How do I set up or manage my Q?
Go to our homepage (www.ThriveLife.com) and click on the Q tab at the top of the page. If you already have a Q, you will be taken to your Q dashboard, where you can manage your Q. If you do not yet have a Q, you will be taken to the Q landing page. Inside the Q, there are detailed tutorials on each of the three panels to show you how to add items, manage your Q, and review your shipments.
How do I add products to my Q?
Go to the "Add Items" panel located on the left side of your Q. You can add individual foods to your Q, or you can click Recipes on the green menu bar to add products by selecting recipes and letting the Q add each of the THRIVE products used in the recipe. You can also select Meal Plans from the green menu bar to add meal plans to your Q, which are collections of recipes. Simply click the green Add button underneath a product, recipe, or meal plan to add it to your Q.
Can I add packages to a Q shipment?
Yes, the Home Store Q allows you to add these items to your shipments. To add an item, go to the item's product page on the website. Next to the Add to Cart button is an Add to Q button. Click this button and then select the quantity and which shipment you would like to add the item to. Please be aware that these extra items will be added on top of your monthly budget amount, not included within it. You can also add items from the Shipments panel of your Q by entering the catalog ID of the item and clicking Add underneath the desired shipment.
Why don't my monthly shipments match my exact budget amount?
Your Q calculates shipments based on your monthly budget amount. Your Q will ensure that your subtotal for each shipment (the product total before tax and shipping) is never more than your monthly budget amount (unless you selected the option to meet minimum amounts for rank qualification purposes). The Q will keep your shipments as close to your monthly budget as possible, but because of the difference in price between our foods, your subtotal will usually not hit your exact budget amount. Shipping and tax on your shipments are not included in your monthly budget amount. There is an option on the Q when you set up your budget to allow the system to fill your shipments to slightly above your budget. This feature allows consultants to keep their Q shipments at levels required for qualifications, but is not necessary
What is the difference between my Q (on the My Q panel) and my shipments (on the Shipments panel)?
Your Q consists of all the foods you eat often and would like to receive in your shipments. The items in your Q do not have quantities and may not be added multiple times or in multiple sizes. You simply choose the size you would like to receive and how frequently you would like the product added to your shipments. The Q then creates shipments for you based on your budget, the foods in your Q, and the frequencies set on those foods.
You can edit specific shipments at any time by going to the Shipments panel on the right side of the Q and adding, changing, or deleting items. You can also change the ship date for any shipment. Removing an item from a shipment removes it only from that specific shipment; the item may still be added to future shipments because it is still in your Q. If you remove an item from your Q, you will not receive that item in any future shipments.
How do I edit my Q Settings, such as budget, shipping, delivery, billing, or Q Club information?
You can change your Q settings by selecting Settings from the gray menu bar at the top of your Q and editing the information you would like to change.
I've noticed a difference in the price of my shipment. Why have I seen a fluctuation?
The price of your Q plan may fluctuate depending on our current website pricing. If an item in your plan goes on or off sale, or up or down in retail price, your Q will automatically reflect that change. This will cause the total amount of your monthly shipments to fluctuate. You will always get the lowest sale price on your Q items.
When will my shipments arrive at my home?
Packages will be shipped out the day you select to be billed every month, provided that all products are in stock. In the continental United States, shipments will usually arrive at your home within 5–7 business days from the shipping date. If a product in your shipment is on backorder, your order may be held up to 10 business days in order to be fulfilled.
Is there a time commitment for my Q?
Home Party customers and consultants are required to keep the Q active at the initial monthly budget amount for at least your first three shipments. Click here to read about the benefits of becoming a Home Party customer.
What is the minimum monthly budget for my Q?
There is no minimum budget requirement. However, the Q will not allow you to go below the highest priced item in your Q plus tax and shipping.
Is the Q program available to customers outside the continental US?
Our Q program is available in all our current markets: Continental US, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Japan. However, not all products are available in all areas. Make sure the correct region is selected at the top right corner of the homepage to set up a Q in that region.
What forms of payment can I use for the Q?
We accept all credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, and American Express).
What if my credit card expires or is declined?
If your credit card is declined for any reason, you will be sent an e-mail informing you of this issue. Your Q shipments will be paused until the issue is resolved. Any issue can be resolved by calling our front office at 801-756-9902 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
What is the Q Club?
The Q Club is an exclusive rewards program that helps you get even more benefits on the Q! Membership is only $79.99, and you'll get benefits like first access to new products, Q-pons for discounted product each month, exclusive recipes, and reward points toward free product for every dollar you spend on the Q!
How do I enroll in the Q Club?
You can enroll in the Q Club by clicking Settings in the gray menu bar at the top of your Q. Under the Q Club section, select Add Q Club Membership.
How are Q Club points accrued?
Q Club members earn 3 points for every dollar spent on the Q, and every 100 points equals $1.00.
How do I redeem my Q Club points?
You can redeem your Q Club points at checkout as a payment option. You can either maximize your points to their full value/purchase amount, or you can choose the amount you wish to spend.
How can I get my Q Club membership free for life?
See our Q Club page for the current promotion that will allow you to be a Q Club member free for life.
Is there an annual renewal fee to stay in Q Club?
No. Once you have paid the enrollment fee (or enrolled for free through a promotion), you will continue to receive all the great Q Club benefits for as long as you're on the Q!
If I am a consultant, do I get free Q Club membership?
Yes, consultants receive free Q Club membership.
If I am no longer on the Q, can I still use my Q Club points?
Yes, any Q Club points you have earned will still be accessible to you even if you are no longer on the Q. However, your Q Club points will expire when your account has had no activity for 6 consecutive months.

Janine Edwards takes a closer look at the latest juice trend
I was really excited about trying the range of Moju cold pressed juices, as not only does the name sound uber cool but I was totally intrigued by the flavour combinations Moju had to offer. The brand focus on offering cold pressed juices – these are made with a hydraulic press that uses pressure to extract the maximum amount of liquid from fresh fruit and vegetables. No extra heat or oxygen is needed in the process, ensuring that no nutrients are lost, which can be a factor if you use a traditional pasteurisation method.
Available in 250ml bottles, I first tried the vitamin and potassium rich green juice, containing kale, spinach, apple, cucumber, celery, lemon and ginger. Per 100ml, this one only has 27.8 calories, with 0.2g of total fat and no saturates. The carbohydrates all come in the form of sugar from the fruit (weighing in at 5.4g), while the protein content is 1.1g.
For that extra boost of vitamin C, the orange juice (which funnily enough doesn't include oranges) is a good choice containing carrot, apple, red pepper, ginger and turmeric. Per 100ml, the orange juice has 31 calories, yet the same fat content as the green juice. Carbohydrates come in higher at 7.1g, although the sugar content is 6.5g. Protein provides 0.2g of the total.
If you're looking for something nutrient rich, then the purple juice is for you, as it contains beetroot, apple, carrot, cucumber and lemon. With 32.6 calories per 100ml, the fat content is again the same, the protein reading in at 0.4g. The carbohydrate content is 7.3g with 7g of this being sugar.
It's safe to say that on trying Moju, I was not disappointed as the flavour combinations blew my mind. At £2.95 per juice, I found these were a great little pick me up in the mornings to kick start the day, or great for a pre workout energy boost before the gym. These are light and refreshing, with nothing but goodness crammed in to the bottle.

Student Support Services is funded by two federal TRIO grants totaling $558,958 annually. This funding accounts for 100% of the project's total costs. This is the first year of a new five year grant cycle for both the Classic and Disability Grants. We are happy to continue to provide these long standing services.
The program is designed to:
The mission of ASPIRE-Student Support Services is to assist students and improve the campus climate in order to increase the retention and graduation rate of first-generation college students, low income students or students with disabilities. Students will persist and complete their educational programs and enhance their likelihood of entering into a graduate or professional school through quality services provided by committed staff.
TRIO programs are federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Our nation has asserted a commitment to providing educational opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background or economic circumstance.
In support of this commitment, Congress established a series of programs to help low-income Americans enter college, graduate and move on to participate more fully in America's economic and social life. These Programs are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIO Programs (initially just three programs). While student financial aid programs help students overcome financial barriers to higher education, TRIO programs help students overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education.

Note: In order to see these images in the slide show, you must posess a pair of Red/Cyan 3D glasses, the type I used is the pair from Guiness World Records 2009, which contained this imagery. IMAX and the dark-coloured 3D cinema glasses will not work!
Ok, so I was looking at the images in GWR 2009, and thought:
Is there a way I could do this myself, without expensive kit?
So I searched you tube for tutorial videos on what the easiest way to do this was, and found this:

We inhaled these like Sqidward in "Sponge Bob Sqare Pants (the episode where he discovers how tasty the crab cakes are). Thanks for a great recipe!
These crab cakes are amazing. The best thing about them is they aren't fried, so no messy grease splatters to clean up. They had a wonderful golden crunchy coating and we ate them all until they were gone. Seasoned to perfection. Thanks for a recipe we will use regularly.
Whoa - these were the saltiest crab cakes I've ever tasted. I even used the lower sodium old bay seasoning. Ooooph. I did use canned fancy lump crabmeat. But, I've used it in another crab cake I've made and it wasn't as salty... I'm not sure what I could do different. I liked baking them, instead of frying them in oil... I gave it a three. It was so easy to prepare, but too salty.

I am torn about this, I love her pictorials and how she has evolved from a "punk babe" to her more recent "glamor babe" look. Now to seeing her as "Just another porn babe getting banged by hoards of guy's" is a step back for her.

Bit of an overstatement there Dave. So far, she has been only fucking one guy and lets hope she keeps it that way. She's not your typical porn whore.

Galaxy Note 7: compelling first device, disappointing upgrade
Samsung has finally removed the covers off the Galaxy Note 7, perhaps one of this year's worst kept secrets. Unsurprisingly, the phablet is getting rather mixed reviews, with most of the negativity coming from those who have spent quality time with a Galaxy Note or two in the past. But why is this phablet, whose size and stylus has already been vindicated by Apple, failing to capture the hearts of even some of Samsung's stalwart fans? The reason is less about the specs, which are excellent in themselves, but more about a trend that has the stylus-faithful a tad worried.

Here's an example of what you get if you run a retailer that doesn't seem to require that its chief executives devote lots of time to getting photographed with Twiggy or Dannii Minogue and instead gives customers what they want, when they want it. Primark doesn't seem to require ads with the budgets of small films, or even much publicity. It's certainly not going to get the egg that M&S's Mylene Klass dropped (see the latter's latest lavish production on YouTube) all over its face by contrast to its bigger, posher high-street rival, which failed to order enough woolies when it was cold.
That fact shone through in the numbers put out by Primark's owner, Associated British Foods. ABF's earnings would have been sweet without the discount clothes retailer. Its sugar business has been doing rather well in its own right.
But Primark stands out. Despite warnings of challenging conditions on the High Street and especially in the eurozone, where it has lots of shops, Primark is still growing same-store sales while adding new outlets at a rapid pace.
Perhaps this is as much because of the economic conditions as it is in spite of them. Why pay Twiggy's fees for M&S when you can get serviceable undies at a fraction of the cost from the discounter?
This is a question being asked in a far wider array of homes than the lower income households that might once have been seen as Primark's prime customer base.
Those who wince at some of its more controversial children's fashions, or its sourcing of goods from the Third World (it is hardly alone there), are increasingly finding themselves in the minority.
Is it any wonder? Yesterday figures showed that public sector borrowing in March suffered a setback. Tax revenues are not keeping pace with public spending and economists are warning that there is worse to come, given the widespread scepticism about the Office For Budgetary Responsibility's growth forecasts.
Things are going to be tough for the next few years, even if you take a relatively optimistic view of Britain's economic prospects. They may be downright grim if the unsettling news from the eurozone continues.
Incomes are still failing to keep pace with this country's stubbornly high inflation and the consumer squeeze is a fact of life for everyone outside the handful lucky enough to be paying the top rate of tax (and now benefitting from the Chancellor's prezzie of a 5p tax cut). No wonder ABF's discounter has found itself in such a groove. Like it or not, we are all Primark now.Reuse content

Really nice place the food was great i tried the soup in bread i'm sorry i cant remember the name but there is a picture on the menu cant go wrong. The place was warm and welcoming with and extensive menu. very competitive too. You got good service
Not so cheap, but okay. The music in the restaurant is very loud and terrible. Not for old people. Only for teenagers.
We had to wait something like 70 min to get a cake, two grilled chicken breasts and some fries. the chicken was like chewing gum and the fries were cold. The table was very dirty. my mom left all the "cake" on the place. was a "cake" made with the same recipe of the pizza, and not the traditional "lichiu...
Serving slow. Waiters confused orders.
Do not order cheese dumplings. Three cocoons boiled, tasteless, covered with cream and blueberry jam.
All I can say is that we waited 25 minutes for the waiter. We tried to attract his attention a couple of times but all he did was to yell something in Romanian to us. We ended up leaving the restaurant without eating or even getting the menu.
Had a pizza there on my first evening in Sighisoara. Was recommended by a friend of mine who was born here. Have to say it is a nice place. Pizza was really good, music was nice and not so loud. Staff was good and helpful.
I went there for a pizza in my first day in Sighisoara. I stayed 4 days but i never came back again. The terace in nice and that was the reason to go there to eat. But the pizza was not good and the waitress was just a person around us, not helpfull. We ask 2 different pizza and we...
The food is good and the prices are quite low. Some of the portions are a bit too much, but we still did our best to finish it all.
It is a "must go place " in the city, the biggest outdoor patio and really awesome karaoke till the last weekend in June happening in the mezzanine More than decent pizza and meals.
We customarily go to a nearby eatery but thought we'd this place as a different point of venue. We had noticed that frequently it was either empty or near empty often in contradiction to the nearby competition...and we soon found out why! The terrace area where we sat was visibly dirty and apparently not cared for sometime. Flies & hornets...

An amusing book.
Wollie Shelley manages a greetign card store and is participating in a dating project to earn money to buy the store. On a trip to visit her brother in a mental health institution she discovers a body and meets a good looking man dressed as a surgeon.
I picked this up recently at our local Friends of the Library sale because the title and cover caught my eye. I found myself really enjoying the book, even though I never felt the level of danger equaled the situations in which Wollie and her friends found themselves. In this regard it was incredibly like the Stephanie Plum series which is never a bad thing. Some lines were laugh out loud funny. The end was very compelling and I'm curious to know what happens next to Wollie.
Just realized I read this book 4 years ago! I thought I had read about Wollie somewhere! Just goes to show this book was not very memorable if the only thing I remembered about it was the characters first name!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0767921232, Paperback)Los Angeles greeting-card artist Wollie Shelley is dating forty men in sixty days as research for a radio talk show host's upcoming book, How to Avoid Getting Dumped All the Time. Wollie is meeting plenty of eligible bachelors but not falling in love, not until she stumbles over a dead body en route to Rio Pescado—a state-run mental hospital—and is momentarily taken hostage by a charismatic "doctor" who is on the run from the Mob. Wollie fears that her beloved brother, a paranoid schizophrenic living at Rio Pescado, is involved in the murder, so rather than go to the authorities, she decides to solve the crime on her own. As she meets up with an array of small-time crooks and swaggering mobsters only slightly more sinister than the men she's been dating, Wollie realizes that "getting dumped" is the least of her problems. Finding true love, she discovers, sometimes means learning how to avoid getting killed . . .

So, I'm out of trading. I'm completing one more trade of a show that I've been after for ages, and that's that.
The things I'm really attached to, I have burned on DVD, and the rest, I can live without when it's not for collecting. I made a clean cut, closed my site and left all the LJ communities.
Might probably be better to get out of something so time-consuming with so much work at uni coming up.

A few days ago, The Straits Times wrote that public servants's computers will be cut off from Internet access.
Singapore public servants' computers to have no Internet access from May next year
All computers used officially by public servants in Singapore will be cut off from the Internet from May next year, in an unprecedented move to tighten security.
A memo is going out to all government agencies, ministries and statutory boards here about the Internet blockade a year from now, The Straits Times has learnt.
This news generated a huge buzz, with many interesting memes from SGAG to ridicule the policy. IDA came out to clarify about facts and myths here. And even PM Lee talked about the necessity of this measure.
I am extremely concerned with the announcement of the policy. First of all, the title from above is extremely misleading. There will be no Internet from the public servants's work terminal. This does not mean that the public service will have zero access to the Internet. There is no doubt that it has generated inconvenience, but every ministry, stat board and agency affected will be looking for possible solution to minimize the impact from this new measure. Some possible solutions includes allowing Internet surfing through personal devices using the WiFi services provided by the agency, or issuing an extra device just for Internet surfing. So yes, there will be inconvenience, but public servants will still have access to the Internet.
Secondly, mitigation measures to minimize the impact of this new policy should be considered in parallel with the planning of this policy. It seems to me that this policy was rushed to roll out and not given enough thought and debate. Deriving a solution to minimize the impact should be included in the policy, or at worst as strong recommendations, and not left as a problem for individual agency to solve. This policy, which clearly showed that things are not thought through thoroughly, shows the inadequacy of IDA's planning. Pretty disappointing if you ask me.
Thirdly, the underlying rationale for this move was not conveyed well. The media highlighted the move was inevitable with security in mind. They did not emphasize the real motivation behind the decision to cut off Internet from work terminals. I have mentioned before that the human factor is the weakest link in most security systems. The underlying reason behind this move, I believe, is the lack of cybersecurity awareness in public servants. Public servants who has access to the Internet fall for phishing emails, click baits, unintentionally downloading malware into their work terminals. In worse cases, sending classified information to their personal emails to complete at home. As long as their work terminals, which contains classified information, is connected to the Internet, it provides an access point for attackers. On top of that, the Government Enterprise Network links the public service together. This is why attacking through a single terminal in an agency may give the attacker access to other agencies. Thus, IDA decided to cut the Internet from everyone. This is also the reason why teachers, who fortunately do not use the Government Enterprise Network, are spared from this policy.
Cyber threats are to be taken very seriously, and no effort should be spared in ensuring the security of our systems. However, this does not mean that the efficiency of day to day operations should be compromised. Security experts often have to design security measures while ensuring systems are still able to operate efficiently. For example, if WhatsApp implements a security measure but each message takes 3 minutes to be sent out, I'm sure there will be no more users in a month. At first glance, it seems that this policy will greatly impede the efficiency of the public service. It remains to be seen how they propose to reduce the impact of this.

Sydney - Former Australia captain Rocky Elsom
made his long-awaited return to the Waratahs side in a
30-21 home win over the Rebels on Saturday.
Elsom came
off the bench in the 65th minute to make his first appearance for the
Waratahs in his second spell after missing the start of the season with a
hamstring injury.
However, the powerful flanker's appearance
came as the Waratahs fell into defensive mode to protect a lead, a
common fault this year, as they squandered a 30-7 advantage to make it a
nervous last few minutes as the Rebels sniffed an unlikely win. The
home side clung on to record their fourth win from eight games this year
and move top of the Australian Conference.
"We started very
well and strung a few good phases together but I think in that second
half we let it get away from us, too many penalties again," Waratahs
captain Benn Robinson said in a pitchside interview.
Waratahs were quick out of the blocks and opened the scoring with a try
after 26 seconds. Having recovered their kickoff, they progressed
forward and a neat handling move involving several backs and forwards
set fullback Bernard Foley clear to cross the line
Brendan McKibbin converted and added another three penalties in the
first half as the Waratahs bossed the game against a Rebels side who
were guilty of numerous handling errors.
The Rebels did show
some positive signs in the first period and they came up with a
23rd-minute try when hooker Ged Robinson completed the easy job of
touching down after his forwards had caught a lineout and driven over
the line.
Wallaby utility back James O'Connor kicked the tricky
conversion from the touchline as the Rebels went in 16-7 down at
The Rebels were again slow to start the second period
and Waratahs hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau scored a clever try in the corner
in the 47th minute after exchanging close-range passes with number eight
Wycliff Palu off a lineout for the home side.
Another try came
10 minutes later after a period of heavy Waratahs pressure with centre
Rob Horne crashing over after 13 phases. Horne was sent to the sin bin
shortly after for a clumsy spear tackle.
The Rebels exploited
the space created by Horne's absence to score their second try through
replacement Tim Davidson, which fullback Kurtley Beale converted after
taking over the kicking when O'Connor was forced from the field with
Beale then sucked in two defenders before feeding a pass
to winger Lachlan Mitchell to cross for the Rebels' third try with six
minutes left but that was as close as the visitors would get as they
slumped to their sixth loss in eight games this year.
"It was a
very slow start from us, but we seemed to pick it up towards the end of
the first and then went to sleep at the start of the second," Rebels
captain Gareth Delve bemoaned.Beale, Julian Huxley.

Laurinburg Companies Unlawfully Fired Pentecostal Employee for Refusing to Wear Pants, Federal Agency Charged
LAURINBURG, N.C. - Scottish Food Systems, Inc. and Laurinburg KFC Take Home, Inc. will pay $40,000 and furnish other relief to resolve a religious discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. Scottish Food Systems and Laurinburg KFC Take Home are based in Laurinburg, N.C. and jointly operate a chain of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in North Carolina.
According to the EEOC's complaint, Sheila Silver converted to Pentecostalism in 2010. As a member of the Pentecostal church, Silver believes women cannot wear pants. In accordance with this religious belief, Silver has not worn pants since the fall of 2010. Silver has worked for various Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants since 1992. Scottish Food Systems and Laurinburg KFC Take Home purchased the KFC restaurant where Silver worked in Rocky Mount, N.C., in April 2013. The EEOC's complaint alleged that the companies informed Silver she must wear pants to work because of their dress code policy. According to the EEOC, Silver told Scottish Food Systems and Laurinburg KFC Take Home she could not wear pants because of her religious beliefs. However, the companies ultimately fired her for refusing to wear pants to work.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which requires employers to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs as long as doing so would not pose an undue hardship. The EEOC filed suit on September 19, 2013 in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina (EEOC v. Scottish Food Systems, Inc. and Laurinburg KFC Take Home, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:13-CV-00796) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
In addition to monetary damages, the three-year consent decree resolving the suit requires Scottish Food Systems and Laurinburg KFC Take Home to adopt a formal religious accommodation policy and to conduct an annual training program on the requirements of Title VII and its prohibition against religious discrimination. Scottish Food Systems and Laurinburg KFC Take Home will also post a copy of their anti-discrimination policy at all of their facilities.
"Employers must accommodate an employee's sincerely held religious belief when such an accommodation would not pose an undue hardship," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "This case demonstrates the EEOC's continued commitment to fighting religious discrimination in the workplace."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov

Immigration attorneys (sometimes called "green card lawyers") represent people who want to come to the United States, whether it be for schooling, work, or just a visit. Immigration lawyers can also help undocumented immigrants found living in the U.S. without permission. Immigration laws govern who can enter the U.S., how long they can stay, what they can do while they are here, and how they can become American citizens. If you are not a U.S. citizen and want to apply for a green card or other visa, or if you are already in the U.S. and have been threatened with deportation, an immigration lawyer can help you.

This review is from: Rosewill RK-9000BR - Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown Switches
Pros: My first mechanical keyboard, enjoying it I seem to type faster and the keys feel really nice. The usb/ps2 wire is threaded which is nice and doesn't feel cheap like other people say. Really enjoying it so far and glad it has a numpad.
Cons: The USB port of course like everyone else says feels really loose and flimsy. If you touch the micro usb wire with it connected to the port on the keyboard it wiggles along with the entire socket. Don't understand why Rosewill doesn't just come up with a better solution to fix the one flaw everyone has been complaining about for ages with this keyboard. Just holding my breathe and praying the solder points don't detach one day but so far for the price I got this at it's great.
Other Thoughts: Newegg would not ship to my state for some bizarre reason so I had to order it on that bidding website Weird Al made a song about which newegg has a store on which I assume uses the same warehouse which really makes me wonder why in the world they don't just ship it from their own website to New York?READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: MSI P67A-C43 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: It works, things fit.
Cons: Do yourself a favor and immediately turn off everything in the Green Power bios menu. I went through 2 days of hassle trying to figure out what in my computer was making a horrid buzzing sound that drove me to near insanity. I finally isolated it to my motherboard and right before RMAing it I decided to check the bios and once I turned off the Green Power and the sound was gone! You really need to get this sorted out it's unacceptable to have your motherboard make a buzzing sound MSI. Either fix the issue or have green settings off by default.
Other Thoughts: Two days of annoyance and headache but I seem to have weathered the storm. Just hope my review can save someone else the pain I suffered.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Pinnacle 82301006351 Dazzle DVD Recorder
Pros: I honestly can't think of any.
Cons: Once it finally arrived and I opened it up to find a warning saying it contained a dangerous amount of led and to wash my hands after using I should of put it right back in it's box and sent it back for a refund but nope I actually tried to get this junk to work. After trying for 10 minutes to get the terrible drivers it comes with to work I download some drivers off the website and after 3 more reboots it finally picked up video... but wait? I can't find the audio device to select in my capture program. I'm stuck with audio and no video. After an hour of searching online I find out WHICH THEY DID NOT SAY ANYWHERE that you can only hear the audio in the software designed by pinnacle which I might add is a piece of junk. How ridiculous is this? So thanks for wasted money and alot of wasted time trying to get this trash to work.
Other Thoughts: Save yourself time and money and skip this. There is a good alternative which does the exact same thing for 10 bucks except it works. Only wish I found out about it before I bought thisREAD FULL REVIEW

Used before an electric shave, and the resaults are amazing no soarness to skin, and a smooth and easy shave try it. Shavers delivery service excellent also.
I've been electric shaving for many years and always shaved dry. Always had a decent shave, or what I thought was decent until I used this. It's awesome. You get change out of a fiver, so just buy it and see for yourself. You wont be disappointed!
I was going to buy a new shaver because I thought my trusty Braun 8995 was getting tired - used this and it's as close as any wet shave again.
Have used this oil for many years it is the only way i could get an electric shave on holiday when all hot and sweaty. Great, great product

New SJ auto X member
hey whats going on, my name is Ron im joining for info in auto X and handling as im running the girlfriends focus this upcoming season for auto X. maybe a good deal on oem 16" wheels!
not sure what kind of scene you guys have on here, I am a hardcore honda head with a fully loaded s2000 that is quite dangerous but Im not here because of the Honda im here because I need help with my H stock killing auto X monster the gfs 2007 focus hatchback lol.
we are looking to run some R compound hooiser a6s and looking maybe to get some minor info on what other mods have been helpful with other h stock members.
here is the s2000. im not sure if I have a pic of the focus or not... il post one shortly. its stock so probably no point (again were running H STOCK CLASS)
Welcome to FF, we don't discriminate against anone for owning a honda...well maybe a little....jk
I'm going to move your post to the auto-X specific area for you, as that seams to be your main concern.
But, take a look around the forum:
Auto cross area is here
you can find answers to technical problems in the tech area here
discussions about wheels tires, brakes and suspension are here
Show off your rides here in the showroom
and I'm not sure about your location, I'm guessing California or Florida maybe?
those specific regions talk about local issues and happenings here (florida) and here (southern california)
Welcome to FF as Dean said.
I'm guessing SJ stands for South Jersey? If so there are a few that do Auto-X in that area on here, mostly at Boeing or Citizens Bank Park. Also I think I've seen your car before on TriStateTuners, kinda the reason I came to the conclusion your probably from South Jerz.
If indeed you r from NJ, check out the Mid-Atlantic Forum, we have a few Honda owner in there, and we don't discriminate much, just a few VTAK jokes here and there [hihi]
It will be an interesting year for AX in the HS Class.
The SCCA just announced that the SVT focus will also run in HS. That's good and bad.
Good in the sense that the SVT is no longer "outclassed" by the Mini Cooper S and bad in the sense that the SVT might...MIGHT be too much for HS.
You are not piloting an SVT. However, depending on the option packages your GF got from the factory, it might work to your advantage.
If the wheel package is a 17 inch rim, then your choice for Hoosiers is a good one.
I run 225/40R17. That is the largest tire you can run under the stock rule set.
They work VERY well on the focus platform.
As you are aware, the rule set is pretty strict for the stock classes. So, I would poke around the forum for opinions on exhaust and the like. I personally run the stock exhaust system and find that there is very little to be gained by going aftermarket. That's just my experience.
Brakes are another story.
Consensus on this site is that the best set up for AX is:
Centric BLANK rotors
Hawk HP+ pads
Race Blue Fluid (DOT 4 non-silicone based)
The Hoosiers combined with the brake set up above and you should be competitive in GS. You should be REALLY competitive in HS.
Indexed, you might actually beat your S2000. [race]
Good luck and stay active on the forum. It is a great online community. [woot]
Hoosiers 205/45-16 or 205/50-15
Alignment w/ a bit of toe out in front, zero in back
22mm (Street Edition wagon) or 24mm (H&R) FSB--depending on taste.
2.25" catback exhaust
Hawks on OE rotors
In the announcement above about the SCCA's move of the SVTF to H stock, do you mean for 2009 or 2010 as mentioned in another thread?
hey thanks for being positive. not sure if im gonna beat the s2000... got first in street modified last year!
anyways not sure if were gonna go with hooisers or just a basic set of yokohama parada spec 2's to get the season started. we shall see. im know hooisers will be better but i need a second set of stock wheels to pull them off... in the search now! 205 45 16 it is.
KONI's!!!!! Very important.
Don't bother with the Yoko Pradas--if you're running daily-driven street tires, try some 215/45-16 Falkens for cheap, or better yet some new Kumho XS's...
id rather run my s2000 with expensive tires. I run a tire shop and can get the paradas for about 297 after tax soo its not to bad for me to settle on those. especially since Id rather run the s2000 with some really good tires. I just need to drive a slower car fast then a fast car slow if you know what I mean. got to start establishing some roots. and since im co driving itl lead to some serious in car competition and a good time. jan 18th winter series begins... plus r-compounds dont handle well in cold weather!

State legislators are thinking green
March 16, 2007
The Colorado General Assembly was colored red and blue last week during a partisan debate about the war in Iraq. But so far this year, the session has been mostly green.
Not just for St. Patrick's Day weekend — green as in environmentally friendly.
Lawmakers have tackled a host of environmental issues this session, from renewable energy to water to bark beetles.
On Friday, lawmakers passed House Bill 1281, a point of pride for Gov. Bill Ritter, who made renewable energy one of his top priorities.
The measure piggybacks on Amendment 37, a voter initiative from 2004 that required large utilities to get 10 percent of their energy from renewable sources. Ritter's bill requires them to double that by 2020.
Ritter said the bill will stimulate rural economies in the San Luis Valley and the eastern plains, including Weld County, where wind, sun and agricultural resources are abundant.
"By expanding our renewable energy production and consumption, we'll reduce our reliance on foreign oil, which is good for our environment and our national security," he said in a press release.
Ritter hopes to make Colorado a leader in the field. He even challenged the governor of Massachusetts to an arm-wrestling match over jobs in the industry.
Renewable energy isn't the only Earth-friendly topic on the minds of state lawmakers.
Earlier this month, the Senate passed a measure that allows a municipality or county to create or join a forest improvement district to protect communities from wildfires and improve forest conditions.
Anyone who has been skiing or snowboarding this season has witnessed the devastation wrought by the mountain pine beetle in Colorado's high country.
Environmental groups point out — as did a recent study by scientists at Colorado State University — that the beetles are a natural part of the forest ecosystem and can even be beneficial.
Past logging likely resulted in forests with trees that are around the same age. They're pretty old, making them more likely to fall victim to the beetles.
But the rust-colored trees are not only a blight on the mountain landscape — the dried-out trees go up like … well, like tinder when a wildfire strikes.
House Bill 1168 could help mountain communities tackle the beetle devastation. It would allow them to create forest improvement districts, subject to voter approval, that would then allow them to levy taxes. The district could offer financial incentives to promote wildfire mitigation, encourage local timber industries and to match funding for state and federal grants for bioheating conversion.
St. Patty's Day may be over for another year, but lawmakers are still thinking green.

"The detachable bed skirt in an eggshell color allows us to use it when we need to. Due to our Temperpedic mattress system which elevates the mattress at either end, the box spring has a metal bar at the foot to keep the mattress from sliding off. Until we purchased the detachable bedskirt, our purchase choices were limited."

"Well, this is not as cut and dried to attach this thing as you might expect. I think the box spring has to a deeper depth than mine is. I ended up attaching it to the velcro as stated, but, I also had to pull the skirt up and pin it to the springs platform. All in all I would never buy this again and if I did not have to pay for return shipping, I would have sent this thing back."
