Polkasaur, you have a point. Thank-you for reading the rules. The newbie's I'm talking about are the noobs. My bad. I didn't know the correct term for them and like Miranda_ said. Not all newbie's cause problems. You, for insantance, probably won't cause too many problems because you have read the rules and know what is ok and not ok. Thank you, again. I didn't mean that all newbie's cause problems, but at least half do.
Being single doesn't make you weak, it means that you are strong enough to be on your own; Being alone could be a good thing, because there is no drama involved in your life, no pain, and free to do what ever you want. Life is too short to be chasing those who aren't even worth fighting for, you are worth more than that.

DS brut goes into Slot-1 of the Nintendo DS, like games normally would. That said, you'll preferably have a Slot-2 homebrew solution like a SuperCard with FlashMe firmware if you don't want to switch cartridges like mad.
The DS brut cartridge features one Atmega168 microcontroller running at 8MHz, same as your Arduino board. Its datasheet can be found here. This microcontroller is providing the communication with the Nindendo DS over the SPI protocol (CPOL=1, CPHA=1).
Using this cartridge you can do serial communication with the outer world over the RX/TX pins on TTL levels. A number of different baud rates are supported - see the library documentation for more details.
The six additional pins can be used as GPIO pins from the Nindendo DS, which means you can read and set their states high or low. Reading analog values on a 10-bit ADC works on pins PC5 and PC4. These two pins can also be used for controlling other devices on an I²C bus. Outputing PWM values works on pins PC3, PD6 and PD5. The API for these functions closely resembles those of the Arduino platform, so if you have some experience there you'll find it extremely easy to get started doing prototyping on the Nintendo DS.
The VCC pin provides a 3.3v supply voltage, which is also what the Atmega168 chip is running on. We haven't measured how much you can draw from Slot-1, but the maximum current per I/O pin is rated at 40mA.
Note: We also provide a cheaper version on the cartridge which makes only the RX/TX pins available - hence UART only.
Schematic DS brut (rev. a)
Schematic UART only (rev. a)Note: The labels of the RX and TX pins are mixed up on the rev. a schematics.
Thanks to Stock for his invaluable help getting this project going!

Best Student Violins around!
by User793 on
These string instruments are the best for students at the lowest prices. The service is excellent as well. We've had four of Adam's instruments and have been pleased with them all. I highly recommend Adam Day violins for all student instruments. (For the record, we haven't tried any of the higher quality instruments, so I can't say anything about them.)

As the title states, I'm trying to prove $a_{n+1}=1-e^{-a_n}$ has no infimum if $a_1<0$. I'm not sure this is true, but calculating $a_n$ for large $n$ leads me to believe it is. I've already proved $a_{n}$ is monotone decreasing, and that if $a_{1}>=0$ then its infimum is 0.
I know the very basics of series and sequences; no Taylor and the such, but most limit calculation theorems as well as a decent amount (L'hopital, integrals, etc...) for calculating limits in $R$.
Any hints would be appreciated!

Harry "The Hipster" Gibson: Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?
Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?
Harry "The Hipster" Gibson (vocals, piano)
Boogie Woogie in Blue (Musicraft MVSCD-63)
Harry "The Hipster" Gibson (vocals, piano), Slim Gaillard (guitar),
Tiny Brown (bass), Zutty Singleton (drums).
Composed by Harry Gibson.
Recorded: Los Angeles, February 8, 1946
Rating: 75/100 (learn more)
In 1946 Time magazine identified Harry the Hipster Gibson as "the bigwig of be-bop." Absurdly conflating bop and hipsters, Time latched onto Harry because he was a zany, zoot-suited caricature. Yet, unlike his occasional sidekick Slim Gaillard, Gibson was no good-natured naďf. Rather, Harry made it hip to get high. His song about spiking a popular children's drink with amphetamine might be some fool's idea of good clean fun, but by the mid-1940s public health officials were warning that such drug abuse wasn't hip, it was dangerous. Even so, it might've been a good thing if Harry had been the bigwig of bebop. As Gene Wilder demonstrated in Young Frankenstein, it's easier to Just Say No to Ovaltine than to the lethal junk the true Bigwig of Bebop was hooked on.

Please ignore Alan Kurts' ignorant Dragnet narco-paranoid diatribe. Harry Gibson was a boogie and blues pianist of enormous talent, who wrote entertaining songs about the 1940's night life of people who were not satisfied sitting at home listening to FDR's fireside chats. The CD in question was recorded mostly in 1944, with 4 tracks from 1946. They are harmless novelty songs, contrary to what Alan would have us believe.

Sterling College Student Brings Christmas to Local Family
"I thought about reading to schoolchildren for my senior seminar project, or working with athletic camps or serving at the food bank, but my heart just wasn't in any of those things." Lazerrick Young, senior psychology major, shared this with his fellow students during Sterling College's chapel on December 3, 2008. "Instead I had this desire to help a family in Sterling, a family in need, by providing them with food, clothes, and toys."
But Young faced a major problem: he didn't know of any families in need in Sterling, he just knew that was what he wanted to do. So Young went to Jerrod Adair, his mentor and one of Sterling College's chaplains. Adair connected him with Brennan Riffle, principal at Sterling Grade School. Riffle connected him with Kandee Eidson, a mother of two who lost both her husband and father in the past year. Did Eidson need encouragement and some help? Definitely yes.
Now that Young knew what he was doing for his senior seminar project, he pursued it as a calling. He didn't want Eidson to feel as if she were receiving charity. He simply wanted her to know God loved her, especially through the very difficult times she was experiencing. He spoke with Kandee Eidson about this. Then Young got to work, letting the Sterling College campus know he was accepting donations and the kinds of items he was looking for. He set dates for collection at each of the residence halls on campus.
When he visited Evans, a women's dorm, on their collection date, the residents were decorating their halls for Christmas. "I showed up," Young shared, "and most of the girls got up and went into their rooms." He joked, "I didn't see how it could have been me. I'd put on cologne, even dressed up." But the women immediately returned, their hands filled with donations. "That touched me," Young said.
It was the same in each dorm he visited. Students in Kilbourn put down video game controllers to donate; others Young barely knew approached him in the cafeteria, the library, all over campus, giving him money and items for the Eidsons.
As Young finished telling this story to the assembled students on December 3, he said, "The success of my project was contingent on the hearts of the students at Sterling College—and it was a success."
Then he asked Kandee Eidson and her two daughters to come onto the stage. From the rear of the auditorium a line of Sterling College students began filing down the aisle. As the line crossed in front of the stage, each student placed a wrapped package on its edge. The line of students continued up the opposite aisle, back into the auditorium lobby and then around again with another series of presents. This went on for several minutes, until the front of the stage was filled with food, clothes, and toys, specifically chosen for the Eidson family. The Sterling College student body clapped and cheered.
Young had already challenged his fellow students to dig into their pockets, but as he spoke in chapel, he also challenged them to dig into their hearts. "I grew up on the west side of Chicago," Young told them. "It was rough. As a little kid, I was taught what to do if someone attacked me, how to defend myself." He stopped a moment before continuing. "So you'd better know that if anyone ever pulled a weapon on me, I'd be pulling my own, shooting bullets back." He paused again. "But you need to know what those bullets are. Because I know Jesus, my bullets are His truths."
"Here's one of my bullets," Young said, "Mark 10:45, 'The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.' If Jesus came to serve, then shouldn't I do the same? Here at Sterling people like Dr. Froese are always inspiring us to be servant leaders. But without Jesus, you can't be."
Kandee Eidson commented later about Young's dedication to servant leadership. "When Lazerrick contacted me about this project, I was amazed that a college student would even think of doing something like this. What has amazed me even more is that Lazerrick has kept in touch even after the project has been finished. He calls me to see how we are doing."
Young's example of servant leadership has not only affected Kandee Eidson, it has also impacted his fellow students. As Young finished speaking to his quiet, attentive audience on December 3rd, he reminded them once again of the ultimate source of servant leadership: "If you don't know Jesus, you need to."

$100,000 Fantasy Garage Challenge: That Car Guy
Let's see... a hundred grand for garage toys. Where to start?
How about our brand new vehicle first. For that, I'd get a 2-door Jeep Wrangler Sport, which is their base model. And from their somewhat limited palette, I'd get this color called Commando Green, which looks somewhat military to me.
I built and priced one; they come standard with tilt, cruise, traction control, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, fog lamps, a 285-hp V-6, a 6-speed manual, and more. Oh yeah, it also has 4WD standard... a Jeep without 4WD? Heresy!
The only options I'd want are air conditioning and a hard top; soft tops are just way too noisy on the highway. Its Grand Retail Total, minus shipping, is $24,085. Not bad.
Why get a Jeep? Well, I've always liked them, they make great service vehicles, if you get stuck it's your fault, and despite new model year updates, I think we know pretty much what the next one will look like.
Next would be a 1969 Lincoln Continental/Lehmann-Peterson Limousine. I've been fascinated with these as long as I can remember, so the gracious gift of 100 grand would bring me one. I've seen a few advertised around $20,000, so here's the check.
Of course, the 2003 F-150 Super Crew will stay. Its value is hard to define; the Fantasy Garage Challange rules say to figure 12,000 miles a year, which would place it at about 125,000. But this truck has 17,000. That's right... seventeen thousand miles on a truck that's over ten years old. It's also never had a scratch, and it still smells new. But rules is rules, and they say it's worth an even Steven $14,000.
And the 2001 Miata SE is a car that I've said if I ever got rid of, I'd regret doing so. Its book value is $8,925.
A high performance touring car must be had. How about a Porsche 928, one of my most lusted-after cars ever. Pinning down an exact year would be difficult, but I found this pristine 1979 example on craigslist for $9,500 obo.
I had the pleasure of driving a 928 GT for about a week, and got spoiled. Of all the cars we sampled on the show, this was the one I hated to see go the most. I told myself I'd have one some day, even if it was 1:18 scale and sat on a shelf.
But for this Challenge I'd probably want a newer one, built after 1991 (The first year and the first USA-marketed car line with dual front airbags). So let's guesstimate $18,000 for a really nice one.
1992 and later 928s are called the 928 GTS; their displacement was pushed to 5.4 litres with 345 hp, the bodywork was flared a bit, and they had larger brakes. In short, they were the final, refined form of Porsche's own 911-killer.
I'm including a 2013 Honda CBR500R, since I've done plunked down the deposit on one. Delivery date should be in April, hopefully sooner. $5,999 is its MSRP, but the dealer wanted $400 for freight, $400 to unfreight it, and $149 to stuff some papers into a drawer. We're not counting those costs in this Challenge, but be prepared for them when you go shopping.
Oh, and I'm getting a $250 rear cowl (Shown) to replace the passenger's seat.. so that comes to $6,249 before negotiations. We're also not counting sales tax, tags, title, license fees, and new riding gear here.
I want to keep Mom's 2003 Mazda Tribute, both as a daily driver and a rememberance of her. The little SUV does many things well; it's not too big, not too small, carries 4 people comfortably with their luggage, and makes a great grocery-getter. Our vehicle value source puts its worth at $8,575.
OK, so the grand total here is $99,834. But running the range from a work vehicle to sport performance to all-out luxury with class to 2-wheeled fun, this is my fantasy garage. And I'm very thankful that much of it is already here, or at least will be soon.

Running Is Life : Transcending the Crisis of Modernity
ISBN13:by Fleming, Bruce
Rowman & Littlefield Pub Inc
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 7/1/2010.
What is included with this book?
- The eBook copy of this book is not guaranteed to include any supplemental materials. Typically only the book itself is included.
Running feels good. It also centers the runner in the world, solves the problems implied by the Cartesian split between body and soul, and establishes an active relationship between the self and others. Running takes the motion we are all born with (that is the essence of life) and with the individual providing the impetus, projects us into the world of others. When we run, we transcend ourselves and place ourselves in the world. Running is Life is set in many places--Cairo, the Eastern Sierras, Las Vegas, New York's Adirondack Mountains, and Barcelona, among others--but always in the moving body of the runner hurtling both through and into the world. Running is Life is both a hymn to human motion and an explanation of its sweetness.

With the start of the collegiate baseball season right around the corner, I thought today would be a good time to recap some preseason honors for the 2011 East Carolina Pirates.
Earlier today, College Baseball Insider released its annual Conference USA Preview and ECU's own Seth Maness was tabbed as one of the Top-3 starting pitchers in the league for the second-straight season, as voted on by the league's coaches in a survey.
Maness has been named to three preseason all-america teams already garnering second-team honors by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) and third-team designations by Collegiate Baseball and College Baseball Lineup (formerly Ping!Baseball). He was named preseason first-team All C-USA by the league coaches for the third-consecutive year and Collegiate Baseball tabbed him as the Preseason Pitcher-of-the-Year.
The 2010 Conference USA Pitcher-of-the-Year logged a league-high 101.1 innings over 17 appearances (15 starts) and posted a conference second-best 10 wins. He registered 90 strikeouts and walked just 16 batters all season, both ranking among the league leaders. The right-hander tossed one complete game and added a save in one of two relief appearances.
A three-time first-team All-C-USA performer, Maness earned all-tournament honors after posting his 10th win of the season during the 2010 C-USA Championship against Southern Miss, where he carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before giving up a leadoff double to Tyler Koelling. Maness shook off the bump in the road to remain effective throughout his time toeing the rubber, giving up just one unearned run on five hits in 7.2 innings.
The Pinehurst, N.C. native, who has not allowed a run in 251.2 of his 306.2 career innings, owns an 18-3 career mark against C-USA teams (142 Ks in 185.1 IP) and has 28 career wins, which ranks fourth all-time in C-USA history and tied for fourth in the ECU career record book. During his career with the Pirates Maness has fanned 254 batters while walking just 54, a 4.7-to-1 ratio.
Joining Maness with preseason honors is fellow classmate Trent Whitehead, who was also named preseason first-team All C-USA by the league coaches. The Washington, N.C. native holds the school's single-season hits record with 105 (2009) and is 92 base hits away from setting the all-time school record (301 by Steve Salargo/1996-99). During his career, he has started 142 of 174 games and boasts a .343 career average (seventh all-time at ECU heading into 2011).
Junior infielder Corey Thompson was the third Pirate to garner first-team All C-USA honors by the league coaches. Last year Thompson led the Pirates with a .377 average (seventh in C-USA), while also topping the squad in hits (86), runs (61), triples (3), RBI (54) and total bases (132) on his way to second-team All C-USA honors. He earned C-USA Hitter-of-the-Week honors and CollegeBaseball360.com Primetime Performer honors on March 1 after helping the Pirates to their first ever series win over No. 10 South Carolina where he batted .438 (7-for-16) with six RBI. On April 30 he became the fifth Pirate since 1999 to hit for the cycle with his 4-for-5 effort against Marshall.
Seth Simmons was one of 45 relief pitchers named to the initial watch list for the Seventh Annual NCBWA Stopper-of-the-Year Award, which is given to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I baseball.

Walmart's seemingly endless Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigation and mounting expenses drew the attention of the New York Times again this week which explored arcane legal issues that have muzzled a former Walmart lawyer.
With all sorts of media outlets riding the coattails of the New York Times investigative reporting on Walmart's alleged bribery of Mexican officials and subsequent cover up, Forbes asked the logical question of whether paying money to government officials to get things done in Mexico is even illegal under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

It's that time of year again, when high school seniors are getting ready to graduate. My youngest sibling is graduating in May and as this is my 100th article for Examiner (180+ to be more precise) I thought it would be fitting to give the seniors some comforting advice.
10. You will get scammed. There are people out there who prey on the inexperieed. I have lost $3000 in my life so far because I got taken advantage of and was too shy to create a confrontation over it. Whether it's cell phone plans who sucker you into expensive contracts or the electric company who over charges your bill, everyone gets suckered. Don't be afraid to speak up when something seems shady and don't be ashamed to tell your parents about it. Money comes and money goes. Just keep living and move on.
9. Cops harass everybody. It's not just you or the color of your skin. They make everyone feel like they could be a criminal. Yes it sucks, and feels like your being taken advantage of. But it's the price we pay for being safe. Don't take it personal, and remember that being peaceful is what Jesus does. I always think the best thing to do is comply and get back to your life. Don't take police harassment as a personal attack against your character.
8. It's tough searching for a significant other. Finding a date in high school is relatively easy compared to the difficulty of finding a quality person in the real world. People in high school are trying to improve their life personally. Whereas popular places in the real world to find someone are bars, nightclubs, your low paying job, dead beat casinos and even online dating sites. All of which are scary places where bad guys can frequent. Find something that you know you like to do and catch your significant other there. College, church and hobby clubs are worth doing because people are working to improve their life. Nobody works to improve their life by frequenting bars.
7. The real world is not hard. I remember adults telling me that the real world will, "chew me up and spit me out". Or that, "you have to compete against everyone when you get out in the real world". Or that, "life is hard because you have bills to pay". Let me be the first to say that going to work and paying your bills is not rocket science, anybody can do it. While high school pushes you out the door aiming for great things, the real world aims for the lowest common denominator. Just keep setting goals and going after more difficult things.
6. Being social makes the world go round, not money. The mantra is get out of high school, get a good job and make a lot of money. It's such a losing mentality, because money means nothing if there's no one to enjoy it. Why buy the chick magnet [car] or the million dollar house, the newest Iphone or some cool toy if no one cares that you have it? Being social is always the key. If it was acceptable to live in boxes, in robes and not have to take showers, then we wouldn't have to spend money. Money would not exist unless it was accepted socially. That's why people say family/friends are so important because its truly a social world.
5. You're in control of your life. I used to think that my parents were responsible for some of my decisions in my life. Yes, there were certain things that I appeared to have no choice about. But I didn't realize until I was alone that I truly was in control of everything that I did in my life. Even my happiness and dis-enthusiasm came from me telling myself I liked or didn't like something. You don't like you're girlfriend/boyfriend anymore? You control what you like, dislike, do, or don't do.
4. Your mentality doesn't change because you're older. You have to realize that an adults mentality is similar to yours regardless of how they look. They are the same immature kid from 18 years old, wondering what to do with their life and still partying in their own way. They still want to be the socially acceptable by keeping up with the Joneses or buying the latest technology. They go through the same struggles mentally. They're just better at hiding their weaknesses and knowing where they feel safe at. Be humble and learn from them because they have already screwed up from things that you haven't experienced yet. Don't make the mistake of thinking that one day you will change. Your mentality today (18) is the same as in the future.
3. Don't be afraid to accomplish while you're young. Yes, when you're 21 you can drink. And yes, you don't look like you're mature or the CEO of a company yet because you don't have grey hair. But you certainly have the energy, flexibility, and the guts to do what people older than you can't do. Don't be the guy who wishes he swung for the fence early on. However, don't be a fool and swing for the fence if you don't know how to hit a grounder. Walk before you run - but do it quickly while you're young.
2. No one is going to push you. Have you ever seen your mom or dad do something harmful and expect them to realize what they're doing and change? Yet they don't change. It's not that they can't change, there is just no one pushing them. This is the toughest part of life. Because it's so hard to overcome something when there is no one pushing you to overcome it. Don't be afraid to discipline yourself to overcome problems. Instead of cutting people out of your life because they said something hard to swallow, work to overcome it by getting involved with people who will help you. Your girlfriend/boyfriend telling you you need to change is not a sign that you need to divorce, but is a push to change your life.
1. Your dream job requires work. Everybody thinks theres a dream job out there. They think that the singer, filmmaker, dancer, writer is a result of talent. The reality is that it requires the same type of work you would put into any job. The drudgery of factory work, the instability of a sales job, the worthless feeling of a retail job, and the hard work/little pay of a fast food joint is the same type of work that it takes for a dream job. Keep that in mind and you can achieve your dream.

Fans of "I Love Lucy," the CBS sitcom that aired from 1951-1957, which is still seen world-wide in reruns, can experience a valentine to one of America's most popular TV programs when "I Love Lucy® Live on Stage," comes to the Murat Theatre at the Old National Centre, Feb. 11–16. Adapted for the stage, the tribute show is directed by Rick Sparks.
Sirena Irwin plays Lucy and Bill Mendieta is Ricky Ricardo in roles they created in the original Los Angeles and Chicago productions. Kevin Remington is Fred and Joanna Daniels plays Ethel Mertz, the Ricardo's endearing landlords and sidekicks.
The cast also includes Sarah Elizabeth Combs, Gregory Franklin, Peter Kevoian, Jayme Lake, Carlos Martin, Tyler Milliron, Denise Moses, Cindy Sciacca, Jeffrey Christopher Todd, Mark Christopher Tracy, Carolynne Warren and Tamara Zook.
Recently Examiner.com spoke by phone with Sirena Irwin about "I Love Lucy® Live on Stage," and her beloved character Lucy. Irwin was in Fayetteville, Ark., the show's most recent stop on its national tour prior to its run in Indianapolis.
When did the tour start and what are some of the other cities you've played?
The tour started in July. Before Fayetteville we were in Philadelphia, Boston, Toronto, Buffalo, Charlotte, Atlantic City and next week we get to spend Valentine's Day with audiences in Indianapolis.
How did the show come about?
What I know of it is that the producers worked in collaboration with CBS to put on a 50th celebration for "I Love Lucy," which in the beginning featured reconstructed sets that they toured around the country. They had an incredible response and millions of people went through the exhibits at state fairs, the Mall of America and so forth. Thinking "wouldn't it be interesting to put actors on these sets," they talked to CBS about getting the rights to do the episodes. After a while CBS agreed to give it a shot and then we started our collaboration. The first performance was in 2011. We did one performance in Vegas for some investors. They said yes and the producers decided to give it a try.
What is the show's format?
It's as if you are a studio audience member in the Desilu studios in the early 1950s. There is a host that takes the audience on a journey so you are going to see the filming of 2 episodes "The Benefit" and "Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined." In between we have commercials featuring the Crystaltone Singers, who perform a medley of commercial jingles from the era.
What is your approach to the role of Lucy?
Our director Rick Sparks asked us to capture the essence of these characters. He was very clear with us that he did not want impersonations. He wanted us living and breathing in the text. Obviously the characters of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo and Fred and Ethel Mertz were created by four incredible actors and the characters wouldn't exist without these people and what they brought to it. So it was kind of double-pronged journey, which was getting to know the script, letting them live within ourselves, but also letting them be informed by the extraordinary Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, William Frawley and Vivian Vance. Having the incredible opportunity of being able to look at their work, I felt for myself that it was really important to capture some of the things that Lucille Ball did.
Are you referring to Lucy's mannerisms?
Yes. Like her terrible singing and her cries. I did study Lucille Ball's characterization of Lucy but I didn't want mine to come off as mimicry. It really has to be innately in all of us and we have to live and breathe in these roles with this comedy which is all about timing. For us, replicating their timing is the eternal quest. These four people and also the guest stars that joined them worked so unbelievably well together. Each individually understood timing, which was a part of what made this show incredibly successful.
How have you been received by hardcore Lucy fans?
I feel that it has been a very warm reception. It was really great to being in L.A. where there are still people that are alive and well that worked with them [the original cast]. They knew them intimately and came to me after seeing the show, with open arms. They were very loving, very embracing. It meant the world to me to have their support.
Are you aware that Madelyn Pugh, one of the writers of "I Love Lucy," is from Indy?
Yes. Unfortunately, she passed away just months before we opened in Los Angeles. It was just so upsetting to me that she couldn't be there. I would have loved to have met her. Her son and daughter-in-law came to see the show and were very complimentary and kind and gracious. It was amazing what she did in that era. I read that she had a director chair on the set that said "girl writer". She was just an incredibly talented woman and amazing force and a great balance to Jess Oppenheimer and Bob Carroll. What I would have given to be in those writer's room to see how they worked. Did you know that Fred and Ethel Mertz are named after Madelyn's neighbors there in Indianapolis?
Is there a strong bond amongst you and your cast members?
Oh, yes. There certainly is. Bill [Mendieta] who plays Ricky, and I, have been doing this from the beginning. Coincidently, we went to college together. We met in the theatre department and worked together a little bit. We hadn't seen each other much except in plays around Los Angeles and we'd stop by and say hello. Then we both happened to be cast in these parts. And I think that just having that knowledge and understanding from the beginning gives us chemistry, connection and a deep respect for one another and that has been very helpful. Our Ethel [Joanna Daniels] came to us from Chicago and is just an incredibly wonderful, loving soul. It has been such a great experience to get to be her best friend on stage. And our Fred Mertz [Kevin Remington] is a new acquisition with this tour and he is just phenomenal in the part.
Have Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. seen the show?
No. Neither of them has made it out yet. We are really hoping they do at some point but they have busy schedules and lives. Bill and I actually went to the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival in Jamestown in early August on her birthday. There were all kinds of people connected with them [Lucie and Desi Jr.]. They all said "we have reached out to them and told them that they have to come to see this show because it is such a love letter to their parents, and to the show, and to the birth of television."

FlexiSpan® is only available from a certified installer in your area. Contact us to request an inspection & get a free cost estimate to have it installed in your home.
Keep the basement dry. The FlexiSpan® system seals the wall crack as a first line of defense. But if any water should leak through the crack, a hidden, foam-lined channel transports this leakage to the waterproofing system.
The first response to a cracked basement wall is often an application of patching mortar or masonry sealant. Unfortunately, this quick fix rarely works because of poor adhesion to the masonry or a slight movement along the crack that breaks the seal.
Instead of making several attempts to repair a foundation wall crack, why not make a single repair that will last? The FlexiSpan® crack repair system will do the job right so you won't have to do it again.
FlexiSpan® crack repair is actually a three-part process that begins with the application of a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack.
Finally, an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This failsafe treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basement's perimeter drainage system.
Unlike sealant or mortar-based crack repair, the FlexiSpan® system is not adversely affected by hydrostatic pressure or slight movement in the basement wall. It works under all conditions.
If you have leaking foundation wall cracks, it's best to make sure you have a proper waterproofing system in place. Basement Systems offers patented drainage systems and sump pumps that can help keep your basement dry. For a consultation and quote, find a basement waterproofing contractor in your area!
No more leaks. FlexiSpan® crack repair puts an end to water leakage through basement wall cracks.
In rare instances, a foundation wall crack can signal a serious structural issue like settlement, erosion or buckling inward due to soil and water pressure.
Foundation leakage may also be an issue, but the primary concern will be to correct major structural problems that threaten the stability of the building.
For foundation structural repairs, contact the experts at Foundation Supportworks.
Like Basement Systems, your Foundation Supportworks dealer provides free expert inspection and Free Estimates for all recommended repairs.

Winter coats are a necessity, but just because we have to keep warm doesn't mean we have to take a break from looking fabulous. Grey, black, and brown coats are all well and good but there's no rule against your outerwear being plucky and bright. Stay as warm and delightful as a steaming cup of mulled wine in this Via Spiga Corset Seam Coat ($255) in lapis. The coat is a wool-cashmere blend and the color is rich and bright, but not so loud that it'll look dated by next season. The background you see in the picture is actually the coat's inner lining, so it is, quite literally, pretty from the inside out.
that same coat is available on overstock for $119. i have it in black and love it!!

Women's Lacrosse Falls To UNH, 12-11, in 2OT
March 27, 2004
AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts women's lacrosse team (1-5) fell to the University of New Hampshire (5-4) this afternoon at Garber Field. Senior captain Tracey Drown (Nashua, N.H.) led the Minutewomen with six points (4g, 2a), but it was the Wildcats who came up with the heartbreaking goal in the second overtime.
UMass began the game on a high note as freshman Brianna Bubeck (Selkirk, N.Y.) hit the back of the net just 1:43 into the contest. UNH suddenly became alive however and lit up the scoreboard with four straigth goals, two each by Jill Albee and Katie Leland. Senior Hope Zelinger (Ellicott City, Md.) notched her first of the game at the 14:21 mark to end the Wildcat run. After another UNH goal, Zelinger found the cage once again, this time on a free-position shot at 8:43, marking the first of five consecutive Massachusetts goals. During that spurt, Bubeck tallied her second unassisted goal of the game, while Zelinger notched two more goals, both assisted by Drown. Drown then got a goal of her own at the 1:14 mark, as the Minutewomen took a 7-5 lead into halftime.
The Wildcats were able to begin the second half by tying the contest at seven each, as they scored goals at 26:39 and 25:37. Drown then brought the lead back up to two however, as an unassisted goal and a free-position goal made the lead 9-7 in favor of the Minutewomen. Kristin Blanchette's goal at 7:40 brought UNH to within one, but Zelinger widened the UMass edge back to two goals with her fifth of the day at the 5:42 mark. The lead would not hold up however, as Leland tallied goals at 3:51 and 1:19, to send the game into overtime.
The first overtime period saw Jess Burnap notch her first of the game, while Drown hit the back of the net for her fourth score of the game with just 1:24 left, to force a second overtime period. Just 16 seconds into the second overtime, UNH was awarded a free-position shot. Lauren Dosdall took it and shot it past UMass junior goalkeeper Joey Rubin (Yorktown, N.Y.) for the gamewinner.
Rubin came up with 11 saves in the game, while her Wildcat counterpart, Stacy Plati, made 11 as well.
The Minutewomen will be back in action on Wednesday, March 31, as they travel to Storrs, Conn. for a 3:00 p.m. matchup with the Huskies.

College Hockey:This Week in SUNYAC: Feb. 4, 2010
The Aftermath
Now that a week has passed since the NCAA announcement sanctioning Buffalo State and Geneseo, the two teams involved have had some time to let it sink in. Their reactions have been admirable, and any anger they have is channeled properly.
"In terms of how the team is handling it, they are remarkably resilient," Geneseo coach Chris Schultz said. "The senior class has been amazing. They took control of the locker room immediately. They want to play the game with integrity and honor. They understand in the grand scheme of life, this is just a fork in the road, not a roadblock. I'm very proud of this team, and they should be proud of themselves."
"It comes down to their attitude towards competition and hockey," Buffalo State coach Nick Carriere said. "I hate to use the clich, but we are playing for pride. We can play to be the spoiler. After it was all explained to them, one of our seniors stood up and said, 'Let's make the playoffs and let the NCAA take us out of it.'"
This is what is going to make these two teams particularly dangerous. They have nothing to lose and will be taking out what happened to them on their opposition.
"We're going to play it out as if a top playoff seed is available," Schultz said. "The guys really want to try to run the table here."
Of course, it is the seniors that suffer the most along with the Canadians who must decide whether to give up hockey or give up the Canadian grants they received.
"I feel bad for both of them," Oswego coach Ed Gosek said. "I feel especially bad for the players. The seniors on those teams who were fighting for their lives to make the playoffs and now they are not going to have the opportunity. I put myself in the situation if it happened here, how awful you would feel for the players especially in their senior year."
Much energy has been written about what happened, how it could have been avoided, and the details behind it all. The bottom line is the NCAA felt that these two schools had inadvertently set up a de facto athletic scholarship which is a no-no for Division III. Thus, there was no choice but to punish them, even if it meant certain individual students would also suffer, through no fault of their own.
Interestingly, it is the ones who are suffering the most — the players — who are handling it better than the fans on the USCHO message board.
"They are being so professional about this," Schultz said. "They're already past this. They've accepted it."
It's time everybody else does, too.
Morrisville is Eligible
Yes, you read that correctly. Morrisville is eligible for the SUNYAC playoffs.
"We knew it all along," Morrisville coach Brian Grady said. "With the whole Buff State, Geneseo thing going on, it brought us into light."
So, why all the confusion? There are a few reasons.
For those of you who have followed the Morrisville saga in this column the last few years, you may recall that a new NCAA member must go through a four year probation period. During that time, the institution has to show the NCAA they are following all NCAA regulations properly and are in complete compliance.
The school can ask the NCAA to speed that process along and be granted approval in three years. Morrisville asked for this, and after three years, the NCAA agreed that Morrisville was doing everything correctly, and declared the school a full fledged member.
"They felt we were ready," Grady said. "It was great for us."
Again, why the confusion? Because there are other factors to consider.
Morrisville only has two teams in the SUNYAC (the rest of the teams play in the North Eastern Athletic Conference): field hockey and ice hockey.
The field hockey team provides the SUNYAC with seven teams, making the conference eligible for an NCAA automatic qualifier bid. However, the conference could not apply to the NCAA for that AQ until Morrisville was an eligible NCAA member.
Once they were, the conference application then has a two year waiting period, so the NCAA can see that all teams in the conference are serious members. Thus, during this two year waiting period, the Morrisville field hockey team was not eligible for the SUNYAC playoffs.
"However, since hockey already had an automatic qualifier, we were eligible," Grady said. "The SUNYAC mixed us in with the field hockey team and just assumed we were not eligible. It was an honest mistake. Thus, we asked for a clarification, and got it."
Morrisville can make a run for a conference playoff spot, and now they only need to beat out one other team. They are currently four points behind Cortland (who they host on February 12) and five points behind Potsdam who they travel to on Friday.
"We certainly didn't make it easier for ourselves this past weekend," Grady said about his team losing twice. "Certainly, us beating Potsdam earlier has them circling this game on their calendar. I expect a hard physical, fast paced game with playoff implications. They know it. We know it."
The next day, Morrisville has to go to Stafford Arena.
"Obviously, the schedule works in their [Plattsburgh's] favor," Grady said. "We'll worry about Saturday when we get there. We're trying to think small. Just look five feet in front of our face. Plattsburgh is struggling lately, so they will be hungry. They obviously want to get back on the winning track. But so do we."
Fizzled Out
All that excitement concerning the playoff race and the tightness of the fifth through ninth place pack has suddenly petered out with last week's announcement. The multi-team playoff race disappeared.
There is still a playoff spot to be fought over with the clarification that Morrisville is indeed eligible, but now it comes down to seven teams, instead of nine, fighting for six spots.
At the top, teams are starting to settle in. Oswego holds a five point lead and the tie-breaker over Plattsburgh. Thus, with four games left for each team, the magic number is three points. Oswego has also clinched a bye in the first round and home ice in the semifinals since the best Fredonia can do is tie them, but the Lakers hold the tiebreaker.
Fredonia sits five points behind Plattsburgh with a game in hand and they get to play them the following weekend. Meanwhile, Brockport sits four points behind Fredonia with each of those teams having five games to play.
Therefore, fights still exist for the all important home ice and there is still the potential for some great hockey and individual games like we saw this past weekend.
On top of the heap, of course, was the Plattsburgh at Oswego rivalry. The game and the fan-induced white-out lived up to all the hype.
Assistant captain Neil Musselwhite put the home team in front just 34 seconds after the opening faceoff. Tom Breslin tied it up six minutes later, but Oswego got the lead back before the end of the period with a Justin Fox goal.
Jon Whitelaw made it 3-1 early in the second prompting Plattsburgh to pull Josh Leis and put in Ryan Williams. Williams did not let up a goal the rest of the way, but unfortunately for the Cardinals, his team only scored one more when Phil Farrow got one in the third. Kyle Gunn-Taylor made 27 saves in the win.
Oswego now has a 19 game winning streak, is 20-1-0 overall, and undefeated in the SUNYAC at 12-0-0. In years prior, the upcoming home game against Cortland would be the perfect letdown performance.
"Other years, there's been a lack of focus at certain points in the year," Oswego coach Ed Gosek said. "With this team I think again our senior leadership really stepped up and gets them focused every game. Even the returning players, they get the freshmen believing. It's one shift, one period, one game at a time. I think it's a big part of why we didn't lose our focus with Potsdam. Hopefully, we'll keep that focus with Cortland. It's our last home game of the year. Senior night. It doesn't matter who we're playing, they want to see the

You flinched as Elizaveta opened her window that was beside your's and yelled for the albino to shut up quite loudly, smashing something inside of her dorm next door. You exhaled, trying to calm yourself, and resist the urge to join Elizaveta in screaming at the top of your lungs.
"(Name)! Lizzie's attacking me!" Gilbert yelped loudly, followed by more cursing in Hungarian.
You stormed to the window just as a frying pan flew from the Hungarian's window, it would've hit Gil if he hadn't of jumped from it's range quickly. "Go home!" You commanded the drunk Prussian.
"No! The Awesome Me loves you!" He yelled holding out his bare arms as if he was about to give you a big bear hug. You noticed that he was naked, except for the white pair of boxers sporting the Prussian flag. He must've been streaking earlier, "and the awesome me won't stop until you're in his arms."
"Please, (Name)," Elizaveta stuck her head out of the window beside your's, "get in his arms! I have a test tomorrow, I need my sleep." She pleaded.
"I love you!" Gilbert yelled, "why do birds suddenly appear, everytime, you are near?" He started singing, his key horribly off, going from high to low slurrily, "just like me, they want to be, close to y-o-u!"
"Shut up!" You commanded, blushing fiercely, knowing that you and Gil would be the talk of the school by tomorrow.
He pointed at you, "I'm taking that as an invitation to come up!" then he proceeded to run inside of the girl's dormatory building, not waiting to hear your refusal.
You sighed, pulling away from the window and pushing it down to shut it. "(Name), the awesomeness is here." A slurred voice sounded from outside your closed door.
"I'm not letting you in, Gil." You resolved, crawling under the warm covers of your small bed, resting your head on the pillow and reaching over to the nightstand, turning off the lamp with just a click.
"One day," The Prussian's voice was just a whisper, but loud enough to hear through your door, "I'm going to marry you." He promised.
Your cheeks warmed, your heart skipping a beat at his vow, "...goodnight, Gilbert."
"Goodnight, (Name)..."
The door cracked open slightly, his tall figure shadowed against the light, "And sweet dreams." He whispered, closing the door again, slipping the extra key back under the matt, and sliding down the wall, his bare legs pulled against his chest, his arms around his knees.
You weren't in his arms, but he'd take what he could get.

PURPOSE: To report our experience with ureteral obstruction after injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Dx/Ha) to treat vesicoureteral reflux, and analyze its possible causes, management and outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective review of patients undergoing injection of Dx/Ha. The charts of patients with clinically relevant ureteral obstruction were evaluated for indications, prior interventions, technique of injection and volume injected. Video recordings obtained during injection were analyzed to detect possible technical errors. RESULTS: Fifty-four patients (87 ureters) were treated with Dx/Ha injection in a 5-year period. Five ureters (5.7%) in five patients (9.3%) developed significant ureteral obstruction requiring intervention. Manifestations of obstruction included pain in two patients, urinary tract infections in one and loss of function in one. Increased serum creatinine was observed in a patient with a transplanted kidney. Four obstructions resolved spontaneously (two after percutaneous nephrostomy, two after placement of a ureteral stent) and one required reimplantation. Review of the videos did not reveal any deviation from the usual technique. The volumes injected in the obstructed cases (0.7-1.2ml) were in the usual range. CONCLUSIONS: In this series, the incidence of post Dx/Ha ureteral obstruction was higher than previously reported. Although 4/5 cases resolved spontaneously, they required drainage to relieve symptoms or to improve renal function. Surgeons need to be aware of this complication and include its possible occurrence in the informed consent obtained prior to injection.

Patterns and Samples for GlassFish from Antonio and Adam
By pelegri on May 06, 2010
Kenai is back after its data center move (congrats to David, Lea, et al!) so this seems a good moment to remind GlassFish users of Adam and Antonio's projects on Patterns and Samples. Both projects are based on best-selling books, both leveraging JavaEE 6 and using GlassFish.
• Java EE Patterns and Best Practices is led by Adam Bien and is based on Real World Java EE Patterns. The samples are available under GPL; the project is very popular and has 335 members.
• Beginning Java EE 6 is led by Antonio Goncalves. The samples are based on Beginning JavaEE 6 Platform with GlassFish 3 and are available under ASL2.
The JavaEE SDK includes its own set of samples (glassfish-samples). If you know of other significant, good-quality, sets of samples for GlassFish, post them as comments with a way to reach you. More GlassFish books here.

Intel releases firmware update for Series 320 SSDs
Tries to avoid a downgrade to 8MB
CHIPMAKER Intel has released a firmware update for its Larson Creek Series 320 solid state disk (SSD) drives.
Intel's low-end Larson Creek SSDs have been a popular low-cost upgrade for many, with the 30GB SSD being well suited for use as an 'operating system drive'. However for the past month users have been reporting faults with their Intel SSDs, saying that following reboots the SSD was being recognised as a 8MB unit, a capacity that might have been useful if the year was 1974.
Last week Intel finally announced that it had worked out what was causing the problem, though it did not go into any real detail. All it said was that a fix was making its way through validation testing, which now seems to have continued for four days.
Intel is recommending that all Series 320 SSD users install the new firmware, however those that have already fallen for the "Bad Context 13x Error" will need to get in touch with the retailer to arrange for a replacement.
For Intel the problems with its Series 320 SSDs are doubly embarrassing. Not only did the company pride itself on its reputation for SSDs that it built through the superb X25 models but Series 320 SSDs are the only drives in its current range that have an Intel controller.
The past few months have been tough in the SSD market, with firms having to deal with dodgy controllers. The popular Sandforce 2200 series of controllers have garnered particular attention and even Intel got caught out with its controller. Nevertheless, Intel's fairly quick turnaround for the firmware update should help users retain faith in the chipmaker's SSDs. µ

Currently, about a quarter of that distance is open in two disconnected trail segments. The section in Hanover begins at Moul Field and extends for nearly 2 miles to Gitts Run Road. A few miles northeast, another segment is open in Jackson Township, from the Spring Grove Borough/Jackson Township line for approximately a mile and a half to Martin Road. A trailhead is located along Hershey Road at about its midpoint. Click to read more Parking and Trail Access To access the Spring Grove segment: From State Route 116, turn onto Sprenkle Road and go about 0.5 mile to Hershey Road; turn right. There is parking here.

2 April 2015
The Wiesbaden Group is an informal body and participation is voluntary. Participants are, however, required to contribute to the programme of the biannual meetings of the group. Although its mandate does not emanate from a formal body, the Wiesbaden Group reports to the UN Statistical Commission on its activities and recommendations of practices and standards.
Organization of work:
The group was established in 1986 under the name Roundtable of Business Survey Frames and the first meeting took place in Ottawa, Canada. In 2007 the group was renamed to the Wiesbaden Group on Business Registers to be in line with the naming of other UN City Groups. Until 2008 meetings were organized annually; after 2008 the group has met every second year.
In 2005 a Steering Group was set up. The Steering Group includes members of National Statistical offices and international organizations. Current members of the group are: Austria, France, Germany, United Kingdom, United States (BLS and CB), Eurostat, OECD and UNECE. Besides assisting the host of the upcoming meeting, the Steering Group ensures coordination with meetings on related topics, promotes the output of the Wiesbaden Group and actively engages the UN Statistical Commission and other senior management forums to promote the work of the Wiesbaden Group and seek their inputs regarding future activities.
The Wiesbaden Group meetings are organized every second year, alternating with the biennial meetings of the Group of Experts on Business Registers jointly organized by UNECE, Eurostat and OECD. The meetings of the Wiesbaden Group and the Expert Group complement each other. To ensure close coordination of work and avoiding duplication of efforts the Steering Group prepares and oversees the activities of both groups and ensures that the agendas of the meetings are coordinated in advance.
The meetings are organized around national progress reports and a number of sessions on selected substantial topics. National progress reports have also been collected for years when the Wiesbaden Group did not meet and disseminated via the Wiesbaden Group website (CIRCABC).
Products of the Wiesbaden Group:
Papers and proceedings of the Wiesbaden Group meetings are publicly available through the CIRCABC website: https://circabc.europa.eu/w/browse/5003aea0-6de2-47eb-9d0b-465cd12bad24
The last meeting of the Wiesbaden Group, September 2014:
The last meeting of the Wiesbaden Group took place in Vienna, Austria, on 15-18 September 2014. It was organized by the Wiesbaden Steering Group and hosted by Statistics Austria.
Information about the meeting and submitted papers and reports will be made available on the meeting's website, www.statistik.at/wiesbaden2014
The following countries and organizations participated in the meeting:
Norbert Rainer
Previous meeting of the Wiesbaden group September 2012:
The 2012 meeting of the Wiesbaden Group took place in Washington, DC, 17-21 September 2012, hosted and organized by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the U.S. Census Bureau (CB).
The following countries and organizations participated in the meeting:
Austria, Canada, China, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Netherlands, Norway, Oman, Poland, Republic of Belarus, Russian Federation, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates (UAE), United Kingdom, United States of America, Eurostat, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United nations Statistical Division (UNSD) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).

NEWARK, N.J. -- Philadelphia Flyers forward Sean Couturier, sidelined the past two games with a stomach virus, will be in the lineup on Friday against the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center.
Couturier, who missed the opening two games of Philadelphia's current six-game road trip against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets, has two goals and five points in 12 games. He had 13 goals and 27 points in 77 games for the Flyers as a rookie last season.
Couturier will likely center Maxime Talbot and Zac Rinaldo on the fourth line to begin the game. In seven career games against New Jersey, Couturier has one goal, three points and a plus-5 rating.
The Flyers are 4-1-1 over the past six games. Flyers coach Peter Laviolette will start Ilya Bryzgalov between the pipes. In seven career starts against the Devils, Bryzgalov is 4-2-0 with a 1.54 goals-against average, .939 save percentage and two shutouts.

Parents Allow "Baby Gaga" Daughter
The following video is creepy, it is in which we see parents have allowed their daughter/son to assume the identity of Lady Gaga.
As you know, Gaga is a mean man lesbian, that is , a person with man parts but masquerades as a lesbian to double confuse everyone.
Here is the video and go ahead and let your entire family watch it, then use it to explain the dangers of gays and their agenda of corrupting America by exploiting our children. Discuss with your family all the gay diseases that are out there and how it's warned about in the Bible, then follow that up with education on how this lifestyle will also lead your sons and daughters to shame, depression then eventually drug use and death. Thanks.

If you watched the Emmys this past weekend, you probably sighed over the perfect skin and makeup sported by stars like Blake Lively and January Jones. Ditto for flipping through any fashion magazine: everyone looks so flawless yet natural at the same time. Why? Airbrushed makeup - we're not talking photoshop here, people, but actual spray-on makeup.
In this edition of Aspire/Acquire, we're covering two versions of airbrushed foundation at hugely varied ends of the price spectrum: Natural Beauty inspired by Carmindy Airbrush Spray Makeup ($14) and the new TEMPTU AIRbrush Makeup System. ($225 starter kit + $30-55 pod refills)
Natural Beauty inspired by Carmindy Airbrush Spray Makeup isn't meant to be sprayed directly onto the face; rather, put some on the back of your hand & then blend this lightweight, oil-free product onto your face with a sponge. You get a sort-of airbrushed effect with very smooth, even coverage, and for $14, that ain't bad. There's even a "no color" shade for a translucent finish.
The hyper-expensive TEMPTU AIRbrush Makeup System is favored by Hollywood makeup artists, and once you get the hang of the application it's easy to see why. It's a very fine, focused mist that you apply in small circular motions and then blend with a sponge if needed. We do recommend putting towels over your chest, shoulders, and hair to avoid any spills. Reviewers say the "pods" system (product comes loaded in little aerosol pods) is a little unwieldy to swap out, but the perfect coverage is worth it.
Have you tried either of these products? What did you think? Let us know in the comments section!
Correction...Temptu's Makeup Pods do not contain Aerosol!!! The makeup is projected by air alone!
I love my Temptu Airbrush Makeup System...it's the greatest invention for makeup!
Hi! I work for Temptu and I just wanted to let you know that towels are not needed for our airbrush. The spray is very precise and controlled and will only spray where you want it to. There is no way to get makeup on you chest and shoulders, if you are spraying your face.
Thanks for the clarifications on Temptu, y'all! Much appreciated. :)
Thanks, Laura & Temptu! It's true, after you get the hang of application with the Temptu, you won't need towels (although it's a good idea to pull your hair off your face so you don't get it on bangs). However, some of the reviews we read did mention that airbrushing newbies might make mistakes, since we're not all fabu makeup artists. But good to know that practice makes perfect!!
I love the Natural Beauty spray! Quick and easy, and it blends in very well. In fact, I love the whole Carmindy line - I was buying all my Smashbox products before from Sephora but the NB line is pretty much the same thing and it's half or even third of the price.
The Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired By Carmindy cosmetics line is the best makeup ever and available at great prices. So, forget those expensive brands, this line is all you will need. I love it!!! Not enough women have heard of these great products, but try them; you are going to love this line!
Do you know where I can buy Sally Hansen by Carmindy on-line? The closest places to buy are over 100 miles away from me.
I've got the Temptu Air Pod System AND Dinair.. I use Dinair for everyday and the Temptu on the days I know I will be sweating alot.. Gym, outdoors, etc. The Temptu is an awesome system!

But I'm struggling to get move to find the edited files and move them en masse into the folder. I keep getting the error

"So it's true: All those cryptic clues have been pointing to a new Boards of Canada album. Tomorrow's Harvest is out June 10 via Warp. It's the band's first album since 2005's The Campfire Headphase and the 2006 Trans Canada Highway EP. Scottish brothers Mike and Marcus Sandison began making music together as young children. They started recording as Boards of Canada in the mid-1990s, releasing early EPs Twoism and Hi Scores. They broke through with the electronic music classic Music Has the Right to Children in 1998. Following the well-received Geogaddi in 2002, they released The Campfire Headphase in 2005 and the Trans Canada Highway EP in 2006 and then went silent. They gave a rare interview in September 2005, right before the release of The Campfire Headphase." (label info)
