For some more fairness in an unfair competition
For those of you who don't know it already. My friend David is taking part in the Toontrack songwriting competition. Now is the voting phase - the best 15 among 1000s of entries will be heard by the judges.
The fact that there are musicians in there who either already have a bigger fanbase or others who found a way to hack for votes -
(I'm not making this up, there are entries with more votes than views, which is impossible to achieve legally, because you can't vote without viewing the entry)
- makes it incredibly hard for the rather unknown songwriters to get into the final round, and all their talent and hard work doesn't help them anything.
The 15th place has almost 1000 votes by now. It's a mere fight for the people's support which has nothing to do with music anymore. And it means getting on people's nerves and asking for help, some of you might call it even spamming, but there's simply no chance without doing that.
And seriously now, is it so much to ask for? 2 clicks, voluntary clicks….
I'm aware that most of my followers won't even read this entry, but anyway. For those of you who don't mind to share some minutes of their time:
Please listen, and if you like what you hear please vote for this entry. For the sake of fairness I also suggest taking a look at other lower rated entries, if you like to. It's also possible to vote once every 24 hours for one entry, but I guess that's a little too much to ask for… ;-)
Thank you.
This amazing piece of music from David Delvalle is now an entry in the Toontrack Songwriting Competition.
He is a songwriter who has spent half his life working his ass off for music without getting the recognition he deserves. As music business is hard he has to put up with having to live on minimal income in order to fulfil his dreams.
If you want you can support my friend by voting for his entry. If you are a facebook member you can just follow the link and vote. One vote per entry per 24h is permitted.
Every vote helps! Thanks. :-)

Now that mobile is here in the northern hemisphere, it's a great time to go and exercise the old fashioned way: outside! Learn ways to exercise for maximum health.
Now that mobile is here, it's a great time to get outside and get healthy. There are plenty of ways to use nature as your friend and get a workout that promotes all-around health. These ideas are not just for women trying to lose weight; they are for all women to guard against obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancers, and other health pitfalls. These tips also bring you closer to nature and the great outdoors when the weather is ideal.
*It is recommended that women get about 30 minutes of exercise 5 times a week.
One of the easiest ways to get the heart pumping is to walk. Walking or hiking is a low-impact, aerobic exercise that temporarily increases the heart rate to exercise and strengthen the cardiovascular system. It thereby helps to keep weight at a healthy level and protects against diabetes.
Walking can be done almost anywhere, including on your neighborhood streets, on park trails, along a resevoir, or on boardwalks. A great way to keep up with a walking regimen is to join a local walking or hiking club.
Taking a bike ride is another excellent way to get some exercise. Why do you think kids are always on bikes? Because they're fun!
Bikes come in all shapes and sizes as well as price points. There are mountain bikes for the adventurous types who want to go off road. Racing bikes are lighter and more streamlined for long distance road racing. And fortunately for the rest of us there are standard bicycles with upright handle bars, comfortable seats, and just a few or only one speed. Bicycling is much like walking, with the exception that it can often take the rider farther than the feet can.
Golf isn't just for die-hards. It's a relaxing, low-impact sport that is great for the legs (walking), the arms (driving and putting), and the back (bending and reaching.)
There are several ways to enjoy golf. If you are a newbie, you can try a pitch-n-putt game, which is a smaller version of a 9 or 18 hole course. It is larger than a miniature golf course, with ample walking, but it is not overwhelming for a beginner. A full course can be 9 or 18 holes, but it is longer and more rigorous. Finally, a way to relieve frustration and work out the arms is to go to a driving range and hit golf balls for distance and accuracy.
Tennis is a fun game to play outdoors (although it is also available year round indoors.) Perhaps more time and money need to be invested in this sport in order to perfect it, but with inexpensive lessons at a local YMCA or community center, this game can be a great way to achieve optimum physical health. It builds endurance (continual running and moving), coordination, and a healthy sense of competition.The text is provided by Henan Hongxing,which is the professional manufacturer of complete sets of mining machinery, such as China mobile crushers,Spiral classifier price, it is always doing the best in products and service.

Bridgeport Apartments are currently the worse place to live in Lincoln, it's nothing but ghetto. People are camping outside all day every day, nobody ever works, not very safe for kids at least I would think. Your house and hallways always smell like pot weather you smoke and hallways smell like urine because people don't have any manners and obviously don't know how to act. I would say worse property management. When I moved in there 3 years ago it was beautiful place with clean grounds and clean buildings. I cannot wait for my lease to be up so I can get out of there. Management is very poor and don't take care of their grounds. Grass is about to your knees. Outside of the building you will find all kinds of trash from alcohol bottles, beer bottles, used condoms, trash around trash containers and not inside. For anyone that would come and rent there please don't waste your money and expose your kids to the nastiness that's on their complex. Horrible place.

I have lived here for 9 years and this will absolutely be my last year. When I first moved here, management was pretty good. The grounds were kept nicely or at least somewhat nicely. They had semi-strict requirements for renting to people. They used to also be an income based/ lower income complex. I know people have a bad outlook on people who have section 8 but believe me I am one of the quiet ones that likes to keep to herself, take pride in my surroundings (inside & out) and I actually pay my rent 2 or 3 months in advance! Since these new "young" managers have been here, this place has gone to Hell in a handbasket! The security doors are never fixed in a timely manner so where's the security? They let anybody move in here and I can say that and I'm a minority!!! The apartments are CHEAPLY made and the windows do leak which causes mold to grow. The heating and ventilation is horrible and you do have to turn the thermos up really high or low so the bedrooms can regulate themselves. I have had my bathroom and various other parts of the ceiling leak from the people above me. I hear every footstep and woman getting beat up by God knows who. NO, I am not exaggerating this! The rent goes up every year and I swear the only requirement now is "Can you pay the rent? OK you're in!" I learned to deal with the spiders and silverfish but when the roaches came, I said "OH hell no, we've got to go!" I truly have been here for 9 years and never seen a roach but now because of the constant turnover rate, I'm sure they came from someone who lives above or on the side of me. The management is only concerned about putting bodies in these apartments and that's it. I used to love it here but it has become my private nightmare and I'm terrified to go in my kitchen now because I always see a roach! I travel a lot and when I'm faced with the thought of returning home, I cry a little. The pool is a joke, it's just a big kiddie pool that has tons of bad kids in it everyday. The mini blinds are cheap and tear up with very little effort. They will replace them with cheaper blinds without you asking and then charge you for them. My fridge is leaking now and for some reason they can't seem to figure it out. The hallways used to be cleaned by a very nice lady but they ran her off so now I come home to garbage that's been in the hallway for the last two weeks. We are supposed to have a 10:00 no noise rule here but that's a joke also. Oh yeah, when the maintenance guy came to replace my daughter's blinds in her room, he stepped on her bed with his shoes on when he had no idea I was behind him. It would seem I stayed here 5 years too long but I thought it would get better. Sometimes being optimistic will drive you insane!

Pros: - Affordable: myself and two friends shared a three-bedroom apartment for roughly $250-$300 each. - Location: a five-minute drive gets you to 27th and Superior, a very big shopping area. There's also a library, an Ace Hardware and a Walgreen's within walking distance. - Maintenance: the one time we needed our refrigerator worked on, the maintenance folks were efficient, going so far as to tell us what they did (and how it applied to us). - Heating and air conditioning worked very well. - Clean: no bug issues. - There's a pool. Cons: - Activity: though I never witnessed anything myself, a fellow apartment renter (different apartment) had their vehicle broken into at least once, and I'd heard from them about suspicious activity happening within the apartments as well. - On weekends, available guest parking spaces are nil: the place is almost guaranteed to be completely full (in fact, guests cover several blocks' worth parking on the street). - Hours for guest parking within the apartment's parking lot are not posted. - A guest of mine had their car's driver's-side mirror knocked off twice during regular visits. - Old windows means a potential rise in heating/air conditioning bill (though we as renters were made aware of the complex's plans to install new within a few years). Artificial insulation highly recommended during particularly hot and cold months. - Unless your guest gets one of the few dedicated guest parking spots, overnight guest parking is only achievable if one gets a parking tag from the office, (though you need to do so during office hours...). - Security: front door's locking latch would frequently malfunction, leaving the door completely unlockable. The poor thing was always getting fixed, and it would work for about a week or so before going right back to not really being a lock. Mixed (or at least, not so bad): - Lack of trees means lots of sunlight, though if you like trees this can be an issue. - Neighbors: soundproofing is pretty weak, meaning you'll probably hear kids if some live above you (or next to you), and you'll most certainly hear them outside (though I myself never really minded). Conclusion: if you are adaptable, or at least able to tolerate a few inconveniences, Bridgeport does have a lot to offer, especially in terms of location.

Surf News
- 16 October 2008 | Surfing
The do or die rounds of the repercharge were the main attraction today at the main podium. The Open Men´s Round 2 was held in two foot waves, as the tide forced the Contest Director to suspend the final heats of the day.
A total of 13 heats were held and more surfers were eliminated from the championships. Those who overcame the pressure made it through, adding more points to their respective teams.
The Men and Women's Bodyboard Main Event rounds were held at Podium two and there were some radical performances as riders worked hard to progress through to the next rounds. Unfortunately it also meant that the for the first time some bodyboarders were relegated to Repercharge Round two.
The day's best performances came from ASP World Tour Surfer Dayyan Neve of Australia and Spanish star Pablo Gutierrez, who both posted 16.83 points in their respective repercharge heats. Among the bodyboarders Natasha Sagardia of Puerto Rico was the top women of the round, scoring 11.30, while Pierre Costes (FRA) once again obtained the highest combined score of the round, a respectable 15.17. Manuel Centeno of Portugal, the gold medallist in 2006, won another heat and the local rider is looking good for what is ahead.
Spanish power
Spain's representative Pablo Gutierrez, showed that he knew how to deal with the tough low tide hard. He put together a solid performance to score a 9.00 and a 7.83in his repercharge heat.
"I felt really good; we were sitting just by the side of the jetty really close to each other, so there was a bit of a hassle to get a wave. I was lucky to find one good 7.83 that left me in an OK situation to look for the back up. So I quietly waited for the good one, it came; I did three good moves and scored a 9.00. I ended the heat first and I´m really happy. Anyway, I think I was lucky," Gutierrez said.
- 15 October 2008 | Surfing
There are waves on the fringe of existence that defy both logic and imagination. They break where the land is uninhabitable, where the elements are threatening, beautiful, raw and brutal.
Where deep sea swells rear on underwater cliffs then fold in mighty explosions that shake the earth for miles, these are the very waves that Mark Mathews lives to surf.
It gives O'Neill great pleasure to announce Mark as the latest addition to the global team. For years Mathews has been one of Australia's premiere monster slab (i.e.: a huge barreling cavernous tubing wave) riding lunatics.
When weather maps turn purple, odds are he's already booked flights to the centre of the storm, be it off the bitter Southern Coast of Tasmania or a chunk of reef 30 kilometers out to sea off Western Australia. Hs courage knows no boundaries. To surf the waves he loves is to risk life itself and requires the best possible equipment.
Says O'Neill Ambassador and Asia Pacific Marketing Manager, Rob Bain, "I feel proud to have Mark on the team because I believe he epitomizes the core essence of the real surfer. His quest to surf big gnarly barrels, has him drop everything at any time regardless of the consequences, and to me that is what surfing is really about."
For his part, Mathews believes the relationship was inevitable. "I'm stoked to be part of the O'Neill family," he said. "Their basic philosophy towards surfing is to be the first people in the water and last out of it on any given day. For me to be representing a brand whose primary focus has always been to give people maximum time in the water, it makes perfect sense. That's basically what I live for, to be out there all the time so that I never miss the biggest and best waves that come through."
- 15 October 2008 | Surfing
Despite a smaller swell the action was frenetic and emotions ran high on the third day of the ISA World Surfing Games with the repercharge heats along with the Open Men's qualifiers hitting the water. It was also the turn of the Women to show what they're capable of in the Main Event round one and two.
It was a sunny day that started with a really low tide, which negatively affected the shape of the waves. As the tide came in, conditions improved and reached the four foot mark.
There was plenty of action in the 45 heats that were held and history was written again in Portugal. The new generation conquered the old as the surfer of the day and current ISA World Junior Champion Tamaroa McComb 16 (TAH) was the standout. The shining star among the women was Australian Sally Fitzgibbons, 17, who is a former ISA World Junior Champion. Costa Rican surfers were once again the talk of the beach and, with the first round of the repercharge completed, some surfers said goodbye to the contest in the "all or nothing" round.
With 16, scoring more than 18
Tamaroa McComb was crowned ISA World Junior Champion in the Under 16 division five months ago on the French coast, and his great talent saw him included in the frontline of the Tahitian Surfing Team at the ISA World Surfing Games, this time as an Open surfer. The gamble of selecting the 16 year old has paid off, after he posted an 18.17 heat score in the third round.
The characteristic power and flow of the young Polynesian is evident with his top to bottom radical and varied moves. In his best two rides, he scored 9.17 and 9.00 to beat ASP World Tour surfer, Ben Bourgeois from United States into second place. ~

Lexington, MA 02421
United States
Founded in 2006
Key Executives for Predictive Biosciences, Inc.
Predictive Biosciences, Inc. Key Developments
Predictive Biosciences, Inc. announced a partnership with ARUP Laboratories, Inc. to offer the company's molecular diagnostic bladder cancer tests to ARUP's national network of clients. Through a non-exclusive agreement, ARUP will offer Predictive's CertNDx(TM) Bladder Cancer Assays in its comprehensive test menu to hospitals, healthcare providers, academic medical centers and military and government facilities around the country. ARUP's clients will be able to order CertNDx testing, submit samples and receive all results through ARUP. Predictive Biosciences will run the diagnostic testing in its CAP and CLIA-certified laboratory. The CertNDx Bladder Cancer Assay is a non-invasive, urine-based test to assess patients with hematuria and to monitor for bladder cancer recurrence post treatment. The test's unique approach stratifies patients based on their likelihood of bladder cancer and is highly accurate across all stages and grades of bladder cancer. CertNDx testing is also available in a tissue-based prognostic test for molecular grading that can provide a quantitative molecular assessment of tumor grade including the likelihood of disease progression.
Predictive Biosciences announced the appointment of Pierre Cassigneul as the company's new chief executive officer. Mr. Cassigneul is a seasoned executive with more than 25 years of commercial experience in the healthcare and molecular diagnostic industries. He brings significant international and product commercialization experience to Predictive Biosciences, having held top management positions at several global diagnostics companies. Mr. Cassigneul replaces Marc Schneebaum, who will return to his original role as chief operating officer. Mr. Cassigneul previously served as vice chairman of the board and president and chief executive officer of XDx Inc.
Predictive Biosciences, Inc. announced that it has developed a new next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay for the TP53 gene (encoding the p53 protein) that will enhance the clinical performance of its bladder cancer assay. The new CertNDx(TM) Bladder Cancer Assay incorporating TP53 is expected to be commercially available in early 2013. Predictive's next-generation sequencing assay for TP53 can detect 133 different mutations previously identified in bladder cancers. A research study conducted on 200 control samples and 36 cancers, incorporating TP53 sequence analysis into the existing assay, demonstrated an improvement over the previously published test by increasing sensitivity across bladder cancer pathways while retaining very high specificity and high Positive Predictive Value (PPV). The performance of this assay will also be validated in a large, prospective clinical trial to be completed in the first quarter of 2013.

Just wondering if anyone knows why DL is open til 11pm on a Thursday. I tried to search and couldn't find a thread with this. If there is, sorry!
Just wondering if anyone knows why DL is open til 11pm on a Thursday. I tried to search and couldn't find a thread with this. If there is, sorry!
I believe its because of Mickey's Trick or Treat Party going on at DCA
I thought of that as well, but the next 2 thursdays, they are closing at 8pm. And those are treat nights as well.
I agree with the others, I think it has to do with the trick or treat party. maybe, they are attempting to make up for the hours? Close one park for a party, keep the other park open for compensation?
(shrug) its a thought...
They expect big crowds for "national boss's day"?
Actually it is school vacations.
One big one is UEA, wich gives all of UTAH an extra long weekend, and many of them decide to head to Disneyland, also some other southwest schools have a long weekend.
Check out my Theme Park Photos at http://darkbeer.smugmug.com
It is because of UEA (Utah Education Association Convention). The kids are out of school until next tuesday. I have seen people at Disneyland on UEA weekend that I have not seen in years and they just live a few miles down the road from me. There is definitely a Utah presence at DL this weekend. Just wish I was one of them.
I'm going with what the other posters have said. For what it's worth, Disneyland was also open until 11:00 last Thursday.
Last Thursday was the Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur, which apparently there are some schools closed for. So it was very busy last week. But today, it was not that bad. But I would imagine Disneyland will be quite busy tonight after DCA closes at 5pm for the Trick or Treat party.

text: %@ Language=VBScript %> In the Midst of the Storm - Mused - the BellaOnline Literary Review Magazine MUSED BellaOnline Literary Review Summer 2012 Volume 6, Issue 2 Fiction Back | Next In the Midst of the Storm Michele Fleming The rain began to come down in sheets, blasting against the windshield as Jen made her way along the winding mountain roads. Even though the wipers were going as fast as they could, her visibility was practically non-existent. She struggled with the steering wheel in an effort to keep the car on her side of the road as the wind continued its constant battering. The call had come in an hour ago that her father had taken a turn for the worse and that she needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible. The doctors said he didnt have much time left and Jen was determined to see him. Even though travel was perilous, she vowed to herself that no amount of rain was going to keep her from it. The further she went on the mountain road, the more her radio station began to play out. Normally, she wouldnt even have the radio on, but she was hoping to stay on top of the weather. Annoying static quickly replaced the encouraging sounds of Q93 and Jen reluctantly took one hand from the wheel to hit the tuning button. Missing the button on the first try, Jen took her eyes off the road for a split second to try again. That split second turned out to be a moment too long. As she focused on the radio controls, the blast of a horn caused her blood to run cold. Quickly turning her attention back to the road, a new terror flooded over her as she realized she was heading straight for an oncoming big rig. She jerked the wheel just in time to miss the truck, but the action caused her car to hydroplane. Time seemed to move in slow motion as the car made its way back and forth across the road, twisting and turning as it went. The sound of tires squealing against the pavement below her seemed to grow in intensity with each passing second. No matter what she did in an attempt to regain control, it seemed only to make matters worse. A loud pop erupted beneath her car as one of her tires blew, sending sparks spraying out behind her, lighting up the dark dreary night. Thankfully, the blown tire caused the car to slow its tossing and turning, giving her back control and she was finally able to make it safely to the side of the road. Jens heart pounded so hard, she felt sure her ribs would break from the battering they were taking. She sat with numb fingers clutching the steering wheel and attempted to calm herself with long deep breaths. Her body began to shake and tears filled her eyes only to spill over and make their way down her cheeks. She allowed herself some time in prayer, to thank God for watching over her, before stepping out into the torrential downpour to begin the task of changing her tire. She had changed a tire before, so she knew she could do it again, but the overwhelming need to be at her fathers side left her feeling utterly inept. Jen opened the trunk to remove the tire and tools and fresh tears began to mix with the rain on her face. Taking a deep breath, she forced back the tears and set her mind to the task. As she worked on the tire, the radio station began to clear. Song after song proclaiming Gods love and strength, poured through the speakers. Their melodies lifted above the sound of the pouring rain and clinking metal of her tools and made it straight to her heart, filling her with heavenly peace. There was no doubt in Jens mind that the Lord was with her, helping her through every second of this horrendous night. She could almost feel His hands guiding hers as she worked on the tire, giving them the strength they needed to complete their work. His words of comfort filled her spirit with calmness and hope and before she knew it, she was finished with the job and back on the road. Lord, you never cease to amaze me! Thank you for helping me tonight. No matter what I find when I get to the hospital . . . I thank you. Stepping from the elevator, she began her long walk down the sterile, white corridor to her fathers room. Family members lingered in the hall, their tear-stained faces causing Jen to fear the worst. Panic began to rise within her once again and she hesitated at the door, suddenly too afraid to take another step. My child, have I not already shown you tonight that I am here with you? The calming words, spoken to her heart by her Lord, renewed her courage and she gently pushed open the door. Oh good . . . you . . . made it. Her father managed to say as he struggled for each breath. Oh, Daddy! Jen exclaimed as she rushed into her fathers embrace. As tears of joy and sorrow streamed down Jens face, she held on to her father for as long as she possibly could. She could tell he fought for each breath he took, as he tried to hang on a little longer. As the minutes ticked by, the sweet spirit that comforted her on the side of the road, found its way into that tiny hospital room. It settled over her and her father like a warm blanket, wrapping them in a comfort she had never known before. As the warmth of the Holy Spirit filled her soul, she could feel the erratic breaths of her father begin to even out. Slow and steady the breaths came until they were so faint, Jen wasnt sure they were even there anymore. Fresh tears begin to fill her eyes as her fathers arms slipped from around her. She knew he was gone. Goodbye, Daddy. I will see you later. She whispered. Gently, Jen lifted her head and kissed him on the cheek, before slowly making her way to the door. As she grasped the handle, she looked back at her father and marveled at the peace on his weathered face. She silently thanked God for helping her survive the storm that fought to keep her from his side. She thanked him for the reassurance that no matter what obstacles she may face in life that He will always be there for her. Most of all, she thanked him for blessing her with getting to feel the strength in her fathers embrace one last time. Back | Next Summer Solstice 2012 Table of Contents

Touch screen module revenue will grow from $4.3 billion in 2009 to nearly $14 billion by 2016, at a compound annual growth rate of 18%, according to DisplaySearch. Jennifer Colegrove, the market research firm's director of Display Technologies, said touch screen penetration is growing rapidly in portable devices and in the coming years will begin to see strong growth in large-size applications.
Resistive touch is still the leading technology in unit shipments, with 90 manufactures supplying it. Projected capacitive technology has attracted many suppliers - the number has almost doubled since last year to 56. The market research firm expects these two technologies to make up almost 98% of touch screen unit share in 2010 and will continue to dominate unit shipments, although by 2016 the share will drop to 82%.
Projected capacitive shipments have increased substantially, in large part thanks to being part of Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch since 2007. With the addition of the iPad and iPhone 4 in 2010 DisplaySearch forecasts projected capacitive touch will surpass resistive touch technology and become the leading touch technology on a revenue basis.
In-cell touch was commercialized in May 2009 and is experiencing high growth and penetration into large size displays. It's expected to achieve higher yield rates and show strong growth in 2011, and grow to more than $600 million by 2016.
On-cell projected capacitive touch, also commercialized in 2009, is showing good growth. Although the market research firm said yield rates remain a concern it forecast the segment to reach $1.7 billion by 2016.
The industry is diverse, with over a dozen touch screen technologies and about 200 suppliers. Some suppliers, such as Elo/Tyco Electronics and 3M, supply several touch technologies. Some suppliers only manufacture controller ICs (such as Atmel and Cypress) and other make complete modules, including the touch sensor and controller IC (such as Elo/Tyco Electronics and 3M).

Acne Disappeared! Throw Your pillow Away And Take Some MSM!
Don't take the provocative heading so seriously and read about my success. My face skin has been in a bad condition since my teens, and some areas have been constantly occupied by acne. I've tried acne drugs that removed acne only to let it come back after stopping the treatment. I have also tried some natural products like tea tree oil and coconut oil but they have had little or no effect at all to my skin. One thing that helped a lot, but didn't make my skin smooth and completely out of spots, was to put my pillow under the mattress. It helped because my skin rubbed against the fabric.
I started to ingest MSM (methylsulfonylmethane, which is found in fresh, non heated food) in november 2013. About 2 weeks after taking MSM orally I noticed that my skin was smoother. My face got better gradually in the next few months and there was fewer spots in my face. Sometimes a few spots decided to pop out of my cheek, but there were times when my skin was completely clean.
I knew for long that MSM is kind of a miracle substance, as I provocatively claim, but I didn't think that I could buy some cheap MSM-cream for my face and my sore hand. Skin absorbes cream better than ingested MSM, and I started to apply it to my face and arm. My skin looks even better after few days of using MSM balm, but my hand is still waiting for the results (MSM alleviates pain, cures inflammation and builds up any tissue that needs sulfur, but my hand's got a slight repetitive strain injury which may not be cured with MSM like some other muscular or joint injury). I've tried so many natural and unnatural substances for health purposes, but nothing has ever impressed me like MSM, though it ain't perfect also.
You can see the results below (the first pic was taken on 1st august 2013 and the other one I took today, 1st august 2014). My skin was much better than it looks like in the first pic even 6 months earlier after quitting pillow use and after taking orally MSM, but the idea of taking a pic of my cleared cheek came into my mind later as my skin has continued to heal and it is better than almost ever. I don't know why these pictures are so different in color as I took them in the same light in the same place of the same room, and I don't know why my cheek shines that much on the right in the second picture (maybe it's the balm) but one can definitely see the change. Read more about MSM if you got interested, there are many things that one should know, like that you shouldn't heat it because it breaks up and you should start ingesting it gradually.

Five-year ban for Shah Rukh Khan at Wankhede
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Bollywood actor and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) owner Shah Rukh Khan was banned on Friday from entering Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium for the next five years but the decision may not be cast in stone yet.
Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) president Vilasrao Deshmukh said Khan's unapologetic behaviour after an altercation with MCA officials at the stadium on Wednesday had left the association with no other option but to ban him.
"He has no regrets about his action or behaviour. In fact he justified the action of manhandling the security guards and threatening MCA officials," Deshmukh, the father of Bollywood actor Riteish, told reporters.
"The managing committee is forced to ban Mr Shah Rukh Khan from entering Wankhede Stadium for a period of five years," he added.
On Wednesday, Khan was prevented from entering the cricket ground after the Kolkata Knight Riders beat the Mumbai Indians in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match. Khan has said he was provoked by the MCA officials and security guards who, the actor alleged, misbehaved with children including his daughter.
IPL Chairman Rajeev Shukla was not sure if the MCA could ban Khan.
"I think MCA can only recommend (the ban)," Shukla, who is also the vice-president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), told reporters. "The decision has to be taken by the BCCI."
MCA vice-president Ratnakar Shetty had no doubts that the situation could have worsened on Wednesday but for the sensible behaviour of the Wankhede officials.
"In spite of being abused in the foulest language, I think people showed great restraint. Otherwise it would have ended up being an ugly incident at the site," Shetty, also the BCCI's chief administrative officer, said.
Khan seemed to have the support of fellow IPL franchise owner Vijay Mallya.
"All I know is that my good friend Shah Rukh Khan is very passionate about his team, very passionate about children," the owner of the Bangalore IPL team told reporters.
"What happened needs to be investigated. That is something strictly between the MCA and the affected person," Mallya added. (Editing by Sudipto Ganguly and Tony Tharakan)

Heroes of Newerth 2.0 Is Here Too
Published on 14 December 2010 03:43 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Free Software
15 Comments
Heroes of Newerth, the multi-platform game where we
gave away thousands of beta keys
last year (more than any other web-site), has now reached version 2.0.
Heroes of Newerth 2.0 contains many in-game improvements highlighted by the video that's embedded below. Of course, the Linux game client was updated in tandem with the Windows and Mac OS X 2.0 builds. S2 Games, the company behind this title, had told us back in September that
their Heroes of Newerth Linux port was a huge success
. Unfortunately, months later they have not yet elaborated on that with any quantitative figures.
Times though are certainly great for Linux gaming with Unigine Corp starting off the week by
expanding their Linux game development competition
to hopefully provide
three new Linux games
Alien Arena 2011
is about to be released,
Frozenbyte's Trine Linux port is nearing completion
there's a new dedicated Linux game porting company
, and
Humble Indie Bundle #2 was just released
. It's only Tuesday and there's already all of this Linux gaming news and the week is far from over.
At the very least, there's one more Linux gaming related item coming up and it will be exclusively detailed on Phoronix this weekend or perhaps Monday.

Go on anon and tell me something you're too afraid to say off anon.

"No matter how bad you fuck up at work, you didn't fucked up this bad"
(via pretendcreativity)
My name is Courtney Love. Six years ago on April 7th, my husband, Kurt Cobain, shot himself to death.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary emotion. If you have ever lived with anybody with depression, you know how they suffer. But you should also know that there is help. Depression is treatable. So it is one of the greatest tragedies on earth that of the thirty-two thousand gun deaths every year in America, seventeen thousand are those who killed themselves. Over twelve hundred kids - three children a day - die from self-inflicted gun wounds. Three children will shoot themselves in this country before the sun goes down. In a moment of desperation and chaos, life is ended because the gun was handy and near, and probably unregistered.
There are those who say, "Oh, please have a gun for protection," but I know better. Suicide is five times more likely in a house with a gun, than in a house without one. Ask any mother who finds her child's body in the bedroom, or who hears a shot in the basement, and rushes down to see her daughter lying on the floor, if guns are really good protection. Ask a child like my little girl, Frances, who will never have her father hold her hand as she walks to school, or teach her to play guitar. Ask her if it's good protection.
I tried to explain to my child that her father is dead, and that hundreds of other children's fathers are dead because we have no way of protecting people from their darkest moments. Because we have nihilistic, barbaric gun laws in this country.
And that's why I am here. If we register guns, if we license gun owners, if we check for criminal records and for mental illness, then we will make it harder for people to buy guns, and then we will save countless lives.
I know if Kurt could see his daughter today, he'd be so glad that he was alive. He'd be so glad to be here walking in the Lincoln Memorial, or buying her an ice cream. I miss my friend. My daughter misses her father.
Thousands and thousands of children thought that his choice was an option for them. An option made so easy. He was a really great boy and a beautiful songwriter. But he also became a symbol for a tragic death — a tragic means of death by gunshot wounds that he would never, ever have wanted to be. Here is how he died: An acquaintance of my husband with a long criminal record, and a record of mental illness, walked into a pawnshop. It took him about five minutes to purchase a shotgun. He handed it to Kurt on April 6th, and on April 7th he was found dead. That's how easy it is.
Thank you.

My Chemical Romance helped me through a lot of crap. They were the first band I obsessed with. I have 89 posters on my wall and more in my drawers. I made a bunch of friends from their Facebook page. I loved these guys since I was 2. My dad used to play them in the car. My first song by them I had listened to them that I can remember was Welcome To The Black Parade. I had learned all the words. I freaking love MCR. I am crying right now. I've never been to a show, and I would love if they done a last tour.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

They were the first ever band I listened to, thanks to my brother back in 2005. Their songs changed my life forever, and without them I probably wouldn't still be here today. I just really want to say goodbye to them by music, and say thank you for all they've done for me.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

I was always "too young" to see MCR play live and now I am finally "old enough" to go they are no longer a band. I would love the opportunity to see them play for the first and unfortunately last time, to be able to say goodbye, and most importantly to say thank you to them. I hae no idea what I would be doing if it weren't for them, or even if I would still be alive rift now. So I want to be able to say thank you and goodbye to the people I have looked up to since I was 6, so quite literally a little girlREPORT THIS COMMENT:

I have been listening to MCR since day one. When I was younger Green Day was my favorite band and right around the time that I was beginning to go through the hell that I call my past, My Chemical Romance came around and saved the day. I remember the first time that my friend played their CD at a party that we were having, we all instantly fell in love. Their lyrics and music have literally saved my life and have helped me to stay strong through so much adversity. They are in my top three favorite bands of all time. I have never had the opportunity to see them live and I would give anything to see a farewell tour. All I want, as I am sure everyone does as well, is to say goodbye and thank you to such a revolutionary and genius band for saving not only my life, but the loves of millions. I feel that it is the least that I can do and I want them to know how much they are truly appreciated and that they will never be forgotten.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

I really had to think hard about anything I didn't like. The Front Desk didn't have access to the kitchen to refill coffee amenities, like cream and sugar, after hours. They ran out by 10:00 PM and I had to leave my group and run up to my room to put cream in my coffee that I got from the kiosk in the lobby. It wasn't a big deal to me but it might be to someone who had a bad night.

First Definitive Higgs Result In 7 Years
kdawson posted more than 6 years ago | from the you-want-mass-with-that dept.197
PhysicsDavid writes "In a suite of new results about the Higgs boson, Fermilab presents the first new definitive evidence on the (lack of) existence of the Higgs boson since the Large Electron Positron collider shut down in 2000. Fermilab hasn't found the Higgs, but can rule out a certain range of masses for the particle that is believed to create mass for all the other particles of nature. Other Higgs news suggests a new likeliest mass range of 115 to 135 GeV for the Higgs. These results were among those presented at the ICHEP 2008 conference currently wrapping up in Philadelphia."
