Among the biggest losers in Tuesday's early trading are
Perfect World (Nasdaq: PWRD)
Polypore International (
In the United States, video-game stocks have been trading at
multi-year lows, in part due to a dearth of hot new gaming consoles
that typically spur demand for new gaming titles. Over in China,
it's another problem: Consumer interest in online multi-player
gaming is cooling. Not only are Chinese consumers spending less
time playing, but they are increasingly staying away from the
higher-priced games.
You can see the trend in just-released results for Perfect
World, one of the leading gaming developers in China.
Second-quarter sales fell 5% from a year ago to $106 million, which
was slightly below consensus forecasts. Investors must have seen
the shortfall coming asshares had dropped for five straight
sessions before falling another 6% this morning.
Still, this is shaping up to be a heckuva value play: Even after
issuing a one-time $98 milliondividend payment to shareholders in
April 2012, Perfect World still has around $320 million in net
cash, not far from the company's entiremarket value of $460
million. Analysts at Oppenheimer seeearnings per share (
) stagnating at around $2 a share in 2012 and 2013, which implies a
quite-lowforward earnings multiple of around 4.5. Shares may be
dead money in the near-term, but this is a good time to brush up on
the company's long-term growth plans to see whether such low
valuations represent the deep bargain they seem to be.
The end of the Volt?
It's hard not to feel sorry for
. After re-emerging from bankruptcy, it has repeatedly stumbled in
its bid to take back industry leadership. Even the company's
hallmark efforts to be a leading-edge player in the electric car
industry appear to be a bust, as GM just announced that it is
halting production of the Chevy Volt for a month to give dealers
more time to clear outinventory . Considering where this car is in
its product life cycle, sales woes are a likely harbinger of
long-termmarket failure for the Volt.
The Volt's possible premature demise is bad news for Polypore
Int'l, whose shares are sliding almost 10% this morning after
establishing a new52-week low . Polypore provides the membranes
that allow electrons to flow across the Volt's battery
Polypore is also involved in other industries such as health
care and water filtration. Analysts regard the company's membrane
technology as leading-edge, and over the long-haul, Polypore is
well-positioned in several growth verticals. Still, 2012 is shaping
up to be a lost year. Few near-term catalysts exist and you're best
off waiting to see shares really capitulate in any broadermarket
Action to Take -->
While both of these stocks lack catalysts, Perfect World offers
some stunning valuation metrics. That's not a signal to buy, but
now is a good time to study the company's long-term growth plans --
while the entire business, net of cash, is accorded little value.
When it comes to the gaming industry, just one or two hot new
titles can give a stock a fresh sheen.

Committee apprehensive about cost of mental health crisis center
PORT ORCHARD — A proposed mental health facility that would keep people experiencing a crisis from being booked into jail and out of the emergency room — and off the street — got a big "if" Wednesday from the committee that is evaluating proposals.
The first year of the crisis triage stabilization facility was not the most expensive project the Citizens Advisory Committee recommended to Kitsap County commissioners, and it received the most votes of committee members, but members were concerned about the annual price tag to keep it running. At $2.6 million a year, it would nearly drain the $3.3 million projected to be raised by the county's one-tenth of 1 percent tax.
Those mental health sales tax dollars have paid for crisis triage in other counties that served as the model for the Kitsap proposal, however, and Sheriff Steve Boyer issued a statement Wednesday saying the county can't afford to let the chance to establish the facility slip by.
The recommendation Wednesday is to not fund the facility for the first year without a "clear and concrete" plan for paying for operations in following years.
Russ Hartman, a retired Superior Court judge who is chairman of the committee, said the committee recommended all projects look for alternative sources of money, not just the facility.
But with that large of a price tag, fully funding the facility would mean denying many other important projects aimed to help other populations, such as seniors and young people, he said.
For example, a project proposed by the Olympic Education School District, the most expensive on the list at a recommended $824,000, would help pay for training Kitsap teachers on how to recognize signs of mental illness and substance abuse and put a professional mental health interventionist in schools. Another project, proposed by Martha and Mary Health Services, asked for about $500,000 to create a similar triage facility for elderly people experiencing mental health issues, Hartman said. Some of the projects require one time costs.
He called the triage facility a "wonderful idea."
"But they presented us with a model that isn't financially sustainable, so we need to work on that as a community, and I think we will," Hartman said. "We are not done with this."
Hartman noted that after commissioners make the decision on how to spend the dollars, the committee will remain to monitor and receive reports from grant recipients.
A list of potential sources of money includes funding made available by the Affordable Care Act and also to charge the insurance policies of individuals for their stays.
Commissioners are scheduled to consider the recommendations June 9. They might not take a final vote at that time and could ask that more work be done, said Kitsap Department of Human Services Director Doug Washburn.
The proposal from Kitsap Mental Health Services asked for almost $700,000 for the first year to remodel the vacant work-release facility at the county jail in Port Orchard, as well as to begin hiring and training staff. Once the facility is up and running, however, it's estimated annual cost to operate is almost four times that. It is supported by law enforcement, prosecutors and members of the mental health and substance abuse treatment community.
Although the tax is expected to raise about $3.3 million a year, the plan is to spend slightly less than that just in case, Washburn said.
"After 2008, everyone is still a little gun shy," Washburn said. "We just want to make sure. It's a lot harder to cut stuff once it has started."
Advocates for the mentally ill have long claimed those experiencing crisis are routinely booked into jails or taken to emergency rooms. One is inhumane, they have said, the other is expensive and both are often ineffective.
The proposed 16-bed facility would allow for stays up to five days, where people would begin to receive treatment. Patients would be referred by law enforcement and some health care providers. It would not be a walk-in center or a shelter.
Rochelle Doan, spokeswoman for Kitsap Mental Health, said the agency would look for additional sources of dollars and recheck its proposal to see whether it can lower its final cost. She added that the agency is limited in how it can bill for services.
"This is a conversation that has to happen," Doan said. "Where we end up, I don't know."
Boyer said in a statement that the facility would fill a critical gap in coverage, would save money and keep people out of jail who don't need to be there.
Saying that the time is right, Boyer said in the statement: "We must not fail to take this opportunity. If we do, we may not have it again."
The Kitsap facility is based on facilities in King and Snohomish counties, Doan said, and both are funded by a county mental health sales tax.
Residents pay the tax with a penny on every $10 spent. Because it is so small, the tax can hardly be felt on most purchases. Hartman said he hopes once the money begins to plug holes in the community's response to mental illness, the effects of the spending will be apparent.
"If over time — we're not talking one year or five years — but if over time we are making good choices and following outcomes closely, we will see a need for acute and expensive services decline," he said. "That's the goal here."

Google is starting to remind me of a spoiled little red-headed stepchild lately.
I thought this was a very good video I Matt.
I think they genuinely are trying to educate people about their new system.
Having a degree of some kind seems
How did google go from one of the most loved companies in the world to such a hated one?
There are some fantastic sites that people go to and buy from and recommend and go BACK to and buy from again - that do not feature anywhere in Google. There are bustling communities online - that do not feature anywhere in Google.
WHY do they keep doing this domain stuffing
I agree turbocharged, and I get your inference here - creating quality content should be for reasons nothing to do with Google, but simply to give a good impression to visitors and maximise conversions.
How did google go from one of the most loved companies in the world to such a hated one?
1. Stop advertorials that pass PageRank
The reason to "build for users" is not because Google says to. It's because Google will not always be here as it is now, but users will be. It's because even if Google's algos were much better than they currently are, the sheer density of information online makes it harder to rank, no matter how good you are.
if they tried to open a restaurant they would FAIL on their opening night because they have no concept of being a servant to THEIR customers, they, quite simply, are too arrogant to accept that others just may have an equally different and correct point of view.
In addition to [mattcutts.com...] � it's safe to assume webspam will continue to tackle link networks that violate our guidelines as well.
In fact, we took action on several thousand linksellers in a paid-link-that-passes-PageRank network earlier today.
top priority is to eliminate AdWord competition
The anti-competitive nature of some stuff is starting to even raise my hackles

Chilean President Sebastian Pinera will leave office March 11 with high popularity and one of the best economic records in Latin America. So when I interviewed him, I was curious to know what was his recipe, and why � after achieving such good macro-economic figures � did the opposition win the Dec. 15 elections by a landslide.
Pinera, a center-right billionaire businessman, will leave a country growing at 5 percent annually, a 3 percent inflation rate and having raised the per capita income from $15,000 a year when he took office to about $20,000 today.
By comparison, Argentina and Venezuela are expected to grow by less than 2 percent this year, have annual inflation rates of 28 percent and 56 percent, respectively, and their per capita income figures are below those of Chile.
�Chile today is closer than ever in history to leave behind under-development, to defeat poverty, and to join the First World, which is where we want to get,� Pinera told me in a wide-ranging interview.
He attributed Chile�s success to several factors, such as �democracy, stability, the wisdom of having engaged in dialogue and reached agreements, but also to pursuing a social market economy and free trade.�
When he took office in 2010, the world was in a recession, the U.S. and European economies were in deep trouble, and a devastating earthquake that left $30 billion in damages had struck Chile just 11 days before the start of his government, he noted.
What about the criticism that Chile�s economy is growing fast, but inequality has also grown, and poverty levels have not dropped dramatically? I asked.
�We have reduced inequality and reduced poverty,� he said. �Take any poverty and inequality indicator you want, whether it�s those of our own universities or those of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America, and you will see that that poverty had remained flat during the previous government, and has dropped since. And inequality, too. That�s beyond any discussion.�
Chile�s poverty has fallen steadily from 40 percent in 1990 to 14 percent today, according to U.N. figures.
So if things are going so well, why did President-elect Michelle Bachelet�s opposition coalition win by a landslide? I asked.
�Well, democracy has its mysteries,� Pinera responded with a smile. Bachelet �is a formidable candidate, has many attributes and human virtues, many of which I envy,� he said. He added that �our side made many mistakes,� including having had four presidential candidates during the few months before the elections.
What happened to him is not too different from what happened to Bachelet at the end of her (2006-2010) presidency, Pinera said. She left office with high popularity rates, but her coalition�s candidate � Eduardo Frei � lost the election.
�History repeats itself,� Pinera shrugged.
Asked about his recent trip to Cuba, where he participated at a summit of Latin American countries and was the only president who met with the island�s opposition leaders, Pinera said he is �very happy� to have met with Ladies in White leader Berta Soler during his trip.
�I thought it was the fair, the right thing to do,� Piera said. �I have always thought that when one visits a country, especially a country like Cuba, where there undoubtedly are human rights and democracy problems, one has to � in addition to hearing the Cuban government � hear other voices.�
It shouldn�t come as a surprise that Pinera is leaving office with a 49 percent approval rate.
While he lacks personal charm and often comes across as a cold-minded businessman, Piera has done an excellent job in accelerating Chile�s economic growth and keeping alive its success story (which, by the way, was largely achieved by the good economic management by Chile�s previous center-left governments).
Chile�s decades-old economic growth should be an example for the rest of Latin America. It shows that a democracy with robust opposition parties, free and fair elections, independent media, a market economy and a desire to join the First World is much more successful in reducing poverty than Venezuelan-styled authoritarian populist regimes.
Let�s hope that Bachelet, who in recent times has placed greater emphasis on Chile�s shortcomings than on its achievements, doesn�t miss the big picture, and stays the course.

Moon Area board reconfigures elementary buildings, votes again to close school and explore merging with Cornell
The Moon Area School Board on Monday night repeated its action to close Hyde Elementary School and explore the possibility of a merger.
"I encourage you to fight on, fight on, fight on," school board member Michael Hauser said to upset parents.
During a contentious meeting at which parents yelled out their displeasure, the board voted 7-2 to approve an elementary grade reconfiguration that will put students in kindergarten through second grade at only Brooks and Bon Meade and those in third and fourth grade at McCormick and Allard after school renovation projects are finished.
"Enjoy your seats up there, because you're getting voted out next election," yelled Moon parent Melissa Biggerstaff.
The school board voted 8-1, with Hauser in the minority, to rescind a June 25 vote to close Hyde, renovate Brooks and Allard schools, and authorize Superintendent Curt Baker to explore the possibility of Moon Area merging with Cornell School District.
The board had approved those issues in one vote.
Baker said that it would take years to explore the matters related to merging districts, and the elementary building closing and renovations would have been completed.
So the items were voted on separately: the board voted 7-2, with Jerry Testa and Hauser against, to close Hyde and renovate Allard and Brooks by the 2015-16 school year, and 6-3, with Testa, President A. Michael Olszewski and Vice President Denny Harbaugh Jr. voting no, to authorize Baker to explore the district merger.
There is excess elementary classroom space because the transfer of fifth-graders to the middle school in 2012 left nearly two dozen empty classrooms, the district has said.
The needed school renovations have been discussed for years, board Secretary Gia Tatone said.
For months, some opponents have petitioned the board to maintain the five-school, kindergarten-to- fourth-grade elementary model to avoid what they say would result in longer bus rides for children, siblings going to different elementary schools, increased property taxes and reduced property values.
On Monday, attorney Jack Cambest said he had suspended a plan to seek an injunction in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court on behalf of Hauser and Testa and five Hyde parents who claimed the public had not been given an opportunity to comment on the motions before the vote in June.
At the June meeting, the board was expected to decide on a plan, which was on the meeting agenda, to close Brooks and spend $25 million to renovate Allard and expand Hyde, based on administrators' recommendation in March.
Cambest's group claimed the board violated the Sunshine Act because the closing of Hyde and Cornell merger were not on the meeting agenda.

There are many ways - keyloggers, guessing the password, watching you type.
It's not hard to figure out your password- if he has access to your computer! All he has to do is go into tools, options and look for it there..... it has all your saved passwords for anywhere you have one. Its in the 'security' tab of the options... nothing covert about it.... just change it and dont save it... also use a capital letter and a number set that he wouldn't think of normally as associated to anything you would-
hey-- I've hacked into your Facebook account.
If he has access to your computer he probably installed a keylogger.

Or else he guessed your password.
May be you use the same password for all the accounts or its something he knows about and was able to guess it. Change you password and select something that you normally wouldn't
You have a ****** password.

----

Maybe he installed a keylogger.

Or watched you type your password.

Or is psychic.

Re: 64GB, 128GB, 256GB cards, LiveArea Limits(Mai
n Post updated 7-27-12)
Now, I want to adress my second major issue, that has creeped up as more categories of games are accepted, especially to Playstation Plus owners.
I am sure that Sony went into the Playstation Vita thinking, "Hey, nobody in their right minds are going to buy 85 games for the Vita, there is no reason we cannot put a limit to the amount of apps on Livearea"
Fast forward to August, when Playstation One support hit the Vita, on top of Mini's and PSP games, the greater problem is NOT memory card capacity, but being able to put all of your apps on one memory card, WITHOUT using all of the space.
Here are my current 100 bubbles(Line break on each window):
Friends, Party, Group Messaging, near, Maps, PS Store, Trophies, Content Manager, Remote Play, Settings
Photos, Music, Videos, Browser, PSM Dev, Facebook, YouTube, foursquare, Skype, Email
Persona 4 Golden, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter X Tekken, Uncharted Golden Abyss, LittleBigPlanet, Gravity Rush, Disgaea 3, Ragnarok Odyssey, Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified, Playstation All-Stars
Metal Gear Solid HD, Assassin's Creed III Liberation, Silent Hill Book of Memories, Dynasty Warriors Next, UMVC3, Lumines Electronic Symphony, Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus, Wipeout 2048, Blazblue Ex, Reality Fighters
Spy Hunter, Unit 13, MLB 12 The Show, Dungeon Hunter Alliance, Shinobido 2, Resistance Burning Skies, Little Deviants, Rayman Origins, Hot Shots Golf, ModNation Racers
Tales of Innocence R(Japan Import), Plants vs Zombies, New Little King's Story, Pinball Arcade, Treasures of Montezuma Blitz, Super Stardust Delta, Retro City Rampage, ZEN Pinball 2, Uncharted Fight For Fortune, Foosball 2012
Hustle Kings, Pure Chess, Motorstorm RC, Mutant Blobs Attack, Stardrone Extreme, Jet Set Radio, Lemmings, Eliminage Original, Unchained Blades, Ragnarok Tactics
Final Fantasy 1/2, Final Fantasy 3, Final Fantasy IV The Complete Edition, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy Tactics, Dissidia Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger
Breath of Fire 4, Class of Heroes, Legend of Mana, Gladiator Begins, Cladun, Puzzle Quest, Smackdown vs Raw 2011, Call of Duty Roads to Victory, Activision Hits Remixed, Romance of the Three Kingdoms Wall of Fire
Missle Command, Sega Genesis Collection, Castlevania Symphony of The Night, Monopoly, Tetris, Jetpack Joyride, Treasure Park, Paint Park, Music Unlimited, Welcome Park
31 Physical Vita games
16 Digital PSVita Games
1 Playstation Mobile Game
15 System Apps you cannot remove or modify
9 Playstation System Apps you can modify
11 Playstation One Games(Due to LiveArea Limits)
12 PSP Games(Due to LiveArea Limits, gotta pick and choose)
2 Mini's(Drastically have to pick and choose)
622 Songs in my Music Player
2 Movies totaling 170MB
500 Photos and short videos
2514MB remaining
There are a half dozen games from other systems that take up about 1/4 of the memory card capacity, that is not the problem anymore.
I own 2 Playstation Vita's, a First Edition 3G Bundle, and the Assassin's Creed White Vita, all of this is on my 32GB card.
Because of LiveArea limits, I am wasting space on my memory card, unless I add videos or music to my card to fill it up. But what about when Killzone Mercenary, Soul Sacrifice, Warrior's Lair, or other quality physical games come out? I will GAIN space because I will be deleting larger files for said physical games specifically for the Vita.
There are three solutions to fix the LiveArea Limits
* A setting in Systems, to display Games in Music Player or XMB format, this would fix all issues with LiveArea limits at the expense of one application slot
* Adding Folders into the LiveArea(You need a memory card anyways, make it happen for an optional install)
* Increasing the LiveArea limit to something very difficult to obtain, 500(50 windows)
Now that I have your attention, issue 2, Memory Card swapping.
Currently, the way LiveArea handles memory card swapping:
System files, and physical games that are in the exact same spot on different memory cards, will retain their location
Every other application will be randomly placed on the memory card, eliminating any organizing you may of done.
Every other game will be randomly placed on the memory card, eliminating any organizing you may of done.
A firmware update would easily fix this, as it turns off people from purchasing multiple memory cards, generating Sony a nice chunk of profit since memory cards cost $2 to manufacture, and it would be much easier to keep memory cards for different items, especially since music play is not supported during anything but 90% of Vita games
For example, I would purchase 3 additional, 32GB cards if the livearea and memory card limits are fixed. I would specifically put PSP games on one card, Mini's and PSOne games on another card. Then I could put my Vita games and music on a card by itself, and use my Playstation Plus digital copies instead of physical, that way if I have a friend using my other Vita, we will be able to play the same game. The fourth memory card would be used for other people in order to play games online from my second vita.
So, Sony could make an additional $300 off me by adressing the memory card and LiveArea limits.

There are many advantages to larger cards. The biggest is the fact that Sony and the publisher receive 95% of the profits(I say 95% because there are some people with 2 Vita's, that can use said content twice) by being more download friendly.
The advantage to having a downloaded copy is that you do not have to switch cartridges. Many people support this format that the PSP started, especially with their loud UMD drive, it also saves wear and tear on your Blu-Ray drive.
In hindsight, in order to fill up a 64GB card, with the livearea limit, each of your games have to be at least 1GB big, and with physical cartridges, that is impossible since most games even with patches are less than 100MB.
Of course, one also has to think about both Videos and Music. I'm sure there are people that would foolish fill an entire 64GB card with music, porn if that is what their heart desires.
However, until Sony does something about the LiveArea limit, I will not be purchasing any Playstation Mobile Games.

So recently on the Playstation Blog, I mentioned such issues(As have others) in their Alarm Clock app post. They said they are working on a fix to the LiveArea, I'm sure the easiest fix is simply categorizing games or making an application for games specifically.
If they have a folder for Games, I hope that folder can be further broken down into the following categories:
Cross Platform/Cross Play Compatible games(Being able to auto start Remote Play on said games when the neccessary games are in one or more machines would be cool)
Playstation Mobile
Neo Geo
Sega Genesis
All A-Z
All Recently Played
If they move all GAMES into a folder, Apps shouldn't need this treatment for a very long time, if ever.
This would fix the LiveArea limits.
Now, if they could fix the code so "Recreating the Database" doesn't screw up with your bubble positioning, said fix should also fix this issue though and it wouldn't matter.
Also to those of you **bleep** about a Playstation Vita revamp: Let me tell you, STUPID! The way it is now, is very easy to navigate. You should be **bleep** about the new Playstation Store for PS3, and at least allowing the old version/fix Facebook posting.

Re: 64GB, 128GB, 256GB cards
Don't complain to sony complain to all the pireters who hacked there psp and download all the games for free!! that's why the vita has propritary incripted cards that coast more to make yes they could be a little lower in price but what can you do
Re: 64GB, 128GB, 256GB cards
I will never support pirates, but if expensive proprietery media is needed, that did not stop Sony designing the Vita to have larger memory cards.
I have deleleted nearly all of the free games, apps, music, videos and everything I do not play....I now have enough room for 2-3 more games and 15 more slots for card based games (presuming they don't need much memory). This I will do way before the end of this year. This leaves me with the following options:
1/ Use another memory card. This I find risky. The cards are small and very easy to drop and lose. The cards look delicate and not up to constant changing. The Vita does not seem to like changing memory cards and I have tried it and lost data. The icons move positions when changing cards. The card door does not seem designed for constant opening and closing.
2/ Change over media to a computer. This option is no longer an option for myself at this time as I do not have a compatible operating system on my computers. I do not have a PS3. buying either Windows or a PS3 would help, but would still not help with the slow backup times of changing media. A costly option.
3/ Buy another PS Vita and 32GB card. A bit annoying this one, as I could buy a many games for the price. Yes, I would then have a spare Vita for the Wife to try to beat me at some games, but again a costly option.
I am very surprised that Sony did not envisage these problems with them making all games avaliable via download. To blame pirates for the propriatory system is logical, but to blame them for Sony making a limit on memory size and bubble amount, does not add up.
These two problems can be changed by Sony. Sony give us more bubbles or folders and give us bigger memory cards. If you do not, I will probably go with option 4!! Yes....the mystery option...I can buy a 3DS and 128GB memory card for less than a Vita...then I have two fun systems.....but the bigger memory card and more games downloaded is way easier to keep the wife happy!

Start the Accounts
Byline: Larry Hunter and Peter Ferrara, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
For decades, the federal government has raided the Social Security trust fund to finance other government spending. Social Security's surplus is taken each year to finance all the other federal programs, from foreign aid to welfare.
It is time to stop this inexcusable raiding, and give the surplus instead to workers to start their own, individual, personal accounts.
Indeed, the new bill introduced this year by Rep. Paul Ryan, Wisconsin Republican, and Sen. John Sununu, New Hampshire Republican, phases in the accounts so over the first 10 years the account option is half its full size, allowing workers on average to shift about 3.2 percentage points of the full 12.4 percent payroll tax to the accounts. The total annual Social Security surpluses projected over the next 10 years, counting tax revenues and interest on the trust fund bonds, is enough to finance this Ryan-Sununu option during that period.
Congress should consequently stop the raid on the Social Security trust funds and use the money to finance the first 10 years of Ryan-Sununu. The surplus would then finance the future retirement benefits of today's workers rather than other government spending. This is the only way to enact a true lockbox where the government can't get its hands on the money to fuel further runaway spending on other programs.
To free the surpluses for the accounts, Congress must reduce its spending at least by the surplus of Social Security taxes over expenditures each year. That money belongs to the future retirement of working people and Congress shouldn't be spending it anyway.
The government pays the interest on the Social Security trust fund bonds by issuing new bonds to the trust funds each year. To the extent needed to finance the Ryan-Sununu accounts for the next 10 years, those bonds would be issued instead to the accounts of each worker across the country. Workers would be free to choose to sell those bonds and invest the money in broader mutual funds if they desire. These bonds, of course, would not be new debt but rather money the government already owes to the trust funds under the current system.
It would also be very desirable to phase in the Ryan-Sununu budget process reforms over the first 10 years as well, including a reduction in the rate of growth of federal spending by 1 percentage point a year for eight years. …

Narrated by Abu Said Al-Khudri
Apostle said, "A time will come that the best property of a Muslim will
be sheep which he will take on the top of mountains and the places of
rainfall (valleys) so as to flee with his religion from afflictions."
Narrated by 'Aisha
Whenever Allah's Apostle ordered the Muslims to do something, he used to order them deeds which were easy for them to do, (according to their strength endurance). They said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are not like you. Allah has forgiven your past and future sins." So Allah's Apostle became angry and it was apparent on his face. He said, "I am the most Allah fearing, and know Allah better than all of you do."

In back up to 189lbs again with a goal of 149! Time to get this weight shifted for good!
Hello and welcome. You've done well to lose so much weight already. How are you finding the diet? I'm on day 2 today x
I've done exante before and I know it works for me. Just gotta get these horrid 5 days out the way first. I only like the bars and shakes so have a bumper pack of them to keep me going!!
How's your first 2 days been? :-)
Welcome back Nat!
You know the drill - hope you lose quickly and get back to maintaining.
Hi Nat, I'm another re-starter! Lost all the weight the first time round a few years ago, then put it all back on (and more [sad]) - been back a week now and relieved it works!
Good luck with this week, always the worst bit!
Good luck with your restart. You know what your doing, that weight will be gone before you know it.
Thanks ladies! I know I can do it and know it works so just gotta stick with it now!
Day 2 and I'm feeling ok! The constant weeing has started already. Yay!!
Good luck to you all!! X
I've made it to day 3 with no hiccups! Had a banana shake today and 2 litres of water. Killer headache has set it but I'm embracing it as a sign ketosis is on the way. Luckily I have a day off today so can just relax and take it easy.
I'm supposed to be going out tonight, my boyfriends band is playing a show and it will be a late one but I don't think I can face it with a head like this. Hopefully he will understand.
He doesn't believe in diets and lives off pizza, burger and chips, and has gained about 2 stone since we got together. But he's not at all bothered by it and says ' I'll just buy bigger jeans'
I never want to buy bigger jeans ever ever again. I can't wait to fit back into all my size 10's!! :-D
Welcome back & good luck x
So day 4 complete total solution. I've felt ok today. I little more lethargic than usual and I didn't manage to drink all my water but I count it as a positive as I managed to resist my biggest temptation as the boyf had KFC as I nibbled my red berry bar. He doesn't help with this diet malarkey!
Well done on reaching day 4 and resisting temptation.
It sucks when we see others enjoying some of our favourite things but at the same time, we know we'll enjoy them even more when we've reached the weight we want to be - in moderation! Lol
Good luck for day 5 and hope you have a lovely Friday!
Day 5!! I've made it over the worst! I'm feeling good today. I'm working the next 5 days solid so good to keep me busy and away from the usual weekend temptations and indulgences! Plus the overtime money will buy me some lovely new dresses when I reach goal. Yay!! X
So here goes day 6 and my 12 hour shift at work. Feeling a bit hungry this morning but I'm hoping it's cos I haven't drunk much yet. Feeling fine otherwise. Can't wait to hop on those scales on Monday. In definitely feeling less bloated and like I've lost a few pounds!! Good motivation. :-)
So I've made it through day 7. Today has been the toughest mentally but I've been total solution for the whole week. Really looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow!!
Good luck for your weigh in tomorrow, I'm sure it'll be a good loss :-)

| "Over the years, Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus have got through a lot together. They've faced more than their share of serial killers and psychopaths. But this time two very different cases may cause them to re-evaluate everything they hold dear. One case involves Gabe, the troubled boy they've taken into their home. The other is much stranger - a man is found dead in his apartment, apparently mauled by his pet tiger. There is more to each case than anyone expects. But will Decker's family distractions finally prove too much? And when the truth comes out, will Rina and Peter's family survive?"-- Provided by publisher.

Dems Push for Same-Day Voting | 05/04/15
Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) want every state to offer same-day voter registration for federal elections.
The Democratic senators have reintroduced the Same Day Registration Act, which would require states to allow voters to register on the day of an election.
Ten states, plus the District of Columbia, currently allow eligible voters to do so, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. In addition, the group notes that Illinois is expected to implement statewide same-day voter registration later this year.
Advocates argue it can help increase voter turnout, while opponents say it increases the chances for voting fraud.
Klobuchar said the legislation would help "foster" the right to vote.
"The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy," she said in a statement. "We should be doing everything we can to foster this right."


text: The game is played by rolling dice and placing marbles in cups. The cups are in rows, 4 of the rows has 11 cups but the center row has 7 cups. The center row is stationary and the other 4 rows slide. Players try to get 5 cups in a row filled with their marbles. Marble placement is determined by roll of dice. The game is attractive as it is made from hardwood.

At regular price these are good gloves considering similar looking gloves at big box stores cost more. At sale price these gloves are a good value.I bought a pair to use while building a fairly large shed. I put them through a lot of use/abuse and the rubber coating wore off of the fingers within two weeks. Handling roof shingles tore open the finger tips fairly quickly but I still used the gloves as the overall grip was still better than bare hands. I finally retired the gloves and bought a second pair. I've been using this while cutting and splitting firewood, and for hauling rocks. Considering the roughness of this type of work the gloves have held up well, although after two weeks the rubber coating (fingers again) is wearing off.The gloves are fairly warm, which surprised me considering the mesh construction. I've seen other reviewers say the gloves are cool in warm weather but I experienced the opposite. On the other hand (ha ha sorry) the gloves provide moderate warmth if working in cooler weather under conditions requiring enhanced grip.Perhaps a longer lasting rubber coated mesh glove is available somewhere at higher cost, but I've only used these from HF. The only reason I would pay more for longer lasting is to reduce my contribution to the landfill.

Great Gloves
By Bob
from San Jose, CA
When my wife became ill I had to temporarily take over her hobby of gardening and quickly found that I am alergic to yard work. Pulling weeds gave me a nasty rash on my hands. Work gloves were an obvious failure. I happened to see these gloves when I was in the local HF store looking for something else. These gloves are very comfortable and the weed juice does not penetrate them. While I probably wouldn't use them for handling lumber, they are certainly the best thing I have seen for gardening.

Hawaii Could Lose Federal Education Dollars
The state of Hawaii is in danger of losing millions of dollars in Race to the Top funds due to its "unsatisfactory" performance.
Hawaii's public schools received a windfall last year when the state won a $75 million federal grant. The state was one of 12 winners in a high-profile competition called Race to the Top, the signature education initiative of the Obama administration.
Now, Hawaii could lose that money. The Department of Education is calling Hawaii's performance under the grant unsatisfactory. In a letter to Hawaii's governor, it said the state is now on high-risk status.
WERTHEIMER: This is a first for a winner of the Race to the Top program. In its proposal, Hawaii submitted a detailed plan to improve low-performing schools.
MONTAGNE: It also promised to launch a new teacher evaluation system tied to performance. Feds say the state is behind in implementing many aspects of the plan.

Last month I was asked if the museum experienced a spike in the number of "unusual" (read "weird") enquiries during a full moon. My initial reaction was to dismiss this theory as light-hearted superstition – then I stopped to think on it for a bit… and my subsequent reaction was to dismiss this theory as light-hearted superstition. However I also resolved to undertake a simple survey of the enquiries database to see what the cold hard stats had to say about it.
Close-up of Planet Earth with Moon in background.Source: NASA
The "lunar effect" phenomenon – the belief that the lunar cycle influences human behaviour – remains a significant feature of some human cultures, present as far back as the Ancient Greeks and Romans, and even earlier, through to modern adherents to the Wiccan tradition, or Neo-Paganism more broadly.
It has long been suspected that the moon and its phases have an effect on mental health – indeed the term "lunatic" is derived from the Latin lunaticus, "of the moon." Lunar effect mythologies include, for example, lycanthropy (werewolves), increased fertility and birth rate, and weather events and natural disasters, among others.
So what of the lunar effect on museum enquiries?
On each of the four full moons so far this year Discovery Centres took an average of 22 new enquiries for the day, of which one, or two at the very most, might be broadly categorized as unusual. On the full moon of January 16, we received a comment about one passenger's recollection of a man-overboard incident that occurred during his migration to Australia on board the Johan Van Oldenbarnevelt, and a question about the significance of the role of thongs (what???) in nineteenth-century Victorian construction. Meanwhile, during the full moon of March 17 we were contacted for advice by the concerned owner of a French bulldog who had been the unfortunate victim of a scorpion attack in the bad 'burbs of Adelaide. Outside of these, the rest of the enquiries were pretty standard fare: image requests, spider identifications, tractor donations, etc…
On the full moon of February 15, however, we did receive three [spam] emails in a row offering heavily discounted supplies of Viagra – suggests there may be some truth to the fertility claims?
There has been a lot of media attention about tonight's supermoon, but what's the real story?
The supermoon is really called a perigee moon. It's when the full moon occurs at perigee and the Moon is closest to us, on its orbit around the Earth.
When the full moon occurs at perigee it is about 50,000km closer to us than an apogee moon. Source: NASA
Ten years ago, NASA wrote one of the first blogs on the perigee moon, with the headline "But will anyone notice?" Two years ago, in 2011, the perigee moon was at its closest in almost 20 years. That's a pretty neat fact and NASA called it the super perigee Moon.
Well, since then it has taken off and now every perigee moon is earning the title of supermoon.
A full moon at perigee can be 14% bigger than a full moon at apogee, but it's only easy to see the difference when the moons are side-by-side.Source: NASA
The statistics sound amazing, over 10% bigger, almost 30% brighter, but that's in comparison to an apogee moon, which occurs when the full moon is furthest away from Earth. In truth, it's not really enough to notice. Especially when you consider that most full moons across the year occur somewhere between these two extremes.
So by all means, go out and marvel at the magnificent full moon as it rises tonight at sunset and have a think about our place in the Universe – now that's what I call super!

This stuff is great. I had to buy this online because I wouldn't want to go through a checkout with nipple cream. That aside, there's no offensive smell and 10 hours after applying this to my lips it's still on. It's a little thick coming out of the tube but warms up quickly. I haven't tried it on my cuticles yet, but will shortly. It seems a lot more moisturizing than vaseline, which is what I usually put on my lips at night. The only thing that would improve it, is if it also came in small gloss-type squeeze tubes. I can't see carrying around a 2oz tube of nipple cream with me during the day.

I bought the CVS brand of this and I love it! A little goes a very long way and it's so moisturizing and it has a lovely scent. Thank you MUA! So many uses-lip balm, cuticle cream, spot treatment for anything.

Wow. How did I live without this for so long? I've ALWAYS struggled with dry, flaky, chapped looking lips. So, I read about this stuff on MUA and decided that I'd find some. So I bought some Friday and used it through the weekend. Here it is Tuesday and I have luscious, soft lips, capable of looking smooth regardless what lipstick I'm using. This is HG for me now. No going back. I'm also starting to use it on my rough and ragged cuticles...hopefully with as good results!

WOW! This is now my HG for lip care, cuticle care and for my husband's and son's cracked heels. It has impressed me so much after just one use, I mean really it's unreal how much of a difference this product makes in your skin. I use a wheelchair and had this place on my hand on the thumb muscle area where it was tearing and chapped and one use of Lansinoh Lanolin has totally sealed those tears and repaired the chapped skin, it was like magic!
If you have some dry and damaged skin, this just might be what you need to repair and restore that skin. It's great for cuticles and the dry skin on the edge of the fingertips near the nails and awesome for the cuticles, they seemed to drink it up. I figure I will use it daily for a few days then drop down to a couple times a week and be just fine. It's at Walmart in the Nursing supplies are by the baby stuff and for just under $9 it's a steal! CVS carries too, and I definitely will be keeping this on hand from now on to treat our damaged dry skin.

must have product if you have skin so dry it cracks. I also use it on my face around my eyes because it looks horrible when your eyelids are so dry they crack and this helps. Hasn't given me any spots.
It's also a lovely lipbalm

I, too first purchased this for breastfeeding, almost 9 years ago. This stuff works great for abrasions, chapped lips (tastes a bit weird) but it works. I also use this for when my daughter gets a little itchy or has some burning going on in the girly area (usually from an accidental scratch or rough wiping). I'm sure it's not indicated for that, but whatever works as other usual creams, such a vagisil, usually burn.
Love this product!!!

I had no idea so many other people use this! I bought it for breastfeeding and then realized that I could also use this on my hands and cuticles as well as my feet.
Just be careful around your face. It could make you break out.
From Lassinoh's Website:
"The term lanolin comes from the Latin lana for wool and oleum for oil, although chemically it is a wax rather than oil. The lanolin is a secretion from the sebaceous glands of sheep, which is deposited onto the wool fiber and is nature's way of protecting the fleece from the harmful elements of the weather. It is an organic ester and as such is similar to the oil our own skin produces (sebum). This is the reason it is so beneficial when applied to the skin."

This product has single-handedly fixed my excessively dry cuticles. No matter what season it is, my cuticles are sore, red and torn despite using ointments, lotions and oils several times a day.I use it at night before bed. Yes, it leaves my hands feeling greasy, but eventually it sinks in.I noticed a difference after three nights. Two weeks later and my once ragged cuticles are non-existent. The skin around my nails is softer, smoother and healthier looking. And no longer red. This must be what it's like to have healthy cuticles.

Like most of the reviews below, I am reviewing Lansinoh for uses other than that for which it was intended. My review primarily focuses on cuticle repair, with a side of lips.
I have fought my crazy, dry, overgrown, unruly cuticles all my life. I have nipped. Oiled. Creamed. Sought professional help. I have run the gauntlet of price points in cuticle products. There is virtually nothing out there that I have not tried.
Then Lansinoh entered the picture.
I stumbled across this set of reviews here on MUA, and just had to try it. Let me tell you, I am so glad I did!
After just one overnight use--just one--I experienced a 90% improvement in the condition of my cuticles. After 1.5 weeks of use, approximately 2x/day including overnight, 100% improvement. The hardened skin on the sides of the nails is soft and flexible. The cuticles no longer break apart when I push them back with a washcloth. All the hard white skin I used to fight at the eponychium is gone. The skin doesn't *feel* dry any more. My cuticles are as soft as my 7-year-old son's. Even the nails, where they have grown out, are less ridged and more moisturized.
As for the lips, I apply Lansinoh to them about as often as I do my cuticles--a little goes a long way, so it's convenient to do both at one time--and my lips, which are usually cracked and flaky, are smooth and picture-perfect.
I will never bother with another balm or cuticle-moisturizing product again. I am free of the constant questing for the perfect product. I have found it.
How I apply: I squeeze a little out of the tube, less than a pea size; it's not the easiest thing in the world to do, but it's not nearly the most difficult either. I swipe a small amount into each cuticle and rub the rest into my lips, then massage the cuticles and nails for a minute or so.
To begin with, it feels sticky. It will absorb fully into the skin in a few minutes. Be patient. There is no smell to speak of, nor is there much color to worry about.
I promise you, you will not be sorry you tried it.
Lastly, I especially want you to read this excerpt from the packaging insert:
"[Lansinoh HPA Lanolin] is medical grade, bacteriostatic, and completely hypoallergenic, so you can use [it] even if you're allergic to lanolin or wool. Our unique refining process ensures that it is noticeably different from any other lanolin in terms of color, odor, and consistency...The safety and purity of [Lanisoh] is not available in any other lanolin product."
I post this from the package insert so readers will understand that this stuff is the real deal, and that this review does not speak to other products that contain lanolin. It is not going to be like the stuff you've used in the past that "contained" lanolin, or was "pure" lanolin but smelled like Old McDonald's farm (because it was not purified the way Lansinoh is), or even some kind of esoteric sheep-rubbing ritual in which you may have participated.
I am reviewing Lansinoh 100% pure HPA lanolin, and nothing else--because there is nothing else like Lansinoh. Please, for the love of all that is good and wonderful, buy a tube already and get yourself off the cuticle butter/lip balm train.
