It's time again for Rockford notables to shake their tailfeathers, this year on Nov. 17, and I have fond memories of the event.
The fifth annual Dancing with the Rockford Stars will be at 6:30 p.m. at Cliffbreakers Riverside Resort, 700 W. Riverside Blvd., Rockford.
This year's celebrities are Jennifer Anderson; Gina Caruana; Dana and Rebecca Epperson; Charlie and Mary Jo Hare; Tom McNamara and Mary McNamara-Bernsten; Terri Odell; and Johannes Picard. Tickets for the event are $55 per person or $500 for a table of 10, available online or by calling 815-962-5585.
To buy tickets or to vote for a favorite dancer, visit dancewithrockfordstars.com.
I'll be a judge again this year. The first year of the event, I danced. I won the People's Choice Award by receiving the most votes by dollar contributions at the event. I was the comedy act, with a number choreographed to a polka, the Hokey Pokey and the Chicken Dance. I wore a long-sleeved, 1980s-style, white wedding dress I rented from Starlight Theatre. Nicole Kilmer, a WTVO news anchor at the time, won Judges Choice that year and the next, wearing scintillating outfits and performing the kinds of dances you see on "Dancing with the Stars" on TV.
Competitors spend weeks rehearsing with Arthur Murray dance instructors. The event benefits Rockford-based Family Counseling Services.

Have you ever heard lately the news about the new Google panda update that will launch this coming few months? It is the softer version of Panda update that will favor the small businesses to rank better in search engine rankings.
This is the first time I heard this, but if it is true, it's about time that Google goes back to a more level playing field. Their Panda updates destroyed the traffic for millions of small businesses in favor of the large big-name brands. Do a search for almost any consumer product and you will find the first page of results dominated by Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.
They are not going to favor small businesses because they are networking with the big guys for some times openly and behind the closed doors.
In my opinion, they are just giving an illusion of smoke and mirror that they care about small owners, but in fact they won't, big money is what they are after and they understand only this like any dead cold multi national corporations.
Google Will Release Another Softer Panda Update To Help Small Businesses
Cheers :angel:

Just to remember the whole thing about panda and its timeline: Google Panda Update Tips and Timeline [Infographic] | Search Engine Journal
The name alone should of told/warned people.
So we are going to have a softer panda that will still be spraying urine and attacking humans. Even the male leaves the female alone to raise the cub.Quote:
In the wild, the giant panda is a terrestrial animal and primarily spends its life roaming and feeding in the bamboo forests of the Qinling Mountains and in the hilly Sichuan Province.[24] Giant pandas are generally solitary,[25] and each adult has a defined territory, and a female is not tolerant of other females in her range. Pandas communicate through vocalization and scent marking such as clawing trees or spraying urine.[8] They are able to climb and take shelter in hollow trees or rock crevices, but do not establish permanent dens. For this reason, pandas do not hibernate, which is similar to other subtropical mammals, and will instead move to elevations with warmer temperatures.[26] Pandas rely primarily on spatial memory rather than visual memory.[27]
Social encounters occur primarily during the brief breeding season in which pandas in proximity to one another will gather.[28] After mating, the male leaves the female alone to raise the cub.[29]
Though the panda is often assumed to be docile, it has been known to attack humans, presumably out of irritation rather than aggression. from wiki
Right good job google. :rofl:

The African Kite Race Championship 2014 began its fifth and final day with one last twist: with a significant drop in wind, the kiters seized their last opportunity to defeat their top rivals with a new challenge.
African Kite Racing Championships
It had been a tough four days between German world champion Florian Gruber and his rival Riccardo Leccese. Leccese's determination to take the title from Florian Gruber was his drive in this competition and on Day five he achieved his goal.
Riccardo Leccese / Italy: 'We just finished the African Championships and I am stoked I won the event, I can't be more happy than I am right now. This event was very important for me and for my sponsors because it was the first event of the year where we are using the new gear. Soma Bay gave us the best conditions because we went through all the sizes and all the situations, like pretty strong and gusty winds and on the last day on the finals, we got pretty light wind, so we went through all the sizes and everybody had the chance to ride in their conditions and I managed to keep my head clear, the excitement down and I am pretty stoke that my scores were almost pretty clean all the way, 11 bullets, and then I was consistently second and now I am happy that I got the title and hopefully good things are coming from now.'
African Kite Racing Championships
Florian Gruber / Germany: 'Today was the last day, and it was going great for me. I won the first race and in the second race I came fourth, my final result is runner-up, I am super happy with that, now we are going to the award ceremony and straight afterwards I will start training for the next races. I had a great time here.'
In the women's division, Steph Bridge found herself thriving in the light wind conditions of Day five and overtook Elena Kalinina in both medal races. Overall, the week's challenges and conditions proved to be in Kalinina's favor and she defeated seasoned pro Steph Bridge placing first.
African Kite Racing Championships
Elena Kalinina / Russia: 'The African Championships are finished now, it was a really good competition, we had a lot of good races. I was racing with Steph Bridge and Aga from Poland and we were always fighting but finally I won, I am very happy about this and I wish that next year we will have this competition in the same place here.'
Steph Bridge / UK: 'After five days of racing we finished today with two medal races. The girls were in the platinum fleet. I was really happy because the wind was about seven knots. I was on a tube kite and won the first race and I got second in the second medal race. That brought me closer to Elena but it wasn't enough to beat her so I'm overall second with Aga in third. To be honest it's been the most fantastic event because we've had a mixture of wind and light wind so it's been really good training for the world championship.'
Oliver Bridge, who came in 23rd in 2013, made an amazing comeback in 2014 and held a steady third place for a majority of the week. However, the light winds did not favor Bridge on the final day. Spain's Alejandro Climent Hernandez had been close on Bridge's tail and finally overtook him and landed himself in the third rank overall.
Alejandro Climent Hernandez / Spain: 'I am fifth in the world ranking, I worked really hard towards this event, I finished third in the African Kite Championships and I am very happy about that because in the first days I did not feel so well and came on the fifth or sixth position and then I did all my best to take the podium.'
Oliver Bridge / UK: Today we had some light winds so we were using big kites. I had some OK results, I got one fifth place and one seventh place. It wasn't too good for my ranking, I dropped down on to fourth in the overall ranking, I was not really able to keep up with the guys on the big foil kites so I got pushed down to the fourth place.'
It has been an exciting week in Soma Bay as The Breakers Diving and Surfing Lodge, 7Bft Kite House, the IKA and the Egyptian Sailing and Water Ski Federation came together to take advantage of the incomparable kiting conditions of Egypt and the world-renowned skill of some of the world's top kiters to create an amazing week of heavy competition and pave the way to the World Cup final.
African Kite Racing Championships
Markus Schwendtner / IKA: 'It's the second time we are in Soma Bay for the African Championships. It has been a fantastic event. Four days full of wind, the last day was unfortunately a little bit light but it was good racing: the top riders in the world are here. Everyone was very excited and everyone wants to come back. This year we have a very nice event together with the Egyptian Sailing and Water Ski Federation and again we had great support from Soma Bay. Logistics, boats, everything worked out well.'
Stefan Reichl / GM The Breakers Diving and Surfing Lodge: 'Five days of racing are now over and we consider this as a really successful week for the racers, for Soma Bay and for sure Egypt. There was a lot of wind and it was a lot of fun and I think this is the most important part for all. I want to say thank you to the Egyptian Sailing Federation(ESWF), Tourism Ministry, Ministry of Youth and Sports, and for sure to 7Bft Kite House and The Breakers for hosting the event and to all the riders. We will have tonight the prize ceremony and we are looking forward, with the band and the DJ, to have a nice evening together.'
Ahmed Abbas / Head Kiteboarding Committee – ESWF: 'Big success for the Event, everything was going technically perfect with the competition, thanks to all riders who came from allover the world, thanks to Jury and Race Committee who came for this event, thanks to the IKA's always support, thanks to Somabay Team - wonderful job, and Finaly thanks to the president of the Egyption Sailing And Water Ski Federation Mr/ Medhat Khalil for his always support to grow up Kiteboarding Sport in Egypt.'

New hours for Payne Park playground
Published: Sunday, June 8, 2014 at 6:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 8, 2014 at 6:13 p.m.
SARASOTA - The children's playground at Payne Park will open later and close earlier under an ordinance advanced this week by the City Commission.
The change of hours is meant to help the city stop vandalism at the playground, which is designed for children up to age 12. Todd Kucharski, general manager of public works for Sarasota, said it appears that at night the playground has attracted teenagers and other older visitors, some of whom may be responsible for the damage.
The playground has recently been marred by broken equipment, graffiti, and "fecal matter," Kucharski said.
The park rules state that all children in the playground should be accompanied by an adult. The playground's hours presently run from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., and would be 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. under the ordinance.
Limiting the nighttime hours is meant to help city staff and police keep vandals out of the playground. The ordinance will be read and voted on a second time by the City Commission before taking effect.

Apocalypse Now
In the tradition of such obsessively driven directors as Erich von Stroheim and Werner Herzog, Francis Ford Coppola approached the production of Apocalypse Now as if it were his own epic mission into the heart of darkness. On location in the storm-ravaged Philippines, he quite literally went mad as the project threatened to devour him in a vortex of creative despair, but from this insanity came one of the greatest films ever made. It began as a John Milius screenplay, transposing Joseph Conrad's classic story "Heart of Darkness" into the horrors of the Vietnam War, following a battle-weary Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) on a secret upriver mission to find and execute the renegade Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who has reverted to a state of murderous and mystical insanity. The journey is fraught with danger involving wartime action on epic and intimate scales. One measure of the film's awesome visceral impact is the number of sequences, images, and lines of dialogue that have literally burned themselves into our cinematic consciousness, from the Wagnerian strike of helicopter gunships on a Vietnamese village to the brutal murder of stowaways on a peasant sampan and the unflinching fearlessness of the surfing warrior Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), who speaks lovingly of "the smell of napalm in the morning." Like Herzog's Aguirre: The Wrath of God, this film is the product of genius cast into a pit of hell and emerging, phoenix-like, in triumph. Coppola's obsession (effectively detailed in the riveting documentary Hearts of Darkness, directed by Coppola's wife, Eleanor) informs every scene and every frame, and the result is a film for the ages. --Jeff Shannon
Apocalypse Now Redux
Digitally remastered with 49 minutes of previously unseen footage, Apocalypse Now Redux is the reference standard of Francis Coppola's 1979 epic. A metaphorical hallucination of the Vietnam War, the film was reconstructed by Coppola and editor Walter Murch to enrich themes and clarify the ending. On that basis Redux is a qualified success, more coherent than the original while inviting the same accusations of directorial excess. The restored "French plantation" sequence adds ghostly resonance to the war's absurdity, and Willard's theft of Colonel Kurtz's beloved surfboard adds welcomed humor to the film's nightmarish upriver journey. An encounter with Playboy Playmates seems superfluous compared to the enhanced interplay between Willard and his ill-fated boat crew, but compensation arrives in the hellish Kurtz compound, where Willard's mission--and the performances of Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando--reach even greater heights of insanity, thus validating Redux as the rightful heir to Coppola's triumphantly rampant ambition. --Jeff Shannon

BTW, in my HOME studio, I have about 5 door hinges on the ceiling. The free end of the hinge has a zip-strip looped through the screw holes. This allows me to add come clamps and clip my muslins to the ceiling. For roll paper, I shove a dowel rod through the loops and attach the clamps at the end of the dowel rod to keep the rod from sliding out of the zip-strips.
For my lighting, I keep my stands for location shoots, I use angle iron pieces (the nice white painted ones about 1.5 feet long x 9" long. I screw it to the wall, just as if I was going to put a shelf on it, then on the free end, I attach a 1/4-20 nipple with a hex screw (or the kind for stroboframe brackets) and drop my Norman heads on it (with huge Chimera & Photoflex softboxes on it). Holds for great lighting angles, no stands to take up space, and no lights to be tripped over.
I always get asked "why are there hinges on the ceiling" by friends when they come over. Of course, when I get shooting, they understand.

Sony's new NEX-3 and NEX-5 cameras may have a few limitations when it comes to their UI, but it looks like they won't be hurting for lens options -- Japan's Rayqual has announced that it'll be offering a series of lens adapters for the cameras starting next month. Those will let you attach any number of Leica, Nikon or Canon lenses to the compact shooter, although you'll expectedly have to make do without autofocus if you decide to venture beyond Sony's own lenses for the cameras. They also won't come cheap, with the adapters set to run ¥19,950 to ¥25,200, or roughly $220 to $275 -- although that could be a small price to pay if you've already invested in some serious glass.

Lesnar beating Rollins
According to the sports books, Brock Lesnar is the favorite to beat Seth Rollins at Battleground. While that may be enough to get the internet wrestling community into a frenzy, a deeper look reveals that they are not as certain as they have been in the past. Lesnar could end up winning the match but not capturing the WWE championship.
July 18, 2015
Wrestemania betting odds
Last minute changes have been made by the sports book. Brock Lesnar is now favored to retain the heavyweight championship against Roman Reigns, and the reason for that is because he signed a new contract with WWE. Triple H is now favored to defeat Sting in his Wrestlemania debut match. No word on why those particular odds did a complete shift, but the theory floating around is that it is because so many were betting on the WCW legend.
March 29, 2015
Roman Reigns winning
Despite the new contract signed by Brock Lesnar, the sports books are still listing Roman Reigns as the favorite to win the main event of Wrestlemania. Their belief is that WWE has already pulled the trigger on his superstar push, so they are just going to go through with it. The front office can always put the heavyweight championship belt back around the waist of Lesnar at a later date. Reigns is a -210 odd, while Lesnar is +160.
March 29, 2015
Lashley supports Punk
At one point in time, Bobby Lashley was hoping to follow Brock Lesnar and become the next WWE performer to make the jump over to UFC. That has yet to happen and appears very unlikely right now. Of course, that does not mean that he is bitter towards others who are attempting to make the move. During a recent Give Me Sports interview, Lashley expressed his support towards CM Punk. He also thinks that he will do rather well in MMA.

GOP lawmakers say witness forfeited her right to invoke Fifth Amendment
A Republican-led House committee Friday increased pressure on Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner to break her silence on who in the tax agency was behind decisions to make it more difficult for tea party and other conservative groups to obtain tax-exempt status.
The Oversight and Government Reform Committee, in a 22-17 party line vote, ruled that Lerner, who headed the division that oversaw nonprofits, had forfeited her right to invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions when she appeared before the panel on May 22.
The GOP-written resolution said Lerner gave up her right to silence when she opened the hearing with a statement denying that she had done anything wrong.
"A witness may not testify voluntarily about a subject and then invoke the privilege against self-incrimination when questioned about the details," it said.
Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Vista, said that after consulting with House lawyers he was certain that Lerner had waived her Fifth Amendment rights. Witnesses, he said, cannot "give one side of the story and not allow themselves to be cross-examined."
Some Republicans who have aggressively pursued the investigation against IRS harassment of conservative groups saw Lerner's refusal to talk as more than just a legal issue. "Lois Lerner is in fact a poster child for a federal bureaucrat thumbing her nose at Congress," said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla. He said the case was a "showdown" over who is in control of government.
Neither Lerner nor her lawyer were present at Friday's vote and Democrats on the committee said Republicans should have allowed testimony from legal experts on Fifth Amendment protections for people testifying before Congress.
"I want to hear Ms. Lerner's testimony," said Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, top Democrat on the committee. "But we must respect the constitutional rights of every witness who comes before the committee."
Lerner's attorney, William W. Taylor, responded to the vote with a statement that "a party-line vote does not affect anyone's constitutional rights, and this one does not affect Ms. Lerner's." He said Lerner "had requested that she not be required to appear at all, and was forced against her will to invoke her rights in public. When she was forced to do that, she was entitled to say what she said."
The vote opens up the possibility that Lerner will be summoned back to the committee for another round of questioning. Issa dodged a Democratic question about whether Lerner might be offered limited immunity in exchange for her testimony. If she again invokes the Fifth, she could face contempt charges.
Under the rules, any immunity deal with Lerner would have to be approved by a two-thirds vote of the oversight committee, and then accepted by the Justice Department and a federal judge.
The committee and the full House would have to approve contempt charges, which would then be turned over to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Whether that attorney would be required to prosecute is unclear.
Lerner, now on administrative leave, was a high-ranking IRS official in Washington who oversaw the agency's Cincinnati workers who screened applications for tax-exempt status. The IRS has apologized for imposing tough scrutiny on conservative groups that applied for that designation. It has since emerged that progressive groups also appeared on agency screening lists and that some suffered similar treatment.

NASCAR drivers Ricky Stenhouse Jr., left, and Greg Biffle speak to the media Tuesday, July 22, 2014, in Brooklyn, Mich.
- Filed Under
Greg Biffle believes that the RTA will be good for stock car racing down the road.
That's the Race Team Alliance, a newly formed entity of nine NASCAR Sprint Cup teams that describes itself as "a collaborative business association" with a goal to find more creative ways to market and improve the teams and drivers in the sport.
During a test session at Michigan International Speedway with fellow Roush Fenway Racing drivers Carl Edwards and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on Tuesday, Cup veteran Biffle said he supported the RTA, whose elected chair is Michael Waltrip Racing co-owner Rob Kauffman and whose ...

Mommy guilt and fears
Worrying about our kids comes with being a mom. Even our cave-dwelling sisters probably didn't get a pass on this one. But a whopping 81 percent of you say the fear is worse for moms today.
"We have to worry about so many more hazards," said one mom. "Just sending the kids outside to play or over to a friend's is no longer an option. We have to be hyper vigilant – and that's exhausting."
"Being a mom is the joy of my life, but there's too much to worry about," said another.
In fact, 36 percent of you said the glut of information on dangers facing our kids – from toys that contain lead to toxic baby bottles – is the worst thing about being a mom today. What do you worry about?
"Moms these days deal with loads of 'mom guilt' because of the things we're all expected to have or give our children," one mom said. "That includes material things but also nonmaterial things like the best education, the best social life, the best travel and cultural experiences."
Where does all this pressure to be perfect come from? Many of you point the finger at other moms, while others name society in general.
"I feel like mothers are a magnet for criticism," says one. "The hardest thing about being a mom today is the competition from other moms," says another.
Others blame celebrity-mom worship for setting us up with unrealistic standards for what motherhood should look like.
"The average mom doesn't have the dough to put down for a huge, fancy nursery and all of the extra gadgets that make life a little more convenient," said one mom.
"I'd like to see more 'everyday women' featured in our headlines for the extraordinary things they've done with limited means," she continued. "That matters more to me than a celebrity's new baby line."

Synth strings at 1:30 are just too loud, they're messing with the melody (which is good).
The melody line that starts at 0:43 is really wonderful. The rest of the song is kinda messy. Still I really like that melody, you should expand on it. Also I like the ending with the added reverb, that was a nice idea.
Melodies in Major are so foreign for me XD
the reverb ending is a super spacey piano synth I made. I'm glad you thought it was a nice idea.

Isn't it about time for another round of donations? Maybe you should set up a general schedule for the donations. I see no reason you should have to pay out of your own pocket for this forum. If you could figure out how many people would be willing to donate and then divide that by the cost of the server, we could all donate that every month.
Just an idea.

Golden Globes Afterparty: Nina Dobrev
Like us on Facebook
The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev took the fit-and-flare trend for a whirl at tonight's InStyle afterparty festivities. The actress exuded retro glamour in a turquoise Oscar de la Renta midlength dress but countered the girlie vibe with more modern add-ons, like her silver metallic belt and coordinating Jimmy Choo platforms. We love that she juxtaposed the girlie-feeling dress with sleek silver accents — a cool touch of the trends on an otherwise totally sweet party style. So, do you love it?

Postpartum Hives are More Common than I ThoughtPregnancy |
I talked in a recent post about postpartum changes that I had developed allergies and am regularly breaking out in hives; but it wasn't until after reading a comment posted regarding my hives that it made me wonder if I was actually experiencing postpartum hives, and not hives because of a newly developed allergy.

This summer, the dangers of getting overheated during pregnancy have definitely been on my mind.

Once I got well into the second trimester I started getting cervix pain during pregnancy.

Ever heard of SPD, or Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction? Neither had I until my first pregnancy. It's a condition that causes extreme pain in the hips, back, groin and legs of pregnant women.

I've always been fascinated by the idea of early gender prediction. Maybe it's because I get so caught up in the excitement of pregnancy and 20 weeks seems so long to wait to find out baby's gender.

* Prices may differ from that shown
This is shower gel that is made by the same company who make Pears soap. I have used the soap and the hand wash but I had not saw the shower gel and didn't know about it until I read a review about it.
I like the packaging very much because I like it when I can hang shower gel up and not very many bottles have a hook now and that is a pity because it is alot easier to hang shower gel than keep putting it down on a shelf. The bottle has got a design that matches the hand wash and it is oval like the soap and see through so you can see the shower gel inside. It is easy to get the shower gel out even when you do not have very much left in the bottle.
I do not think it smells very much like Pears soap and that is a pity because I like the smell of the soap very much. It does not give me very many bubbles and I have to use alot of shower gel to make enough bubbles so that I feel clean.
I do feel clean after I have had a shower with this shower gel but I think it makes my skin a little bit dry and I have to use body cream after it always. I do not care about that if I have got a shower gel that is very special but this one is not and I think it is not worth having to spend extra time in applying body cream because I have got other cheap shower gels that do not have a drying affect.
My husband does not like it also and he has said that it spoils Pears soap to make this shower gel because even though the bottle looks like Pears the shower gel is not like it at all.
This shower gel costs about £1.99 and that is cheap but I think it is boring shower gel and I would not pay that amount for it again.
3 Dooyoo Hearts.
I was in Boots a couple of weeks ago and needed to get my spend up to £25 so I could take advantage of a voucher I'd been sent to receive extra Advantage Card points, I needed to spend another £1.98 but wasn't very inspired with what was on offer for such a small amount of money so decided to buy a 'new' shower gel to try and picked up this Pears one as soon as I saw it - costing £2 it brought me up to my minimum spend and the product reminded me of the Pears soap I used to love, I just had to buy it.
The shower gel is supplied in an oval bottle which features a hanging hook at the top, I don't have anywhere to hang anything in the shower so was glad to see the bottle has a wide lid on the base so I could stand it up in the little storage unit we have. I love the bottle actually, it reminds me so much of Pears soap in the shape and design (not to mention the actual shower gel is the same gorgeous amber colour as the soap).
The first disappointment is the smell, there's a vague sensation of the wonderfully comforting Pears fragrance but it really is only a sensation and if I hadn't know what the shower gel was based on I certainly wouldn't have guessed Pears soap based on the smell alone! Not that that matters anyway, the fragrance has gone as soon as you've towel dried yourself off and all that's left then is clean skin that feels reasonably well moisturised.
This *IS* a nicely cleansing shower gel, I'll give it that - the bubbles produced aren't the most luxurious I've ever come across but they're not bad for a £2 shower gel and feel soft and generically 'nice' on my skin as I shower. The moisturising effect is good only compared to other shower gels in this price range, when I think of the more premium shower products I use there really is no comparison in how they make my skin feel during my shower - and afterwards actually as the Pears shower gel is instantly forgettable really whereas a 'good' shower gel has you remembering your shower for hours after.
A very disappointing take on one of my favourite childhood products.
Have been a fan of Pears soap for many years but not of the shower gel which I discovered only a few months ago. I do love the Pears soap shaped bottle, but by the time it gets to about a quarter full the gel has become so watered down for some reason that it can no longer be called gel. Have tried two bottles and had the same result. Won't be trying it again.
I have recently been stocking up on some new toiletries as I have been very unwell with a bowel problem and on top of that two found lumps in both breasts and are having a mammogram to check if the lumps are cancerous. So I bought this along with other toiletries planning ahead if I have to go into hospital.
The packaging~
Comes in a clear plastic bottle with a handle to hang in the shower.
The Pears logo is clearly shown in black letters.
This is a soap free shower gel and is mild an gentle for the most sensitive skins.
The bottle contains 250 ml of gel.This gel is ph balanced and contains mild cleansers to keep skin healthy. The gel is a golden colour, an is suitable for the whole family to use.
I have only seen the shower gel version over the past couple of years. I love pears, my Mum used to use the pears soap on me when I was baby and throughout my childhood years. It has a very light smell of fruit to it and is very kind to my very dry skin that I have on my feet.
I simply put a small blob on a flannel and wash all over my body with it. I even use it to shave my legs and under arms with and find it very mild and gentle indeed.
I have noticed that a little goes a very long way. Once i have used it to shower I smell feel refreshed an my skin feels clean and cleansed.
Available in all good chemists and super markets for around 1.50.
Also posted on ciao under this user name.
As I am sure you are aware, I love beautiful toiletries and a product that takes me back to my childhood is Pears, which is manufactured by Unilever. I can vividly remember my Mum regularly placing a beautiful oval shaped soap on the side of the bath and I always considered the product to be extremely luxurious, so bath time was somewhat of a treat. It was around 10 months ago whilst browsing the shelves of Tesco for Christmas toiletries for family and friends that I stumbled across Pears Shower Gel and this review discusses my experience with using it.
As Dooyoo's image above shows, its' unique appearance is extremely eye-catching and looks identical to that of an enlarged bar of soap with a hook on the upper section for you to hang your bottle whilst in the shower. We are provided with 250 ml of shower gel, which is presented to us in a sturdy transparent plastic container so we are able to witness the deep burnt orange coloured contents. A huge bonus is that the bottle firmly sits on its' fairly large black lid, which is quite a feature of the packaging. In the centre of the bottle is the familiar Pears logo and it appears again on the underside of the lid.
The only downside with the clear packaging is that it proves extremely difficult to read the information contained on the reverse, which as well as being printed in the smallest of text, blurs against the writing on the front of the bottle. Consequently, the only way to partly overcome this problem is to hold it up to the light. The beauty of this shower gel is that as well as being pH balanced it is 100% soap free; something I was not aware of until a few weeks after my initial purchase. We are advised that the gel is hypo-allergenic and some text I'd never read before is that we are informed it is non-comedogenic, which means that it will not clog the pores.
The first point I noticed is that the flip top lid is extremely sturdy and has been manufactured from a fairly thick plastic, so you have the assurance that it will not detach itself after only a few uses. It easily flips open to reveal an average sized opening to allow me to squeeze out the fairly thick consistency gel. Its' appearance is very luxurious when it makes contact with my net body polisher and I find only a small amount is sufficient for my entire body. The gel offers us a plentiful lather and feels soft and creamy on the skin. I find the scent of Pears somewhat difficult to explain, as whilst its' aroma is delicate, I can only describe it as fresh and clean; a fragrance that is suited to both sexes.
The gel thoroughly cleanses my body and effectively removes any dirt and impurities. Unfortunately, I cannot speak of its' non-comedongenic properties, as this is something I am totally unfamiliar with and I cannot state that I have experienced pore blocking with any of my other shower products. Although I do not suffer with sensitive skin on my body I can confirm the gel is extremely mild and gentle, particularly as I had suffered a shaving nick on my knee and there was no stinging when the gel made contact. My skin is always left feeling soft and smooth and the bonus with this product is that a very delicate aroma remains on my skin for a short period of time after use. Whilst I cannot state that this product is moisturising, it did not leave my skin feeling dry or itchy. As this is such a beautifully fragranced and effective product it receives 5 stars from me.
The shower gel should be used within 12 months of opening and the bottle can be recycled once empty.
It is only since I have been scrutinising products for the purpose of reviewing that I have realised how lengthy the list of ingredients are for all of my toiletries and for obvious reasons I do not wish to copy them into this review. However, I can confirm that I suffered no adverse reactions when using this shower gel.
Pears Shower Gel normally retails at around £1.99 and can be purchased from most supermarkets and stores such as Boots and Superdrug. However, at the time of writing (27 March 2011) you can purchase this product from Superdrug for just 99p.
I hope you found my review useful and would thank you for reading.
Pears to my mind is a very traditional cleansing range, with shower gels, bar soaps and hand gel soaps.
When I buy shower gels, Pears shower gel lurks on the shelf but is usually ignored by me as I go for the fruity scented, multiple claims shower gels. However, all it took for my preference to be swayed was a special offer on the Pears shower gel (this gel usually retails for £2 for 250ml so not too expensive in the scheme of things). I had used a Pears bar soap before so was aware of the brand's quality.
The shower gel is a rich amber in colour and is in a classic looking bottle. The bottle wears it's claims subtly - it is soap-free, hypoallergenic, skin pH balanced and non-comedogenic. Hopefully the first three are fairly obvious to all, the fourth claim I've found means that this shower gel is non-pore blocking. All in all this shower gel is supposed to be a non-detrimental experience for your skin.
As with many shower gels Pears' has a hook at the top and the lid and gel exit hole (which has a non drip rubber seal just in case you don't clip the lid back properly) at the bottom, allowing for the use of every last drop of the shower gel.
To get a good lather from this shower gel, either using a bath puff (amazing amount of lather) or just bare hands, only a relatively small splodge is required - about a 50p sized splodge (which means you can get several showers worth from the 250ml bottle). The gel sits in your hand well; it's not on the thin side. There is a fairly inoffensive, clean scent to it but I haven't worked out what it is, sort of woody-herby, but the scent isn't too important as it doesn't linger on your skin for long.
I don't suffer from any significant skin issues but I have noticed after using this gel for a few weeks that I haven't had the dry, slightly scaly skin I someimes get after showering. And where I have greasy patches no break out of spots even after a particularly vigorous gym session.
I have found using this shower gel a enjoyable experience, and, once I've used up my present stash of shower gels, I will definitely be using it again.

The stench from Wall Street is now in full bloom. Enjoy getting hoodwinked and swindled by these parasites one more time.
"Dark Pool" -sounds like the title of a Stephen King short story.
Madness! Insanity! Trust? Confidence? Stability? Wall Street is a bone-stripping casino already. NOW they propose to take the best and trade it in the dark amongst themselves and leave the poisoned WORST for retail to pick through.

John Connor's existence POLL
View Single Post
May 28 2009, 02:40 AM
The Borgified Corpse
Location: Ouch! Forgotten already? You were just down there 20 minutes ago.
Re: John Connor's existence POLL
^That's kinda how I was going to put it.
This reminds me of a bit in a (non-sci-fi) book I read recently. (It was one of the Robin Hudson mysteries by Sparkle Hayter,
The Last Manly Man,
I think.) In it, she says that time travel must be impossible, otherwise murderers of the future would realize that the past is a pretty good dumping ground for dead bodies and we would keep seeing all of these anachronistic corpses showing up. Not to mention, if timetravel were possible, why hasn't someone killed Hitler already?
One of the things that makes
The Terminator
relatively unique is that it's a time travel story told from the perspective of observers in the past and not the travelers from the future.
If we accept the inevitability of the existence of time travel, then it follows that the past would see the effects of future events. SOMEONE always traveled back in time. This individual then did things that helped to form the past & future that he already recognized. The present only happens once.
Take a step back and look at events from the linear perspective of time.
1.) On Thursday, May 12, 1984, Kyle Reese suddenly blinks into existence, seemingly from nothing.
2.) Kyle Reese impregnates Sarah Connor, then dies.
3.) John Connor is born.
4.) Skynet declares nuclear war on all humanity. Judgment Day.
5.) Kyle Reese is born.
6.) In 2029, Skynet invents a time machine.
7.) John Connor's human resistance takes control of the time machine. Kyle Reese suddenly blinks out of existence.
This is all that ever happened. None of these events are changable. The universe doesn't care why Kyle Reese suddenly blinked into existence in 1984, he just did. The fact that this would ultimately create the circumstances that would lead to his getting sent back in time in the first place were inevitable.
And here's another thing to consider. Why, of all dates, did Skynet choose May 12, 1984 to try to kill Sarah Connor? Why not try to kill John Connor at a later date, when it's less likely that their Terminator will cause collateral damage to the timeline that might endanger Skynet's own existence? It's because May 12, 1984 was the last date where Skynet could be reasonably sure of Sarah Connor's whereabouts. Why? Because that was the date that the T-800 started hunting her and forced her into hiding. Unbeknownst to Skynet, they were already constricted by their own mess.

Im so excited, Nadel said during a conference call Wednesday. Im happy, tremendously flattered. Its an amazing thrill for a kid from Brooklyn, who grew up as a radio junkie. Im still a radio junkie, I guess.
The award was announced by the baseball Hall of Fame at the winter meetings.
Nadel has been with Texas for the past 35 years. For the last 19, he has been the lead voice on Rangers radio broadcasts.
Former President George W. Bush, a former Rangers owner, has fond memories of listening to Nadel, whom he called a friend.
His passion for the sport is evident in every broadcast, Bush said in a statement issued through the Rangers. Any announcer can call a game, but Eric brings his listeners into the stadium. He is a wonderful ambassador for our national pastime.
The 62-year-old Nadel called Nolan Ryans 5,000th strikeout on Aug. 22, 1989, and was on air for the Rangers six playoff berths and two American League pennants.
His signature home run call, That ball is history! is part of Rangers lore.
Erics description and analysis of thousands of Texas Rangers games over the last 35 years have been a joy for the fans, Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan said through the Rangers. He has always made the games entertaining and informative. He is a Hall of Famer in every sense of the word and is very deserving of the honor.
Nadel will be honored during the Hall of Fame awards presentation July 26 in Cooperstown, N.Y.MORE IN Sports Wire

Great news! Today we're broadly rolling out a new test build of Windows Home Server - a Community Technology Preview (CTP.) If you've been following Home Server press coverage, or seen the subtle hints from the team in postings to the forums, you knew it was coming soon.
CTP provides a wide range of code fixes, user interface improvements and feature enhancements, such as:
CTP is an exciting milestone for the team on the road to final release. As always, those interested in participating in the beta program can apply here. We're looking forward to hearing the feedback!
PingBack from http://blog.team-studer.com/jon/?p=64
Very excited to hear about the new release. I had a feeling it was coming thanks to the news about the "Richard" incident.
Just got an email saying that the Windows Home Server team has released a CTP (Community Technology Preview)
You'll be happy to know that Microsoft found the Windows Home Server leaker and it was not an Microsoft MVP. But you don't need a leak - Microsoft just announced a CTP of Home Server and you can apply to be a tester here.
Already being an official beta tester I knew the CTP would be available. The whole incident unintentionally announced though that there was a CTP build for people that are following WHS.
Thanks, WHS Team, for all your work, and thank you for making this release available.
(J - the forum link in this post is wrong)
Looks like a new build of Windows Home Server is out, this product is now an essential part of my network,...
Clearly define password settings. Yea. Shame it doesn't actually work!
Beaucoup en ont surement entendu parler, Windows Home Server sera une nouveau produit "serveur" mais

Re: Is the USS Vengeance more powerful than the Enterprise E?
I'm not sure really if we should stick things from "Countdown" in here, but in that, at least, the Enterprise-E was holding her own pretty well against Narada, so I think the question becomes if Vengeance is actually powerful enough to fight toe to toe with Narada.

I was so hopeful that CBS would have decided to replace the K'tinga with the D4 in that ep when ENT season 1 was released on blu-ray. I should have known better.

Re: Is the USS Vengeance more powerful than the Enterprise E?
It looks contemporary to me, like a minor variant, but not a ship from an entire century (or two, in the case of TNG) before. The Raptor class we see more closely resembles the TNG Vor'cha class, and D-5 has very similar nacelles to that TNG ship. It's as if a decision was made to NOT backward engineer more primitive Klingon designs but instead create contemporary ones.
It would have been awesome to see a recognizable Klingon ship but with a shiny silver brand new bridge.

Re: Is the USS Vengeance more powerful than the Enterprise E?
I personally "mentally substitute" the D4 design anyway, since I find it unpalatable that the K'tinga exists in the 22nd century, but I know from previous posts that you don't share that view.

Re: Is the USS Vengeance more powerful than the Enterprise E?
So, to the interesting question. First I want to take the topic "technology advantage".
I see the advantage of technology between 23rd and 24th century reduced in more esthetic developments. In TOS as also in the Movies XI and XII the weapon technology seems quite the same as it is in Picard's time. Shields, phasers and photon torpedos (except quantum), Warp speed maximum is 9 in TNG and in Star Trek II they after all reach at least 5. A big step is done between 23rd/24th (kirk/picard) and 22nd century (archer), where you see in comparison very primitive technology used, but I think it has more to do with the writers of Star Trek. While TNG was meant to continue the series with more modern dialoges and requisite equipment to the standard of the 90s (because much developement was done in real 1960s and 1990s television ) the series with Archer's Enterprise was meant to show more technological history of the series, where it comes from and how it developes with the time. The development between 19th century and 20th century for us was also very big, but just becauce industrial revolution started quite 160 years ago. The difference between 800 and 900 a.d. or 1500 and 1600 wouldn't be that big I suppose...Nevertheless it is still very difficult to compare the technology and weapon equipment in star trek. While TOS Enterprise is somewhere exposed to be about 200-300m long with primitive laser shots as weapons (has to do more with television special effects from 60s!!) the same Enterprise in XI is shown as hard battleship, when you look it's firepower to provide the missiles from Nero's ship and it is called to be now about 700m long (??).
The quantum torpedos from E only destroyed the Borg cube because of the help from other ships with other hundres of missles and because of concentrating the firepower to one weak point, NOT because quantum torpedos are quantum torpedos, (and because of the star trek writers ) at least my conclusion. And don't forget, the USS Vengeance is a war ship! Its first aim is to destroy other ships from the same century, not only to be able to fight, but to destroy! She had more developed technology, developed by Khan!! a cunning man who knew exactly about the technology and how to infiltrate and to destroy it (not only to fight it). Even in real life the military has much more technology than we have, maybe for some decades more advantaged technology in use to be superior in conflicts. Next point!
Conclusions taken from movie scenes:
Someone here said, that you can compare more realistically, when you see how the different ships attack same targets. Although many of the following examples of course depend also on the writers of star trek, I want take them as serious and compare them. The Enterprise in XI is shown as quite strong ship, while, as said above, it provides itself from Neros attacks (future technology), gives the crew time to escape and even rams Nero without getting destroyed before.
The same ship gets the hell bitten out by only 2 drive-bys from the Vengeance!! It has no power for anything after this attack!! It falls on the planet!!! So you can say Enterprise Kirk vs Enterprise Picard and Vengeance vs Enterprise Picard is a totally different thing! You see in VII that the Enterprise D is also quite voulnerable without shields after taking some shots from Bird of Prey's Disruptor. E seems to can take more shots in Nemesis and still keeps its fight ability. BUT!! inside Vengeance!! (not on the surface) 72 photon torpedos detonate and the ship is still manoeuvrable! And still after crashing on the planet it doesn't explode, while someone here wrote that Enterprise D's warpcore broke once a season hahaa!!
Specifications USS Vengeance vs Enterprise E:
These are the most significant facts that sould lead to the conclusion of the topic. The Vengeance is a battleship, created to destroy, not to fight, ships from its time, with use of more advantaged technology and specifications. It is called to be 1450m long? I don't know if it is true, but if yes, it could easily RAM the Enterprise D/E and kill it in that way. Remember, twice the length is NOT twice the size!! A white shark at 1,50m weighs about 65kg, at 4m maybe 600kg and at 7m over 2tons!! Twice length, more width and more hight leads to more massive material to hold the chassis (car vs truck, truck is not only longer, but therefore much more massive to hold the chassis). Maybe this is also the reason why the Vengeance has a hole in the hull, so the second section doesn't get involved when the first penetrates a ship.
A big size normally sinks the manoeuvrability, but as you see in the chase at warp speed, the Vengeance closures in very precise steps to attack the old Enterprise. Also when flying around to do the "drive-by" it seems to move very fast and be very manoeuvrable.
The most significant fact for me is, that the Enterprise D/E is built for a crew of many houndred people, and it is a research vessel, of course with huge defense equipment because of the dangers in star trek universe, but still a research vessal. Most space inside this 700m ship is used for rooms, beds, scientific rooms, bars etc. while the Vengeance (1450m) can be flight by just one person and has a crew of 11 (?). So the 1450m are used for many Energy knots, for attack, defense and manoeuver and navigation purposes. I guess you can hit the Vengeance at many points and it would be still at full operation, because she was MEANT to be it, while the Enterprise (all of them) have weak points and work very central. A USS Missouri from 1942 (?, of 44?) would still kill any other ship face to face, and is still one of the fastest (34kn, the newest carriers do something about 37kn). And her hull is still almost unpenetrateable, physic remains the same (I talk face to face without planes and nuclear missiles).
I would give my money for Vengeance. It is still a military secret and you didn't even see much of her, maybe she has more weapons or abilities that weren't shown.

Sports journalism students at Arizona State University take us out to the ballpark for a fan's-eye view of the Brewers and spring training.
Like father, like sons
Phoenix - A love of baseball, much like parallel parking tips and pattern baldness, is something that's nearly impossible to keep a man from passing along to his son. From the Griffeys to the Ripkens, the Veecks to the Carays, the sport is filled with examples of fathers who have watched with pride as their children followed in their footsteps around life's basepaths.
Zack Minasian, the Brewers' director of professional scouting, developed his love for the game under the watchful eyes of his father, who worked as a clubhouse and equipment manager. Two of Zack's brothers also work front-office jobs in other major league organizations, and between the four of them, the Minasians have 92 years of experience in professional baseball.
At 27, Minasian is well on his way to fulfilling a destiny that seemed manifest many years ago, when his father named longtime friend Tommy Lasorda as his godfather. Not long after that, Zach was playing stickball outside teams' clubhouses with his brothers, using a sock rolled up with athletic tape, and remembers fellow baseball lifer Prince Fielder stepping in for a few at-bats.
Within a few years, Zack was working as a batboy, though his experience there was short-lived.
"I remember one afternoon, some guy yelled out from the stands, 'Batboys aren't supposed to have facial hair!' " Minasian recalls with a laugh. "So I moved on to other things."
He began watching games with his mother in the stands, sitting near the scouts clustered together with their stopwatches and radar guns. He credits them for teaching him to watch the game with a more critical eye.
"I'd see these guys with their scouting equipment, and they really showed me how to watch the game in a totally different way," says Minasian, "not just for my own entertainment."
When he was 11, his older brother Calvin taught him a game where each would draft professional teams using player salaries to fit their respective team's budgets, tailoring their rosters to meet each team's unique needs.
"I guess we never really stopped playing that game," says Minasian.
Today, he's actively involved in trying to put together the best team possible, taking notes during each batting practice and frequently going on road trips to evaluate talent on other teams. He sat in the crowd with a radar gun during Zack Greinke's final outing of the season last summer in Kansas City, and returned to Milwaukee confident the pitcher would be worth whatever it might cost the Brewers to sign him.
Watching his franchise emerge as a contender and source of civic pride has been especially gratifying for Minasian.
"I remember, before I took this job, there were a lot of people telling me not to come here," says Minasian. "The organization hadn't been very successful. They weren't known for spending money, and really weren't known for much beyond Robin Yount and the '82 team. And I can remember getting there and seeing only 15,000 fans on Friday nights.
"But now, it's seven years later, and we draw three million fans [a year]. I walk around the city, and see people wearing Brewers shirts and Brewers hats. It's great to feel like I've been a part of building that up."
And though the Minasians aren't able to reconvene as often as they'd like, there's one topic that's always brought up whenever they do.
"My dad obviously takes a huge interest in what we're all doing, and it's fun to be able to share it with him, too," says Minasian. "I don't think there's been a family dinner in my entire life where we didn't talk about baseball.
"It's a part of our lives, and always has been, and probably always will be."

Officials: Hoffman found with likely heroin packs
New York • Tests have confirmed there was heroin in at least some of the scores of plastic packets in the New York City apartment where Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead, a law enforcement official said Monday, and authorities are working to determine whether the drug was mixed or tainted with anything else.
Medical examiners have not yet made an official determination of the cause of the 46-year-old actor's death, but police have been investigating it as a suspected overdose. Hoffman was found in a bathroom with a syringe in his arm, law enforcement officials have said.
A few details have begun to sketch a picture of his final day and the circumstances in which he was found in his apartment in Manhattan's Greenwich Village on Sunday. And questions have swirled about whether Hoffman's death could be linked to a potent blend of heroin and synthetic morphine that has been tied to deaths elsewhere, though as yet there are no official findings pointing to that scenario.
"The direction of the investigation is going to depend, in large part, on the findings of the medical examiner and the findings of the lab tests," chief police spokesman Stephen Davis said.
An autopsy began Monday, but results weren't expected until at least Tuesday, the city medical examiners' office said.
A friend had spoken to him by phone around 9 p.m. Saturday, in the last contact investigators are aware of anyone having with him, a law enforcement official said. The official said the actor's door was double-locked when his body was found around 11:30 a.m. the next day by the same friend and Hoffman's assistant.
In the apartment were at least four dozen small packets variously stamped with the ace of hearts and others with the ace of spades, two law enforcement officials said Monday. Tests of samples showed heroin in each type, one of the officials said.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to talk about the evidence gathered.
Authorities also found unused syringes, a charred spoon and various prescription medications, including a blood-pressure drug and a muscle relaxant, one of the officials said.
Stamps are common as a form of drug-world branding, and authorities make note of the ones they encounter, though they're hardly trademarks different producers might use the same symbol. It wasn't immediately clear whether the ace of hearts and ace of spades stamps could lead investigators to any clues about the source of the items found in Hoffman's apartment.
Concern has risen around the region in recent months about fentanyl, a synthetic morphine substitute roughly 100 times more powerful than morphine, being mixed with or substituted for heroin. In western Pennsylvania, 22 people died within a week last month from suspected overdoses of heroin and fentanyl, Attorney General Kathleen Kane said last week; at least a half-dozen suspected dealers have been charged there.
On New York's Long Island, the Nassau County medical examiner's office said Friday it was investigating several deaths initially assumed to be heroin overdoses but later found to have involved fentanyl being sold in packets stamped "24K."
In New York City, a fentanyl-heroin blend cropped up recently in a case against a man charged last month with running a sizeable heroin and cocaine ring. In one of various alleged deals, he sold a 200-gram package of powder that later tested positive for both heroin and fentanyl, a prosecutor's office spokeswoman said Monday.
Associated Press writer Tom Hays contributed to this report.
Broadway marquees to dim to honor Hoffman
Broadway theaters will dim their marquee lights Wednesday night in memory of Philip Seymour Hoffman, the movie and theater star who earned three Tony Award nominations.
The Broadway League said Monday the lights will be dimmed for one minute starting at 7:45 p.m. Eastern time.
Hoffman made his Broadway debut in Sam Shepard's "True West" with John C. Reilly in 2000 and followed it up three years later with Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night" with Brian Dennehy and Vanessa Redgrave. In 2012, he played a powerful Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller under the direction of Mike Nichols. Each time he earned a Tony nod.
He also was a longtime supporter of the off-Broadway Labyrinth Theatre Company, where he served as co-artistic director.
