More reviews by dancedarlyndance
I had those tiny annoying headless bumps along my cheekbones caused by my N.Y.C. sunny bronzer but thanks to this clay, they're all gone! It did purge some other parts of my face, but I can see that they're disappearing faster than any breakout I've ever had! I have some pigmented acne scars on the apples of my cheeks and I did notice some very slight fading but since I've used this product for about less than a month, I'll update about its effects on acne scars later on. I can't stop raving about this to my friends and even they've jumped on this product too! I can't wait to see the progress later down the road!!

I've paid $$ for facials and nothing compares to this mask. I mix equal amount of the clay to Bragg's apple cider vinegar with a little bit of honey and a little bit of water, if needed. (2 tablespoons is enough for 2 people) I find that adding the honey makes the mask a little more soothing.
If you have sensitive skin I wouldn't leave it on for too long the first time, just to be safe. I usually leave it on for 20 minutes and after I wash it off with warm water, I put a little bit of coconut oil on face.
The mask leaves my skin soft and brightens my skin. In only a week I saw a big difference in my black heads that were on my nose (no more!) and my skin tone evened out.
I do this once a week. So worth it!

This is by far the best mask I own. It is inexpensive and works really well with ACV. I wouldn't recommend using it with water, it gets clumpy and weird.
After using this, my skin feels so good and all my acne is severely diminished. It feels really great when its on, and it kind of pulses. If you keep it wet, it's easier to remove and I don't notice a difference in the results.
Your face will be pink for a while after, but if you leave this mask on for more than 20 minutes, your face with be as red as a fire hydrant for several hours. Also if you leave it on too long it gets really hard to take off and painful to get off - especially if it managed to get in your eyebrows.

First of all I LOVE THIS STUFF! I mix it with the Bragg's apple cider vinegar and half a capsule of charcoal from the health food store. It is a very powerful mask. Very powerful. I don't have acne but I like to make sure my pores are clean and I slough off dead skin from my face. I do this mask twice a week and follow up with coconut oil. My skin looks great and I am In love with this mask. My husband loves it too!
Just a note: I have very strong skin. I would not recommend for those who are really sensitive. It may burn you too much and it is hard to get off.
Happy makeuping guys and girls!

I have been using blue clay masks since I remember myself. It has always left nice and clean feeling. But nothing major. I came across this one here and as I recently got diagnosed with acne decided to try. It had so many good reviews on MUA it just had to be done. I ordered on Amazon. So price is amazing because it will last for long time. The only thing is package could have had some film as once you open it can get messy. I mixed it with apple vinegar as I am big fan and been using that for my hair. Even my skin is very sensitive I was prepared for redness. So I did it before bed so my skin has time to calm. I mixed it in old body shop tin. 1:1 clay:AV I did one for my husband and I added a bit more AV than clay and it was smoother, more like a mouse, which is easier to apply. I suggest easiest way is to do it before shower so you can rinse face off in shower and if you got any in your hair it's easy to wash it put. As I'm trying to go more natural so after I applied rosehip oil by Trilogy and few spritzes of Love Your Skin frankincense floral hydrating spritz & aloe Vera gel for more hydration ( I keep both these in fridge) Skin felt so smooth and lovely. Following morning I woke up with few pimples. But I was prepared and treated them with tea tree oil. Overall I think it is good but not a miracle worker. I will keep using it and would suggest to my friends.

My secret weapon against acne! I use this with Bragg's ACV and leave it on til it dries. Can feel your face pulsing. Love it!
I like this mask because my skin after wearing it to be clean and blackheads on my nose out. But my skin is always red and grow new pimples after wear
Im going to make this review as concise as possible. Let me give you some background on my skin. My skin is acne prone. I have visible pores on my cheeks and nose, so of course i have an oily t-zone and my pores clog easily. My chin area tends to be very dry. The other areas of my face is normal. So overall i have combination skin.
I purchased this product at my local Whole Foods Market for $8.56 total. It comes in a one pound tub. Ive used it for almost 2 months (about 12 facials) and ive only used about 1/8 of the tub. I use it once a week by mixing 1 1/2 teaspoon with equal parts Braggs Organic ACV in a bowl until it forms a thick, creamy consistency (like yogurt). After its prepared i spread it on my cleansed and towel dried face and leave it on for 20-30 minutes. If you have sensitive skin the instructions suggest 5-10 minutes only.
The very first time i used it i experienced a tingling and pulsating sensation. It was very intense and itchy. After youve used it 2 or 3 times, it doesnt feel that way on your skin. It only gets itchy for me now after it becomes really dry and flaky (after about 25 mins). But its not that bad. It dries very hard and it adheres to your skin tightly. You want to make sure your face is very moist with water before you try to rub it off.
I rinse it off with luke warm water using only my hands, until all of it is gone. Using your hands. will leave a thin film on your face but it comes off once you cleanse your face. When i first used it, i noticed a lot of white heads sitting on the surface of my skin. I was grossed out and amazed at the same time. It really does its job of deep cleansing and removing impurities. I waited a few minutes and then i mixed sime baking soda with my normal cleanser and lightly scrubbed the whiteheads out of my face. Note, your skin will be very dry! So make sure you moisturize with a thick moisturizer. If you have open pores like me, and youre afraid that a thick/creamy moisturizer will break you out, you would want to tone and close your pores with Rose Water or Witch Hazel before moisturizing.
The first week that i started using this mask, I used it on alternating days. Then i noticed it was drying my skin out bad and i switched to using it once a week. Be advised, this mask will seem to make your acne worse. In my opinion its a part of the deep cleaning process. It brings all the dirt to the surface. So have patience, its doing its job!
I love this mask so much because its cheap, long lasting and natural. Plus it actually does what it promises. Ive used it for two months and i dont break out as much and my skin isnt as oily as it used to be. I recommend it to all my family and friends and i will buy it over and over. Nothing else that Ive tried compares!

I just try this product and it was good so far first day I will wait a week and comment again
I've been meaning to try this for awhile because of the rave reviews and my love for face masks but I just never got around to it. But well I went to the health food store and saw they had a tub left for 6 dollars and so I thought why not. Went home and mixed it with some cider vinegar which smelled pretty bad but while I was sitting in front of the tv with this stink on my face I started to feel the pulsating everyone's talking about. After about 10 minutes it even felt like tiny random spots on my face were just being sucked out. I took it off at this point because I didn't want any over drying and my skin was a little red and dry so I put moisturizer on and went to bed. Woke up in the morning and my skins looks amazing! This is my new favorite face mask and I would definitely recommend it, unless you have extremely sensitive skin. My skin's fairly sensitive and I lived but I feel like someone with overly dry skin would only get worse from this.

Later today the city will announce the lineup for 2013 edition of the Downtown Sound series at Pritzker Pavilion. As it was last year, Downtown Sound is one of the DCASE programs that's remained strong through the rocky transition from the tenure of superlative music programmer Michael Orlove to the current administration. In the months since last year's programs were organized, the department has wisely rehired two veterans who worked under Orlove, Jack McLarnan and Carlos Tortolero.

Deranged Justin Bieber Fans Trample Singer's Mom, Get Scolded by Tween Heartthrobby Hilton Hater at . Comments
We said it two days ago and we'll say it again: Justin Bieber fans must chill the eff out!
On Sundy, Australian police were forced to cancel a concert in Sydney because Bieber fans passed out, rushed the stage, caused injury to each other and generally acted Amy Winehouse on a typical Tuesday night.
Justin let them off the hook, however, simply Tweeting that it wasn't his decision to shut down the event and thanking them for their support.
But now even Bieber has spoken out... after fans in New Zealand trampled his mother!
Yes, this actually took place when Bieber touched down in Auckland last night. He was immediately surrounded by 500 supporters, none of whom thought twice creating a mini riot. Tweeted the singer soon afterwards:
"Finally got to New Zealand last night. The airport was crazy. Not happy that someone stole my hat and knocked down my mama. Come on people..."
Later joking that he's the "most dangerous creature" in the country, the Miley hater wrote to his two million Twitter followers that he wants "to sign and take pics and meet my fans but if you are all pushing security won't let me. Let's keep it safe and have fun."
The 16-year old's mother says she's alright, but we really hope fans will heed Bieber's words. He's just a singer with a cute haircut. You've never met him before. Relax, people.
After playing at a local college and taking part in activities such as bungee jumping off a bridge, Bieber Tweeted again: "NEW ZEALAND = GREAT SUCCESS."
Except for the trampled mother part, that is.
[Photos: Splash News]
I hate that people would go so crazy that they would take his mom down!even if it wasnt his mom I would still help the person up.Justin im sorry that people stole your hat and trampled your mom! YOUR JUSTIN BIEBER everyone will want to take something just look out!Love you and if you come to Austin TEXAS and you wount have a bad time!!!!!!!!!

omg i cant belive that people would knock his mom down! i have a serious case of bieber fever:), but really, trample his mom? PS; his cell number is on facebook!!!
I luv u JB and i dont care what people say that you are not gonna be famous for long well you have only been famous for about 2 years not even that so your good off now :)

A reminder of the 60's era of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan show.
poor guy......this will do nothing to reign in his ever expanding ego....he is in for a hard fall...stupid fanatical fans=disastrous future

Britain's costliest mistake? Lord Stern defends his climate maths
In the 20th century, global temps rose by about 0.7 deg C, sea levels by about 17 cms. If there were any deleterious effects from this, they were wiped out many times by the advances in technology, by changes in population density and distribution, and by improvements in governments (especially in China, but elsewhere too).
It seems reasonable to expect that these the scale of these changes will be at least as great in this century - probably greater. This will completely overwhelm, whether for good or ill, any supposed harm caused by a few degrees of warming.
In other words, unless a catastrophe is really in the offing, and the IPCC says otherwise, then all our efforts should be aimed at increasing global trade and growth, thus lifting millions more out of poverty. Green policies which seek to prevent this - which is all of them - should be abandoned immediately.
MPs back call to boycott low-taxed tat from Amazon over Xmas
Re: STFU
"LIke allow for fair competition, so that British business can compete with the off shore companies? SO basically, your telling everyone to STFU and your justification is that you can get cheap goods from Amazon.."
Amazon's European HQ is in the EU - in Luxembourg. The EU is a Single Market - which you don't appear to have heard of. They can have their HQ wherever they damn well like in the EU.
Don't like it - vote UKIP.
'Only NUCLEAR power can SAVE HUMANITY', say Global Warming high priests
Not the only ones
To his credit, George Monbiot has also been advocating nuclear. So at least there is one thing I can agree with him on, though little else.
Greenpeace, by contrast, is even against research into nuclear fusion. I assume they will be taking ship to the Sun to complain about its dirty energy production, polluting the solar system - and then wonder why their solar panels don't work after it stops as requested.
And they wonder why we are not behind them and their Arctic Numpties.
Tech giants' offshore cash-stashing is only ever a delaying tactic
"I spot a flaw in your basic premise: "the whole point of being a company is to send money to your shareholders".
Some might argue that large corporates appear to have been hijacked by the managerial class to the detriment of other stakeholders (cf board-level remuneration rising far faster than other measures of company performance)"
Management are employees of the company, so the point is correct. Corporate tax incidence is on customers, employees or shareholders, or some combination thereof.
You make a good point about management though. In my view, company management should be much more under the control of the owners. At the moment, shareholder votes on remuneration are advisory only.
Some changes to company law would undoubtedly be beneficial.
"practiced a sport or mastered a musical instrument" - Ah now I see. You must live in a country that is not the UK, the EU or the rest of the world, for that matter. Because in those places the richest people with the highest amount of income are not made up of the very few athletes that make it to the top, or the even smaller numbers of musicians that make a significant, above average, income. I feel happy for your planet, because a few rock stars together with some sport figures can by themselves solve the imbalance of public spending vs. taxes collected."
Are you saying Bono isn't rich? That Sting doesn't have a butler, and his wife access to a private jet?
And that the richest woman in the UK (leaving aside the queen, for the moment) has written some books, and inherited nothing whatsoever?
I don't begrudge those people their comfortable lifestyle (though I could do without their lectures to the rest of us) but at least I acknowledge that they exist.
You're still an (anonymous) idiot.
Re: And this is where the complexity comes in..
"To my downvoter, which of the following statements do you disagree with and why?
* VAT is regressive."
It isn't so much of a problem as is usually presented. Food, after all, is free of VAT, as is rent and mortgage.
Also, VAT on a second hand car, such as I have, is zero. On a £10k car it is £2k, and on a £100k it is £20k. Last time I looked, £20k was a bigger number than £2k. People who buy more expensive items, even of the same type, pay more tax. Are you saying that's a bad thing?
"The consequences of massively unequal distribution of wealth are undesireable."
Often claimed, though usually spelt correctly, but not proven. Consider, for example, China. Inequality has increased markedly in the last 10 years, due to fewer constraints on the market. Yet in those same 10 years more than 500m people have been lifted out of poverty in that country, because there are now fewer constraints on markets.
Maybe, despite what you might want to be true, greater inequality is a by-product of generally increasing wealth overall.
"The more wealth one has in surplus, the more there is available for investment, resulting in ever greater concentration of wealth in the absence of redistributive taxes."
Investment is generally regarded as a good thing - investment in companies after all produces jobs (including my own). Perhaps, as a by-product, it increases inequality, but so what if the overall effect is good?
If taxes are too redistributive, they may reduce or remove the incentive to invest and create jobs. Which in turn lift people out of poverty.
"Don't forget how they became rich in the first place: either by inheriting the money or by making a very good use of it."
Of course, no one ever started a company, practiced a sport or mastered a musical instrument and made lots of money those ways.
Announcement of 'churnalism detector' gets furiously churned
Re: Hilarius stuff.
"BTW requiring a 2/3 majority of all MP's to change how a body is run makes it a damm sight tougher for any govt minster to change than slipping in the old "statutory instrument" into legislation."
and a damn sight less democratic too.
Under cap-and-trade, flying is greener than taking the bus
Re: 1980s?
Generally agree, but the Stern Review found that taxes on fuel were already higher than required to offset the carbon emissions. So the price of fuel should fall...
I do not deny climate change, but I do deny that most, or perhaps any, of the schemes promoted by Greens actually have the effect of decreasing emissions at as low cost as possible. Let's have nuclear for bass load, fracked gas to replace coal, and invest in research into tidal. This will reduce emissions and costs, in contrast to cap & trade, wind & solar which only increase costs.
Hm, nice idea that. But somebody's already doing it less well
Maybe Not
"If there was a single, central regulator then these companies would only have to fight the battle once per country."
Nice idea, but then the central body would spend years 'seeking the views of all parties affected', and the decision would be much delayed, perhaps permanently, certainly until the upstart had run out of cash.
What we see in the West is State Corporatism, major companies and government 'working' together to protect their common vested interests, and keep newcomers out of the market. The worst example being the EU, where money is applied much more to large corporates and charities than small ones, since the application for funding process is so bureaucratic. No doubt the US Federal government operates the same way.
Its a shame - a single market is a boon, a single, powerful bureaucracy is a nightmare.
Secrets of an ad broker: NoSQL, millisecond auctions and FLASH ARRAYS
Do They Really Do That?
All sounds fine, sensible even, until:
"Tapad's system then contacts these potential advertisers' systems and says: "I have a potential spot for you with this requester's metadata. Do you want to make a bid?" The potential advertisers then match the potential spot to their needs."
It seems a bit odd that they spend all that time & money optimising their own system, and then make calls to sundry other external systems with unquantifiable response times and round-trip latency, which together are probably at least an order of magnitude longer than their internal system response. Surely they have the advertisers' bids already in their system, as Google does with Adwords?

Nanny State - Again
I wonder if people like this Professor realise how much potential damage they are doing to socialised medicine.
At the moment, I support it, free at the point of delivery and delivered regardless of ability to pay. The day it becomes, as this proposes, a reason for the state to control behaviour to save costs and protect us from ourselves, I will be in the queue to vote for the first politician who wants to abolish it.
The Big Debate: OK gloomsters, how can the music biz be FIXED?
Re: Denial
I've no doubt that baying at moon is satisfying, but it doesn't put bread on the table.
If the world has changed, the industry has to change with it. Or die. I don't say that is a good (or a bad) thing - its just a thing.
You can complain all you want, but that on its own won't change anything. If you really think the western world is going to lock up most of its offspring for copyright violation, or someone is going to create magic DRM which doesn't piss everyone off, then by all means wait for the old models to come back. The wait could be a long one.
Re: Denial
"the creative industries need to ask how they need to re-organise themselves"
"Why? Because copyright abusers demand that we do ?"
No - because the world has changed, whether for better or worse. You can moan about not being able anymore to exploit the old situation, or you can think of ways to exploit the new situation. I can't guarantee the second option will ensure the success of the creative industries, but I am sure the first option will lead to their demise.
Lots of people in denial, it seems to me.
I agree with Andrew that new ways are needed to monetise cultural artifacts, but forcing an old model on a new platform isn't new.
I do not pirate, am a Spotify subscriber, and sometimes buy downloads from artists' sites, CDs, SACDs and Blu-Rays, so I this is not special pleading, but instead of asking how do we enforce copyright on the Internet, the creative industries need to ask how they need to re-organise themselves if copyright cannot be enforced in the traditional way.
What new models will allow artists to thrive without traditional copyright? It may not be legal, or moral, but it is reality that paying for music in the traditional way may be dying. You can complain about that, or you can see what other opportunities are available that weren't before.
US trounces UK in climate scepticism jibber-jabber
Re: They are only less balanced
"Carbon plans are overall neutral, by design."
No, they aren't.
The Renewables Obligation (aka The Climate Change Levy) increases the fuel bills of every consumer in the UK. It is not matched by any reduction in prices or taxes anywhere.
Guardian's Robin Hood plan: Steal from everyone to give to us
Guardian Reader - Coming Through
I read both articles in the Guardian. As Andrew says, both were savaged by its own readership.
It is not hard to see where cuts could be made - Alan Rusbridger, the editor, gets 400k per year for running an entity that loses 50m a year. Their 'star' columnist, Polly Toynbee, gets >100k for producing practically the same fact-free rant every few days. Various rad fems produce articles about 'Why I Hate Men' and so on. Then there are the complaints about celebs being villified (or not) and the innumerate environment blogs.
All of these emissions are regularly trashed in the comments, but the Guardian doesn't listen to its own readers. Maybe it should.
Osborne hands £80m tax break to punters drilling in 'old' oil, gas fields
Re: Why?
"Why do some of the most profitable companies receive any form of subsidy from the taxpayer? This is interfering with the Free Market (TM)."
This is not a subsidy, it is the removal of additional taxes which no-one else pays. Arguably, it makes the energy market more free.
Wind power - now that IS subsidised.
Vodafone UK web titsup blamed on 'holiday maintenance'
Not Uncommon
I have often waited several minutes just to login to the Vodafone site to check my bills. I have also recently renewed the contracts for one of the phones I manage. That contract is now is a in different Vodafone department, so I can't see the bill for that phone with my other ones, or indeed on line at all.
Vodafone really need to start thinking about their customers, or they'll go on losing them.
British Gas parent to grab £500m North Sea gas tax break
Re: @Mike Street Let me see if I understand this.
So if your income tax was 45% and everyone else paid 25%, if your tax was reduced to 35%, would you call it a subsidy?
No, you wouldn't.
And Greens are trying to categories these types of arrangements as 'subsidies', because their favourite technologies, like the perfectly useless wind generation, actually do get subsidies - the feed-in tariff is the only thing that makes some of them economic.
That is a subsidy, this isn't.
Re: Let me see if I understand this.
Is that right? No, it isn't.
Greens may want to present this as a subsidy, but as the article clearly says, it is a reduction in the amount of extra taxes they would otherwise have paid on income from extraction - taxes that no-one else is subject to.
Now, you might believe that paying 25% income tax is equivalent to a government subsidy to you of 75%, but the rest of us believe that it amounts to a 25% tax, not a 75% subsidy. It depends on whether you think all your money belongs to the state or not.
Behold: First look at Office 2013, with screenshots
That UI
I thought Windows 7 looked quite nice. I used it for a few months, but was relieved to go back to Ubuntu, which always seemed to need one less click for any particular operation than Win 7. But, for looks, it was nice.
But those screenshots of the new Office on Win 8 are just horrible. I have them full-screen, and I cannot imagine how awful it would be to look at that UI every day. What are they thinking?
All you Windows users have my sympathy.
How to fix the broken internet economy: START HERE
Its a Minefield
You make some good points - faults on all sides of course.
But content licencing (an area in which I work) is a minefield. I can get video of a sporting event by signing a complicated and absurd contract and putting my house and children up as collateral. So far so good.
But if the crowd is chanting a copyright song (like 'You'll Never Walk Alone') I have to contact, and licence, and pay, collection companies in every damn country in which I want to show it. And pay more per view than I make in revenue - just for the crowd noise!
It is actually impossible to know if you, or anyone else, has fully cleared rights. You may think you have - right up until the moment someone takes you to court in Absurdistan or somewhere. The only people getting rich are lawyers, and they are getting rich mostly by saying 'I don't know the answer to that. I can put you in touch with someone in that country who also won't know the answer, but it will cost you'.
I am not surprised that even Google can't innovate in a space with so much uncertainty, and so many organisations claiming money for nothing.
As a user, I don't pirate and I am a Spotify subscriber. I am trying to do the right thing. But please provide a broader range and better quality for my 10 quid a month.
As a user and as an innovator, it seems to me it should not be this hard, or this expensive.
EU's 2020 CO2 target 'will add a year to economic slump'

Could we better spend the money currently being wasted on wind and solar on retro-fitting insulation instead? I am pretty sure we could.
UK.gov energy policy: You can't please all the people much of the time
Re: It's not the fuel but the source
"Given the politics today, do we want to rely on gas from Russia, the Middle east, etc?"
No - which is why we need to develop Shale Gas as quickly as possible, if it is economically viable. There may or may not be enough on land, but there is plenty off-shore.
Facebook underwriters accused of hiding forecast
Re: Anyone in the private sector who bought into Facebook at IPO ...
Perhaps - I certainly thought it was grossly over-valued.

You can't expect people to make sensible decisions without access to all the information, as no doubt a court case will prove at some point.

ISPs torch UK.gov's smut-blocking master plan

The solution is easy, and staring them in the face...
make it illegal for children under 18 to go online. Give the Internet an 'X" certificate.
Then we can all have as much adult stuff as we want (which appears to include medical information they don't like, according to the reports) and no problem with children.
And of course, being a law, no-one would ever think of breaking it.
SpaceShipOne man, Nobel boffins: DON'T PANIC on global warming
" After all, if due to a landslip you find your house which was previously 1/2 mile from the cliff edge suddenly gets a lot nearer"
That would be due to a landslip, caused by erosion. Not sea-level rise.
"So whereas sea level rise wasn't a problem in times gone by, it's A Big Problem now."
It's about a foot per century. Tidal ranges are more than a few metres - you are unlikely to notice 30cms a century when there is a 3-4 metre change twice a day. The sea level is rising about as fast as your fingernails grow. And has been for some hundreds of years. It may even be slowing.

Listening to your customers
Whilst I applaud the idea of listening to your customers, often a better strategy is to actually think before making these kinds of changes.
No doubt the additional revenue looked good on a spreadsheet of the type loved by certain MBA graduates. Perhaps best though just to pause & consider whether it is a good business strategy to piss off your customers.
Still, heads won't roll I expect, unless its very junior ones who didn't have much if any input in the first place.

Cabinet Secretary: Freedom of Info law stifles policy confabs
I remember a BBC radio programme about Sweden a few years ago. The Swedish PM - Persson - showed them a letter sent to him by Tony Blair, then British PM. It didn't say anything controversial, but it was required by Swedish law to be available to everyone.
The same letter was unavailable to be shown to a British journalist (or anyone else) in the UK. So they would have to go to Stockholm to see a letter written in the UK by the UK Prime Minister on behalf of the UK Government and its citizens.
Politicians and Civil Servants have had it too easy, too long, and they don't like to come under scrutiny at all.
What, do we suppose, do they have to hide?
Greens threaten to sue over solar 'leccy cash slash
Green Gestures
It could also be pointed out, that some of those people placed in 'fuel poverty' by these kinds of measures will not be able to afford to heat their homes this winter.
Some of those will die (the UK has 36,000 'excess deaths' in the winter each year).
The Green movement, sadly, understands neither technology nor economics, and couldn't care less about poor people.
Rupert's MySpace mea culpa
Responsibly lies with the directors, surely?
The board decided to purchase, negotiated the price, hired the people and probably interfered like mad in all the wrong ways, so preventing those people doing a good job.
That's what corporate boards of directors do.
Murdock can hand-wave all he likes - he & his management are responsible for the MySpace fiasco. I bet they are quick enough to take the credit (or at least the bonus) for anything good that happens in NewsCorp, they should also take the abuse for the screw-ups.
Journo register gaffe a boon for media overlords
All true
Good demolition.
Most of the problems with the media already involve laws being broken. We just need existing laws enforced properly, not more badly thought-out laws which are just enacted so that Labour can be thought (by themselves) to be 'doing something'.
They really need to show that they have learned some lessons - so far they haven't begun to do that.

MP claims NotW sleuths targeted royals, politicians, Blair
Probably Correct
The police won't have asked them about Rees, as they are not investigating him.
No doubt they will say, as they did before being forced to re-start this enquiry, that there was 'no evidence' linking him with the crimes.
Well, they won't BE any evidence if you don't look for it, you idiots.
More and more, this looks like a cover-up by the police, not the first by any means (Phorm, Ian Tomlinson etc.) and probably not the last.
'Leccy price hike: Greens to blame as well as energy biz
Not a theoretical discussion this...
Every year, in those months we like to call 'winter', it gets cold here in the UK.
And every year, there are somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 'excess deaths' in winter in the UK, according to various estimates (I choose the smallest & largest I found).
Most of those deaths are due to, or exacerbated by, would you believe it, the cold. At least some of them are due to people not being able to afford to heat their homes.
It is very likely, therefore, that some of those excess deaths would be avoided if these 'green' taxes were removed and energy prices were therefore lower.
The likely conclusion is that 'green' policies are killing people here in the UK every winter.
Happy now, 'environmentalists'?
Digital Music: a collective failure of imagination
I don't want mp3 files - I want at least lossless (flac etc.) and preferably, SACD quality. Because I LIKE music.
So do some other people - hard-to-get SACDs can fetch £40 or more - secondhand. And this is in a market with relatively few buyers, currently.
The music industry is doing nothing to save itself apart from moaning & suing its customers. In many ways, it deserves to die, but it is harming music while it thrashes around in its death throws.
Bin Laden's porn stash: Too good to be true?
Agree with Prof Long
with a caveat - we know for certain the US government (like most others) lies, we don't know for certain Bin Laden was a hypocrite, as we only have a proven liar's word for it.
Would putting all the climate scientists in a room solve global warming...
As to prove Frumious Bandersnatch )above) wrong we immediately get:
"So *actual evidence*, like you know Arctic Ice sheets at all time minimiums, and melt rates from glaciers in Greenland to the Himalayan Mountains to the South pole mean .. what nothing?!
FFS the Arctic ocean is opening up as a trade route that has NEVER happened .. of course its something new to squabble over."
You see, that's just wrong. Arctic Ice sheets are NOT at all time minimums - the all time minimum is no Arctic Ice sheets at all. Which is, actually, the Earth's state for most of its history.
And the Arctic trade route has been open relatively recently, and for the majority of geological time as well.
This is why both sides give the debate a bad name - throwing out nonsense like this as though it were fact. It isn't. Even though you want it to be.
Men at Work lose Down Under plagiarism appeal
Hoist by their own retard
Artists generally, led by the talented Mr Richard, have been trying to get copyright extended. This suit demonstrates that its not really in even their own interests to do this. Marion Sinclair is most likely no longer alive, but some living musicians have to pay a ton of money to some people whose only musical talent may be in being related to the author of the original song. Most likely, it is a company which has bought the rights.
How does this lead to a fairer deal for artists?

The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 7 "My Brother's Keeper" MOST Memorable Quotes| November 29, 2012 at 9:01 PM EST
Miss a quote about the game changing stuff that just went down? Here are the best The Vampire Diaries "My Brother's Keeper" quotes from season 4 episode 7.
Ah, yes, but the rest of us are intrigued…
He's Damon, and you're you. And I'm…revolted! – Caroline to Stefan
Harsh, but true…
Let's not pretend that this isn't the best day of your life. – Stefan to Damon
Caroline's choice is clear…
Are you sure this is what you want? Because Stefan is your soul mate! – Caroline to Elena
It's funny cause it's true…
I'll just follow the scent of hairspray and world domination. – Professor Shane
Was this instruction necessary?
Fine, we'll go. Wear a dress. – Tyler to Hayley
This was a playful exchange…
Get out, lurker. – Caroline, throwing something light at Damon.
Ouch. – Damon, sarcastically.
Double meaning time!
Damon. – Elena
Still here. – Damon
Sometimes, one word is all you need…
You. – Elena, telling Damon the reason for her break-up with Stefan.
Perfection really is annoying…
And how am I doing? – Klaus
You're perfect. Which is so beyond annoying I can't even look at you. – Caroline
Why does he hate on Jer so much?
Do the math. Emo teen, open bar. He's fine. – Damon about Jeremy
New word time!
Fine. Friendtervention. – Caroline to Elena, about Damon
How did I become the bad guy? – Caroline
Let's get you a drink. I'll tell you about being the bad guy. – Klaus
So Elena likely already liked Damon, by this logic…
Being a vampire only amplifies who you already are. – Caroline
To get a tan?
Now, why would I want to cure myself of being the most powerful creature on the planet? – Klaus, about the vampire cure
Now that's what I call a sister…
If getting my humanity back means tripping him of his, I don't want it. – Elena about Jeremy
This is who I am now. The old Elena died when she went off that bridge. Let her go. – Elena to Stefan
I don't think I've ever seen you more alive. – Damon to Elena
For the Stelena fans…
You and her? Epic. Her and Damon? Ugh. – Caroline to Stefan
And welp, this is no fun for Delena fans…
Elena's sired to Damon. – Stefan

One Response to "The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 7 "My Brother's Keeper" MOST Memorable Quotes"
"Elena is sired to Damon" REALLY?!?!? This is sooo lame is not even funny…according to Caroline's reasoning, Elena couldn't keep blood from animals or a bag down because Damon told her she couldn't…WHAT??? That and the other "signs" they listed as showing Elena being sired to Damon were just illogical…Are the writers reviewing previous episodes before they write the new ones? I think NOT! If i remember correctly, Damon even brought her a blood bag to the church after she told him at the bar she was having that problem…he tried giving her his blood and tried the blood bag route, so that reasoning is completely wrong. Furthermore, if she was sired to him, wouldn't his blood be compatible with her? Wouldn't the "bond" make his blood special to her? We get it, she can't keep blood down because she is a doppelgänger, but that doesn't mean he "willed" her to be that way. Also, didn't they tell us in previous episodes that all her feelings would be magnified? That means her feelings for Damon would be too, right? There was no need to invent this nonsense crap to explain that away. This episode was so flawed and inconsistent with everything from the previous episodes, I see no way they can persist with this "sired" crap…the writers need to just find another storyline because this one is beyond stupid…arrggg

LONDON – And now for something completely different: A comeback show from the Monty Python gang, reuniting some four decades since they last performed on a British stage.
The veteran comedy group said Thursday they are staging a one-off show at London's O2 arena in July.
Terry Gilliam joked that the five surviving Pythons – Terry Jones, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and himself – decided to do the show to try to remind ourselves that we are funny and important and famous.
The important thing is we are going to be in front of 15,000 people all listening to every word we say, unlike our home life which is lonely and sad, he told The Associated Press.
That is the only reason we're doing the show, because we've all become so depressed over the years that our wives don't find us interesting, our children don't even laugh at us anymore.
The five delighted reporters with gags and jokes, sitting behind the wrong name cards and answering questions addressed to another member. They also made plenty of references to their advanced age, saying medical attendants will be present during the show, which has the working title One down, five to go.
That's in reference to the sixth member, Graham Chapman, who died of cancer in 1989.

|Total (w/tax)
Book Description:
This publication continues Ronald Blythe's celebrated "Word from Wormingford", though with a difference. For here, a village record moves further into the personal life of a writer who is not only a "working" part of the small community to which he has belonged for so many years, but who in many respects is isolated from it. Intimacy and distance are revealed as having their contrasting places in this both imaginative interpretation of the English countryside at the close of the 20th century.

Australia, 2009 (MIFF 2009, Homegrown)
Director: Jonathan Auf Der Heide
"No man can tell what he will do when driven by hunger." - Alexander Pearce
In 1822, eight convicts escape the brutal penal settlement of Macquarie Harbour, only to find the wilds of Tasmania a much crueller reality. As the provisions run out and the men fight to stay alive, only one option remains.
Delving into Australia's dark heritage, Van Diemen's Land is a retelling of the unsettling tale of our most notorious convict, Alexander Pearce, whose confessions were so shocking that the authorities at the time refused to believe them.
Based on director Jonathan Auf Der Heide's own short film Hell's Gates, which won multiple MIFF shorts awards in 2008, Van Diemen's Land is a pitch-black tale where nature is as unforgiving as man.

Westminster, CA 92683
Category: Retail
Region: Westminster
When Clifford Vargas began his circus in 1969, he scoured the world for top-notch actsand one treasure he found was the Flying Tabares, two Argentinean brothers with a death-defying trapeze act. Fast-forward a few decades, and the high-flying brothers now run the Big Top, making it into a sort of family business, as circus folks tend to do. Come see the show filled with acrobats and aerialists (most recently featured in Water for Elephants) and a state-of-the-art Big Top tent, handmade in Italy, that seats 1,500 people comfortably. Circus Vargas is performing in Westminster through the end of the month, then setting up in Santa Ana, followed by Irvine.
Mondays-Sundays. Starts: May 19. Continues through May 30, 2011

WINCHESTER, Va. (AP) - A flock of Canadian geese that's become a nuisance in Winchester is being evicted.
The geese have made their home on the grounds of the Winchester-Frederick County Convention and Visitors Bureau's Visitor Center.
The Winchester Parks and Recreation Department says the geese have littered the grounds with waste and at times have acted aggressively toward out-of-town visitors. The department says in a news release that it's brought in the Geese Police to remove the flock.
The company uses border collies to herd geese off property.
The eviction process began last week.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin, who once donned a pilgrim's outfit to motivate his team, says he's still preparing his first pregame pep talk as a head coach.
It'll come before Sunday's season opener at Houston.
"I have some ideas," the former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator said Thursday. "There are a couple of things I'm toying around with. It'll be different from some of my famous ones in Green Bay. I've got to change up a little bit. I can't be quite like I was when I was an assistant."
A native of Massachusetts, Philbin said he gave speeches related to the Boston Marathon and Paul Revere when he was with the Packers. But his best-remembered talk probably came before a Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit.
"I dressed like a pilgrim," he said. "Was it my decision? Absolutely. I sent my wife out to the costume store. I had the buckles and the big hat and the whole bit. The real point was we've got to stick together like a family and play like a team."
Point taken: The Packers won.
And how did Philbin look? That must be left to the imagination.
"There are no photos," he said. "I took care of that."

If you're well-off your interest might have been piqued a few weeks ago by Evanta's 1:1 scale model of the Le Mans-winning Aston Martin DBR1/2. The AirFix-like art work, 20.8 feet long, 11.3 feet high and weighing over half a ton, will be auctioned during the Goodwood Revival Weekend with pre-sale estimates as high as £30,000 ($46,929 U.S.).
If you're wealthy – like Goldman Sachs has you on speed dial, wealthy – you might be interested in the real thing and not the model. Talacrest, a British concern that focuses on classic Ferraris, is selling the genuine DBR1/2 on the open market and asking £20 million ($32M U.S.).
Valued by Talacrest as one of the top five cars in the world, receipt of the asking price would definitely put the DBR1/2 among the top five public sales in the world and make it the most valuable Aston Martin ever sold. And since this isn't an auction, you don't need to wait for the privilege; you can give Talacrest a call from the 24-karat gold throne in the office at the back of your bullion vault, at your leisure.

Sorry for the radio silence, folks. We've been busy as bees trying to make the best science adventure comics money can buy.
Speaking of which! Our latest offerings are available for pre-order. That'd be the third issue of the ninth volume. And also the fourth issue of volume nine.
Good lord, nine volumes? When did that happen?!
Things are hopping behind the scenes.
1. The Atomic Robo RPG is on the verge of release. Pre-order the print edition and get the PDF right now for free! Or just grab the PDF version on its ownsies. Whichev.
2. I just completed a move! Well, almost. Still need to bring over a few more things and clean up the old place and then we are done.
3. Already writing the first supplement to the Robo RPG. This one is all about Majestic 12. It'll be chock full of never before seen insights and history and story seeds and probably some interesting rules. This kind of work is dangerous. It's making me want to start a second spin off series of stories from the perspective of Majestic 12 agents over the years. And also to start work on more supplements for more organizations.

What You May Have Missed Last Night
Today we begin our new Mac Attack feature on WFNZ.com of what you may have missed last night

T-Bone had 10 minutes to eat 7 hot dogs and break the WFNZ/Mac Attack World Record, but did he muster(d) the will and strength to eat all seven of the hot dogs to become part of the WFNZ Elite, and better yet not have to wear a dress around for 2 days in a row in public?!
T-Bone Aims For Historic Record
Mac Attack History will be made today at 9:30am on the Mac Attack when one of sports most unbreakable records could fall.

1) He's supposed to be a tool. He's the heel.
2) Inform me of your personal experiences with school shooters and then tell me the similarities between them and Ambrose. I'm sure you have concrete evidence/personal experience to support your claim right? Right?
3) What entrance? The 10 foot one in FCW where he basically just walks to the ring? Don't even bother talking about theme b/c almost every FCW guy changes their theme on RAW or SD. Have you seen an actual entrance at a House Show? If so, please elaborate on your experience watching him, and explain what you didn't like.
4) Ambrose isn't supposed to appeal to anyone. Once again, he's a heel, and a loner "IDGAF" type heel nonetheless.
5) Would you mind not insulting people in your posts? I can respect the fact that you have a different opinion (and I'm no Ambrose mark, I just think he has potential and want him to debut) but there isn't any reason to insult "us people" for no reason. I don't mean to sound like a hypersensitive D-Bag, but that's uncalled for.

You can change your icon as often as you desire and place it anywhere you want on the Superbar. To reinstate the original start Orb , simply exit StartKiller via the system tray.

In addition to these professionals are an incredible number of people who provided prayers, food, flowers, cards, clean-up, security lighting, carpentry services, phone calls, visits, donations to the reward fund and many other acts of kindness.
Words cannot express how grateful we are to every one of you. What's more, you should know that your efforts have been vital to our physical and emotional healing process. In the early morning hours of July 2, 2009, our faith in humanity was badly shaken by the acts of three individuals. However, the tremendous outpouring of support that we have experienced since that day is overwhelming proof of the basic goodness of mankind. We are so thankful for the way you have taken care of our needs and we are forever in your debt.
Editor's note. Three suspects were arrested last week in the case.
Too little, too late
They have proven themselves irresponsible, disrespectful and incompetent. They have mistreated their office.
We will not forget tall their disgraceful actions and will vote for change. We will bring truth, honesty and integrity back to Jerusalem Township.
Some people do not obey the speed limit in our subdivision and they are not all teenagers. They do not stop at the stop sign at the east end of Pintail Lane. If you stand on Pintail Lane and watch them turn the corner, you do not even see a brake light come on.
As for the statement no business has been hurt by the van, this is probably true. Our question is what business.
The last city council voted and promised to bring in some new restaurants and retailers. We cannot think of any. In fact, businesses are closing. We hear, "well, the economy is the reason." Just look at Perrysburg and Oregon – they have new construction.
To name a few closing or soon to close: Elder Beerman, Fox Theater, Value City Department Store, Dalton Floor Covering, Value City Furniture, Steve & Barry, Foodtown and Mr. Emblem.
Woodville Mall looks like a ghost town and Great Eastern needs a face lift.
Most elderly people do not like to drive all over town to shop but for many items, there is no choice. They would rather keep the money and taxes in Northwood. We cannot have a good tax base if businesses continue to leave.
We sure hope that Sears and The Andersons don't go.
The trustees have been receiving requests from the residents and business owners of the Millbury area for a traffic light at SR 51 and Millbury Road for over 12 years. These are the folks and businesses who live and work in close proximity to the intersection and face the daily decision to use or avoid this intersection. By their statements to the Trustees over the years, it has become clear that many residents simply avoid this intersection because of the angled design which impairs the visual acumen of many drivers.
The traffic signal warrant system used by ODOT does not survey the local residents on how many avoid a dangerous intersection, or compile a computer scenario of the near-misses or unreported accidents that occur at such an angled intersection. As such, in determining the feasibility of a traffic light under this warrant system, an accurate assessment of said intersection is not possible.
During one of the several public meetings the Trustees have discussed the intersection and its perpetual problems, it was pointed out to the ODOT officials in attendance, that under the ODOT warrant system, dozens of people could be injured in a years period of time and the warrants system would not justify any traffic light. This seems to deify any common sense. During these meetings the Trustees have received unanimous support from the public in attendance for a traffic light.
On the issue of lowering the speed limit on the only 55 mph section of SR 51 in Wood County, this section of SR 51 is more akin to that of an urban roadway and the Trustees have made the decision for the public convenience, welfare and most importantly public safety to request the speed limit be reduced. The township's police accident records show that 49 accidents have occurred along SR 51 in just the past five years, these are accidents that happen with a 55 mph speed limit.
Finally, for the above mention reasons the Trustees feel that the decisions they have taken are for the greater good, welfare and safety of the whole community in which we live.

The price is perfect - and can't be beat for the level of service, and technology you receive. The install is a breeze, and the documentation is superb - clear - and step-by-step. The ease of modification (*tweaking) is to die for! We extended this tool to carry video, reward referrals with cash, and build up point to trade for merchandise.
Mike - THANK YOU - for making viral marketing with a Tell A Friend form so FUN and EASY!
