Give a book. Open a door.
Books of Their Own is a program that provides small libraries of children's books to low-income parents and their children.
Because having books at home fuels children's reading habits and school readiness.
Even a small collection of books promotes parent-to-child reading, gives children the chance to select their own "just-right" books, and instills a family culture of learning.
Yet 61 percent of families living in poverty do not have a single book in their homes, compared to dozens, if not hundreds, of children's books owned by the families of college-educated parents.
We give children some of their very first books.
To level the playing field, Literacy Partners provides our students with a small library of at least 10 books for each of their children. For many of the families, the books are the first they have owned.
Thanks to our generous supporters.
We began this project with the generous support of Courtney Corleto and Lee Eastman, Literacy Partners board members, Liz Perl, Literacy Partners board member and executive vice president/chief marketing officer of Simon & Schuster, and Jonathan Yaged, president of Macmillan Children's Publishing Group.
HarperCollins, Macmillan Publishers, and Simon & Schuster have made generous contributions.
Donate children's books to help make a difference.
More than 75 individuals have donated over $11,000 to sustain this important work. You can join them in supporting this program by either donating high-quality new or gently used books, or target your contribution on our Donate page to Books of Their Own.
To donate books, please contact the Development Office at 646-237-0146, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can help us equip our students with the books they need to get their children off to an early start on reading.

A heart-stopping story of lies, brutality and fear.
British girl Megan Stephens tells the true story of how an idyllic Mediterranean holiday turned into an unimaginable nightmare when she was tricked into becoming a victim of human trafficking and held captive for six years by deception, threats and violence.
While on holiday with her mother at a popular Mediterranean coastal resort, Megan fell in love.
Just 14 years old, naive and vulnerable, she had no reason to suspect that the man who said he loved her would commit the ultimate betrayal of her trust.
When her mother returned to England, Megan stayed with Jak, who said he would find her a job as a waitress and promised they would be together forever.
But when Megan travelled to the city with Jak, his attitude quickly changed and instead of finding her work as a waitress, he allowed her to be raped and then sold her to a human trafficker.
Abandoned by Jak but still unable to accept that everything he'd told her had been a lie, Megan was coerced by threats and violence into working as a prostitute in private homes and brothels. Then the trafficker threatened her mother's life and it was Megan's turn to lie: sending her mother the staged photographs that had been taken of her apparently working as a waitress in a cafe, she told her she was happy.
Too frightened and bewildered to trust or reach out to anyone, Megan remained locked in a world of brutality and abuse for six years.
In the end, there only seemed to be one way out. Megan's powerful story reveals the devastating realities of human trafficking and the fear that imprisons its victims more effectively than any cage could ever do.

If your aim is to put on some muscular size, and therefore want to find out how to gain muscle mass, then you should know that the process of gaining muscle is simple, but it takes work, time and dedication.
The basic principles of muscle building are simple to understand, but it does require one to have a good understanding of the various elements involved in the process. And to be able to implement and properly comply with a good muscle building program to get impressive results.
The Fundamentals Of Gaining Muscle
The main pillars to gain muscle are proper nutrition and resistance training. Most of the things that you'll do to gain muscle will revolve around these two key components. Also, you may need to include a cardio exercise routine and some supplementation with your program in accordance with your circumstances and goals to get optimum results.
" You gain muscle mass by routinely training with resistance (lifting weights) and consuming the right nutrition for muscle building "
Most men and women can gain muscle mass if they follow a suitable program that comprise of a well-structured nutrition and training program for building muscle that works. If you want to successfully build muscle and improve your body composition you need to implement and stick to the right course of action that will produce the desired outcome.
The following are the various components of gaining muscle mass that all muscle building programs have to address.
Progressive Overload
If you want to gain muscle you have to lift weights that are relatively heavy to break down existing muscles, which will rebuild and grow a bit bigger and stronger when they are given enough time to recover after the workout.
The process for increasing the size of a muscle is to induce a bit of damage to the muscle by lifting heavy weights, then you have to give the muscle enough time to rebuild and repair itself (do not work it again for a certain amount of time) and become a bit bigger and stronger than it was before.
However, this tearing and rebuilding process cannot be done just once or twice to make you become stronger and more muscular. The key to getting significantly bigger muscles naturally is to stick to a long term training routine and keep increasing the amount of resistance and/or workload you are putting on the muscle each time it's ready for work again.
This is called progressive overload and it's where the magic of gaining muscle mass happens. No matter what you do, the type of program that you use or the type of gym equipment you workout with, if progressive overload doesn't happen you will not get bigger muscle.
So think about getting bigger muscles by training with more resistance progressively from the time you begin to workout up until you build up the amount of muscle mass that you want through a number of workout sessions.
Basically, building muscle is about pushing to gain strength. When you consistently push for more challenging resistance, the stronger you'll become and the more muscle you'll gain.
more strength + progressive overload = more muscle mass
"You Can't Gain Muscle Mass Fast By Sticking With One level Of Resistance For Too Long"
You'll not get bigger muscles on your body if you just stick to one level of resistance throughout all your workout sessions.
The reason is your body adapts rather quickly to a certain size of weight when you train, so you'll need to add more weights in order to build more muscle. The faster that you progress to lifting heavier weights, the faster you'll gain more muscles. But you may not always be able to add weights. Sometimes you'll have to do something else to make progressive overload happen such as increasing reps.
Proper Technique And Form
Although consistently increasing resistance and workload is necessary to gain muscle mass, you have to progress to more weights properly. There are a number of other elements involved in weight training that's part of the strength gain and muscle building process that you also must pay attention to if you want to succeed.
In order to maintain balance in the development of your body, properly stimulate all potential muscle fibers and prevent injury to yourself, you have to focus on using correct technique and form at all times when weight training.
So when you start any weight training program keep in mind that proper technique and form is equally important as the size of the weights you are lifting to build muscle.
Exercise To Gain Muscle
As we learned above, resistance is necessary to create stress on the muscles to induce a bit of damage for growth to happen. Resistance is any force that tends to oppose or retard motion. There are different categories and types of resistance exercises. Lifting weights is absolutely the best category of resistance exercise to build your muscles.
Bodyweight exercises such as pushups and pullups are also resistance exercises you can use to gain some muscle mass when you are newly starting out, but progressing the resistance to get stronger and gain a significant amount of muscle mass is limited with these exercises.
You are able to progress to much higher levels of resistance better with weight training.
There are also numerous types of weight lifting exercises used for building muscle that can be either compound or isolation exercises. Compound exercises are the best for building muscle mass when you are newly starting out because they grow muscles in multiple body parts. And isolation exercises are used to shape up specific body parts to sculpt the body shape that you are after.
Your muscle building program should tell you which type of weight lifting exercises to do, when to perform them, number of reps, sets per exercise etc. When all these variables are structured properly in a program and you comply well with the instructions of your program, it should result in good muscle gains overtime.
"The Squat and Deadlift are popular compound exercises used to build muscle mass"
Proper Nutrition Is Crucial To Gain Muscle
Your body cannot get stronger and develop in size if you do not eat well. Food is essential for your body to grow, develop strength and get enough energy to perform intense exercises.
"The combination of a diet rich in high-quality protein and a great strength-training program is the oldest, best, and only non-pharmaceutical way to reach that goal". Says MensHealth Lou Schuler.
Therefore, a solid nutrition plan is also a very important requirement for gaining muscle mass. In fact, if your body is not getting the right type of nutrition it needs, then all your efforts in the gym could be futile. So you must make sure to find out what is the right nutrition plan for your body type and combine that with your workout routine.
To build muscle you are going to want to make sure that you're eating meals that include the right types and amount of nutrients for muscle gain such as lean proteins, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. A calorie surplus is a must for building muscle, so you have to find your calorie maintenance level and create a surplus.
Supplements To Gain Mass
Supplements may be used with a muscle building program to help supply essential muscle building compounds that may not be obtained through your nutrition. This helps boost muscle growth and accelerate the muscle building process.
Cardio During A Muscle Building Program
Cardio exercises such as running and jogging should also be included with a muscle building program accordingly to help your body burn fat.
Different people need to use cardio in accordance with their individual circumstances and goals. Your cardio routine should be regulated by specific conditions that pertain to you such as your body type and the pace at which you are gaining muscle mass.
The above highlights the basic information with regards to muscle building for anyone who want to know how to gain muscle mass. There are different professional programs designed with different methodology that can be used to gain muscle mass, but all muscle building programs have to address these key requirements for building a muscular body.

What is this project all about?
Conspiracy theories! Are they true? Or might they be just a lie which settled in with the society just to entertain it? According to Romain Gary´s quotation, Got will use paper instead of water for the next flash flood. But what does he exactly mean? Some claim that people know what Gary means when Vito´s story is known. Others claim that Vito´s story is a conspiracy. And some others will ask themselves: Who is Vito?
Vito got his ticket of leave. One night he meets the pretty
journalist Anne Sophie who
who gets attacked violently by two strangers the same night! At
first, Vito stays back and tries to look away because he still is
on probation. As the whole situation seems so escalate, he
intervenes. Anne Sophie hands over a USB-Stick on to him. She asks
Vito to hand the stick over to the one wating at an address she
told him, punctually! As he wants to call 911, she keeps him from
doing it! He has no idea in what he was implicated, yet….
Suddenly several people seem to have it in for Vito! A footrace for
his life begins!
- An exciting, profound story full of action with love, drama, joy
and wisdom of life
- Each character has his own special background
- A powerful complot
- The urge to never give up and always go on
- Trilogy
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
The goal is to make a film which makes the audience think after watching and which stays in mind.
It is also a goal to divert the audience from their daily routine and offer a movie full of action with depths and heights. The film shall fade out the daily problems and worries while watching.
"A good film is not to reflect the daily routine. It should
always be a little more awful or a little more beautiful, but it
should never be like a mirror!" - quotation by director of this
movie – Roberto Puzzo
It is another goal to establish the film internationally. After finishing the film it will be dubbed in English.
The target audience are people who can cope with tension, surprise, drama, humour, depth, and, of course, action all at once.
Who doesn´t have a problem to cry at the one moment and begin laughing at the next one and tensely cling to one´s chair at the moment after; these are the people we count to our target audience.
Why would you support this project?
Primarily, you don´t only support us, but you also support 82 actors, 74 of them professionals with an enclosed apprenticeship and partly years of experience in this business. As ourselves they are incredibly looking forward to the project and the final result! They all do believe in the project and we, too, are convinced to produce a German action thriller like it has never been there before.
To do this we get sponsered more than 20 places to shoot so we are
already supported in one way.
We interviewed some actors who play the bigger featured parts and
leading parts, why they support our project and give their time for
this. More about this you can see in our video.
Everyone who takes part in our project is involved from the bottom
of his heart and all his passion and not because of the money; just
like we are. This is an important factor for the film´s
What is still missing is the technique which supplies the film with
the needed clarity. In spite of being produced for cinema the film
is a social project – we as artists have to support each other to
make the impossible possible together.
With your money you would help to put a film in action which is a
action thriller produced in German and which has never been there
before in Germany.
We are dependent on your support to put our project in action so
you can watch a qualitative action film with profundity on
This film will be the first part of a trilogy. We need 30,000€ for this first part. We are sure to be able to afford anything needed for the second and the third part ourselves – thanks to you and your help and support for putting the first part of the trilogy in action.
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
Primarily the money will be spent on equipment like e.g. cameras, lighting, sound, etc. Secondly we need the money for further places to shoot for showing a genuine setting and we also need it for costumes and stage props. With these 30,000 € we can afford all these things which are necessary for a high-quality and authentic action thriller so we can begin shooting. With every Euro more we can at least refund the actors´ travel expenses and there could be pizza for everyone every single day of the shoot. After this we might be able to think about other issues for the post production like cutting, color grading, sound track, etc.
Some might surely ask: How will they be able to schoot an action
thriller with 30,000 €?
On the one hand the script makes this managable. On the other hand we put our most recent cine film -"Ein Wochenende bei Tommy" (A weekend at Tommy´s) – in action without any budget; just like the teaser about the history of Vito (look at the video). You can be excited what a masterpiece we will be able to produce with 30,000€.
Who are the people behind the project?
This project is made by:
- Roberto Puzzo (producer, director, script author, fight choreographer and actor)
- In-Ja Ackermann (distributor, storyboard, producer and actor)
- Rosanna Puzzo (producer, recording director, organizer,
make-up artist)
- Fighting choreographer a.k.a Nurlan Asmankulov and Serge Seguin
(Kampfsport-Muenchen.de [Kampfsport, engl. Martial arts])
More than 20 restaurants, firms, apartment owners who allow us to
shoot for free at their rooms
82 actors, 74 of them professional actors
Our cooperation partner: Movietheater Zwiesel

Border with Haiti blocked
After the Haitian authorities ordered a ban on 23 of the most common Dominican exports, traders and truckers on the Dominican side have unilaterally blockaded the Dominican border with Haiti. While the Haitians have banned the 23 products and others from entering, they have left their borders open for Haitians to enter the DR taking cargo and passengers. In response, Dominican traders and truckers are stopping Haitians on foot or vehicles for entering via the regular border crossings. Even Haitians with visas and passports are being prevented from entering across the normal border posts.
Haiti has restricted the 23 banned consumer and construction products to sea and air imports only.
The weekly Monday bi-national market day is not being held today, Monday 12 October 2015 in protest at the ban on the export of Dominican products, which has been in effect since 1 October 2015.
The Center for Export and Investments (CEI-RD) director Jean Alain Rodriguez said the Haitian ban was unsustainable.
Rodriguez said that despite Haiti's prolonged ban on the entry of poultry and eggs from the Dominican Republic, the country is now selling more of those products to Haiti than ever.

Phenological responses to climate change vary among taxa and across trophic levels. This can lead to a mismatch between the life cycles of ecologically interrelated populations (e.g. predators and prey), with negative consequences for population dynamics of some of the interacting species. Here we provide, to our knowledge, the first evidence that climate change might disrupt the association between the life cycles of the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus), a migratory brood parasitic bird, and its hosts. We investigated changes in timing of spring arrival of the cuckoo and its hosts throughout Europe over six decades, and found that short-distance, but not long-distance, migratory hosts have advanced their arrival more than the cuckoo. Hence, cuckoos may keep track of phenological changes of long-distance, but not short-distance migrant hosts, with potential consequences for breeding of both cuckoo and hosts. The mismatch to some of the important hosts may contribute to the decline of cuckoo populations and explain some of the observed local changes in parasitism rates of migratory hosts.
1. Introduction
Climate change has affected the annual timing of biological events such as leafing and flowering, and animal reproduction (e.g. Parmesan & Yohe 2003). Migratory birds breeding at temperate latitudes have advanced their migration and breeding timing as a response to a generalized advancement of spring caused by climate change (Dunn 2004; Lehikoinen et al. 2004).
Phenological responses to climate change vary across species (Menzel et al. 2006; Rubolini et al. 2007), potentially owing to several reasons. First, the extent of phenotypic plasticity in specific activities (e.g. migration) in response to climatic signals can vary interspecifically. Second, response to climate change in a particular activity may be constrained by the timing of other activities. For example, anticipation of bird spring migration may be constrained by the timing of moult in wintering quarters (Gordo 2007). Moreover, differences in genetic variance in endogenous programmes governing phenophases may affect their microevolutionary change rate (Pulido 2007). Thus, phenological responses to climate change may affect ecosystem functioning by differentially influencing annual routines of ecologically interacting populations.
The ecological consequences of phenological divergence in response to climate have been mostly investigated in food webs, among primary producers and consumers or at higher trophic levels (Visser & Both 2005; Both et al. 2009). Examples of differential response to climate changes disrupting ecological relationships come from bird studies on predator–prey or competitive interactions (Both & Visser 2001; Ahola et al. 2007). Possibly as a consequence of increasing phenological mismatch with their prey, populations of some predators have declined (Both et al. 2006; Møller et al. 2008).
Differential phenological responses to climate change are similarly likely to interfere with other ecological relationships such as brood parasite–host interactions (Brooks & Hoberg 2007). Obligate brood parasites rely on their hosts to complete their life cycle (Davies 2000). Brood parasites may not be able to track host phenological changes either because of their slower rates of microevolution or because of constraints on phenological phenotypic plasticity.
We investigate how a differential phenological response to climate change by the cuckoo and its hosts may lead to a phenological mismatch. The cuckoo is an obligate brood parasite of more than 100 European passerine species (Davies 2000). Females lay a single egg in each host nest, and the chick ejects host eggs. Successful parasitism results in host clutch failure, with host parents caring for the parasite. Like several of their hosts, cuckoos are long-distance migrants wintering in sub-Saharan Africa. However, other hosts are residents or migrate over shorter distances, wintering in Europe or North Africa (Cramp 1998; Davies 2000).
Although an advancement in spring migration timing has occurred among most European birds, there is a considerable interspecific variation, which is partly explained by migratory strategy, since short-distance migrants (SDM) have advanced more than long-distance migrants (LDM) (Rubolini et al. 2007). This could be owing to, for example, more strict endogenous control of migration schedules or time constraints by competing activities (e.g. moult) during wintering in LDM (Pulido 2007).
We analyse annual rates of change in spring arrival dates of the cuckoo and 40 migratory hosts. We predicted that cuckoos have advanced migration timing less than SDM, but not LDM hosts because cuckoos are LDM, potentially resulting in increased mismatching in arrival at the breeding areas relative to SDM hosts.
2. Material and methods
We collated both published and unpublished data on changes in first arrival dates (FAD) of the cuckoo and its hosts from 20 European sites (1947–2007) (see also electronic supplementary material for tests of publication bias). The 340 time series considered started on average in 1964 (7.7 years s.d.), ended in 2002 (2.8 s.d.) and included data for 37.0 (9.28 s.d.) years on average. Changes in FAD were expressed as the slope (in d yr−1) of the linear regression of arrival date on year. FAD, rather than mean/median arrival dates (MAD), were chosen because they are the most abundant available data on bird migration phenology (Lehikoinen et al. 2004). However, FAD and MAD are positively correlated (see electronic supplementary material). We considered 'suitable' cuckoo host species (n = 42) or a subset of 28 'main' hosts (see electronic supplementary material).
3. Results
Rates of advancement of cuckoo and host FAD (figure 1) yield an estimated anticipation (in days) of 5.3 for the cuckoo, 14.6 for SDM and 6.0 for LDM, over a period of 40 years (approximately corresponding to the mean duration of the phenological time series). For each species and site, we computed the difference in change in FAD between the cuckoo and its hosts and the mean across sites was computed for each host (table S1 in the electronic supplementary material). The mean of these values was larger than 0 for SDM (one-sample t-tests; suitable hosts: mean (s.e.m.) = 0.205 d yr−1 (0.026), t15 = 7.76, p < 0.001; main hosts: 0.211 (0.026), t11 = 7.96, p < 0.001), but not for LDM (suitable hosts: −0.003 (0.025), t25 = −0.11, p = 0.913; main hosts: 0.001 (0.024), t15 = 0.06, p = 0.957). Thus, SDM, but not LDM hosts have advanced their arrival more than cuckoos. The difference in advancement relative to the cuckoo was larger for SDM than LDM hosts (independent samples t-tests; suitable hosts: 0.208 (0.038), t40 = 5.45, p < 0.001; main hosts: 0.209 (0.036), t26 = 5.84, p < 0.001).
A linear mixed model (see electronic supplementary material) with site and species as random effects showed a significant difference in advancement rates between the cuckoo and SDM-suitable hosts (difference between marginal means = 0.218 (0.082); post hoc test: p = 0.018) but not LDM-suitable hosts (difference = 0.012 (0.080); p = 0.879), with SDM advancing more than LDM hosts (difference = 0.205 (0.034); p < 0.001; overall effect: F2,20.7 = 18.89, p < 0.001). In this model, the rate of change in arrival dates declined with the year of start (slope = −0.013 (0.005), t = −2.69, p = 0.011) and number of years (slope = −0.008 (0.004), t = −2.14, p = 0.037) of the phenological time series. Non-significant interactions (p ≥ 0.148) with species category (cuckoo, SDM or LDM) were removed from the model. This implies that advancement in FAD was larger in recent years for all species, confirming previous findings on MAD (Rubolini et al. 2007). The same model applied to main hosts showed similar differences between cuckoo and hosts (cuckoo versus SDM hosts, p = 0.023; LDM hosts, p = 0.800; overall effect: F2,17.3 = 13.77, p < 0.001).
The above analyses gave qualitatively similar results when run on the subset of hosts whose populations have declined at least as much as the cuckoo (see electronic supplementary material). Thus, the results were not confounded by the effect of population trends on FAD estimates. In addition, when mean rates of change in FAD of hosts within sites were compared with the cuckoo rate of change, SDM hosts were again found to have advanced more than cuckoos (paired t-tests; SDM: suitable hosts: t13 = 5.32, p < 0.001; main hosts: t13 = 5.33, p < 0.001; LDM: suitable hosts: t19 = −0.19, p = 0.852; main hosts: t18 = 0.02, p = 0.982).
4. Discussion
Cuckoos are not keeping track of phenological changes in migration of all their hosts, since SDM but not LDM hosts have advanced their arrivals more than the cuckoo. This difference in the relative shift of arrival is in the predicted direction because LDM, including the cuckoo, have advanced their arrival less than SDM (Lehikoinen et al. 2004; present study).
Migration dates positively predict laying dates across species (see electronic supplementary material), and species where migration dates have advanced more have also experienced a larger anticipation of breeding (Ahola et al. 2004). In addition, cuckoo and host migration dates largely overlap (Cramp 1998). Furthermore, breeding dates of several European birds have advanced during the last decades (Dunn 2004). Thus, cuckoos may be missing an increasing proportion of breeding opportunities because of an increasing delay in their arrival relative to SDM hosts. Cuckoos might compensate for increasing mismatch by shifting to long-distance migratory hosts. For example, the reed warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus), a main LDM cuckoo host, has experienced a 2.4-fold increase in parasitism rate during 1972–1982 compared with the previous 32 years, while parasitism rates in five important SDM and/or resident hosts (Prunella modularis, Anthus pratensis, Carduelis cannabina, Motacilla alba, Erithacus rubecula) have approximately halved (Brooke & Davies 1987). However, such host shifts may not be general and vary geographically, according to, for example composition of hosts' community.
Cuckoos have experienced a 'small' decline in Europe (BirdLife International 2004). Interestingly, however, the number of host species that declined less than the cuckoo is larger than expected by chance (binomial test, suitable SDM or LDM hosts: both p < 0.022; main SDM hosts: p = 0.039; main LDM hosts: p = 0.070). If the cuckoo and its hosts are similarly sensitive to the phenomena (unrelated to parasitism) that cause a generalized decline in migratory species abundance, the larger decline in cuckoo populations may result from the additive effect of differential phenological shifts relative to some hosts.
The consequences of differential phenological shifts for cuckoo population dynamics are difficult to predict, as they depend on several factors. First, the proportion of cuckoos parasitizing resident, SDM or LDM host species is determined by host population size in combination with host-specific parasitism rates. However, host population sizes are only roughly known for several European regions and host-specific parasitism rates vary geographically (Davies 2000). Second, differential shifts may have complex effects on availability of host second clutches depending on their timing relative to the cuckoo laying period. Third, several hosts are currently undergoing changes in population size, with trends differing among species and geographically (BirdLife International 2004). Fourth, the impact of phenological change in host migration will depend on timing of host arrival relative to cuckoos. Finally, specialization of cuckoo 'races' ('gentes'; Davies 2000) on host species may exacerbate the consequences of phenological mismatching by hindering the ability of cuckoos to shift to hosts to which they are less mismatched.
Phenological mismatching also has potential consequences for host population dynamics. While several hosts have low rates of parasitism, which is therefore unlikely to markedly affect their populations, parasitism rates on some hosts are more than 5 per cent and locally up to more than 50 per cent (Davies 2000). Depending on phenological shifts relative to the cuckoo, these hosts may suffer increased parasitism, with negative effects on their populations.
Microevolutionary consequences of differential phenological shifts between cuckoos and their hosts are also expected. Host shifts may select for earlier migration and breeding, particularly among the most parasitized hosts. On the other hand, variation in the relative abundance of hosts may affect cuckoo population structure, in terms of relative frequency of gentes, and may even drive to extinction the gentes that are specialized on hosts that are increasingly mismatched to the cuckoo.
In conclusion, this study provides evidence that climate change may be affecting ecological interactions and coevolutionary dynamics between brood parasites and their hosts.

Write a ReviewAt first I got a sample size to try it out and it surprised me that even with sheer coverage this base just perfects the skin. Then got a full size when they launched the new colors since birch 1.5 suits me better than the lighter shade. My skin is oily so this makes me a little shiny by the end of the day but I still love it because is so weightless. Plus the SPF 30 is pretty handy!
I have very dry skin and more so in the winter. This product does exactly like it says, covers lightly and moisturizes. With a lot of the make-up products I had been using I would use a moisturizer and then apply the makeup and some times I would have to remove it from my forehead because it looked too flaky. With Bareminerals Complexion Rescue I can just apply and go. If you have dry skin you will be glad you tried this.
This foundation is great. I only wish it had a little more coverage. I love how it goes on just like putting on moisturizer. Feels great on!
I have tried a hefty variety of tinted moisturizers/SPF BB creams--drugstore and high end--and the Bare Minerals Tinted Hydrating Gel is, for me, a good one. I have fair, pink toned skin, and I like the color Birch as it is more neutral than pink and plenty light enough for my complexion. There is some evening of skin tone, but not a lot of coverage. I don't experience oiliness or sheeny-ness from this formula. In fact, I need to use moisturizer beneath it. My skin must be really dry! This product does not contain silicones, important for me since my pores will clog if you so much as look at them crooked. Cosmetically, I don't get a lot from this product, nor do I get much of a moisture boost. So its role is consigned to a quick application before early morning walks in the less sunny times of the year.
This is one of my favorite products. It goes on smoothly and gives light coverage all day...just evens out and hydrates my skin without being caky. Not too heavy. I am 64 years old and like a light coverage plus need the hydrate for dry skin.
This is a great daily tinted moisturizer. Perfect for everyday.
The foundation is lightweight but I need more coverage so that's why I only give it 3 stars. I have acne and it doesn't cover well enough. To me it's more like a BB cream.
Love this! Just the right amount of coverage, and a light, natural feel.
I have been using bare minerals complexion rescue since it came out several yrs ago! On my 2nd tube, really lasts. I would highly recommend it. Complete coverage with light texture & spf.
I love bareMinerals hydrating gel. I use it as make up over my normal moisturizer and concealer. My skin tone is light, but I use Suede. It adds just the right color to my face.

Scotland's Women Cricketers swap bats for batons for the Queen's Baton Relay
Seven of Scotland's women cricketers are swapping their bats for a royal baton, as they take part in the Queen's Baton Relay for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The women - who play for Scotland's international side and the U17 squad - will run with the baton in different areas of the country throughout June and July, ahead of the big event.
The women were also present today (Monday) at the first day of the Cricket National Schools Finals Week at Stirling County Cricket Club. The Finals, taking place in Stirling and Perth this week, will see 100s of school children competing in matches from across the country.
The female cricketers taking part in the Commonwealth Games Queen's Baton Relay include:
Kari Carswell (age 31) is coach of the Scotland Women and was nominated by Stirling Cricket Club for services to cricket coaching and development on a regional and national basis. Kari was previously Captain of Scotland Women and will be running in Riverside, Stirling on 6th July.
Kirstie Gordon (16) plays for the Scotland Women team and was nominated by PE Teacher and Head Coach at Huntly for her commitment to sport and for junior coaching in the local community. She will run with the baton in Huntly on 2nd July.
Liz Priddle (20) plays for Scotland Women and was nominated by a family member for excellence in cricket and for enthusiasm for coaching junior cricket in the Moray area. She will be running in her home village of Lhanbryde, Moray on 3rd July.
Zoe Conway (18) plays for the Scotland Women team and was nominated by a family member for excellence in cricket and enthusiasm for coaching juniors at her club. She is anticipated to run in the Perth & Kinross area early July.
Abbi Aitken (23) Abbi was nominated by fellow player, Annette Drummond, for services to Cricket and her captaincy of the Scotland Women side (60 caps). She has been selected to run at Glamis Castle on 28th June.
Abtaha Maqsood (14) Abtaha was nominated by a family member for excellence in cricket and in Taekwon-do, where she teaches a junior class and holds a black belt. Abataha plays for the U17 squad and is expected to run on 16th July in the Glasgow area.
Caitlin Heathcote (16) plays for the U17 squad and was nominated by St Marys Music School for combining music with excellence in cricket and for her enthusiasm for coaching young cricketers. She participated in the run as it made its way through Edinburgh on 14th June.
Kari Carswell, Coach of the Scotland Women, said:
"I'm delighted that so many of our female players have been selected to take part in this prestigious event. They are a fantastic bunch of athletes with a tremendous work ethic and commitment to sport and their communities, and it's a great honour for so many to be participating. I know it means a lot to them. The Scotland Women team is training hard as we approach the Global Qualifiers for the Womens' Cricket World Cup, so it's an exciting year for us."

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen testifies before Joint Economic Committee, in Washington.
Janet Yellen, like she did in yesterday's speech to a private group, is stressing the strength of the economy and is offering a favorable outlook that both job growth and inflation will meet the Fed's expectations. And she's warning against waiting too long for liftoff which she says could trigger excessive risk taking and result in an abrupt rate hike that could unsettle the markets. Like yesterday, she is arguing that inflation is likely to pick up once base effects fade, that is effects tied to the prior fall in commodity prices and to low import prices. Yellen, however, is not sounding hawkish in the longer term, repeating that the FOMC, after liftoff, intends to keep the funds target below normal for some time. And also like she did yesterday, she says she is "looking forward" to the day when the Fed announces its rate hike which, barring a collapse in tomorrow's employment report, looks increasingly certain to be the December 15 & 16 FOMC meeting.
In questions and answers, Yellen, unlike she did yesterday, specifically referred to the December meeting as a "live option". Though no surprise, it will act to further cement December liftoff expectations. And, in an interesting comment on nonfarm payroll growth, she said absorbing new entrants into the labor force requires less than 100,000 per month which she noted is "quite a bit less" than 200,000 that is widely considered a solid level of monthly growth. In other comments, she cited the strong dollar as a factor behind weak exports which are holding down the nation's growth. She described general economic growth as slightly above trend though productivity has been depressed and wages have been stagnant. She noted that consumer spending is being driven by job growth and not by debt. She also repeated once again that the pace of tightening, once begun, will follow a gradual path.

Vallejo, California is called the "Gateway" accessing the beautiful Napa Valley Wine country to the north, San Francisco to the southwest, and Sacramento to the northeast.
Vallejo is a "gateway" in another way. The Vallejo area is diverse, being home to many different cultures and languages. There are Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Africans, and Hispanics to name a few. While these ethnic groups are very different, these groups have one thing in common: each ethnic group has deaf people. In the Greater Bay Area there are 150,000 hard of hearing people, of which 19,000 are deaf.
Biblical Ministries Worldwide is working in Vallejo to reach the Deaf. In 1999 Penny Harden moved to Vallejo CA, and began building relationships with the deaf in the community. In 2000 this progressed to Vallejo Bible Church for the Deaf, a once-a-month ASL church service, in which Penny brought in guest speakers.
In 2003 Brad Ketterling began commuting once a month from Los Angeles California to preach. Brad moved to Vallejo in 2004, and began working with the men and developing leaders.
God touched Hannah Mullins to work with the deaf. In May 2007 Brad and Hannah got married, and Hannah began working with her husband with the deaf couples and with Penny with the single women. The ministry developed under their leadership. In 2013 the Lord called them to move on to Washington State to develop a deaf church there. Mark Renke had been doing pulpit supply for a few years when Brad was gone. About the time God was moving Brad on, He was touching Mark's heart to become the pastor in Vallejo. Mark came to the mission under the "national pastor" status.
BMW's Bay Area Team endeavors to plant many deaf churches. We wish to finish the church plant in Vallejo, and start more deaf churches in the Bay area. To do this, we need more workers. Please pray to the Lord of the harvest to send more workers. Also, please consider our ministry.
For more information, please contact Dominic Gonino (Area Director) or Mark Renke.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh sounded optimistic that cornerback Samari Rolle (neck surgery) could play in Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Rolle has not played in the past five games, but he seems to be further along in his recovery than strong safety Dawan Landry, who has also missed the past five games because of a spinal cord concussion.
"I don't think it's ruled out for Dawan this week, but it probably is pessimistic," Harbaugh said. "For Samari, I don't know if it's optimistic, but there's a chance he's going to be able to play. So we're going to get him out there to practice and see how he does, and we're going to push hard to see if we can get him into this game."
Harbaugh also emphasized that the team is awaiting the return of cornerback Chris McAlister (right knee), who was inactive for the first time this season in Sunday's win over the Oakland Raiders.
"We want him on the field playing as much as possible, and we want to manage the reps and put him in the best situation to get through the whole season," Harbaugh said. "He's going to be playing a lot of football for us. Unless something turns with the knee, he's going to be playing a ton of football for us, and he's going to be a huge part of what we're doing."
Before last week, Harbaugh and McAlister both said he was not injured.
Two games ago, McAlister was benched by Harbaugh. McAlister didn't enter the game at Miami until 8:57 remained in the second quarter. He played only three snaps in the first three quarters.
McAlister, 31, is signed through the 2010 season. He is scheduled to earn $8 million this season and the last two years of the deal.
Addressing McAlister's status on the team this season, Harbaugh said: "Chris is still very much in the mix. He's part of our plans. He's going to be a part of our success or failure as we go forward."
Meanwhile, the Ravens have to find a way to turn around another struggling player. Starting left offensive tackle Jared Gaither was penalized four times in Sunday's win over the Raiders.
"I have a lot to improve on," Gaither said. "I've got a lot to get better for next week."
The successor to all-but-certain Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden, Gaither has played well in his first season as the starting left tackle. But his progress nearly unraveled Sunday.
Gaither, a Maryland product, was flagged for two false starts, one holding penalty and going downfield as an ineligible receiver once. Gaither accounted for half of the team's eight penalties and 21 of the 52 penalty yards.
The transgressions did not haunt Gaither. The second false start occurred nine plays before Joe Flacco's 70-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Demetrius Williams, and the ineligible-receiver call was followed by Flacco's 12-yard run into the end zone. Gaither said he did not dwell on the penalties.
"You've got to put it away and go to the next play," he said. "Playing my position in this league, you've got to have a quick memory. A quick memory on the bad things and a long memory on the good things."
However, Harbaugh declined to single out Gaither, noting that right guard Chris Chester committed two holding penalties and fullback Le'Ron McClain moved early.
"I think it's something that any of our offensive linemen have to work out, and it's not just the offensive linemen," Harbaugh said. "We had a back flinch as well, and we lined up wrong outside on the perimeter on the left side one time. Those are all critical things that if we want to become what we want to become, we definitely have to clean that stuff up."
--QB Joe Flacco has accounted for three touchdowns (two passing and one rushing) and no interceptions in his past two games.
--RB Willis McGahee had a season-high 23 carries Sunday, but he averaged 2.5 yards a carry. He has averaged less than 3.0 yards a carry in three of his past four games.
--TE Todd Heap has not scored a touchdown in the first seven games of the season, the first time that has happened in his eight-year career.
--WR Derrick Mason was held to a season-low one catch Sunday. The last time he was held to fewer than two catches in a game was in October 2006. He followed that game with six receptions for 67 yards.
--WR Demetrius Williams scored a touchdown for the first time since December 2006. He still has caught fewer than two passes in four of his past five games.
--WR Mark Clayton was held without a catch for the second time this season. He remains nonexistent in the team's offense. He has a total of 26 receiving yards in his past three games.
--FS Ed Reed is still being slowed by hamstring and neck injuries. That has limited his ability to attack the play and make an interception.
--LB Terrell Suggs has five sacks in his past six games. He also has one interception and one forced fumble this season.
--LB Jameel McClain recorded a sack for a safety on his first snap on defense. He is an undrafted rookie out of Syracuse.

The other day I noticed a new sign at Tynan's, the coffee shop going into the Highland Park building at 14th and Irving, and a reader noticed the same thing and snapped a photo! Not sure how close they are, but I like coffee. Would you visit?
The reader also mentioned the sports bar that was also in planning for the building -- I haven't heard anything about it since that first mention in the Washington Business Journal. Too bad, I'd love to have a place where I could go watch some football, have a beer and burger, and cry about my fantasy football teams. I'm checking around.

That's really cool. I love Sticky Fingers but it's good to have options. Is Tynan's locally owned?

Last weekend when I was gorging on chocolates at Fort Mason, I ran into its weekly farmers' market in the parking area. I never realized they had a farmers market, but it shouldn't be a surprise since we live in the Bay Area where there's a new farmers' market in virtually every neighborhood these days.
The Fort Mason market happens every Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. It launched during the summer and is now year round, so you can visit it any time you like during the year. (If the weather's drying out Sunday, you can head out and stock up for your Thanksgiving dinner with a lot of fall fruits and vegetables and apples, pears, persimmons, beets and all sorts of squash.)
The market was especially crowded when I was there last week, and it looked like a hearty crowd despite being smaller than most other markets around town. There were some regular market sellers like Scream Sorbet and Roli Roti, but I also noticed some different stands unique to this market.
It's kind of out of the way for me, but was totally convenient when I was at Fort Mason for an event. It's seems perfect for the Marina crowd, as can be seen by the cyclists and joggers stopping by to check out the goods. They probably can grow with a few more prepared foods vendors, but it's definitely a nice emerging market.

I've been wanting to check out this market...thanks for the reminder. WHile I am not exactly part of the Marina crowd, I can deal with them. :)

You really make me miss those California farmer's markets!
Did the Roli Roti truck have porchetta? - 12/07/2010 7:24 AM
- Single Guy Ben said...
Nate, I don't know if they had porchetta. That's the thing about the Roli Roti truck, it's not a guarantee of the porchetta when they're elsewhere. But it's guaranteed (with the lines) at the Ferry Building Saturday market.

Half Truths & Globalist Bias of The NY Times Front Page Headlines
"We read and rebut their vile crap so you won't have to!"
New York Times (Op-Ed): Jeff Sessions Needs to Go
By RICHARD W. PAINTER
Damn it! We really hate being right so often!
Subscribers of the almost-daily Anti-New York Times will recall that it was only a few days ago that we warned against the folly and danger of strategically conceding points of argument to evil liars. From our February 28th issue about coal company executives accepting the hoax of "Global Warming" TM and meeting with "Green" groups:
A proverb from your favorite philosopher here at The Anti-New York Times:
"He who allows an evil adversary to frame the debate has already hanged himself."
Never, for the sake of strategic expediency, yield an inch of truth to a pack of liars. Never! To use an analogy from American football, Team Satan will not stop advancing the ball with the "first down" yardage you have so graciously, cowardly and stupidly granted them. No way! They will instead use the easily-gained ground to launch a new set of bold attacks as they "move the chains" again and again and again until they have reached the final destination.
Why give the guy in Image 2 any ground, at all? Let him work for it!
And what is the big "scandal" in the Fake News today? Answer: The innocent conversation between Attorney General (then-Senator) Jeff Sessions and the Russian Ambassador.
And why would such a conversation be considered as grounds for Sessions to resign? Answer: Because the meddling Russians hacked Demonrat computers and fed information that was damaging to Killary Clinscum to Julian Assange of WikiLeaks.
And what evidence is there that the Russians were actually behind these hacks and leaks? Answer: Even Donald Trump now admits it!
From December to January, Trump's tweets "moderated" from open denial and ridicule (Tweets 1 & 2) to merely: "the machines weren't touched" and "it didn't affect the election results anyway." (Tweet 3)
Do "youse guys" see what we mean about making concessions to the Sons of Satan? You see, just to shut his enemies up and relieve a bit of the pressure that was being brought to bear against him, Orange Man foolishly abandoned his very strong original position in which he dismissed all accusations against Russia as unsubstantiated. When nibbled at by the Piranha Press for "disrespecting the intelligence community," OM softened his stance by conceding that the Russians were "probably" guilty of hacking into e-mails, but that it didn't matter because Killary would have lost anyway.
"First Down and 10!"
The temporary relief that OM enjoyed by foolishly admitting to Russian meddling was very short-lived. As a direct consequence of that first concession, National Security Advisor Mike Flynn then came under attack for "talking to the Russians" during the transition period and "lying" to the VP snake Mike Pence about it. Flynn was then fired to appease the lynch mob. Another "First Down and 10!"
Because Trump admitted that the Russians "probably hacked," Flynn (Image 1 with Putin) was more easily targeted for his "ties to Russia." His media-approved replacement, General H. R. McMaster is a CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) Globalist.
After tasting Flynn's blood, the Globalist agents in government and the Fake Media had even better field position from which to launch the next wave of attacks in the form of a coming "investigation" from which Sessions has just agreed to "recuse himself" from. Yet another "First Down and 10!" What next? A Special Prosecutor? A "Bipartisan Commission?" TM
Evidently, Trump "strategist" Steve Bannon isn't so clever after all. Or could it be the DC "power couple" of baby-girl Ivanka and her squirrelly Democrat Jew husband Jared that is de-balling "The Donald?" Thanks to OM's softening and Flynn's firing, the debate about Russian meddling is "settled" and cannot be be revisited. Those "yards" are lost forever. The new debate will now center around: "What did he know and when did he know it?" TM. Dadgummit! When will people ever learn to stop making cowardly concessions to the aggressive Left?! That "kinder, gentler" bullshine doesn't work with these demonic creatures.
Had OM stuck to his attack guns and repeated, over and over and over again, "Lies ... Lies ... Lies" and demanded an investigation into the fake intelligence instead -- the storm would have passed and his discredited accusers would have been the ones losing yardage. As it stands now, OM and his team are facing a new wave of attacks from an ever shrinking defensive position "in the shadows of their own goal post" -- with another enemy "First Down and 10" (or is it "first and goal" already?) fast approaching.
1. Communist Congresswomen Maxine Waters has predicted that the Russia Affair will bring Trump down.
2. Senate scoundrels McCain the Insane, UpChuck Schumer, and Sodomite Graham now intend to use this phony "proven" Russia Affair to stage a coup.
3. Soon, there won't be any territory left to defend.
Boobus Americanus 1: The New York Times is calling for Trump's Attorney General to resign for talking with the Russian ambassador while he was a Senator.
Boobus Americanus 2: I don't know if I agree with that position. This obsession with Russian connections is starting to sound like McCarthyism.
Sugar: Boobusss! You sstarted out with an intelligent comment, but then you had to frick it all up by taking a cheap sshot at the great Joe McCarthy. --- %#$&*% @#$%
Editor: Next to the Great One of Germany, Senator Joe is Sugar's favorite. Don't mess with him!

CJ if you're a CJP with dedicated PAM. I think no network can come close to CJ for CJPs.
