Disappointed at the Lancome Counter
The Beauty Bug loves to go shopping with Her Grandma, especially when they hit up the makeup counters. Grandma buys her clay mask from Lancome, and her Pure White Linen from Estee Lauder. This past weekend, when Gram's was picking up her mask, The Beauty Bug thought she'd pick up a new Lancome mascara – there's so many now, it's hard to keep track but She was just wanting to try one of the newer ones. Wanting to know her options and about the latest and greatest, The Beauty Bug struck up a conversation with the Lancome representative to ask her if any of the newer mascaras rivaled Difinicils (The Beauty Bug's favorite). The Lancome representative then began reading the descriptions off of the mascara spindle verbatim. The Beauty Bug was shocked and confused – She didn't need the descriptions read to her, She wanted to talk to someone who has used the products and is familiar with them. The Beauty Bug became annoyed and just quickly chose the new Courbe Virtuose Mascara, which promises divine lasting curves all day.
This encounter was quite disappointing – another example why it's better to go to Sephora or shop online. It seems that more and more if it's not the pushy sales women at the counter who just wants a sale, it's the uninformed 'body' who knows nothing about the products. The Beauty Bug expects more from Lancome.
The mascara is sadly nothing special. The curved brush doesn't allow for as much control as a straight brush, and the length or curve is nothing that can't be achieved from Max Factor's Lash Couture Mascara. Even with several coats it doesn't provide dramatic results. Disappointed and put-off with the product and the experience at the counter, The Beauty Bug regrets her purchase.

This is a pic of my grandmother my mom's mother Annie B. Patton Warrior at about 18 years old. She was born in 1900 in San Antonio, TX. Her grandmother was a slave. My great-great grandmother, Martha Patton was interviewed in the 1930s part of the slave narratives. My grandmother eloped with my grandfather, Harry L. Warrior, in 1926. They are one of the first black families in Tucson. They had 7 kids, my mom being the fifth. I was proudly born and raised in SOUTH CENTRAL L.A. In 1958. We were redlined and attended segregated schools until my family moved away in 1970 to San Diego. I was blessed to learn about our history in the 7th grade. I had a black study class. Remember those? I was very radical even in Jr. high. I led walkouts on King and Malcolm X birthday with my parents approval. I also attended Jr. college and a State University where I continued my black studies. I am now 50+ and I still cannot get enough! I am loving your series and I will CONTINUE to teach my children and grand children (when I get them) the real American story. Keep up the good work. It isn't always easy to watch but it gives me strength.

After the birth of baby Olive four months ago, Drew Barrymore dropped from the red carpet and the public eye. Barrymore, in recent interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine, claims to have hidden "like the Unibomber" from the spotlight.
Barrymore has grown up in the public eye, ever since her role in E.T., the Extraterrestrial in 1982 at the age of seven. However, when it comes to baby Olive, the first child of hers with art consultant husband Will Kopelman, Barrymore is showing her protective motherly side. "I had such an exposed childhood…I appreciate my journey, but I don't want that for my kid…As a parent, that isn't the childhood that I'd provide."
Barrymore has spoken, and we hope that she and Kopelman will be successful in providing the normal, media-free childhood for Olive that she wishes for. We saw how Lindsay Lohan turned out from growing up in the public eye, so if Olive matures better than Lohan, then Barrymore will have done a great job! What do you think? Is Barrymore making the right choice for her child? There are heavy pressures for living life under the magnifying glass, but also huge rewards! Let us know in the comments below.

One of the top minivans on the market, the 2017 Kia Sedona boasts a lot of useful features for the money. And with five Sedona trim levels available, buyers have the ability to opt for maximum value or ramp up the luxury and technology as they see fit. There's nothing particularly eye-popping about the Sedona's exterior styling, but it's attractive enough for a full-size people-mover. On the inside, though, its crossover SUV-influenced cabin almost takes the "van" out of minivan.
Already a quiet highway traveler, for 2017 the Sedona gets an acoustically insulated windshield for extra-pleasant road trips. There are also new xenon headlights, an updated infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a new Technology package that includes front-end collision warning with automatic emergency braking.
The Sedona's powerplant is a 3.3-liter V6 that generates 276 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque and drives the front wheels through an electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission. The EPA rates the Sedona at 20 mpg combined (18 city/24 highway).
Although the Sedona is marginally less fuel-efficient than its major competitors, it makes up for it with acceleration that puts it near the top of the minivan segment. Comfortable, smooth and quiet on the road, the Sedona's handling is about average for a large family hauler. Its bulk does tend to make itself known in the corners, and the very light steering provides minimal feedback. But most drivers will likely be pleased with its overall driving characteristics.
Interior comfort and space are the Sedona's calling card. The cockpit layout is attractive and modern with quality materials and controls that are easy to reach and logically arranged, as well as seats that are designed for long trips. The first two rows of occupants will find more than enough room to stretch out, although the third row row is best reserved for the kids. Cargo space with the last row of seats up lags a bit behind the competition, but it will likely be enough for the majority of buyers.
The Sedona can seat seven or eight, depending on the trim level. The base L model comes fairly well equipped with amenities such as alloy wheels, air-conditioning, a rearview camera and Bluetooth connectivity. The LX trim adds more comfort and convenience features, the EX and SX models up the ante for luxury and technology, and the top-of-the-line SXL includes a number of advanced safety features and premium leather upholstery. Whatever your preference, let Edmunds help you find the 2017 Kia Sedona that best meets your needs.

Bruce avoids contempt charges while leaving his partners holding the bag
Despite encouraging signs that Amendments 60 and 61, and Proposition 101— the financial time-bombs conservacranks have launched to wreck Colorado state and local governments — are heading toward defeat, it is way too soon to declare victory.
The stealthy operators who slipped these pernicious proposals through regulatory cracks under a cloak of anonymity will seize any opportunity to regain their lost momentum. Only vigilance against their unscrupulous tactics will ensure a victory for responsible and effective government on Nov. 2.
Some principled citizens who have tax issues use the Constitution as a shield behind which to stand in support of their rights. This is not true of the anonymous backers of 60, 61 and 101. They use the Constitution as a sheet behind which to hide the identities of those who paid to put the issues on the ballot.
Not that we don't know at least the ring leaders of the group behind the anti-tax initiatives. Last June, Administrative Law Judge Robert Spencer found that three of the proponents of the ballot initiatives were working secretly in concert with notorious anti-tax crusader Douglas Bruce.
After months of stonewalling, Bruce finally appeared before Judge Spencer, but refused to reveal the source of funding for the petitions. His repeated refusal to answer summons led Attorney General John Suthers to file contempt of court charges against Bruce. The charges were dismissed by a federal court.
Relying on other evidence, Judge Spencer determined Bruce was the mysterious "Mr. X" who secretly directed his co-conspirators by e-mail. The three proponents of the Bruce proposals admitted they took their instructions from Mr. X, but claimed they neither knew nor cared who provided the money, or who was responsible for the website.
Bruce's trio of accomplices was found guilty of contempt of court charges. Judge Spencer found their claims not to know who paid to print petitions for the signature campaign "evasive and unbelievable." The judge ruled they joined with Bruce in a "concerted effort to thwart" campaign finance reporting requirements.
The judge also ruled that they should have formed an issue committee and reported their contributions and expenditures related to the campaign to pass the initiatives.
Each of the three was fined $2000, but none of the fines have been paid as of last week. Continued lack of compliance with campaign finance rules has swelled their collective fine to $30,000.
Playing for time, the three have appealed the verdict and fine. According to Mark Grueskin, spokesman for business and civic leaders opposed to the ballot issues, "It appears that the whole point of the appeal is for the true backers of the three measures to hide in the shadows and remain anonymous until after the election."
Despite the obvious evasion of campaign financing rules, Judge Spencer's rulings will not affect the initiatives themselves. In spite of the corruption in which they were conceived, the poisoned well from which they sprung, and the deception by which they were promoted, they could become the law of the state.
As important as the outcome of the vote to cut state and local government below their minimum needs is, addressing the lax campaign rules that allow proponents of a constitutional amendment or state regulation to use patently illegal tactics to put a measure on the ballot demands equal attention.
If the Court of Appeals finds no merit in the claim of the three obstructionist sponsors that Judge Spencer violated their constitutional rights, their return to court should be unforgettable. Judge Spencer should use them to send a message to others who would game the system that these tactics will not be tolerated.
At a minimum, the judge should see that each defendant pays a full share of the accumulated outstanding fines, as well as a portion of accrued court costs. Hopefully, the judge will be able to augment that punishment sufficiently to discourage similar tactics by other campaigns in the future.
Meantime, while his foot soldiers are left swinging in the wind, Douglas Bruce emerges from the chaos he has created unscathed. His amendments continue to threaten the future of Colorado.
The strongest repudiation of the unscrupulous political tactics Bruce has used to force his will on the state will be an overwhelming voter rejection of Amendment 60 and 61, and Proposition 101 at the polls.

St. Ives Swiss Vanilla Moisturizing Body Wash Reviews
Vanilla is so sweetThe smell of vanilla makes me feel like a little girl again, it just so sweet. This body wash is great, it's extra moisturizing. — 9 years, 5 months agoTBjunkie | 692 reviews
Absolutely worth the priceThis body wash does not just smell good, but also produces good lather and cleanses without drying out my skin. The scent is quite intensive, but once I rinse away completely, the scent does not remain on skin for a long time. Although I still use body lotion afterwards, but this inexpensive body wash is a great deal! — 8 years, 5 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

Nice ProductThis smells so good! It lathers great, and I felt a little mousterized after taking a shower, but I still had to apply lotion afterward anyways.

If you are worried about cholesterol read this http://chriskresser.com/the-most-imp...out-cholestero
No announcement yet.
What do you do when your family says you are eating too many eggs?
new posts
Don't argue with your family over dietary matters, and never send anyone a link that they didn't ask you for. It's totally lame and pointless. Just ask them to leave you alone.If you are new to the PB - please ignore ALL of this stuff, until you've read the book, or at least http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/ and this (personal fave): http://www.archevore.com/get-started/
Use Al Pacino's line to Kevin Spacey in Glengarry Glen Ross:
"What do you f**cking care?"
Well, if that seems a bit harsh for family, just say, "I don't tell you what to put in your body, so I hope you'll show me the same respect."
I would ask them if they had any more eggs in the house.
tell them eggs are the secret ingredient to a long healthy life.Karin
Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
What am I doing? Depends on the day.
I guess it would depend who bought the eggs . If they bought the eggs, I'd just go volunteer to go buy my own . As for the rest, well it depends on your family's overall health (compared to your own). My parents are both on statins etc. my dad isn't overweight, but is diabetic, while my mum is overweight. I'm the thinnest of the lot (despite being somewhat overweight myself). I'd simply tell them that I'm following a primal diet, and explain that I don't think eating cholesterol from food is a bad thing. They would obviously disagree with me (being as how they're so much more educated than me and I'm just their daughter and stuff ).
Evidently, I think their reliance on statins is stupid and ill -informed, just as much as they'd probably think me eating lots of eggs is stupid and ill-informed. The point is, I'd just argue back if they tried to argue with me and neither one of us would win . If anything, I'm rather contrary and if someone tells me I'm eating too many eggs, I'd just start eating MORE.
Originally posted by difwiz View PostI ran into this today - my first full day of a whole week to be spent with family (and eating with them).
I have almost finished reading the Primal Blueprint, and I get what Mark is saying about how Cholesterol is not the bad guy it has been portrayed as, but how do I defend how I am trying to eat now to people who are stuck on Conventional Wisdom? They are very firm believers in the absoluteness of the calories in - calories out formula - they say nothing else matters, you just need to adhere to the math.
I want to stick with the Primal way of eating while I am here and I want to even improve where I am in implementing the Primal Lifestyle (since I don't have to be at work and I can concentrate more on stuff like this). However, if I am going to be challenged on my eggs and other things that I eat, I am not sure I can stay the course. I haven't been doing this very long, so I don't have a very big arsenal of the nutrition science and the other pieces of information stored in my brain yet. And I know they won't read the book, even if I buy it for them (my book is on my nook, so I can't just pass it on to them).
My family can be very convincing/pushy/argumentative and most times, I just don't want to fight (I don't like arguing in general and really don't like arguing with family). Does anyone have any suggestions about what I can do or say to make them stop harping about "all that fat and cholesterol in all those eggs"?Free your mind, and your Grok will follow!
Eat more eggs.
Wouldn't likely happen in my family. We'd rather talk behind your back than confront you.
As a note, the one time I was ever in the hospital for surgery, I asked my doctor if I could just eat scrambled eggs for all my meals because the menu looked like garbage, and he put it in his orders for me. He was a great doctor, and that elevated him all the more in my eyes."Right is right, even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it." - St. Augustine
Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
Just shrug your shoulders and promise them front row seats at your funeral. They usually don't talk about diet after that. It stopped my brother moaning about my high fat diet!
Or maybe just tell them you hate chickens so much that you are trying to wipe them out!

I used to work in a hospital kitchen... they used eggs that came in big plastic bags that they would then boil, cut open and break up for "scrambled." And that was 30 years ago.Female, age 51, 5' 9"

Empire for Liberty:
How could the United States, a nation founded on the principles of liberty and equality, have produced Abu Ghraib, torture memos, Plamegate, and warrantless wiretaps? Did America set out to become an empire? And if so, how has it reconciled its imperialism--and in some cases, its crimes--with the idea of liberty so forcefully expressed in the Declaration of Independence? Empire for Liberty tells the story of men who used the rhetoric of liberty to further their imperial ambitions, and reveals that the quest for empire has guided the nation's architects from the very beginning--and continues to do so today.
Historian Richard Immerman paints nuanced portraits of six exceptional public figures who manifestly influenced the course of American empire: Benjamin Franklin, John Quincy Adams, William Henry Seward, Henry Cabot Lodge, John Foster Dulles, and Paul Wolfowitz. Each played a pivotal role as empire builder and, with the exception of Adams, did so without occupying the presidency. Taking readers from the founding of the republic to the Global War on Terror, Immerman shows how each individual's influence arose from a keen sensitivity to the concerns of his times; how the trajectory of American empire was relentless if not straight; and how these shrewd and powerful individuals shaped their rhetoric about liberty to suit their needs.
But as Immerman demonstrates in this timely and provocative book, liberty and empire were on a collision course. And in the Global War on Terror and the occupation of Iraq, they violently collided.
"The book makes a very compelling case that imperialism has always been a centerpiece of the American project. Its brisk and readable style makes it useful for courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels."--Paul T. McCartney, Journal of American History
"Empire for Liberty deserves a wide audience of students, scholars, and even general readers. Immerman provides crucial, poorly understood background that helps place recent controversies in a broad context, and he offers fresh analysis of some of America's most colorful and complicated thinkers about America's place in the world."--Mark Atwood Lawrence, History Teacher
"Overall, Immerman has written one of the best descriptions and analyses of 'American empire'--its meaning, evolution, and key figures that have impacted the idea. Empire for Liberty is essential reading for students and enthusiasts of American history and the United States' place in and approach to the world, historically and contemporarily."--Stefan Fergus, Civilian Reader
"In this penetrating, lively account that introduces readers to diplomatic history in a most painless way, Immerman offers case studies of six public figures whose choices affected the ever-increasing power of the U.S."--Choice
"Immerman has produced a masterly if controversial conspectus that leads the reader far beyond the six men featured in the book."--Gill Bennett, RUSI Journal
"Empire for Liberty makes important contributions by demonstrating how U.S. efforts to expand its empire gradually pushed it farther from the East Coast and further from its constituting ideals. . . . Empire for Liberty puts a mirror in front of us, forcing us to accept the complexity of designing a moral foreign policy that still serves a national interest."--Barak Mendelsohn, Political Science Quarterly

* Prices may differ from that shown
I am an avid anti-apple product buyer, and jump at any opportunity to buy something "different." When Microsoft released the Zune, I bought one in minutes, in limited edition pink. At first, I was slightly frustrated with the Zune software, as not all computers are compatible with it and it definitely does not work on macs. But I came to understand it and still prefer it over iTunes. I was also not happy with its size and weight, not really small or comfortable enough for jeans' pockets, but it looks cool and fresh, so that was a good trade-off. Another thing I loved was the background changing feature, allowing me to add a nice wallpaper to the already sleek interface. But although it's flashy, soft to the touch, and fun to use, an Mp3 player with a hard drive has one major drawbacks: it's breakability. I broke the first one simply as it fell out of my car side door, and my second one was broken when standing up from a chair and falling off a table. When I say broken, I mean hard drive failure. The physical features were not easily damaged.
Hard drive failure in a Zune is not a cheap fix. It basically results in needing a new device. Moreover, I've heard of people with Zunes suffering a hard drive crash without dropping or injuring the zune at all. BEWARE! If you're an active person and will bring the Zune with you traveling, running, or anywhere at all, it is easy to break.
That said, the 16GB and 8GB versions have no disk memory, and are much more versatile. I love many things about Zune and am a happy owner of the 8GB machine. Even though the backlight sometimes fails...(it's 5 years old!!) yeah, I still love it.
I recently purchased a Zune, and I love it. The 30 gb memory is plenty for all of my songs and videos. The size and feel of the unit is solid, which lets me feel like it wont break when I'm on the move.
The zune has a very large screen that is easy to read. Everything is controlled with the dial and the button. The menu is very straight forward. You have options to choose from like whether you want to listen to music, view pictures, watch videos, browse the marketplace, or set up your options. It's not very complicated, so in the matter of minutes, you will have the feel of your zune.
Included in the package was a special USB cable to connect to your computer. The zune has a special input port, so you can't just use and standard usb-usb cable.
While this MP3 player is on the heavy side, it is very durable. The plastic casing seems to be thick and sturdy.
My favorite part of the unit is the video display. The videos look crystal clear on the screen, and I'm very impressed.
The battery life is pretty good when you're playing music, but uses a little more power for the videos. I could easily get through the day without needing to recharge, but I'm not sure if I could go two.
Overall, this is an awesome MP3 player. I would suggest it to anyone looking to go mobile with a large amount of songs and videos!
I got my Zune 30GB second hand back in February for about £80 off eBay and i was very happy with it, it was great to be able to store all my music on one device, the Zune 30 is built like a brick and is quite but i like the look of it and feel of the button and i also very much like the fact that it has a ZIP hard drive inside and not flash memory.
The Zune software and firmware
The Zune comes with its own software which you use to sync your music to your player and it's a great peace of software it looks lovely and is nice and simple to use and so is the firmware it's very clear to the user and is laid out very well.
The device has five buttons in a circle up, down left and right and select they work fine but it's not the best navigation system that I've used but it does the job , the screen is good and has a hard plastic over that can take a beating and is overall a very robust mp3 player. But not without its problems, last month the hard drive started to fail and I've since had to replace it costing me £26 and everything worked fine again for a week but now the headphone jack is playing up and does not play sound intro the right ear unless i push down hard on it, it might be due to be when i took it apart but pretty sure it's not so I'm going to try some fixes that people at mentioned online. But when you consider that it's a second hard device and three years old it's not done to badly and I'm not going to give up on it yet and will try to resolve the headphone jack problem. I would recommend holding out until the Zune HD comes out which looks very good indeed.
With Apple dominating the market of MP3 players, it is hard for any other competing device to get a foothold especially in the UK. This is the case with Microsoft's offering to the market, the Zune.
Somewhat of a rival to the Ipod, the Zune has been going steady in the US but has never and probably never will be formally released in the UK. Despite this, many people (including myself) decided to ship one of these in from the states due to their impressive features. Firstly, in comparison to the Ipod, the Zune is a little bulky however, this makes it so much more durable than the flimsy Ipod. Secondly, the screen is much larger than an Ipod meaning video playback looks far better in comparison. Another feature of the video playback is that unlike the iPod, the Zune rotates the video image so that you view it in Landscape not portrait. This both improves the quality of your viewing and does not leave you squinting at the screen like the Ipod often does. Further to this, unlike the Ipod, the Zune has an in-built radio option meaning it is also a portable radio player as well as an MP4/MP3.
The most impressive feature of the Zune is the Zune Marketplace. This is somewhat like iTunes allowing you to purchase tracks and albums however the most notable feature of this is within the Zune device itself. You have a friend who also has a Zune. You have a new track or album you think they might like. Through wireless association built into the Zune, you can send the track to your friend allowing them a certain amount of free listens to the track. Me and my friends often found ourselves doing this with a number of new songs that we found during our time at 6th Form. In terms of the software that comes with it, the Zune far surpasses the iTunes. Okay, so it doesn't have things such as coverflow however it is brighter, less drab and easier to use.
There are however, some drawbacks to the Zune. Firstly, there is no click-wheel like the iPod meaning you have to navigate through menus with a d-pad style control. Furthermore, the range of colours that the Zune is available in is rather drab. Finally, if you plan of switching from an iPod as I did, you will find that any files you have in .aiff format will not play on the Zune as it only play MP3 and WMA.
This is a great little player and is much cheaper than the rip-off Ipod for what you get. I'd seriously recommend getting one instead of an Ipod if you do not yet own an MP3 player.
The Zune 30 GB by Microsoft brings a feel of sophistication and style. In comparison to its leading competitors, it is quite light, only weighing 159 grams, which is good for a hard disk based player.
Unlike the majority of MP3 players, the player can't be used like a flash drive to transfer files, meaning that it is not possible to plug the player into computer A and use it to copy a file to computer B.
In addition to its main purpose of audio playback, the player also supports viewing pictures and watching video clips. The player allows you to share files with other Zunes wirelessly.
When using the supplied headphones, the sound quality was slightly above average, its in-ear headphones makes the bass rich. When the headphone cable is moved it creates a rather loud sound when it is moved against your clothing. Upon using an additional pair of headphones, the sound quality had a minute improvement. The max volume of the player is not restricted, therefore listening to music continuously at full volume will damage your hearing.
When transferring files to the player, you must use a software that needs to be downloaded. The installation itself took quite along time, and no warning message appeared. Other than that, the player is user friendly.
The battery stamina is quite good, on average providing about 14 hours of continuous audio playback.
In addition to the bog standard features, it also boost FM radio capabilities, and the ability to create a favourites list. However, it does not have a repeat all function and equalizer setting.
The player does not support WAV or copy right protected WMA file format. Its file transfer rate is quite fast taking on average 2.1 seconds to transfer 10 megabytes of audio files.
It can only be used with Window Vista and Window XP operating systems.
The Zune is a severely underrated product, particularly in the UK where it has yet to be even be officially released by Microsoft. A rival to the iPod, it has many features previously unseen in MP3 players, such as Wifi which you can use to 'sync' wirelessly with your computer, or indeed with the devices of other Zune owners - if you're lucky enough to find one.
As one would expect in a top-of-the-line media player, its audio and visual features are excellent, both in terms of quality and overall compatibility. Though the software can be frustrating to use (in the sense that it's overly simplified and thus difficult to tweak more advanced settings), its simple to move playlists, songs and movies to the Zune device.
Its unique looks are a strong selling point; rather than go for the aluminum and gloss black of most players on the market it aims for a more trendy and less futuristic look, the first generation models in particular looking very distinctive against similar MP3 devices - whether or not this is a good thing depends on the user. The interface of the Zune is one of its best features; as easy to use as it is attractive, browsing through the player is a joy.
The software (both for the PC and on the Zune itself) is constantly being updated, each version becoming more feature packed and easier to use than the one before it. A word of caution to Mac users, however - though Microsoft state compatibility is coming soon, at the time of writing it is difficult to sync the zune with the OSX software without using unofficial tweaks or software.
Battery life is excellent; after losing it in a desk I was pleased to see it still turned on (with 3/4 power) some weeks later. Out of the box, the only way of charging is through USB, though docking stations which charge through the old plug socket method are available.
In all, the Zune is certainly worthy of consideration when looking for an MP3 player, particularly if you're a Windows user.
Zune 30GB Brown - Purchased from Blue Proton for £114 Dec 07
Box Contents:
USB Cable
Zune Software
Although bulkier then the iPod it was slightly smaller than my Creative Zen so it was a downsize for me! The main feature is the 3" crystal clear colour screen which looks great. There is a "wheel" style navigation underneath and a play/pause button and a back button. You have a lock switching mechanism on the top which is also where the headphone socket is located.
So far, its been a year, I have lost the lock switch twice, whether its my nails or not I don't know but I always ping it off, luckily I have found it, otherwise I would either have it permanently locked or permanently unlocked!
I have no protective cover for my Zune and I have no scratches on it at all, and it's been thrown around in my bag and my pocket for a year so it's VERY hard wearing.
Although bulky, I think it's quite attractive and I would never lose it, I have many friends who have lost their iPod Nanos 
Ease of use:
Uploading tracks: One thing it doesn't have is drag and drop functionality which I miss so much! You have to use the Zune's own software which is good to use but lacks the quickness and ease of drag and drop! Being Microsoft I would have thought you would be able to sync with Windows Media Player, but no.
The software sometimes seems to have issues with syncing the Zune but it's usually a matter of the unplug it, plug it in again!
The software automatically detects new music in locations on your computer you can set (i.e. my music folder) which is very useful, and then it's a matter of dragging and dropping it onto the "Zune Icon"
The Zune itself is very easy to use; the Play/Pause button essentially doubles as an on/off button. The menu display is clean and simple to understand. You choose music/video/pictures/radio/social.
Tracks are categorised in many ways: Song, Artist, Album, and Genre making it simple to choose what you are after. The player generates a Playlist which seems to be a combination of recently played songs and recently added songs. You can create your own playlists but I haven't found a way of doing it on the actual player you have to do it manually through the software.
Videos have been a bit of a nightmare for me, I have had to convert everything and have had to lower the quality A LOT because otherwise it takes forever to upload to the Zune.
For Reference the Zune accepts:
* .wma
* .wmv
* .mp3
* .jpg
* .mp4
* .m4v
* .m4a
* .m4b
* .mov
I have read that the Zune doesn't accept iTunes tracks, I haven't tried myself though.
Zune Social
This is just so people in the UK know that the Zune Social which allows you to share tracks etc with other Zune users around your area is not active in the UK and as far as I know there are no plans as of yet to release it here 
Even with its few floors I really get on well with the Zune, it has a very long battery life (8-10hours) and I find it very easy and intuitive to use. It is very robust and feels very solid.
The Zune accepts a wide berth of music formats and there are many converters available if needed. The uploading software is again very simple to use and has a very comprehensive help section if needed.
It may be worth noting that the Zune does not come with a mains charger only a USB cable. I purchased a compatible charger on eBay which did the job. But it may be worth noting if you are out on the road with no computer and your battery dies you are going to be stuck! (This is from experience)
The zune has done much more than i expected when i first ordered it. At first i found Zune marketplace to not have the selection of similar products. But over time it has grown and i eventually got the zune pass which is a wonderful thing. For only 15$ a month i can listen to about any song i want which i believe is better than paying 99 cents for each and every song. But one of the best features that i just found out about was that you can put games and applications on your zune for free. With a quick google search you will find websites that have these games and instructions of how to put them on your zune. I have such games such as pac-man and texas hold em. But there are some cons to the zune it can get pretty bulky at times just because of its sheer size, but also when playing games or watching videos i have found that the battery just dies way to fast to really enjoy the movie. But overall i would say that the zune has been a favorite purchase of mine and highly recommend it to all my friends and family.
I have owned this products for a few months now and it has been the best mp3 players i have ever used. Its firmware allows easy transitions between songs and videos as well as proiding supurb sound and vision. Also for £120 it was great value. Although i did have to by an imported one due to Mircrosofts shortsightedness when not releasing it worldwide. On top of this a few weeks ago the firmware was updated to give it most of the features of the newer zunes, meaning that i can sync it over my wireless network without connecting it to the computer ,another great feature.
My main concern with the product is the fact that it can not be used as a portable hard drive as most other mp3 players can including its main rival the ipod. It was also an inconveniance having to buy an imported one however this isnt a major problem as many ebay sellers already have stocks imported.
My final note on the product is its durability having dropped it down stairs and into a glass of water(dont ask how) and it still works as it did on day one. All this without a case.
Ok everyone who expects a 3000 words expert review please click on this link http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-players/zune-30gb-black/4505-6490_7-32068976.html
This is the longest, best and most detailed review of the zune 30gb available. I did not copy it cause I thought that this would be wrong and I won't paraphrase it (I would achieve around 2500 words). This might have been the chance to get a crown or win the monthly competition but I hate cheating (myself).
So now I gonna describe the player.
The Zune created by Microsoft and published in 2006 is now a year old and has some brothers the new zunes 4, 8 and 80 (numbers indicate GB - storage). The first zune originally came out in three colours white, black and brown (brown?? yes!! and this colour was the seller number one whether you believe or not) later two more colours joined the group - pink and red. And some special editions such as the halo3 edition.
The zune is compared to other players quite big and chunky. Compared to the 80GB ipod it is not only bigger but also heavier and thicker. And features one of its biggest assets - huge 3" screen. Some people might not be impressed because they don't see the reason for watching video on a diplay of that size. Other love to show off.
More features which the player offers are - well palying music is an obvious one, playing videos, inbuilt FM radio and wireless capabilities. Wireless was the major diferentiation aspect from other players, however I think it was rather useless. The owner could share his music with friends, family or anyone having a zune. Very nice - innovative. BUT the song could be only held for either three days or three plays. Plus not many people owned the zune - so there was noone to share with.
The software for the zunes was horrible - basically a bugged copie of windows media player. I will not spend my time describing it in detail because there is a new fantastic software for the zunes which was released in November 2007 and was design from the scretch.
Offering only a few assessories the zunes were also seen as inferior. The marketplace (like itunes) - as it was new - did not offer that much choice/music (has also improved now, still growing)
And while earning a lot of bad reputation and people thought that Microsoft floped. It still reached the company's objective of reaching (i think it was) a million sales until summer 07.
If you now think: what the hell is a zune I have never heared about it. This might be due to the fact that they are only available in the USA and will shortly enter Canadas Market. The launch in europe is also still unforseen.
Since the launch in 2006 a lot has changed and the new products are really nice and much better than their little brother, who is not really in the shadows because the old player benefits from the new software and firmware updates. Praise Microsoft for giving the old player everything the new one has (almost, hardware and design are still the old ones). Apple never did that - they just forced the customer to buy a new player in order to be able to benefit from new features and the new firmware.
The zunes have now earned plenty of very good reviews since november 07 and were number two on the most sold gadget list during the black friday in america. (black firday is a major discount day, electronics can be bought for really cheap/ number one was nintendo wii).
If dooyoo will add one of the new zunes to their catalogue I will write a further review which will show you the improvement.
Still interested in the 3000 words review because I did not give enough details (irony is sweet), visit the link above. By the way I am neither Zune fan nor Ipod fan.

You've been lucky in your DS, but in most appliances a high coke button coal will be almost impossible to burn because of how tightly it bridges in the firebox. Typically, it's the single biggest negative to some bit coals and makes them unburnable in many appliances. The soot of some bit coals is far less of an issue if the individual doesn't have close neighbors. I would just be hesitant to recommend a high coke button coal to someone without the STRONG caveat that they try a small amount for a few days first to be absolutely sure it will be ok in their appliance.

Think "OUTside" the Garden
With so many things to do in the garden, it's a wonder you can plan for tomorrow, let alone next week or month—but you should try. The payoff will be well worth it. From fastidious pruning for an increase in yield, to prepping for vegetable storage when your harvest comes in, you'll want to be ready for the abundance of joy you're going to reap!
What should you be thinking about when it comes to crafting this marvelous plan? Why, your kids for one! Are they weeding? Digging? Bug dispatching? Wonderful! Reward them with some "down-time" in the garden, as in "no chores." You do want them to come back, don't you?
We've all heard about creating the classic corn husk dolls, but have you considered using those same husks to make mini baskets? Basket weaving is an excellent exercise for little fingers to practice dexterity—beats the DS hands down—as well as producing a keepsake for their bedroom, or a share for school.
Growing berries? Perfect! How about mixing them with a dash of organic sugar and make your own preserves? They make great teacher gifts. Speaking of teachers, how about teaching your children the value of seed saving? When all these vegetables reach maturity, they'll be chock-full of seeds. How about collecting them and storing them in your very own seed packets? (You can find simple how-to templates in the Kid Buzz section here on the website) More

Investment through equity was $383 million while investment through loans totalled $192 during the month, the data showed. The biggest investment was through a $145-million guarantee by Maharashtra Seamless to a subsidiary of Jindal Pipes in Singapore. The subsidiary would engage agricultural and mining operations.
Other key investments were Mahindra & Mahindra's $140-million guarantee to a manufacturing unit in Mauritius, Tata Communications' $132-million guarantee to its overseas subsidiary and Shapoorji Pallonji & Co's $128-million investment in a joint venture in the UAE.
On the basis of region, US led among the most preferred country for investment with around 66 deals followed by Singapore with 66 deals. However, in terms of value, Mauritius saw the maximum financial commitments at $272 million. Both Singapore and Mauritius have been the most preferred destinations for financial investment so far in 2013-14. The biggest equity infusion commitment was of Bharti Airtel in its Mauritius subsidiary of $40 million followed by Tata Motors' $33-million investment in its joint venutre in Thailand.
The investment fell to $5.08 billion in the October-December from $6.48 billion in July-September. In the first nine months of 2013-14, overseas direct investment by Indian companies has totalled to $22.74 billion, similar to $22.62 raised during the corresponding period in 2012-13.

Roundup: Brady arrives at Patriots training camp
Published: July 26th, 2010 | Tags: Aaron Rodgers, Bernie Kosar, Bill Belichick, Dez Bryant, Donald Driver, Drew Bledsoe, Gisele Bundchen, Marcus McNeill, Philip Rivers, Rex Ryan, Robert Kraft, Roy Williams, Sean Lee, Shawne Merriman, Tom Brady, Vincent Jackson
The Tom Brady alarmists have been put to bed.
The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback reported to Patriots training camp with the team's rookies Sunday, according to The Boston Globe.
Brady and the Patriots also have begun discussing a contract extension.
Of course, the Patriots and their owner Robert Kraft could teach a master class on how to retain and reload a team's roster — without clinging to the past.
"The only way you're going to survive in this business is to replenish your team with younger players each year," Kraft told the Boston Herald. "Hopefully, it's not done in a shock atmosphere. I think we have done a good job in accumulating picks. We've lost some great players, and that's the reason we were so good. But nothing goes forever in this business."
Despite Kraft's unsentimental approach — and Bill Belichick's history of veteran quarterback dismissals (read: Drew Bledsoe, Bernie Kosar) — speculation that the Pats would let the husband of Gisele slip out the door anytime soon is the stuff of dreams. Primarily, Rex Ryan's.
In other news from around the league:
- Diva alert: By now, all living creatures have caught wind of Cowboys rookie Dez Bryant's refusal to tote Roy Williams' pads during training camp Sunday. Reaction from around the league has begun to flow in, included Shawne Merriman's sage advice for Williams.
- Offsetting Bryant, Cowboys rookie linebacker Sean Lee remains humble: "I feel like I've looked good on some plays and on other plays I've looked bad," he told The Dallas Morning News. "I'm all over the place. It's frustrating because you want to be perfect but you can't expect to be perfect. The thing you can expect is to get better each day."
- Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is prepared for life without Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill. "Those are two key guys on our offense," Rivers told The San Diego Union-Tribune. "I don't think there's any way you can say we're not better with them. We want to have them. But at the same time, can you still get it done without them? The answer is 'Yes.'"
- NFL Players Association President Kevin Mawae appeared on ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" Monday and made it clear that the owners' push for an 18-game regular season schedule remains a sticking point with NFL players. "It's a little bit more complicated than just saying, 'Let's swap out two games from the preseason and give two games … at the end of the regular season,'" Mawae said. "There's health and safety issues, which is our biggest concern from a player's standpoint, and if you're going to offer up 18 games, then show us something … You want two more games at the back end of the season? What's in it for us?"
- Packers wide receivers coach Jimmy Robinson is anxious to see how 35-year-old Donald Driver responds to offseason arthroscopic surgery on both knees. Robinson is counting on his star, but still stoked about his crop of wideouts. "I am so comfortable with the group. I don't care who's in the game," Robinson told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Just one reason why quarterback Aaron Rodgers sits atop NFL.com's list of fantasy quarterbacks heading into the season.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping for some collective wisdom here. I'm planning on running my second Marathon this October in Toronto. I'm aiming for a 3:30 finish.
I plan on using the Runner's World Smart Coach for a guide. My average weekly distance is 50-60km (30-37 miles).
Five weeks before the Marathon I'll be taking a full week off to go wilderness canoeing/camping.

ASI Survey Says that Corporate Gift Giving for Employees and Clients is the Highest in Four Years
The Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI) released results from its annual corporate gift-giving survey earlier this month showing spending on employees and clients is the highest it's been in four years.
Companies giving gifts told ASI they plan to spend an average of $44.98 for employees and $33.92 for clients and prospects this holiday season, compared to $41.70 and $26.48, respectively, given last year. Data shows buyers are not expecting to give out as many items, but are spending more on the items they do give. Read more.
2014 IMA Shared Booth Opportunities Announced
IMA is pleased to announce the expansion of the shared booth experience. In 2012, IMA conducted an experiment in conjunction with the IMEX America show. IMA created an opportunity for its members to participate in a tradeshow as part of a collaborative IMA Incentive Marketplace. The experiment was very successful, so the IMA Board made a commitment to continue to expand this experience to other niche tradeshow opportunities. The Total Rewards tradeshow sponsored by World at Work was added in 2013. IMA is proud to announce an opportunity for three upcoming tradeshows in 2014: Total Rewards 2014 (May 19 – 21 in Dallas), Safety 2014 (June 8 - 11 in Orlando), and IMEX America 2014 (October 14 – 16 in Las Vegas). Each of the shows has particular niches that will be described in upcoming editions of FastTake. Be on the lookout for each of these great opportunities!
This year, IMA and ten IMA members shared a 10' x 30' booth at IMEX America. Due to the success of the past two years, IMA is investigating expansion options for 2014. This travel-focused show attracts more than 4,000 hosted buyers and attendees, many of whom purchase merchandise and cards for their programs, as well as travel. The estimated cost for each booth partner is typically a fraction of the cost of exhibiting independently. While all exhibitors, including booth partners, must be approved by IMEX America, IMA would like to gage potential interest from our members. If you are interested in this concept and would like more information on the IMA Incentive Marketplace at IMEX America 2014, please send an e-mail to IMA Executive Director Carla DeFlorio at email@example.com by January 3, 2014.
IMA Education Foundation Sponsorship Opportunities
IMA's Education Foundation Partnerships offer you a cost-effective opportunity to position your organization as an industry leader and an industry advocate while you are helping IMA fund industry research, education, and industry awareness initiatives, all designed to increase incentive sales.

I am officially in love with He's Just Not That Into You, and head over heels in love with Alex and Gigi. They are the most amazing pair in the universe. So to cure my long endured writer's block, I decided to write a little poem dedicated to them. Enjoy my friends.
You are my exception.
As Alex kisses me his words echo in my head,
He wraps his arms around me,
Pulling me close, close enough
To feel his heart beating.
His lips feel amazing,
Softly caressing my own as my head spins,
My heart swells and it seems as if
I am soaring high above the world,
And I cling to him,
Like he is the only thing keeping me grounded.
Although there are a million things running through my head,
I feel myself getting lost in this amazing kiss,
Time stands still and there is nothing in this universe
But us.
Nothing except us.
We are the exception.
So, what did you think? Review my lovelies.

|In low income countries, 170 million under-five year-old children are stunted. Prevalence of underweight and wasting are also high. In the past few years, several analyses have documented that at least 35% of all childhood deaths are attributable to underweight; that most of these deaths occur in moderate to severe underweight; that undernutrition (wasting, stunting, underweight) are common between 6 and 24 months of age; that stunting is associated with poor cognition and development, and lower physical capacity and income in adulthood; and that proper nutrient supplementation can mitigate the effects of undernutrition.
Efforts to promote normal infant growth have so far produced modest growth outcomes and infants in low income countries continue to experience growth faltering during this critical period. The relatively new supplementary strategy food products commonly known as the lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) have been successful in treating severe forms of acute malnutrition in the community and are well accepted, suggesting that similar products could be useful for promotion of growth and prevention of undernutrition in infancy. Therefore, the present study tested the effects of LNS as a complementary food on promotion of growth and development of infants and young children, and its effect as a supplementary food on secondary prevention of childhood undernutrition. Firstly, to test the effect of LNS as a supplementary food on secondary prevention of severe acute undernutrition we conducted a supplementary feeding trial in which the infants received either daily doses of 50 g LNS called fortified spread (FS50) or 71g iso-energetic corn-soy blend (CSB) called Likuni Phala (LP). Secondly, to test the effect of provision of LNS as a complementary food supplement for primary prevention of undernutrition and promotion of growth and development we conducted a randomised controlled complementary feeding trial in which the infants in 2 trial groups received LNS daily doses of either 50 g (FS50) or 25 g (FS25) and those in the control group received 71 g (LP) for 12 months.
In the supplementary feeding trial, mean weight-for-age increased by 0.22 (95% CI 0.07 to 0.37) and 0.28 (0.18 to 0.40) Z-score units in the LP and FS groups, respectively. Comparable increase for mean weight-for-height was 0.39 (0.20 to 0.57) and 0.52 (0.38 to 0.65) units. Recovery from underweight and wasting was 20% and 93% in the LP-group and 16% and 75% in the FS-group. Few individuals recovered from stunting and mean length-for-age was not markedly changed.
In the complementary trial the mean weight and length gains in LP, FS50 and FS25 groups were 2.37, 2.47, and 2.37 kg (P = 0.66) and 12.7, 13.5, and 13.2 cm (P = 0.23), respectively. In the same groups, cumulative 12-month incidence of severe stunting was 14.0%, 0.0% and 4.0% (P = 0.01), severe underweight 15.0%, 22.5% and 16.9% (P = 0.71), and severe wasting 1.8%, 1.9% and 1.8% (P > 0.99). There was a significant interaction between baseline length and intervention (P = 0.04); among children with below-median length at enrolment, those given FS50 gained on average 1.9 cm (0.3 to 3.5; P = 0.02) more than individuals receiving LP.
In the supplementary feeding trial, the mean gain in haemoglobin concentration after 12 weeks supplementation was 3.8 g/L in the FS50-group compared to 1.5 g/L in the LP-group. Compared to enrolment measurements in all the 3 trial groups, the mean haemoglobin concentration declined marginally at the end of the intervention. The smallest decline occurred in the LNS groups; At 18-months of age, the mean ± SD mental ages in the LP, FS50 and FS25 groups were 17.9 ± 1.3, 17.9 ± 1.3 and 17.9 ± 1.2 months (P > 0.99), respectively. Length-for-age Z-score (LAZ) gain during the intervention period and maternal education were associated with developmental outcome at age of 18-months (P = 0.03 and P = 0.04; respectively).
The cumulative 36-month incidence of severe stunting was 19.6% in LP, 3.6% in FS50 and 10.3% in FS25 groups (P = 0.03). Mean weight for age Z-score (WAZ) change was -1.09, -0.76 and -1.22 (P = 0.04), mean LAZ change -0.47, -0.37, and -0.71 (P = 0.10), and mean weight for height Z-score WHZ change -1.52, -1.18, and -1.48 (P = 0.27). All differences were more marked among individuals with baseline LAZ below median. Differences in length developed during the intervention, at ages 10-18 months, whereas weight differences continued to increase after the intervention.
In conclusion, short-term supplementation with lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) or corn-soy blends (CSB) improve weight gain similarly but neither of them has short term effect on length. Long-term provision of LNS results in higher length gain, weight gain and prevents incidence of stunting than provision of iso-energetic CSB. Similarly, LNS may promote increased haemoglobin concentration more than CSB. Provision of the multiple micronutrients through fortified LNS and CSB supplements have similar effect on child development.

COMBATIVES, a bimonthly magazine presenting the work of a single author, is a print/online companion to the online journal H_NGM_N.
H_NGM_N itself began as a print magazine, stapled and dittoed in the tradition of Ted Berrigan's "C." However, with its move online, H_NGM_N had grown in scope and, seeking a way to get back to the DIY roots of the project, editor Nate Pritts decided on creating a new magazine that would exist outside the normal expectations and guidelines H_NGM_N had established for itself.
All six issues of the first volume of COMBATIVES were solicited directly by Nate. He sent a note around, admitting the scope of the project – a photocopied, stapled 'zine, made in editions of around 300 in an undisclosed location to be given away for the price of the postage it would cost to mail them. Each person who "ordered" a copy would actually get between 3 to 5 copies of the issue to hand out to friends as they saw fit. Noah Falck contributed the collage covers that became the recognizable trademark of the COMBATIVES brand. The back cover, featuring reproductions from an actual US Army handbook on combatives training, rounded out the design.
Each issue of COMBATIVES sold out completely, some in the first few days of availability. Later, Nate decided to make each issue available online as a pdf, an extension of his desire that each issue of COMBATIVES would be available to anyone who wanted it.
This led directly to Vol. 2 of COMBATIVES being released first & only as pdf downloads. A fortuitous partnering with LUSH Graphics resulted in a fully designed run of 5 issues. Editorial decisions have resulted in a suspension of the COMBATIVES brand.
Clear the way for the prophets of rage.

I am looking for the API errcodes. Online doc says see all codes in appendix A, but doesn't link to it. It should link to the Appendix where it mentions it.
I went to the API reference ( http://quickbase.intuit.com/developer/developer/articles/http-api-language-reference ) but there's nothing on the page except this contact form.
Where is the API errcode appendix and API reference?
