Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Scuba Diving: The base is located in Madeira's sole underwater nature reserve which is the only one in the Atlantic with the DIN-Certification and it has received awards for the best diving base
Transfer from the airport: Transfers from the airport can be easily arranged by me for you. This is arranged with a local company who will pick you up from the airport and take you directly to the apartment.

Also the spectacular 27-hole Santo da Serra golf course [also known as Campo de Golfe part of the PGA European Tour] is within easy reach - 13km away. This is Madeira's oldest golf course.

"A perfect base for relaxing and hiking"
The region of Canico or Reis Magos is a perfect place to stay. It is easy to reach all the beautiful places of Madeira by car. We spent most of the time hiking in the forest and in the mountains and following the levada paths.
Thank you for your review and im pleased that you enjoyed the apartment and all that Canico de baixo has to offer,

(Updates with prosecutors' comments in third paragraph.)
Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- A New Jersey woman who stole $2 million from investors in a Ponzi scheme and then used some of the money for a cruise and luxury goods pleaded guilty to wire fraud, federal prosecutors said.
Jenifer Devine, 39, of Fair Lawn, entered the plea today before U.S. District Judge Claire C. Cecchi in Newark, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman said in a statement. She faces as long as 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 or twice the amount of her gain or victims' loss as a result of her criminal conduct at her Dec. 20 sentencing, according to the statement.
Devine was arrested in November and accused of soliciting investors from New Jersey and elsewhere in the U.S. from December 2008 to September 2010, telling them that she would use their money to fund a wholesale clothing and electronics business and promising returns of as much as 25 percent, prosecutors said.
More than 15 investors sent more than $8 million to Devine, who used the money to make principal and interest payments to existing investors and for personal expenses -- including a Royal Caribbean cruise and purchases at luxury retailers such as Burberry, Coach and Gucci, prosecutors said.
The case is U.S. vs. Devine, 11-cr-00613, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) -- SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) -- Authorities say a natural gas explosion in one of New England's biggest cities has destroyed two buildings but hasn't killed anyone.
They say firefighters and gas company workers are among more than a dozen injured people.
The explosion in a downtown area of Springfield blew out all windows in a three-block radius, leaving three more buildings damaged beyond repair and prompting emergency workers to evacuate a six-story apartment building that was buckling.
Police Sgt. John Delaney says it looks as though there was a missile strike where the explosion leveled the multistory building at its epicenter.
Officials at two nearby hospitals say a total of 16 victims were transported with injuries but none was critical.
Firefighters responded to the scene at 4:20 p.m. and were investigating a gas leak when the blast happened shortly after 5 p.m.
A witness in a nearby barber shop tells WWLP-TV he heard a loud explosion that knocked him to the other side of the store. He says he looked up the street and saw one building severely damaged. The station reports that two buildings have been damaged, and the blast was felt for miles away.
There is no immediate word on injuries but ambulances have been sent to the scene.
There are reports that a gas leak was being investigating before the explosion.
Springfield is the largest city in western Massachusetts with a population of about 150,000.

Posted on: December 26, 2010 at 2:36PMWe just got back from St John which was absolutely beautiful! I didn't think it was going to be possible to find such a nice place to stay with our latest addition, our son who is 9 months. We came across www.babylovestravel.com which only reccommends properties for families. This elimated the hours of searching for me. The lady who helped, Rosette just kept sending us options and information, SO HELPFUL! Best of all the little one was free. The villa we stayed in was right on the beach, and it had a crib, housecleaning, air-conditioning, totally dreamy. report a problem

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

How to Make a Tornado in a Bottle
|Written by Darlene Michaud
This is a simple craft project that kids can do to make a tornado in a bottle.  It's a fun project to make at children's parties or it might also make a good science project.
Supplies you need to make a tornado in a bottle:
Step 1:  Fill the clear plastic bottle with cold water.
Step 2:  Add the liquid dish detergent to the bottle.
Step 3:  Add the glitter to the bottle.
Step 4:  Screw the cap on the bottle tightly.
Step 5:  Holding the bottle by the neck, turn it upside down.  Then quickly rotate your wrist several times in a clockwise motion.  When you stop rotating your wrist, a mini-tornado will form inside the bottle.  You may need to practice a bit.
Tip:  For a special colored effect, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the bottle.

A game asking for 8 gigs mem ?
Clan wolf ?
Hell. Yes. House Steiner FTW.
'Bout time! I was beginning to think the franchise was dead.Video games have come a long way since the last Mechwarrior game. Virtually every mechwarrior game has been great, so with any luck, this will be, too. It certainly looks great.
Bring on a Mech fully loaded with PPC's that hits as hard as your mother used to with a shoe and would make you shut down from overheating every time you fired! :D Can't wait for this!!
If they do this right and DON'T ruin it with micro-transactions or some lame crap like that this could be huge. I Love MechWarrior. All the original games and especially the "Mercenaries" games are totally bad ass. More so when played with a good flight stick.
They need to keep the mechanics from MW3 for game-play and they better not mess it up with the "Online". Being Online ruins so many good things. Hell, I'm loving Diablo 3, haven't stopped playing it since launch, half way through my first run on normal difficulty, but the online is actually limiting game-play.
Just last night they took the servers down for 9 HOURS. You couldn't even play the game in single-player mode. Nope, sorry, the "Online" portion of the game is down so you can't play, not even by your-self. I remember when Diablo was a single-player game. I bought and played Diablo 1 back in the day and I don't remember playing mmulti-playerat all. To be fair though I was living in the sticks at the time and didn't have internet anyway.
Still, just don't screw up MechWarrior with online nonsense....please!!!
LOL so awesome!
Did anyone else replace all the weapon sounds with MW3 sounds in their head? I especially did for the missile launches.
Oh, can't wait for this! I loved playing Mechwarrior 3 and 4
I haven't played much Mechwarrior in the past, but I've been looking forward to this for a while.
Oh my beloved madcat are bacK!!
Itching for thisone more and more everytime new footage is released.
Thought i read somewhere "Hellcat" and "Atlas" won't be in it though due to some FASA licensing issues.
Anyone who can confirm that one way or the other ?
looks pretty good, will make a nice change for a multiplayer shooter to focus on strategy and pre-match prep rather than finesse
This will be one hell of an awesome comeback...
Looks really good. Don't know where this franchise has been, but I'm glad to see it again. Now I just have one more reason to upgrade my video card.
So stoked that I'm gonna be getting my new laptop in time for this! Even though I still have a ton of fun with Mechwarrior 4, I NEED this one so bad!!!
Every time I see more screens and videos of this, I am even more impressed that this is a free to play game. I'm soooo excited for a new Mech Warrior.
The wait has been too long. This is looking awesome enough for me to start thinking about building a new rig.
This is definitely moving along nicely. I would love to see huge battlefields. Like 64 players would be amazing and chaotic.
holy crap..... a crapy game, will fail after release for sure
That looked awesome! I had so much fun playing Mech Warrior many years ago. I hope this game lives up to pedigree.
Man its been so long since a mechwarrior game, really looking foward to it.
wow that game is coming along nicely!
I love the smell of disintegrating armor in the morning.
@Kayweg Er what? The Atlas is shown in this trailer and the Hellcat likely wont be in it because they aren't doing aircraft in any form yet.
@madmartigan117 Did you play the old ones for computer?
@Gelugon_baat Shhhhh you must not know what this here game is.
@Gelugon_baat what else did you want
@darzentas how rude sir
@RandAlThor They should add a story line as well. Like a small single player campaign. That would be sexy

Some people, not you, within the NLD community seem to think that I haven't suffered enough because my late teens, 20's and 30's were times of great happiness.
They discount the years I went to sleep crying because I didn't have friends or enough friends. I cried because I was the last person picked on any team. I cried because I couldn't sing or dance. I cried because I couldn't draw non-abstract paintings or other artwork. I cried because people called me lazy. I cried because kids threw me into the bushes at the bus stop and called me names. I cried because I was teased.
I cried because I had many learning disabilities that precluded me from going to Ivy League or first tier colleges and universities when I, my parents and my guidance counselor knew that I was capable of the work. They didn't have accommodations or disability offices then

Castiel tells Sam and Dean he needs to find God because God is the only other one besides Michael that can stop Lucifer. The brothers head to River Pass, Colorado to handle an alleged demon outbreak, but that's not the big news. Not by a long shot.
"Good God, Y'all" reminds me of a mix between Season 2's "Croatoan" and Season 3's "Sin City." In "Croatoan," Sam and Dean dealt with a demonic virus. Bridges were out, chaos reigned, people turned into monsters — that's basically what has been happening in this small town. The citizens have been made to think their neighbors are demons, but It turns out no one really had black eyes or was susceptible to holy water, salt and/or exorcisms. The "Sin City" part of the equation comes in to play after "Roger" reveals to Sam he didn't have to do much to cause the disorder and destruction of this town. I kind of remember the same thing happening in the Season 3 episode where decadence and debauchery prevailed. So thanks to a hallucination here and a nudge there, the good people of River Pass are taking each other out. And we can all thank "Roger" who turns out to be War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The fact we're in Week 2 of Supernatural's version of the end of days and we've already met one of the four horsemen is a pretty significant event. But this was just one of many significant events:
Classic Rock ReturnsI totally didn't expect to get another classic rock recap so soon. But not only did we hear Foreigner's "Long Long Way from Home," another tune (Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky") started blaring when Sam and Dean first got to River Pass.
Dean's AmuletThis is why I love this show. We get answers. You think the writers have dropped something; a plot point, a character, whatever. But then weeks, episodes, seasons later and there is the answer. In "Good God, Y'all," we learned the significance of Dean's amulet. According to Castiel, it burns bright in God's presence and it'll allow Cas to find Him. It's the one Sam originally intended to give to John one Christmas; he ended up giving it to Dean. We fans have been wondering and wondering and asking Creator Eric Kripke about it in countless Q&As all across the internet universe for four years now. Seriously people, this is a huge moment. When Cas first mentioned the amulet I still didn't put two and two together until he looked down. I love how Dean didn't want to give it to Cas. He knows his brother gave it to him way back when. You could tell he didn't want to part with it at all. It means everything to him. He wears it 24/7. I still remember Dean reclaiming his amulet from his shape-shifter clone in Season 1's "Skin."
Sam strugglesSam's struggles are hopefully going to be part of the show for a while because he had a major addiction last season. Even though he does not have to go through the physical effects of the disease thanks to God, he definitely should be dealing with the emotional effects. So seeing him look at the blood on the knife and the floor after killing what he thought were demons, was big. His desire for the blood was truly evident. His frustration with his situation was also evident especially when he shoved Dean during their tense and uncomfortable conversation. Can't they just make up already? It's difficult to see them at odds like this, however, I can see both sides of the argument. Sam feels he's learned his lesson. He wants his brother to trust him, he wants everything to be normal and he wants to be treated like an equal. He doesn't want Dean to be suspicious of him or wary of him. As for Dean, he had just seen Sam in the middle of the convenience store eyeing that blood-soaked knife like it was a juicy steak. He doesn't want Sam to be in a situation that's going to be too tempting.
"Roger" mentions Sam's battle with the blood and how Sam doesn't just want to be strong — he wants to be stronger than everybody. How did he get that way? Is it because he got the taste of the power when he was all hopped up on demon blood and able to eradicate demons with a single thought? Or does this date back to before Ruby came into his life? I mean, he and Dean have always had a bit of a savior complex. Sometimes I feel like I need to be a psychologist to understand this show. But that's a good thing in my book.
Sam leavesI understand Sam's doubts and I understand not trusting himself. I just don't want him to put any more space between the brothers than there already is. At least he's not secretly or angrily skipping out on Dean like he's done in the past. He's being up front with how he's feeling and how he's going to deal with it. Right now, Sam hunting in the state he's in is a lot like an alcoholic working in a bar. Demons are always going to be around so the temptation will constantly be around. Hopefully in the next episode he'll deal with his own personal demons and he'll quickly get back to Dean's side where he belongs. What makes this event so significant in my opinion is we finally get to see Sam let his feelings out to Dean. To me, he took responsibility for his actions. But I really, really wanted Dean to tell Sam not to go and I think Sam really, really wanted Dean to tell him not to go. I think they both ultimately need to deal with their demons. They might as well do it now and get it over with so they can get back to the business of being brothers sooner rather than later. Dean offering Sam the Impala was a beautiful thing.
Classic Supernatural characters returnThree characters from Supernatural's past returned. We haven't seen Rufus since Season 3 when he and Dean had conversations. I thought Steven Williams was going to come back last year, but that didn't happen. So it was good to see him. I'm so glad Samantha Ferris (Ellen) and Alona Tal (Jo) came back. Ellen hugging and then slapping Dean was very much in character. I really wanted Sam to open up to Ellen about what's going on with him when they went out looking for demons. Disappointing were Jo's interactions with Sam and Dean. Dean pretty much said "hi" to her and that's it. And Jo and Rufus did battle with Sam and tied him up to the chair because they thought he was a demon. Am I wrong in thinking the last time Sam and Jo saw each other was when he was possessed in Season 2's "Born Under a Bad Sign?" Granted he was under demonic influence but he did some bad things to Jo. That warranted at least a mention, in my opinion.
Other thoughtsPoor Bobby. Love that he's upped his crank-ometer. It's set on high. Love that Dean wanted to help cheer up Bobby by giving him a back rub. It sucked that Cas is on limited angel powers and he's already lost his healing powers.
The shot of Dean's X-ray was way cool.
Was Cas calling Sam's cell phone? That was a little weird to me. Loved that shortly after Sam told him where they were Cas popped in a second later.
Castiel is going to find God. That seems to be his mission. Does that mean we're actually going to meet God? And is God going to be in human form?
Cas' conversation with Dean — what did you guys think of it? Was Cas right to lay blame on Dean for everything? When he said he and Sam destroyed the world that was harsh. Kind of true, but harsh.
Titus Welliver played War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. He and Mark Pellegrino (Lucifer) both guest-starred in the season finale of last season's Lost. They played opposite each other in a very mysterious island story line. I wonder if we'll see him again on Supernatural. I'm thinking we will. That was a sweet Mustang his character owned.
So we've met War. His siblings are: Conquest, Famine and Death. Wonder when we'll meet them and I wonder what cars they drive. It's all about the horse power.
I miss Dean and Ellen scenes. I always loved them back in the day. I still do.
I like the idea of Ellen and Jo hunting together.
Dean has had to make more mature and tougher choices. He didn't go try and save Sam without a plan.
I kept thinking about the blood that spattered on Sam's face after he cut off War's finger.
How gorgeous was the view where Sam and Dean had that last conversation?
Who did Sam catch a ride with at the end of the episode?
Favorite Lines "Cell phone Cas. Really?"I'm going to find God.""God? God." "He isn't in heaven he has to be somewhere." "Try New Mexico, I hear he's on a tortilla." "No he's not on any flatbread.""Don't lose it.""Great. Now I feel naked.""When you find God, tell him to send legs.""You better put me on speed dial, kid." "Yes, ma'am.""I just wish I could save people like I used to.""I'm getting too old for this.""I think underneath I just miss the feeling.""I'm in no shape to be hunting.""Maybe it's best we go our separate ways." "Well, I think you're right." (So crushing!)"You want to take the Impala?""Take care of yourself, Dean." "Yeah, you too Sammy."

"Knowing" opens in MarshallPosted Friday, April 10, 2009, at 12:32 PM
Get to know Nicolas Cage's latest movie "Knowing". Now playing at Marshall Cinema.
This is the best movie I've seen released this year. It is great science fiction told with intense suspense. Filled with both scientific and Biblical rhetoric, "Knowing" is a powerful experience that is sure to have audience members talking when they leave the theater. Go to bbtheatres.com for showtimes and tickets.
Read my review of "Knowing" here.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Chyna!
Facts about Chyna
- Breed: Boxer Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Chyna's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Chyna is a playful, fun-loving girl in need of a new home. She loves the other dogs at her foster home and will play for hours with them if you let her. She does well with the children at her foster home also. She is affectionate and loves people. She is a great dog that is going to make anyone a great family dog.
Other Pets at K9 Rescue and Rehoming
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chyna, a Cokato Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Cokato, or seeking a Boxer dog from a breeder in Cokato.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cokato already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cokato breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cokato paves the way for another one to be saved.

Man's Nike Beard Is All Kinds of Awesome
Putting your foot in your mouth has never looked so fashionable.
Putting your foot in your mouth has never looked so fashionable.
I grew a beard out for No Shave November. It's pretty scraggly. I've been waiting all month to shave, but now that November is finally over, I'm wondering if I should just keep it since I took all this time to grow it.
I'm sure most of you know it's No Shave November. Guys everywhere grow out their beards for an entire month to raise awareness for prostate cancer. A few of us here at the station are doing it, and we've already come across a dilemma we need help with: can we shave our necks?
Who knew? The perennially clean-shaven Kenny Chesney is changing up his look and has grown a beard. While we're used to the singer's baby face, we bet his scores of female fans will love this new, rough and tumble look.
Today was the end of the beard-growing fun for me. People kept asking me if the beard was growing on me, and while it may have been growing, it is definitely not for me. I kept the beard for some family photos during my nephew's graduation, and then Harry from Huntin' and Fishin' with Harry said last week that he'd get a lot of people calling into the station to get me to have him trim my beard with his hunting knife. All I can say is that Harry may be great at hunting, fishing and carving, but the things he carves on are dead and I am quite alive. I gave it this weekend and then decided it was time for the beard to go. It has been over two weeks since the Detroit Red Wings lost in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so it was time for me to lose some hair weight. Harry and Kaleb Filis both gave me a great idea: get a straight edge shave. I had never done that before, but heard it had an amazing feel.

Ltc to hospital
- 0Dec 7, '12 by AimBSNI'm a new grad who has been working in ltc for about 4 months and was wondering how long it took you to land a hospital job and/or what you did to get a job in a hospital. I've done what others have suggested: I volunteer as a nurse in a free clinic, am acls and cpr certified, have good references and grades, and am trying to network. Any feedback would be appreciated!
- 2Dec 7, '12 by 1pinknurseI was working at a psych facility (LTC) when I landed my hospital job. Even as an LVN with less than 2 yrs experience in So Cal, I was able to do it. How? I applied & didn't care what others thought.

Such a pain to remove!!!! The application takes for ever at least an hour and it takes for ever to remove them. They sometimes peel right off after only a few hours after application, so I was getting fed up with it. Can't recommend these. If you want gel nails that actually last, get gelish professionally done at a salon!
I have been paying out the nose to get no-chip manicures in the salon, which is why I am SO happy to have found this product! I polished my nails with this system almost two weeks ago and they are still chip-free and shiny. Relative to the cost of a manicure in the salon this system is cheap and the application is very easy. I haven't taken the polish off yet, but I am prepared for a lengthy removal process having had it done before. Overall, excellent -- I can't stop singing its praises!

I rarely post reviews for products, but this is hands down one of the best beauty products I have ever purchased.
My nails break very easily, won't grow long, and I have to use my hands a lot at work. Regular nail polish looks decent for about 2 or 3 days before I have to remove it.
The kit was not difficult to use. I am SO impressed with the results. The gel polish makes them thicker and smooth. They are shiny and the best part is that my nails looked perfect for a week! No more weak and breaking nails. After 9 days, I decided to remove the polish, and it took about 20 minutes to remove. Not as bad as I expected considering the reviews I read.
The downside for me is that the colors aren't as funky or vibrant as I like. I bought some Gelish colors and they work perfectly with the kit.
This product is a serious game changer and I only wish I would have discovered it sooner.

Amazing value for money! Whole kit for 60 pounds, 2 manicures in the salon.
Nails don't last the 2 full weeks on me, but still giving it 5 stars as regular nail polish barely lasts 2 days on me and I can get 10 days wear out of this!
Colour range available on the website is great too, love evening sand especially.
Love the packaging too. All-round great product!
This review is for the espresso bean polish only. I really like the product in general and will continue to use the other colors. I was looking for an alternative to a black polish and when I saw the espresso bean I envisioned a rich brown. Perfect....if only it was. This color is an army green. I'm a little traditional with my colors, so I will not be using this color again. It is a pain to take off so after I spent an hour doing my nails, I didn't want to do the process again. Unfortunately, every time I look at my nails this morning I feel like there is algae growing on my nails. This will be coming off tonight.
I used to get my my nails done at a salon every two weeks with the Gelish, but it was $45 a pop, so I eventually stopped getting them done. I am the type of person who loves to have my nails looking pretty, but I hate to do them. I will leave the polish on for weeks before I do them again, which is not the most attractive site. When I first saw this product advertise I was like, "there is no way it works!"
Well, I purchased this on a whim last week. I didn't even check what color until I got home. I ended up with the Scarlet Red. I am not a red polish person so was a little put off, but was set on trying this out.
I read the instructions a million times, along with the MA reviews a zillion times. I am really good at doing my own manicures. I take the time to do it, I use higher end polish and base/top coats. My home manicures usually last a full week looking great before they start to look bad. Well...from a distance they looked phenomenal once I did the Sensationail. Up close, not so much. I honestly just attributed it to my needing to practice more with the product getting on the skin. I also believe I used too thick of a clear coat. It says to apply a thin coat for a reason. I had bubbles on some nails, color on sides of most fingers. But, the product actually worked. It did what it claimed to do. I must also say that they Scarlet Red was gorgeous and I will be using red more often.
I put it on Thursday. It started chipping today (Monday), but I again feel it was because I applied way too thick.
Having an addictive personality, I became obsessed this weekend reading reviews. I decided to try the Gelish Brand, went to my local beauty supply and purchased the Ph Bonf, Foundation, Top It Off and the shimmery color Ambience. I took off the polish today and re-did my nails. They look great. The application was so much smoother and nicer. The LED lamp that came with the Sensational Kit worked very well with it.
I will say that capping off the tips is a huge factor in getting the polish to set, or cure, nicely at the tips.
I was concerned that the removal would be really difficult based on what I read in the reviews and also because I used such thick layers. I completely soaked 10 cotton balls in pure acetone. I put the cotton balls on my fingernails and wrapped in foil (one hand at a time). With one hand at time, one finger at a time, I removed the foil. The first hand I let soak for 15 minutes. I did have to work a little bit, but without too much struggle. The second hand, I left soaking for 20 minutes. It slid right off and I could feel my nail beds and how ;perfectly smooth they were.
I gave this a 5 star rating because, they were not perfect as a result of my application, not because of the formula. I think the price is fair because from what I have seen, the LED lights are expensive and this cures in 60 seconds or less. The packaging leaves little to be desired. I would buy this again simply to replace the LED lamp if I needed to.
I will use the Gelish products from now on, with this lamp. Next, I will try to gelly sammich them!!

More reviews by BurberryBrit89
I've been thinking about buying this product for a while now, months even, especially when it was on sale on drugstore.com for about half off.
However, I am a beauty adviser at Walgreens, and we got one of these kits for demo for one of our "saturdates." The senior BA had no intention of using it, so she gave it to me.
It's stupid simple to use. All together I'd say it only takes about 15/20 minutes total to do, and you could wash dishes the second you are done. Awesome, no more dry time or bed sheet marks.
Having to be super careful about not getting it on my skin (which just begs for chips) is annoying to me, only because my method of manicuring my nails is : Do before bed. Let the shower water and loofah take care of cleanup the next morning lol.
I will say, this has never last 2 weeks on me. Only one week. And since 40 hours of my time are now spent putting away product, tearing through boxes, and now dealing with the Hallmark aisle, that in itself is a miracle.
I bought the French kit (mostly for the sheer pink, I found the pink in the starter kit to be just a TOUCH too loud), and I'll agree with the review on that kit specifically: the tips do lift quickly (I followed one reviewers advice and put the color on top of the white strips -- still lifted, but muted the stark whiteness). HOWEVER they don't chip.
I also noticed that the base coat under the white tips didn't chip at all. So what I did tonight is put 2 coats of just the base/top coat on. At some point I'll go ahead and put a coat of a regular polish on, to see how long that lasts.
It definitely makes my nails strong enough to grow out, I've had to file them once a week, when I re-done my nails. They're a bit damaged without the gel on it, however. This is completely my fault though, because once a side starts to lift, or a chip happens, I start peeling away! Terrible habit. Don't do this lol

Got this for Christmas in Raspberry Wine. So far so good. No chips, only problem is on one finger my technique was off and I got it on the skin a bit and now I could peel it off if I wanted. I will be more careful next time!
A 4 for overall as I would like to see a greater range of colours (blacks and glitters!!).
I have been absolutely thrilled with this product. I love the look of polished nails but I hate it when my polish starts to chip. The Sensationail system allows me to have shiny, chip free nails for ten days. A very important step when using this product is to make sure you cap the nail in each step (brush the polish across the tip of each nail). This will ensure you don't have any chips.
I usually remove the polish after ten days because new nail growth starts to become visible (same way it does with acrylic nails). It makes my nails very strong as well. Ive never had nails this long before! I find that the system works well with other polishes such as OPI and Essie (shimmer or glitter polishes from these brands dont wear as long). When using regular polish follow directions as usual but allow the polish to air dry before proceeding to the next step.
For removal I place a cotton ball soaked in Onyx pure acetone (available at Wal-Mart) and wrap the nail with foil. After 15 minutes I scrape the polish using the Sensationail metal tool (sold separately and worth the $5 investment). Always look for coupons! Sensationails will usually have some posted on their Facebook. Ive also found that the beauty clerk at Walgreens usually has coupons sent from the company as well.
The initial cost for the kit is expensive but well worth the investment.
The only disappointment Ive had with this brand is their French Manicure kit, which I will write a separate review for.

So I'm obsessive when it comes to my nails and i will not leave the house without nail polish on so even though I'm not usually one to say that a product has changed my life, THIS PRODUCT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! In used to get my nails done at the salon religiously but after having my son I just didn't have then time to do so. Instead I scoured the earth and spent a ton of money searching for nail polishes, base coats, top coats, ect. Obviously some were better than others but for the most part I was NEVER happy with my nails. If they dried with a bubble in them I'd redo them, if there was a smudge, I'd redo them, so needless to say every time I painted my nails it was a 2 hour affair and then no matter what they'd chip within 2 days, and then it was time to start all over again. I tried other gel sets which would make my nails crack within 24 hours. This stuff however is awesome!!! It always goes on smooth, no bubbles as far as the eye can see. they're completely dry within 2 minutes, you can change the baby, dig in your purse, curl your hair, go to bed without getting sheet marks in your nails. They stay strong and shiny for almost two weeks, with swimming, doing dishes, giving tubbies, and two weeks of perfect wear is something I never ever dreamt of, I would have been happy with 5 days. I cannot recommend this product enough to anyone that wears nail polish!!! It is my HG of all nail products. (And it doesn't damage your nails like that damn acrylic)

I can not for the life of me figure out how to get into MAP 3D. I've used Civil 3D for a while now but never had to use MAP 3D. Do I need to have Civil 3d open to get into MAP 3d? is MAP 3d a separate program? I don't have a desktop launch icon and there is not an option for MAP 3d in the start up menu, so I am assuming you have to access it somehow through C3D, but how?
Please help
in civil 3d its a workspace change
change from the civil 3d workspace to the planning and analysis workspace to access map 3d
i am assuming your using 2010 or higher
if its 2009 or lower Map 3d installs with Land desktop companion
>> if its 2009 or lower Map 3d installs with Land desktop companion
Also in lower version of Civil3D the Map is built in in the same way as it is in newer Civils
What is Map3D: that are GIS-functions added to AutoCAD
What is Civil3D: that is suveying + civil-engineering functions added to AutoCAD + Map3D
So having Civil3D you have full AutoCAD and full Map3D included (to be honest: Map3D without the ex-Topobase-functionality when you speak about Map3D-2013 and Civil3D-2013).
And to get access to the GIS-functionality you either have to know the commands or you have to know that one part of the functionality is accessable within the Map-Workspace (which could be started with command _MAPWSPACE) or you change (as already mentioned) your workspace to a "Planing/Analysing" one (hope that is called so in the english version).

1998 Volkswagen Polo Classic 1.8i from Namibia
Value for money
My radiator packed in one night at ~135000km.
Front drivers seat has started to wear on its sides.
Clutch has now started to slip.
General Comments:
It's a 1.8i and I must say is very fast in the pull, as well as top end.
Excellent reliability.
Good fuel consumption depending on how fast you drive it (~400km on one tank doing 130-150)
Its a lux. model so has front bucket seats which provide sufficient support.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 7th February, 2007

I've been looking at a compact/midsize 45 semi auto recently, looked at the Glock 30, 36, tried and failed to find an M&P45c, stuck a Sig in my pants and almost had them fall down etc. I went tonight to a LGS that I semi frequent to look at the above guns again and did. I really have some issues with the idea of IWB carry of a Glock 30, it really is thick.
Here we go...I looked at a Taurus 24/7 G2 Compact and was really impressed, especially for $400 or so. The design is not new, but G2 is just what it sounds like and they seem to have proofed and polished the original concept. It is about the same size height and length as a G30 and holds 12rd flush fit. The build quality seems much better than what I have seen in the past from Taurus, it isn't quite Glock level but it doesn't feel like an airsoft gun like an XD either.
I like the DA/SA trigger feel, the size as well.
Look, I know Taurus has a mixed to poor rep, I have had a 740 myself and had annoying issue. However, unless you have a specific, first hand bad experience with this model, save me the 'Taurus is junk' BS...I'm looking for constructive input and feedback. This gun is my first .45 and is intended to be used for (not in this order): Range, occasional CC, HD.

General Motors
It has the Corvette and it has the Camaro, but since slicing Pontiac back in 2010, GM has lacked a non-premium rear-drive performance sedan in that same vein. The 2009 Pontiac G8, particularly the LS3 V8-powered GXP version, was the last car to fill that niche. The all-new Chevy SS puts the rear-drive performance sedan back in General Motors. Read More

With big changes likely in the global transport infrastructure, the race is on to create the missing link – the smallest, lightest man-packable form of motorized transport yet known. Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW and Nissan have all shown vehicles in this area, but none have yet hit the market. The best-of-breed is currently the Yikebike and it announced today that it has further extended its lead, lightening its US$4,000 Carbon model from 11.5 kg to 11.2 kg and extending its range to 15 km (9.3 miles). There's also now a choice of Yikebikes with two cheaper versions at 12.7 kg ($3,000) and 14 kg ($2000). Read More

Q From Christopher Key: Several of my Canadian friends use the term tickety-boo to describe an event that is proceeding quickly. Any idea where this one originates?
A It's certainly common in Canada, but is very probably British in origin. The usual meaning, by the way, is more that something is satisfactory, all in order, or OK.
We can't be sure what its origin is. Eric Partridge always contended that the word was forces' slang, most probably from the Royal Air Force, and that it dates from the early 1920s or thereabouts (though the Oxford English Dictionary doesn't find a written example before 1939). Considering the number of Canadians who flew with the RAF during World War II, its move to Canada isn't surprising.
The difficult bit is taking the word back any further than the 1920s. It could combine that's the ticket — with much the same sense — with the childish phrase peek-a-boo. But some find a link with the British Army in India, suggesting it comes from the Hindi phrase tikai babu, which is translated as "it's all right, sir".

I am a product/graphic designer in New Jersey, recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University's School of Design. I am interested in sustainable design, from the viewpoints of ecology, economy, and society, and a proponent of 'conscious capitalism.' I believe in a 'clinical' approach to design, and I also believe that the next world war will be over water, unless designers have anything to do with it.

I dont know the song or even the artist, its a girl I know that much. Anyway in the song she says "My mistakes will make me strong." When I was younger I always thought she said "mammas steaks will make me strong." Anyone else?

UTHSCSA-Summer 2013 Accelerated - page 20
Hello All, I am not sure if a thread has already started for the Bacc2 program,but I wanted to stay updated on the status of all the hopefuls out here. The deadline is soon approaching so hopefully I can stay patient during the... Read More
- 0Mar 8, '13 by NinaAnder1225Does anyone know the total cost of the whole accelerated program (just for tuition for 15 months)
- 0Mar 11, '13 by marikadanielleThey handed out info sheets at the info session which had the estimated tuition listed, however I can't seem to find mine. I did some searching on the UTHSCSA website as well and can't find that info listed anywhere. I'm tempted to say that it was somewhere around $17,000 or $18,000 but can't be sure. Also, not sure if our accelerated program is comparable to or cheaper than the traditional program.
- 0Mar 18, '13 by NinaAnder1225Thank you. Has anyone made or found the Facebook page for our class?
- 0Mar 18, '13 by Melissa1986Hi Nina - I don't think anyone had made a FB page yet. Do you want to make it?
- 0Mar 18, '13 by marikadanielleI don't believe anyone has made one yet..I've been keeping my eye open! I just personally didn't want to be the one to create it. Any takers?
- 0Mar 18, '13 by NinaAnder1225Same here. I think this thread has dwindled down to two or three of us. Hopefully some Facebook lover out there is reading this and will be willing to create it (being that it is T-7 weeks until orientation).
- 0Ok, I guess I can make the facebook page. I don't get on there everyday though. Any suggestions on what to call it??
- 0Mar 19, '13 by ashleyelizabethHi guys,
I'll be starting the accelerated nursing program in May also, and I was wondering if any of you had made up your mind about which laptop to buy or had heard anything about which one is the best to purchase?
- 0Quote from ashleyelizabethI decided to go with the 13" Macbook Pro. I don't have any Mac experience, but I didn't want to trust the Dells, since the students had trouble with them last year, supposedly. Wasn't the laptop form due already last Thursday?Hi guys,
I'll be starting the accelerated nursing program in May also, and I was wondering if any of you had made up your mind about which laptop to buy or had heard anything about which one is the best to purchase?
- 0Ok everbody--- I started a facebook group for our class. Search for: UTHSCSA Accelerated BSN Class of 2014
Let me know if you have trouble finding it.

Why to write about myself ! Then what will be the meaning to talk with someone and get to know each others.. Words never express what a person is, always we have to analyze between the words to know someone well.. even actions speak louder than words, but at least by sharing issues with others we can understand the nature of the way they think in. I hate selfish people and liars.
