Not impressed by this apart from Screensaver, but when I enable it it just dims the screen...is that right? Also like the dimming of the light bar.

Nintendo 3DS black screen error revealed
OK as I was sending the 3ds back to Nintendo for investigation/repair, thought I'd remove the parental controls. Took off the parental controls and thought "hold on - the console settings have now changed" so played on and off (as at work) for last couple of hours and no crash. So the problem might not have occurred for me today possibly due to the following:
1) Parental controls causing problems - you guys should be able to confirm this
2) My wifi network is obviously at home, and not got one here at work - so wifi connection is minimum
3) Not played like I would have at home - for 1-2 hours straight
4) Just lucky
I think number 4. Will play at home later, as got lots of crashes last night so this will confirm Reply 0

Charlie Sheen: I'm "Impressed" by Ashton Kutcher's Affair Scandal
Art imitating life?
When Ashton Kutcher replaced Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men, his real life began to mirror the bad boy character Sheen used to play.
"Do you think [that's] intentional? Was it a plan of his?" Sheen, 46, quipped to reporters at Fox's TCA Panel. "I was kind of impressed... I thought, 'Hey, man, make it colorful!'"
PHOTOS: Cheating scandals of the year
Since 33-year-old Kutcher joined the cast of the hit CBS show in spring 2011, his real life has unraveled. On his sixth wedding anniversary with Demi Moore in September, he had a one-night stand with 22-year-old party girl Sara Leal, and in December, Moore announced they were ending their marriage.
VIDEO: Sara Leal recounts her one-night stand with Ashton
So does Sheen, who stars in the upcoming Fox show Anger Management, have any advice for his successor? "No, that's personal stuff that he's got to deal with," he said. "I don't know the man well enough to offer advice. I just wish him well and hope it all ends peacefully."
PHOTOS: 2011's biggest celeb splits
As for the media coverage of his own meltdown in 2011? "It is what it was," he admitted. "But I just try to pick my spots wisely and think a little longer before I speak."

Postgame Thoughts: Never-Say-Die Hawks Rally Again
A few thoughts after tonight's 99-98 loss to the Lakers:
– The Hawks looked dead in the water about midway through the third quarter after the Lakers took a 65-49 lead. But we know these Hawks, and we know they don't lay down. Led by Devin Harris and Kyle Korver off the bench, the Hawks chipped away at the lead and put themselves in position to win a tough road game. It just didn't happen for them tonight.
– Al Horford is having the best stretch of his career. With 24 more points tonight, Horford now has nine straight games of 20+ points and now leads the team in scoring for the season.
– Only one person on our roster has the height to impact Dwight Howard's shots. Johan Petro got some decent first half playing time and did a nice job on Howard. Dwight scored just 11 points on 5-12 shooting. Petro, meanwhile, had six points, eight rebounds and…yes…four steals. Great job keeping the Hawks in the game.
– Korver missed some open looks tonight but did extend his 3-point streak to 52 games. He made twice as many two-pointers (4) as three-pointers (2), which is rare.
– Jeff Teague has had a few tough offensive games in a row after a brilliant stretch in February. Over the past two games, he's just 6-23 from the field. As he goes, the Hawks seem to go. Hopefully he can find the rhythm again.
– It should be once again noted that Larry Drew's ability to draw up out-of-timeout plays is second to none. During the final stretch, the Hawks had several easy dunks and good looks, while the Lakers were forced into contested isolation. In a close game, we'll take our guy over any other.
This is a tough loss for the Hawks, especially because they have to go to a place where visiting teams only go to lose tomorrow night. But the level of play tonight was significantly higher than Friday, and we once again saw that no quit attitude that has propelled this team to a top four spot in the East. Even if they do lose tomorrow (and let's be honest, the Nuggets simply don't know how to lose at home), a 3-3 road trip isn't bad. Maybe (maybe?) we'll catch Denver sleeping.

Since my last post about this, Charter has since been to my house about 10 times. They keep sending guys out here and I have to take 10 minutes out of my day to explain that it isn't me, it's them who are messing my internet up. They claim to fix the problem, then bounce and leave me here with crappy internet. I call customer service who give me the usual "unplug the power cord and wait 30 seconds" bullcrap, then they say that they'll credit my account, I get the bill which is the usual ridiculously expensive price and this is the kind of internet I get.
Worse than 92% of American internet users! I am nearly hysterical with blinding rage right now. This is like African internet! This is disgusting and intolerable. It's been decided. Right before I leave for China, we're switching to Hargray. They're way better and at least they act like they care about their customers. Charter doesn't and they deserve to go out of business for wasting my time. Charter, I will vanquish you.

CUMBERLAND -- As the girls representing the Cumberland A All-Star squad posed for family photos in center field, manager Chris Boddington just smiled, soaking in the joy.
His kids had just clinched the program's fourth consecutive R.I. Little League District IV Major Division (11-12) Tournament crown after rolling to an 8-2 victory over North Smithfield on Tuesday, this before approximately 125 fans at Diamond Hill Park, and the head coach chuckled while holding yet another championship banner.
PAWTUCKET — Since 1910, both young and old have delighted in taking a spin on the handcrafted Looff Carousel in Slater Park. However, while still revered for its architectural beauty and historical significance, a recent fire safety inspection of the century-old structure turned up some modern day fire code violations.
There will be plenty of parades, concerts and fireworks this week in honor of Independence Day and it all begins Wednesday with Woonsocket's annual 4th of July celebration at World War II Memorial Park on Social Street.
The evening begins at 6 p.m. with entertainment by Master of Ceremonies Jeff Gamache who will be crooning patriotic favorites and more.
At 7:30 p.m. the 10-piece Kickin' Brass Band takes over to wow the crowd and a fireworks display will light up the skies around 9:15 p.m.
Event attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and or blankets.

The studio behind the first person zombie hack 'n slasher Dead Island insists they are not working on its sequel.
Escapist Magazine said that Deep Silver, the publisher of Dead Island, denied speculation that they were developing a sequel to the survival horror RPG. Deep Silver's confirmation came after IGN reported that Yager Development was hiring artists to work on the sequel, a story that has since been taken off the web.
Of course, no one can blame them for assuming that work was already underway to bring another Dead Island game to the store shelves. The first game sold well and got moderately positive reviews in the worst cases. It's also infinitely more positive to learn that they aren't trying to rush another title out before roughing out the edges of the first title.
And frankly, as a fan of all things undead, there are more zombie games than there are actual zombies in video games right now. It's nice to know that someone is giving the undead a little time to rest.

Western Region:
Fishing for walleye and smallmouth bass at Deep Creek Lake continues to be good this week for fishermen. The walleye and smallmouth bass are feeding aggressively along rocky shores and edges and the edges of deep grass. A jig and minnow combination is a good choice for walleyes as is diving crankbaits. The diving crankbaits are also a good choice for smallmouth bass. The smallmouth bass are feeding heavily on crawfish so crankbaits and soft craw jigs that resemble crawfish are good choices.
Fishing for smallmouth bass and walleyes in the upper Potomac River continues to be good as river flows are good and cool water temperatures have spurred on increased activity. Small jigs and swim shad type lures as well as small crankbaits worked close to the bottom have been a popular method of fishing.
Trout fishermen are finding good fishing prospects in nearly all of the trout waters in the region; cool water temperatures and good flows plus abundant trout are setting the stage for great trout fishing. Floating leaves can be a bit of a problem but all part of fishing in the fall. Mark Hutzell was fly fishing in a western region stream when he caught and released this tiger trout; a natural hybrid of a brook trout and a brown trout.
Central/Southern Region:
Perhaps some of the most exciting news we have to report this week is the exception smallmouth bass and walleye fishing in the lower Susquehanna River. Several reports and pictures have come in from fishermen enjoying catching rather large smallmouth bass and walleye in the river. Brad Meadows experienced some great fall action last weekend at the mouth of the Susquehanna River. I was able to pull of a Susky Grand Slam within a one hour period by catching smallmouth bass, walleye and striped bass by using Rapala plugs. Pictures of Brad's fish are in the upper bay report and this week's photo gallery. Paul Martin sent in a similar report about fishing with his brother. I had some great fishing on the Susky around Port Deposit this Saturday with my brother Steve Martin. We went up to the river look-n to catch some rockfish and we did get a few small ones but man we got into a school of smallmouth bass and it was crazy for about an hour or so. The dam was running a lot of water and it was roll-n drifting down the river throwing Rat-L- Trap baits. We caught and released almost a dozen smallmouth bass and all were big 20 inch plus fish in the 5 lb. class. Almost packed it in early the wind was blow-n and a going cold at the boat ramp at 6:00 it was 29 degrees; sure glad we stayed out.
Fishing for largemouth bass continues to be good this week in the two regions lakes, reservoirs and tidal rivers. Water temperatures are down into the low 50's so a changing largemouth bass pattern is beginning to appear. The bulk of the bass are moving to drop-offs and holding rather deep. Deep diving crankbaits, grubs and soft craw jigs are all good choices for working these deep edges; whether one is fishing lake edges or channel edges of tidal creeks and rivers. Stephanie Eilerman was fishing a Senko worm along a 15' edge of rocks and grass at Loch Raven Reservoir when she caught and released this fine looking largemouth bass.
Grass is rapidly declining in many of the regions tidal river such as the tidal Potomac. What little grass there is can often be holding a few largemouth bass and slow rolled spinnerbaits is a good way to entice them into striking. Fishermen are reporting that the pick up is very subtle and they have to come fast before setting the hook.
Fishing for trout in many of the put and take trout waters within the two regions remains good; there are still plenty of trout from last months generous stockings. The water temperatures are cool and stream and river flows are good so the good fishing should continue for quite some time.
Eastern Region:
Most freshwater fishermen are focusing on fishing for largemouth bass this week and for good reason. Cooler water temperatures and declining grass cover have caused the bass to move to deeper channel edges in the tidal rivers and creeks or deeper edges of lakes and ponds. Deep sunken wood such as fallen tree tops are excellent places to cast soft plastics such as grubs, worms and soft craw jigs. Diving crankbaits are also another good choice near channel edges, cypress knees and creek mouths. There are still some bass prowling the shallower waters during the day; especially on a warm sunny one so slow rolled spinnerbaits or jerkbaits can be a good option to try near declining grass beds.
Cooler water temperatures and declining grass beds means better fishing for chain pickerel. Chain pickerel are very active in cooler waters and with grass beds declining they are more accessible. Fishing for channel catfish remains good this week in most of the regions tidal rivers.

Recap | Final Stats
Postgame QuotesWisconsin vs. Northern MichiganOct. 7, 2011Kohl Center – Madison, WisWisconsin Coach Mike EavesOn how youth play into outcome:It played out as one might think it played out. There were some darn good things and there were things we need to work on. That's about what one would expect.On Landon Peterson's performance:I thought he was very solid. He gave us a chance to win the game. I think one of the tell tale signs of how a goalie (plays is) if he's got poise and confidence out there, if the puck was dumped in he was quick to go out and stop the puck, made good decisions, made good passes, he was square with the puck all night and did a nice job he gave a chance to win the game or get a tie.On battling back:That's the thing we talked about after the game. The thing we want them to leave the rink with tonight is the idea that we came we didn't quit. We persevered.On how deep is his patience: As deep as it needs to be. I think what you need to do is because we talked about this before is how far to do you correct and take away their confidence, and how much do you let go and talk about the good things they do. It will be as deep as we it needs to be.On evaluate power plays: I think the ice was a little bit of an issue and I think because we haven't had a lot of reps we fought ourselves a little bit. We weren't as effective as we want but that's to be expected. We were trying to do things on the go. It was a good test to see if our kids could adapt on the go. Ok we need to make this adaptation right now are we capable of doing it, and at times we were and at times we weren't .On looking forward: The line has been drawn now we have a mark of where we are and we have a vision of where we need to go. Let's build.
Junior captain John RamageOn what the team takes from this game:It showed that were capable of coming back and we have a never quit attitude, there are positives to take from this game and I think coming back from 2-0 in the third period is a positive.On where youth showed:We just all made mistakes. It's the first game of the season, not only the youth but just everyone knocking the rust off. There were times we just weren't very good in our own zone and we could have done things better.
Freshman forward Joseph LaBateOn the comeback:Our intensity picked up going into the overtime. You could tell out team really stepped up and obviously our fans were into it. It's too bad we couldn't get the W.
Freshman goaltender Landon PetersonOn his Badger debut:I came in prepared well, stayed focused and just kept telling myself to control the things that I can control.

Kara DioGuardi, Jewel Headline Bravo Music Competition Series, 'Rocky and Bullwinkle' Creator Dies and More
According to Entertainment Weekly, the ousted 'American Idol' judge is teaming up with Jewel for a new singer/songwriter competition series. The 10-episode series, 'Going Platinum,' will see DioGuardi as head judge and Jewel as a host/mentor of sorts.
'Going Platinum,' previously announced as 'Hitmakers,' is currently in production in Los Angeles with 12 contestants vying for a $100,000 cash prize, a publishing deal with Sony, BMI Songwriters The Writing Camp and a recording deal with RCA/Jive.
Contestants will have to write and perform songs from various genres. The judges -- including popular recording artist guest judges -- will determine the winner.
"Hit songs are the backbone of the music industry, and as a publisher, nothing excites me more than finding new songwriting talent," DioGuardi said in a statement. "I am happy to be a part of a show that helps up and coming songwriters pursue their dreams, while giving the public a look into the creative process."

Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) January 29, 2013
License verification is a common concern for human resources executives at healthcare facilities. Accrediting bodies, like The Joint Commission, require strict compliance with license verification standards (M.S. 4.10, HR.02.01.04, etc.) and the public has high expectations for healthcare professionals to be properly qualified and credentialed. HR departments can verify the license statuses of their employees one at a time via State Board websites, but this is time consuming, tedious and impractical on a daily basis.
One software firm, CE Broker Inc, has recently announced an automated solution for license verification that can shoulder much of this burden. CE Broker is the electronic continuing education tracking system for the Florida Department of Health and has launched EverCheck as its web-based license verification solution. Thirty percent of the hospitals in Florida use CE Broker's cloud service to proactively manage their workforce with daily license verifications through the "Primary Source," and the same technology is now available to hospitals nationwide through EverCheck.
EverCheck has automated the rote process of manual license verifications and complies with all respective accrediting body requirements. State licenses, national certifications – including DEA certifications – can all be handled by EverCheck.com. HR representatives will immediately b

Once Upon a Time
Robin Hood Is Regina's True Love on Once Upon a Time: Yay or Nay?
Regina (Lana Parrilla) fans have long been rallying for their fave queen to get a second chance at love on Once Upon a Time, and now Season 3 has opened the door to that possibility — in the form of everyone's favorite robber, Robin Hood. But how are the fans feeling about this twist?
In Season 3, Episode 3: "Quite a Common Fairy" we learned that once upon a time, after Regina's true love Daniel died and she married Snow's father, but before she'd gone full-on evil, Regina met Tinker Bell, and Tink tried to convince her to find a second love.
This backstory was useful because it confirmed that it is possible to find a new love in Fairytale Land, even after losing your true love. But that's not all! Using pixie dust, Tink managed to track down the man who could make Regina happy. Regina chickened out and never introduced herself, but we did learn that her second would-be love has a lion tattoo… the same tattoo that Robin Hood has!
Clearly, the show is setting up a potential Regina/Robin Hood romance, though we won't see it actually play out until they're at least in the same world. Is this a good pairing?
We think it definitely has some possibility. Robin Hood is a good guy who could help Regina reach redemption, but his version of heroism involves being an outlaw, so he knows what it feels like to be an outsider. They've both lost other loves. They both have sons they adore. Yeah, we can see why they might end up hitting it off.
On the other hand, we know that plenty of you prefer Regina with someone else, whether that's Daniel, Hook, Emma, or another character we've already met. So sound off with your feelings about this twist in the comments below!
Catch the next episode of Once Upon a Time on Sunday, October 13 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

I don't want you to think that I started working on ASP.Net MVC, but this article about a 36 year trek through backward compatibility hell was really funny and needed to be linked. What is so funny, I guess, is that it is factual and the humour is in the situation more than in the article itself.
On a separate note, ASP.Net 4.0 fixed this issue with a web.config setting.

Hi~ Art has always been one of my first loves! I attended Paire Art School-then four years in the Navy. Returning home I graduated from the Univ. of New Haven, CT with a degree in the Arts. But I followed another path and that led to 20+ years in retail management. Yet I always found myself drawn to beautiful art and wanted to follow my dream. In 1997, I bought a coffee shop/ 2 art galleries in Lambertville, New Jersey and began painting in earnest. After selling these gallery sites in 2002, I have been able to enjoy the life and times of an artist full time. Now I paint pastels, acrylics, oils, watercolors, and create monoprints rotating medias daily and truly love this view of...

In Roman mythology, Cloacina (Latin, cloaca: "sewer" or "drain") was the goddess who presided over the Cloaca Maxima ("Great Drain"), the main trunk of the system of sewers in Rome. She was originally derived from Etruscan mythology. The Cloaca Maxima were said to be begun by one of Rome's Etruscan kings, Tarquinius Priscus, and finished by another, Tarquinius Superbus.
Titus Tatius, who reigned with Romulus, erected a statue to Cloacina as the spirit of the "Great Drain". As well as controlling sewers, she was also a protector of sexual intercourse in marriage. Despite her Etruscan origins, she later became identified with Venus.
Cloacina was worshipped as an aspect of Venus at the small Shrine of Venus Cloacina, situated before the Basilica Aemilia on the Roman Forum and directly above the Cloaca Maxima. Some Roman coins had images of Cloacina or her shrine on them. Cloacina was also worshipped with rhymed prayer.[citation needed]
Popular culture[edit]
Cloacina appears in the comic B.P.R.D.: The Soul of Venice where she is also claimed to be the protector of sexual intercourse in marriage.[1]
In Terry Pratchett's novel Dodger, set in Victorian London, Cloacina is identified with "The Lady," a fictional protectress of the toshers who make their living scavenging in the sewers.

After giving an unabashedly liberal inaugural address, it might seem as if approving a pipeline that environmental groups say will contribute greatly to global warming and possibly taint a major Midwestern aquifer would probably not be among President Barack Obama's priorities for his second term.
But the president should do so and soon, before the Republicans and the energy industry on one side and the environmentalists on the other can make it a major political issue. And it would remove a major irritant in U.S.-Canada relations since the Canadians very much want to see it built.
One by one, the Obama administration's objections to the $7 billion project, which would carry 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day from Canada's tar sands to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast, have been met.
Nebraska, the state that potentially could be most adversely affected by a spill from the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, has signed off on the project, as have the other five states the line will cross.
Nebraska GOP Gov. John Heineman, initially an opponent, said that a rerouting of the pipeline around environmentally sensitive lands had satisfied his concerns, the same concerns President Obama cited when he blocked the pipeline last January.
Gov. Heineman might also have been swayed by the $418 million in economic benefits the line would bring to his state. And by a guarantee that the pipeline will have at least $200 million in insurance to cover any cleanup costs.
"It is clear to me that this has a positive economic impact in terms of jobs for Nebraska and America," he told reporters earlier this week.
Gov. Heinema has sent a letter to President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, notifying them of the accepted Nebraska route.
As The Star has stated in the past, we support development of alternative energy and fuels but they are no immediate answer to American energy needs. For the foreseeable future, we're stuck with oil, gas and, for power generation, coal and natural gas.
Thus the U.S. should allow the Keystone XL pipeline to be built, provided there is thorough and well-funded regulatory oversight of the pipeline's structural integrity and safe operation. There's no reason that, properly watched and inspected, Keystone XL can't be operated cleanly and safely.
House Speaker John Boehner said Nebraska's approval of the route "means there is no bureaucratic excuse, hurdle or catch President Obama can use to delay this project any further."
Actually, there is one: the State Department is reviewing the project, which was first proposed in 2008. The study is expected to approve the project in March, which would leave the administration truly out of excuses.
President Obama professes to be serious about climate change, but the various forms of "clean" energy have yet to be proved economically and technologically feasible on anything like the scale needed to fill America's energy needs.
Thanks to major finds of natural gas and oil, the United States is virtually energy independent and is actually exporting modest amounts of oil. Given the instability of many of the global energy-producing areas, that independence should not be surrendered lightly.

This scene, and the play Macbeth as a whole, are a challenge for the actors playing Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
Dominic Cooke, director of the RSC's 2004 production of Macbeth, explains how acting moment to moment in this scene prevents the actors becoming overwhelmed with the complexity of emotions.
The witches say: 'security is mortals' chiefest enemy'. Actor Greg Hicks explains this, to help us understand why Macbeth is in turmoil.
How does Macbeth feel about Banquo? Does he have to be killed in order for Macbeth to become king? And how does Macbeth feel about the witches prophesy that Banquo will be more powerful than Macbeth? Actor Greg Hicks explains his ideas.
In this scene, Macbeth won't tell Lady Macbeth what he's plotting for Banquo and Fleance.
Actor Sian Thomas plays Lady Macbeth. 'It's not protecting her,' she says, 'It's just isolating her.'
'They are Mr and Mrs,' says Sian Thomas, 'But they go a step too far.' Is the Macbeths' situation far removed from our everyday reality or could anyone become a murderer?
The production's designer, Tania Spooner, describes moments that influenced her designs for Lady Macbeth's costumes.

As some other reviewers are saying, the smell is awful with the added q10 lotion. Very disappointed as love the 'usual' palmers cocoa butter smell but this is has a horrible added scent that stays all day. I passed it onto my mum incase it was just my nose but she also found it the same and even had a shower half way through one day to get rid of it as no perfume or other scented lotion could mask the smell. I will just stick to the original as its firming and smoothing results are probably just as good :)

I love this lotion.. it's very moisturizing and I find it helps even out skin tone and texture. A little warning though - I found 2 different versions of this product: one with Q10 and one without. The one with Q10 has a really strong bad smell and when you rub it onto your skin, white stuff flake off (this is the version I've found at Walmart). The one without Q10 has a light smell and very moisturizing (I've found this version at Zellers or Shoppers Drug Mart). So before you buy it, make sure to check it doesn't have Q10 in it. I recently bought a big bottle of Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion because it was on sale.. I really like it too.. but after it's finished, I'll most likely go back to using Palmers because I really like how it evens out my skin tone and texture, plus it's much cheaper even when not on sale.

I have been using this for about 3 weeks all over my body. I usually use regular Palmers Cocoa Butter Lotion but switched to see if this stuff would be even better. It was not. I didn't like the smell - not the "normal" palmers cocoa butter chocolate smell and it made me break out everywhere. My chest, shoulders, thighs and butt!! I haven't changed anything else in my beauty routine so I know it's this. I'm going back to my favorite - basic Palmers Cocoa Butter Lotion. Why mess with a good thing.

Besides the smell this is a fantastic product. The smell is very sharp, I get the cocoa but it is very sweet and it smells like glue, I can barely stand it. I'm half way through the bottle and I see the skin in my hip area, stomach, bust, and thighs smoothing and firming out. I have lost quite a bit of weight (from size 12 to size 6) and this has been keeping my skin nice and firm and not saggy. This has been smoothing out my stretch marks that I have as a result of weight gain and they are less noticeable but I doubt this is going to make them go away (I might try bio-oil for that?). I would like to use this on my whole body but the smell is awful, I think I will try the Nivea firming for my whole body. I massage this in circular motions in my problem areas which I find is the most effective way in using this product. This is not a miracle product but it is relatively effective imo, since I always hear people say these products don't work. I think the key is dedication more then anything, I have been using this generously, 2x a day. This is worth a try for $4-5 for 250 ml, pump bottle. Overall pretty satisfied for my first try in the world of firming/anti-cellulite/stretch mark creams. Will update after I finish up the rest of the bottle.

I have been using this product for 3 years or so and it really works. I use it on my thighs and butt where I have cellulite and although it has not gotten rid of it (I believe that you cannot truly get rid of cellulite until you have a proper exercise regimen that firms your fat ridden areas of you body), it has reduced the appearance of my cellulite dramatically. It has also minimized, even diminished the appearance of scars. It has firmed my bust and stomach area, as well as, diminished the appearance of stretch marks that I had when my weight flunctuates.

YUCK! Heavily scented - a sickingly sweet, very strong chocolate / almond / mint / chemical flavour - very artificial. Found it extremely greasy, and like another reviewer mentioned - when you rub this into your skin - little white bits flake off!
Good thing about this is yes - -it is a heavy duty moisturizer.
But, in that case, I'd rather smear Crisco all over my body, at least it would smell better.
Thumbs down.

I had no intention of buying any such product, because I was skeptical as to the claims. I tried a sample of the Dr. Murad foolishness, and then saw this (the Skin Firming Butter) at WalMart and decided it couldn't be any worse, since it was a fraction of the price for way more product. All's I'm saying is this: I had a baby 6 months ago via C-section. I don't know if the firming that I see is because of this cream, or just a function of the skin shrinking on its own. My stretch marks have faded considerably, and the same comment goes for them. But when I went to the midwife yesterday, she exclaimed, "Where's your scar?!?! I've never seen a scar heal as well as this one!" Say what you want, but for $3.50, I think it's a chance worth taking. If it doesn't work, heck, you've got a nice bottle of pretty good smelling lotion for cheap.

I just have to say--I really think this product works! I go back to it again and again I use the the frangrance free formula which you can find at drugstore.com so I don't smell like a walking Hershey Kiss. I am almost 55, slender, but with skin that sags everywhere even though I run plenty of miles every week and do Yoga daily. What can you expect from a butt that's been hanging out for over 50 years? No this doesn't make me look like I did when I was 19, but the skin on my upper thighs, belly and back of my legs looks firmer than usual does when using this lotion

This stuff has increased my body confidence. Considering Iv tried numerous body lotions including BioOil (which was useless, expensive and did not work), this is the only thing thats helping to fade my stretchmarks. I have only been using it for three weeks and already Iv noticed a BIG difference. My skin just looks better, more toned and even my boyfriend complemented on how soft my skin was.
I cant praise this stuff enough and highly recommend it.

I am writing this in regards to the BUST FIRMING massage cream. This was SOOOO drying on my skin. I bought it on my way to work thinking I could use in on my hands as well as other parts of my body to firm and tone my skin. UGH....VERY VERY drying. I LOOOOOOOOOVE ALL the other Palmers products so I was really surprised about this. Leaving my hands as dry as it did, I would NEVER dream of putting in on my breasts!! I threw it away.

COTABATO, Philippines - An explosion, believed to be a bomb, at a university campus in the Philippines, has left 24 people injured - many critically - including students and teachers, police said Monday.
It appeared a fire was set off deliberately in a school building housing security personnel at the state-run Cotabato Foundation College of Science and Technology, before the blast occurred Sunday night, police added.
"The fire drew responders, including firemen, teachers, and students, and they were among the injured,'' explained Senior Inspector Rolly Oranza of the local police force in the troubled Mindanao region.
He said 17 of the wounded remain in a critical condition at the hospital.
Police told AFP they believe the explosion was caused by an improvised explosive device, but ordnance experts were still determining the details.
No group had claimed responsibility for the attack, and police were still trying to determine the motive, Inspector Oranza said.
The school is situated in Arakan, a quiet farming community on the southern island of Mindanao, populated mostly by indigenous tribes.
Mindanao is gripped by a long-running Muslim insurgency that has left more than 150,000 dead.
While Muslim rebels are not known to operate in Arakan, there has been violence between armed paramilitary groups fighting for control of the area.
Communist rebels are also known to have some presence in Arakan, but police said it was unclear if they were involved.
In October 2011, an Italian Catholic priest who had been helping tribal groups was shot dead as he was leaving his parish in Arakan.
In September, Insp Oranza said, police defused an improvised bomb planted near the school's flagpole.

DETAILED RESULTS OF 2015 BATCH (official declaration)
IIT-HOME has been founded on the thought of Nobel Laureate Sir Rabindranath Tagore's words – True Education is not pumped and crammed in from outward sources but aids in bringing to the surface the infinite hoard of wisdom within. In its bid to realize its founding principle, IIT-HOME gave birth to Mission True Education to progressively revolutionise the education paradigm in the country. As per the Mission, IIT-HOME aims to inculcate its founding values in its students and spread them to ever higher fraction of the adolescent population.
JEE or the Joint Entrance Examinations for admissions to premiere Engineering Institutes in India have been the instruments for genesis of IIT-HOME in 1997. Training students for preparation of the same is righteously the mainstream activity and the basis of subsistence of the Institute. IIT-HOME however considers the competitive JEE training as a substrate to administer valued ideologies into its students and cultivate the right and required characteristics in them for a noble and successful life ahead.
4SIES, pronounced as 'Foresee' is the newest creation of True Education Institute targeted at school children from Std. VII to Std. IX. True to its name it is an examination innovatively & indigenously developed by the Institute to broaden the perspective of school students about school syllabus and studies. It is designed to help students think about their career, investigate their likings and mitigate exam fears while delving deep into their very own school syllabus. The 4SIES program is complemented by a Yearlong Guidance Program which is a year round extension of the same.

How to Host a Community Garden
Frequently Asked Questions About Hosting a Community Garden:
Want a garden space? Have land to offer?

How large should the garden be?
Converting your plot to a garden
Tools & Equipment
Want a garden space? Have land to offer?
We get a lot of calls from people who are not refugees but would like to participate in community gardens. Unfortunately, there isn't anyone coordinating gardens on a large scale in Boise, but there are quite a few smaller, neighborhood ones scattered around town, and plenty of possibility to create your own. You might also have a look at the City of Boise's Community Garden Policy.
All five of our refugee community gardens are on borrowed land. We also get a lot of calls from people, schools, churches, and organizations interested in starting their own community gardens or donating additional land for use as refugee gardens or farms.
We do always have a waiting list of gardeners, and many non-refugees in Boise are interested in community gardening as well. Chances are your land could be put to work growing vegetables instead of growing grass or weeds. If you're thinking about a project like this, the following information is for you to consider, based on what we've learned in our work thus far.
Back to top
In Idaho, vegetables generally require 2 inches of water per week. Generally the kinds of soils we have are pretty good at holding water, so it's best to water for a longer time, just once or twice a week, allowing the water to soak deep and roots to grow deep too. Many people overwater their gardens!
The first thing you should consider is where your irrigation water will be coming from. Some of our sites use water from irrigation channels and others use well water. If your site only has access to city water, the irrigation costs will probably too high to be feasible.
Irrigation water is ideal, as it's usually almost free, or included in a tax that the landowner pays whether or not he or she actually uses the water. If they garden can be flood irrigated, you can save the costs of sprinkler equipment or drip tape, plus, plants love flood irrigation. Using well water, we pay about $50 per month to water a one acre garden.
Some of our gardens have sprinkler systems. It's best to have the sprinkler on a timer. Typically it's best to do a deep watering, for several hours, just once or twice a week. You can test the coverage and amount of water provided by your sprinkler system by putting out cups at various locations in the garden before watering. In some cases we have reconfigured sprinkler systems that were originally set up to water grass, by adding risers and changing the sprinkler heads.
Digging new sprinkler lines is difficult, but we've done that before too. At the Somali Bantu Community Farm, we put in about 800 feet of sprinkler line for a cost of about $750, not including labor! This included underground pipes, risers, and sprinkler heads. We purchased the supplies at Grover Electric and Plumbing Supply. The staff there was very helpful and patiently assisted our refugee clients in choosing appropriate products. We did the installation ourselves and it was a lot of work. We rented a trench digger from Tate's Rents but it was not easy to use. It's easy to use Google Earth to measure your plot and estimate how much sprinkler line you'd need.
While some crops prefer drip irrigation to overhead sprinkler irrigation, and it is certainly simpler to install, we have found that drip tape is generally more expensive and time consuming to maintain, but it is also a possibility if that's what suits your site best. Some of our smaller garden sites have had success with soaker hoses, which are a little easier to use than drip tape.
Back to top
The Garden Plot
After water availability, the second most important consideration is location. We have had the greatest success with gardens located very near the gardeners' homes, ideally within walking distance, or with access to public transportation. Whether your gardeners are likely to be new Americans, your neighbors, church members, etc, gardens are more likely to receive the most attention if they are easily accessible.
Currently, we are most interested in helping to sponsor a new garden on the State Street side of town. We have some clients living in the area of 29th and State who are interested in gardening, but we don't have a site in this area.
Back to top
How large should the garden be?
The largest of our community gardens is behind the Girl Scouts offices on Etheridge Lane. The gardens vary a little bit in size, the newer ones are smaller, but the largest are about 30X40 feet. We have 28 families gardening on just under one acre. This size garden plot is sufficient to feed a large family but too small for commercial growing. The smallest plots are 12 X 24 feet raised beds at the Hillview Church Garden. Even a small plot can provide a surprising amount of veggies for family consumption, and it's possible to add very high quality soil to a small raised bed in increase production.
Currently we're most interested larger plots, of one acre or more, that could be used for some commercial growing as well as family gardening.
Back to top
The soil in this area requires some soil amendments for growing vegetables. The easiest thing to do in your first year of growing is to have a truckload of finished compost delivered from Magic Valley Compost. They will deliver a tractor trailer sized load, maybe 25 tons according to the driver, for $850. This compost is made from cow manure and should be applied at one inch over the garden and tilled in 5 inches. You can also start making your own compost on site. Local farmers recommend 20 yards per acre of compost.
At our sites with smaller garden plots, gardeners often bring their own soil amendments, including bagged compost available at garden stores, and various kinds of compost teas. All of our gardens use organic practices, so we don't allow chemical fertilizers of any kind.
Green manures are also a wonderful, organic way to add nutrients to your soil. A green manure is a crop that you plant specifically for the purpose of enriching the soil. Some of them are leguminous plants that add nitrogen to the soil, others have deep roots that can break up hard soil or bring underground nutrients closer to the surface. You can order seeds for several varieties at Johnny's Selected Seeds, or at Peaceful Valley Farm and Garden Supply. Green manure management is a little bit complicated, and we can provide more information if you've never tried it before.
If you would like to have your soil tested, you can send it to Western Laboratories and have a soil test done for around $40. Their website also includes a LOT of good information on soils.
Back to top
Converting your plot to a garden
You can get rid of pesky, water-guzzling grass in two ways.
1. Rent a sod cutter and roll it up and remove it. You lose some topsoil this way. You'll need a crew to do the work and somewhere to put the grass.
2. Mulch. Kill your grass by covering it with layers of cardboard, newspaper, leaves and lawn clippings, etc. You should start this process in the fall. This method is probably less labor intensive, and can enrich your soil instead of removing some of it, but takes some months of planning.
Back to top
Tools and Equipment
Your garden should start with a minimum of a few hoes, shovels, rakes, and a wheelbarrow, and other common tools for the gardeners to use. The project now owns a small tiller, a chipper/shredder, and a pickup truck that are shared among various garden sites.
We usually rent some equipment, such as larger tillers for initial ground tilling, sod cutters, trench diggers, anything big that we only use once in a while. We usually use Tate's Rents. They have given us some free rentals and there is a form on their website that you can fill out to request a free rental. We have also used Equip Rent, who rented us some items at a discount. When the garden at the synagogue was created, they rented a small tractor, which is a good idea for a large space.
Some of the gardens have rented portapotties, which cost around $90 per month from A1 Company. This is up to you and might not be necessary.
A small shed to keep the tools in is a good idea for keeping things neat and preventing theft. Sheds vary a lot in price. You could check Home Depot for some examples.
Some of the gardens also have a shaded area with a picnic table for resting and socializing.
We usually ask the gardeners to provide all seeds, plants, and any additional soil amendments that they want. In reality, we get a lot of these things donated. Some gardeners also bring their own tools during busy times if there aren't enough to go around.
Back to top
Hosting a community garden is a lot of work! There should be at least one dedicated volunteer to coordinate the garden, allocate spaces, manage tools, donations, and the irrigation system. This person could receive an educational stipend through Americorps. Your organization should have a team of other volunteers on hand to help with creating and maintaining the garden.
Back to top
Here is a sample budget to help with your planning. Water costs are not included as it depends completely on which water source you use.
6 shovels
6 hoes
6 other tools
1 wheelbarrow
Irrigation Equipment
800 ft. sprinklers
Compost Delivery
1 truckload
Tiller/equipment rental
$500 (varies)
