Stian Hagen and I spent a ton of time trying to get these pants right- and we succeeded! This is the best alpine ski pant I've ever used. The neoprene snow-seal on the waist is super-comfy, keeps the snow out, and also keeps your mid-section warm. You can easily fold it down for the non-powder days as well. and the boot gaiter is amazing- wrap your power strap through the holes in the gaiter for a perfect seal. They do run a touch big so while I run a large (I'm 5'11 170) I could use a medium perhaps as well.

When people hear the term "online dating," they don't always know what it means. Here's what it doesn't mean:
1) Having a virtual girlfriend or boyfriend
2) Dating in your pajamas for the rest of eternity while eating a pint of Chunky Monkey
I'm looking for a good, loving relationship. There are so many scammers online and how do you figure out if they're real? I've been lied to a lot.
There are a few ways to quickly identify the traits of a possible online scammer. The research we've discovered about online profile scammers is they typically only use one profile photo. The photo may seem a little "too good to be true."
Why do men ask me if I just want to hook up and do dirty things in the first message? Should I block them or reply?
Unfortunately, the internet provides men with a safety net to say things to women they would never say to their faces. The other unfortunate thing is that many of these men get responses.
In the world of online dating, there are a lot of women. And not just any kind of women; there are beautiful women, smart women, sweet women, feisty women and really every kind of woman on the spectrum.
But how do you attract and find the right girl online?
Try to Think Like the Type of Girl You Want to Attract.
What qualities is she looking for in a partner? How does the type of man she likes treat her? Are values and beliefs she holds closest also values and beliefs she's looking for in a match? And if you have those qualities, can she see when looking at your profile?
When you're trying to find the right girl online, keep your audience in mind. Your profile doesn't just become a dating resume of you, but it becomes a piece that serves to connect you to others. Ultimately, you're not trying to just present a picture of yourself, you're trying to connect.
You can't connect if you can't empathize with how others may think or feel. When you write your profile, or send emails to a girl you're interested in, write them in the same conversational tone you'd use if you were sitting across from her.
Your Pictures are Outrageously Important and Tell a lot About You.
Getting the right girls online to pay attention to you means you need to pay attention to what image you're putting out there. For the most part, most of the men I work with struggle with the type of pictures they choose. The ones you tend to use the most, or feel are most flattering, could actually be working against you.
If you want to get the right girls online, remember that girls tend to be visually oriented in online dating…which means attraction matters. In the same way that you probably click on profiles with pictures you find more visually appealing, women will do the same. Make sure you put in some effort here, and always put your best foot (well, actually it should be a face) forward in your pictures.
If you're not getting responses from women you like, change up your pictures and pay the most attention to your primary photo. If your primary photo doesn't attract her, then she won't ever see any of the rest. For your primary, try to avoid bathroom, bedroom or car selfies; the lighting is usually bad and they are not flattering.
Be careful with pictures with hats and sunglasses. Also be careful of using a picture of you far in the distance or a full body shot for your primary—you'll get lost in the sea of other thumbnails. Face-focused, well cropped and lit photos perform best. Hands down.
Know Who and How to Contact to Get the Right Girls Online
Figuring out how to contact a woman may prove to be the greatest determining factor of whether you end up getting a date with the "right girl" you do meet online. While it's true many women get a lot of men contacting them, most of those men aren't making any effort to get to know her. A good, thought-out message will stand out from the rest and get her attention.
Try to assess yourself and stick to contacting women who are in your league to get more traction. Look to see when she was last online. If it's been a while of inactivity, she may not be looking for someone right now. Did she check out your profile before you checked out hers? That's a sure sign she's still on the market. Email her.
Learn the basics of how to ask questions about a person to start a conversation. Open-ended question, like asking a woman what she thinks or feels about something, make her feel like you've taken an interest in her personally. Open-ended questions also give her a chance to give a longer answer, which ultimately allows you to continue your conversation.
The right girls are online. So, don't worry about that. Just be sure you're following these steps to show them you're the right guy.
There are some very simple yet effective online dating tips you can apply to your own life, all of which will assist you in getting a first date. The point of online dating is for you to increase the opportunity of meeting someone, so you can successfully take the relationship offline.
In almost every aspect of life, we go for the things we want. Not happy with your job? Put your resume and cover letter together and search for a new one. Some weight gain getting you down? Hit the gym a little harder this month.
Anthony from Jacksonville asks…
A woman from LA saw my profile picture where I was fishing and thought we could start an online relationship. Isn't that a bit far to think it's even worth keeping in touch? I've never been to LA and I don't think it's smart to just travel and see a stranger. Should I keep in touch?
Sherry from Calgary asks…
I'm a Christian woman looking for a good Christian man but I'm getting really frustrated with the amount of guys who message me that don't read my profile. They message me anyway. What else can I do to stop men from contacting me who don't meet my interests?
We've all been scammed in life, and sometimes it's worse than other times. Maybe someone charged you twice for the bunch of bananas you bought… a minor scam.
Or maybe someone online asked you to wire him or her $10,000 to "get out of a bind and come back to the US."
Whatever the scam, the scammers in question generally have one common theme: They reach out to you and get you.
Congratulations! You've turned your online message into a real first date. Now, don't let meeting someone offline turn into a big, scary ordeal that you start regretting before you've even shaken hands.
Yes, it can be intimidating to meet up with a total stranger, but by following a few simple steps you can turn any stressful date into an easy-going interaction in no time.
Here are 5 easy steps to overcome anxiety when meeting someone offline:

Bryce Dejean-Jones announced Sunday he will play next season at Iowa State. The former UNLV guard also was considering Arizona State. He will be eligible to play immediately provided he graduates next month.
Coach Herb Sendek and his ASU staff are trying to fill two more spots over the off-season, rebuilding a roster that loses its top three scorers -- and maybe a fourth -- off last season's team that reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years.
Former four-star prospect Savon Goodman visited ASU over the weekend. An energetic 6-foot-6 power forward, Goodman spent his freshman season at UNLV, averaging 3.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 9.1 minutes. He left the program last October because of off-season legal trouble. He spent last season at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa, but did not play.
Goodman's coach at Indian Hills was Barret Peery, who recently joined Sendek's staff as an assistant coach. Goodman also is close to ASU signee Roosevelt Scott, who starred last season at Indian Hills.
ASU is expected to host Willie Atwood, a 6-8 forward from Connors State College in Warner, Okla., this week. Atwood, a third-team NJCAA All-American, visited Florida State last week and also is considering Iowa.
Also, Jackson Davis, a 2014 three-star forward from Lafayette High in Lexington, Ky., is scheduled to visit next month. Davis, who averaged 25 points and 14 rebounds last season, initially committed to Rice, but re-opened his recruitment in February. Davis also reportedly is considering Butler, Creighton, Florida, Alabama and Vanderbilt, although that could change with a recent scholarship offer from new Auburn coach Bruce Pearl. With a 3.9 GPA, Davis told The Kentucky Kernel academics will be a factor in his final decision.
Other junior-college possibilities for the Sun Devils include 6-8 forward Deng Deng of Lee College in Baytown, Texas; and Tobe Okafor, a 6-10 center from Western Texas College. Deng once was committed to LSU and has reported interest in Nebraska. Okafor last season averaged 4.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocked shots.
ASU will continue to pursue graduate transfers. The list of players wanting to play their final seasons elsewhere continues to grow. Last season, ASU didn't add Penn State transfer Jermaine Marshall -- last season's second-leading scorer -- until July.
An unknown: The status of Shaquielle McKissic, who could return next season provided the NCAA grants him an extra year of eligibility. Last season, McKissic averaged 9 points and 5.4 rebounds in his first season with the Sun Devils.

Boy dies in fall from luxury suite at Lakers game
LOS ANGELES - LOS ANGELES (AP) - A toddler has died after falling 50 feet from a luxury suite at the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Golden State Warriors in the Staples Center arena.
Police Sgt. Frank Alvelais says early Monday that the boy, believed to be 2 or 3 years old, was taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, where he died. The boy's name hasn't been released.
The boy fell from the third level top tier of the luxury suites several minutes after the Lakers beat the Warriors 117-89 on Sunday night.
KTLA-TV says it's believed the child was taking pictures when he plunged to the concrete floor.
Witnesses told the Los Angeles Times the boy was moving his arms, legs and head before paramedics took him out of arena on a stretcher.

Cowley full of pride as the new Mini scoops top prize
9:00am Wednesday 16th July 2014 in News By Andrew Smith, Business Editor. Call me on 01865 425460
THE Cowley-built Mini Hatch has been hailed as "head and shoulders above the competition" after picking up a top industry award.
Bosses were last night celebrating after the third generation of the car was crowned Auto Express Car of the Year 2014 to the delight of workers at the plant where special celebrations will be laid on marking the achievement.
Tom Bradford, body shop production manager, said: "It is fantastic news. We are all over the moon and it gives us a sense of pride.
"We have been committed to this new car for years in terms of preparation and training and development and this is a vindication of all that effort. People appreciate what we have delivered here."
Mini parent company BMW has invested £750m in the production of the new car launched in November 2013 and has built 30,000sq m of extra manufacturing space on to the body shop to accommodate it.
But even with that, demand is expected to exceed supply quickly with the car now being on sale in 114 countries worldwide, the latest additions being Angola, Vietnam and Sri Lanka.
As a result, a new plant in Holland will open tomorrow, which is set to boost production to more than 400,000 cars a year.
Mini spokesman Maarten Abele added: "Oxford is no longer capable of meeting the clamour for this car. The car will be sold in even more places and the new plant will help deliver cars more quickly to the customer."
- The body shop at BMW Mini at Cowley
Oxford East MP Andrew Smith greeted the news as "fantastic".
He said: "It is a very fitting tribute to the effort put in by everybody at the plant. The Mini has exceeded the expectations of everybody at BMW and the fact they are starting to manufacture in Holland is because of the scale of its success in Oxford."
As well picking up the overall Car of the Year title, the Mini was also voted Best Premium Small Car at the awards.
The car costs from £13,750 and went on sale in November 2013.
Auto Express editor Steve Fowler said the new version of the car was "way ahead" of rivals such as the Fiat 500 and Vauxhall Adam.
He added: "There are a lot of small, premium cars coming on the market but the Mini is head and shoulders above them.
"This generation and the last may look similar but that is about it as the new car is so advanced. It has the fittings you would expect on a much more expensive car and there is masses of technology on board.
"We love the way it drives and it is also built brilliantly in Britain – a car the UK can be proud of."

Just a great, great pity that the Mini isn't British-owned. Instead, the government of the day allowed assset-stripper British Aerospace to cherry-pick and sell-on to German manufacturer, BMW - who ironically supplied engines in WW2 to many of the aircraft who bombed UK towns and cities.

This is great news for the general Mini/MINI community and fabulous for Cowley and all those involved with bringing this new MINI to the market. As much as I love my Maestros, Montegos etc, I have to admit that Cowley is now building the best cars that they have ever built, or at least since the 1930s/1940s - this MINI is world beating.
Cowley is now in its 102nd year of motor manufacture - how many car factories in this country that started out over 100 years ago are still remaining, let along doing as well as Cowley? It won't be long until Cowley produces it's 12th million car.

We have 10 classic Minis in our family and the new MINI is a credit to the classic Mini. Clearly with all the safety regs etc, it can't be like the old Mini (also people expect much more from cars nowadays), but it has the DNA, so to speak.

CATEGORIES Drama, Casting, CinematicalThe Pablo Escobar biopic Killing Pablo has been in the works for ages. Way back in 2003, Joe Carnahan was tapped to adapt Mark Bowden's Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the World's Greatest Outlaw, and to direct as well. A few years have passed, and now it looks like things are getting a move on. In April, the director told Cinematical that he was "constantly battling" with Javier Bardem to get him to play the big drug man. In June, Bardem talked with Ryan Stewart and seemed a bit apprehensive: "We are still ... he sent me the script. It's something that is in the back of our heads." But now Variety reports that producer Bob Yari is fast-tracking the project, and that Bardem and Christian Bale are set to star.
However, the site describes Bardem as only "slated" to appear. Has he actually, 100% signed on, or do they only expect him to? If he has, Carnahan must have worked through those battles and apprehension. To further confuse things, they also say that Bale is only in talks to play the guy who leads the hunt against the infamous drug cartel leader -- Major Steve Jacoby. At least as far back as July, IMDb has listen the actor as the production's only attached cast.
Whatever the case may be, while Yari is said to be fast-tracking the project now, he's not going crazy. The plan is to shoot next June if SAG agrees on a contract. If not, they'll wait until the strike is over. He says: "This has been a passion project of mine for years, and it will be a tentpole for our company [Yari Film Group]. I have been patient to get this done because I wanted the ideal director and cast. It was worth the wait." Now we'll just have to wait for the strike to determine when the early '90s hunt for Escobar hits the big screen.

Perfect Pairings
Peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, chocolate and vanilla, Tom and Jerry - it's nice when things go together!

Will you Marry Me?
Proposals have happened before at Interlaken, but each time I hear that one is going to happen I get excited like it's the very first time! Remember the one that happened in Morgan's last summer? Or the one that happened right after the holidays? We love being a part of such a momentus occasion, and this time was no exception.
A pathway of rose petals and sweetly lit candles to a destination of more beautiful roses and candles, chilled champagne, and freshly made chocolate-covered strawberries - right to the spot of where she said YES! Surprise!
Although this groom-to-be had his own thoughts on the big proposal, we've created a special Romantic Engagement Package that will make this moment an unforgettable one for the one you love. It includes all of your meals as well as a photo shoot with photographer Eric Limon and a special discount off Interlaken's wedding packages. You do know we do weddings here too, right?! If you've got the right one for you and you've got a ring that fits, let us help you do the rest!

Somebody call Tim Gunn because Rita Ora deserves a spot on the next season of Project Runway. The "R.I.P." singer clearly grabbed a Hefty out of the household cleaning supplies closet, snipped it in six thousand places and ended up with this impressive, sexy frock.
We'd recommend taking it in around the waist area, but chances are if the edgy Brit was making fashion out of the garbage (literally) then she didn't have much time to measure perfectly.
VIDEO: Donna Karan reveals what inspired her with help from celebs like Rita Ora!
Apparently credit for this creation is actually owed to the team at DKNY, so we assume Donna Karan and her colleagues drew inspiration from all the trash lining NYC sidewalks. Or maybe it was a combo of that and the S&M costumes lining the windows of the West Village?
Either way, Rita makes it work as only the wild-styled pop star could. Plus, the "How We Do" singer is totally prepped for any drink spills or other party messes that may fly at her through the night.

"Obama Bombs Yemen Hours After Winning Reelection"
On Wednesday morning, as many Americans sifted through the voter data and exit poll numbers of President Barack Obama's reelection the night before, the Twitter feeds of close watchers of Yemen lit up with reports of another sort of presidential event: an apparent U.S. drone strike had killed several individuals in that country.
Four more years!

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- The Buffalo Bills have released tight end Tony Moeaki after reaching an injury settlement with the fourth-year player. Moeaki missed most of training camp due to an assortment of injuries and was been placed on the Bills reserve/injured list on Friday. The Bills were giving the oft-injured player a second chance after signing Moeaki late last season.

The Little Jamurai: A Day in the Park.
***A note to the viewer: We know that dreadlocks were not big in feudal Japan, we know that there were no radios at the time either and yes we are hipped to the fact that the Las Vegas Stratosphere is a recent addition to the planet...This series is a mash up of Akira Kurosawa, Shaw Brothers and hip hop. It's entertainment.
In this follow up to 2000's "The Little Jamurai", our young warrior comes face to face with the ramifications of his prior actions. If you haven't seen the first Little Jamurai toon, check it out so this will make more sense. Enjoy!
After a long hiatus, Dreadfully Slick Developments is back in business of comics and cartoons. Thanks to all the fans in New Grounds who've suppported us this whole time. Visit Jamurai.com for more cartoons and higher quality sound than you can get here, because we're talking hip hop folks, so the music matters!
MySpace users go to myspace.com/thejamurai and join our community.
A note to those quick to jump to conclusions out there: The Jamurai, originally created for mixtapes in the mid-90's, predate Samurai Champloo, Samurai Jack and Ghost Dog which they are often compared to. We don't mind the comparison, but we were here first.
great music - liked it a lot - cool, chilled beats
better than the first ! ; )
better than the last one pls make more!!! : )

Even more Epic then the last one.

I thought the rain would go from one link to another and land in the drainage pipe we installed in the ground. The rain seems to fly off the first link and splatter around the drainage hole. It's no better than letting the water fall from the gutter to the ground with no chain at all. It was not installable according to the directions included. I had to improvise. All in all, it was a lot of money and I'm disappointed.
The Copper Rain cahin looks great on my new house..but..no rain yet, to tell how good it will be. But am sure it will be just fine...

World War II, specifically the Nazi seizure of all Jewish owned property and business enterprises provided Chanel with the opportunity to gain the full monetary fortune generated by "Parfums Chanel" and its most profitable product, Chanel No. 5. The directors of "Parfums Chanel," the Wertheimers, were Jewish, and Chanel used her position as an "Aryan" to petition German officials to legalize her right to sole ownership. On 5 May 1941, she wrote to the government administrator charged with ruling on the disposition of Jewish financial assets. Her grounds for proprietary ownership were based on the claim that "Parfums Chanel "is still the property of Jews"…and had been legally "abandoned" by the owners.posted by DU at 7:46 AM on August 18, 2011 [5 favorites]
During the German occupation Chanel resided at the Hotel Ritz, which was also noteworthy for being the preferred place of residence for upper echelon German military staff. She also maintained an apartment above her couture house at 31 rue Cambon. During that time she was criticized for having an affair with Hans Günther von Dincklage, a German military intelligence officer who arranged for her to remain in the hotel.posted by DU at 8:15 AM on August 18, 2011
...Coco's response when she was asked why she had consorted with a German: "Really, sir, a woman of my age cannot be expected to look at his passport if she has a chance of a lover."IndigoJones, I have found a lot of references that conflate party membership with wearing a German uniform. This isn't my period so I'm not sure whether there's a faster way to determine it.

Competition for thee, but not for me | The Daily Caller
Between having Republican presidential candidates fly to Las Vegas to kiss his ring, billionaire Sheldon Adelson has managed to fit in time to talk Sen. Lindsey Graham into sponsoring a bill banning Internet gambling.
As you may know, Sheldon Adelson is a CASINO OWNER. Internet gambling would compete with his casino business.
On the other hand, when it comes to the services Adelson isn't selling, but buying — low-skilled workers — he's for unbridled competition, preferring not to limit the supply even to people who are legally in the United States. (Weirdly, so is Lindsey Graham!)
Adelson is a big backer of amnesty, telling the Wall Street Journal: "It would be inhumane to send those people back, to send 12 million people out of this country. … So we've got to find a way, find a route for those people to get legal citizenship."
As Milton Friedman said, "With some notable exceptions, businessmen favor free enterprise in general but are opposed to it when it comes to themselves."
Yep. And this is the single biggest reason the GOP is run by an establishment gentry, entirely dependent on the favors of their rich crony supporters, and entirely divorced from the notion that their mandate is to protect American liberties from assault within and without.

That now-infamous US Airways tweet is still causing turbulence, but no one's job is in jeopardy despite a staffer's public complaints about the graphic photo posted on the airline's official Twitter account.
"We welcome feedback, Elle. If your travel is complete, you can detail it here for review and follow-up," @usairways wrote Monday to a customer complaining about an hour-long delay in her travel. But rather than include a link for contact or service, the company's tweet included a picture of a nude woman posing with a toy airplane between her legs.
The image quickly went viral as #usairways became a trending topic, filled with jokes and puns about the social media gaffe.
- "CNN has a new theory as to what happened to flight MH370 thanks to tweet by #usairways," @RyanMHurst wrote on Twitter.
- "I'm gonna put my phone in airplane mode if you know what I mean," @BadJokeOwl tweeted.
- "Someone at @USAirways misheard and thought their job was to provide exceptional customer cervix," Jon Hendron joked.
- "Charging $60 to check 2 bags is still the grossest thing US Airways has done," @thatramosgirl wrote.
- "I guess it's clear now that @USAirways is no Virgin Airlines," @onerebeldevil added.
"We apologize for an inappropriate image recently shared as a link in one of our responses. We've removed the tweet and are investigating," US Airways later posted on Twitter.
US Airways spokesman Matt Miller told the New York Daily News Tuesday that the tweet "was an honest mistake." An employee for the company's social media team had apparently copied the link to the pornographic photo a Twitter user sent to @USAirways to flag it as inappropriate, but also accidentally pasted the link in response to another customer's complaint.
Miller told the newspaper that no one had been or would be fired over the incident.
Joshua R. Hensler, who identifies himself on LinkedIn as the social media manager for US Airways, didn't name the employee who made the gaffe but still took the time to vent his frustrations on Facebook.
"Whenever someone says: 'I'm sorry, it's just who I am.' What they really mean is: "I am a giant a--hole and have no plans of improving myself as a human," he wrote in a post that has since been removed, according to screenshots grabbed by the Daily Mail.
US Airways recently merged with American Airlines to become the world's largest airline, the American Airlines Group. The company announced last week changes to its frequent-flier programs beginning in June.
We apologize for an inappropriate image recently shared as a link in one of our responses. We've removed the tweet and are investigating.— US Airways (@USAirways) April 14, 2014

alternative weblog
entry 22 - 27th November 01
| Stolen
Really crap hotel, no water in the pool, weather completely shit - drizzly and cold - and insult to injury Brendan's in the very next room... and we've got adjoining balconies. He keeps climbing over.
He's just gone, in fact. He wanted me to walk into the town with him, to see where the action was.
"I don't think there IS any action," I said.
"We'll MAKE some bloody action, mate," he replied.
"Let's go for a bloody ride mate,"
What he's failed to appreciate is that this island is smaller than the Isle of Wight, with about a hundredth of the population... and everyone is probably everyone else's cousin, including the filth.
Oh well, at least it's something to do.
Oh and we also know whose car it was, too: as we pulled away from the hotel a couple of Greek blokes tried to grab hold of it, shouting at Brendan through my window...
"That is Rocco's car," they said.
What amazes me is that we weren't stopped anywhere else on the island - either by the cops, or by Rocco, or by any of Rocco's mates.
Still, not only did we get away with it, we also picked up a couple of girls - Japanese ones. They hardly spoke any English, but we did somehow manage to arrange to meet them the day after tomorrow, on the beach nearest to our hotel. Or at least I think we managed to arrange it. We'll find out on Tuesday I suppose.
more tomorrow

Elite Laser and Skin Spa's technicians and medical professionals help men and women of all ages look youthful through skincare services including the thermotheraphy facial which uses hot and cold stones to stimulate circulation and reduce inflammation to help prevent visible signs of aging and reduce headaches, sinus problems, and tension. They also provide gentlemen's treatments and laser procedures. Clients can absorb Elite Laser's youth-lending products, which preserve rejuvenated skin more effectively than breathing jars of babies? laughter. Each appointment comes with a complimentary consultation.
Tucked inside a cozy studio within InStyle Salon & Spa Suites, Face Value Skin Spa & Wax Studio whisks male and female clients into a realm of relaxation. Here, a team of talented aestheticians help clients achieve states of beautified Zen through custom-blend Bioelements facials, Brazilian waxing for men and women, as well as speed waxing and eyebrow design. They also brandish Bioelements products while divvying out a dozen different facials that range from a deep-cleansing signature treatment to a potent acne-clearing facial laden with antioxidants. The crew also attacks hirsute skin, removing hair from backs, chests, and faces with Cirepil wax, or wielding light-based hair-removal techniques to deliver a more permanent punch and thwart hair regrowth across the body.
As a physical therapist with his own private practice, Hand & Stone founder and chief operating officer John Marco made sure that he kept abreast of the rapidly growing health and wellness industry. After a period of careful research and planning, John decided to create a spa based around convenience and affordability?Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa.
Since its launch, Hand & Stone has expanded to more than 20 states and four planets. The spa?s core concept is to offer massage, facial, and hair-removal services performed by licensed, certified, or registered professionals and offered at convenient times, seven days a week. Each location adheres to a traditional spa aesthetic with soft lighting, heated treatment tables, and plush linens.
Alicja and Haley want you to have fun in their salon??they set the tone on their website by introducing themselves with personal tidbits such as "admitted shopaholic" and "Frank Sinatra fan." They aim to be approachable to all clients, welcoming adults, teens, and kids alike with a selection of hair services that includes cut and color. Beauty Island Salon & Spa also has private treatment rooms, where aestheticians perform waxing and facials with spa-like touches such as warmed hand mitts. Back in the salon, the mani-pedis also incorporate luxurious extras: nail technicians exfoliate appendages to the elbow and knee, and mix custom foot baths with a choice of essential oil.
Though masters of aesthetics, the staff members at Aleyra MediSpa care first about skin's underlying health. Medical director and practicing physician Shahwar Syed not only oversees the beauty-based operations, but also provides skin-cancer screenings to Aleyra's patients, analyzing layers of skin beyond the surface with the Clarity Pro Assessment system. To enhance appearances, the team treats such conditions as age spots, rosacea, aging skin, unwanted hair growth, uneven skin texture, and hyperpigmentation. They also can tailor maintenance regimens so that clients can uphold their looks at home or on multi-thousand-year voyages to Jupiter.
At Movement Health & Rehab, Doctors of Chiropractic Seunghan Lim and David Fish draw on their wide-ranging specialties—which include acupuncture, adjustments, and nutritional consultations—in order to correct chronic back pain, sciatica, and more. Dr. Lim can also approach patients' health issues through functional medicine, which seeks to treat the underlying biochemical causes of symptoms.

Radio From Hell Interviews the Director Jeremy Seifert of the documentary OMG GMO. Jeremy Seifert explains crossbreeding and modification of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms.)
Director Seifert addresses the issues of agriculture and the negative effects of Round-Up on crops."You have giant chemical companies now feeding us, and you have a chemical company like Monsanto trying to sell more chemicals: Round-Up is the most prevalent herbicide in the world." Round-Up (a chemical pesticide) has been linked to Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, various forms of cancer, and Celiac Disease. "The GMOs have been quote 'proven-safe' from 3 month industry studies or industry-affiliated studies, and yet longer term studies are indicating that there might be serious health implications from GMOs."
"We need to be awake to this issue, GMOs are not labeled in this country and most people don't know what they are."
OMG GMO is now out on DVD.
Radio From Hell sat down with two manly men from Rifftrax, Mike Nelson, and Kevin Murphy! They talked about the 1980's Godzilla premiere that will be coming the a theatre near you!
"We'll be on stage on the Belcourse theater in Nashville, Tennessee. Rifftrax will be doing what we have done for a long time, and make fun of the film, non-stop." August 14th @ 7PM, and August 19th @7:30PM. At any Cinemark, or Centry theater in the Salt Lake Valley!

For personal reasons I loved having Tim Kazurinsky on the show today. He's currently playing the Wizard in Wicked. (Click Here for Tickets) He's known for a lot of TV shows and movies, but it was amazing to talk to him about one of my comedic heroes, John Belushi. Tim and John were very close for a number of years. Tim shared stories about Belushi that were personal and gave me insight to a side of him that was not widely known. Belushi hated being stereotyped as Bluto from Animal House. He tried different types of characters (Continental Divide, Neighbors) and did them well, but the public wanted him to be loud and smash beer cans on his forehead. And he validated something I have thought for years. The soundtrack for Neighbors totally ruined the movie. I thought I was the only one who felt this way.
My job is pretty cool sometimes.
Kerry Jackson
Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees sat down on a Channel 2's "Person 2 Person" with Shauna Lake in two parts to talk about Neon Tree's roots, why he doesn't have a driver's licence, coming out in Utah and the new album, "Pop Psychology."
If anything watch to see news anchors say, "Sleeping with a Friend." Then think of all the uncomfortable things you would like to watch news anchors say.
Also, I have no idea why one is big and one is small. I failed programmer's school.
If you want to see Bill Allred's "Person 2 Person" you can watch it here.
Of course since I don't want to get sued for copyright, I spent the last hour on MS Paint making a picture. Company time well spent! So I'm sure I've heard somewhere before that Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has kids. But for some reason when I saw a story about Billie Joe and his son playing a secret show to celebrate Fathers Day the first thing I thought was "huh." The same noise I make when someone explains why they're having a shitty day, and I pretend I care.
And then I make this face and run away laughing.
The Green Day front man and his son Joey started their Father's Day celebration a little early by taking the stage together in Oakland for a surprise show under the name "Two and a Half Men." A band name that would have been funny in 2010.
One of us still has a job, and it's not the one you think.
Joey Armstrong was on drums and Green Day touring member Jason White on bass, and Daddy Billie Joe leading the trio through an eleven-song setlist of Green Day deep cuts. Joey -- who plays in his own band Emily's Army -- posted a few pictures and videos of the family gig on Instagram.
I need to learn The Instagram..

The doc concerns the manufacture of consensus, in this case through politicians weaving tales of monsters outside the door and promising everlasting protection from them if only you'll just do your patriotic (sic) duty and support them in this endeavor. It gives a great amount of capsulized history regarding the current battle of the Gods between the "Christian" West and the "Muslim" Middle East. Let the video speak for itself, when you have the time. Bookmark it, it's well worth it.--Pete

If you're in your twenties, chances are you remember the era of the graphic tee. I can still remember sporting them in high school with a fab pair of jeans and feeling completely casual chic. Shortly into college, however, my graphic tees were replaced with equally fun sorority t-shirts and more sophisticated looks.
Now, I'm begining to be drawn to the allure of the t-shirt again. While some fashion statements are subtle, t-shirts make a very obvious statement. Depending on your mood, an obvious statement can be very welcome. So I'm adding these fab statement tees to my shopping list.

I Grew Up Autistic And Conquered It
Your Child Can Too
ByoNetics is a computer technology that turns back ON your child's Developmental Switches. Now your child can function in a proper reality free of the symptoms of autism.
Brain Developmental Switches
ByoNetics looks at the brain as a computer, a processor of information.
The brain/computer needs to connect to its physical, emotional and speech software. It makes this connection through what has been identified as the brain's Developmental Switches.
These Switches in the brain are crystalline structures in the neuro pathways, very much like fiber optics used in telephone communications.
There are Seven Main Developmental Switches that connect the Brain/Computer to its mental, physical, emotional, and speech software.
We believe that the chemical reactions in vaccines damages these Seven Development Switches and turns them off. When these Switches are turned off the child cannot develop conversational speech. The child experiences hyperactivity, lack of mental focus, and cannot maintain emotional contact. Sensitivity to sound and tactile issues as it relates to the wearing of clothes are also present.
Turning These Development Switches Back ON
ByoNetics employs Cranial Dynamics ™ a computer technology that creates the exact brain wave frequencies that repairs and turns back ON your child's Seven Developmental Switches.
"Hello Jean.. A huge thank you for saving my son with ByoNetics. Colton is now virtually free of Autism after only 3 months." Deana Duke
Observe The Brain Developmental Switches Turned OFF and ON
You can see the difference between the two images…Low Activity Off and High Activity ON.
ByoNetics activates the High Activity ON phase.
All you will need is a CD player.
When your child goes to bed you simply place one of the Seven (7) ByoNetics Developmental CD's in the player, turn it on while your child is falling to sleep and let the repairing begin.
There is no need to place a headset on the child. Just let it play at a comfortable volume in their room.
What you will hear is the sound of the babbling brook (the sound of creation) in the background. Behind the sound of the babbling brook are the brain wave frequencies used to repair the your child's Seven Developmental Switches and turn them back ON thus freeing your child of the symptoms of autism.
ByoNetics is rated #1 in the repair of autism. Over 1,400 parents agree.
Here is Susan Callahan's Response:
From: S. Callahan
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: Daughter is free of her autism
This is my response to the Pediatrician, L. Alagheband, whose son is autistic and considering the Byonetics Computer Technology.
There is sooooo much that I could share with you.
First off it sounds like you are roughly where we were a year ago. And yes, even though we were skeptical too, because it was non-invasive to the child, the price was doable, and all Jean's references checked out, we did it. And I can tell you that she would not be viewed as being on the Autism Spectrum anymore.
She has just a few quirks left about her, but we've come an incredibly long way in one year. My daughter had 12 out of the 14 areas of the autism checklist before ByoNetics. Now, she would not have any.
Even the doctors are amazed at her progress.
It really has truly ended her autism. She was involved in DT, OT, PT, & Speech therapies on a weekly basis and graduated out of all of them by 7 months following Byonetics; much faster than we ever expected.
No Meds No Special Diet
We did not ever use any medications or special diets with her. We simply kept teaching her at home and at her preschool and using Jean's technology. She too had a large gap in abilities between home and group activities.
Dramatic Change
That has changed dramatically. She had no functional language before Byonetics and now is speaking paragraphs, sharing joint attention, telling stories, singing songs, even a solo last summer for a leaving teacher.
I could write a book, but would rather tell you in person so that we can exchange your concerns and our experience.
Thanks for allowing me to share our experience with you.
I do hope more families use.

What do you receive with ByoNetics?
We have developed Cranial Dynamics™ CD allows us to computer engineer a brain wave machine and download it onto a separate Developmental Computer Disk. These Super CDs create the proper brain wave frequencies that the brain uses to turn back ON your child's Seven Developmental Switches. Now your child can develope speech, mental focus, and emotional balance while maintaining a proper reality where your child can benefit from their therapies, receive their education, develop relationships, and become successful in society.
We provide Seven Developmental Computer Disks/CDs, one for each night.
You can personally call me about your child's autism. My personal telephone number is 305.394.4020.
If you want to leave us a message you can call at 1.800.280.2802. Be sure and leave your telephone number and best time to return your call.
Our ByoNetics Family is made up of over 2,500 families whose children are benefiting with more speech, mental focus, and emotional balance, with less hyperactivity.
Before ByoNetics you could only manage autism. You had to accept the fact that your child was autistic. You had to provide for their immediate care and, especially, for their long term care. For the nightmare that all parents have is who would take care of their adult child if they, the parents, would pass away. Unfortunately, the government would assume that role. The worst of all options.
ByoNetics changed the face of autism. For now you can repair your child's autism instead of just managing it.
We invite you to read Jean Genet's book, ByoNetics

The Day You Drowned- to Oswaldo, my first friendI could hear the ocean that morning, somethirty miles from the coast, in that waythe waves always break down without anyonearound to see the waves break downand it made no sense that I would waketo the sound of the waves breaking down thatmorning, but there I was, awake, oceanin my ears, and alone. I learned what happenedmuch later, bike tire treading water at ourpark, a sign hung in the rain. You werealone, skirting, dancing with the shorethe way you always would, the way you always diduntil then, when the ocean danced with youand led you onward, your favorite music withyour favorite partner leading you on, foamstepping forward, you stepping back. Whenthe false step happened, the ocean cradled youbecause you were its favorite partnerand it never wanted to lose you, to be leftalone. You, being gracious, went along.The ocean was in my ears this morning. I hopeyou're still dancing in the ocean's arms.
The Art of Wreck-It RalphReleased to theatres in North America in November 2012, Wreck-It Ralph has gathered a solid fanbase of young and old alike, reaching out to lovers of arcade and video game alike in a way that no other animated film has managed to accomplish. Because of these features, as well as an unusual, engaging (and massive!) roster of characters, artists have been drawn to the film, creating incredible works in a variety of styles and bringing more life to an already vibrant cast and story.Wreck It Ralph Pacman Chase Canvas Painting by RubiksPhoenixmondo : wreck-it ralph by strongstuffStay Sweet by NillaKiwiWRECK-IT Hulk and FIX-IT Thor by jey2dworldVanellope doll by annie-88Deco Ralph by SMachajewski
Only YouHi everyone!I've gotten a lot of new watchers in the past few weeks, likely because of the site updates and such, but while I am a staff member here, I'm also a guy who enjoys getting to know people. So I figured I'd say a bit about myself, and then you can tell me some stuff about you, sound good? My name's Trevor, and I work in the Product Marketing department here at dA. I'm short, chubby, easily amused, pleasantly surprised, generally cheerful, prone to wearing hats of all sorts, a fan of monkeys (particularly silverback gorillas), and by and large addicted to the internet. I go by lots of nicknames, though around here I'm generally just called monkey. If you've got questions, you're more than welcome to ask. :3I promised a feature...almost a month ago now I'm getting really bad at this I'm sorry in celebration of 5 years on dA for me, so here are the works that were linked to me to feature!

Close to Announcing Great ResolutionObviously we don't intend to leave you hanging!Due to halloween some pretty key folks are trick or treating with their kids and stuff this evening so I couldn't publish a really terrific resolution to the Journal issues we've been having until tomorrow. Family comes first folks! I can say the following with confidence: Everything everyone wants, with the added benefits that come with the deviations platform will be released very soon.In the meantime, enjoy the really crazy journals showing up in the footer.Oh, btw, because of the new Journal portal we learned we were having a bit of a spam issue, with a few bots posting to the network mostly to spike their google pagerank. Which is silly because we've set the pages to be ignored by the google spiders... so what these spammers are doing is all for nothing. But we'll root them out within a couple of days as well and ultimately really clean deviantART up. For the record.... the community is using Journals at a much higher r

Coming Soon: A Unified Submission Process!We're always trying to improve the deviantART member experience. While many of our site upgrades are taken directly from community feedback, every once in a while we (administrators) need to trust our instincts. For many years, our gut was telling us that submitting content to deviantART was becoming bloated. Not only was it confusing for new deviants, but we found that there was redundancy in the systems as well as the content. We needed a fix. We made a fix. And it's coming soon! A Unified Submission ProcessThere will soon be a single system to submit all content. What's that mean? Well, all new content (including deviations, journals, group blogs, and news articles) will be be submitted from a single page. So, you will have a single publishing platform, and you will be able to decide where it should be posted -- whether in your journals, news, or gallery. This page will have a snazzy WYSIWYG editor, allowing for rich editing of your posts.

Boosted Boards Best Thing Since Hover BoardsSo it's the year 2013 just about, and we don't have hover-boards yet. I'm just as bummed as you. But there's great news, because at least we have Boosted Boards!! This kick-ass project got kick-started with $450,000+ and my buddy Garry Tan over at Y Combinator got me an intro after I rode his beta-model. I'm such a fan... Here's me riding the new model, Garry will be so jealous I got to ride it first! These long boards have the goods to hit 20+ mph up hill!!! If the limiters were off they could hit 60mph, but I felt really safe on this thing. It's so smooth and easy to drive... I haven't skateboarded in over a decade and look how easy I make it look!
