OMG, love, love this powder!!! So nice and smooth feeling. I bought Shade 3 and 4 and they both look great on my skin. Will buy more. I found them on sale at Target for 50% off.

Definitley will be buying again! My skin tone is medium tan and has a yellow undertone. I find it really difficult finding a powder that has the correct undertones for my skin. This product blends into my skin perfectly. I wear it as a setting powder over my MAC foundation. I use a powder puff and press it all over and use a fan brush to dust the excess powder off my skin. (This was reccomended by a YouTube makeup artist Gossmakeupartist)
I find myself reapplying this only at the T-Zone in the middle of the day because I naturally have an oily T-Zone because I live in a very humid climate. I have the shade number 2 which suits me perfectly! The coverage is perfect - you can build up to a full coverage without looking cakey or having lines show. My only complaint is that there isnt much product in the compact. I bought it for 30$ AUD about a month ago and Im already hitting pan. Also, the packaging is cheap plastic which gets flimsy and is bulky.

I like the feel of this powder and it keep my shiny, red nose from looking like Rudolph's. It's a bit pricy for a Target brand but not unreasonable.
One complaint I do have is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to depot. I dropped it and while the powder was fine, the hinge of the compact shattered. I thought I'd pop it out and set it in an ELF compact no problem. Wrong, big problem. The pan was stuck so strongly that I ended up breaking the powder and the pan was still stuck.

I really really really like this powder. My skin tone is fair and most products for fair skin have pink undertones making me look washed out and red. This product has yellow undertones and blends into my skin perfectly. I have a bit of an acne problem so I use extra light which is probably about a shade lighter than my actual skin tone so it doesn't make my red spots look darker. The coverage is perfect- you can use as much as you need without feeling like your face is caked in makeup and making you look like a clown. Only complaint is that there isn't very much product for $30. Like I said-my skin kind of sucks so I usually have to buy a new one every 3-4 weeks...which gets expensive. However, it's the only powder I have been 100% satisfied with as far as the quality of the product goes so I suck it up. I also use it as extra concealer sometimes-as well as using a big powder brush I use a small concealer brush for under-eye circles and it blends beautifully.

This is a good powder for those who want light coverage and to look like they aren't wearing any makeup. This powder doesn't look powdery, feels nice on the skin, has pretty good lasting powder and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. It's perfect for when my skin looks generally good and just needs to be evened out a little. I really like that this powder is yellow-toned, as there are still not many powders that are truly yellow. This would by many probably be considered a setting powder - it doesn't really have much coverage (especially when some people use MAC's studio fix to set), but it holds my foundation nicely in place (on my dry skin) and doesn't tend to look caky. I have the colour 1 light fair, and it's too light for me now - it's an NC15. The light one/number 2 suits me when I'm an NC25, and there's nothing in between for when I'm NC20 :/ Still, this is a very good powder and one of the very few I have actually used up and rebought.

I LOVE this powder. I have it in set 1, 2, 3, and 4 because I love it so much and because my skin tone varies that much from natural to tanned to spray tanned. I've tried other powders but none live up to this one. I use a light dusting to set my foundation or on lazier days I use the included sponge to sweep it on. Never had any problems with the powder or packaging breaking but I also leave it at home in my makeup bag. HG powder forever!
My favorite pressed powder! Even after using it to retouch my make up during work as I get a bit shiny it still lasts me ages. A little bit is all you need as it can build up very quickly and leave you looking like your make up is caked on and also very matte. The only downside is that my compact lid has broke off so I can't close it properly but then again I have had it for ages and I carry it around with me a lot. Will be buying again.
I love this powder!! I find it's perfect on my combination skin as long as I moisturise and prime first - if not it can dry out my skin. The colour is a perfect match (I have medium/tanned skin) I use Set 5. It is lightish coverage, looks very natural and is just enough to even out my skin tone/cover up any redness. Price is great too - I've noticed it's actually come down in price since I first bought it (from $45 to $38), and I usually stock up when Target has 30% off so overall really worth it. I didn't think this was deduct-a-star worthy but the packaging as some other reviewers have mentioned, is sooo ugly and clunky I hope they upgrade it one day!

This is the only powder that sets my concealer without making my under eyes look cakey and dry. I love this powder as a setting powder, but i would not wear this powder alone due to the fact that it provides very light coverage & i do not have very good skin. I need a little more coverage than this provides. I totally recommend this product to anyone looking for a good setting powder or to those girls with perfect who just want to minimize the appearance of pores :)
While I do think this is an excellent powder, there are some negatives.
The positives- It has a lovely, soft, silky finish that applies like a dream. It doesn't make your look overly powdery and I have not found it to be cakey. I have combination/oily skin (with a very oily nose), and when I apply this to set my liquid foundation in the morning it is hours before I have to blot or touch up with powder again. The compact also comes with a mirror, which is always a plus, and has a space for a powder puff or sponge if you need it (although I prefer using brushes)
The negatives- The packaging IMO is clunky and ugly. It also breaks very easily so make sure not to drop it! The powder itself breaks into little pieces once you have significantly hit pan. I re-bought this powder three times and it broke apart each time and I am VERY careful with my makeup so it wasn't just a coincidence. My pores used to clog very easily and this powder would constantly be causing comedonal acne so I had to stop using it until my skin cleared up about a year ago. In terms of price vs. quantity, this powder costs a lot in Australia (I think about $50) and you get 11g, less than your average MAC powder (And MSFN costs $47 Aus).
The neutral- This is light coverage but does have coverage none the less. My skin is pretty clear and with this and concealer I am good to go. The colour range is pretty neutral, not too yellow or too pink. This could be a pro or con depending on your skintone. There's a pretty good range of colours.
All in all I think it's a great product in itself, and I would be happy to use it up if someone gave it to me, but because of the ugly packaging, the breakability product (which makes it so much more difficult to use) and the tendency to clog pores, I would not repurchase. A great alternative with far better packaging and a product that does not break but has almost identical benefits and claims is MAC studio careblend powder (not available in Australia yet but I order it from the American MAC) x

Parsippany resident Ann Grossi has had a number of titles: lawyer, councilwoman, Morris County freeholder. Now, she is giving up her freeholder seat to run for another position: Morris County Clerk.
With Joan Bramhall's Friday announcement that she will not run for a fourth term, three area Republicans initially indicated interest: Morristown Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll, county Freeholder Douglas R. Cabana, of Boonton, and Grossi. A fourth candidate, Jefferson Township Councilman Michael Sanchelli, also expressed interest, Morris County GOP Chairman John Sette told PolitickerNJ.
"It's a different focus than being an elected official in a legislative or policymaking capacity," Grossi said of the shift between freeholder and clerk. "I have the administrative experience to run the office efficiently. I could do a good job during elections when legal issues come up such as that with Hank Lyon, which can save the county money. My legal background would be a benefit."
Carroll said he expects to make a decision later this week, but would likely "lean strongly toward seeking reelection to the Assembly," he wrote in an email to Patch.
"I said I would consider running for the spot, because I grow somewhat weary of incessantly battering against the brick wall created by the viciously partisan majority in Trenton," Carroll said. "The idea of public service in an arena in which such rank partisanship does not prevail greatly appeals to me."
While Grossi spoke of running for re-election to the freeholder board as recently as Nov. 6, she said she has viewed the clerk's position as an ideal use of her skills for "quite some time."
"I didn't think that the the clerk was going to retire so soon," Grossi told Patch. "A few months ago, when she was asked, she was still running, so it was shocking to me that she changed her mind. It was a surprise.
"I thought maybe within the next five years she might step down and that would have been an opportunity," she continued. If I don't do it now it won't happen again for another 10 to 15 years. I'm not 20, I don't have another 10 to 15 years to wait. At different times in your life you make different decisions."
Cabana, who has been a freeholder for 16 years, said discussions have begun among Republican candidates who want to avoid opposing each other in a primary for the clerk's position, according to the Daily Record.
Grossi said several people have supported her idea to run for the clerk's job.
"They have told me I'd be great in the job, which helped me define where I'm going this year," she said.
Grossi said that serving as county clerk would allow her to work for the people, make a contribution and still be involved.
"I'm not vanishing," she said. "I still intend to be involved with the Republican committee and attend events in the town and the county."
She has high praise for the outgoing clerk.
"I think Joan has done a wonderful job at what she does," Grossi said. "A lot of what's done is automated now, and that's a credit to her."
Bramhall is more than a potential predecessor, she said.
"She broke the barrier for women in a lot of areas in Morris County," Grossi explained. "Joan had a great influence in the county and has paved the way for women in politics."
Grossi said that should she win, she will look at the mechanics of the clerk's office to determine whether any change is necessary.
"I'm not one of these people who makes change because I can make change," she said. "If something is working well, I would not change it."
Grossi said the clerk's office may be the next logical step in her work as a public servant.
"It's the county in a different way: I would not have to come to a consensus with six other people if i wanted to get things done," she said. "I would make the decisions in the best interests of the people in the course I set out on my own.
"That seems very appealing to me."
But she said she will miss serving with her colleagues on the fifth floor of the county administrative building in Morristown.
"I really like being a freeholder, the things i was doing," Grossi said. "I like the administrative part of it, working on the insurance commission (workers compensation and tort cases). I found it very fulfilling when I could use my legal background to the benefit of the county government and the people of Morris County. I like that it's a nice congenial atmosphere. Everybody treats everyone with respect."
Still, she said she is approaching the future with excitement.
"I'm a people person, and in elections, with being responsible for every document that needs to be filed in the county, that's an awesome responsibility," Grossi said. "All the archives, the historical documents... I know I would just love being there working with everybody.
"I'm taking a risk, but I would have to run for re-election as freeholder this year anyway," she said. "There's never a guarantee, though I'm pretty confident that i would be re-elected. People know me, and I think I could easily segue that into the clerk's position."

By BRIAN WOODSON
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Sometimes I have to wonder whatever became of sports journalism.
My reasons for doing this job is because it wasn't supposed to be a job. What sports fanatic wouldn't want to get paid to write about sports.
Unfortunately, sports journalism has changed in the 18 years I have been doing this. It isn't all fun and games like it used to be.
Here is what it has come to:
Lance Armstrong: Armstrong actually went to Oprah Winfrey to confess to what most of us already expected, that he was guilty of using performance enhancing drugs during his run of seven straight Tour de France championships that followed his fight with cancer.
Manti Te'o: Te'o chose to go on something called "Katie" — with Katie Couric — which I honestly had no idea existed until I was at a car dealership last week — to explain the whole episode with the fake girlfriend who later died of cancer.
It is interesting that both sports figures went to non-sports mediums to tell their stories. I guess they were expecting a sympathetic ear from both.
While the story of Te'o — who must have suffered enough in the lopsided loss in the BCS championship game to Alabama — just won't go away, Armstrong did at least help raise funds and awareness for cancer research.
The Te'o story is just plain weird.
Those were two stories that dominated the news last week.
As if that wasn't bad enough, now comes the latest:
Danica Patrick: The NASCAR driver who is a media darling for her looks and not much else, was the subject of an AP NewsBreak on Friday, which is usually meant for major news.
Of course, that isn't always the case. I remember once in Bristol when a AP NewsBreak came across alerting all the world that Mike Piazza had dyed his hair.
This news was about as relevant.
It was revealed that Patrick, who just began divorce proceedings with her husband of seven years in November, announced that she is dating Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., who just happens to be another NASCAR driver.
Patrick, whose love life has always interested — well, I am really not sure who — said she revealed the relationship so the gossip about her love life would end.
That needed a AP NewsBreak???
It gets even worse.
The Associated Press followed that news with a 21-inch story about Patrick dating Stenhouse. That was followed by 16 inches of reactions that vary about their relationship.
Neither was printed in this newspaper. Blame me for it if you want to. That is why I get paid the 'big' bucks.
Drivers were asked about this breaking news, and most seemed to care about as much as I do, but it couldn't be less. They were asked how they thought Patrick and Stenhouse would race each other on the track.
Could you imagine Dale Earnhardt being asked to comment on this subject? Think he wouldn't put his wife or girlfriend into the wall, at least before tragedy struck? He wasn't called the "The Intimidator" for nothing.
Many drivers are in Florida for the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, but instead of being asked about racing and the upcoming season, it turned into "Entertainment Tonight" and they had to try and provide serious answers to silly questions.
Or not.
My first meeting with NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray came at Bristol Motor Speedway years ago. I was assigned to do a feature on McMurray so I sat down with him in his trailer — which is like a moving house — and started asking questions, but he quickly figured something out.
He asked me, "You don't watch NASCAR, do you." Oops. I had to admit that I was not a fan, and tried to make an excuse, but it was too late. He let me finish the interview, but I could tell he was ready to throw me out.
That was embarassing, but a hard lesson was learned.
Well, McMurray certainly didn't care about this story either. He was quoted by the AP as saying, "I thought there were much more important stories to report on than someone dating someone else. That's about where I stand on that."
I agree, and hopefully so do many of our readers.
Think that is bad? It will get a lot worst this week.
It is Super Bowl week, and the hype will be unmerciful. It will be all about the "Har-Bowl" and Ray Lewis' final game and whatever other hard-hitting subjects are brought up by media — and non-media types — that will be part of media day.
By the time the game finally arrives, you will just want it to be over.
Sometimes I yearn for the old days when sports were about games and professionals like Stan Musial and Earl Weaver, and not about money and cheating and fake girlfriends and endless hype and who is dating who.
It is an insult to true sport fans, such as NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer, who was asked on Friday about the relationship between Patrick and Stenhouse, and his response was so true.
"Thanks a lot, Ricky," he said, sarcastically, according to AP. "I'm down here enjoying the sunny weather in Daytona, at my first 24-hour race, and what do I get asked? About Ricky and Danica."
I know how he feels. You probably do too.

text: As the Supreme Court begins its 2012 term Monday, two cases loom ominously large for civil rights advocates who fear that the Roberts court is itching to prematurely declare victory in the long legal war against racial discrimination. One, which the court is expected to accept for review although it hasn't done so yet, involves a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The other concerns a program at the University of Texas that allows race to be considered in admissions decisions.

VCJ's Venture Alpha 2012
Just over 10 years ago, the Internet bubble burst and LPs and VCs alike bemoaned an industry where too much money was chasing too few deals. Ten years on, the VC industry is not dead - far from it.
The VC industry in 2012 is at an exciting crossroads. The industry today is attracting perhaps unprecedented attention from the media (Peter Thiel's "20 Under 20" Thiel Fellowship and the political focus on Bain Capital, are just two examples) as well as from Hollywood ("The Social Network"). This attention, coupled with some outsized returns on social media investments (Accel's Facebook exit is one of the best in the history of the industry) and the rise to global prominence of Silicon Valley-based companies like Apple (in August becoming the world's most valuable company), has resulted in the influx of young talent, risk takers and entrepreneurs to early stage companies. Meanwhile, the Obama Administration has enacted the JOBS Act, which will go into effect next year. That legislation is designed to both bolster IPOs and help startups raise money through crowd sourcing.
These trends aside, important questions loom for VCs, and contrarians are ready to call the top of the market. With Facebook's stock price languishing, the IPO markets have chilled. And while social media has driven venture capital back into the relevance and profitability for investors, other strategies within VC, like life sciences and cleantech, haven't performed as well.
Overall, the VC space remains dynamic, with an enduring cadre of investors willing to back top VC funds. But how can they find them? And what strategies will win out? As an LP, how do you identify the right VCs early on in the game?
On Oct. 18, the editors of Venture Capital Journal are once again convening GPs and LPs for a discussion and networking event on successful strategies in the venture business. Expanding on the success of our inaugural event last year, Venture Alpha will once again be a one-of-a-kind forum for managers and investors to engage both in general discussions and in pre-arranged private meetings. VCs and LPs have a unique opportunity to participate in pre-screened 1-on-1 meetings with each other during the day, through our ExecConnect program.
The future of the venture capital industry isn't in question; it's here to stay. What is in question is who will be on the right side of the shakeout. Be there to find out, and to raise capital for the next generation of funds.
We look forward to seeing you at Venture Alpha.

Larry Bell, Contributor
I write about aerospace, environment, energy, Second Amendment policy
It may not come as surprising news to many of you that the United Nations doesn't approve of our Second Amendment. Not one bit. And they very much hope to do something about it with help from some powerful American friends. Under the guise of a proposed global "Small Arms Treaty" premised to fight "terrorism", "insurgency" and "international crime syndicates" you can be quite certain that an even more insidious threat is being targeted – our Constitutional right for law-abiding citizens to own and bear arms.
What, exactly, does the intended agreement entail?
While the terms have yet to be made public, if passed by the U.N. and ratified by our Senate, it will almost certainly force the U.S. to:
Have no doubt that this plan is very real, with strong Obama administration support. In January 2010 the U.S. joined 152 other countries in endorsing a U.N. Arms Treaty Resolution that will establish a 2012 conference to draft a blueprint for enactment. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has pledged to push for Senate ratification.
Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton has cautioned gun owners to take this initiative seriously, stating that the U.N. "is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there is no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control."
More from contributor Larry Bell
Although professing to support the Second Amendment during her presidential election bid, Hillary Clinton is not generally known as a gun rights enthusiast. She has been a long-time activist for federal firearms licensing and registration, and a vigorous opponent of state Right-to-Carry laws. As a New York senator she ranked among the National Rifle Association's worst "F"-rated gun banners who voted to support the sort of gunpoint disarmament that marked New Orleans' rogue police actions against law-abiding gun owners in the anarchistic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
President Obama's record on citizen gun rights doesn't reflect much advocacy either. Consider for example his appointment of anti-gun rights former Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels as an alternate U.S. representative to the U.N., and his choice of Andrew Traver who has worked to terminate civilian ownership of so-called "assault rifles" (another prejudicially meaningless gun term) to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Then, in a move unprecedented in American history, the Obama administration quietly banned the re-importation and sale of 850,000 collectable antique U.S.-manufactured M1 Garand and Carbine rifles that were left in South Korea following the Korean War. Developed in the 1930s, the venerable M1 Garand carried the U.S. through World War II, seeing action in every major battle.
….of all of those things that I believe would cause a shooting rebellion in the United States this ranks #1….!
These globals statists must not have their way with our constitution. Our individual rights, especially property rights are what they need to destroy to bring in whatever flavor of dictatorship they have up their sleeve.
Ask the protesters in Syria how the lack of guns is working out.
Good point.
I heard two stories on NPR in the last two days. In one, a Libyan said just about everyone in Libya is armed, and that was a key to the revolution's success. The other story was about the apparent successor regime's plans. Among their top priorities was getting guns out of the populace's hands (another was instituting sharia).
Telling, no?
ARREST….TREASON…..PRISON….are the thoughts that come to mind!
ANYONE who supports or votes for this should be arrested and put on trail for TREASON AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA….including ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS….ALL OF THEM! LIFE IN PRISON WOULDN'T BE A TERM LONG ENOUGH FOR THESE TRAITORS!
"Freedom is something that dies unless it's used." ~ Hunter S. Thompson
————– http://911essentials.com
The USA OUT of the UN and the UN OUT of the USA!
The main crux of this issue is the Senate ratifying this treaty and the chances of this happening are very thin. While it is important for us to follow this issue, we also need to realize that NO Senator from any state other than NY, NJ, or Illinois would vote on this or their constituents would tar and feather them!
I have blogged this issue many times on the Anti Liberal Zone and that, perhaps, is our best weapon, telling the populace about it.
In closing, maybe WE THE PEOPLE should be badgering our Senators to remove the UN from our shores AND remove US from the UN, NATO, SEATO, and any other foreign entanglements that George Washington warned us about. If we lose our God given rights, we are done.

NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:
Engraved on the front of the U.S. Supreme Court Building is the phrase: Equal Justice Under Law. The Supreme Court, in that very building, promoted equal justice when it recently struck down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) --- an Act which barred the spouse in a same-sex marriage from receiving federal marriage benefits such as social security survivors' benefits. Therefore, Chuck Hagel, U. S. Department of Defense Secretary, ordered states to provide same-sex couples with the federal marriage benefits they're now eligible for under federal law.
Oklahoma's Gov. Mary Fallin has scorned the idea of "equal justice under law" by decreeing that some of this state's citizens are not equal.
Fallin brought shame to Oklahoma by denying benefits to same-sex married couples who serve our country in the military, some of whom have probably risked their lives fighting for us in Iraq and Afghanistan. Specifically, Fallin ruled that a gay couple can not apply for military spouse benefits — such as housing allowance or an ID card — at any state-run National Guard facility.
When her position was questioned, Fallin took her anti-gay posture to the logical extreme by denying the processing of ALL military spouse benefits — gay or straight — at any state-run National Guard facility. In other words, she has canceled marriage.
So, if you're a gay soldier and want your spouse to be eligible for benefits, you must now travel (sometimes long distances) to one of five federally run facilities in Oklahoma, for example, Camp Gruber near Braggs.
Fallin's excuse for not recognizing same-sex couples is because Oklahoma has an anti-gay marriage law on the books. She is saying that this small state's anti-gay law trumps the ruling of the United States Supreme Court. What an arrogant, untrue statement to cover her bigotry against gay Oklahomans.
Her prejudice against Oklahoma's gay citizens is so strong that she's willing to violate a ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Makeup.Pho.to Retoque automático de retratos. Do you think you are not photogenic? Face retouch will help your usual portrait picture look like a cover photo. Remove red eye, make skin smoother, whiten teeth, remove blemishes and add a special touch to your photo with a dreamy soft focus effect.

How to retouch a portrait online in a couple of clicks?
Did you know that automatic online photo retouch is free and just a couple of clicks away from you? At Makeup.Pho.to you'll be able to enhance your portrait online as quickly and easily as you could never imagine! Just upload your face photo (from your computer or via an URL) and see an instantly enhanced portrait! The service automatically removes red eye and skin defects (pimples, wrinkles, etc.), makes the skin look matt and whitens the teeth. After automatic enhancement has been performed, meticulous users can tweak the settings (exclude some options they think unnecessary or include the additional color-improving option). In case there are several faces in a photo, all of them will be enhanced.
Virtual makeup basics: outline the eyes, remove red eye, improve skin texture, whiten the teeth
Thanks to the advanced face detection algorithm, face retouch at Makeup.Pho.to is fully automatic. So, the algorithm first finds the eyes in a photo, then scans them for the red eye effect and corrects the color of pupils if needed. Similarly, the algorithm does skin retouching: it analyzes the skin color and evens out the skin and removes imperfections and oily glare, but leaves birthmarks intact. Besides, the algorithm enhances a person's look by whitening the teeth and the whites of the eyes.
To give your skin a tanned look and enhance the portrait with soft focus effect and blur the background, there is the 'Glamour effect' option that you can check or uncheck.
How to save and share an enhanced photo
If you like your enhanced picture and want to save it, use the 'Share', 'Save to disk' or 'Save to account' buttons. It is very likely that you would want to use your improved face photo as a profile picture on social networks or dating sites. You can also use Makeup.Pho.to to retouch your photos before printing them or sharing them on your blog or site. All the more so because this online service is so fun and easy to use!

The country recently recognized the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington, D.C. About 300 miles from the nation's capital, some people recall life in segregated Cary.
Ralph Ashworth saw segregation through the lens of a business owner – he bought his drugstore and soda fountain in 1957 and still owns it today.
Jeannette Evans, Linda Evans, Herbert Bailey, Carolyn Rogers and Sallie Jones grew up in black neighborhoods of Cary and Apex.
Ralph Ashworth: In 1957, we didn't have much of a black community in Cary, but here in the segregated South, it was very bad. At that time African-Americans did not sit down and eat at our soda fountain. There were no signs or anything. It was just understood that they shouldn't do that, but they could carry everything out. African-Americans did come to Ashworth Drugstore to get their drugs.
Jeannette Evans: Cary was a one-horse town with one policeman, one stop light and all dirt roads except the main street. We really didn't have any problems, black or white, because we all knew one another. When I grew up, we couldn't sit down at the Cary lunch counter. We could go in and buy anything we wanted but we had to carry it out. Another place on Highway 54 would sell us hot dogs, but we had to go around the back and knock on the door. That place is torn down now. We had at least two grocery stores in Cary where they gave us credit.
Linda Evans: Evans Road was dirt and only a few families lived on it. I remember going to Winn Dixie for groceries, where Sorrell's is now on Harrison Avenue. Our parents would park behind the store and go into the back door. I think the store was segregated because they would come out the back. I remember a small grocery store on Highway 54 near Academy Street called Terrell's Groceries. It was owned by a white man, but James, who worked in the meat department, was black. My mother would go in there to buy meat and other things.
Herbert Bailey: Evans Road once dead-ended into Highway 54. There was a place on that corner called Stone's Barbeque, a combination barbecue restaurant and grocery store. As a kid, I'd save my money all week to buy a Tootsie pop at Stone's Barbeque.
Carolyn Rogers: I remember going to a movie once in Apex. It was segregated, so you had to go upstairs to the balcony. There was a store in Apex called John Beasley's General Store. The Beasleys welcomed the black farmers, and extended credit to them. That's the only store I can remember being allowed to go into in downtown Apex. In Cary, Terrell's Grocery Store on 54 Highway is where my parents got groceries.
Sallie Jones: We would always go to Hobby's Grocery store to buy candy. Mr. Hobby had this black guy working with him named Russ. We looked for Russ because for your nickel you may get five pieces of candy, or maybe six. Growing up, on Saturday we could take our allowance nickel to Adams Drugstore to get a cone of ice cream. We bought our staple foods at Hobby's Grocery or catch a ride into Raleigh to shop at the A&P.

Tahlequah —
Spring is on its way, and it won't be long before area residents take to the rivers and lakes to enjoy canoeing, fishing, swimming and other water sports.
Drought conditions, coupled with heavy spring rainfalls over the past two summers, have created the perfect environment for the blue-green algae blooms documented at Lake Tenkiller. These blooms pose a health risk to humans and animals and point to what could be a larger problem for the health of the lake.
According to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, is a conglomerate of microscopic organisms that live in water. The algae are usually too small to be seen but sometimes can form visible algae blooms.
Blooms can form in warm, slow-moving waters that are rich in nutrients and generally occur in the late summer or early fall.
According to Tony Clyde, limnologist and reservoir biologist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, Tenkiller has a fairly long history of nutrient data collection in the watershed, which helps identify problem areas and the conditions in which the harmful algae prosper.
Despite efforts by groups like Save the Illinois River Inc. to reduce phosphorus loading in the Illinois River and Lake Tenkiller, long-term effects of nutrient loads in the area promote the growth of blue-green algae.

In Detail
MODx is a content management system and PHP web application framework rolled into one. With the ease of a CMS and the extendibility of a framework, MODx allows you to develop professional-looking, intricate websites with its easy-to-use interface and flexible architecture. MODx provides reusable code fragments called snippets, most of which are so generic that, without any modification, they can serve multiple functionalities. The generic nature of the snippets makes it possible to get the perfect customization that is so hard in other CMS.
This book will get web developers up-and-running with MODx. With step-by-step examples and illustrative screenshots, you will be guided through installation, configuration, and customization. By the end of the book, you will have created a powerful, dynamic website by using the individual elements of MODx, without the need for programming know-how.
Starting with a walk-through of how to install MODx, you will quickly learn how to develop your site without having to use any programming language. Logical, step-by-step instructions will show you how to create your own unique site by adding and editing documents using the inbuilt TinyMCE editor. You will change the look and feel of your site by creating your own templates using HTML, CSS, and widgets. By following the example of a blog site, you will learn how to extend your templates to allow rich user interactions through comments, posts, and forms. The book teaches a few code snippets such as Ditto and Wayfinder in detail. These powerful and flexible snippets will enable you to add multiple functionalities to your site. The book will also introduce you to many more snippets that will help you build some of the commonly required web functionalities such as forums and image galleries. You will manage your users with authentication and authorization and make your site user-friendly with user groups, forums, and the use of PHx notations to embed logic in templates.
Through following this easy-to-use, step-by-step guide you will, by the end of the book, have a fully functional, feature-rich MODx site with professional-looking, dynamic web pages that are totally customizable.
A step-by-step logical guide to building a complete dynamic website using MODx
This book is an example-driven tutorial, which will take you from the installation of MODx through to configuration, customization, and deployment. Step-by-step instructions will enable you to build a fully-functional, feature-rich website quickly and without the knowledge of any programming language.
Who this book is for
This book is ideal for newcomers to MODx. Both beginners and experienced web developers will benefit from this comprehensive guide to MODx. No knowledge of PHP programming or any templating language is needed, but the more advanced chapters towards the end of the book will allow more confident developers to extend their applications even further by creating their own snippets.

Richard Parks second stint with the Penguins officially ended.
The Penguins showed little interest in bringing the veteran center back for another season, and on Tuesday, he inked a two-year deal with HC Ambri Piotta in Switzerland.
Park enjoyed two previous stints in the Swiss Elite League. He scored seven goals and added seven assists last season in 54 games with the Penguins.

2013 and earlier Lexus RX 350 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
911seeker Posts: 16Hello Chris,
I checked my emails and I guess that price was arrived at during a phone conversation. Anyways, the dealership was Lexus of Englewood, NJ.
The sales team was straight forward, very aggressive to close the deal and great customer service, they get back to you almost immediately.Geez I sound like their ad now lol, so I'm going to stop now
They do offer competitive pricing, but I suggest that you have a quote from some other dealership first or a few of them so that you can get that price and month end helps
Good Luck.
jeff011 Posts: 6Not sure if you tried at Prestige Lexus. I got mine for $1500 less than invoice from them. On top of it got an additional $1000 off as a rebate for financing through Lexus. Don't know if this offer still exists.
Tri County Lexus also offered me $1800 less than invoice but I went with Prestige because they have the car readily available with Michelin tires which I was particular about. Contact Brian there.
I contacted Lexus of Englewood also but they were not ready to commit to a price on the phone unless I put some credit authorization with them. I guess some of dealers do that to weed out non-serious buyers.
zls Posts: 4Anyone have any experience with this dealer add-on product for a new RX 350?
- if anyone has any positive/negative feelings that has purchased the protection, and
- prices paid or prices offered
Midwest dealer offered ~$1000 for 7-year but quickly lowered to $645 for 7-year.
Would love to hear any lower prices paid.
Any feedback greatly appreciated!
After dealing with the less than thrilling experience of a KIA Optima hybrid--- we finally made the correct purchase of a Lexus RX 350. Loved the car from the git-go. Great seats---comfortable as ever possible. Great styling and the ride is nothing short of tremendously smooth and quiet. New deep red with saddle leather. All the goodies except Nav. Have that on my phone and IPad. After checking everything out---the bottom line for a lease on this vehicle"probably all leases" is go with the factory backed lease. Great monthly payment---only because of $1500 dollars off down money and in our case $427.00--our monthly-deducted first monthly payment. $1925 off of-total down. Best deal possible. You can possibly do better than that-- but it would be far and few if possible at all. Go with the factory lease. Then work out your trade in. That's where you can make or break your deal. Get Kelly Blue Book fair value price and your headed to home in your new ride. Let me add one thing--- that KIA was the hardest car I ever owned to get rid of. Dealers turned their noses up and came right out and said they don't want :blush: the car. No resale-- because of low lease prices on new models.mmine was a fully loaded 2011 optima hybrid with everything and 16,500 miles. Mint condition. Silver over black leather. No one wanted it. Finally the Lexus dealer gave me Kelly Blue Top price. Happy camper you bet. Got that KIA Albatross off my back and driving a stunning Lexus RX350. Life is good.
planolexus Posts: 2What is a good price for a Lexus RX 350 in the Plano/Dallas area? Looking for RX 350 FWD with premium and navigation packages. The Park Place Lexus dealer quoted me
The msrp on the Premium model is $47,030; your discounted price is $43,352
The msrp on the Navigation model is $49,645; your discounted price is $45,767
Hello CarMan and Kyfdx,
I have been quoted the following figures in separate e-mail threads for a lease:
RX 350 AWD w/o Navi
SELL Price: $46,160 - $1,500 rebate = $44,660
Money Factor .0004
Residual $27,352
36 months, 10,000 miles
Total due at signing: $1,000
$540 / month based on their math.
I'm pretty sure the invoice for this combo is $44,019.
Is it fair for me to go back and negotiate for 12% off MSRP to get $41,500.80
AND get a money factor of .0004
AND just pay $1,000 total due at signing?
If so, my calculations using the edmunds lease calculator based on $41,500.80 is $445.75 / mo. including interest and MI 6% tax.
My second question, if I wanted to buy the vehicle at the end of the lease, will I end up paying full MSRP by the time everything is all paid off? Is there a way to make a lease into a buy still a good deal by negotiating any differently at the beginning / before signing the lease?
I am not sure how they calculated / arrived at their monthly payment, but in a different e-mail I was given .0004 for the money factor, so I took that number and ran with it when calculating my payment. Their residual value is 58%, so that is what I used. Not sure if that should be modified.
opensesame Posts: 1I have been trying hard to get dealers to give me a competitive quote on a RX350 AWD - my two local dealerships gave me almost no discount (2-3% off MSRP) and I have been expanding my search within a 300 mile radius.
I email the internet sales department and ask for their best price but some don't respond, others will commonly say the configuration I have is unavailable and try to upsell me on other things.
Then it's just crazy quotes like telling me they will beat my current best local offer by $200 when they know I am driving 6 hours to get there.
I wish I was back in California where competition actually existed.
Can someone give me some pointers?
You never ask the sales rep for a quote. Do your research, as I've explained on this forum, and then you control the conversation, by giving them your price.
Insist on never paying documentation fees.
Don't believe anything a sales rep says. This is key.
Buy on the last couple days of the month.
Don't email their internet department, instead call on the phone. Give them your price for the specific model (with options) you want.
Don't walk into dealership until they agree to your price on the phone. If they balk, call another rep or dealer.
First off I understand the problem. We only have one Lexus dealer in Buffalo. Next dealer being in Rochester. But let me add--- I just picked up my RX350 last Monday night. Factory lease term's and all incentives included. That added up to $2000 in savings. This is on a lease for 27 months. I added 12000 miles per year rather than 10000. So what was left to pay out of pocket was mostly fee's and $1,300 down money. My monthly is $427.00. For this beautiful all wheel drive loaded--except Nav."did not want" auto I feel I did really well. :shades:
pschiffe Posts: 373I'm also in the Buffalo - Niagara region and on my second RX350. Both were purchased from the Rochester dealer although the Buffalo store is about 15 minutes from home. Unless things have changed radically, the Buffalo sales folks have a very cavalier attitude although the service department is most satisfactory. Although Rochester is about 75 miles distant, they welcome sales that they would not otherwise have made and it is well worth the drive to save several thousand dollars. My 2¢.

(Born October 3, 1974) -- It's easy to wonder what Alex Ramirez would have done with 500 at-bats in the major leagues. We know what he could do with Triple-A pitching: mash it.
Ramirez grew up in Venezuela and was part of the Indians' organization. He hit .329 in 1996 for Canton-Akron, and was promoted the next year to Buffalo.
The outfielder was a good player in 1997, and a superb player here in 1998. Ramirez hit .299 with 34 homers and 103 RBIs in only 121 games.
He split 1999 between Buffalo and Cleveland, and it seemed like he was ready for a shot at full-time duty. But in 2000 he was traded to the Pirates with Enrique Wilson for Wil Cordero, and didn't do much the rest of the year.
Ramirez obviously got a nice offer at that point to play overseas, and he was off to Japan. He's been there ever since. Ramirez had 49 homers there in 2010, and he was still playing in 2012 at the age of 37.

I think, as I have thought since the start of the year, we will be in the hunt for the 8th seed. The East is weak so we will have a shot. How we play once Zajac comes back will be telling in terms of were we are at as a team.
50/50... for now. As long as they don't go out and lost 9 games in a row or something.
It's not so much getting in, it's what you do with it, if they finish 4th in the division they're going to get a **** seed and probably go home early anyway
I don't want to speak to fast, but I think they have an honest shot. It all depends on if they can break out of this funk and how they respond to Zajac coming back.
is it possible that a trade is made any time soon? or do you think we're going to stay the course until zajac
I think the roster is what it's going to be for the most part. The team is in transition, I just can't think of a major shakeup happening yet.
what do you think about sykora.. i think hes been pretty damn good. esp for his contract.
Sykora is already slowing down, but ****, the little ***** makes 650K for the year. He's not a 13 year investment hahaha. I like him, plus he made the refs look dumber than they are.

The Clinton Herald
---- — PROPHETSTOWN, Ill. (AP) — Officials in a small northern Illinois community say the ranks of their volunteer fire department have grown by more than 13 percent since a fire destroyed a section of Prophetstown in July.
Keith Crady is the fire chief for the Prophetstown department. He tells The Daily Gazette in Sterling that there are seven new volunteers since the summer blaze. That brings the agency's total number of volunteers to 59.
Crady says the new recruits won't be able to fight any fires until they're done with their training. That typically takes about six months.
Firefighters from nearly three dozen departments responded to the July 15 fire, which destroyed eight buildings. Many of them were 150 years old.
A 16-year-old and a 12-year-old are facing felony charges for the blaze.
