About Me Brand Buyer
Comments about GENTLE TOUCH Makeup Remover - 4.3 oz:
I have never written a review before but for this product i just had to. This is by far the best make up remover. I have never found a make up remover that does not irritate my eyes apart from this one. Even when it gets into the eyes it does not burn or sting like other make u removers. and it removes matte liquid lipsticks with just one swipe and leaves my lips feeling soft. I love other skin care products from this company as well.
Service and delivery comments:
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works great
By Marie
from Denver, CO
This is an effective liquid makeup remover, not much more to it. It doesn't sting my eyes and I don't have to scrub with a cotton round. I do follow up with a lotion or oil cleanser that I take over my eyes, but there isn't a super oily residue.
Takes it all off!
By LCG
from Cincinnati, Ohio
I bought this ages ago and have barely made a dent! Be sure to shake it first. It is very effective for all the heavy, waterproof makeup-especially waterproof mascara and lipstick. I've also used it over my whole face and it really did the job. I'm just not sure it is a daily cleanser-i've not used it that way. So it lasts a long time if you are only using it for "spot" makeup removal. Not at all drying, which is super nice and unusual in a powerful makeup remover.

About Me Budget Buyer
I only need to dab at my eyes to get this to remove my eye makeup. I was in awe of how well it worked. In the past I've had to pull at my eyes, even with coconut oil. With this I just put a bit on a cotton round and dab, and it comes right off. Seriously awesome- I got this for free and I never thought I would want to spend this much on makeup remover, but I will definitely be getting more.
Always good delivery

Ok but not perfect
By BB
from CA
I received a full size bottle on a free promotion and was excited it came just as I was running out of the pre-moistened eye remover cloths I was using. I've been using it every day with no sensitivity and like that it doesn't leave a greasy film behind, BUT when I use this and then wash my face with the Skin Recovery cleanser my vision gets blurry because this product runs into my eyes while I'm rinsing. It's a disconcerting feeling. Now that I know it's caused by the makeup remover I wet a second cotton round with warm water and wipe over the area once all makeup is removed to get off whatever residue is getting in my eyes. This seems to help.
Always prompt delivery.

directions confusing
By wizzy
from san angelo tx.
I used a sample packet and was surprised the cleanser was liquid. I read the instructions and was confused re "use before or after CLEANSING your skin". So, I'm supposed to cleanse before I use this Gentle Touch, or after? Directions don't make sense. Skin felt okay after cleansing.
Gentle and effective
By Paula's choice fan
from Canada
I have a sensitive eye area and this gentle makeup remover helps me easily remove my eye makeup with no irritation. Some makeup removers are hard to wash off after but this one washes off easily.
Excellent product that will make your eyes look better!
By I.M.
from Ottawa, ON
I love this product. I suffer from sensitive eyes, easily irritated skin, eye-lid eczema, etc and have been very unhappy with how my under eye area looked. I finally decided to give PC products a chance after relying on her reviews for locally available products. For anyone with eye sensitivities in particular, it is critical to pick a product that you can trust, one that does not contain any irritating ingredients whether it is an eye-cream, moisturizer, or eye make up remover. In the past, I reacted severely to baby oil, which I thought was a "safe" choice to remove make up! Was I ever wrong! All that to say - invest in a good and gentle eye remover like this one and you will achieve a better look of your eyes overall!
Prompt delivery, no issues whatsoever.

Excellent Make Up Remover! Takes everything off and not oily, does not leave any residue. Better than Lancome one.

Marc Miller's book A Seat at the Table is about the changing role of sales, and how the sluggish economy has forced salespeople to become more important to their customers.
"You know, there was never a search engine where customers, you know, five years ago or ten years ago, could go an Google your competition and procurement is standardized and organizations understand how to play salespeople off against each other to drive the spend in the wallet down. We really didn't have a global economy per se ten years ago. Now we have these three billion capitalists today who, you know, are willing to a lot more for a lot less. Product lifecycles are shrinking every day because technology is very disruptive to product lifecycles."
Miller says salespeople need to be viewed as a caring consultant and not just a seller, adding value to a prospect's current strategy instead of using tactical selling to sell something the prospect may not even need.
"Assuming you have the 'helping, not selling' attitude–because that's what customers want–you know, what customers are saying today, and this is research after research is, you know, they want salespeople, especially from a business to business standpoint, who understand their business, understand their competition, can help them drive the growth of their business. So not just sell me products, but drive the bigger issues around my business. You know, drive some major productivity gains in my business, take costs out of structure, and then secondly help me innovate, help me create new kinds of value for my customers."
Miller says the goal is to evolve from being a 'salesperson' to becoming 'businessperson who sells' and that can lead to a seat at the table, helping guide the strategic direction of an enterprise.

... And then someone came down the trail in the opposite direction. Not seen a single person all day. So typical. But so dam funny. And worrying how unembarrassed we were actually.

Computer Scams Threaten To 'Borrow' Your Identity
Ten Million Americans have been victims of identity theft according to a 2003 survey. The average cost to the victim is appropriately $5,000, and Americans spend about 300 million hours trying to set things right.
"Once it's done to you, it never goes away," said Detective Domingo Gon zalez of the New York Police Depart ment's Computer Crime Squad. "It's there for a long, long time."
Gonzalez and Detective Travis Rapp (also from the Computer Crime Squad) gave two workshops on January 21 at the Arverne Public Library and the 101st Precinct House on the dangers of computer crime. The workshops were sponsored by Far Rockaway's Weed and Seed program.
People can guard their personal information online with some knowledge of how thieves work.
"The top Internet providers will never, ever ask you for personal in formation," Gonzalez said at the workshops.
Many people unknowingly give out personal information when responding to emails that seem to be from their Internet provider.
These emails warn the customer about a problem with their account. The customer is asked to click on a link provided within the email to provide information such as full name, address, credit card number, and social security number.
This method of identity theft is known as 'phishing'. Another phishing scam on the Internet are web pages that look like the originals. Detective Gonzalez, who was looking for a copy of the American Express credit card logo for a presentation in October, came across one such site in a web search. "I figured it was the actual site," explained Gonzalez. "It was asking me for my credit card information. When I looked at the [website address] at the top it was an AOL members web page85. All the information looked exactly like the American Express page. It was all phony. We investigated it and shut it down."
The Detectives said to challenge everything that asks for personal information, whether it is delivered by email or regular mail. Ask why the information is needed, and call your provider if you believe the request for information is bogus.
When choosing a password to log on to the Internet, make it a difficult one. A hacker needs just minutes to crack a password. Passwords should contain unusual characters and upper and lower case lettering.
"The number one password people use is 'password', explained Gonzalez. "Make it very difficult. This will take a lot longer to crack because its got to look at different variations."
Other safety procedures include never automatically log on to the Internet with a saved password and always log off after an online session. Since DSL and cable connections are always on, shut your computer and the modem off when they are not in use.
When you discard a computer, al ways remember to remove the hard drive or use a program that will 'wipe' the hard drive clean. Just de leting information will not work, because it can be retrieved.
If you do online shopping, do as Gonzalez's boss does, window shop online for the best prices and then use an available 800 to order the merchandise by telephone.
Gonzalez also cautioned against downloading or clicking on a link that you know nothing about.
People must guard against identity theft offline as well.
A shredder will protect against 'dumpster diving'.
"You throw out your garbage, its got your name, your identification 85 and criminals just dump in and grab it out of there," described Gonzalez.
There is also the possibility of company employees stealing personal records.
"Employees – I don't care what line of work, political offices, firemen, AMEX, big credit card companies, banks – you're going to have bad apples no matter what you do," said Gonzalez, who told about one person arrested for giving out information from applications used by The New York State Federal In sur ance Fund.
Be wary of pickpockets and never, ever carry your social security card with you. Also, keep an eye on your credit card when you use it or you could become a victim of what is known as 'skimming' where your card is swiped on a skimming mach ine that saves the information from the magnetic strip.
Gonzalez and Rabb urged everyone to order their credit report once a year, change passwords to their computer frequently, and research all you can about identity theft.
If you are a victim, report it to the three major credit bureaus immediately and close all your accounts.
"Identity theft, your personal in formation, is money to someone," con cluded Gonzalez. "It's not just you could be out all this money, it's possible someone could knock on your door and arrest for a crime you didn't commit."

Floral Moss Wreath
Crafting Time:
- 1-2 Hours
Skill Level:
- Beginner
Project Courtesy of: Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores
Additional Information
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun & glue sticks
- Moss roll spools 2-1/2" x 36" (2)
- Moss roll spool 6" x 36"
- 14" square wreath frame
- Package 72" grass rope
- Assorted sticks/twigs
- Sheets of Floral-heads only (3)
- Using the smaller moss roll spool, measure out the desired length of moss to fill one side of the frame. Cut desired length from the spool and tuck it into one side of the wire frame.
- Continue this process until all sides are filled in.
- Using the larger moss roll, cut desired pieces needed to fill in any empty holes or thinner spots throughout the wreath. These pieces can be tuked in.
- Separate the grass roping from packaging. With one strand of rope, tie a knot at one of the corners on the backside of the frame and begin wrapping the rope around the moss frame at desired intervals.
- Continue tying off the ends of the rope and starting another, until the entire wreath has been wrapped in the roping.
- Place florals in desired location on wreath. Wrap them tightly to adhere to the frame, or hot glue them into place.
- Add the sticks and twigs in desired location to accent the florals. Adhere with the hot glue.
- Turn the wreath over and add a dab of hot glue to the knots on the roping to firmly attach the roping to the frame.

A breadcrumbs trail is a navigational aid that shows users a hierarchical view of the web pages they've traversed. It's a simple and useful way to orient users within a web site, especially as web sites get deeper and more complex.
This is Part 2 of a series of articles on creating a breadcrumb trail. Part 1 focused on creating the basic code for generating a breadcrumb trail, albeit with a few minor limitations. This article focuses on streamlining the code a little, while packaging it up to be more reusable.
Using the original code from Part 1, the show_breadcrumbs method could be called in a view to generate the HTML for the breadcrumb trail, as shown below:
<%= show_breadcrumbs( ['Home', ['main'], 'Tools', ['tools'], 'Antimatter', ['tools', 'antimatter']], :direction => 'left') %>
In the code above, the first argument is an array, where each breadcrumb element is represented by a pair of array entries. The first value is the name of the breadcrumb, e.g. - the name of the link. The second is an array containing the data necessary to construct the link, such as [controller, action] or [url]. In practice, this all turned out be overkill.
As much as possible, most developers nowadays are using a RESTful approach when building Rails web sites. With a RESTful approach, you use map.resources in your routes.rb file to define resources, which have well-defined behaviors, e.g. - List, Show, Create, Edit, etc. As a by-product, Rails defines helper methods that can be called in views and controllers to provide the URL for a route. For example, an "articles" resource will possess an articles_url method that represents the List action for instances of that type of resource.
Bottom Line: Most developers are tossing around URLs, rather than controller/action pairs. So, we can simplify the structure that we've been using to represent a breadcrumb trail:
<%= breadcrumbs( ['Home', root_url, 'Tools', tools_url, 'Antimatter', antimatter_url], :direction => 'left') %>
So, now a breadcrumb trail is represented as an array, with each consecutive pair of elements defining the label and URL, respectively. The caller is responsible for providing the URL, which can be either a relative ("/home/tools/antimatter") URL or an absolute URL. It can even be an external URL or a URL with parameters.
Furthermore, we'll rename the show_breadcrumbs method to simply breadcrumbs. This isn't just a syntax change; the method generates the HTML for a breadcrumbs trail. It doesn't actually show the breadcrumb trail.
This also facilitates the use of the method in both views and controllers, rather than just views. Within a view, the generated HTML can be displayed, as show in the code above. If used in a controller, the generated HTML can be placed in a variable that will be accessible to the view.
@trail = breadcrumbs( ['Home', root_url, 'Tools', tools_url, 'Antimatter', antimatter_url], :direction => 'left')
This approach seems reasonable to me. It provides developers with reusable code for generating the HTML for a breadcrumb trail, but lets the developer determine where the responsibility for generating a breadcrumb trail belongs.
The modified code is shown in Figure 1.
Listing 1 - Modified Breadcrumbs Code
module Breadcrumbs def self.included(klass) klass.send(:extend, ClassMethods) klass.send(:include, InstanceMethods) end module ClassMethods end # ClassMethods module InstanceMethods # Returns a string containing the HTML necessary to display a # breadcrumb trail. The first arg contains an array of elements, # where the first element is the name of a breadcrumb, the # second is an array containing values for assembling a URL # (controller, controller & action, or external URL), and so on in # alternating fashion. The final arg is a hash containing options, # where the only option currently defined is ":direction". This # can have values of either "left" or "right", and governs which # way the breadcrumbs will be oriented. The default is "right". # # An example of the method's usage in a view is: # # <%= breadcrumbs( # ['Home', 'home_url', # 'Tools', 'tools_url', # 'Antimatter', 'antimatter_url'], :direction => 'left') %> def breadcrumbs(crumbs, opts = nil) direction = 'right' # Default direction separator = breadcrumb_separator_right # Default separator if opts != nil dir = opts[:direction] if dir == 'left' direction = dir separator = breadcrumb_separator_left end end str = "" if crumbs.size > 0 str += '
' if direction == 'right' i = 0 while i < crumbs.size url = crumbs[i + 1] str += " #{separator} " if i > 0 str += build_crumb(crumbs[i], url) i += 2 end else # Direction equals left i = crumbs.size - 2 while i >= 0 url = crumbs[i + 1] str += " #{separator} " if i < (crumbs.size - 2) str += build_crumb(crumbs[i], url) i -= 2 end end str += '
' end str end # Returns TRUE if the provided value is an external URL and # FALSE if it represents the name of a controller. External # URL's can be easily distinguished because they # begin with "http://". def is_external_breadcrumb?(val) val.to_s.start_with?('http') end # Returns a string containing the HTML for one breadcrumb # link within a breadcrumb trail. The first argument is the title # of the link, while the second is the destination URL for the # link. def build_crumb(title, url) str = "" if is_external_breadcrumb?(url) str += "#{title}" else str += "#{title}" end str end # Defines the separator used between breadcrumb elements # when the breadcrumbs are traversed from right to left, i.e. - the # separator points to the left. def breadcrumb_separator_left "<" end # Defines the separator used between breadcrumb elements # when the breadcrumbs are traversed from left to right, i.e. - the # separator points to the right. This is the direction in which most # breadcrumb trails are oriented. def breadcrumb_separator_right ">" end end # InstanceMethods end # Module
We've made some changes to the breadcrumbs code, but the code is still just a single Ruby source file stored in the lib directory of a Rails application. So, let's turn it into a plugin.
Run the following command from the command-line:
$ script/generate plugin breadcrumbs
This will generate the files and directories for a plugin within the vendor/plugins/breadcrumbs directory. The files generated are shown below:
Our code from Listing 1 should be copied into the breadcrumbs.rb file in the lib directory of the plugin. We also need to add some initialization code to the init.rb file:
require 'breadcrumbs' ActionController::Base.send :include, Breadcrumbs ActionController::Base.send :helper_method, breadcrumbs
This code ensures that the methods from the plugin are included as instance methods within the ActionController::Base class, where they'll be accessible to controllers. However, the breadcrumbs method is also registered as a helper method, which means that it will be accessible to views, too.
This is also an improvement over the breadcrumbs code in Part 1 of this article series. The user no longer has to explicitly include the breadcrumbs code. The plugin code is automatically added to the class load path and made available to both controllers and views.
We've made some improvements to the breadcrumbs code, and we've packaged it up in a more reusable fashion as a Rails plugin. By doing so, we've also made the code a little easier for developers to use because the breadcrumbs functionality is automatically accessible to controllers and views.
We're not done with improvements, though. Plugins have been gently deprecated in the Rails community due to their limitations, of which the primary one is their lack of a versioning capability (something that is, however, provided by gems). In Part 3 of this series, we'll further enhance the reusability of the breadcrumbs code by converting it into a gem and, later, a gem plugin.

We replaced an old fixture in my new dining room with this beautiful fixture. I love the metal and the finish, and the overall design is very contemporary without being cold. The only thing I don't love is the two-part round ceiling plate. It is a flat piece over a ring. I think it would have been better as one solid piece. But overall I love it!

How will theatre survive the credit crunch? That is the question troubling a number of bloggers this week. One solution is theatres banding together to pool their resources. The Playgoer is discussing the possibility of non-profit theatres cutting costs by doing things jointly, such as publicising their work, sharing office space and pooling health insurance. While the Playgoer thinks it's unlikely the egos of New York's artistic directors would be able to cope, he thinks merging companies entirely might be another viable option. Pointing out that cooperation, as opposed to competition, could be the best way to survive, he concludes: "I mean, people, it's called non-profit right? You're not capitalists? So why be so competitive!"
You can see an even more extreme example of the resource-sharing that is going on by having a look at the Chicago theatre scene. Chris Jones at the Theatre Loop blog, points out: "The Chicago renaissance in the performing arts was built on the back of a building and restoration boom." He goes on to argue that, in the current economic climate, the prospects for new theatres being built are slim indeed. This has led to a situation where many theatre companies are being forced to share their home with others. This might be inevitable but it is far from ideal: "Given the economic downturn, sharing of space may turn out to be the new paradigm for Chicago cultural institutions. But even though the benefits … are obvious, sharing performance space is a lot trickier than it seems. Especially if it takes place on less-than-equal terms."
However, as Theatre for the Future reports, Don Hall has an interesting response to this. He argues that the recession could actually be good, or at least not as bad, for some of the much smaller, non-building-based companies who make Chicago their home. "In the world of the homeless, the Gypsy is king", he says. "There are scores of tiny, motivated theater companies that have consistently managed to travel from place to place, "shacking up" in itinerant spaces, putting up productions of both original and previously produced work without ever receiving a major grant or relying on the fat wallets of the monied class to do it. These Gypsy theater companies and artists will feel some of the pinch of our economic malaise but will still continue to, often unheralded or championed, crank out the art."
At the Milwaukee-based blog Artsy Schmartsy, Jonathan West has a slightly different take on the whole issue of financial survival. He starts by examining the case of Scott Eckern who was, until recently, the artistic director of California Musical Theatre. He quit just over a week ago when it was revealed that he had donated $1,000 to the Proposition 8 campaign - a referendum that sought (successfully) to outlaw gay marriage in California. Eckern has been widely vilified for this; Leonard Jacobs, who blogs at the Clyde Fitch Report, describes him as "an enemy of all that is good in America".
This leads West on to thinking about the wider ethical implications of who we are prepared to receive money from: "It gives me pause to consider every donation I ever took as an arts administrator. I think of the fella who loved, loved, loved George Bush and gave oodles of cash to me for a couple of projects. I think of the guy who made me meet him in a strip club one day to talk about a major gift. I think about the countless ticket buyers who supported my work as an artistic director, who I can say with almost absolute certainty didn't share every belief and value system that I hold near and dear to my heart."
It is, obviously, inevitable in any large-scale collaborative process such as theatre-making or fundraising, that we are going to end up working alongside people with whom we strongly disagree. A tough financial climate could see theatre organisations coming into conflict with themselves, as their core underlying principles – both artistic and moral – clash with the imperative to survive.

"That was a motto we started way back: 'Never hit your snooze button,'" said Stewart. "That was a problem in the past."
If the early part of this season is any indication, Stewart can consider that problem solved. His West Virginia team jumped all over Syracuse early in Saturday's contest despite the fact that it was a noon kickoff at the Carrier Dome.
"I think those (early mornings) helped us start like we're starting," the second-year coach said. "Our players are coming out ready to go."
Indeed, WVU did just that against the Orange, racing out to a 27-0 lead at halftime that could have been larger if not for a pair of possessions that stalled in SU territory in the final minutes of the half.
The team didn't quite play the final 30 minutes at the torrid pace it did the opening 30.
Coordinator Jeff Mullen's offense, which appeared to be unstoppable for stretches of the first half, managed only one touchdown in the final two quarters and had four three-and-outs in the same span of time.
The defense, which had allowed only 77 yards of total offense in the first half and given up only one first down on the final five of the Orange's six first half possessions, loosened up just enough to allow backup quarterback Ryan Nassib to fire a pair of touchdown passes.
Thus, a game which appeared to be a complete mismatch early ended with West Virginia winning by "only" three touchdowns at 34-13.
While taking its proverbial foot off the gas pedal didn't prove costly against Syracuse, it potentially could in later games against tougher Big East Conference foes. Stewart now has to address the very opposite problem of the one he dealt with a season ago -- instead of starting fast, his team needs to learn to close opponents out.
"We have to close the deal," he said. "That's maturity and mental toughness. Those are the things this program prides itself on. You fumble here, you fumble there, you don't take a big play to the house and the next thing you know, you're in a battle."
Still, the statistics don't lie. In most every facet of the game, the Mountaineers dominated their opposition in their conference opener.
"When you can control the ball 39:02 and run 74 plays (to SU's 49), that is good," Stewart said. "That doesn't mean you are always going to win, but that certainly gives you a better chance and opportunity to win."
Some miscues continued to haunt the visitors -- notably the three fumbles Stewart's team put on the ground only one week after they lost four. On this occasion, the team managed to recover two of its own fumbles, helping keep the margin of victory high.
"Had we not fumbled again trying to get more yardage on a third down conversion past mid-field, we might have had more (points)," Stewart said. "I hate that. We work on that, and we're going to continue working on that. But other than that mistake, and a kick-off return here or there, I thought we played very well."
This week's opponent is a familiar one for Stewart, who worked for the only other current Football Bowl Subdivision program in the Mountain State in 1980, back when it was a lower-division program.
While Marshall has never beaten the state's flagship land grant institution on the gridiron, some still classify the annual Friends of Coal Bowl as a "rivalry" game. The attention paid to this matchup by fans on both sides should make getting the players emotionally charged up for the contest a bit easier, according to Stewart.
"I can't imagine our team not being ready for that team down south," he said.
"This game isn't a Big East game, but it's the team down south. That's enough said. We had better be ready to play and take our state first before we start worrying about anything else. It's big for me and it's a big game for our players."
Preparing for Marshall (the team) means that Stewart's defensive staff will have to prepare for Marshall (the player).
Running back Darius Marshall anchors the Herd's attack and is the No. 2 rusher in the FBS, averaging 147.4 yards per contest and having nine touchdowns to his credit thus far. He and WVU running back Noel Devine (who slots in at No. 3 in average rushing yards per contest, just behind Marshall) have an identical average of 6.64 yards per rush.
"I watched (him) on the highlights last night -- wow," Stewart said of Marshall. "He runs behind his pads and he is tough."
The Mountaineer head coach also singled out MU defensive end Albert McClellan for praise and said he sees plenty to worry about when watching head coach Mark Snyder's team on film.
"I didn't sleep worth a lick (last night)," Stewart said. "They got a fumble and scored yesterday (in a 31-10 win against Tulane). Those highlights were very much an attention-getter."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
I have a campaign that has been running fine for over a year. Without any pre-warning some of the keywords disappeared from SERP. First I thought it was just routine review but after a week the keywords were still kept frozen in my account. Then I decided to contact Google and got a reply saying that those keywords were suspended. Worst thing is one of them has been permanently suspended for not registering a single click during a certain period of time across the entire Adwords system. And Google decides that 'no one will be able to use that keyword to trigger ad anymore'. So end of the story for that keyword with Adwords. Period.
It feels like the old keyword status algo which was heavily complained about in this forum is back again! Now Google has the choice to either raise the min bid for low traffic keywords, or simply suspend them, permanently if they like. And they don't tell you if your keywords are under review or have been suspended. Either way they're all marked 'Active' still. Brilliant!
The result? Forget about the niche keyword or niche market thing. Just reach deeper in your pocket and spend like crazy your money!
Worst thing is one of them has been permanently suspended for not registering a single click during a certain period of time across the entire Adwords system.
A keyword may be suspended temporarily if it has registered no clicks or impressions for a long period of time (think of this within the context of a system in which there are millions upon millions of searches a day.)
Such keywords can be reactivated automatically if we find that they could start delivering traffic, so they remain listed as 'Active' within your account.
And Google decides that 'no one will be able to use that keyword to trigger ad anymore'. So end of the story for that keyword with Adwords. Period.
This is not correct.
If a keyword is not registering a single click -- then why worry about that keyword.
A very good point. And even more true if a keyword has registered not a single impression over time.
Why does Google think the customer should not be made aware of the status?
Why not mark the suspended words in the users account as inactive?
If a keyword is not registering a single click -- then why worry about that keyword.
I agree. But the truth is the keyword got permanently suspended has generated 182 clicks over its one year or so life time. That's one click every 2-3 days. Considering that the keyword is a very specialized industrial term, a click per 2-3 days is definitely a reasonable traffic volume.
So Google doesn't look at the history of that keyword. They just pick a time frame out of the blue to track the activities, and we don't know how long that period is. By the way, I have a keyword that has accrued 980 clicks got suspended. Any comment on that?
One of my keywords is permanently suspended and no one will be able to use that keyword to trigger ad anymore. That's exactly what I've been told in the email your specialist sent to me.
Of course I would rather believe your version of saying is correct, the suspension is temporary not permanent. So I guess I would put that keyword I've deleted back into my account and see what's gonna happen to it.

90 days without an impression or click is reasonable grounds to dump a keyword. I know that wouldn't suit the purposes of some with unusual campaigns, but would work for most of us. The old "Disabled" told us this. It's impractical for me to 'test' keywords to see if they still have the potential to generate an impression if searched. In fact, I tried an experiment today where I searched on keywords that had gone 10, 30, 90 or 120 days without an impression. Some showed, some did not.
One more designation that made this status visible would do the trick.
AdGroup running for about 1 month.
82 total keywords
29 keywords not showing any impressions
-- My ad shows for 8 of these on Google when I enter the keyword.
-- Of the remaining 21, some show ads for other advertisers or no ads at all.
I understand that Google wants to pare down some of the dead wood keywords, but I question the shortness of the time period involved. 3-6 months without an impression sounds fair, but a month or less?
I'm caught between "broad matching" that doesn't truly broad match and longer keyword phrases which are deactivated for low impressions. I'm trying to expand my Google spending, but it's turning into more and more work.
My guess is the company pays google to NOT display that word in the sponsered search.
Have others found the same?

The Demon's Past
"You filthy vampire," Alastor hissed. He wrapped his fingers around Zane's neck. "Who do you think you are hanging on my fiance like that?" Zane chocked as his eyes starred at him. He stopped struggling and hung there. He blinked awkwardly.
"What the hell are you doing here Alastor?" Amethyst growled. The rest of the group stood behind her, speechless. Tadrith had his hand cupped over Chao's mouth to keep him from any sudden outbursts.
"I've come to get you back," Alastor jeered. Zane looked back at Amethyst, his eyes bore through her heart like a dagger. She looked away.
She turned around, "You guys take the dog. I got this." The group walked away slowly. Amethyst bit her lip and rubbed her head. "Alastor, I'm not going back."
"You're coming back," Alastor yelled.
"I rule you," She screetched. "Now put him down."
"I'm not putting the filthy vermin down until you are under my control. It's your choice."
"Isn't it apparent to you that I'm a vampire now too," She hissed. "You won't love me anyways. Now put him down!" Alastor stood his guard. She narrowed her eyebrows. "You leave me no choice. I'm going to have to kill you now." Alastor smiled. He knew that this woudl be an interesting fight. He tossed Zane to the side. Zane rolled weakly across the ground and laid there partially conscious.
Alastor restored his suit of armor, but Amethyst only grew a pair of fiery wings. Her eyes glowed in a crimson flame, and took her sword and took flight. She took the sword and with her renowned strength stabbed through the metal of his strong armor. She flew upward and cut from the mid section of his chest all the way to the back of his head, breaking his helmet in two. She smiled as his face was now vulnerable. From there she kicked off the rest of his armor, and for the first time he was just in normal clothing.
He took out a sword of his own and they were now almost evenly matched. They spun around for while, swords clanking at every moment that the blades met. Alastor soon grew tired of the worthless sword swinging and grabbed her.
She bit his neck and ran her fangs down his neck and around to his face. With her free hand she took a small dagger from her pocket and sliced it down his face. Blood soaked her shirt and his mouth. He tightened her grip and forced her to cough up the blood she hadn't yet swallowed. She bit into his hand kneeded his stomach, causing him to throw her down on the ground.
She rolled over to Zane, who looked at her weakly. "I'm so sorry," She whispered to him.
"Save it," He growled breathlessly. "You used me didn't you?"
"What?" She shreaked. "No I didn't."
"Just go," He grumbled. "You've hurt them all enough."
"But Zane-"
"Leave!" He hissed. Tears started filling in her eyes which lost their glow now. She looked over at Alastor.
She walked up to him and held her wrists out in front of her body. She swallowed hard, "Take me." He smiled at her surrender.
"Good choice vampire," He jeered. He took her and dissapeared into a puff of red smoke. Zane fell to the ground. He sunk his fangs into his bottom lip.
"Chao, can you lend a hand?" Jacob growled, digging his claws into the mutts blue eyes. Chao woke up from starring at Piper and Holli as the attacked the green eyed head. Tadrith had the red eyed one almost dead.
The blue eyes one managed to get Jacob in between his teeth. "God dammit Chao, get your head in the game!" Chao rushed up and grabbed the beast by its nostrils. "Try something else!" Chao then sunk his fangs into the mutts face, making it yelp Jacob out onto the ground. The red eyed head fell crashed to the ground along with the green eyed one. It wasn't too long until Jacob's blue eyed one fell with the rest and the three headed best was finally no more.
The group left the scene of the dead mutt and back to the feild where they left Zane and Amethyst. All they found was Zane laying on the ground.
"Where's Amethyst?" Piper asked, jumping on Tadrith's back.
"She's going back to live with her demon Fiance," Zane hissed coldly.
"What?" The group yelled in unison.
"She had a fiance?" Chao gasped. Zane nodded slowly. Jacob helped Zane off the ground and brushed off his shoulders.
"I'm so sorry man," Jacob sighed.
"Well what now?" Piper asked.
"Wait," Tadrith interrupted. "You had her leave with that demon dude? She's gonna die dude! Don't you know your own damn prophecy? She was supposed to leave him to come to you. You just let the enemy get away with your queen!"
Zane recited the prophecy quickly in his head and then smashed his fists into his stomach. "I'm such an idiot!"
"Yeah dude," Chao mumbled. Jacob jumped on his back forcing him face forward into the ground.
"Well you know what this mean," Holli joined in. "We got to go get her back."

Becoming One Of Them
Rebbeca Abstarden is the next Lady of Spring Grove Manor. Her cousion Jasper is the current master of the house. Rebbeca realises everything has changed since Lord Quinlot dies, and how-she wonders-shall she cope?
"Master Jasper." Miss.Colin's voice was stern. "Contain yourself!" Jasper was happily clapping and cheering. Rebbeca sank in her seat, holding her brown bunny teddy close to her. So Jasper was the new Master of the house. Now that her farther was dead, her cousion would take over. Rebbeca's mind drifted, once Miss.Colin, Miss.Francis and Mrs.Wendilene had passed, she would be the Lady Of The House. She smiled a foolish smile, and she would make Lord Wellington-her bunny teddy-the new pet of the house. Miss.Colin wiped her forehead with a hankerchief. Jasper settled in his chair. "Miss.Colin, is....it really true?" He asked sheepisly. Rebbeca's smile faded. He was playing with her. "I mean Rebbeca is Lady Marrione's and Lord Quinlot's daughter...i'm just there nephew.." He teased. Rebbeca's bottom lip wavered. Her red dress flowed beneath the table, and she held back tears. She was 15 now. Nothing was going to make her cry. Even if she still liked Animals and Teddys, she was brave. Miss.Colin reconigsed Jaspers joke. "That is not funny, my lord." She scolded. Jasper put his face into a pout. He grabbed two extra slices of Lemon cake. Stuffing them in his mouth, he pushed away his plate. "Nice meal. Tell the head chef I said good job." He praised. He glanced at Rebbeca with his steel blue eyes before leaving the room. Rebbeca wanted to pout to, but she was to polite for any such nonsense. Miss.Colin would be appauled. Beckys black hair fell in front of her face as she to left the room. Servants, Cleaners and Chefs were busily hurrying around the corridoor, attending to one Lord or Lady or the other. The butler, Sebastian, was letting Miss.Francis and her daughter Abigail into the mansion. Abigal had beautiful long, flowing, curly light blonde hair and always happy storm coloured eyes. She was four years older than Rebbeca, and Rebbeca had decided four times prettier. Miss.Francis gave her coat to Sebastian and primly headed up the stairs, Abigail following. Rebbeca sighed, it wouldn't be long until her tutour, Mr.Lean, came to teach her. She went upstairs to get dressed. She walked silently through the busy, long left wing corridoor. Her sister, Mari, was talking to her fionce, Sir Swade. Mari was five years older than Rebbeca, and had the same medium, straight black hair and blue eyes. Rebbeca passed Mari and Swade without a word. She entered her room and closed the door. Morning light filled the room, the baby pink curtains giving the room a pink tone. Her huge king sized bed was covered in teddys as usual. The piano at the far side of the room neeeded playing, Rebbeca decided. She opened the curtains and changed into her best dress. A red dress with pink bows and stitching at the chest. She wore her Cross necklace as always, and put on a matching hat. She dressed Lord Wellington in a matching pink jumpsuit and a red bow at his ear, and sat down at the piano seat. She placed Lord Wellington onto the bed and began playing. She played a tune she'd made up, and began singing aswell. "Trapped so high in such an awfull tower, i'm awaiting the dreadfull hour, i await a prince to take my hand, or a kind foster who's lovingly grand, i wish upon all there is, to see my most darling shine, to see my lovely valentine. But if i had a wish times two, theres something i wish to do, my mother died when i was young, my farther died for not holding his tounge, i wish to see them both again, so i can live in peace again. Peace again is my second wish. If i had the luck of a star, and had two wishes on a par, i'd know what i'd want right away, so thats all i want.....you belive me, Kay?" She sighed as she finished. Kay was her late Brother. He had been five years older than Mari the day he'd died. Just a month ago. Rebbeca stopped playing as her teachers car pulled into the front drive. She sighed and checked how she looked. She played her song to herself as she left.

Spatial capacity
Spatial capacity is an indicator of "data intensity" in a transmission medium. It is usually used in conjunction with wireless transport mechanisms. This is analogous to the way that lumens per square meter determine illumination intensity.[1]
Spatial capacity focuses not only on bit rates for data transfer but on bit rates available in confined spaces defined by short transmission ranges. It is measured in bits per second per square meter.
Among those leading research in spatial capacity are Jan Rabaey at the University of California, Berkeley. Some have suggested the term "spatial efficiency" as more descriptive. Marc Weiser, former chief technologist of Xerox PARC, was another contributor to the field who commented on the importance of spatial capacity.[2]
The System spectral efficiency is the spatial capacity divided by the bandwidth in hertz of the available frequency band.
Relative spatial capacities[edit]
Engineers at Intel and elsewhere have reported the relative spatial capacities of various wireless technologies as follows:
- IEEE 802.11b 1,000 (bit/s)/m²
- Bluetooth 30,000 (bit/s)/m²
- IEEE 802.11a 83,000 (bit/s)/m²
- Ultra-wideband 1,000,000 (bit/s)/m²
- IEEE 802.11g N/A

Texans 53-man roster projection
Here's what I believe the Texans 53-man roster will look like when final roster cuts are made official on September 3rd.
QB (2) - Osweiler, Savage WR (5) - Hopkins, Strong, Fuller, B. Miller, Mumphery RB (5) - L. Miller, A. Blue, J. Grimes, A. Hunt, T. Ervin FB (1) - Prosch OL (9) - Newton, Su'a-Filo, Mancz, Allen, Clark, Lamm, Aboushi, Bergstrom, Slade TE (3) - Fiedorowicz, Griffin, Anderson DL (6) - Watt, Wilfork, Covington, Reader, Dunn, Heath OLB (4) - Clowney, Mercilus, Simon, Scarlett ILB (4) - Cushing McKinney, Bullough, Peters CB (6) - Joseph, Jackson, Johnson, Bouye, James, Nelson S (5) - Demps, Hal, Pleasant, Moore, Dillon Specialists (3) - Lechler, Novak, Weeks PUP (1) - D. Brown Toughest decisions: 1. Keeping only two quarterbacks and letting Brandon Weeden go. In Bill O'Brien's two season in Houston, he has used eight different starting quarterbacks (Fitzpatrick, Mallett, Savage, Keenum, Hoyer, Yates, Weeden, Daniels), so carrying only two seems risky. But Weeden is not developmental, and while he is likely to find work elsewhere, if the Texans are forced to make their way down their quarterback depth chart for a third straight season, O'Brien and his staff have proven they can figure it out with whatever quarterbacks are available. 2. Devon Still Still has been working with the first unit much of the preseason, yet there he was in Thursday's preseason finale taking 20 snaps with the group of reserves. He looks the part of an NFL player in terms of size and athleticism, but it hasn't translated on the field in practice or in games for the Texans. They were impressed with Heath, an undrafted free agent signing from Michigan State. 3. Terrence Mitchell Mitchell has NFL experience with the Cowboys and Bears and was essentially in a fight with Nelson for the last several weeks for the final spot on the roster. Nelson just made a few more plays and could develop into a helpful player.

Blistering on Modern Boats
I have a 2006 Bavaria which, I believe, was fabricated with Vinyl Ester resin. From the Bavaria Website:
"A layer of isophtal acid resin in combination with a powder bound matt of glasfiber avoids the diffusion of water and obviates damage by osmosis."
I routinely keep the boat in the water year round (except for Spring short haul). An epoxy 'tie-coat' was applied to the yacht on delivery (mostly so the bottom paint would stick). Is osmotic blistering still an issue or did the chemists solve this problem years ago.
PS: Extra points if you're a chemist or engineer. :)
Vinylester resins reduce the possibility of osmosis, but AFAIK, they do not remove it altogether. Even an epoxy barrier coat, which is probably a bit more substantial than your tie coat won't necessarily prevent osmotic blistering.
what does afaik mean>
I believe it means As Far As I Know...
SollaSollew, how do you like your Bavaria? (if you still have it)
Don't expect an answer, seakingbubba. This thread is from 2008, and the OP has not posted since then.
I never have read of bistering being a problem on newer boats (like newer than 1985).
In walking the boat yard in the winter the only ones I see with any blistering issues are older boats. So whether they "fixed" it I don't know but it doesn't look to be an issue overall.

A few areas of Iowa are approaching 50 percent corn rootworm egg hatch now (Figure 1), including the Muscatine area. Many other regions will be reaching 700 degree days within 7-14 days, depending on future temperatures. Cooler spring temperatures in 2013 have slowed down development, especially compared to rootworm hatch last year.

BT's planned pounds 35bn merger with Cable & Wireless, whose jewel is its majority stake in Hongkong Telecom, has been greeted with near universal approval in the City. The fact that the Chinese take control of Hong Kong in 15 months has hardly registered.
Surprisingly little has been made of the political risk. Every telecoms watcher is bogged down in the arithmetic of the likely terms of the deal, or is speculating on which parts of the merged entity will have to be sold off to make the deal palatable to the Government and to the telecoms watchdog, Oftel.
There is an irony here. BT is desperate to expand the non-regulated side of its business. It is no fun operating in an environment in which you have to cut your prices by 7.5 per cent every year. Hence the emphasis on international growth. But by piling into Hong Kong, BT may find life every bit as regulated as it is back home.
Come July 1997 it will be a supremely restrained Chinese government that doesn't feel impelled to meddle in an industry as strategically important as telecommunications. And nothing in its recent record - from Tiananmen Square to the Taiwan Straits - suggests China is big on restraint.
Buying an asset in Hong Kong is not the same as buying it in America or Europe, and BT should be aware of that fact. C&W may be described as an Asian telecoms giant, but virtually all its operations and the vast bulk of its profits are concentrated in Hong Kong. It is absurd to suggest that this single deal would transform BT into the world's first truly global telecoms operator. At best it could prove a useful springboard into the fastest-growing economies in the world.
What it certainly would do is put a significant number of the enlarged BT's eggs in one basket. BT shareholders should be aware of the change. A deal could make BT a much more profitable organisation. It will certainly make it a much riskier and therefore more volatile investment.
From C&W's point of view, the advantages of a merger are more clear cut. It would resolve two ever more glaring problems. The first is the difficulty of coming up with a new strategy following the failure and confusion of its attempt to develop a "federation" of telecom alliances.
The second is the management vacuum created by the abrupt departures last year of its chairman and chief executive, Lord Young and James Ross respectively. There is little doubt that BT's two chiefs, Sir Iain Vallance and Sir Peter Bonfield, would take the helm of the enlarged group. There would be no need to find new bosses at C&W.
The regulatory hoops are difficult but not impossible. C&W's 80 per cent stake in Mercury Communications would certainly have to be sold off. But there are a number of prospective buyers. The US giant AT&T heads any bidders list, followed by GTE and several of the regional US operators. Deutsche Telekom from Germany and KPN from the Netherlands could also be interested. A combined BT/C&W would have to jettison some of its mobile phone assets. Germany, where both companies have operations, could be another headache. But none of these regulatory problems looks insurmountable.
The crunch will be to agree a price. The two sides have abandoned talks once before after failing to agree terms. The fact that their advisers are meeting again suggests that someone has given ground. The danger is that BT, whose share price has been weak recently, will be persuaded to give too much away.
This is a deal that C&W needs much more than BT. The terms should reflect that. BT should drive a very hard bargain, or walk away.
Uneasy peace at B&Q
IT WAS the sacking that never was. Everyone expected Jim Hodkinson, chief executive of B&Q, to be relieved of his tool-kit in the wake of last week's disappointing results. As far as I can ascertain, he has been at daggers drawn with Sir Geoff Mulcahy, head of the parent company Kingfisher, for months. Hodkinson was the only subsidiary head who failed to meet Mulcahy's tough performance criteria. B&Q profits have slumped. Underlying sales are flat.
Moreover, there has clearly been a difference of opinion on strategy. Hodkinson wanted to roll out aggressively the new warehouse format of B&Q stores - huge sites of 100,000 sq ft or more. This was despite a worsening in the overall DIY market and growing evidence that the warehouse stores were "cannibalising'' trade from B&Q's ordinary supercentre stores.
The two men seem to have patched up their differences at the last moment. The cautious Mulcahy has got his way: the roll-out of the warehouse format has been sharply scaled back.
I'm not convinced the peace will last. The relationship has never been perfect. In 1992, Hodkinson was pushed sideways, away from the core job of running B&Q. In 1994 he actually quit, only to return to the fold a few months later.
What is next, then, for B&Q? Spring has sprung and the next few weeks will be crucial for all DIY/gardening product businesses. The industry continues to suffer from overcapacity and margins are wafer thin.
One theory gaining currency is that Boots and WH Smith will bite the bullet on their disastrous Do It All chain, selling the few strong sites and closing down the rest. That would be good news for B&Q and for Sainsbury, which is busy absorbing the Texas chain - bought from Ladbroke - and is finding it harder than it anticipated.
It looks, however, like wishful thinking. True, WH Smith, under its new boss, Bill Cockburn, looks more than happy to take the inevitable pain. But Boots does not. It can afford to soldier on, comfortable in the knowledge that its cash cow, Boots The Chemist, can easily finance any losses at Do It All.
Its thinking is more likely to be: why throw in the towel now just as the housing market - the biggest influence on DIY purchases - looks as if it is perking up? DIY retailers should not be relying on Do It All to make life easier for them.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My dad can't sign a check to pay his rent to his apartment and settle his finances. He needs me to help him write checks to pay his bills.
A power of attorney is a relatively simple document that an attorney should be able to prepare for you quickly. I do not recommend using forms that you find on the internet or in office supply stores as they may not meet the needs of your particular situation. My office is located in Hampstead, NH and is available to assist you. 603-329-5200.
Note: This comment does not create an attorney client relationship. You do not have an attorney until you hire one and pay the requested fee.Ask a similar question
Now would also be a good time to dust off his will and confirm that is what he wants, before his state deteriorates any more.
I would take Ms. Sapeinza's advice....if your father has the capacity (mentally) to do so, he should execute a power of attorney (and also do his other estate planning). His inability to physically sign is not an obstacle to doing this as 1.)someone can sign for him at his direction, 2.) he can sign with a simple mark or x in most situations...but defer to the NH attorney for specific advice.
This is not legal advice nor intended to create an attorney-client relationship. The information provided here is informational in nature only. This attorney may not be licensed in the jurisdiction which you have a question about so the answer could be only general in nature. Visit Steve Zelinger's website: http://www.stevenzelinger.com/Ask a similar question
If your father has the requesite capacity he can sign a power of attorney. It doesn't have to be a pretty signature, n "X" will do if properly explained. As Attorney Sapienza suggests, do use a form you get online or at a office supply sore. Spend some a little money and have it done right by an experienced elder law attorney. Make sure the POA has an unrestricted gifting power.Ask a similar question

I recently found Task It which is a great app but unfortunately its not possibly to share it with other admins.

We want it to be in spiceworks, not in outlook or google apps or something like that.

Why do not use the ticket system itself? You can assign task for others, or add admins as CC if it's some kind of collaborative work.
Feb 18, 2012 at 7:25 UTC
Well we would like to separate our own ongoing tasks from the tickets our users creates, so they dont show up in the same queue
Feb 20, 2012 at 4:41 UTC
From what i tested the Task IT plugin, it can't share task with other admins, but it's a feature some people requested to the developer. You can ask Scott to see if this is a planned feature.
