Why dig up old threads?
Maybe I'm just being cranky. If so, please ignore.
Why, why are people digging up old threads and then posting to them as if they are current?
I understand searching for and reading old thread. I do it and its very useful. If I have a question regarding something someone posted in the old thread I contact them directly. If I still have a question I start a new thread.
I just don't see how it is helpful to find a thread from 2009 and post an answer to the OP. I think by now they have made their decision. Or to post something like "me too" or "I agree".
Perhaps since the search feature here is so bad that someone may not realize how old the thread is. I have found myself reading an old thread (that had been bumped to the first page) and being confused until I realized the post date.
Right now there are at least 3 old threads on the first page. One is from 2008.
Is it just me? Life has been very stressful lately and maybe I am overthinking this.
I just think it would be more useful to everyone to read the old threads. Attempt to contact the poster if you still have questions or just start a new thread.
On occasion I've found myself posting to an old thread because I arrived through a search but forgot and then realized it was an old thread. New people might fall into t that trap too. Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with pulling up an old thread to continue a conversation, rather than starting a new one. What difference does it make? Old thread, new thread?
What I've noticed is more spammers pulling up old threads recently.
Take a deep breath :) ... we all have our days.
I'm so nosy, I had to check those threads. At least one was brought back by a spammer, then some unsuspecting poster (such as I), who hasn't had her morning coffee, doesn't realize that the OP is long ago.
Since there is a rash of them this morning, that's probably what happened--the other threads were reported for spam, which has been removed, leaving the old threads to sink or swim.
Or, it could be a newbie who found a GW thread by googling a subject, but who doesn't know how to navigate the forum. Been there, done that, too.
Nope, you are not cranky. I have done the same and became irritated when realizing the thread was from old history. And your guess is most likely correct. Now I check the original thread date.
One thing though, I ran a search to go back to GW 10 years ago. Curious what difference in decorating and products were being suggested or used. It only goes back about 4, too bad we lost some decorating history. The libraries have done this too for years with book sales.
At least it shows that people are doing searches for their topic. I read daily but rarely post here. If someone posts a question without doing a search first, sometimes the response is downright catty.
It is really easy to search and not realize how old the thread is.
On some messageboards it's considered polite to revive an old thread instead of starting a new one if your topic is exactly the same. That way people don't have to bother posting all the same info they did before.
On one of my old music messageboards they had a thread that was at least ten years old and thousands of posts long. It was fun!
In other forums on GW (real estate, for example) it is more obvious than this one because this one moves so fast, but I think there is a glitch in GWs date posting. The "new stuff" is supposed to be at the top. But, sometimes, on slow moving forums where you can see it, you'll find that something from 5 or 2 or 1 yr ago (similar date) has been put to the top. There are no comments under it support it being at the top (ie, a spammer did not revive it).
That said, I have also seen the spammer revival.
But, when GW was asking for feedback before this very last change of page format, that was something I commented on. I just don't think they fixed it (or know how?).
Also, not that long ago on the Kitchens forum, people were belly-aching to NOT start new threads because there were a limited number of threads in any one GW forum category that GW would store (like there is a limit of 150 comments on 1 thread). And, people didn't want people pushing useful old topics out of the searchable pages. So, it would have been preferred for someone to revive an old thread with a similar issue.
Anyone know if it is still the case that GW limits the number of threads? (I'm thinking not, since I haven't seen that complaint in a while and memory is getting quite inexpensive).
I think it depends.
"Good" reviving:
Posting a follow-up that shows the finished project or resolution to problem
Update on how something performed over time (problems, durability, repairs, success story)
Update on new product (that's iffy --- could start a new thread)
Thanks for all the responses. I was actually afraid to check back as I thought maybe I over did it. : )
I wish people would revive old threads in order to post a resolutions. Resolution posts should be mandatory, LOL. Sorry lazygardens!
Yes, too many spammers here and they are getting sneaky, posing more successfully as real interested posters.
Sorry, if I annoyed anyone with my venting.
For the newbies I just think they will not get the answers they want or need. Bringing back a thread and saying "I need help too" is not going to give them the attention their situation needs.
I really do need to check the date first. Unless the topic is very compelling, I don't really have time to read a layout question from 2010.
Robotropolis, thanks for the reminder that there are many different types of formats on different forums.
I do recall that suggestions have been made to some how mark older threads and to make other very needed changes.
I've been having a lot of issues with GW lately. Not getting emails on new posts of threads I'm following. Being locked out of my account and not being able to log in. I actually started a new account as debrak2008 because I was going through withdrawal. Then my usual, old account suddenly started working.
I admit to pre-espresso cattiness when someone posts the same darned question that's been answered 10 budzillion times. Frankly, it's one of the reasons I'm not as active. I admire people's patience, who take the time to answer these repeated questions -- but sadly, it's with the same info that's in the previously posted threads.
I do, however, go back to my own threads with resolutions or updates. I find it more interesting to read the entire story in one place when people do this, so I try to.
In pre-iVillage days, when Women.com was independant, forum etiquette used tags in the subject line to prevent albeit polite but useless posts. NT means "no text". TA was "Thanks again", NRN "no reply necessary." It was really nice. But then, those were also the days when people were paying by the minute for their Internet services. Don't get me started about the pre-Windows days of paying by the byte.
Of course, there are also the people that answer 10 responses with 10 individual posts. Or whole new threads. Huh? I guess they don't need a hobby, because they've found one with that process.
Anyway. I don't mind the old posts and lurk a lot more than I post these days. I do try to contain my inner cat. Sorry I'm not more successful.
I don't mind a new person posting the same question. Even if the same question was a few months ago or a year ago, there are often different readers who might have a different spin to things.
Also, looking back on old questions seems almost like research to me. Not personal. There is something about a real person who is NOW answering the question that YOU just posted.
When I realize the post is old, I skip to the bottom. Sometimes it's someone wondering about the resolution because they are now in the same boat. Other times its obvious that it's spam.
DebraK, I was locked out for a day in the last week or so. I contacted GW and it was an internal problem. What was so frustrating is others were posting and not locked out. I couldn't even post asking if anyone else was experiencing the glitch!
I had to laugh at your overthinking comment. Since starting my kitchen reno I have gone from decision maker extrordinaire to over thinking every darn change or item so I kinda think that overthinking deal is a symptom of the disease known as TKO.
Too funny. Some complain if you don't do you homework and check old threads, so complain if you do. Why does it really matter so much. Sometimes an old thread can be relevant. Sometimes the search doesn't help, so you start a new one. Is it really that big of a deal? Really? That's what's bothering you these days?
just yesterday i came across a thread on the furniture board revived from 2006 or 07 in regard to crypton fabric. hopefully this didn't annoy you since it wasn't here in kitchens, but it was very helpful to catch up and see where the fabric can be purchased and what lines carry it for their custom upholstery. i remembered the original thread as i was investigating this particular product.
many times it's helpful to revive a thread rather than start a new one. quite frankly, there's so much out there to be annoyed about. just saying.
Just a few of the reasons why I would 1,000 times prefer someone to revive a relevant thread rather than start a new one . . .
Part of the reason search sucks so much is there are a bazillion threads on "spice storage" (or whatever the topic is). So type in spice and wade through 85 search results. I would much rather similar issues be confined to a single thread. Some of the best threads that buehl has saved and lists are the ones with many many responses over a long period of time.
Why do people start a new thread every time they make any little change to their layout to ask for opinions. "I moved the door to the other side, here's a new thread, what do people think". Yeh, what about all of the people who had already spent time helping you and may have been following your thread ? You just disappear off of the original thread with no thought to the people helping you. And what about the people who start helping on the new thread, they have no idea what the background story is and changes that have already been made or rejected and the reasons. I think it is so much better to keep everything confined in one location. CEFreeman, I also find it more interesting to read the entire story in one place.
How about the person who starts a new thread for every single possible little decision they have to make. Help me pick my sink. Help me choose my hardwood. Help me pick my backsplash. What color cabinets should I use. Seriously ??? How about keep those things all in one thread.
So true robotropolis !!
it's polite to revive an old thread instead of starting a new one if your topic is exactly the same. That way people don't have to bother posting all the same info they did before. Then new people can just add on their responses. Not to mention the fact that being able to read all of the old responses might give a new poster an idea for something else and give a new spin on things.
And Nosoccermom !!
"Good" reviving:
Posting a follow-up that shows the finished project
Follow up with resolution to problem
Update on how something performed over time (problems, durability, repairs, success)
Update on new product
LOL @ attofarad
I am an "oldie" around here (since 2003) when there was an extremely limited number of threads available on the forum. If I remember correctly, only 10 pages of 30, so 300 threads total. And once a thread dropped off the last page, it was gone forever. There was no way to resurrect all of that helpful info. Even if you knew the URL, GW would just show something like "sorry that thread cannot be located". And old threads were no longer searchable either. After a very short time period, you could not even find a cached copy on google.
I purposefully went and found the 'show me your knobs and pulls' thread so I could post mine. I thought that thread was very helpful and it was nice to see everyone's hardware all in one spot. I wanted it to go to the top in case it could help new people on the site. I was going to do the same thing for the 'show me your faucets' thread that was going a few months ago. I like the threads where everyone posts their choice for the same item. It really helps think about options and why people chose what they did.
Angela12345,although it seems like a logical progression, sometimes (often) when one introduces a new question about planning to an already existing thread, no responses are forthcoming. Perhaps folks who are more interested in color selection won't look at a thread that started as a question about lighting. Perhaps others who feel that they have said all they have to say about the lighting also don't return to the thread. And, I have seen more than once OP's advised to start a new thread for a turn in discussion in order to get more responses. Ergo, new thread.
I feel very fortunate to have this resource, and the patience and creativity of many of the core posters, and I hope that I am not ruining anyone's day with my questions and requests for hand-holding! (I don't think that I have revived any old threads other than my own)
I was surprised that my old thread from a year ago was revived...I did reply back personally to the person who asked a question but then more people began commenting and asking questions so...boom...I'm back on the front page.
I don't think it's that big of a deal...it got me back to the boards after a hiatus! lol I think new folks have questions and, I'll answer them anytime :-)

Compare prices on storage containers and save!
Find a Used Storage Container for Sale
Portable storage containers are made with highly durable,
long-lasting steel, which makes purchasing a used storage
container a great option. Most of the time you won't even be able
to tell the difference between a new or used container, and many
suppliers offer refurbished units that come with fresh paint jobs
so they look brand new. Tips for Buying a Used Storage Container
Here are a few things you want to do before you decide to buy a
used cargo container:
Used Shipping Container FAQPurchasing used storage containers isn't easy, and if you haven't purchased one before you probably have a lot of questions. Here are some of the most common questions customers ask when they are buying a used storage container: How Much Does a Used Storage Container Typically Cost?You can expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 for a smaller container, and over $4,000 on units 40' and longer. Prices fluctuate with demand, and there is currently a shortage(there has been since 2008), so prices keep going up. The best way to get a good deal is to shop around. Do Used Storage Containers Come With a Warranty?It depends what company you purchase from. If you are buying it on Craigslist or from a private seller you will almost certainly have no warranty(but you will pay less for it). If you buy a used storage container from one of the bigger companies in the industry they will often come with a warranty for standard things. Warranties typically cover the door hinges, the container itself, and it's ability to remain water tight. How Much Does Delivery Cost?
Deliveries can range anywhere from $100-$200 for local
deliveries(usually around 100 miles from your location), to a few
thousand dollars if its being shipped hundreds or even thousands
of miles. Always consider the cost of delivery when researching
prices, it usually makes sense to go with a local supplier. |

Name: Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah'
Zones: Hardy to 5 – 9
Size: 3-4 feet tall
Conditions: Sun; dry to normal moisture
Switch grass, Panicum virgatum, is one of the best native garden grasses, providing cover and food for wildlife, and 4 seasons of interest. Native grasses add height to the garden, as well as, movement as the grasses catch the seasonal breezes.
'Shenandoah' charms the garden with new leaves emerging blue-green, forming a red tip in summer and gradually turning red-purple by midsummer, with reddish pink flowers. By winter, 'Shenandoah' will turn a nice blond color lasting throughout the winter.
'Shenandoah' is compact and upright with no serious pest problems. All of which makes for an ideal use in the home garden.

You are here: Home ‹ Board index ‹ Movie Discussion ‹ All Other/Older Movies ‹ (2010) I Love You Phillip Morris
Phillip Morris leaves Sundance without a distributor!
24 posts
• Page 2 of 2 • 1, 2
I doubt if they will throw it in the garbage...Your talking 10 M$, that's not peanuts.
But sometimes a movie may not be timely for now but timely later may need to be tweeked to make it more acceptable to some some people may be offended by the pre-clips it may need to be toned down for now and released in it's originality at a later time people may not be ready for it yet. How much did Brokeback make, did they break even? Some people are still quite traditional. You have to do the research and look at the Demographics for now What the target group for this movie? Do they have expendable money right now? Are they willing to spend on something that is more a curiosity than informative or the way people want to be entertained. Not sure how the research for the production was instituted
Shouldnt they have already thought of all that before they made the movie? It's not like someone says ok lets make a movie, heres the A grade actors. Lets film. then when its finsihed its not like "ok we showed it at sundance" thats it.

Looking at getting some kick plates for my door sills as they're getting a bit scratched and I like the look of them.
I've got a 2004 zetec tdci estate, But I can't seem to find any kick plates *specifically for* estates. So am I right to assume that they're universal and will fit both saloon and estate models?
I'm fairly sure this could well be the case, but I don't wanna buy them just to have to send them back.

Job Rejection Happens to Everybody – How You React is Key
- By Laura
- 4 June, 2013
- Comments Off
Dealing with rejection in employment is hard, it taxes you emotionally and it contributes to a loss of self-esteem. It is similar to being rejected by a friend or a love interest. You feel a loss (potential employment), it makes you wonder what is wrong with you (your skills), and it makes you wonder if anyone will ever want you (future employers). The one simple fact you have to remember is that everyone experiences rejection in the workplace. There are 6+ billion people in this world and they all experience application rejections. It is how they react that makes all the difference.
You may have received a form letter saying "thanks, but no thanks." This does not necessarily mean they "don't like you" they may simply have a better-qualified candidate, are hiring from within, or have decided to eliminate the opening. You may not even hear anything at all from the company. Some job openings have hundreds of applicants and the company policy might be contacting only the applicants they want to interview. These situations are beyond your control. It is time to move on to the next company. Don't dwell on it and don't let it consume your thoughts. If you can't let a rejection go, try sending a letter to the hiring manager thanking them for considering you and asking if there is anything in particular that you should work on in order to improve. There is no guarantee that you will receive a reply, but it may help you feel at peace with decision.
Don't blame yourself or others for losing out on an opportunity. It is so easy to think that you are "not good enough" for a job or company or to think that the HR representative doesn't know enough about the job function in order to hire you. Blame is a negative attribute and it does nothing but sidetrack you from your goals. If you still feel like blaming yourself, take an inventory of your skills by writing them out. A list of positives will help you to look past the rejection and allow you to move on. Get out past job reviews and remember why you were considered a good employee at past companies. Ask your friends what your best character traits are. Whatever you do, the point is to align yourself with the positive and let go of the negative.
Think about the job you applied for or the interview you had. Are there any skills or qualifications in the listing that you don't possess? If they require experience in Microsoft Word and you don't have any, buy a book or take an online class. You can master the skill while you are looking for a job. If they are adamant in their requirement for an MBA and you only have a BA, you may have to re-consider your future applications to listings with such strict requirements. (An indicator of this is saying, "must have" instead of "desired"). If you stumble over your words or freeze up in an interview, then you need more practice. Call a friend and try some mock interviews. Start out by being interviewed and then switch sides so you can work on your questioning skills for the inevitable "do you have any questions" inquiry. Practice until you can carry on without stumbling. Identifying the reason of the rejection and working on fixing it will help you to move forward.
There is a job out there for everybody. Your goal is to maximize your skills, find the right listing, and present yourself effectively. And if when you get rejected, accept the feedback offered, focus on your strengths, and plow forward.

We recently embarked on a 12-night cruise (my first) and noticed the exorbitant prices for the shore excursions at every port. My question is - Are these really worthwhile, given that they relieve all the stress of touring a strange land (but that's part of the experience, right?) and are guided? Or is it almost always better to disembark and make your own way?
Excursions booked through the cruise line are often marked up quite a bit due to the fees the tour companies pay to the cruise line. Your best bet is to research the ports you're sailing in to and find a well-reviewed independent company that offers similar excursions, often for much less money. They often have enough experience with the cruise lines to know exactly how long the excursion can take, and will get you back to the boat on time. One resource I find very useful for taking cruises are the CruiseCritic message boards. They have a forum for each cruiseline, and for each destination port, where you can often get the answer to any question about any ship or port. |
Given that the answer I wrote here actually fits this question better, I might as well post it again There are generally two reasons to book your trips through the cruise line:
There's one other reason to go with cruise line tours: one of the nicest parts of cruising is the instant community that arises, and it's fun hanging out with some of the same people off the ship, too. Yeah, the excursions are expensive. But hey, how often do you get a chance to take a helicopter to a glacier and then walk around? I did it on my first trip to Alaska, and while I feel no urge to do it again, it was a great experience and one that I'm happy I did. |
When I book tours, I research who the tour is actually with and then go to the company website to check their prices. I have found that when I booked directly with the company that I wanted to do a tour with, they ended up being cheaper than if I went through the cruise line or another tour booking agency. Also, a lot of tours even come with guides so you don't have to worry about navigating through a city all by yourself. BUT...I have also found that it is quite fun to just go off by yourself and do whatever you want. It all depends on what kind of experience you are looking for. I enjoy both types so maybe you could try a bit of both and see which one you prefer overall. |
The first question you need to ask yourself is whether you want to take many shore tours at all. In connection with a cruise ship, there are three basic types of activities: 1) Shore tours 2) performances (usually musical), plus some shows and talks, which often include slide shows of the land tours and 3) the use of amenities such as the athletic facilities (gym, spa, tennis and handball courts, swimming running track) during the day, and cocktail parties and other social events during the evening (the ship-sponsored events, including alcohol, are free). Most people can participate in only two out of three sets of events. For many, the cruise is the experience; sailing and sunbathing during the day, socializing at night. They can learn what they want to know about the shore excursions through the previews the days before. If shore tours are a priority, while shows and socializing are secondary, realize that this is where the cruise makes most of its money. It barely breaks even on board because of all the "free" events. The cruise has the advantage of "buying in bulk" on the more exotic locations and experiences, so keep that in mind. Also, in places such as Russia, you basically can't go ashore independently of the ship (at least not without a lot of red tape). There are certain "generic" locations where it makes sense to go it alone. Almost any stop within the United States, for example. Or a tour of Rome, where if you miss your ship, the next stop is say, Naples. But in most cases, it's a choice of not going ashore at all, or going with the cruise tours. You might not want to do so every day, and thereby have some days "on," some days "off." |
Cruising Excursions motto "prices lower than the cruise lines". They claim to have over 5000 shore excursions in 100's of ports Worldwide at prices up to 60% lower than the cruise lines. Might be worth looking into. |

About London Nightlife
Just as in life, when it comes to nightlife, London has everything that you could ever imagine and more. From big brash multi floor night clubs, to old style pubs, and everything in between. There's something to suit every taste, fashion and fad. If you like dressing up then there are themed evenings covering every historical period from the twenties to the eighties. Festivals abound in every park and square in the summer months, and for the winter, the big factory style clubs like Ministry of Sound and Fabric bring house, techno and electronica and some of the best DJs in the world pumping straight through your body. Each part of London has its own clubs, pubs and devotees, many tourists tend to stay in the West End but even the City, Hackney, Brixton and South bank of the river offer some great places to party. The West of London, Chelsea, Notting Hill and Park Lane, as well as a few places in Marylebone and the West End cater for the posh end of the market; here bumping in to a title or a minor member of the royal family is not uncommon, along with Premiership footballers and rich city boys and girls. Things change fast on the club and pub scene, so check out local guides and websites, like Resident Advisor or the BBC Radio 1 website for the latest rota on the big name clubs. Time Out is great for listings by the week and is published on a Wednesday for when you hit town. The Guardian too has a listings guide on a Saturday if you want to keep in the know.

With the price of gas at an all time high, people are looking to Washington for a solution.
In the U.S. alone, we consume nearly 21 million barrels of oil in a given day.
To help alleviate the problem, President Bush has proposed lifting the offshore drilling ban for oil and natural gas.
North Carolina is one of the states against lifting the offshore drilling ban. The state is worried that drilling offshore will hurt tourism on the Carolina coast.
The beautiful Carolina coast is a sought after treasure by tourists all over the country.
According to some, that could all change.
UNCW Environmental Science Professor Roger Shew said, "Up there it is pristine. There is a lot of beauty in the area, however, in areas adjacent to that, you've got to go in and find out how much is there, and is it even beneficial to go out and prospect."
President Bush has proposed to congress that the oil drilling ban be lifted off our coasts.
Some want the drilling to start right away, and begin bringing those gas numbers down.
Environmentalists are concerned about oil spills and pollution.
Harry Simmons is Mayor of Caswell Beach, and while the town itself hasn't discussed any plans to drill offshore, he has thought about it.
Simmons said, "We certainly don't want to see them do it without a major effort on environmental impact and what kind of impact it might have on the tourism industry here in Southeastern North Carolina, or anywhere on the Carolina coast."
The federal waters start about three miles offshore.
If you are standing at Caswell Beach, and look northeast, you can see Bald Head Island in the distance. It is about three miles offshore.
"We surely don't want to see oil derricks off the shore, anything that needs to be done here needs to be out of sight," said Simmons. "You can have tanker spills anywhere. The question is, do you want to have that be seen offshore?"
But for professor roger shew offshore drilling is not the only answer.
"This is a large, potential source of oil. It's oil shale, and it's available in the western part of the U.S. Before we can get it to the crude oil form we need it in, it will pose a few environmental issues like using a lot of water, and strip mining."
Whether North Carolina is for or against offshore drilling, it all boils down to utilizing the resources we have right here in the Unites States.

Manufacturing Extension Partnership is a nationwide network of resources intended to help manufacturers compete globally, support greater supply chain integration, and provide access to technology for improved productivity.
University Technology Transfer Offices promote, support and improve technology transfer from academic and non profit institutions. They often manage and license innovations derived from research at their universities and may be a good source to link small businesses with university faculty.
The Cooperative Extension System Offices are a nationwide, non-credit educational network. These offices are staffed by one or more experts who provide useful, practical, and research-based information to agricultural producers, small business owners, youth, consumers, and others in rural areas and communities of all sizes.
EPSCoR assists the National Science Foundation in its statutory function "to strengthen research and education in science and engineering throughout the United States and to avoid undue concentration of such research and education."

Holy. Crap. Is this product amazing? Yes!!! Yes!!! This is the sparkliest, glossiest, pinkiest, non-stickiest lip gloss EVER! I bought this product in March, and I love it! The clicky pen is good for quick application, the colour 'Possession' adds a rosey pink tint to my lips, and the glitter is... stunning. I bought this knowing it would SHINE like crazy. And, let's just say I'm going back to get a few more colours soon. Especially a coral shade, and maybe even a nude-y shade. So, if you're undecided, think: Do you want glitter? Do you want a nice creamy silky texture? Do you want to know Victoria's Secret? Lol, my name is Victoria, so I love how it says my name on it as well. And before I finish my review, I will just say that it rules. And you need it.

I bought this in Randy and I love it!

I also love the packaging. It's very cute and practical.
I'm buying more!!

PRETTY ASS COLOR! IM SoOoO HOOKED! IT'S A GREAT BUY I LOVE THAT IT'S NOT NASTY STICKY AND THE SHIMMER IS SO PRETTY. MAKES MY LIPS FEEL NICE AND SMOOTH.
More reviews by typicalprototype
i love this color is soooo pretty on me a nice shimmer and i am a huge fan of the type of brush and the clicker type package!! only thing i hate is it has no staying power
This lip gloss is perfect. <3 It's smooth, non-sticky, and the color is a gorgeous pink with frosty shimmers. To make it even better, the packaging is just as gorgeous as the gloss itself!
This is the most perfect pink! It feels smooth, doesnt dry out my lips (It actually moisturizes them), isn't sticky, doesn't fade quickly. I love it!!! This shade (Possession) was sold out few days ago, so when I saw it today I was so happy!
I would purchase it again (and probably will try different shades as well)
I bought this in Rock Me (peachy/nude) and I want to say that I. Love. It. LOVE IT. I agree with other reviewers that this truly, truly feels like a balm. But it has an amazing sparkle and my-lips-but-better status that makes me feel like a rock star. I just looked on the Victoria's Secret website for this and it's not there. Time to run by my local store and get a backup!
I just picked this up about a week ago and I have to say that I love it! I bought them in two colors, possession (shimmery pink) and in Rock Me (shimmery Peach/Nude). Bought them on sale for $10.00 each (normally $12.00). They have a beautiful shimmery effect on the lips and are very moisturizing. My favorite lip glosses are YSL golden glosses (#10, #5 & #2) but I have to say that for the price these come pretty darn close. Highly recommend these. Next one on my list is Quiver (Shimmery Gold). The packaging could be better, it is a pen style lip gloss like YSL Touche eclat eye brightner that you have to click several times to get the gloss to come out and it can get messy if you click it to many times so be careful.
Edit: After just a few days of use this lip gloss is just ok. I'd rather pay a little more for YSL golden glosses or even Chanel glossimers and get better quality. The color Possesion is good but not Rock Me (fades too quickly).
This is my all-time favorite lip gloss. It was gorgeous on my hand in the store and it's even more gorgeous on my lips. Guys are for the most part oblivious to different lip gloss shades, but 2 of my guy friends complimented me when wearing this gloss and also said that they wish their girlfriends would wear it. I would be surprised to hear that any girl/woman didn't like this gloss. I find that most glosses are sticky, this one is not at all. It's also very conditioning, I feel like I'm wearing balm underneath. I'm actually going back to VS to pick up a back up. For reference, I have ivory skin, green eyes and medium brown hair.

Drone Strikes Again on Hold As US-Pakistan Relations Continue to Deteriorate
5:44 am in Uncategorized by Jim White
As relations between the US and Pakistan continue to deteriorate, it appears that drone strikes have again been put on hold. I can find no reports of any strikes since the March 17 strike on a village jirga killed over forty people. This strike especially infuriated Pakistan, coming just a day after Raymond Davis was released and, despite ample evidence of many civilians being killed, the initial US response was defiant, claiming that only militants were killed and that those killed "weren't gathering for a bake sale". Pakistan immediately canceled its participation in the already delayed (due to the Davis case again) trilateral meeting with the US and Afghanistan. I can find no new date yet announced for this meeting. The US military has clearly stated that General David Petraeus has not apologized to Pakistan's military for the strike and now General James (fun to shoot some people) Mattis is meeting with the head of Pakistan's army today. This meeting comes amid yet another escalation in the diplomatic break between the two countries, as Dawn reports that a number of US military personnel have been barred from the leaving the country.
There is a chronological list of drone strikes in Pakistan at Wikipedia. Note that Raymond Davis was arrested after killing two Pakistanis on January 7 of this year. It took a while for relations over this incident to fray, but notice that at the height of the Davis crisis, there were no drone strikes between the strikes on January 23 and February 21, a gap of almost a month. It was in the middle of that gap, on February 12, when the US announced that it was delaying the trilateral meeting, presumably as a protest against Davis being held. We now are in a gap of three weeks, with no reported attacks since the March 17 attack a day after Davis' release. This attack prompted a rare immediate response from the Pakistan military:
The Pakistani military chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, issued an unusual and unusually strong condemnation of the attack. "It is highly regrettable that a jirga of peaceful citizens, including elders of the area, was carelessly and callously targeted with complete disregard to human life," the statement said.
And as mentioned above, the US response only heightened the crisis:
But American officials on Thursday sharply disputed Pakistan's account of the strikes and the civilian deaths, contending that all the people killed were insurgents. "These people weren't gathering for a bake sale," an American official said. "They were terrorists."
After some local Pakistani press reports that Petraeus had apologized to Kayani for the attack, the US military made the strange move of denying such an apology:
The International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) Commander in Afghanistan General David Petraeus has neither apologised nor given any explanation to Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani regarding the killing of 44 civilians in the March 17 drone attack in Dattakhel area of North Waziristan Agency.
A local news agency reported that Petraeus had contacted Kayani to apologise over the killings.
When contacted by The News, a US military source in Pakistan denied these reports carried by a local news agency, and said, "With regards to the allegation that General Petraeus contacted the Pakistani military or that he expressed regret over this alleged incident, I can assure you that General Petraeus hasn't had any contact with Pakistani military leaders since his meeting with General Kayani on March 3."
In a further escalation of diplomatic moves, Pakistan has now barred a number of US military personnel from leaving the country:
There are varying claims about the number of US soldiers denied exit from the country. Some sources claim that about 20-30 people have been affected, while others contend the figure is slightly less than one hundred.
The men were assigned to the US Office of Defence Representative in Pakistan (ODRP), which oversees Washington`s military relations with Islamabad, including training and equipment.
Most of these people had been working on different projects with the Pakistan military. Some of the soldiers had overstayed their visas while a majority of them had expired NOCs.
In the midst of these tensions comes today's meeting between General James Mattis, head of Central Command and Kayani:
General Mattis, head of US Central Command overseeing the wars in Afghanistan and the Middle East, would meet Pakistan's army chief Ashfaq Kayani for a "regular, scheduled visit", the US embassy in Islamabad said.
"It's not extraordinary… it's a military to military relationship," said embassy spokesman Alberto Rodriguez.
But the visit comes after a US report this week criticised the Pakistani military for failing to forge a clear and sustained path to beat religious insurgents holed up in the lawless regions bordering Afghanistan.
Let's hope that Mattis has learned some diplomacy since his famous speech in 2005:
Lt. Gen. James Mattis, who commanded Marine expeditions in Afghanistan and Iraq, made the comments Tuesday during a panel discussion in San Diego, California.
"Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot," Mattis said, prompting laughter from some military members in the audience. "It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling.
"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."
What could possibly go wrong by sending this man to a critical meeting during a time of frayed relations?

Casual sex is often associated with the young adult stage in the life course. Most recent research on the prevalence, motives, and consequences of heterosexual casual sex has relied on samples of college students, yet students are only a small and advantaged subset of the young adult population. The current study drew on the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study, which was collected in 2006–2007 and included young adults (ages 18–24 years) whose trajectories reflected a wider spectrum of educational experiences (N = 1,023). We moved beyond prior work by examining both frequency and type of heterosexual casual sex: lifetime vaginal, lifetime oral, and recent vaginal sex. We found that young adults enrolled or who graduated from 4-year educational institutions reported fewer casual sex partners on all three measures compared to participants without a high school degree and those with some college experience. Sexual attitudes were key factors mediating the association between educational status and casual sex behavior. These results indicate that programs aimed at encouraging healthy sexual behavior should target individuals who are at risk of not graduating high school because they are at greatest risk of frequent casual sex partners.

As a child you were a ham who always wanted to attend New York's High School of the Performing Arts. That is until you saw the movie and the TV series Fame. Watching those gifted, energetic kids have their dreams of showbiz stardom crushed convinced you that you had to be nuts to want to be a performer. Now that you're old and cynical, Fame has hit the stage and has been transformed into Fame -- The Musical. This time around you can feel either comfortably detached or completely inadequate because you opted for law school instead of following your heart and becoming a mime. The show opens tonight at 8:00 at The Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Performances continue through April 11. Tickets range from $26 to $49. Call 305-673-7311.

Best Financial Planners in Los Angeles, CA
There are many different things to consider when it comes to seeking out the advice of a professional financial consultant. Getting an expert's opinion about your different options is a very wise thing to do, but it is important that you spend some time beforehand thinking about the kinds of qualifications and considerations that are important to you. All advice is not equal, and it's a good idea to do some planning ahead of time to make sure that the person you are talking to has the right personality and qualifications for the job. You want to make sure that you are all on the same page before you begin letting them influence the direction you will take with your finances.
Before you hire any financial advisors in Los Angeles, California, it is important that you understand just how much control he or she is going to have over your finances. One of the best reasons for getting professional advice in the first place is learning to establish good spending and saving habits so that your financial future is protected and secure. In order for this to be possible, you are going to have to give the consultant a bit of power to make decisions. If you do not, why would you hire him in the first place? However, this could understandably make you nervous, so you have to talk to the person about the level of control before entering a working relationship.
Different Control for Everyone
Generally speaking, the amount of control that the planner have will be up to you. This means that it could be different for everyone who works with that person. You may be the kind of client who wants him to make every last decision because you are afraid that a simple error, on your part, could cost you a lot of money. At the same time, another client may just want suggestions and ideas, saving the final say for himself. You should try to determine the amount of control you want the consultant to have before you meet with anyone, because it can play a role in helping you to choose an L.A. advisor that is a good fit for you.
Whatever Relationship Makes You Comfortable
Your own comfort level should be the driving force behind the way that you and the consultant interact. Do you feel better if he is in control of everything, or does that make you feel nervous and powerless? Do you want him to take care of your expenses, or do you just want him to remind you about the things that you should consider yourself? The investment advisor is not going to push anything on you. He will just want to work with you to establish the right type of relationship so that you can be comfortable, relaxed, and happy.
The Benefits of Giving Up Control
If you decide to have a relationship with the consultant that causes you to give up more control, even to the point of allowing him to tell you what you can and cannot spend within your budget, there are some decided advantages. For one thing, you can trust that a professionally-designed budget will keep you from spending too much, thereby giving you greater security. Furthermore, allowing the professional to be in charge can reduce any stress and anxiety that you feel. Remember, finances are very complicated, and they can be hard to understand without official training and education. There are some times in life when it is wise to just let a professional do their job, and this may be one of those instances, although it is something that every individual will have to decide for themselves.
The Benefits of Retaining Control
Of course, there are also some benefits to having a financial consultant who does not take a hands-on approach. For instance, you will still get to make the purchases that you want to make. He will give you advice, but you are still independent. If you really want to do something with your money, you can do it, and you can take full credit when it works out in your favor. The consultant can still be tremendously helpful by giving you an experienced person to discuss things with so that you can take his wisdom and knowledge into account. Taking the professional's opinions into account will generally give you a better perspective on the situation when you are evaluating your different options and alternatives.
Areas of Influence
It is also a good idea to have some understanding of the different areas that the consultant may provide about. They may have some opinions about different lifestyle options, like deciding how much money you will require in your retirement. It is also very common for your financial guide to offer some guidance when it comes to various investment strategies. There are many different designations of advisors, and their areas of expertise will vary depending on the kind of training and certification that they possess. For example, some consultants will be able to assist you with investments like stocks and bonds, while others may specialize in annuities. If you already have some idea of the type of investment strategy you would like to pursue, then that knowledge will help you to narrow down your list of potential consultants.
The Perfect Los Angeles Financial Planners
When you choose to work with a personal investment advisor, you need to talk to them in order to make sure that your relationship is well-defined in advance. This will help you both to clearly understand the nature of your relationship, and it will assist you in accomplishing your objectives. If you both know what is expected and what you hope to get out of the arrangement, it will not be hard to find the perfect consultant for you, the person who can help you secure a bright financial future for you and your family.
