Predictions? Relax & Enjoy…
The 2014 NBA Finals are upon us!!! This is a great time to reflect on the season that was; Cleveland lands Luol Deng & misses the Playoffs during a heartbreaking final week of the regular season. The Pistons add offseason excitement & questions with Josh Smith & Brandon Jennings… That didn't work. The Houston Rockets made quite a run with new addition Dwight Howard… and James Harden still can't play any defense. The Clippers had a remarkable season overshadowed by the fact that they have a racist owner. The "Splash Brothers" were born in Golden State… and then they fired Mark Jackson. The Indiana Pacers were like any average woman, they were good for 75% of the time… then "the week" happened; they got emotional, they got angry & the Pacers fell apart (advancing to the ECF isn't bad, but a blowout loss in an elimination game, that's "terrible"). The Oklahoma City Thunder fell short again after Kevin Durant finally got over the "2nd place" hump for the regular season MVP honor (and a great MVP speech!). San Antonio sat some starters, they rested up for the long haul, beat out KD & the Thunder in a very strange blow-out for the home team series (until game 6)… And then there's Ol' Faithful, LeBron James & his Miami Heat. Question marks loomed around them all season if they had what it takes to join the elite company of the 1957-66 Boston Celtics of Bill Russell & Bob Cousy, the 1982-1985 LA Lakers of Magic & Kareem, & the 1984-1987 Celtics of Larry Legend, Kevin McHale & Robert Parrish making Four, yes 4, straight NBA Finals appearances.
The Miami Heat have had their up's & down's. Dwayne Wade sat out a ton of games this year to rest a looming injury list the length of a biblical scroll. LeBron tantalized us with 61 points against the Bobcats on March 3rd & followed that up with three straight games totaling 58 points. The Heat added Greg Oden to bang inside with Roy Hibbert (crickets), Michael Beasley didn't work, but the steady emergence of the Cleveland State Viking Norris Cole has been fantastic to watch. The Heat are following LeBron's famed "not 1, not 2, not 3…" with yes, their 4th consecutive NBA Finals appearance, that's something neither Michael, nor Kobe ever accomplished. Miami's core of the "Big 3" has done it once again, adapting & surviving game after game, round after round.
The San Antonio Spurs took the "typical" route to The Finals. They had a strategic plan in place to give their elder statesmen rest throughout the year. That plan allowed guys like Kawhi Leonard & Patty Mills the time needed to be able to get even more comfortable within the Spurs "way". They were scared by Dallas going all seven games, took advantage of a younger Portland squad in 5, mopped the floor winning 3 home games by more than 80 points with the Thunder & now get the opportunity to get back to The Finals & avenge the most heart wrenching 3-ball Ray Allen has ever hit.
I'm not going to guess at which team will win this series. I am going to enjoy (hopefully) all 7 games. I am going to enjoy one of the greatest franchises in the history of the game take on arguably the greatest player of all time. I will enjoy the re-vamped D-Wade & the new-look 15ft spot up Chris Bosh. I will watch Birdman bang inside with Tim Duncan as Timmy puts on a clinic every youngster should study. I will hang on every Tony Parker drive like water flowing down stream & every kick to the pride of Argentina Manu Ginobili.
I will enjoy The Finals, I suggest you do the same.

The iPhone 4 is so last year! If you're hankering for some information on the iPhone 5, we've rounded up everything we know (or think we know) about the next Apple device. Check out the details here!
Join The Conversation
I work at an authorized at&t retailer and we sell the Iphone. I have learned that don't believe everything you hear or read about Apple and there launch dates or details of products to be launching. How many years did we keep hearing that the Iphone was moving to another carrier? Or how about earlier this year how there wasn't going to be an Iphone 5 and now there is and they keep changing the launch month? As far as for the early upgrade, nikki815, you usually have to have the phone for a minimum of a year before the early upgrade is available to you. Also, for those wanting to get some credit for their practically new Iphone 4 to use toward the purchase of an Iphone 5 (whenever it does come out), check out the major retailers that sell the Iphone for at&t or verizon. And I dont mean the corporate stores. I'm talking about places like Radio Shack or Best Buy. They offer trade in programs where they offer you credit from your old phone to use towards the purchase of a new one. My friend traded in her 3gs to an Iphone4 at Radio Shack and ended up shelling out only $5 (not including the purchase of accessories of course) for the IPhone 4. Her 3gs was in pretty much mint condition too so im sure that helped.
I need advice from iphone/att customers... I am going to be making the switch from sprint/BB soon, but I am unclear about the early upgrade idea. I've heard that just about anything short of finishing the full 2 yr contract makes you eligible for early upgrade pricing, is that correct? I would be fine with paying the extra $200 premium, but I just want to make sure that is the policy before getting stuck with an iphone 4 for the next 2 years...esp since there are so many rumors about the iphone 6 coming out next year. Not to jump ahead too far, but there is the thought that with next year being the 5th year of the iphone a complete redesign is in the works and that's why they aren't making huge changes for the iphone 5. Thanks
Just a thought... I think that the post where it says it *might* be released in June should be removed since now it's more likely that it will be released in the Fall which basically contradicts the June date. Just saying!! Happy Friday :D
Oh, and I forgot to add, thanks for the heads up :-D
"It seems like it was just last month" is an expression, like "it seems like it was just yesterday..."
it wasn't last month, it was this summer. iphones come out every summer.
It seems like it was just last month that Apple came out with the iPhone 4. It would be nice if existing owners could turn in their practically new old phones for a credit towards their new phone. While I like to keep up with technology, I pretty much gave up with buying the latest and greatest. In fact, I wrote an article of why/how I gave up my cell at http://www.honeybunnie.weebly.com
Nothing is ever official before launch with Apple!
So.... nothing

"I wish I had known that this would be such a huge adjustment," wrote Reddit user forthelulzac about moving from America's northeast to the southern state of South Carolina.
The comment sparked a flurry of agreement from both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. Americans from the north and the south might be citizens of the same country, but, at least according to those who responded to forthelulzac's lamentation, they're from two totally different cultures.
"[Meeting someone from New York] was the first time I had literally no clue what anything a person said or did meant. I couldn't tell how he felt about anything," wrote southerner multirachael by way of explanation. "For Southerners, everything, everything is in the subtext."
Southerners have a complex system of rituals and social cues, she explained, contrasting this with the more upfront north. "[I]f you come right out and say what you're thinking, it's considered aggressive, confrontational … If a Southerner labels you 'rude,' it's pretty much the worst thing they can call you …"
"It's about softening things. It's about having a 'nice' society. It's about making things 'pleasant.'"
User afk_at_work provided this example (half-joking, I hope) of how these subtle social cues work:
I clearly tilted my head and raised an eyebrow when I agreed that he could sleep over if he didn't feel like driving, why is he curling up on the couch? How rude!
"[P]eople up North don't understand the double offer rule," added user mirandapd. "In the South you offer things even if you don't want to. The proper response is to decline the first offer. Then if the person's offer was truly genuine they will offer a second time."
But while northerners failed to understand these southern customs ("As a Northeasterner living in the South for the past seven years, I have to admit (please don't take this offensively)…I find the Southerners' way of interacting incredibly passive-aggressive," wrote penguin8508), others found them a bit more familiar.
"Very much like Japan, or old European customs," observed GreatScout.
"Sounds pretty close to Chinese culture in some ways," wrote MP3PlayerBroke.
"And Irish," volunteered Trachtas.
Even Persian. User tyronomo explained Iran's equivalent to the "double offer rule." "There's a Persian word for this – Taarof (or Ta'arof/Taroof – phonic no real English translation). Basically a song and dance of offer/reject/offer/accept."
Is the culture of the American south more similar to that of Asia or the Middle East than to that of their countrymen in the north? The following contrast between northern and southern culture, given by user lotictrance, sounds like the contrasts we're used to hearing between U.S. and Asian cultures:
Where the outside perspective on Yankee culture is more of an "every man is an island" kind of thing, down here it's more of 'you have a good day so I can too,' almost society-wide codependence.
"I went to Thailand this past summer and was surprised at how at home I felt there. Now I see that it's because some of the cultural values like being relatively non-confrontational and sugar-coating things are very similar," wrote lifelong southerner countess.
Not every international commenter saw something they related to in southern culture, however.
Wrote Princess_By_Day, "I'm a German woman in New York … I cannot fathom any reason why any people would ever choose to have so little straight-forwardness in their lives."

This shield would be awesome if the work space was one or two holes longer to allow for building an Arduino right onto it. I could have used exactly that for a data logger I built. Instead I went to a microSD breakout with a 3.3v level shifter and built the Arduino on a DIP PCB from Radio Shack. Wish I could have done both on one board!
Just a heads-up, this doesn't come with any cables or connectors. Be sure to get one along with an antenna.

All Things D that Samsung will indeed unveil the Samsung Galaxy S IV on March 14th in New York City. The spokesman had nothing further to say, which is unfortunate because we'd love to hear if the latest specs we have for the device are correct. That would include the 4.99 inch SoLux display with a quad-core 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor on board and 2GB of RAM on board. There will be 16GB/32GB and 64GB models of the phone available with a 13MP camera on back.
While this is certainly exciting news, especially when you consider that Samsung expects to sell 100 million units of the Samsung Galaxy S IV, we have a number of exciting devices that will be introduced in Barcelona over the next several days. Keep your eyes right here for the best MWC 2013 coverage! Now by a show of hands, how many have been reading our pre-show stories?

The Case for Change
Embrace change--transition to a whole new way of working.
Today's collaboration technology offers us all a whole new way to work—one that challenges us to rethink centuries-old ideas about what work is, where it gets done, and how it is measured. Technology and other forces are already changing how we work. But in order to maximize the potential of new ways of working, we must fundamentally change how we think about work and adopt new behaviors that fully leverage its potential.
While senior leaders are typically eager to deploy workplace practices that enhance organizational performance, resistance from middle managers and other employees is common. The key to overcoming that resistance—something e-Work.com has learned from decades of experience—is to first, make sure all stakeholders understand "the why" or "what's in it for them," and second, to address their fear of the unknown.
That's why we created "The Case for Change" overview. Working with our research partner, Global Workplace Analytics, we've created a business case for workplace mobility and framed it from the three different perspectives of executives, managers, and staff.
Backed up by solid research this twenty-minute course will leave its participants with:
- A fact-based business case that demonstrates the urgent need for new workplace strategies and practices
- A clear vision of where and how they will work in the envisioned future
- Straight answers to their most common questions
- A clear understanding of what's in it for them
- The realization that leadership is empathic to their concerns and is committed to making the change as easy as possible
- Action steps that will help them play a role in the change
Making the Case for Change
This twenty-minute overview, appealing to executives, managers, and staff, makes a strong case for workplace transformation.
The Facts
Our case for workplace transformation was developed based on best practices across numerous fortune 500 companies. We build the Case for Change by presenting fact-based arguments showing an unmistakable need for a whole new way of working. We present a clear vision of where and how people will work in the new workplace and include straight answers to the most common questions to neutralize objections, while recognizing that there are obstacles, and acknowledging that it won't be easy.
What's in it for me?
Executives, managers, and workers, need to understand why the organization is deploying this strategy and how it will impact them personally. In the Case for Change overview, we show what's in it for each member of the organization by uncovering tangible benefits.
The Case for Change overview begins with a work profile selection. Providing different work profiles allows the message to become highly relevant to executives, managers, and workers, each individually. We believe by sharing this relevant business case and how it supports both the individual and the organization, will give your employees the context required for quick adoption and pave the way for a successful workplace transformation initiative.
The e-Work.com Case for Change overview delivers a lot of content in clear and easily digestible amounts that can be customized to complement the unique workplace messaging already created within our organization. Make the message your own by including your organization's unique internal messaging, organizational statistics, mobility history, strategic plans, and specific workplace conditions.
Within just two weeks you can launch a branded and customized online case for change in the new workplace that is ready to deploy throughout your entire organization.
The Workplace of the Future
In the workplace of the future, work is becoming something that you do, not some place you go. There is something in it for everyone. No other workplace initiative offers as wide a range of solid, tangible benefits for all stakeholders—employers, employees, communities, and the environment. In the Case for Change overview we provide a set of actions each individual can take to play a role in this change and be part of the solution.
We have helped tens of thousands of workers transition from the traditional workplace of the past to the transformational workplace of the future. Like what you do, how you do it, and where you work. Let us help you build the Case for Change!

About to purchase a 2009 bmw x5d
anything i should know? maintenance? does it have to be charged every month if im living in cold conditions in canada? ive never owned a diesel vehicle before, any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Do a quick search. Lots of stuff have come up.
It's a general rule of thumb to avoid first MY diesels, which are the '09s because of initial issues
Aside from the brutal iDrive that was updated for MY '10, I'm not sure you're going to want to hear some of the potential issues due to our climate up here. Will it be garaged always? In extreme cold temperatures, ie. colder than -30 C, we have had issues with the urea delivery system freezing up (exact same issue with our Mercedes ML320 Bluetec).
We've also make sure all of the recalls have been performed as there are multiple emissions issues. My opinion is that our cold weather has contributed to many of the exhaust problems. Again the Mercedes was no better, but at least our service experience with Calgary BMW has been exceptional.
2009 X5 35D Issues
In short, just about everything on my X535D has had problems. I purchased it new in 2009. I'm really disappointed in the quality & reliability. Great to drive when its running, but it spends a lot of time in the shop. Buy an extended warranty & save your money for constant repairs when the warranty runs out.
What a bunch of BS.
No BS, Fact. Been back multiple times for defects with DEF System, Intake System, Interior Electronics, Electrical Battery System Failures, Emmission Control Components Failures and several other things. No BS, fact that can be backe up with service slips accumulated over the last 3 years. If you have had good reliabilty, then knock on wood and pray that your luck does not run out.
Pretty funny.
I deal with statistics a lot. A lot. And one of those funny truths is that to the INDIVIDUAL, the stats dont matter. A doctor comes into the room, with MRI and blood tests in hand. He explains you have cancer. But not jsut any cancer, bu a super rare, one- only seen in one out of a million. Do you take solace in this? no, all it does is make you feel like the most unlucky person in the world.
But back to cars- for Joe, the 2009 is a 100% dog. For apw, the 2009 is a 100% champ.
Having said this, Joe- if there is a 2009 that has been running perfectly, with only BMW maintenance, should this be avoided in the used market? In other words, haven't most of the 2009, 2010 diesel issues been worked out? And if they havent been worked out, wouldn't the 'bad ones' with ongoing service records be identifiable?
Just thinking....
I just bought an 09 X5 35d in Calgary as well, I love it so far I have also read some horror stories but I would assume the previous owner worked out most of the issues by now.
I went to ECUProgramer in Calgary and got a tune done and it made a night and day difference....now I am debating going and getting extended warranty or back to ECUProgrammer to remove the DPF and get a stage III tune that increases power/torque by 100/115.
Looks like a few Calgary 35d's on here we should have a meet.
I got ECUPrograms stage I it think he said it adds 40hp and 65ftlbs it is very noticeable gains anyway. Now I want his stage II he removes the DPF and gets +60hp 100ftlbs but I am going to wait until warranty is up for that. I have got warranty work with the stage I it cost $800 for the tune I am not sure what ext warranty costs let me know when you find out I am considering it as well.
well i went to the dealer and asked how much for warranty yesterday and they quoted me 6500 with 1000 cash back, is that right? i thought it was suppose to be around the 4k range
$6,500 seems pretty steep you could do a lot of repairs for that. :dunno:
Like ard suggested, read the actual contract very, very clearly before you make the decision. Considering that they are telling you that this warranty coverage is somehow special for the diesel, confirm that the emissions components (which are the primary issue with the diesels...especially in our cold climate) are fully covered. Don't hold your breath for the answer.
They are also overpriced by about $2K minimum.
where else can i shop around for warranty? this was at edmonton bmw and we only have 2 bmw dealers in town.
pretty sure any BMW dealer in Canada would work....
if i get it through say bmw in vancouver, does that mean i still get my warranty work done at the bmw dealers in my hometown of edmonton?
You MIGHT even contact US dealers and see if they can sell it to you- a Spopnsor here has pretty good prices. Not sure what the rules are, but worth an ask

Here are some pics of a new IWB holster that I made for my M9A1. It is a copy/variation of one that I have seen online somewhere. Possibly Blade Tech? I'm not sure, but it is definitely not my original design.
The cant' is adjustable from straight(90deg) to two different angles. The least extreme angle is pictured. In the straight configuration, the height can adjusted to two positions. Retention is by friction and is adjustable via the belt clip mounting screws.
One of these days I'm going to remember to take some pics during the process.

BLAIRSVILLE-SALTSBURG: For sixth year, directors OK budget with no tax increase
BURRELL TOWNSHIP — The Blairsville-Saltsburg school board passed a budget Tuesday that holds the line on taxes for the sixth year in a row.
The $31,517,344 budget is an increase of 3.45 percent — about $1 million — from last year's budget, said Eric Kocsis, business manager.
It passed on a unanimous vote.
Increases in expenditures are reflected in salaries, retirement, Social Security, health insurance and services through organizations such as ARIN IU 28 and the Indiana County Technology Center.
The majority of the increase — $248,000 — is due to rising pension costs, Kocsis said.
With the approved budget, the millage rate remains at 126.34 for Indiana County residents and 109.36 for Westmoreland County residents.
Act I gaming funds of $1,133,935 will allow properties that qualify for homestead/farmstead exclusions a $306.50 credit in Indiana County and a $306.62 credit in Westmoreland County.
The board also voted to keep other taxes in the district the same.
The per capita tax is $5 for each resident of the district age 18 or older. The earned income and net profit tax remains at 0.75 percent, and the real estate transfer tax is still 1 percent. The Emergency and Municipal Service tax is $10 for all employed individuals in the district.
The board set the real estate discount rate at 2 percent, and the penalty rate at 10 percent.
The board also renewed contracts with the superintendent, business manager and director of buildings and grounds. Members Holly Hall and Rick Harper voted against the motion.
Superintendent Tammy Whitfield's contract was renewed in advance of the end of her current contract, from April 8, 2015, through April 7, 2020, with a salary of $136,468 and annual increases of 3 percent, except for the July 1, 2015, raise, which will be 2 percent.
Business manager Kocsis will receive $106,806 under a new contract from July 1 to June 30, 2019, with 3 percent increases.
H. Patrick Rosborough, director of maintenance, buildings and grounds, was approved for a contract from July 1 to June 30, 2017. His salary is $65, 841 with increases of 3 percent.
Also at Tuesday's meeting, the board approved the following raises for this year:
• James Brida, director of food services, $1,532

• Regina Geesey, supervisor of special education, $1,792
• Tracy Richards, Saltsburg Elementary principal, $2,549
• Jeff Soles, Blairsville Middle/High School principal, $2,676
Salary increases of $1,500 were also approved for the following nonunion staff: Kathy Himes, administrative assistant to the superintendent; Alice Santoro, administrative assistant to the assistant superintendent; Becky Halberg, payroll specialist/accounts payable; Nancy Powell, administrative assistant to the business manager; and Jay Batsa, information technology systems technician.

Sorry, this area is for Healthcare Professionals only.
Sorry, this area is only for those who have been prescribed Epiduo gel.
There are plenty of myths surrounding the subject of acne that simply aren't true. So if somebody's said you've got acne because you don't wash properly or eat too much chocolate, now you'll be able to set the story straight.
Myth - Dirty people get spots. Truth - Dirt or grease on the skin doesn't cause acne. Although it's good to wash your skin regularly, you shouldn't over-wash.
Myth - Chocolate and chips cause acne. Truth - There's no evidence that chocolate and fried foods cause acne, or make it worse. However, some people find that cutting junk food and alcohol helps. Eating a healthy balanced diet is good advice whatever your skin is like.
Myth - You should squeeze out those spots. Truth - You will never get rid of acne by squeezing or picking spots. You can end up spreading the bacteria, helping spots to form somewhere else. Worse, the squeezing might leave you with scars.
Myth - You're too dry for spots. Truth - It's not true that people with oily skin are spotty and those with dry skin aren't. Using a moisturiser is good advice for all acne sufferers, but especially for those with dry or sensitive skin.
Myth - Make-up makes spots. Truth - Cosmetics don't generally affect acne, though there are some skin products and hair oils that may create blackheads. Take off any make-up before bedtime and use products that are 'non-comedogenic' (non-spot forming).
Myth - Only teenagers get acne Truth - it's not just teens that suffer with acne, adults get it too. Whilst some acne can clear over time, targeting it early with an effective treatment can improve the chances that it will go away.
Myth - Acne drugs don't work Truth - acne treatments do help to clear spots. There are only a few drugs, like corticosteroids and anti-epilepsy drugs that can make it worse. If you think something you're taking is affecting your skin, speak to your doctor.

Cape Town, Oct 15: Indian Premier League (IPL) 5 champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Auckland Aces in their second Group A match of Champions League Twenty20 2012 here on Monday night.
CLT20: Schedule; Results; Points Table
After being handed a heavy defeat by Delhi Daredevils in the opener on Saturday night, KKR will have to regroup quickly and return to winning ways.
The tournament has now moved to Cape Town and this will be the first game at Newlands. This is also first match for Auckland.
KKR were destroyed by DD paceman while chasing 161. Gautam Gambhir-led side were kept to 108/7 in 20 overs with Morne Morkel, Irfan Pathan, Umesh Yadav and Ajit Agarkar sharing those seven scalps between them.
Auckland came through the qualifying stage and will look to upset KKR who look a better team than the New Zealand outfit.
For KKR, Gambhir has to score big at the top of the order. In recent times, the left-hander has not been in great form. He and Manvinder Bisla have to click as openers.
With the experienced Brendon McCullum up against his countrymen, he will know the bowlers. McCullum is also key for KKR's chances.
Sunil Narine will be KKR's biggest weapon as many of Auckland's batsmen might not have faced him.
KKR will start as favourites for this game.
Kolkata Knight Riders: Gautam Gambhir (captain), Iqbal Abdullah, Shakib Al Hasan, L Balaji, Rajat Bhatia, Manvinder Bisla, Jacques Kallis, Brett Lee, Brendon McCullum, Sunil Narine, Yusuf Pathan, Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Mohammed Shami, Ryan ten Doeschate, Manoj Tiwary
Auckland Aces: Gareth Hopkins (captain), Andre Adams, Michael Bates, Brad Cachopa, Colin de Grandhomme, Martin Guptill, Ronnie Hira, Anaru Kitchen, Mitchell McClenaghan, Azhar Mahmood, Bruce Martin, Chris Martin, Kyle Mills, Colin Munro, Lou Vincent
Umpires: Rod Tucker (Australia) and Kumar Dharmasena (Sri Lanka)
Third umpire: Aleem Dar (Pakistan)
Match Referee: David Boon (Australia)
Match starts at 9PM IST

Terrible makeup caused cystic acne but did not realize until a couple months later this makeup was the problem.
This foundation is very translucent and thin. That said, if you need good coverage and/or have even slightly oily skin, avoid this product. Because it's so runny, it draws attention to any scabbing/flakiness/dry patches. Even with a setting powder it doesn't stay matte for long. Would only be good if your skin is not dry or oily at all.
This is a really nice drugstore foundation. Light/medium coverage, blends nicely and looks really natural. However, since it is more targeted towards anti-aging, it has a very dewy/glowy finish which can be problematic for people with oily skin. I have combo skin - my t-zone gets super oily but my cheeks are dry. This does make me face feel a bit greasy without a good primer and setting powder.
I like how this is good for your skin, but it looks terrible when applied. It's so sheer, and makes my dry skin look oily. If you have no acne or scars, it's perfect. Not for people with scars though!
Alright, so recently, I've come to terms with realizing that my skin is combination, but on the drier side. Yet, I live in a humid climate so I am always sweating outside. The struggle is real. Anyway, I had been trying to stray away from matte formulas, as they only accentuate my dryness. I heard this was a dupe for NARS Sheer Glow, which I'm in love with. Let me just tell you, this stuff is horrible. There is zero coverage, and I'm only a light-medium coverage kind of girl, but it still gives you a "I just ran a marathon" sweaty look. Yuck!!!! Not to mention, the day after I used it, three new pimples popped up on my previously clear skin. This stuff just looks and feels awful, the whole time I was wearing it, it's almost like I could just feel my pores clogging up.
I like it I would recommend it, but I wish it didn't have sunscreen or at least not that much. I don't really like sunscreen, because our bodies were made to get sun.
This would be great for people with dry or just non-oily skin. This looked really good on me for about 30 minutes. Bottom line: Don't use this if you have oily skin. This foundation feels heavy will make you look greasy. I wish I kept the receipt.
Not worth it!
This is a product I would recommend for girls with dry/normal skin. The furthest I would push is combination skin- which is what I have. It gives you a nice dewy finish but sometimes it might look too much if not set with powder.
I would not suggest this product for oily skin because the dewy finish with the oil will not look good. If you MUST, then I would suggest using a mattifier and powder.
I have not gotten acne breakouts from this product. This is good for year round but I would wear this more in the winter months.
I'm always looking for foundations that offer good coverage and are able to match my skin tone, I found that all in this foundation. I feel like it is a good foundation, not just a good one for me, and I feel like it did aggravate my acne to some extent...but that is to be expected if you are wearing makeup with acne. I do recommend it and if you are looking for a good foundation and have relatively good skin I would try it out. I'm sure I'll come back to this when I no longer have active acne and would just want to even my skin tone lightly.

Pricop saidThank you for your feedback.
I subscribe with the guys above me, also I've found a bug in Chrome (haven't tested in any other browser), which causes the scroll to stop working if the mouse is over the slider, for example if I start scroll the page down and my mouse gets over the slider, the scroll stops working, I'm not sure if this was intended or not but I find it really annoying since the slider doesn't have any behaviour if you use the scroll mouse (e.g: to scroll between the slides). Although quite nice design.
All the best,Alexandru P.
Scroll stop is intended. The scroll mouse is used to scroll between the slides if you look closer. The delay is trouble and that's because of the explode effect.
I would advise to review the typography and colors used.

FUKUSHIMA – Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Monday it has given up attempts to recover a second shape-shifting robot sent in to check the damaged primary containment vessel of reactor 1 at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
The second robot, deployed Wednesday to measure radiation in the vessel, was working properly but saw a monitoring camera essential to its recovery break down, Tepco said.
The electronics of the camera were apparently damaged by the high radiation in the PCV, the utility said. When powered up, the camera is designed to work for 10 hours in the intense radiation, but Tepco was unable to switch it on Saturday.
The camera is needed to monitor the remotely controlled robot for retrieval. The robot assumed a new shape to conduct the survey after crawling through a narrow pipe to enter the vessel.
The camera breakdown will not affect the surveys, the company said.
The first survey robot, dispatched on April 10, got stuck in the PCV after covering about two-thirds of its planned route and remains inside.

Anthony Joshua has already turned down an offer worth an initial £50,000 to quit the amateur ring and join the professional ranks.
Should the Londoner win his super-heavyweight semi-final tonight and go on to claim gold on Sunday, his decision will be applauded as a wise one.
Fame and vast fortune await Joshua should he win Olympic boxing's blue ribbon division but first he must eliminate Ivan Dychko, of Kazakhstan.
Persuasive managers and promoters will immediately seek the 22-year-old's signature on contracts that promise seven or even eight-figure returns should he go on to win the heavyweight championship of the world. They will point at Lennox Lewis, London-born Olympic super-heavyweight gold medallist in 1988, who lives a life of luxury off his earnings as undisputed world heavyweight title-holder.
They'll point, too, at Wladimir Klitschko, of Ukraine. The 1996 gold medallist owns three heavyweight titles and is estimated to be worth more than £18.5million. But he and Lewis are, in fact, rare Olympic success stories. The fates of other super-heavyweight champions ought to make Joshua think carefully about what he wishes for.
The super-heavy class was established in 1984 and the first winner, beating Lewis in the final, was Tyrell Biggs. The American went on to trade leather with most of the big names of the period including Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe. But he never won a title and his biggest fights were with drug and alcohol abuse outside of the ropes.
Lewis, having rebounded brilliantly from the Tyrell defeat, was succeeded in 1992 by Roberto Balado, a Cuban who established him as one of the greatest amateurs to lace up gloves but whose ultimate potential was never realised because he was killed in a car crash at the age of 25.
Following on from Klitschko was Britain's Audley Harrison, hailed for his heroic triumph at the Millennium Games in Sydney but who became the target for ridicule as his grand plans to conquer the world were found to lack punch. Alexander Povetkin used his victory in 2004 as the springboard to win the WBA heavyweight title but the Russian remains a relatively anonymous figure.
As for Italy's Roberto Cammarelle, the Beijing champion who remained in the amateur, ranks he goes in the other semi-final against world No1 Magomedrasul Medzhidov of Azerbaijan, tonight knowing that Joshua, a potential opponent on Sunday, beat him in the world championships last October.
Joshua is aware of his pending status as boxing's hottest property. "I'll get some advice," he said. "One of the things that would keep me as an amateur would be the chance to become champion at the worlds.
"Imagine being an amateur world champion, an Olympic gold medallist and a professional world champion. It would be all the heights of a boxing career."
Joshua's team-mate Fred Evans tonight faces Ukraine's Taras Shelestyuk, the world champion, for a place in the welterweight final.
Amir Khan, whose silver medal in 2004 inspired Evans to take up the sport, is confident the Briton can cause an upset. He said: "Fred is slick, tough and focused and he'll go all the way."

Jones KOs Brunson in 3
By Francisco Salazar at ringside
Junior middleweight veteran Carson Jones (24-7-1, 15 KOs) promised to expose KO King Tyrone Brunson (21-1-1, 20 KOs) and that's just what he did on Friday night at the Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, Calif. Jones dropped Brunson in round three with a big right hand then got the stoppage with a sustained follow up barrage. Time was 2:39. Brunson started his career with a record 19 consecutive first round KOs, albeit against suspect opposition.
Former WBO junior lightweight world champion Mike Anchondo (30-2, 19 KOs) won an eight round split decision over previously undefeated Mauricio "El Maestro" Herrera (13-1, 6 KOs) in an all action fight. Scores were 77-75, 77-75 Anchondo, 79-73 Herrera.
Bantamweight Chris Avalos (15-0, 11 KO's) stopped overmatched Jose Pacheco (2-10-6) in the second round of a scheduled six round bout. The game Pacheco was no match for the faster, stronger, and more polished Avalos. Referee Raul Caiz, Sr. stopped the bout at 1:34.
Lightweight Marvin Quintero stopped Tyler Ziolowski in the second round of a scheduled eight round bout. Quintero (18-2, 13 KO's) overwhelmed Ziolowski (12-10, 6 KO's) with power and speed, eventually trapping him in a corner and prompting a stoppage by referee Dr. James Jen-Kin at 1:15 of the second round.

"We'll go to a revival and then go to Guantanamo Bay and torture some people just for fun." -- David Shuster on evangelicals, 12-7-07
So astonishingly malicious were the words of David Shuster today that they leave me at a loss for words of my own. So let's just say it simply: David Shuster is an anti-evangelical bigot.
Video (0:35): Real (991 kB) and Windows (1.11 MB), plus MP3 audio (274 kB).
MSNBC "correspondent" Shuster was a panelist on today's Morning Joe. For his "must-read" of the day at 7:20 AM ET, Shuster predictably chose the New York Times editorial panning Mitt Romney's speech on faith. Shuster approvingly cited this passage:
He was trying to persuade Christian fundamentalists in the Republican party, who do want to impose their faith on the Oval Office, that he is sufficiently Christian for them to support his bid for the Republican nomination. No matter how dignified he looked, and how many times he quoted the Founding Fathers, he could not disguise that sad fact.
Host Joe Scarborough pointed out the Times's history of hostility toward evangelicals.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: This is the same New York Times editorial page that ran columns after George W. Bush was elected in 2004 saying evangelicals were closer to Osama Bin Laden than our allies in Europe. That of course came from Garry Wills. Then Maureen Dowd said that evangelicals were going to take us back to the Dark Ages. I think there is some hostility, on the New York Times editorial page, toward evangelicals.
DAVID SHUSTER: They still get it right on occasion.
Even Mika Brzezinski was shocked, exclaiming "oh, man!"
SCARBOROUGH: Once in a while, but Alabama beats Auburn once in a while, too.
SHUSTER: We all must believe in football, and I suppose if we all go to Pensacola [Joe's hometown], we'll have a sidetrip where we'll go to a revival and then go to Guantanamo Bay and torture some people just for fun.
Mika seconded Shuster's notion: "Exactly, to make sure that they don't get [unintelligble] illegal."
The lightness of Scarborough's tone in reply belied the seriousness of his words: "It's that sort of mean-spirited view of America and that soft bigotry of low expectations that upsets me so much."
Shuster and Brzezinski shared a hearty chuckle in response.
Ace of Spades comments: "If only those who screamed the loudest about religious tolerance actually believed in religious tolerance themselves."
Bryan at Hot Air:
Shuster's religious tolerance and fidelity to the facts speak for themselves. He's a bigot. And so is Mika Brzezinski for chuckling along with him, agreeing, and piling on with the reference to legal counsel.
To think, this crew replaced Imus after his bigoted "nappy headed hos" flap. If anything, this gang is worse.

Rockford's basketball coach Nick Allen and baseball coach Ian Hearn were invited to share a personal narrative of their team's recent successes with the Rockford Lions Club. Both coaches guided their teams to state championship games last season with a similar coaching philosophy and style.
In Allen's first year as the Rockford High School's head basketball coach, he guided the Rams to conference, district, and regional championships before falling in a thrilling state final to Saginaw 54-42. Coach Hearn, in his sixth year as the varsity baseball coach, directed his players to a surprising state championship win against Temperance-Bedford 5-3.
Coaches Allen and Hearn gave much of the credit for their early success to family, players, and the community. Allen developed the motto "Build" by witnessing what his family accomplished through building a successful business. He stated that a great program and team is built through effort. Allen also mentioned that he was provided with players who have great character, attitudes, and smarts.
Coach Hearn established the motto "Get better every day." He credits his players for buying into the idea of getting better every day on the ball field and getting better every day in the classroom and society. Hearn also credits the Rockford community for its support of high school athletics for his team's success and is one of the major reasons he came to Rockford.
Born and raised in Rockford, Allen graduated from Rockford High School and went on to Western Michigan University where he earned degrees in political science and education. He is currently teaching social science classes at East Rockford Middle School. Allen said he approaches everyday with a purpose centered on the importance of helping others feel valued. He also feels his role as a basketball coach is to help the team learn, not disrupt, and never back down.
Coach Hearn was a three sport high school athlete and ended up wrestling and playing baseball at Central Michigan University. Besides spending ten years at Traverse City Central in capacities as Athletic Director and head baseball coach, Coach Hearn spent time as an associate scout for the Baltimore Orioles. Hearn found out his oldest boy, Ian, needed heart surgery during the time his team was marching their way to a state championship. The baseball players offered support for Coach Hearn and his son by wearing blue bracelets during the remaining games. The surgery went well, and the players recognized Ian's courage by giving him the bracelets after winning the title game. Coach Hearn has been adding one word to his "building blocks for success" every year since his first season at Rockford. Last season's word was fittingly "Together".

The Scottish influence at the heart of Uefa – something criticised by Arsène Wenger during the Eduardo da Silva diving case – is set to diminish after an announcement yesterday that general secretary David Taylor is to head the governing body's new marketing company.
Taylor, the former chief executive of the Scottish Football Association, will move to the new Uefa company on 1 October. He will be succeeded by his deputy, Gianni Infantino, an Italian lawyer who has worked for Uefa since 2000 and most recently has steered through plans for financial reforms of European football.
Taylor, who has a business background, was appointed following Michel Platini's successful campaign to become Uefa president in 2007.
Although the Eduardo case is not connected to the announcement, Taylor was earlier this month forced to insist there was no "old pals' act" surrounding Uefa's decision to charge the Arsenal striker with diving against Celtic. The SFA chief executive Gordon Smith had led calls for the player to be banned, leading Wenger to claim there had been "a witch-hunt" with the case being influenced by "Scottish people working at Uefa".
Taylor responded by saying: "It's not all pals together, we're in football and you disagree with people."
Infantino's appointment signals Platini's intent to push ahead with his plans to force clubs in European football to only spend what they earn in revenue.
Uefa also announced they have appointed the former Belgian prime minister Jean-Luc Dehaene as the first chairman of the newly-created Club Financial Control Panel. The body will be made up of independent financial and legal experts and will conduct audits to ensure clubs are complying with the new rules.
Platini said: "As the first chairman of the Club Financial Control Panel, he will set the standard in this area and in so doing will make history. It was crucial to have this new role handled by a man of his capacity and stature."
The rules, the details of which have still to be confirmed, will see clubs of a certain size obliged to balance their books so they will not be allowed to spend more than the revenue they generate.
The scheme is to be gradually implemented over a three-year period and is expected to be fully in force by season 2012-13.
Meanwhile, England should be among the top seeds for the draw for the qualifying tournament for Euro 2012 to be held in Warsaw on 7 February next year.
The qualifying competition will consist of nine groups – six of six teams and three groups of five teams. The nine group winners and the best runner-up will qualify directly with the eight remaining runners-up contesting play-offs.
Seeding will be based on Uefa's national team rankings which look at the records in the qualifying tournaments for the last five World Cups and European Championships.
England's 100 per cent record so far in World Cup qualifying for next year's tournament under Fabio Capello should ensure them a place among the top seeds.Reuse content

Stylus Gives Digital Sketches The Feeling Of Real Paper [Pics]
FiftyThree's newest stylus lets users erase and blend their drawings when using the Paper app.
Design studio FiftyThree has come out with a new hardware accessory for Paper, their award-winning iPad drawing app that has made waves since it first came out.
Pencil is a specially-designed stylus that lets users erase and blend their drawings. It also has adaptive palm rejection that allows it to tell the difference between your palm or the tool touching the screen – a common problem for left-handed folks.
Pencil runs on a long-lasting lithium-ion battery and doesn't need to be recharged for around a month if used normally. The stylus can be recharged on any USB port which takes less than 90 minutes. Pencil has expressive features when used on the Paper app, but it can also be used as a basic stylus on any touchscreen device.
"Pencil makes getting ideas on Paper more natural and expressive," explains FiftyThree CEO Georg Petschnigg. "It's much more precise and fluid than using your finger, and now with Pencil you can rest your wrist on the screen. It complements touch, and gets you thinking with your entire hand."
FiftyThree has already collaborated with Moleskine to create Books, custom-printed 15-page journals of users' drawings and sketches.
Pencil adds to the company's portfolio of mobile creativity tools, and marks a convergence between the analog and digital experiences of creating.
"For us, it's about removing barrier to creation, whether this means taking your ideas from digital to printed analogue as with Book, and now with Pencil from your mind to your hand to the screen," says Petschnigg.
Pencil comes in two models: Graphite, which is made from brushed aluminum, and Walnut, which is sustainable hardwood. Both are available in the US and Canada from the online store starting November 19th. The two models are selling for an introductory price of $49.95 for Graphite and $59.95 for Walnut.

Fifth Patek Philippe Craftsmanship and Precision Competition
On April 3 and 4 this year, 18 students from six Swiss watchmaking schools took part in the fifth Patek Philippe Craftsmanship and Precision Competition ("Concours de Bienfacture et de Précision"). The winners were honored on Saturday 14 June 2014 during a prize-award ceremony that took place at the Patek Philippe Museum in the presence of Patek Philippe President Thierry Stern, President of the Jury Robert Anguenot, Human Resources Director Daniel Rochat and International Customer Service Director Laurent Cantin.
The fifth edition of this competition affirms the company's commitment to solid and long-lasting partnerships with the Swiss watchmaking schools. The idea behind the competition dates back to November 2008 when Patek Philippe decided to not only nurture its partnership with these schools but also to contribute to training future professionals and promote the Patek Philippe heritage and know-how in precision and chronometry.


text: DETROIT, Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Center in Detroit is the first hospital in the Midwest to offer the newest molecular breast imaging device – GE Healthcare's Discovery* NM750b. This molecular breast imaging (MBI) technology makes it possible to detect breast cancer in women considered to be at high-risk, especially those with dense breast tissue. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121205/DC24238) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20071106/KARMANOSLOGO) "Although molecular breast imaging does not take the place of mammography, it offers another option for patients who need additional imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)," said Sharon Helmer, M.D., clinical service chief, Imaging Department, and director, Breast Imaging, Karmanos Cancer Center; and clinical associate professor, Wayne State University School of Medicine. "The MBI system allows better detection of very small lesions in women with dense breast tissue. Not only will this help eliminate false positives, it may help to detect breast cancers earlier when the disease is highly survivable." MBI looks similar to and replicates the views acquired by mammography but it does not produce X-ray radiation. The compression is approximately 30 percent of a standard mammogram. Instead, MBI uses a nuclear isotope to detect tumors. The patient receives a small injection of a radioactive tracer that locates metabolically active tumors (showing blood flow.) The device uses leading-edge, solid-state Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) dual detectors that produce outstanding image quality and up-close positioning, allowing for increased imaging sensitivity right up to the chest wall. The patient can choose to sit or stand while the scanning takes place. Each image view takes up to 10 minutes. MBI captures clear, precise images, even for those with dense breast tissue. Unlike MRI, MBI is safe for those who have pacemakers, metal implants or other foreign bodies, and patients with renal challenges. It's also an option for those who are claustrophobic, have silicone implants, and for those whose weight or size exceeds the allowable limit for MRI.

They say dogs are man's best friend, but a German shepherd in England prefers saving babies.
Jade was out on a walk Wednesday in a Birmingham park with her owner — a 68-year-old retiree named Mr. Wilday — when she ran off, according to The Daily Mail. Mr. Wilday called to Jade, but she wouldn't come. Finally, he went over to investigate and heard a baby crying.
The baby had apparently been discarded in the park and still had her umbilical cord attached. Jade wouldn't leave the baby's side until Mr. Wilday came to investigate.

Devotees of chamber music and the Super Bowl will not have to choose between the two this year since the Douglaston Concerts will present its First Sundays Series concert an hour earlier than normal on Super Bowl Sunday.
The pianist and violinist ensemble known as Duo Prism will perform at 3 p.m. Feb. 5 at the Community Church of Douglaston, at 39-50 Douglaston Pkwy.
Pianist Rieko Aizawa and violinist Jesse Mills are both graduates of the Julliard School and in 2006 won first prize at the Gaetano Zinetti International Chamber Music Competition in Italy.
"Duo Prism will perform one of Beethoven's violin sonatas named after the guy it was written for, Rodolphe Kreutzer," said Gerald Anders, who has been the Douglaston Concerts' artistic director for the past 10 years. "It's probably one of the most important pieces of chamber music."
The annual concert series, which presents five performances each year from October to May, was in danger of being discontinued before the season due to poor subscription revenues.
"Like everything else we suffered from the economy. The number of committed subscriptions had shrunk, and without our subscriber base and that minimal income we dare not contract performers," Anders said. "These [performers] are all professionals and they're all paid. They don't get rich, but they are paid."
Anders said Douglaston Concerts is the only chamber music venue in northeast Queens, and though it does receive performance space from the church gratis, the nonprofit does have a certain amount of costs associated with maintaining its piano and publicity.
"Rather than run the risk of disappearing, we brought on new board members with the mandate to drum up new subscribers to keep us afloat, and we did just that," he said.
The series is constantly presenting some of the most recognized musicians in the world, Anders said, such as Trio Cavatina, winner of the 2009 Naumburg Chamber Music Competition, who performed last year before going on to Carnegie Hall.
"One of the reasons the series is really loved is that people can come and for a third of what they'd pay at the Lincoln Center chamber society, they can see exactly the same people," he said.
Douglaston Concerts will present pianist Benjamin Hochman March 4 and organist Scott Montgomery later this year to close out the 2011-12 season.
A full five-concert subscription costs $100 for adults, $85 for seniors and $25 for students. Tickets for individual concerts can be purchased for $25, $20 and $5, respectively. For more information, call 718-229-2169 or visit douglaston

Cash (GitHub: sudo-js / cash, License: MIT) by Rob Robbins at TaskRabbit, is a lightweight library for working with the DOM. It uses
$ to provide access to an abstracted
NodeList. It's chainable, and supports events, CSS manipulation, and attributes.
For example, given
var things = document.querySelectorAll('div'), you could change the
class attributes like this:
$(things).q.forEach(function(el) { el.classList.remove('example'); });
Or add an event handler:
$(things).on('click', function() {
// One of the things was clicked
init method that runs whenever you call
$() checks to see if the argument is an array,
NodeList, or
HTMLCollection. When it's not an array,
slice.call is used to map the elements to an array. The idea is to make this method as fast as possible so it's safe to call it whenever you need access to a list of elements.
The new TaskRabbit site has been developed using micro libraries, and this is the library they used make working with the DOM more succinct. If you go to taskrabbit.com you should be able to run something like
$(document.querySelectorAll('p')).q to see it in action.
If you're avoiding larger frameworks and trying to find the perfect DOM querying and manipulation library, then take a look at the source -- it's fairly easy to see what's going on. There's annotated source, and the project itself is fairly easy to read because it uses a Node build script to generate the final framework from separate files. There are even detailed tests in the spec directory.

So I've come across 3 occurrences of this happening in Vagons, but not a single one in the coupe or sedan. The 2 mentioned above, and apparently it happened to Dax Shephard while filming his car chase movie (hit & run?). Could the Vagon perhaps have more sensitive rollover sensors than the other two models?
I don't plan on auto crossing the car, but it will likely see the occasional track day, and will be driven fairly hard on the backroads with plenty of sliding around. The thought of the curtain airbags deploying especially without a helmet is quite frightening. Yes the occurrence rate is pretty low, but how many Vagon owners really slide these things around?
