Shin isn't much better and may be headed down that road as well. But he's not interested in Aiko and has decided (albeit grudgingly) to give up on Hiromi and set her up with #4. And the level of his dishonesty hasn't quite reached Aiko or Hiromi's level, though he admittedly isn't much better.
While this show is a good one, my distaste for the characters is getting in the way. While it may be more realistic, realism doesn't always equal entertainment or enjoyment.

after watching this episode i can finally conclude that the one hiromi likes is shin and not number 4. the beach and H-room(sounds bad isnt it?) can attest to that.
although guardian enzo really hit the bulls eye on shin's good boy antics.

Hiromi's only flaw seems to be her inability to openly admit her feelings to Shinichiro but he can be accused of the same. Part of it has to do with having to live in Shin's household. She is dependent upon and accountable to Shin's parents. There might be something more on her side but probably nothing that can't be overcome. For both of them there is also the fear of rejection since they are unaware of the others' true feelings. However, I think both of them will get to the point where they don't care about the consequences of following their hearts.
Besides this is there anything wrong with Hiromi? She is otherwise close to the ideal. Pretty, smart, athletic, popular, fun to be around when she's not holding herself back. She is not a habitual liar in general but is guilty of hiding her feelings for Shinichiro with the lie of liking #4 for which she regrets and will continue to pay for a while longer. Also, that lie was the result of seeing Shinichiro carrying Noe on his back to the basketball game so he bears some blame for that. The real problem is getting one of them to admit their feelings but once that happens is there any stopping them? The angst and misery they face is the result of misunderstandings that are temporary obstacles in their path but once past that I see no major flaws that would make them miserable in a relationship. It's not like she's dishonest by nature.

Ding ding ding you are correct about this. Seriously why would people think that he should confess or think he has a chance with Hiromi when he heard from Hiromi herself that hes not the one she likes but the other kid (Jun), any chances of him thinking he had with her were wiped out. Yeah she was lying but how the hell would he know, it's Hiromi's own fault for doing that giving him the impression that she doesn't like him in that way and that she likes some other boy.
Oh and those "little hints" could be taken as Hiromi just being nice as a close friend to him why would he think otherwise that she may actually like him when she has already told him it's the other kid she likes.
Guess people have forgotten about what happen at the end of ep 3 and the beggining of ep 4 huh. Seriously people give Shin a damn break.

Oh, and yes, I haven't watched episodes three and four for two weeks and one week, respectively, as I am much too lazy to torrent it (and now I can't). After Youtube's thorough pwning of both True Tears (but surprisingly not Shigofumi) off of their site, I luckily had a source from which I could watch these parts (on Youtube.)
And I guess he would be pretty nervous and such, since she was so straightforward when admitting her "feelings" for Jun, but a lot of guys aren't like that, and would usually continue "pushing".

permanentely bored
it s funny to see that everyone use the same method as aiko describe to get close to the one they like.
noe comes to hiromi in order to get closer to shin
tomoyo confuse hiromi/noe having lunch together with hiromi making a move toward jun and gives her her support.
since hiromi tried to use the same method when she asked shin to introduce her to noe as a mean to get close not to jun but to shin she tries to avoid noe by doing lunch training in order not to let none get anycloser to shin than she already is.
for the people that are "anyone but hiromi" you have to concider that she is bound to seal her feeling because she is now the daughter of shin's familly beside with her step-mother pulling a cinderella on her she cant do anything without suffering severe fallout, just look at what happened when she went on a walk with shin to deliver the sake or when they came back from school. she is being forced to lie for the sake of this familly stability.
Aiko is really touching i m curious about what is going to happen next eps, either she confess and shin is like WTF? or she hides the sweater and stirs the pot a bit longuer until she is either confronted by nobuse or she just breaks down in front of shin.
i m guessing the next episode title : " what kind of joke is that " is more shin's general feeling about all the events that will take place in a near futur not just to aiko's hypothetical confession, i m guessing that hell will break loose in the next episode and real drama will devastate a few characters. shin being the nice guy he is will not realise he is the key factor to all of this until the very last moment and will only think that all this is just a tasteless joke from fate / god etc (pick wichever you like)
sidenote what are the cookies aiko is doing? when i went to japan i never got the oportunity to try those (yet god knows i tried every little bit food i could test)

sniffle I muppet voted 9 instead of 10, let it be known that the poll should have one more 10 and i am a spaz.
Really liking this series more then the others (apart from spicey wolf and clannad).
Noe noe noe noe!!!! Trust the Noe! Before Good Boy met Noe, he was stuck in a rut trying to draw some emo picture, but after meeting with the Noe he is able to draw again. Sure it is some crazy chicken story, but hey if it is a children's picture book it can fly right?
I'm a bit torn by Good Boy's character, even though he is quite rightly described as a Good Boy, me thinks he would jump into Hiromi's arms even if she is his half sister or any other touchy issue given half the chance.
Not that I don't like her, but it is hard to tell what her real character is like, I mean she is the modern day Cinderella, but thank goodness the dad and Good Boy aren't the fugly sisters.
I also like and understand Aiko's character (or well what I think of it), as the hole she might have dug herself into is such a easy one to fall into.
But Noe is a shiny star and makes my heart flutter. I wuv you Noe!!! You can have my tears any day! She actually reminds me of Ayane from Gate Keepers 21 (or maybe her aunt is a better choice) and I keep expecting her to lob a phone at someone....

As much as I love this show's quality, this ep gets a 7 from me.
We don't see anything new that we haven't known before and it's just a continuation of everything from before. Sure, Aiko seems to be making a move and Hiromi got miffed by Shinichiro, but that was basically it..
This is as close to a filler episode as it could get for this show.

Don't Be Afraid To Travel And Use These Tips
Do you want to go somewhere? It can be great to take a trip, whether for family, business, or just enjoyment. To do this, though, you need to learn how to travel properly. Even the most experienced traveler can forget something.
Don't bring a lot of valuables on any trip. If you decide to bring valuables, you could lose them, or they could even be stolen.
Air travel requires a bit of planning. It can be difficult navigating traffic in big cities, where many airports are located. Dealing with rush hour traffic will only make it worse. Pack up all your suitcases the night before you travel. Make sure that everything is ready with plenty of time to spare. It is horrible to miss a flight.
Build in some flexibility about where you go when planning a vacation. Though you may enjoy visiting the same locale as a favorite, you can enjoy some variety and new memories by choosing an untested destination. Also, picking new destinations can be a money-saving technique.
Door Stopper
For extra safety when staying in a hotel, bring a door stopper with you. Occasionally, particularly when you travel in countries that are less developed, it's important to stay in a hotel room that has more security. If the door on your room doesn't have an extra deadbolt or chain in addition to the main lock, place the door stopper beneath the door before you head to bed.
It is customary to tip any hotel staff that makes your stay easier. Standard tips are generally $1 for each piece of luggage, and $2-$5 for the housekeeper each day of your stay. That ensures that the people in charge of your service are happy and helpful.
Be sure to dress in casual, simple shoes that can be quickly removed. You will be required to remove your shoes at the security checkpoints, and you may want to take them off while in the air. Comfort is paramount. You don't need a lot of support for a little walking and a lot of sitting. Sandals of flip-flops are great when traveling by air.
Stores often overcharge for such products, and the space you save is minimal. Look for innovative ways to fold your clothing in a manner that saves space. Some of these techniques can give you much more room in your bag.
Car Insurance
If you plan to rent a car during vacation, make sure that you review your auto insurance before leaving home. Many times, people think they need rental car insurance when they actually don't. Car insurance policies typically incorporate some coverage in terms of third-party liability. Check your policy in advance to save extra money.
For sheer time savings, making your travel arrangements on the Internet beats the competition hands down. When you visit a good travel site, you can plan an excellent itinerary quickly and easily. You can book everything you need for your trip, from rental cars to flights to hotel rooms, all from the comfort of your computer. When using the computer, you can see both reviews and pictures of all available hotels in an instant. Travel sites also show reviews of hotels along with photos of rooms and their facilities.
When traveling by cruise ship, try to talk with the other passengers at the formal dinners. On many ships, you will be seated at a large table near people you haven't met. Enjoy yourself and speak to everyone you meet. You'll probably see them daily, and you might learn something about the ship when you do.
Now you know what you need to make a great trip happen. Having a shrewd travel personality is essential to putting together an awesome trip for you as well as any companions you have. Your knowledge about traveling and preparation can really make the difference between an okay trip and an amazing one.

Three megatrends culminated in online business development in 2016, requiring attorneys to change their digital marketing tactics and to re-focus on what produces results.
- Your next client will most likely visit you using a smartphone, not a desktop computer. New data from comScore shows that digital media time spent on mobile devices is now a whopping 68%. Desktop computers account for only one third of digital time spent. Ask yourself: What does your law firm website look like on a cell phone?
- On social media, Facebook is by far the most effective. Facebook is social media to consumers. Sixty-six percent of adults log onto Facebook every day, according to Social Media Explorer. Eighty percent of consumers use the Facebook smartphone app. It is also on almost half of users' smartphone home screens, according to comScore. How many likes and followers does your Facebook page have?
- A majority of Americans are likely to retain a lawyer who is active on social media. Fifty-four percent of consumers say they would likely retain an attorney who is active on Facebook, Twitter or Linked-In, according to research by Thomson Reuters. This is especially true for younger Americans between the ages of 18-44. When was the last time you updated your firm's Facebook page?
The New Social Order
To grasp how much things have changed online in 2016, it is useful to compare the current number of active users on the social media that most lawyers use. (Source: Smartinsights.com)
- Facebook: 1.59 billion (by far the largest, fastest growing medium);
- Instagram: 400 million (a Facebook property);
- Twitter: 320 million (total of users is stagnant);
- Snapchat: 200 million (growing rapidly); and
- LinkedIn: 100 million (now just a resumé site with little engagement).
Did you notice that YouTube was not on the list? That's because Snapchat (the mobile app to send videos that disappear after a few seconds) has more than 10 billion daily views, which exceeds even YouTube — the original site to showcase video content.
Twitter has degraded into a firehose of content, where law firms must post around the clock to break through the noise. Twitter is not a place where consumers spend a lot of time because most tweets include a link that sends them someplace else. Twitter's best use it to try to send traffic to your website.
LinkedIn has become a silent dumping ground for self-promotional messages and links that lead away from the site. I manage 10 LinkedIn groups and despite my best efforts, there is hardly any interaction. I spend most of my time weeding out spam and removing people who post about topics that are irrelevant to the group.
Maximizing Results on Facebook
This brings us back to Facebook, which is now the social medium where attorneys should market. Absorb the fact that Facebook:
- Has far more engagement with people than LinkedIn or Twitter.
- Is the second most used web browser (after Chrome).
- Has the highest percentage of daily users.
- Has the highest average number of daily sessions.
- Is where most Americans get their news.
- Is where 34% of consumers find help to select a service provider, like a lawyer, plumber or doctor.
How did this happen? Two other megatrends converged in 2016. One began in 2009 when Baby Boomers (66 million) began using Facebook to stay in touch with their children and grandkids. The second culminated in April 2016 when the Millennial generation (75 million) overtook the Boomers as the largest generation in history. Millennials are all over Facebook.
Numbering about one quarter of the U.S. population, Millennials have spending power projected to reach $1.4 trillion in just four years. They are launching businesses, buying cars and starting families.
Millennials are digital natives who grew up with the Internet always in their lives. They work and play on cell phones. They are also all over social media, sharing, liking, snapping, forwarding, and commenting on all their findings. They are socially conscious and expect law firms to demonstrate corporate responsibility. They are visually oriented and tell stories with pictures more than words.
Facebook is not for sending traffic to your website. The idea is to engage people who are already there on Facebook, by liking their posts, sharing them, too, and responding to their comments. Your own posts should be designed to get people to know, like and trust you. This is accomplished by posting videos of attorneys volunteering at a community event, by posting photos of your staff appreciation event, and by posting stories that humanize your law firm.
For example, the Shouse Law Group of California, which is very successful at generating new business online, has a Facebook page with cartoons, statistics and scads of glowing reviews by happy clients. Avoid posting self-promotional sales messages. This is akin to a salesman at a cocktail party who pitches everyone he meets to buy insurance. Also, avoid posting your firm's list of jury verdicts, because it makes potential clients think that they'll just be a statistic at your firm.
Moving Pictures
Video goes over very well on Facebook. Just make sure to upload your video directly to Facebook — don't link to YouTube videos. This is referred to as a "native" upload, which Facebook auto-plays without sound. Caveat: Do not upload a video of a lawyer sitting in front of a bookcase, talking to the camera. Nobody wants to see that.
Informative Visuals
Infographics also succeed on Facebook. Nowadays, people tell stories with pictures, and a graphic works much better than a wall of text. Rhode Island personal injury lawyers d'Oliveira & Associates are masters of this, and have a library of more than 100 infographics.
Take Your Own Pictures
Your firm's lawyers should start to use the camera on their cell phones, and take pictures of places they go in their law practice. This can include a selfie in front of the Hall of Justice, a picture from a partner's 20th anniversary party, or a photo of the softball team that the firm is sponsoring.
For example, the Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb of West Palm Beach, FL, has a funny cover photo on Facebook showing the staff on Red Nose day, sticking out their tongues and wearing funny red clown noses. The Red Nose campaign raises money for impoverished children. Nearly 500 people have liked the page.
Brand Ambassadors
Above all, generate shareable material. Think how much more effective this is than touting yourself on your website. It's better to have others share your brand with their friends. Engaged Millennials will be your brand ambassadors, and few law firms have awakened to the opportunity yet.
For example, the Sinas Dramis personal injury law firm of Grand Rapids, MI, sponsored its "Lids for Kids" Bike Helmet Giveaway and Safety Event last summer. At the event, the firm gave away 439 bike helmets to children. Each was custom-fitted by trained volunteers to help prevent a brain injury in a bike-related accident. The event was shared far and wide by young people.
"This audience can spread the good word about your firm, for your firm," says Kate Stromberg, a millennial who is marketing director of Network Affiliates in Colorado. "If you can create an experience with your brand, Millennials will become messengers for your brand and ambassadors about the experience you provided for them."
Law firms are also turning to employees as beacons for their brands. The use of employee social advocacy programs has grown about 191% since 2013, according to Social Media Explorer. What could be more effective than having your superstar employees sharing your law firm's Facebook posts with their own friends?
The evidence shows that social media is no longer optional in law firm marketing. Your potential clients and referral sources are on their cell phones, checking into Facebook several times a day. By giving them something to share with their network, your firm will generate positive word-of-mouth and encourage recommendations. Facebook marketing is all about building trust. And once your visitors trust you, the rest will take care of itself.

The dog friendly beach is several blocks to the north and extends 3 and ½ miles to the town of Cayucos. Beachgoers will share the waves with surfers, kite-boarding, boogie boarders, dolphins, and otters in front of our home! Seabirds, sand dollars and shells are abundant too. Within a short walk down the beach you can explore the tide pools and rocks. Fish in the surf, build sand castles, fly kites, or just relax in the sun. The sunsets are absolutely spectacular from the front patio, living room, kitchen, dining room or in front of the fireplace with a good book.
Our location on quiet Beachcomber Drive is a favorite for families, walkers, runners, and bicyclists, who enjoy the easy walk with incredible views. You don't have to get in your car, quiet neighborhood streets and bike trails lead you two miles to the Embarcadero with shops, restaurants and activities of Morro Bay. Golfers have choices too - just 4 miles to Morro Bay golf course with incredible views and very reasonable prices. Another local course, Dairy Creek, is just 10 miles away. Many other activities are close by: deep-sea fishing, Hearst Castle, wine tasting at some of the best wineries on the Central Coast, observing the elephant seals, monarch butterflies and blue herons, kayaking in the estuary, shopping on the Embarcadero, antiques, art galleries in Cambria and, of course, San Luis Obispo with its Farmer's Market and Mission are within a short and scenic drive. For all those necessities, one local grocery store is less than 1 mile away and Albertsons and CVS pharmacy are less than 3 miles away.
Numerous special community events include the January Bird Festival, Cayucos' incredible classic car show, Fourth of July Parade and Morro Bay Fireworks, Morro Bay October Harbor Fest, and the December Boat Parade. There is something for everyone, especially fun and relaxation!!
We've priced our home to be a good value for your vacation. It was built in the '60s and designed to take full advantage of the incredible views. The home has newer carpeting, all new furnishings, a wood fireplace with gas lighter, tiled kitchen and baths, new linens, towels, fully equipped kitchen, and has been freshly painted throughout. The master bedroom has a king bed, large walk-in closet, flat screen TV, and spectacular views. The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed, access to a private deck and also has views of the ocean. The kitchen and bathrooms are small by today's standards but are newly tiled, painted cute and clean. We use the sun room as a 3rd bedroom with a queen bed. There is also a double-sized futon in the dining room area. The master bath has a shower only, the guest bath includes a shower/tub combination, the full-sized washer and dryer are in the garage. The backyard is fenced and secluded, full of flowering plants and fresh herbs.
There is a back patio with table and chairs, and a front patio with table and chairs so you can enjoy either the fire pit or cocktails at sunset. A Weber propane BBQ grill can easily be moved to either location. We've furnished the home with games, flat-screen TV's, beach toys, beach towels, beach chairs, home theater system with IPod dock, a fully-equipped kitchen with microwave, coffeemaker, blender, mixer, toaster, kitchen tools, wine glasses, sets of indoor and outdoor dishes and glasses, and basic spices and condiments.

The owners have lived full time at Lake Tahoe for over 30 years and enjoy all the recreation activities of the mountains. With three boys in college we finally had time to look for our vacation home. We live in the mountains but love the coast too and found this incredible location for our vacation spot. Close to San Luis Obispo (20 minutes) but a low traffic small town atmosphere.
Wally Auerbach purchased this house in 2010
We researched and visited coastal spots throughout California, travelling up and down the coast. We chose Morro Bay for the combination of great activities, climate, and small town atmosphere for our relaxation. We wanted to be able to park the car and just enjoy! Watching the ocean from our living room, kitchen, bedroom and patio!
Beach walks everyday with friends, family and dogs! Watching the surfers from the house and at the Cayucos pier. Bicycling, hiking, golfing, fishing, and relaxing!!! Fresh grilled oysters and the great seafood at the harbor. The best views are the dawn sunlight on the waves and the magical sunsets every evening.
Well, I am here to say, your house in Morro Bay is FANTASTIC!! We rented it for the Cal-Poly graduation weekend in June of 2010. It was the first (and only so far) VRBO rental we've tried, and your house far exceeded my expectations! It is beautiful, and accurately described on the VRBO website. Each and every time I came up with a need, all I had to do was open a drawer or cupboard, and there was whatever it was that I was looking for. Your house was amazingly stocked!! From the kitchen to the wet suit, we needed for nothing. I was pleased with the quality of everything in the house as well; from the cookware to the linens! And YES, I would stay there again.... actually, I looked for the Thanksgiving weekend, but someone beat me to it!! It was delightfully clean when we arrived.
You are a very fortunate couple to own this property! It is truly a special place.
Wine tasting, 3 blocks to dog friendly beach, bike path
The beach house has a fantastic view of the ocean. We were very fortunate to stay when it was unusually balmy -We walked along the beach on a warm October evening, feeling the gentle Santa Ana wind. It was mesmerizing to watch the sun set in the huge picture window.
The house was well-kept and well-equipped for any type of activity. We loved the different sitting areas inside and out to enjoy the views. Definitely a place we would love to come back to create more memories.
The property was great for my family for the week. Made a great base camp for all our day trips and then come back in the evening to listen to the waves. We loved being able to walk across the street to the beach. My husband was so happy to have the Dodger channel so he never missed a game. It was a wonderful week.
If VRBO offered a 6 star rating, this house warrants it. Beautiful location above the beach. Close proximity to many small central California beach communities and Hearst Castle. Owners have thought of everything a guest (human or canine) could need or want. We have never stayed in a home rental that was stocked and maintained as well as this one. We spent a week in August, 2017 and hope to return twice in 2018.
Very enjoyable stay. The house was very well stocked, from storage bags to spices, boogie boards to laundry detergent! Wonderful views, beautiful sunsets and a very quick walk to the beach. Comfortable beds and helpful instructions rounded out our beach vacation.
Comfortable well kept home. Plenty of space for everyone to find a cozy spot to rest. The view is great and lends itself to family meals at the dinner table or by the living room windows. We plan to visit again next year. Thank you Mr. Auerbach for allowing our family to enjoy your wonderful home.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. You can walk to the beach easily and also enjoy the view of the beach from the house. The kitchen was well-stocked, had everything we needed for our meals, and the use of the grill was convenient. Owner is very responsive.
A small caveat for those with kids, we had two toddlers with us (1.5 and 2) and there were many breakable items that we had to move to higher shelves to prevent any accidents, but was not a big deal to do this and move them back before we left. The dining room table has carpet, but again, we put some beach towels down underneath the kids at meal times and it was no big deal. Highly recommend.

Foley family tell of emotion at squad's Number 8 tribute
Stander: ' This was for Axel'; Parents speak of sheer pride
It was the ultimate tribute to a fallen hero, and a fitting response to the psychological warfare of the haka.
The family of Anthony Foley have revealed how moved they were by the emotional tribute to the late rugby star ahead of Ireland's historic defeat of the All Blacks.
In a poignant scene just before the kick-off in Chicago, the Irish squad formed a figure of eight - Foley's number - as they faced down the famously intimidating New Zealand haka.
Setting the mood for a defiant performance, Ireland went on to stun the rugby world and end a 111-year wait for a win over the world champions.
Beating them decisively 40-29, the scoreline was also an exact reversal of the result the last time Foley played against them.
"To say that we were touched by how Ireland faced the New Zealand haka, drawing inspiration from the number eight, would be an understatement," said Foley's family on a Facebook page set up in memory of the coach known as "Axel".
"Ironically, 15 years ago Anthony played for Ireland against and lost to New Zealand on a score of......40-29.
"Last night's Irish response to the haka was incredible remembrance."
Munster's head coach died suddenly in Paris last month, hours before the province's scheduled Champions Cup opener against Racing 92, which was then postponed.
Read more: 'We put the Munster lads on the front line' - Rory Best explains emotional pre-match tribute to Anthony Foley
The 42-year-old had won 63 caps for Ireland and spearheaded Munster's rise to the top of the European game, as the Thomond Park province won two Heineken Cup titles.
In Chicago, proud flanker CJ Stander admitted he could never have helped Ireland to the unforgettable defeat over New Zealand without his rugby "rock" Foley.
Stander fronted the figure-of-eight tribute formation alongside Conor Murray, Donnacha Ryan and Simon Zebo at Soldier Field.
"We made a figure of eight; for me personally, Murray and all the Munster boys to stand at the front, that was big," he said.
"He meant so much to me, he was really the rock in my rugby the last four years.
"He showed me a lot about what he'd learned over the years. I think he pushed me to the next level."
Stander added: "Everything we gave was for him. So this match was for Axel."
Family and friends of the team couldn't hide their pride following the inspiring win.
Tony Henshaw, father to 23-year old-Robbie, said that he was "proud as punch" of his son, who scored Ireland's winning try.
"I got nervous when there was just four points in it, and the next thing our fella sails in and that was it. The try was straight off the training pitch," he said.
"He put in a lot of crunching tackles and he took some big hits himself, so he's pretty sore this morning. But he doesn't mind, it was well worth it."
Zebo's mother Lynda was another proud parent after the match.
"We're absolutely ecstatic. We're so delighted for the team, for Simon, for everybody. It's so wonderful for us and the family, and such a tribute to Ireland," she said.
Sinead Ryan from Athy RFC said that they were "unbelievably proud" of former member Joey Carbery, who won his first cap on Saturday.
"Joey's dad, also called Joey, is our senior coach and he and our president went out as representatives of the club, so we managed to get a little bit of representation out," she said.
She added that Joey's family had visited the club's broadcast of the match on Saturday night. "Joey's mam and brother and sister came up to the club last night," she said. "I've never seen the club as packed as it was here that night."
Kieran Ryan from Murray's former stomping ground, Garryowen FC, said that winning the match was "priceless".
"Everyone's coming in with their stories about watching the match today. We feel 10 feet taller today," he said.
"I'm standing looking at a photo of him with a bad haircut in an under-20s jersey. We're jumping out of the seats.
"Conor had a starring role from start to finish.
"People talk about Munster versus the All Blacks in '78, but to see this in my lifetime is phenomenal."

This will be the last BB Cream review I do for a while until I use up what I have (don't worry, it's not actually that much!). For this coming week I will be posting about getting ready for a cosplay, or at least how I get ready. Visit daily to stay updated ♥
Ellesoie Crystal BB Cream
I actually got this BB Cream in Japan and bought it purely because the lady recommended it to me even though either of us could really understand what the other was saying and I was willing to try whatever. It has an SPF of 24 PA++ which isn't as high as the other BB creams that I've rated. For some weird reason I keep thinking that it's a pull off lid as well when it's a twist and I end up trying to pull it every.single.time!
This BB cream has a thin liquidy and smooth consistency which made it easy to apply. It's meant to be a the base and foundation and emphasises its moisturising qualities so I'm expecting pretty good coverage and moisturised skin for my day out today.
Before and After
The coverage wasn't as strong as I hoped it would be (not bad but not great), even when I applied more it didn't make much of a difference. It kept my skin moisturised during my whole day out and felt really comfortable on which was definitely a plus. Checking my skin during the day coverage was still okay but looking closely it didn't sat right. It was a little shiny to begin with but didn't get any worse during the day it just kind of "melted" a bit up close. I gave this BB cream a 3/5 because it had what BB creams has but nothing extra besides the good skin moisturising effects.

Buyer beware with Uber

Oh great, this is all we need. Kaspersky Lab, a big antivirus software company, has been hacked, according to the Register. That seems to be the conclusion based on evidence posted on HackersBlog yesterday.
The hacker apparently launched a simple attack (SQL injection) that gave access to a database containing "users, activation codes, lists of bugs, admins, shop, etc." Dan Goodin at the Register reports that this kind of attack has happened a few dozen times at Kaspersky since 2000.
That's pretty bad PR for Kaspersky, whose job it is to protect us all from malicious hackers. If they can't keep their own data safe and secure, are you going to trust them with yours? That's always been the case in the antivirus and security software industry. Hackers love to embarrass the people who are out to stop them in their tracks.
[update] A Kaspersky spokesman sent the following comment:
On Saturday, February 7, 2009, a vulnerability was detected on a subsection of the usa.kaspersky.com domain when a hacker attempted an attack on the site. The site was only vulnerable for a very brief period, and upon detection of the vulnerability we immediately took action to roll back the subsection of the site and the vulnerability was eliminated within 30 minutes of detection. The vulnerability wasn't critical and no data was compromised from the site.
Kaspersky's site says it protects more than 250 million users worldwide. The company was founded in 1997. The company frequently warns of Internet-related dangers; in this release, it notes that one in every 50 Internet sites is infected with malicious code.
The larger problem isn't that Kaspersky got hacked. It's just happening to everybody. [Update 2, Monday AM] The company's support site was exposed for about ten days to this vulnerability, Kaspersky said in a call today. Roel Schouwenberg, senior anti-virus researcher at Kaspersky, said honestly that this will hurt the reputation of the company and it will do everything it can to protect itself. He said that the company partnered with an external vendor who custom-developed some code for the company. The vulnerability was in that external vendor's code. The company said it has hired outside help to investigate the matter.

An orthodontist and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Remilekun Williams, on Tuesday said the chewing of sticks, in spite of its medicinal value, could pose risks to oral and dental hygiene.
Williams told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that there was a long history of the use of plants as chewing sticks to improve dental health and oral hygiene.
Chewing sticks are mouth cleaning tool that hasve chemical and micro composition suited to clean and protect the teeth.
The commonly used chewing sticks in Nigeria are the miswak, popularly called "Pako Ijebu" or the one got from the lime tree.
According to Williams, there are few health risks associated with the use of chewing sticks.
She said" "The bristles from the stick can penetrate the gums during use and may cause some discomfort and damage to the gum.
"Also, the chewing of stick can only reach the facial surface of the teeth, but cannot reach or clean the inside or lingual surfaces or even the inter-dental spaces between the teeth."
Williams said that there was the tendency to brush for so long and over-extensive scrubbing could damage the gum.
She said that there were specific plant stems and roots used as chewing sticks because of their good flavour and their effect to the teeth and supporting tissues.
"Aside from the chewing of sticks which originated from plants, there are other modern methods of cleaning mouth, like the use of toothpaste, tooth brush and mouth wash.
"The plants used must be fresh because they are more easily chewed into a brush-like fringe, the foaminess, bitterness and the juice extract is antibacterial," she said.
Williams said that some chewing sticks were natural with medicinal properties as they possess the ability to prevent cavities as well strengthen the roots and gums.
"It could also function as a jaw-exerciser and as a spontaneous generation of saliva which is beneficial to oral hygiene and general health," Williams said.

win7 home premium (64-bit)
Safari & Win7 compatiblilty
I have win7 (64bit) and IE 9 brower installed. I'm looking to acquire iPhone 4G
S. Apple wants to install Safari as browser. Does this replace my IE, or can I have both co-exist? Must I do this to have full range of services on iPhone? What are the gotchas with this?
|My System Specs

The gotcha is the fact apple wants to install all their products on everything, and that safari has to be the worst (major) web browser out there (for pc). It is not super speedy and is usually more susceptible to virus attacks than some of the other (major) browsers.
However, yes you can have them co-exist. And no you do not have to install it and it provides no extra functionality to your phone.

Hello Jack, and welcome
Hello Are you using the standard qwerty keyboard? Getting the @ symbol should be universal. Just hit Shift+2, and you'll get it on any browser, document, etc.
Also, you may be able to get better help by creating your own thread. If your problem is different than the original post, it is best practice to create your own.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1
Welcome to Seven Forums Jacksouli. Be aware. Safari is no longer supported for windows. The last version is from May 9, 2012. Safari 6.0 alone patched 121 vulnerabilities that were present in Safari 5.1.7! The 5.1.7 update also included automatic disabling of old versions of Adobe's Flash Player that they consider as not having the most up-do-date security features. Just be aware, you are using a very insecure browser, and have a problem with a continuously insecure addon that is always tops on known attack vectors. A Guy

An idiom a day keeps your English okay! In this series we examine English idioms and teach you how to use them.
A Stitch in Time Saves Nine
First, let's look at the vocabulary of the sentence.
When you sew clothes you stitch them.
You can also use the word stitch about someone who had an accident and went to hospital.
I hit my head and needed 5 stitches!
Even for people who understand every word, this idiom is a strange one. But it's quite simple when you know it.
Imagine a pair of trousers with a little hole in them. If you do nothing, the hole will get bigger. And bigger.
Now that you've waited, the hole is so big it would take NINE stitches to fix it.
If you fix the hole as soon as you notice it, you only need ONE stitch.
'A stitch in time' means – if you stitch the hole at the right time – and the right time is NOW
'saves nine' means – you won't have to do nine stitches later on
This Idiom in Real Life
– This sink is leaking. There's a bit of water coming out. Look.
– Oh, we should get a plumber.
– It's too expensive. Just leave it.
– A stitch in time saves nine.
– You're right. It will be cheaper to repair the leak now than wait for it to get bigger.
It seems expensive to call a plumber for a small job, but it's cheaper than repairing a flooded bathroom!
– I had a big fight with Jack last night.
– Oh?
– Yeah we both said some bad things.
– You should call him now and talk about it. If you leave it too long the problem will get worse.
– You're right. A stitch in time saves nine. I'll call him now.
If she doesn't call Jack, their conflict might get bigger and harder to fix later.
– Hey, man, you look stressed.
– Just a bit.
– What's up?
– I'm going to get kicked out of school. I'm way behind on all my assignments. I've been researching and writing these essays for hours and hours and I've barely made a dent.
– Because you were in hospital? That doesn't seem fair.
– They say they won't help me because I broke my ankle filming amateur Kung Fu videos.
– Wow. That sucks. So what are you going to do?
– Just do as much as I can in the next few weeks, I guess. Hope for the best.
– Wait a minute. Why not get a custom essay writing service to do some of the essays for you? You'll be able to get back on top of your workload.
– Huh. That's not a bad idea. I'll do it on Saturday.
– Dude! Do it now. A stitch in time saves nine!

Shaun Simpson interview – Part II
Last week we spoke to Shaun Simpson about his new Yamaha ride and this week we talk about his team-mate Arnaud Tonus and what he thinks of some changes in the MXGP class.
MXlarge: I did an interview with Arnaud (Tonus), your new team-mate a week or so ago, and we talked about you, and we both agreed you are a good guy and open minded. I said to him I can't imagine having a better team-mate than you, but on the other hand, Arnaud is also a really nice, open minded guy. I can imagine you guys working really well together. He has a great technique and I can imagine you both learning a lot from each other.
Simpson: Yes, definitely, and I totally understand where you are coming from. Arnaud is a top bloke, we have ridden together with Dixon in 2012 and he is on top of my list of team-mates. He is really easy going, never makes a fuss, never makes a scene. He always tries really hard, he comes from a really solid background, his parents a lovely people also. When he goes out on track he gives 100%. I feel like I am a few years older, so maybe with my experience I can help him with some things and I am sure with his style and technique are some of the best out there and I can learn from him. I am a hard working, but I don't have the skill set as Arnaud. Arnaud is a much more talented rider than I am. I think we will work really well together and the whole crew is great, we have a really good crew working together.
MXLarge: Obviously we have the Herlings factor for 2017. What is your opinion on him coming into the class?
Simpson: I think there is no doubt Herlings came through as the same time as Ken Roczen, and Roczen has done amazing things both in America and in the GPs, and is a world class rider, just like Jeffrey. I think there is no doubt Jeffrey will ride up front, win races and be in the championship hunt. But Jeffrey does get over excited, and too often makes mistakes. I wouldn't be surprised if he won the title, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he made a few mistakes and loses points that way. The last few years he has missed out on titles, and a lot of it has been from stupid mistakes he made himself. If he can reign that in, he is in for a shot at the title. But he will have a it tough, it isn't like MX2 where he gets a bad start and passed up until fifth place. In the 450 class you are eating roost outside the top 15 and I can't see him making bad starts and coming through. There are so many good guys in the MXGP class. You know everyone thought Villopoto was going to come over and whitewash the whole thing, even he didn't have an easy path.
MXlarge: As far as next year, you have Jeffrey moving up, Max Anstie moving up, Arnaud is back. We say it every year, that MXGP just gets better, and better, and better. Can you see next year being another classic?
Simpson: I think so, it has all the makings of being another classic. Some riders drop off, like David Philippaerts and you have new guys coming in and old guys going out. It's going to be interesting. I mean Febvre wants redemption, Cairoli has something to prove and regain his title, Paulin has changed teams, Desalle has a shocker this year and will want to do better.
MXLarge: What about the calendar? Two extra rounds.
Simpson: I haven't looked too close to it. I think two extra rounds is a little heavier and no big break in the summer. I always had the British championship to keep me busy and we don't know at the moment if we will do the British championship, we are still working on that. If I do the British championship then I will have something like 29 races, plus Internationals, that makes my season pretty packed out. If I don't do the British championship then I will have a pretty easy season compared to previous years. I don't know if I dislike any of the tracks they put on the calendar, and we have some back like Sweden and Portugal. I am not sure about having the fly away races so far apart. I mean we will have to fly back to Europe from Argentina, then back from Europe back to Mexico, which doesn't make sense for me. That will create more costs for the teams and more travelling. In saying that we won't lose a week on the bikes, we will have to see how that goes.
MXlarge: So what are the chances of you doing the Maxxis in 2017?
Simpson: I think it's like 50/50 at the moment. The last few years KTM UK had supported Steve Turner Racing, and it was important to do those races. Moving to Yamaha, its supported by Europe and they are not too bothered with doing the British championship. They just want to focus on the GP's and as a British rider I want to race in my own country and see my fans, and if we can work out a deal for Yamaha UK, then we will see. I also have to look at the travel and see if its worthwhile doing it. There will be news on that in the coming weeks.

Hydroponic Tulips

How beautiful are these tulips that my husband gave me for Valentine's Day? However, you might notice that those aren't cut flowers. They're tulips with bulbs still intact and sitting in water! These tulips are hydroponic. After my marveling over the air-grown, substrateless epiphyte orchids at Longwood Gardens, it's probably not too surprising that I'm […]

The bond between a dog and his owner is something that is sweet and very strong. Take this man, for example. While on a recent hunting trip in Australia, this man ended up fighting a kangaroo to save his dog from its clutches!
The beginning of the video shows the man in the back of a truck, calling to his dog, "Max" asking him to come here. Apparently the dog was tracking some wild boar by their scent, and didn't realize that there was a kangaroo so close by. When Max doesn't come, his owner becomes extremely worried.
That's when the kangaroo decided to take Max by the throat in a headlock, grasping him so tightly the dog could easily have been suffocated and injured. What the kangaroo didn't know is that not only was he putting the dog's life in danger, his life was in danger as well – if the wild boar had decided to run, the two could have been killed by the tusks or trampled.
That's when the owner decided he needed to intervene. Running at the kangaroo, trying to distract it from strangling the dog, the owner puts his own life in danger for his four legged friend. The kangaroo doesn't let up right away – he continued to try and kick Max's legs out from under him. But as his owner drew closer, the kangaroo finally let Max go to give his full attentions to his owner. That's when something crazy happened. The owner punched the kangaroo right in the face! The kangaroo then took off in the opposite direction, apparently going to think about what he had been doing.
A crazy, scary situation had a happy ending for Max and his owner. I'm sure they'll be more wary of kangaroos during their hunt in the future.
Watch the crazy video below!

Krank Event's Long Adventure Races will be 5+ hour weekend races that focus on getting you out into the wilderness. Due to the wilderness locations, races that include extended night-time adventure require teams of 2-4 people.
Long Adventure Race Regular Course Description
Our long courses will be setup to provide a challenge to everyone who participates.
The courses will include trekking, mountain biking, and water disciplines (where possible). We will generally try to mix in as much single track trails and good off-trail trekking as we can and will see if we can't find you some great views as well.
The courses are likely to have a {tip Remote TA::A case where you transition from one discipline to another (e.g. bike to foot) in an area that is remote from the race HQ.}remote transition area{/tip}. If we will be moving gear for you, it will be specified in the Racers Packet. You should always be ready to put your shoes in your pack (or attach them to your pack) so that you can ride to a remote location, drop your bike, put on your trekking shoes and head out on foot. Not all courses will have a remote transition area.
One of our goals is to make it possible for most people to finish. To help with this, if you need to miss checkpoints to finish before the closure time, you will not be disqualified. Rather, you will ranked first based on how many checkpoints you found and second by time. So, if you want to take it slower, just figure out which checkpoints to get and which to miss to ensure that you will be done before the course closure time.
In these races, the checkpoint locations may not be easy to find, so the challenge is to have accurate navigation. Some checkpoints may require a little bit of searching. In a section of the course, checkpoints will either be sequential or random. This will be indicated on your passport. If they are sequential, you must go to each checkpoint in the order specified on the passport. If a section of the course is specified as a random section, you can go to any checkpoint in that section in any order.
Long Adventure Race Pro-Checkpoint Description
For people who expect to finish early, we may offer Pro-Checkpoints (depending on the specific race). These are extra checkpoints that you can find at certain locations along the course. They will be identified on the passport as Pro-Checkpoints. To get credit for a Pro-Checkpoint, you must also have gotten all of the Regular Checkpoints. The Pro Checkpoints are generally more difficult and are always optional.
As mentioned above, you will be ranked based first on the number of Checkpoints (that you receive credit for) and second by time. So, if you believe that you have spare time, then it is beneficial to go get as many Pro-Checkpoints as you can. No Pro-Checkpoint will be worth getting if it causes you to finish after the course closure, since the penalty for being late is disqualification.
Long Adventure Race Timing
On our Long courses, we will have an average team regular course time. This is usually in the race name. So, a 24hr race is planned to take at least 24hrs for an average team to finish (without getting Pro-Checkpoints). There will also have a course cutoff time listed. For example, a 24hr race may have a 30hr course cutoff. If you finish after 30hrs, your team will be disqualified. So, it is better to skip checkpoints than to finish after the cutoff. We may also have cutoff times along the course. These will generally be indicated on your passport. If you are cutoff along the course, you will be required to skip the next section of the course or to skip a set of subsequent checkpoints (to get you back on track to finish in a reasonable time).

Curry County Commissioners David Brock Smith and David Itzen again overrode Commissioner Susan Brown in a decision to Wednesday to approve the annexation of the Brookings Airport into the city of Brookings.
The approval, however comes with the stipulation that if the city decides to put the airport into its Urban Renewal Area (URA), all economic development projects must be approved by both commissioners and the city council.
The stipulation was included because when land is placed into a URA and assessed for tax purposes, any future assessment increases - a maximum of 3 percent a year - go to the city's URA fund, and none to the county or other taxing districts.
URAs are created to make improvements to "blighted" areas, and Brookings is the only city that has such a district in Curry County. They are typically in place for 15 years; Brookings' was established in August 2002.
The county lost out on $30,000 last year alone on revenue that could have been collected for county services but instead went to the URA, county Finance Director Jim Kolen said. Schools lost $543,000 last year.
The city wants to annex 157.62 acres of land - of which the county-owned property is 95.8 acres - into the city boundaries so it can proceed with plans to construct a 1-million-gallon water tank to serve the airport, surrounding neighborhoods and future growth.
The city received a $1.7 million grant to build the water tank and lines to augment the city's system, which currently doesn't provide enough water pressure at the airport. As part of the grant, the city must pony up $1 million, which it will recoup from existing neighborhoods and future development that taps into that infrastructure.
City ordinance requires any property served by water or sewer lines be within city boundaries.
Commissioner Susan Brown voted against the annexation saying that she still didn't see why the county couldn't keep its airport lands in the county and craft Inter-Governmental Agreements (IGAs) to allow the city's new sewer and water infrastructure to cross its property.
"The airport doesn't have to be annexed in order to have the project go forward," she said. "We could do it with IGAs and a change in the (city's) ordinance. The county could give easements for access across the airport."
That way, the county would maintain control over the 25.5 acres of land that is not part of the airport and guide future development - and reap any tax benefits - there. The county continues to own the airport, regardless.
Seven property owners, who own 54.4 acres of land there, have agreed to the annexation, even though it will mean higher property taxes for city services.
"We've been through at least four meetings on this issue," Smith said. "This is part of the city of Brookings' comprehensive plan. This is a good thing for the city of Brookings and it will be beneficial for the county's economic recovery."
Commissioners have said they suspect the city would ultimately like to own the airport. But County Attorney Jerry Herbage noted that for that to occur, the state would have to approve, as it has the first right of refusal in such a sale.
City Manager Gary Milliman said he would report the county's decision at the city's next meeting, March 11, at which point city staff could begin annexation proceedings.

Booking a place to stay in Barcelona – how much does it cost?
Barcelona has no shortage of city centre accommodation, ranging from budget options to the top 5-star Deluxe offerings. But the difficulty of finding where to stay is in the dates and the seasons. Apparently the whole world is queuing up to fly to lively Barcelona for short stay trips. The city hosts business fairs and sporting and cultural events taking place all year.

Catalunya's overnight tax for tourists
Remember that if you stay in Barcelona in a hotel or (in most apartments) you will be be asked to pay a small local tax based on the number of nights you stay when checking in. This tax applies throughout the Catalunya region of Spain and was approved by the Catalan region adminsitration in 2012. It is in line with similar "per night" tourist charges levvied in cities like Rome and Amsterdam.
What does The Spain Event think about the "Catalan Tourist Tax?
It won't break your budget and contributes to the upkeep and improvement of services and environment in this wonderful city!
