This is my staple unscented lotion. It moisurizes very nicely! Even my husband uses it. Also, I have bad allergies so there are many times when I need a basic unscented lotion, but also I use it mixed with other products too (shimmer lotions, and scented lotions-to make them less scented).

We British have the sub judice rule. In other words once a case has commenced everyone has to shut up about it so that the accused can get a fair trial.
It really is about time America came under British rule once again. Mind you I am not sure we would want them.

It was reported in a real newspaper in the real world. Is the "magic world" so insular that it receives no communications from the real world?
The comparison for me is this: a co-worker is involved in a possible domestic violence situation. It is one thing for everyone at the office to read about it in the morning paper, it is another for someone to post the articles in the break room (and I can't imagine a company tolerating that kind of behavior).
We are magic enthusiasts discussing magic and magicians on a magic forum.

VERY POOR QUALITY Buyer Beware
By Jewelry Fan
from Vancouver, BC
I absolutely agree with the previous reviewer. Wouldn't even have given this bracelet 1 star if possible. I received it, stone was completely scratched, and it fell out of the setting! The setting was broken. It is VERY thin (setting), and not sturdy at all. Very poor quality. This is the second Carol Brodie item I'm returning. I will NOT be buying from this line again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very Disappointed.
By Love TSC
from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
I received two of these today in the blue at the sale price. The stones are a pretty color but look like they are all scratched up. Looks very cheap. Going back. Not the usual quality for Carol.
By Maisie's Daughter
from Caledon, Ontario
This bracelet can be worn stacked with others or is equally nice on it's own. The cord is very comfortable and you hardly know you have it on. It fits my wrist perfectly when pulled tight. Only minor thing was stone was a bit scratched but overall very nice.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Really nice
By sandy
from COBBLE HILL
Well worth it. This is a great little piece, can be worn with any other bracelets and sits flat against the wrist. The cord softens up and you don't even know you are wearing it.Would recommend this one.

Good buy
By Jewel Girl
from Ottawa, Ontario
When I received my bracelet with the green stone, I was disappointed at first with the stiffness of the braid, but after a couple of wears it softened up and sits nicely on the wrist. I wouldn't pay the full price, but the sale price is quite fair for a nice bracelet that can be layered with practically any other bangle or bracelet.It is very, very comfortable and easy to put on or remove.

The green stone is a nice green. Nothing extraordinary for this type of bracelet.
Lovely Bracelet
By DEBORAH
from INNISFIL
I have never owned a corded bracelet before, and this one is very comfortable. I purchased the green sapphire and it's a lovely quality stone. I love the cut as well. It lays nice and flat and you don't even notice you are wearing it.
Absolutely LOVE IT!
By tsc regular shopper
from Calgary
Exceeded my expectations, this bracelet is lovely! Very happy with this purchase, fits my smaller than average wrist perfectly when pulled tight all the way. The jewel is beautiful! Great price, classy bracelet, thank you!!

Good toy
posted 7 years ago
Skippy really likes her donkey. She picked it out herself at the pet store. She only likes toys that squeak and grunt and they have to be durable because if they stop making noise she brings them to me to try and fix.
Pros: Squeaker is durable
Cons: none

YUM! I used my fav nut butter--but I don't think it is raw--Justin's Almond Maple nut butter. I will try this again with a raw nut butter, however, the texture and flavor was wonderful.
i've made something similar to this before and it's really good!

WOODLAND — Entrusted with a company credit card, Leona Jull made hundreds of purchases during her tenure as executive director of Fourth & Hope, a nonprofit agency that provides food, shelter and other services to the homeless population.
But some of those purchases — among them pricey vehicle repairs, living-room furniture and satellite TV service — have landed Jull in a Yolo County courtroom, where she's standing trial this week on allegations that she used Fourth & Hope's coffers to cover more than $32,000 in unauthorized personal expenditures.
Of that, more than $25,000 was spent at gas stations and restaurants, authorities say.
"While people in the community were donating money to the poor, she was putting it in her pocket," Yolo County Deputy District Attorney Jennifer McHugh told jurors during her opening statement Tuesday, referring to public contributions that fund Fourth & Hope's programs along with government grants.
McHugh said Jull repeatedly failed to submit receipts to support her expenditures and ignored requests from the agency's board members to establish a credit-card spending policy.
Defense attorney Robbin Coker, however, described her client as so dedicated to Fourth & Hope (formerly known as the Yolo Wayfarer Center) that she "ate, slept and breathed that organization," and while she may have exercised poor judgment on occasion — including repeatedly handing co-workers her credit card to fill work vehicles' gas tanks — she never intended to deprive the people the agency serves.
"Was she perfect? No. Did she steal from this organization? No, and I think that's what the evidence will show," Coker said during her opening remarks in Yolo Superior Court Judge David Rosenberg's courtroom.
Jull, a 47-year-old Arbuckle resident who served eight years as Fourth & Hope's executive director, has pleaded not guilty to a single grand theft charge, which alleges losses of at least $950.
She was arrested last August, five months after she left the Woodland-based agency amid allegations of spending discrepancies first raised by the agency's bookkeeper, Sherrin Buras.
As the trial's first witness, Buras testified Tuesday that she initially noticed in 2012 what appeared to be personal expenses on Jull's Visa statements, such as recreational equipment, a traffic fine and a sofa set that police later found in Jull's Arbuckle living room. She said Jull also used Fourth & Hope checks to pay for $1,800 worth of repairs and tires for her personal vehicle.
Buras said she brought the suspicious activity to the attention of Fourth & Hope's CEO, but "nothing, to my understanding, happened." She did not approach the board of directors because "I felt that if I said something that I would lose my job."
Under cross-examination by Coker, Buras said she had no independent knowledge of whether Jull had entertained board members or potential Fourth & Hope donors at any of the restaurants, and she acknowledged that Jull occasionally used her personal vehicle for agency business, even though she had access to company cars.
And while others Fourth & Hope employees who had company credit cards were generally reliable about submitting receipts, "nobody was 100 percent perfect all the time," Buras said.
Indeed, Jull's arrest exposed an apparent lack of executive oversight that plagued Fourth & Hope at the time. During a courtroom discussion that took place outside the jury's presence Tuesday morning, prosecutor McHugh noted that no one took on the role of authorizing Jull's spending practices.
Despite the presence of a board of directors, "it was really left to Ms. Jull to authorize things," McHugh told Rosenberg while arguing whether certain budget documents should be presented to the jury. "The board of directors didn't have much oversight (over Jull), which in hindsight was a mistake."
Last fall, Yolo County Housing entered into an agreement to provide executive services to Fourth & Hope for at least 18 months, which YCH officials said would include a review of all the nonprofit agency's policies and procedures.
Jull's trial, expected to last about a week, continues Wednesday in Rosenberg's courtroom.

Is it possible to get any information about the package or the application from the apk file without installing it in the Android environment?
How to get application or package info from the apk file in the android application in the Android environment
An apk file is really just a zip archive with a different name. Rename x.apk to x.zip, where x is the name of the file, and you will be able to open it with any zip tool. It really depends on what information you're after as to whether you can find it in the apk file. I can say that you can access the AndroidManifest.xml file in which key information about the access rights of the app etc is stored in a fairly readable form, provided you know what you're looking for. What do you want to find? If you're looking for a readme or something then you almost certainly won't find it in there.
Check out this method from the PackageManager class:
Retrieve overall information about an application package defined in a package archive file
Might be helpful for you ;)
You act like you have an option. You don't, if all you have is the APK. The only solution, if all you have is the APK file, is based on what Sam pointed out.
Of course, you can publish your metadata in a separate file alongside your APK, wherever you are getting your APK from (e.g., Web server).

DEFINITION of 'Subsidy'
A benefit given by the government to groups or individuals usually in the form of a cash payment or tax reduction. The subsidy is usually given to remove some type of burden and is often considered to be in the interest of the public.
Politics play an important part in subsidization. In general, the left is more in favor of having subsidized industries, while the right feels that industry should stand on its own without public funds.
BREAKING DOWN 'Subsidy'
There are many forms of subsidies given out by the government, including welfare payments, housing loans, student loans and farm subsidies. For example, if a domestic industry, like farming, is struggling to survive in a highly competitive international industry with low prices, a government may give cash subsidies to farms so that they can sell at the low market price but still achieve financial gain.
If a subsidy is given out, the government is said to subsidize that group/industry.

How to Breathe When Running
"How do I breathe when running?"
Surprisingly, you're not alone if you've ever asked yourself this question or solicited advice from your running partners.
As a running coach, I've encountered this question on more than few occasions and I think it's important for beginners to understand how they should approach the sport from the very basics.
I've heard people advocate breathing in through the mouth and out through the mouth, using slow breathing rhythms, and all sorts of nonsense. Nothing irks me quite like the spread of misinformation, especially when it pertains to training topics. Therefore, I am happy to help set the record straight.
Breathing through your nose or your mouth?
You should always breathe in and out primarily through your mouth when running.
If your nose wants to join the party and help get air in and out, that's great. However, when you're running, feeding your muscles the oxygen they need is of paramount importance, and breathing through the mouth is the most effective way to inhale and exhale oxygen.
To make the most of your breathing, make sure you avoid "chest breathing" in favor of what's called diaphragmatic breathing or "belly breathing".
Chest breathing is a weak form of breathing. It's too shallow to bring in maximal oxygen and doesn't fully expel your lungs when you exhale.
Instead, your breathing should be diaphragmatic, meaning the action of inhaling and exhaling extends down into your stomach.
As you breathe, your stomach should expand and contract as your diaphragm forces air into and out of your lungs. Your chest, meanwhile, should remain mostly still, but you'll take in more oxygen with every breath.
The next time you go running, be aware of your breathing and your natural inclination to breathe through your nose or mouth. If necessary, focus on making the necessary corrections and taking in breath through your mouth. It may be a struggle at first, but you should eventually be able to transition to a better breathing technique, and do so without thinking.
With any luck, you'll notice an improvement in your running efficiency and performance.
Training your breathing muscles
Just as we strength train our hips or hamstrings to improve our leg strength, we can strengthen the muscles used for breathing.
In fact, researchers at the Centre for Sports Medicine and Human Performance at Brunel University in England demonstrated a direct link between the strength of your diaphragm and fatigue during the marathon.
The easiest way to start is by lying on the ground. While lying on your back, breathe deeply so your belly rises with your chest as you inhale, and lowers while you exhale. Continue to practice this while lying down until you feel confident to move upright.
Once you have this trick down, you can move on to pilates exercises. Pilates help stretch your intercostal muscles and lengthen the spine, which helps improve breathing and running.

Breathing rhythm
Your exact breathing rhythm will depend on how hard or easy you are running and/or the intended intensity of your workout.
Breathing rhythms refer to the number of foot steps you take with each foot while breathing in or out.
For example, a 2:2 rhythm would mean you take two steps (one with your right foot and one with the left) while breathing in and two steps (again, one with your right foot and one with your left) while breathing out.
Easy runs
Typically, you'll find that a 3:3 rhythm (three steps – one with your left, one with your right, one with your left – while breathing in) works best for warm-ups and most easy paced days. This allows plenty of oxygen to be inhaled through the lungs, processed, and then exhaled with relative ease.
Don't try to force yourself into a 3:3 breathing rhythm on an easy day if it isn't feeling comfortable. Remember, the purpose of an easy day is to keep your effort comfortable and to help the body recover. If a 2:2 rhythm (described below) is more comfortable, go with it.
Breathing slower than a 3:3 rhythm is not advised because you're not giving your body enough time to clear carbon dioxide. The average runner should take about 180 steps per minute (some a little less, others a little more), which means you take 90 steps with each foot in a one minute span. A 3:3 rhythm enables you to take about 30 breaths per minute, ample time to process carbon dioxide while still getting in the oxygen you need.
Moderate paced runs
Runs harder than an easy run, but not all out race efforts, should typically be performed at a 2:2 ratio (two steps – one with your left, one with your right – while breathing in, two steps – one with your left, one with your right – while breathing out). A 2:2 breathing rhythm enables you take about 45 breaths per minute, which is perfect for steady state, tempo runs, and marathon pace runs.
Hard workouts and Races
At the end of races or the end of a particularly hard interval session, a 2:2 breathing might not cut it. In this case, you can switch to a 1:2 (one step breathing in, two steps breathing out) or 2:1 (two steps breathing in and one step breathing out) breathing rhythm. This will increase your oxygen uptake to 60 breaths per minute.
I don't recommend a 1:1 breathing pattern. At this rate, you'll be taking shallow breaths and you won't be able to inhale enough oxygen to maintain proper ventilation in the lungs.
On a personal note, I don't pay much attention to breathing rhythms at the end of races. I prefer to run all out, focus on competing, and let my breathing take care of itself. However, it can be helpful to those runners who become anxious as the final meters approach.
Other good uses for breathing rhythms
While breathing rhythms can help you identify and monitor the intensity of your run, you can also use them to monitor and control other aspects of your training and racing.
Paying close attention to your breathing rhythm can help you monitor and "feel" your pace, especially on tempo runs or tempo intervals. Once you lock onto your correct goal pace for the workout, you can monitor whether you begin to breathe faster or slower to identify when you accidentally speed up or slow down. It requires close attention to detail, but it can help for runners who struggle maintaining a consistent pace.
Many runners wonder how to adjust their pace when taking on a hill during a race. Unless you know the exact grade and length of a hill, it's very difficult to accurately measure how much you need to adjust your pace. However, if you're maintaining a 2:2 breathing rhythm through the race, then you should focus on maintaining that 2:2 rhythm as you tackle and crest the hill. By maintaining the same breathing rhythm, you keep your effort even and prevent yourself from spending too much energy getting over the hill.
Side Stitches
If you encounter a side stitch while running, you can slow your breathing rhythm to take deeper, controlled breaths at a 3:3 rhythm. Often, side stitches are caused by undue stress to the diaphragm, which is escalated by shallow breathing. If your side stitch persists after switching your breathing rhythm, you can try this trick for side stitches here.
As you can see, you have many ways that you can breathe and use rhythms to monitor your effort in workouts and races. Try not to become too focused on your exact breathing rhythm every step you take. Do what feels comfortable and you'll usually wind up falling into the proper rhythm by default.

No, I wouldn't like it. Maybe just for a day. But anymore than that and I'd miss the attention from my parents. With the focus having to be shared, I think it would be a struggle.
I happen to have a set of girl/boy twins aged 2 1/2... you are welcome to help look after them for day :) They are hard work lol
yeah, but only for a day, and only if I could forget about the experience when it was over. wouldn't want to miss it.
I'd love to have a twin Dx
I am Gemini hear me roar! I already have one... =D
The world could not stand two of me...or so I am told
i would like to have a sister who looks good thatway i dont have to leave home to get a gf i just go with my sister
God no, it is bad enough that my younger brother and I share the misery of a christmas birthday
That'd be pretty cool, provided they dig the same stuff I do.
I would love to but only if they understood me - if they were different to me then no lol
I'm already one
I'm a twin already....but being a triplet may be fun!

Research Corporation awards $2.8 million in grants in chemistry, physics and astronomy
Awards to scientists promote research at primarily undergraduate institutions and encourage Ph.D.-granting institutions to excel at both teaching and research
(Tucson, AZ) � Research Corporation, America's first foundation for the advancement of science, announces the awarding of sixty-five grants to scientists at colleges and universities across the United States and Canada. Through three different grant programs, Research Corporation will be supporting scientists in many of the cutting-edge areas of science--from dark energy, cosmology and nanostructures to biomimetic systems, light-harvesting compounds and environment-friendly solvents.
Examples of this year's awardees and their proposed research programs include:
� Ann Esin, Department of Physics at Harvey Mudd College, will study the photometric variability of stars in nearby star-forming clusters. (Cottrell College Science Award)
� Peter M. Iovine, Department of Chemistry at the University of San Diego, will examine the synthesis and spectroscopy of conjugated light-harvesting compounds containing boroxine cores. (Cottrell College Science Award)
� Rustem F. Ismagilov, Department of Chemistry at the University of Chicago, will use minimal chemical models to understand complex biochemical networks and to create biomimetic functional systems. (Cottrell Scholar Award)
� Bhuvnesh Jain, Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania, will study gravitational lensing as a probe of dark energy and cosmology. (Cottell Scholar Award)
� Rebecca L. Braslau, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, Santa Cruz, will investigate the design and preparation of ABA triblock copolymers as lipid bilayer mimics. (Research Opportunity Award)
Through the Cottrell College Science Awards (CCSA) program, faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions are challenged to explore new areas of science, to make new discoveries that contribute to their discipline and to initiate new research programs that can be sustained by other extramural funding sources, as well as with institutional support. A key element in these research programs is that they involve undergraduate students in meaningful ways. It is also expected that these endeavors will spill over into teaching, thereby raising the quality of undergraduate education.
The CCSA program supports both beginning and established faculty, with an emphasis on faculty initiating an area of research. These awards are announced twice a year. In this round of CCSA announcements, fifty-one scientists will receive $1.8 million in grants, an average of $36,000 per grant.
The prestigious Cottrell Scholar Awards (CSA) program is designed to support young faculty members at Ph.D.-granting institutions. These awards recognize institutions and faculty members who wish to excel at both teaching and research. The awards also seek to reinforce faculty mentoring, communication and a heightened appreciation for instruction in university science departments.
Cottrell Scholars are announced once a year, and each award recipient receives a grant of $75,000. Applicants must be in the third full calendar year of their first tenure-track position, and their applications consist of both research and teaching proposals. In this year's competition, the eleven awardees were selected from a group of ninety-six applicants.
In the third and final announcement, Research Opportunity Awards (ROA) have been made to three mid-career and senior scientists at graduate institutions who wish to reestablish long-term funding by initiating a new program of experimental research. In the ROA program, the chair of each Ph.D.-granting astronomy, chemistry or physics department in the United States and Canada may nominate up to two tenured faculty members annually who are without major research funding. The goal is to seed a vigorous, competitive basic research program reestablishing the individual as a productive member of the scientific research community. Awards are announced twice a year, and each award is for $50,000.
A list of all award recipients is attached.
Research Corporation is a private foundation, established in 1912, that aids basic research in the physical sciences (astronomy, chemistry and physics) at U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities. As one of the country's first foundations, Research Corporation was incorporated before the term "foundation" came into popular use. Research Corporation's founder, Frederick Gardner Cottrell, was a distinguished scientist, inventor and philanthropist. He continues to serve as a model and inspiration for the scientists who receive these awards today. Research Corporation supports ideas independently proposed by college and university faculty members and carries on activities related to science advancement.

Clock speed means nothing. I'v had computers with slower clock speeds that out perform some with higher clock speeds. It's down to how well the hardware is optimized. Second of all, the Wii U GPGPU is much better than that in the 360 and PS3. It supports DirectX 11 and pixel shader 5.0. #1 Agree(8) | Disagree(5) | Report | Reply sway_z + 1165d ago IMO it doesn't matter how powerful the specs of a console, it's down to the developers to play to its strengths. 360 launched 1 year prior to the arguably more powerful PS3, but because of the 360 attach rate at the time (5 million +) the 3rd party developers coded to the 360 spec, meaning PS3 was not pushed at all, instead receiving shoddy ports just like Wii U receives in 2012. Interestingly, I don't see the same for Nintendo. The 3rd party developers are unlikely to utilize Wii U as the main platform when they don't have to until the next gen from MS/Sony arrive within the next year or so. Wii U would have been better launched late 2009 or early 2010 to really trouble the current gen. My fears for Nintendo are they will have great success with 1st party, but 3rd party development will progress on a new Xbox/PS in the very near future. #2 Agree(3) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply dragunrising + 1164d ago I agree mostly. I think the strength of the console is mostly untapped considering the strengths and weaknesses found by that wii hacker dude. The architecture is different- the ports that have come out, haven't been optimized experiences. In a year or two we should see some much better looking games. The Wii U won't be the most powerful next gen experience in a year however its controller will hopefully give fans an experience that matches or surpasses the competition. I will more than likely buy third party franchise games on other systems, however I greatly anticipate more third party games like Zombie U and Nintendo staples (Zelda, please please and thank you). #2.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply lilbroRx + 1164d ago The technology to make a console that strong at that size and power consumption didn't exist then. #2.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply mondusestatcenen 1165d ago | Spam mondusestatcenen 1165d ago | Spam sway_z + 1165d ago '@sway Your generalizations and generally false information are just as bad as this article.

Slower components do matter why should anyone pay for obsolete tech. #7 Agree(3) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply vallencer + 1165d ago So Closing the comments section of YouTube videos now means something important?? I just thought it meant people didn't want to read all the rude and whiny entitled comments. And people pay for "obsolete tech" because those people just enjoy video games and like to have fun. Not everyone cares about graphics beleive it or not. #7.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply lilbroRx + 1164d ago I always thought they closed it because of all of the perverse 360/PS3 fanboys who would come there leaving derogatory statements where children could see them and doing nothing but bashing and trash talking which is something they've been doing or years. #7.1.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(2) | Report MasterCratosKong66 + 1164d ago are you saying you have never bought anything that would be considered obsolete? #7.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply josephayal + 1165d ago maybe r fasta but What about mario in 1080p? #8 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply wiiulee + 1165d ago lol haters are coming out of everywhere with the same news..they are still not over the wii winning last generation...point is wiiu does better graphics and because of the gamepad its gameplays are years ahead of the competition #9 Agree(2) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply lilbroRx + 1165d ago You gotta love it when journalists use peoples words as facts, while ignoring calls that they being taken out of context by those same people. We already have games that are demonstrating better graphics than the PS3/360 and one that is even demonstrating better physics. Regardless of what clock speeds say, the hardware has shown itself to be stronger even though most devs have had less than 6 months to work with and dev kits are still being optimized. Sadly, unless someone finds a way to penalize media outlets for posting false or misleading information, this will continue to occur. #10 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Ben_Rage_3 + 1164d ago People will believe what they want regardless of the facts. A couple of developers say Wii U is old, slow tech and that's all a person who wants it to be true needs. Even if a more prestigious developers says different, like, "Wii U Aliens: Colonial Marine is best looking version because of consoles more modern tech" <--- direct quote from Borderlands 2 developer 2K. Or when a developer of a game like Trine 2 says, "PS3, 360 can't cope with Trine 2 Wii U graphics." Again this is ignored because some people don't want it to be true.

They will really push limits then but saying developers will do great things with hardware that's more new but still slower than current gen hardware is just foolish. I'd say Wii U games will look great but when the next Xbox and Playstation come out their going to look last gen again just watch. I really don't think the Wii U can hold its own against next gen consoles from Microsoft and Sony. #12 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply shutUpAndTakeMyMoney + 1165d ago weakU.

After buying one a few days ago I dont understand all the hate articles #18 Agree(1) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Grimhammer00 + 1165d ago I'm unsure of how WiiU users or Ninny fanboys can seriously argue that their spanking new console is competitively future forward. Its not just the CPU is slower...the ram is old DDR! Ask yourselves....if the architecture is that easy to program for...why didn't any third party dev get their port to exceed ps360? Why do most of the ports actually perform worse than ps360? And let's forget all that...how is the WiiU going to play 3rd party games that are also on ps360?! You truly think they are going to flip to wiiU as the starting console? Lol Wiiu made that impossible by making their system have a unique pad controller. #19 Agree(3) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply captain_slow82 + 1165d ago my phone has 2 gigs of ram and a 1.5ghz quad core (nexus 4) and this really next gen? i think not lol #20 Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply tweet75 + 1165d ago so i got more joy playing the marios and zeldas on wii than any thing on the much superior xbox and ps3 and that will continue with wii u #21 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply mshope10 + 1165d ago whats funny is people keep bringing this up when it's taking xbox 360 and ps3 6 years to get games to look as good as they are now. mean while some developers like ea had only six months to make games like madden look as good as the other two. and some games look better then those two when it also has to stream info to another screen. so a system with slower cpu clocks speeds just comes out and has to run games on two screens at once.it's launch games are already on par,or better in the graphics department.and has slightly worse, on par, or better frame rates while outputting to two screens with ports of games using current game engines. and people thinks it's weaker!think about stuff before jumping to conclusions.lets what till games use new next gen engines made for its stronger gpgpu and to yins slower cpu. did nobody think man its weird wii u has such a slower cpu and ok gpu speeds and can run black ops two looking better then the other two. how could it do that cause if we go by those speeds its a lot weaker right?how can it keep up.cause wasn't blacks op two be made for the higher cpu?how could it be that much slower and it looks and play so great on two screens at the same time?i guess its magic right? and ive been playing call of duty everyday and it had like two minor frame rate drops that a regular person wouldn't know.and i had both screen going at once. so i think wii u has a great future.and the truth is people are just pissed nintendo has great 3rd party support and there great first person line up on one system! #22 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply captain_slow82 + 1165d ago i got more fun out of iphone games than i did on the wii and ur point is? shitty gimmiks won the race for the wii and now phones do it better lol as much as i dont like to say it iphone will take the win over wii u #23 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Thepcz + 1165d ago this 'low clock speed' malarkey is played out now. wish these so called journalists would learn about computer architecture before they get pen/keyboard happy and publish this garbage #24 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply captain_slow82 + 1165d ago mshope10 ur happy the wii u can get close to 7 year old tech? dude serious optimise my phones cpu an gpu im sure it would be on par with the wii u well more likely better lol #25 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply deletingthis34675334 + 1165d ago Just like the SNES with a slower processor than the Genesis/Megadrive.

That one may have been my favorite as I have often felt there would have been some uncertainties between them before they agreed to get married. I always thought about how they fell for eachother during dangerous and exciting circumstances and whether it would continue to grow or fizzle out. I am sad to see it all come to an end. Thank you for the fun, I truly enjoyed it. I will be giving your Iron Man stories a read soon. Until then...

I take my metaphorical hat off to you and hope you'll come back to the Mummy fandom. It needs more stories like yours.

It aches my heart that you didn't go on. But I guess ill have to try and live with it! Thank you. That was so refreshing! !
| Jennifer chapter 1 . 7/17/2011
I saw the Mummy on TV today, and I decided to check out who all had written on it, even if it has been a while.
I loved this. You have a wonderful way with words and captured some great character moments!
I especially loved how you were able to capture Jonathan's and Evelyn's brother sister relationship. Very clear imagery, and good continuation of the story!

How these two can make every thing get complicated like these?
Poor Jonathan, he should to be paid lol
Wonderfull story, congrats!
| tanner chapter 1 . 4/17/2011
I've searched a long time to find a worthy Rick/Evelyn epilogue to The Mummy and I think I've found it. I can see their relationship progressing as you've described it and i think it fits perfectly with what we saw in the first movie. Thank you for a lovely read!

Vans x Yusuke Hanai Release Exhibition 2/19February 07, 2016 By Thalia Surf - Leave a Comment
On Friday February 19th we'll be hosting the release exhibition of the Vans x Yusuke Hanai Collaboration.
For any of you who are unaware with who Yusuke is and his amazingness here's a brief biography on him.
Yusuke Hanai was born in Japan in 1978. At the age of 17 Yusuke gained a new found passion in art after discovering the Grateful Dead album cover artwork of legendary artist Rick Griffin. In an effort to capture the spirit of Rick Griffin, Jack Kerouac and the '60's counter-culture movement of San Francisco, Yusuke left Japan for the United States in 2003 to study illustration at the Academy of Art College, San Francisco. Yusuke's artistic breakthrough occurred at the '06 Green Room Festival in Yokohama Japan when Laguna Beach based Wil Pennartz, owner/curator of The Surf Gallery was so impressed with Yusuke's sign painting that he invited him to participate in '07 The Happening in New York City. Expanding his illustration and fine art vision beyond his nostalgic roots, Yusuke continues to capture the hearts of many people worldwide. His artistic works have been exhibited in Australia, Brazil, California, London, New York, Paris, and Tokyo. Yusuke is currently living in Japan, where he continues his artistic endeavors as an illustrator/fine artist.
The Vans x Yusuke Hanai Collaboration is inspired by modern mid-century details and illustrations. This collection showcases the Japanese artist's aesthetic and style, while adding a youthful Vans twist.
This is an event you definitely shouldn't miss! Free Tacos and Beer and a live performance by Mattson 2 as well!
Thalia x Jim Olarte x Sano Surf Co.February 05, 2016 By Thalia Surf - Leave a Comment
Last night's dual event was amazingly fun. The turn out was larger than ever and everyone, including some tail waggers, had a ball. Jim Olarte hung out and showed everyone his new radical fiberglass sculptures while the crew from the Sano Surf Co. laid out all of their new, bedazzling brand launch threads. The libations flowed like a rhythmic ceremonial ritual and the rollicking compilation of tunes that played through the speaks had everyone psyched. Some surf celebs showed up to partake in the festivities as well. Tyler Warren, Colin Moran, and Karina Rozunko to name a few. Shop luminaries Andy Nieblas and Blake Hansen spiced up the scene with their inimitable personalities and generous hospitality. A lively time was had by all as you can see in the pictures below.

Dead Kooks Surfboards by Eden SaulDecember 04, 2015 By Thalia Surf - Leave a Comment
Recently Eden Saul of Dead Kooks Surfboards stopped by and dropped off some of his new handcrafted gems. If you're not familiar with Dead Kooks Surfboards and who Eden Saul is here's a brief description of what this magical scene is all about.
Dead Kooks Surfboards are shaped by Eden on the Gold Coast of Australia. The surfboards are beautifully crafted surf machines, completely hand shaped by Mr. Saul and glassed locally [when in the states] at Moonlight Glassing Co. The shapes are retro inspired but with a good modern twist making them super functional and rideable in an array of conditions. And you can't forget the iconic acid resin swirls and color combinations that Dead Kooks is known for. Kooks Not Nukes!
Here are some pics of Eden doin' his thang in the shaping bay and surfing along with those beauts he just dropped off that are now available for you:
Here's Eden in his shaping bay mowing foam, creating yet another amazing board-

If you missed the link above here's a direct link that'll take you to the page where you can grab any one of these amazing creations that were handcrafted by Eden- Dead Kooks
Along with capturing the pics above we were able to sit down with Eden for a few and pick his brain a tad, asking him everything from when he first started shaping to the music he digs. Here's what we got:
1.)When did you first start shaping?
I started shaping when i was about 17 just mucking around and making myself some boards, slowly figured out what i was doing, worked in a few shops cleaning up mess and making some of my own and thats where i really started to get a good grasp of the trade. Been tapping away at it ever since, still enjoying showing up at work everyday and having fun refining the boards i'm making.
2.) Who inspired you to start building surfboards, and name 2 of your favorite shapers of all time and why?
I guess i was inspired most by my mates and the people around me. Growing up in Lennox i had Dan Tomo making me boards when he was just starting out in his dad's shed and i was still in school. I was getting a bunch of fish and random shapes from Dick Van Straalen also and he really opened my mind up, but there was a lot of guys really who i think got my psyched on it. For the most part i was just interested in the process and keen to experiment and see what i could make for myself, what worked and didnt.
Two favourite shapers of all time.. Bob Mctavish, he's the real deal been around for ever, can shape anything, one hands a planer like a master and is still at it with the biggest grin on his face and a crazy amount of enthusiasm and excitement. Second, i dunno, maybe Eric Arakawa or something which is kind of left field, but if you want proper boards for Hawaii he's the guy. He's been at it a long time, look at the guys he has made boards for over the years and its crazy. Very humble and just goes about his work, but he has those curves so dialled and makes some really beautiful refined blades for serious waves.
3.) If there's a particular type of board you like to shape, more than any other, what type of board is it and why?
That seems to change week to week almost.. Ive been making a lot of very particular style of longboard for a while, drawing heavy influence from 67-68 Australian mals, lately though I've been really into refined fish stuff, blending some more modern foils and rails with old templates and seeing where that goes. For the most part it just depends what the waves are doing, what i'm surfing and whats got me excited.
4.) What are your thoughts on pop outs, soft tops, etc types of boards that are sold at cheaper prices compared to boards that are completely hand shaped by a craftsmen like yourself?
It is what it is. I surfed El Porto the other day and this couple were on the beach warming up with their Wavestorms and the pair of them had the fins all in backwards, it was great. The people buying those boards aren't up for spending well over $1000 on a boards so its kind of irrelevant. That said those people seem to clog the line up and get in the way all too often, then again its allowing people to get into surfing and creating a wider customer base so maybe there is so positive side to it, i'm trying to see some good in a pretty ugly side to the mass marketed scene.
5.) A lot of people think boards are expensive. We understand that profit margins for hand shapers is super slim. Are you able to make a decent living off of building surfboards? Do you think there will ever be a time when profit margins will increase for the hand shapers of the world like yourself?
I dont think boards are all that expensive, relative to the time and work that goes into it, the skill and years of experience from the guy shaping it, the laminator, the sander, etc. Its messy, hot, dusty work, its not all that glamorous. There's not a whole lot of guys building boards making big bucks, they are doing it cause they love doing it. I make a living from it but over the last 5 years if i looked at the hours i've put in and what i've made i could off taken a shitty job somewhere and probably made way better cash but I'm happy with what I'm doing and its not all about the bank balance. A lot of people get hung up on the purity of handshapes but i'm sure if you offer them a profiled cut for a few hundred less than a handshape it'd interesting to see just who many want to part with the extra cash. I take my hat off guys like Tyler Hatzikian who are taking the craftsman thing to another level and charging accordingly.
6.) Where's your favorite spot to surf when you're not building boards?
Lennox point, i grew up surfing there its just down the road from home and on its day is up there with about as good as any other righthand point i've found.
7.) Name 3 of your favorite bands that you dig listening to.
Beastie boys, Nick Cave, Brian Jonestown Massacre.
8.) Name 3 of your favorite surfers of all time and why.
Shuan Thompson, I remember wanting old VHS with my dad and was always blown away by his whole approach, his style, he just draws such clean lines and made it work. Joel Tudor for pretty much the same reasons, such a clean and classic style and approach, everyone knows he rules on a log but he gets it done at pipe and some heavier stuff to so credit where its due. Lastly Curren, well he's number one actually, i don't think that even needs an explanation.
9.) What would you consider your biggest triumph to date is?
The life i've created for myself probably. I work a job that i etched out for myself and love doing, I get to make boards for my mates and some of the most talented people going and travel around doing that. I'm pretty happy with how things are.
10.) If you could give one piece of advice to anybody who's thinking about building a surfboard what would it be?
Give it a crack, it's crazy how your first board always seem to go kinda good even though it probably sucks, but you put so much time and love into it that somehow it just works.
The Seager Co. Brand Launch at ThaliaNovember 05, 2015 By Thalia Surf - Leave a Comment
We were able to sit down and do a little interview with the Seager Co. crue and here's what we got.-
When did you start Seager Co. and how did it all begin?
Seager came together pretty organically actually.
We had the same interests and were passionate about Seager so we put our heads together and got to work. And we haven't looked back since. We launched our website this past June and have continued to grow as friends and as a brand.
Name two things that inspired you guys to start Seager and why?
We're all inspired by the values and ways of the Old West as well the simplicity of the surfing lifestyle.
What gave you the idea of doing some collab tees with us and why did you choose our shop for yer launch party?
We knew we wanted to be in Thalia from the get go. It's such a unique shop and its selection of quality brands are exactly what we wanted our product to be surrounded by. So having our launch party there was perfect.
The collab tee came about from a conversation with Nick about Seager and about the future of the brand. To us, the collab tee was a big stepping stone, and something we've always wanted to do. We're stoked with how well the shirt came out.
What other cool stuff do you guys have in the Seager line?
We have a new set of corduroy hats coming out and also a quality jacket that we are pretty damn excited to release. There are a lot things in the works that you should keep an eye out for.
Where's seager based out of?
We like to think of it as a two-headed company based out of La Jolla and Newport Beach.
On a given day do you grab your log, retro style fish hybrid, high performance shortboard or does it completely depend?
It depends on the swell and on who you askin. We'll usually bring our logs and retro single fins out and make a nice day of it
