The best of the web from the perspective of a Catholic mom, former atheist, and closet computer nerd.

Canadian rockers Hey Rosetta! descend on Los Angeles tomorrow as part of their festival season tour that just saw a visit to Hangout Beach, sees them hit up Sasquatch this weekend and tour east to Bonnaroo.
The neighbors from north bring their raging six piece thru Echo on Thursday to blend melodies over classic garage rock structures - and the outcome is sonic beauty. Los Angeles and Manchester are lucky to be graced with their presence given that after some mid-00s accolades, the band took three and a half years to release Seeds, their third album. Thursday they are joined by Rich Aucoin and a House for Lions at The Echo.
Making the most of their festival run to the 'Roo, the act is scheduled to deliver two sets in Tennessee, one at Miller Lite's Great Taste Lounge on Friday June 8th at 5:20 PM and Saturday at the Sonic Stage at 2:30. Don't miss!
Check out more Hey Rosetta on their website.

Yesterday evening the water went out again for a few hours. With the ladder in position up to the roof (as I had to go up to switch over to the reserve tank), I suggested to Nick that we go up and chill on the roof with a beer. Surprisingly, we had never done that before (go up to the roof at night, not chill with a beer).
WOW! It was a clear night and the stars were amazingly clear. The whole sky was filled with them (as it should be). We even saw the milky way (don't think I'd ever seen it). We both laid back on the roof (the front end of the house has an inclined, bench like formation which makes it quite conducive for lounging) and took it all in. Pretty amazing! In the future, we think we need to install a few hammocks up there.
This song is one of my old favorites (haircuts of the band members indicate that it is a very OLD favorite).

Today my new roommate Zhenya came to help with the lesson. She's of Korean descent, and the kids weren't sure if she was Russian or not. So we pretended that she spoke only English, and the kids were incredibly well-behaved! They tried hard to speak English, or when speaking Russian, tried hard to "help" her understand.

Star Wars; Diminished Hope
Nomi Sunrider
Jedi Master
Nomi Sunrider was a Human female who served as a Jedi Master and later leader of the Jedi Order in the days of the Galactic Republic. Born Nomi Da-Boda, she married Andur Sunrider, who was training to become a Jedi Knight, and eventually gave birth to a baby girl, whom they named Vima. During a trip to the Stenness system, Andur was ambushed by gang members of Bogga the Hutt, who were after the Adegan crystals carried by Sunrider and her husband. The ensuing fight witnessed the murder of Andur, and Sunrider's decision to begin down the path to become a Jedi Knight. Sunrider eventually completed her training under the Jedi Master Thon, and was placed in charge of the Jedi relief mission sent to Onderon to aid Ulic Qel-Droma in the Freedon Nadd Uprising. Along with several other Jedi, Sunrider helped Qel-Droma bring about the end of the Naddist Revolt, essentially putting an end to the reign of the Sith on Onderon. Following those events, Sunrider was one of many Jedi to participate in the Great Sith War against the rise of Exar Kun and his apprentice, the fallen Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma. During the war, Sunrider witnessed Qel-Droma slay his own brother Cay and, guided by her intense emotions, used her powers to permanently sever Qel-Droma from The Force. With Sunrider's defeat of Qel-Droma, the Sith War was soon brought to an end.
Following the devastation of the Great Sith War, Sunrider steadily climbed the ranks of the Jedi and was eventually made Head of the Jedi Order around the time of the Conclave of Exis Station, a conclave which Sunrider had assembled so the Jedi could discuss the rebuilding of the Order following the end of the war. Years after her death, her legacy was preserved in the histories of the Jedi and her stories were retold down through the centuries.

The media keeps is focus on crimes minority populations are committing while practically bringing no analysis to the appalling high crime rate that white folks (especially white men) inflict on other white folks and particularly women and children. It is shocking case of racism in the media.

News report here with graphic vid of accident. Airplane crashed into spectators. When I see true to life traumatic things like this, when I see humans hurt unexpectedly, when I hear them scream in confusion I dont take it in as entertainment. I dont like seeing it or seek it out as a thrill.
It made me cry a bit actually. It was unpleasant.
What struck me is that they should show war footage to the publoc and reveal just how horrible battle really is.
This idea that somehow this is so sixties to show the trith about war makes no sense.
Why in this day and age are humans acting lke beasts? How can we insist and demand PC etc at home and still have a military industrial complex?
The more I live thrpugh being gang stalked the less and less human life makes any sense on this planet at this tike in history.

The second half of Periphery's Juggernaut double album up in full
Earlier this week finally brought us the first half of Periphery's epic double album for public consumption, but now it's time to devour it whole. Yeah, you heard me: Juggernaut: Omega is now also available for a full stream through YouTube.
Dubbed the more pessimistic of the two by guitarist Misha Mansoor, Omega continues where Alpha left off and while it's quite different in some ways you will surely hear a couple of familiar things if you already partook in Monday's Periphery-feast. Feel "The Bad Thing", talk to your "Priestess" and explore "Hell Below". Which album is the stronger of the two? Or should they not be judged separately? Sound off in the comments.
Juggernaut: Alpha and Juggernaut: Omega are out January 23rd in Australia through Roadrunner Records, January 26th in Europe/the UK through Century Media Records, and through Sumerian Records/Distort/TripleVision Entertainment in the USA, Canada and Japan on the 27th. We'll have reviews of both VERY SOON.
Periphery are on the road right now, touring North America with Nothing More, Wovenwar and Thank You Scientist (dates below). That will be followed by a European stint with the mighty Devin Townsend, plus a special show in London next April with support from Xerath and Red Seas Fire.

I wanted to share with you the wonderful vacation we had the privilege of taking in June. I haven't posted in full about this because I'm still overwhelmed with it all and just don't feel I can express in words how big a blessing it was to our family. Hopefully the pictures will do the talking! (and there will be LOTS of them) :)
Over a year ago Brian stumbled upon this website http://www.pastorsrr.com We took the time to fill out the application and thought we'll just see what happens. What happened was that God blessed our family in a BIG way!! :) We were approved and were offered a two week stay at the most b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l home in Deland Florida!! Two weeks...two SOLID weeks away from home. We have NEVER done that before!! What a wonderful time to unwind, relax, refresh and renew!!
The kids finished school on Friday and we headed south Saturday morning. We stayed in Georgia so that we would be able to worship with the Hill family on Sunday morning at their church in Americus. Brian was on staff with Pastor Steve at Bryant Wesleyan. Our kids grew up together and it was such a great time to get together with them again. For some reason I didn't take ANY pictures of this...not sure why but :(
Fun in the van!!
The amazing house! When we got settled in Joseph said, "Mom, this feels just like home!" I had to giggle knowing this was NOTHING like our house...but he was right. For those two weeks that was our home as we were together as a family enjoying one another!! God is good! :)

Ulster made it four wins out of four in this season's PRO12 as they overcame Glasgow Warriors 22-17 at Scotstoun Stadium on Friday.
The Irish province were the better team in the opening period, going into the break 15-7 ahead through Darren Cave's touchdown and a penalty try, with Paddy Jackson kicking five points.
Glasgow's response before the interval came from Gordon Reid's score and, although they briefly went into lead in the second half via Finn Russell's penalty and Tommy Seymour's effort, Ulster secured the win when Jackson crossed the whitewash.
Les Kiss' men have enjoyed an outstanding start to the season, winning all three of their encounters going into this match, and they duly opened the game with confidence.
Jackson's penalty was reward for their early pressure and that looked to be followed by a try when Jared Payne went over. However, the score, much to the frustration of the visitors, was correctly ruled out for Iain Henderson taking an opponent out beyond the horizontal.
Henderson received a yellow card for that indiscretion but it didn't seem to matter as Ulster managed to atone for that missed opportunity by touching down through Cave.
The outstanding Charles Piutau was the catalyst, breaking down the left-hand side, before the ball was shifted right and the centre crossed the whitewash.
Glasgow hit back when Reid barrelled over the line from close range, but the away team continued to look the more dangerous.
They had a second try ruled out, this time for an obstruction, and it appeared as though the Warriors would hold on until the break, but the Irish province had other ideas. Kiss' side went through the phases and put the ever-dangerous Piutau in space, five metres from the line. Covering defender Leonardo Sarto then led with his shoulder, illegally stopping the All Black from touching down. The Italian wing was duly sin-binned and referee Ian Davies awarded a penalty try as the visitors went into the break 15-7 in front.
Ulster continued to create chances in the second period with Jackson going close, but play was called back 70 metres for an infringement by the visitors. Russell kicked the resultant penalty before the Scottish outfit moved ahead for the first time in the match as an excellently constructed attack ended in Seymour going over.
Stung by that setback having been the better side throughout, the Belfast-based side restored their advantage almost immediately via another wonderful move. Louis Ludik made the initial incursion, displaying searing pace down the right, and after the ball was shifted left, Jackson was on hand to touch down. Glasgow pressed for a late winner but Ulster held on.
The scorers:
For Glasgow:
Tries: Reid, Seymour
Cons: Russell 2
Pen: Russell
For Ulster:
Tries: Cave, Penalty Try, Jackson
Cons: Jackson 2
Pen: Jackson
Glasgow: 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Leonardo Sarto, 13 Mark Bennett, 12 Alex Dunbar, 11 Tommy Seymour, 10 Finn Russell, 9 Henry Pyrgos (cc), 8 Ryan Wilson, 7 Lewis Wynne, 6 Tjiuee Uanivi, 5 Jonny Gray (c), 4 Greg Peterson, 3 Zander Fagerson, 2 Fraser Brown, 1 Gordon Reid

Entertainment – Q&A Chetan Bhagat
Subhash K Jha
Those multitudes who have read Chetan Bhagat's novel Five Point Someone would agree there are uncanny resemblances between the novel and Raj Kumar Aamir Khan More Pics
Twitter Facebook Share
Email Print Save Comment
Hirani's 3 Idiots.
The film apparently set out to adapt Bhagat's novel and then decided to go its own way, for whatever reason. Now to his horror Chetan Bhagat finds his name missing from the opening credits of 3 Idiots. Not only that, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and now Aamir Khan have gone on record to accuse the bestselling author of trying to gain publicity from the film. Hurt and amused, Chetan reacts.
You must be very upset by the latest proceedings?
You're a writer. You should know how it feels to have credit taken away from you. And it's not something only I'm saying. It's out there. The book is there. The film is there. They've tried to take away from my contribution. My name is at the very end of the credit titles after the junior artistes and still photographers. From the time they started making the film they've been stressing that their product is different. It's like a systematic effort (to underplay my contribution). If you read the book and saw the film you'll see the similarities.
So would you say 3 Idiots is an adaptation of your novel?
3 Idiots is a total adaptation of my book. Some things are direct lifts, others indirect adaptations.
Aamir thinks you are trying to take away credit from the film's writer Abhijat Joshi?
I heard his comments. But then he says he hasn't read the book. There's no denying Abhijat has done the screenplay. What Abhijat has done with my book can only be known if you've read it. If Aamir is so concerned about Abhijat not getting the publicity he should let Abhijat talk. I very much respect Aamir. He's the reason I thought the project would have a lot of integrity. I know for a fact he was told not to read my book because they told him it'd affect his understanding of his story. I was told it was a different script.
How would Aamir's perception have been affected if he read the book?
I don't know. I'm on a firm footing with the facts. See the film, read the book. And judge for yourself. The whole plot-structure narrative, even dialogues about matar-paneer and Maruti 800 cars are from my novel. The novel was set in the 1990s.Aaj Maruti 800 kaun bolega? I mention 42 exams and 16 broken bones in my book. They have kept the same numbers in the film. Kareena's brother committing suicide on the railway tracks … so many other things in the film, it's all there in my novel.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Aamir have accused you of trying to make mileage out of their movie?
If I didn't take up the issue properly I wouldn't have been able to live with myself. If someone else goes and collects the award for best story at the awards functions how will I feel? Only once I met Aamir. When I landed at Bangalore where they were shooting 3 Idiots, they said, 'Don't come, we've too many visitors'. They prevented me from going on the set. The book has been selling for six years. There're lakhs of fans of the book. It's not about Chetan being naraaz and Aamir being naraaz. My issue is not with Aamir. When the other film Hello based on my novel One Night At The Call Centre came did I say one word against the characterizations or treatment? I was credited properly for that. I haven't been credited for 3 Idiots.
Have you become embittered towards Bollywood?
You could make up any kind of contract. But is there any contract that stops people from being petty? My last novel Three Mistakes Of My Life is being directed by Abhishek Kapoor. I am co-scripting it. There's a lot of interest in adapting my latest novel 2 States: The Story Of My Life. I don't think there would be any problem with future projects. With 3 Idiots I know I'm in the right. I'm just telling people to see the film and read my book. I know Aamir is a very powerful person. But finally the truth has to prevail, no? I'm no great artiste. But there has to be fair play. I'm being accused of trying to get mileage. 10 lakh copies of the book have been sold. The book has been read by 1 crore readers. Wouldn't they know the truth?
What do you intend to do?
The makers of 3 Idiots are busy with their victory tours all over the country. They're naturally being asked about the similarities between my book and the film. Sorry, I spoilt their celebrations. The truth had to be told. I've been told by them, 'You're just a writer. You don't realize how big we are.' Maybe I don't realize how big they are. Main kya karoon? But the truth is above everything. Aisa nahin ke pura Bollywood kharaab hai.
Do you think you'll be ostracized by Bollywood after this incident?
I'm not dependent on Bollywood for my livelihood. I'm a big Krishna bhakt. I'll follow the right path. If I'm wrong I'll leave writing and join ISKCON. What does a writer want? That his words should make a change in society. Maybe by taking up this issue I hope to bring about a change in the way writers are treated. Vidhu Vinod Chopra assured me he would treat me like a king. Kahan ka raja?
What do you hope to achieve?
When they go to pick up the story award I want people to know whose story it is. When they make eye contact with their children they should know they're lying. We've to show that truth comes everything else. I don't write for money or glamour. I just need paper and pen. Lord Krishna takes care of the rest.

5. Mercerising:
a. Recipe:
i. Caustic lye = 50°TW
ii. Permenol N = 10 ml/liter (Mercerizing Wetting Agent)
Wash free from residual alkali
6. Polyester Dyeing: (Optional)
a. Recipe:
i. Lyogen PESI = 1.0 g/l (Dispersing & Leveling Agent)
ii. Acetic Acid = 1.0 g/l
1. Run @ 50°C for 10 minutes
iii. Add dissolved dyestuff @ 50°C and run 10 minutes
iv. Raise the temperature from 50 to 115°C @ 2°/minute – 30 minutes
v. Raise the temperature from 115 to 135°C @ 0.5°C/minute – 40 minutes
vi. Cool to 80°C and drain
7. Reduction Clearing (R.C.):
a. Recipe:
i. Cyclanon ECO = 2 grams/liter (Reduction Clearing Agent from BASF)
ii. Acetic Acid = 2 grams/liter
1. Treat at 80°C for 10 minutes
2. Wash cold
8. Reactive Dyeing:
a. Set pH to 6 by addition adequate quantity of Acetic acid ( may be up to 0.3 to 0.5 cc/liter)
b. Cotfix Turq Blue H2GP = 3.0%
c. Cotfix Yellow ME4GL = 1.0%
d. Glauber's Salt = 80 grams/liter OR
e. Soda Ash = 20 grams/liter
i. Dye using Special Turquoise Blue Dyeing Method
a. Cotfix Turq Blue H2GP = 3.0%
b. Cotfix Yellow ME4GL = 1.0%
c. Glauber's salt = 80 grams/liter
d. Soda Ash = 10 grams/liter
e. Caustic Soda Flakes = 2.75 grams/liter
Dye using the Special Turquoise Blue Preconditioning Method:
9. Neutralize:
Acetic Acid 2.5 grams/liter (instead of 1 g/l)
10. Soaping:
a. Method -1:
I – Soaping:
Lissopol D paste 2 grams/liter @ 80°C for 20 minutes.
II – Soaping:
Lissopol D paste 1 gram/liter @ 80°C for 20 minutes.
b. Method – 2:
I – Soaping:
Sandopon RSK Liq 2 grams/liter
Lyocol RDN 1 gram/liter (dispersing agent for Disperse dyes – used here for better soaping)
@ 80°C for 20 minutes.
II – Soaping:
Sandopon RSK Liq 1 gram/liter
Lyocol RDN 0.5 gram/liter
@ 80°C for 20 minutes.
c. Method- 3:
I – Soaping:
Cyclanon X-CW NEW = 2 gram/liter
Lyocol RDN = 1 gram/liter
@ 80°C for 20 minutes.
II – Soaping:
Cyclanon X-CW NEW = 1 gram/liter

@ 80°C for 20 minutes
Hot Wash
Cold Wash
11. Acetic Acid treatment:
Acetic Acid 0.5 cc/liter
12. If necessary use Formaldehyde free Cationic fixing treatment.
a. Sapamine OC = 1%
b. Cationic Fixing = 1%
i. @ Cold treat for 30 minutes.
ii. Wash cold
iii. Drain & unload the batch.
If a dose of 0.3 cc/liter of Acetic acid is incorporated in the soaping bath, the staining of reactive dyes on polyester during soaping may be completely avoided. Soaping bath pH should be 5 to 6.
A final wash after Soaping with 1 gram/liter of Acetic Acid or 0.5 gram/liter of Formic acid and maintaining a pH 5 to6 during drying would avoid tinting of reactive dyes by migration in to polyester.
Even after taking all precautions, if the polyester part still gets stained, treat the tinted fabric with:
Acetic Acid = 2grams/liter
Alcosperse AD = 2 grams/liter
Cibapon R liq = 2 grams/liter
At 80°C for 30 minutes; this would remove the stains from the polyester.
1. In preparation no residual chemicals of the pretreatment should remain on the fabric. The RFD fabric should be checked for a pH of 6 at the end of pretreatment and before dyeing.
2. The pH should be 6 at the beginning of reactive dyeing.
3. After dyeing is over, neutralization with Acetic acid should be done and check the pH to 6.
4. Ensure sufficient hot wash to reduce the electrolyte (salt) concentration to a minimum of 1 g/l before soaping, otherwise imperfect soaping would be done.
5. During soaping maintain a pH of 6 to avoid staining of polyester.
6. The soaping temperature should be maintained strictly at 80°C. More than this would open the polyester fiber and create a tendency for unfixed reactive dye to enter into polyester fiber as stain.
7. The final pH should be 6 before drying and it may be controlled by using 0.5 cc/liter of Formic Acid.
Notes on Resin finishing:
Resin KVS = 45 g/liter
PV Acetate = 25 g/liter
PVA = 25 g/liter
PE = 20 g/liter
Acetic Acid = 1 cc/liter
Pad 2 dip 2 nip – pressure 35 kgs/sqcm. – speed 25 mtrs/minute and temperature – 170°C – No over feed.

Cotton-Nylon fabric/yarn dyeing
Cotton and Nylon blended fabrics may be dyed using the above process diagram. Machinery: (Cheese dyeing machine or Soft-flow machine)
- Set the dye bath with1.5 to 2.5 gpl acetic acid at room temperature.
- Add the total quantity of Glauber's salt for reactive dyeing in two portions. This will function like a leveling agent for acid dyeing.
- Add the dyestuff mixture of acid and reactive dyes in two portions.
- Raise the temperature to 80°C @ 1°/minute.
- Hold at 80°C for 30 to 45 minutes according to the recipe/depth of nylon dyes (acid dyes).
- Then check the shade for nylon portion by carbonizing the cellulose in 70% Sulphuric acid.
- If not ok, make required additions and continue dyeing otherwise reduce the temperature to 60°C @ 2°/minute.
- At 60°C add alkali in two portions as mentioned above. Check pH. It should be 10.8 to 11.2.
- Continue dyeing for 45 to 90 minutes according to depth.
- Drop the bath.
- Cold wash twice for 10 minutes each.
- Neutralize with 1gpl of acetic acid at 40°C – Drain.
- Hot wash at 70°C – 10 minutes.
- I- Soaping with Sandopur RSK Liq – 2 gpl at 90°C
- II – Soaping with Sandopur RSK Liq – 1 gpl at 90°C
- Hot wash at 70°C
- Cold wash – twice for 10 minutes each.
- Acid wash with 1 gpl acetic acid at cold.
- Unload or take it for finishing.
Few suggestions for continuous dyeing are:
- Continuous Dyeing of Nylon and cotton blends may be done using disperse and reactive dyes in the same way we do for polyester and cotton. Thermosolling may be done at 80 to 90°C instead of 135 to 150°C. A bottleneck with disperse dyeing is, you can produce only light and medium shades only. With disperse dyestuff you may not get proper yield and washing fastness.
- With Clariant there is a dyestuff called 'Forosols' that can be used for dyeing both cotton and polyester for solid shades. You can make a lab trial in consultation with Clariant people and then finalize your process for continuous dyeing.
Guide to Select the Right Fiber for the Right Product
One of the most important aspects of a textile product is the fabric. There are a number of criteria upon which the fabric selection is based. In the world of fashion, color, texture and pattern are paramount. However, less apparent but equally important is fiber type. Fibers have specific properties that can influence the performance and comfort of a garment. In order to produce a product with the desired characteristics, the appropriate fiber must be selected.

Annual ACT Gathering
This is for friends / members of ACT (a community theatre) – current, past, would-be interest parties ...
Look ahead to the lovely summer Saturday afternoon/evening (4:00 till ?) on August 16th ...
• You're playing croquet or lawn darts on the grounds of the magnificent country estate of Monique and Ben.
• You're chatting with the amiable company as you sip a libation in preparation for a scrumptious potluck dinner.
• You learn the ACT-applications of Facebook communication.
• You hear about the Hallowe'en comedy "Jack the Ripper" and the blockbuster musical "Evita" ... indeed, you watch bits of the Madonna movie, tapping your toes to the pulsing Latin rhythms.
• You are enthralled by Ann Putnam's staged reading of the intriguing mystery "Trifles".
... Oh, and you spend 20 minutes fulfilling the requirement of an annual general meeting to recap the past year and confirm that the organization is solvent and pretty well managed – as well as electing the people who will manage it for the coming year.

1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good. 2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any that act wisely, that seek after God. (RSV)
I pray O Lord that I would not let the search of wisdom keep me from you.
Help me Father!
I pray that I would seek you with all of my heart, soul, and mind.
May all glory be yours, O Lord.

Ah, September, the start of San Francisco's late summer! Inspired by the beautiful weather we're having, as well as my extreme case of wanderlust, I'm channeling Greece in today's look.
I've never been to Greece, but it's one of many places on my bucket list. Whenever you look up any photos of it, you always see vibrant blues against crisp white architecture, and that's what I wanted to mimic.
I chose to pair this outfit with my cork nude pumps. I love how the texture is different from standard patent nude pumps, and it also keeps the look casual while still elongating my legs.
Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day! By the way, there still some great sale items out there. In case you're interested, here are a few of my favorites:
Nordstrom: Leith fringe skirt | MICHAEL Michael Kors top | Helene Berman cape
BaubleBar (20% off with code SALE20): Alpha Initial pendant
Tibi (20% off with code HELLOFALL): Jacquard skirt | Sleeveless dress
NastyGal: Little black dress | Floral slip-on's | Jeffrey Campbell lace-up booties

About F-1
F1 car is made up of 80,000 components, if it were assembled 99.9% correctly, it would still start the race with 80 things wrong.
When an F1 driver hits the brakes on his car he experiences retardation or deceleration comparable to a regular car driving through a BRICK wall at 300kmph..
F1 car can go from 0 to 160 kph AND back to 0 in FOUR seconds...
F1 car engines last only for about 2 hours of racing mostly before blowing up on the other hand we expect our engines to last us for a decent 20yrs on an average and they quite faithfully DO....that's the extent to which the engines r pushed to perform...
An average F1 driver looses about 4kgs of weight after just one race due to the prolonged exposure to high G forces and temperatures for little over an hour.
At 550kg a F1 car is less than half the weight of a Mini.
à To give you an idea of just how important aerodynamic design and added down force can be, small planes can take off at slower speeds than F1 cars travel on the track.
à Without aerodynamic down force, high-performance racing cars have sufficient power to produce wheel spin and loss of control at 160 kph. They usually race at over 300 kph.
In a street course race like the Monaco grand prix, the down force provides enough suction to lift manhole covers. Before the race all of the manhole covers on the streets have to be welded down to prevent this from happening.
The refuelers used in F1 can supply 12 liters of fuel per second. This means it would take just 4 seconds to fill the tank of an average 50 liter family car. They use the same refueling rigs used on US military helicopters today.
TOP F1 pit crews can refuel and change tyres in around 3 seconds. It took me 8 sec to read above point.
Normal tyres last 60 000 - 100 000 km. Racing tyres are designed to last 90 - 120 km.
A dry-weather F1 tyre reaches peak operating performance (best grip) when tread temperature is between 900C and 1200C.(Water boils boils at 100C remember) At top speed, F1 tyres rotate 50 times a second.
And that's not Magic.... Its only a game...............

Would You Eat at This Restaurant?
Dinner in the Sky: A chef prepares meals while diners enjoy panoramic views harnessed in seats that swivel 180 degrees, suspended via a crane. By Jayne Clark, USA TODAY Here's a dining concept that'll make your head — if not your stomach — spin: It's dinner at a table suspended 165 feet in the air with chairs that swivel 180 degrees. Dubbed Dinner in the Sky, the attraction is making its U.S. debut Monday in Orlando at the annual International Association of Amusement
Parks and Attractions convention. About 25,000 attendees are expected at the one-stop-shopping event, where the amusement industry rolls out new thrill rides and related products. The high-flying dining venue was introduced in Europe last year and consists of a platform suspended from a crane. Guests are harnessed into 22 seats, with space in the center for a chef and two helpers. With local officials' blessings, the platform can be transported to just about anywhere the crane can maneuver.
One recent spot: in front of the Amiens Cathedral in France , with dinner prepared by a three-star Michelin chef. Ghysels sees all sorts of U.S. possibilities for the dangling restaurant, including air space over the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls and golf courses. "I think human beings always like to see what's happening from the air," he says. "And there are so many wonderful natural spots in the U.S. Dinner in the Sky could go anywhere." The restaurant (dinnerinthesky. com) belongs firmly in the special-occasion category, however.
The cost for eight hours is about $11,444 — not including catering.

Hip Hop @ Anuradhapura
If you are a Sri Lankan, Yes The title is correct. Last saturday the first ever Hip Hop concert was held in New Town Anuradhapura. It was organized by one of my friends ( Shamika). Me & Della (Nuwan) went to A'pura on Saturday morning to help. Actually more of us were supposed to go from colombo, but as usual come saturday morning they had varies other tasks(damn lies & lazy buggers). Anyway we two had to man the ticket counters since the Shamika & guys didn't want to be there since if they were issuing tickets many would want to get in to the hall for free! It was held at Swarnamali Girls convent Hall & around 800 to 900 people attended. Actually I was suprised to see such a big crowd for concert of this kind in Anuradhapura. Doggynation, B & A, DirtyCry, 6th Lane & Iraj & IllNoize performed.
All went quite smoothly except that Iraj wanted more than what he has agreed beforehand. We had to pay around Rs.10,000 more for him & his team. Anyway they were the main attraction & they rocked the hall. For the maybe the first time I can remember we were at a musical show or a concert while being sober. Alcohol was prohibited to all the organizers & considering the fact the way some of our gang behave after consuming alcohol it was a prudent decision.
Although at the beginning I doubted, Shamika was able to make a little profit in the end. Since this was the first, it was a good start. Sunday morning he gave a party to all of us near Nuwara Lake where wild boar, Old Reserve & Toddy played major parts. Anyway we managed to catch a late evening bus back to Colombo since both me & della had to come to work on Monday.

Back on the Beam
After nearly relapsing, she had to turn back to the tools
Lately I have heard the topics "complacency" and "resting on our laurels" discussed in meetings around town. Several years ago, when I got sober after first coming to AA, I was cautioned against taking my sobriety for granted. Those who have guided me in the program stressed the importance of gratitude for each sober day. Sure I had gratitude! No one knew better than I how vicious and merciless this disease could be, I thought. I had been thoroughly convinced, conceding to the conclusions drawn in our first three Steps. I had a nagging fear that I may drink again, but an even more persistent belief that faith and subsequent action could save me from a fate so unfortunately and frequently experienced by so many alcoholics.
My sponsor guided me through the Twelve Steps. We read the literature together, she shared her experience, and directed me in the program of action. She helped me get back on track when it became clear, from time to time, that I had the opportunity to practice the Steps on a wider, deeper scale. After a year or two, the regular practice of Steps One through Twelve had caused a rapid, very dramatic change in my life.

I'm beginning to believe that Wednesday workouts are the only respite we get from all the butt-whipping they serve us during the rest of the week. Wednesday WODs are usually light because that's when a lot of people come to do the trial.
Today, we had to do twin workouts.
First part for time (14 minute time cap):
- 800m run
- 40 hang power snatch (95/65)
- 30 toes to bar
- 20 shoulder to overhead
Rest 6 minutes
Second part for time (14 minute time cap):
- 800m run
- 40 shoulder to overhead
- 30 toes to bar
I used 45 lbs for the lifts and did knees to elbows using the rings. I made it to 3 shoulder to overheads for the first part, and 3 hang power snatches for the second part. BUT -- and this is what made Rhona and I proud -- we didn't stop or walk during the 2 runs. It's the little victories that matter.
I had a dream last night that I'd scraped my shins on the bar and had gotten them infected. Ugh. I'm sure those bars house lots of bacteria, so I think I should start wearing long socks all the time now.

Your sketch this week was just what I needed for this pile of photos!
More closeup shots in the side gallery.
Thanks for stopping by... :)
I have been holding on to these two magazine issues forever trying to figure out how to document this moment... being published in Creating Keepsakes in two back-to-back issues last fall - it was pretty cool.
Can cross this off my 'wishful thinking' list into the 'done' category... LOL
Closeup of details including the bit of flair that is rare for me ('&' sign from October Afternoon in the center)... I wasn't a fan of flair until I figured out I could take off the extra height by removing the foam pop dot and flattening it a bit with a flat ruler & muscle power pressure... the flatter the better for this girl. ha!
Another vacation page done... and it's a double, so does that count for two? LOL
Bot my job has been super busy and I have managed to keep up to date with Project Life (all updated in side gallery today), so slowly but surely I'll sneak other projects in... hope y'all have a great weekend. Time to go see if I can find the last of the summer sun on this first day of fall. (sigh)
Yep, I broke down and got one today. And wore jeans for the first time in months - even if it was with teal blue painted toenails in very open flat sandals. One foot into a new season is all I can bear... my first steps to admitting fall is coming. LOL
Pumpkin Spice sure takes the edge off, though, right? Yum. If only my body apreciated sugar as much as my mind does... but that's irrelevant when I'm already missing summer. Thank you, Starbucks, for helping bring in fall with a bit of comfort to look forward to all season.
That's all.
I think I can say it was out of need for work - yeah, doing some creative spreadsheet work (please don't barf here - LOL) and it has semeed to turn on my crafty mojo in the off hours. PL is up to date and I've done a few other projects that I'm happy with... so yeah, me! Here are some peeks and the full pages & additional details are in the side gallery.
Not sure how long this will last as I'm now helping get my new boss up to speed (which has already led to OT today -sigh - I'm tired!) - but I think it will be worth it in the long run.
Oh and I have had some great bits of writing inspiration lately, along with a 9 year old boy who is making me crazy with all of his needs... why does everything all happen at once? Ugh. Good thing I'm a tough cookie. LOL

What are we but portions of quanta playing out a three-dimensional theater,
Immortal at the essential level, yet mortal in whatever form played.
Birth, death and the life between are but an illusory dream.
In the ultimate eternal reality prior to all creation,
You were not, you are not, you care not.
* * * *
Everyone, everything, and all the nothingness
Within, between, beyond, during, before, after, forever and a day,
Is the you that is me, the me that is you.
So simple
As to make anything else meaningless.
* * * *
The awareness is the ever-present witness.
The observer and the observed are indivisibly one.
It is only in imagination that dualistic notion finds lodging.
Consciousness, no matter how profound or creative,
Can never be anything more than imagination.
* * * *
The mind, with all its patterns, is like a clenched fist
Unable to let loose whatever attachments it fosters.
* * * *
We all of the same mystery, the same eternal Soul,
But the character, the personality, the identity,
Wears the cloak of whatever illusory dream
The given nature-nurture has spawned.
Nothing about which to be inflated, really.
* * * *
What you know is in reality of so little consequence
As to be for all practical purpose and meaning, nothing.
* * * *
Some harbor in lies and deceit, others in truth and service.
Following the middle path of the given day is the surest way.
* * * *
The elements ever indivisibly combine, break apart, and re-combine
In their inexplicable, immutable, mysterious, sovereign fashion,
And the given mind follows in whatever meager way it will.

Recently, yet another wonderfully preserved hadrosaur specimen has been uncovered in Alberta, Canada that preserved a lot of soft tissue around the neck and head. This hadrosaur was Edmontosaurus regalis, a close, earlier relative to Edmontosaurus annectens. Since it's original discovery, Edmontosaurus was considered sort of a typical, basic hadrosaur. It had the wide, flat bill but unlike some of its relatives, it sported no fancy crest on its head...except it actually did.
|Image from the new paper showing where the crest is on the specimen by the white arrows.
You see, the crest of Edmontosaurus was kept a mystery for so long because it wasn't made of bone like the crests of so many of its relatives such as Parasaurolophus or Tsintaosaurus. The crest of Edmontosaurus regalis was made of just skin so it would have rotted away rather quickly before the fossilization process could have happened. Luckily this particular specimen retained it! It was probably full of blood vessels and would have been soft, maybe even floppy, in life. This sort of thing isn't unheard of in living relatives, either. Just look at birds like chickens and turkeys for instance. Some lizards, like Green Iguanas and certain agamids have soft crests as well.
|My quick sketch-and-paint of Edmontosaurus ragalis' new look.
So why would a dinosaur evolve such a thing? Well, the easy answer could always be display. (When in doubt just say display.) It's why a lot of extant animals have them. It could be possible that only the males had them, or possibly had larger ones which would go along with what you would find in chickens and iguanas. A soft crest like that could also help regulate the animal's body temperature. Within the crest, blood would be closer to the outside air, and cool off more easily. Then this blood would be circulated back into the body, thus helping to cool the whole animal off. Chickens do this with their crests, called crowns, and many mammals also do this with their ears. This is why a lot of desert mammals have large ears.
|All of these animals use body parts made of soft tissue for either display and/or thermoregulation. It is possible Edmontosaurus evolved its soft crest for similar purposes.
Although this is pretty exciting, this doesn't in any way make up for the fact that Tsintaosaurus lost its hilarious penis-shaped crest. Nice try, science, but I'm still mad at you!

Winter temperatures have come and gone and come again in the NYC area. I been thinking about making a pair of fingerless gloves for while, and low and behold the genius EunnyJang had a perfect pair on her blog. I made mine with Boist Karabella yarn (cashmere/merino blend) and did a simple red green pattern so i didn't have to think while was knitting. They knit up so fast its was scary. I started it on the Friday after Thanksgiving and finished both of them by saturday night. Then like a week later i realized i needed matching hat so i knit one and that only took a few days too...AMAZING. The gloves are getting nice a fuzzy and i know it will look even better after i washed them. I washed a swatch and it looks really good.
They are warm and when we had that day or so of winter weather i just put them over my short leather gloves and was all set.

Clayton Kershaw vs. Tim Lincecum: Who's the Better Pitcher Heading into 2012?March 25, 2012
Clayton Kershaw vs. Tim Lincecum: Who's the Better Pitcher Heading into 2012?
Cy versus Cy.
The Claw versus The Freak.
Any way you want to bill it, the National League West has arguably the two best aces pitching within the division. These teams are certainly no strangers to one another, and with the emergence of these two talents as certified Cy Young pitchers, it only makes the rivalry that much better.
The question is, which one is better heading into the 2012 season?
Is it Tim Lincecum, the two-time Cy Young Award winner?
Or, is it the most recent NL Cy Young winner, Clayton Kershaw?
Let's take a look at these two phenoms and make a prediction for the 2012 season.
Clayton Kershaw's Specs
First thing's first, in case you didn't know or lived on another planet, Clayton Kershaw is the big lefty who won the 2011 NL Cy Young Award.
At 6'3" and weighing in at 215 lbs, Kershaw is quite an imposing figure on the mound.
He is just 24 years old—in fact, he just turned 24 on March 19th. That factors into his wear and tear in my opinion.
In 2011, he pitched 233.1 innings while amounting 716.1 innings in his career.
His 2011 season saw him post a 21-5 record, while the Dodgers in general went 82-79.
Tim Lincecum's Specs
Tim Lincecum has a Pedro Martinez thing going on for him: little man, big numbers. Standing 5'11" (okay, not so little, but small in comparison to Kershaw) and weighing in at 165 lbs soaking wet, Lincecum is not as imposing on the mound.
However, his delivery is freakishly intimidating.
Lincecum will turn 28 this year (on June 15th).
In 2011, he managed to rack up 217 innings, and that brought his regular season inning total to 1,028.
Last season, he managed to go 13-14 for the 86-76 San Francisco Giants.
Raw Numbers for Kershaw
In 2011, Kershaw led all National League pitchers with a cool 2.28 ERA.
He also led the NL in strikeouts with 248.
His 6.7 H/9 also led the NL.
In other words, he was good. Real good. It is also worth mentioning that his WHIP was just 0.977.
2011 saw Kershaw win his first NL Cy Young Award as I've mentioned, but he also brought home a Gold Glove Award and made his first All-Star team.
Was this the start of a trend?
Raw Numbers for Lincecum
While he didn't lead the league in any major categories in 2011, Tim Lincecum was still really good.
His ERA was just 2.74, and he put up 220 strikeouts.
He only allowed 7.3 H/9 while posting a 1.207 WHIP.
2011 saw Lincecum make his fourth All-Star team, and while he placed sixth in the Cy Young race, he does already have two awards on his shelf (2008 & 2009).
Kershaw Analysis
Kershaw is known for being a sub-3.00 ERA pitcher with the exception of his rookie year, in which he posted a 4.26 ERA in 22 games, 21 of which were starts.
From the outside, one can see that Kershaw is getting better every season. Let's take a look at his WHIP totals:
In 2008 (his rookie year), he posted a 1.495. He would drop that WHIP by 18 percent in 2009, posting a 1.228. That same year, he led the NL with a 6.3 H/9 ratio.
In 2010, Kershaw would drop his WHIP another four percent, down to 1.179.
Then, last season his WHIP dropped another 18 percent to 0.977.
His career WHIP averages out to be 1.173.
While his time up in the bigs is still fairly short, his winning percentage rests at .627 for the Dodgers.
Lincecum Analysis
Lincecum, objectively, has a bit of a different history. His ERA has some fluctuations, though generally speaking he posts a sub-3.00.
He posted a 4.00 in 2007 and 3.43 in 2010.
His WHIP also rises and falls, though his career average is only 1.188.
Unlike Kershaw, who has just come into his own, Lincecum has been there, done that. He has led the NL in strikeouts three times: 2008—265, 2009—261 and 2010—231.
His career winning percentage is identical to Kershaw's at .627, despite having never won 20 games in a single season. His best was 18 in 2008.
Money Talks: Kershaw
Is Clayton Kershaw underpaid?
He just signed a two-year extension with the Dodgers that will pay him $7.5 million in 2012 and $11 million in 2013.
Average annual salary: $9.25 million.
Baseball Reference projects Kershaw as a 14-game winner. Going by somewhat conventional wisdom that starting pitchers usually earn $1 million per win, than yes, you can say he is underpaid.
Factor in the nice piece of hardware he took home last season, and the Dodgers are lucky to have him for so little. He easily deserves $15-$18 million per season.
Money Talks: Lincecum
Speaking of extensions, Tim Lincecum just signed his own little payday with the Giants.
He is slated to earn $18 million in 2012 and $22 million in 2013.
The average annual salary for that deal: $20 million.
Once again, it is worth noting that Lincecum has never won 20 games in his career, at no real fault of his own. The Giants, post-Barry Bonds, aren't exactly known as big-time run producers.
However, back to that conventional wisdom—Baseball Reference projects Lincecum as a 15-game winner; thus, he should be earning $15 million per season.
The $18 million he'll earn this season seems on point to me, but $22 million next season might be stretching that dollar.
My Prediction...
While these two pitchers are insanely close in both statistics and capabilities, I have to go with the younger lefty.
To me, being a southpaw gives Kershaw a head and shoulders advantage over Lincecum, even though The Freak has such an unconventional delivery.
As you've seen, the numbers are spot on for each player, but I truly see Kershaw continuing his development and quite possibly replicating his 21-win season from 2011.

Day 2 LM - 114.2 (+/- 0, - 2.5 of LDW)
I managed to do about 15 minutes of pilates before I got interrupted. It wasn't much but I was a little sore this morning so it was a good start. After 1 more cup of coffee, I'll go for it again. I will approach exercise the same way I'm approaching sugar and starch. I'm going to ease into all of it. I have a tendency to over do it ;) .
I got my new iPhone 4 yesterday! Gotta say, that is a nifty little gadget! Hopefully the picture quality here will improve!
Thank you Bunpoh for the award!! I should also thank Christy in Seattle for one I got way back when (I think it was Christy. If it wasn't, and it was YOU reading this, I apologize! My memory SUCKS). It's not that I don't "do" awards (insert me with my nose in the air here), it's that I'm too lazy to do anything with them! :) So thank you so much and I'm glad to follow you - your pictures are AMAZING!
Thanks for all the comments! I am feeling pretty empowered now that I am recognizing those patterns that I want to change in myself and to prevent with my children. I know exactly where they came from. Man, the programming we get as kids is POWERFUL!

GOOD! I can't wait for the update. I have the feeling you need to update to help sort out what's happening with you. It's cathartic and I know it's helping me sort through things.

The New Portuguese Table
The New Portuguese Table
By David Leite, 2009
Anyone who has ever read any of David Leite's food writings must have hoped he had a cookbook of his own doing a slow simmer on his foodie horizon. This man has a way with words, as evidenced at his award winning web site, http://www.leitesculanaria.com and now he has revealed he also has a way with "slivers of whisker-thin kale" and "slices of sausage" as well. It was just a matter of time before he served up "The New Portuguese Table", and that he has now done!
Born of Portuguese immigrants and raised in the US, it wasn't until he lost his Grandmother that he begun to pay attention to the food being cooked in his Mother's home. He was concerned that when she passed on as well, so would all the Portuguese recipes he grew up enjoying. He knew he did not want that to happen so went on a quest to watch her cook and documented her recipes.
To get in touch with his ancestral culinary heritage, he visited Portugal on vacation several times through the years before deciding to live there for a year to experience the food and the country. While becoming friends with local chefs and learning their secrets of improving old, traditional flavors with exciting new ones, he translated these techniques into how he could take his own recipes to culinary heights achievable by all cooks.
It was during that year in Portugal that his cookbook began to come together and he found that even though his mother's recipes had the same names as those he experienced in Portugal, they didn't taste quite the same. There was a food revolution going on and he was in the middle of it -- in the right place, at the right time and Leite had the finesse to convey it to all of us in The New Portuguese Table.
The recipes he captured and preserved are excellent! We've tried several of them and I know they will become family favorites that we will make over and over again. Dishes such as his Lemon-Mint Chicken Soup, the Pumpkin Soup with Spicy Seeds, Smoked Paprika Oil, and my favorite - - Eggs Simmered in Tomato Sauce. It is a simple dish, but so full of flavor that there is a risk of it replacing some old Southern favorites as my new comfort food. The Azorean Kale, Sausage, and Bean Soup (sopa de couve) he included in the cookbook was his Mother's recipe and that alone made me want to try it. Like his Dad, we also tried it for breakfast one morning and found it to be just as flavorful, comforting and sustaining as it was at dinner the evening before.
The "to try" recipes waiting for me are Sweet Lemon and Black Olive Wafers and the Green Olive Dip. The combination of those flavors in the wafers has to be as delicious as they sound and the photo alone is enough to whet the appetite. The dip is made with milk and that intrigues me enough to try it with green olives.
Regarding the photos, The New Portuguese Table is full of engaging photos, a feature that is sure to appeal to those who like to see how the food looks when prepared. The plus here is that there are many photos of the Portuguese countryside also – an open invitation to experience the Portuguese food heritage.
Beautiful food, charming countryside, delectable recipes, great cookbook! What could be better? Volume 2? The New Portuguese Table will be as important to your cookbook collection as it is to mine!

Best of the Best Fast & Fabulous Party Foods and Appetizer
"Best of the Best Fast & Fabulous Party Foods and Appetizers" is 274 pages of recipes that are delicious, easy and quick to prepare and will have your guests asking for the recipe so they too can make it for their next party.
As they usually do, QRP has placed the title of this cookbook on the plastic comb spine so it will be easy to spot on the shelf. Being comb bound it is also easy to lay flat while cooking from -- a feature cooks love.
This cookbook is all about parties and there is an alphabetical listing of parties in the front, such as Bunko or Bridge Party, Father's Day Cookout, Mardi Gras Madness, Super Bowl Party, Wine-Tasting Party, just to name a few. Then there is another index of Monthly Parties with 2 menus for each month with listing of recipes and page numbers included. There is yet another index of Quick Fixes -- recipes that are super quick, as well as fast and fabulous.
Some of the chapters that catch my attention are:
"Wet Your Whistle"
includes shakes, floats, smoothies, slushes, teas, punches, coolers, wines, and wassails.....WOW!
"Crunchy Munchies" include recipes for crackers, chips, toasts, wafers, nuts, popcorn, and snack mixes.
"Some Like It Hot" include recipes for hot dips, chafing dishes, fondues, and hot bread bowls.
"Cheese, Please" includes recipes for cheese balls, squares, cubes, crisps, nachos, quesadillas and spreads. This is the section where I found a winner called "It's a Snowman Cheese Ball" and was a huge hit over the holidays when family gathered for Christmas dinner at my house. This held them over until I could get it all on the table and everyone was asking for the recipe (copied below for you).
This cookbook is filled with celebration recipes as well it should be since it was published to celebrate Quail Ridge Press's 30th anniversary (1978-2008). Gwen McKee and Barbara Moseley have never let us down with their BoB cookbooks and they haven't this time either.
Congratulations to McKee, Moseley and Quail Ridge Press on their busy, but exciting 30 years of giving the cookbook reader what they want -- exciting, delicious, easy, quick, challenging, unusual, wonderful recipes in wonderful cookbooks.
I believe it's time to celebrate and have a party and I know where we can get some more recipes like the one below:
"It's A Snowman Cheese Ball"
2 cups shredded 4-cheese blend
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives or green onions
1 (2-ounce) package slivered almonds, toasted
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper, or to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 baby carrot
Mix cheese, cream cheese, chives, almonds, and red pepper well. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Divide mixture into 3 balls -- small, medium, and large. Roll in Parmesan cheese. Arrange on serving dish small to large, like a snowman lying down. Decorate with peppercorns for eyes, mouth, and buttons, and carrot for nose. A green onion skin strip around his neck makes a scarf. Surround with crackers or cut-up fresh vegetables. Serves 16-20.

These are in no particular order: I switch them up pretty often and sometimes try new shower gels. I've repurchased all of these. I don't really spend a lot of money on body wash because I think the cheaper ones are just as good. If I'm going to splurge, I'd buy some pricey bath oil instead!
***I couldn't find a photo...I would have drawn you a picture but I'm rubbish at that too***
Boots Extracts Brazil Nut Body Wash
£4.19 for 200ml from Boots
I love the smell of this. I think it smells more like caramel than brazil nuts but either way it makes me want to eat it! This makes my bathroom smell delicious and my skin always feels nice and clean but soft after using it. Its is more of a gel than a cream but still lathers really well and is moisturising enough for me right not but I'd want something creamier in the winter. These are usually available in a 3 for 2 offer or something similar.
No7 Blissful Body Wash
£9.00 for 200ml from Boots
I always buy one of these when I have a £5 off No7 voucher so they only cost £4.00 when I buy them. I'm not sure if I would pay £9.00 unless I was feeling really flush. This is lovely and creamy. It is very moisturising and has a nice light scent which shouldn't be too offensive to anyone. There's not much more I can say about this one. I've went through quite a few of these! This is currently part of a 3 for 2 offer in Boots.
The Body Shop - Coconut Shower Cream
£4.00 for 250ml or £5.50 for 400ml from The Body Shop
This smells lovely and I like using it alongside the Coconut Body Butter. It's not as moisturising as the No7 and it doesn't smell as good as the Boots Extracts Brazil Nut but it is a nice balance of the two.
N-Spa Raspberry Milkshake Shower and Bath Gel
£3.00 for 500ml from Asda
This smells divine. It is definitely better as a shower gel than a bubble bath (I like a lot of bubbles!). It's great value for money too! I've recently purchased the Coconut Ice Cream version of this so I'll have to wait and see if it becomes a new favourite!
M&S Essential Extracts Cocoa Butter & Vanilla Shower Gel
£1 for 250ml
I love M&S shower gels! I've tried several of them and this is my favourite scent. You can't beat this on price really! I would say that it's not really moisturising at all but skin feels clean and lightly scented after showering.
Have you tried any of these?
