Pre & Post Care
In order for your new brows to heal properly (and look their best) these Pre & Post Care Instructions found below are of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE! Pre-Care instructions are designed to limit bleeding and skin sensitivities during the service. Excessing bleeding during the procedure will dilute the pigment color and lead to poor results!
Microblading Pre-Care
- Do not work out 24 hours before procedure.
- NO alcohol or caffeine 48 hours before procedure (Yes, there is caffeine in decaf coffee and tea!).
- Avoid sun and tanning one week prior to procedure.
- Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Advil/Ibuprofen 48 hours before procedure.
- Avoid Fish Oil, Prenatal Vitamins, Nutritional Shakes (Shakeology, etc), "Hair, Skin, Nail" supplements 48 hours prior to procedure.
- Discontinue Retin-A, Chemical and Laser Peels, microdermabrasions, and Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) atleast 6 weeks prior (and avoid on eyebrow area after procedure to prevent premature fading).
- Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area should be avoided 2 months prior to procedure for those who do not regularly receive injectables.
- Avoid the following herbs and spices 48 hours before procedure: ginger, cinnamon, garlic, black and cayenne pepper.
- No brow waxing, tinting, or threading one week prior (the more natural hair growth you have, the better!.
- Please Note: You will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
Microblading Post-Care
Keep the the brow area clean by using a fragrance-free gel cleanser (such as Cetaphil) and water. Hands must be freshly clean . Avoid use of abrasive washcloths or sponges.
Allow eyebrows to completely dry before applying ointment (pay dry with paper towel or air dry).
- Once fully dry, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor (rice size amount on each brow).
- Repeat above steps 2-3 times per day for 7-10 days after service.
- DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring and pigment loss!
- Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 4 weeks after your procedure. Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyper pigmentation and scarring.
- Avoid pool, sauna, steam rooms, hot showers and/or hot baths for 10 days.
- Avoid sweating on your face for 10 days. Sweating through or on the brows will expel pigment from the dermis producing poor results.
- Avoid sleeping on your face/brows for the first 10 days.
- Keep your bangs and hair pulled back from your face for the first 10 days.
- NO makeup or skincare products to be used on the treated area for 10 days.
- After 10 days, once the area has healed completely, consider using sunblock when going out in the sun to stop the color from fading.
- Eyebrow tinting should not be undertaken for 2 weeks after your procedure.
- Avoid Retin-A, Chemical Peels, Laser Treatments, Microdermabrasions, and/or anything to treat hyperpigmentation around the brow area once healed to prevent fading of your brow tattoo.
Please note: Eyebrows will appear darker, bolder, and sharper due to natural scabbing and healing for the first week. This is very common for all permanent cosmetic procedures.
Permanent makeup is NOT recommended for any clients who are or have:
- Pregnant or Nursing
- Diabetic
- Viral infections and/or diseases
- Epilepsy
- A Pacemaker or major heart problems
- Had an Organ transplant
- Tendency towards keloids or scarring
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area (rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.)
- Sick (cold, flu, etc.)
- Had Botox in the past 2 months
- Have upcoming vacations or special occasions planned.
- Used Accutane in the past year
- Allergic to anesthetic (Lidocaine)
- Extremely Oily or Problematic Skin
Attention Please: We strongly advise prospective new clients to book their Microblading appointments at least 3-4 months in advance of Vacations, Weddings, and Special Occasions. This allows adequate time for healing of both your Initial Microblading Appointment as well as a Touch-Up Enhancement Session 8-12 Weeks prior. To have perfect brows it is a multi step process. Dream brows cannot be achieved in just one session. Some clients need more than two sessions to achieve their desire density and shape.
***There are no implied or written guarantees if you do not follow the above pre and post care instructions!***

Oblique injury will force Michael Cuddyer to disabled list
The Rockies will place Michael Cuddyer on the disabled list with an oblique injury.
|An oblique issue lands Cuddyer on the DL. (Getty Images)
Rockies right fielder/first baseman Michael Cuddyer will be placed on the disabled list, reports Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. Cuddyer has been dealing with an oblique injury and is expected to miss two to four weeks.
The corresponding move for Cuddyer will be Sunday's Rockies starting pitcher -- Triple-A Tulsa has announced that it is Tyler Chatwood. Earlier Saturday, the Rockies placed Sunday's scheduled starter Christian Friedrich on the disabled list and recalled Matt McBride.
McBride, 27, will get the start at first base Saturday night. He was hitting .354/.380/.561 with 10 homers and 77 RBI in 91 games for Triple-A Colorado Springs. McBride came to the Rockies' system along with Drew Pomeranz and Alex White from the Indians in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade last season.
Cuddyer, 33, is hitting .260/.317/.486 with 15 homers, 30 doubles, 56 RBI and 52 runs this season. He signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Rockies this past offseason.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am 18 years old. I I got a job at Macy's about 4 months ago. So I took about five 10 dollar coupons and used them.. these coupons are to be given out to customers if they buy a pair of jeans.. (same thing as a lot of other coupons they send in mail). Anyways I got "caught" and was called into LP. They made it sound so much worse than it was.
This is the first time I have ever gotten in trouble for anything. I have never stolen anything ever in my life except for this I guess..
They asked me to sign a whole bunch of stuff, and mention whether or not they were threatening me, I said no, but that wasn't truly honest.
They said that I have to pay $60 and that I am suspended. I was too much in shock about what happens next.. so what does happen? is my record ruined? will I never get a job?
Re" " They made it sound so much worse than it was. " Stealing from an employer is serious business and the consequences of such actions are often far in excess of the potential profit of the conduct if successful. You are young and your former employer has not over-reacted here, based on the facts summarized in your post. But you will fare better in the future if you do not hold on to notions that this was some sort of trivial error. At somepoint in your future, someone will ask you about it. An answer that makes plain your remorse and the fact of a lesson learned the hard way will serve you far better than one that complains that the employer made "it sound" worse than it was.
My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. I give legal advice only in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me. That relationship is established only by individual consultation and execution of a written agreement for legal services.Ask a similar question
You were actually quite fortunate. If no police were involved and this only involved you and your former employer, you dodged a bullet. Major mistakes can make for very valuable lessons. Make this one of your lessons.Ask a similar question
Well this is a first. I disagree with each of my esteemed collegues. I cannot tell whether a complaint will be filed, but it seems that if you did not see a police officer and receive a citation on the spot, you will likely not be charged. I am, however, concerned about these documents you signed which you cannot describe. I don't know, but am concerned, that they may contain a confession. Sounds like it. However, I am neither as judgmental nor as pessimistic about the strengths of the defense as my collegues.
Theft from an employer is known as embezzelment. Ordinary theft of less than $950 is known as a petty theft. Both are "CIMT," or crimes involving moral turpitude. Many jusidictions offer Deferred Entry of Judgment where, on minor first-time offenses such as this, you can take a 6- or 12- hour class and get a dismissal of the charges. You don't want a crime such as this on your record. However, there are post-conviction remedies as well, should the highly unlikely worst case scenario follow.
Petty theft requires a taking with an intent to permanently deprive the owner of the property. Where coupons are freely given out, and without knowing more about the circumstances of the "bust," I can't know how defensible nor how serious your case is. You should consult an attorney to determine the current status. Make no more statements to your employer.Ask a similar question

Comments about Hooker Headers Dual Competition Header Back Exhaust System Kit:
This exhaust system is about as good as it gets for pre bent systems. The mandrel bends had no kinks and installed very easily. It hooked right up to my hooker headers, the only modifications were the cuts to shorten it for my shortbed truck but that was stated in the instructions. My only complaint is that the kit only comes with two 90 degree brackets, I didnt want to drill through my cross member to install the hangers. That was fixed with a trip to the local hardware store. The exhaust is not 100 percent leak free with just clamps but once its welded it will be perfect. I saved easily $50 compared to what the local shops wanted for just pipes. All in all its a great kit, just takes some time to install.

Arriving like a sudden jolt of energy in what can be a dry awards season, Martin Scorsese's hyper-kinetic box office smash was a shock to the system. The Wolf of Wall Street gave a 71-year-old director his rudest and most playful film to date, with more sex, swearing and quaaludes than anyone could have expected.
A year on, aside from just how many F-bombs are dropped in the movie (that's 506), which you already know, here are 15 facts you might be less familiar with.

Alfred Shout epitomised the legend of Anzac. He was born in New Zealand in 1881, serving in a local contingent in the Boer War before settling in Australia with his wife and daughter in 1905. He was a carpenter and joiner in Sydney and served part-time as an officer in the local militia force. He joined the AIF as soon as war was declared and was a foundation officer of the 1st Battalion. He took part in the landing on Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, and was awarded the Military Cross and Mentioned in Despatches for his actions over the next few weeks.
On 6 August the AIF attacked at Lone Pine. During three days of bitter fighting Shout became one of seven Australians to be awarded the Victoria Cross there. He took part in the initial assault and over the next days was conspicuous in defending captured positions. On 9 August Shout charged down an enemy trench, killing eight Turks with bombs and wounding others. Later that day he simultaneously lit three bombs as a prelude to a final dash. The third exploded prematurely, causing horrendous injuries. Shout remained cheerful as he was evacuated to the rear, but died on a hospital ship two days later. He was buried at sea, and his Victoria Cross was gazetted two months later. For years Shout s Victoria Cross was the only Gallipoli one not held by the Memorial. It was added to the collection in 2006 and displayed in the Hall of Valour with the other six Lone Pine Victoria Crosses.
Citation (abridged):
On the morning of 9th August, 1915, with a small party, Captain Shout charged down trenches strongly occupied by the enemy, and personally threw four bombs among them, killing eight and routing the remainder. In the afternoon he captured a further length of trench and continued personally to bomb the enemy at close range, under very heavy fire, until he was severely wounded, losing his right hand and left eye. He succumbed to his injuries.Source: The Australian War Memorial

Liberty House

The regeneration of the Liberty House complex, between Foley Street and Sean McDermott Street, sought to rejuvenate and transform the neighbourhood. The project involved the demolition of 1 of the existing 1960s slab blocks, and its replacement with a mixed development, accommodating new and existing residents. The architects proposal contained a total of 56 units, with a mixture of duplexes and apartments. The scheme is a key element in the NEIC plan to provide a series of urban spaces linking Sean McDermott Street and Talbot Street, thereby contributing to an improved urban environment in the area. The project is a model of sustainability, using energy saving strategies such as passive solar gain, self-condensing boilers, solar water heating, heat recovery systems, highly insulated building fabric and waste recycling.

William Robson: Adjusting for household size makes sense for exactly the reason Jim mentions – two may not be able to live exactly as cheaply as one, but more people under one roof does save money. As any parent who has had a strapped kid move back in knows, stagnating incomes are likelier to put more, not fewer, people under each roof. Average household size has been shrinking since at least the beginning of the 1960s, which includes an earlier period of very rapid income growth. It seems that one of the benefits of rising living standards is that people are able to live more independently.
Anne Golden: Bill is arguing that all income groups saw their income grow from 1996 to 2010. This is correct. However, the top group grew way more than the bottom or middle groups. To me, the important point from a societal point of view is that the top group is growing much faster than the rest. So that the shares of the income pie are shrinking for four out of five income groups.
Konrad Yakabuski: Kevin Lynch's research shows that, while pre-tax income inequality in Europe is generally higher than in Canada, many European countries have lower after-tax inequality. So, is there more do be done in Canada via the tax system, without resorting to a counterproductive "tax the rich" strategy?
Anne Golden: Yes, there is room to modify the tax system without it becoming counter-productive.
Jim Stanford: It hasn't been established that "taxing the rich" is counter-productive. Many European countries have much higher personal taxes than Canada, and yet have done better than Canada in motivating business investment, innovation, productivity growth and exports.
Miles Corak: The tax system actually played a major role in undoing the rise in market inequalities up to the mid 1990s. This suggests more could be done now. There are many ways in which the system can be made more equitable and more efficient, and these steps should the first ones taken while at the same time recognizing that tax policy cannot be the only way of addressing the very profound labour market changes that are the ultimate drivers of disparities in incomes.
William Robson: We should look at taxes and spending together: How we spend the money matters as much as how we raise it. Hiking income taxes at the top end can certainly lower top incomes, but tends to raise disappointing amounts of revenue. We can do more for people with low incomes by taxing more robust bases – as the GST does – and using the revenue for income supports and working-income supplements.
Kevin Lynch: In looking at the toolkit available to respond to income inequality, there are both tax and spending options available depending on the nature of the specific problem. We should also always ask ourselves whether the best approach is to increase redistribution or to increase opportunity through the provision of public goods like education.
Konrad Yakabuski: Economist Tyler Cowen's new book, Average is Over, posits that the United States is becoming a "hyper-meritocracy" where only the most technology-savvy workers thrive, leaving everyone else in low-wage jobs. If this is at all applicable to Canada, isn't it unrealistic to think we can make much of dent in income inequality if bigger economic forces are work?
Jim Stanford: The situation that Cowen describes is hardly a meritocracy. Lucky individuals do not take a place among that small, well-off group because they somehow deserve it. And there will be many millions of tech-savvy workers who are as poor and insecure as any of the rest of us – by virtue of their skills being subject to automation or offshoring. I do suspect that absent deliberate efforts to support mass prosperity, a situation much like what Cowen envisions will emerge. But the causation at work is not merit, it's power. The top 1-2 percent will do extremely well thanks to their financial wealth and control over businesses. Another 10-15 percent will do fairly well thanks to (at least temporarily) unique skills or characteristics, proximity to those with wealth, or other fortunate factors. The rest of society will scrape by, and what we know as the middle class will largely disappear. There's nothing inevitable or "economic" about this trend. It all reflects deliberate policy and political choices that have been made: about how we collectively choose to regulate our business , trade, and employment relations. Different choices in each of these domains can also be made.Report Typo/Error

|changing specific openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary
|Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:49:40 GMT
Hi. I'm running OpenJPA (2.1.0) with Derby database. The default dictionary doesn't have value for selecting values from sequences. So, I've added this to my persistence.xml: <property name="openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary" value="NextSequenceQuery="SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR {0} from SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1""/> However, I understand that this will apply unconditionally. And if my application, packaged as it is, is ever executed under another database, the above line will override whatever is the default for the proper dictionary. So I was wondering whether it's possible to set a property like that for a specific dictionary only. I tried doing that, but it didn't work: <property name="org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.sql.DerbyDictionary" value="NextSequenceQuery="SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR {0} from SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1""/> Thank you! Pawel.

Iran has rejected claims by a former US senator about Tehran's "role" in the 9/11 attacks, saying the Islamic Republic has been fighting terrorism for a long time.
In an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal last week, former US Senator Joseph Lieberman claimed that Iran had played "an enabling role" in the September 11 terror attacks, and accused Tehran of rendering assistance to terror groups, including al-Qaeda, across the world.
In a column published in the same US daily, the head of the Press Office of Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations, Hamid Babaei, said Lieberman had been long making "unsubstantiated allegations" against Tehran with the help of certain "militaristic" think tanks in Washington.
He added that such claims were aimed at diverting attention from the real culprits behind the 9/11 attacks.
In doing so, Lieberman "is hoping to direct readers' attention away from new information brought to light about the involvement of a new anti-Iran, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in the events of 9/11," he said.
"Public attention and litigation, Mr. Lieberman fears, will force investigators to follow up on leads they previously ignored due to Riyadh's status as an ally [of the US]," he added.
Babaei described the al-Qaeda terrorist group as a "sworn enemy of Iran," which has, along with its allies, been committing crimes all over the world.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran has fought these groups long before 9/11 and will continue to do so," he added.
The Iranian official concluded that such anti-Iran claims aim to use the "emotions" raised by the 9/11 attacks "to manipulate the American public into pursuing militaristic adventures."
The September 11, 2001 attacks were a series of hijacked-plane strikes in New York, the Washington D.C. area and Pennsylvania, which killed nearly 3,000 people.
None of the 19 hijackers on September 11 were Iranian citizens. Fifteen were from Saudi Arabia while the others were from the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Lebanon.
In July, excerpts of a long-classified congressional report on 9/11 were released, indicating that some of the hijackers had ties to Saudi government officials. However, no definitive comment has been made about the Saudi involvement.
The Saudi government has strongly denied any role in the incidents.
Last week, the US House of Representatives voted on a bill that would allow the family members of the 9/11 victims to sue the Saudi government. The bill will head to the White House, where US President Barack Obama is expected to veto it.

According to some commentators, obtaining a buy-to-let mortgage in Britain just got that little bit harder with the government's announcement of its plan to instigate a clampdown by raising stamp duty by an extra three percent. And the Bank of England seems to think that the move, along with several other measures targeted at the buy-to-let market, will work, predicting that it "will lead to a decrease in the number of cumulative new approvals for buy-to-let mortgages by about 10 to 20 percent by the third quarter of 2018".
One move, initiated by the Bank of England, will seek to ensure that lenders make more stringent assessments of whether landlords will receive enough rent to cover mortgage interest. Additionally, lenders will be obliged to take greater account of management costs together with the possible burden caused by future tax increases.
The moves comes as a response to the difficulties many would-be first-time buyers are experiencing in getting a foothold on the first rung of the property ladder, with chancellor George Osborne appearing to answer critics of current inequities by saying that "people buying a home to let should not be squeezing out families who can't afford a home to buy".
In the fifteen years since 2001 there has been a marked decline in the number of homes owned by families with a mortgage; in their stead a new class of buy-to-let landlords and small-time property investors has arisen; between 2007 and 2016 buy-to-let increased its representation in total mortgage lending by more than 100 percent while the number of people living in rented properties rose from 11.5 percent to 16.3 percent.
However, the good news for those looking to make the most of the buy-to-let mortgage market is that the impact of all the government's changes should be only relatively minor – with the increase in stamp duty for buy-to-let investors unlikely to make much of a difference to would-be first-time buyers. In fact, some experts predict that prices may drop slightly as a result of the increased stamp duty, meaning that the impact on buy-to-letters will be negligible if it is felt at all – some might say it is just a lot of political noise.
Although the Bank of England might claim to be taking a stricter stance, around 75 percent of its loans already meet its new borrowing standards and it has admitted that it still expects the buy-to-let market to grow by 17 percent a year.
However, this is not a view shared by everyone. For example, one mortgage broker told The Independent, "It is a worrying situation with echoes of 2014 when the Mortgage Market Review set down new affordability requirements. Back then, lenders interpreted the regulations in an overly cautious way, leading to some quite absurd decisions and refusals for borrowers who were plainly able to afford their mortgages. My concern is that this will happen again under the new proposals on buy-to-let."
This, it seems, is a minority view; it is reasonable to forecast bright days ahead for buy-to-let investors, even if there has been some slight occlusion of what remain predominantly blue skies.

Andrew Johnson's, who lives in New Zealand and is a Parkinson's sufferer, explains the effects of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) treatment in the video above. Andrew's testimonial is more than enough for the surgery.
The YouTube description of the video gives details about Andrew:
Andrew was diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson's Disease in 2009 when he was 35 years old. He lives with his wife and two children in Auckland, New Zealand. In November 2012 and February 2013 he underwent a surgical procedure, Deep Brain Stimulation surgery, to help control his motor symptoms. This has been hugely beneficial to his quality of life. He is the author of a blog youngandshaky.com which he created to raise awareness of the effects of Parkinson's Disease. This is his experience of how DBS has helped him and in the usual manner, results may vary.
In DBS Treatment, two probes are dropped into the brain and are then attached to a pace maker in the chest. The wire sends electricity to the brain which helps in controlling tremors.
Andrew has filmed the remarkable difference on tremors by turning on and off his neuro-stimulator in the video. He recommends the surgery to everyone else suffering from Parkinson.

The farmer's blow
I was going to let it go, but then he did it again, and finally a third time. With the third blow he spewed a viscous stream of cloudy mucous all over the brick wall of the alley. By this time, he had stopped walking, to focus better on the work in question.
As I walked by, I said to him in Chinese, "Damn, buy a Kleenex or something." He raised his head and and stared at me as I walked by, juicy snot peeking out of one nostril and dribbling down his upper lip. He didn't say one word back to me, but yet I suspect that he'll not be changing his nose blowing habits any time soon.

Fullerton, CA
LMU senior Jamie Bell netted the golden goal game-winner in the eighth minute of the first overtime to lift the visiting Lions to a 2-1 victory over host Cal State Fullerton on Thursday night in front of 394 fans at Titan Stadium. The Lions (3-3-1) win their third straight and gain some measure of triumph over the Titans, who eliminated LMU from last season's NCAA Tournament.
Bell struck with just under three minutes remaining in the first overtime period as junior Shannon Omahen sent a ball into the box from the right side that was settled by Bell and fired to the lower left post, beating Fullerton goalkeeper Shannon Simpson for the game-winning tally. The goal was Bell's second of the season and 10th of her career.
Fans barely had time to settle into their seats before the Titans struck for the first goal on the night. On a bang-bang sequence, Lauren Cram headed in to give the Titans the 1-0 lead just 51 seconds into the match.
The match remained that way until the 26th minute when LMU sophomore Jessica Sharpe netted the equalizer. Just seconds after checking into the game, Sharpe connected on a high header off a cross from sophomore Lacey Bartels to make it 1-1. The goal was the first of Sharpe's career.
The score remained that way for the rest of the first half and a hard-fought second half that saw three yellow cards.
Senior GK Joslyn Slovek remained strong in goal for the Lions to gain the win, making three saves to move all alone into second place on the school's career list.
Kerri Ward and Shannon Simpson split time in the CSUF goal, each allowing one goal. Simpson made one save.
Cal State Fullerton outshot Loyola Marymount 9-7 for the match but the Lions had a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks to keep the pressure on. It was LMU's first victory over the Titans since 1998, snapping a three-match losing streak.
After gaining its first road win of the year, LMU returns home for a five-match home stand, beginning Sunday at 11 a.m. against Fresno State.

Anyway, I have a couple of free days this week so yesterday, I had a little trip to the hospital to see my friend Robert who has been very ill recently. He is still in Intensive Care but was awake and moving his arms and leg a bit and actually smiled at me a few times. We even held hands too which is fantastic considering he was unconscious last week. It looks like he is slowly getting better, thank goodness.
Well...tomorrow is Craft club and it is 2 years since we got up and running. I can't believe it. I am so pleased and very thankful to all my lovely members who come along every week through wind and rain. They are a wonderful group of ladies and I love each and every one of them. So tomorrow evening, we will have our usual crafting session with the raffle and we will celebrate as we craft with sweets and laughter. We will also be officially naming our club. After many weeks of pondering over names and ideas, we finally came up with 'Meet the Flockers'!!! Isn't that funny?! The ladies started using the flocking powders recently and love them so much that every week they just crack jokes with the word 'flock' in them. So if you have used flocking yourself and also enjoy comedy films like 'Meet the Fockers' you will understand how the name became very appropriate for the club. I am really looking forward to our meeting tomorrow night. I am proud that my little club is still going 2 years later...fantastic!!!
Have a good day everyone!
Love Sheila x

Safety equipment stuffs the SLS' gullwing body to the max, but we'll probably never know how well it would score in a crash test. Neither NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) nor the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) have tested it and likely never will, due to its price and exclusivity.
The 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG's safety gear includes six airbags, as well as stability and traction control. The stability system has three modes: full, Sport with some wheelspin, and "off," which experts can turn off at their own risk. "You can dial those things out of the SLS entirely if you want, along with most of the stability control, but do you want to?" MotorAuthority asks. "It's a bit easy to get into the throttle too hard and break the rear tires loose and get into oversteer, even with the stability control in the intermediate Sport mode," Edmunds reports. The stability control never really goes away entirely, Jalopnik explains: "While you can push enough buttons to make it say 'ESP-OFF', that doesn't fully shut down the system, with it still moderating acceleration-related wheelspin and re-engaging automatically the second you tap the brakes."
Visibility is a major issue in the SLS in reverse gear-there's a rearview camera to help-but to the other angles, it's no problem. "Provided the pop-up spoiler is down, visibility out back is good," Motor Trend states, "though it's also difficult to judge where it ends. As you discover, it's about a yard shorter than expected."

The human body contains over 10 times more microbial cells than human cells, although the entire micro biome only accounts for about for 1-3% total body mass. Hundreds of trillions of microbes live in the human gut, with 300 times the total DNA as humans. The products of this "forgotten organ" include large amounts of DNA that are critical to create necessary human nutrients, for essential metabolism and to develop the most effective immune system. Recent research shows dramatic effects of microbe products from the gut on mental function—depression, stress, autism, and degenerative illness. In humans, many studies show microbes affect anxiety, mood, depression and social behavior. Direct effects are through secreted products, stimulation of the enteric nervous system and travel of microbes into the brain, while indirect factors are microbes' influence on immune function affecting behavior. Microbes produce molecules that transform into hormones and neurotransmitters or they produce neurotransmitters themselves. Microbes effect on the brain includes fetal development and neurotransmitter function.
Increasing evidence suggests that the composition of the human gut microbiome is important in the etiology of human diseases; however, the personal factors that influence the gut microbiome composition are poorly characterized. Animal models point to sex hormone-related differentials in microbiome composition. In this study, we investigated the relationship of sex, body mass index (BMI) and dietary fiber intake with the gut microbiome in 82 humans. We sequenced fecal 16S rRNA genes by 454 FLX technology, then clustered and classified the reads to microbial genomes using the QIIME pipeline. Relationships of sex, BMI, and fiber intake with overall gut microbiome composition and specific taxon abundances were assessed by permutational MANOVA and multivariate logistic regression, respectively. We found that sex was associated with the gut microbiome composition overall (p=0.001). The gut microbiome in women was characterized by a lower abundance of Bacteroidetes (p=0.03). BMI (>25 kg/m2 vs. <25 kg/m2) was associated with the gut microbiome composition overall (p=0.05), and this relationship was strong in women (p=0.03) but not in men (p=0.29). Fiber from beans and from fruits and vegetables were associated, respectively, with greater abundance of Actinobacteria (p=0.006 and false discovery rate adjusted q=0.05) and Clostridia (p=0.009 and false discovery rate adjusted q=0.09). Our findings suggest that sex, BMI, and dietary fiber contribute to shaping the gut microbiome in humans. Better understanding of these relationships may have significant implications for gastrointestinal health and disease prevention.
Get Omega-3s from Plants—Not Fish Oil
Omega-3 supplements don't keep your brain healthy, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers followed 4,000 patients over a five-year period and found that the supplements don't slow cognitive decline.
It's not the first time the supposed benefits of omega-3 supplements—typically derived from fish oil—have been debunked. Recent studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, and Archives of Internal Medicine all found that supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids does not improve heart health. Omega-3 supplements may also increase men's risk of developing prostate cancer.
Omega-3 fatty acids are important in the normal functioning of all tissues of the body, but they are best obtained through a plant-based diet, not fish oil supplements.

Can you imagine a mushroom so powerfully good for you…
That its called the Mushroom of Immortality?
That it is painted into artwork carried by Gods and Goddesses in China?
That it is literally carved into the stone of Shaolin Temples?
That is has a history of being the #1 herb in all of Chinese Medicine, which is being well studied to back up the claims scientifically in both the East and the West?
That many top herbalists say the world would be an infinitely better place if every single human consumed this mushroom every day of their life?
Think that this might be something worth investigating for yourself?
Think it might be worth consuming on a daily basis?
I'm talking about Reishi mushroom, also known as Ling Zhi or Ganoderma Lucidum.
Read more about it here and get some for yourself.
Estrogens vs. Androgens
We live in a world of estrogen dominance and this is a leading factor in many of the health problems people face today. To investigate this we'll discuss what estrogens and androgens are, the many effects of estrogen dominance, how we become overloaded with four bad kinds of estrogens, and lastly what you can do about it.
This article is important for both men and women. Women have much more estrogen than men. Men have many more androgens then women. But both genders have both. And both are affected by the modern day environment to become estrogen dominant in a way that undermines their health and performance.
There are many hormones in the body, in fact, there's over 240 of them. For this discussion we need to dive into a few of these varieties. Estrogen is not just one hormone, but a class of several different forms.
So its important to note that while all estrogens are necessary in both men and women, especially women, their effects will depend on the ratio and amounts of them.
As we'll discuss in more depth, estrogen dominance is an overburdening of excess estrogens, especially of the "bad kinds", leading to all sorts of health issues.
Having your androgenic hormones working properly will allow you to build and retain muscle mass better, support weight loss, enhance sex drive and function, increase "zest and vitality" and a sense of well-being in life, and even support cognitive function.
In addition to these effects for both sexes, androgens serve as the precursors to estrogens. So the androgens are required as precursors to some of the hormones they need and must be converted.
So just what will estrogen dominance do to you? Here's a list of a variety of illnesses and problems it can contribute to.
Age Related Decline
Unfortunately, after puberty our "healthy" hormones, in both men and women go on a decline that appears to last the rest of our lives. It appears we're made to become men and women, and be able to pass on our genes, peaking in our 20's, then it's a slow decline from there.
Eventually, this leads to menopause in women and andropause in men. Both of these occur when the hormones have suffered enough to lead to some massive changes in the body.
While this is a natural process it can be "put off", and certainly become an easier transition, by taking the right steps to support your hormones. The whole field of anti-aging is largely about keeping your hormones at the healthful levels of your youth.
Aromatase is an enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens. While necessary, this can become a problem especially in men if it is being done too much. If so, this takes all the hormones that would give you health and vitality and convert them into something that does the opposite.
A variety of factors, like too much toxicity and impaired detoxification can contribute to increased aromatization.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
SHBG, as the name suggests, is a protein that binds to androgens making them unavailable for use in the body. This and other binding molecules are the difference between total and free testosterone. The sad fact is that testosterone can't deliver its benefits if it's bound up. While SHBG serves its role in the body, once again, too much can contribute to estrogen dominance.
As previously mentioned the modern day environment is the biggest contributor to estrogen dominance and all of the problems that it brings. Here we'll explore just how prevalent these estrogens are in our everyday lives.
The different types of estrogens can be classed in a number of ways.
From pesticides, chemicals, plastics and more. Common sources include:
These estrogenic compounds are found in nature. If we lived in a "natural" world these probably would not be a problem, but in combination with the other estrogens it is best to avoid these completely.
While many people in the field of health are aware of the problematic effects of heavy metal toxicity it is not well known that these metals contribute to estrogen dominance. Heavy metals contaminated products include:
These toxins are from various fungi that contaminant many foods.
The best thing you can do is limit your exposure to all of the above. But because these things are everywhere that's a tall order even for the most health-conscious of people.
Because of all of the estrogens in the environment our androgens, for both men and women, need support.
Even if we do everything we can, and let's face the truth, that very few people are, avoiding estrogens is like a losing a war against an over-whelming enemy.
So let's bring in the CAVALRY.
Earlier we discussed phyto-estrogens. These are estrogen mimicking compounds in various plant foods. While some may serve a purpose, the problem is with all the other estrogens, it is probably best to avoid these as much as possible.
Many people in the field of health are aware of these. But most are not aware of phyto-androgens. Part of this reason is that these are far more rare.
Luckily there is one substance that is fully loaded with them, the pollen of pine trees. (As a side note, pine nuts do contain some androgens, but in much smaller amounts.)
Pine pollen, as the male reproductive part of a pine tree, has many phyto-androgens.
Pine pollen contains gibberellins which are structurally very similar to testosterone. In fact, they have been found to actually connect with testosterone receptors in the human body. Basically, they can mimic testosterone in the body and, as Stephan Harrold Buhner tells us in his book The Natural Testosterone Plan, "because of their adrenal and pituitary actions, they stimulate androgen production in the body; energy levels increase." They act as prostate regulators, upregulating when the prostate is too small (one study had castrated rats keep their prostates from shrinking) and down regulate when the prostate is too big and inflamed. They are also anticancerous and anti-inflammatory in the rest of the body.
Pine pollen also contains over 30 different kinds of brassinosteroids.Two of these brassinosteroids are used in the mechanism through which the liver safely removes xenoestrogens and other chemicals from the body. They have strong antiviral actions and are, "considered to be highly novel steroidal compounds with unique anticancer actions while possessing very low toxicity."
Pine pollen has substances that are similar to testosterone, DHEA, androstenedione, androsterone and more. And that's not all. Its chock full of nutrition with over 200 bioactive antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other super nutrients.
Understand that this is not like hormone replacement therapy. These are small amounts of hormones, but combined with the intelligence of all the necessary co-factors found in pine pollen. This doesn't boost your hormones to unsafe levels, but instead helps to educate your body towards a more normal or optimized function.
We believe this is such an important superfood for people living today that we've made high quality pine pollen available at a low price. Go here now to get the full details and pick up your bag.

I like watching the ships sailing by.
Ships are the muse of the sea.
They're the dancers of a musette, the play of life.
Joggling inside the palm of the waves, without comfort and control,
and at the mercy of of the sea.
The ocean and it's vastness, with it's beguile equanimity,
a theatrical affirmation of life which one should accepts
what's left behind and welcomes of which will enter.
The beauty I've seen, the one truly revealed to me,
will always challenge my gazing eyes and prevails
until I'll come to know as the day of my death.
Becoming an observer, the truth you cannot see,
it's called the only reality.
Many lives have been wasted in the search of love,
trust and faith, when everything I was longing for,
is right in front of me.
I wish for me to change the world.
The evil and injustice, which brings my eyes to tears.
The mantra I've to call upon is change begins with me.
To heal its own imperfection, to strive for better days,
the power given, the grace perceived,
will touch a thousand people,
I'll have to prepare for this.

http;//www.longplays.org Played By MadMatty SNES Version of Top gear 2. Longplayed to compare with Genesis version (and unrecorded Amiga version) Which was the best verson, SNES or Genesis? Come to our Forums and discuss. www.longplays.org First off the game is too damned long!. 16 x 4 (64) races. Shouldnt be attempted in one sitting. The Amiga version seems to be bases on this verson although it has a larger screen area at the cost of frame rate. The music is very Amiga like which sits well with me. As a fan of the Lotus games, this game seems to be a backwards step concidering there both from Gremlin. The game engine is slow and the position of the camera makes it hard to see the road ahead. The fuel guage seems errornous as there is no fuel to collect. (Maybe a time limit ? I never ran out of fuel). Big issue with the game is the sound. The loud engine will give you a headache and its cuts into the low volume music. How the dev couldnt develop 7 channel tune and leave 1 channel for snd is mindblowing (as in wtf?) Another let down in a racing game with a crappy end screen. I let the title music rn right through at the end of the video.

A 20-year-old man who posted nude photographs of his ex-girlfriend on Facebook was sentenced to six months' jail in a landmark legal case.
In the first social networking-related conviction in Australian history, Ravshan "Ronnie" Usmanov pleaded guilty to publishing an indecent article.
He was initially sentenced to six months' home detention, but on appeal the sentence was suspended, The Sun-Herald reported.
The court heard that Usmanov posted six photographs of his ex-girlfriend -- showing her "nude in certain positions and clearly showing her breasts and genitalia" -- on his Facebook page in October last year.
He then emailed the woman, who had ended the relationship about three months earlier and moved out of their home, saying, "Some of your photos are now on Facebook".
After demanding Usmanov take down the photos, the woman reported the incident to police.
According to the newspaper, Usmanov told police, "I put the photos up because she hurt me and it was the only thing [I had] to hurt her."
Deputy Chief Magistrate Jane Mottley said as she sentenced Usmanov that she was "deterring both the offender and the community generally from committing similar crimes."
"New-age technology through Facebook gives instant access to the world. Facebook as a social networking site has limited boundaries. Incalculable damage can be done to a person's reputation by the irresponsible posting of information through that medium," she added.
"With its popularity and potential for real harm, there is a genuine need to ensure the use of this medium to commit offenses of this type is deterred."
David Vaile, the executive director of the cyberspace law and policy center at the University of New South Wales, said physical crimes were yet to be taken as seriously as harassment online.
"In this case, he didn't slash her tires in an act of revenge. He slashed her reputation," he said.
Originally published as Man jailed for posting nude photos of ex online
