This bronzer is fantastic! It makes me look golden, NOT orange!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This pressed powder bronzer is light but buildable, blends nicely, and doesn't look garish, even on my tanless skin. I picked it up on sale, at Walmart, so it was a great price. The package says the powder is waterproof, but I haven't tested that yet.
The package is the same cheap compact as Rimmel's Stay Matte powder, which is too bad, because it breaks/falls apart easily, but also good, because it keeps the price down and in my area the lid is recyclable. It's good for 30 months after opening, so if it's still around in 3 years I may buy it again. The compact is a pretty good size and I don't use much, so I'm sure it will last 3 summers.

It made me break out. I think it's because of the fragrance, but if you have really sensitive skin, I wouldn't recommend this.

If you are pale as a ghost like me, this is the bronzer for you! It looks natural on me, it doesn't make me look like Snooki! I love the smell of this product as well, it's a comforting powder scent. It lasts a long time, and helps create a matte texture on your face. I am in love with this product, and Rimmel also makes other great face products!

This is the best drugstore bronzer! I normally don't like Rimmel products but this is definitely an exception. It's not too orange or shimmery, so it looks very natural. Plus, its only $8 or $9 - what's not to like?!

This is a good bronzer for the price. There is no shimmer to it; normally I like a little bit to make it blend out more softly. This one is a little tougher to blend than my normal Physicians Formula bronzer, but at least the matte of this doesn't equal muddy. This shade is pretty nice; it's more like just adding a little color/depth to your skin rather than bronzer. However, it does have a little more of a pink/red tinge to it than a straight up tan-colored bronzer powder. I'm pretty pale and this gives me a slightly sun kissed look.
The powder is good quality, very fine. This does move around a little bit, especially on hot days, and I feel like it fades a lot after several hours, especially on hotter days. Happily, I've not had any skin reactions to this. The pan is a generous size in some sort of chintzy packaging, but for $3.50 who is complaining about packaging? If I was in a jam, like out of town and forgot my bronzer, I would definitely pick this up as a substitute and know that it would look okay. However, it's not quite great/reliable enough to become my everyday bronzer.
I bought this product around 5 or 6 years ago when I started to dabble with makeup in high school. I didn't know how to contour then so I used it for about 2 days then I tucked it away in a box full of other barely used makeup. Fast forward to present day, I'm still on the hunt for my HG skin care and makeup products. I found this bronzer when I was cleaning up and tossing away my old makeup. I know that no one should ever use old makeup but I've been using this for the past week and I LOVE IT. I can't believe I've left out bronzers from my makeup routine! It was absolutely flawless on my skin, I look like I got done up by a makeup artist! It has great color pay off, looks AMAZING on NC20-30 skin tones (I mix my MAC foundations), HAS NO SHIMMER, DOESN'T make you look like your got dirt on your face (refer to Lindsay Lohan court pictures for examples of dirty looking faces due to bad bronzer shades). I think this product is an HG product that would look good on any skin type (just use a light hand if you're really pale!!!) OH IT DOESNT BREAK ME OUT...despite probably being expired LOL. You only need a little bit to get a nice contour. I do the number 3 technique so it looks like you're sun kissed! I'm going to try putting this on my décolleté once I buy a new one (I'm scared I'll break out on my chest, very sensitive area for me). Only con is the packaging. Despite the size, it needs to have a flip top so it's not hassle to bring when traveling. I know I'd have to tape the lid on and cover it with bubble wrap so it won't break! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I'll edit this again after 1 month of use!!!
GREAT matte bronzer. Best drugstore bronzer in my opinion. Inexpensive, nice colour, matte (great for contouring), not too dark, buildable and doesn't go on too heavy.
This is a fantastic dupe for Makeup Forever Mat Bronze (which is 40 dollars!! (canada)).

Absolutely LOVEEE this. I'm really pale and it makes me look much tanner.

Great, natural looking bronzer that does not have any shimmer in it. I love that about this bronzer. It's so easy to layer on and blend down my neck and collarbone to make a believable tan look. Most bronzers end up looking too dark or splotchy on my because I am so fair but this one is perfect! My only gripe is you can't travel with this because the lid does not stay on.

That's a bummer to hear. Say what you will about respawning enemies in FC2 but it meant you were never far from a good fight. Still a great game
yup, as much as I hated the respawns in FC2 I'm actually sitting here having finished the game and wanting to dick around more on the island, but there isn't really anything to do other than chase collectibles. I guess I could start over (which I actually feel somewhat inclined to do), but I'm afraid I'll come back to the same areas, with the same spawns, knowing exactly how to deal with them.

Vaas has to win character of the year. Everything about him is just spectacular.
I'd love to see the guy voicing Vaas playing a similar character in a movie or show of some sorts. The way he delivers his lines is incredible. It's difficult enough to create a credible antagonist but in FC3 I actually sympathise with Vaas in some weird way because he is so well realized. I'd love to see him turn on Hoyt for yelling at him or something like that (maybe it'll happen I'm only about one third of the way through).

i agree. game is awesome! Stabbing dudes is so satisfying. and once you unlock more skills for the knife, its some of the best knife action EVER in a video game.
I'm very reluctant to give in to all the hype. Seems as if a lot of the awesomeness is derived from seeing two AI's interact with one another and I can imagine how that works. Apart from going around the world and murdering everything is there much more to the game? I know it's a shooter and everything, but I didn't find Crysis particularly engaging and don't know how much more this will give me. Does the jungle vary a lot? Something else that I disliked about games like Crysis or Just Cause is that despite being so huge, the jungle in one area looks exactly as the jungle in another and the scope of the island is completely lost on me as everything tends to blend together.
One thing that is drawing me to it is the writing and the story - I'm kinda of close to just spoiler reading it, so is it good? Would you say the game is worth playing for the story alone all gameplay elements aside - or is the story OK but it's the gameplay that keeps it going?
@Humanity: There's a little hype definitely, but I think it's deserved.
The first thing that's impressive about the game is the voice acting of the antagonist. It's so good that you instantly pay attention to the story, unlike so many games.
The second thing that makes the game good for me is it's one of the open world games where it's actually fun to explore. If you liked Assassin's Creed 2's world then you might like this. There's the same sort of map, plastered with mini-objectives, except it's the jungle. I never liked Crysis so I can't speak to that.
The thing that separates it from Far Cry 2 is the ease and flow of the gameplay. It's not hard to do fun stuff and your gun never jams. Most fights are not hard or frustrating. It's the sort of difficulty that's satisfying because it's as challenging as you want it to be.
@Humanity: The enjoyment you get from the gameplay is how every enemy encampment is sort of a puzzle. This isn't a straight up FPS where you just run and gun your way to victory (although you can do that if you're good and stock up on healing items). I found myself often scouting out a camp from different angles, tagging every enemy, then trying to snipe (with a silencer) outsiders from a distance and finally sneaking into camp and doing takedowns on whoever was left. Sometimes I would fail horribly though and what's great about the game is that that's ok. Sometimes it's fun to just pull out an RPG and blow up the reinforcing cars too =) The story missions tends to go down the straight up FPS route more though, but there's also a fair deal of "not terrible" platforming.
As for the story, I wouldn't say it's all about great personalities and acting. Actually, as I've said earlier, I found the presentation to be the most entertaining. There are several moments through the story where they're doing strange/funny/amazing things with both how things are presented graphically and through sound/music.
And ofc on top of it all there's the whole collection/exploration aspect if you're into that. They do a good job of giving you many different things to do, and they also tell you straight up "if you do this, you'll get this kinda reward" etc, where most of the big collectible goals only requires a medium amount of gathering. The island also has a fair deal of varied features (like caves, bunkers, derelict ships etc), but you do start getting a "samey" feeling towards the end.
Anyways, this is getting to be too much of a review :P For a more direct answer to your question, I spent about the first half of my time with the game mostly just running around the island, hunting, climbing towers, clearing encampments, doing missions etc and had tons of fun with it. But when I started to feel a bit tired of it I went and focused on doing the story and I enjoyed that too.

About six weeks ago we had our roof in the back of the house torn down to the rafters (?) and a new roof put on by a supposedly reputable roofing company. This part of the roof is flat (although it has a very slight slope to it). They claimed the best roofing material for that kind of roof was rolled roofing with a blowtorch put to it. However, now there is a ton of loose "gravel" from the roofing material; it is getting into the gutters and also just lying around on the roof waiting to be washed into the gutters. I was on the roof this weekend sweeping up leaves and also swept up a ton of this loose gravel. Is this normal? Is there some kind of coating I can put on the roof to make the gravel stick? I don't want the roof to come apart after it's just been installed. I paid a ton of money for the roof. Thanks.

Completely normal as there is always loose granules with any applied new roof.
If the granules start to expose raw tar surface, you have something to be concerned about.
But what you see at this moment is perfectly normal.

Lol.. Well I bought it from Best Buy so it's certainly not a prototype. Those pics are of my personal Amiibos sitting on my shelf 6 feet away from me

I love everything Nintendo, but also enjoy gaming on other consoles. My first game was Mega Man 3, and some recent Ninty favorites include Pikmin 3, Fire Emblem Awakening, DKC Tropical Freeze and Zelda Link Between Worlds. I own a Wii U, PS4, X1, 3DS and Vita. And of course, a Gamecube and Wii.

They're actually not bad once you see them in person.
These came in the mail today along with a few others of course.
@RaphaBoss They could, but then we'd all be paying close to $50 per Amiibo. Quality doesn't come cheap.
Well, my Smash GameCube Limited Edition bundle only just shipped out today, so it looks like I won't be playing Smash this weekend. However, my dual pack of Pokemon OR/AS did arrive today, as did seven of my Amiibos: Yoshi, Link, DK, Samus, Fox, Marth and Wii Fit Trainer. I must say, I'm rather impressed with the quality of these figures considering the low price. I figure if you're going to order these things it's best to order them right away before the die develops defects. Quality for castings is usually best at the start of the run.
"(Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros) are like sports games. It doesn't matter how good they are, they're the sort of game that is always surpassed by the next iteration."
-Looks at Mario Kart Double Dash then looks at Mario Kart Wii. Looks at Smash Bros Melee then looks at Smash Bros Brawl...
Eh, might have to disagree on that one.
DKC or bust.
@Samurai_Goroh the problem is the game is a multiplat, and was designed with a simple "hold Y to hack" mechanic. As such, there's nothing that could be done to expound upon that, short of having a bright red button on the game pad that you touch.
Had the game actually had real hacking, then they could have transitioned it to the pad. But this game doesn't have hacking. It just has "hold Y".
GameStop lol. Being a GCU member I never step foot into GameStop unless they have something exclusive. But Tales of Hearts R just released for Vita physically, only at GameStop, so I stopped in to pick up my copy last week. The Wii U section (if you could even call it that) was relegated to 4 feet of shelf space in the back corner of the store. Only three games were on display while the rest of the shelf space was empty, presumably for Smash. The other 25 copies of Wii U games they had, despite being brand-new, where shelved on their side like a pile of bargain bin used games. It was insulting, to say the least.
The other 97% of their shelf space was for PlayStation and Xbox. I understand those systems are popular but my goodness, I've seen more shelf space dedicated to air fresheners.
That's the main reason I lost respect for GameStop. I understand that Wii U is selling less but even the 3DS had no more shelf space than the Wii U, and that system is pushing product left and right. It's just a slap in the face to Nintendo and to be frank, it's just flat out embarrassing.
@dknintendo Nintendo's just a 9/10 kind of developer. Rarely does a core franchise feel less worthy then a 9. That's what's so great about Nintendo. They can release 10 games and almost every one of them will be a 9 out of 10.
Lol. People getting angry about DLC when they haven't even played the game yet. Yep, that's gamers nowadays for you. This kind of DLC begging will only make developers strip away content and hold it back. They're already giving you two games worth of content on one game disc. My goodness how much content do you need?
That's not to say I wouldn't be pleased to see Dixie Kong for sale, or Proto Man, etc, but it is what it is. If it comes it comes and if it doesn't it doesn't. I'm not even remotely thinking about DLC yet when I haven't even played the game
Got this in the mail today, and I must say I am impressed. They even have DLC available on the eShop. So I went ahead and picked up both of the DLC packs for $11 total, which is like 7 DLC packs total between the two.
I also think having an interactive map on the gamepad ranks up there among one of the best possible things you could do with a second screen. I hate pausing games. I hate interrupting the flow of my game every 30 seconds to see where I'm at on the map. Interactive like Deus Ex? All the better.
@FritzFrapp I second that. Best Nintendo console ever! Sorry to hear about those who feel otherwise, but it doesn't change how much I'm enjoying it.
I think the jump to HD is what really helped this console. That and the great controller variety, the rise of the eShop, and the fact the games are just excellent this generation.
Pikmin 3 still makes me want to hug Miamoto, just for making a game so good. And Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate almost makes me want to hug Capcom. I said ALMOST lol... Bayonetta 1 and 2 and Wonderful 101 make me want to hug Kamiya for creating such excellent games for us, and the list just goes on and on and on.
Nintendo really stepped up their game as far as software is concerned. Which is good. They have to continue making excellent games to compete with the entirety of the third-party industry.
Nothing to get flustered over, of course they're going to say that. It's their job.
No need to feel threatened when we know it's not true, they know it's not true, and the consumer knows it's not true.
As for the Wii, he's right. The Wii U is indeed a small shadow of the once almighty Wii. HOWEVER, the Wii was so great because the mass casual audience supported it. So while it was a smashing success, it left much to be desired for gamers like us. Ironically, while Wii U leaves much to be desired as far as commercial success is concerned, it's loaded with core software specifically designed for the habitual gamer.
I'll take core software and little sales over sales and little core software any day.
At work. 7 days a week two weeks in a row now (19 days straight without a day off), and it's gonna be the same thing next weekend, and Thanksgiving weekend. Even have to work Black Friday we're so busy. But, being that's a paid holiday (2 paid days for Thanxgiving) I'll get triple time for it so I'm not complaining
@rjejr well you can get a free Amiibo with Smash at TRU one of these days, right? That sounds like the best deal. Actually, signing up for Gamers Club Unlocked would probably be your best deal, seeing as it's selling for $30 right now instead of the normal $120. Then you could get Smash for $48, Amiibo for $10.39 and 20% off all your new games til basically 2017. Something to think about anyways
@rjejr I'll be accounting for that one copy of Watch Dogs lol... Best Buy had a sale on eBay for $50 PSN cards for $40 the other day so I was sure to jump on that. If you want a better deal on eShop cards though, Best Buy has doirbuster for 15% off eShop cards, including online. Not as good as the 20% off in times past, but it's the best I've seen since February so I'll take it, about $200-$300 worth to be exact. Got to stock up while it's on discount right?
I just got CoD AW, AC Unity, Halo Master Chief, Tales of Hearts R, Mario Kart 8 DLC, and had Watch Dogs, Smash Bros, Capt Toad, Persona Q, Pokemon Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby Dual Pack, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age Inquisition, GTAV, NES Remix U and NES Remix 3D on the way...
So ya, just a couple games is all
The only franchise licensed stage I think we'll see in the Leaf Cup is Animal Crossing, with a track through the main city. PERHAPS a Luigi's Mansion stage as well.
As for the Bell Cup, surely a 3D World related stage would be in order, perhaps even a new Bowser's Castle considering Dry bowser.
As for the rest of the stages, I think we'll get mostly new stages with maybe one or two retro tracks. Which ones, your guess is as good as mine.
@Jazzer94 I posted about that deal after seeing it on CAG, but upon further investigation couldn't find the deal anywhere in their ad, so I removed the topic until the deal can be confirmed.
Right now the best deals we know of for sure are through Best buy GCU for $10.39/ea and the ToysRus deal were you get one free with Smash Bros
All of them! And I'll use all of them too, might as well. 8 player Smash- me getting stomped on by 7 amiibos lol...
Can't wait to unlock Captain Falcon suit in Mario Kart 8- it'll feel so good in the Blue Falcon racing the Mute City course
@Mr_G Well, with roughly 7.5 million Wii U owners, and over 80% of them age 18-35, and 97% over the age of 12, you'd really think the game would have done better. Especially when those gimped multiplats everyone complains about, even THEY have been known to sell 250k...
But it's like I said, the vast majority of Nintendo gamers don't really want to play anything but 1st party titles. There's a couple hundred thousand of us that have impeccable taste, mostly the fan site gamers really, but the rest just couldn't care less. In fact, not only do they not care about excellent 3rd party titles such as a Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Wonderful 101 or Bayonetta 2, they don't even care about excellent 1st party titles such as Pikmin 3 and DKC Tropical Freeze.
The only games to really sell WELL on Wii U have been Mario, Mario Kart, 2D Mario, and Zelda. A shame, truly. Masterpiece after masterpiece drops on Wii U and struggles to sell a couple hundred thousand copies, while only one or two games a year sell over 1 million copies. It's like, what are people playing? Are they even playing anything at all? Cause it sure doesn't seem like they ever buy any games.
Man, Mute City is a gem! But then again, it always has been hasn't it
Racing as Link in Mario Kart on an F-Zero course. Who woulda thunk...
Also, Dragon Driftwad is serene. Absolutely wonderful course that one. Haven't had a chance to play the 2nd cup, but I'm going to do that right now!
@rjejr Indeed every sale does help, but I think I do it not to increase Nintendo's hardware numbers, but because I like others to share in the joy I feel when I play these games. Joy is meant to be shared, and I can't help myself sometimes when I see people who love video games are oblivious to what they're missing
MK8 DLC started downloading this morning when I was leaving for work. Also getting MK Super Circuit and Pokemon TCG, and maybe Bit Trip Runner as well. Waiting for review of Tengami
@rjejr I tell people about Wii U all the time. Most of the time they haven't a clue what I'm talking about when I tell them what games I'm playing, but I usually explain it to them and show them a few trailers so they understand.
I just tell em pretty much every game you've heard of, isn't going to be on the system. But you'll find an entirely new library of favorite games. It's a completely different way to game (right and proper way if you ask me, with games that still aren't afraid to be just that- games). I tell em you like CoD? Assassin's Creed? You like GTA and all that jab? Forget about those games. You won't find any of em on the Wii U. But you will find some of the best games I've ever played in my life- games that nobody talks about or seems to know about. But they put AAA to shame. That's usually what I tell them, and half the time they end up buying a Wii U. I'm working on coworker number five right now, who wants a Wii U after he gets a new TV.
Hey, on the bright side, concerning Madden and FIFA- Madden 13 and FIFA 13 are on the Wii U- which are basically the exact same games that just came out. In fact, those games should have you covered for the next five years or so
@brandonbwii I kind of feel the same way.
"Big bad-ass mech" lol...
Ya, now you're talking my language!
I was hoping UCraft would be successful, if for nothing else than to rid the Miiverse comments of the perpetual begging for Minecraft.
Judging by how many people post requests for Minecraft on Wii U, I'm VERY surprised this game barely raised $1000. Perhaps most of the requests are from children who do not yet have a means to contribute to crowdfunding? Idk, but I do know there's a demand for a game like that...
It is what it is. I've accepted that the console just isn't going to catch on, and that it'll probably end up sitting alongside the GameCube as equals, not just sales wise, but games-wise too.
And ya know what? I can definitely live with that. I'd rather have great games and no sales than great sales and no games. At least Nintendo has finally moved on from this bygone Wii era and are really pumping out the kind of games I like to see now.
@SavoirFaire Might I suggest Bayonetta 2? Or Perhaps a game you missed from last year such as Pikmin 3 or DKC Tropical Freeze?
@Ryu_Niiyama Glad I could be of service.
I've been trying to get the word out about Gamer's Club Unlocked but a lot of people still don't seem to know about it. Even at $120, you save so much money through the program, but with this current deal they're offering for just $30, it's a no-brainer.
Bear in mind that GCU memberships must be purchased at the customer service desk in store only, but once you have obtained GCU status you can order all your games through their website and get the discount.
@Ryu_Niiyama Yes it does. It even includes the Smash Bros bundle with GameCube controller and adapter.
Best Buy is a gamer's paradise! Gamers Club Unlocked nets you 20% Off every single new game for the next 2 years! PLUS most AAA multiplats have $10 rewards bonuses for pre ordering, making games like Halo Master Chief, GTAV, Far Cry 4, etc all just $38. Even some Nintendo games like Mario Kart 8 had a $10 gas card bonus.
And on top of all that, you get 5% back in rewards for every dollar spent, and ANOTHER 5% if you use their credit card. Plus I'm an Elite member for buying so many games there, so I get 45 day return policy and free shipping on any purchase of any amount, and 10% extra back in rewards. In the end I'm paying around $35 on average for a game on release day.
Normally it's $120 for a GCU membership, but they have a special offer right now where you can get it for 30 bucks. Why anyone would not sign up immediately at that price is beyond me. You could go buy Bayonetta 2 and a GCU membership, and the grand total would only be $78. Which means you just paid 18 bucks to get 20% off every single new game for the next two years, on top of $10 pre order bonus offers that outclass every other retailer in the country.
Jus trying to spread the word. There IS a proper alternative to Gamestop.
I don't like GameStop anymore than the next guy, but if they have something I want and it's exclusive to their store, you best believe I'm going to buy it from them. Case in point- Tales of Hearts R for Vita. The physical release was exclusive to GameStop because they made it happen, and I gladly picked up my copy today. Probably won't set foot in a GameStop until the next time they have an exclusive product, which will be this Shulk Amiibo.
All I know is I'm all over this, and will most likely pick up two for good measure.
@spiffeh Great, because you don't have to pay $90. The current price is $49.99 for Xenoblade and $45 for Metroid Prime Trilogy (PUR). So basically for all its rarity and critical acclaim, you don't have to pay a cent more than when it released to store shelves. It'll just be unwrapped in the used games section. So at launch you paid $50 and got it in cellophane, now you pay $50 and get it without cellophane. So basically you're just giving up plastic wrap. A small price to pay for such a rare and wonderful game.
I'm gonna buy this now, but I think I'll wait for a sale.
But I'm definitely buying it. Feels good supporting Curve Studios- they make such great games
This game looks absolutely crazy.
@Thearnaud44 oh it's most definitely online. Otherwise they wouldn't have shown the chat window and multiple players back at the initial reveal. Only question is how it will work- whether you can play the main story together or if there's a separate mode.
What a deal! Smash, DKC and 3D World are all very choice picks too. And Nintendo Land isn't a slouch either.
Makes me want to go buy a Wii U, even though I've owned one since launch lol...
This is just how RFID chips work. The data they hold is miniscule. The whole point of the chip is for near field detection purposes. I don't think people have a good grasp on the limits of RFID technology at the moment.
And btw everyone, there is currently an Amiibo survey on Club Nintendo. They ask you what kind of features you would like to see them unlock, so this is a perfect opportunity to voice your opinion to Nintendo. Tell them what you would like to see Amiibo do.
In the survey I told them A) unlock characters B) unlock courses/stages C) unlock new outfits (like the Fusion suit in the next Metroid, stuff like that).
Not sure if everyone got the survey but I know I did.
@Thearnaud44 There's a possibility that Shulk Amiibo just might work with the new Xenoblade X- perhaps letting you play as Shulk? At the very least it should work with the port on 3DS.
Definitely diggin' the whole Amiibo thing
Sorry to hear you guys aren't fans of Rainbow Road. I couldn't be more thrilled to have the SNES version included, seeing as we now have the top 3 iconic and memorable Rainbow Road courses of all time in one game.
Besides, for $11 we're getting half a game's worth of content. Even if you hated 50% of every course in the DLC pack, there still would be no room to complain.
I think it's a pre order offer, so I would assume November 12 is the last day you can get the deal. So, no later than Wednesday...

People around the world seem to agree on which leaders possess that mysterious X-factor leadership quality: charisma. Jesus and Buddha had it, and so did Churchill, De Gaulle, FDR, Gandhi, JFK, Reagan and Clinton. Obama had it when he was running for president, but I am not sure whether he still has it or has somehow lost it. I am fairly sure that none of the Republican Candidates have that X-factor of leadership, charisma.
What is charismatic leadership? The 19th century German sociologist Max Weber defined it in terms of "a certain quality of an individual personality, by virtue of which he is set apart from ordinary men and treated as endowed with supernatural, superhuman, or at least specifically exceptional powers or qualities."
Following Weber's tradition, psychological research has primarily looked at the personal qualities underlying charisma. My esteemed colleague and fellow blogger at PT, leadership scholar Ronald Riggio, has studied the personal qualities that make individuals charismatic.1 He finds that charismatic leaders have strong oratory skills and they are very skilled in reading social situations as well as other people's minds.

Body Facts: Respiratory System
- The left lung (consisting of two lobes) is smaller than the right (consisting of three lobes), because the heart takes up more space on the left side of the chest cavity.
- Hairs in the nose help clean the air we breathe in as well as warm it.
- The highest recorded "sneeze speed" is 165 km (102.5 miles) per hour.
- The surface area of the lungs is roughly the same size as a tennis court.
- The capillaries in the lungs would extend 1,600 km (994 mi.) if laid out end to end.
- We lose half a liter (about 0.5 quart) of water a day by breathing. It is visible as water vapor when we breathe onto glass.
- A person at rest usually breathes between 12 and 15 times a minute.
- About every seventh breath we take is significantly deeper than the others.

I am already starting to think about Drake and Juliet's birthdays in the summer, which got me thinking about party planning in other months as we start to think about trying for our third child. Here are some great party themes for every season of the year.
Though I have two summer babies I have always wanted to try a milk and cookies party. This can obviously be done any time of the year but something about winter time makes me think of cookies, leaving them out for Santa, baking treats as gifts, and also I imagine milk to do better sitting out in colder months vs warmer months outside. You can make a cookie buffet for the kids to sample or even let them get into the decorating themselves with a cookie making station.
You could also make a gingerbread themed party in the month of December before the holidays! A hot cocoa bar would be a wonderful addition as well!

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Ottawa calls in Algerian envoy to clarify claim of Canadian link to al-Qaida
OTTAWA - The Foreign Affairs Department has called in Algeria's ambassador to Canada to get more information on why the country's prime minister labelled some of the hostage-takers in last week's gas-plant siege as Canadian.
The diplomatic discussion was part of Ottawa's ongoing efforts to either confirm or debunk reports that there were two Canadians among the terrorists involved in the attack on the remote plant in the Algerian desert.
The federal government is trying to determine whether any key papers that might point to Canadian involvement are valid or fake, and they're growing frustrated with the lack of detailed information coming from Algerian officials.
Canadian diplomats in Algeria are also requesting access to the information the Algerians are using to identify any of the militants as "Canadian," a government official said.
Some 37 hostages and 29 militants were killed when Algerian forces stormed the complex; five other foreign workers remain unaccounted for.
Meanwhile, U.S. observers played down any concerns Tuesday that the reports could undermine confidence in Canada south of the border.
Even if Canadians are indeed found to be among the militants in Algeria, it's not likely to cause any lingering security concerns south of the border, say U.S. observers.
That's because the two North American neighbours — the world's two largest trading partners — are already seeing the benefits of more than 10 years of efforts to deepen co-operation on security and trade.
The perimeter security pact, signed by U.S. President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Stephen Harper some 13 months ago, has deepened intelligence sharing and debunked U.S. perceptions that Canada was a haven for terrorists.
Debunking that view became a major preoccupation for Canadian diplomats following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S., when erroneous reports initially emerged that some of the 9-11 hijackers had gained entry through Canada.
"I don't think it will be a rift, but it's a reminder certainly for the Obama administration that some of these problems have an impact close to home," said Chris Sands, a veteran expert on Canada-U.S. relations with Washington's Hudson Institute.
More problematic, though, was the 1999 arrest of Algerian-born, Montreal-based al-Qaida member Ahmed Ressam, who was caught trying to enter the U.S. in a plot to blow up Los Angeles International Airport on New Year's Eve.
"In some ways, the United States was always a little more worried about the Algerian community that settled in Montreal and what they were up to," said Sands.
"After Ressam, the Americans were saying this community is a problem … and Canada was in some sort of denial, saying these are legitimate Canadians, we can't single them out, this is unfair, we're casting aspersions."
Over the last 10 years, "Canada started to take the challenge more seriously as well — not accusing the whole community of being a problem, but trying to do a better job of gathering intelligence."
Even if Canadian documents were used by terrorists in North Africa, it won't be enough to undermine confidence among U.S. government officials, added David Biette, director of the Canada Institute at Woodrow Wilson International Centre in Washington.
"If we looked at any bad thing that someone carrying a Canadian passport did anywhere in the world, to have it affect bilateral relations, I think we'd be wasting our time," said Biette.
"The security services that protect North America are good. They watch people going into Canada, they watch people going into the United States, and the effort is to keep the bad guys out and let the commerce go through."
The perimeter security deal, which will be phased in over several years, aims to smooth the passage of goods and people across the 49th parallel while bolstering defences along the continental border.
Citizenship and Immigration is the lead department on 10 perimeter initiatives. The most controversial may be a plan to keep track of everyone entering and leaving the country, with the help of information from the U.S.
Ottawa will help Washington do the same thing by systematically providing information on all travellers entering Canada from the U.S.
The plans entail greater exchange of both simple biographic and biometric data, and will be covered by a forthcoming Immigration Information Sharing Treaty.
That deeper co-operation, said Biette, is helping lay to rest any past concerns in the U.S. about Canada.
"Some of that means we're going to have to share information with each other," he said. "I am very aware and I think most Americans working on this are sensitive to the issue of privacy in Canada, which is different from Europe, different from the Americans."
The Canadian Press also obtained documents last month that showed Canada and the U.S. plan to join forces in order to better deal with "irregular flows'' of refugees that turn up in North America or migrate within the continent.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version referred to the Algerian president.
