Wonderful product - 1/17/2015 5:11:28 AM Love this product! It is very light on my hair yet controls the frizz. I have tried a lot of products and this is the best yet. I have fine curly dry medium length hair that I color.Brought the natural curl back out - 1/11/2015 5:29:50 AM I gave this to my daughter fir Christmas . She just called me thus past week and can not believe the difference this has made in her hair . She has just come through an extremely stressful time and we all know the total stress can take on our body & hair . Well , the nature curl has cine back in her hair , she says it feels really healthy and other people have actually made comments on how great her hair looks . If she is happy , I am happy !! Thank you for making such a great product !Amazing product!!! - 1/9/2015 9:38:36 PM I wish I had discovered Alterna products sooner. I have bleached, over-processed hair and a few months ago, a bad bleach job really fried my hair. No other products worked in the way these products did. They transformed my hair from dry and damaged to soft and strong. They're worth the price!Love this - 1/3/2015 6:01:17 PM I have been using this for more than a year this is my 5th bottle great for split endsGives fine hair a boost - 12/27/2014 8:33:25 AM I have long, fine hair and I love the Alterna product line. Tried this one for the past month and I do notice a nice difference with the fullness of my hair. Doesn't add weight, absorbs easily and a little goes a long way.Best volume mousse ever - 12/24/2014 7:10:39 AM I've tried several volumizing style products over the years, and this is by far the best. Gives my fine hair the oomph needed to create long lasting volume, and leaves no sticky residue that results in bad bed hair the next day. Can be used every day, but also can be refreshed with spritz of water and a quick re-blow-dry if you don't feel like shampooing.Held my fine, limp hair all day - 12/5/2014 11:54:05 PM Will NEVER purchase another hairspray! Getting older w/very fine, lifeless hair..as well as starting to lose more of it. The whole Alterna line has given me improved body, volume & hair I always dreamed of..you cannot go wrong!!much better than a spray - 11/20/2014 2:26:29 PM This is a powder that you dust into your hair, which I didn't realize when I purchased it. It works so much better than any spray I've used, and the product lasts considerably longer as well, both in terms of how often I have to re-purchase, and how long I can go in between hair washing. For me, it absorbs oil better than any other "dry shampoo" product I've tried. A little trickier to use, maybe, but worth the minimal extra effort. Smells pretty nice. I should add that this is a white powder, and since I am blonde, it may be easier for me to blend in. Not sure if it would be a problem for the dark-haired.Best Root/Volume Booster Ever! - 11/16/2014 10:16:31 PM Longlasting, works great! Lasts few days on my fine, older, blonde hair..pricey, doesnt last very long if used consistently for price, but VERY worth it..will def buy again!!Truly Adds Volume - 11/15/2014 8:29:46 AM I love this set! Not only is it a great value but it does what it promises. I have been a long time user of the Alterna Caviar Volume shampoo/conditioner. Then I tried the 48 hour Volume spray. After my first use - I was hooked! I have long but fine hair. It was difficult for me to get that full volume look - until Alterna solved my problem. Tried this set - to see if I would get added volume and I have not been disappointed. I will always use Alterna and this particular set is the best! It gives you exactly what you're looking for. And for the price - you can't beat it! -

5 Best Game I have ever playedea6igo | 03/10/2013 | See all ea6igo's reviews (3)This was my first venue into the world of GTA... I will never look back
3 Rockstar messed up bigAirwalk | 19/09/2013 | See all Airwalk's reviews (2)First thing's first, GTA 5 is a fantastic game. The missions are great fun and there is so much to do it hurts your head just thinking about it. From golf, to diving, exploring wide open areas, hunting animals to watching movies. I really like the character change system where you play as 2 or more characters during a mission.However, there is major flaw, the driving mechanics. Cars handle like a bad need for speed game. Gone is the heavy feeling, hand braking and sliding round corners feel of GTA 4. What you get instead are jerky, badly responsive cars that seem to hover around. No realistic acceleration or deceleration. When you ram other vehicles you either bounce off or stick - and frequently do get stuck between vehicles in a pile up. You can't force your way out, even if in a lorry. It's ridiculous. As driving is the main part of this game, it basically ruins it. I've been playing 3 days solid now and am bored. Rampaging and exploring are what i like best about GTA games, but because the driving mechanics are so awful, it's just no fun. Also the damage is just stupid. A head on crash at full speed hardly dents the cars.So over all, a great game but i won't be playing this in 4 weeks time, let alone 4 years time like GTA4. Very disappointed - how could Rockstar have messed up the most important aspect of the game? Is this why it was delayed 6 months?
5 Disagree with guy below me.odkfn123 | 23/09/2013 | See all odkfn123's reviews (14)I've been a gamer for years, I love loads of games; metal gear, zelda, final fantasy, farcry, etc - this is definitely the best game I've ever played, or if not that, at least the best game I've played in years.The driving is far SUPERIOR than previous GTA games, it's much more realistic - but in a good way. This game has a driving skill and certain characters start off worse than others, I can only assume the previous reviewer hasn't figured this out yet.Great story, great game, great mechanics.
5 You have to get this game!!!!markl72 | 18/09/2013 | See all markl72's reviews (9)Ok where do I start!! Well you gotta beg, borrow or steal to get your hands on a copy of this game and then bunk of work/college/school for a week to really get your teeth into this one. While I've always really enjoyed the GTA series this is the first one to really get me from the very beginning. I was reading another review that wasn't to keen on the openining of the game saying that it was very slow and not fitting with the GTA world as a whole. I had a completely different experience, most likely because I shot the security guard outside the bank vault at the earliest opportunity and then had 10 minutes of glorious GTA Mayhem whilst being told to 'get to the chopper'! After that sequence ended and I was brought to the actual game I couldn't have been more impressed and for me it comes down to how credible the story is as well as the radio stations, a long standing favourite of mine in GTA especially the talk shows. Being a paddy I was more than pleased to hear some ridiculous Irish self help guru spouting all manner of guff over the airwaves while I was trying to keep up with Lamar. I wasn't even going to get this as I have pre-ordered my Xbox one and didn't want to have two consoles under my TV but I really didn't want to miss out on what could be the defining game of this generation! Anyway thats enough from me, back to Los Santos - after I call in sick that is!!!

Heroes' welcome
The appropriate fanfare was missing: No grand entrances, no trumpets to herald the moment.
Instead, the gathering of baseball immortals this weekend in Dallas just seemed to materialize – as if pre-ordained.
Which, of course, it was. But knowing that Hall of Famers will congregate for the Golden Era Committee election is much different that actually watching it happen. And watching it happen on Saturday night was truly special.
Juan Marichal was first, appearing in the hotel lobby moments before dinnertime. At 74, he still brightens the room with a smile – an expression that comes easily for him when discussing a just-completed cruise he took with more than 30 family members.
In a corner of the room, Ralph Kiner chats with 2011 Buck O'Neil Award winner Roland Hemond. Then Brooks Robinson makes his way into the group.
These men – the National Pastime's ultimate heroes – gathered at Baseball's Winter Meetings to work. Their charge: Consider the 10 candidates on the Golden Era Committee Hall of Fame ballot. Sixteen experts, including eight Hall of Famers, five executives and three veteran media members.
Within 48 hours of their arrival, their work was complete, as the Hall of Fame announced Monday that Ron Santo would be the newest legend to join their ranks in Cooperstown. And yet they seemed to savor every minute, enjoying the rare chance to see old friends and share new memories.
And just like that, they were gone. But the magic they created lingered on for all who saw them.
No fanfare necessary… Not when true heroes are in your midst.
Craig Muder is the director of communications at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Details have yet to be finalized, but it looks like I'll be going to a Nokia Mobile workshop (paid for by Nokia, including carbon offsets!) September 10-14,2008 being organzied by Nokia's WOMWorld folks. Sounds like fun. Maybe I can lead a session on Mobile Muse and SIFTTool.
Here's a portion of their invite:
It's taking place in September between the 11th and 14th, and will be the first of its kind hosted by Nokia. We're contacting everyone from creative's, designers, video producers to open source software bloggers and mobile tech pioneers. There will be a number of workshops that'll see discussion with participants, and with Nokia guys, about the future of different online arenas and mobile technology. Workshops that we hope you'd like to join in with and make yourself heard.
In the meantime, time to start my travel research. If anybody has been to Helsinki, love to have the following questions answered by a Helsinki person:
- Where can I get a pay as you go SIM Card with several gigs (2GB or higher) of data so I can blog, flickr, youtube, et with my Nokia N95-1 while at the workshop?
- Can somebody recommend the best place to rent a bicycle in Helsinki? I am a "born again" bicyclist who's been commuting to work for 16 months 5 days a week and who has taken thousands of photos from an N95 and uploaded to Qik while bicycling. So I'd want to do the same in Helsinki.
Walk into any Elisa shop
Walk into any Elisa shop and ask for a "Kolumbus" prepaid sim card. You can get unlimited 3G for a week for only 6,90 euro.
No clue about the bikes.
thanks stefan!
love to meet you too, will you be in Helsinki at that time? Beers on me!
Go Roland!
Very cool, Roland!
Looking forward to resulting Flickr stream.
prepare yourself
for a déluge of helsinki blurry flickr photos!
Bike rental
Best bet is probably here:
This article here points to the City bikes, but these can be hard to find (missing sadles etc), or might even have been put back in storage by September.
Check the links in the article, most have some limited information in English ;)

Watch The NFL Redzone vs. Live and highlights video
You are here for the first time and don't know how to watch a match?
Especially for you we made some short and useful instructions how to use our web site.
A guide for the beginners. How to use our web site?
A link to the broadcasting begins to appear below the name of the match after appearing of the small icon Live to the right from the name of the sport event with the beginning of every match. The links open in pop-up windows, so you have to allow the pop-ups on your PC, if you can't open the link.
There are several ways to watch the broadcastings in our website. Please have a look at them:
WebPlayer # BestLink # SopCast # Link # AceStream # This is how the link to broadcasting looks like. When you point your mouse to it you will get more information about the broadcasting: the name of the channel, the language of the broadcasting and a bitrate (index, that determines the quality of broadcasting)
WebPlayer # In this way the broadcasting is held by the ordinary fixed flash player, that's why it will be easy to watch for everyone.
For your information: the providers of such broadcastings are the users of youtube, vimeo and similar web sites and organize the broadcasting by these websites facilities. On our website we use an add-in embed code, that is uploaded by the users, so we are not responsible for the adds/ pop-up windows and a possible copyright abuse made by these users (this is a responsibility of the web services that provide these broadcastings). -
BestLink # The most sustainable and easy way to watch the broadcastings with an ordinary fixed flash player. No more pop-up windows and annoying adds.

You have no intellect to fathom or understand that Saban built something from the ground floor up. His building project including not only win's and losses but recruiting, relationships, 10's of millions of dollars in new facilities and creating a culture and identity to an establishment.

PHOENIX -- Jury selection is set to begin in the trial of a California woman accused of brutally murdering her boyfriend because he was going to break up with her.
According to police, Jodi Arias, now 31, shot Travis Alexander in the face, stabbed him 27 times and slit his throat in early June 2008.
Alexander's roommates found his body in his shower at their Mesa home on June 9. They immediately suspected Arias, going so far as to give the 911 operator her name and saying she had been "bothering" him and had even slashed his tires.
Investigators say Arias, a photographer who has been described as "extremely articulate" and "very well-spoken," gave them several versions of what happened. Although she initially claimed she was not with Alexander when was killed, evidence, including a bloody hand print on the floor of the bathroom, placed her at the scene.
Her second story involved two masked intruders -- a man and a woman -- who attacked her and killed Alexander. She said she was too scared to call the police.
Arias eventually changed her story again, this time claiming self-defense and telling detectives that Alexander got violent with her.
Among the evidence against Arias is a camera that was found in the washing machine at Alexander's home. The memory card contained suggestive photos of the couple, as well as pictures of Alexander's body in the shower.
Police arrested Arias in Siskiyou County, Calif. on July 15, 2008, just over a month after the murder. She has been in jail since then.
A couple of months after her arrest, Arias told "Inside Edition" she would never be convicted.
"No jury is going to convict me ... because I am innocent and you can mark my words on that," she said in a jailhouse interview three months after Alexander's murder. "No jury is going to convict me."
According to Arias, she and Alexander started dating in February 2007. She was living in Palm Desert, Calif. at the time.
While Arias' defense team says this should not be a capital case because she did not plan to kill Alexander, the death penalty is on the table. If convicted, she could become the fourth woman on Arizona's death row.
The jury selection process is slated to get under way at 2:30 p.m. The first step is for potential jurors to fill out questionnaires. It's expected to take about two weeks to get a jury seated.

La Gloria Cubana Gilded Age Robusto Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 12 reviews
"Worth A Try"
This is a good tasting cigar.
critterman5719 in Virginia November 29, 2013
"Terrible wrapper"
Loved everything but the wrapper. Bought 3 and all had wrapper issues when I opened the delivery package, to the point where the wrappers practically fell off the bottom 1/3 of the cigars!Draw was a little tight and th eburn was bad. Taste was great.Would try these again to see if I encountered wrapper issues again.
B Best in Windsor On October 5, 2013
"somewhat disappointed"
constructed well, burned well however draw was tight , and the taste was not smooth, almost stale. not extremely disappointed but i won't re-order
joe in ny September 30, 2013
"Rich, Creamy and Full of Flavor"
Fantastic stick. Slow burning and full of flavor, this la Gloria really impressed me. The chocolate leather and creamy notes came on full force in the beginning but mellowed out by the middle of the cigar. By the, the nub was neither excessively hot nor was it overly harsh on the palate. Left me wanting more. The next day I still had the flavors on my palate as well as in my mind. I'm coming back for more of these.
Lawrence in Scituate, RI September 11, 2013
This has become one of my favorite cigars. The creamy chocolaty flavors blend perfectly with a big cup of mocha coffee. LOVE this stick!! I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates a well made, well blended cigar. Great price too!!
Vinnie in Waterbury, CT August 28, 2013
incredibly built, tight wrapper.impressive.
frank in palisade, co August 21, 2013
Three days after trying my first LGC Gilded Age Robusto, I can still recall the taste, feel, and experience. I can't wait to try the Churchill. The build,feel, draw, and taste of the cigar is the reason I like to smoke cigars.
Some of the full, smooth draws surprised with sweetness. Great smoke.
Joe in Los Angeles August 18, 2013
"Excellent cigar will not disappoint"
Excellent cigar, smooth, good draw and not over powering with plenty of taste.
Joe Marino in Bridgewater NJ August 15, 2013
"Flawless, smooth, delicious"
I'm smoking the 2nd one of these as I write this review. The construction of this cigar is beautiful. It feels heavy in the hand. The draw is perfect. The burn is razor sharp. I can't describe the flavor, it's like nothing I have tasted before but, I love it. Buy this cigar, you won't be sorry.
Chris in Wethersfield, CT August 10, 2013
"Oh Yea!!"
Fantastic white smoke. Delicious flavor. I love this cigar. It'so unique, very firm pack, excellent draw,I have never tasted anything like it.
Chris in Connecticut August 9, 2013

Tinea capitis is a fungal infection of the scalp. It is also called ringworm of the scalp.
Related skin infections may be found:
Fungal infection - scalp; Infection - fungal - scalp; Tinea of the scalp; Ringworm - scalp
Fungi are germs that can live on the dead tissue of the hair, nails, and outer skin layers. Tinea capitis is caused by mold-like fungi called dermatophytes.
The fungi grow well in warm, moist areas. A tinea infection is more likely if you:
Tinea capitis or ringworm can spread easily. It most often affects children and goes away at puberty. However, it can occur at any age.
You can catch tinea capitis if you come into direct contact with an area of ringworm on someone else's body. You can also get it if you touch items such as combs, hats, or clothing that have been used by someone with ringworm. The infection can also be spread by pets, particularly cats.
Tinea capitis may involve only parts of the scalp, or all of it. Areas that are infected appear bald with small black dots, due to hair that has broken off.
You may have round, scaly areas of skin that are red or swollen (inflamed). You may also have pus-filled sores called kerions.
You may have a low-grade fever of around 100 - 101 °F or swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
There is almost always itching of the scalp.
Tinea capitis may cause hair loss and lasting scars.
Your health care provider will look at your scalp for signs of tinea capitis. A special lamp called a Wood's lamp test can help diagnose a fungal scalp infection.
The health care provider may swab the area and send it for a culture. It may take up to 3 weeks to get these results.
Rarely, a skin biopsy of the scalp will be done.
The health care provider will prescribe medicine you take by mouth to treat ringworm in the scalp.
Steps you can do at home include:
Other family members and pets should be examined and treated, if necessary.
Once the shampoo has been started:
No one in the home should share combs, hairbrushes, hats, towels, pillowcases, or helmets with other people.
It may be hard to get rid of tinea capitis. Also, the problem may come back after it is treated. In many cases it gets better on its own after puberty.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of tinea capitis. Home care is not enough to get rid of tinea capitis.

Well, I made up my mind and got the Droid 2 w/Verizon. Signed up yesterday.
I'm sure I would have loved the Droid X as well, but I really wanted the physical keyboard...I liked the slightly smaller screen (better for pockets I think) but really the screen is significantly bigger than the screen on my G1. I also liked the flush buttons on the front of the D2 opposed to the raised buttons on the X. The Droid X takes 720p video, but I don't take a lot of video to justify passing on the other features I prefered. D2's 480p video is fine. Plus I liked the overall look of the D2 a little better.
My contract with T-Mobile isn't up until Wednesday, but I signed with Verizon early and got a temporary number until I can switch my number over on Wednesday. I got it early because I wanted to test out the network where we live and test drive the phone for a few days...that way if something was drastically wrong with Verizon at our house or whatever, I could return everything and stay with T-Mobile for the time being.
So far, everything is outstanding. As expected, Verizon's 3G at our house (outside Edwardsville) is MUCH better than T-Mobile's. I've had a strong 3G signal (full bars) all over our house and around our property. I drove around today and didn't lose the 3G signal once. With T-Mobile I frequently lose 3G around the house and it isn't strong until I get into town...so in short, it sucks. Most of the time around the house I am on their Edge network, not 3G.
Before I went to the Verizon store to sign up, I called T-Mobile just to see what they would offer to retain me as a customer. They offered $50 off of the new HTC G2 Android phone...and that was it. I mentioned one of the main reasons I was switching was for the better network and 3G coverage around my house. The rep I talked to said T-Mobile's 3G network was faster than Verizon's. I almost drove off the road when I heard that because I thought there is no way...T-Mobile's 3G never seemed that fast to me...Verizon's had to be faster.
So after I got the D2, I did a 3G speed test on both while they are both still working.
T-Mobile (using the HTC G1):
Download: 656kbps
Upload: 368kbps
Verizon (using the Motorola Droid 2):
Download: 1778kbps
Upload: 846kbps
So yeah, the rep was just lying to me. The difference isn't even close really. Verizon had almost 3x faster download and over 2x as fast upload. I ran the test a few times and got similar numbers each time. After using the D2 for a couple hours, I expected numbers like this. The difference in speed is night and day. Granted, it's a much more powerful phone, but the downloads and web browsing were sooo much quicker.
Anyway, after a full day of use/testing, I'm extremely happy with the Droid 2. Great, great phone. It feels solid/well built and it has a little weight to it, which I like. The battery lasted over 24 hours and that was with some pretty heavy use...lots of app downloads and installs, messing with the wallpapers, camera, video, streamed XM radio for an hour or so, web browsing, a few calls, tons of overall tweaking/playing, etc. I imagine once I get the phone the way I want it and the usage levels off to a more normal level, I'll easily get a day and a half to two days use without a need to charge.
The Verizon sales rep offered to sell me accessories, which I turned down. They were selling chargers for $30 each...and a 3 pack of screen protectors for $15. I would get 25% off with my discount, but Amazon.com is a great resource for cheap cell phone accessories...and at much better prices even after my discount at Verizon. I just bought a Droid 2 docking station, a 5 pack of screen protectors (good ones), 3 mini usb to micro usb converters (so I can use my current mini-usb wall chargers & computer cables with the micro-usb Verizon phones), and two car chargers (with the smart chip that prevents overheating/overcharging), for $38 after shipping. That probably would have cost me over $125 at the Verizon store...maybe around $94 with my discount...before tax.
Anyway, if anyone is considering the Droid 2... it's fast, has a nice responsive touch screen, feels real solid and of course runs the best phone OS out there in Android and it's on a great network in Verizon.
The wife is anti-smart phone...she got an LG Cosmos. Which is actually a nice little phone with a slide out keyboard. It was free after mail-in rebate...so that was cool. And of course, that battery will last a week on standby...I wish smart phone batteries lasted that long. Someday...

Corona Indie Bundle Review

Read The Full Review »
Posts Tagged Corona Indie BundleCorona Indie Bundle Review+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPadFive games for the price of one? Surely a bargain? We delve into just why it is. Read The Full Review » Coming soon to the App Store is the Corona Indie Bundle, offering a selection of high quality indie games all in one inexpensive package priced at a mere $0.99. PC gamers have been fortunate to experience the powers of numerous indie developers put together through the likes of the Humble Indie Bundle. While the ethos behind the Corona Indie Bundle isn't quite the same, the benefit to players is similar while also helping up and coming indie developers. The hope presumably is that giving players a chance to check out so many games for a low price will then encourage them to follow the progress of each developer with their future titles. Suitably with a name like the Corona Indie Bundle, each game has been made using the Corona SDK, a pretty flexible development kit for the iOS platform. The games on offer are a varied bunch. In all, there are five: The Secret of Grisly Manor, Chickens Quest, Robot 99, Walkabout and Float. Usually priced at $1.99, The Secret of Grisly Manor was credited as a 'solid Myst clone' by Chris Hall when reviewed last year. It is indeed, offering slow burning yet compelling point and click adventuring. It comes from iOS and PC/Mac indie developers Fire Maple Games, known for the likes of Danger Cats! and Stunt Squirrels! along with a few casual games for the PC and Mac. $0.99 + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2010-10-11 :: Category: Games Chickens Quest from Gugu Games offers more cutesy fun in the form of some poor chicks in dire need of getting home in order to be reunited with their families once more. Aimed at the family gamer market, it's a pleasant change of pace from The Secret of Grisly Manor, no doubt ensuring that the Corona Indie Bundle appeals to a varied market. Chickens Quest is available on its own for $1.99. $0.99 + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2011-06-23 :: Category: Games Another family oriented title is that of Robot 99 from Fu-Design. A reasonably strong debut to the app store, Jordan quite enjoyed the title when he reviewed it earlier this month. What's not to like about guiding robots safely home? Unfortunately the game can get a bit confusing to keep track of on the iPad but overall it's a respectable title that some fun can be gained from. Walkabout reminds me of a simplistic Chip's Challenge with players having to navigate Queenie around the level in order to collect all the Magic Stars scattered around. 64 levels are available in all with each offering new and more compelling puzzles to keep the action feeling fresh. For those who get stuck, developers Base 2 has kindly offered a walkthrough on their site. Walkabout is usually priced at $0.99. Finally there's Float, a game that has the lofty ambition of solely wanting to make its players feel happy. The aim is simple: try to keep the balloons in the air and away from some nasty looking spikes. Praised for being particularly great fun for kids, Float looks like a charming yet simple title that's bound to offer relaxed fun. It's from appropriately named developers Elevate Entertainment, usually priced at $0.99. So that would normally be $7.95 for 5 games while with the Corona Indie Bundle, this bunch will be a mere $0.99. Sounds like a bargain to me and an ideal way to promote indie developers. Even better, it's been promised that if 100,000 downloads are achieved then another game will be unlocked making it even better value! It'll be out soon and we'll be sure to announce it when it does. |

- " We were traveling as two single American women in Cairo and felt totally safe and welcome at Wake Up. The staff were great and very helpful. We arrived and within 30 minutes Sherif helped us plan our entire stay in Egypt and made sure we hit all the important stuff and had an English speaking guide for all of it. The entrance to the hostel looks a little sketchy but once you get off the elevator it is a really laid back atmosphere and an awesome location near downtown and the museum. "

- " Fabulous location, gorgeous, spotless rooms and really nice staff who helped us with all our questions and more. I would definitely stay there again. The location was perfect! Very central and away from the hustle and bustle...very authentic for Cairo's experience! "

Investors bail out of stocks
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — U.S. stocks closed lower Wednesday, as disappointing earnings sparked a broad sell-off.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 1%, the S&P 500 lost 1.4% and the Nasdaq shed 1.8%.
CNNMoney's Fear & Greed Index slid back into 'fear' territory, with three of the seven indicators in 'extreme fear.' The index hasn't been this low since December, when worries about the fiscal cliff caused investors agita.
Meanwhile, the CBOE market volatility gauge, more commonly known as the VIX, spiked 25% to near 17. While that level is still relatively low, the big jump shows just how jittery investors are. The VIX shot up on Monday as well following the Boston terror attack.
Wall Street is in the throes of earnings season and this week's reports have been less than stellar.
"I don't think we got the sunshine that the rest of the Street was looking for across a wide swath of the companies reporting," said Kim Caughey Forest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group. "You get not-great news out there and it makes investors jittery."
Banks and techs spook investors. Bank of America was the biggest drag on the Dow, after it missed first-quarter earnings estimates, despite an uptick in revenue. Higher investment banking revenue was offset by lower mortgage banking income.
Other bank stocks followed Bank of America's lead, with shares of JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs all down more than 3%.
Meanwhile, a disappointing quarterly report from chip maker Cirrus Logic, a major Apple supplier, pushed Apple shares below $400 earlier in the day to a new 52-week low.
Shares of Yahoo lost ground, one day after the company reported lousy first-quarter sales and issued a downbeat outlook.
Intel shares bounced back after earlier losses, following the company reporting earnings and sales in line with expectations. The company reported another decline in chip sales for PCs, however, with revenue from that business falling 6% compared to a year earlier.
On the flipside, shares of toymaker Mattel shot up Wednesday after it reported that its first-quarter net profit more than quadrupled.
Fairway Group Holdings, the parent of Fairway Market, priced an initial public offering at $13 a share -- above its estimated range. Shares, which started trading Wednesday under the ticker FWM, rallied nearly 31%.
Both American Express and eBay reported earnings after the close that beat forecasts. But sales for each missed. Shares of eBay were down nearly 3% in after-hours trading. AmEx was down about 1%.
Jitters from Monday remain. It's only Wednesday and it's already been a rough week for investors. Weak economic news out of China and the Boston terror attack sparked one of the biggest one-day sell-offs of the year Monday.
A strong housing report led a big rebound Tuesday, but investors are still on edge.
Gold prices have also been part of the volatility story. On Monday, gold prices plunged to a two-year low in their biggest sell-off in decades. Gold was down slightly Wednesday after staging a modest recovery Tuesday.
European markets closed lower Wednesday, dropping for a fourth consecutive session, while Asian markets ended mixed. The Nikkei added 1.2%, while the Shanghai Composite and Hang Seng were little changed.
The dollar was higher versus the euro, the pound and the Japanese yen.
The price on the 10-year Treasury rose, pushing the yield down to 1.70%.

I added a few prints from the stash - I wanted a little more orange in there - and voila: a nice, fall mini-quilt/table-topper extraordinaire. I was originally going to do something fancy, but in the end, I ended up happy with the simplicity of these random 9-patches. I sashed the blocks with some Essex cotton/linen blend. I love the texture linen gives and the blend makes it a little easier to work with. (I always get my Essex cotton/linen from Canton Village Quilt Works.)
I did the quilting myself - hence the straight lines - but I really like how it turned out. I'm getting more confident in my quilting skills. Maybe yet another good reason to make more mini-quilts. I may even get up the courage to try some free-motion quilting, one of these days.
And there you go. As many of you know it's the Thanksgiving holiday here in the States. One of my favorite holidays of the year. We are having a lot of my family to my house for our Thanksgiving dinner. My husband is in charge of the Turkey again this year. Last year he tried Calli's brining method with total success. (I tried making my first turkey 2 years ago and lets just say it was not a total success.) With my mom bringing pies and my favorite stuffing, things are looking good for a delicious thanksgiving feast. A win-win for all.
I love this time of year to contemplate all that I have to be thankful for. And while I'm here, let me take this opportunity to thank you for visiting this blog and for all the kind comments and encouragement that you leave. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

5 Don't You Wish You Were This Good A Writer, Mick?JoblingA | 29/03/2011 | See all JoblingA's reviews (18)Now I'm not a massive Chris Jericho fan, but I bought this book since A Lion's Tale (which I also purchased) got such rave reviews and this one was garnering some pretty big hype. I knew the man had great ring skills and amazing mic skills and is an exceptionally gifted musician, but I never pictured Jericho being as good as writer as this.We all know Mick Foley has been called the "god of wrestling autobiographies" since he releases one just about every 3 year, but to be honest his first book didn't impress me nor did his 2nd (however I enjoyed the Hardcore Diaries). I recently read Bret Hart's Hitman and decided to give Jericho's book a go, I wasn't left disatisfied.Jericho has a very unique style of writing and is often comical, his stories are well put together and I enjoy every bit of them, he's funny, smart, charismatic and most of all a terrific storyteller. You'll find that Jericho loves to plug his own material, his 5-0 win streak over Mick Foley and feels the need to replace the word "cool" with "froot" and add "ski" to the end of every other word. The book is one of a kind and is easily one of the top wrestling autobiographies of all time.Whatever the price, it's a good book, if you like reading buy this, in one word: incredible.
4 Not as good as lions talethewestley | 10/03/2011 | See all thewestley's reviews (2)the book is good. its worth reading if you have any interest in wwe or Fozzy. i found that he doubted himself a lot more than he did in lions tale. Undisputed has some brilliant stories in it but it has the direct comparison to lions tale and just doesnt make the same grade. worth a read tho.
5 couldn't put it downjasedl | 05/07/2011 | See all jasedl's reviews (3)After reading a Lion's Tale and LOVING IT, I had to get this.I'm not a big book fan, just a Y2J fan, and I have to say, I blasted through this book. It was such a great read, funny, emotional, sincere, and if you're a wrestling fan who knows the Attitude Era of WWE then there's some great nostalgia in there too.Definitely for any wrestling fan. Can't wait for the 3rd book in a couple of years.

Shepherdstown, WV, United States
"Very, Very Good Jeeves"
P.G. Wodehouse is not for every mood. But, when you're in need of something truly, truly silly, funny, witty and outrageous, this author can't be beat. And this narrator does a wonderful job bringing Bertie, Jeeves, the Aunts, and all the twits to hilarious life. Good for a smile or a belly laugh, "Very Good, Jeeves" is good enough for me!
"A Valuable and Entertaining Overview"
This is a good example of what "The Great Courses" do best. There's a lot of information here, clearly and enthusiastically presented. These four religious figures are described in their historical context, religious and ethical significance, and influence on their and our contemporary worlds.
At the outset, the Professor remarks that it is his goal that the listener not be aware of his own religious leanings by the end of the set of lectures - and he delivers on this promise of objectivity. We may argue to ourselves that one or another of these religious icons stands above the others, but this course presents them - quite rightly - as equal, giant figures in the history of religion and thought.
I suppose it could be said that this is pretty basic stuff if you are already well versed in the lives and significance of these men and in the study of world religions. For most of us, however, it seems to me that this is a wonderful overview and well worth the time spent.
"Exploitative, Trite, and Badly Written"
If I could, I would have given this book minus ratings. If I dislike a book this much, I usually just either return it or decide not to review. But this time I think I should warn serious readers of psychological thrillers, dark mysteries, or romantic fiction.
The characters here are mere stereotypical ciphers, the dialog is trite and hokey. I could not believe that a woman writer could present women in such a way: there's the nagging scold, the grasping and icy social climber, the cowering battered wife - all without a trace of subtlety or insight. Men are manly men, total abusers, or not very interesting. And, heaven help us, there's even the chattering, gossipy, one-of-the-girls gay man! Seriously?
Add to this a nearly sickening and exploitative degree of graphic violence against women, child abuse, and utterly unimaginative and gratuitous sex scenes.
Even the "mystery" isn't all that good. It doesn't come as any surprise at all who the villain is.
Waste of time, money and/or credit. Skip it!
"Odd Choice for this Genre"
How strange is it to find yourself in the middle of a traditional Romance Novel wishing for fewer erotic moments. Well, this is a most unusual book, and that is what happens! Stick with me for a moment while I explain.
"Flowers from the Storm" (and where, oh where, does that inadequate title come from??) is very, very good in many ways. It's probably the best I've ever encountered at describing what it must be like to have a stroke and endure its effects. The confusion, frustration, anger, and helplessness of our hero are ours - his scrambled thoughts, feelings, attempts at language are conveyed to the reader/listener in an almost visceral way. It's extraordinary.
Then there's our heroine. Maddie's Quaker beliefs are really honored and explained here - not just shoved in to create contrasting life styles and views for our lovers. All characters, in fact, are wonderfully presented, from the Duke's family and friends to the Quakers to the attendants at the madhouse. There's a real talent here for filling the story with rich and full characters.
So, here's the dilemma: "Flowers" is full of serious, thoughtful, and interesting content. Yet, there's the necessity, in a Romance Novel, for the love scenes in some detail and eroticism. I'm not adverse to these scenes in traditional romances, but they do seem rather out of place here. I actually found myself wanting these diversions to go away and get us back to the real story of the Duke's struggles with his physical disabilities and the desperate need to communicate his mental competence. And Maddie's struggle with her efforts to help him and maintain her values of simplicity and honesty.
Books which present this subject matter so well are usually given credibility - I'm just afraid the book's genre category and the really dumb cover and title will keep its rightful audience away. Too bad!
Nicholas Boulton is a fantastic narrator - especially when conveying the Duke's point of view. It's harrowing to hear the raw confusion, fear, and frustration of a man accustomed to absolute power dealing with the inability to communicate - and we're with him every step of the way.
"More than Meatballs"
This seemed a no-brainer bargain buy - classically French trained, Ethiopian chef from Sweden who ended up in Harlem. Sounded fascinating, and so it turned out to be!
I'm neither great cook nor foodie, but I do watch Food Network shows in spare moments, and I've admired Samuelsson's point of view in his various contests and food shows. Turns out he's just as thoughtful and intelligent as he appears on TV.
Nothing is better than a memoir where the author actually has something to say - with honesty and humility. Sometimes our "American Dream" stories get glossed over, without revealing the price that almost always has to be paid for success in business. Samuelsson tells his own interesting life-so-far story without a lot of psychological self-analysis, but with awareness of his flaws - and with refreshing condor and lack of self pity. The people in his life ring true, and the reader/listener finds him/herself taking an interest in each one of them.
Must say I look forward to hearing what he has to say later on in his life. This is a memoir with a difference and well worth the time.
Now this is something fun and different from the venerable "Great Courses." I love them, but they tend to be considerably longer and more scholarly than "Language A to Z".
Not that Professor McWhorter doesn't know his stuff. He is a speaker who helps put the "great" in these courses! I've listened to more than one of his audios and really respect his knowledge and teaching ability.
Whether or not you are interested in linguistics, I would recommend listening to this course. It goes by in a minute (every lecture is only 15 of them!), and there's lots of pop culture references and interesting revelations about the origins of some of our strangest sayings.
This is a great highway listen - and an enjoyable way to learn something in 15 minutes!
"A Welcome Earlier View of an Old Friend"
Thank you, Charles Todd for this wonderful gift! It's a glimpse of the strong, confident, happy Ian Rutledge we know must have existed before the ravages of war.
Ian is planning his marriage to the young and self-absorbed Jean while becoming more and more involved in an unusual case. The perpetrator is diabolical, and Ian must convince himself and others in law enforcement that his suspicions are real. There's a lot of darting about the countryside and putting together clues from churchyards and archives, but the story emerges in a most intriguing way. Inspector Bowles is just as contrary and vindictive as he will later be, and we get glimpses of Ian's sister and aunt in earlier, more carefree days.
There is, however, another 'villain' in this piece. Just as menacing as any criminal, WWI is relentlessly in the background. Friends and colleagues are already marching off with enthusiasm to serve their country, and the knowledge that Ian Rutledge will soon follow - and will pay dearly - is painful to the listener/reader . It all makes for a bittersweet experience but one which this series fan really appreciates!
"An Excess of Story Lines"
I listened to the first three books in this series pretty quickly and enjoyed the writing and the characters. Simon Serrailler and his family are full of surprises and offer real depth to the works. In this book, the family dynamic changes considerably, setting up lots of possibilities for future revelations.
"The Risk of Darkness", I think, has at least one two many plotlines - one in particular could easily have been eliminated altogether without damaging the overall story. Hill is a very serious writer - the gloom factor is pretty high, even for readers who don't much care for a lot of humor in mysteries. In this listen, it's a bit of overkill.
This was satisfying in that some questions from earlier books are answered. So, despite being a bit less impressed by this addition to the series, I am willing to continue to the 4th book - but I need a little break before the plunge.
Steven Pacey is one of the main reasons for pursuing the Simon Serrailler series - his narration is fantastic.
"Reversed Gothic with a modern, Aussie touch"
A recent piece in the New York Times Book Review crime section led me to this book. Who could resist an Aussie modern Gothic Suspense/Romance with a reversal of characters?
It's all there - the old mansion, dark hallways with locked doors; there's even an attic full of secrets! But, in "Sweet Damage", the brooding resident is a young woman, and the 'innocent' who happens into situation is a surfer dude!
The setting is modern-day Sydney, the characters have updated issues and phobias, and the romance is a bit hotter than in most traditional Gothic novels. The twists and turns of plot and the surprises keep you listening and are a lot of fun to follow. Dense characters are revealed slowly, and that old sense of suspense, menace, and unanswered questions remains until the end.
Craig Baldwin has a slight accent - the American reader can easily understand him, but there's an appropriate hint of Australia in his voice.
I liked this a lot.
"A New - and unusual - Favorite Series"
After reading the first book in this series, I had a few reservations. This second entry pretty much resolved all that.
The main character, Simon Serrailler, is much more in evidence here. He turns out to be a complex and interesting personality - frustratingly reserved, uncommunicative and distant; but, at the same time, a caring boss, brother, uncle and son. He and the other characters keep you interested, and the plot is an involving one.
Some reviewers have noted that the resolutions of Susan Hill's plot lines are not very satisfying for many mystery fans. I'd say that her characters and the police actions in the books may rather reflect much of the true nature of police investigations and human motives.
Steven Pacey, like all the best narrators, isn't a distracting performer. Instead, he just quietly personifies all the characters and delivers a natural and comfortable reading. Hard to beat that!
"Haunting Indeed"
I'm pleased to find this series. Unusual, yes, unexpected, yes. But, from what's in "The Various Haunts of Men," it seems to me that Susan Hill can take her place among the elite of mystery writers. There's nothing cozy or formula about this story, but it's thoughtful, serious about human nature, and it feels true. I was truly hooked and moved by the characters and the emotion of the story.
Other reviews have mentioned the relatively short amount of time actually devoted to the man who is supposedly the "hero" of this series, Simon Serrailler. Let's just say that this book is enough to keep me moving forward in the series to find out more. And I'm happy to be doing so with this wonderful narrator, Steven Pacey.

Made with solid cedar, this 8' x 12' x 20" garden provides approximately 65 square feet of planting space, and is perfect for a family of six.
If you want to grow your own organic vegetables, but you're busy and don't have the patience to deal with pests eating your plants or don't have the time to water it every day, this complete system may be perfect for you. The innovative design removes many of the irritating problems gardening can have.
Features & Benefits:
- Rabbit-proof – fence sections are 34 inches high and backed with black mesh. The Gate is black mesh over wire grid for strength. Comes pre-assembled. If you have problems with woodchucks, we have had one report where the woodchuck jumped 4-feet up and into the garden, so check with your neighbors first.
- Tall beds – 20" tall beds mean you don't have to bend down as far, and the soil will retain more moisture than shorter beds. Plus, you can grow larger plants with deeper roots. No liner needed.
- High quality 5/4"-thick cedar — Thick red cedar lumber that is naturally rot resistant and ideal for damp environments.
- Built-in Trellis – peas, beans and flowers can climb the sturdy 5'8" tall trellis at the end of the bed.
- High-quality Fasteners – Included are rust-proof ceramic coated screws.
- Automatic watering system – and timer waters your garden for you. Comes with soaker hose, automatic timer, and sprayer.
Built-in Trellis:
These beds come with a 5'8" high trellis at the end of the bed. As well, the mesh that is affixed to the side fencing panels is also good for trellising. You'll increase your growing space by allowing plants to grow vertically. Peas, green beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes grow beautifully with the aid of the trellis.
Optional Automatic Watering System:
Located at the back corner of the garden, an automatic soaker hose watering system takes even the simplest of duties out of your hands. A garden hose can be connected to the unit, or the hose adaptor can be removed so the watering unit can be tied into your existing watering system with piping. We use a digital battery operated controller, manufactured by DIG Corporation, that is very easy to use. You'll never need to worry about watering your garden - it takes care of itself. Included is
- Soaker hose - lay this around your plantings, and cover with a layer of mulch to water efficiently.
- Coiled garden hose - stores neatly on a hook, and can reach any part of the garden.
- Garden sprayer - attach to end of the hose to water your plants gently. You can manually spray your plants if you choose to or use the hose to wash your hands.
You can set them up yourself, or have a local handy person follow the instructions and set it up for you. Assembly can take up to 4 hours, and adding the dirt (3.8 cubic yards) can take an additional few hours. Note that no digging is required – the entire structure sits on your lawn.
All of our fencing sections are approximately 34" high and are backed with black plastic mesh. We use an air compressor staple gun and hundreds of tiny staples to securely fasten the mesh to the lumber. When the fencing is delivered, the mesh is already affixed. So, it takes only minutes to attach the fencing sections to the garden beds. The mesh will keep out dogs and rabbits. Up close, it looks attractive, but from a distance you can't even see it.

Questions about the Cedar Complete Raised Garden Bed Kit - 8' x 12' x 20"
3 Item(s)
- From Maureen at 1/2/11 3:30 PM
- We are interested in purchasing a Redwood Complete Raised Garden Bed Kit, however we have deer and a lot of wind. Do you have any suggestion on how to deal with these problems. We are not allowed to put up a deer fence around our property, but we might be able to but screening around/attached to the garden bed. And is there screening that would block or reduce the wind, and allow the sunlight to come in?
- Deer fencing is commonly sold in farm-supply stores, and hardware stores. It comes on a roll, and can be either 4' or 8' wide, and as long as you like. It's a very thin black mesh, with each square measuring about one inch by one inch. It's also very inexpensive - a 60' long section might only cost you $30.
The great thing about this deer fencing is it lets the sun through just fine and it doesn't obscure your view. In fact, because it's thin and black, it's almost invisible when its up. The wind will blow right through it without a problem.
You may have to run a thin white line/cord through the top of the mesh fence to show the deer that the fence is there. If it's really dark at night in your area, the deer might not see the fence. I've used this in my garden and it's kept the deer out.
We can customize your bed with taller corner posts so that all you need to do is wrap the mesh around. We can also install extra fencing panels on the bed in case you'd rather not bother with the mesh.
Just give us a call today and we can explain the options in more detail! - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Robin Orth at 11/15/12 10:02 AM
- What would I need to do to prepare the ground where this is to set. Also, we have alot of rabbits. Will this system keep them out.
Thank you,
Robin - The Cedar Complete Raised Garden Bed Kit can be set on the ground without having to prepare the ground beneath the beds, since the 20" soil depth of the raised beds is sufficient for growing just about any vegetable crop. However, there are benefits to digging the ground before you assemble the kit, since some of the roots of your vegetables will access the deeper soil for available nutrients. Also, pre-digging the subsoil gives you a chance to remove any large rocks or debris which may impede root growth or drainage.
In our raised bed garden, we dig down about 12 - 16" to break up the soil, clear it of rocks, and add some amendments such as lime and rock phosphate before constructing any new beds. The bulk of the amendments, such as compost, peat and fertilizer are top-dressed, i.e., added once the bed is nearly full. We wait until almost planting time before adding these valuable amandments.
This raised bed kit is designed with rabbit-proof fencing, so the rabbits should not be a problem. - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

Love These!
I ordered these pants in March and wore them to church Easter Sunday with your gold-button blouse. I have worn them since and always get complements. I love the comfort but dressy look and think i could wear them to some evening functions as well. I ordered the 12, and they are true-to-size. Thanks, Chadwicks!

In preparing their national communications and GHG inventories, Annex I Parties must follow reporting guidelines. These guidelines have now been revised twice, at COP 2 (Geneva, July 1996) for the preparation of the second round of communications, and again at COP 5 (Bonn, October/November 1999), where revised reporting guidelines were adopted for the preparation of third national communications. The same guidelines were used for the preparation of the fourth and fifth national communications that were due by 1 January 2010.
Current guidelines for the preparation of national communications of Annex I Parties (pages 80—100 of the English version, FCCC/CP/1999/7 (391 kB) )
To facilitate a process for Annex I Parties to officially submit their annual inventory submissions under the Convention and supplementary information required under Article 7, paragraph 1, of the Kyoto Protocol, and national communications, the UNFCCC secretariat has created a simple and user-friendly web-based interface called the "UNFCCC Submission Portal". The portal allows Annex I Parties to easily and securely upload the required submissions. The portal also allows Parties to view the status of the submissions made using the system.
Integrated with the secretariat's internal processes for receiving and processing submissions, the system will progressively replace the various submission channels used in the past.
The UNFCCC Submission Portal is available to Annex I Parties and fully operational as of 16 February 2009.
Questions relating to the use of the submission portal should be addressed to: email@example.com .
