Unsuccessful BS PCR - (Mar/08/2010 )
I have been trying to get my BS PCR work for sometime now but their seems to be some problem with the PCR. Here are the details of the experiment which i carry out:
1) Bisulfite conversion and subsequent clean up using Epitech Bisulfite kit (Qiagen). I am following exactly the same protocol as mentioned by Qiagen.
2) Quantitation of ssDNA using nanodrop. I generally get DNA concentration around 100ng/ul. ( i suppose i,m on right path till this step).
3) Next step is PCR:Amplicon size is about 900bp
Primers: 5' TATTATTTTGAGGAAGAGGGTTTT 3' (Forward) Tm: 49.9C
5' CAAAAAATAAAACTAAAATCATACA 3' (Reverse) Tm:55 C
PCR thermal profile:
94C for 5mins
35cycles for
60C/55C/50C/1min each
PCR master Mix:
300ng of bisulfite treated DNA.
200uM each dNTP.
10pmols of each primer,
Ordinary Taq pol.
MgCl2 titration with final concentration ranging from 1.5mM to 3mM
At times,I have also added BSA or DMSO to enhance PCR.
I have tried several thermal profiles, but result is always the same....NO AMPLIFICATION. The primers used are already published and the researcher has mentioned use of Invitrogen AccuPrime Taq Pol. Am i not getting the results because of the ordinary Taq pol which I am using?
At this point, I really can't understand where am I going wrong.
Any suggestion as to what changes should I make would be appreciated.
Hey Jasmine,
I have done a fair bit of bisulphite sequencing over the last year or so... In my experience 900 bp is rather a large amplicon, especially if you are only just starting out with the technique, generally protocols suggest a maximum of 500 bp although I have heard of people amplifying as long as 2 kb. For an amplicon of your size I would suggest you increase the number of cycles to 45 or even better carry out a second round of PCR using nester primers in order to increase the probability of seeing your product.
Finally, I would suggest that checking your DNA concentration on a spec after carrying out BS treatment is not very reliable. BS treatment is very harsh on genomic DNA and causes massive amounts of degradation therefore a lot of the DNA you detect by spec will be un-amplifiable anyway!
Hope that helps,
Just realised something else... DMSO should not really be necessary as it is normally used for GC rich templates which are entirely the opposite to what BS treatment produces! One more tip as well, consider putting a small amount of proof-reading polymerase in your reactions along with your standard taq, I find a mixture of Taq and Pfu in a ratio of 15:1 works nicely. Rumour has it extending at slightly lower temperatures (down to about 65) helps with amplification through AT rich templates as well.
I agree to jonny_boy: make your PCR shorter. 900 bp is quite a lot for a BS-PCR. Also try to design primer which have similar melting temps. A difference of more than 5 degC could have a negative influence on the PCR performance. Don't waste your DNA, 10 to 25 ng per PCR should be enough. Instead increase the number of cycles to 40 or 45.

Weed ecologist hired at UNL center
Stephen Young, the University of Nebraska Lincoln's new Extension weed ecologist at the West Central Research and Extension Center, will take the lead on conducting research aimed at managing invasive plant species in riparian and other non-crop areas of West Central Nebraska.
He will work on reducing weed competition in cropping systems with limited water.
Young brings research experience from several states to Nebraska. His most recent weed control work was on the ability of established plant communities to resist invasion by yellow starthistle in California. He studied reduction of escaped and late emerging weeds in Idaho sugar beet during the late 1990's and just finished a collaborative research project on the effects of corn, wheat and switchgrass, as biofuel crops, on below-ground soil processes in Washington.
He earned his doctoral degree from the University of California at Davis, his master of science degree from the University of Idaho at Moscow and his bachelor of science degree from Washington State University at Pullman.
Young said he and his wife had planned on living in the Midwest at some point and the research and extension position provided the opportunity. He believes his children will benefit from the more rural setting of Nebraska. Young has been interested in baseball for most of his life and someday hopes to attend the College Baseball World Series in Omaha.

You could always move here, Moogles. All but like two of the cops in my town are in their 20s and they let their high school friends get away with alcohol consumption all the time. Hell, one of the officers was almost expelled when she was a senior in high school for bringing vodka in a water bottle to class. We have some high-quality law enforcement in these parts. 'Murrica.
Does anyone know a good place (UK and preferably not online cos I prefer to try things on, especially with the garment in question) know a good place to buy good suits at a cheap(ish) price?
I need a second work suit; going navy cos it can transition between work and bars relatively easily, budget about 175 pounds.
Topman has served me well in the past, and their suits are very nicely cut for the slim, but I'd like to go full wool.

Damnit. I just got summoned for Jury Duty. How do I go about getting out of this. Apparently I could get jailed for 2 years for just not showing up...

... yeah. The world kinda sucks that way.
Moogles, your treatment by the police does sound like overkill on their part. Compared to the phenomenon of a group of 13-16 year-olds having a party supplied with alcohol, at least, which does merit serious intervention. On a related note, my best friend was once told by a police officer that they don't actually have monthly/quarterly/whatever quotas for tickets or arrests, just that if they in general show little results for their work, they get flak for not doing their jobs (an observation with which I'm sure of all us who work can commiserate).

I think if you really wanted out you could show that you have some sort of bias and they would exclude you because of your supposed role of being impartial.
It's a personal ethics call though.
Yeah, looking around it seems that pretending to racist would give the best results but I don't have it in to actually try.
You could always get lucky and be expelled from a pre-trial motion too.
Dunno about the States but in Canada you're allowed so many times just to expel jurors for basically no reason.
I got summoned a few months ago, went in, sat there and didn't even get called in to even talk with them. There were supposed to be two cases, but the second one got cancelled. So I got out before 11am and had a day off of work and am safe from getting summoned again for 3 years I believe.

etour | My OHIO Portal
ATHENS, Ohio (Aug. 16, 2006) -- Ohio University English instructor Kevin Haworth has won the seventh annual Samuel Goldberg & Sons Foundation Prize for Jewish Fiction by an Emerging Writer for his debut novel "The Discontinuity of Small Things" (Quality Words in Print).
The Goldberg Prize, which includes a $2,500 prize and a residency at Ledig House International Writers' Colony, is given annually to an American fiction writer of exceptional talent and promise for a first or second book. "Over the past seven years, the Samuel Goldberg & Sons Prize has honored seven very different writers, all of whom inhabit particular regions of the modern literary landscape," said writer Emily Stone, founding chair of the Goldberg Prize and an NFJC board member since 1998. "As writers like Kevin Haworth continue to cultivate the American Jewish voice, we look forward to the further evolution both of contemporary fiction and of American Jewish creativity."
Set in Copenhagen, Denmark, the novel charts the course of the 1943 German occupation as daily annoyances like propaganda pamphlets give way to the much darker vision of kidnappings, deportations and impending extermination. Haworth expertly traces these events through the lives of four very different characters, linking each to a faction of the Copenhagen resistance. In awarding this novel, the judges - writers Peter Orner, Joan Leegant and Tony Eprile - cited its complex, three-dimensional characters and the beauty of its language; and also the fresh and startling way in which its author depicted the oft-treated subject of the holocaust.
"The Goldberg Prize has honored many terrific writers," Haworth said. "I'm delighted to be in their company." He noted that "The Discontinuity of Small Things" was inspired by a photo exhibit depicting scenes from the Danish resistance during World War II, which he stumbled across when he was an MFA student.
"Most of the photos - taken 50 years after the fact - showed empty spaces: a stretch of beach where Jews had stood; the pavement outside a hospital where a man had fallen from a window. I became obsessed with filling in those spaces - empty holes into which great history had once been poured. At the time I had never been to Denmark and knew little about this small, marginalized holocaust story," Haworth said.
"When I began to research and write, first from books and photographs, then in Denmark itself, I found the kind of contradictions that any writer would recognize as the stuff of fiction: an occupation that involved almost no violence, and which the Germans described as a 'great understanding' between themselves and the Danish government; Jews who fled and then returned to their homes as if little had transpired; a war waged mostly by pamphlet," he said.
Born in 1971, Haworth grew up in the Catskills region of upstate New York and spent a significant amount of time studying and working in Israel after college. He earned an MFA in fiction writing from Arizona State University and has been awarded the David Dornstein Prize for Young Jewish Writers and the Permafrost Fiction Prize. He has taught English at Ohio University since 2002.
Previous Goldberg Prize winners include Nathan Englander ("For the Relief of Unbearable Urges"), Simone Zelitch ("Louisa"), Peter Orner ("The Esther Stories"), Gary Shteyngart ("The Russian Debutante's Handbook"), Lara Vapnyar ("There Are Jews in My House") and Nancy Reisman ("The First Desire").
This year's finalists were Nicole Krauss for "The History of Love," Edie Meidav for "Crawl Space," and Edward Schwartzchild for "Responsible Men."
The National Foundation for Jewish Culture invests in creative individuals and ideas in order to nurture a vibrant and enduring American Jewish identity, culture and community.

Sandy M's review of 10 Ways to Steal Your Lover (Love by Numbers, Book 1) by Dee Tenorio
Contemporary Erotic Romance short story published by Dee Tenorio 15 Dec 11
Well, I just have to read Dee Tenorio more often. That's all there is to it. She intrigues me with her characters and storylines, makes me laugh, her heroes make me sizzle and burn, and she packs so much into a shorter length book. But you know what's almost better than all that?
I like the fact she can put two characters together in a room or any other small, enclosed space for pages and even chapters and never once do those scenes get boring. She did that quite successfully in Shaken, which I really enjoyed. (If you haven't read that book, you should!) And she does it here just as successfully, starting the book off with our hero and heroine, Kane and Delilah, waking up together, naked, and with very hazy, nearly non-existent memories of the night before – Delilah's wedding night – to Craig. Not Kane. Oh, boy.
So between touches and kisses and lots of steaminess in their Las Vegas hotel room, they try to figure out how the hell they ended up together like this. Each remembers a different portion of the previous evening. First order of business is to start investigating to see what they can find out about the happenings of last night, along with figuring out where the bag of money in the hotel closet came from. Did they rob a casino? Not once are these scenes mundane in any way. Kane and Delilah go from bewilderment to hot and bothered to guilt and a few other emotions, all wrapped in a sensuousness in those very close quarters.
And thus begins their trek of talking to whoever they can to discover how their world woke up feeling so right in and among the guilt – not the feeling of settling for something less. They get a lot of discovering done before they have to face Delilah's parents – and Craig. Kane, Jesse, and Craig have been best friends for years, the unlikeliest of friends you'll find, but the friendship works and is quite special to each of them. You can imagine then how Kane must feel to face Craig, knowing what he's done to this man who's also like a brother. The same goes for Delilah, but she has the added stress of also facing her military father – the booming drill sergeant type man who expects to be obeyed, no matter what.
I have to tell you, the way the story unfolds, bit by bit, the haziness clearing away, the sacrifices and pure friendship that are revealed are just wonderful. Dee Tenorio always gives readers these little romantic jewels that never disappoint. Try one of her books and you'll know exactly what I mean.

After much searching, I'm closing in on the makeover plan for our living and dining rooms. As I mentioned in this earlier post, I just want to update the look and inject some fresh energy into the house. No major furniture purchases and no painting allowed.
So, here was my action plan:
– (Finally) buy a rug for the living room – we've been looking for one for almost three years, time for a decision, I think.
– Replace the ugly chandelier in our dining room that came with the house.
– Make a photo wall with the various family photos we have scattered around.
– Clear some of the surfaces and re-arrange some of the accessories.
– Introduce some plants.
I struggled to reconcile several different design aesthetics currently buzzing around my head. For example, I'm loving the apartment of sfgirlbybay blogger, Victoria Smith.
But I am also inspired by Remodelista blogger, Julie's, house in Mill Valley (although obviously don't have those stunning cathedral ceilings to work with!)
Finally, I found my inspiration in this picture, originally from Domino magazine, but found via Room Lust blogger, Javi's, Flickr photostream.
This look checks all the boxes for me: neutral colors, clean simple lines, organic shapes, with a bit of vintage.
I started with the rug. We're almost settled on this design from Schumacher. It's a very pale creamy-white looped wool carpet which we'll have made into an area rug (I know, with a toddler I must be crazy but bear with me…) and it has a light blue-gray pattern. Because of the pattern, stains are going to show up less.
Then a bought this long lusted-after white bird bowl from Jonathan Adler.
I also have the vase I posted about here.
Then, for the dining room, we went all out and chose this pendant from Room & Board. It's the Nelson Bubble Saucer Lamp. It's pretty big (36″ in diameter!) so there will be no escaping its presence! But I love the organic shape. It wasn't easy to get home though. I don't think the sales associate appreciated the ten minutes spent trying to cram it into the back of my Ford Focus. That was after he allowed me 20 minutes in Room & Board's stockroom hunting out different sizes so I could compare them. Being down there was like being in the world's best flea market – every shelf had something cool to gawp at.
I am still looking for the right mirror. It needs to be round, with a black frame and very simple. A front-runner is this one from Restoration Hardware, apparently made from a Polish train wheel (?!).
Another option is the Channing Mirror from Pottery Barn.
I love this one seen in Domino but don't know where it is from:
I'm not sure any of them are completely right. Any other suggestions?
I've also bought some frames ready to make our photo wall. We already have the photos so that will be a project for the next cloudy day…
Finally, the plants. We've chosen one: it's called a Rhapis Palm. Now just got to source it at a reasonable price and get it home.
So, some progress made. I'll post pictures once it's all in place. I can't wait to see it all come together.

Range estimation for localisation in wireless sensor networks is an ill posed problem due to multipath. The advancements in software defined radio have made possible the novel ranging technique outlined in this paper. By using frequency scanning, node localisation is achieved in wireless sensor networks (WSN). The technique examines the periodicities in the frequency scan and concludes that when a frequency scan is performed, the periodicity of the received signal strength is proportional to the distance. By comparing the periodic value to a linear periodic function, the distance between sensor node and anchor node can be estimated. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed ranging technique is capable of giving accurate localised range estimations.

My MythTV system sits on top of the television in the living room, which means that it's subject to much more rigorous noise standards than the other computers I own. While some fan noise is expected from desktop computers, the white noise is much more distracting when it comes from the home theater in the living room. My initial hardware selections had a couple of loud components that I needed to get under control once the system was stable.
To start, I assessed the sources of noise in the system. With the case open, I carefully stopped each fan to determine its contribution to the overall noise. The major offenders were the CPU heat sink fan, and the cooling fan on the north bridge.
Before getting started, I needed to set up temperature monitoring so that I could compare the performance of different heat sinks. The System Management Bus (SMBus) is used to link sensors built into the motherboard and other system components. SMBus is based on the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus invented by Philips in 1992. (For more information on I2C, see this Embedded Systems Design article.)
Most CPUs, and many motherboards, have temperature sensors that can be accessed over a system management bus. Once the Linux kernel is compiled with appropriate support, it can access these sensors during system runtime with the LM Sensors package.
The first step is to compile in support for I2C, as well as the sensor chips used on your components. Required support can be built as modules; the kernel configuration needs to include the following options:
CONFIG_I2C_ISA for a standard ISA bus attachment and
CONFIG_I2C_NFORCE to support the nForce chip on my motherboard.
CONFIG_I2C_SENSOR) is enabled when a specific hardware sensor is chosen. The Motherboard Monitor has details on the sensor chips used by different motherboards. My MSI motherboard uses a Winbond 83627THF chip, so I enabled the
CONFIG_SENSORS_W83627HF option as well.
Once the kernel is compiled correctly, the LM Sensors package can be compiled. The main configuration step is to run
sensors-detect after installation, which will determine which sensor chips are used and set up configuration.
The first step in running
sensors-detect is to run probes to find out what sensor chips are in use. At the end of the long list of probes, it will print out what it has found. In my Myth system, the two tuner cards show up as EEPROM devices on the PCI bus.
Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 4c00' Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 4c00' Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x51 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) Driver `w83627hf' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `Winbond W83627THF Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Following the probe list,
sensors-detect will show required commands to configure sensors on boot-up, including module configurations.
To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add the lines between the "cut here" to
#----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----end cut here---- WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until it's done. To load everything that is needed, execute the commands above... #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-nforce2 modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers # For status of 2.6 kernel ports see http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/supported.html # If driver is built-in to the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line. modprobe eeprom modprobe w83627hf # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----end cut here----
The last command,
/usr/bin/sensors -s, runs the command to configure the readout from the sensor chip to make it human-readable. To see the output, simply run the
sensors command. Before I started the project, I used the command to get a baseline temperature reading so that I could ensure that my noise reduction did not come at the expense of heat.

At the time the command was run, the CPU was idling. The line labeled
fan1 is connected to the north bridge fan sensor;
fan3 is a system fan output that I am not using. Under load, the CPU temperature rose to 55°.
The six fans in my MythTV system are the main source of noise:
Figure 1 shows the stock retail CPU heat sink and the north bridge fan before starting the project.
The largest source of noise is the CPU heat sink fan, so that's where to start with noise reduction. The best way to reduce noise is to slow the fan down. Large fans move more air than small fans, so I went searching for a larger heat sink that still fit the motherboard. The best place to find information on quiet components is Silent PC Review. I started with their recommended list of CPU coolers and looked for the most effective heat sink that would fit on the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard.
For an AMD64, there were four obvious choices to consider: the Zalman 7000 and 7700, and the Thermalright XP-90 and XP-120. Many manufacturers maintain compatibility lists of heat sinks with motherboards. The two heatsinks based on 120mm fans, the Zalman 7700 and Thermalright XP-120, are too large for the motherboard. In the end, my decision was made easy by the compatibility lists. Zalman's compatibility list stated that the 7000 is compatible with my motherboard, but the Thermalright compatibility list did not list a compatible unit.
The Zalman 7000 comes in two versions: an aluminum/copper hybrid, and a pure copper version. Aluminium is cheaper and lighter, but does not conduct heat as well. In a heat sink the size of the 7000, the extra weight can add up. AMD specifies a maximum heat sink weight of 450 grams, and the all-copper 7000 is a hefty 773 grams. While it might not present a problem in operation, it would be necessary to take care when moving the computer. Heat dissipation is not a problem, so the extra weight of the all-copper version is not necessary. I settled on the hybrid version.
As part of the same search, I looked for passive north bridge coolers. Zalman's NB-47J is a passive heat sink that attaches using the motherboard mounting holes. The mounting clips are fully adjustable, and easily fit a variety of motherboards, including mine.
Removing the old CPU heat sink was easy. Flip the clip holding it to the motherboard and pull it off. Looking at the old heat sink next to the new one, as in Figure 3, is a strong hint at the cooling power of the Zalman. With much more fin area, heat dissipation without the fan will be better, and the larger fan can move more air while rotating more slowly (and hence, quietly).
Replacing the north bridge was a complex operation because many north bridge coolers do not attach with screws. Plastic "spears" poke through holes in the motherboard to hold the north bridge heat sink in place; removing the old heat sink required completely dismantling the computer to get at the underside of the motherboard. Figure 4 shows the underside of the motherboard. In the photo, my two fingers are pointing at the north bridge retention holes. By squeezing the plastic spears, the north bridge fan came out easily.
Figure 4 also shows the CPU backplate, which is glued onto the motherboard. It's designed to accommodate many of the CPU coolers on the market, but there's a slight incompatibility with the Zalman. The backplate is glued on to the motherboard, and has two posts that stick through to attach heat sink retention brackets to. Zalman includes with the 7000 the brass standoffs shown in Figure 5 (left photo). With the added height from the backplate posts, however, the heat sink does not clamp tightly enough to the CPU for maximum cooling power.
I initially tried using the standoffs as-is. With the slight additional height, they did not allow the CPU cooler to press down hard enough. In this configuration, the idle temperature of the CPU was 42°, almost four degrees hotter than the stock cooler. At this point, I had to either remove the motherboard again to replace the CPU backplate, or find an alternative.
After searching through Zalman and MSI user forums, I decided that removing the backplate was not for the faint of heart. Removing the stock backplate requires heating the glue and gently prying it away from the motherboard, taking care not to damage any circuit traces on it. I opted for a simpler solution. The stock motherboard heat sink retention bracket comes with two long screws. I used the long screws from the motherboard to attach the CPU cooler, as shown in Figure 5 (right photo). With more pressure applied to the CPU, heat transfer improved enough to drop the idle temperature by eight degrees.
In Figure 5, the cylindrical post from the backplate can be seen rising through the motherboard. The clamp from the cooler must be horizontal to press the cooler tightly enough to the CPU to absorb heat. If the brass standoffs are used, it is not possible to get enough leverage to press the cooler on to the CPU.
Figure 6 shows the new CPU heat sink in place. Note the exposed north bridge and empty mounting holes at the right side of the picture. (There is a slight white smear from the small amount of thermal paste used with the stock north bridge cooler.) The CPU heat sink barely fits. On the left side of the photo, it is very close to the memory slots, and on the right side of the photo, it is very close to the video card slot. Although the fit is tight, Zalman's compatibility list was absolutely correct.
Installing the north bridge heat sink is straightforward. After positioning the clip arms to fit the mounting holes on the motherboard, apply some thermal paste and snap it in. Figure 7 shows the position of the north bridge heat sink. I suspect the reason why MSI chose to use a cooler with a fan is that it allows for the use of full-length PCI cards. The heat sink is quite tall, and will obstruct the use of full-length cards. However, the tuner cards are quite short. If it were necessary to use a longer card, I could easily shift one of the tuner cards right to free up an unobstructed slot.
Naturally, replacing the cooler is only worthwhile if the temperature can be kept steady (or better, reduced). Table 1 shows the results, unscientifically measured by recording the output from sensors when the system was idle and when it was under load. To create MythTV load, I waited for an hour-long program to finish recording and for the commercial flagging process to reach 80 percent completion, and measured the temperature again. Commercial flagging requires significant processing resources, and always runs the CPU at maximum (2GHz) speed for extended periods of time.

Table 1: CPU temperature
As an extra check of thermal stability, I used CPU Burn-in, which uses processor-intensive floating-point calculations to generate a much more demanding load than MythTV. (The better known CPUburn is written in assembly code, and is not available for the AMD K8 architecture.) After running CPU Burn-in for half an hour, the CPU temperature measured 52, which is still lower than the typical CPU temperature measured with the retail heat sink and fan.
As a final note, the system appears to run slightly cooler all around. The motherboard temperature sensor reads a degree lower (18° instead of 19°), and the third temperature sensor also reads slightly lower as well (28-29° rather than 31-33°).

It seems prudent that I give you a brief introduction of myself. I am an American patriot writer and most of my articles are in my blog at https://publius87.wordpress.com/. I hope what I write will help restore our republic and destroy the work of our enemies, but in the words of John Quincy Adams, "Duty is mine, results are God's."
I am not your typical conservative; in fact, I don't even like being called by that label. I am an American first; my political philosophy is closely aligned with the Laws of Nature and Nature's God and I tend to piss off conservatives and liberals alike. I abhor globalists and everything involving globalism. I vehemently reject statism in all its forms… i.e., socialism, fascism, and communism no matter what the current label may be for it.
In my world, there are no sacred cows, only the Creator. I don't worship the troops, any candidate for political office, or any public servants whatsoever; they are all tools in the hands of the state and I only respect those that honor their oath and perform their duty under the Constitution and consistent with Natural Law. I believe my freedom comes from the Creator and will only exist as long as I don't lose sight of that fact and acknowledge Him as the source, II Corinthians 3:17.
I am not perfect, far from it. Like all of you I fall short of that mark considerably. Anyone who says differently is a liar from my perspective and I believe that discussion or debate with such intellectual reprobates is a waste of my time.
Since July 16, 1973, I have informed myself about our history, government, and the efforts of globalism in its various and sundry forms to destroy our republic. Consequently, I don't align with their goals nor worship their god. My remaining mission in this life is to do all I can with the resources I have to destroy what they've done and facilitate the restoration of the American republic as our founders envisioned it; under the Laws of Nature and Nature's God.
There is much more to me as a person and that is one of the wonderful things about friendship, the journey of discovery. I will make mistakes from time to time such as posting something that might have failed my filters but will receive rebuke and correction when enlightened. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me… Now let's get to work defeating our enemies and restore our liberty.

U.K. House Prices at Heights Not Seen Since 2008
Latest Increase Adds to Fears That Prices Are Rising Too Fast
U.K. house prices rose to their highest level in more than five years in December, while mortgage activity surged in November, data showed Friday, adding to concerns that a lack of supply is helping fuel rapid price increases.
The jump was again heavily driven by London, where house prices were nearly twice as high as the rest of the country. The divergence has sparked debate at the highest levels of government over whether there is...

©2007 Thomas F. Madden; (P)2007 Recorded Books
"an opinion piece"
A very interesting set of lectures. I had enjoyed his set on Venice and would recommend it. I was concerned by how partial he was. He appears to be an apologist for the inquistion. I am sure he is correct that the inquisition was a varied set of processes and he did a good job describing the subtleties of it in a historical context but he seemed not to be able to accept that the catholic church was run by earthly men who might also have had political motives for tourturing heretics and sending many to their deaths for expressing contray views. He seems to say that Galilao had it coming for being wrong, which is a little unfair i feel. He does not give Protestant Christians much of the same slack. For example Mary I of England and Elizabeth I had roughly the same number of people killed for religious reasons (Elizabeth over a longer period of time) but he implies that Elizabeth had much more killed. He also says that witch trials and executions with coerced testimony was a protestant procedure when in fact it happened in both Protestant and Catholic areas and the standard of evidence was variable in both juristdictions. He suggests that the inquisition would not accept falseified testimony but the Basque trials would be an example were this many false confessions were clearly obtained. Definately worth a listen but possibly not as balenced as it could be.
"Some of the best info on the Inquistion out there"
While classroom lectures are not as well-read as some of the Times Bestseller fiction novels, the teacher doesn't do a bad job and gives great info on the Inquisition.
Most importantly, one is able to try to understand WHY a sane person would support such a practice. From this vantage point of history, the Inquisitors seem out of their skulls, but I appreciated the professor's lectures precisely because the picture that came through was of rational men taking their beliefs to a logical end. It was enlightening to try to get into their shoes.
The lectures kept me interested. I suspect Dr. Madden is a strong Catholic, but every author and every teacher is biased.
"Very informative"
This covers a lot of history, starting with the Roman origins of inquisitions. The lecturer is very well informed though he does seem to go out of his way to defend the church every few minutes. Even so, he presents the history most have never really looked into in a way that's easy to follow and retain.
"A decent course"
I like Madden's courses, and this one did not disappoint, however, the history of Inquisition stopped being interesting after the Reformation, although the course touched on the modern misconception of the Inquisition, the course could have been more interesting if it focuses more on the heretical theology.
"Why Torture and Murder is Okay"
The lecturer tries to appear neutral, but especially toward the end, he becomes a hardcore apologist for the Catholic church. The purpose of the whole lecture is just to defend the torture and murder of the Inquisition and downplay anything negative. The lecturer seems to think it was okay to torture and kill those "stubborn and rebellious" people who refused to believe in Catholicism. Truly sick. This shouldn't be called "Modern Scholar." It should be called "Modern Catholic Apologist."
""The Inquisition Was Good""
This is a deeply troubling lecture series. Delivered at a reputable college (St. Louis University), the author insists that the Inquisition had its heart in the right place and only meant to spread the word of God through Europe. He implies that the widespread torture and murder of Jews and other minorities was simply a overzealous extension of a perfectly reasonable idea.
Madden glosses over the atrocity that was the Inquisition in favor of a Catholic-friendly "explanation" of why things happened.
There are some interesting historical details here -- and it's fascinating to hear the story from the villain's POV -- but it's jaw-dropping that this is how generations of Catholic students are taught the darkest period in their faith's history.
"Bad news and good"
This lecture, to me, was a big disappointment. Prof. Madden's implied, but not well disguised assertion is that the Catholic Church is inherently right and has no other objectives than to safeguard the spiritual welfare of its believers. Heresy, then, is inherently evil since it could possibly derail the flock from the path of righteousness. Consequently, inquistion is the only logical solution to protect the true and only faith. The heretics are lucky to be protected by the compassion of Canon law. After all, only a few thousand Jews and conversos were executed in Spain. Unfortunately, few historic sources were quoted for these assertions.
But not all is lost. The halting delivery and meagre prose will convince few listeners other than adherents of Opus Dei.
"willfully naive apologia"
incredibly, likely willfully naive - the professor thinks that 'heretics' were 'persuaded' of their errors and recanted having realized this. his basic assertion is that unlike the state, the church only sought to correct. he has never heard of Power, as in requiring loyalty oaths to maintain power. church and state were two mutually sustaining parts.
above is based on listening to the audio up to the inquisition - i had to give it up. hoping audible will refund my $.

Like you, I'm not wild about makeup and so I would love to find a face wash routine that will clear up my skin and make it glow, or something. I'm 25, don't have terrible acne but do have a few blemishes pretty much all the time. (they'll clear up and return elsewhere, I mean)
My question is … How do you go about finding a cleanser/moisturizing routine that works? (Does it need to be trial & error?) How do you tell if you have normal, dry, oily, or T-zone skin? Clearsil worked in that it didn't dry out my skin like Cetaphil, but I still had blemishes :-/
Since my Seventeen magazine subscription ran out 10 years ago, how do I find the right products for my skin? (Again, doesn't trial & error get expensive?)
ARA: Looking for skin routine recommendations
36 Responses
trial and error is expensive, but is the best way. PanOxyl has worked for me (after trying EVERYTHING else). it's a benzoyl peroxide face wash, which some may find too harsh for their skin. but easy and soft just doesn't work for me.
I would suggest asking your friends and coworkers what they use. most people are perfectly happy to provide suggestions.
Another thought is to consult a dermatologist. Everyone should have a body map done anyway (marking moles, making sure they look ok and don't change over the years), and they can have great suggestions. I go to Dr. Baler in Executive Woods and he is wonderful.
Clinique's skin care line has been suitable for me since the age of 15 (and I am 30 now). They have an acne line if need be, which leaves skin blemish free and soft, or they will recommend which products to use based upon your skin type. It's reasonably priced and I never have been disappointed by their product nor associates.
I swear by Aveeno Clear Complexion face wash and moisturizer. Problem with most brands (especially expensive ones) is that they may work great but the fragrance in them kills my skin. I believe the fash wash is around 6 bucks and the lotion is around 8. Not expensive and the best part is, I don't have to go to a mall when I'm running low. Good luck.
I love products by The Body Shop. I was using Clinique previously, but actually find The Body Shop products to be better and more affordable. Also, you can return anything that doesn't work for you. They also will give you a small sample to try at home if you like. I prefer their Nutraganics, Seaweed, and Aloe lines. They have a great seaweed night treament that keeps your skin clear and smooth. I stock up when they have one of their sales so I don't have to pay full price.
What about Clinique? I've tried lots – and I mean lots – of skincare products, but I always seem to go back to Clinique. It's gentle on my skin and I think it's much more reasonably priced than most products from Sephora, Macy's, etc. Don't be afraid to ask questions at the counter, either. That's why the consultants are there. You can find out what skin type you are and what kind of skincare routine is right for you. Also, Clinique now has redness soultion products which may work on your blemishes. I think I'll be trying that myself pretty soon.
Trial and error and asking friends. I can recommend an Avon product, ANEW Rejuvenate. These cleansers and cleams are made for skin that is 30+ but you are not much younger than that and it rouldn't hurt to try. The creams don't have harsh smells and when used together, skin feels super.
Good luck. I am almost 40 and it has taken me years to find products that I like. Skin changes with hormones too so keep that in mind.
Trial and error is how I figured out Neutrogena worked for me. I tried Clearasil, Clean & Clear, Noxema, Biore, anything I saw on the shelf. Nothing helped. I even tried Proactiv and it was great, but after a couple of months it stopped working so I had to find something new.
Buy one product, use it until it's gone (unless it irritates your skin), and if there's no improvement move on to the next one. If there is improvement, keep using it for another month. Once it stops working for you, you'll have to find something else. I'm lucky – I've been using the same product for a long time now (Neutrogena Stress Control) and my skin has stayed pretty constant. The scrub dries out my skin really bad but the cream cleanser works really well. Even if you're not stressed out, for a couple of minor blemishes that frequently reappear it might be worth a shot.
For moisturizer, I've never had a problem with anything so I just buy what's cheapest. Right now I'm using Top Care moisturizer, which comes in a bottle that looks just like the Olay stuff but it's much cheaper. Dab a little on your face, rub it in until it doesn't feel dry, and bam, you're good to go. Everyone recommends that it have an SPF in it, but mine doesn't.
A dermatologist can tell you what kind of skin you have. I used to have an oily T-Zone with dry cheeks and chin, but now that I have a routine that works for me I have normal skin again.
A skin care regimen is a good idea, but if you have continuous blemishes I suggest that you take a good look at your diet. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables,especially dark green leafy types, and eliminate processed foods as much as possible. In my case, my complexion improved a great deal when I stopped eating peanut butter on a regular basis. You may have a trigger food that you can identify and eliminate.
Instead of spending money on "trial and error," I would suggest calling Sephora (1-877-SEPHORA). Tell them what your skin is like, what you are looking for, etc. They will make a recommendation (maybe a few). Write down the names of these products, walk into the store, and request samples. They are very good about giving samples out and they are free!! This will allow you to make a decision without having to spend exhorbitant amounts of money. Also, if you purchase something from Sephora, use it for a bit and don't like it, you can return the unused portion for a full refund.
The reason I say call Sephora to ask instead of asking in the store is because on the phone, they have all sorts of information at their fingertips, whereas in the store, recommendations seem based more on personal preference.
I have normal/dry skin, and I use Philosophy Purity Made Simple, and Boscia Smoothing Facial Polish as my twice a week exfoliator. The Boscia was recommended to me over the phone at that Sephora number ater having more than one frustrating experience with in-store recommendations.
Good luck!
Yes, trial and error may be a good way to go about this. But keep in mind that you probably have oily or combination skin. Look for products that are gentle and specifically geared towards your skin type. It doesn't hurt to get a consultation from other skin care lines.
I would try Sephora and Clinique based on my own personal history with oil skin, etc.
FYI – if you are on birth control, look into taking a pill that may help with acne. My hormones were a direct reason why my face went crazy and oily in my late twenties. Sometimes our health affects our skin, too.
I love Mario Badescu products. They sell them at Circles in Stuyvesant plaza. What they lack in appeal (their containers are quite plain looking) they make up for in the quality of the products. My skin has changes significantly since having children, so I wanted a consult as well. I spoke with the woman at Circles who gave me impressions about what would work and then gave me MB samples to figure out what I liked/didn't like. All the best to you and your skin!
I'm 23 (almost 24) and I remember feeling the same way about a year ago now. I like you never had full out acne, but would have a little blemish here or there occasionally, but it seemed like my face was hardly ever perfectly clear and I was getting sick of it. I tried EVERYTHING! Every face wash, every moisturizer (even expensive Sephora ones), blemish creams, proactive, etc. There wasn't something I didn't try.
I finally gave up and went to a dermatologist-which I highly suggest. My face is literally almost always blemish free now. I really only will get maybe one blemish during that time of the month. Otherwise my face has been blemish free. It's incredible.
My routine:
Cetaphil morning and night followed by the prescription my doctor gave me which is Clindamyacin solution. This may sound weird but I use Albolene as a moisturizer/makeup remover. As a moisturizer I just put it all over my face then wipe it off with a towel. It leaves my face super smooth, moisturized and not one bit oily. It's incredible stuff. That's it! My face has improved 110%.
Hope I could help.
I agree with everyone that trial and error is the only way to find what works for you. I've also tried pretty much everything on the market to no avail. It sounds like we have the same skin issues and I am also your age. I just started using Fresh's Soy Face Cleaner ($15 for a 1.7oz tube) and it's been great so far. It takes off all my makeup in a snap and I've noticed my skin is brighter and clearer. But do give products a try to find out what works for you. Take advantage of samples at cosmetic counters, Sephora and even write to companies you'd like to try and ask them for a sample. It's the only way to find something. Good luck!
One word, Clinique
Origins has the best line of skin care scrubs, lotions, etc. Go to their location in Macy's in Colonie Center, they are very helpful and will set you up with a good routine.
trial and error, good diet, and whatever you do, do not go to a dermatologist
All you need is a bottle of Clean and Clear face wash. The cost is under 5 dollars. This product works on all types of skin. It removes eye makeup and even exfoliates the skin on your lips. Just follow with a good day/night moisturizer.
For skin that is prone to break outs, do not rub in your moisturizer. Simply apply it in a DOWNWARD moition on your face to seal in moisture. Rubbing in moisturizer will only irritate breakout prone skin.
I just recently started using avon clearskin professional (like 2 months ago). It has been great and I've noticed a big difference in my skin (I had similar problem – few blemishes all the time but random spots on my face). My skin feels great and looks much healthier! and no blemishes! yay! oh, and it's not expensive which is great!!
Dermatologist, dermatologist, dermatologist!!(if you have the insurance). I cannot believe I waited 30 years to see one. Even if they were only minor issues, he got me on a a routine with minimal medications long term and I feel 100% more confident about my skin which reflects in my attitude. (and besides, regular skin checks of your whole body are really important so you should have a yearly check anyway!!)
I would start with a dermotologist associated with a aestician (sp.) In some cases this might be covered by health insurance. But continued doctor care for acne is only covered with active acne.
Drink more water; dry skin causes breakouts just as much as oily does.
I also have visited Gooding Skin Systems; they give wonderful advice on skin care and give a great cleansing facial (you will want a facial before starting a new regimen.)
What works for my skin now is much different than what it was 10 or even 5 years ago, so be prepared to change when something no longer works for you.
I love Clinique. I used to buy one kind of cleanser, uder it till the end, not see any big changed, so then i would buy something else. I've been using Clinique now for more than a year and I would never buy anything else. I have crazy oily skin and I use the #4 face wash, the moisturizing gel, and the #4 tonic. I love it all, works great!
I'm a Mary Kay fan. It's a PITA to find a consultant sometimes (I'm lucky to have one at work). However, I went to their Timewise skincare system before my wedding and noticed such a HUGE difference. After the wedding, I was unemployed and stopped using it and my face went back to the old way…I couldn't wait to start working again and buy my products!
I use the 3-in-1 face wash morning and night (saves some steps!)
Tinted moisturizer during the day/plain moisturizer at night
2x week I use the microdermabrasion kit (it's amazing and way better than anything I've ever seen over the counter)
This combination keeps my skin glowing! I used to need foundation to even out my skintone and the tinted moisturizer is enough now.
Also, you can return any Mary Kay product at any time. So say you use half the bottle and then decide you don't like it…return for a full refund. 100% guarantee on ALL products.
I would strongly recommend Clinique products. I have struggled with dry/oily acne prone skin; it can be hard to deal with. Similar to JT, I have used their products since 12 years old and right on through my late twenties. I recommend initially going to a Clinique counter to have your skin evaluated by an associate. I have always found the sales associates helpful and never attempted to get me to buy more than what I came in for. Clinique's products are long lasting and reasonably priced. I use the mild bar soap, clarifying lotion #2 and finish with one of many great Clinique moisturizers, depending on the time of the year. I recently also added a retinoid to my regime, prior to applying moisturizer at night. Philosophy's Help Me Retiniod has really helped with shrinking pores, evening and brightening my skin tone and is extremely mild. Good luck in finding a product that works for you!
Cleanse-Tone-Moisturize. Some people forget that there are 3 very important parts and don't use toner. Toner is important because it not only gets rid of any cleansing residue but also restores the ph balance in your skin that sometimes dries out due to cleansing. Putting on toner is my favorite part of my skin care regimen.
I usually use Origin's products as well. They are less expensive than Clinique. They have a great charcoal mask and even greater exfoliate called Modern Friction. Couple that with Brighter by Nature (which is a skin brightening serum) and the right face wash & moisturizer for your skin type. It's amazing. They have something for everyone.
As far as choosing moisturizers, if you have oily skin you'll probably be more comfortable with a light lotion rather than a cream. I have dry skin and it's cream all the way for me in the winter time. Being only 25 you'll probably want to choose a moisturizer that prevents wrinkles & fine lines rather than correct them because I highly doubt you have to worry about that yet :)
@Boo – I would just comment that the reader should deal with her acne situation before preventing wrinkles/fine lines because those products might cause a huge flair up with her acne. Just a suggestion.
Regarding the person who mentioned that she gets acne from peanut butter…that's likely from the preservatives, corn syrup, and/or added sugar. The natural kinds should be fine. I noticed that corn syrup (in soda, etc.) always gives me breakouts, as well as dairy.
Finally figured it out …. after years….. and lots of money Body Shop's Nutroganics Line. You have to go organic. It's the answer.
About a year ago I tried MaryKay, I use there TimeWise face wash. I have always had some acne, but since I started using MaryKay I have had only a handful of blemishes. The facewash is $18, which might seem like a lot, but it lasts for 6 months.
There was an ARA not long ago similar to this one. I've been going through this since I was about 13 and I'm almost 30. I have seriously tried just about everything, then someone suggested Dermologica…it has helped me extensively, more than anything else ever did, including several dermotologists. Dermologica is very expensive, but worth every penny!!
I agree with #9, but I would suggest you go to Sephora and have them look at your skin first. This time of year, it will be easier if you call ahead and ask for an appointment so that you don't have to worry about trying to grab someone from the floor. I did this probably about 6 months ago because my skin is changing and I came home with 3 or 4 samples each of cleansers, moisturizers and masks/exfoliants. It was a great experience and my skin looks great because I am not drying it out all of the time. Good luck!
Mary Kay! And if you don't like it they will refund your money. :) And, if you want some…contact me I am a consultant! I love the products and a lot of people at work do as well :)
I had to do trial and error. It is very expensive but once you figure it out… you will not be sorry. I have very sensitive skin, meaning it dries out super easy (especially this time of year). I don't have acne or any kind of pimples for that matter, but extremely dry skin can be just as much of an irritant!
My regime is quite cheap. I now spend around 10-15 dollars every couple of months, tops. First and foremost- I DO NOT use soap, of any kind, on my face. I use baby wipes to remove make-up (at night), and then use cool water and a washcloth. I moisturize immediately after with Vaseline Brand- Deep Moisture Creamy Formula lotion. I use this twice a day, each time after washing my face. A couple times a week I give my face an ice bath. It's cold at first, but feels so refreshing after! I have spent several hundreds of dollars on products through the years and ended up combining what I read from magazines or heard from friends. I am 28 and figured this little routine out about 3 years ago. Good luck reader!
Merle Norman Cosmetics in Saratoga. I have been using various skincare products from there for 20 years. At 35 I get told all time how much younger I look. Terri the owner can see what type of skin you have and recommend products that will work for you. My skin has changed over the years and as a result we change the products I use.
Avon Clearskin face wash and scrub. Might want to use mineral makeup too. I find my skin doesn't get dry and clogged with a gentle face wash and mineral makeup.
