You thought horse meatballs were bad? You haven't seen anything yet. The iconic Swedish furniture store, where apparently some people buy groceries, has been forced to recall a batch of its almond cakes in 23 countries "after Chinese authorities said they contained coliform bacteria, normally present in fecal matter." You know it's bad when China calls you out on your food quality. From Raw Story:
Swedish furniture giant Ikea pulled a batch of almond cakes from its restaurants in 23 countries on Tuesday after Chinese authorities said they contained coliform bacteria, normally present in faecal matter.
The Swedish-made cakes had failed tests "for containing an excessive level of coliform bacteria, according to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine," the Shanghai Daily website wrote.
Ikea said 1,800 Taarta Chokladkrokant cakes — described on its website as an almond cake with chocolate, butter cream and butterscotch — were destroyed in December after being intercepted by Chinese customs.
God Aptit!

EUR-USD has come to settle in the 1.1050-1.1100 area. The prognosis remains a bearish one with the butcher's bill for the UK's severance being, on the estimate of the ECB, 0.5 percentage point of Eurozone growth. This assumes that the UK will continue to insist for a closed border, thereby eliminating any possibility of unfettered access to the single market via membership of the EEA (like Norway) and the UK trading under WTO rules, which ...

XE Market Analysis
North American Edition2016-06-28 10:34 UTC
Markets calmed today, with sterling and UK stocks finding a footing, and risk-off positioning unwinding some. The BoE injected GBP 3.1 bln into UK banks, South Korea announced a $17 bln stimulus package, Chinese president Li said that he won't allow a rollercoaster ride in Chinese capital markets, and other leaders attempted to assuage investor concerns. The EU leaders summit today has been casting further light on the UK's Leave campaign's preposterous ... Read More ►

The pound has remained steady for a second day, though we're far, far from being out of a forest of uncertainty with Brexit proceedings. One thing that seems pretty clear is that the EU will not allow UK unfettered access to the single market with a closed border (can't have the club's bounty without the meeting the club's obligations, to paraphrase many EU leaders at yesterday's summit). This will remain a worry for investors, who will be anticipating ... Read More ►

Some semblance of calm returned to the FX Land in N.Y. on Tuesday, as major dollar pairing traded ranges were relatively narrow. Wall Street posted decent gains, as the market took a Brexit breather, as yields moved up some from their recent lows. Upwardly revised Q1 GDP, better than expected consumer confidence, and as soft Richmond Fed index were all overlooked by traders. Sterling started the session on a more solid footing, as cable touched 1.3419 ... Read More ►

Interesting shit.
All I can say about there predicament is sucks to be them.
They are deciding the fate of the Arab region. They will surely overthrow the government thats not a doubt. Its just whether or not they will become a just democracy where everyone is represents or like the case in Iran and other countries force fed democracy they become a democracy where yes the magority has control but the magority is extremeist. Us not supporting the people is only going to make Eygpt further anti-american.
I thought you were talking about that Internet thing going on over there?
Uh thats just one tiny part of this whole thing.
Yea well it's the only part that gets my attention.
Not the overthrow of a dictatorship that the USA supports and these events will decide the future of the middle east.
No you where worried about interwebing with them.
where's justin to ruin this thread and everything else when you need him?
The people are rioting over the lack of Peeki. They miss him.
*inserts Brendan Fraiser joke*
*troll successful ;)*
keep trying, one day you'll get it right justin.
just don't write something a paragraph long next time, mk?
PS: cool? its funny to piss you off so easily into writing a public diary of how pissed off you are. :p
Assuming this topic actually had a point somewhere... I took a brief interest in this and followed BBC News for a little while. Last I heard the police had given up, the army were reluctant to take on protesters, and the interior ministry was being defended by sniper fire.
they had all communication to the rest of the world torn from them after the first day of rioting.
they still have dial up and ham radios
i would totally explain how they don't have internet or an active phone service that wasn't made by the rioters themselves, but i was laughing too hard at their ham radios from the vietnam war that they have to use.
move out of the way truckers Egyptians are taking over the airways
if only anybody cared the slightest bit about egyptians*...
*sand niggers
Pity they make up 60% of thr arab populaion and control the suez canal and are like the only ally there Isreal has. If they where like Tunesia no one would care about them and they could hang there president in peace.
Only thing I'm worried about it if the Suez Canal is shut down and no longer available to us as a trade route. Having to sail around the southern tip of Africa would be very costly, and I for one do not look forward to seeing oil prices go up because of it.
only 5% of the world's oil goes through the Canal so it shouln't increase the price really at all
pity is it will because the economic market is not based on logic
5% of the world's oil isn't 5% of the oil that goes to each country. It'll distort things more than you think.
how so? I think that 5% only goes to Europe

None of the results that were promised
By Lisa M.
from Undisclosed
Comments about Resist Daily Smoothing Treatment 5% AHA - 1.7 oz:
After trying the Resist BHA 1% and not noticing any improvement, I exchanged it for this 5% AHA. It's been several weeks of faithful use, both a.m. and p.m., and honestly I can't see any difference. With my 2nd order (and having to pay to exchange several products) I also tried a sample 10% AHA for weekly use. I'm curious why the 10% was clear and watery, and the 5% is creamy and brown colored? But neither has given me any evidence of "new skin, clarifying or evening out tone" as promised.
Customer Service Response: We're sorry these exfoliants did not produce the results you were expecting. Without knowing what the rest of your routine includes, it's tricky to determine if another product may have gotten in the way of you seeing better results, as your experience with these products isn't typical (and we're happy to provide a refund, so please contact us to arrange this). The Daily� Smoothing Treatment is a soft peach-colored lotion (the natural coloration comes from the curcumin antioxidants it contains) while the Weeklly Resurfacing Treatment has a completely different formula whose texture is more fluid ,as it's meant to be a weekly "peel"-type product. The texture and color of both products are exactly as intended, and not a sign either has become ineffective.

I didn't notice any difference at first, but after about a month, people starting commenting on how my skin was 'glowing'. and when i stopped using the product, I definitely noticed that my skin was a little dry and dull.

By Kristin C.
I got amazing results with this within the first couple days of using. It made an obvious difference to my skin and it's so soft and smooth. I even think it's helping a little bit with my clogged pores. I've always used BHAs from Paula's Choice and they've done wonders for my skin, but I felt I needed an extra boost to make my skin radiant and this certainly accomplished that.

Great product, just not for me
By Joanne G.
I seem to be one of the unlucky people that don't benefit from glycolic acid. This product has a lovely, silky feel but didn't do anything for my combination skin (slightly oily t-zone with slightly dry/normal cheeks). My skin is somewhat sensitive and prone to breakouts. I had great results with the KP Wipes since my skin seems to love lactic acid, so I'll be returning this one.

feels like makeup
By Joan
The product is the consistency of a light foundation, and it is tinted. It gave my skin a yellowish hue. Since I don't wear makeup, it also felt heavy on my face; I felt like my face was dirty. I washed it off after a few hours. It left my face feeling slightly irritated and looking a little blotchy. For folks used to wearing makeup and with less sensitive skin, it might be fine. My skin does look a little smoother and brighter.

Had a reaction
By Roxas
This product makes my face very soft but it makes my skin red when I use it and it gave me zits.

I've been using this for awhile and I have liked the product a lot. It did not create any issues with my dry/sensitive skin and I noticed that I have overall brighter and more even skin when I use this. It does not, however, do anything for my light undereye lines so keep that in mind if that is what you're looking for in this product. Overall happy with it though and will reorder!

Caused too much flaking
By DJS
Nearly all of my skin care is from PC, so I was excited to add this to my routine. Unfortunately, every time I use it I wake up to dry, flaky skin. I've tried combining it with a moisturizer, Vitamin C Booster, using it less frequently, but no matter what I do, I get flaky. My skin returns to normal after using argan oil or PC's Moisture Boost for a couple of days. I'll stick to my retinol products and my BHA products, but I'm going to return this one. Two stars for packaging and price point.
Customer Service Response: Hello, and thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear this didn't work as expected, but are glad you are using our return policy! �

Didn't work
By Alexander P.
I like this product, but unfortunately my skin did not. I have been using the 2% BHA and I had no issues. I tried to alternate days with the the BHA and AHA, but now I realize I probably shouldn't have rushed it too soon. It broke me out.

life changing
By ANDREA L.
Completely out of the blue, I ended up with the worst acne of my life on my jawline and cheeks at the age of 29. Although I had this product laying around, I only used it occasionally. I decided to try upping my usage, and started using every other day, and then every day. It has cleared my acne by about 80%, which is very worth it to me!
Wish I could actually use it properly
By Anonymous
I'm sorry but the packaging for this product is terrible. It took me 45 minutes, dismantling the bottle and using it upside down to finally get it to work and even now its spotty. I understand the packaging is designed to protect the actives but you should be able to at least get the product out.As for performance of the item, I wish the BHA % was slightly higher like 1% as I find I still need to use my BHA separately. Other than all that, it's an OK product for the price.

Resist Daily Smoothing Treatment with 5% AHA
By JanH
Really love this product but I'm not ordering it any more because of the packaging. The pump fails after about 1/3 of the product is used. I live at high altitude and don't know if this has any impact. Too many times I haven't gotten my money's worth because I can't get all of the product out through the pump. Too bad, because the product is outstanding.
Customer Service Response: Thanks for your review! We're sorry this has happened and would be happy to send you a replacement product.
By ?Andrea L
Wow! I love this and all of Paula's skincare!! It really smooths my skin and makes it so soft. I use the Resist cleanser, toner, antioxidant serum with retinol, moisturizer and Moisture Renewal Oil Booster. Works beautifully together! I recommend to everyone! What are you waiting for? Try Paula's Choice, it's the BEST!!! That's all I use now! I get so many compliments on my skin! Customer service is wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable! You really can't go wrong with PC! Thank you!!!

PLEASE change the pump method!
By SHEILA M.
Love the Resist product line; been using it for years. I am 65 and credit these products (and careful care of my skin over the decades) as the reason why my skin looks less wrinkly than my (younger!) sisters. BUT the pump actions fails on almost every bottle of the Daily Smoothing Treatment that I buy. AARGH. Same pump fails infrequently on the Barrier Repair Moisturizer. Can't this be dispensed in a tube similar to the Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer? I waste so much on Q-tip extraction.
Unfortunately, I had a reaction
I used this with no issues in the late-fall months for my KP on my arms. However, suddenly around Christmas-time the area I was using this on broke out in an irritated, itchy, bumpy rash that my doctor diagnosed as an allergic reaction. Since I had not had a problem with this product for the first 2 months of usage, I decided to try it on my legs, and IMMEDIATELY the same thing happened. Confused and disappointed, since I don't normally consider myself to have sensitive skin.

Great Results Without Costly Needles.
By Happyresistmom725
I have been using PC Resist 5% AHA & PC Resist Serum for now 3 months. I have gotten so many compliments on my skin. I am in my mid 50's and I am so impressed with PC products. I will continue to use them as the compliments continue to pour in. Love the Retinol I received as a sample, I just placed an order for a full size. My skin has improved so much. People can not believe my age! Thank you Paula! Please continue selling the best out there that $$ can buy! So worth it! :-)Happy Resist Mom
Smooth skin!
By Stacy S.
I'm so happy I bought this! I've been using it for a little over a month now and there has been a noticeable improvement in my skin. My pores are smaller, my skin is softer and more even, and my fine lines are much better. For how well it works and the size, the price is a great value. I may switch between this and the 8% AHA, but this is definitely going to a product that I will repurchase and keep in my routine. Great product!
smooths out skin texture
By sara b.
This is my favorite product of all time. The texture of my skin changed in less than a week. It used to be so rough and bumpy, now it's so smooth. Thank you, Paula & team.
My favorite from the Resist line
By Rachel D.
This product makes my skin feel fresh and invigorated. When I run out of it I notice the difference and at this point it seems my skin craves it. I'm 39 and I don't use make up and get compliments on my skin which is directly related to this and some of Paula's other gems. My skin is fair (Irish) combination w/minor breakouts at times. When I follow a regimen of Paula's products I notice breakouts happen a lot less and I get the "glow". Thank you, Paula!
Amazing product
By Rosie S
I've been using this nightly for about a month and a half now and I'm starting to see fantastic results. My hyper pigmentation from old acne has almost completely disappeared and my skin just glows! I've still got large pores and overall the texture of my skin isn't great, but it's slowly improving. Definitely be sure to leave plenty of time (20+ minutes) after the application of this product before you add moisturizer.
Great Product, Can't use it due to packaging..
By Ali
Smooths skin, good for sensitive, keep it away from your eyes, good starter exfolianti have had this product for two months and the bottle mustn't be half empty and the pump DOES NOT WORK. after pumping it for about 5 minutes following instructions NOT to open the bottle, i had to in order to get the product out. now when i put the lid back on it explodes all over the bathroom. i'm not impressed with this packaging and feel i must have gotten a bad bottle. what a waste of my money!!!
Customer Service Response: Hello, and thank you for your comments - please contact a member of our Customer Care team to find out information for a possible exchange or refund in this case.
By kathy M
I recently purchased the resist kit - let me say i love the product !!!My skin has never looked better - I am having a problem with the pump bottles (for the aha and the night lotion) after a few uses they stopped working and had to take the tops off and use without the the pump!! its a shame because the products are great!!! - i just purchased the 8% aha instead (in the white bottle) because i have bought that before and the dispenser is much easier to use!!!
great product
By Zbridget
This is hands down, by far the best exfoliant I have ever used. It is not drying, makes my skin smooth and silky. I notice the difference the most when I don't use it. This is a winner with me! I have used PC products for over 10 years and I love the quality and research that goes into her products.
Face is Baby Bottom Smooth!!
By Kristina O.
I love this! I have ultra-sensitive skin with eczema and react to lots of product ingredients. Happily this is not one of them! My face is ultra-smooth, clear, and glowing! My only complaint about this product is the orange tint, it gives the appearance of a bronzer on my fair skin. Due to this, I only use the product at night.
It works!
By Shell
I got this over the summer and love it! It left my skin supper soft and blemish free. I was a little worried because I have rosacea, it dose sting a little but never irritated my skin.

However, with proper management of the asthma, such as avoiding triggers, taking prescribed medications, monitoring for warning signs, and knowing what to do during an asthma attack, a child with asthma can conduct a healthy and active lifestyle.
How asthma will affect a child throughout his/her lifetime varies, depending on the child. For some children, asthma improves during the teenage years, while others have symptoms that become more severe over time. About half of the children who have asthma at a young age appear to "outgrow" it, although the asthma symptoms may reappear later in life.
Exercise, such as running, may trigger an asthma attack in the majority of children with asthma. However, with proper management of the child's asthma, a child with asthma can maintain full participation in most sports. Aerobic exercise actually improves airway function by strengthening breathing muscles. Some tips for exercising with asthma include the following:
Some children with asthma may need to take their medications during school hours. It is important that the child, family, physician, and school staff all work together toward meeting the child's asthma treatment goals. To ensure optimal asthma care for your child at school, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology recommends the following:
It is very important to be honest with your child about his/her disease, the severity of the disease, and the use of medications. Always remember as your child grows, independence is an important goal for a child. They do not want to be different, yet they will need guidance and supervision on any restrictions they might have.

One of the first signs of perimenopause is a change in menstrual periods or uterine bleeding. These changes often are caused by lack of ovulation (anovulation) or infrequent ovulation (oligoovulation), normal and natural occurrences in perimenopause. Often, no evaluation or treatment is needed. However, there are times when uterine bleeding patterns require consultation with your healthcare provider to evaluate the cause and determine if treatment is required.
See a healthcare provider if you experience any of the following:
- Heavy bleeding, often with clots, especially if periods haven't been that way in the past
- Periods lasting over 7 days, or more than 2 to 3 days longer than usual
- Frequent periods, with intervals shorter than 21 days from the start of one period to the start of the next
- Spotting or bleeding between periods
- Bleeding from the vagina after sexual intercourse
There are many possible causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. These include:
- Benign or noncancerous conditions of the reproductive tract:
- Pregnancy
- Irregular or absent ovulation
- Hormonal imbalance
- Fibroids
- Polyps of the cervix or uterine lining
- Infections or abnormalities in the pelvis, uterus, cervix, or vagina
- Hormonal contraceptives
- Blood thinners
- Tamoxifen
- Corticosteroids
- Certain herbal products
Diseases or systemic causes:
- Blood-clotting disorders such as von Willebrand's disease and leukemia
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Liver disease
- Obesity
- Anorexia
- Rapid fluctuations in weight
- Chronic illness
Cancer or precancerous changes:
- Abnormal overgrowth of the uterine lining
- Cancer of the cervix or uterine lining
Initial evaluation by a healthcare provider includes a pelvic examination and blood tests. A pelvic ultrasound, tissue sampling of the uterine lining (endometrial biopsy), or possibly a minor surgical procedure where the uterus is examined through a fiberoptic instrument (hysteroscopy) is often the next step. Once the cause of the bleeding is determined, the appropriate medical or surgical therapy will be selected.
The most common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal women is irregular ovulation. There are a number of effective hormonal treatment options, including oral contraceptives, intermittent or continuous progestogen therapy, or even an IUD containing a small amount of progestogen. Taking iron can prevent the anemia that sometimes accompanies prolonged or excessive bleeding (but take iron only on the advice of your healthcare provider).
Many women find that tracking their periods on a menstrual calendar is an easy and useful way of identifying their own bleeding patterns. It will help them determine what their usual pattern is, when patterns change, if a consultation with their healthcare provider is recommended, and the effectiveness of treatment, should it be necessary.

During Friday's performance at Abravnel Hall, Augustin Hadelich earned an encore after blazing through Bartok's Concerto No. 2 for Violin and Orchestra alongside the Utah Symphony.
It seemed like the least the more-than-appreciative crowd could do after already having given him a fast-rising standing ovation at the conclusion of the lilting, engaging Bartok piece.
Led by Guest Conductor Julian Kuerti, the Symphony soared along in perfect accompaniment as Hadelich tore through a nearly a half-hour of blazing crescendos, demonstrating overwhelming technique, a sense of dynamics and complete mastery of the piece. When he halted briefly during the section section of the Concerto, before racing back into the music, as the Symphony flawlessly resumed its place beneath the violin, it seemed effortless - and more powerful because of the ease with which they had done it.
After the standing ovation, Hadelich returned to play Paganini's Caprice No. 24. A brief but imposing piece that again required the violinist and his 1723 Stradivarius violin to engage in top-flight pyrotechnics that again left the crowd on its feet.
Following the intermission, the Symphony skillfully worked its way through three moving Rachmaninoff pieces before launching the evening's featured performance, DeBussy's "La mer," an Impressionistic composition designed to reflect the ocean. Although the Symphony was on target, and La Mer is beautiful and does indeed evoke the ocean, the crowd didn't seem as fixated as they had been earlier in the evening.
It seemed understandable. Following the 26-year-old Julliard graduate's wonderful appearance, it was difficult to refocus.

Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah is known for being outspoken. Apparently, the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.
Noah's father, Yannick Noah, a retired tennis professional, incensed Rafael Nadal with recent comments he made to a French newspaper, Le Monde, where he implied Spanish tennis players are putting opponents at a disadvantage because they're taking performance enhancing drugs or as Noah called it "the magic potion" according to the Morning Star and USA Today.
"How can a country (Spain) dominate sport from one day to the next?" Noah asked according to ESPN. "Had they discovered avant-garde training techniques and methods that no one else imagined?"
Nadal ripped Noah for his remarks after he completed his opening victory match in the ATP World Tour Finals.
From the Morning Star:
"What he said is completely stupid. This guy does not deserve to write in newspapers anymore." He added: "He knows better than anybody that to say that today is a totally stupid thing because you know how many anti-doping controls we have during the season, year by year.
"So in my opinion, the article that he wrote was from a kid and when one kid says something it's not painful for us."
Tennis is the last sport one thinks of in terms of PEDs, but I guess anything is possible.

I Should Be A Distributor For Sun Tanning Lotion!This stuff is amazing, my co-worker just came back from Cuba and we compared our tans, she asked where did I vacation?. Honestly you will not be disappointed, this gives a nice Caribbean look and no orange. Take your time applying it and don't forget your hair line. I use a triangle sponge to apply it as it will leave your fingers tanned. I have 3 co-workers ordering this product as they now know how it will look.Apr 15, 2013Brenda / Canada

This One Doesn't StinkIve tried several other sunless tanning lotions which leave me smelling "weird"...this one isnt perfect, but I think its considerably less noticeable than others. I can smell just a very faint hint of the lotion. (If I had put it on before bed like others recommend then I probably wouldnt even be aware of it). I got the medium and its PLENTY dark enough for me. I am very careful to apply it evenly and not too thick...I make sure to rub it in well so there is no problem with streaking. Still have to watch my feet and ankles as those spots tend to be the hardest to cover evenly. I even put this on my face.Sep 13, 2007Sharon

Love This Product!Ive been in search of the perfect tanner for both face and body, and I finally found a great one for the face, Sun! It gives you a natural color and its not sticky or greasy at all. I put it on after moisturizer and before foundation. I have noticed although that it seems to work better if you dont put anything on top of it, like foundation or powder.Mar 1, 2007Jade / Los Angeles, CA

Top Transports Picks in Africa
By Marie Javins, GoNOMAD TRANSPORTS EDITOR
Independent transport in Africa is erratic, its quality varying across the continent. Many countries have regional airlines that offer excellent deals, but for an up close look at Africa, take local minivans, buses, motorcycle or bike taxis, or hitch a paid ride with a trucker.
In West Africa, the "bush taxi" -- a shared Peugeot or minivan that travels "when full" from the cities into the countryside -- reigns supreme. East and Southern Africa variations on the bush taxi include "matutus," "dala dal," "chapas" and simply, "minibus taxis." Don't look for a website -- most are first come, first served.
Other options, such as scheduled buses, trains, and boats, are easier to plan ahead. Try one of these unique ways to Go NOMAD around Africa.Take an overland truck
Overland trucks operate all over the world, but Africa is where they really shine. The trucks are movable little worlds of camping gear, bulk foods, and spare parts that enable travelers to travel to remote areas and camp in the wild with the lions and elephants. Outfitters vary in quality, and gear their trips to different demographics. But there's no better way to see the continent up close and personal than from a truck.
Bike Africa
Follow in the tire treads of rock drummer Neil Peart (of Canadian rock band Rush) and bike your way through Cameroon, Togo, or a host of other African countries. Bicycle Africa does not have a "sag wagon" following the bikers. If you get tired, you either rest or take your bike on a local truck. Lodging is in towns and villages, and costs are phenomenally low in spite of Bicycle Africa's experience and attention to detail.
Don't want to pedal-power yourself through Africa? Rent a motorcycle and be an easy rider! South African Motorcycle Tours and Rentals offers quality, late-model BMWs to give you the freedom to explore South Africa on your own. From daily rentals to two-week long trips with or without a guide, you can discover the pristine beaches of the coast, get into the villages, explore the tropical forests and mountain passes of this beautiful country.
In Mali, there is a lot of desert between the hearty African traveler and Timbuktu. The main travel artery is the Niger River, which you can traverse in a "pinasse." Catch one of these long, open-air diesel-powered boats at the Mopti port, where you must use your best negotiating skills to bargain for passage. Bring camping equipment, mosquito repellent, and food for the journey-- you'll be camping on the banks at night, where you'll interact with locals. Alternatively, go with a reliable tour operator and leave the gear at home. exploreworldwide.com"Hop-on, Hop-off"
Backpacker buses are the norm in many parts of the world, but in Africa they are uncommon. If you're on a tight budget, take the Baz Bus through South Africa. They'll even drop you off at your choice of hostels.
Take the twice-weekly TAZARA, or Tanzania Zambia Railway from Dar Es Salaam to Zambia. It's not the fastest way around -- its primary purpose is to get freight from the Tanzanian coast to the African interior -- but it is probably the most reliable Zambian transport for the independent traveler. You can take the train all the way to Victoria Falls, but you must change trains at Kapiri Mposhi.
See Lesotho's rugged mountains the easy way -- from the back of a surefooted Basotho pony. These ponies are the result of crossbreeding between European horses and short Javanese ponies. Their small size and sturdy reliability make them perfect mounts for beginners. malealea.co.LS
Lake Malawi, which stretches along Malawi's Eastern border, is best seen from the steamboat "Ilala." It travels once a week in each direction, and is a three day trip, except when it's late -- which is most of the time. Reserve ahead for cabin class, or join the line (as much as a day ahead of time) to get a First Class or Economy ticket. Except for cabin class, tickets are only sold when the boat is in visual range. It could be a long wait. For shorter distances, catch a local boat, called a "dhow." There's no website, so you'll have to resort to local info and a trusted guidebook.More Boats
Many African tour operators specialize in various forms of water transport. In Botswana, you can take a shallow dugout canoe called a "mokoro" through the Okavango Delta. In Zimbabwe, the Lake Kariba houseboat is the boat of choice.
On the Zambezi River in Zambia, you can watch hippos, baboons, and zebra from a safari canoe.

They are historical icons, living monuments to U.S. Olympic excellence, prowess and will. Each represents a landmark not only on the fields of play but in our personal connection to the Olympic experience.
Many of us began watching the Games because Mark Spitz's swimming dominance provided some distraction from the atrocities committed against the Israeli Olympic team in Munich in 1972.
Some of us were inspired to greatness in our own lives by the talent and determination of an American Marine named Leon Spinks, who lifted himself out of the ghetto to Olympic glory in Montreal in '76.
But their stories didn't stop there. In the years since standing on the medal platform, the seven athletes below have followed paths as divergent as the sports they competed in. Here's a look at how things have played out since they were Lords of the Rings.
Mary Lou Retton, Gymnastics
Los Angeles (1984)
Olympic Experience: Just 16 years old and 4'9" when she stepped onto the mat at the L.A. Games, Retton walked away as America's darling. Bouncing back from a devastating knee injury with grueling rehab work and training, she won five medals, including the All-Around Gold — a first for an American woman.
Epilogue: A devout Christian conservative, Retton was an outspoken supporter of the Reagan administration in the 1980s. She scored another victory when she became the first woman to appear on a box of Wheaties in 1984. She's also been a motivational speaker, sports commentator and corporate spokesperson. Retton's passion for acting has landed her roles in films (Scrooged, Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult) and on TV (Baywatch, Glee)

Comments about SPOT Gen3 Satellite GPS Messenger:
I travel and hike a lot alone, sometimes in places where there is no cell service. I bought the Spot Gen3 because friends have something similar for letting people know where they are when they travel. I used mine on a recent trip and it worked very well. I set up one message if I had cell service and my check in/OK message said I didn't have cell service. At least people knew I was OK in my wanderings.

The Spot Tracker was actually used in the Smokey Mountains in north Carolina last weekend (June,2015). My kids sent us their coordinates and the OK signal, several times a day, letting us know they were alive and doing well. Thanks for the peace of mind!
- Deceptive Billing
- Poor customer service

Comments about SPOT Gen3 Satellite GPS Messenger:
I usually don't do things like this, but this company is a real piece of work. Never buy a SPOT tracking device. They charge you for services you don't know you have, they force you to keep a credit card on file, and the only way you can use their product is if you have an auto renewing service. If I delete my credit card from their website, even though I have already paid for a year's service, they will deactivate my device and cancel my subscription. I tried one of their add-on products last year with a coupon and this year they automatically billed me for the service. They said they sent me out an email telling me they were billing my card, which I never saw, but would only refund me a pro-rated amount on the services I didn't want. They charged me for a replacement program, which I never subscribed to, but they say I did when I activated the device. I would have never knowingly done that. So to cancel the replacement program I do not get a refund for what they charged me. When you tell them that you do not agree with what they are doing, they point you to the activation agreement. Rather than trying to work with their customers to come up with an acceptable solution for both parties, they have a take-it or leave-it attitude. Well, I paid for this year already, but I will be looking at their competitors for next year. BUYER BEWARE. Also, their track add-on is junk. It drops a breadcrumb every 10 minutes and draws a straight line from one point to the next. Very useless.

a dostupnost
A virtual machine is a software construct controlled by the VMware vSphere Hypervisor (known as the "VMkernel"). Virtual machines are the basic computing components of your virtual infrastructure. In lieu of physical systems, they are software constructs that create the basis of your agile data center. All virtual machine configuration information, state information and data are encapsulated in a set of discrete files stored on a datastore. This encapsulation makes virtual machines portable and easily backed up or cloned.
About Compute
Virtual Machine Components
Each virtual machine has virtual hardware that appears as physical hardware to the installed guest operating system and its applications. In addition to the operating system, each virtual machine typically has VMware Tools and virtual resources and hardware that you manage like you would a physical computer. VMware Tools enhances the performance of the virtual machine's guest OS and improves the management of the virtual machine, giving you more control over the interface. All virtual machines have a hardware version, which indicates the virtual hardware features that the virtual machine supports.
Virtual CPU
A virtual machine is configured with at least one virtual CPU (vCPU) and as many as 128 vCPUs, if you use vSphere's virtual symmetric multiprocessor feature called VMware Virtual SMP. When a vCPU needs to run, the VMkernel maps the vCPU to an available hardware execution context (HEC). A HEC is a processor's capability to schedule one thread of execution, which corresponds to a CPU core or a hyperthread (if the CPU supports hyperthreading). Hyperthread or multicore CPUs provide two or more HECs on which vCPUs can be scheduled to run.
Virtual Memory
When you combine multiple virtual machines on one physical server, you can more efficiently use the large amounts of memory on that physical server, which ultimately reduces data center capital and operating costs. vSphere uses several features to support the efficient use of RAM and higher consolidation ratios, including transparent page sharing, guest memory reclaim, and memory compression.
Shares and Limits
When several virtual machines are running together on a single host (or in a cluster), vSphere uses shares and limits to make sure that each virtual machine has enough resources, including CPU, memory, network and storage. Shares guarantee that a virtual machine is given a certain percentage of a resource, according to the defaults in place. Limits provide a hard ceiling for resource allocation, depending on the configuration of a virtual machine.
Resource Pools
You can divide and allocate CPU and memory resources hierarchically with resource pools, depending on business need, such as maintaining administrative boundaries or accommodating departmental divisions. Resource pools are also used to delegate privileges to other users and groups.
Configuring CPU and memory resource pools is possible on non-clustered (standalone) vSphere hosts or in a cluster enabled for VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS).
Virtualization Advantages
- Compatibility – Virtual machines, which have all of the components found in a physical computer, are compatible with all standard x86 operating systems, applications and device drivers and can run the same software as physical x86 computers.
- Isolation – Virtual machines can share the physical resources of a single computer, but they remain as isolated as if they were separate physical machines. The availability and security of applications running in a virtual environment is far superior to applications running in a non-virtualized system.
- Encapsulation – Thanks to encapsulation, virtual machines are portable and easy to manage, containing a complete set of virtual hardware resources with an operating system and its applications. A virtual machine can be moved and copied like any other file and saved on any standard data storage medium.
- Hardware Independence – Because virtual machines are independent from their underlying physical hardware, you can configure them with virtual components that are completely different from the physical components present on the underlying hardware. They can even run different kinds of operating systems.
vSphere ESXi Hypervisor
VMware ESXi 6.0 is the latest release of VMware's bare-metal hypervisor. ESXi features a small disk footprint, operating system independence, hardened drivers, advanced memory management, advanced storage management and high I/O scalability.
VMware vSphere vMotion enables the live migration of running virtual machines from one physical server to another with zero downtime, continuous service availability and complete transaction integrity. vMotion helps create a dynamic, automated and self-optimizing data center.
Distributed Resources Scheduler
The Distributed Resources Scheduler automatically balances your compute load across all ESXi hosts within a resource cluster. This process ensures that your virtual machines and your hosts operate at maximum efficiency.
Big Data Extensions
Virtualizing Hadoop using VMware vSphere brings new levels of agility to help deploy, run and manage Hadoop clusters while maintaining system performance on par with physical deployments.
NVIDIA GRID vGPU
GRID vGPU brings the full benefit of NVIDIA hardware-accelerated graphics to virtualized solutions.

One of the last old-school "record men" still working in the music business, Stein succeeded by anticipating the next musical wave and signing its brightest lights. In 1975, for instance, he saw four glowering, black-leather-clad guys from Queens who played lightning-fast tunes in a style without precedent.

I am sad! Today I review the last of the See's Limited Edition flavors for the year. Hopefully it's a trend they continue to keep up, but for now it's the last one. Today's offering was sent to me as a sample, and it's Deep Dark Chocolate Truffle. The description reads: "Dark chocolate blended with semi-sweet cocoa powder and cream drenched in premium dark chocolate". Yummy!
First off, my apologies for a lack of an original photo this entry. I am currently driving cross-country because I am moving to Los Angeles. I received these samples once all my photography equipment was packed up. So for once I'm using a photo given to me from See's.
The truffles are circular in shape, and are about 3/4 of an inch tall. A nice little chocolate tower, as so to speak. The chocolate enrobing is a gorgeous deep, rich chocolate color with three chocolate stripes decorating the top. The aroma of the truffle is a very deep and rich chocolatey scent, full of nice notes of cocoa, coffee and cream.
The first bite is lovely. The chocolate shell easily gives way to a rich interior which is a truffle in the best sense. It's both dense and creamy, with a wonderfully smooth texture that isn't slick or greasy. The dark chocolate is beautifully chocolatey, with notes of coffee, cream, and hazelnuts. There's no fruitiness or acidity in this flavor, which is what some people struggle with in dark chocolate. Overall it's incredibly decadent and wonderful flavor, which is a testament to Sees since the flavor is really simple, yet it's executed beautifully.
Out of all the flavors I tried out of this limited edition run, I think this one falls in second place as my favorite after the Black Forest Truffle. This is a flavor that really captures the idea of a truffle in my mind: something that's incredibly chocolatey and rich to eat. I can't wait to have one with my coffee in the morning, I'd imagine it'd be a great combination. So if you can find these, I recommend them!
CONTEST: I have another two gift certificates from See's to give away! It's for one pound of these chocolate, and can be used in their stores or by phone at (800-895-7337). So how do you enter? Please comment on this post by Friday the 29th at noon, PST (since I'll be on the west coast now!) and share your favorite type of Halloween candy. I'll choose a winner randomly from those who enter. Best of luck!

|Vandals earn academic award
LEXINGTON, Ky. - For the second consecutive year, the Idaho volleyball team earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award.
The award honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during 2011-12 school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale.
"It's a huge honor to be one of two teams in the WAC to win this award and to win it back to back years," Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said. "I'm proud of our student-athletes for their commitment to being great students, and we couldn't do this without the support of our administration and our academic support staff."
The Vandals are one of 102 NCAA Division I schools to earn the award, and join Utah State as the only current Western Athletic Conference members. Idaho is also the only Division I school in the state to earn the honor.
