Over the past five years I've taken on the mantle of karaoke nerd (I will also answer to diva), and I've really enjoyed performing the karaoke tracks which I bought from your website and persuaded various KJs to import. "First of May" tends to get me some funny looks, and despite the disclaimer, I've yet to be punched in the nose after singing it./
Do you have plans to release any new karaoke tracks? Is there any chance that "Still Alive" will get one, or does Valve own those rights?
What about more sheet music?
My windows toaster is hardware accelerated.
I bet it's that damn FireWire.
Getting paid to do what you do for fun sounds like a good deal.
I need to work out a way to get paid for cleaning up mistakes on Wikipedia.
Possibly favourite Liverpool players, so Torres would obviously not be an option and Carroll would be the system which gets the lowest hits.....
Yeah, doesn't that one run headerless?
Hey, no howling from this quarter. I'm still using my Treo 650 and I have a spare in reserve for when this one dies. It may not be fashionable, but it's a great tool for doing what I need - keeping contacts, notes, and calendar and syncing them with standalone Outlook. Many newer phones won't do that at all, or require you to take a roundabout route through Windows Live or Exchange.
Pertinent to the OP, the Treo is grandfathered in with Verizon and doesn't require you to buy a data plan. It does just fine with calling and SMS (though I have run into some problems with MMS).
We don't have odometers. We have mileometers.
That's ridiculous. What do you do when you need to measure René Auberjonois?
Now how do we get Fries Electronics nation wide?
Persuade McDonalds to start including smartphones and mp3 players in their Happy Meals?
I agree-- the best type of HDSM is industrial grade.
That's when you have one of the guys from Skinny Puppy do it.

This is not like a bachelor party. It is a party for my boss lady's five year old son. Of course she thinks that she does not pay enough attention to him and so the party is going to be a bit over the top in my opinion. She is having it out in the country at this little park and so she shall have a petting zoo and a magician. I hired them, the name of the place is emagical moment. Of course I thought that was quite lame, but they checked out. Of course I did want to hire a random magician to appear at this party and then find out there was some reason why I should not have. I found some people who would be able to tell me in person if he was any good or not. (more…)
You would not believe what my boss asked of me the other day. Our business is a small one that doesn't have a lot of money right now. They're working right now on gathering a client base while spreading out into this local market. They've got a lot of challenges before them so I understand that they may want to take shortcuts but my boss actually asked me to illegally download this scan speeder photo scanning software! I was shocked that he would even consider something like that. A programmer spent a lot of time and energy in order to make that software, working as hard as my boss to make his company successful.
I told him straight up that it was something that I was not interested in doing. (more…)
For those of us who were finding success via YouTube thanks to the popularity of the "Let's Play" genre of videos, a genre which was backed many in the Game Design and Publishing industry, the introduction to the automated bot program which removed or out right shut down profiles was a huge hit. For someone like me who was bringing in a five figure income every month, the loss of this revenue was a blow to my confidence as well as my finances. It forced me to buy twitch viewers as well as move my entire operation over to Twitch itself.
I will admit this; despite the trouble YouTube caused myself and my fellow Gamers, I have embraced Twitch with open arms. (more…)
I went out to the lot today and waited on ambit energy in sherman TX to set up the electricity for the job site. Of course we have no house yet, instead I have a wreck of an old trailer home that I got in exchange for moving it. It is not fit for anyone to live in, but I am just going to use it as a place to store my tools and other stuff. The lot is about three and a quarter acres in all. (more…)
So, you are a new homeowner here in Deer Park, Texas and do not really know what to do when it comes to homeowners insurance. Well, there are some basic things that you will have to look at. First, you will need to look at homeowners insurance companies, finding one that fits your need. Next you will have to worry about your rates, and not taking advantage of the many discounts available to you will cost you a ton of money in the long run.
Finding the right insurance company for you can be very challenging. You will have to sift through the hundreds of companies that offer home insurance just to find the right one, wasting a ton of time. Well, using review websites that rate these companies will cut down on the time considerably. (more…)
My mother is declining in health, and I know that she does not want to leave her house. She is not fit to live alone anymore though, and I want to do what I can, to enable her to stay in her house. That is why I am looking into senior home care in brooklyn ny. I know that this could end up being pretty expensive, but it really does not matter that much, because I love my mother, and I want to do all that I can, to ensure that she is going to be happy. I am not sure how much longer my mother will live. I do not think she has many years left; maybe I should try to be more optimistic. (more…)
Storms usually don't bother me. We went through one a few weeks ago that scared all of us though. The thunder and lightning were horrible, plus it produced hail as well as flooding conditions. The lightning struck a tree in our backyard, and we thought it was going to come crashing through the house. The top part of the tree just missed the roof, and the storm seemed to be over as quickly as it started. When we went out to survey the damage, we knew that we needed a tree service in westchester ny. (more…)
Crime is everywhere. No matter how safe and secure that we might feel in our neighborhoods, the chance of crime is an ever present risk that can strike at any moment. The world is uncertain. People are losing their jobs, they are losing their unemployment benefits while the costs of living are constantly on the rise while our wages stay the same. This is breeding an environment where crime becomes a staple of society – so what do you do? Myself, I decided to contact a local home security company. (more…)
We bought this place about two years ago and knew that it was not really big enough for my needs, so I decided that I would build something and call it a guest house. In reality it is going to be the place where I do my hobbies and where I watch sports with my buddies. I got a painter in bergen county nj to help me with the exterior of the house, but he does vinyl siding too and what I wanted was a very specific look that would have been a huge pain if it had been done in wood and then painted. This way it looks very close to the real thing and you can not tell that it is vinyl unless you have the expert eye.
Of course when it starts to get dirty I shall just get some RV cleaner and a pressure washer. It is goin to be very easy to take care. If you painted something like this, then you would have the devil to pay when it came time to re paint it all, as there is a ton of fine detail in this job. You would have to climb up on an extension ladder with a roll of painter's tape and spend hours masking it off before you could start painting. Then you would be force to remove the painter's tape and mask off the parts that you had just painted. You would be talking about a tremendously difficult and tedious process, the sort of thing that I do not have any real time for. Of course that painter would have been just as happy if I had wanted to pay him to do it. He loved the look of it and took some pictures after we got done with the job.
There are few home security teams that are better than the buffalo ny adt team, they are some of the best in home security and they do everything that they can to make you feel safe as can be inside of your own home. I mean as far as I can tell everyone out there wants to be safe in their home and would not be here if they did not want to be. I mean we choose our home, but we do not get to choose those that live around us and if there is any way to make a home safer, I do not know why anyone would ever consider going without it. I mean if a theif breaks into my home, I want the police notified whether I am there or not so the security system that goes onto the door or the window and makes an alarm trigger is a great idea. (more…)
I am one of those people that is always trying my best to help my friends. For some reason, they tend to ignore my advice until it is too late. My best friend is trying to hire a roofing contractor in manhattan ny. I told her that she needs to consider several factors before doing so. The first thing she needs to do is find someone that is licensed to do the work. Imagine having someone complete such a heavy project and they are hurt in the process. You will be responsible for this if they are not insured. Unlicensed contractors will not have insurance, which means that they are a liability. Another reason why hiring a roofing contractor is important concerns the safety of homeowners. It is extremely dangerous to go on top of a roof unless you are properly harnessed and skilled to take care of the problem. (more…)
I got to Houston this morning and spent a couple of hours looking around I figured that I would stop and have a look at the old Astrodome, which is probably not going to be here when I get back here next year. I guess that they sold the naming rights to reliant energy and it is called Reliant Park or the Reliant Astrodome. It is not as big as the newer Reliant Stadium where the Houston Texans play. Of course you do not want to get these people into a conversation about that football team right now. They fired their head coach about the time I hit town and everyone was pretty riled up about the way that they had lost twice to the Jacksonville jaguars, including the game that was on last night on Thursday Night Football.
I guess they looked pretty bad, but I was on the road at the time, pulling out of St Louis last night about the time that game kicked off I guess. (more…)
On www.directsavingstv.com/, I found some great deals that made me switch from my cable company. I've been with the cable company for many years, and I thought I was getting good service, but the deals I found online were better by comparison. I went to the website after a friend told me that he had switched from cable. Like me, he had been with the cable company for a long time. It wasn't until he saw an ad on television that he thought about switching.
My friend is the kind of person who will stay loyal to a company, no matter what happens. It was surprising to see that he switched from cable. (more…)
I had the idea that this might not be entirely legal because the guys who hired me were paying me in cash. We started out cleaning up this old abandoned warehouse and fixing it up sort of like a club. It is out away from any people who could complain about the noise and the fact that the people who showed up were wearing rave costumes. Of course they were there to party and have a good time. My job was to stand around and look tough I guess. I am a big guy, around six foot and three inches tall and the last time I weighed my self I was around two hundred and twenty two pounds. (more…)
I started thinking about this project after I bought the house. There was a huge work shop out in the back. The previous owner was a contractor who had a big building where he kept his heavy machinery. When I bought it the thing had a big razor wire fence all around it. I looked at it with a friend of mine who is a plumber in Bergen County NJ. He and I started to thinking that you could pretty much build a little honky tonk in that building. It was a nice sized place, about twenty two feet wide and about thirty seven feet long. The roof is a good fifteen feet high and it used to have huge industrial shelves all around it. The guy took those down and moved them to his new location where he keeps the stuff he used to keep in the building. (more…)
You know what it's like to have a deadline looming over your shoulder, the date on the calendar screaming at you from across the room as you grind away at your project desperately attempting to finish it as fast and as efficiently as you can. It's a terrible feeling and one made worse when you share a tiny office with ten other people. Yeah, it's not the greatest experience in the world but you make do with what you have in Singapore. Our boss wasn't cool with renting out a unit from http://www.asiaservicedoffices.com.sg despite how cheap they are. The guy just wants us to suffer, I'm sure of it!
I'm only complaining because the deadlines for us have been absolutely crazy. The hours here are longer than I have ever worked before. No doubt this project is going to be one of the financial keystones they'll use as leverage for with the investors to gain more funding and capital on the next project but it's us who are having to grind out these insane days in order to make it happen. (more…)
Over the past five years, home improvement has become a staple of how I spend my time during Winter and Spring. It seems only fair; keeping myself busy has always been the best way to keep myself out of trouble! This year I decided to go with Pete's Renovations for all my kitchen remodeling in bergen county nj needs. I haven't been living in New Jersey very long but I have found Pete's Renovations New Jersey to be one of the very best. I was recommended them after having several issues with another company whom I'll allow to remain nameless; after several appointments where they showed up late, or not at all, along with the poor quality of the work I had finally given up. Now with Pete's Renovations giving me the hand that I need in getting this work done on my home, I have seen an improvement in both quality of work and customer service. (more…)

Manhattan is one of the most expensive housing markets on the planet. Having a home in this sought after location is a dream cherished by a huge portion of New York residents. In most cases, this dream will remain as just a dream. But, your case is different. You have accomplished your dream and are the proud owner of a home in Manhattan. Now, it is time to find the right contractors to maintain it in the best possible shape. A reliable roofer in Manhattan NY is one of the most important contractors that you need to hire on a regular basis to maintain your roof in the best possible shape.
How would you find a reliable roofer to maintain your home in the best possible shape? The best way to do this is by following your decision on the advice of your family members or your close friends. This way, your decision will have the solid backing of the experiences of your relatives and friends. This way, the chances of you getting an inexperienced roofer can be reduced significantly. There is nothing worse than you hiring someone who don't know how to fix your roof. If so, you may end up paying your hard earned money for a job that is not properly done. In case the roofing job is done poorly, it can even lead to leaks and resultant structural damage to the building. Any such eventuality would ruin the value of your most cherished investment.
Once you locate a roofer in Manhattan NY, you can learn more about them over the internet. You can learn about the list of their services, the testimonials given by their past clients etc. here. Again, you must check the licensing, insurance and bond status of the firm before you assign the task to them.
My daughter knew that she did not want to go to college because she had a learning disability that makes it really hard for her to read so we thought that instead of her going to a regular high school that she should go to one of the state trade schools that would let her learn a trade and it would be really easy for her to get an apprenticeship after graduation with a plumber in essex county nj that was going to take her under their wing and help her learn how to work out on her own. I did not know how she was going to feel about this but I wanted her to know that she did have a choice, plus she was only thirteen and she was basically going to be making a decision about the rest of her life.
I was talking with her and she told me that she was ready to make this big decision and that she thought that she was better working with her hands instead of opening up a book to study. She could always try to go to a college even after the tech high school as she will have a high school diploma but she would also have that trade under her, and we knew as a family that was going to be the best thing. When she graduated from high school she found a great plumbing company to work with because she was a girl and they wanted to encourage the females to get into the trade and we could not have been any happier for her, she is going to be making a lot of money and maybe even have her own business one day, we know that this is one of the best deals out there.
Retain Scanning ThroughMoving to a new place often means finding a new Internet service which as most of us know can be a hassle. It's not the fact that you often have to find a new company to go with, as there are a limited number available, but there are new packages to choose from, new offers they want to give you for re-connecting or even more fees associated with the move. I was lucky enough to find http://www.internetproviders.us/internet-service/ during my last move. It's a great site that collects an assorted number of diverse companies which can give you an idea of what you might be paying and who you will be choosing to provide your service. I wish that there were more companies that were available. Very few states have more than a handful and typically you are going to find service with one of the big names like Comcast or Time Warner whom, to me, are both terrible companies.
When a service is limited by a few it begins to restrict competition. Competition in our market is a healthy trait as it encourages companies to challenge one another on innovation and prices for their consumers. If a handful of companies control it all, it becomes entirely possible that they will utilize price fixing in order to control the prices of services and force out smaller companies. This is awful. There is going to come a time when these companies are going to be forced to break into smaller companies as it was once before and we will finally, hopefully, see a better quality of Internet service delivered to our homes rather than these low speeds and lines that are suffering from data caps. They even want to force teir pricing on their customers; that is absolutely insulting to any individual using the Internet today.
It's not hard to find internet bundles that include internet, phone, and even a cable provider. They are everywhere and almost all phone companies provide some sort of bundle. Finding cheap internet bundles are also not a problem. There are bundles that include all you could want for $19.95 a month!
People today want cheap deals and mostly are not reading the fine print of deals. Just a simple search on the internet you can find hundreds of deals that look like great deals but in the finer print they aren't such a great deal. Hidden fees and taxes, deals only good for the first month or two, or limits can all be things that would make a good deal seem less than stellar.
Luckily, there are more good deals than bad ones! For $19.95 a month (or more), anyone can have their internet, cable, and phone bundled. In some cases, they can even have a cell phone bundled for a little bit more a month. It is also possible to find bundle deals of internet and cable, cable and phone, phone and internet, or any other combination of products to be bundled.
It is really convenient as well. Think of all the separate bills that come in each month for cable, internet, phone, or even cell phone. Wouldn't it be great to be able to take care of all of those bills in one payment? Not only would it be convenient, chances are it would be more money saved as well! Not to mention, you wouldn't need to worry about 4 separate bills, just one every month!
Having an internet bundle is a cheap and effective way to get all your needs in one bill each month. Not only are you saving money, you are also saving time each month. By not sitting at the desk trying to fill out bills for this and that, you can just have one bill and done. Just make sure to read the finer print on any deal and make sure you are getting the best deal possible!
Retain Scanning ThroughThe band has been rehearsing a lot. Owen's uncle has this old farm that we are using. It is out in the country and there is no one there, aside from some goats who keep the brush in check. We have been rehearsing five days a week, any where from three to five hours at a time. Of course we also drink a good bit of beer and we have been having people over. It has gotten to the point where we are trying to use a soundcloud play free trial and then we want to try to figure out how to get more likes on soundcloud. It is time for us to start promoting and start doing some shows. It is the next step in the process obviously. Now the band has been rehearsing a lot, but we have been doing a lot of that rehearsing in front of around fifty people at a time. At first it would just be a couple of people that we knew and our girlfriends. They probably suffered through it at first, but after a little while we started to have crowds show.
We have the busking that we do as well. We sit out an open guitar case and one of us will take the money from our pocket and throw it in there as though it was contributed by the audience. That is what you need to do if you want the other people to figure out that they are supposed to put money in there too. If there is not any money there they think it is just an open guitar case that is sitting there for no real reason. They need to see that it is there for a reason. It is actually pretty decent money if you are just looking to eat and drink beer.

A little birdie told me you might enjoy these nespresso machines:
That little bird of yours is absolutely correct. After having researched this more, it boils down to that last one you linked, a latissima or the gran maestria. The gran maestria is all metal which I do like, but also unfortunately the biggest and most expensive of the bunch. The one you linked and the latissima are not all metal, but much better sized for our kitchen (and also, fortunately half the price of the maestria). Money isn't really an issue though, since all three of them are within my budget for an (n)espresso machine, and this will be partly supported by everyone else (it's my birfday in 2-3 weeks). However, if the maestria can't really offer much more than a metal body over the others, I'm not sure it'd be worth double the price. It has more manual controls though, but on the other hand, it'd be convenient just pressing one button and let the machine do the work for you (like with the latissima).

"We have found that, especially with foreign composers, we can't afford some of their music for these programs," he says.
Golan points out that it's not only foreign works that will no longer reach the ears of American music lovers as a result of the Bono act. He and his peers across America "have been champing at the bit for the year 2002, because that's the year that Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue' [was] to become public domain." Now, because of the extension the work's copyright has received under the new law, it will be another twenty years before most symphonies can afford to perform it. "Now, unless you're one of the big-budget orchestras, you can't afford to play it, because it costs a thousand bucks for each performance," Golan says.
On paper, the Uraguay and the Bono acts seem like a boon for domestic artists. The former allows American writers and composers to receive more payment for works used overseas, while the latter enables them to earn that money for longer periods of time. Among their supporters are I. Fred Koenigsberg, an attorney with White & Case, the firm that represents the royalty collection agency ASCAP. "The benefits of those additional twenty years flow to the families of authors and artists in a very considerable manner," says Koenigsberg, who's also a former president of the American Intellectual Property Law Association. Longer terms, he adds, also give publishers and corporations who trade in published work an inducement to "exploit them, in the best sense of the word," since they can reap dividends for longer periods of time. Copyright extensions don't take anything out of the public domain; they simply keep them there longer, Koenigsberg says.
But Golan argues that instead of boosting income for the heirs of composers, the acts actually reduce artist earnings.
"If there are only five orchestras that can afford to rent a piece for a thousand dollars," he says, "the publishers and heirs of the composers would earn $5,000. If you were able to purchase the piece for a hundred dollars, there would be 2,000 orchestras that could buy it, and [copyrights holders] would make $200,000."
Besides, he adds, extending the copyright terms does nothing to foster the creativity and promise of future artists. "We're talking about composers who are dead," Golan says. "Gershwin made millions of dollars back in 1920, when he was alive. His great-great-grandchildren don't need to make more money on something they had nothing to do with in the first place."
Morton David Goldberg is a partner with Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, a New York City firm that represents publishers, entertainment corporations and music consumers, and one of the nation's leading experts on intellectual properties. He says the Bono Act was approved to bring U.S. policy in line with European Union countries that honor copyrights for seventy years: "The only way the U.S. copyright owners would get the benefit of the additional twenty years in Europe is by having the additional twenty-year term in the U. S."
Koenigsberg says the laws have great benefits for the United States as a whole. "Copyrights are an export product," he says. "We get far more money from foreign countries for the use of American copyrights than we pay for the use of foreign copyrights here in the United States. We have a trade surplus in copyrights. That means money and jobs for the United States economy."
But according to Stanford's Lee, Congress's decision to extend copyrights for twenty years was the result of pressure from both foreign and domestic parties, including Capitol Hill lobbyists. On an international level, U.S negotiators were willing to give up access to works in the public domain in order to gain other benefits for America. "If you want to bargain with another country," Lee says, "you're going to be trading little chits." Stateside, "you get powerful copyright holders that lobby Congress at key moments when their copyrighted works might fall into public domain." The Bono Act, he points out, has been dubbed the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act" by its opponents. "The first movie with Mickey Mouse was to fall into the public domain had the extension not been enacted." (Works for hire, as Mickey Mouse was for Disney, already receive the protection of an extra 25 years.)
Representatives at two of the nation's largest music publishers declined to comment on Golan's pending federal case -- which is expected to be reviewed by the court this summer -- as did a spokesman for the U.S. Office of the Attorney General. In a brief filed in response to the complaint, U.S. attorneys claim that Congress has the right to extend copyrights to works whose protection is due to expire, and that it has done so several times in the nation's history. (The most recent extension was in 1978.) Regarding the URAA, government attorneys believe that powers granted to Congress through international treaty practices allow them to place public-domain work back under copyright protection. "Plaintiff's suit should be dismissed," reads the brief, "because so long as the Constitution delegates to Congress the power to pass a statute, and the statute does not trample on other parts of the Constitution, that statute is acceptable."

Hi - I, have been asked to grow plants for a land developing company. I ,was given a list of specific plants - 269 to be exact. Some of them I can grow, but some I will have to find and buy. How much should I charge for this entire deal? The company wants, mature plants they can install in a landscape design. Any, help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mistee |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mature plants of what? If trees, the project will take years. Do you have any experience growing what they want? |
Sometimes, the wisest decision is to say "no". "Thanks for asking, but this project is more than my abilities at this time. Please keep me in mind in the future." |

I can't help but be taken aback that that this SUV costs more than $78,000 - that's a lot, even if it is the legendary Range Rover, known for its unrivaled blend of off-road ability and top-grade luxury. Still, that price pales in comparison to the Mercedes-Benz G550, which stickers for more than $100,000, so I suppose that, in some circles at least, the Range Rover might be considered a good deal. At least, if I were a millionaire, that's probably what I'd think.
For the large chunk of cash you'll need to unload at the Land Rover dealer, you'll at least get a solid, capable, luxury SUV. Yes, the power delivery is smooth, but at close to three tons this is a heavy vehicle, so ultimately, it doesn't feel overly fast. Surely the extra dose of power in the 2010 Range Rover won't hurt. The interior is pretty nicely put together, with what feels like fine-quality leather and plastics. However, some of the controls seem a little dated. For instance, the seat heater controls are large, clunky dials located at the bottom of the center stack. In fact, they look more like HVAC fan regulators than seat heaters - which might explain why they were hiding in plain sight when I tried to find them. It took me half the drive home before I figured out how to heat my rear end!

Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50 is a lightweight, very fluid sunscreen with only titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as the sole active ingredients. You must shake it before using it to disperse the mineral actives.
When applied liberally, as sunscreen should be, this is absolutely not transparent on skin, despite the claims, unless you have extremely white skin. The thin texture and soft matte finish make this best for normal to oily skin, but titanium dioxide and zinc oxide can be a problem for blemish prone skin in large amounts, as is the case here. Still, the texture is light, and not everyone with breakout-prone skin will have a problem with higher amounts of these mineral actives, so experimentation is in order.
The only unique thing about this product is the SPF rating. Most mineral sunscreens are not rated higher than SPF 30 because the amount of active ingredients needed to surpass SPF 30 leads to a formula that's aesthetically undesirable, although, depending on your skin color, you might find that not to be the case.
As for the artemia extract mentioned in the claims, it is indeed a plankton, but more accurately, it's a species of brine shrimp that, as far as skin care is concerned, has no documented benefit. SkinCeuticals must not think too highly of it anyway because the amount of it in this sunscreen is barely a dusting. It is disappointing that antioxidants are practically absent from this formula, but perhaps SkinCeuticals expects their customers to use this with one of their antioxidant serums.
A groundbreaking first-to-market mattifying fluid with transparent finish, this paraben-free, all-physical filter sunscreen provides increased protection in an ultra-sheer texture for all skin types, even very sensitive. Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50 offers the photoprotection of trusted broad-spectrum, physical filters, zinc oxide (Z-COTE®) and titanium dioxide, and is enhanced by artemia salina, a plankton extract, to increase the skin's defenses and resistance to UV and heat stress. The unique 'shake then apply' action assures even distribution of active ingredients in this silky sheer fluid that dries quickly and leaves no residue.
Active: Titanium Dioxide (5%), Zinc Oxide (6%), Other: Water, Dimethicone, Isododecane, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Undecane, Triethylhexanoin, Isohexadecane, Nylon-12, Caprylyl Methicone, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Phenethyl Benzoate, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Silica, Tridecane, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Dicaprylyl Ether, Talc, Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer, Aluminum Stearate, Pentylene Glycol, PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Alumina, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Magnesium Sulfate, Caprylyl Glycol, PEG-8 Laurate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Tocopherol, Propylene Carbonate, Artemia Extract, Benzoic Acid, PEG-9
With a strong presence in the professional (meaning spa and aesthetics) skin-care market, SkinCeuticals has a mostly well-deserved reputation for producing serious-minded, research-driven products, several of which are centered on L-ascorbic acid. Company founder Dr. Sheldon Pinnell began the line after a falling out with the folks behind Cellex-C, a company for which Dr. Pinnell once served as spokesperson. The falling out had to do with both Cellex-C and Dr. Pinnell holding patents on L-ascorbic acid; Cellex-C held the patent on a formula with L-ascorbic acid (the original Cellex-C serum) while Dr. Pinnell's patent (now conspicuously absent from SkinCeuticals products) was only for the ingredient. The drama continued as, years later, the doctor who joined Pinnell to work on SkinCeuticals' vitamin C products began his own company, also selling products with vitamin C. Who needs Desperate Housewives when we have desperate doctors racing to be the authoritative word on the anti-aging properties of vitamin C?
The good news is that copious research has demonstrated that L-ascorbic acid (despite its stability issues, which, formula-wise, SkinCeuticals products do address) is a good, potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. It has also been shown to provide photoprotective benefits when skin is exposed to UV light and is capable of stimulating collagen production - though don't take that to mean it is a cure for wrinkles (Sources: International Journal of Toxicology, 2005, supplement, pages 51–111; Experimental Dermatology, June 2003, pages 237–244; Dermatologic Surgery, March 2002, pages 231–236; Bioelectrochemistry and Bioenergetics, May 1999, pages 453–461; and International Journal of Radiation Biology, June 1999, pages 747–755). Of course, other forms of vitamin C have equally impressive research, and some forms, such as magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, have better stability profiles (Source: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, March 1997, pages 795–801).
As we've mentioned before, vitamin C is but one of many good antioxidants, and it's not the best approach to select any one or two antioxidants and bank on them alone to provide every conceivable skin-rejuvenating benefit. Instead, go for products that offer a cocktail of antioxidants because you'll get a greater range of benefits. Plus, some antioxidants in combination have a synergistic effect that surpasses what occurs when any of the ingredients are used alone. SkinCeuticals clearly knows this, because their vitamin C products also contain the antioxidant ferulic acid, and some add vitamin E to the mix as well. Above all, remember that as multifunctional as antioxidants are, they cannot stop aging, they won't eliminate wrinkles, and they do not replace the need for daily sun protection.
L'Oreal purchased SkinCeuticals in May 2005, and, for the time being, seems to be letting them stay on their course. That's a good thing, because despite L'Oreal's considerable financial reserves and global R&D team, the skin-care products their brands produce consistently lag behind what current research indicates are state-of-the-art options. As long as they continue to let SkinCeuticals retain its stature, there are many good reasons to shop this line; however, that said, this line is far from perfect in terms of being able to assemble a complete skin-care routine. Focusing on what they do best (which is serums, sunscreens, and specialty products) will be money well spent for visible results. Those who find the SkinCeuticals price tags to be a deal-breaker need to know that despite several notable products, they're hardly the only game in town; you can find equally superior products for less money, though not all of them follow the impressive concentration protocols of SkinCeuticals.
For more information about SkinCeuticals, call 1-800-771-9489 or visit www.skinceuticals.com.
This is an outstanding high-SPF sunscreen for oily skin. On my oily/normal combination skin, it has a mattifying effect, without drying out my normal-skinned cheeks. After many trials and errors with other, non-alcohol-based, fluid sunscreens, I've had to come back to this. This, however, did not keep the brown spots from multiplying like bunnies on my face this past summer. Perhaps I should have reapplied more neurotically. Also, the flesh-coloured version of this is too dark for my NC10 skin.
I like this sheer, fleshcolored sunscreen a lot. It doesn't offer enough coverage to be used as a foundation but the liquid does help even out skin tone a little bit. Highly recommended.

Broadus settles in at Diamond Bar
May, 30, 2012
Blair Angulo | ESPNLosAngeles.com
Blair Angulo/For ESPNLA.comCordell Broadus figures to be a standout at Diamond Bar HS for the next three seasons.
His father's name follows him wherever he goes. Cordell Broadus knows it comes with the territory.
The sophomore-to-be, though, is ready to make a name for himself on the football field. Broadus, the son of world-famous rapper Snoop Dogg, transferred to Diamond Bar from Long Beach Poly last fall and was a standout on the Brahmas freshmen team.
He looked like a top target for Diamond Bar earlier this month at the Rancho Cucamonga passing tournament.
"The move was difficult when it first happened, meeting new friends and a new team," Broadus said. "It's been good ever since. The competition level at Long Beach Poly is a whole lot different than it is down here, but I've learned that it's all on me and how hard I work."
So far, Diamond Bar coach Ryan Maine likes what he sees.
"We're expecting him to really lead us the next three years," said Maine, who went 4-6 last year in his first season. "Hopefully [our athletes] get bigger, stronger and keep leading this team."

Taking its name from the Old Norse 'konungr' meaning 'King' with an Old Norse suffix 'by' meaning 'the settlement of' which gives Coningsby the meaning 'The Settlement of the King'. Coningsby lies approximately 7 miles (11 km) south from Horncastle, and on the A153 Horncastle to Sleaford road, with the Lincolnshire Wolds to the west and the Fens to the east. The B1192 Kirton to Woodhall Spa road passes through the town. At its western end it meets the village of Tattershall, demarcated by the River Bain. A railway line, which once passed through the village, opened on 1 July 1913 and closed on 5 July 1970. The Coldham Road Industrial Estate now occupies the site of the former Coningsby railway station. The Line was officially known as the Kirkstead and Little Steeping Railway though it was universally known by the local people and the railway workers as 'The New Line'.[citation needed]
Coningsby St Michael's C of E Primary School is on School Lane. The secondary modern school, the Gartree Community School, is just outside the Coningsby boundary in Tattershall, near the A153. Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Horncastle provides sixth form education with enrollment open to pupils graduating from both Gartree and other Secondary Modern Schools. Pupils may also choose to attend school in nearby Tattershall and other towns.[citation needed]
The nearest further education college is in Boston. In late March 2008, renovation on the Tattershall/Coningsby Library included a small learning centre provided by Boston College.[citation needed]
Parish church[edit]
Coningsby is overseen by the tower of its 15th century parish church, St Michael's, with its one-handed clock face. One of the few in the country (there is another at St Andrew's in Holt, Norfolk), it is stated by Coningsby Parish Council to be the largest of its kind in the world.[citation needed] The face is painted directly onto the wall of the tower and was probably installed in the 17th century. It is 16½ feet in diameter and its hand is nearly 9 feet long. The driving weights are large stones and its pendulum swings once every two seconds. The pendulum is not attached to the clock but some distance away, linked by a connecting rod. There are three wheels in the timekeeping mechanism which needs winding once a day. The tower on which the clock face is painted is on the outside of the building. There is an arched passage under the tower which is part of a public footpath from the A153 High Street to the school on School Lane, through the churchyard.[citation needed]
Public houses include the Black Swan and the White Bull, both on High Street, and the Lea Gate Inn on Leagate Road (B1192).
RAF Coningsby[edit]
Half a mile (1 km) to the south of the village lies RAF Coningsby, one of the Royal Air Force's most important stations, home of No. XI Squadron, No. 3 Squadron, No. XVII Squadron and No. 29 Squadron.
The airfield is part of Britain's heritage, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight formed in 1957 to commemorate the Royal Air Force's major battle honours, with a Lancaster, five Spitfires, two Hurricanes and a Dakota. These aircraft still fly and can be seen at air shows during summer.[2]
From 1950 RAF Coningsby was home to three squadrons of 'Washingtons', the RAF name for the American B29 bombers, and for the first 18 months these were maintained by National Service technicians whose conscription was extended to 24 months because of their particular skills.[citation needed]
Pellcroft Engineering Ltd., located in Coningsby, is a company selling agricultural fans.[citation needed]

Francine K. Welty, MD, PhD Associate Professor of Medicine CardioVascular Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center 375 Longwood Avenue MASCO Building, Room 433 Boston, MA 02215 Tel: 617-632-7659 Fax: 617-632-9928 email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr. Welty's cardiology research lab focuses on 2 areas: 1) modification of cardiovascular risk factors and inflammation to prevent atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease and 2) identification of genes for complex diseases. Her group is studying modifiers of inflammation including diet, exercise and salsalate in metabolic syndrome and the effect of soy in postmenopausal women. Computed tomographic angiography is being used to assess amount of noncalcified coronary plaque. Her group is also involved in genome wide association scans for genes causing type 2 diabetes and hypertension in the Amish.
Dr. Welty is Principal Investigator of the NHLBI Specialized Center of Clinically Oriented Research (SCCOR) in Vascular Injury, Repair and Remodeling: Metabolic Syndrome, Inflammation and Vascular Remodeling. 720 subjects with metabolic syndrome and coronary heart disease (CHD) are being randomized to one of three arms: intensive lifestyle changes, salsalate (a drug inhibiting inflammation) or usual care. The amount of noncalcified coronary artery plaque and composition are being assessed by computed tomographic (CT) angiography. Three ancillary studies are underway: 1) composition of aortic plaque and aortic wall thickness with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); 2) the relationship between oral health, systemic inflammation and atherosclerosis and 3) the relationship between endothelial progenitor cells, noncalcified plaque and inflammation.
Dr. Welty's laboratory has shown that soy lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride levels, inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP]) and adhesion molecules (VCAM and ICAM) in hypertensive, prehypertensive and normotensive postmenopausal women and in women with metabolic syndrome and that a potential mechanism may be improvement in inflammation as evidenced by lower levels of CRP and adhesion molecules. She has also shown that equol producers have greater benefit than equol non-producers. Future studies include examining the effect of soy on endothelial progenitor cells.
Dr. Welty's laboratory is performing genome wide association scans in the Amish to search for genes for type 2 diabetes and blood pressure. Genetics of biological aging is also being examined. Dr. Welty discovered the apoB-67 mutation which causes low levels of LDL-C and high levels of HDL-C. Mechanisms for these changes are being examined in human subjects with the apoB-67 mutation using stable isotopes and multicompartmental computer models developed by Dr. Welty. Physical and chemical characterization of HDL lipoprotein particles in the apoB-67 mutation is also ongoing. Cardiac MRI for triglyceride deposition is being proposed. Kindreds with the apoB-67 mutation, which is a founder mutation in the Amish, are being extended to determine if the mutation predisposes to longevity and protects against cancer and atherosclerosis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the liver in these subjects is underway to determine if a higher content of fat in the liver predisposes these subjects to insulin resistance and diabetes.

Gems can be obtained from mining, trading with other players, and as occasional monster drops. Using the Crafting skill, uncut gems can be cut, combined with precious metals to make jewellery and then enchanted using the Magic skill. Gems can also be cut into gem bolt tips. Wearing a charged Amulet of Glory increases a player's chances of unearthing a gem while mining. However, one does not receive any additional Mining experience if one manages to mine a gem in such a fashion. Note: It has been confirmed that, even as a free player without any amulet, you can obtain multiple gems of different kinds at one time from mining (at least two), but this is extremely rare. In such cases, members wearing a ring of wealth may potentially obtain four or more gems from mining one rock, though this is an even rarer occurrence. Furthermore, though uncommon, it is possible for a free player, whilst mining a rock and competing with another for its ore, to lose the ore to the other player, but manage to find a gem all the same.
Any regular mine rocks (clay, copper, iron, coal, etc.) have 1/282 chance to retrieve a gem (sapphire to diamond) when mining (without an amulet of glory). It's even possible to mine multiple gems from the same rock.
Gems up to diamond were previously rewards from the removed random events, but still remain as common rewards from Treasure Hunter.
The statues in Bandos's throne room frequently drop cut gems from sapphire through diamond, making the room popular for some gem hunters who can kill the statues easily. Completion of The Chosen Commander is required for access to the throne room.
Gems can also be mined from the gem rocks in the north-west corner of Shilo Village, Lunar Isle Mine, occasionally in Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup activity, and also in gem rocks in the Al Kharid mining site resource dungeon. Additionally, in the Kal'gerion dungeon, there are several Gem rocks that may give Uncut dragonstones. Gem rocks contain, in order of descending probability, opal, jade, red topaz, sapphire, emerald, ruby and diamond.
Some gems can be purchased, stolen or sold to a gem shop identified with a red gem icon on the map.
You can also obtain 8 sapphires from mining sapphire rocks in the cave found in the quest The Tale of Muspah quest. However, the rocks can only be mined once, so the sapphires do not respawn inside the rocks.
The original free version gems were officially released in the crafting update in May 2001. In March 2001, Jagex made gems appear while mining, although it was unintentional.
Uncut gems are worth more on the player market than cut gems are, as players are able to get more Crafting experience from cutting gems.
Because of the high price of uncut gems, it is recommended that players keep the gems they find if they are mining lower levelled ores such as coal, but drop them if they are mining runite ore.
With the release of Divination, gems can now be automatically banked with the use of sign of porters. All gems found when mining gem rocks, ores, and even stars will be teleported when a porter is activated and worn. This is useful when mining rune ores while using a portent as it will not take away an inventory space, just one charge from the porter.

There is a lot going on in this design of the Trik-E from Speed Studio Design. The three-wheeler is first a bike depending on your muscles to propel you along, but the second is a motorized assist scooter that uses your stored energy to assist as needed.
The Trik-E is steered through leaning in the direction you wish to go. Since the vehicle has a cover of it, the Trik-E is n year 'round alternative for the city.

Wow this topic needs a lot of work to get it back to where it was but I have pretty much given up on it. I really appreciate everyone posting and signing but like all of my dreams this one is going to never be realized.
since i joined gaia ive been a little disappointed in the lack of ninja items, dont get me wrong i love the ones they have so far. the ancient katana, the dark star, and the ninja band are all really cool but theres just one item i want more than all of them NUNCHAKU! commonly called nunchucks, these weapons were first popularized in america by the legendary bruce lee. 2 sticks attached by string or chains, doesnt seem too cool right? WRONG! if you have ever seen a bruce lee movie you know how cool this item is, a guy surrounded by enemies with swords BEATS THE CRAP OUT OF ALL OF THEM WITH NUNCHAKU! i want this extraordinary ninja weapon more than gold, or fame, or any other item currently on gaia.
this isnt just the only weapon i want on gaia, the others include: bo (staff), sai, neko-te, kama, naginata & jutte, hanbo, darts/needles, bokken, and chigiriki.
NOTICE: because i am so sick of ppl saying petitions dont work im going around gaia searching for ALL of the petitions that have worked, if you find any please notify me by posting here.
platinum halo AKA Mythrill Halo:
first petition for tatooes i could find:
"official" guns petition AKA assassin's guise:
rat tail, snout, and ears:
thor's hammer AKA gift of the gods: (i was surprised as you must be right now)
ice sword AKA frostbite sword:
mermaid tail AKA aquatica:
