Neko-chan: Eugh… XDX Yet again, another fanfiction chapter that makes me die inside a little… TTwTT I hope you all are happy.
(Oh, and by the way, this is the order they're sitting in inside the circle, going clockwise: Meiko, Luka, Gakupo, Rin, Len, Kaito, Miku.)
Kaito and Miku returned to the room a few minutes later, outfits exchanged and expressions of embarrassment and annoyance laid out on their face as they sat back down in their spots.
"HA!" Meiko said, pointing and laughing at them in a rather childish manor. The rest of the group laughed as well, though probably no where near as amusedly as the older Vocaloid.
"Hey!" Luka said, a grin on her face. "Didn't I dare you to treat Kaito like a child earlier?"
The male Vocaloids gave Meiko a questioning look, not being here during the dare to know if it was true or not. "Aren't you also supposed to be referring to him as 'Onee,' if I recall correctly?" Miku added, looking as if she thoroughly enjoyed adding to Meiko's annoyed expression.
"I think there should be a penalty for forgetting," Rin stated, smiling.
Meiko let out a long, drawn out sigh. "Alright, what do I have to do?"
"Three shots?" Rin suggested, looking around the group for approval.
Luka shook her head, "Nah, I'd say five at least." Everyone nodded and turned back to the brunette. Shaking her head, she unscrewed the cap to her bottle. Miku handed her an open can of soda, and then Meiko began her shots.
Being used to drinking often, the penalty didn't hurt her too much. Still, the awful taste and sting in the back of her throat was enough to complain over. "Ugh…." Meiko groaned, head lolling back, "I hate you guys sometimes…" She regained her composure quickly. Without lacking the large coating of sarcasm in her tone, she added to Kaito, "Oh, except you onee! You're the best child ever!" The blue-haired Vocaloid's eyes widened in shock, and then closed as he bent over in a fit of laughter.
"Oh wow…" he breathed, "I never would have ever expected to hear that from Meiko, sarcastic or not."
"Enjoy it while you can, basta-…Onee," she corrected herself, forcing a painful smile. Her attention turned to the rest of the group. "Whose turn is it, anyway?"
"Mine, actually," Kaito said, reaching out to spin the empty bottle. It landed on the tall, purple-haired male.
"Gakupo~! Truth or Dare?" he asked.
Gakupo, like almost any other guy trying to show off, proudly chose 'Dare.' Kaito thought for a moment. As an idea came to his mind, his eyes lit up a bit. He lifted a hand up to muffle his laughter as he pointed to the pink haired Vocaloid, "I dare you to give Luka a lap dance!"
The reaction was instantaneous. Luka's entire body tensed as she spoke with a flustered face, "What? NOT FAIR! Why do I have to be affected by his dare?" she spoke the last part pointing to Gakupo, who was now starting to stand up.
Miku shrugged, giggling a bit, "Hey, I was affected by Kaito's dare, so it's only fair."
Luka opened her mouth yet again to argue, but her reply was silenced with shock as Gakupo stood in front of her. She barely managed to utter a, "Wh-wha-" before he began to slowly drop down, hands on hips, right in front of her as he began to give her a lap dance.
"OKAY YOU'RE DONE!" she exclaimed quickly, shoving him away. The entire group by now was laughing hysterically. Gakupo, despite looking just a slight tad embarrassed, seemed rather amused himself. Luka seemed to be the only one looking upset about the whole ordeal. Her head drooped, refusing to meet the eyes of anyone in the group.
"Aw, don't be sad!" Miku said, gently patting her friends shoulder. She snorted as she failed her attempt to keep her composure as she went on to say, "You know you like it!"
The pinkette tensed yet again, followed by a distressed whine. Miku nearly fell over as she roared with laughter. Gakupo, still smiling, leaned forward to spin the bottle.
"Miku, truth or dare?" Gakupo asked once the bottle stopped to point at her.
"Dare!" she exclaimed proudly. He looked up at the ceiling for a few moments while he thought about what to dare. When his eyes returned to the diva, he was wearing a mischievous grin.
"Just because I know the chances of you doing it are so slim and I have yet to see you when you're not sober, I dare you to jump off the roof singing, 'I believe I can fly!' by R. Kelly."
Miku's jaw dropped, and she crossed her arms as she breathed a 'hmph!' before shaking her head. "That's a cruel way to play, my friend. Countdown."
Her hands grasped the bottle and undid the cap with a few twists. Making sure she had a can of Mountain Dew open and ready right next to her, she took a few deep breaths and lifted the bottle's opening up near her mouth.
"Ready," she confirmed. Her hands lifted the bottle just a bit more, and the clear alcohol began to steadily pour into her mouth as Gakupo began to countdown. He went a bit faster than most would, but it didn't make the taste any more bearable. As soon as he was done, the girl shook with disgust, not hesitating to grab the chaser and wash away the taste.
"Ugh…" Miku groaned, eyeing the bottle with disgust. Another shiver spasmed through her one last time before she leaned forward and spun the bottle.
This time it landed on Rin. "Truth or Dare?" she asked. The blonde, not wanting to seem like a coward after all the dares, chose the common answer.
And quickly regretted it.
"I dare you… to spend the rest of the night handcuffed to Len!" Miku giggled. Her voice had raised in pitch a tad; it was a common indicator that the tealette was drunk.
"B-but we don't even have handcuffs!" Rin sputtered the lame excuse quickly. Gakupo, being the creepy pedophile of the group, happily pulled some out of his pocket and handed them to her.
She took the offering with shock, and then looked back to Len for a reaction… He looked at her curiously. His face was slightly flushed as he giggled, "Do it!"
Rin facepalmed, then turned toward Gakupo. "You have keys for this thing, right?"
"Of course," he replied, giving her a reassuring nod.
Rin looked back at the steel contraption, then sighed in defeat. She grabbed her twins right arm and trapped it in one of the loops. Just before she got her left arm in the other side, Len stopped her.
"Wait!" he said, holding both hands out in front of him for emphasis. The handcuffs swayed from his arm, pulled away from Rin's grasp.
"What?" she asked, slightly annoyed.
"I… I have to pee first," he admitted. Rin flinched backwards bit, scared of what may have happened if he had failed to inform her before she clasped the other cuff around her wrist…
"Doo eeehhtttt!" Miku cried happily. Everyone ignored her
Resting her face in a hand, she waved him off, "Go ahead… just…. Make sure the other cuff doesn't clasp… or get dirty," she shivered.
The rest of the group chuckled, but said nothing. Len swayed a bit as he leaned forward, putting his hands on the ground to help support him as he stood up. He giggled a bit as he swayed out of the room, clumsily slamming the door behind him.
"I'll finish the dare when he get's back," Rin reassured before spinning the bottle. It landed on Luka. She let out a large sigh.
"Truth or Dare?" The blonde asked.
Luka flashed a brief smile and responded, "Truth!" Rin had Known Luka for years, and she knew that that smile was a silent plea for her to be merciful in her questioning. Or else.
"….Hm…" she giggled a bit before continuing, "What physical characteristics do you usually like in a guy?"
Luka's eyes widened slightly and she looked around the room, careful to avoid the purple-haired nuisance. "….I….uhm…" After a few moments of gazing at a wall, she breathed a sigh. "Countdown."
Miku giggled her obnoxious high pitched giggle, "Do eettt!"
"Why?" Meiko asked, brown eyebrows raised too high as she looked at the pinkette.
Luka was immediately confused, "Because I can't answer the question….?"
Meiko gasped loudly, causing everyone to look at her. A look of shock and amusement stayed frozen on her face for a good five seconds before she threw her head back dramatically and laughed. Everyone slowly scooted away from the hysterical girl, and she sat up slowly and pointed at Luka, and said, all seriousness "You're a lesbian."
A long moment of silence took place in the white and yellow room. The pinkette slowly sucked in a breath and yelled, "WHAT?"
"Yes." Meiko slurred, saluting and falling onto her back. "I knew it. All a long. I mean, I know I've had a few incidences where I've been like, 'Whoa! That chick has a huge ass, so I stare. Right? But, I'm not…..But you are so….There."
"….Wha-….how did?...NO!"
Meiko giggled drunkenly, And pointed a blood-red painted nail in her direction, "But you…guys characteristic physical."
"Beautiful sentence!" Rin exclaimed, giggling.
"You shush." Meiko said calmly. "But really…You must be. I mean, you've never dated a guy, you don't talk to guys, and when you talk about guys you're BITCHING. You just don't like them."
Luka folded her arms, "That's not true! I like Ga-"
A loud ring sounded from the pigtailed girl's phone, interrupting Luka before she said something she would definitely regret. Miku smiled and nodded, digging her phone out of her pocket. "Oh….Kay….Akita Neru….. "I can't d-do this any…*hic* more, I don't have anything to….live for. No one likes me, god hates me." Miku carried the e in me for a good 20 seconds, and then giggled. "I don't have a reason….reason…to stay in this world any…more…I just wanted-ed say g-goodbye. I really did think of you as a good friend, But tonight I'm the….thinking of…ending it all, hyphen, for good." Miku tilted her head to the side as she finished reading the text from the troll.
Everyone in the room gasped, shocked and scared. "She…wouldn't…Right?" Gakupo asked nervously, eyes flickering back and forth between everyone.
Miku stared at the green-blue phone for a moment before laughing and began typing, "Do eehhhtt!"
Kaito shrugged, "I certainly don't object." He said, raising a bottle of vodka and willingly took a large drink, "Shine ba inoni, Fuck it all, why not."
"Tonight is turning out great!" Meiko said, voice clear and happy.
Luka shot a menacing glare at her, "Weren't you smashed two seconds ago?"
Meiko giggled and stretched out her arms, yawning. "Eh, I got over it." She said, winking at the group, causing everyone, besides Luka of course, to laugh.
Everyone's heads turned to the door as it opened, and the short, drunken teen stumbled in. As he sat back in his spot, Rin sighed. Looking down at the metal contraption, she reluctantly picked it up and trapped her left wrist in the unused clasp.
"Hey!" Gakupo interrupted, turning to Luka. "Weren't you supposed to be drinking?"
"Fuck," she cursed under her breath.
"Let me know when you're ready," Rin told her. Luka let out a large, annoyed sigh as she grabbed the bottle behind her. After unscrewing the lid and bringing it up to her lips, she replied, "Ready."
Rin began the countdown for the second time that night, going just a tad bit slower than usual. Luka winced with each small gulp, eyes screwed shut as the alcohol burned her throat. As soon as the last number left the blonde's mouth, she slammed it down. A few drops sloshed out as she reached around wildly, looking for a can of soda.
"Here," a tall woman said, handing her an opened can of Pepsi. Luka took it gratefully, chugging it in seconds while everyone just stared in horror.
After the can was emptied, she let out a refreshed exhale. "Thanks," she turned to look up at the kind person to help her out, and her jaw dropped.
A tall blonde-haired woman stood in front of her. Everyone terrified expressions were all focused on her as she smiled kindly to the younger girl.
"M-Mrs. K..?" Luka stammered.
"So what are you all doing?" Mrs. Kagamine asked, smiling as she looked around the group.
"BEING DRUNK!" Miku yelled, falling backwards and hitting her head against the metal frame holding up the bed. However, the giggle that followed, along with the large grin on her face as she sat back up implied she wasn't too badly hurt.
Several people in the group facepalmed as what little hope they had of covering it up vanished.
"I see…" she replied, nodding. "May I join?"
Everyone's eyes bulged as a loud silence filled the room. Luka, seemingly the only one with the ability to talk at the moment, looked up at her. Her voice shook with a questioning tone as she answered, "Umm… sure?"
The taller woman laughed heartily, "I'm just kidding. I wouldn't do that." Luka flinched a bit as she waited for her to begin yelling at them all: the younger ones for drinking underage, and the older ones for supplying them. However, no lecture followed.
"I was just checking up on you to see how you all were doing. You all have fun with your game," she said, waving them off as she left the room. "Oh, and make sure you all don't do anything too crazy while you're drunk!" The door slowly closed behind her.
Everyone waited in silence as they listened to her footsteps walk down the hall, waiting to see if she was going to come back and scream. Almost a complete minute followed before Rin spoke, "Holy shit dude…" Her entire body was tensed, and her eyes looked like they could fall out of their sockets at any moment. "That was TERRIFYING…"
"You're mom is AWESWOME!" Len exclaimed, eyes wide in admiration. The group facepalmed, but no one felt the need to correct him.
"Oh my god, I thought I was going to go to jail…" Luka sighed. She was still shaking slightly as she tried to comprehend what just happened.
"Dooo eeeeeht…" Miku whispered intensely, pointing to the bottle in the middle, completely unphased by what just occurred. Luka looked at her, then sighed. She spun the bottle as things slowly began to fall back into their previous rhythm of picking on each other and purposely pissing each other off.
The bottle landed on Meiko. "Dare!" she exclaimed before the question was even asked.
Luka thought about what to dare the other Vocaloid. She was pretty spontaneous on her own, so 'embarrassing' things wouldn't really phase her… She didn't have any particular interest in anyone that Luka knew of… so what should she dare her?
"I dare you… to…." She trailed off, searching her mind for a good dare. Her mind was beginning to fog up a bit after the alcohol. After a few moments of being stared at expectantly by the group, she sighed. "I dunno. Go the next 3 turns blindfolded."
Meiko looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "That's it?"
Luka nodded, being slightly disappointed for not being able to think of anything else.
Meiko nodded in understanding for a few moments, then shouted, "BORING! Alphabet!"
The pink-haired Vocaloid was taken aback, but she didn't question anything. The brunette quickly prepared the chaser and the Vodka. "Ready!"
Luka went through the alphabet at an average pace while she sipped the alcohol. It was over quick enough considering a few of the letters being slurred together, and was soon followed by a chugging of the soda. All the girls in the room who've played the game before slightly tensed as Meiko leaned over and spun the bottle, wondering who would have to suffer her wrath.
It landed on the drunk tealette.
"Truther Dare, Miku," Meiko slurred a bit.
Being too far gone to remember the other available option, she went with the common answer, "Dare!"
Meiko giggled. "To finally make this game start getting interesting, I dare you to kiss Kaito for 10 seconds!"
Chuckles echoed throughout the group as Miku's face flushed bright red. Then her eyes enlarged a tiny bit, and a smile lifted up on her face. "Fine."
Leaning over, she turned the blue-haired Vocaloid's head and kissed him on the cheek, waiting 10 seconds before returning back to her original position, a proud grin taken over her features for being able to find a loophole even in her current state.
"Aww, unfair," he said, pouting. Miku flinched a bit, and then turned to him, smile now replaced with an angry frown, "Sh-shuttup…" she stuttered and slurred at the same time.
Meiko sighed, "Freakin tsundere, paying attention to details even when she's almost completely wasted…"
"Hey, it's your fault for not being specific! I did the dare, so no complaining!" the diva argued, face still red.
"Whatever…" she replied with lacking emotion as she looked around for a clock. She found one hanging above the door.
"Hey, over an hour has passed since this game has started," she noted, a smirk playing on her lips, "I think we should make all of the people in here who almost completely sober take one shot, at least."
"YEAH!" Miku agreed loudly, completely forgetting about the kiss.
"What? That's not fair!" Rin complained, "I went through all my dares and truths fair and square, why should I have to go through a punishment!"
"Oh hush, it's probably for the better anyway," Meiko continued, waving her off. "At this rate, things are only going to get worse. At least being a little tipsy will make things a bit more bearable."
"I agree," Luka said, swaying just a bit. "I think…everyone who hasn't chose to drink at least once… should drink TWO shots…"
"Yeah!" Miku shouted in agreement yet again, "Do eeeeht!"
Rin hissed a sigh, but reluctantly agreed. Kaito and Gakupo, still being 100% sober felt no need to argue with the free alcohol, and quickly got their two shots done and over with.
"Ugh," Rin groaned, eyeing the capful of Vodka with a disgusted expression before hurriedly drinking it and following it up with some Mountain Dew. After doing the same with a second capful and drinking a chaser to erase the foul taste, she put the cap back on the bottle and shivered.
Meiko clapped sarcastically, "I'm so proud of you!" The comment was quickly followed by her own roar of laughter.
Rin shook her head, not bothering to reply. As she looked back up, she could already slightly sense the beginnings of the effects as her head seemed just slightly lighter than usual.
Miku giggled as she leaned toward the center of the circle and twirled the bottle, knowing that now that everyone was going to be at least tipsy and someone had already started the first kiss dare, things were only going to become more interesting from here on out.
Neko-chan: Sorry. I didn't realize asking you for input as to what the dares are is breaking the rules. Please refrain from sending anymore Truth/Dare requests. I'm sorry.

I liked the idea: "halls lowers down your body temperature so that the stuff around you emits more heat..."
" war" execution is probably because of infrared thermal scanners are generally used to detect the enemy around in the dark...
The same idea could be executed in different (and better ways) though.
"Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working." Picasso.
they could've used some other... less war related imagery... the photos subtract form the ad's punch...
Why the bloody hell would you want to have a body temperature lower than metal??? Here's a thought: Use the gun to shoot yourself, then you will stay cold even when you run out of Halls

Of course the earlier comment about the extra work for the db still applies. Leaving off the "on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" part and overriding the update method would save you the extra update per update.

I had the privilege to connect with the Communications Manager of Zotos.com, Jodi, and was able to review three different lines of their amazing hair-care products. Usually products like these come with a hefty price tag, but Zotos flawlessly maintains the balance between high-quality ingredients and amazing results, all at a remarkable price. And that's why these products have made it onto AFrugalChick.com.
The company's promise is to bring its customers affordable, problem-solving products. They are passionate about making simple and foolproof products that give their customers professional results every day. And, they are easy on the budget!
Below is the complete line of items I reviewed from Zotos.com:
First up were the Biotera Products. These included the Rich Lather Shampoo, Daily Conditioner, Deep Moisturizing Conditioner, and Triple-Action Leave-in Treatment. These are a spin on the traditional BioLage products you find at most salons – and they smell great! I used on my hair before work and by the end of the day, my hair still smelled newly-washed. The products also made my hair feel silky smooth and soft. They are part of the Naturelle Biotera product line of Zotos Professional: Biotera Long & Healthy system, fueled by super fruits such as Pomegranate and Acai berry. This helps protect against breakage and split ends, as well as strengthens and lengthens hair.
The next product I was really excited about, and it just came to market this month! It's the Biotera Dry Shampoo, also part of the Naturelle Biotera line. This is the perfect product for those "on-the-go" days when you're running late to work, headed to the grocery store, or the kids kept you up all night and you just don't want to be seen in public before washing and drying your hair. While some dry shampoos are powders (and can leave residue), this product is just a spray and can be used on any hair color or style. Spray, style and go!
Zotos was also kind enough to send some of their Age Beautiful– Anti-Aging Color Preserve System products. This is for all of us who like to color-treat our hair (myself included)! Because these products contain phyto-collagen and keratin peptide protein, they are proven to fight all the signs of aging hair including thinning and dullness. The Age-Beautiful products also help keep your hair looking 50% more vibrant! There are six products in this line to help keep hair beautiful and youthful, including shampoo, conditioner and hairspray.
Speaking of hairspray, if you love heat, you'll love Addict Smoothing & Anti-Frizz Hair Spray. If you blow dry, flat iron, and/or curl your hair, this new collection has damage-blocking formulas to combat the heat. The best part? They have a 72-hour humidity blocker to keep the frizz at bay. Who isn't it need of a frizz-fighter at times? This product is coming soon – available April 2013. If you check Amazon regularly you may be lucky enough to find one or two for sale before April.
To show you just how excited we are about these products, we're giving away a prize pack to one lucky reader! They will receive the AGEbeautiful Shampoo, Conditioner and Hairspray for free.

I am so excited to announce the winner of the Soda Stream Fountain Jet Machine is Doreen! Thank you to all who entered!!
I was amazed at how many people commented about the Soda Stream machine and how useful it would be in your daily lives.
I noticed that so many of you drink soda and spend a pretty penny (actually many, many pennies) on your soda purchases each month. Some of you even said you spend up to $5 a day on soda (which could be more for those of you with bigger families).
I wanted to break it down because there are some important points to make that I've discovered over the course of the giveaway:
If you spend $5 a day on soda, times 30 days – that is $150 per month. In one year, you are spending close to $2,000 on soda! Because so many of you commented on this topic, I thought it's important to note the Soda Stream could save the average household thousands of dollars per year, with or without coupons, as the cost of the actual machine averages $100. Throw in some flavorings and extra bottles, your grand total might be ~$150 max. Although many of you explained it wasn't part of your budget, over the course of the year, it would actually SAVE you money.
Many of you also loved how the Soda Stream saves waste on bottles, cans, etc. You can use, wash, rinse, and re-use the bottles so your recycling bin isn't overflowing. You also aren't lugging soda to and from the grocery store and having to find room to store the soda in your house. You can find additional Soda Stream mixes and bottles on Amazon for under $30 and as part of Prime. Perhaps the most important part of the Soda Stream is it is HEALTHIER for you than soda, too!
Just a few fun facts in case any of you are considering a Soda Stream for your household. Thanks again to all who participated and we have lots of fun giveaways currently running and on the horizon.
Also, be sure to sign up for the Zotos Professional hair care giveaway going on now!

So, we know this is a popular item, as we heard a ton of interest over the holidays. And, in celebration of 15,000 fans on Facebook, we have decided to give one away!
The Soda Stream (for those of you who haven't heard about it) is essentially a beverage carbonating system, so you can turn your average water into a carbonated fruit juice, soda, or other sparkling drink.
The machine comes with a bottle to keep your beverage in (some come with 2 bottles as a bonus as shown in the photo above). There is also a machine stand and "carbonator" – which makes your drinks fizzy. A great benefit is you don't have to worry about lugging cases of sodas to and from the supermarket, and the Soda Stream is a great value! Just use water from your tap or purification system to fill up the bottle, carbonate, and add a flavor pack to enjoy. It literally only takes a few seconds and the flavors you add are made without high-fructose corn syrup or aspartame. There are so many different flavors – you can have fun experimenting. Some of the flavors include: Diet Lemon-Lime, Diet Dr. Pete, Diet Cola, Fountain Mist, Orange, Root Beer, Grapefruit and Diet Cranberry Raspberry, among others. The best part? All the drinks taste like your regular juices and soda – just healthier!
As part of the giveaway, we figured it'd only be fair to try it first before recommending to you. When the Soda Stream arrived, I was so excited to open it. It came in a small box and was easy to put together. They provided us with some extra goodies, as you can see below.
I was confused at first because I didn't see any batteries or cords, but realized once the "carbonator" bottle is inserted into the machine stand, that's all you need. So no plugs, cords, or batteries to replace – you can put this anywhere you want in the kitchen! The carbonator is reusable and fills up to 150 bottles.
One of the biggest reasons this item is flying off the shelves is because this item is Earth-Friendly. Because you don't have tons of bottles or cans from buying sodas and juices at the store, you don't have to worry about storing in your cabinet or fridge. You also don't have to buy multiple different juices to make everyone in the family happy – each person can have their very own beverage without having entire liters of soda or juice go to waste. On the back of the box, the company states that you also save energy wasted by transporting the billions of gallons of soda every day (they have a great promotion video on the homepage of their site as well which demonstrates this idea further).
A huge thank you to Soda Stream, not only for allowing us to try this product but also allowing us to give one away to our dedicated readers.

AES E-Library
Sensory Substitution Systems Using the Skin for the Input to the Brain
A tactile television system has been developed, in which a television camera image is projected onto the skin of the back by means of vibrating electromechanical stimulators. Blind subjects, within a few hours of training, have learned to identify geometric forms, movement in depth, environmental objects, photographs of faces, and block letter words. Tactile stimulation is also being adapted to hearing substitution and artificial kinesthetic feedback for an artificial limb. A prototype portable system utilizing electrical skin stimulation has been recently tested. After sufficient experience the vision substitution system appears to become an extension of the sensory apparatus.

Kibale Vacation Packages
Kibale is situated about 100 miles (161 kilometers) northeast of Kampala, the country's capital.
From firmly-established, must-see spots to hidden gems slightly off the beaten path, the area around Kibale is wonderfully endowed with things to do and see.
Take a break from sightseeing and spend a relaxing afternoon sailing or swimming. No holiday is really complete without some R&R. Bird watching is one of the activities they do to relax here and wildlife watching is another.
There is no better method to learn about an area than sampling the local food. Yams and sometimes bananas are frequently used in meals here. Don't end your stay in Kibale without trying out deep fried grasshoppers and luwombo (stew). Sesame honey candies is a commonly eaten last course. Relax and try moonberg, a popular beer in these parts. Soft drink is great drink to enjoy no matter what time it is.
Travelers heading to Kibale or in other cities and towns in Uganda on the 9th of October, can enjoy country-wide Independence Day celebrations and activities.
Holidays are about meeting new people and having new adventures. Uganda is a great spot for such a holiday.

Price was right, but still looked very cheap.
They were the perfect gift
These earrings are small, but SUPER sparkly and dainty. If you have longer hair, they may not be noticeable, but with your hair pulled up, or for shorter hair, they really catch the light and the eye. I would definitely recommend - just do not be expecting a HUGE rock.
I purchased these earrings to wear with the bule topaz and pearl bracelet. I really like them . Great for an evening out.
I bought these as my "something blue" & I couldn't be more pleased. They are a beautiful color blue, not too much but enough to tell they're blue. They're sparkly and classy, but not crazy blingy. I love them!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? They are even more beautiful in person.
- How accurate was the sizing? Very accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent
These are very pretty and sparkly earrings. I gave them as a Christmas gift to a friend who has a blue topaz ring...they look great together and she's very happy with them.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? True size
- How accurate was the sizing? N/A
I purchased these earrings for my mom for mothers day. These earrings are the perfect match for the bracelet I purchased for her for mothers day too.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? SAME
- How accurate was the sizing? ACCURATE
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. VERY WELL MADE
Loved the style of the earrings and they go well with my other Topaz items of jewellery.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? very similar
- How accurate was the sizing? accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good
the perfect Christmas gift- just the right size.thxs
- Did the image onsite match the product? yes
- Did the product fit true to size? yes
- How is the quality of the product? v good
I purchased this set for my daughter's mother in law. Christmas present, she loved them. The earrings look very nice, of good quality. They look just as nice as more expensive items.
I found this product to be of inferior quality. I was very disappointed when I received it and would not recommend it to anyone else.
I just received this, and they look really cute. I love it, for the price I think it's really worth it.
These earrings have a quiet elegance about them--they are small but large enough to be seen and admired by all. I love the way they sparkle!
These earrings are nice (emphasis on nice) but small. I like the colour, but am still unsure if I'm keeping them.
They are beautiful however I dropped one on the floor and the post broke off. My jeweler was able to fix it....you need to be very careful with these as they are not very durable. Absolutely gorgeous on, and the price is great. They could be mistaken for Aquamarine as the blue is not too dark...they look real.
I bought these earrings and the matching necklace based on the reviews. I was disappointed when I received them. The stone itself is a nice shade of blue, but the cubic zirconia diamonds surrounding it looks very fake. I'm returning both.
These earrings are very cute! They are can be used for casual dress and to dress up. They go great with most things and are very comfortable in your ears. They are not heavy and don't weight your ear down! I really like them and would recommend them :)
I bought these to replace a similar pair that I had lost. These did not disappoint. They were really pretty and caught the light quite nicely. I wear them every day and get so many compliments. Will order another pair for a gift. Also the product arrived in 2 days!!!!
... and that's the bottom line. Personally I didn't like the structure of the silver mounting - the retainer prongs are a little rough in places. But the value is excellent, even given this quibble. Again, the most important thing is that my wife liked them a great deal, especially with the matching necklace pendant.
i bought these earrings and their matching necklace to wear for our wedding coming up in august, and was slightly disappointed. They're a bit lighter color than they are in the picture and look cheaply made. Was sad because they looked great online... in person was different. But that's what i get for buying online right!?! I'm sure they'll look great though with the right outfit but my wedding dress isn't it.

Before we start with this weeks super-duper "What did you do to prep this week" blog segment, I would like to first thank Oren P, Bonnie N, Gary K and Jarhead 03 for their support and generous donations via PayPal this week. Thank you all so very much, your support is greatly appreciated.
I would also like to thank Bam Bam for sending me a big box of her homemade soap for my birthday – thank you :cake: . It is the best smelling package that I've ever opened, Bam Bam you should start selling this – you could start out by selling to friends and co-workers then you could approach local store owners and merchants. Remember the key is in the packaging, if it looks good then folks will buy it.
Also please keep those in the path of hurricane Sandy in your prayers – folks this is a big one that has the potential to cause a lot of destruction. Folks this is why we prep, and I hope everyone is well prepared for this storm …
Okay, what did I do to prep this week?
- Worked on and updated my security system (sorry, folks but I can't go into details).
- Put together more "care packages" to help others in need. Besides the usual food (instant oatmeal, 5 lb bag of rice, canned fruit, hard canddy) and water I've also added a small copy of The New Testament and a copy of The Ten Commandments to each.
- Added 25 cans of dog food for Faith's EOTWAWKI survival kit.
- Two bottles of Tea Tree oil.
And our friends at Paladin Press sent me copies of several or their instructional DVD's and two books including – The Hayduke Silencer Book, Mantrapping, Tactical Combat Casualty Care, Mission-Essential Off-Road Driving 2, and Combat Knife Throwing. My pick of the lot is Tactical Combat Casualty Care excellent instructions as is the norm for The Crucible.
Well that's it for me this week – what about YOU? What did YOU do to prep this week ?:-)

How many days from the past year were really memorable? Do you ever get the sense that they're all passing you by in a squalid rush of watching television in your underwear covered in Doritos dust? The idea behind the crowdfunded 1 Second Everyday app is simple: once you start keeping track of each day's highlights in one second intervals, you'll be inspired to put on pants, go outside, and do things worth recording.
The app consists of a calendar that organizes your video files by date. Select the standout clip from each day and the key representative second from each clip. That's right, just one second - no need for post-production here. Over time as you select more and more clips, your compilation will grow - after a year's gone by, you'll have what should be a fascinating retrospective of the past 365 days (or, if you never left your parents' basement, it'll be a constant stream of computer glare).
It's easy to export and share the compiled video if you like, or you can choose to keep it for yourself. You can also choose to have multiple timelines, so one could be more personal and another destined for spreading across social media, if you like.
The app is free to try for the first 30 days, then it requests a one-time payment of $0.99 - pretty reasonable if you like the concept after a month.
Touch Lab Inc's 1 Second Everyday is an original and well-executed concept - give it a whirl and see if it changes what you do with your day-to-day.

ALEXANDER T. BYARS, SR., is a native of and has always resided in Todd County, Ky., and was born May 5, 1816. He is the son of John S.

Unto John S. and Martha Byars were born Stephen, James, Mary A. (Petty), Alexander T. and Sarah M. (Grant). Mr. Alexander Byars was married April 6, 1843, to Miss Harriet, daughter of John and Nancy (Taliaferro) Ederington, of Todd County, Ky., who was born in 1823 and died in 1853.

Bryant steps up by sitting down
The hand-wringing and advice-flinging officially has ended -- Kobe Bryant will not be participating in the All-Star Game.
The Lakers' best player decided to put the Lakers first and himself second when he opted to sit out this weekend's game in Dallas to rest his ailing ankle.
No real surprise here, even for a guy who often has joked about having to be nearly paralyzed in order to miss a game.
We all know by now Bryant is about winning championships in June not exhibition games in February. This move just proves that again.
So no more counseling Bryant on what he should or shouldn't do as it relates to his ankle injury. Besides, he needs my opinion about as much as he needs my hops.

Head of U. of California Seeks To End SAT Use in Admissions
Published: February 17, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
In addition, the tests, which have become the gatekeeper to many top-tier colleges, have spawned a nationwide preoccupation with test taking. Nearly 90 percent of four-year colleges and universities require the SATs for admission.
Bob Schaefer, president of an an anti-SAT organization called FairTest, predicted that Dr. Atkinson's proposal would extend a debate on the validity of the tests, which has so far been limited to smaller schools, to larger colleges and universities. ''If what Atkinson recommends becomes policy, there'll be no excuse for other large universities not to follow suit,'' Mr. Schaefer said.
Nicholas Lemann, author of ''The Big Test: The Secret History of the American Meritocracy'' (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1999) noted that the University of California system played a critical role in establishing the prominence of the Educational Testing Service in American universities. ''When Atkinson gives this speech, it will not be a happy day for the E.T.S.,'' he said.
But others, like Derek Bok, the former president of Harvard University and co-author of ''The Shape of the River: Long Term consequences of Considering Race in College and University Admissions,'' said other universities would not necessarily follow the University of California's proposed move to drop the SAT's.
Dr. Bok's 1998 book, written with William G. Bowen, a former president of Princeton, examined 28 colleges and universities employing racially sensitive admissions policies, and tracked the long-term effects of having attended institutions with diverse student bodies. He was reluctant to comment on another college president's suggestion, but said he did not expect Harvard eliminating its SAT requirement.
Dr. Atkinson is proposing eventually dropping the SAT II tests, at least until other tests tailored to measure the curricula taught in California high schools can be developed. Ultimately, he said, he would like to move away from numerical measurements of student aptitude, and encourage a more ''holistic'' approach to evaluating candidates.
Perhaps the biggest hurdle for the University of California will be physical, given the size of its applicant pool.
The university system has already chipped away at the pre-eminence of the SAT's, by allowing students in the top four percent of their high school class to bypass the standardized tests in applying for admission.
Dr. Ikenberry, whose council represents 1800 colleges and universities, said elementary schools and universities seemed to be moving in different directions. At public elementary and secondary schools, the national obsession has focused on accountability and testing. At colleges, however, the fear is that tests may have become too powerful as a tool for admissions.
He said he believed proposals like Dr. Atkinson's could have profound effects on students and, ultimately, those who developed standardized admissions tests. Playing down test scores ''will mean greater emphasis being placed on high school achievement and high school grades,'' Dr. Ikenberry said.
''What it will mean is that colleges and universities will be looking more closely at individual courses being taken by students and their achievements in those courses rather than trying to sum it all up in a test score,'' he said.

Immigration reform advocates take appeal international
WASHINGTON — After months of pushing national leaders for action on immigration reform, advocates Monday took their appeal to an international stage, telling the Organization of American States that U.S. immigration policy violates human rights.
A coalition of church groups, academics, labor unions and others appeared before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to argue that current deportation policies run afoul of "international human rights standards" and violate due process rights of deportees.
A State Department official did not respond to the allegations, saying the agency had not time to prepare a response because of the government shutdown earlier this month. But department officials "are here to carefully listen," he said.
Advocates said that fact the hearing was held made an important point.
"What's significant about this is that an international human rights body is really shining a light on an immigration policy that has created a massive criminalization and deportation dragnet program," said Salvador Sarmiento, legislative director of National Day Laborer Organizing Network, one of the groups on the panel.
The panel included 20 faith-based groups, 15 academics, as well as mental health professionals who study the health effects of immigration policy.
Robert Pauw, the attorney who presented the petition for the panel, said U.S. authorities can decide whether or not to deport people who are in this country illegally but they choose not to.
The government needs to take family unity into consideration when it considers whether or not to proceed with a deportation, Pauw said. Current U.S. policies contravene international human rights standards protecting children and family unity, he said, as well as fundamental due process and workers' rights.
But Lawrence Gumbiner, the U.S. deputy permanent representative to the Organization of American States, said "with the government closed and most of its employees furloughed, we lost the time essential for us to engage our inter-agency colleagues and prepare for the hearing."
"We are here to carefully listen to what petitioners and witnesses have to say and take on board any questions and comments from the commission," Gumbiner said.
He said he would follow up in writing in the next 30 days on all the issues raised by the advocates.
Commission members took the testimony with little comment and little or no questioning of the handful of witnesses. They concluded the hearing by saying they would investigate the claims and that they looked forward to the State Department's responses.
Maria Isabel Rivero, an OAS spokeswoman, said "there is no usual procedure after a hearing," but "the Commission receives the information and then discusses as a collegiate body what to do."

December 16, 2009 2:55pm
Editor's Note: This is a series of analysis and observations from the ground in Copenhagen. During the 15th annual climate change conference, Brookings expert Nathan Hultman tracks the negotiations, offering insight into the governance process.
While the Copenhagen delegates are still striving to live up to the "Hopenhagen" slogans plastered across Metro billboards and city buses, a string of logistical missteps and a progressive reduction of access to the conference has increasingly called into question the viability of the current model of climate governance that involves widespread and open-access participation by civil society. What was anticipated to be a smoothly-running Danish operation, able to focus single-mindedly on the massive and challenging task of concluding a new climate treaty, has not yet materialized. Given the grueling list of points that remain to be negotiated, distractions and political stumblings have exposed cracks in the vision of governance via such large international meetings. This vision was most memorably articulated at the Rio meeting in 1992, and focused on establishing transparency and participation as key elements of allowing a global civil society to engage with topics of broad interest.Unfortunately, it appears that the U.N. Secretariat was simply unprepared for the massive influx of delegates attending this conference. On Monday, thousands of registered delegates—mostly from nongovernmental organizations and the media—were forced to queue for up to eight hours in the sub-freezing temperatures to get their entry badges. After this wait, most of them were nevertheless turned away empty-handed. Access was restricted today and by Friday only 90 NGO delegates—roughly half of 1 percent of these delegates—will be allowed into the venue.
These developments, among others, have raised questions about the feasibility of maintaining the Rio vision of transparency and accountability while acknowledging the logistical and institutional challenges emerging from this round of talks. The inclusion of NGO delegates and press creates two benefits:
The open governance structure therefore enables a massive and decentralized building of intellectual capacity to understand climate change in the disparate cultures and communities of the world. There is no doubt that climate change is a complex and challenging topic to understand and to tackle; a healthy engagement by world NGOs at these Conferences has been a critical part of ensuring that the discussions at the highest levels are not completely detached from the people that they should be serving.
In the end, the Secretariat and the conference leadership do not have to answer to voters or individual constituencies. Unfortunately, a partly understandable tendency to restrict access undermines the governance procedures that have served it well as an innovative institutional framework in the past. Once the dust settles—whether Copenhagen produces a treaty or not—this institutional dimension must be addressed, lest this meeting be remembered as the time that the open and inclusive opportunities for participation led the hitherto successful system to collapse under its own weight.

Dominic is delivering $2m to buy the freedom of some prisoners that have been held for 20 years by a corrupt Cuban Colonel, with money raised by some Cuban exiles who now live in Florida, but just as he is delivering the money, it is grabbed by some mercenaries who appear out of nowhere and promptly vanish again. With Dominic's damaged helicopter forced to set down, one of the Firm's listening posts picks up Dominic's distress call, and after Archangel alerts him, Hawke sets off to help his friend. The exiles blame Dominic for the loss of the money, and as Hawke helps him prove his innocence, they find themselves discovering a mercenary group funded by none other than the Firm, who are in league with the corrupt Colonel...moreless

At the climax, seeing as Hawke fires a rocket at Sanchez's helicopter, which causes it to explode (model work), there is absolutely no wreckage on the ground in any of the following shots!
(Archangel and Marella are meeting in the bar to collect the three million dollars to be used as ransom)
Stella: Stringfellow, who are these people? Why are they being so generous?
Archangel: Good question
Hawke: They, uh, represent a firm that... makes covers, keep things under wraps
Archangel(dryly): You're enjoying this, aren't you
Archangel: Set down immediately, that's an order, do you hear?
Hawke: You gotta be kiddin'
Archangel: Alright it's not a order it's a request. Make it a plea for sanity
Hawke: No, to all three
Archangel: Hawke, the storm will be over in a couple of hours
Hawke: Don't let that angel title go to your head... only God can make the weather
Archangel: What the hell is Santini doing in Cuba?
Hawke: Why don't you ask him?!
Archangel: I will. He's a man who knows the location of Airwolf and when he starts junketing off to the land of rum and fine cigars, I get a little concerned about him.
Hawke: Well I'm going after him – I'll tell him how you care
Archangel: Do that
Marella: There's another serious factor which might shorten your time.
Hawke: Who created this 'serious factor'?
Marella: Only God can create a hurricane
Much of the arial footage from this episode was reused in the video version of the Pilot episode.
This episode is directed by David Hemmings – better recognised as Airwolf's sadistic creator, Dr. George Henry Moffet(t) as seen in the Pilot and the second season episode 'Moffett's Ghost'. Hemmings' numerous other directional works include a number of third, fourth, and fifth season episodes of 'The A-Team', and episodes of Donald P. Bellisario's later hit, 'Quantum Leap'.

This is a spoof of a 1941 musical/romance movie titled "Moon Over Miami" starring Don Ameche and Betty Grable.

Now, I recognize that the BAA has more or less allowed bandits to run the course over the years. As such, it might not have been that bad if the author had simply stated something along the following lines: he respects the talent and effort it takes to qualify and he recognizes that, since he has not done so, his participation is not the same as a legitimate qualifier, but he is nevertheless giving his experiences as a first time marathoner, not as someone who has properly trained and qualified for Boston. But, the author makes no such statement.
In fact, the author berates Marty Liquori for suggesting that bandits should not be allowed to run. Here's an excerpt from the book (p. 43):
"Listen Marty, you're our guest. So mind your manners, pick up your check, and watch the race. When I cross that finish line some twenty-six miles down the road, not with a number but with the storied history of the Boston Marathon in my blood, then I will consider myself qualified!Read more ›
The author takes you through the course mile by mile - talking through the landmarks, history and even technical discussions of the course itself. I have to say that after reading the book, I felt even more honored to participate in the race (and a little nervous). The author does a wonderful job of capturing how this just isn't a race, it's an event that stretches through over a century of history - not only of the course, but of distance running itself.
Reading it before hand, made the course more alive and familiar to me while I ran it. Recognizing the landmarks and knowing the history behind each one gave me something to look forward to each mile (and in the later miles keep my mind off the suffering). And finally, it gave me a sense for the spirit of the event itself and the personal stories that are inextricably linked each year to it.
I did read a few reviews that admonished the author for running as a bandit, I respect that perspective and don't condone bandit'ing the race.
However, the author's real value in this book isn't his running prowess (as he readily admits time and time again). Rather, it's the hard work and research he obviously invested to bring all of this history to the reader. I can't think of a better way to personalize the 'data' than to relate it to an actual running of the course. True, it would be ideal if the author was also an elite runner who had qualified - but barring that intersection, I think it would have been a shame to not have this author share his research in the way that he did. That's what I believe the review should be rated on.
Hope you found this helpful. I strongly recommend this book and think it should almost be a required reading for anyone signing up to run Boston.
You'll be happy you read it!

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Elementary includes grades K through 6 where all subjects are taught at each grade level. I have a Ph.D. in Elementary Education. I taught 5th & 6th grade for five years and taught courses in elementary education at the university level for 20+ years.
I was a university professor for 28 years. I have a great deal of proofreading experience. I read and corrected student papers while I was teaching. I also did proofreading for a couple of publishing companies for social studies materials that they were going to publish. I taught graduate classes as well as undergraduate classes in elementary education and graded graduate papers. I have also written my own.
Study skills include such things as how to listen, how to take notes, how to read materials and pick out the things that are important, how to manage time, how to work alone and with others, and how to analyze, synthesize, and make evaluations. It also involves time management and organization. It requires critical and creative thinking and the ability to solve problems.
