FASHION is really representing yourself.
I am glad they are taking a " FASHION RISK " !!! That is what real fashion is. Being a " RISK TAKER ". When I first came here I have never seen so any women in mini skirts. Bare skin in Go Girls !!! Live your Life !!!!!
- i'm afraid i don't believe in japanese style. 99.9% of people are just copying styles from magazines. don't get me wrong, sometimes the results look fabulous (can't fault their dedication) but at other times i'm absolutely dumbfounded
fashion is, after all, so ugly it has to be changed every 3 months
haven't spotted any specific trends that are going around at the moment though

Ditto with natosucks
I've been to a few fashion events catered to young women this winter and I really don't understand the appeal of wearing the exact outfit as your favorite model. I love people who follow the trends but make the outfit their own. Also as a Canuck, the denim cut offs in winter make my stomach turn. Miniskirt over tights is much classier.

Types of Pet Fish

Types of Pet Fish
Types of Pet Fish

Tropical Fish

The tropical fish are kept in temperatures of about 25°C. They tend to be more expensive to buy than cold water fish and are therefore usually kept in better aquariums (which have such equipment as aerators) and often by enthusiasts prepared to give that extra attention that ensures survival If a problem begins in the aquarium, the Tetras will be first to show signs.
Tropical fish tend generally to be less susceptible to build up of ammonia fish. and nitrites—but this could be that they tend to live in better aquariums.

Marine Fish

Marine fish are kept at
varying temperatures depending on their origin. Some marine fish are from tropical areas of the world, while others are from temperate zones and will be kept at lower temperatures. It is safest to ask the dealer for the most suitable temperature for specific fish. The seawater that the fish are kept in can be natural or synthetic. For those who live close to the ocean and want to use it, collect where the water is clear. Always use a non-toxic, non-corrosive vessel and store the water for six weeks in the dark before using. Always have a reserve of water in case of emergency. Artificial seawater mixes are available commercially – follow the instructions carefully.
Marine fish are very sensitive to nitrite and copper levels. The density of marine fish should be of the order of 1 centimeter of fish length to 10 liters of tank volume. This is much lower than for freshwater fish. The hobbyist should consider gaining aquarium experience with freshwater fish before acquiring a marine aquarium, as marine fish are very expensive and mistakes will be costly.

Strong aftershock hits north Japan

Strong aftershock hits north Japan
More problems in one of the areas hit by last night's huge earthquake in Japan.
It has caused landslides and avalanches.
News agencies report authorities are still having trouble reaching the areas affected by the quake so it is still difficult to get a true estimate of the extent of damage or the death toll.


The toll officially remains in the hundreds but some are expecting it to reach well into the thousands, judging by the damage seen in TV footage just after the quake stuck.
Infrastructure damage is reported in Tokyo with power off to millions of buildings.
There is concern now about a nuclear reactor damaged in the quake. Back up systems failed and people around the plant have been evacuated.

Junk food delicious

Junk food delicious Are there Really Any Junk Food ‘Value Meals’

If you want to eat a delicious organic Fuji apply you might have to spend around 75 cents. However, commonly value meals are provided at the cost of merely 99-cents. The cost of the food itself might be only 24-cent if general expenses are considered. If a big delicious Fuji apple cost 75 cent how is it possible to provide a whole meal at the cost of only $99 cents.
How is it possible to sell a meal for less than a dollar knowing that providing the meal carries various expenses like; ingredient, table & chairs, wages for cooks and servers, refrigeration equipment, restaurant rent, advertising and utility bills?


The real question is, how is it possible to sell wholesome food at 99 cents while equally generating a profit?
In America nearly 70 percent of the population is overweight. Other developed countries are also slowly adjusting to the trend. There are hundreds of junk food dealers like Pizza Hut, Mars, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola and Kraft, which are selling foods to attract customers. Humans are genetically programmed to consume delicious food and junk food has captured this unique feature of having a nice flavouring taste.
Humans are genetically programmed to store fat. In the past, our predecessors lived under periods where they were exposed to famine. Those people who had the best ability to store fat were those who survived. This is why our genes have this inherited ability to save food when there is a surplus of food available. This is why junk food is a problem to society. It is cheap and available in quantities. Moreover, carbohydrates of junk food are easily changed and stored as fat. This is why an increasing number of people are obese and children are now suffering from Type II Diabetes.
In other words, those commercial deals entitled value meal are causing damage to our body. They are also triggering premature death, not directly from the food but from pathologies that develop with time after consuming junk food.
Additionally, food dealers have found that people are effortlessly addicted to sugars as well as simple carbohydrates. So marketers find simple but tasty food solutions for customer. They are not necessarily healthy but rather tasty. This is why there is an increasing volume of junk food on the market.
In fact, the “value Meal’s” that is being sold by various food dealers do, in reality, poison our body. Companies claim that they are providing great affordable products; however, what’s really in the food is another question

NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller problems

NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller problems
Put my computer together, and everything seems to work great besides the fact I can't activate windows (won't accept any keys, even legit keys and the one I entered while installing?) and my onboard network card won't work. I've got a Chaintech Nforce 4 Ultra w/ the NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller. I have cable internet, and another computer, so right now I have the cable modem connected to the computer via usb adapter and I have the network card connected to the hub. Also, it seems I can't connect the cable modem via usb cable and use a usb adapter for ethernet at thes same time.

Basically, the computer says everything is ok. Device manager says it is working, i've got the newest nforce 4 drivers from nvidia, and it says the device is connected. But if I unplug it from the hub it isn't connected.
I tried connecting the usb adapter to the hub instead of the cable modem, and the network works 100%, but then if I connect the nvidia controller to the cable modem, it still doesn't work. So something is wrong with the onboard lan. Anybody ever hear of this problem? I think there are a couple people on the internet I have found with the same problem, but I can't seem to find any solutions.
