Wow, can't believe I have not reviewed this yet. I've been using the Pro-X brush for about two and a half years. At the time I bought it I was dealing with a seeming endless cycle of breakouts. Generally though I have dry sensitive skin and tend to get flakies around my nose. It keeps my skin smooth and mildly exfoliated without rubbing it raw. The price is a steal compared to Clairsonic. I like that the brush rotates rather than just *ahem* well lets just say moves side to side really fast. I have tried this with a few different cleansers, mainly milder ones that dont lather up much and it still removed all my makeup. It's really a charm with foaming cleansers. It has two speed setting, I use the higher speed for myself. Love this product, and love what it has done for my skin.

I am dark skinned...in my early 30s with sensitive acne prone skin. I wanted to try this as an alternate for the clarisonic brush. (That brush is too expensive lol) after about 5 days of using it morning and night... My face became very raw and sensitive. Forehead area broke out really bad. I went down to just once a day.. at night to remove makeup. My cheeks feel great and larger zits getting smaller but I can't use on my forehead for some reason... It breaks out like crazy. Removes makeup very well I can say. I'll keep using and post an update in a few weeks.

After seeing the reviews, I purchased the Olay Pro X system as an alternative to the expensive Clarisonic system I had been pining for. I am VERY satisfied with the results so far. I didn't expect to see a difference in my skin so soon, but when I woke up this morning after using it last night, my skin was incredibly soft and smooth. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, so it's hard for me to find something that exfoliates enough to help with the acne without producing irritation. This seems to fit the bill, but I'll have to see how it goes and let you know. Maybe the system has been updated since some of the reviews were written, but it now comes with 2 cleansers, a brush attachment, and a pad attachment. The exfoliating renewal cleanser that you use with the brush seemed pretty gentle to me, and my skin normally reacts to EVERYTHING. The thermal crystal cleanser is used with the microdermabrasion, but I don't think I'll be trying that because I had a "learning experience" with microdermabrasion years ago.

Overall, this brush is a good buy. It cleans and exfoliates your skin to give you that glow. And it's cheap too. Do I prefer this over my Clarisonic? That will be a No. If you can't afford the Clarisonic (or just refuse to shell out more than $100 for a brush), Olay's brush will still work for you. But Clarisonic is better for your skin in the long run, cuz I believe the rotating motion of Olay's brush is not as gentle as the sonic motion of Clarisonic brush and all that tugging can cause premature aging on your skin. Although it's just a minor detail, I find the batteries inconvenient and makes the speed unreliable ( when batteries are half way new, the faster rotating speed is not the same when the batteries were new).

This really gets my face cleaner than bare hands. I didn't want to dish out the money for a Clairisonic, and I'm glad I didn't. This has helped my acne, faded old scarring, and is just a really nice brush.

Overall, I've been very impressed with this "system" (I guess it's more of a wand?) I've been using it for nearly a month, so I feel confident in being able to judge how it works for me.
A little skin background. I don't get a ton of acne, just a stray pimple now and then during that time of the month, or if I've been eating REALLY badly. Occasional moderate cystic pimple (not huge and inflamed, but I can definitely feel them), enlarged pores across the tops of my cheeks, blackheads on the sides of nose, non-sensitive skin.
I've used this with a few different cleansers since getting it. It all depends if I need more of a cleanser or exfoliator, as it works well with both. If the cleanser is thinner, I apply it right to the brush head, then make contact with my skin before I turn the wand on. If it's a thicker cleanser, I like to apply it across my face first to spread it out a little, then use the wand to work it in. I find applying very thick cleansers right on the brush can cause them to get more down inside the brush than on your skin.
I've been pleased with the results I've gotten. As far as my skin concerns, it makes things feel a lot smoother, whether you're using just a plain cleanser or an exfoliating one. I love using this in the morning before I do my makeup, as foundation goes on so much better after exfoliating. The blackheads around my nose have also been greatly reduced, which I am happy about. Though I haven't really noticed my enlarged pores getting any smaller in my naked skin, I do find that, likely due to the exfoliating, that they blur and cover much better with just foundation, whereas before, I would have to use concealer as well.
The fastest results I've seen since getting the system has to do with a single, rather sizeable, cystic pimple that was starting to make it's way to the surface on the side of my nose a couple days before I got the ProX in the mail. It wasn't extremely visible yet, but I could definitely feel the large, painful lump growing under my skin. The day I got the wand, I used it on the area for about 30 seconds, and again later that night. The next morning, most of the pain was gone from the area. I used it twice again that day, at morning and night. The next morning, the size had been drastically reduced, and, by the following day, after using it an additional two times, the cystic pimple was completely gone and there were no traces of it left. Usually, those tend to hang around for at least a week before they begin to dissipate, so having it completely gone within 3 days was amazing to me.
Overall, this system works great for me, and I will continue to use it. As far as I can tell in comparison with the Clarisonic (my roommate has one), the only differences I see are the varied options the Clarisonic has for brushes, the fact that it charges rather than uses batteries, and that it has a timer. I think if I'm saving $200, I can live without the extras.
Also, a tip to those who find the brush too abrasive, make sure you're not PRESSING it into your skin. The ONLY pressure you should be applying (if you can call it pressure) is to maintain contact between your skin and the head. The brush does all the work for you. Additionally, if you find it too intense, make sure you're using a cream or gel cleanser without an extra exfoliant. The brush is likely exfoliating enough without the addition of an abrasive cleanser.

This does the same job as the clarisonic and it's so much less expensive. My only negative feeling is it would be awesome if it had some kind of either holder or hole to go on a hook.

I've been eyeing the clarisonic for a while now, but never felt like I *needed* it enough to spend the big bucks on it. I kept seeing it here on MUA and trolled through all the reviews for it, but still, did I *need* it? Well, no. But I saw it on sale for twenty dollars instead of the usual thirty on wallgreens.com, and long story short I ordered it on a whim. It was really a spur of the moment thing. I began using it morning and night each day, but now I only use it at night to cleanse all my makeup off. I use it with my favorite cleanser, the Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash, and it removes everything. The first time I used it I saw really how much makeup I hadn't been able to get before! It also came with a mini of the Pro X scrub, but it smells weird and has a strange consistincey,so I'll probably give it to my mom or something. Anyway. The results. I've always had acne prone skin that is VERY prone to scarring/hyper-pigmentation. I just wanted something that would help get all my makeup off at night, not a brush (like the clarisonic) that would empty my pores. I won't describe how it works since I'm sure you can find it below, but I will say that the brush head spins. The bristles are softer than I thought they'd be. After two months of using this, my skin has been breaking out only around 'that time of month', and the breakouts go away faster. My scars/dark marks are beginning to fade! My skin is still dry, but less than before. This is a great buy for the pice, a fraction of the cost of the clarisonic, and while the two do different things, I still wholeheartedly reccommend this.

I have acne prone and oily skin. I seem to have phases when I am cleared from acne and suddenly I start breaking out. Before using this product I had at least 4-5 pimples at a time. I bought this product on May 10. I had heard so many great things about the Clarisonic but it was just too expensive. I ended up hearing about this product and read so many possible reviews and it is def much cheaper. I noticed my skin began to clear up and right now I am 100% clear. My skin feels and look amazing. I use it twice a day in the morning and before bed. I use it with my Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser. Overall, I am SOO pleased with this product. I'm so glad I found it and It makes cleansing my face fun!

I have only used this cleansing system for a couple of days and I already see dramatic results.
I had three quite large pimples on my forehead which decreased with in first use of this and now they have completely gone in 2 days.
I used to have quite a lot of blackheads on my nose which have now gone and my pores have became much tighter.
Definitely worth it!skin is glowing and looks healthy where as it used to look quite dull

Review: Menuet
Menuet is a small but featureful iTunes controller (April 27th, 2006)
MacNN Rating:
Product Manufacturer: Specere
Price: $12.95 (single)-$29.95 (4 user) - Discounted
The Good
- good price and discount, growl and last.fm support.
The Bad
- Growl support could use improvement.
There are hundreds of iTunes remotes, controllers, and such. Some free, some shareware. After a long time user of Synergy, I felt it was a slight con to have to pay an extra $10 simply for Growl Support. So I searched around, and found Menuet. It offers themes, growl support, key combinations and a really nice and small menu bar icon (good!).
Installation consists of simply double clicking the application, and it installs the required preference panel in System Preferences.
Upon launch I was confronted with a polite dialogue offering me a 30% ($4) discount because I use Synergy. Who could complain with that?
From the preference window you can map a key shortcut to just about every iTunes command possible, from play/pause to setting ratings.
The themes that come with Menuet are, well, awesome. They are exceptionally crisp and bright.
A few of my favorites are:
Aqua - A very basic controller, simply displaying the Play/Pause and forwards/backwards buttons.
Jewel Case Mini - A simple and clear drop down box that displays the art work and basic controls.
Monkey Bars - An animated monkey and box, very fun.
The actual menu bar icon is a miniature icon of the artwork. Small enough to look at, but not stupidly large and in the way. Although it'd be nice to be able to change this to a play/pause button or a simple black and white icon. At first I felt this was all very nice, but having to click and 'wait' for the box to appear was probably no faster than simply using iTunes. What I needed was instant click controls. This is when I found out (purely by accident) about the 'hidden' icon controls:
Click the icon and the controller slides down Command Click the icon and it'll skip to the next song Shift Click the icon and it'll pause the current song Alt Click the icon and it'll bounce back one song.
Growl support is included, although it appears to update at near-random intervals. This is very annoying. Ideally you should be able to select what information to show and when.
If Menuet had complete Growl support it would be as good as perfect!
Since Growl support changes would be just a bug fix, and the price is amazingly competitive (even more so if you hunt down the developer on the MacNN Forums and look at his signature) Menuet is an application worth having.

Hugh Jefferies, editor of Gibbons Stamp Monthly, called the first-class postal flub "embarrassing," adding that "whoever designed this will have egg on their face and someone's head will roll."
The stamps are worth a total of 5.80 NZ dollars, but Ms. Middleton's half is priced slightly lower at 2.40 NZ dollars than Prince William's side, which costs 3.40 NZ dollars. The value will most likely increase, though, now that the commemorative memento has turned into an instant collectors' item.
This isn't the first mail mishap. The Australian Royal stamp celebrating Prince Charles and Diana had been criticized because it presented the couple facing away from each other.
And although the Queen, who is New Zealand's head of state, has to approve all stamp designs, this Prince William and Kate's version may have received the Buckingham Palace OK before the center break was added, Jefferies speculated.

Funny and Annoying At The Same Time
I hooked up with a chick like this in college. She was hot and it took me a while to hook up with her. I can still remember right after we got down…. she was just as annoying as this chick is. She started tickling me, rubbing my hair, saying, 'Wasn't that awesome??' I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I wanted so badly to just stand up and say I am out of here. Problem was to this day she still has the best set of tits and ass I have ever seen… So I put up with it for a few more sessions and weeks and then couldn't deal with it.

If it's true that the words 'phenomenal', 'amazing', and 'incredible' have been used so frequently that they've almost lost their meaning, then the same might be said if we only counted the number of times that they were used to describe Jordan Rudess! Such superlatives would be apt if they only described his formidable keyboard technique, as anyone who has heard his recordings or seen him perform live would attest. However, Jordan's mastery extends to his compositional and arranging abilities as well as his skills as a producer and synthesist. Whether as a recording artist or performer, in his solo albums or collaborations with some of the greatest musicians in the world, the career of Jordan Rudess has been marked by a level of excellence that few can match.
A genuine musical prodigy, Jordan entered the prestigious Julliard School of Music at the age of nine for classical piano training. By nineteen, he began to include the rapidly developing world of synthesizers in his recordings and performances. Jordan's involvement with musical technology would parallel his growth as a musician, his passion for synthesizers providing fertile ground for his musical imagination. It was destined that his exceptional instrumental abilities would become one with a unique personal sound to forge a signature style that would place him at the pinnacle of progressive music.
From early days as a sideman with jazz-rock legends Jan Hammer and Tony Williams, Jordan would go on to record and perform for many years with the Grammy Award winning Paul Winter Consort. However, in 1994 the release of his first solo album "Listen" would propel his career like never before. The album earned him the "Best New Talent" Award in Keyboard Magazine's Annual Reader's Poll, and it also attracted the attention of some of the biggest heavyweight acts in progressive rock. This resulted in Jordan joining forces with Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs for their 1994 tour. During this time he and Dreg's drummer Rod Morgenstein would also collaborate as a 'power duo' in the Rudess/Morgenstein Project (RPM), and produce a studio album and tour in 1997.
From there Jordan's ascendancy to progressive rock keyboard stardom would continue when in 1998 he connected with John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, and bassist Tony Levin in "Liquid Tension Experiment". This supergroup produced 2 albums for the Magna Carta label, but the collaboration would also convince Portnoy and Petrucci that Jordan simply had to join Dream Theater. In 1999 Jordan accepted their invitation, and would go on to record "Metropolis pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory" with the band which was met with tremendous critical acclaim.
Since then Jordan has recorded 3 additional studio albums with the band, 2002's "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence", 2003's "Train of Thought", and 2005's "Octavarium", contributing as a writer as well as a performer. He has also appeared on several live albums with the band including the concert DVD "Score", a live 2006 performance at New York's Radio City Music Hall that featured Dream Theater performing with a full symphony orchestra under the direction of Jamshied Sharifi. The DVD release of this performance reached platinum in the US soon after its release.
One might assume that his full time status in Dream Theater would leave time for little else, but Jordan also released two solo albums during this time. 2001 saw the release of his second solo rock album "Feeding the Wheel" on Magna Carta Records. This album featured an impressive list of guest players including guitarists Steve Morse, John Petrucci, Billy Sheehan on bass, drummer Terry Bozzio, vocalist Barry Carl, violinist Mark Wood, and cellist Eugene Friesen.
In August of 2004 Jordan released his third solo album "Rhythm of Time", also on Magna Carta. This record featured another mind-boggling collection of guests including drummer Rod Morgenstein, guitarists Joe Satriani, Steve Morse, Vinnie Moore, Greg Howe, and Daniel J; bassist Dave LaRue, and vocalist Kip Winger. Somehow in all of this Jordan finds time to appear as a guest himself on other recordings; of particular note is David Bowie's 2002 "Heathen" album.
As prolific as this output may seem, this has really been just a selection of highlights from Jordan's career. If you take into account the rest of his projects, his instructional books and DVDs, his online conservatory, an e-magazine called Accent, and the fact that he manages to balance all this with raising a family, you start to get some idea just how busy the man is! This is why we feel especially fortunate to have been able to catch up with him recently for a chat about his most recent projects, an inside scoop on his use of Ivory in the studio, and a few other topics of interest.

This means that the QMS system is being utilized; issues are being identified and changes are being made throughout the operation. Verisys' mission is "helpful auditing' and they lived up to this by offering many suggestions for improvement.
On April 7, 2010 Mr. Bennett returned for a one-day surveillance audit to verify the improvements we had made, and left making the written observation,
"Excellent improvements have been made addressing minor non-conformances and leadership has done a nice job providing resources resulting in improving overall QMS"
We have already begun the next phase of implementation by working with the floor to document work instructions; collecting mission critical data at each of the processes; develop, track and improve specific training programs and use the tools of 5S to make the plant operations more efficient.
Robert Gamba, President and COO recently stated, "The more I read our quality statement the more it rings true. Consistency is the key." This is what we strive for.

Nays (1): Farley
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the Montgomery, Otsego, Schoharie county solid waste management authority
PURPOSE: To authorize Otsego County, at its option, to terminate its participation in the Montgomery, Otsego, Schoharie Solid Waste Authority (MOSA).
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Adds a new section 2041-w to the public authorities law to establish a process by which Otsego County may terminate its membership in MOSA. Provides for the equitable distribution of the authority's assets and liabilities among component counties.
Section 2 provides for an immediate effective date.
EXISTING LAW: Currently, Otsego County is a component county of the solid waste authority.
JUSTIFICATION: Otsego County voluntarily joined two other counties in 1988 to create a tri-county waste authority to handle its solid waste and recycling needs. Now, two decades later, the county wishes to exercise its rights under home rule to withdraw from the compact.
The county, through its duly elected representatives, has requested that it be permitted to end its participation in the solid waste authority. The county has conducted extensive study and research into its options and obligations, and believes that its constituents are better served if the county handles its own solid waste program. The authority's bonds have been retired and all landfill post-closure responsibilities are defined in a 2009 agreement among the authority's component counties. County officials cite a September 20, 2010 report by the state authorities budget office (ABO), which identified significant operational and systemic deficiencies in the MOS Authority and recommended a complete overhaul and review of the authority's operations, procedures and policies, and an examination of the authority's continued viability.
The bill requires the equitable apportionment of the authority's assets and liabilities and defines Otsego's share of assets and liabilities as its percentage of the total population served by the three county authority.
New bill.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to the state.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediate.

Sudan: woman at risk of death sentence for converting to Christianity
Catholic World News - May 15, 2014
A Sudanese court has found a 27-year-old woman guilty of apostasy and has been given until May 15 to renounce her Christian faith.
Ahmed Bilal Osman, Sudan's minister of culture and information, told Agence France-Presse that "it's not only Sudan. In Saudi Arabia, in all the Muslim countries, it is not allowed at all for a Muslim to change his religion."
Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, the daughter of a Muslim father and Christian mother, maintains that she was raised a Christian.
According to Amnesty International, her case came to the attention of authorities when her relatives denounced her for marrying a Christian from South Sudan. Because Sudanese law views marriages between Muslims and non-Muslim as adulterous, Ibrahim was also found guilty of adultery and faces a penalty of 100 lashes.

A Healthier and More Fulfilling Life With the Help of Asian Medicine. ~ Yasmin Spencer
Perhaps Western doctors and pharmacies don't have all the answers.
"The oneness of all life is a truth that can be fully realized only when false notions of a separate self, whose destiny can be considered apart from the whole, are forever annihilated," writes LiJunfeng, Sheng Zhen Wuji Yuan Gong in "A Return to Oneness." Please support your family and friends by informing them about the benefits of acupuncture and herbal medicine.
We are all connected with people who have ongoing health issues that inhibit them from living a full life. Today I will offer a perspective as to why the health of our body, mind, heart, and emotions is a key aspect of living a whole and fulfilled life. I will then talk about why Asian medicine is an alternative and a support to Western medicine.
The health of an individual's body, mind, heart, and emotions is an essential aspect of living a whole and fulfilled life. Anyone who has ever experienced a chronic illness (mental or emotional), or been in chronic pain can tell you how difficult it can be to enjoy their life, their relationships, and their family. An individual is unable to fulfill their aspirations in life if they are hampered by illness.
This can intensify the ailment for the individual, because as said by Hicks, Hicks, and Mole in the text "Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture" in 2004, "…the Chinese consider it detrimental to people's health not to achieve their potential as human beings." The happiness of the individual is an aspect of the peace and unification of our families and communities.
Asian medicine is complimentary to Western medicine and at times offers an alternative, or a support to Western medical treatment and/or medicine. Western Medicine is very good for acute and emergency situations. Asian medicine is not appropriate for emergency situations.
However, it can treat some acute issues (such as colds/ flu, sprains, back pain, etc) without the negative side effects that medications, such as antibiotics or pain medications, can cause. A comment from the NIH Consensus Conference in 1998: "…promising results have emerged, for example, showing efficacy of acupuncture in adult postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting and in postoperative dental pain."
Asian medicine is very good for treating chronic conditions (in addition to many acute conditions). The extent of treatment that Western medicine can provide for many chronic conditions (such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and rheumatoid arthritis) is to prescribe pharmaceuticals. These medications very rarely resolve the source of a person's illness and often have negative side effect.
There are certain chronic illnesses in which long-term pharmaceutical use is essential, such as thyroid replacement hormones, certain mental illnesses, and more. Often the individual is given an additional medication to treat the side effects of the original pharmaceutical (some patients are on a "shopping list" of 10 or more medications). I call this a biochemical nightmare! Asian medicine can successfully treat the side effects of many medications, without creating additional complications.
Asian medicine is non-invasive and is oriented toward harmonizing or balancing the patient. Acupuncture and herbal treatments are holistic, which means that there are rarely negative side effects. If a negative response does arise, it can be treated. The individual's body and source energy is supported and strengthened through acupuncture and herbal medicine treatments. Lu H states in "A complete translation of the Yellow Emperor's classic of internal medicine (Su Wen)" 1972-chapter 78 that "The way of medicine is so wide that its scope is as immeasurable as the heaven and the earth, and its depth is as immeasurable as the four seas."
Yasmin Spencer is a licensed acupuncturist who specializes in Five Element Acupuncture: www.eastbayfivelements.com, firstname.lastname@example.com. Her unique style of practice is intended to balance all aspects so as to become unified as a whole person.

Curious…do most of your peers now reject all the stuff coming from tigers, rhinos, bears? It's horrible what TCM doing to these animals. ~ Waylon
Yes, most (if not all) of my peers do not use herbs from tigers, rhinos, and bears.
Im glad to see some five element acupuncture floating around here. Did you learn with Worsley? If so, what made you decide to add herbs into your practice? (as TCM and Five Element are different genres, the later doesnt use herbs) Im studying five element and i just know that my successor, JR Worsley, left out teachings on herbs because he couldnt make sense of treating someone with an herb, crushed up ant, dried lizard- what have you, from the other side of the world especially. He didnt find it was applicable to a western/modern holistic acupuncture and actually believed in local as a concept. Im curious how you integrate herbs into a 5E treatment? Just saying…as a student whose pationate about this field i left this comment with the intention of keeping the word and teachings of five element acupuncture in its pure, original form!
I understand your perspective, as it is a view point that is shared by many who practice traditional Five Elements. Perhaps it is because I was an herbalist before I became an acupuncturist, but I have found that there are appropriate time to treat with herbal medicine over acupuncture (or in combination with acupuncture). My ultimate goal is to help my patients and I trust the tools that I have been given to help them with.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Three decades after Microsoft Corp's Windows operating system helped kick off the personal computer revolution, the tech giant is unwrapping what some analysts consider the most critical version of the iconic software.
Windows 8, which goes on sale Friday, is making its debut at a time when Microsoft MSFT, +0.26% is still dominant in the PC market, but has widely stumbled in what is now referred to as a post-PC era marked by the rapid rise of smartphones and tablets, where rivals Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.48% and Google Inc. GOOG, +0.62% have taken control.
"Windows 8 is the most critical launch Microsoft has ever faced," Roger Kay of Endpoint Technologies Associates told MarketWatch. "The stakes are huge. A miss on the transition from legacy to modern mobile operating could be life threatening, leaving the field wide open to Apple, Google, Amazon, and others.
Microsoft launches Windows 8
Microsoft officially unveiled its new Windows 8 operating system Thursday, the result of the company's redesign of the OS to be tablet-friendly. Marketwatch's Dan Gallagher has details.
He added, "Never before has Microsoft's market position been so at risk."
In fact, Windows 8 is seen as Microsoft's bold, dual-pronged offensive aimed at reviving its core PC business, while giving it a much-needed boost in mobile computing, where it lags faster-moving rivals.
"People in the PC market are looking for something fresh and new, and Windows 8 is definitely fresh and new," IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell told MarketWatch.
But Microsoft has not always had a good track record when it comes to rolling out something fresh and new. Windows 8 is supposed to be faster and more powerful, with advanced sophisticated features familiar to users of smartphones and tablets, such as touch functions and social networking capabilities. But — unfortunately for Microsoft — the early reviews have been mixed.
"It's not that intuitive," FBR Capital analyst David Hilal, who has been testing Windows 8, told MarketWatch. "It's a vastly different experience. ... I know my mother would have a hard time adapting to this interface."
O'Donnell of IDC also said, "Boy, it's not looking great right now." She added, "It's early. [But] the reality is the initial feedback from the PC vendors is that their order builds have been relatively modest."
That modest momentum was reflected in the muted third-quarter results of Microsoft's partners in the PC market, led by Intel Corp. INTC, +1.70% and Advanced Micro Devices. AMD, +1.67% While the uncertainty in the economy is a major factor, analysts say some manufacturers and users are also worried about the changes.
On example is that, while touch is supposed to be a main feature of Windows 8, most of the new machines running the operating system will not have those capabilities.
"All the ads that Microsoft and Intel seem to be running are all around touch, yet the vast majority of systems will be non touch," O'Donnell said.
Then there's also the broad scope of Microsoft's rollout, which is aimed at multiple form factors, from desktops, laptops to tablets. The new Windows also includes a version of Windows, referred to as Windows RT, that is compatible with chips based on the technology of Intel rival, ARM Holdings. ARMH, +0.56%

Night time is the right time!
I've been a night person all my life and this is the first time anyone's appreciated it! I was born in Philadelphia and lived many years in the Baltimore area. I've loved radio since I was a kid and consider myself extremely lucky to do it for a living. I'm a 2002 graduate of the DC campus of the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, I'm a writer, musician and cartoonist in my free time. And I'm a huge fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles, Flyers and Sixers as well as the Maryland Terrapins.

Check Engine
by JD
posted Nov 20 2013 5:49PM
Why is the check engine light a thing? Can't they be any more specific? My first car was a 1971 Pontiac LeMans (a classic even then; I'm not
old). On the dashboard were like 12 indicator lights. If something went wrong, you knew exactly what it was. Plus, the engine only had around 12 or so parts, so if a light came on you knew what to fix (I exaggerate, but only slightly).
Now there's just the check engine light. If that comes on it could be the result of any of a hundred different things, some of which are more or less harmless, some of which are very bad indeed. And you have no way to know what the problem is without some kind of device you plug into the car's computer.
It's exasperating, especially when you factor in the fact that among the few other indicator lights are an airbag indicator. An airbag indicator! Who needs that? I've had an airbag go off in my face and trust me it's not the kind of thing that could possibly escape your notice. That airbag goes off, I assure you you'll know all about it. First of all is the noise. It's loud. Real loud. I've been to the gun range before, I've seen fireworks demonstrations up close, and the airbag is much, much louder, possibly because (a) it's literally right in your face and (b) it's inside an enclosed car, at least in my case it was. The accident that caused the airbag to fire took place in late fall, so the windows were all rolled up. Other than that is the airbag itself. As I said it's right in your face. And your chest. For a moment I was pinned to my seat, unable to move. Then the airbag deflated. My seatbelt had locked up, and it stayed that way. I learned later that they're supposed to do that, and the only way to unlock them is through some mechanical process that involves removing panels from the car's interior and etc. So I sat there for maybe five minutes trying to make it unlock before I finally gave up and just unlatched it.
But that just further illustrates my original point. Cars are needlessly over-complicated these days. Except for the dashboard indicator lights, of course. Whew, all right, rant over. Thanks for reading. Cheers.

Alchemical Healing
During this volatile time, the principles of alchemy offer effective tools to thwart our apocalyptic bent. The classical arcane goal of turning lead into gold is an apt metaphor for the transformation we require now, both personally and globally. How can we enlighten the lead of depression, fear and despair that holds so many people hostage? By what methods can we turn the pandemic of environmentally based diseases into opportunities for a healthier and more fulfilled future?
Click here to listen to a podcast of the latest Introduction to Alchemical Healing with Nicki.
Whether responding to global issues or specific personal needswhether for physical healing or for spiritual growth and development, our inherent ability to recognize and utilize available intelligence is often underestimated and overlooked. Alchemy is the process of turning the base substance of who we arethe dark mystery of our subconsciousinto the alchemical gold of knowledge and enlightenment. Like carbon that undergoes tremendous amounts of heat and pressure in order to become a clear, hard, exquisite diamond, we master our lives and achieve clarity and brilliance through the management of pressure and our adversarial conditions.
Find out about Private Healing Sessions with Nicki Scully…
Modern alchemy is emerging as one of the most powerful tools for transforming our reality, and Alchemical Healing, the comprehensive form developed by Nicki Scully, is an important vehicle for those who would heal themselves, and others. Alchemical Healing provides ways to weave spirit and matter, to develop communications between divinity and humanity, to transform experience into wisdom, and to skillfully influence physical reality to achieve healing and transformation. It honors the accumulated wisdom of the Earth and humankind, both in written and oral traditions, and it permits entry into the magical realms of intuition and limitless knowledge.
Through Alchemical Healing we consciously enter the infinite depths, prepared to bring forth that which has yet to be put into words, and to expand our capabilities to translate our magical experience into effective healing action.

Personal and Planetary Alchemical Healing Intensive Retreat
With Nicki Scully and other Alchemical Healing Teachers
New Dates!
August 12 - 18, 2015
This year I am excited to offer a seven day Alchemical and Planetary Healing Intensive retreat seminar. We have decided to consolidate the learning process in order to make it more accessible and with less travel required. The processes in our latest book Planetary Healing: Spirit Medicine for Global Transformation were initially created to expand the scope of Alchemical Healing beyond one-on-one healing to a larger scale, where it can affect groups and situations such as environmental degradation, diseases, conflicts and disasters. In this retreat we will cover salient rites and initiations from the entire form, providing tools and experience that will give participants depth, breadth and confidence in their personal and planetary Alchemical Healing practices. This retreat is open to all levels of students and practitioners, as we will study the entire form, including processes and initiations from all three related texts (Alchemical Healing, Power Animal Meditations and Planetary Healing), however, we will be moving quickly through the basics thus students are highly encouraged to come to this retreat having already read Alchemical Healing, and practiced the form on some level. This is also a great opportunity for advanced students as it will be both a refresher and an opportunity to learn and practice new techniques and receive new empowerments. This intensive class is a prerequisite for the Alchemical Healing Practitioner Certification.
Nicki's books, Planetary Healing (co-authored with her husband, Mark Hallert), Alchemical Healing and Power Animal Meditations are used as text books for this class, and can be purchased through our office, here, or at your local bookstore.
Register Online
The cost of this retreat, including most meals and basic indoor accommodations, tipi or tent space, is $1,388. If you register before May 15th, 2014 you will receive a $200 discount.

The Magical Bonds of Isis and Thoth: An Egyptian Egyptian Mysteries Retreat
Co-created and led by Normandi Ellis and Nicki Scully
September 11 - 15, 2014
Eugene, Oregon, at the Lyceum of Shamanic Egypt
at Nicki Scully's home/center/temple.
In September 2014 Nicki Scully and Normandi Ellis bring their annual Egyptian Mysteries experience back to Oregon. Enter new portals into ancient teachings as we explore the ways in which ancient sacred texts provided the soul with a road map to deeper and fuller spiritual life on the physical, mental and spiritual planes. Learn how the ancients worked with natural laws that enhanced their abilities to create opportunities for magic to happen, and to further prepare us for the next stage of our evolutionary process.
Nicki and Normandi will guide participants into a deeper relationship with Isis, Thoth, and the Egyptian neteru family, through guided meditation, ritual, and discussion. Thoth, the lunar god of wisdom, magic, language, communications, healing, and science inscribed the 42 sacred texts that address these natural laws. He is not only the "teachers' teacher", he is also the principle of wisdom that the gods of Egypt call upon when they need guidance. The legacy of Thoth, found in The Emerald Tablets, implants the seed of wisdom found in many other spiritual systems, such as Tarot, Kabbalah, and the Western magical tradition.
Isis, who learned her magic from the lips of Thoth, embodies the great power of love and desire—the essence of all magic—that allowed her to raise her husband Osiris from the dead in order to conceive their son, Horus, the current ruling god of the Egyptian pantheon. She is known as handmaiden of the god, a healer, a spiritual leader, mother and magician. In later traditions, Isis is known as the Salve Regina archetype of the Great Mother.
This retreat is being held at the Lyceum of Shamanic Egypt, Nicki's lovely home center in Eugene, Oregon. The pro-rated cost of this retreat, including most meals and basic indoor accommodations, tipi or tent space, is $988 if you register before July 31st. After August 1st, the price is $1,188. You may secure your space with a non-refundable $300 deposit.
Please note: there will be a limited number of partial scholarships available. Inquire with our office by email: email@example.com
In 2002, Normandi Ellis and I presented for the first time an Egyptian Mysteries retreat we called Becoming the Oracle, based on work that my husband Mark Hallert and I initially visioned together. This spring, with the brilliant visioning of Gloria Taylor Brown, the next iteration of Becoming An Oracle was published in a seven CD audio program (Sounds True, May, 2009). Please see our beautiful new website, www.BecomingAnOracle.com, for a taste of this new program and a sample journey. During this year's Mystery School Retreat, we will enter into the odyssey of the oracle as we explore the relevance of ancient oracular technology in today's world.
Our Becoming an Oracle Retreat is more than a workshop— it is a pilgrimage during which we will explore ancient and modern oracular technology, with particular focus on ceremonies and initiations that heighten your intuitive senses and bring you into alignment with truth, harmony and your inherent divinity. As you discover your innate oracular abilities, you will learn to find answers to life's challenges for yourself, for others, and for the Earth. During this unique spiritual adventure you will receive initiations into a number of oracular traditions, and begin to familiarize yourself with divination tools such as runes, tarot, palmistry, crystal gazing and scrying. We begin and end in Egypt, and in between we will visit cultures from the audio program, and others that we were unable to fit into the published course. The Anubis Oracle (written by Nicki and Linda Star Wolf, and illustrated by Kris Waldherr), will be one of the primary oracular tools that we will consult and learn about during this retreat. The Anubis Oracle introduces us to the archetypal deities and elemental spirits from the Egyptian pantheon that have come forward to assist us on our journey of transformation and renewal.
The retreat will be held at the Lyceum of Shamanic Egypt, the healing center maintained at Nicki's home, a magical sanctuary in the hills on the edge of Eugene, Oregon. The retreat begins the evening of August 19 and continues through the evening of August 23.
The cost of this retreat, including meals and accommodations, is $788, but if you register before August 1, the tuition is only $688. Register online at Hathor's Mirror.
There are a limited number of partial scholarships available. Email email@example.com to apply.
Gloria Taylor Brown has a wonderful new website where you can learn more about her and the great things she is doing. Please visit GloriaTaylorBrown.com
We wish to create an ongoing continuing education program that unites the Egyptian Mysteries, Alchemical Healing, planetary healing and the new Oracle work, that we can present over the next two years. The 2009 Egyptian Mysteries Retreat will provide an in depth foundation in order for us to move forward with this program. We will post details of the extended Mystery School program in the near future.
To register for classes and retreats:
Free classes require online registration; each class presents a link for that purpose.
Registration and payment for paid classes is available on Hathor's Mirror. For classes given by other teachers, please contact the teacher directly.
Checks may be sent to: Shamanic Journeys, Ltd. PO Box 5025 Eugene, OR 97405

A letter of receipt with directions and details for the class will be sent to you by e-mail. Feel free to call if you have any further questions.

Venezuela: Chávez refers to the United States' expulsion of diplomat as arrogant
Fecha: 11/01/2012
If you give him 6 hours to speak on national TV, surely Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez would deliver some anti-American gems. According to Chávez, who came back in full speaker-in-chief mode last Sunday for a marathon of his "Aló Presidente" TV show, the expulsion of diplomat Livia Acosta Noguera is "another demonstration of the ridiculous empire's arrogance."
While the U.S. administration has refused to offer an explanation for declaring Acosta persona non grata and expelling her from the country, it is clear that the former consul's expulsion is a direct response to Documentales Univision's recent documentary The Iranian Threat, which exposed Acosta's ties to a network of Iranian plotters who intended to attack several targets in the U.S.
El Universal reports that Chávez "expressed his solidarity with the Venezuelan diplomat and described her as an outstanding professional who has been 'attacked and demonized.'" President Chávez also stated that Acosta is already in Caracas, and "not returning" to Miami.
"She is a very dignified professional, who was attacked, slandered and demonized by extremist groups, and now by Barack Obama's government," Chávez said. "She will continue working for our foreign service as she has done for many years," Chávez added, as reported by state-run news agency Agencia Venezolana de Noticias (AVN).
As for an official statement from Acosta herself, so far the diplomat – who at the time of the video recordings of her involvement in the attacks against the U.S. was working in Mexico – has remained silent.
El Universal quotes Chávez as claiming, "Venezuelan intelligence agencies had forecast that the consul would be expelled."
If that's so, one can only wonder to what arrogance the Venezuelan president refers – and where Acosta is to tell the world her own account of her actions.
