I heard this herb can help hormonal acne. actually my acne is pretty much gone by taking EP oil for the last 3 months but I thought maybe Vitex can really terminate it. I read on the website that you really need to take for 4-8weeks to notice any difference so I bought 4 bottles. SADLY, this herb didn't help but made my skin WORSE. I just finished my period and now my skin is quite clear. I took 2 capsule yesterday before bed and this morning, I got a big lumpy deep pimple on my chin. I thought it was weird as I never had chin pimples after my period but always 1.5 weeks before my period. Anyway, 20mins ago I took another 2 capsules after dinner, now I got another big one on my chin. The reaction is so fast that I couldn't even believe it. I know some people may argue that I should give it a fair trial for at least 4 weeks but I am not going to take the chance. I believe if it doesn't feel right for you the first time, it won't in future. Now I have got 4 bottles sitting in my cupboard and 2 big cysts on my chin! Sigh, it is all part of my learning curve. So the suggestion to you is always get one bottle to try before making a long term commitment to any herb.

I took vitex because I read that it can help some people with hormonal acne. I took it for two months. At first I thought it was making my skin less oily and perhaps it was. As time went on, I started seeing my veins get darker, varicose like and new spider veins started popping up daily and my legs began to throb. By the end of my second month I had horrifying PMS like I haven't had in years and my veins were a complete mess, so I decided to stop taking it after my last cycle. I also noticed that I felt very "unhealthy" the whole time I was taking it. I can remember saying in my head many times a day.... "I just don't feel well, I don't feel well, I don't feel right." Now that I'm off it, the onset of new varicose and spider veins is subsiding, my mood has improved and my overall wellbeing is so much better. I guess this just isn't a miracle for everyone and I would warn that adjusting your hormones can have many side affects including varicose veins, throbbing legs and changes to your cycle. (In my case negative changes) Be careful before taking this.

If you have experienced any side effects from taking multivitamins such as centrum, you shouldn't take this. I had a headache, upset stomach, and terrible nausea. Everything started with only one pill. Be careful if you have any signs of side effects on multivitamins and dietary supplements.

The January article extols the virtues of the atmosphere. "Formerly a car dealership, the downtown space used re-claimed lumber from the old floor for the front bar, tables, and roasting space," writes the author. "It feels open and airy, with streaming sunlight that provides a natural pick-me-up."

Home > Research Legal Advice > Real Estate > Why would buyers agent fail to get earnest money into escrow?
We accepted a purchase contract in good faith. Four days later we find out that the buyers agent did not keep the earnest money but gave it back to the buyer after making a copy of it to attach to the purchase offer. So escrow has not been opened. Now we are told that the buyer has some court issues to take care of out of state and wants to cancel. I understand that there is usually a 10 day inspection period, but buyer waived this because he wanted to close in 9 days of us accepting his offer. Do we have any options for getting the earnest money? Why would the agent fail to keep it and open escrow as she should have? We are in Arizona. Thank you.
My first question re buyer's termination is: what does the contract provide? Just because they wanted to close in 9 days does not absent an express change to the form agreement translate into a waiver. I have to guess they would still have wanted to do an inspection.
As the behavior of the agent, I cannot say unless he/she knew what was up. Consider making a complaint to the Arizona Department of Real Estate if you feel the agent harmed you. However, if, in the end, the buyers did have the right to terminate, it may not be worth the trouble. Better to focus on getting your home back on the market and sold!

This week's rail traffic reading showed modest improvement over recent weeks, but the longer-term trend remains negative. Intermodal traffic was up 3.9% this week, which was an improvement over last week's reading of 2.8%. The data, however, continues to soften on a rolling three-month basis with the latest reading coming in at 3%. That's the lowest level since January. The good news is we're not seeing the type of consistently negative readings that tend to precede a recession. The bad news is that the growth is tapering.
Here's more via The Association of American Railroads:
The Association of American Railroads (AAR) reported an increase in traffic for the week ending May 11, 2013, with total U.S. weekly carloads of 280,986 carloads, up 0.6 percent compared with the same week last year. Intermodal volume for the week totaled 248,266 units, up 3.9 percent compared with the same week last year. Total U.S. traffic for the week was 529,252 carloads and intermodal units, up 2.1 percent compared with the same week last year.
Five of the 10 carload commodity groups posted increases compared with the same week in 2012, led by petroleum and petroleum products, up 50.8 percent. Commodities showing a decrease compared with the same week last year included grain, down 21.3 percent, and farm and food products, excluding grain, down 10 percent.
For the first 19 weeks of 2013, U.S. railroads reported cumulative volume of 5,244,498 carloads, down 1.9 percent from the same point last year, and 4,540,879 intermodal units, up 4.3 percent from last year. Total U.S. traffic for the first 19 weeks of 2013 was 9,785,377 carloads and intermodal units, up 0.9 percent from last year.

It's a masterpiece
The only surviving in-situ ceiling painting of Peter Paul Rubens is also one of the most famous from a golden age of painting.
It's massively impressive
Two canvasses measure 28x20ft and two others 40x10ft.
You'll live to tell about it
The ceiling was one of Charles I's last sights before he lost his head. The King was executed on a scaffold outside in 1649.
The canvases were painted by Sir Peter Paul Rubens and installed in the hall in 1636. The three main canvasses depict The Union of the Crowns, The Apotheosis of James I and The Peaceful Reign of James I.
'I confess that I am, by natural instinct, better fitted to execute very large works than small curiosities.'

Brad Fuller Says to Expect a "Grounded" and Possibly Mo-Cap Take on 'Ninja Turtles'
Features By Jack Giroux on April 27, 2012 | Comments (1)When we heard that Platinum Dunes and the director of Battle: Los Angeles were planning on rebooting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it was pretty easy to jump to conclusions about what type of film they would be making: gritty, lots of shaky-cam, and like most modern action filmmaking, trying to ground ridiculousness as much as possible. But Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller tells us that we should definitely expect a grounded, but not "gritty" take on a movie with alien turtles coming to Earth. Fuller also shared that a part of this "grounded" version may come courtesy of motion-capture. Based on Fuller's tone and his love for Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it would be a shock if the filmmaking team behind the project do not go with mo-cap Turtles. Here's what Brad Fuller had to say about Ninja Turtles:

Rejection is never pain-free. If it is, then you've steeled yourself to never allow anyone to really get close to you. However, honestly facing the pain of rejection from others--especially those you care about--can lead you to see more clearly whose opinion matters the most to you.

The last time Chioma Gray's family had seen her was on Dec. 13, 2007. According to witnesses, the former Buena High School student, who was 15 at the time, was hustled into a stolen car that day driven by Andrew Joshua Tafoya, then 20, who had been released from jail the night before.

New San Diego Convention Center Would Be West Coast's Largest
Filed under: Real Estate Developments
San Diego has decided on the new plans for the expansion of the San Diego Convention Center. The project includes a five-acre rooftop park (rendering shown above), a truck tunnel for exhibitors and a 500-room hotel to be built on top of a nearby parking garage. The San Diego Tribune reports that architect Curtis Fentress was appointed by the convention center board. The design would make San Diego's expanded 750,000-square-foot exhibit hall the largest on the west coast, big enough to accommodate the ever-growing annual Comic-Con and other conventions. The 80,000 square foot ballroom will be the largest ballroom in a convention facility on the West Coast.
"Fentress' design for the Convention Center builds on the success of our iconic facility by embracing the waterfront location with a new, 5-acre rooftop park while delivering an expanded facility that will help drive our regional economy, generate jobs and build on our reputation as a world-class convention and meeting destination," said San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders in a statement. "The Convention Center continues to be one of San Diego's strongest assets driving jobs, tax revenues and economic benefits, all of which will significantly increase when the building expands, and Fentress' design will take us there."
The 3.5-million-square-foot facility will have green features including gray-water processing and photovoltaic cells. The project seeks to earn a "LEED Gold" rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. It sounds great but the question of financing is a perennial problem. it's not clear yet how it will be paid for, although the new design is cheaper than earlier plans. The expansion plans will undergo an an environmental review and if approved construction could begin in 2013.

Schneier on SecurityA blog covering security and security technology. « Home-Made Wi-Fi Hacking, Phone Snooping, UAV | Main | Zodiac Cipher Cracked » August 5, 2011 German Police Call Airport Full-Body Scanners UselessI'm not surprised: The weekly Welt am Sonntag, quoting a police report, said 35 percent of the 730,000 passengers checked by the scanners set off the alarm more than once despite being innocent. However, this surprised me: The European parliament backed on July 6 the deployment of body scanners at airports, but on condition that travellers have the right to refuse to walk through the controversial machines. I was told in Amsterdam that there was no option. I either had to walk through the machines, or not fly. Here's a story about full-body scanners that are overly sensitive to sweaty armpits. Posted on August 5, 2011 at 6:22 AM • 30 Comments To receive these entries once a month by e-mail, sign up for the Crypto-Gram Newsletter. Commentsnicolas • August 5, 2011 6:46 AM Interesting comment about Amsterdam. I flew to China from Amsterdam a month ago and there was no Body scanner to go through. Just your regular electronic scan gate. So maybe they only use it for travels to the US. Daniel Wijk • August 5, 2011 6:47 AM In the EU it takes years for the individual countries to adapt the policies made by the European parliament. So its not surprising that you had to go through the scanner, Bruce. John • August 5, 2011 6:54 AM oh no, American Freedoms migrating to Europe - you are free to chose to walk through the full body scanner or walk away. Hopefully the European Parliament ruling will not be ignored as they often are. Nenad • August 5, 2011 6:55 AM Don't confuse the regular 'gate' detectors with the full-body scanners.. they only take some people to them and that's after they've passed the gate detector ... in a full body scanner you assume a funny position you are told and stand still while it does its job... had the experience on Heathrow... Mathieu • August 5, 2011 7:03 AM I flew Amsterdam to Newark a few weeks ago and turned down the full body scanner. They asked me why, and I replied that I just did not want to go thru the machine. Eva Quirinius • August 5, 2011 7:43 AM I think there are only full-body-scans at Amsterdam-Schiphol when you fly to the US with an US Airline: the checks are then much more thorough, including a personal interview. It's my knowledge that is done on request of the US government and/or US airlines. At Hamburg (Germany) airport the full body scanner was an opt-in option, which I choose. It was slow and cumbersome, and I had to be checked 'by hand' afterwards. José Pedro Magalhães • August 5, 2011 7:45 AM I also flew from Amsterdam to the US rejecting a body scanner, and after some discussion got a pat down and metal detector. They even had leaflets there explaining the body scanners, and it said somewhere you could refuse. Volker • August 5, 2011 7:51 AM The 35% error percentage are for MULTIPLE false alerts. Original source (not the overly abridged AFP one) Peter • August 5, 2011 7:56 AM @John: Actually, in the US you are not free to walk away. The law says that once you enter the scanning area, you must submit to scanning even if you then choose not to fly (or whatever the activity involved is). There have been several stories about this law being enforced in various silly ways. Snarki, child of Loki • August 5, 2011 8:21 AM @Peter: Got any actual prosecutions to cite? I don't think TSA wants to try and defend their practices in front of a judge, so all they do is bluster and threaten. Then quietly back down. Peter • August 5, 2011 9:27 AM @Snarki - I don't keep track of these things, or follow up to see if the prosecutions actually happened, so no cites. I do know that at one point the govt talked of (and had detailed plans for) moving the Buffalo border crossing onto Canadian territory, because there happened to be more space available. However, Canadian law allows one to walk away from a check at any time. The US govt wasn't willing to accept that, so they figured out a way to expand on the US side. When my brother was refused entry into the US (for completely silly reasons I won't go into here) he was not allowed to just walk away - he had to submit to fingerprinting, lots of questions (including names and addresses of relatives completely uninvolved in the issue), etc. Markus • August 5, 2011 9:43 AM Like Volker already pointed out above, the 35% failure (i.e. false-positive) rate is already the re-scan/second scan rate, after a first false alarm. The initial scan failure rate is 70%, while 10% of all alarms can be attributed to motion or incorrect position of the person in the scanner. And since some people like to get off on calling them "pornoscanners", it should be pointed out that the devices tested at the Hamburg airport were second-generation, producing only "stick figure" symbolized scan images with alarm areas that require manual pat-down re-checks marked up. Another thing that seems to be largely missing from translated versions like the AFP piece is that, reportedly, German police is significantly unpleased with the scanner manufacturer (L3Communications) because they agreed to provide various fixes and improvements, but then failed to deliver them. scottnottheotherscott • August 5, 2011 9:56 AM Markus is correct about the stick figures. When I went through Schipol and set off the scanners there were higlighted areas on the stick man to indicate where things were amiss. It turned out to be the zippers on the removable legs of my cargo pants. Brett • August 5, 2011 11:08 AM I have the same problem. My clothes have cargo pockets - even the velcro-like closures confuses the machine. The elastic hair tie (has a metal clasp to hold in a ring, unlike a rubber band that doesnt) will set it off. some of my pants have plastic zippers (with a bit of fabric that lays over the zipper for fashion reasons) to detach the lower part (converts them to shorts) - this also confuses. therefore if I wear these convertibles with cargo pockets and a shirt with comparable pockets I invariably get patted down and wanded (sometime a few times) just on one entry through security. And the same thing happens on the way back.... So my next invention will be making explosive velcro! Seiran • August 5, 2011 11:34 AM On one hand, excessive false-alarms desensitizes screeners (TSOs) to the alarm event, increase the risk that they will miss a threat. On the other hand, a high false-alarm rate where large numbers of pax are subject to additional screening increases the risk of detection for a would-be malevolent actor. Having more than 10% of passengers go through "extra" screening is effectively making it apply to everyone. My take on it is that the price of a few terrorist attacks and some occasional bombings should be accepted as the price we have to pay for economic and social freedom. The enormous cost of security in society is not just in convenience and liberty, but real expenditures and opportunity cost (e.g. time) that translates into financial losses. Various attempts to quantify the cost of e.g. airport security, in dollars, have been made by researchers, and various figures postulated. What the figures have in common, though, is that they are very, very high. Well, just that they are useless does not mean that we are not going to deploy them. Rik • August 5, 2011 6:31 PM I have gone through the full body scanners at Amsterdam's airport several times and have no problem with them. They show the result of the scan in a way that I can see them, and it's just a (rounded) stick figure with areas of unusual density highlighted. I do not see any privacy concerns with these machines. The machines used in the US appear to be very different (needless privacy invasion - could probably be argued a 4th amendment violation because better machines do exist), and chances are the ineffective machines in Germany are different again. me2 • August 5, 2011 9:26 PM I think the point about the Amsterdam scanners that wasn't mentioned, is that they have a high sensitivity to stoners. When the stoners go through, a little mist of ultraviolet paint is projected at their person. They've calibrated this stream so successfully, it's almost always dead on to the center of their backpacks. Then a security person approaches them with a blacklight wand and asks the stoner to open their pack. But the stoners are usually so enraptured by the blacklight, they can't function to open the backpack. But they're agreeable folk usally, and let the security personnel open the bag while the stoner plays with the blacklight. Only in Amsterdam :) Jake • August 6, 2011 10:48 AM "I was told in Amsterdam that there was no option. I either had to walk through the machines, or not fly." my guess is that the dutch are especially sensitive about the body scanners because NL was the origin for the "underwear bomber" who flew into the US. i have had several conversations with TSA employees who cited the "underwear bomber" as the justification for the scanners. imo the passive millimeter-wave scanners in the UK are a much more sensible idea. i would expect the germans to recognize that any unnecessary incremental radiation exposure is bad. veganpanda • August 6, 2011 11:07 AM Regarding body scanners at airports; there's a main reason I'm against them (others should join me) & have never been in one, it's the radiation that they produce & therefore give users a dose of! Please read this: http://www.tgdaily.com/hardware-features/... Lisa • August 6, 2011 3:06 PM Doctor Oz does not consider these scanners to be safe for the following 4 groups: cancer survivors, pregnant women, children, and elderly, and he recommends that they should avoid being scanned at airports. http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/... Check around 4:10, also at 1:30 as well. As a survivor of cancer, I have always opted for the "enhanced" pat-downs. I have lots of visible scars from surgery and happy show them to TSA agents when they ask me why I am refusing the scans. It is not fair that the Europeans are not providing the same option NOW in the entire EU zone for people in those groups that need to fly for business trips or family visits, without having to risk their lives in the name of security theatre. Thomas • August 7, 2011 6:39 PM @Bruce, Why is that surprising? The decision to deploy them is based not only on actual effectiveness, but perceived effectiveness as well as a whole lot of unrelated stuff that we'll just label "politics". You yourself were talking about a little security theater being acceptable if it brings perceived risk in line with actual risk. You're surprised someone is doing that? no one • August 8, 2011 4:17 AM @Thomas: And who is measuring "perceived effectiveness"? obviously people who will get more money if the measure is favourable. But in Schiphol (Amsterdam) airport they are looking for another problem, probably people building a bomb inside the airport - so you have a search when you exit the plane, when you go to the transfer area and when you embark the next plane. I am just someone who will not go in (for instance a free entry) museum if the entry security measures generates a large group of people waiting at the entrance, so that if there were a terrorist around he will have an obvious target *outside* the secure area. Autolykos • August 8, 2011 4:19 AM What surprises me is that the report was actually published. Our police is just as big on security theater as yours is, and our version of the freedom of information law is so hollowed out it is practically nonexistent (requests can be denied for pretty much any reason, including gut feelings of the public servant). fourletterword • August 8, 2011 8:15 AM Flew from Amsterdam to US end of last year. I told the security person I didn't want to go through the scanners. She asked why, I replied I fly a lot and was concerned about the radiation. She went to talk to her superior, came back and I got a patdown, but no problem at all. It was funny because everyone I saw going through the scanners got a patdown as well... so I can confirm a high number of false positives and would have estimated even higher. George • August 8, 2011 12:48 PM @Seiran: "Various attempts to quantify the cost of e.g. airport security, in dollars, have been made by researchers, and various figures postulated. What the figures have in common, though, is that they are very, very high." The TSA's responses to GAO audits indicate that the TSA and the Homeland Security bureaucracy consider themselves impervious to any sort of cost-benefit analysis. They are so determined to avoid blame for (inevitable) failures that they will spare no expense reacting to past breaches so their posteriors are always securely covered. And of course, that expense is not merely in dollars, but in time, civil liberties, and now basic bodily integrity. And questions about cost-effectiveness can always be dodged with "Remember 9/11!" That also would seem to explain why believe that security should be as visible, intrusive, and painful as possible for everyone found guilty of wanting to fly. Part of it may be an assumption that if they create enough arbitrary hassles for innocent travelers, they will create even more difficulty for terrorists, thereby "protecting the public." That assumption may have some validity, but the Question That Must Not Be Asked is whether whatever (unclear) benefit it provides justifies the very clear burden. But the main reason for defining "effective security" as "maximally intrusive security" is to show everyone involved how thorough and committed the TSA is to "protecting the public." In other words, security theatre. I happen to believe that the best security is distinguished by its invisibility to the innocent and selectivity to the guilty. But that requires a level of intelligence and competence that is surely impossible to find in a secretive bloated bureaucracy like the TSA. The best they can do is a blunderbuss approach that treats everyone like a convicted felon. That's mainly because they have no reliable way of identifying the actual one-in-a-billion threat. But it's also because many people buy into the security theatre. If the TSA makes them take off the coats and shoes, confiscates their liquids, and hustles them into a high-tech scanner, it MUST be effective protection! And to anyone who questions this belief, "Remember 9/11!" George • August 8, 2011 12:59 PM If so many people are going to get groped when the scanner flags their false positive, why not just bypass the scanner and the unknown risk of radiation and go straight to the groping? Of course, the TSA is well known for defining a false positive as a "success." Each zipper, hair band, pocket, or sweaty armpit it flags is incontrovertable proof of the scanner's effectiveness at detecting hidden explosives, should someone carrying them ever happen to walk through a checkpoint. Blogger Bob would surely remind us that critics who use the German tests to attack the TSA are misinterpreting the results. Rather, the tests prove that the scanners reliably detect "anomalies" that could signal a threat to aviation, thereby providing highly effective protection against the Underwear Bomber. That should give everyone complete confidence that the scanners provide highly effective protection against terrorist threats. For anyone who persists in doubting this fact: "Remember 9/11!" We have them over here in Europe and if you do refuse to go through one, the overzealous security staff well decide to give you a 5 min pat down . They seem to take it as some kind of a personal front that you should refuse to get in one of these machines, Lets the security staff to see you with absolutely nothing to hide as it were. Well its all about perceived risk minimisation rather than actual minimisation so maybe its works on that front.

Interview: UK Star Ricky Whittle Tries His Luck in America and Comes Up a Winner

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 24:18 — 16.7MB)
A big star in the UK, Ricky Whittle decided it was time to take a huge gamble with his career.
He had been working steadily back home where he started as a model than transitioned to acting. He nabbed a starring role on the hit soap, Hollyoaks, and was there from 2006-2011. But, as he told me, he soon realized that there was "a plateau."
"I could have happily have stayed where I was in the U.K. I was doing very well. I was working constantly," he said. "There's only so far you can go in the U.K." So, he packed up and moved to Bever-ly. Or, Santa Monica, to be exact.
When he got stateside, he didn't know anyone. He had a few meetings and by chance, met a manager and that's when things started rolling. He was quickly cast in the feature Austenland opposite Keri Russell, Jennifer Coolidge and Jane Seymour and soon after, was asked to join the cast of the VH1 series Single Ladies which will premiere this summer.
I talked to Ricky about what it's like to come to LA after his years of success back home, the differences in shooting a show in the UK and the States and

Okay so I'm in two leagues this year and this is my 2nd.
Same as the other, 10 team PPR league.
QB-Michael Vick (Philadelphia)
RB-LeBarrette Blount (Tampa Bay)
RB-Tim Hightower (Washington)
RB/WR-Jahvid Best (Detroit)
WR-Greg Jennings (Green Bay
WR-Steve Johnson (Buffalo)
TE-Jimmy Graham (New Orleans)
D/ST-Detroit Lions
K-Ryan Longwell (Minnesota)
QB-Cam Newton (Carolina)
QB-Matthew Stafford (Detroit)
RB-Ahmad Bradhsaw (New York)
RB-Jonathan Stewart (Carolina)
RB-Danny Woodhead (New England)
WR-Nate Burleson (Detroit)
WR-Greg Little (Cleveland)
WR-Jacoby Ford (Oakland)
WR-Earl Bennett (Chicag)
I'm trying to trade Mike Vick for some RBs & WRs.
Depending on the interest I get for Vick I might just trade him straight up for a WR like Fitzgerlad, Marshall, Viincent Jackosn.
Cam Newton is a stud fantasy QB and I feel pretty confident with him as my QB1 for the rest of the season. And if he struggles I still have Stafford, who's been incredible.
Would it be a good idea for me to trade Vick?
Thanks in advance

Acer Complaint - Acer Customer Service (or lack thereof)
Review by
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- I purchased an Acer Aspire AS-5738PG laptop back in February 2010 and was very excited to upgrade to a newer laptop since I have been using a 3 year old machine and it was not cutting it. I received the laptop and unpacked everything and it looked good. Started it up and followed all the instructions to burn the recovery DVDs. Lucky I did so since the hard drive died within 2 weeks of use. I would typically put the machine into standby and I noticed a clicking noise every time it went into standby. Two weeks in and one day it just froze on me. I restarted it and that is when the hard drive started clicking a lot and the computer said no hard drive found.
Prior to this happening, I also noticed the audio would stutter every so often. I had updated all of my drivers to the latest version according to the Acer website. I had even logged a service request for help regarding the issue and all they could tell me was to do a system restore. Okay, been there done that. I did some more research and found out that there was a Deferred Procedure Call (DPC) latency that would cause the audio to skip. This is typically due to poorly written drivers and so I was out of luck since I had updated everything per Acer tech support and performed a system restore. All they would tell me to do was to send in the computer to their repair depot.
So finally, with the hard drive dead and the audio stutter problem, I decided to try out their repair depot. I submitted my service request and they issued an RMA to me, but I had to pay for the shipping to the destination. Naturally, I was unhappy with this since this is all happening during the 1 year warranty period. But since I had no choice, I had to pay for the shipping. After waiting for a week or so, I received the laptop back and the hard drive had been replaced. Great. But still there was audio stuttering. To this day, there has not been a single driver update from 2010 despite the fact that there are obvious issues with the existing drivers.
My main complaint is that we the consumer are at the mercy of the laptop manufacturers to provide software/driver updates since drivers are usually customized to hardware, especially in laptop computers. Other companies like HP and Lenovo are much better at addressing driver issues. I realize that hardware faults do happen, but I am extremely disappointed that Acer apparently does not keep consumers updated with the latest drivers and/or BIOS updates to fix any issues. It seems innovation stops after the sale of the computer. I just want other consumers to be aware of the issue of manufacturer support of the machine driver-wise and how important that can be. This Acer Aspire 5738PG has not lived up to my expectations of a dependable computer and I actually regret this purchase. I hope that my review will give others pause before buying an Acer machine. Hopefully the company will change its ways.

Ellen DeGeneres And Bruno Mars Teamed Up To Prank An Unsuspecting Nurse
And it's so, so, SO funny.
And it's so, so, SO funny.
Watching people sing when they don't know the lyrics is akin to getting a scalp massage while your hair is being shampooed (it's the best thing EVER).
This is baby number two for the happy couple.
Meeting Brad Pitt would be an overwhelming experience for anyone, even Selena Gomez.
After aping several stars, Ellen gave the Saturday Night Live actor a delightful housewarming gift.
In preparation for her 10th season on the air, Ellen Degeneres teamed up with Jennifer Aniston to make some fun new promos for the show. Ellen is awesome, and it's so cool that she's friends with everybody.
This is both funny and cute because, well, anything Emma does is super cute.
And $15,000. Once again, Ellen shows what a big heart she has.
Why do I even need to watch the real movies? Ellen and Neil Patrick Harris cover most of it. I'm sad they didn't reenact Black Swan though. Mr. Harris would've looked fabulous in a tutu. Watch Video ›
Graeme Taylor, the openly gay 14-year-old who defended a teacher with this inspiring speech at a school board meeting, was on Ellen today. You should really watch his interview. Watch Video ›
Sofia went on Ellen yesterday, and the two of them teamed up to prey on random WB employees with Sofia's unintelligible accent (and two other assets.) It's actually quite charming. Watch Video ›
I don't know how we missed this gem of a segment from the show last year, where Chris Matthews cups Ellen's boobs like he means it. But the technology Ellen is using to prepare for Matthews' return could be extremely valuable next time I'm at a bar inhabited by dirty old men. Watch Video ›
