May Day embraced as 'Lei Day' with island accents
April 26, 2013
By Trisha Kehaulani Watson, Native Hawaiian Liaison Office, U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii
HONOLULU (April 26, 2013) -- It is often the first gesture of aloha newcomers to the islands encounter: the lei greeting.
Every year the state celebrates this gesture of welcome and aloha on May 1st, a day celebrated across the world in celebration of spring, but known in Hawai'i as Lei Day.
The tradition of the lei exists throughout Polynesia.
Pacific Islanders have used different techniques to create lei from native plants and flowers for thousands of years. One can travel extensively throughout the Pacific and find indigenous people crafting garlands to wear.
The lei (both the singular and plural version of the word) is known as "hei" in Tahiti and "ei" in the Cook Islands.
The island cultures also share crafting techniques. Common lei making techniques are haku (braiding), wili (twisting or coiling), hilo (a twisting technique to make a rope lei) and kui (lei made with needles by piercing flowers or shells).
Lei are usually a sign of kindness and affection. Hawaiian cowboys, known as paniolo, were known to make beautiful, fragrant lei as they returned from their long work shifts on mountain ranches or farms. The paniolo were known to haku mele, to write Hawaiian songs about the objectives of their affective, often comparing the women to beautiful flowers or lei.
Today, the lei remains an internationally recognized symbol of Hawai'i and the Hawaiian culture.
The "Lei Day" tradition began in 1928 after local writer Don Blanding publicly suggested the formation of a formal state holiday that celebrated the island custom. Now, 85 years later, the holiday continues to be celebrated across the islands with festivals, lei making contests and May Day pageants held in schools across Hawai'i.
On the island of O'ahu, an annual Lei Day Celebration is held every May 1st, regardless of the day of the week. The celebration includes both a Lei Contest and a Lei Queen Contest. Per contest rules, "The lei queen must be knowledgeable in the art of lei making, hula and be able to convey the spirit of aloha with warmth and dignity."
The Lei Queen presides over the celebration, which includes the Lei Contest.
May 1st marks the opening of a busy season for lei makers. As lei are custom at important occasions, impromptu lei stands pop up as roadsides and outside schools as the community celebrates Mother's Day, graduations and other important spring and summer events.
Some of the finest displays of lei making expertise occur the first week of June, when the King Kamehameha celebration takes places. The celebration includes the creation of many 26-feet lei, which are draped over the famed Kamehameha Statute that stands across from 'Iolani Palace in front of the State Supreme Court building during a formal ceremony on Friday, June 8th.
The lei are considered ho'okupu, or traditional offerings, made in remembrance of the king.
The King Celebration Parade, which takes place this year on June 9th, is also an extraordinary display of lei making skills. The parade is known for its pa'u riders, traditional Hawaiian groups elaborately dressed in historic costumes and riding horseback, who adorn themselves and their horses in thick, beautiful lei.
While May Day may have begun as a celebration of spring, in Hawai'i, it is a celebration of all the things that make the islands such a unique and beautiful place to live.

While many of us in places like the United States take an ample supply of hot and cold running water in our comfortable Minneapolis bathroom remodels for granted, we enjoy luxurious circumstances in comparison with many other global citizens, and the wasteful way we use water is coming with a high-long term price.

I don't know if this is the right place where to post, and please excuse me if it isn't, but I am looking everywhere on the net to see how much my hardware and system are consuming but I am having difficulty finding the information.
Dear forum,
I am working on Intel Xeon processor E5-2670 having 2.6GHZ Clock speed and no. of core 8. Its maximum TDP IS 115W. Currently cpu usage is 98%. based on this information, I have some queries as follows.
1. At the given cpu usage, what is the TDP of cpu?
2. what is the maximum range of recommended TDP at actual operating condition.
3. is there any relation available between cpu usage and TDP?, if available please mention it.
While this forums about power efficiency on mobile platforms I would like to ask a question about Sandy Bridge EP. If this forum is a wrong place could you point to the right one.
Hello everyone,
it's surprising me that there are two different offsets for the MSR "PACKAGE_ENERGY_STATUS".
In "4th-gen-core-family-desktop-vol-2-datasheet.pdf" it says the offset should be 593Ch
In "xeon-e5-v3-datasheet-vol-2" it says the offset should be 0x90.
Both processors should be based on haswell. why there is a so big difference?
And i can not find any information about this MSR in "64-ia-32-architectures-software-developer-manual-325462". Has not been updated?
Best Regards,
Sorry if this platform is not right for this particular question.
I want to calculate the power of the running applications on intel atom (Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2758 @ 2.40GHz). Is there any tools that can help me perform this task?
I was looking for a way to monitor the power efficiency on a visualized server environment. I did try Power Gadget on a Windows server 2008 R2 but it didn't work. Is it a way to configure the tool in order to be able to get real consumption out of the host machine?
the main hypervisors I target are VMware ESX/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V 2008/2012.
Thanks in advance.
I'm using 2 PCs that has Intel's 3517UE @ 1.7GHz:
1. ADLINK's IBE2 (Com Express Type 2) http://www.adlinktech.com/PD/web/PD_detail.php?cKind=&pid=1235
2. Intense PC (http://www.fit-pc.com/web/products/intense-pc/)
The 2 PCs are booted with Win7-64
Can we find out how many application are launched in a day on Android?
I have a basic question:
I'm using Linux (Ubuntu) and CPU I7.
The current CPU frequency is 1200hz, the maximum CPU frequency is 2100hz.
My Q is as follows:
Does Linux (or the INTEL CPU's) increase the CPU frequency when the system is loaded ?
(i.e when the total CPU's are 70% loaded (for example) , Does the OS (without the user interference) may increase the CPU freq from 1200 to the max freq 2100, in order to decrease the load on the CPU's ?) (and without the user interference) ?
I performed an experiment that involves measuring instruction retirement rate and power consumption against reported CPU frequency and for on the P-state settings, the reported CPU frequency is not consistent with the results I am seeing.

Barnes & Noble add Google Play Store to Nook HD tablets
Barnes & Noble announced on Friday that the Nook HD and Nook HD+ will now feature the Google Play Store. Yes, the eReader that became a quasi-Android tablet has become a full-fledged Android tablet.
The Google Play Store will be available immediately for download from bn.com and will be deployed to devices via a Wi-Fi update in the next few days. Once installed, users will have access to apps such as Gmail, Chrome, YouTube, and more.
By adding Google Play to NOOK HD and NOOK HD+, we are offering our customers even more great entertainment on our award-winning tablets," said William Lynch, chief executive officer of Barnes & Noble. "Now with access to more than 700,000 apps and the best reading experience available, NOOK HD and NOOK HD+ are must-see products for entertainment lovers looking for high-quality tablets at incredibly low prices."
It's unclear, exactly, as to why B&N decided to integrate the full breadth of Google Play apps and services however the most likely scenario is pressure and competition. With other Android tablets offering more hardware for less money, and access to B&N NOOK apps, the Nook HD has struggled to sell as well.

The presidential debate was quite one sided due to the fact that Mitt Romney was able to point out so many inconsistencies and broken promises by the President. What was truly fascinating was how unprepared Mr. Obama was in terms of dealing with these questions. This is further evidence that the mainstream media has never confronted the President on what he has been saying on the campaign trail. Unchallenged false claims and unfulfilled promises never spoken of, have done a disservice to the electorate. This has left a tremendous void that was filled by Mr. Romney in the debate, and the media should be ashamed.
Obama and his surrogates have been throwing around this claim for months about how Romney's plan would increase taxes on the middle class by $2,000 per family. This charge has even been repeated by the media, and there is almost no basis for divining what Romney would do to make sure his proposed tax cuts did not add to the deficit. Mr. Romney had to repeatedly tell the President, in the debate, that he was misstating what the former Governor would do under these circumstances. After the debate, someone said this was akin to the President saying for months that Romney planned to invade Canada. Maybe a Pentagon reporter might have asked a question about this severe a charge…?
The President repeated a line, in the debate, that he likes to use about record drilling of oil and Natural gas under his presidency. Mitt Romney challenged this and made the point that this expansion has taken place on private lands, which the President can't stop. He went on to say that the President has cut in half the number of permits that have been given to drillers during his presidency. Maybe this fact might stir some curiosity in some DC newsroom…?
The President said that companies get a tax deduction for shipping jobs overseas, and that he would close that loophole. Mr. Romney responded by saying that despite being in business for 25 years, he is not aware of this tax break. In fact, he suggested that if it were true he might have to get a new accountant. What the President might be referring to is that fact that we have the highest corporate tax rates in the world. That is not a loophole to send jobs overseas, that's The USA losing its competitive edge in attracting businesses. Perhaps a cub reporter for a financial network perks up…?
The president was challenged on his 2008 campaign promises to…
The likely media explanation for not confronting the President on these issues…
If these challenges were incorrect, we will be hearing the media fact-check machine kick into high gear over the next week. If, however, this does not happen, then there has been a major lack of reporting on the issues which Mr. Romney confronted the President.
The press has often been called the 4th branch of government, which is a reference to their importance in keeping the 3 branches honest. The reason we had such a startling, and one sided debate for the Presidency is due to the failing of that branch. The members of the press who have had an opportunity to challenge this president, and haven't, should be ashamed today. The truth is they're probably not.
The Main Stream Media are liars when they report news that is not true or reliable especially when it comes to Obama. They have coddled him and paise everything he says and does. They truly believe that most of America is stupid. There are so many ways to get news of the day than to listen to a bunch of left wing liberals who are not ashamed to lie or misstate the truth. Msnbc is about the worst that I can mention as they continually lie about everything and the edit tapes and then they try to say they didn't say it. This is a really pathetic situation and I can't imagine what they will do if Obama is not re-elected. When George Bush was President they villified him at every trun no matter what he did. They even called him names, yet if someone says anything negative about Obama they first say it's racist or have respect for the office of the President. This only applies if you are a left wing liberal or the main stream media. If people want to vote they should educate themselves so that after they vote they are not sorry. Although in today's political atmosphere it is really not a question. If you want this country run by a marxist who will destroy it, or vote for the other guy who at least knows how to run a business and wasn't a community organizer or a fraud.
Yes I agree. If we could change one thing about our current state of affairs in America, I vote for accountability in the media. In this age of techonology, many facts reported by the MSM can be instantaneously verified for accuracy. Are there no MSM reporters that see the consequences of their manipulative actions? They left poor Obama defensless against the facts!
Good luck waiting for the media to be ashamed. They still think they're unbiased.
Why he needed prepping?
answer, No teleprompter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! How did I miss THAT one?!?!
We are in agreement. Obama could have been blowing bubbles on the stage on 10/02. The MSM is there for him and he had no fear about what would be reported Also "Mr. Teleprompter" wasn't with him and it made MSM'S job harder. Maybe I am too cynical but could he have known about the unemployment numbers and the calulation changes? Therefore he knew something good was in the works for today 10/05.!!!!! He didn't have to study hard. I quess I am over thinking. ( Ohhhhhhhhhh WAS it the video that caused the riots in the middle east? Has that been corrected?? ) Obama's performance during the debate did make me happy because sooooooo many people watched it and many had their eyes opened. Perhaps they saw our president more clearly.
The lack of media "pushing" this administration is part of the reason Obama did so badly in the debate. He has been spoiled by the MSM into thinking that if he says it, it will not be challenged. Welcome to the real world Mr. President!
Exactly what I was thinking. Doing the popular kid's homework for him does not make Mr. Popular do well on exams. It is final exam time and Odumbo is failing.
I don't even understand his "prepping" thing. As President of the United States for nearly four full years, don't you think he should KNOW the issues? Oh, what am I thinking–it's hard to attend briefings and focus on issues when you're out playing golf!
Let's just hope he flunks out in November!!!!!

Justin Masterson Needs Dave Duncan-Like Intervention
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Justin Masterson followed a mediocre debut with the team August 2 with a horrid performance six days later that showed the Cardinals coaching staff might need to take a page or two out of the book of a previous coach who worked wonders with pitchers in such positions.

Cardinals fan meme questioned
The New York Yankees just finished a three game series in St. Louis against the Cardinals. The Yankees took two of the three game and thus had a successful series. The two fan bases are fun to compare. You cannot deny that the Cardinals have something special in St. Louis. The sea of red is everywhere and not city supports their team better.

He looks FANTASTIC! And working alongside your very own dynamic duo... (though, Zombie Clown Girl and Frog Girl are pretty dynamic too)
Yeah, I decided to use a couple from my more "serious" EARTH: HERO universe.

I have a question. We are brahmins. My uncle who is elder brother to my father has expired a few months ago. He has the same surname as we have. Now it is said in vedas that we must follow one year suthakam right. Does it applies to his children or all gollakota[our surname] people? Are we eligible to celebrate festivals in this one year or not? Please do clarify my doubt. thanks

i am nambisan residing in kannur district of kerala. i had my upanayanam. my father being an atheist did not put me through the brahmanical rituals. now after completing my graduation i am feeling incomplete as a brahmin. i even dont know whether i am a rig vedi or other ones. i want to live like a brahmin, not because it is the most superior one, instead it gives u opening to the world of great knowledge. please sir help me out.Replies
Great to see this post. I know many people who have started learning vedas after 18- 20 years. It is just a matter of getting a Guru. Start searching for a learned person who can guide you near your place.Delete

Mata Ortiz: The Untold Stories
Reveals true and inclusive stories previously overlooked
Silver City, New Mexico October 1, 2015
Filmmaker Ron Goebel presents a new documentary shot on location in Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua, Mexico. Interviews with artists and researchers native to the region reveal the town's accurate and complete history which has up to now been clouded by outside myths.
Through moving interviews and extensive research, Mata Ortiz: The Untold Stories presents a rare look at the true history of a remarkable village. Revelations by researchers Julián Hernández and Jim Hills, by archaeologist Fabiola Silva, and by artists including Marisela Ortiz and Diego Valles bring to light an older, more inclusive, more widespread Mata Ortiz pottery movement than has previously been put forward.
Award-winning artists including Laura Bugarini, Héctor Gallegos, Jr. and Carla Martínez shine as they discuss their art and village life. Young potters share their passion for innovation. New sculptor Martín Cota opens up about moving from clay into bronze sculpture. Potter/guitarist Elí Navarrete provides traditional Mexican music throughout.
"Manuel Olivas was the first modern potter to use Paquimé motifs in the region. He started in 1952." ---Professor Julián Hernández
"Juan Quezada was not the first potter in Mata Ortiz. My nephew Félix Ortiz was first. And then his brother Emeterio." ---Jesús Ortiz Aguilera
"We would be so proud if people would recognize our father Félix Ortiz for whom he was, a master potter…a pioneer of Mata Ortiz pottery."---Marisela Ortiz
In thanking the film makers, Professor Hernández says, "We thank you. You are our voice and you are like messengers from the artists, from the potters and not only the potters, all the people."
The Southwest New Mexico Green Energy and Jobs Stakeholder Board will consist of thirteen local government appointees from Catron, Grant, Hidalgo, and Luna counties, the City of Bayard, Village of Columbus, City of Deming, Town of Hurley, City of Lordsburg, Village of Reserve, Village of Santa Clara, Town of Silver City, and Village of Virden along with twelve applicant selectees from the business, utility, school, and community at large sectors. The Stakeholder Board members will serve a four year term with the understanding that if he/she misses more than three consecutive meeting or more than half of the meetings in a fiscal year without being excused from the Board shall be regarded as being in non-compliance and must be replaced.
The Board will:
The Board shall promulgate and adhere to policies and procedures that govern its conduct. A member or designee shall perform his/her duties as a member, including his/her duties as a member of any committee of the Board upon which he/she may serve, in good faith, in a manner he/she believes to be in the best interests of the Region and implementation of the Regional Strategic Plan.

Vivienne Nicoll, Local government correspondent / / News
A charity has welcomed Glasgow's plans to revamp day care services for adults with learning disabilities.
But it has called on the city council to listen to the concerns of people affected by the move.
The council is consulting on plans to close centres at Berryknowes, Summerston and Hinshaw Street, at Queen's Cross, which accommodate about 130 people each weekday.
Social work bosses say some of the centres are in poor condition and offer limited services.
They say reforming how the service operates would provide more opportunity for people in mainstream centres, would allow them to get involved in other activities and would also save money.
The move has been backed by Jo Armstrong, chairwoman of learning disability charity Enable Scotland.
She said: "We welcome the modernisation, but we call on the council to ensure those affected are listened to, understood and reassured that the alternatives made available to the 320 people continue to deliver the outcomes people value so highly."
Anne MacKinnon, chairwoman of Enable Glasgow, said: "We would call on Glasgow City Council to ensure anyone affected by changes to day service provision has a full assessment and is offered an appropriate alternative service before they lose the day centre place they have depended upon.
Promoted stories
"Failure to do so is likely to result in isolation, distress and, ultimately, to additional demand on services elsewhere in the sector.
"Many of the people who will be affected if Glasgow City Council proceeds with its plans will be older family carers and their sons and daughters who live in the family home. We know this group are often particularly dependent on services and so will be especially anxious about the proposed changes."
Matt Kerr, the council's spokesman for social work, insisted the council would listen to the views of everyone involved.
He accepted the change would be worrying for some people but added: "We are not in the business of closing centres without replacement services being made available.
"That would be a disaster and that is why we are not going down that route. Nothing will close without alternatives being available.
"The consultation finishes at the end of January but this will be a long- running process as it could take over 12 months to get everyone's needs properly assessed.
"Services will be in place before we think of closing anything."

(a) Is the Minister aware of the comments on 15 August 2012 on WIN TV regarding a story on a measles epidemic, by Ms Dorey of the "Australian Vaccination Network", that vaccines have been linked to autism? (b) If yes, what action has the Minister taken to correct the public record?
Does the Minister have a view on the ongoing activities of the "Australian Vaccination Network"?
I am advised:
and (2) The Australian Vaccination Network has not provided accurate information to parents about the risks and benefits of immunisation. Any link between the measles vaccine and autism has been conclusively discredited by numerous studies and reviews by credible experts, including the World Health Organisation, the American Academy of Paediatrics and the UK Medical Research Council. In 2013, the NSW Ministry of Health will be implementing an immunisation awareness campaign to educate and inform the community and immunisation providers about the importance of ensuring that children are fully immunised on time, including for measles.

Artison's Sketch LCR DualMono speakers deliver compelling sound for your music, TV shows, games, and movies, using the same patented technology found in their higher-end Masterpiece and Portrait models. Artison designed these to mount right onto the sides of your ultra-thin TV, to give you great sound from speakers that look like they're a part of the TV frame. Measuring a mere 2" deep with grilles, they're an ideal match for most flat-panel TVs with screens 46" or larger.
Artison's DualMono® technology makes it possible to get an engrossing front soundstage from just two speaker cabinets instead of the traditional three. It does this by using a dedicated driver in each speaker to handle center channel sound, effectively anchoring dialogue to the middle of your screen. A separate driver in each speaker handles left and right channel sound, while dual tweeters positioned at the center of the speaker add detailed highs to your movies and TV shows. Plus, each Sketch LCR DualMono uses one of Artison's side-firing tweeters to expand the soundstage and envelope you in rich sound.
Attach a pair of Sketch LCR DualMono speakers to just about any flat-panel TV using the included universal mounting bar and your TV's standard wall-mounting holes. Artison custom-builds the grilles to line up evenly with the top and bottom of your TV screen, for a fully integrated look. Use our Artison Custom Grille Finder to add the grilles to your order.
Add Artison surround speakers and an Artison subwoofer for exciting wraparound effects and hard-hitting bass. You can also check out Artison's in-wall surrounds and subs.
Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center.

LCR DualMono Speaker: The Artison Sketch LCR is a 3-channel (Left, Center, and Right) passive LCR loudspeaker speaker system which delivers the left, center, and right audio information of your AV surround sound system from two speakers designed to mount directly to your flat-panel television. The Artison Sketch LCRs are designed to complement any flat panel display (46"-up) and eliminate the need for a separate center-channel speaker either above or below the display. This is possible through DualMono Center channel technology which integrates two discrete speakers on either side of a flat-panel display that both reproduce the monaural center-channel signal. The dual speaker approach places the apparent source of the sound in the center of the picture where it belongs and eliminate the need for a third speaker (center-channel) which usually sits above or below the TV. The DualMono Center Channel provides an easy installation of just two speaker enclosures which are more aesthetically appealing and yet still deliver the three discrete front channels for your home theater surround sound. The Artison Sketch LCR features a universal mounting bracket system which allows it to attach to the left and right side of your flat-panel TV. A custom LCR grille (sold separately), designed to match your TV, gives the illusion that the speakers are apart of your television.
Note: The Artison Sketch LCR is compatible with flat-panel TVs (46"-up) which measure 40.5"-68.5" (wide) x 25.4"-up (height) x 0.28"-4.4" (depth).
DualMono Center Channel: The Artison Sketch LCRs feature a unique, patented DualMono Center Channel which improves the reproduction of the audio. The DualMono Center Channel design focuses the acoustic image so the sound comes from the center of the screen; while the left and right channels provide a wide-accurate sound stage. Two dedicated drivers located in the upper half of the left and right channel enclosures work together to project crisp, clear dialogue from the center of the screen where it belongs. The Artison Sketch LCRs left and right channels provide the wide-accurate sound stage you want from a home theater speaker system.
Polypropylene Midranges: Each Artison Sketch LCR features two 4.5" long-throw polypropylene midrange drivers with an inverted magnet for accurate midbass response.
Super Audio Tweeters: Each Artison Sketch LCR employs two 1" silk-dome Super Audio Tweeters for exceptional high frequency response.
Stage Tweeters: There is a 1" silk-dome stage tweeter, positioned on the outside edge of each LCR speaker which provides a wider dispersion of the front-channel effects beyond the physical placement of the speakers. The Stage Tweeters widen the left & right channel separation by directing high frequencies (6kHz-up), against the adjacent rear wall that your flat-panel TV is mounted on.
Stage Tweeter Control: There is a Stage Tweeter Switch on the front baffle of each speaker which allows you to turn the Stage Tweeter 'on' or 'off'. In most applications, the Stage Tweeter should be set to "on". Turn the Stage Tweeter "off" when the speakers and your flat-panel TV are flush mounted into recessed cabinetry.
Independent Crossovers: Each driver features an independent crossover for better overall performance.
Aluminum Cabinet: The Artison Sketch LCRs features a black anodized aluminum cabinet that resists vibration.
Acoustic Suspension Enclosure: The LCR utilizes an acoustic suspension enclosure design for tight, accurate bass response.
Separate Air Chambers: The enclosure features independent air chambers for each driver for better accuracy.
Speaker Connections: Each Artison Sketch LCR will require two discrete audio signals from an external multi-channel amplifier. Each Artison LCR features two pair of gold-plated spring-post terminals (Front Right or Left, and Center).
Recommended Speaker Wire: The speaker wire gauge required is depending upon wire length run; 16 Gauge is suggested as the minimum size.
Mounting: The Artison Sketch LCRs are designed to attach directly to many flat-panel displays (46"-up) via the television's threaded wall-mount inserts. The Artison Sketch's universal mounting bracket system lets you attach the LCR speaker to your table-top or wall-mounted flat-panel TV. The universal mounting bracket system includes 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm hardware.
Note: The Artison LCRs may also be mounted directly to a wall using its integrated speaker bracket (hardware not supplied for this install).
Foam Blocks: The included self-adhesive foam blocks provide both damping for the mounting system and stabilizes the speaker.
Custom Grilles: LCR Grilles (sold separately) are available to match the height and complement the color (black or grey) of select flat-panel displays from 46" (diagonal) and above. Please check Crutchfield's Artison Custom Grille Finder for your television's custom LCR grilles.
Note: No grilles are included with speaker.
Optional In-Wall Kit: The Artison LCR DM In-Wall kit (733LCRDMIW, sold separately) lets you mount the Artison LCR DualMono speakers in your wall. The in-wall LCR-DM Kit keeps the closed-back design of the LCR DualMono speakers which ensures that the performance of the speaker is maintained, independent of the wall cavity size or wall construction type.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Tennessee death row inmate who has been ruled competent enough to decide the course of his case continues his post-conviction appeals in the deaths of two workers at a fast food restaurant.
Paul Dennis Reid was convicted of killing seven people at fast food restaurants in a 1997 crime spree in Nashville and Clarksville. But his attorney, Kelly Gleason, said Reid's mental competency needs to be re-evaluated.
During a hearing in Davidson County Criminal Court Monday, Gleason said Reid believes he's getting out of jail on June 1 and thinks she is an actress.
The petition he filed argues ineffective counsel because Reid believes he was under surveillance by secret government agencies and his trial lawyers should have found tapes that prove his innocence.

Peering points between different network providers are among the
bottlenecks of the Internet.Two technical solutions to bypass them
are content delivery networks (CDN) and multihoming(MH). While
quality of data delivery can thus be improved, there is no research
thatanalyses the economic effects of those technologies on the
Internet. This paper argues thatCDNs and MH reduce the commodity
nature of data being transported on the Internet andput terminating
Internet service providers (ISPs) in a position to engage in
pricediscrimination. By formalizing CDNs and MH as facilitators of
price discrimination we showthat - in a static model with locked in
end users and paid content - ISPs will exploit theirmarket power and
generate profits. As a consequence ISPs have incentives to
degradeordinary peering quality and shift demand to higher quality
methods of access to EUs such asCDN and MH.

I absolutely dislike the cherry flavour so I repurchased the unflavored version in the blue and white tube. I like it as its much more moisturizing than most of the other lip balms I've come acrossed, and works the best on my very dry lips. I wish it were cheaper though. It cost me USD 2.5 when I could have bought a 49g Vasaline tub at only USD 1.2 and used it a hundred times over compared to the tube lip blam which I finished pretty quickly as I reapply every time after I eat. I would give it a 5, but one thing that bothers me greatly about the lip balm is how hard it is to squeeze out the product when the tube is left with around 1/3 empty. Perhaps they should come up with better packaging.

I buy this because of the raves but it really dries up my lips.
This is the worst lip balm I've ever tried.
Smells nice and got a little bit sweet taste, after application feels the lips moisturized.. after a while it will dried up n makes my lips become hard.
My lips becomes so dry n cracked like hell until it bleeds when I try to open my mouth.
Never been like this before when I used other lip balms.
Not going to repurchase.

This is so inexpensive and works really well in moisturising my lips. My only complaint is that it is really hard to unscrew the cap for the very first time.

This is the first lip treatment/lip balm that actually helps with my extremely dry and cracked lips. I also love it because when I use it I don't need gloss anymore. It provides the shine.That said, I don't like the greasyness so much but it is not much greasy-er compared to other lip balms. One con that I find in this product is that in humid weather it melts easily resulting in an oil type of liquid instead of a more gel based. So whenever I use it I have to be careful in case I squeeze out too much it might drip. If I don't use this in 2 days my lips will start to crack. Will definitely keep using this.

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this! This is so amazing and only for what? 99 cents. That's right. 99 cents! I've tried many lip balms and chapsticks, but this is up there on my top 5. :] The hole that the balm comes out of it veryyy tiny, which gives you more control! I just applied this, and it feels amazing. I hadn't put on lip balm for about 2 days, ACK. My lips were dried and cracking. But when I put this on, it took immediate effect! I def. recommend this to anyone.

This is ok. It isn't moisturizing enough for frequent use - it does the minimum to get me through when I absolutely need something. I bought it because I'm always looking for the perfect lip balm and because I am especially interested in one that doesn't require dipping a finger or brush into a pot. This was dirt cheap and tempted me with the cherry flavor. Though it's not moisturizing enouhgh, its texture and taste (hardly noticeable, silky gel like feel) are superior to many. It will do in a pinch but is far from perfect.

it didnt work for me at all.. i was very thrilled to try it since i heard a lot.. yet i gave it a great chance wearing it for a month.. i didnt like the texture at all.. way too light.. nor the smell.. nor the affect (in my case hardly any). i immediately went back to my fav Body Shop Cocoa lip care stick.. it works the best for me!

I have bought way more expensive lip products, vaselinels cherry lip therapy does a better job. Other products usually have petroleum in it anyway. This stuff makes my lips so soft and with a hint of cherry! i cant live without this stuff...i cant believe something this good is worth 99cents!
