One of the goals of yoga is supreme consciousness, being at one with yourself and at one with the Universe around you. In order to achieve this state of perfect balance and inner peace, one must first quiet the mind. Hence, quieting the mind is not only another goal of the practice, but also a requirement for the practice in and of itself. Yoga is about self-realization and living life in the present moment, at the most profound level. Yoga is about opening up, diving within and experiencing a deep connection with your true self. Yoga is about feeling that interconnectedness with all things and beings. And this is no small task.
Perhaps, one of the best definitions of yoga, as described by Patanjali in his authoritative text, The Yoga Sutra, is a complete stillness of the mind.
Yoga is a union. It is a yoking of all the powers of the mind, the body and the soul with that of a universal power or as some prefer to think of it: the yoking of the individual with it's true self or true nature.
Yoga is what brings calm amidst a storm. It is skill in action. From the words of famous yogi, B.K.S. Iyengar, "When the restlessness of the mind, intellect and self is stilled through the practice of Yoga, the yogi by the grace of the spirit within himself finds fulfillment."
Hatha Yoga is the physical practice of yoga that involves creating poses with the body. These physical postures are referred to as asana. Yoga is an eight limb practice, where asana is the third limb and, in the West, perhaps the most commonly known aspect of yoga. A hatha yoga practice not only challenges the body and promotes physical health but it is also a means to calm the mind, create a greater sense of self-awareness and help the practitioner move towards an inner essence of being.
According to the yogis, true happiness, liberation and enlightenment comes from union with the divine consciousness known as Brahman, or with Atman, the transcendent Self. The various yoga practices are a methodology for reaching that goal.
In hatha yoga, for example, postures and breathing exercises help purify the mind, body and spirit so the yogi can attain union.
The short answer is that yoga makes you feel better. Practicing the postures, breathing exercises and meditation makes you healthier in body, mind and spirit. Yoga lets you tune in, chill out, shape up — all at the same time.

About the Host, Andy
I own a small youth cultural exchange company in Fort Worth, TX called 'Work and Travel Abroad' in which I send students and young adults to Australia and New Zealand to work and travel.
I enjoy most spending time with my family. Aside from that, travel-travel-travel, work some more then travel some more.
Real Estate is one of my passions as well as sailing, traveling by boat, eating good food and having good conversation with friends.
Something most people don't know about me... I love receiving old school post cards in the mail.

Two Birds, One Stone
Comments (0)
Last week, the Charleston Metro Chamber was able to check two major programmatic boxes with one trip. On their way to Richmond for an annual ICV, they added a D.C. leg to the trip. After a direct arrival into Reagan National Airport, thanks to the recent addition of JetBlue service to the Charleston Airport, the delegation headed for the Capitol Visitor's Center for lunch.
Chamber members met with staffers from their key legislators and spent time with Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), a crowd favorite. Each guest spent time addressing some of the chamber's highest priority issues: Ex-Im Bank reauthorization, the deepening of the Charleston harbor and passage of a new federal highway authorization bill. The legislators' familiarity with the chamber's key focus areas was a testament to the chamber's advocacy efforts.
Senator Scott expressed gratitude to the chamber, saying, "Thank you for what you do to help make our community amazing." When asked what the delegation could do to continue their support of the region, Scott advised local businesses to help create the future today, stressing the importance of being on the cutting edge of high tech advancements and also to focus on middle-skill jobs.
After lunch, a charter bus transported the group south to Virginia's capitol. In a partnership with the Charleston Regional Development Alliance, the Charleston Metro Chamber produced a Regional Economic Scorecard which compares Charleston's data from 2005-2013 against six similar cities and two "leading economies", with Richmond among the comparative. Selecting Richmond as the destination for their 4th Annual Metro Leadership Visit allowed the chamber's attendees to make practical comparisons and see how programs, practices and initiatives could be realistically translated back to their own community.
The first stop in Richmond took attendees to Rocketts Landing, a new mixed-use neighborhood on the James River. Richard Souter, one of the developers of the project, was the first to address the group. Attendees learned how the project has become a catalyst for other riverside development, such as a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route and the new Stone Brewery plant and bistro. Richmond's Economic Development Authority COO, Jane Ferrara, also talked the group through the bid process for the Stone project – one for which Charleston was also in competition.
The next two days included tours and presentations on a host of other topics such as urban living, BRT, Virginia's Biotechnology Park, creativity and entrepreneurism. Although the range of topics was diverse, the common theme was growth and development. Several attendees alluded to a growing divide in Charleston between those that want to see the city grow, and those that want to preserve its historic charm. The chamber supports "responsible growth", so it is no wonder they are looking to Richmond and other historic cities to see how leaders there are successfully getting things done with public support.
The diversity of topics also served as a recruitment tool for the trip. The roughly 30 delegates represented an array of industries such as banking, technology, architecture and development, educational institutions, hospitality and others. One attendee remarked that the diverse networking opportunities was a big motivator in attending the visit. She also appreciated getting to know peers in this type of environment, because it affords an opportunity to connect on a deeper level.
Also of benefit to attendees is the value of meeting with and learning from thought leaders in other flourishing destinations. One attendee, a professor at the College of Charleston, voiced his appreciation for educational opportunities such as the leadership visit. "Every time I come to a chamber event, I come away with something new. It is the only conduit to 'all of this'", he said as he gestured around him.

Upstate N.Y.s New Advocate for Regional Business
Comments (0)
The memberships of the Albany-Colonie Regional Chamber and the Chamber of Schenectady County have voted to integrate into one umbrella organization: the Capital Region Chamber of Commerce. According to an article in Albany Business Review, the move forms "the largest chamber in the Albany, New York region" that will serve regional business interests and provide broad-based member services. Both chambers will exist as affiliate members of the Capital Region Chamber. They will operate with their own identities and boards, and continue to present locally-focused programs and provide issue advocacy at the local level.

A Map That Was Worth 1,000 Words

Chambers of commerce affect history in strange ways.
Harry Gold watched nervously as FBI agents ransacked his Philadelphia apartment. They had been tipped off by a spy for the Soviets, British citizen Klaus Fuchs, that someone had been a courier between Fuchs and others in an atomic spy ring. Fuchs couldn't name the person, but the FBI managed to infer from Fuchs and other evidence that the individual might be Gold.
It was May 22, 1950. The Soviets had detonated an atomic bomb nine months earlier, which President Truman had announced to the nation. The resulting hysteria, fanned by Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, was gripping the country. The idea that one of the most murderous regimes in history, Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union, now had a weapon of mass destruction, was too much to bear. Yes, without spies the Soviets sooner or later would have devised their own bomb, but for them to have it years ahead of schedule represented an obvious danger for America and her allies. (Indeed, as some pointed out later in the year, the Soviets' having the atomic bomb may have been what emboldened Kim Il Sung of North Korea to invade South Korea in June 1950, setting off a war that would cost 35,000 U.S. lives.)
Who had leaked our secrets to Moscow? Harry Gold, an unassuming, pudgy chemist, considered kind and likeable by those who knew him, was not a likely suspect. Moreover, when the federal agents asked him if he had been to the Manhattan Project laboratories in Los Alamos, N. M., he said no, he hadn't even been west of the Mississippi.
The G-men, Scotty Miller and Richard Brennan, continued their search. Miller reached behind a bookcase and found a brochure. It included a detailed map of Santa Fe, N.M. It was published by the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce.
"I thought you said you'd never been out West," Miller said to Gold. Taken aback, Gold opened his mouth, sat down and said, "I am the man to whom Fuchs gave the information."[i]
The evidence against Gold was not conclusive. He might have escaped arrest if he had kept his mouth shut.[ii] But somehow that map, and perhaps his own feelings of guilt or his desire to be helpful, undermined his instinct for self-preservation. He opened up to the agents. Two days later, Fuchs, shown a photo of Gold, confirmed that he was the man Fuchs had worked with. Gold would go on to help the FBI on dozens of investigations, many of which he suggested. The atomic spy ring case was about to be blown wide open.
Gold fingered David Greenglass, a former Army officer assigned to Los Alamos in 1944 and 1945. Greenglass, in turn, implicated his brother-in-law, Julius Rosenberg, and eventually Rosenberg's wife (and David Greenglass's sister) Ethel, too. Greenglass had bargained to save his wife from prosecution.[iii]
The results were soon delivered by the courts. Gold received a 30-year sentence and served 14 years of it; Greenglass got a 15-year sentence and served 9 ½ years of it; and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were electrocuted at Sing Sing Prison on June 19, 1953.
Thus did a simple chamber of commerce map play a role in the greatest spy drama in American history. In events of not only national, but sometimes of world importance, chambers of commerce stubbornly, often in unexpected and even unintended ways, kept at their business. In the atomic age, when communities could be blown off the face of the earth, towns' and cities' chambers of commerce still would remain, one way or another, on the map.
[i] Robert J. Lamphere and Tom Schactman, The FBI-KGB War: A Special Agent's Story (Macon, Georgia: Mercer University Press, 1995; previous edition, 1986), 151. Lamphere was the agent dealing with Klaus Fuchs in London while his colleagues were handling Gold in Philadelphia.
[ii] Gold's biographer has written that the spy from Philadelphia could have escaped arrest if he had not confessed. See: Allen Hornblum, "Convicted Spy Harry Gold was Philadelphia's Benedict Arnold," Web posting on Philly.com, November 3, 2010. Hornblum's biography was: The Invisible Harry Gold: The Man Who Gave the Soviets the Atom Bomb (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2010 ).

Coolest Chamber in the Country?
Comments (0)
Without a doubt, my favorite museum in D.C. is the National Portrait Gallery. I love the presidential portraits and the folk art exhibit, and the atrium is awesome when it's stifling hot or freezing cold outside. But what I love most are the rotating exhibits.
Last year they hosted American Cool, a portrait collection of the 100 Americans who define "cool." Muhammad Ali? Check. Marlon Brando? Check. Madonna? Elvis? Prince? Check, check, check.
But, surprise of surprises, not one chamber exec! I couldn't even find a chamber board member. No chamber folks on the Alt-100 list (runners up group) either. How was this oversight possible?
Okay, so maybe chamber execs would be out of place among the top 100 (top 1,000?) coolest Americans of all time. But I know plenty of chambers working hard to shake off the stodgy image and channel their inner cool. The most successful right now could be the IndyChamber. Why?
They have their own house band.
The nine-member R&B ensemble called Chamber Music (clever) features five members of the chamber staff and three chamber staff relatives. Chamber CEO Michael Huber holds it down on keyboards. And Chamber Music is not a one-time, staff party gimmick. This group has gigs! They recently rocked the annual fundraiser for the Indiana Fiscal Policy Institute.
Read more about Chamber Music in the IndyStar. I'm just waiting for footage on the IndyChamber's YouTube Channel.

Making the case: Dont support the chamber . . . unless
Comments (0)
Last month, Mike Elswick, publisher at the Terrell Tribune in Texas, didn't mince words when he made the case for joining his town's local chamber . . . or not. His opinion piece, published with the provocative headline, "Don't support your chamber of commerce .... unless," makes numerous arguments for why businesses in Terrell, Texas, should join their local chamber. His points can be applied to any chamber's membership recruitment efforts, but the way he presents his case makes this op-ed a must-read.
On the Road with The Magicians of Main Street
Comments (0)
Recently, ACCE's Senior Vice President Chris Mead has had the honor of visiting member chambers to share the stories and history of chambers of commerce presented in his book, The Magicians of Main Street. Last Thursday, he was the featured speaker at the Walton Area, Fl., Chamber's annual gala and 90th anniversary event. Today, he travels to his hometown of Chapel Hill to be the keynote speaker at the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber's annual meeting.
"Chambers of commerce in the United States have such a rich history on their own, but few know about their integral part of American history," said Mead. "I really enjoy seeing the audiences' reactions of surprise and sometimes delight. These stories can be a motivator for chamber staff and volunteers to think big."
Look for Mead's presentation in your area or the next chamber execs meeting. In February he is slated to speak at Ohio Chamber execs (CCEO), Commerce Lexington, and One Southern Indiana. He will also present this spring at Mid-America Chamber Executives' Annual Conference in South Dakota, MAKO Chamber Conference in Missouri, and the Florida Association of Chamber Professionals' Spring Conference.
The Magicians of Main Street is available on amazon.com. Learn more about the book here.

Make the most out of your skincare regime with BORGHESE's intelligent moisture intensifier. Not only does it flood dry skin with hydration; it also helps your other products sink in more deeply so that active ingredients can perform more effectively. As if that weren't enough, the lightweight formula boosts skin smoothness and clarity. Think of it as your moisturizer's best friend.
I received the above product as a free sample with my $30 purchase. I don't have a lot of dry skin, so I can't appreciate this product like someone else may. I was expecting a cream, but it is more like an oil (I learned this the hard way when I went to put some in my hand). Also, the scent isn't that great. It has a chemical smell to it. I was hoping for more of a pleasing scent. I guess that this may be a great product for some people... I'm just not one of them.2

At Saint Michael, we are working toward deeper life with God and one another. We seek to consider ourselves not only members of a church, but members of the Body of Christ. This involves welcoming each other, whether stranger or not. It involves trusting each other with our stories, engaging in worship, formation and fellowship and recognizing that love has nothing to do with liking everyone we meet. It involves helping each other listen for God's call, in the community and in each of us. It involves becoming a disciple.

Purple Spectrum Tall Wine Glass
Item Added to Basket
Purple Spectrum Tall Wine Glass is rated out of 5 by 11.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Just Jill from Sturdy and colourful I am forever breaking wine glasses, but love ones that are decorative. But these have all the 'looks' but with a sturdy body, so perhaps this time, the whole set will survive! Would be happy to buy again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Hennamay from chunky A quite heavy/chuncky glass. From a distance looks like a really nice glass, but get closer and it's a bit sturdier than expected. I think I can live with that as they are a lot less likely to break than a thinner glass would be
Date published: 2014-10-24
Rated 5 out of 5 by Corner Girl. from Perfect Purple. The Purple of this product does not quite match the rest of the range but these glasses are really nice so I overlook that. The colour fades to the base as well so it is not clashing with the purple coasters etc. Quality is good and they are a very nice size. Thay do look very stylish so I would consider buying more in case one or two get broken.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lazy from Lovely Glasses We use the glasses every day with evening meals and look more expensive than the actual cost.

Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard ranks among the most scathing satires of Hollywood and the cruel fickleness of movie fandom. The story begins at the end as the body of Joe Gillis (William Holden) is fished out of a Hollywood swimming pool. From The Great Beyond, Joe details the circumstances of his untimely demise (originally, the film contained a lengthy prologue wherein the late Mr. Gillis told his tale to his fellow corpses in the city morgue, but this elicited such laughter during the preview that Wilder changed it). Hotly pursued by repo men, impoverished, indebted "boy wonder" screenwriter Gillis ducks into the garage of an apparently abandoned Sunset Boulevard mansion. Wandering into the spooky place, Joe encounters its owner, imperious silent star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson). Upon learning Joe's profession, Norma inveigles him into helping her with a comeback script that she's been working on for years. Joe realizes that the script is hopeless, but the money is good and he has nowhere else to go. Soon the cynical and opportunistic Joe becomes Norma's kept man. While they continue collaborating, Norma's loyal and protective chauffeur Max Von Mayerling (played by legendary filmmaker Erich von Stroheim) contemptuously watches from a distance. More melodramatic than funny, the screenplay by Wilder and Charles Brackett began life as a comedy about a has-been silent movie actress and the ambitious screenwriter who leeches off her. (Wilder originally offered the film to Mae West, Mary Pickford and Pola Negri. Montgomery Clift was the first choice for the part of opportunistic screenwriter Joe Gillis, but he refused, citing as "disgusting" the notion of a 25-year-old man being kept by a 50-year-old woman.) Andrew Lloyd Webber's long-running musical version has served as a tour-de-force for contemporary actresses ranging from Glenn Close to Betty Buckley to Diahann Carroll.

Political art.
Political art.
I looked at all of the paintings. Very impressive.
These are absolutely incredible.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Enjoy.
very funny what a back woods hick..
I only gave this a 'No" due to the fact that I've been these things everywhere.
The night I gave this a thumbs down, it came up three goddamn times.
You betcha!
I'm not a republican, nor am I an American, but come on. Leave her alone.
Oh, for God's sake. Someone take a look at the woman's record as gov of Alaska before you start making crackpot digs on her. I'm not a Republican, but I still find this moronic.
If this were Obama with Lady Liberty in the South Side the heads would roll. And oddly enough, Dems are in favor of larger government that restricts our daily liberties... hmmmm...
i agree with jason paul schmidt, there is a lot of ultra-dogmatic left-wing hysteria out there. but that's life. i just like the picture cause it makes sarah look hot.
Zina Saunders owns. And that jasonpaul dude under me, being a libertarian, is pretty hilarious calling people pseudo-intellectual. Atlas Sucked.
Nice Palin
A little far even for satire, crosses into bad taste no matter what you think of her politics.
From the page: "Painted and displayed in the week after McCain chooses her as his running mate. To order the book of my McCain/Palin Campaign satires, The Party's Over,"
The party's over

This sounds great! I'm going
This sounds great! I'm going to have to try this....
Coming indoors and going out, the dry winter air causes static hair, parched skin, and—especially—cracked lips.
It's easy and inexpensive to make your own moisturizing lip balm from natural ingredients.
You need only two ingredients for the most basic product: a little beeswax and a good-quality oil.
The oil and wax together seal in moisture; the beeswax (which contains healing anti-inflammatory and antibiotic compounds) stiffens the product. I add a little raw honey to mine, for its flavor, healing properties, and moisturizing effects.
If you know a local beekeeper, he or she probably sells food-grade beeswax as well as honey. Health food stores usually carry beeswax in blocks, "medallions," or beads. A dollar or two will buy enough to make quite a few batches of lip balm.
For preparation and storage, you'll also need:
For the basic recipe:
As soon as the wax has melted, remove the pot from the heat, whisk in the honey. Pour into a container and let set until firm.
If the solidified mixture feels too firm, remelt and whisk in a little more oil. If you want a firmer product (e.g., one that will fill and push out from a lip-balm tube, add a bit more beeswax). The process of remelting takes only a few seconds, so you won't mind the work of getting it right.
Once you've succeeded with the basic product, you can try new batch using ingredients such as a few drops of a medicinal tincture or an essential oil; cocoa butter, shea butter, or coconut oil for some of the oil; and carnuba wax in place of beeswax.
By the way, this stuff also works well to smooth unruly eyebrows, treat chapped hands and moisturize cuticles and fingernails, so you may want to make a bigger batch on your second try.
This sounds great! I'm going to have to try this....
When it comes to winter skin care for wee ones, don't forget those cherub lips and chubby cheeks. Dry air and windy weather can play havoc with a baby's exposed skin, making chapped lips and cheeks, and even windburn (which looks and feels like sunburn) common winter skin-care problems.
How to treat: The same way you treat dry baby skin on any part of your little one's body — moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. At least twice a day, smooth some fragrance-free, hypoallergenic lotion, cream, or ointment on your baby's cheeks. And put some made-for-baby lip balm or ointment on your cutie's chapped lips.
How to prevent: Always moisturize (see above) before you step out with your baby. On blustery days, use a plastic rain cover to keep the wind out of the stroller.
Hi, I am a cosmetic tattooist and im wanting to make my own natural balm for my after procedure care to be applied on brows lips and eyes (liner) to keep moist and help to promote healing, I am wanting it to be natural products , is there anything you could suggest? I am a huge fan of pawpaw ointment but wanting to produce my own product, I really like the consistency of the pawpaw too. Thanks Rae
Rae, Take a look at this post on making herbal salves. Many herbs would work well for your purposes.
I'm not knowledgeable about the regulations involved in your profession. I'd check to make sure there aren't any legal restrictions on the use of homemade medicinal preparations.
its wonderful, have 2 practice. thx
I have really been wanting to make my own lip balm, but the problem is that neither beeswax nor any of the substitutes for beeswax that I have found online are sold in stores near my house. I am wondering if petroleum jelly will work although I am aware that it is not natural. I am not a fan of online shopping, so even though I have found beeswax being sold online, I do not wish to purchase it there. Also, I am not confident enough to use the fire, so I would like to know if I can simply put my whole concoction in the toaster to melt it, or use recently boiled water. Thanks so much for your help!
~Michelle Lauren (michellelaurenxe.weebly.com)
Hi Michelle,
You can use vaseline (petroleum-based) on your lips if you want, but it won't work as a substitute for beeswax.
Perhaps you could find candelilla wax somewhere in Singapore. You would use only half as much of this plant-based wax as the beeswax in your recipe.
And please don't try melting anything in your toaster! Get help from someone, and use the stove.

This has become our favorite rug in the house. It's in our playroom. We love how thick and soft it is when sitting and playing on the floor. Also it's great to walk on in bare feet! I've received compliments from friends on it and everyone is surprised how little I paid. In person, the color is more of a light cocoa with cream accents. Nice neutral tones with a pretty pattern. This was a really great deal. The prices locally were much higher. Thanks, Overstock!!!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Light cocoa background with cream accents
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very good
I will say that the color is a little lighter than the online picture but unlike one review, I could tell where the damask was. The darker, non-damask par of the rug had some speckling in it. It wasn't all one color. But I didn't think it looked bad. I really liked the rug but the size was just huge for my living room. We currently have 6x9 and this rug is not offered in that size. So bummed. So looks like my search for a rug continues.
This carpet for the price is excellent, I just love it . Colors where exactly like the picture. Fast shipping too.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? it looked exactly like picture
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very high quality and very plush and soft
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? actually spot on ..
We love our new rug! The colors are beautiful and match perfectly with our hardwood floors and stone fireplace. The rug is soft and we enjoy sitting on it. Shipping was faster than expected too!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Excellent
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very soft and true to the description and picture
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Completely accurate
No shedding and very attractive. Pile isn't super thick but didn't expect it to be for that price. Purchased for a college apartment so it's just fine!
Tried o get rug to be a rectangle but it was askew and had to be returned.
very nice - in the bedroom - look great.
Just got this rug today and let me say first that I'm sure that I am much more particular than the average person but these are my thoughts about the rug: 1. the color is more taupe than beige. I am an artist that can discern many more colors than most people and the colors of my computer screen are precisely calibrated. My walls are beige and my tile floors are taupe. I wanted a rug that wouldn't blend in with the tile and would match my walls and beige pillows. That is not what I received. 2. I bought the 9' 6" x 12' rug and the design is not centered!!!! I find this to be unexcusable. Center the design just like it's shown in the picture. Is that too much to ask for? 3. On a positive note, the quality is beautiful and the texture is so soft! The price is good. And who doesn't love a damask design? It's classic yet modern. Just wish it was a true beige and the design was woven in centered. But seeing as this is already the 2nd rug I've ordered for this room I guess I'm stuck with it. Shopping for things like this online is getting exceedingly frustrating. I hope you have more luck than I!
I love this rug! It is super plush and cozy. The pattern is subtle and the colors are neutral. I love how it looks in my living room, and think it would look great with a variety of color palettes.
The price was great for this large rug. It was much thicker than I expected. Looks great in my family room.

This razor glides very smoothly over the skin because of the shaving gel built in the razor, which is convenient. The gel doesn't last too long, only 3-4 days max, but it's really best on the first day. If you have sensitive skin, this may be the razor for you because it doesn't "scratch" over the skin, it feels very lubricated. It gives a very close shave, which lasts for two days or more, depending on the rate at which your hair grows.

Best razor I've ever used and now it's the only one I'll buy. Gives a quick, super-close shave and also provides a thorough exfoliation. I have never nicked or cut myself while using these, not even once. And I love the moisturizing shave bars. But I found that I have to make sure to store this with the blade up and not down, otherwise the gel can get all melty and run out all over the place.
A little on the pricey side but definitely worth it. I always keep an eye out for coupons and sales for this item because it really is the best. Have repurchased and will continue to do so.

I switched to the Schick Hydro Silk after a whole box of my Venus Embrace cartridges ended up being defective and I wanted to try something new. I honestly like this better. It gives me a noticeably closer shave, I like the slick "silk" stuff and the razor itself feels better in my hand. I will definitely continue to use this over the Venus Embrace, which was once my favorite.

Schick Hydrosilk Cut me up but good, I never had any problem with Venus Embrace it is the best ever, I don't know what possessed me to buy this, I thought oh, just add water must be really padded like Venus and it will protect my skin. I am returning this right now. I have never had the nicks like I had with this razor it literally cut me up like a Ninja Samurai sword. Never, ever, ever. It was like using a Bic with one blade and no coating at all. Thumbs down on Schick Hydrosilk. I really take good care of my body esp. when shaving, and this left a bunch of hurting cuts I am going to have to wait a good 4 days b4 I can shave again with my beautiful Venus Embrace it is the best!!!

I've used pretty much every razor out there; and was a dedicated Intuition user for years. Recently I've decided they're not doing it for me anymore because of the price and they don't last more than like 3 uses. This razor is great, it shaves very close and is easy to handle-very light. I don't feel like the little strip on it did anything, but it would probably be a little rough without it! I tend to shave very fast and carelessly, and this razor allows for it mostly. I always use shaving cream/gel. With a fresh blade there can be a little burn, but that's the case with a lot of fresh razors and sensitive skin! Definitely try this if you're a fan of the Quattro too!

This razor does an okay job, but I'm not a huge fan of the gelly shaving bars that the.blades have around them. The gel is sticky and goopy. No thanks!

I'm a convert! I used cheap disposable 4-blade razors with lubricating strips before, these are so much better it's totally worth paying more. There's coupons out all the time, i just used one for $6 off any pack refills, scored 5 pack for $8. One cartridge lasts forever, I think I used it for 2 weeks on legs, pits and bikini area (sorry, tmi?). Love the ergonomic handle. I can shave quickly without cutting myself, and even sensitive areas are not irritated after. Of course, I do use shave cream. I can't even feel the blades when shaving, it's so smooth.

Not bad! Gives a much closer shave than the Intuition, and is much easier to handle as well. The first few uses are the best, but I've found that once the gel part dissipates, if I use a shaving gel with it, the blades are still good for several more uses.

This razor is horrible. It never gave me a close shave, and it always left me in pain, blood, or razor burn! I have no idea how there are so many good reviews on this razor. Literally every time I used it, I got either a cut, razor burn, or painful bumps from it. Also the razor doesn't even get a close shave, no matter how many times I tried with this thing I came out with stubble. DO NOT BUY THIS RAZOR!!!!

This razor has to be the worst one I've ever owned. I shave my legs in the shower and with this razor if I go to fast (which is really not even that fast) or if I make one wrong move I cut myself. I have about 10 places on my legs (two that are scars now) from where I've cut myself. Maybe it would work better if I shaved my legs sitting on the side of the tub. I honestly don't know. But once I am finished with my last cartridge I am trashing this razor and going back to my Schick Quatro for Women.

Comments about Salomon Hacker Ski Poles 2015:
These are awesome! I had a pair of a World Cup poles that I loved and they were stolen from me this season. I never thought I'd find a suitable replacement. I LOVE the Salomon Hacker. The grips are the best part: ergonomic and the straps are so convenient and easy to adjust to your preferred size. Also, they don't specify left or right, which drove me crazy with my old poles (even though I knew it didn't make a difference, the OCD in me NEEDED to have them on the correct hands). The powder baskets are nice. I actually like that they come attached and are the only option. Less fuss, no changing baskets based on conditions, just get out there and ride! Lastly, these are bright and stylish. The orange/teal combo was the perfect color pop to add to my kit. I got a compliment from a stranger the first day I used them and my snowboarding buddies were jealous of my new hardware.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great looks and fabulous functionality!

About Me Intermediate
I'll post my comments based on the recommended examples below:How you use the product - I use the product when skiing down hills and also on flat surfaces - they are very effective at this task and don't seem to complain - at least not that I can hear, but maybe i'm not paying enough attention.....Things that are great about it - These poles are lightweight, look great (acknowledging that this is all in the eye of the beholder!) and importantly don't have a left/right configuration as my previous poles did. (I'm not joking about that last part, it's something I didn't check when buying my last poles and it drove me to insanity)Things that aren't so great about it - I don't believe the color scheme will be to everyone's liking, however that is entirely personal preference.I also feel that the straps could be slightly larger - they are wider than the usual stitched strap i've seen on most other skis and padding that I find makes it harder to slip on and off the wrist - my solution to this is not to use the straps haha

Twist To Fit BGP100 Smartphone Game Pad
1 Comment to Twist To Fit BGP100 Smartphone Game Pad
this is way……cool! its like having a PSP around but you can pick up the call at the same time LOL really cool!
Gaming on any cell phone is a challenge to say the least; the tiny buttons are far from applicable. The BGP100, which appears to be yet another after market game pad for cell phones is actually an innovative piece of kit. The device can expand to accommodate handsets up to 55mm wide and works with a variety of smartphone platforms including Windows Mobile, PocketPC and Symbian UIQ. Looks a little closer and you'll notice that the two halves can be formed together to form a full blown game pad in the event that your phone is of an obscure shape or too big for fit. The BGP100 connects to the handset via Bluetooth and takes one AAA battery, which should allow for 3.5 hours of play.
It's available here for $88 US ($129 AUS)
Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."
