Origin of Surname
This name started as a medieval personal name, derived from the latin Laurentius, meaning victorious.The idea of the laurel as a symbol of victory was probably the principal reason for the popularity of the name. Among Christians it became a favourite name through St Laurence, Archdeacon of
There is only one example of the name in the Domesday Book of 1086. However, a century later, the name became popular, leading to modern surnames ranging from Laurance, Lawrence and Lorence, to Laurens and Lorenz.
The first record of the name is that of Magister Laurentius, a cleric, which was dated circa 1150, in "Episcopal Records of Glasgow", Scotland, during the reign of King David 1
It is a very common name in Normandy today, spelt Laurent, but we have renamed this page to reflect the much more usual Jersey spelling of Laurens.
Early records
The name appears as Laurens in the Extente of 1528 and Brice, Guillemyne and Johan appear in the Jersey Chantry Certificate of 1550. Although there is a record of Lauerneys in 1340, it is not certain that this is a variant and the dates of other records suggest that despite the naming of one of Jersey's parishes as St Laurent (now St Lawrence), the family name did not arrive in Jersey until the 16th century, suggesting that perhaps it did originate in England.
The first baptism in the registers is from 1597, but the following earlier record is known
Jean Laurens was born in St Lawrence about 1540 and died there in 1615. He married Rauline Le Bas and they had a son Elie, who married a Miss Le Boutillier in 1595. Elie and his wife had a son Jean in about 1600, who married Jeanne Le Gallois.

Porsche Aims To Clean Up Aero With Active Rear Diffuser Patent Porsche Aims To Clean Up Aero With Active Rear Diffuser Patent product 2017-04-27 19:00:02 https://www.motor1.com/news/143892/porsche-active-rear-diffuser-patent/ Porsche Technology, patent The company even outlines a way to use this tech on future EVs. Many of Porsche's models already feature active deploying rear wings, and a new patent suggests that a similarly functioning diffuser could arrive on future vehicles. Porsche initially filed for this on September 27, 2016, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office published it on April 27, 2017. According to Porsche's filing, active diffusers underneath a vehicle already exist, but they are "highly cumbersome with regard to installation and integration in the underbody region." Where the company's new design differs is that the diffuser would move to being directly below the bumper. It would even have a concave inner shape so that the aero element would blend into the body when not in use. When active, the extended diffuser would effectively direct the air along an elongated section of the tail for tweaking the vehicle's aerodynamics. Depending on the layout, Porsche imagines that there could be multiple flaps along the rear of the vehicle, and they might function independently. "The embodiment that runs over the entire width of the rear end may be implemented, for example, in vehicles without exhaust-gas tailpipes, such as electric vehicles," the company's filing said. Porsche's newly patented tech is somewhat similar to the Aereodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA) active aerodynamic system on the Huracán Performante . In that case, there is a flap in the front fascia and a second near the rear wing. The elements can adjust for low drag and high downforce layouts, and they can even also focus traction over the inner wheels during cornering.

Valencia has the reputation of being a city that offers many recreational possibilities to young people without having to spend much money. In fact, the regional newspaper Las Provincias came to talk about the phenomenon 'antibotellon' due to the large number of affordable local places that you can go with friends. One of the articles points to the 'quintos' route, which is an important part of the Valencia city bars.
The 'quintos' route in the capital of Turia refers to all those bars that have attractive offers for racks of beer bottles (popularly known as fifth). These establishments have the uniqueness of being positioned in the surrounding streets towards Vicente Blasco Ibáñez Avenue, which are also close to some of the main university campuses (Geography and History, Medicine, Philology ...). Thus, in the evening, there are hundreds of young people starting to appear in the area, especially during the academic year.

As I've stated before, I wanted to build the smallest boat that would work for my intended sailing, and for me the Tiki 26 is it. A Tiki 30 would have more interior room in the cabins, but at the expense of much more time and cost to build, as well as more difficulty hauling out and demounting for trailering. Sitting headroom in the cabins is all you can expect on any of the Tiki designs short of 38 feet, and the Tiki 26 has this. What I wanted was a bit more elbow room inside as I am 6'2", and one way I saw to accomplish this was to build a "raised deck" version that would allow me to also raise the bunk levels a corresponding amount to gain a bit more width there due to the flare in the V-hulls. One famous Wharram catamaran that was modified to an even greater extent to gain more interior room is Rory McDougall's Tiki 21 Cooking Fat, which he sailed around the world. The extra volume created by the raised decks contributed a lot to the ability of such a small catamaran to handle the conditions of the open ocean, adding reserve buoyancy where it was needed.
Although I did some sketches and even built a rough model before I began building the boat, I knew I wouldn't be able to determine for sure how the raised deck modification would work out until I had a hull built. I left my options open by cutting the cabin bulkheads separately and leaving extra material above the sheer on the installed bulkheads. I went ahead and raised the bunk levels by 3 inches, knowing that I could make this up in the raised deck or if I changed my mind, by simply raising the cabin tops 3 inches, which many Tiki 26 builders have done. Since I've been away from the boat for awhile in Florida, thoughts of these modifications were weighing on my mind quite a bit and I decided yesterday to go ahead and start working out the details to see if it's going to work.
The first step was to cut the extra bulkhead material above the sheer level to a slight inboard angle, so that the new side deck panels will be cambered in by a few degrees. I then made up some Doug fir stringers 1 3/4" by 3/4", the same dimensions as the other stringers in the hull, and sprung these in place against the bulkheads to get a fair curve. Maximum height above the sheer is 3 and 3/4", decreasing to 2" forward at bulkhead 6 and aft at bulkhead 1. The raised deck section will begin with the this 2" bump in height just behind the front crossbeam, so that the transition will not be noticeable. It will end 4 feet aft of the cabin at bulkhead 1, where it will blend into the rear trampoline beam I will be installing there. The new stringers for this raised deck panel will be on the inside top edge of the panel, let in flush with the cambered edges of the bulkheads. The decks themselves will have the same camber as in the plans, and the cabin bulkheads will follow the design lines, beginning at the top edge of the raised deck sheer. The mast and aft beams will fit in their chocks atop this raised section forward and aft of the cabins, with all loads transferred to the reinforced hull sections below at the true sheer. Beam lashing chocks will be located below the hull sheer as designed.
Although I'm not ready to begin permanently building these raised decks just yet, I've mocked it up with stringers clamped into place and the cabin bulkheads clamped above them. It's hard to visualize the appearance of the decks from these photos, since the tops of the forward bulkheads are still straight and do not show the graceful deck camber that will be there, but you can see the lines of the raised deck section at the outside.
This is a view at the stern showing how the section will terminate at bulkhead one behind the cabin. A rear trampoline beam will be mounted on the lower section just aft of the transition.

New Delhi: CPI(M) would use "all options" available in the rules of business in Parliament to thwart government`s attempts to implement FDI in retail, even as it welcomed the decision to hold debate on the issue in both Houses under rules entailing voting, a top leader said on Thursday.
"We will utilise all available options under the Rules of Business to ensure that this (decision on FDI in retail) is not implemented... We`ll use all procedures to stall it," senior CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury told reporters here.
Referring to the recent RBI amendments in FEMA to allow FDI in multi-brand retail, he said these would have to be voted within a time-frame as laid down in the Foreign Exchange Management (FEMA) Act itself.
"So, due to its obduracy, the government has agreed to have a vote on the issue twice" -- once when the FDI issue comes up for vote after a debate and the second time after the RBI amendments are tabled in Parliament to amend FEMA to allow FDI in retail.
Welcoming the decision for holding a debate followed by voting, Yechury said four days of the Winter Session would not have been wasted if the government had agreed to the Opposition demand on the first day itself.
Regarding the tabling of RBI`s FEMA amendments, he said Sections 47 and 48 of FEMA say that once these amendments are made, they have to be placed before both the Houses as soon as possible.
"The convention is that they should be placed before the 15th sitting of the first session after the amendments are made. That means by December 13. Once these are tabled, they have to be disposed of through voting within 30 days."
While the amendments to FEMA would have to be tabled in this session, they would have to be taken up in the next (Budget) session next year, he said.
Maintaining that the government "cannot escape" from bringing these amendments to vote, he said "once tabled, any member of either House can move amendments to the RBI amendment and even move for the annulment of the RBI amendment within 30 days.
"Any such amendments would have to be considered by the House and decided upon. This can happen only through a vote."
In an editorial for the forthcoming issue of party organ `People`s Democracy`, Yechury said the decision to permit FDI in retail trade can only be taken by the legislature (Parliament) and "the authority to do so is beyond the mandate of the executive as decreed by our Constitution."
He said all efforts by the government "to bypass, subvert or sabotage this process cannot be allowed to succeed."
However, the CPI(M) leader pointed out that the Congress has "repeatedly in the past displayed its capacity to manoeuvre a majority by hook or crook."
He said in 1993, the minority Congress government facing a CPI(M)-sponsored No Confidence motion managed to defeat it by such methods that were exposed by the infamous Jharkhand bribery case.
He added, "In 2008, when Left parties withdrew their outside support to UPA-I government in opposition to the Indo-US nuclear deal, reducing the government into a minority, "they won the vote through shameless horse-trading which was exposed in the `cash for votes` scam."
"It will not be too long before the deals behind the current mustering of majority will be exposed before the nation," Yechury added.

(week of Oct 5 - 11)
The Day is Done
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The day is done and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight.
I see the lights of the village
Gleam through the rain and the mist,
And a feeling of sorrow comes o'er me
That my soul cannot resist.
A feeling of sadness and longing
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read to me some poem,
Some simple, heartfelt lay
That will soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime
Whose distant footsteps echo
Along the corridors of time.
For, like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toil and endeavor
And tonight I long for rest.
Read from some humbler poet
Whose song gushed from his heart
Like rain from the clouds of summer
Or tears from the eyelids start,
Who, through long days of labor
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies.
Such songs have the power to quiet
The restless pulse of care
And come like a benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night will be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Will fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.
(week of Oct 12 - 18)
Wild Swans
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
I looked in my heart while the wild swans went over
And what did I see I had not seen before?
Only a question less or a question more;
Nothing to match the flight of wild birds flying.
Tiresome heart, forever living and dying,
House without air, I leave you and lock the door.
Wild swans, come over the town, come over
The town again, trailing your legs and crying!
(week of Oct 19 -25)
Stepping Westward
by Denise Levertov
What is green in me
darkens, muscadine.
If woman is inconstant,
good, I am faithful to
ebb and flow, I fall
in season and now
is a time of ripening.
If her part
is to be true,
a north star,
good, I hold steady
in the black sky
and vanish by day,
yet burn there
in blue or above
quilts of cloud.
There is not savor
more sweet, more salt
than to be glad to be
what, woman,
and who, myself,
I am, a shadow
that grows longer as the sun
moves, drawn out
on a thread of wonder.
If I bear burdens
they begin to be remembered
as gifts, goods, a basket
of bread that hurts
my shoulders but closes me
in fragrance. I can
eat as I go.

Kurhaus Trifels - History
Kurhaus Trifels has an amazing history which dates back more than one hundred years ago to the beginning of the 20th century. Read here how it all began.
A Recreation Home for the Town of Ludwigshafen...
If you take a look at the picture above, you'll see the panorama of Annweiler's three castles Trifels, Anebos and Münz how it was represented on a postal card around one hundred years ago. The observer is standing in the valley of Bindersbach, at the point where Kurhaus Trifels is situated today, to be precise. (And attentive observer might notice that Trifels castle on the left looks much smaller than today. That's because there were just ruins left one hundred years ago before the castle had been rebuilt during the time of Nazi Germany.)
We find ourselves in the year 1907. The town of Ludwigshafen celebrates its 50th anniversary and decides for the occasion to have a recreation home built for teachers and public servants. The town's retirement fund was cash-positive at the time (which certainly wouldn't be the case nowadays) and the excess money should be used to pay the building works. Tax officer Georg Lux was entrusted with finding a nice location for this project. He found the perfect place here in the dreamily romantic valley of Bindersbach. The gorgeous panorama and the peaceful quietness made the point.
5th of July 1911: The opening of Kurhaus Trifels
The recreation home had been built following the most modern standards of the time. When the building works were finished in 1911, it was extraordinarily luxurious with electric light, bathrooms even on the upper floors, and even a bowling alley in a separate building. Looking at the historic advertising might give us a chuckle today (electric light, really?) but at the time that was extremely impressive.
Am 5. Juli 1911 wurde zur Eröffnung des Kurhaus Trifels ein großes Fest gefeiert. Mehr als 500 geladene Gäste reisten an, darunter viele prominente Persönlichkeiten.
Tumultuous Years
The twenty century brought two world wars with it, which did not leave Kurhaus Trifels uneffected. When the First World War started in 1914, the house was temporarily converted into a battlefield hospital for minor casualties - only three years after the grandiose opening as a recreation home.
During the Second World War, the premises were also needed for other purposes than recreation: The hospital of Annweiler had been strongly damaged when hit by a bomb, and replacement was needed. So the town of Ludwigshafen agreed to have their building used as an emergency hospital from 1944 to 1951.
5th of July 2011: 100-year Anniversary and A New Beginning
After almost one hundred years of ever-changing history, the house was vacant for a while. The Nouveau-Art building which had been listed as historic and worthy of protection in the meantime, was in need of extensive renovations. An idea was needed - a vision of what the future of the house should look like.
That is how the idea of a place for scientific meetings developed: Inside these old walls, new ideas should take form. A space for ideas should be created, where scientists from different universities could come together for interdisciplinary discussions. The premises have been renovated and equipped with modern conference technology. An association has been founded to support this new purpose - the association "Verein Begegnunszentrum Kurhaus Trifels e.V." - and many of the nearest universities became members.
On the 5th of July 2011 - at the day of its 100th anniversary, the re-opening of Kurhaus Trifels as a place for scientific meetings was celebrated. Like exactly one hundred years before, famous guests from political, economical and scientific circles came to the party.
Kurhaus Trifels has since established itself as a conference hotel and meeting place for scientific events. Wonderful things happen in these premises: People come here to meet, to do research, to teach and to learn - in the loveliest atmosphere and supported by our experienced team. Our guests are companies, universities, non-profit organisations and private guests. And another thing soon became clear: Kurhaus Trifels is not only a wonderful location for business and scientific meetings, but also for parties and really good food. So we organise birthdays, family reunions and wedding parties. The restaurant under head chef Moritz Sommer serves a fresh, modern and creative cuisine.

And the other shoe has now fallen....
The governor isn't impressed and immediately called it a plan she cannot support.
So now the negotiations start.
Negotiating the state budget last year didn't go well, and wasn't completed by the time the session's official end came. This year's session is schedule to conclude on May 7. That gives lawmakers and the governor a full month to come to a compromise. The one difference this year, however, is that it's an election year for the legislature....and it's doubtful they'll want to spend a lot of time in Hartford this summer trying to reach an agreement...and certainly want to avoid any protracted battles that might come back to hurt them during the fall campaign.
On another note, I'm off to South Carolina for a few days -- a family thing, not business. I'll be back Tuesday.

Title: Strangers With Candy (2005)
Dir: Paul Dinello
Rating: *** out of 5 stars
I am a huge fan of the show, Strangers With Candy. That love alone earned this film the extra half-star on its rating. Unfortunately, the movie is kinda disappointing.
In this prequel, Amy Sedaris reprises her role as Jerri Blank, the middle-aged former junkie whore who returns to high school. Though inconsistent with the television series, the movie explains Jerri's "origin" story. Not her childhood (that would've been neat) but her life during and after prison. When she returns home, she discovers her daddy in a coma. In an effort to wake him up, Jerri tries to become a better person by returning to high school and subsequently winning a science fair.
Long-time Sedaris collaborators Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello also reprise their roles as Jerri's self-centered teachers, Chuck Noblet and Geoffrey Jellineck. Their secret, gay relationship becomes strained as Chuck dumps Geoffrey, who then joins forces with Chuck's nemesis (Matthew Broderick). And the wonderful Greg Holliman is back as Principal Blackman. There are a few unfortunate but understandable replacements - namely, Derek and Orlando. The film also boasts big-names like Sarah Jessica Parker, Allison Janney, Phillip Seymore Hoffman, Ian Holm, and Dan Hedaya.
Candy is enjoyable for any fan of the series because who doesn't love seeing their favorite characters return? But don't expect it to be nearly as good as the show - it isn't. Many jokes are recycled, which I understand (need to appeal to newbies) but it's still disappointing. The movie is like one of the show's weaker episodes, only three times as long.
There are quite a few inconsistencies, as well. Much of Jerri's backstory is changed, her daddy is different, Chuck is now a science teacher, and other little things. I can look passed them because I understand the need to draw new fans and make the story more concise, but some hard-headed fans might not be so tolerant.
The film's biggest problem, and biggest deviation from the show, is the format. SWC worked great as a series because it followed the format of short, after-school specials. Each episode was based around a new moral dilemma for Jerri and almost always ended with Jerri not learning her lesson. It was a great parody of those after-school programs. But as a film, SWC is forced to maintain a conhesive plot for almost two hours. And then it tries to be a genuine high school film. This absolutely does not work (Thank you, Alex, for helping me pinpoint this problem).
I'm really not sure if non-fans of the show would like this movie. If they did, they'd surely like the show a LOT more. The film is most appropriate for existing fans of SWC. Even though the film wasn't as funny as it could've been, I'd still love to see them make another one. I just love watching these characters, and I love it when Amy, Paul, and Stephen collaborate. If only they'd ressurect the series...I know, not a chance. Sigh.

Andrew's Pitchfork, otherwise known as median line studies utilizes the concepts of support, resistance, and retracements (see: Support & Resistance). As is visually depicted below, Andrew's Pitchfork consists of:
- Handle
- Resistance Trendline "tine"
- Median Line
- Support Trendline "tine"
Steps to creating a Pitchfork
- Find a significant pivot or retracement (in the chart above, the lower left corner)
- Find the next significant pivot or retracement (the dotted blue line connects the first pivot to this second pivot)
- Find the next retracement (in the chart above, the solid blue line starting from the left and going down to the right)
Charting software finishes the pitchfork by creating the upper resistance "tine", the lower support "tine", and the median line. Note: "tine" is the terminology used by the creator of Andrew's Pitchfork, Dr. Alan Andrews.
Interpreting Andrew's Pitchfork
The same rules for support and resistance apply to Andrew's Pitchfork. Look to buy at support and look to sell at resistance (see: Support & Resistance). Also, prices are thought to gravitate towards the median line as depicted in the chart above of the S&P 500 exchange traded fund. The chart above shows the long-term view (1 year 6 months) of the stock market; however, Andrew's Pitchfork can be used for shorter time frames.

It's almost September which means we're coming to my favourite time of the year: Oscar Season! Well, maybe's it not that time yet but certainly once we get in to the fall, the studios unleash their big guns, the films which they feel have the best chance at claiming Oscar Gold. I'm going to talk about some of the films coming out in the fall, along with films released earlier this year, in no particular order, and theorize about their Oscar chances.
J. Edgar- Clint Eastwood's biopic about the infamous head of the F.B.I, J. Edgar Hoover, is one of those films which has all the markings of an Oscar contender. It has the prestigious director, Eastwood, the leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio, diving in to the role of a real person. It's also written by the Oscar winning writer of Milk, Dustin Lance Black. I felt DiCaprio should have been nominated for Shutter Island last year and I feel he has a pretty good chance of taking the gold this year, possibly being the one to beat. Arnie Hammer, who broke out last year as th Winklevoss twins in The Social Network, plays the assistant director of the F.B.I. and rumoured lover of Hoover. I don't how much the film will delve in to Hoover's supposed homosexuality but I think Hammer will get some plum scenes with DiCaprio and may have a good chance of receiving a Best Supporting Actor nomination. Naomi Watts also stars as Hoover's secretary, Helen Gandy. Like Hammer, she's probably has ample screen time with DiCaprio and if the Best Supporting Actress race doesn't get too croweded, I can definitely see her getting a nomination. It'll be interesting to see if this is Eastwood's Oscar comeback. While Changeling and Invictus scored nominations for its actors, an Eastwood has received a Best Picture or Best Director nomination since 2006's Letters From Iwo Jima. I feel his time away from the Best Director category was a good thing, for this film at least, and a nomination this year for both him and the film, for now at least, seems like a good bet. Black also seems to have a good chance of getting a screenwriting nomination.
The Help- Controversy will get you noticed in the Oscar race but it can also hurt your chances. The Help seems like the type of film the academy loves. It deals with an important social issue, which is the treatment of black maids in 1960s Mississippi and the plight of two maids, played by Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, as well as a young white woman named Skeeter, played by Emma Stone, to reveal the truth about these conditions in a book. It's a period piece, and from the reviews it sounds like an acting showcase, and by a nearly all female cast to boot. Unfortunately, the film has been criticized for distorting historical fact as well as falling prey to the "white saviour" model of storytelling, where a story about African Americans is told through the perspective of a white character who ultimately saves the black characters. On the other hand, I've also read things which say it is the story of the black maids more than it is about Skeeter. The controversy could hurt the film but I think it's main problem will be retaining momentum through the fall season. From the praise Davis has been getting, I think she may be close to a lock for a Best Supporting Actress nomination, or as some have been saying, a Best Actress nomination. It all depends on the campaigning. Spencer's performance has also been praised and I can both her and Davis in the Best Supporting Actress category. Stone's chances seem up in the air at the moment. She's Hollywood's new "It Girl" and seems well liked in the community, which could definitely push her in to the Best Actress category. Again, it all depends on campaigning. Some have even suggested her for the Best Supporting Actress category, where she could compete with Spencer. Davis could take a Best Actress slot. Hey, let's go even further and put Davis and Spencer both in the Best Actress race and have Stone compete with Bryce Dallas Howard or Jessica Chastain. Sorry, that's getting pretty complicated. I do have a feeling Spencer will be supporting either way. Also, in a reply tweet from Entertainment Weekly's Dave Karger, he told me the academy would probably focus more on Davis and Spencer than Stone. Maybe not getting a nomination will be the best thing for Stone since she's already been a little bit too overexposed. Tate Taylor, close friend of Kathryn Stockett, the author of the novel on which the novel is based, may not be a name people know well enough to get a best director nomination; most of the praise has been going to the actresses. A lack of a best director nomination could also hurt it's chances at a nomination for Best Picture. Again, I think it needs to keep its momentum through the season.
The Tree of Life- The film that caused a 100 walkouts, thanks to some dinosaurs and the creation of the universe. The Tree of Life's buzz seems to have died down but I think a film like this, once seen, is hard ro forget. If it gets a campaign push when it comes to DVD and Blu-Ray, I think this film, due largely to its ambition, as well the the legendary status of director Terrence Malick can get a Best Picture nomination. Winning is another matter. The Tree of Life, which juxtaposes the life a 1950s family with a sequence where we see the creation of the universe, is an impressionistic film, one which abandons a linear narrative structure and a clear cut ending. The film is a divider and that hurt its chances winning Best Picture. I think Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain are terrific as Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien but due to the impressionistic style of the film, their performances may be overlooked. The cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezski and original score by a Alexandre Desplat who was just nominated for The King's Speech also have solid chances of getting nominations. I also feel the editing, which is the core of the film's aesthetic, also has a good chance of being noticed.
Midnight in Paris- Director Woody Allen's ode to romantic nostaligia has been called his best film in ages. I really liked the film but I feel it's too small a film to get a Best Picture nomination. It's best chance is probably in the Best Original Screenplay category where they may even decide to honour him for the film. Owen Wilson gives what may be his best performance here but I don't think it's the kind of role which can lead to a nomination.
Drive- Ryan Gosling, who some feel was snubbed for last year's Blue Valentine, which resulted in a Best Actress nomination for Michelle Williams, has gotten some serious buzz for his performance as a Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a wheelman. The film is supposed to be excellent and it'll be interesting to see if the academy warms to it.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo- Already being marketed as "The Feel Bad Movie of Christmas," David Fincher's take on the international bestseller will rise and fall, I think on the performance of Rooney Mara as computer hacker Lisbeth Salander. Mara played Mark Zuckerberg's girlfriend in Fincher's last film The Social Network and he clearly saw something in her while they were filming and during the audition process which led Fincher to pick her over more established actresses. If Mara hits it out of the park, I think she'll have a great chance at securing a nomination. I don't know if Daniel Craig's role, despite being the lead, will be baity enough to get a nomination but only time will tell. Those who've read the novel know this is dark and gruesome material and fortunately the academy can embrace movies like this, with Black Swan being nominated this year and The Silence of the Lambs winning Best Picture nearly twenty years ago. Many feel Fincher was robbed this year for The Social Network so there is the possibility he may recieve a make-up Oscar this year.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close- Based on a novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, this film chronicles the story of nine year old Oskar, whose father died two years earlier on 9/11. He discovers a key which belonged to his father and proceeds to journey around New York to find information about the key. The film will concede with the 10 Anniversary of the attacks, which add to its emotional poignance. The academy also seems to love its director, Stephen Daldry, so I can see this possibly being a contender if its subject matter, which from what I gather exists in heightened reality, can work on film. It's been a while since Tom Hanks was nominated for an Oscar but I don't know if his role as Oskar's father will be his return to the race. It all depends on how the film is received and whether the role is fleshed out enough.
The Ides of March- George Clooney received a Best Director Nomination for his work on Good Night, and Good Luck and I can see him getting another Best Director nomination for this political drama about a staffer (Ryan Gosling), learning about politics while on the campaign trail for a presidential candidate, played by Clooney. If the role is meaty enough, Clooney could also score a nomination or either Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor. It depends how Clooney is campaigned. I wonder if Gosling will be pushed for this film instead of Drive. I sense that Gosling is the lead and Clooney is supporting. Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti could also score nominations if their roles are big enough, though it'll probably be Clooney who gets the push.
My Week With Marilyn- Michelle Williams could score two consecutive Best Actress nominations if she's nominated for playing Marilyn Monroe in this film. It seems like the kind of role Oscar would love to nominate. Kenneth Branagh plays Laurence Olivier but I feel much of the attention will go to Williams. Emma Watson also stars but I believe her role is small so while it's not hard to see Watson getting a nomination some time down the road, it probably won't be for this film.
That's all for now. Certainly there are quite a few more films to talk about but I just wanted to touch on a few possible contenders. Hopefully the race this year will have some actual suspense and excitement.

The aim of this thesis is to develop a multifaceted model by which one can engage with cross-cultural acts of reading in a meaningful way and to provide a sample of quite diverse works of world literature in translation to show the model's flexibility. My methodology combines reception studies (Wolfgang Iser, Hans-Robert Jauss and Peter Rabinowitz) with polysystem theory (Itamar Even-Zohar) and rhetorical hermeneutics (Steven Mailloux). The foundations of meaning are negotiated in a complex interpretive process that involves an act of sense making (understanding) and an act of making-sense-to-others (persuading). Like meaning, authority and authenticity do not reside at one site ("the original" or "the author") but are distributed among various agents participating in the production and positioning of a literary text. The model developed in chapters 1 and 2 takes into account the text's location in its producing culture and the agents' location in theirs.

Scully's pregnancy has been a cold affair since it was introduced at the end of last season, kept on the back-burner presumably to give Doggett's introduction some breathing room. Per Manum is really the first episode to push her story center stage, and it winds up being one of the more successful mythology hours. It goes without saying that these types of X-File turn out stronger when they directly involve characters we love, and Scully gets pulled through the ringer here. Gillian Anderson is always great, but I especially enjoyed seeing Scully working the case through the vacuum of her inner denial, verbally reacting to things as an FBI agent while internally breaking down over her own personal involvement in the case.
Mulder makes another re-appearance, again in flashbacks, though they're less detached than the ones in The Gift. Kim Manners intriguingly shifts from past to present day with gorgeous scene overlaps, while Mulder and Scully's relationship is engagingly intimate. Scully's desire for a child is moving, equally Mulder's without-question decision to father her baby. And then there's that additional game-changer, where we discover the artificial insemination didn't take. Was her pregnancy a genuine miracle? Or something else? It's another layer of intrigue.
There's also something visually arresting about the sterile labs of Scully's hospital, like something out of Gattaca. Finally, Doggett is proving to be a strong partner to Scully. He appears visibly hurt when she essentially withdraws herself from his life, while all the while continuing to help her out behind her back. They just make an interesting pair.
This was a strong episode, working like a tightly-scripted thriller while really thrusting the individual character beats and emotions center stage. I should also add that I apologize if this review reads like a collection of notes rather than something truly well-written, but any long-term readers (who deserve a damn medal if they're still reading these things) will know that I struggle to be articulate with this show, as entertaining as it is most of the time.

Winter Solstice begins on December 21, 2015. Welcome the change of season with open arms by taking time to enjoy the new weather. Buy a new coat, scarf, gloves and boots. Get yourself all made up and go play outside. As a child, cold weather never kept me inside. There was too much fun waiting for me outside. Invite friends over for dinner and then start your outside fire pit and roast marshmallows while drinking some really great tasting coffee. Build a snowman and dress him nice. Stand in the falling snow and really examine the snowflakes and you will see no two are alike. Cut your own Christmas Tree and take it home and dress it nice. Put on your raincoat and dance in the pouring rain. Take a walk outside in an area with a beautiful view and breathe in the crisp cold air. And after being outside and giving thanks for the beauty of the season, get warm inside with your favorite drink, blanket and watch a really good movie. The moral of this brief story is to appreciate this wonderful Winter season in any way you feel you can.
Wishing you all a beautiful Winter season filled with magic and wonders to remember for a lifetime. ~ Kathyann.

I recently made my second trip to speak at the European Parliament. Last year I spoke in Brussels to a committee on international development about the benefits of sound money for developing countries. This year I spoke in Strasbourg, France as part of a panel of three Austrian School economists, representing the Right Approach Group, which seeks market solutions to current economic problems. Now, just consider these first two lines. Yes, the European Parliament, which is just one branch of the many-tentacled European Government, has two offices—one in Brussels and one in Strasbourg. This fact alone illustrates why the organization is unpopular with the European taxpayer—it spends too much money on itself.
Last year I was wowed by the size and beauty of the Parliament's offices in Brussels. It is a modern masterpiece of architecture—lots of glass, huge open areas, vast meeting halls, multiple cafeterias and coffee shops, not to mention the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of offices for the members, their staffs, and the unionized civil service. The office complex in Strasbourg is the same—vast, beautiful, and busy. But busy doing what? Well, for one thing, moving. Each month the entire European government moves from its main offices in Brussels to Strasbourg for one week. The cost of this move is enormous. Twice each month the members and their staffs must pack and ship files and other official documents, then travel and reside at significant expense in another city. Strasbourg is much smaller than Brussels, so the prices of hotels rise to reflect the increased demand. And we have not even touched the cost of lost productivity—which assumes, of course, that one believes that something beneficial to Europe really comes out of its alleged continental government. This is the elephant in the living room--does Europe really need a continental government?
The history of the European project is, as are more things than we like to admit, an outgrowth of the two world wars of the twentieth century. After the Second World War, there was real concern that Germany could threaten the peace a third time. Today we may view this concern with incomprehension, but one must look at the facts and the temper of the times. Few statesmen after World War One—called the Great War and the War to End All Wars--believed that Germany intended to restart hostilities or was capable of doing so. Did not the French, for one thing, have the finest army in Europe? France's great wartime leader, Georges Clemenceau, was one of the few who saw the danger, but his warnings were ignored in favor of worthless arms reduction treaties.
The first step on the road to creating a European government was the formation of the European Coal and Steel Community. Its organizers were very clear that they believed that Germany must not be allowed to become self-sufficient in these two key industrial sectors. It was Germany's attempt at autarky, meaning self-sufficiency in key economic areas, which made it believe that it could wage "Blitzkrieg War" before its key supplies were embargoed. The allies were determined to prevent this from happening. So Germany's industrial capacity was made dependent upon foreign-controlled resources.
Over the decades a new agenda--or, rather, multiple agendas--appeared. On the one hand, there emerged a liberal (in the good, classical sense of the word) agenda to erect a large, free trade zone among European countries. The obvious example was that of the United States. Its states exercised no control over interstate commerce. Goods and people could travel freely across state borders. This had given the United States a tremendous advantage in costs and efficiencies. The people of the United States were much more willing to move to a new state to secure a better life, rather than stoically acquiesce in the decline of regional industries. Our common heritage, language, culture, and money made starting a new life in another state less costly and less fearful. Not so in Europe. Just imagine if Pennsylvania and New York were separate countries, whose citizens spoke different languages, required passports for people to travel between them, and charged duties on trade goods. This was the case in Europe. It is a triumph of liberalism that there now are no physical barriers of any kind within the EU. Only a few lonely and abandoned guard shacks remain on some intra-European borders.
So far, so good. But another, more grandiose agenda arose—political integration that would weaken each nation's sovereignty. To some extent this has been achieved. The Euro—the European Union's standard money—is administered and controlled by the European Central Bank (ECB), a supposedly independent entity. Although it is just as susceptible to political pressure as is our Federal Reserve Bank, no nation in the Euro Zone (not all EU members are in the Euro Zone) has total control of the ECB. Furthermore, the EU has managed to impose many standard economic regulations on its members and it has been partially successful in standardizing taxation throughout the EU. The purpose of tax standardization is to prevent shifts of business headquarters from high tax countries to low tax countries within the EU. Moving headquarters is very easy to do now that there is relatively free movement of people and goods throughout the EU. But the "tax equalization" movement became a cover for closing the door to the few tax havens that remained in Europe. At one of the large worldwide economic summits recently, French President Nicholas Sarkozy called for the world to close down tax havens in places like the Cayman Islands. So the real purpose of tax equalization is to fleece business everywhere on the planet in order to prevent European headquartered companies from escaping Europe's onerous taxation.
The downside of all this, as the so-called "Euro Skeptics" claim, is that the EU has become a giant protectionist zone which greatly restricts trade outside its borders and engages in massive transfer payments within it borders. Half of the EU budget goes to farm subsidies, and they are a constant source of controversy. My wife and I had a front row seat to one incident. Our hotel in Strasbourg was only a few minutes' walk from the EU complex, on a broad avenue that led to the beautiful heart of the city, about two miles away. The farm lobby held a demonstration by marching from the downtown area to the Parliament. The demonstrators chanted slogans, carried signs, drove tractors, and even herded a few reluctant cows. That evening the "France 24 English" television station explained that the farmers want their milk subsidies increased, because the price of milk is so low. One member of the Parliament voiced his support. Apparently he had no conception of basic economics; to wit, subsidies encourage production, and more production lowers the market price. Increasing subsidies would encourage even more production and cause the price to go even lower. Ah, well, we Americans cannot take the moral high ground here, with our own outrageous farm subsidies. Furthermore, like America, the EU blocks imports of cheap food from its poorer neighbors. We Americans block cheap sugar cane imports form dirt poor Caribbean nations, while Europe blocks farm products from Africa. Taxpayers on both continents not only get the honor of paying higher prices for food staples, but we also get the honor of propping up tyrannical and corrupt regimes through our foreign aid. Were these countries allowed to trade freely with their richer neighbors, conditions would be established for the creation of a middle class that eventually would demand more representative and more honest governments.
On the TGV from Charles de Gaulle Airport, just outside of Paris, to Strasbourg I met Paul Nuttall, a newly elected member of the European Parliament, and enjoyed a good hour's conversation with him. Paul is a member of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), whose members are Euro Skeptics. Actually they are much more than skeptical of the necessity of the EU—they want Britain to resign from the EU. (In the very complex nature of EU structure, Britain is an EU member but it doesn't use the Euro—it has kept the Pound Sterling, which is administered by the Bank of England.) Paul explained that EU membership meant that Britain could not freely import products from members of the British Commonwealth, such as Canada. The EU may be a free trade zone internally, but it has high tariffs against non-EU countries. The UKIP members see this as a bad deal; that is, cutting centuries' old free trade ties with Commonwealth countries in order to pay higher prices for EU products. Furthermore, the leading EU nations, such as France, make no secret of their desire to free themselves from American military and diplomatic dominance. This is understandable and even laudable; there is no reason that the EU, whose GDP is roughly twenty-five percent greater than America's, should be subservient to anyone. But Britain has a time-honored "special relationship" with America that was solidified in the Second World War. Many in Britain would rather be a junior partner whose voice is, nevertheless, taken seriously in Washington than an "Anglo-Saxon" outsider to a Franco-German dominated Europe.
My talk went well. The audience was attentive, as confirmed by the excellent participation in the Q&A session at the end. I was on three-person panel of Austrian School economists. Our twin goals were to educate and form alliances—educate potential allies in Austrian School principles so as to encourage them to use their influence to adopt sound economic policies. We met with mixed success, but better to speak to a skeptical group with some power than to preach to a choir who has none. As enjoyable as are my talks to those already friendly to Austrian School principles, we must face facts that we are outnumbered by the Keynesians in the halls of power. These are the people who must be presented with the likely consequences of their well-intended but disastrous actions. My points were simple—the actions of the past year to debase money, stimulate the economy, re-regulate the economy, and bail out failed industries must be repealed. The window of opportunity to do so is rapidly closing. The excess reserves injected into the banking system have not been leveraged, via the fractional reserve banking system, into massive amounts of new money media…yet. Only a small percentage of the stimulus package has been spent…yet. There is still time to prevent onerous and foolish new regulations on the financial system. And the bailouts must stop. The other two speakers—Professor Jorg Guido Hulsmann of the University of Angers and Dr. Thorsten Polleit of the Frankfurt School of Management—made similar points. Professor Hulsmann explained that Mercantilism was rising under a new name—Keynesianism--but it is the same, old, and discredited theories from before the industrial revolution wrapped in new garb. Dr. Polleit pointed out that proper policies to correct economic problems must be based upon a proper perception of the causes of the current crisis. Unfortunately, the world is under the impression that past government interventions not only did not cause the crisis, but that it was weak government oversight that allowed freely acting individuals to trash the system; therefore, more oversight is required. This is completely backward, and Dr. Polleit explained why.
Was anyone convinced? Maybe. I have received some emails from MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) who are interested in learning more. This is a start. Rome wasn't built in a day and it didn't collapse in a day. But the response of all industrial nations to our current crisis cannot work and will make things worse. The world needs to know why, and I, for one, will keep explaining why to anyone who will listen.

Polignano a Mare is a picturesque town perched on the Adriatic coast in central Puglia. Located 40km southeast of Bari or 40 minutes by train, Polignano a Mare makes for an easy day trip or better yet, a multi-day stopover. The town is famous for its towering limestone cliffs, picturesque beaches and its famous son, Domenico Modugno, the singer of the song Volare (or Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu).
With two days and two nights you'll have time to enjoy its two closest beaches, stroll the back streets of the centro storico with a gelato in hand and fit in a short afternoon trip to neighbouring Monopoli.
Polignano a Mare's highlights, most of which are free, are:
- The beaches! Though the 'beaches' are either large pebbles or concrete, the surrounding views are pretty spectacular and make up for the lack of white sand
- Walking along the coast (I think the pictures below speak for themselves)
- Wandering through side streets and finding a bar cocktail bar around aperitivo time or panoramic terraces atop the limestone cliffs overlooking the Adriatic sea below
- People watching in the large piazza (Piazza Aldo Moro), with or without a takeaway pizza
- An afternoon trip to Monopoli with its grand walls and peaceful harbour
We visited Polignano a Mare and Monopoli during the first week of October 2016. Keep in mind the photos below may not be reflective of the crowds that arrive in July and August.
The Beaches
The beach closest to the town centre is the very famous (and very much photographed) Lama Monachille located a few minutes walk from Piazza Aldo Moro. The stony beach, while not overly comfortable to lay on without some form of cushioning, is flanked by limestone cliffs on two sides and the Ponte Di Polignano from behind.
If sitting on the stones isn't for you but you still want to take in the views, there are few bars to choose from overlooking the beach area where you can enjoy the view with a drink in hand.
For another beach experience, follow the coast westward, until you reach a small boat launching area and Lido Cala Paura. While there's a small sandy and sloping beach area, follow the concrete pathway to the left and you'll find another 'beach', calm, protected water and lots of concrete to stretch out on. While a little uncomfortable, the sunbathers don't seem to care (and neither did we!).
Walking along the coast
With the town perched on the top of limestone cliffs, the surrounding scenery is very dramatic and worth taking in from different vantage points. Walking west over the bridge and past Lama Monachille, you'll find more restaurants and accommodation and the statue of Domenico Modugno (and most likely a crowd!).
Continuing along the coast, there are several vantage points to see the town perched on the cliff and also a swimming pool carved into the rock. Following the coast, you'll arrive at Lido Cala Paura. The total walking time (without stopping for multiple photos) is about 10 – 15 minutes from the bridge to Lido Cala Paura.
Wandering around the Centro Storico
My favourite way to enter Polignano's Centro Storico (historic centre) is through the gate near Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi. From there, stroll along the narrow street until you reach Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, lined with several restaurants and bars.
For views of Lama Monachille from above, weave your way through the laneways to the left to find Bastione di Santo Stefano.
Wandering through Polignano's streets and laneways, you'll find many inviting restaurants and shops to spend your time in. One of my favourite spots is a cute and busy wine bar called La Cueva Café. This place was very popular around aperitivo time, but bring cash (no credit cards accepted)!
Eating pizza while people watching in Piazza Aldo Moro
Just outside the centro storico, you'll find the large piazza called Piazza Aldo Moro. With several places to sit, it's a popular place for people watching and eating a takeaway pizza from Casa Mia Trattoria Pizzeria. On Sunday morning, the piazza turns into a large farmer's market.
One of my other favourite meals involved picking up supplies at a salumeria (deli) on the other side of the bridge from the main square. They sell a variety of cheeses, antipasti, meats and other goodies for a takeaway picnic lunch.
Afternoon trip to Monopoli
With Monopoli a five minute train ride from Polignano A Mare and both historic centres within walking distance from the train stations, Monopoli makes for a very enjoyable and easy half or full day trip. While trains are frequent, Polignano a Mare is serviced by regional trains only, so the high speed trains stopping at Monopoli do not stop at Polignano a Mare. For more information check the Trenitalia website here and check the departures board so you don't end up in Bari by mistake!
Monopoli's historic centre is an easy and flat 10 minute walk from the train station. The historic town is a maze of windy streets lined with whitewashed buildings that are pretty in every direction, complete with clothes hanging out the windows and potted plants lining small courtyards.
After finding your way out of the maze of streets, grab a gelato and stroll around the small boat harbour, Via Porto and its walls and Castello Carlo V.
Polignano a Mare ended up being one of my favourite towns in Puglia. Have you visited the region? Is there any highlights I've missed? Leave me a comment below 🙂

...but memories can stay forever.
This was my grandfather's old clock. It's one of these that just work when you bank them before and that are veeery lound. I think it looks beautiful, it has this vintage-special-something and I can spend much time just holding it in my hand and looking at it, it feels like it had a lot of history.. Well, yesterday I was in mood to take photos of it, you see the results :)

It has come to my attention that all of the people who are connected to the town of Egremont water supply are in dire need of public assistance. According to the town's board of select, the water commissioner and the finance committee, the people who are receiving water from the town water supply are impoverished to such a degree that they cannot afford to pay their water bill. Therefore, we as a community must come together and meet the needs of the underprivileged. Water is a basic necessity of life. We cannot have our fellow townspeople dying in the streets for lack of such a basic bodily requirement. As a community we must pool our resources and help those in need. I know everyone in the town feels the same way. We are a community that comes together for the general welfare of the whole. Our attitude reflects the caring nurturing spirit of an old New England town. That being said, we must still be accountable. In order to make sure that our welfare dollars are being spent properly we must set up a system to regulate where the money goes and keep an account of the recipients of these public funds. I ask the selectmen to hold a special election to elect an Egremont water welfare committee. The chair of the committee would delegate its members to create an application form for applicants to fill out and a means test to set guidelines for those who apply for the welfare water. Like any welfare system we must set up guards against fraud. For even in a community minded town such as ours, there may be wolves amongst the sheep. I would wholeheartedly support this measure and hope that all of the townspeople will get behind this for the good of the community. After all are we not our brothers keeper?

Mrs. Kelly Troiano will take over the 11th and 12th grade English and our College Credit Plus (CCP) courses. She has taught at Brown Mackie College in Findlay.
We have adjusted the schedule for next year and added an academic-team time. All students will be divided by grade level and assigned to a teacher. Students will have the opportunity to get additional academic assistance during this time from a teacher.
The 9-12 school day will run from 7:45-3:05 (Note change in start time). Click here for the new 2017-18 schedule.
The State of Ohio is considering some exceptions to earning a diploma for the graduating class of 2018. Students may have several options to meet requirements. The first path is by accumulating 18 points from the seven end-of-course exams. The second is by earning a 12-point industry credential and scoring 13 points on the WorkKeys assessment. The new path, proposed by the Ohio Senate, is by meeting any two of the following:
When things are finalized, we will meet with all seniors to explain their pathways.
As always if you have any questions comments or concerns please contact me. Thank you.

This is a nice serum, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it made to my skin. In fairness, it's meant to be for wrinkles, and I don't have many wrinkles yet. But I was hoping it would help with other skin concerns (namely evening out my skin tone and fading scars), and it didn't really. It did make my skin feel firmer/plumper and better hydrated, however. And that's not nothing. It's a very silicone-y serum, which means it spreads easily but also feels a bit greasy. I used up my bottle and may give this product another chance down the line. This cost $42 USD for 1.0 fl oz, which is a little steep but still competitive within the space. And you can frequently get it cheaper thanks to Paula's Choice's excellent sales.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium Brown, Warm
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I love this. If I could, I would bathe in it, but the finish is too oily for that, and that would be hella expensive.
I got a few samples of this and since I use a retinoid every other day for acne management, every second night I have used this serum on top of PC 2% BHA topped with Vanicream light.
I wake up to beautiful skin, it doesn't break me out (I have oily, acne prone skin), it's fragrance free, it has anti irritants, squalane, Vitamin E and oat kernel oil; which I have never before put on my face. I can also use this around my eyes withouth irritation, a small miracle.
Am I going to buy the full size? Yes. I'm not bothered by the oily finish. Its not uncomfortable, and i use it at night, so its fine. Hopefully it helps my turkey neck. I bet at the bare minimum it will make it feel smoother.
Anyway, I'm very pleased with this air tight packaged Retinol product. And I want to mention that everyone must remember that all retinoids, retinols, Retin a, exfoliants, etc will often cause purging of already clogged pores. It will seem like you are getting breakouts from these products, but they are just pushing everything out.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other

NOT FOR ALL SKIN TYPES like the say. I would say its not for combination to oily skin. Its extremely greasy. Caused me break outs. But probably a good option for normal to dry. They should change the skin type recommendation.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
Since I'm getting to be that age where I can see wrinkles forming, I thought it's time I tried a retinol product that's stronger than the Paula's Choice body lotion with retinol (I use that on my face with great results, thanks MUA!) I didn't think I would like this at first, as it comes out incredibly greasy. It's like putting a layer of oil on your face and that usually spells trouble aka zits for me. But much to my surprise, my face didn't break out. In fact, I think it reduced the amount of acne I was getting.
And best of all, this product gave me plump and soft looking skin. I can actually see the difference when I use it judiciously every night - my skin has never looked this good. I can even use the lightest coverage foundation and my skin looks flawless, it's ridiculous. Worth every cent.
Age: 19-24

Not for combination/ oily skin.!!!Broke me out
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Olive, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I have repurchased twice in the past, but I am currently experimenting with using Resist body (a light cream) and resist clinical 1% and I do not think I will go back to this product for reasons of its texture. This has a distinct silicone slip and is reasonably well suited to mature skin that tends to be on the dry side (fine for me in the winter, but too heavy now). If you are normal or oily, you might find this too heavy and rich. (My current purpose in using OTC retinols is for improved skin texture, so I may be more tolerant of heavy product than someone who is mainly concerned with blemishes).
If you are not accustomed to retinol products, I advise going slowly and perhaps starting with samples. Although PC instructions encourage layering of different products, I prefer not to do so. I find it's better to just rotate throughout the week. In general, I only use retinoids at night. PC prices are increasing, but I do find the PC line of products, particularly the BHA and AHA, give good value in terms of performance. In general, I do prefer PC BHA and AHA products to the PC retinols, but I obviously use all three categories. Re packaging, PC pumps tend to be flimsy.
Note: even OTC retinols might cause some people to purge. Going very slowly into using a new product may limit this possibility. If not, you may want to use BHA or AHA (separately from retinol) to treat. Edit: I also am prone to hives ( these products do not cause hives, but I do not use them when I am hive ridden) and milia ( spot treatment with retinoids seem to help along with occasional professional dermatological extraction). I use much less product than the recommended pea sized amount; only on select areas; and, at most a few times a week or as needed (occasional use).
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Red, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
This is food for my skin! Fells a little oily at the beggining, but it blends in really nice and usually I don't feel the need for moisturiser on top. Light and nourishing at the same time. I sometimes use it 15 mins after chimically exfolianting. Retinol concentration: 0,1%. The only retinol product I can even use on my eyelids.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
I've tried this a couple of times and it doesn't work for me. The texture - it's incredibly greasy. My skin felt suffocated. Definitely order a sample first.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Olive, Cool
Hair: Other, Other, Other
Eyes: Other
Tried the sample of this. It's of a somewhat yellowish oil like serum. Feels a little oily when applied but i personally like it. After application at night my face feels very smooth, my pores seem to have shrunk a little and my face seem to be more radiant the next morning. Because it feels kind of oily, i would recommend using this at night. It does stink my face as much as paulaschoice 1% retinol treatment does so its a good serum to alternate with the 1% retinol treatment.

Writing an initial review after using once....and I never write a review after using something once.....That said, I got this as a sample with my Resist Super Antioxidant Serum, without the retinol, which I have yet to review and have been using for months.
I used a small amount before bed. Experienced some tingling after application, which I expected. Waited a bit and applied my usual moisturizer. When I woke up the next day and washed my face I was amazed. My pores were significantly diminished. I have dry skin, but enlarged pores on my cheeks. Pore size was noticeably different. As were my deep forehead wrinkles. Still there mind you, but looked much softer. I also noticed my skin feels plumped, thicker almost if that makes sense.
I also suffer from skin sensitivity, so I will be introducing this product slowly....twice a week to start and will build up. With a retinol that is recommended anyway, and this is a stronger one, so it could cause dryness and irritation if used to much. I was so astounded by the initial use though that I had to share the positive results. Will update.

All too many times you can go to a restaurant, hotel, bar, pub or cafés who have a great identity and brand but don't follow it through to their food and drink menus. A menu can stamp your company's personality onto a place. We create a variety of menus including lunch and dinner menus, coffee menus, cocktail menus, wine lists and bar tariffs as-well-as price lists for all kinds of businesses.
A menu does not have to been as something that is only for the world of catering; hairdressers and beauty salons can use them for both take-away price lists or to present their services in-house in a professional manner whilst personal trainers and garages can list their services in an organised and efficient way. We understand that a menu is also another medium for the continuity of the businesses corporate identity. Our quality full colour laminated menus are suitable for any restaurant, pub, bar, hotel or café. Our menus are printed on a variety of different stocks (paper thickness) with 350gsm board being one of the most popular.
All printed menus come with the assurance of quality and durability with either matt or gloss lamination to help protect from any food or drink spillages. We also offer free folding so that the menu can be free standing. We are now happy to offer an express printing service where, if you needed your work yesterday, we can turn the work around within the day you order.
