Once you try Asian sunscreens, things like this just pale in comparison.
-Smells amazing
-Gorgeous packaging
-Effective protection
-Dries without a heavy tacky feeling
-Could be good for dry skin. I have normal/dehydrated
-Smells amazing. Why? A lot of fragrances are harmful for skin and can undo a lot of what good skincare tries to accomplish. The fragrance is also strong and can irritate sensitive skins and noses.
-Takes forever to set (over 20 minutes for me)
-Very obvious white cast that looks especially terrible on my olive NC20-25 skin. Def not the best for women of color except the lightest of Asian skin.
-Super expensive for a subpar experience. I want my luxury skincare to have good texture, more ease, and effectiveness. To me, this is just a dressed up Neutrogena facial sunscreen.

I have sensitive skin, so I'm careful about the products I buy. I love how this sunscreen is so light and feels like you have nothing on. I haven't had any sort of breakouts and am glad to say a little goes a long way!

i was using japanese sunscreen which has the same texture as this...a light weight milky liquid that is not sticky or greasy but the japanese sunscreen (sofina) clogged my pores so i decided to try this one. i really do like it alot...it's the same as sofina but doesn't clog my pores...i was debating on this or the diorsnow spf...i might try the diorsnow in the winter season because it seems more creamier...as for the price...it was around $50US for 1 oz. so i only use it on my face and use cheaper stuff for my body

Everything about this sunscreen is exceptional except the price.
Having used Clarin's UV 40 for about a year before this, Essentiel suits my skin much better. Both sunscreens have about the same consistancy, Essentiel might be a bit thinner. This does not leave a white cast on my face, seems like a great primer for my makeup and does not break me out. What is not to like? :) The bottle is so cute and has not leaked for me. Like the Clarins SS, you have to shake the bottle prior to squeezing the product out. I think I had a bit of an allergic reaction to Clarins because my skin would always be kind of red after application. Chanel's does not. If you feel like splurging, I highly recommend trying this out!

I had been using the Shiseido SPF 55 Cream, but after months and months of use, I finally realized that it had been the culprit of my breakouts. The Shiseido SS is, as we all know on the MUA boards, super-duper difficult to remove. Even with the oil cleansing method at the end of the day, I'm convinced the some of the SS was still stuck in my pores. Well good news, people! The Chanel SS is not difficult to remove AT ALL! In fact, no more clogged pores, no more cystic breakouts since using this SS!
Like the Shiseido, the Chanel SS also doubles as a mattifier, allowing me to stay pretty much oil-free all day. The Chanel additionally has a much higher percentage of zinc oxide at 19% than the Shiseido, but it surprisingly does not cast a horrid white mask over my face (just remember to rub it in quickly). I find the fragrance of Chanel to be much more pleasant, too; in fact, I love putting on because of the very light floral, almost comforting scent (and trust me, I am usually not a fan of florals). The packaging of the Chanel also blows Shiseido out of the water--very simple, modern, and chic.
Remember to shake before use, and I personally use about a pea sized amount at a time, so that I am able to rub it in quickly. Also note that it's a liquid (not at all like the SS cream, but I've heard similar to the SS lotion).
Okay, now the downside. It's $48 before tax for 1 fl oz! I think that's about 2-3x more expensive than the SS, depending on the formula (cream/lotion). But despite the heart-wrenching price, I will be repurchasing. HG HG HG!!!

I may try another skin defender with SPF, but I really like this one. I often wear it alone with Chanel's Hydra-Treatment Lip Care SPF 15. I feel protected from pollution and the sun when I wear the UV Essentiel. I wouldn't say that it's scented, but the smell is surprisingly pleasant. A little goes a long way and feels so light on the skin.

I just bought this yesterday. It s brand new here in the states and the Chanel lady had to take it out of the glass display case and box it for me it was the last one! I was at first a little confused as to what this was. I use the Hydramax + Active Moisture Gel Cream which has no SPF so I was worried about not having a sunscreen. I ask the lady what this was and she said that it was a protective bariier for the skin. She said it is beneficial because of course the SPF 30 and it has a bunch of plant extracts that have anti pollution qualities. I just used it this morning and it seems to be alright. This is to be done as the last step of your skincare routine over everything else. It doesn;t really feel oil at all. Of course it's too soon to tell about break-outs, but I highly doubt this wil cause anything. I have read nothing but good things about this product. The packaging is awsome of course and the textire is very, watery/milky, which for me is good, once ive moisturized i dont want more moisture on top of that. it sort of mattifies your skin as well. it is 48 dollars, at Macy's which is weird becuase the site said 60. i like it a lot and i hpe it works well for me in the future. since chanel doesn't really incorporate sunscreens in their products they have created this advanced product to go over the top. second thought NOT OILY at all considering it is SPF 30. would buy again. its a one ounce size, which seems small, but my serum is one ounce and that lasts me three months with day and night use, and of course this ill be using only in the day so it sould last you anywhere from 4 to 6 months.

Fabulous matte sunscreen, perfect to wear over Sublimage cream. I wasn't sure how I'd like putting something over my amazing Sublimage, but this SPF 30 is excellent, working to block out UV rays and doubling as a beautiful makeup primer. I have extremely sensitive skin and I love the way this looks and feels; even better because I know it's protecting my skin from harmful age-enhancing sun rays. Yes, it is expensive; however, I only need to use the smallest amount -- about the size of a pea covers my face in a sheer veil. As with everything Chanel, you get what you pay for and it is SO WORTH IT!!!

I have been test driving this SS for a week now, and I do like it. I will happily continue to use so long as I don't break out. Yes, it is expensive, yes you have to shake it up (is this really a big deal...don't we all do this anyway?) and yes, the bottle is small. Still, you don't need much and I expect this will be the first time ever that I have used an entire bottle of ANY sunscreen. It comes out a white liquidy- solution with a definite slip to it. Kinda reminds me of Origins initial stab at physical sunscreen a few years back...wish I remembered the name, but that stuff was crap and made me pastey...and I am already a fair NC15.
I have tried this with moisturizer underneath, on its own, and with foundation. My SA promised me that it does mattify, and she was RIGHT. Beautifully mattifies, I might add. I have combo skin and am used to needing to touch up my nose a few times each day. Yeah, that is no longer a problem. In fact, I have headed to the lady's room for the usual routine and ended up putting my powder back in my purse untouched. My makeup stays on nicely, too, so yes, it is a wonderful primer. This SS is Chanel through and through:
-Beautiful scent? Check.
-Elegant feel? Check.
-Does it sink in? Yep.
-Cosmetically elegant? Uh-huh.
-Expensive? Yes, it is Chanel.
-Is it worth it? Yes, and I'd get it again.
Hope this review helps. Will update if I break out. Oh - I often have issues with my skin being sensitive. There are very few SS that haven't given me problems, but this one is a keeper. I only use it on my face and have a less expensive option for neck & body.
UPDATE: I didn't break out, but prefer the Hydramax TM because it is easier to reach for when I am in a hurry. I also like the flash of color the TM gives me, although the SPF isn't nearly as nice as this stuff.

I really like this sunblock, but goodness it's expensive. i'm sure I won't be able to continue to buy it all year, that would be way too expensive. It's a liquid, like Clarin's spf 40 and Shiseido's spf 55 lotion, and it's active ingredients are 19% zinc oxide and 7.5% Octinixate. I understand it has a PPD of 10, and that's really as low as i'll go, so i'm glad they made the cutoff point for me. It goes on easily and feels very pleasant and even though it goes on white it does dry to a clear finish, but if i put a lot on i can still see the white. i'm an nc30. And it WILL seperate, so make sure to shake it. It also dries matte so it makes a *great* makeup primer. So basically, it's really nice, except for the price. Best for oilier skins, can be drying in the winter. The scent is not overwhelming but stronger than the shiseido, it's pretty, i like it, but if you prefer your items to be fairly scent-free, this isn't it. You must use a pea sized amount at least 3 times. So i do a pea sized amount or greater for each cheek, for the forehead and then again for my neck. So that's 4 pea sized amounts for real spf coverage.
I tested the chanel on my hand right next to shiseido's and i didn't see much of a difference. The Shiseido was a tiny bit more slimy at first but they seemed to dry the same. The PPD of the Shiseido is about 8 while the Chanel is about 10. But the price difference is great, the Chanel is $48 an ounce while the shiseido works out to about $11.50 an once. Grrrrrr. Frustrating. People in nyc can buy 2 during BG's $25 off $100 event? That's the only way I can think to shave off some dollars.
Active ingredients: 19% zinc oxide and 7.5% octinoxate.

" Invitro Fertility Unit in East Yorkshire. "
Having been through infertility, & subsequently IVF myself, I have read many other accounts relating to the journey of achieving something that most couples take for granted, but what at times can seem like the impossible - a baby. I have gained so much insight from other people & have drawn strength from their stories, so I thought I would share mine & hopefully pass on some hope to other couples in similar situations.
There are many IVF reviews on here, so I thought I would try & cover the hospital at which I myself received treatment (the Hull IVF unit). Since treatment can vary from hospital to hospital, I hope this will be of use to couples planning treatment here. Firstly, a bit of background information to set the scene...
We began TTC (trying to conceive) back in September 2005. Although current guidelines state that couple should TTC for a minimum of 1 year before being referred for tests, we were 'lucky' to be referred after 8 months due to the fact that I had undergone a lot of abdominal surgery as a child. Tests that we subsequently endured were several semen analyses & hormone tests for my husband and a HyCoSy (which involves dye being forced through the uterus & fallopian tubes to check for blockages), a laparoscopy (keyhole surgery to investigate the abdominal cavity), hysteroscopy (to stretch the cervix & investigate the uterus), & countless blood tests to check hormone levels for myself.
The tests were carried out under the guidance of specialists who also run the Hull IVF unit. We were told very early on that our chances of conceiving naturally were a mere 1%, & we were fortunate to be placed on the IVF waiting list before even finishing prior tests & treatment. (IVF waiting lists vary from region to region, but are usually anything from 12 to 36 months). In the meantime, I requested to try a drug called Clomid, which can help to start ovulation. After only being on the drug for a few months, we received a call from the IVF unit to say funding was available & we could start treatment straightaway (this came after only a short wait of about 9 or 10 months). However, I wanted to complete the non-invasive treatment first (just in case it worked) & they agreed to hold our funding for a while longer. Unfortunately, 8 cycles on Clomid had gained me nothing but a fair few extra pounds, acne & a foul temper, leaving us with the realisation that IVF really was our final & only hope of achieving our dream...
IVF process at Hull IVF unit:
When a couple have reached their turn in the IVF queue, they are required to attend a lecture held at the IVF unit. This gives an opportunity to meet the staff at the unit, learn a bit more about the IVF process, ask any questions they may have, & also tour the unit to familiarise themselves with it. We attended the information evening in November 2007 and began treatment in January 2008. Couples are also required to undergo several further tests prior to treatment, including HIV & Hepatitis testing for both, a further semen analysis for the man, & a smear test for the woman.
We were fortunate to live only a few miles away from the unit, which is located in the Hull Women & Children's hospital (HWCH), adjacent to the main Hull Royal Infirmary. We were already very familiar with the HWCH, since this is where the weekly infertility clinics are also held. I had seen the signs leading to the IVF unit every time I visited, always wondering if our journey would lead us there...
The HWCH is a relatively new hospital, having opened in November 2003. The hospital also houses the maternity & labour wards - this is the downside of the IVF unit's location in that you are required to walk past heavily pregnant/in labour 'chavs' smoking outside the hospital...hardly what you need to see when you've struggled for so long for something they blatantly care nothing about...
The IVF unit is located on the ground floor (follow the signs straight through & off to the right). Access is via a locked door - visitors to the unit must buzz & wait to be allowed in. IVF units throughout the country are privately run (patients who meet stringent criteria may be eligible for between 1 & 3 free treatments on the NHS, dependant on local health authorities...in our case, 2 free treatment cycles were available), & this is evident when entering the reception area. The reception incorporates a small waiting area, which is well equipped with comfy seating & tea & coffee making facilities. There are several large plants between the seating, enabling a small degree of privacy, which is important considering the fragile emotional state of the waiting patients. Relaxing music plays quietly in the background. The reception staff are friendly & helpful, but always keep a hushed tone, & remain behind a closed window when not dealing with patients, in order to maintain a sense of calm & privacy. There are plenty of informative leaflets & books available to read, as well as general magazines, & a notice board full of photos of babies'...evidence of the unit's successes....
When called, patients are taken through a second locked door behind which is a consulting room (with plenty of boxes of tissues), a toilet, an ultrasound room, a treatment room, & a recovery area with beds for several patients. Which stage of treatment the patient is at will determine which room they are taken to.
Hull IVF unit offer appointments on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays. Once the woman has reached the required stage in her cycle, then treatment can begin. The first appointment involves completing paperwork relating to the storage of any embryos created etc, whilst also collecting the necessary equipment for the IVF cycle, & the drugs required for the initial stage of 'down-regulation'. You will receive a bag containing 3 types of sterile-wrapped needles, lots of syringes, alcohol swabs & information leaflets. You will also receive a 'sharps bin' for the used syringes. A plan will be drawn up for you to follow, stating drug doses (which are always subject to change at each appointment), & dates of when to commence injections. You will then wait back in the waiting room for your drugs to be brought to you. Once received, you will need to see the receptionist to book your next appointment & to pay for your drugs (should the treatment be privately funded).
'Down-regulation' (putting the woman's body into a menopausal state by suppressing the release of hormones) then commences, by a daily injection (usually evening time) into the stomach. This stage lasts, on average, 2 weeks. Halfway through this stage I developed a terrible headache which continued NON-STOP for over a week, with painkillers having no effect whatsoever.
You will then have a vaginal ultrasound scan at the unit to determine whether or not your natural cycle has been suppressed. If so, you will be given a second set of drugs (a fertility hormone called Follicle Stimulating Hormone - FSH). This is usually taken as a daily injection into the thigh for around 12 days. I found this injection to be quite a bit more painful, with some instances of my entire leg going dead. It's trial & error with the administration of the injections - you will find various techniques of your own which help. You will also need to keep up the daily injection into the stomach.
The FSH will increase the number of eggs you produce - meaning that more eggs can be fertilised. With more fertilised eggs, the clinic has a greater choice of embryos to use in your treatment. Throughout this second stage you will be required to attend the clinic every other day (Mon, Wed, Fri) to monitor your progress. The number & size of follicles (hopefully containing eggs) on the ovaries will be measured by vaginal ultrasound, & your drug dosage may be adjusted accordingly.
Once a certain percentage of eggs are above a minimum size you will be given a third drug, also administered into the thigh, which should be given 36 hours before egg collection. Egg collection will be scheduled in the morning of Mon, Wed, or Fri. On the day of egg collection, you will be taken to the recovery area & asked to change into a gown. A cannula will be inserted into the back of the hand for administration of painkillers & sedatives. Your partner will go to the 'little boys room' to provide his sample which is washed & spun to collect the healthiest sperm.
Once taken to the treatment room, you will be asked to verify all your details to avoid any mix-ups & will be positioned in stirrups whilst the nurse checks your blood pressure & administers the sedatives. Eggs are collected by ultrasound guidance under sedation. This involves a needle being inserted into the scanning probe and into each follicle on each ovary. The eggs are, in turn, collected through the needle, & passed to the laboratory through an adjacent door.
After the procedure, you are taken to recovery & allowed to rest before being discharged. You will be told at this point how many eggs were collected. You will be given progesterone pessaries to use nightly which will increase the thickness of the uterine lining, to hopefully allow the embryo's to implant.
Your eggs are mixed with your partner's or the donor's sperm and cultured in the laboratory for 24 hours. They are then checked to see if any have fertilised. Those that have been fertilised (now called embryos) are grown in the laboratory incubator for another one - two days before being checked again. The best one or two embryos will then be chosen for transfer.
The embryologists will telephone 2 or 3 days after egg collection to inform you how many embryo's have been fertilised (bearing in mind that in a small number of cases this may be zero), & when to come in for embryo transfer.
The embryos are graded, according to 'quality' & the best ones chosen for transfer. Currently, you may choose to have 1 or 2 transferred (I chose to have 2 put back both cycles), but legislation is likely to change in the future, allowing only 1 to be transferred. Once again, you change into a gown & enter the treatment room, where you are made comfortable in stirrups. There is an LCD screen on the wall on which you can view your embryo(s) as they sit under a microscope in the lab, awaiting transfer. This is fantastic (when treatment works), as I can now say I saw my son when he was only 2 or 4 cells (depending on which embryo actually implanted). The embryo(s) are then transferred into the uterus by a long, thin catheter. This is a painless procedure, & after resting a while you are given a pregnancy test kit & test date, & are free to leave. Remaining embryos may be frozen for future IVF attempts, if they are suitable (we never had any which were of a high enough grade for freezing). Pessaries should be continued nightly.
Approx. 16 days after transfer, you are required to take the pregnancy test. If the treatment hasn't worked, then chances are you will have started your period prior to this, but you must take the test anyway & contact the unit with the result. If treatment has worked, then you are given another appointment to collect further pessaries which should be continued for the first trimester of pregnancy. In all, from start of treatment to taking the pregnancy test, an IVF cycle takes approximately 6 weeks, but is dependant on the individual.
Unfortunately our first IVF cycle failed. We didn't have any suitable embryo's for freezing, so had to endure a second cycle. Fortunately, funding for the second cycle was available immediately & we embarked on the second treatment May 2008. This cycle worked (even though I was positive it wouldn't as the embryo's were poorer quality than on the first attempt), & we went on to have our gorgeous little boy, born February 2009.
IVF is emotionally & physically draining. It's not something to be taken lightly, & isn't always the right thing for everyone. Hull IVF unit do offer counselling at all stages - if you need to talk to someone, at any stage, just ask. I declined the counselling so can't comment too much on this side of treatment, although with hindsight probably should have taken up the offer, & almost certainly would have done had the second cycle failed.
Success Rates:
These are the latest success rates for Hull IVF unit (2007), taken from the HFEA (Human Fertilisation & Embryology Unit) website:
Live birth rates per cycle started - 32%. This figure is based on women under 35, using their own eggs in fresh (rather than frozen) cycles. (For comparison, the national average for the same period was also 32%). In women aged 35-37, the Hull IVF unit success rate was 29%, versus the national average of 28%.
Success rates at the clinic have risen steadily between 2003 & 2007, and have been consistently above the national average.
Treatments available:
A range of treatments are available at the Hull IVF unit, including:
In-Vitro fertilisation (IVF), Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), Artificial insemination, & Donor insemination. The unit do also offer an 'egg-share' scheme whereby patients can (if eligible) have free treatment providing they donate half their eggs to another patient. Waiting lists can be quite long for this treatment, depending on a match being available. Prices vary according to & drugs treatment required. Information can be requested from the clinic, see www.hullivf.org.uk. If anyone would like any further advice, please feel free to PM me.
The staff at Hull IVF unit are all wonderful & compassionate, & I cannot thank them enough. They have made our dreams come true.
To anyone embarking on this torturous journey, be it at Hull clinic or wherever, I wish you all the luck in the world. It's a journey no-one should have to endure, but there IS hope and dreams really DO come true....
I am going to rate the IVF unit 4 stars. IVF itself can either be rated a big fat zero, or a 5, depending on the outcome, but since I'm reviewing the unit & the staff I shall award 4 stars (would have given 4.5 if I could), with minor points such as location & lack of parking facilities bringing the score down.

About this project
I would be ecstatic and immensely grateful if people support the idea and allow for this to materialize. We can open a Fountain of Life, an establishment for accumulation of life-force where people can restore their vitality.
Getting connected with the abundant life-force creates a sense of well-being. It could ease pain, help relieve stress, repair cellular damage or boost the immune system.
Society cannot afford to miss on this opportunity. In order to allow for this to happen we need funds to:
– Register a trademark.
– Source materials and build the finest life-force concentrators to be utilized by the visitors/beneficiaries of the Fountain of Life.
– Rent premises for The Fountain of Life. /at least for a year, in order to make sure that people have enough time to get to know the establishment, try the treatments and spread the word/. Hoping to become self-sustainable by the end of the first year and maybe even expand and open other Fountains of Life.
– Refurbish the premises' interior to fit the idea to make the future visitors feel comfortable. Make ready and install the life-force concentrators. Also, buy and fill the place with pot plants. Create and put up a light box for the establishment, so it is easily recognized by the public.
– Hire full-time staff to welcome, inform and aid people with the treatment procedures.
– Organize an opening marketing campaign to introduce The Fountain of Life to the general public.
– Work hard to help rejuvenate the society one person at a time.
Risks and challenges
There really are no challenges or risks.
Everything is simple and straightforward.
As long as we have the funds, it is a matter of weeks until the first Fountain of Life opens for the benefit of the public.

A MAN is fighting for his life in hospital after being attacked and beaten in the street.
The 50-year-old victim is in a critical condition following the assault in the Acomb area of York on Monday, January 21.
A local man, he was attacked on Acomb Road, by the corner with Fairfax Court, at about 7.40pm. He was first taken to York Hospital but was later transferred to Leeds General Infirmary for specialist treatment.
A 19-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy have been arrested in connection with the incident. They remain in police custody for questioning.
Detective Inspector Ian Dyer said: "It is vitally important that all witnesses to the assault do the right thing and contact the investigation team as soon as possible."
Anyone with information is urged to contact police on 101, select option two and ask for York CID. Alternatively information can be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

United to launch third Fabregas bid
Manchester United are preparing to submit a third bid for Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas, a source has told ESPN, but they are "wasting their time" Gerard Pique says.
United have now had two offers for the Spanish midfielder rejected by Barcelona, with reports in Spain suggesting Barca president Sandro Rosell has written to the Old Trafford club to insist he will not be selling the former Arsenal midfielder this summer.
Yet United seem undeterred and their latest bid for Fabregas is believed to represent a club record offer, with a figure of £35 million mentioned in several British newspapers on Tuesday morning.
However, many of those reports also conclude that David Moyes and Old Trafford vice-chairman Ed Woodward may now be embroiled in a fruitless campaign to sign Fabregas, with the Barcelona apparently unwilling to do business.
United's decision to submit a third bid for the 26-year-old appears to suggest they are not yet ready to give up on the chief transfer target for this summer, with manager Moyes happy to speak openly about progress on the potential deal in his media briefings on United's pre-season tour.
But Pique insists Fabregas has told his Barca team-mates that he will stay in Spain.
Pique told The Sun: "United are wasting their time. It took a long time for Cesc to get his dream move back home and he won't give it up. This is home, it is where his family is, and he is playing with his closest friends.
"He has told us he is happy and that he intends to stay with Barcelona."
Moyes and his squad have now touched down in Japan after spending a week in Australia, and the tour agenda continues to be dominated by their ongoing pursuit of Fabregas.
While United's desire to sign Fabregas appears to be as strong as ever, the noises coming out of the Barcelona camp suggests they may struggle to strike a deal with the Catalan club, who are currently in the process of appointing a new head coach following Tito Vilanova's resignation last Friday.
Moyes suggested in his most recent press briefing that he was keen to give a potential deal "every opportunity to materialise" and it appears as if he is about to be given a final answer from Barcelona in his drive to sign Fabregas.

The Cunda Sutta talks about two kinds of monks, viz. "Dhamma-devotee Monks" and "Jhana Monks". It would appear that these refers to (1) monks who are specialists in the Dhamma and devoted to memorizing and analyzing the Dhamma and (2) monks who are meditators.
Reference: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an06/an06.046.than.html
Does this division still exists in the monastic order?

I have an old Mark 1 that I disassembled and can't get it back together (You've heard this before ?). The mainspring housing was very hard to get out. After working with it a while I printed a manual from Ruger (Mark II) but after following all directions when I get it back together I can't draw the slide back more than 1/4" and the safety will not engage. I'm not doing something right and I don't have a clue. I have taken these guns apart before and am a long time shooter. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Danny

I also have a hard time believing they will keep her around, since a large number of Illinois educators recently received what they call RIF (reduction in force) notices and the preponderance of them are Special Ed or teaching in some type of compensatory education programs.
I wonder if Alicia knew that was coming and when she loses will go on a speaking tour or something about how bully's never win. :lol

The test you want is really where location IS NULL. The older versions had a hack to allow =NULL be transformed into IS NULL due to some broken clients which is now turned off by default. You can use set transform_null_equals=true to get back the old behavior.

iPod Classic, iPod 5th Generation, iPod Photo, iPod Mini, iPod Nano 1st Generation, iPod Nano 2nd Generation, iPod Nano 3rd Generation, iPod Nano 4th Generation, iPod Nano 5th Generation
Typically before trying to reset iPod, try connecting the iPod to a power adapter (with the power adapter into an electrical outlet of course) or connect the iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power since this will ensure your ipod battery being dead is not the issue.
Do not reset your iPod if it is connected to your computer and displays any of the following, but instead eject the iPod from with iTunes first:
Turn the Hold switch on and off, ie: slide it to Hold position, then turn it back to non-hold.
Push and hold the "Menu" and "Select" (Center) buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears (typically about 6 to 8 seconds).
You might need to repeat this step if it does not work the first time.
If you are having trouble rebooting your iPod try seting it on a flat surface and then make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
Also, double check that your iPod Nano, iPod shuffle, or iPod does not have the Hold switch in the locked position.

The Chatham-Savannah Citizen Advocacy annual covered-dish meeting next week will serve up the most diverse extended family gathering you can imagine.
About 100 people of many ethnicities, means, capabilities, and ages will share a meal on good china set on white tablecloths. The food and tableware come from home kitchens. The flowers are gathered from home gardens.
Some people will use wheelchairs. Everyone will use parts of their brains and hearts too seldom challenged.
For 27 years, coordinator Tom Kohler has matched people, the valued and the devalued, into friendships that can last days or decades.
He introduced Linda Wittish and Charlene Wilson, who have remained friends for 25 years. Charlene was single, working full time as a medical transcriptionist when they met. Charlene, who is blind, was seeking a friend outside of work and church.
Linda, now general manager of Savannah Magazine, helped with grocery shopping and balancing a checkbook. They went to dinner regularly. She was matron of honor at Charlene's wedding.
"I learned so much from her resilience, patience with people and willingness to give them second, third and fourth chances," Linda said.
"It's a window into a side of life I never would have seen. We would never have crossed paths if not for Tom."
"While learning about disabilities, you examine your feelings about lots of things."
Linda's daughter, Erica, was 3 years old when the Wittish family met Charlene.
"Erica grew up with a different perspective about people's differences."
As the family was preparing for a visit when Erica was 4, she said she had to go to her room to get something for Charlene.
"I'm going to give Charlene my binoculars to help her see."
Erica may not have comprehended the issues, but she understood generosity and tenderness, Linda said.
Tom said he helped edit a college paper that Erica had written about inclusion. "She understood what it is all about: the need to make sure people
aren't left out. We can't keep keeping people separate," Tom said.
Today, Erica Parker is a special education teacher with the Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools.
Elizabeth Deher, 25, will attend her first annual meeting as a new coordinator with the organization.
Extended family stories are a big part of the event. Tuesday, Sherry Erskine's daughter, college student Kate Rea, will talk about knowing her mother's protégé all her life. Sally Hearn held Kate when she was a day old.
Linda said, "People with different talents and backgrounds come together to eat, have a good time and tell stories. It's an amazing look at what one human being will do for another."
It's not about being paid. It's not about family obligation.
"That annual meeting is the closest view of heaven we have on earth."

Chicago, IL, United States, 2009/06/19 - As iPhone 3.0 launches today Ultralingua users see updates to the popular dictionary line. Version 1.2 contains search-as-you-type and additional data to improve usability and performance - Ultralingua.com.
Language software company Ultralingua has prepared iPhone users for Apple's changeover by releasing an update to its popular dictionary applications today. The release makes every Ultralingua translation dictionary compatible with iPhone 3.0 OS and improves speed and performance.
Loring Harrop, General Manager of Ultralingua, comments: "It was clear to us that the update to 3.0 called for developers to meet compatibility needs - but we used the update to do much more.

Improvements were made to English Definitions & Thesaurus, German-English, Spanish-English, French-English, Portuguese-English, German-French and Italian-French.

Our authors suggest additions to our language data regularly - keeping our up to 250,000-word dictionaries current with the latest definitions, slang, idioms, and technical terms. Ultralingua sets itself apart by having our finger on the pulse of language. Users know they can count on us to be a current and evolving source of reliable definitions, translations, and more."

- How do I use a Submission move?
Also, can someone give me advice on how to hold my own on the ground? On the easiest setting I can destroy anyone, but if I bump up the difficulty, I know I'm done when I get on my back.
Since you don't wanna search past posts....
First off, rotate right stick for best chance at pulling off a submission.
Second, your opponent has to be worn down correctly. This I will break down:
You can be tired (stamina) or weakened (basically your health). As for being weakened, your striking, kicks, sub offense, and sub defense can all be weakened independently of each other.Certain submissions from certain positions need the opponent to be tired, some need them to be weakened, some need them to be both
You can use the left stick to cancel a submission without losing position if you know you may not pull it off.
To escape submissions:
1. Keep mashing any button - this is mostly dependent on their sub offense vs your sub defense both accounting for stamina, and positions also. Also certain subs, your strength comes into play.
2. Keep rotating your right stick - This will get you out with a technical maneuver and usually put you in an advantageous position. This is mostly dependent on your positions, sub defense, and your grapple offense in regards to their sub offense and grapple defense. (in the demo this is what you should do with Shogun to escape)
3. Keep pressing all four A,B,X,Y - This will get you out with Brute force and usually bring you to your feet. This is dependent on your sub defense and strength. (in Demo this is what you should do with Chuck to escape)
Also, remember in regards to stamina... even with "full stamina" you may end up doing enough to make you temporarily tired and that is the best time to strike or make a sub attempt.
Also, Chuck is not a submission artist, but great at avoiding subs and takedowns in general. Shogun isn't a BJJ master....
Finally, people need to defend against transitions rather than make them themselves if they wanna wear down opponent. Also need to be accurate on your right stick, and treat it like you are flicking the motion instead of holding it when you complete the motion. Transitions cost you stamina, defending costs your opponent stamina instead. Don't wildly flail on the right stick.
An example of some of the finer points of the submission game...
Imagine you are Shogun trying to get Chuck with a triangle choke...
Just because stamina is gone doesn't mean their strength is gone remember
Basically you can weaken their overall strength, their arms, and their legs all independently from each other. For a fighter like Chuck who has extremely good sub defense, you have to weaken their strength too. If you are going for an armbar you need to weaken arm strength, kneebar - leg strength.
In the example... on expert, to pull a triangle off on Chuck with Shogun... usually you will need to have met the following conditions...
#1: Chuck needs low stamina
#2 Chuck needs to be overall weakened
#3 Shogun needs to still be strong (legs and arms and body)
#4 Shogun needs stamina
Don't forget though....
Chuck SUCKS at subbing, GREAT at avoiding subs....
Shogun isn't exactly "excellent" at subbing himself... it is not easy, especially on expert.
Depending on your fighters submission off or defense you either button smash or rotate the right stick. Not sure what the number cutoffs are though.
Pressing the RS when your in the right position will attempt a submission.
Hate Heals, you should try it some time.
Be warned though, even if you've completely destroyed Liddell and you're not hurt at all, it's still next to impossible to do subs on the higher difficulties.
Ok, thanks for the quick responses guys. I'll try them out tomorrow.

adobe is bad!!!
read this scarry stuff about adobe:
The Island Of Dr. Moreau
Killer penguin lacks eyes, yet it doesn't seem to care. That frightens me. I don't want to get any part of me near those teeth.
not the most inspired name idea on the elephant creature :))... try pronouncing it out loud
My students just created their own creatures based on different adaptations... cant wait to show them this!
Please remove the Tapbird, Arne Olav used my owl image without my permission which was and is a violation of Copyright Laws. If it is not removed in a timely manner I will contact your Hosting Provider with a DMCA Takedown Notification.
Now MiaM, you just sound like a bitter pill, trying to spoil some harmless fun. You could have said "Wow! I love what you have done with my photo! Could you please contact me to discuss the logistics of correctly attributing this image?". But you opted for threats and hyperbole. How about relaxing and helping to keep the Internet the vibrant and creative place that it is? However, if the creator of these cool images has sought to achieve personal gain from editing yours, I will happily recant and join the lynch mob.
No Deon, I am not a bitter pill, I am someone who is protecting her copyrights as afforded by Copyright Laws. The creator of these images has admitted he made a mistake and removed the image file he created using my image from his own site. Everyone of these images were created by Arne Olav using images he admits he just took from Google Image Search. And yes, he was getting paid from advertisements on his site just as fstoppers is gaining revenue from images displayed here. Having Tapbird on 25+ Google search pages has reduced the value of my owl image.
Additionally, fstoppers does articles frequently on copyright infringements and image theft, it seems very hypocritical of them to feature a person who isn't a photographer and steals images to manipulate them into something the photographers never intended them to be. Very hypocritical.
Honestly, I don't think his work devalues your image at all. In fact, without it, I would never have heard of you, so you have gained exposure where, otherwise, you would not have! I do understand that having your images taken and re-used would be annoying, but in this case, I think you would have gained more by embracing the fun context of this, and ensuring attribution was given appropriately, rather than using words like violate, repeat offender and theft. It's not like Olav set out to rip anyone off...
Well, naughty people not understanding copyright and making money from it! But seriously, you could deal with this stuff in a better way than posting a public comment with what now appears like idle threats. Given that you posted this two months ago, and this content is still here...
You take amazing images, but to be honest, from your remark on this post, I took you for an amateur, as I didn't think your comment was a particularly professional way to deal with this issue.
I hope you get it sorted.
Deon, I have a very busy life and haven't had time to get back to this case of infringement, it isn't an idle threat at all. I have been in contact with fstoppers about this and unbelievably they didn't remove the image and said it was a derivative work, sorry but that doesn't fly with me. Yet the copyright law specifically addresses derivative works.
As far as being professional, do you honestly believe it is professional or ethical of fstoppers to showcase a repeat offender when they are so vocal about protecting copyrights? I don't think so.

Kia Soul Gets the YouTube Treatment for YTMA
Kia will be the official sponsor for the first-ever YouTube Music Awards and has built a custom Soul to celebrate the event.
Featuring a matte white paint job with red accents, the Kia Soul is a collaboration between Lux Motowerks and RIDES Magazine. Of course the two-tone paint scheme is instantly recognizable as YouTube's signature color scheme, but the logo will be located on the sides of the car just in case you didn't know. Bright red custom wheels outfit the exterior, while most of the key elements are located in the cabin of the Soul.
A wireless keyboard has been embedded in the center armest that joins a webcam for high-definition video recording, 10 WiFi-enabled iPads in the rear cargo area while a Mac Mini provides a WiFi Hot Spot for video uploads and streaming.
The first-ever YouTube Music Awards (YTMA) will kick off on November 3 at 3 p.m. pacific and will be broadcasted live on the website.

HUNDREDS of extra post- graduate places are to be created at Scottish universities under a £30 million scheme.
The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) will target part of its funding for higher education over the next five years at creating an additional 850 taught postgraduate places in 18 universities.
The places are focused on courses that support industry and meet skills demands from key sectors such as energy, financial and business services, food and drink, life sciences, tourism and creative industries.
Loading article content
Last year, a leading university figure warned the nation's economic future depended on an expansion in the number of Scottish postgraduate students.
Professor Sir Timothy O'Shea, principal of Edinburgh University, said creating a larger pool of more skilled workers was vital to allow Scotland to compete globally. His call followed the publication of a major independent inquiry into postgraduate education across the UK which also called for urgent reform.
The inquiry by the Higher Education Commission warned the postgraduate system excluded poorer students and failed to produce sufficient numbers of highly trained workers. Unless action is taken, the report warned UK firms will need to recruit foreign workers, or move their offices overseas, at huge cost to the economy.
However, earlier this month The Herald revealed that the number of Scots studying postgraduate courses declined by nearly 2% in 2011/12 from 9570 to 9395, sparking fears for the future economy.
Education Secretary Michael Russell said: "This significant investment is a further sign of our commitment to providing exceptional education that meets the demands of our industry and economy and gives our students unprecedented opportunities.
"Scotland's highly skilled workforce is an important factor in attracting inward investment and boosting our indigenous industries."
Mark Batho, chief executive of the SFC, added: "Scottish employers are increasingly looking to recruit people with postgraduate qualifications and this initiative responds positively to that demand.
"The additional places we are funding will provide students with greater opportunities for postgraduate study in Scotland and deliver courses that are directly relevant to the country's future economic needs."
To support this programme the SFC is making an additional investment of more than £6.2m in academic year 2013/14.

Clean Spot is the first self-serve dog- and car-wash facility in Fort Wayne.
Each of its seven self-serve car-wash bays features various cleaning products, natural bristle foam brushes, high-pressure hot water, high-power vacuums and vending for cleaning accessories.
The cost for washing dogs typically ranges from $10 to $20. Prices may go up to $30 with a combined dog and car wash.
First-time business owners Brenda and Alan Stephens bought the location last spring and updated the pre-existing Canterbury Car Wash to include a heated indoor bay where dogs can walk onto the wash station as their owners clean them.
Along with elevated basins, the dog wash bay includes flexible hoses, pet shampoos and conditioners, skunk odor remover, and cash or credit card operation daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
"After some research, we saw people doing car and dog washes in other areas. We didn't know of one in Fort Wayne…and felt this was a good location with so much traffic," said Brenda Stephens, 49, who graduated from Purdue University with a degree in nursing.
The couple owns their own dog, Lilly, and knows the difficulty of cleaning their pet, especially a large one, in winter. Brenda Stephens said, "It's difficult to get a big dog in a tub and right now it's too cold to wash in a backyard…and when they shake there's a gigantic mess."
Feeling she and her husband have a good start to their operation, Brenda Stephens said she and her husband hope to expand to include a second dog washing station and vending machines with more dog cleaning supplies.

West Nile appears in Lowndes County
Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:19:06 GMT —
The Georgia Department of Public Health has confirmed that six mosquito samples have tested positive for the West Nile Virus in Lowndes County as of last week.
Officials say that fourteen mosquito pools have tested positive for mosquito borne disease so far this year, including West Nile and Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
Public Health Officials continue to encourage everyone to guard against exposure to mosquitoes. According to Rosmarie Kelly, PhD, MPH, Public Health Entomologist, mosquito activity appears to be lower now than last year at this point; however, we won't know for sure until all data are in for August.
Officials with the health department urge the public to take some of the following precautions:
- Use insect repellent containing DEET, Picaridin, IR3535, or PMD. Be sure to follow the instructions on the label.
- Any containers that can collect water should be discarded or dumped daily.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks when outdoors, especially at dawn and dusk to reduce the amount of exposed skin, as weather permits.
- Avoid being outdoors from dusk to dawn, peak mosquito biting times, if possible.
- Set up outdoor fans to keep mosquitoes from flying near you.

Adobe Systems Incorporated, Fidelity Investments, and JetBlue Airways are the winners of the 2011 Forrester Research (Nasdaq: FORR) Voice Of The Customer Awards, announced today at Forrester's Customer Experience Forum 2011. The Voice Of The Customer Awards recognize organizations that excel in collecting, analyzing, and acting on feedback from their customers. Nearly 1,400 people attended the New York event, which was targeted at Customer Experience Professionals. "This year's nominees set a new bar for the scope, scale, and quality of voice of the customer programs," said Forrester Analyst Andrew McInnes. "Compared to previous participants, they incorporate more customer data, influence more internal stakeholders, and deliver more value to their customers and their bottom lines." More than 40 companies representing leading brands in financial services, healthcare, retail, technology, and travel submitted entries to this year's Voice Of The Customer Awards. Winners were judged across five categories: clarity of approach, business value to the organization, positive impact on customer experience, innovation, and potential for other companies to repeat the practice. "The best VoC programs this year drew a direct line from their VoC activities to their business results, earning themselves a permanent seat at the executive table," said McInnes. Adobe Systems Incorporated. The software provider won for its comprehensive program and focus on executive engagement. In addition to other activities, the firm created a Customer Immersion Program where executives step into customers' shoes for a day, attempt relevant customer scenarios, discuss opportunities for improvement with frontline employees, and engage with actual customers. "Adobe's VoC programs have driven significant experiential gains by providing our senior leaders with first-hand knowledge of the customers' point of view – what works, what doesn't, and how we can evolve our practices and products to better meet customers' needs," said Lambert Walsh, vice president, customer success, Adobe Systems Incorporated. "We're honored to receive this recognition from Forrester. This award represents the commitment of teams across Adobe to deepen our customer listening practices, and to truly engage with our customers to act on their feedback and learn from their ideas."

text: Amber is 40, beautiful, rich, spoiled and arrogant beyond measure. Selfish, superficial and childless, she steamrolls her way through life, leaving in her wake an ever-present aura of repressed rage, pungent dissatisfaction and secret longing. Nothing and no one can make this woman happy, including her wealthy but passive husband Tony, a pharmaceutical kingpin. Knowing that his wife is bored by their usual exotic vacations, Tony surprises Amber by taking her and two other couples, on a private cruise from Greece to Italy. But as usual, Amber dismisses her husband's pathetic efforts to please her. Complaining about everything from the size of their private jet to their choice of companions, Amber loses it when she finds that the sleek yacht she was expecting turns out to be a converted Greek fishing boat. Forced into an amenities-free vacation, Amber finds a target for her anger in Guiseppe, the ship's strapping, young first mate. Guiseppe has a wicked sense of humor and a repressed rage of his own, and bitterly resents American clients and all they stand for--especially Amber and her condescending attitude. Unfortunately, he knows that he cannot challenge her without losing his job. When Guiseppe takes Amber out to join her shipmates on an underwater cave-exploration, their boat's motor fails, leaving the two stranded, with a thunderstorm fast approaching. When Amber becomes dependent on Guiseppe for her survival, the rules governing their relationship suddenly change.

YSRCP withdraw notice of no-confidence before it is taken up
January 17, 2014 - Hyderabad
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Rajya Sabha member CM Ramesh on Friday charged YSRCP for withdrawing the no-confidence motion before the Lok Sabha takes it up for voting.
Speaking to media, CM Ramesh said that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and M Raja Mohan Reddy withdrew their notice on December 18, 2012 when Lok Sabha was to take up for voting. He said that the TDP could gain the support of 50 MPs for the motion.
YSRCP brushes aside the allegation
YSRCP leader MV Mysoora Reddy brushed aside the allegation and said that the TDP was deliberately distorting fats to gain political mileage. He said that the party had given notice on seven of the eight working days of the Parliament and 'when the Lok Pal Bill was to be discussed, we told the Speaker to post our notice to the next day but the House was adjourned sine die after passing the Bill', said Mysoora Reddy.

Slowly but surely I am getting this narrowed down. I am looking for a side by side, 12 gauge, that will shoot slugs, and steel shot, with decent accuracy. It has to have only one trigger, and somewhat reasonably priced. The American Arms Gentry seems like a decent gun. Anybody out there want to comment on it. I know I am probably beginning to bug some people with all these questions about the side by side, and I appologize, just trying to get as many opinions as I can. Thanks in advance for your help.
