AUSTIN -- If it's privacy you want, you better hope Steve Russo wasn't hired to find you.
"When you're tailing people, it's real important to keep a safe distance," explained Russo during an interview in Georgetown a few weeks ago.
The Austin private investigator uses cameras hidden in ink pens, trees and binoculars.
He also uses a bionic ear that looks like small satellite. "Just as long as we're in a public setting, like a park or something, and we point it, we can actually listen to people on the phone," explained Russo.
Many of his cases involve insurance fraud. Companies who suspect an employee is faking an injury will hire his firm, Watchful Eye Investigations, to catch them lying.
He recently found two Texas men lying about their injuries after both filed for workers' compensation.
Both claimed their injuries on the job were so severe, they needed to be in back braces and were bed ridden. Instead, he caught them on camera moving around and bending over. Russo even found one of them riding a motorcycle – apparently pain free.
"I mean, if you've got a hurt back like he said, there's no way you're riding a Harley," contended Russo.
A KVUE Defenders investigation discovered reports of insurance fraud in Texas hit a record last year.
Since 2010, the amount of money involved in false insurance claims more than tripled to nearly $36 million.
The state's most frequent cases include motor vehicles, accounting for nearly a quarter of all insurance fraud reports in Texas.
One alleged fraud case involves a $1 million Bugatti luxury car. An insurance company filed suit against its Houston owner claiming he intentionally crashed the car in the water to collect a $2 million policy in 2009.
Many involve staged accidents. Hidden cameras used by FBI helped catch several people in 2009 rear-ending a vehicle on purpose. The video shows several people then get inside the one of the vehicles. Those passengers then file fake medical claims for neck and back injuries.
"Most of these cases are all about following the money trial," explained Jeff Kirk, chief fraud investigator for the Texas Department of Insurance.
Kirk says video can significantly help settle cases or convict abusers. "Very few of our cases go to trial, but if they do, the video evidence is fantastic," said Kirk.
According to the FBI, insurance fraud costs Americans more than $40 billion a year. That means the average household pays up to $700 more each year in premiums because of fraud.
"Companies aren't going to just lose money, they are going to pass those losses on to the consumers, and that is certainly going to result in higher premiums for all of us," said Kirk.
While Russo gets paid to catch fake insurance claims, he knows it also costs him money. "Absolutely it frustrates me. I pay. I have to jump through all the hoops, why can't they do it?" said Russo.
Despite the record number of insurance fraud reports in Texas, TDI has not requested any new investigators. The agency says it has shifted resources to give more cases attention, such as workers' compensation fraud.
If you suspect insurance fraud, contact TDI's fraud unit.

Long Island places we loved
You teased your hair (maybe put up your mohawk), put on your spandex and headed to a hot spot every Friday night. Or maybe you were one to rise early Saturday morning and shop at a local branch of a beloved chain store. Or maybe you were too young for either of those things, and you just liked to play at the neighborhood amusement center. These places are closed, but your memories are forever. Take a stroll down Long Island's memory lane with us.

COMMENT: Tell us about your disco nights, rock revelries, new wave carousing, fond childhood flashbacks and, naturally, Long Island reminiscences.

Height: 6'5" Weight: 260 Age: 26 Experience: 5th season College: Oklahoma Drafted: 2010 R1 P21, Bengals
Posted: 1/5/2014 1:00pm et
Cincinnati Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (hamstring) is expected to play in the team's Wild Card game Sunday, Jan. 5.
Huddle Up: Gresham -- and fellow TE Tyler Eifert -- are active and will play today.
Posted: 12/20/2013 6:16pm et
Cincinnati Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (abdomen) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 20, and is listed as probable for Week 16.
Huddle Up: Count on Gresham and rookie Tyler Eifert splitting the Cincy TE targets once again.
Posted: 12/20/2013 12:23am et
Cincinnati Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (abdomen) practiced in full Thursday, Dec. 19.
Huddle Up: There was some speculation that Gresham's hip/abdomen injury -- which forced him from the second half of the Week 15 loss to the Steelers -- could affect his Week 16 status, but it looks like it's all systems go after back-to-back full practices this week.
Posted: 11/15/2013 5:04pm et
Cincinnati Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (groin) practiced in full Friday, Nov. 15, and is probable for Week 11.
Huddle Up: Count on having Gresham available after he missed the Week 10 loss to the Ravens. This, of course, knocks down the fantasy value of fellow TE Tyler Eifert, who was targeted a season-high 10 times last week.
Posted: 11/7/2013 7:01pm et
Cincinnati Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (groin) did not practice Thursday, Nov. 7.
Huddle Up: This is now officially a situation to keep an eye on as Gresham went from limited reps Wednesday to no reps Thursday. See if he can make it back on the field Friday.
Posted: 5/9/2013 1:49pm et
Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden indicated the
team could use two-tight end sets more often this season with TEs
Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert. Gruden said the team will still
be using three-receiver sets like they did last season.
Huddle Up: Gresham (Cincy) and Eifert (Notre Dame) combined for 114 catches,
1,422 yards and 9 TDs in 2012 and gives Guden & Co. another
offensive dimension to go along with the 3-WR sets and run-heavy
looks utilizing BenJarvus Green-Ellis and/or second-round rookie
Giovani Bernard.

At Horizon Marketing Group, we share in the global responsibility for protecting and preserving our environment today and for future generations. We have always been "green efficient" since the start of the company in 1998, and we still take steps every day to implement innovative and responsible environmental practices to reduce our carbon footprint.
The greenest paper is no paper at all, so HMG keeps things digital and dematerialized whenever possible. We keep files on computers instead of in file cabinets, and review documents on screen rather than printing them out. We send emails instead of paper letters, and reach out to clients on a one on one basis through our private Intranet system.
Furthering our digitization efforts, HMG has started utilizing tablets during our presentations. Rather than print out multiple copies of one presentation for each participant, we simply share the presentation with our clients via tablets placed throughout the room.
HMG has developed a Digital Sales Literacy Closet which utilizes a mobile web page to obtain valuable contacts in an effective and green way. Here is how the process works: a custom mobile site is developed that allows sales representatives to have discussions with potential clients in any setting and enter their email addresses on the small form. The representative then selects which companies and/or products the prospect is interested in and an email is immediately sent to the new contact. The email contains a customized message from the sales representative as well as the information the prospect requested. The data is captured for future email correspondence or contact, and the lead information is sent and stored in the Peer360® leads database.
From the accounting end, 99% of our invoices are emailed, not printed and mailed. We only send statements upon request and via email. This saves on paper, ink, envelopes and postage. We ask clients to pay us by ACH, versus sending us a printed check.
About 80% of our vendors email invoices instead of sending paper copies. We ask vendors if we can pay them via ACH/Wire Transfer instead of sending checks.
Virtual tradeshows are an attractive green alternative to traditional tradeshows. Virtual tradeshows look and function like the real thing, only they take place in cyberspace. The online venue may even be designed to look like a convention center, complete with lobby, lounge and exhibit hall featuring many different companies' booths. HMG has started leveraging virtual tradeshows to reduce travel and materials needed for on-site tradeshows. By utilizing a virtual environment, we further enhance our digitization efforts by offering digital materials to tradeshow attendees.
American workers spend hundreds of hours per year commuting through rush hour traffic, resulting in an excess of wasted gas. We ease some of this strain by working from home, allowing employees to be more productive and use less energy. Instant messaging, video conferencing, and other innovative workflow tools make effective telecommuting a reality.
Peer360 was born from the culmination of experience and knowledge gained by Horizon Marketing Group. We know that email marketing is a great way to be Green and save money. Email newsletters save lots of money over print and postage, and can be tracked. Feedback is fast and efficient. You can know who has opened the email, what articles were most read and which links were clicked the most. You can create interactive polls and surveys to immediately engage your members and find out what they really think.

Cushing syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your body is exposed to high levels of the hormone cortisol. It may also occur if you take too much cortisol or other steroid hormones.
See also: Cushing's disease (pituitary Cushing's)
Cushing syndrome may be caused by taking too much corticosteroid medications, such as prednisone and prednisolone. These drugs are used to treat conditions such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.
Other people develop Cushing syndrome because their bodies produce too much cortisol, a hormone normally made in the adrenal gland. Causes of too much cortisol are:
Most people with Cushing syndrome will have:
Skin changes that are often seen:
Muscle and bone changes include:
Women with Cushing syndrome often have:
Men may have:
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
Blood sugar and white blood cell counts may be high. Potassium level may be low.
Laboratory tests that may be done to diagnose Cushing syndrome and identify the cause are:
Tests to determine the cause or complications may include:
High cholesterol, including high triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) may also be present.
Treatment depends on the cause.
Cushing syndrome caused by corticosteroid use:
Cushing syndrome caused by a pituitary or a tumor that releases ACTH (Cushing's disease):
Cushing syndrome due to an adrenal tumor or other tumors:
Removing the tumor may lead to full recovery, but there is a chance that the condition will return.
Survival for people with ectopic tumors depends on the tumor type. Untreated, Cushing syndrome can be life-threatening.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Cushing syndrome.

Uterine cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the uterus (womb). Cancer occurs when cells in the body (in this case uterus cells) divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a regulated manner. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors, which can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor does not invade or spread.

The Packers let Charles go and the Bears let Brian go but they
both still think they can play; at what level?
The Minnesota Vikings are not currently looking to sign former Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, reports NFL.com.
Earlier Tuesday, according to Michael Sneed of the Chicago Sun-Times, it seemed liked Urlacher was leaning toward signing with the Vikings.
Instead of bring Urlacher to Minnesota, the plan is for the Vikings to look to players already on the roster to fill their void at middle linebacker.
The Sun-Times reported in March that the Vikings were "monitoring" Urlacher but general manager Rick Spielman said last month he doesn't "anticipate" signing the eight-time Pro Bowler who turns 35 this month.
Sneed reports that Urlacher, who nixed the Bears' $1.6 million contract offer in March, has also been talking to the Broncos.
Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports the Broncos have no interest in Urlacher.
Sorry Brian: #Broncos are not interested in MLB Brian Urlacher. As in period.—

The Packers let Charles go and the Bears let Brian go but they
both still think they can play; at what level?
The guy has been the most overrated player in the league for the last four years.....at least.
Old and slow does not get you a job in the NFL. He was great but it's time to hang up the spikes. If you can't perform you will not have much leadership impact.
Welcome to a course in new NFL economics. Great players at 35 with the usual physical problems, but formidable leadership and proven ability, just cannot command contracts, where very mobile rookies are both inexpensive and need playing time. It's not just economics, the game itself is changing.
Who would be interested? I just don't see what he brings to the field. Just not an NFL calibre player anymore.

Cardinal Bank agrees to finance $13 million hotel for Eagle Village project in Fredericksburg
- July 14, 2011
- |
The University of Mary Washington Foundation said Thursday that Cardinal Bank has agreed to finance a $13 million, 100-room hotel in the second phase of Eagle Village, a mixed-use development across from the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg.
The foundation has formed a new company, Eagle Hospitality LLC, which will own and manage the hotel. Currently, it is in negotiations to select a prospective hotel franchise and management company. "The UMW Foundation and Eagle Hospitality LLC are delighted to announce our fiscal partnership with Cardinal Bank," Jeff Rountree, executive director and CEO of the UMW Foundation, said in a statement. "They are a perfect fit for our hospitality development team, and we look forward to constructing and opening a first-class hotel property with them."
Initial plans call for about 100 rooms and suites, meeting and conference areas and mixed-used retail space. The hotel will be located between Giant Food and the new section of Eagle Village, and will be connected to the campus of Mary Washington Healthcare by a connector road that should open in the next six to eight months. The first phase of the $76 million Eagle Village project got underway in 2009 and includes apartment housing for 600 students, first-floor retail, offices and a parking deck.
The hotel project was helped along by local and state incentives. Fredericksburg recently approved a $310,000 agreement with the UMW Foundation to help with development costs. "The city's incentive, coupled with a matching incentive from the commonwealth of Virginia, adds up to a significant sum of $620,000," Rountree said. "This is truly a win-win situation for all parties involved, with the final outcome being a new business opening in the city and the tax income and job creation that will follow."
Cardinal Bank, headquartered in McLean, is owned by Cardinal Financial Corp. The bank has 27 branches in the metropolitan Washington area, including Stafford and Fredericksburg.

Of course Taylor Martinez said, "I'm ready to go."
He hears the clock ticking. This is his senior year. Last call to do something big. Last call for legacy.
He injured his shoulder and two toes in the season opener, back on Aug. 31. Nebraska lost the first shot at a big game, to UCLA on Sept. 14. Martinez had sat on the sidelines since then.
Martinez had sat and watched helplessly as his senior year passed before him. Last week, when coach Bo Pelini asked if he was ready, there were six games left in his career. Tick, tock.
So he said 'Yes, Coach.' He's played hurt before. Been a warrior. He was close enough, he felt.
Pelini agreed. Can't blame the coach. You have to trust the player to tell you the truth.
Martinez looked like himself early. But as the game wore on, it was clear he wasn't.
Coach Bo said on Monday he didn't think Martinez's injuries — which now include a hip pointer — played a factor in his performance.
But even with dropped passes and missed blocks and plays getting into the huddle late, it was clear that while Martinez may not be the problem, an injured Martinez is not the solution, either.
Right now, Nebraska needs solutions.
What it has is confusion. For over a month, Pelini said Martinez had turf toe. There was no mention of the shoulder problem.
|Join the daily conversation on the Tom Shatel Facebook page.
On Saturday, Martinez said it wasn't turf toe but wouldn't say what it was. He said they called it turf toe because it sounded good. Classic.
Were the toes broken? Why wouldn't NU just say it?
On Monday, Pelini couldn't say what ailed the toes — he couldn't remember the doctor's term — but said they were sprained toes.
Nebraska doesn't need confusion. Pelini and Co. need everyone on the same page.
They also need an offense that does much more than what we saw Saturday.
If Martinez isn't 100 percent, he can't help Nebraska. Go with the kid, Tommy Armstrong.
The redshirt freshman looked sharp against South Dakota State. Against Illinois and Purdue, two of the worst teams in the Big Ten, there were rough edges.
And the defensive schemes and personnel lining up in November are a little tougher than the Illini or Boilers offered.
But Armstrong gives you two things right now: health and the option. With the option comes its sidekick, the running game. That's the best possible identity NU can take into the last five games. And the Huskers could use identity.
I don't know if Armstrong can win one or five games. But Martinez has too much going on right now: shoulder, hip, toes.
He's been a warrior throughout his career, but flashbacks of the 2010 Big 12 championship game keep coming back. NU doesn't need a repeat of that Martinez, helpless in a collapsing pocket.
It's a cruel twist of fate, and no way to have a senior year. But if turning to a freshman to win games is the best option, then Martinez can understand.
Once upon a time, that was him.
� I know coaches and players like to play hide and seek with injuries, but I wish NU would have just said whatever Martinez's toe injury was from the beginning. If we have to get out our medical dictionary to look up the word, we'll do it.
� From now on, when I want to know a player's availability for a game, I'll just call Vegas.
� Pelini spoke for almost an hour Monday. He answered questions but didn't have many answers. One of the best things was a story he told, about how he and his son Patrick ran into two Nebraska fans after the loss. The fans were standing by the team bus, cheering the team as it boarded and offering support.
"My son looked at me and said, 'Dad, those are two great fans,' " Pelini said. "I said, 'You know what, Patrick? That's the 99 percent (of Nebraska fans).' "
� Several readers on my Monday chat wanted to know if there's a magic number of wins Pelini has to hit this year. I think number of wins can be skewed, especially with a schedule that has six all-but-guaranteed wins on it. Well, five. Before the season, I considered Minnesota one of those six.
� Haven't tipped the ball yet, but Creighton fans are making the Big East presidents look good. They've bought 1,100 tickets to the Big East tournament — Madison Square Garden, New York — in March. The Big East only sells all-session tickets, and they go for $180, $275, $350, $399 and $600 each. That's not counting the plane ticket that costs an arm and the hotel that will run you a leg. Now if they can only find a Sundecker's.
� The folks who bought those $600 tickets no doubt can get into the new Lexus Club at the CenturyLink Center. The Lexus Club is the former club lounge, and along with the improved HD video scoreboard, it's given the Link a new "wow" factor. There are a lot of TV's in that place. But, no, you can't buy a car there.
� Creighton fans might hear the voice of Kevin Kugler in the Lexus Club this season. No, he won't be selling you a car. Or buying you a drink. Nebraska's national sportscaster has signed up with Fox Sports to do Big East hoops on TV this year. When does the man get any sleep?
� Dick Stockton also will do Big East games this year. Stockton is better suited for this than baseball. I associate Stockton with NBA playoff games in the 1970s and '80s. I just hope he doesn't say, "Doug McDermott, guarded by Andrew Toney."
� Basketball season starts soon. Has Andrew Wiggins won the NBA MVP yet?'
� Good thing I had Missouri in the projected four-team playoff last week. The trap door opened again on Saturday and of course MU lost in the north end zone of Faurot Field. Yahoo Sports columnist and Mizzou grad Pat Forde wrote that they should detonate that end zone. Better give Matt Davison a piece of that turf first. Wasn't that where Phil Bates scored the only touchdown in the 1981 NU-MU thriller? Yeah, I thought so.
� UNO hockey is off to a 2-4 start, but at least the easy part of the schedule comes up. Two games each against Denver, North Dakota, Michigan and Miami (Ohio). Piece of cake.
� I see you, Iowa fan, looking at Nebraska with anticipation.
� Northwestern back Venric Mark's season is likely over, thanks to leg injuries. But that doesn't mean Nebraska has seen the last of the senior. Coach Pat Fitzgerald is talking about using an available redshirt year for the second-team All-Big Ten back, who has played in only one full game this season.
� Please join me at the Omaha Press Club next Tuesday at noon for my Sports Lunch Series. My guest will be legendary radio voice Kent Pavelka. Nebraska will be between its exhibition game (Monday) and its season opener (Nov. 8), so I'm sure Pinnacle Bank Arena and the state of Husker Hoops — and football — will be among the topics. See you there.
� One more and I'm outta here: Here's to Mike Jirschele, who finally got his call from the Kansas City Royals last Friday. Jirsch was in Class AAA longer than Crash Davis. He had been in Omaha so long he could have run for mayor. He'll be missed, and good that he goes out with a Class AAA championship. That had to be a sweet phone call. About time!

Customer Ratings:
The brush dries out between uses so you need to twist it every use. One click doesn't release enough liquid to moisten the brush. I've only used 5-6 times and have tried to be sparing in the number of twists, but it's already twisted halfway up. On this basis I can't give a good review because it does seem to be poor value for money. I think it will be gone before I start to see any real results.
This is an excellent product that really helps your nails and cuticles look healthy and attractive. I've been a nail biter all my life and this product helped me to stop because when I would look at my nails and see how conditioned and nice they looked, I didn't want to ruin the neatness of them. It took some time to stop, but when you replace one bad habit with a good one; it worked! Thank you Paula's Choice for another outstanding product!
This product really works. I have been using it for nearly a year about 2 or 3 times a week. I have always had strong nails but one nail developed a ridge and it always split when just beyond the tip of my finger, left hand ring finger of course! Now my nail is growing properly and the cuticles that do get ragged from my occasional nibbling heal up very quickly. Like others say I find if you just screw the winder one or two twists that is a perfect amount and it does last months.
Put a tiny dot of the Resist Skin Revealing Body Lotion 10% AHA on your cuticles first, let it soak in, and apply the Cuticle & Nail Treatment. They work really well together.
Always have had dry hands and fingernails/cuticles but this product really did make a difference. But as far as the price goes I will probably just be getting a bottle of Castor Seed Oil and probably jojoba/almond oil and make my own.
This is a wonderful product - works far better than anything else I ever tried! Has stopped the splitting fingernail problem; makes my nails/cuticles look and feel so much improved, but it is expensive. The application is so great and easy but amount in the container doesn't last long!
It works! It absorbs quickly. It prevents cracking on fingertips as well as the things it is advertised to do. That alone puts it in a category of its own! No other product see helps this condition, which is common (and painful) in older people in winter.
On the other hand, it's pricey and contains a tiny amount of product.
Ideally, container should be bigger, and price should be lower. But then again, it works! Can't say that about any of the other (pricey) products out there.
I'm allergic to a lot of cuticle treatments so I was really excited to find this. It is pricey, but lasts for a while. I usually use it in the winter when my hands are quite dry between New England weather and fiber and paper crafts. I apply it at night before bed. It does dispense a little inconsistently (turning a few clicks sometimes only a little comes out, sometimes, a lot), but I just don't turn too quickly and give it a few seconds to see what comes out.
No fragrance whatsoever, absorbs in a flash (no need to massage it in), and probably my favorite feature is that there's no bottle to knock over. It's a quick way to pamper yourself! Even with diligent use, each pen lasts a lot longer than you might think. There is nothing like this at the drugstore that I know of. I'm working on leaving my cuticles alone and this stuff helps a lot; if you're trying to quit biting your nails this might be a helpful solution!
Finally gave this a try because I was having trouble with my thumb nail constantly splitting. I was amazed in the difference of my nails after only one application! After 2 months of using a thin application before bed, I have had outstanding improvement in nail flexibility with less ridges and splitting. Even my husband has noticed. I have had no trouble with the pen oozing or globbing too much product. I keep the pen in a glass next to bed with the applicator side down and always give it a few taps to knock out any possible air bubbles before using. Also, I only wind the pen a couple of notches for each hand (you only need a thin application). I really don't understand all the complaints about the price. First, the product REALLY works (how much money do we waste on products that DON'T work). Also the pen lasts me a couple of months - you really only need a thin application. Avoid globs by storing and applying properly to keep air bubbles out. So very very happy I finally tried this product :)
Love it, have really dry cuticles & this worked wonders. Would give a 5 star if you got more product for the price
I like this product. It's very moisturizing. The only problem I had is that the product in the pen had a large bubble in it. By the time I got the bubble out I had less than half of the product left in the pen. I called Costumer service. They were very helpful and are sending me a replacement.
We've been using Sally Hansen's version but being heavily candy fragrances it caused swelling of the skin. This is fragrance free and caused no reactions even in the most sensitive people who were allergic to even baby bath. I like to put it on last thing at night and wake up to beautifully soft cuticles.
I love my nails polished and that can be hard on my nails and cuticles. I keep this handy treatment in my purse (and yes, I trust it not to leak!) and use it whenever I get the chance. It keeps my nails moisturized and looking supple and healthy. I love that it is so easy to carry and use. Every nail polish fanatic (and even just regular people too) should have this product. It's just so convenient, easy to use, and effective. Love it!
I love how this product works, but I have two quibbles with it: too much packaging, too little content. It dispenses well through the brush tip, but if we're going to accept the environmental burden of such a lot of packaging, I think there should be more content.If you do the math, this works out to the most expensive item ounce-per-ounce of the whole line. In an email exchange with Paula's team, they explained you can't compare oranges to steak. I'm just surprised that the cuticle oil is priced like steak rather than oranges. I am sure the packaging adds a lot to the price. Has the team considered adding a dropper version of this? That being said, it works really well, and doesn't have any useless ingredients (like a lot of other cuticle oils do). It's great if you're a nail polish fan who changes polishes often, because this will help baby your cuticles.
I hate to be such a spoilsport, because I agree with the reviewers saying how well the product works: it absorbs well and is quickly effective. The problem is the price. At US$10.95 for 0.06 ounces, this works out to US$182.50 an ounce! As a comparison, the infamous Creme de la Mer moisturizing cream, costs US$140 an ounce, a price Beautypedia calls shocking. I know the packaging must add to the price, but is it really worth it? (This is one of the few Paula's Choice items that is over-packaged, which is not good for the environment either.) The ingredients are a good selection of plant oils and antioxidants, but there is nothing groundbreaking. Paula's own state-of-the art Retinol serum costs US$29.95 an ounce, less than a fifth of the cuticle cream's cost. To quote Beautypedia's La Mer review again, So why then is this product so expensive? Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. The retail price of this product is due to its non-aqueous formula as well as its special packaging. It is not fair to compare the price per ounce of this product to products from dissimilar categories. When Paula and her team make comments about a product's price being shocking, it is in reference to how that product's price and/or size compare with other (often better) products within the same category. Paula and her team made sure the price for this product is in line with what other companies are charging for the same type of product, complete with built-in brush applicator. Please contact customer care with any questions, we are happy to help.
Before buying this product I read the reviews of others saying the dispensing system was the only downside to this product. I would have to disagree - STRONGLY.When dispensing the product, a little goes a long way. The first time you dispense product it takes a lot of twists - but after that just two or three twists each nail and I got the perfect amount.The brush allows me to apply it cleanly and not have to rub it in with my fingers due to excess, like I have to with droppers. If I get this all over the pads of my fingers I have to wash my hands and then I end up removing it from my nails as well.Great, innovating packaging, PC Team!
My cuticles are very dry and require constant moisture to avoid fraying (which causes me to nibble, but I digress.) I finally purchased this during my last stock up needing a few more dollars for free shipping. It actually absorbs into your skin instead of just making your fingers greasy and softens the cuticles like nothing I've ever used. The pen is extremely convenient for occasional on the go use but, the price makes it expensive for regular use. The pen contains .06oz/1.8ml. I calculated the cost per oz and nearly choked. (That's when the rating lost a point- otherwise I would have rated it a 5) The amount of product and price of Paula's is comparable to similar products out there but, they don't work nearly as well. I'm going to think of this as almost a bargain since I buy & toss the other junk and actually use Paula's.
I've just ordered four more cuticle pens to keep in my kitchen, bath, office desk and bedroom. The product is wonderful for dry cuticles. I have one problem with the packaging: it is very difficult to remove the plastic wrapper (on all Paula's products!). There should be a pull tab of some kind so that I don't have to struggle with a scissors to get it off. Other than that, this is a very good product.
i find that this works great on my nails and cuticles. i have a job where i am in latex gloves through out the day and constantly washing my hands, due to this my hands and nails are always dry but stay healthy and strong with this. i have no problem with the packaging. my mother also has dry brittle nails due to a thyroid problem and to top it off lives in the cold north, she is now addicted to this product and uses it all the time.
I've only used this for a few days but already my cuticles look GREAT! And know that I'm writing from Minnesota, where right now it's 20 degrees outside and the air is super dry.I read the iffy reviews about package design, so before I opened it here's what I did: tap on the end of it so the air bubble goes to the top. Then twist and twist and twist until the air bubble is gone (the pen is clear so you can see when it's getting close.) After that point, one click gives me the perfect amount of product--one click per nail. No glops, no mess!My only complaint is that I was a little surprised at how little product you get. But that said, if it lasts a few months with daily use I won't complain.My favorite way to use this is to put it on my nails before I put on my winter gloves and leave the house. By the time I get to where I'm going, it's all absorbed and my nails look perfect.
This has done nothing for my cuticles and nails. The packaging is great in theory; but like a couple of others have said, you really have to twist it many times to get anything out, then a whole bunch flows. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you are not happy with the packaging of this product and found it not moisturizing enough, but will pass along your comments to Paula and her Product Development team for future consideration. You may try our Lip & Body Treatment Balm to see if this works better for you as it is a rich balm texture. We will credit you for this product. Please contact customer care with any questions or concerns.
The pen like design is indeed very convenient to carry in your purse The formula is not too sticky, but not great.if you have seriously dry cuticles like mine you will need something more hydrating than this. I use Paula's lip and body balm with a drop of glycerin. It is hard to get just the right amt of product on the brush. You keep twisting and nothing comes, then one more twist and a drop falls out of the brush. The design needs some improvement.Lisa Customer Care Response: We are sorry to hear you are not happy with the packaging of this product but will pass along your comments to Paula and her Product Development team for future consideration.
I'd give it a 5 if it weren't for the applicator. First, nothing comes out and then all of a sudden a big blob appears and runs down the tube and is wasted! PLEASE,improvement is needed!!!! Customer Care Response: We are sorry to hear you are not happy with the packaging of this product but will pass along your comments to Paula and her Product Development team for future consideration. Please contact Customer Service for further assistance for returning or exchanging this item.
My nails were ruined after a bad set of acrylics - even two months after removal, they were still paper thin and brittle. I was HUGELY surprised that using this pen transformed them in two days! I had no idea the ingredients in here would actually DO something other than provide a bit of moisture. My nails are thicker (how?!), stronger (really!) and just BETTER! I wholeheartedly recommend this product to anyone with thin, dry nails. I'm addicted to this now, and hope that it's never-never-never discontinued.

Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."

Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Does Collins show that Evangelicals have turned the corner on the scandal Noll brought to light, or does the continued resistance of the majority of Evangelicals to Collins's work (about 75% reject human evolution) show that we as a collective group still do not take the life of the mind seriously?
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
The Galápagos Islands were not a distinct "center of creation," but a workshop for evolution in which an ancestral species made it to the yet uncolonized island and underwent a massive degree of speciation to adapt to the environment of the island. This is precisely what one would expect if the species of islands had arisen by evolution.
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
BioLogos interim web editor Emily Ruppel recently traveled to Boston for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference, where she took an afternoon off from lecture-going to catch up with Doug Lauffenburger, head of the biological engineering department at MIT and a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.

Considering purchasing the Infinity 700
Hi folks. I'm a full time grad student and I purchased a Gateway netbook in August for use in class because I wanted something small and light. I knew that it was going to be a little slow, but it's much slower than I anticipated and is almost useless. I'm kicking myself because buying it ended up being $250 mistake. I had almost purchased an iPad, but ruled that out (no usb port, really Apple?). So I'm back to the drawing board. My wife and I looked at the Microsoft Surface last night, but after reading reviews I think it'd be best to stay away from that for a while. We both have android phones and I came across the Infinity 700. Initial reviews that I read seemed to really like it. But I'd like to get some user perspectives. I've been reading some on this forum and it looks like the most recent update of Jellybean addressed a lot of issues, but I'd like to hear from y'all to see what you think. So my questions are:
Did the update really address issues/problems?
Does it work reliably?
Is there a version of Office that works well? I don't mind buying an app, but I need it to be able to format docs in APA format and be able to send it to profs and keep the formatting.
Is there an app that will work with Adobe Digital Editions? I can "check out" electronic versions of my textbooks for free through the university library, but it uses Adobe Digital Editions and I don't see that in the Google Play store.
I should also mention that if I get the 700, I will also be purchasing the CORRECT (learned from others frustrations) keyboard.
Any thoughts are appreciated!

Re: Considering purchasing the Infinity 700
So as an owner of a TF700 and user of many computers, here's my spiel on tablets: they're great for lightweight content consumption. They're considerably less great for content creation. If you have another PC that is your "primary" device then it's nice to have a super-ultra portable device to take "on the go". For example, I bought the TF700 and keyboard (actually the TF201, but I exchanged it for a TF700) so that when I traveled I wouldn't have to carry a full laptop. It's great for browsing the web, checking email, watching movies on a plane, Skyping with the family, etc. I have used the keyboard and Microsoft Office OneNote on occasion to take notes when in training classes. The Android version of OneNote is free, and it can work with SkyDrive (also free) to keep your notebooks in sync with your main PC. I usually use RDP clients (PocketCloud works OK) or apps like Splashtop to connect back to my main PC at home if I need something that isn't available on Android, like a full installation of MS Office, Visual Studio, or if I just want to tinker in my basement lab while I'm traveling. That works fine.
I am using the keyboard from my TF201 with the TF700 and haven't had any issues, but if you're buying from scratch I'd get the TF700 keyboard just to be safe. The only reason I use the TF201 keyboard is because I originally bought a TF201 from Best buy, then got the TF201 keyboard on sale at Amazon, then ended up taking advantage of the return policy at Best Buy to upgrade to a TF700 due to wifi issues. Obviously they wouldn't swap the keyboard, and I wasn't interested in paying another $150 when the old one worked.
All that being said, as usable as a TF700 + TF201 keyboard + USB travel mouse + Skydrive + LTE tethering + RDP to a real PC is, there are times when I wish I had an actual PC handy. For starters, jumping through all the hoops to get everything up and going takes a few minutes, when I'd sometimes rather just turn the darn thing on. Working for prolonged periods on a 10.1" screen (even at 1920x1200) has me longing for a 13 or 15-inch display. The keyboard (at least on the TF201, the TF700 may be better) is adequate, but I'm not going to write a report or any serious documentation, or do any coding on it. I guess you could say I'm in the market for "something else".
The Surface initially had a lot of appeal to me, but the initial reviews were so-so. I think that a lot of people were expecting more of a full Windows laptop experience. Then the Surface Pro is coming out in January, and it offers more of a full Windows laptop experience with its Ultrabook internals and full x86/x64 operating system, but people think that it's too expensive. In my mind though, if I'm looking at paying $1000 for a Surface Pro, why not just go all the way and get an ultrabook with a 13.3" screen and a real keyboard?
At this point I think I'm going to wait until after Xmas to see how many Best Buy gift cards I end up with (apparently I'm super-hard to buy for), and then going to probably get a Zenbook. I'll still keep the TF700 for use around the house. In your case though, it sounds like the biggest determining factor will be the software support for your Adobe textbooks thing.

Re: Considering purchasing the Infinity 700
Thanks for both of your input. I did end up purchasing the T700 (with the 700 keyboard). So far I've been very pleased. I have a kick **** PC desktop that I built so I really just needed something mobile for taking notes and reading my digital textbooks.

Re: Considering purchasing the Infinity 700
You seem so helpful!! I have the Asus Transformer TF700T only a few weeks. I am not a tech person. Where do I find the complete user manual that is to be on this devise. I want to learn it's features. Also does anyone know if I can get "Quicktime" on my TF700T? I take alot of pictures on my Canon SX30IS and the video will play but no sound. Canon suggest Quicktime. Help!
Re: Considering purchasing the Infinity 700
I just clicked on the blue url that was copied in your post. It took me to the manual. I had incorrectly copied the url twice and had to correct it twice. If you tried during the period that occurred between my first post and my second corrected post, the url did indeed say "no file Found." Go back and retry it again, I think it will work for you now.

I did this once too. A boy I liked (a LOT) finally paid attention to me, and he was cruel. He'd make snide comments about people, and I'd laugh along with him and his cronies. Until he dumped me and then made snide comments about me- I guess I got what was coming....
isn't it funny how afterwards you only really remember the "unique" people? All those pretty (read: SAME) faces blend together in my memory until they're not really individuals any more, just a blog of people who were popular. The ones who were unique are the ones I remember vividly and many are doing great things with their lives.
Good Story!!

FastFlow is a pattern-based programming framework targeting streaming applications. It implements pipeline, farm, divide and conquer, and their composition, as well as generic streaming networks. It is specifically designed to support the development and the seamless porting of existing applications on multi-core, GPGPUs, and clusters of them. The layered template-based C++ design ensures flexibility and extendibility. Its lock-free/fence-free run-time support minimizes cache invalidation traffic and enforces the development of high-performance (high-throughput, low-latency) scalable applications. It has been proven comparable or faster than TBB, OpenMP, and Cilk on several micro-benchmarcks and real-world applications, especially when dealing with fine-grained parallelism and high-throughput applications.
Concurrency Kit provides a plethora of concurrency primitives and lock-less and lock-free data structures designed to aid in the design and implementation of high performance scalable concurrent systems. It was designed to minimize dependencies on operating system-specific interfaces, and most of the interface relies only on a strict subset of the standard library and more popular compiler extensions.
