EVO 3D owners: want to be able to use the HTC Watch app and have access to The Green Hornet in full 3D, but wary that the system update may not be easily rooted? Well, you aren't alone. XDA user str8upx has extracted the updated HTC Watch .apk from the system update and has made it available to download for anyone who has not yet updated. This will enable users to use HTC Watch to its full ability, including watching the pre-loaded Green Hornet film.
Update: It turns out that this may not be as encompassing as we originally thought. According to Reddit member apantek, only a very limited amount of bloatware can be removed, leaving the bulk of it untouchable (this has been confirmed by our own Jaroslav Stekl). The unremovable files include:
- Facebook for HTC Sense
- Flickr
- Footprints
- HTC Hub
- Peep
- Picasa web albums
- Polaris Office
- Ringtone Trimmer
- Spider-Man
- Sprint Zone
- The Green Hornet 3D
- TrimIt
So, while Sprint may be making steps in the right direction, it's not completely there yet.
So, you're a Sprint Premier customer patiently (or not-so-patiently) waiting for June 24th to get here so you can score your brand new HTC EVO 3D? Well - wait no more, because you can get it right now directly from Sprint for $199 with a two-year agreement. If you're not eligible for upgrade, but you just can't resist the 3D goodness of this handset, then you'll have to muster up the guts to give away 550 big ones to get it in your hands.
If you're planning on picking up an EVO 3D on June 24, you might want to set aside some cash to grab this sleek-looking desktop dock to go with it. The HTC-made accessory is currently listed as "coming soon" on Best Buy's website, so chances are you'll be able to pick one up on launch day.
The dock uses a 5-pin microUSB port for charging that is also MHL adapter-compatible (read more about this snazzy microUSB and microHDMI hybrid here), and despite the plastic construction, looks damn sexy doing it.
Today must be a good day for deals - first the Acer Iconia Tab A500 for $380, and now the Wirefly has the HTC EVO 3D for $150 with a two-year agreement. Considering that this device isn't slated to hit shelves for another two weeks, this is an excellent price (the lowest we've seen yet).
4.3 Inch qHD Super-LCD display
1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor
5MP rear shooter with 3D video and image capture
1.3MP front camera
4GB built-in storage
Android 2.3 with Sense 3.0
To add a bit more awesome to the deal, if you use Sprint's Buyback Program, there's a chance that you could get basically score this upgrade for free.
Between the imminent release of the HTC EVO 3D, the newly announced Photon 4G, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S II, and the pure Google experience of the Samsung Nexus S 4G, we have to ask - which device is next for you? To help you decide, here's a break down of each phone's specs:
- 4.3 Inch qHD Super LCD
- 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor
- 4GB built-in storage
- 5MP 3D Capable rear camera, 1.3MP front camera
- Android 2.3 with Sense 3.0
As the follow up to the super-popular EVO 4G, it not only packs a harder punch under the hood, but also includes some groundbreaking features like Sense 3.0 and the inclusion of both 3D playback and video capture.
Update 6/8/11: If you're set to only order from Amazon for some reason, their EVO 3D pre-order page just went up as well with the same price.
The official launch date and price for the HTC EVO 3D was just announced this morning, but Wirefly already has a pre-order deal of its own going on. Right now, you can ensure that you'll have this device ready and waiting for you on launch day for $180 with a two-year agreement, which is about $20 less then you'll be paying at Sprint.
If you've been eyeballing the HTC EVO 3D in anticipation of a launch date, then you'll be glad to know that we're one step closer to achieving that goal. In a semi-unofficial manner, pre-orders for the 1.2GHz dual core, 4.3 inch beast have started at Radioshack - but don't expect to see anyone shouting from the rooftops to let you know about it. You see, while you can pre-order with a $50 deposit starting today, this is apparently a deal only for the informed crowd (such as yourselves), as it can only be honored if you specifically ask for it.
Something that surprised me at the CTIA conference yesterday was the connector port used in both the HTC EVO 3D and View 4G. Instead of 2 distinct standards, like on the EVO 4G - MicroUSB and MicroHDMI - the new EVO devices have only 1 port that uses the brand new MHL technology (Mobile High-Definition Link). And it is brilliant.
The MHL 1.0 standard, finalized a few months ago, uses a single port to connect both HDMI and MicroUSB, and get this - it is able to charge via HDMI as well.
Sprint is leaking like a sieve this week. Just yesterday a search result revealed the Nexus S 4G shortly before its release and today two registration pages popped up on the Sprint website with images of the yet to be announced HTC EVO 3D and the HTC EVO View 4G Tablet.
These pages don't reveal many details about devices themselves, simply allowing you to register your interest for future notifications.

BrylaneHome Stainless Steel Copper Bottom Cookware Set (STAINLESS STEEL,0) |
Overall Rating:
Retail Price: |
Amazon Price: Click Here to View Sale Price |
There are many advantages in using copper cookware; some being aesthetic and others relating to the actual cooking process. Copper bottom cookware is beautiful, especially when hanging on racks. Many large family kitchens engage in a display of their shiny bottom copper pots. Commercial restaurants also will hang an array of different sized copper bottom pots. In both cases, these pots are hung to add to the decorating beauty of a kitchen, while at the same time adding a feature of convenience.
These factory made pots are made by melting copper onto metal bottoms, making them not only secure and sturdy, but also easily moved. It saves a lot of time to be able to select the size of pot that you desire without searching in a cupboard for that favorite pan. Copper pots sit securely on a stove, making the danger of them tipping minimal. However, if they are warped they can become a hazard. This can occur when this appliance is subjected to extremely high temperatures.

Since copper is an expensive metal, many pots have only a bottom of this metal. This reduces the cost, particularly when copper plates are added to the bottoms of these cheaper metal pots.
Cookware At Amazon
There are a couple of different combinations that are used in relation to copper bottom pots:
Since aluminum is a metal that gets hot very quickly, and does not distribute the heat evenly, the copper bottom of this pot will assist in evenly spreading the heat, so that the cooking process will be a steady one. This way, the food will not be overcooked in one place, while undercooked in another.
Stainless steel is a good metal that is relatively inexpensive, however does not conduct heat well. Since copper is a good conductor of heat, a pan that consists of both materials cooks more efficiently.
Although many people would love to own copper cookware, its high cost is a drawback. So, in reality, when combining a less expensive metal with a copper bottom, the elements of better cooking conditions, more durability, and less weight are feasible factors. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule. Many French cooks prefer total copper cookware, but most other individuals will settle for copper bottoms.
It is important to frequently inspect your copper bottom pots. These pots can be cleaned by mixing vinegar and salt. This will remove the residue and restore the luster and shine to the entire appliance, especially the copper bottom. Store purchased non abrasive cleaners are also effective cleaning agents. One inexpensive cleaner that cleans well is Bar Keeper's Friend . If the metal is worn down to the copper, it can become toxic, and cause hazardous and contaminating conditions to the appliance.
Although copper is a relatively durable metal, it can dent easily, however this does not affect the cooking elements of the pot, just the visual ones.
So, if you want beautiful cookware that is inexpensive, aluminum or stainless steel pans, combined with copper bottoms are the ones for you!

Legislators pass bill to regulate BB guns
August 22, 2012 - By CalWatchdog Staff Aug. 22, 2012 By Katy Grimes "They'll have to pry my BB gun from my cold, dead arms," one commenter wrote on the legislative web page for AB 2333. The bill, by Assemblyman Jose Solorio, D-Anaheim, will require parents to keep BB guns under lock and key safely away from minors, or face a $200 fine and a requirement to perform community service, after receiving written warnings. I am not aware of any recent outbreaks of BB gun assaults on the public. "I can't believe that we are actually bringing a bill like this, about imitation firearms," Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Hesperia, said in floor debate Wednesday. "…to store away from the kids, but they are for kids to use." Solorio replied that because the guns look like real guns, the bill is necessary. And he added that children have even died from BB gun shootings. Solorio's flawed reasoning that BB guns kill, is nearly as absurd as blaming SUVs for killing pedestrians. It's the people using the BB guns that are unsafe when there is an accident. Boys and their toysAs I listened to debate on this bill, it was difficult keeping a straight face. Attempts to ban BB guns and airsoft rifles have been defeated in the past. But AB 2333 passed the Senate and just had amendments approved in the Assembly Wednesday. If this bill finds its way to the governor, California's reputation as a nutty state will be forever sealed. My husband and I have four boys in our family. And each of the four had BB guns, air soft pellet guns, toy handguns, and even rubber band guns. When they were very little, they made guns out of Legos and sticks. Anything that looked like a gun was fair game. They played Army, and loved lugging around plastic M-16s and airsoft rifles while wearing plastic military helmets, pretending to be covert military spies. They were normal. Nonsensical, illogical, nanny state lawsIn California, Democrats want to decriminalize drugs, but ban BB guns. California Democrats have been trying to take away constitutional rights to gun ownership, while they simultaneously unload thousands of criminals from state prisons and jails onto our streets and into our neighborhoods. Yet gun ownership and concealed carry permit applications are up. It seems that the more rights liberals try to take away, the more that Americans dig their heels in, and insist on those rights. Deep pocketsIn 2001, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission filed a lawsuit against Daisy Manufacturing Co., the maker of the famous Red Ryder BB gun, and sought to force Daisy to recall two of its popular BB-gun models. But there was no defect or legitimate safety reason for the lawsuit. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said there had been complaints of "misfirings," and specifically cited a 1999 injury case. Representatives from Daisy said that anyone who has been hurt by the BB gun ignored clear warnings on the packaging, which state that the imitation firearms can be dangerous if improperly used. The famous injury case used against the Daisy Manufacturing Company was greatly misreported. The real complaints about the BB guns weren't that they misfired, but that they actually fired when their users thought they were empty. In 1999, two boys had been playing with a BB gun. They thought it was empty. One of the boys pumped up the rifle, cocked it, pointed it at the other boy's head, and pulled the trigger. A BB lodged in the brain of the other boy, and his parents sued Daisy Manufacturing Company. The air rifle "could not possibly be discharged unless the shooter first pulled a bolt handle to the rear, pushed the bolt handle forward again, pumped the gun to attain necessary air pressure, disengaged the safety and, finally, pulled the trigger," one outdoor writer explained. No one can be shot, accidentally or on purpose, unless a gun is actually pointed at that person, which is in violation of the most elemental firearms safety rule. Instead of a recall, the federal agency ended up agreeing to a settlement with the Daisy company to instead promote safe BB-gun usage; but only after the Daisy company paid $18 million to the parents of the injured boy, who eventually died of the brain injury. There is no word on whether the parents sued the family of the boy who pulled the trigger. Legislators are famous for twisting reality to fit their agendas. Solorio's AB 2333 is a textbook case of manipulating the facts to appease anti-gun activists, and overzealous police representatives. BB guns don't kill or injure kids–irresponsible, careless kids who don't use BB guns correctly are to blame, as are their parents.

MUMBAI: Expect lesser time for any website or file to open on your broadband connection. The Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL), which enjoys highest 5.6 lakh broadband cliental in Mumbai region, has decided to speed up its programme to replace copper cables with those of fibers.
Fiber cable will offer 100 Mbps surfing speed against the existing five to two kbps. The TRAI has made it mandatory in order to offer more bandwidth and more connections across the metropolitan cities.
Peeyush Agrawal, executive director, MTNL said MTNL had set a target of 15000 fiber to home (FTH) connections in South Mumbai within a period of next six months. So far MTNL's out of over 5.6 lakh internet consumers only around 100 have fiber cable connectivity. "This will reduce the latency period while surfing or netting," he said.
Agrawal said the region already had over 2 lakh km of optical fiber cables across major arterial roads but laying access cables from these main cables so as to connect home or office PCs were lacking.
Recently MTNL set up data centres at Belapur and Worli which facilitate speedy and less costly access to international data as compared to international servers based in US or other European countries. This initiative has already increased the surfing and browsing speed in Mumbai during night hours.
He said the MTNL was eying to increase its corporate share in broadband connectivity from existing 10 per cent to over 30 per cent in the region. He said among landlines MTNL has managed to retain its 46 per cent consumers since 1986.

Super Z starter & sputtering
I am having a problem out of my Super Z 27 Kohler which I think is the starter. It just clicks when I try to start it. After several trys of turning on and off, I can get it to work. Is this the starter or something else?
Also, recently while running it starts sputtering or misfiring. I replaced the fuel filter a few months ago. Could this be spark plug or something else? |
It could be a bad ground, your interlock system, the starter, corrosion... The list goes on. Time to break out the Volt meter!
First thing I would check is a proper ground wire and that the starter is getting voltage when you turn the key. If after several attempt it does start that removes any locking up issues. If the wires are clean and good contact i would next check the starter switch. making sure it's sending voltage to the starting system when you turn the key. This could be you troubled area. Electrical issues are nasty, intermediate electrical issue are even worse. As for the sputtering, first things first- Lets get you running. Brian O. |

As we sat there, watching the latest detective solving his latest whodunit on the TV, Cathy and I would often laugh about how it always seemed to be someone out walking their dog who found the body. Cathy would often say that I should always make sure I'd charged my mobile before I took Meg out each morning, because one day I could end up being the dog walker who discovers the body.
Not that Cathy or I had ever really expected to come across a body, not in our sleepy little backwater village.
Here I was, though, standing just off the familiar path where I walked Meg every morning: summer or winter, rain or shine. I was looking down into the trees and at the dead body that lay awkwardly against the base of a tree, its feet almost in the narrow brook, just under where the wooden bridge crossed over it.
I would never get to make that breathless panicked 999 call on my mobile though. One reason was that the police were already here, secondly, and more importantly – to me at least – because that dead body I was staring at was mine.
Faithfully, Meg was sitting by the body, a very young-looking and slightly queasy seeming PC holding her lead. Every now and then, though, Meg would look up to where I was standing in the trees. She would cock her head to one side as if tying to make sense of the fact that she could see me in two places at once.
There were several detectives - I presumed that was what they were – standing around the body. One of them, wearing a long old-fashioned coat and the sort of hat that only appears these days in black-and-white films on TV in the afternoons detached himself from the group and made his way up to me.
I - believing I must be some sort of ghost – expected him to just walk through me, maybe shivering, as his body met my incorporeal form, or something like that.
Instead, he looked up to me.
'So, y'know, how do you feel? About being dead, that is?'
'You can see me?'
He just nodded and seemed to be considering lighting a cigarette, absently patting the pockets of the overcoat.
'But, I thought... well, none of the others are able to see me, except Meg... the dog.'
'Yes, well dogs… they can't exactly see us... but they sense us.'
He nodded again.
'So... you... are....' I shook my head in wonder. 'I thought you were with the police?'
'I am.'
I looked over towards where the detectives, forensic people and so forth were gathered around the body that I still couldn't quite believe was me.
'No, not with them,' he said. 'Although, I used to be. No, I work for the police on this side.'
'This side?'
'Come on,' he said. 'Let's get away from here. I think I may have some explaining to do.'

Fashion isn't just about spring and fall. Pre-collections have increasingly become a force in the industry, with new designers joining the fray every season. Here, a continuously archived collection of all the looks from pre-fall 2009.
AKRIS: Albert Kriemler, who's known for his clean lines and luxurious fabrics, remained true to that aesthetic, but he also created abstract-print blouses and coats with beautiful embroideries.
ALBERTA FERRETTI: She is a romantic at heart, and Alberta Ferretti's lineup of dresses was a nod to silver-screen stars.
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN: Dickensian London is a rich theme for Alexander McQueen. "I was thinking with a 19th-century head on," he said of designing his pre-fall collection.
ALEXANDER WANG: Influenced by the early Nineties and Tom Ford's Gucci days, Alexander Wang turned out a sexy, sophisticated lineup.
ARMANI COLLEZIONI: Understated elegance was the order of the day for Giorgio Armani.
AZZARO: Along with her regular pre-fall collection, Vanessa Seward unveiled a capsule collection of crystal-embroidered minis designed by indie pop chanteuse April March.
BADGLEY MISCHKA: According to Mark Badgley and James Mischka, pre-fall is about "beautiful, happy clothes — nothing serious," and with that in mind, they turned out a lineup of fanciful gowns and youthful cocktail dresses with plenty of embellishments, feathers and frayed ruffles.
BALENCIAGA: Nicolas Ghesquière knows just how to blend traditional French elements with unexpected pieces and details, including his distinctive draping.
BOTTEGA VENETA: Tomas Maier went for his signature elegant, luxurious effects.
BURBERRY PRORSUM: Revisiting the classics, Christopher Bailey turned out a stellar lineup with a polished yet disheveled sensibility.
CALVIN KLEIN: Francisco Costa showed two sides of his current fascination with chic futurism, one sober and the other, light as air.
CAROLINA HERRERA: Carolina Herrera hit a charming balance between soft and strict.
CHANEL MÉTIERS D'ART: Karl Lagerfeld showed a Russian-themed satellite collection with glimmering brocades, fur trims and luscious embroideries.
CHRISTIAN DIOR: John Galliano's collection for Christian Dior took inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock's icy heroines and Helmut Newton's tough-chic glamazons.
CHRISTIAN LACROIX: Christian Lacroix tapped into a rich well of inspiration: his own couture oeuvre.
CHLOÉ: Hannah MacGibbon turned out an effortless collection of delicate crystal-embellished tops and tailored trousers.
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG: It's a jungle out there, or, as Diane von Furstenberg said of her pre-fall collection, an urban jungle.
DKNY: Classic looks with clean lines were the order of the day.
DOLCE & GABBANA: Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have gone all out for a dressed-up sensuality this season in both their signature tailored looks in gray flannels and tweeds and shapely dresses in silk satin and velvet, some detailed with paillettes and embroideries.
DONNA KARAN: Nix "pre-fall." Donna Karan's "transeasonal" collection, as she called it, was inspired by today's economic climate and intended to be worn year-round.
DOO.RI: Doo-Ri Chung offered a coherent collection focused on proportions and tricks, as in dresses that give the illusion of having separate layers.
EMANUEL UNGARO: For pre-fall, Esteban Cortazar visited the Ungaro archives, reinterpreting the designer's polkadot prints and his trademark draping and ruffles.
EMILIO PUCCI: For his first pre-fall collection for Pucci, artistic director Peter Dundas focused on cocktailwear in satin and jersey, as well as printed and beaded georgette looks with a Twenties feel.
ESCADA: Inspired by Grace Jones and Helmut Newton, Damiano Biella, turned out a collection of haberdashery pieces with feminine touches as well as plenty of sexy body-hugging dresses and skirts.
GIAMBATTISTA VALLI: The designer, who usually shows in Paris, made a return to his homeland of Italy for a pre-fall runway show.
GIANFRANCO FERRE: Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi said they were interpreting a new fashion code, one that emphasizes a woman's inner self rather than in-your-face sexiness.
GILES: The looks include curvy duchesse satin dresses with bows, shiny satin cowboy shirts paired with skinny skirts and sack dresses with laser-cut details.
GIORGIO ARMANI: Armani kept his options open with slim or A-line skirts, full or lean pants and elaborately detailed jackets
GIVENCHY: Riccardo Tisci drew inspiration from Peruvian diva Yma Sumac and Mexican painter Frida Kahlo.
GUCCI: British eccentricity inspired Frida Giannini's lineup for Gucci, which featured smartly tailored jackets and pants as well as sleek dresses in silk georgette.
ISAAC MIZRAHI: Isaac Mizrahi turned out a terrific mix of seasonless looks that the designer referred to as the "stock for fall's soup."
J.MENDEL: Each season, Gilles Mendel expands his range of eveningwear choices and younger, less serious furs to throw on top. For pre-fall, he has also added lots of day looks.
JOHN GALLIANO: Multicultural references, like Indian embellishments adorning wool parkas
and trenches, ran through a wearable, feminine collection.

Infographic: How do B2B companies use social media?
Businesses using social media to push brand awareness is well-documented, but according to new research by Eloqua B2B companies are getting in on the action, too.
Over 500 B2B marketers were surveyed about their use of social media, revealing that 64% of UK businesses use the medium as a marketing tool for reasons ranging from gaining trust to brand perception.
Interestingly, 23% of respondents said that social media is not the responsibility of any one department, mirroring other findings that indicate a not-insignificant number of companies lack dedicated social media personnel.
Again, many respondents expressed enthusiasm for utilizing social media in their workplace, but claimed they are unable to. Around 20% said a lack of tools is preventing them from using social media for lead generation.
The infographic also states that while figures suggest LinkedIn is almost three times as effective as Facebook and Twitter in lead generation, it actually trails behind in adoption for this purpose. Given LinkedIn's clout in the business community it's surprising that so many B2B companies are overlooking the potential in this natural ally.

The Pinnacle
Structure in General
- The building incorporates biomass heating and ground water heat exchangers.
- The bottom three storeys of the tower are publicly accessible; there is also a sky lobby and restaurant on the 43rd floor which are London's highest public vantage point.
- The design of the top resembles a helter-skelter, hence the tower's nickname.
- The scheme was initially proposed to be 307.25m tall with 64 storeys and a total floor area of 140,147sq m. Following objections from the Civil Aviation Authority, the height was reduced in December 2005 by 19.35m/4 storeys.
- An earlier proposal for a 216m tall, 50-storey tower designed by Murphy/Jahn Associates on the site of 6-8 Bishopsgate and 22-24 Bishopsgate was abandoned following opposition from English Heritage over the impact on the view of St. Paul's Cathedral looking east along Fleet Street.
- Level 57 is double height.
- The building has 52 office floors with financial trading floors sited on levels 3 to 9.
- The design maximises the use of natural light reducing dependence on electric lighting.
- The façade is ventilated to counter solar gain and facilitate the use of natural ventilation.
- The top of the tower should sway by only about 5 centimetres (2 inches).
- The base of the tower exhibits a curvaceous canopy which billows out in the manner of the bottom of a pair of flared trousers.
- The ventilated façade system consists of overlapping flat panels which resemble snakeskin, obviating the need for curved panels; indeed the exterior is expressed without a single piece of curved glass.
- The building's height AOD is 305 metres.
- The height was determined by the flight path leading to London's City Airport.
- The building has 60 main 2.4 metre (7.8 feet) piles descending to a depth of 60 metres (197 feet), each of which required concrete to be poured continuously for 13 hours.
- All of the office floor plates can be split to house two tenants on one floor and all floors can be configured for cellular or open-plan occupation.
- The tower has 90,000 photovoltaic cells which are integrated into around 2,000 sq m of the façade and generate 200 kilowatts of electricity.
- Features a high performance triple glazed façade and combines both natural and mechanical ventilation to reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption.
- A planning application was submitted on 1 December 2006 to make a series of revisions to the scheme in order to increase the overall floor area. The changes retain the same building envelope, but include 3 additional floors, a revised Sliver building, changes to the cladding and a larger basement.

Thanks a bunch @uist129. I bought the wood darkened ore smoked as its called i Denmark. It's done with ammonia fumes, and can be done by yourself if you have the time and space fore it. It smells A LOT! Just pine the wood over a bath of ammonia and cover with tarpaulin. The darkness ore shade depends of the time you smoke it. I don`t how it is in the states but here it`s easier and better to buy treated. It gets more uniform in the color. Enjoy :)

Our makeup routine can take up a significant part of our morning, and it can be tempting to look for shortcuts and steps to skip in order to get out the door just a little bit faster. And when makeup layoffs are on the table, lip primer is often the first one to go. But here are three reasons why a good lip primer, conscientiously applied, is well-worth the extra time and effort.
As A Foundation
The obvious benefit lip primers provide (indeed, their main purpose) is to give your lipstick or gloss a solid foundation. They fill in any wrinkles or uneven spots to give your lips a smooth and firm texture, which will keep your color in place longer. They can also prevent your color from feathering throughout the day.
Lip Health
The best lip primers also nourish your lips while they protect them. Many primers contain moisturizing agents which are naturally locked into the lips by the primer itself. And a number of primers contain enriching vitamins (most often vitamins A, E, and C) to keep your lips healthy and full.
Keeping that stick of primer in your makeup kit is one of the most practical, long-lasting, and cost-effective makeup tips for lips you'll find anywhere. Anything that can do that much for your lips is definitely worth the little bit of extra time.
A good lip primer is a must-have for any makeup kit. But is your lip primer doing all it can do for your lips? While most lip primers get the job done, the best lip primers go above and beyond.
At their most basic level, lip primers act as foundation for your lips. Here's a quick experiment: Touch your cheek. Now touch your lip. Notice the difference in skin texture and tone? Since the skin of your lips is completely different from the rest of your skin, you need a different composition of materials in order to provide a long-lasting, secure base for your lipstick, liner, or gloss.
That's the direct purpose. The indirect purpose of lip primers is to provide definition at the edges of your lips by preventing feathering or color bleeds. The best lip primers can also fill in wrinkles and uneven spaces and give your lips a smoother, fuller appearance. And for many makeup novices, the first application of lip primer lets them know where their lips actually begin and the regular skin ends.
There is no step more important to a makeup routine than creating a perfect base (remember to start with Spackle Under Make-Up Primer!). Professional makeup artists know that foundation and contouring products can make all the difference in the world to a person's appearance, as long as they're applied correctly. Here, we'll look at the process of applying foundations and contouring products so that flaws disappear.
Applying Foundation
Not every foundation type is right for every person, and some even have fairly rapid expirations. Those with dry skin can opt for liquid, stick, or hydrating powder foundations and those with oily skin can choose powder foundations. The common denominator is powder, so let's look at the proper method for applying powder foundation.
Applying powder foundation is not difficult, though it can be tricky to strike a balance between coverage and cakiness. Use a concealer to cover any areas of severe discoloration like undereye circles, redness, or blemishes. Then, roll a large kabuki brush in your foundation. Begin applying powder foundation in a stippling motion all around your face. Then, finish applying the foundation by blending in circular motions all around your face.
Once you're done applying powder foundation, your face should look smooth and even, albeit flat and a little unnatural. Contouring makes cheeks look more chiseled and perfects the appearance of the face.
Begin with a bronzer. Apply it along your jawline, under your cheekbones, on the sides of your nose, along your hairline, and directly under your bottom lip. Use the kabuki brush to blend it in, making sure there are no tell-tale lines.
Next, use a highlighting powder on the center of your chin, down the center of your nose, on your cheekbones, on your cupid's bow, and on the middle of your forehead. Again, blend carefully, always pulling upward to create elongation.
To finish, use a blush on the apples of your cheeks, also pulling it upward toward your hairline, along your cheekbones. If you like, you can set your makeup with another light dusting of powder foundation.
Finishing the Look
Once you've prepared your face, you can take your makeup look in any direction you like. Simply apply a little mascara for a refined natural look, experiment with a smoky eye for a bold statement, or go light on the eye makeup and emphasize a red lip. The choices are endless. Once you've used primer, foundation and contoured, you're a perfect blank canvas!
Start Your Makeup Routine the Right Way
Foundation is the important base that prepares the face for any kind of face makeup routine (remember to prime first with Spackle!). Helping to even out skin tone and cover light blemishes and scars, foundation is available in a variety of types, each of which has benefits and drawbacks for different skin types. The two major makeup foundation types are liquid and powder. So what's the difference?
Liquid Makeup Foundation Types
Liquid face makeup is ideal for those with dry skin who might experience flaking with powder foundations. Generally, it's wise to choose a full coverage type, since it's much easier to make something more sheer than to make it more opaque. It can be finicky to apply, so let's look at the easiest way to correctly use liquid makeup foundation types.
- Pour or pump a nickel- or quarter-sized dollop onto the back of your hand.
- Dip into the dollop with a dense, flat top brush and dot the makeup onto your nose, cheeks, chin, and around the borders of your face.
- Starting at the nose, stipple in small, tight areas, moving to the cheeks and borders of the face. Do the same for the chin.
- Take what's left on the brush to stipple above and below your lips.
- Re-dip into your dollop and start stippling across your forehead and into your hairline and then under your jawline.
- Stipple across the rest of your face and then use the same brush to lightly buff in small, circular motions.
Liquid foundation usually needs to be replaced after about six months. You may be able to extend its shelf life by storing it in a cool area in a tight container.
Powder Makeup Foundation Types
Powder foundation is a good choice for those with oily skin. Baked makeup is an especially popular type of powder foundation, as it provides purer color and a weightless feel. Applying powder foundation well is all about blending.
- Work a large powder brush into your compact, making sure the sides of the bristles are receiving the most contact with the powder.
- Press the bristles onto your face with a slight rolling motion so that it deposits evenly onto your skin.
- Lightly dust powder across your face, and then set with a translucent powder to finish.
Whichever makeup foundation types you use, it's important to allow your foundation to set for three to five minutes after application before applying any cream products.
Choosing the right foundation, and applying it well, is an important step toward flawless face makeup. To make sure you're putting your best face out there, choose a high quality product and apply it with careful technique.

Calvary Missionary Baptist Church of Minden, Louisiana was organized in the home of the
late Mr. and Mrs. H.L. Rowland in the winter of 1930 with only seven charter members.
Others who were instrumental in establishing the church were elders R.P. Reeves, T.N. Davis
and T.H. Carter.
The seven charter members of Calvary Church were Mrs. Inez Rowland Landrem, elder and
Mrs. R.P. (Myrtle) Reeves, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Rowland and Mr. and Mrs. R.R. Stell. Hope
Missionary Baptist Church of Heflin, Louisiana extended the authority for the organization.
Elder T.H. Carter was the first pastor of the church. The church adopted the name "Second
Baptist Church" and held services in a building on Reynolds Street in west Minden until 1938.
In 1937, the church purchased the corner property of Shreveport Road and Randal Street in
west Minden and erected a frame building in 1938. The church held its first service at that
location in May 1938 and changed its name to "Calvary Missionary Baptist Church". Several
buildings and expansions were completed in that location.
In 1951, Calvary Church, under the leadership of Dr. L.L. Clover, began bible classes for
Christian workers. In 1952, Calvary officially began the Louisiana Missionary Baptist Institute
and Seminary. Calvary has sponsored or endorsed several missions, seminaries and military
chaplains in a worldwide outreach.
Calvary Church on February 28, 1996, voted to relocate its facilities to the east side of Minden.
Construction began December 2, 2002 on new facilities at 1400 Homer Road. The church
observed dedication Sunday on November 2, 2003.
Pastors have been T.H. Carter, Eugene Moore, E.K. Begley, C.C. Bishop, Paul Byars, R.P.
Reeves, Julian Pope, L.L. Clover, Irvin Roshto, Don McCormick and presently James A.
The history of Calvary church reveals a rich heritage. Calvary gives thanks to God for all his
blessings of grace. Realizing that the past labors will not suffice for the future, we continue to
labor until the return of Jesus Christ.

It has been more than 7 years since we all watched as Britney Spears completely imploded on herself. Sure her father, Jamie Spears has helped Britney to get her career back on track and under his close watch she has put together a pretty decent life for herself and her children, but let's face it, Britney has never been the same. That bright eyed, animated young star that was a ball of personality has been replaced with a somewhat robotic grown woman that just doesn't exactly have the same appeal. She also hasn't been in control of anything in years and according to the Sept. 15th print edition of Life & Style magazine she is ready to challenge that.
Sources say that Britney is ready to drag Jamie back to court in order to fight for her $220 million fortune. Jamie has controlled every financial decision that his daughter has made for several years and that's a situation that Britney is ready to challenge legally. It seems that the singer has reached a point in her life where she is cleaning up messes including her cheating ex, David Lucado and is ready to take charge and go in a completely different direction.

At the crossroads for immigration reform
Always uncertain, House of Representatives action on immigration reform now appears definitively on off mode for 2014.
That's because House Republicans loudly denounced Speaker John Boehner's most recent effort to chart a way forward by proposing principles for legislation. They saw the specter of divisive infighting when what they want is a united front for their November re-election bids.
In shelving immigration action, the speaker sidestepped the problem of intraparty strife. He argued instead that his caucus could not trust President Barack Obama to implement any new immigration enforcement measures Congress would pass. This claim, however, overlooks the enormity of what successive Congresses and administrations, under both Republicans and Democrats, have accomplished in immigration enforcement — including throughout the Obama presidency.
Dating back 25 years, but significantly accelerated since 9/11, Congress has made steep investments to ensure that federal agencies can enforce immigration laws aggressively. The United States now spends more on immigration enforcement than on all its other principal criminal federal law enforcement agencies combined.
Spending for enforcement at the nation's borders and inside the country, along with biometric screening of all foreign-born travelers arriving at U.S. airports, reached nearly $18 billion by fiscal 2012. That is 24 percent higher than the $14.4 billion spent for the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Secret Service, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Congress should be trumpeting its achievement in fostering modern, muscular immigration enforcement. The United States now has the lowest rates of illegal immigration across its southwest border in 40 years, when historic levels of illegal immigration began. Partly due to the Great Recession and sustained economic growth in Mexico, but also to significantly heightened border enforcement, there has been no net new illegal immigration from Mexico for at least five years.
Deportations, meanwhile, stand at record highs — nearly four million people have been repatriated since 9/11. More than half of all federal criminal prosecutions are now brought for immigration-related crimes.
These trends represent an historic transformation brought about by unprecedented infusions of money and manpower as well as policies that were built into the new immigration enforcement machinery that links up with the nation's national security strategies.
This transformation delivers on the policy of "enforcement first." This was a key take-away from the last congressional debate on immigration in 2005-2007. Many elected officials attributed the failure to enact that legislation to a lack of public confidence in the government's ability and will to enforce immigration laws.
Perhaps it is not surprising that Congress ignores its own record. After all, more than half — 56 percent, in fact — of today's Republican House members were elected since 2008. They did not take part in the debates and politics driving the enforcement changes.
Still, public opinion has been considerably more discerning. Skepticism about adequate enforcement no longer trumps other concerns. Polling shows increasing support for comprehensive immigration reform, notably for the most contentious of the issues — legalization of millions of unauthorized residents.
Enforcement is a necessary part of immigration policy, but enforcement of outdated laws cannot solve our problems. We need laws that reflect today's new realities. These realities include changing demographics that produce shrinking numbers of younger workers, innovation and technology as the source of jobs and prosperity in a global marketplace, and a large marginalized population who could be far more productive given a chance to get right with the law.
Each day that passes without immigration reform squanders unique competitive opportunities and overlooks pressing needs. For example:
- Twenty-five percent of high-tech firms launched between 1995 and 2005 were created by immigrants.
- Twenty percent of small business owners are immigrants.
- Sixty to 70 percent of graduate students in critical technology fields are foreign-born with visas that expire after graduation.
- Future food prices are estimated to increase 5 to 6 percent and the agriculture sector to lose up to $60 billion due to unmet labor needs.
- More than 60 percent of the nation's 11 million unauthorized residents have lived here more than 10 years. They have deep roots in workplaces and communities. Many have U.S. citizen children.
- Significant numbers of talented, educated young people graduate from U.S. high schools and colleges, yet cannot legally join the workforce because they are unauthorized.
The House Republicans' demands for more enforcement spending and stiff pre-conditions before addressing broader reforms have it backwards. Fixing our broken immigration system requires aligning immigration laws and policies with the nation's economic needs and future well-being. Then the United States can harness the advantages of immigration, and our immigration laws would be enforceable.
After the spring primary elections — the challenges that matter in most House races — a political opening to revive immigration reform could again arise. House leaders have said they favor a piecemeal approach — passing a series of bills covering specific issues, such as border security and high-skilled workers.
Five such bills have been reported out by committees. A sixth, on legal status, has yet to be introduced. But the Judiciary Committee and the House leadership is reportedly now discussing it.
These six bills could likely be passed if Boehner was willing to schedule them for floor action — knowing passage would come from more Democratic than Republican votes. This is how the recent debt ceiling bill passed.
Taken together, the House bills would comprise a package that could be the basis for negotiations with the Senate on the omnibus bill it enacted last year.
Politically and procedurally, these are all long shots and unlikely. Nonetheless, significant immigration reform is do-able were key players to embrace it in the name of national interest imperatives — instead of overlooking the evidence in favor of misleading rhetoric.

I live on the Mexican border in Arizona. I have studied the border problem for twelve years, including hundreds of hours flying the border in my airplane (N3422L). Border enforcement is an abject failure – by design. Much of that design came from Doris Meissner when she was INS Commissioner.
Last November I gave a paper at GovSec West in Dallas. It is based on the results of that twelve-year study. Anyone interested in the truth about the border should watch the online video of that presentation.
We are in a worldwide struggle between the nation state and a globalist enclosure movement. The outcome of that struggle will determine if the United States of American survives as an independent nation.

I think immigration has been turned into a tool of corporate globalization. All of the bills discussed or alluded to in this article are designed to further flatten out the world labor supply, and to reduce legal issues for employers. It will stop when all Americans and Europeans work for and have the same basic economic level and standard of living as all "emerging" nations. The world will be flat.
With a 25% unemployment rate among young black men, tell me again why we need to import poverty–disguised as cheap labor.
By mixing the issues of legal immigation with illegal immigration (assuming the author's percentages are correct, that's five million people that are in this country illegally) you are fragmenting the conversation.
Again, any legislation that incorporates the term "comprehensive" will be a disaster. Congress needs to address each of the issues separately–be it those who have overstayed their visas, those with criminal records, enforcement, legalization, etc.
Granted, the laws need to address the new reality. But the laws also need to protect the interests of Americans–both now and into the future.
Look, I have no problem with the legal immigrants and value their contributions to the nation. I do have a problem with flooding an already anemic job market with illegals. Their reasons for breaking our laws doesn't matter to me. We have existing laws on the books regarding immigration enforcement our representatives stopped enforcing for political reasons rather than any logistical problem. They want to court the votes and I scream nay! Any politician who expects my votes will avoid this amnesty pandering to invaders. Enforce the law or by God get out of the way and let someone in who will. No new laws until the border is closed once and for all. Lets use what we have. If you stop the people, you will stop the drugs. Enforce the law Washington.
Corporate America sent millions of our middle class jobs to China, Mexico and India. Our Government sat on it's hands and did nothing to protect our workers.
Now, it cannot create jobs, because they don't exist.
Add to that, the refusal to enforce our immigration laws and protect our borders, even after 9/11.
If the American people don't see what's really going on, they deserve the consequences.
We have 11-15 million Illegal Immigrants that they know nothing about, taking jobs from American citizens.
Our Government no longer is for the people and by the people.
Meissner ignores the question that people in and out of Congress, including the one-dimensional media, refuse to address, i.e., how would 20 million jobless Americans benefit from giving work permits to 12 million illegal aliens, doubling annual legal immigration to 2 million people and in just 10 years adding 33 million foreign workers while the job market remains dismal?
With so many people out of work, how can you even consider amnesty for illegal immigrants? Those people that are here illegally should be deported. Not rewarded.
Let's face it, this immigration thing is a 20th century issue that has slopped over into the 21st century. The time has come to finally resolve it in an intelligent fashion, as three-fourths of Americans favor and Obama confronts head-on. A new award-winning worldwide book/ebook that helps explain the role, struggles, and contributions of immigrants and minorities is "What Foreigners Need To Know About America From A To Z: How to Understand Crazy American Culture, People, Government, Business, Language and More." It paints a revealing picture of America for anyone who will benefit from a better understanding. Endorsed by ambassadors, educators, and editors, it also informs those who want to learn more about the last remaining superpower and how we compare to other nations on many issues.
As the book points out, immigrants and minorities are a major force in America. Immigrants and the children they bear account for 60 percent of our nation's population growth and own 11 percent of US businesses and are 60 percent more likely to start a new business than native-born Americans. They represent 17 percent of all new business owners (in some states more than 30 percent). Foreign-born business owners generate nearly one-quarter of all business income in California and nearly one-fifth in New York, Florida, and New Jersey. In fact, forty percent of Fortune 500 companies were started by an immigrant or a child of an immigrant, creating 10 million jobs and seven out of ten top brands in our country.
More importantly, they come to improve their lives and create a foundation of success for their children to build upon, as did the author's grandparents when they landed at Ellis Island in 1899 after losing 2 children to disease on a cramped cattle car-like sailing from Europe to the Land of Opportunity. Many bring skills and a willingness to work hard to make their dreams a reality, something our founders did four hundred years ago. In describing America, chapter after chapter chronicles "foreigners" who became successful in the US and contributed to our society. However, most struggle in their efforts and need guidance in Anytown, USA. Perhaps intelligent immigration reform, White House/Congress and business/labor cooperation, concerned citizens and books like this can extend a helping hand, the same unwavering hand, lest we forget, that has been the anchor and lighthouse of American values for four hundred years.
Here's a closing quote from the book's Intro: "With all of our cultural differences though, you'll be surprised to learn how much…we as human beings have in common on this little third rock from the sun. After all, the song played at our Disneyland parks around the world is 'It's A Small World After All.' Peace."
Illegal immigration is good for the illegals, its good for big business, and its good for adding Democratic voters. It destroys the job market for our own citizens, and it puts undue strain on the American Taxpayers through endless entitlements for the illegals. Its time for America to start worrying about Americans for a change. Send the illegals home!Secure the border!
Doris Meissner is yet another anti-American fellow traveller trying to help Obama destroy the USA.
Doris Meissner is a notorious open borders hack who has been pushing amnesty since she was head of the INS. Yes, demographics are changing—because for 50 years immigration laws have not been enforced and all the White House and Congress' energy has been devoted to passing amnesties.
Unemployment among the young, blacks, Hispanics, disabled Americans, under-educated and recently returned veterans is at an all time high. For those who fit two or of those labels, eg, young and black or Hispanic without a high school diploma, the chance of finding a job is twice as unlikely.
Where does Meissner get her audacity to promote an illegal immigrant agenda ahead of American citizens.
Sickening editorial written by a sickening woman.
Another anti-American stabs Americans in the back – just as does Obama
What's wrong if indian and chinese or other immigrants are capable to do things that natives do not want or can not achieve themselves.
Without the "idiot" like Zuckerberg, those big companies will not exist in US and zero job for us and zero tax $. Check this to get idea about how much contributions of those immigrants.

Also another "idiot" Bill gates let an indian immigrant to be CEO of microsoft.
2. According to US census, Foreign-Born Getting STEM Degrees at Higher Rates than Native-Born

So ask the smart professors in university why they find all natives to fill in those stem positions, not letting tax $ to educate foreigners? The answer is simple: They can not find enough CAPABLE natives to do the job
Doris Meissner wants to declare victory on illegal immigration enforcement and go home. She calls recent efforts and "muscular".
And yet:
• Illegal aliens apply for and receive child tax credits worth $19 billion over a decade (Politico, 2/14/14)
• An illegal Mexican was charged with aggravated child abuse in Shreveport last Friday (Shreveport Times, 2/21/14)
• Illegals can now get driver cards and take jobs from Oregon workers (The Oregonian 1/25/14)
• Of the 360,000 people deported last year, only 134,000 were deported from the interior of America. That's only 1% — 1%!! — of the 12 million illegals here.
Doesn't sound muscular to me. More like flaccid.
The "Reality" of today is that we have felons who have broken and abused our immigration laws. The reality is that we have two agendas involving the illegals in this country. The first agenda is business' need for really cheap labor. Business that violate our immigration laws. The second agenda is political. Politicians want more voters. In particular, voters that rely on big government to support them. James Mitchner wrote in his book "Caribbean" about the Spaniard's influence and the Catholic Church's influence on the inhabitants of Mexico, South and Central America, and the islands of the Caribbean. That this influence encouraged dependence on the Church and the Government. It still exists today in the population of these areas of the Western Hemisphere. Each illegal wants the government to support them. For Obama, and Doris Meissner, it means their influence on that population. And, their agenda intentionally ignores the millions of Americans out of work. Men and women who follow the laws as citizens of this country. Men and women born and raised in this country. Men and women who were educated in this country. Reality is my cousin working in the corn fields of Indiana, tasseling corn to earn money for college. She and other young citizens were fired by the farmer. The farmer turned around and hired illegals to finish the tasseling. Why? The farmer could hire the illegals for less money per hour – increasing his profit. So, there are Americans willing to work those jobs that only illegals work now. In summation, immigration reform has nothing to do with what is "right". It has everything to do with Business, Politics, and the Liberal agenda. None of the three care about true Americans. It's all about profit and power.
We need a national referendum on immigration. We need to cut through the log jam and decide the overall policy for the nation. Only the citizens speaking at the voting booth can really settle this question of good and all. I suggest we start with a simple pole giving voters the following three options.
1) Increase immigration to above the current rate.
2) Keep immigration constant at the current rate (1.1million/yr),
3) Cut immigration below the current rate.
Once the most popular option was decided we could have a further questions to narrow down the extent of the desired changes up or down.
Another traitor who can think of anything but amnesty and thinks the borders are secure.
Every four and one-half days (4.5 days) the population of the world increases by 1 million people.
To think about immigration, consider the difference between Japan and India.
Although its first human habitants came from China, Japan rose to prominence among human cultures because it was, like England, an island nation, and compared to other countries, had almost zero immigration thereafter.
Japan, the Land of the Gods, grew such a strong culture, admired around the world, because it was not constantly disturbed by immigrations.
Japan is the exact opposite of, say, India, which has constantly, throughout its history, been disturbed by immigrations.
Including its immigrants, India today has a population of 1.17 billion people, compared to Japan's 128 million.
India has had migration after migration from every direction. It is made up of Hindus, Moslems, Buddhists, Christians, just to start.
India, the land built by immigrants, has literally dozens of languages, great corruption and chronic diseases. Everybody speaking a different language, worshiping a different god, stealing from each other. That is India, the poster child for immigration advocates.
Yet Japan, with a population only one-tenth the size of India's, has a GDP 4 times as big as India. That means the average Japanese citizen is roughly 40 times as productive as the average Indian.
Japan, the island nation, protected from immigrations, has a cohesive culture, very high economic production, high per-capita incomes and wages, and the lowest crime rate in the world.
So America should ask itself, do we want to remain a strong culture, like Japan, or do we want to allow immigrations from all directions, and end up with the chaos and poverty and disease that is India?
Mass immigration into America today, on an unprecedented scale, has flooded the labor markets, driving down wages and causing joblessness, destroying American careers and families. Immigrants (America has 45 million immigrants today) occupy scarce American housing, driving rents sharply higher for Americans.
Immigration on such a vast scale is quickly destroying the American middle class.
20-25% of businesses are started and owned by immigrants because 20-25% of the population is foreign-born. Immigrants possess no magic power to fuel our economy. They are merely people, just like the rest of us. In the final analysis, the only effects of immigration are to grow our population and our labor force. No discussion of immigration is complete without a discussion as to whether or not that makes sense. Part of that discussion needs to be the inverse relationship between population density and per capita consumption, and its role in driving up unemployment and poverty.

America is already dangerously overpopulated. Any additional people will only further decrease our quality of life.
There are millions of unemployed Americans. The idea that there are jobs "Americans won't do" is a myth. If a job pays a reasonable wage it will attract plenty of applicants.
Big Business loves immigration — particularly illegal immigration, because it provides a supply of workers who can be exploited and paid less than US citizens.
Overpopulation is key though. Our aquifers are being sucked dry. Prime farmland is being paved over for residential development and strip malls. Traffic in most major cities is unbearable, and crippling local business. More people (of any race, religion, nationality, etc) means more pollution, increased environmental destruction, even more crowded school classrooms, more traffic congestion, more people on government assistance, a higher crime rate, more traffic, higher unemployment — in short, a lower quality of life.
The primary beneficiaries of greater immigration are employers.
We cannot control what other countries do, but we have a moral obligation to protect what's left of our country and it's natural resources.
We need to reduce our population, not increase it.
STEM bill SPECIFICALLY need to include

Written like a person who most likely lives in a nice (white) suburban neighborhood, and who doesn't have to see the actual reality of the situation. Look at some of the euro nations, who have traditionally been extremely liberal with immigration. Even they are now cracking down. Why? Because even they have discovered, there's only so many people you can fit in the lifeboat. Citing the small percentages of people who actually do come here and do something significant with their lives, is not addressing the other overwhelming majority, who come here with nothing. No education, no money, and few skills. And it's that larger percentage that places a giant burden on our system. A burden we can no longer support. And just because people technically start a business, that doesn't mean we need it. Somebody running a liquor store or yet another gardening service, isn't something that is imperative to the functionality of America. Nobody who snuck over the border 5 years ago, came here to start a superconductor plant, I guarantee that. And we are not doing any favors to Mexico by continuing to give their people an easy out. They need to stay there and fix their country.
There's still plenty of people here that need/want jobs. They just don't want to work for next to nothing. Americans need to restrict as much of their purchasing to US made products as possible, which then forces the manufacturers to produce those products, which then creates higher priced products, and more money to pay people decent wages, right here in the country.
As posted above! "With a 25% unemployment rate among young black men, tell me again why we need to import poverty–disguised as cheap labor."
#1: Build the fence and patrol it! #2: mandate e-verify and actively prosecute business that employes illegal immigrants. Like in Alabama, the illegals will SELF-DEPORT, leaving those (not minimum wage) jobs for AMERICANS to fill up.
ONLY AFTER our borders have been secured should we even discuss a guest worker (no citizenship, definitely NO amnesty).
It amazes me that only the government is pushing for all this immigration reform. It is quite obvious that the vast majority of the people do not want most of it; just tightening the border security. It goes to show you that Corporate America is firmly in charge. Welcome to the USCA!
@sajohnson33 – you make valid points, but population increase is not just about immigration, it's about birthcontrol as well. But of course, corporations now claim religious exemption to healthcare coverage of birthcontrol…. oh dear, the future is gloomy.

How do I measure g forces? Also, how would I subject a person to any number of g's for a period of time? Also, what are the effects of g forces on the body?
The measurement of g-forces is done with an accelerometer. The term 'g-force' is really a misnomer. It is actually the acceleration a mass experiences in a given situation. On earth, one g is about 9.8 m/s^2. Let us call it 10 m/s^2 as an approximation. If you are at 2 g's, you are at about 20 m/s^2 acceleration. Most people begin to feel very lightheaded and may even grey out at about 4 g's. That is why amusement rides try to stay under this acceleration.
