Originally published in the Bangor Daily News on August 29, 2014.
Editor's note: In this monthly series, the authors will introduce you to people who are apt to be your neighbors, are struggling to make ends meet and have been affected by specific state policies. To share your story, email email@example.com or call 581-2382.
Claire and Lonnie El-Hajj feel lucky to have found one another three years ago.
It was a chance meet-up in Cascade Park in Bangor, in July 2011, when Lonnie, who uses a wheelchair, approached Claire to talk to her about her dogs. His doctor had told him that a dog might help him feel less depressed.
In describing their first meeting, Claire joyously said, "I thought he was coming over to 'spare change' me, but he wasn't even looking at me. He was looking at the dogs. He said he needed a dog and wanted one that was sturdy enough, that if it fell off the wheelchair, it wouldn't break its leg. Six weeks later, we were married. It's unbelievable."
Lonnie teasingly added, "She got lucky" — illustrating the good-humored banter that flew between them during our interview.
Both Claire and Lonnie receive Social Security Disability Insurance because of physical disabilities, which abruptly interrupted their working lives when they were in their 40s.
Claire described how their status as working adults quickly changed once they experienced disability and began living on fixed incomes: "We both came from big families. Mine was a poor family; his wasn't. We're intelligent, and we were making good money at the time. But when it all starts sliding away, it slips off like snow off the roof, and then it is done."
Claire began working at age 15, and five years later, she started her 22-year career on the clerical staff at the Bangor phone company. At 42, her multiple sclerosis, diagnosed only a few years earlier, prevented her from being able to do her job.
Lonnie began working in grade school, helping out at his family's store. For nearly 30 years, he owned his own contracting company in the Winterport area and had many lucrative real estate investments. At age 47, he suffered a massive stroke.
He was homeless for some period of time before eventually securing a subsidized apartment in Bangor, where he was living when he met Claire.
Claire and Lonnie's marriage has led to some loss of services for Lonnie. His Social Security Disability Insurance check is just over $800 per month. He recognizes that as a self-employed contractor with a "good accountant," he probably did not pay into Social Security as much as he should have, given his income, resulting in relatively low benefits.
Prior to his marriage to Claire, he was eligible for Medicaid (MaineCare), Section 8 housing and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps. He also received some personal care assistance and help with transportation.
Lonnie and Claire's combined annual income puts them just over the income limit to receive any means-tested benefits or services. They live together in the Brewer apartment Claire has lived in since she left her house.
Claire receives both her Social Security Disability Insurance benefits and a small pension. She also receives supplemental health care through Blue Cross, and Lonnie has been able to be a beneficiary of that insurance now that he is no longer eligible for Medicaid.
"There are people out there that think 'I'm going to retire, and I'll have Medicare, and I'll be all set,'" Claire cautioned. "But they have to realize that there is so much that is not covered. And not everyone is blessed with the good medical plan that I have. I had a good union job."
Even with supplemental health insurance, Claire and Lonnie struggle to meet their basic needs, especially in the months when they need to pay the co-pays on the many medications they require.
"Our income is unpredictable, because it is either the month we have to buy the pills, or I break my arm, or he develops another potassium deficiency, and we have to buy another medication," Claire said.
Recently, they needed to buy wheels for Lonnie's wheelchair, and then they lost all the food in their freezer when it would not close properly.
"We have no fallback, no savings. So when those things happen, it is a huge hit," Claire said.
When asked what they do when there is not enough money, they said they don't buy groceries, or they skip paying bills. Because Lonnie has some digestive difficulties and needs to eat a specific diet, they are not able to take advantage of the food offered by food banks.
They collect cans and bottles on the roadside for extra money and sell belongings through newspaper advertisements and Uncle Henry's.
Despite their very tight finances and the physical pain they live with, there is clearly much joy in their lives. They are very grateful to have found one another after years of loneliness.
Claire remembers looking out her window at the activity and people on the busy street where she lives and thinking, "Nobody knows I'm here. I'm just dying here by myself."
Earlier in his life, Lonnie helped start the ambulance corps in Winterport and was a volunteer basketball coach. He would love to be employed, but not being able to drive means he could only work someplace he could access by wheelchair; and in the winter, that would be impossible.
"The blessing that we have is that we are not alone anymore. I don't want pity. We have hard times, but we get through them," Claire said.
Claire hoped others could learn from their experiences, providing this caution: "Don't go blindly into your future. You may not be able to save that money, but don't be lulled into thinking it will be fine. Social Security is not the way to live. It's meant to supplement a pension. Of course, if you don't work a long time, you don't have that pension. Neither one of us, when we were in our peak earning time and we got sick, ever thought about this."
What Lonnie and Claire don't mention is what might have happened if Social Security had not been there for them, or if it had been converted to privatized accounts as was frequently proposed before the Great Recession and crash of the stock market underscored the risks of such a change. Because the Social Security program is an insurance program, Claire and Lonnie receive benefits for life despite the unexpected and unfortunate premature end to their careers in paid employment.
Proposals to privatize Social Security do not take into consideration the impact such a policy change would have on individuals such as Lonnie and Claire.

A one-of-a-kind rock 'n' roll collectible � a working guitar and work of art depicting the authentic autographs, likenesses and symbolic images of Alanis Morissette and Mario �MC Souleye� Treadway � will be raffled off this weekend to help a local man fighting for his life.
Scott Fitzgibbons, 41, who is married and the father of three daughters, was recently diagnosed with stage IV esophageal cancer.
Mr. Fitzgibbons, who is a Worcester County sheriff's deputy and former Wales policeman, is the son of former Sturbridge and former Chatham police Chief Kevin P. Fitzgibbons.
Michael Cantwell, who served as a police officer for 10 years (and worked under Chief Fitzgibbons in both Sturbridge and Chatham), spearheaded a combination benefit event and guitar raffle for his ailing friend.
�Scott and I grew up together. He was diagnosed with stage IV esophageal cancer in mid- to late December,� Mr. Cantwell said. �Scott is currently going through eight sessions of chemo, biweekly. And they will conclude another PET (position emission tomography) scan to see where his cancer is at and re-evaluate from there.�
As to getting Morissette and Treadway to literally sign on to this benefit, it helped to have connections.
Morissette's worldwide debut album, �Jagged Little Pill,� is the best-selling debut album by a female artist in the United States and the highest-selling debut album worldwide, selling 33 million units globally. On May 22, 2010, Morissette married Treadway, who is formerly of Sturbridge and a 1999 graduate of Tantasqua Regional High School. The two have a son, Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway, who was born Dec. 25, 2010.
�We had the connection to Alanis Morissette. My brother is best friends with her husband to the point that the parents are coming and sitting at my brother's table,� Mr. Cantwell said. �This may be the only thing that they (Morissette and Treadway) have both signed together, to be quite honest with you. This is a feat. This is not something they do. They are very, very private people. And this guitar is one-of-a-kind.�
Before the guitar was a unique rock 'n' roll curiosity and keepsake it was just a few blocks of unfinished wood. That is, until Paul Girouard got his hands on it.
An accomplished cabinetmaker and woodworker, Mr. Girouard makes his guitar from the neck (which, he said, is the most complicated part of a guitar to construct) to the body, as well as the fret-board, all from scratch. As for the electronic components, Mr. Girouard said that is probably the easiest part of building a guitar.
�I don't do two of them alike,� Mr. Girouard said. �If somebody says they want me to make them that guitar (pointing to the wall of custom-made guitars), there has to be something different in it. There would have to be something to make it unique.�
Mr. Girouard, who owns Fine Lines Custom Cabinetry & Furniture and Girouard Guitars, both at 4 Stagecoach Road in the Fiskdale section of Sturbridge, has always loved music and has been playing the guitar since he was 8 years old.
�I didn't want to play the piano anymore. My mother was killing me with the organ,� Mr. Girouard said. �I tried to make a guitar when I was a kid but never finished it. But it has always been something that has been in the back of my mind.�
One day about four years ago, a customer came into his business with a broken guitar and asked Mr. Girouard if he could fix it.
�We started looking at it, looking at how the body and the neck was all put together and realized that it wasn't anything that was all that difficult from a construction standpoint,� Mr. Girouard said. �There're a lot of things that are very precise, more so than in cabinetmaking. But it wasn't anything that we couldn't figure out.�
Shortly afterwards, Mr. Girouard made his first guitar from scratch and shipped it out to one of his working-class musician friends to try it out. With a few suggestions attached, the guitar was returned to Mr. Girouard after its rigorous workout in the rock 'n' roll trenches a month later.
The main criticism was the weight of the guitar, said Mr. Girouard.
�We had used lace wood, which is a very dense hardwood from Australia, very heavy,� Mr. Girouard said. �And his main complaint was, when he is standing on stage for three hours and it's hanging off his neck, he goes home with a sore shoulder.�
Mr. Girouard rattles off different types of �good tone� woods he uses for his guitar. This includes ash, alder, mahogany, maple and walnut for the body and some exotic woods, including Brazilian cherry, ebony and rosewood, for accents and fret-boards.
In the case of the one-of-the kind Alanis-Souleye guitar, the body is made of alder.
�It's a very good tone wood,� Mr. Girouard said. �A lot of your Fenders are made out of alder.�
While Mr. Girouard did all the woodworking on this Alanis collectible, it's Meredith Berthiaume of Monson who did the artwork.
Ms. Bethiaume is an accomplished pyrographer, an artist who decorates wood with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object, such as a poker. After she burned the images of Morissette with her free-flowing and flower-decorated locks blowing in the wind and Souleye's snake-adorned microphone, she colored and then lacquered it.
�Meredith just has this vision and she can just see it and put it down on the wood,� Mr. Girouard said. �And she just adds to it. It's just incredible. I don't know how she does it.�
The Alanis-Souleye guitar will be on view from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Sturbridge Host Hotel, 366 Main St., followed by a fundraiser, �Support Fitzy's Fight,� starting at 6:30 p.m. Tickets for the guitar raffle can be bought during those hours for $25 each. Table seats for the fundraiser are sold out, but standing-room tickets for $30 will be available at the door.

Mobypicture is a small company located in the city centre of Amsterdam. Moby was the first company in the world to enable people to share photos and video to Twitter. We have a couple of products, such as MobyNow – our business to business solution – and Tag the Love, our brand new product for collecting all social traffic around individuals.
We work for well established clients that are often very enthusiastic, such as Heineken, Rabobank, 3FM, 538, Top Notch; Amsterdam stuff like TedXAmsterdam, the Museumnacht and the RAI conference center, and personal brands like Churandy Martina. That's why we can make awesome stuff that is used and seen by literally millions of people. Mobypicture has won many awards over the last years and is working on the next level of publishing, helping brands and individuals find the right mix of communication with their target audience.
To expand our services and make sure we can keep improving the quality of our products, we need an experienced web developer. You'll be responsible for maintenance and development of our APIs and system architecture (PHP) and work together with front-end developers and designers on the Mobypicture website and client platforms. Because we're small and move fast, you'll have to know your way around HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The Mobynow and Tag the Love platforms are client side applications.
This is you:
This is what we offer:
If you think you want to work at a small company in the centre of Amsterdam, where you can realise your potential as an experienced developer, carry out your ideas, work together with enthusiastic colleagues on new social media things that will be seen and used by millions worldwide, send us an e-mail or tweet: firstname.lastname@example.com, @mathys or @mobypicture.

Mobypicture is one of the partners for Kings of Code and will be will be presenting their popular API during the Hackathon this Saturday. The Kings of Code hackathon is a 26 hour contest for developers to build an app, a service or something else that utilizes the API of one of their partners.
The Mobypicture API helps developers to make their apps social. Because Mobypicture is able to share photos, video and audio to over more than 60 different services and destinations, developers -who want to help their users share their adventures and content across the web- only need to implement the Mobypicture API, instead of adding and servicing all the individual services (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Foursquare, Tumblr, Google Plus).
Over 1200 different apps/services have implemented Moby's API, mostly focussing on sharing photos, videos, screenshots etc. We're really proud of our developers and keep introducing new calls and options to extend and improve the already numerous possibilities.
The challenge
Developers use Mobypicture for sharing content simply because it really is the easiest way to make apps social. But the Mobypicture API could be used for creative stuff like fun games as well.
Using the friend feed it would be really easy to make a simple fun app like:
Interesting calls you guys should explore
Get the friends of a user.
Search for posts on Mobypicture. Supports searching by geolocation.
Get the media posted by a user.
Besides the prizes and an opportunity to present the app on stage at Kings of Code, Mobypicture also awards the best, most creative, or funniest app (built upon our API) with a full-fledged MobyNow platform, plus 1 year of hosting. Employing a MobyNow platform will drive traffic back to the app website and will increase conversion. (so this will make you money!!!)
Not attending the conference/hackathon?
Of course you can still build a cool app using our API. Just sign up for a free API key at: http://www.mobypicture.com/apps/my

Dear beloved developers,
The last weeks have been pretty exciting for Moby.
But first a thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to use Moby for making your apps and sites more social.
We've passed the magic 1000 API developers marker!
Some other highlights:
There was a great hackathon at the TNW conference in Amsterdam. Four teams have built some cool apps with the Moby API.
Tweetdeck for iPhone, the beautiful Tweetbot, Echofon for Mac and YoruFukurou for Mac were some of the Twitter apps adding us, but also a cool screenshot app in Adobe Air named Screentweetr and a neat new photo app called Magichour added Moby as an upload destination.
For MobyNow (beta status, which has some undocumentated APIs) a Pro Cycling app and a Field Hockey app were launched. Our MobyNow APIs enable our developer community to tap into the real-time market and built context rich apps and services easily for their clients.
It has also been pretty hectic around the rights issues and Terms of Service of Twitpic and many of the other photo/video sharing services out there. I have blogged about this and many, many websites have stressed the not user-(read customer)-centric terms which entitle the platforms to sell the shared photos and videos. (TechCrunch, ASMP.org, TNW)
We think that developers and platforms should give their users good insights into what they can expect from the sites and services they use. When a default sharing service is used, the user ends up with an account and automatically has agreed to the ToS.
ToS action
That's why we're introducing a new API call for our developers. The ToS action.
This is a very simple call with which you can present the user with the ToS. :)
(you can choose: plain text, xml, json or html)
Let's give our mutual customers/users the best possible service and present them with friendly partners :) Moby for default!
p.s. we're hiring! looking for mobile developers and great thinkers
In: Announcements by: mathys25 Feb 2011
In the past few days we've added some missing actions:
Until today it was possible to add friends, but not remove them, or check the relation between two users. Retrieving a user's media had to be done via the searchAPI. Not a bad thing, but our searchAPI is not as scalable as our normal API. getuserMedia is much more optimized.
We've also added pagination to getFriends and getFollowers. It is not required, but because users can have hundreds of friends and followers, it is advised.
We will continue to add and improve our API in the coming weeks! Any feedback is, as always, very much appreciated.
In: Sharing our knowledge by: mathys16 Feb 2011
We're using quite a bit of Open Source software and are learning a lot by reading blogposts from other developers.
We think it's time to start sharing our knowledge as well. Our team has quite some experience with high traffic websites, not only from Mobypicture, but also from earlier companies like Sugababes.nl (peaked to 200M+ pageviews a month). We will write about our knowledge in PHP, MySQL, Linux and Amazon AWS at first, expanding it to our mobile development later.
We will release a couple of blogposts in the next weeks and will release most of our mobile apps as Open Source after we've released them.
Some of the blogposts we are writing are:
We hope you will find our blogposts as interesting as we find yours and maybe they will start some discussions we will all benefit from.

I love the 'Operation Developer Love' by Facebook. They're actively working on their API, docs, support forums after neglecting it for a while, to win back the support of their development community:
We have received a great deal of feedback recently about things we should do to improve Facebook Platform. The themes are clear: "fix the bugs," "update the documentation," "talk to us more," and "make things more reliable." We are listening, and this post outlines some of the things we are doing to address your concerns.
I feel like we have neglected our developers and API a bit as well and am trying to make it up to you. We've rewritten our documentation last week and tried to straighten our API and remove inconsistencies. Now it's your turn:
Tell us what you think we should fix, improve, change or add to our API or our documentation. Please tell us your ideas, dreams and hates, so we can make our current and new v2.0 API better. The new API will be RESTful (and not action-based as it is now) and we are looking closely at Facebook's Graph API because of its simplicity. But we're only with few and you are with many.
So my request on Valentines day is easy: We love your feedback.
In: Announcements by: mathys11 Feb 2011
Our API has been around for some time. For long you can do almost anything you can do on Mobypicture also through our API. From registering new users, posting comments and getting all the info about a post. Our documentation however wasn't our strongest point and our API had some illogical calls.
We completely rewrote our documentation this week with example responses and a better description of which parameters you can and have to send. At the same time, we leveled the illogical parts of our API. It was for example nescessary to send the parameter u for most calls, but sometimes you had to use username. Same for post-id's and tinyurl codes with or without the moby.to part. Every call accepts the same parameters and returns more similar results.
No need to worry BTW, our API stays completely backwards compatible, which results in some illogic response fields. Please just ignore those :)
If you have any feedback, please let us know! We're always happy to improve.

Friday 26th November at 23.00 CET the Mobypicture.com, Moby.to and 147 other domains Mathys van Abbe registered got suspended by Sitelutions, the company we've been using for many years for domain name registration and DNS hosting.
A Mobypicture user has supposedly uploaded a copyrighted photo on our website. The company owning the rights of this picture has made a complaint and sent us a DMCA notice through Sitelutions.
Read the rest of the story on the Mobypicture blog.
We apologize for all the trouble this caused. We already made sure there were as less single-points-of-failure as possible in our architecture, but did not suspect DNS would be the cause of such severe downtime twice in 2 weeks. We will make sure this won't happen again.
In: Announcements by: mathys20 Jul 2010
We never had hard limits on our API, but because of some excessive use of our Search API lately, we are forced to implement rate limiting. We will however not limit the upload call and will play nice with the rate limit.
Currently we will limit calls to our Search API to 5 calls per 10 seconds. That's still 1800 calls per hour. Our current 1.0 and new 2.0 API's are not yet limited, but will be in the future. The same limits will probably apply.
Please note that:
You should implement caching on your end when you use our API and expect a lot of traffic. We receive a lot of uncached queries to, for example, getThumb and SearchPosts, which could easily be cached.
Our API is not built for large scale javascript implementations. You should always proxy calls through your own server, to prevent massive duplicate queries.

Catherine Sutton, as a British teenager in the '60s, frightened her sister with dire predictions of nuclear catastrophe. Today, as the initiator of Transition Albany—the effort of a 1.7-square-mile California town (population 16,500+) to transform itself into a self-reliant and resilient community—she represents one of the brightest spots of hope on my horizon.
The Transition Town concept began in 2005 in Kinsale, Ireland where permaculture student Louise Rooney worked up a project for her town to develop a plan to cope with global warming, rising oil prices, and the economic instability they will cause. Rooney's project was honed and replicated in Totnes, England, in 2006, and as of December 2009, has spread to some 256 "official Transition Towns" in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North and South America, and elsewhere. In addition, hundreds more places are Transition "mullers"—towns (or cities, or neighborhoods) where people are thinking about developing their own Transition plans.
Becoming an official Transition Town doesn't give a place any particular solutions for how to face the future. Rather, it's a recognition that a collection of local individuals have agreed to seek a community response to the challenge of climate change and diminished oil supplies and to abide by certain philosophies and guidelines in developing that response. On its website, Transition Towns says:
- "Climate change makes this carbon reduction transition essential
- Peak oil makes it inevitable
- Transition initiatives make it feasible, viable and attractive (as far we can tell so far...)
We truly don't know if this will work. Transition is a social experiment on a massive scale. What we are convinced of is this:
- if we wait for the governments, it'll be too little, too late
- if we act as individuals, it'll be too little
- but if we act as communities, it might just be enough, just in time."
Transition offers training workshops and sets out guidelines for how to get from good intentions to concrete actions. These include: building awareness, identifying and developing partners, holding "open space" discussions that help participants to define their own needs and solutions, creating visible projects, and eventually, spinning off the steering committee members to subcommittees so that no particular clique dominates.
Transition promotes: "People who are learning by doing—and learning all the time. People who understand that we can't sit back and wait for someone else to do the work. People like you, perhaps."
Catherine Sutton happened to be visiting England in March 2009 where she learned about transition towns and saw the movie "The Age of Stupid" about a post-global-warming survivor in 2055 speculating on why we didn't do something about global warming when we first knew about it. Two months later, she enrolled in a Transition training workshop in Oakland, California. In the months between May and October, she talked up the Transition concept to friends and neighbors and forged a Transition Albany steering committee and website. In October, Transition Albany held a kick-off event, a "Local Foods Potluck Feast." This was where, carrying my tomato salad, I first met Ms. Sutton and some 30 or so others, and where we saw the film "Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil."
Since then, Transition Albany has sponsored free films at the library: "The End of Suburbia," "A Crude Awakening," and "Microcosmos," as well as held an open space forum on "Where and How to Grow More Food in Albany," all part of the "building awareness" phase of the Transition process. Transition Albany, still in the "muller" category, is currently applying for official Transition Town status.
In late December, I invited Sutton to tell me how she came to spearhead Transition Albany. She is a tall, lithe, gray-haired woman who was locking her bicycle up outside the teashop where we met. Our conversation was far-ranging and engaging, touching on Sutton's study of Russian in university, her encounter as a young woman with guru Prem Rawat from whom she learned that if she listened to the stillness within her, she would find a place of strength that never wavered. We talked of her single-handedly raising her son, of her interest in Balkan folk dance, and that she had just become a grandmother. In the end, I found myself unable to pinpoint why Sutton has stepped up to the challenge of this job beyond the fact that it's a job that needs doing and that she's available and inspired enough to want to create a true sense of community in the place where she happens to be living. And that's what gives me hope: that ordinary communities might create a viable, vibrant Plan B in a world without a Plan A.

Happy Friday Everyone! And Happy March!
As mentioned yesterday, Escentual are running their French Pharmacy discounts from today (check it out here – There will be a 10% discount on Bioderma using the code: BIODERMA10 until the 31st of March) with a selection of goodies at various discounts (they are now stocking Bioderma too!).
I also have a fab giveaway for you today, in conjunction with the lovely people at Escentual – I have chosen my top French Pharmacy picks, and 5 of my readers (that's you!) will have a chance to win the whole set!
Want to see what I chose?….
First off I went for the cleanser everyone is raving about;
Bioderma Sebium H20 –
Designed for those with combination to oily skin, the soap-free formula can be used on the face and other imperfection-prone areas of the body, such as the chest and back. Sebium H2O cleanses the skin in depth, and improves the quality of sebum production with the patented Fluidactiv® complex.
Inspired by the "Elixir of Youth" used by Queen Isabelle of Hungary, this powerful, plant-based skincare smoothes features, tightens pores and gives a burst of radiance to the complexion.
Why did I choose this?
Another cult beauty product, Caudalie's Beauty Elixir is quite unusual at first spritz – I remember it smelling minty – but it's refreshing and good for those on the go refreshes. It can also be used as a toner!
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast
Specifically adapted to suit the skincare needs of the entire family, this compensating formula enables skin to recover comfort once more following dermatitis and epidermal alterations, such as chapped skin and intense dryness.
Why did I choose this?
It's difficult choosing one thing from La Roche-Posay at the range is so large and it's full of good products. I was torn between this and Effaclar Duo which is great for clogged skin. I went for the Cicaplast B5 in the end as I've always had luck with B5 moisturisers on my delicate skin and it's a great all rounder for when your skin feels like it needs a hug. Also great on husbands, mothers, and children (is it just me, or do you always get asked 'do you have any cream' by other family members?). Well, this is the one you can chuck in your bag and apply on anyone, anywhere (apart from near the eyes!) and it's a generous 100ml tube.
Avene Antirougeurs Calm –
When skin experiences discomfort, pulling or heated sensations, it can be hard to calm the flare-up. The Repair Mask instantly soothes angry skin with its fresh and creamy texture, and then works deep within the skin to improve skin microcirculation with Ruscus extract. This ensures that both long-term diffuse redness and temporary redness are reduced, and the skin is moisturised and repaired.
Why did I choose this?
With this weird hot-cold-snow-wind weather, everyones skin needs a bit of a soothing mask to fix it. Avene is a wonderful, affordable skincare range which I always turn too if my skin goes mad and needs to be calmed down. I can count on it to sort out any rashes and not make things any worse. The Antirougeurs Calm Soothing Repair Mask is a easy to use cream mask you leave on for ten minutes then remove – ahhh my skin is feeling calmer just thinking about it!
Nuxe Baume Prodigieux Levres Nutri
The multi-purpose formula deeply nourishes lip skin with mango and shea butters sunflower and sweet almond oils. Vitamin E SPF15 keep the skin protected, while plant fillimg microspheres smooth and replump the lips
Why did I choose this?
The glamour bit of my picks – Nuxe – LOVE this brand – have these slightly tinted lip balms that double as glosses and also have SPF15 which is a really nice change from the usual lip balm and if like me you are short on time, it kills two birds with one stone. This shade 02 Legendaire Pink is a pretty shimmery sherry pink which is very wearable!
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse
The lightweight, dry finish, multi-use oil is made up of 98.1% natural origin ingredients with a high concentration of 30% precious plant oils, including borage, sweet almond, hazelnut, St. John's wort, camellia, and macadamia. An added infusion of soothing, nourishing vitamin E ensures antioxidant protection and long-lasting moisturisation.
Why did I choose this?
I am mad for body oils but not all are equal. I have owned Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse before in the bronze version and it was so concentrated I am sure I owned it for around 2 years. The scent is gorgeous, I've yet to find another oil that smells as nice as this one for the same price. This also works in your hair and all over!
So they are my picks, I hope you like them!
Want to win a set?
Answer my question in the comments section for a chance to win!
I associate French women with being very naturally beautiful and chic, but all the time making it look effortless. I always picture a French mama telling her daughters how to style their hair or accessorise their clothes…maybe that's just my fantasy, but that's what I imagine.
Which leads me to my question:
"What is your favourite beauty tip that your mother, or any relative or older loved one taught you?"
My mother always told me to eat well (she never talked to me about make up or even skincare, she just told me to drink lots of healthy soup) and to finish washing my face with a cold splash of water every time I wash it (which I don't always do – but it works for my mum, she looks pore-less!).
Closing Date: Friday the 15th of March
Winners will be e-mailed the weekend following. Please reply to your email within 48 hours – I will need your address to get the prizes sent out!

I will first just say that this episode was well done, and it will be one of my topo, início favorites.
Also, just because they "broke up" does not mean they don't amor each other. Trust me, they do amor each other, but for them, now is just not the right time. Their relationship is just wonderful. It takes a lot of thinking and even some alone time to see how they can figure it all out. I mean look at them since season 1. You can obviously see all this tension between the two.

HAVELOCK -- Fans may look at Havelock�s first-round playoff opponent and see a 4-7 record. But that�s not what Coach Jim Bob Bryant sees.
HAVELOCK -- Fans may look at Havelock�s first-round playoff opponent and see a 4-7 record. But that�s not what Coach Jim Bob Bryant sees.
Bryant sees Topsail as a big, physical team that lost games to tough 4A competition. He said the Rams simply can�t overlook the Pirates, who are scheduled to visit Havelock for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on Friday.
�They�re better than their record,� Bryant said. �They played in a 3A/4A league so they played against some good competition. Laney, New Hanover and Hoggard � that�s three really good 4A football teams that play in their conference, so they�re used to playing good competition.�
Havelock (11-0), the two-time defending state champs, enters the playoffs as the No. 1 seed. Topsail is the 16th seed, having secured a playoff spot by beating South Brunswick 13-7 on Nov. 1.
The Pirates have struggled offensively since the first two games of the season in which they scored 69 points. In the last nine games, Topsail has scored just 54 points and has been shut out four times.
Meanwhile, Havelock�s defense has posted six shutouts this season, allowing just six offensive touchdowns all year. Andrew Ramirez has 87 tackles to lead the Rams, who have come up with 23 turnovers.
Still, West Craven was able to move the ball against the Rams in last week�s game, a 21-7 Havelock victory. The Eagles totaled 17 first downs and 232 total yards, 166 of which came in the air.
�Blocking and tackling, we didn�t really do a good job of that on either side of the ball against West Craven,� Bryant said. �We attribute that to an open week (on Nov. 1), and West Craven played us good, but we�ve got to block and tackle better. We missed several tackles in the backfield and we didn�t sustain blocks on the offense.�
Havelock is averaging 42.5 points per game behind a stout running attack. The Rams average 244 rushing yards per game behind Derrell Scott, who has 1,424 yards and 16 touchdowns on the season. Quarterback Travis Sabdo has thrown for 1,698 yards with 24 touchdowns, 11 to Matthew Boykin.
Havelock and Topsail have two common opponents. The Pirates lost 19-6 to White Oak and 35-0 to Jacksonville, while Havelock beat White Oak 54-0 and beat Jacksonville 42-0.
The winner of Friday�s game advances to play either No. 8 seed Southern Guilford (6-5) or No. 9 Anson (5-6). But Bryant said the Rams can�t look ahead to the second round.
�They know we�ve got to play one game at a time,� he said of his players. �If you play a bad game and get beat, you don�t get a chance to make that up the next week. You lose, you�re out. It�s win and advance or lose and go home. They know that and the coaches know that.�
And, Bryant knows that as the two-time defending champions and top playoff seed, the Rams will get every opponent�s best effort.
�That�s what we wanted. We�re the No. 1 seed,� he said. �We�re everybody�s state championship game. That�s the position we put ourselves in, so we�re going to relish that role.�
Bryant said it was good knowing that as long as the Rams win, they�ll play at Havelock through the eastern regional championship game.
�What we tell our seniors is that we want their Senior Night to be the eastern finals every year,� he said. �That means we�ve made it to the eastern finals and we�ve gotten the chance to play the eastern finals at home.�
Tickets for the game are $7, and no regular-season passes are accepted for admission per N.C. High School Athletic Association rules.

"It's great to talk about big picture issues," she said. "What I hear about when I campaign, however, are these types of local issues."
Some of the ideas include an investment in solar and wind energy, traffic calming measures, an increase in street level recycling bins and increased bus services and accessibility to subways.
One way that Serpe suggests tackling the issues is by giving the power to the constituents. In her 22 ideas she calls for participatory budgeting, which would allocate funding to projects that residents vote on.
Another idea is bringing the "Greenest Block" competition to the district. Under this proposal business and residents will work together to maintain the green elements of their blocks in an attempt to beautify the neighborhood.
"I think what people want are clean and green streets," she said. "If you have a tree pit filled with weeds, people will throw their trash there."
Serpe will highlight one issue over the course of 22 days on her campaign website.
"In time of government shutdown over stupid partisan bickering, I think people really are open to the idea of a third party in a way that they haven't been in the past," Serpe said. "One of the advantages of not being part of the political machine is that I'm not worried about currying favor with party bosses."

Pike County Extension expert gives advice on choosing toys
Leanne Spengler, Pike County Extension human development specialist, explains that play is often described as the work of children, and they need tools for the job.
Even children who lack commercially produced toys will find playthings such as fingers and toes, pots and pans, and hills and trees.
The national average for the number of toys a child receives during a gift-giving occasion is about 12. Most children are satisfied with three or four new toys. If a child receives too many new toys at once, he may become overwhelmed in deciding what toy to play with.

Actual colors may vary from those shown due to the nature of photographing and monitor color settings. We recommend dry cleaning only. Old and antique kilim? We would like to introduce our old (more than 30 years) and antique (more than 100 years) kilims to you. These popular items had been once used carefully in home life. Kilims lost its luster with everyday use, which makes its texture unique and attractive one. That is why these old and antique kilims are popular as well as new kilims. Actually, there are many ardent collectors of old and antique kilims in the world. We authenticate all our items?Eproducing date, area, and dyes with well-experienced experts, so we are sure of quality of them and offer you in confidence. What is Kilim Kilim means a plain-weave woolen textile in Turkish, and had been produced by nomads. Interweaving the warp spread with the weft is its basic process and its texture is plain unlike the length of pile on carpets. It was the necessities of life and its history is older than carpet's. As you know, nomads moved with its house and animals from place to place, so a foldable, wieldy kilim might be a handy item for them. Although kilims are mainly made by wool, some of them are made by goats?Efur, camels?Ehair, and cotton. Poisonous insects such as a scorpion and a centipede don't like a smell and texture of kilim. So nomads could avoid these insects by spreading kilim in their tents. In Turkey, there are people who live like nomads during summer. They, in fact, live with kilims now. Not only as lugs, were kilims made as bags. Some can be used as the bag to keep foods or carrying like a rucksack. Due to its convenience, kilims have been used in various ways like what is now called multi-cover. Many Asian countries (mainly the West and Central Asia) have been produced interesting kilims. Each area has characteristics and different designs. After Care Kilim With appropriate maintenance, you can use kilims and carpets for many decades. You don't need to be so nervous using kilims basically. There are a few cases (color fading and cloth shrinking), so please be a little careful to avoid such cases.Although we described it in exaggerated way first, everyday maintenance of kilim is very easy. You can clean your kilim with a vacuum cleaner. Patting it occasionally outside is also fine to brush the dust off. When you want to dry your kilim, keep it in the shade. Don't leave it in the sun for many hours. Concerning cleaning of kilim, If you wash kilim yourself, rub it with a wet-cloth or a wet-tissue paper at first and make sure of its colorfastness. Use a wool detergent or a shampoo on a plain surface. After spin-drying, smooth out a crumpled piece of kilim, and dry it on a place surface in the shade. If your kilim fades, take it to laundry and tell its fading for a cleaner.

Unlike many preworkout supplements, AMPED Nitro contains no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. It is Informed-Sport certified providing assurance that the product has been tested for a wide range of substances prohibited in sports performance.
Nitrosigine®§§ and L-citrulline help with increased blood flow, mental focus, and pump.* Creatine and betaine support increased muscle mass, power, strength, and cell hydration.* Beta-alanine, taurine, and naturally sourced caffeine support increased energy, alertness, and stamina. *
Beta-alanine helps create a buffer in muscles to decrease the buildup of lactic acid and helps reduce fatigue.* Taurine assists with decreasing exercise-related muscle damage and oxidative stress. * And, creatine helps prime muscles for improved postworkout recovery, decreasing down time after strenuous workouts.* For maximum recovery benefit, pair with AMPED Recover postworkout. *
"I've used pretty much a whole canister, and I love it. It gives me a third gear, or overdrive, for later in my workout when it's GO TIME on a max rep set."
"I love this stuff!! The flavor, the mental clarity, I'm finding that I can do more reps/weight. I can feel my muscles working and developing. I also love the simplification of this product; rather than mixing a few products together, Nitro does the trick!"
"So excited about the convenience of caffeine plus creatine and Nitrosigine!"
"AMPED Nitro. The name says it all! I gave this product a solid week of use before giving a review. Isagenix hit a home run with this one! I'm stoked that we now have a preworkout supplement that has "kick" and focus making you want to hammer your workout!"
The possibility of substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in sports supplements is surprisingly high. Researchers estimate that somewhere between 3-25 percent of sports products contain traces of banned substances that are not present on the label.*

Exclusive: Yuji Naka's New Bird
May 5, 2010 Page 1 of 3
Yuji Naka will always be known as one of the original creators of Sonic the Hedgehog, but his Japanese-headquartered independent development studio Prope (Let's Tap), which he founded after leaving Sega in 2006, continues to create new games.
The company's newest release is a DS, Wii, and Windows Mobile title called Ivy the Kiwi?. This week, XSEED announced it is publishing the game in the U.S. for the two Nintendo platforms.
Gamasutra got a chance to speak to Naka about the inspiration behind Ivy, the current state of Prope, and gauge Naka's thoughts on the current state of the character action genre he helped popularize -- including an update on the state of Prope's "Sonic-like" platform game.
Namco Bandai published this game in Japan, but XSEED is publishing it in the U.S. How do you feel working with a U.S.-based publisher for the international version? How's the relationship, and do they "get" your game?
Yuji Naka: This is our first time working with XSEED, but I think we're developing a nice relationship. Their response time is very fast, and they have a good understanding of what the game is about. It was actually XSEED's suggestion to make the graphics more colorful for the U.S. version.
What's it like working with external publishers? You were at Sega for so long.
YN: Since departing from Sega, I've been talking to a lot of publishers, and I'm very surprised on how differently each publisher thinks about what games are, and the strategies behind them. It's been very refreshing, and I'm learning so much from it.
You've been focusing on smaller games lately, compared to the blockbusters of your Sega career. Can you talk about why?
YN: That's just simply because Prope is a lot smaller company than Sega (laughs). Of course, blockbuster titles are fun to work on, but the fun essence of a game doesn't equal the size of the game.
Compared to the days of Sega, I am now more involved in the smaller aspects of the game, so I can really mold the game the way I want to which is a lot of fun.
By the way, currently Prope has around 40 employees, and we are working on a title that is a little larger in scope than Ivy the Kiwi? at the moment.
Now that Prope has been around for some time, do you feel like things are going in the direction you had hoped for the company? Are you where you planned to be right now?
YN: This also applied to Sonic Team, but Prope has a very at-home type atmosphere where all team members work as one to create a game. We are very fortunate to have a lot of very talented staff members, and I believe our current situation is looking very good.
Where did the idea for Ivy the Kiwi? come from?
YN: Originally, a few of our young employees were working on the idea as an experiment. I really felt some great potential in the concept as a game so we decided to make it as a company project and it evolved into Ivy the Kiwi?
The player interaction with the world in Ivy is pretty simple. How do you keep it interesting in the long term?
YN: Ivy the Kiwi?'s controls are indeed very simple -- however, it is not an easy game. Once you play the game you'll understand that you won't be able to control Ivy as you want to. As you play though you'll find out that little by little you'll be able to control her more freely, and by the end you'll be able to perform some very sophisticated movements.
Ivy the Kiwi? has a wide range of skills that can be improved upon by the player. In the beginning it will be difficult just to reach the goal, but then you'll start wanting to collect all the feathers, and afterwards time trials will start and you'll want to complete stages faster to obtain better medals. (The time in which a stage was completed is only shown when all feathers for that level have been collected).
I think I was able to create the most ideal "simple but deep" game with Ivy the Kiwi?, which is what everyone aims for when creating a game.
