It's no secret that I am a huge fan of making my own skin care products. Heck, I wrote an entire book with recipes galore. Of course, the star ingredient was coconut oil! (I know, shocking!)
As much as I love making my own personal care products, I also like to sit back from time to time and enjoy high quality, natural, coconut oil based products that are good for my skin and don't require me to log any time in my kitchen. (Gasp – yes sometimes I do need a break from all of my kitchen time!)
A while back, a new-to-me company contacted me about reviewing their skin care products. I checked out the website and was really inspired by what I saw! Not only did the skin care products look and sound amazing, but the story behind the company was pretty special.
Mailelani body care naturally is crafted with Cold Pressed Organic Suau'u Popo (coconut oil) and plenty of other fresh exotic ingredients. (And let me tell you that they smell unbelievable!)
What makes Mailelani truly outstanding?
- It's trustworthy, ethically produced and has a social conscience.
- It has the utmost respect for nature.
- It's genuinely concerned about health – yours as well as the environment. The Direct Micro Expelling Technology Method (DME) used to expel the coconut oil used in Mailelani's products does not need further processing making it is simple and environment friendly.
- It supports local and community businesses. People contribute by not only their learned skills but also by providing raw material that are used in their individual businesses. These materials are used to manufacture a variety of soaps, massage oils and lotions, as well as handmade packaging.
- It offers a sustainable source of income and better living standards. The villagers receive maximum benefits for their product.
- The products created use local ingredients including Virgin Coconut Oil, Tamanu oil, Koko Samoa, Papaya, Lauti, Noni, and Honey which all contain very distinctive health properties and natural goodness.
- This virgin coconut oil is produced in the Samoan villages around the Islands of Upolu and Savaii. It creates employment opportunities for rural communities and empowers people by providing them with sustainable sources of income and increased living standards.
Mailelani has two different collections of products. Instead of telling you about them, check out this photo with a great description:
I was fortunate enough to review two items. I tried the Vanilla and Koko Samoa Body Lotion and the body scrub in two different scents (vanilla koko and frangipani).
I absolutely adored the body scrubs! They are sugar and white sand based so no stinging involved! They smell delicious but not overpowering. They are really effective at exfoliating tough areas. And finally, they are great arm-pit stink removers! Seriously. Tiny really enjoyed the scrubs too. She couldn't stop sniffing herself after we got out of the shower.
The Vanilla and Koko Samoa Body Lotion was a little less user friendly than the scrubs. Since it was a sample size and our house was cool, I had to warm the bottle in hot water to get the coconut oil to melt enough so I could use it. Once I did that, I was able to use the lotion. Despite an extra minute or two getting the lotion out, it was well worth the time it took!
The Mailelani line of lotions are very nourishing! I could feel the lotion sinking deeper and deeper into my skin. It wasn't greasy at all and absorbed quickly. It has a very light fragrance and is great for sensitive skin (which I have.) I experienced no reactions which I often do from scented products I personally do not make.
Mailelani has a wonderful selection of massage lotions, handmade soaps, and body lotions, all of which I am quite sure are equally wonderful. In addition to the United States, Mailelani offers their products to customers in Samoa, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Japan. Pretty cool right? No excuse not to order!
Mailelani is generously offering one of you the chance to try their products. One lucky winner will receive a $20 gift certificate, good for anything in stock! Trust me, you won't be able to decide what to order!
This giveaway opens today, November 17, 2012 and closes November 23, 2012 at 11:59pm PST. Enter using Rafflecopter below. I will email the winner and you will have 48 hours to respond before another winner is selected.
Good Luck!

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of
your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

Headlines November 15, 2013 Full Show | First Story >
Obama Allows Health Insurers to Continue Substandard Plans
President Obama has reversed part of his signature healthcare law, allowing people to temporarily remain on plans that do not meet minimum standards. Obama made the change in response to mounting pressure after some consumers received cancellation notices despite vows they could keep their plans.
President Obama: "The bottom line is insurers can extend current plans that would otherwise be canceled into 2014, and Americans whose plans have been canceled can choose to re-enroll in the same kind of plan."
During his address, Obama admitted his administration had "fumbled" the rollout of the new law. The impact of the latest change remains unclear since insurance firms and state officials still may not allow people to keep the old policies.
Obama Calls on Congress to Wait on Iran Sanctions
President Obama has called on Congress to hold off on new sanctions against Iran as he and other world leaders attempt to reach a deal on Iran's nuclear program. Lawmakers from both parties have vowed to move ahead with a measure targeting Iranian oil exports, despite progress in recent talks. On Thursday, Obama asked Congress to wait.
President Obama: "If we're serious about pursuing diplomacy, then there is no need for us to add new sanctions on top of the sanctions that are already very effective, and that brought them to the table in the first place. Now, if it turns out they can't deliver, they can't come to the table in a serious way and get this issue resolved, the sanctions can be ramped back up, and we've got that option."
A United Nations inspection report showed Thursday that Iran has largely put the brakes on its nuclear expansion since President Hassan Rouhani was elected in the summer. Talks between Iran, the United States and five other world powers are due to resume in Geneva next week.
Iraq: At Least 41 Killed in Blasts Targeting Shiites
In Iraq, a series of explosions aimed at Shiite worshipers killed at least 41 people and injured more than 100 Thursday. The attacks targeted Shiites observing the religious ritual of Ashura. Violence in Iraq is currently at its highest level since 2008.
Warren Questions Fed Chair Nominee Janet Yellen on Failure to Regulate Big Banks
Janet Yellen, President Obama's nominee to head the Federal Reserve, faced questions at a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday. Yellen has been the Fed's vice chair since 2010. She defended the Fed's economic stimulus program, praised outgoing Chair Ben Bernanke and responded to questions from Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren about the failure to regulate big banks.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "Do you think that the Fed's lack of attention to regulatory and supervisory responsibilities helped lead to the crash of 2008?"
Janet Yellen: "You know, I think in the aftermath of the crisis we've gone back and tried to look carefully at what we should have been done different — what we should have done differently, and there have been important lessons learned."
Judge Criticizes U.S. Failure to Prosecute a Single CEO for Financial Crisis
A federal judge in Manhattan who oversaw a recent fraud trial against Bank of America has criticized the Obama administration for failing to prosecute a single high-level executive over the financial crisis. In a speech this week, Judge Jed Rakoff honed in on Attorney General Eric Holder's statement that it is difficult to prosecute banks when it seems doing so could hurt the economy. Judge Rakoff said, "To a federal judge, who takes an oath to apply the law equally to rich and to poor, this excuse — sometimes labeled the 'too big to jail' excuse — is disturbing, frankly, in what it says about the department's apparent disregard for equality under the law." Judge Rakoff noted Holder was referring to the prosecution of institutions, adding that when it comes to prosecuting CEOs "the excuse becomes entirely irrelevant." Last week, New York Federal Reserve president William Dudley also criticized the big banks, saying some have an "apparent lack of respect for law, regulation and the public trust."
U.S. Probes Potential Currency Manipulation by Traders at Big Banks
In the latest potential financial scandal, the United States is investigating the actions of a group of traders at the world's largest banks. Nicknamed "the cartel," the traders allegedly shared information in online chat rooms in a bid to manipulate the price of foreign currencies. Attorney General Eric Holder told The New York Times, "The manipulation we've seen so far may be just the tip of the iceberg."
AP Source Sentenced to 3 Years for Leak on Yemen Operation
A former FBI agent has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for leaking secret information about a U.S. operation in Yemen that was published in an Associated Press report. The AP story sparked the mass collection of reporters' phone records by the Obama administration in what the outlet's president called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion." The leaker, Donald Sachtleben, was also sentenced to an additional eight years in prison for unrelated child pornography charges.
Relatives of Drone Victims Travel to D.C. for Summit
The second International Drone Summit is taking place this weekend in Washington, D.C. Relatives of those killed by U.S. drones in Pakistan and Yemen are gathering with drone critics from CodePink and other organizations. Among those traveling from Yemen is Faisal bin Ali Jaber, an engineer whose nephew and brother-in-law were killed in a drone strike. In a letter to President Obama, Jaber said his nephew was a policeman while his brother-in-law was an imam who preached against al-Qaeda. He wrote, "In his death you lost a potential ally — in fact, because word of the killing spread immediately through the region, I fear you have lost thousands."
Report: 97% of NYPD "Stop-and-Frisks" Yielded No Conviction
A new report finds the New York City Police Department's controversial "stop-and-frisk" policy has yielded a conviction rate of just 3 percent. The report by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman reviewed 2.4 million stops between 2009 and 2012. Overall, just 0.1 percent of those stops resulted in a conviction for a violent crime. U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin ruled stop-and-frisk unconstitutional in August, but an appeals court stayed the ruling last month and removed her from the case. Newly elected Mayor Bill de Blasio has vowed to drop the city's appeal of Scheindlin's ruling.
Philippines Death Toll Climbs; Corpses Buried in Mass Grave
The Philippines government says the death toll from Typhoon Haiyan has risen to 3,621 people. The United Nations initially said Thursday more than 4,000 had died, but later said it was reviewing that number. The precise toll is still unclear as decomposing corpses remain on the streets. In Tacloban on Thursday, scores of bodies were buried in a mass grave. A disaster official said the move was temporary.
Renato Romero: "Right now, what we're doing is, this is a temporary collected mass grave. This is temporary because for all the cadavers here, you know, at the meantime, need to be buried to give them a decent burial and give them dignity, for the dead. It's a temporary burial for future identification process."
Iceberg the Size of Singapore Heads to Sea in Latest Sign of Warming
In the latest potent sign of global warming, an Antarctic iceberg the size of Singapore is heading out to sea after breaking off from a glacier in July. The iceberg could disrupt international shipping.
Report: 2013 Among 10 Warmest Ever Recorded
New figures show this year is on pace to be among the 10 warmest ever since record keeping began. Jeremiah Lengoasa of the World Meteorological Organization discussed the findings on the sidelines of the U.N. climate summit in Warsaw, Poland. He said a warming planet is fueling extreme weather.
Jeremiah Lengoasa: "The year 2013 is already on course to be among the top 10 warmest years since modern recordings began in 1850. We cannot at this stage attribute a single typhoon to climate change. What we do know of course is that climate change affects sea level and sea level rise. Secondly, climate change affects ocean surface temperatures. In this context, as you would know, these are fueled — these storms are fueled by warmer oceans over which they form and over which they pass."
Democracy Now! will be broadcasting live all next week from Warsaw covering the U.N. climate change summit, known as COP 19.
Gas Pipeline Explosion Kills 2 in Poland
While the U.N. climate summit continued in Warsaw Thursday, a village in western Poland was rocked by a gas pipeline explosion that ignited homes and killed at least two people. At least 13 others were injured. One witness said she thought the world was ending.
Pipeline Explosion in Texas Spurs Evacuation of Entire Town
A gas pipeline explosion Thursday in North Texas prompted the evacuation of an entire town. Officials say workers accidentally drilled into the Chevron pipeline near the town of Milford. There were no reports of injuries. An enormous plume of black smoke and flames could be seen for miles.
Colorado City Approves Fracking Ban
Voters in the city of Broomfield, Colorado, have approved a ban on the controversial natural gas drilling technique known as fracking. Initial results showed the ban had failed, but officials now say it passed by 17 votes. All four Colorado cities with fracking bans on the November ballot have now approved them.
Michigan Prosecutors to Speak on Renisha McBride Shooting
Prosecutors in Michigan are expected to announce today whether they will charge a white man who shot an unarmed African-American woman on his porch. Family members say 19-year-old Renisha McBride was seeking help after a car crash when she was killed by a shotgun blast to the face. A toxicology report released Thursday showed McBride had a blood alcohol level of twice the legal limit to drive, but supporters say the results are irrelevant. They have called for toxicology results on the shooter, who claimed his gun accidentally fired at McBride.
Activist Jeremy Hammond Faces Sentencing for Statfor Hack
Activist Jeremy Hammond is facing sentencing today after pleading guilty to a role in hacking the private intelligence firm Stratfor. Emails from Stratfor's servers published by WikiLeaks showed the firm engaged in widespread spying on activists on behalf of corporations. Hammond faces up to 10 years in prison. He has already spent 18 months behind bars, some of it in solitary confinement.
Socialist Candidate Kshama Sawant Wins Seattle City Council Seat
Socialist candidate Kshama Sawant has won a seat on Seattle's City Council. Sawant is an economics professor who participated in the Occupy Wall Street movement. She is the first socialist candidate to win citywide office in Seattle in a century.

The end of summer is always bittersweet. Back to school time marks the end of vacation weeks, long weekends, barbecues and for most people, the opportunity to wear shorts. Here in Florida where shorts are always appropriate, it means only five more weeks of oppressive heat until we return to climate paradise. Of course, that is in turn balanced by living in a driving hell, as overmedicated snowbirds clog our roadways and change lanes without signaling. On the bright side, those swerving Cadillacs also signal that football season is under way, which makes it time to get the jump on the digital signage prediction cycle.

Most of us aren't weekend warriors, logging extensive hours of training for the next marathon. But, we look forward to walking the dog, biking around the neighborhood, or a round of golf. And when we worry that we're not exercising enough, we can reassure ourselves that short bursts of exercise are just as good, perhaps better. Fortunately, studies indicate that short bursts and interval training help people burn fat and increase fitness levels, even in 15-20 minute sessions.
Many managed services providers (MSPs) have built good practices involving remote monitoring and management services. They install agents on their clients' systems that generate alerts any time something is amiss, whether it's a hard drive failure, an Internet service blink, or application performance issue. The remote IT services provider can immediately address issues, often without ever having to visit a client site — sometimes without the customer ever realizing there was an issue. MSPs can also perform maintenance, do updates and install patches, all through the invisible medium of remote management.

Beautiful,Cozy and Immaculate Place! The owners and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Amazing Breakfast!Don't waste your time looking for anywhere else to stay in the Palm Beach area... Stay at Casa Grandview!
Beautiful place, manicured grounds, immaculate! This bed & breakfast is wonderful. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Every detail has been thought of in advance and if you forgot it, they probably have it available for you to borrow. The sitting areas throughout the grounds are inviting, secluded and peaceful. What a treasure right in the middle of West Palm. The room is beautifully decorated with snacks and drinks complimentary. The cleanliness of the room was a pleasant surprise. I travel with my own sheets and cleaning supplies, but this place passed the white glove test! Breakfast was delicious and everything was freshly prepared using only fresh fruits and vegetables. Give it a try, you will love it here.
This is an extraordinary, charming, totally unique, 5-star B&B! This is the place to stay in the Palm Beach area. Cheryl and Kirk Grantham have moved and transformed historic housing into a beautifully and creatively conceived hideaway tucked into a West Palm Beach neighborhood. Stay in the pent house suite, as we did, or stay in a variety of small houses and suites and enjoy the luxury of this impressive establishment. From Sferra sheets and towels to Gilchrest and Soames toiletries to three course breakfasts and intelligent and interesting and charming hosts, the Casa Grandview will rest your soul and raise your spirits. Can't wait to go again!
What a beautiful place! I can't say enough great things about it, the owners and staff. We had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave. Our room (Penthouse) was so cozy as was the entire house. The breakfast - amazing! We sat outside and it was so quiet. Please don't waste your time looking for anywhere else to stay in the Palm Beach area, stay at Casa Grandview. You'll be so happy you did.
Casa Grandview was simply amazing! From the moment we arrived we were greeted with such warmth and hospitality. We got a nice little tour of the property and were then shown to room. The decoration and mix of the old and new makes this place very romantic and cozy. My fiancee and I spent a weekend here celebrating our engagement and could not have picked a more perfect place. The rooms were very clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. You have an array of treats and snacks always available to you in your room and in the library. Breakfast is an experience. It's a 3 course breakfast with a delicious pastry to start, followed by some fresh fruit with yogurt and granola and last an egg and toast dish any way you want. I can't say this enough, it was a blissful weekend thanks to Casa Grandview, perfect place to celebrate a special time in our lives. 10 thumbs up!
Wow. A must see, a must stay, a must experience. There is no other b&b like this. What an amazing, beautiful, gorgeous, charming, elegant, & comfortable b&b. The owners have done such an exquisite job with the properties surrounding it as well. My husband and I celebrated our 5year anniversary at Casa Grandview with no regrets & full expectations to make it our yearly hide away. There is so much to do in the neighborhood within minutes which allows the stay to be worthwhile. The owners & staff were beyond helpful & respectful. I would recommend any and everyone to get away at this b&b. What a beautiful experience.
This place was wonderful , the property is bueatiful clean and peaceful . We stayed in a spacious and lovely cottage, after I checked in I never went to the office again .Everything i could possibly need was their in the room for me, it truly was a "home away from home" .I wanted to mention their customer service , but what you recive from the moment you arrive, is far more than that , this comes from the heart- good people who want you to feel welcomed , comfortable and are their to help you !!!!!

Mike Adriano spent years working as a boner-for-hire before being given his shot at directing, but he immediately rose to prominence as the one man willing to thrust his camera into the deepest, darkest, moistest parts of human sexuality. Training his camera on the quivering assholes of porn's hottest girls and aiming his dick at their innards and their throats, Adriano and his official self-titled site offers extraordinarily explicit hardcore porn like you've never seen before.
Bang Bros is one of the net's largest porn networks with 43 sites currently online. Of these sites, most people seem to focus on the more outrageous and irreverent ones, letting the quiet achievers pass by largely undetected. Facial Fest is one such quiet guy, but don't for a second think this 200-plus-scene POV site is anything less than brilliant. With an endless parade of new chicks lining up to receive a nice creamy pasting, each one shown in crystal clear HD that really makes it feel like you're on the giving end of the titular blastings, and consistent weekly updates to an already very impressive catalogue, Facial Fest is a guaranteed good time, even at a slightly slower pace than, say, the Bang Bus.
Although Mofos has curiously failed to cast among its models an army of big-titted MILFs hell bent on devouring every dick on Earth, the other women filling the ranks do an admirable job all the same. Actually, since these young lasses are more sprightly than most MILFs and prone to rash degeneracy, Mofos better take good care of 'em! On sites like Let's Try Anal, Stranded Teens, Public Pickups, and Real Slut Part, the Mofos crew and performers thrown down in reality-based hardcore romps well worth devoting some time and sexual energy to, MILFs or no MILFs.
Peter North has drowned an absolutely fucking insane amount of women in his ejaculate, yet he diplomatically invites you to bear witness to his legendary cumshots on this, his official online home on the Fame Digital network. With Tera Patrick, Rocco Siffredi, and Silvia Saint as his network-mates, North is in good company as he presents his members with his best work both in front of and behind the camera. Although he is mostly retired from performing these days, this is still a fantastic trip down memory lane whether you're here on a wanna-see-girls-get-plastered or gee-peter-norths-cock-looks-so-tasty basis. (What can I say? Ladies love Peter North!)
Care to see what happens at an adult industry casting session? Before they become superstar sluts inspiring raging hard-ons the world over, every wannabe pornstar has to start somewhere and that somewhere is Casting Couch X. Well, let's get real. The women seen here are no strangers to a porn set and are, in fact, some of the most popular performers of today. Thankfully, Casting Couch X's conceit is nowhere near as important as the results, which, I'm pleased to say, are incredibly sexy.
Everyone has to start somewhere and, for most young pornstar wannabes, that somewhere is a site much like She's New. This particular gateway to adult superstardom is presented by Team Skeet and focuses on teen and young adult sluts eager to make their mark. Whether a staged 'homemade' shoot or an obvious porno debut, She's New captures these fame- and cock-hungry girls in their physical prime and invites you, the home viewer, to enjoy what could very well be the start of a brilliant career… or the last hardcore scene they ever shoot.
Though it might often seem like any blowjob is an amazing blowjob, one look at The Art of Blowjob will surely set the record straight: there are blowjobs and then there are supremely erotic bouts of fellatio that leave the recipient panting and reeling after the most deeply satisfying sexual release of their lives. The Art of Blowjob concentrates on the latter and invites dozens of eager suckers to demonstrate their abilities in visually stunning HD movies unlike any other blowjob flicks on the 'net. The Art of Blowjob is a true original.
Hailing from Scottsdale Arizona, now operating out of Phoenix, Chica of Chica's Place is a super-fine homegrown pornstar who, with her hubby Dave on camera and penis-wielding duties, has made her own little pornographic oasis on the 'net. With HD videos and high-res photos showcasing Chica's curvaceous body, charming smile, and effervescent sexuality, Chica's Place is a fantastic look at an amateur couple who decided to immortalize their sex life on screen for the whole world to see. Don't miss this one, gents, trust me.

Tapas showcases a delicious selection of classic and modern Spanish recipes. --Food & Travel
Présentation de l'éditeur
Carlos and Patrick believe that dishes should marry simple, fresh ingredients in an uncomplicated way. They discuss new recipes, deconstructing them if they have too many steps or ingredients and then rebuilding them with the main ingredient first, adding only what is essential, stopping when 'the dish feels like it has enough strength of flavour and can stand on its own.' And the recipes aren't all classically Spanish - they often borrow ingredients and combinations from other parts of the Mediterranean to create that perfect flavour. With dishes like Slow Roast Belly of Pork with Fennel Seeds and Garlic and Chargrilled Roasted Courgettes and Squash with Oregano, Chilli Oil and Goat's Cheese, this is tapas that you can recreate simply and quickly at home and share with family and friends.

Notorious New Jersey: 100 True Tales of Murders and Mobsters, Scandals and Scoundrelsby Jon Blackwell
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Master story teller Marc Mappen applies a generational perspective to the gangsters of the Prohibition eraandmdash;men born in the quarter century span from 1880 to 1905andmdash;who came to power with the Eighteenth Amendment.
On January 16, 1920, the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution went into effect in the United States, andldquo;outlawing the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors.andrdquo; A group of young criminals from immigrant backgrounds in cities around the nation stepped forward to disobey the law of the land in order to provide alcohol to thirsty Americans.
Today the names of these young menandmdash;Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Dutch Schultz, Legs Diamond, Nucky Johnsonandmdash;are more familiar than ever, thanks in part to such cable programs as Boardwalk Empire. Here, Mappen strips way the many myths and legends from television and movies to describe the lives these gangsters lived and the battles they fought. Placing their criminal activities within the context of the issues facing the nation, from the Great Depression, government crackdowns, and politics to sexual morality, immigration, and ethnicity, he also recounts what befell this villainous group as the decades unwound.
Making use of FBI and other government files, trial transcripts, and the latest scholarship, the book provides a lively narrative of shootouts, car chases, courtroom clashes, wire tapping, and rub-outs in the roaring 1920s, the Depression of the 1930s, and beyond. Mappen asserts that Prohibition changed organized crime in America. Although their activities were mercenary and violent, and they often sought to kill one another, the Prohibition generation built partnerships, assigned territories, and negotiated treaties, however short lived. They were able to transform the loosely associated gangs of the pre-Prohibition era into sophisticated, complex syndicates. In doing so, they inspired an enduring iconandmdash;the gangsterandmdash;in American popular culture and demonstrated the nationandrsquo;s ideals of innovation and initiative.
Author Jon Blackwell sheds light on some historical whodunits in "Notorious New Jersey," the definitive guide to murder, mayhem, the mob, and corruption in the Garden State.Rutgers University Press
Based on FBI and other government files, trial transcripts, and the latest scholarship, this book provides a lively narrative of shootouts, car chases, courtroom clashes, wire tapping and rub-outs in the 1920s, the 1930s, and beyond, acknowledging how the Prohibition generationandmdash;Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and Dutch Schultz, among othersandmdash;forever transformed organized crime from loosely associated gangs of the pre-Prohibition era into sophisticated, complex syndicates. It applies a generational perspective to the gangsters who came to power with the Eighteenth Amendment.
Notorious New Jersey is the definitive guide to murder, mayhem, the mob, and corruption in the Garden State. With tabloid punch, Jon Blackwell tells riveting accounts of Alexander Hamilton falling mortally wounded on the dueling grounds of Weehawken; Dutch Schultz getting pumped full of lead in the menandrsquo;s room of the Palace Chop House in Newark; and a gang of Islamic terrorists in Jersey City mixing the witchandrsquo;s brew of explosives that became the first bomb to rock the World Trade Center. Along with these dramatic stories are tales of lesser-known oddities, such as the nineteenth-century murderer whose skin was turned into leather souvenirs, and the state senator from Jersey City who faked his death in a scuba accident in the 1970s in an effort to avoid prison.
Blackwell also sheds light on some historical whodunitsandmdash;was Bruno Hauptmann really guilty of kidnapping the Lindbergh baby? Who was behind the anthrax attacks of 2001? Not forgotten either are notorious characters who may actually be innocent, including Rubin andldquo;Hurricaneandrdquo; Carter, and those who have never been convicted of wrongdoing although they left office in scandal, including Robert Torricelli and James McGreevey.
Through 100 historic true-crime tales that span over 300 years of history, Blackwell shows readers a side of New Jersey that would make even the Sopranos shudder.

Soft robotic glove for post-stroke hand rehabilitation
[12/08/2015] Initial rehabilitation therapy for many stroke victims may focus on regaining the ability to walk. But when hands also are affected, therapy focused only on the legs can leave hand muscles contracted. A new, soft robotic glove that can open and close a patient's hand may bring stroke victims relief in a lightweight device that is less expensive and more pliant than current exoskeleton technology.

Strokes steal 8 years' worth of brain function
( Source: REHACARE.de )
[08/06/2015] Having a stroke ages a person's brain function by almost eight years, new research finds - robbing them of memory and thinking speed as measured on cognitive tests. In both black and white patients, having had a stroke meant that their score on a 27-item test of memory and thinking speed had dropped as much as it would have if they had aged 7.9 years overnight.Strokes steal 8 years' worth of brain function - Read more

In this paper, a tunable bandpass filter using cross-shaped multiple mode resonators (MMRs) and N:1 transformer based external quality factor tuning structures is proposed. The use of a cross-shaped MMR simplifies inter-resonators control while two Qe tuning structures are investigated and incorporated with the MMR to implement simultaneous center frequency agility and narrow and wide bandwidth tuning. Compared with traditional tunable filters, the proposed architecture requires less tuning elements and is easier to realize wideband and high-order tunable filters. Two examples (Filter I and II) are presented to validate the design. Both filters use a single MMR and six tuning elements to achieve a third-order wideband tunable filter. Filter I reports 58% center frequency tuning with constant bandwidth and 14%-64.4% fractional bandwidth (FBW) tuning when center frequency locates at 1 GHz. Filter II achieves larger frequency agility and wider FBW tuning of 82.9% and 95%, respectively, for the same bandwidth and center frequency of Filter I.

Laguna 14-12 Bandsaw
I got mine from Woodcroft in Orlando. Really great guys to deal with. I drove up to see the saw although I had read a lot about it I did not want to purchase it sight unseen. As luck would have it out of stock but within seven days I had one delivered.
Packaging was first rate along with fit and finish. The manual leaves something to be desired but Laguna makes up for it with their set up video on their website. Really top-notch.
As for performance I would give it 9/10. The blade drift was not as easy to adjust as I would have hoped but I do have it finally dial them. Plus, as noted in other reviews on different forums the bottom door gets caught up on the washer that is attached to the mobile base. Not a big deal but certainly an annoyance.
Overall I'm really pleased with the saw. The resaw king blade is a joy to work with and over all the saw is such an improvement over my 20-year-old 14 inch Delta.
Bottom Line
Great saw for the money
I have had my saw for about a month now and have used it a lot. The set up was very easy to do alone and everything fit perfect. Tables lined up with no problems, fence was square. I have seen other reviews and some complained about fit and finish, mine was great. It is a smooth running and quiet saw with plenty of power. I have mostly used it for cutting 8/4 hardwood and 12/4 hardwood.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
a little disappoiinted...
lasalle, IL
Have bot used it much yet. Overall, excellent cut quality compared to the Ridgid big box store this replaces. Not bad to set up IMHO. Easily did alone. The few cuts made so far a straight and true. YES! THe one issue is the blade tracking. Sent email to customer servicce at laguna, waiting for the response. The bade is centered on the top wheel, offset to the front on the bottom. The blade runs back to front going top to bottom. This means the top guide when properly set up when the guide is down, pushes the blade forward when raised. So the top guide needs to be repositioned if ever moved vertically. Not a huge deal, but I'm sure I will not always remember this.
Smooth as Butter

This is the best bandsaw on the market for the money period. I do my homework before I purchase anything. I have used this saw for a while now and I can attest to solid performance. I have made several angle cuts with this machine and its well thought out design. When I set up the saw It took me and my brother 5 hours to set it up including mobility kit and light kit. We took our time with the well laid out instructions with pics were a plus. The first time I put a blade in it was kind of scary but I have since purchased an additional blade for intricate work and I can replace one in under 5 minutes. If you are buying a saw for the name get a Powermatic If you want a saw that is Quiet and smooth get the Laguna 14-twelve. I will take a look at Laguna products from now on when purchasing any major shop machines. The guys at the Indy Woodcraft always celebrate with you when you drive away with any new machine. They spent hours over several visits on this purchase. Thanks for all the knowledge.

About Me
Ok my last review I had just completed the assembly and not had the opportunity to cut anything. Since then, I have used the saw numerous times and so far has cut everything I've tried without bogging down. My test cut was a piece of black walnut about 7" square, 2 ft long. Knots and all sliced right through it as fast as I could send it through. Not that I make all my cuts this was I wanted to see what the saw was capable of. WOW! I could not believe How nice the cut was or how powerful the saw is. I guess I owe a shout out to the blade too. I'm sure the teaming the saw with the re-saw king carbide tooth blade is the paring for the saw. This is an awesome machine and my buddies at Woodcraft couldn't have been any better. Thanks guys! and Thanks Laguna!!!
Amazing except the speed
About Me
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
The overall bandsaw is fantastic the only issue which is very minor is the set up and the blade takes a while to slow down after each cut.
Fabulous band saw. I think the pros have all been mentioned. I found assembly to be pretty straight forward and honestly only referenced the instructions for the wheel base I bought for it. One thing worth mentioning is Woodcraft's phenomenal customer service. My first band saw was damaged by the shipping company and Woodcraft had a replacement ready to go out the door in short order. Even with a back order, I got the new saw within a week. Thank you Woodcraft for amazing customer service.
My First Bandsaw
Waxhaw, NC
After having researched the various 14" bandsaws in this price range, and after seeing the positive reviews, I decided on the Laguna 14-12 as my first bandsaw. I will primarily be using the bandsaw for resawing. I just completed assembly and adjustment of the machine, and I am very pleased with the overall design and workmanship. Additionally, I am pleased with the customer service. When unpacking the machine, I found that one small part was missing. I called Laguna customer service and a few days later the part arrived in the mail. One problem area, which was mentioned by other reviewers, is the adequacy of the owner's manual. However, I found a video on the Laguna website in which they demonstrate the complete process of unpacking, assembly and setup of the bandsaw. That video answered all of my questions. I also purchased the optional mobility kit, light and resaw king blade. I have a small shop, so the mobility kit was essential. The mobility kit mechanisms work very well. While the light seems to be of good quality, the location is such that I have bumped by head on it a few times. The resaw king blade seems to cut very well, although I have only made a few cuts with it up to now. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase and consider this bandsaw an excellent addition to my shop.
Just got one after a long wait.
Well I just finished assembly of the saw and I have to say some of the other reviews were dead on about the instructions, being a little vague. I was able to figure out the gray areas and finished assembly in about 2-1/2 hours. I haven't installed the blade (re-saw king) and run the machine yet, so for now this is all I have to offer. More will follow but so far I'm very pleased. I can't wait to see how it slices through my project woods.
Great saw, great price!
I use this saw to resaw just about every type of wood you can imagine. With my resawing taken in to account I have been using a Timber Wolf 3/4in blade with a low TPI.
The saw itself never shows any hit of struggle or slowing down. Considering I resaw some of the hardest woods you can find it's great. A few example of this woods I have resawed would be West African Ebony, Purple Heart, Brown Ebony, Oak, Blood Wood, Madagascar Ebony... In part you have to give Timber Wolf blades some credit but the band saw itself unlike my older saw just keeps cutting. This is impressive also considering I run it off 120v not 240v which the saw is also capable of.
The additional features this saw has are also great, the fence is pretty good and the ease of blade changing is also amazing.
For the cost I would find it hard for anyone to find a new band saw similar in function / price.
