iAd pleasing early advertisers, developers
Apple's new iAd mobile advertising platform is pleasing early partners on both sides, according to a Los Angeles Times report. Application developers, including Dictionary.com and CBS Mobile, told the paper that iAd is allowing them to charge more for ad space in their applications — a 177% increase in Dictionary.com's case. Meanwhile, advertisers like Nissan and Unilever report that their initial ads are attracting more users and holding their attention for a longer period of time. "We feel pretty strongly that this is the way to capitalize on where the mobile Web is heading," said Chad Jacoby, a senior manager of Nissan's media operations. "What iAd promises is the most progressive thing I've seen to date" in digital advertising. Rob Master, the North American media director for Unilever — which ran an iAd for its men's line of Dove hygiene products — said the company's iAd resulted in a double-digit percentage of users seeking more information about the product. "The ad served to help rally the organization at large" to the possibility of iAd advertising, he said. "And now that we've been through one, the amount of time and team dedicated [to producing an ad] drops dramatically." Apple began rolling out its iAd platform on July 1.

Funny how I have not seen any Iads yet. Or have I?
Posted by Nick on August 12, 2010 at 4:19 PM (CDT)
I have seen a few iAds so far. But they were very unobtrusive. I just happened to look at the top of the screen for another reason and noticed that there was an ad there. I clicked on a Dove for Men iAd and it was pretty well done. I poked around in there for a minute then closed it to return to my game. All very effortless. I think this will be a solid model for future mobile advertising.

I'd like to hear from some women about the sole scene I didn't buy--Bello getting angry, then super-turned-on when she learns about her calm Tom's tough-guy origins--but otherwise, A History of Violence is a remarkably convincing examination of heroism, hero worship, and the seductive allure of villainy.

The director of "Gallipoli" and "The Year of Living Dangerously" has muffled the rage and darkness of his best work in favor of an antiquated pleasingness. Master and Commander is a too-comfy classic.
It is filmed with simplicity, a purity of intent, and I wanted to watch the faces of these men in their last seconds of life--not for the sake of history, but because of Wajda's imperative to put his father's death onscreen. He needed to do this. And somehow, sanity is restored.
I'm not crying "masterpiece" here. Locke is too contained, too well-carpentered, too self-consciously "classical." But tours don't come much more forceful. Once you've taken this 90-odd-minute drive with Tom Hardy, you'll never forget his face.

If all three of the women's lives had come across with equal weight and artistry, the film, which glides back and forth among them, might have approached the symphonic. But only the Streep section truly inspires the kind of awe and terror that the film as a whole strives for.

Watching it is like getting a peek behind the curtain. But it's frustrating, too, because the casting of Emadeddin as a murderer-in-the-making precludes any psychological depth.

The company donated a rainwater harvesting system.
ST. CHARLES, Ill. – Aquascape is donating a 500-gallon RainXchange rainwater harvesting system with a 20-foot stream to Universal Design Living Laboratory (UDLL), a 3,500 square foot home in Columbus, Ohio. The UDLL project was initiated by Rosemarie Rosetti, a motivational speaker, author and wheelchair user, along with her husband Mark Leder, after a bicycling accident left Rosetti paralyzed from the waist down.
The Universal Design Living Laboratory will become home to Rosetti and Leder upon completion, in addition to serving as a learning resource for builders, designers, architects and consumers. The couple's mission is to raise awareness of quality indoor and outdoor lifestyle through universal design, green building, safety and healthy home construction practices.
Aquascape is inviting a group of certified Aquascape contractors to participate in the hands-on training and installation of the RainXchange rainwater harvesting system, which will bring biodiversity and a native aquatic habitat to this suburban property. Rosetti and Leder will be able to irrigate their home's surrounding landscape with the captured rainwater. The 20-foot stream assists in aerating and filtering the stored rainwater.
"Rosemarie was a keynote speaker at Pondemonium, our annual premier training and networking event a few years ago," stated Ed Beaulieu, chief sustainability officer for Aquascape. "When we heard she planned to construct a Universal Design Living Laboratory, we promised to provide a water feature for her new home."
The RainXchange System will be installed at the UDLL home on Oct. 8. More information about the Universal Design Living Laboratory is available at www.udll.com.
For more information on Aquascape's rainwater harvesting systems, products or programs, log onto www.aquascapeinc.com or www.rainxchange.com or call 866-877-6637 (U.S.) or 866-766-3426 (Canada).

Shivering in the prairie wind and barely able to hear because of a roaring grain conveyor, Frank Kovacevich was in no mood for a prank call or a telemarketer. So, when a Farm Journal editor informed him he had won the 2008 Welding University drawing, he answered, "OK," and went back to loading a grain truck.
When Greg Risenmay received a similar call, his wife's grandparents were skeptical. "Tell Greg not to spend any money," they cautioned.
But the phone calls were for real. Out of 4,406 entries, Kovacevich, of Ottawa, Ill.; Risenmay, of Idaho Falls, Idaho; and Jason Bockey of Delphos, Ohio, won the grand prize—welding training, equipment and gear.
After a two-day all-expense-paid trip to Miller Electric Manufacturing Company's headquarters in Appleton, Wis., the three farmers headed home with practical stick- and MIG-welding and plasma-cutting tips, their choice of a Bobcat 250 welder/generator or a combination of a Millermatic 212 MIG welder and a Spectrum 625 plasma cutter, a Miller auto-darkening helmet and Arc Armor protective welding apparel.
Slick stick tricks. All of the winners had stick welding experience; but at Welding University, they learned several new techniques.
"The instructor showed me a couple techniques I hadn't seen before," Kovacevich says. "One of them was the whip technique [moving the rod out and away from the puddle, then 'whipping' it back in]. I had only learned the circle technique [rotating the rod counter-clockwise, pushing it back into the puddle, rotating to the front and then again pushing back into the puddle]."
Working with center-pivot irrigation equipment on his farm, Risenmay told Miller welding engineer John Granato that he often has to weld rusty, thin metal. "Be sure to use the right electrode—either 6011 or 6013," Granato advised. "The 6011 electrode was made to run on DC current. But it can also run on AC power for less penetration."
Plasma cutting was a new experience—which prompted Bockey to rethink which prize he selected. "I thought the Spectrum 625 could only cut 3⁄16"-thick metal, but Ric Armstrong, the instructor, cut ½"."
"I was impressed with how a plasma cutter conducts less heat than a torch, leading to less warping of metal," Risenmay says.
Kovacevich was intrigued to learn that when equipped with a special tip, or "gouger," a plasma cutter could be used to remove old weld metal when repairing equipment. "That could save a lot of grinding," he observes.
At the conclusion of the training, "I was walking around in a state of awe because of all the things I'd learned," Risenmay says.

A spokesman for Joe Lieberman says the senator intends to serve in the next Congress as a full-blown Democrat, not an independent who merely caucuses with Democrats.
It seems like just yesterday that Karl Rove was touted as a campaign genius. Now Britain's Labour Party is tapping Howard Dean for his election wisdom.

Not everybody was celebrating last night. Here are some of the disappointing results from the elections:
Illustration: Karen Spector / Truthdig
In case you missed it, here are some of the exciting developments from Tuesday's elections:
With another of his stirring essays, Keith Olbermann speaks to the stakes of Tuesday's elections: "Saddam Hussein will get out of Iraq the same way 2,832 Americans have, and thousands more. He'll get out faster than we will. And if nothing changes tomorrow, you, Sir, will be out of the White House long before the rest of us can say ... we are out of Iraq."
Did you know Democratic Senate candidate Jim Webb once boxed Oliver North?
New rule changes and the increased popularity of absentee voting might mean results from Tuesday's election won't be known for some time.
If nothing else, a Democratic victory at the polls would mark a return to governance by people guided by facts, not emotions.
Former revolutionary and U.S. foe Daniel Ortega is headed toward victory in Nicaragua's presidential election. Like other leftist leaders who've found success in Latin America, Ortega campaigned against "savage capitalism" and poverty.
In an original Truthdig video interview in advance of the publication of his new memoir, "Point to Point Navigation," iconic author and historian Gore Vidal offers this plea to America on the eve of the election: "This is the most important vote that you'll probably ever cast. Because should this gang of thugs continue in the two houses of Congress, there isn't any chance of getting the Constitution back…."
Slate offers these nominees for the slimiest campaign ads of 2006.
According to the latest USA Today/Gallup Poll, the Democrats' advantage among likely voters has shriveled from last month's high of 23 points to 7. Still, the numbers bear a close similarity to results heading into the 1994 election that gave Republicans control of Congress. (h/t: Slate)
The vice president this Tuesday will be on a hunting trip, his first since he shot friend Harry Whittington in the face.
Despite evidence to the contrary, CNN anchors and reporters repeatedly insisted the controversy surrounding John Kerry's "botched joke" will play a major role in the upcoming election.
Disgraced Congressman Mark Foley has indefinitely extended his stay in rehab. Though his lawyer refused to specify how long he would remain in hiding, one can only assume Foley plans to wait out the election and minimalize further damage to his party and reputation.
Truthdig Editor Robert Scheer sounds off on Schwarzenegger's hold on California, Kerry's spine, election voting woes, and reader commentary.
According to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll, Iraq is the most important election issue to voters, 29% of whom approve of Bush's handling of the war, while 81% believe the Democrats would reduce or end the occupation of Iraq, and 52% of registered voters intend to vote for a Democrat.
Early voting is underway in many parts of the country, and voters are already alleging fraud: "Saturday, KFDM spoke to another voter who says it's not just happening with straight ticket voting, he says it's happening on individual races as well, Jerry Stopher told us when he voted for a Democrat, the Republican's name was highlighted."
"The Daily Show," on the road in Ohio, looks at some key races in the upcoming election.
John Kerry has lashed out at the "right-wing nut jobs" who questioned his patriotism because of a comment he made Monday: "I'm not going to be lectured by a stuffed-suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium, or doughy Rush Limbaugh, who no doubt today will take a break from belittling Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease to start lying about me just as they have lied about Iraq…."
During interviews with Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, ABC News' political director Mark Halperin said that the weeks before the election offer a chance for the mainstream media to prove that they understand conservatives' grievances.
Media Matters pokes holes in John McCain's image with this list of the "straight-talker's" flip-flops and equivocations.
During an interview with Fox News, Dick Cheney said insurgents have increased the level of violence in Iraq in order to influence the U.S. election. Although the claim appears on its face reckless and contrary to the facts, one must consider the possibility that the vice president was in fact referring to himself and his colleagues in the Bush administration as "insurgents."
A lobbying research firm has compiled a list of the most (and least) powerful legislators. Although given the prevalence of scandals and the likelihood of a Democratic takeover of Congress, the list could be outdated very quickly.
As part of its bid to recapture the Congress, the Democratic Party has backed a number of candidates who skew to the right on issues like abortion, gun control and gay rights.

Democrats are hoping ballot initiatives in favor of stem cell research and raising the minimum wage will help drive voter turnout in the upcoming election. Republicans pioneered the initiative strategy, but this time around the electorate seems to be suffering from gay marriage fatigue.
The political satirist reports that the president also proposed erecting a 700-foot fence around Hillary Clinton.
Republicans across the country have seized the threat of gay marriage in a desperate attempt to hold on to Congress. Now that the "security" issue no longer offers the boost it once did, the GOP is counting on homophobia to drive voter turnout.
The recent spate of racially charged ads against Rep. Harold Ford Jr. have been linked to a Rove acolyte and veteran hitman with a history of dirty campaigning.
Michael J. Fox defends his advocacy against Rush Limbaugh's ignoble attack: "Because the thing about ... being symptomatic is that it's not comfortable. No one wants to be symptomatic; it's like being hit with a hammer."
The commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service has delayed the collection of back taxes from Hurricane Katrina victims until after the election in order to avoid political fallout. Four former IRS commissioners called the move "improper and indefensible."
This week Truthdig Editor Robert Scheer discusses the danger of electronic voting, Kevin Tillman's essay "After Pat's Birthday," and more.

The number of independent voters has grown steadily in recent years, particularly in the Southwest. Politicians have had a difficult time appealing to the less predictable group, which includes everyone from ex-libertarians to young people who think of political parties as irrelevant.

When Harry Reid said it would take a miracle for Democrats to regain control of the Senate, party operatives focused their hopes on the House. But recent events have Democratic challengers surging in polls.
Despite a consistent lead in the polls and a war chest twice the size of his opponent's, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger just gave his campaign $3.5 million of his own money, leaving some strategists scratching their heads.

Kevin Tillman joined the Army with his brother Pat in 2002, and they served together in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pat (left, above) was killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004. Kevin has written a powerful, must-read document.
I'm sorry to say it, but even with the Iraq war, Katrina, the disgust over Foleygate and Abramoff, the Democrats could still end up the minority party after Nov. 7.

Limited Cabinet Reshuffle Expected in Egypt
A small-scale cabinet reshuffle is predicted in Egypt "in the coming few days," according to the Al Ahram daily.
The semi-official Cairo-based paper said that four or five new ministers would replace the incumbents.
Al Ahram said that the reshuffle would include the ministries of industry, environment, planning and electricity, while the economy portfolio would be renamed "foreign trade," to be handled by the current Economy Minister Yousef Botrous Ghali.
Mubarak had denied as "rumors" of an impending cabinet reshuffle, but disclosed that he was considering eliminating the ministry of economy.
Mubarak told reporters aboard the presidential plane taking him on a brief visit to Kuwait on Nov. 11 that "The foreign trade ministry will take over the duties of the [eliminated] ministry of economy."
The reshuffle was expected as President Mubarak had pledged to carry out political and economic reforms against the backdrop of a recession that has hit the country recently.
Mubarak was quoted by the Middle East News Agency (MENA) as saying that among the new measures under consideration was fostering role of the central bank by placing it under the direct control of the cabinet, as well as increasing support for domestic and overseas investments – Albawaba.com

Tsunami Death Toll Tops 40,000
The death toll from Sunday's devastating tsunamis in the Indian Ocean has now topped 40,000 and expected to grow higher. As many as a third of the dead are believed to be children. Sri Lanka has put its official death toll at over 18,000 people. In Indonesia, the country's vice president is estimating that up to 25,000 people may have died in the province of Aceh alone. Thousands more have died across India, Thailand, Somalia, Malaysia and the Maldive Islands Millions of people are homeless and doctors fear epidemics could quickly spread among the displaced populations. All told 11 nations are still recovering from the tsunamis caused by a massive underwater earthquake near Indonesia. Registering a magnitude of 9.0 it was the largest earthquake in 40 years. The resulting tsunamis were the deadliest the world has seen in 120 years.
UN: Tsunami is "Worst Natural Disaster in Recent History"
One United Nations official said, "This may be the worst natural disaster in recent history." Agence France Press reports the relief effort is the largest the world has even seen. It will also likely be the costliest. Billions of dollars will be needed to feed and house survivors as well as rebuild cities. The Bush administration agreed to give an initial donation of $15 million but the small amount was quickly criticized. U.N. Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Jan Egeland criticized the U.S. for being quote "stingy." Secretary of State Colin Powell said the $15 million is just the first installment of aid.
28 Die In Iraq Violence, Including 18 Police Officers
In Iraq, at least 28 people including 18 Iraqi police officers have died in another day of violence. The deadliest attack took place near Tikrit where gunmen killed 12 police officers. Four other attacks were waged on nearby police checkpoints. Meanwhile in Baquoba, gunmen assassinated a local police commander. In the village of Muradiya a car bombing killed five civilians. And in Baghdad, a suicide car bomber tried to assassinate a senior Iraqi National Guard officer as he was leaving his home. The officer was unhurt in the attack but eight others were injured.
Sunni Political Party Drops Out of Iraq Election
In other news from Iraq, the country's largest Sunni political party announced Monday it is dropping out of next month's election. The move by the Iraqi Islamic Party raises new questions over how credible the election will be seen if Sunnis do not participate. On Jan. 30 Iraqi voters are scheduled to elect 18 provincial councils and a 275-member National Assembly that will appoint a central government and draft Iraq's constitution. The Christian Science Monitor has obtained a memo from the chief United Nations election official that raises many alarms about the Jan. 30 election. According to the memo, the number of new voter registrations is below expectations. The warehouses where ballots are being stored are not fully defendable from attack. The UN official also questions why Iraq is using schools as voting sites even though some polling centers are expected to be attacked.
Alleged Bin Laden Tape Calls For Sunni Election Boycott
Meanwhile a recording purportedly of Osama Bin Laden was broadcast on Al Jazeera Monday. Bin Laden called on Sunnis to boycott the election. He said "anyone who takes part in this election consciously and willingly is an infidel." Bin Laden also announced that al-Zarqawi was the "emir" of al-Qaida in Iraq and called on Muslims to " listen to him."

Although U.S. officials have blamed Iran and Syria for backing the Iraqi resistance there are only 56 Syrians and 22 Iranians currently in the U.S.-run jails. There are more Egyptians and Saudis locked up than Syrians or Iranians.
Ukraine PM Yanukovich Refuses to Concede
In Ukraine, Prime Minister Victor Yanukovich has announced he will challenge the results of Sunday's election claiming widespread vote fraud. Yanukovich lost to opposition leader Viktor Yushenko by a 52 to 44 percent margin. Yanukovych said he will not concede defeat and has said he would demand the results be canceled.
Blackwell Refuses to Answer Questions Over Ohio Election
In election news in this country, controversy continues over the presidential vote in Ohio. On Monday, Ohio's Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell requested a protective order that would shield him from being forced to answer questions about the election in a lawsuit charging widespread vote fraud. Blackwell claims that as a high-ranking public official he should not be required to be interviewed by lawyers. Blackwell also accused the voters who are challenging the election of "frivolous conduct."
Israeli Police Arrest Mustafa Barghouti Again

Next in our line of camera controllers is controlling using the screen edges. You'll see this sort of behaviour in a lot of PC games, especially 4X games (Medieval, Civilisation, etc).
We'll use the Input class from part 3 to handle what we need from the mouse, which for this, is only the current mouse position on the stage.
For this controller, we need to define a border where our mouse will be considered active. Once the mouse has entered this border zone, we're going to move the camera in that direction, scaled depending on how far we're inside it.
In the above example, we scale the camera movement, so that when the mouse is just over the dotted line, we're barely moving, and when we're right up against the screen edge, we're moving at full speed. This sort of linear velocity gives a nice user experience, as sudden changes in the camera are quickly irritating when you're trying to click on something.
Like the CameraKeyControls, we normalise the move vector so that we don't move faster in the diagonals. We also make use of an "active" Signal, for when you're sporting more than one controller.
For this controller, there's no zooming. If you come up with an idea on how to implement it with this, I'm all ears :)
Because of the nature of this controller, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:
For the first, when the user goes to select an object that's close to the edge of the screen, the camera will move, which might cause them to misclick. Even if they don't, the camera moving can be irritating if they're trying to keep a certain region of the game on-screen. To get around this, you can:
For the second, GUI elements are commonly arranged around the edges of the screen, because GUI in the middle of the screen doesn't make for the most amazing of games. If you can select something on your GUI (buttons, gauges, whatever), then when you move to select this element, you'll probably trigger the camera movement, as you'll most likely be inside the bounds. This is usually Not a Good Thing. To fix it:
Again, make sure and add it to your update loop. You can also download it below. Keep scrolling for an example

June 17, 2014: Troops to Iraq - 0 Comments
Back to Iraq.
That's the headline … and that's front-page news. For us, in fact, that's the front page, period. Today's Herald, highlighted by Joe Battenfeld's column, takes a hard look at the ramifications (political and otherwise) of President Obama's decision to deploy hundreds of soldiers to Baghdad, their mission to provide support and security for the American Embassy and its staffers.

Restoration of the transient outward potassium current by noradrenaline in chagasic canine epicardium
1. The transient outward potassium current (Ito) is reduced in canine epicardial myocytes during the acute stage of infection with Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas' disease). Sympathetic nerve terminals are also destroyed during the acute stage of this disease. To test whether the reduction of Ito is relat...
Sudden cardiac death, secondary to ventricular fibrillation (VF), remains the leading cause of death in the USA. Recent experimental and theoretical studies suggest that VF could be caused by spiral wave re-entry. The initiation and subsequent break-up of spiral waves has been linked to electrical a...
What can nonlinear dynamics teach us about the development of ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation?
We have shown previously that verapamil reduces the slope of the action potential duration (APD) restitution relation, suppresses APD alternans and converts ventricular fibrillation (VF) into a periodic rhythm. To determine whether these effects result primarily from reduction of the APD restitution...
Decreased density of Ito in left ventricular myocytes from German shepherd dogs with inherited arrhythmias
Introduction: Methods and Results: Conclusion: A colony of inbred German shepherd dogs with inherited ventricular arrhythmias has been established.The inward rectifier (IK1), the slow delayed rectifier (IKs), and the transient outward current (I(to)) were recorded from epicardial myocytes, and Ito w...
Dynamic restitution of action potential duration during electrical alternans and ventricular fibrillation
The restitution kinetics of action potential duration (APD) were investigated in paced canine Purkinje fibers (P; n = 9) and endocardial muscle (M; n = 9), in isolated, perfused canine left ventricles during ventricular fibrillation (VF; n = 4), and in endocardial muscle paced at VF cycle lengths (s...
Suppression of electrical alternans may be antiarrhythmic. Our previous computer simulations have suggested that increasing the rapid component of the delayed rectifier K(+) current (I(Kr)) suppresses alternans. To test this hypothesis, I(Kr) in isolated canine ventricular myocytes was increased by ...
The contribution of cumulative changes in action potential duration (memory) to complex cellular electrophysiological behavior was investigated in canine cardiac Purkinje fibers. Complex behavior induced during constant pacing was caused by reciprocal interactions between the time to full repolariza...
The article discusses how the techniques of nonlinear dynamics can applied to the study and prevention of cardiac arrhythmias or heart rhythm disorders. The authors discuss how cardiac alternans offer a new therapeutic approach to treating heart rhythm disorders. Alternans are period doubling oscill...

A novel degradative route to pregnanes has been elucidated in the marine sponge Araphimedon compressa. 22-Dehydrosterols, common in the diet of sponges, are the precursors to pregnanes and apparently are degraded by a mechanism analogous to the dealkylation of phytosterols to cholesterol.

Because it's written in Tcl/Tk, I found it very easy to
extend august, making the file dialog, for example, look for files
ending in .java first.
J provides another handy editor that also runs on Windows, available
from http://armedbear.org/. J, as you'd probably guess, is written in
Java, and it provides an interface very much like the Windows editor
TextPad, including a side window listing all the files you currently
have open. J seems to run well on Linux, with a more than acceptable
performance. This can be an issue with Java programs, because the Linux
performance of Swing, the Java graphical toolkit, has often been
bemoaned. I've been running j from the IBM 1.1.8 Java runtime and the
Sun Swing library with no problems.
There's no one true editor that works well for everyone. There are
plenty of editors available on Linux, though, so you should be able to
find one that meets your needs.

This is a good hydrating gel (I wouldn't call it a moisturizer) for combination to oily skin. It is great if moisturizers are too heavy/greasy for you, but you still need a product to get rid of dry patches, or if your face feels tight after cleansing but gets oily throughout the day. This will add the perfect balance. I suggest applying after you get out of the shower, while skin is slightly damp, which will retain the moisture better. It does have alcohol in it, unfortunately, which will result in the product sinking into the skin very quickly if you have dry skin, leaving you with little to no moisture. Hence, I only suggest this for oily dehydrated types like me! I had a bad reaction to an AHA product due to my sensitive skin, which resulted in dry patches all over my face for a week, yet my skin would produce oil throughout the day. This product really helped restore my natural glow, and the alcohol in it did not irritate my skin at all. I will be searching for a similar gel-cream product without the alcohol, but this is still a good product to add a bit of balance to oily skin.
EDIT: While I still think this is a good gel for oily skin, I have replaced it with Face Reality Hydrating Emulsion, which has very simple yet effective ingredients, performs the same if not better than this, and doesn't contain alcohol.

I love this. It absorbs quickly and hydrates well. I'm almost done with it! I love the gel texture.
More reviews by missyoualready
Overall, this is a pretty good product for the price. I bought it as a dupe for the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. I have fairly oily, acne-prone skin and I usually use this at night and after showers to refresh my face. What I like about this product is that It makes me feel hydrated and takes away dryness after a shower. However, I don't like the consistency and it leaves my face feeling almost wet. I just don't feel like it is doing much for my face aside from leaving it refreshed and cool.
I don't think I will be buying this product again, might just splurge on the Clinique gel.
Can't understand why anybody would like this.It dosen't moisturise, it's packed in a jar,it's fragranced and it's FULL of alcohol. Never again.Contains no skin beneficial ingredients like antioxidants or vitamins. POOR product.
This is the ONLY moisturizer that my oily sensitive skin has been able to tolerate and doesn't make me break out or sting my skin! I put a good amount after my shower and it just melts in and makes my skin look AMAZING! Definitely worth every penny for me ! Packaging could have been better than this unsanitary jar but i am willing to overlook that for such a stellar product!

this is the first gel face moisturizer I've tried and I love it. I find that the gel is more refreshing than lotion and dries quicker so I can apply foundation on top with not much of a wait or hassle. the reason i like the packaging is because it's very sturdy and holds a decent amount of product and i feel that if it was held in plastic it would not be able to hold it's refreshing effect as well.

This is so great! The winter has made my skin (especially on my chin and upper lip) super dry, yet my forehead remains very oily and acne-prone. This moisturizer has helped immensely to clear the acne and smoothen my skin. Also, it leaves a nice matte finish once you've used a light coating all over your entire face. I love it!
More reviews by sarahthebear94
This product is extremely lightweight and it sinks into your skin like a dream. I found it extremely spreadable making it so that I need less product to cover my face. This product is pretty nice. I could see how it would work better for others, but for me it doesn't give me that finish that I like. After I apply this, I notice my face looks matte and personally I don't particularly like a matte finish so I have been only applying this liberally at night. It has caused no breakouts and my skin looks pretty nice in the morning.
Overall, I think this product is so-so. It wasn't exactly my cup of tea or should I say 'pot of moisturizer' hahaha but I will continue to use until it's all gone.
I love love this moisturizer! It feels lightweight, it leaves that refreshing tingle to your skin which feels amazing, and leaves NO oil residue and soaks in rather quickly. My skin type ranger from combination to dry skin, and because my acne scrub kind of makes my skin drier and peel this moisturizer is really a rescue. Maybe its just me but it also gives my face a glow. It's been a while since i got my first jar and i still have it. My skin does get dry especially during winter, and can also get a little oily during the summer time when its hot (sweat is yuck but it's okay) Nonetheless, ladies and some gentlemen (this product is for everybody in my opinion) it is a great moisturizer and i'll definitely be back to get another jar.
This moisturizer is of a very light gel-like consistency, as in the name, so if you're in need of a heavy duty moisturizer this isn't for you. This gel also has a slight cucumber/aloe fragrance to it. I find this to be a perfect summertime moisturizer as it's very light weight and sinks in quickly. It states to use it morning and night, but I only truly used it in the mornings since it's so light and so I can use a heavier cream at night. No problems as far as it causing breakouts and such.

For seemingly the first time in months, someone other than Betty White has been cast in a guest role as an elderly woman on a sitcom.
'Modern Family' named best comedy.
The actress talks about her new movie, 'I Do & I Don't,' now out on DVD, what she enjoys most about 'Glee,' and her life as a married woman.
We're speaking to her tonight.
Plus: Joseph Gordon-Levitt is pretty sure he and Ellen Page aren't stupid.
Plus, Jay Leno discovers that 'Glee''s Jane Lynch can legally marry people because the Internet says so, on our regular late-night roundup.
The actor talks slackers, washed-up boy-band members, and Ken Marino defecation.
Jane Lynch versus the iPhone — only one is ruined if it falls in a toilet.
The actor talks about the pleasures of Broadway versus TV, trying not to laugh when Jane Lynch gets up in his face, and his feelings on shirtlessness.
Looking good, Sue!

WATERVILLE (AP) — Police in Waterville are looking for a woman they say ignored employees trying to stop her and walked out of a supermarket with about $200 worth of food.
Sgt. Brian Gardiner said the woman pushed the laden grocery cart out of the Hannaford store at about 4:15 p.m. Monday.
He said workers tried to stop her but she refused, got in a car and drove away.
Gardiner told the Morning Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1aCipo9 ) that employees got the vehicle's license plate number and gave investigators a good description of the woman.
Police think the shoplifter was from the China area.

STEVE INSKEEP, Host:
Now, we're going to look next behind what appears to be a positive number. It is Nebraska's low unemployment rate of 4.8 percent.
Here's Clay Masters of NET Radio.
CLAY MASTERS: It's a muggy day in the eastern Nebraska City of Columbus.
Inside the main shop of Duo Lift, about 50 employees are welding, grinding and painting trailers that are mainly used to haul fertilizer. Large industrial fans vigorously stir the air. "Witchy Woman" plays on a classic rock radio station.
The business has been in Ben Hellbusch's family since his grandfather started the company in the back of his milk barn in the early 1940s. Hellbusch is in his 20's, has red hair and a problem that isn't so common these days.
BEN HELLBUSCH: Typically, it's difficult to find good help around here, yeah, 'cause everybody's got a job. So...
MASTERS: Hellbusch is looking for good painters. He says it's hard to find skilled workers around here because there's a lot of agricultural manufacturing in the city. He says because the company is careful not to over-hire in booming times, it avoids layoffs when things slow down.
HELLBUSCH: And it seems like every 10 years, there's a high and a low in the ag industry, where you're either walking in tall cotton or you're wondering if you're going to get payroll this week. And so the way we do it is try to stay on an even keel.
MASTERS: In addition to the manufacturing company, Ben Hellbusch is a co-owner of a farm-equipment sales company, and he farms 180 acres with his brother. And holding multiple jobs is common in rural Nebraska.
Eric Thompson is an economics professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He says along with a high workforce quality, Nebraska has been able to keep unemployment low because several key industries in the state have done well, and the housing bubble hasn't been as severe.
ERIC THOMPSON: The wealth of Nebraska families has held up much better in this recession than it has for families, you know, in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, places where people have seen the value of their biggest asset, their home, plummet - not so in Nebraska. Prices have stayed steady or perhaps fallen just a few percentage points.
MASTERS: Barbara Bittner and her husband still own a home in New Mexico. Originally from Nebraska, she left Albuquerque in April, just months after her husband lost his job at a civil engineering firm. They moved back to Nebraska for a job she got as a technical writer at a medical university in Omaha.
BARBARA BITTNER: This was the first interview that I had because we were looking at various areas. We had lived in Denver. We had lived in Kansas City, and, you know, I'm from here, so we were looking in all three areas. He was looking much harder than I was. Really, from the time I applied to the time I got the job, it was probably three weeks.
MASTERS: But Randy Cantrell, who studies rural economics for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln says the unemployment statistics can be misleading for a largely rural state. He says a lot of rural workers don't show up in those stats because they hold multiple jobs. And more rural workers are becoming self-employed.
RANDY CANTRELL: Let's say I do auto and tractor and truck repairs on the farm. I've got tools in my truck. I've got a welder. I drive around and I do these things for folks. I may have seen my income cut significantly during this recession, but to the extent that I still do that at all, I'm still working. I'm still making money. And even if I lost it all, I couldn't be unemployed because I was working for myself.
MASTERS: While Nebraska's unemployment rate rose in the first half of 2010, the continuing strength of its agriculture economy seems to have provided an employment cushion during these tough economic times.

waoahwow this goes, hyped
The vocals aren't bad, just an acquired taste. If you enjoy the sludgier side of hardcore, you'll
probably like the vocals here. The cleans are just above average though.
They are creating a more unique sound this time around. Last album went hard but still sounded like a meshuggah-ry band.
that's funny, I thought this said new Hacride song
this shit sounds nothing like Hacride
The new vocalist is definitely not an improvement.. Then again, it's difficult to replace a singer
like Samuel Bourreau. Musically it's stellar but I can't see this album topping Lazarus.
