LAKE WORTH -- Finding an acceptable temporary replacement for Main Street Director Diane Fenner isn`t as easy as it might appear on the surface, City Manager Ken Nipper admitted Thursday.
``It`s a lot easier to find somebody permanent than it is to find a temporary manager,`` Nipper said.
With a planned trip to a national city managers convention looming this weekend and a vacation afterward, Nipper said he was trying to find someone suitable to head the program for two or three months until a new full-time manager can be hired.
Fenner, in the midst of a running squabble with City Commissioners Ed Shepherd and Larry Langlais since mid-summer, announced three weeks ago that she would not renew her contract when it expires at the end of this month.
Nipper said he had talked to clothier Don Fountain, whose downtown store is going out of business, as well as Fenner and others, but hasn`t yet made a selection.
The possibility of Fenner remaining past the end of her contract doesn`t seem likely considering the circumstances, he said, although she has continued to receive strong support from downtown merchants.
Nipper has sent letters to 64 people in the community asking for suggestions, assistance or the ``loan`` of an employee to fill the Main Street post temporarily.
Meanwhile, Florida Main Street officials are ``keeping in touch`` with developments in Lake Worth, said state Main Street Director Vivian Young, although cancellation of the program by the state does not seem likely at this point.
``As long as they hire a new manager, they are basically within the requirements of the program,`` Young said. She said she plans to meet with community and program leaders in Lake Worth in a few weeks to discuss the situation.

Need opinions if my soon to be ex is addicted to percocet. Here are a few facts and details. Thanks in advance for your help!! Great Website!
1. Been married 4 years. Were joined at the hip when we first met and loved each other very much.
2. Our Daughter was born 2 years into the marriage. Wife did everything she was suppose to during the pregnancy. Very excited about being a Mother.

4. January 2010 her Dad commits suicide but she hasn't had a relationship or conversation with him in over 8 years. She says this has made her depression deeper.
5. I'm noticing her sleeping all the time and acting a bit strange. Disconnected from out Daughter.
6. Fast forward to Novemember 2010..She now has lost 70 lbs. Looks very sick.
7. I find 270 percocet pills from 2 different doctors, 2 different pharmacys, filled 5 days apart. I confront her and she tells me she not addicted and they are off limits to me. I finally got her to allow me to count them. She was average 7.5 pills/day.
8. I get a letter in the mail from my insurance company voicing their concern of her useage and listed all the drs., pharmacys, dates and qty.'s and they were sending letters to all the Drs. shes received percocet from
9. October - December she received 720 Percocet over that 90 day period and shes now complaining her shoulder hurts but after 3 MRI's Drs. can't find anything wrong and send her to pain management dr.
10. After seeing pain management for 90 days, dr. asks to see her pain pill bottle and notices 2 types of percocet pills then leaves the room and returns to make her sign a contract. This sends the wife into extreme anger. Wife no longer shes this dr. after she signed the contract.
11. Fast forward to May 2011. Receive another letter from insurance. January to march see gets 650 percocet during this 90 day period. From muliple doctors and pharmacys. Still complaining of shoulder pain and migraines.
12. May 2011 shes complaining of migraine so my Dad offers her a percocet so she decides to take the bottle..not a pill or two but actually takes the bottle. Dad is shocked. He has them due to repeat kidney stones and there were 14 pills in the bottle.

Sorry for being so long but wanted everyone to have the details. Now to the questions:
1. Does it appear she's hooked on percocet?
2. Do most addicts have no care in the world for loved ones?
3. Why is everything my fault?
4. If she got clean, would she return to her old self?
5. What does it take for her to realize she has a problem.

BTTR (pronounced better), which stands for "Back to the Roots," was started by Nikhil Arora and Alex Velez after they graduated from UC Berkeley last year.

And so, they created a 100% sustainable urban mushroom farm in Berkeley (which now diverts 10,000 lbs/wk of coffee grounds from Peet's Coffee & Tea, produces 500 lbs/wk of fresh oyster mushrooms, and sustains 10 urban school and community gardens by donating post-harvest grounds which have turned into nutrient-rich compost from the leftover mushroom roots).
BTTR now brings sustainable mushroom farming into your own kitchen with their Easy-to-Grow Mushroom Garden ($19.95). Just open the box, mist it twice a day, and watch your own science experiment grow. Harvest up to 1 pound of oyster mushrooms in as little as 10 days, and harvest as many as four crops.
This is the ultimate feel-good gift of the year. Support young entrepreneurs, recycle would-be waste, grow your own delicious , sustainable, as-local-as-it-gets mushrooms, and help raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation all at the same time (through December 5% of sales will be donated to support breast cancer research). This officially puts you on Santa's Nice List. *DEAL ALERT* Use the code: LICKMYSPOON and receive 20% off through 12/31.

Since others have this thread here, I thought it would be okay to make one for myself.
Feel free to ask me anything
Are video games a big thing in Scotland? I suppose this is kind of relative, but here in the States practically every young male plays them.
Do you wear underwear under your kilt?
I believe the correct term for people from Scotland is actually Scotts,not Scottish. Agree Derri? Although both are fine?
Hey Derri! Answer me this, why does my 9 year old take a higher math class then College basketball players?
Ultimately both are fine and I've been refereed to as Scot or Scottish and both are fine to use. I honestly don't know if the word Scot is more correct over the word Scottish. A quick google search tells me that both are politically correct to refer to someone as being Scottish or refer to the Scottish nation as a whole. They do say context is important but ultimately both are fine like you said.
I've probably given you a longer answer but I wanted to perhaps explain this as fully as possible.
Derri, I feel you may be the only one in the world to answer this question for me: Summer or Winter?
"You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall.
But in time, they will join you in the sun, Kal. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders."
In all seriousness I tend to prefer winter because I sweat a lot so ultimately I do prefer winter. I actually prefer the autumn months where its that stage between summer and winter where its not numbingly cold but isn't hot. I used to prefer summer when I was really young because I use to get out the giant paddling pool where I'd just relax in the cool water.
Can you teach me Scottish accent so I can pick up girls more easily?
Derri, why aren't we friends on PS4?
"You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall.
But in time, they will join you in the sun, Kal. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders."
How many licks does it take you to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
*Runs to PS4 and adds Haze*
shall we tell the readers here what is actually in a haggis ( despite knowing i think they taste amazing
Also, even though i'm English, with Nordic roots i have to say, Edinburgh, probably the finest city in the world
Also isn't it ( ahem ) true that haggis live on hills, have 2 legs shorter on their left side, so if they turn right, they then fall to the bottom and that's where the scots pick them up to eat them
cough cough... i'm sure that's true


text: people here talk about motivation... if this doesn't motivate you, then nothing will. The Real Numbers: Half of America Lives in Poverty -- and It's Creeping toward 75% May 26, 2013 The Census Bureau has reported that one out of six Americans lives in poverty. A shocking figure, but it's actually much, much worse. The Census Bureau has reported that one out of six Americans lives in poverty. A shocking figure. But it's actually much worse. Inequality is spreading like a shadowy disease through our country, infecting more and more households, and leaving a shrinking number of financially secure families to maintain the charade of prosperity. 1. Almost half of Americans had NO assets in 2009. Their debt exceeded their assets in 2009. 2. It's Even Worse 3 Years Later. Since the recession, the disparities have continued to grow. An OECD report states that "inequality has increased by more over the past three years to the end of 2010 than in the previous twelve," with the U.S. experiencing one of the widest gaps among OECD countries. The 30-year decline in wages has worsened since the recession, as low-wage jobs have replaced formerly secure middle-income positions. 3. Based on wage figures, over half of Americans are now IN poverty. According to IRS data, the average household in the bottom 50% brings in about $18,000 per year. That's less than the poverty line for a family of three ($19,000) or a family of four ($23,000). Census income figures are about 25% higher, because they include unemployment compensation, workers' compensation, Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, public assistance, veterans' payments, and various other monetary sources. Based on this supplemental income, the average household in the bottom 50% brings in about $25,000., which is just above the $23,000. poverty line for a family of four. 4. Based on wage figures, 75% of Americans are NEAR poverty. According to IRS data, the average household in the bottom 75% earns about $31,000. per year. To be eligible for food assistance, a family can earn up to 130% of the federal poverty line, or about $30,000. for a family of four. Again, Census income figures are about 25% higher because of SNAP reporting requirements, bringing average household income for the bottom 75% to about $39,000. 5. Putting it into Perspective. Inequality is at its ugliest for the hungriest people. While food support was being targeted for cuts, just 20 rich Americans made as much from their 2012 investments as the entire 2012 SNAP (food assistance) budget, which serves 47 million people. http://www.alternet.org/economy/real-numbers-half-america-poverty-and-its-creeping-toward-75-0

You should know about Erb's Palsy Awareness Week
Chances are you don't know about Erb's palsy. (If you do, you should probably still read this article.) Here to change that and highlight why all expectant parents should be aware is Steven Hole, one of our very own customer service administrators.
Erb's palsy is a birth injury that results in damage to an infant's brachial plexus – a system of nerves in the shoulder and upper arm. Each baby's injury is individual. The damage to each nerve can range from bruising to tearing, meaning some infants make a full recovery while others are paralysed for life.
The condition is usually caused by shoulder dystocia during an obstructed labour, whereby after the delivery of the head, the anterior shoulder of the infant cannot easily pass below the mother's pubic bone. Shoulder dystocia occurs is 1 in 200 births (0.5%). And up to 1 in 10 babies born with shoulder dystocia have brachial plexus injuries.
Here's Steve to tell you more...
What do you do at World First and how long have you been with the company?
I am customer service administrator. I take calls from customers running through travel insurance quotes over the phone and deal with any queries.
How did you originally get involved with World First? Why did you want to work here?
I really enjoy helping customers and giving the best customer service. I have worked within the financial sector before and really enjoyed the variation.
What's your personal experience with Erb's palsy? How has it affected you?
My youngest son Max was born in 2015. During labour he sustained a preventable birth injury. This has caused untold worry about how he will cope growing up as his injury is so severe that he cannot use his right arm.
Max had eight hours of surgery at four months old to try and salvage the nerves that had been avulsed (torn out) from the spinal cord.
How does Erb's Palsy impact your daily life?
Max has to have physiotherapy several times a day, which can sometimes cause him and us as parents distress due to the pain he experiences. The condition also affects his balance as he has no support on the right side. As he grows up he will require a lot of alterations to cars, his home and so on to live independently.
Do you think Erb's palsy is a misunderstood condition?
Less misunderstood, more unknown. I had never heard of Erb's palsy before we had Max.
You are organising a bake sale in the World First office during Erb's Palsy Awareness Week. Why do you want to help raise awareness of the condition?
I would like to raise awareness of this condition as this is a preventable birth injury as long as the right training is in place and the correct manoeuvres are used when there is a shoulder dystocia.
What could readers of the World First blog do to help?
Simply taking a few minutes to read up on what Erb's is will help prevent this happening to other babies. They can also donate to the registered charity Erb's Palsy Group or get involved with Erb's Palsy Awareness Week, which takes place from Monday 26th June to 2nd July.
Erb's palsy is a highly variable condition. What advice would you give to parents whose infants have been newly diagnosed?
There is support out there in the way of the Erb's Palsy Group and on Facebook where other parents/"Erblings" are there to offer help and advice. More importantly if they suspect that there baby has Erb's then they should see a specialist for assessment.
World First specialise in medical travel insurance. How would you describe the general level of medical knowledge among the customer service team?
We have a high standard of medical knowledge due to our day-to-day experiences dealing with varied amount of conditions and customers. We also have support from the medical underwriter who are trained nurses.
Finally, where's your favourite place you have travelled to so far? And where do you intend to visit on holiday next?
I went to Kenya on our honeymoon and went on an amazing safari where we saw around 50 elephants at one watering hole. Next we are going on a family holiday to Menorca with my in-laws. We have booked a lovely villa with a private swimming pool. I have already purchased our travel insurance with World First who cover Erb's palsy.

Gomez sore but ready to roll
DEL MAR, Calif. - At about half past four on Wednesday afternoon, shortly after the start of the sixth race at Del Mar, North America's leading jockey found himself tumbling along a patch of hot Polytrack at the mouth of the six-furlong chute after his mount, Bella Dancer, decided to make an unscheduled left-hand turn.
It hurt, although it did not hurt bad enough to keep Gomez from getting back on a horse in the very next race to win the $80,000 Harry F. Brubaker Handicap aboard Hyperbaric for trainer Julio Canani and Prestonwood Farm. Nor did the crash prevent a predictably stiff and sore Gomez from showing up the next morning at the Kathy Walsh barn to work Georgie Boy, the major stakes winner nearing a comeback from a muscle injury.
"It wasn't like I was jacking her away from there, or popping her on the shoulder with my stick," Gomez said late Thursday morning. "She was almost at top speed, and I was just getting my weight transferred over her withers. She just made a left. I thought, 'Whoa, where'd that come from?' "
Gomez and Bella Dancer broke from the 2-hole, which put them in the line of fire with Lucky Mite and Brice Blanc to their inside.
"Yeah, it was close," Gomez said. "I saw his feet."
Close enough. As for the experience of landing hard on a synthetic racetrack, Gomez tried to be diplomatic.
"I've got nothing but good things to say about Polytrack . . . until I hit it," Gomez said. "That stuff is like hitting glue, or gum. You don't roll. You stick. The good thing is that there's enough of a cushion to take a little bit of the concussion. On regular dirt, you'll roll more, and that helps. But it can be a whole lot harder if you get to the bottom. On dirt, I probably would have broken my shoulder. Yesterday, it rang my bell pretty good, so I just laid there for a minute to make sure I was all right."
Then he went back to work.
"One of the main reasons I rode after going down was that I wanted to keep my muscles moving," Gomez explained. "That way I wouldn't stiffen up too bad, so I wouldn't be too sore today and maybe have to take off."
Any loss of time in the saddle would have been expensive. On paper, Gomez can look forward to the kind of weekend most riders only read about. Saturday he will be at Saratoga to join Santa Anita Derby winner Colonel John for what everyone seems to agree is a million-dollar Travers Stakes that almost anyone can win.
Then, back in California on Sunday, Gomez will be riding champion sprinter Midnight Lute as he returns in the $300,000 Pat O'Brien Handicap, ace turf horse Whatsthescript in the $400,000 Del Mar Mile, and then morning-line favorite Go Between in the $1 million Pacific Classic.
"Colonel John's been working real good since his last race," Gomez said, referring to a third-place comeback in the Swaps at Hollywood Park. "He's the kind of horse I can put anywhere in the race, and that's a big asset."
The massive Midnight Lute has not run since November of 2007.
"He covers so much ground, he's unbelievable," Gomez said. "He's always handled the Polytrack, and he's been working lights out over it lately. Any horse who could handle that soup pile at Monmouth in the Breeders' Cup last year shouldn't have trouble handling anything."
Gomez will be riding American Handicap winner Whatsthescript for the first time.
"I'm excited about riding him," he said. "I had a chance to work him last weekend, and he's a very nice, professional little horse. Go Between, I know should run his race. He's never run a bad one for me on a synthetic track. There was no speed when he was second [to Mast Track] in the Hollywood Gold Cup, and he was really the only one closing on him. If he can just bring a race like he's run the last few times, he'll be tough."
A reasonable return on such a lineup figures to pad the $13.6 million in purses accumulated by Gomez through Wednesday's racing. After winning the national championship and his first Eclipse Award in 2007, Gomez had maintained his reign at the top this season the old-fashioned, Jerry Bailey way, by winning rich stakes often and anywhere they have been offered, with star mares Hystericalady and Black Mamba leading the way.
In the meantime, other riders have stolen the spotlight. Kent Desormeaux dominated the headlines through the Triple Crown. Rafael Bejarano won titles at Santa Anita and Hollywood Park and big races with Heatseeker and Ginger Punch. Edgar Prado added to a typically solid year with his election to the Hall of Fame. They all trail Gomez.
It should be remembered, too, that in Wednesday's sixth Gomez risked life and limb (along with the other seven guys in the race) for a shot at a share of a $30,000 purse and a $55 mount fee. For his trouble, Gomez got the fifty-five.
"My neck's a little stiff," Gomez said, "but I can't complain."

Update 9:58 p.m. It was a debate that lasted more than four hours, and was one in which dozens of House members wanted to express their opinion on this emotional issue.
Jericho Rep. George Till strongly supported the elimination of the exemption. He argued that parents still had other options if they didn't want to vaccinate their children, including the religious exemption.
"Nothing in this amendment forces a parent to vaccinate their child," Till said. "I vote to protect children and adults in our schools who are especially vulnerable to these dangerous vaccine preventable diseases."
And Barre Representative Paul Poirier said it was critical for the Legislature to protect those children who can't be immunized because they have a compromised immune system.
"And I would argue … that the right of a parent sometimes is trumped by what is in the best interests of society as a whole, and what is in the best interests of a smaller minority group," Poirier said.
Most of the debate focused on an amendment offered by Northfield Rep. Anne Donahue that would have retained the philosophical exemption but would have required parents to consult with a health care provider and review education materials on the benefits of vaccines in order to receive the exemption.
That amendment was narrowly defeated by a vote of 73 to 71. The House then moved on to the larger issue of the philosophical exemption.
Bradford Rep. Sarah Copeland-Hanzas said the plan would do little to boost Vermont's immunization rates.
"Isolating fearful parents into home schooling or using the religious exemption does nothing to protect an unvaccinated person," she said.
And Montpelier Rep. Warren Kitzmiller also opposed the elimination of the philosophical exemption.
"There is something deep in the core of my being, though, and it simply will not allow me to vote to remove a parent's right to make this serious decision on what is in the best interest of their child."
The Senate has already approved a measure that drops philosophical exemption, but this bill will be sent back to the Senate for its review because there are some minor differences between the approach taken by the House and the Senate.
From original post 7:02 p.m. For the past month, lawmakers have been subjected to an intense lobbying effort by both supporters and opponents of a plan to remove the philosophical exemption.
Vermont currently has three exemptions: for medical conditions, for religious beliefs, and for philosophical reasons. Roughly 6 percent of the parents of all public and private school kindergarten students claim an exemption for at least one of the five mandatory vaccines, and the vast majority are philosophical.
The House spent all afternoon debating a compromise amendment proposed by Northfield Rep. Anne Donahue. Her plan, which failed in a 71-73 vote, would have left the philosophical exemption in place but required parents to consult with a health care provider and review educational materials before being granted the exemption.
Donahue argued that her plan would do a better job of raising Vermont's immunization rate.
"I believe that my proposal in fact has better opportunities, greater opportunities to see an increase in our immunization rate while still protecting that choice for a tiny minority of parents who need to make those choices for their children," Donahue says.
Burlington Rep. Kurt Wright urged his colleagues to support the amendment.
"I think those two efforts together potentially could solve this problem and still speak to the parents who have a legitimate safety concerns for their children," Wright says. "I don't think we should ignore either side in this debate."
Jericho Rep. George Till strongly supports eliminating the philosophical exemption. He said the Donahue amendment would achieve very little.
"This amendment does not accommodate both sides. It's not a middle ground," Till said. "This is clearly on the side of the anti-vaccination people who want to preserve the philosophical exemption."
Burlington Rep. Chris Pearson compared people who don't believe the scientific benefits of vaccines to individuals who deny that climate change exists. Pearson opposed the amendment because it didn't go nearly far enough.
"It is not about an individual's choice or an individual's right. It is about trusting scientific process that has brought us this development and whether or not we trust that process," Pearson says.
The vaccine debate is part of an underlying bill that expands the state's disease data reporting system.

WinIt: New iPhone App Fights Parking Tickets in NYC
May 21, 2015, 03:30 ET
NEW YORK, May 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- New York City issues millions of dollars in parking violations every year. In 2014, NYC parking tickets totaled approximately $546 million, but many of those fines are issued wrongfully. However, most people cannot take the time and effort to contest a parking ticket violation, even if they think they received the ticket in error, so they just pay. Now, there is a new iPhone app that will fight the parking ticket for you. WinIt is a startup that has developed an easy-to-use mobile app that allows customers to dispute parking tickets.
The WinIt Parking Ticket Dispute Process
iPhone users simply have to download the free mobile app from the App Store and use it to take a photo of their parking ticket. WinIt then uses a team of seasoned parking ticket experts who have been fighting parking ticket violations for years. The team will then contest the ticket on their behalf in court. If their experts need additional information or evidence, they will get in contact with the user.
Fees Associated with the iPhone App
One of the most appealing features of this service is that the user never pays any fees up front, and submitting the NYC parking ticket is completely free. If WinIt does dispute the parking ticket and wins, then the user pays 50% of the original fine amount for this service. If the user is found guilty of the parking ticket violation, then the user can either pay the fine directly or WinIt will pay the parking ticket on the user's behalf. If the user is found guilty, he or she will have an extra 30 days to pay the fine without additional fees.
Users who are considering this service should download the mobile app and submit their parking ticket as soon as possible. The city may charge a penalty fee if the parking ticket violation is not addressed within 30 days. Before paying your parking ticket, let WinIt contest the ticket on your behalf. It is your right to contest the ticket. Let us Win It for you!

Put down the green food coloring, and back away slowly. That beer never did anything to you but try to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with you, so leave it alone. Why not do something nice for your beer and drop a little ice cream into it now and again?
St. Patrick's Day, like most holidays, gives us a welcome reason to celebrate with food and drink. But unlike most other holidays, it encourages us to turn those foods and drinks an unholy shade of green. Look. We get that Ireland is rather inextricably associated with the color, but let's try to be a bit more creative. How about a beer float recipe? Beer floats are one of our favorite ways to pretend we're kids again with an adult beverage. And the combination of beer and ice cream is rarely better than it is with a Guinness, or other dark, stout beer.
We found some of our favorite beer float recipes to celebrate with this year (including a few on the sweeter side, if you're into that kind of thing), which we're hoping will curb your craving for the green stuff. Sláinte!

Water Purifiers & Softeners in Reading, PA
Enjoy Cleaner, Purer Water in Your Home
When you drink the water that comes out of your faucets, does it have a metallic or mineral taste to it? Are your soap and shampoo not forming enough lather when you shower? You may be experiencing the effects of hard water. At Talarico Plumbing & Heating, we recommend our customers to invest in water purifying and softening equipment to help with the issues that result from hard water. Our Reading plumbers can handle the installation of all types of water purifiers and softeners and explain the benefits of installing them.
Benefits of Water Softener Equipment
Many homeowners do not realize the effects of hard water until they see the damage which has been done. Hard water is the minerals which are dissolved in your water. It can create stains in the toilets, tubs, and even when you wash your laundry or dishes. It can also leave soap scum, build-up inside your pipes, and affect the lifecycle of your pipes, appliances, and home.
Installing a water softener can help to reduce the minerals in the water entering your pipes and home. This brings mineral free, softer water into your home, which does less damage to your appliances, pipes, and fixtures. We can perform a test on your water to see if a water softener is necessary.
The benefits of investing in a water softener include:
- Eliminating build-up causing damage to your pipes and appliances
- Improved feeling of softness for your hair and skin
- Less damage to your clothes and laundry machine
- Reducing lime scale and scope scum in the bathrooms
Improve Water Quality with a Water Purifier
Do you have concerns about the purity of the water you are drinking? Or perhaps you would like to eliminate the need for plastic water bottles by installing a purification system? Our Reading plumbers can help you select the right purifier and install it safely into your existing plumbing system.
To learn about our quality products or to request a free estimate, call us now at (610) 624-2177!

Hear what Shannon Harris and Helena Ryel Jacobsen has to say about Danish Skin Care
Sam Silkevej
I have had many small blackhead and now I have used your products since it entered the door for 1-2 weeks ago. There no irritation. Merry Christmas Mads. Thanks for the gift ;)
Very efficient products! I could see their positive effect on my skin in just 14 days.
Heidi Fosselius
Good service, fast delivery and great products. I placed the order on a Monday and received them on Wednesday. I have tried the products before, and when I want to try something different, I always end up coming back to these products. My skin has never looked healthier and prettier.
Pernille Simonsen
I received my goods the day after ordering.
I am very impressed with the commercials do not lie – this time .. products actually works :-)
Great products, super service, delivered right to your door. Everyone in the family uses it, even the boys – father and son – probably because it comes from a young guy who knows what he is talking about ;-)
No problems with delivery!
I have for years struggled with acne and spots. After just a few weeks with Danish Skin Care's products, the problems are pretty much gone.
What you see is what you get!
No frills with the packaging of Danish Skin Care products, just a good, clean product that brings the natural beauty ahead.
I'm not a movie star or model, but my skin is nourished and feels soft – and all natural!
The product (Smooth Skin Daily Exfoliator) was delivered the day after I ordered it. This product works! I have had no breakouts since I began using the product, and at the same time, the product has reduced the red marks.
Satisfied customer
Usually I am skeptical when reading about how products can get your skin under control. Without sounding like various skin care manufacturers that promise you the moon, these products ARE really amazing!
Helle Bundgaard Larsen
I suffer from rosacea and for about a week now, I have used Mads Timmermand's products.
It looks like it's subsiding.
Hope it will continue.
Normally, I never write reviews of anything, but this product deserves nothing short of praise. I chose to buy the exfoliator and the lip balm.
The exfoliator has worked wonders for my skin, I have had acne, since I was 12. It has tormented me that I haven't been able to find a product that helped even just a little bit. I have chosen to eat healthier, I've stayed away from gluten, and after that I started using the exfoliator every other night.
I have gone from having break outs on my chin, forehead and gigantic pores and blackheads, to having no break outs and smaller pores for about 2 months. But there is little to say about the lip balm. Nothing special about it and you really don't get much for your money. I could hardly find it in the box, it's that small. But other than that, I will recommend the exfoliator to anyone who battling with acne or greasy skin.
Sabrine Benmoumou
Will clearly recommend DanishSkinCare. Ordered my product and received it a few days later. In all, a quick and problem-free deal.
Marie Luise
Have bought the product for the second time and have just smelled the exfoliator, it smells like bubble gum…
But other than that, I like the new design…of the bottle…but it really Doesn't match the rest of the kit, but look forward to smearing the smell of bubble gum on my face :-) and btw, it's time for a new speaking in Copenhagen very soon
Rene Petersen
Bad experiences with other e-shops and Christmas just around the corner made me a little nervous, so 2 days after I placed my order I contacted Danish skincare to make sure that everything was ok. Immediately, they checked up on my order, the package arrived that very day and they next day I received an email. They just wanted to check, if I had received my package. Unique service!
Thank you.
Great and quick service. Although there have been some problems with GLS.
Both the products, the webshop and the service you receive when shopping with DanishSkinCare is just great. I'm very happy and will definitely shop with Danish Skin Care in the future!
Love the skincare line :-)
And their service is fantastic. Highly recommended!
…also when there are problems.
The products are delicious and they work. I have had some problems with packaging and leaking. But already the next morning, there was a positive response in my mailbox. Even though they didn't know about the problem, they more than covered my expenses I lost because of the leak. Really good service!
And also, it was a very quick delivery of the products.
Anna Liv
For almost 3 months, I have used the products from Danish Skin Care, and I'm just so happy and satisfied! After only 1 week I experienced a significant change on my skin, it weren't as greasy as before and more radiant and clean.
And also, the employees have been really nice and helpful in answering all my questions, both when I was buying the products for the first time, but also when I've more general questions of how to use the products and with their help I really feel that I've bought what's just right!
I highly recommend it and it's worth every penny.
I have great expectations even if I am a little dry from exfoliating.
Maria Nissen
Perfect delivery they called when I wasn't home and left the package with my Neighbor
Have used the products for a couple of months. Unfortunately, my acne has not gotten better, but my skin's not greasy anymore and the big breakouts go away quicker.
Maria Puk
I've bought cleansing gel and exfoliator and think that they are both really great products.
I can feel that my skin has become smoother from the exfoliator and almost all my whiteheads are gone after 1 week. But I still walk around with 2-3 spots on each of my cheeks. Don't know if it's because my crème is for greasy skin which I really had when I bought the product. But now I have more dry skin from using it. The crème is from Murad.
Unfortunately, I think that my skin becomes more dry from using the products. The Cleansing Gel is good and leaves my skin fresh and clean, but the exfoliator is not mild enough for my skin and my skin is peeling and is very dry, even if I only use it every other day. The moisturizer is fine, but it is not moisturizing enough to correct the dry skin I get from the exfoliator. So unfortunately I am not completely satisfied and don't think the products are as mild as they are described to be.
But good delivery, received the products the day after I had ordered them.
Trine Christensen
Danish Skin Care has very quick delivery. How the products work is un-determined, as I have only just received them.
Have used the products for 2 weeks now. Can see a big change! My skin is a lot more soft and my acne is a whole lot better! Saying thanks a lot to Mads, so far I'm very satisfied!
Nina Bech
Really amazing concept and really quick delivery. Thank you so much! :-)
Fantastic products and quick delivery. I'm very satisfied!
Mette Jensen
Super service and quick delivery. I have normal/combined skin with a tendency towards acne. Have now been using the products for roughly 14 days and after the first couple of days, I could see a visible reduction of spots. And also, my skin felt nice and soft. This has now changed, because my skin feels dry and slightly irritated, in spite that I only use the Exfoliator at night.
Giving it a couple of weeks more to see, how it develops. Hope it is just a transition period.
I was treated very good when one of my products leaked and ended up in my suitcase – without discussion I received a new one.
I think these are really good products.
Since I was in doubt of which products to choose, I sent an email, that I received a response to the very next day. It helped me a lot in choosing products. Delivery time was very short.
I had read about the products online and wanted skincare without perfume and such. I tend to have acne, but chose the crème for normal skin and as always my skin needed to adjust, but now I'm really satisfied. I still have a little acne and a few spots, so considering to choose the crème for greasy skin next time.
All in all great products.
Super quick delivery! The package was left at the assigned place – it was really clever – nothing to complain about! I received an odd sized package, but as a good service I also received chocolate! Mmm! Am completely satisfied with the delivery!
I'm really happy with the products. They are effective, easy to use and keeps any acne (spots) in check! Also, they come in practical packaging which is easy to store in your bathroom cabinet or your toiletries bag when travelling! You receive great input continuously via newsletters with good videos on how to take better care of your skin, and last but not least the great service when you write or call the company. And, you get express delivery and a follow-up from the company when you have ordered.
Karen Leth
I have only had it for 1 week and already I can see a difference almost all my whiteheads are gone
Eva Laursen
Since this summer, I've used your products and before that I used execuviance, but I must say that I really like yours. Tried for short time going back to the old crème again, but you can clearly see a difference in both the vitality and the tightening.
I'm 44 years old and eat healthily, probably like Paleolithic diet. And still I can feel and see nice difference.
Thank you for you and your knowledge.
Mette april wassinger
I had to wait over 1 week for my delivery. Good contact with customer service.
Quick delivery

Hey guys! I'm terribly sorry for the non-existing updates over the last couple of days.
On the weekend, a good friend of mine came to visit me at Uni and I was way too busy to take pictures or blog, as I really just wanted to enjoy her being around. However, that is not the main reason why I didn't blog, as my laptop is officially dead and I decided to wait until my family comes to visit me in two weeks, to have my dad take it back to Luxembourg and either get it fixed or replaced. This means that I won't have a laptop for at least 3-4 weels, which will make blogging quite a challenge, especially since Photoscape isn't installed on any Uni computers, so I'll have to edit all my pictures on my friend's laptop. I will try to update a couple of times per week though, probably editing pictures with my friend's laptop and then writing the posts in the library or on my phone.
I'll leave it at this for now and add some of my favourite current tunes! Talk to you soon xo

Panasonic's most affordable OLED to date, the TX55EZ952B delivers a truly stunning picture quality.
The finest screen technology - OLEDWelcome to the finest TV screen technology - OLED. Organic Light-Emitting Diode - OLED - TV offers perhaps the most advanced picture quality currently available. Unlike LED screens, OLED doesn't require backlighting, so the colour is consistent right across the screen, with greatly enhanced contrast levels.Ultra Bright Panel and Studio Colour HCX2 processing for stunning realismThis Panasonic 55" TV features an Ultra Bright, 10-bit, panel. This gives vivid detail that helps make images more realistic than ever. For the ultimate in accurate picture processing, the Studio Colour HCX2 processor is tuned in Hollywood to deliver image quality exactly as the filmmaker intended.THX certifiedThe final seal of approval for picture quality comes from cinema experts THX. THX was founded by legendary film maker George Lucas, with the aim of improving cinematic experience. TVs have to pass 400 lab tests within 30 categories to receive THX certification - something that very few TVs manage to do, making the TX-55EZ952B a first amongst equals.HDR now with HLG compatibilityThe Panasonic TX-55EZ952B is compatible with HDR (High Dynamic Range). HDR extends the range of colours for enhanced realism. It also delivers brighter whites and darker blacks, helping to give this TV stunning levels of contrast. HDR10 and HLG formats are both covered. HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma HDR) is a broadcast and user generated standard format that is set to become the standard for transmitting 4K signals.VR-Audio True Surround +Although still not a match for a separate home cinema system, the sound quality on the TX55EZ952B is excellent by TV standards. Stereo speakers plus twin passive radiators provide a fuller and richer sound. Added to this, VR-Audio True Surround + creates a spacious and 'open' sound quality.Smart operator and Voice Assistantmy Home Screen 2 and Info Frame screens offer an attractive and clear operating interface which is also easy to customise. By using clear, superimposed icons, it's easy to find the function you want. With just a few clicks you can get your favourite apps, web pages or even TV channels to appear on your own customised homepage. Crystal clear and easy to customise; this is how Smart TV should be! Voice Assistant means you simply have to speak into the controller to bring up content and search results.Bringing it all togetherWhen it comes to smart TV flexibility, the TX55EZ952B has all the features you need. A wide range of web apps are complimented by a full web browser. DLNA certified streaming makes it easy to transfer music and video files from your home computer, laptop or NAS drive to the TV. Also standard is Swipe and Share functionality. Swipe and share lets you use the Panasonic VIERA app for smartphone media sharing. By using the app on your smartphone or tablet you can easily stream pictures, 4K videos and music straight to the TV - no cables required.Twin tuners and Freesat HD for flexible viewingAs well as Freeview HD, the TX55EZ952B also boasts Freesat HD. This is a great, subscription-free, alternative to other satellite TV providers and offers all main stations usually available via digital 'aerial' TV.

"They fired her for gaining weight. Now she's fighting back with every ounce she's got."
Former Miss Arizona 2004 and Channel 18 spokesmodel, Vanessa Charbonne, has been fired with her crown revoked all due to an unsavory and very public DUI. Or was it because she gained too much weight? Perhaps it was because she was sleeping with the married head of the network. Either way, she's got 100 hours of community service to finish, and Probation Officer Marty has offered to let her do an educational online lifestyle show (like Martha Stewart living) for the women of her sleepy Arizona town. Watch as the now plus sized Vanessa tries to get her job, her crown, and her dignity back -- one lifestyle lesson at a time!

Discover MoMA, a large touchscreen installation, helps orient visitors to all of MoMA's various, ever-changing exhibits by showcasing all of the exhibits in an easily digestible, visual format. By including recollection algorithms, Discover MoMA makes this experience more engaging using the sentiments of previous visitors.
Team members: Anupma, Marcelo, Rachel
Brief: Deliver a user journey for CenterStage at MoMA
Deliverables: A visual user journey walking through and Mockups
Objectives: Understand large scaled screen interactions
Research & Insights
"Sometimes it gives you an extra experience… I like the touchscreen for information. Who is this artist? What is he doing? Or what else they've done."
"I like them [the digital experiences in the Matisse exhibit] for their simplicity and the fact that they aren't overly digital."
"You feel you are more proactive. You can choose what kind of information you want to have…But sometimes you can get lost because you have a lot of information."
We visited MoMA asking people what their thoughts on digital experience in the museums in general. Most of them had a positive experience and answered they had a hard time navigating the museum, due to its size and complexity, meaning it's a possible area of improvement.
Our Approach
We set a goal to design an experience that uses the sentiments of previous visitors to help new visitors in the discovery of exhibits of their interest and give them a starting point for planning their day at the MoMA. We picked MoMA's entrance hall for its location where people usually line up to buy tickets and wait until they can get in.
Initial Concept
Some initial concept sketches illustrate various ways of using CenterStage to navigate visitors. Since the screen is much larger than ones used in normal computer or other mobile devices, we were required to design things more carefully.
Wireframes & Test
As we narrowed down and defined our concept, we faced the most challenging part which was adjusting image size and setting CTA icons' locations. It might look good on your computer screen, but that doesn't mean it works on every screen! Testing on the actual screen helped us figure out design problems.
Final Designs
We ended up having three mockup designs including intro, home and detailed page. After intro, user lands on home where the vertical logo automatically hides to the side and user can see general info about each page on the left two screens. User will see instructions before they start exploring. Once user finds an exhibition/ art work that's interesting, simply tap to see the details and navigate to the room where it locates.

Tribe 8 was one of my favorite bands of the 1990s. I followed them to the end of the earth — well, to the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival. They changed the world that year, smashing generation gaps and sending the ladies of the land into the moshpit. They never got their due and still don't; in Pitchfork's recent list of punk feminist anthems, their seminal voice is woefully MIA — still too rad for that site's chamber-music cultural feminism aesthetic. So I was thrilled to catch up recently with guitarist Flipper, now going by the name Silas Howard and an accomplished director of film and television. Here's how I wrote it up for the LA Weekly.

#GrrrlsonFiLMU Lineup Announced
I'm extremely pleased to announce the lineup of the Grrrls on Film festival at Loyola Marymount University March 18-20. We have an incredible array of films by, for, and about women. All participating filmmakers will be present, plus a few. There will also be a concert outdoors featuring Kim and the Created, Colleen Green, Peach Kelli Pop, KXLU DJs, spoken word, and more. The press release and complete schedule are below. We will be presenting more details during the upcoming weeks. And, it's all free!
Loyola Marymount University presents GRRRLS ON FILM, a free festival featuring films and music from groundbreaking female artists, on the LMU campus March 18, 19 and 20, 2016
Confirmed participants include Penelope Spheeris (The Decline of Western Civilization, Wayne's World), Floria Sigismondi (The Runaways), Karyn Kusama (Girlfight), Alice Bag (the Bags), Kim and the Created, Nao Bustamante, Phranc, Allison Wolfe (Bratmobile), Colleen Green, Kari Krome, Peach Kelli Pop, Nicole Panter, Raquel Gutiérrez, Jill Reiter (In Search of Margo-go) and Lizzie Borden (Born in Flames)
For Immediate Release — Grrrls on Film is a weekend-long celebration of the feminist acts of making sound and vision. The festival and forum at Loyola Marymount University gathers together pioneers in movies, music, art and activism to address what has become one of the hot-button social justice issues of our time: lack of diverse representation and expression in arts and entertainment. The event borrows its name from the Riot Grrrl movement of the 1990s, which fused the Do-It-Yourself credo of punk with Third Wave Feminism's call for self-determination. Continue reading

Girlschooled #musicbizsobro
Anna Bulbrook saws a mean fiddle and sings with a dreampop echo in the Bulls, Airborne Toxic Event, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. She has big eyes that make for a bold, direct stare and a bit of an Annie Lennox vibe. Those big eyes are capable of big vision. Bulbrook founded Girlschool to provide a platform for the many talented female musicians whom she felt were overlooked in the alternative rock scene. Thought became praxis this weekend when she booked a formidable gathering of women-led bands for three nights at the Bootleg Theater.
Making full use of the venue's capacious space, the audience Friday night was able to move from the Bulls at the Theater Stage to the powerful emoting of Miya Folick on the Bar Stage to the slick funk of Kitten back on the Theater Stage. And that was just Friday night. While there was a somewhat repetitious Lilith Fair vibe in that evening's bill, Saturday offered the raw power of Kim and the Created and the '90s pop grunge of Veruca Salt. Tonight, there's Allison Weiss, Kera and the Lesbians, and more. In volume (numbers) if not volume (decibels), Girlschool's Field Day Weekend aptly proves its point that there's no rhyme or reason in #musicbizsobro.
That said, the industry panel that kicked off the weekend was depressingly retro. Ten white women in their 30s and 40s all dressed in black perched on bar stools and complained how there were no women in their fields before them and, essentially, told women not to act like drunk sluts. It was a painful erasure of herstory and object lesson in how the radical activism of feminism can be reduced to self-help bandages for internalized misogyny. There was some useful conversation about the recent disclosures of sexual harassment by a predatory publicist; one woman spoke frankly about the decade's worth of indignities she had sloughed off as part of the price of being a woman in show biz, and how her consciousness had now been raised by this Twitter outing. However, instead of acknowledging all the women who had broken barriers before them (only manager Carol Shields got any love; what about Sylvia Rhone, Marilyn Laverty, Ann Powers, Liz Rosenberg, Frances Preston, [your name here]), panelists moaned about having to invent the wheel. When two journalists complained that they had no "elders" to guide them, the "elder" NPR reporter sitting next to me and I burst into laughter.
When the "experts" began telling the audience "not to fuck the band" and praised sobriety, I felt like Revolution Girl Style had never happened, and I was back at the New Music Seminar circa 1993. Fortunately, at that point, Fabi Reyna, editor in chief of She Shreds magazine, walked on stage. Younger than the others and not clad in black uniform, she proudly confessed her love of a drink or two, or even more. After all, if men can enjoy the pleasures of spending a lot of time in clubs, why can't women? Bulbrook speaks proudly about feminism, which is great; I love feminism. But as bell hooks and others have said, if we use this term lightly and vaguely, do we dilute its meaning? Sarah Banet-Weiser talks about how today's "pop feminism" puts the burden of social change on women, and particularly on girls, to empower themselves as individuals. Empowerment is certainly the goal of feminism, but the means should be to take down the structures of oppression by creating alliances with others who are oppressed, not gender equity through self-improvement.
Girlschool is getting that last part right. But they don't need to reinvent the wheel and spread a doctrine of 21st century chastity. The talk Friday got a bit wack. But the music was great.

Find more Dionne relatives and grow your tree by exploring billions of historical records. Taken every decade since 1790, the U.S. Federal Census can tell you a lot about your family. For example, from 1930 to 1940 there were 316 more people named Dionne in the United States — and some of them are likely related to you.
What if you had a window into the history of your family? With historical records, you do. From home life to career, records help bring your relatives' experiences into focus. There were 2,506 people named Dionne in the 1930 U.S. Census. In 1940, there were 13% more people named Dionne in the United States. What was life like for them?
In 1940, 2,822 people named Dionne were living in the United States. In a snapshot:
As Dionne families continued to grow, they left more tracks on the map:


text: I recently purchased a couple of N64 units off eBay, and I was eager to see what modifications could be done to them. Sadly, there's no real compiled list of the different ones, only a few decent ones scattered around. This list will contain what I have found around the net, but if anyone knows of more to add, please do say! Nintendo 64 Console Modifications: Internal Modifications: Adding an RGB output to NTSC N64s (Alternate) Creating an RGB Booster if the RGB mod is weak or darkened. Allowing Japanese games to fit into a US Console Total Redesigns: The "L64" Many more portable style modifications... There are a bunch of other portable mods, if any others are requested I'd be glad to put them on. Hopefully this can develop into a decent resource for N64 Modification
