SLOUGH, England — Second-quarter net revenue increased to 2.34 billion pounds ($3.83 billion) for Reckitt Benckiser, the company announced in an earnings statement Monday.
The company attributed its increases to growth in developing markets. For the quarter, RB said net revenue increased by 13% and 5% on a like-for-like basis. LFL growth excludes the impact of changes in exchange rates, major acquisitions and disposals, RB noted.
"Growth in the base business was driven in particular by an excellent result in developing markets, and was boosted by innovations, such as the continued rollout of the Dettol no-touch hand soap system into new markets, as well as a significant level of investment in media and promotional spend," Reckitt Benckiser CEO Bart Becht said.
The company said that it fears that its heroin dependency treatment Suboxone will lose its patent protection in the United States, thus opening up the market for generic competition.
"At the end of June 2011, the Suboxone film had captured a 41% volume share of the U.S. market: as a result, Suboxone tablets in the U.S. now represent less than 50% of total RBP net revenue," Becht noted.
The company added that it expects to achieve an increase of 12% for its full-year revenues.

Observations: Friday
By Fred Albers, PGATOUR.COM Correspondent
PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico -- Every week on the PGA TOUR there are players who get both good and bad tee times. Sometimes a golfer is called to the tee and it seems like a giant fan is flipped on and he plays the entire round in high wind. The same holds true for rainstorms.
Over the course of a season, the good and bad times even out just like good and bad bounces during the course of a round.
Those players who completed two rounds of golf on Friday at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba had the good tee times this week.
Robert Karlsson combined good weather with good shots. So did Kevin Stadler. Both were able to complete their opening rounds and then move right into the second round with little break between play. Stadler and Karlsson were both playing well and retained that momentum for not just one round but for half the tournament.
Good bounce: Jhonattan Vegas knew he hit a bad tee shot as soon as it left the clubface. His drive on the second hole headed left and was diving deep into the mangroves until it the trunk of a tree. The ball not only ricocheted away from the mangroves, it landed in the fairway. Vegas could have been taking a drop, instead he had a perfect lie and angle to the green. He hit his approach to 10 feet and lipped out the birdie. That mangrove tee saved Vegas one and possibly two shots.
Scoring holes: The stretch of holes 5-6-7 offer a great chance to pick up birdies. The stretch has a pair of par 5s with a short par 4 in between. Robert Karlsson has played that stretch in 6 under, recording six birdies. Kevin Stadler is 3 under through two trips over that three-hole stretch.
Pace: Chris Stroud is sensitive to the heat. He has fair skin and makes sure to apply sunscreen and then reapply during the course of the round. Stroud takes the further precaution of walking under the shade of an umbrella. When playing in tropical climates, he says he paces himself on the golf course to conserve energy. With high heat and humidity the El Camaleon course became a sweatbox on Friday afternoon.
Refreshing: Karlsson took time out to wash his hand during the round. It wasn't for sanitary measures; it was to help with the feel of his grip. In hot and humid conditions Karlsson likes cold water on his hands to reduce swelling and to remove any sweat or grim that accumulated.
Wildlife: The cavern in the seventh fairway is intimidating on its own but the sinkhole featured a pair of guardians on Friday. Crawling back and forth, just inside the entrance, were a pair of iguanas. It was not hard to spot the lizards; they were both in excess of 3 feet long. Meanwhile over at the second hole, it appeared a whole family of iguanas had taken up residence and were sunning themselves in the afternoon heat.

Measure Your Feet Day — If you want to know what someone is really like, take a look at their feet, according to Dr. Nancy Sax, the world's leading personality on feet analysis.
- Second toe larger than the others: You're the dependable, conservative type who always keeps your emotions in check. These types fare very well in the fields of medicine, banking and science. They're good providers, but don't expect any excitement or fireworks.
- Big third toe: Look out! These unpredictable types have hot-and-cold personalities, they're totally charming one moment then erupt in a volcanic fit of anger the next.
- Big baby toe: These people spread sunshine wherever they go.
- Long toes: The sign of great intellectual capacity – these are the thinkers of the world. Authors, philosophers and great world leaders often have very long toes.
- Little toes: These folks don't like to make a scene. But their little toes don't mean you can walk all over them! When backed up against the wall, they'll stand up and fight.
- Wide feet: These folks are the backbone of society, the hard workers who have strong family values and dedication to their church, family and community.
- Narrow feet: The shy, quiet type who don't like to draw attention to themselves. Beneath the shy exteriors is a relaxed, well-balanced person.
- Webbed toes: A fun person who won't duck a good time! These extroverts are the life-of-the party types and make great salesmen and entertainers.

In Reply to: Toeing The Line? posted by ESC on July 08, 2003
: :
: : anyone know the definition of "toeing the line"? (alt:"towing the line"?)
: : I have never heard this phrase before but from the context it was used I think I know the meaning but would like to make sure.
: : thanks.
: TOE THE LINE ? ?Meet a standard; be up to snuff. The ?line? is the mark that appears in the incantation, ?On your mark, get set, go!? It is the starting point for a foot race. In the broader sense the term appeared in ?Westminister Gazette? in 1895: ?The phrase ?toeing the line? is very much in favour with some Liberals.?? From "The Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985).
If you are asked toe the line the you are expected to conform to the rules of the situation. In one suggested origin the Line actually exists and is found in the House of Commons. It was put there to mark the sword distance between Government and Opposition front benches. Members were told to toe the line if, in the eyes of the Speaker, they became too excited.
A less romantic possible basis is found in athletics where the runners in a race line up with their toes on the line.
The US navy has a completely different origin. From their web site comes:
The space between each pair of deck planks in a wooden ship was filled with a packing material called "oakum" and then sealed with a mixture of pitch and tar. The result, from afar, was a series of parallel lines a half-foot or so apart, running the length of the deck.
Once a week, as a rule, usually on Sunday, a warship's crew was ordered to fall in at quarters -- that is, each group of men into which the crew was divided would line up in formation in a given area of the deck. To insure a neat alignment of each row, the Sailors were directed to stand with their toes just touching a particular seam.
Another use for these seams was punitive. The youngsters in a ship, be they ship's boys or student officers, might be required to stand with their toes just touching a designated seam for a length of time as punishment for some minor infraction of discipline, such as talking or fidgeting at the wrong time. A tough captain might require the miscreant to stand there, not talking to anyone, in fair weather or foul, for hours at a time. Hopefully, he would learn it was easier and more pleasant to conduct himself in the required manner rather than suffer the punishment.
From these two uses of deck seams comes our cautionary word to obstreperous youngsters to "toe the line."

The Conjuring (15, 112 mins)
Director: James Wan
4 stars
With the cycle of bloodily unpleasant horror movies hopefully behind us for a while, well told ghost stories seem to be making a comeback to cinema screens.
At the forefront of these is director James Wan, who ironically was largely responsible for setting off the torture years with the first Saw film a decade ago.
But with his Insidious a couple of years back, he demonstrated that chills from simple things could be effective without the need for blood, harking back to the great haunted house movies of the 1960s like The Haunting and The Innocents.
The set-up for The Conjuring is the standard drill of the family moving in to a new home, one that just happens to have a boarded-up cellar. Soon they're being besieged by bad smells, cold snaps, and clocks stopping at the same time every night.
It's all part of a carefully built atmosphere by Wan, who uses light and shadows, creaky doors and bumps in the night to create a sense of growing dread, and that's all before the investigators even get there.
Wan borrows his Insidious star Patrick Wilson to play real life paranormal researcher Ed Warren, while Vera Farmiga is his wife, Lorraine, who has a gift for clairvoyance.
The Conjuring is based on what is said to be their most sensitive and alarming case, a haunting that took place in Rhode Island in 1971.
At its core are real people to care about, with Farmiga at the centre quite superb as a loving mother and steely investigator.
But layered on top of that is horror exactly as it should be done, and once the Warrens arrive to help the family, the set pieces escalate to terrifying effect.
They may be comprised of often familiar elements, but there's still a freshness to the gags, helped by great sound design and expert pacing.
Wan has complete confidence in his camera and what it reveals, letting the viewer's eye linger over the frame, so you can see what might be there.
It could be argued that with its calm surface, gliding camera and autumnal chill, he's watched The Exorcist one too many times, but the fact that The Conjuring is able to compete almost on that level is a miracle, and it shouldn't detract from a first rate chiller that delivers genuine spooks, near-constant goosebumps, and that's heart-stopping in its best moments.
James Wan is a horror director at the pinnacle of his trade, and we should cherish him, and rejoice in the fact that we only have to wait until next month for his Insidious: Chapter 2.

The Heat (15, 117 mins)
Director: Paul Feig
4 stars
The director of Bridesmaids returns with another raucous comedy that stars Sandra Bullock as a hotshot, by-the-book FBI agent.
Keen to get her boss's job, she's sent on an assignment where if she does well she'll get the promotion, but this looks unlikely when she ends up forced to team with Melissa McCarthy's crazed, foul-mouthed cop.
It's a classic odd couple set-up, with these opposites banging against each other as they work the fairly incomprehensible case looking for a drug kingpin.
There's a lot of improvised silliness, which means that as usual with these things it goes on far longer than is ideal, but at least we're in the presence of first rate performers in Bullock and McCarthy.
They generate consistently solid laughs, partly from the characters, partly from McCarthy doing or saying outrageous things, but there's a strong narrative flow rather than just a bunch of sketches, and The Heat continues what's been a fairly decent summer for movie comedy.

The Smurfs 2 (U, 105 mins)
Director: Raja Gosnell
3 stars
Having hauled in over half a billion dollars worldwide with their first adventure, the return of the tiny blue Smurfs was inevitable.
This agreeable sequel finds Smurfette (voiced by Katy Perry) worrying about her place among the Smurfs, since she was a creation of evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) until Papa Smurf turned her blue and made her one of their own.
Gargamel meanwhile, defeated in the first film, is now a famed magician in Paris and has a plan to harness the Smurfs' essence and take over the world.
There's also Neil Patrick Harris and his family returning from the first film and pitching in to help the Smurfs, though this does mean the film can get rather too bogged down in human subplots that will make tots itchy.
But if they liked the first Smurfs movie they'll like this, and the computer graphics used to realise the Smurfs is tip-top, while Azaria doesn't short change with a full-blown zany performance.

Red 2 (12A, 116 mins)
Director: Dean Parisot
3 stars
Former agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is still retired, but old cohort John Malkovich wants him back in this goofy spy sequel, convinced that the CIA are after them because of a shady operation 30 years before.
The details of this are gobbledegook as far as audiences are concerned but it's come back to haunt the CIA, who want Frank and his pals dead, sending international assassins (including Helen Mirren) on their trail, though for all the people supposedly out to kill them, they get left to their own devices for pretty much half the film.
It's silly, fun stuff, too daft to be concerned about, with run of the mill chases and crunchy action.
There's an easygoing affability that could be mistaken for lethargy, but it's the skills of its stars that really keeps it motoring.

Only God Forgives (18, 90 mins)
Director: Nicolas Winding Refn
2 stars
To Thailand, where Ryan Gosling's near-silent drug dealer gets mixed up in a cycle of violence and retribution after his brother kills a prostitute and the local police chief allows the girl's father to take his revenge on the brother.
Though a stylishly weird mood-piece, ominous and overblown and soaked in red light and blood, it's actually a straightforward set-up, dressed in gaudy Christmas lights and narrative trickery.
As the camera endlessly glides down dingy corridors, an emotionless Gosling will bore you rigid, while Kristin Scott Thomas shows up in a piece of stunt casting as his monstrous mother.
If it could cut out the surreal interludes, there's power to the themes and individual scenes, but as it stands Only God Forgives has the look and all the depth of an after shave commercial.

November Product of the Month – Pantene Pro-V's Nature Fusion
It wasn't a coincidence that every 3-5 days or so, The Beauty Bug was having good hair days and getting comments and compliments from Her co-workers. "Your hair looks thicker" one said, followed by " Your hair looks so healthy and shiny." The product behind the praise ? Pantene Pro-V's Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Shampoo and Conditioner. In short, it's calisthenics for your hair.
Let's rewind a bit. The Beauty Bug was never a Pantene girl. It was always just another bottle on the shelf at the drugstore. On the rare occasions that She did use it, Her hair was often too soft and hard to style. But, after their new Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Shampoo and Conditioner won a Best of Allure Beauty Breakthrough Award, She had to give the brand another try. Intrigued by the claims, and the buzz, She added the shampoo and conditioner duo to Her product rotation.
The secret ingredient causing the stir is the cassia flower, a close relative to cinnamon that's native to India. A key isolated polymer (large molecule) from the plant adheres to hair and forms a netting when hair is wet and in its weakest state; protecting hair from the friction of fingers and combs. The polymer acts as a shield and within a week, hair is stronger and less susceptible to breakage. As the polymer evaporates, conditioning silicones and fatty acids are left behind and they work to seal the cuticle, providing strength against damage from root to tip. And, Voilà! Calisthenics for your hair.
When Allure consulted an expert, they were nothing but impressed both with the studies, the evidence, and with the short length of time it took to see results.
Other ingredients in this all-star pair include aloe vera and ginger. It possess Pantene's signature smell, but is just a bit more fresh and a bit more floral. The light moisturizing formula didn't weigh down The Beauty Bug's hair at all, and the conditioning properties are off the charts. After continued use for about two weeks, The Beauty Bug's hair was tangibly healthier, softer (but not too soft!) and stronger, and less broken hair was in Her comb.
Pantene's Nature Fusion line is available at drugstores nationwide for $3.99.

Noted American computer programmer and creator of the first commercial anti-virus program, John McAfee claimed that he and his team were able to read encrypted messages from WhatsApp after exploiting a supposed flaw in the Android operating system.

Investigations made by a reputed online technology website following McAfee's claims found that the had made the hack work by sending malware-infected phones to reporters.
John McAfee explained that the whole point of this exercise was to expose a serious flaw in the Android architecture. He accepted that the phones had malware on them but that how they got there is the story and added that his team would release further information after consulting with Google.
John McAfee's computer security software company McAfee, Inc, has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel since February 2011 and now forms part of its Intel Security division. Intel confirmed in 2014 that it planned to drop the McAfee brand.
WhatsApp rolled out end-to-end encryption to its users in April this year. Announcing the development in a blog post, WhatsApp founder Jan Koum said the latest version of the app will encrypt every call, message, photo, video, file and voice message that is sent on the platform by default, including group chats.
"No one can see inside that message. Not cyber criminals. Not hackers. Not oppressive regimes. Not even us. End-to-end encryption helps make communication via WhatsApp private, sort of like a face-to-face conversation," he said.

An experienced hiker whose tennis shoes were unsuitable for winter conditions was rescued Christmas Day in the San Jacinto Mountains.
The 35-year-old San Diego man, described as an avid, experienced hiker, set out from the Pacific Crest Trailhead on Saturday, Dec. 22 and was reported missing from his pickup point at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
Members of the Riverside County Mountain Rescue Unit, a Riverside County sheriff's helicopter and Cal Fire rescuers were called to the Devil's Slide Trailhead in Idyllwild to search for him. He was found at 4:12 p.m. Tuesday.
The man was "cold and wet, and sheltered in his tent after discovering his tennis shoes were not suitable for the December snow and ice prevalent in the mountains," the Sheriff's Department wrote in a news release. He was treated for minor hypothermia, but declined further treatment.
The Sheriff's Department cautioned hikers to carry proper equipment for outdoor excursions, to have a well thought-out travel plan with friends and family and to be familiar with common hiking equipment. That includes GPS devices, maps and compasses, cell phones, proper clothing and plenty of water.

what's wrong with "only having 1" ?(122 Posts)
does/has anyone else have these kind of responses when you tell people you are sticking with having 1 child?
" oh don't worry , you'll change your mind " (with a half smile on thier face)
" not to worry, it'll happen ",
" uh "
" what for / why would you do that to dc ?"
a totally blank face
I'm as I'm not worried at all. My partner & I have very clear reasons for this which we are very happy about.
I just don't quite understand why people think they have to take it upon themselves to try and change our minds about it & that somehow were doing something wrong by just having 1 ?
Any thoughts / support from anyone else who is happy with their decission to only have 1 & has suffered this?
I agree pixiewitch , if people have one others feel the right to comment yet I would not dream of going up to anyone and saying " wow why have you got 5 kids why " ......
Lonely only, my big fat backside.
I do ask people about that theory (DS is one of one) when they say they are only children, and no, they don't feel lonely or hard done by. How can you miss what you haven't had?
I am one of many and can count the number of times I speak to the rest of the members of the brood each year on one hand. Only one remembered my birthday this year. I was very lonely as a child, despite all the siblings.
>If you have very ggod reasons, ie you really can't afford it, health, infertility etc then fine.
>Otherwise, it is unfair on the lonley only, sorry
Patronising bollocks. My DD is an only and she's not lonely. About half her primary school classmates were onlies. Nice bunch of kids (so were the ones with sibs, to be fair)
Having more kids than you want because you've been pressured into it by interfering idiots, that would be unfair all round.
IRL I've never had any of this judgey crap come my way.
wow why have you got five kids why? actually i have 5 and people do say that! or oh you must be mad, or poor you or dont you have a tv, ha ha ha.
i have 5 because we wanted a large family, equally i have friends with less, mainly 2, some only have one and i assume that is what they wanted, unless it comes up in conversation ie THEY bring it up, i dont ask, i am happy with my lot, they are happy with theirs and the only children i know dont seem lonely, ds3 is good friends with a little girl who is an only, she is a lovely little girl and her parents and her seem very happy.
whatever you do as a parent, someone, somewhere will judge you, its partly human nature, partly bloody rudeness. i just get on with my life and ignore or make a witty/sarcastic remark to those that say things to me, depending on my mood.
Dancing - I'm an only child. A perfectly happy and normal human being thanks a lot.
I wasn't crippled with loneliness, spoiled rotten or indulged. I had a normal upbringing by two loving parents and I turned out pretty well I think.
4madboys - I'm one of five , and someon once said to my mother " are they all from the same dad "? I won't say what my mum said !
Thanks for your scientific survey dancing - your DH wanted to siblings therefore all onlies are lonely . I was an only - I wasn't lonely. My DH has a number of siblings and HATED being in a big family, which is why he wants one child. That is equally ill-researched. Try looking at the actually evidence out there. Unahappy/lonely children exist in all sorts of families and occur because all of all sorts of reasons. The number/existence of siblings isnt the key factor.
I'm glad to see I'm not alone - just a shame to see that people (who don't have 1) feel the need to say something about it.
I was truely astounded by the (negative) response of the RL I know (& the ones I didn't) about our decision !
Dinosaurhunter : yes that is so true - I'd never say to anyone anything about the fact they had more than 1, 2, 3 or what ever...
actually, on a slightly diverting note: i saw the programme on recently about larger families. I noticed that I did have some pre-conceived ideas about certain aspects of huge families, but after/during watching the programme, I had to seriously totally change my mind. it was a great & positive revelation to me.
I still don't get why people think it's ok to try to change my mind about having 1?
maybe I'll never understand !
to bad !
you know, just because your husband says something - it doesn't mean it's actually true for everyone. It might that your husband just wasn't very sociable?
I have DSis and I wished almost every night that I didn't, between the ages of about 3 and 17.
It is also a ridiculous statement to make that it's 'fine' if they're an only due to infertility, or whatever it was on your approved list, but not fine for any other reason. Why would the reason make a difference?
dinosaur someone once said to me, that it was obvious all my boys have the same father! and how nice it was to see a young mum who obviously hasnt slept around and had lots of kids with different men i 'think' it was meant to be a compliment! it is true my boys all look VERY similar, same blue eyes and blonde hair, my 14mth old dd also looks very similar to the boys. but seriously, what i should have said was 'no i only sleep with aryan men'....
the other assumption i get is that we 'kept going' to get a girl....... no we wanted 4, adn then got to four and half thought about having one more, assumign we would have another boy! dd is our 'bonus' baby. i am very happy with my family, my sister has recently had a baby and only wants one, that is her choice and it wouldnt occur to me to question/criticise it! she is happy and that is fine by me, equally she is happy that i am happy with my 5. we all have different lives, with different circumstances and make choices that we are happy with. if we were all the same it would be a very dull world!
i dont understand why other people care how many children other people have, it isnt my life or my choice and doesnt impact me in anyway, why would i be bothered?
Dancing: I'm one of three and its one of the reasons we are seriously considering only having one. There is nothing half as lonely as never speaking to siblings who cut you out of everything.
There are also practical considerations to do with having had a difficult (not high risk, but very limiting) pregnancy, career issues and not currently feeling I want more than one child in the way we did the first.
PMSL at dancingontheice
I am an only; I am sooo sad, sooo lonely, sooo maladjusted.
Hmmm, don't think so. I do notice that I am overjoyed that my parents want to move to be nearer me, whereas my DH won't answer the phone in the evening in case it is his mother (who did the 'right' thing and had 3 children of mixed sex and devoted her life to them absolutely and completely).
That doesn't mean, however, that I think all of those people fortunate enough to have three children will necessarily feel the need to treat them as 6 year olds for the rest of their lives - it is just one person!
I should say to be fair that DH has two lovely siblings and I would also be overjoyed if either of them were to come and move near to us!
As someone sensibly said above, onlys are much like eldest children or those with only 1 sibling - those with more siblings or lower down the birth order would appear from studies to have a different (not worse or better, only different) family experience on the average.
I shouldn't worry about the psychology of being an only child, but you should think about the long term - what if something goes wrong? (It really can). Or if it is a girl and she chooses not to have children how will you feel? Or if it is a boy he chooses to move to the other side of the planet and you only get to skype him once a month?
You home will become emptier that much more quickly - although to some that may be an advantage. I regret not having a third as something did go wrong.
<ridiculous comment alert>
In fact, I know my reason.
I am only having one child because my next door neighbour has 6 children so it is likely that my 2nd child (if I had one) wouldn't get onto the school bus because neighbours children had taken all the seats......
Some only chidren will doubtless be wishing they had siblings, some children in bigger families will doubtelss be wishing they had no siblings, or fewer siblings, some onlyies will be as happy as larry...and so on and so on.
It really is pretty..er..limited thinking to come to any conclusion based on one case. In any context.
And rude, opinionated and insensitive to come out with those conclusions in a patronising manner...as in 'sorry' and 'shame' etc. Actually you don't know better than anyone else just because you know one only child.
j"ust a shame to see that people (who don't have 1) feel the need to say something about it."
well i have 5 and i said something about it! is there something wrong in that? i said that i get comments for having 5 and i also said that i dont care how many children people have, if they are happy its their choice, equally i am happy with my choice and it wouldnt occur to me to question or judge someone for how many children they do or do not have.
pixiewitch - the moral of the story is that people will spout crap on each and every area of parenting. Size of family, sex of children, eating chocolate or not eating chocolate, age of parent, cause of disability, 'spoiling' babies, and so it goes on and on and on.
I know what you are saying jifnotcif....but my MIL and FIL have 4 children, and rarely speak to any of them, let alone see them. Now that is because of what went on in the home in childhood, but it goes to illustrate the point that having more than one isn't insurance against heartache/loneliness/estrangement.
My aunt has three children, all of whom live on the other side of the world.'
Its your choise how many children you have and just tell other people to keep their beaks out.
But on the discussion on lonely only ....
Im one of four and love my sisters.
DP has a brother and they havent spoken in years.
I have 2 boys who are ten years apart in age and I really cant see then staying close when they get older.
When I see a huge family I snort 'that's greedy!' but in reality, much as I would have loved a big family, its just not a possibility!
I think it is a shame that the only poster who made comments similar to the one that the OP mentioned did not answer the OP by telling us why she felt the need to give her opinion to us parents of only children.
'I only posted as it was never an issue for my dp & I until we started telling people or they asked & I got some very odd responses & I thought I might get some understanding/support from mumset posters about their experiences'
To go back to this comment -- why are you going around telling people? It's none of their business how many children you want to have and you shouldn't assume people are the least bit interested. Since you seem to want your announcement to be greeted claps on the back and approving smiles and are not prepared to countenance the sort of responses you have received, then don't tell them. You want to do a certain thing a certain way, you want to announce it to all and sundry and you want universal approval too? There is absolutely no decision related to children that you could possibly announce to anyone that would result in cries of 'You go girl!' from everyone.
The minute you start telling people your private business they think you're holding a referendum, no matter what the business is.
I told people because they asked. Simple as that ! I do not go around spouting my ideas at people expecting them to slap me on the back or congratulate me! I answered a question. Which I though to tell people 'its none of yr business' would have been rude actually...
I do not go around not did I even say thst I go around to all and sundry announcing things or trying to get approval.
Did you even read my post properly?
honestly A very unfair attack.

Make Up For Ever – Everything You Want to Know!
30 Days of Make Up For Ever…
STARTS TODAY! Last week, I made an epic Make Up For Ever haul, and there was more than one reason for doing so. The major reason behind it is to bring you a new feature on Temptalia: 30 Days of Make Up For Ever. That's right — thirty! That means that every day in July, you will see at least one post about the brand. It might be a look, swatches, reviews, or how-tos. It could be anything, but at least one per day will tell you more about the brand. We have also teamed up with Pursebuzz with this feature, so be sure to follow her 30 days, too (so it's almost like 60, ha!).
If you have any suggestions on things you would like to know or see about Make Up For Ever, definitely let me know in this post. I'll do my best to fulfill requests! Thanks! 🙂

Providence pup hit, trapped in car's grill for 11 miles
(CNN) A Providence pooch is doggone lucky after she was hit by a car just a week ago.
East Providence Animal Control says the driver was going 50 miles per hour when they hit the poodle mix near the Segregansett Country Club in Taunton. They kept driving without realizing the dog was clinging to life inside the car's grill.
Eleven miles later someone flagged the driver down. Surprisingly, the dog was OK, despite being wedged inside the grill and holding onto the front bumper.
Will Muggle, an Animal Control officer, tried pulling the dog out, not sure if she'd survive, but amazingly, she was unscathed. Her concussion has cleared up and a minor bladder issue has been fixed.
Muggle says the dog has a microchip and collar, but he hasn't been able to find her owner.

Sony NEX 5-R: A new Sony NEX-5N?Thursday November 08 2012 Sensor Review
The Sony NEX-5R delivers good results with excellent dynamic range and elevated low-light sensitivity for a sensor of this size, thanks to its minimum sensitivity setting of 100 ISO. This Sony mid-range hybrid compact should enjoy the same kind of success as its predecessor. However, Sony cannot rest on its laurels: even though Sony maintains an edge over its competitors, the results for the Olympus OM-D and Pen lines show that the gap has been reduced.
Further readings for the Sony NEX 5-R: A new Sony NEX-5N?
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Announced at IFA 2012, Sony's NEX-5R (2938) is the third version of its very popular NEX-5 (1358) camera. This new model features a 16-megapixel APS-C EXMOR sensor composed of photosites that provide autofocusing by phase detection. Has Sony improved the image quality of its latest mid-range compact hybrid? Our tests reveal the answer.

I think there is a mistake on this page. Although the first half is about the NEX-5R, the remainder of the page is dedicated to discussions about different cameras.

Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
You mean the section with other cameras? It is made for you to read the review of close cameras.

1/3Ev difference with NEX-5N?
Also in the review of the NEX-6
it is stated that the difference with 5N is 1/3Ev! that difference is only between 1018 and 1079 ISO score!
so maybe the 6 and 5N only differ 1/8th or so?

In the Forest of Solemn, Adrus emptied the ruined water in his canteen, relishing in the way the parasitic liquid glistened as it pooled downwards. When all of it had drained, the young man sighed in relief at finally being able to drink again. The River of Aborigine ran between the lime green almost yellow foliage and cut along the grass as though a tear.
Pathos, his bay horse, eagerly ate his share of the herbs and weeds in the soil. He had a flat eye, gold and desolate and forever seeking his master. No dog could match his loyalty.
Except, to Adrus, there was a god loyaler than his horse, in that way he was a blaspheming fool that perhaps deserved what he got when he stepped into the crystal water, only to be pulled under as a magnet would fall off a fridge.
Somewhere between whirl and turquoise, blue and mush, cold and bitter, death and life, he slouched in an old chair. There was an underground place, not exactly the Tunnel of Disappearance, and a long stickman was there, with a hat that turned into a blindfold on his head.
Now what have we got here? He drawled, but his words werent words because they were sinew, and Adrus couldnt absorb what he said. He could hear and understand the stickman speak, but his brain couldnt recognize the meaning in the words. It was very frustrating. Maybe he had an eel stuck in his ear from during the trip down.
So you think you have it lemoned for you? Surely Pathos will get you to town, but whats to be found? What does he get in return?
Adrus could finally reply to lemoned, but unknown, inexplicable force made him do it: he equaled to a puppet. What does lemoned mean?
Now see, thats the problem! Thats not right at all! Certainly not at all!
And then Adrus found himself climbing up a grass blade, and like polished silver he retrieved his flesh sleeve, and there was Pathos with his desolate eye and his fallen call.

Best Tres Leches Cake
Staff Pick
Le Cave's Bakery, 1219 S. Sixth Ave.
What do you do if the most beautiful of the trapeze artists is having a birthday, and you have invited the entire flying mob to your house for the party? Go to Le Cave's Bakery on Sixth Avenue, famous for doughnuts, and get the tres leches cake. It is a favorite festive cake from Mexico. There are regional variations, but all have the three milks in its name. Typically, it is condensed milk, evaporated milk and half-and-half cream. At Le Cave's, we've been told, it is sweet milk, sweeter milk and the sweetest milk. You can get an entire cake for a birthday party. If you're curious or in need of a secret snack, there are individual cakes with caramel topping.
Restaurante Pura Vida, 15930 N. Oracle Road
Our staff, made up of slovenly writers who share a love of cake, had to agree to disagree on this whole tres leches business. While some liked Le Cave's dessert the best, others liked Pura Vida's divine delight. Located way the hell up Oracle, seemingly halfway to Phoenix, it's worth the drive for the tres leches. White cake soaked in three spiced milks (but you knew that already), Pura Vida's tres leches is sweet, soft and damn near orgasmic.

The Blitz (shortened from the German term blitzkrieg, meaning lightning war) began on 7 September 1940 and ended on 11 May 1941.
This year marks 75 years since the end of the bombing raids, which saw upward of 40,000 civilians.
The attacks took place on cities around the country as well as London, with ports including Bristol, Cardiff, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Southampton and Swansea also targeted, as were the industrial cities of Birmingham, Belfast, Coventry, Glasgow, Manchester and Sheffield.
The Blitz changed the face of much of Britain forever and these images show just how different the streets of London looked...

Frustrations, questions at Oneida flooding public meeting
Tue, 02 Jul 2013 02:47:56 GMT —
More than 100 neighbors asked questions and voiced frustrations as a public meeting on Monday night about Friday's flooding in Oneida.
Cassy Carlson voiced her concerns about looting. "Someone attempted to break into my basement," said Carlson. "My basement has a foot of water in it. They could've ransacked my entire house. I can't get down there to lock my front door, but they can get down there to steal my TV?"
Others are concerned about safety. "I think they are really doing the best they can with safety first," said Marcia Rafte, displaced from her home. "But I'm safe. My husband is safe. My dogs are safe. Now I want to get back in and clean it up."
The city said it is working as quickly as possible, with FEMA already on the ground and house pumping underway. Informational pamphlets on recovery assistance were also available to neighbors at the meeting.
Andrea Grayer was allowed back into her home today to collect some belongings, and understands the city's focus on safety. "I was trying to do my good deed, get my children some clothing...and apparently I moved too fast and went right down the stairs," said Grayer. "So the mud is very, very treacherous in the area."
Both Oneida officials and Governor Cuomo say their next priority after public safety will be focusing on recovery efforts.

Discuss: Final round at Congressional
It's going to be a much different day Sunday at Congressional -- and with fans back, it's going to be unpredictable. Brendon de Jonge sits on his first 54-hole lead on the PGA TOUR, with 2009 AT&T National champ Tiger Woods sitting just one shot back.
What is your prediction about the final round? Who has the best shot at preventing Woods from his 74th PGA TOUR win -- which will pass Jack Nicklaus for second on the all-time list (Sam Snead, 88).

I have killed the majority of my deer with a Marlin 1894 (16.5 inch barrel) I have used 140 grain cast all the way up to 200 grain bullets.
In my opinion 158 is the sweet spot. I like to use Flat point bullets over H110.
The Best factory loads I have used is the Buffalo Bore (both 158 and 180 grain) as well as the Magtec 158 grain SJSP
The range I get deer at is typically 35ish-80ish yards. I shoot them from my back porch using the rail like a bench. When I have to go and hunt I usually bring the 45-70 encase I see a Bear or a Moose.
Shot placement is everything!
I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull.
all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...

Russia, Ukraine feud over sniper carnage
Published 5:47 pm, Friday, March 7, 2014
Kiev, Ukraine --
One of the biggest mysteries hanging over the protest mayhem that drove Ukraine's president from power: Who was behind the snipers who sowed death and terror in Kiev?
That riddle has become the latest flash point of feuding over Ukraine - with the nation's fledgling government and the Kremlin giving starkly different interpretations of events that could either undermine or bolster the legitimacy of the new rulers.
Ukrainian authorities are investigating the Feb. 18-20 bloodbath, and they have shifted their focus from ousted President Viktor Yanukovych's government to Vladimir Putin's Russia - pursuing the theory that the Kremlin was intent on sowing mayhem as a pretext for a military incursion. Russia suggests that the snipers were organized by opposition leaders trying to whip up local and international outrage against the government.
The government's new health minister - a doctor who helped oversee medical treatment for casualties during the protests - said the similarity of bullets wounds suffered by opposition victims and police indicates that the shooters were trying to stoke tensions on both sides and spark even greater violence, with the goal of toppling Yanukovych.
President Putin has pushed the idea that the sniper shootings were ordered by opposition leaders, while Kremlin officials have pointed to a recording of a leaked phone call between Estonia's foreign minister and the European Union's foreign policy chief as evidence to back up that version.
This much is known: Snipers firing powerful rifles from rooftops and windows shot scores of people in the heart of Kiev. Some victims were opposition protesters, but many were civilian bystanders clearly not involved in the clashes. Among the dead were medics, as well as police officers. A majority of the more than 100 people who died in the violence were shot by snipers.

If you noticed that i rarely updated the site for the past couple of days, that is because i was playing Mortal Kombat non-Stop! That is true, i got my Xbox 360 copy Early Saturday, and since then,have not stopped playing through the massive game.
So how good or bad is the new Mortal Kombat? Keep Reading to find out:
Booting up the game will lead you to the start screen (no cgi intro outside story mode), the screen where my beloved sub-zero gets punched to the face by boon's beloved scorpion (booooo!). Pressing start will give you access to the different menus of the game: Ladder, Story Mode, Online, Challenge Tower, options and Extra.
Ladder (arcade mode):
This is your straight forward acrade mode, where you fight up a ladder until you reach a sub-boss (goro or Kintaro) and a final boss. You have the option to fight using one character or go in as a tag team, where you choose 2 characters and alternate between them by using the tag button. While new to MK, tag team really opens a new dimension for tag assisted combos. Unfortunately i have not had enought time to play tag, as much as i want.
Defeating shao khan in ladder mode will unlock a, what if, ending related to your character. Throughout ladder mode you earn Koins everytime you win a round. With these koins you can purchase koffins from the Krypt mode to unlock hidden features and artwork.
Also be advised that in this mode, much like the first MK games, you can fight hidden characters (retro noob saibot, mk2 smoke, mk1 reptile etc), if you meet certain requirements.
Story Mode:
Fighting games have been known to have less than stellar stories, let alone a story mode. well, it seems that MK is breaking that routine, since the story mode of this game is, not only a fun, engaging mode, but the story itself is well written with excellent dialogue and voice acting. Be ready to be fully surprised and caught off guard with the last arc of the 5+ hours long story mode. (ps: even if you have read the leaked story mode, you will still be surprised, i guarantee you this).
Online Mode:
Online mode does offer many options on how you want to fight online. Single vs, tag vs, king of the hill and other modes really make the online experience quite a unique one. However since the game has not officially launched yet, we cannot know how good the netcode is. We will update the story once the game officially ships.
Challenge tower:
If arcade and story mode were not enough for a single player experience, Mortal Kombat comes with a, new, innovative, 300 mission mode, dubbed challenge tower. This mode offers puts the player in specific missions and circumstances that you need to overcome in order to beat that challenge and move to the next one. check out NRS explaining what the challenge tower:
Mortal Kombat has an extensive practice mode that lets you practice your special moves, combos, x-ray, and even fatalities. Definitely a welcomed addition to the game.
Much like the last 3d MK games, the new Mortal Kombat comes with a 500 koffins Krypt. Each Koffin will cost you some Koins to unlock and discover your reward. Through the krypt you can unlock, artworks, Alt costumes, Fatalities etc. My only complain here, is that there are no videos to unlock (hopped to be able to see more character vignettes)
Now that we listed all the game modes you will get when firing the game, let's talk about the most important aspect of a fighting game: Gameplay!
If you tried the demo released 3 weeks ago on PSN, then you know what to expect. The game is a combination between MK2 and UMK3, a fast paced blood bath. The controls are your basic MK style controls, 2 buttons of punches, 2 for kicks and one for Block. And although there is no run button, your character can now dash forward or back, by double tapping the desired direction.
Making its first debut in a Mortal Kombat game, is a 3 layered super meter bar. Each level grants you a special ability (level1: Ex moves, level 2: combo breakers). Once the meter fills up, your character can execute a super combo like move, called the X-ray move, that will make your opponent bones shatter before your eyes, literally.
The roster is made of 27 characters, and from my experience is nicely balanced. There is of course up tiers and low tiers, with some characters who are quite useless. Of ourse, tier lists are almost non helpful before the game is heavily played, but based on my play time i can tell you the following information: Upper tier: Nightwolf, shang tsung, emac and Kung Lao. Lower tier: Sheeva and Cyber sub-zero (the latter is really low tier and almost useless). The rest of the cast seems pretty balanced.
Note: I saw couple infinites already found, but NRS has just released a first patch to take care of them.
Final Comment:
If you have been waiting for a good MK game since UMK3, then this is the game for you! With so much content, Mortal Kombat offers the best single player experience in addition to a robust online mode (review coming later). After playing the game for the whole week-end i can finally say this: MORTAL KOMBAT IS BACK and better than ever.
Score: 9.5/10

For the past 50 years, Gaston College has served Gaston and Lincoln counties as an outlet for community members to pursue higher education opportunities.
At an Aug. 7 meeting, Lincolnton mayor John Gilleland and fellow City Council members honored Dr. John McHugh, dean of the college's Lincoln Campus, for the college's excellence and growth over the past half-century.
According to McHugh, Gaston College's first classes met 50 years ago in the First Methodist Church building in Gastonia. Two months later, the college relocated its campus off of Route 321 in Dallas, where its main campus remains today.
"We opened the doors at our Lincoln Campus with 300 students in 1969," McHugh said. "We moved to our current location in 1999, with the facilities there designated as the college's Lincoln Campus, and in 2009, we added the Cochrane Building. Last fall, our Lincoln Campus had 1,600 students."
According to a press release, in its first year, the college offered classes in business administration, education and liberal arts, with the first graduating class consisting of six students. During the 2013-2014 school year, Gaston College graduated 792 students. As the ninth largest community college in North Carolina, Gaston College now enrolls more than 6,000 students each term in more than 100 curriculum programs and averages approximately 16,000 students a semester in its Continuing Education Programs.
"We truly appreciate what Gaston College adds to our community," Gilleland said. "And there are still lots of opportunities for Gaston College and the City of Lincolnton to continue to explore."
The college plans to celebrate its 50 years of existence throughout the 2014-2015 academic year through several events and activities available to students, faculty, staff and the community.
For more information regarding the college's celebration series, visit the Gaston College website at www.gaston.edu.

Looks like a postcard. If you get a chance, try one without the big cactus in the center, or maybe big cactus at either end. Or just try something more subtle. But when it's subtle, you'll need a lot more than 750 pixels to get a fair critique.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=204888\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
This last one has some good colors - don't know if 'landscape' would be technically correct since printers would call that 'portrait' perspective. Still a decent pic you could frame. The modern digital cameras have enough pixels and image modes like 16x9 or at least 3x2, that you can try slight rotations and different crops without losing too much detail in the process. If I have good lighting and enough detail, I can more often than not take a so-so landscape image and with some slight rotation and selective croppings produce a keeper. Use your imagination with the raw material and see what you can do.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=204928\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Laptop with low RAM
What linux fit's my old Omnibook 900..
Has 300Mhz PII, And max 160 Mb RAM.. HDD is 60Gb so thats no problem!
Runs Win98 at the time, but it beginnig to slow down.. (lik all Wnidows after some time).
So wondering if some of the New linux distros could make it with 160Mb RAM.. Guessing thats the most limiting factor..
Thanx in advance for all response!!
06-27-2008 #2
160megs of RAM is plenty, especially if you use a lightweight desktop environment (you can do this with any distribution). XFCE is very popular; I prefer the lightweight window manager IceWM.
Does this laptop have an internet connection? If it's a fast wired ethernet connection, then that will probably be the prefered method of installation. If it has no internet connection, then you'll need a distribution that installs entirely from CD. It does have a CD drive, right?
How much RAM is in the laptop right now?
Personally, I'd put the latest release of Debian, Debian 4.0, on it. The default GNOME desktop environment will be a bit sluggish, but IceWM would be slim and fast.Isaac Kuo, ICQ 29055726 or Yahoo mechdan

Hi, and thanks for your answer.
Have installed 160Mb of Ram.
How do you then "replace" lets say Gnome with XFCE or IceWM?
And yes, it has CD!
Hopeing to get WiFi to work (pcmcia D-link dwl-630).
06-27-2008 #4
The great thing is that you don't need to "replace" GNOME, in the sense that you can happily install as many different desktop environments and window managers as you want.
You can do a default install of Debian or Ubuntu (I prefer Debian, but Ubuntu is a popular choice which might be better out-of-box with your WiFi card). Then, open up a terminal window and use the following to install XFCE and IceWM:
su (use the command "sudo su" instead if you use Ubuntu)
apt-get install xfce4 icewm icewm-themes
After the software is installed, all you need to do to use a different DE/WM is log out to the graphical gdm login screen. You can click on the option menu to select a different session type (GNOME or XFCE or IceWM). After selecting the session type, you log in with your user name and password. It will ask if you want this session type to be default, or if you just want to try it out for this session.Isaac Kuo, ICQ 29055726 or Yahoo mechdan

check out fluxbox. I found xfce was a little two desktopy on some slower boxes. with fluxbox you do have to mod the menus yourself but its easy ones you edit it a little.

Debian is a great distro, so it is a good choice to start with. If it seems to be slow on your laptop, you can try Puppy Linux:

Debian netinstall (there are some great guides in several different languages) + some cool Window Manager like Fluxbox (my choice), Openbox, IceWM, or even E17 (if you like the eye candy).
Then, you install some light programs that don't depend on GNOME nor KDE. Thunar, Mirage, epdfvier, Xchat, Pidgin, SLiM, leafpad, and so on, are great and light GUI choices for the most common tasks. Oh, and stay sticky to only one toolkit. Mixing GTK with QT is a bad idea.
