Where to buy
|Murad 30 Day Acne Complex Kit

Acne.org is not associated with this product. All proceeds from links go to charity.
[The prices listed above may change at any time and in some cases do not include shipping.]
I used this product for a few months and it does not work. It leaves my t-zone very oily and my skin breaks out a lot. Leaves my skin also very irritated and red. This product was not worth my $60. I go to the dermatologist instead it's way better than spending on useless products like this
worst acne treatment ive ever used. wouldnt pay $1 for this.
if you want your acne gone,use this...I love it and I gave it to my daughter...it works...
I purchased this product on the recommendation of a friend because I was experiencing a flare up of my acne. At the time I was battling one or two stubborn cysts. I am now desperately trying to treat several more that won't go away and just as I think one is healing, another appears. Some are returning in the same exact location. I believed that I was building a resistance to oral antibiotics but now think that this product is contributing to the problem. I do not recommend it.
I had light acne prior to using this product and wanted to find a good acne treatment that would get rid of my acne once and for all. I saw this kit in Sephora and thought why not? First week into the treatment, my skin cleared up. Second week and beyond, my skin broke out like crazy. I stopped using this after a month and is still suffering from cystic acne breakouts 3mos later. My skin is currently starting to get better, but it's only b/c of the antibiotics &cream my dermatologist prescribed.
You can get stronger products in the store. Neutrogena makes products with salicylic acid. They make a gel that's 1% stronger then murads. Also neutrogena makes cleanser that's 0.5% stronger then murads. Cheaper then murad with no shipping and handling. If this doesn't work go to a dermatologist.
I'm surprised to find so many negative reviews on this product. So far Murad has been the only product that treats my acne effectively. I've been using it for several years now and it keeps me 90% clear. I still have the occasional break out which is usually hormonal or if I'm using a cosmetic that doesn't agree with my skin.
If this system works for you I recommend buying the full size versions of these products. They are economical and last a very long time.
used this when i was younger... still have scars from the horrible acne and scabs it gave me. i used it for a couple of months, and at that time my acne was moderately severe. the spot treatment is what caused the burns, scabs, and now scars, they have faded, and are gone with some makeup, but i have one above my eyebrow that i have cut bangs to cover. I did not apply too much, it just caused a horrible reaction. also, my skin never stopped "purging" even though i was on it for a little under three months.
I've been using the complete set of Murad Acne Complex for over 2 YEARS now.For about the first 6 months I saw some improvement ( about a 30%-45% decrease in acne- and I had black and whiteheads).But afterwards for the next year I didn't see much of an improvement and felt that it had hit a plateau.And up till now (for the past 6 months) it has only gotten worse.I have twice as much acne as before and I'll occasionally will get cystic acne (something I NEVER had before).Also the wash smells like a combination of oranges and acid, and the leave-in spot treatment smells strongly of sulfur.Besides the untreated acne, the smell has to be second-most embarrassing.I would try to use the spot treat all over my face in hopes of reducing my acne, but those around me (when near my face [hugging, kissing], or even when I laid on a pillow) would complain of the smell. A bad-smelling face should NOT compensate for acne treatment.
Unfortunately I'm still using Murad until I can find a cleanser that works.I'm thinking about trying Black African soap, and if that doesn't work I'll try going back to Proactive - Yes PROACTIVE, something that I stopped using 5 years ago due to it being too harsh. But I feel that I have no other choice. I'd rather have a dry face than one that smells so bad I can't be near my friends.
The only time I would recommend this is if you have LIGHT acne and is suffering from a flare-up, and I would only recommend the cleanser and the moisturizer. And when applying make-up you would have to wait about 10 mins for the moisturizer to absorb in the skin.
I felt like I wasted two years of my life and now I don't know where to go concerning my face.I would visit the Derm, but last time they only gave me a bunch of random topical medicines that left my face extremely irritated and when they prescribed me Minocin I was constantly sick (nauseous, stomach cramps, dizziness) and left me with a very ODD case of skin discoloration.Tha
Okay, everyone is complaining about the purging stage. The truth is, this happens with almost EVERY acne treatment you'll use. It's the hidden stuff coming up and your face adjusting to the change. It takes a while to adjust to and everyone reacts differently. After using the product only once, my face started to break out a little..However, in the spots where it was clear, you could tell that those spots were actually cleaner. You can feel both the 1st and 2nd step working while you apply it. My face still hasn't cleared up, but I'm still in the purging stage and I have hope for this product, honestly. I know it will work out in the end. You shouldn't lose hope either. I got this product at Sephora for 27 dollars; 25 with my mall discount. If you want to buy this product, you can find it cheap, I'm sure. I got the entire package. I will update my review once I get past the purging stage.

2014 Richmond: AJ Allmendinger NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Preview
Posted by: newsla on Apr 23, 2014 - 07:10 AM
2014 Richmond: AJ Allmendinger NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Preview
Take it easy: "We ran pretty good and finished in the top-15 (15th) last year at Richmond International Raceway,â Allmendinger said. âWe started off massively tight and we were plowing, but ended up with a decent finish. I do actually like racing at Richmond a couple times a year. It is a tough track to prepare for during the weekend. You do not practice at all at the same time of the race. It makes going into the race difficult. You have got to be real easy on your rear tires. At the same point, you have got to get the car to turn. I always think it is fun the way the race plays out because I think the driver can make a difference by not using up the rear tires. It is a cool short track that really is not like any other track so it makes it fun to go to because it is unique. I thought last year we were decent. So far, our short track programs have been pretty good. Hopefully, it will be the same.â
Time off: âIt was awesome to have some time off this past weekend,â Allmendinger said. âI didnât do a darn thing. I played golf and sat on the couch. It was nice to have a break in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule for me and my guys. The deal for me is the less I travel, the happier I am.â
Recharging: âEvery weekend is a new weekend for us,â Allmendinger said. âI feel like it is a chance for us to continue to grow. For my guys, they have been busting their butts all season long. Forming the RCR (Richard Childress Racing) alliance and the switchover to Chevy (Chevrolet) was done relatively late last year. It came together kind of mid-December. My guys have been non-stop working. You could see they were a little worn down. Between the west coast races and all the rain we had - for a team like ours - it puts a lot of strain on my guys. They have done such a good job to build good cars and get us to where we are at. A break for them to get away from racing and be with their families this past weekend was really good for everyone.â
Grilling: "On race day, I like to do a barbeque for the guys," Allmendinger said. "There's plenty of time to do that since the garage opens later in the day. So, weâre going to do that. We will probably grill steaks and chicken over Kingsford Charcoal and have some BUSH'S Grillin' Beans as a side of course. It's a good time."
Have a shot: âWe are ready for Richmond International Raceway and think we have a good shot at a top-10 finish at that track if everything goes as planned,â crew chief Brian Burns said. âWe feel like two of our strongest races this season took place at Phoenix International Raceway - we just had some unfortunate stuff happen during the race and our result did not reflect our effort - and Martinsville Speedway obviously. Richmond follows along in that direction setup wise. It is one of our strong suits I believe. We are confident we can make a strong showing there. AJ has a couple top-10s there and has run fairly well at Richmond in the past.â
Come a long way: âIn our most recent race at Darlington Raceway, we were a little off,â JTG Daugherty Racing co-owner Brad Daugherty said. âLast year, we would have finished 35th instead we finished 15th. Those are the types of results I have been waiting on and I have been looking for over the years. Looking back, we just did not have the affiliation or the ability the last couple of seasons to get to where I thought we should be no matter what we tried. Now, we have opportunities to run extremely well. There have been some glaring mistakes we have made, but we are going to fix those things.â
Things are lining up: âThe technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing (RCR) has been phenomenal,â Daugherty said. âA lot of times, most every place we went last year - outside the short tracks - we were out-powered, out-resourced and we were in a tough situation before we even left the shop. We did not have what we needed to be competitive and that is no longer the case. RCR and ECR Engines have done a great job for us so far. We have been reenergized and AJ is a talented young man with a lot of ability. It was just the right timing for him to step into the car. Bobby (Labonte) did a great job for us over the last few seasons and really helped keep a ship afloat that was really struggling. Now, we have been able to step up our pieces and parts. AJâs going to get better and going to continue to grow as a driver. We think we are lining up for some big things. We have to keep taking one step forward each week and hopefully we can survive the dog days to have a great year. We have a good vibe over at the shop right now and it is exciting.â
Got five on it: âItâs the little thing that adds up throughout the day,â Daugherty said. âWe have eliminated the lack of horsepower, the lack of aero and the lack of information. We have got that. Now, it is a matter of focusing on small things that is going to get us in the mix at the end of the day to give us a chance on that last pit stop for my guys to tighten up their belts and really go out there focused and get AJ off pit road and get him back on the track and get him back in the opportunity for the last green flag. One of these days we are going to put ourselves in a green-white-checkered situation and Iâm putting my five dollars on AJ. He will absolutely wheel that thing. All I ever ask him, if we get to that point, is to bring back the steering wheel."
Great employees: âWe are going forward,â Daugherty said. âMy guys are working really hard. We have got some great people that believe in what we are trying to do. We donât have 550 people in our building, but we have got some people that are dedicated to what they do. I am proud of all of them. They dig real hard all day long. Itâs tough for teams our size to get a little bit of spotlight, but we are working towards it and trying our best to earn it.â
Element of surprise: âThe battle for us is to do 10 race segments and try stay in the top 20 as we go through the dog days and continue to battle,â Daugherty said. âWe think we are going to shock some people and hopefully surprise some people by the end of the season.â
AJ Allmendinger has 13 starts at Richmond International Raceway and two top-10 finishes. His best finish at the short track is seventh (4/30/2011). His average start is 18.769 and his average finish is 20.692.

Just like there are winners in the lunchbox, there are sure losers as well. The school cafeteria is more than a place to eat lunch; it's a social scene. You don't want the lunch you carefully packed to boomerang back uneaten. So sometimes the dilemma is not so much what to pack but what not to pack.
•Messy foods
Kids dribble and are likely to spill on the clothes they have to wear for the rest of the day. The older they get, the more embarrassing it is. Minimize items that cause stains such as ketchup, salsa and yogurt in a tube.
•No-no's on the school's list
Your child will bear the consequences and might go hungry if you send items that aren't allowed. Follow the school's rules about what to avoid, which might include peanut butter, nuts, candy, gummy/fruit snack, soda and chips.
•Items they need help with
You have good intentions packing fruit cups or string cheese, but if youngsters struggle and can't open them and a teacher is not there to help, they'll miss out entirely. Adults may not mind peeling an orange, but children are more interested in socializing at lunchtime. Go with easy-to-eat foods or finger foods for the younger ones.
•Improperly packed foods
Beyond the obvious safety concerns, foods like string cheese and yogurt simply aren't appetizing at room temperature. And a smushed sandwich may taste the same, but is likely to get the heave-ho into the trash. Get a quality lunchbox designed to keep foods at the right temperature. Meat, poultry and fish can quickly spoil in a lunchbox that sits in a backpack all morning with no refrigeration. Younger tummies are more susceptible to foodborne illnesses than adults, and they can get sicker if exposed.
•The same thing every day
When you find a crowd-pleaser, go with it! But even PB&J's can get monotonous. Try almond butter or tuck a few apple slices into the sandwich for variety.
•Smelly or uncool foods
Remember the lunchroom is more than a place to eat but also a social scene. Give your child's lunch a sniff. Foods such as tuna, garlic, liverwurst, stinky cheese, and leftovers or ethnic foods might attract unwanted attention and be embarrassing.
•Nutrition phonies
Don't be tricked by labels that promise health benefits, or fun, colorful packaging that your son or daughter will love. Fruit roll-ups seem like the childhood dream food, but they have three types of sugar listed in the first five ingredients and some brands also have trans fats and artificial colors, which may lead to hyperactivity in some kids. Choose all-natural fruit leathers with simple ingredient lists and no added sugar or artificial colors.
Juice pouches have attractive packages, but water and high-fructose corn syrup are the first two ingredients on some versions containing only 10 percent juice. Opt for either 100% juice drinks, or better yet, drinks that have water as the first ingredient and juice as the second ingredient. These will be lower in calories and sugar.
Packaged lunches include all the fixings like crackers, cheese and lunchmeat, or even pizza or chicken nuggets, along with a drink and a treat—but they are loaded with saturated fat, salt and sugar.
Yogurt-covered raisins may sound like a healthy combination, but they're more of a candy-like snack because the yogurt is mainly oil and sugar.
Granola bars are actually very high in calories, taking up an even higher percentage of a child's ideal caloric intake for a day. Grade-school kids only need around 1,400 or 1,500 calories.
Last but not least, don't pack foods they don't like. Surprises are generally not welcome and oftentimes get tossed. Don't try foods they haven't experienced at home. Have your kids help so you can get the low-down on what they really want. At least you'll feel a little more confident that they'll start their school afternoon with satisfied, full tummies.
eMeals Healthy Lunch Plan is a great way to incorporate fabulous lunch box friendly recipes. Having your lunch plan done for you will eliminate unwanted stress, wasted money, and frustration.

Disney Land City
07.03.2013 - 08.03.2013
View Sailing Around the World & Around the World with Bill and Hope on HopeEakins's travel map.
Singapore stands in great contradistinction to our travels to Vietnam and Cambodia and Bangkok. The city state is grand and exciting and amazing; there is not one piece of litter, one smudge of chewing gum, one broken curb anyplace. We saw no poor, no sick, no one badly dressed. The city bustles and yet is rather gracious; there is considerable traffic but there are well designed roads and public transportation. The ship's destination consultant who lectures on each port/country made the observation that different places of worship and ethnic populations stand beside each other in Singapore without conflict because the god is commerce and people are willing to give up their personal rights for the success of the economy. Thus there are large fines for gum chewing - and no one does. Drug dealing/possession is punishable by death - so there is no drug culture.
We docked in Singapore at 6 pm and were whisked away to the China Club atop a magnificent skyscraper where we had drinks (in beautiful etched glasses) in a beautifully furnished space whose windows overlook the city. Then a seven course Chinese dinner with a harpist playing and crisp linens and great service.
On the next day we asked a cab driver to take us to the Botanical Gardens and he told us that he had a better idea - Gardens by the Bay. Too hot outside, he said (97°), and these new gardens (2012) were air conditioned and had a waterfall and supertrees --- and we said okay. GBTBay is so typically Singapore - taxis drop you at a ticket counter; after purchase, you go in a little train through 8-10 various gardens, drive by the supertrees* to the Flower Dome which is a 10 story high glass structure that overlooks the city and has every flowering plant you can imagine. Then to the Cloud Dome - again 10 stories high with waterfall and baobab trees and a giant walkway. *The supertrees are pretty great: huge metal structures with trunks made of packed plants incorporated with technologies that mimic that mimic the natural functions of trees - they catch rainwater and collect it and drain it and they capture energy. They also have computerized lights that give a light show every evening - and one has a restaurant on the top.
Then to the Raffles Long Bar for Singapore Slings and lunch, and next to St. Andrew's Cathedral. It was hard to find one's way in there. The main door was locked, but there was a large Welcome Center near the subway stop around the block - and the inside was AIR CONDITIONED. We went through to the nave (again hard to find the way, but we went by a kitchen and up some stairs) where the area to the side of the altar was filled with old music stands and speakers and detritus. The sanctuary was blocked by a chain with a sign 'Do Not Enter.' So we sat in a pew and knelt down - on plastic, for the needlepoint on the kneelers had been covered up with plastic sheets. We saw no prayer books and lots of TV screens on the pillars. Feeling very hot and not very welcome, we recalled that this was a church with a welcome CENTER, for heaven's sake, so we went there and on our way saw the new Chapel for All People which was rather bare and mildewy smelling, but big. Then back to the welcome center whose large windows held posters (2 x 5 feet maybe) with the title "WERE APES THE ANCESTORS OF MAN?" Subheads said things like "Evolution has Never Been Proved" and "Evolution Contradicts God's Word." We were astounded and ashamed. Surely in this 21st century city, the Anglican Church shouldn't be denying evolution. Who would go to this church?
Finally we took the subway back to the ship. We didn't know the rules. We went to a ticket window where you couldn't buy single fare tickets. So we went to a machine and mastered it - but - we didn't have a bill small enough to work it. So we went to a money changing place and broke the $20 bill and then back to the machine again. The subways are efficient and well routed, but they are very crowded.
In short, we were glad to see this city but likely will not return.

Via Technologies plans stock sale
Post a comment
Taipei, Taiwan -- Via Technologies Inc., the top competitor of Intel Corp. in chipsets, said today that it's planning to sell shares in the form of American Depository Receipts (ADRs) for US$300 million - US$500 million in the second half of this year and debut on the New York Stock Exchange.
The chipset maker is about to hire Credit Suisse First Boston and a few others to manage the sale.
The long-awaited stock sale has been delayed since last year, as a slump in PC demand dragged down sales of Taipei-based Via and many makers of PCs, semiconductors and components.
Now, with growing expectations from some companies and analysts that the downturn will reverse in the traditionally strong third quarter, Via is ready to begin the share sale.
"The sooner we kick off the sale, the better It'll be for us to expand," said a company executive, who asked not to be named. He said proceeds from the sale would be used in acquisitions of a U.S. wireless chip design house, among other purposes.
Xilinx Inc., San Jose, Calif., has said this week that order cancellations and pushouts have "slowed considerably," a sign the worst might be over.
In the first five months of this year, Via's sales hit US$480 million, meeting only 36.2% of its full-year target.

Late last week, a leak from within Ubisoft revealed that there are several Assassin's Creed titles in development at the popular French studio that have yet to be announced. Among them was something called Assassin's Creed Pirates — a title that we have learned more about today.
Assassin's Creed Pirates, as it turns out, is not a fully-fledged console release, or even an offshoot for Assassin's Creed 4, but is actually a standalone title built for high-end mobile devices (i.e. smartphones and tablets). And, as the name suggests, the mobile game is built around dominating the high seas while searching for treasure.
In Assassin's Creed Pirates, players will take control of Alonzo Batilla, a man living during the golden age of piracy and who is after the mysterious treasure of La Buse. As Batilla, players will build up their pirate ship — increasing its artillery, fortifying its defenses, bulking up its crew — in order to find greater success on missions.
While the announcement trailer for the game (seen above) only briefly shows the Assassin's Creed Pirates combat in action, it looks like a pared down version of the naval combat from the proper AC games. As far as the exploration goes, though, that isn't implicitly highlighted in the trailer, but Ubisoft claims gamers will be able to "explore a huge map featuring paradise islands, volcanic shores, mangroves, and many more gorgeous landscapes."
It's also important to mention that Assassin's Creed Pirates is its own mobile title, and is not a companion app for Assassin's Creed 4 — although one of those is also on the way. From what we can gather, the mobile title only loosely ties into the Assassin and Templar lore overall, with the game seeming more like a pirate management sim than anything else. Clearly, Ubisoft is banking hard on the pirate concept.
In addition to the announcement of Assassin's Creed Pirates, Ubisoft also revealed that an HD remake of Assassin's Creed Liberation is in development for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. The title is slated for release in 2014, and will feature a "complete graphical overhaul and re-mastered music and sound effects."
When we reviewed the game last year we said that although Assassin's Creed Liberation boasts some interesting ideas, there were some elements that left us a little disappointed, specifically the use of costumes for different gameplay options. Apparently with Assassin's Creed Liberation HD, the gameplay experience has been revamped and new missions have been added to further flesh out Aveline's story.
That story will presumably be expanded on in Assassin's Creed 4 as well, as Aveline is a playable, exclusive character for the PS3/PS4 version of that game. To find out her origin story, however, gamers will have to wait until next year, or pick up Liberation on the Vita.
With three games coming in the next few months it appears that, in addition to turning Assassin's Creed into an annual game franchise, Ubisoft has also made it a global brand, spanning several interactive experiences. At the same time, they may also be over saturating the pool with content, but as long as the fans ask for more AC Ubisoft will continue to deliver it.
What do you think about Assassin's Creed Pirates? Does it sound like a mobile title you would check out? How about Assassin's Creed Liberation? Do you non-Vita owners want an HD version for consoles?
Assassin's Creed Pirates will be out this Fall for "high end smartphones and tablets." Assassin's Creed Liberation HD is targeting a 2014 release on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Zachary Levi To Take Over the Fandral Role in Marvel's 'Thor' Sequel
by Alex Billington
June 9, 2012
Source: THR
"Complicated fellow, isn't he?" Just 24 hours after it was first revealed that actor Josh Dallas would not be reprising his role as Fandral in Marvel's Thor 2 sequel, being directed by Alan Taylor this summer, a replacement has already been named. THR says that instead of Dallas, they've cast Zachary Levi to play Fandral, one of the Warriors Three, already seen in the first Thor. They remind us that talks are "at an early stage — negotiations have not yet begun, according to sources — but an offer is imminent." Levi's cult hit TV show Chuck just wrapped up earlier this year, but Dallas left because he is now on ABC's Once Upon a Time.
Marvel's Thor 2 is gearing up for a fast start this summer, following Iron Man 3 which is already shooting. "Game of Thrones" director Alan Taylor has already cast Mads Mikkelsen as one of the newcomers, playing the villain. Of course, returning are Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Idris Elba and Anthony Hopkins. Levi was in talks originally back when Thor was casting to play the role of Fandral, but had to leave because Chuck got picked up for another season. Now that Dallas had to leave the role because he got a TV show, it's Levi's gig once again. The perfect tag-in. I actually recall Josh Dallas giving a great performance as Fandral, but I'm very curious to see how Levi does, and how the Warriors Three are used, in this next Marvel sequel.

I'm I love with my best friend(guy) and I'm a girl but he loves my best friend(girl) and we all know about each crushes.
Try to do somthing fun with all three of ur best friends maybe they will get to know each other better and get along better and dont worry bout him i bet in 3 years u wont even know who he is and boys r idiots no offense to the boys who r reading this
things happen get with your g.f and see if you three can do something one night
menage a trois
Unless you're fat (fat people cant even respect their bodies, so they wont respect others, its a fact. Source: I'm a fat **** too), he should go with the one that loves him as the one he loves will most likely leave him anyways. Given you're age, its normal for your friend to be an idiot, but hopefully, one day, he learns that the fastest road to ******** is being loved.
Yea teenage hormones... just have fun with it until you learn that most guys are just either immature or obsessed with their "success" to the point that it makes them self-obsessed... but UNTIL THEN, realize how much fun being a teenager is. And use protection.
I'm a straight man who loves wearing women's panties, stockings and lingerie. I'm not into wearing dresses or skirts, or wearing make up. I love how women's intimate clothing feels. Much softer and nicer than men's. I'm looking for a woman who wants her man dressing up in lingerie with her and cuddling on a couch. Playing with one another.
Have a *********. All 3 of you can love each other. Problem solved.

Even worse....If you are in a line of people firing, you'll be dodging brass coming from your left all afternoon!!
You should always wear eye & ear protection anyway...& coveralls to keep from ruining your clothes)

Student exchange programme kicks off again
Monday 26 September 2011
Article summary
An innovative coach education student exchange programme which has been endorsed by the UEFA Executive Committee moves into the new term with a course in Nyon this week.
Article top media content
Article body
UEFA's campaign to nurture Europe's football coach education standards continues into 2011/12, with the first course of the season taking place this week as part of an invaluable student exchange programme endorsed by the UEFA Executive Committee.
The project's objective is to give UEFA Pro licence students opportunities for international knowledge exchange as well as the chance to enjoy direct access to UEFA tutors and content as part of their education as coaches. Representatives from Moldova, Kazakhstan, Cyprus and Belarus will come to the House of European Football in Nyon for the course.
Group discussions, forum sessions, analysis of UEFA Champions League matches and talks with professional coaches will figure on the agenda together with practical sessions.
The inaugural pilot course was held at UEFA's Nyon headquarters earlier this year, and a second pilot event was subsequently staged in Denmark.
Participants in each course come from three or four European national associations and are led by their respective coach education directors. UEFA appoints experienced tutors/coach educators to work with UEFA's technical director and UEFA's football education services at the event, with members of UEFA's Jira Panel also actively involved along with guest presenters.
Howard Wilkinson, chairman of the English League Managers Association and a Jira Panel member, will again contribute as guest tutor, while UEFA Development and Technical Assistance Committee member Jerzy Engel will be present to give further expert advice.
The programme promises direct involvement on the part of European football's governing body: a major goal is to give extra support to the Pro licence courses run by national associations. All four student exchange activities in 2011/12 will take place in Nyon.
"The aim is to encourage student coaches to move across Europe and broaden their horizons," said UEFA's technical director Andy Roxburgh. "This is an exciting project and one which, UEFA is convinced, will genuinely add value to the coach education work being done by our member associations."

He loves his current long hair but cant decide if he can keep it for his film Agent Vinod or not.He was recently spotted talking to his hairdresser Aalim Hakim about hair maintenance for almost an hour before he could start shooting for a commercial. Saif asked Aalim if he should keep his hair long for his role in Agent Vinod where he plays a slick spy or if a crew cut would go better with the character.According to Saif, he will be doing a look test before the film starts to decide if his long hair will stay or not. While he personally prefers the long hair, he will accede to director Sriram Raghavans wishes if the latter asks him to cut his hair. Hope Saif can decide what the best look is and grow out of his troubles soon enough.

Happy with purchase!
I am very happy with my purchase of these chairs. I got 2 of these in chocolate chenille to use as captain's chairs at my dining room table. I partnered them with 4 side chairs also purchased from overstock (Class Parson Brown/ Tan Leaf Fabric Dining Chair) and they look great together. I was worried that the browns wouldn't be close enough in color but I couldn't have done better if I'd seen them in person! They feel very stable and the seat cushion is very comfortable. Great purchase for the price.Read More
Wonderful captain chairs!
I ordered these chairs for Thanksgiving and they were delivered exactly as promised the day before the holiday. I was concerned that I'd be up all night putting them together, but they were simple and look great! Wonderful Parson Chair additions to my table!Read More
Beautiful chairs!
I have always wanted upholstered head chairs for my formal dining room. These beautiful chairs are the exact same shape as my dining set chairs, so I was so excited to find them! The color, a rich chocolate brown, is perfect. The fabric is soft and great quality. They come as a set, so that's a great value! Packaged well and arrived in good shape. Easy enough to assemble myself. Comfortable and beautiful. I love them!Read More
Nice Chocolate color
these are nice chairs. Pretty comfortable. They are a little stiff compared to what I was expecting, but prefer it that way since I know over time they will break in. They are still nice and comfortable. Easy to put together. Some of the holes didn't match up exactly perfect, but it was sitll fairly a quick job getting them together. The color on my screen looks a golden brown, lighter in tone than they are in person. They are a nice chocolate brown as they say, I don't see any orange undertones as I do on the screen. I like them better in person.Read More

Great chairs - a bear to assemble!
Overall, great chairs. I wanted to write this review to chime in on the color; they are indeed a dark chocolate brown, darker than they appear on the screen, which is perfect. No gold or tan overtones, just a nice dark brown. They were tough to put together, but I was able to do it myself with a fair amount of profane language. But once finished, no hard feelings, and I am happy with my purchase :)Read More
chenille dining chair set
Stylish and on trend but the boring for seat into the back didn't align so the bolts wouldn't go into the treaded female end. A few wood screws hopefully will overcome that. Also each chair had one leg that was 1/4" too short. We'll see how they hold up at Thanksgiving.Read More

"Do these chairs require assembly? If so, what needs done? This question was asked in Jan by someone else with no response. Thanks for the assistance."
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
They do require assembly. I didn't put them together myself. My son-in-law did it and he said they were very easy to assemble.
"What assembly is needed?"

Longhorns and Trojans Weigh in On Wednesday's Rose Bowl from WNT Camp
Making the roster for CONCACAF qualifying in Mexico is the main focus of all the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team players who began training camp today on the beautiful, lush fields at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
But for several of them, there are visions of different kind of football swirling in their heads. Football to be played on another expanse of gorgeous, green turf located just 26 miles away at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
You see…it's all about school spirit. Forward Amy Rodriguez and defender Meagan Holmes are freshmen at two-time National Champion USC. They bleed cardinal and gold. Defenders Stephanie Logterman and Kasey Moore are freshmen at football-mad Texas, and have burnt orange running through their veins.
And that makes them natural enemies, at least for one night.
On a cool Wednesday evening this week, the eyes of the national will be focused on an historic stadium that sits nestled at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains as the Trojans and Longhorns lock helmets in the "Grandaddy of'em all" as the annual Rose Bowl doubles as the BCS National Championship Game.
The four young players took time out from fútbol to tell ussoccer.com why their school's football teams will be lifting the trophy under the bright Pasadena stars (well, the smog-obstructed stars).
No word on whether the losing players will have to wear their opponents school colors at practice the next day, but suffice to say, one pair will be standing much taller and smelling the roses.
Amy Rodriguez
Nickname: A-Rod
Hometown: Lake Forest, Calif.
The Skinny: A-Rod is good friends with USC freshman red-shirt QB Mark Sanchez (who mimicked Vince Young for the scout team during practice leading up to the game). They went to the same high (Santa Margarita) for several years and he will be battling for the #1 quarterback spot next year.
Soccer Position: Forward
Position if she played tackle football: Tailback (You ever seen her play soccer? 'Nuff said).
A-Rod on why USC Will Win: "Two words: Reggie Bush. There is no way Texas has any chance of stopping him. I want the best team to win, but really, I feel sorry for Texas. Just saying his name gives me the chills."
On Campus Brush with Matt Leinart: "I've seen Matt in the training room a few times. One time he was getting treatment on his knee and he had a ball of athletic tape in his hand. He went to shoot it in the garbage can and he missed. And I said, 'You play quarterback?' He laughed."
Meagan Holmes
Nickname: Holmsie
Hometown: Timonium, Md.
The Skinny: Missed her high school powder puff football game while in Thailand playing for the U.S. U-19s in the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship
Soccer Position: Defender
Position if she played tackle football: Quarterback (Because she's a "playmaker.")
Holmsie on Why USC Will Win: "First of all we have the best quarterback in the nation in Matt Leinart, the best running back in Reggie Bush and I know the 34-game winning streak will become 35. I talked to a few of the guys on the team. For them, this game is about fun. They love a challenge and don't see it as pressure. That's why they are going to play well and win. Put simply, our school is 'the bomb.'"
On Campus Brush with Reggie Bush: "Reggie came up to me at a party once and started talking to me like he knew me, but I had never talked to him before and haven't spoken to him since."
Stephanie Logterman
Nickname: Logs
Hometown: Austin, Texas
The Skinny: Logterman is a born and bred Longhorn, coming onto this earth in Austin, Texas in 1986. One of the first songs she learned as a little girl was "The Eyes of Texas." She had yet to see a Texas football national championship in her lifetime, until, according to her, now.
Soccer Position: Defender
Position if she played tackle football: Cornerback (A shutdown corner at that).
Logs on why Texas Will Win: "Two letters: VY. If you think he's going to throw, he'll run. If you think he's going to run, he'll throw. He's like having Reggie Bush at quarterback, except with a much better arm and much bigger. Plus, our fans are the best. They are totally crazy. I had friends buy airplane tickets to Los Angeles last August. Practically my whole soccer team is going to be there and hardly any of them have tickets to the game."
On Campus Brush with Vince Young: "I was in the training room and was wearing some Nike running shoes that he liked. He said, 'Girl, I like your shoes, where'd ya get them?' I said, 'Oh, they are team-issued.' Not a very good response, I know. I wish I could have come up with something better."
Kasey Moore
Nickname: None that she knows of…
Hometown: Mission Viejo, California
The Skinny: Like USC quarterback Matt Leinart, Kasey Moore hails from Orange County. That doesn't mean she's rooting for him. Moore may be a California girl transplanted to Texas, but she'll be rooting just as hard as Austin-born Logterman come Jan. 4.
Soccer Position: Defender
Position if she played tackle football: Free safety (because she likes stopping people from scoring and loves to tackle).
Kasey on Why Texas Will Win: "I think Texas will win because they are stacked all over the field. They have Reggie Bush, but we have Vince Young, who has scored almost as many touchdowns. We have Jamaal Charles at running back and Kasey Studdard at guard. Not like I am a big fan of O-Lineman, but our names are spelled the same and he gets it done. They have weapons and we have weapons. I think it will be close, but we're going to pull out."
On Campus Brush with Vince Young: "Every time he's in the dining hall, you cannot say a word to him because he's ALWAYS on his cell phone. I have no idea who he's talking to, but my friends and I always wonder. Then one time we were in weight room and he finished doing the bench press and I had to throw a few more plates on there before I went. Okay, I could probably barely bench the bar itself. That dude is ripped."

First of all, my apologies for not posting the winners of the Why Do You Do It? (i.e. why do you write or read) giveaway. As some of you know I've not been too well, and am only now beginning to play catch-up with my deadlines. And everything else! Thanks for your patience, and I'm really sorry to make you wait so long.
So, the two winners are:
Who said:
Oh wow, those are brilliant reasons, some of which I'd never thought of before.
I guess I write because I have to–I have to write down these crazy things I think up, because otherwise I would go crazy. Like you said, I need to know what happens next, and I also want to create something as awesome as the stories I read. Writing is how I make sense of the world sometimes, and not doing it would result in me stumbling aimlessly and confusedly through the streets.
Well, okay, maybe not, but I wouldn't be a very happy person if I didn't write.
Who said:
I read because I HAVE TO!! I can't stop, I can't not, I must! I am lost with out something, anything to read. I need to read. My eyes get oh so tired and heavy and I have to work at O'dark thirty in the morning and I tell myself.. "one more page, just one more page"
I'm glad that the random number generator picked out one writer and one reader, which seems only fair. Irene and Colleen, please email me directly (writerkaz AT gmail DOT com) and let me know your full name, mailing address, and whether you'd like me to send you a signed UK edition of The Iron Witch – or a signed copy of A Visitor's Guide To Mystic Falls. I'd also like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who commented. I loved reading all of your responses, I really did.
At the moment I'm juggling a lot of work on different projects, and one of the big ones is a draft of The Stone Demon – the third and final book in The Iron Witch trilogy. When I say "a draft," I mean something that actually has a beginning, middle and end that my editor can make sense of. 😉 It always feels strange to be working so far ahead of schedule, especially as Book Two (The Wood Queen) isn't even out yet! However, I did sort of realise that The Wood Queen will be arriving in stores pretty soon. *collapses with nerves* It only feels like yesterday that my debut novel was released into the world, but already that was almost a year ago. Time – I mean, how fast it seems to move – can be a truly scary thing. Anyway, in honour of The Wood Queen being pubished in just under two months (eek!), here's a non-spoilery snippet. I've been asked a few times lately for a glimpse of some romance, so I hope you enjoy it…
"I don't want to talk, Xan," she said, hearing her voice as though it came from somewhere very far away. "I'm sick of talking."
As she said the words, she knew it was true. Talking at the trial. Talking to Navin. Talking to her aunt.
It was all just noise and she'd had enough.
"Okay." There was no hesitation from him. "Whatever you need."
Donna reached for Xan, conscious of how the flickering firelight caused her tattoos to glimmer and flash.
He pulled her into his arms and stroked her hair. He murmured nonsense in her ear and pressed her hard against the warmth of his body.
She waited for a moment, letting him offer much needed comfort and basking in the intense heat that poured off him, reminding her again that he was other. If he were fully human, there was no way he would be that warm—not unless he was running a fever.
She lifted her head, knowing exactly what she was doing. She wanted to forget. Her whole being cried out for oblivion, but she'd never been someone who turned to drinking or drugs. She'd been taught too much about self-control over the years, due to the need to control her strength. Super-human strength on alcohol wasn't a pretty prospect.
Donna was sick of control. She wanted to let go—just this once—and be truly free.
So she kissed Xan, knowing that he wouldn't kiss her unless she made the first move. Not at a time like this; not when she was clearly devastated, even though he didn't understand why. He was too much of a good guy to take advantage of her pain and confusion. But luckily for her, she thought with a wicked grin that seemed to come from nowhere, he wasn't too good.
There was no hesitation from him. Xan moved warm hands to her face, his long fingers trailing fire as he explored her mouth with his.
They had only really kissed once before. The night after they'd told each other their stories in Mildred's café, they'd shared a real kiss just outside Ironbridge Common. It had been new and exciting and filled with promise. But this … this was so much more.
Donna felt something open in her chest, like a bud unfurling in the face of the sun. She felt herself slowly coming alive under Xan's touch.
Then he pulled away, and Donna grumbled at the loss of his warmth. He held her at arm's length, and she couldn't help being pleased to see how much he was struggling to control his breathing.
And she could relate—the guy knew how to kiss. She tried not to think about all the other things he undoubtedly knew how to do, or all the other girls he might have done them with. He was way more experienced than she was, and she was worried that would show.
"Donna, wait, we shouldn't—"
She cut him off by pulling free of his grip and placing the unmarked palms of her hands on either side of his face. "Shhh. I don't want to talk. I already told you that."
"Tell me what happened."
She shook her head. "Kiss me again."
Xan frowned, but she could tell he was torn. "I don't want you to do something you'll regret. You're upset … " His voice faded as she traced the fine lines of his cheekbones and stroked his caramel-colored hair back from his forehead.
"I'll be more upset if you don't shut up and kiss me."
Donna could hardly believe what she was saying; it was like a different person was emerging from a dark cocoon. She'd been buttoned up so tight for so long, and it was incredibly liberating to be wild.
If only for one night.

Small Ship with a Big Heart!: Celebrity Century Cruise Review by deelastcre
Overall Member Rating
Small Ship with a Big Heart!
Destination: Hawaii
Embarkation: San Diego
Celebrity, starting on day two exceeded my More expectations for this cruise. I did my research and knew that I could expect rain, wind, and that I would not be able to sunbathe at the pool each sea day or enjoy my balcony. I did enjoy my balcony! Our weather was fairly good with a few sunny days and only a few bumpy days. Our Captain, Nicklolas slowed us down during he day and picked up speed at night. Speaking of night.....The ship was as quiet as a mouse after 10:30 p.m. The average age on the ship seemed to 70 and there were walkers, wheel chairs, and scooters galore. I am a senior, as well but I do like a little excitement after hours on vacation.
Our waiters, Rafael and Nicklolas were excellent and our room stewards, August and Larry kept our cabins clean and took care of all of our needs and wishes. I read that some of the other guests, who reviewed this sailing complained about their waiters and stewards, but we have no complaints. The head of housekeeping asked us about our cabins and I mentioned during the Captain's Club event that I noticed a leak under the sink. He took his phone out and made a call. When we returned after dinner, the problem was taken care of for us. The Captain and Sr. Officers were all just as friendly and helpful as the rest of the crew.
We did try Murano for lunch one day. The Food was good, but we received better service in the Dining Room. We were happy with the food and the Easter Buffet was awesome. The wine events(I attended two.) were informative and interesting. I attended one of lei-making classes and observed during a few of the Hula Classes. There were many classes, seminars, etc. on Hawaii and The Culture of Hawaii.
We enjoyed the entertainment in Rendevous Lounge each night prior to dinner. We attended only a few shows, because the entertainment didn't interest my group. I did enjoy the Comic the first week, the Pianist, and Dance Around The World. This is an area where I would like to see more variety. After Dinner, we spent a few hours in the Casino. We spent more time in the Casino than usual. The Casino still uses coins to pay you and are outdated. The Casino Staff said that they liked the old machines. Hopefully, they will update the machines and add a few more bathrooms for ladies in public spaces when they refit the ship.
The internet experience was expensive and slow! Despite the discount, we had to buy two packages. We don't normally use the internet on cruises, but we had a few family crisis going on this time that we needed to keep in touch with our children. If you need to use the internet, buy a package larger than you think that you will need. Our first package with about 200 minutes lasted until it was time to check in online. Luckily, the kind crew member in the Internet Cafe helped most us finish up our boarding passes without using too many minutes.
I booked four excursions and enjoyed all of them. Pearl Harbor and The Volcano National Park were our favorites. We were blessed with a greeting from the Whales outside our balcony when we arrived in Maui and the Dolphins put on a show for us on the first sea day. I enjoyed The Old Lahaina Luau better than anything else that I visited.
All in All, I enjoyed this experience and I will sail on Reflection next year. I doubt if I will sail Century, again after trying the Solstice Class Ships. We had the easiest debarkation in the 13 cruises that we have taken. Celebrity made me feel like a star, again.! Two days later, my friends all had future cruise confirmation numbers and I still don't have one. After talking to two departments, again, I was told to call back on Friday. I would like to see the seaside service improve to match the onboard experience that I love. Less

|NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision Gaming Kit

3D Vision Performance Impact
EDITORS NOTE: This section was added on 01/12/2009, after the article was initially published.
At the time that I received the 3D Vision for GeForce kit from NVIDIA, Benchmark Reviews was packing up for the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. While I would personally consider the 3D Vision kit to be an experience enhancing product, and not a competitive tool, there have been a few questions in regard to the overall impact on frame-rate performance. So with CES behind us now, I have returned to deliver some benchmarks showing what kind of performance you can expect from the 3D Vision for GeForce gaming kit.
The system I used for testing was comprised of the following hardware and software:
Before I reveal my benchmark performance results, I feel that it's prudent to note that my game-play experience was not altered by the frame rate performance at any point during testing. While I have been a competitive gamer at points in the past (namely with Battlefield 2), my original objective for this product wasn't to see if it would improve or decrease performance. The entire idea behind 3D Vision is the revitalize video games with a new immersive experience. Overall, that was exactly what I rated with the video games I tested. This section, however, is all about numbers.
NVIDIA offers 3D Vision enhancements from 1-100%, or disabled from the control panel. Using Far Cry 2 as my test platform, I utilized the included benchmark tool to measure frame rate performance. 3D Vision for GeForce does not use standard-edition ForceWare drivers, as it requires special 3D profiles (similar to SLI profiles) from a different ForceWare package. Beginning with no 3D Vision, I set a baseline for performance. Next I follow-up with 16% enhancement (which is the default for 3D Vision), and completed the testing with 100% enhancement. The chart below illustrates the impact on frame rate performance.
While I didn't particularly notice any degradation of performance while playing the game for several hours, the benchmark has caught what I didn't. Far Cry 2 is probably the most demanding video game on the market today, requiring slightly more graphical power than the original Crysis. With the frame rate at 1680x1050 reduced to 19 FPS using the short benchmark tests (which give the lowest score), it appears that there will be a point at which the action will be reduced by using 3D Vision for GeForce. I'm not entirely certain this will matter much to the average consumer, who I presume will likely look at the 3D Vision kit as a tool for improving gaming experience. It's like the force-feedback and motion seats for racing games, or the vibration in game control pads; 3D Vision for GeForce is not necessarily going to improve performance but it will improve the experience.

AFTER undergoing gruelling heart surgery most people would be taking it easy.
But not Dave Walker. He is planning to abseil 154ft down Southend Hospital's tower block to raise money for the unit that cared for him.
Just seven months ago, Mr Walker, 59, was on the operating table, undergoing six hours of quadruple heart bypass surgery.
Next month, with his GP's blessing, he will abseil ten floors off the tower block to raise money for the hospital's acute medical unit, which cared for him before he was transferred to Gordon Hopkins ward.
Mr Walker, an IT trainer for Essex Police, will be joining up to 100 other daredevils at the event, which takes place on May 17 from 10am to 4pm.
He said: "My life is back to normal, but I wanted to do something because I was looked after so well.
"I am a bit nervous about going over the edge but, at the end of the day, it will be worth it."
Mr Walker, of Cumberland Avenue, Southend, very nearly didn't survive to undertake the challenge because, he admits, as a "typical bloke" he dismissed early niggling chest pains as indigestion.
It was only when crippling chest pains caused him to pull over on the A130 on his way to work in August last year that he finally went to his GP.
The GP sent him straight to hospital where staff at the acute medical unit told him he had suffered a heart attack and he would need surgery because all four arteries to his heart were partially blocked.
Two weeks later Mr Walker underwent surgery, using veins taken from his leg and chest area.
Thanks to his wife Caraline and daughter Megan, 15, along with regular cardiac rehab sessions, his life gradually returned to normal, though he wasn't able to do much to help look after his son Jack, 20, who has cerebral palsy.
Mr Walker, who is now back at work, said: "I would say to anyone not to ignore anything like this."
To find out about the abseil, call 01702 385337 or e-mail fundraising @southend.nhs.uk

THE Mayor of Darwen Town Council is to stand down from the role 'to 'give someone else a chance'.
Coun Paul Browne campaigned in favour of originally setting up the town council, despite his party, the LibDems, being against it.
Coun Browne, 70, said: "To be the first mayor of Darwen since 1973 made me feel proud as punch. As a Darrener, my first priority has been Darwen. I am a Darrener first and a politician second."
He said he was pleased with the job he had done as mayor.
"Wherever I have gone, the people of Darwen have made me and my wife feel very welcome. Even when we have had other engagements in Blackburn, Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley, I have always been made to feel welcome as the first mayor of Darwen Town Council."
Coun Browne, who is standing for re-election as a councillor next month, said although it was tough getting going, he believed the town council had worked.
He said: "I know at the beginning there was a lot of political movement going on and all the parties were falling out. But it all fell into place and we have finished up as one happy family."
Coun Browne added: "I am so chuffed when people ask for the Darwen mayor. That was what I liked.
"It seems small, but it is so nice that they ask for me, rather than the borough mayor."
During his time as a borough and town councillor, and as mayor, Coun Browne has had his devoted wife Ruth by his side.
Ruth, 66, said: "It has been really nice to be mayoress and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
"It has been a pleasure to serve the people of Darwen. I think Paul has done a wonderful job."

The ATEN folks have come up with a little doodad (CS661 aka the "Laptop USB KVM Switch") that I'm thinking might be a great data center tool. We either already have or want to have IP KVM's in our data centers but once in a while it's just easier (like in a colo) to do some upgrades and mods from your handy dandy laptop. Or you've got a PC under your desk that you only need to run special projects on. Either way, this widget allows the local computer to control the remote through the USB port without needing external power supplies and while sharing a common USB peripheral.
When I first plugged the unit in, nothing happened....well more accurately nothing seemed to be happening. My only indication that it was working was the flashing light on my hard drive. The "autorun" took nearly 8 minutes on a 2.5ghz Core 2 machine before I got any indication that it was happily installing the remote control software. The Thinkpad X41 (Running XP pen tablet edition) was still not doing anything after 10 minutes. Ok so I should have been a bit more patient. When I opened up "My Computer" I found an icon that looked like the unit (see pic below) and just as I started opening it up, the hardware wizard finally finished installing. In the mean time the "local" computer (Dell Opteron 755) splashed a connect message on the screen and popped up a copy of my Thinkpad's screen (The Thinkpad was connected to the longer cable and was "remote"). I would lay odds that my McAfee anti virus software had a great deal to do with how long it all took to install.
Though not shown in this pic....when it's connecting to the "local" and "remote" machines, there will be a pair of bright blue LED's on the window just above the "ATEN" logo. When a connection is made and data (screen or files) are moving those LEDs flash like crazy.
Hmmm....VERY difficult to see in this picture, but the left coil of wire is longer (about 1.8 meters) and the right is about half as long (.9 meters). The longer side is the "remote" connection and the shorter side is the "local" connection. The USB port on the right side is for a shared USB peripheral of some sort....
Now while this unit is Windows only (XP or Vista) their PR agent is saying that a Mac version will be out someday. Now if I could mix my Mac as the local and an XP as the remote I would be in hog heaven. I would see using this in a data center to reconfigure my servers during IP address changes or when remote desktop isn't practical. Though I should point out that this isn't like the full size KVM's like those put out by Avocent or Raritan in that this MUST have an operating system involved. However, it's a small enough (and cheap enough) that I'll be carrying it instead of a USB transfer cable as part of my traveling toolkit.

aloha bakers
i recently found the fresh loaf site, and have been nibbling and gobbling my way through hours of posts, recipes, links---what a treat! though i've been baking bread for many years, i've pretty much stuck to an old (old, old) reliable bread machine recipe, and, decades after dumping the bead machine and receiving a heavy-duty mixer, i adapted that recipe to make focaccia, pizza, ww breakfast, and quite a number of bread-like things that i'd rather not mention. but living in hawaii, about which i promise i will not complain, makes me hunger for the great artisan breads i've eaten on the mainland. no bakery here puts out anything similar, possibly due to the even temperatures and misty humidity. don't know--just hungry for great bread. so....i've been branching out and baking and collecting some new equipment and reading about baking and baking some more and having a very happy time!
one comment on the web site--excellent, helpful, easy to access, most generous site that it is--and this is not a complaint, either: there are so, so many recipes and formula and tips and what-not, it is immediately apparent you can do just about anything you want with flour and water, and you'll have bread at the end. or at least a bread-like food form, delicious to ducks. i'd been searching for the "best" recipe when i found the site, and now i'm very clear that is like seeking the "best" song. it is a little scary with all these winds of possibility ruffling my recipe pages, but i'm certain i'm completely safe here. thank you for that.
okay, today i used the psomi bread recipe to make a wonderful orange prune breakfast bread--because the recipe looked yummy, and i didn't have some of the ingredients, and i've had this bag of prunes sitting in the cupboard since my mother was here. no buttermilk in the house (possibly no buttermilk on the island, at least i've never seen it) so i used yogurt, and no sesame seeds but plenty of orange peel to zest. there's plenty of yeast in this buggah, so i got a nice rise, soft crumb, and an easily managed dough. half the loaf disappeared when it came out of the oven after lunch--and we were full, we thought, already. the second loaf will tell the tale of the crumb and interior structure as it's actually cooled intact (so far). no photos, but just picture a whole grain loaf from a bread pan with flecks of orange peel and teensy bits of prune (i think it smushed up in the knead).
i must say, when i read the threads i often think, geez, if you're wondering why your bread didn't turn out like the picture above the recipe, just note that you made so many, many alterations that it's a new recipe entirely. hah. i can't seem to follow a recipe as written, and not only because i don't have the ingredients or the right pans or whatever. i think baking taps into a deep creative reservoir, and each bowl of dough is a fresh expression of our humanity. that's what i tell the family when they ask, "what was this supposed to be," anyway.

Here is a complete stock I am making. It is still in the ugly stage, but it should come around and I will post pictures as it comes along. This one is taking a bit longer as it is a complete build. Notice the first picture is the original. The guy was going to pass his winchester lever to his son. Well the stock some how got eaten by a dog while it was off the gun. So I am making a custom one to replace it, out of Purple heart. Hope you enjoy.
Looks good. I wouldnt even know where to begin with making my own stocks.
Looks great so far. You have more patience than me. I hate doing stock work.
The engraving is amazing
You are doing a great job so far!
I have the problem of not being able to imagine what wood needs to be removed.
Great job that looks great.

The Nokia 100/101 don't aim for the sky when it comes to their specs, but pricewise they do - the basic Symbian 30 devices push the boundary of the ultra low-end as probably the most affordable color screen phones while delivering outstanding battery life.
Nokia 101 is a dual-SIM device with an MP3 player, features not present on the Nokia 100. Both of them, though, come with an FM radio and battery that can serve you up to 25 days in standby mode, with a talk time of 6.7 hours.
The more advanced Nokia 101 supports microSD cards with capacity reaching 16GB, a perfect tool for storing your music for once. The 101 comes with a standard 3.5mm jack for your headphones. It also remembers the settings of up to five SIM cards, but two can work at the same time.
The Nokia 101 will be the first to hit the market this quarter carrying a price tag of $36 (25 euro), while the Nokia 100 will only arrive next trimester for $29 (20 euro). Both devices are aimed at the African and Asian markets, but at such a price they really seem like a steal for anyone who wants an affordable music player/phone, aren't they?

Historic Flag Ceremonies
How often have you repeated the Cub Promise, or Scout Oath and wondered how you as a leader could make this a significant and meaningful experience in the life of every youth in your unit?
Laurel Highlands Council has the finest program facility for dramatically portraying "Duty to Country," and presenting a truly inspirational, educational, and highlighting experience in the life of the members of your unit as they participate in a Historic Flag Ceremony at the Council Service Center, Flag Plaza, Pittsburgh, PA 15219.
With its five stately flag poles towering to 80 feet, Flag Plaza, is an extraordinary sight. Here fly twenty-four hours a day, the 50-star American Flag, the banner of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the crest of the City of Pittsburgh, the ensign of the Boy Scouts of America, and one of the historic forerunners of Old Glory.
Scores of Scouts participate each year, raising one of the 12x18 foot flags our forefathers designed and defended in their pursuit of freedom as they carved a mighty, yet humble nation dedicated to justice and freedom for all.
After arrival at 6:30 p.m. and before conducting the Flag Ceremony at 7:30 p.m., Scouts climb the beautiful Eagle Trail Staircase to the Flag Room, which is a large and impressive wood-paneled room. Here, one may view the original works of flag art, each singular and unique, all created by Don Hewitt. Each depicts one of the forerunners of Old Glory over a view of one of the scenes in which our forefathers might have used that banner.
These same scenes are reproduced in full color on a magnificent 22x34 inch Flag Chart. This treasured Flag Chart is presented to each Scout and uniformed Scouter who participates.
In the Flag Room is the Eagle registry…within which is found the name of every Eagle Scout to achieve that rank in our council. Names date back to 1915. Under the printed name is a place for the boy and his unit leader to affix their signatures.
The focal point of the Flag Room is the "You Are The Flag" mural created by noted cartoonist, Milton Caniff and narrated by famed actor, Jimmy Stewart. A copy of this outstanding mural is also presented to each Scout who participates.
Everyone will be able to ring an exact replica of the Liberty Bell which was cast in the Whitechapel Foundry in London.
Displayed in the Bicentennial Room are 13 original works of art, in addition to the inspiring painting, "One Hundred Years Ago," from our Nation's Centennial celebration.
The Milton Caniff Gallery contains a collection of his original personal comments in pen and brush, plus July 4, 1976 salutes of great American cartoonists.
Next to the Bicentennial Room is a nine foot replica of the Statue of Liberty that offers a stirring audible message.
Units are invited to contact Charles Huse at Flag Plaza – Scout Center to schedule for a Historic Flag Ceremony.
