Nokia Moves 5.6M Windows Phones, Trims Losses in Q1

Things still aren't great, but Nokia appears to be head in the right direction
Nokia Oyj. (
) has been on a wild ride. For a time it was the largest maker of both smartphones (via its Symbian platform) and feature phones. Then came its struggles to compete with Apple, Inc. (
) and Android, and the
decision to embrace
Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Windows Phone. The bold move seemed to only
hasten Nokia's fall from grace
on the market.
But while it's true that the Nokia of today is
much smaller
and less profitable than the Nokia of yore, it also appears to be returning from the brink and returning to growth.
In Q1 2013 it
[PDF] a humble 5.6 million Lumia phones, up from
4.4m during the holiday quarter
2 million a year ago
. To put that in context, rival Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) sold around 68 million smartphones in the quarter, while the low estimate for Apple's sales is around 34 million.
In other words, Nokia is still a small player, but it's seeing steady growth in its core Windows Phone platform. True, 2 million sales is pathetic, but doubling your sales is still doubling your sales.
And Nokia's balance sheet is also improving. A year ago it made €7.4B ($9.7B USD), but lost €1.34B ($1.70B USD). This quarter it only made €5.9B ($7.7B USD), but trimmed the losses down to €150M ($196M USD). That red may be troubling given that it made €202M ($269.0M USD) in total profit after tax last quarter. But it's not as bad considering that this wasn't a key launch quarter for Nokia smartphone-wise and the holiday quarter tends to be more profitable for all OEMs.
Nokia Lumia 920
The phonemaker did miss analyst targets -- the consensus target for revenue was €6.5B ($8.5B USD), while the loss was roughly in line with the ~€160M ($209M USD) estimate [
Shares in the Finnish phonemaker traded lower on the revenue miss, but that will inevitably turn around if the company continues to grow its Windows Phone sales. Looking ahead, this fall's Windows Phone Blue will be a critical launch for Nokia.
In the meantime the company reportedly has a few devices up its sleeve. It's planning a July refresh to the Lumia 920 that's thinner and lighter, and planning a more affordable version of the 920 for the autumn. Also slated for July will be the long-awaited
Windows Phone version
of the PureView device.

Financial Times
reports that a phablet is also in the works,
The device that can work as a phone and a tablet – known as a "phablet" – similar in size but with more advanced specifications to Samsung's popular Galaxy Note.
This is a key emerging category -- Samsung is leading the way with the Galaxy Mega. Nokia is likely eager to take a piece of the jumbo phone pie as well.

MLA Style Guide for Books
This sheet provides examples of MLA citations styles for other media
Let us know
Was this guide helpful to you?
Most Rio Hondo College instructors prefer that you use the style recommended by the Modern Language Association (MLA) when you prepare your research papers for your English courses.
As you write your research assignment, make sure that you are keeping track of your sources – books, articles, web sites, and other media - because you will have to acknowledge these sources in two places:
(1) Within the body of your paper or essay (in-text citations). Although the MLA Handbook allows for many variations of the in-text citation format (214-232), the usual formats are:
(Author page) where Author refers to the last name of the author and page refers to the page number where you found your information.
(Title page) when no author is given for the work that you're using.
Examples: (Gerson 210)
(Moe and Shandy 146)
("Alienating Latinos" A18)
(2) In a Works Cited page that follows the last page of your paper or essay. This section gives enough information for the reader to locate and obtain a copy of each source you used in the body of your essay or paper.
This guide focuses on the format of citations in the Works Cited page, using examples found in the Rio Hondo College Library book stacks or online databases. Click on one of the tabs to select the type of source you want to cite.

Ask a California attorney.
BTW: Lending someone a gun is not the same as giving someone a gun.
If the gun in question is on loan to you from your friend, it was not a gift.
"Gift" implies legal ownership, as well as possession.
I have a question and the CA laws are a bit confusing. My friend loaned me his handgun while I was visiting in Arizona. I am saving to purchase a gun in CA. I live in CA. I also have an armed firearm carry permit in CA. Can I carry that gun(the caliber is correct on my permit)? Or do I have to do something with registering it even though I am borrowing it until I can save the money to purchase one here.
Ask a California attorney.
BTW: Lending someone a gun is not the same as giving someone a gun.
If the gun in question is on loan to you from your friend, it was not a gift.
"Gift" implies legal ownership, as well as possession.
Steve is correct ask an attorney. That will be your best bet. Be careful about registring or attempting to register a gun you do not own.
Still confused. So what if it is a gift. Do I have to still go thru an FFL to register the gun in CA
Under federal law, a gift handgun (or any other firearm) belongs to the recipient, free and clear, as long as both donor and recipient have been and are in legal possession of the gun.
However, California law has changed since I lived there. It has become more complex, since certain handguns and rifles are forbidden to Californians under certain conditions.
You need to consult an attorney.
If you want to be legal, ALL handgun transfers in CA must go through a licensed dealer, and you will need to still wait the specified days. Accept those given from parent to child, child to parent, grand parent back and forth. These require no FFL transfer, only the filing of a simple form of ownership. Sibling transfers brother to brother are not included. These are treated as any other sale or transfer and must go through an FFL and waiting period. IF, however, the gun was given to you in another state, and there is no previous registration in CA, then all you need is to file the ownership form. Same as buying in another state, and moving to CA. Only the form is required. In addition, you will also need to apply for and pass the NEW HSC test, which is required every 5 years.
I had to go through this to last week to bring some of my AZ guns to CA. Purchased in AZ, but used in CA for home defense. Only needed the ownership form a valid HSC. You can find all this info in the HSC study guide online.
As far as the CA CCW, how in the world did you get that and not know the laws. Is it still valid? The CCW requires you to identify a maximum of three guns which will be covered by the CCW. So NO. You cannot use a borrowed gun. You must own it, and you must identify it on your CCW. I know this because I was trying to find a way to get a CCW last week, and it ain't looking good.
Man am I glad I do not live in California ... Massachusetts .. Illinois .. Wash. D.C. -
Some fine people ... crazy gun laws .. IMHO
Just sayin'
It is enough to makes my head ache. +1 dondavis3

The Hamptons region of eastern Long Island, where the museum is located, has long attracted renowned artists ranging from Willem de Kooning to Chuck Close. Artists have consistently cited the region's distinctive light quality as a major draw.
Because the Parrish specializes in art from the surrounding region, at the outset of the project the architects visited local artists' studios for design inspiration. They found that common features included vernacular architecture and a combination of daylighting and bare fluorescent high colour-rendering lamps. The final design pays homage to these traits. The single-story, 34,400ft2 space uses simple forms and ample natural light to create a warm, welcoming environment.
Arup's design allows the artworks to be seen in light conditions similar to those in which they were created for much of the year, when the museum is lit by generous (and very carefully placed) north-facing skylights. In periods of insufficient daylight, straightforward rows of fluorescent lights illuminate the galleries.
The museum is open to the public free of charge from November 10-12.
A unique and challenging lighting design for a new Denver museum.
Lighting design to emphasize connections to nature at a historic museum.
Daylighting design for an art gallery illuminated primarily by natural light.

Drove straight through both ways, not one problem with the car and averaged 23 mpg both ways at 70 to 80 mph with the trunk packed full and three passengers. I mean not one hickup or wimper out of the caddy at all. I was so pleased with this car, the ride was outstanding and it handled very well even in the mountians. I went from Florida to Dallas Texas, then through northern New Mexico and Arizona into California and then up I-5 to Oregon. On the return trip we traveled down through Reno and Las Vegas Nevada to Arizona, (no more of that golden fuel bills in California for me),:rant2: and then returned the same route to Florida. I can now highly recommend the FWB to anyone for a road trip car in style and comfort.:thumbsup: Now to get all the bugs and dirt off the front end is the next task.:want:

Again, no menion of the battery. If its built in then this is another cheap camcorder with a defined life of perhaps 2 years.
I have used this cam, and have edited the video footage too! Its a alright cam, but you see that its trying to focus on anything. Which in turn brings out crap quality.
@JDunn The battery is removable.
The S-series Camileo cameras are fantastic value at under £70 now..I have owned the earlier S10 model for a year took some great video and photos with it. Although they have fixed lenses and no manual controls, the video quality makes up for that in my opinion. It is far better than all it's competitors including the Flip, for both for videos and stills (I tried a few). I often shoot stills with my S10 rather than carry around a bulky digital camera, as the image quality is very decent in both wide angle and macro. The main selling points for me are the incredibly compact size (you really don't notice it in your pocket) the long battery life and fast charging time.
HI All,
Can we use this as a webcam? coz when I try to connect it with computer it only brings up windows explorer so I could copy or delete the video files
s type is great I do have one but its battery lifespan is finished and I am in Africa in Namibia I could not get its battery in the market,

Paint prep with exposed bondo
I'll try to be as to the point as possible... I have painted my rig with etching primer. Had a misshap had to do some minor repairs.
I wanted to put a second coat of primer on. Its been several months since tha last coat. Keep in mind this is a working project..a jeep to be exact. I need to rinse the dust off of the rest so I can coat the whole thing at once. Will the water hurt the exposed bondo? Should I paint the bondo first. then prep wash? I have been stipping the paint & then painting with primer. As I can only work on this once a month it has been a process to get stripped.
Thanks SC
Water will not hurt the bondo...There are even times to wet sand bondo and putties... ... Here is a favorite thread from years back showing how wet bondo can help the eye see if it's straight.
.If metal is a factor have some Rustmort* handy and spritz it into the process as you go...Phosphoric acid based rust removers question
Last edited by milo; 03-18-2006 at 04:34 PM.
Thanks Milo, I had read your thread several times. Just wanted to make sure on the washing. Since I had to use a chemical paint stripper I thought I might have some isues. I used a degreaser on the cowel where I stripped the paint this weekend. I was going to wash this area & the rest with soapy water, & try to just use straight water where the bondo is exposed.
Thanks again!
Filler will absorb water, so give it lots of dry time before putting anything on top of it!
I am sorry but there is NO reason, NONE , ZERO to EVER put water on plastic filler. And certainly not to "see if it is straight". Milo, Milo, Milo, what are you thinking???
Plastic filler WILL absorb water, call the Evercoat tech department and find out. There is NO reason to wet sand it, there is no reason to get it wet PERIOD. This isn't my opinion, this is the standard of the industry NO ONE that I have ever seen in HUNDREDS of body shops I have been in would think this is a good idea. Milo, I know you can take it, or I would't lay into you this way. As crashtech said, sure you could let it dry out. But why get it wet in the first place? I don't want to see anyone doing such a thing. IF, you have found it to "work", that is fine and dandy, rock on with your bad self. But it goes against EVERYTHING I have ever read or understood about the product. PLUS, there is NO reason, NONE , ZERO to EVER put water on plastic filler.
Listen SC, run over the thing with a red scuff pad, blow it off and prime it for goodness sakes. This is primer, if there is some dust in it, or what have you, it is no big deal. It IS going to be sanded later, "surfaced", anyway. A few bits of dust isn't going to hurt a thing. If you have to, wipe it with a fast, weak, wax and grease remover. But unless your kid sprayed WD-40 all over the shop or you sanded it while eating a bacon cheese burger, there is no need for that either.
P.S. Did I mention that there is NO reason, NONE , ZERO to EVER put water on plastic filler?
Thanks fo rthe input guys...This is why I asked the question. Just did'nt want to do something that would cause the final paint job to go bad.
Like I stated before, I have had to strip the paint with chemical stripper in sections.
I think I've got it now. Just need to maker sure there is no grease, wax etc. before the color goes on.
Thanks again!
That and helping CJ882 get his project on to it's next stage. He was asking about water on his bondo and would it hurt it. It won't.
Now moisture is another thing,
Of course a panel shouldn't sit out in even air overnight. Water isn't the problem though. They even make water based paints. I look forward to operations I can use water to prevent headaches from fumes or dusts. More so than for any benifit to the actual process i.e.keeping sand paper from loading and what ever other side effect it does add including viewing reflections whilste splashing h20..
If we can smell it we're doing it wrong.. it's too much and needs to be controled or managed somehow if we want to do it a lot.
When they hoist sunken treasure it's kept safe in water..
Your argument is like the guy at work who doesn't want to use weld thru primer because he has a hard time welding while using it. The solution isn't to skip the weld thru primer, the solution is to learn how to weld!
I have seen a lot of guys who will make a lot more dust while sanding filler than other guys.
1. Use the best, sharpest paper you can buy. The more you CUT the filler the larger the particles will be and they will fall to the floor instead of flying around.
2. Use the coarsest paper you can for each step. Again, the particles stay larger and fall to the floor.
3. Change your paper often! Do NOT hit the paper, blow off the paper, or any other damn thing to knock dust into the air. Simply TEAR THE CLOGGED PAPER OFF THE TOOL AND THROW IT AWAY! It isn't cutting worth a darn anyway if it is getting clogged up! Change to NICE NEW, SHARP paper to CUT the filler instead of "polishing" it.
4. Use the "Emory Robinson method" I lay out in the "Basics of Basics". With a use of this procedure you can do just about any filler job in two applications. One in regular filler that you sand with 40 or 36 (large particles) and two with polyester putty (sanded with 120 and 180). Applying filler over and over will make more dust than anything else.
Sure it creates dust, but THAT is part of the job. If you want to eliminate dust, metal finish everything. I must admit, you can do this on many jobs. But in the real world you are going to have to use filler in shop. Use it properly and you will have much less dust.
Martin is a 100% right.
Also it was noted:
"I had to use paint striper."
If that means your leaving body filler that has been exposed to paint striper your in deep trouble. You cannot neutralize the stripper that the body filler soaked up.
That body filler must come off.
One other note even if you let the wet body filler set for a week, it is very unlikely that all the water will come out. That is just crazy.

BarryK, thanks for your input. The bondo was & is free of any contaminates. I mentioned the stripper because I had read that this area needs to be washed after the grease & wax remove had been applied.
Primer coating?
I have another question moving forward with my project. I have coated the entire body with etching primer as recomended to me by the local body shop.
I am entertaining the idea of painting the whole thing myself now. My question is should I paint over the etching primer with epoxy or some other type of primer before the base coat?
Another thing to keep in mind is that it may be a month or two before I paint the base coat. Meaning I may drive the jeep around the pasture some before I bring her to town to paint the base coat.
Thanks again for the input!
CJ, check with your paint supplier if paint can be applied directly to the primer you are using, if possible have them print you a copy of the tech cheet for this primer and also the paint you'll be using. Many self etching primers cannot be painted over without using a sealer. I've seen clear delamination on jobs that were painted directly over self etch.
Your bodyshop may have caused you some work. First off, if you are going to use etching primer, it has a "window" prior to applying the next product on. In this case, if you want to apply epoxy primer over it, you could have done it within twenty minutes for up to as little as four hours to as much as 24 hours or maybe more depending on the particular brand or product.
Some may even need to be re-applied and can't even be sanded and top coated with something after a certain time.
What etch primer did you use?
As Bob mentioned some can be shot over with paint others can't. I have actually seen a LOT of S-W etch painted right over on trucks and trailers with great results.
You will likely be able to scuff this etch with a red scuff pad and then apply your epoxy OR my choice would be urethane at this point. The urethane is much easier to sand when it comes time for painting.
Brian, I do not remember the brand of primer I used as I threw the can away last week. I bought it at the local auto parts store. It had a one to one mix ratio.
Will the urethane primer seal against rust as well as the epoxy? May be a dumb question but I had rather ask than assume .and we all know what they say about assuming .
Thanks again
Yes, at this point the urethane or epoxy are going to get the job done, they will both "seal" the etch primer off.
You should get the name of the etch, but I would say the odds are greatly in your favor that you could just scuff it with a red scuff pad and spray the urethane or epoxy.

The two policemen, in their mid-20s, were posted on duty during the Ahmedabad gay pride march held on December 1st, in which the victim had participated. Today as the man was returning to his car, the policemen recognized and accosted him, asking if he had taken part in the march (images of the victim were seen on the print and electronic media which had covered the pride march). On his confirmation, the cops demanded to see his license and papers and started hurling abuses at him. The victim protested and tried to get away, but the cops started beating him up with sticks and forced themselves on him, abusing him all the time and remarking 'jab poori duniya se marwai hai, toh humse bhi marwa le' (when you have got fucked by the whole world, then get fucked by us too) . The man returned home battered and bruised with multiple wounds on his body. The cops were not drunk and were in full control of their senses.

Hi all,
new to the forums here and was wondering if anyone could help me out with some info.
I'm in the Los Angeles area and I was wondering if anyone knows of "local" wheel shops (new and/or used) around here. Was hoping to find a place where I could trade in my set of Enkei wheels for some credit and pick up a fresh set of wheels for summer. Has to be local because I can't really do this kind of trade thing online. wheels could be brand new or used, either is cool as long as they look fresh. I've searched but can't seem to find too many around. I'm not worried about taking a little drive to get the right set of wheels. So any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

"Intense aromas of blackberry, toasty oak
and chocolate. Full-bodied, with big, juicy
fruit and lots of spicy, peppery and fruity
character. Long and luscious."-Wine Spectator
The rest of the vineyards (25 hectares) are located in Panzano (6 Km south of Greve): they are planted with Chardonnay used to produce the 'Cabreo La Pietra".
Cabreo was conceived as an Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) wine in order to take advantage of the flexibility provided by the regulations of this type of classification. It allows the great potential of the Tuscan's terroir to produce a variety of high quality wines.

Chateau Cantegril (375ML Futures Pre-sale) 2010
Other Dessert from Sauternes, Bordeaux, France
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2010 Chateau Cantegril has a pure nose with lifted scents of lemon curd and honey. The palate has a lively entry with racy acidity, and despite its linear finish, it exhibits admirable tension and poise, and seems to blossom with touches of brioche and vanilla with continued aeration. This is a lovely Cantegril.
Barrel Sample: 89-91 Points "
Wine Spectator - "A friendly, open-knit style, featuring tasty dried pineapple, white peach and meringue notes framed by a honeysuckle edge on the finish. Pure, with the meringue note lingering. Drink now through 2021."
Chateau Cantegril Winery
Cantegril is a 22 hectare single block enclosed vineyard situated on the calcareous plateau of Haut-Barsac. It is located on the site of an old fortified castle named after the same that was built in the Middle Ages. It belonged successively to the Duke of Epernon and the Lords of Cantegril, one of whom married a young lady of the Myrat Family and had the present-day Chateau Myrat built on a part of the Cantegril Estate.
A civil court order dated December 24, 1862, confirms that Cantegril was separated from Myrat in 1854. It was acquired by the Segur Montagne family and underwent several ownership transfers prior to becoming the property of Charles Rodberg, Belgian Consul in Bordeaux, and then of Emile Raymond. The Lhermite Mansencal family, Denis Dubourdieu's maternal great grandparents acquired Cantegril in 1924.
Although absent from the 1855 official ranking, the Chateau Cantegril is mentioned among the best Barsac growth in the various publications of 'Bordeaux et ses vins classes par ordre de merite' by Charles Cocks and Edouard Ferret (1874, 1881, 1886, 1893, 1898, 1908, 1922, 1929).
In the same family since 1924, Cantegril has been successively run by Andre Mansencal until 1978, by his son in law Pierre Dubourdieu till 2000 and currently by Denis Dubourdieu. View all Chateau Cantegril Wines
About Sauternes and Barsac(saw-TURN & BAR-sak)
Liquid Gold
The regions of Sauternes & Barsac are both located southeast of Graves, almost directly south of St-Émilion, and hug the Garonne River as it curves. Both areas are dedicated to producing sweet, white wines. The rains, the mists, the humidity and the climate, all help foster the necessary mold that leads to the unfortified, but lusciously sweet wines produced there.
Notable Facts
Semillon is the primary grape here as it takes well to bortrytis, also known as "noble rot." Sauvignon Blanc is used in the blend to add acidity to the richer, thicker Semillon. The process for making the sweet wines of Sauternes and Barsac is long, labored and costly. After it has reached maximum ripeness, the Semillon grapes are left on the vine until they are infected with botrytis. This helpful mold then shrivels the grapes, concentrating the sugars but maintaining the acids. Weather is not always agreeable and berries must be picked at just the right moment, all by hand. The grapes yield less juice than dry wines, due to their shriveled and concentrated state. Some houses, like the famed Chateau d'Yquem, will not make a wine in a less-than-perfect year. All these factors lead to highly prized, and often expensive, wine. However, the taste is well worth it. In the palate the wines of Sauternes & Barsac are luscious and sweet, yet with the balanced acidity to keep them from being too cloying or candied.Wines with the Sauternes AC must be sweet - dry wines are labeled under the Graves or Bordeaux AC. Barsac wines may be labeled either Barsac AC or Sauternes AC. Typically, Barsac wines are a little lighter in body and less intense than Sauternes.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

1. Re: Is it possible to install OEM 12c on a server already running OEM 11g ?Akanksha Sheoran Kaler-Oracle Dec 18, 2012 3:39 PM (in response to 980338)Hi,
Yes it is allowed to install EM 12c on same host but you need to make sure that the hardware is strong enough to keep both the OMS'es up and running. For production system setup i will not recommend you this approach but if this if for your testing purpose you can install both the OMSes on same host with different repositories.
Your second question is not clear, if your final goal is to have em 12c in your enviro then you can go through the proper EM upgrade method which will take care of all target and history migration. Manually doing all is not supported.
Pls go through this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E24628_01/index.htm
2. Re: Is it possible to install OEM 12c on a server already running OEM 11g ?Smitha-Oracle Dec 18, 2012 3:53 PM (in response to Akanksha Sheoran Kaler-Oracle)If you decide to install both 11g and 12c on the same machine, remember that the OHS server administration port is by default common for both - 9999. There is no option to customise this during the WLS installation itself.1 person found this helpful
So, webtier in the 12c install will fail to startup if the 11g oms is running.
To modify the port in the 11g OMS:
- Stop the oms :
emctl stop oms -all
- Take a backup of the <gc_inst>/WebTierIH1/config/OHS/ohs1/admin.conf
- Edit the file and modify the port 9999 references to some other free port. Save the file.
- Re-start the OMS.
Start the 12c oms installation after this.

This is a great easy recipe and always a big hit.
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
8 oz sour cream
1 16oz can corn (do not drain)
1 16oz can cream corn
1 (or 1/2) stick "melted" butter
Mix all ingredients together in a casserole dish (ungreased) blending well
Bake at 325 for 45 minutes and test with a knife to be sure it comes out clean
You can double the recipe and cook for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours but keep an eye on it.
Sauteed onions and peppers (chopped small)
Well cooked crumbled bacon

Prenatal Ultrasound Services
Prenatal Ultrasound Services
Routine prenatal ultrasounds, also called sonograms, have been used for many years to create a visual image of your baby, placenta, uterus and other pelvic organs. PinnacleHealth provides a full range of ultrasound services using the latest, most advanced technology.
At PinnacleHealth, you have access to state-of-the-art 4-D ultrasound technology that allows you and your physician to see a detailed, lifelike image of your growing baby. Your physician may recommend a 4-D ultrasound if he or she is concerned about a problem with your baby or if you are having a medical procedure that requires ultrasound guidance.
Your physician may recommend a 4-D ultrasound in several circumstances, including:
- Diagnosing pregnancy
- Determining fetal age
- Diagnosing congenital abnormalities
- Evaluating the position of your placenta
- Determining a multiple pregnancy
Studies show that 3-D and 4-D ultrasounds are safe during pregnancy. However, 3-D and 4-D ultrasound machines release higher levels of energy than traditional ultrasound machines. Therefore, it is recommended that 3-D and 4-D ultrasounds only be performed at the request of your physician when medically necessary.
What to Expect
Ultrasound technology sends high-frequency sound waves into your body and displays the echoes of those sound waves as real-time images on a video screen. Ultrasound scanners consist of a computer, a video display screen and a small, handheld device used to scan the body, called a transducer.
You will be asked to lie back on an exam table. Your technician will put a lubricating jelly on your abdomen that allows the transducer to slide easily back and forth. Your technician will conduct your exam by moving the transducer around your abdomen to capture images of your baby, placenta and other internal structures.
Contact PinnacleHealth to Get Started
If you are looking for 3-D or 4-D ultrasound services, contact PinnacleHealth to schedule an appointment. With locations throughout Central PA, expert help is often a quick call and short drive away. Use our locations and providers sections below to get started.

Coaching's always been an unusual job, and coaches have always been hired and fired for varying reasons, some of which are not always apparent to the naked eye. But the more things stay the same, the more they change. Firing coaches, and replacing them, seems to require a more complex algorithm than ever before, especially at the college level.
Take the Ohio State vacancy. Normally that job would have gone, at the proper moment, to a hand-picked successor. There would have been a ceremonial handing over of a Jim Tressel sweater vest, and all would have been well in Columbus.
Instead, you have an NCAA investigation, an interim coach, an unhappy Buckeye nation, and finally — ta-da! — Urban Meyer, who left the University of Florida because he was unwell, wanted to spend time with his family, or whatever, but suddenly wants to move to Ohio.
An even more difficult example, of course, is the Penn State job. The school can't even begin to talk about filling that position, of course, because it literally has no leadership. And when it does finally get around to hiring a football coach, those interviews will include discussions that candidates probably have never had in their lives. (And that is as it should be.)
A college football coach's job used to come with what seemed like automatic tenure. Most got five years to prove themselves (and they signed long-term, guaranteed contracts as a result because hey, what could go wrong?) Those days — at least the five years part — seem to be over. The guaranteed contracts, however, remain.
When John Feinstein called for Maryland to oust Randy Edsall after one season, there was a hue and cry — but not as much as you might have expected. The football program was wretched this season, the Edsall Way seems not to be working, and without football revenue, Maryland will be in dire trouble. Ask the student athletes whose sports are being eliminated. (That's not on Edsall, of course.) Schools have to balance whether it's fiscally more responsible to pay off a coach's (huge) contract or allow him to stay and risk the continued loss of revenue. That's the new algorithm that is still being perfected.
My alma mater's football program eerily mirrors Maryland. Kansas decided to fire Turner Gill after two seasons. Like Edsall, he was brought in to replace a popular coach who'd brought great success to the program. Like Edsall, he was a strict disciplinarian. Like Edsall, his team couldn't win. In fact, his team seemed to regress in two seasons. Now Gill gets $6 million for failing — and few in Kansas are screaming about it. That's how poorly the team played.
Talk about mirror images: Mike Leach is the name most mentioned as a possible replacement for Gill, just as he was mentioned as a replacement for Ralph Friedgen. The reason? It's not necessarily wins and losses. Thanks in part to conference realignment, it's marketability in negotiating television contracts, which translates to revenue. Leach's teams put on quite an air show. The Big 12 can sell even a losing team that passes for 500 yards when it comes time to negotiate a TV contract.
So now not only do schools have to be in areas with a lot of televisions tuned to their games, but the schools also must provide good programming for those televisions — not just wins, but exciting wins. Or exciting losses. (Never mind that the four major networks can't provide good programming despite having an entire country at their disposal.)
Schools have long had to look for coaches who appealed to alumni, looked good on the sideline and gave a good sound bite. Graduating players and keeping NCAA investigators at bay was a bonus.
Now the list of requirements is longer. There will be background checks done by professionals who'll dig deep. The new coach must hire assistants with equally spotless records. He must graduate enough players to avoid NCAA sanctions. He must keep his players out of tattoo parlors they can't afford, make sure they pay for their own cars, watch those alums he has just charmed into making donations to ensure they aren't making the wrong kind of donations behind his back — and he's got to draw up a breathtaking offense that will help his conference negotiate a television contract.
Why would anyone want these jobs? Oh, right, the millions you get, whether you succeed or fail. You'd think, since college football has realigned itself with no one lifting a finger to stop it, that it could turn its attention to these guaranteed contracts, which are, after all, costing schools millions. Well, as they say on many campuses across the nation around this time, maybe next year.

Cabin etiquette
No matter how pimp the cabin is, living quarters on your man trip will feel cramped at times. A little courtesy goes a long way when everyone is crammed in tighter and potentially smellier than LNP's pants.
• Don't empty the last of the fresh water and just walk away. That's a bitch move. Refill it. Same goes for the coffee pot.
• Never wake a bro up early unless it's bluebird.
• Leave your shaving kit at home, but feel free to bring deodorant.
• Don't wake up in the middle of the night and piss on your cabin mates. Also don't aim your dong through the half-open door and piss on the front step because you're too lazy to put on your boots and step outside.
• Never hang your wet socks on a bro's balaclava.
• If you absolutely must throw a sleeping bag speed-jack on the man trip, do so quietly and discreetly—no moaning.
• If you didn't help cook dinner, you better help clean up after.
• Mix a drink or fetch a beer for the guys on firewood duty.
• Before you smoke one inside, get crew approval. Otherwise, go outside.
• Don't attempt to wax your board using the heat of the woodstove.
• Don't bogart every hook, nail, and drying spot to hang up your wet gear.
• Bring your own supply of toilet paper.
• Bringing your bongos on the trip is cool but unless your name is Mongo Santamaría, don't play them for more than 15 minutes at a time—preferably before dudes are sleeping.
• The only "morning wood" your bros should see on the man trip belongs in the woodstove.
• Avoid total group blowout: Save the Indian food feast for the last night of the trip.
Safety First (Let's get serious for a second)
• Avalanche Transceiver, Probe, And Shovel
Having this stuff means nothing if you don't know how to use it properly according to your predetermined emergency action plan. When the shit hits the fan, you're only as safe as the weakest link in your crew. Don't be that guy.
• First Aid Trauma Kit
If your crew doesn't include a rider with some legit first aid know-how, you could really be bumming. Be sure your appointed medic and/or first aid kit is with you at all times, easy to access, and loaded with sufficient supplies for the size of your crew.
• Satellite Phone
If you're going to the right place for your trip, your cell phones aren't going to work. No cell service means you'll need a sat phone to reach safety services in the event of a disaster. Backcountry outfitters, mountaineering shops, and snowmobile shops are the best places to find a rental sat phone for your trip. Get this crucial lifeline, the emergency dialing sequence, and your game plan figured out in advance.
• GPS/Satellite Tracker
Everyone in the crew needs to share the man trip plan, location, and trip timeframe with someone who will notice if they don't return. But your crew should also be able to pinpoint their whereabouts if something sketchy goes down. A mobile GPS unit allows you to give safety services your exact coordinates over the sat phone. Satellite tracker/messaging units like the ones made by SPOT and ElectroFlip make it even easier for you to check in and/or alert safety services if you need them.

Farmers Face Empty-Nest Syndrome Amid Chicken Housing Crisis
Poultry Growers Lose Contracts, Can't Pay Off Their Pricey Coops; $200,000 Per House
CENTER RIDGE, Ark. -- Like many Americans, Darris and Sarah Dixon are struggling with mortgage payments and trying to avoid bankruptcy.
But the home the Dixons live in isn't the problem. The problem is their three chicken houses, on which they owe nearly $500,000.
"There's no way we'll make the chicken house payments," Mr. Dixon says from his farm abutting the Ozark Mountains.
A chicken housing crisis has cropped up in the U.S., and it's producing some of the same bleak results as the human one -- foreclosures, lawsuits and devastated homeowners.
In the wake of last year's bankruptcy filing by poultry giant Pilgrim's Pride Corp. , hundreds of farmers suddenly find themselves unable to make mortgage payments on their pricey chicken coops.
To cut costs, Pilgrim's, the nation's second-largest chicken company, has terminated contracts with at least 300 farms in Arkansas, Florida and North Carolina. Under these contracts, farmers receive a set price per pound for raising chicks supplied by Pilgrim's until they are ready for slaughter. The company turns the birds into nuggets, wings and other food.
Pilgrim's still has contracts with more than 5,000 growers nationwide, and executives say they are trying to cut as few as possible. They say the reason the 300 farms weren't needed was that Pilgrim's stopped or reduced production at processing plants in those areas. "It's a very sad situation," says Don Jackson, the company's president and chief executive. But "the company is in bad shape." Last year Pilgrim's had a loss of nearly $1 billion.
For the farmers who have been cut loose, no contract means no chicks, which means no revenue -- and no money to pay off the coop mortgages. Chicken houses without chickens or contracts have virtually no resale value. And with the poultry industry in retreat, rival producers aren't looking for new growers. Tyson Foods Inc., the largest chicken company, and Perdue Farms Inc., the third largest, both say they're not cutting contracts with their farmers because of the industry downturn.
Today's chicken houses are bigger and more sophisticated than the coops of yore. Made from corrugated metal and wooden beams, the cavernous shacks can be longer than a football field and cost more than $200,000. To maximize profits, many farmers own at least four, meaning high-six-figure mortgages are common.
Inside the biggest such coops, more than 20,000 chickens spend their lives pecking at feeders and water spigots on a dirt floor. Computers regulate temperature. Most houses are kept dark to minimize activity so birds pack on more pounds.
A chick typically arrives weighing about three ounces and leaves six to nine weeks later at a plump four to eight pounds. Pilgrim's growers say they earn about 5 cents per pound per bird, although that varies. A typical farmer with four large chicken houses can gross between $125,000 and $150,000 a year. Expenses often amount to more than 30% of their income.
The houses grew in number and size as world-wide chicken consumption spurred greater production. In 2008, a record 36.5 billion pounds of chicken were produced in the U.S., up 32% from a decade earlier, says the National Chicken Council. Pilgrim's expanded its contract base to more than 5,000 growers, up from 1,300 in 1998.
But chicken demand has slowed along with the global economy. For the first time since 1975, the U.S. is expected to produce less chicken than in a prior year. Poultry companies typically cut back by reducing the number of chicks given to each farmer, but Pilgrim's finances were so dire that it decided to terminate some contracts, says Mr. Jackson, the president and CEO. The Pilgrim's spokesman says it's "not unusual for contracts to be terminated on an ongoing basis -- albeit at a very low rate."
Brad and Robin Dunlap of Springfield, Ark., lost their contract with Pilgrim's in August. The couple, who have three small children, say they owe about $200,000 on four chicken houses.
To make ends meet, Mrs. Dunlap, 27 years old, took a job at a medical-device company and Mr. Dunlap, 31, went into dairy farming with his father. They worry about having to file for bankruptcy protection.
"It makes you sick," Mrs. Dunlap says over beef-stew in her dining room. "Right now we're still feeding our kids. But our credit will probably be ruined after all this is over with."
Plumerville, Ark., farmer Steve "Peewee" Dixon (no relation to Darris or Sarah Dixon), 50, had his Pilgrim's contract terminated while still owing more than $100,000 on two chicken houses. Last month, he filed for bankruptcy after his lender foreclosed. "That was my retirement," Mr. Dixon says.
In Arkansas, 74 chicken farms have banded together to sue Pilgrim's. In their lawsuit, filed in state court in Van Buren County., the farmers say company representatives induced them to build chicken houses by making promises like their "grandkids will have chickens," according to court documents.
A Pilgrim's spokesman declined to comment on pending litigation. The company says contract terminations were a legal, necessary step to reduce costs amid volatile commodity markets and depressed chicken prices.
Losing their contract was a blow to Darris Dixon, 30, and wife Sarah, 27. In April 2005, they'd been married just over a year when Mr. Dixon quit his job delivering ice and took out a $532,000 loan from Farm Credit Services of Western Arkansas to build three chicken houses.
Under the Dixons' contract, Pilgrim's provided chicks, feed and other services in exchange for shelter and waste disposal, among other things. Things went well for three years. "We had no trouble making our loan payments," says Mr. Dixon, a lanky man in blue jeans and a John Deere cap. "I had more money than I ever had." The family spent $140,000 remodeling their three-bedroom home and bought a new tractor for $25,000.
Last May, a tornado whipped through Center Ridge, population 1,332, demolishing two of the Dixons' chicken houses. Their $370,000 insurance payment wasn't enough to rebuild; they grappled with whether to quit.
Mr. Dixon says he received a visit from a Pilgrim's representative who said, "Build them back as quick as you can and get 'em rolling again."
The Pilgrim's spokesman says, "At the time of the May tornado, the company was in need of square footage for housing...But no one could have foreseen the dramatic changes that occurred in the U.S. chicken industry last summer."
The Dixons tapped their savings to rebuild. On Aug. 1, a fresh batch of Pilgrim's chicks took up residence. Ten days later, Pilgrim's called to say those chicks would be the last.
"It was just a shock at first," recalls the Mrs. Dixon, tears welling as her newborn son slept in a bassinet.
One recent day, Mr. Dixon swung open the door to one of his 500-foot-long chicken houses. Feathers blew around the cool, damp floor. Instead of clucking chickens, silence filled the air. "It's hard to just see [the houses] sitting there," Mr. Dixon said.
He fears the Dixons won't be able to afford the $60,000 payment they owe in May. They've cut back on dining out and left unfinished the walk to their home. As for bankruptcy, Mr. Dixon says, "If that's what it takes, we'll just have to do it."

BURGEONING South Korean luxury car brand Genesis has issued a teaser image and
video offering glimpses of a sports sedan concept it will reveal at the New
York motor show this week, possibly previewing an upcoming BMW 3 Series fighter.
The high-end Hyundai spin-off describes the four-door as "expressing the design
direction that will distinguish forthcoming Genesis products".
A dimly-lit front-on photo reveals the concept will have a broad-shouldered,
purposeful stance and distinctive low-profile, three-dimensional effect LED
headlights either side of the familiar trapezoidal Genesis grille.
The video provides additional hints of the attention to detail lavished on this
concept, such as graduated honeycomb-esque grilles behind the front wheels and
the intricate lace-like design of the interior's air-conditioning vents.
Genesis brand head Manfred Fitzgerald said the concept is a "progressive
concept car that showcases the design quality of the brand".
"With its expressive volumes and refined design, the New York concept truly
embodies the athletic elegance, which characterises Genesis products," he said.
Genesis revealed the G90 limousine late last year, which will go after German
stalwarts such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class but is currently only confirmed for
left-hand-drive markets.
For now, Australians must make do with Hyundai's E-Class-sized Genesis sedan,
priced between $60,000 and $82,000 plus on-road costs.

IMF's Lagarde wants "real fix" for Greece as slowdown spreads
By Lesley Wroughton and Niluksi Koswanage
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Greece needs a lasting solution to its debt burden to avoid a prolonged crisis as Europe's slowdown and U.S. fiscal problems dampen the economic outlook in Asia, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said on Wednesday.
The IMF expects a "real fix" for Greece that puts its debt on a sustainable path as quickly as possible, Lagarde said, showing no signs of backing down in a clash with the EU over how Athens can bring its debt down to a sustainable level.
"Obviously, from the IMF's perspective, we expect a real fix, not a quick fix, and that means clearly a debt that is sustainable as quickly as possible," Lagarde told a news conference in Malaysia at the start of a visit to Asia that will also take her to the Philippines and Cambodia.
Euro zone finance ministers have suggested Greece, where the euro zone debt crisis began, should be given until 2022 to lower its debt to gross domestic product (GDP) ratio to 120 percent, but Lagarde has insisted the existing target of 2020 should remain, in an unusually public airing of disagreement.
The IMF is pushing back at having to return to Athens every few months to renegotiate terms of Greece's bailout, which was frozen by elections and slow reforms.
The IMF has pressed Europe to restructure Greece's official debt owed to euro zone nations to reduce the country's debt burden more aggressively. One option is to further lower the interest rate on loans made to Greece and extend the repayment time until the economy is healthy again.
Lagarde said that all of Greece's international partners shared the same goal of ensuring the terms of the country's bailout package were put on track and the country could access financial markets as quickly as possible.
The IMF chief limited questions on Greece to one during the news conference, saying she wanted to focus on her visit to Southeast Asia where economic growth has been driven by domestic demand and has remained resilient despite the global slowdown. Continued...

Parliament's sleaze watchdog was today expected to ask Culture Secretary Maria Miller for full details of her household bills as he began a probe into her expenses.
Standards commissioner John Lyon wants to establish whether the taxpayer was charged a fair share of the running costs of a Wimbledon house where the minister's parents have lived for 20 years.
David Cameron yesterday declared his "full support" for Mrs Miller, who has been accused by a newspaper of possibly breaching section 3.2.2 of the Commons Green Book. This says MPs must avoid any arrangement "which may give rise to an accusation that you are, or someone close to you is, obtaining an immediate benefit or subsidy from public funds".
Mrs Miller received £90,718 in expenses towards the family home and Mr Lyon will want to know who covered her parents' living costs, and how many nights a week Mrs Miller stayed there.
The commissioner may also investigate whether she broke rule 3.9.1, which said an MP's "second home" should be where they spend fewer nights.
Mrs Miller counted the family home in Wimbledon as a second home and a rented property in Basingstoke as her main home.
A spokesman said the Basingstoke MP will "fully co-operate" with any inquiry.

Regulators worldwide are increasingly being vigilant about any greenwashing business for consumers' protection and rightly so.
The FTC is already looking to revised their Environmental Marketing guidelines through a series of workshops that examines green marketing.
In Norway, tighter advertising guidelines on cars are being enforced such as fining car makers if they use the words 'environmentally friendly', 'green', 'clean', 'environmental car', 'natural' or similar descriptions, according to a Reuters article.
"If someone says their car is more 'green' or 'environmentally friendly' than others then they would have to be able to document it in every aspect from production, to emissions, to energy use, to recycling. In practice that can't be done," says a Norwegian government official.
EnviroMedia, a green marketing agency based in Austin, Texas, recently launched its Greenwashing Index, where anybody can rate any company's green advertisings and marketing claims.
The Malaysian Palm Oil Council, a Chevy billboard, a coal advertising in Pennsylvania, Kermit the Frog (in a Ford commercial), and an advertising about waste management are some of the top green hogwashers in the Index.
I think a Greenwash Index is a good idea for warning consumers about unscrupulous marketers. However, one major issue is trying to define what green really means to a consumer. Some of the participants seem to be giving bad rates just because they can and not because of any reasonable explanations on why they think the ads are misleading or their products are not being green enough. One commented about Kermit being a traitor and rated the Ford ad as a total greenwash (the highest uncomplimentary rate is 5).
Another rated an eco water bottle with 4.6 because reducing its plastic content by 30% is not good enough to use the word "eco". To him (or her), the only way a plastic water bottle can be green is by not existing at all.

GERMAN goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel is keen to extend his stay at Swansea City.
Tremmel is out of contract at the end of the season but wants to stay after being given the chance to play in the Premier League under Michael Laudrup.
The 33-year-old revealed last week he was close to leaving Swansea in the summer because of a lack of first team action behind the highly-rated Dutchman Michel Vorm.
But Vorm was ruled out for two months after suffering a torn groin muscle against Manchester City on October 27 – and Tremmel has performed well in the last three games.
"If both parties are happy then of course I'd like to stay," said Tremmel. "But it's not just up to me, it's up to the club and the manager too.
"I'm sure we will have some talks in the near future. It's not my first contract so I'm aware of the situation. I know that if I perform well in the next month then it will help me."
Vorm is expected to be out until Christmas and, while Tremmel has not been given any assurances by Laudrup about his place, he hopes to put down a marker for the shirt by the time the Dutchman returns to full fitness.
"I will give 100% and try to do my best to help the team and the club." he said.
Meanwhile, Swansea have confirmed South Korean midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng will miss Saturday's trip to Newcastle with a hamstring strain.
Ki suffered the injury in the dying moments of the 1-1 draw at Southampton last weekend but a scan showed the problem was not as bad as first feared.
He was expected to be out for up to two weeks but should now return in time to face Liverpool at home on November 25.
Dutch midfielder Kemy Agustien could deputise for Ki as he hopes to make his first Premier League start of the season, although Danny Graham could be in contention after a back problem ruled him out of the game at St Mary's.
Chico Flores is also expected to return following a dead leg.

I have found someone to take the job. Thanks everyone, for your interest!
Hey all,
I run a little show called Video Game Music Remastered (VGMR for short) on YouTube. If any of you are VGM fans, you might know my channel "sschafi1".
Anyway, I'm starting to design a website (nothing too fancy, just using WIX), and I'd love to have a personal logo to go with it. If anyone would like to help me out with this, I'd really appreciate it! You can e-mail me here: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks guys and gals
Thanks! Gotta love 8Dio and Heavyocity products
Congrats! I like it a lot
Which libraries did you use, if you don't mind telling? I'm always curious to see what libraries people use for their productions
Sounds maybe like East West for the strings?
Well, this just got approved today, which is a good sign, haha.
But this is my first crack at mixing rock with electronica-style libraries, so I'm looking for some suggestions for stuff I could do in the future if I were to make more tracks of this genre.
Any and all feedback is appreciated! Thanks! Here's the piecehttp://audiojungle.net/item/epic-rock-intro/4882846
Thanks! Hopefully it's a sign of things to come
So I checked my account using the handy little NvatoMe app, and there before me was a sale that was much higher than the rest. My first extended license sale!
I fixed the drums' volume, so it should sound a bit better now
I have no idea if you still need any music, as this thread is pretty old, but you can check out my portfolio if you want. I have a few tracks that could be used for video games, so they should fit a youtube channel about games
Thanks for the reply! Brubeck was indeed an inspiration, haha.
I thought the drums might have been a bit loud as well, I'll definitely fix that.
I was going for more of a Jazzy-Ambient hybrid style with this track, so the heavily delayed synth bells with a hefty amount of reverb kind of fit that ambient style. It sounds better when combined with the low synth pad and synth strings that come later
I had the category as "Ambient: Lounge" but the reviewer changed it to Jazz

Recently, a number of books have been published on beer, ranging from brewpub guides to cookbooks.
Here are the ones we found most useful:
Cooking with Beer
by Lucy Saunders
Our favorite of the beer cookbooks for newbies, this tome is down to earth, very readable and gives the proper amount of information without being overwhelming. Direct and concise, this book covers all the basics, using common-sense and thankfully avoiding too many do's and don'ts. Saunders' recipes are right on target as well. She avoids overtaxing the palate, keeping flavors and ingredients manageable yet creatively refreshing. The right book to have when you want to go into the kitchen and just whip something up. A valuable cook's resource, we refer to it often. (Time-Life Books, 1996, $12.95, paperback)
Famous Chefs and Other Characters Cook with Beer
by W. Scott Griffiths and Christopher Finch
Loretta Hwong, Food Editor
W. Scott Griffiths owns Rhino Chasers ales and beers. Christopher Finch is a beer expert, columnist and author. Together they gathered beer recipes from chefs, cookbook writers, a few celebrities and a handful of "others" and published them in Famous Chefs. Loretta-Hwong Griffiths adds the culinary know-how. While the recipes mostly favor the Rhino Chasers products, the book includes one of its most useful and very best features: a Substitution Chart, listing styles, brands and cooking properties. This chart takes the confusion out of buying beer as an ingredient. The recipes are generally more exotic than those of Cooking with Beer. However, star chefs like Andre Soltner, Michael Roberts, and Nobu Matsuhisa reflect their greatness by keeping the elements simple and dignified, balancing flavors rather than creating competition. (Doubleday, 1996, $25 hardcover)
Real Beer and Good Eats
Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly
Sausage maker Aidells and food writer Kelly team up in their second book together, taking an historic look at beer in America. I am reminded of the commercial in which football players chant "Eat football, live football, drink Coca-Cola!" This is a tome for total immersion into beer as a way of life. with chapters on Early America, the Lager Revolution, Old-Time Saloons, and sections tackling beer by US region, this book is a detailed, illustrated account of beer and beer lore in this nation. The 175 recipes supplement each chapter accordingly. While it is indeed thorough on the overall topic of beer, and it does contain a chapter on cooking with beer, this book is less useful to the newbie looking for easy to assimilate, practical lessons in cooking with beer. But it's great for those who like an entertaining read. (Knopf, 1996, $18, paperback)

This should be called the 88 Neutral but that is probably not helpful to those looking at reviews b4 buying. What I can tell you is every brown, beige, & cream shade on the spectrum is represented here. The pans are the size of dimes basically & when people are speaking of "fall out" they are strictly referring to the excess dust the shadow may create under ur eye/face not the pans (pans not "pots") depotting themselves spontaneously or somehow becoming detached from the palette itself. :) I reach for my BH Cosmetics palettes just as much as CS & indeed they are very similar in quality. My first "real" palette was the CS 88 Shimmer. I had a bunch of quads & a compact that had different cartridges but as for real, live big eyeshadow palettes it was Coastal Scents. I replaced it w the BH 88 Shimmer when I got keratitis of the eye but u can't go wrong w this palette. If 88 colors seem intimidating try watching some you tubers wearing it. I haven't hit pan on it yet & I've owned it for approx a cpl years. It was pretty intense & terrifying opening these palettes & having 88 colors like now wth am I going to do but I try not to wear more than 3 colors at once. Just find urself the perfect nude lip that lends itself to your new palette & ur all set!

100% live by this palette. Some of the colours aren't very dense so you need to build them up a little, but this is probably the best �20 I've ever bought. I use it near-enough everyday and there is hardly a dent in the shadows. I'd use a little primer though as mine tended to crease and move slightly. It's definitely worth the money though!

The colour selection in this palette is absolutely phenominal! There is a huge variety of shades, as well as several matte and shimmery shadows. The colours are almost all universally flattering, and they blend very well. Though I found the colour payoff in these shadows isn't the greatest, and they feel the slightest bit chalky. Wetting your eye-shadow brush seems to work well and helps to solve that problem.
The pallette normally runs for around $20, which in my opinion, is a bit too expensive. But thankfully, the manufacturer's website is frequently running sales through the year, so it isn't hard to find the pallette for $10-15, sometimes even less.

I got this palette for $8 and just couldn't pass that offer. There are many whites and peaches. Some of the colors are very similar. They're okay pigmentation. The matte colors sucked, they were very chalky and streaky. However, the shimmer shadows were GORGEOUS! They were very pigmented and could compare to higher end shadows. The product is actually a lot smaller than you would think. About the size of an iPad and the shadows are the size of a dime. Overall, $8 was a score. But I wouldn't pay the regular price for this. You probably won't use all the colors either.

Holy Pigmentation, Batman! The shadows are richly pigmented and I love this palette. I have seen that some of the palettes in other reviews are not very pigmented. I am not sure if they have changed the formula with mine. I recently took this on a trip and loved it. I didn't have any eyeliner, but used the black shadow wet and was able to line my eyes. There are enough colors to do a lot of different looks. I would buy this again, if I ever run out of multiple colors as long as they do not change the formula or price.

Woooow, I have to use a super light hand with this. I didn't expect it to be so pigmented so when I used it for the first time, I got way more colour than I wanted. I don't think I need to buy any more eyeshadow (but knowing me, I will) since this will last forever. My ONLY gripe is that it's kind of powdery when you dip your brush in but I guess that's the trade-off for having super soft shadows.
I'm going to purchase other palettes, I hope they're as good as this one!

So I have to admit I reach for this palette the most out of ALLLLL my eye shadows... I own MAC, UD, Too Faced, Lorac and a lot more but this one is by far my favorite.
The colors are universal for day and night and all skin tones I feel.
I broke mine in a frenzy to get ready for work on day so I need to reorder it!! But I got it for less than 10 dollars and I just can't quivel the quality.
Very buttery in my opinion, but a little too soft they kinda appear chalky... its strange.
I highly recommend anyway!

I love this palette! The pigmentation is amazing for the price. With an eyeshadow primer and cream eyeshadow, they have great staying power as well. They go on soft. There is such an amazing variety from browbone highlights to crease colors. The palette has a lot of shimmers but there are still plenty of mattes. The only thing I have against this palette is the packaging. It is hideous and not very sturdy. Overall, the palette is so worth it especially if you are on a budget, are new to make-up, or just want to add some nice neutral eyeshadows to your collection. There are so many possible day and night looks but I must say it is my go-to daytime palette.

I have to admit I haven't really touched this palette in a long time, because I got quite a few new make up products that I love since then.
Anyway, the last two days, I decided to pull out all my poor neglected make up sets to give them a go.
And, dare I say it, I realise I actually prefer this to my urban decay naked palette. Weirdly, this palette still works well on me even after having it for 2 years, the colour payoff and everything is still there. They go on perfectly for me and I don't get fall out of any kind.
Whereas my naked palette has totally died on me. All the shadows are really hard now and pretty much can't be used at all. I can't even get the tinest bit of colour out of them despite pressing my brush down hard and swiping a few times.
Back to coastal scents shadows for me I guess. :)

Increasing vaccination clinics at polling places and establishing Vote and Vaccinate as a routine, predictable public health practice
Vote & Vax is an intuitive approach to increasing flu vaccination rates by reaching out to captive and needing audiences during a critical period of flu season. This program is an innovative collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and SPARC (Sickness Prevention Achieved through Regional Collaboration), a New England nonprofit agency dedicated to developing innovative approaches to delivering disease prevention services. Since its first multi-state program in 2004, Vote & Vax has helped provide thousands of influenza vaccinations to at-risk Americans. The program held 127 successful clinics at polling sites in 2006, immunizing large numbers of Americans who would not otherwise have been reached. Recognizing that 125 million people vote in national elections, the founders of Vote & Vax identified the opportunity to safely and conveniently provide flu vaccinations on Election Day. Working with local public health providers to assist them in launching vaccination clinics at polling places across the country, Vote& Vax has introduced a new way to reach Americans in need of this service. Influenza affects 1 in 5 Americans and is responsible for 35,000 deaths annually. The prospect of reaching the most vulnerable populations in a new environment is an innovative approach, and for both providers and recipients, a healthy investment.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – It was a bit more of a test than the last time these two teams squared off, but the result was still the same as the Saint Leo baseball team defeated American International College 7-5 in non-conference action on Monday evening from Thomas B. Southard Stadium.
Two days removed from the 29-8 marathon win over the Yellow Jackets (1-3), the Lions changed their lineup, allowing some of their reserves to see a full game of action. With only their regularly starting shortstop Ryan Powers in the infield for the game, the Lions had a different look around the horn, but Powers would pick up the slack with a good night at the plate.
The junior would continue with the hot bat as he took the first pitch he saw in the fourth inning and hammered it deep over the left-field wall for a two-spot to even the game.
Powers' homer answered two early runs from the visitors as an error to lead off the top of the third inning resulted in two runs for AIC. The error, in addition to three hits in the innings, allowed American International to score first and put the Lions in a two-run hole.
His homer also broke the seal on the SLU offense as Saint Leo (9-11) scored runs in three consecutive innings, taking a 7-3 lead into the late innings.
Once starting pitcher Aaron Brandt, who tossed 110 pitches in his outing, surrendered pitching duties to his bullpen, his relievers made the game more interesting as AIC scored a run in each of the final two innings.
With the score at 7-5 in Saint Leo's favor, AIC saw a two-on, two-out situation in the bottom of the ninth met with SLU closer Austin Buck, who struck out Paul Maza to seal the fifth-straight win for the Lions.
Brandt (2-1) picked up the win, tossing seven innings and only allowing one earned run as he fanned five Yellow Jacket hitters.
Powers went 3-for-4 with the home run and three RBI as he improved his team-best batting average to .434 on the season.
The Yellow Jackets' Dan Bassani homered to left-center in the sixth as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
The Lions will conclude the stretch of four games in four days with a non-conference tilt with Eckerd College on Tuesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at Thomas B. Southard Stadium on the Saint Leo campus.
