A little over a year ago I reviewed Nero 9, and well it's got over 100 comments on it and not all that good honestly. To this date I've had no issues with the program but apparently many others have, why I'm not sure.

Installation took me 17 minutes total on my computer which has a Corei5 750 CPU in it running Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
Once installation was complete I ended up with five new icons on my desktop:
Once installation was complete I ran the updater and got a few updates, added a few more minutes to the total time. I recently checked for updates again and found more to be had. It looks as though Nero is very much supporting this version with constant updates, which is a good thing of course.
On the start menu you'll find links to all of the programs that come installed and a link to the instruction manuals.
You'll most likely want to start with StartSmart which is an interface that has links to everything in it and actually has programs built right in for copying and ripping. StartSmart has quite a bit to see, across the top you'll find five choices for Music, Video+Photo, Data, Tools and Knowledge Center. On the left side you'll see the shortcuts for Data Burning, Audio Burning, Audio Ripping and Copy Disc.
Here's the left side shortcuts, Audio Burning has three choices actually for Creating an audio cd, MP3 Jukebox Disc and Nero AAC Audio.
Here's the top choices, these are essentially lists of shortcuts to everything for those categories with descriptions of them.
At the top is a very small arrow that opens up a drop down menu for Options, Updates and some other basic stuff.
At the bottom is a another little arrow that opens up a pop up menu with links to all of the programs.
If you've got a Blu-ray drive in your computer you can burn and play blu-rays right though the Nero player. There's Nero MediaHub which will search for media on your computer and have it right there for quick access.
Nero BackItUp is a great back up program so you can make sure all of your stuff is protected. It takes a bit to figure it out, but the manuals explain everything for you. The program allows you to backup or restore files with just a single click.
Nero Vision Xtra is your center for creating movies or even capturing video right to your hard drive. You can make DVDs, Blu-Rays, CDs and even record right to a disc. There's plenty of choices here for your creation needs.
The actual movie creation program is rather complex and not exactly something for the beginner, there is tons of things you can do when creating a movie. With the creation program it's highly advised to read the manual first.
There are some tool included that can be helpful like DiscSpeed, InfoTool, ControlCenter, EraseDisc and Analyze Disc. All of thee can be useful at times I'm sure.
Included also is Nero SoundTrax that let's you mix and basically create your own music. It's a fairly easy to use program for the budding DJs out there.
Then there's Nero ReCode which basically ReCodes Movies and DVDs for you. One of the things you could do with this is to rip a movie from a DVD and only rip the movie without the previews etc.
The Heart of Nero is of course the Burning Rom, here you can burn anything you want basically. If you've ever used Nero then I'm sure you're familiar with this.
A bit has changed since Nero 9, at least aesthetically anyway. The interface has changed for the better I think, but it's still similar to the last version.
Some people feel Nero is bloated, well you don't have to buy the whole suite, you can just get the basic version if that's all you need.
The software loads fast and it's fairly easy to use, if you're used any of the earlier version then you should be able to jump right in and start with Nero 10.
Nero 10 is your one stop source truly for everything related to your media. No matter what you want to do with your media Nero can do it surely.
As for being bloated, well yes there's a lot of stuff here, but I wouldn't call it bloated at all. I like having access to all these programs and tools in one program. Sure it's not for everybody, but that's why there's other choices out there.
+Full suite of tools in one place
+Simple to use interface
+Your all in one source for creation and entertainment
-A lot of stuff to explore and discover
-Some things do require learning

since getting the kitchen aid, we've definitely been ordering pizza less often since now we can just make our own. but i usually just make regular pizza with tomato sauce, turkey pepperoni, etc. so earlier this week i tried to recreate one of our favorite papa john's pizzas, the bbq chicken and bacon pizza. yum! i used my trusty pizza dough recipe to make some dough and topped the pizza with bbq sauce, mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, chicken, and bacon. though it didn't taste exactly like the papa john's pizza it was a really nice alternative to regular pizza.
we made one bbq chicken and bacon pizza and made another with our usual toppings: tomato sauce, cheese, bacon, onions, and turkey pepperoni.
oh and i've adjusted the pizza dough recipe a little bit since i first started using it. i found that it's much better if you take a little more time to knead the dough and to let it rest/rise for a just a short time as well. also it's much better to halve the dough and form them into 2 circle pizzas instead of just pressing all the dough onto a sheet pan, like i did the first time. the crust tastes much better this way. enjoy!
BBQ Chicken & Bacon Pizza
adapted from allrecipes.com
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- Your favorite BBQ sauce (we like Bull's Eye)
- Chicken, cooked and cubed
- Bacon, cooked and chopped
- Caramelized onions
- Mozzarella cheese
- To make crust, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in stand mixer bowl fitted with the dough hook attachment. Allow yeast to proof for 5 minutes.
- Mix in oil, flour, and salt. Knead for 8-10 minutes.
- Place dough in large greased bowl and allow to rise for 20-25 minutes.
- In the meantime, cook the bacon, chicken, and onions.
- After the dough is done rising, halve into 2 equal pieces. Place one piece of dough on a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Form into a large circle. Roll or fold the edges of the dough under a little bit to form the crust.
- Spread the bbq sauce around pizza dough. Top with cheese, bacon, chicken, and onions.
- Repeat with the other piece of dough.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes.

UPDATE 3-WestJet says weak Alberta economy weighing on demand
* Q1 revenue/available seat mile to fall 10-12 pct
* Cuts 2016 system-wide capacity forecast
* Q4 earnings/shr C$0.51 vs analyst estimate C$0.63
* Shares fall to more than 3-yr low (Adds details from conference call)
By Anet Josline Pinto
Feb 2 (Reuters) - WestJet Airlines Ltd's quarterly revenue per available seat mile, a key measure of profitability, is poised for its steepest decline since 2009, as Alberta's weakening economy weighs on leisure and business travel from the western Canadian province.
The company's shares fell as much as 11.5 percent to a more than three-year low of C$16.55.
Alberta, known for its oil-rich resources, has been hit by a near 70 percent plunge in oil prices since June 2014.
Airlines in western Canada that were once blooming in the oil-rich region have been recording a significant decline in passenger traffic to and from and within Alberta. Continued...

For starters, I have already used all of the above links in the stickies, and while they were very helpful, some of them had conflicting information, and they didn't answer some of the specific questions I had.
I want to switch my dog's food. He's currently on Blue Buffalo, which I've been a long-time fan of, but more recently I've learned that the quality of the food has gone down. I'm interested in starting him on a raw diet, but like I've mentioned, I'm getting a lot of conflicting information. And now that I just got off the phone with my vet, who horrified me telling me that she 'does not recommend a raw diet, because they can have harmful bacteria in them, (which, I told her I planned on buying him the best, human-grade food available, which didn't seem to change her opinion,) and can be extremely high in salt, (and in the same breath recommending I switch to Science Diet, *shudder*) I'm more confused than ever.
It was my understanding that dogs NEED the raw food to stay healthy, for higher brain functions and immune system function and such, and to cook the food would actually be more harmful to them than the raw food. My vet just told me the opposite, that I should cook the food first, to kill all the bacteria. So now, I pretty much have no idea where to start, or what to believe.
My specific questions are:
Even if I buy the best raw food available, is my dog still at risk?
Can I feed my dog BOTH kibble and raw food? If so, how?
What brand of raw food can I trust? (I'm looking at Primal, currently)
Are there benefits to feeding RAW raw food, like organs, fur and bones, versus BARF?
If you guys could help me out with this confusing subject, I would be very grateful. :3
Edit: I forgot to mention, Rex just came home from the vet after being diagnosed with Pancreatitis. He's home now, still with a swollen pancreas, but healing with medication. Is raw food a good decision for this new development?

What is a defibrillator implant?
A defibrillator implant is the surgical placement of an electrical device called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in your chest or belly. An ICD treats life-threatening abnormal heartbeats (arrhythmias). Arrhythmias can prevent your heart from pumping a sufficient amount of blood to your brain and body. A defibrillator implant uses electrical shocks to restore a normal heartbeat.
Your heart is a muscle that works like a pump. It has four chambers, two upper chambers (atria) and two lower chambers (ventricles). Like all pumps, your heart requires a source of energy to function. Your heart's pumping energy comes from a built-in electrical conduction system.
Your heart's four chambers must pump in harmony with one another to make a normal heartbeat. Electrical signals travel through the chambers to produce the heartbeat. Any malfunction in these signals can make your heart beat too quickly, too slowly, or at an uneven rate. This causes an arrhythmia.
A defibrillator implant is only one method used to treat abnormal heartbeats. Discuss all of your treatment options with your doctor or healthcare provider to understand which options are right for you.
Types of defibrillator implants
An ICD has two main parts. The first part is the wires with electrodes that connect your heart to the ICD. These wires continually monitor your heart rhythm. They send the information to the second part of an ICD, the pulse generator.
The pulse generator is a small battery-operated computer. It is designed to recognize abnormal heart rhythms and respond by sending electrical impulses back to your heart. The pulse generator can send either low-energy pulses or high-energy shocks to correct your heart rhythm.
The types of defibrillator implants include:
Dual chamber ICD. A dual chamber ICD has wires that connect to both an upper chamber and a lower chamber of your heart. It corrects abnormal electrical signals between the two chambers.
Single chamber ICD. A single chamber ICD has wires that connect to one or both of your ventricles (the lower chambers). It corrects abnormal electrical signals within the ventricles.
Other procedures that may be performed
In some cases, an ICD is placed during open-heart surgery for other heart problems. These surgeries include:
Congenital defect repair corrects a variety of heart problems that are present at birth.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), commonly called heart bypass surgery. A CABG bypasses or provides a new route around diseased coronary arteries with healthy vessels taken from other places in the body. This is the most common heart surgery in adults.
Heart valve repair or replacement. Diseased or damaged heart valves do not allow blood to flow properly through the heart and out to the body.
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant. The LVAD is implanted in the abdomen and attached to the heart to help a weak heart pump more effectively. An LVAD treats severe heart failure.

Just Kids
Patti Smith
Published: Jun 25, 2015
Category: Memoir
At 14, Patti Smith was a "skinny loser," a frequent occupant of the dunce chair. She was also, God bless her, a reader, "smitten by the book." Her family was working class — her mother was a waitress, her father a factory worker — so they moved often, ending up in Camden, New Jersey.
For her 16th birthday, her mother gave her "The Fabulous Life of Diego Rivera." That summer, as she worked in a factory, inspecting handlebars for tricycles, she dreamed that she was Frida Kahlo, "both muse and maker."
Robert Mapplethorpe grew up on Long Island. He was mischievous and handsome, "tinged with a fascination for beauty." His family was neat, orderly, Catholic. They weren't talkers, they weren't readers. They were "safe."
At 20, Patti got pregnant, left school, gave up her child. She found solace in Rimbaud, in the idea of a burning passion for art. That meant New York City. She went to buy a bus ticket, discovered the fare had gone up. Then, in a phone booth, she found a handbag. There was money inside. She took it, blessing her unknown benefactor.
In New York, she slept in the park, cadged day-old bread. That was just inconvenience. What was real: "It was the summer Coltrane died." And it was the summer she met Robert Mapplethorpe, her great love and dark twin. They moved in together and dedicated themselves to art.
Robert Mapplethorpe got AIDS and died in 1989. Over the next two decades, Patti Smith became the Poet Laureate of New York punk music. The confirmation: her memoir, "Just Kids," won the National Book Award for Non-Fiction. [To buy the paperback from Amazon, click here. For the Kindle edition, click here.]
Who doesn't love to read about the struggling years of people who become great successes? This is among the best of that breed — the story of a woman with a pure heart who willed herself to be an artist and a man who loved art with the same intensity but with a cool eye for the ways it could launch him into money, fame, Society. To her credit, Smith is no blinkered keeper of the flame. She acknowledges Mapplethorpe's worldly ambitions: "We were both praying for Robert's soul, he to sell it and I to save it."
Still, the title is exactly right. "One cannot imagine the mutual happiness we felt when we sat and drew together." When they took a break, she boiled water and made Nescafé. After a good session, they splurged on Mallomars, Robert's favorite treat. They had their differences — Robert wanted to be Warhol, Patti "hated the soup and felt little for the can" — but it didn't matter. All that was important was mutual support, their unending belief in the other's talent. Progress was measured in the work. And in baby steps: "We now had enough money for two sandwiches."
Eventually, they make it to the Hotel Chelsea, haven for the hip and artistic. They hang out at Max's Kansas City. And now we start to recognize the names. In the Automat, Allen Ginsberg tries to pick Patti up — he thought she was "a very pretty boy." She meets a friend of Dylan's, who brings her to meet Janis Joplin. She starts an affair with Sam Shepherd without knowing who he is.
And, finally, Robert comes to terms with his sexuality. He and Patti stop living together even as they affirm undying love. He trades drawing for photography and begins to take the gorgeous pictures of nude men and flowers that led to his first success. And then, as Smith delicately puts it, he "took areas of dark human consent and turned them into art."
The rest of the story is one you may already know. She picked up a guitar, set her poems to music, started a band. As ever, she was a crusader for art:
We imagined ourselves as the Sons of Liberty with a mission to preserve, protect, and project the revolutionary spirit of rock and roll. We feared that the music which had given us sustenance was in danger of spiritual starvation. We feared it losing its sense of purpose, we feared it falling into fattened hands, we feared it floundering in a mire of spectacle, finance, and vapid technical complexity. We would call forth in our minds the image of Paul Revere, riding through the American night, petitioning the people to wake up, to take up arms. We too would take up arms, the arms of our generation, the electric guitar and the microphone.
Dylan came to see her. Springsteen wrote "Because the Night" with her. Then she married Fred Sonic Smith — "a king among men and men knew him" — and moved to Detroit to start a family.
"Robert was diagnosed with AIDS at the same time I found I was carrying my second child."That is some sentence. But then, so many are — my copy of "Just Kids" has more pencil marks in the margins than any book I've read this year. It's not just her writing, though, that grabs me. It's her spirit.
"We were as Hansel and Gretel and we ventured out into the black forest of the world." And then one was left to tell the story. It's not the whole story, and some of it strikes me as made-up as Dylan's memoir, but no matter — I completely believe their commitment to their work. And I pray that when my daughter is, say, fourteen, she'll pick this book up and let it work its magic.
She reads from the book, then leads her audience in a group sing of "Because the Night."

Plains-wandererImage: David BishopSource: ANT Photo Library
Type: bird
Plains-wanderers are losing their habitat as native grasslands are swallowed by agriculture and housing developments. Pesticides that build up in the food chain may also be a threat. The ongoing drought is another concern for the species.
Plains-wanderers are omnivores.
They eats seeds, insects and spiders.
Size relative to a sparrow and a cat.
Plains-wanderers are small ground-dwelling birds with a lanky appearance and distinctive, upright posture. There are between 2500 and 8000 birds left and there is concern that some populations may be too small to remain viable.
Camouflaged against the dry grasses and reddish soils of their habitat, Plains-wanderers are very difficult to see during the day. They have long, yellow legs and mottled brown plumage. Females have a beautiful black and white collar pattern and a patch of rusty-coloured feathers on their breasts.
Plains-wanderers prefer sparse grasslands with a combination of bare ground and low plant cover. Invasive agricultural plants create terrain that is too dense for the birds, while heavy grazing keeps plants too low to provide protection from predators.
Female Plains-wanderers lay about four eggs in the nest, then leave the male to incubate and raise the chicks.
Despite appearing and behaving like a quail, the Plains-wanderer is actually more closely related to wading birds in South America. This strange relationship is the result of the connection of the two continents as part of Gondwana more than 60 million years ago.
A recovery plan for this species includes protecting habitat from cultivation and weed invasion and securing a strong population in Victoria.
Plains-wanderers are native to south-eastern Australian grasslands, but their original wide distribution has shrunk to a few isolated regions.

Intense legal fight over proposed Glendale casino moves to 9th Circuit
The fight over whether a Southern Arizona tribe can build a massive casino near Glendale's entertainment district moved to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Monday. The city is contesting a trial court's decision to uphold the Department of Interior's decision to create reservation land out of 54 acres of unincorporated land near 95th and Northern avenues. The Tohono O'odham tribe wants to turn the parcel into reservation land under the Gila Bend Indian Reservation Lands Replacement Act, a 1986 federal law that allowed the tribe to replace nearly 10,000 acres of land that was destroyed by flooding from the federally-built Painted Rock Dam.Read More »

I have very sensitive skin, that is dried out by most products but this one treats my skin very well and leaves it feeling soft. It is expensive to start with - but body shop do have regular offers - so I make the most of them. Also, due to the pump action that makes the wash turn into a froth - it lasts a really long time, with very little waste. Gentle products, for gentle skin - my 9 year old has recently started using it as part of her daily regime too and it is working well for her very delicate face. I used an alternative, much cheaper product for a while, but came back to this one as I can't find anything else to compare.
I used to use The Body Shop tea tree range as a teenager, but as I got older didn't need to and haven't purchased anything for years. However following an unintentional facial chemical peel caused by a dreadful allergic reaction to some facial cream prescribed by the doctor, I couldn't wash my face with anything without feeling as if my skin was on fire. I needed something gentle, yet effective and just decided to call into The Body Shop knowing that they still used natural ingredients. I spotted the aloe range and knowing it to be a soothing remedy decided to give it a go. The Aloe Gentle Face Wash is priced at £7.00 and has been a absolute gem of a find (along with the day and night moisturiser) and is exactly what it says it is. It is a liquid that foams as you pump the bottle and needs little or no water except to rinse. It left my skin feeling clean and not tight. It does take a little getting used to as it doesn't foam up much but I would totally recommend this to anyone who has sensitive skin. My skin hasn't been as good in a long time, it maybe because I've lost a few layers of skin, but I am certain that this facial wash has assisted and will be a loyal user from here on in.
Following on from a horrendous reaction I received from Clean & Clear's Deep Action Refreshing Gel Cleanser, where my face was literally burnt by the product, I was looking for a product that would be suitable for what had become very sensitive skin. The first shop that came to mind that might sell such a product was The Body Shop, as I associate it with natural products, and knowing that it is not tested on animals, I assumed its products' ingredients must be mild.
In order to ensure that The Body Shop did indeed sell such a product, I first logged on to The Body Shop's website, where I was able to take a skin care test, which would recommend a product suitable for my skin. The test was very simple to complete, and asked a series of questions relating to my skin type. One of the results suggested for my sensitive skin was this facial wash. And so, it was then that I walked into town and bought this product in store.
The product comes in a dispenser bottle, much like a liquid soap dispenser. I was a little apprehensive about trying the product, having encountered a terrible reaction with the product prior to this. My skin was still very tender when I first applied it, and I could only hope that this product would be gentler. I needn't have worried. The product, which is liquid in the bottle, becomes a foam before it even leaves the bottle. It really does foam up well, and one pump of the bottle's dispenser is enough to give a decent amount to cover your face. I apply it with both hands, covering the face and rub it gently on my skin. There is a faint fragrance of what I assume must be Aloe Vera (I personally wouldn't know what Aloe Vera smells like). This product is so mild, and soft on my skin that it is a pleasure to use. My skin felt refreshed having used it, and I was content that I had bought an excellent product.
I had intended to use this product purely as a facial wash to clean my face in the morning. However, claiming to be able to remove make-up, I also gave it a go at taking my make-up off. The results did not disappoint. If a bit of product is placed on a cotton wool pad, all of my make-up is removed with two sides of one cotton pad. In my experience, this is far better than any other lotion cleanser. Most need at least four cotton pads until my skin is absolutely make up free. I was therefore overjoyed to find a product that could save me some cotton pads by being able to do the job quicker than others.
The product costs £7.00 for 125ml. Although I know there are cheaper products on the market, I really think that this facial wash is worth every penny. It is mild enough not to cause a reaction, and works effectively to remove all make-up. Also worth considering is that The Body Shop always seems to have offers going in store and online, and at the time of buying there was a 3 for 2 offer across selected products.
Overall, this is an excellent product, which is perfect for sensitive skin. I absolutely recommend it if, like me, you require a mild cleanser that does a wonderful job of removing make up.
I love body shop products and their Aloe Vera range is something that seems to live in my cupboards over the summer months along with other products for the sun burn that happens so much, only during these months do i tend to buy it due to the cost.
I was first introduced to Aloe Vera and its magical formula of how it works on skin after suffering really badly on the face with sunburn, i was peeling and i looked i hideous mess, so much so i could of auditioned for the role of Freddie Krueger.
Now my mum keeps a fair few Aloe Vera plants in the house, and personally if you looked at them they are rather ugly but the contents of their leaves are magical for all sorts of things.
When you crack open one of the leaves it has a sticky substance that contains over 75 different key nutritional compounds that can be used to treat many ailments with the skin, and i use it for treating sunburn there are lots of other uses from drying out cold sores, healing spots or healing wounds, but its sunburn in my family that needs it the most.
So when i purchased this product i was kind of looking for all those qualities you expect from Aloe and i was impressed it is fantastic , it can be used as a daily facial wash if required but we seem to get more benefit from it during the summer, when the children come in from playing out i have for the past 3 years used Aloe on their skins, they will take a shower using Aloe shower gel and then was their faces with the Aloe facial wash and after that they will come down stairs where they will get caked in Aloe lotion.
Aloe has an ingredient in it that is great for healing sunburn and directly works with the immune system in helping the body to defend itself and it is naturally anti-inflammatory so as you can tell it is a must have in the house.
The thing i do like about this facial wash is the way it really moisturises my skin not just the top layer but deep within the facial tissue, and is what i use when i have had make up on as it really does remove every trace of it , even waterproof mascara, it is fantastic as it has been approved by dermatologists for sensitive skin so you know you are getting a top product.
The ingredients and how they work with the skin for this are "Aqua (Water) (Solvent/Diluent), Aloe barbadensis (Aloe Vera Gel) (Skin Soothing Agent), Sodium Cocoamphoacetate (Surfactant), Pentylene Glycol (Solvent), Sorbitol (Humectant), Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate (Surfactant), Butylene Glycol (Humectant), Glycerin (Humectant), Citric Acid (pH Adjuster), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (Surfactant), Coco-Glucoside (Surfactant), Glyceryl Oleate (Emulsifier), Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate (Surfactant), Dimethicone Copolyol (Skin/Hair Conditioning Agent), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Antioxidant), Lecithin (Stabiliser/Emulsifier), Tocopherol (Antioxidant)." This is as stated under the ingredients from Body Shop itself and are to help give those an indepth look at what and they can do for your skin and how the various ingredients make up the facial wash.
As with most products from body shop they do have others within the range from shower gel ,cooling lotions, lip balm and face cream and all do come in handy during the hot months, visit if you can the body shop website and see all the Aloe range, you will be surprised at what they have been able to come up with from such a cactus like plant.
Price for the facial wash at my local store is £5.99 for 125 ml as priced and on the body shop website it is priced at £6.50, for 125 ml but I'm sure like with most products you can find it cheaper.
the only draw back to this product is the fact that it is rather costly for a facial wash and you do not get a large amount especially if more than one person is using it , but i have found that with a few of body shop products they do not tend to cater for families just individuals!
I've always been a fan of The Body Shop, I love the smell when you go in and have found their products to be of a fairly consistently high quality. Since my skin seemed to be getting irritated by a lot of face washes I decided to try this Aloe one as it is supposed to be gentle and nourishing for your skin, I wasn't disappointed.
The product gave good first impressions with it's distinctive green packaging, it looked fresh and natural and clearly part of the Aloe range in the store. The product is cited as being gentle on the skin and free from pesticides and irritating chemicals so it is clearly marketed towards those with sensitive skin.
I found the product easy to dispense, which is unusual in these styles of bottles, the pump action dispenses the amount you wish to use as a liquid which then becomes a foam. You apply the product to your face, lather and rinse as with any other facial wash.
I clearly noticed that this product left my skin feeling clean and soothed rather than tight and slightly irritated which other facial washes have done. It left my skin looking very clear and it is excellent for dry skin, I found I didn't have to use a moisturiser after using it as it did the job itself - a bit of a two-in-one product!
My only concern with this product is the price, at around £7 a bottle it is quite a bit more pricey than most other brands and certainly than those which you can get in a supermarket. For those of you with sensitive skin this could be well worth the money though - however I found that the 'Simple' range did the same job for my sensitive skin, at roughly half the price!
As mentioned in previous reviews I am a great fan of The Body Shop in general and this is definitely another great product from then.
~~First Impressions~~
The bottle is coloured to co-ordinate the colour of the main ingredient (Aloe Vera). The bottle itself is pale green with a simple white label containing some useful and basic information along with the name of the product.
Whilst the product would not be described as particularly eye catching, when browsing around the shops it is clear to see that it is part of the Aloe Vera range.
~~The Product~~
The facial wash is by far one of the best products I have come across for those (like myself) with dry and sensitive skin. Aloe Vera is a well known product for its moisturising and soothing properties towards sensitive skin. It contains no pesticides, meaning your skin does not have to contend with any nasty chemicals!
The bottle has a pump action, and when used the liquid turns quickly into a foam. You simply apply the foam to damp skin and rinse as you would with any normal facial wash.
Unlike many other facial wash products I have used, my face instantly felt soothed (rather than dry and irritated). Whilst it does claim that you wont have to use any moisturiser, I always do afterwards as I have extra dry skin!
I have also found with many other products (those containing chemicals and pesticides) that my face tends to go very blotchy and unattractive after using facial wash, however I am pleased to say that this did not happen at all with this product!
Due to my sensitive skin I am often reluctant to try new products that I am going to have to spend a lot of money on, however at my local store they always have sample bottles available. Now obviously I don't want to wash my face in the store, however I did sample a small bit on my neck before choosing to purchase.
I bought the 125ml bottle, at the time I think I paid about £6.50 for it, however having checked the website I see it is now reduced down to £5.08.
Now this might seem quite pricey for a facial wash (when you can get cheaper in supermarkets etc), however for those who suffer from sensitive skin I really do think its worth the extra money.
Definitely something I would recommend for those with sensitive or dry skin, I will definitely be buying another bottle when I run out - however do try to look out for any special offers due to the price!
After using the L'Oreal for men range and get oily/ dry patchy skin I felt like it was time for a changge. I bought this after i told an advisor in the store about the situation with my skin and she gave me this. Ive been using this face wash for a while now and my skins looks great, I'm a teenager so i sometimes get the odd spot or two, but it really keeps the oils in my skin balanced.
The face wash comes out as a foam, comes off easily with some warm water, and is very gentle on skin. It isnt remotely greasy or uncomfortable, and doesn't leave skin with that tight feeling after washing. After using this and seeing the results, I would definitely reccomend it to anybody with sensitive or patchy skin.
Another good this about this face wash is that it is part of the made with pass!on range from Body Shop, which means it is kind to our planet as well as to skin ( read more about it on their website).
The only way to cleanse for me is to use soap and water. Now I am getting older my skin is getting drier so I can't use soap anymore. I have tried many facial washes and they all come in gel form.
This product comes as a foam, you shake it and push down on the pump and it comes out. It is an easy to apply product you dampen your face before use and apply. It washes off easily too.
My skin is quite sensitive especially to new products but this product worked a real treat. My skin felt quite comfortable and my skin didn't feel dry at all after use. I could apply my moisturiser and toner easily.
I like Body Shop products they have great principles. All bottles & pots are made from recycled material. The aloe in the product is a Community Trade product which helps provide funding to farmers & families in Africa so they can afford education for their children
Overall, a great product from a company with a great reputation.
I decided over Christmas it was time I tried a new face wash. I've been using Nivea young face wash for a few years and wanted a change. I haven't bought anything from The Body Shop for years and something drew me towards there for a change from Boots. I went in and instantly got targeted by a very enthusiastic American shop assistant to whom I explained what I was looking for. I told her my skin could be quite sensitive and she directed me to the Aloe section pointing out this face wash which claims to be soothing and gentle while cleansing the skin. So I bought it!
It was £6.50 for 250ml, it seemed a little expensive but I expected this from The Body Shop. I was a little annoyed by the fact that none of the bottles looked full, all having the appearance as though someone has already used a quarter of it!
It comes in a clear plastic bottle with a plastic lid. Most of the bottle is covered by a large label with a fair bit of writing on the front, first in English then below in French. The label is all in green and white. The background of the label is white and has an image of some green leaves. Overall the packaging looks nice and fresh and suits the product.
***My Experience***
In the bottle the face wash is a green watery liquid yet the pump applicator brings it out as a white light foam. The bottle is easy to use and the foam comes out easily. I have been using about 2 squirts of the foam each time. To begin with I didn't think the face wash would last long but once I realised it is making it into foam each time I realised it would last a lot longer as it doesn't use a lot each time.
It has a lovely smell for a face wash, it is a barely there smell that just smells really fresh. I wouldn't describe it as smelling of any kind of chemicals, just very natural. The foam has no similarities to the texture of shaving foam or anything like that, it is instead very light and when combined with water it kind of melts away.
On the back of the bottle it says to:
"Massage over the face and neck, using fingertips. Rinse away using clean water."
I usually wet my face first which I'm not sure is the right thing to do but it works for me, and apply the foam to each part of my face then gently massage it in. It is different to other face washes I have used as once you have finished massaging it in it has practically disappeared to the point where you don't even feel like there is anything to rinse off! It is a weird feeling as other face washes keep foaming up for ages and you can keep massaging it in for a while, whereas this one disappears that quickly you don't really have a lot of time to have a thorough wash.
I thought this was going to put me off it to begin with but actually once I had rinsed it off my skin felt really clean, possibly cleaner than when I used the gel one I used to use. All my make-up comes off every time. I was really pleasantly surprised by this as I expected it to leave traces of make-up behind. Overall it makes washing your face a lot quicker yet still does it effectively, which is good if you have sensitive skin as it means less scrubbing away at your skin.
I generally wear mascara and liquid eyeliner most days, and I prefer to wash this off with my face wash too as I don't like rubbing at my eyes with eye-make up removed pads. I definitely didn't expect this to remove my eye make up successfully but it did do quite a good job, although I had to rub at my eyes a bit to get it all off.
The face wash (and the Body Shop assistant!) promised that after using the face wash my skin wouldn't feel at all dry or tight. I wasn't sure whether to believe this as every face wash I have used has left my skin tight, which is why I always apply moisturiser straight after. But actually it proved me wrong and my skin didn't feel particularly dry after using it! I still use cream after it anyway but it was still nice to know the face wash I'm using doesn't dry out my skin, which proved it is less harsh than other ones I have used.
One thing which surprised me about it (which is my own fault) is how much it stings your eyes!! I made the mistake of opening my eyes a bit the first time I used it to turn the tap on and it really stung my eyes! It surprised me because it seemed really light and chemical-free so I didn't expect it to hurt so much. But I guess it was my own stupidity!!
Here's a bit of info I got from The Body Shop site about the main ingredients:
Aloe Vera Gel: Renowned for its incredible soothing, hydrating and moisturising properties - perfect for sensitive skin. It is grown without the use of pesticides and is of the highest quality; natural, pure and preservative free. Is hand harvested, hand washed and hand filleted (all within 12 hours of harvesting) to ensure that its natural qualities are maintained all the way through production.
Sorbitol: Helps the skin to retain its moisture, helping to keep it feeling soft and supple. Is a naturally occurring ingredient found in many fruits, such as berries.
Glycerine: Is an effective moisturiser that helps improve softness and hydration. Also a water-soluble moisturiser that enriches lathering cleansers
***Overall Opinion***
I would advise this for people with sensitive skin who want a light face wash which thoroughly cleanses the face without requiring strong chemicals or loads of scrubbing at the skin. I don't think this face wash would be suited to everyone, I think the fact that it doesn't really foam up once applied would put a lot of people off, but I think it's definitely worth a try. It is fairly expensive but for me it was worth the money.

Is there a way to backup downloaded cydia apps? It's such a hassle every time I restore my phone that I gotta go in and redownload EVERY APP that I had. I tried saving programs from the /private/var/stash/Applications folder, for example I tried saving my PdaNet.app folder and then uninstalling PdaNet from Cydia. Then I tried manually adding the PdaNet.app back to the Applications folder. It shows up on my homescreen but when I click on it the program starts to open but then just disappears. It has done this with several other apps as well. But then some other apps will work by doing this.
So is there something else that I am missing? Easier way to backup Cydia apps or am I just SOL? lol

David Blatner |
Thursday, August 16, 2012
In this week's free InDesign Secrets episode, David Blatner offers a list of five Adobe InDesign features that, when added at the beginning of your InDesign project, will improve the long-term efficiency, organization, and collaborative potential of your project. Although some documents (shopping lists, quick flyers) may not need all five of these features, their addition is critical for efficiently working on professional documents such as books, magazines, and brochures in InDesign.
In the video, David gives you a quick overview of his five suggested features, and why each has the potential to make your InDesign workflow easier. Since several courses in the lynda.com library also provide more information on how to use these features, I've also provided links to related content as applicable throughout the text below.
1. Layers
Ever inadvertently move a background image on your page when you're trying to resize a text frame? By keeping each type of element on a different layer, you stay organized and keep everything in its right place. For more on creating and using InDesign layers, check out Chapter 10 of David's InDesign CS6 Essential Training course. (David's layer discussion is in Chapter 10 of his CS5 version of the course as well.)
2. Paragraph styles
Sometimes it's tempting to intentionally avoid the creation of paragraph styles and simply let everything in your document default to the Basic Paragraph style. But if you give yourself actual working, aptly named styles, you can not only save yourself manual labor each time you want to apply the same set of formatting options, but you also have a handy mechanism for changing those options all at once if you change your mind. Alter the style, and every instance where that style is applied will update automatically. You can learn more about creating, applying, and benefiting from paragraph styles in the first four chapters of our InDesign Styles in Depth course with Michael Murphy.
3. Character styles
Creating a character-level style that you can apply and reapply (as well as update) is particularly helpful for character-level treatments like bold and italic. As with paragraph styles, this feature is covered extensively in InDesign Styles in Depth.
4. Object styles
Crafting an object style not only lets you apply strokes, insets, and other settings to graphic and text frames, it also means you can set default text or graphic frame features that are automatically applied every time you create such an object. To learn more about character styles, check out chapter five of InDesign Styles in Depth for an entire hour dedicated to creating and employing object styles.
5. Master pages
For those elements and features you want to apply to every page in your document (or just recurring types of specialty pages, like a chapter opener), master pages are very useful. If you're interested in more information on how to use master pages, check out our Using InDesign master pages Featured Five blog collection for five free Master page tutorials.

442 Tasting Notes
I was lucky enough to be in the store when they opened the bag of this one, and the staff hadn't tried it yet. So they did a traditional tea tasting brew and we all got to try it!
Dry, I got a combination of true rose scent with extremely strong peppercorns. I'm still not sure if I like or dislike the smell, since I love both separately but together they are . . . unique.
The taste was much nicer than I expected. I expected peppered rosewater, but it is by far more complex. There were definite hints of the coconut, and I didn't get any perfume-ness from it at all.
I definitely recommend trying it, although I'm not sure if I'll be buying it, and can't figure out exactly what kind of numbered rating I'd like to give it, either.
Despite how I just laughed out loud reading AliPants's review here, I have to agree with her. That's the flavour I got as well!
I got this one in store yesterday. No idea how they brewed it, but since I tend to be lazy about taking the bags out when I buy in store, I ended up leaving the bag in the entire time I was sipping. It certainly isn't a bad tea. There was a mild spice on first sip, but as the cup cooled, it disappeared and left . . . warm milked down chocolate popsicle.
I did add milk to the tea, and a bit of agave. Perhaps that's why I had a different experience than most?
Got this one as a cup in store on my lunch hour today at work. Decided I'd try the more expensive ones that way since it is actually cheaper in the long run for me. Am glad I tried this, too, since it was a lovely mellow oolong.
Since I like my tea strong, I was a bad tea drinker and left the bag in until I'd finished the cup, which was long enough for me to eat lunch and cross the parking lot to get back to work. Even with this extended brew the tea wasn't overwhelming or bitter. I seriously enjoyed every sip I had from the cup.
Now I have to decide if I can justify the cost for such a lovely tea!
Disclaimer here, I'm not a coffee drinker. At all. The closest I come are iced capps from Tim Hortons, which, they're more sugar than coffee. A coworker though had told me she got more a caramel flavour than anything else so I decided to give it a go.
Nope, to me it is totally coffee. I got worried when I saw how dark it steeped, it was darker than coffee itself, unless you have a good dark roasted kind. My first sip I tried black, and okay, I didn't spit it out, but also knew I'd never finish the cup this way. So I added sugar. This brought out the caramel my coworker had told me about, but nope, still not one for me. So I added a small bit of milk. Still too coffee. I added more milk. Finally, when the almost black drink was now more resembling the colour of milk chocolate, I could drink it. And here I was getting vanilla more than caramel, but definitely still coffee.
I think this one is going to a friend or my mom, who is starting to discover that teas really are just as good or better than her daily caffeine provider.
I swear this is a mystery tea. Its sweet and tart all at the same time. And don't eat something like a cookie while drinking it or it'll become extremely tart as you sip. I just made that mistake halfway through!
I get only a slight hint of cherry here, and the bamboo is lovely, but it seems almost to be too strong, as if it wants to beat my tastebuds into submission to convince them of the tea's awesomeness. Which, I never did like when people tried to make me believe something . . .
Had this one in store, so I don't know if it was overbrewed, had been sitting, or really is this gross, but I couldn't stand it and for once didn't even finish the sample. I didn't get any fruit in this, just really strong green tea with a sour twist. I'm not rating it since it wasn't a fair shot, but yeah, not a fan thus far.
A light drinkable jasmine, this is the last of the jasmines for me in my collection, and on David's Tea's wall. Not very remarkable to me, especially after having had so many jasmines this weekend. I did notice a strong aftertaste well after I'd finished drinking with this one though. The jasmine definitely lingered.
Genmaicha is a tea I love to try and describe, and yet always fail at, especially when one is really good. Sadly this one from David's is simply average, with little to make it stand out. If anything I found it slightly weak. I tried it at 1.5 minutes and it was nearly tasteless so I doubled the steep time and was still disappointed. I think I was spoiled by another and now can't fall in love with any that are sub-par. :(
{Backlogged Review}
The Countess took me by surprise. I bought it on a whim as I was trying to break out of my tea-drinking preferences, and I'm glad I did. It is so mild and delicate, and yet a lovely cup to sit and sip when I'm doing my morning emails or flipping through a book at night. The orange notes are definitely there, blending seamlessly with the green tea to make a lovely cup that I reached for more often than I expected. I'm already out and will definitely be stocking up again.
An interesting chai. I love cinnamon and was looking forward to one that had that as the dominant note. My chais fall into a like, love, or loathe pile, and this one is firmly in the like, at least until I try it with milk. For my first sips I tried it black, and it was nice. Nothing memorable, but definitely not a chai that was dominated by the notes I tend to dislike, instead riding the cinnamon to a nice high. I added the sugar, and the notes intensified, but not unpleasantly. I'm curious now how the milk will affect it next brew.
It isn't my favourite chai, but it also isn't one that I'll turn down. Fairly standard, which isn't a bad thing.


text: I did not realize the season started so soon. I'm starting a fantasy hockey league. Great timing in light of everything, HuH? LOL but I told Woody I would try to do it and my word is good. Unfortunately my memory is not so it's a last minute thing. Jammer needs a weekly lineup so it is that. Laimbeer wants original six names so it is that. The forum wants commissioner approved trades so it is that. But I am telling you right now I will not he vetoing any trade for any reason. NONE. I'm not willing to work that hard and don't want the headaches and all that other stuff we've already been over. We only have a few days till the season starts so I am going to get an auto draft since I don't think any of us know the players anyway and I will never be able to get a date that's good for everybody in this short window. I will be using default settings for almost everything. There may be a couple of exceptions but nothing big. So far we have Darth -Black Hawks Detteam- Maple Leafs Laimbeer-Wings Jammertime-Canadians ( I assume) Player 5 picks between Bruins and Rangers Player 6 left over. I'm going to set it up now. Please if anyone can get a hold of Woody let him know because I don't want to launch this thing without him. Mikhail are you still interested in hockey? So we need two more teams. Don't be intimidated if you do not know the players. Believe me most of us will not.. It requires little effort since you only set your lineup once a week. Hey if I get eight or 10 people that's fine. The more the merrier. But I can't lunch with an odd number and I need at least six. We will just have to expand the names of teams available. So I will give everyone that information as it comes. Hockey is the most laid-back league of before. Least this form. We've never had any issues which is great. People just don't care that much about this one but it is fun and trophies are awarded if there are at least six teams so the gold and silver will still be there for you guys. I plan to set the auto draft for Saturday or Sunday. That does not give us much time to prepare. But I believe we are all at the same disadvantage and the Yahoo default list is pretty good at awarding players so that you have a good team. So you will not need to tweak the list that much if at all. I think that is everything. Heading over to set up now. Let's have fun.

replacement cartridge and/or stylus for Pioneer PL-200 turntable
I recently bought my first turntable ever.
It is a Pioneer PL-200 Turntable, itt was in good working condition.
The sound is very very faint. I've tested it with several speaker setups. So it is definitely the turntable.
Should I replace the stylus AND / OR the cartridge? I NEED recommendations - as far as brands, models, etc.
I've looked up several sites on what type of cartridge mount I have and it is very confusing.
Any advice is appreciated.
You probably don't need a cartridge or stylus. Turntables have extremely low output and require a phono preamp to boost the signal to a level compatible with most newer amps. Your amp or receiver may not have a phono preamp built in. Most newer ones don't.
If that is the case you must get a phono pre. If you are on a budget the Art DJ phono preamp is well under $100, sounds pretty good has selectable capacitance and adjustable gain.

Speaking to RadioTimes.com at the Royal Television Society Programme Awards, Brooker said he would "hopefully" make another series of Black Mirror, adding that he had scripts prepared should he get the green light from Channel 4. "There are a couple of stories that were written for earlier series but haven't been made yet, so there are ideas for it," said Brooker. Speaking about the new press regulations that have been making headlines over the past week, the host of BBC2's satirical current affairs digest Weekly Wipe and Channel 4's topical 10 O'Clock Live show said: "I don't feel particularly shackled [by the changes], but I'm not having my door kicked in at 5am by police which a lot of journalists are.

Colombian Rebels Give Clinton Fiery Welcome
by Martin Hodgson
President Bill Clinton flew into Colombia yesterday amid a countrywide outbreak of rebel violence and protests against a massive boost in US military aid to the government.
Leftwing guerrillas attacked police stations and army posts, bombs exploded outside banks and masked students clashed with riot police.
On Tuesday night, rebels attacked 12 police stations in six of the country's 32 departments. Five civilians, including two children, died when guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) rained mortar bombs on a police station in the village of La Bateca, near the border with Venezuela.
In south-west Cali, the second largest city, Farc guerrillas detonated bombs outside three banks, causing widespread damage but no injuries, police said.
In the north-eastern oil- producing province of Arauca, another Farc unit attacked an army barracks near the town of Fortul on Tuesday afternoon, injuring six soldiers, an army spokeswoman said. Guerrillas also attacked an army post in the nearby town of Saravena. US-made Blackhawk helicopters flew to the region to strike back at the rebel column.
Rebel commanders have denounced the US aid package, which includes 60 helicopters, equipment and training for the Colombian army, saying that money will cause an escalation in the civil war, and eventually US-backed military action against the guerrillas.
"Clinton isn't here to support social investment but a military plan. We don't want to make threats, but the Colombian people have the rights to take to the streets and protest against this visit," the Farc commander, Andres Paris, told the Guardian.
"We have no military objective. We do not believe your conflict has a military solution. We support the peace process. Our approach is both pro-peace and anti-drug," Mr Clinton said.
Yesterday the Miami Herald reported that the Pentagon is planning to send an army general to oversee the military element of the aid package.
According to US law, a maximum of 500 American troops and 300 civilian contractors may be in Colombia at any time, but the president may waive the limit in the event of an "imminent involvement" of US forces in hostilities.
The largest chunk of American money will pay for 60 helicopters to support a military offensive in the rebel-dominated jungles of southern Colombia, where most of the world's cocaine is produced. The helicopters and three US-trained anti-narcotics army battalions will lead the advance, securing control of drug plantations to allow the police to eradicate illegal crops.
Mr Clinton waived strict human rights conditions to approve the aid last week, despite fears that the Colombian military maintains close ties with illegal rightwing paramilitary groups.
In its 1999 report, the state department reported "credible allegations of co-operation with paramiltary groups, including both silent support and direct collaboration."
Monitoring groups in Colombia fear that the American money will exacerbate the country's 35-year civil war and cause up to 200,000 people to flee their homes.

Hey guys! new to the sight. and first time Subaru owner, Ive just brought a 1996 WRX, with STI motor and running gear. good looking tidy car. wrapped as with it!
Its over boosting, I was told it was the wastegate Actuator from my friend who I brought it of, So I replaced that with a second hand one. its still over boosting.
It lags allot when the turbo first starts to spool, then all of sudden it takes off! boosting up around the 20psi mark and that's only at about 6,000RPM
I noticed it back fires abit as well when decelerating.
It does have a chipped ECU with launch control and advanced timing and fuel/air ratio to suit 17psi, could it be that the chip is causing the ecu to play up??
any help would be much appreciated!

I'm sure I'm showing my age here, but my favourite Sesame Street memory is the cook at the counting song, who said, "Five chocolate cream pies!" and fell over and squashed them all. I rjought it was hilarious (as a 4 year old). :-)tanglymesshttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-12810457726193620832013-09-04T12:45:31.762+10:002013-09-04T12:45:31.762+10:00These cookies look great!These cookies look great!yummychunklethttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-14424561534271615912013-09-04T11:38:03.407+10:002013-09-04T11:38:03.407+10:00They look so cute!
