I had juvederm injected 7 months ago. The surgeon at West palm Beach didn't do a good job since must of the stuff is not on my lips or my wrinkles and I look like I was on a fight with lumps on top of my mouth. He injected 2 syringes and it seems like it's taking forever to dissolve.
I would like to find an experienced doctor that removes it in the Raleigh/Durham area.

welcome from Texas,good you can add your range report to unos on the neos, it should be coming soon. you've been here since may? you don't talk much sbninja.
Hi all, I'm new here.
I have been thinking about getting a neos 6" w/ a holosight, for a while now. I was at the range/gun shop yesterday, and held one I want it!
I ordered a BSA holosight (inexpensive)from MidwayUsa last night. I will stop by the shop tomorrow and buy the neos 6" - can't wait!
For the holosight, I orginally wanted the Bushnell. But I figured I would try out a cheap holosight to see if I like the concept.
welcome from Texas,good you can add your range report to unos on the neos, it should be coming soon. you've been here since may? you don't talk much sbninja.
I picked one up on Friday and put 550rds through it this weekend. No failures at all. I put my red dot on it but was unable to sight it in due to the strong winds. I really like mine and so does my fiance.
we are looking forward to your report.and uno where are the pictures,not many details.you know what they say...TTIWWP
I recieved my BSA Holosight today in the mail. Wow this this is cool, I can't wait to pick up my gun tommorow
Hi all,
I went to the outdoor range today, and fire aprox 200 problem free rounds through my new Beretta U22 Neos 6". After I got the BSA Holosight sighted in, it shot well, I bought a box of remington hollow point from walmart - 550 rounds for $11 and change. I really like this gun.
The holosight worked awsome!
Here are some pics I shot off-hand at 12 yards.
Not one understands what I do. They think I make them myself. I put them to shame when they us their bulk rounds. Use bulk when you practice. It's lots of fun. Use these to play poker or darts
Nice sight for $30. I bought 2 mags from cdnn for $10 each but I'm not very happy with them. I put 650 rds through my neos with no feeding issue until I tried the cdnn mags What Gives?????
I bought myU22 NEOS 7.5 DLX for $149 at Gander a year ago on sale and now they want $355 for the same one. What does INOX mean? I put the cheap BSA on it which is fine. I do wish I had bought this other one that had red and green dot or triangle. My still get it. When this starts jamming on me it's because it's dirty and get dirty fast. I even have a can of gun blast with me that solves the problem each time. At first I did not like it compared to the Mark II because of the trigger. My son ajusted the trigger on it and what a difference. It's a great 22 and only comes in 2nd to the Mark II target I have.
The Inox is the stainless steel version....
There is a DLX (6" and 7.5") version of the NEOS and NEOS Inox....This version allows you to change the trigger pull.
I bought the NEOS 6". I had multiple failures; misfires and trigger reset.
1) Misfires: The striker indicator showed that it was ready to fire...Trigger was reset as it was taught to the feel. Pull the trigger and nothing, just "click".
2) Trigger reset: I would fire 1 round, and would cycle just fine by ejecting the spent casing and loading the next round in the chamber. The striker indicator showed it was ready to fire. HOWEVER, the trigger was NOT taught to the feel...I could tap it and it would go back and forth like it was limp...I would clear the chamber load the magazine again, pull the slide back to chamber a round and then it would fire.
I shot ~150 rounds today: Remington Subsonic, Eley Sport and I forget the brand but it was a HV round. All three types of loads had same issues as described above.
THIS IS A BRAND NEW PISTOL FROM THE STORE TO THE RANGE....Gun smith at range detailed stripped it and did a cleaning and lubed it up...Still same issues...
Any help would greatly be appreciated...

Nevada Amber Alert Vehicle May Be Headed to Sacramento
SACRAMENTO -- The Nevada Highway Patrol issued an Amber Alert for two children who may be headed to, or already in, the Sacramento area, police said Friday.
KRNV, in Reno, reports 9-year-old Lillyanna Ramires was taken, along with her 3-year-old brother, Martin Angel Rosales.
Their non-custodial parents are accused of kidnapping the children. They left from the Elko area.
They were last seen on Wednesday, with the suspects inside a dark blue, late '80s or early '90s Ford Mustang with either a temporary plate, or Nebraska license plates.
The suspects are 34-year-old Martin Cisneras Rosales, also known as Martin Cisneros, and 30-year-old Amber Schenck.
Police are concerned because the older Martin Rosales is said to have violent tendencies when dealing with officers. A restraining order was issued in July to keep him away from his son, KRNV said.
A court order was recently issued to terminate parental custody.

OH so if I add a BOV then it would consume more fuel, damn thats not a good idea, the gas prices are kinda high.
just kidding
yeah, that's BOV. its used to get attention and unwanted engine problems down the line. the kid inside me wants me to have one coz of the "pppssshhh". but i'd rather be more mature and logical about it.
besides, if i really want a cool noise, a loud exhaust should amplify the boxer sound. lol.
if i were you, i'd spend the money somewhere else... like a bottle of hennessy.
Damn im 17, so i guess id just save up the money for like an SPT exhaust
how do u know when ur BOV is adjusted right? i have a greddy one n i can adjust it to harder or softer.....
As for adjusting it...in my experience (I have a perrin Recirculating BOV) I just play around with it harder or softer and see which way the engine likes it best (keeping a close eye on my A/F ratio and how the car feels) and go from there.
But, if you have no experience with it I suggest taking it to a tuner or going back to the stock BPV.

You should get some EM before any serious mods such as Downpipe or Uppipe.
I live in Cooper City/Ft. Lauderdale.
Also, I noticed from your profile you have a Cold Air Intake/CAI. That is also bad with out tuning/EM as it will cause you to run lean. You are probably running way lean and that can and will hurt your engine. You either need to get tuned for the CAI and BOV or better yet put back on the stock airbox and BPV.
WRXs are not like a POS civic which you can just put on a CAI and run with it. Due to the compression and sensitivity of our turbo engines the A/F can really be thrown off by a VTA BOV and CAIs.

I would just like to get some opinions and some Info. about which of these two BOV's is the better one, what are each of there down falls, and perks as well.
First read this: Blow Off Valve FAQ: Read if you are thinking of buying one! - NASIOC
Then read this: BOV FAQ: The REAL dirt on BOVs. Ups AND downs. Lets dispell some myths. - NASIOC
Then you can probably answer that question for yourself.

Overkill, I know, but I also travel with a Stop-n-Go plug gun kit, too. Need to replace the uber-cheesy 12V air compressor, though. It was only somewhat useful for motorcycle tires, but was tiny once you stripped it of all the plastic.

The fall of Satan/Lucifer/ the Devil...
I copied the following quote from This Rock magazine. It is what I have always understood, but when I mentioned it to my JW friends they blithely dismissed it as non-biblical.
I fully understand that there are truths revealed by God (through the magisterium) which are non-biblical, but I got to wondering, where exactly does this idea come from, is it doctrine?
As for the particular sin the bad angels committed, many theologians believe that in their pre-fallen state the angels were given a foreknowledge of humans (who would be inferior to them), as well as a foreknowledge that God himself (the second Person of the Trinity) would be incarnated as a man and redeem the universe through his death on the cross.
This revelation angered Lucifer because it meant he and the other angels would have to worship God incarnate. Lucifer and the other angels who fell were so proud of being superior to men that their overweening arrogance wouldn't allow them to worship Jesus Christ the God-Man. This refusal--this
non serviam
--stemmed from pride. That, anyway, is the theologian's theory.

Re: The fall of Satan/Lucifer/ the Devil...
I too have heard this. . .but I am at a loss to say which "theologians" speculated on this. Does anyone know if Aquinas did?
Venerable Mary of Agreda (1602-1665), a mystic (not a theologian per se) writes about it in
Mystical City of God
Part I, Book 1, Chapter 3:
In the second place, the angels were informed that God was to create a human nature and reasoning creatures lower than themselves, in order that they too should love, fear and reverence God, as their Author and eternal Good. They were informed that these were to stand in high favor, and that the second Person of the blessed Trinity was to become incarnate and assume their nature, raising it to the hypostatic union and to divine Personality; that therefore they were to acknowledge Him as their Head, not only as God, but as God and man, adoring Him and reverencing Him as God-man. Moreover, these same angels were to be his inferiors in dignity and grace and were to be his servants. God gave them an intelligence of the propriety and equity, of the justice and reasonableness of such a position. For the acceptation of the merits foreseen of this Mangod was exhibited to them as the source of the grace which they now possessed and of the glory which they were to obtain. They understood also that they themselves had been, and all the rest of the creatures should be created for his glory, and that He was to be their Head. All those that were capable of knowing and enjoying God, were to be the people of the Son of God, to know and reverence Him as their Chief. These commands were at once given to the angels.
To this command all the obedient and holy angels submitted themselves and they gave their full assent and acknowledgment with an humble and loving subjection of the will. But Lucifer, full of envy and pride, resisted and induced his followers to resist likewise, as they in reality did, preferring to follow him and disobey the divine command. This wicked prince persuaded them, that he would be their chief and that he would set up a government independent and separate from Christ. So great was the blindness which envy and pride could cause in an angel, and so pernicious was the infection that the contagion of sin spread among innumerable other angels.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church has this to say:
Behind the disobedient choice of our first parents lurks a seductive voice, opposed to God, which makes them fall into death out of envy. Scripture and the Church's Tradition see in this being a fallen angel, called "Satan" or the "devil". The Church teaches that Satan was at first a good angel, made by God: "The devil and the other demons were indeed created naturally good by God, but they became evil by their own doing."
Scripture speaks of a sin of these angels.This "fall" consists in the free choice of these created spirits, who radically and irrevocably
God and his reign. We find a reflection of that rebellion in the tempter's words to our first parents: "You will be like God." The devil "has sinned from the beginning"; he is "a liar and the father of lies".
It is the
character of their choice, and not a defect in the infinite divine mercy, that makes the angels' sin unforgivable. "There is no repentance for the angels after their fall, just as there is no repentance for men after death."
Scripture witnesses to the disastrous influence of the one Jesus calls "a murderer from the beginning", who would even try to divert Jesus from the mission received from his Father. "The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil." In its consequences the gravest of these works was the mendacious seduction that led man to disobey God.
The power of Satan is, nonetheless, not infinite. He is only a creature, powerful from the fact that he is pure spirit, but still a creature. He cannot prevent the building up of God's reign. Although Satan may act in the world out of hatred for God and his kingdom in Christ Jesus, and although his action may cause grave injuries - of a spiritual nature and, indirectly, even of a physical nature- to each man and to society, the action is permitted by divine providence which with strength and gentleness guides human and cosmic history. It is a great mystery that providence should permit diabolical activity, but "we know that in everything God works for good with those who love him."
We know the fallen angels rejected God, but not exactly why. I don't think the speculation you mentioned could be considered doctrine, but rather a very good explanation.
Hope that helps a bit?

Re: The fall of Satan/Lucifer/ the Devil...
I have heard a theory that the thing revealed to them was that Mary would be higher than them in Heaven. Their pride then set them off. I dunno, just something I've heard. The Incarnation makes a little more sense.

Re: The fall of Satan/Lucifer/ the Devil...
Guess what? Venerable Mary Agreda goes on to say:
But also another mystery was concealed in all this: When it was revealed to the angels that they would have to obey the incarnate Word, another, a third precept was given them, namely, that they were to admit as a superior conjointly with Him, a Woman, in whose womb the Onlybegotten of the Father was to assume flesh and that this Woman was to be the Queen and Mistress of all the creatures. The good angels by obeying this command of the Lord, with still increasing and more alert humility, freely subjected themselves, praising the power and the mysteries of the Most High. Lucifer, however, and his confederates, rose to a higher pitch of pride and boastful insolence. In disorderly fury he aspired to be himself the head of all the human race and of the angelic orders, and if there was to be a hypostatic union, he demanded that it be consummated in him.
The decree constituting him inferior to the Mother of the Incarnate Word, our Mistress, he opposed with horrible blasphemies. Turning against the Author of these great wonders in unbridled indignation and calling upon the other angels, he exhorted them, saying: "Unjust are these commands and injury is done to my greatness; this human nature which Thou, Lord, lookest upon with so much love and which thou favorest so highly, I will persecute and destroy. To this end I will direct all my power and all my aspirations. And this Woman, Mother of the Word, I will hurl from the position in which Thou hast proposed to place Her, and at my hands, the plan, which Thou settest up, shall come to naught."
If anything I write is found to be at variance with the mind of the Church, please reject it as error. It is due either to my own inability to communicate or my lack of knowledge.

Re: The fall of Satan/Lucifer/ the Devil...
The Catholic Encyclopedia
in it's article about the Devil examines this question at length. Here is an excerpt:
Although nothing definite can be known as to the precise nature of the probation of the angels and the manner in which many of them fell, many theologians have conjectured, with some show of probability, that the mystery of the Divine Incarnation was revealed to them, that they saw that a nature lower than their own was to be hypostatically united to the Person of God the Son, and that all the hierarchy of heaven must bow in adoration before the majesty of the Incarnate Word; and this, it is supposed, was the occasion of the pride of Lucifer (cf. Suarez,
De Angelis
, lib. VII, xiii). As might be expected, the advocates of this view seek support in certain passages of Scripture, notably in the words of the Psalmist as they are cited in the Epistle to the Hebrews: "And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore Him" (Hebrews 1:6; Psalm 96:7). And if the twelfth chapter of the Apocalypse may be taken to refer, at least in a secondary sense, to the original fall of the angels, it may seem somewhat significant that it opens with the vision of the Woman and her Child. But this interpretation is by no means certain, for the text in Hebrews, i, may be referred to the second coming of Christ, and much the same may be said of the passage in the Apocalypse.

Thank you all for your help. It looks like it is not any sort of doctrine, but a likely surmise of theological minds much more advanced than mine...

Re: The fall of Satan/Lucifer/ the Devil...
I've heard that a partial meaning for Revelation 12 is the showing of God's plan, including Mary, to the angels in heaven. We then see the war in heaven occurring as a result of this vision and the reaction of lucifer and 1/3 of the other angels to it. While the vision is being shown to them, I don't think the angels realize that the Dragon is one of them. After the vision, Lucifer and the other angels react and then the identity of the dragon is revealed. So the vision actually includes the reaction of the angels to the vision in a symbolic manner.
The Vision Shown to the Angels in Heaven
1: And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2: she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery.
3: And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads.
4: His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth; 5: she brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, 6: and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
The Reaction to the Vision
7: Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8: but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9: And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

Arsenal take to the field at Allianz Arena on Wednesday attempting to overturn a 3-1 deficit in their last-16 tie against German giants Bayern Munich.
You can find out more about our opponents below.
Full name: FC Bayern München
Manager: Jupp Heynckes
Club colours: Red shirts, red shorts, red socks
Nickname(s): Die Bayern, FCB
Three facts about Bayern Munich:
- They have won the European Cup on four occasions
- Recently-retired Pope Benedict XVI supports the club
- Manager Jupp Heynckes won the 1974 World Cup with West Germany
Mario Mandzukic
Signed from VfL Wolfsburg last summer, Mandzukic has impressed many since joining Bayern, and has scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga since start of the season. The Croatian forward impressed at EURO 2012 and was named Croatian Footballer of the Year thanks in part to his exploits in Poland and Ukraine. Dangerous in front of goal, the 26-year-old was on target in Jupp Heynckes' side victory at the Emirates in February. Arsenal's defenders will have to work hard to ensure he is kept quiet on Wednesday evening.

hi there,
so here is the situation:
i got a pfx with cast shadow on, and i have a plane to receive shadow, i turned on the cast shadow of light, i turned off the cast shadow of the plane, and then i rendered the scene, but unfortunately the pfx didn't cast any shadow in the plane.
now i turned on the cast shadow of the plane and rendered the scene, and now the shadow of the pfx appeared.
why is it that i need to turn on the cast shadow of the object before maya render the shadow of the pfx, isn't that if you have receive shadow on in your object it will have the shadow of the shadow caster? why is this in pfx, is this a bug, or i am just missing a workaround here?
thanx a lot

Get to Mango #4: Adding Secondary Tiles
Live tiles are one of the most compelling features of Windows Phone. Now in Windows Phone 7.5, we have support for 'secondary' live tiles.
This means that your application can enable the user to configure more than one live tile for your application. This is extremely cool, because now users can create a specific tile for any of the different types of operations or different types of content which your application manages.
Please let us know if you have any questions!

Options for MBAs Without Jobs
In about a month, I'll have an MBA—but no job. I'm at a respected school, my GPA is 3.5, I've got two years of retail consulting experience and great references, and I've been doing all the right things to get hired. Please help.—Anonymous, Chicago
What a terrible bind you're in—you and thousands upon thousands of others. Word is that at some business schools upwards of 30% of this year's grads, even in top-tier programs, have yet to land positions. Recruiters just aren't coming to campuses like they used to, and if they are, it's for "informational" purposes only. Word also is that many companies, hit by worsening results and alarmed by dire forecasts, have delayed start dates for their MBA hires or rescinded their offers altogether. It's not a jungle out there, it's a wake.
But you didn't ask for sympathy. You asked for advice.
And so allow us to pass along the exact three recommendations we offered a twentysomething MBA friend we met up with this week, who is, like you, still empty-handed and beginning to feel desperate.
Three-Forked Road
You can settle and learn to love it. You can go a little crazy. Or you can do your own thing.
Settling first, because it's the fastest and easiest.
Look, you already know you're probably not going to get the kind of job—in terms of industry, title, and salary—you were dreaming of the day you started your MBA, back when trees grew to the sky. But there is, very probably, a job out there, here or abroad, that offers you a reasonable amount of relevant experience and a livable salary.
You could accept that job. And more important, even with its disappointment factor, you could embrace it, working ardently to innovate processes, improve your team, and make yourself indispensible by constantly overdelivering. In your case, you might work at a retail store of some sort, with the goal of having your stellar performance eventually land you in management and get you noticed at headquarters. Sure, the day-to-day work of ringing up sales might seem like a pitiable return on your MBA investment at first. But think career strategy. Being a star performer at virtually any solid organization is a ticket up or onto a better opportunity elsewhere. In time, your humility—and results—will likely be rewarded.
The Long-Shot Strategy
Now for going a little crazy, which is the approach we prefer in the current circumstances but still recommend with trepidation. Because not everyone can pull off a highly targeted beg-and-plead campaign while remaining likable, and that's basically the program we're suggesting. With this option, you pick the one or two places you've always wanted to work (or the two executives you'd give a kidney to work for) and repeatedly make your case to them in the most creative, appealing, and persuasive way you can—with letters, e-mails, phone calls—just to get a five-minute interview. Which you then have to nail with your brilliant insights and positive energy.
Yes, this is a long-shot strategy. But when it works—and here's why we like it—you'll be starting your career in the right place. And you'll have experienced the kind of hunger it takes to get ahead.
Finally, if settling and a little craziness don't work for you, there's starting your own business. Figure out what you know and what you're good at, find a friend who brings something to the table—like brains, contacts, seed capital, or very little need for sleep—and then, like entrepreneurs the world over, get out there and hustle. If consulting becomes your gig, for instance, take jobs for $5,000 or $10,000, or negotiate with clients for a percentage of the increased revenues you bring in or the savings you create. You know the drill, and you probably know the risks, too. The current climate makes becoming an entrepreneur an extraordinary act of courage, and only you know if you have the mettle.
Self-Awareness Is Crucial Now
Not to sound harsh; we're just trying to be realistic. These are unprecedented times for MBAs, as they are for any job seeker, requiring unusual levels of self-awareness. The global economic crisis will likely last another year or two, and there's no point in waiting and hoping for a miracle.
You really just have three options. Make a choice and press on.

The apartment features three bedrooms - two to rent which are furnished to suit your needs - a finely equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room and a bathroom. You'll be in a quiet area, with public transport links nearby that can connect the student throughout the city. The nearest educational sites are the Àrea de Formació Complementària - Universitat de Barcelonaand the Campus de l'Alimentació de Torribera - Universitat de Barcelona. Embrace this opportunity and come to study in this great city!
Find out more about this property's common areas in our photo gallery.
You will be sharing this property with the landlord.
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have not verified this property yet. We are working on having it fully verified as soon as possible.
Getting Around
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

I have some of the most marvelous photos of my grandchildren. I think I'll be scrapping forever! For me it is like reliving memories of the most beautiful grandchildren. Creating a layout is like dancing lightly on air.
Here is a photo of Little with her friend at an Easter Egg hunt. When these too get together the cuteness meter can't hold it all.
Let's Break It Down
Graphic 45's Secret Garden. One of my favorite books and with the most incredible artist/designer. This is a layout loosely based on a sketch by Graphic 45. You can sign up for their emails and I generally get a layout project sheet and card project sheet every month. I've received tutorials as well. I love it. Right in my inbox.
Hand cutting is one of the most relaxing activities for me. The lower left corner is all hand cut, even to the tiniest flower.
The crochet border was made by my mom. Every few years she makes up some fun crochet pieces for me to use. Hey, Mom...it's that time again.
Patter Cross from Triple the Scraps sent me a goody package with Blue Fern Studio chipboard. The butterflies and lilies are perfect for this layout. They butterflies are cut in such a way you can take some pieces out or leave them in to create a unique butterfly.
The key is from my one of my favorite artists and product designer, Tim Holtz.
I hope you "dance" while you create!
Have a Crafty Day!

The term "scarred for life" has a far different meaning to Beck Wheeler than the colloquial expression it is typically used for.
It has a literal meaning to him that sucked away a lot of his promise the same day he was sucked under a boat. And, all he wanted to do was cool off.
Out in an ocean bay near his home in San Diego not long after graduating from St. Augustine High School, Wheeler was with a group of friends doing what most recent grads do – goofing off, having fun, enjoying life and living in the moment.
Wheeler jumped in to the bay for one final dip in the Pacific as the sun started to go down. With the music on the boat louder than his shouts, no one heard Wheeler scream when the boat's driver fired up the engines. No one had thought to look when Wheeler couldn't pull down the boat's ladder.
The boat flew into reverse and Wheeler was sucked under, his right leg first hitting the propeller and then his left.

The Brisbane scoreboard that showed England's second-innings total will become an iconic cricket photograph. Who would have guessed the tourists would be responsible for another historic image only four days later?
At the Gabba on Monday, England were 517 for one. At the Adelaide Oval on Friday, Australia were two for three after 13 deliveries. Remarkable cricket, and though the Second Test and the Ashes series are still in their infancy, Andrew Strauss' team are growing up fast.
Jimmy Anderson was outstanding throughout, removing Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke after Simon Katich had been dismissed for a diamond duck to produce that extraordinary scorecard. He took two for 18 in his first seven-over spell, and sent back Shane Watson in his first over. With the second new ball, he accounted for Peter Siddle to finish with four for 51 from 19 overs.
Stuart Broad did not shine as brightly but lent competent support, and although Steve Finn struggled, Graeme Swann finally came to the party with two wickets in two deliveries just when Gabba heroes Mike Hussey and Brad Haddin were threatening to turn the match back in Australia's favour.
Hussey was finally dismissed by Swann for 93 and although Haddin made an entertaining 56, Australia could not recover from the worst start to a Test first innings in their history and were bowled out for 245. England survived a single over from Ryan Harris to close a productive day one without loss.
In front of 38,615, the highest Adelaide Oval crowd since the 1932/33 Bodyline series, Australia brought in Ryan Harris and Doug Bollinger for Ben Hilfenhaus and Mitchell Johnson, while England were unchanged.
Ponting won what looked a crucial toss, but Australia got themselves into mess with the match only four balls old. Katich was late setting off for a single was well short of his ground when Jonathan Trott scored a direct hit from midwicket.
Katich did not look back at his partner Watson as he walked off having been run out without facing a ball, and then matters became much worse.
Ponting has always been vulnerable early in his innings to the full ball and Anderson found the perfect delivery, a subtle outswinger that drew the captain forward, took the edge and was clutched by Swann, falling to his left at second slip. After only five balls of the match, Australia had lost two wickets without scoring a run.
Before this match, Clarke had claimed that his dodgy back was not affecting his batting. If that is the case, the Aussie vice-captain is simply in filthy form. He had already played and missed at Broad when Anderson produced a repeat of the ball that did for Ponting. Clarke pushed at it with hard hands and gave Swann an easy catch.
Incredibly, Australia were two for three, and they could easily have lost a fourth wicket when the Kookaburra ball was still shiny and menacing. Watson survived a TV referral for an lbw decision when he had only seven. Anderson put down a tough one-handed caught-and-bowled chance to dismiss Hussey, who then came close to chopping on to his stumps before he edged Anderson just in front of Swann.
On such a good batting track, though, it was inevitable that Australia would regain some control. As he had in Brisbane, Finn allowed himself to be driven too easily by Watson, who also smashed Swann over deep midwicket for six. Hussey was not quite as attacking as his partner in the morning session, but he was also able to take advantage of Finn's faulty radar.
With Watson reaching his fifty just before lunch, Australia were 94 for three at the interval and in a position to push on, only for Anderson to claim his third wicket in the second over after the break. Watson's miscued drive was caught in the gully by Kevin Pietersen and the opener was on his way for 51.
As the under-pressure Marcus North joined Hussey in the middle, the fireworks of the morning gave way to a slow burner of an afternoon session. England reinforced the off-side field to try to reduce Hussey's scoring areas, but with the left-hander in such immaculate touch - he scored 195 in the first-innings at the Gabba - it proved a very difficult task.
Hussey ploughed on remorselessly and, for a while, it appeared as though North would be the solid partner he needed. North made sensible progress but then took leave of his senses, gifting Finn his first wicket with a half-hearted wave outside the off stump that was edged through to wicketkeeper Matt Prior.
England sensed an opening, but as they had at the Gabba, Haddin and Hussey were able to repel them and build a 51-run sixth-wicket stand until, with Hussey seven runs short of his third Ashes hundred in as many innings, Swann struck.
Hussey dominated Swann at the Gabba and had done so here, too, but this was the classic off-spinner's delivery to the left-hander. It pitched and turned away from Hussey, who was tempted to play far from his body and steered the ball to Paul Collingwood at slip.
One ball later, Harris was on his way back to the pavilion and Swann had his second wicket in as many deliveries - and this time England had the rub of the green with the decision review system after it had worked against them in Brisbane. Convinced he had edged the ball into his pad, Harris asked for a TV replay after being given out lbw, but no snick was evident and umpire Marais Erasmus' decision was upheld.
For Swann, it was the perfect antidote after he had been struck on the big toe by Haddin's powerful drive shortly after tea, but his pain was nothing compared to what Australia felt when Xavier Doherty was run out at the striker's end after an awful mix-up with Haddin.
Once a team with such a confident stride, Australia are beginning to stumble, and England must ensure Ponting's team are not allowed to regain their footing over the weekend.

With another year's edition having come and gone, the 2012 BET Awards were held in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday night (July 1).
Adding some excitement to this year's 2012 BET Awards on Sunday (July 1), Usher was one of many performers who took the stage for a little crowd-pleasing entertainment.
The R&B sensation danced about the Shrine auditorium platform as he treated the crowd of peers and fans to his hit single "Climax".
Always a fan favorite, Usher was spotted at the 2012 BET Awards in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday evening (July 1).
The "There Goes My Baby" singer was busy roaming around the backstage area of the Shrine Auditorium ahead of the onset of the annual showcase.
Ready for a big night in the entertainment world, the 2012 BET Awards are all set to take place in Los Angeles, CA tonight (July 1).
A little over a week after his new album "Looking For Myself" dropped, Usher sat down for a candid interview with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts while opening up about his new album, his public custody battle and his non-profit organization.
Onstage, the "Scream" singer is successful as ever - especially after his new album landed him number one yet again on Billboard charts - however, offstage Usher is facing a very emotional and public custody battle with his ex-wife Tameka Foster.
He's no stranger to number one hits, sold out tours as well as topping the charts and this week Usher has done it again!
After the release of his seventh studio album "Looking 4 Myself" the 33-year-old has once again grabbed the number one spot on the Billboard 200 Chart with an impressive 128,000 copies sold.
Celebrating fatherhood and paternal bonds, dads around the world are being toasted on the Father's Day holiday (June 17) for all that they do as family patriarchs.
He's always put out fabulous videos to bring a visual element to his songs, and Usher's latest clip for "Scream" is no exception.
The "You Remind Me" singer shows off his superb dance moves, along with scenes from the Fuerza Bruta off-broadway show.

In a game wildly important to their tournament hopes, Notre Dame would only need the lead once to clinch a win — and it came with 6.5 seconds left. The Irish topped Maryland, 6-5, on Friday and advanced to meet Syracuse in the ACC championship.
After a wonderfully executed trail check on a hobbled Mike Chanenchuk by Jack Near, the standout shortstick found a streaking Matt Kavanagh, who deposited it into the top left corner of the cage to send the Notre Dame sideline into a frenzy.
"When Jack Near's in the open field, no one's gonna catch him," Kavanagh said. "I was close to the midfield line, sprinted to an open spot and was lucky enough to get an open pass from Jack and my guy slid so I was open on the back side."
Trailing 4-1 early in the third quarter, Kevin Corrigan's squad raised their intensity and level of play significantly, making stops on the defensive end and turning key saves from Conor Kelly into well executed transition looks. The Irish weathered through Maryland's conservative and deliberate approach with the ball, frustrating the Terps' shooters into turnovers amidst sloppy conditions.
"I'm just really proud at how hard we played," Corrigan said postgame. "It wasn't always that artfully - we turned it over a lot more than you'd like to - but we just really did a great job…. We raised the intensity level in the second half when we had our backs to the wall a little bit."
Corrigan expressed that while he didn't think the Irish would be on the outside looking in if they lost Friday night's game, they would've needed a bit of help from their peers. Coming in, the Domers had dropped three of their five previous games.
For much of the night, it seemed like Maryland had the upper hand, as the Terps' suffocating defense locked down on the Irish with defenseman Goran Murray holding Kavanagh in check and senior Niko Amato continuing to play like a first teamer between the pipes. However, Maryland's offense faltered down the stretch and tried to do to much with less than eight minutes remaining and the game on the line.
"They made one more play at the end and played very hard with emotion," head coach John Tillman said in what would be their final ACC press conference. "You have to score more than five goals when you have 37 shots, but [that's a] credit to their goalie and we have to work on shooting and playing smarter from beginning to end."
Having played each other six days earlier, each team had a good beat on their opponent's personnel and schemes, so the game was a lot more straightforward and just a matter of correcting mistakes from the previous outing. There was no question, however, that the Irish needed the win more more than the Terps.
It was an inspiring effort in cage for Philly native Conor Kelly, who made 12 stops, including eight in the second half and many of the spectacular variety. The junior won the job outright in the preseason, turned it over to freshman Shane Doss for much of the year but kept chugging and recently won it back. Corrigan gushed about Kelly's performance after the game, crediting his work ethic, persistence and team first attitude.
"What he had to do, there's nothing more disappointing than what happened to him yet if you were at our practice everyday, you wouldn't have seen anything different," Corrigan explained. "He did what a good teammate and a good young man does, he worried about getting himself better and preparing himself everyday."
On Sunday, the Irish will have their hands full against another team who willed their way through a hard fought semifinal and seems to be playing with a ton of heart and intensity. Both 'Cuse and Notre Dame have all but locked down a tournament berth, but the two programs new to the ACC certainly wouldn't mind raising a trophy and picking up the sigh of relief that comes with an automatic qualifier.
"Both games coming down to the final seconds — that's what ACC lacrosse is all about."

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Before your visit to the Mitochondrial Program at Boston Children's Hospital, we will ask you to send medical records from any previous evaluations your child may have had at other facilities.
You will also receive a questionnaire to help us better understand your concerns and your child's medical history. Please fill it out! Mitochondrial disorders are complex and can cause a wide array of symptoms, so your input will help guide the diagnostic process, treatment plan and referrals to various specialists at the hospital.
Often we suggest that your child, and possibly family members, undergo genetic testing. Unfortunately, extensive genetic testing is not always covered by insurance, but if your child's situation calls for it, we will work with your insurance companies to help with the process of approval.
We will coordinate your child's ongoing care with specialists, such as cardiologists, endocrinologists or gastroenterologists, to manage specific symptoms. If at any time your child has to be admitted to Boston Children's, our team will follow her while in the hospital.
You can find general information about coming to Boston Children's—directions, parking information, family support services, local amenities and more—on our general Patient Resources pages.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

When Denny Brauer left Nebraska in the early 1980s to pursue a career on the professional Bassmaster Tournament Trail, he settled on the shores of newly opened Truman Reservoir in Missouri and opened a guiding business. He was in heavy demand, too.
While just about every inch of Truman's miles of standing timber looks like it should hold a bass or three, there are subtle keys to finding where they live. "It's a heavily timbered body of water," he explains. "It can be very confusing for an angler to run all around in that timber trying to figure out where the fish are, especially at certain times of the year when they want to suspend in the upper water column."
One thing he quickly learned is that the fish tended to gravitate to any cover that distinguished itself from the predominant hiding places. Typically, among the standing trees, that meant horizontal logs. "Any time you've got a floating tree in a bunch of standing timber, it becomes an automatic focus for those fish," he says. "It offers more shade and something different than everything else around it. They're just going to gravitate to it."
He says that this phenomenon is not necessarily limited to ultrashallow water, where the logs rest along the bottom of the lake. "It can be out there in 30 feet of water. It can be a fallen tree wedged in the timber, and those fish are going to be up in there, suspended all around it."
Depending on the water temperature, clarity and depth, he'll try any one of several different lures, but he's rarely without his trademark jig. "If that horizontal cover is relatively shallow, I'm probably going to make multiple pitches or flips to it and let it go to the bottom, hoping to hit the fish on the head and get the reflex strike," he says.
"But if it's deeper than 3 feet I'm going to be swimming my bait. I'll throw a Strike King Series 4 square-bill (crankbait) that will get to the proper depth beneath it but not get too deep. I'll also swim a jig or work a topwater parallel to it. I want to fish the whole log and the whole strike zone rather than just a 6-inch portion of it at a time.
If the fish are suspended, why spend all of your time on the bottom?" Once he figures out the general depth the fish are using and the type of cover that they favor, it is pattern fishing at its best. "The perfect scenario is to refine it to the point where you do not have to fish everything," he says.
"If you get two or three bites and they all come off a horizontal log, why fish all of that vertical stuff? You kick it on high and find the next piece of cover like that, and your percentages will go up immensely because of that."
While the phenomenon of "different equals better" is often true in standing timber, that's not the only place where it can come into play. "It can be the exact opposite in boat dock fishing," Brauer explains. "You can have docks that do not have anything but flotation underneath them and then you'll come across a dock that has a pole structure anchored to the bottom. It's the vertical cover that becomes important," says Brauer.
"It's almost a case of opposites attract," he concludes. "Whatever the majority of your cover is, something different in that cover is going to be the key. So when you get a floating log in the midst of a bunch of floating timber, you better fish it."

A head of English gets to the heart of the curriculum debate and shares his X Factor-based teaching resource on using solo taxonomy...
Because if you believe in what Ian Gilbert calls The Great Educational Lie (do well at school and you'll get a good job) then passing exams is fine. But if you believe that "to succeed in business you need to break the rules" then we have a responsibility to teach content in a way that also teaches skills, dispositions and competencies needed to make our children indispensible in an uncertain future.
Some have asked me "why teach students in a digital environment if it's more work for you?" Digital skills that the social media classroom seek to provide our students are going to become increasingly important in the workforce of tomorrow. We don't just teach content, we teach students; they will forget most lessons but if they have the tools to find the answers for themselves, our work will be done.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Sacramento State defeated Weber State 19-14 late Saturday night at Hornet Stadium, dropping Weber State to 0-7 on the season and 0-4 in Big Sky play.
After an uneventful first quarter the Wildcats got on the board first with 14-play 71-yard drive capped by a one-yard touchdown run by C.J. Tuckett to give the 'Cats a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter. The Hornets closed the half with a 13-yard touchdown pass and the score was tied 7-7 at the break, the first time WSU has not trailed at halftime this season.
In the third quarter the Hornets picked up a safety after WSU's snap went over the head of kicker Tyler McNannay and out of the endzone. On the kickoff the Hornets returned the ball 66-yards down to the 12-yard line and four plays later converted on a 22-yard field goal to take a 12-7 lead.
Sacramento State scored on a 25-yard pass play from Garrett Safron to TJ Knowles to give the Hornets a 19-7 lead with 7:12 to play.
Trailing by 12 Weber State converted on a fourth and three with a 17-yard pass from Mike Hoke to Erik Walker to cut the Hornet lead to 19-14 with 3:59 to play. The Wildcats were unable to stop the Hornets from reaching a first down and Sacramento State ran out the clock for the win.
"We played with a lot of energy tonight and were very consistent as a team," said WSU head coach Jody Sears. "We had a couple of breakdowns but there were a lot of positive things we can grow from. We have to take care of some silly mistakes but I was pleased with our effort. Sacramento State made a couple of plays in the passing game that ended up being the difference."
Sacramento State finished with 310 yards of total offense, compared to 237 by the Wildcats. Weber State committed six penalties on the night.
Defensively Weber State played one of its finest games of the season. The Wildcats had seven tackles for loss, including two sacks by senior defensive end Trevor Pletcher. Weber State also forced three fumbles and recovered two fumbles. Junior Anthony Morales finished with 10 tackles, two tackles for loss and one forced fumble.
"Our defense came out with a lot of energy and attitude and it showed up on the field," said WSU defensive end Connor Meyers. "We made a lot of progress on defense this game and have to keep building on it. We have to keep grinding every day."
Offensively Hoke finished the day 19-35 for 135 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception. However, Hoke was sacked five times by the Hornets. C.J. Tuckett led the rushing attack with 20 carries for 64 yards and one touchdown.
Sacramento State improved to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in conference play. The Hornets have now defeated the Wildcats in six of the last seven games played at Hornet Stadium. Weber State has begun the season 0-7 for just the second time in school history.
Weber State will be back on the road next week when the 'Cats play at in-state rival and new Big Sky Conference member Southern Utah next Saturday. The Thunderbirds are 3-4 on the season and 2-2 in Big Sky play after a 30-20 win at Montana Saturday.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
When "Oh Captain My Captain" Jason Varitek retired from professional baseball and the Boston Red Sox during spring training, I felt a sense of relief followed by a twinge of nostalgia. While I would no longer have to reintroduce my fist to my face with every Tek tapper to the second baseman, the reins were left in the hands of Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Kelly Shoppach.
Discounting the 2010 season that saw him play all of 12 major league games, Saltalamacchia couldn't break .300 with his on-base percentage in his last two seasons. Meanwhile, Shoppach spent the past two years trying and failing to coax his batting average over .200. And that's without mentioning what Josh Beckett would resort to drinking and eating without his personal catcher on hand.
This made it all the more unexpected when a catching controversy erupted – not because fans were clamoring for the resuscitation of Varitek, but because both catchers were playing like the second coming of Carlton Fisk (a washed out, Tupac-esque hologram version, if you will). Who would have guessed Shoppach would be going to manager Bobby Valentine this season with a legitimate gripe about not getting enough playing time, only to be scoffed at because Salty was tearing the cover off the ball?
Certainly not me.
When Shoppach originally stormed into the manager's office near the end of May looking to strap on his catcher's equipment a little more often, it seemed a rather ill-advised trip. Laughable, even. (At least, I laughed.) At the time, Shoppach was hitting a respectable .259/.355/.444 in part-time duty as the Red Sox back-up behind the plate. Unfortunately, Saltalamacchia was in the midst of a line drive binge and long ball barrage for the month of May, hitting a rather astounding .308/.345/.628. (In case you were wondering, yes, that's particularly astounding for a guy who the Red Sox acquired two years ago for a sack of pennies and a cup of clam chowd-ah because he couldn't even throw the ball back to the pitcher's mound.)
After a couple weeks in June, however, Shoppach's call for playing time looks almost prophetic. While he has boosted his average up to .280 with a .905 OPS, Saltalamacchia has dive-bombed back to the reality of his .253 batting average, including an ongoing 1-for-18 stretch that has seen him strikeout eight (!) times (with a golden sombrero for good measure). Naturally, Salty has started eight games to Shoppach's four in the month of June.
Having said that, I still don't think it makes sense for Shoppach to take over the bulk of the starts behind home plate (apparently, numbers do lie – don't the ESPN number bias brainwash you). To begin with, his name is Kelly, and not in the way that J.D. Drew's name was Nancy. It's literally, actually, seriously Kelly. Second, he's had all of 75 at-bats to get all of 21 hits. Cue any number of statheads screaming, "SMALL SAMPLE SIZE!!!" in panicked unison while frantically adjusting their glasses. Third, he's a 32-year-old career back-up with a lifetime .227 average.
Meanwhile, Saltalamacchia is only 27 with the potential to continue developing into a better-than-solid starting catcher, glimpses of which we've seen already this season. Second, shslump happens. And lastly, he has a great name (one of the longest last names in MLB history) and a better nickname (Salty >>> Kelly).
Yes, Shoppach has been solid all season, with a spoonful of pop to go with a sprinkle of patience. I certainly don't object to him letting Ryan Lavarnway get a little more seasoning down in AAA (and yes, apparently I'm hungry), nor do I find the possibility of leveraging roughly 100 quality at-bats of half-decent Kelly Shoppach into 15 quality starts from a half-decent starting pitcher (Joe Blanton? Bartolo Colon?). But let's not get crazy here.
If we're going down that road, might as well get on the phone to bring Varitek out of retirement and put the "C" back in controversy.

Coarse sand or limestone dust for laying travertine patio pavers?
I saw a post last week here about using play sand for setting pavers for a patio and got me thinking about my own project.
I will be laying travertine pavers that range in size from 8x8 to 18x24.
I am using tons of 2A modified (3/4 and limestone dust) for the base.
For the final screed and lay, what is better coarse sand or limestone dust? They will butt up against each other so there will be near zero gap. The final screed will be max of 3/4 of an inch.
The best sand by far is polymeric jointing sand. It is 3-4 times more expensive than regular jointing sand, but well worth it. It contains a polymer that binds together when wet. After you brush it between the pavers, soak it with water for the sand to set.
Best sand to prevent weed growth between pavers, nothing else compares. If you use anything else, you will get weeds between the cracks unless you are living in the desert.
Sorry I should have mentioned I was using polymeric for the joints. I am more referring to what you use as the leveling base for the pavers limestone dust or coarse sand? I didn't know if one compacted better or held water or drained better or was easier to use and screed, etc.
Sand is much better as a levelling base, as limestone screening has large enough stones to make levelling a hassle. A 1/2 inch max. depth of sand on top of a compacted base (aggregate, concrete, HPB or other) should be used.

I can't wait to share this one with you! I wish I could be there to see the smile on your face the first time you try it! You just gotta check out these fantastic Graphics Tablets!
Oh, WOW!! Once you discover how these work, you'll want one for sure!
First off, if you're not familiar with a graphics tablet, it's something that anyone doing any kind of photo editing or graphics work will absolutely LOVE!
Basically, it allows you to use a "pen" to "draw" on your screen!
See, this cool little tablet sits next to your keyboard like a mousepad, then you grab the included pen, and as you "draw" on the tablet, the mouse follows along on the monitor! The pen becomes the mouse for your graphics program (see video)!
(Psst - Don't worry, it doesn't replace your mouse, just supplements it).
I mean, let's face it - drawing with a mouse is about as natural as driving with your teeth!! Grab a pen though - now THAT feels RIGHT - and THAT'S what this tablet does! It makes working on photos and graphics SOOOOO much easier than that old mouse of yours!
PLUS, this works with EVERY program out there since the pen is the "mouse"! If you're program can use a mouse, then this will work!
Once upon a time, in the bad old days, everyone used a mouse in Photoshop (and other photo editing programs) to make selections, use brushes, erase - pretty much everything. If you've ever used a mouse to make a tricky selection, you know how incredibly frustrating that can be!
Well, this tablet comes to the rescue! Instead of trying to trace, brush, select, etc with your mouse, this allows you to "draw" or "paint" with a pen! If that sounds like a great idea, just wait till you try it!
Easier to show you than tell ya, so I made a video demonstration!
Here I am, in photographic bliss using my graphics tablet! Just click the image below to view the video at the product page!!!
What a surprise - tracing and brushing with a pen is easier than a mouse!! Honestly, once you try it, you'll never go back to editing photos using a mouse!! The difference is night and day!
You can even lift up the transparent drawing grid, slide your favorite photo or picture underneath it and trace over your picture! Before you know it - your favorite picture will soon become an incredible digital drawing!! Just try to do that with your mouse!
PLUS - this is a pressure sensitive pad! If your program supports it (Photoshop does - and many others), then you'll really love this! You can generally set the pen to apply "more" as you press harder! So, let's say you're brushing in an area in Photoshop - You can set this so the harder you press, the more "effect" you put down! For example, if you're painting with black, a light touch would only put down a light grey, harder would be a middle grey, and full pressure would be black.
Of course, it's great for other graphics work as well. If you're a digital artist, this will feel like the most wonderful invention you've ever used! When you're drawing on screen with this, it even feels like you're using a real brush or pencil!
Here are some of the features:
- 4 x 3 Drawing Surface ~ great size for portability and it doesn't take up half your desk!
- Stylus pen that features the same functions as a mouse (stylus pen holder included).
- USB interface ~ USB cable is connected to the tablet.
- Soft-tip pen with 1024 levels of pressure for drawing programs such as Painter and Photoshop.
- Capturing signatures and drawing for inserting into documents.
- Pen commands for control and editing functions.
What about setup? Easy! Just plug it into your USB port! A lot of people worry that they have to use this instead of a mouse, and don't worry - that's not the case at all. You can use your mouse and tablet side by side!Use the tablet when you're doing photo editing or graphics, switch to the mouse for the regular stuff! That's what I do!
Here's the thing - we all do at least a little photo editing anymore - it's the way digital photography works! This makes it sooo much more enjoyable - and sooo much easier!When I first stared using these tables, I was blown away at how simple it was to make a tight selections and tricky brush strokes compared to my mouse - and I never looked back!
Your cost? Well, you can easily spend $300- $500 for a graphics tablet - but not today! We got an amazing deal on this - right now it's on sale for just $42.97 and US shipping is FREE! WOW!!! For that kind of money, you've just gotta try it! You'll be glad you did, that's for sure!
PS - Once you try this, you'll never go back to using a mouse with your graphics or photo program - it's that good! Give it a try, you'll be amazed too!
Product Description
Paint, draw, write, sign, and sketch all your documents and applications!
This Drawing Tablet comes equipped with a pressure sensitive stylus pen giving you the right tools for any task! The tablet features a 4 x 3-inch working area with a pen holder and indicator and a built-in USB cable.

Evening all,
Just a quick share today, another card that I was asked to make for my Uncle's birthday last week. He is a fan of football so that was the theme for this card. I used my "Flippin Football" stamp and distressed him with crackle glaze.
The papers are old and I'm not sure of the names.
The footballer was coloured with my promarkers and attached to both the front and inside of the card with foam pads to add a little depth.
Sorry it's a short post, hope to be back tomorrow.
Thanks For looking :).

Nerja is the most precious jewel on the Spanish coast!
There are many reasons why to choose Nerja
- Nerja is situated on the far east side of Costa Del Sol, also called Costa Tropical. Here we have a special micro-climate and statistically the best weather in Europe during the winter. Nerja offers more than 300 days of sun or 3000 hours of sun per year. But this climate is very local and therefore by only going to Malaga (45 minutes by car), the weather changes and they have less days of sun and more rain.
- Nerja is still a small village on the coast, where they have succeeded in maintaining the feeling of the genuine Spain. Forget the typical stressed and overexploited tourist villages. Nerja is small and beautiful, with its whitewashed town houses with flower decorated balconies, its meandering streets, and the friendly and hearty town people. There are many good restaurants and tapas bars. Crime rate in Nerja is very low, and you can feel secure at all times. It is easy to enjoy and live in Nerja, and many fall in love with this charming town and return year after year.
- The surroundings of Nerja are beautiful and dramatic at the same time, with the high mountains that somewhere shuts down its spurs all down to the beach. The mountains that surround the village contribute to the excellent climate. The coast consists of small bays with protected sandy beaches and you can even find your own little beach to hang out on, since Nerja is not dominated by big hotels or nightclubs.
- There are many possibilities for different activities. This is thanks to the mountains and the sea and there are activities that suite most people. In the mountains there are many trecking paths and riding routs and with the Mediterranean Sea right here, you can do snorkeling or go for diving expeditions.
- Nerja is perfectly situated for various types of excursions. Immediately nearby you can find Europe´s biggest caves, and the small mountain village Frigiliana, that has won an award for being Spain's most beautiful village. From Nerja it is also easy to get to Gibraltar, the famous Puerto Banus, or one of the many golf courses. Inland you can easily find your way to Seville and Cordoba. In one hour you get to Granada and the world famous Alhambra which was the Moorish Sultan´s Palace. Near Granada you also find Sierra Nevada if you want to change the sun for the snow one day.
- Since 2004 you can find the Wahlberg family in the village of Nerja and their companies, BookNerja and Nerja Adventures. We offer our clients both modern and newly built hotel and apartments.
