Business is a generic term that encompasses all the fields. How about investing in a business that is fun and frolic for others and a good return for you of course? A business that is much safer than stocks and shares holdings. You may be having some land or may be you can convert your lawn or your backyard into a mini playground? As all business needs investment the primary requirement is to invest in the capital. So we need to do the shopping for this business purpose as well. If we are bothered about the dreaded statement as to "HOW CAN I GET THE ENTIRE CAPITAL FUNDING FOR THIS BUSINESS?" RELAX. There are franchisee options too. They can only be too happy to provide the technical guidance and infrastructure needed for this purpose. Even manufacturers assist you about this.
There are so many products to choose from. How about children slides, A Tree house or may be a multi play ground? You can go shopping right away to check the garden benches or climbers or even a giraffe slide. You have so many manufacturers who sell their products as per your specifications and on line shopping could never have been so easy. Moreover almost all manufacturers provide the equipments that are not hazardous to this planet. If you have the land or planning to invest in properties, then just go ahead and invest on playground equipments. You have the playground equipments for all ages, which mean you can pre, determine your business line in this prospective venture.
Even mall owners and premises that are frequented by kids can start this line of business. The nature of business is such that it keeps on generating revenue for you. Let us conceptualize this by working out a conservative estimate for the amount you will be charging per person and see how it increases your earnings everyday.
You have invested $1000 dollars for a giraffe slide or a room filled with rubber balls. For every kid who enters your playground premises, the charge would be a measly 25cents per kid for say 30 minutes. It is also possible that mothers may leave their kids for a longer time when they go for shopping. Assuming there are only 50 kids who visit your premises per day it works out to
$312 for 25 days and during weekends and holidays let us estimate 100 kids. So for the remaining 5 days that's a weekend when shopping is at its frenzy, mothers do leave their kids onto your premises. That's another $125 in your kitty. So your net revenue generated is close to $450 per month. This means that within 2 months period, you have made up your investment and the future months are sheer profits. Is there any other form of business that offers you a return in such a short time?
Just imagine the returns on investment that you get by purchasing the playground equipments.
You have many options in buying these equipments. Some are indoor and others are outdoor equipments. There are many ways of creating this awareness. May be you could handout mailers to your neighborhoods and even insert a small advertisement in your local news paper. One thing is for sure that the kids would certainly advertise your premises by word of mouth.
For more inquiries, Google the reliable search engine is always there at your fingertips and you can get in touch with your local playground equipment dealer .Instead of having the usual rigmaroles of calling up clients and having the payment follow-ups, have the paradise in your premises frequented only by kids and see your business expand beyond the horizon. This is the right time to invest in this potential goldmine before some one else snatches this ideal opportunity from you. The business line that you can surely rely upon.

MOGADISHU, Somalia Aug 20 2012 (Garowe Online) – President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed pardoned over 200 convicts some of whom were Al Shabaab agents including foreign fighters, a day before the new Somali parliament is sworn in, Garowe Online reports.
The former Transitional Federal Government (TFG) President Sharif released the 219 convicts on the holy day for Muslims Eid. The Minister for Religious Affairs Ahmed Hassan Gaboobe stated that these people were pardoned to commemorate the holy day of celebration.
"We released the inmates in celebration of Eid. These convicts were jailed after being convicted of minor crimes," said Minister Gaboobe.
However sources close to Garowe Online said that many of the released convicts were not convicted of minor crimes but had been convicted of being Al Shabaab agents and committing violent crimes in Mogadishu.
Minister Gaboobe stated that there were 7 convicted foreign Al Shabaab fighters that were released from Mogadishu's Gaal Shire prison after being pardoned by Sheikh Sharif. Those foreign convicts according to unconfirmed reports were sentenced to death by a Mogadishu court.
Although in Islamic culture it is common to forgive and pardon those convicted of minor charges on Eid, some Mogadishu residents were worried that convicted agents of the Al Shabaab terror network could be lurking the streets of Mogadishu.
"I'm worried that people who were contributing or associated with committing acts of terror on Mogadishu and Somali residents will be free to roam the streets," said Mohamed Amiin who in 2010 fled Al Shabaab in Marko and moved to Mogadishu.
It is unclear if the TFG President's pardon mandate extends to the release of foreign fighters convicted of terrorism charges.
Some of the convicts that were released had been convicted of minor crimes and the pardoned included 8 women.
Despite setbacks Somali shifts towards a permanent government in the next couple of days with the parliamentary meeting scheduled for Monday a new Speaker of Parliament will be decided.
The much awaited Somali Presidential elections date will be decided by parliament following a vote of Speaker.

Once More, With Feeling
As he accepts the nomination for a second term, President Bush tries to convince a nation he's the right man for the job
Just after 7 every morning, President Bush sits at his big mahogany desk in the Oval Office, sips a cup of black coffee, and learns of the latest potential horrors planned by the world's evildoers. These supersecret briefings tend to be downers for most of his senior aides because, one says, "mostly the intelligence business is telling you about what can go wrong." But Bush generally draws something positive from the experience. In recent weeks, he has been impressed by what he considers the high degree of international cooperation in the hunt for terrorists. Even though the war in Iraq and some of his other policies are unpopular abroad, he believes that, behind the scenes, law enforcement, intelligence, and military authorities are working hard around the globe to arrest, neutralize, and destroy the bad guys. He sees it as a growing "community of interest" that didn't exist 3 1/2 years ago.
This is the kind of optimism that impresses Bush's admirers, who see it as healthy. It also, of course, unsettles his detractors, who call it naive.
As the president prepares to accept renomination at the Republican National Convention this week, voters are sharply divided over whether Bush's sunny and determined outlook is what the nation needs and whether they want a continuation of Bush's controversial policies for another four years. Bush's challenge is complicated by the fact that it's not exactly "morning in America," the phrase Ronald Reagan used to such good effect in winning re-election 20 years ago. The country is at war, the economy is shaky, and large numbers of Americans have real doubts about the future. So far, Bush has served up a pretty thin gruel in outlining his menu of priorities for a second term. But he says that will change when he gives his acceptance speech at the convention Thursday night, and he believes strongly that the voters will give him a second term. "My support is very strong and very deep," the president told U.S. News in an Oval Office interview last Friday, fresh from campaigning in New Mexico. ". . . Big crowds . . . and that's a good sign. I mean, people, are they for me? ". . . It sure feels that way. Secondly, we've got a very smart strategy, but thirdly, we've got the issues and the philosophy. People are going to have to make up their mind who best to lead in the war on terror, who can handle crises, who can make decisions and stick with them, and at home who understands the environment we're in. In other words, this is a changing world, and therefore the proper role of government is to help people adapt to the changing world and give them the tools necessary to succeed. When it' s all said and done, I believe that I will be here for the next four years and be honored to do so, I might add."
White House officials and Bush allies say there is no way Bush's second-term agenda will be as bold or visionary as his first. With a staggering annual deficit projected at about $445 billion this year, Bush won't have much money to spend on new programs. Congress will remain closely and bitterly divided, probably resulting in a renewed stalemate on Capitol Hill. Most important, Bush still considers it his main mission to win the war on terrorism, and this would absorb most of his time and energy.

Notre Dame's report card vs. Arizona State came through cleanly

RUN OFFENSE: .. B- .. Getting George Atkinson the ball early and often seemed like an obvious —and effective — strategy early against Arizona State's sub-par run defense. Atkinson ran the ball six times on the first drive, then went quiet for the rest of the half as the Irish offense adjusted to favor the throw. Atkinson didn't break away on any jaw-dropping runs tonight, but he did exactly what the Irish needed him to do: Runn tough up the middle, gain yards after contact, chew time off the clock and draw the Arizona State defense into the box. Once again, Cam McDaniel's second-half heroics allowed the Irish to burn time off the clock while the game was still close and the Arizona State offense was heating up and needed to be kept off the field. McDaniel finished with a team-high 82 yards on 15 carries, marking another solid performance for the Texas native.
PASS DEFENSE: .. B- .. Yes, Notre Dame allowed 362 passing yards and three passing touchdowns, but the Irish defense still showed better than it had all season. Though it gave up big yards, Notre Dame looked more like the "bend-don't-break" defense of 2012, which also would give up a lot of passing yards but lock down against opposing teams in the red zone. When the Irish offense woke up slowly early in the game, the Notre Dame defense held the Sun Devils' explosive offense to six points for most of the first half. Matthias Farley and Dan Fox's back-to-back interceptions were the first Taylor Kelly had thrown all season. Jaelen Strong finished with eight catches for 136 yards and a touchdown, but the Irish looked improved against pitches and bubble passes.
RUN DEFENSE: .. A .. All week, if it wasn't Taylor Kelly's arm everyone was talking about, it was Marion Grice's potential as a hybrid running back-receiver. Grice had 25 rushing yards on six carries at the half and would only get six more touches for 26 yards the rest of the game. Part of Grice's ineffectiveness came from an Arizona State offensive plan that needed to play catchup, but part of it came from a stifling Irish defense that wouldn't allow anything going on the ground. After not fumbling the ball at all in its first four games, Arizona State dropped the ball twice against the Irish. Dan Fox recovered the second fumble in a momentum-swinging moment in the third quarter. Kelly, advertised as yet another dual-threat quarterback, broke away on a 16-yard scramble but was otherwise kept at bay on the ground.
SPECIAL TEAMS: .. A-.. Barring a missed field goal and a pooched punt in the first half, the Irish special teams put together a solid performance. Kyle Brindza hit from a career-high 53 yards then again from 33 and 25 yards in the fourth quarter. Brindza may be flaky early in the game, but the junior kicker is 11-of-11 in career fourth quarter field goal attempts. Late in the fourth quarter, a Brindza punt pinned Arizona State at its 1-yard line with 90 seconds to make it up field to take the lead or tie (Hint: They didn't.) He continues to be a crucial weapon for Notre Dame when the game is on the line late in the contest. TJ Jones returned a punt for 27 yards, and George Atkinson ran a kickoff return back for 34 yards to give the Irish a few jolts of energy on its return game.
COACHING: .. A .. This matchup had everything going against Notre Dame. On the road, in a strange environment, against an unfamiliar opponent, playing a high-energy offense a week after being torn apart by another high-energy offense and teetering on the edge of .500. And Notre Dame proved almost everyone in the college football world wrong. Brian Kelly & Co.'s staff had this Irish squad ready. All week coaches peached "doing whatever it took," freshman linebacker Jaylon Smith said. To not worry about mistakes and rectify them "the next play, the next day." That might seem like regurgitated coachspeak, but Notre Dame put together its most complete game from all three facets this season. The Irish, who likely lost MLB Jarrett Grace (broken leg) and WR Daniel Smith (ankle fracture) for the season, head into the bye week with a huge momentum swing before facing USC on Oct. 19.

Gun sales across United States have skyrocketed ever since President Obama took office.
Take a look at this according to the FBI twelve million people have -- on.
Background checks in -- to -- a firearm back in 2008 the number was seven point five million.
Why isn't the question stuck to the owner of gun smoke -- Colorado gunshot Bryant.
All right rich why it's back he rich why are people running -- -- they're gone I be concerned about the president be reelected.
Actually good morning guys yeah I think when he got elected the first time.
People were very concerned about whether they be able to get guns in the future and -- victory in more concern now.
Because if Barack Obama was to be reelected which -- that you will be then we'll see the true Barack Obama.
And we'll get to see him make the rest of the country look like Chicago is that just a hunch.
Well no it's not a hunch.
He is actually already ban the importation of 500000.
Am wondering ads which were made here in the United States -- military artifacts and he would let those back in the country so that's pretty yet they got move.
You know -- you say that.
One of the reasons that so many people are buying guns at least you know as verified by the background check number would be that they're afraid of Barack Obama in his first term would take away.
You -- -- amendment rights -- now in this if if he is reelected.
I understand you think -- well he's never gonna after being reelected again and so.
You know Katie bar the door.
Yeah we -- -- if he gets reelected we will see the real Barack Obama he'll be able to do what every watched.
Now he's worried about getting reelected you can see that he didn't do -- -- -- he saves you do closing down gitmo and all the stuff that he talked about.
And so the issue -- guns.
At it for a for a second -- the people and I think he will take proactive steps to try to ban certain types of guns like the clintons did.
Guns are popular for multiple reasons that television shows like -- -- American guns on Discovery Channel.
And the fact that the world is embracing guns again.
-- -- without president's camp is released this statement.
President Obama's record makes clear that he supports and respects the Second Amendment and the tradition of gun ownership in this country and we'll continue to fight back against any attempts to mislead voters are you honestly.
-- voters rich.
You don't want try and not -- but here's the thing this guy came from Chicago Chicago has the worst gun laws in this country and the highest violent crime rate.
Per capita of almost any place that we can go to and it's because of the restrictions put on private citizens so.
I know what he really wants to do and he could tell -- only watch that he's not going to be at that gun.
I've heard this from others in the past and the bottom line is.
He may not outwardly try to take guns away.
In the first term but the second term you're gonna find out exactly what rubble Barack Obama wants to do because he doesn't he get reelected again that's why -- support Mitt Romney -- rich white theater of gun smoke out there in Colorado also you see him on American guns.
On the Discovery Channel where business is booming.
Thank you sir for joining us -- today.
Hey thanks a lot for -- -- appreciate guys.

Lawrence Solomon Has New Conspiracy Theory to Explain Climate Change
Lawrence Solomon, the anti-democratic oaf employed by the National Post to make spurious claims about the falsehoods of climate change, has a new and even more bizarre conspiracy theory about climate change. In the past, I have grown familiar with Solomon and his ilk claiming that climate change isn't real, that socialists are rigging the debate, and even that would-be carbon traders like Al Gore are trying to scam us into making them billions of dollars. But in his latest column Solomon ascends to new heights of paranoia and ridiculousness:
The insurance industry has been behind the global-warming fraud since the 1970s… The insurance industry wants more money to cover its poor stock picks.
The insurance industry is powerful indeed, if it not only managed to get in on the ground floor of the climate change lobby forty years ago (as Solomon claims) but that, still talking forty years ago here, they realized they would be making "poor stock picks" during the 2007-2008 recession and would need an excuse to jack up their rates to restore profitability. And anyways, since when did insurance companies need an excuse to up our rates?
I've been wondering for some time now what would happen when insurance companies decided climate change was a serious enough risk to build into their rate calculations. This has been a turninng point in social movements before — in the provision of running tap water, for instance, which had the helpful side effect of creating a legion of fire hydrants. I guess I was overly optimistic. It turns out they just get slotted into their place in the conspiracy. As with the Conservative paranoia about Liberals, we are witnessing the creation of a profound, grand conspiracy theory which has the dual effects of creating a fount of magic knowledge for misguided followers to rally around, and a ready-made tool for instantly (if spuriously) discrediting any criticism.
I am skeptical that these people can be reasoned with, mostly because most of them did not use reason to come to their current beliefs. But I will try and have some small effect anyways. I am creating the Sixth Estate Climate Change Index. It will track climate change research published in the journals that people like Lawrence Solomon claim are reputable and reliable sources of information when they cherry-pick an occasional study that bucks the consensus. I am doing this because I think it is the best way to clearly disprove the foundational thesis of hacks like Solomon: that scientists themselves don't believe in anthropogenic climate change.
In the meantime, since Solomon apparently feels that the scholarly publications of the American Meteorological Society are a reputable record of scientific knowledge about climate change, I thought I'd share with you just two recent articles from these journals, which (given his apparent habit of loyally perusing the technical literature) we must assume he will be familiar with soon, if not already, and therefore we can look forward to reading about in his exciting and highly educational columns.
Since Solomon's big point is that the American Meteorological Society published an article earlier this year arguing that climate change wasn't causing an increase in natural disasters, here's another AMS-published article, just from this month, showing how it will, specifically, through an increase in North American hurricane damage. How do we as non-experts decide which of these articles is most important? Well, obviously we pick the one that most closely fits our existing preconceptions. That's practically science itself. Right?
Oh, and here's another one, submitted by professors Douglas Hayhoe (education), Shaw Bullock (education), and Katharine Hayhoe (Earth sciences):
We used a 59 item survey to probe the understanding of climate change by 89 Ontario pre-service teachers… Teacher's knowledge was a "kaleidoscope of understanding," rather than a coherent picture. This may be because their understanding of climate change came primarily from unconnected sources in the media.
At least 80% of Ontario teachers, it seems, understand that Earth's climate is cyclical, that natural sea levels change significantly, and that carbon dioxide causes a greenhouse effect. Somewhat disturbingly, however, more than two-thirds of them were unaware that radioactive waste is not a greenhouse gas or that holes in the ozone layer are a separate problem from the greenhouse effect, while somewhat fewer apparently feel that the tropics are warmer because they are closer to the Sun (yikes). They also don't seem to realize how nearly unanimous climate scientists' opinion is on this subject, which is sure to warm the hearts of the many journalists and think tankers who have engaged so tirelessly and selflessly in the task of spreading misinformation and denialist propaganda.

That conventional wisdom is mostly true when it comes to small businesses struggling in an economic recession. Small businesses drive the nation's economy—more than 95 percent of all businesses in the United States have fewer than 500 employees—so when the economy slows down, they take the brunt. Compared with large businesses, they have less of a cushion of capital to compensate for sales losses. Tight credit makes business expansion difficult—expansions that can be the difference between life and death for some small businesses. And economic slowdowns can expose fundamental flaws in the business plans of newly established businesses, driving them out of the market.
But despite all these disadvantages, the number of small businesses as a whole seems to be recessionproof.
[For more, see The 15 Best Small Businesses to Start in 2009.]
The Bureau of Labor Statistics and Census Bureau each month track the number of self-employed people in the workforce. This includes business owners and independent entrepreneurs. The rate of self-employment among nonagricultural workers has barely budged in the face of the recession. In fact, the rate has slightly increased recently. In January, the number stood at about 6.2 percent of all nonfarm workers; in June, the rate of self-employment was up to 6.6 percent, with 9.1 million self-employed people. By way of comparison, in 2006, before the recession, the average self-employment rate for the year was 6.7 percent.
Why hasn't the number of self-employed plunged? Part of the reason is that recessions often have the odd effect of encouraging people to go into entrepreneurship. People laid off from their jobs "often turn to self-employment as a last resort," says Robert Fairlie, a professor of economics at the University of California-Santa Cruz.
[See The 7 Best States To Start a Business.]
Indeed, in the most recent two recessions, more small businesses started up than closed down, according to data from the Small Business Administration. In the recession period from 1990 to 1992, 1,068,124 small businesses closed their doors. But 1,085,737 were created—a net gain of 17,613 businesses. What about the recession in 2001? More businesses shut down than were created in 2001, but that trend was reversed in the following years despite the bad economy. From 2002 to 2003, there was a net gain of 54,498 small businesses. Data on small business "births" and "deaths" is not yet available for the most recent years.
There are more fundamental trends at work, too. It's easier than ever to start an enterprise, says Ridgeley Evers of Tapit Partners, an entrepreneur and venture capitalist who founded the software company Netbooks (now known as WorkingPoint). "As work becomes more intellectual and less physical, you can pull together a 'company' from all across the globe," says Evers.
But there's a flip side. Just as the barriers to entry are lower, the barriers to exit are lower, too. Competition is fierce, and consumer spending for small-business products is the weakest in decades, Evers says.
The chances of exiting can be higher depending on the industry. The financial analysis firm Sageworks collects data on privately held companies across the country. According to Sageworks's data, which comes from thousands of accounting firms, companies in the land subdivision industry—closely related to construction—have suffered the biggest percentage drop in net profits over the past year, at a loss of 45.9 percent. Other industries connected to housing or construction have suffered, too: Lumber wholesalers have lost 19 percent of their profits, and home furnishing stores have lost 17 percent. But industries far removed from the housing bubble also are struggling. Profits in the software company industry declined 23.4 percent—the sixth-highest of all industries. Business support service profits fell by 19.8 percent.
The other major factor forcing small businesses and start-ups out of the market—or preventing them from getting started in the first place—is lack of capital. Sometimes, the demand-reducing effect of the recession can turn what would normally be a well-capitalized business to an undercapitalized one. That's what happened to Andy Lawrence, 27, who had an idea for a business that he thought would change the world of art collecting: applying the concept of fractional ownership to art. Lawrence left his job at a commercial supply company in Los Angeles in April 2008 to start Untitled Partners, which would sell shares of single art pieces to multiple collectors. He and his business partner, Jordan Cooper, had a big advantage over many other first-time entrepreneurs: outside investors. Cooper had connections to venture capital that Untitled Partners was able to tap. Lawrence also benefited from good timing. If he had waited a few months, the funding would have been much more difficult to obtain. "Now, the capital environment is a completely different ball game," he says.
Even with venture capital, Untitled Partners was not able to overcome a more significant problem: The recession was wiping out demand in the art market. Early this year, Lawrence began to fear he couldn't find enough clients. "The target customer no longer existed," he says. Lawrence realized that Untitled Partners wouldn't make money in the next few years, so he and Cooper are returning half of the capital they acquired and shutting down the business. "Given how hard fund-raising is, there was more opportunity to do what I'm good at—leading a team—at an existing operation," Lawrence says.
While this recession presents unique challenges to entrepreneurs like Lawrence, history might suggest that the current economy won't have a large effect on small-business and start-up ownership overall. Starting a business is a big gamble even in good economic times. "Forty percent of businesses don't make it through their first two years," says Evers. "That number has been remarkably constant for a very long period of time. It might go up a little higher now." But judging by the remarkable stability of the number of Americans who work for themselves, for many, that gamble is still worth taking.

3rd Feb, 2012, New Delhi: Hispania Racing team have confirmed Indian driver Narain Karthikeyan for the 2012 Formula 1 season. "Hello tweeps, long time no see! Continuing with HRT for the 2012 season. Should be fun…" tweeted Narain.
In a quite unexpected announcement, HRT have declared Karthikeyan's name as Pedro de la Rosa's partner, for the upcoming season, over Vitaly Petrov and Tonio Liuzzi. It means that this Spanish formula 1 team, this season, will be racing with the oldest drivers with de la Rosa (40) and Karthikeyan (35).
India's first Formula 1 driver Karthikeyan made his debut in this game with Jordan in 2005 and last season he drove with Hispania Racing in nine races including the inaugural Indian Grand Prix.
Narain Karthikeyan told that it has taken a lot of hard work to make this happen but he is utterly elated to feature on the 2012 grid with HRT F1 Team. He was pleased with their strong performance at the Indian Grand Prix, in front of the passionate home fans and he is looking forward to build on this result in 2012 season. He has been training hard since the end of last season, ensuring he was ready for the rigours of F1 if an opportunity comes out. He is delighted to have signed with HRT.
"With the new management, Pedro, and the team, there is definite potential for progress." said Narain.

Rabbinical Eras |

Category Portal WikiProject |
Acharonim[pronunciation?] (Hebrew: אחרונים Aḥaronim; sing. אחרון, Aḥaron; lit. "last ones") is a term used in Jewish law and history, to signify the leading rabbis and poskim (Jewish legal decisors) living from roughly the 16th century to the present, and more specifically since the writing of the Shulkhan Arukh (Hebrew: שׁוּלחָן עָרוּך, "Set Table", a code of Jewish law) in 1563 CE.
The Acharonim follow the Rishonim, the "first ones" - the rabbinic scholars between the 11th and the 16th century following the Geonim and preceding the Shulkhan Arukh. The publication of the Shulkhan Arukh thus marks the transition from the era of Rishonim to that of Acharonim. However, in the highly regarded CODEX JUDAICA (Chronological Index of Jewish History)[1] the author has presented a paper (Appendix D to the volume) that argues (quite convincingly) that there was a distinct major trend of scholars between the Rishonim and the Acharonim. He presents a clearly delineated period between 1492 and 1648, that shows distinctive elements of scholarship (which he provides), and calls it (them, the scholars) Kov'im (Hebrew: קובעים) "the consolidators".
Consequences for Halakhic change[edit]
According to Orthodox Jewish tradition, scholars in one era within the history of halachic development do not challenge the rulings of previous-era scholars, and hence Acharonim cannot dispute the rulings of rabbis of previous eras unless they find support from other rabbis of previous eras.[2]
The question of which prior rulings can and cannot be disputed has led to efforts to define which rulings are within the Acharonim era with precision. According to many rabbis the Shulkhan Arukh is from an Acharon. Some hold that Rabbi Yosef Karo's Beit Yosef has the halakhic status of a work of a Rishon, while his later Shulkhan Arukh has the status of a work of an Acharon.[citation needed] This type of compromise is eliminated by the inclusion of the separate era of scholars, the Kov'im (Hebrew: קובעים) "the consolidators", as mentioned above.

6 Ways To Make Your Latisse Last Longer
Will-Lee on 4 Dec 2013 at 9:00am
No doubt about it: many women love Latisse for the way it lengthens their eyelashes. Eighty five percent of our community has given it a thumbs-up, with some serious raves to boot.
But Latisse will have you shell out more than your average mascara: about $130 for a two-month supply, if used as directed. That means one drop on one applicator brush for each eye for 60 days.
Still, everyone from RealSelfers to our experts to beauty bloggers have been finding creative ways to make their precious drops of Latisse -- and their dollars -- last a little longer. Here's what they're finding:
1. Use only one Latisse drop -- in the cap -- each day.
The directions tell you to apply one drop directly to the brush for each eye. To avoid waste, RealSelf's ever-resourceful Eva has crafted her own method: "I put one drop in the cap, and dip the brush in the cap. This way, I can do both eyelids with one drop and one brush." Eva used Latisse to get lush lashes before her wedding -- and said they were "ridiculously long" after three weeks.
2. Use the Latisse brush for two consecutive days.
Another problem with Latisse -- you get 60 applicator brushes to use, and that's it. New Jersey plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Joseph says he suggests that patients use one brush for two days straight: "It can be rinsed with water in between uses, and left to air dry." This way, you can get a full four months out of your prescription.
3. Use your own brush.
Beauty bloggers Beauty in the Bag -- which seems to absolutely love Latisse -- thinks a "skinny eyeliner brush" is the way to go rather than with the ones that comes with the package. BITB claims this will also lessen irritation and hyperpigmentation.
4. Cut the Latisse brush in half.
Along the same lines, some docs are telling people to give the little brushes that come with Latisse a chop. This way, you'll use less product -- and what you do use will be applied more carefully and efficiently.
5. Apply only as much Latisse as you need.
Even though Allergan says you need one drop per eye per day, the consensus seems to be that a full drop is probably more than enough. Of course, this depends entirely on how long you want your lashes to be, and don't forget that Latisse's effect isn't permanent -- once you stop using Latisse, your lashes will revert to their original length and thickness.
6. Find discount Latisse or Latisse rebates.
Many doctors are offering Latisse at the suggested retail price -- about $120. But there are definitely some out there who are giving pretty sharp discounts -- even some, like Dr. Corey Maas of San Francisco, at cost -- so make sure to shop around for a good price. And several docs have mentioned they're giving discounts in conjunction with other treatments, or are participating in the Latisse rebate program, which can shave $10-$20 off the price.
And one more thing you should know ...
Some of our members have tried Lumigan -- which is the glaucoma drug that, in a lower concentration, inspired Latisse -- as an alternative (and cheaper) way to lengthen their lashes. However, as Houston plastic surgeon Dr. John LoMonaco cautions, Lumigan is not FDA-approved for eyelash treatment, and you (and any doctor that tries) are likely to run into some pretty thick legal issues if you try to get a script for Lumigan, but don't have glaucoma.
Any other tricks to share that have worked well for you? We'd love to hear in the comments below!

§ 57. Mr. Foxasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made in determining the feasibility of road-pricing as a form of motor taxation.
§ Mr. PeytonThe Road Research Laboratory has carried out extensive examination of road-pricing devices. At present the difficulties involved in using them on the roads appear to outweigh the advantages.
§ Mr. FoxI am sure the answer which has been given will delight many people who regard this system as completely unacceptable for reducing traffic congestion in our cities, and see it only as a means of raising further tax from the motorist.
§ Mr. PeytonI would never lose an opportunity to give delight to my hon. Friend.

Many think that injury in electrical accidents occur because of electrocution, OSHA found that the majority are caused by flash over burns, once air ionizes it becomes conductive, the Principle behind Plasma.
ThyssenKrupp Industrial Services Canada Inc. in WIndsor, Ont. carrying on business as ThyssenKrupp Hearn Division, a provider of warehousing, packaging and transportation services was fined $160,000 for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act after a worker was injured. Don Hearn Jr., a supervisor, was fined $11,000 in relation to the same incident.
On Feb. 25, 2009, a worker was doing electrical upgrades at the company's warehouse on Sprucewood Ave. in Windsor. As the worker was removing conductors from an electrical panel, a bare conductor touched the side of the electrical panel, causing an arc flash. The worker sustained serious electrical burns.
A Ministry of Labour investigation found that the electrical panel was not disconnected from the power source, locked out or tagged before the work started.
ThyssenKrupp Industrial Services Canada Inc., carrying on business as ThyssenKrupp Hearn Division, was found guilty of failing to ensure that the electrical panel was disconnected, locked out and tagged prior to work being done on it. Don Hearn Jr. was found guilty of the same.
The fines were imposed by Justice of the Peace Robert Gay. In addition to the fines, the court imposed a 25-per-cent victim fine surcharge, as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

SAW Review
Written by: Poltergeist
This DVD disc of SAW has a round saw on the label.
Kidnapped and instantly a victim, Adam (Leigh Whannell) had just gone to bed. When he awakens, he finds himself submerged into a water-filled bathtub. He gets out and finds another man, Lawerence (Cary Elwes) also in this unclean bathroom. Lawerence is chained to a pipe too. A third man has been killed and is lying on the floor. The men don't remember how they got there. They discover each has an envelope in their pocket with their name on it. Inside the enevelope is a mini-tape labeled "play me", a bullet and a small key.
They manage to get the tape recorder away from the dead man. The message for Adam is, "Are you going to watch yourself die, Adam, or do something about it". Lawerence's message is that he must kill Adam by 6:00am ofr his wife and child will die and he will be left to rot in this bathroom.
This industrial bathroom contains many more clues for the men. The small key does not unlock the chains their foot is trapped in, so they must find a way to survive this thing before 6:00am. They must also find an "X" that marks the spot.
Cast also includes: Tobin Bell, Danny Glover, Ken Leung, Dina Meyer, Benito Martinez, Shawnee Smith and Makenzie Vega.
DVD includes a 2 1/2 minute featurette of the making of SAW. Rated and unrated version of the music video and another featurette of the unrated version of the music video. Trailers and tv spots. Audio Commentary with Writer/Actor Leigh Whannell and Director James Wan.
Note: Producer, Gregg Hoffman died December 4, 2005. Age: 42. He was admitted to the hospital complaining of neck pain. He died of natural causes.
Followed by:
SAW VI will be released October 23, 2009. SAW 7 and SAW 8 are planned.

Recipe by mauigirl
"This recipe is a staple in our Maui home. It disappears so fast, you may want to double it. I have made this with pineapple, papaya, and mango. It is very good with a little bit of finely chopped star fruit added if you have one around. Depending on ripeness of fruit and heat of pepper, I adjust to my personal preference."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups chopped ripe mango
1/4 cup chopped sweet onion (such as Maui)
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
This was so delicious and quite refreshing combination of flavors! We made this salsa while beach camping, went wonderfully on top of our Fast Salmon with a Ginger Glaze from Allrecipes. I did throw in an avocado that needed to be used. A great summertime salsa...thanks Mauigirl...sorry no photo when camping..next time though. :)
I used white pineapple and our patio-grown jalapeños. The peppers were my 4th harvest from last fall's plants, and were REALLY HOT! So I added about 1tbls brown sugar to tame the heat. Served it over Hawaiian Chicken and Lime Cilantro Rice. Perfection! Thanks for another winner, Mauigirl!

Love this salsa. Adding a little fresh pineapple to the mixture really works well. We enjoy this with grilled fish.
Made day before party. It was fabulous. Tried it with a little pineapple added, also...that was great too! Can't wait for more mangoes to ripen so I can make more!
Wow is about all I can say. I made the first bowl, later that day I had to make the second one. The name should be the Incredible Disappearing Mango Salsa. Put the second batch on some grilled pork chops. I'm a fan!
I had some fresh pineapple to use and ran across this by accident when searching for something else. I had some grilled chicken and decided to try this (leaving out the cilantro since I don't like it). It was great! When grilling season rolls around to stay, I will make this often.

In any event neither the 'radio' app. from xawtv or 'gradio', GtK app can
detect transmissions. xawtv can only see noise.
The card works fine on radio on win98 temporarily installed on another
partition on the same drive. Tv only shows noise there also tho' I have not
tried to tweak anything there . Not really interested enough.
If anyone is sucessfully using this card on Debian I would be very grateful
to hear from them.

Laurie Tisch Provides New Yorkers Access to Healthy Foods (VIDEO)
'Where you're born and how you're born shouldn't' determine your access to arts, health care, healthy food
Laurie M. Tisch is the President of the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, a foundation that builds on a longstanding commitment to enable more New Yorkers to take advantage of the rich opportunities that the city has to offer. The Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund was created to support strong leaders and institutions working to increase access and opportunity.
