The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world.

Florida Flat Roof
Hi Everyone..I have a two year old granulated flat roof in Florida. My house is getting extremely hot inside. I have no attic for the air to flow. My central air conditioner unit is only two years old. I know it's my flat roof. My question is, can I apply a white elastomeric roof coating on my granulated flat roof without doing any damage to my new roof? In hopes of reflecting the sun light so my house will stay cooler. Thank you so much for any help.

text: Hollywood Playbook: Monday's Top 5 News Items Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 9 Jun 2014 post a comment Variety: Taxpayers Will Subsidize Hollywood Forever According to Variety, 40 states out of 50 now offer some kind of incentive to attract Hollywood film and television productions. Permanency -- of what is known as "corporate welfare" when Hollywood's Top 1% are not benefitting -- is becoming more and more important to productions deciding where to go for their taxpayer-funded handout. This is especially true for television series that want to locate to a place and stay there through the run of the series. The rich get richer. Tax cuts for the wealthy. Corporate welfare. The middle class funding an industry that is not only hostile to them but advocates for raising their taxes and energy prices… However you want to put it, it is appalling, and I am very pleased that in my home state of North Carolina, we have at least phased some of this nonsense out: In North Carolina, even though a number of Republicans had been critical of the program, the state Senate earlier this week passed an incentive program to replace its existing tax credit that expires at the end of this year. The new program is not as generous: it creates a grant program rather than a tax credit. The maximum grant to a single project is capped at $5 million, from the current $20 million in maximum credits. But supporters hope to get a better program as the Assembly considers legislation that would extend the credit. The reality for the state, a production hub for the past 30 years where such shows as "Under the Dome" were made and movies like "Iron Man 2″ were shot, is that it may very well lose production to nearby Georgia without a significant program. There, producers are so convinced that the program will endure that Pinewood Studios built a studio near Atlanta. "It's about educating. It's about giving the right message at the right time," said Aaron Syrett, director of the North Carolina Film Office. It makes me more than a little nauseous to think the Harvey Weinsteins of the world are getting a piece of my labors. They hate me and I would appreciate the right to hate them back. Tom Cruise's Upcoming Films are More Than a Little Depressing Domestically, "Edge of Tomorrow" earned a little shy of $30 million this weekend but was the top worldwide grosser. At best, Tom Cruise's career is treading water. Grosses for "Edge," which probably won't break $100 million domestic, surely did nothing to lift this once-infallible megastar out of his career doldrums. Because of that reality, according to IMDB, Tom Cruise's career is about to get a whole lot safer and dumber. Cruise has 4 upcoming films listed - three sequels and a remake: Jack Reacher 2, Top Gun 2, Mission: Impossible 5, and Van Helsing. After the first Mission: Impossible in '96, Cruise made Jerry Maguire, Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Mission: Impossible 2, and Vanilla Sky. Those were the days. At 52, Cruise should now be at a point in his career like the Paul Newmans, Robert Redfords, and other Giants in their middle age: where they have nothing left to prove and can take interesting roles. But the couch jumping/Scientology debacle 10 years ago means Cruise has to keep treading blockbuster water to stay alive and relevant. Big loss for him. Bigger loss for us. How Hyper-Editing Murders The Potential for Legendary Status Over the weekend the wife and I decided to re-watch the first and best "Pirates of the Caribbean," which has lost absolutely none of its marvelous entertainment value. The sword fight (embedded below) between Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom happens early in the film. This is the first time Jack Sparrow and Will Turner meet. It's plenty entertaining. Depp is hilarious. But what could have been an iconic scene, just isn't. Watch: -- -- Compare that to this scene from Errol Flynn's 1939 "The Adventure of Robin Hood": -- -- By today's standards, the "Pirates" scene is probably more entertaining for most but only because America has ADD. But which scene is The Standard to which all others fall short? The athleticism, prowess, and skill Basil Rathbone and Flynn put on display is unforgettable, and has risen to the status of legendary and iconic because we know it's for real. The editing doesn't create the energy, the actors and choreography do. We marvel at how practiced and natural the performers look. Without exaggerating, I have seen this movie at least 30 times. That scene still makes me feel like a 12 year-old. But here's my point… Maybe Depp and Bloom worked just as hard and were just as skilled as Flynn and Rathbone. Maybe if there weren't 9,000 edits creating an artificial energy in their fight scene, that scene might be remembered as something more than just an entertaining lark. The same is true for modern musicals. Cathrine Zeta-Jones needs no help in the sexy, charismatic, and talented department. In 2002, she starred in and won a supporting Oscar for her role in "Chicago." A dozen years later, though, who remembers the film, much less the musical numbers? Below is her "All That Jazz" number. Ask yourself: Was all that editing and inter-cutting necessary? Wouldn't Zeta-Jones and the audience have been better served if the camera had danced with her (like it did with Eleanor Powell, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers) instead of what we get, which is a sequence edited to within an inch of its life? -- -- Maybe if the camera had stayed on Zeta-Jones and moved with her, she would have at least had the opportunity to deliver something every bit as timeless and unforgettable as this simple scene from "Singin' In the Rain" 62 years ago. If you compare the two scenes, the cut ratio is so high in "Chicago" you can hardly keep up: -- -- There was such a thing as editing during the Golden Age. If The Masters who made those films wanted to, nothing was stopping them from slicing and dicing Gene, Fred, Ginger, Eleanor, Errol, Basil, or Tyrone. They all knew, though, that the one true and lasting way to wow audiences was to let them see that the performers were really doing it. The thrills all came from them, not post-production. This hyper-editing is not only an injustice to the audience, but also to actors who at least deserve a shot at creating an iconic moment that will live on long past their careers. The editing might fool people in the short term, but as time passes and the sugar high fades away, all we're left with is the smell of plastic phoniness. 'Yes Man' Director to Helm Marvel's 'Ant Man' "Ant Man," another franchise installment in the Marvel cha-ching Universe, just lost Edgar Wright, the director who had been attached to the project for years. Just announced as his replacement is 50 year-old television/feature director Peyton Reed. It looks as though Reed divides his career between television movies and series, and feature films. He directed 2006's The Break Up" with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, Jim Carrey's "Yes Man" in '09, and "Bring It On" in '02. Everybody's got to start their blockbuster career somewhere, right? And "Bring It On" remains one of the great comedies of the new century. Comedy director Adam McKay is handling the rewrite, so it looks as though "Ant Man" is going for the funny. You can question Marvel's decisions, but are we really going to second guess the most successful going concern in Hollywood right now? I'm certainly not. "Ant Man" is locked into a July, 2015 release date. "Premium" Theatres Still Don't Offer People What They Really Want The New York Post's Reed Tucker says that Regal Theatres is preparing to offer "premium" theatres guaranteed to deliver a "premium experience." For $20 to $25 you will enjoy bigger screens, better sound, comfier chairs, and something called VIP seating. Whatever. Tucker ends his piece with my exact thoughts: "[H]ow about holding 'No talking, no texting' screenings? I'd easily pay $5 more to watch a movie in an auditorium policed by staff who would enforce the rules." Same here. If Regal or any theatre were to guarantee the following five things, I would happily pay $20 to $25… Keep your comfy chairs and VIP seating, this is what everyone really wants: 1. Talkers get tossed immediately 2. Texters get tossed immediately 3. Anyone crinkling a wrapper for more than 30 seconds gets tossed at second 31 4. No one is allowed to come in late (they always sit directly behind me) 5. You get 5 sniffs and 5 throat clearings. Once you hit 6, buh-bye Maybe 5 is a bit much, but you get my point and know I'm 100% correct. All premium seating means to me is that I would pay even more money to be aggravated. No thanks. Knock wood, my local movie-going experiences of late have been remarkably pleasant. But I tend to go on Thursday nights when the hardcore fans who really want to see the movie show up.

Lester W. Mitchel, 93 of Roanoke passed away early Saturday morning, April 21, 2012 at the Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne.
Mr. Mitchel worked at City Light & Power in Decatur and then retired from Indiana/Michigan Power Co. in 1983 after 49 years.
In Friday's edition, the names of two surviving sons, and one deceased daughter, were inadvertently omitted from the obituary of Wanda J. Eyanson.
Not listed were Edward A. Eyanson of Columbus, Ga.; James R. Eyanson of Celina, Ohio; and Janet Rhodes.
Disaster of the training variety struck Decatur on Monday night as various local emergency services participated in a table-top exercise.
The mock disaster involved a huge tornado which tore through Decatur and caused widespread damage, including striking Bellmont High School.
Fifteen to 20 people were involved in the three-hour exercise conducted at the Decatur fire station on Seventh St., starting around 5:30 p.m.
With two of its five members absent, Berne City Council conducted only a portion of its planned business Monday evening, while postponing other actions until the full body is present.
Two planned public hearings went ahead as scheduled, including a session to accept comment on a proposal to establish an Economic Revitalization Area at EP Graphics as part of a 10-year tax abatement request.
Funeral services are pending at Elzy-Patterson-Rodak Funeral Home in Ossian for Zachary Wendell McKee, a 27-year-old Ossian resident who died Sunday in an unusual accident.
According to reports, McKee fell onto the electrified third rail at a CTA Purple Line station in the Chicago suburb of Evanston on Sunday. The death has been ruled an accident.
Zachary Wendell McKee, 27, of Ossian, died Sunday.
Arrangements are pending at Elzy-Patterson-Rodak Funeral Home, Ossian.
MONROE— The wind was not the craziest part of AC's baseball contest hosting Jay County as the game also featured two hit batsmen that were not awarded first base because the official did not see the contact, three ground-rule doubles that slipped through the fence at almost the exact same spot, an offensive struggle that saw 20 base-runners stranded by both teams, and a three-run seventh inning for AC to come from behind and defeat the Patriots, 4-3 at the Hangar on Monday night.
MONROE— To call it breezy outside during Bellmont and Adams Central's tennis meet at AC on Monday night would be like saying Monica Seles made a few noises when she played tennis.
Seles was not present at the Hangar on Monday, but the Squaws and Lady Jets were, and their much anticipated rivalry this season did not disappoint, with AC squeaking out a 3-2 victory over the visiting Bellmonters from across the county.
The Democrat has been informed that local emergency services departments will be holding a table top mock disaster exercise over a period of three hours starting around 5:30 this evening at the Decatur fire station.
The mock disaster will involve a tornado hitting Decatur.
The entire exercise will be played out in the fire station.
Following the exercise, the response of various departments will be critiqued.
Decatur police are continuing their investigation into a Sunday evening assault and robbery at a local eatery.
Chief Ken Ketzler said this morning that police were called to the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant on N. 13th Street around 10:30 p.m. after a store employee was battered and tied up. Ketzler said the assailant then stole the worker's car and fled the scene.

Vegan Snacks and Dips
Spicy Cilantro Crackers – Vegan and Gluten Free
Crackers are great little gems to have tucked away for the random occasion when you need something quick, savory and snappy. They shine in celebratory times where they make there subtle, but necessary, appearance on party trays. They come to the rescue during more dismal times–acting as the only food some folks can stomach when feeling under the weather. They also work well as a simple and delicious snack, for no good reason at all. Recipe and photo contributed by Allyson Kramer, from Manifest Vegan. more→
Green Bean and Cashew Pâté
This is a version of a recipe that circulates as "mock chopped liver," though this doesn't resemble or taste like chopped liver in an way. An even more traditional version of this is Passover Mock Chopped Liver, which is made with mushrooms. Really, this one isn't mock-anything, just delicious in its own right. Serve it with any kind of cracker, or as a spread for fresh bread. more→
White Bean and Sun-Dried Tomato Pâté
Here's an old standby that never fails to please — a savory spread based on creamy white beans, accentuated with sun-dried tomatoes. Serve with raw vegetables and crispbreads. Make the sliceable version of Smoky Cheddar Cheez and serve with crisp red grapes for a lovely array of appetizers. Photo by Gail Calvert Rollins. more→
Spinach and Cucumber Spread or Dip
One of my old favorites, this tasty spinach spread, with hints of dill and crisp cucumber, never loses its charm. Serve with fresh bread, whole-grain crackers, crispbreads, or raw veggies. This is compatible with carrots, cauliflower, bell pepper, and celery. more→
Classic Hummus, with variations
What's a vegan web site without a basic recipe for hummus? Here's ours, with a few tasty variations. This classic Middle Eastern dip is great teamed with fresh pita bread and crisp veggies for scooping it up. It's a fantastic snack for kids and a great ingredient for wraps or pita sandwiches.
Flavored Popcorn Recipes and Ideas
Here are flavoring ideas for embellishing freshly made popcorn. These recipes make enough to flavor a 10-cup batch (from about 1/2 cup kernels). If you air-pop or use fat-free microwave popcorn, you might like to drizzle 2 tablespoons or so of melted Earth Balance or coconut oil into the popcorn just before adding the seasonings. My favorite way to pop corn is in an Old Fashioned Popcorn Popper like the one made by Jacob Bromwell. Very low-tech, but it seems to bring out the best flavor from the popcorn.

Peanut Butter Dip for Apples or Veggies
I whipped this up one afternoon as a quick snack and served it with apple sticks. The next morning I spread it on toast for breakfast. This could make a great lunch served with a green smoothie and fresh veggie sticks. Contributed by April Jones.

Is it a phone? Is it a tablet? Is it a laptop? Well, it's a three-in-one. Yes, today we live in a world where one smart device doesn't suffice our needs. We need a smartphone for certain tasks, we need a tablet for other things and nothing beats the utility of a physical keyboard for typing.
But what if we had one device that could work as all three? We have seen tablets that come with keyboard docks that give them the utility of a netbook, but nothing that incorporates a smartphone into the mix.
Today we have with us the Asus PadFone. It is smartphone that comes with a docking station making it a tablet that also comes with a keyboard dock that should give it the utility of a netbook. Is this truly a three-in-one device, or are you better off getting three different products?
Design and Build
First, the phone part of the Asus PadFone itself – the build is very nice, and has a very premium feel to it. The rear has a textured, rippled plastic finish to it, similar to what we have seen on the Asus Zenbook ultrabook and the Transformer Prime tablet. The smartphone has a teardrop design which makes it nice to hold in one hand. The side of the phone has this aluminium bezel making it feel premium.
The front of the device has the 4.3-inch super AMOLED display. The rear houses the 8MP camera with the LED flash. The top has the on/off/sleep/wake switch along with the headphones jack and the right has the volume rocker. There is no dedicated camera button and this is missed on the smartphone. The left has the microUSB port for charging and another port that connects the smartphone to the tablet dock.
As mentioned earlier, the Asus PadFone has a teardrop design but this design element isn't as evident as it is on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It makes the smartphone very comfortable to hold and its size is great for use with both as well as single hand use.
Moving to the design of the Asus PadFone's tablet dock, we see it has a 10.1-inch display, clear black borders and the VGA camera for video chatting. The left and right side of the screen have what appears to be speaker grills but that isn't the case. A single speaker rests at the rear of the device and these grills are more of a design element and have as little utility as adding to the grip.
The left of the Asus PadFone's tablet dock has the headphones jack and the volume rocker, while the bottom has the charging port as well as ports that fix it in the keyboard dock. The top has the on/off/sleep/wake switch along with a slider that releases the panel where the phone can be inserted. This pocket, where the phone can be inserted, sticks out a bit from the rear of the tablet. It isn't a bad design choice; it's just that it's a prominent bulge. This pocket too has the same textured finish found at the back of the phone. The hinge of this pocket seems sturdy and well constructed. Inserting the phone is simple, as all you have to do is align the ports, insert the phone and you're done.
Coming to the final accessory, the Asus PadFone's keyboard dock – put simply, it is the same one that is found on the Asus Transformer Prime. The right of the dock has the SD card slot and a full sized USB port. The left has one more full sized USB port, charger connector and a battery indicator. The keys on the keyboard are well laid out and even though the keys do feels a bit small, there is enough spacing between them to feel comfortable during typing.
Features and Specifications
The PadFone (smartphone) has a dual-core 1.5GHz Krait CPU with the Adreno 225 GPU, coupled with 1GB of RAM. The 4.3-inch AMOLED display has a 540 x 960 pixel (qHD) resolution. Not a Retina Display, but quite impressive nonetheless.
It comes with 16/32/64GB built-in storage options, expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. It is powered by a 1520mAh battery. That's the specifications of the phone. The tablet dock has no processing power driving it. It is just a 10.1-inch representation of the content and the power that drives the phone. The 10.1-inch display has a resolution of 1280x800, which is nice, and the whole dock is powered by a 6600mAh battery. It is on the heavier side weighing 724 grams and may be a little difficult to handle with one hand use.
The Asus PadFone runs on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich straight out of the box, an OS optimised for use on both a smartphone and tablet. The OS is skinned so it isn't a stock Android experience but the customization isn't as deep as let us say, the Sense UI from HTC, or the TouchWiz UI from Samsung. It's much lighter in comparison. You do have some nifty widgets like the power widget, task manager widget and the weather widget that add a bit of variety to the device and you also have the slew of other standard Android widgets to customize the home screen.
The swipe down notifications menu on the Asus PadFone gives you access to the standard slew of settings with one nifty addition – adjusting the brightness. Sure, we have seen this implemented in TouchWiz, but there is something called as outdoor mode, which makes the display a lot more vibrant and more comfortable to use under direct sunlight. The same is available on the tablet as well and it is one feature we truly appreciate.
Since the Asus PadFone functions as a smartphone and a tablet, there is a separate section on the device called Pad Only. This is the place where the tablet specific apps are housed. Another nifty feature is the addition of full USB support from the keyboard dock, making data access on the tablet easy.
You also get a stylus with the tablet. Even though it doesn't have the same diverse functionality as the S-Pen that comes with the Samsung Galaxy Note, Note II or the Note 800, but it does have one very unique functionality – it doubles up as an earpiece and mic for your tablet. Say you have docked the tablet, and are typing a document sitting in a café. You aren't going to receive a call on the tablet via the loud speaker. It is plain embarrassing. The pen however gives you the ability to have a private conversation, just as you would on a phone. Although using a pen like device in public will make you look like a fool, it may make you feel like James Bond at the same time.
The performance of the Asus PadFone as a smartphone is really good with one drawback – the onscreen keyboard. The keyboard on the smartphone doesn't have the best layout and even though the touchscreen responds to a feather touch, the keyboard doesn't. Sometimes you have to make an effort to type and that isn't a good thing.
In its raw performance, the Asus PadFone performed quite well. Its performance was a bit less when compared to the quad-core behemoths flooding the market but it wasn't too far away. In the dual-core race however, the device performed quite well. To put things into perspective, below is a benchmark comparison between the Asus PadFone, LG Optimus 4X HD, Sony Xperia Ion and the Samsung Galaxy S III.
In real world usage the Asus PadFone perfomed quite well. The call quality from the phone is excellent. It is crisp at both ends and sounded quite good even in crowded scenarios. The loud speaker on the tablet is good as well, producing clear and audible sound. What surprised us was the call quality from the pen. It was crisper than some of the phones we have tested, and that is a very good thing.
The video playback on both the Asus PadFone smartphone and the tablet was really good. The representation of colour was crisp and nice although the black levels were a bit lower than we'd like. Even in fast action sequences, there was less blur and loss of pixels making this device quite good for watching videos.
Android's app market (the Google Play store) doesn't have too many tablet specific apps but the ones that are there run nicely on the Asus PadFone tablet dock's 10.1-inch display. It's particularly fun to play games on the screen of the tablet.
The battery life on the Asus PadFone is its best feature. Asus claims that combining all three – the phone, tablet and keyboard dock the device will last for 105 hours. The phone itself will last for one and a half days of average use, and that is very impressive.
Bottom Line
As a concept the PadFone works well. It tries to bring the best of three worlds in one device, but at what cost? Rs. 65,000 is a little expensive. We like the idea of using the pen as the phonem but there is no place in the tablet or the keyboard dock to house it, giving it a lifespan of two days. If you are in the market to pick up a smartphone, you can get the iPhone 5 in this budget, or an iPad and a decent Android smartphone. It is not exactly a value-for-money product. But if you are the kind of person who wants one gadget to fulfil your smartphone, tablet and netbook needs, you can consider picking this device up however. If that is the case, we would recommend waiting for the PadFone 2.

More reviews by SeashellsInSummer
I adore face products from physician's formula because they're higher quality than most mid end brands and they don't break me out. This foundation is perfect for me as it never looks cakey or shiny or mask like; just smooth, poreless and fresh. It is the only liquid foundation I like and I've tried tons, including bb creams which I feel are highly overrated. I also love the matching concealer and powder, and I highly recommend them.
Very thick & paste like. Hard to blend & has funny smell (that I don't particularly enjoy!). I don't use foundation often, so I kept this in makeup case to try mixing w moisturizer- to make more like a bb cream. Still looked muddy. & made me look wrinky! And it was a shade lighter, so I don't get it. Usually PF looks too pale on me. I used to love their makeup, but the last couple yrs everything I get ends up in the trash!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is not a good foundation. Only applies properly with fingers. The brush has a nice handle and that is about it so I am keeping the product for the handle on the brush (maybe that was their gimmick). However this brush is only about good for using to apply a face mask with , not for makeup application. Now, on to the product...
i changed my mind. HG summer foundation here!
This is like no other foundation I have ever ever tried. It is so oil controling! But it will not make you look flat! the color, medium, is perfect and brightening on me. VERY easy to blend
I use becca primer underneath and I actually dust a bit of mineral powder on before, applying this. Trust me, it is an excellent technique
I use this to cut the white sheen I get from my zo based sunscreens. I mix a drop of this into the sunscreen. i like the fact that it also gives a little ZO based sun protection. The grainyness is there, but it does not feel grainy going on or bother me on my skin.
I use the medium shade for my NC25ish skin. Again, just a tiny amout.
i imagine this would be quite pasty and chalky if used on its own. But for my purposes....adding a tiny bit of coverage and eliminating that white cast....it is OK.
Bought this on a whim and tried it out today. Glad I wasn't going out of the house otherwise I would of had to wash my face immediately and start over. While the coverage was good, (I bought the lightest shade available) it was far too dark for my skin tone and makes it look like a fake tan on my skin and too thick . If only it was available in lighter shades, it might work but sadly that isn't the case, in the trash it goes :(
More reviews by lipglossjunkee
I bought this for 40% off at Rite Aid, thinking "What the heck, that's a decent price" and purchased it in the lightest shade (Fair, I believe--I'm NC20). I had read a ton of reviews on here before buying it, and still felt it was a safe bet.
Well, needless to say, I returned it and wouldn't purchase again. It was thick, cakey, didn't want to spread well, and looked patchy on me all day (over moisturizer and primer). I didn't much like the smell, either. The shade match was ok, I will give it that. I have combo skin and my dry spots did NOT like this at all, plus it left me shiny in the T zone. Definitely not worth the regular price of $14/tube. I didn't touch the brush it came with.
This is the only drugstore foundation out there that says it is gluten-free.
It's very matte, which is great if you have oily skin. It works well on very pale skin if you have the "Fair" shade and apply it with a light hand. It actually cleared up my face, somewhat.
This is very good stuff, and I'm very grateful that it exists.
Also, it's a rosacea cure, and it will make your pores smaller. (Visibly smaller.) The first ingredient is zinc oxide, which is an old-timey cure for rosacea--and it works!!!
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought the "Light" color and it was just way too dark and orange on me. It's a shame because I liked a lot about the product. The packaging was great; I am a big fan of tubes. The foundation comes out like a thick mousse, but spreads easily on skin. The finish is quite matte, almost powdery. I never used the brush it came with, just my fingers.
I think this was about $15, which is expensive for drugstore foundation. But at least you do get a decent amount of it (I routinely pay $14 for my Revlon Colorstay Whipped makeup, and you don't get as much product for the money).
I really like this foundation! It is very thick and imo is full coverage. It covers everything and its just great. Definitely will keep purchasing.
My skin background : Oily, sensitive, currently MAC NC30-35 for reference, yellow undertone.
This foundation is a good medium (buildable) coverage foundation for me. The consistency is very thick - like that of a creme to powder thick paste. There is not a strong smell, more like a powdery light scent. It claims to provide smooth, flawless, even, youthful, airbrushed look and it does deliver quite nice for my skin!
I bought my foundation in the shade Medium Beige, which has a yellow undertone, and that is a great match for me. It covered and concealed my hyper-pigmentation on my cheeks, and evened my skin-tone around my eyes, while maintaining a natural cake-free looking finish. The finish is more on the matte side, and lasts about a good 5-6 hours before I need to touch up, which is typical for most foundations. I think it's a great light weight foundation for summer, but I'd imagine I wouldn't like this in the winter........
I have worn this foundation with AND without a primer, and I feel that it delivered just the same! I do have to put a finishing powder on to set my foundation, as my oily skin likes to seep through after a few hours. This product did not break me out, or make my face look crazily cakey. I also double this up as concealer, since I do not necessarily need a ton of concealing. Overall, I do like this foundation! Although this is not my holy grail for foundations, I would probably repurchase if I ever ran out of it!

Balasan kami:
Thank you for consuming products of Hai-O Marketing.

Hi Doc,
i am 31 years old and had been diagnosed with endometriosis about 8 months ago but had yet to undergone any laparscopy surgery to remove. I am in severe pain, hands and legs are always cold. My abodminal pain is always there. The doctor had advised me to go on hormonal pills to make the blood cyst quiet and shrink its growth. I do also have 2 small fabroids in my uterus. I am not into the idea of taking conceptrative pills.
My question is can I take the Bai Feng Wan to stop the implant from growing or curing it?? I am now on strict diet, taking vege and fruit juices to cleanse my body. i had also bought supplements like liver tonic, vitamin E and taking Krill oil, as well as women daily multivtamin.
Kindly please advice as i am in great dilemma now as what should I do.The pain is very severe at times and I have constipation problems which according to doctor, it may due to endometriosis.
Appreaciate your reply and advice.
Thank you.
Chinese physician answer:
Endometriosis is a female health disorder that occurs when cells from the lining of the womb (uterus) grow in other areas of the body. This can lead to pain, irregular bleeding, and problems getting pregnant (infertility). During the menstruation, it will cause abdominal intestinal pain, backache even nose bleeding & dental bleeding. Generally, doctor will prescribe to the patient according to their situation or surgery.
Chinese physician called it as dysmenorrhea, caused by Qi stagnation, asthenia cold, deficiency of Qi and Blood, impairment of the liver and kidney etc.
You are advised to seek consultancy from Chinese physician for treatment and diagnosis, it would be better.

Chinese physician jawab:
Minta maaf atas kelewatan balasan kerana Chinese physician tiada di pejabat sebelum ini.
Hypertyroid anda mula stabil tetapi masih perlu mengambil ubat sampai suatu tempoh masa. Berkenaan dengan berhenti makan ubat atau mengurangkan dosnya, anda boleh meminta nasihat daripada doktor.
Anda boleh bergabung dengan perubatan Cina dan mendapat bantuan daripada Chinese physician. Mereka akan memberi ubat yang sesuai mengikut keadaan badan anda.

Hello Dr.
Would like to know why is there a tiny dark brown spot in the white eye ball?
Does that mean that our kidney or liver need to be rejuvenated? What would be the right herbs that you recommend to consume?
Thanks doc. for your early reply!
Best regards!
Chinese physician answer:
A tiny dark brown spot in the white eye ball may be formed due to the impact of physical factors such as ultraviolet or sand. Normally, it will not need any special treatment. Unless the dark brown spot or patche become bigger,you have to pay attention on it.
If you are worried, please consult the ophthalmologist.

It was only a matter of time. Even though her hit single "Call Me Maybe" has been everywhere recently, Carly Rae Jepsen wasn't going to be certifiably famous until she had one alleged nude scandal. That happened Monday, when nude photos, rumored to be of Jepsen, hit the Interwebs. (You can see the NSFW pics here.)
So were the photos really Jepsen? Luckily for the 26-year-old songstress, they were not. The actual woman showing her lady parts on the Internet is 21-year-old model Destiny Benedict, who acknowledged the resemblance in a tweet on Tuesday.
"Well I just want to say this Carly Rae is a beautiful girl and i'm honored to have been mistaken as her," she writes.
Jepsen's spokesperson was also quick to say that the photos weren't her client, telling Mr. Paparazzi that, "This is 200% NOT Carly."
And a good thing too, because Ms. Benedict likes to get naked a lot and even has an unfortunate nickname that, in the interest of staying classy, we won't print here.
That's wouldn't exactly be the best image for an up-and-coming Canadian star who was signed by Justin Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun. But everyone seems to have their own porn-star look-alike moment nowadays, so Jepsen should just consider it flattering instead of an insult. And if she ever needs a doppelganger in one of her videos, she should probably call Benedict, maybe?

Premier trampolines has a 15ft springless trampoline. we looked at other types of springless trampoline but this one was by far the best quality. The springless trampoline has a really thick net. the zipper is easy for the kids to use. The springs under the pad concerned me, my kids are young, under the pad is pretty soft and you also get the pad. The kids like the jump on it. the ladder make it really easy for the kdis to get in and get out. I ordered the trampoline on monday and had it by wednesday of the same week. Putting it up was easy. The book is pretty easy to follow but i watched the video they have online and that helped. As long as you follow the instructions and put it up on flat ground it went up without a hitch. We are really happy with the quality of the trampoline.

Should've gone to Specsavers? Well that depends on how much you like paying over the odds for identical contact lenses you could have bought at Feel Good Contacts for a fraction of the price.
Great ad campaign for sure. But someone has to pay for all those TV ads, the billboards, the marketing – let alone running all those expensive retail locations. And we all know who that someone is. The customer of course.
Take away the box and the campaigns and the Specsavers contact lenses are exactly the same as ones we sell here at Feel Good. Other than the price - or our world class customer service - or the fast delivery there's no difference.
Brilliant contact lenses from the likes of Baush& Lomb, Ciba Vision, CooperVision all available at a blissfully more attractive prices than on the High Street.
SpecsaversEasyvision Monthly lenses for example. Branded here under CooperVision's original name as Biomedics 55 Evolutionand considerably cheaper for it.
Another example - SpecsaversEasyvision Elite Monthly (Diameter 14.0), sold here under their Bausch & Lomb manufacturer's name as Purevision.
And it's not just on the Hight Street that Specsavers contact lenses come out more expensive. Online too, even when they list the original manufacturers again, there are serious Feel Contact Contacts savings to be had.
Should've gone to Specsavers? Should come to Feel Good Contacts more like.

Chicken Stock
Chicken bones (from a whole chicken or legs), about 2-3 lbs
3 carrots, cut in half
1 onion, cut in quarters
6 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp. black peppercorns
1 Tbsp. sea salt
Handful of fresh parsley
Handful of fresh parsley
1 bay leaf (optional)
1 Tbsp. RAW apple cider vinegar
Add all ingredients in a large stock pot. (This can be made with just the bones, salt and vinegar but the veggies add more flavor.) Fill with filtered water until covered. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam. Add apple cider vinegar. Lower to a simmer and cook for at least 4 hours. The longer the better! Strain and cool. Store in mason quart jars.
**I like to freeze a couple of jars for storing. I have not had glass break, but have heard it does happen. I leave a good two inches of space at the top of jar and do not screw the lids on tight until completely frozen.

The 2015 Porsche Macan is an extremely rewarding driver's car, yet promises all-around practicality with its all-wheel-drive system and compact SUV cabin space, making it the most universally usable model in the Porsche line-up.
A year after exiting BlackBerry, Thorsten Heins weighs in on his time at the smartphone maker and dishes on his current phone.
Could the new 2015 Porsche Macan become the car maker's new best seller, over its current best seller, the Cayenne SUV? Brian Cooley takes it for a drive and checks the tech.
This year, Porsche made its 24-hour comeback. XCAR spoke to some legends, past and present, about what made Le Mans their race -- and why they're back.
Porsche Macan marks the beginning of several chapters for the carmaker, plus a new list of the safest cheap first cars for teens and the new options that are putting the squeeze on car radio.
Porsche Macan marks the beginning of several chapters for the carmaker, plus a new list of the safest cheap first cars for teens and the new options that are putting the squeeze on car radio.
Now that the Cayenne has become accepted among the Porsche faithful, the Macan should be no surprise. Yet this new compact SUV is something of a revelation, featuring phenomenal handling, power and new tech features.
The Porsche Design P'9983 by BlackBerry is a Qwerty keyboard-packing BlackBerry Q10 with a fancier body and a higher price.
With its roots planted in the now defunct Group B Rally series the 959 brought together the best the German manufacturer had to offer. XCAR took this beast out for a spin to relive the magic.
Porsche used to be pretty good when it came to Le Mans. It won everything, all the time. However, for one reason or other the brand hasn't been there since 1998. 2014 sees the 919 Hybrid racer hit La Sarthe, with someone well known behind the wheel... We took a look at the car, and the tech behind it.

Just spent 3 months there, Ingolstadt which was just north of Munich. Watch out for the signs on the autobahn, I got 3 tickets and the rental company will just bill you after a month or so. Definitely go to Prague, 2-3 hr drive from Munich, and have come Absinthe ice cream. Also find out if there are any festival going on, usually got a good beer garden with regular brew beer and sometimes special festive beer.
Other places to go that are close by Munich:
- Ulm Munster, pretty old gothic church and you can climb the 768 steps
- Salzburg Austria castle, salt mine tour and eagles nest (specially if your military)
- Zurich and rhinefall Switzerland
- Belgium, closer to cologne though
- Neuschwanstein castle, packed with tourist though
- BMW museum, Audi museum (Ingolstadt 40 min north of Munich on A9), porsche in Stuttgart
- BMW welt an factory tour, if you need a specific part for your bmw and need a part number, just ask one of the staff and they will kindly get it for you
- Hops museum in WolNzach if your a beer brewer
- Dacau concentration camp
- hofbrauhaus is over rated but still a must, good pork knuckle
- Berlin if you have tim, 5-6 hr train ride from Munich,pack some beer forthe train ride
Try all the beer you can if your a beer drinker, downside is it will suck when your back in the states. Have fun and be safe

Hello All,
Im having a small issue with the company's emails. I had a user on Friday complain that his Outlook 2003 was re-downloading his previously read emails. Then today it happened to me with Outlook 2007 and another user with Entourage. All the company is set to using a web based email using POP accounts. Also, the option of leaving a copy on the server is selected. Since we are given 10gb of email space per user I thought it a good idea to leave a copy on the server. My question is why does this occur and how can I prevent it from happening to other users?
