Amplified Bible (AMP)
3 O you poor and silly and thoughtless and unreflecting and senseless Galatians! Who has fascinated or bewitched or cast a spell over you, unto whom—right before your very eyes—Jesus Christ (the Messiah) was openly and graphically set forth and portrayed as crucified?
1 Corinthians 15:33
"Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character."
I have always heard it isn't what your life is, it is the attitude you face it with. It is like seeing the glass either half full or half empty. The first part of my life I was a 'see the glass half full' kind of person. For a time in my adult life I became a 'see the glass the half empty'. Thank God, He got me back to the positive, faith filled way of seeing things. Even now I can still slip back to the 'seeing the glass half empty', but thank God He is still there to bring me back around and that attitude is almost extinct in me.
Recently, I did have a relapse in my attitude because my life has been forced into a simplification that is beyond anything I have ever known before. At first, after our house sold and we were forced to live in our travel trailer, I looked at it as an adventure. But, when that adventure began to turn into not just a month or two but MONTHS, the adventurous aspect of it began to wane.
I felt a despondency beginning to try to overtake me. I began to think of what it would be like if this turned into years! I lost the adventurous, this is fun, a perpetual camp out attitude and I began to feel panicked and desperate to find a house with a concrete slab instead of tires!
One day recently, as I lay flat on my back…I had thrown it out…the thought came to me, "When did this become hard? I was actually loving it at first!" I realized I had crossed over from faith to fear. I had crossed over from trust to 'Another one of your doozies, Juliana!' Oh, how the devil loves to play that broken record over and over in my mind.
God began to show me all I had done RIGHT! Wow!! That is a new concept on this thing!! I sold my home when God said to…obedience is a major step in the right direction! I sold when I didn't know where we were going to end up…total and blind trust…another God pleasing thing! I had learned to live with less and with true simplicity. All the clutter was gone from my life and God wanted the same of my spiritual and emotional life, not just my physical.
Living a life of simplicity is wonderful!! You can live without things you never thought you could. I had no idea how much junk we had accumulated over the years. Books, books, and more books that I didn't even remember I had, much less did I read them! Crochet yarn piled almost to the ceiling…great gift for a knitter friend of mine since I only crochet once a year! Clothes from the 80's…literally! I could go on, but this is a blog not a book!
As I began to decide to think of what to throw away, give away, and keep my questions to myself were, "Have I used it in the last year? Is it an heirloom? Is it necessary?" If my answer was yes to any of those, it stayed…very little stayed. Those three questions brought such great simplicity and joy to my life!
By the time hubby and I moved into the trailer, we were down to a spring/summer wardrobe ( the fall/winter is in storage) that consisted of 2 weeks worth of clothes and accessories. I have a section in my closet for the casual, semi-dressy, and Sunday clothes. One closet! That alone, amazed me and it relieved me!!
No more frantic searches on Sundays for my black travelers pants and that blouse I haven't worn in a year, but I remembered it when I burped from my last bite of pizza…yeah, that had to be what jogged my memory! I had minimized and simplified and 'oh what a relief it is'!
Suddenly, I realized God wanted the same from me in my mental and emotional life. Now, all people are important! We love ALL people! Jesus did, but notice Jesus only kept 12 close to Him. Why did He do that while He was on the earth? I think it was because the more you 'entertain' the less you can focus on what is important.
There are some people who juggle fifty different things in a week. They have friends who they hang out with that fingers and toes could not count, and that is fine; But, for me, relationships have to be categorized. Have I talked to this person in the last year? Why or why not? Is this person someone who will build me or tear me down spiritually? Is this person someone who I can trust or someone who would betray me? Is this person someone who enriches my life or brings sorrow and fatigue?
I am very careful about who I bring close. All Christians should be careful of who you bring close! Paul even warned the church to not even eat with people who practiced sin. It tells us in 1 Corinthians a man/woman of good character will be brought down if they make those who are not of good character close companions.
I heard about a young man who was a wonderful person! He had been someone who was respected by friends, family and his church community. This young man began to make friends with people who were more than a little rough around the edges, so to speak. It wasn't long until this young man began to do little things the new friends did.
He began to drink, and then drink a little more and a little more often. It wasn't long until the 'old friends' began to be pushed away and more of the rough friends began to come on the scene. This young man soon found himself overwhelmed in the new lifestyle he had developed. He ended up in jail one night after a drinking binge. His lawyer entered the room where he was and said, 'Get rid of your 'friends', son. If you don't you will find yourself here for a much longer time!'
I spoke with this young man, and he told me while he was in jail someone told him, 'You lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas.' Now the friends didn't make him do anything, but their ways definitely rubbed off on him. 'You are who you hang with', is a saying I always told my children, and I could always tell when they were 'hanging' with the wrong people.
Now the 'glass half full' to this story is, the more we 'hang' with God, the more like Him and His character we become. The wiser we are because we learn to think as He thinks. We love like Him, because that is what He is. We take on His dignity, because we have been with the "King" and realize we are a King's child! Children always imitate the father. Make sure you are a good parent, your influence carries much farther than you know!
Ask yourself, "Is it time to minimize some things and some relationships in my life?" Let God show you the answer to be sure you answer correctly and do the right thing! Take off the weights of busyness and things. We often fail to hear from God the way the apostles and disciples did, not because it was just for Biblical times, but because our 'times' have become times of 'too much to do and too little time to do it in'.
In minimizing, you will find you actually maximize what is truly important in life and you have had the time to think and pray about what that really is!
Amplified Bible (AMP)
1 The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.
2 He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.
3 He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake.
4 Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with [a]oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
6 Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.
I knew this day was coming. I have not been caught off guard or by surprise, but I still feel disappointed it did. I knew when we sold our house there would not be another waiting just around the corner in time. I have been to this dog and pony show before. At the same time, I didn't expect it would take so long to find another house.
I would love to be able to walk into Wal-Mart, ask someone where their 'Houses for Sale' aisle is and just pick up what I want and need, land and all! I really didn't think it would be much harder than that. We sold when God told us to and I just thought we would wait about a month at the most and BAM, there would be our reward for prompt obedience! It isn't happening exactly like that.
Evidently we are going through a 'maturing' phase, a trust phase, and a 'don't you dare be jealous of someone else's blessing' phase! I have heard in the last month of two couples we know that found MY dream home, and paid next to nothing for it…well they paid what we were looking to pay.
Oh, my eyes turned heavenward and, in all honesty, these thoughts came to my mind, "That is great God, but where is mine? Really? Seriously? They turn a corner, look up one classified, and there it is! I am scouring every resource I can find and coming up with nothing! Forgive me, Father! I am happy for them, but I am the blessed, too and I have waited for 30 years on this."
I have to be honest, dear reader, I truly don't know what the lesson is. I have searched my heart and soul, had hubby search his and soul and, not that we are perfect, we truly can't find anything that is so horrible that it would make us homeless and living in someone else's backyard in a travel trailer.
I am grateful we have a place to live, be it ever so humble. Many tonight will sleep on concrete and have next to nothing to eat in the days and weeks to come. Nevertheless, this is NOT the blessing of Abraham we have been promised and I know God doesn't lie.
I think my greatest concern is can I hear Him as I need to? Did He try to tell me about the house in the country that was a 'steal', did He try to move us to another state, did He try to tell me what classified to look at, or even what prayer I should have prayed to receive what I need, and was I to ditsy not to hear it? Did I miss Him? I don't know.
I do take this comfort in knowing sheep are truly stupid animals. They will literally walk off a cliff and accidentally kill themselves if the shepherd isn't watching closely. We are compared to sheep for a reason. My Shepherd is watching, and oh how I long to feel and know His guidance. He will not allow me to walk off a cliff into a pit of bad decisions, and He will lead me by His Spirit. In the meantime, I pray I can rest in the pasture I have been placed in for this time and remember my Shepherd can always be trusted to do what is best for all the sheep, including me.
One of the greatest hindrances to answered prayer is offense. Recently I was perusing a book on prayer and this jumped out at me. It was titled "Unforgiveness Hinders Your Prayers". The last part of the Lord's Prayer which Jesus prayed brings to light a very important principle.
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Prayer will not work in an unforgiving heart. You cannot hold things against people and be offended and maintain a prayer life that is successful and gets results. It is so important for this to be realized and for it to be a true revelation to our minds!
In Ken Hagin's workbook on prayer, he tells us this:
It is so natural, so human, to hold things against people; it is part of our carnal nature. I have had people who were saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, but who were not walking in the best of fellowship with the Lord, tell me just how badly they had been treated by someone. They would tell me in great detail what So-and-so did to them.
Then they would say, 'Oh, yes, I have forgiven him, alright. But I will never forget how they treated me" (talking about their brother or sister in the Lord). So, you see, they really hadn't forgiven that person. Unforgiveness was still in their hearts because it showed up in what they said.
In many cases people need help because they're frustrated and mentally confused because they are harboring offenses on the inside of them against people. They need to forgive. Their frustration and confusion can many times be attributed to their unforgiveness.
I have read that medical doctors have found that resentment causes some people to be more prone to certain types of diseases. The doctors said that when they could get these people to get rid of resentment, often their ailments cleared up, when before they had not responded to treatment.
We are learning more and more how unforgiveness is connected to sickness and disease and ultimately with unanswered prayer. These things are all related. We don't want anything to hinder our prayer lives.
As you can see, satan has tied many issues to offense from our health to our power in prayer, or lack thereof. No wonder the Bible tells us to beware of offense for a chance to be offended will come on a daily basis! We will delve deeper in this soon. We will find out why it is important to know the strategy of our enemy and how to successfully counteract it!
God bless you! See you soon!!
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Not long ago, I observed a young woman who I was very impressed with. She was happy, loved her life, was well-rounded and well-adjusted. She loved her family and took great joy in the simple pleasures of life.
I noticed not long ago she had put something up on Facebook that went something like this, "I get so annoyed by ignorant people." It wasn't long until I noticed she didn't seem as full of joy as she had been. I noticed she wasn't interacting with others as I had seen her do before. I noticed her posts were getting to be fewer and when she did post, the happiness and joy did not seem to hold the same intensity that was so rich it blessed me to just think about it.
I began to wonder what happened, but I didn't have to wonder long to know she was offended. My heart was just crushed over this! Why? Because I used to be offended. I know what follows if you don't deal with it and deal with it quickly.
Offense carries with it a multitude of problems! First comes the offense, then comes anger over the offense, then come walls of 'protection' when they are actually prison walls set firmly in place by satan, himself. After the prison walls go up, you find yourself more and more isolated. The more isolated you become the more lonely you are. You find people don't want to be around you the way they had in the past. Why? Because you have become negative, quick-tempered, and irritable. Gone is your joy, your peace, your gratitude for God's great blessings because you are consumed by the one or ones who 'annoyed' you! You are miserable and so are the people around you.
Your marriage begins to feel it because your heart has changed. You have literally begun to change. Your children are no longer the joy they once were because you have become negative and satan is sure to make certain the littlest things now get under your skin. You have left your love walk and opened the door to strife.
You are no longer the powerhouse in God you once were. Why? Because you are letting a different voice have precedence in your mind, and without realizing it, it is the voice of the devil! You were baited and you took it and now you are on the hook. He will pull and push you wherever he wants.
He will pull you out of church because the people you once loved and loved seeing now are flashing neon signs of problems to you. He will infiltrate your home and the love of your life will be someone you 'need time' away from. You will become exhausted with dealing with the smallest of things, including your children, because you blame their noisy play and refusal to go down for their nap for your lack of peace and your new-found stress. You have been deceived and trapped.
Offense is a poison. It quickly turns into bitterness and when it does it spreads like a cancer! My great-grandmother had a beautiful wisteria bush in her yard. She loved to garden! She would plant different plants in cans and they would thrive! She had planted the wisteria bush quite a few feet from one of her towering oak trees. She had several oaks in her yard and it was beautiful! There wasn't anything she couldn't grow, or bring back to life…until the wisteria bush was planted.
The wisteria bush began to grow, and it began to crawl. What started out as a small plant in Grandma's yard began to reach out and grow beyond the space she intended for it to occupy. It crept across until it reached the beautiful oak tree. It began to wrap itself around the bottom of the tree, then it began to climb and wrap its vine around and around the tree. It wrapped and wrapped and tightened its grip and with each day it grew. It was not long until the wisteria had literally taken over the towering oak tree and choked the life out it until it was dead. The wisteria dug in and took the tree over and even Grandma could not stop it. God can't stop it either. You have made a choice and you have been given a free will. He has to allow what you allow because He will not and cannot violate your will. Be careful who and what you give permission to occupy any part of your life!
Offense and bitterness are the same way. What starts as a small seed grows quickly. It spreads from a small annoyance to all out dislike. Soon it isn't just one person, it is several you have become 'annoyed' with and critical of. The root of your offense is growing. Its tentacles are reaching into every part of your life until it chokes the very life of love out of you that once flowed so freely and beautifully! It chokes out your joy. It chokes out your blessings. You no longer look forward to the day, but dread it because you are squeezed and the pressure is uncomfortable instead of being free to bloom as you once were!
God is love. You were full of that love at one time. That is when you felt close to God and now He seems so distant. Why? Because you are bound and the nutrients of His love and Spirit have been blocked. You were destined to be a powerhouse for God and now you just can't seem to concentrate on God like you used to. Satan knew what you were destined to be. He knew if he could get your eyes on the wrong thing, he could stop your progress and your future and all the mighty works that would have brought great glory to God and all the blessings He had for you would be lost.
No longer would people look and see you shining, but they would look and see someone they pray they will never become. From the palace to the pit is what satan intended and that is what he accomplished. You had it all, and because someone was ignorant, instead of praying for them and walking on in love, you let it become your hindrance and stopping point in God! If you ask me, that is what is ignorant! Knowing you did it and not doing anything about it is just plain foolishness!
Go to God and confess if you have any offense in your heart. Get rid of all malice and wrath as the Word tells us. God will deal with those people, and if they refuse to change don't let it change you! Allow God to cleanse you and preserve you. Allow Him to bring back your joy and your love for others! You will never be happy any other way.
Have you ever written your mortgage payment and thought what you could do with that money if you were free and clear of that debt? How wonderful it would be if you could pay your house off and then sell it and not owe any lending institution any of that money? Wouldn't it be wonderful to pay a thirty year mortgage in ten years or less? It is possible and I am going to show you how to do it!
Today, as I spoke to a young man, the Lord led me to share my testimony of how God led hubby and me to become debt free. He told me I should write about it because few people his age knew this one small trick in doing just that! I had no idea that not many young people know about this until he told me. I was happy to tell him and I would love to share it with you as well.
When we started out with one of our first homes, we had no idea about borrowing money, principles, interests, etc.. I had no idea that for years we had paid nothing on our home itself, but instead all of our money was being wasted on interest! Instead of a mortgage payment, you could have called it an interest payment.
When I found out how long we had to go to actually pay our house off, it was almost sickening! Thousands and thousands of dollars was going straight to the bank, instead of paying down our house!
The Lord led us to get out of debt years ago. Now, I am not telling you to do this, but for hubby and me it was what God wanted for us. We had almost drowned in debt and if it had not been for the goodness of God we would have gone bankrupt! There were times I could not even buy groceries our money was so tight!
We always tithed and gave an offering, and thank God we had the good sense to do that. Just about the time I could put going to the grocery store off no longer, there would be a check in the mail from our insurance company either saying we had overpaid or we had met our deductible and had paid too much to the doctor. That is before we walked in the complete knowledge of healing, but that is another post!
One day I went to the Lord in tears. There is no pressure in this world like financial pressure! It is no fun being poor and doing without and it is even worse when you see your children doing without! I cried out to Him and told Him we had to have His help. I had seen other tithers and givers who had plenty of money and then some besides! I didn't understand why we were barely scraping by. It just didn't seem fair.
God was so merciful and gracious to me when He answered me. He told me we were spending more than we realized and it was wasteful spending. He had me get out our charge CARDS. We had more than one and that was a great deal of the problem. Many times it is tempting, especially when you are young and don't really realize how fast money can slip through your fingers, to not cash a check before you go out to eat or to the movies. Whatever the case may be, it is so easy to slip that plastic out of your wallet. It is convenient until you get the bill. What is bad is many will max out one charge card and turn around and get another and, before you know it, that one is maxed out as well and you are now drowning in a sea of debt. Let me add, we did not have a debit card. I knew if I had one, it would be as if I had written a check and failed to write the amount down. We just were not comfortable with the possibility we could overdraw our account.
The Lord had me get together all of our bills and put them down on paper. As I began to look at our charge cards, it was obvious they were the culprit. I began to see a pattern of where we were going wrong. We would go out to eat, and we were amassing a debt of about one hundred dollars a weekend in eating out and 'recreational' activities. BAM! The problem was so simple.
As those 'weekend outings' began to pile up to the sound of 100.00 a weekend and we were paying the minimum on our charge cards, soon I discovered we were over 8,000.00 in debt to charge cards alone. This did not include our car notes, day care, or household expenses. We were in over our heads and we were drowning.
God in all of His grace and mercy began to show me how to budget. I had never been able to stick with one before, but I knew God had heard my cries and was giving great grace to me. I went to my husband and showed him where we were going wrong and what God had said to do about it.
God told us we could only go out to eat once a month and it HAD to be cash or we couldn't do it. I learned how to cook during this time. Little did I know one day I would be a contributing writer for a nationally known recipe site. God takes even our biggest goof ups and brings us great blessings through them.
At the end of one month, after budgeting not only on the food bill, but cutting some other corners, we had actually saved 800.00. When I showed my husband that figure at the end of the month we both cried and praised God. God told us to take that 800.00 and pay it on the charge card that had the smallest amount of debt. Within about 3 months the card was paid off.
After paying off the first charge card, God told us to take the full amount of money we had paid on it, along with what would have been the minimum payment and begin paying it on the second and largest one. When we did, we were able to pay the 8000.00 in debt down in just under a year. We went from seeing no end to being DEBT FREE with charge cards to being debt free in less than 12 months! Glory to God!
At this point we were able to take the money we had paid on the cards and we began to apply it to the principle on our house payment. We went from a thirty year mortgage to having our house paid off in 11 years!! Another miracle for us.
If you can just pay 200.00 a month on your principle, you would be shocked at how quickly your debt will dwindle! It won't be long until you will be holding the deed to your home in your hand instead of the lending institution holding it in theirs!
We had to learn that you HAVE to mark how much is your monthly payment and how much is your principle payment. Often banks will apply that to your next mortgage payment instead of putting it toward the principle. This does you no good. Make sure you earmark it and double check with the bank and triple check by closely examining your bank statement!
You may feel as though you are drowning, but there is a way out! If we can do it, so can you! Remember, we had God's mercy and His Word working in our favor by doing what God commanded in being tithers and givers! We paid our tithe straight off the top! You cannot afford to not tithe! Try God in this and see if He is not faithful to you. I am proof He is!

August: Osage County, John Wells' sophomore film adaptation of the play by the same name, concerns a dysfunctional family reunited during a sweltering summer crisis, and has been compared to stories like Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and A Streetcar Named Desire. Clearly, it aspires to these great character dramas, but more often than not falls terribly short. Which is a damn shame. Continue reading

Prometheus (2012) – Review
Prometheus asks loftier questions than it's willing to answer, but it may just may be the best scifi-horror film since Alien.
At about the two-thirds mark in Prometheus, Ridley Scott's unrelenting scifi-horror prequel to Alien, we are so inundated by disturbing visuals, so exhausted by the unraveling tension, so disoriented by quick-cuts to each character's confrontation with the film's endless terrors, that by the end we feel like we're the ones who survived a trip to hell and back again. It's dense and terrifying, and easily the best Alien film since, well, Alien.
Summer Interlude (1951) – Blu-Ray Review
Summer Interlude is Bergman's first great film, and a great entry point into the auteur's extensive body of work.
The Film:
When discussing Ingmar Bergman, the enigmatic filmmaker who crafted more than 40 films over his lifetime, two questions inevitably emerge: first, what were his great films? Fellini had La Dolce Vita and 8 1/2, Welles had Citizen Kane, Kurosawa had Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, Ford had The Searchers…so on, so forth, ad infinitum. And yet, heralded as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, what was Bergman's magnum opus? His most popular films – Smiles of a Summer Night, Seventh Seal, and Wild Strawberries – could all make claim for that title, but none seem particularly representative of his oeuvre, which consisted mostly of intensely personal character studies.
The second question, just as debated, is what the most "accessible Bergman" could be; the elusive and difficult nature of many of his films can be intimidating for the uninitiated, and finding a film that both represents what people love about Bergman and also palatable to a more general audience is useful in bringing newcomers into the fold. To that question, I'm going to go out on a limb, buck traditional suggestions, and give my vote to Summer Interlude. It's a perfect blend of dark character drama and lighthearted love story, which gives the film a balance that keeps it from feeling overwhelming or heavy-handed; it's also a fascinating story, masterfully executed, and beautifully filmed.
Snow White & The Huntsman (2012) – Review
Charlize Theron is given far too little to do as the ice-cold Queen Ravenna in Snow White & the Huntsman.
Snow White & the Huntsman is an amalgamation of scrap pieces from other stories, borrowed bits that plod forward unconvincingly into what becomes a shapeless mass of fantasy cliches. It has moments of entertaining whimsy and startling brutality, but its emotional core is emptier than a poison apple. Continue reading
On the Road to Prometheus – Alien Resurrection (1997)
On the Road to Prometheus is a series of retrospectives on the Alien franchise, in anticipation for Prometheus, which arrives in theaters on June 8th.
With the debacle that was Alien 3 having changed the Alien canon so drastically, was there a salvageable story to be found? Could a fourth film be made at all, or was the series destined to forever be left in the rubbish bin?

Maybe Tim Zasada is a walking course in positive thinking.
The 1990 Hammond High graduate and Calumet City native has not listened to naysayers as he made career moves.
He took over and rebuilt the football and girls basketball programs at T.F. North in Calumet City, and has turned the corner with Reavis' football program in southwest suburban Burbank.
"Not completely yet," Zasada said. "We are not where we want to be, but we are working towards it. We still haven't made the playoffs."
When Zasada left Hammond High after the 2000 season to go west a few miles to Calumet City, he didn't listen to the naysayers.
"They told me I was crazy for going to T.F. North," Zasada said. "They said, 'You are a good young coach and that is a coach's graveyard.' I didn't listen because I knew they could win."
He took over a program that had a 6-56 record over the seven years and had not made the Illinois playoffs since 1984. He went 4-5 his first year and his teams made the playoffs four out of his six years. He also was on Artie Rogers' staff for three years as offensive coordinator and the Meteors qualified for the postseason two of those three years.
He brought the graveyard to life.
"We got the kids to believe and I had a great staff," Zasada said. "We just worked hard and the kids bought into it."
The same formula worked when he took over a girls basketball program that had won four games the previous season. He built the program into a south suburban power.
When the Reavis job opened up, he went after it. The Rams were a football power in the 1980s, winning the Illinois Class 6A title in 1982, but were 1-17 the previous two years before Zasada took over.
"Again, people asked me why I would go there," Zasada said. "They said, 'You are are crazy.' Maybe I am, but instead of asking 'Why?' I came back with 'Why not?'"
This year when his team beat Oak Lawn, he took them out for tacos in Oak Lawn.
"I told them if we won, we eat tacos on 95th Street and we did," Zasada said. "We had some fun and you have to. Ten, 20 years from now, if you ask a kid how many tackles he made in the Oak Lawn game, he won't remember, but he will remember eating tacos in Oak Lawn with his uniform on."
He did the same thing at North when the Meteors beat their rival T.F. South in Lansing.
"We had the bus pull up in front of Beggars Pizza on Ridge Road and we got out and ate pizza in Lansing with our uniforms on," Zasada said. "Not in Cal City, but in Lansing."
With the North girls basketball team, he would order chicken wings after a big win. One player had to go home to study for a test, so Zasada took care of that.
"We got her to-go," Zasada laughed. "One of those Styrofoam cartons and we even put fries in it."
Zasada originally wanted to be a sportscaster and studied communications at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo., but being the son of a Hall of Fame coach, he had the coaching bug.
"I was around such great coaches since I was a little kid," Zasada said. "At Hammond, I was too young for Bernie Krueger, but I heard a lot about what a great man he is. George Hall, my dad, Jim Sherer at Hammond High, Leroy Harwell in basketball. That rubs off on you and you can't help but learn from them. They were great coaches. They lived Hammond High sports."
He also credits his wife of 12 years Nancy for her support.
"Couldn't do it without here," Zasada said. "She is very supportive of me and being a coach's wife is a thankless job."
He also coaches his daughter, Zoe, in basketball and softball, and his son, Parker, in flag football and baseball.
"I love it," Zasada said. "Being a coach's kid, you got to love a chance to coach your kids."

Penetration Testing
mailing list archives
Well, like everything else in the security space, the answer is "it all
One of the first things I tell clients when they start talking about a
VPN is that they are extending their network out to the VPN endpoint.
Now that home desktop is on your network. If that home desktop has a
worm, guess what, that worm is now on your network and if it can find
one machine that's vulnerable, then you have two worms. What if that
home computer has some kind of remote management software
installed...like Back Orifice? You're probably a little short-staffed,
right...well, now you have help;)
The solutions are all over the place. If you have a Cisco VPN, then the
remote management problem is turned off by default with their split
tunnel feature. It forces all traffic through the tunnel. There are
also clients that will force a virus scan of the workstation and force
other policy changes. You can also put some restriction at the VPN
termination point so that your VPN clients are restricted in what they
do. There are all kinds of solutions but it depends on what you're
running. You're started down the right path...VPNs can be scary!

Subject: Security and VPN
Hi there,
I just wanted to put this out there. How secure is VPN.
Meaning, if my users take home the client and install it on their
desktop at home, and connect to the corporate network and production
network, wheat are we really looking at. Are they secure or not.
Two factor authentication would only help the authentication
purpose and to protect the user name and password ?
How about restricting them to access, and how about worrying
about their home computer that can be effected.
Has anyone been through this. Any one give home users a list of
requirements that they must have before vpn can be offered to them ?
Should there be some type of desktop policy installed on their
home computer, just to protect the company network ? Any help and
guidance would be great

(CBS) The White Sox will face former teammate A.J. Pierzynski Tuesday for the first time since he signed with the Texas Rangers in the offseason.
The White Sox made the short trip to Surprise, Ariz. for the matinee and Pierzynski is in the Rangers' lineup, batting fourth and catching.
Pierzynski was the White Sox catcher for eight seasons, winning a World Series with the team in 2005. The team elected not to re-sign him in the offseason, instead going with Tyler Flowers as the catcher this season. Flowers is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Are You There, Twitter? Judy Blume Shares Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Generations of teenage girls have grown up reading the tales of teenage angst told by beloved author Judy Blume. Among the most memorable of her best-selling novels; Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, Blubber and Superfudge. She's moved the conversation to Twitter, amassing a following of over 72,000 fans and admirers to whom she regularly responds. So it was no surprise Blume took to Twitter to tell the world she'd been diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma earlier in the summer.

Not-So-Blank Notebooks
This composition-size spiral-bound notebook has an antique look to it, but the real surprise is between the covers:
Instead of the usual white ruled pages, this notebook has pages printed with four different colors and artistic designs. What it doesn't have is a single line, so you have plenty of room to write, sketch, mount photos or images and otherwise fill the pages however you like. From Papaya Art; I got mine for $10.76 at my local art store.
You don't have to shop at an art store to find interesting notebooks; I found these two at Target for under $10.00:
The inside pages of the notebook with the flower cover have light gray dots instead of the usual lines (handy for anyone who wants to work out maps or other types of drawings on a gridded surface) while the Poetry/Art/History composition book offers a more elegant spin on ruled pages:
One trick I'm learning is to look for unusual notebooks in places other than the office supply shops and aisles. I found this notebook with colored, printed and plain white pages at an art supply store; it's sold as an art journal kit but would work great as a notebook. While gathering school supplies for my kid, I noticed Crayola had put out various sizes of what looked to be a pretty standard spiral-bound notebook. Which it is, until you write on a page with the pen provided by Crayola, and bring out the psychedelic colors embedded in every inch of the paper.
If you don't find the notebooks you want to use, you can begin making your own. Collect interesting papers until you have a nice stack, punch holes in them and place them in folder with grommets or a slim binder, and you've got your own notebook. If you'd like to spiral bind them, you can have that done at most printing service outlets; Office Depot also has a number of spiral binding machines you can purchase and use at home to put together your own notebooks; I even found a video over on YouTube that demonstrates how one of the them works.
Tomorrow I'll wrap up my quest with one final look at some of the other not-so-blank books I've found and the giveaway I promised, so stop in if you get a chance. (Those of you who are addicted to notebooks might also like to visit Nifty's Notebook Stories blog to see what other writers all over ther planet are using.)

I found two new notebooks at Staples when I went in for printer ink the other day. They have a really good selection.ReplyDelete
I have years of journals--some very expensive, some really cheap, some with quotes, no lines, images--there's no end to the diversity, or the pleasure of starting a new one!
Just a note for my commenters: one of my visitors received a warning from her internet security software that my links to the Crayola notebooks lead to a malicious web site. I personally coded them with the following links to the images that I posted on my Photobucket account:ReplyDelete
I also rechecked the links and neither one has changed or has been tampered with. As far as I'm aware Photobucket, which I use almost daily to host my blog photos, has never been and has never become a malicious web site. I'm not sure why the warning message came up, but I can assure you that as of the writing of this comment the links go only to the two images I took with my Canon camera, and lead to nowhere else.
I always appreciate a heads-up when something like this happens, and my thanks to Reba for letting me know about it.
I'd like to second the suggestion of getting a copy-place or small printer make notebooks! I made a really fun story book on Lulu (they're a print on demand place) and some sketchbooks. For the story book, I made a neat cover with Morguefile photos. Inside I put character and plot sheets I'd made in Word, plus extra blank pages. For the sketchbook, I did the same sort of thing, except I put blank pages in. It was really fun and surprisingly inexpensive, considering how much some sketchbooks/notebooks can cost.ReplyDelete
I'm hoping to do Nano this year, and I'm thinking I'll make a fresh notebook for plots, characters, and a bunch of the neat story-building ideas you've suggested. Instead of using more morguefile photos, I'm thinking of doing a scan of a painting I made in a class recently. I'm really shy about it, but I think it might turn out neat. Maybe I'll try adding some black and white sketches like the flowers above.
Sorry. Didn't mean to go on. Just wanted to share some fun ideas in case anyone else would like to try them.....
I love when you show us what you've found while out shopping. It lets me enjoy without spending a penny. :) I got one of those Crayola ones with the color changing pet a while back. I wasn't terribly impressed. The colors weren't as dynamic as I expected and the ink bled through to the back of the page. The directions say that the backside of the page doesn't do the color change trick, but you can write on it with regular pen or pencil. The trouble is, with that bleed-through, I don't think it would be useable. Still, it is fun to try out new stuff.ReplyDelete
I've been looking for a couple of blank books to send to an artist friend. Thanks for all the great ideas.ReplyDelete
For binding machines, there's also the Zutter Bind-it-All, which looks like it's a bit less expensive than most of the Office Depot options. On the other hand, I think it's also smaller, but I've seen YouTube demos where people bind larger books, just using two wires.ReplyDelete
And oh wow, I think I need one of those Crayola notebooks! :o
I like Crayola products, especially their color pencils and those psychedelic colors sound good. I haven't seen that item around my local stores but maybe I will soon. If not I may have to special order it, lol.ReplyDelete
For all the colors you get on the pages of the first floral notebook, $10.46 isn't bad either for a notebook. I prefer the plain sheet- it inspires me to write more. When I'm presented with lines or some other method of controlling the space, I don't feel as comfortable.

Though our posts and sussies have slowed down recently, we are still hard at work in our effort to surprise people with kindness.
Last week we received a nomination from Trena about her friend, Devon. Trena told us:
"Devon is funny, hardworking, helpful, and friendly! She's a hardcore derby girl and has a huge heart!
I'm not sure of the details, but I know she's been having a rough time lately and could use a pick me up!"
Trena gave a great idea of a gift that would bring a smile to Devon's face, but we weren't able to make it work. So we went the easy route and sent Devon a $25 AmEx gift card so she could purchase something for herself. Within days, Devon posted on her own blog about her sussy experience.
It's feedback like this that reminds me of why this project exists. In the humdrum of life, it's difficult to make time for things that don't demand it. Work, home, family, friends…those things are easy to schedule for. But something like The Sussy Project is an add-on and unfortunately, it can slip through the cracks. This response from Devon only furthers my passion for keeping this project going….one sussy at a time.

Burkina Faso / France, 2004 (MIFF 2007, Africa! Africa!)
Director: Fanta Régina Nacro
Winner of Best Screenplay at San Sebastian Film Festival, the debut feature from female director Fanta Régina Nacro is a tale about the deep scars left by civil war. After a decade of bloody ethnic conflict in a nameless African country, the governing Nayak and rebel Bonandé tribes have come to an uneasy peace. To mark the occasion, an evening of celebration is arranged but, with the blood spilt in the war still fresh in the minds of all present, mutual distrust and fear threatens to tear the fragile peace apart. A non-professional cast provide a compelling performance of a story with a distinctly Shakespearian tone, in what is a powerful and unsettling look at the legacy of war.Contains scenes that may offend

»Re: [Cable] Peak hours SUPER slow!See my post there. Not 100% sure this is what it is yet but let's wait for the upgrades to be done to see if it gets sorted.
Fine here, I'm even able to watch 720p with more success than I have been in the past, considering my limited DSL connection out here in the boonies.
First shuffle to help better balance things is due Monday. 7 th 10 gig backhaul due within a week. May take a bit longer to cutover traffic but its close.I think the YouTube issues are related to the backhaul issues. We'll fix the backhaul and we'll know for sure.

Smith is fat and slow. He was never in shape, but if he wants to keep fighting without becoming a Bob Sapp, he needs to start training seriously and, with the amount of fat he carries, maybe even drop a weight class.
- ETK March 4, 2012
I think he pushed his finger or knuckle into Smith's throat, because that was a very fast tap.
- tobes March 4, 2012
PitFighter – Smith did try a fight at WW. And he got BRUTALLY KO'd by Paul Daley.
I hate to say it, because he's a true fighter and has the warrior spirit, but Smith needs to retire.

Smith is a has been. Enough said.

May not be the same talent but some of the StrikeForce shows have been more entertaining than UFC's. Hopefully Dana takes notice and uses StrikeForce as a kind of minor league.

Everything the way it should be. There is something about the aesthetic world, a battle between good and evil. The failure of the statues quo, the victory when design is respected, and fostered. Our built spaces tell the stories for us. Our respect for ourselves and others can be shown by our ability to build. From public spaces, to private store fronts, people who knowingly design for the betterment of mankind. Thinking and dreaming that the legacy you will leave will be one for others. One that inspires the next generation to build spaces that inspire respect and dreams. That is the way it should be.

The Korean War Ends - July 27
- Saturday, July 27, 2013
"FREEDOM IS NOT FREE" is the inscription on the Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Korean War ended JULY 27, 1953, with the armistice signed at Panmunjom. Begun three years earlier as a UN "police" action, the outnumber U.S. troops fought courageously against the Communist Chinese and North Korean troops, who were supplied with arms and MIG fighters from the Soviet Union. With temperatures sometimes forty degrees below zero, and Washington politicians limiting the use of air power against the Communists, there were nearly 140,000 American casualties in the defense of the Pusan Perimeter and Taego; in the landing at Inchon and the freeing of Seoul; in the capture of Pyongyang; in the Yalu River where nearly a million Communist Chinese soldiers invaded; in the Battles of Changjin Reservoir, Old Baldy, White Horse Mountain, Heartbreak Ridge, Pork Chop Hill, T-Bone Hill, and Siberia Hill. First Lady Mamie Geneva Doud Eisenhower stated in a conversation at the Doud home regarding their son John, who was serving in Korea: "He has a mission to fulfill and God will see to it that nothing will happen to him till he fulfills it."

It was ok. A "safe" place to go for a dinner. We didn't take any pics cos we were so hungry! The staff was very prompt too. However, a few items that we ordered didn't arrive. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise though as we had ordered RICE. We were so stuffed in the end that we were glad the rice never came. (Edited: We went to this place again on Mother's Day and it was really NOT value for money at all. For 4 people eating a meal of mostly cheap stuff like processed meat, beancurd and veggie with some seafood like prawns - there weren't even cockles that day - we paid nearly $100. It was around the same price as our well-cooked meal of braised pork, huashan, fish slice. and lobster porridge for four at Canton Paradise. How can this be? Lele isn't going to last long of it continues overcharging for cheap food.)Read MoreHide

Kim Kardashian: Seeking Klosure in Minnesotaby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Kim Kardashian is doing all she can to milk her divorce for all the publicity possible smooth things over with Kris Humphries.
The disgraceful reality star actually flew to her ex-husband's hometown today, as multiple sources confirm she's landed in Minnesota.
To what end? NOT to reconcile, insiders tell TMZ. Instead, Kim and Kris will simply meet with the pastor that officiated their August 20 wedding in an attempt to gain closure.
And, hey, if paparazzi just happen to be present, and if new stories are created out of the meeting, and if this trip makes Kim seem more sympathetic and less despicable for crapping all over the institution of marriage... so be it, right?
[Photo: WENN.com]
Trash equals class today. No materr how immoral, disgusting, spoilt, disrespectful, arrogant, gluttonos, marry/divorcing 6 to 10 husbands/wifes,egoistical and fake you are...if you can sing, act, got money and physical good looks, superficially, you are great, famous and respected. Like piece of trash Hugh Hefner and the dumb dumbs like Lindsay Lohan that have to flaunt naked in porn to feel great and succescful and loved. Really woman have some self respect for your bodies.
@ annie who was Kim Kardishan before the sex Tape ??? yes a nobody atleast Kris Humphries is someone his talent and a good person so dont hate on kris for no reason .
@ Typical! your so funny your comment is so sad you need help why would us black women feel humiliated ?? everyone is free to date who ever they want and for your information since you think you know everything you should consider the fact that our black man just fuck and use white bitches for sex but end up marry us and being committed to us so if your idea of being a Trophy is being fucked by every black male until they find something better to come along and leave your sorry ass behind then you can keep that title we black women dont want it we have better titles so stick to what you know kid cos white bitches aiight no trophy just cheap and easy .
@ Monisa Cole your the most clueless person i have ever come across how can you even judge others if you dont even have a clue what your first talking about let me educated you my dear hopeless lost soul who probably is kloe kardishan cos who the Fuck in their right mind would be jealous of that stupid Trashdiashan family. 1. dont tell people to go learn how to spell when you dont know how to spell yourself its spelled Osbourne not Osborne get it ??? . and second the Osbourne family arent famous for nothing they are hard working people who are actually famous for doing something besides being famous for their daughters Sex tape with a famous singer. and third if you call good looking having looking like kim kardishan who is just about as fake as they come you seriously need help bitch doesnt look like that for no reason she is FAKE !!!!! so go get a life and stop watching their fucked up show .
i think the trashdashians need to give to the poor and get a job making minium wages so they can see what alot of people have to live on they wouldn't be so famous if it wasn't for the sex tape that the slut kim made then she has to take an xray of her ass to try and make people believe she didn't have implants who the hell cares she and her mom are two of the trashiest women i have ever seen they make me sick maybe kim should marry her mom since she lets her run her life they are some of the greediest people i have ever seen i hope kris never see another woman like her he deserves better
KUDOS TO SAMMY.....I COULDN'T OF SAID IT ANY BETTER IF I TRIED...THE BEST POST YET....I, MYSELF HAVE GONE TO GOPETITION.COM AND SIGNED UP TO GET THESE MORONS OFF THE AIR FOR STARTERS.....ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.....PEOPLE SAY WERE HATERS, BUT THE THING THAT REALLY IRKS ME IS HOW STUPID THE FANS OF TRASHIANS CAN BE......I'D BE A HATER ANY DAY, COMPARED TO BEING STUPID AND BEING CONNED BY THIS A$$holes.......NUF SAID.......
Kim, If there is a shred of decency in you, GIVE THE RING BACK. He gave it to his wife, you decided that you did not want to be his wife if it meant living in Minnesota... Stay in California, but give the ring back... Get a life and stop following your Mother.. you are 31years old....
People really think that it is their job to hate people who never did anything to them. Learn how to spell before you talk about people. I feel for the Kardashians, people hate them because they are not only rich but good looking. When the Osborne was on TV they never got such a bad rap like the Kardashians but look at them. Get over your hateful evil jealous selves and get a real life. Kim keep your head up and this too shall pass my dear.
Filthy dirty west's pest.
Kim,you are wonderful!
Believe me!

For immediate release: July 31, 2013
Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 566 9790, firstname.lastname@example.com)
We see no evidence that Bridgeport's new bishop has shown any real courage or compassion in the church's on-going clergy sex abuse and cover up crisis. The crisis has hit the Brooklyn diocese hard – it has 53 proven, admitted and credibly accused priests. We see no indication that during his 25 years in Brooklyn he took any steps that were any different from any Catholic priest anywhere. So we are not encouraged by his promotion.
In Bridgeport, there are 34 proven, admitted and credibly accused priests. Many of them are still alive, few of them are incarcerated, and most are likely living among unsuspecting neighbors. Alerting the public about the whereabouts of these potentially dangerous men should be Caggiano's first act as Bridgeport's bishop. Then, he should post their names, photos and whereabouts on the diocesan website and in parish bulletins.
Bridgeport parishioners have endured years of poor leadership. Complacency won't reverse this. Connecticut Catholics must be vigilant and skeptical. Complacency protects no one. Vigilance is crucial.
Many will be inclined to give Bishop Caggiano the benefit of the doubt. That's reckless. He's been a priest for decades, during a crucial time in the church. But he seems to have done little or nothing to distinguish himself from a largely callous, timid and deceptive church hierarchy.
We hope our misgivings about him will be proven wrong. For now, however, we urge everyone in Bridgeport who sees, suspects or suffers child sex crimes or cover ups to contact secular officials, not church officials.

Which Country Consumes the Most Chocolate?
An interactive map shows which nation ate the most chocolate in 2012
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
According to a study performed by Leatherhead Food Research, Confectionary News has made an interactive map of the top 20 chocolate consuming countries for 2012.
Research found that most of the countries were based in Europe, due to the location of chocolate brands like Nestlé and Lindt in Switzerland.
The average Swiss citizen had 11.9 kg of chocolate per capita in 2012, making it the highest consuming country analyzed in the study. Your typical Swiss chocolate bar is about 40-45 grams, meaning each person has about 240 bars per year.
Ireland was the second largest consumer, with an average chocolate consumption of 9.9 kg. The United States had about 5.5 kg per capita in 2012, and was surpassed by the UK, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Canada, France, Poland, Russia, Australia, and Sweden.
Factors that may have contributed to the findings include whether or not the country has a large middle class population with high disposable income.

Time to resume football's hardest job
Glenn Roeder will continue one of football's hardest jobs on Sunday when he takes charge of Newcastle United's clash with Chelsea at St James' Park.
Many people say that the England job slots into this category too but with the national role as boss, the pressure doesn't come on a daily basis and therefore there is no escape when the going gets tough.
OK, managing in League Two is tough but with low expectations comes less pressure or at least a different kind of pressure.
True every set of supporters want to see good results but not everywhere in the UK or anywhere else around the world is the football team the main thing in the city and the appetite for the club as unfeedable as it is here in Newcastle.
Because, remember a bad result in the Premiership is always just around the corner.
And in the shape of champions and title chasers, sorry quadruple chasers Chelsea, that is exactly the case on Sunday.
Roeder's side will go into the clash in dire need of a win but that in Chelsea they are facing a side who are simply on fire at the moment and no anything other than three points isn't enough to keep alive their glorious dreams of a quadruple.
Yes, Newcastle are involved in the title race but not in the way any of us want.
And if watching Chelsea come here chasing the title wasn't bad enough, even winning on Sunday would mean aiding Manchester United - a team we once done battle with at the top, it's a horrible situation to be in.
But push on for three points, Roeder's boys must.
It doesn't look like Michael Owen is involved now and Shola Ameobi also doesn't look like being fit.
Andy Carroll therefore must come in to the equation.
The 18-year-old is on fire and full of confidence after firing in a hat-trick against Boro in the reserves in midweek.
True, the reserve scene is a million miles away from the Premiership but Carroll helped turn the game on its head at Portsmouth despite the 2-1 defeat.
Fittingly one of Carroll's goals in the reserves came when the striker dived low to head home despite a defender's boot being just milimetres away from his head.
Yes, fortune favours the brave and that's exactly the way Roeder, Carroll and all of the rest involved on Sunday have to look at it.
2 Comments
Perhaps we will dumbfound everyone and scratch a draw which no doubt would be heralded as a great achievement.
Make no mistake this manager is neither able to motivate the team nor find and attract those capable of lifting the quality above what already exists.
Like my mum taught me I shall pray for my team tonight as I fear not for them tomorrow but for the embarasment that may be caused to loyal supporters who deserve so much better.
I would guess that managing in league two would be quite different because of the rawness in talent being displayed. A developed personality would make there way to the top league. If this kid Andy must be used, he may get his socks knocked off by a Chelsea player and then by the Newcastle fans. The motivation for Roeder I would suggest is to concentrate on what he will be bringing in for next years roster and then play around that. And that would mean to get Oba the ball. But if they want to lose now and make Andy their guy in the next 2-4 years, then play him and he will become a competitor barring any setbacks.

No transfer of Napoles Friday night, says PNP spokesmanBy Jamie Elona |INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Janet Lim-Napoles will not be transferred Friday night to Fort Sto. Domingo in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, the Philippine National Police said.
Senior Superintendent Reuben Theodore Sindac, PNP-Public Information Office chief, said authorities need time to prepare for Napoles' transfer from the Makati City Jail to the police training camp in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
"We need to ensure that the place is adequately prepared and adequately secured. So in all likelihood, there will be no transfer of JLN [Janet Lim-Napoles] tonight," Sindac said.
He made the announcement after the Makati Regional Trial Court granted Napoles' plea to be brought to a safer detention facility, citing threats on her life.
Makati RTC Sheriff Carreon arrived at the Makati City Jail past 7 p.m. to deliver a copy of the court order.
"It's normal," Sindac told INQURIER.net in a phone interview to clarify that the transfer wouldn't happen Friday night even as the court sheriff had served the transfer order.

I would recommend this to anybody ! cheap , works great for virtually any skin type and makes my skin radiant! Keeps my skin moisturized while using BP, which is very drying . the only thing that bugs me is that the container my product came in did not have a pump and is hard to use sometimes. However I'd gladly ignore that fact because of everything else this product has going for it!
I've tried many high-end brands, but this is nice and suitable for sensitive skin.
EDIT: I've stopped using this as over time it gave me small red tiny pimples. It also began to sting the sensitive areas on my face, like the side of my nose.
Finally i've found my HG moisturizer! After all the disappointment from Liz Earle, Estee Lauder daywear, Clinique anti-redness, Laneige waterbank, Vichy normadem, Avene... The smell is a bit too sweet for my taste but who cares! It makes my skin so smooth, soft and clear and that's all i need! And it's also natural, paraben free, dirt cheap (£6+ on ebay)
Love Sukin products! The moisturizer is absorbed really quickly and same with their firming serum. I love how it doesnt make my face feel oily and doesnt make me break out.
I LOVE this product. Its become my HG Moisturiser
A little goes a long way
Great for sensitive skin - doesnt break me out
Smells great
made in australia
It isnt greasy - farely thick creme consistency which settles into skin beautifully.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i love this product! i love that the packaging makes it so easy to use! i love that it's all natural and cruelty-free. i love that the moisturiser is not greasy and absorbs into my skin really easily and leaves my skin actually feeling moisturised. i use this with the Sukin rose hip oil just for that added moisture. perfect!!!
The best non greasy natural moisturizer that is kind to the pocket, I'm sold. I love it. Keen to try their other products.
EDIT: I don't know why but my skin became really congested recently. I don't know if it is this or change in season. I've been too scared to use this again and waiting for my skin to normalise before I try this again. Be careful!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
For the price, this is amazing. I don't even think I have to write a review 'cause I'd just be repeating what everybody else has already said. This is not only dirt cheap, but one of the nicest moisturizers I've used.
I absolutely love this moisturiser, when ever I wear make up I use this as a base under it and it makes my face look so dewy and gorgeous! If I use it during the day it gives me a radiant shine, it's very light on the face so you hardly notice you're wearing it. My only problem is that it takes a little work working it into your face, other than that, 5/5!
I love this! It's the second moisturizer I've used and definitely the best! The first moisturizer I used was high-end. It was a Missha moisturizer which was $20-$49 (it's been a while, forgive me) and this is hands down the best. First, it's dirt cheap - I got it for $7.50! I adore the packaging (it's a pump so it's really hygienic) and it's not tested on animals! I'm also very surprised that such a cheap moisturizer does not contain mineral oil! Usually cheap moisturizers do but this doesn't so big plus for me! It's gotten rid of the dry patches in my cheeks.
The only bad thing about this product is that (I think) it's only in Australia so not everybody can buy it. ):

If you haven't already marked your calendars for opening night for the Buffalo Sabres – your behind on the times. But it is also important to mark your calendars for the rest of the opening nights that occur throughout the Buffalo Sabres organization, to include the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League and the Elmira Jackals of the East Coast Hockey League.
Buffalo Sabres Opening Dates
The Buffalo Sabres open up the 2014-2015 regular season on Thursday October 9th with a 7PM contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
This game also starts the home portion of their schedule and will be fans first chance to see the newest editions (and some welcome backs) added to the roster during the free agent period.
We most likely won't see many prospects drafted this year, as we have some time for them to further develop with their respective junior teams.
The Buffalo Sabres open the road portion of their schedule against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday October 11th.
Rochester Americans Opening Night
If you are planning on taking any trips to Rochester this year to see the Amerks at the Blue Cross Arena – you will have plenty of chances.
The Rochester Americans will open the home portion of their schedule on Friday October 10th. The full AHL schedule will be released later this summer. Rochester has been guaranteed the following home dates on the schedule at this point:
• Friday, Oct. 10

Just a week later the Elmira Jackals start their 15th season in the ECHL with two home games against Kalamazoo. Opening night for the Jackals is on October 17, 2014.
The Jackals don't hit the road until facing off against Reading on October 24th.
