- Minority languages of China (2007)
- This chapter looks at language endangerment in the People's Republic of China, focusing on three of the main factors that influence language maintenance in China today: increased contact due to population movements and changes in the economy; the population policies of the government, particularly the identification of nationalities and languages; and the education system, particularly bilingual education. Finally, we give a brief account of the major efforts to document endangered languages.
- On describing word order (2006)
- One aspect that is always discussed in language descriptions, no matter how short they may be, is word order. Beginning with Greenberg 1963, it has been common to talk about word order using expressions such as "X is an SOV language", where "S" represents "subject", "0" represents "object", and "V" represents "verb". Statements such as this are based on an assumption of comparability, an assumption that all languages manifest the categories represented by "S", "0", and "V" (among others), and that word order in all languages can be described (and compared) using these categories.
- Direct and indirect speech in Tagalog (2005)
- Tagalog is an Austronesian language of the Philippines. It is the basis for one of the two official languages of the Philippines, Pilipino, and as such potentially spoken by 81 million people, though there are many sub-varieties.

It had good color payoff, though it may be hard to see, given that it is very close to my natural skin color (so it disappears). There are a fair number of comparable shades to this one that you may already have. theBalm Adagio is very similar. Urban Decay Anonymous has a satiny sheen. Urban Decay Walk of Shame is not as warm-toned. MAC Vanilla is lighter, satiny. MAC Blanc Type is less beige. MAC Bisque is very similar. L'Oreal Endless Pearl is lighter, less warm-toned.

UK furniture maker chooses local site for US operationsWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
Allermuir U.S., a UK-based furniture maker, has purchased a 37-acre site in Monclova Township of Lucas County for a major expansion that will include a new headquarters building and manufacturing facilities.
The company's plans include the construction of a 100,000 square-foot facility with an additional 150,000 square feet planned over three years, according to Mark Brettschneider, president of Allermuir U.S.
Allermuir, which launched its American operation here in 2007, needed to expand to meet the growing demand across the U.S. after six years of steady growth, he reported. It claims to be one of the fastest growing producers of furniture for the contract, office, hospitality, leisure, school, and university markets in the U.S.
"We made the decision to launch our U.S. operation in Maumee because of its proximity to all major domestic supply and transportation resources, its regional reputation of having a large, highly skilled labor pool—as well as its exceptionally business-friendly environment," Brettschneider stated in the company's announcement of the expansion.
"This region has been good for us and the way we do business. We decided to put permanent roots down here, retain our employees and add more very shortly," Brettschneider said in a telephone interview.
Brettscheider reported that they expect to close on the purchase of the property shortly and break ground as soon as the snow is gone. The company hopes to move into its new facilities during the first quarter of 2015.
"We have been producing and servicing our products here and our U.S. customers have benefitted from more integrated solutions, faster turnaround and improved service and support. It's been a win-win for all concerned," Brettschneider said.
Allermuir has operated out of leased office and manufacturing space on Holland Road in Maumee since 2007. The new headquarters and manufacturing facilities will replace their current operations, he reported.
After looking at several sites in Michigan and Ohio, Allermuir executives chose a prime parcel at the southeast corner of Jerome Road and Technology Drive in Monclova Township in Lucas County.
With the support of the newly sworn in Mayor D. Michael Collins and his development team, Toledo City Council approved the sale of 37 acres of city owned property to Allermuir on January 2.
"I am grateful to Allermuir for their recognition of our community's workforce and the logistical benefits that this site offers. This is another example of the value that can be realized through the cooperation of all of our economic development partners," Collins stated in the press release.
The project is contingent on due diligence of the property and final approval of state and local incentives, which were negotiated by the Regional Growth Partnership and JobsOhio. In addition, the RGP/JobsOhio team assisted Rudolph/Libbe in the site selection process for this client.
RGP officials expect the state incentives for this project to be approved and announced in March. Other local incentives need to be approved by Lucas County and Monclova Township.
Lucas County Commissioners could approve the enterprise zone and local incentive package for the Allermuir project at one of their February meetings. County officials were not available for comment due to the snow emergency on Feb. 5.
Allermuir has appointed Rudolph/Libbe of Walbridge as construction contractor for the project and Rossetti architectural firm of Detroit to develop the design of its new U.S. facilities.
Allermuir currently employs 68 people in the U.S. and plans to add about 70 employees over a three-year period. In addition to the planned headquarters and manufacturing facility, the company currently operates showrooms near major architectural and interior design centers in New York and Chicago.
Brettschneider explained that Allermuir furniture produced here features sophisticated European styling. The firm is known for fusing fresh, inviting looks with surprising comfort and flexibility, a combination that has strong appeal to designers, specifiers and decision makers who are looking for something unique that is also domestically produced.
Allermuir has become one of the leading producers of contemporary contract furniture with its headquarters in the U.K. and facilities, licensees and partners around the world. With its expanded manufacturing and service presence in the U.S., domestic customers will be able to procure high quality U.S.-made products more quickly and have their purchase managed by an onshore customer service team at the new facilities.
Allermuir has achieved its unique standing by placing a premium on inspired design, according to Brettschneider. Allermuir designs are sleek, edgy and unexpected; the company's styles typically make striking and distinctive contemporary statements, and are as functional as they are comfortable.
The company maintains in-house, fully-staffed research and development, and design departments.
As an ISO14001 company, Allermuir maintains environmental standards to reduce any and all negative impacts in the environment. Allermuir was awarded a sustainability certificate by the Furniture Industry Sustainability Program of the U.K. and has been a sustainability leader in the industry for more than a decade.
Information about the company and its products is available on its website at www.allermuir-usa.com.

Badminton scandal: the game's flawed, not the players
Shuttlecocks at dawn.
Shuttlecocks at dawn.
by Martha Gill Published
When following the best tactics for winning gold gets you disqualified for match-throwing, something is wrong with the game.
Eight badminton players have been kicked out of the Olympics for manipulating the quarter-final draw - two from China, four from South Korea and another two from Indonesia. The players tried to deliberately lose points in round one in order to set up an advantageous round two. Score lower points in the first match, and you'll be pitched against weaker players in the second.
This meant that Tuesday's matches weren't all that that fun to watch, and the subsequent scandal attracted criticism from former British Badminton star Gail Emms (amongst others). She told BBC Five Live:
"You cannot do this in an Olympic Games, this is something that is not acceptable and it just makes not only our sport but the organisers and the poor crowd who had to watch, who pay good money to watch two matches....it was just disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful.
"I would disqualify them."
But the problem with condemning what these players did is that they weren't fixing matches for betting purposes - they were just trying to win overall. The structure of the game, in fact, dictated this move. Perhaps we should be examining all the players who didn't try to exploit the loophole. Are they serious about winning gold?
Bridget Jones said it best:
"I got in the lift to go home and found Daniel in there with Simon from marketing talking about the footballers being arrested for allegedly throwing matches. "Have you heard about this, Bridget?" said Daniel. "Oh yes," I lied, flailing for an opinion. "Actually, I think it's all rather petty. I know it's a thuggish way to behave, but as long as they didn't actually set light to anyone, I don't see what all the fuss is about."

This week, Dave Campbell's Texas Football is counting down the top 50 must-see Texas high school football games in 2014. Keep in mind: this is not necessarily a ranking of the top 50 games, but rather the 50 games you won't want to miss. One rule to remember: each game must feature two Texas teams. We will take a look at the best Texas vs. out of state games later this month.
Monday: Nos. 50-41
Tuesday: Nos. 40-31
Wednesday: Nos. 30-21
TODAY: Nos. 20-11
Friday: Nos. 10-1
20. Austin Westlake at Lake Travis (Week 9)
Of course this game makes the list. Two of Austin's preeminent powers will renew their fierce rivalry in what should more-than-likely prove to be the District 14-6A championship game. Every time the Cavs and the Chaps lace 'em up, it's must-see football. But this year feels especially big, considering the changes both teams have undergone, be it Westlake's high-profile new coach in Todd Dodge or Lake Travis' defensive renaissance thanks to DB James Bailey and LB John Brewer. Expect the usual fireworks.
19. Mart vs. Goldthwaite (Week 1)
These two teams might play in the lowest classification of 11-man football in the state, but don't be surprised if Mary-Hardin Baylor's Crusader Stadium is packed to capacity on August 28. Despite not being in the same district, Mart and Golthwaite have met one numerous occasions over the past five years including in the 2010 state title game, and each contest has been a thriller. So there is no reason to expect any different this season. Mart, 2A DI's No. 1 team, brings back tons of talent on both sides of the ball including our preseason 8-2A DI Offensive MVP DeNerian Thomas and 2A Defensive Player of the Year Collin Nail. But No. 9 Goldthwaite does return seven starters on each side of the ball and topped the Panthers, 39-33, in one of those epic battles a year ago.
18. Stratford at Canadian (Week 9)
The best-kept secret of a rivalry in the state of Texas, we were delighted to see these two longtime rivals back in the same district when realignment came out. And while any of the matchups between Canadian, Stratford and District 1-2A DI bunkmate Wellington are primetime worthy, we went with this one for the sake of the rivalry. Can Canadian's offense keep churning thanks to WR Braiden Galla? Can Stratford's always-stingy defense find an answer thanks to LB Tanner Stone? And what will the emotion be like on the field? This is high school football at its best: two teams from two small towns that know each other well, don't care for one another and will leave it all on the field.
17. Galena Park North Shore at Manvel (Week 2)
As the largest school in 21-6A, North Shore is lock to head to DI in the postseason. Manvel, however, will very likely head down the DII path, which means we won't see these two Houston-area powers collide in the playoffs. So it's only fair that we see them meet up in non-district play. No. 10 North Shore has a new head coach in Jon Kay, but the Mustangs won't miss a beat with talented running back and Texas commit Tristian Houston in the backfield and monster defensive end Dorrance Armstrong holding down the fort on defense. Just three years removed from a state title appearance, No. 11 Manvel is hungry to get back and might have its most talented squad yet. Guys like D'Eriq King, Deontay Anderson, Will Lockett and Internet sensation Gary Haynes are all household names on the recruiting trail and are dynamo players on the gridiron. What a blockbuster matchup down in H-Town.
16. Argyle at Graham (Week 4)
The relatively recent trend of top-tier teams scheduling non-district games against other top-tier teams has us over the moon, so we owe a great deal of thanks to Argyle coach Todd Rodgers and Graham coach Kenny Davidson for setting this one up. It's the defending state champion Argyle, looking to reload after losing 14 starters from a year ago, traveling to take on one of the state's early favorites to win a title in the Steers. The reason Graham's so highly touted: the defense, led by DB Mike Freeze and DE Dustin McWhorter. We don't have a great feel for how Argyle, now sans Ian Sadler, will look offensively, but RB Nick Ralston against that Graham defense has the makings of the best clash of the non-district season.
15. Shiner at Refugio (Week 7)
Two state finalists in one district? That's just ludicrous. Well, maybe not. Thanks to realignment, Refugio dropped down a classification and ended up in 15-2A DI along with Shiner. And both teams return plenty of starters from last year's successful teams, making this game one for the ages. A new era, however, is set to begin in Refugio. Gone is Travis Quintanilla, the state's all-time leading passer, and in is a young, explosive dual-threat signal-caller named Jaylor Mascorro. Refugio head coach Jason Herring told us Mascorro is more than ready to take the reigns and having top-notch weapons like running back Isaiah Perez and wide receiver Tyler Castellano will help him find his groove. Refugio is a guarantee to light up the scoreboard but if there is any team that can slow down the Bobcats, it's Shiner and our preseason 15-2A DI Defensive MVP Dillon Kalina.
14. Longview at Lufkin (Week 1)
If you're headed to the Piney Woods to catch this season-opening game, might we recommend some eye drops? The reason: you won't want to blink. There will be far too much speed on the field for you to risk closing your eyes for even one moment. Whether it's Longview's all-everything running back JaMycal Hasty or Lufkin's blazing wide receiver combo of KeKe Coutee and Terry Mark, there will be an absurd amount of speed on the field for this one. What's even more amazing: there is a decent chance that this is a preview of a bi-district playoff game. That's right: they could meet in Week 1, and then again in Week 12. Buckle up.
13. Cedar Park vs. Aledo (Week 1)
The 2012 4A state champs (Cedar Park) and 2013 4A state champs (Aledo) will meet in the first-ever football game at Baylor's new $250 million McLane Stadium. Needless to say, the venue and atmosphere at this game will be absolutely breathtaking. As for the game itself, spectators — we're sure plenty of neutral Baylor fans will pack the house — will be treated to one of the best non-district games in the state. Aledo brings back tons of firepower from last year's squad, which broke national records and created controversy a year. The Bearcats, however, will have to adjust to not having Tim Buchanan, who unexpectedly stepped down earlier this month, for the first time in roughly 20 years. Cedar Park is the polar opposite of Aledo. The Timberwolves control the clock by running the football and playing smash-mouth defense. It somewhat of an old school meets new school matchup in this one.
12. Manvel at Pearland (Week 11)
When the UIL announced its realignment, we were excited to see the way District 22-6A shook out — Manvel, Pearland and Pearland Dawson all lumped in together, finding it out. When the schedule came out, we were beyond giddy at the notion that Manvel (our early pick to win the district) would travel to Pearland (the biggest challenge to Manvel) in the season finale, for all the district marbles. Nevermind the rankings, which put Manvel at No. 11 and Pearland at No. 15 in Class 6A. The district ramifications alone — and the tantalizing matchup of Manvel's D'Eriq King-led offense against Pearland's Deonte Givens-led defense — are enough to make us get our tickets now.
11. DeSoto vs. Cibolo Steele (Week 4)
Aledo vs. Cedar Park isn't the only monumental non-district game-taking place in Baylor's McLane Stadium this fall. Three weeks after our No. 13 matchup, Dallas-area heavyweight DeSoto and San Antonio-area heavyweight Cibolo Steele meet in a dogfight that's comparable to Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier. DeSoto was a couple of plays away from knocking off Allen in the 6A DI state semifinals a year ago and returns a bevvy of FBS-caliber talent. The receiving corps is stacked with Kevin Thomas, Akile Davis and Prime Prep transfer James Proche while defensive tackle Bryce English, our preseason Defensive Player of the Year, and linebacker Chris Orr lead a salty defense. The Malcolm Brown days at Cibolo Steele are long gone, but quarterback LG Williams has emerged as the face of the program. The Texas State pledge can make special plays with both his arm and his legs. The Knights also have a couple of studs on defense in cornerback Anthony Johnson and defensive tackle Zach Edwards. Down goes…

1. If hell is eternal, why don't Jehovahs Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, and other Restorationist Churches not believe in Eternal Torment. Those churches seem to study the bible pretty well,(Maybe overstudy the bible), but never the less will declare that the bible does not teach Eternal Torment. I believe that they teach Annihilation, but its one step closer to Universalism.
2. If hell is eternal, why was the belief made popular only by Roman Powers? Funny that the supposed original Church of Jesus Christ happens to be headquartered at the same headquarters of the most powerful power of the Western World. However Christian thought combines with Roman powers, and rewrites history to make this claim that their new organization can never make any theological errors, due to the belief that Jesus gave Peter authority over the Church, and went to Rome and established the Papacy and every Church leader of Rome was a direct sucessor of St. Peter. However according to the Bible and a discovery of St. Peters Tomb at Jerusalem, he was never in Rome. But sure convenient how Rome took over all the Churches, decided what was truth and what was Heresy, and assimilated the people into thinking that the Church was always right, and the perfect time to insert the Dogma on Hell, which could never change.
3. If hell is eternal, then why do the Churches go with the times on the teachings of hell. In the Middle Ages, torturing and burning those who disagreed with those on top was completely acceptable. So, it would not be socially acceptable for God to do the same to the wicked. In todays day and age, torture is not socially acceptable. Plus, if anyone were to show acts of violence towards someone because of their religion or sexual orientation, it would be judged as a hate crime. Boy, we could not associate God with someone who would perform hate crimes, so it would be better to say that God does not send anyone to hell, we go to hell for willingly separate ourselves from God, which results in Torture.
4. If hell is eternal, why has this doctrine caused people to ignore simple bible teaching of "Judge not lest ye be judged". Or they put a nice little twist on that scripture and state that its okay to judge if they are without sin, but they are "saved", so they are sinless and can judge. "Your going to hell, your not saved".
5. If hell is eternal, why have most of the biblically contradictive and nonsense doctrines mostly been based on the doctrine of Hell. Lets see, Infant Limbo, Once Saved always, Predestination, Arminianism, Mortal and Venial Sin that can only be forgiven by a priest, along with the philosophy that an offense against an infinite being merits infinite punishment?
6. If hell is eternal, why do people who fully endorse the Hell Dogma produce the worst fruit. They call anyone names who does not agree with their doctrine, but if someone says anything contrary to their beliefs, they are being persecuted. It is some psychological problem when one knows that theres a good chance that their doctrine is not exactly correct, and feel the need to attack anyone with a different opinion.
7. If hell is eternal, why is it that the biggest advocates of Eternal Torment care more about stupid rules, such as wearing skirts, birth control, fasting at certain times of the year, how much one tithes, or a woman not being a housewife, but could care less about a simple commandment like love your neighbor. They are extremely nasty with anyone who does not agree with them, and act extremely arrogant.
8. If hell is eternal, why do people try to avoid hell by treating Rosaries, the Devotion of Divine Mercy, crucifixes, prayer beads, and manmade "Born again" prayers as some type of magical Charm? Last I checked, thats idolatry.
9. If hell is eternal, why does Hell produce the most anxiety when the bible strictly tells us not to be afraid.
10. If hell is eternal, why is it that none of the hell beliefs make any sense? Funny thing is Anxiety based disorders can cause people to have difficulty reasoning, and fear things not really there. Could the people who have been writing about the hell doctrines have been afraid?
The Word of the Lord requires no man to perpetuate.Without His Spirit we would cease to exist. Period.Behold! The Lord allows your very thoughts on this matter!

FORT WAYNE — The last Hoosier to switch from the U.S. House to the Senate has advice for the next one.
"You need a lot of patience because you'll be very frustrated by how slow the process works here," Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., said last week. "Our founders designed it that way, but members over the years have made it even worse."
Coats said the House is far more orderly than the Senate, where either the majority-party leader or minority-party filibusters can prevent, stall or kill bills.
"Sometimes, it's only dire necessity that moves legislation" in the Senate, Coats said.
Then a member of the House from the northeast Indiana district, Coats was appointed to Republican Dan Quayle's vacant Senate seat in 1989 after Quayle became vice president. Quayle himself had been a House member elected to the Senate in 1980.
Coats won a special election in 1990, was re-elected in 1992, sat out the 1998 election and was elected to the Senate again in 2010.
Rep. Joe Donnelly, D-2nd, will be sworn in as a senator Jan. 3 after defeating Republican state Treasurer Richard Mourdock in the Nov. 6 election. Mourdock ousted 36-year incumbent Sen. Richard Lugar in the Republican primary election.
"There are advantages" to being in the Senate, Coats said. "Joe will appreciate not having to run for re-election in 2014 and 2016 and all that comes with that."
A Senate term is six years, and a House term lasts only two. There are other differences: Among the, only the 100-member Senate considers presidential nominations and treaties, while bills affecting revenue must originate in the 435-member House. Rules for floor debate are stricter in the House.
Donnelly will have one advantage Coats lacks: He will be part of the majority party in the Senate. Counting two independents who will caucus with them, Democrats will have a 55-45 edge next year, although their majority is five votes short of stopping GOP filibusters – a procedure for unlimited debate that can doom legislation.
Donnelly, first elected to the House in 2006 to represent the South Bend-area district, attended orientation sessions for new senators last week after returning to Capitol Hill from the congressional election recess.
"What we're trying to do is make sure that from Day 1 we can jump on constituent concerns across the state," he said.
Donnelly has not received committee assignments and declined to say which panels he hopes to join.
"I don't want to jinx anything by laying out, 'Oh, I want this, this, this and this,' " he said. "In talking with (Democratic leaders), the needs of northeast Indiana are very reflected in what we're trying to get done."
Donnelly is a member of the House Veterans' Affairs and Financial Services committees and a former member of the Agriculture Committee. Coats is on the Appropriations, Energy and Natural Resources, Joint Economic and Select Intelligence committees in the Senate.
Donnelly no longer is living out of his office as he has in recent months. He said he has joined two other congressmen in a house owned by a lawmaker.
Asked whether he and his wife, Jill, will be buying a house in the Washington area now that he apparently has six years of job security ahead of him, Donnelly said: "I have not even thought that far. All I know is I have been liberated from my office and have moved down the block to a room smaller than what I grew up in as a child."

Some pivots are having trouble with a flash embed tag's scale attribute. The desired behavior is that the movie scale to fit the size of the element. According to documentation, this should just work. The flash content will not scale, instead the content is getting cropped.
Anyone have experience using Amazon RDS with Heroku?
Several projects at Pivotal have used this combination with great success.
- A project had some intermittently slow queries. The problem was traced back to some large strings in one of the columns. The team solved this problem by overriding the default scope, and only selecting the expensive column when needed.

First off, glad to be here. I have scoured over nearly every page of these BIY threads and really enjoy this site. I can tell this is going to be a lifelong hobby.
Has anyone built an AK that uses mp5 magazines?
I have looked at all the 9mm offerings and I really like the bananna mag look.
I know they will be expensive, but it seems it would not be that hard to get a magwell from a flat.
Also, has anyone made a AK that uses glock 18 mags? A 33rd mag might be neet and the magwell is easily attainable as well.
Thanks guys, this hobby is amazing.

Bill complains to Brooke about Katie, Hope and Katie discuss Bill and Brooke's shortcomings, and Wyatt shares concerns about the diamond's security.
On the Forrester jet, Brooke talks about relaxing in Aspen and tells Bill not to worry about Will. Bill's still bitter about Katie keeping him from his son. Brooke thinks they'll sort it out when they return. Bill snarks, "Not if I'm living in your house." He grumbles about Katie trying to control his life. Bill rants about what Katie's doing at the business as they begin their descent. Brooke feels responsible; she's the reason Katie is ruining his company. She asks Bill if she's worth everything he's had to give up. Bill replies, "Everything in the world." Once in their jeep, Bill says they'll rise above their troubles in Aspen; coming back seems right. Later, they walk and Bill talks about Katie's sense of adventure having died, while they devour challenges. They kiss.
At Spencer Publications, Hope sympathizes with Katie about Brooke and Bill having gone to Aspen together. Hope says she tried to get through to her mother, telling her to listen to her conscience this time. They discuss Katie not letting Bill see Will before he left town. Katie complains about Bill not sticking to a schedule and his priorities. Hope thinks it's only a matter of time until Brooke realizes how wrong this is. Katie appreciates Hope's support, but it's her battle. She asks about the wedding. Hope says it's on hold - she's focusing on her line for now. Katie notes Wyatt has been supportive. Hope says he feels there's nothing they can't do - he's determined to get them even more publicity. Talk turns back to Brooke and Bill. Katie admits she's very concerned about Bill free-climbing. She says neither him or Brooke can control their impulses.
Wyatt, at the Forrester Creations boutique, flashes to Hope asking him about the video email. Caroline and Pam notice him frowning and urge him to charm the guests. Pam flirts with Charlie the security guard. Wyatt says he's keeping an eye on the guy keeping an eye on the diamond. He warns Charlie not to take his eyes off it for a moment. Wyatt complains to Caroline and Pam that he has doubts about the diamond's security. Caroline says Charlie is armed and security seems to be sufficient. Wyatt notices Charlie with a thermos and they approach him. Charlie brags about his coffee and the brownies he baked. Caroline is perturbed. Wyatt grills him about his experience. Charlie is confident there are few more experienced; he has thirty years on the job. He goes on about a good security guard wanting nothing exciting to happen. He muses that if someone got their mitts on the diamond it would make headlines worldwide. Wyatt looks thoughtful as Pam and Charlie talk baking.
Spoilers for Tomorrow on The Bold and the Beautiful:
Bill gets a sexy surprise from Brooke for Halloween.
Wyatt tries to ease Quinn's concerns about Charlie.

Total Glow Self Tanning Cream
Total Glow Self Tanning Cream is a good self-tanning lotion for normal to very dry skin.
Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial Wash
Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial Wash is a standard, vastly overpriced but effective cleansing gel.
Add to Faves?
Elemis At-A-Glance
Strengths: Almost all of the sunscreens contain one of the recommended UVA-protecting actives; a good sunscreen for those with sensitive skin; one good cleanser; the self-tanner is great for dry skin; a few worthwhile products in the men's line.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; many products contain fragrance components that can cause irritation; some of the sunscreens contain embarrassingly low SPF ratings; mostly average yet overpriced moisturizers; no reliable exfoliants; no skin-lightening products; no effective anti-acne products; masks that are bound to confuse skin; claims that entice consumers to believe various plants will prevent wrinkles and revitalize skin.
Elemis products are sold at upscale department stores, such as Nordstrom, and in select spas. The company describes itself as having the most successful professional spa and anti-aging range of products in the world—quite a boast, especially considering that we've never seen Elemis listed on any review or comparison of the financial status of cosmetics companies, and we review that sort of information frequently. I'm comfortable wagering that Aveda, Darphin, Decleor, Sisley, Sothys, or even Yon-Ka have greater sales than Elemis each year, but we suppose they're hoping the fiduciary boast helps establish their credibility stateside. Even if their numbers were accurate, popularity does not necessarily equate to quality; cigarettes and getting a tan are still popular, and both are terrible for skin.
Just like every spa and salon line we've ever reviewed, Elemis uses the exact same approach to skin care that their competition does—touting the miraculous properties of essential oils and the benefits of aromatherapy. Of course, Elemis wants you to believe that their blend of nature and science is the only way to keep your skin looking young and wrinkle-free for as long as possible. As is true for many lines, Elemis has followers, and some of the customers we overheard at our local Nordstrom store were excited about this line. One woman actually commented to her husband: "Look, honey, these are the products used in that expensive spa we went to, so they must be good!" Although we really wanted to tell her that spa products and price tags have nothing to do with formulary excellence, we kept my mouth shut; we get in enough trouble at cosmetics counters as it is.
On first glance we weren't real enthused about this line, and after extensive review and researching their products, we are even less enthused, plus a bit irritated at the paucity of value represented. For the most part, this is nothing more than an average collection of products whose elitist spa positioning allows them to get away with charging an exorbitant amount of money for products that cannot possibly do what they say. Even worse, they may hurt your skin in the process due to the irritating fragrant plant extracts they contain. As expected, sun protection as part of daily skin care is given little attention (their daytime moisturizers top out at a whopping SPF 7), while there are numerous moisturizers and serums claiming to increase skin's dermal respiration, oxygenate tissues, and make inelastic, sagging skin a thing of the past. If you're the type to fall for such false promises and want plants galore, there's not much else we can say to keep you from exploring this line. But if you're skeptical and concerned chiefly with getting the best possible skin care for your needs (and dollars), then Elemis is a line you can safely and absolutely ignore (if you want to splurge there are far better options).
Falling for the Elemis spa trappings, potent fragrances, and "we're-imported-so-we're-better" philosophy won't provide your skin with the litany of ingredients it needs to function at its peak and to resist signs of aging that can be legitimately addressed with state-of-the-art products.

As much as I have defended SW:ToR and bashed SWG, the SWG fanbois won. I miss Galaxies. Now granted. I have always missed SWG, meaning as before the NGE. But now, I actually miss the NGE (the 2010-11 version). There are things about ToR that I do like over the NGE.
1. The classes in ToR over the NGE classes, to me, are phenominal. Playing my Jedi Shadow or My Sentinel, I actually feel like a Jedi. I never did in Galaxies. Granted, I never got a chance to play one prior to the NGE because they swept that rug from under me, but that is another topic. But in the NGE, Jedi never felt like Jedi. The abilities all were "Jedi-esque" and flow with them.
2. The combat system is great in ToR because of the Z-axis. You can actually pull, push, jump and fall in this game where as in Galaxies, it was more 2-dimensional. Galaxies tried to implement this with NGE, but failed in it's attempt because of the lack of the Z-axis.
3. The "Legacy" story ergo, your characters class story to level you up is a 100x better than the NGE legacy story. No need to even go into this explanation.
4. The Warzones, Ops, Flashpoints and Heroics beat out SWG's by far. More interesting. Fun to play.
That is about all that I like about ToR. The things I miss from SWG:
1. The open world. I miss the vastness of SWG. They got this right in my opinion. Yes, they could have added stuff to do in the world, but I think that the Dev team was on the right track with it.
2. Interactions with others. I miss interacting with other players. Even if I didn't talk to anybody, I always could run into somebody out in the wild doing whatever.
3. OWPvP. I miss this also. Running around SF wondering who I was going to get jumped by. ToR needs a heavy dose of this.
4. Space. Nuff said. That is self-explanatory in it's own right.
5. Crafting and resource gathering. Another thing that SWG was the king of and that I wish was in ToR.
So in a nutshell, I love the combat and classes from ToR, but miss everything else that Galaxies has to offer. I wish they would have continued with Galaxies and continued to make it better, but we all know that ship has sailed and is never coming back. Just wanted to say to those who told me that I would miss it when it was gone and that ToR wouldn't live up to my expectations, you were right. Y'all told me so.

I really wish more games implemented PVP the way the old galaxies did it. There was no servers seperated by PVP,PVE or RP. If you wanted to PVP, you flagged yourself PVP and went at it against whoever else was on the other side flagged. I know the carebears didn't like getting flagged when they strolled onto a planet that happened to flip to the other side, but I thought it added a bit of excitment to the mix. The only thing that sucked for me was the wear and tear to your expensive gear after you cloned.
Plus gear wasn't seperated by playstyle. You used what worked best for yourself and how you fought, not by its PVE or PVP designation.I'll never understand why games like to overcomplicate this process.

A good, reliable blaster was anywhere from 30k-50k, depending on the type. Running a couple missions in a day, maybe 2 if you were feeling lazy, and you can completely replace your armor, which tended to be more expensive than other gear. Or you can replace pieces here and there, since only certain parts tended to wear down a whole lot more than the rest. Chestplates, leggings, and helmet come to mind, but most especially the chestplates.
Stuff that was good enough to PvE as well as PvP in. Now, if you wanted the really high end stuff, then yes, you'll pay alot more. But replacing your gear was not a problem to me in the Pre-NGE days (where decay was still in, of course).
Ditto on the stupid seperation of PvE and PvP gear. SWG was one of the games that did it right. The plus side to it, is that due to the deep nature of crafting, a crafter could, upon any specific request, experiment with item to try to attain a specific set of traits. The reason why you could try to get a blaster with high accuracy, moderate damage, moderate action / mind costs. Or some other combination of stats. For PvE and PvP, the gear was all the same.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold."

I could truly care less what many say about "their game" they play now a days or what not but deep down they can see (Unless they are totally numb nutted) that SWG did alot right, alot. As stated so far here, pvp and the gear ideas were just spot on correct and how it always should be. Wanna show how good you truly are, shop around for the best resources, tinker and mess around with numbers and quality on the grades of those resources, craft your armor and weapons ... then... go into a spot, talk smack and then FLAG yourself pvp and see how fun that was.
True there are some things I do not miss about SWG but in all honesty, hands down the best game I have ever played when it came to having fun and playing with an actual community. I can safely say that SWG's community was better than any community on any other game is now. Bring back SWG's community, their pvp, their crafting and resource gathering into a new game now and I"ll be there ready to shell out the purchase price.
((On a side note, I loved going around to each planet and using my recon tools to find the best spot to harvest that awesome grade of resource.. it was a slight rush, like winning a mini game or something haha. ))

Crafting in SWG really was a mini-game, it's too bad SOE didn't market it as such. There were a ton of features in SWG that were never really 'sold' to people even though no other games on the market really had them. Even simple character generation had real depth to it, forget the pre-NGE days when you could do Stat Migration and totally mix-and-match your stats to whatever your playstyle was. Similar to Ultima Online the old SWG game had features that are sorely missed from today's MMO marketplace.
When I played the SW:TOR beta I really was excited by how much work had been done with voice-acting and quests. But right from the get-go there were no 'chat bubbles' so no speaking with people evenwhen they were standing right beside me, and the entire game was instanced, even if there were 100k+ people on the same planet you'd barely bump into maybe 4 or even 5.
The old SWG had 20-man groups.... we would sometimes randomly get together and go harvest animals on Dathomir and other dangerous places because we had enough people noone would die (well, not die too often anyways).
So yes SW:TOR has better hardware, never voice-overs, etc, but many of the concepts behind SW:TOR feel like 5-10 years behind even SWG and UO, pretty sad for MMO fans.

If the NGE that SWG ended its life with was launched today with improved animations the game would be a success. I prefer the Pre-CU days over any version of the NGE but at the end the NGE was pretty good. It just took way to long for it to become decent. I remember when they rolled that crap out on us it was so buggy, almost to the point of not being playable. It sure as hell wasn't enjoyable.
There are lots of things I miss about SWG. There were many things that SWG did right until the very end. It is just the constant mistakes, lies and incompetence that I don't miss at all. I do have to give credit to the few devs they had on board at the end. I don't think anyone cared about that game as much as they did.

The problem isn't that we WERE, and still are, right.
The problem is people's willingness to blindly jump into a product because of a developer's NAME & IP only. The warning signs, for those of us whom knew what to look for, were all over the place in SWTOR. People just don't understand that an MMO's success relies primarily on it's replayability, "End-Game", and depth.
SWTOR had almost zero depth.
SWTOR also had limited replayability once you got to the "End" with your character.
SWTOR's end-game consisted of copy & paste raid content, childishly shallow PVP, and rerolling new characters to experience the "Storyline" for those classes/characters.
Additionally, SWTOR's claim to fame was its voiced & cinematic-like storyline not to mention "Multiple" choices. The problem with an in-depth storyline that the character supposedly has multiple choices to choose from to evolve the story is that content for such a game is VERY hard to produce quickly enough to outpace even "Casual" gamers.
The pure beauty of SWG pre-NGE was that the sandbox elements of the game allowed the players to produce their own entertainment given the specific "rules" and "box" assigned to them by the game. All SOE had to do was continue to produce quality content, dungeons, weapon types, armor types, vehicles, more planets, expand space combat, and expand upon player cities, but above all else expand upon the GCW into a more "Galactic Civil War" than it previously was. SWG SHOULD have been a quality hit, but SOE AND LucasArts completely dropped the ball.
SWTOR will probably even out at around 250,000 subscribers before too long and scuffle along with meager subscriber income for such a high-priced development. They may not even be able to keep up with the interest on all of their hundreds of millions of dollars in loans if they continue to bleed subscribers like they currently are.

But overt CLs as part of the damage calculation were why weapon and armor decay got so bad. They also scr3wd over everyone who wanted to mix combat with noncombat professions. NGE eventually fixed that (years too late) by changing Combat Level to Character Level; I was yelling for that as soon as CU hit, when I wasn't calling for CL to be dropped altogether.

I agree.....SWG was a pretty buggy, and broken down game. I didnt stick around very long in the CU era.
A good trade set up is nice for those that enjoy it. Reserving the land for harvestors n houses is pretty idiotic IMO. PVE is the most player utilized mechanic in MMOs, and SWG lacked in that department.
The flag system was a good thing for those looking to PVP on the drop of a dime. I would suggest it for all games wishing to included PVP. Never force folks into PVP if they dont want it.

It is why sandboxes will remain niche for the forseeable future IMO. PVE brings many more subs than PVP, and there is no way in hell you should be serving those players up for dinner.
Especially in a game like SWG which majorly lacked in the PVE department.
Ah well, Kostors master plan was shot the fuck down by gamers as a whole.

What'z the hapz, Bratz?
This Sunday is the Superbowl! Are you totally psyched?!? I dig any opportunity to get together with my besties, eat some fiery foods and cheer at the top of my lungs! And, just like for any other epic occasion, I'm all about dressing the part! Whether you're cheering for the Seahawks or the Broncos, there are seriously boss looks you can find at home to show off your team spirit!
Jade's Guide to Funky 'n' Fab Football Fashions:
COLORS: Once you know your team colors, it's super easy to support your team by layering the colors! Cheerleaders should take note! We're going to look fabulous.
Seahawks colors: blue, silver and bright green
Broncos colors: orange and blue
EYE SHADOW: There are two ways to show off your spirit in shadow. You can paint each eyelid a diff color. For example, if you're a Broncos fan, color your left eye blue and your right eye orange! Or, use all the colors of your team on each eye. Remember, use the darker colors on the lid and the lighter color above the eye crease. For example, if you are a Seahawks fan, use the darker blue color as eyeliner, cover your eyelid in green up to your eye crease, and then use the lightest color, silver, up to your brow!
NAILS: We are fans of painting every other finger a different team color for alternating awesomeness!
LAYERED SHIRTS: Super easy to do! Bronco fans can wear a blue camisole under an orange shirt. Make sure the blue camisole is longer than the orange shirt and peeks out on the bottom to complete the look. You can also layer your team-colored sweaters, sweatshirts, t-shirts and more! Just make sure the longer shirt is on the bottom.
JEWELRY: Wear it all! Everywhere! We usually recommend being conservative with your accessories, but when it comes to game day, go all out!! I totally encourage you to put on every piece of jewelry you have that is your team colors! The brighter and the danglier, the better!
LACES 'n' RIBBONS: Pick up team-colored shoe laces from your local dollar store and then complete the look by adding team-colored ribbons to your hair.
You will shine with team spirit from head to toe!
Go team!!

Raising the Minimum Nonfat Solids Standard to the National Average in Raw Milk: A Study of Fluid Milk Identity Standards [PDF]
Dairy farmers are becoming increasingly concerned that technological advances in the fractionation of milk could result in a reduction in the volume of nonfat milk solids sold in fluid milk products. Current FDA standards for nonfat solids in fluid milk products are set at a minimum of 8.25 percent, well below the average content in farm milk. Fluid milk products are Class I products under the Federal Milk Marketing Order system and as such return a higher price to dairy farmers. In response to dairy farmers concerns, Congress included a provision in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 directing the Secretary of Agriculture to study the potential impacts of raising the nonfat solids standards to the national average level as it occurs in farm milk and adopting the average true protein level as an additional standard for fluid milk products.

Google pre-announced a mysterious new feature for Gmail. "On Thursday, June 5th we're going to be launching a new Gmail feature that we like to think of as a next evolution of 20% time. It's a change in our development process and in the way users will be able to influence Gmail's design."
20% time is one of the many peculiar things about Google. "The 20 percent time is a well-known part of our philosophy here, enabling engineers to spend one day a week working on projects that aren't necessarily in our job descriptions. You can use the time to develop something new, or if you see something that's broken, you can use the time to fix it."
Google's engineers may work on many side-projects related to Gmail and this could be an opportunity for users to try them, send feedback or influence which features should be further developed and added to Gmail. It's not clear if that's the right interpretation for Google's intentionally-ambiguous text, but we'll find out next Thursday.
It might even match one of my predictions for this year: "Gmail will launch a Google Labs-like site with experimental features that could be added by those who are curious to see the next features before they are officially launched." Instead of releasing entirely new applications on Google Labs, it's more practical for Google to create mini-labs for each important service and expose experimental features that could be added or removed, like in Google Experimental Search.
Update (June 5th): TechCrunch covers Google's announcements. "At 6 pm PDT Gmail will launch Gmail labs under a Gmail tab - all users will have access to it. The first batch will have 13 features." Here are the features:
* a module for quick links (saved searches, important messages)
* superstars (additional star icons)
* pictures in Gmail chat
* fixed width font
* custom keyboard shortcuts
* mouse gestures
* random signature
* signature tweaks (places the signature before the quoted text)
* custom date format
* muzzle (hide the status of your contacts in Gmail chat)
* play Snake inside Gmail
* email addict (blocks the screen for 15 minutes)
* hide unread count
You'll be able to find them in a new tab from the Settings section. Probably the most useful features are: quick links, superstars and custom shortcuts. More about Gmail Labs in a future post.

Vacations are a great chance to get away, relax and recuperate. They also present opportunities to be active through hiking, cycling and many other pursuits.
But even sightseeing and visiting theme parks can require far more activity than many people are accustomed to. In fact, many vacation activities are a good test of your fitness. Unfortunately, many people find out the hard way – sore feet and achy legs, for example – that they weren't prepared for this level of activity. The good news is that regular exercise can prepare you for your next vacation so you can focus on having fun, not your tired body.
There is good reason to choose an active vacation. Spending time outdoors can reduce stress and walking on the beach or snorkeling in the ocean seems like fun, not exercise. The end result is that being active on your vacation adds to the restorative effect of taking time away from your usual routine. In one study, people who had a physically active vacation reported that they felt mentally and physically fitter, felt more balanced and relaxed, could concentrate better during work, were in a better mood and felt more recuperated than those who took it easy.
Even if you don't choose a vacation to participate in a specific exercise, you will likely spend time being active. Most vacation destinations are selected in part because there are interesting sights to see or are easy to get around without a car. This means you will be on your feet a lot more than usual.
Think about a family trip to Disney World. It is not uncommon for people to be on their feet for 12 hours and walk 10 to 15 miles in a single day. Most people don't do that much walking in a typical week. This can lead to blisters, muscle soreness, and fatigue, limiting what you can do and, at the very least, making your time less enjoyable.
Because regular exercise promotes endurance and strength, being fit can make it easier to get through long days on vacation. If you spend much of your time sitting at work and home, visiting a museum or standing in long lines at a theme park can be daunting. But if you spend more of your day up and moving, you will have an easier time in these situations.
Here are some tips to help you prepare for your next active vacation. You should limit your sitting and spend more time standing and moving around at work and at home. This will help you get ready for long days on your feet. Dedicating 30 minutes each day to being active will build endurance, and you can get bigger benefits from doing more. If your vacation will include vigorous exercise, building strength through resistance training and flexibility through stretching or yoga can help you avoid injury.
Your goal should be enjoy your vacation and the extra activity it will likely include. In addition to the numerous other health benefits, improving your fitness through regular physical activity will help you appreciate your vacation time more with less stress, meaning you can return home relaxed and ready to take on your usual routine.
