The download will start after you use the dropdown box to choose your OS.
You'll download a .zip file. Unzip this file to your desktop.
Open the LAN_XPVistaWin7-8_8.1... folder.
Open the Realtek LAN folder.
You'll see something called Asus Setup. Double-click that and let the installer do its work.

text: In the Kitchen You got a lot of help, but aren't chefs pretty competitive with one another? "They absolutely are, but I'd say supporting other chefs and seeing them do well for themselves is greater. Thankfully we work in a culinary environment and city where there are so many specialties and world renowned chefs that you have the ability to spend time with and learn the way they carry out their operations. Without Chefs Dustin & Eric, I wouldn't be where I am/who I am today. I'm thankful that I've worked in a company like the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group where that message really transcends." How do you come up with ideas for new recipes and what's your favorite? "For me it's coming up with the main focus of the dish and It's long hours and hard work. Why do you do it? building compliments around it to make the centerpiece really shine. That also applies to what's seasonal. If you have the freshest product, one that perhaps just hit its peak, it's really incredible to bring the flavors forward and have your guests completely enjoy it. The Brick Chicken Calabrese we have at Bar & Grill is my favorite dish to make here. We start with a 48-hour marinade of Calabrian chili- citrus-base. Once out of the marinade, we cook it on the 36 grill and it's finished with chili paste. Then it goes onto a skillet to cook under a brick (yes an actual brick) for about 12 minutes give or take. Add vegetables–cippolini onion, cherry tomatoes–and there you have it! It's really my favorite because, quite simply, it's delicious!" "I love the constant being in motion, the rush and thrill I get when I'm on the line as well as visiting with our guests, some of whom I learn it's their first time with us. But all in all I do this profession for my family; I mean this is my livelihood. Great neighborhood restaurant for locals, new faces to see in the door and, of course, my family that stops in for meals from time to time. It's really my home away from home." And your favorite bite? "I grew up in Maryland, and nothing is better than fresh seafood, but even better…Maryland crab sprinkled with Old Bay seasoning. Hands down it's my favorite!" ◆

Lucknow, Feb 9 (UNI) The All India United Muslim Morcha today termed Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati's demand for 50 per cent reservation to dalit Muslims and Christians as ''impractical''.
''Ms Mayawati's demand is just not practical...she can only gain sympathy from the two communities by keeping forward such demands,'' the All India United Muslim Morcha president M A Siddiqui said here.
No political party could progress until it keeps a practical approach, Mr Siddiqui observed.
''The reservation demand could only be fulfilled after a change in the Ninth schedule of the Constitution, which seems next to impossible at present,'' he claimed.

Desktop Scroll Wheel and Volume Control!
Introduction: Desktop Scroll Wheel and Volume Control!
Make Magazine's weekend project, 3/4/09
Some Background
Recently, I've been reading a lot of different blogs. Each day I'll read the latest posts on engadget, lifehacker, hackaday, BBG and the MAKE: blog. The problem for me came when I realised that only some of the posts were interesting to me, and to get to the interesting ones took a lot of scrolling.
For this, there are several solutions. I could have set my RSS reader up with each of the blogs that I read and go through the titles daily, or I could have set up a Yahoo! Pipe to filter by words in the title. I didn't much fancy this though, so I set about looking for easier ways to scroll long distances. In my searching, I came across this: http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powermate - The Griffin PowerMate. The PowerMate is an assignable controller that you can set up for many things, browsing Google Earth, scrolling, Controlling volume etc..
I took a look at some YouTube videos of it in use and thought it was literally a scroll mouse on it's side with a fancy knob and some software. A few googles later, and I found a post on the bit-tech forums about a guy who made his own from a VCR spindle and an old mouse. I fancied a bit of that, so away I went and this is what I came up with. I call it the Griffin PowerFake.
It's made from an old PS/2 Mouse, a project box and, yep you guessed it, an old R/C car.
Step 1: What You Will Need
- An old PS/2 Mouse, preferably one that has a ball rather than an optical one, and one that uses a Rotary encoder as a scroll wheel, not one that uses an IR Transmitter/Detector. If you don't know what a rotary encoder looks like, see the last image of this step.
- An old R/C car/ Other circular object you can use for rotating that fits in your hand easily. Other suggestions are the spindles from an old VCR or maybe even an old CD-ROM drive, spinning the CD like a record on a turntable.
- A project box of your choosing, I used an old one I had lying around.
- A metal rod of suitable length to go through your R/C car wheel, project box side and the rotary encoder.
- Solder
- Soldering Iron
- Solder Wick/ Desoldering pump
- Tape/Glue/Double sided foam pads/ Pressure sensitive tape to mount the encoder.
- Superglue
- Drill
- Screwdriver
- Small piece of strip board (Optional)
Step 2: Gut the Mouse
Time to rip apart your beloved mouse. Usually these just come apart with one screw, but maybe your manufacturer has decided to be a bit sneaky and put screws under stickers as a way of telling if the warranty should be void.
Now is where you'll find out if you have a rotary encoder or an ir transmitter as a scroller. If you have a rotary encoder, well done and carry on. If you have an IR Transmitter (As is the case with cheapo mice) then it's no good for this. Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect £200. OK, bail yourself out and try with a different mouse.
I don't have any pictures of this step because it's a bit obvious (and I forgot to take some), but I do have a picture of my board after the rotary encoder has been removed, and one of the rotary encoder soldered to the piece of protoboard I used to mount it.
Step 3: Desolder the Encoder
Right, now it's time to pull out the mouse wheel from the hole that it sits in and bin it. Now flip over the board and find the holes where the encoder is soldered in (there should be 3 of them in a row). Make a note of which way the encoder points, or you'll solder it backwards and it won't work properly. Heat the solder points with your iron and use either solder wick or a desoldering pump to pull off the solder from the board, releasing the encoder.
Now in each of the holes that the encoder was sat in, solder a different colour of wire. These will need to be about 3-6 inches long depending on your project box size. Now you have a choice. You can either solder the wires directly onto the corresponding pins of the encoder or you can go into the magic cave and look for the chest of mystery (Page 132). No seriously, your second option is to use a piece of stripboard to connect the pins to the wires, as I did. This is a bit more durable than directly soldering the wires. In my picture I have bent the tabs on the encoder at right angles to the actual component and have already glued in my metal rod.
Step 4: Glue the Rod In
Now you'll need to find a metal rod that will fit through the middle of your encoder (I used a piece that I had lying around, you could maybe use a thin nail or some thick and quite stiff wire, maybe from one of those massove paperclips).
Once you have your rod, cut it to about 3 inches long or shorter. It needs to be long enough to fit through the encoder, one side of the project box and a good way into the wheel of your R/C car.
Glue it in to the rotary encoder by putting a small dab of superglue onto the rod and sliding it in to the hole in the encoder's centre. Let it dry, and if the metal rod can turn the encoder, you're in business. Otherwise, use a knife to scrape away where you've stuck the rod to the edge of the component and try again. You'll find it turns very easily with the rod stuck in it.
Step 5: Mount the Encoder
On my encoder it is worth noting that there were 2 tabs on the sides that were also soldered to the curcuit board for stability. I desoldered these and used them to mount the encoder to the project box lid. YMMV.
First off, drill a hole in your project box that's the same diameter as your metal rod, and stick your rod through it. Now you need to mount your encoder to the inside of your project box. For this, I used pressure sensitive tape, which is double sided and very sticky. I then went over this with a little tape just to be certain.
Step 6: Stick the Wheel on and Mount the Board.
Time to rip the wheel from your R/C car. If it comes with a gear in it as mine did, then you might want to keep it in to act as a spacer/ washer for your wheel.
I used a little superglue again to mount my wheel, the same way as I did the encoder. You may have a different diameter hole in your wheel to your rod, so I reccommend you roll up some paper to pad out the hole, or gum it up with some Blu-tac. I don't have any pictures of ripping the wheel out, partly because they're all different and partly because mine was found at the bottom of my parts bin.
Now all you need to do is stick the board to the bottom of the project box (pressure sensitive tape again) and drill a hole in the side of the case for the cable to escape from. Then clip/screw the two halves of the box together and test it!
Step 7: Test It
Plug it into your computer and give it a whirl. Please note that I use a USB mouse with my PC, so the PS/2 port was free. If you used a PS/2 mouse like I did, you'll have to reboot your PC after plugging it in for the BIOS to recognise it.
Fire up something scrollable, be it your Winamp library, your browser or a massive Ebook and give it a test. If you find it's too sensitive or not sensitive enough, then go into your Control Panel and adjust your mouse properties, more specifically, how many lines you scroll with one turn of the wheel.
As an added bonus, see if your wheel has enough momentum to scroll under it's own weight with a flick of the wrist, like mine does.
Step 8: Take It a Step Further
Basically it lets you adjust the Volume of your PC by holding a keyboard button and scrolling up/down. As well as this, it will show a little slider that shows the percentage volume that your PC is at. It will also resize windows using the wheel and change brightness, all according to the conditions you give it.
Here's a demo video of the wheel with Volumouse installed and running, with the Window Resize plugin installed.
And that's it! If it looks like I've missed anything out, or if you have a question, feel free to comment and rate!
Is there any other piece of software for this needs? I think the idea is to actually be able to use second mouse INDEPENDENTLY from main mouse. By that I mean using just a wheel without keystrokes or use mouse buttons as modifiers
By using the guts of a USB mouse (or PS/2 mouse converted to USB) in this instructable, it will be sending USB "Human Interface Device" or "HID" commands over USB. This is a standard for keyboards and mice, and includes only standard commands like "letter A key pressed down", "letter A key released", "mouse X moved +N ticks", and "mouse L button clicked down".
Virtually all USB *drivers* built into all modern operating systems consider HID commands coming from multiple devices to all be sent to the single Windowing Manager for use in any windowed application (thus the application that received mouse-move events, for example, is controlled by the Windowing system-- generally sent to the active window, sometimes sent to the window overwhich the mouse is positioned). note that it is the Windowing Manager that renders the mouse *pointer* which follows mouse movements (commands coming from the mouse device). Generally this means you can plug in a bunch of mice and any one will move the cursor and no one mouse is the master; and different software does not "claim" any particular mouse nor can distinguish between different mice.
Theoretically if you program the USB (or PS/2 serial) driver at a low level, you can "read" the events from one USB device and, importantly, also keep those commands from being forwarded to the Windowing System.
is is possible that I could attach a steering wheel to this and us it in a game like Flatout 2 respond ASAP I AM a N00B
This is one-hundred percent possible as long as you can steer in flat-out 2 with the scroll wheel, that being said if u are a noob you should get some experience first.
I think...i don't have encoder in this mouse.but i think you can see potentiometer near left side button..please describe briefly if my mouse have encoder then where it is and if not then where can i find this encoder?
If this is a "Rotary Encoder" then PLESE tell us the difference between that and a "Potentiometer". After searching out the web for this part I found a discription for a Rotary Decoder but I have a hard time comparing it to what you've got in the picture.
...I'm sorry, but if it's a Duck then lets just call it a Duck.
A rotary encoder shorts two of the legs protruding from it together, followed by another different pair of legs. By interpreting this, a microcontroller can tell which direction the shaft is turning in, and thus the computer knows whether to scroll up or down.
I repeat, it is not a potentiometer.
And its name is a rotary encoder. Just like a Voltage regulator has 3 pins and a tab for a heatsink, that doesn't make it a MOSFET.
Funny that you mention that. I've had to remind myself over and over to check the tiny print on those things to keep from confusing them!
man, i wish i could do this. im too poor to afford a good soldering iron. all i have is an old one from like 1999 that dosnt work =(
Hey there, I built mine and it doesn't seem to work. Can my regular mouse still be plugged in while I use desktop scroll wheel?
Please respond.
I can only say for certain on Windows as I know it can recognise two mice. Other OS's may not be able to.
I see no reason why not, I'd check first to see if OSX can recognise and use two mice beforehand.
I don no ... but mine didn't work .... it's still like a mouse ... but a butchered one ... clicks still work like before (like right click or somethin') ... and when i scroll the handle thing.... nothin' happens ...:(
So, After a long while, I was poking around some arcade cabinet sites, and low and behold... I found a site that had instructions on how to build a simple spinner from a mouse w/o a rotary encoder. That's right, he used an optical scroll wheel and it worked well apparently. Take a look, It might help anyone who can't get a solid state encoder.
Turns out the link isn't direct, so go to the controls tab on the left, then go to spinners to find the building instructions.
whatsisface, you say that an IR setup is no good for this. what is the reasoning behind this? Reason I ask is I made a wheel following another post and used an IR setup. I have been using it for a few days and today it seems to be generating phantom mouse clicks. Caused by the IR? Any ideas?
My dad gave me his old Wireless mouse when i ordered a new one for him, but i cannot make this, he said it works, but only half the time. But this is the first thing i thought about when i got the new one in the mail.
Hi, I really like this idea but my cable has about 5 wires running through it. Would you know without looking at it what the wires I need to solder to rotary encoder are?
could you put buttons on the side maybe to emulate keyboard strokes or left and right clicks and use the software so that only this mouse would do the adjusting? that way you just press the button on the side and scroll to adjust what you want without affecting other work!
Can the software make each mouse do different things; for example: make the left mouse button on the griffen wheel emulate a keystroke? Or does anybody know of some software that can do this?
Yeah, I tried hotwiring the buttons externally, and it worked. Find the two terminals on each button that are used, only 2/3 are used.
cool this looks like fun if i need some thing to do and i find a usb mouse ill will do this
So do you need a mouse with a scroll wheel?or are you using the ball's sensor things instead? i'm confused.
Sorry,I hadn't read your instructable thourorly enough.It is a scrool wheel, i now understand.
I have a griffin powermate and it rocks. the software is very easy and the built in led control rocks. Nice Ible though
i got a mouse the was an IR resiver all i did was leave it in there without thw top of the mouse and put a pool throw the end on the scrool weel and turned it to its side and used a bigger box, oo and i used a pencil insed of a wheel cause i count get and weel to rotate strat in always title and scratched the sides

text: I just got my new X and have hopefully an easy question. I sync'd up my Gmail contacts but when I set up my Facebook account, it added all my Facebook contacts and made my contact pictures in my contact list the ones from Facebook. I want the contact pictures that I have saved in my Gmail account to be the pictures showing up on my phone and I also didn't want all my Facebook contacts to transfer over to my list. How do I go back to my original Gmail contacts only, and import the photos from my Gmail account to replace the ones from Facebook? When I go to the option to change picture source, it only gives me my Facebook and Twitter accounts as options. Help?

The Red World of Death!
Inspired by the classic pulp heroes of yesteryear, the Rocket Ranger races to the rescue of his captured love Constance O'Connell, and to battle with the evil Mutant Dr khaos and the vile aliens of the red World of Death before they can activate the Death Ray and destroy the Earth!
Here is my finished Rocket Ranger and the Red World of Death:
I really enjoyed painting this one, nice colourful and a lot going on too. I think for my the toughest part was during the colouring, using so many bright reds and yellows alongside deep purples and blues was a bit of an eye twister when it came to blending it altogether and not having it look like someone had just thrown-up after eating a packet of fruity sweets.
A change of direction again with my next painting, I'm working on a dragon!

Mary J. Blige's Burger King Ad: A Whopper of a Controversy
Mary J. Blige may want to stay away from fast food advertising for the time being. Burger King has pulled an ad featuring the R&B superstar singing the praises of the fast-food chain's new chicken snack wraps after critics in the African-American community complained it was playing off racist stereotypes.
The controversial commercial has already been wiped from Burger King's Youtube channel, but the wonderful world of the Internet has managed to preserve it for posterity's sake (click here to see the video).
The 30 second ad shows the nine-time Grammy winner crooning the recipe for the franchise's latest tasty treat — "Crispy chicken, fresh lettuce, three cheeses, ranch dressing wrapped up in a tasty flour tortilla" — which drew unsettling reactions from a number of African-American media personalities.
Black Enterprise columnist Janell Hazelwood wrote that the endorsement did "damage" to Blige's brand and "reminded many of us that stereotypes of dancing, singing, and chicken-loving black people still remain prevalent in the hearts and minds of advertisers."
Meanwhile, Jayson Rodriguez — the Executive Editor of hip-hop magazine XXL — also appeared confused by the message Blige was trying to portray. "Just saw the Mary J. Blige/Burger King commercial for the first time," he tweeted. "Confused. Where's the Funny or Die! bumper at the end of the clip?"
However, in the wake of the online backlash, Burger King issued a statement to Gawker claiming it pulled the commercial on technical grounds only. The statement read as follows: "The Mary J. Blige advertisement has been pulled due to a licensing issue. BURGER KING expects to have the Blige ads back on air soon."
The 41-year-old singer isn't the only celeb to highlight specific BK menu items. David Beckham, Jay Leno and Salma Hayek have also gotten in on the BK advertising act.

Since this was our first visit to Nashville I was totally unfamiliar with Nashville and was surprised to discover how much fun the whole town is. As an aside a highlight was The Ryman Auditorium. We were able to get the back stage tour and we're going back!
However, another unexpected Nashville sensation was its local shuttle service, "Nashville Moves". For most of the first trip I thought our driver was Nashville's Mayor or at least the head of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. Near the end I learned the driver, "Billy Bee," is a Nashville native who was a perfect example of true southern hospitality and excellence. His wit and oblivious love of the whole Nashville area is a reason my wife stated she can't wait to get back to Nashville. We were really lucky to have Billy as our driver two nights in a row. If Trip Advisor has an award for shuttle services I suggest you book a trip on Nashville Moves and check it out! Oh! Ask for Billy! What a delight!

Proven Techniques To Save Your FaceApril 19, 2017 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures, Special Offers
Recently "New Beauty" published an article on the top things we can do to get perfect skin. The article was so spot on and informative that I wanted to talk about the procedures and protocols they mentioned and go into more depth about it. You can find the article mentioned at:
1. Microneedling with PRP
2. Retinol
3. Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators are purified proteins that are injected into facial muscles, causing relaxation of the muscle. This relaxes the pull on the skin, which relaxes the wrinkles. Neuromodulators are a great first step into the world of non-invasive cosmetic procedures. I mean who wants to be the only woman at brunch not talking about how good their Botox/Dysport/Xeomin looks?
4. Sunscreen
STOP THE FIRST SIGNS OF AGINGSeptember 4, 2015 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures
As early as your mid- to late-20s and into your 30s, you may start to notice the very first signs of aging, which are usually subtle but still bothersome. What was once a smooth complexion may now be home to small sunspots, crow's-feet, dark under-eye circles and uneven texture. Instead of letting the signs of aging get the best of you, take matters into your own hands and correct the changes that you're seeing—you may even be able to prevent them from progressing as you get older with the proper plan of attack.
3 Ways to Treat Lines and WrinklesAugust 20, 2015 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures
Just because you have lines and wrinkles (and are bothered by them), doesn't mean you have to live with them. Here are 3 treatments that help reduce their appearance:
Fractional Lasers
ARE YOUR EYES AGING YOU?October 13, 2014 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Celebrity Love, Cosmetic Procedures
Fillers, fat or surgery: Which one should you choose? Each option has its place when correcting the eyes. Base your decision on what bothers you, your budget and the result you are looking to achieve.
Choose fillers to fix hollowing in the tear troughs if there is no loose skin. Ideal patients are those who have a depression like a tear trough in the lower lids, had too much fat removed during surgery or are hollow under the eyes. Some physicians prefer fillers (such as Restylane or Belotero Balance) because they are reversible and to not require overcorrection.
Choose fat for longer-lasting results. Your physician will gently remove a very small amount of fat from elsewhere on your body (often the love handles), clean it and then inject it under the eyes for a volumizing effect. Fat can also be used to blend the area between the lower lid and the cheeks.
Choose surgery to correct loose skin or excessive muscle and/or fat in the lids.
WHEN YOU SHOULD GET LASER RESURFACINGSeptember 9, 2014 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures
If you have deep lines on and around the eyes, fairly good skin elasticity, are over the age of 40, laser resurfacing is the best option to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the upper eyelids.
What it can't do: Get rid of loose skin, or lift like surgery would.
What it can do: Stimulate collagen production to give a tightening effect; improve tone & texture
CO2 fractional lasers, such as our CO2RE laser, work to stimulate collagen from within to decrease fine lines and also address crepey (not excess) skin around the eyes. Unlike injectables, which can't be used on the eyelid but just on the outer corners of the eyes, fractional CO2 lasers—they combine the resurfacing power of more traditional CO2 lasers with the healing and anti-demarcation benefits of a fractional laser—can be used on both areas to rejuvenate skin that's laden with both lines and wrinkles.
When used properly and on the right patient, lasers can smooth out some of the lines around the eyes, but not correct significant laxity, hollows or bulging fat pads.
Fractional CO2 lasers will also help even out any discoloration around the eyes, like age spots, which may accompany the type of skin that is suitable for this treatment. Lasers work best on surface irregularities from sun damage.

GET RID OF CROW'S FEET FOR GOODJuly 3, 2013 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures, Health News
Crow's feet are those tiny lines that usually extend out from the sides of the eyes, up toward the temples and/or down toward the top of the cheek. Sun exposure is enemy number-one in the formation of crow's-feet, but smoke, pollution, squinting and smiling all cause the structure deep within the skin to breakdown. Less collagen means less support, making the skin more susceptible to fine lines.
Your at-home plan of attack should consist of a mild exfoliator to help turnover skin, a daily mineral based sunscreen to prevent collagen and elastin breakdown and intensive hydrators that contain hyaluronic acid, to soften dry skin and fill-in and smooth out wrinkles. In addition to these topical problem-solving ingredients, a large pair of sunglasses will also help preventing against squinting and blocking
Dysport, Xeomin or Botox can treat crow's-feet, and can even be used to prevent them from forming. They are considered to be the gold standard for preserving youthful-looking eyes because they halt movement of the muscles that lead to these lines and wrinkles. Keep in mind that these injectable neuromodulators only temporarily smooth out wrinkles—they don't address discoloration, sun damage or incite collagen production.
To reduce lines, another options is to resurface the skin with lasers. Ablative fractional and CO2 lasers such as CO2RE, and eMatrix are commonly used to address textural changes around the eye. These modalities ablate the top layer of damaged skin, prompting the body to make new, better collagen—the new skin grows in plumper and less laden with lines. These types of treatments also help to give the area a tightening effect.
CAN BOTOX REALLY TREAT DEPRESSION?January 4, 2013 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures, Health News
A time of joy, the holidays can be an exceptionally sad time for those suffering from depression. A new study shows that a popular beauty treatment may actually relieve some of these symptoms. Botox®: the injection of botulinum toxin to decrease the appearance of fine lines, crow's feet, and wrinkles in both men and women can now possibly be used to treat depression. The common complaint of Botox consumers is that those injections make it hard to convey feelings on the face. However, it may actually be a good thing for people with treatment-resistant depression.
In an independent study published in the May 2012 issue of the Journal of Psychiatric Research, researchers selected 30 participants who were suffering from long-term drug-resistant depression. Half the participants were given five injections of Botox between and just above the eyebrows while the other half were given placebo injections in the same place. After six weeks, health care professionals noted the patients' depressive symptoms—such as sullen mood, insomnia, and weight loss—and reported it back to researchers.
What they found was astonishing. While the control group only had a 9 percent reduction in depressive symptoms, those who were injected with Botox saw a whopping 47 percent decrease in the same symptoms. These mood elevations stayed steady throughout the 16-week study period for both groups.
M. Axel Wollmer, a psychiatrist at the University of Basel in Switzerland and the lead author on the study, believes the treatment "interrupts feedback from the facial musculature to the brain, which may be involved in the development and maintenance of negative emotions." Your facial muscles might not just display your feelings to the world; they can tell your brain how to feel, too.
Since Botox relaxes those muscles that convey feelings, it can also trick your brain. Botox is effective in this instance due to the display of emotions. Not only are facial muscles important in communicating how you feel, they are also essential in actually experiencing them. Disrupting the body's ability to portray the emotion makes it difficult to even feel it.
Previous studies have shown that Botox weakens a person's ability to identify other people's feelings. Piggybacking on that finding, this new study shows that face muscles are just as important for identifying and experiencing emotions as they are for displaying them. This study opens a world of possibilities for modern medicine. If a simple cosmetic procedure can help treat a serious mental disorder, what other opportunities lie in seemingly unconnected areas of the medical field?
Susan Stevens Tanne, M.D., medical director of Cosmetic Laser MD, NJ, treats patients with Botox in Livingston, New Jersey and Bedminster, New Jersey.
A Quick Fix For Bunny LinesJuly 12, 2012 / Category: Anti-Aging, Cosmetic Procedures
Think about it: In which area of the face do you normally consider getting neurotoxin injections (better known as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin)? Many women will tell you the crow's feet, forehead and even "the elevens," which are those pesky lines that form between the eyebrows. But you don't often hear about bunny lines, the wrinkles that form at the top of your nose when you scrunch it. That's likely because it's an area that many of us don't know can be treated because it hadn't occurred to us in the first place.
Women put makeup on in the mirror, but they don't smile in the mirror or scrunch their nose when they do. But when they're out in public and interacting, that's when the lines are apparent.
And while bunny lines aren't bothersome to everyone, for others, they may actually draw attention away from the eyes—an area that Dr. Tanne says should be a focal point of the face. The mid-face is where people wear their sexuality, so you want to soften it and make it beautiful. You want to bring out the most important part of beauty—cheekbones, large eyes, that's important.
Bunny lines can sometimes contribute to nostril flaring or look unnatural if they're prominent. Bunny lines might be cute and enhance a happy face in some people, but sometimes those same wrinkles just don't look right.
Of course, treatment of the bunny lines depends on each person. It's all in how the individual perceives their own appearance. But if the lines do bother you, the treatment is fairly simple and delivers subtle results that make a big difference. "It's interesting that many people never consider bunny lines to be a problem—they just accept the lines as something normal. But when you pose the question about reducing them, surprisingly many patients are pleased that treatment is available," Dr. Tanne says.
COSMETIC LASER MD IS NJ'S FIRST XEOMIN LOCATIONNovember 9, 2011 / Category: Beauty Breakthroughs
Cosmetic Laser MD Chosen to Receive the First Limited Shipment of Merz Aesthetics' New Injectable Wrinkle Relaxer
New Addition to BOTOX and DYSPORT Neuromodulators
LIVINGSTON, NEW JERSEY, NOVEMBER 9, 2011 — COSMETIC LASER MD, New Jersey's premier destination for the most advanced skin and laser treatments, is among the first 100 Aesthetic Medical Practices in the US to receive Xeomin® for cosmetic use beginning November 2011.
Xeomin®, a Merz Aesthetics product, is being referred to as the "naked injectable" by physicians because it does not contain any additives or complex proteins. The benefit of this, according to Dr. Susan Stevens Tanne, Medical Director of COSMETIC LASER MD, and top area aesthetic physician specializing in injectable and laser treatments, is that the body extremely unlikely to have an adverse reaction to the treatment. Aside from this slight molecular difference, XEOMIN is virtually identical to other Neuromodulators BOTOX and DYSPORT.
"We are thrilled to have another highly effective neuromodulator available to treat wrinkles and crows feet, said Dr. Tanne. "By being selected to offer this cutting edge product to our patients as early as possible COSMETIC LASER MD is once again at the forefront of the latest advancements in skin treatment. We are expert at all injectables, so we are proud to offer XEOMIN as another treatment option to our patients. Ultimately, if this introduction creates some friendly price competition among the neuromodulators, then even better for our patients."
Xeomin® was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines, more commonly known as frown lines between the eyebrows, in adult patients. Xeomin® will be available in Aesthetic Medical Practices around the United States in the spring of 2012; however, COSMETIC LASER MD is able to offer this treatment to their patients right now. To kick off the new product introduction, MERZ is offering a $50 rebate for a limited time. Rebate details will be given to patients at the time of their treatment.
For more information about Xeomin or COSMETIC LASER MD please visit www.cosmeticlasermd.com or call 973-716-9000. Please call to schedule your complimentary consultation; Dr. Tanne and her team will put together a customized plan that will help you achieve your personal aesthetic goals.
Call us at 973.716.9000 to schedule a complimentary consultation or click the button below. We will discuss your concerns and establish a treatment plan to achieve your aesthetic goals.

I would be travelling in Fjord Norway for about 10 days by car with my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). We are doing a big road trip where we would be staying at every place for 1 night only.
We are booking cabins / apartments at most of the places. We are finding that every place is offering bed linen / towel sets for rent. When we add the rent for 4 people for 10 nights, it adds up quickly to very high amount.
I have a general question regarding bed linens. I have traveled to so many countries in the past and have never seen anywhere asking to rent bed linen and towels for extra. I would expect that any accommodation place would include those in the cost.
Since we are flying in from USA, I am wondering if it is worth carrying the linens / towels with us instead of renting it from every cabin owner. Any suggestion regarding that. We are making a round trip from Bergen. Should be buy or rent bed linen / towel etc from Bergen itself?
The cabins already have mattresses, pillow and blankets. So when I rent a bed linen set from a cabin, what exactly items from the list below are included in it for each bed?
- A pillow cover
- A bed sheet for the mattress
- A sheet for under the blanket
- A bath size (large) towel
- A small size hand towel

Renting bed linens and towels
I would be travelling in Fjord Norway for about 10 days by car with my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). We are doing a big road trip where we would be staying at every place for 1 night only.
Report Abuse
Why ask us for what would be a guess when you can ask the renting party?
Report Abuse
It used to be (maybe still is) that youth hostels required that you either provide your own linens or rent them. Many people carried a sleep sack with them, which didn't take much room and took the place of two sheets.
In 1986, I worked in the Netherlands, and traveled a lot with my two young children. On our way back to the US, we spent two weeks in Ireland, and planned to mostly stay in youth hostels. I made three sleep sacks from the sheets we had been using in the Netherlands. I didn't have a sewing machine, so I had to whip-stitch them by hand. I still have one of those sacks, almost 30 years later, and visitors use it sometimes when they sleep on our sofa.
You need a single flat sheet, which you fold in half lengthwise, and sew along the bottom edge and about 1/3 of the way up, so that it's easy to get into. At the top edge, you can cut it down the middle to about the height of your shoulders, allowing about six inches extra for wiggle room. One half can be folded down and sewed to make an attached pillow case. The other half can be used to fold down over the blanket, trimming off any excess.
The sheet is probably longer than you need, so you could save some space in your luggage by trimming off any excess length. You would need the length to be the length of your body, plus about six inches, plus about 20 inches for the fold-over pillow case. I would cut it off at the bottom edge, since that edge has to be sewed anyway, to avoid extra seams.
You probably don't need both a bath towel and a hand towel for each person; you can get light-weight packable bath towels at a camping goods store, and use them as all purpose towels.
Report Abuse
The problem that I see is that if you do only stay one night at each place then you will constantly be travelling with wet towels.
Report Abuse
Beds in europe are NOT the same sizes as in the US - so you would have to bring something like a sleeping sack that just sits on top of the bed. And wet towels would be a problem.
I would bite the bullet and rent them, counting it as part of the cost of more space than hotel rooms.
Report Abuse
Sorry - if this is all through one agency or website I would check a couple of others to make sure this is standard (it's not in most of europe)
Report Abuse
It is actually quite normal here in the Netherlands too, when renting cottages and the like outside of Amsterdam. I have seen it in France and other countries too.
Your problem is that you are moving on every day, and the rental charge is the same whether for one night or a week, since it covers laundry cost too.
Maybe can find some very lightweight sleeping bags to bring with you, and those fast drying roll up small camping towels.
In any other country I would say buy some cheap linens on arrival, but not in Norway, where cheap doesn't exist.
If you want to bring your own linens bring flat sheets, all single. That is a lot of extra weight though.
Report Abuse
It varies but wash/face cloths are often not included in linen rentals so bring those if you use them. You can usually get a bundle quite cheaply at BB&B or similar so no grief if one is left behind.
Sheet bags are a great idea, cheaper and quicker than making up 2-3 beds 10 times in 10 days.
Report Abuse
<<I would check a couple of others to make sure this is standard (it's not in most of europe)>>
It is common in Denmark, Finland and Sweden too, when renting a summer cottage.
Report Abuse
Perhaps look into hotel rooms instead?
Staying in an apartment for one night kinda misses the point.
Report Abuse
If you take your showers at night and have a quick-drying towel, it will be dry in the morning. Instead of wash cloths, you could use HandiWipes, cut to the size of a wash cloth. These would also dry overnight. In the morning, just use the wash cloth, and drape them somewhere in the car to dry.
Here is a page with some examples of the kind of towel I had in mind:
Report Abuse
I was surprised that many apartment rentals in Nice,France had a fee for linens. I think it was approx. 40 euros for each bed. I wrote one of the owners to question this and he replied that was the fee the cleaning service charged. I selected one that did not have that fee although it probably was hidden.. You probably don't have that option so I can see how the costs will add up especially with four of you. I don't think you want to bring all that in your luggage. Can you just rent towels and bring sheets or do you have to take the full package?
Report Abuse
If you are driving, why not just buy a set of linens & towels at a cheap shop for each person & donate them to a charity in your departure?
I've done that in my home country.
Report Abuse
I don't think there are cheap sets of towels and linens in Norway.
Report Abuse
In my experience sheets and towels are very expensive any place in europe versus the US (we get things like that very heavily discounted unless you want real linen embroidered by the blind nuns) and I imagine the prices in Norway would be shocking - perhaps as much as all those laundry charges.
Report Abuse
<perhaps as much as all those laundry charges>
I'm guessing even more.
Report Abuse
Since some B&Bs in Ireland do not provide washcloths I purchase an 18-pack at WalMart, take along one/person/stop and we just leave them behind when moving on. Towels would take up far too much room. Suppose one could air-dry.

You didn't specify a brand so you can buy cheap brands at Target and Walmart.

Usually you end up with a set of disposable bedding rather than real linen as there wouldn't be a commercial laundry in remote districts. So just take them on with you to the next night. They are usually good for about a week. Alternatively take a sheet sleeping bag with built in pillow case. There are no blankets just a quilt on the beds. Quilts are always single size. Towels are not generally included in linen - take your own.
You can also buy your own disposable bedding at Clas Ohlson shops in major towns - http://www.clasohlson.com/no/Engangssengetøy/Pr314887000
You would need one of each of these products per person. Open in Chrome browser for translation.

We've begun the Pantanal Music Exchange teaching program in the past few weeks here, working with kids at the Nazaré Orphanage to learn to play the violin, viola, and cello.
Working with a wide range of ages (and attention spans) has been a challenge, but a core group of older students has already emerged as dedicated musicians. Due to age gaps we decided to hold separate classes for the older students. They have started to take strong leadership roles in the classes we hold with the younger students as well.
In our first week and a half together we worked to establish strong fundamentals in bow and instrument positions. Of course, just holding the instruments didn't really satisfy the kids, who wanted to immediately play the instruments they were learning to hold. After some rhythm games, learning the string names, pizzicato exercises, beginning bow technique, and a lot of patience we dove into learning a short canção: The Flower Song. Evanildo, Pedro, and Luis played a lovely two part harmony to the Flower Song at the end of class on Monday.

Q: The Washington Monthly rankings that came out (recently) showed UC San Diego as No. 1 and San Diego State University as No. 192. They also showed San Diego State as No. 6 in terms of best bargain for the buck. What's your reaction?
A: I prefer to say San Diego State is where students get the best value. We're obviously proud of that. One of the things I think we hear a lot about is the focus on serving a diverse student body, having a quality education, being sure students graduate. And this metric that the Washington Monthly put together is really capturing those aspects. The term that we like to use is to say it's a quality education, a quality opportunity, for students at a reasonable and appropriate cost.
Q: What's the capacity of your campus and how much bigger, if at all, can you effectively serve students?
A: We have many, many students enrolled at our institutions throughout California. And our first goal should be to get all of those students to graduate. If we can address that we're going to go a long way to addressing the workforce needs, the challenges. An additional issue is how much expansion can we do? To me the easier route is to graduate the students who are currently enrolled. And then we can start having discussions about enrollment and enrollment growth. At San Diego State we've done a great job in terms of making progress. The Chronicle of Higher Education identified us as the institution that had the largest increase in graduation rates in the country in about a 10-year period. Right now we are in the high 60s. That's 10 points, approximately, above the national average. Our goal is to move that up even further. Our freshman-to-sophomore retention rate, which is the critical index that determines whether the student can move forward, is now at 90 percent, and so as those students come through the pipeline, our graduation rates will be even higher.
Q: With the advent of online education, do we need [traditional] university campuses anymore?
A: There's not necessarily a conflict between a commitment to a residential campus, a campus that is truly a community, a campus that is focused on students' personal, professional and intellectual development, and the advanced use of technology. There are many models out there. At San Diego State our spirit has always been innovative. We are excited about considering models for bringing together different approaches, innovative approaches including online, and the model that we have of a residential campus. I think we need to move away from what has been a sort of dichotomist view of people saying, well, the residential campus is going to die, or everybody's going to be taking [classes] online. We've seen some great experiments in online. Many of them haven't worked so well. We've seen others that have worked well. We have many hybrid classes. So students might have a face-to-face class one day and then the other part of the class is online. Of course it has a component of efficiency in that if you only have one class meeting instead of two you've increased your effective physical capacity.
Q: Do you believe that online is more or less effective as a teaching tool?
A: One of the things that I say a lot is our people make a difference. We've seen effectiveness in our hybrid approaches. For example, you might have an entire class that is online. But it might be in a program where some of the other classes are face to face. I think the biggest point is openness to innovation coupled with the recognition that a residential community, a community where people interact face to face, brings enormous value in terms of students' development.
Q: There's the rise of online education and everyone's trying different things. Then you have all these philanthropists who say the greatest egalitarian thing a nation can do is to give away a college education. The current model is under assault from all these different factors.
A: This is a very passionate debate. People have different interests. They have different perspectives. But sometimes all of the passion is obscuring some very basic things that people in the community need to know. If you look at average incomes, people who graduated from college have a median income of $50,000. People who only have a high school degree have an average income of $28,000. So not only is there a difference, but it's a very, very significant difference. The premium for a professional degree is even larger. Average income for someone with a professional degree is $87,000. So there are significant benefits. I think there's a lot of evidence that there's a place in our society for public institutions that offer very, very high-quality educational opportunities at a reasonable and appropriate price. A big part of higher education, of course, is learning a body of knowledge. But there is much, much more to it. It includes being able to have certain experiences of community, being able to have guidance in social norms and ways to contribute as a citizen. Those are all things that can't be obtained by a 19-year-old sitting in their bedroom. Now if you ask me will there be cases where people obtain education solely online? I think the answer is yes. But if you ask me is there a place for a community to gather to help people to develop personally, professionally, intellectually — a place to have a community, whether that community is in athletics or in the arts, or in cultural events — my answer is yes, as well. There will be not only an opportunity for that, but there also will be a strong desire for it. We have a theme, "Leadership Starts Here." And the notion there is that we really want people to start to develop as leaders. One of the things that I talk a lot about is the idea that students should have a transformational educational experience. So they should have a great experience in the classroom. They should learn a body of knowledge, absolutely no question. But it is more than that. It's engagement inside and outside the classroom. It's studying abroad. It's having the opportunity to do undergraduate research and internships, having mentors. We've set up a new program where our alumni are going to be mentoring our students who are currently looking for positions in the same industry. That's something that we can offer someone that you just cannot get if you are in your bedroom learning online. So I think that that's a vision of where we're going to go — that is, transformational educational opportunities for students at a reasonable and appropriate cost that families can save for and then support their child as they move forward. I think there's room for a lot of different models. But there is still this possibility, and this opportunity and this desire, for a high-quality experience that's transformational. And that's what we want to provide people.
Q: What haven't we asked that you want us to know about San Diego State?
A: The most important thing to me is that the institution has great momentum. We are an institution that people want to come to, that has students who are coming who are well prepared, they're succeeding. And they're succeeding at the highest level. Another aspect of how the university has evolved is our research programs. Our research is very much focused on practical issues, on critical societal problems. We've had faculty members identify the brain basis of autism. We've had faculty members who discovered a solar system with two earthlike planets. We've had faculty members who discovered a protein that can fight the flu. We have people right now working in the Arctic Circle on global warming. We've had, this year alone, 12 students with Fulbright Scholarships. We are really proud of our athletics programs. They help us build a community. Last year was the best year we ever had, actually. We won 12 conference championships. We're really proud of that. But we're equally proud of what's going on, on the academic side, both with student achievement and with faculty achievement.

great art gallery with talented local artists!
another great show at the City Gallery.
saw this show last nite. if anybody is bored with the same old in chas, go see this, its rad.
Cannot go here anymore. Its crowded as heck with tourists. So sad, really! I had liked their food, but is just gotten impossible to navigate.
I wouldnt really call this a local spot anymore. Its a tourist spot. That might not make it any worse, but dont come here expecting to eat with locals!
Just keepin' it real.
Dont drive here either...impossible parking.
I am TELLING you this....and TRUST ME: IF you are looking for NY Style Pizza, that tastes as close as possible as the real thing, then ZAPPOS PIZZA, 708 King Street wins hands down. There is no close second place. (although it WOULD be D'Allesandro's, then Andolini's, then Monza....I like the taste of Park Circle Pizza, and even EVO too [when theres nothing else around] and in last place, easily) Lots of interesting choices, but for REAL, NY Pizza, ...go up King Street to the little hole in the wall, Zappos.
Or to Ben's Pizza on Spring Street in SOHO.
Oh wait, this is a Charleston review. jk!
See it's in the WATER people. You will never get a NY pie anywhere outside of NY. BUT: If any chefs are reading, here is where to begin. Use the BEST mozzarella cheese you can buy, and use lots of it. Also, put some zing in your sauce, and use lots of it. NO FREAKIN RAGU! Try an orange in the sauce.
Use Semolina or Corn Meal.
DONT skimp out on the toppings. Dont be cheap, JEEZ.
Just keepin' it real.
MichelleinSC whats wrong with living in a trailer and drinking PBR?

Seroquel works wonder on my rage/irritability, all of the feelings you desribe, just hate the weight gain-maybe it could work for you? I know that you have a stressful life, which doesn't help on top of the "mania" irritability. Plus I sleep like a baby so that I get the sleep I need to decrease more irritability from insomnia.

Podcast Episode #24: Budgeting for Our Year in the Parks, ft. Capitol Reef and Redwood
We have shared many times about our budget for a year of travel (here about our budget, here about flight hacking, and here regarding our thoughts on millennials crowdfunding their vacations) and some of you might know that we set out in August 2015 with the goal of spending just $20,000 for our year — including all flights, bush planes, activities, camping, hotels, health insurance, food, gas, and possible repairs. We also wanted to have a nice cushion for coming back home, and thankfully we only had to dip into that a bit: we ended our year having spent about $23,000. Alaska took out a bigger bite than we had anticipated, but we forgave ourselves.
But how did we do that, exactly? Most of the national parks are cheap as far as vacations go, but we did "have" to travel all the way to remote areas of Alaska and American Samoa to meet our goal.
Part of our answer lies in today's episode of Switchbacks:
Can you already guess which parks we'll be talking about? Red rocks and tall trees, here we gooooo:
