I tried this at the Ulta store and just wanted to see if it was anything to rave about. It is okay. I wore it in medium beige neutral and the color was decent but I didn't like how it sat on my skin, my skin is slightly dry and starting to mature with age. It felt alittle heavier than what I was expecting like I had dusted on some fine clay (which is what it is + oxides that give it color). I think someone who has oily skin might like it because it might absorb the oil. But I just not a fan of the texture.
I have been using bareminerals for years. It was the first foundation I ever bought. You can use it alone for a natural everyday look or you can wear it over liquid foundation to get a very flawless look. Over the past couple months I have not been wearing liquid foundation and have completely converted back to mineral makeup. I feel like it gives such a natural effect while still looking very flawless and it so perfect for everyday. It is also very natural in terms of ingredients and I feel like it is not as irritating to me sensitive skin. Highly recommend bareminerals!
I don't even count how many containers I have used, have tried 3 different Mineral Foundations and always came back to BE Original SPF 15.
The finish is perfect for me, I need a slightly thicker finish, not sheer, so this is just right. I always buy Medium Beige, such a right color for me.
I definitely don't breakout.
I actually want to try more expensive one like Bobbi Brown and see if it has better finish, maybe one day.
Love this product! :)

What a difference a few hours makes. At first this looked flawless and I loved it. After about 6 hours I took some photos and could not believe how awful my face looked. I can describe exactly what happened but it was like it was separating away from itself and from my face..yuk!
This foundation is fabulous! I was matched with Fairly Medium which was a perfect complement to my fair-medium skin with pink undertones. My skin can change color throughout the year, thankfully this line offered a lot of shades to suit my skintone in summer and winter. I also have very oily, sensitive, acne prone skin and this did not irritate it or slide off during sports or hot summer months. For application I moisturize with Aveeno Positively Radiant and then use EcoTools Bronzing Brush which provided nice coverage (HG Foundation brush!). The updated packaging with the twist lid is so much more handy and doesn't allow product to fall out.
-Variety of shades to match almost any skin tone
-Doesn't Clog pores!
-Can be used as a foundation and concealer (just concentrate more in certain areas)
-Can sleep in it and it won't irritate skin as badly as liquid foundations
-Doesn't have the "mask" feeling
-Makes dry skin more noticeable. My oily skin can be dry and flaky due to acne treatments.
-Isn't full coverage, You have to have somewhat good skin beforehand for this to work for you
-Only lasts me 1-2 months
-Expensive. Also beware about purchasing on amazon, they sell for very cheap but more often than not they are NOT authentic products (learned this the hard way)
Overall a very solid product for sensitive, oily skin gals like myself. I would imagine this would work for the majority of skin types.

I've never been a fan of liquid foundations and i was searching for a new powder base foundation to replace my old one. Heard good reviews on this so i decided to try it out. The first time i tried it, i noticed a very strong mineral smell which lasted almost the whole day and it really put me off. I decided to give it another go and weirdly, the smell disappeared on my second day of use. I kind of like this foundation coz it didnt break me out and the coverage is just nice, nothing too heavy which I like. I have combination skin so this product didnt make my t-zone oily either.
I still have containers of this makeup in my drawers. Idk, it worked great for me during my twenties, but the year after I turned 30, it was over. The foundation became very very aging. I definitely can no longer use this during the winter time. In the summers, I can use it hwne it's face melting hot & nothing else will stay on. That's the only time I would recommend this & also there ARE many high quality, cheaper mineral makeup alternative on the market now: like Everyday Minerals. Use my code at Iherb.com for $5-$10 off your first order: REB607
It feels almost blasphemous to say this about this celebrated "must have" that every beautician (at least in Sweden) raves about, but it really doesn't work for me. At all.
1) the shades that have enough yellow for my very yellow medium skin tone are too light, and the darker shades (tan and up) are too reddish and the result is an unnatural 80s orange look, not at all the natural glowing youthful one I expected. The "matching" concealer shades are way too light, and every single one has reddish undertones that look absoultely awful with yellow skin.
2) I have oily skin, and still this stuff leaves a too powdery finish that also looks a bit dated and ages me by about 15 years. It's actually the one product that can make my oily skin look dry!
3) it has no coverage at all, no matter whether I swirl tap and buff until I self combust or just swirl on a single layer. In terms of coverage it does absolutely nothing for me. Dark under eye circles? Still there (yes I have the concealer too). Uneven skintone? Still there and quite accentuated by the poorly matching way too reddish shade too! Blemishes? Still there and covered by product that gathers in little clusters around every impurity.
I think this is a pretty packaged but highly overrated and overpriced product. When it came out, it might have been revolutionary, but it's 2013 and most regular liquid foundations are now made with better, more skin friendly ingedients and offer better shade
matching, longevity and coverage.
I'm just disappointed that In spent so much on BM-products hoping the results would improve once I got the hang of using them and/or if I used different brushes and other add ons. Don't make the same mistake!

I used to love BE foundation when I was in high school and used it all the time. I took a long hiatus from it and thought I'd give it a go again to relieve my skin of liquid foundations to find my skin no longer likes it. I got these tiny bumps on the lower half of my face and my skin was itchy as well. My skin was also more dull the day after. What happened?! Granted, my skin condition got better after a day or 2 but this happened every time I tried to use it.
The actual coverage is wonderful and the color is pretty forgiving as long as it's applied gradually. You can layer it on for sheer to medium-full coverage. Skin looks pretty nice for a powder foundation and has a luminosity to it.

So I've been wanting to give my skin a break from the full coverage liquids, because they can take a toll on the skin, so I began the experiment with minerals. The thing with this foundation is that you really need the brushes. For some reason any other brush I use won't give a good finish or coverage. Also I don't think if you have redness with product alone isn't for you I use the mineral concealer they also sell with the recommended brush and I got the coverage I desired. It last about 8 hours but of you use the primer it boost it to about 14 hours. It's very light feeling on the face and looks like skin. I won't be commited to minerals forever though because I'm a very busy women so I need very long wearing and great coverage makeup that's easy to apply and I can't use highlighting pens with this foundation.
At the end of the day if your just the average woman I do 100% recommend this.
Ps my mother and sister and I have different coverage needs and skin types and it works for all of us.

How Microsoft Can Lock Linux Off Windows 8 PCs
Re:"Required for Windows 8 client" -- Microsoft (899 comments)
Just last year I bought a Clevo laptop that didn't even come with an OS, even less so with any useless logos.
Announcing: Slashdot Deals - Explore geek apps, games, gadgets and more. (what is this?)
We are sorry to see you leave - Beta is different and we value the time you took to try it out. Before you decide to go, please take a look at some value-adds for Beta and learn more about it. Thank you for reading Slashdot, and for making the site better!
Re:"Required for Windows 8 client" -- Microsoft (899 comments)
Just last year I bought a Clevo laptop that didn't even come with an OS, even less so with any useless logos.
Re:moron. (899 comments)
Yeah, tell that to the millions of people stuck working in dead end jobs like Walmart and McDonalds. You can work and work and work in jobs like that and never get ahead at all. Guess which types of jobs are growing the much lately here in the US? That's right, McDonalds and Walmart-type jobs.
I know people with 4 year degrees delivering pizzas because there's no jobs in their field.
Why would you need to find a job? Make a good business plan or come up with an innovative idea, get some financial backing behind it and there's your success. That's what I meant with working hard, not some dead-end McDonalds job.
There's nothing, absolutely nothing stopping you from trying so. Except in socialist countries, where people have grown to know that the government will always take care of them and they can't improve their life standard much by trying to do new and innovative things, so they stay at status quo.
Re:"Required for Windows 8 client" -- Microsoft (899 comments)
No, even the summary states that it is only required if you want to get the Windows 8 logo on the product. Do you seriously think that you will be unable to find computers or even parts that won't let you build or have a computer capable of dual booting or changing OS?
Re:What an over sensationalist title (899 comments)
Seriously, it's not that hard. Last time I bought a laptop (an 3000 euro one from Clevo, to be exact) it even explicitly stated that it doesn't come with any OS. I looked it up from internet and walked to get it from the store. It's not that hard, and this was even a laptop.
Re:Rarely never (899 comments)
It's still far greater good to kill the boot time rootkits.
Re:What an over sensationalist title (899 comments)
You sure do know a lot about Nintendo's products to not be a fanboy. And now you have "^Was never a Nintendo fanboy." in your signature to throw off suspicions about your status as Nintendo fanboy. It's pretty obvious you're a Nintendo shill and fanboy.
Re:Sensationalist? I strongly disagree (899 comments)
No, this is Microsoft taking the required steps to protect against boot rootkits doing damage in the wild right now. It's nothing else, but it has been spinned as such. It's like conspiracy theorists who find some conspiracy in almost anything they hate. The difference just being that this isn't the big bad government and their secret UFO stuff, it's Microsoft.
Look, Microsoft is doing a far more good by killing of the boot-time rootkits. I'm sure the few people who want to dual boot can just buy devices that support it.
Re:What an over sensationalist title (899 comments)
Then they get a device that doesn't require it. It's an OPTIONAL security addition, that most likely will be mostly included in business line devices. Read the article.
Re:moron. (899 comments)
You went on such a huge rage that you even missed me saying I'm not even American. I live in Europe. Let me say it again - I live in Europe. And I hate the socialism here. Yes, the human development index might be better, but that's just it. It's standard shitty life for everyone, no matter how hard you work or try to make it better.
If you are starting to make it better than other people, they tax you so much that you're soon back to where everyone else is. At least with capitalism countries you can work to make your life better. In socialism countries you cannot - you just have to accept that no matter what you do, you will always have the same standard of living than anyone else.
Re:What an over sensationalist title (899 comments)
I think that case happens really rarely. It's much greater good that Microsoft fixes the security problems regarding boot rootkits. Saying anything else is just hating Microsoft for nothing. And in the next boot rootkit article you can again yell at Microsoft about why they don't secure their systems. Jeez.
Re:What an over sensationalist title (899 comments)
And how does it feel to be a shill for Nintendo? Must be pretty lonely there though, as Nintendo doesn't get that much stories in Slashdot.
Re:What an over sensationalist title (899 comments)
Welcome to capitalism, where have you been?
US hasn't been capitalist country for a while. It's turning into socialism, especially with Obama. I'm not even American and I can see that. The recent introduction of much higher taxes for rich people support that even more. Soon it will be like here in Europe, where they tax you so that no one can get richer than any other worker. It's nanny state tactic - people's feelings would get hurt when other people are better and have more than them.
Re:What an over sensationalist title (899 comments)
Now you're just talking shit. Microsoft was fined 15 years ago for making deals with manufacturers and were forbidden for doing so. They stopped. Manufacturers still offer Windows because that's what most people want, believe it or not. Everything works with Windows, especially if you're a gamer.
Re:What an over sensationalist title (899 comments)
Wait, so you want me to do "positive marketing" for MS competitors? That doesn't count as shilling? Jeez, not everyone who gives a positive opinion about something is a shill. I seriously doubt that Slashdot even interests any large company, it's a small niche website of geeks who bash anything not-Linux or open source.
Re:What an over sensationalist title (899 comments)
You seriously think Microsoft is stupid enough to try it again? It's been 15 years. Let it go.
What an over sensationalist title (899 comments)
So it isn't really Microsoft that can lock you out, it's device manufacturer. Likewise they could lock you out of Windows if Linux was the OS that came with computer. Why don't we see a headline like "How Linux Can Lock Windows Off PCs"? Oh right, this is slashdot. We're here to bash Microsoft.
Boot rootkits are a real problem. Microsoft is improving security here. In fact, Linux has had the capability to use (U)EFI for years. Now Microsoft is just making it default in their system, because quite frankly most people aren't that intelligent with computers and the OS needs to decide some security for them. It's funny how in other news Microsoft gets bashed for bad security, and then in other news they get bashed for implementing those security features.
If you don't get the key when buying your computer, complain to your manufacturer. It's their fault. I don't know why you're buying a computer with Windows to begin with if you're going to install Linux anyway, you're just throwing away money. And nowadays there's lots of computers available without Windows, or you can just build it yourself.
Re:It's an investment. (217 comments)
Completely forget about Netflix and Hulu? And the countless amount of TV channels that use Silverlight on their websites, even in my country. Silverlight offers DRM while Flash doesn't, and that's why it will stay relevant even with Flash and HTML5 video.
It's an investment. (217 comments)
Google is in the same situation elsewhere - they're spending LOTS of money to try to gain market share in Russia and China, but so far they're being crushed by the local giants Yandex and Baidu. These companies see it as a long-term campaing and have the means and money to do it. After all, it's still a lot easier to try to gain market share now than it will be in 20-30 years. Even if things are quite laid down now, they will be even more so all the time when time passes.
It's also just corporate finances. Even if Microsoft's online division loses money, it gains them recognizition and sales elsewhere. The one good thing about Microsoft is that they tend to stick to what they started. It's not like Google who might just cancel the product you're using the next day.
So if they don't keep investing to it now, they're basically letting Google have 99% of western search engine market. I really don't want that happen either - competition is good.
Re:Google+ is a success (188 comments)
Google bought of Blogspot, they didn't make it. If Google wants to succeed in social networks market, they need to buy off Facebook, and that isn't going to happen.
Re:Javascript (110 comments)
And how you think they will inject that javascript into the webpage, exactly? They cannot.

'Prince Avalanche,' 'The Attack,' and 'Grabbers' Star In the Best Blu-ray & DVD Releases of the Week!
Features By Rob Hunter on November 12, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. I Declare War A group of pre-teen boys (and one girl), some friends and some not, gather for a game of war in the back woods. Using sticks, a simple set of rules, and their endless imagination, the battle grows to include M-16s, grenades, bazookas, and more, but while all of those are allowed things soon take a dark turn. Jealousy and insecurity fuel one boy's rage to the point where the war stops being a game. This Canadian import starts off like the perfect encapsulation of a day in the life of a twelve year old boy with its mix of physical activity and imagination-fueled violence. It becomes something more though as one of the boys begins to crack, and some of the kids enter a Lord of the Flies-like scenario built on fear and peer pressure. It's a bit rough around the edges at times, particularly with some of the child actors, but it never lets go of its sense of fun. [Blu-ray/DVD extras: Commentaries, featurettes, trailer]

Will Lindsay Lohan Get Bested Again?
Lindsay Lohan can dispel those nagging lesbian rumors with one returned text message.
Britain's Daily Mail reports that celeb spawn Calum Best is secretly texting the rehabitué, whom he volatilely dated in 2007.
"Calum can't wait to see Linds—whenever they meet they always get it on," says the paper's source. "Lindsay couldn't get enough of his bedroom antics."
Best's bedroom antics include being snagged hoovering coke with two hookers just a week after he and Lindsay broke up.
Best is in Los Angeles filming Totally Calum Best: The Best Is Yet to Come. The premise of the show has Best abstaining from sex for 50 days, as his friends try to trip him up with tender traps. Each week Best will undergo a lie-detector test to see how he fared.
Is the always sexually charged Lindsay Lohan part of the plan to ensnare Calum?
If Best wants to win the 50-day bet, he and Lindsay will just have to find non-carnal ways to pass the time—if they get together.
Like mocking Samantha Ronson behind her back.

In a sign of emerging trust among trustees, members of the School District 2 school board agreed Monday to retool the board's committee structure in an effort to govern more effectively.
Trustees waxed for close to 90 minutes about the board's organization during a special meeting on the topic, ultimately deciding to divide their responsibilities among a series of committees.
For the last few years, the SD2 board has functioned as a "committee of the whole" in which all nine members served together on various committees.
The approach, which stemmed in part from distrust among prior boards, has since become burdensome and confusing, trustees said.
"I feel like the full board in the current structure is at the same time overloaded with work and information and also overwhelmed," said trustee Kevin Toohill, who participated by video conference.
The board's ability to think in terms of the big picture has suffered as a result, board chair Allen Halter said.
"I think there's been a little bit of lack of vision and strategic planning and board goals," Halter said. "I don't think I even know what our board goals are."
Rob Rogers said the "committee of the whole" setup has also alienated community members, who haven't had a participating role on SD2 board committees in recent years.
Instead, three board members will now serve on each of three committees — performance monitoring, stakeholder and planning/development — and will then report back on their work to the full board during regular meetings. The makeup and scope of each committee was not determined Monday.
"If we have a shared vision, and we trust each other, we should be able to have committees," trustee Teresa Stroebe said.

geographical nameCity (pop., 2004 est.: 149,000), east-central France. The site has been occupied from pre-Roman times. It became the capital of the duchy of Burgundy in 1015 and prospered under the Valois dynasty (1364–1477). Louis XI annexed the city in the late 15th century. Its historic buildings include a 13th-century church and 14th-century town hall (the former palace of the dukes of Burgundy). Its university was founded in 1722. A market and tourist centre, it is still known for its food products (e.g., mustard, vinegar, and gingerbread).

Severe Acne Pore Cleanser Foam contains 5% benzoyl peroxide, but, micronized or not, this anti-acne superstar is of little use to skin when formulated in a cleanser. The active's contact with skin is too brief to work well, though it can be of some help. The problem is that you don't want to apply benzoyl peroxide around your eyes, so this isn't a good option for removing eye makeup. Also, the mousse-like texture of this cleanser makes it tricky to use because it tends to slide right off wet hands before you can massage it around your face.
As a cleanser, this works OK and is fairly gentle, though it contains a fragrance ingredient (farnesol) that poses a risk of irritation. Otherwise, this is suitable for normal to dry or combination skin.
Note: The inactive ingredients for this product are listed in alphabetical rather than descending order. This is permissible because the product is regulated as an over-the-counter drug. Although many companies selling OTC skin-care products have begun listing their ingredients in this manner, it doesn't make it any easier for the consumer to determine how much of a given ingredient they're applying to their skin.
For severe acne. Formulated with a unique foam that absorbs fast and penetrates deep to kill 99% of acne bacteria without irritating.
Active Ingredient: Benzoyl Peroxide 5%, Inactive Ingredients: Bakuchiol, Benzalkonium Chloride, Bisabolol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Alcohol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Farnesol, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Isobutane, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate. Methylisothiazolinone, Naringenin, Panthenyl Triacetate, PEG-100 Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Polyethylene, Propane, Sea Whip Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Stearic Acid, Water, Xanthan Gum
AcneFree is a small group of skin-care products sold in sets. As you may have guessed from the brand name, this is a line that's all about treating acne. You'll find this brand in most major drugstores, but it's not the acne treatment system to beat!
Owned by University Medical Pharmaceuticals, you'd think these products would be a slam-dunk for acne, but they're not. Although the kits contain some good products, all of them feature at least one product that's not effective for its intended purpose or contains irritating ingredients that will make your acne worse.
Just because the company claims these kits (systems) are the #1 best-selling in America doesn't mean they work; rather, it means that a lot of consumers with acne are buying the wrong products. We understand the frustration of struggling with breakouts. You want something that works to get rid of them, and the faster the better. It would be great if AcneFree could make good on all of its promises, but it simply doesn't, at least not 100%.

Whether to put Exchange server in DMZ or internal network
We use an SMTP relay that sits in front of our Exchange 5.5 server. This product does some filtering, blocking and archiving for regulatory compliance. Right now it is inside the firewall, but we recongnize the need to put this machine in a DMZ area.
Continue Reading This Article
Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
By submitting you agree to receive email communications from TechTarget and its partners. Privacy Policy Terms of Use.
The internal debate is whether or not the Exchange server itself should go in the DMZ or stay in the internal network. One side says put Exchange (5.5, but moving to 2K) in the DMZ to eliminate traffic from the outside to the inside. The other side of the debate feels that puts sensitive information closer to the edge of the network and that the data is safer on the inside.
Can you offer any suggestions to help us break the deadlock?
Deadlock broken: Put the relay in the DMZ and leave the Exchange server in protected space.

Hi all
I got this plant from a local brom collector. It may be a bi-gen....not sure. Top view Side View: the leaves are "wavy" and very thick/hard. Any ideas? Dennis |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by kerry_t_australia 9 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 13, 08 at 3:01
No idea, Dennis. Although those wavy leaves could suggest Ae. orlandiana in its parentage? I like the two-tone green stripes. K |
I though the same..orlandiana or Bert? There are faint dark bands like both of the above. Lemon and lime would be a good name! |
Is it xCanmea 'Galaxy'? |
trcwj it may well be...just looked at pic on FCBS. Colour is a bit off but maybe I need to move it to some sun? |
It looks to me like there's probably some Ae. chantinii genes there. Could be a cross with orlandiana, or with a canistrum. How about xCanmea Smokey? |
Hmmmm smokey it may be...just a marginated form. I took the pic after the rain so what you dont see is that both sides of the leaf have that grey scruf ..... the mother plant is big....and has the shape of Ae rubens but maybe 3/4 the size. |
Hi All, It looks different from my XCanmea Galaxy. My plant has darker band. I agree with Lisa. It should be XCanmea Smoky the same grex of XCanmea Galaxy. That's very nice variegated variety. Cheers |
Hi Yong Thanks, I agree. We will only know it is when we see the flower! Cheers Dennis |

"Fast, but confusing and not free"
Loaded and diffed files faster than other tools tested.
In the trial version many of the lines in the files are collapsed down.
In many of my diffs there were three dots (. . .) for lines 30 to 300 in a diff.
Does this mean they are the same?
There are indicators of differences in the right of the screen, but clicking does nothing, so you cannot determine where in the file the diffs are.
Lastly, the program cannot handle line diffs. If something is the same line-by-line, but a few lines are in a different order in one file, the tool marks the files as being different.
WinDiff and others can sense this and tell you that the lines are off but that the file is otherwise the same.
Cannot seem to determine 'difference in whitespace only'.

Yes, the ... indicate folded views of matching lines. The default option settings show file compares like this for files over 400,000 bytes. You can change this option and save your settings. double-clicking on the the folded view displays the matching lines. This in well documented in Guiffy's Help.
The scroll meters on each side of the vertical scroll bar indicate where differences are in the file. Double clicking on the point in the scroll meter will position the compare view to that point in the file compare view. This is well documented in Guiffy's Help.
Guiffy handle's line differences such as you mentioned as well as any other file compare tool - when applying the default minimum lines of difference algorithm. Sounds like you selected the alternative minimum block of difference algorithm. An unique, advanced feature of Guiffy is it includes 3 compare algorithms: 1 for good file line compare views, 1 for Trustworthy 3-way auto merges, 1 for user tune-able inline differences highlighting. This is all well documented in Guiffy's Help.
Guiffy has an advanced option for ignoring Whitespace differences by type: Leading, Embedded, and/or Trailing. Again, this is well documented in Guiffy's Help.
Yes, Guiffy SureMerge is not free. But it has many advanced features such as: Trustworthy 3-way merging, Cross-platform support(Windows, Linux, MacOS), File Encoding support(UTF8, UTF16, SJIS, Big5, etc.), Command Line Interface, and an API package. Plus documented and supported integation with all the leading SCM products.

I went ahead and filled kegs with brew (after cleaning and sanitizing of course). Went ahead and bled off pressure to release any oxygen and the regulator went immediately to zero. I waited a day thinking the pressure would build up again...it did not. I attempted to pour and nothing came out as was expected. I messed around with the pressure thingy you turn with a screwdriver and the pressure shot up again. I poured a beer and the pressure went down about 2lbs on the gauge. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Will the pressure build up to 12lbs? Thanks! -By the way the beer has only been in the kegs for two days
OK, I'll try to figure out what's wrong...let me know if I go off base... When you first apply pressure to the keg you released the pressure to purge air out of it, correct? What pressure setting did you have on the gage, 12? Then you poured a beer and it dropped to 2, right? Then you should have put the gage back up to 12. Incidentally, at what point did you try to carbonate the beer? What psi, temperature and time period did you use? There are many, many ways this could have been done, but most commonly is either the "shaking" method or the "set it and forget it" method. The "shaking" method is just that. First you purge the air out then set the gage for anywhere between 20 and 40 spi then start shaking the bejesus out of it to get the CO2 absorbed by the liquid. I prefer to roll mine on my lap or on the table/counter top...inlet side down. You use more CO2 when the beer is warmer/room temp than if it's already cold. With the "set it and forget it" method you place the keg in the fridge to get (and keep) cold and set the gage for 12 psi for about a week. Have you figured out where you went wrong yet?
-Correct. I purged air out of the kegs -This is the first time I've kegged so, I dialed the pressure in to read 12 -When I poured the beer it dropped 2lbs (I'm assuming the gauge is reading pounds of pressure) to 10lbs overall -Does this mean I need to dial in the pressure everytime I pour? I'm not sure what you mean when you ask when I tried to carbonate the beer (I'm brand new to this) so I'll assume you mean when the beer is done fermenting. After that I figured I would just put the beer in the keg, adjust the pressure and set it and forget it...a week later beer is magically carbonated. I have the temp. at 38 and the psi at 12lbs. I don't plan on force carbing the beer but I have 2 kegs and might try it with one. Thanks!

SAN DIEGO and NEW YORK, May 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights attorneys at Robbins Arroyo LLP announce that a shareholder of Delcath Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCTH) filed a federal securities fraud class action complaint on May 8, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that Delcath and certain of its officers and directors violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 between April 21, 2010 and May 2, 2013 (the "Class Period"). Delcath operates as a specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company focusing on the field of oncology. The company's technology enables the administration of high-dose chemotherapy and other therapeutic agents to diseased organs or regions of the body. The allegations in question concern a drug-device combination product, the Melblez Kit, which is designed to administer concentrated regional chemotherapy for patients suffering from unresectable ocular melanoma metastatic to the liver.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130103/MM36754LOGO)
Delcath Accused of Making False and Misleading Statements Concerning the Company's Business, Operations, and Prospects
According to the complaint, certain officers and directors at Delcath made materially false and misleading statements during the Class Period and failed to disclose material adverse facts about Delcath's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Delcath submitted a New Drug Application ("NDA") to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") for the Melblez Kit which failed to disclose severe toxicity and deaths associated with the drug's adverse reactions. Further, Delcath failed to disclose that the company's manufacturing facilities were in violation of the FDA's Current Good Manufacturing Practices.
The Truth Is Revealed and Delcath's Stock Price Drops On February 22, 2011, Delcath disclosed that it received a "refusal to file" letter from the FDA for its NDA. The letter "requested information involving manufacturing plant inspection timing, product and sterilization validations and additional safety information ... as well as additional statistical analysis clarification." On this news, Delcath's share price dropped $4.29—or 38%—to close at $7.01 per share on February 22, 2011. On April 30, 2013, the FDA published briefing documents ahead of a meeting by its Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee ("ODAC"). The documents stated that the evidence of the Melblez Kit's effectiveness is inadequate, and noted that well-controlled clinical trials and a favorable benefit-risk profile are required for approval. The documents also revealed that 7% of the 122 patients treated with the Melblez Kit died as a result of the treatment. On this news, Delcath's share price declined $0.558—or over 40%—to close at $0.832 per share on April 30, 2013. On May 2, 2013, Delcath also announced that the ODAC voted 16 to 0 that the benefits of treatment with the Melblez Kit do not outweigh the associated risks. On this news, Delcath's share price declined another $0.3326 or nearly 42%. Overall, after the news of the "refusal to file" letter first reached the market on February 22, 2011, Delcath's share price plummeted from $11.30 per share to close at a mere $0.46 per share on May 3, 2013—a decline of nearly 96%. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Delcath stock during the Class Period and wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must act no later than July 8, 2013. To discuss your shareholder rights, please contact attorney Darnell R. Donahue at (800) 350-6003, firstname.lastname@example.com, or via the shareholder information form on the firm's website. Robbins Arroyo LLP is a nationally recognized leader in securities litigation and shareholder rights law.

bluesky999 Posts: 253Indy, Quiet, Otto, thx for the input on your maintenance. It amazes me that some of the LH components from the previous gen were lasting close to 200K and still going strong. Wow, if CHrysler could only do such a great job w/their electrical components. Also, I remembered after I made this post that I did a similar canvassing for info some months back, which a lot of people responded to. Sorry for the repeat; I think my memory needs to be recharged.
Blowbyu, I'm glad you weren't hurt seriously. It really makes me angry when I see people running stop signs and red lights; they really put the rest of us at risk. -

tinted windows
side markers
clock mod
spark plugs
chrome grill
wood kit
and some other stuff im sure, lol.. with this one im not sure what all ill do but i know the clock and k&n/sparks are on the list to do hopefully this weekend
im excited! -
pster Posts: 293Don't want to tie up board with too much Honda talk, but my wife and I actually test drove the Element! INCREDIBLE about-town-do-anything-utility vehicle! Only downside I found, and a big one, was that you have to open the front door AND unlatch your safety belt to open the rear doors. Otherwise, this is the PERFECT blend of utility and function...it would have been for my wife to replace her 2002 Sebring LXi, which with 0% financing is just about upside down. The big 3 have totally destroyed trade-in values with all their rebates and incentives! We're still looking at lots of different vehicles...no final choices yet. We've decided to replace both the 300M and the Sebring. FYI, there is not one pic in the Element brochure of anyone over 25 years old..yet the average buyer is 40+!!!!

phases78 Posts: 471i went to the 300m club page but i dont think im still registered, so ill just stick here for now..
so today assuming all goes well ill get my clock face done. weather is bad so thats probably all i'll get done, but i had plans to strip the logos off the trunk lid, at least the dealer one. not sure what all i can afford to do right now so im tryin to knock out all the cheaper things, k&n, plugs, etc etc..
p.s. you know what does suck tho, the passenger seat's recline button doesnt work. seat goes up all the way but not down. so now its straight up. grrrr -
ottowrkr Posts: 778blowbyu- sorry to hear about your accident . Like others have said , good to hear your OK . You can get a new car , not a life.
Now what pillars the bodyshop is talking about ? the ones that hold the front windsheild in? So the guy said they can be replaced , I am sure they can but not very easily . As the car is unibody the strength comes from the shell of the car , cutting the pillars off and welding in new ones is going to be a very big and $$$ expensive job. Make sure the shop has all the newest tools to do the job right. Not just some guy with a welder . -
sleepymw Posts: 65Hi everyone. Long time no post. Been very busy. HOpe all is doing well.
I am looking to replace my current tires. Thinking of getting Toyo tires but wasn't sure what the "experts" thinks of them. Anyone that has had experience with these tires, please write me at firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know what you think.
Will stop in again to see the posts. Oh! and any suggestions on tires for Mary would be greatly appreciated.
Bye for now.

silverbullet4 Posts: 449Phases, glad you made it back safely and sorry you totaled the hayabusa. Were you injured?
Sleepy, don't know the Toyo tire. I put on 17" Yokohama 420's (V rated) to replace the original Michelin Pilot's. So far they are quieter, and it feels like they have a little softer compound. And a LOT cheaper! -
bluesky999 Posts: 253Phases, thx for putting your life on the line to fight the terrorists. It's a long, difficult, expensive battle but one that must be fought. You should be proud for serving your country.
Pster; that's interesting that you were impressed by an SUV. As a note, the Saturn VUE has an upgrade engine, which is the Honda engine put in the MDX. Don't know how that deal was worked. Just remember, if you get an SUV don't go whaling around corners like you did in your M--don't want to read here about you rolling off some cliff.
Sleepy, re/tires, manufacturers are now making high performance tires that perform well in the snow, doing away with the necessity of 2 sets of tires. If you go to tirerack.com, the two they rate the highest are the Pirelli PZero Nero and I think the Continental Extreme Contact was second. Consumer Reports also has some real good reviews if you've purchased an online subscription. After a few more thousand miles, I'll be getting new rubber also. One of the most important considerations to me is the location where I get them, so I have easy access for rotations and fixing of any flats; you might have similar concerns. -
easyrider300m Posts: 1,116do your best to get it totalled---sounds like too much damage to me----make sure they give you full book value for it if they total it----see what they are selling for in your area and also see what Kelly bluebook and the NADA book lists it for in good condition. If they total it, they will probably try to lowball the value. Get the most you can and then go negotiate on another one in good conditon with reasonable miles. Just have a new purchase thoroughly checked out by a mechanic and bodyshop.
Glad to hear your're OK---that's the main thing---cars are replaceable, your good health is not. Good luck -
sleepymw Posts: 65for the warm welcome..
I certainly will consider the yoko's. someone wrote me and hated the toyo tires, so, i'm steering away from them now.
If anyone has any other suggestions on tires that they have personal experience with, please let me know before i plunge into 4 wheels and find out that they are horrible.
Not that I would ever dream of benefiting from someone's mistake.. BUT.. if the mistake was ALREADY MADE... *grins*..
Glad to be back! -

pster Posts: 293The "have to open the front door to get the back door open" on the Element is too big a hassle....it would have been my wife's car anyway. My 300M is making some really weird noises in the engine bay now....I'm just not going to worry about it until something breaks, again. Sounds like the cooling fan motors or possibly A/C compressor is failing, again. Otherwise the car still drives nice and I continue to be totally impressed with the lack of rattles and the like at 60K miles. Still a tight car for its age.
scottjohnson Posts: 61I put Toyos on my M earlier this year, but I went with the TPT in the original size. Supposed to be an all season tire with good wet handling. Haven't had much driving in wet yet but it is like driving a new car compared to the OEM Goodyears. My only complaint is they were $$$, nearly the same cost as Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. The Yokos are much cheaper.
cinquita Posts: 6In short I was just talking about the lousy stereo system in my 2004M my 99 was great. Can't live w/it as is & know zip about radios/speakers etc. Reception has alot of static and overall radio/cd sound is lousy, may as well listen to the traffic. Don't care about 11 or 9 speakers (11 was really only 9 they now admit per intrepidspirit) just want to listen to some tunes again. I don't know whether it's the speaker system or the stereo equipment. Dealer/Chrysler admit zero knowledge or concern. What you have for sale - $$$ ??? Have knowledge on connection match? Tryed a switch at dealer to stereo w/equalizer - no match. I know this subject is getting old - but I'm not giving it up. I can't get no Satisfaction.
ruski Posts: 1,566I went to a Chrysler Route 2003 test drive event in South Florida, in the parking lot of the Marlins ball park.
They had Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep areas.
I spent most of the time at the Chrysler area.
They had a pretty tight course laid out with cones, plus a little drag strip with a stop sign at the end - first you are supposed to floor the gas pedal then floor the brakes and try to stop at the stop sign.
First I drove automatic Crossfire. Not bad. Actually it looks better to watch when someone else is driving. From a driver point of view it is very nice but could sure use some more HP.
Then I drove a 300M special two times. Most people drove it like a granny. I drove it like it is meant to be driven and made the Chrysler reps nervous in the passenger seat.
I think I liked 300M Special better than the Crossfire. It was easier for me to maneuver around the cones. Maybe because I am very used to 300M.

Cummins and Cummins Westport are recalling just over 25,000 Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines manufactured Sep. 12, 2007 through Feb. 2, 2014 and Cummins Westport Model ISX12 G engines manufactured Feb. 19, 2013, through Feb. 2, 2014.
Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor. The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
Cummins and Cummins Westport dealers will upload a new ECM calibration, free of charge, to remedy the problem.
The two companies began notifying the affected vehicle manufacturers on Feb. 14. The manufacturers have not yet provided a schedule for notifying vehicle owners.
For more information, call 1-800-343-7357. Cummins' number for this recall is C1462 for ISL G engines and C1461 for ISX12 G engines.
Cummins Westport is a 50-50 joint venture formed in 2001 between Cummins and Westport Innovations.
Yet another reason, in addition to Cummins and Westport cancelling or indefinitely postponing their development of a 15 liter NG engine, and multiple other factors, that customers in the heavy duty / long haul cartage market are flocking toward American Power Group's V5000HD diesel/natural gas conversion....which you (Heavy Duty Trucking) also noted as one of the top 20 developments in trucking for 2014.Large, detailed articles on APG and this technology at Seeking Alpha under ticker symbol APGI and author " Odaat "Best,Odaat

Tips for Improving Your Mindset
The Law of Attraction isn't just a myth. Maybe people believe in the notion that if you put good energy and thoughts out into the universe on a daily basis, that is what you'll receive in return. Putting this into practice is easier said than done but that doesn't mean you can't give it a shot, especially if you've been down in the dumps lately or recognize that negative thinking has taken too strong of a hold in your life lately.
The steps it takes to improve one's mindset in order to think more positively doesn't produce results overnight. The greatest challenge with changing or improving mindset is that it takes time but requires constant effort on a regular basis. Below are just a few tips for ways to introduce more positive thinking into your life:
Evaluate & Identify Negativity
Organizing your thoughts is an effective way to identify the negative sources in your life. Doing this can be as simple as jotting down the things that bother you, make you angry and/or could otherwise ruin a perfectly good day. Don't over think this part, write down the first things that come to mind. Now review what you've written. Are there any trends or patterns? If so, find out what it is about those things that causes you to become so negative. Were there any common behaviors or actions that seem to always lead to those results? Then that means figuring out a way to tweak or change those behaviors or actions so that they produce better, more positive results.
For example, do you hate confrontation but constantly find yourself engaging in a heated debate or argument with a friend or loved one that leaves you feeling irritable, upset and downtrodden? The source of it might be something in the relationship you have with those certain individuals or something in their personality (or yours) that seems to keep adding fuel to the fire. Whatever it is, change it so that it doesn't continue to become a bad experience. Whether they means walking away or taking space from that person, try different methods to see if a different outcome happens.
Learn Accountability
Oftentimes we are our own worst enemies, yet we fail to realize it. The fastest way to begin bringing more positivity into your life starts with you. Recognize your flaws and shortcomings--not so that you'll feel bad about yourself--but so that you can find ways to turn those things around for the better. When you can identify the change that needs to occur and see it as a step towards progress, you're already inviting the Law of Attraction to start working in your life.
Make Positive Thinking Automatic

More reviews by sarahbella1012
I have looked for this product - in Sun Light - for MONTHS and of course I find it now, in October. It leaves a nice, light bronze glow (now that my summer color is gone - NW20 skin), without all the shimmer. I prefer it to my Milani bronzer AND my Shiseido bronzer. For $3.27 at Meijer, you can't go wrong. UPDATE: 3/31/06 - The Milani bronzer in Touch O Sun blows this away and is my new HG!
Produces only the slightest hint of color - too minimal. The packaging is awful too - cap does not screw back on correctly so it's hard to travel with this one. It's dirt cheap (and even cheaper for me since I bought it in Argentina!) but not worth it. I will go back to Estee Lauder for my bronzer.
I've been using this bronzer everyday for a year now and I'm just now starting to see the metal bottom of the case. I apply it to my cheeks, nose and shoulders with a big blusher and it helps to give me a warm, healthy glow. I use more in the summer, to accent and even-out my tan and to warm-up my face in the winter. My only wish is that the lid to the compact was "snap-on" and not "screw-on"... that's just a pet-peeve of mine with all compact-cases. Otherwise, it's a very good, and cheap (under $10) product and I will definitely buy it again & again!
This bronzer is pretty good....the best i have found so far at least. Be careful not to use too much as you can end up looking orange! I learnt that the hard way!!! Anyway, if i use a tiny amount i get a nice colour. By the way, my skin is slightly tanned. Bit shimmery for my liking too, but not as bad a s some i have tried. Overall: Good product.
More reviews by thechesirekitty
this bronzer gives my skin this awesome glowy look without being to bronze or cakey. i wish it came with an applicator, but at least i get to use my own natural bristle brush to apply it. only slight complaint was the tiny bits of glitter i could see in the packaging, but they don't show up on your skin at all. HG bronzer.
P.S. i have oily skin with largish pores and this also minimizes my pores without settling in them.
Excellent bronzer! I have Sun Light (the lightest shade) and it looks very natural on my NW20 skin. Such a bargain at only $3, I will definitely repurchase if I ever run out.
I find this bronzer goes on kind of streaky. I like the fact that it has an SPF of 8 though, but it's nothing special.
A great natural looking bronzer, perfect for that sunkissed look. It has also lasted me ages.
I also think it's cute that it has a sun printed on the powder lol.
I only use bronzer for when I go out in the night or as a blusher substitute, so take that into account. The colour I have is 'sun bronze' I think , and worked well for my medium olive, light medium in winter or when im being a recluse :p, but anyway the colour was better than a few more expensive bronzers I tried in the summer, more natural. Though I don't put on so much bronzer my skin tone is suddenly a shade or two darker, I just use a very little. I havent experimented with that and it could look really bad if you use it heavily for all I know. It is very smooth applicating and blends well, easy to get off if you accidentally put too much on. Most bronzers will cause an allergic reaction for me, I dont know what they put in the stuff, but they do. This was ok for me, but then like I said, I hardly ever use bronzer. It also has a small amount of SPF, which is nice!

Parental advisory: apply childhood lessons when purchasing agent E&O insurance.
Stop making that face or it will stay like that." We all remember admonishments we heard as children. But those same words can be applied to agent and broker errors & omissions insurance. For an agent, insurance is both bought and sold. It is vital to make sure agents purchase the best coverage for their businesses.Here are some lessons from our childhood that may help.
Do as I say, not as I do
Insurance agents and brokers pride themselves on their abilities to sell the proper coverage to their clients that will cover all of their exposures. But for themselves, too often agents settle for insurance that is adequate, but may not offer coverage for all of their exposures. This is not due to carelessness Carelessness
See also Forgetfulness, Irresponsibility, Laziness.
sings through summer, overlooking winter preparations. [Gk. Lit. . The market is ever-changing and as a result, insuring agreements are updated and sometimes new exclusions are added to the forms list. This makes it imperative to read every form thoroughly and never take renewals at face value. Otherwise, a policy that has remained silent concerning a particular exposure for years may suddenly exclude it on the current policy with no notice, leaving an agent inadequately covered.
Conversely con·verse 1
intr.v. con·versed, con·vers·ing, con·vers·es
1. To engage in a spoken exchange of thoughts, ideas, or feelings; talk. See Synonyms at speak.
2. , enhancements may be made to forms or endorsements, adding on coverage that may be available by carriers not currently covering the agent. These enhancements or endorsements may cover small exposures the agent has, but does not currently have coverage for. This also leads to inadequate coverage, leaving the agent with the possibility of paying outof-pocket on a claim for an exposure they thought they had coverage for but didn't.
If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump, too?
Every insurance agency has unique exposures. Some primarily handle commercial lines of business, some handle personal lines and still others may specialize spe·cial·ize
1. To limit one's profession to a particular specialty or subject area for study, research, or treatment.
2. To adapt to a particular function or environment. in specialty lines. Some act as a third-party administrator while others may employ a notary public A public official whose main powers include administering oaths and attesting to signatures, both important and effective ways to minimize Fraud in legal documents. . Because of those differences, a one-size-fits-all approach to E&O is not a good one. Each insuring agreement carries its own definition of what should be covered under an agent's E&O policy, so it is important to read the insuring agreement for each quote offered.
Exposures also are reviewed by carriers to assist in determining premium. Carriers weigh different lines of business heavier than others, but not all carriers weigh them the same. While one increases rate on a specialty line of business, others give a rate credit. Some offer coverage to MGAs. Some include independent contractors at no charge and some charge an additional premium. A carrier that has a form that may work for one agent may be an ill fit for another.
Don't talk to strangers
Insurance agents and brokers know their clients well, but how well do they know the insurers that supply their own E&O insurance? Just as an agent will go the extra mile to ensure every aspect of the business is covered for a client they know well, the agent's agent or carrier will do the same if they have a good relationship. When it comes to E&O coverage, the insurance agent is someone's client. And just as the agent needs to become familiar with his clients to provide service to the best of his ability, his agent or carrier will need to do the same for him.
Communication is key. It provides a clearer understanding of the agent's exposures, leading to a selection of the best coverage available. Without it, the agent's exposures remain unknown and his servicer will operate on minimal information, potentially leaving the agent with expenses that could have been covered if the communication channels had been opened.
Wear clean underwear in case you get into an accident
Claims happen to even the best agents, so be prepared. Knowing exactly what is covered by a policy is important, but knowing the protocol for reporting the claim is equally as important. Each carrier handles claims differently. Are claims made, or claims made and reported? This is not information that is foreign to agents, but they often apply it to their client, not necessarily to themselves.
Often overlooked, know where to send notice of the claim. Some carriers have an email address See Internet address. , some a post office box, and others request notice be sent to the agent or wholesaler instead of directly to the carrier. Are the claims handled by an adjuster? Or is each policy and claim reviewed by counsel? Carriers vary on claims handling, so this should factor on the coverage choice. Some carriers even have claims professionals that are dedicated to different types of insurance, making it easier for the claim to be understood by the person handling it.
Look both ways before you cross the street
Agents need to be aware of their surroundings. Staying abreast of the ever-changing information in the insurance world is important. The market is fluid and carriers move in and out of certain spaces almost on a weekly basis. Agent E&O has not seen many carriers bow out at this time, but as the market hardens, that will change. Markets with staying power are less likely to move in and out of the E&O space. Look to these markets for stability and to prevent replacing coverage each year as markets bow out. Being caught by surprise by a market closing a division or non-renewing all policies of a certain line of business can cause huge headaches at renewal time. The goal is to contrast and compare terms to obtain the best terms possible, not to replace out of necessity.
Don't run with scissors
Being careful is one of the best things an agent can do. First, agents need to carefully fill out the application. Every agent knows questions will follow if an application is not fully completed. In addition, some carriers warrant the application to the policy. If inconsistencies exist between the agent's true exposures and what is listed on the application, the agent may not have adequate coverage. Second, agents need to sit down and carefully read the forms included with the E&O quote. If none were provided, request them. This may seem like a no-brainer, but skimming Skimming
An electronic method of capturing a victim's personal information used by identity thieves. The skimmer is a small device that scans a credit card and stores the information contained in the magnetic strip. a policy can lead to missed information such as exclusions and enhancements. Finally, after coverage decisions have been made and bound, the agent must read the policy to make sure it matches what was quoted. This step simply cannot be missed. Policies may have mistakes that could prove costly to an agent if a claim were to arise.
Clean your room
Organization is an important step with dealing with E&O coverage. Not only do agents need to enure TO ENURE. To take, or have effect or serve to the use, benefit, or advantage of a person. The word is often written inure. A release to the tenant for life, enures to him in reversion; that is, it has the same effect for him as for the tenant for life. that their businesses are organized, they must ensure that their policies are as well. Insuring agreements, state forms, endorsements, exclusions and warranted applications can get out of hand if an agent is not careful. In addition, some policies are easier to read and contain less erroneous erroneous adj. 1) in error, wrong. 2) not according to established law, particularly in a legal decision or court ruling. information. The last thing an agent wants to do is sift through pages of endorsements and exclusions to see if something is or is not covered not covered Health care adjective Referring to a procedure, test or other health service to which a policy holder or insurance beneficiary is not entitled under the terms of the policy or payment system–eg, Medicare. Cf Covered. when a claim is knocking on the door.
Many carriers have become skilled at minimizing and cleaning up their forms and insuring agreements. This gives them the advantage of knowing exactly where to direct agents in case of a question. It also assists the agent in finding information, which builds confidence in the carrier. The more concise the carrier, the more efficient they can appear to policy holders.
You get what you pay for
Sometimes you have to pay for the right coverage. When times get hard, insurance is often one of the first things First Things is a monthly ecumenical journal concerned with the creation of a "religiously informed public philosophy for the ordering of society" (First Things website). to suffer. For insurance agents, insurance is not something they can go without, but it may be tempting to buy less expensive coverage, even though it may not cover all the exposures or have sufficiently high limits. The temptation is even greater when the agent has not had any claims or circumstances CIRCUMSTANCES, evidence. The particulars which accompany a fact.
2. The facts proved are either possible or impossible, ordinary and probable, or extraordinary and improbable, recent or ancient; they may have happened near us, or afar off; they are public or that could result in a claim. This sense of security is false. Every insurance agent knows the purpose of insurance is to transfer risk--so why transfer part of it back by under-insuring an agency? Claims can happen when least expected, and may happen in an area of business that is neglected by insurance. For the average agent, a $1 million loss, if not adequately covered, could bankrupt BANKRUPT. A person who has done, or suffered some act to be done, which is by law declared an act of bankruptcy; in such case he may be declared a bankrupt.

It is imperative to weigh each additional cost against the enhancement offered, bearing in mind what it will do and how it will respond in the worst-case scenario worst-case scenario n → Schlimmstfallszenario nt . Is a small increase in premium too much to adequately cover the independent contractors at an agency? Is the less expensive quote worth leaving out coverage for a third-party administrator when an agency provides those services? The answer is yes, only if the intent is to self-insure those exposures instead of transferring the risk to a carrier.

Land Rover did a great job styling the RR Sport: its beefy, sporty appearance goes perfectly with its clearly Land Rover look. I also agree with Amy about the expansive glass; couple the big windows with the fact that this vehicle sits up so high and you can look straight across the cabin at truckers while you're cruising down the highway. Evan may not dig the cozy cabin, but I actually love the intimate, sporty driving position, particularly compared with the commodious full-flavor Range Rover.
The air suspension rides nicely over the parking-garage speed bumps, but the handling is what's most impressive about the Range Rover Sport. Despite its school-bus steering wheel, the Sport handles much better than any 5700-pound brick has any right to. In early 2007, I bombed around in a similar vehicle on the excellent roads of Texas Hill Country for a feature story, and this Landie was quite impressive.

I understand that some may be too scared to hang glide, so I'm here to offer an alternative: the StreetFlyer.
This crazy contraption created by Dr. Carsten Mehring is essentially a carbon-fiber bicycle that gives you the illusion of flight. Instead of pedaling, you start by pushing off, and as it gains momentum, you place yourself into a horizontal gliding position as you cruise down the streets. Imagine how insanely fun riding the Streetflyer down a San Francisco street would be!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
IRAN/SYRIA/EGYPT - Iran president says Obama's language "very negative"

President Ahmadinezhad has said that the language of the American
president is very negative and unpalatable for most people, the Islamic
Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported on 24 September.
Ahmadinezhad made the remarks in a meeting with "the American elite" on
the sidelines of the UN's 66th General Assembly. He said: "The language
of the American president in our region is extremely negative. When the
head of the American government decides on the fate of the people of
Egypt, Syria and Palestine, there will be negative repercussions because
of the historical pessimism of the people of the region towards America.
A few people may agree with such a language but it is not agreeable to
the masses. "
Responding to a question on the establishment of a warning system in the
Persian Gulf to prevent a possible clash between Iranian and American
forces, Ahmadinezhad said: "Iran welcomes setting up of a warning system
between the military forces of the two countries. However, it would be
better if the American warships and forces left the Persian Gulf. We
believe this would be in America's interest unless there are certain
individuals, who define America's economy based on militarism."
Ahmadinezhad welcomed a proposal on the investment of the American
companies in Iran, saying: "Iran welcomes the presence of companies from
all countries including America for investment in all fields and regards
in the interest of friendship between nations."
