Shower with natural rainwater-like freshness.
You can have softer skin and hair!
Why? Because chlorine is a toxic element.
Chlorine is used to chemically disinfect water. The problem is that chlorine also strips protein from your skin and hair, leaving it dry and itchy.
Filtering out chlorine helps protect your skin and hair from this stripping action and leaves it softer, much like nature's natural rainwater.
And, while it's helping you, it's also removing odors and dirt particles and helping control bacteria, mold, and mildew in your bathroom.

Really Hard Edition: Part 3
By editor
According to puzzle editor Art Chung, some games on Ask Me Another are hard because they're created with only one person in mind who can play them: our V.I.P., or Very Important Puzzler. In this segment, host Ophira Eisenberg and guest musician Julian Velard present a game about quirky chess players written specifically for Grandmaster Maurice Ashley called "Two and a Half Chessmen." Then, find out Will Shortz' favorite crossword clue of all time, and play along with a diabolical final round game of his own devising, an anagram game titled "Five By Five."

Twinlab Bariatric Support Basic Essentials Powder Vanilla -- 1.6 lbs
Nice overall coverage of vitamins But
seem to be missing D2 and K2 which are shown to be most effective in assimilating calcium. Too important to omit for certain members of the population.

Thick Creamy
I was quite surprised when I mixed this up. It was Thick. kinda like paste.filling and you may need a spoon to eat like a pudding.
Smells good prior to mixing. After I mixed it with water the first time It was an odd attempt at vanilla but a tweak will make this good.
I'M RNY Gastric bypass patient so this 3-4 times a day def fills you and gives 60 grams of whey protein and many vitamins needed.
add a pinch of flavor and yumm. Vitacost has the best price on the web.

Another Obscene Ornament Ticket Written In South Carolina
Reporter: Associated Press
Monday, May 7, 2012
For the second time in a year, a motorist has been ticketed in South Carolina for displaying a replica of testicles on a vehicle.
A Spartanburg County sheriff's deputy stopped a truck Sunday evening after noticing the "anatomically correct" display on the rear bumper. The incident report says the driver removed the display after being stopped but he was arrested for driving without a license. He was also given a warning ticket for having an obscene display.
Last July, a Berkeley County woman was ticketed for having a similar display on the back of her truck.
That case is to go to trial in municipal court in the town of Bonneau. That trial has been delayed three times and no new trial date has been set.

D800 and D800E
Which camera is right for you?
Every Nikon DSLR camera uses an optical low pass filter (OLPF) in front of its sensor to slightly blur the image at a pixel level in order to reduce the occurrence of false colors and moiré that can appear when shooting repetitive and/or fine patterns. For the vast majority of photographers the D800 provides an ideal balance between sharpness and effectively prevented moiré and false color, ideal for shooting using all file formats. D800E is a specialized camera that removes the "effect" of the OLPF which results in a slight gain in sharpness and resolution and is recommended for studio and still life professionals but carries an increased possibility that moiré and false color will appear.
D800 and D800E Image Comparison
Comparison of false color and moiré
With the D800E, false color and moiré may be noticeable when shooting repetitive and/or fine patterns.
Comparison of resolution
Compared to the D800, the D800E reproduces textures with slightly higher resolution for sharper rendering and greater depth.
What Else is Different?
Other than the very slight image quality differences described above, the D800 and D800E perform exactly the same. Focus speed, exposure metering, shooting speed, movie recording, accessory compatibility, control location and function, and all other aspects are identical.
Added ISO settings of Lo-1 (ISO 50 equivalent), Hi-1 (ISO 12,800 equivalent) and Hi-2 (ISO 25,600 equivalent) extend versatility.
Continuous shooting at up to 4 fps at full FX-format resolutionCommercial image quality teams with speed and handling to create new shooting possibilities—in the studio or on location. Shoot DX-format images up to 6fps using the optional MB-D12 Multi Power Battery Pack and batteries other than the EN-EL15
Rugged magnesium alloy constructionEffectively protected from invasive dust, moisture and tested to exceed 200,000 cycles.
As your multimedia work grows in importance, know that the D800 is compatible with a growing selection of third party video accessories.

Product Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
Is there a definitive date for the D800 to be in the market..? I understand that due to the floods in Asia, there is a delay. ..?
I have my name on local dealers wait lists, as well as have pre-ordered online. From calling dealers it is clear that they are getting limited numbers, but fulfilling them based on their wait lists, so that's why nobody ever has stock on hand, because the wait lists are "the longest they have ever seen." This clearly shows that Nikon is doing a poor job getting stock to dealers, but perhaps they are not accustomed to success on this level.
This information probably does not help you, but realize that there are many many people in the same position as you, and it will all work out eventually.
NIKON, please bump up your production to accomodate the demand for this product, as well as the D800E which is even more difficult to get!
Both cameras perform excellent in low light.
Obviously the D800 is newest, largest file size ever for Nikon and the video capability.
Think over your needs, video? huge file size? probably some added RAM if not replacing computer...
Really these are two different cams with different features.
Both will astound in low light if thats your main concern...
Hope this helps...

Please visit our Learn and Explore website for Photography Techniques:
But, I present that speculation to the good judgment of you, the experts on this forum, to be supported if true or corrected if necessary. I understand that due to inexperience, I may be way off base here and that's why I'm asking.
You should be able to shoot the D7000 to ISO 800 without any problem....and up to 1250 will still produce reasonably clean images. With the D800 you will shoot about 2 stops more. The D600 is actually better for low light and when I had mine I regularly shot at ISO3200 without hesitation. Unfortunately I had 3 bad copies with oil on the sensor and I moved up the D800.
Unless you are planning on printing large size images save your money and don't buy the D800....invest in better quality lenses for your D7000.
By the way I'm a random person on the internet and have no association with Nikon.
If you compare it to it's closest competitor, the Canon 5D Mark III, the Nikon D800 is very reasonable. By comparison, the Canon model is overpriced at $3,300-$3,500, about $500 more than the D800. To me, in this class of camera, the D800 is clearly a better value.
For me, it is worth every penny I paid for it.
Does this mead the card was already formatted or am I doing something wrong?
I have read that some D800's have focus problems with the left side focus points. How can I test for this problem?
Has Nikon fixed the left focus issues on the D 800? Ready to buy but don't want problems!!!
If you have not already, I would suggest that you go ahead and purchase your D800. If you are concerned about the focus issue there are several sites with instructions on how to test it to verify if you have an issue. I tested mine (purchases 6 months ago) and it does not have the left focus issue.
I am an engineer and sincerely believe through my experience that once a product is opened then it is done and for sure you will have to open it again for same or other reason. One can not bring the same quality of workmanship when compared to factory quality be it CAMERA or CAR.
I have faulty piece and believe me and I know it feel you see your hard earned $3k burnt.
Besides the crop modes, is there any possibility to shoot raw at less than the 36 megapixel size?
It look like the answer is no. And a raw withouth all pixel will not be a raw. 70 Mo by raw will calm the index for some.
I guess if someone want less pixel in there raw they should probably shoot in medium (or small) tiff mode...
"In terms of the buffer, Nikon quotes 16, 17 or 20 uncompressed, lossless or compressed RAW files respectively in the 36 Megapixel / 14 bit mode. JPEG shooters can capture up to 56 Large Fine 36 Megapixel JPEGs in a burst, and if you're willing to increase the compression or reduce the resolution, you can increase this to 100 frames."

Would fashion and Beauty photogs be better off with the (d800) rather than the d800E?
Pixel size in microns = (Sensor Longside / Image Longside) * 1000
D800 Sensor Longside = 35.9
D800 Image Longside = 7360
Hope this helps
the recording time on the d800 is stated as 29 min. 59 sec in a single clipwill the camera stop recording oe will it start a new file
Are the EN-EL18 Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries compatible with the D800 as long as you use the BL-5 Battery Chamber for the MB-D12 Multi Power Battery?
Will D800 correct for barrel and pincushion distortion in-camera when using Nikon lenses like 24-120 & 28-300?

Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 4 Answers 1 vote Best answer Who knows? This question is really not answerable, because both the kyurems have attacking stats based on reshiram and zekrom, my guess is that attack and sp. attack would be monstrous, and defenses would be a bit low and speed would be medium. Hope this helps! answered Jul 29, 2013 by LeDragónTamer selected Jul 29, 2013 by !Barx101! Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes I'd probably say base 170 Atk and Sp. Atk Base 125 HP Base 95 Spe Base 100 SpD and Def I Just based that off Kyurem-B/Kyurem-W and put whatever stat was higher. XD But if you did it ingame I know what the nature/EVs would be! Exactly the same as Kyurems. c: answered Jul 29, 2013 by Sempiternus Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes As XtremeCharizard said, we can't really tell you, but this is their stats combined and then taken the average of the combined stats HP- remains 125 since Kyurem's HP will not suddenly decrease because eit is combined with Reshiram and Zekrom Attack- would become a base 133 which is 401(.3333..) at max Defence-would become a base 103 which would be 335 at max Special Attack-would become a base 133 which would be 401 at max Special defense- would become a base 103 which would be 335 at max Speed- would become a base 95 which would be 317 at max These are just the averages and together they would make him have a base 692 stat. Another variation will be added quickly answered Jul 29, 2013 by Aeternis edited Jul 29, 2013 by Aeternis Normal Kyurem has a total 660 stat and the transformations have total 700, think that both the Reshiram and Zekrom were fused, then it must be a lot more powerful. well the other variations have already been added, so yeah... normal Kyurem has a base stat total of 660, And I clearly stated that these are just the averages of their combined stats baring HP and Speed. Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes My old friend math helped me answer this question.The stats would be: Hp: 125 Atk:170 Def:93 Sp.Atk:170 Sp.Def:93 Speed:95 Total:746 answered Jul 29, 2013 by Infiniti Please log in or register to add a comment. Related questions Is it Possible to splice Kyrem, Zekrom and Reshiram all together? Does the DNA splicers only work for Kyurem if you have Reshiram or Zekrom? Do the Reshiram / Zekrom and Kyurem have to be from your White / Black 2 game in order to become White / Black Kyurem? What would happen if Kyurem-B/W had a move which only it could get, then you separate them? What's the point of merging kyurem and zekrom/reshiram? If you use the DNA splicer on kyrem, can you undo it? What is this thing about fusing w/ Kyurem and Zekrom and Reshiram?

The Cure - Curiouser and Curiouser
Adam Sweeting, Spin, July 1987
IT WAS THE very last edition of The Tube, the most interesting pop show on British TV. After five eventful years, the program had finally succumbed to political pressure and maybe simple fatigue. Between tearful farewells and regretful retrospectives, The Cure took the stage to soothe and excite the studio audience. Presenter Paula Yates had a point when she said there was something about the Cure that made you want to dress up in a teddy bear suit and snuggle up beside them. Robert Smith didn't comment. Instead, he sang 'Why Can't I Be You', wriggling at the microphone in a shapeless suit and training shoes, rolling his eyes and pouting coyly through his bright pink lipstick. Looking at this androgynous figure, who might have been on temporary release from some sort of institution for disturbed children, it would be easy to conclude that Robert is a very strange boy. Actually, he's very shrewd, and in his own silent way, rather ruthless. Consequently, The Cure have proved more resilient than The Tube.

Lady Gaga thanks fans before heading into surgery for hip injury
Lady Gaga is finally getting the treatment she needs for her recent show injury. The Mother Monster was forced to cancel her tour over a hip injury that left her unable to walk. After revealing the problem last week, she is getting treated by doctors for what hopefully will be a speedy recovery.
"Going in for surgery now," she tweeted. "Thank you so much for sending me love and support. I will be dreaming of you."
The injury in question is a labral tear in her right hip. That is the muscle that holds the hip joint in place, so it's no wonder that she went into surgery for the problem in under a week. Hopefully the fact that she was hiding the injury for a while doesn't cause it to have a negative affect on her health.

ImageLinks Laconic Main Quotes main index Narrative
"Every first-person game seems to have these tiny little enemies that hop at your face, are hard to hit and, worse of all, are unsatisfying to kill."
They probably ain't gonna kill you like them Demonic Spiders over there, but they're certainly going to harass you and slow you down, making it easier for something else to kill you.
Almost every video game has them. These are the enemies that are just a speed bump, even if they are not outright dangerous. They're not difficult to defeat, but because of the frequency with which they appear, they can become a significant hindrance to the player, and they usually don't give you enough of a reward to make fighting them truly worth it, either.
They're the goddamn bats, man.
A key trait is that they generally don't pose too large of a threat on their own; they're more annoying than deadly. When an enemy starts posing an actual threat, then it's a case of Demonic Spiders and, in extreme cases, the Boss in Mook Clothing.
Note that this designation applies to any type of non-threatening enemy whose purpose is to stall and harass the player. Goddamned Bats are common in Platformers, where they enjoy disturbing precision jumping.
They don't have to be bats. The best definition of the Goddamned Bats trope is that they are not only common enemies that will swamp you, and they are not only disgustingly easy to kill on their own, but they are also unsatisfying to fight - they take no skill to defeat, in RPGs they don't provide much (if any) experience or gold when beaten, and they aren't even particularly interesting as enemies, and are sometimes flat-out annoying.
Other following factors can contribute to a game having Goddamned Bats:
— David Wong, Cracked.com
See Goddamned Boss for bosses with these characteristics. For literal bats that God has damned, see Bat out of Hell.

Likely to sell-out! The Sydney Opera House Guided Backstage Tour regularly sells out weeks in advance, so book now to avoid disappointment. You'll gain "exclusive access" to areas of the Sydney Opera House normally reserved for staff and performers on a two-hour backstage tour of one of the world's "must-see" attractions. Sit in the orchestra pit, stand where legends have performed, go inside the stars' dressing rooms and hear about the real-life dramas that go on behind the curtain.
- Backstage two-hour tour of the Sydney Opera House, one of the world's most famous performing arts centers
- Exclusive access to areas normally reserved for performers and staff
- Private breakfast in the Green Room
- Illuminating commentary from your expert guide
What You Can Expect
Your two-hour backstage tour of the Opera House begins at 7:00am to ensure you can access the "inner sanctum areas", normally reserved for performers and crew and restricted later in the day. After gaining exclusive insights into the inner workings of the famous Opera House, you will head back to the Green Room (closed on Sundays and Public Holidays), the private domain of stars, performers and staff, for a full Australian breakfast with your guide. After breakfast you then have the rest of the day free to enjoy in Sydney.
As a would-be performer on this backstage tour of the Sydney Opera House, you can let your imagination run wild. Imagine:
- Standing on-stage in the world-famous Concert Hall or Opera Theatre, emulating superstars such as Bryn Terfel, Dame Joan Sutherland and Rudolph Nureyev
- Striding through the orchestra pit like a maestro, and stepping up onto the conductor's podium, baton in hand
- Relaxing in the stars' dressing room complete with Steinway grand piano, of course!
- Exploring the working areas of the Opera House, the domain of stagehands and crew
Customer Reviews
February 2014
good but no cameras inside most places
January 2014
The tour was interesting and the tour guide lively and knowledgeable. Breakfast in the 'green room' was wonderful and made the early start all the more worthwhile.

When Peter Arnold, Genesee Country Village & Museum president and CEO, set out last year to build and fly the world's first replica of a Civil War manned balloon – the Intrepid – little did he know his dream could collapse from a nationwide helium shortage. But he also didn't bargain that one of the country's most iconic retailers would step forward to deliver a miracle at the last minute, literally raising the project off the ground.
Thanks to the generous support of Macy's – a brand synonymous with the giant helium-filled balloons that grace Manhattan's skies every Thanksgiving morning – the Intrepid will begin flying this July 4. Weather permitting, the balloon will take guests 300 feet (32 stories) into the sky, simulating what some of the world's first military pilots (a.k.a. aeronauts) experienced 150 years ago. "We were looking for a miracle. The museum was seemingly out of options to secure helium after having placed innumerable calls to dealers, government officials and even decommissioned research laboratories across the U.S.," Arnold said. "Then we heard from Macy's, which was able to donate the 50,000 cubic feet we needed. We're simply ecstatic, as we were within days of having to suspend our opening. 'The Magic of Macy's' has never been more real."
First announced this past February, the Intrepid project has captured the imagination of families, educators, historians and aviation enthusiasts across North America. Renowned documentary filmmaker Ken Burns and adventure balloonist and Virgin Group Chairman Sir Richard Branson have both praised the historic reconstruction. "Supporting education is an important aspect of our community giving, made even more relevant in this case since Macy's was founded during the Civil War era," said Russell Schutte, senior vice president / director of stores, Macy's Midwest. "With our unique connection to helium ballooning, we had the opportunity to help Genesee Country Village & Museum fulfill its dream to open this one-of-a-kind, interactive exhibit. The result will benefit not only the people of Western New York, but visitors who will travel from across the U.S. and overseas to experience the wonder and history of flight."
Starting July 4, the the world's only Civil War manned balloon replica, which can carry up to four passengers, will soar as high as 300 feet above the museum's 700-acres. "Our launch of the Intrepid brings to life one of the most unique elements of American history in a manner never before attempted," said Arnold. "As Civil War remembrances occur across the nation during its 150th anniversary, we believed there was no better time to undertake this initiative. The balloon and the planned Civil War encampment surrounding the launch site further enhance our authentic 19th-century village—the third largest collection of historic buildings in America."
While historically balloons were fueled by hydrogen, the modern Intrepid flies with helium. Like the original Civil War balloons, it is tethered to the ground for optimal convenience and safety. Approximately 46,000 cubic feet of helium is required to fill the 44-foot-diameter piloted balloon. With its basket, it will be 72 feet tall and will probably be visible for 25 miles around.
Visitors will have the opportunity to book 15-minute flights for a nominal cost in addition to their museum entry fee. (Civil War-era photo of Intrepid)

Catharina Manchanda, the Jon and Mary Shirley Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art, and artist Victoria Haven will discuss ideas relating to the works presented in Haven's installation in the exhibition Elles: SAM—Singular Works from Seminal Women Artists at the Seattle Art Museum. Haven utilizes ephemeral objects of personal significance—such as a list of songs from a long-lost mixed tape—that have undergone a series of permutations. In each of her works the artist maps her experience and memory to a larger artistic and cultural history that remains grounded in the location of the Pacific Northwest. Other lectures in this series include:November 14, 2012: My Friend, Georgia O'Keeffe: Barney Ebsworth Reminisces December 12: Victoria Haven: Portable Monuments January 16, 2013: Together Again: Nuxalk Faces of the Sky February 20: New Visions, Old Stories: Reinstalling the Japanese Art Galleries March 20: Venus and Adonis by Paolo Veronese and Worksho April 17: What, Exactly, are the Decorative Arts?

It wasn't not so great luck, but rather a not so great car that slowed Clint Bowyer last weekend in Las Vegas. His number 33 team battled all day and got the car up to a respectible 15th place finish.
"We battled a loose-handling race car and changing track conditions all day," said Bowyer, "but were still able to score a top-15 finish and gain a few spots in points."
And the points thing is really important. After all, he may be just 39 points out of first, but there are also 17 cars between him and points leader Tony Stewart. And as we all know points are harder to come by under the new system.
But I will be two weeks before Bowyer can make up any of those points. NASCAR is off this Sunday before heading to the bullring at Bristol on March 27. It's an off week the 33 team will enjoy.
Said Bowyer, "I am looking forward to the off weekend before we head to Bristol."

The return of "starve the beast" nonsense
When will we learn that cutting taxes never prompts Congress to cut spending and always increases the deficit?
Topics: Federal Deficit, How the World Works, Taxes, Budget Showdown, Social Security, Politics News
Back in 2001, President George W. Bush told reporters during a press conference that his first round of tax cuts weren't just designed as a "fiscal stimulus." They could also be thought of as a kind of "fiscal straitjacket for Congress."
And that's good for the taxpayers, and it's incredibly positive news if you're worried about a federal government that has been growing at a dramatic pace over the past eight years and it has been.
In other words, the tax cuts were an example of the classic "starve the beast" psychology — most often associated with GOP strategist Grover Norquist. By depriving the federal government of revenue, the tax cuts would encourage Congress to be more thrifty.
As everyone knows, Bush's straitjacket restricted nothing. Bush's tax cuts busted the budget, turned Clinton's surplus into a deficit, and left the government unprepared to pay for war, recession or spiraling healthcare costs.
In fact, "starving the beast" has never worked — if we're talking about the federal government. For the last 30 years, tax cuts have always been followed by increased government spending. The reason why, as explained by Cato Institute's William Niskinen, is simple. When you enjoy the benefit of services without paying their full cost, you end up consuming more services. If you, as an individual, are required to pay your credit card bill in full at the end of each month, you will consume only as much as you can pay for out of your real income. But if you can roll over the debt, and never pay the piper, you have no incentive to live within your means. The same principle works for government in general.
The conservative hope is that somewhere down the line, the federal government will finally reach a point where it can't keep borrowing money to pay the bills, and it will finally be forced to cut spending. California offers an instructive example. From a conservative perspective, one might argue that starving the beast has worked in California. Voters made it very difficult to raise taxes but kept adding to the state's spending commitments. Since states must balance their budgets or declare bankruptcy, California was finally forced into making major cuts to services.

EDMONTON - Alberta Health Services says it is now accepting bids from private companies interested in a $3-billion contract to handle all of Edmonton's medical testing, centred around a new state-of-the art laboratory.
The public-private partnership will require the winning bidder to construct the new central lab facility and run it for 15 years, while also taking over responsibility for urgent lab tests performed in hospitals. About 2,000 workers will be transferred to the new provider.
"There are some significant, well-trained, well-resourced companies that are in this business that are very interested in coming to Alberta," AHS's interim CEO and president Rick Trimp said Wednesday. "They see it as a market opportunity within Canada to come in and establish a world-class lab."
Ideally, the new facility will be located close to the University of Alberta campus to accommodate medical student training, though this is not a requirement, AHS said.
Trimp said an updated lab facility is a necessity in Edmonton, since the current setup does not have the space or technology to handle rapidly growing demand. Projections show the number of lab tests processed in Alberta will climb from 68 million to 138 million by 2026.
In addition, he said the current system is still too dependent on paper copies of requisitions and results rather than electronic records, and there is no capacity to do sophisticated gene or protein testing. Those specialized tests are now sent to Ontario or the United States, often making patients wait six to eight weeks before they get a diagnosis and can begin treatment.
"Ultimately this (new system) will mean shorter wait times for test results," Trimp said. "For a cancer patient awaiting a diagnosis to begin treatment, the difference between waiting four weeks and waiting a day or less cannot be understated."
Critics, however, have taken issue with the plan to hand more responsibility to private interests.
The current lab system in Edmonton is already partially operated by a private contractor, Dynalife, which handles some tests referred from hospitals along with community lab services such as blood and urine tests ordered by family doctors. AHS and Covenant Health provide the lab work for acute-care hospitals and urgent care centres.
Under the new model, all medical tests will be managed by a private provider, which will likely need to operate a satellite facility at each of the hospitals to process urgent tests on-site, Trimp said. Examples include tests needed to gauge the severity of heart attacks or to ensure blood and tissue donations match the patients receiving them.
Critics, including some pathologists, have suggested the expanded privatization could negatively impact standards of care and research freedom.
"When you give away these types of contracts on this scale, it's not just a question of money, it's a question of control," NDP MLA David Eggen said.
Elisabeth Ballermann, president of the Health Sciences Association of Alberta, said there is no need to hire a private company to build a lab when the province has shown it is willing to borrow money for infrastructure. Liberal Leader Raj Sherman said previous attempts to privatize lab services failed, including one in Calgary, in part because such moves tend to raise costs.
But Trimp said the contract will include strong safeguards that will surpass the quality standards of the current system.
The Request for Proposals will close on March 12. The winning bidder will be expected to start work in 2015 when Dynalife's contract comes to an end and the new lab must be up and running by 2017.
Trimp would not reveal the names of any of the interested companies.
Workers transferred to the new provider will get comparable salaries and benefits, and be allowed to keep their union status, but may not receive the same pension scheme, AHS said.
