An Agency Perspective on Google Warnings & Link Network Deindexing
News of Google deindexing blog networks erupted throughout the SEO community, with the white hats cheering and the black hats jeering. Then a bit later Google started issuing Webmaster Tool Warnings like they were going out of style and the news cycle started all over again. During this I've seen a lot of speculation repeated as fact, leading to some misconceptions about what's happening — especially among the truly white hat crowd that doesn't have any first hand experience (or darker-hatted friends or clients).

The bleeding, northwest edge of the great drought of 2012 was in South Dakota.
Where will it be in 2013?
That's hard to say, but the situation bears watching, says Dennis Todey, South Dakota's state climatologist, at South Dakota State University in Brookings. Todey says the 2012 drought in his state was later setting in than in the main Corn Belt - states such as Missouri and southern Illinois.
"South Dakota now sits on the north end of the worst category of the drought, which extends to Nebraska, Colorado, parts of Kansas and Oklahoma."
Depending on the conditions of interest, the current drought starts either south of Interstate Highway 90 or U.S. Highway 14. "Roughly, the worst conditions are in the southern half of the state," Todey says.
An important difference between the 2011 to '12 and 2012 to '13 crop years is that there wasn't enough moisture to cause germination of the winter wheat crop. "What has emerged is considered in not very good condition," Todey says.
DeWayne Beck, director of South Dakota State University's Dakota Lakes Research Farm near Pierre, says it's dry. He says winter wheat was largely planted on time, but "most of it hasn't even swelled," and what has isn't likely to come up. Winter wheat that doesn't come up until spring tends to be late-maturing and thin.
Unless spring brings good moisture, Beck thinks it'll be difficult to repeat last year's wheat yields, which hit 100 bushels per acre for some farmers in the Pierre area.
Todey notes that ranchers who rely on surface water need
corn, as well as oats and millet, depending on the year.
Spring wheat this year averaged 40 to 60 bushels per acre, which is good, with excellent quality at 14 to 15 percent and test weight about 65 pounds per bushel. Winter wheat had 11 to 12 percent protein, with yields at 65 to 85 bushels per acre.
"We just had a phenomenal wheat crop, the best we've ever had," Bonnichsen says. "That was true for a lot of farmers in the area."
The farm raised about 1,500 acres of corn and the yield averaged a disappointing 40 to 70 bushels. "I think the county average is 75 or 80 bushels, Bonnichsen says. The Bonnichsens run about 175 head of black and "black baldy" cows and are a cow-calf operation.
Jake markets some of his own grain, including 230 acres of production. He tries to keep in tune with marketing specialists, but doesn't pay for any special advice. On the cattle side, they just sell their calf crop off the cow when they wean. "We've got a good solid market in Fort Pierre that we always sell at," he says.
Keeping them home
ORIENT - Andy Schlechter and his family raise wheat, corn, soybeans, some millet for hay and alfalfa. Rain that came in early November was settling the dust, but not much more came after that. Schlechter Farms is a two-generation operation, with Schlechter's two brothers, father and uncle involved. Paul and Lawrence, both in their late 70s, own the land in an operation started by their father. Their sons, Terry, Chad and Andy are in their 30s and 40s, and the fourth generation is getting interested.
This year's wheat was "decent, considering everything we went through," Andy Schlechter says. "It was cool early; moisture got a little tight toward the end of the wheat crop for it to finish."
The family only raised spring wheat this year.
"We used to be winter wheat, as well, but we took it out (of the rotation), partly because it had been so wet and partly because it didn't look like it would cash-flow as well as other crops," Schlechter says.
The corn went pretty well - maybe 75 to 135 bushels an acre, he says. "If we can stay above 100 (bushels) it's not too bad. Of course the price - where it's at now - can fix a lot of wounds as well."
Soybeans averaged about 27 bushels an acre, which is less than normal. "We didn't catch any rain through most of July and into August. If you don't catch rain that time of year - here anyway - the soybeans are going to suffer."
The Schlechters have about 500 stock cows. They background-feed calves from those cows, depending on the year. Some years, they buy additional calves to background-feed. "We'll buy some yearlings, like now, to put on grass next spring, in May. Sometimes we finish those calves here, or sometimes we send them on (to feedlots), depending on what we've got time and room for, and depending whether the price is worth keeping them here or not."
This year they kept their yearlings after they came off grass, where generally they would have finished them in a custom lot.
"We're finishing some in a custom lot and some here," Schlechter says. "A little over half are here. You've got to pay yardage and feed cost in a custom yard and our costs probably aren't as high as (the yard) would need. To make ends meet, we'll have the yardage back in our pocket instead of giving it to somebody else." The Schlechters are hoping the market will be stronger when it comes time to sell.

UPDATE: Times/broadcasts have been added at the end of each game description.
Michigan State – The Spartans got the 4th 1-seed in this year's field after beating the Ohio State Buckeyes in this afternoon's conference title game. Tom Izzo leads his Michigan State squad into the NCAA Tournament for the 15th straight season and this is the 4th time that they have been a 1-seed in that span. This year, the Spartans sit atop the West Region and will face NEC Champion LIU-Brookyln in the first round (Columbis, OH).

NOAA's Office of Coast Survey, part of the National Ocean Service, produces nautical charts for the nation.
A nautical chart is one of the most fundamental tools available to the mariner. It's a graphic portrayal of the marine environment showing the nature and form of the coast, the general configuration of the sea bottom, including water depths, locations of dangers to navigation, locations and characteristics of human-made aids to navigation and other features useful to the mariner.
The nautical chart is essential for safe navigation. In conjunction with supplemental navigational aids, it is used by the mariner to lay out courses and navigate ships by the shortest and most economically safe route. Over 98 percent of the nation's cargo is carried by waterborne transportation—and all of those ships rely on nautical charts to find their way.

Golden Creek Mill – Easley, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Pickens County Photos | Golden Creek Mill
The Golden Creek Mill is located in the small upstate town of Easley, just east of Greenville. Today's Golden Creek Mill, which is one of the prettiest stops along the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor, is actually a replica of the original mill built in the early 1800s.
The original mill was built in 1815 by William O'Dell and served as a testament to the ingenuity of that century. The mill produced cornmeal, grits, flour, cotton, and even ice cream – all without the aid of electricity! For over 110 years, the mill was powered solely by the water in Golden Creek. Golden Creek Mill was originally designed as a grist mill, but in 1835 a cotton gin and press were added. Later, in the 1900s, an ice plant was introduced. Several elders in the area still fondly remember the ice cream made with that ice!
The twentieth century brought industrialization, and the mill eventually fell into disrepair. In 1985, Joyce and Leroy Stewart bought the land across the creek and built a replica of the abandoned mill. They brought in antique equipment from all over the country and even imported an old grindstone from Denmark! The Stewarts have stayed true to their model, as today's Golden Creek Mill is one of the only mills in the country still using hemp ropes instead of gears.
Many thanks to Jeff Sanders of Greenville for contributing this historical information.

Saratoga gets its first snowfall of season (with video)
SARATOGA SPRINGS — The snow has been falling all day, plow trucks are still clearing the roads and parents and children enjoyed the first major storm the Saratoga County region has seen in two years.
Claude Anderson was born and raised in Saratoga Springs, but moved away about 20 years ago when he joined the military. Now he and his two daughters live in Virginia Beach, where he says there's not nearly enough snow.
"This is where we used to come and sled every winter," Anderson said, gesturing at Congress Park. "It's kind of in our blood, we love it."
Anderson's two daughters, Hannah, 15, and Anika, 13, say they love the snow.
"This is the first time we've seen snow in two years, so it's exciting," Hannah Anderson said.
Tom Wasula, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service, said that by 10 a.m. today, Malta received seven inches of snow. By 1 p.m., Saratoga Springs had eight.
When the snowfall is finished, Wasula said he expects there to be between 6 to 12 inches of snow in the Saratoga County region. A winter storm watch warning is in effect until 7 p.m.
Wasula said this is the first heavy snow storm east central New York and New England have seen this year.
On Friday, the area should see some sun but temperatures will be cold and dry. In the late-afternoon and evening hours Saturday, there will probably be a light snowfall, totaling between 1 and 3 inches. Continued...
Toward the New Year, Wasula said temperatures will hover in the teens to lower-twenties. He said there will be no warm days or thaws in the near future.
The storm is on a northeast track, headed toward Maine and Nova Scotia.
Skip Scirocco, the Saratoga Springs Commissioner of Public Works said the department had trucks out plowing the roads at 1:30 a.m. which kept the city ahead of the storm.
The city department has about 40, different-sized plow trucks, including loaders, pickup trucks and large dump trucks.
Keith Manz, the Saratoga County commissioner of public works, said he thought the roads were looking pretty good.
The county public works employees will work two eight-hour shifts before the snowy roads are cleared, Manz said.
There are 23 active plow trucks on the roads at the moment, ranging in size from large-to-small.
"We had a lot of salt and sand left over from last year so we'll be able to deplete some of it now," Manz said.

Laura the Dragonfly creating a buzz on Parliament Hill; Pleads for protection at press conference
OTTAWA – A species of dragonfly may be the next victim of the federal government's gutting of environmental protection laws, says Sierra Club Canada. The Laura's Clubtail Dragonfly (Stylurus laurae) along with the Coast Manroot (Marah oreganus), and Four-leaved Milkweed (Asclepias quadrifolia) had their applications to be included on the Wildlife Species at Risk list denied by Environment Minister Peter Kent earlier last month (the July 4th announcement went unnoticed in the media).
"I know I'm not majestic like a Woodland Caribou or Blue Whale, or fearsome like a Rocky Mountain Grizzly Bear, but I filled-out all the forms and even got some help from wildlife scientists. Why was our application denied - don't we all have the same right to survive?" said Laura, a Laura's Clubtail Dragonfly speaking at a press conference in Ottawa. "I hope someone will notice our passing," said a dejected Laura.
The decision to deny adding the Laura's Clubtail Dragonfly to the Wildlife Species at Risk list was made despite strong submissions to the minister that were acknowledged in the Canada Gazette, July 4, 2012: "Eleven submissions opposed the Minister's recommendation based on claims that it was inconsistent with the Act and, in their opinion, supported by weak scientific and economic rationales."
Laura said the decision not to list her species was surprising: "We're not radicals or money launderers and we've never criticized the Harper government."
The Laura's Clubtail Dragonfly lives along fast flowing streams in a few isolated areas in Southwestern Ontario, so Environment Minister Peter Kent contends Laura can rely on the Ontario government for protection. But the province of Ontario is also weakening endangered species legislation.
Sierra Club Canada believes the federal government is drafting changes to gut the Species At Risk Act for introduction when Parliament returns in September.
"It is our sacred responsibility to protect all creatures from extinction. A dragonfly and two aquatic plants may not sound important but they are," said John Bennett, Executive Director of Sierra Club Canada. "That's why we are here today supporting Laura, and why we're launching a national campaign to fight for Laura and all endangered species."

Sklarbro Country: You Kids Want A Soda?
We keep it in the Sklarbro family this week as our good friend Jason Nash visits the calming shores! Jason tells us about being a full time dad, takes us back to his audition for SNL, and talks about being ahead of the curve with his podcast Guys With Feelings. Plus, friend of the show Tiger Woods stops by to explain how his mom proposed an app opportunity to him, gives us his view on The Masters, and lets us know if his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn can trust him. If you're in Los Angeles tonight, come see Randy & Jason perform improvised stand-up as part of Set List at UCB-LA! Get your tickets at www.ucbtheatre.com
Today on SBC! Parenthood's Jason Ritter becomes official citizen of Sklarbro Country and a special guest calls in!
Sklarbro Country: You Make Your Bed, You Thigh In It
Parenthood's Jason Ritter is an actor, comedian, and now an official citizen of Sklarbro Country! After Randy & Jason drop some yoga snaps, Jason Ritter stops by to talk about how his recurring role on Parenthood came about, what it was like growing up with a famous dad, and being a pinch hitter for his Junior varsity baseball team as a kid. He also talks about how his parents helped guide him to pursue an acting career, still feeling nervous on auditions, and gets into a round of Quick Hits. Plus, we bump it up a notch as a special guest makes their way in studio. You'll have to tune in to find out who it is!
Being a late-night host requires skill set to rival a Navy SEAL's, but the most important quality for the job is likeability. Audiences have to have genuine affection for a performer to want to spend time with them night in and night out, year after year. That's why Chevy Chase and Jerry Lewis famously crashed and burned as talk-show hosts: Audiences could see the evil in their souls, and consequently changed the channel. It would be hard to imagine a duo more likeable than The Sklar Brothers, the identical-twin stand-up comedy team whose Sklarbro Country and Sklarbro County podcasts are consistent delights. The Sklars are the comedy equivalent of what in baseball is known as a five-tool player. They're frighteningly smart and lightning-fast in a way that never calls attention to itself, but betrays an exceedingly broad frame of reference. (Hell, they host a comedy podcast devoted to the seemingly antithetical worlds of indie rock and sports, and they appeal to a wide audience that isn't necessarily interested in either.) And they possess a remarkable ability to seem genuinely interested and engaged by everything, whether it's a guest's project, the speed and efficiency of Stamps.com, or the stylishness of Bonobos pants. If you can seem passionate, genuine, and sincere while reading sponsor copy on a podcast, then acting fascinated by a NASCAR driver or supermodel should be a breeze.

Fell like a stranger opener & Cryptical 2nd set opener were amazing.
The 2nd set was & is still one of the hottest 2nd sets I ever saw!
Of course I also had the impression that "Don't need love and I don't need you " was directed at Jerry in the first place.

Robert Branner Forum for Medieval Art
Robert Branner (1927-1973) was an art historian specializing in Gothic architecture and manuscript illumination. Active as an excavator, he made important discoveries in the chronology and style of French cathedrals, incorporating cultural historical tools into the method of design analysis that had more traditionally dominated architectural history.
Branner is remembered through the Robert Branner Forum, a student-run symposium sponsoring lectures several times a year that are open to the public. The Forum originated as a series of visiting lectures organized by Branner's graduate students immediately after his death during the academic year as a way of continuing his courses. It has been supported by his family since that time.
All events take place in Schermerhorn Hall, room 612.

Self Tanners -Superdrug - Solait Moisturising Gradual Tan Body Lotion
zoomusicgrrrl 5/5/2013 1:56:00 PM
I use gradual tan body lotion most mornings, and have stuck with the St Tropez version for years (both the light/medium and medium/dark versions). My only real issue with St Tropez gradual tan is that the lotion is quite thick, so I end up using a large amount each time to get neck to toe coverage. Then, one day, there was a three-for-two offer on Boots No7 so I tried their gradual tan. I found it spread much more quickly and easily and moisturised my skin, but I wasnt overly keen on its high mineral oil content. Liking the texture, however, I decided to check out some of Superdrugs versions. I purchased Solait gradual tan in both light/medium and medium/dark versions. Each has a lightweight, easily spreadable texture, but this comes from grapeseed oil and sweet almond oil (as well as dimethicone), as opposed to the paraffinum liquidum of the No7 version. I like the summery coconut smell, too. The ingredients are identical other than the fact that the tanning ingredient (dihydroxyacetone) in the light/medium is listed eighth, but is sixth in the darker version. (Incidentally, dihydroxyacetone is the eleventh ingredient in the light versions of the St Tropez and No7 gradual tans.) For that reason, I would recommend buying the darker one only, as its just a little deeper than the light one (which barely shows up at all on my fair skin.) So, a pleasant-smelling product, that smoothes over the skin with ease, and sinks in quickly, delivering a (very) subtle warmth to light skin types. And for about £5 for 200ml in the UK. Not the best gradual tans Ive used (the colour each one delivers is lighter than expected and wanted), but decent enough to warrant a repurchase, especially to take the edge off winter-pale skin. INGREDIENTS: Light/Medium Aqua, glycerin, isopropyl palmitate, dimethicone, glyceryl stearate, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate citrate, dihydroxyacetone, phenoxyethanol, betaine, parfum, camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract, ethoxydiglycol, vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice powder, stearic acid, isohexadecane, dimethiconol, caprylyl glycol, hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer, squalane, polysorbate 60, xanthan gum, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, phytic acid, potassium hydroxide, citric acid Medium/Dark Aqua, glycerin, isopropyl palmitate, dimethicone, glyceryl stearate, dihydroxyacetone, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate citrate, phenoxyethanol, betaine, parfum, camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract, ethoxydiglycol, vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice powder, stearic acid, isohexadecane, dimethiconol, caprylyl glycol, hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer, squalane, polysorbate 60, xanthan gum, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, phytic acid, potassium hydroxide, citric acid

Skincare - Body -Unlisted Brand - Monoi de Tahiti oil
zoomusicgrrrl 4/21/2013 2:19:00 PM
I'm using the 'Tipanie' (frangipani) version at the moment, which I bought in order to compare it with Elemis' Frangipani Monoi Melt. I'm not a huge fan of having to warm up my oils to liquefy, but such is the nature of coconut oil. And actually, the feeling of warm oil smoothed into the skin is delicious - so, worth the extra hassle. Also, being in solid form makes it such an easy product for travel. This version has the same main component as the Elemis version (ie coconut oil), and becomes just as silky when melted. The biggest difference I find is that the fragrance of this version is a lot lighter. Now, I love Elemis body oils, but their fragrances can be a bit 'screechy' if you're not a fan of OTT florals. (Personally, I can't get enough of amped-up exotic florals; I'm the sort of woman who'd bathe in Fracas if she could! But I understand they are headache-inducing in some people.) So, this Monoi de Tahiti version is a lot more subtle, making it a good daytime choice that won't clash with perfume (unlike the Elemis version which I'd reserve for before bed.) In fact, it has a soft vanilla note on my skin. Nothing too noticeable, though (I'm NOT a fan of sickly sweet smells!) My skin is normal, rather than dry, but the oil soaks in fast and leaves it feeling soft and nourished. I give my skin just a light coating and love that it is lightweight, not greasy. But I think dry skin would find it very soothing, too, if it were applied more liberally. I like this version of Monoi, which I think is reasonably priced (at about £10 per 120ml in the UK, compared with over £30 for the 100ml Elemis version). I like that I can get it in a portable plastic bottle (which is more compatible with slippery oily hands than Elemis' glass-bottled version!) The only drawback of the packaging is that it retains heat less effectively than the Elemis glass, so the oil doesn't get as warm. However, I understand the product is also available in glass bottles, so I can't knock it for that! Finally, while I love the strong fragrance of Elemis' Monoi, I can certainly live with the lighter scent of this version, and get my fragrance hit through perfume instead. INGREDIENTS of Monoi Tipanie: Coconut (Cocos nucifera) oil, Tiare (Gardenia tahitensis) flower, Parfum, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) INGREDIENTS of Elemis Monoi Melt (for comparison): Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil), Fragrance (Fragrance of Plumeria rubra Flowers), Amyl cinnamal, 7-hydroxycitronellal, Benzyl-o-hydroxybenzoate, Linalool, Dipentene (D-Limonene), Lilial

Cleansers -Superdrug - Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser
zoomusicgrrrl 4/13/2013 10:44:00 AM
Superdrug's Vitamin E range has never caught my eye. At a glance, it appears so bland and cheap and uninspiring. But lately I've been on a mission to find hot cloth cleansers to rival my Liz Earle and Elemis versions but at high-street prices. I still enjoy my Cleanse and Polish, and like my Pro-Radiance cleanser even more, but what I've noticed is a striking similarity in the main ingredients between these products and their lower priced counterparts. INGREDIENTS For comparison purposes, I tend to focus on the first five ingredients listed, as these are present in the highest quantities (so pretty much determine the efficacy of the product.) The first five ingredients in Superdrug's Vitamin E cleanser are: AQUA, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, THEOBROMA CACAO SEED BUTTER, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERIN. The first five ingredients in Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish are: AQUA, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, THEOBROMA CACAO SEED BUTTER, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, CETYL ESTERS. Not a huge difference!!! The drawback, when you move to the bottom of the ingredients list of the Superdrug cleanser, is that it contains a bunch of parabens. Likewise, some people might object to the inclusion of (potentially irritating) eucalyptus oil in the Liz Earle version. So, swings and roundabouts maybe. (NB The first five ingredients of the Elemis version are: AQUA, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, SHEA BUTTER, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERIN. Again, strikingly similar to the Superdrug version!!) TEXTURE/CONSISTENCY AND SMELL Superdrug's Vitamin E cleanser has a thick creamy texture, more akin to the Elemis version. I certainly find it spreads more readily than the LE version, which I find quite stiff. I'm enjoying the cocoa butter smell, which makes a nice change from the LE eucalyptus, and is certainly preferable in my opinion to the clove smell of Eve Lom's cult version! I think I like the smell of Boots No 7 hot cloth cleanser most of all, but of course smell is so subjective. Superdrug's cleanser comes supplied with a muslin cloth. While it won't win the battle of the thread count, I find it a reasonable size, comfortably abrasive, and effective at swiping away the product. I have probably a lifetime's supply of LE muslins anyway (which are denser and softer), so it's of little note to me. PACKAGING My least favourite cleanser packaging is the jar type, which I find a bit of a faff. I like that the Elemis, Liz Earle and No 7 versions are in pumps. (No 7 probably has the best design, as you can see the product running out.) Tubes are fine, too. I've found Soap and Glory's Fab Pore cleanser easy to use and to transport, and likewise, Superdrug's Vitamin E version is in a tube. It's easy to administer the desired amount, with no mess or hygiene issues. It's also cost effective because a squeezy tube means you can get out every last bit. EFFECTIVENESS I have combination skin. My cheeks are normal, but my T zone is prone to oiliness. However, I trialled a hot cloth cleanser from Marks and Spencer's Pure range recently and it seemed to have made my skin drier than normal, with some flaking in the cheek area. The first couple of days of using the Superdrug version did nothing to improve my skin: it remained dry and taut. That was when I went makeup free, so the product was only being used as a cleanser applied directly to bare skin. I wondered whether the inclusion of denatured alcohol (fifteenth listed ingredient) was keeping my skin dry. However, I found that the cleanser seems to work better when I used it to actually remove makeup. My skin feels softer and smoother, with dry patches reduced. (This of course could just be a case of my skin recovering of its own accord after stopping using the Pure cleanser.) I like to double cleanse, the first time to remove makeup, the second as a treatment. I enjoy doing this with my pricier cleansers, too, but the Superdrug version retails at £5.99 for 200ml (when at full price), so it doesn't feel too extravagant! I've experienced no breakouts when I've double cleansed like this, despite not using toner afterwards. My skin has felt particularly supple when I've double cleansed in the evening and followed it with some Omorovicza night cream. (The creamy cocoa butter of the cleanser just seems to work in harmony with the buttery texture and marzipan smell of the moisturiser. I find, incidentally, that a tiny amount of the night cream gives better results on my combo skin than a thicker layer.) VERDICT This cleanser is aimed at normal and dry skin types, but using a double cleanse method works well to keep my combination skin happy. I'm not keen on the inclusion of parabens or denatured alcohol, but I love that the main ingredients are comparable with those of pricier versions. I also love that it is so readily available in the UK, and that it is an affordable option. So far, it's probably my second favourite high-street hot cloth cleanser (Soap and Glory's version remains my favourite.) I'll continue to use my LE and Elemis (partly because I've stockpiled!), but will certainly enjoy mixing it up with these cheaper versions. FULL INGREDIENTS: AQUA, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, THEOBROMA CACAO SEED BUTTER, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERIN, POLYSORBATE 60, SORBITAN STEARATE, CETYL ALCOHOL, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SWEET ALMOND OIL, PARFUM, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, VITAMIN E, PANTHENOL, ALCOHOL DENAT., PEG-35 CASTOR OIL, POLYSORBATE 20, HORSE CHESTNUT SEED EXTRACT, VITAMIN A, INOSITOL, VITAMIN B5, VITAMIN F, VITAMIN H, POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, DISODIUM EDTA, PHENOXYETHANOL, METHYLPARABEN, ETHYLPARABEN, BUTYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, ISOBUTYLPARABEN, CITRIC ACID.

Skincare - Body -Elemis - Evening Blooms Dry Body Oil
zoomusicgrrrl 4/11/2013 1:28:00 PM
Elemis is hit and miss for me. I tend to prefer their facial care products over their body products - despite it being a spa brand! I've enjoyed using their Frangipani Monoi Melt, though having to warm up the product to liquidise it could be a pain. And though it smelt and felt heavenly on the skin, it was basically over-priced coconut oil with fragrance added! That said, it was delicious to use. Likewise, this body oil has a heady fragrance and feels gorgeous on my skin. And by 'heady' fragrance, I mean 'strong'. Personally, I love strong florals, but know that some people find them headache-inducing. The fragrance, according to the bottle, comprises jasmine, osmanthus, ylang ylang and vanilla. It's strong as I apply, but quickly mellows and just leaves the skin delicately perfumed. Unlike the Monoi Melt, Evening Blooms is in liquid form, so no having to heat it up to use. This is because the main ingredient is sunflower oil rather than coconut oil. Yes, I loved the feeling of warm oil on my skin, but EB is great for fast application on skin right out of the bath or shower. My skin is pretty normal, and drinks this in, but I think the oil would be soothing on drier skin types, too. It's marketed as a 'dry' oil, so isn't greasy and film-forming - just makes skin silky smooth and scented. I do feel that Elemis products can be over-priced. And their body care items are things that I enjoy receiving as gifts, but am less keen to purchase - because although they feel and smell great, there are other cheaper brands with more impressive ingredients lists and which give equal results. Therefore, I've checked 'yes to repurchase' more to signify 'yes to re-use and enjoy if received as a gift'!! Ingredients (apologies for any typos): SUNFLOWER SEED OIL, KUKUI SEED OIL, MACADAMIA TERNIFOLIA SEED OIL, FRAGRANCE, CAMELLIA OIL, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, BENZYL BENZOATE, BENZYL SALICYLATE, CINNAMYL ALCOHOL, CITRONELLOL, EUGENOL, ALPHO-ISOMETHYL IONONE, HEXYL CINNAMALDEHYDE, LILIAL, LINALOOL, HYDROXYISOHEXYL 3-CYCLOHEXENE CARBOXALDEHYDE

Moisturizers -Omorovicza - Rejuvenating Night Cream
zoomusicgrrrl 4/11/2013 12:29:00 PM
I usually find that night creams are too rich/heavy/greasy/pore-clogging for my combination skin (normal cheeks, oil-prone T zone), so I tend to just put on a serum before bed, or an anti-ageing day cream without SPF. I was using a day cream from this line as my night cream, and liked it, so was curious about the Rejuvenating Night Cream. It has a soft, buttery texture and colour and a smell of marzipan, no doubt because of the plum almond oil! It went on smooth and felt so lightweight, sinking in immediately and just leaving my skin with a soft sheen. I love that it soaked in so readily, rather than sitting as an oily film on the surface, as many night creams tend to do. I love the inclusion of natural ingredients, such as the carrot oil and hazelnut peptides which are meant to boost elastin and collagen production, and the fact that it is free from synthetic colours and fragrance (despite its beautiful butter-yellow appearance and sweet almond smell!), petrochemicals and parabens. And, of course, there's something so romantic, too, about the first listed ingredient being Hungarian thermal water, rather than just regular water!! My skin isn't *transformed* with this cream as such, and I'm not sure it performs better on me than, say, Elemis Pro-Collagen Night Cream, but it's certainly a contender! INGREDIENTS: Hungarian Thermal Water, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Squalane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Cetearyl Olivate, Stearyl Heptanoate, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hydrolyzed Hazelnut Protein, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Phenoxyethanol, Mannitol, Sodium Lactate, Malpighia Punicifolia (Acerola) Fruit Extract, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance, Chlorella Vulgaris/ Lupinus Albus Protein Ferment, Yeast Extract, Linalool, Geraniol, Potassium Sorbate, Beta-Carotene, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Ascorbyl Palmitate.

Pressed Powders -TheBalm - Sexy Mama
zoomusicgrrrl 4/11/2013 12:04:00 PM
A good powder - I liked it, though not to the point where I'm desperate to repurchase now that I've run out. I only use powder as a mattifier for my oily lids or as an eyeshadow base, and to set under-eye concealer. (Occasionally, I'll use it to anchor lipstick, too). My point is, though, that I use it predominantly only on/around eyes, as I don't like to powder over my base (I prefer to blot away T-zone oil instead). And for my purposes, it performs quite well. The coverage is good enough that I can dust it onto my eyelids and get away without putting a coloured eyeshadow on top - it just gives me a decent neutral base. However, I find it quite a 'powdery' powder, so can't be too heavy-handed when picking some up onto my brush. It's a little heavier than I'd like under my eyes, though lasts quite well throughout the day. It's definitely a good option for those seeking coverage, rather than a sheer, 'invisible' powder - though, I think this makes it best suited to lighter skin tones, rather than a universal shade. The packaging is pseudo-Benefit, which I can take or leave. Being cardboard book-style means it gets a little shabby when I tote it around with me, but the magnetic closure stays tight. So it was quite nice not carrying round a plastic-lidded product which I normally ended up cracking! So, overall, a powder with decent oil-control properties, that didn't oxidise ,and was gentle and non-irritating even around the eye area. Just a bit 'powdery' for my liking, and not giving my skin the lightweight 'invisible' finish it promised to deliver. Therefore, I'd possibly repurchase, but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice! Ingredients: BORON NITRIDE, CORN STARCH, POLYETHYLENE, SILICA, ISOEICOSANE, ZINC STEARATE, PTFE, STYRENE/DVB CROSSPOLYMER, POLYISOBUTENE, DIMETHYLIMIDAZOLIDINONE RICE STARCH, COTTON POWDER, SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE.

Skincare - Body -Unlisted Brand - Martha Hill Orange Body Oil
zoomusicgrrrl 4/9/2013 11:12:00 AM
I tend to buy more of the Evening Primrose and Lavender version of this body oil, purely because I like to use oils most of all after a bath before bed. However, the orange is a great AM option, certainly in the summer. The ingredients are very similar to the EP and L body oil, so chances are, if you like one, you'll like the other. Retails for about £7 for 250ml, which I consider great value for such a lovely product. Ingredients: Vitis Vitifera (Grapeseed Oil), Prunus Dulcis (Sweet Almond Oil), Prunus Persica ( Peach Oil), Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot Oil), Buxus Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose Oil), Citrus Sinensis (Bitter Orange Oil), Tocopherol.

Skincare - Body -Unlisted Brand - Martha Hill Evening Primrose and Lavender Body Oil
zoomusicgrrrl 4/9/2013 11:07:00 AM
A lovely gentle lightweight oil which my 'normal' skin absorbs fast. I find a little goes a long way, though even if I've applied it excessively, it's still gentle and comfortable on my skin. A short ingredients list, featuring no artificial colours, fragrance, primary petro-chemicals or parabens. In fact, it comprises only six carrier oils, one essential oil and vitamin E preservative - talk about all killer, no filler! Love it after a hot nighttime bath to leave my skin soft, supple and subtly scented with lavender. I've suffered no irritations, using this from neck to toe - in fact, I've found it to make a soothing after sun option when applied liberally to my skin. And, priced at about £7 for 200ml, I don't mind being generous with my application. INGREDIENTS: Vitis Vitifera (Grapeseed Oil), Prunus Dulcis (Sweet Almond Oil), Prunus Persica ( Peach Oil), Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot Oil), Buxus Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose Oil), Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender Oil), Tocopherol.

Cleansers -Unlisted Brand - Marks & Spencer Pure Instant Radiance Hot Cloth Cleanser
zoomusicgrrrl 4/9/2013 10:16:00 AM
I love hot cloth cleansers, and this one appealed to me because: 1) It has 95% natural ingredients; 2) It's without artificial colours or synthetic fragrance, parabens, silicones, or mineral oil; 3) It's manufactured in a British eco factory; 4) It's widely available in the UK and retails for under £10 for 200ml. I've been using it to cleanse BARE skin while on holiday from work, so cannot comment on its efficacy at removing makeup. However, after twice-daily usage for about a week, I find that it really does not work for my skin. There are things I love - the texture is a rich lotion that glides well over skin. It comes in a pump bottle, which is great for hygiene reasons and for convenience (though, the pump on my particular bottle takes a while to dispense enough product.) I really like the muslin cloth it comes with, as well; it is a generous size and comfortably abrasive. But, for me, the negatives make this a definite no for repurchase. With the first couple of uses, my skin felt glass-like - incredibly deeply cleansed and smooth. However, this glass-like feeling descended into tautness, so that my skin felt stripped of moisture and suppleness - becoming tight and uncomfortable, even when followed immediately with moisturiser. I have combination skin, with normal cheeks and an oil-prone T zone, but this product finally made my skin dry and visibly flaky. At which point, I obviously admitted defeat. A glance at the ingredients list reveals three different types of alcohol, though the top two are merely thickening agents rather than considered irritants. Also, there are a bunch of essential oils which I suppose might be drying - but I'm certainly no chemist, and my skin often enjoys products with essential oils! Either way, the formulation left my skin (which doesn't even suffer from dryness or sensitivity usually!) parched, so it's not a product I could recommend. INGREDIENTS: AQUA, COCOS NUCIFERA OIL, C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE, ISONONYL ISONONANOATE, ARACHIDYL ALCOHOL, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, CAMELINA SATIVA SEED OIL, GLYCERIN, BENZYL ALCOHOL, SODIUM POLYACRYLATE, ARACHIDYL GLUCOSIDE, STARFLOWER SEED OIL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, QUILLAJA SAPONARIA WOOD EXTRACT, TOCOPHEROL, DEHYDROACETIC ACID, PARFUM, CHAMOMILE FLOWER OIL, LINALOOL, TRISODIUM ETHYLENEDIAMINE DISUCCINATE, GERANIUM OIL, PETITGRAIN LEAF/TWIG OIL, CITRONELLOL, CITRIC ACID, SODIUM BENZOATE, ASPARTIC ACID, SODIUM CHLORIDE

Lotions/ Creams -L'Occitane - Cherry Blossom Hand Cream
zoomusicgrrrl 4/9/2013 9:41:00 AM
This is one of the lightweight L'Occitane handcreams - ie it contains shea butter, but not at 20%. Therefore, the texture is more of a glossy lotion, than a thicker more nourishing cream. A pleasant enough scent - not one that I consider 'to die for', but pretty without being overpowering, sickly or cloying. Recommended for normal rather than dry skin types - a pretty, feminine, gentle lotion, but not a troubleshooter for dry or irritated skin conditions. INGREDIENTS: WATER, GLYCERIN, ISONOYL ISONONANOATE, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, SHEA BUTTER, CETYL ALCOHOL,MODIFIED CORN STARCH, CYCLOMETHICONE, BITTER CHERRY EXTRACT, COCONUT OIL, BEESWAX, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, TOCOPHEROL, XANTHAN GUM, SUNFLOWER SEED OIL, ROSEMARY LEAF EXTRACT, CHLORPHENESIN, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, POLYSORBATE 60, SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE, CETEARETH-33, FRAGRANCE, PHENOXYETHANOL, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE, BUTYLPHENYL, METHYLPROPIONAL, LIMONENE, LINALOOL

Bronzers -Unlisted Brand - W7 The Bronzer (matte compact)
zoomusicgrrrl 4/6/2013 3:49:00 PM
I like to warm up my neck and decolletage with a little bronzer, and all I ask is that it be non-shimmery, a natural brown (not orange!), and reasonably priced. This W7 compact ticks all boxes for me. I liked their (Hoola-style) 'Honolulu' boxed version, and this compact also performs well on my skin, despite the ingredients being different. In fact, I prefer the plastic, clear lidded, flip-top compact - it feels more sturdy and substantial (than the cardboard box version), and is more portable. It also remains aesthetic enough, with its gold and black animal print trim. What I like best, though, is that it gives me a gentle tan effect for under £2 (per 14g compact). NB One lippie off for the fact that I find this bronzer to be less pigmented than the 'Honolulu' version. It comes out quite light and, whilst this makes streaking/blotching less likely (I barely need a mirror to kabuki it onto my neck and chest), it also makes the bronzer less applicable to a range of skin tones. INGREDIENTS: TALC, MICA, MAGNESIUM STEARATE, DIMETHICONE, ISOPROPYL ISOSTEARATE, DIISOPRYL DIMER DILINOLEATE, PETROLATUM, SILICA DIMETHYL SILYLATE, PROPYLPARABEN, METHYLPARABEN. May contain: CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 77491

Styling Products -Schwarzkopf - SILHOUETTE Colour Brilliance Hairspray super hold
zoomusicgrrrl 4/5/2013 4:31:00 PM
Love this - think I even prefer it to Elnett, which I've always bought and considered the 'gold standard'. The hold is superb, but it doesn't make my fine hair feel overloaded. I've never experienced any flaking of the product, or irritation to my skin. I've purchased the various strengths of 'Silhouette', and the pink is probably my favourite, along with the gold. (The pink is for colour-treated hair, the gold is for 'strong hold for fragile hair - and they seem to perform similarly on me). Works out reasonable in the UK if you can get hold of the 750ml size (I pay about £5 for this size from an online retailer).

Skincare - Body -L'Occitane - Pivoine Flora Hand Cream
zoomusicgrrrl 4/5/2013 2:18:00 PM
This is a nice, lightweight hand cream with a pleasant enough, though unremarkable, floral smell. Actually, it would be more accurate to describe the product as a lotion, as it has a much lighter texture compared with L'Occitane's hand creams that contain 20% shea butter. This lotion also contains shea butter, but less of it - it's the third listed ingredient, rather than the second as per the 20% versions. It has a higher quantity of glycerin instead, which is reflected in the glossy, light texture, in contrast with the more opaque, thick white texture of the 20% creams. Of course, the lotion texture makes it easier to spread and faster to absorb, but you compromise, of course, on nourishment and moisturisation. I love to have a variety of L'Occitane tubes around me, and tend to choose the lightweight feminine florals when my hands just need a little dose of moisture, reaching of course for the richer 20% shea butter versions when my skin needs a bit more TLC. Certainly not an essential product for me, but a pleasant and easy to use lotion for 'normal' skin types. INGREDIENTS WATER, GLYCERIN, SHEA BUTTER, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, GRAPESEED OIL, DICAPRYLYL CARBONATE, CETYL ALCOHOL, PAEONIA LACTIFLORA ROOT EXTRACT, COCONUT OIL, SUNFLOWER SEED OIL, ROSEMARY LEAF EXTRACT, GRAPEFRUIT PEEL OIL, ROSA DAMASCENA FLOWER OIL, FRAGRANCE, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, BEESWAX, TOCOPHEROL, POLYSORBATE 60, SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, CETEARYL GLUCOSIDE, CHLORPHENESIN, XANTHAN GUM, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, SODIUM BENZOATE, POTASSIUM SORBATE, BENZYL SALICYLATE, ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE, LINALOOL, LIMONENE, CITRONELLOL, CI 17200/RED 33

Lotions/ Creams -L'Occitane - CREME MAINS Hand Cream
zoomusicgrrrl 4/4/2013 2:22:00 PM
L'Occitane does some lovely body products, and their hand creams are great. I've just finished a large tube of the 'Honey' version, but I like to keep tiny tubes of various fragrances in different handbags, in my desk drawer in work, by the side of my bed etc. The 'Honey' version I'm reviewing is a thick white cream that contains 20% shea butter. Although it is dense, I find it sinks in easily and doesn't feel at all greasy - which is probably my biggest bugbear when it comes to handcreams. It smells really sweet, and the scent lingers on my skin. I think I prefer some of L'Occitane's floral varieties - not really being a gourmand girl - but that's of course, just a matter of taste. I tend not to wear the honey version as my day time handcream, but it's lovely for a comforting shot of moisture before bed, or if I'm lounging about the house. I get an instant dose of soothing hydration on my winter-ravaged skin, though I don't find it CURES dryness. So, while I don't find it a HEALING handcream when my skin gets really dry, it works very well as a maintenance product, to help in the upkeep of soft, supple skin. Ingredients (apologies if any typos!!): WATER, SHEA BUTTER, GLYCERIN, DIMETHICONE, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERYL STEARATE, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, RAPESEED STEROLS, COCONUT OIL, ROSEMARY LEAF EXTRACT, SUNFLOWER SEED OIL, HONEY EXTRACT, CETEARETH-33, POLYSORBATE 60, SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE, PEG-100 STEARATE, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, PHENOXYETHANOL, BENZOIC ACID, DEHYDROACETIC ACID, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, FRAGRANCE

Cleansers -Unlisted Brand - Martha Hill Mimosa Hydrating Cream Cleanser
zoomusicgrrrl 4/4/2013 1:30:00 PM
This won a Natural Health and Beauty award in 2010, and I tried it because I liked the matching moisturiser (which I'd originally had free with a magazine.) It's described by the company as "A creamy, rich and gentle formula [which] effectively removes everyday grime and make-up, leaving skin smooth and comfortable, soft and supple." It is certainly creamy, but I don't find it at all heavy - in fact, the texture is quite light and mousse-like. So, despite being aimed at 'dry/mature' skin types, it is compatible with my combination (normal cheeks, oil-prone T zone) skin. I don't much like having to scoop cleanser out of a tub, but it is also available in a smaller size as a tube (though, works out more expensive that way - £3.60 per 30ml, compared with £9 per 100ml jar). It is a lightweight, airy cream that spreads easily over the skin, and makes light work of even full makeup, when wiped off with a muslin cloth dipped in comfortable hot water. I apply it directly to my made up skin (not wetting my face first), and massage it in to all areas, including lips and eyes. It does sting a bit if it gets into the eyes, but no moreso than most products. And it's nothing that a splash of water doesn't cure. I've just used up a 100ml tub, and found I got through it quite quickly. But I think I was using too much product - a little goes a long way, but I just loved the luxury of slathering it on! The smell is beautiful, courtesy of the 'actiscent hydrafleur'. According to the company, this fragrance is a "formulation designed to restore and maintain your skins moisture balance by inhibiting the effects of haluronidase, the enzyme that reduces the production of natural hyaluronic acid". Not sure about the science of it, but it smells divine! All in all, a lovely cleanser, that is lightweight and non-greasy, removes makeup, leaves my skin soft and hydrated without clogging my pores, and smells great. Not my favourite cleanser - I prefer the thicker cream texture and more deep-cleansing action of my Liz Earle and Elemis versions - but I'd happily repurchase. INGREDIENTS: AQUA, HYDROGENATED POLYDECENE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE , CETEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERIN (Vegetable), PERSEA GRATISSIMA (Avocado) OIL, PHENOXYETHANOL, STEARIC ACID, TRIETHANOLAMINE, PARFUM (hydrafleur), ACACIA DECURRENS (Mimosa Absolute) EXTRACT, JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS (Juniper Berry Absolute) EXTRACT, COPAIFERA OFFICINALIS (Copahu) OIL, CANANGA ODORATA (Ylang-Ylang) OIL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, CUCUMIS SATIVUS (Cucumber) EXTRACT, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM BENZOATE, SORBIC ACID, BENZYL SALICYLATE, BENZYL BENZOATE.

It is the most pressing question of our time. It seems that there is a new technology breakthrough every minute of every day; so keeping up is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity.
As populations grow and the diverse world economy creates new consumers everyday, manufactures are facing challenges unseen since the Industrial Revolution.
More consumers, means the world needs to produce goods faster and more cost effectively. No use in mastering modern manufacturing if you can't make a profit. This is where automation plays a giant role. While some might say it has removed the human element from manufacturing this just is not so. It has in fact saved countless industries from complete collapse and it takes highly skilled human workers to run properly. This is where we are running into some trouble. Some studies claim that 40% of today's automation professionals will leave the workforce in the next five years. This exodus unfortunately coincides with a growing skill gap, simply put, not enough new workers are receiving the proper training to operate the manufacturing machines of the present and future.
At Nex Flow, our entire company is built around the automation revolution. From our air knives and vortex tubes to our amplifiers and nozzles, we are always trying to find ways to streamline the manufacturing process through automation for a wide variety of industries. Each day we bring the benefits of automation to manufactures all over the world, but we also know that without a properly trained workforce, even our innovative tools may not be enough to prepare manufactures for the future.
The moral of the story is this, the future is here and combining Nex Flow's cutting-edge automation equipment, with highly skilled workers is the only way not to get left behind.

I'm loving the English countryside…AND I'm so grateful to announce I am successfully beginning week 2 of my DIY Detox. I've been spending time with friends, going for walks, gave myself an at-home manicure, and even hosted a private intensive in our farmhouse for an international client.
I'm feeling really empowered in my life and am finding that from this place, my desires become clearer, which makes them far easier to manifest. Did you know that statistically, only 1 in 100 people know what they want? I've always been the type of person who's known what I've wanted in life…or so I thought!
When I have been clear, BIG things, REALLY BIG and fun opportunities fall into my lap, like working at the White House, the Supreme Court, Harvard's Institute of Politics, with Marianne Williamson, selling many $100k programs, getting married at the top of the Spanish Steps in Rome and even more recently, having been on a traveling adventure with my husband for 6-months, enjoying our lives and this beautiful planet from Palm Springs to Portugal to Puglia (Italy), and having over 300 women from around the world join me and Rose Cole for our Feminine Art of Manifesting Program.
So this has been the easy part…want to know the hard part? All of the other times, when I thought I had a desire or goal, but it wasn't 100% ME. I've spent SO MUCH time and energy over the years doing what I now call, "applying for what I don't really want". And this has included applying to universities, where I didn't even love the campus, or for jobs that I thought would pay well, but weren't my zone of genius, or tried to get clients for what was a fine service but not my true calling. The same situation used to happen when I'd go for the guys who'd never really love me or do life the way I truly wanted. And trying to get in with peer and professional circles that just were not my tribe.
The Universe Is On Your Side. The older I get (I'm going to be 40 in a few months!), the more I'm able to surrender into the truth of God's love for me and for all. We are created with a vibrant life force and purpose that does not bless or benefit anyone when we go for what isn't authentically US. I know this sounds obvious, but the courage it takes to drop the conditioning of who we're "supposed" to be, or how we're "supposed" to make the money or who we're "supposed" to marry is fierce. It takes fiercely feminine courage to go for –FULLY–the most magical and natural state of YOU.
In today's international Divine Living Radio Talk Show I'm going to be discussing:

Born to Cheer
By: Jennifer Penate
Updated: November 14, 2012
FAYETTEVILLE, AR.--- "Sweet spirited, hard working, caring, always positive. I've yet to see her have a bad day," says University of Arkansas Spirit Squad Director Jean Nail.
Patience Beard was born to be a cheerleader.
As you watch her stunt on the sidelines, you would never guess she's any different from her teammates.
As you watch her stunt on the sidelines, you would never guess she's any different from her teammates.
"I do have my knee. It just bends at a different spot than my other knee so it was hard jumping up high enough and getting strong enough," states amputee cheerleader Patience Beard.
Patience was born with Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency, in other words, her left femur was much shorter than her right. It was so severe, amputation was necessary.
"I've never known any different. I learned to walk with a prosthetic leg so it's just been normal to me. My whole life it's how I've been," says Patience.
She got her first prosthetic at 14 months, began tumbling at 4 and cheering in 7th grade.
"I went through a time where I felt different than everyone. I thought 'This is kind of hard.' But my mom was right there and she was like 'No, this is you. You can't change it so just embrace it," says Patience.
So she did. Displaying her prosthetic proudly with bright prints, matching her fearless personality.
"It's all about how you perceive yourself. Growing up I didn't ever think of myself as disabled. So I think that helped with other people to see me that way," states Patience.
Including University of Arkansas Spirit Squad Director, Jean Nail. Patience captured her heart during tryouts.
"I was excited and thrilled for her because it was very obvious that she worked extremely hard to get to this point. But, she does great. She had everything we needed. She was able to execute it all with that beautiful smile," says Nail.
Always giving 110-percent on the field, her will to achieve still impresses partner Kevin Ellstrand... even more than her zebra leg did.
"She doesn't let it slow her down at all. She's very very fun to be around," says Ellstrand.
"There's so much more to cheerleading than tumbling and stunts and leading the crowd. It's all about your attitude," says Patience.
Patience Beard...born to be a cheerleader. Driven to share her enthusiasm for life and determined to succeed.
"I think it would be really cool if I could inspire kids that are like me, even just people going through everyday situations," says Patience.
Patience hopes to become a motivational speaker. She's already made several appearances in Northwest Arkansas classrooms.
For her undeniable strength and perseverance, Patience was nominated for the National 2012 Courage Award, created to recognize a college football player who has overcome an injury.

Jury finds man guilty of murder in Scio Township car dealership beating
This story contains additional information from the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office.
Nearly six years after William Kenney was fatally beaten at a car dealership, Shane Noel Roscoe was found guilty of first-degree felony murder.
A jury in Judge Archie Brown's courtroom in the Washtenaw County Trial Court also found Roscoe guilty of safe breaking, breaking and entering and resisting and obstructing on Friday, according to a release from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.
The jury returned its verdict at 6:30 p.m. Friday after nearly four hours of deliberation, according to the prosecutor's office.
His sentencing is scheduled for July 18 in the trial court. At his sentencing, Roscoe will be treated as a habitual offender with three or more prior felony convictions. This could increase the maximum penalties for the counts of breaking and entering and resisting a police officer.
Roscoe's previous convictions include attempted burglary, unarmed robbery and receiving and concealing stolen property, all in 1984; escape from prison in 1986; stalking in 1997 and assault with a dangerous weapon in 2001.
The possible penalty for first-degree felony murder -- murder while committing a felony -- is life in prison without parole.
On May 30, Roscoe made it clear he did not want to entertain a plea deal.
Earlier that month, the prosecution scored a victory when the judge allowed statements made by Kenney from the hospital, where he died 27 days after the beating.
Roscoe was convicted of breaking into his former place of employment, Jim Bradley Pontiac GMC in Scio Township, and stealing auto-related equipment and materials. During the break-in, he came into contact with Kenney, who worked at the dealership. The incident occurred on Aug. 18, 2006.
Prosecutors said Roscoe, along with another man, Jonathon Aiden, hit Kenney on the head with a hard object and then ran him over with a vehicle.
Kenney was taken to U-M Hospital, where police questioned him on at least two occasions before he died from the injuries on Sept. 14, 2006. Roscoe, an ex-Democratic candidate for Putnam Township supervisor, wasn't arrested and charged in the case until 2011.
"This has been a long and arduous process for the Kenny family and the sheriff's investigators who worked tirelessly to bring this case to trial," said Washtenaw County Assistant Prosecutor Dianna Collins. "I am sure it was a difficult trial for the jurors who were clearly diligent in discharging their duty. The Kenney family was gratified to see that the court system works and that justice was done."
Roscoe remains in the Washtenaw County Jail, where he is being held without bond.

The global supply of angostura bitters, a unique-tasting herbal additive to cocktails like the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned, is drying up after its manufacturer's financial woes caused a production shutdown at the sole plant that makes it in Trinidad and Tobago, the Guardian reports.
Patrick Sepe, chief executive of the US distributor, Angostura USA, told the Guardian that production halted in June and is just now getting back on track. "There has been a shortage," Sepe told the newspaper. "You can't just turn on and off supply of bitters. It's not like producing bottled water; it's a very delicate, intricate process."
Mixologist Scott Beattie, author of the cocktail how-to "Artisanal Cocktails," told Slashfood that for most bars, the angostura variety, invented in 1924, is the only type of bitters stocked and that a shortage will have an impact on cocktail drinkers everywhere.

I adore this ad from an old issue of Vanity Fair (June 2012). It's got it all. Shop the collection here, and take a look at some other lovely pairs of sunglasses I found whilst browsing the online shops. First one is ASOS, two through six, Net-A-Porter. Just keep in mind... the lowest price is $160. Not exactly within my budget. So if you're gonna pop some cash (and only got 20 dollars in your pocket) Forever 21 never fails.

the 21st is the TNL South Carolina thing.
Since Ramon is leaving NYC for San Francisco, let's get together and send him off in style.
Let's nail down a time and we can figure out where. I am thinking Friday night/Saturday or Sunday lunch/dinner. This weekend would actually be perfect for me but it might be too short of a notice.
Someone suggest a decent bar/restaurant, heck, maybe we can do bowling or something.
the 21st is the TNL South Carolina thing.
Anthony: I don't really care if she takes all the dicks in france.
Well we don't have a lot of weekends till he leaves. For those who aren't going to SC, that's still available.
This is for mainly for new York TNL guys. Who can make it fine. If not, no worries.
I'll be grown-up enough to not make the obvious jokes about why Ramon is heading to San Francisco.
Besides, we all know why he's really going.
Dolemite, the Bad-Ass King of all Pimps and Hustlers
Gymkata: I mean look at da lil playah woblin his way into our hearts in the sig awwwwwww
I don't.
I'd rather sooner. Like this weekend. Anything after is just rough.
Oh well. See you at the TNL California meetup.
Anthony: I don't really care if she takes all the dicks in france.
Well, when is it you want to come? There are only two weekends left ...

In News We Missed: SIAC Adds Non-HBCU
Not only does the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference keep growing, it's also breaking new ground. On Oct. 2, the Division 2-based conference announced the addition of Alabama's Spring Hill College to its ranks. The Roman-Catholic Liberal Arts school will be the first non-Historically Black College or University affiliated with the SIAC.
The SIAC becomes the second major HBCU based sports conference to add a non-HBCU, joining the CIAA who added Chowan University in 2007.
"We are pleased about the prospect of Spring Hill College becoming a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference," SIAC Commissioner Greg Moore said. "Not only is Spring Hill College an institution with strong academics and athletics, but they were also cited by Dr. King for its commitment to racial justice and equality in his 'Letter from a Birmingham Jail.'"
Spring Hill is currently a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC). They do not, however, currently field a football team. In August, he SIAC announced Central State would be joining the conference on a football only basis. Spring Hill will continue to hold membership in the NAIA and the SSAC through the 2013-2014 academic year, but will play a full schedule against SIAC opponents beginning in 2014-2015.

Selected traditional collections of south Indian recipes are explained with easy steps and photos. Some of the traditional healthy and tasty varieties are vatha kuzhambu, Puliogre, Ragi mudde, Mukkala pulusu, Kappa etc
The entire living creature in the earth is composed of five elements and they are:Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. These basic 5 elements that determine what we are. Without any one of these we cannot live harmony. If there is an unbalance in any one of the five elements it may lead to tension, pressure and angry. These four elements (Except space) rule the Zodiac. The Zodiac rules our diet. Believe it, it's true.
Parotta & Kurma are inseparable.Most of us would have tasted Parota & Kurma at hotels or road side motels or even on the road side hotels. But have you ever thought to prepare this great mouth watering dish at home. Its easy. With little practice even you can prepare this recipe. Paratha is prepared from wheat flour and it is available in most of the north Indian hotels. The south Indian style Parotta is prepared from Maida. Feast this great recipe to your taste buds.
Everyone loves samosa. It is easy to prepare at home. This samosa is stuffed with green peas and aloo. I am adding ajwain (Omam in tamil) for rich aroma, taste and digession. You can make nice new recipe from unused maida & samosa filling stuff. You can make kurma / gravy using the samosa's stuff and crispy snacks can be made from maida dough.
Sola Idli is a healthy breakfast recipe which is alternative to your daily and routine normal idli. Solam (Proso millet) is white in color and had been in wide usage several thousands years back in India and China. It has rich in minerals and vitamins. Those who have skin allergy please avoid.
