Monica who? On the eve of Dubya II, Salon's Peter Dizikes offers a short but comprehensive list of this administration's scandals thus far. Thirty-four and counting…not that you'd know it from watching the evening news.
Seven months after the White House declared it had released all documents surrounding Dubya's desertion, Bush's resignation letter shows up. "White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the resignation was found in connection with a lawsuit brought by The Associated Press." Yeah, I'll bet it was.
With CBS giving up on the Killian memos, both the NY Times and Salon try to refocus the story on the facts of Dubya's disappearance. Still an excellent question…
Well, even Dan Rather is backing away from the Killian memos at this point, which obviously does not bode well for their authenticity. And as for the larger questions about where Dubya spent all those post-drug-test AWOL months in 1972…well, I'm sure the mainstream press will get to those in due time, aren't you?
"He showed pathological lying habits and was in denial when challenged on his prejudices and biases. He would even deny saying something he just said 30 seconds ago. He was famous for that." Harvard Business School professor Yoshi Tsurumi remembers young Dubya, and, yes, even back then he was a profile in character and courage. "[H]e was such a bad student that I asked him once how he got in. He said, 'My dad has good friends.'"
The dispute over the CBS memos rages on, with both sides digging in. I must say, the additional information offered by the Post does seem to suggest that the controversial Killian memos may in fact be bogus (although USA Today did independently obtain them "from a person with knowledge of Texas Air National Guard operations," for what that's worth.) Which, if so, leads one to wonder who out there could have been so base and stupid as to falsify these documents, when there's already so much legitimate evidence of Dubya's desertion. That's the GOP's racket, not ours. Still, I'm not yet 100% convinced.
Despite what Sharon Bush is saying now, the NY Daily News declares it has spoken to "an unimpeachable source" who can confirm her earlier declaration of Dubya coking up at Camp David. As Drudge might say, developing…
"Now, would the 111th Fighter Interceptor Squadron have extravagantly purchased typewriters that contained the th superscript key? Would the military want or require typewriters with the 'th', 'nd', and 'rd' characters? Hmm. Ponder, Ponder. What would the 111th need with a th character… I'll leave that to the enterprising among you to deduce." So, as expected, the Bushies are pushing back hard on the 60 Minutes memos, and seem to have successfully managed shifting this news cycle from Dubya's whereabouts to questions of possible forgery. Well, first off, The Daily Kos (quoted above) has written up a pretty good blow-by-blow explaining how all this new wrangling over font-technology adds up to less than its seems.
Regarding the documents' authenticity, I think it's entirely possible that somebody tried to "frame a guilty man" here, particularly given the depths to which we've already seen the Swift Boaters stoop. But, for now, I'm still thinking the docs are legitimate, as (a) CBS is strongly standing by them, and have a corroborative witness in Maj. Gen Bobby Hodges, Col. Killian's (Republican) commanding officer, (b) unlike the Swift Boat allegations, they conform to what we already knew and to other information in the public record, and (c) Dubya's White House, who knows the full story, certainly didn't act like these could be fake documents when the story broke. At any rate, remove these Killian memos from the picture and the original question still stands: Where was Dubya, and why did he skip out on a required medical exam? Update: Experts in today's Boston Globe back up the authenticity of the documents, including one examiner, Philip Bouffard, who had earlier suggested doubts to the NY Times.
"'It is outrageous and shameful to make the war on terror an instrument of their politics,' Kerry said. 'I defended this country when I was a young man, and they chose not to. And I will defend this country as president of the United States.'" John Kerry pushes back hard at Cheney for his indefensible remarks on Tuesday. Whatsmore, Kerry has keyed in on a way to concisely tie together two of Dubya's most grievous sins. To wit: "George W. Bush's wrong choices have led America in the wrong direction in Iraq and left America without the resources we need here at home." Simple, eloquent, and effective.
It's official…Dubya is trying to AWOL (again) his way out of one of the debates. What a hero. If he can't face down John Kerry, how will he ever face down the (gasp) terrorists?
(No Bill Frist jokes, please.) With the GOP in full attack mode, the press weighs how to handle Kitty Kelley's book. Newsweek, for one, has already passed on publishing excerpts from The Family. Yes, the same Newsweek who just published this ridiculous Evan Thomas puff piece about Dubya's personal "transformation." C'mon, now.
Play with matches, Mr. President, and you're gonna get burned. With the Kitty Kelley cocaine allegations making the unofficial rounds (I've heard the book promotion begins in earnest on 9/14) and the Ben Barnes 60 Minutes interview coming up in short order, journalists start taking a harder look at Dubya's missing years. Adding fuel to the fire, a group called Texans for Truth has created this ad that will apparently begin airing on Friday.
The fallout from the forthcoming and much-awaited Kitty Kelley book on the Bushes breaks on Drudge today, with Kelley exposing a new twist on what has basically amounted to an open secret: In the book, Kelley "quotes…former sister-in-law Sharon Bush who claims: 'Bush did coke at Camp David when his father was President, and not just once either.' Other acquaintances allege that as a 26-year-old National Guard, Bush 'liked to sneak out back for a joint or into the bathroom for a line of cocaine.'" Again, not surprising, given other stories, previous rumors, and Dubya's nervous habit of incessant sniffling, but it's nice to see heroic Bush's wastrel years finally get some play. Perhaps the media will manage to put two and two together.
"'The impression I had was that Georgie was raising a lot of hell in Houston, getting in trouble and embarrassing the family, and they just really wanted to get him out of Houston and under Jimmy's wing,'" A widow of a Texas political operative remembers young Dubya. "Allison remembers encountering George W. Bush in the parking lot, urinating on a car, and hearing later about how he'd yelled obscenities at police officers that night. Bush left a house he'd rented in Montgomery trashed — the furniture broken, walls damaged and a chandelier destroyed, the Birmingham News reported in February. 'He was just a rich kid who had no respect for other people's possessions,' Mary Smith, a member of the family who rented the house, told the newspaper, adding that a bill sent to Bush for repairs was never paid." Yep, he's presidential caliber.
Hmm. So the military records that would theoretically prove that Dubya was not AWOL and hiding from a drug test in 1973 have been "inadvertently destroyed" by the Pentagon. Funny, that. (Via Princess Diana/Medley.)
As Kerry readies for the big fight ahead, the GOP starts getting real ugly, with doctored Hanoi Jane photos and Drudge-inspired, Murdoch-driven tales of a possible extra-marital dalliance. Yep, the GOP sure loves them the adultery card, but I don't think that dog will hunt this time around…not after the impeachment fiasco. Update: The accused woman says drop it, already, and Drudge — without apologizing for slandering her or Kerry — changes his tune about the alleged affair.
On the flip side of the card, Dubya's Document Dump answers few questions about his guard duty, and reports are now surfacing of National Guard documents destroyed by Governor Bush's people in 1997. And then, of course, there's the matter of that skipped drug test…
Via Genehack, Calpundit delves into the documents of Dubya's desertion.
The Dems held one more for the road last night in New Hampshire and, given that a rather bland Kerry didn't stumble, it's starting to look dire for Dean, who was subdued and chagrined most of the evening and only now seems to be turning the corner on his Muskie Moment. Edwards did reasonably well despite invoking states' rights (which never sounds good with a southern accent) to support his convoluted gay marriage position. And I actually liked Clark better than usual, and thought he handled his recent party switch as well as he could.
But, I have to say, I was extraordinarily irritated by the way the whole Dubya Deserter thing played out last night. First Peter Jennings tells Wesley Clark that Michael Moore's deserter comment was "a reckless charge not supported by the facts" and asks him if it'd have been "a better example of ethical behavior" to contradict him. Clark doesn't go either way on it, claiming not to know all the facts. (Which is lame — What's the point of having a General in the running if he's not going to call out Bush on exactly this question?) Then, once the show's over, Fox News pulls out Team Bespectacled White Guys (Mort Kondracke and Fred Barnes), who both immediately argue that Clark irreparably damaged his candidacy by not refuting this baseless charge, yadda yadda yadda.
Um, am I missing something? It's been substantiated quite well that Bush seems to have gone AWOL by the Boston Globe and others, and I'm not talking about the six or seven critical hours on September 11 when he was toodling around above the Heartland. While absence of evidence isn't necessarily evidence of absence, Dubya seems to have disappeared from the Air National Guard for almost a year between 1972-73, conveniently right before a drug test (an offense for which he was grounded), and, to this day, he has never satisfactorily explained where he was. (In fact, as the Straight Dope notes, later reports in The New Republic (by Ryan Lizza, if I remember correctly) even cast doubt on the half-hearted "some recollection" explanation Dubya gave during the 2000 campaign. (By the way, this all happened several years after Bush scored in the underwhelming 25th percentile on the pilot's aptitude portion of the entrance exam, thus having to rely on his congressman-daddy's connections to jump the year-long waiting list for the Air National Guard in the first place.)
Does all of this prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Dubya pulled a Cold Mountain? Well, no, but it's definitely enough to suggest that Bush has some serious explaining to do. (And he revoked any "youthful indiscretion" type-defense when he began parading around in flight gear on the USS Lincoln.) So, I mean, c'mon, now, a baseless charge about Bush? At this point it seems more correct to say that the bases were "Bush-less." Next thing you'll know Fox News will be screaming at John Kerry for perpetuating the "vicious rumor" of Dubya's DUI.
At any rate, regarding other matters, I didn't see Diane Sawyer or Letterman last night so can't ascertain how Dean damage control went there, but I did catch the Dallas-Laker game on TNT, and during Inside the NBA EJ, Kenny and Charles must have played the Dean Scream about thirty times…in fact Ernie had it connected to his desk button. "Nash kicks to Dirk, Dirk from the corner…YEEEEEAAAAGH! Sacramento's up big in the third…YEEEEEAAAGH!" And so on, so on. Pretty much the first political content I've ever seen on the show, and, yeah, it was funny every time. Poor Dean.
The Congressional Sergeant-at-Arms nears the end of his investigation into a GOP scandal involving illegally stolen Democratic e-mails. It'd be nice to see some heads roll for this, (and they certainly would have if the parties had been switched) but somehow I doubt it. If the media can shrug off the Dubya deserter story, they certainly don't care about this sort of shenanigan.
While General Clark comes out for national service, fellow candidates Dean and Kerry bicker over Vietnam. Hmm…while I'm very sympathetic to the idea that a war record should not be a prerequisite for political office, Kerry's military service is obviously one of his main selling points, particularly when placed in contrast to Dubya's AWOL year. So I'd say it's a dumb call for Dean to begrudge Kerry's mentioning of Vietnam, and especially given Dean's own tour in Aspen during that time. For the Deanies, I'd think the less said about 'Nam, the better.

IMMIGRATION CARD - (article)
I just booked a room at Cuscotheir email
confirmation states "Please do not forget to bring your immigration card
that is inside your passport so that you are not required to pay IGV
(General Sales tax) on top of your room fees." I don't have my passport on
me because it's off being renewed but if I just bring my passport along, I
should have this so called "immigration card" right? Or is this something
separate? TIA!
ANSWER: When you enter Peru, you will fill in an
'immigration card' (ours was a white piece of paper). Yes, present it at any
accommodation so as to avoid paying the tax and keep it with your passport
for safety; so you know where it is!

Oct 14, 2013 10:16 PM by Texas A&M Corpus Christi
THIBODAUX, La. - The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball team cruised to its sixth straight conference victory of the season with a 3-0 win (26-24, 25-9, 25-18) over Nicholls Monday evening at Stopher Gym. Ivy Baresh powered the Islanders, who have clinched 10 of its last 11 matches, with her 10th double-double of the season.
Baresh, who was named the Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Week today, recorded 15 kills, 18 digs and two service aces to lead the Islanders (13-7, 8-1 SLC) over the Colonels (5-15, 2-8 SLC). Sarah Sanchez registered a career-high six blocks, including four block assists and two blocks solos. The senior also chipped in eight kills on an impressive .412 hitting.
Senior Logen Bourque reached a new milestone tonight after passing out 36 assists. Last season at home against the Colonels, Bourque became the first Islander to reach 3,000 assists in a career. This season, she becomes the first Islander to reach 4,000 assists in a career with 4,013 with 10 regular-season matches left to play. Along with Sanchez, Shayla Maldonado helped power the Islanders' defense with 11 digs, her third straight match in double figures. The sophomore was tabbed the Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Week today.
The Islanders jumped out to a 17-10 lead in the first set and extended its lead to 19-13 on a kill by Haley Satterwhite Day and a Colonels' hitting error. Nicholls rallied back with a 4-1 run to pull within one at 22-21. After an Islanders' timeout, the Islanders pushed its lead back to two on a Nicholls' error, but straight points by the Colonels evened the set at 23-23. Both teams traded kills, before the Islanders closed the set on back-to-back Colonels' errors to win 26-24. The Islanders hit .130 in the set and limited the home team to just .073 hitting. Baresh led the set with six kills while Bourque dished out 13 assists.
In the second set, it was all Islanders from the start. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi opened with a 10-4 lead and built its biggest lead of the set at 20-8 on a 3-0 run. During the run, Sanchez tallied a kill and Nicholls committed back-to-back attacking errors. After a Colonels' point, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi scored five straight points to seal the second set 25-9. During the run, Baresh and Shaquinn Parker each put down a kill and Sanchez tallied an ace. The Islanders hit a set-high .318 while holding Nicholls to -.280. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi out-blocked the Colonels 5-1.
The Islanders kept the momentum rolling into the third set. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi jumped out to a 13-4 lead and maintained the lead through the whole set. The Islanders padded its lead to 21-14 on a 5-0 run after three Colonels' mishaps, an ace by Hailey King and a kill by Sanchez. After a point by Nicholls, Baresh hit consecutive kills to put the Islanders ahead by eight. The Colonels answered with three straight points before the Islanders won the set at 25-18 and the match 3-0. In the third set, the Islanders hit .150 behind Baresh's five kills. King recorded all eight of her digs in the third set to lead the Islanders' defense.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi hit .176 in the match and limited the Colonels to .000 hitting. The Islanders also registered seven blocks.

See http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=174845/UV-Perfect-Face-Milk-SPF-50+-PA++++-%28New-2014%29/Biore/Sunscreen for the reformulated version of this product as of spring 2014
I have been using this for 3 years now, and while I love it, it does have the silicon feel upon application and its a tad bit too watery. However, value for money and does the job well, doesn't cause breakout on my ultra sensitive skin.

I bought this about a year ago after reading MUA good reviews on it and it is my HG sunscreen.
You'll have to shake the bottle before pouring out the product and it comes out in a watery emulsion. Easily spread.
It keeps my oily skin in check and it does not break me out at all (unlike many other thick creamy sunscreens I've tried prior to this). I'm so in love with this. Best of all, it is easily available in the drugstores where I live and it is affordable.
May be a bit drying for people with dry skin though.
I've repurchased this many times and will continue to do so!

I bought this on a whim, because I heard it was good for oily skin. Plus I wanted a sunscreen with SPF 50 and PA+++.
I got it for $12.45 on eBay and it took two/three weeks to get here.
The results are amazing. Its perfect for my oily skin. Its liquid but once it goes on it feels like powder. You instantly get the matte effect. My face stays matte all day and it hasn't broken me out at all.

I love asiatics sunscreens and i really want ro love this one. But it really dries my skin. At the end of the day my skin is really bad with strange white spots.
It could be a must, but it is not. Will not repurchase

I wanted so much to like this. Inexpensive and easy to blend onto the face. I love the velvety matte effect the silicone gives. But this seems to be breaking me out, either because of the alcohol or the silicone. Since I've stopped using it, my skin has started to clear up.

I noticed that in the pictures attached to this review are different variations of Biore's UV Perfect range. I just wanted to say that the UV Perfect *Face Milk* is the one in the white bottle. The one in the blue bottle just named "UV Perfect Milk". I own both and use them both regularly depending on how my skin feels that day, and I added a picture of both side by side just to differentiate them.
The UV Perfect Milk (blue bottle) contains 40ml. The liquid is thinner and runnier, smooths on easier, feels lighter, but has less oil control. This is what I normally wear on a daily basis. I live in a hot, humid equatorial climate and have oily skin, but this keeps my oil manageable. Not perfectly matte, but manageable. Better oil control than say, Neutrogena dry touch, or LRP Anthelios XL.
The UV Perfect Face Milk (white bottle) contains 30ml. The liquid is thicker but also feels dryer and more silicone-y. It has a bigger tendency to leave a white cast than the blue bottle, and the drydown definitely feels thicker on the face. Huge plus point though is that the oil control is amazing, better than the blue bottle for sure. Pretty big con is that it dries down to such a matte finish that sometimes liquid foundation doesn't blend easily and looks cakey bc it's drying too quickly before you get a chance to blend. Sometimes it just all ends up looking and feeling cakey on your skin. Sometimes it does work well, like you hit that sweet spot during the drydown, and your foundation goes on well and you get the nice foundation application + the magnificent oil control. A+++ when that happens. And in my pre-Accutane days, this was literally the only thing that would keep my oil remotely under control.
These days my skin is less demanding. I usually just find that the blue bottle is more comfortable and less finicky to wear, and as long as I let it dry down completely before applying foundation, the oil control is good enough for me. Between the two products I've got everything I need.
Don't forget to get an oil cleanser.
sidenote: i have no real evidence to support the following except personal observation. When I wore the white bottle exclusively I found that my acne scars faded faster and I did not tan even under harsh Australian sun. Now that I've stepped down to the blue bottle, it seems as though my scars are taking longer to fade and I find that I tan slightly if I'm out in the sun. I don't like that--I take it to mean that the blue is somehow less protective even though the labeled rating is the same. I put on a shitload of it, too. Me no like.

Holy Toledo, Batman - this stuff is amazing! I am ridiculously fair with a history (already) of squamous cell carcinoma, so sunscreen is an absolutely essential part of my daily routine. However, I also have very oily/sensitive skin, enlarged pores and still break out from time to time in my early 30s... So I've tried a TON of western sunscreens - from drugstore to very expensive - but NOTHING compares to this s/s from Japan. Texture is very thin/watery and dries instantly to a powdery finish on skin, and yes -actually controls oil under m/u during the day! I think ill switch from a powder fdtn to a TM or BB, because honestly with is s/s as a base, the powder fdtn is too DRY! Amazing.
I don't think this formula would work for folks with drier skin, but hey... There are a ton of American sunscreens out there that do! There is def alcohol (yes it does smell a bit at first), but that's what makes it mattify the oil. Also, I had to remove 1 lippie for the teeny tiny size... The price isn't bad, but it's a little annoying only b/c international shipping takes a couple weeks to get the product. Will start stockpiling ASAP :)

I probably will not purchase this again, but it is a fine sunscreen to wear under makeup. It dries very matte--almost too matte, and is a little whitening on my skin (NC20-25), it leaves a somewhat chalky/powdery/dry look to my face. I don't believe it has contributed any breakouts but as I prefer to not wear makeup over sunscreen, this sunscreen does not make me love the look of my skin after applying.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this product for over two years now.
I always wear sunscreen, even if I don't plan on being in the sun. I have used many fragrance-free sunscreens before, but they were thick and greasy and made my skin oily. This product only requires a thin layer and dries nicely, leaving a matte, smooth finish.
I usually have oily skin, but, on occasion, when my skin dries out (like when I sit for long periods by an air conditioner), the product dries my skin out even more, and leaves me with crumbly, dry patches on my face.
Although I have been enjoying this product for over 2 years, I have decided not to purchase this product anymore for 2 reasons:
1. There is no information at all on the Internet about the level of hazard of the ingredients. I'm looking for less hazardous sunscreens (such as those suggested by the EWG).
2. Even though I'm in my late twenties, I have a bit of skin damage (I play a lot of sports in the sun). Even though this product offers sun protection, it offers no moisturisation or any other real benefits for the skin. So I will now be looking for a sunscreen that offers some moisturization or supply of antioxidants

ADT: a 'Safe' Housing Bet, With a Hint of Apple's iPhone, Buffett
To continue expanding ADT Pulse, Gursahaney says he will look at mergers and acquisitions, especially in the software, services and mobility spaces that could be a benefit to the platform's overall suite of products. "Being the market leader in the residential security space, we see everything that is available," says Gursahaney. In 2010, ADT's bought Broadview Security -- the owner of competitor Brink'S BCO (BCO) home security business -- for $2 billion acquisition.
The ADT Pulse push is is incurring in part as some of ADT's existing "moat" becomes threatened by far-larger cable and telecom giants that are now building out cutting-edge home security products, including Time Warner Cable (TWC). While Gursahaney acknowledges the competition, he notes that for investors, ADT has a first-mover advantage and it is the only pure-play public company with exposure to home security and the industry's next tech-enabled suite of products.
Gursahaney's pitch on the stability and growth prospects of ADT meshes with initial stock analysis of the offering. Morningstar IPO analyst James Krapfel highlights ADT as the newly traded S&P 500 member to buy over Kraft Foods (KRFT), citing its 10% valuation discount. Krapfel gives ADT a $40 a share price target and highlights ADT's strong market position and ability to make new subscribers additive to profits and cash flow within one subscription cycle.
Although ADT is spinning off from Tyco -- once a conglomerate in the Dow Jones Industrial Average before a string of spinoffs that's culminated in ADT's listing -- Krapfel says the company is also equipped to ward off far larger media conglomerates with its Pulse platform."With ADT Pulse, ADT is at the forefront of the industry move to interactive service offerings such as the ability to remotely lock and unlock doors, control thermostats and lighting, and conduct video surveillance," says Krapfel in a Monday note to clients analyzing new listings. "This should put the company increasingly head-to-head with the likes of Comcast (CMCSA) and AT&T (T), which are pushing their own interactive home monitoring solutions, but we think ADT should come out on top," he adds. For investors looking for a stable housing-themed investment with a hint of Warren Buffett's "moat" approach -- not to mention his major bet on the U.S. housing market -- ADT's existing subscriber strength, its growth rates and the company's pure-play exposure to residential security make it a compelling investment. Meanwhile, as the company builds on its Pulse platform to grow new subscribers, ADT is also a way for investors to gain safe exposure to the technological innovations of the Apple iPhone revolution occurring inside an increasing number of U.S. homes. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York

Customer Reviews
So here is my long-term usage: I'm up to 3,606. When you turn it on, it shows your count, and I like the positive reinforcement. Only 1% of the time some bigger food pieces get lodged when I put in a lot of stuff, and need to re-run it after re-positioning. The motor sounds the same after all of this time. When I bought mine it said 7 yr warranty and looks like it won't be problem getting there.
I have purchased one new carafe separately since my original purchase. If you blend a lot of acidic items such as limes, lemons, grapefruit, oranges, tomatoes, then I recommend that you immediately pour out the entire contents (I use two drinking containers) and rinse the carafe quickly before indulging in your meal. Over time, the acid wears away at the finish of the blade and it looks tarnished. It still works fine, just doesn't look good. I was trying to save washing another dirty container, but discovered it wasn't worth it.
if you are considering the Blendtec, then you are also comparing the competing VitaMix. I had one day's experience with the VitaMix at a raw food class. After doing a lot of on-line research, I decided to go with the Blendtec. I don't know what it is now, but at the time, the Blendtec had a better warranty and more horsepower (for longevity.) From a usage standpoint, I like just hitting a button once and it runs and shuts off automatically. For me, I've only made smoothies and humus in it, so I've never needed to change from the "smoothie program" which has four different length times. And it still has a fifth option to hit the "P" for pulse and to manually hold it down for as little or long as I want to go. The only other variable was the height of the machine. The VitaMix was taller, and glad that my Blendtec fits underneath my upper cabinet (my upper cabinet has 17.5" clearance from counter to the bottom of the upper cabinet.) But be sure to verify the current models. The VitaMix worked nicely in class and it seems a lot of people are happy with it, I just like the additional advantages to the Blendtec.
The only negative I can say about it is the sound level. It is extremely noisy, and you really need to plug your ears or else you'll do real damage over time. I have to tell everyone in the family when I'm ready to start it up so they have their ears plugged! Nothing is perfect . . .
I wanted a heavy-duty blender to make vegetable and fruit juices, and this baby fit the bill. Yes, it is terribly loud, but it really works, and it's super easy to clean. I've been using it daily and feeling good about the impact it's having on my health.
I've repeatedly tried to dramatically increase my consumption of raw fruits and greens with little success. It is extremely difficult to chew large quantities of produce. Blended food is the answer. I have prepared all manner of concoctions using the Blentec blender The Blendtec works as advertised. My drinks, smoothies and sauces are blended to smooth perfection in a remarkably short period of time. I definitely recommend getting the 96 oz container. I prepare food for one, sometimes two, and find the larger size to be perfect. The container is also very easy to clean. The product is expensive, but it works very, very well. I use it several times a day. Think of it this way: instead of cooking your food on a stove or in an oven, you are processing the food in a blender. You are essentially cooking without heat.
Here are a few of my favorite things about it:
1. It is able to fit on my counter under my upper cabinets (something VitaMix can't do)
2. The "blade" inside isn't sharp, at all, making cleanup a snap since you don't have to be very careful.
3. Preprogrammed buttons for the most popular tasks make it very simple to hit a button and let it do its thing.
4. You don't have to hold onto the machine, the pitcher, or the lid while it works it's way quickly through pretty much whatever you put in it.
It was expensive, and my wife was not thrilled at first, but she is a believer now. I put it to her this way: I know I'll continue to use this because every morning I get to drink something that gives me as much satisfaction as a large Dairy Queen banana shake, but with the benefit of being healthy!
I dropped 17 pounds this month and know that more is on the way. You probably can't go wrong with either this or the VitaMix, but I can tell you with certainty that I'm very pleased with this choice!
Then I sat down and read the manual. The next day, I used the smoothie button (preprogrammed to button 2). It started out innocently enough, speeding up and slowing down to let the mixture settle down, it kicked up a notch or two on the last 10 seconds of the countdown, then at the 5 second remaining mark, good lord! It ramped up to maximum rpm. Make sure the lid is on tight because everything in there may leap out. Wow.

Why is our solar research important?
Right now, solar energy systems are generating useful electric and thermal energy in every state and country across the globe. Solar energy is clean, abundant and efficient. In the last few years, prices have decreased significantly and technology continues to improve. It is one of the fastest growing industries in the country. Every day solar companies are creating jobs and the users of solar technology are making money every minute the sun is shining. So why aren't there solar panels on every rooftop?
One of the main reasons more people don't use solar is a lack of good information. There is also plenty of flat-out incorrect information about solar out there, and as a result many people believe that solar is too expensive or that the technology isn't ready to provide a significant share of America's energy needs. Despite this, we believe that millions of Americans are already seeing the facts and realizing full promise of solar energy.
Our research focuses on demonstrating the benefits of solar to both average citizens and key decision makers. In 2010, we published the award-winning National Solar Jobs Census 2010, which received widespread media coverage for establishing the first credible solar jobs baseline. Prior to that, we published two reports that were critical to efforts in extending the federal solar investment tax credits through 2016. This represented the first long-term tax credit for the solar industry, and has rapidly led to expanding markets, increased jobs and significantly lower costs for solar energy. TSF also supports the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Instructor Training Network (through IREC) by providing advanced solar labor market research and technical support. In October 2011, we published the National Solar Jobs Census 2011 report, which refines our Census 2010 methodology and numbers and provides for the first-time credible, baseline, conservative state numbers.
Finally, we have been contracted to research solar energy best practices in the U.S. and how they can be adopted by countries in Latin America. This research was published by the Inter-American Development Bank for the Fifth Americas Competitiveness Forum in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Rihanna, Nicki Minaj to Take Part in Benefit Album for Japan
While some artists have spoken out on Twitter to pay their respects for those affected by the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, others are taking a more active approach. Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, U2, Bon Jovi, and more are lending tracks to a digital-only album from Universal Music to raise funds for victims of the natural disaster.
The final lineup is yet to be determined, though Lady Gaga is also rumored to be part of the project, which sees participating artists waiving royalty fees and all proceeds going to the Japanese Red Cross. Fans will most likely get the album later this week, with the digital offering getting rushed to online stores to help benefit victims more quickly.
"We are doing it only digitally because it is faster, and this will be a worldwide release. The plan is to have it available later this week," said a spokesperson for the Japanese Red Cross.Tweet

Smartlipo laserlipolysis is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The procedure disrupts the fat cells through a thermal and photodisruptive action – heating and shattering the fat cell membrane. The laser coagulates the underlying vessels due to the hemostatic properties of the laser, resulting in less bleeding, bruising, trauma as well as less down time. As an added benefit the system has also been reported to promote tissue tightening through bulk thermal heating and tissue coagulation.
The procedure is commonly performed under local and tumescent anesthesia. A laser fiber is introduced through a handpiece and detachable cannula. The cannula is then inserted through a 1 to 2 mm incision in the skin and into fat pockets. The cannula, with the tip of the fiber exposed approximately 2 mm, is then moved in a "back and forth" fanning motion. The laser's aiming beam can be visualized through the skin, allowing the physician to identify the treatment area. As the fiber tip comes in contact with the fat cells it ruptures the cell membranes and releases the fatty oil from the fat cells. This end product may then be aspirated from the site.

The first buyer? Crazy tradition but it is in Vietnam Vietnamese people believe in the First Buyer! It means the first buyer in the day will bring them more or less customers in their whole day of business. And they feel very unlucky if the first buyer do not buy anything from them. So, DO NOT BE THE FIRST BUYER. Better do the shopping in the later morning or afternoon.

Today is maybe the slowest news day ever, so here's Gisele Bundchen in Melbourne, Australia launching her new Ipanema shoe collection for Novo. Although calling these things shoes is a stretch. They're more like flip flops. Ugly flip flops. You'd think a supermodel would be better at this. Well, no, I guess that's not true. The only thing you'd expect a supermodel to be good at is not eating and trying to read books upside down.
Gisele Bundchen is a shoe salesman
Also what is lamé? Is that french for lame? Because you can also use the words 'Leonardo Dicaprio' as a synonym for lame.
Anyshit there is not enough money in this world to pay me to stand in a hideous slut bikini next to some egocentric man faced amazonian bitch in five inch heels and a fancy gown, man that must be a humiliating job.
Really looking at these chicks and Manchend she's not any hotter she's just wearing more expensive somewhat classy crap and is covered in the usual stench of moderate fame that would empress and attract impressionable asskissing fame worshiping losers, you know the ones that hang around this celeb trashing site to come to the defense of the worthless hollywood attention whores.
I think she looks like a man. Great bod. Man face.
#19. You are right about that! That's something else that is annoying…overrated asses. Do girls with poor asses just don't know it? ie: She's prancing around at a major publicity event in small bikini bottoms. Does no one have the heart to tell her so? How does one such bad, flat ass get hired for such an event? Sorry girls, flat and small just doesn't cut it. She looks like she has a short crack too…yucky…
p.s. Hey modeling agencies! Stop hiring the fuglies!!!
You're saying she's near-sighted?
Good hair too.
But still, manface.
"DURRRRR! Sh– sh– sho-o-o-o-o-es."
Looks like Gisele's got some shoes in her mand. I'm still not going to guy them. Not even if they're male ordered.
My granny says they are awesome and that everyone at the 'home' are wearin them. She says 'flip flop' are for kids under 50 years old. These are plain old(ie fugly) real practical sandals already found at your local Wal Mart.
But she's dating my man so maybe I'm biased.
Ya, no. Manface.
Hey, AlwaysRight, that brunette is prettier than Gisele, and her butt is just fine. Women aren't supposed to have muscular, protruding buttocks like the ones behind the glory hole in your favorite bathhouse. Maybe you would change teams for Kim Kardashian?
Hands down THE most beautiful girl around today.
She created the look of the 21st century.
She's too conceited. I hope somebody slices off one of her nipples and sews it to her eyeball.
Jimbo, that's gross.
Trollicide is the only answer here.
I normally don;t mind the ladies being taller then me because it leaves me at boob level. But the problem with the supermodels is that they don't have boobs. The irony is biting.
If that woman tried to seduce me wearing those shoes then I'd let her. I have no foot fetishes. I'd look in her in the eye to make sure she was serious and then I'd be between her legs looking for ovaries. Tom Brady is so lucky.
She doesn't have overly large hands and her Adam's Apple is barely visible. Plus she reportedly has a huge cock. What's not to like?
She has always screamed "Tranny!" to me
someone should tell the poor girls that shoes are worn on the feet..not on the hands..dont they have assistants who can tell then this? …hmmmm
alsowhy isnt she wearing a pair herself? oh sorry I forgot…its cheap plastic shit…i will wear my 8000 dollar stilettos and the common muck can wear my rubbish shoes
Screaming tranny, get it?
The only dick Gisele has got is the one her luck guy's put in her. If she's a tranny then I'm ready to do my first man.
Gisele Bundchen, per Forbes magazine, is the richest supermodel in the world with a net worth (thru July 2007) of slightly over 150 million dollars. She is arguably already worth another 15 million, since she is equally adept at not only designing shoes, lingerie, but is talented in real estate. Among her holdings are a country home in NY, penthouse (NYC) and executive hotel in Brazil. She currently is designing her own lingerie line with one of the largest mfrs. in the world, H&M. Her Ipanema shoe collection debuted in 2001, in which she designed many of the styles, again per Forbes, as of July 2007 has sold over 100 million pairs. Bundchen, at 27, is certifiable in the business world as a genius and is incredibly hardworking. She recently sold her Beverly Hills home for a 3 mill profit and her other penthouse (she has 2) in NYC is listed at 10.9 mill, which will show a 8 mill profit if sold for that amount.
Ok, she's somewhat attractive for a dude, but she still annoys me. I'd give her a handjob and then start pumping so frantically that I rip her cock out by the roots.
So Rick, what does the inside of her rectum look like?
@73: Mmmph, mmmph . . . (Damn it! How do I get my head out of her ass, now that it's in here???)
For some reason this guy can't stand up straight. Ugly. Pic 6 looks like a wide adams apple moment to me. She/He reminds me of Ugly Jessica Biel.
I'd fuck her, but it'd be really hard not to slap her around.
#65, go back under your rock dumbass
ugly over rated horse face.
Hey #59, I didn't say anything about her face. With that being said, I agree that she is (slightly) prettier than Giselle, even though she is still average in that department as well as the ass department. Her butt is "JUST fine" and that is the problem It is not great, nor even good. If that's all the better you get then I feel sorry for you. I also didn't say I wouldn't hit it once or twice, butt it's definately AVERAGE at best.
The point I was trying to make is that very average girls with average faces and bodies get hired as models and then paraded around like they are God's gift. Why in the hell would you stand up for them?
Note she's not wearing those shoes herself.
ummm…she always sticks u butt out. why? she looks like the average joe. if she werent tall and skinny i dont think she'd be cat walkin.
I never thoght she was hot and i dont know how Rolling stone called her the hottest girl in the world being as she lacks any femine curves in her body
her knee looks jacked up in picture 2!! weird…
i dont find her hot atttt all!!!
#71. Rick are you her publicist because you sure kiss ass like one.
I don't know what you are trying to prove with that post but it certainly doesn't make her anymore appealing. So she's rich. Yeah that's such an admirable thing to be in this world you know what with all the starving kids, third world poverty diseases and social causes that need funding. all you've proven is that Gisele is another filthy rich greedy celebrity and don't bother posting her charitable donations because they are NOTHING compared to the massive wealth she squanders and keeps for herslef. It's not just about what you give it;s about how you live and this manwhore lives a life of pure greed. Only the true scroodges and worthless gluttons of the world live in homes that cost millions. The fact that she is a greed filled celebrity who actually thinks it's acceptable to live in mansions while children die all over the world on the floors of shacks just makes this nasty bitches fug man face even fucking uglier.
And there is NO WAY IN HELL she is a genius. Absolutely no fucking way on earth. Because a genius would be smart enough and morally minded enough to not live like a filthy greedy glutton with million dollar homes and 10,000 dollar outfits. Most of all geniuses don't design swimwear, because they're a little too busy trying to oh I don't make an actual difference and accomplish something that actually matters. It's a sick, sick world these greedy attention whores live in and their vapid lives are meanlingless and do not make any kind of valuable contribution to a world that is truely in need.
My wife was given the chance to be a model but she has too much respect for herself and actually really enjoys using her brain and amking a difference.
Gisele Bundchen and her fug face are exactly what is worng with this world.
She's just fucking useless.
pic 11 = HOT DAMN!!!
I have a pair of her slippers which are very popular in Singapore, they are extremly comfortable. Good material and they are quiet when you walk. I would buy a few more ,even if they didn't have her endorsement on it.
bitch is fug
1st of all stop hating b*tches gisele is the sexiest white girl on this planet! and im not a lesbian so back off but if i was you better believe id have me a bad b*tch like that on my arm no doubt she aint even stacked like that but she working with what she got and doin a damn good job
cj you are entitled to you opinion as am i and i must say thats the sexiest white tranny on the planet
is rick her business manager? why does he ramble on about how much money she has…is that the american way of saying..she is great! she has money! respect her!? damn that sad
who is this fat cow?
If she were waving that shoe in her size it would of knocked her over.
And she is losing her looks-she could be Sarah Jessica Parkers better looking cousin.
What is it with beautiful women. Why do they try to things other then look hot. They try to sing, write books, sell shoes, cook and it always the same, a disaster Beautiful women need to focus on what they do best, looking hot. Forget the rest. get married, stay at home, take care of hubby. When hubby comes home bring him a beer and his slippers, offer him a blow job to ease the stress from a hard days work. Have your hot fine sister or best friend prepare dinner while you're at it, parade around the room in front of hubby in lingerie and sexy body hugging outfits and in the nude. Then both of you snuggle up and go to sleep in his arms in bed after some late night threesome exercises.
The life, as it should be.
It's a man, baby! (And I usually like her :( Very disappointing)
She picked some rather unflattering postures for the camera — now SHE looks pregnant. Or is she? Maybe I missed it. On the other hand, I couldn't care less. Why am I even commenting?
EXTREMELY SEXY…that matters the most when snagging the hottest men in the world??? GET IT FUCKFACES???
she's so a guy.

Responding to the news that Ministers are to enshrine in law important eligibility criteria for the coalition's new disability benefit, the personal independence payment (PIP) NAS Head of Policy Sarah Lambert said:
"Benefits are a necessity for disabled people, not a luxury so the Government's concession on PIP will be welcome news to the many people with autism and other disabilities who are worried about whether they will be eligible for the new benefit.
"Today's announcement means that assessors will have to examine the context in which a person with a disability can carry out an activity.
"This will help to ensure that the system is fairer and takes better account of different aspects of the disabled person's condition."

DRIVERS are swapping 4x4s for smaller cars due to the rising cost of fuel, according to the motor trade.
WITH oil prices soaring, western leaders exhorting producers and the industry to release more supply and consumers like fishermen and lorry drivers staging protests, the one thing people want to know is when will things get back to normal?
PETROL yesterday soared past the £1-a-litre mark in Guernsey for the first time.

COMMERCE and Employment will keep a close eye on prices when fuel duty rises come into effect in the new year.

2001 Peugeot 306 hdi meridian 2.0 turbo diesel from UK and Ireland
Rear suspension bushes replaced.
Stitching on the drivers seat failing.
A/C failed.
Occasional fault with auto wipers.
Blows the near-side headlight bulb about every two months.
General Comments:
Perfomance is OK as long as you are not caught off turbo boost, but good torque in 4th and 5th gears. The fuel consumption is excellent, 55-60mpg on a run.
The handling is very good and road-holding is far better than my old V-6 Mondeo though this may have something to do with putting Goodyear Eagle NCT 5s on all four corners.
Brakes are a bit over servoed which makes smooth applications more of a chore than it should be and the clutch can be a bit stiff.
At first glance the interior looks a very pleasant place to be, but in time you tend to notice Peugeots penny pinching. The build quality is not very good with various rattles over rough surfaces and some of the trim, ie the metal effect centre console, is very cheap and tacky. In fairness being a 2001 model the car is an already old design.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
Review Date: 20th April, 2006

In response to BubbaInHawaii's comment:
In response to agcsbill's comment:
If the past is to be used as a gauge, it seems many times when the Pats went up against a pretty good defense, they prevailed handily. The difference, as the Broncos defense said, the speed of the Pats O is a lot different when faced in person than looking at it on film. Denver hasn't remotely come close to playing such an offense and Herny is back in the line-up!!! What do the Seahawks focus against? The run or the pass? Either way, BB and the O will take what they are given.
According to the current stats, they are more like San Fran. 66.6 rushing ypg and 14 points.Seattle 1293 258.6 960 192.0 333 66.6 70 14.0 4 San Francisco 1313 262.6 906 181.2 407 81.4 68 13.6
would you say the seahawks defense is more like Denvers....or more like Arizona's?

iPad 3 Features: World's Highest Resolution Display on The New iPad
The iPad 3 Release Date and Price in the US were officially announced by Apple on March 06, 2012. The biggest feature in The New iPad is its high-resolution display which makes it officially the World's Highest Resolution display on a device that's even better than HDTV.
The New iPad or iPad 3rd Generation is the first to have more than 3.1 million pixels (2048×1536 pixel resolution). It's a major breakthrough for Apple's Retina display that delivers razor-sharp text and more vibrant colors. It has 4x more pixels than the previous model as shown in the iPad 2 Features and Technical Specs.
To assist the iPad 3's stunning display, Apple gave it a dual-core A5x processor which is not the quad-core chip like the one on Acer A510 Tegra 3 Quad-Core Iconia Tab.
However, Apple accompanied the A5x chip with a quad-core graphics processor for the ultimate gaming experience.
Apple iPad 3 Tablet PC also boasted its 5MP iSight camera that shoots gorgeous photos using the same advanced optics as the Apple iPhone 4S: 5th Generation iPhone. It can also record 1080p HD videos up to 30 fps.
One of the biggest features on The New iPad or iPad 3 is its next generation wireless technology. It works with more bands than any device around these days. iPad 3 can connect using Bluetooth, WiFi, GSM, UMTS, GPS, CDMA and 4G LTE.
To accompany the new technologies in the New iPad, Apple also improved their softwares such as iPhoto, iMovie and others. If the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S got Siri intelligent assistant, the iPad 3 also got Dictation wherein talking is the new typing.

Ken Williams narrows his list for next White Sox manager
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN firstname.lastname@example.com September 27, 2011 11:16PM
Possible White Sox managerial candidates include Red Sox manager Terry Francona (from left), Rays bench coach Dave Martinez and Indians first-base coach Sandy Alomar Jr.

- Cowley: Let's hope Oz's exit changes Ken

Updated: December 2, 2011 2:11PM
Ken Williams offered to step away to another job in the White Sox' organization or to step down.
He said he has a preferred candidate to replace Ozzie Guillen, who parted ways with the Sox on Monday with two games left in the season, as the team's next manager. Williams said the successor could be named before the start of the World Series.
Pitching coach Don Cooper, who managed the team Tuesday and will do so in the season finale on Wednesday, was given a four-year extension, and first-base coach Harold Baines agreed to a multiyear deal.
And he refuted a Sun-Times report that he fired Guillen's bench coach and close friend, Joey Cora, via text message.
And there you have a handful of revelations and news blurbs that came together on an eventful and somewhat peculiar day after Guillen's last day in a Sox uniform. While the colorful manager was being sized for a Marlins uniform, Williams sat in Guillen's pregame perch in the Sox' dugout fielding questions about Guillen and the Sox' future without him.
Indians first-base coach Sandy Alomar Jr., a former Sox catcher, is thought to be a leading candidate to lead a post-Guillen era along with Rays bench coach Dave Martinez, but a major-league source said there's substance to an even more intriguing name: Red Sox manager Terry Francona.
Francona, like Alomar, has ties to the White Sox. He interviewed with Williams along with Cito Gaston and Buddy Bell in 2003, when Guillen was hired. He began his minor-league coaching and managing career in the White Sox' organization.
The reeling Red Sox are in danger of missing the playoffs, and Francona's contract is guaranteed only through this season with options for $4.25 million for 2012 and $4.5 million for 2013. Francona and his agent have not been approached about the options, raising more speculation about his status beyond this season.
Asked recently about next year, Francona told reporters, "I don't feel any different than I ever have. The organization not only has the right, but it's their obligation to get the right person, the person they think is the best. If at some point they think it needs to be somebody else — other than that, I think it's disrespectful for me to spend one waking moment thinking about my situation.''
Class AAA Charlotte coach Joe McEwing is highly thought of and successful. Bell, the Sox' director of player development, is not interested in being a candidate, Williams said.
Alomar has a lot going for him, having played parts of five seasons in three stops with the Sox. He's an ex-catcher and has been thought of highly by Williams since he was a player. Alomar was the runner-up for the Blue Jays job last year.
"He's ready to go,'' a major-league source said.
"Plus, he would have no issue with keeping parts of the current staff — they all know each other and have worked together,'' another major-league source said.
"There's a clear direction as to the way I want it to go,'' said Williams, who has had months — or more — to think about his next manager. "As I mentioned last night, there's a very short list. I've already begun heading down that list. I'll let you know when there's something to announce."
Asked if he has a preferred candidate, Williams said, "I absolutely do."
Williams said he will talk about the qualities he's seeking when the hire is made, which won't come before the weekend but could come before the World Series.
"It could be, yes,'' Williams said. "But we have to wait and see who the players are in the World Series and if there's someone on a playoff team that I ultimately might want to talk to. It might have to drag a little bit."
Martinez and Francona would fall under that group.
Williams said he will get an approval of the hire from chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. He also said he offered to step aside or step down from his GM duties because of the team's disappointing performance. It wasn't the first time he has.
"He didn't like it very much, but I felt compelled to reiterate that I was completely prepared to vacate the seat," Williams said, adding he had those types of conversations with Reinsdorf "one year ago, six months ago, four months ago, three weeks ago, two weeks ago."
Cora, expected to be Guillen's bench coach with the Marlins, exchanged texts with Williams but also a phone conversation, Williams said. Cora was told by Guillen that he would be managing the last two games. Williams texted him that Cooper would be managing.
"We had a conversation that we agreed [because] he's likely to go with Ozzie, and it would have been, in his words, awkward for him to be here," Williams said. "So I said, 'That's not a problem. I get it. Good luck.' We exchanged pleasantries, and that was it, a three-minute conversation."
