I've never been tanning butt I want to because I like that orange color I see in everyone I'm really pale so I want to know how manny sessions I need to look orange ? So can you please help? C:
Thanks to everyone that comments



Answer
Tanning comes & go, unless you do them everyday 24/7 for the rest of your life. But in the end the only thing you'll benefit is either moles, freckles, skin tags or discolorations from sunscreens, lotions, etc. and the more you do, the more they get larger, darker & bumpier. My nephew had a membership in a tanning bed salon for a year. After it expired, he stopped, now he's as white as before he began.

Tanning, is a result for 'damaged skin' and no products can reverse you from skin cancer or damaged skin, may prevent you from pre-mature aging, but that's part of the billion dollar beauty industry.
A new study conducted by the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Dermatology has found that tanning bed exposure can be dangerous when tanners self-diagnose skin problems and use the radiation to treat skin eruptions. The study specifically found that a tanning bed user that used the radiation to treat a mild skin rash caused by an ibuprofen allergy developed a much more severe reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). When left untreated, TEN can be fatal.
Melanoma is the leading cause of death from skin disease. An estimated 76,259 new cases of skin cancer will be reported particularly among women in their 20's & 30's, and that's 6,020 more than 2011, people died from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute. Two million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the US each year, according to the EPA's Sun-Wise Program. That's more than breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer cases combine! Now however, a recently published study suggests that those people with ginger hair and fair complexions face a much higher risk of developing dead skin cancer even if they are completely protected.

I'll let Lisa & Glenna tell you about tanning beds.
Google Lisa and see what she looks like 2010.
"Plastic Week: Lisa Gastineau On The Dangers Of Tanning Beds"

She had 2-3 melanoma moles removed, one by her nose. She had nose surgery just to get her nose straighter, so she can breath again. She got those moles from a tanning bed.

In April 2005, while working out at her college gym in Rhode Island, 22-year-old Glenna Kohl detected a hard, golf ball-size lump near her groin. . . . .In high school, Glenna did have an irregular mole removed from her leg. A pathology report identified it as benign, but the surgeon tested it again. The lab had made an error: The mole was an early stage melanoma.

I've been protecting myself from the sun since age 9, but no matter, I got Discoid Lupus. Google that one. It was like someone punched my chin and it gave a purplish mark. It took 12 years for that to fade, so now I'm using a wide brim hat or umbrella for protection. Gene Simmons & Shannon both have been seen hold an umbrella during an event. They were invented before beauty products, for a reason. Google also Bullous Pemphegoid, photos, another skin disorder.

What are some prestigious brand names of men's watches?

best luxury watches brands men
 on Top 10 Luxury Watches Brands For Men
best luxury watches brands men image



Hannibal


Im shopping for a watch and i was wondering what brand name to buy. I want it to be an "impressive" brand name. Like Rolex. But Rolex is just too expensive. What famous prestigious brand names are out there. Like the Benz or Lexus of watches. If the style makes a difference then im looking for a stainless steel shiny watch thats big.

Ive seen a Charles Jourdan... I dont know if thats any good.



Answer
The following site has alot of mens watches in all price ranges. America is a brand oriented culture. Lots of people know names like Rolex, Tag Heuer, Tissot and Omega, less know of brands like IWC and Jaeger LeCoultre. I tend to buy watch brands that few people know of and I get alot of compliments on them. I've even had people with $10k watches take note and compliment watches that cost less then $1000.

If you want brand name recognition, got with Rolex, Tag Heuer, Tissot, or Omega. But browse through the site below, you should find lots of great prices on luxury watches as well as come across brands you never heard of.

Meaning of Lady Gaga's new song "Princess Die"?

luxury ladies gold watches
 on B024 Guess Crystals Gold Watch Women Ladies Watches
luxury ladies gold watches image



Mindy





Answer
It is about celebrity suicide.

"Leave the coffin open when I go
Leave my pearls and lipstick on so everybody knows
Pretty will be the photograph I leave
Laying down on famous knives so everybody sees"

When im dead and its my funeral leave the coffin open and let everybody see me, but make sure i look pretty.

"Bleach out all all the dark
Iâll swallow each peroxide shot
Someone Iâll know could love and save me from myself
Maybe Iâll just clean the shit of these fancy shoes
Iâll be a Princess Di and die with you"

I'd do anything than be in this dark spot. Thoughts of suicide are revealed here. She's going to clean off her shoes so they look pretty and she is going to Die with whoever this song is about (her boyfriend, her friends, her fans, her family, all of the above?). She will never be the same afterwards.

"I wish that I was strong
I was that I was wrong-ohhhhh
I wish that I could cope
But I took pills and left a note
ooooh- ooooh"

Suicide victims wish they were stronger and better. They don't want to live anymore, but committing makes them feel cowardly.

"I'm hungry from an anorexic heart
I've been trying to tell you how I feel
But was never very smart
I'm wrapped in silks made for Egyptian queens
I'll do it in the swimming pool
So everybody sees"

She wishes she was prettier, thinner, etc. But everyone keeps reminding her she isnt good enough. She is living a very famous life. She is going to commit suicide out in the open as a cry for help or so that everybody can notice.

"Volumes I know will love and save me from myself"

I have no idea XD Maybe all the peroxide she is using to kill herself will let her escape her tragic life.

"Princess die: I want to see her cry
Princess die-eyeee
Princess die: We want to watch her cry
Princess die-eyeee"

The media's perception. They want to watch her go down in flames.

"I wish that I could go
in my rich boyfriend's limo
Right after he proposed
with a 16 carat stone wrapped in rose gold"

She wished she would have just lived an easy life instead of being famous.

"With the Paparazzi all swarming around
In my Louis Vuiton White buttoned down"

The Paparazzi are following her around. She is dresses nicely

"Oh it's not that deep
So bob your head for another dead blonde
Who's real prince is in heaven
She just wants to sleep"

Another celebrity had a meltdown/died. It's just what the media wanted. But now she is out of the public eye/in heaven where she can relax and not have to deal with being constantly taunted by everybody.

"Will be in my own hands to do
I'll be a princess di and die with you
Applaud"

She would rather go out on her own time the way she wants to opposed to the media/something else killing her off.

I think Applaud was just her telling the audience it was over.


So basically its about celebrity suicide. Just wanting to live a normal life with or without all the luxuries. Sometimes she just wishes she would have taken the easy route.

I doubt this is the meaning but this is probably pretty close.

What percentage of childless women between 30-40 in America do you think are still single?

luxury watches for women
 on Perles de Cartier - Luxury Watch | The Life of Luxury
luxury watches for women image



Quatzequat


As in, what percent of all women this age ( who have not had any kids) are not (yet) married... Just want opinions, not looking for facts necessarily.


Answer
I usually do not answer questions based on opinions but I will make an exception. First, let tell some facts.

1. Marriage and parenthood are not necessities. They never were and never will be. They are luxuries. You pay the price one way or another. It is also the choice of the couples. Of course they never teach you this in school, in the streets, on TV, in you house of worship, and at the dinner table.

2. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being single and parentless for the rest of your life. It is still your choice and not the choice of family, culture, religion, and government. If that is what you want and makes you happy then be single and parentless.

3. It is wrong to ostracize people who are single and parentless. They simply did nothing wrong and are not breaking the law.

Now to answer your question:

I have seen a pattern of more and more women postponing marriage and parenthood. But this is from reading the newspapers and watching TV news. The reasons are they are not ready, want to have fun and be happy, and know that most males are not really worth their while. The percentage is I don not know because I have not seen any scientific poll on this.

What should a woman take into account financially when wanting to become a stay at home mother?




the Family


If a woman wants to leave work and stay home there are a lot of financial things to take into account. The woman may make a salary, but pay for eating out more, professional clothing, child care.....what else financially would a woman have to take into account when deciding on whether or not to stay home. Have you transitioned to staying home? Where do you find you actually save money because you are home? What were some of the hidden financial costs of working?


Answer
I recently went from working full-time outside of the home to staying home with our almost 3 y.o son. Like everything else in life, it has its good and bad points.

You will probably save money by eating at home and shopping smarter. Pre-SAHM, I'd never have bothered clipping coupons - who had the time? These behaviors extend to larger purchases as well (I shopped around for a great price on our new garage door opener, for example), so it can add up.

If you wore business or business casual clothes to work, then there may be some slight savings. My experience was that I actually had to buy jeans, tees and sneakers - I only owned a few things for the weekends, not enough for the daily grind.

Commuting costs may decrease, too. My husband now hops the train, and my son and I walk nearly everywhere. This had made a big savings, and if it means we don't replace our car for an extra year or two, then that's some major bucks.

I also think that thinking about your budget simply leads to spending less money. And now that there's time to make better decisions, most of us do. I don't feel deprived if I can't have that sweater, for example, because the 15 sweaters I already have are neatly laundered and stored in the right place. Less chaos, more calm - it can't be bought! :)

There are a few areas, though, that might surprise you.

* We still pay for childcare. Now that our son is nearly 3, he needs time with other kids - more than he was getting in a once-weekly playgroup or story time at the library. Part-time nursery school can be expensive, but it's worth it.

* Now that you have time to take your kid to lessons, you might want to enroll in Gymboree or swimming ... even with a smaller kid. Some things are free or cheap, but that's not always the case. (My hockey-obsessed 3 y.o. wants ice skating lessons. Cha-ching.)

* Some women have also mentioned to me that they finally have the time to take on those projects around the house - planting a garden, painting the study - but realize that they're breaking the budget taking them on. Likewise, if you're a recreational shopper, watch out! It's an easy trap, especially when you have the time and the mall has that great kids' playspace in the center.

* When your primary role is caregiver, you'll need to budget in some bucks for luxuries - a latte, a movie, a pedicure. Taking care of yourself is important, especially when you've just taken on a 24/7 kind of job.

* Lastly, and this is the big one, you'll need to figure out how to save for retirement now that you don't have an income. In addition to looking at your monthly budget to see where you can make cuts, examine your long-term financial position. If you're not saving for retirement at all, now's the time to start. And if you're saving through automatic payroll deduction, you'll need to figure out how to replace those dollars.

What are themes and symbols that are paper worthy in "Flowering Judas" written by Katherine Anne Porter?

must have luxury watches women
 on Rolex Watches The Best Innovation : Put In Style
must have luxury watches women image



Maneater


Also a quick summary of the story would also be helpful. Thanks so much =]


Answer
A young American woman, Laura has come to Mexico City in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution in order to work for the revolutionary cause, in support of a socialist regime. She is a schoolteacher and also acts as a go-between for the local revolutionary leader, Braggioni, and his adherents. Braggioni has a personal interest in the lovely but cold young woman and he pays her nightly visits, hoping to seduce her. As the story opens, Braggioni is in Lauraâs room, singing to her. It is the end of the day and Laura is tired, but she receives Braggioniâs attention politely, not wishing to offend the powerful man.

There is little action in the story. The events are mostly internal, as Braggioniâs terrible singing and bantering conversation triggers Lauraâs thoughts and emotions. Laura knows that Braggioni would like to seduce her and that she âmust resist tenaciously without appearing to resist.â She finds him grossly sensual and corrupt, but Braggioni is a local hero, embodying all of the hypocrisy that threatens the ideals of the socialist revolution. Laura longs to flee from him and from the disillusioning cynicism of the revolutionaries, but she sees no other option than to continue her commitment.

As they sit together, Braggioni flaunts his elegant clothing, telling Laura that she is more like him than she realizes and warning her that she will be as disappointed in life as he is. Laura wonders about her devotion to the cause, thinking about her duties teaching English to Indian children, attending union meetings, and delivering messages and supplies to political prisoners. Despite her disgust with Braggioniâs blatant hypocrisy, Laura has her own lapses as good socialist. The revolutionaries are politically opposed to the Catholic Church, but Laura sometimes goes to church and prays, though she is no longer faithful. She also has a secret love of luxury, favoring handmade lace, which also runs counter to socialist ideology.

Braggioni continues to sing to Laura and flirt with her. Laura has had several suitors in Mexico in addition to Braggioni. She has skillfully rebuffed the pass of a former soldier in the army of another revolutionary faction. She draws a parallel between this ârude folk-heroâ and the children she teaches, who express a surprising and unrequited affection for her.

The other suitor is a young union activist who serenades her according to the Mexican tradition. Lauraâs maid advised her to toss him a flower from the Judas tree outside her window in order to stop his singing. She does this, not realizing that this is actually a signal of encouragement. The young man continues to follow and watch her. She ignores him, but does not regret her mistake. She maintains an attitude of stoicism and negativity in all of her interactions.

Braggioni goes on to tell her about the confrontation planned for the next day in the nearby town of Morelia, where a Catholic festival for the Blessed Virgin will coincide with a celebration of labor activism by the Socialists. He predicts violence and asks her to clean and oil his weapons, which she does obediently. She returns his guns to him and, with uncharacteristic boldness, tells him to âgo kill someone in Morelia, and you will be happier.â She then reveals that a prisoner, one of Braggioniâs adherents, whom she had visited earlier that night, had committed suicide by taking sleeping pills she had brought to him the day before. Braggioni pretends indifference, but he leaves abruptly and reconciles with his wife.

After Braggioni leaves, Laura undresses and goes to bed, plagued by oppressive feelings of guilt and alienation. When she finally falls asleep she has a disturbing dream. The prisoner who committed suicide is beckoning her from the house. She says she will follow him only if she can hold his hand, but when he refuses her, calling her a murderer, she follows him anyway. He offers her flowers from the Judas tree to eat, and when she consumes them greedily he again calls her a murderer and cannibal. She awakens to the sound of her own voice crying âNo!â and is afraid to fall asleep again.

How is the Recession effecting Brazil?




Kendra Har


We are studying Brazil in Geography and all our videos are from the year 2000. It got me wondering what effect the current economic climate was having on Brazil.


Answer
Not much, Ciara.

I hope the videos are not based on the news of CNN or movies from Hollywood...

I don't know where are you from and what you learnt at elementary school, but, I know that many people around the World imagine Brazil as international news and idiot movies from Hollywood pictures my country.

Many people in Brazil have standard of life similar and many others, better than millions in Europe and USA. Brazil is not the richest nation of the World but is too much far to be one of the poor part of the World. But, many persons thinks they knows enough about Brazil to teach a class, then all they explain are stereotypes based in their own thinking as Brazil must be. They don't care about how Brazil is.

Brazilian economy is growing (4-6%/year) and inflation is about 6.1%/year. Brazilian ministry of economy expects some extra number of person will be unployed in 2009 due the international crisis. Since Europe and USA are submerse in crisis, international demand may to dimi but some bailout is given for agricultors, among others. Brazilan Central Bank was authorized to realize currency "SWAP" operations.

Brazil is a great nation with a large territory and a big GDP almost 2 trillion dollars/year. It is at level to belong the G7. Canada and Italia, to be more specific. And this put us in the 9th place, in terms of economy, behind the G7 and Spain. Medium class is strong and have an incomming about 9,000.00/year (medium), but, wages can vary only US$ 500.00/month to more than US$ 25,000.00 dollars/month for a typical person of medium class. Even people in the slums have microwave stove, TV, DVD player, etc.
Is this a poor nation?

The medium class passes the life expending the money in the shopping centers where many prices are highest than in the USA. As I told in another answer, a guy of the middle class from the EUA can buy a Ferrari F430 because it is very cheap there. I see in the movies "my 175,000 dollars Ferrari..." while the cheap price for a Ferrari in Brazil is more than 1 million dollars.

A simple marriage cerimony/party like these below, may costs more than 200,000 dollars, here. It's a luxury for the riches ones in the USA, but a goal to the brazilian high middle class families.

http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=91U16s9dPc4

Note that many prices are different in Brazil. Some things costs much less, but, some, are more expensive than in the USA, due the taxes for importing (60% over the price in the country of origins).

May I have men’s attention? Which brand is watch do men want to wear?

high end luxury watches brands
 on ... end, NINETOWNS not retreat on the balance of 100 million Dianka
high end luxury watches brands image



Justin Smi


Love my boyfriend very much. He is handsome and sexy, I want to send him a gift. Maybe a watch is his favor.


Answer
A few more additional details would help -- how old are you (and your boyfriend), what's your budget, what's his style etc?

Assuming you are a young person who cares mostly about the style, take a look at Fossil or Kenneth Cole watches -- they tend to make stylish watches for young folks that quite good looking, both digital and analog. And they also tend to be rather affordable (anywhere from $25 - $250).

In digital watches, you've Casios and Timex that make some rather interesting ones. Check out Casio's Path Finder or G-Shock line, or Timex's Iron Man line (if you're into digital that is).

If your boyfriend is into analog watches, take a look at Seiko. They make a great quality watches at a decent price. A lot of their watches are Rolex-look alikes at much cheaper prices (not cheap knockoffs, but similar styles).

Timex also has some good analog watches. Another good brand would be Victorinox, makers of the Swiss Army Knife. They have some interesting watches, as well.

If you've a higher price point, you can look at low-end Swiss watches such as Tag Heur, Raymond Weil, Tissot, or Longines. For instance, I'm in my mid twenties, and my wife recently gifted me with a gorgeous Raymond Weil Automatic for Christmas [1], since I often have to wear a suit and tie for work, and it's a very clean and dressy watch. Watches in similar styles are usually priced at around 1-2k. Those are lower end luxury watches.

If you've more to spend, you get into brands like Breitling, IWC, JLC, Patek etc. which go from 5k and upwards.

In conclusion, assuming that you're a younger couple and your boyfriend prefers "stylish" watches, I'd look at the following -- Fossil, Kenneth Cole, Victorinox, Tissot, Tag Heur, and Rolex (in increasing order of price). Good luck!

who can tell me how to recognize the replica watches by our eye?




Arthur


last week, I bought a watch from the internet, when I show the watch to my friends, they said that my watch was a replica watch, I am very confuse, and I felt that I was cheated by the seller. now, I just want to know how to judge them by our eye, if you have any information,please let me know, thank you!


Answer
Check these following aspects yourselves to a watch you going to buy:
1.The Crystal: Hardness and Reflection: A number of watch manufacturers employ a thin coating or veneer on the surface of the watch's glass crystal to reduce light reflections and its effects. This often gives the crystal a slightly blue tint viewed at most angles. If the watch you're examining is a reputable and well-known brand, you may have reason to be concerned if there are a large number of reflections from the crystal at various angles. High-end luxury watches today use a synthetic sapphire for the crystal, compared to treated glass that many cheap replicas use and a true sapphire crystal will be scratch-resistant.
2.The Case: Details and Mechanism: Authentic watches have a transparent case back that allows you to see the watch mechanism and movement. They also generally have enhancing elements such as sophisticated gears and an intricate finish on the watch movement. Fake watches, on the other hand, have no decorations and expose a very plain mechanism with little or no detail and one look at it will often expose the watch as counterfeit.
3.The Crown: Solid or Shoddy: Cheap replicas sometimes have the logo glued to the crown. Ascertain that the crown has no indication of glue or rough edges. The watch should also wind smoothly and effortlessly. Some replicas imitate the engraving on the watch crown with laser etching, but this method is rarely used on authentic watches. In addition, some watches have jewels embedded in the crown. On genuine watches this jewel is usually a sapphire or ruby while replicas normally use a glass or crystal stone that can easily be spotted by its dull appearance.
4.The Band: Pins or Screws: Watches generally have leather, rubber, ceramic, carbon fiber, or metal straps or bands, which are straightforward to replace and customize to the owner's needs or taste. Quality leather watch bands are padded or have a soft leather inner section. Metal bands, on the other hand, are harder to duplicate. The cheaper bands are made of low-grade stainless steel and are typically held together with pins instead of the screws that most genuine manufacturers use. The more expensive bands are of higher-quality steel and use screws.

Cecilia


My husband and I have many disagreement, of many things. I want to go back to work, but he demands that his mom to watch my 7 months old daughter too. I do not feel comfortable with his mom watching my baby. I would strongly love to leave my baby with my mom. But he want to make an agreement that his mom should watch her too. How can I make my husband understand that I only want to leave my baby at one place instead of going back in forth. My husband tells me that its his baby too, and that he has the right to deside who to watch our 7 month old. He don't want to leave her at a daycare. So, what should I do...
At my husbands mothers house, is a very dirty environment. His dad has his mechanic company there at their house. I mean there are tools and lots of dirty dogs that has fleas. they also keep them in the house. My mom has a clean environment house. Has no man to brag to her to make him food. On the other hand when my father in law snaps his fingers to my mother in law. she must obey. So how can my mother in law care for my child when their are dogs with fleas, lots of tools everywhere, and they have grandchildrens that has lice. I mean come on. I'm not trying to take her away from her grandmother. I'm just looking for the best interest for my daughter. My mom has no man to care for. She can watch 100%. She has no dog in or outside. neither does she has kids with lice. by all means my son does not have lice. THE FACT IS THAT MY HUSBAND FAMILY ARE LAZY AND NASTY!

Answer
From the sounds of it, your husband could have come and asked almost the exact same question: "How can I make my wife understand that I only want to leave the baby at one place rather than going back and forth...and I want that person to be my mom." Your husband is right...it IS his baby, too.

So, what you two need to decide "together" is not what either of you want...but what is best for the baby. I think many would agree that a more stable environment would be better...that regardless of where the baby stays, that she not move around more than necessary, and one caregiver would be ideal. Others though, would agree that it is better to have the lil' one get used to more than one caregiver, in case one cannot be present at all times, and so that she is more used to spending time with other people as well.

You two need to discuss whether BOTH households, your mother and his, are clean and stable. You are BOTH going to have to put aside some piece of how you'd like the lil' one to be raised...because you will both have different ideals about that. You, most obviously trust your mother the most to make the best decisions...UNDERSTAND that he likely trusts HIS mom the most to make those decisions.

You two grew up differently, and you parent differently. This is GOOD for your baby. There's not a "random" reason that people say it is best to have both parents present in a child's life. It's not about having two people present...it is about the fact that mothers and fathers have different parenthood styles, and that both are desired when it comes to raising a child. Do not discount your husband's parenting style, unless it is abusive or objectively (meaning that any reasonable person would agree) neglectful for your child. Just as your points are valid, he has valid points as well.

Also, do not discount his mother. Even if you don't like her, or doubt her ability to care for your child, remember that she RAISED the man who you chose to marry. There is value in that, unless he is a horrible man, and you married due to self confidence issues within yourself that allowed you to choose a horrible partner. It is likely, that while he has complaints about his mother, as you may have about your own (even if you have to dig), that he sees her as a very competent caretaker for his daughter. He is likely hurt by your insinuation that she would not make a responsible sitter...or that she should not share this burden of caretaking with your own mother, during the time you two have to spend away from your child.

That said, many women would feel very grateful, to not have to hire a sitter, and to have two so willing grandparents to pitch in and help out in this situation while you two set off on your journey together as parents...which can be quite costly for parents who do not have this luxury.

Maybe you just need to change the way you are looking at this...to see that this is not such a bad thing. You guys, including your daughter who I've little doubt everyone just ADORES, are very, very lucky people.

Best wishes to all of you.

What kind of human rights issues did Libya have?

Answer
I've just been watching the CNN, BBC and Sky News on that very subject. They were showing a horrifying hospital scenes where there was only one survivor, a woman who was a Nanny for the Qaddafi Household. Completely bald with unbelievable scold-burns to her face and head. Qaddafi's wife had poured boiling water on her head for refusing to beat one of the children, as ordered.

All the pro -Qaddafi staff had fled as the revolutionaries approached, leaving the wounded to simply die. 50 people dead, lying in hospital beds.

Famously, Qaddafi boasted of an all female 'Amazon' Imperial Guard, some 100 strong, and they got away as soon as they could and told reporters that they were repeatedly raped by Qaddafi, all his sons and his Generals, as perks for supporting him.

They told of people being shot out of hand during His reign for criticising Him and the camera-men went around the opulent villas and apartments where the regime lived, with gold-plated bath taps, huge private swimming pools and every luxury imaginable.

The only 'human rights that existed there were what Qaddafi decided and that was very little.

ERIKA!


i went to a tanning bed today because i want to get tan. my skin color now is slightly olive and i want to get a good bronze on my skin before summer begins. today i stood in the tanning bed for only 3 minutes because it was my first time, but over time my time will increase. how many times will i have to go to get a dark tan?

btw, im using "Unbelievably Black ProTan Tanning Lotion"



Answer
My nephew had a membership in a tanning bed salon for a year. After it expired, he stopped, now he's as white as before he began.

Tanning comes & go, unless you do them everyday 24/7 for the rest of your life. But in the end the only thing you'll benefit is either moles, freckles, skin tags or discolorations from sunscreens, lotions, etc. and the more you do, the more they get larger, darker & bumpier.

Tanning, is a result for 'damaged skin' and no products can reverse you from skin cancer or damaged skin, may prevent you from pre-mature aging, but that's part of the billion dollar beauty industry.
A new study conducted by the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Dermatology has found that tanning bed exposure can be dangerous when tanners self-diagnose skin problems and use the radiation to treat skin eruptions. The study specifically found that a tanning bed user that used the radiation to treat a mild skin rash caused by an ibuprofen allergy developed a much more severe reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). When left untreated, TEN can be fatal.
Melanoma is the leading cause of death from skin disease. An estimated 76,259 new cases of skin cancer will be reported particularly among women in their 20's & 30's, and that's 6,020 more than 2011, people died from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute. Two million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the US each year, according to the EPA's Sun-Wise Program. That's more than breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer cases combine! Now however, a recently published study suggests that those people with ginger hair and fair complexions face a much higher risk of developing dead skin cancer even if they are completely protected.

I'll let Lisa & Glenna tell you about tanning beds.
Google Lisa and see what she looks like 2010.
"Plastic Week: Lisa Gastineau On The Dangers Of Tanning Beds"

She had 2-3 melanoma moles removed, one by her nose. She had nose surgery just to get her nose straighter, so she can breath again. She got those moles from a tanning bed.

Google A Death by Suntan by age 26, Yahoo Shine 3-23-10. In April 2005, while working out at her college gym in Rhode Island, 22-year-old Glenna Kohl detected a hard, golf ball-size lump near her groin. . . . .In high school, Glenna did have an irregular mole removed from her leg. A pathology report identified it as benign, but the surgeon tested it again. The lab had made an error: The mole was an early stage melanoma.

Who cares if you have white skin, at least you will look beautiful when you get in your 50's, and girls with whiter skin will look YOUNGER looking in their 50's if you know how to preserve your skin. There's a reason why Robert Pattinson is so popular with the girls. His face has a kind of gorgeousness one sees in the faces of children, with its perfect pale skin, red lips, large eyes. It's hard to say it any other way: he's beautiful.

Watch Mirror, Mirror when the evil queen played by Julia Roberts wanted to look as fair as the princess played by Lily Collins. I came from a vacay in Ireland, and many of the people there working in the profession (luxury hotels and banks, etc.) have beautiful white complexion!

Or Google Catherine Zeta Jones - she's 42 with beautiful skin.
Watch The Duchess - Keira Knightly has flawless complexion - a natural beauty.
Taylor Swift is another starlet with beautiful skin, in her 20's.
Nicole Kidman has flawless skin or Julianne Moore, who is 7 yrs. younger than me!

If you're very tall, very skinny, and pale complexion, you're a desirable model in Asia!

I've been protecting myself from the sun since age 9, but no matter, I got Discoid Lupus. Google that one. It was like someone punched my chin and it gave a purplish mark. It took 12 years for that to fade, so now I'm using a wide brim hat or umbrella for protection. Gene Simmons & Shannon both have been seen hold an umbrella during an event. They were invented before beauty products, for a reason. Google also Bullous Pemphegoid, photos, another skin disorder.

If you've got acne or pimple scars tanning will only make them permanently discolored.

What are all the reality shows on TV since the first real world with a brief description?




j P


I need to come up with a list of all the reality tv shows that have been on tv, like real world survivor, date my mom shows like that. If possible a brief discription of the show with it.


Answer
Real World--"7 strangers picked to live in a house and have their lives taped"

Road Rules -- originally 5 strangers living in a tiny RV, driving across the country, competing in challenges

Survivor -- players competing under extreme circumstances, living off almost nothing, to "outwit, outlast, outplay" everyone else

Date My Mom -- potential daters send their moms to meet the bachelor/bachelorette, and whosever mom makes the best impression wins the date.

Room Raiders -- three daters are chosen randomly and watch while the bachelor/bachelorette searches through their rooms to find out if they would make a good match.

Beauty and the Geek -- a social experiment (produced by Ashton Kuthcer) where a "geek" (ie brainy, yet socially awkward guy) and a "beauty" (ie gorgeous, yet intellectually challenged girl) are paired up and compete in challenges to win cash. The guys' challenges are based in things the women know (fashion, social situations, entertainment) and the girls' challenges are based in things the guys know (math, science, business, building things etc).

The Bachelor/Bachelorette -- men/women live in a mansion and try to win the affection of the bachelor/ette.

Big Brother -- similar to survivor, except instead of living on a deserted island and living on almost nothing, the players live in almost luxury.

Laguna Beach -- "The Real Orange County" follows high school seniors through their final year in Laguna, their relationships, friendships, etc etc

Breaking Bonaduce -- Follows the therapy of Danny Bonaduce (of Partridge Family fame) as he struggles with alcohol, drugs, and his failing marriage.

Shooting Sizemore -- similar to Breaking Bonaduce, except with Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan fame)

Celebrity Fit Club -- Former famous people competing on teams to lose weight

Biggest Loser -- not so famous people competing on teams to lose the most weight

Flavor of Love -- Women compete for the affection of Flava Flav

I Love New York -- a former competitor from Flava Flav (quite possibly the most popular, if not the most dramatic) has her own show, where men compete for her affection

Exposed -- Two men/women go on a date with one guy/girl and are asked questions. Little do they know that a friend of the guy/girl is sitting in a van that is hooked up to lie detection software and telling him/her when they are lying.

Next -- Five men/women sit on a bus, waiting for their turn to go on a date with one guy/girl. At any time during the date, the guy/girl can say "Next" and the date is over. For every minute the date continues, the potential dater gets a dollar. At the end of a very good date, the guy/girl offers the dater two choices---either take the money they've earned up to that point, or go on a second date.

True Life -- an hour long Mtv documentary series that follows people of a particular topic (I'm in Debt, I'm a Cheerleader, I have OCD, I have Terrettes, I'm Broke, I'm Getting Married, etc etc etc)

Dancing With the Stars -- Celebrities are partnered with professional ballroom dancers and compete in different dances to become the champion

Skating with the Stars -- a less popular version of Dancing with the Stars where celebrities skated with professionals.

Bug Juice -- followed campers during a summer (silliness, cabin tension, friendships, romances etc)

The Hills -- follows Laguna Beach alum Lauren as she moves to LA, interns at Teen Vogue, and goes to Fashion Design school

Dance Life -- follows wannabe professional dancers goign on auditions, tours, rejections, in class, etc

Engaged and Underage -- 30 minute show about a young couple planning their wedding (average age of couple is around 19-20ish)

My Super Sweet 16 -- spoiled rich children planning their 16th birthday in extravagant ways

The Gauntlet/The Inferno/The Duel -- a take on road rules that puts real world and road rules alums in competition with another for obscene amounts of money

for more, i suggest going into the Google Directory under TV, they've got a whole section for reality tv.

good luck

What should a woman take into account financially when wanting to become a stay at home mother?

best luxury watches for women image



the Family


If a woman wants to leave work and stay home there are a lot of financial things to take into account. The woman may make a salary, but pay for eating out more, professional clothing, child care.....what else financially would a woman have to take into account when deciding on whether or not to stay home. Have you transitioned to staying home? Where do you find you actually save money because you are home? What were some of the hidden financial costs of working?


Answer
I recently went from working full-time outside of the home to staying home with our almost 3 y.o son. Like everything else in life, it has its good and bad points.

You will probably save money by eating at home and shopping smarter. Pre-SAHM, I'd never have bothered clipping coupons - who had the time? These behaviors extend to larger purchases as well (I shopped around for a great price on our new garage door opener, for example), so it can add up.

If you wore business or business casual clothes to work, then there may be some slight savings. My experience was that I actually had to buy jeans, tees and sneakers - I only owned a few things for the weekends, not enough for the daily grind.

Commuting costs may decrease, too. My husband now hops the train, and my son and I walk nearly everywhere. This had made a big savings, and if it means we don't replace our car for an extra year or two, then that's some major bucks.

I also think that thinking about your budget simply leads to spending less money. And now that there's time to make better decisions, most of us do. I don't feel deprived if I can't have that sweater, for example, because the 15 sweaters I already have are neatly laundered and stored in the right place. Less chaos, more calm - it can't be bought! :)

There are a few areas, though, that might surprise you.

* We still pay for childcare. Now that our son is nearly 3, he needs time with other kids - more than he was getting in a once-weekly playgroup or story time at the library. Part-time nursery school can be expensive, but it's worth it.

* Now that you have time to take your kid to lessons, you might want to enroll in Gymboree or swimming ... even with a smaller kid. Some things are free or cheap, but that's not always the case. (My hockey-obsessed 3 y.o. wants ice skating lessons. Cha-ching.)

* Some women have also mentioned to me that they finally have the time to take on those projects around the house - planting a garden, painting the study - but realize that they're breaking the budget taking them on. Likewise, if you're a recreational shopper, watch out! It's an easy trap, especially when you have the time and the mall has that great kids' playspace in the center.

* When your primary role is caregiver, you'll need to budget in some bucks for luxuries - a latte, a movie, a pedicure. Taking care of yourself is important, especially when you've just taken on a 24/7 kind of job.

* Lastly, and this is the big one, you'll need to figure out how to save for retirement now that you don't have an income. In addition to looking at your monthly budget to see where you can make cuts, examine your long-term financial position. If you're not saving for retirement at all, now's the time to start. And if you're saving through automatic payroll deduction, you'll need to figure out how to replace those dollars.

What hotels in pattaya do not question if you bring women?




mychael101


I have heard some hotels in Pattaya beach make you pay extra if you bring women or guest. I am looking to enjoy myself after a year in Iraq, so I am looking for good reasonable hotels where I can bring two women, the same time, day or night without problems.


Answer
Most of the hotels in Pattaya that are not expensive usually will allow you to bring in a guest without a charge. Many hotels that are under 1000 baht will still have air conditioning and private bathrooms.

If you intend to stay in more luxury accommodation they usually ask you to pay. They figure you can afford it and besides they don't want to alarm any of the other guests by your continually bringing "guests" back to the hotel.

Check one place out for a couple nights and if it works out for you stay longer. If not move on, lots and lots of places in Pattaya to stay at. Choose a hotel between Central Pattaya and Royal Garden Mall.

By the way, if the front desk asks for identification of your friend it is for YOUR protection! "Guests" have been known to run off with money, watches, passports, etc. of the guy or gal who brought the guest in. Checking ID's is okay!

Happy hunting.

luxury watch brands sale image






there are lots of suppliers online selling Oakley sunglasses, and i was confused where can i buy cheapest Oakley sunglasses on the basis of good quality of course


Answer
Do you want fakes or do you want real Oakleys?

Oakley, like other luxury brands (LV, Prada, Gucci, etc.) practices price control and does not allow licensed retailers to discount products. If stores discount Oakley products without express permission from Oakley corporate, these stores will lose their licenses to sell Oakley.

There are only a few licenses Oakley dealers that are allowed to put product for sale below retail price:

Oakleyvault.com (this is Oakley's discount website)
www.backcountry.com
www.steepandcheap.com (the deals cycle through- you have to keep watching the website)
www,zappos.com
www.6pm.com (this site belongs to zappos).

All other deals you see are either private sales (there is no warranty even if you have the warranty paperwork) OR fakes.

Just want pros and cons from moms who have used this brand of car seat, Alpha Omega Elite?




amb2723


just need help in picking a good car seat. i know i have asked the question all ready about brands. Just want pros and cons of this brand now. Thanks all


Answer
Not a good choice - even though Babies R Us pushes these seats hard and as a result you see them in every vehicle. UGH! the Safety1st 3-in-1/Cosco Alpha Omega/Eddie Bauer 3-in1 seats. These are all the same company - same seat, just different covers. They stink. Hard to install, b/c of narrow belt paths. Ever tried to wash a skinny cup by hand? Now imagine that skinny cup with pointy edges. That's what putting your hand through these to install them is like. AND they have too short a shell to really go to 40lbs. And they do not make good boosters. Also, most kids have to use boosters until they're at least 8 years old. Car seats expire 6 years after the date of manufacture, so no matter what they say it is NOT the last seat you'll ever need to buy. And the straps twist up all the time, and if the straps are twisted its not safe to use so you spend lots of time untwisting the straps. Worst buy for the money. There are much better ways to spend $150+.

The Britax Marathon/Boulevard/Decathalon (These 3 are the same seat, just different variances of luxury additions, with the Marathon being the cheapest base model) can be found for regular price of $269, and on sale at Albee Baby online for $209-$219. The Marathon a wide open easy to route belt path, which makes using it correctly a lot easier, as do the built in lockoffs, which mean you never again have to use a locking clip. I can get it into 4 different vehicles in under 2 minutes. Because of the way the base is made, it fits in most cars. And, it is worth the money, b/c it lasts usually twice as long as most other car seats (all car seats expire 6 years after the date of manufacture) lasting a baby till they are 5-6 years old, where most at Walmart will only last till 2-4 years old. Rear faces to 33lbs, then forward to 65lbs. and top slots 17inches tall, lasts most kids to ages 5-6 years old.Britax is having one of their semiannual sales from February 24 - March 2. You could snag a Britax seat for $200 or less including shipping!

The Evenflo Triumph Advance (not the original Triumph, make sure it says Advance) is a great seat. $150 version at Babies R Us has padding similar to Britax seats, top slots of 17", harnesses to 35lbs rear facing, and 50lbs forward facing. $120 Walmart version just has little less plush padding. Wide open belt path, easy to install, though it doesn't have built in lockoffs. The harness adjusts at the front of the car seat, you don't have to take the car seat out of the car just to raise/lower the straps. It's one of only 2 seats that does this (The Britax Boulevard is the other, I believE), and it has infinite harness adjustment so the harness always fits perfectly until its outgrown. No more tugging straps to tighten them either. You tighten and loosen the harness using knobs on the side of the seat. As a major bonus, it can be used in a recline position even in forward facing mode. Awesome for kids who still sleep in the car. I LOVE THIS SEAT! LOL My son, who is too big for every other car seat at Walmart has the same amount of room in this as the Britax Marathon.

The Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe Convertible seat is great, it is made by Britax, without all the frills. It's the same shell as a Marathon, but for less than half the price. $130 at Albee Baby online with free shipping, or at their eBay name, babysurplus. Rear faces to 33lbs, forward to 55lbs. Easy to use, fits in most cars. A small word of warning about these seats: they are now officially not making them anymore, so the date of manufacture is getting older and older, with many being delivered that are 6+ months old already. Since car seats expire 6 years after the date of manufacture, this could make a difference to you, especially since its possible your child could fit in the seat for the next 5-6 years.

These are the best you can buy that will give you the most bang for your buck. As a single parent I'm always watching the budget - I have no money to speak of, and these are what I would buy. (My son has a marathon and is soon getting a Britax Regent). They will last the longest. I only wish someone would've told me all this before I had him, I coulda saved some money for the extra seats I started out with!

All seats in the US must meet the same safety criteria to sell, so technically they all are safe, however, if its hard to install, then it won't be used correctly and that makes it unsafe. Also, they only must meet the guidelines, some seats barely pass, some exceed them. Britax exceeds the guidelines and is easy to use.


Remember these rules:
1)the BEST seat is the one that fits your child, fits your car, and will be used correctly 100% of the time. (This is why convenience features DO make a difference and ARE worth the money! If its easy to use, you're more likely to use it correctly.
2)Children should stay rear facing AS LNOG AS POSSIBLE!!!! The 20lbs/1 year rule is outdated and provides a bare minimum for turning kids forward facing. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration both recommend keeping kids rear facing as long as possible, up to the limits of their seat, preferably until at least 2 years of age. For good reason: A forward-facing child under 2 years old is 4 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured in a crash than a rear-facing child of the same age. A child's vertabrae do not fully fuse until 3-6 years old, before then, she is at great risk for internal decapitation. The spinal column can stretch up to 2 inches in a crash BUT the spinal cord can only stretch up to 1/4 inch before it snaps and baby is gone. In other countries, rear facing 2 - 3 - 4 year olds is standard, they understand that its safer. Here, we turn them as soon as we get to, seeing it as a right of passage thing or something. Ridiculous. Most convertible seats have a 30lbs rear facing limit, Cosco/Dorel/Safety1st/Eddie Bauer seats rear face to 35lbs, Britax rear faces to 33lbs.
3)Once you do turn them forward facing, they need to stay in a 5 point harness as long as possible. 4 years/40lbs is the minimum for riding in a booster, and most 4 year olds have no business using one yet. If they can't sit upright for an entire trip, they need the harness of a car seat still. And, even if they do sit properly, a 5 point harness is safer, so you want to keep them in one as long as possible. This is important to consider b/c most car seats only forward face to 40lbs. My son just turned 3, and is in the 95th% for height and weight - 40" tall and weighs 41lbs. He outgrew the 40lbs seats shortly after his 2nd birthday. It was a total waste of money. He now has a Britax Marathon, which goes to 65lbs, and will be able to fit it for some time yet. If I'd have bought it when he was born, I could have had one car seat this whole time instead of the 3 I wasted money on. They are more expensive for many reasons, this is one.


P.S. As far as the brand goes in general - I attempt to steer clear of it. There were several models of seats a few years back that had a notch cut out in the head area of the plastic shell - one case was reported of a child ending up with brain damage when her head struck it. Dorel was made aware of the problem several times and refused to acknowledge it until years later when those seats were being widely used putting a huge amount of kids in danger. Dorel has a reputation for being exceedingly profit only oriented. Is that who you want designing a seat for your child? Britax has time and again shown that their first goal is the safety of your children. And they back that up with the type of products they make.

cool luxury watches for women image



Well


I have a problem with my physical noble body. My noble built was not developing normally. I don't have Adam's apple. I don't have muscles. I don't have a low voice. I also noticed that my "balls" are small and not level. I would like to be a real noble man for my wife or she will divorce me. Problem is, I am more attracted to a man than to a woman. My colleague are starting to notice, and I get very embarrassed. I am trying to hide this from them and my family, but for how long? I do my best to act like a real noble man, but find it very difficult.

I work for an organization that spent about $2.8M into the Philippines in 2006 and a little bit more by the end of this year, by way of programs and projects in education and health care. I'm earning 6 figures, eating out, being cool, driving a luxury sports car, watching sports on your 42" TV and vacationing in Europe.



Answer
From your description of your noble physical make up, it seems that you lack the male hormones that are responsible for masculine characteristics of virility. Go see an endocrinologist.

Freddy





Answer
The Infiniti M is the closest competitor to a German car then any other Japanese Luxury car on the market. For starters the Infiniti M37 & M56 both compose more horsepower then any of its competitors in the market, making it the class leader in the segment. The M35H which is part of the M-class line up is also the worlds fastest luxury hybrid sedan. Many industry first technologies are equipped in the M-class sedan which includes, Forest Air ventilation system, Infiniti Laser guided cruise control, blind-spot-intervention system, Side-Collision Prevention etc etc. For all new 2012 vehicles, Infiniti will be the first luxury brand in the US to offer a 24 hour personal Assistant concierge service plan that literally provides you with your own personal Infiniti agent connected via Bluetooth automatically programmed into your vehicle. The new Infiniti Personal Assistant benefit is a great addition to the Infiniti Total Ownership Experience, providing true âanything, anytime, anywhereâ concierge service with the personal touch of talking to real people, not some computer data site. There is seemingly no limit what Infiniti Personal Assistant can do for you. Its simply adds to the pleasure of driving and owning an Infiniti vehicle. The M37 has a lot of rivals and many of them just as opulent and and appealing as the next. The Infiniti M37 doesn't just aim to be a luxury sports car but more so an executive one, with small touches that even though have no effect, it creates a sense of significance. From the real silver powered interior wood trims, to the Italian styled stitching all the way to the swooping steering wheel mounted dashboard to the potent and roaring 420 Horsepower engine..... its undeniably a beautiful car. Infiniti is creating pedigree for their brand which is why they are a major International brand across the globe.

2012 M37/M56 price range: $48,000 - $76,000

Muslims: What would be some useful Islamic advise while choosing ones spouse?




Cool Funda


What makes a person likeable? To reach a proper answer, let us add another question similar to it..

What makes a dress likeable?
The fitting, its comfort, its looks, style and the pleasure that we get when we wear it makes us like a particular dress. We carry our clothes upon our body or our clothes are with us on our body and they hide our physcial weakness and our body.

Allah the Wisest says :

Hunna libaasulakum wa antum lilbasunahunna.. your wives are your garments and you are their garments...

What makes a person likeable?
Let us repeat the question.

His deen, his habits, looks (pleasing looks, not glamour) way of speaking, his activities, makes a person lovable or unlovable.

Like Branded Dresses, some people prefer branded brides and grooms while some prefer rich ones. This is one extreme of choosing spouses.

The other extreme, some girls and boys delay their marriages hoping to be like a branded prospective bride or groom or wait for a branded wife or a groom.

Many people put forth this hadith as an excuse for delaying marriages :

"O Young Men! Those who can afford, let them marry......" So they say.. "we cant afford."

I asked a young man when he said, "I can't afford.."
What do you can't afford?
Luxury?
Branded watches and dresses for your wife?
Expensive holidays?
Tasty Restaurants ?
Lavish House?
Car?

It is a gross misunderstanding of hadith..

Affordable means basic amenities, but many young men disqualify themselves by applying the parameters of materialism.

The qualities that are liked by Allah are the qualities that you should look in your prospective spouse. Is this not a Very Simple aproach?

The Prophet (pbuh) said to Abdul Khair.. You have two qualities that Allah and his Messenger like.. Forbearance and Sabr..
The man asked..
Were they gifted in me or did I acquire them ?..

He replied..They were gifted in you..It is not essential to own wealth to be a generous.

Hatim Tai was not rich yet his generosity flourished. The Quraish of Makkkah were not the richest tribe of Arabia, yet they provided hospitality to the Pilgrims. In the same way bravery is not always seen in battle field. It can be expereinced in day to day life too when one confronts a house lizard or cockroaches....!

What are the benefits of marrying a person of religious inclination?

1. He/ she is in constant touch with Allah through regular salah and dhikr.
2. He/She is charitable towards the needy.. and know that charity drives away calamities, making your life safer.
3. He /She is well mannered... and every body likes a well mannered person. He is welcomed in every gathering and people like him
4. He/ She will stop you from committing evil and correct you if you err.
5. He/She will correct himself when pointed or remind mistakes or sins.
6. He/She will stop you from making unIslamic decisions by giving you Islamic inputs
7. He /She will bring up children Islamically, thus a happy old age...
8 ....... 9 ...... 10 ..... Can you please add some of your own benefits to the list.
Jazakallahu khairan!



Answer
Can i give simple and clear answer ?

The Prophet, , pointed out the decisive factors on which basis people choose a wife and guided us to what the best is in that regard, when he said: âA woman is married for four things: her wealth, her noble ancestry, her beauty and her religion. So win the religious woman; (otherwise) you will be a loser.â [Al-Bukhaari] This stresses that if we overlook the religious aspect and pursue only attractiveness, riches or noble lineage, we would lose out, indicating we did not aim high enough.

The Prophet, , even commanded us, saying: âDo not marry women for their good looks, as their beauty might destroy them; and do not marry them for their wealth as their riches might lead them to be overbearing. Marry them for their religion; and a black and unattractive maid who is religious, is better [than them both].â[Ibn Maajah

]âMarry affectionate and fertile women, as I will be proud of your great number, among the Prophets on the Day of Judgment.â[Abu Daawood and An-Nasaaâi
âChoose for your semen (i.e., children); marry suitable people [to each other] and get married to suitable partners.â[Ibn Maajah]

When the Prophet, , was asked about which woman is good, he said: âShe who pleases her husband whenever he looks at her, obeys him whenever he orders her, and does not oppose him in herself and his property with what he dislikes.â [Ahmad and An-Nasaaâi]
