Know Your Lore: Never to rise again {WoW}
Apr 4th 2012 8:00PM @Dreyja
I think that's the exact point that Sylvanas realizes when she says "I know now - beyond a shadow of doubt - that the val'kyr are our future." To this end, we have seen champions redeemed by the light after their end (Bridenbrad). But the undead that we've seen die (Marrowgar, possibly Arthas, even Sylvanas herself) tend to talk about only seeing darkness. As people we tend to think about our second chances as a time to redeem ourselves. Does that same thing hold true for undead?
Here's a thought: What if Sylvanas doesn't believe that she gets an afterlife, due to her undeath? If this were the case, it seems quite unlikely that she would try to "live better" to avoid a fate she didn't think she could have. But yet, the Val'kyr in some fashion give her a way to live forever.
And don't forget that she found herself looking for a new path in life once Arthas died...as her previous one of revenge had now come to fruition.
Put together, this means that a somewhat immortal woman (thanks to the Val'kyr) whom has known mainly revenge for years and does not see any consequences for her actions has to find a new path to follow?
Is it any wonder than that it would be a path of questionable morality at best?
2012 World of Warcraft Arena Pass coming soon {WoW}
Apr 4th 2012 6:08PM @Greg
I'm actually quite surprised to read this. I would have imagined that anyone willing to pay $20 would at least have a vested interest in being competitive...and that the competition would thus be steeper and harder to beat.
Why is Blizzard still OK with gender inequality in World of Warcraft? {WoW}
Apr 3rd 2012 4:39PM Although I agree that there is a definite show of sexism in games (Really SWTOR? No Rotund Females?), I don't know that I feel that this character truly is an example of sexism. I guess that it actually makes me wonder about the Pandaren race and some of their culture. Not in the sense that Pandaren Females are weak or anything like, but moreso it makes me wonder how the men think of their women.
Do they look at them as equals, as far as fighting skill is concerned? Although I have not seen much of the starting area, I'd argue "no" based on what I've seen so far. There's a couple of training areas near the front that has lots of Pandaren men training, but not a lot of women. In fact, I can't think of one right now that is. That says far more to me than a quote from one chauvinistic Panda.
And while I'm on a soapbox here...sexism is crazy apparent in WoW anyhow. Look at the strong Male characters vs. the strong Female characters. Are there any real consistently strong female lead characters in the game aside from Jaina and Sylvanas? Tyrande was at one point, but really not as of late. Moira's a complete mess. Aggra turned out to be all of nothing really. It says something to me that out of 12 races in WoW, only one of them is currently led solely by a female character when 9 of the 12 are led solely by males.

Mar 30th 2012 12:08PM Narayana is completely right, I remember hearing about that as well. Additionally, I do recall them stating that there would be some pets for the pet battles only out in specific weather. For instance, a pet that would only spawn at night amidst the rain.
Mists of Pandaria Beta: New Dungeon and Raid Finder UI {WoW}
Mar 28th 2012 12:04PM I like the revamp, but why even keep the "leader" check box in there? I know of no one that actually checks it off or believes that the "party leader" is by default any more knowledgeable than anyone else in the raid.

The Queue: I need to read more {WoW}
Mar 28th 2012 11:56AM
Books-wise, you should first go look for a copy of "Machine of Death". It's a great collection of short stories all around the concept of a machine that tells you how you die, and it hits several parts you wouldn't think of. Otherwise, I'd also recommend finding the Sherlock Holmes series. I bought one on iBooks and always come back to read more of it. Or "The Spirit Thief" by Rachel Aaron.

Breakfast Topic: What are you just not that excited about in Mists? {WoW}
Mar 28th 2012 11:47AM I'm sure that I'm very strongly in the minority here, but I definitely am not excited about the new loot system. Not the VP changes, the LFR roll system.
I like the idea of rolling on loot. It makes me feel like I have some sort of choice in what I do or what I get. Will something drop? Will I win the roll if it does? It makes me excited to know that I've always got a chance and can perhaps use the loot I get in a way that some people might not think about. With this system, I have to stick with what the game thinks is best for me...whether I actually want it or not.
I like choice, and I hate that some of it will go away in MoP.

Yale School of Management Implements Sliding Scale Application Fee Structure
Jul 17, 2014 | 0 comments
Yale School of Management (SOM) yesterday announced that its 2014-2015 MBA application is now live. While the application itself features no major changes from last year's, the school is implementing a new sliding scale application fee structure designed to increase access for applicants from lower-wage regions and industries or who are still in school or at the beginning of their careers.
Most applicants will pay the standard $225 application fee, but applicants whose total compensation is less than $20,000 a year will pay $175, and those with a total compensation of less than $10,000 will pay $125. Compensation information reported by the applicant in the application will be used to determine the fee, and Yale SOM will verify the reported figures of all applicants who are admitted and enroll.
"This change really flows from our mission of educating leaders for business and society," wrote Yale SOM Director of Admissions Bruce Delmonico in a letter to the members of the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants. "Our goal is to provide access to MBA aspirants who have the potential to have impact across all sectors and geographies, and who bring a diverse array of perspectives into our classrooms and community."
Delmonico added that the sliding scale application fee is but one of several ways the school is seeking to increase the accessibility of the MBA for candidates from diverse backgrounds and from outside the United States. He noted the addition last year of video questions to the application – to complement traditional essays – as well as the elimination of the English language test requirement for non-native English speakers as other examples of ways in which the school is seeking to lower the barriers for applicants from other countries.

Rain Makes Farmers Smile
POSTED: Saturday, September 12, 2009 - 3:20pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 11:04am
TYLER - This weekend's rainy weather is very good news for local farmers who have been praying for it for some time now.
The rainy weather put a damper on some people's weekend activities, but these local farmers couldn't be happier.
This weather is what many farmers like Charlie Claiborne have been waiting on for some time now.
"It rained good early, then it quit a little bit, now it's raining and it's helping," Mr. Claiborne says.
He's been farming for almost two decades out of the Jacksonville area.
His crops have been a little on the dry side, but he says after this weekend he's certain his crops will be thirsty no more.
"Oh yeah, it's going to make everything grow," Mr. Claiborne says happily.

This is the third time I have grown beets, first time in the fall. I feel that I have harvested all that will mature. Will they go ahead and mature if I leave then in the ground? Will they be pithy if they do? The Chinese cabbage is about gone also, but I will harvest it and prep the soil for spring. We have been down to about 20 degrees one time and in the 20s several times. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Larry I doubt they'll grow much more this season. But wow! They sure look good! You could mulch them and harvest as you need them. Or you could harvest them and store in a cool place. They won't go pithy until spring, when they start growing again, and go to flower. But if they get hard frozen, they will be ruined. I tried fall beets this year. But the seed I purchased was no good. Will try again in 2013. George |

George, thanks, we told out Thanksgiving guests to help themselves to the garden. The beets, broccoli and chinese cabbage were hit much harder than the greens and onions. I doubt that there is a beet in there over an inch in diameter. I will mulch some to see what happens. Larry |

I really wanted to love this stuff, but unfortunately I can find very little good about it.
Starting with the only positive of this product, the colour range is really good, despite being limited compared to Bobbi's usual colour range. I wear Honey in her foundations and the medium dark shade blended in with my skin perfectly. It does not have that pinkish tinge to it that I've found with a lot of mineral powders, it's very yellow-based and the medium dark shade was nice and brown.
The packaging is terrible and is impossible to travel with. You have to be so careful when opening the lid in case any of this super expensive and fine powder escapes. I find it hard to shake out an appropriate amount, and when I use the underside of the lid to tap off any excess, it's hard to get that powder back into the container (it settles in the sides and then escapes when I screw the lid on).
Coverage wise, I got nothing out of this so I was very surprised to read so many positive reviews. I was hoping to get enough coverage to even out my skin but found the only way I could get that was using it as a powder over the top of my usual liquid foundation - which completely negated the reasons I purchased this in the first place - to get a nice, natural finish and to have that "no makeup" look. I tried the advice from Bobbi's website about pushing it onto the skin with a powder puff, but found that most of it clung onto the puff and not on my skin. Then using ELF Mineral Powder brush, I noticed clouds of powder puffing up off my face as soon as the brush touched my skin. After application, I noticed lots of powder all over my table or any surface the jar had been near. I would hate to think about how quickly this stuff rubs off any time something touches my face!
Even when used over my foundation, I found it didn't last very long and when I looked in the mirror about 3 hours it looked like I hadn't put any on in the first place.
Overall, this is terrible and I will have to continue my search for a natural makeup look. It's heartbreaking to see so much product go to waste, especially considering the price. If people are finding this product good, then they must have flawless skin that doesn't need makeup to begin with! But for a light, even coverage for the face, it just doesn't do a thing. 2 lippies for having a nice colour range and not breaking me out. But I will continue to mourn my wasted money.

Subtle and natural looking. Sheer, doesn't cover freckles/pimples, but evens out skin.
Doesn't crease, blotch or sweat off (with silicone-base primer/moisturiser).
The powder is very finely milled and sits very smoothly and naturally onto the skin and does not blotch or cake.
Packaging could be revised. Messy when travelling.
Matches skin colour perfectly (Alabaster). A lot of makeup tends to be too dark.

Not terribly impressed with this one, sadly. It's very expensive for the amount of product you get. BareMinerals is quite superior, for half the cost (nearly).
What I like:
It goes well over concealer for a very subtle evening out of skin tone. That's about it.
What it lacks:
Pigment! Hardly any coverage. Bareminerals I can use as concealer with a small brush- this does NOTHING to cover blemishes.
You still need a finishing powder over this to set it- otherwise it's shine city in very little time.
It's like a chalky version of Bareminerals- like it's cut in half with talc or something. I don't like the texture.
So sad. I'm only using this until my new bareminerals order arrives, because this is just crap.
I was disapointed in this - and disapointed that I fell for the hype. There was no glowing skin for me with this foundation, no flawless finish. It's a light to medium coverage foundation but I'd really say that if you don't have really good skin this might not be the most flattering foundation. It starts to go patchy and fade within 2 hours of wear (I wouldn't say I'm particularly oily at the moment either), but you can reapply and layer without it looking cakey.
I'll be going back to my old mineral foundation - yes, it gives a strange white-ish cast in photographs, but it's better than this.
I was highly dissapointed in this product. There was no dewy flawless look promised by the advertisments. It was just a very basic powder that did not make my skin glow. They didn't have more shades to match my olive skin. The packaging was not conveniant, it would not be possible to carry this product around in your handbag. If your looking for a powder try MAC skinfinish.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
On days when I'm not working and I want to look fresh, this is my go-to foundation.
I was never a fan of mineral makeup and I can't remember what got me to buy this in the first place. I even have a backup one since I'm halfway through the current one.
I use light-medium and I love how this gives me sheer coverage, but enough to hide any redness and discolorations.
It wears pretty long, but after about 6 hours (with Laura Mercier foundation primer and kiehls' SPF50 underneath), my skin looks a bit too dewy (mainly around the nose close to the apples of my cheeks)...so oil control not so great. I still use a finishing powder on top after I apply the mineral makeup.
The packaging on this is terrible, You can't really take it out with you or to travel, unless you have an extra powder puff to put on top of the sifter to prevent powder from going everywhere.
I wish it had a twisting lid thing (like the Laura Mercier mineral powder). It's hard to shake some of the product out without making a mess, even with the cap on. It's also a bit too small for a mineral brush to swirl around nicely to get the product in the brush evenly.
More reviews by Hermanspottypants
The packaging sucks big time. Never ever uncover all of the holes, or take it travelling or place it at any angle other than bolt upright. Basically you can apply this at home only. Use something else if you want to apply makeup away from home.
Oh Bobbi, not all of us get to port our makeup in a perfectly upright position. Did someone not think to create some type of slide and lock system?.
Its good to use a very hydrating moisturizer with this product.
It has a good and natural finish- not powdery looking, and its nice there is some spf albeit only factor 15.
It can be used as a finishing powder or a stand alone foundation with very light coverage.
I was exhausted and exhilarated when I finally used this all up. phew.

I bought this while waiting for my usual ultra-pale Lily Lolo order to be delivered, as it was the only "mineral" powder I could find that was pale enough. First of all, the list of ingredients is as long as your arm, mostly consisting of silicones. Calling it "mineral" is a bit of a stretch - there is a minute quantity of minerals in this. That said, it goes on beautifully, has good coverage and lasts a long time. I was sure I was making the switch from Lily Lolo to this, until all the pores around my mouth started to block up turning my upper lip into an alpine region. Ended up going back to Lily Lolo whose ingredients are just Mica and Zinc Oxide and thus infinitely more pore-friendly, though it doesn't look as nice as this.
The packaging, whilst elegant, is totally impractical - designed for sitting upright and perfectly still. Tumbling around in your handbag, makeup comes out of the sifter, but will never go back in. Even Lily Lolo's original sifter could be removed and replaced so makeup could be tipped back into the jar. God forbid if the lid comes off in your bag. That said, I'd definitely use this maybe once a week for a night out. It's easy to apply and looks nice, but day to day, not that great for your skin. Also crazy expensive, especially considering the inside of my handbag ends up wearing more than I do.

My current fav
Pros - colour suits me, fairly good medium coverage for redness, does not break me out, skin still oily by mid day but not very bad
Cons- spills all over when i travel, dosnt hide my pores by itself
To help with the spilling issue the mua adviced me to cut only half the sticker covering the holes frm which the powder comes out frm. Didnt really help
I LOVE this powder! It is light, yet provides good coverage. A little goes a long way, however I took off a lippie because you don't really get that much powder, and it costs a lot. I have oily skin that is prone to redness/flushing, and I wear this on top of my liquid foundation for extra coverage/flawless look/anti-shine. On casual days or when I'm in a hurry I wear this powder without any other foundation and find that while it doesn't cover everything (maybe you'd just need to use more) it provides enough coverage by itself that I feel comfortable enough about my skin to go out.

Warren Matthews, an attorney from Burr & Forman in Montgomery, presented the request to the Commission in conjunction with an announcement of a new $48.4 expansion project in the works by HMA.
According to HMA's Corporate Affairs and Communication Department Manager Ted Pratt, the project includes additional investment related to the production of direct injection engines, part of Honda's "Earth Dreams Technology" designed to increase fuel efficiency and reduce emissions of the V-6 engines produced at HMA.
"The additional jobs and significant financial investment in our Lincoln facility will offer improved efficiency in costs, quality and delivery for our Alabama manufacturing operations," Pratt said. "We believe the investment and additional employment offered by this new venture also will benefit our associates and their families, the local community and our customers."
Pratt estimated the construction, equipment installation and testing would be completed in 2014.
"We're always glad to hear the good news coming out of (HMA)," District 3 Commissioner Kelvin Cunningham said. "We appreciate your hard work."
Other Commission actions taken:
• Discussed the upcoming sinkhole repair project on Alabama 21 spearheaded by the Alabama Department of Transportation to take place by early August.
• Voted 4-0 to approve the June 10 meeting minutes. District 1 Commissioner Jackie Swinford abstained from voting.
• Unanimously approved a Memorandum of Understanding between the Talladega County Emergency Management Agency and Stockdale Baptist Church. County EMA Director Deborah Gaither said the agreement would allow the EMA to use Stockdale Baptist Church as a staging and distribution area during a crisis.
• Voted 5-0 to approve County Administrator Wayne Hall's request for Cunningham to sign a three-year renewal lease agreement for an AS400 computer system.
• Unanimously approved Hall's recommendation to award bids to Twin Creeks Towing, Twin Creeks Towing II, Dee's Wrecker Service, M & H Wrecker Service, R & B Wrecker Service, Hindman's Wrecker Service and Race City Towing & Recovery, effectively adding their services on a rotational basis to the Talladega County Sheriff's Department. Hall said each company met all requirements and specifications sought by the department.
• Voted 5-0 to approve a listing of personal property insolvent taxpayers for the 2012 tax year.
• Unanimously approved a request from the Talladega County Water Department to surplus 1,500 or more old water meters. The water department now uses automatic read meters and deemed the old water meters obsolete.
• Voted 5-0 to approve the Talladega County Economic Development Authority's recommendation to distribute $62,524 of the funds from the 2-cent rural sales tax designated for rural water development to the water department for adding a fire hydrant at Cove Shocco Road and extending water lines on Shady and Smithville Lanes.
• Unanimously approved personnel changes and expenditures.
• Announced District 4 Commissioner Jimmy Roberson will sponsor a garbage clean-up day Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Fayetteville Volunteer Fire Department.
• Announced the county offices will be closed July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
• Announced the next Commission meeting is scheduled for July 8 at 6 p.m.

I'm still trying to decide on minor improvements to a mid-century pink bathroom. I want to keep the style traditional.The sink is a vintage console style, 24" wide. I'm trying to decide on lighting to go with a 24 x 36 oval-shaped mirror. I've narrowed it down to the ones in the images.I prefer something I can return for free to a local store if necessary. Do any of you have a preference for one or two of them?The mock-ups are not to scale! I'll appreciate any feedback. |

#2 at least from the mock up. |
For pink mid-century? #3. |
1 and 3, 2 and 4 are the same, the only difference being whether you want the lights facing up or down. Do you have a preference? |
- Posted by jacquelynn (My Page) on Mon, Jun 16, 14 at 0:51
Sorry, I should have mentioned that some of them are the same, only up or down. I've read that down is better for lighting -- is that right? |
I grew up during that time and I remember more bathrooms with sconces more like 5 & 6 in my new-ish (at the time) subdivision. But I also remember that those lights seemed mainly for show or for fancy night lights. They didn't really throw out that much light. Most of the bathrooms also had utilitarian ceiling fixtures or a light bar built into the top of a medicine cabinet -- so not sure how authentic you want to be? All of the sconces look lovely by the way. |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Mon, Jun 16, 14 at 9:46
I think #2 is a little more feminine for your pink bathroom. I like them facing up. |
- Posted by jacquelynn (My Page) on Mon, Jun 16, 14 at 19:08
Thanks, everyone. Edeevee, I don't need to be completely authentic -- I'm removing several vintage features (a wall heater and built-in medicine cabinets) -- I just didn't want a light that looked super contemporary. And I do have a ceiling light that I'm relying on now, so the sconces are mainly for decoration. beverly 27, Wow. Those would really require me to change my thinking! It's an interesting idea. I appreciate all your opinions...I wish there were |
i probably would choose #3... |

Thanks, busybee! I'm going to start a new thread and will include your choice in the new pic. |

A pic of the vanity would help. |
IME down is better for lighting and cleaning purposes. |

Cape courts hit by bomb threats
Comment on this storyCape Town - Two courts in the Western Cape have received bomb threats in the past 24 hours, police said.
The Western Cape High Court was evacuated after a bomb threat on Wednesday morning, Captain Frederik van Wyk said.
"I can confirm that the threat was made earlier this morning. The whole court building has been evacuated and at this stage it is unknown whether the building is safe."
No further details were available.
On Tuesday, the Wynberg Magistrate's Court received a bomb threat.
"A man made an anonymous phone call to the police call centre," said Van Wyk.
The police's K9 unit was deployed and the court was evacuated. It was later declared safe.
Van Wyk warned that people making hoax bomb threat calls would, if caught, be criminally charged. - Sapa

When my 15-year-old son practices the drums, his border collie, Rocky, jumps into action. He'll instinctively grab anything in sight and drag it around the yard as if to herd it like sheep. Recently, Rocky found my Dipladenia, still in its gallon-sized container waiting to be transplanted.
The plant: When my 15-year-old son practices the drums, his border collie, Rocky, jumps into action. He'll instinctively grab anything in sight and drag it around the yard as if to herd it like sheep. Recently, Rocky found my Dipladenia, still in its gallon-sized container waiting to be transplanted. Rocky has grown with my garden, and I suppose he thinks he's helping by removing the plant from its container before dragging it to and fro. Although it makes me nuts, I have come to appreciate the ritual because it helps me judge a plant's vigor. If it survives a go-round with Rocky, it must be sturdier than most.
So far this summer, the winners have been South African jasmine, Goodwin Creek lavender, Angelonia and Dipladenia. This tropical evergreen bush, also named Mandevilla after the 18th-century British diplomat and gardener Henry Mandeville, is up to the challenge. Dipladenia is native to the lower latitudes of South America and is similar to, but not exactly like, the well-known vining hybrid Mandevilla "Alice du Pont." There's a botanical tug of war about whether to call this plant Dipladenia or Mandevilla. Botanically, both plants belong to the genus Mandevilla, but because Dipladenia is considered a "sport" -- a plant significantly different from the parent due to mutation from cross-pollination rather than hybridization -- growers continue to use the name Dipladenia to differentiate this bushlike plant from its more vining Mandevilla cousins.
Growing guide: Light sun to partial sun.
Culture: Prepare soil for flowering plant cultivation. Plant from transplant. If possible, choose a spot with sun in the morning and protective shade in the afternoon. A spot on a south wall under an overhang has been suggested as a good placement in the low desert. I have mine along a north wall in a raised bed that gets sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. Dipladenia will begin to grow in a bushy form, but if unchecked will eventually act vinelike, growing 4 to 6 feet tall.
Space transplants 3 to 4 feet apart. Water regularly to keep soil moist during the summer. Dipladenia doesn't like cold. wet feet, so adjust the water in winter to allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. For best success, try growing it in a large container. Dipladenia begins to flower in the Valley around April or when the nighttime temperatures reach 50 degrees. Foliage is dark green and glossy, with flower colors that range from white to deep pinks to red with a yellow throat.
Maintenance: After the plant has been growing for four weeks in the ground, add an organic fertilizer to the soil such as dry bat guano or liquid fish/seaweed emulsion. Feed thereafter with fish/seaweed emulsion once a month if growing in a container. Dipladenias are frost-tender, so take care to cover and mulch on nights when frost threatens. If you are growing in a container, move it up onto the porch or up against a warmer south or west wall on frosty nights. If aphids appear, try washing them off with a stiff spray from the hose. If they persist, try neem oil. Yellow leaves can signal either too much water or not enough water.
Barn Goddess tips: Dipladenia can be planted in containers on terraces, balconies or patios. Use it as a filler in hanging baskets or window boxes. It can also provide a vertical presence if trained up a trellis. The plant pictured here is Red Riding Hood. You may also find "Faire Lady" (white blooming, low growing), or "Scarlet Pimpernel" (scarlet red flowers). Pair Dipladenia with periwinkle-hued plumbago, tropical-colored hibiscus and/or calla lilies. And here's a final bonus: It attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.

MONTPELIER — Whether to levy Vermont's sales tax on so-called cloud computing will be up for discussion at the Vermont Statehouse.
Cloud computing happens most often when businesses, instead of buying software to run their processes, go on the Internet and pay to use software housed on computers located elsewhere.
Lawmakers this past spring passed a one-year moratorium and called for a study of whether the state should impose its sales tax on cloud computing services.
At a Statehouse session set for Monday afternoon, a special committee set to study the issue is to hear from state tax officials and analysts, as well as from a tax official from Washington state about that state's experience with levying the tax.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermonts state auditor is asking lawmakers to beef up the information consumers can...

Little Darlings is a great page turner because you see two completely different points of view.One point of view is written by a celebrity child who is called Sunset and does not like her life one bit. She also has a brother and a sister who are both younger than her. The second point of view is from a girl called Destiny who worries about her mum because her mum is alarmingly thin. Also, both of the girls have the same dad which is sort of strange and cool at the same time. When the girls meet and find out that they are sisters, they have a really strong relationship. I reccomend this book for 9 to 10 years because it is quite confusing for younger children.

More reviews by elizabeth20067
This product is AMAZING!!!!!! I was with my husband in the department store smelling all the different tester they had out. When I got to this bottle I couldn't stop smelling it. But as I am a college student, I don't have a lot to spend on beauty products so I didn't purchase the set. Then I found the 1 oz. version at Wal-mart for $20 and couldn't leave the store without it. I love anything vanilla scented or sweet smelling. So if you don't like any of these this isn't the product for you. It's such a sweet caramel smell. I liked it so much I wore it on my wedding day. I have to say if I had to only pick one to wear out of the other perfumes I have (VS, B&W,PINK) this would be it. I was only disappointed that I can't find a store that sells the body wash/shower gel.

LOVE, love, love this scent! Very sweet w/out being OTT, lasts all day on me (a HUGE + ), got small bottle for under $20 at Marshall's. Bottle is pretty too! Smells sugary on me...my DH who hates scents actually said "not bad" which is HUGE praise coming from him :)

i dont like her but i love this! i normally dont wear much perfume, just body spray from b&bw. the only complaint is the cap doesn't stay on when it's in my purse. i spray it on at work and everyone around me likes it!
This is NOTHING special; Aqualina Pink Sugar smells MUCH better. this perfume is much too sweet for me.
I would never pay full price for anything especially since it has Jessica Simpson's name on it. I don't care if she gave this our for free. Just cause her name is on it is an automatic NO BUY for me.
I tried this out at CVS.
I love this one.. I think it's delicious and I like it much more than Viva La Juicy (which is popular, but does not last). I found a 1 oz at Tj maxx for $20, and had to have it. I once had the gift set, but decided it was too much money. It is good, don't get me wrong.. but it's not going to be legendary. It smells like dessert, and that makes sense considering her past products. However, it isn't too sweet. The florals are light and blend in the background. It is forward as a gourmand. The fruit is juiced up and smells real. I have smelled quite alot of perfumes, and gourmands are my favorite. I love it at first spray and I even layer it with florals to make them creamy. My boyfriend was with me shopping when this first came out, and I swear it was the ONLY perfume that stopped him in his tracks. He's absolutely a vanilla/food type guy. All the rest of them are take it or leave it. Update: someone said this was way too sweet for them, but they wear PINK SUGAR? Are you kidding...it smells like cotton candy. Spare us the drama. If your major dislike is it has her name on it, get over yourself. I'm not a fan. I've never payed attention to her, but this is about perfume and nothing else. This is not the same sweetness as Pink Sugar or Fantasy. Those are more candy-like, and this is a creamy vanilla that transitions from fruit to floral while always keeping the vanilla up front. I can't stop spraying it on every day, and I have many niche perfumes.

The bottle is precious, def not very unique but I love sweet scents so it was my thing but my husband just thought is was just ok so it wasn't worth spending my money,
Except for the bottle which is very pretty, this scent is just a generic fruity/vanilla. There is nothing that makes this scent unique or memorable. When I asked my husband what he thought of Fancy, he just shrugged his shoulders. That's about how I feel after wearing it about 8 hours. I'm glad I bought the 1 ounce size and it was not an investment of good money.
P.S. It's been a few days and I've given Fancy another road test. I hate to buy something sight unseen and feel I've wasted my money so I tried Fancy again. I still would not repurchase but it has grown on me. Perhaps I didn't apply enough previously but the scent is curiously comforting probably since I like vanilla as a flavor. I still feel that this scent is nothing special but I will use the bottle up.
Long lasting sweet scent thats imo good to wear in the colder months but I love wearing it year round! The bottle is so pretty....I luv this scent!!

Is It Immoral to Be Overweight?
As a fitness trainer, I wonder: do health and fitness have a place in Judaism? It seems that the secular world encourages a healthy life far more than the Jewish world does. I hear rabbis talk about spiritual matters, but find it hard to listen to them if they themselves are overweight. Is physical wellbeing not important?
The scales of merit are not found in heaven anymore, but are right there on the bathroom floorIn our modern world, we are seeing health as the new morality. Good and bad are now measured in calories. My cereal box invites me to "taste the goodness"—not a moral value, but rather a nutritional one. The scales of merit are not found in heaven anymore, but are right there on the bathroom floor, and the daily judgment is pronounced in kilos and pounds.
This all makes sense if you see the human being as just a body without a soul. If the flesh is all there is, health becomes the highest ideal. But from the Jewish perspective, the soul is our true self, and the body its vehicle. The body and its health are important only because through them we express our higher self. More so, while our body houses our soul, it is a gift from our Creator to use while we are in this world. As it is on loan to us and therefore does not truly belong to us, we must always treat it with respect.
The great Jewish thinker, Maimonides, wrote in the 12th century:
"Caring for the health and wellbeing of the body is one of the ways of serving G‑d."
And he immediately explains why:
"One is unable to think clearly and comprehend truth if he is unwell."
If your mind is cloudy, you may lack moral clarity to know what's right. While battling with illness, we may not find the stamina to battle the ills of the world. That's why we need to look after our bodies. A healthy body is not in itself our life's purpose; it helps us fulfill our purpose. It is a vehicle that transports us towards goodness, but it is not the destination.
Jewish tradition provides no excuse for being unhealthyJewish tradition provides no excuse for being unhealthy. On the contrary, it gives the best reason possible to live healthy: life has meaning and purpose, and each day is precious. Only if life has meaning is it worth taking care of. The risks of high cholesterol, heavy smoking and drug use are a concern only to one who values life. The threat of a shorter lifespan means nothing to someone who sees life as pointless.
We are the healthiest generation in recent history, and our life expectancy is reaching biblical proportions. This means we have more time and energy to fulfill our purpose—to elevate our corner of the world, and tip the scales towards true goodness.
For example, How can I support Stephen Harper when I know that he is pushing the KeyStone pipeline? The method of "natural gas" extraction he endorses not only causes environmental destruction but has very very serious implications for human health. The same goes for GMO foods and foods grown with toxic pesticides. And other harmful chemicals that find their way into our food (artificial colours and flavours, shellac to make candy shiny - this is all certified Kosher, by the way). Given the Jewish obligations to look after our health and help others achieve their life's pu
It is important to raise awareness of Overeater anonymous and their groups and programs that have helped many of those suffering tremendously from guilt and shame.
On Chabad.org there is a section about 12 step groups you can look there for more information.

We're told to love Gd when we sit in our house, when we walk by the way, when we lie down & when we rise up. I.e., ALWAYS.
This means, among other things, to say a blessing to acknowledge all good Gd gives us. A blessing for hearing thunder or for seeing the moon. Blessings for various foods--the fruit of the ground, the fruit of the tree, the bread, the other items made from the five species of the Holy Land, the fruit of the vine (i.e., wine or grape juice), &, finally, for anything else.
Before we make the blessing, we focus on the reason for eating, with one or more instant meditations:
May the nourishment in this food strengthen me to serve GD.
May the soul of this animal be lifted up.
May the holy sparks in this food be lifted up.
When distracted by comfort from food, we must stop, repent, & focus on the reason to eat: for strength to serve Gd.
Anything else is all excuses for one's weakness and lack of will power
Eating is a survival necessity for men like for animals - but it should also be for pleasure to a certain degree, enjoy a little this, enjoy a little that, but know the limits

It's not immoral to be overweight, and there are cases of people born with a genetic problem studied by my husband, who cannot limit intake, because there is no inbuilt system that registers, FULL. Weight is a matter of "matter" and we say, "mind over matter", but it's not easy for those who like the nourishment of food, which also has taken on deepening metaphoric meaning, as it's about comfort, about how a baby gets initially satisfied, and it is paired, so deeply in our subconscious with LOVE. And so the emotional concomitants exist, and every good therapist explores this. Some even need weight as a buffer from assault.
marshfield hills, ma
"Exercise daily, until you break a sweat, cool down, rest (and shower if possible), and then eat.
Eat only when hungry and drink only when thirsty.
Never eat until you are full. In the winter, eat until you are 3/4 full. In the summer, eat 2/3rds of what you eat in winter.
Eat a diet based on whole grains, vegetables, nuts (he was big on almonds), soft cheeses, fruits and lean meats.
A person who exercises, even if he occasionally eats unhealthy foods, will always be healthy.
"Overeating is a poison for the body and the primary cause of all sickness. Most illnesses are brought on by harmful foods or by gorging oneself, even with healthful food."

Listening this sub right now in a ported box at 2ohms and it rattles everything. Pushing it with a planet audio 4000.1d amp and 0awg wire. Slams.

The Kicker Solo-Baric L7 woofers continue to be the best sub in their class. The patented square-woofer technology allows for 18% more cone, which translates to more bang for your buck compared to competing round subwoofers. All new for the 08/09 series is a redesigned and improved SoloKon one-piece, injection-molded cone with full-coverage back bracing that pushes more air and creates louder bass than ever before. The new beautiful look was inspired by the big brother SoloX series, and it's making everyone at Sonic go crazy as it's tougher looking and better-performing.
In addition to the SoloKon improvements, the new L7 woofers also provide a much easier installation. The solid pole piece allows more heat sink capabilities and perimeter venting is built into the spider landing unlike previous years. This also allows for a shallower installation as you no longer have to account for venting through the back of the magnet. To make things even easier on the installer, Kicker moved the binding post to the corners of the woofer allowing for an easier connection when running the subs in parallel or series.
Key Features:
Round/Circle: This is the typical and common subwoofer design. They have a round cone and are a circle in design.
Square: These woofers are able to achieve a greater cone area in a smaller space. Because of the greater surface area, some square subwoofers will be louder than a round subwoofer of the same size.
Sealed: These enclosures completely enclose the air inside the box. These boxes produce a tight bass.
Ported/Vented: These enclosures have a slot of air to escape from the box. The result is a sound that has more "boom".
Bandpass: These are a combination of both sealed and ported enclosures. They can be very efficient, but require tuning for the best response.
Shallow mount speakers will typically have a mounting depth of 2" or less, while shallow mount subwoofers will typically have a mounting depth of 3" or less.

I have a 3000.1 Rockford Fosgate amp and two T212 speaker. The bass isn't like the Kicker. Kicker bass goes in and out my body, and Rockford T212 just go around it. I feel the bass of Kicker like I try to do with the T212, but it wont do that. I will always buy Kicker L7 over the T212 because of the way the bass feels. T212 is 1200watts rms, Kicker L7 is 750rms and the Kicker bass is somehow better for the price. Love Kicker bass.

THESE BEASTS ARE INSANE!!!!! I owned the same system for the last 3 previous years, which was two 12 inch 1200 watt Xplods in a 4 cubic foot vented box and a 2400 watt American legacy amp, and i thought that was loud, and so did others. But i bought a set of 2008 Kicker L7s dual 4 ohm, a 5 cubic foot double chambered slotted TRANSMISSION box, and a 5000 watt SSL FORCE F5000D amp from my buddy, with the subs wired down to 1 ohm, with all my gains set on 0 on the amp, and just using my bass remote to raise the bass on the amp, and these things are disastrous!!! They shake everything and i can scare the crap out of people when i am behind them in traffic!!!! It seriously takes your breath away, and im scared to turn my amp level up from 0 cuz idk if my car can stay in one piece!! ALL I GOT TO SAY IS SCREW WAT EVERYONE SAYS!! KICKER SOLOBARICS ARE THE WAY TO GO!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AND IF YOU ARE YOU HAVE MESSED UP EXPECTATIONS!!!!!

this sub blows away many of the dual twelve inch setups that i have had. I'm running a single 12" l7 dvc 4ohm sub in a slot port with 750matts rms from a Hifonics amp in a Mitsubishi Eclipse. It has broken my rear view mirror off twice. This sub follows in Kickers tradition of building subs that you can beat to hell and still expect them to deliver.

A lot of people hardcore into car audio nowadays always seem to say "squares are bad, they sound like crap, theyre over priced" etc etc. well i have four of these powered by a sundown saz 3500 and let me tell you they do not sound like crap, ported box tuned to 30. the sundown wired to .5ohm puts out 4k plus rms with proper electrical and i have proper electrical. im not cranking my gain/bass boost by any means but these things can take a beating. one thing is they love huge boxes. 4-5 cubes per sub 14-16 inches of port area per sub. thats when they really start to shine. my box is 23 cubes before port/sub/bracing displacement with 250 square inches of port. true there are lower priced subs out there that are equivalent in performance but these are very good subs. plus kicker has awesome customer service and warranty :D i cant give five stars for everything because i havent had them long enough to tell. one bad thing is that the terminals are a bit small for 2 12awg wires (wiring parallel/parallel)

I love this subwoofer. It beats my old TWO twelves without even struggling. I have it in a sealed 1.2 cu ft. enclosure and it sound awesome! I'll rate the lows, mids, and highs for you.. ten being best
Highs 10 out of 10
Lows 9 out of 10
Mids 10 out of 10
It quakes my single cab f150 and I love it like crazy. Eventually I'm going to get another.
PS i am feeding it 1080 watts RMS and it takes all the power like a champ.
All in all i recommend this product 100% great value, great service and great performance. Thanks Sonic!

Hands down this is the best sub I have ever had it hits harder and cleaner than any pair of 12s I have ever seen. I got one l7 to a zx1000.1 at 4ohm to get 500w rms just getting broke in still but the w7 is way better but way spendie too. For the price l7s are the best speaker i think.

I bought the kicker L7, the day I installed it it has added a full and rich sound to my entire system. Plus it was amazing that i got it to fit under the seat of my 2000 2500 ext cab Chevy. I am currently pushing the woofer with a matching kicker 08ZX750.1 amp. This by far is the best sub I have ever had the pleasure of owning.

I helped my friend order a new system, including this and a MTX JH1200. Hooked up at 2 ohms for a total RMS of 800 or so in a 2007 Grand Prix. It banged but we only had it at like half gain and a quarter bass boost. The lows are crazy on it for just one twelve. I told him to get another so we could wire them at 1 ohm to get 1200+ RMS. Great Sub, don't hesitate. I give the Ease of Use a 4/5 because the coil springs are hard to wire, it would be easier to have them all together. But all the others are 5/5!

My brother had this in a custom 3 cubic ft ported box and it pounded. It lacks a little on sound quality, but if you are looking to be really loud, buy this one. It is louder than a 15. Just make sure that if you port it, dont give it more than 600 rms, It wont handle it. Its a pretty good price too. I would definitely recommend this one.

I have been a fan of kicker products for over 6 years now. i have owned many different kicker models and now presently own this sub. it is the best sub i have found for the money. i have it paired with the kicker zx750.1 in the biggest specs that kicker says for it and people here me coming from blocks away. this sub looks really nice and performs much better. the spl output is loud and makes everything shake and its clarity is amazing for its spl output. not to mention for it being a square sub it moves more air compared to a matching round sub that is comparable with it.

After trying every known dry shampoo to man Batiste is by far my favorite. You can't beat the cost too & it is carried at so many stores! Not cakey, doesn't turn my hair white, easily works into roots & smells fine. I can dry shampoo for a couple of days in a row without it looking like a hot mess.
The best dry shampoos I've ever used. I can go 3-4 days without having to wash my hair. I have really dark hair, almost black and the brunette with a hint of color works amazingly because it does not leave a white residue. It gives me volume and it doesn't not make me feel gross like other dry shampoos. I've repurchased this maybe over 10 times. I will never use anything else!

I lovee this dry shampoo only one ive ever and will ever use Only thing i have to say is DO NOT BUY OR USE IN ANY WAY THE XXL VOLUME VERSION its in a pink and and silver bottle ,its as if its infuses with hairspray so when you spray it in your hair its never moving again so it just ends up as one big clump of hair

I really like the dry shampoo fantastic for people with grouse oily hair like mine :p and for days when I can't b bothered fully washing my hair
I use the blonde shade. It helps when my roots start showing. It's by far the best dry shampoo I have EVER used, and I have tried most brands.
Even if I don't have greasy hair I use it to add volume to my hair, the ones that match the colour of your hair are the best and you don't need to blend it in! Recommend highly!
I've tried a handful of other dry shampoos trying to find a little cheaper alternative to this. So far I haven't found one. It is a great dry shampoo. I usually buy the cheeky scent and I have dark hair. It does leave a slight white cast, but nothing near some of the others I've tried.
Will definitely continue rebuying until I find something better.
I LOVE this dry shampoo. Honestly, this is the first dry shampoo I ever tried, and I enjoy it so much I don't think I really need to try others. I don't shower every day, so this is great for second or third day hair, as well as for travelling, weekend trips, and especially helpful for me when I go camping.
My family and I go camping for several weeks in August, and during that time you just want to relax, have fun, hangout with everyone etc. Late nights and activities every day mean little time for showering. We're camping and on holidays anyway, so it doesn't really matter, especially when you're on a campground that charges money and limits time in the public showers. So this product is great for keeping me feeling fresh and less oily in the sweaty summer heat.
This product also has some slight volumizing effects for me, is good for teasing and it helps keep a style in my hair.
I have tried a couple of the different scents. Around where I am, many of the scents are unavailable so I've only tested a few. Of the three that I've tried, original, tropical and floral, my favourite is definitely the Original. In my opinion, the other scents were just awful. They were too sweet and just so distracting. As a girl, there are already so many things on my body that already have a smell (bodywash, body lotion, shampoo, deodorant, perfume, etc), so these crazy scents are really unnecessary for me.
And the price is a bit high. Regular price where I'm from is about $8-9. But I find it's worth it, since I use it all the time. I really recommend this product for people who don't shower every day.

Everyone seems to love this, but it honestly did nothing for my hair :(..... I am fairly new to the dry shampoo realm, so am i doing this wrong?
How i shampoo
-have grotesque hair
-brush it so it has no tangles
-spray on the roots
-rub/scrunch in
-brush out
p.s. I really wanted to make this work, but it didn't.... plus $8 seems a little steep for dry shampoo....
