- Works like a dream on KP arms + an amazing moisturizing lotion Review by Vanessa
Quality Price Value I stumbled upon this online or through a magazine sometime in 2012. It was spring and I was finally able to wear short sleeves again but I had developed these terrible bumps on the back of my arms that were new and really horrible feeling and looking. Once I found this product I not only realized what it was (which was a bit of a relief), I was able to use this lotion to get rid of them. It is expensive, but I usually make a bottle last almost a year. I only use it right on where the bumps are and usually use it once every other day with some other more inexpensive lotion on other days. I did have to use a lot at first, but now that they are decreased/almost gone, a mix of good exfoliation and occasionally using this lotion keeps them away/gone. It's a silly thing but I had great skin until a few years ago and these bumps really bother me. All of the DermaDoctor products I have tried have worked magically.
- Only thing that works Review by Liz
Price Value Quality I absolutely love this product because it is the only thing that significantly reduces redness and breakouts on my arms, legs, and (ahem) buttocks. Other lotions just make the skin smooth. I've used this lotion for about two years and can tell when I haven't used it in a few days. I recommend KP to my friends and will stick with this lotion for years to come. Thank you so much, DD!
- Fantastic product Review by Chet
Price Value Quality Although the price is defnitely steep, I could not find any other product that worked as effectively as KP Duty. I've had the worst condition of keratosis pilaris that I have ever seen on anyone except maybe my sister. Extremely red, bumpy, dry and flaky skin that almost looked burned in its appearance. After about 5 weeks of using KP Duty I would say the look of my arms has improved by about 70%. I'm no longer ashamed to show my arms! Thank you DermaDoctor!
- amazing Review by tara
Quality Price Value This stuff is amazing. At first I was wondering if I may have spent too much but not now.I have been struggling to find something that would take these ugly red bumps on the backs of my arms away. The price seems high but you really don't need to use alot. I really wish I would have taken a before/after pic- I have been using the product going on 3 weeks and my arms are completely cleared up. I use the lotion with the scrub.
- Helped My Dyshidrotic Eczema Review by Joanie
Quality Price Value I almost didn't buy this product because it is expensive, but I am very happy I did. I have suffered from Eczema my entire life and get Dyshidrotic Eczema on my fingertips making it extremely different to do the most normal of things. I have been battling my recent outbreak for well over a month to no avail. I was going to go to my doctor to get a prescription, but figured I would stop in at my local Ulta Beauty to see if they could recommend anything. They recommended this product and I am happy they did. I put it on last night and by this morning my fingertips had improved majorly! I was shocked. I put it on again this morning and due to it being greasy, I put cotton gloves on top. I am so amazed by how great this product is working in just one day with such a hard form of eczema to treat! My only note is that, at least for my type of eczema, this product does burn but most creams / lotions that doctors prescribe burn when I apply it to my eczema as well so this was not a big concern to me. If anything it burned a lot less than a perscription cream / lotion would. Highly recommend!!!
- Thumbs Up for KP! Review by PJ
Quality Price Value I've been using KP for years. Recently, I became lazy and wasn't applying it regularly. Keratosis Polaris does not get cured! I awoke one a.m. with a flaming, bright red upper thigh & much pain. I thought I'd come down with a case of shingles it was so bad. I rubbed on KP and in 18 hours al was back to normal, smooth skin, red & rash gone. Awesome stuff!
- Only thing that works Review by K
Price Value Quality I have dealt with these bumps on my arms, shoulders and thighs all my life. I've tried using some expensive store bought brands with no results. I've even had an Rx for some lotion but that didn't work either. I am so happy I finally found something that actually works!!
- LOVE THIS STUFF Review by KC
Price Value Quality I have had KP for as long as I can remember & tried everything the dermatologist suggested, nothing worked. Found this lotion & it has changed my skin! It is a bit pricey, but so worth the money. Wish I had taken before & after pictures--it's amazing!
- Best product for chicken bumps Review by Missy
Price Value Quality I have tried many products for Kp and this is the only product that produces results and is very reasonable in price
- KP has improved! Review by Erik
Price Value Quality This product is great at helping smooth KP on the back of the arms etc.,its also great that it is fragrance free.Would be great to see this have salicylic acid instead of glycolic,research shows that it is even better for KP and is can get into the oil gland and unclog pores even better then glycolic,plus its related to aspirin so can be a bit more soothing to skin as well.

Summer Looks at the Office
Since I work in a creative field, I get to dress a little bit more casual and fashion-oriented than others in the building. Not quite weekend casual but certainly comfy and nice without being sloppy. Basically I'm saying that my examples won't be right for every office but it works for me. :)
Here are 3 face and fashion looks:
First is a very comfortable combination of dress, cardigan, and leggings. Rather Spring-Summery and the jersey material feels better than jeans. Gladiator sandals save my feet from wearing heels! A little bubbly, a little shimmery.
Cardigan - Target, Dress - Sirens, Leggings - Target, Gladiator sandals - Michael Kors Kids
And the makeup. Eyeshadow is all from Mineral Magic Cosmetics. (They have fantastic colors!!!)
Mineral Magic Cosmetcs - Self Control and Sunflower eyeshadows
Next is an office-chic look that is secretly just comfy stuff too. An oversized t-shirt tucked into a jersey pencil skirt. My faaaaaaaavorite Michael Kors platform heels are really the only thing making it fancy. Lately I've been big into looking put-together using no accessories, and I think this outfit really does it.
T-shirt and skirt - Forever 21, Shoes - Michael Kors
(please don't mind the mess! I was organizing my bags!)
Nude lips to compliment the deep green eyes. I think this green was from my Coastal Scents bajillion eyeshadow palette. Or maybe it's NYX wildfire.
And finally, what I like to call my "ballerina chic" type of outfit. Short flounce skirt, leggings, breezy tee, and boyfriend cardigan with a belt. I don't know what's wrong with me but I've been obsessed with these oversized t-shirts lately! So comfy, and so many ways to wear them. I think I have around 7 of them, all from Forever 21. :D
Purple Cardigan and Crane T-shirt - Forever 21, Flounce Skirt - Abercrombie kids, Leggings - Anne Klein Petites, Shoes - BCBGirls, Waist Belt - thrifted
There is something to be said for good proportions in clothing. It's the key to minimal accessorizing. I keep thinking back to high school and college when I used to wear huge, gaudy earrings and necklaces all the time. Don't get me wrong, I still love those but I couldn't live without my simple pearl studs now. :)
Anyone else have a current "fashion phase" they are going through? Because I'm sure my simple accessories and big tees won't last me forever!

Are your outfits typical of what the other employees wear? I ask because your outfits, though cute, are not what I would consider professional. For me, it is more important that my clothes are functional so I don't deviate much from slacks and a top, usually with a cardigan to boot.
I can give you suggestions on comfortable footwear should you realize you spend a lot of time on your feet..otherwise i applaud your ability to stay fashionable at work.- AnonymousJuly 23, 2009 at 9:43 PM
I love wearing short flouncy skirts as well--so girly and cute! I'm very petite as well (around 5'2") and I've learned that short skirts are the way to go if you want to avoid your legs looking short and stubby D: I even wear them in the wintertime, paired over woolen tights and snug boots!
ReplyDelete Love your outfits! Especially the middle one - you look so elegant. I feel like I really need to get out of my fashion rut hahaha. I've been wearing the same thing over and over again - usually shorts over leggings + long boyfriend cardigan over a solid tank top. It's not a bad look (I hope not anyway lol) but I've worn it almost every day for 2 quarters + half the summer haha.

First off, the site rocks and is the best free forecasting site by far.
Using Chrome web browser I am experiencing miscellaneous text all over the bottom of the page, like in the forums preview and the reports preview. Its like text got too big for the allotted space.
Using the app on my android- its awful. Im not being critical, but its just plain wrong. Pull up the forecast for a spot and it says tomorrow will be 2-3 foot and red. I click on tomorrow for details and its light sw winds and 1 ft of swell (which should show up as 0-1 and green). Either way, im not crying about the $3 bucks or whatever it was, but it would be cool if the thing worked. There is some sort of disconnect between the hourly details and the daily summary report.

If they did care about user experience then the interface would look pretty different! All they care about is prevent independent developers from writing a stable Skype client with a decent interface!
Phoronix: Skype To Take Action Against Reverse-Engineering
Yesterday we reported on a freelance researcher reverse-engineering the Skype protocol and beginning to write open-source code that would work with this popular VoIP network. A representative of Skype has now contacted Phoronix to inform us they will be taking "all necessary steps" to stop this effort...
If they did care about user experience then the interface would look pretty different! All they care about is prevent independent developers from writing a stable Skype client with a decent interface!
This unauthorized use of our application for malicious activities like spamming/phishing infringes on Skype's intellectual property.
It's already possible to use the official client to send out spam...
There's also a new Skype client for Linux been released yesterday, but with only two fixes, if anyone cares.
uuhhh.. what a surprise....!
MS taking over and ppl start being greedy...
i should count the days until the phone fees on skype rise...
"Best experience" would be to open source it you bloody ......! Besides there has been spam on skype for ages now!
The djinn is out of the bottle. Information about protocol has already been distributed over the internet and torrents. How can they hide it now?
both the developer and the VP in this situation is wrong and an idiot.
the person who reverse engineered skype was taking a pretty big risk of getting caught. telling people he's made progress is even worse of an idea, especially if he didn't release source code. seriously, what was he thinking? did he honestly think that the skype people were just going to simply not do anything about this?
as for skype, contacting michael is not going to do ANYTHING about this problem - he (probably) doesn't personally know the developer and he isn't developing it himself. all it does is make them look like a bunch of douchebags when michael is just a reporter. as much as i like hearing that they're putting a lot of effort into the experience, michael is right in the fact that maybe if the skype linux client were better, people wouldn't feel a need to hack it. however...
i don't think the purpose of the reverse engineering was intended solely to make up for the lack of features that the windows version has. the linux client isn't nearly as updated but imo, it still has all the important features.
I wish people would wake up. This skype crap needs to die already. There are FAR superior OPEN alternatives to this piece of MS TRASH.
As for their legal threats... well they should just shove it up their a$$es. There is NOTHING illegal about reverse engineering, and they have NO RIGHT to interfere with it.

it's no more malicious than the actual skype clientOriginally Posted by Skype PR
IP has nothing to do with spamming or phishing, but I'm sure jargon-dumping works well on management when you're working toward a word count.Originally Posted by Skype PR
Are you speaking on behalf of Skype or the people reverse engineering Skype, because frankly the latter one makes more senseOriginally Posted by Skype PR
CSBOriginally Posted by Skype PRIf the Skype Linux client really is the culmination of you're engineers working tirelessly to ensure that each individual has the best possible experience, then give up.Originally Posted by Skype PR
What a bunch of nonsense; do they really expect the typical inhabitants of a site like this to take that as a valid response? Quit acting like the skype client is some pinnacle of software engineering and you're just trying to be some benevolent defenders of it's integrity. Just be honest.
You got lazy from being the de facto; someone figured out how the protocols work; and now you're afraid a better open client will play embrace, extend, extinguish with your network.
I just received another email from them... Thanking me for posting this article and their response... I guess they don't realize Phoronix supports Linux and open-source...

Top Fun Things To Do With Kids In Miami And South Florida
When you think about Miami and South Florida in general, the first thing that comes to mind is the beach, but there is so much more to have fun with your kids. I know because I have two kids and I constantly need to come up with new and fun activities.
I do think the beach in itself is a wonderful plan, but the tropical weather in Miami sometimes will boycott your plans. The summer tends to be the rainiest season and thunderstorms in the afternoon are the norm. That's why many of the coolest places for kids are indoors; not only are you under A/C to keep you cool despite the sweltering heat and humidity, but you don't need to worry about the rain.
Popular Miami landmarks include South Beach, Little Havana, the Venetian Pool, the Biltmore Hotel, the Miami Seaquarium, Vizcaya Gardens, Jungle Island, Lincoln Road and Casa Casuarina (the Versace mansion), but there is so much more to do. There are great museums and indoor playgrounds that will keep little ones entertained for hours, rain or shine.
Don't be surprised by the amount of Spanish you will hear in Miami. It's part of the charm and influences food, beverages, music and fashion. El Palacio de los Jugos (with several locations) is a Miami must-do for anybody who loves fresh juices, especially made from tropical fruits.
Click through for plenty of ideas with insider tips to have tons of fun with kids in Miami and South Florida.

The Jaguar E-type, proclaimed to be the greatest car ever by anyone who has actually gone near one. Produced in the sixties and seventies as a road going version of super-racers the C-type, D-type and XKSS. A truly volouptous car that has a speedy engine, superb handling, perfect suspension, and one of the most enthralling rides you'll ever get, especially on convertables. Favoured by car fans such as Jay Leno, John Travolta and the Sultan of Brunei.
I really don't see how someone could think that the 'vette is the best car in the world. It looks like a box, drinks the fuel in 35 minutes of racing, has the handling of a rhino, the suspension of a horse-and-cart, it isn't even a good car!

In her article titled "The Zimmerman Acquittal: America's Racist God," Butler writes that, "as a black woman in a nation that has taken too many pains to remind me that I am not a white man, and am not capable of taking care of my reproductive rights, or my voting rights, I know that this American god ain't my god."
"As a matter of fact, I think he's a white racist god with a problem. More importantly, he is carrying a gun and stalking young black men," she adds.
Butler goes on to say that Trayvon Martin's killing was brought on by racism that was influenced by Christianity.
"As a historian of American and African-American religion, I know that the Trayvon Martin moment is just one moment in a history of racism in America that, in large part, has its underpinnings in Christianity and its history," she writes.
The professor goes on to say that her job as an educator should include both the good and the bad side of history and "when the good Christians of America are some of its biggest racists one has to consider our moral responsibility to call out those who clearly are not for human flourishing, no matter what ethnicity a person is."
According to Fox News, Butler, who holds a doctorate and masters degrees in religion from Vanderbilt University as well as a masters in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary, could not be reached for comment.

Washington Capitals (1-3-1) at Ottawa Senators (3-1-1), 7:30 p.m.
(Sports Network) - The Washington Capitals aim to build off their first win of the season when they visit the Ottawa Senators for Tuesday's clash at Scotiabank Place.
The Capitals opened the campaign with an 0-3-1 record before notching a win Sunday against the visiting Buffalo Sabres. The victory also gave head coach Adam Oates his first win as an NHL bench boss.
Alex Ovechkin scored his first goal of the season on Sunday and it proved to be the game-winner as Washington posted a 3-2 victory over the Sabres. Ovechkin, who had a career-low 65 points in 2011-12, has one goal and one assist in five games this season. He has 18 goals and 34 points in 26 career games against Ottawa.
Joel Ward added a goal and an assist, while John Erskine also lit the lamp for the Capitals. Michal Neuvirth turned aside 22 shots in the winning effort.
"Today, I thought we played a pretty complete game," Capitals forward Jason Chimera said. "Neuvy (Neuvirth) played really well for us; he made some big saves for us. The power play got us one, which is huge; Ovi (Ovechkin) got one, which is huge for us."
Washington avoided losing five games to start the season for the first time since going 0-6-0 to begin the 1993-94 campaign.
While Washington is trying to build off its first victory, the Senators will attempt to get back on track in Tuesday's contest. Ottawa began the season 3-0, but has since dropped consecutive games against Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh.
After losing Friday evening in Tampa, the Sens returned home to lose a shootout decision Sunday against the Penguins. Evgeni Malkin's goal in the third round of the shootout was the decisive score and lifted Pittsburgh to the 2-1 triumph in Canada's capital city.
Sidney Crosby and James Neal each scored to start the shootout before Malkin slipped a backhand under the pads of Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson to send the Penguins to victory.
Colin Greening tallied Ottawa's only goal and Anderson registered 33 saves in the setback.
"Tough loss tonight, but the boys were solid in front of me and every point counts," Anderson remarked.
Sunday's tilt began a three-game homestand for Ottawa, which is 1-0-1 as the host this season.
The Senators recalled Mika Zibanejad from their AHL affiliate in Binghamton on Monday and he could play against the Capitals. Zibanejad, the sixth overall pick of the 2011 draft, had one assist in a nine-game stint with Ottawa in 2011-12.
Ottawa will not have top center Jason Spezza on Tuesday, as he's sitting out with an upper body injury. Spezza has posted a point in each of his five games this season, tallying two goals and three assists.
Washington won three of four meetings against the Sens in the 2011-12 and the Capitals have claimed six of eight overall in this series. Ottawa has posted wins in two of its last three home tests against the Caps.

TRAINING LEVEL: Basic
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 7 Maximum: 12
This 4.5-day course prepares instructors who teach from a complete set of training materials (instructor manuals, participant workbooks, and visual aids) developed by training professionals. In addition, this course will teach instructors who need to create their own courses or modify existing courses, how to develop instructionally sound learning outcomes, instructor manuals, visual aids, exercises, workshops, and assessments. The course also uses practical techniques to reinforce the various skills need to develop sound course material.
The Instructor Development Course (IDC) will provide new and experienced instructors the knowledge and skills to deliver more effective training. NHI defines training as a "demonstration of acquired skills and knowledge of adult learning principles which necessitates that learning outcomes be developed and their attainment be measured."
A skilled trainer, therefore, will emphasize the use of experiential learning techniques, such as problem solving analysis, discussion, question and answer sessions, group activities, demonstrations, role-plays, etc. In essence, these learning activities tap into the knowledge and skills that an adult learner brings to the classroom and have the goal of meeting both the learning outcomes and the participants' expectations.
Pre-Class Assignment:
Training Sessions: You must come prepared to present a 15-minute training session at the beginning of the workshop. The topic for your session should be job related; it can either come from a course you have taught, will be teaching, or are developing. The 15 minutes typically translate to about 5 to 7 minutes of content with time for exercises, activities and/or questions, etc. Visual aids, such as overhead transparencies or handouts should be brought with you. Please bring your own laptop computer if you are planning to do a PowerPoint presentation.
A word of caution, not all training facilities are equipped with the appropriate technical support for a PowerPoint presentation (i.e., in-focus projector or support software) or have the equipment to reproduce overhead transparencies. For this reason, we encourage you to make use various types of visual aids, such as flip charts, write-on transparencies, and handouts to enhance your training session. These nontechnical methods will NOT diminish, but enhance the value of your presentation. Use a holistic approach in your training.
The Golden Rule for a Trainer/Instructor is: "Always be prepared to instruct."
Readings: Read the Instructional Systems Design (ISD) material posted on the NHI web site. To access the material go to http://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov, under "About NHI" at the bottom of the page, select "NHI Philosophy on Learning", select "Adult Learning" (Print and Read), and select "Instructional Systems Design (ISD)" (Print and Read).

God Is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World
God Is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World (Paperback)
In the twenty-first century, religion remains the single greatest influence in the world. But, argues religion scholar Stephen Prothero, persistent attempts to portray all religions as different paths to the same God overlook the distinct human problem that each seeks to solve. For example:
Islam: the problem is pride / the solution is submission
Christianity: the problem is sin / the solution is salvation
Buddhism: the problem is suffering / the solution is awakening
Judaism: the problem is exile / the solution is to return to God
God Is Not One is an indispensable guide to the questions human beings have asked for millenniaand to the disparate paths we are taking to answer them today.
About the Author
STEPHEN PROTHERO is the New York Times bestselling author of Religious Literacy and God Is Not One, a professor of religion at Boston University, and a senior fellow at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. His work has been featured on the cover of Time magazine, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, National Public Radio, and other top national media outlets. He blogs for CNN's Belief Blog and writes for the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, USA Today, The Washington Post, and other publications.

Praise for God Is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World…
"enormously timely, thoughtful and balanced"
-Los Angeles Times
"God is Not One is 2010's must-read for anyone religiously illiterate….Don't know much about the world's faiths? Get a copy now."
-The Daily Beast
"Provocative, thoughtful, fiercely intelligent and, for both believing and nonbelieving, formal and informal students of religion, a must-read."
"An urgently needed and very nicely done corrective to politically correct nonsense."
-Rodney Stark, author of Discovering God: The Origins of the Great Religions and the Evolution of Faith
"Stephen Prothero has done it again. This is a powerfully-written, paradigm-shifting book. How religious differences can be a bridge of cooperation rather than a bomb of destruction is one of the most important challenges of our era, and Prothero is as good a guide as you will find."
-Eboo Patel, founder and executive director of Interfaith Youth Core and author of Acts of Faith
"This book could well be the most highly readable, accurate, and up-to-date introduction to the world's major religions."
-Harvey Cox, Hollis Research Professor of Divinity, Harvard University, and author of The Future of Faith
"A very much needed book!"
-Miroslav Volf, Professor, Yale University, and author of Exclusion and Embrace

Wrestlemania and frankly, there�s only one match in that list that I wouldn�t
list as a bathroom break. So I�m going to throw out my proposed Wrestlemania
card and hope someone with some clout within WWE sees it and tries to pass off
my ideas as their own. This way I haven�t paid X amount of dollars to simply
freeze my tail off in New Jersey while staring blankly at an 18x18 foot
wrestling ring. <>>
First off, for those that
may not have seen them, here are the �rumored� matches and the reasons why I
don�t want to see them. <>>
The Rock vs. John Cena
Wrestlemania 28
Photo courtesy: WWE
John Cena vs. The Rock: I saw this match last year and wasn�t excited for
it then so why would I want to see it a second year in a row. Last year�s match
was billed as �Once in a Lifetime.� Surely WWE wouldn�t promote something as
historic and then devalue it a year later, would they? The Rock is a part-time (if that)
wrestler. Why waste him on a guy he�s already fought? The consensus is this
match will happen so Cena can avenge his loss from last year.<>>
Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H: I was there live at SummerSlam when these two
fought. Outside of an appearance by Trips on the Slammy Award episode of RAW,
neither guy has been mentioned since the day after SummerSlam. Much like the
previous match mentioned, the reasoning for this rematch is simply so Triple
can get his win back. Parity
booking is one of the biggest reasons why very few superstars are getting over
with the crowd. <>>
CM Punk vs. Undertaker: I don�t know why this is being talked about other
than if Punk is still champion a Streak vs. Longest Championship Reign match
could have some intrigue. Personally, I think Undertaker should retire with a
20-0 record at Wrestlemania. If he really feels the need to come back for
another match, there�s only one person I want to see face the Undertaker. I�ll
get to that later. <>>
Sin Cara & Rey Mysterio
Photo courtesy: WWE
Rey Mysterio vs. Sin Cara: There have been reports; WWE would pass out lucha
masks (guessing in the style of Rey�s or Sin�s or the hybrid version) for the
crowd to wear in an attempt to set the World Record for most people wearing
lucha masks at one time. This is the one match that I�m not opposed to seeing. <>>
Now, if I were in control,
what would my Wrestlemania 29 card look like? Glad you asked. <>>
The Rock vs. Dean Ambrose: The Rock has faced Cena. At the Royal Rumble, The
Rock will fight CM Punk. If WWE is going to bring back the Rock for Wrestlemania,
I�d prefer to see him face someone new. What better way to help establish a new
star then putting the �Greatest� against a new star many are predicting big
things for in the future. Since The Shield has been helping CM Punk, it�s not
unimaginable to think they may get involved in the Punk/Rock match. If their
interference leads to a Rock loss, a Rock/Ambrose match can easily be set up
for Mania. <>>
John Cena vs. Undertaker? Maybe...
Photo courtesy: WWE
John Cena vs. The
Undertaker: In my opinion, this is
THE money match for an Undertaker return. While Cena doesn�t have a good
win-loss record in the last few Wrestlemanias, he still has the aura around him
that fans would buy the potential for Cena to end the streak. Off the top of my
head, I can�t recall the last time Cena and Taker squared off in a match, which
means it�s also a fresh match-up. <>>
Brock Lesnar vs. Ryback: Paul Heyman represented Brock. Ryback has been
feuding with another Heyman guy in CM Punk and even wrestled Heyman at a recent
show in Madison Square Garden. Wouldn�t it make sense for Heyman to bring back
Brock to seek revenge? The Next Big Thing vs. The Newest Big Thing would be
this generation�s Lesnar vs. Goldberg. Hopefully the match would be better
received, even if Lesnar weren�t going to be around after the match.
Unfortunately, this match up would probably lead to more Gold-Berg chants.
Again though, using a part-time wrestler to help put over a current star makes
more sense than putting two part-time guys in the same match. <>>
3MB vs. The Jonas
Brothers: Wrestlemania is being held
in New Jersey. The Jonas Brothers are from New Jersey. Vince McMahon likes to
use celebrities to get some mainstream publicity. 3MB aren�t being taken
seriously so why not try to draw in the Disney crowd. <>>
CM Punk vs. the Miz
Photo courtesy: WWE
WWE Championship Match:
CM Punk vs. The Miz: This was a hard
match to pick. After looking at the WWE roster, there�s really no one that I
could quickly pick to challenge Punk. While the dream match would be Punk vs.
Steve Austin, as long as Punk is still champion, I don�t think he should have
any major matches against non-fulltime wrestlers. The Miz by being a former
champion gets the title shot by necessity. <>>
World Title Match: Dolph
Ziggler vs. Christian vs. Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton: This means Dolph successfully cashes in the Money
In The Bank briefcase in time to go through all the required rematches with Big
Show before Wrestlemania. Throw in
three former champions, two of whom have been on the sidelines for the better
part of the year so the match feels fresh, as challengers and let Dolph retain
the title as the start of a lengthy, meaningful reign. <>>
Tag Team Title Match:
Team Hell No vs. Tyson Kidd/Justin Gabriel: The tag champs have faced every tag team on
the roster numerous times so this match could easily go on the pre-show
continuing the trend of Daniel Bryan having a lackluster Wrestlemania
appearance. <>>
rest of the show can really be put together by drawing names from a hat.
Looking at the WWE roster, and noticing how often guys wrestle each other, it�s
hard to come up with something unique and interesting. <>>

My daughter and her family came up to visit us. I am happy to say I corrupted them with a bottle of Evan Williams eggnog. They were suitably impressed.
Printable View
My daughter and her family came up to visit us. I am happy to say I corrupted them with a bottle of Evan Williams eggnog. They were suitably impressed.
The wife whipped up a triple batch of Alton Brown's egg nog recipe for our Christmas party Saturday night. She's the nervous sort, so she did the "cooked" variant. We went with Maker's Mark, but she added about half again as much as the recipe called for.
It's awesome stuff. I just enjoyed a nice pour of the leftovers....
You're welcome, Tim. I just checked in here today for the first time in a few weeks (I'm so inactive here that there have been rumors of my death:grin:), and am glad that people are still enjoying the recipe. It has been made literally around the world by readers of SB.com and HomeBrew Digest, where I first shared it.
My daughter is out at the store just now buying ingredients for our annual batch, which we'll enjoy today and tomorrow.
Time for my annual bump to keep this thread alive, and to post a link to the original post I made about my dad's eggnog, which started the thread. I've just reread the thread, and it's good reading. Newcomers might like to read it, too. And I'm still alive, Oscar, despite not posting much!
Just last week I got an email from someone who has made this recipe a family tradition. It's gratifying to see that it's made it around the world, including the Southern Hemisphere, although I don't think it would be quite as appealing on a Australian beach on December 25 as it is in front of the fireplace in Michigan.
Great story behind the recipe! Below is a recipe courtesy of KegWorks for those concerned about raw eggs. It calls for brandy instead of bourbon, but substitutions are not prohibited. I haven't tried it yet. I'm still in the process of collecting egg nogg and punch recipes for the holidays. I need to start experimenting before it's too late.
Easier than Egg Nogg Punch
1 c sugar
1 c dark rum
½ c brandy
2 tbsp vanilla extract
8 c whole milk
Grated nutmeg
1. Dissolve sugar in rum, brandy, and vanilla extract in a very large pitcher (at least ¾-gallon capacity).
2. Add milk and freeze until very cold or slushy (4 - 8 hours).
3. Pour into glasses, sprinkle nutmeg over the top and serve.
I continue to be lazy. Just purchased my yearly bottle of Evan Williams Egg Nog. One of these days, though...
That was part of their pitch.
At the risk of thread drift, KegWorks has some other interesting holiday recipes as well:
I intend on trying Jeff's recipe, but just for giggles I picked up some Anderson-Erickson Egg Nog in the refrigerated section today. Too sweet, but dumping in some Weller Antique cuts it down to a tolerable level. I suppose it's meant to be drunk with added bourbon/rum/brandy. I can't see how anyone could drink it unleaded. Way too sweet.

a librarian is a weird usually older(middle aged) lonely woman. they have weird quirks and often don't know how to interact with children and normal people. they become librarians because they don't fit into the real world. they are ugly and wear hideous clothes. you can often find that they are obese or chubby. they usually live alone in a lonely little apartment in the suburbs with seven cats and don't answer the door to little trick or treaters or girl scouts. they will yell at you for the stupidest shit. they think theyre making the world better by being librarians but everyone really hates them because theyre mean and EVIL!

How do you feel about lakeside views in virtually every direction and an abundance of natural amenities with arm's reach? That's what it's like in Madison Wisconsin. Coined as the City of Four Lakes, Madison is tucked between Monona and Mendota lakes, with Lake Waubesa on the southeast side of the city and Lake Wingra on the southwest. Madison, a progressive-leaning college town and sprawling city, is home to nearly 250,000 people. Although people making the move to apartments in Madison WI will have to deal with the cold winters, the summers here are well worth it. Madison is home to the largest producer-only farmers market in the United States, with more than 160 vendors selling regionally produced products.
The majority of apartments in Madison WI were constructed in the 1980s and later, so people looking for a bit of historic charm may have some difficulty. According to Best Places, the overall cost of living is about 12 percent higher than the national average, but renters will notice the higher cost as a direct reflection of the high quality of life. If you're looking to ditch your car before moving to Madison apartments, you may want to look at rentals in the Capitol, South Campus, Marquette, Vilas and Greenbush neighborhoods, which are the most pedestrian-friendly.
Whether you're looking for apartments in Madison, WI with a metropolitan vibe or near spacious green parks – Madison has it all. Hip young professionals can often be found in the Schenk-Atwood neighborhood, which is known for its tight-knit community vibe. Families may find the Vilas neighborhood to be a better suit, because this area has a suburban feel without distance restrictions from the city and all of its amenities. The Williamson-Marquette - more commonly referred to as Wil-Mar - area has a retro vibe, and is home to several festivals and eccentric businesses.
Many apartments in Madison, WI are occupied by students who attend University of Wisconsin-Madison, which is a world-renowned institute with 20 different schools. Edgewood College, Madison Area Technical College and Herzing University, Madison are other area schools.
Throughout Dane County, renters in Madison apartments have access to a diverse economic environment. Some of the top employers include University of Wisconsin, Madison, UW Health, Epic Systems Corp, American Family Insurance and American Girl Brands. Based on employee engagement, sustainability and diversity, Coventry Village Retirement, UW Credit Union, First Choice Dental and The QTI Group are rated as the best places to work in Madison.

Nevada City native and singer-songwriter and harpist Joanna Newsom is engaged to former Saturday Night Live star Andy Samberg after dating five years, according to multiple reports.
Newsom, 31, released three indie-folk studio albums, "Milk-Eyed Mender" in 2004, "Ys" in 2006 and "Have One on Me" in 2010.
Samberg, 34, is known for his SNL digital shorts and starred in the BBC Three sitcom "Cuckoo" and "Celeste and Jesse Forever" alongside Rashida Jones last year, according to Rolling Stone Magazine.
Pitchfork magazine reported that the couple publicly divulged their engagement at the Film Independent Spirit Awards Saturday, where Newsom wore an engagement ring.
Newsom grew up around Nevada City and worked in downtown Nevada City's Cafe Mecca, said Arthur magazine.
She lived in the Bay Area for many years and studied composition and creative writing at Mills College in Oakland before she dropped out and continued to write and record songs, according to Arthur magazine.

Doing some work on my dolphin boat I was using a tool I came up with to sculpt foam. It is very simple and cheap.
When I need to remove sections of foam from the inside of the hull when using the lost foam method this works great. It is basically a 100watt-soldering gun and some custom bent 12-gage wire. You can get these real cheap at places like Harbor Freight.
Just remove the stock iron tip and replace it with the 12-gage wire bent to whatever shape you need. It will take a minute or so for the wire to heat up enough. This beats trying to cut it out with a knife. When I get it down to a smaller amount of foam left I melt the rest out with Acetone. In this boat I wanted to leave a good amount of foam in the front for emergency floatation. This tool made it easy to scoop out the front and leave what I wanted to save. BD.

TracyChicago,ILHairPlatinum BlondeDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairI Found The Miracle Product I've Been Looking For!!!WOW!!! my hair is past my shoulders, bleached , thinning , and baby fine. --- I blow dry and flat iron it everyday and it's fried!!! I used to use "it's a 10" but it makes my hair kind of gummy throughout the day and it's expensive to use as a daily routine. So I found this "Crazy Sleek" at Wallgreens and tested a little on my fingers and thought , well I'll give it a try and WOW LOOOOOOOOOVE it !!! It doesn't make my hair gummy at all , I put it in my hair before I blow dry because it's too wet to use as a flat iron spray. It makes my hair texture PERFECT, it moisturizes it, closes the cuticle, and mends split ends. it makes it shiny and flowy and detangled all day long. THIS IS LIQUID GOLD TO ME!!!! LOVE IT --- and did I say I LOVE IT --- hahahahaha --- amazing stuff!!!! Please never stop making it !!!!posted Dec 9, 2012Link to this post
Jackie R.HairPlatinum BlondeDry HairColor Treated HairLove <3I LOVE this stuff! Seriously, I went to the store looking for something to protect against my blow drier and this was the only thing that said "heat protector" on it (I live in a tiny town, not a whole lot of selection) but I would NEVER give this up. Its going to be my go-to until the day I die. I think it smells wonderful and fruity, and my hair is so light and fluffy, not to mention STRAIGHT and I don't even have to use the flat iron! I have long, chemically lightened hair and so I need something that can protect it without weighing it down. As long as you don't use to much and DRY YOUR HAIR COMPLETELY it won't crust over. But you have to dry it completely because the heat activates it.posted Jul 10, 2012Link to this post
KaylaMarylandHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairI Love The Way It Makes My Hair Feel!I have long thick curly hair and I bought this because i needed something and i could not find the product my best friend has that i fell in love with. I was deciding on which to buy and i kinda just bought this because it was similar to what my friend had. I got out of the shower, and applied it to my wet hair like it said i then blow dried my hair like i normally do and after i was done that i noticed my hair was a lot more straight then it normally was after i blow dried, so i was happy. I then followed that with flat ironing, and by the time i was done i was so pleased with the results, and not to mention i had high expectations because of what the other product i tried did..and it basically does the same thing.Thank goodness! :) One thing though, i noticed maybe 20 minutes after i finished doing my hair that the end started to curl in like they normally do sometimes..but that may be just because i didn't pay enough attention to the ends when i applied the product. So ill defiantly try to do that next time.:) I love the way it makes my hair feel. It has a nice shine (not that it looks greasy which is great!), and it is very lightweight. Ill continue to use this product over and over to make sure i love it, which i probably will! :) All around great buy! best 5 dollars ive ever spent! Totally would recommend this.:)posted May 21, 2012Link to this post
Tiffany E.Toronto, Ontario, CanadaHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairIt Really Works!I'll start off by saying I am African American with natural hair (not chemically treated or color treated in any way) and this product worked! My only issue: it doesn't spray in a mist, so based on the previous reviews, I took the advice of spraying it in your hand first and then applying it to sections of the hair (while damp). I blow dried first and then flat ironed and my hair is unbelievably soft and shiny. It got it pin straight, and it feels smooth and not weighed down at all! I would give this product a full 5 stars if the pump/product dispensing issue wasn't an issue! Also, my hair has never gotten this straight before with my particular flat iron (HAI Blue Sapphire Titatnium Flat Iron) with only going over each section once!! Use the product sparingly and apply it to each section individually and you will hopefully as great resuls as I did.posted Feb 13, 2012Link to this post

It literally smells like glue! I should've known because I really don't like the way some other got2b products smell - they always seem to work great but smell weird.

HIV care and treatment services are integrated into antenatal care (ANC) services for women testing positive within the ANC at this facility.
Procedure: Integrated ANC, PMTCT, HIV services
Of the 12 study clinics, 6 will be randomized to receive the intervention. At these 6 facilities, health care providers within the ANC department will be trained to also provide HIV/PMTCT care. Women testing positive within ANC clinics at integrated facilities will receive ANC, PMTCT and HIV services within the same visit/same service provider rather than being referred for HIV care and treatment.
No Intervention: Non-Integrated Services
Women testing positive in the ANC department are referred for care at the HIV clinic. HIV care and treatment services are not provided within the ANC at facilities randomized to this arm.
Detailed Description:
This study uses a prospective cluster randomized design. Twelve clinics similar in size, population, and services in Migori district, Kenya that provide ANC have been randomly assigned to receive "integrated ANC, PMTCT & HIV services" (intervention arm) or "non-integrated services" (control arm). At the intervention clinics, pregnant women will receive ANC, PMTCT and HIV care and treatment (including HAART if required) at the same clinic visit from the ANC provider. At the control clinics, women will receive antenatal care and PMTCT services with referral to the HIV care and treatment department located in the same facility. The control sites more closely resemble the current approach followed for care and treatment of HIV-infected pregnant women in Kenya. The content of ANC, PMTCT, and HIV care will be the same in the two study arms and will follow current Kenyan national guidelines. The only difference between the two arms will be the provider/location of HIV care and treatment.
Outcomes will be compared for HIV-positive pregnant women who attend intervention versus control facilities. In addition we will conduct qualitative research with health care providers at the study health facilities in order to learn provider perspectives on the two service models and to explore the effects of integration on provider job satisfaction (including work load).
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Each site must provide ANC services

Fullscreen video is still tearing (with Radeon OSS drivers). How disappointing. Back again to the 10.2 "square" beta.
Hardware video rendering may be disabled for flash 11beta2 for some unknown reason. Hopefully the next beta or release, which ever comes sooner, it will be enabled.
Fullscreen video is still tearing (with Radeon OSS drivers). How disappointing. Back again to the 10.2 "square" beta.
No problems here. I can play 1080p fullscreen videos from youtube. I have ATI 3200HD with OSS drivers running
Hmm, I have no idea. Its ok right after instalation. But here are some things that I change after instalation:

Same here. I guess you also have tearing, but you don't notice it.
Here is screenshot. It I don't see any tearing...
I've always had pretty good luck capturing tearing - you're looking for a frame buffer change happening during screen refresh so one part of the screen shows one image and the other part shows something different (typically objects are slightly offset as a result of moving/animations).
Now, if you can't *see* the tearing (many people can't) I agree it's hard to know exactly when/where to capture it
That's tearing due to the compositor's framebuffer. In fullscreen, the compositor is suspended, so that can't occur.
Real tearing happens due to the monitor displaying something on it that no longer exists in the framebuffer at all. Therefore, it can't be captured with anything else than a camera pointed at the monitor.
Fast moving videos should trigger it. Like this one:

Dawes Appreciation Society

Dawes Appreciation SocietyI know this is going to be a pretty small thread (although fingers crossed someone will pop up a nice Galaxy or Super Galaxy).
I rescued this 1969 Dawes Shadow from the tip a couple of years ago and i'm finally on the home stretch. When i first got it the frame had a fair bit of surface rust, and all the parts were in pretty poor condition. Had a Simplex 'fantastic plastic' rear derailleur, Dawes branded cranks (made by SR i think), Weinmann brakes and steel 27" rims. After my researching suggested it was a plain guage (ie not butted) Reynolds 531 frame i decided to make it a flashy singlespeed (as a contrast to my 'ahem' 'working' Tom Wallace singlspeed). Sandblasted the frame at work then took care of the rust with a bit of hydrochloric acid. The panel beater in the next building to my work turned out to be a keen cyclist (with a gorgeous Vitus tubed Peugeot, which has sadly cracked and been rendered unusable) and was happy to paint the frame in return for some beer and mechanical work on his other bike (lots of cycling+little money means i can do most mechanical work myself). He finished painting it yesterday and this evening i was all set to start work, when close inspection revealed the BB threads to need chasing *sigh.... So it's off to the LBS for that but hopefully i can still have it together by the end of the weekend. For now, this is what it used to look like.

Re: Dawes Appreciation Societycan only get better hey?
i too troll ebay for a dawes galaxy in my size
Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyI had a dawes galaxy, reynolds tubing, perfect size for me.... had to ditch it in france as I was too pov to ship it home
On the bright side, I think I only paid about 150 pounds for it, so not that much of a loss. Still, it was a really great bike, I miss it.
Re: Dawes Appreciation Societysigh...is there a thread for resolving serious mental problems brought on by restoring bikes!?
So i got the BB threads cleaned up at the bike shop, got it home ready to finish the project (at very long last), and start putting in a BB. Drive side goes in ok, left side goes in 3/4 then gets really tight, managed to get it all the way, then find it's unscrewed the other side! Seems the threads weren't bang in alignment and the adjustable cup being a tight fit allowed it to turn the whole cartridge body. A different BB went in fine though. So time for the headset, cups went in fine, then time for the fork crown bearing race (lashed out and got a Ritchey Logic headset), couldn't get it on with my usual 'screwdriver and hammer method (i know, i'm a very bad person). Tried using a vice (the reverse of the removal method in Zinn and the art of mountainbike maintenance) and it wouldn't go on at all. So off to the bike shop (which is actually mainly a tackle shop but i got my first decent bike there, they're a great bunch and they do know what they're doing), tried a race with a larger ID, and using a proper tool, went on fine. Then we remove the tool and the race is cracked right through! Sorry guys . After a bit of discussion we agree i should take it to Noosa Bike Shop (been around for ages and work on much higher end stuff). So i get it back on Monday arvo, the young bloke there reckons he can press the Ritchey race on. In the meantime, this is as far as it can go. P.S. i wrote this whole thing without realising i wasn't logged in, it disappeared and i wrote it all again AAAARRRGGHH!!!

Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyI've just been doing some work on my old 1984 Dawes Countryman. Lovely ride is helped by long wheelbase and Reynolds 531 All Terrain tubing.
Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyFinally sorted (except for decals, which i've misplaced and can't find).
I know i've posted this pic everywhere but i'm just so happy! When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyI don't know how much more of this i can take, finally got to ride the Dawes for the first time this morning (and it does ride very nicely), after only 10k the drive side BB bearing let go (2nd hand BB but it seemed fine, and i've never had one go before), after another 10k going up a hill the driveside cup unthreaded almost halfway! Managed to limp the rest of the way to work but i can't believe the constant problems with this bike, someone must have died on it and their spirit is haunting it.

Re: Dawes Appreciation Society1977 DAWES GALAXY GT
Yep I missed this thread first up but its another photo chance. The plan with this bike is to get it back to how it left the factory however not in the original blue or the rack and guards. Black, chrome with white lines around the lugs has a much more classic look. I've never really gone for touring bikes but this is quite light and has a great riding feeling like a real classic. There's the last few details on my current project before starting this one. I think all it needs is lever hoods, bar tape, cables, frame painted, decals, polish the alloy, tyres. At some point the back wheel buggered up so they put a steel rim on. I might dismantle the wheels just to clean them properly and sorce the correct rim and new spokes.
Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyWelcome to the brotherhood lol. Do you know what make the hubs are? Interesting headtube decal too, mine just had a small plain badge. As for the decals, in case you don't already know, these guys have a pretty good assortment of Dawes decals http://www.hlloydcycles.com/ .
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyThanks "bro" I think I've spent 3 or 4 days trolling the net for info and did read what hubs are on this bike but cant find it again and the hubs are pretty filthy with very lightly etched naming on them so they need cleaning to read.
There certainly an odd brand though. There's info also on head badges stating what years they changed the designs, dammed if I can find it again if I do find good info again I'll copy and post here including your shadow. I do know with certainty mines a 77 GT from the groupset and headbadge and the fact there's no pump brackets the catalog I put in above is from 1979. I've already ordered decals from cyclomondo on ebay there exact replicas of what belongs on this bike, just need to drop super in super galaxy.
Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyThose old ads are great.
Interesting to see that the top spec model had much shorter gearing than the basic model. Better for touring I guess. I thought suicide levers were only on cheaper bikes, but in this case it's only the best one which has them. I'll have to watch out for things like this and not be so quick to say "pass" on bikes with them.
Re: Dawes Appreciation Society
The hubs would been Normandy high flange alloy. This make had virtually cornered the market in the 60's to 80's in the UK for mid range production bicycles, especially those of touring persuasion. Re the head badge, Dawes went from the 'Torch over D' badge in the 50's/60's to the wreathed circle shown on the Galaxy in this thread up to the early 80's (?) then to a small black oval with 'Dawes' in silver. This badge went from alloy to plastic and then to just a transfer on the cheaper models. Cheers Richard
Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyOoh very interesting richard, mine has an alloy badge but i thought it was earlier than that, Serial is PP6971 so i had just assumed either 1969 or 1971, which seemed possible given the plastic Simplex gearing and steel rims.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Dawes Appreciation Society
To me the Dawes Shadow was always an mid range 'Sports' model from the 80's. The colour scheme certainly looks like the ones you used to see around West London in the early 80's (A couple of the local bike shops stocked Dawes and this model seemed pretty popular, must have been good value). Steel rims were quite common on mid range bikes back then, the general public seemed to like them (ie alloy = fragile ) even if they didn't stop in the wet. The Simplex rear derailleur model you have there is the 'improved model (sic) and was available in the UK well into the 80's maybe even until Simplex died as a brand?. I remember seeing them on bicycles in French hypermarkets in the late 80's. Cheers Richard
Re: Dawes Appreciation Society1996 Dawes Super Galaxy Plus
Came with Campy Centaur MTB components & was the top of the line Dawes touring bike back then
Re: Dawes Appreciation Society BEAUTIFUL, what brand are the brakes?
@Richard, i'll dig out the original cranks and see if i can find a date code off them. @jbchy, i checked cyclomondo and unfortunately the only dawes decals he stocks aren't the type mine had, i might email him and see if he has them but just doesn't list them on ebay. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Dawes Appreciation Society
damn that's nice.
Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyChecked the original Dawes branded SR cranks and they were stamped 82 over F in a circle so you were spot on richard. I'm a little disappointed to find out it's not as old as i thought but i replaced the shot BB this arvo and went round the block, man it's a nice bike, so smooth .

Re: Dawes Appreciation Society[quote="singletracking"]1996 Dawes Super Galaxy Plus
Came with Campy Centaur MTB components & was the top of the line Dawes touring bike back then Very sweet bike.
Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyThanks guys.
I acquired the bike in a rather interesting way - outlined in this thread on the BV forums I've done one short tour on it so far and plenty of commuting k's.
The brakes are Campy Centaur - from the MTB group of 1996. I was surprised when I realised exactly what they were!
Re: Dawes Appreciation Society
*smacks forehead. I didn't know Campy had ever made MTB bits, i would have thought they would consider it dirty and beneath them lol. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Dawes Appreciation Society
I havent officially started the Galaxy project but wanted to see the fancy writing on the hubs so just now gave them a light scrub with kero, it looks like mine has Telissier front and Maillard rear hubs also there "both" marked as made in France. It has Weinmann alloy rims as standard though the rear buggered up at some stage and a steely was put on retaining the original hub. That makes an easy choice to take the wheels apart and polish the hubs get new spokes and find a Weinmann rim.
Re: Dawes Appreciation Society
That would be 'Pelisser' front hub A very famous brand that by the 70's was supplying hubs(and nice hubs too!) to mid-range manufacturers like Dawes along with Normandy, both brands (so I am told) owned by Maillard by the 1970's and used to bolster their high-end products. The relationship of the various French hub manufacturers seemed very incestuous by the 1970's, several manufacturer's names being seen on mid-range hubs that really you would have to take a microscope to to see the difference. Maillard top end stuff and MaxiCar are stand out exceptions. Cheers Richard
Re: Dawes Appreciation SocietyJust a heads up for this Dawes on ebay, first i've seen in ages. I'm not interested (tourers don't do it for me) so have a go .

Re: Dawes Appreciation Society
only one person had a go and . immaculate condition, pump n ride......no Reynolds sticker so I can't be sure of steel, My research sees a couple with stickers and mentioned on other forums. Either way it's in very good condition. Fight till the end n never give up. Cadel Evans 2012

Angie's Answers
If the state requires a contractor's license, then he needs to have a license in each state he intends to work in - plus state/local business licenses as applicable.
This does not mean there are not a lot of contractors who cross state lines without proper licensing - the penalties in may cases are not real severe and are just a fine, not criminal, so many take the chance.
As you say - argh - many contractors are not really businessmen and have zero legal education, so many people get burned.
To overlay,with proper adhesion so it does not peel off, you first need to prepare the surface - typically heavy watercutting or sandblasting for concrete over concrete, or high-pressure presure washing and an asphalt (NOT water based cutback) adhesion coat before asphalt overlay.
Because of the prep cost, a concrete overlay commonly costs more than just tearingit out and replacing it, and if you are replacing it due to cracking and breaking up those cracks will almost always propogate or "reflect" through the new layer too with concrete. Ditto with asphalt overlay, though using a crack-stopper fabric can reduce (but usually not eliminate) that.
If just repairing ice melt/freeze thaw deterioration, a cementatious epoxy overlay can be used, though its life is less (normally) than new concrete. Usually used for limited areas like garage area pad, not entire driveways.
Asphalt overlays over somewhat deteriorated concrete can work well,but if not prepared and high-pressure (about 5000 psi or higher) cleaned to remove ALL deteriorated material, they can peel off because they stuck to deteriorated loose material rather than sound concrete. Again, can cost as much for a 1-1/2 to 2 inch overlay as for a 3-4 inch full replacement by the time you are done, because the prep work is labor intensive.
Even if this is just a surficial deterioration issue, I would talk to several contractors (site visit) about alternatives and let them bid both an overlay and a replacement (or whichever options they are inclined to bid on), then after getting opinions from all three and bids for all options, make your decision. I am pretty confident that total replacement will be both the most recommended and the cheapest, at probably about $2-4/SF for asphalt or 4-6/SF for concrete - commonly nearer the lower than higher range for most jobs and locales. If the overlay and replacement cost is pretty close,I would go with the replacement because overlays over concrete are always somewhat iffy as to how long they will last, especially concrete overlays.
For cost comparison, except in extreme freeze-thaw country, you can figure a concrete drive will last about twice as long as an asphalt one.

Now after 3 emails over 5 days, I still have not received a call or returned email.
This is a case of the worst customer service in the world. We just want a complete product that is not full of cracks.
Aside from the issue with the spots, I think they did a good job. They trimmed the grass around the edges and then blew the driveway clean with a blower. The coating process went quickly. I think the entire process took less than 45 minutes.
I would recommend them to my friends, but I would tell my friends to clean up any oil spots first.

LRG: 27% of U.S. TV households have a DVR
Approximately 27 percent of U.S. TV households have at least one digital video recorder (DVR), and 30 percent of those households have more than one DVR, according to new consumer research from Leichtman Research Group (LRG).
And DVR owners are extremely happy with their service – 87 percent would recommend their DVR service to a friend, and 81 percent rate their DVR between an 8 and a 10 on a 10-point scale (with 45 percent rating the service as a 10).
Recorded viewing is not the priority in DVR households, the research found – 68 percent of DVR owners said that they usually watch recorded DVR programs when there is nothing on regularly scheduled TV that they want to watch.
LRG's research also found that:
- 35 percent of DVR owners feel that they spend more time watching programs recorded on their DVR than regularly scheduled programs
- 45 percent of DVR owners record five or fewer programs per week
- 68 percent of digital cable subscribers say that they have used VOD – with 85 percent of this group having used VOD in the past month
- 42 percent of VOD users are more likely to keep digital cable because of on-demand
"The number of U.S. households with DVRs has essentially doubled in the past two years, and – with a continued push from cable, DBS and telco TV providers – will likely double again over the next four years," said Bruce Leichtman, president and principal analyst for LRG. "DVRs, along with on-demand, continue to change the way that many people watch TV. LRG forecasts that DVR and on-demand's share of total TV viewing time in the U.S. will increase from about 6 percent today to 16 percent at the end of 2012."
LRG's findings are based on a survey of 1,300 households throughout the U.S. and are part of LRG's study, "On-Demand TV 2008: A Nationwide Study on VOD and DVRs."
