I restored my titanium backup of apps and system from stock rooted rom and everything was 100% how I had it before flashing and working! The rom has an app on market called "Kitchen Pro" which allows easily flashing various MODS, I flashed abyssNote kernel and used setCPU to set my CPU to 1.6GHZ (1.7GHZ had freezing without voltage tweaks).

BH T4 Pro Treadmill Review
treadmill Doctor Note :
If you bought one of these don't keep reading. Just click the back button on your mouse and go to another part of the website and it'll be OK.
When you look at the machine individually, it isn't a bad effort. When you look at this machine when compared with the market you realize how woefully short this one falls.
The BH T4 Pro is a decent treadmill. Unfortunately, at $1,899, it doesn't stand up to the competition. This high of a cost will get you a much better quality machine. We'd take a look at NordicTrack if this is the price range you've set for yourself.
The walking area is a good size. The belt measures in at 20" x 55". This is a good 5" shorter than the standard 20" x 60" walking belt that is found on many of today's treadmills. This should still provide enough room for larger users to run on comfortably without altering their stride.
A nice motor powers this machine. It's rare to find a cheaper treadmill with greater power producing capabilities. Speeds of up to 12 mph are attainable, so even experienced runners should have no problem challenging themselves.
A good cushioning system comes on this model. Active Flex Suspension is used along with an Ortho Cushion belt to reduce the impact that running has on your joints and back. A few less expensive treadmills have a more forgiving or durable running surface, but they are only better by a marginal amount. Keep in mind that orthopedic belts are taxing on the components.
As far as projected reliability is concerned, this machine is extremely disappointing. You could spend less than $1,000 and get a treadmill with a longer life expectancy than this one has. The quality of parts used is also very poor considering the $1,899 price tag.
The warranty on the BH T4 Pro is good. Labor is covered for 1 year, parts are covered for 10 years, and the motor and frame are covered for life. This is the kind of warranty that makes you consider taking a chance on a treadmill, but we still don't recommend buying this model without a huge discount.

SOME cultures have unfamiliar practices when it comes to using the loo. We understand that, and it's OK.
But the instructions probably don't need to be provided in THIS much detail.
A Subway restaurant in the United States went a little overboard while trying to help people understand how to empty their bowels in a clean manner.
The word "YES" accompanied a man in a seated position, the photo below, published on photo-sharing site imgur, shows.
A man failing to do his business in an adequate manner comes with the word "NO". Honestly, we don't think anyone would go to the loo quite like this. Would they?
Sadly, when you take a look around the internet there are alternative instructions that are even worse. Come on, it's not that difficult.

text: It was reported on March 21, 2012 that the Londonderry, NH Chief Kevin MacCaffrie put a temporary freeze on brush fire permits. Having s low amount of snow on the ground this season combined with all the pine needles, dry leaves, brush and branches brought down by previous nor'easter make for higher cause for alarm. Be very careful with residential brush fires. It is much safer to rent an open top dumpster and have your brush safely hauled away.

A free law publication charity will publish the UK's 3,000 most
important legal decisions freely for the first time by June. The
project will involve publishing vital rulings, dating back to the
nineteenth century, on which UK common law is based.20 Mar 2008
English law and Scots law are based on acts passed by Parliament and by decisions made by courts which other courts must follow, which is called common law. But many of the rulings which make up the body of common law across the UK are very old and only published by commercial law publishers.
BAILII (the British And Irish Legal Information Institute) has said, though, that it will publish nearly 3,000 of the most important rulings, as chosen by academics, for free by this summer.
BAILII executive director Joe Ury told technology law podcast OUT-LAW Radio that the copyright in judgments dating back into the nineteenth century is disputed, and that often the only records of them are those published by commercial publishers, who claim that they own the rights in the rulings.
"What we have now is various publishers and transcribers claiming copyright interest in the bulk of judgments that go back into the nineteenth century," said Ury.
To provide access to these documents BAILII founded the Open Law Project with support from academic computing funding body the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC).
"We felt that if any judgments should be freed so that the public can have access to them it should be this core of judgments, which basically make up the judgment side of the common law system," said Ury. "It seems natural that a member of the public should be able to find out what that reasoning is, it shouldn't be cloaked in secrecy."
The project approached academics at universities all over the UK and asked them to list the most important rulings in their area of expertise. It then sought permission to publish those rulings one by one.
"It's been a long slog," said Ury. He said that the project was returned a list of 2,600 judgments, and that it has now published 1,900 of those. He said that in total it will publish 2,900 verdicts by June of this year when the project ends.
"These are considered to be the most important judgments in these areas of law," said Ury.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Jimmie Johnson won't be able to see Brad Keselowski when he takes the green flag for Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Martinsville Speedway.
But the five-time champion hopes to have Keselowski, the Chase for the Sprint Cup leader, squarely in his sights early in the 500-lap race.
Johnson, who trails Keselowski by seven points in the Chase standings, will start on the pole. Keselowski will start 15 rows behind him, in 32nd position after a poor qualifying run on Friday.
Johnson hopes to be on Keselowski's rear bumper in a hurry. He hopes to catch him quickly on the tight, half-mile track and put him a lap down.
"If you can get any Chaser a lap down, and then put them in the situation where they're not the Lucky Dog, (that) would be fantastic," Johnson said. "So that will definitely be a priority.
— Pressure is on Keselowski | Martinsville qualifying | Starting grid | Chase standings
"I'm not going to do anything stupid, Lap 5, that would affect the outcome of the race to try to make that happen. But if we can, I'll definitely be smiling in the racecar if that is the situation."
Despite a crash last week at Kansas that could have severely damaged his championship hopes, Johnson still carries an aggressive approach into Sunday's race and the rest of the Chase.
Having won five Sprint Cup championships, he knows what it takes to win. With just four races remaining, it's no time to be conservative.
"Everybody makes mistakes (but) I would rather side on the aggressive side because I know what my competition is," Johnson said. "I know the No. 2 car (Keselowski) is certainly racing that way and Denny (Hamlin) is as well.
"You've got to stay aggressive. You can't protect and you can't conserve at this stage. It's all about living on that ragged edge."
Johnson nearly crossed that line at Kansas and toppled over the edge. He wrecked while trying to make an aggressive pass on Martin Truex Jr. The crash damaged his car, but his Hendrick Motorsports crew did a remarkable job making quick repairs on pit road without Johnson losing a lap.
He rallied to finish ninth — just one spot behind Keselowski to remain just seven points behind in the standings.
— HURRICANE SANDY: Sprint Cup likely will escape storm; other sports not as lucky
Johnson says he will continue to make such moves, but says there is a fine line between being aggressive and too aggressive.
"It's such a fine line we walk and it's hard to look at yourself in the middle of a race and say, 'All right, am I at 100 percent or 101, 99?' The line is getting ever smaller.
"… There's just little tiny things that add up and it's hard in the moment to recognize that. But, that's something that we're all faced with and something I've done a very nice job with in years past."
Keselowski, who has five wins and has finished in the top 10 in 14 of his past 16 races to take the points lead, plans to remain aggressive, despite dodging his own share of bullets last week.
He finished eighth at Kansas despite starting 25th. His poor qualifying run Friday marked the fourth consecutive race in which he has qualified 20th or worse.
"Well I can tell you I don't enjoy qualifying poorly," he said Friday. "That's not what I come to the racetrack to do but it's been the course as of late.
"(But) you take solace in the fact that the part that matters, the actual racing, my team has done a great job preparing excellent cars and executing on all levels. You try to focus on what you have that's going right, and that's what we have that's going right."
Johnson would appear to have a big advantage at Martinsville, where he has six career victories — four in the fall Chase race. Hamlin, who is third in the standings, 20 points back, has four wins at Martinsville.
Keselowski scored his best finish at the tough short track in April, when he finished ninth.
An opportunity to win again at Martinsville and possibly gain ground on Keselowski, or even take over the points lead, fits right into Johnson's aggressive strategy.
"We're at a great track (for us)," he said. "I feel like at all four tracks remaining, we're one of the favorites to win.
"I feel like you have to win and you have to win during the Chase to be the champion. It certainly can be won without (winning), but my mindset right now is win, win, win."

text: OK, I'm coming into this thread a bit late, but I see that many of the defchararray.chararray docstrings are still at "Being Written" (which is better than "Needs Editing," where a couple still are) but they should all be at "Needs Review," yes? I'm happy to do this, Mike, but if you'd like the "practice" using the doc wiki, what I'd recommend is: 0) login to the wiki and, as suggested by Ralf, go to the list of all docstrings, http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/docs/ (accessible via the Docstrings link atop every wiki page); 1) scroll (way) down to the light gray background "Being written" docstrings and look for the defchararray.chararray docstring links (I count 23 of them; 'twas 24, but I promoted one while writing this out to verify these instructions); :-) 2) click on 'em one at a time (you'll probably want to open them in a new tab or window, so you don't have to keep going back to the docstring page); if you get "bored," let me know and I'll finish 'em off; 3) look for the gray box on the right which says "Review status:" and then in a drop-down has "Being written" in it, and a "Change" button next to that (if you don't see the Change button, you're not logged-in); 4) click on the drop-down triangle to expose the other status options, one of which should be "Needs review" (which should be in black font, assuming you have successfully been granted the privilege to execute this promotion; if not, it will be in gray font) and click on that; 5) then click the Change button and the Review status box should change to pink; 6) you're done! (with one docstring; if you wish to verify that the change "took," reload the "all docstrings" page and visually confirm that the docstring you just promoted is no longer in the "Being written" section and is now in fact in the "Needs review" section). HTH; again, I'm happy to do this once you get bored, just let me know via email (off-list is fine).

First-quarter revenues at General Dynamics's aerospace division, which includes Gulfstream Aerospace and Jet Aviation, climbed by 20 percent from a year ago, to $1.62 billion, while segment profits ascended 17.8 percent to $271 million.
"This healthy top-line growth was driven by more large-cabin deliveries [at Gulfstream], including G650s and continued growth in aircraft service demand," General Dynamics chairman and CEO Jay Johnson said yesterday. Backlog at the division fell from $17.91 billion at the end of last year to just less than $17 billion as of March 31 partially because of a few G650 cancellations, which Johnson said were "in line with our expectations," and a widebody completions cancellation at Jet Aviation attributable to the death of the customer.
Gulfstream delivered 28 green aircraft (26 large-cabin and two midsize) versus 24 last year (20 large, four midsize). While the book-to-bill ratio was 0.7, meaning deliveries outpaced sales during the quarter, Johnson said Gulfstream's order intake is still good, with "improved interest" being seen for the super-midsize G280, and the G450/G550 backlog remaining in the "sweet spot" of 12 to 18 months. Johnson predicted 15-percent growth at the aerospace unit through the rest of the year.

I accidentally let this steep for ~15 minutes so there's quite a punch of ginseng with an aftertaste of oolong.
I just wanted to let anybody know that if you do like your ginseng-oolong teas heavy on the ginseng, try steeping this one longer!

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [LH] July 7, 2010 Legendary Angler-Artist to be Featured at July Event at TFFC ATHENS--Professional angler and artist Judy Wong of Many, Louisiana, will be a featured exhibitor at the Art's Better Outside show and Wildlife Forever State-Fish Art Contest national expo at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center July 17. She will show and sell her wildlife art and demonstrate fishing techniques. Wong is an accomplished angler with a long record of tournament wins on the Bassn' Gal Tour, the Women's Bass Fishing Association circuit and the Women's Bassmaster Tour. She won the Women's Bassmaster Tour championship in 2007 and 2009. She is a professional bass fishing guide and guided on Fayette County Lake before moving to her new home on Toledo Bend Reservoir. She is also a wildlife artist and donated artwork to the fundraising effort to build the Richard M. Hart and Johnny Morris Conservation Center in Athens. In 2008, following her WBT championship win, Wong was invited to the White House to be recognized by President George W. Bush for her angling achievements. "As a member of the Toledo Bend Lake Association, I was chosen to be the 2008 BASS Unlimited poster artist, creating an original acrylic painting and 250 limited edition posters," Wong said. "I presented a framed poster, along with my signature series titanium American Rodsmiths rod, a Quantum Tour Edition reel and some hand-selected Gary Yamamoto baits, to President Bush when I made my trip to the White House." Wong regards her trip to the White House as the highlight of her angling career, but she says her most memorable and rewarding experience was going to Germany with fellow anglers Gary Yamamoto and Roland Martin to visit deploying and returning military service men and women. "That was so emotional!" Wong said. "It was one of my proudest experiences, to be able to thank these soldiers who lay their lives on the line for our freedom." Recently Wong was notified of her induction into the Legends of the Outdoors National Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee. She joins a long list of outdoor legends such as Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops; professional anglers Bill Dance, Hank Parker, Gary Yamamoto, Shaw Grigsby, Jimmy Houston, Roland Martin and Kathy Magers; BASS founder Ray Scott; businessmen Toxey Haas and Forrest Wood; and outdoor TV host Wade Bourne. Also to be inducted with Wong are Charlie Ingram, Peggy Vallery, Dick Cabela, Mary Cabela, and Jack Minor (posthumously). In addition, Ducks Unlimited will be recognized as the 2010 American Outdoor Organization of the Year. "Some people consider me a legend, but I consider myself just 'a woman who loves to fish,'" Wong said. "I would love to see every child get the opportunity to experience the joys of the outdoors, whether it be fishing, hunting, camping or whatever outdoor pursuit. "I love the outdoors and have been very fortunate to pursue my dreams and make a career out of fishing," Wong continued. "My fishing has allowed me to travel all over the country and to different parts of the world such as Portugal, Spain, Germany and South Africa. My travels have always been memorable, but the people I have met along the way--the men, women and children who love to fish as much as I do--are the ones that have touched my life the most." Wong was born in San Francisco, California, but moved to Houston, Texas, at age two. "My dad took me fishing at an early age, catching bluegills, catfish and anything that swam," Wong recalled. "I fell in love with fishing and being outdoors." Wong said being a role model for young girls and boys is her most important responsibility. "They are the future of our sport, and it is with pride and passion that I help elevate this sport and pass it on to the next generation," she said. At the July 17 event at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center Wong will be joined by Texas State Artist Sam Caldwell and a number of other artists. Student artists from across the nation will be at TFFC to receive awards for winning their state fish-art contests. Winners of the Best of Show and Art of Conservation Stamp Awards will be announced, and visitors will vote for the People's Choice Award. The expo is sponsored by Wildlife Forever and the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center. The State-Fish Art Contest is an annual national competition for students in grades four through 12 and aims to involve young people in conservation through art. --- On the Net: http://www.wildlifeforever.org http://tpwd.texas.gov/tffc http://www.judywong.net http://www.legendsoftheoutdoors.com -30- [ Note: This item is more than seven years old. Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [ Additional Contacts: Louie Bond, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8706 ] July 7, 2010 July Issue of TP&W Magazine Explores Why Water Matters in Texas Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine's ninth annual water issue is on the newsstand now and is a useful resource to engage readers with current water issues that affect their lives. The issue "Why Water Matters" provides useful background information for reporters on environment, outdoors and region beats, and it features stories that could prompt editorial opinion pieces about water issues in Texas. The full text of the issue is also available on the magazine's Web site. Between years of drought and years punctuated with flash floods, Texans' relationship with water reflects both the vital necessity of water and its destructive potential. For nine years, TP&W magazine has examined this relationship in a series of annual issues devoted to pressing water resource issues that face Texans. This includes covering major trends, ways people can conserve water and efforts to plan water use and balance the needs of people, industry, agriculture and the environment. TP&W magazine Editor Louie Bond said the stories in this issue serve as a reminder to readers that access to clean water is not guaranteed. "It's a great reminder that we take water and the accompanying wildlife for granted until something happens," she said. "It's a good wake-up call and a call for us to start working before disaster strikes." Larry D. Hodge's story "Blue Dawn" speaks to an issue that affects Texans across the state – water management and responsible water usage. Hodge describes TPWD's efforts to restore the state's watersheds and discusses the need for Texans to act as stewards on their land to ensure the ongoing viability of watersheds and availability of clean water. Of particular interest to readers in Central Texas is Wendee Holtcamp's "Saving Land, Saving Water," a story about Texans protecting the Edwards Aquifer recharge zones. Holtcamp details her journey through the land that makes up the Edwards Plateau and recounts the history of how San Antonio residents, and Austin residents through a similar program, have raised money to buy land and have worked to preserve land in the recharge zones that are essential for maintaining water supply in their regions. Readers in the greater Houston-Galveston and other coastal areas will find valuable information in Carol Flake Chapman's "High Tide," a story about the rising sea levels off the Texas coast. Recently, tide gauges have begun to show that sea levels are rising at twice the rate as they did a decade ago. The story details various scientists' analyses regarding the cause of sea-level rise and it describes the steps scientists and the state are taking to protect residents and wildlife from its effects. This issue also features a story by Mary O. Parker called "Life is but a Stream" about the wildlife that inhabits urban streams behind places such as shopping centers and the effect that urban development has on these waterways. Bond notes these urban creeks are often where children have their first encounters with wildlife. In addition to informative stories, TP&W magazine's "Why Water Matters" also features a series of stunning photos that illustrate the vital role water plays in the lives of Texans. For reporters interested in covering of any of the subjects featured in "Why Water Matters," TPWD can provide experts who can elaborate on the topics. Complimentary copies of the "Why Water Matters" special magazine issue are also available to news media upon request. The special magazine issue is part of a broader Texas Parks and Wildlife Department public information initiative begun with the first special water resource magazine issue in July 2002. The initiative also includes video, radio, Web and other components. The "Why Water Matters" July special issue of TP&W magazine can be found on newsstands across Texas.

Woody Allen's new film, a romantic comedy that was filmed in Paris, will open the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. On May 11th, the same day that the new movie opens in theaters across France, the film will usher in the 64th edition of the Festival de Cannes.
Midnight in Paris, Allen's 41st feature film, stars Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams and Marion Cotillard. It also features Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Gad Elmaleh, Léa Seydoux and France's first lady Carly Bruni-Sarkozy.
Cannes Festival director Thierry Frémaux called Woody Allen's new movie, "a wonderful love letter to Paris," in a statement, adding, "It's a film in which Woody Allen takes a deeper look at the issues raised in his last films: our relationship with history, art, pleasure and life."
With Woody Allen's film opening in some 400 theaters across France on May 11th, the festival and partner Canal+ will make the event's opening ceremony available to theaters around the country.
The 2001 Cannes Film Festival will run through May 22, 2011 in the South of France.

As of Tuesday, Nov. 12 the ministry partnership between Georgetown College and the Kentucky Baptist Convention (KBC) will terminate.
Though the covenant relationship between the college and the KBC concluded in 2009, the 176th Annual Meeting of the KBC saw the adoption of the recommendation to end remaining ties. This tie was a ministry partnership, partly composed of an agreement establishing joint funding of the GC campus minister.
The KBC ended the recommendation, "We appreciate the Baptist foundation of Georgetown College and offer our prayers for their endeavors to serve Christ and His Kingdom."
Though the recommendation was originally submitted prior to the 2012 Annual Meeting, action was postponed to accommodate the departure of former GC President Dr. Crouch.

Approves a device update rule that has been imported to the system. After a device update rule has been approved, the corresponding update will automatically be downloaded and installed by client devices affected by the update.
Microsoft Lync Server 2010 uses device update rules as a way to provide firmware updates to devices that run Lync 2010 Phone Edition. Periodically, administrators upload a set of device update rules to Lync Server 2010; after those rules have been tested and approved, they are automatically downloaded and applied to the appropriate devices as those devices connect to the system. By default, devices check for new update rules each time they turn on and connect to Lync Server 2010. Devices also check for updates every 24 hours after that initial sign on.
Each new device update rule added to the system is marked as "Pending." That means that the update will be downloaded and installed by the appropriate test devices; however, it will not be downloaded and installed by client devices in general. This gives you an opportunity to test the updates and ensure that there are no adverse effects before you make this update widely available. As soon as you are convinced that the update has passed your tests and will work for your organization, you can then use the Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule to approve the update.
When you approve an update, the PendingVersion of the associated update rule is assigned to the ApprovedVersion, and the PendingVersion property is cleared. For example, suppose the PendingVersion of a new update rule is version 126.96.36.199. After you run Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule, the PendingVersion will be set to a null value, and the ApprovedVersion will be set to 220.127.116.11. The next time a client device logs on, the device will automatically check to see if there are any newly-approved updates applicable for that device. If so, the update will automatically be downloaded and installed.
Who can run this cmdlet: By default, members of the following groups are authorized to run the Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule cmdlet locally: RTCUniversalServerAdmins. To return a list of all the role-based access control (RBAC) roles this cmdlet has been assigned to (including any custom RBAC roles you have created yourself), run the following command from the Windows PowerShell prompt:
Get-CsAdminRole | Where-Object {$_.Cmdlets –match "Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule"}
Unique identifier for the device update rule being approved. The Identity for a device update rule consists of two parts: the service where the device update rule has been assigned (for example, service:WebServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com) and a globally unique identifier (GUID). Consequently, a device update rule configured for the Redmond site will have an Identity similar to this: service:WebServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com /d5ce3c10-2588-420a-82ac-dc2d9b1222ff9.
DeviceUpdate.Rule object
Allows you to pass a reference to an object to the cmdlet rather than set individual parameter values.
Switch Parameter
Suppresses the display of any non-fatal error message that might occur when running the command.
Switch Parameter
Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.
Switch Parameter
Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.
Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.DeviceUpdate.DeviceUpdate.Rule object. Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule accepts pipelined instances of the device update rule object.
None. Instead, Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule approves instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.DeviceUpdate.DeviceUpdate.Rule object.
-------------------------- Example 1 ------------------------
Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule -Identity service:WebServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com/d5ce3c10-2588-420a-82ac-dc2d9b1222ff9
The command shown in Example 1 approves the device update rule d5ce3c10-2588-420a-82ac-dc2d9b1222ff9 found on the service WebServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com.
-------------------------- Example 2 ------------------------
Get-CsDeviceUpdateRule -Filter service:WebServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com* | Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule
The preceding command approves all the device update rules that have been configured for the service WebServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com. To do this, the command first calls Get-CsDeviceUpdateRule along with the Filter parameter; the filter value "service:WebServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com*" ensures that only those rules that have an Identity that begins with the string value "service:WebServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com" will be returned. (By definition, these are all the device update rules that have been assigned to the service WebServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com.) This filtered collection is then piped to the Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule cmdlet, which approves each rule in the collection.
-------------------------- Example 3 ------------------------
Get-CsDeviceUpdateRule | Where-Object {$_.Brand -eq "LG-Nortel"} | Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule
The command shown in Example 3 approves all the device update rules for the specified brand (LG-Nortel). To do this, the command first calls Get-CsDeviceUpdateRule to return a collection of all the device update rules currently in use in the organization. This collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which picks out only those rules where the Brand property is equal to LG-Nortel. The filtered collection is then piped to Approve-CsDeviceUpdateRule, which approves each rule in the collection.

Lorrie Moore emerged in the late twentieth century as a strong new voice in American fiction. Born Marie Lorena Moore, she was later nicknamed Lorrie by her parents, Henry T. Moore, Jr., an insurance executive, and Jeanne Day Moore, who left a career in nursing to become a homemaker. As students, both parents had demonstrated literary aspirations; her father wrote short stories while a classmate of Evan S. Connell and Vincent Canby at Dartmouth College. However, Moore was not encouraged by her parents to pursue writing as a career, even though she displayed an early interest in creative writing.
As an undergraduate at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, she chose English as her major—despite her enthusiasm for playing the piano—and was editor of the literary journal. When she was nineteen years old, Moore won Seventeen magazine's fiction-writing contest for her short story "Raspberries." She graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1978 and worked as a paralegal in Manhattan for two years before entering the M.F.A. program at Cornell University.
At Cornell, she studied with novelist Alison Lurie, whose agent presented Moore's work to the Knopf publishing company in 1983. Two years later, Knopf published Moore's first collection of short fiction, Self-Help. The stories, most of which were written as part of her master's thesis at Cornell, mimic the style of self-improvement manuals of the day. "How to Become a Writer" ostensibly is pitched to budding authors, encouraging them first to consider abandoning their literary ambitions. The disjointed narrative of "How to Be an Other Woman" relates the shifting identity of a woman narrator who becomes involved romantically with a married man and discovers that she is not the only "other woman" in the arrangement. Notably, Moore's use of second-person point of view in Self-Help represents an experiment with perspective that continues throughout the body of her work....

Neil Lee's MWESB firm sees PCC walk the walk on bond
Contributed Story
Neil Lee, principal architect of LEEKA Architecture and Planning, admits he was skeptical when he heard PCC "talk the talk" about its goals to provide opportunities for minority, women and small businesses through its bond program at a pre-proposal meeting last fall.
"Now I see them walk the walk," Lee said. "They did what they said they were going to do and I am impressed. The original Rock Creek proposal was just too big for smaller firms like mine to take on. PCC managers, staff were quick to respond and break the scope down into smaller pieces so it could be spread out to smaller firms like mine."
Lee is just one of several small MWESB firms who has a contract with PCC to provide architectural or construction services for campus improvements. PCC has also awarded contracts to DECA Architecture Inc and DAO Architecture for other PCC sites. These capital improvements are part of a bond approved by voters in November 2008 for PCC to increase classroom space, technology and academic programming across the five-county district.
Since last October, Lee has worked with Barbara Linn, Bond Project Manager for the Rock Creek Campus, to develop plans and finalize permitting to convert the existing first floor of Building 5 from administrative offices into much needed classroom space.
"PCC will have four new AV equipped classrooms ready for students to use and one new START computer lab," Linn said.
In selecting firms and contractors for construction projects, PCC's Board of Directors approved a 20 percent aspirational target as a guide for awarding PCC contracts to minority, women and emerging small businesses across the region.
For more information, visit the PCC Bond Web Site.

Ok......So am I missing where he drops small clues about company's big plans?
There's really nothing newsworthy here. Just a bit of filler story. I suppose that Morgan Stanley analyst is getting paid well into the 6 figures for this kind of quality work!
I'd rather an iPhone with a holographic interface and intuitive voice actuation than cheaper/older models flooding the market. While that seems unrealistic in the early part of the 21st century and extreme capitalism still holding a major factor in society, one can still imagine that kind of future.
fail article
I assume they are referring to the iPhone Mini. Makes sense I suppose. There have been rumors for some time. Also there was an article recently showing the potential market for a lower end phone. It would fit right in with the theme lately... iPad, iPad Mini, iPhone, iPhone Mini.

Bob Dunn (musician)
|Bob Dunn
|Birth name
|Robert Lee Dunn
February 5, 1908
Braggs, Oklahoma, U.S.
|May 27, 1971
(aged 63)
Houston, Texas, U.S.
|Western swing - Jazz
|Steel guitar, Trombone
|Years active
|Associated acts
|Panhandle Cowboys and Indians - Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies - Cliff Bruner's Texas Wanderers - Bill Mounce and the Sons of the South
Robert Lee "Bob" Dunn (February 5, 1908 - May 27, 1971) was an American jazz trombonist and a pioneer Western swing steel guitarist.[2] Although much influenced by influential, key Hawaiian lap steel guitar player Sol Hoʻopiʻi, Dunn played in his own original bluesy style and was the first to record an electric guitar, preceding other country & western guitarists following him shortly. He preceded by over three years George Barnes (with Big Bill Broonzy in 1938), Leonard Ware and, slightly later, Eddie Durham.
Bob Dunn is noted as the first musician to record an electrically amplified instrument—as a member of Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies—on January 27, 1935.[3][dubious ]
Dunn also played steel guitar in numerous other Western swing groups including those of Cliff Bruner and one of Moon Mullican's earlier bands. Dunn also had his own group, The Vagabonds, featuring Mullican and Cliff Bruner.
Dunn was inducted into to the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame in 1992.
- ^ Ginell, Milton Brown and the Founding of Western Swing, p: 108: "Robert Lee Dunn was born near the town of Braggs, Oklahoma on February 5, 1908." NOTE: Birth date confirmed by Social Security Death Index.
- ^ DeCurtis, Present Tense, p. 17-18: In San Antonio Rose, his exhaustive study of life and music of western-swing kingpin Bob wills and his Texas Playboys, Charles Townshend [sic] offers fragmentary but suggestive evidence that T-Bone Walker and Charlie Christian, the front-runners in the first generation of black electric guitarists, were inspired, at least in part, by the early amplified playing of white musicians such as Dunn and McAuliffe. ... Western-swing and jazz present a similar continuum on the white side of the tracks, with men like McAuliffe a jazzy but heavily country-inflected style, while mavericks like Dunn played a kind of pure, futuristic jazz all their own. And every one of these player, black and white, was solidly grounded in the blues."
- ^ Oliphant, "Texas Jazz", p. 23: "Prior to Durham's first recorded performance, Bob Dunn had recorded with the Texas Western Swing unit of Milton Brown and His Music Brownies on January 27 and 28, 1935. On this date, dunn played an amplified steel guitar, which primarily was utilized for Hawaiian music."

MasterCard: Leveraging Media to Connect to Consumers
March 31, 2014
Executive Summary
A key tenet in any investment today is moving beyond simply reaching people and instead focusing on engaging the audience. MasterCard is driving deeper consumer engagement through its iconic "Priceless" campaign, which has shifted from using media for awareness to inciting action and adding value. The company shared some powerful examples of how it built a media framework that ensured relevance and consistency, and how it measured the success of its investment.

There's a reason Kim Kardashian has the confidence to be photographed in bikinis–and even mom jeans. Her secret? She actually likes to sweat. "It probably sounds weird, but for me, there's nothing better than getting up and going right to the gym," reveals Shape's cover girl in this month's issue. The 29-year-old gets candid about her own body issues, including being the first girl in her peer group to develop curves."All my friends were super skinny, and that just wasn't my body type." Luckily, Kim was able to draw inspiration from her mother, Kris Jenner. "I watched my mom, who was always comfortable with herself, and she helped me with my outlook: I have curves and that's never going to change, so I'd better start embracing them or I'm going to have a miserable life," says Kim, who admits, "It took me a while, but I finally caught on." But just like the rest of us, Kim does have a few nagging issues. "I have cellulite, just like almost every other woman on the planet," says the reality star, who recently designed a line of swimwear with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney. "And just because I feel secure with my body doesn't mean I think cellulite is cute! It will always be an issue for me. So let's just say it's a work in progress!"

The space has been retrofitted with TIME's iconic red border to build anticipation for the announcement of the magazine's 2005 Person of the Year, and thanks to a groundbreaking "live-to-web" interactive promotion engineered by Fallon, anyone around the world—including you—can achieve temporary fame by submitting a headshot via a special website created by R/GA. Along with digital pictures snapped by roving photographers in Times Square, these images of normal, everyday people will appear individually on the billboard for a few seconds, sometime before the big announcement—right along with the rotating images of the famous leading nominees. Best of all, each fleeting moment of fame will be captured by a web cam and stored in a searchable archive on the site, allowing users to find, print and email their enlarged mugs starting December 8.

If you're heading to college this year, you may notice your back to school list is a lot different than before. College students have more supplies to worry about, especially if living on campus. Before you pack your bags, check out our list of the top 10 must-haves for college bound students, that you may have left off your list…
1. Mattress Pad – Dorm beds are nothing like the mattresses you're used to sleeping on. Do yourself a favor and invest in a comfortable mattress pad before you start school. Good rest keeps you functioning well, so you're bound to succeed more in college if you can ensure you get a good night's sleep.
2. Earplugs/Headphones – This may not seem like an essential, but you'll be grateful you packed these when you're trying to block out your roommate's Trueblood marathon while pulling an all-nighter studying.
3. Closet Storage Items – This includes hangers, hanging shoe storage, and additional hanging storage. Why all the hanging items? You're not going to have much room in your closet, so finding vertical storage solutions will help you get the most out of your closet.
4. Bed Risers – Since dorm room storage is minimal, investing in bed risers is an absolute must for college students. Lifting your bed off of the ground will create tons of extra space to store clothes, books, luggage, or anything else that's cluttering up your room.
5. Alarm Clock – Sure, phones all have alarm clocks, but what happens if you lose your charger or your phone breaks? Invest in a simple alarm clock to make sure you're always on time to class. Best of all, you'll be able to see what time it is, no matter what you're doing, ensuring you're never late.
6. Extension Cords – You may get to your dorm room and find you only have a few plus available to use. One may be behind your bed and really difficult to reach. Extension cords and even surge protectors are great for making sure all of your electronics are able to be plugged in.
7. Shower Caddy – Toting your bathroom supplies back and forth to the shower stalls may not be fun, but at least with a shower caddy, you'll know you have everything you need. You can find these pretty much everywhere around back-to-school season, in all different colors and shapes, and for affordable prices.
8. Bins/Drawers – If your closet is too small or if you just need more storage space to store additional items, invest in plastic bins and drawers. A chest of three plastic drawers can double as a nightstand, while storing some of your extra clothes. You can also place bins under your bed (if you've invested in risers) to organize any clutter.
9. Laundry Hamper – Unless you've been in charge of doing your own laundry before, this may be an item you complete overlook. Buying a flexible laundry bag or hamper will help separate dirty clothes from clean ones, and keep the mess out of the way. Finding one with a durable strap will help you easily transport them to the laundry room. Don't forget laundry detergent!
10. Lamps – Some dorm rooms are equipped with a lamp or too, but they're generally small table lamps that don't offer much room lighting. Buying one or two tall lamps, an additional table lamp, or a flexible necked lamp to place the light wherever you need it, will ensure you're not left in the dark.

text: I am writing this to help others and hopefully advance the knowledge base. This is my 4th week using a MBP 15 (early 2011) running Lion, Parallels 7 and Windows 7 when I started having problems playing WMV files in Windows Media Player. Parallels customer support suggested I change my allocation of CPUs and RAM to the virtual machine: CPUs went from 4 to 1; and RAM went from 4GB (of a total 8) to 3. The end result was that the WMV files played as they should, but my most critical Windows apps (Excel 2003, Outlook 2010, and Firefox) all developed serious lag issues. In fact, even dragging the cursor across the screen turned into a major chore. My MBP went from lightening fast performance to literally unworkable crawl. Bottom line: The next day, I adjusted CPUs to 3 and RAM to 4 and now my Windows apps work lightening fast again. I do not understand why Parallels recommends 1 CPU and 3GB RAM, but that is not a viable solution. Lawrence

New Short Bob Haircut
American acting superstar Felicity Huffman let go of her long curls and presented her new short bob haircut at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on September 21st, 2008.
The hair was cut just a bit above chin length, a little shorter in the nape, resulting in the very popular angled line and lots of volume in the back. It was parted on the side and styled simple and straight, letting the pure elegance of the form speak for itself.
Her sunny blonde hair was streaked with some highlights and lowlights that brought much more dimension, depth and movement.

The guy gave me the VIN and said the expected delivery date was 11/2 (just over 7 weeks from order date)..not too shabby...at first he had me confused with someone else so I was skeptical of the validity of his info. So I put the VIN in the FORD website search, and my window sticker came up..exactly as I ordered it. The build date on the window sticker is 10/14 (TODAY).. SHould be soon.. Just dont know if the build date is the start or finished dated Ill keep you posted...got a buyer for my rims so ready to order the Steedas! RC

NBC describes their latest recording project as "glowing… very hot… marked by great intensity of feeling… impassioned." Featuring Zach De Pue and Nick Kendall, both on violin, and Ranaan Meyer on bass, Tf3 performs music from Bach and Brahms, to their own arrangements of The Beatles, Katy Perry, Kanye West and Justin Timberlake. They appear everywhere, from Carnegie Hall to Jazz Clubs, European festivals, NFL games and the Indy 500. And now, they mix it up at Festival Miami in a masterful musical fusion, co-hosted by Universal Music U @ Frost. It's time to experience a new kind of concert—it's Time for Three!

The Nebraska Legislatures Agriculture Committee looked at revising the states patchwork livestock brand inspection area Tuesday.
Ryan Creamer, the owner of Creighton Livestock in the Knox County brand inspection area, said branding is a good thing, but its a hardship for him if people from non-brand inspection areas dont have the proper paperwork establishing ownership. Monday, a rancher called to sell cattle at Tuesdays auction, but refused to come when asked for the necessary paperwork, Creamer said.
Instead, ranchers can go two miles south and nine miles east of Creamers sale barn and get out of the inspection area, or they can go north, to Yankton, S.D., to sell their cattle. We need to keep as much business in the state of Nebraska as possible, Creamer said.
Taking Knox out of the area would eliminate this problem, he said. The county has been split about two-thirds in the brand inspection area in Nebraska since 1983. Before that, it was all in.
Sen. Al Davis of Hyannis said brand inspection is still a patchwork quilt, with the western Nebraska in the inspection area and the eastern third and lone Furnas County out. He said ranchers moving cattle back and forth into the brand inspection area for summer pasture will cite Knox County as an example of why their county should be removed from the brand inspection area, too, and requests to drop out of the brand area would increase.
Feedlots and farmers have been expanding west, too, Davis said.
But Larson said he didnt see a trend of counties going out of the brand inspection area and it isnt his intent with LB 60 to cause that.
The Nebraska Brand Committee recovered 3,000 stray cattle last fiscal year, worth $1.1 million, said Steve Stanec, executive director of the committee.
Brand inspection is not just for theft prevention, he said. Its to recover those strays that have wandered.
If a brand inspector goes to a sale barn and sees missing cattle from a brand area, he can put a hold on the sale, Davis said.
Thats happened more often than youd think, he said. Not because people are trying to steal them, but because the cattle get mixed in with their own cattle and they get shipped out.
Davis gave an example of a snowstorm a few years ago that created a snow bank for cattle in feedlots to walk over fences.
If we dont have a brand inspection program, or some way to trace ownership, howre we going to deal with that? he asked.
Brands are permanent and wont get lost like ear tags, but they can get covered with mud and hair in the feedlots, said Jim Herzog, one of three owners of the H&H Cattle Company feedlot in Bloomfield, in the non-brand inspection part of Knox County.
David Wright, president of the Independent Cattlemen of Nebraska, testified that branding isnt required throughout Nebraska, but it proves who owns the cattle and pays for itself with 75-cent fees per head.
People take the identification of their animals very seriously, Larson said. You want to make sure youre not eroding the sanctity of the brand area or anything of that nature.
Larson held a town hall meeting in Bloomfield on Oct. 4, where 70-100 people showed up from feedlots, livestock auctions and ranches. About 85 percent of attendees wanted Knox County out of the brand inspection area and no one from Knox County came to the hearing Tuesday to oppose the bill, Larson said.
If (the brand program) doesnt fit the producers or the producers dont want it, why should the state or people feel like they know better than those local producers? he asked.

text: I had a laser genesis procedure done last week. I had a bad reaction. Looked like a red, raised, bumpy rash everywhere on my face. The rash came after 24 hours. It got worse for two days. Some turned into pimples. I was told it could be folliculitus.The pros - I really felt my skin looked five years younger after. Tighter. Smoother.Cons - terrible, ugly, bumpy rash all over my face. I don't think this is common. A lot of my friends did this procedure and had NO problems.Is anyone ever allergic to laser? It seems like an allergic reaction. I have had the same reaction when I have done laser hair removal. However, with the hair removal, it can be avoided if a very low heat is used. I want to do the procedure again -because truth is, after the terrible rash cleared up 5 days later, my skin looked amazing. Any thoughts? Can I pretreat? Benadryl did not seem to help.

Press Release
Volunteers 'Impact Las Vegas' by cleaning area trails
Published on Thu, Feb 7, 2013 (2:14 p.m.)FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 2013
Volunteers 'Impact Las Vegas' by cleaning area trails
Las Vegas, NV: Beyond the bright lights and commotion of the Las Vegas strip, there are nearly 60 miles of walking and biking and equestrian trails.
Glen Simpson, the Impact Las Vegas organizer, says "Ideally, these paths could be used as safe routes to school for students, alternative transportation means for commuters and free exercise options for everyone, but many residents do not even know they exist." These trails also connect the community to cultural centers, workplaces, and other neighbors.
On Saturday, February 16, volunteering locals and visitors will join hearts and hands for a community-wide clean-up day from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. for the second annual Impact Las Vegas. The efforts will help keep Las Vegas trails, adjacent neighborhoods and parks open, safe and enjoyable. Volunteers will be working at three urban trail areas and one park.
An expected 300 volunteers will clean and clear access points to two sections of the Bonanza Trail, one section of the Bradley Bridle equestrian trail, and one section of the Pioneer Trail along the Cultural Corridor. The group plans to paint over graffiti, remove trash and broken glass, and clear landscaping. These are all important trails to the City. For instance the Bonanza Trail connects Summerlin to the Springs Preserve and the Pioneer Trails connects the Historic West Side to the Cultural Corridor and other important landmarks
Impact Las Vegas is organized by Relevance X, a young adult ministry conference held in Las Vegas. Sponsors for Impact Las Vegas include United Methodist Communications, area United Methodist churches, The Outside Las Vegas Foundation, corporate volunteer groups and local residents.
The event urges participants to Rethink Church and utilizes outreach to make a difference in the world beyond church doors.
Volunteers will meet at the following sites at 9 a.m. on Saturday, February 16, 2013:
• Bonanza Trail #1 100 Michael Way at Bromley 89107
• Bonanza Trail #2
Mirabelli Community Center 6200 Hargrove 89107
• Pioneer Trail at Heritage Park Las Vegas Boulevard at Washington Avenue 89101
• Bradley Bridle Park
Horse at Bradley Road 89131
For more information, and to register to volunteer, please visit www.impactlasvegas2012.org.

W.I.N.O. welcomes Jumbo
December 14, 2012
New Orleans alumni bond over a tall glass.
On December 6, The Big Easy's TuftsAlumni chapter gathered for a happy hour at the Wine Institute of New Orleans (W.I.N.O.).
The event promoted the holiday spirit of giving and receiving; each guest brought a toy to donate to Toys for Tots and then selected their own bottle to pour from the Institute's collection of 120 wines from around the world.
The generous alumni donations made the event especially rewarding for volunteer Irene Pallais, A06, who appreciates giving back at this time of year. She adds that the casual nature of the event and the venue allowed for easy conversation between the chapter and its newest additions, including two alumni who had recently moved to the area.
Pallais hopes events like this will attract more Jumbos from her region to come together, as it certainly already helps the alumni from different generations in their small, but sturdy chapter "find common ground through Tufts."

The Division of Prevention and Population Sciences supports and provides leadership for population- and clinic-based research on the causes, prevention, and clinical care of cardiovascular, lung, and blood diseases and sleep disorders. Research includes a broad array of epidemiological studies to describe disease and risk factor patterns in populations and to identify risk factors for disease; clinical trials of interventions to prevent disease; studies of genetic, behavioral, sociocultural, and environmental influences on disease risk and outcomes; and studies of the application of prevention and treatment strategies to determine how to improve clinical care and public health. The Division also supports training and career development for these areas of research. The Division is organized into four major components: the Epidemiology Branch, the Clinical Applications and Prevention Branch, the Women's Health Initiative Branch, and the Office of Biostatistics Research.
The DPPS Strategic Plan uses the NHLBI Strategic Plan as its framework, and reflects DPPS programs in each of the major three goal areas, "form to function" (Goal 1), "function to causes" (Goal 2), and "causes to cures" (Goal 3). Specific programs, either ongoing or planned, and possible future research areas are provided within each Goal and under specific Challenges. The DPPS Strategic Plan will be regularly reviewed and revised to reflect changing programs and directions.
The Clinical Applications and Prevention Branch supports, designs, and conducts research and supports training on behavioral, environmental, clinical, and healthcare approaches to reduce occurrence and consequences of cardiovascular diseases. Prevention research examines effects of interventions to slow or halt risk factor or disease development or progression; interventions use high-risk individual and population approaches, including medications, behavioral strategies, and environmental change. Studies examine lifestyle, nutrition and exercise, psychological and sociocultural factors, and environmental and genetic influences relevant to prevention. Clinical application research examines approaches to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. Studies include clinical and community trials and selected observational studies.
Lawrence J. Fine, M.D., Branch Chief
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Epidemiology Branch supports, designs, and conducts research and supports training in the epidemiology of cardiovascular, lung, blood, and sleep diseases and disorders. Studies are conducted to identify temporal trends and population patterns in the prevalence, incidence, morbidity, and mortality from these diseases and include single- and multi-center observational epidemiology studies of the development, progression, and treatment of cardiovascular, lung, blood, and sleep diseases and disorders. Studies identify environmental, lifestyle, physiological, and genetic risk factors for disease and risk factor development, including characterization of gene/gene and gene/environment interactions. The Branch also distributes data from all eligible NHLBI studies to researchers as a national data resource, adhering to guidelines that protect participant privacy and confidentiality.
Paul D. Sorlie, Ph.D., Branch Chief
E-mail: email@example.com
The Women's Health Initiative Branch supports clinical trials and observational studies to improve understanding of the causes and prevention of major diseases affecting the health of women. Current studies focus on cardiovascular disease, cancer, and fractures, in collaboration with NCI, NIAMS, NIA, NINDS, and ORWH. The large multi-center observational epidemiology studies seek to identify risk markers for disease or better quantify known markers using questionnaire, clinical examination, and laboratory data. The large and long-term multi-center clinical trials test promising but unproven interventions such as hormone therapy, diet, and supplements to prevent major diseases and evaluate overall effects on health. The Branch has established an infrastructure to support the utilization of data and blood samples from the studies by the scientific community.
Jacques E. Rossouw, M.D., Branch Chief

The Office of Biostatistics Research (OBR) provides statistical expertise to members of all Divisions of the NHLBI and performs diverse functions in planning, designing, implementing and analyzing NHLBI-sponsored studies. The OBR has primary responsibility for providing objective, statistically sound, and medically relevant solutions to problems. When presented with a problem for which techniques are not yet available, the OBR is expected to provide a new and valid statistical solution. The OBR is concerned with designing efficient studies and monitoring data while studies are ongoing. All members of the professional staff have interests in statistical methodology relevant to clinical research studies. The OBR's methodological interest concern survival analysis, longitudinal data analysis, and efficient study designs, including the monitoring of ongoing clinical studies for efficacy and safety. Recently the OBR has made contributions to statistical genetics and has extended its expertise to bioinformatics.

Neutrogena Wave Original Vibrating Power-Cleanser Reviews
Good for gentle cleansingThe wave is okay, not too amazed by it. Since this one came with only one speed setting, it's good enough for gentle cleansing, removing excess makeup and cleaning pores. It's a hassle and a waste of money to constantly buy the pads to put on it. The pads come with its own soap, but I prefer to use my cleanser. Another con is, it's battery operated. If you prefer deep pore cleansing, Investing in a brush system would be a better and money saving choice! — 4 years, 2 months agosmartSHOP | 9 reviews
Greatt!it makes my skin so soft and it unclogs your pores! I had little bumps all over my cheeks and I think they were clogged pores so I used it a little rougher on them and I woke up today and they are smaller! It leaves my skin moisturized and helps fade scars! — 5 years, 3 months agoleesha | 3 reviews
DissapointedI was very excited to try out this product. I saw little to no difference. Pads are around $7 for 10. I wouldn't waste my money on this product. — 5 years, 6 months agokbull07 | 12 reviews
NOT even worth the 15 bucks!Barely any vibration. You get more payoff by moving the wave around your face yourself without even turning it on. And for you to only be able to use each foaming pad once before having to throw it away.... they are way too expensive. I was super disappointed. It looks cool though! Cute in pink...lol. — 5 years, 7 months agoraegan_elice | 5 reviews

3 WordsThis product was terrible. It made me get irritation bumps all over my forehead and I broke out all over my chin and temples. There's no lather, and not much soap in the pad. It's seriously not worth the money. My hands are better for washing my face. — 5 years, 8 months agopreeti_rao | 3 reviews

Love this, but don't use it much.I have had the blue one for a few years, it still works! I have replaced the batteries twice. It really deep cleans your face more than regular face washes. This will remind me to use mine tonight. — 6 years, 2 months agobeautygirl99 | 11 reviews
Good product!Good product, I bought this w/ a coupon of only $3! My face feels cleaner but very oily when I wash my face after using the product. I have to wash my face over and over to not feel oily but afterward my face is squeaky clean. I don't like how you have to buy more pads after though it becomes costly. Does not work for all skin types, my mom got an itch when she used it. — 6 years, 3 months agoinfatuatedbby | 33 reviews
good if you need to remove a lot of flakesThis exfoliates really well but its not for everyday use. The pads are expensive and the smell they give off is really chemically. — 6 years, 4 months agopinkpoodle33 | 6 reviews

Love! Love! Love!The wave is amazing. It leaves your skin feeling clean and soft. You can also add your own cleanser to the pad if you want. It is easy and a fun way of cleansing. The wave has different types of cleansing pads but my favorite is the gentle exfoliating pads.
