I wanted to love this BB cream so badly! I love the coverage, I love the feel and look of it. That packaging is top notch! What I did not love was the cystic acne I developed. I had to wash it off my face after only a couple hours because I could see the bumps forming on my face. I am so sad to give this a negative review. First off my skin type. I am a MAC NC/NW 20-25 I have combo/oily T zone. My skin is also not sensitive so I'm truly shocked at how badly this made me break out. I ordered shade 21 and 23 because I have a very odd skin tone. Mixing the two made for a perfect match. I love how it applied, my skin was brighter and decently covered. I'd say it has a medium coverage. It sets to a satin finish, not dewy, not matte. I didn't get to wear it long enough to describe it any more than that. Wish this wasn't such a fail. Looks nice on my vanity though.... :(

I really love this BB Cream. I use the colour #13 which is perfect for my fair skin. I find that it gives as much coverage as a foundation, but it does so much more for covering your pores! It makes your skin look flawless. I prefer this to other Missha BB's, as it is free from harmful ingredients (eg. parabens, mineral oils, etc). Additionally, there is no grey tone, which is great for me.
Buy it again? Yes!
This is perfect if your looking for a luminous natural look.... like wearing no makeup at all. not cakey and doesn't break me out! it is very pricy on the website BUT... I bought some from ebay for $5 and the real deal came in the mail!! $9 with shipping! pretty sweet deal if u ask me :) I wear #21 and blend with my fingers. although it initially goes on rather grey, it oxidizes to match your skin tone within a few minutes, very blendable, easy to apply and great coverage considering how light it feels on the skin. I have light skin, freckles, acne, dry skin, and only use concealer for around my eyes. bought this a few times over the last few years because I love it and it lasts FOREVER!!
I have sensitive combination oily acne-prone asian skin with yellow undertone around NC30
- free from harmful ingredient, specially paraben and chemical sunscreen
- glide on the skin, not cakey at all
- great coverage
- enough SPF for daily use
- control oil, only need to blot at noon once or twice max
- bit expensive for bb cream
- I suspect this bb cream is the culprit of my recent breakout along the cheek and jawline, but not cystic acne, only whitehead beneath the skin. When I stop using it for almost a month, the whitehead are still here but less.
- it also enhance my breakout appearance, people used to notice about them more if I use this bb cream.
- too much fragrance, smells like flower.

This bb cream gives me just right amount of coverage and number 13 is the perfect match for my skin. I'm using my third one now and it made my freckles fade a lot! Not as moisturizing as Missha claims so it's essential to apply a good face cream first if you have really dry skin.
I'm truly disappointed with this BB cream. Coverage is just okay, but it made my skin break out. Definitely does not worth its price.
I have super sensitive and thin skin. This BB cream is relatively thicker than other ones that I've used (i.e. Skin 79, Laneige, Hanskin) so my skin gets irritated when I wear it more often. It smells pretty nice but the texture is not as smooth as I would like it to be. I use the darker colour, 23, which is a good match for my skin because after a while, it adapts to the colour of your skin like other BB creams.
I'm 16 years old, acne prone skin, very oily,very sensitive skin
My mom and I have tried this, i had a high hopes for this because basically the salesperson told me that this is absolutely okay for sensitive skin and it claims to have 7 free harmful chemicals. I was really excited , first application was okay after 1 hour I have notice that the effectiveness of bb cream slightly gone , when I got home as usual I cleanse my face then eventually notice a new bumps in my face , I still continued using this product day after day but my pimples and my skin has gone wild. It's just so disappointing my mom hated this product too so what we did we just throw it away and did not manage to finish the product.
Additional info: the packaging sucks , it doesn't come with a pump
The bb cream runs through the cup ,it's so messy and unhygienic.
Expensive but not worth it . It doesn't claim what it says.
Skin type: Oily with dry spots and sensitive.
I love this BB Cream. I just ordered my second bottle of this. With frequent use (5 days a week), this lasted me about 10 months.
I am somebody who hates the feeling of having makeup on my face, especially the caked on look. I used to use regular fountain, which I felt was too thick and clogged my pores, and it looked very unnatural to me. I discovered BB cream through a friend, but my first BB cream was too grey and cakey-feeling on me.
I'm a big fan of the "no makeup" makeup look and this BB cream really achieves that. I don't have any acne but I do have a lot of freckles, beauty spots, some redness, and uneven skintone. This BB cream really balances all of that out. It's fairly liquidy, provides light coverage, and it looks like you don't have any make up on. It also doesn't feel heavy when you wear it. I use Shade 21, which is just slightly lighter than my natural skin tone (not noticeable) but 23 is too dark. There are only 3 shades.
- Inexpensive
- Feels light, not cakey
- No greyness
- Nice pump bottle dispenser
- Wears away on oily skin without primer
- Might not be enough coverage for some people
- Only 3 shades
Overall -
If you need acne or scarring coverage, I'm not quite sure if this will be what you're looking for. But if you need to balance out some uneven skin tone, then this might just be it.

This is probably my favourite BB cream. I also have Missha Perfect cover and Misa Cho Bo Yang which i also like but i do much prefer this BB out of the lot. The reason for this is that the colour (i use 23) is a perfect match for me and it slightly runnier then the two so it is easier to apply. It also blends into the skin well but not "masking" my skin and looks natural. You only need to go onto their website to read all the goodness that has been put into this or the bad which have been excluded. I also really like the style of tube that it comes in! I always apply after moisturising, and then brush on oil control powder as this BB cream does nothing to help with this. All in all a worthwhile BB cream.

Vanessa Muff isn't your typical 16-year-old. Yes, her schedule is chock-full of typical high school activities like dance lessons, rugby and volleyball practice, and homework, but she also dedicates hours upon hours to volunteer service each month (300 just since she started high school!) for organizations as diverse as the Alzheimer's Society of Toronto, the World Wildlife Fund, and the Sunshine Foundation, for which she is spokesperson and chair. "I enjoy helping people," she said in a recent phone interview. "You get a good feeling when you give to others. I've been volunteering since the age of nine, and it's made a difference in my life."
And there's something else that makes this Toronto teen unusual—she will be representing Canada at the Miss Teen International pageant in Chicago on July 28, 2011, with volunteerism as her platform. She has been doing beauty pageants since she was six years old, but she is not your typical pageant candidate either: she proudly admitted that she was the captain of an all-male football team a few years ago, when she was in middle school.
"What?" I was speechless.
"I'm the girliest tomboy you'll ever meet," she replied. When I asked for more details, Vanessa explained, "I had never played football before, and I really like trying new things. It turned out I was good at it, so I became captain. The other guys on the team were cool with it, and if anything, it was a good advantage for us. I was intimidated and nervous at first, but I got used to it."
Vanessa has never let nervousness stop her from doing something that she really wants to do. That's why she eagerly anticipates running in and volunteering at the Toronto Spartan Sprint on June 19, 2011, even though it is a different sort of volunteer event than what she usually does. "Usually when I go to volunteer events it's not that physically demanding," she said. "[But] this is right up my alley, I'm totally pumped." An athletic, active person already, Vanessa said that she does not have to change her fitness routine in order to train for the race.
And I doubt she would have time to. Despite her numerous extracurricular commitments, when I asked Vanessa how she manages her time, she was down-to-earth and centered. Even though she's busy and often on the go, she said, "I know I have to keep my priorities straight, and stay on the honor roll." Vanessa dreams of going to a teacher's college and becoming a high school science teacher. In that position, she could also coach high school sports teams. "It would be everything I love to do all in one job—basically reliving what I'm living now," she said with a laugh.
She's off to a good start—her original "20-element rap," created with her best friend, became a quick hit on youtube. But the notoriety didn't really excite Vanessa. What excited her was scrolling down to read the comments viewers had left beneath the video. "The video really helped kids remember the elements!"

This super performance (SP) tele-zoom has everything to satisfy the desires of successful nature or sport photographers. The extreme tele-end lets you bring your far away subjects up close and allows you to capture the images in a frame-filling format. The power to bring your subject nearer makes out interesting image compositions, and extends the photographic and creative horizon substantially. Furthermore, the lens offers fantastic image quality thanks to the application of modern design principles and high-quality glass.
The lens is equipped with a tripod adaptor and a filter Effect Control (FEC), to simplify the use of polarization filters. Chromatic aberration, which is a problem with many telephoto lenses, was minimized by the application of a LD (Low dispersion) element with low color dispersion. Clear colors, high resolution and brilliance are visible at every focal length as a result of this optimization.
*SP (super performance) high-capacity lenses of excellent optical and mechanical quality.
The designation "Di" (Digitally Integrated Design) marks a generation of lenses, which have been specially adapted to the higher requirements of digital SLR cameras (APS-C and full frame).
Please note: The Nikon mount is only compatible in the MF mode with the following Nikon cameras: D40, D40X and D60. This is due to fact that these 3 cameras require lenses with a built-in motor. The Nikon version of this lens does not have a built-in motor.

April 21, 2014
(AP) - Two beach houses owned by Gov. Bob McDonnell's family were broken into as the governor was in Richmond overseeing the state's preparation and response to Superstorm Sandy.
The governor's office on Thursday confirmed the thefts at the two Virginia Beach properties but declined further comment.
Media outlets report that, according to Virginia Beach police, the homes were broken into sometime between Saturday and Monday and two televisions were taken.
Local police are investigating but no arrests have been made.
McDonnell co-owns the properties in the Sandbridge area with his wife and his sisters.

Will this conference now get the Big East's automatic BCS bid?
Report: Former Big East schools to rebrand as American Athletic Conference
The conference formerly known as the Big East will adopt American Athletic Conference as its new name, according to Brett McMurphy of ESPN.
The remaining lineup of former Big East schools consisting of Cincinnati, Connecticut, Louisville, Rutgers and South Florida, plus new additions Central Florida, East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, SMU, Temple and Tulane, reportedly needed to finalize a new name before May 2.
The schools reportedly to be bundled as the American Athletic Conference gave the rights to the Big East name to the new basketball only alignment of DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's, Villanova, Butler, Creighton and Xavier.
American Athletic Conference is new name for former Big East, sources told @ESPN—
Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) April 03, 2013
Man, is this conference a shadow of what it used to be. Sure, I woudln't consider the old Big East great, but this lineup is horrible. Not one traditional (football) power in the lot. They will be even worse when Rutgers leaves.
Their brand of play will probably be a step under the American Athletic Union (AAU). So, the name probably fits but it still sucks --- like the institutions that make up that little leauge (not Elite or Premier, but the kids that cannot run, catch, or throw).
The name is terrible. As Akeem said, "I go to the University of the United States."
Drop conferences entirely and do something more what Soccer does... Put the 10 best teams in a "TOP" division. The next 10 in the next division and so on.
Each year you play the other 9 teams in your division + 3 out of your division. At the end of each year the bottom two teams are moved down to the next lower division and the the next two teams in the next lower division move up. If you have 20 divisions, you could have "Championship" games in each division replacing the worthless lower bowl games we have now, as my system would have winners with the chance to move up a division making them relevant again.
Do that across all of Division 1 and you develop a fair system where the conference affiliation (cough, Boise State, cough) doesn't matter anymore. Better teams will play in the better divisions and equal schools end up playing 9 games each year against equal competition + 3 'choice games' - which can be the 'annual' games.. (Irish vs. S'ern Cal, Ohio St vs Mich, etc) --
The greed of college sports and realignment.. A generic named conference that will last less than 3 seasons before they are pillaged by bigger conferences and illogical geographies and rivalries will be created..my my my
Works in England b/c it is a relatively small country. Say goodbye to traveling fan bases. I can't imagine Ohio State fans traveling, en masse, to road games in Florida, Texas A&M, Oregon on a regular basis.
To clarify even further, England is almost exactly 50% the size of Texas. While the concept is very attractive in one way, it id flawed in so many:
1) One could make an argument that the first and perhaps second division teams could afford all the travel. But what about the teams in the tenth division? They have no regional rivalries. They have no hope of a cash cow like Michigan coming to fill their stadium. The get no payday when they go to be sacrificed at the Big House.
2) How do all the other sports teams group themselves? Do they have to travel and play the football schools, or do they stay in the current leagues?
3) While the term 'student athlete' is a joke, such a scenario would completely blow that out of the water, since there would be at least 2 full travel days per week.
Ironically, it was the Big East itself that opened this door, when Miami was inexplicably added to the conference, even though it has nothing in common in terms of academics or geography.
My suggestion is to make 'big time' college athletics what it actually is - a minor professional development league. It would be not unlike the old factory sponsored minor league baseball teams. The towns still took pride and there was still rivalries. Why make the athletes actually study, when they really don't do it now ( Hello Auburn!!) Of course the reason this could never happen is that the schools would have to pay the athletes actually dollar bills, instead of the ethereal value of an education in underwater basket weaving. They have a cash cow, with the current situation - at least until Ed O'Bannon is done with them.

Accurate Barometer
Every weather forecast service presents barometric pressure referred to mean sea level, but if you (and your device) are not at sea level?
Well, this App locates your position, identifies the altitude of your location and so it corrects the measured pressure to refer it to mean sea level.
It also:
- shows the pressure in different barometric units (hPa, mbar, mmHg, inHg)
- keeps history of measures and gives the pressure trends
- gives short time weather forecasts based on barometric pressure and pressure trend
In order to obtain valid weather forecasts, the user is encouraged to launch the App every day (better even often), to permit pressure trend evaluation.
Accurate Barometer is intended for devices with integrated pressure sensor.

pressureNET is a network of crowdsourced weather sensors. We automatically collect atmospheric pressure measurements using barometers in new Android devices. We're sharing this live data with scientists and researchers to improve weather forecasting. Soon we'll provide you with a weather forecast based on everyone's live, shared data!
We're going to make new weather models using the data that pressureNET automatically collects - these models should produce forecasts that are significantly more accurate than any other method! Since the data is collected using smartphones, we can gather way more data about the atmosphere than ever before.
Until we make forecasts, pressureNET shows you the raw data. The pressure data is displayed in graphs so that you can see both your own data as well as other regions' graphed over time. We've just added animations as well, so you can watch storms moving across a region. pressureNET has been featured on BBC World Service, Wired Science, and MIT Technology Review (see below for links).
pressureNET supports all devices running Android 3.0+, though only tablets or phones with barometers will be able to contribute readings, see their pressure and use the widget.
Devices with barometers include:
Galaxy S3, S4, S5
Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy Note, 2, 3
Nexus 4, 5, 10
Xiaomi MI-2, MI-3
Droid Ultra
Moto X
HTC One (M8)
..and others!

Barometer in Status Bar
The application window contains two tabs. On the first tab are an indicator that displays the current barometric pressure, buttons for scaling it, as well as some application settings. The second tab contains a graph of pressure change over time and an indicator showing the dynamics of change of pressure (growth/decline).
The main feature of the application is to display the current atmospheric pressure, as well as the direction and magnitude of pressure change in the status bar of the device. This is convenient because the pressure and trends are always before your eyes. In addition, this function can be disabled at any time.
This program will be useful to those people who are interested in the weather, enjoys fishing, loves to travel, has an active lifestyle or sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure.
Details of the application:
• Wide range of units of atmospheric pressure (mmHg, hPa, mbar, inHg, psi, etc.);
• The range of values displayed in the status bar: 680 - 800 mm Hg (range of values displayed in the window is the range of pressure sensor installed on the device);
• Deviation of pressure: 0.1 mmHg;
• Display of pressure changes in a graph for a certain period of time (6 hours, day, week, month);
• Setting min. and max . values on the ordinate;
• Display trends and pressure change for a certain period of time (1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours);
• Displays the current pressure and pressure change in the status bar ( can be turned off );
• Enable/disable boot an icon at system startup;
• Change the size of icons;
• Resizing the indicator for comfortable viewing on different screens;
• Ability to set indicators, icons and interface color;
• Ability to view information about the pressure sensor installed in the device (name, manufacturer, current consumption, resolution, etc.).
The application works only on devices equipped with an atmospheric pressure sensor. Currently it is the following devices:
• Samsung Galaxy S V;
• Samsung Galaxy S IV;
• Samsung Galaxy S III;

Barometer Altimeter DashClock
- Barometer, Altimeter and Hygrometer (BETA)
- Fully customizable (Now you can change colors of almost everything)
- Charts
- Widget with trends
- DashClock support
- Uses built-in sensors
- Multiple units supported (Pressure - hPa, mmHg. inHg, mbar, atm. Altitude - meters, feet)
- Internet connection is required only for providing better accuracy of the altimeter (but only downloads data when you want to - there is no background data usage)
- Data exporting to a .csv file (supported by MS Excel etc.)
- Calibration
Nexus 5 users - there is a hardware or firmware bug in Nexus 5 (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62938). Until it is fixed I strongly recommend not to use pressure tracking as it will make other sensors hang and the app will also show some random values.
Some usage tips:
- QNH can be changed using volume buttons (short click, long click)
- http://www.mapping.com/airportcodes.shtml - visit this site to find your nearest airport ICAO code. It provides more accuracy of the altimeter.
- DashClock users – DC refreshes itself about once an hour. After installing the Barometer app, enabling pressure tracking and adding barometer to a DC widget, please wait a while(up to an hour) until it starts displaying correct pressure (instead of '000'). Pressure tracking service of the Barometer app does not start immediately. It is synced with other services running on Your device to preserve battery.
- Widgets (normal, not DashClock Extension) refresh with a frequency set by Pressure Tracking Interval (in app settings). It is possible to refresh widgets manually without enabled pressure tracking option (but without displaying trends). To do so, please set widget click action to 'Refresh widget'.
- If you want to have a fully transparent widget background - slide the opacity bar to the far left (it doesn't matter what color it is)
- If you calibrate your barometer to show reduced pressure - disable the 'Use barometer calibration' option in Altimeter Settings.
Supported languages – English, Polish, Dutch and German. If you want to add more translations – please feel free to contact me.
For those who don't see this app in GooglePlay on their devices(CM users - I'm talking to you). Please contact me via email.
Mobile Weather Station
Turn your device into a thermometer, barometer, lightmeter and hygrometer - depending on which sensors your device has - with this app your phone is a tricorder & mobile science kit!
By using WeatherSignal you become part of the most ambitious weather crowdsourcing project in the world – helping to record weather patterns on a more localised level than ever before. We are working with numerous meteorological institutions, including the University of Washington, Birmingham University and the UK Met Office. Your readings help us improve weather forecasting for everyone!
Featured in the New Scientist and Scientific American! http://bit.ly/1aFY3Ls
This app is 100% ad-free :)
*Thermometer readings are experimental!*
✓ Readout for all the sensors on your device (think Tricorder - but real!)
✓ Widgets for temperature, magnetic, light, humidity and pressure sensors (if you have them)
✓ Save all data to CSV - play with it however you like
✓ Map of readings of other users and of your own, see averages within each map window, click on icons to see full readout
✓ Manual reports
✓ Tons of graphs (for geeks like us :))
✓ Contribute to our maps (you can turn off sharing in settings)
✓ Share data to help us improve the weather forecast
✓ Looks great on tablets
*** This app is experimental! Readings from sensors may be faulty, we are developing ways of filtering and correcting this. In particular, individual TEMPERATURE readings may be incorrect, but when averaged over many users we get reliable information for our community powered maps. ***
WeatherSignal is designed to help you make use of your phone's sensors. What the app shows depends on what model of phone you have and how many sensors it has. The app works best on the Galaxy S4 (as that phone has the most sensors) but has functionality on most Android devices
The WeatherSignal app can measure:
✓ Pressure (certain devices only)
✓ Temperature (see note)
✓ Light Intensity
✓ Humidity (Galaxy S4 only)
✓ Magnetic Flux
✓ Acceleration (turn on in application settings)
You can see graphs and maps of all these values live or over time.
This app is also one of the first to feature Google's Activity Recognition: monitor when you're walking, in vehicle, on a bicycle. You can save the results to CSV and perform your own analysis/create maps, for example for quantified self tracking
We've come up with an algorithm that translates battery temperature into ambient temperature – making your phone a thermometer. For each user this can sometimes be a bit approximate but we've discovered that there is a very strong correlation between battery and ambient temperature when spread over a crowd of users. If you are using a cell phone without an external thermometer then the temperature reading you'll see is a battery temperature reading converted through our algorithm. Often the algorithm will get it wrong, but we've shown that with appropriate averaging and filtering, these readings correlate extremely well with external ambient air temperature.
The Galaxy S4, which has an ambient air temperature thermometer, may produce incorrect readings - if the phone is hot (perhaps because it's been in your pocket or has been charging or intensively used) then the readings will be higher than air temperature.
Devices that contain barometers include:
Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy S3, S4, Note (1,2,3)
Nexus 4
Nexus 10
Xiaomi MI-2
Units available:
millibars/hPa inches of mercury aka Hg or inches H
centigrade/celsius and Fahrenheit
You might also be searching for: luxmeter, lightmeter, light meter, magnetometer, barometer, hygrometer, accelerometer, thermometer ... if your phone has it, WeatherSignal reads it, graphs it, maps it, saves it.
(weather signal, opensignal, open signal)
Weather Station
Most Android devices still do not have a barometer, ambient thermometer, or hygrometer. See the (probably incomplete) COMPATIBILITY list below for devices that this app is useful with.
For those who desire more, consider donating by purchasing Weather Station Pro. PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE FREE VERSION OF WEATHER STATION FIRST to make sure your device has the sensors for the types of readings you want.
***IF UPGRADING FROM v126.96.36.199 OR LOWER TO v2.0.0 OR HIGHER YOU WILL HAVE TO UNINSTALL THE OLD VERSION AND REBOOT FIRST. A "-24" error code appears during update. This error doesn't affect the app and only appears when you try to update. It is recommended you uninstall the old version of the app and reboot your device before reinstalling. If you don't want to update you can disable auto updates for the app in Google Play.

If anyone wants to help to translation please follow the link http://www.localize.io/v/3b
NOTE: you must wait for a while until you 'll show data at the charts. This delay time depends at the value of the tracking interval (default 1 hour) that you can change at the Brometer settings section.
- "openflights.org" and "OurAirports" for airport data.
- "Aviation Weather Center" and "OurAirports" for weather data.
Altimiter & Barometer Monitor
Tapping the top left corner information display will reset the Zero Setting.
Tapping the center Pressure Altitude display will re-sample the current barometric reading.
Sync, Database, Help, About, and Settings are available on the Action Bar.
The Barometer Monitor collects the current weather conditions, sea level barometer reading, and the phone's barometer reading. The data is saved to a database every 15 minutes. The database can be 'dumped' to a CSV or SQL file which can be uploaded to your computer. The file can then be processed with a spreadsheet or database program.
The Barometer Control and Display screen graphically displays the last 200 samples. When the sample count exceeds 200, the last 200 are initially displayed. To display earlier samples, swipe (scroll)the display horizontally.
-- The Altimeter --
The altimeter will show your pressure altitude, change in altitude, and current weather conditions. Set the zero point before you ride an elevator or climb a hill and see your change in altitude.
The altimeter displays:
- The sensor pressure reading in hectopascals and inches of mercury.
- A zero setting used to calculate changes in altitude.
- Pressure Altitude in feet or meters.
- Change in altitude from the zero point in feet or meters.
- Current weather conditions for your location
- Humidity percentage.
- Cloud cover percentage.
- Wind speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour.
- Wind direction as compass points and degrees.
- Visibility in miles or kilometers.
- Barometric sea level.
-- The Barometer Pressure Sensor Monitor --
The Barometer data collected by the monitor is graphically displayed on the Monitor Database and Control screen. The screen has 3 control functions:
- Start the monitor
- Stop the monitor
- Dump the database to a CSV or SQL file
The Barometer Monitor runs in the background building an SQLite database of samples every quarter hour. Once started, the monitor will run until stopped. If the phone is restarted or turned off and on, the monitor will restart.
The Barometer Monitor is battery and data friendly. The monitor battery use is less than 1%. Internet data is less than 1000 bytes of data per sample. Running 24/7, that is less than 100 kilobytes a day.
The monitor can dump the database to a file on your SD card. The file can be uploaded from your phone to a computer. The dump file record format can be either CSV or SQL.
The CSV format can be processed by a spreadsheet program.
The SQL format can be used to build an SQLite database. By editing the CREATE statement at the head of the SQL data, you can load the data into other database types such as MySQL.
The database is stored on public storage on your phone. If you have SQLite capabilities on your computer, you can copy the SQLite database without the need to dump it to SQL. The native SQLite database is compatible with SQLite on your laptop or desktop computer.
-- File Names --
Database: galaxyabw_barometer.db
CSV: galaxyabw_barometer_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.CSV
SQL: balaxyabw_barometer_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.SQL
YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS is the numerical year, month, day, hour, minute, and second that the file was created.
-- Crittercism --
Critercism has been removed.
-- Disclaimer --
The pressure sensor in the Galaxy phone is not a laboratory or aircraft quality sensor. Measurements between your phone and an aircraft altimeter or laboratory quality device will differ significantly. Measurements between phones may differ significantly. That said, the values captured on the same phone are reasonably accurate in relation to each other.

April 27, 2013
Thousands made their way out to the Foxfield Races on April 27, but a bus from Richmond almost didn't make it.
"We had a blow out, not just a flat tire, a complete blow out" says Kathryn McCollough, who was on the bus.
"We found things to do." said McCollough. "We are having fun playing cornhole. Same thing we would be doing if we were already there at the fields"
Fortunately a replacement tire was brought and only after an hour delay, the bus got on its way.
Police helped direct the massive amount of traffic going into the event this morning, but it was a long wait anyways.
Once inside, however, the fields teemed with people in big hats, pastels, dresses and other Foxfield staples.
"Literally everyone is here" remarked one young lady.
"Its a great annual tradition." says Mike Lubosh, a six year veteran of the races. "Seeing a lot of friends come back into town, a lot of times people you haven't seen since college."
Unlike years before, the nice weather held throughout the day.
"Last year it was raining and people still had a great time, they just put on rain jackets" said Martina Wilson, who has been coming for the past three years. "I brought rain boots just in case, you can't really predict the weather here."
No one said it better than Deborah Wilson, an English woman and Foxfield first timer. "A beautiful day, wonderful horses, great camaraderie with our pals, and we're having a fun time.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle-bone disease, is a genetic (inherited) disorder characterized by bones that break easily without a specific cause. An estimated 20,000 to 50,000 people in the US have this disease. OI can affect males and females of all races.
The cause of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is believed to be due to a genetic defect that causes imperfectly-formed or an inadequate amount of bone collagen - a protein found in the connective tissue.
Symptoms of OI include:
The symptoms of OI may resemble other bone problems or medical conditions. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Because this is a genetic disorder, your child's doctor will take a careful family history in addition to a complete medical history and do a physical examination. Diagnostic procedures for OI may include a skin biopsy to evaluate the amount and structure of collagen. However, this test is complicated and not many qualified facilities are available to perform the procedure. It is not unusual for results of the biopsy to take up to six months.
Additional diagnostic tests include:
Specific treatment for osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) will be determined by your child's physician based on the following:
To date, there is no known treatment, medicine, or surgery that will cure osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The goal of treatment is to prevent deformities and fractures and allow the child to function as independently as possible. Treatments for preventing or correcting symptoms may include the following:
Management of the disease includes focusing on preventing or minimizing deformities and maximizing the child's functional ability at home and in the community. Management of OI is either non-surgical or surgical. Nonsurgical interventions may include one or more of the following:
Surgical interventions may be considered to manage the following conditions:
Surgery may also be considered to maintain a child's ability to sit or stand.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a progressive condition that needs life-long management to prevent deformity and complications.
The interdisciplinary healthcare team helps the family to improve the child's functional outcomes and to provide support to the parents as they learn to care for their child's needs.
The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Society can be an important resource for parents of children with OI.

Summary of East of Eden Summary of East of Eden Reviews for East of Eden An Excerpt from East of Eden
Unabridged, 22 CDs, 25 hours
Read by Richard Poe
The masterpiece of Steinbeck's later years-a vastly ambitious novel that is at once a family saga and a modern retelling of the Book of Genesis
In his journal, Steinbeck called East of Eden "the first book," and indeed it has the primordial power and simplicity of myth. Set in the rich farmland of California's Salinas Valley, this sprawling and often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families-the Trasks and the Hamiltons-whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. Here is a work in which Steinbeck created his most mesmerizing characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of identity, the inexplicability of love, and the murderous consequences of love's absence.
A man whose work was equal to the vast social themes that drove him. (Don DeLillo)

A unique and first-ever-of-its-kind accomplishment by the Division was the initiative taken by the Division to envision, champion and lead an industry Actionable Situation Access Pull (ASAP) project. ASAP solicited from industry members existing C4ISR products to demonstrate secure and trusted information sharing. ASAP was proposed to OSD with the support of DISA and the COCOMs to become a funded new start FY 2005 Advanced Concept Technology Demo—ASAP ACTD. The uniqueness is rooted in not only the industry championship but also the use of IRAD resources to match the DOD's in the execution of the ACTD.Other examples of the Division's "product" contributions include:
Division championed studies and symposia are executed by either the C4 or INTEL Committees with the advice and consultation from a sponsoring DoD activity. All activities are agreed upon in advance through a terms of reference (TOR) document signed by both parties.
The C4ISR Division warmly welcomes active participation by member companies. It is our goal to support the strategic objectives of NDIA, our members and customers. It is though these cooperative activities that the mutual best interests of the nation are best served.

Triumph's decision to revamp the original Rocket III into a streetfighter is an interesting one. Why? Because it hardly fits the bill – stripped version of a sports bike with oddball looks – because of its custom-biased specs of long wheelbase and weight, but it works. Big, no, no, really big engine meets menacing black styling meets awesome torque and ...

The Triumph America is a cruiser with real cred – it harks back to the Thunderbird and other Triumphs modified in the States in the 60s and 70s. This means the Triumph America's not regarded as a Harley clone or copy like so many Japanese cruisers. It's a competent motorcycle too. It's not particularly rapid or sporty but the Triumph ...

Dear Carolyn:
There is a woman in my life with whom I do not wish to interact on a regular basis. She's incredibly selfish and cares only for her own happiness. She can't be trusted with confidences; she blabs everything to anyone who will listen, even when she's asked to keep something to herself. When I bothered to call her, she either didn't answer or was too busy to talk to me. I quit calling. Yet, when she calls me, she expects me to drop whatever I'm doing to chat. If I ignore her calls, she continues to call until I answer.

Little sneak-peak of the Printemps x Dior Christmas windows!
And pile of meat for lunch before shopping, naturally.
Here she comes! I'm here Marion, kiss me.
Coat – Zara. Khaki silk shirt- Iris & Ink. Midi-skirt – ASOS. Heels - Christian Louboutin Corneille. Bag – Reiss Mira. Belt – LV via Vestiaire Collective; Outfit shots by Kit
I'm sorry if lately it's just been Paris this and Paris that, but let's be honest, you can't really blame me, can you. Same way you can't blame me for sneaking out of bed in the middle of the night to eat Nutella out of the jar while burning up the refrigerator lightbulb, which is pretty much always. It's universal magic, we all know that. And seeing that my life is spectacularly, extra, extra ordinary (mind the gap), a quick trip to Printemps in Paris with Kit for an early taste of Christmas should no doubt be considered, extraordinary. Especially when it includes sparkling windows and a whole world of Dior behind a sheet of glass. Glass of course, makes this magical world much easier to reach than 1) the thick wardrobe doors of Narnia, or 2) a brick column to Platform 9¾ – technically at least. Plus I bet that window smells like Miss Dior from the inside and actually full of Helium gas that's leaked out from the balloons. Squeakiddy-squeak-squeak, sang the dolls.
Thank you Ykone & Printemps for having us! (See last year's mini-Karl domination in Printemps x Chanel windows)

So Murray played under the roof on Monday. It was a pretty intense match and I got absolutely nothing done that evening as I couldn't drag my eyes away from the TV.

Humidity can effect the speed of the ball though and certainly Murray has claimed that he … Read More

Tagged: food crisis
International donors must help Mali to rebuild its ability to govern itself and stop its slide into economic ruin if it is to "win the peace" following the French-led military intervention, says Oxfam.
Northern Mali will descend to emergency levels of food insecurity in less than two months if the security situation and humanitarian access to vulnerable communities do not improve.
In a new report, 'Learning the Lessons', international agency Oxfam says that the aid community needs to fundamentally change the way it deals with food crises in the region and help communities to better prepare for recurring emergencies.
In areas of northern Mali the price of food and fuel is rocketing as supplies start to dry up after looting following recent military operations, and with traders who have fled the area failing to return amid growing numbers of reports of reprisal attacks.
The hunger crisis in Yemen, which affects almost one out of every two Yemeni citizens, and is putting nearly one million children at risk of severe malnutrition, must be addressed immediately.
International aid agency Oxfam and leading West African farmers network ROPPA today welcomed an initial forecast of an improved harvest in the Sahel region but warned governments and the UN that the food crisis is far from over.
These photos, taken in Burkina Faso in June 2012, show the alarming situation in the Sahel region: More than 18 million people are in urgent
need of humanitarian aid. Oxfam hopes to reach 1.8 million people with aid.
Millions of people in Yemen are facing a severe humanitarian crisis, widespread hunger and chronic malnutrition. Oxfam is providing water, sanitation, hygiene and cash grants to some of the worst affected.
Half moon shaped irrigation channels help preserve water when it next rains. And by building them, Nigerien families earn an income to get through the hungry months until then.

"Spiral Jetty" earthwork: Thirty miles west of Brigham City, on the Great Salt Lake's northern arm, is the "Spiral Jetty" sculpture, created from basalt and earth by artist Robert Smithson in 1970. It forms a 1,500-foot-long coil stretching into the lake. Constructed during a long drought, "Spiral Jetty" became submerged a few years later when lake levels rose again. In 1999, it resurfaced.

The BRAIN Initiative
Brain Research through Advancing Innovative NeurotechnologiesSM (BRAIN)
New Blog Post: President Obamas Proposal to Double Federal Funding for the BRAIN Initiative, March 11, 2014 (New)
What is the BRAIN Initiative?
The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is part of a new Presidential focus aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of the human brain. By accelerating the development and application of innovative technologies, researchers will be able to produce a revolutionary new dynamic picture of the brain that, for the first time, shows how individual cells and complex neural circuits interact in both time and space. Long desired by researchers seeking new ways to treat, cure, and even prevent brain disorders, this picture will fill major gaps in our current knowledge and provide unprecedented opportunities for exploring exactly how the brain enables the human body to record, process, utilize, store, and retrieve vast quantities of information, all at the speed of thought.
THE BRAIN INITIATIVE and BRAIN RESEARCH THROUGH ADVANCING INNOVATIVE NEUROTECHNOLOGIES are service marks of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
