Beauty on a Budget: Nivea Lip Butter
Y u so damn elusive Nivea Lip Butter? Seriously Nivea Lip Butter is as difficult to locate as the Ark of the Covenant.
From reviews I read they sound like a great little budget lip balm.
I imagine the tin packaging won't be terribly appealing to most (myself included) but the formula on these sounds amazing and promise a hydrating, lip soothing, softening formula with a hint of flavor.
Available in the following flavors:
- Caramel Cream Kiss
- Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss
- Raspberry Rose Kiss
- Smooth Kiss
These are $2.99 each and can be found at Ulta and Ulta.com
I know certain drugstores have had them too but sadly I haven't located them anywhere even though I stalk the drugstore like I live there.
Anyone try 'em?
Do share!
4/18/13 19:36 Caroline:
These are EVERYWHERE here. Even my university sells them! They sell for 3.99, so they're a bit more expensive. I personally don't like them, though.
4/18/13 19:39 breyerchic04:
Saw em at Wal-Mart the other night, didn't pick one up because I have so many balms!
4/18/13 19:44 kimkats:
A couple months ago these were scarce as hen's teeth; now even walmart has 'em. Maybe try to scope them out there – CVS always has them, so try to find them there? This is embarassing, but I haven't even tried them yet!!
4/18/13 23:59 k:
They should be at Walgreens! I work at one and ours are now on a permanent display next to the Nivea lotions, and it should be the same for most Walgreens, I think.
4/18/13 19:51 LuckyEmmie:
I have the Smooth Kiss one, and I LOVE it. It is so creamy and rich, not at all greasy. The only downside is that it leaves a white cast on my lips, almost like a lipbalm with SPF would. I just use it before bed, so I can moisturize without anyone seeing my ghost lips!
4/18/13 20:02 moja31:
Have three of these (Raspberry, Vanilla & Macadamia, & Smooth Kiss), love them. If you have to get one, get the Vanilla & Macadamia nut, smells like cookies or like Kinder Surprise chocolate. I think they're on sale at Walgreens for like 1.99 this week, and I know Target has a web coupon for these out right now. I've had one of these in my pocket at all times since I got them.
4/18/13 20:04 Molly D:
I found them at my target! you have to look in the aisle with the lotions/vaseline. they are ok but not my holygrail lip balm
4/18/13 20:22 Stacie:
I have the caramel cream. I joke ye not. It's so awesome that I do not care about the packaging at all. And the pot is so big around that I don't use my finger. I take off the lid and just rub the whole damn thing on my mouth. It's amazing!
4/18/13 20:50 Simone:
I got caramel cream kiss in a giveaway (the company was supposed to send it to me before they were released, but it showed up the day of Lol!). They sent Caramel Cream Kiss, and it's so yummy! Judging by the caramel, and from what I've heard about the others, they all smell exactly like their named, so I'd pick up whichever scent u like best! They all leave a veryyyy slight milky cast (that's my only conplaint) but I do really enjoy this little pot, and will likely try a different scent once I've finished this one… Which will be forever from now since I have such an obnoxious stash of lip balms! Oy vey!
4/18/13 21:10 Amanda:
I found them at CVS–i got the macadamia kiss…honestly i would really stay away from them. not hydrating at all and leaves white milky cast on the lips. it just did nothing to hydrate at all i'll be reviewing it soon!
4/18/13 21:12 The Beauty Alchemist:
LOVE these. Yes tins can be messy etc, but I don't care here. The Macadamia is my fav. Super moisturizing . And Stacie is right, you could just rub it on your mouth
4/19/13 8:42 Teasha:
LOL! I wash my hands like a surgeon before I use balm from a tin.
4/18/13 21:23 Tiffany:
Rite aid and Walgreens have them, check where all the lotion products are
4/18/13 21:27 Paloma:
ommmmmmg these look uber yummy! I've been addicted (yet again) to my Winter Cordials Hot Buttered Rum lately….hmmmmm and those are cheap, too! niiiice…
4/18/13 21:32 Paloma:
well as I told you, I had the entire collection and was obsessed….but all my storage lapsed so I've had to start from scratch…I ordered the hot buttered rum from ebay last week 😛
4/18/13 22:12 Sydni:
These are on sale for 1.99 at Walgreens and Rite Aid this week and there wa a dollar off coupon in Sunday's paper. I ended up picking up 3 of them for $3! I have only had them for a couple days but I like them so far! Hopefully someone else can take advantage of that deal too!
4/18/13 23:37 Libby:
Heeeey 😀
(Finals were horrible but they're over with and I never want to think of them again aaaah, lol. Thanks for asking tho ;D and I'm glad ramen dinner was fun! Speaking of which tho, now I'm craving it haha)
I've tried these and they're alright. I think they might be slightly overhyped. I dislike finger into lipbalm things anyway but I love my Nivea Milk & Honey and gave these a shot. They're not bad, just not amaaaaazing either (imo ofc!) and I found them in CVS at Union Sq and my local Target in Flushing had em! They were by the lotions so perhaps better luck there? Good luck on your mission to find them, Muse!
4/19/13 1:22 blueraccoon:
I can't find these by me either. I'm almost glad; I hate potted lip balms and this way I don't have to torment myself by going "But will I USE it?" when I look at them in the store.
4/19/13 1:59 lily:
I have the raspberry rose kiss one, and I like it but it has SUCH an artificial smell (but still nice) and it goes on kinda white.
4/19/13 3:49 Sydni:
I couldn't put my finger on why they smelled a little weird but that describes it perfectly. Artificial! The smells are alright but don't smell very much how they ate described.
4/19/13 8:40 Teasha:
They all go on white if you apply a normal amount, if you apply a little bit they don't. I have the 3 scented ones, the scents disappear once applied, and they taste like nothing. I don't know why people describe the 'flavors' as yummy. They are petro based, which has it uses. They are similar to all scented vaseline products imo. If someone likes rosebud salve and that kind-of thing, these will be amazing. If not, these probably aren't for you.
4/19/13 2:28 Katie T.:
Ugh, I just hate potted lip balms. I love the Nivea balm formulas but they're nothing special and I prefer the tubes. I can't see why anyone would need 12948324 different types when they're completely sheer, lol.
4/19/13 8:03 Heather:
I agree that tin/pot/tub type packaging for any face/lip cream is not hygienic. Pumps are best hey. Come to think of it though perhaps lipsticks are not either… I did throw out a whole heap recently… and my mascara's were grossing me out too so I got rid of most of them. More excuses to buy new stuff. Although the great thing about the packaging is it's like the old fashioned tinned packaging for their famous nivea creme. It also matches the packaging from the tiny nivea cremes that come from those vending machines. It's super cute packaging. They are like little disks. I won a pack of 3 from a prize recently. I got caramel creme, vanilla/macadamia and unscented. Unscented is absolutely boring but I guess great for someone who wants a creamy lip balm with no scent. I love caramel creme the best. They smell super delicious!!!!!!!!!! They are super creamy too…kinda come off creamy looking on the lips though so you can only use a small amount and rub it in well. We don't have the raspberry one, that looks nice.
4/19/13 8:29 Teasha:
My local rite aids have had them for months. In a weird section, but the same in all RI near me, the skin care isle.
4/19/13 8:37 marie horechuk:
My daughter and I were trying to locate them at Walmart, didn't find them. We live in Canada and are waiting for our new Target to be open,so maybe we'll find them there!!! Geeesshhhh they are hard to find
4/19/13 12:14 Catie:
Hey if you live in Vancouver, I found them at London Drugs on the lip balm/chapstick wall with the other nivea balms, burts bees, etc.(think I paid 3.99 on sale, 4.99 otherwise?). They only have the original and vanilla nut flavors though. I believe Shoppers carry them too
11/15/13 1:25 Cape Breton:
Your Lips are as Sweet as Honey Marie 😉
4/19/13 9:08 Jen:
I absolutely hate these lip butters. I picked them up after alot of youtubers raved about them. They are way too buttery and waxy and leave a weird film on the inside of your lips. I couldn't justify throwing them away so I gave them to my sister. I don't understand the hype, these are awful!!!
4/19/13 9:26 Diana:
I saw them at Target also.
They had two flavors at my Duane Reade this morning. However, I too am oversubscribed in the lip balm department and did not indulge.
4/19/13 10:22 Cj:
Mmm caramel cream kisses… Ugh I need a bf lol.
4/19/13 10:32 Cj:
Oh god all I'm thinking about now is tho whole "hunter & gatherer" thing lol. I has the best wifey, she brings hot guys home for us!
4/19/13 11:00 kiwikiwidragon:
Lol. FF is today at walgreens text 21525 with spring and get the link to the FF discount 15% off, 20% off walgreens brand
4/19/13 11:26 Allie:
They have these all over where I live! I have one in raspberry rise and caramel cream! They are AMAZING
4/19/13 12:10 Shans:
I'm hooked on the Caramel Cream! I hate lip balms that are in tins BUT this is the only expection. I have one in my purse and one by my bed lol I dont have dry crazy lips since its so dry here in LA.
Im very happy with this product!
4/19/13 14:11 Swimsalot:
Hey Kiwi
That code worked
Maybe I'll go over and buy the unscented one. I just love tins. Reminds me of my youth
4/19/13 16:02 Ayushi:
I liked the Raspberry -Rose lip balm.. its texture is very buttery ( true to name) but it kinda stays on your lips for a LONG time.. like seriously.. it is supposed to get absorbed into the lips. But it just stays there.Anyone else had that issue?
But its good for layering lipcolors as it holds onto the color giving a nice stain effect.
6/14/13 15:23 Teasha:
Yes. I have that problem. I'm not a fan of these. The more I use them, the less I like them. I hate the white cast. Anyway, nivea lip butters are full of petro chemicals, a by-product of drilling for oil. Petrolatum, petroleum, whatever name they go by, it is a product that does not sink into skin. It provides a barrier on top of the skin and holds moisture in, like a salve. So, it does not hydrate, if you want something to hydrate and sink into the skin, best look elsewhere…or find a really hydrating balm without petrolatum or mineral oil, add a layer or two of that, wait for it to sink in a bit, and then apply something with petro on top, to hold the moisture from the other balm in.
4/19/13 20:05 Iris:
Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss sounds really good.
4/20/13 0:26 mayrei:
They have these at my Walgreens and CVS, but my CVS is charging 4.99 for them. 😐
I love them. I have the Raspberry one and the Vanilla and Macadamia one, and they're both fantastic balms, imo. Very creamy and softening and they smell great. The only downside is that they do leave you looking like you smeared lard on your lips – the white cast is kind of gross, but it disappears after it warms up on the skin.
4/20/13 15:53 Maggie:
i found mine at target in the lotion section, they have a coupon for it on the website too.
4/20/13 20:39 Citygirl907:
I have caramel cream and it is pretty awesome although I only use it after I've washed my hands super good…..The tin is really the only thing that I don't like about them. Definitely better than baby lips in terms of moisturising power and it smells divine.
Goodluck with your hunt!!!! It took me ages to find them so I feel your pain!
4/20/13 23:42 Kathleen:
"as difficult to locate as the Ark of the Covenant." Lol!
4/25/13 4:57 Kathleen:
You mean Indy DIDN'T find it?
4/21/13 10:37 Meg:
I have Caramel Cream and Raspberry Kiss and they are so nice! They smell amazing and feel awesome on your lips. My Rite Aid has had them for a while now – they're in the lotion aisle near the Nivea though, instead of with the Cosmetics which is weird!
4/21/13 13:23 Robyn:
Been using these for over a month! Got mine
at Target! LOVE them! Favorite is the
Macadamia Kiss!
4/21/13 17:32 Olivia:
I just reviewed these on a post and YouTube video. They're alright, but they don't top the kiss of smoothness, they're not moisturizing enough! The raspberry one smells amazing and the vanilla one kinda smells like smores or frosting!
4/21/13 20:16 Jane:
If it's any consolation – they're impossible to find in Australia too! They're quite nice but I agree with the comments about the white sheen which is annoying and while the smell is mild at best, it doesn't have a taste at all. They'd be more use as a balm to put on thickly before you go to sleep, rather than using them under a liptstick.
4/22/13 23:48 Heather:
They are in priceline stores in Australia.
4/22/13 15:15 Miss D:
I pretty much grab anything with the word "Nivea" printed on it, so I must find one of these!
4/23/13 9:02 Danielle:
I also stalked every store in my area for these! I assumed it was something that wasn't here in Canada and then found ONE at my local drugstore last week. Scooped that up right away.
The Walmart flyer that came to our house last week had them advertised as well, must go check to get the other flavors…love the vanilla macadamia so far
4/26/13 0:20 christmas:
I have raspberry rose kiss, it's okay but nothing great. The formula feels like scented vaseline. lol

e-Skills: Commission launches new campaign; Greek Coalition for Digital Jobs and Skills Publicēts: 06/05/2014, Pēdējā atjaunināšana: 23/06/2015
Michel Barnier, acting Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship, said: "Digital skills are the new literacy: they are essential for employability. I am concerned that the lack of e-skills may be hindering growth in the tech sector and, as a consequence, European innovation and competitiveness. Today's decision to launch the e-Skills for Jobs campaign is an important step to help prepare young people for the jobs of today and tomorrow."
Demand for jobs requiring digital skills is growing rapidly – and likely to create a skills shortage that may leave up to one million positions vacant by 2020 in Europe.
The Commission has identified ICT as one of three employment growth areas and to raise awareness on e-skills the Commission launches the "e-Skills for Jobs" campaign together with the Hellenic Presidency of the EU's Council of Ministers.
A recent study (7 MB) tells us that by 2020, the number of ICT management, architecture and analysis jobs will grow by 44% compared to 2011.
The Greek Government and ICT industry establish the Greek National Coalition for the Digital Economy, similar to the EU's established Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs, aimed at supporting Europe's future entrepreneurs.

Paul Rolly: Teacher saves a life in Delta
Delta High School football coach Russ Henrie was teaching boys' health Tuesday morning when a woman suddenly burst into his classroom and said an elderly gentleman was having a heart attack across the street.
Henrie, who has taught the fundamentals of CPR and first aid in his health classes, told a student to get the defibrillator kept in the school's front office, then ran to the yard across the street where the man had collapsed while trimming his trees.
Henrie performed CPR until the student arrived with the defibrillator, which he used to restart the man's heart. The victim was then rushed to the Delta hospital, where he regained consciousness.
Meanwhile in Delta: The school celebrated its homecoming last week, culminating in the football game Friday night against South Summit.
But the game itself became, at least for a while, an afterthought.
During the traditional homecoming ceremonies at halftime, the crowd in the small western Utah town rose as one and burst into a loud ovation when the names of the homecoming king and queen were announced.
Both winners, elected by their peers, are special-needs students.
Vice Principal Teresa Thompson said the king, Jared Nell, and the queen, Tess Greathouse, won by large margins - among the largest in school history. When they were brought before the student body and much of the town, a witness said there were few dry eyes in the stadium.
Delta, by the way, won the game, 17-0.
Hidden treasurers: A small group of "community organizers" (with apologies to Rudy Giuliani) today celebrate the 100th anniversary of a Salt Lake City service organization whose work shares a heroic quality and odd anonymity with its namesake.
Not many Utahns know of the Andrew S. Rowan Reading Room for the Blind. But then, not many modern-day Americans know about the man, since President Theodore Roosevelt - not Rowan - is most associated with the little-remembered Spanish American War.
But Rowan was immortalized in the essay "A Letter to Garcia" by the turn-of-the-century columnist and magazine publisher Elbert Hubbard, whose story about Rowan's heroics sold millions of copies and was translated into more than 40 languages.
Lt. Rowan was given an assignment by President William McKinley to deliver a letter to "Garcia," a leader of the Cuban insurgents hiding in the jungles of Cuba. The goal was to get the insurgents into an alliance with the Americans against the Spanish occupiers.
Hubbard's point was that Rowan didn't ask how he was to find a rebel hiding in the jungle; he just did it.
That same spirit was magnified in 1908, when Rowan was stationed as a colonel at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City and his wife, Josephine, started a reading room for the blind at the Salt Lake City Library.
It may be the longest-running uninterrupted service project in the city's history. Thousands of visually impaired people have come for readings, to learn Braille and enjoy books in Braille and, later, use Braille-style typewriters.
It also has become a social club for the visually impaired, where they come three days a week for food, entertainment and company. Throughout the century, volunteers have kept the project going.
The celebration will be at the Cottonwood Country Club from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.

Cincinnati Reds' Joey Votto bats against the Washington Nationals in a baseball game, Saturday, April 6, 2013, in Cincinnati.
- Filed Under
Introducing The Indianapolis Star's Fastball Fix. Each weekday, Mark Ambrogi, a life-long Reds fan, will provide links to Indy's four favorite teams - the Reds, Cubs, Cardinals and White Sox - and other hot topics in baseball.
Power outage? Reds fans hope it is over soon. Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto is still homerless this season and didn't have one in 30 games (25 regular season and five postseason) after returing from knee surgeries last season. Votto insists his knee isn't the issue.
While the Cubs and Brewers have both pulled their closers, the Cardinals are staying the course ...

order book
Some very pointed questions were asked of the author concerning his claim
to be called as Elijah
Q: Who is this Elijah?
A: Elijah is an angelic creature that was one with the prophet Elijah. I say that I am 'Elijah' only because God has appointed this angel to anoint me to play the role of His servant to come called Elijah. She is not a warring angel (spiritual-sword) from the Kingdom of God, but a spirit of prophecy. Elijah, Elisha and John the Baptist were all anointed by this spirit.
Q: Why do you refer to this spirit named Elijah as a she?
A: In the spiritual realm, she plays the roll of a spiritual wife (companion) to my soul. That's why I often refer to this angelic creature as a she. She has been with me since I was a child. She is a wonderful angel.
Q: What has the spirit of Elijah come to do? What prophecy to fulfill?
A: "And he shall turn the heart (angel) of the fathers (the Levites) to the children (Israel), and the heart (Holy Spirit called Jerusalem) of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." (Mal. 4:6). And to fulfill this prophecy: "Jesus answered and said to them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things."" (Matt. 17:11). The spirit of Elijah working as one with the Spirit of the Lord has anointed me to help restore the truth of the words given to the prophets and the gospel preached 2000 years ago by Christ. Elijah has come to do the will of God, to ensure that all prophecies are fulfilled, even those given to Malachi and Jesus.
Q: Will man see God when He comes to the earth the next time?
A: Mankind did not see God when He came to the body of Christ (Jesus' flesh and blood body) 2000 years ago. So what makes you think you will see Him when He comes for the great and dreadful day of the Lord (Mal. 4:5), for the day when His feet will stand upon the mount of Olives in Jerusalem (Zech. 14:4). An earthquake, as well as a confession from many of the 144,000 from the house of Israel He promised to elect (they may not all be elected at the same time, but spread out over His thousand year reign - the great tribulation), will be the only sign of His coming our mortal eyes will see. For this will be the day - thousand-year-day - when God restores the Kingdom (Holy Spirit) to Israel.
Q: What happens after this thousand year reign - the great and dreadful day of the Lord?
A: We have the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for the marriage and marriage supper of the Lamb. For the final great struggle between good and evil. Only then will there will be a millennial reign of peace in the earth.
Q: What happens after Jesus' millennial reign of peace?
A: All authority will be given back to the living God for the final great white throne judgment. God promised a new world for those whose names have not been blotted out of the book of Life.
Q: If God -- a Spirit -- is in heaven, and we're here in the earth, then how are we connected to God? What is your connection to God?
A: The Holy Spirit that the living God sends to us as a Messenger from the Father, is our connection. My connections with God the Father, the living God and Jesus is through this holy Messenger of truth called Jerusalem, and also with my heart (angel) named Elijah.
Q: What's so great about this book?
A: I believe that by sharing how the Spirit of God was with me beginning from around the age of eight; how He lifted me up each time I failed; how my life changed when I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior at the age of forty-three; how it was changed again just a few months later when God revealed I had been called as His servant Elijah; how the Spirit of the Lord spent the seven years following this revelation helping me to understand my calling, created a gift from God to restore truth. The book is great only because He who created it -- the living God -- is great.

Maximilian's Pet Shop
With Maximilian's Pet Shop, designers Ella Kilgour (see her Declic shoes) and Katie Higgs intend to change the perception of what a pet shop can be, using trends in society and fashion to design.
The Pet as Trophies series allows you to carry your pet with you, presenting extreme fashion accessories. They are Maximilian's take on the behaviour of stars such as Gerry Halliwell and Paris Hilton, who are regularly spotted pointing their pets at the camera.
The Birdcage Bag possesses theatrical and poetic qualities. The concept of carrying your pet around with you as fashion accessory describes an absurd yet dramatic relationship between a bird and it's owner. The fashion accessory is both a bag and a birdcage individually.
The Taxidermy Kitty Carrier pays the ultimate tribute to your pet whilst you travel together. The tragic but audacious nature of the Kitty Carrier captures the essence of the Maximilian brand.
Inspired by burrowing animals, the Burrower knitwear branch of Maximilian is regal and aristocratic in appearance.
Both the cable-knit jumper and the collars establish a terrain where small rodents are free to burrow through a network of oversized cable-knit tunnels whilst remaining closely on your person.
The Playboy Mansion is a flat-pack hamster cage steeped in history. The aesthetic of the cage is representative of new-romanticism, a movement in which we are very much a part of. The dwelling is designed to appear more like a small architectural study rather than a cage for a hamster. The aesthetic of the living space is inspired by the style and personality of its resident whose tastes are not dissimilar to Playboy founder Hue Hefner.
I've just blogged some more on popgadget.

Brand: LUK
Product Description
LUK makes this clutch kit for use on 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 Volkswagen Jetta cars. The clutch kit is used to replace the parts of the existing clutch. Occasionally, clutch slipping or chatter may not be caused by a faulty clutch. When diagnosing problems with the transmission, use LB180 to determine if this clutch kit will fix the problem. The circular clip needs to be completely seated below the diaphragm spring tabs. Cycling the clutch before starting the vehicle ensures that the circular clip is in the correct position. This clutch kit is recommended for use on Volkswagen Jettas made from 1994 through 1999, but it may not be the correct clutch kit for use on other vehicle makes, models, or years.

Came already assembled and aligned. Do need long triple square allen wrench at any auto parts store for 5$. Still in break-in and so far is very smooth and requires light foot pressure to engage.
The previous owner of my car drove her around like a wanna-be rally racer, and by the time I bought it the clutch was long overdue for replacement. I had this kit shipped directly to my mechanic, so I never saw the components with my own eyes, but 3000 miles later and my car still feels brand new. In wet weather I often get accidental tire spin due to the great functionality of this clutch kit. My mechanic even commented on the ease of install, so whether you are having these parts installed professionally or in your own garage, they will suit your needs greatly; and for a great price too.
And as usual, Partsgeek will get you your parts in about 2 days. Fastest shipping around. Even faster than Amazon Prime.
Unfortunately the clutch kit we purchased although it was a heavy duty kit and a good brand after installation we ran the vehicle and the throwout bearing made a lot of noise so I will be returning the defective part and ordering another of the same.
Great clutch so far. Driving very smooth. Time will tell how well it holds up.
I ordered a clutch kit however the alignment tool was broken in the box along with the packet of grease i will contact customer service.
Name brand parts and very good prices and plenty to choose from. Looked around at other sites but came back here to buy.

How to Be a More Detailed Writer
Being too general can very easily bring even the most exciting article or argument to its knees. Here is how to make sure the worst doesn't happen to you when you try to convey something informative.
1Find a topic that is easy to cover in-depth. Some topics are simply too general to put into a single work ("How to program a computer", for instance). It doesn't hurt to choose a topic you know quite a bit about.Ad
2Cite your sources as you go. It lends credibility to your work and allows the reader to find more information on what you're talking about.
3Organize your thoughts so you can treat each aspect of the topic separately. It's hard to be specific if your ideas don't flow.
4Draft your work several times, searching for examples of generalization, and try to make them more specific. Speeches can profit from this, too.
5It's alright to give your opinion, but base that opinion on details that you have provided, and don't make it absolute. If you're going to give plenty of detail, let it be very well-established detail. Your audience will probably appreciate this more than your "humble opinion".
6Detail has its place in fiction, of course. You can analyze the details of a scene as you see it in your mind, and create the picture vividly for the reader.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Simple points, rather than complex ideas, can make a difference. Detail and elaboration are your allies when it's appropriate to use them.
- It can be easy to include more detail on some topics, so be aware of what those topics are. You may find that detailing the process of sewing by hand is difficult, while its individual methods are much easier.
- You can make your point with pictures, and you might find it much more powerful than writing paragraphs of detail.
- Make things as clear as possible. A thesaurus would be a great tool to use, provided you aren't so wordy as to be misunderstood.
- Avoid "too much" detail. You CAN go overboard, and this will quickly lose someone's attention. To paint a picture, for instance, does not require one to know the entire paint-making process.
- Be conscious of the level of detail. There are some things that your audience may genuinely not want to hear about. Avoid common "taboo topics" such as religion, politics, and sex, unless your audience is looking for detail on these things.
- When speaking, giving detail is not as concrete as it is on paper. Being articulate is not as important as being clear, and yet you can afford to be flexible. Try to find the balance.

Lovin Philly Posted On: 1/19/2011 7:03:54 AMFantastic city. Offers all the diversity of a global city with the small town feel of a regional metro. Due to geography and a parochial legacy the city is organized in compact, relatively well defined neighborhood. Its easy to immerse yourself and in no time become involved in the community. The hurdle is being considered a local. And the only way way to achieve that status is to unapologetically be yourself.

just what may happen. The German philosophy
of "Ordnung muss sein" (there must be order) is fanatically stressed to the
point of absurdity. Such things as motives, justice, and right are forgotten
and all that remains is a pedantic adherence to the letter of the law. While
the Germans are not too outraged by Arab terrorist atrocities, they are
incensed at the fact that a native Berliner should deviate even slightly from
the straight and narrow path, if only for the sake of justice. They feel that
they have paid for all the atrocities with reparation money and that they have
now earned peace of mind. This is the predominant mentality. That a German
should remind them of all they want to forget is to them unthinkable. There is
a conspiracy of silence. The fact that the Israeli Parliament took a step
unprecedented in the history of parliaments anywhere in the world when it
called on a foreign court to release a détenu was completely
ignored by the German press.

Georgia puts on hitting clinic against Georgia Tech
ATLANTA - Georgia has a losing overall record and is mired near the bottom of the SEC standings, but the Bulldogs now have recorded two victories against Top 25 teams in the last three days.
UGA won the first game of a three-game set against No. 2 Vanderbilt on Saturday and on Tuesday dismantled No. 19 Georgia Tech at Turner Field, 17-0.
Georgia improves to
16-25 while the Yellow Jackets slip to 28-13.
Curt Powell was 4-for-5 with 2 RBIs for the Dawgs, who had 23 hits.
Bryan Benzor (3-2) was the winner, yielding two hits and no runs in three innings on the hill.
Jonathan King allowed four runs on seven hits in two innings to get the loss.
The Diamond Dogs scored two runs in the second inning and five in the third to put the game out of reach, but added 10 more for good measure.
Justin Bryan drove in a run with a single in the second and a sacrifice fly by Nelson Ward brought in another to make it 2-0.
In the third inning, Zack Bowers singled in a run to make it 3-0, Bryan hit safely to drive in two more runs, and Ward and Powell had RBIs to put Georgia safely ahead 7-0.
The winners pushed four more across in the top of the sixth.
Hunter Cole ripped a one-out single, sending Ward home and increasing the tally to 8-0, then Jared Walsh singled and Powell crossed the dish on an error.
Next up, Bowers singled to center to drive in another run, making it 10-0, and a Daniel Nichols sacrifice to center scored Walsh to put Tech in an 11-0 hole.
The seventh inning gave Georgia more batting practice.
Cole had an RBI double, Kyle Farmer scored on a Jess Posey groundout, Nichols singled in a run, Sean McLaughlin did likewise and Bryan hit safely for another RBI, capping off a five-run inning and inflating the cushion to 16-0.
Powell's last RBI in the ninth to put the finishing touches on the 17-0 rout.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.-The No. 24 Western Kentucky University volleyball team (16-3, 2-0 SBC) extended its win streak to eight matches after taking a 3-0 win (25-22, 25-16, 25-12) against South Alabama (8-8, 1-1 SBC) Saturday afternoon at E.A. Diddle Arena.
"We are glad to get the win in three," WKU head coach Travis Hudson said. "I wasn't really pleased with how we played game one. I thought we were flat, and we have got to guard against that. What I am trying to get our team to do is compete against us. There is going to be some situations in conference play when we are going to have advantages and leads but we have to compete against us and push ourselves to be better than we can. Game one, I don't think we necessarily did a good job with that."
Sophomore Heather Boyan pushed WKU to 52 total kills and a .390 hitting percentage in the contest after posting a career-high 16 and hitting .609 in the match.
"I talk about us everyday coming out and being prepared as a team, and Heather is a kid that you absolutely know is going to be ready to play everyday," Hudson said. "She absolutely loves to play and practice. She loves to get better. She is every coach's dream in terms of preparation."
Freshman Noelle Langenkamp collected eight kills to hit .467 followed by fellow classmate Haley Bodway's seven kills. Junior Melanie Stutsman dished out 37 assists while adding six kills while junior Ashley Potts and senior Jordyn Skinner had 12 and 10 digs, respectively.
For the Jaguars, Olivia Mohler had a team-high eight kills followed by Lindsay Schwartz, Melissa Waelter and Savannah Stewart with seven each. Emily Hundt posted 25 assists while Stewart put up 10 digs.
After back-to-back kills from Boyan and Stutsman opened the match, WKU would get a lead as much as three before South Alabama worked its way to a tie at 6. The Jaguars would take the lead at 8-7 but an ace from senior Sarah Rogers and kill by Stutsman helped tie the game at 10. WKU took control from there and would not give it up despite a knotted game at 16. The Lady Toppers would lead as much as four after a South Alabama timeout at 19-16 to go on and win 25-22.
Behind Boyan's six kills in the second frame, WKU would take a 25-16 set win to lead 2-0 at the break. Ahead 10-4 at a Jaguar break, WKU would outscore South Alabama 11-8 to force another South Alabama break. During that span, Boyan had three kills, Skinner and Bodway had one kill each, and Stutsman put up an ace to get WKU out 21-12. Bodway and Boyan would get one more kill each before WKU closed the set at 25-16.
The Lady Toppers held South Alabama to a .114 hitting percentage in the third set with eight kills behind 22 digs, including seven apiece from Potts and Stutsman. WKU pushed ahead 6-1 in the final set after opening with three kills in a row by Boyan, Skinner and Langenkamp. The Lady Toppers put together a string of six-straight points to notch a 14-4 advantage before grabbing five of the last six points thanks to two freshman Rachel Engle kills to seal the win 25-12.
Sun Belt Conference play continues for WKU on Friday, September 28 at Louisiana-Lafayette to start a four-game road swing. The match against the Ragin' Cajuns begins at 7 p.m.

Blazing speed. Amazing sound.
In today's world, speed is everything. The blazingly fast Zoom TAC-2 interface uses the latest Thunderbolt™ technology for ultra-low latency and the ultimate in high-quality audio, up to 24-bit/192kHz. Lightweight and portable, the TAC-2 is also easy to use, with a single large rotary knob controlling all parameters.
Thunderbolt: The ultimate in high-speed connectivity
More than twice as fast as USB 3.0—not to mention twenty times faster than USB 2.0 and twelve times faster than Firewire 800—Thunderbolt is the interconnection technology of the future. Co-developed by Apple and Intel Labs, it allows signal to be transferred at an incredibly fast 10 gigabits per second, which means virtually no latency.* Thunderbolt interfaces such as the TAC-2 are also unaffected by computer jitter (slight variations in timing), so there's no need to connect an external master clock source.
In addition, Thunderbolt carries 10 watts/18 volts of power (as compared to the 2.5 watts/ 5 volts carried by USB 2.0)—enough to provide stable phantom power. This also allows the use of high-end components such as the Burr Brown PCM4202 analog-to-digital converter and AKM AK4396 digital-to-analog converter in the TAC-2.
The TAC-2 performs 4-times upsampling during both analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion. In other words, when the sampling frequency is set to 44.1kHz or 48kHz, the TAC-2 processes the signal at high resolution 176.4kHz or 192kHz. For A/D conversion, this means less aliasing noise; for D/A conversion, this means increased clarity and fidelity.

Flipped Classroom ELI Webinar Sept 27 10 a.m. - 11 a.m.
Thanks to the availability of web-based lectures and information sources, the "flipped classroom" model is becoming increasingly popular. Students watch lectures at home at their own pace, leaving classroom time for learning activities. A lot of effort has gone into the out-of-class component, leaving the harder part―the in-class component―to the instructor. Speaker: Eric Mazur, Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics and Dean of Applied Physics, Harvard University

Blended Learning: The 21st-Century Learning Environment (an EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative Webinar @ The e-Learning Center Conference Room, Gammage 305)
ELI Blended Learning Strategies Webinar, e-Learning Conference Room (Gammage Building, Room 305)
September 15, 2010, 9:00 am - 2:30 pm
September 16, 2010, 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
You may attend all or part of the event at either location. Register for the E-Learning Center Conference Room webinar session.
Description: The goal of this focus session is to revisit the potential of blended learning instructional models, student learning outcomes, and successful implementation practices. The maturing of online learning practices and engagements has opened new possibilities for curriculum design, including both face-to-face and online learning opportunities. The ability to design a course that uniquely blends face-to-face and distributed interaction allows institutions to address learners' specific needs and customize the learning environment rather than rely on a "one size fits all" approach. But these options lead to a variety of questions:
- What's the right mix of face-to-face and online?
- How do you decide when to employ an online activity or interaction?
- How can you best map the mix of blended elements to student needs and requirements?
- How can these elements be orchestrated to meet a course's learning objectives?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of various online techniques and methods?
Join us September 15 and 16 for "Blended Learning: The 21st-Century Learning Environment," the 2010 ELI Online Fall Focus Session. Hosted inside an Adobe Connect learning environment, this virtual event will be much more than your typical online seminar. You'll exchange ideas and collaborate interactively with the ELI community—all without leaving your campus. You'll also receive all the resources and guided activities you need to help frame discussions and organize team events locally in your department, college, or institution.
During this two-day online event we will
- Revisit the status of blended learning today—what we've learned and how this instructional approach continues to evolve to support learning across many disciplines
- Create a framework for the successful design and deployment of faculty development for blended learning
- Explore successful implementations of blended learning across different types of institutions
- Reflect on the potential for blended learning to promote critical thinking, student engagement, and success
- Consider assessment strategies for blended learning, both at the course and program levels
- Identify the role learning technologies—synchronous and asynchronous—can play in blended learning
- Engage in dialogue with a community of professionals focused on how to design and deploy blended learning across the curriculum

When Harry met Lucy
Well folks seeing its Valentines Day today, we thought we'd bring you a special post today, allowing us all to reminisce when Harry met Lucy.
Many of yourselves may be wondering what the connection is between Harry and Lucy?
Well some of yourselves may have come across a nasty little blog called Harrys Place (HurryUpHarry). Readers of the notoriously Pro Zionist website/blog will not be surprised at the regular postings by (largely anonymous) individuals looking to tarnish the reputations of Muslims and pro-Palestinian non-Muslims who are actively engaged in politics, media and society. It quickly becomes clear reading through the prolific posts on the blog that for HP the only 'moderate' Muslim and non-Muslim is one who is in favour of Neo-Conservatism & Zionism.
From thence Harry's Place takes its cue in undermining, marginalising and maligning those individuals, particularly British Muslims, who voiced their objections to the Iraq war and its consequences in the form of increased "radicalisation" of Muslim youth in the UK.
The identity of 'Harry' of the eponymous blog has itself been the subject of some speculation. However it's been said that it's named after David T's son, whom David wanted to grow up very quickly.
While shielding their identities behind anonymity, and in the case of 'David T', wilfully misleading others as to their actual names, bloggers on Harry's Place engage in the most base slander against individuals whose names and other details they shamelessly—and with no pretence to hypocrisy—brandish on their website.
'David T' is actually David S Toube. His true identity was uncovered by Richard Seymour, who runs the Lenin's Tomb blog, despite Toube's attempt to deter others from discovering his real name. His earlier attempt to evade his identity being disclosed was revealed in a Guardian article:
'David T and "Harry", of Harry's Place, insist on preserving their anonymity because they do not want to aggravate their employers.'
And yet the aggravation caused to those that they blog about is – of course – of no significance.
Toube previously joined the Guardian's Comment is Free section falsely giving his surname as 'Tate'. It is only through the uncovering of his identity by those that have often been at the receiving end of his venomous propaganda that we all know the true identity of 'David T'.
It would seem hypocritical to any that a man such as Toube, who goes out of his way to unearth details about those whom he targets should then go to such enormous lengths to cowardly lie about his own identity. But then, such underhandedness is a reflection of the depths to which David Toube and his fellow bloggers will sink to malign others.
Collectively, the crimes of Muslim individuals, organisations and events targeted by HP are that they are not considered moderate enough. In fact, their actual crime is to be what Harry's Place calls 'Islamists'.
And throwing pejorative labels at Muslims is a huge fixation on Harry's Place. Blurring distinctions and misrepresenting individuals as teetering on the brink of an extremism that justifies violence, the infamous 'conveyor belt' theory that leaves no tenable position for a Muslim on the political spectrum lest s/he becomes a violent extremist, is a regular tool used on Harry's Place to subvert the conscientious objections Muslims assert over aspects of Government policy.
The term 'Islamist' is applied to any Muslim who doesn't subscribe to a worldview that places religion firmly in the private sphere. More specifically, it is applied with vehemence to those Muslims whose views on politics are informed and shaped by Islam.
In labelling such individuals 'Islamists', those like David Toube, who use Harry's Place as a springboard from which to promote insidious comment and engage in character assassination, attempt to render derogatory any semblance of a Muslim political identity that is not acquiescent or submissive to the prevailing paradigm. That prevailing paradigm is the championing of 'ex Islamists' or individuals who embrace an apolitical form of Islamic identity. Precisely because such an identity could pose no threat to the Zionist centred politics of Harry's Place itself.
It seems to be the contention of HP that only those Muslims who deny that Islam should have any influence on political ideas and political behaviour are to be trusted as 'moderates'. Here comes in Lucy Lips….word on the street for awhile is that Rashad Zaman Ali blogs under the name of Lucy Lips. Rashad Ali is originally from Sheffield and was part of Hizbut Tahrir, it's been said was labelled its Learned Sage, Post HT he alongside Ed Hussain & Majid Nawaz set up the much maligned Quilliam Foundation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quilliam_(think_tank)
Rashad Ali (allegedly writes on HP under the pseudonym of Lucy Lips) left very early and joined Harris Rafiq the former head of the defunct Sufi Muslim Council to form another Anti extremism Think Tank called Centri.
Even though on Centri's website they don't state who funds, runs or is employed by them. http://www.centri.org.uk/CENTRI/Home.html
What is interesting that according to info openly available, his so called credentials as being a student of knowledge and so "pious" come under question. He has alleged to plagiarised of another author. A search on sunniforum.com reveals that Ali had posted on there. In one post, Ali posts a large chunk of an article that he says was part of his "masters in Islamic law". The reader, obviously a former personal acquaintance, contests that Ali has never completed a masters and alleges that the article was in fact written by HT member Kamal Abu Zahra.
Furthermore that there are questions about identity fraud, dealing in stolen cars, his views on lesbianism, his views on wife beating and outstanding debts. Which may have led him to being kicked out of HT. http://theislamist.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/who-is-rashad-zaman-ali/
It has been alleged that Rashad Ali moonlights as Lucy Lips and writes/posts regularly for Harrys Place attacking Islamic scholars, speakers, mosques, organisations and Isocs. This was exposed in the comments section of one of his posts in February 2012.
Furthermore he has in 2013 attended and supported the UJS (Union of Jewish Students) a Zionist organisation set up to promote Israel and support Zionist students at Uni.
His latest bit of work was with the HJS (Henry Jackson Society) on putting together a spurious document attacking Jihadism etc. The HJS merged with The Centre of Social Cohesion, About a year ago the CSC merged with The Henry Jackson Society, the HJS are huge on there board are the likes of William Kristol and Richard Pearle, they are "the" "Neo Cons & Zionists" that served in President Bush administration and were architects of the Invasion of Iraq and were close to Ariel Sharon. The HJS weren't pro Zionist org, but how they become one can followed by reading here: http://greatersurbiton.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/alan-mendozas-putsch-in-the-henry-jackson-society/
Rumour has it his work is set to come crashing down around him, that Shaikh Abdul Haq Bewley who wrote an Endorsement wasn't told about HJS, who they are and what they do or anything about Rashad Ali when devious closet cyber tranny aka Lucy Lips approached them about the endorsement, they were lied to and had no idea that the statement they gave would be then be doctored to turn it into an endorsement for the spuriously flawed guide by HJS.
It is also being said that currently the so called former learned sage of HT is now studying under a rather young well known and trendy "scholar" in Birmingham.
Maybe Lucy wants some fashion advice before his date tonight with Harry/David Toube!

this binding is the fonz

About Me Expert
Comments about Union Contact Pro Snowboard Bindings 2015:
When installing the binding, start by fully screwing in one bolt without the washer. This makes it easier to screw in the rest of the bolts with the washers on. Then, go back to washerless bolt, unscrew it, put washer on bolt, screw it in and, BANG! You have one union binding setup. Now preform same instructions on other binding and you're good to go.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Really good bindings
By TheShredder22
from Portland
About Me Intermediate
Really good bindings I recommend them!! Only thing that's bad is the screws don't fit on my board. I ride a Rossignol jibsaw
Bottom Line
The best bindings
By Alternativee30
from Portland OR
This is the first Union binding i have used. Overall i love this binding. The Toe/Front strap works very well to keep your boot down and back in the binding. The footprint of the screws to the board is very minimal.I love the ratchets on this binding as they feel very strong and you dont have to leverage on them very hard to get a snug fit down onto your board. The only problem i had was i could have sized down one size and fit with my boots better but doesnt affect my review of the product.
Tough As Nails
By Powderhound
from Fort Collins, Colorado
These are the only binding I will be buying from now on. They are very durable, I beat my gear to a pulp but these have held up better than any other pair of bindings I've had yet. A little feature that most people wont really notice at first is that the straps have a twist knob for the adjuster instead of a screw, meaning you can adjust your straps without any tools at all, while wearing gloves.I highly recommend these to any rider that needs a binding to do it all.
favorite bindings of all time

Secure and extremely lightweight binding
By Andy
from Boulder Colorado
These bindings are great the main straps have memory foam that really make them secure on any boot, the bindings are extremely lightweight and way better looking than the Union forces. The tool free adjust is great especially since they are new and adjustments will need to be made after/during your first couple of rides. The baseplates cushionig is lightweight and definitely helps when making some harsh landings. Union has made a great product as I was previously coming from some burton customs and the unions are light years better. And Evo supplies this product quickly and with their great customer service. Cheers !

Boat with invasive mussels stopped at Lake Powell
Web Producer: Marissa Pasquet
PAGE, Ariz. (AP) - A boat carrying invasive mussels that threaten ecosystems and water and power systems has been intercepted before being launched on Lake Powell.
The National Park Service says the boat had been hauled from Lake Mead on the Arizona-Nevada border, where zebra and quagga mussels are well established. Adult mussels were discovered at Lake Powell's Bullfrog Marina inspection station on Wednesday.
The mussels are not yet established at the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area on the Arizona-Utah border, where mandatory boat inspections are required. Decontaminations are free, but boats found with mussels are quarantined for a month. Sixteen contaminated boats were discovered last year.
The mussels look like small clams and multiply quickly. They can clog pipes and water intakes, and deplete food sources used by fish and other aquatic creatures.

The number of 4G LTE handsets is set to explode in the coming year, with growth of more than 43 percent from 2014. Meanwhile, according to a new report, telecommunications networks in 14 countries are now commercially operating high-speed LTE-Advanced.
The era of double-digit growth in smart phone adoption is coming to a close as devices approach the saturation point, which in turn will lead to drops in prices, according to new research. In North America alone, some 200 million smart phones are already in active use — one for about every 2.75 people residing on the continent and about one-seventh of the world's total active devices.
Smart phones running on Google's Android OS will approach 1 billion units by the end of this year, according to a new forecast from market research firm Gartner.
Google's Android operating system is on more than three-quarters of all smart phones that shipped in 2013, with Apple's iOS making up most of the remainder. However, Windows smart phones are beginning to see substantial growth, with 2013 shipments in the tens of millions.
In 2013, for the first time ever, the number of smart phones shipped worldwide in a year topped 1 billion. That's about one smart phone for every seven human beings alive.
Community colleges have always served their communities beyond traditional academic programs and course offerings. Here, a CIO talks about his opportunities to influence the future of broadband access in his region.
There's good reason to step back--even when things are ticking along smoothly--and examine where we really stand in the world of broadband technologies. As comfortable as we might be when things seem to be working, there are visionary leaders who are reminding us that we could do better.
Smart phones are expected to overtake feature phones in worldwide shipments for the first time this year. According to a new forecast, year-over-year growth in smart phones will approach 33 percent in 2013 and continue strong for the next five years.
Citing a need for improved telecommunications capabilities, reliability, and cost efficiency, Iowa State University has joined Internet2's NET+ SIP program and will migrate 8,000 phones to the cloud beginning next month.
Spurred by the BYOD trend, campuses are dealing with the need for enhanced mobile coverage--from basement classrooms to new construction. Three schools share their experiences establishing DAS networks.
