I just watched the video of Rod Rosenstein’s news conference regarding the indictment of Russians by the Mueller team.
Here. Watch the video yourself.
The crimes they are charged with are Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud and Bank Fraud, and six counts of Aggravated Identity Theft.
And this activity did not affect the outcome of the election.
So again I ask. Is that all there is?
Don’t get me wrong. These idiots should be prosecuted for these crimes.
But for more than a year we have been told that Russians conspired with the Trump campaign to defeat Hillary Clinton.
It’s hard to “conspire with the Russians” when you don’t know they’re Russians.
Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign was paying Fusion GPS to have a glorified muckraker gather disinformation on Donald Trump from the Russians.
Some Trump people in Florida got hoodwinked by people with fake identities.
But Hillary’s team knowingly financed Russian disinformation to undermine Donald Trump.
What’s worse, that same disinformation was then used as the basis for a FISA warrant.
So if that’s all there is, why keep the Mueller investigation going?
The very fact that this indictment says that no Americans “wittingly” participated, there can be no collusion.
Shut the damn thing down.
And, while we’re at it, appoint a special counsel to investigate DossierGate.
On a side note. I’m looking forward to reading Andrew McCarthy’s take on all this.
Listen…that sound you hear is progressives screaming.
One big fat nothing-burger! Complete with fillers.
They’ll jump up and down, claim victory and accuse Trump of obstruction.
No shame. But, we all knew that.
Now we part the shroud around this FISA business – with well honed tools. No mercy. No quarter. They were playing for keeps. It’s time we did, too.
Does this mean Sessions is no longer recused?!?!? Can we take him out of stasis?
If that happens it would be a miracle!
Who said that’s all there is? The main target of Mueller’s investigation is the midterm elections to stop the congressional oversight of the FBI. The other shoe will drop as an October surprise just before the election. It won’t matter if there is there is a guilty verdict or not, because the election is all that matters.
Now if they would only leave Trump alone!!!

Jerusalem, A City for All?
2,219 Palestinians were killed during Israel's 2014 offensive against the Gaza Strip. However, a large part of the story is left untold. Over half of those killed were refugees who were displaced from their homes in Yafa, Salama, Isdud, and many other villages and towns, as a result of and following the Nakba in 1948. The majority of those killed lived in refugee camps in the Gaza Strip within a 30 mile (50 km) radius of their homes of origin. A total of 1,236 refugees were killed during the 2014 offensive, including at least 309 children.

Mr. and Mrs. Black are enjoying two weeks in Mexico.
In Seattle, their maid finds the three rooms upstairs are torn apart, furniture broken apart, the rugs pulled up and cut into strips, the light fixtures torn from the ceiling, the sink and toilet broken apart into the tub. A body of a man is barely seen in the bedroom before the maid runs screaming in tears.
The plastic cards, many with photos still on the body, identifies him as Mr. Black. At Mr. Black’s business, B/W, they find full sized pictures of Mr. Black on several walls. A business associate identifies the body as Mr. Black.
The wife is contacted in Mexico, she is still expecting her husband to return the next day from fishing. It will be a day before she can return to Seattle.
Detective Rage researches all commercial and private jets from Mexico to Seattle. There is no way Mr. Black could have returned home from the last time he was seen in Mexico.
The bigger questions are no long who murdered Mr. Black, but where is Mr. Black? Who has been murdered in Mr. Black’s house? Why was he impersonating Mr. Black at his company?
I am trained as a theoretical mathematician. I am an emeritus member of the American Mathematical Society for fifty odd years. I have lived in Seattle since 1967. I starting writing fiction after writing a family history.
The Detective Rage Mysteries follow the exploits of Janette Ward Rage from her time as a cowgirl in Idaho, to a patrolman in Seattle, then her career as a Homicide Detective.
Her boss Inspector Strong, functions as a Chief. He seldom visits a crime scene. He fishes with the FBI Regional Director, Ted McClearly.
Her senior lead is Detective Harry Smith. He famous for his Sears Sucker suits.
Patrolman Samuel Ray Jones is slightly junior to Rage in the police department. Their paths seem to cross and when it does gun fire follows. Jones is a former Nave Seal and one of the few people that shoots as well as she does.
Many cases cross multiple lines; FBI, Home Land Security, CIA, NSA, other jurisdictions.
There is Colonel Hill in the shadows. A Marine full Colonel that seems to command or has access to what ever force is needed or intel, as he would call it.
Of course, Coroner George is around to help clean up the mess that seems to follow Rage and Jones.

Eric sent me this packaging from M & S in Paris.
Accompanied by these fantastic cheese stamps.
For links to more stamp themes that begin C, head over to Sunday Stamps.
I don't think these stamps would ever be issued with a smell sample!
I'm not a fan of stinky cheeses, but every now and then, if there's a sample to be tested, I will give it a try to see if my taste buds like it.
I hope not, could make for an off-putting piece of mail.
As a cheese lover, i think these stamps are great.
These nice stamps remind me of holidays in France, many years ago, where we got a variety of cheese as a dessert. And I loved it!
I bet the public would be strongly divided on that one.
I'm enjoying the alphabet Sunday stamps a lot.
First course brisket, followed by cheese - My mouth was watering before i looked at the stamps in detail.
A delicious piece of mail.
Love shopping for cheese in France, the stamps might be the next best thing.

There is a small bakery in the center of Minsk which sells bread “just like in the USSR and with no bourgeois excess,” and also coffee and tea to go. The owners are certain that their pastries and cakes are just as tasty, fragrant and high-quality as those once sold in Soviet canteens.
The name of the bakery is Bulochnaya.
What is there more Soviet than the infinitely dear and familiar, soft as grandma’s cheek, promising warmth and care, inspiring for adventurous feats, fragrant, tender loaf of white bread with a seductive crust?
The loaf is surrounded by the dynamically typeset name of the company.
The sun is shining, the birds are signing, the wheat is earing, the logo is used on signs, business cards and uniforms and makes Bulochnaya a hundred times more recognizable.

My partner loves the broccoli rabe, and every year we bought them and prepare a traditional Italian pasta dish, Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa. He asked me to grow some broccoli rabe, and so I sowed them last autumn.
The plants were almost ready to be harvested... when suddenly aphids killed them. One day they were green and healthy, the next yellow and dead. Unbelievable.
I had sowed also a test plant in a pot, and it survived.
It was too small to prepare the pasta seasoning, but I cooked it anyway, and served it on a bruschetta (with a millet and marjoram bread).
They were so tasty that I cursed the aphids for hours!
Fry some minced garlic, anchovie fillets and a pinch of chili with some olive oil. Add the turnip tops and cook until tender.
Serve on dark bread slices.
This goes to Deb from Kahakai Kitchen who's hosting the weekly event Souper Sundays (now Soup, Salad and Sammie Sundays).
You re so good at finding all of these veggies that I ve never tried! Looks like a delicious soup.
And I love broccoli rabe. Love love love it.
I did not know that rapini was the top to the turnip! I love it (and so does my family) - and I can t wait to tell them what I learned today!
Both the topping and the bread look delicious! Thanks for sending it along to Souper Sundays.
We really love this plant, I hope to harvest more the next time.
Megan: it s a special turnip that develops more foliage than the regular one.
How interesting! I will grow these next year! Thanks for all that fascinating info.

The Wall Street Journal Editors on the Lesson of the Winklevoss Case The Wall Street Journal Editors recognize observe "a broader cultural lesson" looking at the written decision in the Winklevosses' suit against Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. The judge refers often to the number of highly talented lawyers in who's help the Winklevi enlisted. "While it may be unfair to regard the Winklevoss twins as characters out of Dickens, we suspect that the author of 'Bleak House' might conclude that if one is bringing a sad tale before the court, the court may set the bar of belief at least as high as one's high-powered battalions of legal minds," they propose.
Barack Obama, David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy on Goals for Libya Barack Obama, David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy clarify the goals of the Libyan mission in The New York Times today and confirm their commitment to staying until the job is done. The objective here "is not to remove Qaddafi by force. But it is impossible to imagine a future for Libya with Qaddafi in power." NATO must continue what its doing to protect civilians until Qaddafi has been removed and then aid in the transition to new, elected government. "Britain, France and the United States will not rest until the United Nations Security Council resolutions have been implemented and the Libyan people can choose their own future."
Ray Hilborn Says You Shouldn't Feel Guilty About Eating Fish Ray Hilborn, University of Washington professor of aquatic and fishery sciences, refutes the claim that fish stocks are depleting, pointing to evidence that, in fact, they've rebounded spectacularly in the past decade due to fishing policies. Right now, policies need to be more flexible, as we're restricting catch for some fish when we don't have to. Though he doesn't deny the need for care, "after all, if fish are off the menu, we will likely eat more beef, chicken and pork. And the environmental costs of producing more livestock are much higher than accepting fewer fish in the ocean: lost habitat, the need for ever more water, pesticides, fertilizer and antibiotics, chemical runoff and 'dead zones' in the world's seas."
Philip Stephens on American Troops in Europe At the Financial Times, Philip Stephens thinks the fact that the U.S., after over 20 years after the Cold War, is withdrawing some troops from Europe is a sign that "Americans are giving up on Europe." And this is a good thing. Europe has relied on the U.S. for defense help and seems unprepared for the lead role it shouldered in the current Libyan conflict, he argues. "In the circumstances, many would say that the intelligent course for Europeans is to plead with the Americans to stay. The harsh truth, though, is that Europe needs shock treatment," Stephens argues. "As long as they are nestling comfortably under the US security umbrella, Europeans will continue to inhabit a postmodern utopia in which the only thing to do with defence spending is to cut it and the only power worth talking about is of a distinctly soft variety."
Peggy Noonan on Why the GOP Needs to Get Serious The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan argues that President Obama is not in a good position to win the 2012 election. Though his poll numbers are high Noonan suspects most people who actually dislike the President are unwilling to admit that to a pollster. Yet Democrats are not downcast, and "hope that the GOP will nominate for the presidency someone strange, extreme or barely qualified." The outcome of the 2012 election will depend on whether the GOP can get serious and nominate an experienced and qualified traditional Republican candidate. If so, she predicts, "they will likely win the thing without which they cannot achieve the big changes they seek, and that is the presidency."

Disney spent seven years recreating the incredible land of Avatar, so now try the ultimate long-haul trip: a different planet!
'Some of this flight might be intense, but trust your guide and be brave.’ The words of warning came from Dr Jackie Ogden as our group gathered in the Link Chamber of the Pandora Conservation Initiative.
We had already been through the Genetic Matching Room and been decontaminated for micro-parasites, and were now on the final sequence of instructions before being let loose on the alien planet.
With the final message of ‘Rise to the challenge!’ we were swooping off across the otherworldly terrain and lush foliage of Pandora on the back of a Mountain Banshee, the gigantic dragon-like beast from Alpha Centauri that eats people for breakfast.
Fortunately, all this excitement was purely man-made. Or, we should say, Disney-made. Because we were in the Animal Kingdom theme park in the heart of Walt Disney World, Orlando.
Pandora: The World Of Avatar is the latest attraction built by the House of Mouse – with the help of film-maker James Cameron – in its vast Florida resort. It has taken seven years.
While some Disney die-hards doubted such an obvious film franchise being shoe-horned into this most naturalistic of parks, the end result is a 12-acre immersive environment so packed with features and special effects it would take pages to list them all.
The wizard tastes of Oz: Kathy Lette swims with dolphins -... Nature and nurture: Indonesia's sublime Bintan Island is a... One of Europe's best beaches and magical ports: Exploring... Can I really do New York in ten hours?
It starts with the Floating Mountains that seemingly hover over the area – gigantic, 156ft-tall rockworks complete with vegetation, creatures and waterfalls – and continues through a jungle-like panorama of immense complexity, studded with the bioluminescent plants from the 2009 movie that are recreated in painstaking detail, including examples that react to touch and movement using specially developed sensors.
Cleverly hidden among the alien terrain – which mixes artificial plants with real ones from Hawaii and Africa – are two contrasting rides that take the story of Avatar into the future, 100 years after the war between Earth’s Resource Development Administration and the indigenous Na’vi people.
The Na’vi River Journey is a meandering boat ride through the Pandoran jungle, using a mix of animatronics and screen projections to create a realistic series of encounters with the flora, fauna and people, taking an eco-friendly approach highlighting conservation principles and real-world issues such as habitat destruction.
Virgin Holidays (virginholidays.co.uk, 0344 739 0025) offers seven nights in Orlando from £1,089pp, including return flights from Gatwick to Orlando, room-only accommodation at Disney’s All Star Music Resort and car hire.
It also includes Disney’s Seven Day Ultimate Ticket with Memory Maker. Attraction Tickets Direct (attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk) also offers tickets.
Then, Avatar Flight Of Passage kicks things up several notches with the aforementioned simulator ride in the company of Dr Ogden. Sitting astride a kind of stationary bike (and equipped with 3-D glasses), riders seemingly dive, twist and turn in through a long whirl over Pandora, taking in the sights and sounds that made the film such a visual extravaganza.
There also ought to be a special award for the Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse with its neon blue and yellow hues. If there is such a thing as alien-looking food, this is it.
SeaWorld Orlando has announced its latest attraction, Infinity Falls, will be ready for next summer.
Rapids will roar through the newly created rainforest river experience, while adventure-seeking guests plunge down the world's tallest river rapid drop.
To bring Infinity Falls to life, designers were inspired by rainforests and rivers of South America.
Each raft will twist and turn its way through a jungle environment as guests experience the feel of exhilarating Class IV rapids.
A vertical elevator lifts each raft for a dramatic launch into the river 40ft below. Seaworldparks.co.uk.

Welcome back my fellow randomners! Not a word but I have decided to make it a word. Hey, if ‘LOL’ is allowed in the dictionary then randomners can be too. Glad we got that sorted. Moving onto today’s random topic.
Just writing about him might be controversial. Almost everyone on the internet (professional and amateur) has an opinion about his works. Before we go any further, let me give some background on who Aaron Sorkin is as a person (this will be general since he has been active in the entertainment industry for a very long time).
Aaron Sorkin is a writer that has written plays, television, and movies. He is famous for his quick walk/talks (which he has made fun of himself on 30 Rock), and characters that tend to have the same name, and many of the shows have the same episode titles. He has written ‘A Few Good Men,’ ‘The West Wing,’ ‘The American President,’ ‘Sports Night,’ The Social Network’, and ‘Newsroom’ (just to name a few).
There is a severe hatred of his work. There is an extreme love of his work.
Where do I land? What is the point of this piece of writing?
Aaron Sorkin as a writer has inspired me in more ways than even I could imagine. My endgame is not to praise him or bring him down. This piece is about how much his television shows, plays, and movies have affected the way I write.
Let me start at the beginning. It starts on a channel called Comedy Central.
I was bored one snow day. My big activity for the day was to channel surf. I was clicking by so fast I always went by what was on Comedy Central. A simple laugh track (we will get to that) and two guys having a quick conversation about pants.
I’m talking about Sports Night. My first taste of the Aaron Sorkin and his brand of comedy (more on that show tomorrow). I moved to The West Wing, which is one of the best-written television shows ever to exist. Period. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip appeared in my life when I came to a trailer, and I was on a Matthew Perry kick. Great show but had terrible timing. I look at it as a miniseries. The Newsroom brought a lot of ire from critics, but I enjoyed seeing these newsroom idiots run around and try to be the best they could be.
So, how did any of this affect how I write?
I learned that characters needed to be flawed. If you go through every show, Aaron Sorkin ever wrote a few quirks show up all the time. One of my favorites? Every character is flawed in some way. His characters may be flawed morally. Some are more superficially flawed. Either way, every character we as an audience meet is flawed.
I grew up in a world where authors made characters without fault, and it must be the other people who are the problem, not the main character. Watching Aaron Sorkin shows it does not matter what your characters position is in the story. The characters will have faults. Having faults is not a death sentence.
For instance, Toby from The West Wing had a tendency to overreact to situations. Piss him off enough or hurt someone he loves, he is coming for you in his own way. However, he was an effective communicator. In The Newsroom, Mac always had trouble with technology, but she was smart and knew how to run a newsroom successfully even with a difficult headliner.
Having faults is ok. Those flaws can exist and should. Without fault, how can anyone connect to a character?
I learned that you should hold your audience to a higher standard. You can see this in the way Aaron Sorkin writes. No one is too stupid or too smart to understand and relate to his characters. Something I remember about some of the books or screenplays I read was how they described something or the way a character talked to others or even the audience. Some treated the audience as if they were stupid or who they are as a person is stupid. I never got that from an Aaron Sorkin script. The characters, the setting, and situation never talked down to an audience. The writing showed that an audience does not need something dumbed down to understand it. Treat the audience with respect. Always treat the audience with respect and they will respond.
I learned a lot about writing from reading and watching Aaron Sorkin. I think without him or his shows in my life I would be missing a small piece of good entertainment and lessons in writing. He isn’t my only inspiration, but he was a big one in my life. I know it is cool to hate him right now (you may have excellent reasons to in same cases) but I think we can all agree that the man knows how to write great dialogue and characters.
Tomorrow I will be talking about Sports Night. An Aaron Sorkin show that no one talks about or cares about. I think it is time people gave it some attention.

Created accidentally in 1942, Super Glue has been mending snapped coffee cup handles and sticking broken Bluetooth receivers to ears for many decades.
Unfortunately, the wonder glue’s inventor, Dr. Harry Coover, passed away at the age of 94 over the weekend at his home in Kingsport, Tennessee.
Though Super Glue came about as an accident, Coover was quite the inventor during his long and productive life. Like a modern day DaVinci, the Delaware native eventually ended up with 460 patents to his credit. For his scientific creativity, Coover was inducted in 2004 into the National Inventors Hall of Fame located in Akron, Ohio.
From pop culture to the President, Coover met many famous folks due to his sticky fixer. The inventor made an appearance on the early television game show “I’ve Got A Secret” with Garry Moore. In a precursor to the Japanese game show that has contestants leap onto a velcro wall, Moore and Coover were suspended with his glue.
His contributions to society were also recognized at a different level as he was awarded the National Medal of Science from President Barack Obama in 2010.
He was also pleased that his invention found uses in the medical field to close wounds, according to a family member.
Unfortunately, Coover didn’t reap great profits from his invention and it couldn’t heal its creator.

You should get an honorary degree in blocking out the haters.
1. You despise talking on the phone.
After doing it all day, you really just want your friends to text you about plans.
2. You are exceptionally good at keeping your cool.
3. You are no longer surprised at the depths of stupidity humans can sink to.
4. You never forget the joy that is putting an annoying customer on hold.
And maybe you still do this to your friends every so often.
"Oh, you don't know where you want to meet tonight? Oo, one second, can I put you on hold?"
5. "Accidentally" hanging up on people is another trade secret you never forget.
6. Getting a sore throat feels like the worst thing that could possibly happen to you.
Or maybe it's a cough, but then at least you get to put someone on hold while you cough your guts up.
7. Your phone voice is perfection.
And if someone can't hear you loud and clear it is 100% their fault.
8. The terror of a call coming in right before your shift ends haunts you for life.
9. You know how sacred bathroom breaks are.
Easily the highlight of the day.

11. Using your phone at your desk feels naughty.
Basically living in an environment where every second of your day doesn't have to be accounted for is generally great.
12. You have a talent for sounding 100% confident about things you are really quite unsure of.

13. You've either learnt to be incredibly patient, or have just become numb to frustration.
14. You are an expert at knowing whether to call someone "Mr" or "Mrs" from their voice alone.

"Let me just put you on hold." So I can finish this packet of crisps.
16. If you have long hair, then you will be an expert at dealing with this.
17. You know that the customer definitely isn't always right.
And the feeling when you calmly win an argument with them will be the second highlight of your day after going to the toilet.
18. You deserve a medal for your skills at blocking out the hate.
Be the punching bag you want to see in the world.
19. And you will always be polite to the person on the other end of the phone.

The verdict is still out on whether or not the DC Extended Universe will have a long and healthy life, but Warner Bros. is taking some interesting steps that an positively affect their properties, should it not. Last week, it was revealed that director Todd Phillips and producer Martin Scorsese were in talks to develop an origin story for the Joker.
Unlike any of the DC films that had hit in recent years, the Joker origin film won’t be a part of the DCEU. This will allow the filmmakers not to be restricted by any of the the preexisting canon, and will give them the room to actually tell the story they want to tell. Considering that Warner Bros. had considered themselves a director-focused studio, this is fantastic news, and could lead to more Dark Knight-caliber DC flicks.
But what would the Joker film actually entail? Obviously, it’s still early in the development process, so we weren’t expecting to hear anything incredibly soon. However, while on the Joe Rogan Experience (via Batman-News), MMA fighter/actor Brendan Schaub spilled the beans on interesting nuggets.
Given that the initial report stated they planned this being a dark ’80s crime film, we were expecting it to be dark, so that’s no surprise. What is a surprise is the revelation that the Joker would be sporting a permanent smile. The fact that he would get made fun of for it as a kid is also intriguing, since it implies that the Joker will have been bullied, making way for all sorts of potential for torment and angst.
While it is just one detail, I can’t wait to see in action, and really hope that they’re able to follow through with this project. In a world where the DCEU exists, there is very much still room for filmmakers to still original, standalone stories with these characters.
What do you think of these details? Let us know your thoughts down below!

Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel releases the Federal IT Shared Services Strategy, which will arm agencies with new tools to eliminate waste and duplication and update their services for the 21st century.
From the outset of this Administration, President Obama has recognized the unique power of technology to streamline government services, cut waste and duplication, save taxpayer dollars, and drive efficiency across the Federal government. Through the Campaign to Cut Waste and other efforts, we’ve shed light on Federal spending both in IT and across the government; unlocked valuable government data for use by researchers, companies, and the public; and turned back the dial on overspending in Federal IT, saving billions through optimizing infrastructure and tackling poorly performing projects. Now, we are going to promote responsible and business driven sharing across Federal IT to reduce spending further so that we can invest in needed innovative mission systems.
In support of these efforts, last October I launched the Shared-First initiative to root out waste and duplication across the Federal IT portfolio. Today, we’re building on that important step by taking another. Today, I am releasing the Federal IT Shared Services Strategy, which will arm agencies with new tools to eliminate waste and duplication and update their services for the 21st century.
The new strategy was first outlined in the December 2010 25-Point Implementation Plan to Reform Federal IT Management. It covers the entire spectrum of IT shared service opportunities throughout the Federal Government and promotes the use of existing and new strategic sourcing methods where agencies can combine their buying power for similar IT needs and get lower prices and improved service leverage in the process.
Leveraged with existing policy on TechStat and PortfolioStat, agencies will use this strategy to assess the maturity of their IT portfolio management process, make decisions on eliminating duplication, and consolidate commodity IT systems, services, and related contracts in order to maximize the return on IT investments across the portfolio.
The Shared-First approach creates new opportunities for industry to provide shared IT services to agencies that are more agile in delivery and more responsive to a wide variety of evolving mission, support, and commodity IT requirements. The strategy recognizes the need for agencies to gain proficiency in managing or consuming shared IT services and therefore provides an initial focus on commodity IT consolidation opportunities, as called for in the August 2011 OMB memo to Chief Information Officers.
When the Shared-First approach is implemented in concert with PortfolioStat investment reviews, standardized architecture methods, and Digital Government planning concepts, agencies will have a stronger set of tools by which to innovate with less. The Federal IT Shared Services Strategy is an enduring concept, which must be ingrained in agency management cultures to ensure that mission success continues during times of tight budgets.
Steven VanRoekel is the Federal Chief Information Officer – for more information visit www.cio.gov.

The South Santiam River is easily accessible for bank angling just below Foster Dam on both the north and south banks, near the confluence of Wiley Creek, at Camp Koinonia off North River Drive, at Northside Park in town and at Pleasant Valley Bridge on the west end of Sweet Home. Drift boats can utilize the public boat ramps at Wiley Creek Park located just downstream of Foster Dam or at Pleasant Valley Bridge. Shuttle service is available in town.
The South Santiam River is one of the premier spots for Chinook and Summer Steelhead fishing in the state due to an excellent hatchery program. Whether you take a guided fishing tour or simply cast your line from the riverfront, anyone who enjoys fishing will find this to be a spectacular location.
The best fishing is in May and June for Summer Steelhead; however the run begins in April and fish are available through September. Winter Steelhead fishing season is March through May but these fish are wild and must be released. Spring Chinook salmon season is typically good May through July, with a mix of hatchery and wild fish. Trout fishing is also available, although the river is not stocked.
Foster Reservoir is stocked with over 40,000 rainbow trout from April to June each year to accommodate year round trout and bass fishing. The reservoir is full from late May through September each year. Bank angling is popular near the dam at the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Park as well as at several areas along the south and north sides of the reservoir. Bank fishing is good using standard trout fishing techniques such as bobber and worms, casting spinners, or Power Bait. Trails along most of the north shore, as well as two county parks, provide good water access. Boat angling is best April 1 to mid June; trolling with spinners, such as rooster tails, allows fishermen to gain access to more isolated areas of the reservoir, such as up the South Santiam arm.
Sunnyside Park stockes a ;arge pond with trout, and also has bass, bullhead and bluegill. The pond is the perfect place for young anglers and those with limited mobility.
Green Peter Reservoir is best known in fishing society as western Oregon’s premier Kokanee Lake, boasting numerous fishing tournaments annually! This year-round fishing reservoir is also home to populations of rainbow trout, smallmouth and largemouth bass and even land-locked salmon. There is a bonus limit of 25 fish that includes both Kokanee and other salmon, which is in addition to the bags allowed for other species.
Due to the depth and frigid waters, it’s important to note that Kokanee are shallow in the spring and go deeper as the water warms; spawning in tributaries in the early fall. Kokanee fishing is good from late May through late September, with July and August usually being the most productive months. When the lake is down a bit and the surface temperature is above 70 degrees, usually the fishing improves.
Green Peter and Quartzville Creek, a tributary to the reservoir, are stocked with rainbow trout in the spring and early summer. At full pool, the reservoir is more than 3,700 acres and nearly ten miles long. Due to the sheer size and steep terrain along the shoreline, bank fishing for Kokanee is nearly impossible in most places around Green Peter, but many anglers try their luck jigging from the bridge over the Whitcomb Creek arm or at the south end of the dam, at Thistle Creek boat ramp and other sites. Boat anglers find jigging and trolling to be the most effective methods of catching fish on this lake using their boats to gain access to more isolated areas of the reservoir and up Quartzville Creek.
Kayaking on Canyon Creek- Canyon Creek, Oregon is a seven mile ride through extraordinary scenery that has earned quite a reputation with kayaking aficionados. The upper two miles provide some of the best class V rapids in the state and should only be attempted by the highly experienced and zealous paddlers. While the upper run is vicious and merciless; the lower five miles are undemanding and hospitable as they glide over ledges and slides in one of nature’s best water theme parks.
Many paddlers choose to pair the lower five mile ride with the Lower Soda Fork class III and IV rapids. If you are beginning with the Canyon Creed run, travel on Hwy 20 east of Sweet Home; the turn off for Canyon Creek is just past milepost 43; turn south and put-in at Black Creek Bridge (approximately 4.9 miles). This run has year-round approachability and a trail provides relatively easy access.
Right out of the gate, the first significant drop is directly downstream of the put-in and around a bend to the left where it drops out of sight. The long stretches of tranquil water between drops allow for plenty of recovery time and are ideal for intermediate creekers. About ¼ mile in is ‘Osprey’, the most difficult torrent on the lower five. Even strong paddlers need to be cautious because this hole is more difficult than it looks, especially at high water.
Below Osprey, the creek mellows out significantly; rapids are farther apart and the creek is wider and less limited which provides the opportunity for paddlers to observe the wider, sunnier nature of the canyon. Kayakers should not let this distract them from the upcoming ‘Constrictor’ which should only be attempted by fearless, talented and/or lucky paddlers.
Just downstream of the Constrictor is the final stretch leading up to the confluence of Canyon Creek and the S. Santiam River. Emerald waters rush between vertical rock walls lined with old-growth Douglas fir to create one of the most beautiful stream scenes in Oregon. The final mile or two is the highlight of the trip down lower Canyon Creek.
Paddlers can take-out at the bridge over Canyon Creek just above the confluence or continue downstream. The float of an additional mile on the S. Santiam River, through Hobbit Gorge, to Cascadia State Park is breathtaking and worth the experience.
Kayaking the Soda Fork of the South Santiam River both upper and lower are short but packed with fun rapids and are often paired with a trip down the Canyon Creek run for an exciting day-trip.
Lower Soda Fork is Class III and IV rapids. Best run at higher water levels this half-mile of steep rapids on the Upper Soda Fork is a super fun, roller coaster ride down a series of non-stop slides and ledges up to 8 feet tall. The creek is wide and scenic; a beautiful accompaniment to the naturally created water ride. This ride is too short for a single trip and is usually combined with nearby runs on the South Santiam River.
Located 25 miles east of Sweet Home on Hwy 20 at Upper Soda, turn north just before the bridge across the Soda Fork Creek. Travel up the road along the Soda Fork for .88 miles until you reach a bridge, put in here. To take out you must travel past Upper Soda and take out on the South Santiam River. To take out on Hwy 20 about 200 yards west of the bridge you will see a nearly invisible road going into the woods on the south; this leads to a meadow with a couple of trails down to the river.
Upper Soda Fork is 1.37 miles of Class V rapids. The put-in for the Upper Soda Fork is deceptively placid and loggy, however, a few hundred yards downstream the creek tilts on edge and changes instantly from a sleepy little stream to a foaming pile of huge, stone congested white water. The narrow, powerful rapids are jam-packed with boulder gardens covered in moss and interspersed with fallen trees. Scouting or portaging the rapids is easiest on the right side of the river. The scenery is pretty nice with large mossy boulders and lots of trees but the creek will probably have your full attention! Downstream the gradient cools off slightly but the rapids are still really good. Much too short for a single trip, this section is usually combined with a run down nearby Canyon Creek.
Located up Highway 20, 25 miles east of Sweet Home at Upper Soda, turn north just before the bridge across the Soda Fork Creek; 2.25 miles to the second bridge. Put in at this bridge. While there, be sure to check out the gigantic 6+ foot diameter old growth Douglas fir. Take out at the first bridge 1.37 miles down steam unless water is high enough to continue down to the Lower Soda Fork takeout site.

A blower Bentley has been sold in Bohnams auction at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2012 for 4.5 million GBP, setting a new world record for the world’s most expensive Bentley.
It’s Sir Henry ‘Tim’ Birkin’s dramatic 4 ½ Litre Supercharged ‘Blower’ single seat racing machine returning to record-breaking form. This new world-best for Birkin’s striking 240bhp supercharged red racer now outstrips the previous record by a Bentley at auction when the Speed Six known as ‘Old No 2’ achieved £2.8 million at the Le Mans Classic in 2004. this is quite a special car partly due to the state of the ca itself, and partly because of its owner’s character.
It is a record breaking car too. In March 1932 Birkin set a record 137.96mph (219.93kmh) at Brooklands, a feat even a man renowned for pushing back the limits in motor sport would describe as hair-raising. The car’s impeccable as far as classics go.
At its racing zenith and with the famously fearless and dashing ex-fighter pilot and Le Mans winner Birkin behind the wheel, this unique Bentley was one of the undoubted stars of the high-risk Outer Circuit at Brooklands. “there are bumps which jolt the driver up and down in his seat and make the car leave the road and travel through the air,” said Birkin.

I was surprised last week by King Tuff’s new song, The Other, brilliant, but brooding and in no hurry to get where it was going. This one is closer to the King Tuff I know, catchy and upbeat, but still not the punky, economical, garage rock of the past couple albums. Dare I say this one veers toward pop? Whatever, still sounds good to me.

Tobacco industry admissions come decades too late for many Minnesotans.
“This is a group of people who, for many reasons, are already dying much earlier than the general population. When you add tobacco use to the mix, the statistics are even worse,” said Avivo President and CEO Kelly Matter.
As Edina and St. Louis Park raise the legal age for purchasing tobacco, Minnesota city councils are joining a movement that’s gaining traction nationwide.
Raising the legal age to smoke to 21 would help reduce the number of our younger residents who start smoking, and we would see positive health and financial benefits for decades to come.

Working with local families in the Habitat Partnership program, often involves becoming a coach and a cheerleader throughout the process. Homeownership is a life-changing milestone, and for most Habitat families it means learning or being exposed to new things – scary ideas like budgeting, banking, and being open about their family’s financials.
Truth is, the Habitat Partnership towards Homeownership program requires a big commitment from our partner families. It all starts with a personal and emotional commitment. They need a strong desire to own a home, the motivation to access possibilities to have a better future or the dream to provide stability for their children. It is in the roots of these personal yet collective motivations that the Family Services Department thrives in offering a hand up and works closely with the families in building perspectives about their own goals and crafting their own tools to be successful.
In this process, we also become the liaison between the family and a team of supporters all rooting for their success. From their interactions with donors and volunteers at the ReStore, construction sites and different committees, to dealing with the complicated world of mortgage lending and working accountably with their mentor-guided monthly assignments, we are with them. It is in understanding the importance and tremendous value of coaching families, through the short period of time they are with us before they purchase their home, that we find joy in what we do: walking beside them. It also means we get to learn throughout the process as well. Every partner family shares a new perspective which provides us the opportu nity to be more creative and successful in our role as housing counselors and as people walking through seasons of life together.
In addition, as recent as last year, we both attended training based on HUD fair housing guidelines, to be able to provide Homeownership counseling to prepare “would-be borrowers” in all aspects of the home-buying process as well as the responsibilities of owning a home. This approach, in addition to referrals to other community partners, leads to a more informed community and over time, greater success in a tight market such as Bend.
It’s really powerful when the family you have been working with on a specific areaof growth or behavioral change, masters it and achieves success. And to know that what we do every day contributes directly to our community, impacting one family at a time, is a very rewarding feeling. If you have wondered about sharing the love for transforming lives, follow us on Facebook and find out when our next Home Dedication is happening. These events really sum it all!

I originally posted this last week as a note on my facebook page, but it sets the tone for this media-criticism-oriented blog, so I figure it’s worth a repost.
It’s Martin Luther King Day, so I feel like I should write something. Because for some reason, Dr. King’s story and assassination struck a particular chord with me when I was younger. More specifically: he used to be one of my heroes.
I remember cramming for the SAT II subject exam on American History in eleventh grade. I hadn’t taken the course, but I wanted to get the exam out of the way, so I was racing through a review/practice test book, attempting to learn the entire curriculum in a few weeks. Decades zipped along in bullet points — World War I, the roaring 20s, the Great Depression, the New Deal, Pearl Harbor, World War II, and so on until the Civil Rights Movement.
Everything was treated with the same cursory lack of depth. African Americans did this, did that, Dr. King said this, organized this boycott, led this demonstration. All the stuff you learn in elementary school. But even — or perhaps especially — in the review book’s simplistic format, you could feel the momentum, the change, the progress, and it was kind of exciting.
And that was it. Not another word about him.
I remember reading those two sentences and my own reaction completely blindsided me: I started to cry.
I once impulse-bought Dr. King’s posthumous, unauthorized autobiography at Barnes and Noble, because it was right there on the table and I just had to have it. I went around reading it for weeks afterward and always made sure to have the cover facing outward when I held it, because I wanted people to know who I reading about, because I took such pride in it.
We take pride in our heroes. We fancy that who we admire, who we idolize or value or remember, says something about our own character. I’ve become hyper-aware of this during my past couple of weeks in Hollywood — there are literally thousands of stars embedded in the pavement on the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame, and you cannot possibly take pictures of all of them if you want to get anything else done. You have to pick and choose, you have to prioritize. Who is worth stopping for? Whose star is worth taking a picture of?
And then comes the question: Why is ANY star worth taking a picture of? It’s a hunk of concrete. You could probably google any star you want and find it in five seconds; why bother stopping and snapping your own photo?
My point is, we at least partly identify ourselves by our heroes. If I’m a fan of old-time actors, I figure it says that my tastes run toward the elegant and the classy. If I’m a fan of the cast of Star Trek, and can recognize all their names from Shatner to Doohan to Nichols, it means I’m a nerd. If I’m a fan of celebs like George Takei and Neil Patrick Harris, it means not only do I value their talent; it means I value and respect the work they’ve done for the LGBTQ community. And so on.
And here’s where I’ll stop using the word “hero,” because, as I mentioned in my last note, I don’t believe in heroes.
I think that people are people, and that elevating others to a higher plane is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Everyone screws up, and if you look hard enough, you can always find the ugly side of people. So if you hold someone to a higher standard and expect more from them, you’ll probably just end up feeling betrayed and let down. Illusions are comforting and reassuring, but I prefer the truth, and the truth is that people are flawed.
For the record, here’s useful distinction from a writing blog I once read on the difference between “imperfect” and “flawed” — imperfections are innocuous, like pimples or clumsiness; they show that the character is not a perfect construction, but they do no real damage to anyone. They are comfortable and safe and too many writers use them because of that. Flaws are ugly and unpleasant and cause genuine harm and pain to others. There is nothing safe or comfortable about them and writers are reluctant to use them because of that. Truly believable characters must have flaws, because all people have flaws.
I can’t remember where or when I first learned that Martin Luther King Jr. was a womanizer who cheated on his wife.
We feel betrayed when our so-called heroes fall. Betrayed by them and betrayed by the world that somehow conspired to raise these people in our consciousnesses, when they were in fact unworthy. I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who right now are feeling this way about Lance Armstrong, who have felt this way about any athlete who cheated or has been strongly linked to cheating, whether it was Mark McGuire or Sammy Sosa or Roger Clemens.
But it’s not easy to separate the person from the achievement, and the feelings of betrayal from the actual crime.
A commonly proposed solution to such a dilemma is “empathy.” Empathize with your fallen hero, and be forgiving, and then perhaps you can still appreciate their legacy without the dark clouds shadowing it.
This may surprise some people, but I’m not big on empathy. I was not blessed (or cursed) with an abundance of it. The fact that I cried while reading a history textbook that one time was shocking to me. With very rare exceptions, I am not one of those people who can feel someone else’s pain.
I was, however, given an abundance of understanding, which is not the same thing. Empathy is emotional; understanding is rational. I understand so many things that I cannot fathom emotionally. I can recognize patterns and draw parallels and see people’s behaviors and environments and common themes threaded repeatedly through human nature, and the circumstances surrounding people’s actions, and just get why they do what they do, no matter how outlandish or inexplicable it might seem to some. A relatively new acquaintance once said to me, “It’s like you’re reading my mind from the future and saying things before I think them,” and a different friend once said of my writing, “It’s like, these are my thoughts, but you’re wordifying them.” I don’t in any way claim to speak for everyone, but I seem to have a knack for getting inside people’s heads using nothing more than logic. I understand things, but I can’t empathize.
So that’s my approach to heroes, or to the people society might consider to be heroes. I try to keep them firmly on the ground so that they remain people, and people can be understood, either rationally, or (if you happen to have the wiring for it) emotionally. Understanding is the first step to forgiveness, and forgiveness is one of those vital life skills that isn’t taught in school but is needed to survive, because not only are all people imperfect, but they are also flawed.

Tonight I'm thinking of Jean Harlow.
Seventy years ago at this time, Hollywood's original "Blonde Bombshell" who delighted millions with films such at Red-Headed Woman and Bombshell, was painfully passing her last agonizing hours alive inside an oxygen tent in Room 826 at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, suffering from failing kidneys and a gruesome cerebral edema - fluid build up in the skull.
By 11:38 AM on June 7, 1937, she would be gone forever.
Is anyone truly gone who lives in the minds and hearts of people who love them?
Today, Jean Harlow's presence in the world survives on films and even more importantly on the internet where thousands of adoring fans keep her memory alive by writing about her, on websites and on chat groups and via email. They are the keepers of her flame.
Her following is as strong as ever, and, as her biographer David Stenn tells me, no one would be more shocked than Jean herself.
Pandemonium ensued at Forest Lawn in Glendale, Calif., when her funeral was held a few days later on June 9.
On June 12, she was sealed inside a private crypt room in the Great Mausoleum there, witnessed only by her mother and erstwhile love interest William Powell.
Seventy years later, after Mother Jean (also entombed there), William Powell and those who knew her best are long gone, the crypt is a place of pilgrimage for those who continue to give a damn, despite the best efforts of Forest Lawn personnel to keep fans at bay. When Jean was laid to rest, under the moniker "Our Baby," would any of her loved ones have dared guess that anyone would remember or care to go out of their way to see her grave in the 21st century?
I'm guessing not, because when you grieve in the present you don't think of the future.
But that was 70 years ago. Today "Our Baby" takes on a whole new meaning.
I find it ironically disgusting that over the years Forest Lawn itself has named Jean Harlow as one of its best known permanent residents, prostituting her name and likeness for publicity, and yet fans who truly care about remembering her for who she was as a person and as an actress are treated with harshness whenever they attempt to visit the crypt or dare to leave flowers in her honor.
I've been kicked out of the Great Mausoleum with the best of them, being scolded and told that trespassing was disrespectful, by people who probably couldn't pick Jean out of a Turner Classic Movies line-up. They should be so lucky to have anyone remember them long after they pass on. They just don't get what cemeteries are all about, truly. How sad.
I've left flowers for Jean that I know were removed by personnel within hours of my placing them in her room and was lied to about the floral whereabouts. I've been lied to about "relatives" still alive who insist that her room remain private. Baloney. There is no such relative, I assure you. Still others interested in Jean have told me they got in to see the Harlow room... by paying off the security guards.
Is that respect for the dead, protecting them, or is it just insulting their memory?
I will not visit Forest Lawn tomorrow to commemorate Jean's deathiversary, in part because I will be remembering her in other ways among friends, and also because I'm tired of being treated like a criminal. In that sense, Forest Lawn and its cronies "win." But Jean's star will shine bright as the years go on, while Forest Lawn perpetuates it's reputation for being two-faced and anti-memorial friendly.
The photos I show here are considered contraband. I was actually warned by a Forest Lawn security guard named Joan that she "better not ever see them online." Well, here they are. They're not here to piss Joan or anyone at Forest Lawn off. I'm not making a profit off them, either, which is generally the concern of such images being displayed.
They are here so that people who care about Jean Harlow's memory can see the beautiful place she rests in for eternity, and to pay respects cyberly rather than do it in person and risk being made to feel bad that they are interested in preserving her memory and experiencing her history.
Rest in peace, dear Harlean. You will never be forgotten.
Leave a flower for Jean and Mother Jean (who passed 49 years ago on June 11) at Findagrave.com.

Dental air compressor is vital to our dental practice. We should know more about different dental compressors. When looking for compressed air for your dental practice it is important that you get the best possible air quality and that your dental compressor provide you with the air you need to operate your practice. As a dentist you focus is on the patient and you just want know that you buy the best solution for your dental business. And there are many considerations for selecting dental compressors.
The air that is produced by the compressor is used directly in human mouths. They will inhale the air and swallow any contaminations that is within the compressed air. Of course, the compressor and the compressed air must meet the highest possible standards!
In the old days, dentist had no other choice than to buy a oil-lubricated compressor and use filters in the compressed air line to filter out any oil in liquid or vapor form. But, with filters you can never be 100% sure. Filters will get old and require replacement in time, before they deteriorate. Nowadays, a whole range of oil-free compressors is available on the market. Oil-free compressors have the big advantage that they are 100% oil-free, so there is zero chance of oil in the compressed air system.
To properly size a compressor, you need to know your air consumption and the capacity of the compressor. Consumption is usually determined by how many operatories are in use at a time. Capacity is the compressor output in cubic feet per minute (cfm), and can usually be found in product literature.
The key point is that two compressors may put out the same cfm, but the one with the lower duty cycle cannot run as much without reducing its service life. Duty cycle varies widely among compressors, so ask your supplier about it.
Dental compressors have “heads,” with each one housing one or more pistons. Some models employ a single head, while others use a multihead design. A common misunderstanding is that a machine with multiple heads has built-in backup. When a multihead compressor has a malfunctioning pump, it may not be able to continue running on another head.
Manufacturers make choices in design and materials to meet target price points, so quality varies widely. Following are some points to consider when comparing compressors.
Heads should be made of quality materials and designed to remove heat. Finned cylinders, large cooling fans, and filters are important features. Components should be designed to be serviced, not replaced. For example, antifriction coatings like Teflon are widely used to reduce piston wear.
Though it is often hard to quantify up front, your experience has probably shown that good quality dental equipment pays for itself. In the long run, quality compressors last longer, with less frequent repair and lower service costs.

Founded in 1990, Finex was set up in order to continue the development and manufacture of ion exchange resins, which was initially started by Finnsugar.
Since then, our product range has expanded remarkably, and our expertise in ion exchange resin technology has led to entirely new products and applications.
Finex is based in Kotka, located on the south coast of Finland, 130km east of Helsinki.
Powdered resins have a number of uses in water treatment for several industries. They form a solid basis for many applications, from nuclear power plants to more conventional uses.
They can be delivered as a separate cation or anion, as well as a ready-made mixture with the cation/anion ratio optimised specifically for your application.
One of the most important properties for powdered resin mixtures is floc-formation. When the resin particle size falls below 50 microns, the attraction forces between cation and anion increase considerably. In an aqueous suspension, they form a bulky and porous floc, occupying three to eight times the volume of the original resin. The floc volume depends on the cation/anion ratio.
The ion exchange kinetics of powdered resin is up to 100 times faster than bead resins, and the floc which they form also acts as an electrostatic filter.
Due to its porosity, it can retain even the most highly divided colloids, insoluble corrosion products (crud) and charged particles (including ions). Removal of these particles is essential, as they cause local deposit in steam-raising circuits, which acts as a starting point for corrosion and damage.
Powdered resins have excellent coating properties on pre-coat filter units, and allow water to pass at high-velocity, without incurring any serious pressure loss.
Powdered resins work as a pre-coat, either alone or together with inert fibrous material.
Bead resins are available as a weak or strong base anion, as well as weak or strong acid cation. They are typically used as a final stage for desalination of feed water in different types of cation and anion filter combinations, or mixed bed filters.
Macroporous anion resins can also be used as a scavenger resin, collecting decomposed organic matter from the water.
Mixed bed resins can be delivered in a cation/anion ratio as required by our clients. Other properties of the resins can also be adjusted to suit the intended client application.
Finex indicator is typically a gel-type, strong acid cation exchanger. During the manufacturing process, the resin is injected with a special indicator dye which reacts to the acid within the beads. Therefore, the resin in hydrogen-form will exhibit a purple colour, indicating a local acidic environment. When the resin is exhausted, the local bead acidity decreases and the indicator signals the resulting ‘pH rise’ with a colour change from purple to yellow.
The indicator dye used is very resistant against wash-out. The resin is delivered freshly regenerated and washed for optimal performance. It is designed for water quality control applications in power plants and comparable facilities.
Anion and mixed bed indicator resins are also available.

We are so excited to welcome Latoya Hawthorne-Stiner to our team as our first store manager! Read below to learn more about her story and why she loves working for The Little Market.
How did you hear about The Little Market?
I used to work at Downtown Women’s Center, an organization that works to end homelessness for women in Los Angeles. I worked with the social enterprise team and workforce development. The Little Market became partners with our social enterprise in 2014. The women in the job training programs makes spa products that The Little Market sells!
What is your favorite thing about The Little Market so far?
My favorite thing about The Little Market is the mission. I love that Lauren and Hannah founded this organization, and I love that there’s an educational component to the organization and that it makes people feel good to give back and become more conscious when shopping.
What’s your favorite product in the store and why?
This may be a bit biased, but I love the soaps! They’re made by formerly homeless women in Los Angeles at Downtown Women’s Center. And as a woman with sensitive skin, I’ve used these soaps and I have not needed to change since I started. … My favorite is the coconut scent!
If you had to pick out a gift for your best friend from the store, what would you give her?
Everything is a perfect gift in the store, but we have SO many candles that can be customized with a lovely phrase. So I would go with a candle and a PURPOSEfull TOTE!
What other stores are you loving in the Palisades Village?
I’m very much so obsessed with Vintage Grocers (I’m a huge foodie)! I have yet to explore all the stores … there’s so many! I’m excited to see them all.
What does your dream day look like in Los Angeles?
Real food, vibrant community, authentic conversations with passionate people, live music, the sun, the sand, the ocean — connecting with nature!
How do you feel to be the store manager of the first brick-and-mortar store for The Little Market, and what do you hope to share with customers?
Being the store manager of The Little Market is an absolute dream! My mission in life is to empower women through social entrepreneurship, so it only felt perfect to be a part of the team! I hope to continue to share the mission as well as educating customers about the 66 artisan groups we work with. It’s exciting to see all the products and be able to touch them. Of course customers can read about the artisans online when they’re purchasing, but there’s a special connection when you’re able to see the product in person, the perfect imperfections of each unique item that’s handmade and being able to have someone explain the techniques of each artisan group — it’s quite amazing!
We’re so happy to have you on the team, Latoya! Check back soon for more updates from our team and our first brick-and-mortar store.
Beautifully scripted. Latoya, you’ve sent me several scents and they’re not only nicely scented, but leaves my skin feeling radiantly soft. Congrats Latoya, on such a worthy venture. Women moves and shakes the market place. Give a woman a dollar and she can make it stretch. Women can maximize and increase any product line, once they’re in love with it. Bravo o your appointment and good luck. I cannot wait to purchase some of these wonderful products.
Latoya helped me complete my purchase when I came for the store opening. She, along with the other ladies, was very helpful, friendly, and made my experience wonderful!
