This much Ken Sabey knew: He hadn't asked for the box of items that came with the rented viola, and none of it looked necessary.
"I got handed this box with all of the stuff to start my son out, but no one mentioned it was another 50 bucks until I asked," said Sabey, whose 10-year-old needed the instrument for school.
Once Sabey shed the instructional DVD, a couple of music books, a chin rest and a music stand, young Luke Sabey had a decent, no-frills viola for about $25 a month.
Sabey is one of about 3 million parents who rent a musical instrument each fall for a child whose artistic promise might not extend further than listening to the radio.
Nevertheless, parents flock to the nation's 3,400 music stores armed with cash and little more than the knowledge that their child needs to get something they know very little about. Many walk into the store with a blind eye to what should be a careful transaction, little different than renting a car or even a tuxedo.
"Generally, parents don't know much about it since they never played. The child wants to play, and they feel like fish out of water," said Rick Mattingly, manager of Woodsongs in Boulder. "We do the best we can to educate them since it's just too much for the school system that's so overwhelmed with a new year."
Instrument rentals are popular because "the concern is that little Johnny might not stick with it," Mattingly said.
The result is a steady flow of rental business that allows music stores to recoup the cost of an instrument several times over. A $500 trumpet, for instance, pays for itself in less than two years of $25 monthly rentals.
"Every year, there is a new crop of children ready to rent," said Sidney Davis, publisher of Musical Merchandise Review.
The Westminster store Sabey chose turned into a customer-service nightmare.
"It was pretty much an assembly-line, get-them-in, get-them-out process," Sabey said. "They spent zero time going over the instrument with us."
Parents should weigh their options and not fall for the lowest price, which can often have more associated problems than more expensive deals.
"The best thing to do is ask the music instructor which local dealers they trust," Davis said. "Usually, they are reputable ones with a long-standing practice within the school district. It's not a quick-hit-and-leave type of business."
Schools often have prearranged agreements with local stores, allowing for affordable rentals that get a decent instrument into a child's hands.
"Some schools have rental fairs, where the school invites local stores that offer rentals and parents and kids have the chance to come and chat with them," Mattingly said.
Professionals agree that a quality instrument doesn't have to be the level of a Stradivarius - the last sold at auction, by the way, for $3.54 million - but should be good enough to play in tune. A poor, cheaply made instrument has its worst effect by diminishing a child's desire to play.
"A kid can get very frustrated playing an inferior instrument," Davis said.
Rental prices are typically the same or very close to one another as stores have been at the rental game a long time. But don't expect a pristine instrument for the cost of a rental. Many have seen their share of use, but they should not be so excessively worn they're unsightly, experts say.
"There is a common misconception that the instrument will always be perfect, and they're not. They are used," said Keith Pautler, a former band director-turned-customer-service manager for EasyInstrumentRentals.com, based in Fort Wayne, Ind.
At the minimum, the instrument will have been reconditioned and sanitized. That's industry standard.
"These are not high-end instruments, at best midlevel, and the store recoups its investment over and over again," said Marty Pollard, an instructor at Miller Music in Longmont.
The investment, though, is typically short-term since fewer than half the children who start an instrument stay with it for any length of time, Davis said.
"There are so many pressures on kids today that by the sixth grade, they're into sports, computers and other attractions," Davis said.

A game plan for renting an instrument
What to keep in mind before renting a musical instrument for your child:
- Ask music teachers for store recommendations. Ask other parents - or even other kids - where they've done business.
- Cruise the Internet and call other stores to compare prices, though most will be similar.
- Cheap instruments often are conditioned to look better than they play. Be wary of any deal that seems too good to be true. It probably is.
- Pawn shops and yard sales might harbor a good deal that costs only a few dollars more to have the instrument refurbished at a local store.
- Avoid terms longer than two months if the child is just beginning music. There is little point in paying for an instrument that's just lying around.
- Read the fine print to be sure it's a rental and not a rent-to-own deal.
- Rent-to-own is usually best when there's a real interest in continuing with an instrument, and the quality of the instrument typically is better. Payments should apply to the purchase price.
- Take a digital camera to the shop and photograph the instrument. This shows the condition you received it, in case questions arise when you return it.
- Homeowner's policies might already cover a rental instrument against damage or theft. Check before you agree to the rental store's insurance fee.

Make Your Own Ramen Noodle Burger Buns at Home
Turns out ramen and burgers are a match made in heaven—when you turn ramen into buns.
Turns out ramen and burgers are a match made in heaven—when you turn ramen into buns.
Regardless of what general seasoning you use in your burger patty recipe, salt is probably involved. If you want to cook a tender, juicy burger, wait to add salt to your patty until right before you start cooking.
We thought we'd come across every burger-making tip out there, from how to pack the patties correctly to the right way to smash burgers. But here's a smart-sounding one we'd never heard of until now: to keep patties extra juicy, add a little ice water to your meat.
Meet the "beer can burger," a stuffed-with-everything burger that's sure to be a crowd-pleaser at your next grilling party.
Whether you're grinding up your own beef for homemade In-N-Out burgers, or just whipping up a meatloaf for the family dinner, cooking up a tiny test patty might save you from a bland meal.
By "as gently as possible," America's Test Kitchen means packing the ground meat as if you're "cradling a newborn baby."
The Kitchn tested four different ways to shape a burger to see which method produced a beautifully shaped, evenly grilled burger.
Fast food chains keeping trying to create bigger burgers. Home burger chefs, on the other hand, need to keep the pre-cooked weight around 7 ounces to get the proper level of flavor and juiciness.
When you want a burger patty to be evenly grilled, how do you make sure the sides are perfectly cooked? Celebrity chef Bobby Flay recommends adding a little water to the pan.
We've all been there: You're holding a big ol' hamburger with both hands, you bring it to your mouth to take a bite, and the whole burger falls out all over the place. But guess what, there's an "ideal" way to hold a burger. This is it.
Most people know that grinding your own meat is the best way to control what goes into your burgers, and results in tastier, juicier, better burgers. Even so, the folks at America's Test Kitchen put the process to the test, and show us how to grind our own with nothing more than a freezer and a food processor.
The classic two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese (...) sandwich isn't that hard to recreate at home (in fact, we've got two DIY recipes for you to choose from), but there's no more authoritative source than McDonald's own executive chef.
If you're hosting a barbecue this summer, the last thing you may be thinking about is how healthy the food you're cooking up will be, but good news: if you're buying the ground beef for your burgers yourself, forming your own patties, and grilling them yourself, you're already doing your health—and your guests'…
The Big Mac is an iconic sandwich. Unfortunately, isn't the tastiest or the healthiest, and it's definitely not better than grilling your own burger. Here's how to make make your own, using ingredients you choose.You can follow Alan Henry, the author of this post, on .
For something so simple and easy to make, a good hamburger can be difficult to find. Thankfully, the trick to grilling a delicious and perfectly cooked hamburger isn't a mystery. Keep these tips in mind, and your backyard barbeques will yield tastier results.You can follow Alan Henry, the author of this post, on .
We've always been advocates of keeping your burgers juicy, but sometimes that can make for quite a messy and hard-to-eat lunch. Here's one trick to keeping your burger's bun intact and easy to eat.
Grilling season is upon those of us with real seasons. So grind some meat, fire up the grill, and make a serious impression in your burgers with your thumb. It keeps them from bulging in the middle, and keeps your worst spatula instincts in check.
There are many customs, lores, and matters of principle in grilling, including the sanctity of a burger on the grill. You'll be told by many to only flip it once, halfway through cooking, but it doesn't measure out in taste or consistency.
If you're heading out on to the open road this weekend, you're going to get hungry. The Fast Food Map mashup finds you a spot to refuel on your favorite value menu foods.

Originally posted on Laker Nation | Last updated 11/11/12
Image Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea | US PRESSWIREAs the rumors of Phil Jackson's coaching return continue to swirl around Laker-Land, another promising asset is beginning to emerge. That asset is second-year point guard Darius Morris.Starting point guard Steve Nash suffered a small, left leg fracture on November 1st in a game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This injury to the two-time MVP has recently opened the door for Darius Morris to step in and contribute. Morris set career highs in points (10), assists (5), rebounds (5) and minutes played (26) in last game's 101-77 win over the Golden State Warriors.Interim head coach Bernie Bickerstaff gave him the perfect opportunity to showcase his skills last night, and Morris responded by playing the best game of his career. Sure the past few games have only been a small sample size, but Morris's stellar play raises the question: who will retain the backup point guard role once Nash returns to the lineup?Although the Lakers labeled Steve Blake as their backup point guard before Nash's injury, Morris's play looks to challenge that position. Since Phil Jackson will most likely be named the next head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jackson's predetermined notion of refusing to play younger players will follow and possibly inhibit Morris's play. The Lakers are certainly made up of a veteran group, but younger guys like Darius Morris could lead to an effective balance of youth. Hopefully Jackson will change his traditional view and give Morris a long look at the backup point guard position. The following is a breakdown between Blake and Morris:Steve BlakeSteve Blake has been the Lakers backup point guard for the past few years, but he's produced at a below average rate over that time. Blake is shooting a measly 34% from the field this season although his 42% from three-point range is decent. His 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio also proves he's been taking good care of the ball this season, which has been an area of concern for the Lakers as a team so far (18.2 TOPG).The biggest knocks on Blake are his defensive abilities as well as his limited athleticism. When Nash returns to the starting lineup, Blake will join Morris back on the bench. The problem with having Blake back up Nash is that Blake practically brings the same tools and abilities as Nash, just to an obviously lesser degree. Blake's defense has also been an area of concern throughout his tenure with the Lakers. This culmination of athletic and defensive deficiencies leads to the fact that a change-of-pace guard could be more effective off the bench.Darius Morris Darius Morris, on the other hand, brings much more athleticism and strength to the table. Morris has clearly benefitted from his intense off-season workout regimen, which saw him add both muscle and quickness. Since the Lakers' veteran guards, namely Nash and Blake, are not the most athletic, Morris's athletic ability gives the Lakers another angle of attack. Morris has great end-to-end speed and is able to get out and push the ball, making him a prototypical change-of-pace guard.Playing at a quicker pace, as Morris tends to do, will create more fast break opportunities and get the Lakers' bench easy buckets. With easier looks on offense, the defense of the second unit should improve along with their offensive efficiency as a group. If Jackson does indeed return to coach, Morris's athleticism will add another element to the famed triangle offense. As a score-first point guard, Jackson will be able to rely on him as a much-needed spark off the bench, as Jordan Farmar once was for Jackson years ago. An increase in bench production would hopefully reduce the minutes of the starters and save Nash and Kobe Bryant from even more wear and tear. Morris has also significantly improved his outside shooting, shooting 50% from 3-point range this season, which will keep opposing defenses honest.For much of last season and even parts of this season, Morris's biggest weakness has been his poise. Like most rookie point guards, Morris entered the league trying to play too fast and trying to do too much. Morris has also had difficulties playing defense off the ball in the past, looking lost in his rotations at times. This season, however, he has shown great improvement in these areas, especially his decision-making and defensive instincts.Morris displayed great poise in last game's win as he looked much more comfortable running the second unit without having to coordinate Mike Brown's complex system. With coach Bickerstaff, and Phil Jackson most likely to follow, Morris will continue to flourish and add the much-needed elements of speed, quickness and the ability to get to the basket.The final say…With all of this in mind, Darius Morris makes the most sense to be the permanent backup point guard once Steve Nash recovers. With his "change-of-pace" mentality and a dedication to the defensive end, Morris makes the most sense to lead the bench unit in the future. Hopefully over the next few games Morris will continue to showcase the improvements he's made since last season. Because Morris's skill-set is so unique to this veteran Lakers team, he would be the perfect fit to assume the backup point guard role once Nash returns.

Teaching is one of the most satisfying careers that anyone can undertake. .A teacher is an intelligence multiplier, imparting their knowledge, understanding and life lessons to many other minds. Physics teaches are among the most sought after and employable teaching professionals. Physics teachers serve not only their students but the community as a whole by increasing fundamental science knowledge of future scientists and the public in general. Physics students are aware of what a career in teaching involves. The physics teacher serves as a role model for anyone interested in science. First, a teacher must be a scientist with a strong background in mathematics and science. The student must also have a great deal of academic breadth. He or she must be able to interact well with others; must exhibit an enthusiasm for the subject and must have a desire to help young people. It is often said that a teacher is someone who as a student was helped by some particular teacher. If you are such a person, perhaps you will want to consider a career in teaching.

Many Grandparents Lack Latest Child Safety Info: Study
Latest Healthy Kids News
SUNDAY, Oct. 21 (HealthDay News) -- A new study finds that many grandparent caregivers don't know about newer safety guidelines for children, such as appropriate sleep position, crib safety and car seat use.
The number of grandparents in the United States who are the primary caregivers to their grandchildren has risen nearly 20 percent since 2000 and is now estimated at 2.8 million, according to the 2011 American Community Survey.
In this study, 49 grandparent caregivers completed a 15-question survey designed to assess their knowledge of child care safety guidelines.
When asked about the best sleep position for a baby, 33 percent of the participants said on the stomach, 23 percent said on the side and about 44 percent said on the back. When sleeping, infants should be placed on their backs to prevent sudden infant death syndrome, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Another question addressed correct car seat positioning, and 24.5 percent of the participants said that a 9-month-old, 22-pound child should be facing forward. The AAP recommends, however, that children remain in rear-facing car seats until age 2 years.
Among the other findings:
The study was scheduled for presentation Sunday at the American Academy of Pediatrics' national conference in New Orleans.
"Pediatric health and safety recommendations are constantly evolving," study author Dr. Kathryn Hines, a University of Alabama at Birmingham physician who sees patients at Children's of Alabama, said in an AAP news release. "Many recommendations are likely to have changed since these grandparent caregivers parented their own children."
Primary study author Dr. Amanda Soong, also of UAB, added: "Discussion of health and safety recommendations is an essential part of routine child care, and pediatricians must recognize knowledge deficits that may exist in grandparent caregivers and be comfortable addressing these deficits."
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

My Sony camera has a 60GB hard drive and can store many hours of 1080p video. However, when I import these videos in iMovie (i.e. h.264) in their full 1080p size, they end up consuming something like 550MB per minute of video, which is about 10x more then when that same video was in a .mts file on the camera.
Why is this happening? How can I import videos without such a huge increase in file size?
Thank you.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: The Red and Black Cafe
by Chia
Review: I had read about this place on happycow, and here's my The Red and Black Cafe review. For my last trip to Portland I had mapped out a string of restaurants I'd want to visit while here using the happycow restaurant guide, and this was one of them. Well, it was not what I had expected or a place I am accustomed to eat at. It's kinda grunge, very basic set up, with lots of young people hanging out. On the night we visited, a young woman played the guitar and sang songs while a young crowd (full house) sat around listened, at their food, drank. We met up with a couple of friends from Canada who had just finished up their meal when we arrived. One said their ginger noodle was his favorite food when in Portland. I thought it was okay. Not a place for fine sit-down dining with family but a good place to meet with young people and listen to young musicians.

Ok, but I don't think it could fit for an avatar, if I remember well, avatars must be 50x50, but if you find a way to use it then go ahead
this looks so cool XDD
Pretty sweet dude! I love how it flows well even though the animation is naturally fast. No missed color changes, and the movement could almost be called flawless.

TIM: Learn Level Two is a 6 hour course that teaches viewers how to use and read Level 2 quotes. Traders often use Level 2 quotes to choose better trades and get better executions…a few cents/share here and there on every trade really does add up so I'm gonna teach you how to profit from predicting where other people place their stop losses, recognize ideal setups, market maker games and pockets of opportunity in order to minimize mistakes and get ideal executions.
"If you use level 2 while trading and it is confusing to you, you need to see this DVD. This and the SEC filings dvd's are Tim's more informative videos. He goes in and explains the basics you need to know about using level 2 and he also explains the head fakes he sees while looking at level 2 which is very useful."
"This is a DVD that describes Level 2, and how Tim Sykes uses it to make trades. The information in it is fairly basic, but if you have no clue what level 2 is, how to use it, how it works, or how it can be manipulated, then you will get a decent amount of good information from this DVD."
Not for you? No problem.

New in 2010: Experience led me to create Investimonials.com, a community of investors & traders who have reviewed nearly 4,000 financial products like brokers, websites & commentators…come join us, discover the best and worst financial products and help make this industry more transparent.
I had a slightly different college experience: skipping classes in favor of trading penny stocks every day, I turned $12,415 in Bar Mitzvah gift money into $2 million and started a hedge fund during my senior year. I also created a scholarship for talented/passionate people open not only to current Tulane students, but also Tulane faculty and alumni…an economic bailout ahead of its time.
My hedge fund went on to become the #1 ranked short bias fund by Barclays for 3 years and I was named to Trader Monthly's 'Top 30 Under 30′ in 2006, but my trading strategy was never very scalable (meaning it's much easier for me to make $10,000 than it is $10 million) and my fund lost 35% when I tried investing instead of trading.
Infinitely wiser but embarrassed and depressed, a TV producer asked me to make an appearance in his upcoming documentary "Wall Street Warriors"…I had lost my confidence and credibility so I said sure and ended up starring in 5 of the 6 episodes of the hit first season, which you can watch on Hulu, now having aired in 14 countries and followed by 2 more seasons (Wall Street Warriors Season 3 was filmed but as of early 2010 has not aired).
The show's popularity inspired hundreds of daily emails from fans wanting to know more about me and my trading strategy, but as a hedge fund manager, I was not allowed to answer any of them. So I said "screw you!" to the restricted hedge fund industry, wrote openly about my experiences in my best-selling autobiography "An American Hedge Fund" and started a publishing company to create brutally honest & educational financial newsletters and instructional DVD packages.
I've been featured by every major business and financial media outlet, but I am infinitely prouder of having returned to my $12,415 Bar Mitzvah gift money roots, intent on repeating my feat of turning that into $1.65 million, this time detailing every step of the way on this website.
2,200 blog posts and 27 months into this challenge, my account has surged to $115,551, already providing you with a rough blueprint of how to turn $12k into $100k in 2 years and making me the #1 ranked trader out of 45,000+ on Covestor, a website which verifies trades and performance…and nearly 1/5 of the top traders are my TIMalert subscribers and PennyStocking DVD students!
Battling against those in finance who misinform and lie, I've made enemies with soulless penny stock promoters, certain CNBC commentators, penny stock promoters who pretend to be FOX News commentators and wholly imbecilic people like Trader Monthly editor-in-thief Randall Lane who used his press connections to publicly berate me and accuse me of losing $ due to the TV show (ignoring the advance copy of the book I sent him in which I explain what went wrong) (don't worry, he eventually got what was coming to him).
Below are some good video interviews and you can see how my big mouth and brutal honesty get me into a little trouble:

Petition Tag - tories
1. Stop councils wasting millions of pounds of your council taxes
Over the past 5 years, the United Kingdom like many countries has gone through a period of public service cuts, resulting in hundreds of thousands of job losses because of the banking crises and over spending by governments and local councils. This had led too many local councils switching off their street lights at midnight (Daily Mail front page news in December 2014).
I was directed to one of my local council's web sites (Bournemouth) to find that Bmth had invested £7.3 million (part loan and part own capital) to replace 16,000 street/ road light lanterns with an all in one LED lantern head, which can never be serviced, unlike the traditional lanterns with a replacement bulb every 4 years.
The web pages promoted energy savings of 70% compared to the old types along with a big reduction in carbon emissions compared to the existing street/road lights which for 80 years burned high pressure sodium bulbs (HPS)
For the past 4 years I have been researching the growing development and innovation of LED lighting, which is a semi conductor designed to produce a wide range of light colours, but more importantly up to 90% energy savings and a long life of up to 50,000 hours.
This also included me spending many months a year in China at my personal cost, visiting many manufactures to see how the many parts were assembled and what the expected life span would be.
Today is the beginning of a LED lighting revolution which will change how the world will power its global lighting needs.
A quality 10 watt LED globe bulb, would replace a 100 watt Incandescent bulb we all loved, before the energy saving CFL bulb arrived in 2005, which we hated for many reasons.
Today every old light bulb or tube used in the world is now available in LED, including replacing 1 billion + street/road and highway lighting burning up the worlds fossil fuels that has added to climate change, as more housing developments are built.
A 5 watt LED globe bulb can be purchased from £1.00, but sold through such companies as B&Q for £6.00-£10.00. At the same B&Q stores, you will also find ECO bulbs (Economical) costing from £1.20 each that burns 42 watts compared to a 50 watt bulb.
Reducing energy is down to people power, but for the electricity generators and multinationals, it's all about selling us products that use more energy.
Around 10% of global electricity generation powers the world's street/road lighting.
If every local council in the world switched every street/road light with a retrofit LED bulb that matched the same light quality as we are used to, but with the added benefits to the community of a lower maintenance cost and a70% lower electricity bills.
It's now up to us to have a say in how councils spends the money given to them from central government, which is in affect our taxes paid across all aspects of our lives.
2. Petition for a motion of no-confidence in the UK coalition government
As most of you will know, the UK government operates an e-petition website on the basis that any petition achieving 100,000 signatures or more must be passed forward for parliamentary discussion. The govt has repeatedly rejected an e-petition calling for discussion of a no-confidence motion in the current coalition government.
This government has repeatedly shown itself unfit to govern - sleaze,an all-out attack on the NHS and the public sector generally, inappropriate interactions with powerful media & corporate interests, opposing Freedom of Information requests and not least mismanagement of the UK economy, among many other issues.
If you wish to communicate to the government that it does not have the support or mandate of the UK people for its actions, please sign the petition below - and publicise it to your friends via Twitter, Facebook and any other means. The government may not listen, but the more people sign, the harder it will be for it to ignore!
3. End Lib-Dem cooperation with the Coalition
A coalition is when two or more parties in government work together, either because of similar ideology or to achieve an elective majority, theoretically reaching compromises on important subjects to achieve a roughly even legislative record (issue #1 goes to party A, issue #2 goes to party B in exchange. It's not ideal, but both parties get something they want).
This coalition fails in both of those regards.
The Lib-Dems do not, and should not, have even a remotely similar political ideology to the Conservative Party. Similarly, the Tories have little to nothing in common with the Lib-Dems, and compromises on major issues have been non-existent. Instead, only a series of humiliating concessions have been made, and the Prime Minister has seen fit to lend his weight to sabotaging even these, as has been made clear with the referendum.
This is not a coalition, it is a Tory government masquerading as a coalition, pinning the blame for their actions on the Liberal Democrats whilst slowly eating their electoral base.
It is a state of affairs that cannot continue, and thus the Liberal Democrats must salvage what is left of their reputation and leave this ship of government before they are nailed to the mast. They do not deserve the criticisms aimed at them, and if they are to avoid decimation at the next election they must realise their mistake early, pull out, and assume a campaign of coordinated blocking of the government's supposed-reforms until concessions are made on major points of Lib-Dem policy and tangible results are produced as a result.
4. Stop unfair changes in employment law
The ConDem coalition is beginning to flex its' muscles and are following a Tory ideological aversion (with Lib Dem support) to employee rights. The attitude of the Lib Dems is particularly disappointing.
They are proposing under a Employers Charter to 'raise the bar' for protection against unfair dismissal from one years service to two. This will mean thousands of more workers will be dismissed unfairly and there will be nothing they can do! They are also proposing to force those who will still be able to claim to lodge a deposit of cash into Court to be forfeited in the event they lose their case! In reality this will mean that many workers will not be able to afford such a deposit and will have to give up seeking their rights.
The Government sees these measures as a way of paying back their big-business backers post election.
5. Introduce a Fuel Duty Regulator
East Kilbride SNP is backing calls for a Fuel Duty Regulator to tackle constant escalations in fuel prices.
The SNP has been campaigning for a Fuel Duty Regulator ever since 2005, when Alex Salmond moved an amendment to the Labour Government's Budget Bill. The SNP conducts this campaign in partnership with Plaid Cymru, its Welsh counterpart.
Before the 2010 election, the Tories and LibDems also called for action on fuel prices, but, since coming to office, have failed to act. Even worse, the coalition not only allowed Labour's planned Fuel Duty increases to go ahead, but added another 2.5 pence in VAT.
Before these increases, in a review of fuel prices in Europe in December 2010, the AA reported that the price of diesel in the UK is second only to that of Norway.
However, Norway, unlike Scotland, has control of its own oil and has much higher incomes than Scotland.
The Road haulage Association (RHA) supports the campaign for a Fuel Duty Regulator.
Speaking in support of a recent SNP/Plaid Cymru motion submitted to the Westminster Parliament, Phil Flanders, Director of the RHA's Scotland and Northern Ireland Region, said:
"We have always supported the SNP's proposals for a fuel duty regulator in order to bring stability to the costs of a haulage business where fuel can account for around 40% of running costs at today's prices.
"Help is urgently needed for all hauliers and particularly those further from their market such as those in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland."
Speaking in support of the petition, Linda Fabiani, SNP MSP for Central Scotland, said:
"Under both Labour and the coalition, Westminster has let Scotland down over soaring fuel prices. Indeed, both governments made matters worse by taking windfall tax benefits from soaring oil prices.
"It is simply unacceptable that in energy-rich Scotland, motorists and businesses are facing pump prices of up to £1.40 a litre, the vast majority of which goes to the London Treasury.
"These record fuel costs put huge pressure on vital sectors of the Scottish economy and risk choking the recovery that Scotland needs to provide long-term jobs in our communities."
"In the past year alone, fuel prices have gone up by at least 14% and in the last 28 months there have been 8 fuel duty hikes amounting, on their own, to a 25% increase."
"This petition is an important part of the campaign to reverse that trend and I urge you to sign it."
6. Boycott the Referendum on Electoral Reform - Sign if you want Fair Votes!
We were promised a referendum on Electoral Reform in the UK. Yet the best the Government can offer us is a choice between the current, unrepresentative "First Past the Post" and the immoral, unfair "Alternative Vote" system, where the victor is decided by second, third, fourth or even fifth or sixth best votes rather than genuine support for a party.
Currently, and which would still be the case should the Alternative Vote be adopted, a vote is only powerful enough to elect a single MP to "represent" the voters' constituency in Parliament. The UK is one of the oldest democracies in the world, and given that 21st Century politics is much focused on the race to who will form a government, this system of "First Past the Post" is outdated and not up to scratch in giving voters a real voice in elections.
A switch to the proposed Alternative Vote system would only change the way we vote. Instead of putting an "X" next to our selected candidates, we will be made to put numbers in descending order according to our "preferential" selection of each candidate. Not only will this be a pain in what ever but it will also cause problems in future elections. The thousands of people being left without a "voice" at the last General Elections due to polling stations closing before they got inside after waiting for hours in long ques is down partly to some voters not actually deciding who they will vote for before coming to the polling booth, news sources have claimed. Imagine what will happen if voters were to draw up a list of their most desired candidate down to their least desired candidate!
This is not necessarily a petition and is not going to anyone. This is a call to BOYCOTT the referendum in May 2011. No, not to abstain but to write "BOYCOTT" in clear, capital letters on the ballot papers. Sign up to this "petition" to confirm you will be voting to boycott this referendum. Just write "Anonymous" or any nickname you wish to use.
A "No" vote will be allowing the Government to assume we do not want an Electoral Reform of any kind. A "Yes" vote would leave us stuck with the Alternative Vote for a good number of generations to come. The more "Boycott Votes" we can get through, the more seriously the establishment would have to take our call for a Proper Referendum for Proper Electoral Reform.
For those of you who don't know, Proportional Representation is a system in which MPs are elected equally to how much votes their party gets, where votes can directly influence which party forms a government and who becomes Prime Minister, and is being used in many of the fastest developing countries around the world. Why can the Government not offer that as an option instead of a complex style of voting?
Please give a few minutes of your time to consider this as this will influence your daily life, and the daily lives of your children and grand-children. What will it be, will you vote "Yes" or "No" and let the Government take us, the voters for sheep, or will you simply write "BOYCOTT" on the ballot paper for a Real Referendum Now?

7. NO! to the HMRC proposals for the PAYE system!
8. Petition for Her Majesty the Queen to Dissolve Parliament
Her Majesty the Queen charged the government of David Cameron and Nick Clegg to "serve the country". As of this present moment, it seems more likely that they are instead serving only their own idealogical motives and are likely to destroy the country.
We hereby call upon Her Majesty the Queen to dissolve Parliament.
9. Full Exposure of Government Expense Claims - TORIES!
In light of recent exposure of fraudulent claims made by parliamentary members during the Labour Term in office, it is our right to view the records pertaining to the previous government TORY/CONSERVATIVE.
We the undersigned would like to see these records made public and ask that a full enquiry be made into the expenses claims of all Tory politicians during their time in office.
10. Save The Royal Hospital Rebuild From Tory / Lib Dem Cuts
In March 2010, the Labour Health Secretary, Andy Burnham MP, announced that the Labour Government was approving plans for a complete rebuild of the Liverpool Royal Hospital, at a total investment of £451million.
But on 18 May 2010, the Liverpool Echo reported that the Tory / Lib Dem government was reviewing those plans. They are now under threat, and there is a chance that the Tories and Liberal Democrats might cut the investment altogether.
Liverpool needs a modern NHS, and a Royal hospital fit for the 21st Century. Sign our petition, and demand that the Tory and Liberal Democrat government protects this investment.
11. Labour Campaigning Against the Increase in Resident Parking Permit Charges
Labour is campaigning in Northampton to oppose the proposed increases in car parking charges, for residents and visitors to the town, that are planned by the Tories running the County Council.
Local Party Secretary, David Brede, said:
'The local residents are being asked to pay through the nose, just to raise money for the council to subsidise the Tory rural heartlands. Also, shoppers visiting the town are being driven away by high car parking prices.'

Majik Lamp by GypsyHWatch
©2011-2016 GypsyH
Camera was set to wrong size - but had to take this fast shot of my cat "Majik" that was sitting on the PC cabinet falling asleep under the lamp.
Awww,,,,,,, and what a sweet name to go with her as well!
Sooo cute, and I love it, and sometimes you have to be quick, and the camera isn't ready when the cat is.
I think it turned out just fine though!

She Looks Sleepy
That's a perfect capture!
You know when I was first looking at this photo, I didn't *see* the bright light on the left of his head...to me it just looked like your cat had a very very odd shaped distorted nose!! Then studying it more, I realized what it was!!
Ha - She had her head right up under that light. I didn't use a flash because of the light. Now I see what you saw about the distorted nose and told her and she cried.
cute cat
"Turn on, tune in, drop out "
Aww, your Majik is beautiful! Nice lighting effect!
She was sitting directly under a lamp and it was cute watching her nod off and she would jerk and doze off again. :lamo:
LOL! Cats do the cutest things!
She was funny as heck! Her little head kept nodding and she would jerk and then do it all over again.

BP Spill Raises Concern U.K. Drillers Don't Plan for Disaster
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill last year raised concern among U.K. lawmakers that drillers in British waters aren't making sufficient plans for accidents.
Parliament's Energy and Climate Change Committee recommended rules requiring that offshore crew members are able to halt operations without getting permission from someone onshore. The governments should require that wells have blow-out preventers with two blind sheer rams to avoid a blowout similar to the one at BP Plc's Macondo well last year that started the worst U.S. spill, according to the advisory committee.
"Despite the high regulatory standards in the U.K., we are concerned that the offshore oil and gas industry is responding to disasters, rather than anticipating worst-case scenarios and planning for high-consequence, low-probability events," the committee wrote in a report published in London today.
The lobby group for U.K. oil producers said last week that companies are building a well cap designed by BP to use in British waters in case of a spill. Oil Spill Response Ltd. has commissioned the device that will be built by Cameron Ltd., Oil & Gas U.K. said.
The Gulf spill prompted President Barack Obama to ban deepwater drilling for months. The U.K. energy committee said there was insufficient evidence that there should be a similar moratorium in Britain and that such a ban would cause rigs to be deployed in other parts of the world, depriving the country of domestic production and energy security.
BP, Total, Chevron
BP, Total SA and Chevron Corp. are exploring in waters of similar depths to the Gulf of Mexico in the west of Scotland's Shetland Islands.
"There are serious doubts about the ability of oil spill response equipment to function in the harsh environment of the open Atlantic in the West of Shetland," the committee said.
It said the $245 million liability limit imposed by the Offshore Pollution Liability Association would be "insufficient" to cover the expenses of an accident. It also criticized a provision that companies only need to cover direct damage from a spill, saying the definition is unclear.
The committee said that BP's internal investigation of the accident, called the Bly report after its main author Mark Bly, arrived at "controversial" conclusions about the Macondo well design and should only be considered along with other reports and investigations.

Definitions for queen charlotte islands
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word queen charlotte islands
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Queen Charlotte Islands
a small group of islands on the W. coast of North America, N. of Vancouver's Island, 80 m. off the coast of British Columbia, a half-submerged mountain range, densely wooded, with peaks that rise sheer up 2000 ft.
Haida Gwaii
Haida Gwaii, formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands and the Charlottes, is an archipelago on the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada. Approximately half of its population is of the Haida people. The islands are separated from the British Columbia mainland to the east by Hecate Strait. Vancouver Island lies to the south, across Queen Charlotte Sound, while the U.S. state of Alaska is to the north, across the disputed Dixon Entrance. Haida Gwaii consists of two main islands: Graham Island in the north and Moresby Island in the south, along with approximately 150 smaller islands with a total landmass of 10,180 km². Other major islands include Anthony, Langara, Louise, Lyell, Burnaby, and Kunghit Islands. A parallel name to "Queen Charlotte Islands" used by American traders, who frequented the islands in the days of the marine fur trade and considered the islands part of the US-claimed Oregon Country, was Washington's Isles. Some of the islands are protected under federal legislation as Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site, which is mostly Moresby Island and adjoining islands and islets.

The Canadian Association for International Nursing (CAIN) is a new CNA recognized national special interest group, formed in spring of 2007. The nurses from across Canada who form our membership are interested in enhancing awareness, education and dialogue amongst nurses and health care practitioners interested in global health.
CAIN has started a number of activities and has exciting plans for much more. With approximately 100 members we have launched a website, published and exciting newsletter full of stories and opportunities and have created a forum through facebook to chat about how we can collectively enrich the experiences of those travelling abroad and the health and wellbeing of those whom we work t with in other countries. Right now we are working with the International Policy Department of CNA to create a database of nurses active in international work. Moving forward we plan to help define international nursing and facilitate members access to preparatory resources. We want to partner with other national nursing associations, international NGO's and with schools of nursing who offer international nursing experience for their students.
If you are interested in joining this exciting group of nurses look us up at firstname.lastname@example.com. We would love to hear from you!

Tori reveals interesting plans for her June 4, 2005 London concert on the Jonathan Ross show on BBC Radio 2
Updated Sat, Jun 04, 2005 - 3:44pm ET
Robert reports that he received an email from Zoe who heard Tori on the Jonathan Ross show on BBC Radio 2 in the U.K. this morning. Tori was interviewed and performed The Power Of Orange Knickers solo. During the interview, Tori said that a gospel choir will be at tonight's concert in London, U.K. (Saturday, June 4, 2005) and that Tori plans to perform all 4 songs from The Beekeeper that feature a choir. If this is true, that would mean that Tori plans to perform Sweet The Sting, Mother Revolution, Hoochie Woman and Witness. If Tori does follow through with this, this show would feature the concert debut of Hoochie Woman and Witness, which have not performed live before in concert! Anything could still happen, so I would not count on this, but it seems very possible. This could make for a really special show tonight in London!

In honor of Jack Goodrich, Co-founder, Fundraiser, former President and Board Member, Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity is launching our community giving campaign, The House That Jack Built. Will you be one of 3,000 members of the local community to give $20.00 each in Jacks honor? Recognizing the generosity of our community and valuing the impact of each individual gift, we know that together we can!Jacks Story Jack Goodrich was born in 1923 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He grew up and was educated in Nashville at East High School and George Peabody College at Vanderbilt. Jack served in the military from 1942 to 1945 and received the Asiatic Pacific Theater Medal with 3 bronze stars and the Philippines Liberation Medal with one bronze star. Jack Goodrich and his wife Millie moved to Murfreesboro in 1949. Jack used his talents in the business world, working for Aultmans Jewelers, Bell Jewelers and other local businesses. In addition to Jacks numerous business accomplishments, Jack was an effective community leader who exemplified service through the Kiwanis Club, MTSUs Blue Raider Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the City of Murfreesboro Affordable Housing Board and Room in the Inn, Trinity United Methodist Church, the Wesley Foundation at MTSU and for the Murfreesboro District of the United Methodist Church. It seems impossible to tell all that Jack accomplished, but 124 families in Rutherford County have to thank Jack Goodrich for co-founding a local ministry to make their dreams of owning a home a reality. In 1988, Jack Goodrich co-founded Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity. Jack continued to be involved with Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity for over ten years during which time 40 homes were built. The story is told of the Ben Weber Habitat Home, built for journalist Ben Weber who had been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. He wanted to be sure his family had a warm home and roof over their heads. Jack led the way in asking members of the community to help build a home for Ben Weber and his family. Help us continue Jacks legacy by answering his call again to build a home for a neighbor in need. Help us fund...

Click below to review our current financial profile.
The word "tithe" comes from the tradition in which people of certain faiths would donate ten percent of their income to their religious institution. Through Habitat's tithe program, Habitat partners are encouraged to donate a tenth of what they raise in support of house building in another country, encouraging all programs to participate in the international effort to eliminate global poverty by sending a portion of what is raised in their home country elsewhere.In times of financial crisis, the tithe program holds us together in firm, mutual, and often long-term support. It doesn't take much to have a measurable impact. For instance:
|Buys a bag of cement in Vietnam
|Pays for a toilet in Egypt
|Provides drinkable water to a village family in Tajikistan
|Funds the electricity for a home in Guatemala
|Funds all the walls in a home in Ghana
|Pays for a tin roof in Haiti
|Paints 16 homes in the Philippines
|Funds assisted in ongoing tsunami recovery.
|Over 90% of urban residents in this country live in slum communities. Prone to flooding and cyclones, slums often become cesspools of stagnant water, sewage & malaria-carrying mosquitoes. HFH Madagascar enlarges pathways and installs drainage systems, constructs public toilets, laundry and water points as well as building homes.
|This country is experiencing rapid population growth and urbanization. People migrate here in hope of finding employment, but find very high property prices and overcrowded rental units (2-6 people per room). In desperation, many resort to using recycled waste materials to build makeshift shelters. Nearly 4 out of every 10 live on less than $1 per day. Through community based partnerships, HFH Cameroon secures land and provides affordable housing options.
|In 2012, we will be sending a portion of our tithe to this country. Conflict in this region has resulted in instability and displaced people, alongside the effects of HIV/AIDS, malaria and poor health care. This has resulted in the orphaning of around 45% of Ugandan children. Extreme poverty is another problem. 38% of the population lives in grass thatched huts. HFH Uganda helps secure land and build homes. They also include training in health and other relevant life skills for the families.

FactChecking recent OJ Posts on the Settlement Offer and Lawsuit
by Dan Chmielewski •
I had some high hopes that when Vern Nelson took over as editor of the Orange Juice blog he'd make an effort to make sure that some of the posts had a measure of accuracy. And I also hoped to win the $266 million lottery Tuesday, and I didn't so I'm not surprised by multiple errors and misrepresentations in three recent OJ posts about our pending lawsuit against Art Pedroza and the Orange Juice Blog.

Hugh Nguyen seems to have a problem telling the truth
by Dan Chmielewski •
Revelation of his lack of truthiness could not have come at a more inopportune time for Mr. Nguyen. Despite being the sole Republican running for the non-partisan Clerk Recorder's office, Hugh Nguyen failed to receive the endorsement of his own party. This week seems to have gotten off to a bad start for Hugh.

A Personal Response to a Personal Attack
by Dan Chmielewski •
Sean Mill and I are friends. I know that sentence makes some of my co-bloggers here uneasy at best and angry at worst. I've never had a problem with Sean and I don't think he's had one with me. And even after we get through this post, I expect we'll still be on speaking terms. And if we're not, c'est la vie. But his post on the OJBlog yesterday warrants a response. The post is a "criticism" on Claudio W. Gallegos' post about Ceci Iglesias' campaign for Congress in CD-47 where it appears she's being placed to draw votes from Rep. Loretta Sanchez.

Barbie 1 by JustinCoffeeWatch

In December i did a bunch of freelance for Atomic Cartoons for the Barbie Fashionista line. This was one that i really liked that i did. Hope you like it.

very cute!
Awwwww, she's soooo cute!!!!!!
It's awesome can you make more please?
(Hey, I meant to comment on this image back when it was submitted.)
Very striking, Justin. The dress texture attracts the eye very nicely.
Very striking, Justin. The dress texture attracts the eye very nicely.
Thank you very much Jon! Glad you like it. This definitely ended up being the one i liked the most out of the ones i gave them. It's really kinda hard to satisfy when drawing Barbie, because they want something different, but not too much, cause it has to look like Barbie still.
Good work.
totally cute pic!
Beautiful! I love the pose and textures. Yeah, just beautiful.
What program did you use?
What program did you use?
Oh very cute! I love it!
Haha no way! I did the same thing! I gotta upload my designs at some point. These are great though--love the retro feel to them.
Haha thats awesome!! I would love to see yours. Were you doing them for Atomic too, or another company. I am glad you like it. I did more, but these were the ones that i really felt like i was doing what I would have done and liked, as opposed to what i thought they would have liked, ha.
Yeah, totally. Sometimes I felt a little too high fashion when I was drawing her, so I stuck to the lace/50's trend and went for simple looks. Yeah, it was Atomic! I'm going to be working in-house in two weeks doing character design for one of their projects. Trevor's really nice. He gave me some barbies to reference and then he let me keep them! Did you hear what Mattel thought of the designs? He just told me yesterday.
Oh nice, that's awesome, congrats on the gig! I wish i was out that way, i am living in the frozon tundra of moncton, new brunswick currently It's been so long since i worked in-house somewhere. Been freelance from home for past 3 years. Would love to work around people again though, you kinda start to miss that after a while, ha. As far as my designs go, they obviously, as per usual, liked my least favorite out of the batch. These two i posted were my favorite ones where i felt like i was being more myself. Trevor had me do one more in that style of the one the liked before x-mas vacation for them. Since than i have not heard anything, so i am assuming they went in a different direction. Yeah i was told to go more fashion illustration-y, tween, etc. This one i think i accomplished what i would have done, tried to keep it classic, cause i really love classic barbie illustration stuff from the 50s and 60s. The illustrations were great in the little booklets that came with them. Also tried to add a little touch of Rene Gruau to it as well, one of my favorite fashion illustrators. Funny thing is i already had two of those classic barbies they re-released from having done this on another occasion, ha. In the end how did your designs go over? Would love to see them some time!
Just because you didn't hear a response from Trevor doesn't necessarily mean he didn't like it. I went in house last week and had to ask him personally after a month of waiting! I would love to see the other designs you did! Yeah, I really enjoy the classic aesthetic of barbie--and Gene Gruau is amazing, that's an awesome place to draw inspiration. Very elegant choice! Trevor said that he liked my designs and that they went over really well at Mattel, but Mattel told him that they don't have any plans to redesign their barbies at the moment. He said he was glad though because the designs he presented inspired Mattel to keep in touch with them if there's any further developments. Trevor said he wants to keep me around just in case anything pops up, haha. I will post them this week with any luck. If you ever come out to Vancouver sometime for work, let me know. I'll do my best to hook you up with some!
Yeah i know. I did know they liked the direction of the one and wanted more like that, and i did one more like the one they liked. I really wonder what it was all for in the end. I mean considering that you just mentioned that he said they said they have no plans to redesign. Oh well it was a fun project to get paid for in the end, so whatever. Good luck with your new gig!
I think it was just Mattel throwing their money around and seeing what ideas Atomic could come up with for them. Unfortunately sometimes that's just all it is. It would've been cool to have barbies made from our designs haha. I should be posting some of mine tonight with any luck. And thank you very much!
neat, i like the drop out on the white stripes
nice! cant go wrong with black white and red
Lovely work
SO cute!
killer, just love the shapes of her legs super simple shapes and with different colors. Its the BEST!!!
Neat work! I really love the dress.
Wow dude, that looks really awesome.

Oh! No, no no! The poor bustling busy beeties at Burt's Bees have made a real dud here with this Banana Hand Cream.
As with all their jars, it's pretty as a picture, charming for your mantelpiece. It's tiny but as we know, their formulas are waxy, so 50g of this solid stuff will last you into your pensioning age and could even embalm you without trouble. (Something to consider unless you want to die a death hand cream boredom)
The, ho hum, only good thing going for this pomade like wax is the nostalgic fragrance. It smells like all your comforting childhood dreams: creamy 'nana milkshake with cookies, hot mashed 'nana with peanut butter, hot 'nana buttermilk muffins, and more. But, boy, it doesn't last. You're all dizzy massaging a dollop of this glue into your palms (ick, sticky), and voila, within a jiffy your sweetened palms are left with a sickly, beeswax, marzipan-like pong.
At this point - don't touch anything! Nay, don't touch your freshly washed hair, your squeaky clean cleansed face, nor rub your tired peepers. Why? For fear your palms will stick to your skin - and stay there - for dear life. This stuff is sticky as superglue, talk about a 'nana supergloop attack. To give you an idea of texture, this stuff doesn't move. One couldn't blame artistic or baking beauties using this stiff glop for sculpture, cake decoration, or anything else that takes their whims. It's playdo in a jar.
Not worth the money, not worth the nostalgia. I gauge they're banking on the success of the big yummy sister aka le Almond Milk Hand Cream, but this is a hit and miss. Some will love it (um, Why? I scream), some will hate it (I concur, sisters!), some won't care (that's the worst, indifference....).
Now, why would one use beeswax to make a hand cream? Bad recipe, fellas. Unless you're a gardener, or cleaner, this is not for everyday beauties who, erm, need to use their hands. Pray, stick to lush nut butter bases beauties, they're far superior to the beeswax that's best for lips and soles.

This makes a great overnight hand cream. It moisturizes really well, and the banana scent is comforting. It's very greasy, so save it for bedtime.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
Another favorite of mine. I adore the banana scent! Its very thick so i only put it on the back of my hands and elbows. My bf always says how soft my hands are.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I really love the smell, actually! Smells like the little banana sweets I had when I was a kid! I agree that this cream is very heavy and waxy, but I use it on my hands, feet, elbows, knees at night and it moisturises like nothing else. Will definitely repurchase as it feels much more glam than Vaseline!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I really love how this makes my hand feel, just utterly soft. But the smell, I hate the smell. I hate bananas and now having my hands smell like that is totally not appealing to me. Its the only reason why i wont re-purchase, so if you're ok with the smell it should be a great product.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This smelled like overripe bananas and made me a little nauseous. It was a bit too thick and sticky for a hand cream in my opinion. I got it on clearance a long time ago, and would never repurchase.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Red, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
I got this in one of the Burt's Bees "Starter Kits." I'm glad that I only had that little bit of product to test out. It's OK, but I'm not enthusiastic about it.
The smell is OK, because I can smell a bit of natural banana. I can smell the beeswax too, but that scent doesn't bother me. Overall, I've smelled better and I've smelled worse.
The product is quite greasy, which is the thing that's preventing me from really liking this product. Once I use this stuff, it's like I put a force field on my hands. Water won't break through this stuff (which is good if your hands REALLY need repairing, but it isn't my cup of tea). I just prefer textures that aren't quite as strong as this.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
Although this is a hand creme, I would not recommend using it all over your hands. It's sort of greasy and doesn't absorb very well BUT it does the job. Plus it smells GREAT! well at first... after a few seconds of applying it just smells like wax. I honestly don't mind. Since my hands get dry over the winter I use it on my knuckles and I also get random dry spots all over my body and this product seems to work =] so I recommend this to people with dry skin. And a tip, use it at night that way you won't be bothered by the smell or the greasy feeling. But the packaging sucks, the jar looks super cute but I don't enjoy getting the product out. Overall I recommend this to people with dry skin only (not just hands)!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
Good product, does the job. Just get used to the smell.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Olive, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I like the banana smell, but it quickly smells waxy I hate having to dig my fingers into the cream to apply. This cream leaves an oily feeling, but does level out after much hand rubbing. I would expect with the thickness and oilyness of this product that my hands would feel hydrated for more than a few minutes. I do not recommend this one.

Article Summary
A far cry in terms of both size and capability from the "bricks" of just over a decade ago, the smartphones of today are virtual offices and entertainment arcades that fit in your pocket. As we reported last month, America's Department of Homeland Security is examining whether the ability to detect dangerous airborne chemicals should be the next function that mobile phones add to their ever-expanding utility belts. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have now begun work on a prototype sensor that could help map airborne toxins in real time.
