You probably know Jason Segel as a very successful comic actor, but did you know he's also the co-author of a humorous thriller series for kids in grades 4-6? Now's a great time to give the Nightmares! series a try, because the first book in the series is currently (as of 11/2/15) priced at just $1.99.
Nightmares! (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $1.99)
The hilariously frightening, middle-grade novel Nightmares! is a Texas Bluebonnet nominee and the first book in a trilogy about a boy named Charlie and a group of kids who must face their fears to save their town.
Sleeping has never been so scary. And now waking up is even worse!
Charlie Laird has several problems.
1. His dad married a woman he is sure moonlights as a witch.
2. He had to move into her purple mansion, which is NOT a place you want to find yourself after dark.
3.He can't remember the last time sleeping wasn't a nightmarish prospect. Like even a nap.
What Charlie doesn't know is that his problems are about to get a whole lot more real. Nightmares can ruin a good night's sleep, but when they start slipping out of your dreams and into the waking world—that's a line that should never be crossed.
And when your worst nightmares start to come true . . . well, that's something only Charlie can face. And he's going to need all the help he can get, or it might just be lights-out for Charlie Laird. For good.
Nightmares! The Sleepwalker Tonic (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $10.99)
Nightmares! The Sleepwalker Tonic is the sequel to the hilariously scary New York Times bestselling novel Nightmares! by multitalented actor Jason Segel and bestselling author Kirsten Miller. You thought the nightmares were over? You better keep the lights on!
Charlie Laird has a dream life.
1) He has a weirdo stepmom who runs an herbarium.
2) He lives in a purple mansion with a portal to the Netherworld.
3) Since they escaped from the Netherworld, he and his best friends have been sleeping like babies.
But Charlie can't shake the feeling that something strange is afoot. Charlotte's herbarium used to be one of the busiest stores in Cypress Creek. Now her loyal following is heading to Orville Falls for their herbal potions.
Weirder, though, Orville Falls is suddenly filled with . . . zombies? At least, they sure look like the walking dead. Rumor has it that no one's sleeping in Orville Falls. And Charlie knows what that means.
Things are getting freaky again.

Bradley RutledgeMS PE
Biomechanical Engineer
Bradley Rutledge is a member of MEA's Injury Biomechanics group in Los Angeles. He conducts biomechanical analyses to assess body motion and injury mechanics in motor vehicle collisions, slips, trips and falls, and other injury producing events. Brad uses engineering principles and data from scientific literature to analyze medical evidence and to evaluate questions about liability and injury causation. He can also look at whether changing a feature of an event, such as adding a seatbelt or a walkway defect, would have affected the risk of injury or not.
Brad holds Bachelor and Master degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan State University. During his time at MSU, Brad conducted research on neck movement in people with and without neck pain, studied human walking mechanics, evaluated biomechanical devices, and helped to develop and teach engineering courses. He is registered as a Professional Engineer in California and has testified in court as an expert witness.
Brad is leading MEA's ongoing research in using friction measuring machines, called tribometers, to evaluate the safety of walkway surfaces for slip and fall analysis. "We are focused on how we, as experts, can quantify the friction of a walkway surface and correlate that to a slip and fall," he explains. Brad is an active member of the ASTM International F13 Committee on Pedestrian/Walkway Safety and Footwear, and is the current Vice Chair of the Research Subcommittee. He has conducted several slip and fall studies including human volunteer slip tests and tribometer evaluations.

- In a two-year Phase III trial, the oral MS therapy BG-12 significantly reduced – by up to 51%-the average number of annual MS relapses. More than 1,400 people with relapsing-remitting MS participated in the study. BG-12 is thought to inhibit the immunce cells and molecules that are involved in MS attacks on the brain and spinal cord. This study should help to define further the safety and promise of BG-12 as a potential therapy for relapsing MS.
- The experimental intravenous MS therapy alemtuzumab significantly reduced relapse rates and the worsening of disability in a two-year Phase III study that compared alemtuzumab to Rebif. The study, called CARE-MS II, involved 840 people with relapsing-remitting MS. The FDA has fast-tracked alerntuzumab, which should speed up future review.
- A study of 324 patients comparing the MS oral therapy teriflunomide with Rebif found no significant difference in the numbers of participants in each group who experienced events defined as treatment failure. Teriflunomide is thought to prevent damage to the nervous system by immune cells. A previous phase III trial was more successful and three others are ongoing. The FDA is reviewing an application for marketing approval of teriflunomide.

The principle of the Galvanic induction treatment is extremely simple yet effective, the micro electricity emitted by the Galvanic roller will expedite the absorption of nutrition molecules applied to the surface of our skin and accelerate the speed of which they penetrate and combine with our skin cells. Typically, when we apply lotions, only the upper derma of our skin is fed. Any remaining excess will dry up and go to waste. The Galvanic roller will ensure that the nutrition inside the lotion will reach the lower derma of our skin and provide the imperative fruitful source for cell regeneration and growth. Therefore, this galvanic machine helps creams and solutions penetrate deep into the skin with the electrical current it provides. The unique super ion releasing technology makes nutrition of the cosmetics penetrate under stratum cells through barrier layer .The cells can fully absorb nutrition with the positive ions, negative ions and infrared interplaying separately. It can accelerate blood circulation, speed up metabolism to recover the activity of the cells, and reduce and prevent the wrinkles .The skin will restore its flexibility, luster and activity.
What's more?
Positive ions thoroughly cleanse the pores.
Blockage of pores is the main cause of dilatation and roughage of the pores and darkening of skin and prevents assimilation of nutrients into dermal cells. Cleansing is the first and the most important step in skin care. Most cleansing products can only remove dust on skin surface and are powerless to clean the dirt and grease deep down in the pores. The highly energized positive ions emitted from the product can soften the dirt deep down in the pores and make the pores free of blockage.
Negative ions cause deep down infusion of nutrients
Assimilation function of fatigued skin and aging cells is remarkably reduced, causing the essential components of skin care products pile up on skin surface and unable actually nourish the dermis cells. Skin is devoid of luster when the cells are undernourished. The negative ions can induce nutrients to penetrate deep into the skin, and facilitate the cells, assimilation of water and nutrients, causing the whitening factors and nutrients to enter the skin, and retain the nutrients, making the skin lustrous, lighter in colour and invigorated.

Customer Reviews
I purchased this after loving a galvanic facial—which cost twice as much as this btw! I use this 3x per week for 10 minutes and I love it.
I bought this months ago and never used it because I thought it was another one of my impulsive buys that wouldn't work. Well, today I had some free time and I found this burried under a pile of my beauty supplies. I decided to use it for once and I must say I'm in shock that it worked after one try. I've tried EVERYTHING and was considering plastic surgery even though I'm only in my 30's. I partied like a rockstar in my younger years and I'm suffering the consequences now. Now I have bags under my eyes and it's depressing looking at myself in the mirror. Anyways, I'm adding a photo and you be the judge. The photo shows my right eye after a session. The left eye had been untouched. Remember, these photos are after only ONE session!! I thought I'd share this because I'm sure there are many others out there that feel my pain. I hope it works for you like it worked for me!I'll update later and let you guys know how long this lasts.Note: Don't put the gel on the device and then put the device on your face, you will get a nice shock. I learned the hard way! Ha!
Omg!!! Best thing I've ever purchased! The pic is after only one week on one side. I wanted to see if it really works. Proof is in the pic! Amazing!!!
Good product and tight your skin.For sure is working.Thank you seller for such a good price.

What is it?
Morton`s neuroma is the irritation and compression of a common plantar digital nerve in your foot, often causing numbness and tingling in the toes. With a true neuroma, this compression is a result of thickening of the tissue around the nerve itself. Morton's neuroma (named for the first doctor to describe the condition), most commonly affects the common plantar digital nerve between the third and fourth metatarsal bones, which causes pain in the third and fourth toes.
What do people experience?
Symptoms can include:
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Shooting pain
- Burning pain
- Radiating pain to adjacent toes
- Feeling as though sock is bunched up or wrinkled
- Increased pain with activity
- Relief upon removal of footwear
Risk factors
Risk factors for discomfort include:
- High heels
- Tight or illfitting footwear
- High impact activity
- Other foot complications (bunions, hammertoes)
What can you do to feel better today?
- Ensure that footwear has adequate width and extra depth in the toe box. This will allow the foot enough room to splay and help minimize mechanical compression of the common digital nerve from the shoe.
- Try Metatarsal pads. These work to offload the neuroma by supporting your distal transverse arch. Metatarsal pads can be incorporated into a shoe on its own or on a custom made orthotic.
- Decrease high impact activities. High impact activity can increase pressure on the feet and worsen symptoms. Reducing this type of activity and ensuring the use of proper footwear can aid in prevention of symptoms.
- Maintain a healthy weight, which can reduce physical stress and pressure on the foot. Consult your family physician or a dietician for more information and directives.
What are my options for treatment? Who can help?
A stepped approach is often taken for the treatment and management of Morton`s neuroma, moving from least invasive to most invasive. Less invasive treatments include metatarsal pads, footwear modifications, and offtheshelf (OTS) and custom foot orthotics. These options can be discussed with your pedorthist and other healthcare professionals for conservative treatment of symptoms.
More invasive options, such as medication, corticosteroid and sclerosing alcohol injections, and surgery, may be discussed with your family physician to determine an appropriate treatment plan.
Although the exact cause of Morton's neuroma is unknown, possible causes include irritation, pressure, or injury to the common digital nerve. Proper Footwear is a crucial factor in prevention of pain.
Staying active with pain
Staying active with Morton's neuroma is possible. Choosing appropriate type and fit of footwear for the given activity is crucial. Footwear should provide adequate width and depth to reduce mechanical pressure on the foot. High impact activity can increase the amount of stress placed on the foot, increasing irritation and worsened symptoms. Choosing lower impact activities can reduce stresses.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft captures stunning new images of dwarf planet Ceres
NASA's mission director said: "This image captures the wonder of soaring above this fascinating, unique world that Dawn is the first to explore"
THESE are the stunning new images of dwarf planet Ceres, captured by NASA's spacecraft Dawn.
In one of the pictures, a burst of light can be seen coming from Ceres' Occator Crater which is 57 miles wide, and 2.5 miles deep.
This picture was taken in October as the Dawn probe was just 920 miles above the dwarf planet's surface, and NASA has only just decided to reveal it.
Experts believe the bright spots which have been pictured on Ceres are from salty liquid which bubbles to the surface during geologic activity, or an asteroid crashing into its surface.
Marc Rayman, Dawn's chief engineer and mission director, based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said: "This image captures the wonder of soaring above this fascinating, unique world that Dawn is the first to explore."

Kevin Judd, long-time head winemaker at Cloudy Bay, creates the wines under this Greywacke label. Greywacke (pronounced "Gray-wacky") is a type of soil found throughout New Zealand made up of gray sandstone, clay and coarse grained particles providing good drainage. Much of the fruit Judd sources throughout Marlborough grows on such soil.
Tasting Notes
All fruit was grown in Marlborough's Southern Valleys and principally sourced from the Yarrum Vineyard situated on the Brancott / Ben Morven ridge. Typical of this sub-region, the wind-blown loess soils are comprised of clay-loams with differing degrees of gravel content. The various source blocks are cultivated to a mixture of pinot noir clones. The grapes were hand-harvested and chilled overnight prior to hand sorting. Most of the fruit was then de-stemmed into open-top fermenters, the majority of which also had a percentage of whole-bunch inclusion. The fruit was left to soak on skins prior to the onset of indigenous yeast fermentation, then plunged daily. After fermentation the wine was pressed, racked and filled to French oak barriques (40% new). Individual clones were separately aged in barrel for 18 months, prior to blending in December. Once in tank the wine was lightly egg white fined prior to bottling in March.
A virtual compote loaded with black plums, boysenberries and redcurrants lightly infused with cinnamon and cloves. An intensely perfumed Marlborough Pinot with fruit sweetness, floral highlights and a distinct smoky and slight gamey fragrance. The full-flavoured palate has dark fruit richness with great length as well as freshness.

community college. what do you think of when you hear that?
it had a bad reputation where i was from. it was for the kids who weren't good enough. the kids who goofed off in high school but whose parents were dragging their asses to school.
you never thought of the student who needed to stay home and raise his younger brother and sister after his dad took off and his mom got sick. or for the student who was a single mother looking to get some sort of degree while not uprooting her daughter. or for the student whose mother was sick so she came home to stay with her. to be with her just in case. you've never considered that someone might be juggling a full-time job, two jobs on the side and is still somehow getting an education at night.
i've met those students you know. i've seen the kids who are still "in high school" but there are far fewer of them then us.
when you think community college you don't congratulate the girl with a 4.0 or the boy who is offered a full ride to transfer to yale. you don't even consider asking the person with the associates degree why they went there first. why they may have needed the sure thing in 2 years rather than risking the drugs and alcohol that comes with the 4.
because it's not the same at a big time university. oh yes, you're right, it's not. been there, done that. i've seen the 'A' high school student that loses everything because he drinks too much every night of the week. i've seen the scholarship student that has too much sex and finds herself pregnant. or the kids that come home during their breaks and sleep all day and leave the house that they're now visiting a disaster because they think they deserve a break from all that "hard work and partying". those kids that spend their summers much like their school years, drinking and mooching off their parents' gains.
you're so right, it's much harder to get an 'A' with all that booze around compared to those 3 jobs and that house that needs to be cared for. what on earth was i ever thinking?!
to the few that are above it all, that work hard and turn down the crazy nights drinking so that they're sober for their 8AM class, i respect you. i respect you and i know that you're out there. i wish you so much luck. stay above it all.

Though we had originally hoped that Joe would be able to get away with a few splints over the next several weeks, that's sadly not that case. Dr. John at Tri County was nice enough to see Joe again and took x-rays to see how he was doing after being in our rescue and a new splint for 10 days. What he found was this... Ouch!!!!!!! No point in giving him a fresh splint, Dr. John said. What Joe really needs is surgery.
Thanks to Elwood's recent fundraiser for us, we knew just where to head: Winslow Animal Hospital and the super kind Dr. Coudrai! Dr. Coudrai explained the break is just above his "wrist" and with little dogs like this, he needs a surgery that will go in and place a plate in his leg to realign Joe's poor little leg and help relieve some of the pressure to the bone while it heals itself.
The cost of the surgery is roughly $2,000 at a discounted price (because Joe's such a nice little dog, of course). Unlike situations like with Nennee (where we had months to fund raise), poor Joe needs this surgery A.S.A.P. He needs the surgery though, so Joa's Arc is going to figure out a way to come through for him.

Plans to attract homemakers to teaching under consideration
Principals warn that students are being left without qualified teachers in key subjects
The president of the NAPD has called for a national school admissions policy which is 'fair, transparent, and realistic'. File photograph: Dave Thompson/PA Wire
Plans to attract homemakers to the teaching profession are being examined as part of a number of steps to tackle a staffing "crisis" in key subject areas.
The annual conference of the National Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD) heard on Friday that urgent action was needed to tackle a shortage of teachers in subjects such as science, maths and languages.
Speaking to reporters, Minister for Education Richard Bruton said the idea of courses to upskill homemakers were among a number of steps under consideration.
He said the Springboard model - which involves providing free third-level courses for individuals who are out of work or categorised as economically inactive -has proved successful in tackling skills shortages elsewhere in the economy.
A spokesman for Mr Bruton said, for example, existing teacher education courses could be provided free for individuals with qualifications in subject areas where there are shorages of teachers, such as physics or Irish.
Mr Bruton said his department will meet with the Higher Education Authority to discuss this and the broader issue of "subject mismatches" between graduates and the demand for posts in schools.
A report on the issue of teacher supply published earlier this year found that while we are producing enough teachers to meet demand, there are shortages in key areas such as science and languages.
These shortages are being made more acute by the volume of young teachers heading abroad to avail of lucrative posts in areas such as the Middle East, according to teachers and principals.
The NAPD's president Cathnia Ó Muircheartaigh said the shortage of qualified teachers will worsen unless swift action is taken.
"This is creating a staffing shortage in the educational sector, despite the hundreds of students who graduate as teachers each year," Mr Ó Muircheartaigh said.
"This puts a huge strain on school leadership and threatens the viability of student activities and professional development opportunities for existing staff."
Earlier this year Mr Bruton announced a number of other measures to increase the pool of available teachers.
They included a greater emphasis on using retired teachers and relaxing the limits on temporary employment for teachers on career breaks at second level.
Mr Bruton is also examining the potential of allowing school to employ trainee teachers.
Separately, Mr Ó Muircheartaigh also called for a national school admissions policy which is "fair, transparent, and realistic".
"The practice whereby parents apply for multiple places in different schools is making planning of school placement unworkable," he said.
"Our association recognises that this is happening as a response to uncertainties around admissions. However, it is exacerbating the admissions problem and must end."
The NAPD president also called for "timely access" to counselling for both staff and students.
"Ensuring the mental health and wellbeing of students creates a context in which learning and educational attainment can flourish, rather than becoming a severe source of stress and pressure for students and their families," Mr Ó Muircheartaigh said.
"Staff also need to be supported in what is often a demanding job, the challenges of which are constantly growing."
While the recovery has brought opportunities, he said principals have also seen new challenges develop.
"We are hugely concerned about the mental health and wellbeing of our students – and indeed our teaching colleagues and principals," he said.
"We must foster positive, constructive environments in our schools, where mental health is prioritised and protected.
"Access to counselling services directly within our schools, such as are the norm in many other education systems globally, must now be prioritised," he said.

Can I substitute the cashews with other types of nuts?
I have found that cashews work best but you can certainly try other nuts and let me know how it turns out for you.

- I would never let another kid who hates mine hang out with us. In big groups, there's always one or two moms I can't stand. I always enjoy a good passive-aggressive conversation.

Republicans anxious about keeping control of the US Congress think it is a bad idea, but US President Donald Trump continues to say that he is willing to close the government over border security issues, including funds that he needs to build a promised US-Mexico border wall.
"I would be willing to 'shut down' government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall," Trump tweeted on Sunday.
"Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT," he wrote. "We need great people coming into our Country."
Trump returned to the idea after a meeting at the White House last week with US House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan and US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, during which they were said to have agreed on the way forward on government funding for the budget year that starts on Oct. 1.
McConnell told a radio interviewer last week that a shutdown so close to the Nov. 6 midterm elections would not happen.
However, he added that the border funding issue was unlikely to be resolved before the balloting.
Ryan said on Capitol Hill after the meeting: "The president's willing to be patient to make sure that we get what we need so that we can get that done."
Funding for the wall is "not a question of if, it's a question of when," he said.
The White House did not immediately respond to request for comment on what might have changed since the meeting.
Trump has pledged to campaign aggressively, starting after the US's Labor Day holiday on Sept. 3, to help Republicans retain control of the House and Senate, but Republican lawmakers do not appear to be rallying to his side on this not-so-new idea.
US Senator Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, on Sunday told CBS' Face the Nation show that it would be unhelpful to shut down the government just before elections "so let's try and avoid it."
Trump campaigned on the promise of building a wall to deter illegal immigration and making Mexico pay for it. Mexico has rejected the proposal.
Trump has gotten some funding from Congress and likely will get more, but the total is short of the US$25 billion that he has requested.
He also wants changes to legal immigration, including scrapping the green card lottery program.
In addition, Trump wants to end the practice of releasing immigrants caught entering the country illegally on the condition that they show up for court hearings, along with shifting the US immigration system to one based more on individual merit and less on family ties.
Democrats and some Republicans have objected to those proposals.
Both chambers will have a short window to act before government funding expires at midnight on Sept. 30.
The House is in recess and is not to return until after Sept. 3. The Senate is to stay in session for most of next month, except for a week-long break scheduled to begin on Monday.
McConnell has canceled most of his chamber's recess to give senators time to work on the annual spending bills.
Trump would be taking a political risk if he allows most government functions to lapse on Oct. 1, about one month before the elections, when Republican control of both the House and Senate is at stake.
Democrats have long opposed financing Trump's wall, but do not have enough votes by themselves to block House approval of that amount.

From Tuscany not only first-class wines such as Chianti Classico or Brunello are produced, but also top quality olive oil: the olive oil Extra Vergine with protected designation of origin. In fact, olive oil production has a millennia-old tradition in this central Italian region, which is so popular the world for its unique landscape and cultural treasures.
If you've traveled, the big old olive trees, standing alone or in small groups standing majestically out of the landscape, and the wide, gently rolling olive groves will not have escaped you. Below you will learn more about the particular characteristics of Tuscan olive oil and where and how it originates. Discover our top class olive oils!
Olive varieties and main characteristics of Tuscan olive oil
Tuscan olive oil is produced mainly from the local olive varieties Moraiolo and Frantoio. It is characterized by its fruity-fresh fragrance and its golden yellow color, which often has emerald-green nuances. In the taste it presents itself spicy-fruity with aromas of freshly cut grass, artichokes and of course green olives. This is accompanied by a tart, slightly bitter almonds note, especially with freshly pressed cold oil: It is currently appreciated by the olive growers themselves, who in the time during and after the harvest would like to simply dip a piece of fresh white bread into the new oil or drizzle a slice of toasted bread with it - and test the quality of the new vintage! There is no better way to enjoy fine olive oil - give it a try!

How to enjoy this extra virgin olive oil? A few tips
We have already told you the best and at the same time simplest way to enjoy the unique taste of olive oil from Tuscany just drop a few drops on fresh or lightly roasted white bread. Now spread a little spicy tomato and some rucola or basil leaves on it and you're done with the Bruschetta - a perfect starter, for which there are of course many more recipes. Of course, Extra Virgin Olive Oil is also great for salads - as part of light and tasty as well as healthy dressings.
Olive oil has a firm place as condimento in the Tuscan kitchen: Some hearty soups like the famous Ribollita, a typical one Tuscan vegetable soup, or for grilled or stewed meat: such as the traditional 'Stracotto del Chianti', a roast beef in Chianti wine sauce. In all these cases, drip a few drops of olive oil just before serving on the finished dish to give it the icing on the cake of fresh spice. Give it a try!
Olive Oil Production in Tuscany: A Brief Overview
How much olive oil is actually produced in Tuscany, and when and how are the olives harvested? - Here are a few facts and figures: The fact that Tuscan olive oil is well known and widespread in this country, deceives that the share of Tuscany in the total Italian olive oil production is rather small: It is due to the occasionally very cold winter at only 4-5%, much lower than the southern regions of the country. For example, Puglia alone accounts for more than half of Italy's total production (51%)!
During the 2014/15 season, 222,000 tonnes of olive oil were produced throughout Italy, of which just over 6,000 tonnes were produced in Tuscany. This very poor harvest, which was caused by unfavorable weather conditions and massive damage by the olive fruit fly, was followed by a good harvest year. In 2015/16, production rose to 474,620 tonnes throughout Italy and 19,202 tonnes in Tuscany - an increase of 113.8%.
The Olive Harvest is always from mid-October to mid-December, with the main harvest time falling to November. For small and medium-sized growers, who pay attention to high quality and genuine taste, the harvest is always done by hand: The olives are picked either directly from the tree or combed or combed Rakes are detached from the branches and collected in networks previously spread on the ground. Another traditional method is the brucatura: it is beaten with long sticks on the branches of the olive trees. Mechanical harvesters are therefore taboo in quality-conscious Tuscan olive oil producers!
About our BIO Tuscan olive oil
Tuscan olive oil producers: some top producers
A top producer from the south of Tuscany is Bardi Carraia : the company name is made up of the surname of the owner, Franco Bardi, and that of his oil mill. The olives come from centuries-old olive trees that grow on the hills around Siena.
A little further north, halfway between Florence and Siena, are the olive groves of the Alfani family, who sell their multi-award winning oils under the label I Greppi di Silli - including the Extra Vergine Monocultivar Leccio del Corno, which is obtained exclusively from the very rare olive variety of the same name.

Also in the province of Florence, more precisely on the Montalbano, is the estate Tenuta Cantagallo. It is run by the family Pierazzuoli , which also operates on La Farnete near Carmignano Produces olive oil.
Further west, on a picturesque hill near Montenero d'Orcio in the Maremma, is the Frantoio Franci Oil Mill

Tuscan olive oils with IGP and DOP seal
Similar to wines and other foods such as the Parma ham, there are also EU protected designations of origin for extra virgin olive oil, with which producers vouch for the quality and origin of their products:
On the one hand the "Denominazione di Origine Protetta" (PDO): protected designation of origin, recognizable by the red-yellow D.O.P.-seal. It means that all stages of production, from cultivation to processing, to manufacture and packaging in a particular geographical area, are carried out according to a recognized, agreed procedure.
DOP olive oil Tuscany BARDI CARRAIA
Second, the "Protected Geographical Indication", which in Italian is Indicazione Geografica Protetta. With this it is sufficient if only one of the three steps takes place in a certain region of origin. It is recognizable by the blue and yellow IGP seal.
In Tuscany there are six denominations of origin for olive oil. In addition to the full phrase Toscano IGP awarded for Extra Vergine from the whole region, these are five narrower statements of origin:
- Toscano IGP Colline di Arezzo for the area around Arezzo in the very east of the region,
- Toscano IGP Colline di Firenze for the area around Florence in the northeast,
- Toscano IGP Colline della Lunigiana for the Massa and Carrara area in the northwest,
- Toscano IGP Montalbano for the province of Pistoia in the north, and finally
- Toscano IGP Monti Pisani for the area east of the city of Pisa.
The olive oils from the named regions of origin differ in terms of color, smell and taste, in particular the degree of fruitiness and the spiciness or seasoning.

Another part of the product are the essential oils. As the name might imply – they are the ones that give the oil its sense and essence and they are the ones that you will smell as soon as you open the bottle and what other people will smell when they stand next to you to admire your glorious mane.
The verdict: Showering and shaving can become an ordinary aggravation unless you're clutching onto the ER-GB40-S. A specialised water drainage system makes facial maintenance simpler, letting the trimmer be fully submersible in water. The blade system comes precision-honed to an acute 45-degree angle that simplifies the trimming routine with easier navigation and beard care. Grip control remains an underrated feature for all grooming tools. And the rubberised grip on Panasonic's trimmer is ergonomically fit for the hand, with a balanced weight and maximum control to move across your facial hair. Motor strength is ranked lower than the competition, yet it generates enough power to evenly shape-up or stubble down the beard. You'll discover 19 different length settings programmed to handle short and long fluff. The classic nickel-metal hybrid battery lives for only about 50 minutes on a 15-hour charge, but given the available settings, it shouldn't make for any problems.
The highest ranking Ancient Egyptians grew hair on their chins which was often dyed or hennaed (reddish brown) and sometimes plaited with interwoven gold thread. A metal false beard, or postiche, which was a sign of sovereignty, was worn by kings and (occasionally) ruling queens. This was held in place by a ribbon tied over the head and attached to a gold chin strap, a fashion existing from about 3000 to 1580 BC.
Finally, the beards are back! It doesn't matter if you are a hipster, a programmer, a lumberjack dude or an actual lumberjack, the time has come for the beards to come back and stick to more faces than ever. We haven't seen this many beards since the 60's and there is now an entire science to help you groom the best beard you can grow now!
Beard oils containing unrefined jojoba and pure argan oil promote beard growth by naturally moisturizing the skin underneath your beard. This removes unwanted dead skin cells and other impediments to fast facial hair growth. The right beard oil will penetrate your facial hair pores enhancing your whisker's elasticity and stimulating speedy beard growth. In addition to these benefits, beard growing oils contain naturally occurring antioxidants and vitamin E that further strengthen your beard by repairing the damage done to the cellular membranes of your facial hair. The stronger and more resilient your beard is, the faster it will appear to grow.
Clean your beard before you trim it with a moisturizing shampoo. It's important to trim your beard when it's clean, to make sure the hairs are softened and untangled for an even trim. Wash your beard in the shower with warm water and soap.
One thing that I find important when I select a beard oil and it isn't mentioned in your post is the container an oil has and the dispenser. There are so many cases of beard oils that I've used and made a mess while I was trying to get it out of the bottle. This is very problematic since you waste oil and not to mention, you need to clean after yourself once you're done. As for the container, it's crucial to have a dark bottle, preferably in glass, so that heat, light and oxygen doesn't oxidise the oil while keeping its shelf life unaffected. My two cents.

I prefer using combs over brushes since it not as harsh. Plus you can comb your beard more often during the day. However, you can still over comb your beard, creating damage. Combing it should only happen when it gets out sorts through out the day.
There has been a study suggesting that coconut oil prevents hair damage while promoting hair growth. This could conclusively mean that you could use it frequently to help you with beard growth since the facial hair damage would be reduced.
What we do NOT recommend, is using tweezers to pluck wayward nose hairs. It not only stings, but it can also cause your nose to bleed. The hair that grows back has a high possibility of becoming ingrown and inflaming the inside of your nose. Just don't do it, man!
Start by rubbing it between your hands until the grains dissolve, then work it through your beard and onto your skin. Not all of it will come off of your hands, so it's encouraged to put the excess in your hair or on dry spots of your skin. Utility Balm isn't only for your beard – its deep conditioning effects apply to your hair and your skin as well (to read up on all the different ways you can use Utility Balm, check out this article).
If you're at the beginning of your beard journey, patches will fill in soon. If you've been growing a beard for a while now, and it's still patchy, the answer is here: https://beardoholic.com/how-to-deal-with-patchy-beard/
Beard Balm LLC is an employee owned company devoted to spreading awesome beards all around the world. In a small workshop tucked under a staircase in the heart of Detroit, we carefully blend and pour each can by hand. Our dedicated team of men and women care deeply about the environment, their community and of course, all the beards that their labors have been nourishing for the past 5 years.

There's a common misconception that you should only use beard oil on a beard that's already established. Those with barely there facial hair that are hoping to grow a beard shouldn't be waiting for their facial hair to grow in before using beard oil. The right beard oil also makes great a great moisturizer, so begin nourishing those potential beard hairs that are growing beneath the skin now so they can grow in strong, moisturized, and healthy. Apply daily and repeat throughout the day as needed depending on your climate, environment, and activity level to grow and maintain a strong, conditioned beard.
With a two-year limited warranty, you can trust that this model will last you awhile. It comes with three combs as attachments to give you plenty of versatility – not bad for this modestly priced model.
Another important thing to note is that you shouldn't judge your beard against the next guy. There is nothing wrong with a sparse beard; just because your best friend had a full thick beard at high school graduation doesn't mean you will or should have the same beard type. And while facial hair is a sign of male physical maturity, the important thing is that you have facial hair and can grow more.
Super informative article. One of many i'm guessing. Haven't had time to peruse any of the other articles on this site but no doubt that will be of the same high calibre. Any one who writes a great review about Honest Amish Beard Balm is a friend of mine – and of who i rankly highly in the beard grooming world. I was introduced to Honest Amish after coming across a similar review article over at Hot Shave Hustlers. It's a product that just keeps on giving and giving year in – year out. No doubt in my top 3 beard balms along with the infamous Wild Willies Beard Butter and Professor Edward Fuzzworthy's beard care balm gloss,(…what a mouthful!). Also highly impressed by other products coming out of the Honest Amish stable, namely the Premium Beard oil and the Beard and Body Soap (slick). Hands down a great article right here. Look forward to perusing the site and reading much more.. JM

Your beard trimmer is only as good as the company it keeps, and by that we mean accessories. Owning an assortment of add-ons won't just preserve the quality of your trimmer, but also prep your facial fur for a smoother trimming experience that won't clog or damage the blades. So consider adding these to your collection.
It is a myth that shaving a beard will make it grow thicker and faster. There is no scientific evidence to support the claim. Just wait and see how your beard growth progresses naturally. Also, keep in mind that beard growth patterns are largely genetic — if the men in your family can grow thicker beards, then you will likely be able to as well. If not, then you may be out of luck.
This blog shares advice about beards from authors who have a keen interest in beards, but who are not doctors, or medical professionals of any kind. Before taking any vitamins, beard growth serums like Lipogaine, or any other medicines (whether topical or internal), please consult your doctor. He or she will understand your personal needs better than anyone on the Internet. Please read our privacy policy and terms of use.
All of that aside, it's important to note that most men will experience patchiness at some point in the growth cycle—even those who ultimately wind up with full, thick beards. A lot of this simply has to do with your hair growth cycle in general. You could theoretically have a lot of beard hair in the shedding stage at the precise time you're growing it out, giving the appearance of a patchy beard when it's really just temporary shedding.
The Philips Norelco 4500 that was earlier known by the model name Power Touch w/Aquatec AT830/46 is loaded with features that are guaranteed to win your heart when it comes to getting a smooth and a comfortable shave. It gives the user the convenience of both the wet and dry shave and has dual precision shaving heads to get rid of the most stubborn stubble or the longest hair in the beard. A perfect idea for gifting, the electric beard trimmer has multiple features.
There are many factors you should take into account in regard to trimming your beard evenly. Trimming a shorter beard is always going to be more even compared to trimming a longer beard. It's also harder to get the same 'even-ness' rating compared to trimming a longer beard.
This one cuts back on the frizz to offer a more defined shape – with subtle notes inspired by the Caribbean. It's also designed to protect and moisturise your beard for a smoother, softer feel. So if your hair is rough and rugged, this blend will tone it down. Less hipster, more hip.
New beard hairs can feel like "a cactus poking your skin" says Olvera, but the prickly sensation subsides after a week, so stay tough. "It helps to brush the hair so everything grows in the same direction." Try one of these ten grooming products—especially the beard softener and beard oil.
Not necessarily. You can get to the optimal wavelengths with powerful laser flashlight too, just make sure that it's in range of 630-850nw, and you should be able to mimic the results seen in studies by pointing the light to your beard area for 20-30 minutes per day.

As she helped coordinate the 2019 Womxn's March in Denver, Regan Byrd noticed a trend among previous attendees.
"Some folks were disenchanted from the first march to the second march, saying it didn't feel like we built up on the momentum," Byrd said.
She added that participation dropped from 2017 to 2018. Womxn's March Denver estimates that more than 180,000 attended the first march, while attendees at the second marched numbered in the tens of thousands.
This year, however, the trend was reversed when a crowd of protesters gathered at Civic Center Park on Jan. 19. The protesters were dressed for the 30-degree weather and armed with the essentials: signs, Starbucks cups, and for a few, their dogs — some of whom had signs of their own.
Colorado women came to the march hoping to make their voices heard by politicians — whether they were fighting for reproductive rights, climate-change awareness or for the rights of the LGBTQ community and women of color.
This year's Womxn's March Denver drew an estimated 80,000 attendees, according to march leadership team member Angela Astle. The event also received sponsorships and major donations from nearly 20 organizations.
The name of the march — which previously had featured the word "women's" — was new this year. Members of the leadership team decided to incorporate an x into the name to promote inclusivity.
The Denver event got its start at the end of 2016. Colorado women Jessica Rogers, Cheetah McClellan and Karen Hinkel were inspired by the national march and came together to organize a local one.
Though none of the three women had experience organizing rallies, "toward the end of it, we figured it out," Rogers said.
"So many things got done by so many volunteers," she said. "The hardest part was probably volunteer management — and that was managed by a volunteer."
The widespread enthusiasm for the march manifested in other ways, as well; Rogers said the women received more than $100,000 in online contributions for the 2017 march. As this amount exceeded the cost of the march, surplus funds were donated to various nonprofits.
After two years of leading the charge in organizing the march, the three founders have taken a step back, with Rogers now serving as an adviser for the new leadership team.
"We really helped get it off the ground, and this leadership team has a lot more professional experience in community organizing and communication," she said. "That's really the direction we all wanted it to go in."
Broader focus
This is not the only way the march has changed since it began in 2017. The march, which was previously an LLC, restructured as a 501(c)(3) in 2018.
"There's the familiarity of `nonprofit' and also the space to say we really are working for what's coming next," Astle said.
Hoping to raise attendance and re-energize the movement, the team sought to build their organization around more than just the day of the march.
"We can have multiple days of action and a multiyear plan for what we want to accomplish," Byrd said. "We're open to whatever we and the community want this to be."
The leadership team incorporated a number of changes in response to community input, such as a detailed site map and increased accessibility for those with limited mobility.
The march in Denver was not the only one to see a name change. Seattle's march, for example, also added an x to its name.
In 2018, Colorado was the first state to allow gender nonconforming individuals to select an `x' as their gender identifier on driver's licenses and identification cards. Therefore, those organizing the march felt the x would be an appropriate symbol for inclusivity and intersectionality.
"We knew that the march had not been as inclusive as it could have been at the beginning," Byrd said.
To change this, the leadership not only changed the name of the march but made an effort to include more diverse speakers and performers in the pre-rally and post-rally.
"It's not just about one `ism,'" Byrd said. "It's about racism and sexism and classism. We need to understand how to dismantle all of those."
"Being included and recognized in this just makes me feel I'm a part of something much bigger," said Ty May Kranz, who gave a speech at the march. Kranz identifies as non-binary and Latinx — with the `x' standing in place of the `o' in Latino.
"I feel like there's somewhere for me now," Kranz said.
The focus on inclusivity reflects an aspiration among leadership to affect as much positive change in the community as possible and to identify what that goal entails.
"I think it's really about trying to figure out what the Womxn's Mach is best suited for. It's still trying to find its personality," Rogers said. She added that one of the ways the march has excelled has been in "achieving earnest community dialogue."
"We're moving towards how this march can represent everything it can," agreed leadership team member Brenda Herrera Moreno.
'Everyone's rights'
Certainly, those who came out to the march had this same broad focus on social and political issues. While the individuals all attended the march in the name of progress, the issues that inspired them to march varied from person to person.
"We wanted to raise awareness for missing and murdered indigenous women," said Denver resident Yolanda Begay.
Begay, who attended the march with family and friends, was also interested in bringing to light the way pollution hurts the climate and setting a positive example for her children.
Likewise, many marchers said they had come to march because of their daughters. Arvada resident Mindy Mohr, who has two daughters in their 20s, said one reason she marched was to make the country a better place for them.
"Our country has swung so far toward the irresponsible and hateful, we see it's time to move things back the other way," she said.
Others, like Littleton residents Chris and Kristen Sorrells, brought their children to the march.
"I'm here so they grow up realizing that if they want to affect change, they're able to," Sorrells said of his three daughters, Addie, Harper and Hannah.
"They have a voice and they should be heard," he said. "It's not just women who should be standing up for women's rights. It should be all of us, and for everyone's rights."

Rebuilding Smiles at Go Dental Surgery
Gosnells Crowns, Bridges and More
Having a damaged, cracked or decaying tooth impacts more than your ability to smile. It can make it difficult to have a balanced diet or even talk to other people. Gosnells families know that Go Dental Surgery has your best interest at heart, no matter what your smile has been through.
Full Coverage Crowns
When a tooth has had a very large filling or more than half of it is at risk of fracturing, a new filling simply won't do. A clenching or grinding habit could put the tooth at an even higher risk of fracture.
Repairing your tooth with a crown (cap) can protect it from future cracking or untimely loss. Crowns are similar to putting a helmet over the tooth so that it does not succumb to excessive pressure. They can also be placed on top of dental implants to replace a single missing tooth. Read more >>
Fixed Dental Bridges
A bridge can replace one or two missing teeth while allowing you to retain normal biting function and a beautiful smile. They can be bonded over natural teeth or implants adjacent to the open space.
Bridges are anchored permanently into place. They can serve a dual purpose by protecting the adjacent teeth if they have large fillings and are in need of crowns. However, it is important that you should be conscientious of cleaning under your bridge daily to avoid recurrent decay or disease. Read more >>
Denture Options
A cost-effective alternative to implants is a removable full or partial denture. With dentures, you can continue to chew properly and smile with confidence.
We offer a variety of denture designs, including a Valplast® hybrid that is ideal for maximum aesthetics (no metal is used). Acrylic is still the preferred material of choice for full dentures. Be sure to ask about our implant-secured option as well.
Inlays and Onlays
These alternative restorations are a good option when a large filling may not provide the essential reinforcement to your tooth. Inlays and onlays come in tooth-coloured options that preserve certain levels of tooth damage without the need of a full coverage crown.
Get a Customised Treatment Plan
Go Dental Surgery provides all patients with a selection of treatments to choose from, clearly outlining the costs involved and presents a care plan tailored to your unique needs.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Well, it's been a long time since that happened, probably close to 10 years. I didn't bounce nearly so well this time. But then again the horse was a lot taller. The new grey we bought last year, way over 16 hands, I really did know better than to try him but I don't know why this time I never listened to myself. Baaah! Just stupid I guess.
And the timing couldn't be much worse. We're taking in the cattle this week and the ER doctor was talking 2-3 Months before I would be back riding. We'll have to see about that. At least nothing's broke. I must have bones of steel.
I am a little worried about the discs between the bones in my back but according to my regular doctor there must be some obligatory time a person needs to be in pain before they will look at any soft tissue damage requiring the long waiting list MRIs. He told me they would think he was crazy to book me for something like that. ( I won't mention what I think of him, but trying to get a new doctor is all but impossible I'm on a waiting list and it must be a long one). All I really know is my back hurts bad and my legs aren't real happy about moving.
I think this time I'll see how tough I actually am. I need to quit griping and Cowgirl Up. I hate getting bucked off.
