How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night?by Jane Yolen
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this read-along picture book, a classroom full of young dinosaurs plays with toys, does art projects, and reads books. But each activity is another opportunity for the over-enthusiastic Tyrannosaurus Rex to wreak havoc. Parents and young children will love the call-and-response nature of the book, and young dinosaur fans will appreciate the listing (and pronunciation guide) for a dozen different dino species. The format is extra vertical in order to accommodate T. Rexandrsquo;s biggest messes.
Praise for Tyrannosaurus Wrecks
andquot;Punchy writing, an equally in-your-face palette, and OHoraandrsquo;s characteristically brash painting style make this as much a stompalong as a readaloud.andquot;
--Publishers Weekly
andquot;Along with the pleasure of pronouncing those multisyllabic dino names, young audiences may find food for thought in the behavioral dynamics on display.andquot;
--Kirkus Reviews
andquot;Warmly colored with childlike bodies and emotive faces, Ohoraandrsquo;s dinosaurs are among the cutest you will come across in childrenandrsquo;s books.andquot;
andquot;The brief rhyming text, which scans well, tells a story with child appeal. There is a good balance of two-to-three word sentences with large, uncluttered illustrations, making the book a good choice for reading aloud. In their simplicity, the brightly colored pictures have the look of childrenandrsquo;s art, but they enhance the classroom setting appropriately with interesting details.andquot;
--School Library Journal
andquot;The shapely dinos, whose rough charcoal-style outlines and strong colors vividly contrast with the white or sometimes black backgrounds, are chunky and friendly in an eight-crayon-box color scheme and snazzy Peanuts-reminiscent outfits.andquot;
--Bulletin of the Center for Childrenandrsquo;s Books
andquot;Together the chanting rhythm, ragged lines, and setting of an un-chaperoned dinosaur class create a satisfyingly high-energy, primal read-aloud strongly reminiscent of Bob Sheaandrsquo;s and#39;Dinosaur vs.and#39; series.andquot;
--The Horn Book Magazine
The companion to Dinosailors and All Aboard the Dinotrain brings back our bestselling and adventurous dinosaurs with a plane ride that turns them upside-down!
These daring dinosaurs have conquered land and seaand#8212;now theyand#8217;re ready for the sky!
But to get airborne, they need a plan. They dinoblow. They run, push, leap, flapand#8212;and
take flight! The sky becomes their stage, as they join an air show. Zipping and zooming
and dancing on wings, the dinos are soon upside down and dinosick! They decide
to bail, hoping their dinochutes will work. They dino-do!
In this exuberant follow up to Dinosailors and All Aboard the Dinotrain, the rollicking
rhymes and paintings of reckless reptiles are dinofabulous.
What if a dinosaur catches the flu?
Does he whimper and whine between each "At-choo"?
Does he drop dirty tissues all over the floor?
Does he fling his medicine out of the door?
Just like kids, little dinosaurs hate being sick. And going to the doctor can be pretty scary. How DO dinosaurs get well soon? They drink lots of juice, and they get lots of rest; they're good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best.
As in their first dinosaur book, Yolen and Teague capture children's fears about being sick and put them to rest with playful read-aloud verse and hilarious pictures.

Marijuana Possession Arrests Exceed Violent Crime Arrests (Infographic)

Americans are shifting on marijuana. More than half of them think it should be regulated like alcohol and cigarettes, 18 states have passed legislation approving it for medical use and Washington State and Colorado have legalized it for recreational use, but it remains illegal under federal law. And the arrests continue — one every 42 seconds, and 86 percent of those are simply for possession, according to the Marijuana Policy Project.
In 2011, marijuana possession arrests totaled 663,032 — more than arrests for all violent crimes combined. Possession arrests have nearly doubled since 1980, according to an FBI report, while teen marijuana use recently reached a 30-year high.
President Obama said last month that going after recreational pot users in states where it is legal is not "a top priority" for his administration, which echoes a promise he made in 2008 not to interfere with states' medical marijuana laws. Since then, his administration has aggressively targeted dispensaries that are in compliance with state law.

This video was very well made. The atmosphere is so dark. The characters accurately parody their real-life equivalents. The voice-work was spot on and the animation was polished and interesting to look at. Overall, very deserving of a perfect score and I look forward to another installment of Googol GLaDOS.

I have a glitched jtag xbox, and i am using latest versions of Dashlaunch and FSD.
Everything is working perfect except Title Updates. When i open Title Update Manager for any game, and press Y to "Download TUs", after 2 seconds, xbox plays the notification (or update, whatever) sound of Nxe, and screen hangs. After then i can only reboot xbox. I have reinstalled FSD, cleared cache, nothing is solved. By the way, I have not blocked MS DNS from Dashlaunch ini file. FSD download covers,infos without any problem. So, TU manager should work, but it is not.. I will be appreciated if you help me.

Classy Glass Antiques & Collectables
Classy Glass Antiques & Collectables, England, UK
HERE for your appraisal is scarce & seldom found FULL SIZE perfume bottle presentation by D'ORSAY.
Comprising from left to right, of the perfumes: Le Dandy, Intoxication and Divine.
Each bottle, even when EMPTY are fairly uncommon, however here are all three, beautifully presented.
As can be seen, only `Le Dandy' has been used and it still contains over half of its original contents. `Intoxication' has just a slight loss through evaporation and `Divine' is intact.
They are full sized bottles: `Le Dandy' 12cms 4 3/4 inches `Intoxication' 11cms 4 3/8 inches `Divine' 12.5cms 5 inches
Each bottle retains its own original golden-silk cord and their individually named paper labels and the presentation box too is in remarkable good condition. This is a fabulous investment set for your collection, as I am sure that you would agree...
This presentation pre-dates 1950, as is evident by the inclusion of the fragrance: Divine
`Divine' was presented by Parfums d'Orsay in circa 1947 in this bottle which was designed by Jaques Guerin. The fragrance `Le Dandy' however was introduced circa 1912-1923, within a flacon designed by Louis Sue. Several years later during c1938 `Intoxication' was added to this floral-scented inspired repertoire. Each is now discontinued...
... EMPTY bottles of any of these are a desirable collective, and as a set of three, two of which are sealed and intact. ALL OF WHICH, retain original labels, sealing-silks and their tops! They represent an exception.
You will not find or locate another example of this presentation as is by d'Orsay. Its condition, as can be seen, is close to mint and as for the beautiful aromas held within? It is `A Treasure Chest' indeed.
From left to right, each bottle carries its unique moulded D'ORSAY & fragrance mark to the base.
The box is also in pristine condition and shows very little, if any distress for a perfume presentation box which exceeds 80 years of age.
Grab this charming beauty whilst you can...
... It is undoubtedly a golden opportunity for you to do so particularly at this current price, and once it has gone, then it has disappeared and most probably gone for ever...
Box dimensions: 8 x 7 x 1.75 inches Bottle heights: LE DANDY: 4.75 inches INTOXICATION: 4.5 inches DIVINE: 5 inches Postage weight: 1k 750gms

Viva 500 quilts on display in county rotunda
Published: Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 1:32 p.m.
Volusia County library patrons have created five quilts that celebrate Viva Florida 500 and Florida's rich heritage and diverse cultural history.
Each quilt has 100 squares that were the creative talent of local residents from ages 6 to 80. Subjects range from flamingo pride to Ponce de Leon's landing 500 years ago.
The quilts will be displayed through Jan. 25 in the rotunda of the Thomas C. Kelly Administration Center, 123 W. Indiana Ave., DeLand.
Viva Florida 500 is a year-long, statewide grassroots effort to recognize de Leon's exploration and celebrate Florida's cultural history.
Residents are meeting across the state to plan projects and activities to recognize the anniversary.
For more information about the quilts, call Karen Poulsen at 386-248-1745, ext. 11213.

So, Clive, I guess this is one of your photos:
I suppose it was your intent for my eyes to be drawn to the bright foreground, and stay there, looking at nothing else in the photo? Because that's what's happening.
Burning and dodging don't exist to cure errors in exposure--they're there to shape the viewer's interaction with the photograph, stressing what is important, subduing what isn't. Nature doesn't always cooperate with what we were seeing, and how we want other people to see that.

A convicted identity thief is being held without bond until his next probation violation hearing.
Kyle S. Puder, 31, of 145 High St., New London, stipulated Tuesday there was probable cause he violated the terms of his community control sanctions. His merits hearing in Huron County Common Pleas Court is Sept. 15.
"This is his second violation of probation," Huron County Assistant Prosecutor Daivia Kasper said.
Puder had been kicked out of Teen Challenge, she said, was re-admitted and then kicked out again. Teen Challenge is a Christian-based program that lasts 12 to 14 months for people of all ages with life-controlling addictions.
In late March 2013, Puder pleaded guilty to identity theft for running up $10,000 in purchases on a credit card he got in his grandfather's name. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors agreed to dismiss one charge of theft from the elderly.
About two months later, Puder was ordered to pay $10,142 in restitution to Capital One as part of his three years of probation.

Some 80% of bone metastases are due to prostate and breast carcinomas. For these high incidence cancers, 65-75% patients with advanced disease will have bone metastases (Ref. 2). They may suffer multiple skeletal complications over several years because the clinical course of metastatic bone disease is relatively long. The effects are often debilitating (intractable bone pain, fractures, hypercalcaemia, and spinal cord compression) and profoundly impair a patient's quality of life.
Bone metastases also occur frequently in patients with lung, kidney and thyroid cancers - respectively in 30-40%, 20-25% and 60% of patients with advanced disease.
Current treatments for skeletal metastases are largely palliative. They include opioid analgesics, external beam radiotherapy, beta-emitting radionuclides and bisphosphonates.

The Company is now completing its first transaction to accomplish its aggressive action plan with X-Change Corp. to separate the first set of conflicting operations in hemp-based nutraceutical and cosmoceutical product development. With Cannabis Science's selling of this corporate unit, from which the Company has received fair market value and is now a key investor, the Company stays on track to direct its full focus on its drug-development mission while providing external opportunities to foster the growth of X-Change Corp. from a vested-interest, shareholder position. As announced last week, X-Change Corp. will now take complete responsibility for the development of these promising nutraceutical and cosmoceutical business interests, providing Cannabis Science with an equity position for its shareholder equity growth participation.
"These changes will positively impact the shareholders of CBIS, while allowing the Company to pursue its exclusive focus on the critical research that we are conducting both independently and in conjunction with publically-funded clinical trial networks, which require our foremost attention," stated Roscoe Moore DVM, MPH, Ph.D.
The Company will soon announce the appointment of the Company's Chief Science Officer (CSO) and Chief Medical Officer (CMO), as well as other essential corporate officers and directors, whose focus will be to ensure the advancement of scientific i

The report argues that it is now recognized that a punitive approach leads to the creation of incubators for HIV, HCV and TB in prisons.
"We've been witness this week in Vienna to what is an all too familiar story: the unacceptable criminalisation and stigmatisation of a group of people, in this case, people who inject drugs," said Montaner. "As a result of repressive drug policies and frankly, appalling public health policy in many parts of Eastern Europe, people who inject drugs are now shouldering the burden of an HIV epidemic that shows all the signs of moving into the wider community.
"On the other hand we've also heard success stories in the region that give hope to scientists, researchers and policy makers who are committed to addressing HIV and injecting drug use based on sound scientific empiric evidence along the lines suggested in the report we have released today," concluded Montaner.
The report's recommendations include:

September 11th started out just like any other high-school day for me. I was chatting with my friends and trying to focus in French class when suddenly we got the news – the first Twin Tower was hit. It appeared to be a terrible accident to us at first. Our small class was shocked. Only later did we hear of the second tower being hit, and we knew at that point that this was a fully intended attack. Emotionally it was upsetting, but at that time I didn't know anyone in New York so I didn't have any personal connections. Honestly, it has taken me some time to realize the full impact September 11th had on our nation and on an international scale. Perhaps this was due to my age. Nonetheless, it continues to be a time in America's history to reflect and share each other's stories.

I stepped outside the house alone for half an hour, to try and escape my bungeeing emotions for a little while.
Popped into the barbers at the end of the street and settled into the chair.
"Half all over, please mate."
He frowned at my already short hair.
"You want a hair cut?"
Half an hour after he'd scraped the clippers over my head I was back alongside my Grandma's bed.
Her sight is failing and she enjoyed running her hand over the barren corn stubble on my scalp.
And today I realised what I was doing.
I wasn't sharpening my look, or even finding an excuse to take a half hour's break.
I was making myself look more aggressive, less approachable, harder, with more visible angles.
Because when people got close to me and said "Are you ok?" I started crying.
And I didn't want strangers spotting the look on my face and feeling obliged to ask.
So I made myself look like a cunt.
To save myself from feeling weak.

Boca Raton, FL, December 8, 2007 There is a clear link between GABA a chemical substance of the central nervous system that inhibits neurons in the brain and nicotine dependence, according to a study presented today at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) annual meeting. Researchers discovered that nicotine has significant effects on brain GABA, a finding which could potentially help curb the pleasurable effects of nicotine and help people break their addiction to it.
We found that GABA may provide a very useful target for nicotine addiction therapies, said Graeme Mason, Ph.D., associate professor in the Magnetic Resonance Research Center in the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology and Psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine and an ACNP member. GABA is just one of a complex network of actors that promotes addiction, and were hoping that this research will ultimately lead us to ways to help people quit smoking.
Mason sought to discover whether the enjoyable effects associated with smoking could be reduced in some way. When people use nicotine they may experience a sensation of reward, diminished anxiety, or a belief that they can focus more clearly or learn more easily. Researchers wanted to explore how a specific type of neuron that releases dopamine, a chemical that has been associated with pleasure, can prolong and intensify the pleasurable effects of nicotine. Although GABA inhibits those neurons, nicotine works against the ability of GABA to inhibit dopamine neurons after about 20 minutes, so the gratifying effects of nicotine are prolonged.
Researchers gave people who smoked regularly nicotine inhalers that deliver the same amount of the drug as in one cigarette. The amount of GABA in the subjects brains rose about 10%, but the brain was found to make GABA four times faster after using the inhalers, and the rate of new GABA generation remained high for at least 45 minutes. In other words, keeping th

Bombshell: Justice Department Only Selectively Complies with Freedom of Information Act (PJM Exclusive)
According to documents PJM has obtained, FOIA requests from liberals or politically connected civil rights groups are often given same day turn-around by the DOJ. But requests from conservatives or Republicans face long delays, if fulfilled at all. (And don't miss J. Christian Adams' PJTV interview here.)
February 10, 2011 - 12:00 am
– Michael Rosman, Center for Individual Rights. Six month wait.
– Jennifer Rubin (seeking records relating to employees, like Charlie Savage did). No reply at all.
– Congressman Frank Wolf. Five month wait. Wolf now chairs the Appropriations Subcommittee in charge of the DOJ budget. Oops.
– Jed Babbin, editor at Human Events. Six month wait.
– Jerry Seper, Washington Times. Six month wait.
– Jim Boulet of the English First Foundation. No reply at all.
– Jenny Small of Judicial Watch. Five month wait.
– Republican Pennsylvania state Representative Stephen Barrar. Four month wait.
– Jason Torchinsky, former DOJ and now ace GOP lawyer. No reply at all.
– Ben Conery, Washington Times. Five month wait.
It should be noted that the logs reveal plenty of mundane compliance to requestors of no particular note. Other times, very short delays mark a request from an administration friend. But in no instance does a conservative or Republican requestor receive a reply in the time period prescribed by law. The logs demonstrate an unmistakable pattern — friends zoom in the express lane, while foes are stuck waiting on the shoulder.
Politicized compliance with FOIA might be an administration-wide pattern. The revelation that the Obama Department of Homeland Security has politicized the FOIA process may be just the tip of the iceberg.
If so, what should we make of patterns of lawless noncompliance with the FOIA? If nothing else, it exposes the rank hypocrisy of those heady days in 2008 when transparency was a campaign promise. In the worst case, we have an administration willing to violate the law to conceal details about their governance.
Even this should outrage members of the mainstream media — unless of course they already zoom along in the DOJ information fast lane.

SMITHFIELD, R.I., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- In the world of personal protective equipment, bad assumptions are hazardous and can result in injury -- or worse. Yet, despite 25 years of government regulation, a handful of persistent bad assumptions are widespread -- endangering both the effectiveness of occupational Hearing Conservation Programs (HCPs) -- and worker hearing.
A new free, white paper from Howard Leight, "Bad Assumptions about Hearing Protection" provides an insight into the common and potentially dangerous misconceptions associated with hearing protection. It is available to download from: http://www.hearforever.org/badassumptionsarticle.
The white paper is authored by Brad K. Witt, MA, CCC-A, past president of the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA) and Director of Hearing Conservation at Howard Leight/Sperian Hearing Protection, LLC, a leading global provider of passive and intelligent hearing protection solutions.
"Specifically, the white paper details the six most common 'bad assumptions' about hearing protection for noise-exposed workers. These assumptions, if left unchecked, have the ability to torpedo an otherwise healthy Hearing Conservation Program, and leave the door open for hearing loss among workers exposed to hazardous noise," said Witt.
The white paper discusses:

OUT IN the Pacific time zone, the nanny-statists have been busy.
In California, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently signed a law banning restaurants from using trans fats when preparing food. In Seattle, city councilors passed a measure requiring shoppers to pay 20 cents for every plastic or paper bag they use in grocery, drug, or convenience stores. In Los Angeles, a new "moratorium" forbids new fast-food restaurants within a 32-square-mile section of the city that is home to 500,000 low-income residents. "Ultimately," the moratorium's sponsor declared in a press release, "this ordinance is about providing choices." But how blocking new fast-few outlets in a poor section of L.A. will generate more choice wasn't explained.
In San Francisco, meanwhile, Mayor Gavin Newsom has proposed a mandatory composting-and-recycling law that would oblige residents and businesses to separate their waste into multiple color-coded bins, whose contents would be inspected by city trash collectors. Individuals failing to "separate the coffee grounds from the newspapers," the San Francisco Chronicle reported, "would face fines of up to $1,000 and eventually could have their garbage service stopped."
Of course it isn't only on the Left Coast that government paternalists are busily restricting freedoms in order to spare adults the trouble of making decisions for themselves.
Regulators in Boston want to stamp out the sale of cigarettes in drugstores and on college campuses and to shut down cigar bars altogether. It makes no difference to the city's health commissioner that tobacco products are lawful and that many individuals enjoy them despite their well-known health risks. "Why," she asks indignantly, "would you want to sell something that has absolutely no redeeming value and ends up killing a lot of people?"
Sagging pants, a ridiculous fashion trend in which pants are worn low enough to reveal one's underwear, has been criminalized in communities from Louisiana to Michigan. In Riviera Beach, Fla., where a ballot initiative banning sagging pants passed overwhelmingly, violators can be hit with a $150 fine for a first offense, and up to 60 days in jail for repeated infractions. "It's not our intent to get rich off of fines or lock people up in jail," Mayor Thomas Masters insisted. "It's about a simple message: Pull up your pants."

About ANA598
ANA598 is a non-nucleoside inhibitor of the HCV RNA polymerase and is wholly owned by Anadys. Anadys has completed three Phase I clinical studies of ANA598 that have demonstrated potent antiviral activity and good tolerability. In a monotherapy study in treatment-naïve genotype 1 patients, treatment with ANA598 for three days led to median end-of-treatment declines in viral load ranging from 2.4 to 2.9 log10 in three separate dose groups. No patient at any dose level showed evidence of viral rebound while on ANA598, and there were no serious adverse events. Those patients from the monotherapy study who subsequently received pegylated interferon and ribavirin all exhibited further viral load decline, demonstrating that viral variants revealed by brief treatment with A

Movie Takes
The Memory of a Killer
An encroaching Alzheimer's thriller.
In The Memory of a Killer, also known as The Alzheimer Case (De Zaak Alzheimer), Erik Van Looy has done a nice job of putting together an engaging, high-concept thriller. But once we've finished being caught up in it, we can't help noticing that the high-concept pretty much goes to waste. It is this. A professional killer, Angelo Ledda (Jan Decleir), realizes that he's showing the first signs of Alzheimer's disease. His brother, Paolo (Roland De Jonghe), has already been institutionalized with the affliction, and Angelo visits him while he is in Antwerp to do a job. Paulo is without any memory of him -- or anything else. A nurse asks Angelo if he is a relative.
"Distant," says Angelo with a touch of black humor we don't see much of thereafter.
He has been hired by a man named Seynaeve (Gene Bervoets), who is working for Baron Gustave de Haeck (Jo De Meyere). The baron's ne'er-do-well son, Jean (Tom Van Dyck), has got himself into a spot of bother over a child prostitute, Bieke Cuypers (Laurien Van den Broeck), and is being blackmailed by one Bob Van Camp (Lucas Van den Eynde). Angelo successfully retrieves the money and the evidence from Van Camp, who pleads for his life with Angelo's gun to his head, swearing never to talk. Will Angelo spare him? Is his moment of hesitation here a pang of conscience or another Alzheimer's moment? We never have the chance to find out, for Bob suddenly decides to fight his way out of Angelo's grasp -- which proves to be a big mistake.
Then, while Angelo is still holding his corpse, the dead man's daughter calls out from just round the corner, "Daddy?" She makes as if to come and find him, and Angelo is presented with another dilemma. There seems to be nothing to do but kill her too. Once again, however, Van Looy lets him off the hook. The girl thinks better of coming in search of her father and merely calls out that she will be over at the house of a friend before leaving by another route.
These are dim foreshadowings, however, of what happens next when Seynaeve orders Angelo to kill Bieke, the child-prostitute. Understandably, the moral dilemma is easier for him to resolve when it is a question of killing in cold blood. "I won't do it," Angelo tells Seynaeve. "She's just a child." When the latter says he'll get someone else, Angelo tells him: "You don't understand. No one will do it." For a moment it looks as if the themes of memory and conscience are going to be getting a bit of an airing. Angelo is forgetting more and more things while popping pills to stave off the effects of his incipient memory loss, but he remembers that there are certain standards that even a hired killer won't violate, a line that so long as there is any cognitive function at all, he will not cross. Moreover, his assurance to Seynaeve that he won't find anyone else to do the dirty work either suggests a shared standard, a sort of code of honor of the assassins' guild that is as much a part of who Angelo is as any of the memories or personality traits that are beginning to deteriorate in him. Maybe more.
But Angelo is wrong. Seynaeve does find somebody willing to kill a child, and that suggests Angelo is a back number in more ways than one. As he strives desperately to hold on to his memory, to his self, the society around him seems to have relinquished its own moral identity without so much as a struggle. To be sure, making the baron the chief bad guy is a bit old hat. When was the last time anyone can remember someone with a title in a sympathetic movie role? And he is also associated with that other favorite cinematic whipping boy, the Roman Catholic Church. Van Looy must have known that all he had to do was surround the baron with priest and statues and candles to proclaim his villainy. But even these lapses into movie shorthand have their purpose. It is to underscore the extent to which a country in which aristocrats and clergymen were once the most highly honored people is itself losing its collective memory.
It's a good idea, even a great idea for a movie, but Van Looy doesn't seem to know quite where to go with it. From this point on the picture is a pretty routine thriller, as Angelo goes after the bad guys one by one while playing a rather too-familiar game of cat-and-mouse with the policeman, Eric Vincke (Koen De Bouw), who is trying to catch him before he can kill again. Vincke, the jaded but sensitive cop, has also been done too many times before. And for an American audience, it may be a bit confusing to sort out the deadly bureaucratic rivalry between Vincke's agency, a branch of the public prosecutor's office, and the Gendarmerie, which is corrupted by the agents of the wicked baron.
By the end, the movie-ish qualities of the movie threaten to take over as the good cops are sent off by Angelo on a pointless treasure-hunt for an incriminating audio cassette which is their only chance of thwarting the bad cops and nailing the baron. If he remembers enough to drop hints about where he has hidden the thing, why doesn't he just tell them? In short, the film is too long and unnecessarily complicated, and the most interesting thing it has to say is said half-way through. But Mr. Decleir's Angelo almost makes it worth seeing. Anyway, you won't be bored.

Really love the rose and the original Fresh lip balm. Very expensive but smells amazing and feels great on my lips. The rose has just a hint of color, perfect for day and night.

I purchased a full size of this after receiving a sample from Sephora. It is soft, has SPF 15 and gives a great sheer rose color on lips but can also be layered for more color. The packaging is very chic. I just wish it wasn't so expensive for a lip balm.

I actually received this from Sephora as a birthday gift, and it was a delightful present indeed!
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. Don't know how much it costs, but I got a mini and it's lasted me quite a while now. This product has a wonderful scent, adds the perfect amount of color and transforms chapped lips into luscious smooth lips ! It also has SPF 15. This is my go to product forever. I wouldn't even care if the price was $50+, it's that amazing for your lips.

Absolutely love this product!! Yes it is very expensive, and I never would have bought this until i received the two minis in a swap. I LOVE them and will repurchase them. This is a lovely smooth and creamy tinted chapstick that leaves a pinkish red tint. Such cute packaging too..

Became a staple in my handbag and nightstand!! But took off one star for the high price. It feels comfortable on my lips. Looks super natural and hides all the dry flakiness on my lips. It lasts on the lips just as much as the majority of lipsticks. Be sure to keep in Mind this is A Treatment Really, not a lipstick. It gives you some color for sure, but even better yet is that....... "this is the ONLY lip balm that doesn't break me out or cause black heads around my lips."
Thank you soo much Fresh, and please NEVER change formula.

I love this little lip balm! This was a chance discovery that I happened to have when I got a free sample from Sephora. The balm is super smooth and moisturizes for hours. This is a truly unbelievable product. I have been undergoing accutane treatment which has left my lips swollen and peeling for the better part of three months. This is the only balm that has virtually cured that condition. The color is fantastic and is great for fair-skinned girls in the summer. An added bonus is that this product smells awesome. I will definitely repurchase this product.

I have a few Fresh Lip Treatments. I enjoy the subtle red tint this gives my lips. I need some color on my lips to brighten up my complexion and this certainly does this. I'm not a fan of the texture, it's very waxy and sits on top of my lips. While waxy and heavy, it is a soft product and is very easy to apply. Careful storing this in warm places as the product can quickly go from soft to melted. I'm not a fan of lemony scents, but the smell is not offensive. The only thing that really wins me over about this is the SPF content. I would not purchase these at full price or outside of a set.

Don't buy this if you want full-colour lipstick or gloss. That's not what this product is. It is a tinted balm, and as such it provides only a sheer wash of colour. Now with that said, I really love this as a tinted balm. It is a perfect light pink shade that just gives my lips a tiny bit of enhancing colour and a dewey finish. If I layer it, it's more of a berry shine. It is very versatile and is the perfect addition to a natural face or to balance out a strong eye. Like many, I got a sample of this in the Sephora birthday gift set last year. I went through that tiny tube very, very quickly and then went out and bought the full size. I also bought it in Coral (love that one too, separate review to come). A few months later, I lost the Rose tube and missed it enough that I went and bought another one. Of course, right after that purchase, I found my first tube again! So, now I have two and they get a fair bit of use.
Other pros include SPF, a decent amount of moisturization, a soft, light feel, and a taste and smell that I quite enjoy. The guy I'm seeing now really likes the taste too, every time he kisses me when I'm wearing it he comments that I taste "sweet" or "delicious" or "like sugar". So, man approved. :) It is also literally the best lip product packaging I've ever seen, the screw-top is genius and I love the look.
Cons are the price, not the most long lasting (but about the same as any other tinted balm), and the tendency to get mushy in hot weather. I suggest keeping it in a purse or jacket pocket, instead of a pants pocket up against your skin; I find that keeps it from melting.
As I mentioned, I have already bought again once. In theory I would continue to buy it, but the price IS kind of stupid for what you're getting. I'll be looking for a comparable cheaper product. Otherwise I might wait for Sephora sales (Friends & Family or VIB) to buy it as needed.
EDIT: Gah! So apparently Fresh tests on animals. :/ No more Fresh lip treatments for me. I am thus changing my "buy again." Take that as you will.

A lot of people criticize the lack of colour payoff in this product. Yes, this product is very sheer. Hence it being labelled as a lip treatment rather than a lipstick. However, that being said, I was actually surprised that quite a bit of colour transferred to my lips!
I suppose I wasn't expecting much colour in the first place (and chose this particular one over the others due to the pink packaging), so it was a nice surprise to see the result. It gives my lips what my friends refer to as a "French" look - very natural and classic. Keep in mind that my lips are very pale naturally. I have a friend with snow white, "just bitten" lips and this colour would most definitely not show up on her.
The actual product itself works magnificently. By far the best lip treatment I've tried (better than that carmex gunk). As a person with VERY dry skin/lips, I've noticed a huge difference since using this product. The product has a very soft, silky finish, which I appreciate in a lip balm (over that waxy feeling). My mother has the regular version of this product (in the brown tube), and when using hers, I do notice a difference in the products. If you're not interested in the tint of this lip treatment, I'd opt for the original - it was much more nourishing to the lips. This leaves me conflicted for my next tube.... I'm not sure which to purchase next. If it weren't for the steep price, I'd buy both... plus the plum one!
Further bonuses of the product: It comes in a sturdy, screw-on lid, guaranteeing it won't open up in your purse and get tiny hairs stuck on it. Plus, it smells AMAZING. Like pink lemonade on a warm summer's day.

I didn't like this product at first. However, recently I've been using it with my benetint and it's the perfect combination!!! It looks natural and just so pretty! Love it! The spf is a huge plus in my books! <3

Eclipse Releases Hudson 3.0
The Eclipse Foundation announces the release of Hudson 3.0 – a continuous integration (CI) server used to improve the software development process.
According to the announcement, Hudson increases productivity by coordinating execution of repeated jobs, making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project and for users to obtain a fresh build. Features of Hudson 3.0 include new functionality and simpler installation and administration.
Specifically, Hudson 3 offers a new plugin manager to simplify management and installation from a repository of more than 400 existing plugins. A redesigned web interface using JQuery provides an improved look and feel. And, the Hudson footprint has been reduced by 50 percent. This development was the result of updates to the underlying libraries in order to meet Eclipse IP requirements. Libraries using GPL or LGPL licenses were removed, existing libraries were updated, and library redundancies were resolved.
The Hudson tool is written in Java, which runs in a servlet container, such as Apache Tomcat, and it supports tools such as CVS, Subversion, Git, and ClearCase. Extensive information about Hudson, including an online version of the Hudson Book is available on their website.

Anyone else running AVG's free antivirus here? With the latest virus definition update it's popping up and telling me there's a Generic3.RBB Trojan Horse virus in RoadRunner.exe
Was in the car tonight and when it's AVG updated it deleted my Roadrunner.exe file, even after re-downloading roadrunner (while sitting in Publix parking lot) it still pops up with the warning and I couldn't find a way in the program to make it permanently ignore the file. I'd click IGNORE on the warning popup and it'll go away but next time I try to run the file it does it again.
Just updated AVG antivirus on my laptop here and it's doing the same thing when I try and run roadrunner. I'm sure it's a false alarm but something in the RR's .exe is setting off AVG's alarm with the latest definition updates.
Guino: Anything that can be done on the coding side that you know of or do I just need to figure out a way to have it ignore the .exe?
Finally just disabled it in the car for now.

Pilots, combat systems officers may be eligible for retention incentives
/ Published June 25, 2014
Related Biographies
Eligible active-duty pilots and combat systems officers have until Sept. 30 to apply for the fiscal year 2014 Aviator Retention Pay Program, Air Force officials said June 25.
"As we resize our force with the right balance of skills to meet Air Force mission requirements and continue to focus on retaining high-performing Airmen, ARP is a necessary hedge against external factors that could adversely impact the Air Force's rated inventory," said Brig. Gen. Brian Kelly, the director of force management policy.
This year, ARP provides specific eligible pilots and combat systems officers with monetary incentives in exchange for active-duty service commitments of five years, he said. Similar to the fiscal 2013 ARP program, fighter pilots are eligible for longer contracts of up to nine years.
Additionally, the program permits Airmen who will complete their undergraduate flying training active-duty service commitment anytime in fiscal 2015 to lock in a contract for next year. Aviators in this category were not included in past ARP programs, Kelley said.
"The Air Force's early sign-up option will contract aviators to a future service period before their current undergraduate flying training ADSC expires," Kelly said. "Kind of a bird-in-the-hand approach to ARP – since budget pressures and force dynamics have created such a fluid environment. Payments will not begin until after completion of the undergraduate flying training ADSC, but they will be guaranteed."
This year's ARP program applies to lieutenant colonels and below who will not reach 16 years of total active federal military service by the end of the fiscal year that their undergraduate flying training ADSC expires. Applicants must not be eligible for any voluntary or involuntary force management programs as of the implementation of the fiscal 2014 ARP program. Also, these officers must be qualified for operational flying duty and entitled to and receiving monthly flight pay.
Depending on the aviator category and length of the ARP contract, incentives will vary from $15,000 to $25,000 per year with some categories eligible to receive 50 percent of the ARP total payable up front.
"Aviator retention pay remains a viable and cost-effective method to help retain our experienced Air Force aviators and plays a huge role in sustaining a predictable inventory of well-trained rated officers to execute the Air Force's war-fighting mission," Kelly said.

Gorgeous kirsch and mocha aromas lead the way for this silky, alluring version, loaded with raspberry ganache, fruitcake, melted red licorice and graphite notes. The long, silky finish has nice latent grip and buried minerality.Drink Dates: 2009-2028
