This is kind of an "non-traditional" question , but have some other website visitors asked you how obtain the menu bar to appear such as you've got it? I also have a blog and am really planning to change around the theme, however I am terrified to death to mess with it for fear of the major search engines punishing me. I'm very a new comer to doing this ...so i am just not optimistic exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here Hi.

In a press conference this afternoon, Personal Care Products Council spokesperson Kathleen Dezio described the Story of Cosmetics as a “harsh and unscientific shock-umentary” with “repugnant and absurd” charges about the health risks of cosmetics. They unveiled their own five point plan for cosmetics regulation reform last week and say that the Safe Cosmetics Act goes too far. “If the proposed new safety standards for personal care products were applied to other categories at FDA, they would ban a glass of water, vegetables, and most prescription and non-prescription drugs,” said John Hurson, EVP at the Personal Care Products Council.

Then... just before anyone digs in, say this: "You know, I've learned a lot from Mr. Bailey. I've learned that just like salt... and 1,4 dioxane, human feces are ok as a food additive... so long as it's in small quantities. (Handing him a silver fork) Mr. Bailey... your dessert tonight has only a very, very small quantity of excrement in it. I'm sure you won't mind."

Thank you Stacy for all your hard work. I try very hard to find the best products for my friends, family, and followers (you can check out my natural cosmetics blog at theskindetective.com), but it is very, very hard to do on our own. It's time we had more advocacy for ourselves beyond the few do-gooders in the industry. California's impending Green Chemistry law is another amazing step in the right direction.
