 million to build a new women's prison, Fargo said.
The cost of construction has risen to $42 million, and the state is waiting to hear from a consultant hired to review bids from private companies interested taking over the entire prison system.
The League is researching the privatization of prisons and, so far, members aren't optimistic about what they've learned.
"It's our great hope that this might be our year," said Tentarelli. "We are hoping that a new group of legislators will begin to look at a better solution. It's still a very punitive system when you put people in a facility where there is no hope."
The League has looked at different solutions and when members return to Hollis on Feb. 6, they will talk about alternative sentencing for non-violent offenders.
The last talk of the series will focus on the option of privatizing prisons and on education and training and how to help women become self-sufficient.
For Fargo, the immediate goal is to start the conversation on the impact incarcerating women has on those individuals, their children and families, and their cities and towns.
"This is a time when New Hampshire should be sitting down as a group trying to figure out what we want to do here," she said.
"What do you want to do?" she asked the small crowd in Hollis. "These women will be released and they are coming back to your community."

The Land Rover Discovery 3 has been named Britain's most practical 4x4 in a test conducted by Planet 4x4 Magazine.
Even if Subaru is quite busy developing their next hybrid-engine in cooperation with Toyota, the first to arrive on the market will be the diesel engines. Europe gets diesels next year and later onn the US market.
The guys from Carscoop put their hands on an internal Volkswagen document addressed to VW dealers in Europe and they found out the launch date of three important models: Scirroco, Golf VI and next-generation Polo.
Motor Trend named the Mazda CX-9 crossover SUV its 2008 Sport/Utility of the Year™. Beating one of the toughest fields in recent memory, the CX-9 was, according to MOTOR TREND editor in chief, Angus MacKenzie, the judges' unanimous decision. It topped 11 other contenders.
Land Rover has swept the board in 4x4 magazine's 4x4 of the Year awards 2008, winning 3 out of the 8 categories and the overall title of 4x4 of the Year for the new and improved Defender.
The Ariel Atom managed to win again the title of the fastest car in the world on the 0-100 mph - 0 sprint. Autocar took 29 of the hottest cars in the world, and Ariel Atom managed a record time of 11.35 seconds.
I don't know if you knew but some of the most luxurious and expensive SUVs are the best equipped for dirty off-road duty, and of course their drivers will never test this capabilities.

Banana Bread French Toast
Another How Sweet It Is recipe, I just used a different banana bread than she did.
I love banana bread. Love it. It's delicious and incredible. I also love french toast. A ton. Together? Awesome.
banana bread
Set oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Drizzle in oil. Add mashed bananas, creme fraiche, and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients and nuts. Pour into a lined loaf pan and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
french toast (about 6 slices of your bread)
Slice banana bread to desired thickness. In a bowl, combine eggs, vanilla, cream and cinnamon, whisking until combined. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and brush with butter. Dip each slice into the egg mixture for about 30 seconds to coat completely, then place on the buttered surface. Cook until golden and somewhat crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with sliced bananas, and if you want, fresh whipped cream, syrup and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs. I'd have loved to do that, but I didn't have the stuff for it and was too lazy to shower and go to the store. For a drizzly chocolate, combine 2 tablespoons chocolate chips and 1/4 teaspoon coconut oil in the microwave for about 45 seconds, mixing once during cooking time, until melty.
Chicken Meatball Soup
How Sweet It Is is without a doubt my favorite food blog. I aspire to that level of awesome. Anyway, I made this soup for lunch today, and it was delicious.
So dang good.
I love Italian Wedding Soup, and this is very reminiscent of that.
Here we go.
serves 4-6
for meatballs
Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl and mix until just combined. Taking 1 tablespoon or so of the mixture, roll into meatballs of desired size.
for soup
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon canola oil. Add onion with a pinch of salt and stir to coat, then let cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in spinach and garlic, stirring continuously until spinach wilts. Remove from the pot and set aside in a bowl.
With the heat still on medium, add remaining canola oil. Add in chicken meatballs and cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes more. (If you make larger meatballs, you will have to cook a few minutes longer. Additionally I found it was easier to flip the meatballs with two small spoons since they are all crowded together in the pot.) Once meatballs are browned, add onion and spinach mixture back to the pot, then add in stock, water and tomatoes. Stir gently making sure meatballs have started to float. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and let cook for 20 minutes. Add in pasta and parmesan cheese, then cook for 8-10 minutes more before serving. (Check your pasta frequently, because I only cooked mine for about 5 minutes at the end, actually)
After nearly 4 full days of fruits and vegetables only, I just spent about half an hour "hugging the throne," if you will.
Wow. I feel much, much better now, and this diet made me lose like 4 pounds (not that that was our reason for doing it), but somehow I don't think this was worth it. Some websites that are trying to sell you something say this is normal, but I know medically that this is not healthy anymore.
I just made zucchini "pasta," and it was legitimately delicious. So good I forgot to take a picture.
All you do is:
Using a vegetable peeler, cut the zucchini into lengthwise ribbons. Peel off several from one side, then turn the zucchini and peel off more. Continue to turn and peel away ribbons until you get to the seeds at the core of the zucchini. (Throw out the core).
Now you can either boil the zucchini for 1 minute then blanche it (immediately run it under cold water), or you can put a little oil in a frying pan and just cook it for about 2-3 minutes. I did the latter, but I wish I'd done the former because it was just too oily for me. Because of that, I rinsed all the finished pasta with water and then patted it dry a bit to get rid of all the oil.
Then top it with a sauce of your choice. I did all natural pureed tomatoes, garlic, onions, red and orange peppers, and some herbs.
This is actually really, really good!
(picture was from NYT, since I didn't take one, like I said)
Pasta Substitute!
I love pasta. Love it. Eat it several times a week. But it's a no-go this week, so I had to find a replacement.
The sauce is just fresh diced tomatoes, olive oil, onions, spinach, a bit of cilantro, garlic, and red chili pepper. I heated it for a while so it would soften and not be chunky, cause I don't really like chunks of tomato very much.
Then I poured some sauce over chickpeas, and that's it! Chickpeas are more dense and firm than pasta, but otherwise it's not too ridiculously different. And it tastes great!
I gave up on the green smoothie. Let's be honest, it wasn't good at all. I drank nearly half and starting gagging.
I'm in no way planning on posting every single thing I eat (I'm eating around 5 meals a day and have already skipped some less interesting ones) but I just wanted to make this post because it was my first time trying a Moro Orange.
So, so delicious. Moro oranges are a type of blood orange. They're red and tart and so, so flavorful.
P.S. When you eat an orange, eat the peel, too. It has a lot of vitamin C, helps prevent skin cancer, and more.
And I promise, it's not bad tasting at all. I do it all the time now.
First full day of fruit and vegetable eating.
The Green Smoothie.
Now, listen. I am a champion of smoothie-making. It really is something I nearly pride myself on. Planet Smoothie and Smoothie King have nothing on me—that's legitimate. I make a mean fruit smoothie, and a big reason why is because I use all frozen fruit and no ice. Ice in smoothies just isn't tasty. I don't like that texture. My smoothies really are smooth, and they're thicker and way more delicious that way.
So anyway, smoothies have always been a big thing for me.
But they're fruit. Fruit smoothies. Hues of pinks and purples—not green.
This felt like cheating on my smoothie.
But I read the benefits of a green smoothie, and I was pretty much (unfortunately) convinced that I had to try it at least once.
So I picked a "good one."
Homemade grits makes a smoothie that she said was actually delicious. So hey, I figured, why not?
The smoothie I made consists of
So, as much as it pained me, the first thing I threw into the Ninja (favorite blender of all time, by the way) was 5 stems of kale and the water. I had to break it down a lot because it wouldn't fit too well. Then I slowly added in a frozen banana (the recipe didn't call for frozen, but I just couldn't bear to put in that much ice). Next came a quartered (but entire) green apple—maybe the fruit would overpower the kale, I thought.
Then came about 1/2 tbsp of raw honey. Luckily I already have raw honey because it's good for my crappy skin, too, but you can find this in any health food store or quite possibly your regular grocery store if they carry organic products. It just must be raw. I cannot even begin to explain to you the massive benefits of raw honey—but let's just say it can be used to treat sepsis and third degree burns. No joke.
Finally a bit of ginger, and a bit of ice because I didn't have enough frozen ingredients to make it a smoothie.
It's not that the taste is terrible. It's not. But it's not delicious either, and I'd be lying to you if I said otherwise. But let me just throw the health benefits of this out there so you understand why someone might drink one of these bad boys:
Water: Duh.
Kale: Like I said yesterday, absurd amounts of beta-carotenes and other cancer-fighting nutrients, and it's anti-inflammatory and great for cardiovascular support—and excellent for detoxification.
Banana: ridiculous amounts of potassium and vitamin A, great for energy and support, a good source of fiber, relief of menstrual pain, bananas can even help lift the spirits of people suffering with depression and help cure hangovers and prevent nicotine withdrawal .
Granny Smith Apple: great source of fiber and good for cardiovascular support and the skin—these apples are also lower on the glycemic index than their fellow apples
Raw honey: like I said, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral
Ginger: cancer-fighting, relieves nausea, heart burn, migraines, and menstrual cramps, great for pregnant women with morning sickness
So yeah, anyway, it's the slight leafy texture that gets me. I doubt this will make an appearance again on my meal list, but I'm glad I tried it. It's definitely a good way to kick off my week of renewing my health, even if it isn't a great tasting way. Certainly could be worse.
And so it begins.
These, ladies and gentlemen, are baked kale chips.
This is my first experience with kale.
I'm generally not overly adventurous with my vegetables.
My diet is generally pretty lacking in "green." I stick to green peas, green beans, green peppers, and the occasional spinach or arugula salad. But yeah, green is rare. So a week of fruits and vegetables meant it was time to experiment.
Enter kale.
Wikipedia taught me yesterday that kale is extremely high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, carotenoids, and calcium. It prevents cancer like a boss and boosts DNA repair.
So basically, perfect detox food.
But it highly resembles a garnish, and I am not yet resigning to just munching on it raw. So when my detox partner/one of my best friends and I found kale chips, it was an automatic first choice to kick off our week of healthy eating.
Admittedly, when I began cutting it, I did not like the smell. It's not overpowering, but it certainly isn't delightful, either. But reading about the benefits of kale again was enough to remind me that a faint smell was a small price to pay for the apparent king of detox foods. Plus, it's no where near as terrible as mushrooms.
Anyway, these are ridiculously simple. All you have to do is cut the leafy part off of the stem, tear it into bite-sized pieces, drizzle those pieces in olive oil and bake for 10-15 minutes at 350F (line your baking pan with parchment paper, too). Really couldn't be easier.
I won't lie, the final product is weird looking. And weird feeling. But of course, taste is the most important part—and the taste was actually pretty good! They almost tasted salty, despite the fact that I used absolutely no salt. And they were light and crispy. I won't pretend they're "just like Lays" or anything, but they're pretty darn good and absurdly good for you, too.
Kale chips are a winner.
However, Monday through Friday of this week I'm doing an all fruits/vegetables/nuts "detox" of sorts (no bread?! crying already), so I'm going to be getting really creative because vegetables are one of my least favorite food groups. Although I do love peas. And I mean LOVE them—as in my parents got me a 12-can pack of Le Sueur Peas for Christmas.
Anyway, it's not the usual sugar-filled deliciousness I usually post, but if you're interested in eating healthy, stay tuned :)

Pedestrian Finds Infant's Body In Millington Ditch
MILLINGTON, Tenn. (AP) - Millington police said they don't know whether a dead baby found in a ditch on Sunday is the missing 7-week-old Aniston Walker, but they have called in Memphis police just in case.
Millington Police Chief Rita Stanback said the baby seems to be less than a year old. It was wearing a onesie, and the body seems to have been there for some time.
Stanback said a motorcyclist who pulled over to the side of the road saw the body in a ditch on Singleton Parkway around noon.
Andrea Walker told police Aniston disappeared on January 9 after she left her home with a 3-year-old as she dropped her 5-year-old son off at school.
Walker was arrested on child neglect charges but has since been released from jail.

Last week, the civic plaza and park building team had a smooth dirt covered foundation at Horton Plaza to build San Diego's open air plaza and amphitheater. Off Fourth Avenue.
Demolished pieces of the Robinsons-May building, last year a sign the city's past that ended in a recession had exhausted its life, had been cleared out. The grounds on the Broadway corner left an empty work deck.
The political excitement that filled Fourth Avenue before and after the Wednesday the 15th State of the City Address held at the Balboa Theater, that towers above the lot corner on the avenue, halted the 2014 times the urge to stop, and take a look at the "world-class" project, and go on, took over the streets. The grand building work again amazes downtown's workers and the mall's shoppers.
Team builders are not in a hurry to build the renovated park along Broadway that stays empty of landscape.
Wide open areas in the plaza need fresh stone. A corner wall head stood on the amphitheater top faces the plaza front at the Citibank building back, amidst the excavated grounds on top and reminders of the city's past still standing along the familiar Fourth Avenue sidewalk.
Downtown's busy San Diegans look ahead to the months the heavy block building work again makes the corner lot a field of work that will stand the test of time.

Too bad Mark Martin as a ride for 2012. It would be really cool to see Mark drive the 43.

"Merry Christmas, A.J. Allmendinger" -signed, Kurt Busch
By admin | December 22, 2011
By Richard Allen
Wednesday's announcement by Penske Racing that A.J. Allmendinger has been chosen to replace the departed Kurt Busch in that organization's number 22 Dodge almost certainly made the young driver the big winner so far in the seemingly endless shuffling of personnel by NASCAR Sprint Cup teams this off season.
Allmendinger left Richard Petty Motorsports and its historic number 43 car to assume the controls in the Penske car.
So how does all of this make Allmendinger the big winner? Consider some very important factors.
First, the Penske ride is one of the top cars available in the NASCAR garage area. In 2011, Busch qualified for the Chase for the Championship in that car while scoring two wins, sixteen top-10s and three poles. There are very few rides capable of posting those type of numbers that ever come available.
And also factor in the way the ride became available. Busch was still under contract with Penske and seemingly set to continue as the team's pilot for the 2012 campaign until a series of bad behavior incidents by Busch eventual caused a parting of ways between the volatile driver and his team. That series of somewhat unpredictable events, in turn, left Penske with little time or flexibility for maneuvering to land one of the top tier drivers.
Don't misunderstand that I believe Allmendinger is a talented driver and his improvement during his time in the Sprint Cup ranks has been impressive. However, when a ride such as the 22 car comes available, it is typically drivers with multiple race wins and championship credentials who are considered first followed by drivers who have been groomed by that particular team through a lower series or other forms of racing.
It doesn't seem too much of a stretch to say that a driver with no race wins who has never qualified for the Chase would not have been considered a favorite for the ride had it come open under more normal circumstances.
And more for Allmendinger, he is leaving a situation that was filled with uncertainty to take a spot with one of the sport's premier organizations. RPM has just recently learned that their primary sponsor from a year ago, Best Buy, is departing to take up space on the quarter panels of cars from the Roush Fenway Racing stables.
In the end, it seems as if A.J. Allmendinger came away with a pretty nice Christmas present that he probably would not have received had it not been for the bad behavior of Kurt Busch.
I currently have 1670 followers on Twitter. If I reach 2000 by the day of the Daytona 500 I will host a 'Pick the Winner' contest for that race which will pay $50 to the winner.

Man, I am ticked to no end that King Richard should have made up his own mind sooner and try to go about his 2012 Plans in a more timelier matter as I was rooting on the Ex-00 or Ragan to race the 22 and I feel that I am critically bummed,Rich, as that's just Rich!

Looks like AJ got out before it was too late. Since these things happen overnight, the lawyers have to cross all the tee, and dot all the i's after all. Wonder how long RPM has known that Best Buy was leaving? Or, was it just a conference call with RFR. The old "you need to take one for the team" call.

I have a bunch of backed-up small updates that I am going to cram into this post:
- The Giant Peach received their shipment of Women's Spring II tokidoki clothing this week, including some new items that we haven't seen anywhere else yet (on pages 2 & 3) – check it out & don't forget to take advantage of the exclusive 20% off sale for Tokidoki Blog readers.
- Lindsey from the Southhampton LeSportsac outlet posted a list of slight imperfections tokidoki bags that are on clearance there. The outlet contact info is in that linked post if you scroll up.
- So that comments like the one I just linked to above don't get overlooked in the future, I changed the setup of the sidebar at the right of this blog to include a Recent Comments list. Is this helpful? Is 7 recent comments a good number or too many/not enough?
- I have received the unfortunate news that the European clothing imports that were supposed to have been available in the USA this fall have been canceled.
- Photos of the tokidoki for Onitsuka Tiger sneakers have been released – thanks to Bridget for pointing this out! I think they're cute – which apparently puts me in the "only tokidoki fans and children" category.
- Happy Six in Los Angeles received a shipment of Citta and Citta Rosa (!!) tokidoki bags this week. They are going fast. Thanks to Tara d. for the tip.

I'd buy it if I couldn't afford my better primer. This has the same active ingredient as most primers however ALL INGREDIENTS ARE NOT THE SAME, thus, it is NOT the same product!
It does feel like the same consistency and goes on smooth when applying, however within an hour I I have to reapply my make-up.
I'm pretty sure it just feels like primer but does not have the same effects as primer. My makeup does not look as smooth as when I've used other actual primers.
Overall though, It was $5 at Wal-Mart so it's ok if you're in a pinch or just want to give it a try for yourself.
idk why everyone raves about this stuff. it's crap. yes it has dimethicone but that and it's consistency are all it has in common with smashbox pf. it made my skin slightly smooth but not for long. it did nothing to minimize my pores or to make my foundation last longer. honestly, it seems like it caused my foundation to fade faster. weird, i know.
Now I don't know how to live without it! It's such a wonderful product that leaves my skin all smooth and fair. One day I found my skin super oily after I applied my foundation and I got all frustrated until I realized it was because I forgot to use this. I'll definitely keep using it.

I decided not to use this as a face primer because all the reviews regarding it causing breakouts scared me. I used it as an eye primer instead. IT'S AWESOME! It made eyeshadows and liners go on smoothly and stay there. I applied it one morning, layered a bunch of eyeshadows that crease on me horribly, and checked it that night. Looked perfect! I decided to sleep in it to give it the ultimate test. Next morning, eye makeup still looked flawless! I can't believe how awesome this works and the amount it comes in will last you a couple years. You only need a pea size amount for the entire eye area. Works better and is much cheaper than my other eye primers such as Benefit's Stay Don't Stray. Will definately purchase again :)

It does make your makeup go on smoothly and look good, but it honestly does not help with staying power. The only reason that I didn't give this a good rating is because it made me break out too much! I absolutely HATE HATE HATE HATE ACNE and usually don't get it too bad but this definitely made a difference.
Will not buy again

Multi purpose in a box ! I love this stuff but not for what it is intended for lol.. I use it for a primer under my make up and it works wonders I am extremely oily and this keeps my pores looking smaller and keeps my make up on all day it is cheap and has many uses DEF CHEAPER THAN OTHER PRIMERS OUT THERE

This is another one of those products that I buy a backup for. It's my miracle line filler. I am 25 but have fine laugh lines and have had them since I was in highschool. I have used smashbox and the bare minerals primer and benefit porefessional and this is the best. It is very comparable to smashbox at a fraction of the cost. I have VERY sensitive breakout prone skin and retin-a makes my face peel, but this really helps to even out the texture so that my bare minerals foundation applies wonderfully. This has the Same (active) ingredients as the smashbox primer but with more of the filling silicones so I think it does a better job.

I love this product. It's great as a face primer. I apply it before any of my makeup and it makes my skin noticeably smoother and moreover, matte. Even on days where I don't wear makeup, I always apply sunscreen and that can make my skin look oily. However, I apply this on top and it makes my skin matte - it's great! I have no issues with my makeup when I wear this underneath. It lasts a while - I'm only on my second tube from using it within a year and it's reasonably inexpensive as well (I order it off eBay as I live in Australia). I will continue to use this as a face primer as it works for me and I find no reason to change to another one when this does a great job. I'll definitely continue to repurchase this.

I like how it felt on my skin, but it made my oily skin more oily. Sucks because i really wanted to like it. It worked great for my mom though, she has normal skin so I gave it to her. Now I use milk of magnesia as a primer.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a great alternative to other more expensive primers from brands like Smashbox, Make Up For Ever, etc. It has basically the same ingredients as them, costs less, and has more product! It works well at keeping my foundation on for a few more hours without completely sliding off. When I first tried it out, I was amazed at how incredibly smooth and soft it was! I use it all over my face except for my chin, because it's flaky, full of acne, and I don't want to make it look worse. It's mattifying, foundation goes on more smoothly, and as far as I know, it hasn't made me break out. At $6 for 1.5 ounces, it's truly a gem. :)

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission on Monday night advised all residents
living downstream of Speedwell Forge Lake Dam in Lancaster County to
leave the area immediately.
Randall Gockley, Lancaster County
Emergency Management Coordinator, said the evacuation was a precautionary
step in case the dam failed.
"We made the decision in conjunction with the Lancaster County Board of
Commissioners that we would sooner evacuate the people now at 6 p.m.
rather than at 2:00 in the morning when everybody may be sleeping,"
Gockley said.
80 homes in low-lying areas below the dam and along the Hammer Creek and
Cocalico Creek in portions of Elizabeth, Warwick, Ephrata and West Earl
townships were impacted by the evacuation.
dam spillway at Speedwell Forge Lake, a 106-acre state-owned lake in
Elizabeth Township, heaved and cracked last year as the result of
flooding from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee and has not been
repaired due to a lack of funds.
The lake had been drained, but there was concern the water would rise to a level that would put pressure on the dam.
One of the residents who heeded the evacuation order was Brian Brooks of Brownstown.
"We just moved in. You lose it, you lose it. You don't, then you're lucky, I guess," Brooks said. "We're in the flood plain, so it's going to happen eventually."
Brooks was one of several impacted residents who went to a Red Cross shelter at the Manheim Township Middle School.

#JamarRogers #Photoset #TheVoice #TeamCeeLo
This man blows me away each and every time I hear him sing. I've been a fan of his for a few years now, ever since he performed on American Idol, back when I actually used to give a crap about the show. I haven't heard too much from him ever since he was booted off, but a few weeks ago, I was watching NBC's The Voice, and lo and behold, there was my man, Jamar Rogers. To say I'm rooting for him on this show would be an understatement, because I wholeheartedly know and believe that he can win, if America has any brains.
Not only is he extremely talented, but he's also got an extremely powerful testimony and life story. He's revealed that in the past, he had a major drug addiction. He struggled with it for years…and then one day he found out that because of this nasty habit, he tested positive for HIV. This was most definitely a life-changing moment, and he kicked the drug problem, and to this day, he's six years sober.
Through everything, He's learned to become dependent on God, and trust Him completely. And to me, that's EXTREMELY inspiring. Now, he's an incredible witness for Jesus Christ, and uses the gift God gave him in ways that blows my mind utterly and completely. I truly can't wait to see what God has in store for this amazing man.
With every single word that comes out of his mouth as he's singing, the emotion that pours out of him tugs at my heart strings. While I've always hated this song, Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance," by the end of Jamar's cover video, I was in tears. This sounds extremely and completely stupid; believe me I know…but the way he pours out his heart and soul just blows me away.
I'm so excited for this season on The Voice, but not only that…I know he's going to go far in life, and I'm beyond proud that I can say I've been a fan from the beginning.
he's so cute,

Talking with the Lights Off
I think I was the one who proposed the idea. Whatever it was I wanted to talk about, I didn't want him to see the red glow on my face as I asked or told him the buried secret. Talking in the dark, sometimes even with our heads buried under the covers, gave us freedom. I know it may sound like an act that comes from a place of shame. And maybe it does. Or maybe it comes from a place of not having the words to express desires. The dark is a powerful signifier, however you look at it.
In the last several years we didn't have too many "in the dark" conversations. Looking back, maybe if we had used that technique we could have spoken more easily and openly about our sexual difficulties. Something I forgot: the in-the-dark chats were always held in bed. That started because at the time we both had roommates, and our bedrooms were the only places we could have these conversations. Conversations about things that would just be awkward and weird over the phone, but were somehow easily managed as long as we were in the same room, hearing each others' voices, even if we weren't seeing or touching each other.
A few months ago we had our first chat in the dark in many years. Out of nowhere I remembered our past success and asked if we could use it. I don't know why I felt I needed to do it. Talking in the dark makes us both feel more open to listening, perhaps because we can't see the other's face and react to the expressions we see there. We can only speak what's in our hearts, if we're being completely honest with each other.
What we had to talk about was something incredibly difficult and potentially painful in our relationship. As honest as I am on these pages, the topic is something I want to stay between us. But the process for working through it was an incredibly useful one. And as a result of having that conversation in the dark, we've been able to speak more freely about the issues, in the bright light of day and with a smile on our faces.

Interesting concept. I use the cyberspace to help others talk/confess to me. Is that the same thing for you?ReplyDeleteReplies
It depends. Sometimes, but I find that for us, being in the same room is important.Delete
This is a great idea. We do pretty well with the lights on - we do everything with the lights on - but I can see how this would be very useful. We might just have to try it.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think it's best saved for those difficult, rare conversations when something seems a little too hard.Delete
Hm I love this post, this idea and the way you described it. I think it ties into something I think about a lot and that's intimacy. This is a great example of the intimacy that I look for in a relationship.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Cande. It's totally part of our intimacy, and while I try not to regret too much, I wish we'd done it more back when we were totally sexless. Might have helped.Delete

Moving My Source Code to GitHub
This is just a note to let fans know I am moving my source code to GitHub this is not because I don't love Codeplex I do but people see to feel it's easier to send in bug fixes and feature requests there and it does seem to be the Home of Open Source Stuff these days.
So I'm moving my bits there over the next few months starting with my Bootstrap Friendly Controls and then my Bootstrapped Dynamic Data Project Template for Entity Framework.
See you there.

CheckBox and CheckboxList that look like Bootstrap buttons-checkbox
I really Like Bootstrap and I had the need for the Bootstrap buttons-checkbox see Figure 1 below but not being a client side genius and could not workout how I would get the selected values, and I like the use the right tool or the right job (i.e. Checkbox for Checkbox and Radio button for Radio button) So I looked around and found this article here Stuff you can do with the "Checkbox Hack" and I thought I can make that work for me
Figure 1 – Bootstrap buttons-checkbox
So I made my own CSS (in LESS of course until I can get SASS) so here is the LESS source
// checkbox and rtadio button styles
// hide the checkbox/radio button
// hide checkbox
display: none;
// Default State
display: inline-block;
*display: inline;
padding: 6px 12px;
margin-bottom: 0;

Listing 1 - checkbox-buttons and with-border-radius classes
So I have put it on NuGet here
Bootstrap buttons checkbox and radio buttons NuGet package
Add the package to your project from NuGet
Install-Package NotAClue.Checkbox.Css.Buttons
It will add a Content folder to your project if it's not already there with the checkbox-buttons LESS and CSS files add a reference to the min.css file to your master page and then decorate you CheckBoxes, CheckBoxLists, RadioButtons and RadioButtonLists with the "checkbox-buttons" CSS class and if you want to have the ends of the buttons rounded add the "with-border-radius" CSS class. You will get the following:
Figure 3 – Checkbox Buttons in action
In Figure 3 you will see I have made the selected style more differentiated than the on in Bootstrap, it's just a matter of style and usability I have some none computer literate mobile users in mind and wanted to make it clear that they had set a value.
Everything you need is on NuGet.

Adding a simple BootstrapMenu to Dynamic Data With Bootstrap
We are going to add the new ASP.Net web forms BootstrapMenu control to a Dynamic Data project, I like to clean it up a little first.
Figure 1 – Clean project
So what I did to clean my project was to create a new Dynamic Data project and then remove the scripts folder and the RegisterScripts method and method call from the Global.asax.cs file. This will leave us with no Scripts (jQuery Modenizr etc.) in the project we are no ready to add the BootstrapMenu control.
Figure – 2 Open NuGet
Next we search for NotAClue packages and scroll down to the last package
Figure 3 – Get bootstrap menu control
Click Install
Figure 4 – Installing bootstrap menu control
Figure 5 – Bootstrap menu control installed
Next we need to add the script and style sheet references.
Figure 6 – Adding the scripts and style sheets
Lets clean out the Default.aspx and it's code behind file
Figure 7 – Default.aspx file
Figure 8 – Default.aspx.cs file
Now we add the menu to the Site.master
Figure 9 – Adding the bootstrap menu mark-up
Figure 10 – Adding the bootstrap menu code behind
So after all that here it is the first part of our Bootstrap Dynamic Data Project Template
Figure 11 – Working Bootstrap Menu Control
As usual you can get the code from the Project on Bootstrap Friendly Control Adaptors and on my SkyDrive
Tuesday, 27 August 2013
Bootstrap Friendly Web Controls
A big project rename after discovering that the Menu does not play well with Control Adapters and that this is not the way forward I have now renamed the project to Bootstrap Friendly Web Controls and I have added the first control which is the BootstrapMenu
Bootstrap Friendly Web Controls is now Live on Codeplex and NuGet
Next I will create tutorial on using the BootstrapMenu control.

Who according you is the best sports person India produced since independence and why?

Answers (8)
I know the popular answer would be Sachin Tendulkar, and i too have high regard and respect for him. However my best sports person India has produced is Vishwanathan Anand. He was at the top of the world rankings five out of six times, from April 2007 to July 2008. He became the undisputed World Champion in 2007 and defended his title against Vladimir Kramnik in 2008. With this win, he became the first player in chess history to have won the World Championship in three different formats: Knockout, Tournament, and Match. Nobody, no sports person in India can proabably match that achievement.Answered by shona nair, 29 Jan '09 04:55 pm

I would say Vishwanathan Anand going by pure stats, I also liked Leander Paes, as he always improved his performance when playing for India (Olympics, Davis Cup) rather than Individual tournaments (The grand Slams )Answered by RAJAN MHAMAI, 29 Jan '09 08:18 pm

The Africa Adventure Company
Contact: Sarah Taylor
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida - Africa Adventure Company' "Eyes on Elephant" trip has been selected as one of this year's National Geographic Traveler magazine's prestigious' "50 Tours of a Lifetime" for 2011. The honorees have been chosen for being the most authentic, most innovative, most immersive, best -guided and most sustainable tours of the year.
National Geographic Traveler Senior Editor, Norie Quintos, headed up the project and explains 'The outfitters we selected continue to find new ways travelers can connect with place and people. More and more, it's about human interaction.'
Celebrating their 25th anniversary, The Africa Adventure Company (AAC) has received frequent recognition as a leading outfitter in the African safari industry. In 2009 National Geographic Adventure magazine selected AAC as one of the "Best Adventure Companies on Earth" with the innovative eight -day 'Ethiopia and Omo River Valley' chosen by National Geographic Adventure magazine as the featured trip. Increasingly popular among AAC clients looking for an authentic adventure, the trip includes mobile camping on the banks of the Omo River and the cult ural immersion of visiting some of the most remote tribes in Africa.
"Eyes on Elephant" is a 15-day trip to Zimbabwe that was introduced to celebrate Africa Adventure Company's 25th anniversary in the safari business this year. Since the beginning, the company has been a loyal supporter of Zimbabwe. 'Even during the years when the country was in political turmoil we were sending clients there' Mark recalls. 'We saw it as a true conservation effort as the park fees kept anti -poaching teams in place, guests in the safari camp kept staff members employed and our dedicated contributions supported local communities.'
To be recognized in 2011 as having one of the 50 Tours of a Lifetime by National Geographic Traveler magazine is especially thrilling for owners Mark and Alison Nolting. Alison Nolting was born and raised in Zimbabwe and Mark has traveled frequently there, falling in love with the true walking adventure that it offers.
This itinerary was designed after an amazing adventure -packed experience with their two teenage sons last August. The 15 -Day "Eyes on Elephant" highlights the ultimate experiences in Zimbabwe including the thrill of walking safaris and canoeing down the Zambezi River. Led by three of the top professional guides in southern Africa - Nic Polenakis, Dave Carson and Nick Murray, safariers will be thrilled by the proximity they will get to the animals. 'This is a one-of-a-kind adventure and the best way to get up close to nature, especially elephants, said Alison.
Nic Polenakis received an additional honor when he was selected by National Geographic Traveler as one of the '10 Great Tour Guides' for 2011. A personal friend of Alison and Mark Nolting, Nic is a native Zimbabwean and although he has guided throughout Africa, his favorite domain is his home country. 'A safari in Zimbabwe allows for a real hands -on experience and is the closest one will ever come to touching the raw soul of Africa,' said Nic.
The Africa Adventure Company continues to create unique itineraries and exposing the safarier to an adventure symbiotic with nature. For Information and reservations please contact The Africa Adventure Company at 1 -800-882-9453 or www.AfricanAdventure.com

A couple weeks ago we took a little time to explore Stern Grove. We saw ducks (all paired up!), a bright yellow banana slug, nasturtiums taking over a log, and tall tall trees. It was a nice day with a roll of film and a wonderful walking partner.
Spring is here! Cherry blossoms in full bloom over at Stern Grove, can't believe I had never taken a walk around there!

(Editor's note: Patch columnist Jerry Heverly is an English teacher at San Leandro High.)
On this graduation day I'd like to ask the contrarian question: would it be better if we awarded fewer diplomas?
Your opinion on this, I suspect, hinges on your notion of what a high school diploma should signify.
For many people the coveted parchment represents a rite of passage somewhat akin to a communion or quinceanera. It is a certificate of official adulthood. My sense, without any real proof, is that this is the predominant view of teachers, administrators, some parents, and counselors.
It's an ill-concealed 'secret' that, each Spring, we at the high school bend or modify the rules to allow late-maturing kids to walk the stage at the official graduation ceremony at Cal State East Bay.
Students who had a hard time with ninth or tenth grade — and thus arrive at their senior year deficient in credits — can mend their ways and use a variety of tools available to them:
- they can take classes at a local junior college;
- they can go to adult school;
- they can take online courses;
- in English they can take Creative Writing and (if an administrator approves) substitute that for English 1, 2, 3, or 4.
And only the most cold-hearted senior teacher would not bend the rules a bit to help someone with a 55 percent in May to get that last bit of forgiveness.
Suffice to say that we do the humane thing. We try to get as many kids across the finish line as possible.
There's another view of diplomas, though. This is the view that most outsiders (i.e. taxpayers) probably take. They think a diploma should reflect knowledge gained: basic literacy, citizenship, awareness of history and nature.
The idea here is to have a believable document that shows that the bearer will show up for work on time and possess some adult skills that will make the person a good employee or a successful student in post-graduation schools.
It's this view that created the high school exit exams that are common in most states now. If you can't calculate the slope of a line, you shouldn't be marketable as a high school graduate.
I will stipulate, of course, that we should do a better job of teaching and administrating.
We should intervene earlier and communicate more clearly when a student is in danger of non-graduation.
Our classes should be more interesting.
But establishing who is to blame when a child drops out or produces insufficient credits is a game of finger pointing that no can win.
I want to do the humane thing. The kids who make it to grade 12 are generally the ones who have some residue of ganas (to use Jaime Escalante's term for desire or persistence).
It seems cruel to tell a young person that, because they failed Math as a 15 year-old they should be denied a chance to walk the stage as an 18 year-old. (Why didn't they make it up in summer school? Things happen.)
Yet I can't help thinking that you citizens discount the value of our diplomas because you've seen too many young people who can't fill out a job application after four years with us.
If we were more cold-hearted about this would you have more faith in us?
Would our students try harder if they knew the parchment they earned would buy more community trust?
Like many of these columns I have gotten to the end without really coming to a firm resolution.
Time to head off to Cal State.
Let the festivities begin, but keep your mylar balloons down, please. The folks in the back want to see, too.

Top 22 Horror Villains
#15 Captain Vidal—Pan's Labyrinth
Though Pan's isn't often viewed as horror (despite it's scares), it's a fantastic movie with one of the scariest "normal" villains out there. Captain Vidal is selfish, murderous, sadistic, and through it all shows no remorse for anyone. He is more concerned with passing on his name to his son and has little care for his wife or step-daughter. The scariest scene he has is when he oh so calmly bashes an innocent man's nose in with a wine bottle. He is so nonchalant about it, even though he seemed to know that the guy hadn't done anything wrong to begin with. And sewing his own mouth! As scary as some of the monsters are, especially the child-eater, the Captain is still the one you're more terrified of in the end.

Nelson Law Practice is committed to approaching the legal needs of its
clients in a holistic manner, with a strong belief that not every dispute
should be handled inside a courtroom. While litigation is sometimes
unavoidable, and certainly a strong component of our practice, we understand
that it is not always the most effective or efficient method of achieving our
clients' fundamental goals. At Nelson Law Practice, we believe our most
important role is that of Counselor and, as such, we are dedicated to providing
our clients with quality legal counsel that takes into consideration the legal,
financial and sometimes emotional or family needs of our clients.
If there is anything we are not, it is a one size fits all law firm.
Nelson Law Practice was
founded by April Nelson (a.k.a. "Nelson"), a graduate of the University of
Baltimore School of Law and the University of Alabama School of Social Work.
The practice is three-fold:
As an Attorney, Nelson is a fierce and unrelenting advocate for
the interests of her clients, whether it be in traditional litigation or as a
representative in mediation or arbitration.
As a trained Mediator,
Nelson acts in the capacity of a neutral, third-party, working delicately and
strategically with all parties to find a mutually agreeable solution to the
issues presented.
As a Contract
Attorney, Nelson is "the lawyer's lawyer," beginning her work as a
contract attorney in order to gain valuable experience in a variety of practice
areas, as well as to build a network of mentors. In this capacity, she is available
to assist other attorneys with specific assignments on an as-needed basis. This
may include, but is not limited to, research, drafting pleadings, and document
