White Sands NM (SPX) Dec 12, 2012
NASA will launch an astrophysics mission to study the Diffuse X-ray emission from the Local galaxy (DXL) December 9 from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The
goal of this flight is to identify how much of that diffuse x-ray emission comes from our solar system from the solar wind charge exchange process, and how much comes from outside our solar system from hot interstellar plasmas located in interstellar space.
The payload incorporates an upgraded University of Wisconsin Aerobee IV instrument (flown on several Aerobee IV rockets from 1973 through 1980) and a prototype wide field-of-view soft x-ray camera.
The secondary payload STORM is the first wide field-of-view, solar wind charge exchange, soft X-ray imager for heliophysics applications.
The instrument uses a new soft X-ray focusing technology called micropore reflectors (lobster-eye optics) which will fly for the first time on the sounding rocket instrument. Storm was built at Goddard Space Flight Center through the IRAD program.
The payload is scheduled to be launched at 10 p.m. MST, December 9 (0700 GMT, December 10), on a NASA Black Brant IX sounding rocket. The 55-foot tall rocket is projected to carry the payload to an altitude of 160 miles. The payload, weighing nearly 1,357 pounds, will be recovered.
The principal investigator for this mission is Massimiliano Galeazzi from the University of Miami.

In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, promotional cards are typically rarer than cards found in Expansion sets. Some promotional cards are rarer than others, depending on what promotion they were released through. Nintendo, since their occupation of the TCG, have released a more diverse range of cards compared to Wizards of the Coast, having promotional cards for more affiliated events and producing promotional sets such as the POP series.
In the card lists categorized here, each of the cards are designated "--", as they all have "promotional rarity". In the cases of holographic or reverse-holographic cards, they are indicated in brackets.

Ali Fedotowsky
Making the most of their evening, Kaley Cuoco and Ali Fedotowsky enjoyed the afterparty for the "Blue Jasmine" premiere in Beverly Hills last night (July 24).
The newly-single "Big Bang Theory" babe hammed it up for the shutterbugs in a gorgeous Zimmerman ensemble teamed with Manolo Blahnik heels and a Jimmy Choo clutch.
It's the pinnacle of pageantry each year, and last night (June 3) Miss Rhode Island Olivia Culpo was crowned as 2012 Miss USA.
Miss Culpo, a self-described 'modern-day Audrey Hepburn,' was visibly shocked when her name was called, though she contained her excitement rather well as she took it all in.
Judges for the Miss USA 2012 pageant have been announced and joining the panel is Joe Jonas, Rob Kardashian, Season 6 "Bachelorette" Ali Fedotowsky and "Fashion Police" host George Kotsiopoulos.
The celebrities are expected to join five other stars to judge the 61st annual pageant beauty pageant which is hosted by Andy Cohen and Giuliana Rancic at Planet Hollywood's Theater for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Celebrities love a good soiree, and last night (April 18) there was plenty of eye candy at the 2012 Us Magazine Hot Hollywood party.
E! Reality starlet Kim Kardashian showed up at Greystone Manor in Los Angeles sporting a strapless silver textured cocktail dress teamed with a pair of hot pink high heels.
She's always up to something, and this morning (April 12) Ali Fedotowsky was spotted at "FOX & Friends" studios in New York City.
The former "Bachelorette" babe was all smiles as she strolled past the paparazzi in a springy green dress with a white blazer.
Looking to be adapting to single life quite well, Ali Fedotowsky was spotted partying it up in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico over the weekend.
The one-time "Bachelorette" contestant waltzed around in a two-piece swimsuit while enjoying the care-free south of the border living along with the attention she was receiving from a gaggle of male fans.
Pulling the plug on their television-sprung romance, Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez have confirmed that their engagement is off.
A rep for the former "Bachelorette" couple told People, "Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez have ended their relationship. As they go through this difficult time, we ask that you respect the couple's privacy."
Taking an unexpected spill into the river below, Ali Fedotowsky was taken to the hospital after a weekend (April 17) kayaking accident with fiance Roberto Martinez in La Jolla, CA.
The former "Bachelorette" star's rep told press, "Ali and Roberto had a little mishap when their kayak capsized this weekend. Ali was taken to the hospital and had 5 staples put in her head," adding that, "Roberto was fantastic-- he kept her calm and took great care of her. She is doing fine, and actually off to work this morning."
Making quite the name for herself since her time as "The Bachelorette," Ali Fedotowsky will be a face on a new talk show on the Style Network.
The 26-year-old former Facebook employee will join co-hosts Adrianne Curry, Vivica A. Fox and style expert Nick Verreos for Styles' new half-hour series.
She's always up for a good time, and last night (March 2) Audrina Patridge was spotted at the Badgley Mischka flagship store opening in Beverly Hills.
The former "Hills" hottie looked snazzy in a champagne-colored dress as she posed outside the Rodeo Drive shindig.

Does Scientology believe one can exist outside the body?
April 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Before entering Scientology many people experience the feeling of looking down on one's body, but they do not understand what is happening. Once they have achieved greater spiritual awareness through Scientology auditing and training they find that this experience becomes nothing out of the ordinary. In Scientology, this phenomenon is calledexteriorization—the detachment of one's spirit from the body while yet fully conscious and aware. Scientology believes that Man is not his body, his mind or h … [Read more...]

Amazon Cloud Player launches on iPhone
It's been a long time coming but today Amazon has finally rolled out its Cloud Player app for iPhone and iPod touch devices, allowing U.S. users to stream and download their music stored with Amazon on their iOS device.
Amazon Cloud Player is a digital vault for digital music that doesn't just offer more than 20 million songs and over a million albums across different formats from its retail stores, it also allows the uploading of full music libraries.
Similar to Google Music, it's an all-in-solution for those who want to buy, save and store tracks from new or existing sources.
By launching on the iPhone and iPod touch (also available on Android and Kindle Fire), Amazon now brings its service to millions of iOS device owners offering what it calls the most "widely compatible cloud playback solution available."
Cloud Player music libraries are synced with a user's device, also allowing for the addition of playlists. However, because Apple insists on leveraging a 30% cut on all in-app purchases, you won't be able to buy new music via the Cloud Player app.
Coupled with the fact it offers 5GB of free storage when users upload their digital music library to Cloud Player, the company is specifically moving to engage Apple's iTunes Match and Google's Music app in terms of functionality and features.

Deportivo fourth after draw
Madrid: Champions League semi-finalists Deportivo La Coruna remained fourth in the Primera Liga after they were held to a 1-1 draw at Malaga on Saturday. The result left Deportivo a point behind Barcelona, who play Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on Sunday. Valencia are level with Real on 70 points, but lead the table with a better head-to-head record. Barca follow on 63 and Depor have 62.
Maradona making slow progress
Buenos Aires: Diego Maradona, who has been in intensive care for six days with heart problems and pneumonia, was stable on Saturday and progress is likely to be "slow and laborious", a hospital statement said. Maradona was put back on an artificial respirator on Friday - hours after being taken off - but it was not clear whether he was still having to use it on Saturday. The statement, issued by the Swiss-Argentine clinic, said there had not been any complication in the overall condition of the 43-year-old former Argentina captain, who was rushed to hospital last Sunday in a serious condition with a swollen heart and breathing difficulties.
Rangers held by Dundee
Glasgow: Trinidad and Tobago striker Jason Scotland scored twice in the second half to earn Dundee United a 3-3 draw in the Scottish Premier League match with Rangers at Tannadice on Saturday. Rangers have already lost the title to champions Celtic, who they trail by 15 points with four games to play, and could not even avenge their 2-0 defeat at United in February. Bottom side Partick Thistle lost 1-0 at home to Dundee and are relegated, while rivals for the drop Kilmarnock beat Hibernian 2-0 to ensure staying up. Scottish Cup finalists Dunfermline Athletic beat Motherwell 3-0, while Livingston overcame Aberdeen 2-0 at home. Celtic, who face Dunfermline in the cup final on May 22, travel to Hearts on Sunday.
Porto take championship
Lisbon: Porto were crowned Portuguese champions for the 19th time without kicking a ball after second-placed Sporting's 1-0 defeat at Uniao Leiria on Saturday ended their title challenge with two games left. Champions League semi-finalists Porto have an unassailable six-point lead since they have a better head-to-head record over Sporting and Benfica, who can only equal them on points.
Old Trafford security breach
London: Tight security at a Manchester United Premier League match against Liverpool on Saturday was breached by undercover investigators, exposing the potential for a terrorist attack, a British newspaper reported. The People tabloid said two of its staff posed as stewards at Old Trafford and gained access to almost all parts of the packed stadium, including areas close to managers Alex Ferguson and Gerard Houllier. The incident followed reports last week that British police had foiled a plot to bomb a soccer stadium after the arrest of 10 terror suspects. The paper said two of its staff were taken on as stewards after joining a queue of employees outside the stadium and providing false names to a security firm.
Lyon take top spot
Paris: Olympique Lyon moved four points clear at the top of Ligue 1 on Saturday as they crushed 10-man Rennes 3-0 while Monaco slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Nantes. Lyon now have 69 points from 33 matches with five games left; Champions League semi-finalists Monaco have been first or second since the start of the season but could drop to third if Paris St Germain beat Olympique Marseille at home on Sunday.
Ajax celebrations on hold
Amsterdam: PSV Eindhoven postponed Ajax Amsterdam's title celebrations for at least a week with a 3-0 win at RBC Roosendaal in the first division on Saturday. Ajax, who travel to NEC Nijmegen on Sunday, stayed on top with 70 points, five ahead of PSV who have three matches remaining. Cup finalists Twente Enschede beat Willem II Tilburg 2-0.

I've been reading some posts, and am finding what I think is conflicting information. I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me. I'll be installing a LL Pioneer in my finished basement soon, and was thinking of putting some registers in the ceiling of my basement up to the first floor of my house to circulate the heat. However, I read in this post Stove In Basement-Bulkhead Tips? that cutting holes in the ceiling/floor is a violation of fire code.
However, I read in this post Heat Circulation with Diagram some suggestions about adding additional floor registers from the basement to the first floor to help circulate the heat.
So, is it OK to install the registers or not?

Lottery systems most certainly are need to increase your lotto odds, but finding a true reputable system can be tough. Lottery systems are actually easy to find but the ones that truly work to win lottery games are very rare. I will teach you how to avoid the bad systems and teach you how to locate a good lotto system.
Here are some facts that are usually a good indication whether or not a lottery system is going to be helpful or just some cheap scam or silly nonsense. Let's cover all the points here:
- Does the lottery system state a ridiculous win rate? Any lotto system claiming a win rate higher than 40% is a lie! There is no lottery system in the world that can give a win rate higher than 40% and that is a fact! Only systems trying to lure you in will state high ridiculous win rates and is a very clear sign to avoid. About 75% of the systems being sold fall into this category.
- Is the lottery system offering a Guaranteed 60 Day Refund? Think about this for a second, how can a gambling product offer a refunds like this, they would sell nothing, everyone would get a refund. This is a very common tactic used by shady lottery system sellers. 90% of the time you will not get a refund, do not fall for these misleading sales tactics. Real lottery systems are gambling tools which would never give you a 60 day refund, do you by a lottery ticket and get a 60 day refund? It is the same idea, gambling is just that, gambling No Guareantees.
- Is the Lottery system a past drawn number system? Also know as lottery software systems, lottery prediction systems, lottery analysis systems etc These are your very common, very basic lotto systems that all just give you hot and cold lottery numbers. These systems all get there information from lottery statistic websites for free!, the exact same as you can do, so why pay for free material. Most lottery systems fall into this category and really are not even systems, just info you use in a real lottery system.
- Does the system use a silly, quite common scenario as, system developed by a Math Professor or a secret lottery code was found, or something like this? Usually 9 out of 10 times this is a selling lie or tactic to draw your attention and is a big rad flag saying BEWARE!
The truth is there are only a few real reputable lottery systems, out of about 50 systems on the market that actually work to win the lottery. We recommend ONLY two systems that have lottery winning track records the world over and are not stupid made up systems sold by shady Marketers looking for a fast buck. The Lotto Guy Lottery System is a real University developed tested and proven system, it even won best lottery system in 2012 by poll votes. The next recommended system is a totally different system from the Lotto Guy System, it is a top rated lottery wheeling system called Smart Play Lotto Wheels, that is widely known for winning lotto games. These two systems have been tested by many and all have great real lottery winning success rates worldwide! Before trying any system, one of these or both of these systems is your smart choice in trying to win the lottery.
Seriously, you could waste thousands trying every lottery system before finding the ones that are actually winning lottery games as, Florida Lotto, Florida Powerball, Powerball, Mega Millions, Texas Lotto, California Lottery, Ohio Lottery, Georgia Lottery, Iowa Lottery, Virginia Lottery, Lotto Max, Lotto 649, South African Lotteries, UK Lotto, Australian Lotteries, and so on. Do it right the first time and learn from my mistakes and many others and you will have much better success at winning the lottery!

This is a small pot of lip balm that is made by a company called I Love. The flavour and fragrance is Strawberry & Milkshake and I think there are others available also.
I have been using this lip balm for many weeks after I bought it cheap in Superdrug because it had been reduced and I liked the sound of a lip balm that tasted like milkshake.
I think this lip balm is very pleasing but it does not moisturise my lips very good and there is not very much of a strawberry taste.
The lip balm is in a pot so I use a cotton bud to remove some to put onto my lips. When I have taken some out I use my finger to rub it in and it is very fast to rub into my lips.
It does taste like strawberry milkshake and I like that but I think it would be better if the taste was stronger because it disappears after very short times.
I like to use this but have to use it many times every day for it to make my lips moisturised so the pot has not lasted for as long as I would like it to.
I paid £1 only for this lip balm and that is ok but the full price is £2.99 and I think that is too much because it is nice but it is not doing a very effective job.
3 Dooyoo Hearts.
I am a self-confessed lip balm addict. I have so many that I wouldn't even begin to count them and impulse buys are usually my reason for adding to the collection. However, I recently read a review on this product, and on seeing the cheap price and the positive comments I decided to buy it when I saw it in my local Superdrug.
The Product & Effects : The lip balm comes in a small clear pot, which is quite deep and has a round black lid. The product name is quite clearly printed on the top of the lid in white font. This lip balm retails for around £1. I think this is very good value as I have used it a fair few times now and I haven't even made a dent on the surface. The thing that first attracted me to this product is the colour of the balm. It is a gorgeous baby pink and when applied to my lips, although it doesn't give a strong colour, it leaves a hint of pink and a dewy shine. The balm itself is quite a firm texture, not at all greasy like Vaseline, but does just as good a job, if better. When I have used this, my lips feel nourished and soft. Even during the winter months I'm confident that this would be a winner.
Disadvantages : Although I don't like Vaseline very much, the one thing I do like about it is the fact that it has no taste while I am wearing it. This lip balm smells really lovely and sweet, strawberry scented, but I hate the taste of it. Even when I'm drinking from a glass I can taste the bitter lipgloss. Its an almost soapy taste, which does put me off wearing it sometimes.
Overall, I think that for the price, it is a good quality balm. It has good moisturising effects and makes my lips look shiny and fresh.
I ordered some bits and pieces from Superdrug online just before Christmas, when I received my parcel I found a couple of different 'I love...' lip balms inside, I didn't order any so it was a nice surprise.
One of the lip balms was this strawberry and milkshake flavoured one. It comes in a transparent pot so you can see exactly how much you have left. To open it you simply have to unscrew the black lid, this is easy to do. The lip balm is a gorgeous pale pink colour, it looks pretty and girly sitting in the pot, that's why I like how the packaging is transparent.
The balm itself has a waxy consistency to it, it's quite thick so does require quite a lot of rubbing of your finger onto the waxy substance to try and get some on your finger. There isn't much of a scent to this lip balm, but when it's on your lips there is a hint of a strawberry type taste, it's quite rich tasting but nowhere near as strong as I would have liked. I love strong tasting lip balms but this was simply just a small hint of flavour, not the full on strawberry taste I expected.
The lip balm feels ok on my lips after I have applied it and gives it a glossy look. However, this look doesn't last for long and a top up is required quite often, every hour at least. In regards to helping soothe dry skin, I wouldn't say this helps in the slightest, it sort of only masks the lips instead of healing poor lips.
This I love... strawberry milkshake lip balm is available to buy from Superdug, there are a few different flavours available and cost around 99p for a 15g pot of lip balm.
I wouldn't recommend this lip balm, it's difficult to get out of the pot, doesn't smell of anything and the taste is too mild for my liking. The only good thing about this lip balm is the price.
I love ...
This review is for a little bargain pot of lip balm that I picked up in Superdrug recently. It is part of the "I love..." range which includes shower gels and body butters in fun, fruity fragrances.
As well as the Strawberries and Milkshake version I am reviewing here this lip balm also comes in a Raspberry and Blackberry format. It costs just 99p for a 15ml pot.
According to the Superdrug website, this product will leave lips "feeling soft, moisturised and ultimately kissable".
A creamy balm
This balm is very simply packaged in a see through pot with a black screwtop lid. It doesn't look expensive or luxurious, but it is still quite nice to look at.
Inside you can see the balm is a very pigmented looking, deep pink shade. The balm itself has a thick and creamy, almost waxy consistency - it is much thicker than I had expected and feels like good quality for the low price. It also has a lovely fruity fragrance, smelling strongly of strawberries. I like the smell of this but I can imagine some people may find the scent a bit too sickly sweet.
This is very easy to apply to the lips and it feels like it gives the lip a good hit of moisture with its creamy texture. What is also nice is that this gives lips a lovely sheen with a very subtle hint of colour - perfect for me as I prefer gloss over too much colour. You can taste a slight hint of fruit too which isn't unpleasant at all - and in fact lingers a while after application.
The one slightly negative thing I would say about this product is that it doesn't have amazing staying power - however for the price this isn't a massive problem for me.
In summary ...
Overall I find it hard to fault this product. For such a low price it's really good quality, with a lovely rich and creamy texture. It has a pleasant scent and flavour and best of all for me is the very slight hint of colour it gives to the lips leaving them looking healthy and pretty. So five stars from me, and I would definitely buy this again - and plan to check out the other version too.
I bought this lip balm from Morrisons. It was priced at just one pound so I decided to try it.
The size of the tub is 15ml, however it looks loads bigger. You get plenty of the lip balm for the price. The colour of the lip balm is what I would describe as a cotton candy pink colour. The smell is divine! The lip balms smells of strawberries with a hint of vanilla cream. The smell really is to die for.
The balm is easy to apply and it can be applied as needed. It doesn't feel waxy, it feels nice and soft instead. It leaves my lips feeling soft, smooth and supple. The balm is quite moisturising too. It's an ideal lip balm for sore and/ or chapped lips as it provides a protective barrier that helps to shield your lips against the elements.
The balm does need to be re applied after drinking but it doesn't need to be re applied after eating as it does remain on the lips. If you drink through a straw you wouldn't need to apply it again after drinking. The balm is easy to remove, if you need to remove it for any reason. It simply wipes off with a clean tissue.
I find that this lip balm does work but it's not the most natural of lip balms. It does contain Petroleum Jelly that can dry your lips out after continuous use. However, it is a bargain and it does the job.
Why pay more? Unless you want something more natural...
What can I say? This flavour is truly gorgeous, and I bet it would appeal to loads of people.
I bought this product on a whim a few years ago. I found it in Superdrug for 99p or there abouts (I'm not sure what other stores stock this brand). I had previously never heard of 'I love' products before, but I liked the sounds of the flavour so I thought I would give it a shot.
It comes in a basic pot (I think I would have preferred this if it came in a stick). I really do like the cute little love heart design on the front. It's simple but it works very well. You get 15ml product in the tub, which is actually a fair bit. This is one of the main reasons I got this - I couldn't believe how much you got for such a small price!
The flavour of this balm is completely gorgeous. I love sweet things, and this really does it for me. It's a classic strawberry milkshake scent - really girly! It leaves a slight pink sheen on the lips which I think looks fairly pretty, it has a fairly glossy look to it.
I'm not sure how moisturising this really is to be honest! It does feel nice on the lips when its first applied, but I wouldn't suggest this as a balm if you have really chapped lips. I think this makes a decent everyday lip balm if your lips are in fairly good condition to begin with.
I found this in Superdrug for 99p. I needed to spend a few pence extra to make my total spend to the £10 minimum to qualify me for a discount. As my discount was 25%, it was worth trying this 99p product.

I was delighted with my bargain buy. This is why.
It protects my lips just as well as its famous rival Vaseline Lip Therapy.
It gives my lips a light glossy tint.
It has a delicate, pleasant smell and taste as its name Strawberries and Milkshake suggests.
This 15 ml pot has lasted me all winter, with still plenty left.
It is small enough to fit easily into my handbag.
It comes in a lightweight plastic jar.
In the severest of weathers I need to use a good basic moisturiser underneath it, but this is true of any other lip balms I have tried, including those that cost considerably more.
This is the best value for money lip balm that I have found (cost versus quality). The only one that I have found protects very dry and easily irritated lips slightly better is The Body Shop Aloe Lip Treatment, which is priced at £5. This Body Shop product does not have any fragrance or colour, which is good for some, but not others.
The only disadvantage that I can think of is that, like many other lip treatments, you need a clean finger to apply it appropriately and hygienically.
I Love Strawberry and Milkshake Lip Balm protects my lips, while giving them a light glossy tint, and is great value for money at 99p for a 15 ml jar (from Superdrug) which lasts me at least 4 months.
I originally came across this lip balm around 2 years ago, it was priced in the shop Ethel Austin for £1.
I remember liking the title of the lip balm and also that it came in a tub which was of a good size compared to others on the market - it actually had quite a generous amount in it for £1!. The tub is a 15ml one.
I remember loving it at the time, maybe because it was so reasonably priced and something new to try. I used it quite a few times and got through a little bit but then lost the tub.. (as I have done a few times with lip balms). I'd forgotten all about it until a few weeks ago, I popped into Superdrug and saw it now being sold there and still priced at £1 - so I decided to purchase it again.
The lip balm looks exactly as the picture above. It comes in a little tub with a black lid showing the product name with 3 little white hearts, which is quite girly and feminine. To open the tub you just unscrew the lid. The lid has two heart stickers on each side so you can tell if the balm has been opened before as it tears when you unscrew the lid.
Once the lid is off, it reveals inside it a pinky lip balm. When you are first applying it, its quite hard and you have to rub your finger in quite a bit to be able to get it out properly.. afterwards it's fine though and easily applied. It has a nice scent to it which is quite noticable as soon as you undo the lid. It actually is strawberry and milkshake-ish and I do like the scent.
The tub is also clear so you can see when the lip balm goes down, but to be fair.. it will last absolutely ages!. Now, I know I loved this product the first time I tried it.. but coming back to it now i've found I don't prefer it as much. Even though the scent is lovely, I found the lip balm doesn't feel as nice on my lips compared to the chapstick apple/watermelon lip balms i've started buying.. and I can really notice it now. It feels a lot thicker when applied and it leaves a not very nice taste on your lips after a while.
I now only apply this lip balm in the evening and don't carry it around with me. I prefer not having to dig my finger into it as it does leave my finger with a greasy feel afterwards - and therefore I go with lip balms with a screw up ability to carry on the go. However when applying this it really does make your lips softer and does work as a lip balm. It's also glossy but not too much, it gives your lips a little tint.
For a pound I do think it is quite a good lip balm, and if I hadn't come across others that I now prefer over this - I probably still would have liked it.. but although it's good value for money.. I think quality-wise there are better lip balms available. I give this lip balm 3 stars overall, as i'm not sure whether I would buy it again or not. As glossy lip balms go it does soften your lips and give a nice glossy tint - but after a while you may get sick of it.. and i'd rather keep it for just in the house rather than carrying it in my bag.
A quick look on the I love cosmetics website tells me their range can be found in Superdrug, Morrisons and Co-Op. I've never tried any of the I love range products apart from this.. but they do look really nice so I will keep my eye out for other items in their range.. and as the I love Strawberries and Milkshake smells so nice - it may be good to try some of their other stuff.
I purchased this from Ethel Austin last year but it is availible from Superdrug and Morrison Stores.
I love... is well known for all the scents that are availible and the flavour of products, such as Coconut & Cream and Vanilla & Ice Cream.
This lip balm retails for £.0.99 -£1.50 and can also be found in part of a I love... set.
The balm is packaged in a 15 ml transparent pot with an opaque black lid. If you used this lip balm regularly that it would last up to 3 months.
This lipbalm really smells of Strawberry Milkshake and the scent, nlike other brands, was not lost as more and more product is used. I owned this for 12 months and the scent was as strong at the end of the year as it was near the start.
When I first owned the lip balm the consistency was thick and hard to get product to apply, as I had left it in the sun, the consistency changed permanenntly and was a lot softer and easier to apply to the lips but also more sticky and messy.
The colour isn't that pigmented and gives more of a sheer light pink glaze to your lips. There wasn't a huge amount of 'gloss' but your lips do look shiny and moisturised.
The colour, for me, lasts for 30-40 minutes and the moistur lasting for just over an hour.
This lip balm I would only recommend if you lips are already moisturised in need of a hint of colour, as it isn't moisturising enough to help with dryer lips.
These little 'I love...' lip balms are available from superdrug and are adorable! They're really girly and are a bargain at just 99p per pot. There are numerous flavours available, and the one i am reviewing is the Strawberries & Milkshake one.
The balm comes in a pretty basic, bog standard 15ml pot which reminds me the Barry M dazzle dust pots. It is transparent, and as the lip balm is pink the pot looks to be pink until it starts running out, then it's half pink and half transparent. The lid is black and twists off easily. On top of the lid, in white writing it says the product name. On the bottom of the pot it has the barcode which says next to it 'Peel' when peeled off it shows the ingredients of the product which i will not list as i am aware many people are not interested in the ingredients, but it is quite a lengthy list! I am pretty certian this will never be mistaken as an organic lip balm with the chemical sounding names listed!
Once open, the smell jumps out straight away. I can't put my finger on it but in my opinion it's not very 'strawberries and milkshake' and more a fake, overlly sweet smell with hint of an unpleasent smell to it which i would describe as smelling like dirt. The balm is full to the brim which is good as some brands to attempt to be rip offs and only fill it half way! The balm has a waxy, shiny appearence and is smooth in texture.
It's a nice shade of bright pink. Getting the balm onto my finger is annoying as i have to dig my finger into it (with some force!), as if i just glide my finger across it doesn't pick up any of the balm. Once it is on my finger tip it's a very glossy baby pink shade and it melts within seconds. On the lips it leaves a glossy finish with a prominant tint of baby pink. For a balm it is well pigmented but is buildable. The glossy finish is really nice in my opinion and makes the lips appear moist, but it does have a slight metallic look if too much is applied.
The smell doesn't last for very long once it has been applied, and top ups are neccessary around every half an hour as it doesn't stay in place very well. If you have dry lips i would not reccomend this as it seems to exaggurate them unfortunetly. This is not a moisturising balm and is purely for cosmetic purposes. I am not keen on it to be honest but for the price it's a decent product. I've used this for a base for my blush once or twice and it worked nicely once the shine was under control.
Overall, something most girls (if you're anything like me) will find hard to resist upon seeing it, and the price is very appealing. In the long run it isn't brilliant - it's more of a novelty then anything, but it's useable.
Ok so I was in desperate need of a new lip balm as I (being myself) lost my vaseline :( So when I saw this in Superdrug for only 99p I picked it up as it looked cute and girly. And I love strawberries and the scent and milkshake so I had high hopes for this. I was also drawn to it becasue it was pink :) I am sick of using clear lip balms and wanting to have a change
The packaging is small a compact however it is a little bigger than an average sized lip balm but you do get more product and it is small enough to fit in a purse. You get 15ml of product in the tub. It has a simple black lid that has 'I love strawberries and milkshake' written on it which gives you a hint that the smell is going to be very strawberry like!
The libalm isn't solid when you get it it is quite soft and sticky so you only need a little dab of the stuff for the whole of your lips. I think it is a bit too light for my lips as it is kind of a tinted lip balm so If you have dark lips like me I wouldnt really recommend it as It makes your lips seem unatrually light if you put too much on
The smell is very sweet and extremely strong. I felt it was too sickly sweet for me. I mean I like it alot but I dont wear it all the time anymore as I have became sick of the smell! You get alot of product in the tub so it is bound to last you ages.
Overall a good lipbalm but not one of my favourites. I'm sure some people will absolutely love it though. I give it 4/5
I was looking around for little stocking fillers and cute presents before Christmas. For a group of my friends I gather lots of little cute bits which catch my eye and divide them into little packages nearer the time. I bought a few little kitsch bits from Fenwicks the department store, including this lipgloss, I love...Strawberries and milkshake. It wasn't from a brand I have ever heard of before, but it is packaged like Soap and Glory and Benefit products, in a young cool and funky way. It only cost 99p which I thought was a bargain price, compared to some places like the body shop which charge £5 for a lip butter.
A few weeks before I was due to give this to someone, I got desperate for a lip balm in the house and couldn't find my usual vaseline. I opened this in desperation and used it, knowing I would have to replace it with another present from my stash (this isn't too much of a problem seeing as I am a shop-a-holic).
As soon as I opened this the gorgeous smell hit me. It was so sweet and creamy, a really retro smell that takes you back to idillic childhood days. It was not too sickly, even though it was so strong. It made me instantly addicted to topping it up on my lips, just so I could get some more of the scent, it really did smell good enough to eat!
I ended up making it through the tub in two weeks, and got a bit sick of the smell towards the end, just through over use. I have to admit, although addicted to the smell, I didn't find the product quite as good for long term softening of my lips as my usual tub of vaseline. That means I will probably have to stick to vaseline in the future, even though I'm being drawn to quench my new strawberry and milkshake addictions!
As you have probably gathered from my beauty reviews, I love buying beauty products. I can never seem to finish any though, as I buy a new product before the one I am currently using finishes. It's the same story with lip balms; I own quite an extensive range!
The Brand
I was introduced to the I love... brand through reviews on Ciao and Dooyoo. Their products sounded quite appealing so I thought I would look them up. I love... sells beauty products and has scrumptious sounding ranges comprising of blueberry & smoothie, mango & papaya, coconut & cream, raspberry & blackberry, strawberries & milkshake and vanilla & ice cream. Their website is http://www.ilovecosmetics.eu/ and here you can learn more about their products. I bought a tub of body butter from their strawberries & milkshake range previously and was quite pleased with it so when I spotted this lip balm in a Superdrug store while out shopping, I picked it up immediately. They do not test any finished product on animals and try to use ingredients which have never been tested on animals.
I brought this lip balm home and decided to replace my pink Vaseline tin with this. This lip balm comes in a little 15 ml pot with a black lid. The bottom of the pot is transparent and you can see the pink lip balm through it. "I love...strawberries & milkshake glossy lip balm" is printed on the lid in white. This lip balm is a little heavier than my other lip balms, but still quite compact so you can slip it into your bag if you like.
The Lip Balm
I wanted to try this as soon as I got home so I unscrewed the lid to first smell the product. It smelt exactly like the body butter, and I think strawberries and milkshake describes the smell perfectly! It smells sweet and fruity like strawberries, but strangely also like a milkshake (strawberry milkshakes are my favourite!). I rubbed my fingertip into the lip balm. It is quite thick and it took a fair amount of rubbing to get enough of the product on my finger to cover my lips. It rubbed onto my lips fairly easily though. It gave my lips a slightly glossy pink tinge. Since this is a lip balm and not a lip gloss, I wasn't expecting it to be too glossy and it wasn't. I think the gloss is just the right amount to wear on a day to day basis. It also made my lips feel quite moisturised. If I don't eat or drink the lip balm tends to last about 4-5 hours, which is fine because that is how long lip balms usually tend to last, and since it is light I can carry it around and reapply it throughout the day.
I'm quite pleased with this product because it looks very natural when worn and also leaves my lips quite soft. It's not as moisturising as Vaseline products, but my lips have not felt dry or chapped the entire time that I have been using this. I've been using this for a few weeks now and it looks like I've barely used any at all so I think this will last a long, long time. For those who like to lick or "eat" their lip balms, I'm sorry but I have no idea what this tastes like but it does smell good enough to eat!
Price and availability
I love... products can be found in Superdrug and Morrisons stores and can also be purchased on the Superdrug website. I bought this lip balm for 99p and I think that's a bargain for such a good product that will last ages. Unfortunately, I've only seen the strawberries & milkshake and raspberry lip balms stocked, but would love to try the others if I ever find them.
I do recommend this as it is a nice, basic lip balm that you can use on a day-to-day basis without breaking the bank. It looks nice worn and moisturizes my lips, and also smells lovely.

text: I didn't work today because of a really bad cold, the kind that's gross -- and that's all you need to know -- no further details provided. Suffice it to say my cough rivaled that of Walter White on Breaking Bad. I hate colds. It's frustrating when you feel one coming on and you can't stop it. So I took it easy and drank lotsa orange juice, Gatorade, and green tea. I watched old episodes of Breaking Bad that I recorded during the marathon and I watched a French movie named Mademoiselle Chambon. It's a brilliant film. The French always do such a great job making infidelity seem not so bad. I've never cheated on anyone, but if I ever did I think I would have to show my girl a French movie and say, "See, we're supposed to cheat." Okay, that probably wouldn't work. I'll just stick to never cheating. In any event, it's an excellent movie. Some of you know from other posts that I've been busy learning French as my 3rd language (German is my second). I was understanding quite a bit of the dialogue. I'm getting better. I'm convinced that annoying loss to the Chargers gave me this cold. Yeah, that's it. Losing makes me sick. Anyway, it was a good excuse to stay home and watch an American show about making big bucks by cooking meth and a French movie about a husband sneaking off and doing the pretty school teacher/violinist. Ha ha! As evidenced by the entertainment we like, who is more warped, we Americans or the French? I honestly can't say.

Product Information
Our Casual Canine® Camo Dog Hoodies are authentic cozy wear with a unique statement of individual pet style.
Why We Love It:
Dogs will really dig this camo hooded sweatshirt. Comfy and soft, yet the camo pattern gives it a touch of soldier. Great for dogs that enjoy cold weather activities like hunting, fishing and camping.
Note: If the dog has a stout build, select one size larger.
Important Sizing Note: The following measurements are the dimensions of the actual product, not of the pet they fit. After measuring your pet, make sure all measurements fit within the following dimensions (with a little room to spare in the chest and neck).X-Small
My dog has had this hoodie for over three years now and she still wears it!
My 11 pound Shih Tzu (15" chest) fits perfectly in MEDIUM size hoodie. It still fits even after being laundered several times. BaxterBoo is correct to allow 2"+ to chest size - considering shrinkage from 35% cotton. I suggest staying with reputable manufacturer such as Casual Canine..
Looks great on my pitbull mix, Sookie. only complaint is that it is a little difficult to get back off, so next time i might opt for a design with velcro or zipper
This is for my Toy Poodle when she gets older. The XSmall fits her now so she will grow into this one. Shipping was great.

Ratings for Dr. David Playfair
What you wish EVERY doctor was like. Personable, informative, takes his time with his patients, listens and actually discusses options with his patients, and does not "process" you in 5 minutes or less. A great doctor to have!!!
The best doctor..I have known this doctor for many years and had my three daughters and wife visiting him with a number of problems. He is so good at listening, he is always relaxed and kind. He knows exactly how to make you calm and he is always willing to accept your idea of what you think is wrong but still knows enough to tell you why your wrong when you are lol. He is not shy to send you to a specialist and is rarely wrong about the meds. He is very much a human being and very much a great doctor. I would recommend him to anyone
one of the BEST I have ever seen, he really takes the time to listen and cares. I wish all doctors were like him. I felt a little bit like I had met an Old school Doctor that made house calls.
A doctor who cares and does his best for his patients. I have never met such a fine upstanding doctor as this one. He cares about the patient, and not about billing for each and every complaint a patient may have. A gentleman and a man of humanity.
Excellant doctor. Only interum doctor in Didsbury clinic who will thoroughly try to fix a problem. Has a wry sense of humor which adds to doctor/patient closeness. Too bad he is only interum. Was not afraid to ask for specialist help. Because of his efforts, my blood presaure has been lowered to a workable level. Knows his business.
excellant doctor, worked at a walk in clinic that i used before i had a family doctor, very nice, talkative, and seems generally interested in whats wrong and how to help
He is one of the few doctors that still take the time to listen and give you their undivided attention. He remembers all of his patients and the fact that he is always late is because he never lets a patient walk out without listening to all their concerns. One of the kindest doctors you will ever meet.
He is the best doctor I have ever had. Now works in Occupational Health. Appointment may not be on time but once he sees you, makes one feel very, very special/cared about. Is funnier then hell, making for a visit being enjoyable too. Wouldn't take the phone number so here it is now: 403-253-2269

The nation's 15-year-olds make a poor showing on a newly released international test of practical math applications, ranking 24th out of 29 industrialized nations, behind South Korea, Japan and most of Europe. U.S. students' scores were comparable to those in Poland, Hungary and Spain.
Results of the test, known as the Program for International Student Assessment, were released Monday by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group of industrialized nations. It's administered every three years, this time in 29 OECD nations and 10 others. This is the first time the test has included practical math applications.
U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige called the results "a blinking warning light" that shows the need to reform U.S. high schools. Most of the students tested were 10th-graders.
The test goes far beyond the multiple-choice questions many students see on standardized tests these days. For instance, it asks students to draw diagrams of a system by which a library could process book and magazine loans with the fewest possible steps, incorporating different loan periods for books and magazines, offering longer loans to staff members and rejecting anyone with overdue materials.
But such thinking skills are essential, says Michael Cohen, president of Achieve, a group of governors and business leaders that helps states set real-world standards for schools.
"We don't expect as much of our students" as other nations, he says. Even U.S. high school exit exams, required in about half of all states, rely on math that's less challenging.
Jack Jennings, president of the Center on Education Policy and a member of a PISA technical review panel, says he interprets the results with caution, noting that other international comparisons have been more favorable. He adds, "Maybe American kids know more math than they did before, but they don't know how to apply it in practical situations."
St. Paul Superintendent Pat Harvey says the results show that many students aren't taking enough rigorous math courses by the time they're sophomores. Many never will.
Cohen agrees. "Mathematics and ways of thinking mathematically -- and applying mathematical knowledge to real-world problems -- is an increasingly important set of skills to have in order to get access to good jobs," he says. "It's not enough for just our best kids to get access to good jobs. We need everybody."
The test also measured science and reading performance, finding little change since 2000. Reading remained average, but science, which was average in 2000, fell below average in 2003.

text: Are you sure that the gate buzzer is not being kept buzzed by the doorbell system, which you just worked on? The two ways the buzzer can be activated are the doorbell system (the DOOR button by the top of the stairs), and the computer called minotaur. If the payphone does not make any sounds other than short beeps when keys are pressed, it is an indication that the computer's keypad server is not running properly. It should send the payphone the command for a longer beep or buzz after a wrong code or a timeout on an incomplete code. However, you did just work with the wires for the doorbell/buzzer system. So I am not betting on which system is causing the buzzer to be stuck. But it should be easy to restart the computer daemon that runs the payphone. Anyone? -jake Asheem Linaval wrote: Buzzer buttons have been reinstalled, and the doorbell functions normally. Unrelated, but noticed in the course of testing: - It appears that the computer gate control is failing in such a way that the gate gets stuck open/buzzing (bizarrely, pressing a doorbell button seems to stop it). - Keypad is malfunctioning. Unsure what to make of this. It beeps on keypress, but not much else. That's all. .atl

Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?
Have you ever heard the claim "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence?" Or perhaps you've made the argument yourself or are parroting the rhetoric that you've heard on internet discussion boards where atheists frequent. Or maybe you've felt something amiss when confronted by the argument but couldn't quite put your finger on it. Whatever the case may be, it is an interesting topic to dissect and does have some practical applications as well. At the outset, I want to make one thing clear – this rebuttal to the evidence for God, or the existence of God, or religion, or specifically to Christianity, misses the mark. (more…)

CORPUS CHRISTI ARMY DEPOT, Texas (December 8, 2010) -- Employees of the Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) delivered hundreds of bicycles and thousands of toys to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve for their "Toys for Tots" program, Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2010.
The Marines were very thankful if not slightly overwhelmed, having to make several trips with four trucks to gather all the toys. The depot provided two trucks to aid in transporting the toys to the Marine Corps' facility.
"It's incredible, said Lt. Col. Angel Cuellar, officer-in-charge, Inspector-Instructor, Co. C, 1st Bn, 23rd Marines. "I've never seen a donation like this before."
Every year, CCAD employees, contractors and partners fill decorated "Toys for Tots" boxes scattered throughout the depot to help the Marines provide for underprivileged children in the Coastal Bend. The depot is one of the top five contributors in the region.
"These people support us every year, each year getting better and better," said Cpl. Laura Martinez. "Without them, it's possible we couldn't do it. They help us out every year."
"We do it because we're really fortunate and can help out the kids," said Leo Gonzales, protocol assistant. "It's a good feeling to be able to do that."
According to Larry Simone, CCAD's director of quality and this year's "Toys for Tots" coordinator, "We delivered 414 bikes and over 5,200 toys. And to everyone at CCAD, thank you for making this a success."
"I've had 26 years in the service at this point and been all over the world and never have seen anything like what I've seen at this depot," said Col. Christopher Carlile, CCAD commander. "I'm completely amazed and honored to be the commander. I cannot believe the giving spirit of this depot."
In 2009, CCAD filled four, three-quarter-ton trucks and a pickup with 1779 toys and 133 bicycles. Marines received a total of 53,491 toys for the 19,207 children in the Coastal Bend area.
The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve "Toys for Tots" Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community. The goal of the program is to install a message of hope to less fortunate children that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.

Lisbeth Salander Hairstyles
Lisbeth Salander hairstyles are sure to set trends when The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo hits theaters on December 21st, and if you haven't already seen the original Swedish version, you are in for a surprise.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Not only is the film filled with edge-of-your-seat drama and mystery, it takes you to a whole different world of fashion.
The Lisbeth Salander hairstyles alone will be enough to make you want to pause the movie and take a closer look. The character is the film's anti-heroine who has a tortured, tangled past that she seemingly keeps hidden behind torn jeans, oversized hoodies, and piercings.
The character of Lisbeth Salander has a very in-your-face fashion that at first glance may seem a little too bold, but her look is actually one that encompasses edginess, attitude, and just a hint of sexy, all at the same time. Salander's hairstyle and other little details are what complete her look and pull everything together.
Noomi Rapace - The Original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
In the original Swedish release of the film, Lisbeth Salander was played by the bold and sexy Noomi Rapace. She's a tiny sliver of a girl who played a very big part in a very big way. The actress could not have portrayed the character in Steigg Larson's novel any more perfectly.
Her all black style, grungy look, and multiple facial piercings are all brought together and even complimented by her hairstyle. The style could not have been any more fitting for the character; it's edgy and wild, while at the same time being simple and extremely low-maintenance.
The true focus of the haircut, however, has got to be the long, side-swept bangs. They give the character of Lisbeth Salander that perfect look that makes you wonder whether she is hiding from you, or just wants to be invisible.
The haircut is probably best described as a pixie with long side-swept bangs. Her hair is dyed jet black, and generally just has a naturally messy look. The cut is very simple yet has a very sexy, edgy look that gives off a naturally confident look.
Your Own Lisbeth Salander Hairstyles
To get the look for yourself, ask for a pixie cut with the length a little longer on the top, keep thick bangs that are swept to one side. Styling is incredibly simple since there's not much to work with. You can allow it to air dry or style it with your fingers as you blow dry it.
A little bit of pomade will keep the bangs in place as well as give the rest of it a naturally messy look. Scoop the pomade onto your fingertips and work it into your hair. Be careful not to use too much or get too much in one spot or you will end up with a greasy look.
For being a style that requires almost no effort, it's incredibly sexy. This one cut is proof that long hair is not always the sexiest look. Short hair cuts are edgier and give you a sexy look that also has an air of mystery and allure.
Rooney Mara - The New Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Steigg Larson's trilogy made such an impact on readers here in the U.S. that an English version of the film is now ready to hit theaters. In this version, Rooney Mara plays Lisbeth Salander, and while keeping with the dark and edgy look, she takes a slightly different approach to the Lisbeth Salander Hairstyles.
Rooney Mara's cut is still very edgy; it just has a little more to it. The cut is longer, and extremely choppy. In fact, cutting this style uses a razor more than scissors to give it a very messy, choppy look.
Getting Rooney Mara's Look
To get this look, your hair will need to at least reach the nape of your neck. One side of the cut is much shorter and choppier than the other, and the layers are all random and uneven.
This means that even though there is extra length, the cut is still just as low maintenance as the one Noomi Rapace had.
The nice thing about this particular Lisbeth Salander hairstyle is that you can pick and choose what aspects of it you want and make it your own. For instance, Rooney Mara's cut has extremely short bangs that are cut in a round-style around her forehead.
If you don't like the bangs, you can still get the rest of the haircut without them. When getting this hairstyle, you will want to cut it dry. Because there is so much texturizing involved, it's best to dry it, flat iron it, and then cut it. Use a razor to begin cutting short, choppy layers into one side.
This haircut is supposed to be completely asymmetrical, so your stylist will not be going for precision. This is a very messy haircut. As you go around the side of your head, the layers will get longer, but shorter layers are added to the top.
Once the layers have been added throughout, you'll want to use a hairspray, or better yet, a dry texturizing spray to give it a messy yet finished look and separate out the layers.
It's in the Details
Along with her grunge ensemble and edgy haircut, Lisbeth Salander has a few other details that bring even more to the character. The first thing you notice about Lisbeth are her many piercings. Each of her ears are pierced with large gage earrings, she has a piercing in her eyebrow, one in her lip, and two in her nose.
Though this sounds like an insane amount of piercings, it somehow works to complete the look. The way that the piercings are positioned allows you to see each separate one rather than a whole clump of piercings in one place. The rings only add to the edgy don't-mess-with-me look that the character portrays.
Black makeup around her eyes is what adds the subtle sexiness to the otherwise grungy look. Eyeliner is applied to the upper lash line and smudged underneath the lower. To accomplish this look, use liquid eyeliner, or slightly wet a liner brush and dip into a powder.
The moisture helps the liner to glide on more smoothly as well as look more natural. Once you've applied the liner to your top lid, gently smudge it with your finger; you can even use the excess on your fingers to smudge beneath the lower lashes.
Lisbeth Salander hairstyles are quite out of the ordinary, but that's what makes it so exciting. No matter which of the Lisbeth Salander hairstyles you choose, you can be sure that you'll instantly add edge and attitude to your look.

Stephen Harper may want to join the most important free-trade talks of the decade, but to do so he must be prepared to open up Canada's sheltered and politically powerful dairy and poultry sectors to more foreign competition.
Canada has previously been reluctant to pay this price of admission for the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks, led by the United States. But as signs grow that this broad multicountry deal could eclipse NAFTA in importance, Ottawa feels compelled to sign on.
Trade experts say there may be a middle path for Canada.
The protectionist tariffs shielding dairy and poultry products from foreign rivals, for instance, are so high – from 150 per cent to nearly 300 per cent – that Ottawa could afford to trim them sufficiently to abide by a deal without destroying these protected sectors. Or it could offer limited duty-free access.
It's still not likely to be an easy feat. Canada has always had two radically different trade policies for farmers. It tries to open markets abroad for beef, grains and oilseeds while fending off foreign competition for heavily regulated dairy and poultry producers, who cherish their protected farms.
Peter Ruiter, a dairy farmer in southern Ottawa, said he thinks his industry will survive Trans-Pacific talks unscathed because most parties to the discussions will have something they want to shelter. "The U.S. government will want to protect their cotton farmers. The Japanese will want to protect their rice farmers," the 42-year-old producer said.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, which include countries from Vietnam to New Zealand to Malaysia, seek to forge a massive free-trade zone – one that President Barack Obama's administration has said will "set a new standard for global trade." Japan recently joined and Mexico is also asking for a seat.
There's a new urgency to striking a free-trade pact that, even without Mexico and Canada, would unite 600-million people in nations that produce $20-trillion in annual economic output.
The weakened U.S. economy can't be relied upon to bolster the fragile global recovery – and boosting commerce with Asian markets offers another route to spur worldwide growth.
Mr. Harper's announcement Sunday that Canada wants a place at the talks came two days after his Conservative government warned Washington that Ottawa may have to pay more attention to Asia. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said Friday the U.S. government's decision to delay approval for a Canadian pipeline for up to 15 months meant Ottawa would have to expedite oil sales to Asia.
A former senior Canadian trade official said expanding trade with Asia is not the Harper government's only reason for joining the Trans-Pacific talks.
John Weekes, Canada's chief NAFTA negotiator, said Ottawa can't afford to be left out of talks that appear to be offering signatories a deeper economic relationship with the U.S. than can be found in the North American free-trade agreement.
"What we're talking about here – if it really does become what Obama says it will be – is we're renegotiating NAFTA in the same way we renegotiated the Canada-U.S. FTA when we started the North American free-trade talks."
On Monday, both the Harper government and Canada's dairy farmers played down the likelihood that this country would have to scale back tariff walls keeping out foreign milk and poultry.
This country has negotiated more than eight free-trade deals without having to sacrifice protections for these sectors, Dairy Farmers of Canada noted in a statement.
These so-called supply managed industries are largely shielded from foreign rivals while production and prices are set by producers in a command-and-control approach that critics say hikes prices for Canadian consumers.
Mr. Weekes, however, said U.S. pressure could one day spur Canada to make concessions, such as offering some duty-free access or trimming tariffs.
When the 11th hour of talks arrives, he said it's hard to imagine Washington scaling back American dairy subsidies while allowing Canada a pass.
"They have probably concluded they're going to have to make some liberalization on dairy but the last thing they'd want to have happen is … the Canadians in the background saying 'We're not going to do anything,' " he said.
"How would the Americans explain that to their domestic industry?"
Deborah Elms, a Singapore-based scholar and Trans-Pacific talks expert, said it's still unclear exactly what happened at the Honolulu APEC summit where Canada announced it wanted to join the negotiations.
"There are all sorts of confusing signals out of Hawaii," said Prof. Elms, with Nanyang Technological University.
"What I'm getting is that the Americans did not want Japan to join by themselves. Therefore, they went back to Canada and asked them to join again."
Prof. Elms suggests Canada may have been granted some sort of guarantee by the United States that it would not have to make concessions that would erode the tariff walls protecting the dairy and poultry sectors.
"It is possible that some sort of deal may have been cut to allow Canada to keep supply management," she said.
"Certainly, Canada's trade minister's statement [Ed Fast]suggested that he thinks the system is not about to be dismantled in the [talks]" she said.
"I don't think he would be so strongly out in front on this issue if he didn't have some assurance."Report Typo/Error

Mobile Money Machines Review – How Can You Make Money from the Rising Amount of Mobile Phones?
Would you like to learn how you can make money from the rising amount of mobile phones in the world using the Mobile Money Machines system? This new system is all about making money with the concept of mobile marketing and is created by 2 professionals in the field of mobile marketing and advertising. They are Frank Lucas and Matt Marcus. Not many people are convinced about the potential to generate an income using the power of mobile advertisements, but statistics clearly show that mobile phone users are on an upward rising trend that is set to continue to rise.
1. What is the Nature of the Mobile Money Machines System?
From what I have seen so far, this strategy is a little bit like providing services to businesses in form of a consultant. In fact, many people around the world are providing consulting services to other businesses and making a healthy amount of monthly income doing it. The opportunity is very lucrative once the user has managed to convince the client to try mobile marketing, and the business becomes a win-win process for both parties afterward.
2. What Are Some of the Training Materials Provided in the Mobile Money Machines Download Package?
This downloadable package comes with a set of video training tutorials that total more than 40 hours of training as well as text instructions provided in the form of PDFs. With more mobile phone users around the world as compared to the number of internet users, mobile marketing is set to become the next most lucrative opportunity for anyone to tap into from home and generate their own full time income in my opinion.
There is also much less competition in the space of mobile marketing as compared to Internet marketing, thus mobile users are much more responsive than Internet users at the moment from my experience.
3. What Are Some of the Strategies Used for Making Money with the Mobile Money Machines System?

DAY NINETEEN -- The Heat look to salvage home court in Miami -- likely -- and the Clippers look to steal one in Phoenix -- certain.
Nets at Heat, 8:00 PM, TNT
Winner: Heat
Thoughts: The defense for the Heat has to improve; the Nets three starting perimeter players all scored at least twenty points in game one. Poor perimeter defense leads to penetration(among other things), penetration leads to Shaq in foul trouble, Shaq in foul trouble... well, that's an obvious one. Shaq needs to keep himself out of foul trouble(a couple of his fouls were offensive) and the Heat need to improve defensively, primarily in transition. This is a tough call for me, but I got Miami tonight.
Clippers at Suns, 10:30 PM, TNT
Winner: Clippers
Thoughts: Phoenix showed us(read: me) why their style of play has gotten them as far as it has. Despite getting a 4-0 dropped on their ass by Elton Brand, the Suns managed to scurry to a win, pushing the tempo as usual. 130 points is a tough pace to keep up, even for the Suns. This series may end up being closer than I first predicted, but the Clippers will still win and Elton Brand is still unguardable.
One thing that was evident in game one was that Boris Diaw and Shawn Marion caused as much of a mismatch with their quickness as Brand and Kaman do with their size. It will be interesting to see how these match-ups play out through the series, but in my experience size always beats quickness in the post through the rigors of a playoff series.

Grindelwald's wand in Deathly Hallows
In Deathly Hallows, it goes, "...Harry saw the delight upon his handsome face, then the intruder shot a Strunning Spell from his wand and jumped neatly backward out of the window...". When it says "his wand", is it referring to the Elder Wand, or his first wand? Thanks. AlastorMoody 03:43, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
- His first. He wouldn't have been able to use the Elder Wand against Gregorovitch, it's true master. Jayden Matthews 10:21, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
- So did he overpower Gregorovitch by Stunning him, or by stealing the wand? Because in the Elder Wand article, it says the Wand can switch masters through stealth, as was the case with Grindelwald and Gregorovitch. --AlastorMoody 00:12, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
- As far as I'm aware Grindelwald defeated Greogorovitch by stunning him. It would have been unncessary, otherwise. Grindelwald was already perched on the window ledge, and could have escaped at any time. Jayden Matthews 11:39, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
