This product is okay. The taste is a little off for me, not my favorite of course. But I like the sting and it seems to work great. I love more natural products so I would buy it again.
I've loved this for years now! Since high school, maybe even before then, I've had between 3-5 tubes at a time, and I actually use 'em up. The mint effect hasn't gotten old for me yet, and the moisture lasts pretty long on my lips. And since I always have a tube within my reach, it's obviously kind of addicting! I'm addicted to lip balms in general, and I would have to say that this is not the most hardcore balm for the middle of a New York winter. But for what it is, I think it's really fun. EDIT: after using some different balms and then going back to this one, it feels a bit too waxy. I still like it, but I can't put on too much. It sits very heavily on the lips.
I have a ton of these around. I keep one everywhere. I love the little tin. It just makes me happy to see the little bee. :)
It's moisturizing and soothing. I love it! continued >>
More reviews by sweetdevilgirl
This smells nice and one of my friends LOVES this so I gave it a try. It feels nice and refreshing, but it really does dry your lips out. I prefer something a little "gooier" and moisturising!
i have been using burts bees on and off for a long time. i usually buy a new tube after i end up sending it through the wash in a jeans pocket. i love the smell and the first few times i use it my lips are fine. eventually my lips dry out and peel. the new honey flavor is a little bit better and i've been buying that instead. it smells weird but you get used to it.
I found this quite effective in soothing chaffed lips when caked on before bed as prep for exfoliation in the morning, which is pretty much the only time I use it. Although I could see how it could easily double as gloss. The texture is pleasant, smooth and soft and I like the cooling effect of the peppermint but not enough to use it as an everyday lip balm as I find the scent/mintyness a bit much. It does the job but the strong peppermint scent just isn't for me. Also, I'm not sure if I'm too fond of the tin packaging as it can be difficult to open at times so the chapstick tube would probably be the better option in that regard.
This really dries my lips out--within a couple hours, they're flaky. It smells great, but doesn't feel good on the lips at all.
What's the big hype about this lip balm? First of all, it has wayyy too much menthol or coamphor which actually dries your lips out. I had to wipe it off after a couple of miutes because it was too tingly. Second, it's expensive! There are a lot of other lip balms that are a lot better at moisturizing than this. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's better. The only thing I liked about this lip balm was that it tasted good and made my breathe smell good, but overall-its sucks!

Two years ago, Bolivia resident Chris Neal was killed in Iraq. Now, his dad is honoring his son in a big way.
William White says his son was the best hunting partner a dad could ask for. So, in his honor, he started Camp Hope. Its a place for veterans to enjoy the great outdoors, and a place for William to remember his son.
It was not too long ago William White was out hunting with his son Chris Neal. A member of the Marine Corps, Chris was killed in Iraq in 2006, and William wanted to do something to keep his memory alive.
"We had a conversation a few weeks before it happened, and he did not want to come home maimed. So I figured after that conversation, this would probably be one of the things he would have done himself," said White.
William set up a camp where veterans could visit, go hunting, fishing, and just spend some time healing after war.
White said, "The environment they are in lets them enjoy and be able to actually do some good counseling, because not everyone can do it in a clinical environment."
In order to build the camp, William had to raise money. He started out hosting yard sales in his neighborhood, then his friends and family caught on to his vision and started chipping in.
Jim Bove is William's friend and a veteran himself. He hosted a golf tournament and raised almost $9,000 for Camp Hope. "I understand what they go through. Having a loss like that is very traumatic and I wanted to help out," said Bove.
William spends most of his time on the camp site, and when he isn't there, he is back home in Bolivia riding his customized Harley Davidson in the Patriot Guard with his son Chris riding right along side him.
William is looking to expand his camp to accommodate handicapped veterans. If you want to help, visit www.chrisnealfarm.com

The Chernobyl-Team is proud of some very productive months since the last update, and so it's time again to share some parts of our work with you guys.
After tying some loose ends, progress is really coming to a late stage on every aspect of the mod. In addition we've done internal playtests to verify the quality of the overall gameplay experience.
(Homepage of our Music Composer: Klick here)
It's safe to say there is still much fine-tuning to be done, and we are eager to concentrate on that from now on. For that purpose we are still searching for 3d-Designers, you'll never get enough custom models, right? So if you think you are skilled enough and can take part in this great project, you might consider applying for one of these positions.
But whatever your abilities are, if you think you can be an enrichment for the project, please contact us at av3ris[at]chernobyl-l4d2.com and don't forget to attach some of your past work.

Wild blueberries are harvested from late July to early September in Maine. Harvesting is still mainly by hand rake- a close-tined special RAKE invented about 112 years ago by a local Downeaster, Abijah Tabbutt and modified in minor variations since then. The secretis in the wielding of the rake - a special pushing and twisting motion of the wrists designed to tease the ripe berries from their grasp of the vine without crushing. Hand-raking is increasingly being replaced by mechanized harvesting. Although the technology is getting very good, hand-raking will always have its place - due in large part to the hilly and rocky terrain that a lot of wild blueberry patches are found on.

Important Information for Your Capitol Hill Visits
As nursing students from AACN member schools, you will be serving as ambassadors for the hundreds of thousands of nursing students across the country. Sending one clear message about support for nursing education and research helps Congress understand the needs of nursing students and nursing schools. Your personal story, however, can lend a unique voice to the united advocacy message, and we will talk more about this during the Summit.
While the exact issues and talking points will be developed and disseminated to SPS registrants before and during the conference, please note that registrants are encouraged to become familiar with some of AACN's main advocacy priorities:
- Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development Programs
- National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR): Promoting America's Health through Nursing Research
- From Patient Advocacy to Political Activism: AACN's Guide to Understanding Healthcare Policy and Politics
How Visits are Arranged
Capitol Hill visits will be arranged by AACN or a member dean from your state who is attending the AACN Spring Meeting. You will receive information about your specific visits just prior to the Summit. Please do not contact your legislators to schedule your own visits. All students will visit offices for the state in which they are enrolled as students, and will help deans and AACN representatives carry a key message supporting nursing education and research. It is important that participants deliver one, unified message in order to most effectively advocate on behalf of the profession. Multiple or personal requests of Congress dilute the importance of a national advocacy day.
The dress code for Summit events on Sunday is business casual. For those who have not attended a national conference before, plan on wearing shirts with collars or sweaters, dress pants, or skirts. Flip flops, denim, t-shirts, sneakers, and shorts are not appropriate. The dress code for Summit events on Monday and Tuesday is professional attire. Men should wear suits and ties, and women should wear pants or skirts/dress suits. Suits are always encouraged for Capitol Hill visits. Because we will be conducting Hill visits and attending a reception on Monday evening, students should select footwear that is business appropriate and comfortable.
Closing Ceremony and Induction into the SPS Academy
Please note that our Closing Session luncheon and SPS Academy Induction on Tuesday afternoon is an important component of the Summit. If possible, please plan your travel so that you do not miss this event.
Testimony from Past Student Policy Summit Attendees
"The Student Policy Summit was an excellent learning experience. It provides a solid foundation for nurses from all educational backgrounds to understand the legislative process. The speakers at the Summit are very influential and provide various insight and knowledge. The Summit provides the attendees the opportunity to meet with legislators and other policy experts from your state. Meeting with the legislators is a phenomenal opportunity to not only see Washington D.C., but to also understand how influential nurses are on the policy process. Every nurse has the power to influence policy. Nurses need to stand as one united front when advocating for our profession and improvements in health care. I have recently graduated from Wayne State University's Doctor of Nursing Practice program. My clinical inquiry project was a Policy Analysis: Standardization Of Nursing Education For Entry Into Practice. I took my tools away from the Summit to complete my project. These tools were to not only understand the legislative process, but also understanding where different legislators come from, and furthering developing skills to communicate to legislators. I would hands down recommend the Student Policy Summit to any student at undergraduate or graduate levels if they have an interest in Policy. I know for me it has only confirmed that I have a strong interest in pursuing a policy career in the future."
"My attendance at the 2014 AACN Student Policy Summit (SPS) served as another defining moment in my nursing career. I was never aware of the power nurses hold, through advocacy efforts for policy enactment and change, until I was given the opportunity to witness it first-hand at the SPS. Empowering nurses and allied healthcare professionals to get involved in policy mobilizes support to create advancements for the nursing profession as a whole. I was given insight into this statement when my Dean, peers, and I were successful in voicing the importance of Title VIII funding to a Congressman who agreed to sign a Dear Colleague letter of support. The SPS taught me that speaking with one voice is much stronger than an individual voice; joining our advocacy and constituency efforts are the primary ways to making a difference. Nurses are naturally advocates for their patients at the bedside. They possess the knowledge and ability to transition these advocacy efforts from the bedside to members of Congress and, in return, achieve successes for nurses and patients nationwide. My personal excitement from the SPS became inspiration for me to apply for the AACN Government Affairs Internship this past summer. My internship with AACN and the attending the SPS have validated that interacting and aligning with nursing policy leaders, nursing coalitions, and local/federal legislators at the policy forefront is necessary to make the nursing voice heard and retrieve answers to healthcare issues."

Digital coloring book
Fill in the blanks with this simple children's coloring book.
Coloring Book 9: Little Monsters is a computerized coloring book for kids of all ages. With a simple-to-understand screen and easy controls, your child will be coloring a new world in minutes.
The program's interface is clearly aimed at little ones, with its bright colors and large icons. We foresee youngsters easily cycling through pages and filling in blanks with splashes of color. If children are old enough to operate a mouse, they should have no trouble navigating this program, though filling in smaller sections will take some precision. There was, however, no Help file, which some parents might not like. Children are offered different scenes of monsters having fun in this program, from eating a house to just looking cute, so there is a lot for youngsters to love. The program's thick lines mimic a physical coloring book well and should feel familiar to young artists. The color palette surrounds the picture's frame and kids can cycle between a rainbow of colors or separate shades of the same color. Unfortunately, the program doesn't provide any special features other than some printing options. We would have like to have seen ways to adjust the size of the book, but we didn't feel confined by it.
Though the trial only permits you to color up to five pictures, it still gave us a good idea of how well the program works. With a simple layout and controls almost any child can handle, Coloring Book 9: Little Monsters is a great download for little artists.

Quirky News
Pregnant woman eats local newspaper
A pregnant woman has told how she has developed a "bizarre craving" for eating her local newspaper.
Ann Curran, 35, of Dundee, munches her way through copies of the Dundee Evening Telegraph.
She says it is the only "only newsprint with the proper flavour" and that she "stashes shredded copies in her handbag for emergency snacks".
Ms Curran said: "I could be sitting in the bingo hall and I'll start ripping out pages of the newspaper.
"All the people look at me going, 'What is she doing?'. I tear the white bits off the edges of the pages and keep them in a bag so I can eat them while I'm shopping."
The Sunday Sun reports that she stocks up on copies of the paper during the week so she has enough to eat at the weekends.
She added: "If you shredded up lots of different bits of paper, I would know exactly which one was the Evening Telegraph.
"My pals keep papers for me but I have to buy a couple of extras to get me through the weekend."

Wake Forest Demon Deacons (8-18)
@18 North Carolina Tar Heels (19-6)
Tuesday, February 15
Dean E. Smith Center
Attendance: 20,229
Wake Forest
18 North Carolina
Chapel Hill, NC (Sports Network) - Tyler Zeller finished with 18 points and nine rebounds, leading 19th-ranked North Carolina to a 78-64 win over Wake Forest at the Smith Center.
Harrison Barnes added 17 points, while John Henson ended with 14 points and 13 boards for the Tar Heels (19-6, 9-2 ACC), who have won two in a row since losing to Duke last Wednesday.
"All in all it's a 'W,'" said North Carolina head coach Roy Williams. "We have got to get better though. I think we took too much of a deep breath. I don't mind catching your breath, but we have got to be more focused than we were."
North Carolina shot only 37 percent, but made 21-of-28 free throws to record the victory.
J.T. Terrell had 18 points to lead the Demon Deacons (8-18, 1-10), who have dropped five in a row. Wake Forest was out-rebounded by a 50-35 margin.
"Believe me, we were not blocking off," Wake Forest head coach Jeff Bzdelik said. "But we can't simulate the size in practice that we encounter in the game, and when we block off, we need to do it with force to carve out space so we can nullify their length. We don't do it very well. We're just not a very physical team inside."
The Tar Heels scored the game's first seven points and never relinquished the lead.
Late in the first half, UNC used a 10-0 run to build a substantial double- digit advantage. Leslie McDonald capped it with two free throws with 5:34 remaining, making it a 33-15 contest.
Terrell made a three-pointer in the final seconds of the half to get Wake Forest within 41-28, though UNC expanded its lead to a game-high 49-30 about 3 1/2 minutes into the second half.
The Demon Deacons cut their deficit to single digits a few times later in the half, including when Ari Stewart's three-pointer had them within 63-55 with 6:45 to go.
However, UNC responded with a back-breaking 11-0 run. Kendall Marshall drilled a three to end it with 2:44 left, giving the Tar Heels a 74-55 cushion, and they cruised from there.

We are using SQL 2008 std. We have a table holding over 22 million records and is being used frequently. We have a need to add a varchar(max) field to this table and I am wondering if I should create a seperate table for it or just add it to the existing table. This field will be used for any newly created records and not all new records will have value in it. We are guessing maybe 10~20% of the newly created records may utilize this field, which users put comment in it. What are the pros and cons for putting it in an exsting table or creating a new table for it? w
1. How often your queries will use a clustered index? What is the frequency of these queries? How import they are? What percent of overall query execution time for queries involving that table use clustered index? 2. How often queries involving that table will return comment column? 3. How often comment column value will be updated after the initial insert?
Some comments and questions? If you add a new column with varchar and NULL it appends to the existing column list. it will not add any data to the existing rows. That means, no overhead on execution of a statement like this ALTER TABLE table1 ADD comment varchar(max) NULL. Can users update the existing rows with the comment? If so, it may lead to page splits and fragmentation Do you access the data (of the new column) separately or with the rest of the data? (If you keep the comment in a new table, will it lead to additional OUTER JOINs or another DB call ?)

What studying can be good forHello I´ve some BELLYcious things to say that are related to my studies.1) On the way home from university by railway I saw a preg woman about 3 weeks ago.

I could see her navel which was popped out... 2) Several days later I was in the gym... and there was another prego.

Disgusting pushing trash taken out, thank you Sveta
La Borz arguing with the umpire like a child again, throwing racquets and tantrums; so glad this pushing queen is out of the Top 10, about 3 rounds too late, though...Some of Sveta's shots were just amazing
Great to see her back and refreshed with mental toughness...La Borz got her ass sent packing, so tennis wins...No disgusting pushers left in the top part of the draw...Bye Caro; learn how to play offensively with 90% less pushing, definitely learn some net skills
and keep the bitchy tantrums reserved for your old man
....Bye bitch

If your team always seems to be out-of-sync, create a Calendar Group to quickly pull up everyone's schedule in one view.
First, go to Calendar in Outlook 2010, click Calendar Groups, and Create New Calendar Group:
Give it a name and then select all of the people you want to add from the address book. Hint: Don't select more than you can comfortably view at once. Try to cap it at 3 or 4 including yourself.
Experiment with different views to see which works best. The Schedule View is easy to scroll through, especially useful if you have a lot of teammates:
If all you're seeing is Free/Busy information, you and your coworkers may want to add each other to your calendar permissions to share meeting subject and location, or even full details. To do this, each person needs to go into File, Options, Calendar and click Free/Busy Options:
Click Add to enter teammates from the address book and then adjust their permission level as appropriate.
These instructions don't nearly replace plan a meeting in 2003.
how do you change contacts in the group once you created it?
That would be the Calendar Properties page that they have up.
I want to now how to make new group on the outlook
How can I do this in Outlook 2011 for Mac? Any one knows this? Will be great help.

Currently in a match with me and my friends, I'm usually booted from playing a bottom lane, Nunu to top lane Wukong. I honestly don't do very good, and would just like to see what some of you guys think about top lane in general. EX: How should I play it? Should I got offensive or defensive? What champion is best for top lane fighter?
Senior Member
I love top lane with Wukong. Are you building him right? I see a lot of people maxing/choosing Crushing blow first, which imo is bad. Nimbus is a lot better because it's longer range, multiple enemies hit and you rush in. Also don't make Wukong into high attack spd, he is more useful with high AD kicking ass. Nunu on the other hand I have no idea how to play lol. I've never played him. Good top lane champions are Wukong or Riven. Wukong is really fun to play. Riven is manaless so there's a plus. These 2 are usually soloing top lane. There are plenty of good top laners. The most crazy I've seen is Teemo. He is quick and ranged. Once he is fed and gets his attk spd up and AD up he will destroy.

Guerrero eyes shot at a heavyweight title
CC boxer to battle Bispo for right to face Botha
There is a tasty carrot dangling in front of Ron Guerrero's grill and it has world heavyweight champion Francois Botha's name on it.
And the Corpus Christi boxer is willing to do just about anything to get another shot at Botha. That includes taking apart former Brazilian Olympian Daniel Bispo, whom he will face in a scheduled 10-round fight June 13 at the Richard M. Bourchard Fairgrounds in Robstown.
"If there's any obstacles in the way to fight Botha, the way I see it, if I've got to go through a brick wall to fight Botha I'll do it," Guerrero said. "I promised this town a heavyweight title and I'm going to do it."
The catch is that Guerrero, 35, has to beat the 34-year-old Bispo or there will be no rematch with Botha, who scored a unanimous, 12-round decision over Guerrero in February in South Africa.
Guerrero's veteran trainer Tony Ayala Sr. called the decision "home cooking."
There is no doubting Guerrero would have a decided "home" edge in Robstown. But with a loss by Guerrero (20-16-3, 14 knockouts), the shot at Botha's WBF belt would go to Bispo, 21-11 with 15 KOs.
"If Ron would lose we'd be out of the picture. Bispo would get the shot," said Alice promoter Zeke Luna, who also signed Botha to a contract to defend his title in Corpus Christi. "But you know what, here in Corpus nobody's going to beat Ron."
Should Guerrero handle Bispo to earn the rematch with Botha, Luna has designs on staging the fight at Whataburger Field. Negotiations with Ryan Sanders Baseball, the organization that owns the Hooks and holds the lease to the stadium, are in the early stages.
"Honestly this is really something that we've become aware of in the last week or so," said J.J. Gottsch, executive vice president of Ryan Sanders. "It's exciting for us because one of the things, obviously, that I've been doing in my new role is trying to bring more events to both of our stadiums in Round Rock and Corpus Christi.
"Obviously, boxing has got a really long history in Corpus Christi. There's a lot of passion for it. There's a lot of excitement for it," Gottsch said. "For us to have the opportunity to bring something like that here would be awesome. That being said, other than just some really, really preliminary discussions, just introductions more than anything, we haven't gotten much past that point."
Like Guerrero, Bispo has lost three of his past four bouts, although the 1996 Olympian won his most recent fight, dispatching fellow Brazlian Jose Raimundo in the first of 10 scheduled rounds in March.
"I feel great. I'm just training, training hard," Guerrero said. "Of course this guy, I'm not going to take him lightly with him being an Olympian.
"I do plan to go in there and just take him out, old Ron G style, just go in there toe-to-toe and see if he can just stand it."
Guerrero became the first American of Mexican descent to fight for a heavyweight championship when he tangled with Botha three months ago.
"I know he's going to hit a home run," Ayala said. "Zeke is the promoter, Ron's the fighter but it's up to me to get him ready. If we don't get it done, this thing's over."

Once a stopover, Mali town becomes frontline destination for displaced people
The town of Sévaré sits along Mali's de facto border with a region now controlled by Tuareg separatists. At a camp there, displaced people speak cautiously about why they fled.
Derek Henry Flood
Sévaré, Mali
This crossroads town once at Mali's center has become the country's de facto northern border since Tuareg separatists and Islamist rebels staged an uprising in late March, partitioning off the northern two-thirds of the republic and renaming it Azawad.
Traditionally a stopover for long-distance truck and bus traffic bound for Timbuktu and Gao to the north, Sévaré and the nearby tourist destination of Mopti are becoming a frontline destination, particularly for internally displaced peoples (IDPs) from the rebel-controlled regions of Kidal, Gao, and Timbuktu. Men who made a living by interacting with European adventurers are now queuing up for food staples donated by Western aid agencies. They sit astride a critical new geopolitical fault line where, so far, the international community has failed to take any substantial action.
Some are able to stay with members of their extended family in Mopti Region, while others head south to Bamako in search of more opportunities. Those who can't do either make their homes in canvas tents in a former truck drivers' hostel. Next door is a municipal complex where local functionaries of this rump administration file paperwork under humming fluorescent lights.
The local authorities said they had no knowledge of the state-of-play in Mopti Region, of which they have lost partial control to the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA).

I agree with the article. It is out and out war on the streets. In Europe I cycled all over the place with a feeling of great safety from traffic. Here I have simply given up because it is too dangerous. A few examples none of which happened just once. 1)Hoons run up close from behind and suddenly overtake and veer away shouting and gesticulating.
2) Cars run you off the road when taking left turns. It is as if you dont exist.
3)People don't bother to check for cyclists when parked in a cycle lane and opening the driver door to get out.....heh...their just might be a cyclist on the cycle lane!
4) At traffic lights green and you are only vehicle straight through. You still have right of way,but cars turning right from opposite direction frequently just ignore your presence, even if you have started out before them and are directly in their path.
I wont bore you with other examples... Helmets are a red herring. In Europe primary school children are taught to cycle on the roads in groups and as individuals as part of the school curriculum. Thus immediately learning respect for road rules from cyclists perspective as well as learning to respect other vehicles rights on the road.
Here the attitude is either fear of cyclists through an ignorance of knowing how to deal with them or an egocentric school yard bully approach in which the motor engine is seen as the only legitimate user and cyclists are these pesky ursurpers who deserve what they get and flout all the road rules( of course the motor vehicle users would never flout the rules would they?..... Lets educate all road users to have courtesy and respect for each other and cycling as a viable option for those other than the lycra clad gladiators of the road.

NFL Injury Report
Last updated 11/12/14
The Houston Texans and Arian Foster are waiting until the
running back's calf injury is 100-percent healed before he joins his team in training
camp. He's apparently approaching that mark, as general manager Rick Smith told
Josina Anderson of ESPN that Foster is "very close" to practicing.
"We want to make sure that he is totally 100 percent
ready. So he's very close," Smith said. "We are just making sure that
he is ready to go when we let him loose. We are being cautious and taking that
slowly, but I have no worries that that is going to be something that he is
going to have to deal with."
Smith added that he doesn't expect the calf injury to be one
that lingers through the 2013 season. That's good news for Texans fans and
fantasy owners alike, as leg injuries to the calf and hamstring have a tendency
of being aggravated. Houston hopes to avoid this by taking things slow with
Foster even after he's activated from the physically unable to perform list and
begins practicing. This could happen as soon as today, based on reports.

It's all about where you have been. I would get on Prisco if it weren't for the fact that every single fan is doing the same thing. If you look at his latest Power Poll he has SD number 1 and the Pats number 4. Now I have no problem in the world with those rankings. What I do have a problem with is the comments. Remember, the Chargers have had less then stellar games the last few weeks against two of the worse teams in the league. The Pats on the other hand, Beat the best team in the NFC, and played a close game with a real bad team in the Lions. But check out the comments So let me get this straight. When the Chargers do it, it's the mark of a good team. But when the Pats do it they have to be carefull??? the Chargers allowed more points in one game against the Bills then the Pats D did in 2 games combined (7 points from the Pats were on a fumble return). And this was against a Buffalo team that lost to the team the Pats beat. It seems it is all about where you have been. When you have been Champs 3 times in the last 5 seasons, anything less then total domination is frowned upon. And Prisco and the rest of us are all guilty of it!
That is pretty damn funny. Not to mention the Chargers' near misses against the Raiders and Bengals too.
Well, the one counter-argument I can see for Prisco - Good teams win ugly on the road. Do good teams win ugly at home? The win is all that matters, but maybe that's the difference Prisco had in mind. SD was across the country at Buffalo, we were right at home for the second straight week and up against a bad team.
That's part of it. I think also that nationally, the Bills are seen as a mediocre team. The Lions are seen as the worst or second-worst team in the league.
Didn't SD just scrape by and win ugly at home against the mighty Raiders(who are probably worse then Detriot) with the help of an extremely controversial call?
Not to mention the ESPN Power Rankings have us at #5 BEHIND the Bears. Whatever. It's all meaningless conjecture...
I think SD is the team to beat in the AFC. I also think the Pats are the second best team. Having said that I think the Pats will be the AFC champions (again).

Does anyone use this app? If so which version did you dwnld from the marketplace? There's the ultimate version, the plus version, the beta version... I wound up dwnlding the ultimate version (twice), couldn't find the app and also it said that wasn't the main app anyway so I did get refunded for both. I wanted Juice Defender because I'm using 3G Watchdog and it uses either JD or APNDroid for turning off 3G and stuff. Thanks. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using DroidForums
I use JD and it works awesome. I've recommended it to a couple Droid 2 users who were complaining about short battery life and they said that it helped them a lot. Hope this helps! Sent from my rooted Droid Incredible using Droid Forums app.
Ohh, and the light version is all you will need. The second option in your settings will work fine. It turns off the 3g when the screen is off then comes back on when you wake the phone. There is also a widget so you can forfeit to stay on or off Sent from my rooted Droid Incredible using Droid Forums app.
Hi Cutiedroid, To run JuiceDefender Ultimate you need the basic package "JuiceDefender - Battery Saver" or "JuiceDefender Beta" alternatively. What JD Ultimate does is it unlocks all the power saving features available on JuiceDefender.
Yes, I dwnlded JD Beta last night and it loaded, no problems. So is it recommended that I dwnld Ultimate also? I saw the comparo for the three JDs. Does Ultimate make the Beta more stable? And does how does Cyanogenmod play a part with Juice Defender? The Dev recommended it with a wink. (I am rooted but nothing else.) Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using DroidForums
Hey Cutiedroid, the free stable version should be back on the Market shortly. I'll send an update on JuiceDefender's facebook profile as soon as it is back on, stay tuned if you are interested. Meanwhile you can definitely use Beta, it works alright at its present state! And once JuiceDefender - Battery Saver is back on the Market you'll just need to uninstall Beta and install the stable version. You won't need to re-buy Ultimate: any app you buy is associated with your google account - that means it'll be yours forever, even if you change phone
At this point Beta and Ultimate seem to be working just fine. OTOH tho, I tend not to fiddle to much either, so I'm using the customize profile of Ultimate without changing anything. But I'll be on the lookout for Battery Saver. Thanks. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using DroidForums
Hi friend! I'm set for the Juice Defender apps, thanks, and things are working just fine. I do have a question for you. I'm using the widget so what does the x1.37 mean? Is that a percentage of increase for the battery? Not to impressive so far. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using DroidForums
Yes it is. It takes a good 48 hours before you'll get an accurate read of this number. You can also go in and customize the settings. That's the beauty of Ultimate. 1.37 is a third more battery which isn't bad so far! Droid 2 Liberty GB v0.8
I have another question: if that widget number starts out x1.37 but decreases to...x1.17 is that normal? This is unplugged, thru the day, a combination of off and on line activities. I don't think I need small words, but I might need a bit of explanation as to what I'm doing and what I should be looking for with 3G Watchdog and Juice Defender. And thanks as always. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using DroidForums
Each phone is different so the battery life will vary with use. Juice defender uses estimates. The longer you use it, the more accurate it will be. It is normal for it to go up and down. A good idea is to calibrate the battery. Dl the app battery calibration from the market. Droid 2 Liberty GB v0.8
JD and 2.3.4 I'm running Android 2.3.4., and it seems that JD doesn't work with this version of Gingerbread. Has anyone else encountered this? :icon_eek:

Rain pours down on me,
Choking, crushing, throttling me,
Until I can scream no more.
Knees buckle beneath me,
Tears cling to my eyelashes,
Blood sticks to my scraped knees.
(Why, why, why?
Why did you do this to me?
Why did it have to be me?)
I can feel the waves
Rolling toward me, thunder a
Hazy backdrop to my grief.
Bloody fingerprints leave smears
Of red across damp pavement,
My skin is cold, wet, bloodless.
(What did I do to deserve this?
I never hurt you
Not like you hurt me)
My world is crashing, down, down, over me,
I cannot speak. I am mute. Silent.
I cannot breathe. I am dead. Gone.
Fire burns inside me, destroying,
Killing, hurting, but the rain sends
Fragments of cold through my heart.
(Blades flash through the edge of me,
Cutting, tearing, ripping,
Murdering mewho I used to be)
It doesn't get better. It never will.
But at least
I won't drown in this torrent
Of rain and heartache.
At least
you are no longer a part of me.
At least
at last
I can breathe again.

Thought this was gonna be another crappy horror flick but it was waaaaay better then I thought it was gonna be.VERY good
- dukeakasmudge, Tuesday, October 20, 2009
Most of the recent horror movies that I've seen have been so dismal that Dead Birds gets a slightly favorable review just for not being awful, despite the fact that it's not particularly scary. The setting and time period were refreshing and the build-up and pacing of the movie were enjoyable. However, once the full story behind the haunted plantation is revealed, it was disappointingly generic. I only paid about $3 for Dead Birds, and it's worth that price and a hour and a half of the average horror fan's life. And yes, there was a dead bird in the movie, but what's with the name?
- lewiskendell, Wednesday, November 5, 2008
As some of you may already know, atmosphere is the biggest factor for me in any horror film. Dead Birds is drenched with atmosphere. It drowns in it! This is up there with some of the most atmospheric horror films ever made, and I loved every second of it. The atmosphere alone was enough to send chills down my spine. Dead Birds is indeed one spooky ass ghost story. Eerie, breezing night winds that howl within the dark fields. Rumbling thunder from the rainy moonlit sky. Soft spoken whispers in every corner of a dark and creaky old farm house. Ghastly possessions and demonic-like children hiding under the beds. All of this is done at a calm and slow pace, but that's the beauty of it. That's it's charm. It's almost hypnotic, and in many ways relaxing, but spooky at the same time. Dead Birds is a horror movie to get cozy with, underneath the blanket, on a dark and stormy night. This movie isn't like any other horror film we're use to seeing these days. Dead Birds takes us back when horror films relied more on it's settings, with the dark and cold cinematography, as well as the eerie sounds inside the old dark house. It can almost pass for an old black and white horror film, in terms of it's style and way of storytelling. Dead Birds should be a lesson to all the crappy horror films these days. This is one good movie! Amazing story, as well as a perfect thought out back story. A simple, but subtle script. Solid performances from the whole cast. And like I mentioned before, beautiful cinematography! Plus, how can I forget...it's bloody and gory too. Dead Birds should have gotten more play than it did. It's a shame something like this goes unrecognized or even ignored by the horror community. We need more horror movies like this. Dead Birds is a real spooky treat! A solid ghost story. **For people looking for a fast paced horror movie(or something like SAW), look else where.**

KENNETH PETERS, of Bessemer, listens to testimony during trial in the 32nd Circuit Court Friday at the Gogebic County Courthouse in Bessemer. Peters is on trial for allegedly murdering his wife, 79-year-old Ethel Grzena-Peters in August 2012.
BESSEMER — Friday's continuing trial against Kenneth Wayne Peters, 50, of Bessemer, was "unpredictable," according to 32nd Circuit Court Judge Roy Gotham after a day of testimony at the Gogebic County Courthouse.
District attorney Richard Adams called numerous witnesses, presenting a case against Peters for allegedly murdering his wife, Ethel Grzena-Peters, 79, of Bessemer, in August 2012.
Grzena-Peters went missing on Aug. 3, 2012, and her body was found on Aug. 13, 2012, in Watersmeet Township. Peters is charged with first-degree and second-degree murder and vulnerable adult abuse...

Case Study of a Book Published under a Creative Commons License
Posted in Creative Commons/Open Licenses, Digital Scholarship Publications, Open Access, Publishing, Scholarly Books on November 12th, 2014Here's a brief case study of how one book under a Creative Commons license evolved and was accessed.
In 2005, the Association of Research Libraries published my book, the Open Access Bibliography: Liberating Scholarly Literature with E-Prints and Open Access Journals, under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial License. With ARL's agreement, I made an open access PDF available on Digital Scholarship.
In 2006, I converted the book into an open access XHTML website and published the Open Access Bibliography Author Index and the Open Access Bibliography Title Index.
In 2008, I worked with Open Access Directory staff to convert it to wiki format and publish it as the basis for the Bibliography of Open Access.
In 2010, I published Transforming Scholarly Publishing through Open Access: A Bibliography as an open access PDF file, an open access XHTML website, and a low-cost paperback. All versions of the bibliography were under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial License. This derivative work was an updated version of the Open Access Bibliography that was more narrowly focused on scholarly treatments of open access.
Below are the Digital Scholarship use statistics for the two books as of October 31, 2014. In this analysis, only HTML files or PDF files are counted as "page views"; image files and other supporting website files are excluded. This analysis also excludes spider use.
- Open Access Bibliography: Liberating Scholarly Literature with E-Prints and Open Access Journals: over 355,000 page views.
- Transforming Scholarly Publishing through Open Access: A Bibliography: over 152,000 page views.
That's a total of over 507,000 page views. For the measured time period, about 7.9% of all file requests to Digital Scholarship failed. Consequently, I'll eliminate 7.9% of the above page views and estimate that there were over 466,000 successful page views. This tally does not include any access statistics from ARL or the OAD (nor does it include paperback sales).
If the multi-file HTML versions of the books are eliminated from consideration, the two books still had a total of over 173,000 PDF requests (excluding spider requests), adjusted to an estimated 159,000 plus successful PDF requests.
To put these use statistics in perspective, in 2005, Willis Regier (Director of the University of Illinois Press) estimated that the typical university press book sold between 400 to 800 copies.

Simms Dry Creek Chest/Hip Pack
Anyone ever use this?
Is it a gimmick or does it comfortably work. Can you submerge the pack fully under water without soaking everything. I like to wade above my waste and would not like to worry about soaking the stuff inside of it if i wear it like a hip pack. thanks |

I have the camera pack. I've never had a problem and electrical devices don't lie when it comes to salt water. We had boat trouble in Acklins this year and the bag was submerged for over a half an hour while I held the boat. Still no problems.
It was not designed as a fully waterproof pack, in my opinion.
I have the chest pack, and I used it on my last trip to Africa, and as a "pack and go" - pack it is practical. You can throw in a few big streamer-boxes, tippets, leaders, boga-grip, etc., and you have everything together...but the acces to the stuff inside is a bit complicated, and the zippers are a bit hard to pull. but it is definitely splash resistant, and it can take a short plunge, or waves splashing around - with fully closed zippers. your things remain dry in a short -or long rain, too. the "roll top lumbar-chest pack should be fully waterproof...

Hobby Lobby Cessna 337 Skymaster Build Log w/Modifications
This blog is dedicated to my SkyMaster and the modifications I've made to it.
Before I started putting this plane together, I was following a great thread on this plane and collecting ideas: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=519407 Here is my build log... enjoy. |

Was not aware of the Mustang setup.
This is from the Apollo 25A spec: "Handles 5-8 cells with five micro servos. Handles up to 10 cells (3 LiPo) w/ three micro servos. Handles up to 12 cells (6 LiPo) w/two micro servos (25V max input). Supports up to 4 micro servos & Gyro on 3S LiPo." And this is from an email I got back from tech support after explaining my 5 servo, 2 motor setup to them: "We would not recommend the usage of the subject item in the manner stated. You would have to disconnect the BEC on both ESCs and run a 4.8V battery. The servos would overload the BEC." With those two pieces of info, I'm not going to test the BEC unless my model won't lift off the ground with the extra battery. I did save weight by exchanging the motors. |

I've run other ESCs in parallel to share the BEC load...I've encountered no problems. FWIW, I saw in Model Aviation Mag that Castle Creation is releasing a 10A switching BEC for ~$25. I've used UBECs in some of my larger planes, but the CC one looks like a real winner. You can even program it for 4.8v to 6v output. COOL!!!!
You're mods look very familiar to what I've done with mine. My flies perfectly fine with my Esskay 400XT motors. I'm sure you'll have even better performance with your setup. |

The Apollo ESCs will burn eachother up if used in parallel with both BECs active. I talked to tech support about this. That's just the way they are designed. I've heard that CC ESCs do not have this problem because of a diode? in the circuitry.
I taxied my plane around today for fun. The thing turns on a dime! I guess I have a lot of throw in my nose wheel. The motors are super quiet and make that awesome brushless "whoosh". Vantasstic, I drive out to Vegas several times a year. We should get a formation flight photo one day. |
