Student-Instructors Offer Free Golf LessonsAccording to a Buddhist proverb, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Well, if you're ready to elevate your golf game and you live anywhere near Temecula, you will find your teacher conveniently appearing every Thursday at The Legends Golf Club.
The Legends Golf Club is the sister site of the Professional Golfers Career College, the nation's leading two-year accredited golf college. In fact, in order to earn a specialized Associate's degree in Professional Golf Management, students must complete four courses dedicated solely to the instruction of golf. Every Thursday seniors gather at the Legends Golf Club to put their skills and study into practice, shaping and refining golf swings for their Techniques of Golf Teaching IV class. They, not to mention their students, could not be happier.
Take Glynn Rodgers, for example. A December 2012 golf college graduate, Rodgers taught a diverse group of 4 or 5 students, all of whom had different needs and areas of focus. Rodgers reveals, "My approach to training a new student is to find out where they are and where they want to be. Then I concentrate on the fundamentals. Most importantly, I try to make it fun!"
Rodgers, a recent retiree from the U.S. Navy, got into golf with the help of his dad when he was only four years old. Not long after that he began playing in junior tournaments and eventually his high school golf team. Rodgers shares, "I came to PGCC after retiring from the U.S. Navy...22 years of service. I've been a club-level golfer most of my life. I even worked as an Assistant Golf Professional for a year after graduating from high school... that was a long time ago!!!" Through all the years that have passed since then Glynn maintained a love for the game, and for teaching. Rodgers continues, "I really get a thrill out of seeing someone make a connection with what I'm trying to get them to do. I love the challenge, and I take seriously the trust a person places in me to help them improve."
The golf swing is a notoriously challenging skill to master, and no two people go about it exactly the same way. Versatility and clear communication are key ingredients to successful progress. To Rodgers, a great instructor is somebody who can see their student's vision, and be very forthcoming about what kind of work the student will need to put in. According to Rodgers, "A great instructor will really take time to ask questions, find out what the student wants to accomplish, and be honest about what it will take in terms of commitment to practice and instruction." So what is Rodgers' number one instruction no-no? "Don't just sell lessons; develop a program that will help your student reach their goals." This is a lesson he learned from his Techniques of Golf Teaching course at the golf college. Techniques instructor Nick Bland shared some sage advice that really stuck with Rodgers, "Tailor your lessons to the student; there is no 'one-size-fits-all' in golf."
According to Rodgers, Bland, who is also the Head Golf Professional at The Legends Golf Club, is big on the basics. "Basically, Nick stresses developing rapport with students, managing their expectations, and not using too much technical jargon... just keep it simple." While keeping it simple can be a tall order in this game, there are definitely students who defy their instructor's beliefs about how to hit a golf ball. "I currently have a ten year old student who can hit the ball like Happy Gilmore, with great hand-eye coordination. It cracks me and others up to watch!"

Faculty Spotlight on Clyde JohnstonClyde Johnston's pedigree in golf is extensive; after all, not everybody can say that their father helped launch the career of one of the greatest golfers the game has ever seen. Before his father, C.B. "Johnny" Johnston, became a PGA professional, he was the first golf coach at Wake Forest College (WFC). Johnny left in the middle of his college career at WFC to serve his country in the Air Force during WWII. After he returned, he assumed the role of golf coach during his senior year, and when he graduated in 1947, he stayed on as coach and Assistant Athletic Director.
Perhaps the only person in history to successfully convince a football coach to give up one of his scholarships, Johnny began recruiting good golfers to WFC. His search led him to Buddy Worsham, whom he selected to receive the scholarship. Worsham accepted on the condition that WFC give his best friend a scholarship, too. If Worsham's best friend was anybody else, this would be a rather pointless story, but, as luck would have it, Worsham's best friend was Arnold Palmer.
Johnston recalls a spectacular childhood memory, "One evening when I was about 10 or 11 years old, my Dad told me I needed to be home the next day at a certain time. He was having a guest over and he wanted me to meet him. I arrived at the appointed time to find out the guest was Arnold Palmer, who by that time had already won 2 Masters Tournaments. I think that was the moment I began to love golf."
Would it be fair to say that without that fateful one-for-one scholarship, the world may have never known Arnold Palmer? We'll never know. But what we do know is this: Johnny was a PGA pro in the Carolinas Section for about 30 years, and he had a hand in shaping the last century of golf by helping two golf greats get their start: Arnold Palmer, and Johnny's son, golf course designer Clyde Johnston.
As the Golf Course Design instructor at PGCC Hilton Head, Johnston, a Houston native, has carried on a tradition of golf in his family that started long, long ago. "I basically grew up in golf. My father was a PGA golf professional, so I started playing golf when I was very young." While Johnston played competitively in junior golf, high school, and even his first year of college, playing golf professionally did not call to him, not the way design did. Johnston shares, "My father dabbled in golf course design. He designed about six courses in his 'amateur' design career, and it was through those efforts that I became interested in golf course design."
The way many sons decide early on that they want to be "just like Dad," Clyde observed his father at the drafting table and was fascinated. "He had a drafting table in the basement and I would go down and watch what he was doing. He taught me all about topography, reading maps, drawing, and golf course design strategy." Johnston continues, "One night when I was about 13 years old, he was working on a layout and he looked up at me and said 'You know, you can make a living designing golf courses.' My jaw dropped – it had never occurred to me but I was immediately smitten with the idea and decided on the spot that was what I wanted to do in life." And that was it; Johnny called around to some architects he knew and inquired about what a young person would need to do and study to get into golf course design. The results were basically unanimous: work on golf course maintenance crews, get some construction experience, and get a degree in Landscape Architecture.
Johnston began working in the golf design industry in 1973 as a summer intern for golf course architect Willard Byrd out of Atlanta, Georgia, and then returned as a full time employee the following year. Along the way, he spent time working with the likes of Gary Player and Ron Kirby, but eventually returned to Mr. Byrd's office after a few years. "This is my 40th year in the golf course design business. I formed my own company in March of 1987 to provide golf course design services in the Southeastern United States. In total I've worked on over 120 golf course designs (new designs and renovations) with my own firm and working for other golf course architects." He earned his Bachelor Degree in Environmental Design and Landscape Architecture and, in his words, "The rest of what I know about golf course design, I attribute to my father's teaching, apprenticing for Willard Byrd for 13 years, and my own research and studies on golf course design."
Still after so many years, he's not tired of any of it. Johnston, who was President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) from 2003-2004, is celebrating his 40th year in the design industry, and 4th year as a Golf Course Design instructor at PGCC. After joining PGCC in the spring of 2009, he's had his share of gratifying moments. One stands out in particular: "My proudest moment as an instructor was when a student told me that after taking my class, he looks at golf holes when he's playing golf in an entirely different manner in that he understands more about golf course design."
After 40 years, he's picked up a thing or two about the design business and, while he's very proud of the work he's done, Johnston is quick to share the accolades. "It takes more than one person to make a golf course successful," he says. "You have to have good land, a great client, a good builder, a good budget and finally a good golf course superintendent with a good operations budget." Johnston continues, "I'm proud of all of my projects and designs so it's hard to pick one that I'm most proud of. It's almost like they are my children and it would not be fair to favor one over another. Although I have designed a few difficult golf courses, I prefer to design courses that are fun to play and are visually attractive. It's quite a challenge to design and build a new golf course, so it's very rewarding to see the finished product turn out well. And of course, it takes a team of capable people to get it all done."
Clearly he's got a lot of work to be proud of, but what about his golf game? A scratch-player, Johnston still has his eye on the future. "I've won some local competitions in my life but my proudest moment will be in the future when I make my first hole-in-one."

Volunteering Teaches Life LessonsWe live and breathe golf, working everyday to provide students with more than a comprehensive and engaging education; we also work to provide them with opportunities. A thorough golf education stretches beyond the classroom; it even stretches beyond the golf course. A real golf education has to stretch all the way to the core of a student, and fundamentally enhance their knowledge and love of golf, and shape it into something deeper, something that encourages them want to learn and do more. Part of doing "more" is volunteering. Going above-and-beyond to do whatever the task asks of you.
As all volunteers know, when you sign up to help out, it's all-hands-on-deck and you never really know where you're going to end up. Such was the case for Kody Idland, a Spring 2013 graduate from PGCC Temecula, who volunteered at the Kraft Nabisco Pro-Am and got an interesting assignment…caddying for none other than one of the original shock-rocker, Alice Cooper.
Kody was a couple of weeks from graduation when he opted to take one last chance to volunteer, in the midst of pre-graduation frenzy. "I knew that the Kraft Nabisco tournament was approaching and I missed out last year volunteering through PGCC and wanted to be sure to be involved this year." Idland shared. Kody's volunteer history with the golf college includes time at the Web.com tour stop for the Soboba Springs Classic, LPGA events like the Kia Classic, and PGA events, like the Humana Challenge. This lineup positioned him as a valuable asset when it came time to apply to the LPGA's first Major. "I looked on their website and applied to volunteer. I provided my volunteer history while at PGCC, and they assigned me to work with the golf channel. I also applied to caddy through PGCC."
Some say you should never work for free, but when you're starting out, what you get out of volunteering can significantly outweigh anything else you may have taken home. "Volunteering opened many doors for me and enabled me to make the right contacts and show my work ethic." Idland continues, "At every tournament I've learned something new, whether it was working with scoring, set-up, registration, media, or being a caddy. I tried to get as much out of the experience as one could."
Our Tournament Operations courses prepare students to handle every task a tournament can throw at them, the rest is up to them. Idland concluded, "PGCC was the fastest 16 months of my life, and I wish I would have volunteered more often." Not to worry, though. Volunteering has, in some significant way, shaped where Idland will take his career. "I enjoyed meeting new people and doing new jobs, seeing the courses and facilities along with meeting some of the best golfers in the world. I plan to work in tournament operations and become a positive leader and mentor."
Kevin Bourland, a senior at PGCC Temecula, also has post graduation plans on his mind, and as Kody mentioned, the 16 months spent here can fly by before you know it, which is why you have to act fast when opportunities arise. Bourland shares, "I came to be a volunteer at the Kraft Nabisco Pro-Am by an opportunity through PGCC, Gabe Codding the Operations Director of the Kraft Nabisco tournament came to the college to give a lecture on his success story in the golf industry." Gabe Codding makes an annual pilgrimage to the golf college to share how he became Tournament Director of the Kraft Nabisco Championship…by volunteering. It's a fascinating story, but that's another article.
Bourland continues, "It was through coordination with Jack Gyves that I was given the opportunity. I have volunteered at two PGA Tour events and one LPGA Tour event." Bourland's responsibilities were straightforward in terms of the task at hand, but that's not all he was doing. "I was able to apply a lot of different things that I have learned at PGCC while volunteering. One of the biggest things that I learned while attending PGCC is planting good seeds, which I learned in Doc's class freshman semester from a book titled 'Seeds of Greatness'. By giving great first impressions it has allowed me other experiences and opportunities with the people I have networked with."
That's notable when you consider that often times people associate volunteering as signing-on to do everything nobody else wants to do. But that is obviously the wrong way to look at it. Students from any campus will tell you, one basic tenet at the golf college is this: Attitude is everything, and Kevin has the right idea. Bourland also shared, "Something that I learned while I was volunteering was how being more respectful towards the patrons at the Tour Events leads to great fan support. It's all about the patrons. One volunteer told me that they go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is having a great time."
Kevin's enthusiasm is apparent, and you can tell that he loves the time he's spent volunteering. "What I enjoyed the most was when I volunteered at the Final Stage of PGA Tour Qualifying School, which was held at PGA West in La Quinta, California. I had the privilege of getting to announce players on the first tee and that was a great experience. Being able to shake hands and meet some of those guys was very humbling."
So now that he's a senior, what does he want to after graduation? "I plan to continue working towards becoming a PGA Class A member and my plans within the golf industry are to first become an Assistant Golf Professional and then from there get into more of Tournament Directing. Eventually, I would like to work in upper tier management for either Troon Golf or Club Corp. All of my volunteer jobs that I have done helped me gain more knowledge about all the planning it takes into putting on professional golf tournaments."

Consider the following headline: "Man Sues Over Mouse in His Energy Drink Can." Gross? Most definitely. Suspicious? Maybe. Bizarre? At the very least.
For the uninitiated, the case in question is that of Washington teenager Vitaliy Sulzhik who has recently garnered national attention for taking legal action against the maker of Monster Energy Drink. Sulzhik claims he had been drinking from the can when, nearing the bottom, he got a mouthful of mouse tail and (not surprisingly) immediately lost his lunch. The company has responded publicly by saying that the suit is "nothing more than a shakedown" given that the beverage was left unattended for several hours during which time the critter could have found its way into the can. That, and if the mouse had been bottled, it would have already deteriorated by the time Sulzhik opened the can (um, comforting). We'll leave it to the professionals to stomach the evidence and make a fair judgment.
Of course, you hate to be skeptical of a kid who knows what a rodent-seasoned energy drink tastes like. But then again, this far from the first time a beverage has been at the center of a ridiculous-sounding legal battle. Who could forget Stella Liebeck, the New Mexico woman who infamously sued McDonald's (and won millions) for damage caused from spilling their too-hot coffee on her lap?
If you're thirsty for more bizarre beverage lawsuits, check out the following six cases — some of them certainly don't suffer for lack of amusement.

There's a certain historic symmetry that we mark the 30th anniversary of President Reagan's historic unveiling of his Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) within days of the passing of a man who played a central role in inspiring it. We must take the occasion of celebrating the former to honor the latter: William Van Cleave, an unsung hero of the war for the Free World, and most especially the part of that long and continuing conflict known as the Cold War.
How fitting as well that the same day Mr. Van Cleave died in his Southern California home, the Obama administration was forced publicly to reverse course on its systematic efforts to diminish the direct manifestation of Reagan's SDI program. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel announced on March 15 that the modest array of U.S. missile defenses now in place would be enhanced in the face of a growing threat from the increasingly truculent regime in North Korea. Bill Van Cleave would consider that to be the very least we can do, given Pyongyang's declaration that it is prepared to launch a nuclear attack against us.
More to the point, as one of the nation's most long-standing and steadfast supporters of anti-missile systems and the imperative for their deployment in the most comprehensive, effective and efficient manner possible, Mr. Van Cleave probably would have sharply criticized the modest nature of Team Obama's new initiative. He was the sole critic allowed to testify against the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, and he would have recognized in the administration's abiding determination to limit the size and capability of our defenses in deference to Russian opposition, a throwback to that happily now-abrogated accord.
The man who was one of Reagan's top advisers on national security matters during his successful 1980 campaign for the White House and who served as chairman of the president-elect's Defense Department transition team would likely have faulted the incumbent president for the several obvious inadequacies of the new anti-missile plans. The 14 additional West Coast interceptor missiles will not come online until 2017 — possibly years after the North Koreans achieve real intercontinental ballistic-missile capabilities. It will probably take even longer to put some on the East Coast. The administration's own Europe-based blueprint for defending us, announced after Mr. Obama dismantled one laid on by his predecessor, has been scotched — doubtless, to the Kremlin's delight.
Speaking of the Kremlin, few understood better than Mr. Van Cleave its unchanging character and ambitions. He played an indispensable role in defeating the USSR during the Cold War with his service on what came to be known as "Team B." In 1976, this group of outside experts known for their clear-eyed warnings about the Soviet threat were invited by then-CIA Director George H.W. Bush to provide a second opinion on the advisability of the official (Team A) policy of appeasement known as "detente."
Reagan fully agreed with Team B's findings that this policy was dangerous and used them as his platform in the primaries that year against Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger, and then in the general election four years later against Jimmy Carter. More importantly, he employed the Van Cleavian Team B analysis as the foundation for the strategy for destroying the Soviet Union that he adopted during his first term as president.
Over the years, Mr. Van Cleave contributed mightily to the common defense through his service on various other public- and private-sector commissions and groups, as well. Notably, he was a member of: the American delegation to the U.S.-Soviet Strategic Arms Limitation Talks; the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency's General Advisory Committee; the storied Committee on the Present Danger; the Independent Working Group on Missile Defense; and the advisory board of the Center for Security Policy. Not least, he was also formerly a Marine.
Mr. Van Cleave's most enduring legacy, however, is the cohort of extraordinary national security professionals he recruited, inspired and trained over his decades as a professor of defense and security studies, for many years at the University of Southern California and subsequently at Missouri State University. Among the best known of the alumni of his extraordinary pedagogy are former Deputy National Security Adviser J.D. Crouch, incumbent Air Force Secretary Michael Donley, former Assistant Secretary of State Paula DeSutter, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Keith Payne (who now runs the Van Cleave program in Washington), former National Counterintelligence Executive Michele Van Cleave (Mr. Van Cleave's ex-wife) and former National Space Council Executive Director Brian Dailey.
Few of those whose lives were touched — and inevitably shaped — by Bill Van Cleave will forget his unflagging patriotism, formidable intellect and extraordinary grasp of history. None will forget his ability to evoke in others a shared passion for the philosophy that that patriotism, intellect and understanding of history commanded, which his friend, Ronald Reagan, dubbed "peace through strength." These qualities, and Bill's wry humor and stalwart friendship, will be sorely missed as the nation he loved once again experiments with the doomed and reckless alternative: hoping for peace despite weakness.
Frank J. Gaffney Jr. formerly acted as an assistant secretary of defense under President Reagan. He is president of the Center for Security Policy (SecureFreedom.org), a columnist for The Washington Times and host of the syndicated program Secure Freedom Radio.

I am one of the organizers of the Shakespeare Walla Walla inaugural event -- Dangerous Liaisons -- the fundraiser for the Shakespeare Education Program in local schools. It's coming up quickly -- 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. I'm asking U-B readers directly to purchase a ticket or two to the event, and here's why:
Just last month, actors from Seattle Shakespeare Company spent a full week with local students, immersing them in the world of Shakespeare and teaching them about the Elizabethan court, period dress, dance and vocabulary.
At the end of the week, the actors performed the plays they had talked about for the students, bringing the lessons alive.
The actors and artists from Seattle Shakespeare also work closely with English and drama teachers, helping them make Shakespeare as relevant and vibrant in the classroom as it is on stage.
Your support will ensure this program continues to flourish.
This is going to be a wonderful event -- a great time for a great cause.
It's a pricey ticket -- $200 a person, but a large portion of that fee goes to the Education Program and buys you a ticket to the play, "The Merry Wives of Windsor," which begins Thursday. The rest covers the evening itself.
Guests will be treated royally, wined and dined with a period-inspired menu, and entertained by a Elizabethan-esque fashion show, music and general merriment. Everyone involved is local or has local ties -- models, hair salons, designers and musicians. There are more than 100 volunteers in all.
The Power House Theatre has been transformed from a derelict building, and will be, by Wednesday, an intimate, top-of-the-line theater that will not only be home to Shakespeare, but will house performances of the Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival, the Summer Dance Lab, modern plays and more.
I hope you'll take the opportunity to attend this event -- for the students, for the theater and for the fun of it!
For tickets, please go to www.shakespearewallawalla.com and click on the "Dangerous Liaisons" tab.

While she and Levi are over, Bristol isn't dating anyone new, telling Ellen "It's really hard for me to want to date after the situation I had myself in and I'm not worried about a boyfriend right now."

It's 2014 and time for me to get back into the live music world. A world that I absolutely love but must take time away from every so often just to recharge. The live music world can be quite overwhelming at times. Well, like I said—it's 2014, a new year and time for new memories.
It was a Saturday night and I wanted to hear some live music so to Milkboy Philly I went. Our Griffins was on the bill and that's all I needed to know but of course I would check out Bad Suns and Royal Bangs too. Our Griffins had the opening set of the night and began with "Blood On My Sleeves" off their most recent release Michael Boyd. Oh my, I love that song and being present to hear that song live was a beautifully precious moment. From that moment on it was like I was under Our Griffins musical spell and everything sounded so perfect. Our Griffins is the work of singer-songwriter DJ Brown but of late he's taken his somewhat solo project and given it a full band treatment and those guys are makin' it work. In no way did Our Griffins sound bad before but now there is a feel of a more cohesive band unit and it's awesome.
Saturday's set consisted of many Michael Boyd songs and I do remember hearing "Elenore" from Our Griffins Conversations (EP). Then it came time for the last song and I could hear myself screaming "NOOOO" on the inside. Everything was going so well that I didn't want to see Our Griffins' set end. Our Griffins played "Not Here Entirely" for their last song. It was during that song that I witnessed some real live music memory making magic—DJ Brown in a fit of annoyance violently shook his head knocking his glasses off his face landing them somewhere on the stage (I guess—I lost sight of them) without the slightest disturbance to his intense, awe-inspiring guitar playing. And I thought to myself, "that is some real rock and roll!"
DJ Brown is an impressive singer-songwriter, the band just keeps getting tighter and tighter, and they're honest—no gimmick artists. Needless to say, Our Griffins is destined for music greatness. It's going to be exciting to see where Our Griffins goes from here.
Sorry, after unexpectedly being engulfed by Our Griffins greatness it was hard to concentrate on the other bands that night. Bad Suns and Royal Bangs please forgive me. I'm usually a better music enthusiast and more receptive to new artists.
It looks like Saturday night at Milkboy Philly was all about Our Griffins.

I was looking for this cream in a daytime non SPF version, but they didn't have one so I settled for the SPF 15 cream. I was nervous to try it because I usually have an allergic reaction to SPF in face lotion, but not with this one. This is very gentle and has a nice consistency- I wouldn't call it a cream because it isn't heavy. It is not very moisturizing, but that's not a bad thing since I have oily skin. I actually find it to have mattifying properties. I am not using this for anti-wrinkle since I already use Retin-A but this is a good continuation of that treatment into the day (with the added bonus of just the right amount of moisture).

I have been using this for a over a month now and I can already see a reduction in my fine lines. I use it at night after cleansing and vitamin c serum. You just need a pearl sized amount and it does the job well. After one month, my fine lines are fading. I love this product.

I've used this off and on for years and it is by far the best drugstore product I've found for the little wrinkles on my face. It's about $10 for a tube that lasts a long time. It's non-irritating and non-greasy. The SPF15 is nice too.

I have only been using this product for 2 weeks, and I have noticed a difference in my skin. I am 22 years old and recently noticed the first signs of ageing. Laugh lines and crows feet have finally emerged! I decided to try this product because of the great reviews and the reviews are right!! The laugh lines are going away!!

i heard of this moisturizer once i was on www.xanga.com/ricebunny . Michelle has SUCH a beautiful asian skin - and i�m also (half-)asian. So i listen to every recommendations she gives.
First of all :
I know ... i know i'm too young (i�m 17) to have wrinkles, but I use this lotion as a moisturizer because it really PREVENTS wrinkles (i have a PHOBIE of wrinkles - i�m seriously afraid to get wrinkles !) and makes my skin heal better. Retinol increases cell turnover, which is why it saves me from wrinkles and make my skin radiant.
Best thing :
♥ It speeds healing time if I have a popped blemish on my face (I know, bad me)♥
It's oil-free, too, and doesn't clog my pores. The only thing is that when you fold the metal tube to get the last of it out, the tube cracks and lotion leaks out when you squeeze it. Overall, a great product !
Thank you ricebunny !

First of all, I don't use this as a retinol product, but as a moisturizer. I'm not sure I'd recommend it for that purpose, either.
This is a small package, but you really only use about a pearl-sized amount. I apply morning and night after cleansing and toning, and for moisturizing after an aspirin mask. It absorbs well, leaves skin dewy but not oily, and keeps my skin free from acne and eczema, in addition to the rest of my regimen. Very good stuff.
I find cleansers can be substandard, as they're not on your skin for long, but a good moisturizer is as necessary as it is hard to find. If you're looking for one, I strongly recommend this.

I love this moisturiser. I use it at night. When I first started it applying it regularly I really noticed the difference-my skin tone evened up, some scars/small red marks started fading and my pores looked smaller. A couple of months on and the results are still great. The texture is nice and lightweight and after applying it my pores look smaller and my face looks glowy. It's packaged in a foil type tube which is easy to use and I assume protects the effectiveness of the product.

Ok, I bought this one because it had retinol in it. So far it's really been working. I used it the first night and I woke up with clear pores. I had these little red bumps on my forhead and they were gone after I used it one time! It's great, I'm going to try the stronger version of this. I want to try the Intensive Anti-Wrinkle. I know I'm only 20, but it's always good to prevent, right?

I use this at night after washing my face and it really does absorb quickly, leaving no residue. However, sometimes I feel like it should be a little more moisturizing, but since I have oily skin it isn't that much of a problem. I have not seen any results in terms of wrinkle-combat, but I only have fine lines near my eyes, so I don't expect anything yet. I'm doing this mostly as a preventative. I don't like that it doesn't list percentage retinol, but I've read it is around .2% which is actually pretty good. No breakouts!

About me:
I am a 20-something year old Asian with light-medium skin, I burn easily and I have freckles. I am acne-prone, sensitive, and combination most of the time. I've been a loyal BP user for about 5 years, but I hate having it bleach everything, and I want to prevent zits while also looking proactively into youth-maintenance.
The Product:
Neutrogena HS A-W cream promises to reduce pore size and boost clarity and reduce wrinkles in as little as 2-8 weeks. It claims to contain multi-vitamins and green tea extracts with retinol to deliver these results.
My Opinion:
I like that this cream is packaged in a metal tube, which helps to preserve Retinol efficacy. I am using this in conjunction with Skinceuticals Retinol 0.5, alternate nights. However, I feel that this product is good enough for my age. I does help to even out uneven skintone with regular use (I was using it on and off in October of 2007, but I've been using it consistently for the last 2 weeks), and even moisturizes the skin without being overbearing. My skin isn't oily or anything in the morning.
I believe this product contains like 0.025% retinol or something (don't hold me to that-- I read that online somewhere), so it's definitely not comparable to prescription retinoid products. However, if you are young and looking to start preventing the aging process, I believe this is a good product to start with. Be warned, however, that you MUST (if you aren't already!) wear Sunscreen during the day if you use this product at night.
As far as acne-control, it isn't super amazing, but it does keep things to a minimum, within acceptable range. I find that if I have a zit, the best thing to do is to add a bit extra of this product on (like the size of a matchstick head), rub it in, the cover the spot with vaseline to "seal" it in. Somehow, it works! On normal nights, I apply a large pearl/pea-sized blob of this all over my face (I do the corners of the eyes, but avoid the eye area itself) and that's enough to keep things under control.
I think this was like $16 or something at Wal-Mart for 40g, so it's not terribly expensive (if you're used to spending $6/177 mL of moisturizer though, you'll have to get used to it!). This lasts a surprisingly long time, so I think it's worth it, and I would buy again. I'm looking to try the Intensive version, which I think contains more retinol.

Zoo employees and university students participated in a forum last week on how to improve the lives of zoo animals.
The forum was hosted by the Detroit Zoological Center for Zoo Animal Welfare in partnership with Michigan State University. The daylong discussion focused on issues like how to apply recent farm animal welfare research can be applied to zoo animals.
There were also discussions on how to get zoo visitors to think about animal welfare.
The DZS Director of Animal Welfare Cynthia Bennett told The Daily Tribune that zoos know how to feed and house animals but that they don't know if animals are necessarily thriving just because they're healthy and reproducing.
Forums and programs like this may seem like they've got the animals' best interests in mind, but the truth is that because they are organized and funded by zoos and groups affiliated with zoos, their approach is always going to be what's best for the zoo first and what's best for the animals second or third at best.
Consider a hypothetical situation. What would happen if any the researchers involved with this forum were to find some kind of proof that zoos were inherently and irrevocably damaging to animals, some kind of proof that even they couldn't ignore. What do you think they would do? Issue a recommendation that their respective zoos shut down? Or try to spin the information or obscure it?
Trying to make the lives of zoo animals better can only ever go so far because animals are not meant to be confined in cages for human amusement. Trying to make visitors aware of animal welfare is a fine line to walk for a zoo. At what point does a visitor become too aware of the animals' welfare? At what point does a zoo visitor think about how much better off the animals would be if they weren't locked in cages?
How many high profile news stories do we have to see about zoo animals dying en masse or animals killing their handlers before we realize that confining wild animals in cages for the sake of gawking at them might be bad for all parties involved?
An artificial environment will never meet all the needs of a wild animal. Being forced to stay in close proximity to a species that they've been genetically disposed to fear – humans – while residing in cages and enclosures that are fractions of the space they're used to occupying.
Animals do not exist for our entertainment any more than they exist for our consumption. If you want to improve the lives of animals you should start by boycotting all industries that treat animals as property to be bred, relocated, tortured, confine, and killed when it is convenient for us.

Small cage zoos are not a place to keep animals. Safari type park where the animals get to live in encloseures that closely resemble their own habitate at least give them some standard of life.
When there is a bottom line, read it - for it is the bottom line. Sanctuary's have bottom lines, but, have intent on the front line defense of animal protection - not animal showmanship.
there are some zoos like San Diego Safari Park, that let the animals walk a round at a very big place. The visitors actually take a type of bus to see many of the animals. Not all zoos are alike.
Noted. Thank you.
Was done with this article, originally, but I saw your post, Martha, and had to mention a couple things...
1. You say that: "Animals should not be confined in cages. Period."
Dogs and cats, in addition to wild animals, are routinely placed in crates or 'cages' for transport. Whether it is taking a cat to the vet or moving a mated pair of wolves to new territory, there are times when containers are necessary. You must weigh the pros and the cons. Con: The animal will be uncomfortable for a limited amount of time. Pro: You save the animal's life.
2. You state that: "The argument that it allows people to see animals besides their own companion animals, is a false choice."
This is NOT a standalone argument, and I don't remember seeing anyone use that argument as a reason to place animals in zoos and sanctuaries. What I DID see, was that point being used as one of the side BENEFITS of keeping an animal in a zoo for conservation purposes.
I think all animal lovers would love for our wild friends to return to their natural habitat. What we would NOT like to see is them becoming extinct due to poaching and habitat destruction. Until then, we make the animals as comfortable as possible while we try to stop the aforementioned poaching and destruction, so that one day our CHILDREN (as you suggested) can take trips with their parents to see the animals in their original environments.
Animals should not be confined in cages. Period. The argument that it allows people to see animals besides their own companion animals, is a false choice. Tell your children WHY it is wrong to cage animals, and then settle down for a nice Nat'l Geographic special.
Clara H,
I despise poachers and hunters as much as I despise zoos and circuses. I don't believe that it is ethically acceptable to advocate for a lesser of two evils. It is morally inconsistent and intellectual dishonest to concede the point that animals have to live a life in a cage or a be killed en masse by greedy poachers.
It isn't "vegan lies" to advocate that people respect the lives and habitats of animals. Your comments on my blogs show a lack of forethought or careful consideration of the issues at stake.
What a load of crap you are known to spout vegan lies and now this how are the animals going to live in the wild with poachers and their habitat disappearing or are you going to throw them out of the zoo and let them die. Some animal lover you. There are accredited zoos who care and have breeding programs to bring the animals back from extention . You should stop writing lies and make people angry.
Wild animals need as natural of environment as possible. I can understand if wounded or ailing animals in need of care need to be in safe areas to heal, and sometimes it's at zoos. I don't think zoo keepers are people who don't care about the animals, they need to have that good relations with the animals to care for them. But I also believe that the animals need more freedom than what they have.

Three Democrats and a Republican need tender loving care and a nice soft Barcalounger. And cookies. Several journalists are casting their sympathy votes to President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele as the politicians who endured the worst turmoil this year.
Aw. Honey baby. Tell mama. Since when did the press create a pity-meter among politicos? Well, no matter. It was inevitable.
"Now, we have been critical of Steele, as have many others. But as the chairman of a party that scored the biggest midterm gains in seven decades, it is hard to see how he can possibly have had the worst 2010 of anyone in Washington," counters Powerline's John Hinderaker. "Moreover, given the events of the past year, doesn't it seem obvious that the winner of that award has to be a Democrat?"
He adds, "It's a small thing, of course. But to me, it is one more reminder that the Democrats' cheering section in the D.C. press is not necessarily doing the party any favors. No wonder the Dems are so often out of touch with what mainstream Americans are thinking."
"The last thing we should be spending our time on is if this man likes men. It's so crazy because gay men and women are in the Army now and getting the job done. So, what changes if we know they're gay? For me, it would be like, 'You're gay? OK. Get back to work.' "
(Army Staff Sgt. Cleveland Carr, an infantry soldier with the 101st Airborne Division, Combat Outpost Terra Nova near Kandahar, Afghanistan, to Stars and Stripes)
Little things mean a lot. The new census reapportionment means that President Obama just lost six electoral votes, says Commentary Magazine executive editor Jonathan Tobin. A few stray votes would not have dimmed Mr. Obama's glorious 365-173 margin of victory in 2008. But the "public's repudiation of Obama's policies at the polls this past November shows he will not have as easy a time of it in 2012," Mr. Tobin observes.
"If we tally up the states' new electoral votes based on the 2008 election, it shows that states that voted for Obama lost a net total of six votes, and those that backed John McCain gained the same number. If you look back to the election before that, in which George W. Bush beat John Kerry, although some blue states in 2008 were red in 2004, the new electoral vote totals shows the same difference, a net gain of six for Bush states and a net loss of six for those that went for Kerry," Mr. Tobin figures.
"Big winners" in the reapportionment are Texas with four more seats, and Florida, with two. Washington, Utah, South Carolina, Nevada, Georgia, and Arizona each gained one while New York and Ohio lost two. Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania all lost one seat.
But look out.
"This year's once-in-a-decade scramble to redraw congressional boundaries is likely to be one of the most contentious in history. Given high levels of partisan polarization and the technological ability to identify population distributions far more precisely than ever before, the redistricting cycle will be intense," predicts Fordham University political scientist Costas Panagopoulos.

|Hospitals in England
Severalls Hospital in Colchester, Essex, United Kingdom was a psychiatric hospital built in 1910 to the design of architect Frank Whitmore. It opened in May 1913.
The 300-acre (120 ha) site housed some 2000 patients and was based on the "Echelon plan" - a specific arrangement of wards, offices and services within easy reach of each other by a network of interconnecting corridors. This meant that staff were able to operate around the site without the need to go outside in bad weather. Unlike modern British hospitals, patients in Severalls were separated according to their gender. Villas were constructed around the main hospital building as accommodation blocks between 1910 and 1935. Most of the buildings are in the Queen Anne style, with few architectural embellishments, typical of the Edwardian period. The most ornate buildings are the Administration Building, Larch House and Severalls House (originally the Medical Superintendent's residence).
Psychiatric experiments[edit]
Psychiatrists were free to experiment with new treatments on patients seemingly at will, using practices now considered unsuitable such as electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) and the use of frontal lobotomy. The use of these treatments peaked in the 1950s. In her book Madness in Its Place: Narratives of Severalls Hospital, 1913-1997,[1] Diana Gittins notes that often women were admitted by their own family, sometimes as the result of bearing illegitimate children or because they had been raped. As they would not always (or were unable to) carry out daily tasks, they were considered to be insane and some were even subjected to ECT and lobotomy. A change in management during the 1960s (and likely a change in social acceptance) saw reforms introduced including the creation of art and music therapy programs and the widespread use of drugs and medication.
The hospital closed as a psychiatric hospital in the early 1990s following the closure of other psychiatric institutions. However, a small section remained open until 20 March 1997 for the treatment of elderly patients suffering from the effects of serious stroke, etc., as a temporary building for nearby Colchester General Hospital which was in the process of building an entire new building for these patients. A few of the satellite villas as of 2013 are still operational as research facilities on the edge of the site. This includes "Chestnut Villa" (originally Children's Villa), which provides laboratory services, and "Willow House" (originally Male Acute Ward), and Severalls House (originally the Medical Superintendent's residence). "Rivendell", a more modern building is still in use at the entrance to the site. Apart from Chestnut Villa, all remaining Buildings still in use are owned and run by North Essex Partnership University Foundation Trust (NEPFT).
Since 1997 the remaining structures have changed little. Architecturally, the site remains an excellent example of a specific asylum plan. However, the buildings have suffered greatly from vandalism. In 2005 the main hall was subjected to an arson attack and in 2007 the charred building was demolished for safety reasons. The five boilers were removed from the Central Boiler House in 2007.
In 2008, the sale of the hospital site, including its extensive grounds, collapsed due to the slow-down in the building industry.
In December 2010, the nearby new A12 junction was officially opened. The "Stadium" junction and roundabout are located just to the north of Colchester United F.C.'s Stadium, on land formally known as Cuckoo Farm (used up until the late 1950s/early 1960s as the hospital farm). The opening of this new junction will enable the new link road to be built between "Stadium" roundabout on Axial Way to the Northern Approach Road, just north of Mill Road. The proposed route will pass over the long-demolished Iris House, to the south of Orchard and Eden Villas, through Fernholme Villa before crossing the old Sports Ground and joining the Northern Approach Road. Once built, this will open up the re-development potential for the former hospital site. At present, it is not known which of the existing Hospital buildings will be retained, apart from the Administration Building which is Grade 2 Listed. It is hoped that the main "ranges" and ward blocks will be kept and converted, along with the water tower, which is considered to be an important and historic landmark.
In May 2011 Colchester Borough Council's Planning Committee gave their approval for the erection of 248 new homes. The location is on land currently owned by H.C.A. (formerly English Partnerships) and although is not directly on the site of the main hospital, is recognised as Phase 1 of the redevelopment of the former Severalls Hospital site. It is understood that this first phase is to be sited to the north-east of the Main Hospital, in fields bordering Mill Road and Tower Lane, next to the old Myland Hospital Water Tower.
In late September 2011, as part of the enabling works for the new Northern Approach Road (or NAR) contractors began to clear the vegetation which had been allowed to grow un-checked in the 15 years since the hospital closed. Some large trees were also felled. Blue sheeting covering every opening, every hole in the roof, every broken pane of glass, is in place at "Fernhome" Villa (originally Female Villa). This is due to bats roosting, and this will be monitored before being re-housed to a suitable habitat. Workers have also begun to strip-out "Eden" Villa, built in the 1930s, ready for its demolition, along with Fernholme Villa. In October 2011 huge oak trees were felled and large areas of hedgerows stripped away. A new fence has also been erected, roughly marking out the public footpath which runs from Mill Road to Tower Lane and beyond.
In November 2011, demolition commenced on Fernholme Villa.
In early 2012, Phase 1 "Rosewood" (248 new homes) began in the former Asylum's Farmland to the east of the main Hospital Buildings; with Tower Lane to the Northern Boundary, and the disused Water Tower of the long demolished Myland Hospital for Infectious Diseases off Mill Road to the Eastern corner. "Rosewood Park" marked the start of redevelopment of the former Hospital's land. The street names will be Olympic themed, which has caused bemusement to some local residents and groups, who would have preferred that the street names would instead reflect local history.[citation needed]
In October 2012, the St. Aubyn Centre (CAMHS Unit), was officially opened by Rebecca Adlington. This modern, state-of-the-art facility is located adjacent to Severalls House, in the edge of the Hospital Grounds, just off Boxted Road. This Centre will remain regardless of the redevelopment of the rest of the Hospital Site.
Madness in Its Place: Narratives of Severalls Hospital, 1913-1997[edit]
The book Madness in Its Place: Narratives of Severalls Hospital, 1913-1997 (1998)[1] by Diana Gittins has been the most comprehensive study of this institution to date. The project was initiated in the mid-1990s, by the North East Essex Mental Health Trust, which wanted a social history of the hospital to be written prior to its closure. Joan Busfield, Professor of Sociology at the University of Essex, was a member of the trust and put forward the name of a former PhD student of hers, Diana Gittins. The main reason was that Gittins' background as a social and oral historian was deemed more suitable for this kind of work. Funding was secured by the Trust and the study commenced in May 1995 for a two-year period.[2]
Gittins designed and conducted the study with little interference from Busfield who assumed a supervisory role. The investigation drew upon both qualitative and quantitative material to address areas such as, gender divisions in staff and patients, in-hospital power relations, the patterns of admission and discharge, quality and variety of treatments on offer, and the daily lives and routines of patients and nurses on the wards. Furthermore, it provides an "insider's view" of the de-institutionalisation years and the passage from residential to community-centred care.
The research data in their entirety (interviews, group discussions, photographs, architectural plans, etc.) are currently deposited in ESDS Qualidata, part of the UK Data Archive, at the University of Essex.[3]
Urban exploration[edit]
The site has been of increasing interest to urban explorers who have been known to enter the building without permission, take photographs, most interestingly the mortuary (which still houses the body refrigerators used to store deceased patients) and the imposing water tower (no longer in use). Some medical equipment still remains, such as spot lights, basic appliances and many of the sinks and toilets. Severalls has now been fenced off as it is deemed as dangerous.
The Torchwood episode 'From Out Of the Rain' was not filmed at Severalls as some people have suggested. It may seem like Severalls wood, but the whole of this episode was filmed around Cardiff.[citation needed]

Most of the guide books will tell you to stay alert here and avoid or be cautious on the bridges that head into Le Plateau as they had guards around them and were a great place to get robbed. This was not the case recently we drove over and back during rush hour in the evening and again during the day...no issues.
Keep in mind that this could change at any time due to political issues within the country as things tend to get going in Treichville first and if there is a power black out in the city chances are it is going to happen here. We saw one when we came back from dinner one night.
Check with locals prior to heading in here.

Coming from LA smog is smog but here it is bad. I have never sneezed so much in my life. The pic below is no fake. We came back to town from Grand Bassam and the air was black in front of us at 07:00 from all the diesel exhaust. Emission controls are just not a priority here sadly

Police/Military Checkpoints
After dark, the police and military set up roadblocks throughout the city. They stop virtually all vehicles and "inspect" them before asking for money. Typically one can politely refuse, but it is strongly reccomended to comply with reasonable demands for money if any tension is felt. Never provide the military with your passport unless specifically asked and never exit the vehicle unless ordered.
This tip is a bit tounge in cheek, But it did happen to me, I was staying on the 17th floor, went out at about 1 in the morning to watch a spectactular Thunderstorm, But the catch on the balcony sliding door clicked on after a naked me had gone out!!!, I spent all night on the balcony ,not being able to summon help, A very startled housekeeper let me in about 9am

Illigal Logging
According to goverment statistics 13 million hectares of Virgin Forest were felled during the decades after independence in 1960 to make way for cocoa plantations and farms, Cote d'ivoire is now the worlds leading producer of Cocoa.
However since the civil war broke out in 2002 large areas of the forests are being illegally logged and the already dwindling forests are now being decimated at an alarming rate. Some of these giant hardwoods take between 300/400 years to reach maturity.

Abidjan is as dangereous as Newyork city and as safe as Dubai.
May be the one of the safest city in africa after Accra.
Just do not walk alone after midnight. We were at night clubs till 05:00 am .

I was driven through Adjamé at night and that is definitely one place you do NOT want to be walking alone in the dark! Treichville and even Le Plateau are quite dangerous at night, especially since not all streets have street lights. I walked down a couple of dark streets in Le Plateau after dark.. luckily it was only 7pm and there were still some people on the streets and I was dressed down. Probably wouldn't do that again though.
Walking at night
This is a absolute No NO here ,especialy around the bridges of both Charles de Gaulle and Houphouet-Boigny you will get robbed, never resist as the robbers will not hesitate to stab or shoot you

The Riding Horse Repair Manual - Doug Payne
The Riding Horse Repair Manual by Doug Payne
The Riding Horse Repair Manual
Not the Horse You Want? Create Him from What You Have
by Doug Payne
Doug Payne discusses the many horses out there that express discomfort and/or discontent in a variety of troublesome ways. These are the common problems riders at all levels deal with on a regular basis, such as bucking, rearing, bolting, pulling, grinding teeth, refusing fences, and running out, to name only a very few!
The good news is, many times these behaviors have their root in poor riding and training. How is this a good thing? It means that in most cases, an honest self-assessment of your riding skill set, a list of achievable goals to improve your position and aiding, and a broadened repertoire of solid schooling exercises can give you all the tools you need to "fix" the problem you may be experiencing now, and those you may face in the future.
Doug Payne has made a name for himself in equestrian circles as the "go-to guy" when it comes to finding a way forward with "problem horses." Now he's sharing his tips and techniques for solving some of the most common contact issues, unruly outbursts, and jumping problems riders experience. In THE RIDING HORSE REPAIR MANUAL you'll find causes for problem behavior—from physical issues to "holes" in the horse's education—as well as dozens of safe and professionally tested solutions and step-by-step exercises.

Milwaukee Music Video: See the eye-popping treatment for Dana Coppafeel & SPEAK Easy's latest single
A couple of months ago, local filmmaker Xavier Ruffin released one of the most visually arresting, made-in-Milwaukee music videos of the year: Klassik's partially-animated "Anything" video. Now Ruffin's done it again with a jawdropping treatment for Dana Coppafeel and SPEAK Easy's "One of These Kids." The catchy single, featuring Milwaukee's premiere rapper Prophetic, will appear on "Dana Coppafeel & SPEAK Easy," an EP that'll be released by local label Uni-Fi Records this spring.
A whole lot of "how'd they do that" moments in this video. I won't spoil anything. Just watch (but be forewarned, some f-bombs probably doesn't make it suitable for work). »Read Full Blog Post

Ensuring all people have access to the benefits of local parks and recreation.
True to the very philosophy of public parks and recreation is the idea that all people – no matter the color of their skin, age, income level or ability – has access to programs, facilities, places and spaces that make their lives and communities great.
It is a right, not just a privilege, for people nationwide to have safe, healthful access to parks and recreation. Because of this, people connect with one another and build bonds that last a lifetime. Places transform into destinations with influx of new businesses and local economies flourish. Parks and recreation truly build communities – communities for all.
This philosophy of social equity and access, which is upheld by all public parks and recreation, is the foundation that allows people to benefit from what public parks and recreation provides such as improved health and restorative green space.
Now we must show how essential public parks and recreation are to our society and how parks are the answer to creating viable communities for all. Watch NRPA's President and CEO, Barbara Tulipane, CAE talk about the value of social equity for parks and recreation.
