Price Tag Cage Match: Boots No7 Make-up Base vs. Everything Else
Review of Boots No7 Make-up Base
So I was wandering the cosmetics aisles in Target the other day and came across what looked like one of my 2008 wishes come true — a drugstore-brand foundation primer. Specifically, Boots No7 Mattifying Make-Up Base, priced at a delicious $9.99.
Now, Target brags that Boots is the U.K.'s number-one cosmetics line, and why would Target lie to a person? Of course, if we were to export the U.S.'s number-one line, I'm guessing we'd be talking…Maybelline? Or Cover Girl? But still. $9.99! For a nice-sized bottle! I practically did a little jig right there.
Boots has two primers — a basic white cream and a green-tinted correcting version for overly-red complexions. I tested the green one on the back of my hand and…holy lord, is that stuff GREEN. It didn't absorb very much and made my skin look sickly and, well, green. There's no way my face needs that much tint, so I opted for the other one.
And I'm just going to skip all the crap and tell you now: I've used this stuff over two different moisturizers and under three different foundations. And. It's awful. Possibly one of the worst products I've tried in awhile, and I am kind of baffled. Did anyone…like, try this stuff before they bottled it up for sale?
A good foundation primer can do any number of helpful things. It can fill in and minimize fine lines, absorb oil and shine, even out a blotchy skin tone AND keep your foundation out of your pores to prevent blemishes. Even if you love your moisturizer and foundation, adding the right primer is like installing a supercharger under the hood of your Lamborghini.
The Boots base does not seem to do any of these things. While it comes out of the bottle like a cream, it smears on very dry and streaky — like a diaper rash cream with cornstarch. I couldn't figure out if I was supposed to keep rubbing it in (like the green version, it doesn't absorb easily) or leave the white gunk visible on my skin. After using it, my fingers are covered with white pilly bumps and my face looks flaky and dry…but the flakes are actually the primer.
When applying liquid foundation over a primer like Smashbox or Clarins, your skin's surface should be silky and impossibly smooth. It's very easy to get an even, natural-looking coat of make-up. Applying my Sue Devitt over the Boots was like…man, I still can't come up with a good metaphor. Like putting makeup on a dirty car? Or a cinderblock? My make-up was streaky and the Boots base pilled up MORE with every stroke of the foundation brush or my fingers. Everything was just dry, dry and more dry.
It does live up to one of its promises, however, which is no shine or oil. Since the stuff goes on sooooo dry it absorbs every speck of oil your face may produce during the day. So perhaps if your face is oily (and I mean EXTREMELY oily, like one big oil slick all day and all night), this stuff might work for you.
With the anti-shine factor in mind, I pulled out some powdered Bare Escentuals foundation and tried that over the Boots. (I get really shiny with the mineral make-ups if I don't prime first.) And…yuck. I took extra care to fight with the texture of the Boots to get it on evenly and smoothly, but then blotting with the powder brush undid all that and I got the weird pills and flakes all over the place. It caked up around my eyebrows, made my cheeks look like they had chunks of skin flaking off, and…yeah. Yuck.
I keep waiting for some drugstore brand to reverse-engineer a bottle of Smashbox and offer a cheaper version — and I feel like one day that WILL happen and I WILL find it and I WILL buy it and spend all that money I save on some wine. But sadly for us all, that day is not today. Thanks for trying, Boots, but I think you may want to go back to the drawing board.

The thing about Boots is that it's just a drugstore in the UK… like CVS or Walgreens. So basically Target is carrying the UK equivalent of a storebrand/generic. They're marketing it all oooh fancy British! But ultimately, it's nothing special.
That being said, I am in love with their Stay Perfect Lip Lacquer, and I highly recommend it.

British person here. Hello.
You wrote: "Of course, if we were to export the U.S.'s number-one line, I'm guessing we'd be talking…Maybelline? Or Cover Girl?"
Well, you do. And I'm surprised they don't sell better than Boots No7 brand!
There is one Boots product that has sold very well over here. I think it's called 'No7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum'. It's supposed to reduce the appearance of pores and wrinkles and whatnot. I think it's popularity has a lot to do with it's pro-retinol content.
It's upsetting enough that US beauty products mysteriously double in price by the time they reach the UK, but it's even more infuriating to see that UK products halve in price when they make it over to you in the States!
It's no wonder us Brits have a reputation for looking so rough, we just can't afford the products!

I have a confession… I use Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-gel as my face primer. ( I KNOW, but, seriously, hear me out. . . )
I LOVED the Smashbox primer, but it ain't cheap. I would have kept buying Smashbox primer anyway, because it is magically wonderful stuff and is everything Amalah has promised. But! Somewhere in the blogosphere I read a recommendation to try the chafing relief gel as a substitute. For seven measly bucks (!), I'd thought it'd be worth a try. And it? IS AWESOME.
The gel is completely clear and looks and feels just like Smashbox primer. It makes my face feel like satin, it totally cuts any shine, and makes my foundation stay put. I've even cheated and used it on my eyelids to help my eye makeup stay where it belongs. I have exactly precisely religiously identical results with the powder-gel as I did with the Smashbox primer. No breakouts, no allergic reactions, no weeping into a martini when it all went horribly wrong. Just more cash in the knock-off handbag I bought before Amalah told us not to.
I am not generally one to use products for anything but their intended uses, much less to use on my sensitive (and always visible) face, but I rationalized that this product was meant to be used on some rather, er, delicate areas , and threw caution to the wind.
I now use the chafing gel as my primer every time I wear makeup, and happily spend all the money I save, and then some, on the Philosophy skin care line which I also adore.
(Thank you Amalah for the beauty blessings you bestow! I swear I would not recommend that your readers put something made by Monistat on their pretty faces unless it really worked!)

Ooo- they offer a free sample, and I heart free samples: http://www.monistat.com/soothingcare/request_sample_buffer.htm

Fidget, your comments had me laughing my head off.
FYI: the ever-radiant-and-youthful Marylou Whitney uses Vagisil as a face cream, and I am sure she could afford the Smashbox.
I, myself, love the Smashbox, but hoard every drop because I don't want to have to sell a cornea to buy the next bottle at Sephora. And Monistat is covered under our Flexible Spending Plan! Whoo-ee!
Now that you mention it Fidget, they do have the exact same texture! I got the Smashbox primer as a free sample when ordering my Make-Up Free Skin kit at Sephora, and that's my only experience with it. I wear makeup for weddings and funerals, and that's about it. Maybe 2-3 times a month? So I've never worried too much about priming my face for the make-up that would never follow. I can say that the Monistat chafe relief gel is a godsend! My thighs don't "kiss" they get into an all out battle if I'm not wearing pants (remember the line from Steel Magnolias? "Looks like two pigs fighting under a blanket"? That comes to mind. . .) Anyway, I previously would never dream of wearing a skirt, it would be nice for a bit but by the end of the day I'd have red sore thighs that would take a day or two to recover. Since buying the gel I'm a skirt convert, and wear them all summer long. I usually toss the tube in my purse for a mid-day application, depending on how humid it is and how much walking I was doing. (A day at work? Morning application only. A day walking around Disney World? probably need a touch-up at some point.) I never would have thought it could do double duty, I'll have to try it out!

I also googled it and lots of others claim it works well and blocks oil! Yes!!!!
Thanks Fidget!

I can't speak for the makeup base but their mascaras are amazing!

I also love the Smashbox primer – but it is so expensive. My "secret" – I don't know if it really is one – is that I buy it on Ebay. I can usually find it for $15-$20 instead of the $42 it is at Sephora. Worth a try!
Alli Jan 22 at 3:11 pm Reply
Please please please please do a Cage Match! Not that I don't trust Fidget, but I'd love a break down of how the Monistat works like only Amalah can give! I mean, it may go on and feel like Smashbox, but is it noncomogenic? Does it do all the rest of the tricks Smaskbox does? Thin little wallets want to know!

Yes, yes, a Monistat v. Smashbox (v. Dr. Brandt, please?) Cage Match!

Okay I saw this way too late but I just had to say that the Boots brand eye makeup remover cream is the best I've ever used in my entire life. Gentle, doesn't sting, isn't greasy or gross. But I don't think they have carried that over to the states, but maybe they have. If not, then this qualifies as one of the most useless comments ever. Carry on.

Fidget, this is hilarious! I am SO gonna try it! Just wish those free samples were still being given out.
This might be the best beauty secret evah.

I'm kinda late, I had to join just to comment. I love your site!! Not a huge fan of boots either, and I'm going to try this beauty secret also, hehe. Hello from Florida by the way!!

So I am waaaaaay late on this, but that new primer that Revlon came out with is super comparable to Smashbox Photofinish. It's called "Beyond Natural" and it's about 10 or 12 bucks a tube.
DaniGyrl Oct 16 at 12:26 am Reply
i'm so late in reading this review, but i'm glad i did…i'll stick to what i've been using…it's just as good as Smashbox, but wayyy cheaper: Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel. goes on smooth and clear and WORKS. just offering a suggestion for you. sorry the Boots didn't work out. i've heard so many good things about the brand…but i just went to check out their day cream and it has mineral oil in it!! i was like !?!??!?! that's just acne in a bottle!! eh, oh well.

I feel like every few months, I do the same exact post. The one where I complain about my weight. So brace yourself, here it is again. Don't say I didn't warn you.
For the past few months (or really years, not including the time that I lost 10 lbs for my wedding before I gained it back), I've been growing increasingly frustrated about my increasingly larger clothes. Yes, I'm healthy. Yes, I might not even be technically overweight. But a lot of my clothes don't fit and I don't want to deal with it any longer. I'm sick of seeing pictures of myself where I don't like how I look. I'm sick of dressing in workout clothes all day because the amount of real clothing that I own that fits is limited. And I most certainly don't want to buy a bigger size. (Plus the whole no job thing isn't very conducive to shopping anyway.)
Some people preach moderation. I wish that worked for me. But it doesn't. I eat pretty well. I exercise. I am basically the definition of moderation. But it's not working for me. I don't know if, at age 33, I can blame it on my metabolism, but it's definitely harder to maintain a certain weight now than it was when I was 27. And I drank a lot more back then too. Actually, I take that back. I'm maintaining my weight just fine. It's just 20 lbs more than it was back then. 20 lbs (or even 15) more than I feel comfortable with.
I've come up with a plan though and hopefully it will work. I tried not to get too strict because I knew that I wouldn't follow it if I did. Here's what I'll be doing:
1. Limit added sugars. I know from past-experience that the pounds almost fall off when I give up the white stuff. However, I have a pretty serious sweet tooth so it's hard for me. This means giving up eating dessert every night, which I had been doing. Granted, the desserts were Skinny Cow (low calorie) ice creams and the like, but they were full of sugar.
2. Limit white flours. See above.
3. Add protein. Being pescatarian, a lot of my calories come from carbs.
4. Have a "cheat" meal if the occasion is deserving of one, but remember that not all occasions are. What I mean by this is that if I'm at a new restaurant and there is something that I really want to try, have it. If I want frozen yogurt once a month or so, that's okay. But I don't really need to be stuffing my face with Goldfish because someone has a bowl of them out.
There was another one, but I don't remember what it was. So that's my plan. What I won't be doing is counting calories. I believe that's an effective weight loss plan for some people, but not for me. And it's not because I get obsessive about it. It's because I'm too lazy. I'd rather follow an "eat this, not that" type of plan that do math. There's a reason I don't have a math degree. (Although, I'll have you know that I did get an A in the one math class that I took in college.)
Dinner last night was "on plan", if you will. I had turbot (pre-seasoned from Trader Joe's) and creamed kale.
Let's face it, there's no real way to make creamed vegetables look pretty. It tasted good though. Although, if you were going to make this, I'd advise you not to use a blender. My food processor bowl broke and I've been too lazy to order another one so I figured I'd just blend it. Umm, no. Didn't work. I have a mini-food processor attachment to my blender and ended up using that, in batches, which was a pain. The end result was good though.
The fish was pre-seasoned with Old Bay and although I like Old Bay (I'm a Maryland girl, after all), it kind of made it too fishy tasting. Point noted.
And now for something that has nothing to do with weight loss, but I thought was funny. I was reading Heather's blog yesterday and she posted a picture of her dog Harper. (Picture here) Harper and Murphy are upside-down twins. Need proof? This is Murphy.
I promise they are two different dogs! They don't even look that much alike when they're right side up. But it's so funny that they both lay on the couch like that.

Seven Steps to Finding God at Your Desk
When the copier jams or coworkers get on our nerves, work seems anything but spiritual. But we can find faith on the job.
The spirituality of work, according to Catholic teaching, is based on the example of Jesus, who began our redemption by working as an obscure carpenter in Nazareth. Our own everyday work can be a way imitating Jesus and joining in his work of salvation. Even the everyday frustrations of work can help us, if they become a way of uniting ourselves with Jesus on the cross.
How can we live this idea in practical terms? Here are seven tips for turning your job into a vocation:
1. Start your day with a prayer. Offer God all the work you will do today.
This offering can be simple: "Dear God, this day belongs to you. Help me make this day an act of love for you." God wants you to do your work. He wants you to do it for him. The thought "I'm doing this for someone I love" can make even tedious tasks seem less like drudgery.
2. Throughout the day, raise your mind and heart to God. Pick a short prayer you can repeat through the day.
These prayers can be quotes from scripture or the liturgy, childhood prayers, etc.: "The Lord is my light and salvation"; "Jesus I love you"; "My Lord and My God." With these short prayers, you can talk to God all day long and keep on working. Every time the phone rings, say the prayer. Every time you enter the office, say the prayer.
3. Keep a visual reminder of God in your work area.
We all keep pictures of our loved ones around us. It keeps them at our side. So too with God. The reminder doesn't have to be conspicuous. It can be a tiny crucifix placed discreetly on your desk, or an object from nature to remind you of the beauty of God's creation. If you work at a PC, add a picture of Jesus, Mary, or a favorite saint to your Windows desktop. When you see your reminder, use it to raise your heart to God.
4. Use the difficulties of the day to unite yourself to Christ on the Cross.
Jesus tells us that if we wish to be his disciples, we must take up our cross each day and follow him. We do this at work by accepting-with a smile-the small crosses God sends us. When a coworker irritates us, we can remember how Jesus remained patient with people who were against him. When we are bored or tired or the copier jams, we can unite our minor trials with Jesus' bigger ones by saying, "Lord, I accept this little hardship in union with your sufferings."

The Phillies added some pitching depth Tuesday morning when they signed veteran right-hander Chad Gaudin to a minor-league contract. He will compete for a spot on the big-league roster in spring training.
"He has a very good chance to make the team," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "A lot depends on how he pitches. But he's got a very good chance."
Gaudin can start or relieve.
"He's likely to be in the bullpen, but he does give us some starting pitching depth, so we'll try to stretch him out in spring training," Amaro said.
Gaudin, who turns 31 on March 24, went to camp on a minor-league contract with the San Francisco Giants last season and ended up being a valuable member of that club. He pitched in 30 games, 12 of them starts, and went 5-2 with a 3.06 ERA.
In his 12 starts for the Giants, Gaudin was 5-1 with a 3.53 ERA. He allowed 57 hits while striking out 60 and walking 24 in 66 1/3 innings as a starter. He did not pitch after August 16 after being placed on the disabled list with carpal tunnel syndrome.
"We had him checked out," Amaro said. "It was a little more complicated than that. He had a nerve issue (in the hand and wrist) that we took a look at. We had some concern but still felt it was worth signing him to a minor-league deal."
Gaudin broke into the majors with Tampa Bay in 2003. He is 45-44 with a 4.44 ERA in 344 major-league games, including 87 starts. The Phillies are his 10th team.
Gaudin's ability to start and work multiple innings in relief was attractive to the Phillies The club is in particular need of starting pitching depth. Heading into the camp, the Phillies' starting rotation features Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, Kyle Kendrick and Roberto Hernandez. Cuban defector Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez probably has the inside track on the remaining starting spot, but he remains a bit of a mystery as he has only pitched a handful of competitive innings the last two seasons. Jonathan Pettibone will also be in the competition for a starting spot.
Guadin last summer made headlines when he was arrested and charged with open and gross lewdness, a gross misdemeanor, after groping a woman on a gurney in a Las Vegas hospital.
The incident occurred last Jan. 27 at 4:30 a.m. but was not publicized until July. According to a statement from his attorney, Gaudin was in the hospital because of symptoms believed to be related to a kidney problem. He also, according to police, was drunk at the time.

Out and aboutFamilies share some of their Thanksgiving Day family traditions at ChicagoParent.com. Here are just a few. For more, check out the discussion forums online.
"Our family has an activity at the table before dinner where we write what we are thankful for. Then before we sit down, we go around the table and everyone shares their thoughts."
Meghan Johnson
"Thanksgiving is usually held at my mother's house. She is one of seven children so the extended family is pretty large. A tradition of ours is the appetizer/dessert recipe contest we have amongst all of the cousins (there's about 18 of us) every year at Thanksgiving dinner. The person with the most votes wins first place and takes home a tacky prize (past prizes have included a Chia Pet and The Clapper) but more importantly they get bragging rights for a full 12 months."
Amal Hannoun
"My husband is in charge of the turkey and it is a major production each year. Of course, it always has to be the largest turkey at the store. He has to put on his 'special' Thanksgiving apron and he gets up really early that morning to prepare."
Natalie Stover
"My family volunteers at a soup kitchen preparing the food, cleaning up and serving those less fortunate and unlikely to enjoy an elaborate Thanksgiving meal otherwise. It serves as a wonderful lesson to our children and helps us to better appreciate all of the ways in which we are so blessed."
Rachel Erdman
"Just like when I was a kid, the kids watch the parade on TV while mom gets the turkey in the oven. We put a roll of white butcher paper out and everyone writes what they are thankful for. We display the ones from prior years."
Lisa Krueger
"My wife, daughter and I drive up to Wisconsin and volunteer at her parents' local community center to serve food. Then we head to her parent's house, I play football with all the guys and the seven grandchildren while the girls are inside cooking. We give our thanks and then sit around the couch too stuffed to move."

Girls Are Goofy
See more » Gallimaufry
As a boy I grew up why Im not sure with very old fashioned chivalrous notions about women. I always gave up my bus seat, opened doors. Likewise older people. Probably nothing too special in the way of conditioning.
Though part of me has often felt that back then Savannah was wrapped in some warped bit of spacetime and imagined itself much given to gentility. Maybe I was investing the town with some imagined gentility in myself though where it would've come from if not the local ethos I can't guess.
In my late teens a female friend rebuked me for going out of my way for opening a door for her. Confronted I had to admit there was no sane reason for such gallantries.
It did cause sexism to register in my consciousness. Not very deeply. Clearly such notions were as baseless as racial prejudice. I let women stand. And while I still opened doors for people, gender didn't impel me to do so more speedily.
After all females were just people. Their anatomy had more emphatic convexities and concavities. Merely a matter of biology.
As a teen I'd desired girls (and boys). It was becoming aware of the lustworthiness of boys that awakened my sexuality. I decided that I was gay (not bisexual) and spent my late youth and earliest manhood as a gay man. There was no place in my life for heterosexual dating rituals. My friendships with females werent complicated by strategies for screwing them. (Which I suspect gives ordinary male/female relationships much of their peculiar patterns.)
Those energies and calculations were invested in boys. Preferably feminine boys. I was a very sexist young queer. I got to be tall and strong and pamper nelly guys. Not that I wanted them to be girls. The first time someone expressed a wish to be feminized I was, well, shocked.
I don't remember any of my heterosexual friends expressing silly opinions about women. None suggested that a female was less rational. One did let his wife do all the cooking and housework: I sometimes felt awkward around them because of this.
Talk on blogs, contemporary romantic comedies, the self-help books we sell tell me that sexist gender notions are still around in force.
Amazing how the dead won't die.
I've owned to enjoying a bit of role playing with Alex. But we know recognize what we are doing as exactly that. And I do like shorter and smoother.
But I don't confuse the playing with the other person's fundamental nature.
I guess it is foolish to expect that centuries of social conditioning would be so easily swept away.
People still believe that God is in the heavens and girls are goofy.

[UPDATE] Reminder: Modern Creatures -- special journal issue (2015) (deadline proposals Nov 1)
full name / name of organization:
European Journal of English Studies
contact email:
Pieter Vermeulen (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Virginia Richter (firstname.lastname@example.com)
We are inviting proposals for contributions to a special journal issue that explores the viability of the notion of the "creature(ly)" for an understanding of the relations between different forms of natural and supernatural life.
The notion of "the creature(ly)" has historically played a decisive but underinvestigated role in negotiating the flexible borders between the supernatural and human and animal life. This issues proposes to focus on the literary, cultural, and material histories of the creature(ly). It wants to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the contested zone where the natural and the supernatural meet in the modern age; it also aims to develop the notion of the creature(ly) as a powerful tool for future analyses of the affects, affinities, and anxieties that have marked this zone since the advent of modernity, and especially since Darwin.
Contributions can explore, but are not restricted to:
Detailed proposals (500-1000 words) for articles of c. 5000-6000 words, as well as enquiries about this issue, can be sent to the guest editors: Virginia Richter and Pieter Vermeulen .

Research Areas and Sub-Specialties
Neurobiology, Control of Locomotion
Dr. Satterlie has three primary research projects: (1) Control of locomotion in the marine pteropod mollusc Clione limacina. The primary focus is on neural mechanisms of locomotory speed control through central and peripheral modulatory mechanisms as well as more classical types of inputs to the locomotory system. (2) Control of locomotion of cubomedusae. Particular attention is on sensory modification of swimming activity and turning behavior. (3) A relatively new project involves the distinction between motivational states and arousal states in Clione. Our preliminary results suggest that an animal-wide serotonergic arousal system is modular in construction and multifunctional, functioning during several unrelated behaviors. Using this model system, we are pursuing neurophysiological descriptions of arousal and motivational state.
Faculty researching this area include:

Are you curious what the correlation is between conditioner and garage door openers? On facebook we've been playing 30 days of thankfulness. Each day we list something we are thankful for. I'm pretty sure most of us are thankful for our families including the fur babies, our homes, food, and our jobs. I said most of us! But I want to hear about some of the little things that you are thankful for. The things we usually take for granted.
That's where hair conditioner and garage door openers come in. I live in Wisconsin with lots of humidity and without conditioner my hair is a rat's nest. Again, I live in Wisconsin and a garage door opener is a necessity about six months out of the year. I am thankful for so many little things that make my life easier and more enjoyable. For example, I'm thankful for fabric softner and pet brushes.
How about you? What little things are you thankful for?
In Action Thriller, Bolt Action from Champagne Books, Detective Leslie Bolt is thankful for sarcasm, guns and Harleys. She is a smart talking, gun hording, investigator forced to work a serial murder case with her sexy ex-lover. After a childhood of abuse suffered at the hand of her father, Leslie sleeps with a Ruger Blackhawk .357 under her pillow, has a Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker rifle in her broom closet, and a Saturday Night Special stashed in her road-hog cookie jar. The body count mounts and Detective Bolt must conquer her own past, as she races to capture "The State Quarter Killer" before her sister is the next victim.

The BBC censors the word "Palestine"/
This press release from the Palestine Campaign beggars belief...
for immediate release: 31st January 2012 *
*BBC Trust rules in favour of censoring 'Palestine'
The BBC has admitted it was 'overcautious' in editing the word 'Palestine' from an artist's performance on Radio 1Xtra and has said it is 'looking to learn' from the way it handled the situation.
However, in a ruling released today (31/01/12), the BBC Trust said the final content that was broadcast on the Charlie Sloth Hip Hop M1X – a music programme – was not biased and therefore did not breach its editorial guidelines.
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) has spent eight months trying to find out why the decision was made to censor the lyrics of a freestyle performance by the rapper, Mic Righteous. Appearing on the Charlie Sloth show in February 2011, he sang: 'I can scream Free Palestine for my beliefs'.
BBC producers replaced the word 'Palestine' with the sound of breaking glass, and the censored performance was repeated in April on the same show.
Amena Saleem, of PSC, said: 'In its correspondence with us, the BBC said the word Palestine isn't offensive, but 'implying that it is not free is the contentious issue', and this is why the edit was made.

Activity Ideas
Picnic at Mudsock Meadow Activity Ideas
This week's Faculty Lounge focuses on the Halloween story, "Picnic at Mudsock Meadow," and preparing a Halloween celebration for your students, similar to that of the book. Although Halloween is just around the corner, hopefully some of the following suggestions will still be useful. If the days' events are already planned, keep some of these ideas in mind for next year!
Obviously, the rules for Halloween activities vary from school to school, so be sure to
know what your school's limits are. Furthermore, if there are students in your classroom who do not celebrate Halloween, you may want to seek alternatives to some of the activity ideas presented below. It is easy to convert the following Halloween celebration activity ideas to an "Autumn Celebration." Just plan your event for early November, add an apple bobbing contest, and you're all set! If you do decide to hold a Halloween party in conjunction with "Picnic at Mudsock Meadow," don't forget to quiz your students on the book!
When planning a celebration such as this one, it is important to recruit the help of student teachers, teaching assistants, and parents, to have plenty of helpers on hand.
Halloween Celebration Activity Ideas:
1. In "Picnic at Mudsock Meadow," the first of the annual Halloween contests was pumpkin-carving! As opposed to a carving contest, hold a painting "contest" within your classroom. Either supply real miniature pumpkins for your students to paint or color, or have your students draw or paint their pumpkin design on paper. Depending on your classroom environment, either hold a contest and have your students vote for first, second, and third places, or award each student who participates with a ribbon, candy, or other prize. If you cannot supply some sort of reward than decorate your classroom with your students' pumpkins!
2. Following the pumpkin carving contest, William was determined to win something nice at the fishing booth. Why not set up your own fishing booth for your Halloween celebration? It's easy! First of all, you'll need to construct a booth. Following the example of the story, hang a sheet in your classroom (either along a fishing wire or clothesline with clothespins, or draped over a large object such as a desk, that students cannot see behind). Then, take three long pieces of string (approximately three feet in length). Tie one end of each string to a long stick, pole, or fishing rod if available, and the other end, to a clothespin. Three rods, means three students can "fish" at a time. Like William and Hester in the story, have your students dangle the pinned end of the rod over the booth you've constructed. Have your Halloween helper(s) clip prizes onto the clothespins. Prizes could include: candy, miniature toys (dollar store items), and/or coupons* (see below).
3. The second contest in Mudsock Meadow on the day of the big Halloween picnic was the seed-spitting contest. An old favorite for everyone! Request permission to take your students outside for this contest, or clear plenty of room in the center of your classroom and cover the "spitting" area with paper. Be sure to have plenty of help standing by, to measure the distances of the seeds.
4. Another age-old favorite, is tug-o'-war of course! If you're Halloween celebration events follow the story of "Picnic at Mudsock Meadow," you can't leave this contest out! Talk to your school's gym instructors about borrowing the tug-o'-war rope, and again, request permission to take this activity outdoors. Divide your class into two teams and tug away!
5. The final event of the story, which William participated in, was the dress-up competition. Your school may hold an annual competition, but it's always fun to have one among your students! Have each child display his or her costume, and have each student vote on his/her top three favorites. Tally up the votes, and award the winners with a prize. Again, in some classroom environments, singling out specific winners may be hurtful to others, or seem inappropriate. If this is the case, have each student display his/her costume for the class and talk about how they arrived at the idea for the costume or where the costume came from, but leave out the judging all together. It's always fun just to admire the costumes, without turning the event into a competition.
6. Of course, when planning your Halloween celebration, you can't forget the picnic! Have students each bring one treat to share with the class, or recruit your classroom helpers to assist in preparing your holiday feast!
7. Have your students write their own spooky stories, similar to "Picnic at Mudsock Meadow." Hold a spooky-story contest, or just have your students read their stories aloud. Suggest your students draw or color pictures to accompany their stories.
*COUPONS: An inexpensive and fun way to reward the winners of your Halloween contests, is to create coupons to hand out. On slips of paper, write down one thing your student will "receive" as the winner. For example, you could write "As the third place recipient of this year's Halloween seed-spitting contest, you are entitled to one free late day for the homework assignment of your choice," or "For being such an outstanding fisherman this Halloween, you are exempt from the spelling test of your choice during the month of November." Base your coupons on the structure of your classroom. Usually the requirements and assignments your students groan the loudest about are the most fitting freebies to hand out.

A good memory is essential here if you want to work fast. Customers will show up one at a time, but only when you say you're ready. Each customer you've got will issue you a pizza order, which you'll be toggling and moving around a lot so you can keep track of which pizza pie you're currently working on. It's possible to make the right pizza, but end up pairing it with the wrong order ticket, leading to upset customers. Running a pizza joint is harder than it looks, but if you're up to the challenge, then Papa's Pizzeria is a fun way to do it.

Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy (SORT): A Patient-Centered Approach to Grading Evidence in the Medical Literature - Article
ABSTRACT: A large number of taxonomies are used to rate the quality of an individual study and the strength of a recommendation based on a body of evidence. We have developed a new grading scale that will be used by several family medicine and primary care journals (required or optional), with the goal of allowing readers to learn one taxonomy that will apply to many sources of evidence. Our scale is called the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy. It addresses the quality, quantity, and consistency of evidence and allows authors to rate individual studies or bodies of evidence. The taxonomy is built around the information mastery framework, which emphasizes the use of patient-oriented outcomes that measure changes in morbidity or mortality. An A-level recommendation is based on consistent and good-quality patient-oriented evidence; a B-level recommendation is based on inconsistent or limited-quality patient-oriented evidence; and a C-level recommendation is based on consensus, usual practice, opinion, disease-oriented evidence, or case series for studies of diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or screening. Levels of evidence from 1 to 3 for individual studies also are defined. We hope that consistent use of this taxonomy will improve the ability of authors and readers to communicate about the translation of research into practice.
Pharyngitis - Article
ABSTRACT: Sore throat is one of the most common reasons for visits to family physicians. While most patients with sore throat have an infectious cause (pharyngitis), fewer than 20 percent have a clear indication for antibiotic therapy (i.e., group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection). Useful, well-validated clinical decision rules are available to help family physicians care for patients who present with pharyngitis. Because of recent improvements in rapid streptococcal antigen tests, throat culture can be reserved for patients whose symptoms do not improve over time or who do not respond to antibiotics.
Management of Hepatitis C: Evaluating Suitability for Drug Therapy - Article
ABSTRACT: Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is a common and serious disease. Although an estimated 2.7 million persons in the United States have this disease, most have not yet been diagnosed. Recent advances in treatment provide successful cure in 50 to 80 percent of cases. Current drug therapy consists of a combination of pegylated interferon and ribavirin. Although all patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection are potential candidates for treatment, pharmacologic therapy has a number of contraindications. Evaluation of suitability for treatment includes a thorough search for comorbid medical and psychiatric conditions that can be contraindications. Initial testing involves anti-hepatitis C virus antibodies, but definitive diagnosis of active disease requires detection of viral RNA. Most patients require a liver biopsy to determine the amount of hepatic fibrosis and ongoing hepatocellular inflammation. Viral genotype also should be determined: type 1 requires 12 months of treatment and does not respond as well as types 2 and 3, which require only six months of treatment. Common side effects of drug therapy include anemia, anorexia, depression, fatigue, fever, headache, myalgia, nausea, and erythema at the injection site.
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding - Article
ABSTRACT: Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common presenting symptom in the family practice setting. In women of childbearing age, a methodical history, physical examination, and laboratory evaluation may enable the physician to rule out causes such as pregnancy and pregnancy-related disorders, medications, iatrogenic causes, systemic conditions, and obvious genital tract pathology. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (anovulatory or ovulatory) is diagnosed by exclusion of these causes. In women of childbearing age who are at high risk for endometrial cancer, the initial evaluation includes endometrial biopsy; saline-infusion sonohysterography or diagnostic hysteroscopy is performed if initial studies are inconclusive or the bleeding continues. Women of childbearing age who are at low risk for endometrial cancer may be assessed initially by transvaginal ultrasonography. Postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding should be offered dilatation and curettage; if they are poor candidates for general anesthesia or decline dilatation and curettage, they may be offered transvaginal ultrasonography or saline-infusion sonohysterography with directed endometrial biopsy. Medical management of anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding may include oral contraceptive pills or cyclic progestins. Menorrhagia is managed most effectively with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or the levonorgestrel intrauterine contraceptive device. Surgical management may include hysterectomy or less invasive, uterus-sparing procedures.
Evaluation of the Patient with Chronic Cough - Article
ABSTRACT: Patients with chronic cough should avoid exposure to irritants that can trigger cough, and those who smoke should stop smoking. Patients who develop chronic cough in association with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor therapy should be switched to an agent from another drug class. If cough persists, a chest radiograph should be ordered to rule out malignancy and other serious conditions. Postnasal drip syndrome, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease are the most likely causes of chronic cough in adults. If postnasal drip syndrome is suspected, a trial of a decongestant and a first-generation antihistamine is warranted. Pulmonary function testing with a methacholine challenge is the preferred test for confirming the diagnosis of asthma. Gastroesophageal reflux disease usually is diagnosed based on the symptoms and after a trial of therapy. If the cause of chronic cough remains unclear, high-resolution computed tomographic scanning of the chest, bronchoscopy, and referral to a pulmonary specialist may be indicated. The approach to diagnosing chronic cough in immunocompromised patients and children is similar to the approach in immunocompetent adults. However, a CD4+ cell count can help determine the potential for opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. Respiratory tract infections, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease are the most common causes of chronic cough in children. Foreign body aspiration should be considered in young children. Congenital conditions, cystic fibrosis, and immune disorders are possible diagnoses in children with chronic cough and recurrent infection.
Management of Hyponatremia - Article
ABSTRACT: Hyponatremia is an important electrolyte abnormality with the potential for significant morbidity and mortality. Common causes include medications and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secretion. Hyponatremia can be classified according to the volume status of the patient as hypovolemic, hypervolemic, or euvolemic. Hypervolemic hyponatremia may be caused by congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and renal disease. Differentiating between euvolemia and hypovolemia can be clinically difficult, but a useful investigative aid is measurement of plasma osmolality. Hyponatremia with a high plasma osmolality is caused by hyperglycemia, while a normal plasma osmolality indicates pseudohyponatremia or the post-transurethral prostatic resection syndrome. The urinary sodium concentration helps in diagnosing patients with low plasma osmolality. High urinary sodium concentration in the presence of low plasma osmolality can be caused by renal disorders, endocrine deficiencies, reset osmostat syndrome, SIADH, and medications. Low urinary sodium concentration is caused by severe burns, gastrointestinal losses, and acute water overload. Management includes instituting immediate treatment in patients with acute severe hyponatremia because of the risk of cerebral edema and hyponatremic encephalopathy. In patients with chronic hyponatremia, fluid restriction is the mainstay of treatment, with demeclocycline therapy reserved for use in persistent cases. Rapid correction should be avoided to reduce the risk of central pontine myelinolysis. Loop diuretics are useful in managing edematous hyponatremic states and chronic SIADH. In all instances, identifying the cause of hyponatremia remains an integral part of the treatment plan.
Hemolytic Anemia - Article
ABSTRACT: Hemolysis presents as acute or chronic anemia, reticulocytosis, or jaundice. The diagnosis is established by reticulocytosis, increased unconjugated bilirubin and lactate dehydrogenase, decreased haptoglobin, and peripheral blood smear findings. Premature destruction of erythrocytes occurs intravascularly or extravascularly. The etiologies of hemolysis often are categorized as acquired or hereditary. Common acquired causes of hemolytic anemia are autoimmunity, microangiopathy, and infection. Immune-mediated hemolysis, caused by antierythrocyte antibodies, can be secondary to malignancies, autoimmune disorders, drugs, and transfusion reactions. Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia occurs when the red cell membrane is damaged in circulation, leading to intravascular hemolysis and the appearance of schistocytes. Infectious agents such as malaria and babesiosis invade red blood cells. Disorders of red blood cell enzymes, membranes, and hemoglobin cause hereditary hemolytic anemias. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency leads to hemolysis in the presence of oxidative stress. Hereditary spherocytosis is characterized by spherocytes, a family history, and a negative direct antiglobulin test. Sickle cell anemia and thalassemia are hemoglobinopathies characterized by chronic hemolysis.
Prevention and Treatment of Overweight in Children and Adolescents - Article
ABSTRACT: Overweight in childhood and adolescence is an important public health issue because of its rapidly increasing prevalence and associated adverse medical and social consequences. Recent studies have estimated that 15 percent of children in the United States are at risk for overweight, and an additional 15 percent are overweight. Important predictors of overweight include age, sex, race/ethnicity, and parental weight status. Generally, school-based prevention programs are not successful in reducing the prevalence of obesity. Treatment interventions include behavioral therapy, reduction in sedentary behavior, and nutrition and physical activity education. These interventions are moderately successful but may not be generalized to the primary care setting. Family physicians should focus on identifying at-risk and overweight children and adolescents at an early stage and educating families about the health consequences of being overweight. Interventions should be tailored to the patient and involve the entire family.
Geriatric Failure to Thrive - Article
ABSTRACT: In elderly patients, failure to thrive describes a state of decline that is multifactorial and may be caused by chronic concurrent diseases and functional impairments. Manifestations of this condition include weight loss, decreased appetite, poor nutrition, and inactivity. Four syndromes are prevalent and predictive of adverse outcomes in patients with failure to thrive: impaired physical function, malnutrition, depression, and cognitive impairment. Initial assessments should include information on physical and psychologic health, functional ability, socioenvironmental factors, and nutrition. Laboratory and radiologic evaluations initially are limited to a complete blood count, chemistry panel, thyroid-stimulating hormone level, urinalysis, and other studies that are appropriate for an individual patient. A medication review should ensure that side effects or drug interactions are not a contributing factor to failure to thrive. The impact of existing chronic diseases should be assessed. Interventions should be directed toward easily treatable causes of failure to thrive, with the goal of maintaining or improving overall functional status. Physicians should recognize the diagnosis of failure to thrive as a key decision point in the care of an elderly person. The diagnosis should prompt discussion of end-of-life care options to prevent needless interventions that may prolong suffering.
Diagnosis and Management of Galactorrhea - Article
ABSTRACT: After infancy, galactorrhea usually is medication-induced. The most common pathologic cause of galactorrhea is a pituitary tumor. Other causes include hypothalamic and pituitary stalk lesions, neurogenic stimulation, thyroid disorders, and chronic renal failure. Patients with the latter conditions may have irregular menses, infertility, and osteopenia or osteoporosis if they have associated hyperprolactinemia. Tests for pregnancy, serum prolactin level and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone level, and magnetic resonance imaging are important diagnostic tools that should be employed when clinically indicated. The underlying cause of galactorrhea should be treated when possible. The decision to treat patients with galactorrhea is based on the serum prolactin level, the severity of galactorrhea, and the patient's fertility desires. Dopamine agonists are the treatment of choice in most patients with hyperprolactinemic disorders. Bromocriptine is the preferred agent for treatment of hyperprolactin-induced anovulatory infertility. Although cabergoline is more effective and better tolerated than bromocriptine, it is more expensive, and treatment must be discontinued one month before conception is attempted. Surgical resection rarely is required for prolactinomas.

Crash.Net DTM News
Carroll eyeing first points from 12th
1 January 1901
Adam Carroll is eyeing his first DTM points in the Futurecom TME Audi for the third round of the series at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, despite the emphasis seemingly being on Mercedes following qualifying.
Reaching the second stage of qualifying once again, Carroll out-paced three year-old A4's in his 2005 Audi on the way to 12th position on the grid and very almost embarrassed the works cars of Mattias Ekstrom, Timo Scheider and Martin Tomczyk too.
Having only just missed out on a maiden DTM point for both himself and the Futurecom TME team at the Oschersleben, Carroll is determined to make amends at Lausitz even if he will have to overcome the domination of Mercedes first.
"Again it was good to get through to the second round of qualifying and I am starting higher up than I have before but the car didn't work so well with the tyres which was quite a disadvantage in the end. I got the most out of the car that I could.
"Hopefully my race pace is good and my aim is to score my first DTM points. We always knew that Mercedes would be very dominant here and it was proved today,"

Britain took 23.7% of all new 2012 EU citizenships
The Home Office insisted British citizenship was a "privilege, not a right" and blamed the figures on "uncontrolled" levels of immigration under the last Labour government.
Around three quarters of the 818,000 new citizenships in the EU were granted in just six countries, according to Eurostat, the union's statistical office.
Britain topped the list with 23.7%, followed by Germany on 14%, France on 11.7%, Spain on 11.5%, Italy on 8% and Sweden on 6.1%.
Britain tops list of nations granting migrant citizenships
Official figures have revealed that Britain granted more migrants citizenship in 2012 than any other country in the European Union.
Records released by Brussels showed that 193,900 people were granted UK passports over the year - nearly one in four of those issued across all member states.
Most of those were given to people from India, 14.6%, followed by Pakistan on 9.5%, Nigeria on 4.6% and the Philippines on 4.2%.
Report 'exposes PM's complacency' over passport crisis
A Home Affairs Select Committee report on this summer's passport crisis in which holidaymakers suffered severe delays, exposed David Cameron's complacency over the situation, the shadow immigration minister has said.
"Ultimately ministers have to take responsibility and admit it was their mistakes that led to the crisis, and that their response simply wasn't good enough", Mr Hanson said.
MP: 'Serious management failures' at Passport Office
The Passport Office is guilty of "serious management failures" after a lack of staff at the agency caused a huge backlog in applications, the chair of Hasc has said.
Keith Vaz told Good Morning Britain: "Here is an organisation that has made £124 million in surplus over two years, with a 500,000 applications backlog at the peak of the problems in the summer - with hundreds of thousands of British citizens in misery."
Govt wants 'no repeat' of passport chaos next year
The Government needs "to make sure there is no repeat" of the problems at the Passport Office that plagued holidaymakers this summer, a Home Office minister has said.
Immigration and security minister James Brokenshire explained:
MPs: Compensate victims of summer passport chaos
Holidaymakers who suffered severe delays due to this summer's passport chaos are entitled to compensation, an influential group of MPs has said.
The Home Affairs Select Committee (Hasc) wants to see the Passport Office back under ministerial control and compensation paid to those who used the fast-track renewal service.
Her Majesty's Passport Office (HMPO) was accused of putting holidaymakers' summer plans in jeopardy as it struggled to cope with demand and a backlog of applications in progress spiralled past half a million.
The number of applications has been cut from 550,000 to 90,000, according to ministers, but it has not been enough to stop thousands of families from missing their holiday.
Compensation should be paid to fast-track applicants, who had paid an extra £30 to have their passport renewed within a week of sending off their application, Hasc said.
Passport workers go on strike over staff shortages
Passport Office staff are on strike over staff shortages which they say have led to a serious backlog in processing applications this year.
Workers set up picket lines outside the passport office in Victoria, central London, during a strike over staff shortages which they say have led to a serious backlog in processing applications this year.
As many as 30,000 people have been caught up in the backlog as the number of passport applications topped the highest ever last month in excess of 775,000.
Union: Passport office needs 'permanent jobs'
Permanent jobs need to be "put back" into the passport office if another backlog is to be prevented, according to the union which represents their workers.
Mike Jones, from the PCS union, said passport office employees were walking out because there needed to be "a permanent solution" to the staffing shortages which had caused the original backlog.
Strike during passport backlog 'will jeopardise holidays'
Industrial action by passport office workers "will jeopardise holidays" as efforts to process the backlog of applications continue, the Government has said.
A Home Office spokesperson said:
Passport workers to strike as backlog continues
Thousands of passport workers will join a strike in a row over staff shortages as efforts to clear an ongoing backlog continued.
The Passport Office said the highest demand for applications in 12 years caused the long delays in processing passports.
Extra staff had to be drafted in to cope, while Home Secretary Theresa May was forced to apologise to those affected.
The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) said poor staffing levels were partly responsible for the backlog of passport applications, claiming numbers had dropped by more than 300 since 2010.

There is a lot going on in Taylor County. We've started county road blacktopping projects and we are working on some bridges.
I want to remind the community to be aware of their surroundings when we are doing these projects, especially for possible detours.
We will notify when we will be doing any construction work for closures by newspaper and on local radio stations, so please be patient and watch for the construction in the areas.
Kentucky is facing a prescription drug abuse epidemic. You've likely already heard the statistics. About 1,000 Kentuckians die each year - that's about three a day - from pain pill overdose.
Some reports estimate that one in three Kentuckians has a friend or family member who they say is struggling with prescription drug addiction.
It has been a very busy summer. We are using our resources in a most efficient way. Businesses are partnering to reinstall the security lights on the KY 210 bypass. After working through much red tape, the project has just been approved to begin work.
The city's street department, the Campbellsville Water and Sewer Co. and Taylor County Rural Electric Cooperative Corp. will perform the work. Taylor County RECC developed a plan that was submitted to the state for approval.
I was working my way through a row of tomatoes, picking what I could while pulling weeds at the same time. Lori was shoulder high in the okra, quickly filling one bucket and exchanging it for an empty one.
Tossing the weeds to the side, emptying another bucket of tomatoes, eyeing the rows of ripe peppers, I said to Lori, "I'm overwhelmed. I've gotten behind, and I don't see how we can catch up."
News of the deadly shooting in a Colorado movie theater awaited us all as we got out of bed Friday morning.
Shocked. Stunned. Speechless.
Well, sort of.
It's sad, but it's true. We have so many things of this nature — violent, cruel and senseless acts — that take place in our world these days, we are seldom truly surprised.
We certainly don't expect these violent acts, but wicked people cross the lines of normalcy so often these days, it's hard to feel completely surprised.
It's the first question I asked, and likely the one you first asked, too.
It still echoes from theater number nine in the Century 16 Theater in Aurora, Colo., where 12 people were murdered and 58 injured.
And it's the one question we will never completely know.
We all have a story. Now we can all be part of changing that story.
Taylor Regional Hospital is doing something very exciting. They are participating in an American Cancer Society study to help pinpoint what causes cancer.
Can you imagine a world without cancer? I hope I live to see that day.
I still remember how I felt when I heard my grandfather, and then later my grandmother, had cancer. I had a feeling that their lifespan would be cut short by the terrible disease.
It's wedding season, and May through August are the most popular months for marriage ceremonies. Planning a wedding, depending on the elaborateness of the ceremony and number of guests attending, can involve months of preparation. Thriving in a marriage is a lifelong project, filled with challenges. Somebody said in marriage there are three rings: engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering.
Jimmy Higdon
State Senator
There's been a lot of media attention lately, both locally and nationally, about states' public pensions.
Kentucky isn't immune to the pension issues many other states are facing.
The Commonwealth's public pension systems administer retirement and retiree health benefits to more than 475,000 current and former employees. As of June 2011, the unfunded liability of those systems was more than $30 billion.
On a recent trip to Raleigh, N.C., I saw a statue dedicated to the Good Samaritan. Of course it called to mind the parable in the Bible about the Samaritan who graciously cared for the wounded beggar on the side of the road.
But it also reminded me of all the folks today who give of themselves to make a difference and strengthen their communities. Our volunteers.

Need For Speed Most Wanted Apk
Need for Speed Most Wanted Apk Download – EA announced that the latest version of Need for Speed – Most Wanted – will be available to users Andriod this month. All the usual car damage and long familiar fleet of vehicles, ranging from Porsche, Dodge and ending Maserati, will be available in those spans. Firemonkeys involved in working with the Need for Speed Most Wanted , which is good, because the firm has extensive experience in the field of games especially after their Real Racing . The price of the game is not available, but expect something in the region of $ 6.99, as is the case with other games Firemonkeys / EA : Dead Space , Mass Effect: Infiltrator and The Sims 3 . Still it is not in doubt that the game will be worth the money, especially if you're a big fan of racing.
Need for Speed Most Wanted entrenched in Google Play , bringing with it high expectations associated with a well-known name. The latest version of Need for Speed for Android delight players with its graphics and has all the usual racing experience. Types of races earlier: run six cars, one-on-one, test time, driving with checkpoints.
During the game, users earn points (Speed Points), which are necessary to gain access to new vehicles. The latter in turn can buy exchange earned in the game when receiving prizes, the second option – to buy for real money. Hard not to resent the fact that the developers have implemented IAP after paying seven bucks. Until now, the only configuration the car was changing its color, although directory Google Play mentions many different mods.Graphics of the game is really phenomenal. Although, when you play the Nexus 7 , the feeling that the frame rate was a bit understated, but overall it was good. Lighting is just perfect. The game has several effects such as sparks, dust, but would like to see more, especially related to water. Very well done reflection. As for the soundtrack, here too, all at the highest level, only the most hits and recognizable melodies in all races. Above the sound effects also worked quite a few. All of trying to make the most of the creating stress on the screen. Taken into account, even the little things like changing the sound of the engine when changing gear.
It is worth noting the high quality of management, although it slowed marginally, but most likely you can write it off on the Nexus 7 . Do not forget that the game is about 2GB. Steering is based on the slopes devaysa svayp up results in a faster, pressing the right side of the screen helps cornering drift. If you prefer, you can use the technique of tap-and-drag to the steering. Gameplay is directed solely at fans of racing. Accurate cornering, improved time to overcome various obstacles – the main challenges that you will face during the passage of Most Wanted , unlike other similar games, more fixated on car upgrades, bonuses, and ahead of the competition.
Need for Speed Most Wanted uses cross-platform Speedwall, that allows you to share your results with friends. Best results are listed as Most Wanted .
As for the car, in Most Wanted are well-known brands, by category.
Need for Speed Most Wanted is significantly different from all podbnyh games for Android , as tends to be more realistic. The game's graphics are absolutely superb. One drawback – lack of multiplayer. Also here you can add the lack of any significant vehicle settings and the lack of a spectacular failure at high speeds, which would be a good addition to the realism of the game, but it's just a game, not an attempt to recreate reality.

so the numbers have changed since the last time a poll like this was done.

(welcome to the forum guys!)
so the numbers have changed since the last time a poll like this was done.

(welcome to the forum guys!)
no this poll did not work
only on the way to the rave party/in front of hipster girls.
I do when it rains just to see how far I can go, other than that not intentionally. It happens occasionally in a quick stop as I grab the front brake and my legs lock up.
I skid when I feel like it. It's fun, but it takes a lot more effort than squeezing my hand on the brake lever. I'm currently running a ratio that I don't feel comfortable skidding at unless I get substantially out of my saddle, so I usually just back pedal or use my front brake.
It's also super duper fun to find a snowy parking or parking garage roof and slide around.
// yummygooey
i do all the time but it's only a problem when i'm using my track bike as my primary errand/transport/commute bike, like this past week.
Mostly unintentionally. Mashing at lights on sketchy pavement, emergency car-interaction situations and the like.
Rarely, intentionally. And only for sup girls.
whip skids if i need to kill a lot of speed quickly, otherwise hop skip.
i skid as my main form of stopping and I run a suicide brake for emergencies. put 500+ miles on the fixie daily commuting this way.
(before new ESI grips)
and how my back tire looks.
my only emergency brake is to ted shred!
We all skid in secrecy!
I do sometimes for giggles. depends on what part of town I am in.
but i had a cop follow me a block home just to tell me my bike didnt have reflectors,
so I tend to keep my silliness to a minimum when I am in the north side of town where I live.
how to tape your bars http://www.flickr.com/photos/89572419@N00/sets/72157629279270681/
i skid all the time because why not. used tires are still cheaper than gas, and i'm not going through them that quickly
I hate fixies
i still skid quite often to kill speed. i figure even if i bought whole new tire set every month it'd still be cheaper than car insurance. i figure eventually i'll buy/install a front brake. until then, skidz it iz.
I dont normally skid, I'll skip to a stop or resist, I like to skid only when I'm trying to entertain myself lol.
Skidding is too mainstream.
So I don't skid except when doing it ironically.
I skid a lot when it was more icy out but not so much anymore. I still skip sometimes, but mostly brake and back pedalling.
I skidded a bit when I first started riding fixed not because "I didn't know better" as the middle option indicates but simply because I could. Now that I've mastered it, I don't really do it anymore because tires are expensive and anyone who'll be impressed by a fixed gear skid is probably not worth impressing.
...every once in a while if I see a nice long patch of grass still slick with morning dew, I can't resist though.
I skid occasionally for fun or at a skid competition other than that its all leg or hand brake
I am dyslexic so bear with my posts.... [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

New Greenwood library open
The Greenwood library's new, 10,400-square-foot downtown home opened following a ribbon-cutting ceremony June 24. The new building, on the site of the former library facility at 100 Mill St., is near the old Greenwood railroad station. The event is open to the public.
Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony with local, county and state leaders, library staff and members of the Friends of the Greenwood Public Library and public toured the new library. During construction of the $3.1 million project, the library was housed in temporary quarters on Route 13 in Greenwood.
Prizes and activities included free books for children, book-signings by local authors L. Kay Bryden and Lennie Martin, children's literature characters in costumes, raffles, face-painting, children's and teen crafts, music by local band Imagine and more. Staff will also be on hand to register children for the summer reading program.
The Greenwood, Milton and South Coastal libraries are operated by Sussex County.
For more information, call the library at 302-349-5309.

New mom Camila Alves is giving herself a break.
"Where I come from, we believe in something we call a 40-day break after the baby," reveals the Brazilian beauty, who welcomed daughter Vida on January 3. "You have to let your body do its own thing. You give it time to recover and let everything settle down."
Camila and her boyfriend Matthew McConaughey, who also have 18-month-old son Levi, recently shared the first pic of their baby girl – see it here!
So what exactly does this "break" entail? "No sex, light, healthy food, no trips to the gym. Then, after 40 days, you are good to go," says Camila.
She admits it's not easy – but sorry Matthew, it sounds like she's missing the gym more than the sex!
"I confess, I am getting a little anxious to workout. I miss it," she says. "Not just to get my body back in shape, but for me, for my head!"
How long do you give yourself to recover after childbirth?
