I only played a little bit of this game. Although I agree this provides a better orgin story of Wolverine than the TV show, I do not recommend this game. First it is very shoddy and the graphics do not have much detail. There is also not much to do other than walk around and fight. It's also too har...more

'World's fattest man' loses 644 pounds
Paul Mason, formerly called "the world's fattest man," has shed nearly two-thirds of his body weight after gastric bypass surgery in 2010. At his heaviest, the 52-year-old from Ipswich, England tipped the scales at an astonishing 980 pounds.
READ: Alcohol, diet soda don't mix
Mason used to be so heavy that he was unable to leave his room. When he needed a hernia operation in 2002, the fire department had break down the front wall of his home and load him into an ambulance with a forklift. At that time, he weighed 784 pounds.
That humiliating ordeal was one of many low points for Mason, who became "an object of fascinated horror, a freak show exhibit," reports the New York Times. Now that the 6'4" former postal worker is down to 336 pounds, he's hoping for a second chance at a normal life.
READ: Too much TV could damage sperm production
Mason estimates that he used to eat about 20,000 calories a day, about eight times the recommended amount for an average man. The surgery shrank the size of his stomach to about the size of an egg, leading to rapid weight loss.

A New Zealand Prayer Book
Originally published in 1989 this first HarperCollins edition was published in 1997. This volume is well known and respected for its liturgies and language usage. Many have enjoyed its expression of the Lord's Prayer, others the Daily Office. It is inclusive in its language. The text is written in dual languages, English and Maori. This has become a very popular addition to the prayer book library. It measures about 5.5" wide by 8" tall by 1.75" thick.
I like it! Perhaps because they are familiar, but not exactly like ours, I find the prayers quite moving and thought provoking.
Sometimes it's a bit difficult to navigate, especially when the Maori suddenly appears, but even that has its own charm.
Thank you for having it available.
I find the New Zealand Prayer Book a refreshing and inspirational change in my daily prayer life. I particularly enjoy the Night Prayer. Thank you.
I ordered the New Zealand Prayer book because I knew there were some prayers which were different from the Book of Common Prayer. I have found the devotions, prayers, liturgies, etc. to be very meaningful and moving. I also like to see the Maori language written beside the English. I love this prayer book.
The Harper Collins publication of "A New Zealand Prayer Book" has within its pages divine, beautiful and eloquent words and phrases for the many prayers, collects, Liturgical Eucahristic Services, morning and evening services. The inclusion of the New Zealand and Polynesian language helps bring heart and life to my devotional reading time.
The 1989 New Zealand Prayer Book was recommended in The Oxford Guide to the Book of Common Prayer. It has three marriage services; offering modern, flexible choices for the couple.

Hawaiian Turtle Pocket Invitations The invitations were everything my fiancé and I wanted, and more. I am incredibly pleased with every aspect of the invitation, and with how prompt delivery was. These are probably the nicest invitations for a wedding I have ever seen!
Lovely Magnet Save-the-Dates
Hawaiian Turtle Save the Date Magnets We ordered our save-the-dates recently and they turned out just as we hoped. They were exactly as we designed them and they arrived within a timely manner. The only thing I wish had been included were instructions about how to put the magnets into the foil-lined envelopes (which way they needed to face). Other than that, everything was great! They also included lovely samples for wedding invitations that we will definitely look in to.
Turned out just as I expected and were very timely. I received a lot of compliments on them!
Nautical Feelings Square Invitations I was very pleased with this site and what we received.
You couldn't get anymore custom then that.
Hawaiian Turtle Save the Date Magnets Perfect to give our guests a heads up of our upcoming destination wedding at Turtle Bay in Hawaii! Service was prompt and love the sample book too.
Nautical Feelings Pocket Invitations Quick and fast! Able to accomodate many colors in the design. Designed and ordered and arrived 5 days later. Had a little bit of difficulty with the design tool - if you use internet explorer instead of another internet application it works better.

Cirrus Logic Inc.

"However, our energy control initiative, including motor control, is extremely important to the company and having this product development team based in our Austin headquarters will strengthen our focus and maximize our product development efficiency."

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Corey Dickerson went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored to back another strong start at home from Jorge De La Rosa, with the pair leading the Colorado Rockies to a 4-2 victory over the San Diego Padres to take the rubber match of a three-game series.
Dickerson finished with a pair of doubles and a triple to help the Rockies to their fifth win in six outings, while Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-3 and also knocked in two runs in the triumph.
De La Rosa (12-6) did his part as well, limiting the Padres to two runs while scattering eight hits and fanning six over seven innings to run his season record to 8-1 at Coors Field.
Andrew Cashner (8-7) also pitched well in a losing cause for San Diego, lasting seven innings and yielding six hits with seven strikeouts despite permitting three runs.
Chris Denorfia and Jesus Guzman both had two hits and an RBI to pace the Padres offensively.
Dickerson snapped a 1-1 deadlock in the bottom of the third inning with his second triple of the series, a shot into the gap in left center that brought home Dexter Fowler from first. Tulowitzki followed with a hard single up the middle to give the Rockies a two-run edge.
Cashner was dominant afterward, retiring the next 14 Colorado hitters before being removed to begin the bottom of the eighth, and the Padres closed the gap by reaching De La Rosa for a run in the fourth.
Jedd Gyorko doubled off the scoreboard in right field with one out and crossed the plate on a Guzman single to pull San Diego within 3-2.
The Padres had an opportunity to tie it in the sixth, as consecutive singles by Gyorko and Guzman put runners at the corners with none out. Logan Forsythe then hit a slow grounder to third with Gyorko running on contact, resulting in a rundown where he was tagged out and Rockies catcher Yorvit Torrealba alertly caught Guzman attempting to take third to complete a costly double play.
"Probably the biggest play in the game," said Rockies manager Walt Weiss. "It looked like we were running into trouble that inning and Yorvie makes a heads- up play to get us out of it."
San Diego failed to threaten the rest of the way, with De La Rosa and relievers Matt Belisle and Rex Brothers setting down 9-of-10 batters over the final three frames. Brothers tossed a 1-2-3 ninth to nail down his 11th save of the year.
Cashner ran into some bad luck in the opening inning as Colorado grabbed a quick 1-0 advantage. Dickerson sent a two-out flare into left field that he hustled into a double, with Tulowitzki -- who came into the contest in an 0- for-14 skid -- lofting a deep drive to left in which the ball popped out of Forsythe's glove as he crashed into the wall for a double.
"I thought I made some really good pitches today," said Cashner. "I just thought that some balls fell in. A couple of different plays and it's a different ball game."
De La Rosa began his day with two perfect innings before surrendering a leadoff single to Ronny Cedeno in the third. After Cashner sacrificed him to second for the second out, Denorfia came through with a single through the right side that knotted the score at 1-1.

Former Chicago police Cmdr. Jon Burge in 2011. | Sun-Times file photo
Updated: February 1, 2014 6:19AM
The Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission, which has suffered one near-death experience after another, got a much-needed boost last week when an experienced ex-prosecutor was named to take charge.
Now the commission, which has been virtually moribund since the end of July, must buckle down and complete its work before the fickle Legislature decides once again to pull its funding.
The commission has an immensely important task: Helping to find out whether any innocent men are behind bars because of statements extracted years ago through police torture. But it's run into one delay after another.
First, Gov. Pat Quinn took about a year to appoint quorum of commissioners. Then, in June 2012, the Legislature stripped the funding, which took nine months to restore. Next, there was an unnecessary battle with Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez over who would represent the state's side during evidentiary hearings. Most recently, the executive director was forced out in September after complaints that some relatives of victims weren't notified of proceedings.
Now, though, things are looking up.
The new executive director, Barry A. Miller, has the background to understand what went on in police lockups decades ago. He was a member of the prosecution team that convicted former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge of using electric shock, suffocation and burns to torture suspects in the 1970s and 1980s.
At the same time, as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois from 2000 to 2009, Miller has the experience to steer clear of spurious claims from inmates who might invent tales of torture in hopes of cutting their sentences short.
That's a good balance. We don't want to see another round of burying complaints about the misdeeds by Burge — or by his so-called midnight crew of detectives. But we don't want a commission that's naive about false claimes of torture, either.
Since the Legislature authorized its creation in 2009, the commission has documented 14 cases of credible torture claims and 16 where the evidence just isn't there. About 150 cases are waiting for action. August is the deadline for filing new claims.
The commission needs to pick up the pace. Already, work has begun on next year's state budget, which the governor traditionally presents in February during the budget address. Understandably, the legislators responsible for keeping the commission in the budget will expect to see some results.
A separate attempt to get to the bottom of police torture allegations is an effort by the MacArthur Justice Center and the People's Law Office to create a class-action lawsuit for Burge victims, giving them evidentiary hearings. Cook County Criminal Courts Presiding Judge Paul P. Biebel Jr. is scheduled in March to issue a written opinion on that option.
But we don't know how Biebel will rule. Right now, the torture inquiry commission is the only game in town for righting long-ago wrongs inflicted on victims of police torture.
The commission's job is not to decide guilt or innocence, but only to determine which cases contain credible claims of police torture. Those cases are referred to Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans, who assigns them to judges for further review.
It's taken decades to get this far in clearing up a sordid stain on Chicago law enforcement's past. The torture inquiry commission and its new executive director need to make sure the process is wrapped up with all deliberate speed.

Problem Upgrading HDD Unexpected I/O error 0xc00000e9
So I'm trying to upgrade my Dell Vostro 3550 hard drive(300gb) to a 500gb hard drive. I placed the new one in correctly, but I keep getting Unexpected I/O error 0xc00000e9 when I try to run the recovery disc. I'm really new to this, so I might have messed up somewhere.
|My System Specs
|26 Mar 2013
Windows 7-64 bit and 32-bit
Sounds like a registry poblem try the following
Option 1:
Restart your computer using an anti-virus recovery boot disk, and perform a complete and thorough scan (including the MBR if you can) of your computer for viruses.
If a virus is discovered then this may very well be the cause of your problem. Unfortunately however, removing the virus may not actually fix the startup problem, because it has already corrupted the registry files.
Option 2:
Insert the Windows Vista installation disk, and restart the computer. This should automatically start the installation program, but you may need to press Enter during startup to confirm you want to boot from the installation disk.
Select your Language etc, and click on Next.
Near the bottom of the screen click on Repair your computer.
Select the operating system (if it isn't already selected), and click on Next.
Select Startup Repair and follow any instruction on the screen. Eventually you will need to restart the computer (don't forget to remove the installation disk first).
If the Startup Repair doesn't solve the problem, repeat all the step above and select System Restore, and follow the on-screen instructions. (This option will only be of use if a System Restore point was previously created while the computer was still functioning correctly).
If the System Restore option indicates that the disk has errors, click on the Check the disk for errors option. Note that this may possibly indicate that your hard disk may be getting bad and needs replacement, especially if similar problems are starting to occur more often.
Option 3:
Try this option if you have previously made a backup of your entire computer.
Repeat steps 1-4 of Option 2
Select Windows Complete PC Restore and follow the on-screen instructions.
Option 4:
Completely reinstall Windows Vista from scratch. Unfortunately this will mean losing all the files currently on your hard disk, but hopefully you're one of those wise people who have regularly created backups of their important files onto CD/DVD.
Repeat steps 1-3 of Option 2
Select Install, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Don't install any additional programs or allow any (automatic) updates to be downloaded and installed yet.
If after a few reboots the computer appears to be working fine, create a System Restore Point as follows:
Click Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System Protection > System Protection tab > Create
If the problem re-occurs before installing any other programs or updates then you probably have a bad hard disk, which will need replacing.
Download any updates for Windows Vista and then reboot your computer a few times.
If the problem re-occurs after downloading and installing updates, then probably one of the updates is corrupt. In this case repeat steps 1-4 and then 6 of Option 2, to restore your system to the Restore Point you created in step 4, and then don't allow any Windows updates until Microsoft has come up with a fix.
If the problem does not re-occur, then you can start installing other programs.
Good luck

Hi Vullun,
If it is a brand new and virgin 500GB drive, then there is a problem with the drive. Return it and get a replacement.
What happens when you go back to the old drive - assuming that it was working fine?
You should always give more details such as whether the 500 GB drive is a new one or already used one, the make and model, whether your old drive was working and you just wanted to go for a large drive or your old drive conked off and that is why you are replacing with a new one etc.,
With scanty details, you are not going to get much help.

Suffering from constipation again and one my mates who also suffers from regular bouts of constipation recommended that I try some Psyllium Husks as its really helped him to regulate his bowel movements. I was told to take mix it in water before going to bed. While I have decided to take psyllium husks, I wanted to know what time of the day would it be best to consume Psyllium Husk? Before bed or first thing in the morning with my bowl of Oatmeal. I dont want to overdose on fiber and have all the fiber stuck in my gut either. I m soo confused.
Also after doing a bit of research on the forum, I found some conflicting advice on how to consume it. Some say it is best consumed on an empty stomach or also can be consumed during a meal but not before or after a meal. I m really confused and do not want any more constipation/gut problems.
Also I do suffer from IBS like syntoms so I wanted to Psyllium to regulat my bowel movements as I am about to increase the protein content in my diet and decrease the amount of cars I consume,hence decreasing my fiber intake so is it ok to consume psyllium husk on a regular basis?
Thank you

Palladino: Even in loss, Falcons prove they're for real
|Watertown's Mike Ricci scored with seven minutes left in the second overtime period to break a scoreless tie and lead the Indians to a 2-0 victory over St. Paul Catholic Friday at John Mills Field. (Joe Palladino Republican-American)
WATERTOWN -- The players looked at the lineup sheet before the game. When Watertown welcomed St. Paul on Friday for a Naugatuck Valley League boys soccer game, the Indians knew the Falcons did not have one senior on the field, started four freshmen, including the goalkeeper.
And they also had to notice that St. Paul did not use one substitute for 80 minutes of regulation play and 20 minutes of overtime.
And when it was over and Watertown scored twice in the final seven minutes of the second overtime period for the 2-0 victory, the common thought was, gee, St. Paul is going to be good next year.
Um, let's amend that: St. Paul is good this year.
The Indians prevailed Friday on overtime goals from Mike Ricci and Luigi Calabrese. Experience and depth won out. But if the Falcons have done anything this season, it is prove that St. Paul is more than just a tough opponent. The Falcons are a legitimate tournament contender.
"Coming from a 6-10 team last year, we got better, and we continue to get better," said junior midfielder Nicky Villani, who was everywhere Friday — on the attack, back on defense, directing the middle. "Most of our core team are juniors. NVL, watch out next year."
Forget next year. Watch out this year.
Watertown (5-0 Brass Division, 10-0-2 overall) ended the night with a 20-10 shot advantage, but if you measured quality chances the Falcons (5-2, 9-3) were on par with Watertown.
"We played fantastic," Villani finally admitted. "We played more of a defensive game because we knew they were powerful."
After a dead-even first half, the Indians began to wear the Falcons down, ultimately holding St. Paul without a shot in overtime, while forcing freshman keeper Zachary Federowicz to make five saves in the extra 20 minutes, all of them testers.
Watertown finally broke through in the 93rd minute. In a game with few mistakes on either side of the field, the Indians finally forced one.
"I just tracked down the left back and tried to put some pressure on him," explained Watertown forward George Gakidis.
St. Paul's John Flowers tried to turn and clear the ball up the left touchline, but Gakidis blocked the pass and chased the ball into the corner.
"I saw Mike (Ricci) streaking down the middle and I tried passing to him."
The pass connected, and Ricci ripped it to the far post.
"The coach was telling us all game that we've got to get numbers in the box," Ricci said. "George played a beautiful ball in. (Federowicz) is probably the best keeper we're going to see all year, and we finally got around him. I was looking back post, for sure."
Three minutes later, Calabrese added an insurance goal. With a stingy defense playing superbly in front of him, David Hughes made six saves to secure the clean sheet and an important win for Watertown to stay atop the NVL's Brass Division.
Ricci said the Indians make a statement every time they play.
"It shows that no matter what we are not going to give up," he said. "In the beginning of the year, with a new coach, we were counted out. But we haven't let down. And St. Paul, not playing one senior, they will be a great team moving forward."
I'd say these are two very good teams, with something to prove — right here, right now.

18 Stylish Ways to Get Snowed-in This Winter
Clothes, booze, games, and the warmest slippers of the season this is how you enjoy yourself (and her) when there's nowhere to go but inside
By Josh Peskowitz
The Return to Comfort
Normally we don't encourage the wearing of sweatpants, but when the weather outside is frightful, well, then all bets are off. But if you're going to go knit, make them as classy as possible. As in, fashionable and functional, maybe with some fleece pants, definitely with some rich color, and probably some detailing. They're nice enough to tempt you to take 'em outside the confines of your blizzard fort. Do not give in to temptation.

Groupon groupies say they gotta save
|Kate Adams studies the menu at M Restaurant, where she'll use a LivingSocial coupon (on the table). She's bought about 150 Groupons since signing up last year. (Michael Wirtz/Philadelphia Inquirer/MCT)
Part of Polly Chung's morning routine, while sipping her coffee, is to peruse the 100 or so daily e-mail alerts that stream into her inbox each night.
They come from Groupon, LivingSocial and dozens of other deal-a-day websites offering hefty discounts at nearby businesses that bank on a consumer's compulsion to seize a good deal before time runs out.
More often than not, Chung, a middle-aged New Yorker, buys something — two-for-one movie tickets or maybe a visit to the acupuncturist — and adds it to a spreadsheet she created to track the hundreds of deals she's purchased.
"I'm a Groupon-aholic," says Chung, happily. "It would be a rare day that I don't buy something, because there are so many great deals to be had! I'm literally into April 2012 with my Groupons."
The avalanche of deal-a-day websites has created an army of addicts who can't seem to resist the lure of a discount. With typical offers of goods and services marked down 50 percent or more and the economy taking a toll on people's leisure budgets, millions have caught the digital discount fever. Groupon users alone total 83 million worldwide.
"We want Groupon to be an addiction you can feel good about," the company website reads.
Kate Adams of Philadelphia runs with the addiction. Having purchased about 150 Groupons since she signed up in early 2010 — an inexpensive way to try new restaurants — Adams eats out a few times each week. "My friends make fun of me," she says. "But they benefit from it."
Consider Groupon-aholics the online cousins of Sam's Club or BJ's devotees — people who go weak in the knees for a reduced-price 18-pack of Grey Poupon. They may not need the products, but how can they pass up such a deal?
"It's a progressive disease," says Chung, who recently imposed an embargo on buying haircuts and massages.
Yet with that kind of enthusiasm often comes a backlog of deals. It's not uncommon for Chung to encounter scheduling conflicts — say, double-booking a massage and a reflexology appointment for the same afternoon — and it can be challenging to use her discounts before they expire, which often happens months after the purchase date. In fact, between 10 and 20 percent of all discounts purchased from Groupon go unused, the company says.
Luckily for impulsive purchasers, a handful of websites are cropping up creating a digital flea market where people can post and sell their discount vouchers. While you always have the option of selling unwanted coupons on Craigslist or eBay, the new sites offer patrons refund guarantees if there's a hiccup with the transaction, and showcase the deals in a format similar to Groupon's.
Here's how it works. You were a little too ambitious when purchasing that Groupon for 6 a.m. Tae Bo classes, and now you're stuck with a $50 voucher you'll never redeem. You post the discount on Lifesta — or PonShoppe or CoupRecoup or a bevy of others — at whatever price you want, and someone else buys it. The transaction is instant; the voucher, which maintains the same expiration date, is active immediately.
The buy-back sites get a small cut of the purchase price, you get some money back, and schlepping to the gym before sunrise is someone else's problem.
"We kind of let them undo some of their mistakes," says Gary Chiu, cofounder and CEO of PonShoppe, a discount resale site based in Chicago that launched in May.
Chung loves it — she was able to unload a pack of massage treatments that were weighing on her conscience, and avoid a bad case of buyer's remorse.
But what does this mean for the entrepreneurs offering the discounts? The small businesses that hook up with deal-a-day websites sometimes have to contend with the prospect of losing money — but it's a small price to pay for a large influx of new customers brought when a deal is activated. (A set number of people must buy each deal offered in order for the discount to become official. That means that if only 10 people sign up and the business has designated that it needs 15, the deal will be dropped.)
That careful balance between costs and benefits could be jeopardized by buy-back sites, says John Zhang, a professor of marketing at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. The new sites challenge the deal-a-day model — and potentially discourage businesses from taking part — because they allow people who normally would be willing to pay full price to benefit without taking any risk.
"People who don't want to deal with the uncertainty of whether or not a Groupon will come through can now get them easier and faster, which destroys the purpose" for participating businesses, Zhang says. "If you look at the whole situation, you can make the prediction that in the future, there will be pressure from the merchants to eliminate the secondary market."
Groupon spokeswoman Julie Mossler says the emergence of the new sites doesn't threaten the company, which has facilitated deals for more than 55,000 businesses worldwide. "It doesn't erode our profits," she says. "But we can't stand behind any Groupons purchased on those sites because there are a million different ways that fraud can happen on those sites."
Some businesses have already taken steps — legitimate or not — to circumvent Groupon onslaughts. For example, earlier this summer, Chung walked to an established Brooklyn restaurant, voucher in hand, for a discounted dinner. The sign on the door said it was temporarily closed.
"I called them and the guy said 'The Groupon is putting me out of business,' but he was laughing. Then he said he was going to open up again in about a month, after the coupon expires," Chung says.
Had Groupon not refunded Chung for that voucher, she could have tried to resell it online. But that poses another problem: discount scalping.
Winnie Ng, a self-described recovering Groupon-aholic from Chicago, sometimes finds herself in a jam.
Ng recently bought a dance class package valued at $120 from Groupon for $60. It turns out her husband isn't sold on the idea, so Ng intends to resell the package on PonShoppe for more than she paid.
"I'd feel like I got ripped off if I was selling it for less than the value I bought it for," Ng said. "Plus, that person (who buys it) is still getting a deal."
When she realizes that a bunch of Groupons are about to expire, she tries a different tactic. She'll either trade them with her friends or, failing that, rush out after work to catch the deal in the final moments. "Life can be stressful in those weeks," she says.

Morgan's Canalbyeclare©
"Annie?" my chest was still heaving.
"Yes?" hers too.
"Do you realize where we are?" I asked.
She sat up brushing her runny nose with the back of her left hand. I brushed the twigs, pebbles and dirt off of her back, still holding her hand. There were twigs and bit of grass in her hair.
Before she could answer I said, "This rock is the exact spot where you drew me. We played show me exactly here."
Her head spun around, "You're right. It is!"
We lay back down in each other's arms for a moment and then she said, "Tommy, I have no words to express how I feel right now."
"Yeah, that too," she chuckled. Her puss was oozing.
We lay there on the bank, our feet dangling over the edge, kissing softly and saying thank you to each other for what seemed an eternity. I could see that she had shed a silent tear or two.
It dawned on me that in my entire adult life, I had never had such joy in my heart than at that moment.
What a bizarre twist of fate to find Annie again I thought, as we stared up into the sky. It's funny how the sullen wings of fortune beat like rain. The obvious is hidden, with nothing to believe in. With Annie I couldn't figure out if it's the end or beginning. Yet, there we were, back at that flat rock, for good or ill again.
For good or ill again.
Eventually the little pebbles and twigs digging into our bodies got the better of us. It was time to get back into the canoe and continue on, although both of us never wanted the moment to end.
I stood up and as I handed her my t-shirt to clean-up she asked, "Do you mind if I get dressed again?"
"No not at all," I said as she cleaned herself up with my shirt.
I spotted a bullfrog on the other side of the flat rock. It was facing me, eyes blinking. In one smooth, silent move I dove down, one hand on the flat rock, the other reaching for the frog. I caught him by the legs as he tried to jump sideways. I was a kid again. Annie was oblivious to the whole thing as she had her back to me trying to put her panties on.
Standing up, with the bullfrog in my hand behind my back I said, "Annie, I've something for you."
She swung around with a questioning look in her eye.
"A frog!" I held it out like an ice cream cone right in front of her face.
"Ahhhh!" she screamed as she dashed off into the water with her panties around her knees.
I chased after her into the water.

Great story but I don't like cheaters.
I rated this at five stars simply because it was written expertly and it had a nice flow. However, I am adamant when it comes to cheaters. Betrayal is not fun for the one being betrayed and cheating ismore...by Anonymous12/26/13

I found a foundation that suits me perfectly!
OMG, I am so happy to share this with all of you.
I can consider this one of my current favorite foundation.
This is the ESTĒE LAUDER Double Wear Stay-in-Place foundation.
The name says it all!
It's a liquid foundation that suits OILY to COMBINATION skin.
It has SPF 10 which is a plus point because it will protect you from the sun.
1 down side about this foundation is that, they doesn't come with a pump.
You have to use the back of your hands to get the products out.
I wish they come with a pump, it'll be easier and less messy!
How I apply it?
I used my BEAUTY BLENDER sponger.
What's the coverage like?
It's MEDIUM TO FULL COVERAGE!
Awesome coverage!

What's the coverage like?
It's MEDIUM TO FULL COVERAGE!
Awesome coverage!
Seriously, I wore this foundation from 9:30am - 10pm(about 12 hours) and it stays all day without any touch up needed.
As for someone like me who have oily t-zone, I use ONLY POWDER PUFF to blot my oil.
Yup, no powder at all!
I realized that when I blot my oil with powder puff, it doesn't move the foundation compared to blotting papers.
I can't stop talking about how much I'm in love with this foundations.
It could be very pricey but it's worth every cents!
You should give it a try too.
Ask for a sample if you're contemplating on purchasing it.
Price: $58
I'm in shade 3W1 TAWNY.
Do drop by to any Estēe Lauder makeup counter.
Thank You for taking your time to read reviews!

For security reasons, the congressional delegation led by House Minority
Leader John Boehner to Iraq today was supposed to be secret. Everything
had been going fine in that regard. Even media outlets that knew of the
trip, like the Congressional Quarterly, kept a lid on the news.
That was, until Representative Peter Hoekstra Twittered his arrival into
Baghdad. "Just landed in Baghdad. I believe it may be first time I've
had bb service in Iraq. 11 th trip here," he sent from his Blackberry.
I don't know if Rep. Hoekstra broke any laws by revealing the trip, but
the political blogs are fond of pointing out that such a security lapse
is surprising for the Ranking Member of the House Intelligence
Also news: Apparently, you can now get BlackBerry data service in
Baghdad. Although I doubt anyone will be surprised if that service is
taken offline for a bit after this gaffe.

If you have multiple external IPs (you're lucky) then it should be easy to do properly. You also need multiple IPs on the internal box (which everyone can do). Create additional non conflicting IPs on your server and tell ISPConfig about it. When setting up the 2nd/3rd etc server needing SSL configure it to use a new IP. At the router you would port forward each external IP to the approriate internal IP so that it points to the correct SSL server.
You can simulate the same behaviour by using different port numbers from the outside that forward to standard port 443 on the inside but go to one of the unique internal IPs. Having unique external IPs is best if you have them.

The Top Looks From New York Fashion Week

New York was all about fur, shearling, and relaxed evening.
The English menswear designer has a penchant for military coats, cashmere, and a well-tailored suit.
These are just a few items you'll see in our details slideshows.
"How can you be so mean about so many collections? Aren't you guilty of a whole lot of crimes of fashion yourself?"
Looks like we've got a serious star on our hands.
It's like everything we've ever known is a lie.
Plus, more designers are selling their collections immediately post-show.
Also, Mary J. Blige and Catherine Malandrino are making T-shirts together.
First we hear that our favorite cast member is out after this season, and now we hear that our favorite cast members to hate may be out, too!
They're more relaxed and sporty than the uniforms for the Beijing games.
'Vogue' has claimed not to negotiate on rates in the past.
And Yves Saint Laurent's house in Morocco is up for sale.
The former Ralph Lauren window dresser discusses his new home-design shop in the East Village.
Women in this country are fighting for action as well.
The luxury conglomerate is reportedly looking to shed its less glamorous brands to scoop up a few mid-market ones.
And the United States Polo Association wants the right to use a logo that is trademarked by Polo Ralph Lauren.
Denim is studded, chained, and lined with lace this spring.
Also, British 'Vogue' lets Lara Stone have visible eyebrows.
She feels that the fashion industry was unfairly targeted in the Ralph Lauren Photoshop debacle that emerged last week.

You Won't Catch Jeff Mauro Eating This Foodby Sarah De Heer in Food Network Chef, January 25th, 2013
We recently caught up with Jeff and asked him about the recent baskets featured on the second episode of Chopped Champions. Just like with Justin, Melissa and Sunny, everyone has ideas about what they would do if they were given the baskets themselves. But what if you were faced with an ingredient that you detested in one of the baskets? That's what Jeff would have encountered in the dessert round when the basket consisted of Mitmita, Sauternes, cottage cheese and cream-filled snack cakes. So which ingredient keeps Jeff 10 feet away?
"Cottage cheese holds the number one place on my personal no-no list. I've never consumed it and never will. My brother Frank loves the stuff and he used to chase me around the house with a near-empty bowl of it. Just the sight of those few remaining curds in the bowl would send me screaming into the bathroom, where I would frantically lock myself in."
So what would Jeff do if he were given this specific Chopped basket? "Needless to say, I would throw in the towel on this one!"
Now it's your turn: What's the one food you won't touch? Do you share Jeff's feelings about cottage cheese? Share your answer in the comment section below.

CILANTRO. Nasty! Why do so many people like this abhorrent herb??
Different people literally taste it differently. Half the population (such as myself) just taste fresh, almost citrus-y greens. The other half, from what I've been told, taste soap. I feel such pity for people with the soapy-version taste buds, because cilantro is a MUST condiment on any Bánh mì or taco. SOOO delicious!
organ meat especially TRIPE
beets, can't stand the smell of them! I gag at the thought, I worked at a restaurant that pickled them, I couldn't be in the kitchen when they were cooking them! YUCK X's 100
I too am not a fan of beets, but my husband loves them so I give in occasionally
and fix them for him!
Squid is so ugly, I can't believe anyone would put that in their body!
But it is soooo good! Just close your eyes one time and try it! Yum!!
anything organ or genital, even with a fancy name
sea cucumber, it's just so slimy and gelatinous, it's gross. I'm willing to look at it if I get paid enugh money but that wuld be it
I am shocked that so many wonderful foods are named on here. I agree that I don't want to eat licorice.. eww! But almost everything else listed is either fantastic or at the least very edible.
Seafood, liver, goat, lamb (really good), venison (all the time), Alfalfa sprouts, mushrooms…..yummy!
I will at least try a bite of something new and then decide! My kids did too. If they really didn't like it they were not made to eat it. But they did have to re-try it every so often. Tastes do change over time.
Beets I just cant stand beets! oh yea no Wild Game of course (deer, possum, beaver ect}.
onto a co-worker who has been doing a little research on this. And he actually bought me breakfast because I stumbled upon it for him…
well, i am catching him now.. but i want to see or catch him in person eating that food.

"My mother used to make hominy," says Mavis Young. "Before she would cook it, she'd go through this very long process: She'd take the dry corn, put them in water with potash or a little lye, then boil them, which would loosen the husk. Then she'd wash them several times to get the lye out, and take the cobs off by hand, and then wash them some more. Today I just buy it in a can."
1. Cook the bacon in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until crisp and browned, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain, leaving the fat in the pan.
2. Add the onion and bell pepper to the pan, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon, hominy, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, and cook to blend the flavors, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
If you like corn, you'll love hominy. This plain-Jane staple of southern cooking gets the "company's coming" treatment with a little bacon, basil, sweet pepper, and onion.

Iomega Pursues SMBs with Low-Cost Storage Products
Iomega Pursues SMBs with Low-Cost Storage Products
Iomega Corp. has announced three storage solutions aimed at increasing the companys lead in the entry-level NAS arena by focusing on simplicity, low cost, automation and data protection.
A new SATA (Serial ATA) drive, an expanded network-attached storage server lineup and a new line of low-cost storage servers all serve to further the San Diego companys standing in the eyes of small and midsize businesses looking to adopt NAS technology.
The new SATA drive, part of Iomegas REV 35GB removable storage products, provides high-speed data transfers with random-access capability.
The result, said Wayne Arvidson, director of professional storage solutions, is a faster, easier and less expensive backup and file recovery system.
And since the REV drive allows organizations to expand storage capacity in 35GB increments, they also can be used as an alternative to external hard drives.
The REV SATA drive is bundled with Iomegas Automatic Backup Pro software for file-level backup and disaster recovery.
To read more about Iomegas REV desktop storage device, click here.
The software allows system administrators to perform live or scheduled system backups within Windows without shutting down or rebooting the system.
Iomega also has added four new models to its NAS 200d line of NAS serversa 320GB drive, a 480GB drive, a 750GB drive and a 320GB drive with a built-in REV 35GB drive for high-performance backup and archiving.
All four models have a Microsoft Windows Print Server Support option for up to five network printers. Support for unlimited network printers is an optional upgrade.
Finally, Iomega announced the NAS 300r series with Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003.
Next Page: Three models geared toward SMBs.
Three models geared toward
The series, designed as a hardened storage vault, comes in three models with capacities ranging from 320GB to 500GB. Because of their lower cost pointstarting at $2,000and easy installation due to a plug-and-play configuration, the storage servers are geared toward small and midsize businesses, Arvidson said.
The NAS 300r Series storage server ships with Iomegas Automatic Backup Pro software.
Each client PC on the network can choose continuous backup or scheduled backup to the 300r Series server, Arvidson said.
With continuous backup, every file the user creates or changes on the client PC is automatically copied to the server as a backup destination, he said.
Other features include hot-swappable drives to enable recovery from disk failure without downtime, Microsoft Exchange database support, point-in-time file recovery and the inclusion of Computer Associates eTrust Antivirus software.
With these announcements, Iomega is clearly positioning itself as the NAS vendor of choice for small and midsize companies, said Brad Nisbet, a program manager in the storage systems practice at IDC of Framingham, Mass.
Click here to read more about updates to Iomegas network-attached storage line.
"They have realized that for SMBs, its not only about sharing files, but about protecting data. Most small organizations dont back up at the PC client level, and thats a real gap for some organizations Iomega is trying to pursue," he said.
Nisbet said Iomega is so successful with the SMB strategy it has employed over the past 18 to 24 months, in fact, that the company might be successful expanding into the consumer and home markets.
"If any company can position itself there, it could be Iomega," he said. "Its focusing on a lot of the same key elements that are important in SMBssimplicity, cost and data protection. Those are the three things that will drive consumer and digital home opportunities."
