DC area USDA employees help feed hungry people in their community
Last Friday marked the final collection day for the Feds Feed Families, a government-wide summer food drive led by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Typically, summer is the slowest time for food bank donations, but the needs of hungry people stay the same throughout the year. Therefore, OPM set a goal for D.C. area federal employees to donate 1 million pounds of food over the summer to make sure that the Capital Area Food Bank, stays well stocked with food for needy people through this difficult time of year.
USDA employees throughout the D.C. metro area responded enthusiastically to this opportunity to help the less fortunate members of our local community. For example, some of the employees at USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) had a contest to see who in their office could bring in the most food. The results were amazing, with four gigantic boxes filled in the space of a few days!
As the final collection day approached, all hands were on deck to promote awareness of the event among the USDA employee community. Last week, Secretary Vilsack sent an email to all USDA employees that included a video appeal from Deputy Secretary Merrigan. On Friday morning, countless boxes full of non-perishable foods and other essential items were transported from all over USDA's DC area buildings to loading docks to await pickup. The DC National Guard then delivered the food to the Capital Area Food Bank.
USDA staff was proud to do its part to make this food drive a huge success, and help out the neediest members of the Washington area community. In fact, this food drive is just one of the ways USDA employees have participated in President Obama's United We Serve. United We Serve initiative, which calls upon all Americans to serve their communities in these difficult times. As they look toward the future, USDA employees look forward to continuing to help their fellow Americans "every day, in every way!"

The pin in the board engages with these slots in the inner layer of the board. So there is no hole though the trunk. And the board can be lifted right out of the case by removing the thwart.

NEW YORK — Six months after Superstorm Sandy devastated parts of the U.S. Northeast, investigations are surging as government and law enforcement agencies pursue crackdowns on suspected corruption and other wrongdoing that took place in the aftermath of the storm.
In the latest enforcement action, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced Thursday that 25 service stations in the New York City area had reached monetary settlements totaling nearly $170,000 with the state for price gouging motorists after the late October storm. Four others have been hit with lawsuits for similar violations, he said.
The legal action targeted stations that raised retail prices as much as 100% after Sandy knocked out electricity and disrupted fuel deliveries to many competitors, forcing motorists to wait in the longest gas lines since the 1970s.
Stressing that most service stations complied with state pricing laws, Schneiderman said, "We want to send a message to the small minority of folks who tried to make a fast buck with illegal conduct that that will not be tolerated."
"There are dozens of other investigations still underway," said Schneiderman, whose office is also probing awards of storm cleanup contracts and the companies hired for that work.
Similarly, New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa's office has sued 24 service stations and hotels for alleged price gouging during the state of emergency declared after Sandy. In March, Chiesa announced the formation of a statewide fraud working group to coordinate investigations and prosecution of suspected Sandy-related criminal and civil fraud.
The action by the states comes as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security inspector general examines how millions of dollars in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds have been spent on Sandy-related response and recovery efforts.
Separately, the district attorneys in Long Island's two suburban counties east of New York City are investigating how storm-recovery contracts were awarded in their jurisdictions and the performance of the companies hired to do the work.

After defeating the Kanab Cowboys on Wednesday night 74-58 at Kanab, the Emery High Spartan boys basketball team traveled to Price and returned home with a loss in a close, hard-fought game with Carbon High. Final score was 67-66. These two former region partners are in separate regions this season and so the game pitting the two schools was on the schedule earlier than in past seasons. And this game, like most games in this rivalry, was as good if not better than expected. There is a return engagement in Castle Dale on Jan. 9 between these two teams.
Emery took the first quarter lead at 12-11 as the two schools battled inside and out. Carbon then led at the half 27-26. The Dinos had seven players that scored in the first half and were led by the six outside points of Clint Finkbiner and Beau Rich and the six inside points of Kenny Seals. Emery was led in the first half by Tanner Procarione's 11 points and Nevin Jensen with seven points. Emery had four players that scored in the first half.
Carbon came out of the locker room on fire and took the early lead and eventually built a 12-point lead over Emery. At this point everything Carbon did seemed right as most shots went in the hoop and the ball seemed to bounce Carbon's way every time. Just as most Emery fans were feeling a little despair, junior Ty Benson came into the game and promptly hit two 3-pointers to cut Carbon's lead in half and give Emery renewed hope of winning this game. Carbon led 49-43 after three periods.
In the fourth quarter, Emery fought hard enough and took the lead for the first time since midway through the second quarter at 60-59. Carbon never panicked at this point and promptly scored to regain the lead. With the score tied at 66-66 and 8.5 seconds left in regulation, Carbon called time out. When play renewed, Carbon's Clint Finkbiner attacked the basket with the ball and was fouled by Emery with 4.5 seconds left. Finkbiner made the first free throw to give Carbon the lead and then intentionally missed the second free throw. Nevin Jensen took the ball and drove the length of the floor but did not get off a shot before time expired and Carbon had their first victory in this series in quite awhile.
Finkbiner led Carbon with 18 points with Daniel Peczuh scoring 12 points and Brock Morley scoring 11 points. Kenny Seals scored nine points, Beau Rich scored eight points, Colin Moynier scored six points, Justin Child scored two points and Chase Sillitoe scored one point.
For Emery, Tanner Procarione led the way with 23 points and Nevin Jensen added 17 points. Mark Guymon also finished in double figures with 10 points.Ty Benson scored six points, Derek Tuttle and TJ Fortner scored four points each and Kashe Potter scored two points.
At Kanab, Procarione led the way with 22 points followed by Jensen with 20 points as the two seniors spread their points throughout the game. Emery led 17-12 at the end of the first quarter and 34-28 at the half. Emery outscored Kanab 15-13 in the third period to continue building their lead.
Procarione finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds including five offensive rebounds along with two steals. Jensen had 20 points including going 12 of 14 at the free throw line along with eight assists, three rebounds and a steal. Colton Barnett scored 11 points and had eight rebounds, two blocks and a steal.
Mark Guymon scored seven points, also had eight rebounds along with six assists and two steals. Tuttle scored five points, TJ Furner scored four points, Jake Fortner scored three points and Colter Moore scored two points.
Emery's next three games feature two of the best in the state. Emery will host Hurricane this Thursday night and will play Wasatch at home on Dec. 22. Emery also will travel to Canyon View in Cedar City this Friday night.

Australian designer/blogger Jody Phan from Don't Dance Naked shows off her easy-to-execute summer outfit: a pair of ultra-light wash denim cut-off shorts and a cropped top in black and white thick stripes. Her accessories include a bangin' gold watch, red baseball cap, and clean white sneakers. We love her cool-casual approach to street wear, and you can rock it too! Show less skin by layering a one piece leotard beneath the top, or add a roomy knit cardigan. Add modesty to the shorts by layering a pair of lace biker shorts, or rock the whole thing as is (as soon as the weather warms up)!

Let me begin by stating that I came up with this theory after a question I had originally posted on the Naruto Ask a Question thread and is a direct result of the rather thought provoking reply's that I received. Therefore I shall begin by giving accreditation and reference them properly.
Original post
It seems that the general consensus is that the reason the Uchiha do not possess the Rinnegan and possess the Sharingan instead is because they lack the other half of the sage's power which was gifted to the Senju instead.
Yet if this were true then how did Nagato develop the Rinnegan? Sure he has some relation to the SO6P due to the fact that he is an Uzumaki, and they being distant relatives of the Senju means that he does possess Senju DNA, however he would still ultimately lack the Uchiha half, because they are the only ones that gained the sages Dojutsu capabilities.
This is where my theory Begins
One could say that Madara was lying or that he simply did something to Nagato's eyes when he was a child, but why would Madara lie about something as trivial as this if he was going to take the eyes anyway I don't see a reason for him to gloat about something he didn't do, and if Madara possessed the Rinnegan beforehand why not simply keep it for himself?
And then there is this
This clearly show's that prior to Nagato's parents dying the Rinnegan had not been awakened yet. So how could Madara claim to have given Nagato the Rinnegan without transplanting it, and even know that he possessed the potential to gain it in the first place? The only logical answer I have been able to come up with is that he could possibly be the illegitimate child of Madara Uchiha himself.
Under these circumstances it seems logical that Nagato (being an Uzumaki) could have been born with the Rinnegan by possessing both Senju and Uchiha blood. Also Madara would have been aware of Nagato long before anyone and be able to appropriately claim that he gave Nagato his Rinnegan. As for claiming it was his this could well be in Madara's nature as he claimed his own brothers eyes for his own long ago, and it is still unknown if this was done under willing circumstances.
I think it's possible that the Rinnegan could awaken much like MS by needing a tragedy to occur. Therefore I think it's possible that Madara could have placed Nagato with a surrogate family only to have them killed later for the purpose of awakening the Rinnegan. (It's possible that he could have tricked them into believing the child was theirs by using Genjutsu, or controlled them like he did the former Mizukage Yagura.)
I think this theory provides a plausible explanation of how the Rinnegan could have been brought back into the Narutoverse after the sage divided his powers between his sons. Though I look forward to any input.

Fiorentina boost Euro hopes
A review of this weekend's action so far in the Italian Serie A.
- Related Content
Fiorentina rejoined the hunt for a Champions League place with a resounding 4-1 win over Inter Milan at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Two goals apiece from Adem Ljajic and Stevan Jovetic earned the Viola all three points in arguably their most impressive performance of the season.
Vincenzo Montella's side gave Inter no chance at all in a totally one-sided game, although Antonio Cassano did restore some pride for Inter with a fine consolation goal in the 86th minute.
That was not enough to prevent Inter from ending the weekend behind their city rivals AC Milan, who they meet in the second Derby della Madonnina of the season next Sunday.
Napoli missed a golden opportunity to close the gap on leaders Juventus to just two points as plucky Sampdoria forced a goalless draw at the San Paolo.
Goalkeeper Sergio Romero was in particularly inspired form as Delio Rossi's men claimed another valuable point in their mission to book a second season in Serie A, with Samp spurning several chances to win through young striker Mauro Icardi.
Napoli's forward line suffered from a rare lack of cutting edge and ended the day four points behind Juve, who were surprised by a 1-0 defeat to Roma on Saturday night.
Udinese lost ground in the race for Europe after two gilt-edged chances to force a draw went begging at the end of a 1-0 defeat at Genoa.
Davide Ballardini earned his second win since replacing Luigi Del Neri as Genoa boss when Juraj Kucka nodded the hosts ahead in the first half.
Udinese had won four games from six to finally reach seventh spot last week but both Mehdi Benatia and Alexander Merkel were guilty of missing easy chances in stoppage time, allowing Catania and Roma to climb above the Friulians for the time being.
Two goals from Marco Sau lifted Cagliari away from the Serie A relegation zone and left Pescara in real danger as the Sardinians won 2-0 at the Stadio Adriatico.
After a tight first half in which both sides took a cautious approach, understandably given the stakes, Cagliari emerged with more conviction and Sau struck twice early in the second half to earn the points.
Pescara ended the game with 10 men with Vladimir Weiss sent off in stoppage time as the home fans made their feelings heard.
An 87th-minute goal by Valter Birsa guided Torino against Atalanta to a 2-1 victory as they won for the first time in four games.
Alessio Cerci had put Torino ahead before German Denis made it 1-1 with a penalty in the 75th minute.
Catania returned to contention for a European place by edging a third consecutive home victory as they beat Bologna 1-0.
Sergio Almiron, who played on despite suffering an early knock, broke the deadlock just before half-time and the Elefanti held on to wrest seventh place back from Roma.
On Saturday, Francesco Totti won his personal battle with Gianluigi Buffon as Roma did a favour to their city rivals Lazio, and themselves, with a 1-0 win over leaders Juventus.
Totti's goal in the 58th minute was worthy of winning any match, and it left Buffon with no chance.
Miralem Pjanic's direct free-kick attempt was blocked by a Juve defender and the ball fell to Totti 25 yards from goal.
He did not think twice as he made perfect contact with the ball, rendering Buffon's dive unnecessary as the net was already rippling before the Italy number one even got near it.
Palermo moved off the foot of the table thanks to a 1-1 draw at Chievo in a game of two contrasting halves at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.
The Rosaneri took the lead in the fifth minute through Mauro Formica and it was a one-sided opening 45 minutes in which Palermo failed only to add a second goal.
Chievo responded well in the second half and found an equaliser through Cyril Thereau's penalty, but they were unable to find a winner despite creating the better chances.
On Friday night, Mario Balotelli scored for the third game in a row since joining AC Milan to help the hosts win 2-1 against Parma at the San Siro.
An own goal from Gabriel Paletta gave the Rossoneri the lead in the first half before Balotelli netted his fourth goal in just three games for his new club.
Nicola Sansone scored a consolation for Parma deep in stoppage time but there was no time for the visitors to scramble what would have been an ill-deserved second.

Once you have your robot hand
how do you get the wires out of the servo motor
I got the red wire out successfully, and when I put it into 5V, it felt pretty loose. Is it supposed to feel that way?
Why did you remove the wire from the socket? What do you intent to attach it to?
Well normally at this stage of your project, you'd be more likely to use some breadboarding wire to stick into the servo's socket and then attach those wires to whatever is going to power the servo - which should not be the arduino - it can't provide sufficient current for more than one, if that.Later you might wire it up using a male connector into the servo's socket so that it's easier to replace the servo from your robot if it is damaged, or solder it all together if you decide you don't need that luxury.

Keynote spells out how some retailers can improve mobile site performance.
Chain retailer W.W. Grainger Inc. topped the Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index for the week ending March 10. Its mobile commerce web site home page loaded on average in 4.30 seconds and it did so completely and successfully 99.46% of the time, reports mobile and web performance management firm Keynote. Weighting and then combining load time and success rate give Grainger an index score of 938 out of 1,000.
TV retailer HSN Inc. came in second with a load time of 5.23 seconds and a success rate of 99.56% for a score of 931. Barnes & Noble was third with a load time of 5.47 seconds and a success rate of 99.46% for a score of 909.
Toolfetch.com LLC came in fourth with a load time of 3.24 seconds and a success rate of 99.02% for a score of 895. And Target Corp. came in fifth with a load time of 8.36 seconds and a success rate of 99.67% for a score of 871.
Grainger is No. 76 in the Internet Retailer Mobile 400, HSN No. 14, BarnesandNoble.com Inc. No. 31, Toolfetch.com No. 248 and Target No. 34.
The index average load time is 9.67 seconds, the average success rate is 98.82% and the average score is 701.
There are opportunities for performance improvement that some retailers on the index can exploit, says Ken Harker, mobile performance expert at Keynote.
"Managing third-party additions to a mobile web page is critical to managing the consumer's experience," he says. "Third-party tags, which typically require a server call, often load before critical page content. This includes services like marketing analytics and social networking buttons loading before key images necessary for the user impression of the page. Another issue is the number of domains in total. Too many domains may forcefirst-time site visitors to do as many as 10 DNS look-ups, which on 3G wireless networks can each take 350-600 milliseconds or longer."
A DNS look-up links a web site's alphabetical address, such as Retailer.com, to its lengthy numerical address, which web users never see.
"The best strategy for a fast mobile browser user experience is to limit the number of overall domains on a page, including the number of third-party domains, and to ensure that all third-party tags load only after critical page content," Harker says. He advises limiting internal domains to two and limiting third-party domains to two.
Click here and then click on Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index Part 1 and Part 2 to see this week's complete results for all 30 retailers on the index.
Keynote Systems measures 30 representative m-commerce sites exclusively for Internet Retailer. The sites include merchants in multiple categories and channels, and of multiple sizes, ranging from such giants as Amazon.com Inc. to midsized retailers like Toolfetch.com LLC. Keynote tests the sites in the index every hour Monday through Sunday from 8 a.m. through midnight Eastern time, emulating three different smartphones on three different wireless networks: Apple Inc.'s iPhone 4 on AT&T, the HTC Evo on Sprint and the Droid X on Verizon. The HTC Evo and the Droid X run Google Inc.'s Android operating system. Keynote runs the tests in New York and San Francisco.
Keynote combines a site's load time and success rate, equally weighted, into a single score. Given that both performance and availability are important, the score reflects the overall quality of the home page; a higher score indicates better performance. Scores also reflect how close sites are to each other in overall quality. The index average score is the midpoint among all the sites' scores.
Keynote is ranked No. 2 among web performance monitoring firms in Internet Retailer's Leading Vendors to the Top 1000 E-retailers guide.

i think kishi knows that the readers wont buy into any more et episodes. undoing the dead demon seal is a pretty epuc triumph for orochimaru and reviving the four hokage is a definitive feat i hope delivers the finality to the et jutsu's use. only the sage or his sons would be worthy candidates for justifiable continued use of et but at that point it upsets so much balance and the manga has been wobbling frequently ever since madara was still just a "mystery coffin'.
if the one ring and its 1-3 tomoe were described as 'the that reflects feelings" then how does that change our understanding of subsequent rings and tomoe? complete formation is 3 rings and 3 tomoe. is each ring a reflection something special within the divine or human condition?
it's interesting that the sharingan may grow potentially to rinnegan but does not go through 2 more rings and 6 more tomoe to get there.
it seems the first generation shinobi undetstood things much differently than naruto's and even the sannin generation.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is heading to the Mideast on an emergency diplomatic trip Tuesday. She will attempt to end the latest Israeli-Palestinian fighting. (Nov 20)
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was on her way to the Middle East on Tuesday as the U.S. urgently tries to contain the blood conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Clinton hastily left Cambodia, where she had joined President Obama for summit meetings with Asian leaders. She will make three stops, meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Palestinian officials in Ramallah, West Bank, and Egyptian leaders in Cairo, according to State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
Nuland said Obama had spoken to Netanyahu and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Clinton, she said, will build on those talks to encourage "de-escalation of violence and a durable outcome that ends the rocket attacks on Israeli cities and towns and restores a broader calm."
"She will emphasize the United States' interest in a peaceful outcome that protects and enhances Israel's security and regional stability; that can lead to improved conditions for the civilian residents of Gaza; and that can reopen the path to fulfill the aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis for two states living in peace and security," Nuland said.
Clinton's trip marks the Obama administration's most forceful engagement in the week-long conflict that has killed more than 100 Palestinians and three Israelis, with hundreds more wounded. While the U.S. has backed Israel's right to defend itself against rocket fire from Gaza, the Obama administration has warned its ally against pursuing a ground assault that would further escalate the violence and could dramatically increase casualties on both sides.
Clinton has a major goal during her shuttle diplomacy: Avoid an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza.
The White House doesn't put it that directly, but has made clear it wants a peaceful solution to the latest violence in the region.
Deputy National Security adviser Ben Rhodes -- speaking to reporters in Cambodia -- said the administration respects Israel's right to defend itself against rocket attacks. He said, "we think that Israel will make its own decisions about the military operations and decisions that it undertakes."
Rhodes added: "However, at the same time, we believe that Israelis -- like the United States, like other countries -- would prefer to see their interest met diplomatically and peacefully. As the President said the other day, an Israeli (ground) operation of that nature would bring with a great cost to Palestinians in Gaza, but also to Israelis, because inevitably it would involve Israelis casualties."
Obama and Clinton have consulted about the widening crisis throughout their three-day tour of Southeast Asia, their final joint trip before Clinton leaves her post as the top U.S. diplomat. They spoke again about the situation Tuesday morning, aides said, and made the decision for her to travel to the region.
Obama and Clinton each have held multiple telephone calls with their counterparts in Israel and Egypt, which is at the center of negotiations to quell the violence. Because the U.S. considers Hamas a terrorist organization and prohibits contact between its members and American officials, it is relying on Egypt, as well as Turkey and Qatar, to deliver its message to the Hamas leadership in Gaza.
Israel and Hamas say they are open to diplomatic mediation efforts being led by Egypt, but they are far apart in their demands.
Hamas wants Israel to halt all attacks on Gaza and lift tight restrictions on trade and movement in and out of the territory that have been in place since Hamas seized Gaza by force in 2007. Israel demands an end to rocket fire from Gaza and a halt to weapons smuggling into Gaza through tunnels under the border with Egypt.
The widening conflict has threatened to overshadow Obama's three-country tour of Southeast Asia, his first overseas trip after winning re-election. The president, after a marathon day that took him from Thailand to Burma to Cambodia, worked the phones with Mideast leaders into the early hours of Tuesday morning, aides said.
The White House said Obama will be working the phones as he travels aboard Air Force One, returning to Washington from the conference in Cambodia before dawn on Wednesday.
He called Morsi on Tuesday, encouraging his efforts to de-escalate the violence in Gaza.
Rhodes provided a readout of the Obama-Morsi phone call:
"It was an opportunity for them to continue the discussions they've been having and to speak in advance of Secretary Clinton's arrival in the region. President Obama underscored once again the importance of working for a de-escalation to the conflict in Gaza," he said.
"He commended President Morsi's efforts to pursue a de-escalation. And he also underscored that President Morsi's efforts reinforce the important role that President Morsi and Egypt play on behalf of regional security and the pursuit of broader peace between the Palestinians and Israelis."
The call lasted nearly 30 minutes, and it was the third time in the last 24 hours the U.S. and Egyptian leaders have spoken.
"It indicates that Egypt plays a very important role in this process," Rhodes said.
He added that any agreement must include an end to rocket fire into Israel: "Without an end to rocket fire into Israel from Gaza, Israel can't be assured of the security of its people."

Levi's Fall 2011 Press Preview on March 30th yielded some decidedly urban-friendly looks for the guys (commuting cyclist menswear, anyone?) and solid fall fashion separates like cut-off fitted denim shorts that end at the knee, classic denim jackets, cuffed cordoroys, and basic knit staples, some of which were inspired by the earthy South-Western landscape. The preview got a dose of quirk with an appearance by The bumby's, Brooklyn's latest performance art duo who sit in the corner and type "fair and honest appraisals" of attendees appearances as they are approached. Levi's continues to stress their anti-sandblasting finish policy and their search for more eco-friendly denim innovations, while producing quality denim and clothing with substance.

Glad I Bought ItI have used just about every hair removal method out there and used the Emjoi optiMini Epilator for quite a few years until it finally broke on me recently. I did quite a bit of research and finally decided on this model. I like it a lot. It is a million times faster than my old model, which is amazing and has drastically reduced the amount of time it takes to do a large area like my legs. On the negative side it is a little large and I think I'll probably buy a smaller model at some point for areas like my face. I didn't find that it is any louder or breaks any more hairs than other epilators and the price is actually really cheap when you compare it to other methods like waxing or electrolysis. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.Jan 24, 2010Erin / Seattle, WA USA

Not Worth The MoneyThis is my first and only epilator. Because it was so expensive, I assumed I was getting a good quality epilator. I first tried it out on my legs, and it hurt a little bit, but then I didnt feel it anymore. The most painful part was that it didnt get all my hair. After trying it out for a few more times, I still feel stumble on my legs and they are nowhere near as smooth as when I shaved. I still got bumps, very similar to razor bumps, even though I use the recommended salicylic acid that is suppose to prevent all that. It worked fine on my arms and thats the only good thing I have to say about it. I tried it under my arms, and it hurt like hell, but once again it did not get all the hair. Definitely not worth the pain, if it leaves patches. I think youre better off buying a less expensive epilator.Jun 27, 2009Elizabeth / Austin, Tx

This Epilator Is Only Worth $20well.......at first i thought the price determines how the product works but it aint that in this case. Gosh.....this thing sucks sucks sucks! The 72 tweezers work way less than a 20 tweezers epilator i used to have. I glided it over the are 1 time, then 2, then 3, and keep going to the point my arm hurted, but hairs were still there. So sad! My final word: "This epilator is not worth it!"Jun 27, 2009Ntl / WA

Pretty Goodthis epilator is my first and frankly i was expecting more from it than I really got. It doesnt remove all the hair right away, you really have to spend a lot of time going over the same spot to get all the hair, and even then there will be left some. But it does work and really doesnt hurt much, except for the armpits.. all in all its good and i would recommend it.. not sure if its worth the full price though.Jun 2, 2009Nancy

Satisfied New Epilator UserI just recieved my emjoi today and went to the bathroom to use it right away. Very noisy, which is intimidating...But, it does the job. I did my legs, feet, under arms and I even did myself a brazillian. Hurt a bit, but it happens so fast that it doesnt even hurt that much. I was looking into wax kits and I was currently shaving almost every day, but the cost just kept adding up and shaving can cause irritations at times. Also, good because its ANTIBACTERIAL, So when hair is being removed and may be specs of blood, lessens chances of infection occuring. So in the long run this was the best bang for my buck and I love this product. Only down fall is the loud noise and that its not cordless, but it does have a separate head that is optional to buy for shaving away any stubble that may have been left behind. I have not yet bought one, but am planning on it. It will be great for travel....OVERALL, LOVING IT AND WOULD BE TRULY DEVASTATED IF I EVER SHOuLD LOSE IT.May 15, 2009Tchina / San Leandro, C A

Touchable SkinLove this little baby. It grabs the smallest hairs. For years i lived with a shadow across my face. Now i just need to find a product to get rid of any ingrown hairs that pop up. This thing really hurts on the lower legs. the thicker the hair the more painful. Made me smile though and I let my husband touch my face for the first time in forever. Worth every cent to me and Im poor folk.Apr 26, 2009Nat / Cortez, Co

"I love all Italian Shoemakers sandals and these are no exception! True to size, comfortable and cute with just enough but not too much of a wedge heel"

"These shoes are beautiful. They are very dressy looking and I ordered them in both, the bronze and the silver. They have a pretty jeweled medallion on them that sparkles and really sets this sandal off. You can use them for dressing up and they look great with a pair of jeans as well. As always, the Italian Shoemakers have made another beautiful sandal that is very comfy as well. Thanks again, DSW!"

About the Legend
As its name suggests, Éphémère is an ephemeral ale that comes and goes with the seasons. It was developed as a series to feature a seasonal fruit in a refreshing, lightly spiced white ale. The label depicts a fairy, an ephemeral spirit associated with fruits picked at the peak of ripeness during each harvest season. She first appeared in the spring of 2001 and has since been celebrated on a variety of seasonal fruit ales featuring apple, cranberry, blackcurrant, peach, and raspberry. The apple version, first created in 2002, is without a doubt the most popular version. It is the only one to be distributed year-round and sold in the United States.

Kent Barnds, our friend at Augustana College, is the Vice President of Enrollment, Communication and Planning. He supervises our college's admissions recruitment efforts; in his former position, he ran this operation directly. So, as a registered Republican in Iowa, Kent has a unique take on how his fellow Iowans receive the deluge of media appeals from prospective presidential candidates in advance of the January 3rd caucuses.
He recently blogged on the experience, from his unique perspective, for The Washington Post. The Denizens share that piece with you. It's an intriguing look at political marketing from the perspective of someone who is both the target audience and a perpetrator of not dissimilar marketing strategies. Enjoy!
In recent years, it has become trendy for college presidents to temporarily live in a residence hall to gain insight into what their students experience and, on occasion, to develop a degree of sympathy for their short-term neighbors.
In the last few weeks, I feel like I have accidentally stumbled upon a similar experience: I am an enrollment professional at Augustana College, a small liberal arts college in Illinois. And I am a registered Republican living in Iowa who is on the receiving end of hard-core — at times really annoying and inconvenient — recruiting by virtually every candidate seeking the nomination of the Republican Party.

Bleasdale, which has 50 hectares under production, produces around 100,000 cases in total. The principal varietals are Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Malbec and the white varietal Verdelho. All the red wines produce the distinctive style of upfront fruit with a soft textural feel to them.
They also produce in limited quantities a red blend that is named Frank Potts after the founder and uses all five Bordeaux varietals. It is the winery's flagship wine and for the money represents one of the better values in all of Australia. It is definitely a statement wine and illustrates the high quality of fruit that comes out of the Langhorne Creek area.
Although Bleasdale is firmly connected to its past, it is nonetheless forward-looking with its eye on the 21st century. A new cellar is just now being completed with state-of-the-art technology, alongside a new hospitality area. The old part of the winery is on the National Trust and National Heritage register.

He was investigated over spending £287,000 over five years using a council credit card but was never charged.

We've been keeping a pretty close eye on what n-space and Square Enix have been up to with Heroes of Ruin. The initial gameplay videos and feature listings all looked promising, but we've been misled by the promise of a decent portable action-role playing game before. Many times. Most times. With dozens of hours in the can, does Heroes of Ruin buck the trend? Let's take a look...
First, the basic premise. You choose a character from a fairly familiar roster of rogues (there's a melee guy, a mage type, and so on), then set about traversing a top-down world. You've got to right wrongs, obliterate hordes of enemies, and - of course - find awesome loot to make you more effective at the first two things. It's the basic action-RPG setup, and should be instantly familiar to anyone who's played a Diablo game or one of the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance titles, or any of a million others.
Things get interesting right out of the gate, as you realise you can play either online or off; take that, Diablo III. Your characters are the same either way, too, so you can happily continue to progress with any of your characters even if you're on a plane.
Online, of course, you can also play with others - complete with Diablo's excellent drop-in, drop-out style multiplayer.
The combat of the game isn't likely to win it many awards, but it's arguably as good as any of its peers, without reaching towards anything like the innovation of, say, Kingdoms of Amalur. As you level up, you can unlock skills which you can then map to any of the face buttons (excluding B, which is locked to your basic attack). Whack a skill at an appropriate time and you'll perform the corresponding action. It's more visceral than clicking on things, but it's not likely to thrill your action-oriented gamer types.
The game is split into four acts, with each act locked into a type of environment. There's jungle stuff, icy plains, and so on. Each act is made up of multiple level layouts, but in reality their variety is slight; none is particularly memorable, but they're all fun to explore - enabled to no small degree by the solid use of the bottom screen as a map.
Monsters are also quite decent, if nothing particularly exciting; the sock-puppet boss early on was a low-light, while the spiders that lower themselves onto the screen - while familiar - are a fun implementation, especially when seen in three deeee.
The loot, which is the point of this type of game, is - mostly - great. Finding items provides exactly the thrill fans of this type of game are seeking, and the simplified stats display makes choosing upgrades as easy as you'd want it to be (there's still an element of hard choices to be made, but that's what you want!) The only place it falls a bit flat is the fact that your choices make only a small visual difference to your character. If you're expecting Diablo III or World of Warcraft-like fanciness in the graphical variety, you'll need to lower your expectation a few notches or you risk being disappointed.
Otherwise, visually, it does what it needs to do. It doesn't look particularly amazing, and there is definitely some slowdown, but you can tell where the bad guys are and your advanced spell and other types of attacks generally look pretty swish mid beat-down. It's fair to say the sound is similarly present, if nothing to get too excited about.
The quests, while never straying far from the familiar, admirably tie together the narrative. It's hard to imagine anyone getting too excited about the lore of this particular universe (or the universe itself), but it's also clear that the developers focused on the important stuff: the game systems. And the narrative itself, familiar as it may be, is more than good enough to tie it all together.
The online implementation, on the other hand, is super good. Not only do you get the aforementioned drop-in, drop-out multiplayer (letting you hack away while you wait for people to join your game), but there's also an excellent daily and weekly quest system. With it, by performing any number of non-narrative tasks, you can earn special currency that lets you buy powerful items from a vendor (much like the justice points system in WoW). It's outstanding, and a surprise inclusion.
If it was possible to exceed "10" for value, rest assured Heroes of Ruin would earn itself top score - no matter the theoretical maximum. If you like loot-em-ups, and you like the idea of having one in your pocket, you'll be hard pressed to find anything better than this. Yes, there's room for improvement (particularly in the presentation department), but Heroes of Ruin is more than just a building block towards whatever's next; it's a brilliant, addictive, compelling experience in its own right. Highly recommended.

Rated 2.7 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Chens Cute but... if it could only stay off your shoulder as seen in the photos then it would be better! I find that this blouse tends to be the type that you'll need to keep pulling down just to achieve that look. The print is cute though and the fabric is soft. Also worth noting...this is a see-through blouse and you'll need to wear something under it. June 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by msericnorthman Nice top for summer This is a cute top...FYI, it is very sheer. You'll need a cami underneath. It can be dressed down or up. June 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Hawkeye Not worth the money I'm not sure what is happening with the quality of bebe's clothes, but I purchased this shirt and had to send it back for a refund. The shirt is see-through, very thin and doesn't really hang off the shoulders much. I wouldn't waste the money. June 13, 2013
