Like others have said, if you are looking for something to lengthen or volumize your lashes, this is not the mascara for you. It basically just makes your lashes darker.
It will probably be perfect for my daughter who was blessed with unbelievably long and full lashes and doesn't need anything but a lash tint.
This mascara is a bit runny which I don't mind, since you can add several layer on without worrying it would be clumpy. And I can say it doesn't clump my lashes at all. It takes longer time to dry, so I have to put it on even before my foundation since I don't have time to wait for it to dry. I can still see my lashes darkened and fuller, plus a little lengthening too. So for the price it's not bad at all. I would buy again since it's so cheap. However, this does smudge. I apply my make up at 7 in the morning and by noon when I go home, I see some smudging under my eyes (although I only brush my upper lashes). I guess that is because this is not waterproof. With those of you who have watery eyes or are planning to use this on wet, rainy days, just beware of this. But again for the price, I love this for my natural style of lashes.

I am obcessed with mascaras. My lashes are dark and thick, but they don't have the length or curl I'd like, so I'm always up for trying new mascaras. I bought the Wet N Wild Mega Protein Mascara because my favorite mascara had dried out and I was inbetween pay checks. I had to buy something dirt cheap. I wish I had never made the mistake of buying this product. Not only is the price dirt cheap, but so is the quality.
One of the things that attracted me to this product was it's promise to nourish my lashes with it's enriched formula. After wearing this mascara everyday for couple months, there was no noticeable change in the length or thickness of my bare lashes. I don't have any problems with my eyelashes falling out. Perhaps if I had such a problem, I would see some kind of difference.
The brush itself was very standard with spiraling bristles. The wand was relatively tiny, good for getting every individual lash. If I was to compare it to another mascara's brush, I would definitely say Maybelline Great Lash, except smaller. There is really nothing special about it. There are so many new mascara's on the market with innovations in brush design that add so much length and curl to the lashes that this brush did not impress me.
The formula was absolutely disgusting. It just would not dry and I ended up getting black marks all around my eye area that were difficult to remove. I would often have to redo very elaborate eye make up, because it took so much make-up remover to remove the black smears that were over my face. It is the smugdiest mascara I've ever used. I can't say it's the clumpiest though, all though it did clump a bit. It didn't really do much for my lashes at all. They wasn't a dramtatic difference in length or volume. I really just hate the formula. It's the worse mascara I've ever tried.
I love Wet n Wild. For a cheaper than cheap drugstore brand, it has some great products including their highly pigmented Color Icon palettes and their gel liners. The afforementioned products are definitely comparable with MAC. I always find myself running to Wet n Wild for great dupes and reliable beauty products. I love almost every product I've tried from them , but I hate hate hate HATE this mascara.
I would suggest a macara like Rimmel GlamEyes or Rimmel Sexy Curves. If you are willing to invest in a high end product, try DiorShow.
Just stay away from this mascara.

So I've been using Covergirl's LashExact mascara for a while, but after buying a new tube, my eyelashes started falling out like crazy! They might have changed the mixture. Anyways, so I needed a new mascara, pronto, and I wanted to find a nourishing one. I found the Wet N' Wild Megaprotein at Walmart (in the white and green packaging) and decided to try it because 1) It was so cheap 2)It claims to be nourishing 3)The packaing was nice.
And so far, so good! My eyelashes stopped falling out immediately ( I stopped using the Covergirl one). As others have said, it does nothing for volume, but I do find it gives great length to my eyelashes. I got it in Very Black, and it's a nice dark black. It also smudges a little bit, but I don't mind too much. I'll see how it goes, as I've only been using it for a few days, but I would probably buy this one again.

My sister used this and her lashes looked stunning. She isn't very good at putting mascara on, but she did so well with this one. I'm not exactly sure what it does for length or volume. I've never been able to tell with any mascara. I guess it is because I already have long, fairly thick lashes(not trying to brag). I think it is decent and is better for your lashes than other mascaras.
I paid under $3 CAD for this from Walmart and I bought the tube with the new white and green packaging. I'm not sure if they changed the formula but I actually found the formula to be too dry. It was so dry that it barely coated my lashes. This did nothing for my skimpy asian lashes. It neither lengthened or volumized, and my lashes looked like there was nothing on them. I really like the small brush but the formula was a disappointment. I will be tossing this in the garbage.
I did nottttt like this mascara. At first I thought I could get by with using it a few times and it'd be okay. It's not. it is really, really runny. Very Runny. I bought it for $1.99, i was just in the mood to try it, but have no plans on doing that agian. It also "pieced" my lashes together into sections and din't look good. But the color is really dark and nice.
This is a very basic, plain black mascara. It doesn't flake or smear off, which is a big plus. But it's a bit clumpy - more than a coat or two will give you spider lashes. Also, you won't get a lot of length or volume with this. What you will get is dramatically BLACK lashes. This is a very dark black mascara. I wish the formula was a bit better because the color is perfect!

I like this mascara. I mean, it's alright. It doesn't clump if you apply it the right way, and it looks pretty natural. I bought it in black. But I recently bought Cover Girl's Lash Blast Luxe (I haven't used it yet, but I think it's going to be a lot better than WnW mascara. It was more expensive too, and the packaging is better). This mascara is okay if you want to apply quick mascara before going out. It doesn't make a huge difference in your lash length or volume, but it's alright. I wouldn't repurchase. I'm going to spend more money for the good stuff next time :)

Australian bank ANZ has begun a four-week trial of a mobile wallet service with Visa, which it believes will be the "way of the future" for making small payments.
Fifty staff in the Sydney and Melbourne offices of ANZ and Visa have been given an iPhone case containing an NFC-enabled microSD card, supplied by DeviceFidelity, that allows them to turn their phone into a virtual wallet.
The staff will be able to make payments of up to A$100 (US$100 approx) using a prepaid ANZ account stored on the microSD card at any merchant equipped with a contactless payment terminals. Some 20,000 retail outlets in Australia currently have the technology installed.
ANZ's Sam Qubrosi said: "This is all about making banking simpler and more practical for our customers. Mobile contactless payment is the next step in this evolution and we're excited to be breaking new ground with this trial."
Visa country manager Vipin Kalra said the trial marked the start of a new phase for payments in Australia, adding the possibilities of the near field communication technology were "endless".
"There's no doubt that mobile Visa payWave will be the way of the future and I'm sure that the participants will find mobile payments to be a convenient and easy replacement for cash, ideal for fast, simple transactions," he said.
"The possibilities with mobile are endless, your mobile could allow more than just payments — you could manage your account, detect fraud and receive real time offers from merchants.
"Your mobile could become the new virtual wallet — it's in the future but that's definitely where we're headed."
All Visa payWave transactions, including those initiated by a mobile phone, are backed by both Visa's Zero Liability protection and ANZ's Fraud Money Back Guarantee, ensuing cardholders are not liable for any unauthorised transactions provided they report problems promptly to their bank or card issuer. The technology also allows for the payment application to be quickly deactivated if the phone is lost or stolen.

Kiwanis camp to get a makeover
Published on Wed, Mar 5, 2008 by
Avani Nadkarni
Read More
After operating successfully for nearly 20 years, Northwest Kiwanis Camp coordinator Sharron Sherfick thinks the site is ready for some changes, both physical and internal.
"We want to have the camp be even greater than it has been," Sherfick said, addressing the Sequim chapter of the Kiwanis Club last month.
The camp, which was started by the Kiwanis Club of Sequim in 1989 and established on a 40-acre site on Chimacum's Beausite Lake in 1993, provides a unique weeklong summertime experience for people 6 to 60 with physical or developmental disabilities. Six peninsula Kiwanis Club chapters now assist the Sequim club in operating the camp - two Port Angeles groups, one in Port Townsend and three that are newly helping this year - the Gig Harbor, the South Whidbey Island and the Anacortes chapters.
The camp has been at full capacity for the past several years, with 100 campers on a waiting list in 2007, and maintenance is needed, Sherfick said. Activities such as therapeutic horseback riding and fishing provide an enriching experience but require constant upkeep.
Sherfick said vigorous fundraising, including an October cruise, a July McTakeover event and, the biggest, the upcoming March 29 Port Townsend golf tournament, have helped the camp administrators do some much-needed physical remodeling including new bathrooms, bunkhouses, special cots for those with disabilites and roof maintenance. Sherfick added that Sequim's Allen Roofing has agreed to donate all materials needed to repair the roofs.
All the changes aren't physical, however.
Starting this year, Sherfick said, the camp administrators have agreed to increase the number of sessions from four to five and plan to add a session per year until they have reached 10 weeks.
"We're moving slowly," Sherfick said. "We did have issues ... funding counselors for all the sessions last year. (However) we're confident we can do it."
Sherfick announced to
Sequim chapter members that new incentives have been added for counselors. She said that the ideal of 25 counselors can be a challenge to obtain.
"We've developed an internship program that offers college students college credits while being counselors," she said. "They need to come up with a learning plan."
According to Sherfick, 11 community colleges and universities have said they are on-board with the internship program and 85 percent of past counselors are studying and planning to work in special education or pediatrics.
Since the Sequim chapter founded the camp, said board member Shell McGuire, the members have a special interest in seeing it continue to succeed. Sherfick informed them that their dedication had paid off.
"Your club has provided the greatest percentage of volunteers," said Sherfick, before accepting a $5,000 check from club members. "(Kiwanis Club of Sequim) is definitely helping the camp succeed."
Lending a Hand
Northwest Kiwanis Camp coordinator Sharron Sherfick said there are several ways to donate to the camp:
• Donate money
Those who want to contribute cash can send a tax-deductible donation to the camp at PO Box 1227, Port Hadlock, WA 98339.
• Become a counselor/volunteer
Sherfick said they always are looking for volunteers or people over the age of 16 to be counselors. A new program that gives college students credit is available.
• Rent the site off-season
The Beausite Lake site is available for rent to nonprofit organizations during the fall, winter and spring. Proceeds go straight back into the camp.
• Attend a fundraiser
The next big fundraiser for the camp is the 11th annual Kiwanis Tournament at the Port Townsend Golf Club on March 31.

@WhenenRome – i wish i could fill in the blanks, Joe framed Jack and Siobhan has left him, so how in the heck does he get back in her good graces? I'm so dying of curiousity!
amylh322 says:
I'm so sad that SoapNet ends the series in 1981 (I think around Thanksgiving?) It's hard to find out what happened with the s/ls that were happening and i would love to! It had just sort of changed direction, Kimberky was gone and Siobhan was beginning her police career. I really want to know what happened with Faith and the whole Egyptian story if anyone has video! Oh and Barry left but was traded for his sister, Elisabeth Jane
WhenenRome says:
Walt Willey spent only a few months as Joe Novak, but was charismatic and believable in the role. Unfortunately, Carrell Myers was woefully miscast as Siohbhan… especially when compared to her predecessor, Marg Helgenberger. (The show never added Myers to the opening, so they must have figured it out quickly.) The next Siobhan, Barbara Blackburn looked to be quite good – with an energy very similar to Helgenberger's. But her time was cut short due to RH's cancellation.

Memorial Oaks photo request
You requested a photo of a grave in Memorial Oaks cemetery in Houston, Texas. I went there today and asked them for the location of the grave, but they said they couldn't give me the location because I'm not family.
I would be more than happy to shoot the grave if you would be kind enough to call them and ask them the location of the grave.

RE: Springer Family
Yes, I would like additional information of Dolores Springer's family. I would appreciate it.
Loved the photos you put in in on your grandmother's and grandfather's site. This makes the person become more REAL to me, seeing photos.
At least we are half- cousins down the line.

Looking at your great-grandmother's first husband- I saw that Otto Springer was married to her.
I have been doing genealogy a long time and been on findagrave.com about as long as you. Just noticed your link to Otto Springer.
Would like to correspond with you to get information on your great-grandmother's line-especially descendants of his daughter, Dolores, which you descend, I believe- I hope. Have information back through Otto probably 4 generations back to Elias and Nancy Barker Sparrow. If interested, email email@example.com Will be happy to help you.

Thanks for your photo of Amelia Grigsby's marker from 2009. Her marker is already very badly damaged in the 3 years since you took the photo, so it's really great being able to see it in the better state it was in then!

Jersey city, n.J., man pleads guilty to
robbing federal credit union
April 11, 2012 |
NEWARK, N.J. – A Jersey City, N.J., man today admitted robbing the Liberty Savings Federal Credit Union in Jersey City in November 2010, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Stanley P. Powell, 42, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge William J. Martini in Newark federal court to an Indictment charging him with one count of bank robbery.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
On Nov. 23, 2010, Powell entered the Liberty Savings Federal Credit Union in Jersey City wearing dark clothing, including a dark, hooded vest bearing a large hood-to-waist length print of a human skeleton. Powell began yelling and cursing at the teller as he demanded money. Two bank tellers put money on the counter. Powell stuffed the money into a bag and fled the bank on foot until he reached the home of a relative in Jersey City. Powell stood on the front porch of the relative's residence and began transferring the money from his bag into his pants pockets when he was approached by members of the Jersey City Police Department. Upon seeing law enforcement, Powell attempted to flee but was apprehended.
The bank robbery charge carries a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine or twice the gain to the defendant or loss to any victims. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 8, 2012.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark; officers of the Jersey City Police Department, under the direction of Chief Thomas J. Comey; and the NJ Transit Police, under the direction of Chief Christopher Trucillo, with the investigation.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jane H. Yoon of the U.S. Attorney's Office Criminal Division in Newark.
Defense counsel: Lisa Mack Esq., Assistant Federal Public Defender, Newark

As a young boy 30 years ago, Jonathan Jackson would wake up Saturdays eagerly anticipating the day. He and his father had made a morning ritual of strolling down the streets of his Third Ward neighborhood -- an affluent community of doctors, lawyers and other black professionals -- to get their hair cut. They passed women's salons, corner cafes and produce peddlers to arrive at the heartbeat of the black male community: the barbershop on Almeda Road. The haircut would take only a few minutes, but it wasn't the primary reason for the visit. This shop was a gathering place, and the better part of Jackson's Saturday mornings were spent at the neighborhood barbershop, bonding naturally with his father.
Jackson didn't realize it then, but his community was a thriving business center, proud of its self-sufficient status. "I didn't see it, but I know from my father and uncle that Almeda had a lot of nightlife activity." In the era of segregation, this tree-lined district just south of downtown flourished. Even in the '60s and '70s, as families began departing for newly integrated suburban areas, times were still good for the black businesses.
Jackson felt confident about his community as he left for college in Alabama. But the bad news came in a later telephone call from his father. The '80s oil bust had deflated Houston's economy, taking the Third Ward and Almeda down with it. His father told him he might as well stay in Alabama, that there weren't any good business opportunities back in the Bayou City.
Jackson heeded the advice as long as he could. He found work in Atlanta, but after eight years away from home, he made his decision: It's not where you are, it's who you know, Jackson thought. In 1988 the young man arrived back in Houston, stunned by the sights along his old section of Almeda. The streets sported boarded-up storefronts and aging buildings. But what others dismissed as urban blight Jackson viewed as opportunities. He knew the vitality of bygone eras from his memories as a child -- and he knew these blocks could be revitalized.
Of all the deficiencies, one stood out for Jackson. There was no Saturday-morning socializing center, no traditional barbershop to bring together what was left of the neighborhood. He took the money he'd saved up and went to work.
Jackson's personal experiences with the area are supported by the hard statistics compiled from research by the Third Ward Redevelopment Council.
A 1998 council report pegged the population at 55,000 but noted that the exodus of shoppers and residents takes away an estimated $345 million annually from the Third Ward. Much of that money heads into the newer commercial cores of Meyerland, Sharpstown and even the Galleria and Rice Village.
It didn't used to be that way.
Almeda, a backbone of the ward, was once a primary route into downtown. It stretches from the South Loop east of the Astrodome, skirts the eastern edge of Hermann Park and ends on the north near the central campus of Houston Community College.
"There were a lot of major chains here in the '70s when Almeda was a main artery of getting into downtown," remembers Bart Lewis, owner of Almeda Tire and Battery. "It was like Westheimer over here." Stores such as Weingarten, Jack in the Box and Burger King dotted the streets.
The end of that era arrived after the broad concrete ribbon of State Highway 288, which now parallels Almeda to the east. While it gave rush-hour Houstonians a new freeway into and out of downtown from the south, 288 stole traffic from the business corridor and crippled its property values. Most of the chain outlets moved to other burgeoning areas. Independent businesses had to fight to hold on.
That struggle for survival followed an earlier one, when racial barriers finally gave way to new opportunities for blacks in other areas of the region. "When integration came, blacks kind of wandered off because they didn't have to stay in Third Ward if they didn't want to," says Troy Julian, owner of Soul Scissors barbershop and art gallery. "People began moving out to the suburbs."
" "Blockbusting' began in the late '70s, and homeowners and business owners began relocating to places like Missouri City," explains Kent Hadnot, executive director of the development council.
The generation gap contributed to the economic shift. "A lot of businesses around here were owned by blacks, and they worked hard and put their kids through college," Jackson says. "The kids would get one or two degrees, and do you think they wanted to come back and work as a waitress in the family restaurant?"
Additionally, services offered in the Almeda corridor were geared toward a younger population. "We didn't have a lot of regular shops; we just had specialty stores," Jackson says. "The older people didn't need any specialty items -- they just needed to buy groceries."
Those weren't the only problems facing the pioneers revitalizing the inner-city area. One year after Jackson started his Cut and Shine barbershop in 1995, he returned to his Jeep one night after leaving a convenience store a few blocks up from his shop, and found five teenagers confronting him -- one of them pointing a gun at his face.

Detailed Description:
This proposed study is a multi-site, single-masked (blinded), randomized controlled, parallel group clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of an at home PC-based auditory training as a supplement to standard-of-care hearing-aid intervention in veterans treated for hearing loss, with or without previous hearing-aid experience. The participants will be assigned randomly to one of three groups, with hearing-aid use stratified within the groups: (1) Group 1, HA+AT, in which the participants will receive standard-of-care hearing-aid intervention (HA) and complete the four-week LACE auditory training program (AT); (2) Group 2, HA, with the participants receiving only standard-of-care hearing-aid intervention (HA); and (3) Group 3, HA+DL, in which the participants will receive standard-of-care hearing-aid intervention (HA) and complete four-weeks of placebo auditory training, consisting of directed listening (DL) to books-on-tape. The participants in each group will attend four test sessions. During Session 1 the informed consent process will be completed, baseline assessments will be made to ensure that the participants meet the study inclusion criteria (page 52), testing of predictor variables (page 57-58) will be completed, and all hearing aids will be assessed for correct functionality (page 53). The participants then will be assigned randomly to a study group. Session 2 will occur four weeks after Session 1. During Session 2, baseline performance on the outcome measures will be assessed (page 54-57), as will performance on the predictor variables. Following testing, the participants in Groups 1 and 3 will receive training in the use of the AT or DL programs. Session 3 will occur at the end of the 4-week experimental training period. During Session 3 all participants will be retested on the outcome measures to assess short-term intervention outcomes. During Session 4, which will occur at seven-months post-study enrollment (i.e., six-months post training completion for Groups 1 and 3), all participants will be retested on all outcome measures to examine the long-term outcomes. In Sessions 2-4, the stability of hearing-aid function will be assessed through electroacoustic measures.

I dress in a way that makes me happy with myself. And this Halloween, I'm thinking of reprising my role as Lara Croft just to give all the haters the middle finger."

Or is the goal to limit women's access to safe abortions, as Wendy Davis and many others have suggested? Whatever the reason, these laws, cloned from state to state, will result in few, if any, safe options for women seeking family planning services, screening, and other services, in addition to abortions."
Read More...Jan Hoffman writes for The New York Times: "This exchange is what psychological researchers call 'fat talk,' the body-denigrating conversation between girls and women. It's a bonding ritual they describe as 'contagious,' aggravating poor body image and even setting the stage for eating disorders. Some researchers have found that fat talk is so embedded among women that it often reflects not how the speaker actually feels about her body but how she is expected to feel about it."
Read More...Chloe Angyal writes for The Nation: "In that post I posited that, disturbing though it is, the thinspiration community is simply an exaggeration of the culture in which it exists. A grotesque exaggeration, to be sure, but hardly surprising one in a culture where women are expected to be thin at all costs, and in which more mainstream discussions of weight conflate thinness with health, beauty and self-worth."

Of course there are the dolls that look like Sesame Streetwalkers—Monster High, Winx Club, Bratz; the makeup lines for third-graders; the padded bikini tops for seven-year-olds. But a Facebook reader recently pointed out evidence of this phenomenon in the last place I'd expect: Candy Land."

"I feel pretty strongly that, going forward, all of the countries in the world - China and India included - have to be included in a carbon plan to reduce emissions of carbon," Chu said. "I think the United States can take the first step and, hopefully, China will immediately, very closely follow."
Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., responded that such a plan isn't likely to win approval from lawmakers, who have previously declined to mandate greenhouse emissions reductions absent agreement that developing nations will do the same.
"It's my honest conviction that that approach will not be enacted by the United States Congress," Bayh said. "That probably won't be good enough to get the job done."
During the campaign, Obama pledged to reduce U.S. carbon dioxide emissions by at least 80 percent by 2050. In the near term, his campaign plan called for reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 - a cut that the coal industry and the United Mine Workers union strongly oppose.
In his prepared confirmation testimony, Chu described climate change as "a growing and pressing problem.
"It is now clear that if we continue on our current path, we run the risk of dramatic, disruptive changes to our climate system in the lifetimes of our children and grandchildren," Chu told senators.

I hope this storm will be mild, or miss you guys completely. Be safe, if it does hit.
I hope this storm will be mild, or miss you guys completely. Be safe, if it does hit.
Got two messages from my town, first that full power will be restored by the weekend, second that emergency management will stay open during the nor'easter
It's been snowing here for about an hour and a half already. No street accumulation, but the trees and grass are starting to. Worried about my daughter, she has a class tonight that ends at 7:30. It's doubtful that the school will cancel, since they had to cancel classes for over all of last week and Monday. But, it's a 45 minute drive for her and the weather is not going to be good at that time. I hope she doesn't go, if the roads are getting bad.
Agree, I think Christie has handled this like a champion. His praise of Obama did not effect the election one bit. What it did show, was that people with the right attitude can work together, and that giving "the other team" credit takes nothing away from you. This should be praised as an example of how politicians should behave.
Now, back to worrying about my daughter.
Transformer blew and many towns of Northern New Jersey lost their electricity again. Hopefully they won't be without it for long. Holding my breath that our power stays on.

I hope your daughter ends up deciding to stay home crusin. ITA w/you about Christie and how he's handled this. The fact that he's being slammed for praising Obama's handling of it all by his own Party just is a huge alert signal right there on what's wrong w/politics down your way. Just left me shaking my head in sadness.
A transformer blown already in NJ? Not a good sign that's happened so early into this. Hang in there everyone and safe safe *and* warm!!
She decided to go. It was a three hour class. the teacher let them go after an hour. Certainly better than keeping them until 7:30, but why not just cancel it. She's on her way home. I, of course, am a wreck!
Judiz, do you know where the transformer is? We have about 2" of snow. The wind is picking up. I am getting nervous on so many levels.
Daughter just called, she's home. Fiance' is also home. Son is at girl friend's apartment. Husband is home. So, everyone is inside. Now we just pray that we keep power.
Last edited by cruisin; 11-08-2012 at 12:50 AM.
Glad to hear it crusin. Will keep you in my thoughts tonight, as well as everyone in the area Athena will be hitting tonight.
And so, dear Lord, it is with deep sadness that we turn over to you this young woman, whose dream to ride on a giant swan resulted in her death. Maybe it is your way of telling us... to buy American.
My friend just texted me, her house is dark again - areas of Fair Lawn and Saddle Brook dark.
seems many areas of Fair Lawn and Saddle Brook that had their power restored on Monday lost it again tonight. Three schools in Saddle Brook are dark, kids may miss school again if power isn't restored.
How did everyone fare overnight? We retained power (so far). Shoveled the sidewalk, this morning and got the trash out. All of the food that I had to get out of the refrigerator was smelling up the basement. Tried to carry it through the garage and up the driveway, but it was too slippery. So, I had to carry it all upstairs to the foyer and out the front door. Good thing I lift weights!
I just spoke to my cousins on Long Island. They haven't had power for 9 days, and there's a rumor it's not coming back until Thanksgiving.
Missing, that might be the worst story told her so far. Horrible. Not being nosy, just curious, what part of LI?

I need a new Processor I got a new laptop for Christmas, but it's nowhere near fast enough to handle any of the games I am going to play. Could someone please help me in finding a new one? Possibly a quad-core or 2.5 Ghz+ Dual Core, and if I need to replace my video card aswell please let me know. P.S. I really don't want to replace my chipset so something with a compatible Socket please
OS: Windows 8
CPU: 1.3 Ghz AMD E-300 Accelerated Processor
Model: HP 2000 Notebook PC
Why is that?
Even if there's nothing with a compatible socket would I be able to get a different chipset?
FYI I didn't pick the computer my parents picked it out I would have picked some thing out with at least an i3 intel
Listen I came on here to get help and if you can't help me please be quiet. Tell me why I can't just put a new chipset in with a new graphics card and processor. I know the processor's socket is incompatible with anything.
I'll be sure to take the Computer course next year at my High School
Check this forum out...maybe post there > http://btoforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=39

Hi ok a lap top has all the chips soldered to the motherboard. So you would have to heat each chip you want to change so it would come off and then solder a new chip back on. Which cant be done at home by you with a blow torch.
It would be a lot cheaper just to go buy your self a new laptop.
You really need to learn some tact...... anybody tell you that before? I'll just come out and say it, that was just plane old rude.... seriously. rude.
Yeah... not cool dude. Posts like that are a good way to get on the wrong end of a pointy stick.

Seriously was hoping you weren't gonna say that. I kinda needed a good non-super expensive solution, I was kind of hoping for a solution in time in time for DayZ Standalone release. Because none of the computers in my household are powerful enough for That Game, Ithink the fastest CPU we have is rated 2.0 Ghz and is Windows Vista
As stated by someone else, the laptop / compact APU-based systems have the chips soldered onto the board. It is essentially a part of the mainboard.
You can't replace the chip because there are NO replacements available for the average consumer. If you want a chip, you'd need to still one from...AMD or HP or something..before they solder it onto the board.

Both the S1848 and S1085 bills would lead to increased lethal control of deer by methods more commonly associated with poaching than lawful deer hunting or responsible wildlife management. S1848 would permit the killing of deer directly over bait, at any time of day or night, "with any weapon," the use of cars or trucks, and jacklighting, or stunning deer with strong lights.
The Animal Welfare Institute has just exposed a longstanding pattern of apparent serious violations of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) at a major supplier of antibody products to the research industry. We now need your help to ensure that the company is punished to the fullest extent of the law and does not merely receive a slap on the wrist.
In December 2011, a landmark Institute of Medicine (IOM) report titled Chimpanzees in Biomedical and Behavioral Research: Assessing the Necessity declared that "most current use of chimpanzees for biomedical research is unnecessary." In response to this report, in January of this year, a Working Group (WG) of the Council of Councils—an advisory body to the NIH— issued its own report which expanded on the IOM report and included groundbreaking recommendations.
Your help is urgently needed to defeat a proposal that puts millions of bats in grave danger.

President of Poland
President of the Republic of Poland |
Residence | Belweder |
Appointer | Popular election |
Term length | Five years, renewable once |
Inaugural holder | Gabriel Narutowicz |
Formation | 11 December 1922 |
Website | www.prezydent.pl |
The President of the Republic of Poland (Polish: Prezydent Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, shorter form: Prezydent RP) is the Polish head of state. His or her rights and obligations are determined in the Constitution of Poland.
The President of the Republic of Poland is the head of state, the supreme representative of Poland in the international arena. He has executive authority. He has a right to dissolve the parliament in certain cases (e.g. when it fails to form a Council of Ministers or to adopt the budget).
The President of Poland is elected directly by the people to serve for 5 years and can be reelected only once. Pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution, the President is elected by an absolute majority of valid votes. If no candidate succeeds in passing this threshold, a second round of voting is held with the participation of the two candidates who received the largest and second largest number of votes respectively.
In order to be registered as a candidate in the presidential election, one must be a Polish citizen, be at least 35 years old on the day of the first round of the election and collect at least 100,000 signatures of voters.
This article is part of a series on the politics and government of Poland |
Related topics
The President has a free choice in selecting the Prime Minister, yet in practice he usually gives the task of forming a new government to a politician supported by the political party with the majority of seats in the Sejm (usually, though not always, it is the leader of that political party).
The President has the right to initiate the legislative process. He also has the opportunity to directly influence it by using his veto to stop a bill; however, his veto can be overruled by a three-fifths majority vote in the presence of at least half of the statutory number of members of the Sejm (230). Before signing a bill into law, the President can also ask the Constitutional Tribunal to verify its compliance with the Constitution, which in practice bears a decisive influence on the legislative process.
In his role as supreme representative of the Polish state, the President has power to ratify and revoke international agreements, nominates and recalls ambassadors, and formally accepts the accreditations of representatives of other states. The President also makes decisions on award of highest academic titles, as well as state distinctions and orders. In addition, he has the right of clemency, viz. he can dismiss final court verdicts (in practice, the President consults such decisions with the Minister of Justice).
The President is also the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces; he appoints the Chief of the General Staff and the commanders of all of the service branches; in wartime he nominates the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and can order a general mobilization. The President performs his duties with the help of the following offices: the Chancellery of the President, the Office of National Security, and the Body of Advisors to the President.
Presidential residencies and properties[edit]
Several properties are owned by the Office of the President and are used by the Head of State as his or her official residence, private residence, residence for visiting foreign officials etc.
- The Presidential Palace in Warsaw, largest palace in Warsaw, the official seat of the President of the Republic of Poland since 1993, the first presidential tenant was Lech Wałęsa when he moved to the Palace from Belweder in 1994.
- Belweder in Warsaw, was the official seat of the President until 1993, currently owned by the Office of the President as the official residence of the President and is used by the President and the Government for ceremonial purposes. The palace also serves as an official residence for heads of state on official visits to Poland and other important guests.
- Presidential Castle in Wisła, a château built for the Habsburgs as their hunting cottage, rebuilt 1929-1931 and used as recreational residence by the President Ignacy Mościcki. Since 2002 again a property of the President, restored and opened in 2005 by the President Aleksander Kwaśniewski. It is today a recreational and conference centre for the President and a hotel.
- Residence of the President of the Republic of Poland in Łucień.
- Manor House of the President of the Republic of Poland in Ciechocinek.

Acting President of Poland[edit]
The constitution states that the President is an elected office, there is no directly elected presidential line of succession. If the President is unable to execute his/her powers and duties, the marshall of the sejm will have the powers of a President for a maximum of 60 days until elections are called.
On 10 April 2010 a plane carrying Polish President Lech Kaczyński, his wife, and 94 others including many Polish officials crashed near Smolensk-North Airport in Russia. There were no survivors.[1] Bronisław Komorowski took over acting presidential powers following the incident. On 8 July Bronislaw Komorowski resigned from marshall power after winning the presidential election. According to the constitution, the acting president then became the marshall of senate, Bogdan Borusewicz. In the afternoon Grzegorz Schetyna was elected as a new marshall of the Sejm and he became acting president. Schetyna served as the interim head of state until Komorowski's swearing-in on 6 August.
Former Presidents[edit]
Since former Presidents of Poland are for the most part well-known, public figures (quite often of celebrity status) each of them is entitled to lifetime personal protection (though only within state limits) by Biuro Ochrony Rządu officers, in addition to receiving a substantial pension and being given a private office.
As of 2012, three former Presidents of Poland are alive:
- Wojciech Jaruzelski (1989-1990)
- Lech Wałęsa (1990-1995)
- Aleksander Kwaśniewski (1995-2005)
Also, three former Acting Presidents are alive:
- Bronisław Komorowski (2010, currently also President)
- Bogdan Borusewicz (2010)
- Grzegorz Schetyna (2010)
On 10 April 2010, two Presidents of Poland, Lech Kaczyński (current at that time) and Ryszard Kaczorowski, died in the 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash.
