This review is from: ROCCAT Kone Pure Military ROC-11-713 7 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 5000 dpi Core Performance Gaming Mouse - Desert Strike
Pros: Feels great in my hands. Claw grip. Very accurate. Nice soft texture feel on the mouse, not cheap plastic. Seems solid and well made. I personally found the software to be very good. Looks great on my Roccat Alumic (I have a mouse pad addition problem).
Cons: It may be small for some. The desert color scheme is only OK.
Other Thoughts: I also have a mouse addition, I have a lot in my collection, currently have: Logitech G5, Corsair M60, Genius Gila, Mionix 8200, Mad Catz R.A.T. 3, Tt Theron, Gigabyte M7 Thor, OCZ Equalizer (A4 Tech 3Xfire), Razor Lachesis and now this Roccat Kone Plus Military. I believe it may be the best of the bunch. Still getting the feel of it but have been very impressed so far. I don't regret the purchase.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: PowerColor TurboDuo Radeon R9 280 DirectX 11.2 AXR9 280 3GBD5-T2DHE/OC 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card
Pros: It works.
Cons: Coil whine, unacceptable for a new card. If you buy a car and while taking corners it squeaks you would not be happy and the dealer will fix it. This squeaks while playing games, fine in 2d. Newegg will not RMA this for another card, just replace for the same coil whine cards.
Other Thoughts: Coil whine, I should have bought a difference manufacture's card. Will never buy another PowerColor, manufactures by TUL and "Made in China"READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Genius GX-Gaming Gila Black 12 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired 8200 dpi MMO/RTS Professional Gaming Mouse
Pros: It feels and looks awesome. Great mouse feel in hand. The lighting is the nicest of any mouse I have seen.
Cons: After 6 months of use, just like everyone else reported, the left button started to double click. A shame as the mouse was really great until this. Will never purchase another Genius product again. At this price point this is unacceptable.
Other Thoughts: MADE IN CHINA, P*S! This is only the 2nd mouse I have ever seen failed in 25 years! The other being a Razor. Never had a Logitech fail, ever!READ FULL REVIEW

My Mom's best friend gave me my first brush set! She was an aunt to me. She passed away from cancer the same year I survived it! I still have the brushes!
That's a nice story, thank you.
Dior's Mystic Jade quint, because the dark brown/green shimmer was the first real duochrome type shade I'd seen and I totally fell in love with it. The quint itself isn't all that great but I still have it… for sentimental reasons.
Estee Lauder's Crystal Rose lipstick was the first real nude lipstick that worked for me and I still have an untouched tube somewhere even though I've been wearing it on and off for years, I adore it that much.
Crabtree & Evelyn La Source products, which was probably the first non floral/fruity fragrance that I fell in love with. It was so fresh and different from anything else I'd smelt way back when.
Chanel Rose Drop Hydrabase lipstick – my first one disappeared and I actually cried when I realized it was gone (I NEVER cry over makeup) but luckily I managed to hunt down a replacement even though it was already discontinued.
Oh my god, I'm a sentimental SAP… 😉
The original Chance by Chanel perfume because my mother wore it so often. Now that she's passed away, the scent reminds me of her. The MAC Studio Fix Plus Powder Foundation has that same sentimental value. It was also the first thing to really get me into both MAC and higher end makeup.
My grandpas Burberry cologne from 20 years ago. Smells just like him.
My mom's Oscar de la Renta perfume. She passed away 20 years ago and I can't bring myself to throw it away.
My mom wore that also. She is also gone. It almost makes me cry when I smell it.
Mine is the Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Palette. I was so new to makeup at the time; I had heard so much about the primer potion that I wanted that palette because it also came with a sample. I had met a guy a few weeks before and we were hanging out at the mall. I mentioned how I wanted the palette and he bought it for me. He's still my boyfriend 3 years later. And just 2 days ago he surprised me by buying me the Naked 3 palette. 🙂
I'm not super sentimental, but all my Inglot products have been bought on holiday (I don't live near a store) so they're all connected to different memories of visiting the city where my grandparents live.
HI Christine! Do you have any idea where I can purchase that palette? Been looking for it forever. 🙁 This is what I hate about LE products. 🙁
Definitely the products I used on my wedding. Chanel Dragon Rouge Allure Lacque and Bobbi Brown Copper Diamond Shimmerbrick in particular.
Estee Lauder as a brand is definitely sentimental for me because my mom always wore it when I was younger. And I used to love looking through all of her makeup haha.
I got a Guerlain Rouge G (my first at the time!) when I found out I was pregnant!
There's a nail polish that I've been looking for since I was probably 12 or 13. I bought it at this little trinkets store, and it wasn't a famous brand, which is why I've forgotten the name of the polish. When I finished it up, I went to get another bottle and never found one to this day. It was a beautiful, opaque deep pink with some glitter in it – a very small amount – and it was just beautiful. Thinking of it now brings a lot of memories to the time that I used it, and I wish I could find it again.

Quote:Some differences I see in your applications are that my instructors would probably attack the face or neck with the hand that "enters" first.
Quote:The second hand is usually interpreted as the "safety" in case the first hand fails. "Ayumi" would come into play in regards to takedown--I would probably be told to "keep walking" rather than rely on upper body strength for the first one you show.
Quote: My sensei is also very picky about us using "ayumi" footwork when we do the second takedown you show. But the reality in sparring is probably quite close to what you've posted. I'm also just talking "different" not "better"!

Lets just make this perfectly clear: I am not amongst the faint of heart. I do not get sick upon the sight of animals that are torn open, I do not feel like fainting at the sight of blood, I giggled during a tour at a slaughterhouse, but I went to take a hot shower after reading Franken Fran.
I already have to tell you, the reader, that this manga is extremely taste based. Many people have backed off from this manga due to gore alone and have barely made it past 3 chapters. If you can't handle huge loads of blood and gore then reading through this manga will be like dragging your brain through a meat grinder. But hey, you are ready to do that in order to get a taste of this bloody horror comedy, right?
If you thought that Elfen Lied, Higurashi or Hellsing was too gory for you then don't even bother reading Franken Fran. Katsuhia Kigitsu is obviously someone who doesn't put too big leashes on his creativity during work, as we clearly can see in Franken Fran.
The story generally lacks because of the lack of plot development. You keep asking yourself questions like "when is the professor going to return and give us some plot?" and I was often puzzled over why so many characters were turned into freaks of nature to an unnecessary length. Like, why did Adorea get an Organ extracting tentacle-face when the professor revived her from death? Was the ability to consume and store bodies necessary for her revival? Why does Fran and Veronica have more visible stitches than most of the other freaks and what are those BUBBLES which are almost constantly hanging over Fran's head!? The electrodes you ask? Who cares?
Each chapter usually has its own unique story that usually results in people being turned into freaks of nature. You have three types of endings: Good, bad and weird. There are probably like 3-5 good endings, 5-10 "bad" and the rest are weird endings. Many of the chapters raises questions to subjects like cloning, value of life, plastic surgery, scientific progress, gene mixing, etc.
The art looks good. Characters tend to be well-detailed, especially on the gory parts. But it strikes me that there is no, nix, nada, nej, nein, njet, non difference between characters when it comes to the eyes. You have those shiny, big eyes in every character and not one is unique. The annoying lack of facial expression is also there. You have the passive look and then you have the terrified look. That is pretty much it and it really drags part of the soul out of every character. Sometimes the eyes and certain features of characters, usually in the background, simply disappears and is replaced by white.
When it comes to the characters then there is some lack indeed. We barely get to know anything about any character's background and we are still unknowing of who Fran used to be before the professor operated on(apparently revived) her. There is one extra-chapter that deals with Adorea's past and it was highly enjoyable and it is somewhat frustrating that we don't get to know more about the past of other characters.
In the end it is a very satisfying series despite a few chapters where a utter lack of logic drags the reader experience down. You should not read it if you are faint of heart or can't stand excessive amounts of gore.
And yes, the comparison have already been made:
Great review, it rings true and will get people to read it, those who dare ^_^
Also and thanks for mentioning which anime Prof Stein was from.
This manga is that bad I've read much worse. the gore is easy to get by, i mean, really you act like its one of the most disguisting mangas that you've read. I can name atleast 2 mangas that are more gory than this (plus some other things that I bet you don't want to see).
I liked your Review, Franken Fran is pretty much all you said!
For Gore Fans with a little bit of interest in Biology/Medicine!
The guy in the last picture is Professor Stein from Soul eater.
Just mentioning for any people who haven't seen/read Soul eater.

Aviation Safety:
Preliminary Information on Aircraft Icing and Winter Operations
GAO-10-441T: Published: Feb 24, 2010. Publicly Released: Feb 24, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4803
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Ice formation on aircraft can disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wings and prevent the aircraft from taking off or decrease the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft. Taxi and landing operations can also be risky in winter weather. Despite a variety of technologies designed to prevent ice from forming on planes, as well as persistent efforts by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other stakeholders to mitigate icing risks, icing remains a serious concern. As part of an ongoing review, this statement provides preliminary information on (1) the extent to which large commercial airplanes have experienced accidents and incidents related to icing and contaminated runways, (2) the efforts of FAA and aviation stakeholders to improve safety in icing and winter weather operating conditions, and (3) the challenges that continue to affect aviation safety in icing and winter weather operating conditions. GAO analyzed data obtained from FAA, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and others. GAO conducted data reliability testing and determined that the data used in this report were sufficiently reliable for our purposes. Further, GAO obtained information from senior FAA and NTSB officials, representatives of the Flight Safety Foundation, and representatives of some key aviation industry stakeholder organizations. GAO provided a draft of this statement to FAA, NTSB, and NASA and incorporated their comments where appropriate.
According to NTSB's aviation accident database, from 1998 to 2009 one large commercial airplane was involved in a nonfatal accident after encountering icing conditions during flight and five large commercial airplanes were involved in nonfatal accidents due to snow or ice on runways. However, FAA and others recognize that incidents are potential precursors to accidents and the many reported icing incidents suggest that these airplanes face ongoing risks from icing. For example, FAA and NASA databases contain information on over 600 icing-related incidents involving large commercial airplanes. FAA and other aviation stakeholders have undertaken many efforts to improve safety in icing conditions. For example, in 1997, FAA issued a multiyear plan for improving the safety of aircraft operating in icing conditions and has since made progress on the objectives specified in its plan by issuing regulations, airworthiness directives, and voluntary guidance, among other initiatives. Other government entities that have taken steps to increase aviation safety in icing conditions include NTSB, which has issued numerous recommendations as a result of its aviation accident investigations, and NASA, which has contributed to icing-related research. The private sector has deployed various technologies on aircraft, such as wing deicers, and operated ground deicing and runway clearing programs at airports. GAO identified challenges related to winter weather aviation operations that, if addressed by ongoing or planned efforts, could improve safety. These challenges include (1) improving the timeliness of FAA's winter weather rulemaking efforts; (2) ensuring the availability of adequate resources for icing-related research and development; (3) ensuring that pilot training is thorough and realistic; (4) ensuring the collection and distribution of accurate weather information; and (5) developing a more integrated approach to effectively manage winter operations.

The RogerEbert.com staff's Oscar pick for Best Picture.
The modern heist movie was invented in Paris in 1954 by Jules Dassin, with "Rififi," and Jean-Pierre Melville, with "Bob le Flambeur." Dassin built his film around a 28-minute safe-cracking sequence that is the father of all later movies in which thieves carry out complicated robberies. Working across Paris at the same time, Melville's film, which translates as "Bob the High Roller," perfected the plot in which a veteran criminal gathers a group of specialists to make a big score. The Melville picture was remade twice as "Ocean's Eleven," and echoes of the Dassin can be found from Kubrick's "The Killing" to Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs." They both owe something to John Huston's "The Asphalt Jungle" (1950), which has the general idea but not the attention to detail.
"Rififi" was called by Francois Truffaut the best film noir he'd ever seen (it was based, he added, on the worst noir novel he'd ever read). Dassin's inspiration was to expand the safe-cracking job, which is negligible in the book, into a breathless sequence that occupies a fourth of the running time and is played entirely without words or music. So meticulous is the construction and so specific the detail of this scene that it's said the Paris police briefly banned the movie because they feared it was an instructional guide.
There is something else unique about the heist scene: It is the centerpiece of the film, not the climax. In a modern heist film, like "The Score" (2001), the execution of the robbery fills most of the third act. "Rififi" is more interested in the human element, and plays as a parabola, with the heist at the top before the characters descend to collect their wages of sin. After the heist there is still a kidnapping to go.
The film was shot on a modest $200,000 budget on Paris locations that Dassin scouted while wandering unemployed around the town; he was on the Hollywood blacklist and hadn't worked in four years. Streets are usually wet in movies because they photograph better that way, but Paris is especially damp in "Rififi," shot in wintertime and showing a criminal milieu where the only warmth comes in a flat where one of the crooks lives with his wife and little boy.
The film centers on Tony (Jean Servais, a Belgian actor who had gone through hard times because of alcoholism). Always referred to as "the Stephanois," he's a sad-eyed, tubercular ex-con who dotes on the little boy, his godson. Tony reveals a nasty streak of cruelty against a former mistress, and is quite capable of cold-blooded murder, but by the end he seems purified by loss. His character believes in honor among thieves, and his lonely vengeance against the kidnappers provides the film with its soul.
The boy's father is Jo the Swede (Carl Moehner). Jo and his friend Mario (Robert Manuel) have their eyes on diamonds in a store window, and want to smash and grab just before the light turns green for their getaway car. Tony nixes the plan and advises them to go for the big score--the store's safe. They enlist a safecracker named Cesar, who is played by Dassin himself (as "Perlo Vita").
Casing the store is done with a bold brilliance. Tony ostentatiously leaves his bulging wallet neglected on a counter, to show his indifference to money. Determining the type of the safe and the kind of alarm, they stage a rehearsal, test the alarm's sensitivity (it responds to vibrations) and discover they can immobilize it with foam from a fire extinguisher.
"No rods," Tony advises. "Get caught with a rod, it's the slammer for life." But the thieves are as ruthless as necessary, tying up the couple who live over the diamond store before gingerly hammering their way through the ceiling with a cushioned hammer. The composer, Georges Auric, originally wrote music for this sequence, but agreed with Dassin it was unnecessary, and for 28 minutes we hear nothing but taps, breathing, some plaster falling into an umbrella used to catch it, some muffled coughs, and then, after the alarm is disabled, the screech of the drills used to cut into safe. There is, of course, no reason why the men cannot talk softly, and so the silence is Dassin's inspired directorial choice, underlining the suspense. When I saw the film in a 2002 revival in London, the 28-minute sequence played as it always does, to a theater that was conspicuously hushed in sympathy.
The movie opens with a backroom poker game, and after the heist Dassin mirrors that scene with another shot of men around a table. Nice, how he uses closeups of their eyes before showing the diamonds. They have committed a perfect crime, but Cesar gives a ring to a girlfriend, and when it's spotted by Pierre (Marcel Lupovici), the boss of a Montmartre nightclub, he guesses the identity of the thieves and sends his men after them for the jewels.
The last third of the film centers around the kidnapping of Jo's son, who will allegedly be returned if the jewels are handed over. Tony knows better: The boy is a witness. He searches for the boy, questioning bartenders, hookers, tough guys and old pals to get a lead. In these scenes Montmartre seems to cower beneath the damp skies of dawn.
The film's violence has a crude awkwardness that makes it seem more real. Finding a cop beside the stolen getaway car, Tony leaps from a shadow and cudgels him, not with the smooth grace and sensational sound effects of a modern crime picture, but with the clumsiness of a man not accustomed to hitting policemen. Much of the violence takes place just off screen; that may be because of the production codes of the day, but it's effective because the focus falls on the face of the person committing the violence, and not on the violence itself.
There is one scene nobody ever forgets. Cesar the safecracker, whose stupidity lead to the betrayal of the perfect crime, is found by Tony tied to a pillar in the deserted nightclub. He tries to apologize for his mistake. He's sincere, and Tony knows he's sincere. "I liked you, Macaroni," Tony tells Cesar. "But you know the rules." Cesar (played by Dassin) does, and nods sadly.
Dassin was a particular master of shooting on city locations. "The Naked City" (1948) is famous for its semi-documentary use of New York. His great London noir "Night and the City" (1950), with Richard Widmark as a desperate fugitive hunted by mobsters, makes such good use of darkness and the rubble of bomb sites that it deserves comparison with "The Third Man." In "Rififi," Dassin finds everyday locales: Nightclubs, bistros, a construction site, investing them with a grey reality. Just before the heist begins, there is a scene all the more lovely because it is unnecessary, in which nightclub musicians warm up and gradually slide into collaboration. There's a real sense of Montmartre in the 1950s.
Dassin, born in 1911, still giving interviews in 2002, was named as a onetime communist during the McCarthy witchhunt. He wasn't crazy about the "Rififi" project but needed work. Its worldwide success was a blow against the blacklist, which fell after the listed writer Dalton Trumbo was openly hired by Kubrick for "Spartacus" and Otto Preminger for "Exodus," both in 1960. By then Dassin had settled in Europe; he was married to the fiery Greek actress Melina Mercouri from 1966 until her death in 1994. His last great success, "Topkapi" (1964) was a return to the heist genre, and is credited by "Mission Impossible." Although Dassin returned to the U.S. occasionally, as for the successful black militant drama "Up Tight" (1968), he was basically lost to American moviemaking, and lives in Athens on a street named for Mercouri. The restoration of "Rififi," long available only on a shabby videotape, rescues a milestone in movie history.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
As a legal permanent resident (LPR) I filed a petition for my wife under F2A category during the month of August - September 2013. We just received a Request for Evidence (RFE) asking for us to "Submit evidence to established that the petitioner on the Form I-130 is a United States citizen". And evidence can include birth certificate etc.
I don't know why USCIS is asking for that since in the application, petition specifically indicated that the he is a Green Card Holder adding copies of green card (front and back) to the application packet. We wanted to reply with copies of petitioners birth certificate and photocopied green card, but a professional advice will go a long way to make sure we aren't confused about what they asking for.Please advice me
Make sure you originally filled out the I-130 correctly, then resend again the proof of your LPR status, with a cover letter explaining the confusion.
Kindly be advised that the answer above is only general in nature cannot be construed as legal advice, given that not enough facts are known.

You must respond to the RFE even if the USCIS issued it in error, since a failure to respond will result in automatic denial of the I-130.
You surely do, but you cannot get one on AVVO. It would not be possible.

The success of the DEARC depends upon the ability of the ADMINISTRATIVE CORE to facilitate interactions and attain the highest quality research among the projects. These goals will be achieved through multiple mechanisms. (1) The quality, progress, and fiscal integrity of research components (i.e., MAIN and PILOT PROJECTS) will be assured through both internal and external guidance systems, (a) Two internal systems will be an Executive Committee (formed by the Center Director and Scientific Director) and a Coordinating Committee (comprised of the Pis of the Main Projects and the Cores). Pis will report to these committees through regular written reports and orally at monthly meetings and at the annual DEARC Retreat, (b) Two extra-DEARC bodies will oversee the activities of the DEARC: an Internal Advisory Board comprised of administrators at Binghamton Univ., SUNY- Cortland, Syracuse Univ., and Upstate Med. Univ. and an External Scientific Advisory Board comprised of nationally prominent, senior alcohol and developmental biology researchers. (2) A critical facet of the DEARC will be the three Scientific Cores (ANIMAL, CELL/MOLECULAR, and NEUROANATOMY CORES). The two internal systems described above will oversee the CORES, assuring the quality of the data generated by the CORES and the productivity of the CORES. (3) DEARC researchers are located at three SUNY campuses- in Binghamton, Cortland, and Syracuse. The ADMINISTRATIVE CORE will assure that handling of samples and data is efficient and that communication between these campuses is seamless. These will be achieved using wellestablished inter-campus courier services, electronic communications, and sophisticated teleconferencing systems. (4) The PILOT PROJECT PROGRAM is designed to generate new ideas and new programs. The ADMINISTRATIVE CORE will guide this program. This involves soliciting and reviewing applications and monitoring the progress of the funded projects. (5) The ADMINISTRATIVE CORE will support the continuing education of DEARC personnel. This will occur through journal clubs, team-taught courses, and seminar series. These offerings will be made available to more people through teleconferencing and videotaping (archiving). Other communications by DEARC personnel (e.g., poster, manuscript, and grant preparation) will be supported by the Administrative Core. Together, the ADMINISTRATIVE CORE will serve as a system for maintaining quality and progress of the DEARC and supporting the communication within and beyond the DEARC.

Market Competition And Metropolitan-Area Grocery Prices
This paper examines the relationship of 1987 retail grocery prices to supermarket sales concentration across 95 U.S. metropolitan areas. The regression model incorporates a large number of population, retail-cost, and retail competition factors and separate prices by type of grocery item. We find that the concentration-price relationship is sensitive to item type: positive for packaged, branded, dry groceries and unrelated for produce, meat, and dairy product prices. As for market rivalry, we find that small grocery stores provide no grocery price competition for supermarkets. However, branded grocery prices are driven down by fast-food places and by rapid price churning, whereas for unbranded foods the presence of warehouse stores places downward pressure on supermarket prices while fast-food presence does not. For the branded-groceries component, we also find prices higher in large, fast-growing, low- income, Eastern cities. We also find that cities where rents, wages, and electricity costs are high tend to have high dry grocery prices. However, for the unbranded-products component retail costs are unrelated to prices, and cities in the South have the highest prices.

Growing up I saw first hand how complicated the process can be as my father sponsored his siblings. In my own life, I lived in Strasbourg, France for a year and was able to visit many of the European countries during my Junior Year Abroad.

Everything in this room was infected with killer germs, I decided. Every surface was hostile. I stood paralysed by fastidious inaction for a full minute.
We had arrived there after three hours bumpy travel along pot-holed roads. "These are the good ones," laughed Mulima Kufekisa, who heads a team to monitor the impact on ordinary people of the drain of Zambia's repaying its share of the Third World debt which world leaders are to discuss at the G8 summit this weekend.
"The journey to Casama or Chipata is not that much further but takes nine hours because of the roads. The vehicle has to go into the garage after every trip because so many bits have been shaken off."
"Please keep your car in a roadworthy condition at all times," said the chirpy little propaganda sticker on the back of the road tax disc. It might be easier, I complained, if the government kept the roads in a carworthy condition.
Mulima laughed again. There was no money for that kind of thing, apart from prestige roads in the capital, thanks to the cuts in public spending imposed to pay the interest on the debt.
It was not just my back which suffered. Poor farmers find it difficult to get their produce to market and end up taking whatever is on offer from any middle-man prepared to risk his lorry axle to get to them.
The welcome was warm here in the parish of St Kizitu. Two young church activists with the odd first names typical of the area had met us.
Robson Simweemba and Stembridge Siantobolo greeted us, along with an old man who asked if we had brought any newspapers from which he could make cigarettes.
Sister Gabriella, an Italian nun, once of Vicenza but now a Zambian of 20 years standing, invited us into a large barn, one of the few places with electric light, where a feast of goat's meat with nshima maize porridge awaited.
"This is where we used to store the maize, so it's full of mosquitoes," said the parish priest, Fr Angelo, cheerfully. He then went on to talk about how the malaria locally was resistant to many drugs. "I've had it a few times. We find that a drip of quinine is the only solution."
So what was happening in England one of the local farmers, a dedicated World Service listener, asked me. Was Tony Blair better than John Major? And how had Linda McCartney died?
Everyone had been very sad, I said; she was only young. "How old?" asked Mulima. Just 56, I said. That's old here, came the reply. "Life ends at 40 for one in three Africans. Health care has been cut to pay the debt."
"It's easy for Europeans to forget," said Fr Angelo. "Whenever I go back to Milan on holiday I tell the children never to cease wondering at the miracle of clean water which flows into their homes at the run of a tap. And I tell them: don't waste it."
It was the memory of that - and the glass of clean pure water by the bedside - which brought me back to my senses in my room after dinner. There was too much to be thankful for. Outside a lion roared a mile off. And too much to do.

Gently used cars can be great deals.
They can be new enough to have all the toys and safety features. But they're also old enough that someone else has taken the hit for a big chunk of the car's depreciation.
And, after a few years, you probably know most of the problems associated with that make and model. So, you're going into the decision well-informed, with your eyes wide open.
But these days, with frequent recalls, buyers also may feel like their quest is a bit of a minefield.
In the market for a good used car? Here are 8 tips for getting a good one.
Tetra Images/Getty Images
Shopping for a used car is "just like buying a new car. (It) starts with the research," says Jeff Bartlett, deputy editor of autos at Consumer Reports.
From that, create a target list of cars (make, model and year), that suit your needs, he says.
That means looking at gas mileage (check the U.S. Department of Energy's FuelEconomy.gov) and safety and handling tests (2 good checks: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at SaferCar.gov and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety at IIHS.org).
The big difference with newer cars: Instead of looking at 1 or 2 model years, you have a larger pool to choose from, Bartlett says.
If you're buying a used car, check out the car loan rates at Bankrate.com before shopping.
"What you'll often find is a car may have had problems 1 year that have been addressed" in subsequent years, he says.
Also, you should make certain you're comparing the same features on the car models that you're interested in, Bartlett says. If you like the safety ratings on a particular model, make sure the car you're considering has all of the same safety equipment.
With some older models, safety features that are now standard like side air bags may have been optional when the car was made, Bartlett says. That can make a big difference in safety and crash performance.

Once you've targeted specific makes and models, check general prices against your budget and opt for the newest versions of cars that you can afford, says Jack Nerad, executive market analyst at KBB.com and author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying or Leasing a Car."
With used cars, "you're better off with a newer model rather than an older model," he says. "The very simple reason is that cars get better every year."
Typically, the newer models "will have the most recent equipment all the way around," Nerad says.

You will want to review any recalls of models that you're targeting before you start.
Cars can be on a recall list for major or minor defects, says Jack Gillis, author of "The Car Book" and spokesman for the Consumer Federation of America.
Once you locate individual cars that you're considering, you can go to SaferCar.gov, put in the VIN (vehicle identification number) and see what recalls have been issued on that specific model, Gillis says.
There are 2 things worth knowing. First, if a manufacturer has issued a recall, their dealerships will fix the problem for free – whether you bought it new or used, says Bartlett.
Second, with most recalls there are sufficient parts and labor to fix recall problems, Gillis says. But with some larger recalls, there may be a waiting list.
That's also true of some of the newer recalls that involve problems like ignition switches or air bags, he says. And the prospect of buying a recalled car and not being able to get it fixed before you drive it is a good reason to opt for a different model instead.

A used car is not the type of thing you want to buy from a total unknown – no matter how good that deal.
Gillis recommends 2 sources: people you know or dealerships.
"The key to finding a good used car is to know as much about its history as possible," he says. Since that can be tough, he recommends buying from someone you know, if you're not going through a dealer.
No matter the car's price, you'll want the best car loan for the money, and you'll find that at Bankrate.com.
If your dad or father-in-law is getting ready to trade a car, and you know and like its history, that might be the used car for you.
So let close friends and family know that you're looking for a good used car. "It's amazing how many people will get back to you and say, 'Yeah, we're going to sell our car.' And, they're in the best possible position to tell you their experience with the vehicle," Gillis says.
Unlike a total stranger, you're going to be bumping into them regularly, so there's a good chance that they'll be honest with you, he says. Plus, if you know them, you already should have a general idea of their history with the car.

The other outlet for a good car: a car dealership.
"Dealers tend to keep the good cars they get from trades and get rid of the ones they think are problematic," the Consumer Federation's Gillis says. So, the cars on dealers' lots can be solid options.
"One tip is that it's always good to buy a used car of the same brand that the dealer sells, because they have access to any needed repairs less expensively than if the car was from another brand," Gillis says.
On the other hand, if you buy one brand from another brand's dealership, "often they will give you a very good price for it because it's not a vehicle they're familiar with," he says.

Dealers also can offer you something your best friend can't -- a warranty.
Depending on the used car and its age, you'll either get the remainder of the manufacturer's warranty or a 30-, 60- or 90-day warranty from the dealership, Gillis says.
And often the powertrain – everything from the transmission to the engine to the components that make the wheels turn – can be warrantied for "as long as 2 years," he says.
Whether you're buying a truck or a car, check out the auto loan rates at Bankrate.com before shopping.
Want to buy yourself a little bit of insurance? Skip those "as-is" deals, Gillis says.
Many automakers also have certified pre-owned car programs. That means "someone has gone through the vehicle, and there's a good chance that a vehicle that makes it through this process will be free of problems," he says.
While, by itself ,"it's not a guarantee; it's not a perfect system." But, it is 1 more step toward getting a good deal on a good car, Gillis says.
KBB.com's Nerad suggests that you also take a lengthy test drive or two.
Unlike a new car, each used car was "owned by somebody different than the one next to it," he says. "It has had different maintenance done to it. It's essentially become a one-off."
"That test drive's important," Nerad says.

Car history reports can be helpful for used car buyers, Consumer Reports' Bartlett says.
If you're buying from an individual, you or the seller can buy an auto history report for less than $50. And more and more dealers are offering them for free, says Gillis.
Bartlett says you also can get a free theft check through the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
But auto history reports are not perfect and may not include everything about a car's past, Gillis says.
If that vehicle has never been reported as a flood car, or a car that's been totaled or a stolen car, that won't be listed on the car's history, he says. So, while car history reports can be very helpful, you want to use them in conjunction with an independent inspection, Gillis says.
© Minerva Studio/Shutterstock.com
Whether you're buying the car from a friend, family member or dealer, you still want to get an independent inspection.
You want someone totally neutral. So don't use the dealership's mechanic or 1 connected to or recommended by the seller, Gillis says.
Instead, take the car to someone you know and trust. The mechanic will put it up on the rack and check it out from top to bottom, he says. That will take about an hour and cost around $100, Bartlett says.
It's a lot like getting a home inspection, he says. You'll find out what's working and what potential problems you could encounter, he says.
If the mechanic finds mud or rust, you may learn that it's a flood car. Or, you might find evidence in the bodywork that signals it's been in a wreck.
Bottom line: you'll likely have 1 of 3 outcomes. Either it's the cream puff that the seller promised or it has a few flaws you can tolerate or have repaired in exchange for a price cut. Or, it's a problem you can't live with. In that case, the $100 you paid for an inspection was well spent.

"Quito - Capital of Ecuador" Top 5 Page for this destination Quito by MalenaN
Quito Travel Guide: 1,140 reviews and 3,194 photos
I have visited Quito several times. The first time was in 2011 when I spent around ten days in Quito in June and August, and I liked it very much, especially the old town Centro Histórico. Centro Histórico is a lovely area with colonial architecture cobbled plazas, churches and many small museums. Some years ago much was renovated in the area and security has increased. It is a lovely part of Quito and this is where I chose to stay. Centro Histórico is a Unesco World Heritage Site. In 2012 I came back to Quito and visited for 14 days in June, July and August. Also in 2013 I stayed in Quito almost two weeks (days in June, July and August).
North of Centro Histórico is the more modern town. One part is La Mariscal where there are many hotels, restaurants, bars and tour operators. This is where many tourists choose to stay, and therefore the area is also called Gringolandia. I'm glad I didn't stay here. In North Quito you will also find business and residential areas, shopping malls, parks and some nice museums.
Quito is situated at an altitude of 2850 metres, which makes it the second highest capital in the world (only La Paz is situated higher). If you are not acclimatised to high altitude you should take it easy the first days. Quito is beautifully situated in a valley with mountains on its west and east side. This means the city stretches out over 50 km in a north-south direction, but only 8km across. With 1.6 million inhabitants Quito is the second largest city in Ecuador.
Almost at the equator, but at an altitude of 2850m, makes the climate in Quito spring like all year round. It is chilly in the mornings and in the evenings, and daytime temperatures varies between 10-21°C. How warm it gets during the day depends on the clouds and if it rains or not. The dry season is in June - September, with July and August being the warmest months with least rain. The rainy season last from October - May, with most rain in February - April.
A legend says that Quito was founded in honour of the god Quitu, by his son Quitumbe. Long ago the Quitu people lived in the valley where Quito is now situated. They integrated with the Caras from the north coastal zone and formed Shyris nation around A.D. 1300. In 1487 the Inca took over and later the Spanish. The Spanish founded the city of San Francisco de Quito on 6 December 1534.

Thanks Malena for your review of my Manta pages. Ecuador is so beautiful !
I suspect you must know every single restaurant in Quite - escellent tips and updates.
Excellent updates since my last visit - so many more interesting sights and great meals! You make me want to return to Quito ;-)
Me again, coming back to look at your latest tips and updates. There aren't many cities where you can see so many snow capped volcanoes on a clear day.
Malena, fantastic and comprehensive page about Quito here. It looks like you almost always had lovely blue sky for your photos. I like your hepful transportation tips, especially the ones about the taxi fares. Also the Ciclopaseo is a great idea.
Malena, you have added dozens of fine new tips since I last looked at this page. I had no idea there were so many museums in Quito. Also I like the colorful celebrations and musicians. And of course the Ciclopaseo, which is a great idea.
Now that I've booked the tickets it's time to get excited! Haha. So much info here malena, and have already seen some tips that have answered questions in my mind already. Will continue to come here to visit and get info. Thanks! X
I'm glad that you will get a week in Ecuador later this year, and to see Quito, Cotopaxi and Quilotoa during that week is a good choice. This page is starting to be too big, but anyway it is the page I'm still working on. There are many tips, especially things to do-tips, to add from my latest trip.
your photos & comments abt Quito......made me to must visit it.
right indeed...its beautiful......do you speak Spanish..?
Well, I speak a little. Sometimes I I bought a newspaper to practice. Some of the articles were easy to understand, while others were impossible to understand.
You certainly have seen a lot of Quito. Interesting to read about your journey to the city and the surrounding area. We certainly hope to visit Quito one day too. ~ho & pang
Such fantastic country and all the structure here have such beautiful character. Love the view from the top of the Teleferigo! Excellent page!

Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. I sat at the bar and got the Avocado Chicken Melt and a cold draft beer. Both were excellent! I would def. stop by again if I'm back in Blowing Rock.
Good food and atmosphere Local craft beer and variety of entrees...the service was friendly and fast
Once again I stopped here and was not disappointed. I tried the triple trout with creamy potatoes. One baked, one w/cheese, and one stuffed. Although the fillets were half size; they were delicious. It was a very enjoyable meal and service.
This is a great little place to eat. Buttermilk chicken and Pork chip to die for. So good we came back
Excellent food - always a variety of choices - the locals choice!!
My favorite to go for lunch or dinner! Friendly service, good food, and great atmosphere!
Excellent bar tenders with good drinks and a good beer selection. Bar area is crowded but cool. Dining area has no atmosphere but the food is good and reasonably priced with generous portions.
Nice little place with a pretty decent menu.
I ordered the Shroom sandwich with coleslaw to go. The Hostess and Bartender were very nice and polite.
The sandwich was actually pretty good and a big serving, but I was not given any plastic ware or napkins. I ended up having to use a hotel towel, picking at my sandwich because...
Our last day meal in Blowing Rock was truly a great choice. It was really good. I highly recommend their Philly cheese steak sandwich. Served with homemade potato chips. Dinner choices looked so good too.
Great food, service, and atmosphere
Philly cheesesteak, club , and packer burger were excellent. Rustic decor and clean.
Everyone at our table of 4 had a great meal. The dishes were unique, tasted great and were healthy. Prices were moderate and reasonable.
Thank you for the great review. We are so happy you enjoyed. Please come again soon.

Carla was thorough in explaining things , understanding to our questions & took us through a magical mystery tour of the history stories & lifestyle of the Portuguese people in Lisbon
Our guide was very easy to follow and quite knowledgeable. Enjoyed all of the tour immensely.
This was a great tour. We were the only ones on the tour, so we had a personal guide. She was personable and very knowledgeable, and her English was excellent. We appreciated the detail and the history she provided. The 3 hour tour covered a lot of downtown Lisbon; the hills were very manageable and the pace was not strenuous. Our guide also recommended some restaurants for dinner that night; we went to one and it was excellent. This was one of the high points of our trip to Portugal.
Great way to see and learn about Lisbon to start off a visit. Find your bearings and have a feel of the city by walking through neighbourhood and mingling with locals under the able guidance of a good guide.
With a general introduction to the History of Portugal and of Lisbon, a number of anecdotes. Very informative for first timers.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)

- - Thawed Bloodworms - A Question (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/thawed-bloodworms-question-48597/)
Thawed Bloodworms - A Question
How long will thawed bloodworms remain good if refridgerated? I have a pack of frozen bloodworms (the kind with the little cubes) and a whole cube is way more than I need. So I'm wondering if I can keep a thawed cube's worth in the fridge. How long will it last before needing to be thrown out?
why not cut the frozen block in half? then refreeze half it, I do have to admit 1 half of it will probably go frying across the room but mission accomplished, no clue on refrigeration though.
The last time I tried to cut one in half, I almost cut myself, so I've been pretty hesitant to do that again. :-D Hmm, maybe I could just get a pack of bloodworms that comes in a single block and just crush it into small pieces while its still in the bag with a hammer. Then I could just take a pinch and thaw that out. Think that would work?
That should work, maybe try to cut the frozen block with a hot knife? Get really hot tap water flowing, let it warm the knife then try to cut it, also use a big knife so its more stable, small ones its hard to put pressure on the blade directly down like you need.

Understanding the wider public health workforce in England
Commissioned by Public Health England (PHE), Health Health Education (HEE) and the Department of Health (DH), this review of the wider public health workforce in England identifies the size and scope of this workforce, provides examples of its work and considers possible professional development needs for strengthening this important service.
The report has found that at least 15 million people contribute to the public health agenda in England - ranging from police and fire personnel, to opticians and housing officers.
Other key messages from the report include:
- The wider workforce is interwoven into the fabric of local communities and can be found across the public, private and third sectors.
- The wider workforce is an instrumental part of the new public health landscape.
- Policy makers are challenged to engage with this diversity, provide support and guidance where it will be most effective, and maximise the benefits available.
We have published an infographic to accompany the report that highlights how the wider public health workforce is distributed, which can be found here: www.cfwi.org.uk/widerphinfographic.
