This 2-piece anti-acne set includes one problematic and one recommended product. The recommended product is the Medicated Gel, a lightweight solution that includes 2.5% benzoyl peroxide to disinfect blemish-prone skin. The Cleansing Pads present problems for skin due to menthol that contain. Moreover, the pH of the pads is too high for the 2% salicylic acid to exfoliate, so that ingredient is wasted.
The Good rating pertains to the Medicated Gel only. The Cleansing Pads definitely merit an Poor rating!
Dual Solutions Intensive Acne Repair addresses pimple problems with two solutions in a single jar. Use the maximum-strength salicylic acid pads in the lower chamber for full-face coverage. They deliver maximum keratolytic action in a concentrated cleansing system, removing dirt and oil while evenly applying the highest level of acne control available without a prescription. And their alcohol-free formula doesn't burn or irritate your skin. Use the effective pimple-clearing gel in the upper chamber to clear up and prevent breakouts. Its benzoyl peroxide formula penetrates the skin to treat pimples at the source, and it's designed to dry invisibly. With Dual Solutions Intensive Acne Repair, you can fight acne the best way every time.
Cleansing Pads (70 pads) Active: Salicylic Acid (2%), Other: Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Xylenesulfonate, Citric Acid, Dmdm Hydantoin, Fragrance, Menthol, Ppg-5-Ceteth-20, Purified Water, Simethicone, Sodium Borate, Tetrasodium EDTA
Medicated Gel (0.4 ounce) Active: Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%), Other: Diazolidinyl Urea, Disodium Edta, Methylparaben, Propylene Glycol, Propylparaben, Purified Water, Pvm/Ma Decadiene Crosspolymer, Sodium Hydroxide
Stridex At-A-Glance
Strengths: A couple of benzoyl peroxide options that are fragrance- and irritant-free.
Weaknesses: All the pads with salicylic acid contain irritants such as menthol, alcohol, or witch hazel; poor cleansers; no oil-absorbing products; no effective AHA or BHA products.
Long a drugstore staple in the anti-acne section of skin-care products, Stridex, like so many lines aimed at blemish-prone skin, has yet to offer an effective range of products. None of the options with salicylic acid are advisable due to the presence of needless irritants, and the cleansers share the same problem. The only bright spot is that Stridex offers two benzoyl peroxide products. They both include 2.5% as an active ingredient, an amount many will find successful, and these are effective, irritant-free, and affordable. Otherwise, this line is seemingly convinced that the path to clear skin involves lots of menthol. If menthol were an anti-acne ally, this line would be a slam-dunk—but it isn't. There isn't a shred of research showing menthol has any benefit for skin, for blemishes or for any skin type. Using these products with their injurious irritants will only hinder skin's healing process and worsen the inflammation seen in most cases of acne.

Lenovo expects the purchase of IBM's low-end server unit and Google's Motorola Mobility unit to be complete by the end of the year, according to the tech giant's CEO.
Twenty years ago this week, Apple Computer released the PowerBook 500 laptop, a high-style model aimed at providing a mobile desktop. It was the first laptop to use a new input device, the trackpad. But this and more came with a bit of sticker shock.
I test a lot of laptops so I frequently get asked to recommend one by friends and family. After almost a year in the rapidly changing mobile landscape, Apple's smallest laptop still gets the nod.

Hot shower, tv worked. Door locked and the ac worked.
Room smelled really weird, floppy mattress, sheets were sticky.
Staff was friendly, room was clean and large. It was the perfect stay.
I liked the knowledgable and courteous staff. The location was great.
Location and having a door that accessed the parking lot.
The front desk person was not as nice as she could of been.
The room was very well appointed for the price.
Smoking and non-smoking rooms were next to or across from each other. Non-smoking rooms still smelled of cigarettes. Interior hallways didn't feel safe at night, any non-guest could have entered from outside.
Great for one to 2 days..no complaints
The room was nice
Free breakfast was terrible. It was dirty walking up the stairs to my room. Trashy. Would not stay again
New hotel so everything was clean & kept.
There were make to order waffles for breakfast which was the highlight, but a very average or below breakfast was offered. I also liked the thermostat to the AC on the wall. It made it easy to control the air conditioner.
There wasn't an ice bucket in my room. That did not make sense to me. Although the room was clean, there were a few things needing to be repaired. a couple of loose tiles on the shower wall for instance.
The breakfast was awesome. It was big and spacious. It was also clean.
Everything! It was an excellent hotel, and we were surprised that it only had a 2.5 star rating. The bed was amazing!
One of the maids was rude to my wife.
Room was very clean and roomy.
I did not like that the towels were not replenished daily. Instead, we were expected to take our dirty towels to the front desk and change them out.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms and hotel were clean. The linens on the bed were great.
We were in a queen room and the bed was too close to the wall. To get out of bed I either had to move sideways or scoot to the end of the bed to get out. I had no light or nightstand on my side of the bed. Pillows on the bed were way too hard.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

The Women's Sports Foundation is a non-profit that advances the lives of women through sports and physical activity.
Meet Coco Vandeweghe: The daughter of athletic royalty, Coco is now making her own mark on the tennis world. Just yesterday, she secured her first victory in a Grand Slam tournament, beating Alberta Brianti at Flushing Meadows. Coco's mother, Tauna, a two-time Olympian, is a long-time Foundation friend and supporter. Coco is definitely one to watch. Learn more about her:
On Sept. 20, 1973, before a crowd of more than 30,000 at the Houston Astrodome, WSF Founder Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 in a match dubbed "The Battle of the Sexes." Played just a year after the passage of "Title IX," an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the match helped legitimize women's athletics and encouraged girls to take up sports. Yesterday was the 38th anniversary of the Battle of the Sexes and, to honor the occasion, we asked our fans on Facebook to share their memories of the momentous event. The best comments follow:
Is it fair to expect women athletes to display superior morals and ethics? Are women penalized to a greater extent when they violate the code of conduct? How do these double standards affect women in sports?

Lunch Lady: Say what? Call the cardiologist: Whataburger's latest too much to handle
"Seventy-six grams of fat on my hips, 76 grams of fat take one down, pass it around 75 grams of fat on my hips..."
I have officially joined the ranks of the nutritionally insane and it was a pretty short trip.
I received an e-mail from my co-worker, tipping me off to the new Chop House Cheddar Burger at Whataburger last week. I'd seen the commercials, and it sounded interesting, so I rounded up the Lunch Buddies.
There was intense e-mail discussion about which Whataburger location would be the best choice, and we flipped the proverbial coin and headed north on I-44 and hooked a U-ey at Maurine Street. It didn't take long to get there or to get my daily allotment of fat grams for about three days.
When we arrived at Whataburger, we were punched in the nose by a malodorous scent as we entered. I presume there were plumbing issues, but let's not go there, shall we?
We got in line behind several Ranch Roundup visitors and waited a minute or two for our turn. I was up first and placed my order for the new Chop House Cheddar Burger combo that came with fries and a large drink. Bonus: You score a free lemon turnover when you order the combo.
There was a slight delay of game when I paid with my credit card. I guess the drive-thru shares the card swiper with the front counter register, so I had to wait a minute for my turn at automatic payment. No biggie, that kind of thing happens.
I didn't know what LB-1 and LB-2 had ordered until our trays arrived. LB-1 also got a Chop House combo, but LB-2 was calorically conscientious and got the grilled chicken Whataburger that's served on a much healthier wheat bun.
When we unwrapped our Chop House Cheddar Burgers, I was blown away by the ingredients: two big beef patties, shredded cheedar cheese, several slices of bacon, grilled onions and a creamy mayo-based steak sauce.
LB-2 was giving the thumbs-up to her grilled chicken, and LB-1 had already dug in to her burger and mumbled her enjoyment. When I took the first bite of my Chop House, I was surprised at the really unique flavor the combination of ingredients has. It was tasty, but more of a "man's man" kind of specialty burger. If you're a meat lover, this burger's for you.
And right about then was when Jiminy Cricket fell out of the light fixture onto our table. Not into any food, just sort of jumped right off the table after his crash landing and hopped along his merry way.
After several bites of my burger, I was just sort of "over it," if you know what I mean. I left half the burger on my tray. It was just more than I could handle.
Now I find, after visiting Whataburger.com, that's a VERY good thing. Whataburger's Chop House Cheddar Burger has 1,170 calories and 76 grams of fat according to the nutritional information page on their Web site.
Someone call a cardiologist, please!
To make this a complete cardiac crisis, the lemon turnover (which was pretty tasty) was another 230 calories and 12 grams of fat. And the fries? Twenty grams more.
I'm thinking my gig is up. When I get to the ER at United Regional, they won't have to ask my name — they'll be able to tell by the EKG who I am.

Tom was the perfect guest in all regards. I enjoyed talking to him about where to eat in the neighborhood and whatever else came up. He left the place spotless, and even gave me a tip on a netflix movie i'd streamed but not yet watched--and a bottle of wine! Happy to have him back as a guest and, if he moved to New york, a friend.
Wonderful guest! Prompt, respectful of our home, and kind. We would love to host him again.

Kristine Drevina, a 34-year-old member of a new Latvian left-opposition party called Jaunlatvija (New Latvia), sits in a cafe and talks about why she got involved in politics. For the past six years, Drevina worked at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. But it dawned on her in early 2008 that "the country is going in the wrong direction, and I have no right to complain if I'm not doing something about it." Her party wants to reorient Latvia away from blindly following neoliberalism and focusing on ethnic tensions. "In the current situation, we have definitive proof that you can't let the markets run completely free. The state has to be involved to assure fair rules for everyone and provide safety nets for the most vulnerable."
Like Drevina, most members of the new party are in their 30s and have studied or worked abroad. "New Latvia will be a test for our democracy. Can we rise to power without a long [money] tail behind us?" Drevina says. The party was founded only two months before the municipal elections and has made minimal gains. But it is determined to boost its visibility and membership before the October 2010 parliamentary elections.
Another new entrant into politics is Laura Mikelsone, Delna's director, who stayed away from politics until last year. She worked in the Ministry of Economics and also as a human resources consultant helping colleagues start a business in China. Now, as part of a team of mostly young women who work at Delna, Mikelsone wants to see leadership that is capable of going beyond nationalism and embracing the full complexity of Latvia's history. "I want a Latvian Obama," she laughs.
As new leaders, activists and artists are charting a more sustainable political and economic agenda, a new generation of entrepreneurs is also emerging to seek ways of creating sustainable businesses. One such is the green cosmetics company Madara, founded by three women in their 30s, which makes its products using local resources, from plants to labor. The women launched the company in 2006, raising small amounts of capital through friends, and have opened a new store in the thick of an economic recession.
While these green shoots are springing up across Latvia, the austerity measures imposed by foreign lenders threaten to slowly burn them out, raising the specter of more social unrest this winter. A growing number of ordinary Latvians are criticizing the ways their government is handling the crisis. They point to the fact that while the United States and the European Union are growing their deficits to provide economic stimulus, Latvia is still pursuing the opposite strategy.
I called Valdis Novikovs in October, four months after I left Latvia, to see how his company that sells off the assets of bankrupt businesses was doing. "Our business is growing, and we recently started negotiating sales with Lithuanians and Belorussians," Novikovs says, catching his breath after a long day of work.
Will Latvia survive this crisis? "Latvians will be fine," Novikovs says with confidence. "The thing is, even when you ask a Latvian how he is doing in the best of times, they always say, just 'OK.' They don't shine with optimism like Americans, but that's deceiving," Novikovs explains. "We have seen worse things than this crisis, and we always survived."

Noise Considerations in Tape Reproduce Amplifiers
The increasing demand for higher signal-to-noise ratio in audio reproduction combined with the use of narrow trackwidths and lower tape speeds make it necessary to use very low noise amplifiers. In this paper, the different types of noise found in a head-amplifier combination will be described. The different types of tape noise will not be included.

Before Kargil war, Musharraf crossed LoC, spent night in India: ex-aide
Hassan drew up the plan to occupy Indian positions along the LoC and convinced then Rawalpindi Corps Commander Lt Gen Mahmud Ahmad, then Chief of General Staff Lt Gen Mohammad Aziz and Musharraf to back the venture, Hussain said.
Hostilities between Indian and Pakistani troops broke out in early May, over a month after Musharraf crossed the LoC and spent a night on the Indian side.
Besides troops from the Northern Light Infantry, soldiers from 31 Azad Kashmir Regiment, 24 Sindh Regiment, Frontier Force Regiment and artillery units participated in the Kargil operation, Hussain said.
Hussain, who based his book on interviews with officers who participated in the fighting in Kargil, dismissed Musharraf's claim that the operation was a success.
"It was a success only till Pakistani forces came face to face with the enemy. In winter, both sides abandoned their positions under a recognised procedure. Our troops crossed the LoC at a time when the enemy was not present. Our troops were not even informed why they were being sent across the LoC," he said.
"I asked commanding officers and brigade commanders about the aims and objectives of the operation but none of them had answer," he added.
The generals who planned the operation had believed that the Indian side would not detect the intrusions till late May or early June 1999 but their surmise proved to be wrong, Hussain said.
Hussain also dismissed Musharraf's recent assertion that Pakistan had lost only 270 soldiers during the Kargil conflict.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
04 Jan 2008 20:55 GMT
Dead students
Durdu Kavak, Diyarbakir's chief prosecutor, said: "Four people have been taken into custody as part of efforts to identify and catch the perpetrators. Several lines of investigation are being pursued."
Police sources said one suspect was a former owner of the car used in the blast and that the police were looking for the person who recently bought the vehicle.
Four of those killed on Thursday were high school students attending classes at a nearby private school. The wounded included about 30 soldiers.
The PKK, which has waged a 23-year campaign for Kurdish self-rule in southeast Turkey, had recently threatened to retaliate against Turkish air strikes on its bases in neighbouring northern Iraq last month.
Explosives seized
Meanwhile, police in Van, to the northeast of Diyarbakir, seized 55 kilogrammes of explosives and hand grenades in a van they had chased and which was found abandoned outside the city early on Friday, local officials said.
The pursuit was launched following a tip-off that bomb attacks similar to the one in Diyarbakir were being plotted in Van.
Nine kilogrammes of explosives and remote-control detonators, believed to belong to the PKK, were seized in a car in the northwestern province of Bursa on Thursday evening, Sehabettin Harput, the local governor said.
Harput said that the driver had also been detained.
In Ankara, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's prime minister, said more suspects could be detained for the Diyarbakir blast and accused the PKK of mounting the attack.
Erdogan said: "The terrorist organisation has and never will represent our Kurdish citizens... We will continue to fight them with determination and without concessions. This is an attack against our unity and solidarity."
PKK 'panic'
Yasar Buyukanit, the head of Turkey's army, said that the blast reflected "panic" in PKK ranks following Turkey's air raids on the group's camps in the mountains of northern Iraq, which the fighters use as a springboard for cross-border attacks inside Turkey.
"They are in panic over the losses they suffered in northern Iraq. But this will not change the end they will face," Buyukanit said during a visit to Diyarbakir.
The Turkish military has so far confirmed three air strikes against PKK targets in northern Iraq since December 16, which are being conducted with assitance from US intelligence.
It has said at least 150 PKK fighters have been killed and more than 200 of their positions destroyed.
Shop bomb
Mehdi Eker, Turkey's agriculture minister and himself a Kurd from Diyarbakir, said that Thursday's blast would not weaken the government's determination to improve the rights of the country's Kurds.
"We will fight terrorism on one hand and carry out reforms on the other hand to make Turkey more democratic," he said.
In a separate development, two assailants hurled a bomb into a shop in the eastern Turkish city of Malatya on Friday, injuring two people inside.
Police are studying footage from the shop's security camera and have launched a manhunt for the attackers, one of whom was a woman, who threw the percussion bomb.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the blast.

She's late for rehearsals. She's late for performances. She's late for drug tests and visitations and court dates.
But Britney Spears' latest album?
Britney's album — the aptly named Blackout – was originally supposed to be released on November 13. Her label has pushed the release date up to October 30, ostensibly because so much of it has leaked online already.
"Due to these numerous unauthorized online leaks, the label is doing everything possible to prevent and avoid any further illegal distribution of songs including moving up the release date of the album to Oct. 30," a rep for Jive Records says in a statement.
Yeah, right.
Jive doesn't want Britney to go head-to-head with Celine Dion, who's releasing her highly anticipated new album (which probably doesn't suck) on November 13.

TaurOs Project
TaurOs Project or Tauros Programme is a cooperation between the Dutch foundation Stichting Taurus and universities such as the Wageningen University and Research Centre. It is an international effort to breed a type of cattle that resembles the extinct aurochs, the wild ancestor of domestic cattle to a large extent.
The project largely uses hardy cattle breeds with optic resemblance to the extinct aurochs. By crossbreeding and selective breeding it tries to establish similarity to the aurochs. The longterm goal is to release these Tauros cattle into rewilding areas.
Megaherbivores are considered important tools of nature conservation in maintaining the biodiversity of open or park-like landscapes without human interference. Therefore, it is planned to reintroduce large game in several reserves to recreate the natural dynamics of the European ecosystems. The aurochs was one of the most important European ungulates, but was hunted to extinction over most of Europe in the Middle Ages. Despite attempts at conservation, the last known pure-bred auroch died in Jaktorów Forest, Poland in 1627.[1] Thus, so-called rewilding has to work with its domesticated descendants, of which several breeds are hardy and robust enough to fill this gap. In many grazing projects, especially in Germany, Heck cattle is used, together with Galloways and Highland cattle. Heck cattle originated in the 1920s as an attempt by Lutz and Heinz Heck to breed an aurochs look-alike from several cattle breeds. Heck cattle turned out to be a hardy breed, but is found to be considerably different from the aurochs in several aspects.[2]
TaurOs Project formed to achieve a breed of cattle which is closer to the aurochs than previous breeding back attempts. This is based on the idea that original features of the aurochs are still present in some, less-derived cattle breeds and can be re-united by crossbreeding and selective breeding to the largest possible degree. Stichting Taurus has been running grazing projects with hardy cattle and horses for years and bought numerous cattle breeds found to be authentic for the project from southern Europe.[3]
Methods and goal[edit]
TaurOs Project uses very hardy cattle breeds, which should preferably resemble the aurochs to a useful extent. Crossbreeding and selective breeding with such breeds should create new lineages which are hoped to come close to the aurochs as much as possible and are fit for being released in European wild reserves. Not only the phenotype and robustness are in the focus of breeding, but also genetic information of the aurochs which might be preserved in these breeds is considered. There are variations within each breed, so selection criteria are necessary to select the individuals that are included on the project. Accordingly, studies are running parallel under the umbrella of the project, e.g., to evaluate possible introgression of wild aurochs into the European cattle population. Furthermore, the food choice and behaviour of the used breeds is examined.[4]
The breeds which are used for crossbreeding mostly stem from the Iberian Peninsula and Italy. For example, these are Sayaguesa Cattle, Pajuna Cattle, Italian Podolica and Maremmana primitivo. Although claimed to be genetically close to the Auroch the Lidia breed (Spanish fighting bull) was not used for the project due to its aggressive behaviour.[5] These primitive breeds decreased in numbers during the last decades, some are highly endangered. Scottish highland cattle is used as well, because this breed has a long and dense coat and is very hardy. Several cross individuals have been born already.[6]
It is expected that there will be about 100 animals by 2015. Members of the project hope that the Tauros cattle will one day be able to move freely in wild herds in European nature areas just as red deer, wild boar, and wolves.[7][8]
Meanwhile, the genetic relationship between a number of cattle breeds and the aurochs is examined.[9]
Breeds in use and present crossbreeding results[edit]
Following robust cattle breeds are presently used:
- Sayaguesa Cattle
- Maremmana primitivo
- Pajuna Cattle
- Limia Cattle
- Maronesa
- Podolica
- Highland Cattle
- Tudanca Cattle
Several crossbred individuals have been born already, the oldest in 2010. A young bull which is the result of crossing Maremmana primitivo with Pajuna already has the colour characteristics of the aurochs, having a black colour with a light eel stripe and a white muzzle ring.[10] Early in 2013, there were 120 cross individuals, some of them belong to the second generation already.[9]
- Netherlands: Several Tauros herds are found in the Netherlands, such as the Keent reserve,[11] Kempen-Broek,[12] and Park Lingezegen.[13]
- Portugal: A new herd was set up starting with Maronesa in Faia Brava.[14]
- Croatia: Another herd was set up in Velebit in 2014 starting with Boskarin cattle.[15]

Darkness Before Dawn (Darkness Before Dawn - Trilogy) (edition 2012)
by J. A. London
Work details
Darkness Before Dawn by J. A. London
No current Talk conversations about this book.
It was kind of slow at the beginning but the ending was really good.
I was attracted to this book by (let's be honest) a great cover and the intriguing concept of humans living under vampire overlords. For all its promise, this book kinda fell flat for me. I felt the characters could have been better developed and the dystopian world the characters inhabited could have been fleshed out more. So, while interesting, this book didn't really live up to its potential and I'm not certain I will continue reading the series.
I checked this book out as an ebook from my library's ebook offerings, hoping for just a quick light read -- and so, based upon my expectations, I'm pretty satisfied with what I got.
Dawn is a teenager living in a dystopian future where, following the events of a long war, vampires have pretty much claimed dominion over humans, who now live sequestered in a handful of cities protected by large walls. An uneasy truce exists between the two species. In order to secure peace, humans must collaborate with the Old Families that rule over the vampires and voluntarily donate blood to them. In return, the Old Families prevent their vampire underlings from attacking and killing humans -- or at least they're supposed to, but there always seems to be attacks within the city and one of Dawn's responsibilities, as emissary of the humans, is to negotiate the terms and reinforcement of the peace treaty with Old Family vampire Valentine.
But things start getting complicated pretty fast. Dawn is young, really young, and even though her parents tried to teach her everything they knew before they died, the entire city doubts her ability to communicate effectively with the feared vampire leader. On top of that, there is a growing movement to cease donating blood to the vampires altogether -- an action which would have consequences that Dawn is horrified to think about. Her boyfriend has been growing distant, and one night, after an ill-advised trip out to a party after which she and her friend are nearly killed by some rogue vampires, she is saved by Victor -- a mysterious young man that she finds irresistible. But what secrets is he hiding?
I enjoyed reading about the politics of the VampHu treaty, and the way that society has developed to exist on such uneasy terms. Dawn was not the most lovable character, and was often quite annoying, but many of the side characters were interesting if sometimes a bit shallow. I liked Victor very much, and Sin -- who appears later on -- was also fun to read. The writing was so-so: passable for a quick read like this despite some shaky dialogue and lacking good description.
The action carries the story along at a brisk pace and there are many questions left unanswered by the end. I'll be reading the next book immediately to find out what happens.
MEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Review to come.
Darkness Before Dawn is a dystopian-paranormal-romance book that takes place in Denver. The book starts off with Dawn, the protagonist, going off to party with her best friend Tegan. The readers quickly learn that Dawn isn't your-every-day average teenager but instead a delegate for Denver. Essentially it is Dawns duty to be an ambassador and communicator between the humans and vampire relations. This is a job that has Dawn both liked and hated. It offer to her by Murdoch Valentine, an ancient noble vampire, after her parents have passed. Dawn, at the start of the novel, has the perfect boyfriend : Michael and is later introduced, and falls in love, with a vampire = creating a love triangle.
Those who are keen for the paranormal romance genre will be intrigue by this book. The writing, a mother-and son duo, flows pleasantly with the quick paste of the novel. This novel does have a moment of dullness. I did not find myself slumping through it or having to takes long breaks from it.
Dawn is quite mature for a YA genre but it makes sense with her background. I know some people complain about her mature-ness but I actually quite like it. Dawn is a character who--throughout the entire novel--I did not find myself hating. She cares deeply for those in her inner circle and worries a lot about others.
However, I have mixed emotions about Michael. Michael and Dawn do work well as a couple but some of the things he did pissed me off and made me pity Dawn. However, there were times when I thought they were paired adorable together. However, I am rooting for Dawn X Tegan not Michael X Tegan.
The character called Sin was awesome...and I wished there were more scenes with him in it.
Problems I had with this book are : a) I found the antagonists scenes were few and there should have been more. b) Things would happen...the chapter would end...and then the readers are left wondering how the protagonist got from point a to point b.
Things I enjoyed about this book: a) fast paste b) written smoothly and flowed easily throughout the entire novel c) Sin d) Victor e) idea of dystopian world that has vampire in it d) character development between Victor and Dawn.
I also really liked Faith and Richard. I hope there is more of them in the next book.
The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 is that while it is a really good book it does not stand out much from other paranormal romance novels. The dystopian setting is a little bit different. I was actually quite hesitant before picking this up because with dystopians I am either for it or against it. Luckily with this novel it was perfect blend.

sleding without the frostbite
While at Moreton I was able to go sand toboganing. This is just as fun as it sounds! The semi desert oasis in the islands center is adorned with gigantic sand dunes reaching over 50 meters long and at an 80 degree angel you can jet pretty fast. The guides give you a rectangular piece of masonite and some wax to prep your makeshift board. While toboganing, the trick is to keep the nose of the board up while lying on your stomach head first. If you bring the nose of the plank down the you most likely eat ***, but it is all in good fun. I had a blast here and have never done anything like it. The guides also showed us a native python they had picked up and a spot where lightning struck and turned the sand into glass. Excellent!

I've used "dd" for creating test files and performing backups across HDDs. No problem.
Currently, I'm trying to use it to test NFS transfer rates. At first, I was varying the block size ("bs" argument)... But this got me thinking, why would I need to vary this argument?
A typical use-case that I want to simulate is:
- Node X has a large data structure in memory
- Node X wants to write it to a file located in a NFS-mounted directory
In this case, the typical C/C++ code for a 2D array would be:
FILE *ptr = fopen("path_to_nfs_area", "w");
for (int i = 0; i < data.size(); ++i)
fwrite(data[i], sizeof(float), width, ptr);
So in this case, we're writing to a buffer in 32bit increments (sizeof(float)) - and since this is a FILE object, it's probably being buffered as well (maybe that's not a good thing, but might be irrelevant for this discussion).
I'm having a hard time making the jump from "dd" writing from if->of in "bs" chunks versus an application writing out variables from memory (and simulating this with dd).
Does it make sense to say that it is pointless to vary the value of "bs" less than the system PAGE_SIZE?
Here's my current understanding, so I don't see why changing the "dd" block size would matter:

Nagin Arraignment Delayed Until Feb. 20
A federal judge has postponed an arraignment for former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on charges he accepted bribes and gratuities from city contractors in exchange for helping them secure millions of dollars in work for the city.
Nagin was scheduled to be arraigned Jan. 31. On Wednesday, however, U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan moved Nagin's arraignment to Feb. 20. Berrigan's order doesn't give a reason for the delay or say if it was requested by Nagin's attorney or federal prosecutors.
A 21-count federal indictment last Friday accuses Nagin of accepting more than $200,000 in bribes, free loads of granite for a family business and trips to Hawaii, Jamaica and other places.
The charges against Nagin include bribery, wire fraud and filing false tax returns.

Another View: Coalition seeks more equitable development around arena
Community Benefits Agreements have been used successfully throughout the nation to address environmental and public health concerns. The Sacramento Coalition for Shared Prosperity has been trying for more than a year to gain the Kings' and city's participation in such an agreement to improve how the project's effects on the environment, public health and safety are mitigated.
Both the city and the Kings refused to take us seriously. They responded meaningfully only 72 hours prior to the deadline for filing suit under the California Environmental Quality Act. By then, it was too little, too late ( "Arena suit is simply extortion", Marcos Breton, June 29). We are not trying to interfere in the construction of the downtown arena because we recognize that the arena could bring prosperity to Sacramento, but only if developed more equitably.
What is "environmental" in all of this? The coalition proposes reducing the arena's carbon footprint; limiting greenhouse gas emissions; and supporting more transit use, bicycling and walking, which are much better for public health and safety, and are the ultimate goals of CEQA.
Housing demographics show that the coming wave of households wants options for a more urban lifestyle. Housing downtown is currently unaffordable and is resulting in a "drive 'til you qualify" pattern that threatens open space, habitat and agriculture in the region. Providing an affordable urban alternative to sprawl would effectively mitigate the impacts of the arena and protect habitat, open space and agriculture.
Sacramento needs more homes for all income levels. Compelling data show a critical need for homes affordable to the 50 percent of Sacramento residents who are lower-income. The city acknowledges 8,411 low-, very low- and extremely low-income homes must be constructed by 2021. Many downtown housing units are single-room-occupancy units, many of which are not regulated or in sound condition. Single-room-occupancy units, while an important housing resource, are designed to reach single people and seniors, not working families.
As low-wage jobs are created by the arena, even more affordable homes will be needed – not just downtown but in the surrounding neighborhoods along transit lines. While the Kings tout that they are contributing $864,000 to affordable homes, this is the minimum fee required by existing law, and would build just eight units. It does not reflect the arena's true impacts or the additional need generated by ancillary developments.
No one in the Sacramento Coalition for Shared Prosperity gets rich if affordable homes are built. Rather, the people who benefit are those who would live, work and spend downtown. They would drive less, use transit more, and thereby protect habitat, open space and agriculture, the intended beneficiaries of CEQA.
