And although it's rarely a good news if media writes about Aceh and what has happened in Aceh,
I am still proud to be Acehnese!
Fact About Aceh
Aceh is the most west province of Indonesia, Daerah Istimewa Aceh, is 57.365,57 km square. It consists of 119 islands, 35 mountains and 73 main rivers. (Data from Waspada online)
Aceh is rich with natural resources. Both for the cultural and natural perspective. Adventurer will love to explore its rain forest with a chance to spot the tiger, bear and many other inhabitants of Aceh forest. Beaches are beautiful, and many beaches are 'untouched'. (Although there are not many sunbathers seen on the beach, especially after the tsunami.)
Although the infrastructure to support tourism is not so good,
Aceh is enjoyable from the cultural and beautiful scenery point of view.
Those who are interested in history will be likely observing Aceh closely. During the Dutch colonialism in Indonesia, Aceh has already well known as 'stubborn region' that refused to be governed. And the bloody fighting has been done not only by the men. At the early stage of Indonesia history, Acehnese women also involved in the attempt to get rid the colonialism. Cut Nyak Dhien, Cut Meutia and the famous Malahayati who organized widowers to fight against the colonial are among the Acehnese women heroines.
After a long battle history, another chapter of Aceh history still records another dark chapter. In decade of 80s to 90s, special status as 'Military Operational Region' was implemented in Aceh due to dispute between Indonesia government and Free Aceh Movement. Regardless who is right or wrong, the whole situation left many orphans children and widowers. The live of Acehnese filled with poverty, insecurity and depression.
Again, the cry, tears and suffer have not yet ended in Aceh. At the end of 2004, a tidal wave hit Aceh region, took near 200.000 live alone in Aceh and left many homeless people.
There is no more fight that day, all Acehnese are united in the suffering and devastating cry for the loss.
In every hardship there is always a meaning.
Will it be a new history for Aceh? A better one?
The encouraging news about Aceh that there is peace process between Free Aceh Movement and Government of Indonesia. We all hope that there will be peace in this beautiful province. And people can explore Aceh without feeling scared or concern about the security.
The reconstruction in Aceh is still going on.
There are a lot of international NGOs in Aceh to assist the recovery and reconstruction process.
Slowly, I will build my Aceh page and share with you about live in Aceh
Aceh is like a new international village, where you can find contribution from nearly all countries worldwide. The helping hands and genuine contribution from people from the other side of the globe, has brought Aceh to a new stage. From emergency and recovery, Aceh now is moving to development stage. It is encouraging to see development activities is taking place in this province.
Closing Note:
In my Aceh page, I would like to dedicate this page for my relatives who were taken by the tidal waves. May peace with all of you.
And I would like to share the information for VT-ers who (probably) are interested to go to Aceh, I hope the information will be useful for you.
- In a nutshell:It's very interesting place to get an interesting experience

HI Rinjani, Was wondering if volunteers are still needed to help in tsunami-hit areas? What would be a good place to start enquiring once I'm in Banda Aceh? Tq!
Looks like you've got enough material here for a book! I wonder, though - how is the scuba diving on Aceh?
Slamat H U T Dielle Rinjani,... enjoy your day, greetzzz RoyJava

About Us
We've always said that every wine tells a story. The same can be said about every winery.
Foursight Wines is a small, family owned and operated winery in the cool, coastal region of Anderson Valley. Founded in 2006 by Bill and Nancy Charles - long-time winegrowers - together with daughter Kristy Charles and husband Joseph Webb, we craft small lots of estate-grown Pinot Noir, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc each year.
Our name - Foursight Wines - signifies both the number of generations of our family to live and work on this one piece of land in Anderson Valley, and the aim of our efforts: to look forward and provide for the future generations of our family.
Each and every day you will find one of us working in the vineyard, tasting our wines, or tending to the day-to-day tasks of the business. We believe that good wine is made in the vineyard, and, in the best years, no intervention at all is needed to produce the highest-quality, small-lot wines.
We are a true family business, with many years of combined experience in winemaking, viticulture, wine marketing, wine PR and wine sales. Each of us contributes something to the whole, and in return we get to live and work in this beautiful place while preserving a part of our family heritage. Welcome to our dream.

Hi everybody,
my question is the following: Let $(M^n,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold and $e_1,\ldots,e_n$ be an orthonomal frame in a point. Assume, that we now the sectional curvatures of all planes, spanned by these vectors, i.e. we know the components $R_{ijij}$ of the curvature tensor.
Is it then possible to calculate all other components $R_{ijkl}$?
The problem is, that if I want, e.g. to calculate $R_{ijik}$ by the polarization identity, I need to know the sectional curvature spanned by $e_1,e_j+e_k$ which I assume to be unknown.
Is it then possible to calculate, or at least to estimate the sectional curvature from above by $R_{ijij}$, $R_{jkjk}$ and $R_{ikik}$?

Lake Buena Vista, Fla. -- First baseman Paul Konerko has signed a three-year contract worth $37.5 million with the Chicago White Sox.
Konerko has spent the last 12 seasons with the White Sox and hit .312 with 39 home runs and 11 runs batted in in 149 games last year. For his 14-year major-league career -- he also played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds -- Konerko has a .280 batting average with 365 home runs and 1,156 RBI.
He has been selected to the American League All-Star team four times, including last season.
Lake Buena Vista, Fla. -- Contract negotiations between the Chicago White Sox and first baseman Paul Konerko are at an impasse, General Manager Kenny Williams said Tuesday.
Williams said initial optimism that the Sox could quickly re-sign the slugging free agent have dimmed at baseball's annual winter meetings in Florida, the Chicago Tribune reported.
"At this point we have no choice" but to explore other options, Williams told the newspaper. "All I can say is we've got meetings with other guys' representatives (Tuesday) with the idea in mind (to) get a deal done."
Chicago -- The Chicago White Sox said Tuesday they have offered salary arbitration to slugging free agent first baseman Paul Konerko
The move means Konerko, a Type A free agent, would likely get a hefty raise from his current $12 million salary if he accepts arbitration, which is unlikely.
Instead, he's expected to test the free agent market and the Chisox would be compensated with a high draft pick if he signs elsewhere.
Konerko finished fifth in the 2010 American League Most Valuable Player voting after a 2010 season that saw him hit .312 with 39 home runs and 111 RBI.
The Sox also extended arbitration to reliever J.J. Putz but declined to do so for catcher A.J. Pierzynski.
Chicago -- Paul Konerko broke a tie with a fourth-inning grand slam homer Thursday, propelling the Chicago White Sox to an 8-2 victory over Boston.
Chicago won for the seventh time in eight games and gave John Danks a triumph in his final start of the season. Danks (15-11) gave up five hits and two runs in six innings. The 15 wins are the most he has recorded in his four-year career.
The score was knotted at 2-2 when Konerko delivered his 39th homer of the season.
Dayan Viciedo added a two-run shot in the fifth to finish the scoring.
Jon Lester (19-9) missed out on a chance for a 20-win season and left the game after four innings. He gave up eight runs on nine hits to take the loss. Lester had won his previous six starts.
Chicago -- Paul Konerko's two-run double in the third inning gave Chicago the lead and the White Sox went on to dispatch the Los Angeles Angels 5-2.
Brent Lillibridge chipped in with a two-run single in the sixth to back a strong start from Freddy Garcia (9-3). The right-hander held the Angels to one unearned run on five hits over six innings, boosting the White Sox to their third straight win over Los Angeles.
Bobby Jenks collected his 19th save in a game that was delayed by 2 hours, 20 minutes by rain.
Chicago vaulted over Minnesota into second place in the American League Central, one game behind the Detroit Tigers.
Los Angeles starter Joe Saunders (6-9) was rocked for 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Chicago, Sept. 22: Orlando Cabrera, Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel and Matt Tolbert homered Tuesday to give Minnesota an 8-6 win over the Chicago White Sox.
The Twins remained 2 1/2 games behind Detroit in the divisional race. The Tigers beat Cleveland earlier Tuesday.
Paul Konerko, Gordon Beckham and Alex Rios homered for the White Sox, who have lost six of their last seven games. John Danks (12-10) suffered the loss after he surrendered seven runs on eight hits over six innings.
Jesse Crain (7-4), who pitched 1 1/3 scoreless relief innings, earned the win while Joe Nathan pitched a perfect ninth for his 43rd save of the season.

Seattle, Sept. 16: Mark Kotsay and A.J. Pierzynski had two RBI apiece Tuesday to lead the Chicago White Sox past the Seattle Mariners 6-3.
Pierzynski singled in the eventual winning run in the seventh inning and Paul Konerko added another RBI single to make it 5-3.
Freddy Garcia (2-2) got the win with three runs on seven hits and a walk in six innings. Bobby Jenks picked up his 29th save.
Ken Griffey Jr. had a solo home run for the Mariners, who have lost seven of their last nine. Shawn Kelly (4-3) took the loss in relief of Ian Snell, who lasted six innings and gave up two runs on five hits.
Chicago, Sept. 8 Jack Cust hit a three-run homer in a five-run first inning Tuesday to boost the Oakland Athletics to an 11-3 thrashing of the Chicago White Sox.
Ryan Sweeney was 4-for-6 with three runs scored and two RBI. Scott Hairston and Kurt Suzuki each had two RBI, Rajai Davis had three hits, three runs and an RBI, and Mark Ellis added a solo homer for Oakland.
Brett Tomko (4-3) got the win after allowing three runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Carlos Torres (1-1), coming off his first big league win in his previous start, didn't make it out of the first inning after surrendering five runs on four hits.
Paul Konerko and Mark Kotsay each homered for Chicago.
Chicago -- Paul Konerko drove in three runs Saturday, propelling the Chicago White Sox to a 5-1 win over the Boston Red Sox.
He hit a two-run single with one out in the bottom of the first and a solo homer in the eighth.
Mark Kotsay's lone hit was a solo homer and Chris Getz also drove in a run for the White Sox, who have won four in a row following a five-game losing streak.
Winner Gavin Floyd (11-9) surrendered a run and just three hits in eight innings with no walks and 11 strikeouts.
Boston's run scored on Jason Bay's 31st homer this season leading off the top of the eighth.
The losing pitcher was starter Tim Wakefield (11-4).
Boston has lost three of its last four games.
Chicago, Aug. 19: Three doubles and two RBI by Billy Butler helped carry the Kansas City Royals past the Chicago White Sox 5-4 Tuesday.
Butler, who is second in the majors with 41 doubles this season, drove in the tying run in the fifth inning and then scored the eventual game-winning run on a two-out single by Alberto Callaspo.
Joe Buck added a two-run homer for the Royals and Gil Meche (6-9) got the win despite allowing four runs on eight hits and five walks in five innings.
Joakim Soria tallied his 20th save.

We need a Change...
Considering "Hope and Change have failed, we need to find our next President from those running against Mr Obama. Even liberal commentators, such as Maureen Dowd are turning against the President as they recognize his lack of ability...

But if you listen to the President, we're living in the best of times...
It's not only the just-released University of Michigan consumer confidence report and February retail sales on Thursday (3/13/2015) that surprised economists and investors with another dose of underwhelming news. Overall, U.S. economic data have been falling short of prognosticators' expectations by the most in six years.
The Bloomberg ECO U.S. Surprise Index, which measures whether data beat or miss forecasts, fell to the lowest since 2009, when the nation was in the deepest recession since the Great Depression.
We need a change, and it can't come too soon!

President Obama Job Approval Reuters:

Reverend Franklin Graham said he did not know whether President Barack Obama dislikes America, as "America's Mayor" Rudy Giuliani stated last week, but Graham said it is true that Obama "defends Islam and chastises Christians," denies the "religious freedoms" of those who oppose abortion and gay marriage, and added that our nation is "morally crumbling within" and that "we have turned our back on God."

There will never be any apology because the empire they are building is grounded on deception. What was good is now bad. What was true is now false. Tell the people what they want to hear, give them the things they need to occupy their minds with simple thoughts, and they will not question the relevance or motivation of your judgement. With just a few handouts and strokes of their egos, the deceived masses will become the useful idiots every elitist ruling class needs to obtain absolute power and wealth.

It's clearly time to apologize—for every activist and journalist who bought into the simplistic, self-serving "hands up, don't shoot" narrative and broadcast it far and wide based on false testimony; who reflexively dismissed Wilson's side of the story as preposterous and unbelievable; who doggedly upheld a wider narrative that slanders police officers across the country as murderous racists.
Don't apologize because someone shamed you into it, or because they're trying to sell you through advice for how to avoid debacles like this in the future. Do it because if you want to hold others accountable for their action, you need to first make sure you are accountable for your own.
So it's time for an apology. And the line should be forming up, appropriately, on the left.

Headed our way!
MORE than 300 patients a day are having operations cancelled as the British National Health Service runs out of beds, official figures show.
Surgeons were forced to delay planned, "elective" procedures 3,113 times in the first two weeks of this month.
This is an average of 311 each working day and a rise of almost 50% on the same period two years ago. The numbers are up 16% in the last year alone.
Another 161 urgent operations — where life, limb or organs were at risk — were also cancelled in the first half of this month, up from 138 last year.
The disclosure comes amid mounting concern about the growing signs of strain in the health service. David Cameron has ordered his two most trusted "fixers" to take charge of winter planning as he seeks to ensure that there is no pre-election crisis in the NHS, Labour's trump card.

The ascendant GOP congressional majority needs to do two things: 1. Be honest and 2. Liberate the locked-in U.S. economy. Start opening every valve the Obama Democrats turned shut. That's the real gridlock. Voters didn't do this just so Washington could work. Voters did this in the expectation that Washington will now enable them to work. There's a difference. This is a bet that the class of 2014 gets it.
But what will Obama do?
Posted 632 days ago.
For decades after World War II, the U.S. economy had an annual average growth rate of 3.3%. Here are the growth rates for each year of the Obama presidency (World Bank data):
2009: -2.8%; 2010: 2.5%; 2011: 1.8%; 2012: 2.8%; 2013: 1.9%
You preside over that performance, you lose. The 2014 growth uptick arrived too late to save the Democrats. The economy was a spent political force for them.
The Obama economic policy has had essentially two prongs: 1) the 2009 stimulus bill's Keynesian Multiplier (the government spends, and new jobs appear); and 2) let the Federal Reserve figure out the rest.
More change to come...
Posted 632 days ago.
Montana, West Virginia and South Dakota in the GOP column, Republicans need to pick up just three seats in the following states: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana and North Carolina.
Republicans have a cushion. Five of those states currently lean toward the GOP, poll averages show, while North Carolina is still a toss-up. They also are closing the gap in New Hampshire. But the party may need to pick up additional seats if it loses Georgia, Kansas (if the independent conferences with Democrats) or Kentucky.
It would be great if we saw a change to 58-42 and then have Manchin and Angus King switch to Republican. We need that change!

Republicans have expanded their advantage in the final days of the midterm campaign and now hold an 11-point lead among likely voters on the question of which party should control Congress, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Annenberg survey finds.
Some 52% of likely voters in the survey said they wanted the election to produce a Republican-led Congress, while 41% favored Democratic control.
We need this badly...we need a change!

What may have happened is this: Over the summer Democrats used their money advantage to savage Republican opponents. When spending got equalized in September, Republicans' numbers rose.
So Republicans retain big leads to pick up three open seats in states carried by Mitt Romney —West Virginia, Montana and South Dakota. Republican nominees have moved ahead of three Democratic incumbents in Romney states (Alaska, Arkansas, and Louisiana) and in two target states carried by President Obama (Colorado and Iowa).
Only in North Carolina, which Romney narrowly carried, has the Republican not yet overtaken the incumbent Democrat Sen. Kay Hagan — and her edge is narrowing in the most recent polls.
Looks like a change...we can only hope!

Well, it's a beginning:
The shape of the political landscape suggests Republicans will gain House seats from the 234 they won in 2012, and possibly exceed the 242 seats they won in 2010 — more than the party has won in any election since 1946.

He sees the need for a change...do you?
Famed chef Emeril Lagasse says that it's becoming all but impossible to be a successful restaurateur in America today. The government just gets in the way too much. Lagasse specifically singled out the current president's policies.
"And then you add all the Obama nonsense to what it's become in the last several years. I'm just saying the way that, you know… the government should stay out of things. [...] Pretty soon, they're going to wipe a lot of the middle restaurateurs and restaurant cooks. [...] If it continues, then watch: you're going to have high-end, and you're going to have fast food, and you're going to have chain restaurants."

The letters also suggest that Alinsky, who died in 1972, have a deeper influence on Clinton's political views than previously known.
Haven't we had enough of Alinsky?

Previously unpublished correspondence between Hillary Clinton and the late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky reveal new details about her relationship with the controversial Chicago activist and shed light on her ideological development.
Clinton met with Alinsky several times in 1968 while writing a Wellesley college thesis about his theory of community organizing.
Clinton's relationship with Alinsky, and her support for his philosophy, continued after she entered Yale law school in 1969, two letters show....continued...

And nobody asked permission to send the illegals there...
LYNN, Mass. is a municipality on the brink. Key department officials say a recent influx of illegal immigrant children and families in the city is stressing to a breaking point, almost every service from schooling to trash collection to healthcare.
"We have been aware of the unaccompanied children issue for quite a while, and we were able to absorb a lot of these children early on," said Lynn Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy. "But now it's gotten to the point where the school system is overwhelmed, our health department is overwhelmed, the city's budget is being sustainably altered in order of accommodate all of these admissions in the school department."
And, it's against the law...we need a change asap!

Wow...could it be?
As Republicans contemplate the possible size of their November victory, outlier races may get interesting. Scott Brown, a few weeks ago considered certain to lose, may well win in New Hampshire. Most folks would not have thought that Republican Terri Land had a chance in a blue state like Michigan, but she continues to run close to Peters in the race. Al Franken also cannot pull away in his re-election fight, and all the polls show that race tightening.
Surely the trophy in any general election is for one party to knock off a legislative leader of the other party. Speaker Foley lost in 1994 in a relatively swing Washington district. Democrat Floor Leader Tom Daschle lost in 2004 in a very red South Dakota against Thune, a very good Republican candidate. Even Harry Reid faced a fight in Nevada, something of a swing state still, in 2010.

President Obama on Friday said social media and the nightly news are to blame for the sense that "the world is falling apart."
"I can see why a lot of folks are troubled," Obama told a group of donors gathered at a Democratic National Committee barbecue in Purchase, N.Y.
But the president said that current foreign policy crises across the world are not comparable to the challenges the U.S. faced during the Cold War. Acknowledging "the barbarity" of Islamist militants and Russia "reasserting the notion that might means right," Obama, though, dismissed the notion that he was facing unprecedented challenges.
So the media helps get him elected and hides the scandals and protects him while he ruins our country and now he blames them...now, maybe they'll know how Mr. Bush feels.
Oh we so need a change and now maybe the media will actually tell the truth!

Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) (AFP) - King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has warned that the West will be the next target of the jihadists sweeping through Syria and Iraq, unless there is "rapid" action.
"If we ignore them, I am sure they will reach Europe in a month and America in another month," he said in remarks quoted on Saturday by Asharq al-Awsat daily and Saudi-backed Al-Arabiya television station.
"Terrorism knows no border and its danger could affect several countries outside the Middle East," said the king.
And the oath of office to uphold our laws, the Constitution and protect us means nothing...we need a change!

Americans receiving food stamps were caught selling and bartering their benefits online for art, housing and cash, according to a new federal report that investigates fraud in the nation's largest nutrition support program.
Complicating the situation is the fact states around the country are having trouble tracking and prosecuting the crimes because their enforcement budgets have been slashed despite the rapidly-rising number of food stamp recipients, according to the Government Accountability Office report.
Under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, 47 million people have been awarded $76 billion in benefits. State agencies are responsible for addressing SNAP recipient fraud under the guidance and monitoring of the Food and Nutrition Service.
This has to be stopped...anyone see a reason to change?

Actress Hilarie Burton attend the 'Peace, Love And Misunderstanding' New York Screening at the Museum of Modern Art on June 4, 2012 in New York City.
Posted in Hilarie Burton/Peyton Sawyer
Promo Picture of Hilarie Burton in Castle Episode
TV Line: Castle Scoop: Hilarie Burton Excited to Tackle a 'Radically Different' Kind of Role
Hilarie Burton is set to guest-star on Castle at midseason, and the actress tells me the gig has her excited for multiple reasons — one being that she is "definitely a fan" of ABC's Monday-night cop drama.
Burton also points out that her Castle episode will play host to a One Tree Hill reunion of sorts, seeing as Tom Wright — who directed several episodes of the CW sudser — will be calling the shots as she plays Kay Cappuccio, a Kardashian-like reality star who is famous for… well, no discernible reason.
"He is one of my favorite One Tree Hill directors, so I'm really looking forward to working with him again," Burton effuses. "And this time playing someone so radically different!"
E!: One Tree Hill Scoop: Hilarie Burton Reveals Why Her Character Won't Be There in the Very End
We wish we could report that last night, Hilarie Burton told us at the Breaking Dawn premiere that she would be returning to One Tree Hill for the series finale, but alas, she still will be a no-show.
However, we do have the next best thing…
We asked Burton (who attended the premiere with beau Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, Weeds) where she thinks Peyton Scott would be now since driving off into the sunset with her hubby Lucas and their newborn baby.
"She's probably super pregnant with four or five," she tells us. "She's having a Lucas Scott little, I'm sure!"
That's an intense scenario, and Morgan definitely agreed. "She's pregnant with four?" he asks his lady. "Or she's already had three and is pregnant with the fourth?"
"I mean, maybe. They started really young. She's southern," Burton reasons. And now we have our answer to why Peyton isn't coming back to Tree Hill with her man. She's stuck in bed with quadruplets.
"Four at the same time is a lot. That's like Octomom s–t," Morgan laughs. "It's gotta be big enough that she's got to be laid up in bed," Burton adds.
There you have it, OTH fans. Peyton is too pregnant to move, and that is why she won't be back in Tree Hill anytime soon. Wah wahhh…

Police: 11-year-old brings grenade to school for show and tell
The mother of an 11-year-old Connecticut boy has been arrested after police say her son brought a grenade to school
Associated Press
STRATFORD, Conn. — The mother of an 11-year-old Connecticut boy has been arrested after police say her son brought a grenade to school for a show and tell related to World War II lessons.
Lisa Miguel of Stratford was charged with risk of injury to a minor, reckless endangerment and illegal possession of an explosive.
Stratford Academy was placed on lockdown Friday. Students were sent to the back of the school until a bomb squad determined the grenade was a simulator used for training.
The 44-year-old Miguel didn't immediately return a message Tuesday seeking comment. Police say she told them the grenade had been a gift from her father, a war veteran, who had told her it was a dud.
State Police say simulator grenades can combust and cause injuries within a 20-foot radius.

Brave New World
by Aldous Huxley
Brave New World Theme of Identity
(Click the themes infographic to download.)
Brave New World explores the classic conflict between the individual and society. Remember when your kindergarten teacher taught you about how everyone is unique? Well, forget that lesson today, because in this story, personal identity has been sacrificed for the sake of a common good, and the results are not very pretty. A form of biological reproduction produces certain types of humans in batches of 96 identical copies. A social "caste" structure separates the citizens into five groups, the result being that any given individual is little more than a faceless, color-coded member of a larger group. Certain characters in the novel grow uncomfortable with this idea, are downright disgusted by it, or for one reason or another find that they just don't fit the mold. They seek to understand their individuality through isolation, self-exploration, and of course, self-flagellation.
Questions About Identity
- Think about the 96 identical Bokanovsky twins (and yes, we know, "twin" isn't the right word, but don't look at us, look at Huxley). Is there any difference at all between, say, number 47 and number 62?
- How do Bernard, Helmholtz, and John each seek to define themselves? Do any of them succeed?
- All three of these men became aware of their individuality because they were somehow in isolation from the rest of their peers. What does solitude have to do with individuality?
- In "Symbols, Imagery, Allegory" we discussed animal imagery in Brave New World, and the way that citizens have been dehumanized. But at the end of the day, are they more like people or animals?
Chew on This
Women in Brave New World are defined only by their function as sexual objects. This is the extent of every female's identity.
It is only by killing himself that John is able to maintain his identity as a human being instead of an animal.

Able to use on sensitive skin
By Pepper
from San Francisco, CA
About Me Beauty Conscious, Budget Conscious
Comments about Resist Retinol Serum - 1 oz:
This was my first purchase (with the 2% BHA) from PC, and my first try with a retinol product. I have sensitive, fair skin, but also a very oily t-zone and lots of blockheads. I really didn't believe I could use a retinol, but figured I could return if I needed to.The texture is thick, and easy to manipulate over skin. The bottle is great -air tight, and one full pump covers my face and neck. I first tried it once a week, and after no break outs, or reaction, am now using three times a week at night. I've had no burning sensation, but feel a little bit of heat in my most sensitive areas (cheeks and chin). I have not yet tried it after the BHA, but I alternate the two products.It wont give you fast results, but if you have sensitive skin, I recommend trying this. I didn't plan to use it during the day, and the texture would be too oily for my t-zone. Overall, I can't believe I'm even able to use a retinol, and am so grateful for PC!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My skin never looked better
By Gigi 331
from Texas
About Me Beauty Conscious
How I use it: I use it at night after BHA lotion. I let my face dry after the lotion. About 5 mins. Then use Retinol Serum.Loves: I love the way it evened out my skin tone. Redhead red! Fine lines and wrinkles appear better. Skin lost it 'crepe'y appearance. Love the bottle! Reassured it is fresh and not contaminated by fingers. Also makes sure I use the right amount. Dislikes: doesn't seem to absorb into. Skin. Kind of sits on top. I wind up removing it when I sleep! :( Bottle doesn't hold much for the price.

Wonderful! Buying my 2nd bottle.
By Lori
from Wisconsin
About Me Beauty Conscious, Minimalist
This retinol serum is perfect for my skin. I use it at night after the resist cleanser and toner. It works wonders on my fine lines and makes my skin soft and smooth. I can defiantly see and feel a difference (not so good) in the morning if I skip using it before bed. I love the results so much that I thought I'd try the clinical retinol. I'm very happy that I only purchased the trial size bottle because that didn't work out so well for me, it irritated my skin making it tight, sore, red and made my skin peel. Maybe I used too much at once or something? So for now I'm sticking with this awesome product and I'm purchasing my 2nd bottle of resist retinol serum and when that's gone I'll buy another. Oh, and I can't forget the bonus...Paula's products are not tested on animals (as I'm sure you already know) Thank you Paula.

Wonderful - effective
By Milee
from Sarasota, FL
About Me Minimalist
I have sensitive, oily skin that's prone to breakouts, so finding effective products that control the oil but that don't burn or make me break out can be a challenge. This serum is wonderful - does not burn, increase oiliness or make me break out. I've noticed my fine lines decreasing, pores shrinking and skin tone evening out, which is amazing. When my skin is in it's normal (oily) state I use the Resist Ultra Light Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum plus the 1% Retinol Clinical Treatment. But if my skin is irritated or dehydrated I substitute this Resist Retinol Serum instead because it's nonirritating, soothing and still effective.If you have oily skin and avoid thick, greasy products, you might first think this will cause you a problem. It's not greasy at all but it is a very thick gel that when you first apply it, sits on top of the skin. The first time I used it I hated it... for the first 5 minutes. Then I realized it had completely sunk in leaving no residue and my skin feeling wonderful. So be patient.

Great "anytime" retinol serum
By Michael S.
from Boston, MA
About Me Skin Care Professional
I've been using this brand's 1% Clinical Retinol Treatment since November and am still completely happy with its performance, but I wanted to try working in an alternative retinol treatment for AM use and for my eye area. The 1% is amazing, but even at my tolerance level I wasn't keen to start using it in the AM or near my eyes daily.Turns out that this product, too, is a keeper. Within two days of using it around my eyes, one of my coworkers commented on how bright and smooth that skin looked. This serum helps maintain that "just applied my 1% retinol" glow :)Overall...+ Great moderate-strength retinol for daily use+ Slippery texture makes for easy application, yet absorbs in no time+ Delivers retinol benefits to more sensitive areas with lower probability of unwanted side effects+ Blends nicely with booster products such as C15 and the Hyaluronic Acid Booster- As with other retinol products, take care to monitor skin's reaction if first-time user- Initial texture may be off-putting to combination or oily skin, but give it a chance- AM retinol use can dramatically increase photosensitivity (speaking from personal experience, here! Turned pink from an hour walk with a generous coating of SPF 30). Consider using a higher SPF product or reapplying if exposed to the sun for any length of time

I can see results
By annlouise
from glenwood springs, co
I use this product daily & a CE Feurilic acid daily. I have tried over 20 new products in the last 2 years and now I get so many compliments on my skin. At my age ( 68), of course it doesn't get rid of wrinkles, but it does make them less visible and my skin looks smooth and it glows. I am very happy that I can stop searching for a product that I feel really makes a difference on my skin. Everyone's skin responds differently to products but with my skin, I do add a moisturizer also in dry areas.

It works!! But...
By Kat the Gym Rat
from Temecula, CA
I initially only got a sample of this product and LOVED the results after one use, so I bought the full size bottle. I still love the results, I apply it at night and literally overnight my fine lines disappear some of my acne rolling scars plump up, its amazing! However, it breaks me out and I don't think it's necessarily this product in specific. It's all products including retinol. I believe my family just has a bad reaction to it. Major bummer, but for those who know they can work with retinol I highly recommend this!

Great product!
By JD
from Pleasanton, CA
I am very skeptical when putting product in my face. I got this as a birch box sample and first put it in my chest. It made my chest feel so smooth and I felt it slightly diminished lines immediately. I decided to try it on my face. It feels heavy at first, but is so silky. And NO breakouts. I love the glow I get from this product. My lines aren't so noticible and my face is smoother than ever. This will be in my daily regimen

Want to love it, but not the texture
By Kk
from Canada
Simply too much silicone. I don't mind a bit because it creates a silky feel and lightweight texture, but this is way overboard. I used the product and think I got some results and would love to purchase it again but I just can't stand he texture.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Guys,
I recently had an issue with the checkout page which errored when trying to access it. I resolved this by reinstalling woo commerce all together, however now that i have it installed the static bar that is usually at the top with the cart button, my account etc is vanished, how to i add this back, as it makes it very difficult for potential shoppers to go to their cart or account. Thanks in advance

Back Pain Health Center
Back Problems: Proper Lifting
No one is immune to having a back injury. Whether you have a strong back or have hurt your back before, it is well worth it to:
- Stop yourself before casually picking up a light or heavy load.
- Plan in your mind for the best way to lift what's in front of you. This could include enlisting help from one or more people.
- Lift and move slowly and carefully.
The time you take to use the right lifting mechanics is far less than the days, weeks, or months it can take to heal from a back injury.

Another from The Wave. Because I've been entirely uncreative as of late.
Great shot
Wow... I'd like to know what this phenomenon is called... I'm really curious how such fine lines could be formed just by water...
where was this taken?
Excellent piece. Congrats.
I love the colors you chose for this. Very orignial.
jawdropping formation!
it actually looks like a wave.... you get the same kind of feeling... if you see what i mean
This is stunning.
omg..that's a rock! can u send me the original photo? pleeeeeze
You're asking me if I can freely give you the high-resolution image, if I am not mistaken? No, I don't give images away. I'll explain why, however. My camera was more than $2,000. The lens I took this with was roughly $1,300. Then the gas to get to this place, a hotel room, and a six-mile hike, carrying much camera equipment with me.
Oh dear...total misunderstanding...the photo which you posted was a black and white right...so all I'am asking is the 'colour' version of it..(well post it on DA was what I meant.) Unless the photo originally looks like that. And i appreciate your dedication towards photography, keep up the good work :d
Oh, sorry. I greatly misinterpreted you, and I apologize for coming across as curt. (I've had image-theft before, and people ask for full-sizes, so it gets a little irritating, as you could probably imagine).
As far as the original, the color was actually kind of messed up, due to cloud coverage. I just could not get the color right, at all, but I loved the composition and details. Thus, I will probably never post the original, as it simply looks terrible.

Nah, its okay, I understand how you feel. argh..i hate cloud coverage..(btw cloud coverage is when the cloud covers the sun right?)
This is really nice, I especially like the b/w effect it really adds a nice touch to the image.
Thank you! I didn't really feel as if it was best-viewed in color, here. I wanted more of an "abstract," and I felt as if this blue-black effect worked.
What is it exactly? Grats anyways
Hah, it's a rock formation in Southern-Utah/Northern-Arizona. The wind has eroded the rock as to expose the layers of deposition. Quite amazing to see.
I thought this was going to win and I think it should have IMO. congrats for coming 3rd anyway mate!
I was *really* hoping for first place, but I still feel pretty good about third. I've had a surprisingly large amount of people tell me they thought I should have won, so I guess that's somewhat consoling.
Thank you so much! And for the supplementary feature, as well. You rule!
This should be an optical illusion. The wave kinda moves when you move your eyes about the picture. Very cool.
Hah. Thank you. What I feared about the competition, really, was exactly that -- until you view it large, it's hard to even know what's going on, as there's just so much detail.
This should have gotten first
Thanks, man. I wish it would have, but I'm still happy having placed at all.
I knew this was gonna be a winner when I saw it...congrats!

Judge moves Dennehy lawsuit from Houston to Waco
HOUSTON -- A judge Monday granted Baylor University's request to have a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the father of slain Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy moved from Houston to Waco, the university's home.
State District Judge Bruce Oakley, a Baylor graduate, said he was moving the case "in the interest of justice" and to keep from inconveniencing potential witnesses.
Attorneys for defendants Drayton McLane, chairman of Baylor's Board of Regents, school president Robert Sloan, former athletic director Tom Stanton and former basketball coach Dave Bliss were among those present at a more than hour-long hearing. Defense attorneys argued the case should be moved to Waco because McLane, owner of baseball's Houston Astros, is not a permanent resident of Houston and Harris County. McLane is the lone defendant with ties to Harris County.
"Harris County, Texas, has got absolutely nothing to do with the facts and circumstances of this litigation," said attorney Stephen Dillard, who represented Sloan at the hearing. "McLennan County has everything to do with the facts and circumstances of this litigation."
Oakley rejected the argument that McLane, who leases an apartment in Houston, hadn't established a residence in the city where his team is based, but the judge accepted a second contention that holding the trial in Houston would inconvenience 65 witnesses, more than 50 of them from McLennan County, where Waco is the county seat.
"I think it would be quite burdensome for a number of those parties," the judge said, referring to the witnesses who live in Waco. "I am concerned about the convenience to the other defendants and witnesses should (McLane) be eliminated from the case."
"It makes it an away game instead of a home game," said Richard Laminack, lawyer for Patrick Dennehy Sr., father of the slain player, who filed the suit in August. "We have to go play on the defendant's home court."
Laminack said he believed a fair trial was possible in Waco but described Baylor as "a big, huge, powerful force in Waco, particularly in the legal community."
McLane's attorney, Wayne Fisher, said the decision was "no surprise to me," adding that McLane had no connection "to the unfortunate thing that happened to this young man."
The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, alleges Dennehy was attempting to expose wrongdoing within the university's basketball program when "violent threats" were made against him leading up to his slaying.
Dennehy, 21, was missing about six weeks before his body was found July 25 near a gravel pit southeast of Waco. An autopsy determined he had been shot twice in the head.
Dennehy played two seasons for the New Mexico Lobos before transferring to Baylor in the spring of 2002.
His former teammate, Carlton Dotson, has said he is innocent. He remains jailed in Waco without bond after his arrest and extradition from his home state of Maryland.
Laminack contends Dennehy was killed by someone other than Dotson, but said Monday he couldn't give specifics. He said he has tried to indirectly inform law enforcement officials about what he has learned through private investigators and would like state authorities to pursue the findings.
In his lawsuit, Dennehy Sr. says his son became the target of violent threats after saying he might expose wrongdoing in the Baylor men's basketball program. The suit says the younger Dennehy was "lured to his death" by another player but does not identify the player.
Bliss resigned Aug. 8 after school investigators said he provided improper tuition payments for Dennehy and another player. A week later, assistant coach Abar Rouse gave university officials and the NCAA tapes of secretly recorded conversations in which Bliss told players to lie to investigators and say Dennehy paid his tuition by dealing drugs.
The elder Dennehy had little to do with his son until about four years ago when the pair attempted to rekindle their relationship, according to Dennehy's attorneys.

A bright table lamp with a multi-colored base in an exquisite glass stacking design.
A cheery table lamp in soft colors that's complemented by an elegant stacked glass design. A deep pink lamp shade adds a fun touch. While a clear base completes the design for a chic look.
Shop all Regency Hill
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Very pretty & colorful for a preteen girls bedroom.
i love the lamps for the bedroom i purchased as the color is hard to find but i knew lampsplus woul;d have them, as ive orderd them in a similair look before.
This is a heavy lamp for it's size, which is nice because it is less likely to tip over. It is mostly good for decoration and not primary light source because of the pink shade.
Excelent lamp
I love this lamp except for the Orchid lamp shade as I thought the color online looked pink which I really wanted. Will have to find pink shades elsewhere.
This is a well made lamp and the base is super-pretty with the multi-colored stacked glass. However, the shade is not a deep pink, it's a very bright screaming purple.
Unless you love purple, you'd better order a different color! I'm keeping the lamp, but I'm definitely going to replace the gaudy shade.
Higher quality than I expected for the price. However, the "bright pink lamp shade", is exactly as it looks online. Not pink at all. Maybe more like purple/magenta. A little disappointed with that, but it's also a high quality satin, so I'll work with it. Really good value!

Last week was spent obsessed with Gaza. In the end, nothing changed. A war was fought without an Israeli ground assault but with massive air and rocket attacks on both sides. Israel did not have the appetite and perhaps the power to crush Hamas. Hamas did not have the power to compel Israel to change its policies but wanted to achieve a symbolic victory against Israel. Both decided that continued fighting made little sense and allowed the Americans and Egyptians to bless a settlement. Everyone from Iran to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood played a role, and then the curtain on this act went down. It will come up again. It was not trivial for those who lived through the conflict, but in the end it changed little.
In this context, focusing on Catalonian elections would seem frivolous, but it is the nature of geopolitics that the quiet and odd may have more significance in the long run than the events that carry noisy headlines.
Catalonia is a region in northeastern Spain. Its capital, Barcelona, is the second-largest city in Spain and the country's industrial and commercial hub. Catalonia is also a region that for decades has had a substantial independence movement seeking to break away from the rest of Spain.
In a regional election held Sunday, the movement for independence remained strong but also became more complex. The regional president, Artur Mas, had called early elections as a way of measuring support for a referendum on secession. Mas' party actually lost 12 seats in the election, though another independence-oriented but more left-wing party doubled its seats. Together, the pro-independence parties increased their share by one seat and have the necessary two-thirds majority to force a non-binding referendum.

Last season, a female pairing brought international media
attention to the colony. Their chick successfully fledged
last September and they were due back next year.
Department of Conservation ranger Lyndon Perriman said this
year the two females were first-time breeders and they were
the fourth female-female pairing in the colony's history.
As happened last year, the egg the pair incubated was
fertilised by a male albatross but he was no longer in the
Female-female pairings were nothing new within bird
populations, Mr Perriman said.
A Hawaiian study of northern hemisphere albatrosses showed
about one third of pairs were female-female.
So far, it had been a "bumper" breeding season at Taiaroa
Head with 23 chicks surviving and one still hatching.
If all 24 survived, it would be the second-highest number of
chicks the colony had seen, Mr Perriman said.
Seven new pairs had bred this season, up from the usual one
or two, which was tied into the increased numbers of
albatross fledging about eight years ago.
"I hope this is going to become more of the norm."

Editor: Newly elected Congressman Ron DeSantis, R-Ponte Vedra Beach, chose a strange way to show his sympathy for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
His very first vote was to deny thousands of people the emergency funds needed to rebuild their lives, after being devastated by a natural disaster. He goes on to compare them to people who max out their credit cards, and to say that Congress needs to cut spending first and then vote for those emergency funds.

Web Resources that Help You Identify Scams
We particularly recommend Absolute Write's article on poetry contest scams and their Bewares and Background Check forum for discussions of questionable agents and publishers.
On Entering Your Poems in Competition
Kurt Heintz advises poets on the kinds of online contests worth entering.
"ST Literary Agency - writers' break, or just crooked?"
Firstwriter.com advises writers to think carefully before signing with ST Literary Agency. ST asks you to provide a $129 "Admin Fee" when you sign up. Other areas of concern:
- ST is not affiliated with an official industry association such as the Association of Authors' Representatives
- Few well-established agencies advertise much, since they already receive plenty of manuscripts. ST, however, advertises aggressively
- Most agencies cultivate a specialty, and reject manuscripts that fall outside it. ST, however, is willing to accept most any manuscript.
This caution appeared in Firstwriter's August 2004 newsletter. Subscribe for free at:
Vanity Publishing Expert Johnathon Clifford's Site
British poet Johnathon Clifford has spent many years investigating literary scams. His archived website features vanity contest warning signs and related advice.
Warnings and Cautions
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America website maintains lists of dishonest contests and literary agencies, plus tips to detect a scam:
Wocky Jivvy: Poems of Shame
Brave and as yet unsuccessful attempts to write a poem that The National Library of Poetry won't accept. From "Dawn of a New Eve":
Now he offers me dark fruit;
A piece of pie for my bloodroot.
Thick serpent slithers through my verse;
Is what he seeks inside my purse?
'Oh Eve, I ssssavor what you wrote!'
Now he's coiled around my throat...
WritersWeekly Warnings
Names publishers and organizations that writers have had disputes with.
Writing.org: Poetry Scams?
"The good news: You're a winner.
The bad news: It's costing you fifty bucks...
For a struggling poet, it can be painful to admit that a letter from a poetry contest or publisher is nothing more than a sales hustle. But what's worse: being honest with yourself or being the victim of a company that exploits the vanity of aspiring poets?"
