A part of every tennis person equipment should be a bottle of this product. If you have not tried it , you should!
Holding a tennis racquet with sweaty hands is nearly impossible. This product works in hot humid climates to keep your hands from sweating all day. You will hold the club better and with more sensitivity.
look at http:www.tennis-needs.com
Product is: NO SWEAT get a grip(r) ...TENNIS PLAYERS LOVE IT
No More Sweaty hands....all Day!
Cross training (fitness training) is really important for tennis players to prevent future overuse injuries. Tennis creates imbalances in the body that over time create problems. You have to do strength training to re-balance your muscle groups - to make them evenly strong - left vs right side, and often front vs back. Then you have to stretch and do the myfoascial release, to get rid of the trigger points in the overused muscles. This should be bread-and-butter: strength, stretch, myofascial... then of course, you can do more to become even better: agility drills, explosive power, endurance... etc. You definitely have to have a strong core and lower body.
I play tennis 6 days a week, run with my dog every morning, do the strength training about 2 hours per week, and I stretch after each tennis practice 15-20 minutes. I am 46 years old, and through all this pretty fit. You can see the exercise, and routines on my website... there's a lot of stuff on injury prevention and fitness for tennis training. No gym is necessary, you can do everything on the court after tennis. Regarding nutrition, also very important to eat healthy so you have a lot of energy... here is a basic nutrition post, and here what to avoid to eat.
Dudleyk, maybe you can start too... the imbalances are developing slowly, and once you get problems, then it is much harder to correct. I've been doing tennis fitness training to juniors during their summer camp, age 13-21, and you wouldn't believe how "messed up" they are already at that young age.
if you can hold the tennis racquet without your hands slipping, that could be important to you making a good shot.

I would do cycling interval training in the gym using a Keiser indoor spin cycle and do 8-10 sets of 40-60 secs out of the saddle sprints.
I also would ride with a cycling group and go 40-60 mile rides with my road bike.
I do light weights with dumbbells, and do tricep extensions, squats, and punch the heavy bag for 20-30 minutes.
this is my Monday to Friday routine.
off Saturday & Sundays
do it for 2 months. you will kick arse.
100 Push ups
100 sit-ups
15 minutes run with 1 minute sprints every 5 minutes
or 15 minutes of jump rope like this video..
you and the Australian people should feel very proud!

Harlem Shake Takes to New Heights, Prompts FAA Investigation
During a recent flight from Colorado Springs to San Diego, a group of college students got up from their seats and began dancing to the internet craze, Harlem Shake resulting in an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Matt Zelin, a sophomore, told the Colorado College newspaper, The Catalyst, he asked a flight attendant for permission beforehand.
FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer said Thursday they're looking at what phase the flight was in during the dance in the aisles.
Frontier Airlines says the seatbelt sign was off and safety measures were followed.
The Harlem Shake which has become a popular YouTube video, shows one person starting to dance, and then the video cuts to a large group of people dancing, many in costume.

A writer and online news magazine editor. VERY PICKY about graphics, and have some skills myself (but not mad skilz)

This is for an Ebook, and if good enough, a book cover. This book is about two damaged people that fall in love, A Native American 'Wind' horse - (ghost horse) and a trail of horse bones. I know what I want to see - something along the lines of Robert Vavra's cover for "The Horse Whisperer", but with a ghostly horse in the background, a man and a woman (preferably a Native American man) and a horse skull lying somewhere beneath a couple in silhouette. I want the design to set a pensive but hopeful mood. I did something on my own, but a pro could do much better I think. I can send an eversion of the book on request.

What Is the Clinical Preventive Services Quality Performance Compared to All States?
How Has That Performance Changed?
The Clinical Preventive Services summary measure represents compliance with selected recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice. These two expert bodies use the best research evidence available to make recommendations on preventive services for people without symptoms of disease. Such services include immunizations, tests to screen for the presence of diseases, and behavioral counseling (such as programs that encourage smokers to quit). Most preventive services are provided in primary care ambulatory clinical settings.
What contextual factors might influence this State's performance? (select this link or Contextual Factors)
The meter represents Florida's balance of below average, average, and above average measures compared to all States. The performance meter has five categories: very weak, weak, average, strong, and very strong. An arrow pointing to "very weak" means all or nearly all included measures for a State are below average within a given data year. An arrow pointing to "very strong" indicates that all or nearly all available measures for a State are above average within a given data year. A solid arrow describes results for the most recent data year; a dashed arrow describes the baseline year. A missing arrow means there were insufficient data to create the summary measure for this State. Compared to all States, for the most recent data year, the performance for Florida for clinical preventive services is in the weak range. For the baseline year, performance is in the average range.

I am not generally a huge fan of moderation. However, I've seen some cases where various other list participants generally contribute nothing substantive to discussions, and only serve to annoy and inflame discussions with regular participants. If these people cannot respect the list, the participants, they can either choose leaving or being moderated. This said, in the past, on another list, I've been personally threatened with moderation, and had it enforced. The list owners (wrongly IMO) felt I had done them a grievous insult, and enforced moderation on me. To call their reaction silly would be kind in my book (and no, I won't say who they were/are, so don't ask ... though others in that same situation with that list and those owners contacted me later to commiserate). It was their list, and they have the right to take any action they wished, which they did, no matter how right or wrong headed it was/is. A well moderated list (e.g. very light touch) will have a rich variety of users and be mostly spam and idiot free. A poorly moderated list will turn into a sycophantic echo chamber. One of the side affects of a well moderated list is a stable or growing population of participants. Conversely, a poorly moderated list tends to lose many of the voices one needs for a diverse exchange of views (as it tends towards echo chamber mode). > > Having said that, the current situation is obscure to say the least.

I've heard this from a number of folks. Some simply cannot post to the list for whatever reason. Likely RBL/DUL blocking on email servers. We build email annotation pipelines, that do a much better job than DUL/RBL lists. DUL/RBL are daisy cutters*, annotation pipelines are scalpels. Chances are these people are the collateral damage associated with using RBL/DUL. * A "daisy cutter" is a euphemism for a very large explosive device in which the shockwave, traversing a large field, could remove flowers from their stalks.

Ten years ago, then-President George W. Bush held up the badge of George Howard, a police officer who died at the World Trade Center, during a session of Congress. The badge, Bush said, was "a reminder of lives that ended, and a task that does not end."
This year, the memory of that same officer — via his family — will leave another reminder in Huntington Beach.
The city's police and fire associations have facilitated the delivery of two steel girders from the World Trade Center and plan to convert them to a 9/11 memorial outside City Hall. The first piece arrived last week from the New York-New Jersey Port Authority, and the Huntington officials have invited the officer's son, New York firefighter Chris Howard, to present the second girder at 10 a.m. Saturday at City Hall.
"It's very touching," said Kreg Muller, president of the Huntington Beach Police Officers Assn. "I feel honored for our city to be able to receive two pieces of the World Trade Center. It's symbolism that changed the world, really."
Huntington Beach police officers went to New York City after 9/11 to aid New York safety personnel in rescue and recovery efforts. In May 2002, a group of officers met Howard at a memorial ceremony in Washington, D.C., according to Officer Jack Paholski.
Earlier this year, Howard contacted the Huntington Beach officers and invited them to apply to receive pieces of the World Trade Center, Muller said.
The police and fire associations applied to the Fire Department and Port Authority and succeeded with both.
Howard could not be reached for comment.
At an American Legion ceremony Sunday at Pier Plaza, the associations plan to begin a fundraising drive for the 9/11 memorial. Community members will also be invited to submit designs for the installation, with the only criteria being that the design must incorporate the two girders, mention the locations of the 9/11 attacks and avoid any religious connotations.
"It could be a high school student who was just touched by 9/11," Muller said. "It could be anybody."
The girder that arrived last week is about 3 feet long, with four spikes on one end connected to a chunk of concrete.
Dennis Hashin, the police union's chief financial officer, said it wasn't clear where in the World Trade Center the girder had resided.
Darrin Witt, the president of Huntington's firefighters association, said he and his colleagues have a longstanding tradition of traveling to New York for St. Patrick's Day and knew some of the responders who perished on 9/11.
"These are very brave men and women," Witt said. "From our point of view, it's an extreme honor that we've been able to get these pieces of steel and create this monument to remember them by."

George Daniels Interview
Back in 2005 when we launched Alliance Wakeskate, we debated who would get the interview in the fledgling issue. After much discussion, we settled on George Daniels, who at that point was just starting to step out from the shadows of Scott Byerly and make a name for himself with his trademark lanky style. Well, wakeskating has grown up a lot since then, and so has George. In fact, the only things that are really the same are that George keeps getting better and still loves wakeskating every bit as much. We'll let him tell you about the rest of it.
AWS: Tell me about your injury. When and how did it happen, and how long before you were back on the water?
GD: It was last year (2008) at Wakestock in Canada. They had a pool stunt with a ledge on the right and a kink box with a lil gap in it, and a huge double 4 gap pulled by one of those down and back cable systems. So I was jammin' on it the day before the boat contest. I was getting really close to doing a back shuv down the huge 4. Well, I kept trying and trying, I said to myself "one more. " So I land it on the bolts, and stopped. My knee twisted and boom, I knew my ACL had been torn again. So I had surgery in September, and got on the board and started to cruise around after my stitches were out. So in about 3 to 4 weeks I was back on the water.
AWS: When you got hurt, did you ever consider dropping the handle? Throwing in the towel so to speak?
GD: I never of thought of throwing the handle at all! I just remembered how much fun wakeskating can be with a little bit of a break, haha. Wakeskating is my life. Ride or die!
AWS: Does your knee still bother you? You don't seem to be holding back at all…
GD: My knee does have a few kinks to work out, but all in all it feels strong now. It's been about 10 months now. I'm really feeling good about riding these days. I think I learned more tricks after I got hurt…weird!
AWS: How long before you will get sick of people calling you riding well a "comeback?"
GD: I can't really get sick of that. It is a comeback. Heck, I've had 2 knee surgeries and keep progressing my riding. I'm stoked for myself. Call it a comeback, it doesn't bother me.
AWS: So, you are a dad now. How do you like being a parent?
GD: I'm very proud of being a parent now. It's changed my life tremendously. It's sparked a fire under my ass to be more responsible for my actions, on and off the water.
AWS: How many diapers have you changed?
GD: I try to change as much as possible, but with touring, I don't get too. When I'm home, I usually change one a day.
AWS: What's the weirdest thing about having a kid?
GD: I guess just knowing you made something so beautiful, with a woman you love. So I wouldn't call it weird, just a gift!
AWS: Do you like being called Papa Georgio or are you pissed at Staker for starting that?
GD: I've never been pissed off at Staker, he's my bud. It actually goes with my life now, so I dig it! Staker, you're the man.
AWS: Did having a baby change your attitude at all? I guess, has it affected your riding at all?
GD: My son Jagger has motivated me so much. He is the best kid ever. He's at the contests with me, and goes to Byerly's too. Knowing he's there boosts my energy a bunch.
AWS: How is the Byerly Bus Tour going?
GD: The bus tour has been great. Everywhere we go, people are stoked on the product. Lots of cool spots to ride, and cool people we have met. It's been a success!
AWS: Who is the best travel companion?
GD: The best companion would be everyone. We all get along great, were like one big happy family trapped in a 40×8 home on wheels. hahaha.
AWS: Who's the worst? And why? Do they smell bad?
GD: No one. I mean we sometimes have a disagreement on things, but that's how a family works, you know. We're not the Brady Bunch. We're the Byerly la Famila.
AWS: What's been your favorite stop of the tour so far?
GD: Hammond, LA. Out there with Chip Smith and Rukus Boardshop. We got to play out there for 4 days in this pond he has. He's got a pool gap with a left hubba, and a nice size gap. Bret Little killed it on that. Then the other pond consists of a incline, a rooftop rail, and a up-to-flat rail. Everyone went off on that pond, for sure. We had a good ol' crawfish broil as well to top off that trip. Thanks Chip for everything.
AWS: Byerly has obviously been a big part of your life since you got started in wakeskating… Where do you think you'd be if he hadn't taken you under his wing way back when?
GD: Well he's been there for everything. Since day one me and Byerly have had a great relationship. I don't know where I would be with out him today. He's a huge part of my life. He's the godfather of my child. That says it all.
AWS:How has wakeskating changed for you since you started?
GD: It's changed a lot for me. I have gotten to travel the country and beyond. Just being in new water all over the country is really cool. I wouldn't change it for nothing.
AWS: Is it strange to be "one of the older riders" now?
GD: It's not that bad. I know I've done some things for the sport, and still want to keep going. I don't wanna be known as "one of the older riders," I would like be known as a rider who as help push the sport for younger talent to come.
AWS: Who do you think is pushing the sport the most these days?
GD: There's a handful of riders pushing it. From winch to wake to rails. There's so much talent out there, but if I had to say one person that I think stands out a lot, it would have to be Andrew Pastura, He's very universal on everything. Well done Andy!
AWS: Are you working on any new tricks yourself?
GD: I'm working on getting BACK INTO THE GROOVE. So once I get comfortable again to where I need to be mentally, then things will pop off, son!
AWS: Where is your favorite place to ride, and why?
GD: My favorite place to ride is Byerly's. All my friends are over there, and we can build whatever we want. I love it there, it's a family-oriented place to be.
AWS: Anyone you'd like to thank?
GD: God, my mom and dad, Casey and Jagger, Scott and Kim Byerly and the fam, Prefontaine with O'neill, Bisch with Reef, Matty with Oakley, Biscut and Steve with Rockstar, the Byerly team, Butch, Alliance Wake, and everyone that has supported me through my career.

This morning I woke up at 8am which is unheard of in my book for a Saturday. I was having withdrawal symptoms over 'Ripe Peach' brush ombre from the Spring Colour Forecast collection. I needed to see what the fuss was about and headed to the Mac pro store in London. I was there 1 hour before it opened, talk about 'eager', and spotted staff waiting to go in. I was told 'Ripe Peach' sold out yesterday. I'm like: WHATTTT!
I speed walked to Selfridges, and a MA told me they sold out yesterday but, they had a delivery this morning. *Fireworks!* When I saw 'Ripe Peach' it looked like such a practical colour, it's like having 3 blushes in one because of the colour gradient. It's shimmery and not matte, it looks very Spring / Summer, the pigmentation is excellent as is the texture.
Is the colour dupeable? Well...
Nars 'Gina' is a matte peach colour, Illamasqua 'Lover' is a matte pastel peach colour. They all look quite similar in the pan, but once swatched look totally different.
Clearly, the lighter and darker sides of 'Ripe Peach' have no connection to 'Gina' or 'Lover'. A 100% dupe for the darker shade of 'Ripe Peach' is Illamasqua 'Rude' cream blush. I forgot to include it in the picture!
If you look at a closer swatch of 'Ripe Peach' all swirled together next to Gina & Lover, there is a connection. But, clearly not a dupe, 1) because of the shimmer factor and 2) because 'Ripe Peach' has a sweeter pink undertone. I'm SO happy I have it in my collection, it's going to get a lot of love!
I also purchased 'Ember Glow' lipglass from the colour forecast collection, I wanted this SO badly. I'm such a peach'aholic.
Ember glow is not as pale as Underage, and not as bright as 'Pink lemonade'. It's a lovely peachy in between. It's a very wearable pretty neutral shade. I think I want a backup of this, and I NEVER want or own any backups.
'Sun and Moon' mineralize blush was the only thing I purchased from the Too Fabulous collection, this colour was too unique to miss.
It's a beautiful pinky coral shade with a golden bronze sheen. I think it's the prettiest colour I own, even nicer than 'Ripe Peach'.

Family trips, vacation and recreational activities are always fun and memorable. Family members get to be with each other and bond despite the busy fast-paced life. Nevertheless, these trips would be more interesting if you get discount coupons for the places that you and your family want to visit. You would save an amount of your allotted getaway budget. Thus, it is best to secure discount coupons a week or perhaps a month before your trip.
If your family is planning to visit Canada, Vancouver Aquarium is one of the most popular sites to visit. The good news is it treats visitors with discount coupons! Previously on this blog, Vancouver Aquarium was introduced. By now, you know the services and amenities that the marine center in store for you. You are now also aware that there is one coupon offered by the Aquarium which has $1 discount for each regular admission.
You need not to dine in a certain restaurant or join any promo contest just to get the $1 discount Vancouver Aquarium Coupon. All you need to do is save the image, prepare your printer, hit the print button and alas! You are now ready to visit the site!
The better news is that 5 people are catered by each coupon. It is really intended for a small to a large group of visitors. You may print a couple of copies for use if you're more than 5 in a group.
I believe that the factors mentioned earlier are reasonable to declare that Vancouver Aquarium Coupon is a must have for outings especially if you are a lover of the marine world.

GARRETSON, S.D. (AP) - A fertilizer company based in South Dakota has been sold to Koch Fertilizer, a company that has plants in the United States, Canada, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Koch FPF Holdings, a subsidiary of Koch Fertilizer, announced that it has acquired Farmer Plant Food Inc., a company based in Garretson that manufactures and distributes fertilizer products and services.
Farmers Plant Food also has facilities in Wolsey and Corson and in Verdi, Minn.
Kevin Baum, president of Farmers Plant Food, will remain with the business on a consulting basis to help with the transition to Koch Fertilizer.
Baum founded Farmers Plant Food in 1980 as a regional fertilizer distributor of urea ammonium nitrate and a manufacturer of ammonium polyphosphate. It has expanded into other fertilizer produces in recent years.

INTERNET NEWSWorldNetDaily Exclusive
WND being censored from search engines?
Obama birth certificate links buried on Google News site
On a story that no news organization has followed more closely than WND – questions surrounding Barack Obama's birth certificate – one of the Internet's top news portals, Google News, is now placing dozens of sources and even left-leaning blogs higher in the search rankings than WND.
So appears to be Bing, the new Google competitor.
Weeks ago, when WND was one of the few sources for news information about President Obama's eligibility controversy, a search for "Obama birth certificate" on Google News would have produced dozens of WND story links.
Today, however, typing in "Obama birth certificate" and sorting by relevance leads to a long list of links apparently deemed more "relevant" than WND's coverage.
Screenshot of Google News' most "relevant" stories, none of which are from WND
Even clicking to open the top package of stories under "all news articles," any article from WND takes a while to find. Instead, four of the top five stories listed are from the left-leaning Huffington Post. The sixth story is from the Los Angeles Times, titled "How to really shut up the Obama 'birthers.'"
Screenshot of Google News' most "relevant" links in its lead article package, showing most from Huffington Post
Clicking on the related blogs section further shows that 12 of the 18 listed entries are from the "progressive" websites Huffington Post and Daily Kos.
Sorting the main page's results by relevance, the first mention of a WND story on Obama's birth certificate is a column by WND Editor Joseph Farah, listed on the fourth page of results; and the first news story is an article dated July 19, found on the fourth page of results.
WND even posted a fresh story – while this article was being written – about Obama's birth certificate and containing the key words "Obama birth certificate," but rather than appearing among the most "relevant" stories on Google News, it appears on the fifth page of search results.
Want to turn up the pressure to learn the facts? Get your signs and postcards asking for the president's birth certificate documentation here.
Farah will be on Michael Savage's radio program today to discuss what he calls "a broad pattern of Internet search engine censorship" that began today by Google, Bing and others blocking WND's extensive coverage of questions surrounding Barack Obama's eligibility for office.
"In more than 12 years of Internet experience, I have never seen anything like this," said Farah. "As of today, all the major search engines systematically began scrubbing our content. This happened at the very moment this story broke into the mainstream."
"Just like the major media outlets banned our billboard campaign, now the major Internet monopolies are banning our content on this issue," Farah said. "It is an outrage in a supposedly free society."
WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama's American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.
Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.
Complicating the situation is Obama's decision to spend sums estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to avoid releasing a state birth certificate that would put to rest all of the questions.
The question over Obama's eligibility now also is being raised on billboards nationwide.
"Where's The Birth Certificate?" billboard in Pennsylvania
The billboard campaign follows an ongoing petition campaign launched several months ago by WND Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah.
The billboards are intended to raise public awareness of the fact that Obama has never released the standard "long-form" birth certificate that would show which hospital he was born in, the attending physician and establish that he truly was born in Hawaii, as his autobiography maintains. Hawaiian officials have said they have seen that document; but a recent report on the Lou Dobbs show on CNN said in a directly conflicting statement that Hawaiian officials said the document was destroyed.
Send a contribution to support the national billboard campaign that asks a simple question: "Where's the birth certificate?"
Over the last few days, other media outlets have picked up on the story, particularly in the wake of Dobbs' on-air discussions of the issue, leading to a wide variety of links on news portals like those through search engines Google, Yahoo and Bing.
What's unclear, however, is how the search engines sort by "relevance."
Searching "Obama birth certificate" on Yahoo's news portal brings up WND links on the first page of results, though the newest stories are still several pages into the search results. Microsoft's new Bing engine doesn't list WND articles at all. And until recently, WND's stories were considered among the most "relevant" by Google News, but are now buried in the results pages.
Even sorting the articles by date rather than relevance, to accommodate for the recent surge in media attention on the birth certificate issue, shows the Google News engine not keeping up-to-date on WND's articles.
The first WND article to appear when searching for "Obama birth certificate" comes on the 19th page of results: a July 20 article, even though WND ran a story and an update on the issue on July 22.
Refining the search to seek out WND specifically reveals the results one would expect, with WND's articles coming right to the top, so Google News hasn't omitted WND completely, as MSN's Bing has. Searching "Obama eligibility" also brings WND articles to the forefront when sorted both by relevance and by date.
For unknown reasons, however, the Google News search engine is assigning dozens of news sources and blogs more "relevance" than WND on the issue of Obama's birth certificate.
WND requests for comment from Google and others did not generate a response.
Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs
WND previously reported on claims by Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs that Google had banned her articles about Obama's birth certificate through a technique many people refer to as "sandboxing."
"There was no warning, no notice, nothing," Geller told WND. "They have basically sandboxed me."
"Sandboxing" happens when Google strips a website's rankings from its search engine results.
Geller told WND she believed her stories had been intentionally suppressed by the Internet giant – especially ones about President Obama. She said her exclusive stories about Obama's birth certificate that once received thousands of hits every day stopped coming up in Google word searches.
"I was in the top five search results before the story got legs," she said. "These stories drove 12,000 to 15,000 people to my site every day."
But a November earnings report showed her Google clicks and revenue flat lined. Daily page impressions dropped from an average of 20,000 and 45,000 to single digits – overnight. Also, her Google images hits were slowed to only 4,720 since that day, while Yahoo and other search engines list them in the hundreds of thousands.
"The media gives blogs the silent treatment," she said. "The only thing we have is these searches. The Google word search is gone – all gone. When you are in my business, that's how you build readership."
"I think that it's the birth certificate story," Geller told WND. "All of the sudden, my numbers were down by 10,000."
WND also reported concerns from bloggers before the election in 2008 about possible efforts to squelch anti-Obama talk on Google's Blogspot.com, after several blogs were flagged and locked.

I picked up these GOSH items at Superdrug during the 3 for 2 offer last week:
The truth is, I loved the look of the MAC Cosmetics Warm & Cozy Shadesticks, but really didn't want to end up spending £100 for no reason at MAC. These pencils are £6 each so I paid £12 for three:
GOSH is not a bad little brand is it? The counters are always a disgrace though – I only just managed to get the Beige shade (the rest were all opened and discarded) but the girl gave me an unopened tester.
I mean – is it the Superdrug Customers that are to blame? Or the sales staff that should be keeping the counters stocked and clean? Must the customers open brand new items and swirl them around? My personal belief is that even if there are no testers, its not my place to open a brand new item and swatch it. They just lose a sale, thats all.
(And anyway – Boots has the same type of counter set up, and its never in that horrible state).
But I digress.
The Pencils!
These pencils are:
– Waterproof
– No Mineral Oil
– No Scent
– Twist Up Applicator
– Has a high melting point (so it won't melt into mush in hot climates)
Sounds impressive…The beige is a good base shade for eyeshadow – this was what I was looking for and the colour works well even though it has quite a pearly edge.
Gold on the other hand, is more of a dirty-taupey gold, which looks quite nice:
On their own, the eyeshadow stayed put very well. It didn't last ALL day without creasing but it still stayed put better than a shadestick ever did.
The eye primer caught my eye – a pearly white base, also in the twist up stick form:
What I don't like about this primer is that its a pearly white – very frosty. In a way it doesn't matter because eyeshadow will go on top of it, but there's nothing worse than all over disco ball eyes. Makes me look googly, like a fish:
The primer is excellent! It really made my Lunasol eyeshadow last all day. I love the convenience of having a chubby stick over using something with an sponge – its just quick and easy peasy.
All in all, these are fab little pencils, a quick and easy way to use as a base.
The shade range is limited but its still worth a look, they are sold in Superdrug in the UK.

Special Equipment: Steaming basket
Serving Suggestion: French baguette, sliced
Preheat oven to 350 to 375 degrees F.
In a large pot fitted with a steaming basket, bring 1-inch of water to a boil. Place the endives in the basket, cover, and let cook until very soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a colander and let drain, pushing down on the endives with a clean kitchen towel until as much of the water as possible has been expelled. Do not mush the endives!
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the foam has subsided, add the endives and cook, turning occasionally, until brown and caramelized on all surfaces. Remove from heat and wrap each endive in 1 slice of the ham. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. When the foam has subsided whisk in the flour and cook 1 minute, being careful not to brown the flour. Whisk in the milk in a slow, steady stream. Bring to a boil whisking constantly, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes. Season with a generous amount of pepper and the nutmeg.
Spread about 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch flameproof ceramic baking dish, then arrange the ham-wrapped endives on top in a single layer. Cover with the remaining sauce and the cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Turn on the broiler, transfer the pan to the top rack, and broil until the cheese has patches of golden goodness - about 2 minutes. Serve hot with generous amounts of sauce and baguette slices.

Nokia has bumped the Camera Extras app for their Windows Phone 7.x devices to version 2.0. We haven't been ignoring the update. It's just that we aren't exactly sure what the update brings to the table.
There's not a change log available, which doesn't help, but we did notice that the "Smart Group Shot" feature is now labeled "Smart Shoot". We've also received tips that you can now remove unwanted items with the Smart Shoot feature but wasn't that always there?
For those not familiar, Camera Extras is a collection of four features that are incorporated into your Windows Phone 7.x camera on Lumia devices. The features include:
- Smart Shoot: Smart Shoot will take several pictures of the same group and select the most suitable facial expressions (avoiding subjects with their eyes closed, mouth open, looking away, etc.)and combine it all into one shot. You can also choose which facial expression to use as well.
- Action Shot: A burst mode to help you capture all the action shots you may face.
- Self Timer: A ten second timer to let you get in the picture.
- Panorama Mode: This allows you to capture several photos of landscapes and other wide angled subjects, the automatically stitches them together to create a single panoramic image.
If you haven't tried it out, you can find Camera Extras here in the Nokia Collection from your Lumia Windows Phone 7.x device. And if you're seeing something new that we've missed, feel free to share below in the comments.
Thanks, everyone, for the tips!

Circumstances prompting the suicide of 29-year-old Chang Pei-feng (張倍逢) last year have led the Council of Labor Affairs to rule that suicide driven by work stress is a form of occupational hazard.
In October last year, Chang leaped off a 25m-high platform at his workplace in the second factory of Formosa Plastics Group's (FPG, 台塑集團) naphtha cracker in Yunlin County's Mailiao Township (麥寮), ending his life only nine days prior to his planned wedding.
According to the council's investigation, Chang had committed suicide because his superiors had not responded to his report on a contracted company working at the site that had not followed work safety regulations.
Because the plant had suffered numerous accidents last year, Chang felt he was unable to maintain safety at the plant at the level required of him, the council said, adding that just prior to jumping off the building, Chang had sent a text message to his friends and family saying that he would use his death to prove that he had done his best to carry out his duties.
Department of Labor Safety and Health Deputy Chief Chen Sen (陳森) said the council agreed to look into the matter in June and held two occupational disease investigation hearings, in which the council referenced Japan's standards for recognizing vocational sicknesses for the first time.
"We found Chang may have been unable to process all the outside pressure — which happened in a short timeframe — due to work and hence committed suicide," Chen said, adding that because of that, it could be said that Chang had died as a result of his job.
The decision reached by the hearings was also verified by psychiatrists, Chen said, adding that the council set a precedent for the country by listing suicide as a form of occupational hazard for the first time.
Chang's father, who lives in Changhua City, said on Friday that the family had always thought of Chang's death as due to occupational hazards and that they were glad the government had given them justice.
Saying that they had already taken the 35-month compensation given out upon Chang's death, Chang's father said the family was entitled to another 10 months because the death was due to occupational hazards, but said that had yet to be discussed with FPG.
Article 64 of the Labor Insurance Act (勞工保險條例) stipulates that in addition to the basic five-month compensation package, "in case the survivors of the insured person in preceding paragraph claim for a lump sum survivors' allowance according to the third paragraph of Article 63, a forty-month package based on the insured's average monthly insurance salary should be granted."
FPG said it would respect the council's decision and do its best to compensate the family for their loss, adding that it would also work with corporate medical systems to help staff members with psychiatric problems.
Meanwhile, the council's Occupational Disease Verification Committee's statistics this year have hit a record high for applications for occupational sickness verifications.
Between January and last month, there have been 48 cases asking to be recognized as occupational illnesses, the committee said, adding that musculature, bone or spinal cord problems — at 48 percent (23 cases) of the total — were the most prevalent, cardiopulmonary and brain-related diseases came in second at 23 percent (11 cases) and psychiatric or suicide cases resulting from work stress came in third at 21 percent (10 cases). However, the committee said that there were were 10 times the number of psychiatric or suicide cases as last year.

Working with the United Nations Human Rights Programme_A Handbook for Civil Society
The Handbook is addressed to the civil society actors who, every day in every part of the world, contribute to the promotion, protection and advancement of human rights.
Developed following survey among users of the first edition of the Handbook—Working with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights: A Handbook for NGOs (2006)—this comprehensively updated and revised second edition puts United Nations human rights bodies and mechanisms at its centre. Speaking to all civil society actors, including but not only non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the Handbook explains how civil society can engage with various United Nations human rights bodies and mechanisms. It is the hope of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) that this Handbook will enable more people to enjoy and make claim to their human rights through these bodies and mechanisms.

Want to Help the Louisiana Seafood Industry? Eat Louisiana Seafood
The Louisiana seafood industry has been through a lot recently. There was Katrina, and then the BP oil spill. Most recently, the opening of spillways and freshwater diversions to relieve flooding further up the Mississippi has thrown off the coastal ecosystem. Yes, it's been a tough few years. But as I saw firsthand on my visit to New Orleans, Louisiana fishermen, the facilities that process their catch, and Gulf seafood itself are anything if not resilient. Here's a peek into the world of catching, cleaning, and eating Gulf seafood.
Our first stop was at Pontchartrain Blue Crabs in Slidell, a small processing facility that none-the-less houses all the necessary people and equipment to sort, boil, pick, and package lump crab meat. From boat to truck, that crab meat is out the door in a mere twenty-four hours.
This area was hard-hit by Katrina and the original facility was completely washed away. Gary Bauer, the owner of Pontchartrain Blue Crabs, rebuilt right on top of the concrete slabs left behind after the waters receded.
Motivatit Seafood was up next, an oyster processing facility owned by Mike Voisin in Houma, Louisiana. Voisin is a seventh generation oysterman, and his sons are ready to become the eighth. Voisin showed us how artificial reefs are created from used oyster shells, which are then seeded with live oysters.
These oysters take 3 to 4 years to mature, which means this operation will be feeling the cumulative affect of the recent disasters for some time to come. As it is, this facility processes around 750 million oysters every year, using their patented high-pressure pasteurization system to ensure that their oysters are extra-safe and ready for slurping straight from the shell.
Our final tour was of Gulf Island Shrimp and Seafood processing facility in Dulac. Here, shrimp are unloaded right off the boat, sorted by size, and then individually quick frozen before being packaged for shipping. Most impressive were the machines that automatically strip the shells off the shrimp!
One thing became very clear to me in the course of these tours: these people love what they do. From Mike Voisin and his sons to the fireman who runs a crab boat in his spare time to even the migrant workers who return to the same facility year after year, every single person clearly showed pride in their seafood and satisfaction in bringing it to the table.
It's been a hard number of years, but there are some blessings. Money received from BP and various government agencies is being used to test Louisiana seafood more rigorously than ever before. This funding is also going toward putting into place more safety measures and carrying out extensive research on the Gulf ecosystem, neither of which were possible to nearly this extent in years past.
The FDA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are using a two-tiered process for testing the seafood: sensory tests for odors (which can be detected by the human nose in surprisingly small amounts) and chemical testing for hydrocarbons. They have pronounced Gulf seafood clean and safe for consumption on all accounts.
But even more than studies and government tests, I trust the folks actually fishing and processing the seafood. I think that it's impossible for anyone to love what they do as much as these people and deliver an oyster or a crab or a pound of shrimp that is anything less than the very best. This alone makes me support Louisiana seafood.
Plus, it's just so darn tasty.
Want to help the Louisiana seafood industry? It's easy: just eat Louisiana seafood.

I dont quite grasp how you can manage, comfortably, to straddle both camps.
Rob, the meanings haven't been altered; the problem is growing ignorance of the meanings. We're dealing with generations who are "laying on the couch." What they're laying isn't clear. These are the same people who think the past tense of "sink" is "sunk." (I even saw that one in the Wall Street Journal a couple days ago.) It's the same bunch who believe it makes sense to say: "It begs the question, 'who done it?'" Several generations are involved because a couple generations back teachers joined the crowd, and it's been going on for a long time. When I was on active duty as a unit commander I'd have to review effectiveness reports written by the officers working for me. Again and again I'd run across the phrase: "The enormity of what this man has done. . ." or its equivalent. I'd suggest they look up the meaning of the word and see if that's really the word they want to use. I'd get blank stares.It's going to get worse before it gets better.
Rob, the meanings haven't been altered; the problem is growing ignorance of the meanings. We're dealing with generations who ...
"It sank""It was sunk""four candles please"!
Past tense v. past participle, maybe? Anyway, the two uses are distinct and not interchangeable.Rob C
My personal pet peeve, which appears often in the LuLa forum, is the use of the verb "loose" when the writer means "lose." Adding an extra "o" surely doesn't simplify the word, and since the two words have entirely different meanings in English, their misuse does nothing to improve communication.[/rant]
This is one of my pet peeves too. Why don't people make the same mistake with choose and chose?
Well, I for one chose not to.And I still choose not to.
Maybe you need to correct the Oxford University Press. The Oxford Dictionary states that both sank snd sunk are the past forms of sink. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/sink
Right Bryan, they're past "forms," but one's simple past tense and the other's past perfect. There's a difference. Yesterday it sank (action was going on). Now it's sunk (action complete. no more action).Now it's true that the Brits may have a different approach, but in the U.S. using past perfect for simple past tense is flat wrong. Reason I know is that my mom was a high school English teacher. But of course that was in the days when English teachers knew the difference.
In your sentence "Now it's sunk", the verb is is and sunk is an adjective not a verb.
My personal pet peeve ...[/rant]
So would it be wrong to say "it has sunk" as one might say "has exploded", and if one did say that would "sunk" and "exploded" be adjectives?
I would think of "has exploded" and "has sunk" as forms of the verb as I would think of "will explode" or indeed "will have exploded" or "will have sunk". But then, I am an English major, and so I like to complicate things.
Which raises -- not begs -- the question, what is your pet (language misuse) peeve? Surely "begs the question" in place of "raises the question." The former is a logical fallacy in which the speaker assumes the truth of a premise by simple assertion.
In your sentence "Yesterday it sank", sankis a verb. In your sentence "Now it's sunk", the verb is is and sunk is an adjective not a verb. I am an English teacher now and I know the difference.
But Rob,The split infinitive is a heap of horse poop. It was a somewhat foolhardy attempt by linguistic boffins to impart some classical pretentiousness to English, borrowed from Latin.And, of course, it must be remembered that even the Romans hardly spoke Latin.

Chronicle Text
Grades: for microfine control.
Designed for newspapers, where ink meets paper in unpredictable ways, Chronicle Text has been developed in four different "grades" to allow designers total control over their media — whatever that media may be.
Printing varies. Type shouldn't.
A typeface designed for text needs to account for the paper on which it's printed. When we developed our Mercury Text family for the New Times newspaper chain, we discovered that the paper's eleven regional editions printed differently: presses in Miami behaved differently from those in Phoenix, owing to variations not only in stock, but in climate. We applied these lessons to Chronicle Text as well, and created the family in four different grades, versions which are progressively more robust to accommodate different degrees of ink squeeze on press.
Act first, think later.
We designed all four grades of Chronicle Text using the same set of character widths, so designers prototyping with one font can switch grades later without affecting copyfit. This ability to swap out fonts not only gives designers real flexibility in responding to press tests, but it allows publications that use Chronicle's different grades to share the same content. And for designers looking to refresh an existing format, Chronicle's grades offer a range of typographic colors to choose from — a perfect way to appease readers (and editors) who are accustomed to the daintiness of Century Expanded, the heft of Imperial, or anything in between.

Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that begins in the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft tissue in the center of the bones, where blood cells are produced.
The term "leukemia" means "white blood." White blood cells (leukocytes) are used by the body to fight off infections and other foreign substances. They are made in the bone marrow.
Leukemia leads to an uncontrolled increase in the number of white blood cells.
The cancerous cells prevent healthy red cells, platelets, and mature white cells (leukocytes) from being made. Life-threatening symptoms may then develop.
The cancer cells spread to the bloodstream and lymph nodes. They can also travel to the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) and other parts of the body.
Leukemias are divided into two major types:
- Acute (which progresses quickly)
- Chronic (which progresses more slowly)
For information about a specific type of leukemia, see the following:
Acute lymphocytic leukemia(ALL) Acute myelogenous leukemia(AML) Chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL) Chronic myelogenous leukemia(CML) Hairy cell leukemia

Give your Family Peace of Mind
Life360 runs on your mobile device to allow you to view your family members on a map, communicate with them, and receive alerts when your loved ones arrive at home, school or work.
Life360 runs on your mobile device to allow you to view your family members on a map, communicate with them, and receive alerts when your loved ones arrive at home, school or work.
Our research shows that 6 to 8 text messages a day are dedicated to this question. Why not just open the Life360 map and answer it for yourself?
You made it to the soccer game, the poker tournament, or Aunt Millie's house. Avoid the "Did you arrive okay?" phone call. Check in instead. (Have an emergency? There's a button for that, too.)
Life360 Places lets you save your favorite locations so that friends and family will get automatic alerts when you come and go. Sure, it's a lazy way to check in, but it's effective!
Keep family & friends separate with Circles. We default to the Family Circle, but you'll want to create more for the other people in your life. Aunts & Uncles, perhaps? Babysitters? Dog walkers? Marathon pace team? There are many scenarios where location sharing comes in handy.
Messaging, location sharing, and check-ins are all Circle specific, so no one will see anything they don't need to.
When you create a Circle, you get to decide who is invited and who isn't. We know how important privacy is.
Location sharing is up to you. Not everyone needs to know where you are at all times. Location sharing is specific to each Circle, and you can turn it off and on whenever you want. But we always let the Circle know - just so others can make sure you're still safe.
Locations are standard, but what about locations AND messages? You can talk to family members while knowing where they are.
As Life360 has evolved, we've done everything we can to put you in the driver's seat. You control the invites, you control when you share your location, you control who goes in what Circle and you decide which Places you're going to save.
While you might invite Uncle Bob or Kathy from the YMCA to join a Circle, at its heart Life360 is about family. Knowing they're safe is the most important thing. Everything we do is designed to help you manage the chaos that is daily family life. From seeing where everyone is on a map to letting them know you'll be five minutes late, we've designed Life360 to make things a lot easier.
We want to spread the knowledge around. At Life360, we believe it's important for everyone in the family to know what's going on. We're not about people sneakily tracking their loved ones, we can't stop anyone from uninstalling the app, and there's no way to hide the fact that our app is installed. Call a family meeting, set rules together, and then use our app to give everyone peace of mind. Stay in sync throughout the day.
You trust us with your whereabouts, and that's not something we take lightly. Life360 uses top-notch GPS technology, and your maps and chat channels are built with bank-level security. Your locations and conversations will always be private, available only to people you invite.

Garaventa Lift Xpress II Specifications
Important Notice to Architects and Specifiers
This page contains specification templates and a link to a Spec Wizard tool. These allow you to quickly and easily develop a Garaventa Lift specification for your project. Be aware that the code requirements vary extensively from one jurisdiction to another and therefore affect the specification. Also, the application of these products to certain sites can be complex and often requires good product knowledge. We highly recommend that you work with the local authorized Garaventa Lift dealer to develop specifications suitable for each jurisdiction and site.
New CSI Format Specs Now Available!
Working closely with a professional spec writer we have developed a new generation of specifications. The new specs follow the three-part format used by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) allowing them to be easily incorporated into master specifications developed by architects and spec writers.
The specs are written in Microsoft Word format allowing use of the HIDDEN TEXT feature of this program. This HIDDEN TEXT appears in bold pink lettering throughout the spec document as instructions to the specifier. It appears wherever a selection is required and often includes helpful information.
The spec documents are programmed so that paragraph numbering automatically resets whenever a paragraph is deleted.
When this editing is complete, then the HIDDEN TEXT can be made to disappear by using the commands in TOOLS / OPTIONS / VIEW. Simply un-tick the HIDDEN TEXT box and the pink instructional text disappears. The result is a clean spec document ready for use.
DOWNLOAD (Microsoft Word file)
Introducing Spec Wizard - Make Custom Specs in Minutes!We worked closely with ARCAT professionals to develop the new CSI format specs listed above. Then we took it a step further and had web programmers load our spec paragraphs into an on-line database. By simply working down a checklist of features and options you can select the appropriate spec paragraphs you want to appear in your document. When you get to the bottom of the checklist, simply click on the Word or Word Perfect icon and presto, you have an instant custom platform lift specification!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The king of Israeli supermarkets, Rami Levi, opened a branch in Judea in the so-called "West Bank," which became an instant hit with local Palestinians. The store is located on Route 60 in the Gush Etzion bloc of Jewish settlements between Bethlehem and Hebron. Rami Levi stores are known for good value and that is a boon to Jewish settlers and Palestinians alike.

Beware: Cinnamon Challenge [AUDIO]
Darcy Jensen of Prairie View Prevention Services in Sioux Falls says it's called "the cinnamon challenge!"
"It's really challenging someone to swallow a tablespoon of dry cinnamon without water in less than a minute."
While it might seem harmless, Darcy says the cinnamon challenge can cause serious health problems.
"What can be very dangerous is that as someone tries to do that it may seem like a very simple 'I can do that' kind of challenge, but what happens is people begin to cough and even choke. Some of the cinnamon collects in their lungs. That's where we see some health risks."
Darcy urges parents to talk to their kids about the cinnamon challenge.
"Instead of trying to protect or keep our kids from any danger, spend the time communicating with them about the risks involved with the cinnamon challenge."
Darcy say the cinnamon challenge is popular among some middle school students.
Darcy Jensen Talks About the Cinnamon Challenge:
