It's light, leaves natural lash effect and doesn't clump or stick your lashes together. It doesn't make your lashes really thick or long, still if you are for a really natural look - it might fit you!
This mascara didn't do anything to my lashes! It didn't really curl them at all and even though the brush LOOKS cool, it certainly didn't add any extra "oomph" to my lashes. Won't purchase again.
I tried this mascara about a few months back, and I did not like it. It smudged, and clumped like crazy! My lashes looked horrible, but in the mascaras defense I'm never good with the spiraled brushes. If you are than this might work for you. Other than that there's nothing eles I want to say about this product.
I love this mascara! it has a twisted brush. I'm not sure if that makes much of a difference but I just think it's interesting :P it isn't extremely thickening but it's very lengthening. I use just one coat of the Black mascara on my top lashes and it looks lovely! I'd buy it again but it appears to have been discontinued.

I LOVE this mascara. I usually buy all my mascara from Avon, as they always have sales (any 2 for $8 which saves me a lot of money!). I fell in love with this mascara in black, but it doesn't last long. The tube is probably one of the smallest of their mascaras and it lasted me about 2 months (I don't use mascara everyday so I'm sure it would last even less for someone who uses daily).
This is the one mascara that HOLDS A CURL FOR HOURS that I've found I liked.
But they don't sell it anymore :( so I'm off to try their three new formulas!
I got this in Black.I really like the formula. the wand seemed a little funky at first and didnt seem to coat my lashes very well, but after using it a few more times, I really do like the wand and especially the formula. it has great lasting ability and does not clump or smudge at all!
I would totally get this again, maybe try it in Brown.
This is one of my favorite mascaras. I haven't found one that's a 5, but this mascara works pretty well for me. I don't care much for the brush; I use this mascara like I would any other. What I like about it is the formula. It's not goopy like other mascaras which can weigh your lashes down and make them stick together and look unatural.
I bought this after somebody recommended it, and I'm glad I did buy it!
The formula is just awesome -rich and creamy, and it makes my lashes look gorgeous -and no clumps!
Definitely one of my favourites
Only down side is that it doesn't give quite enough the dramatic effect

Vision health professionals at UT Southwestern are treating a growing number of people who work all day at computers and are experiencing eye fatigue because of it. The malady is known as computer vision syndrome (CVS), which the American Optometric Association describes as a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer use.
Fortunately, to combat the problem there is a health care strategy called 20/20/20: Every 20 minutes, the computer user should take a break for at least 20 seconds and look at objects that are 20 feet away. UT Southwestern's Edward Mendelson, O.D., a Faculty Associate in the Department of Ophthalmology, recommends adding another 20 to the mix. "Give yourself 20 good blinks," he says. "Blinking is nature's way of keeping the eyes moist, and those blinks help to lubricate and refresh." Most of us don't blink as often when working at a computer, he says, and in a dry environment tears evaporate more than normal.

From florescent pink to navy to nude, click through to shop the most standout lipstick shades from Kat Von D's fall makeup collection for Sephora.
There's a reason why Kat Von D's makeup line continues to be one of Sephora's top-selling brands, and it's not simply because of her name. The products are innovative, the packaging is cool and the quality is amazing.
Her fall collection is definitely one to get excited about, especially if you like lipstick. The line boasts 30 creme brûlée-scented shades ranging from nude to fluorescent pink to deep berry to black. The assortment is Sephora's most comprehensive ever.
At a recent party for the collection's launch, we chatted with the tattoo artist about the products' updated look, her take on Photoshop and more! Read on below and click through above to shop our favorite lipsticks from the fall line.
Lucky: You changed the design of your packaging from baroque to punk for this collection. What inspired the new look?
Kat Von D: I was inspired by my first experience with makeup. I was 14 years old and I had a cassette tape of Siouxsie and the Banshees. She had crazy black hair and crazy egyptian eyes…she was this fearless hero and she didn't even see herself as a sex symbol. I thought, I want to be like that. The defining feature aesthetically from that era of my life was studs. For the lipstick design, I wanted take a different, romantic and dark approach to studs...like if Tim Burton designed a candy.
What was the first lipstick you ever bought?
Wet n' Wild 508. I saved up 99 cents to buy it at Rite Aid. I was a punk rocker and my sister was a chola and that was the only piece of makeup we could actually share. It was so waxy, I had to take a lighter to it to give it more pigment. When I started my lipstick line, I thought, 'How do I make 508 but actually good?' So that's how my lipstick Homegirl came to be and it's my favorite lipstick to this day.
Your makeup always looks so perfect. What's the most important step in your routine?
Priming is everything. It's one of the most overlooked processes. It makes a huge difference for long wear and all of my eyeshadows seem to be truer to the pigment when I prime first.
There's been a lot of controversy lately about over-Photoshopping. What do you think of the issue?
I hate it when they over-Photoshop me. I know how crooked my face is but I like it that way! I think we got so oversatured with this lack of human connection that people are hungry to be able to relate and connect again. I think that's why when a celebrity posts a picture without makeup, it's like, 'How refreshing!' I like myself without makeup, wearing makeup to me is just for fun.

Salt River Bay National Historic Park and Ecological Preserve
Salt River Bay is a living museum on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Prehistoric and colonial-era archeological sites and ruins are found in a dynamic, tropical ecosystem that supports threatened and endangered species.Salt River Bay's natural history, its vitally important ecosystem of mangroves, estuary, coral reefs, and submarine canyon, has witnessed thousands of years of human endeavor. Every major period of human habitation in the Virgin Islands is represented: several South American Indian cultures, the 1493 encounter with Columbus, Spanish extermination of the Caribs, attempts at colonization by a succession of European nations, and enslaved West Africans and their descendants. More than a dozen major archeological investigations since 1880, together with historical research, reveal a remarkable story.

Re:Oh Larry, Way to Blow (397 comments)
Sorry, it's "intext:" not "insite:". I pretty much never use it, so it's hard to remember.
Re:Oh Larry, Way to Blow (397 comments)
Yes. Just because the person asking the question calls it a boolean operator does not mean it really is a boolean operator. The closest thing to a boolean operators he "-" which means "and not". That's probably why a lot of people assume that "+" did the opposite, meaning "and", but it never did. To force a word to appear on the result page, use the "intext:" operator.
Re:Oh Larry, Way to Blow (397 comments)
Possibly because sites that link to this result use your search term in their link text or the result has it in its meta tags or something like that. If you want to make absolutely sure a term really appears in the rendered text of the results, try the insite: operator. And no, this is not a recent change either, it has been this way for years.
Re:Oh Larry, Way to Blow (397 comments)
Except "+" was never a "boolean" operator, it always meant "search for this word and not words similar to this word". Exactly the same as putting a word in double quotes. Which is still available. Removing redundant syntax is not the same as removing features.
Re:12m resolution? Pffft. (65 comments)
However, this high resolution would come at the expense of broad coverage, and would be achievable over an area of only a few tens of kilometers square.
You might not believe it, but the earth has a surface of more tens of square kilometres. The site doesn't have any real data on the actual speed of this thing, but it looks like that thing is something completely different (a military spy satellite) and might take dozens of years to cover the whole planets or even longer. If it is even capable of producing a coherent map, this doesn't seem to be in the design specifications.
Re:Already in place in EU (354 comments)
You're mixing "national ID card" and "passport" again. This are very different things.
National IDs are
- required for everyone in most EU countries
- sufficient for travelling inside the Schengen zone
- not regulated by the EU
- required to contain contain fingerprints in some countries but not in others
Passports are:
- not required if you don't want to visit foreign countries (or leave the Schengen zone)
- regulated by a whole bunch of international treaties
- for EU countries, regulated by the EU
- required to contain fingerprints
For the fingerprints in ID cards, blame the national governments, this has nothing to do with the EU. For fingerprints in passports, blame the whoever you like. Blaming the EU is ok too, they did not start the idea, but they weren't too opposed to it either. Or blame the USA, who won't recognize passports without fingerprints any more. Or blame yourself or me for not protesting it when the international treaties were written years ago.
Re:Already in place in EU (354 comments)
What exactly are we talking about here? OP said "id card", I was talking about national ID cards, you seem to be talking about passports. These are very different things, passports are not required for anyone, are for international travels only and are limited by international acceptance. Many countries, like the USA, don't even accept passports that don't contain fingerprints and will require additional papers.
National ID cards on the are required either by everyone or by nobody depending on the country you live in (most EU states require an ID card). The EU may set a few standards for interoperability but does not require any of the possible features (like fingerprints) to be implemented. This is a national issue.
Re:Already in place in EU (354 comments)
- Log url history.
- log phone contact history
- log mail contact history
Yes, but a number (at least 3, might be more) of EU countries have already thrown that out as unconstitutional and are taking the fight back to the EU to get it thrown out on a EU level.
- Obliged to introduce CP filter. Filter can be expanded for other 'illegal' websites.
- Obliged fingerprint scans for id cards.
Uhm, no. The EU does not prevent members from implementing this but it is not required in any way. A lot of EU states don't have this and don't have plans to implement it. If you live in a country where this exists, well that sucks, but don't blame the EU.
- Log banking history.
Well, duh, would be a bad bad world where your bank doesn't have your history on record. They could just change your balance without anyone noticing. At least the treaty to live-stream it to the USA was killed by the EU parliament.
Re:New record on summary mistakes? (197 comments)
The content-delivery services seem to be very cautious about what you can buy from German soil
Don't confuse selling with releasing. Companies refuse to release that stuff in the first place. An easy way around this problem is to just buy UK imports. If you live in a big city there probably is a shop near you that sells this stuff. Otherwise just order it on the internet, either from UK sites like amazon.co.uk/play.com (you'll need a credit card for this) or from German shops that specialize in this stuff, like Okaysoft (you'll need to send them a copy of you ID first, as proof of age). So if you want to buy uncensored games in Germany there are a lot of options and all of them are 100% legal. But the people who release the games on the German market are big companies that try to maximize profits, naturally. Restriction on the age of potential customers is bad for that, therefore they'll cut as much as possible to get the rating as low as possible.
New record on summary mistakes? (197 comments)
This is the country that has banned Wikileaks
Except they didn't. wikileaks.de was disabled because the guy who own this domain (and nothing else related to wikileaks) didn't pay his bills. He was also involved in some fraud so his ISP didn't want to do business with him any more. They informed him 3 or 4 month before killing his account, he just forgot about it.
sought a ban on violent games
Good thing the word sought is there. The conservative hardliners have been talking about it for 20 years now and so far not much has happened. Preemptive censorship by the publishers is far worse.
and voted to censor child porn (only to have the president kill the ban as unconstituitonal).
Except he didn't, he signed this law. It's just that everybody (including half the people who voted for it) hoped he wouldn't because a few month after this law was voted on the pirate party gained 2% in the federal election (5% is the minimum to get seats, which they did get in some regions). The last thing any of the established parties want is yet another party to worry about so internet topics suddenly because important. The ministry of justice has instructed the police to treat this law as the most unimportant one of all (i.e. not enforce it) and the parliament is actively working on replacing it with a law that does not allow filtering. All in all, awesome summary.

I'm about 80% sure you're just trying to be funny but I looked it up anyway: Opera released user javascript with version 8 which was released on April 19, 2005. I have no idea how old Greasemonkey is but version 0.2.5 was released on March 28, 2005. So, no.
Re:What ? (346 comments)
Don't forget user javascript. While it's not a mainstream feature and technically wasn't invented by Firefox but the guy who wrote the Greasemonkey plugin, it's definitely one of the features I don't want to miss with Opera and Firefox had it first. But yeah, "closing the feature gap" is kinda delusional.

Try this with your bind resolver:

Same for "scorecardresearch.com", "zedo.com", "quantserv.com", "quantserve.com", "googleadservices.com", "google-analytics.com", "layer-ads.de" and "doubleclick.net". Disable cookies for the google search engine. That's what I do and I feel relatively save.
Of course all of this is a moot point if you use a Google service that requires a login, like gmail. In this case they can and have read all the mail you've ever received until right now and there's nothing you can do about it. I prefer my own little IMAP server.

Re:What the? (272 comments)
Actually no, the chancellor is elected by the parliament these days, but the parliament at that time was too fractured between too many parties to agree on a chancellor. Therefore Hitler was appointed by the president. Appointing the chancellor in times without a stable parliamentary majority was one of the reserve powers of the president back then. This meant that the parties weren't too motivated to find a stable majority because the government would just continue working with reverse powers. The power to appoint a chancellor without a majority in parliament was one of the powers that was removed with the founding of the Bonn Republic. After he was appointed chancellor, Hitler managed to push a law through parliament that gave him legislative powers by arresting/murdering members of the communist and social democrats (less member of parliament means a larger percentage for his own party) and making some promises to the centre party that he broke days later. As for the Berlin Republic, it's basically the Bonn Republic V1.2. Legally it's the same state, the GDR was dissolved and it's states joined the old FRG. The modifications to the constitution were minimal, they just removed some passages that referred to German territory outside of the German state and that the German reunification was one of the goals of the state.
Re:What the? (272 comments)
To understand why the president is such a weak position in Germany, think of it as a constitutional monarchy. Back in 1918 (that's less than 100 years ago, basically yesterday in terms of history) Germany was a monarchy. Then, when the riots broke out, the guys who would found the Weimar Republic intended to go for a constitutional monarchy, with a weak Kaiser who's just a head of state without any actual powers. But things got out of hand, one thing led to another and suddenly the Kaiser was exiled and they had to do without him. So they created the position of president, more or less a Kaiser, just elected. He had some reverse powers and that's it. But in the Weimar Republic political chaos was the very common and so the reverse powers were used on a daily basis. After the war when the new constitution was written this was identified as one of the factors that caused the previous republic to fail and so they decided that the president should have even less reverse powers. And that's how we got here. Also, the Constitutional Court is a very good check against parliamentary power. The judges there tend to have the most common sense of all courts and because they need a 2/3 majority to get elected there, party politics tend to be kept out of the process.
Re:Bubby? Is that you? (859 comments)
As mentioned, there is no problem with public archives whatsoever. This law is about publication, not stuff that was published a decade ago and is still laying around somewhere. The problem is that an internet website is considered to be a new publication every time someone visits the site. So even if you wrote the names on a website a decade ago and never changed this site, you still published it today, according to the stupid laws that don't know anything about the internet.
Re:Bubby? Is that you? (859 comments)
This is not about public archives. The newspaper archives have do not need to be altered or anything.
The real problem here is that after all these years the German law still has no concept of this thing called "The Internet". According to German courts the internet is something like a newspaper (sometimes a TV show or a mail-order catalogue) that gets published every time someone watches the page. And that is the real problem here, they apply laws that were made decades ago to regulate something completely different to the internet. That is what leads to highly idiotic and often contradictory court decisions. This specific case is just one example of many.
Another far worse example is that some courts (I'm looking at you here, OLG Hamburg) think that someone hosting a forum is responsible for everything posted in this forum, even if you remove it the second someone complains about it. Of course easily offended lawyers know this and will sue you in Hamburg.

During the height of the Great Depression, the General Assembly passed a bill to allow counties to hire what is called in current days a county administrator. Although initially, Chesterfield opted out, leaving the supervisors to deal with the everyday details of running the county's government, such as contracts and hiring employees.
As the Depression slogged on, Herbert Hoover left office and FDR took control then solved the problem of the Depression. As the Great Depression waned, Chesterfield voters were faced with a referendum and in 1937 voted 1109 to 54 to adopt what was called the Hobson enabling act allowing for a county executive secretary, now called county administrator. On July 1, 1938 that office was filled for the first time by William S. Coburn of Chester. Coburn was followed by W.H. Caldwell of Colonial Heights until four years later on June 1, 1946 M.H. "Mel" Burnett was hired by the Board of Supervisors. Burnett is still remembered by many Chesterfieldians and served for at least 30 years until his retirement. He was followed by a number of short term county administrators until Lane Ramsey took the reins of the management side of Chesterfield's government. Ramsey learned the workings of the job at the knee of Burnett before being hired. Our current county administrator, James J. L. Stegmaier also learned his job at the knee of his predecessor.

KABUL | Tue Sep 20, 2011 4:48pm EDT
(Reuters) - A Taliban suicide bomber on Tuesday killed former Afghan
President Burhanuddin Rabbani and head of a council tasked with trying to
negotiate a political end to the war, in what analysts called a blow to
peace efforts.
The killing underscored doubts over the ability of fledgling Afghan
security forces to protect even the most prominent politicians as U.S.-led
forces ready to pull out by 2014.
"A Taliban member who went to Rabbani's house (in the heavily guarded
diplomatic enclave) for peace talks detonated a bomb hidden in his
turban," a statement by the Kabul police chief's office said.
President Barack Obama called the killing of Rabbani, head of
Afghanistan's High Peace Council, a tragic loss but said work needed to
continue to bring elements of Afghan society together to end the years of
A police source said Masoom Stanekzai, a senior adviser to President Hamid
Karzai, was badly injured in the attack.
It was the highest profile assassination in Afghanistan since the younger
half-brother of President Hamid Karzai, Ahmad Wali Karzai, was killed at
his home in July by a highly trusted family security guard.
It also came just a week after a deadly 20-hour siege by militants in the
fortified capital, which illustrated the strength of the Taliban after
nearly a decade of war.
"The killing of Rabbani is a serious blow against President Karzai and the
government's peace and reconciliations efforts. It also underscores the
inability of the government to protect even the most prominent Afghan
politicians," one diplomat said.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility, saying that
the killer had gone to Rabbani's home for talks.
"As soon as Rabbani came three steps forward to hug Mohammad Masoom, he
triggered his explosive-filled jacket killing Rabbani, (another) Taliban
militant Wahid Yar and four security guards present at the house," he told
Commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan,
General John R. Allen, called the killing "another outrageous indicator
that, regardless of what Taliban leadership outside the country say, they
do not want peace, but rather war."
President Karzai, at the start of talks with Obama on the sidelines of the
U.N. General Assembly, said Rabbani's death "will not deter us" from
continuing the quest for peace.
Karzai, meeting Obama for the first time since the U.S. president
announced a troop drawdown plan earlier this year, planned to cut short
his New York visit to return home.
"It is a tragic loss," Obama said with Karzai at his side. "We both
believe that despite this incident, we will not be deterred from creating
a path whereby Afghans can live in freedom, safety and security and
"It is going to be important to continue the efforts to bring all of the
elements in Afghanistan society together to end the senseless cycle of
violence," he said.
Rabbani, a former leader of a powerful mujahideen party during the Soviet
occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, was chosen last October by Karzai
to head the High Peace Council.
His plan included offering amnesty and jobs to Taliban foot soldiers and
asylum in third countries to leaders.
The assassination comes after a series of suicide bombings and other major
attacks believed to be the work of the Haqqani network, a Taliban-allied
insurgent faction based along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
One analyst said the peace council had not been seen as effective and that
Rabbani himself was viewed by many as an impediment to a deal because he
was so loathed by the Taliban.
"But, his assassination might mean that the networks Rabbani led or
influenced within Afghanistan .... may resist a deal with the Taliban even
more," said Caroline Wadhams, a security expert at the Center for American
Progress in Washington.
"It could make it that much more difficult to get greater buy-in from key
Afghan leaders, who have been deeply skeptical of talks with the Taliban
for some time."
Vali Nasr, a former senior official in the State Department's
Afghanistan/Pakistan office, said: "The Taliban wants to send a very
powerful message that the Karzai government is not in charge."
"That is important because people begin to waver and shift their
allegiances ... And it makes it very difficult to say the Taliban is
serious about negotiations if they keep killing people they should be
negotiating with," Nasr said.
Rabbani served as president in the 1990s when mujahideen factions waged
war for control of the country after the Soviet withdrawal.
As a leading figure among Tajiks, the second largest ethnic group in
Afghanistan, there were also concerns his death could worsen ethnic
The assassination comes a week after a 20-hour gun and grenade attack on
Kabul's diplomatic enclave by insurgents, and three suicide bomb attacks
on other parts of the city -- together the longest-lasting and most
wide-ranging assault on the city.
Last week's siege was the third major attack on the Afghan capital since
All three of those attacks are believed to be the work of the Haqqani
network, a Taliban-allied insurgent faction, based along the
Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

"Very easy and tasty. I did double the sauce because we love lots of sauce and used fresh ginger; otherwise followed everything as-is and it turned out fabulous.

Optimizing Teleconference Audio System Designs
Have you designed a large system for video or audio teleconferencing that looked straightforward and simple on paper, but turned out to be a configuration nightmare after it was wired up? Or perhaps you've even had to re-design the entire system to make it work properly? If you answered yes to either of these questions, help is on the way.
Have you designed a large system for video or audio teleconferencing that looked straightforward and simple on paper, but turned out to be a configuration nightmare after it was wired up? Or perhaps you've even had to re-design the entire system to make it work properly? If you answered yes to either of these questions, help is on the way.
By using these basic connection and process flow ideas, you can simplify general routing requirements in the room, make it easier to manage echo cancellation references, and get the best system echo cancellation performance when using dynamic feedback controllers in a conferencing environment. The following five design tips will help you optimize multi-unit audio DSP systems for video and audio teleconferencing applications using the internal audio data bus more efficiently.
Tip #1: Simplify echo cancellation reference management by connecting all far-end audio sources and local program audio to the same physical DSP unit.Echo cancellation, the enabling technology for teleconferencing, is simply the process of preventing unwanted audio from passing through a microphone channel to the far end. For example, we want audio from talkers in the local room to pass to the far end, but we don't want that same audio coming from the far end to return to the far end because that's the "echo" we want to cancel. We also don't usually want local program audio to pass to the far end through an open microphone channel. Instead, it should be routed directly from the source to the far end.
To achieve echo cancellation, we must create a mix of the audio we don't want to pass to the far end. We call this the "reference mix" because echo cancellers on the microphone channels use it as a reference to create a signal with equal amplitude but opposite phased voltage. This signal is then applied at the right time to audio coming from the microphone to cancel out the audio that was in the reference mix (far end and local media). Audio not in the reference mix (local talkers' audio) is allowed to pass to the far end. (Important note: For best echo cancellation results, audio used in a reference mix should be post-process audio. In other words, the cancellation reference mix should be a sample of the signal being sent to the power amps.)
Fig. 1 illustrates a common audio flow design using multiple linked DSP units. Two specific inefficiencies exist in this design. First, it uses more audio paths than are necessary to create and distribute echo cancellation references. Second, it requires too many audio paths to create the mix-minus audio feeds for the far-end interfaces (telephone interface and video codec) and to route received far-end audio and transmitted local audio. These inefficiencies can lead to integration problems because audio paths are a finite resource. When used up, they require additional external wiring to make the system work properly.
Fig. 1 shows a system layout that is not optimized for cancellation reference management purposes because, again, it uses up unnecessary audio paths — a finite resource — to get all the needed cancellation reference sources together. In this design, audio from the telephone interface is connected to a different DSP box than the audio from the video codec, while program audio (non-speech audio sources that are also heard in the same room, such as a CD, VCR, TV, or DVD) is connected to a third DSP box.
If we choose to create the reference mix on the DSP box connected to the telephone interface, and if we choose to keep all audio separated, we tie up four busses just to move the codec L and R audio and the program L and R audio to the DSP with the telephone interface. Then we need to use another bus to pass the reference mix among the linked DSP units. We've now tied up five busses to create and distribute the reference mix. There's got to be a better way, right?
By doing a simple rearrangement of the physical connections, we can easily create a correct reference mix using only one bus instead of five.
Fig. 2 shows an audio flow design that is optimized for echo cancellation purposes. The far-end audio devices (telephone interface and video codec) and the local program audio are connected to the same physical DSP unit. This allows the reference mix to be created in that DSP unit. The reference mix is then placed on a single bus for distribution to all other linked DSP units.
Tip #2: Simplify management of audio feeds to the far end by connecting audio inputs and outputs of video codecs and telephone interfaces to the same DSP unit.We can simplify feeds to far-end devices and external program switchers by arranging physical connections as illustrated in Fig. 3 on page 46. We don't have to jump onto any of the linked DSP units' busses to move local program audio to the far end or to create our mix-minus for the telephone interface/video codec cross-feeds. These can all be done on the DSP unit connected to these devices, without using linked audio busses.

Welcome to New Releases Tuesday on WERS. Every Tuesday we'll take a look around the music scene and bring you updates on, you guessed it, the new albums coming out this week.
Divine Fits, A Thing Called Divine Fits – Spoon's Britt Daniel and Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner are a supergroup made in indie heaven. They're both known for writing spiky, unexpected songs that, after one or two listens, stay in your head for weeks. Their style is uneven from time to time, but no song seems to imitate the individuals' main projects. Their collaboration is something like a really good cup of espresso: the buzz hits hard and stays with you, but there's also layer after layer of flavor.
Bloc Party, Four – They took the indie world by storm with their 2005 debut Silent Alarm but after a serious sophomore album slump, Bloc Party are back and better than ever. They ditch the electronica of their last album in favor of barely-controlled art punk fury. This is an apocalyptic album, and a welcome return of the Bloc Party we knew and loved.
Yeasayer, Fragrant World – At first listen, Yeasayer seems like the kind of band that takes effort to love. The first impression is of sharp edges: very intricate synths, unexpected combinations of noises, and over everything, a voice so shrouded in special effects that it barely sounds human. They're not trying to sound likeable. At the same time, Yeasayer is one of the catchiest pop bands around. Here, they skew a little toward the R&B side of melody, and it's their smoothest album yet, but there are no real standout sing-alongs (see: O.N.E., Ambling Alp). Or maybe I just need to give it a couple more listens.

How to Weigh the Pros and Cons of Multiple Medical Coding Certifications
You may be wondering, since medical coding certification offers so many benefits, whether you can compound your advantages by having more than one certification. Very possibly. But before you begin signing up for every certification possible, consider the pros and cons of having multiple certifications:
Potentially higher salary: Theoretically, the more certification levels you achieve, the higher the salary you can expect. In reality, experience plus certification improves your marketability tenfold. In other words, don't go certification crazy without earning some real-world experience to go along with all of those acronyms.
More access to networking opportunities: Multiple memberships mean increased network opportunity. If you attend local chapter meetings and become an involved member, when a job becomes available, someone with influence may suggest you or serve as a reference.
Increasing costs to achieve multiple certifications: One big disadvantage of multiple certifications is cost. The initial cost of taking the test(s) can be a drain on your personal finances. In addition, each certification requires a certain number of continuing education units (CEUs) within your chosen specialty.
Higher membership dues: The other disadvantage is the cost of membership. Some employers may reimburse your dues or other costs, but don't count on it, especially in the beginning.

When I moved out with my boyfriend of 2 years in June 07, I had never cooked anything from scratch before. Every meal I had made had come from a box or pre-frozen bag. Desperate for new meal ideas, I stumbled upon recipezaar, and fell in love. This website has helped inspire many creative dinners, and I plan to begin sharing them with the world soon enough. My favorite cookbook has to be the one my mother passed down to me, the classic "Betty Crocker Cookbook".
Porcupine meatballs, home made pierogies, meat loaf, chicken souvlaki, chicken stuffed with cream cheese and pesto, and any pasta with home made alfredo sauce.
From my first year making it, my peanut brittle became the most highly anticipated treat at Christmas time.

- Posted by catfishsam (My Page) on Mon, Aug 7, 06 at 15:43
Just put some gravel in a pot and push the mint down in the gravel and put in the pond so the top of the pot is a inch or so under water. The mint will root very quickly. Be careful if you plant it by the pond since it will spread and become a pest. |

Sorry about my posting since I thought I was on the pond forum. Just put the mint in some water and it will root quickly. Make sure that it is not planted where it will become weedy. |

plant the mint in the ground in native soil once rooted.. or you will spend the next decade trying to stop it from invading everything for a 1/4 mile around ... as nice as it is... especially in scotch and water... it is a highly invasive pest ... good luck ken |
Most mint will just about root in a concrete driveway. About the easiest things to root in the entire world and also one of the hardest to control in your garden.. PLEASE!! Plant it in a container. George |

- Posted by desertdance Sunset 13 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 2, 09 at 11:34
I am sure it doesn't matter what part of the plant. The only thing that matters is that you take heed and plant in a container. Make sure the container is not sunk into or on top of soil, or it will reach down from the top and start traveling through the soil. Make sure you have a plant saucer under your container to prevent those roots from spreading. Good luck with your cuttings! |

I agree with geoforce - mint will try and root itself anywhere. I grew two mint plants in pots this year on my concrete deck and was fascinated to see the runners reaching out and trying to root somewhere - anywhere, including the concrete deck. Wicked stuff, I would never plant it in the actual 'ground' if you know what I mean.... The other thing I have read, is if you do use pots, don't let the mint go to seed as those little mutts will end up everywhere - you might as well have planted the mint in the ground. Needless to say, I'm keeping a close eye on mine! |

I've had mint "invade" from haphazardly tossed clippings all over my flower beds. I am in the process of allowing it to "invade" a large banked area with not so great soil where only weeds grow. When I am "de-minting" some areas of my gardens, I take those clumps with good root systems attached and plant them straight into their new location. As long as adequate moisture is available, the transplants thrive. And if you want any free mint to plant, just ask a friend with a plant and they will be more than happy to provide. |
My suggestion..don't ever plant mint in your flowerbeds. I inherited flowerbeds that the original owners of this house had planted and we've lived here 6 yrs. and I'm still having it pop up. Buy it from your grocery store is my suggestion. Like Ken says, it is almost impossible to get rid of it. I don't know about starting mint and growing it in a pot if you can keep it contained in the pot or not. |

The rumours about Beyonce & Jay-Z's visit to the Lenox Hill Hospital have been circulating the internet since the birth of Blue Ivy Carter, however a rep for the hospital, Frank Danza, is clarifying some of them.
First, that the couple payed 1.3 million for the entire floor of the maternity ward:
"Lenox Hill Hospital and its staff were delighted to welcome the Carter family for the birth of their firstborn on Saturday evening, but we are troubled by the misinformation being circulated in some news media reports," Danza said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Monday afternoon. "The suggestion that the couple paid $1.3 million to rent an entire maternity floor is simply not true. The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations. Our executive suites are available for any patient, including the food service and amenities provided to the Carter family."
The other rumour, that the Carter's bodyguards prohibited a man from seeing his new-born twins:
"The family does have its own security detail on site. However, the hospital has been and continues to be in control of managing all security at the facility," Danza said, clarifying the rumour. "We have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days. No security plan that we or the Carter's security team put in place would have prevented or delayed families from gaining access to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and to date, no families have complained to the hospital about being denied access to the NICU."

Repair Install Questions
With various problems I have suddenly been having with Windows 7, I think a Repair Install will help me out. I have read the instructions posted on this website as a guide. A couple of quick questions before I begin that would really help me out.
1. Can I use an 'Upgrade' CD to do the Repair Install. It is the one I originally used and did a Clean install by following other instructions from this website. 2. Does the Registry get effected when using the Repair Install. Should I back it up. 3. How do I determine if the CD's I have include SP1? There is no indication on the CD itself. The Repair Install instructions have 2 different methods depending on whether SP1 exist or not. Thanks for any help you can provide. Jim |

Upgrade and Full installers are the same - it is only the key which determines which version will activate. You will have to reactivate at Computer>Properties afterwards.
You should back up your files but the registry like the rest of the OS is reinstalled so should not be reimported. However settings are reimported during the Repair and this can be a corruption path so the efficacy of a Repair Install is never assured. If you bought Win7 within the past year you will hopefully have SP1 in the installer. If not it will tell you when it checks compatibility. If you report back the exact licensed version from your COA sticker we can link you to the installer w/SP1 ISO to burn to DVD or Write to flash stick - this is important in case it needs to be used for rescue or repairs. |

Just wanted to say thanks for the input. I did Repair Install last night and everything worked as outlined. Cured both of my major problems.
The process took a lot longer than I expected, but I suppose it depends on number of files and programs that it "gathers". I appreciate the help Jim |

BSOD while idle
I am not exactly sure what is going on. Motherboard had to be replaced and been having nothing but problems after getting it back from the people who installed it (and I dont even know if they knew what was going on).
At first I thought it was my raid/sata card (not sure which it is) and disabled that (short of pulling it completely out of the system) and woke up to a blue screen (with hal.dll most likely causing it). Most of the recent blue screens were ntoskrnl.exe with bugcheck 0x109. Now that is being reported by windows as a memory problem but the problem is that I am not sure if it is the ram or if it is just some crap drivers. But recently the errors are now jumping around from ntoskrnl.exe to nvlddmkm.sys to hal.dll so now I am not even sure. System information - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64 - an OEM or full retail version? retail - What is the age of system (hardware)? -motherboard Intel DG43GT -processor Intel Quad Core 2.83GHz (q9950) -memory Crucial (ballistix tracer) x4 (8 gigs total) rated at 800MHz (general info here BL2KIT25664AR80A - 4GB kit (2GBx2), Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMM (with LEDs) , DDR2 PC2-6400 from Crucial.comUS) -video card nVidia GTX 260 Factory overclocked -raid/sata (i have no idea) card (being used as a sata card [but not for long]) SIIG PCI SATA II 150 Non-raid 3 hard drives Whats new (recently replaced within the last 30 days): motherboard raid/sata - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) I think the last time I reinstalled (before finding out the old motherboard had a problem and had to be rma'd) was late November to early December. |

Its hard to believe what started as a food distribution ministry through The Sanctuary Church back in 1997 with two volunteers has grown into a self standing thriving ministry for homeless men, women and children. Since its beginning OSCM has demonstrated its ability to reach out to a segment of our community to meet the needs of individuals who have lost there way through love and patience. Olsd Savannah City Mission is providing hot meals, warm beds, clothing and spiritual guidance on a daily basis through the support of donors like me and others who have seen first hand the results in the men who have entered into the missions life changing faith based program. I encourage other Non-Profits, NGO's, and potential donors to continue to provide support for the OSCM and for the wonderful work being done in the name of our Lord and Savior.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the change in men who have been addicted to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and other addictions, shed the chains that have bound them giving them an opportunity to reunite with family and to reenter into society as a productive God fearing citizens

Palace Hotel Hotel review, history, design, art and photos of the four-star hotel in Rome Added on February 26, 2010 It is sometimes more interesting to stay in the suite of a four-star hotel than to move to a luxury property. Since 2008, the Visconti Palace hotel in Rome offers elegant suites on its seventh floor. I was thrilled by the elegant design by Harry Gregory. The spacious bathrooms turn pale many five-star properties in Rome. I am proud to have suggested the creation of such a luxury floor a few years ago. The result is brilliant and accompanied by a newly created luxury roof top terrace. Article added on January 31, 2006 updated on March 5, 2007 Situated in the Prati residential district of Rome, the four-star Visconti Palace Hotel is within ten walking minutes of the Spanish Steps on one side and St Peter's on the other. Therefore, it is an ideal location for tourists. The most important group of business clients includes lawyers, judges and legal counselors who work at the nearby Palace of Justice (Palazzo della Giustizia). Visconti Palace Hotel opened in July 1974 as a four-star hotel in one of the faceless office building of the times designed by architect Giorgio Carini. Today, it offers 247 rooms, including 13 junior suites. By June 2007, the 7th floor will become a one-bedroom suite floor with a panorama terrace from where you can enjoy the view over Rome, from St Peter's. It will be designed by Harry Gregory in a contemporary and cool style. A new fitness center with the latest TechnoGym equipment has already opened in 2006. The rooms and bath rooms are all designed in the same sober and traditional style with some contemporary edges. In August 2004, the lobby and the other public areas were successfully redesigned by Harry Gregory of ara Design, London (established in 1996 by Andre Avedian and Harry Gregory). The fresher look of the lobby creates a friendly atmosphere, which can be felt throughout the hotel. Gregory's contemporary interpretation of the 1970s is colorful, lively, bright and enriched with artworks by living Italian artists. The art collection embraces works by Paolo Canevari, including a "static performance" entitled Viaggiatori (Travellers) with silhouettes of real people made from the artist's favorite material, the black rubber from car tyres, which readers of the Cosmopolis German edition may remember from Canevari's Rose-Wall artwork at Hotel Capo d'Africa. Other artists whose works are on display at Visconti Palace Hotel include Mariano Rossano, Ascanio Renda, Giancarlo Limoni, Aurelio Bulzatti, Marco Tirelli, Ubaldo Bartolini, Vasco Bendini, Domenico Bianchi, Giuseppe Gallo and Felice Levini. The hotel also sponsors exhibitions, e.g. of the Italian impressionist Zandomeneghi at the Chiostro del Bramante. Visconti Palace Hotel is a partner of Rome's Auditorium and offers packages in collaboration with the jazz venue Alexanderplatz. Therefore, the hotel has already welcomed guests such as the singers and musicians Noa, Giorgia, John Taylor, Roger Waters, Paolo Conte and many more. Another tie-up with the new Globe Theatre in Villa Borghese offers packages suitable for adults and children. Finally, Visconti Palace Hotel is also active in the field of sports, working together with the Virtus basket team. Harry Gregory delineated the conversation areas in the lobby with plush couches and armchairs in vivid colors. Oval cocktail tables in crystal, white Japanese-style lamps and Seventies poufs meet contemporary minimalist flower arrangements. The focal point of the lounge with its Botticino marble floor is the bar in the corner with its curved counter topped with black marble. The adjoining patio with its summer terrace features a roof in the form of a sail, a large spherical fountain, an evocative lightning, a flooring in bright stone and ipé wood from Brasil as well as pleasant greenery. Visconti Palace Hotel does not have a proper restaurant, but guests can chose from a "à la petite carte menu" with a selection of hot and cold plates. Impressive is the large beverage and wine list. WiFi is available throughout the hotel. The television includes Sky TV, important for fans of Italian football. There are special amenities for women and children in the bathrooms by La Bottega dell'Albergo. My deluxe room 204 was spacious, with a small separate sitting area, what would be considered a junior suite in other hotels. Both Visconti Palace Hotel and Hotel Capo d'Africa are owned by Lamaro Appalti SpA, famous Roman constructors and real estate owners.
