I can't believe it myself but this little pot of BB Cushion changed my mind about using BB Cream for acne prone and clogging pores like mine.
This product is one of my steals from my shopping trip in MyeongDong, Seoul, South Korea – from one from one of Korea's cosmetic conglomerate "Amore Pacific". Amore Pacific has created many cosmetic lines under it, with Laneige, Innisfree, Etude House, etc being some of its more popular brands. IOPE (pronouced as "ah-ee-oh-pay") belongs to the mid to high range brands, and is sold in Aritaum (Amore Pacific outlet that carries only selected Amore Pacific products which are around mid to high range) and Watsons in Korea.
It began with my colleagues asking me to help them purchase a few Korean skin care and cosmetics. This item was on the order list because it was part of product placement in the korean drama, You Who Came From The Stars (来自星星的你). The character, ChunSongYi had used this BB Air Cushion in one of the scenes. Since this drama was heavily followed by viewers, this item was selling like hotcakes in Korea – so much so the shops had to control the quantity each customer can purchase with a single credit card!
What is BB Air Cushion?
Unlike conventional packaging for BB and CC creams, BB Air Cushion means it comes in a thick compact that carries cartridges of product which are replaceable. Within each cartridge, you will find a sponge that will help to "soak" up the BB "lotions" (I think its more like BB lotions than creams coz they tend to be a lot less thick). Each compact or refill pack will come with a purpose-made puff that you should use to "pat" or "tap" onto the BB lotion soaked sponge so that you can pick up just enough BB lotion to apply by patting lightly on your face. As the BB lotion is thin, you may layer on the product if you need more coverage. There are currently a lot of Korean Cosmetics companies who are selling BB Cushions, but I have read it somewhere, that Amore Pacific is the first company that developed BB Air Cushion and this was, accordingly, followed by other cosmetic manufacturers.
Review of Product
I did not experience any breakout since the day I started using this product. It last about 4 to 6 hours on my face if I do not spend 15 mins walking out of my office under the hot sun to grab my lunch. The layering is good and I think the sunscreen is a big plus if you live in hot and sunny places in asia. In terms of camouflaging pores, I think it has decent pore coverage (note: do not work for super large pores or scars, okie – only up to visible open pores) after you have applied it for a while – it made my skin looked good (even when I had an awful night of poor sleep quality) and healthy. I usually apply without primers.
Points to Note
One has to take note that some cosmetic sales counters will advise that their product requires you to layer on loose powder after applying their BB cushion. However, with IOPE, the sales outlets told me that I do not need to apply loose powder at all. I have tried this product in Korea and before I return to humid Singapore. It does hold better in Korea but its durability seems to also work very well in Singapore – if you do not have to walk under the hot sun to grab your lunch in the afternoon. What I like very much is that it has SPF50+/PA+++. I feel my skin turning fairer after using the BB Air Cushion XP for a month! 😀
Shade wise, one must realise that the shade for IOPE BB Air Cushion XP is not the same with other BB Air Cushion, even if the brands belong to the same Amore Pacific family. For example, N21 for Laneige BB Cushion suits me better than N21 for IOPE BB Air Cushion XP (whiter than Laneige). I had to use N23 for IOPE to get a more natural look on my face.
In a nutshell, either you test the shade at your nearby counters or purchase it cheap online or overseas to test before jumping in to stock up!
Where to Purchase IOPE BB Air Cushion XP
There aren't that many IOPE counters in the world, aside from those in USA and in Korea. Amore Pacific did not have any counters in Singapore (Amore Pacific, please bring it to Singapore!) or Malaysia, so the only way is to buy online. Couple of ways to purchase IOPE BB Air Cushion XP:
1) Qoo10 – search for "IOPE" should land you a list of vendors that carries the product. Some of them are having good discounts for the product (less than S$40 per box with a refill cartridge).
2) Google "koreandepart" – you might be able to find stocks from them
3) Ask a friend who is going to Seoul, MyeongDong to grab it for you at local rates. If he/she is able to obtain VAT refund, even better!
I hope the information is useful to you. Please share with me what you think of this product if you have tried it! 🙂

Good Friends, Good Books, and a Sleepy Conscience...
"Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience:
this is the ideal life." ~Mark Twain
|Source: Chris O'Leary Illustration
Many Saucy Readers and Wenches in the United States are preparing to celebrate the annual Thanksgiving holiday. Traditionally, we take time away from our jobs and busy schedules to gather with family and friends, prepare and consume large quantities of delicious foods in appreciation of a bountiful harvest, and contemplate the many things for which we are grateful.
Numerous Americans seem to be extremely thankful for football games, which they spend the entire weekend watching. Or shopping, which they sometimes begin as early as 12:01 A.M. on the day after Thanksgiving. Predictably, no matter what country they live in, the Wenches are thankful for the endless supply of books we have to choose from.
As we look back over the past year, we're kind of amazed at the volume and variety of books we have discovered, dissected, drooled over, and obsessively discussed together. And for the fabulous friendships that have formed from our fretting and fangirling.
So we asked each Wench to share with us the book or series she is most thankful for. It probably comes as no surprise that some Wenches refused to be limited to a single selection. But if we love so many books so much that we can't choose just one favorite, then that is a problem we are thankful to have!
Keep reading to see the books that topped our lists and share your favorites with us!
I am thankful for The Hobbit by Tolkien as well. My dad read that to me as a very small child, and that is what started me on my love of reading. Without that book, I might not have grown to love reading as I do, which means, I wouldn't have met all of these amazing Wenches.
I have so many books to be thankful for this year, but I am going to go with the Downside Ghosts series by Stacia Kane. This dark, gritty, disturbing, yet beautiful series forced me to look at the world differently while allowing me to truly appreciate the beauty within the hideousness. I know that this series has forever changed what I value in a book, in a series, and I am so thankful.
I'm going with the Harry Potter series. I picked up The Chamber of Secrets in a children's toy store back in 1998. I had a seven-year-old son who had zero interest in reading, and I was pulling my hair out. I saw this book on a table near the cash register and thought I'd give it a try. I hadn't even heard of it before then. We read to him every night at bedtime, and it wasn't long before he was the one reading to us. Harry Potter has made a huge, positive impact on both of my children, and for that I am so thankful.
I'm most grateful for the Harry Potter series because my kids are finally getting to an age where they can enjoy a series that I love as well. Watching them discover a new world as I read to them brings me such joy, and I'm thankful for the books, but most of all for the experience!
The Fever series! It's the only book series I continue to think about and reread, and I'm happy to have discovered it, thanks to some Wenches.
Right now, I am thankful for the Fever series and Karen Marie Moning. She really opened my mind to the UF/PNR world, and I KNOW I will always be into the Fever world. And now I have Dani's story to look forward to! This series also brought me closer to a few of the AMAZING Saucy Fever Wenches.
I know you will laugh at me but I have to thank Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. It's fluffy and silly and YA, but Twilight re-awakened my desire to read. Only after Twilight have I become a reading machine. I also love the Fever series and Karen Marie Moning; this woman spoiled me rotten with her amazing writing. There will be no other book series as good as Fever. Not in this lifetime.
I am thankful for the Southern Vampire Mysteries that brought us together and the many books we have discovered together since, most notably the Fever and Outlander series. Shadowfever is the one book I am most thankful for. Outlander is the series I am most thankful for. It brightens my long, gray winter days with wit and wisdom. It lets me share the remarkable journey of two amazing characters and some colorful sidekicks who truly feel like members of my own family. I would miss them terribly if they were no longer part of my life. Outlander also serves as an inspiration and practical how-to guide for creating and nurturing a good marriage, with passion, patience, laughter, kindness, respect, open and honest communication, tenderness, spontaneity, fierceness, dare I say sauciness, and a love that never wavers throughout decades of turmoil and adventure.
I guess I'm most thankful for the Southern Vampire Mysteries series. I got to meet all of the Wenches because of it!
I am thankful for the Southern Vampire Mysteries series because it introduced me to the Sookieverse Blog, where I met a bunch of wonderful ladies who introduced me Barrons and Bones and Cat and Mac and Dani and Ty and Zane and Vishous and Zsadist and... and... and who brought me along on a journey that includes the Saucy Wenches Book Club.
There's our list, Saucy Readers! Do you have a book or series, new or old, that you're thankful for this week?

Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes are more common than ever!
A diagnosis of pre-diabetes indicates that your blood sugar levels are 100-125 milligrams per deciliter via the fasting plasma glucose test (people with diabetes have blood sugar levels of 126 mg/dL or more). This means that you're likely to develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years unless you adopt a healthier lifestyle.
You may always be inching toward the edge, but Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease: You can always watch where you're stepping. By losing a mere 7 percent of your body weight by using body fat monitor, avoiding added simple sugars by taking sugar free recipes , added syrups, any grain but 100 percent whole grains, saturated and trans fats and exercising only 150 minutes a week, you can bring your blood-sugar levels back to normal. If you're normal, you're, well, normal. You technically don't have prediabetes, though you'll always have the genes for it and will be at risk. But you'll never have to have the disease or its consequences. It is important to know if you have prediabetes, because research has shown that some long-term complications associated with diabetes – such as heart disease and nerve damage – may begin during prediabetes.
The good news is that studies show that people with pre-diabetes can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes with a combination of reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, choosing healthy foods and meals for diabetics, and getting regular exercise. Your doctor may also want you to use medications to delay the onset of diabetes. Research has shown that if you take steps to manage your blood glucose with Blood Glucose Test Strips when you have prediabetes, you can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes from developing. You may be able to reduce blood glucose levels with simple lifestyle changes, such as increasing your physical activity and enjoying a healthy, low-fat meal plan.
Losing Weight
A weight loss of as little as 5% to 10% can make a big difference in your blood sugar levels because it reduces insulin resistance. To find the right diabetic diet meals plans for you, talk to your doctor or nutritionist.
Making Healthy Food Choices
To choose healthy foods for yourself and your family, follow these basic principles:
- Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, especially non-starchy vegetables and sugar free recipes for diabetics like green beans, spinach, and carrots.
- Select whole grain breads, rice, and pasta.
- Don't forget dried beans and lentils.
- Have fish 2-3 times a week.
- Think lean when you select cuts of meat, and remove the skin from chicken and turkey.
- Go for low-fat and non-fat dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese.
- Avoid regular soda and other sweetened drinks. Instead, drink water and calorie-free diet drinks.
- Eat fats in moderation, and avoid trans fats.
Getting Exercise
Try to exercise for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week. Which type of exercise is best? Anything that gets you up and moving. That includes jogging, swimming, biking, aerobics, walking, and dancing. You can also count strenuous housework like vacuuming and washing floors and windows, and yard work such as mowing the lawn with a push mower or gardening and after that monitor your fat with omron body fat analyzer.
In conjunction with these lifestyle changes, your doctor may recommend medication, such as metformin and another group of drugs called thiazolidinediones, which have been shown to delay the onset of diabetes.

They'll Catch Up On You
They'll Capture Up On You
Tax obligations – As well as Your Online Business
( They'll Capture Up On You).
Working online is starting to be a much.
favored way of transacting business both by the.
vendors and also the customers not just since it is way a lot more.
hassle-free compared to real buying but also due to the fact that it.
provides an opportunity for a tax-free business deal.
to take place.
Nonetheless, the delighted days of negotiating company.
without worrying about the tax obligations that come along with.
it will certainly soon more than because on July 1, 2008,.
Washington will certainly be joining 18 various other states in America.
that oblige specific online or shopping companies to.
pay as well as collect sale tax obligations.
Source: Flickr
If you have an on-line business or if you are intending.
to begin one, then you will certainly additionally be needed to.
gather tax obligations from your consumers or costumers if ever.
you are staying in a state that requires you to pay.
tax obligations.
A State Law Come on 2007.
The adjustments to be applied on July 1 are the outcome.
of a state legislation come on 2007. The particular state regulation.
changes the means the tax obligations are computed – a significant.
alteration that stimulates some headaches and complication.
among all on-line sellers.
Take this scenario for instance: if you determine to shop.
and also purchase in a shop or store, you are obliged to.
pay the tax rate relying on where the shop is.
situated. However, if you make a decision to have the stuffs.
that you purchased supplied to your doorstep, you are.
required to spend for the tax obligation price of your state.
In technical terms, the tax obligation system will be transformed.
from origin-based to destination-based.
The Tax Is Not Imposed On The Business.
Yes, you read that right – the tax is not levied on.
the business, instead, it is levied on the part of the.
consumer. It is the responsibility of on the internet businesses to.
gather tax obligation from its customers and also remit it to the.
The government is purely issuing penalties for.
businesses that cannot comply with the legislation.
Online companies are not excused from this legislation, in.
reality, more law enforcers and agents are being sent out to.
check on the legitimacy of on-line stores and also businesses.
One usual Web myth is that the Internet Tax.
Freedom Act permits online businesses from being.
excuseded from collecting sales tax from their.
consumers. It is absolutely considered as one huge myth.
because in truth, it does not in fact stop the.
states from collecting sales tax obligation on online businesses.
and various other e-commerce.
Sure, the Web Tax Freedom Act does not enforce.
sales tax obligation on Internet accessibility charges yet aside from that,.
tax obligations are already imposed.
When You Make Money Online, You Need to Pay Taxes When.
you earn, you actually have to pay taxes; it's a recognized.
fact as well as perhaps what we could call a bittersweet.
reality. Sure, it may be a bit tough on our component.
to give up a component of our hard-earned cash for tax.
charges yet the fact is, every person is doing so.
All income-generating companies as well as stores are.
required to pay their due tax obligations. A regulation is a legislation and also it.
have to be adhered to at all expenses. Some people that are.
associated with online businesses try to doge their.
tax-paying obligations. They believe they are wise.
enough to be able to escape their tax-paying duties.
yet the fact is, they'll enter further difficulty once.
the federal government discovers their grunt work. If you desire.
to be effective in your carrer as an online.
businessman/woman, aim to be as tidy and also sincere as.
you can with your tax obligations and also your online business.

RIP: William Tenn
Science Fiction Fans
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
Phillip Klass, who wrote as William Tenn, has passed away, according to the William Tenn web site.
Back in the early 70's, Mr. Klass gave a summer course on science fiction at Stanford University that I attended. A great set of lectures with a great set of guest speakers, like Ted Sturgeon and Harry Harrison. But it was the many hours I spent in his office talking about science fiction that I remember. A really smart and nice man, and author of some great satirical SF.
I'm sad to hear that, though I see he was 89 and appeared (from the photographs and info at the site) to be active at least as recently as 2004, so I hope he had a good life. Many of us could do far, far worse.
Okay, so I have a William Tenn story. When I was a wee one, Of Men and Monsters was a big hit among my rural southern but sci-fi book loving family. Somehow a copy made its way into our hands and was read my my father, both brothers and some other members of the family. Alas, I was a bit too young to appreciate it and never got to read it. It's rumored to have last been in the hands of a cousin when it got mislaid.
They still talked about it decades later. But living in a small town, they didn't really have access to many big libraries. To my knowledge, it wasn't reprinted very widely and I was never aware of anything other than a paperback copy. When I told them I managed to check out a copy to read from my university's library, they only half jokingly shouted "Why didn't you steal it!" Such was their desire to see this book again. I enjoyed it quite a bit, with it being very much in the style of the 60s conan-ish scifi, but with some great commentary on the proper ecological niche of humans.
So then a few years ago I got the bright idea of tracking down copies via Abe and other online booksellers. I had never seen a copy in my frequent trips to used bookstores, so I had to go a bit out of my way. That Christmas, I presented both brothers their very own copies in quite nice shape with the original artwork we remembered. They were overjoyed. One brother immediately started reading it and could not be pried away for the rest of the night.
So even though I never read a lot of his fiction, Mr. Tenn/Klass played a significant role in my families mythology. I think I'll shift the unread copy of The Square Root of Man to the top of my reading pile in honor of him.
brightcopy, what a lovely story. A few years ago I had the privilege of hearing him read his "On Venus, Have We Got a Rabbi" at Boskone. His reading style was a great match to the wit of the story.
When we saw him at the Worldcon in Boston (2004?), he was very frail, and very forgetful.
My copy of Of Men and Monsters saw the light of day just last week when I finally got around to cataloguing it.
I actually have two copies of OMAM - one with the cover I remember from my youth and one with a different cover that I found before getting the other one.
Sadly, my library has no copies of OMAM at any of its branches. I would donate it, but first off it's a paperback and that doesn't bode well for it at a library. But the other reason it'd never make it to the shelf is something I found out from the librarian yesterday. They won't take a book unless they have multiple copies of it. Otherwise, they say it's too labor intensive to enter into the system as well as to lend to other libraries in the system (i.e. if they only have one, people will keep requesting it to be moved to their local one so they can check it out.)
Trying to decide between sticking it on the shelf at Potbelly or at Dunn Bros (local coffee shop) or giving it away on craigslist along with some other books my library has no copies of.
Wasn't it William Tenn who wrote that wonderful short story, "The Liberation of Earth"? It's still so relevant to any nation fighting a war to "liberate" others.

The poet, Ka, finds himself caught up in a love affair as well as political turmoil, in a remote snow-bound city in eastern Turkey. His story personalises the present conflict caused by the tensions between Western and Islamist principles.
Ka marvelled at the snow-laden branches of the oleanders and the plane trees, and at the icicles hanging from the sides of the electricity poles feeding the pale orange light of the streetlamps, and the dying neon bulbs behind the icy shop windows

Three more for Rex Ryan, three more games until he'll most likely have to wave the white flag as head coach of the New York Jets.
The Jets, 2-11, are coming off an overtime loss in Minnesota that provided more proof why it's time once again for a change.
When asked if he's made peace with the thought of the end being near, his response sounded much like the bravado of the old Rex Ryan (Cimini, Dec 8th).
"I'm not conceding anything, man … I'm not going anywhere. I know I've got three weeks, and here we come."
As bad as it's been for the Jets, Ryan's loyalty to owner Woody Johnson has been admirable. It's reasonable to conclude that Ryan will be among those receiving pink slips from Johnson after the season, however Ryan's still quick to shoulder all of the blame for what's gone wrong.
I'll say this much for Ryan, he's as loyal a coach as there is out there, that could go a long way in helping him with his future endeavors. That's if it comes to that, as expected.

The Human Rights Educators
Starter Kit
The Purpose of This Kit.
The aim of this kit is to provide some key ideas to help
individuals and community organisations to establish local
human rights education activities. The materials have been produced
by the National Committee on Human Rights Education, which
has been designated as Australia's national focal point for
human rights education.
What is Human Rights Education?
Many of us would like to contribute to a community that is
more caring, more united, more just, more tolerant and more
understanding. We are also looking for ways we can make a
difference. The struggles we face today are the same ones
that the world has faced since the adoption of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
Human rights education aims to make the Universal Declaration
real and effective in our everyday lives.
Human Rights Education can include any activity which increases
awareness of and understanding of human rights. "Education"
is a broad term and includes activities in schools, community
and the workplace. Individuals, community organizations, businesses
and government bodies can all contribute to human rights education.
Human Rights Education includes:
· "knowledge" - information about human rights;
· "values" - attitudes and beliefs which
uphold human rights; and
· "action" - giving people the tools and
encouragement to be effective defenders of human rights.
What are Human Rights and Who Has Them?
We sometimes think about human rights as applying to other
people and other countries. In fact, we all have human rights
and each one of us can play a role in upholding human rights.
Human rights are the basic minimum standards of individual
and community that make societies happy and caring places
to live. Human rights include the ideas:
· That we are all equal members of one human family
that should care for each other.
· We should all treat each other fairly and equally
without regard to our race, colour, sex, language or religion
or other status.
· We all have the right to safety, to life and to freedom.
· We should all have the same rights and to the protection
of the law.
· We all have the right to family.
· We all have a right to work and to an adequate standard
of living and to access to education and health.
· We all have responsibilities to the community.
The United Nations and Human Rights Education.
1995-2004 was designated by the United Nations General
Assembly as the UN Decade for Human Rights Education. The
aim of the Decade is to promote human rights around the world
by improvement of education about human rights. As part of
the Decade the United Nations has adopted a "Plan of
Action" which can be implemented at international, regional,
national and local level.
Some things you can do at local level to advance human rights
education include:
· Getting together a group of people or organizations
committed to working on human rights education initiatives.
· Discussing human rights issues as they relate to
the local community - defining the needs - look at what human
rights education might already be happening.
· Make sure your community has a good celebration of
Human Rights Day on 10 December every year.
· As a group, and in cooperation with others such as
schools, business and local government, develop and implement
human rights education programs.

I've been looking for the best vacuum for long hair as I have two daughters with beautiful long hair. It's really irritating and sometimes embarrassing to have fallen hair everywhere in your home. It's even harder to clean these desperate little evils. Don't even ask if a family has few female members and pets.
I have a friend always complaining about how hard it is to clean all the hair every day and the amount of time she spends on it. So after talking with real consumer families who face this kind of problems and heard their complaints I've done some research. I've got many ideas about how they clean their home and also sensitive places like carpets to get rid of long hair. To be more specific you need a specialized vacuum that picks up hair. Finally found some good vacuums for long hair.
There are few vacuum cleaners that actually can help. These vacuum cleaners have good review from thousands of users and latest features that work like magic on your dirty floors or carpets. Here are the best vacuum cleaners for long hair.
Best Vacuum for Long Hair 2020
|Dyson Ball Animal
|Corded Upright
|Bissell Pet Hair Eraser
|Corded Upright
|Hoover Vacuum Cleaner WindTunnel MAX Pet Plus
|Corded Upright
|Shark Cordless Pet Perfect II Hand Vac
|Cordless Handheld
|Eureka Mighty Mite with Pet Attachments
|Corded Canister
Things to Consider Before Buying Long Hair Vacuum For Your Home:
While cleaning long hair, you must have noticed that there are lots of difficulties you need to face during this type of cleaning. If any of your family has long hair or you have pets with long hair, you should consider these things before buying a vacuum.
* Cordless or Corded:
First of all, the hair is everywhere. From the small spaced corners to your favorite rug and carpets. It's very easy to find hair anywhere. So, you must buy a vacuum that can reach anywhere. You have a plus point if it's cordless. No problem if it has a cord, just make sure the hose and the power cords are long enough. To clean the stairs and the corners, some vacuums include small turbo brushes. I think these small brushes and extra nozzles are very effective.
* Suction Power:
It is very important to have a good amount of suction and air flow in the vacuum cleaner. Long hairs are usually hard to pick up. They get stuck in things, especially in rugs and carpets. The high power suction ensures to pick up hair from each tough So, if you need a vacuum that picks up hair, you need to look for good suction power.
* Tangle Free Brush Roll:
I'd like to mention a crucial thing here. I am suggesting these vacuums for long pet or human hair. If you have pets, like dogs or cats or even other animals with long hair, you must have faced a common problem. That is a disgusting tangled brush roll. People keep saying that after one or two weeks of usage the brush roll gets stuck with tangled hair and they need to clean it manually. So, what you have to do is open the brush roll and cut or pull out all the remaining hair from it. It's quite disgusting. If you have asthma problems, then trust me you cannot deal with it regularly.
To solve that problem there are few companies who modified their vacuum cleaners in such a way that automatically cleans the brush roll. For example, Dyson's new tangle free turbine tool is pretty good with any long thin materials. Like Dyson, there are other vacuum cleaners that come with these tools. Hoover's Wind Tunnel 3 comes with a Pet Turbo Tool. Bissell contains a technology through which there is the least amount of hair in the brush roll. Eureka Brush Roll Clean has a separate button that cleans up automatically the left amount of hair.
* Canister or Upright:
Along with the above points, you should consider the basic needs of your home from a vacuum cleaner. Some people prefer Canister Vacuum; some prefer Upright Vacuum. To pick up hair with vacuum cleaner you can use both types. For frequent use, handheld and stick are also considerable. But Handheld and stick vacuums are usually not as powerful as the other two types.
If you have numbers of rugs or carpets in the house, you should consider taking a carpet efficient vacuum cleaner. Read some more suggestions for vacuum cleaners that work well with carpets and rugs.

Top 5 Long Hair Vacuum Cleaners
1. Dyson Ball Animal with Turbo Brush Tool
This is a very powerful and multi-tasking bagless vacuum launched recently. The very popular brand Dyson brought this strong vacuum cleaner with 270 AW suction power. I can personally say, I have never seen so much suction power in any of the vacuum cleaners in my research. It literally can pull strong enough to clean the most desperate dirt. Also, those who are worried about their carpets and rugs, this is the best vacuum for hair on carpet. The powerful suction can easily pull up hair from thick piles fo the carpet.
The cord is 35 ft, and the whole machine can reach up to 50 ft. The additional stair tool and combination tool are good and handy for regular specific jobs. But my favorite is Dyson Tangle Free Vacuum Turbine Tool. This additional tool literally makes the difference. If you are looking for the best vacuum for long pet hair, you are going to love it.
This Dyson Ball Animal contains the whole machine HEPA filtration to ensure no allergens can get out of the device. It can contain .55 gallons of dirt and one push button to empty the bin. Also, the noise is very reasonable. So if you are looking for the best vacuum to pick up hair from your sofa, floor, carpet or rugs, I'll suggest having this one. It is a powerful vacuum & good vacuum for hair cleaning.
This vacuum comes with a 5 years warranty and comes with a high price range as the other models of Dyson. My suggestion goes with this Dyson because the price is worth it. If you are not a budget concern, then it is the best choice for you.
2. Bissell Pet Hair Eraser
So, this is the one that I call the best vacuum for long hair on the carpet. Bissell bagless pet hair eraser works like magic on carpets. The brush can pull up long dog hairs without leaving a single hair on a carpet. My neighbor is currently using this vacuum. He has three dogs, and he said it is a good choice to get rid of dog hair left everywhere in his house.
Another reason I have chosen this device for is the Tangle Free Brush Roll. It is well known as a good tangle free vacuum. The Brush Roll Contains the least amount of hair comparing the other ordinary models. So you do not have to deal with the tangled hair in the brush roll anymore.
The Brush on/off system makes it easy to work on multi-surface. The 3 pet tools with the quick release wand work good in corners and specific places. It is a bit noisy vacuum which I do not like much. But I love the amount of dirt it can pull from furniture & carpets.
3. Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Wind Tunnel MAX Pet Plus
Buying a Hoover Vacuum Cleaner is always a value purchase. You don't need to spend too much out of your pocket, and still, you can get the performance from its products. Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Wind Tunnel MAX Pet Plus is one of those vacuum cleaners. This one will not cost like Dyson's most powerful models but will provide you the performance near to them. This bagless vacuum can pick up hair from the hardest place to reach. If you are looking for the best vacuum for hair on carpet and doesnot cost much then you can consider buying this powerful vacuum. It also includes a Pet Turbo Tool that is good with hair. The extra brushes are also very good and reachable any hard places.
The one thing that I love about this device is the 40 ft cord. If you have a big house, then this extra length will work like haven. I know how irritating it can be if your vacuum cleaner cannot reach places. The brushes help to clean stairs, curtains, window sills, etc. easily. This vacuum is good for allergen-sensitive people because it has HEPA filters.
It has few negative points that I did not like. It is a bit weighty to handle. But if you are operating with the long hose then it is a lot easier. So this vacuum is perfect for a house full of furniture with lots of corner spaces. Another thing, it has no tangle hair solution. So after using the pet turbo tool or the brush roll to vacuum long hair you have to clean the left hair from the brush manually.
4. Shark Cordless Pet Perfect II Hand Vac
If you are more comfortable with a handy little vacuum then this one is for you. I have seen many consumers ask for an effective but handy. Many also want to have a cordless carry around the house whenever they want a vacuum that is available in the market. If you think only heavy duty vacuums can pick up hair and these small devices can't then it's not right. Shark Cordless Pet Perfect ll can pick up long pet hair, but you cannot trust this one for heavy use.
This can be an excellent choice for a budget purchase. It is one of my favorite vacuums that can fit in a tight pocket. And you can solve long hair problem with it. But make sure you do not have 3 or 4 pets or person in your home with long hair. For heavy duty, it may disappoint you but regarding flexibility, it will not. This is one of the best light anywhere use type vacuum for me.
5. Eureka Mighty Mite
I always love Canister vacuums. Canister vacuums' only drawback for me is changing the bag can sometimes be costly. Other than that I love the flexibility of the Canister Vacuums. I think these are easy to operate.
Eureka Mighty Mite is one of those easy to use yet powerful and budget-friendly vacuums. Its 12 amps machine can pull up long hair with the pet hair brush tool. It is lightweight and easy to use. The bagged feature I do not like can be useful to the people who have dust allergies. Also, this comes with HEPA filter and again excellent for people with allergy problems.
So this is a convenient and effective vacuum that has the power to pull off your long hair from the carpets and floor. And you have to pay quite a small amount to acquire this vacuum with all these features.
Hope I could help you with the reviews and my findings. If you are still confused here is the specifications comparison chart to help you decide what you need.

I am not gay; Amissah-Arthur defends integrity

The nominee told Parliament's Appointments Committee Monday, media reports suggesting he is gay, were nothing but a fabrication by some disgruntled persons who tried to extort money from him.
There were reports in sections of the media that Mr Amissah-Arthur is a homosexual. The allegations gained currency particularly in the past week following his nomination as vice to president John Mahama.
After days of such publications, the vice presidential nominee responded to the allegations for the first time when he appeared before the Appointments Committee.
The Member of Parliament for Bekwai, Joe Osei-Owusu brought up the issue during the vetting and asked if the nominee cared to comment.
He told committee members the libelous reports against him were masterminded by an old school mate who fell out with him after he (Amissah-Arthur) refused to give him money.
"It is not true, it is absolutely not true. I have not seen this gentleman for 40 something years. I saw him once just for about two minutes. He came to my house to ask for money and I gave him a little money and I have not seen him again.
"It absolutely cannot be true of the claims that are being made," he stated.
He said it had been difficult to take legal action to clear his name because his accusers avoided mentioning his name and instead, resorted to innuendos.
He suspected his accusers were seeking to blackmail him in order to extort some money from him but he insisted he will not give a dime to any miscreant wanting to take advantage of him.

Welcome to Thumbs Up Thursday…I finished at one of my jobs for Spring semester today and only have a couple of weeks left at my other job and then its official: "School's out for SUMMER!" So, I thought I would dedicate this Thumbs Up Thursday to summer.
First Thumbs Up goes to spray on sunscreen!
And when I think about it, it is strange that I would pick this because Bean won't let me actually spray it on her, so I have to spray it on my hand and then put it on her (which is probably safer than spraying it at her). So, it really isn't any different than the lotion stuff usage-wise, but for some reason I just like it a lot better. First off, it doesn't seem to be nearly as messy as lotion. And second, it is nice and cool when you spray it, unlike the lotion that gets hot on sunny days in my bag. Finally, it just seems cooler to me. So, there ya go.
With the 90 degree weather we've been having for the past few days we've definitely busted out the sunscreen early this year!
Lipton Iced Tea Bags
It is the simple things in life right? These babies save me a ton of money each and every day. We make multiple pitchers in a day usually and if we had to buy iced teas out all the time, we would go broke just drinking iced teas!
Dakaro Sangiovese Wine
I tried this last night at our local wine bar, "Wine Time" and I loved it! And it is really reasonably priced. Definitely will be drinking it again!
There is a lot right now that I would give a thumbs down to (its been one of THOSE days), but I will hold on to the positives and leave it at that!
What would you give a thumbs up to today?

Algeria's former foreign minister Ahmed Taleb Ibrahimi yesterday agreed "in principle" to lead his country's transitional phase following calls by the Al-Hirak Al-Shaabi — "Popular Movement" – party, Anadolu Agency has reported.
Ibrahimi's announcement came after calls by demonstrators across Algeria's cities have urged him "to supervise the 90-day interim period."
"Thanks to everyone who has honoured me with their confidence by proposing my name at the demonstrations," the agency quoted Ibrahimi as saying.
I will put my humble experience at the disposal of all those who love the homeland until sovereignty returns to the country's legitimate authority – the people," he added.

The 87-year-old former official served as foreign minister from 1982 to 1988.
Algeria's long-serving president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, resigned early last month following several weeks of nationwide popular protests against his 20-year rule.
Abdelkader Bensalah, a former speaker of parliament, is currently serving as interim president for a 90-day transitional period overseen by the army. But demonstrators have remained in the streets, demanding the departure of all Bouteflika-era officials, including Bensalah.

Neurofeedback comes in many types and some could also be more practical than others. We use a 19-channel Z-Score Neurofeedback reasonably than different places that do classes with solely 2-6 channels,this allows us to maximise your outcomes. Our in-home experts have get hold of rigorous coaching and are consistently updating their methodologies to mirror evidenced-based neuroscience and provide you with the most efficient final result. Your first session is an hour lengthy appointment to obtain a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) 'brain map' that safely and non-invasively reads the brains electrical activity. Utilizing advanced technology and statistical analysis,we get hold of a 3-D LORETA (low decision brain electromagnetic tomography) and combine those photos with conventional brain maps and assess areas of inefficient activity and connectivity within your brain. Next we develop a complete,individualized remedy technique in tiers that address inefficient functioning and desired behavioral and performance outcomes equivalent to improved attention,decrease hyperactivity,diminished obsessiveness,improved mood,or higher auditory processing. Final,we review the outcomes with you in a suggestions session and define our plan for finest outcomes. A qEEG can be a separate appointment or together with more complete testing. The classes are non-invasive and final about forty five minutes every.
It is proposed to counterbalance genetic and environmental tendencies by studying to change brain wave patterns. Neurofeedback describes strategies of offering suggestions about neuronal activity,as measured by electroencephalogram (EEG) biofeedback or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),in order to teach patients to self-regulate brain activity. Neurofeedback might make the most of a number of strategies in an try to normalize unusual patterns of brain operate in patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders,equivalent to attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),autism spectrum disorder,substance abuse,epilepsy,and insomnia. One more type of biofeedback is Coronary heart Fee Variability (HRV) biofeedback. It is a comparatively new technique for coaching folks to alter the variability and dominant rhythms of their coronary heart activity. Analysis is ongoing making use of HRV biofeedback strategies to quite a lot of medical and psychiatric circumstances,including: anger,anxiety disorders,asthma,cardiovascular circumstances includinmg coronary heart failure,chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD),depression,irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),chronic fatigue,and chronic ache. The American Academy of Neurology's recommendations for the analysis and remedy of migraine complications states that behavioral and physical interventions are used for preventing migraine episodes reasonably than for alleviating signs as soon as an assault has begun.
In trying to proceed to assist Jonathan enhance his expertise and get better from autistic signs equivalent to language delay,flat voice and some verbal stims,we determined to do one other loop of auditory processing therapy. He did 7 loops 3 years ago. Every loop was eight days with a 2 month break. This therapy is a bit totally different and it is targeting his areas of concerns. It also runs for 10 days and his subsequent session (or re-analysis) would be in 6 months. He has had 3 classes already. The therapists are giving constructive suggestions. Nonetheless,it is difficult to tell if it is helping. As any therapy,we want to wait just a few days or weeks after it is over to see outcomes. We are again to Hyperbarics Oxygen Therapy. It was a last minute choice based on our frustration from our assembly with Youngsters's Hospital,our rush in opposition to time,and our continued drive to get better Jonathan. Neurofeedback Therapy provides the individual a software with which to alter the level of various varieties of electrical activity in the brain,which could also be functioning abnormally. Research have proven that after the brain learns to regulate itself,it continues to do so. The brain is amazingly adaptable and able to studying. Analysis has proven that in treating disorders,biology have to be addressed for remedy to be efficient and lengthy-lasting. Analysis has proven that individuals with ADD/ADHD have excessive gradual brain waves (theta) and not sufficient fast wave activity (beta) during activities requiring focus. Neurofeedback Therapy trains individuals to increase beta and decrease theta activity in an effort to normalize the brain wave activity associated with main ADD/ADHD. This natural approach provides the brain with a greater,more efficient pattern for normal functioning,leading to decreased signs of ADD/ADHD and different neurological based disorders. Better grades and improved relationships present fast boost of self-esteem. Know more about this here neurofeedback for adhd

Bird Question
A Request For A Big Anniversary
On July 1st, 2008, Rish and I posted our very first installment of the Dunestef Audio Fiction Magazine. We've been through an awful lot since those days. Lots of ups and downs. Sometimes ups outnumber the downs, but not in Nottingham.
This summer will mark the 10th anniversary of that first podcast. It's hard to believe that so much time has passed. We've hit various milestones over the years, like 100 episodes and the like, but for the most part, we haven't done anything celebratory for any of those big accomplishments (wait, I think that might not be the right word. Is there a word for not giving up even though you totally should have?). But Rish had an idea that for our 10th anniversary, we could do some kind of an AMA episode. If you're not hip with the jargon, that stands for Ask Me Anything.
So, if you've ever wondered something about Big and Rish, about the Dunesteef, about that time when Rish took his pants off in front of Ryan Reynolds, or any other subject, throw it in an email to editor at dunesteef dot com, or reply in the comments, or put it on the forum, and we'll coagulate all those comments...wait I think that's the wrong word again, but eff it, I'm going with it...and we'll answer them on our big anniversary show. Thanks in advance for participating.

Anklecast Failure
Then, a while later, after the phone was cool, I tried to review the recording. There was a thumbnail for it, but when I clicked, it wouldn't load. Now there's not even a thumbnail anymore.
I think the file must have gotten corrupted because of the heat. I'll check it on my computer when I get home tonight, but I'm guessing it's probably completely lost. The hot sun shining in through the windshield was too much.
Maybe I need to do all my Anklecasts at night instead. I guess I could try that on my way home tonight.

Here, they had a similar egg hunt, but there were dozens of other activities on top of that. There was free popcorn and snowcones, face painting, balloon animals, bouncy houses, a thing they called bubble soccer:
Though they never bothered with the soccer part, they just had the kids run around and bash into each other in the bubbles...
Then the particularly Texan thing they had, a mechanical bull for the kids to ride:
They also had a tiny little baby bouncy house there:

Ontario Government Expanding Cancer Care Treatment in Hamilton
Local Investment Will Help End Hallway Health Care
HAMILTON — Patients battling cancer in Hamilton are waiting too long to access life-saving treatments. That's why Ontario's Government for the People is expanding local access to stem cell transplants as part of its commitment to invest $27 billion over the next 10 years in building hospital infrastructure.
Today, Donna Skelly, MPP for Flamborough—Glanbrook was at Hamilton Health Sciences - Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre on behalf of Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, to mark the start of construction for an expanded stem cell transplant unit.
"Our government is expanding access to stem cell transplant procedures in Hamilton to provide faster and closer access to life saving treatment for patients with cancer," said Skelly. "When completed, this newly-expanded facility will help reduce the number of Ontario patients who have to go out-of-province for these services. Projects like these are part of our government's plan to modernize Ontario's public health care system and end hallway health care."
Ontario is investing up to $25 million towards expanding the stem cell transplant unit at the Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre that is expected to open in 2021. Patients can expect to benefit from:
- A new 15-bed inpatient unit for patients undergoing stem cell transplants and other complex malignant hematology cancer treatments.
- Expanded oncology day services, including 11 additional treatment bays and a renovated pharmacy to support the growth of the expanded stem cell transplant program.
- Upgraded electrical and emergency generator systems to handle the increase in power load from the expanded stem cell transplant program.
"This new facility is going to make a real difference in the lives of patients and families in Hamilton who need life-saving stem cell treatment," said Skelly. "This investment is a perfect example of the types of health infrastructure projects that will help build capacity, provide specialized supports and help end hallway health care in Ontario."
"Hamilton Health Sciences thanks the Government of Ontario for this investment to increase access to life-saving cancer care and stem cell transplants for the people of Ontario," said Rob MacIsaac, President and CEO, Hamilton Health Sciences. "The expansion of our full service stem cell transplant program, one of only three in Ontario, builds on the proud history of cancer treatment that continues to evolve in Hamilton. Our expanded facility will include a new, state-of-the-art suite with 15 additional inpatient rooms and five new outpatient rooms, allowing us to provide care for more patients every year and to advance our abilities to provide new therapies."
Quick Facts
- Hamilton Health Sciences has the following hospital sites: Hamilton General Hospital, Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre, McMaster University Medical Centre and Children's Hospital, St. Peter's Hospital, and West Lincoln Memorial Hospital.
- A stem cell transplant is a procedure that replaces defective or damaged cells in patients whose normal cells have been affected by lymphoma, leukemia, myeloma and other cancers and disorders affecting the blood.

Press Releases
Larsen Recognizes National Career and Technical Education Month
Washington, DC, February 7, 2018
Tags: Education
Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) joined his House colleagues in introducing a resolution recognizing February as National Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month.
"Creativity in the classroom is happening in schools across Northwest Washington," said Larsen. "Last week, I toured Emerson Elementary's third grade technology classroom where students learn through hands-on engineering activities. Classes like this connect young people with the skills they need to compete in the global workforce. That is why I am pleased to join my colleagues in recognizing National CTE Month."
The resolution recognizes the importance of CTE and encourages educators, counselors, career development professionals, and parents to promote CTE as an option for students.
During the 2015-16 school year, more than 313,300 high school students and over 165,500 two-year college students were enrolled in CTE programs in Washington state. Nationwide, there are currently 12 million students enrolled in CTE career academies, CTE centers, and two-year colleges.
Larsen has consistently been a proponent of CTE and STEM education. He introduced the Youth Access to American Jobs Act to help create a pathway for students in their junior year of high school through community college and into apprenticeship programs.
Last week, Larsen participated in several Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) and CTE related events across the Second District. Larsen attended the first ever Snohomish STEM Summit to hear from different sectors of the workforce, STEM leaders and legislators. Larsen talked with Stanwood High School students about apprenticeships and entering into the workforce after graduation. He also met members of Emerson Elementary School's First Lego League Teams, a hands-on program to get students interested in STEM through engineering challenges, like building LEGO-based robots.
Text of the resolution can be found HERE.

Where homes are affordable
Residents who live in these 25 growing towns see their incomes go the furthest.
Median home price: $152,000
Median family income (per year): $77,214
What the heck happened to Joliet? As early as the 1980s the one-time steel town's unemployment rate tipped past 25% and it was hemorrhaging people. No more. Now the joint is jumping with a population increase of 37% since 2000.
The key is its transformation into a bedroom community for Chicago, 40 miles northeast. Many affluent migrants have made the move, and there's a fine choice of reasonably priced homes. A typical 2,000-square-foot home in good condition now costs less than $190,000.

St. Matthew School, the only Catholic PreK-8 school in Williamson County, will offer an inclusive Catholic education program to students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, beginning in the 2020-2021 school year.
The Hand-In-Hand Options program was started at John Paul II High School in 2004 to offer academic opportunities to families with students of all learning levels to attend school together. The Hand-in-Hand program was later extended to St. Ann School for elementary and middle grades during the 2017-2018 school year. Next year, St. Matthew will be the first private school in Williamson County to offer this type of program. With the Hand-In-Hand program, families in Williamson County now have a choice for keeping students together with their siblings and peers throughout their school careers.
"As a Catholic community, we are called to provide a supportive and inclusive faith-based community where all students can learn and grow in their faith while receiving the necessary educational foundation for success" says Rebecca Hammel, superintendent of schools for the Diocese of Nashville. "We are so pleased St. Matthew chose to offer this program in Williamson County."
The Hand-In-Hand Program has enjoyed 15 years of success at Pope John Paul II High School with its students graduating and continuing to post-secondary programs and entering gainful employment.
Due the success of the program and the need in the community, a team of educators from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, and the Vanderbilt University Peabody College Center for Special Education, along with diocesan and parochial school representatives met for a year to develop the Hand-In-Hand Program for the elementary grades. The 2017-18 academic year was the pilot year at Saint Ann School and was met with great success.
"We look forward to carrying on the success seen at St. Ann's," says Tim Forbes, Principal at St. Matthew School. "Now, families in Williamson County can send all of their children to school together for academic preparation and the opportunity to grow in their faith."
The Catholic Schools Office of the diocese will hold an Open House on March 12 for families interested in learning more about the Hand In Hand program offered at St. Matthew, St. Ann and John Paul II High School. The Open House will run from 6-8 p.m. in Breen Hall at St. Ann, with a presentation at 6:30 p.m. Representatives from all three schools will be in attendance. More information is available at www.dioceseofnashville.
St. Matthew School is a Catholic, diocesan elementary school serving 435 students from Pre-K to grade eight. It was founded in 2001 and provides its students with a progressive, well-rounded education rooted in a strong faith foundation in the Catholic tradition. For more information on St. Matthew and its Pre-K program, please visit: stmatthewtn.org/school. St. Matthew School is located at 533 Sneed Road W, Franklin.

The Stafford has an air of timelessness — the feel of a country house with a central London location. Tucked behind Green Park in genteel St James's and surrounded by the shops of Bond Street, Jermyn Street Picadilly and Fortnum & Masons. The hotel is quietly lavish while being warm and welcoming, with period furnishings and antique pieces adorning both bedrooms and public areas. The historic Carriage House rooms are complimented by the 26 new suites in the exclusive Stafford Mews. Both are unrivalled in London with their 17th Century courtyard setting and outdoor space.
Dedicated and dutiful staff play a big part in achieving this delicate balance between professionalism and friendliness. Here is a haven of calm which seems a million miles away from the bustle of Piccadilly just a steps away.
Established in 1912.
Originally 3 London townhouses dating from the 18th Century the Stafford Main House took it's current form in 1912. During WWII we were home to US and Canadian airforce officers, they sheltered from the Blitz in our 400 year old wine cellars and their legacy remains. The American Bar is festooned with memorabilia dating back 40 years. The 300 year old Carriage House rooms were once the stables of the stately homes nearby and all have their own front door into the historic cobbled courtyard. In 2007 we added 26 new suites in The Stafford Mews and this beautifullly compliments the Carriage House.
