i needa good canon slr with AF and manual focus for around 150....also a good zoom lens to go with it.....ive seen a few in stores like target and walmart...but they seem a little expensive, is this true or am i just craazy.. so back to my main point any help is welcomed
I picked up a Canon T-80 for 149.00 on E-bay. It is the first AF Canon made and fun to play with. The AF is a little slow and AF lenses are extremely limited. (only 3 different ones) but a very well built camera none the less. I have read a little on the lower priced Canon's and found the Tii to be the best one. But I believe you'll be around 200.
Last weekend, I picked up (from our local "Camera House" a franchised Australia-wide chain)a Canon EOS 630 (A$170), a dedicated Speedlight 240EZ (A$150), and an "Ultrasonic" EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 zoom lens. The camera came with a 28-70mm EF zoom and an original carry case and strap complete: all in superb condition. The salesman even threw in a new 2CR5. and 4 AA batteries to power the camera and flash.
Needless to say, I've been burning some film all weekend! Everything appears to be functioning perfectly, but the first rolls have yert to come back from the processor.
If you are looking for new, have you tried adorama and B&H?

Just 2 weeks to the day before its debut, the F30 has shed more of its camouflage, revealing the lower front bumper and sideskirts.
If the F20 1 series is any indication, it's possible we could be looking at the F30 Sport Line model. As pictured below, the F20 Sport Line also features a very similar design on its bumper inlets, with horizontal bars running from the fog lights.
Like the F20, the 2012 F30 3 series is expected to be available in different 'lines' – possibly a Sport Line, Modern Line, and Luxury Line.
For F30 debut info, including engine lineup and sales/production schedule see – http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=592042
We last spied the F30 hybrid back in February for the first time out in heavy camouflage. It has now shed its heavy camouflage and taken to the Nurburgring for track testing. One can tell this is a hybrid version by the typical "Rescue" stickers on its doors and rear bumper (which is always present BMW's hybrid test vehicles).
The F30 3-series will be the first 3-series hybrid from BMW and will adopt much of the technology from the upcoming hybrid F10 5-series which is scheduled to debut this winter. The F30 hybrid will be released some time after the diesel and petrol F30 models are released next year.
Despite the myriad of F30 3 series sedan test mule spy photos we've posted thus far, there has yet to be a direct F30 versus E90 3 series spotting, until now. Although it's only one view for now, it gives us the best idea yet of how the new 2012 3 series F30 sedan will compare to the outgoing E90 3 series with respect to size, proportions, rear styling, and stance. Thanks to F30post member CSL-Fanatik.
Based on shape, the F30 appears more evolutionary than revolutionary a design, unlike the current F10 5 series which threw the E60 design language out the window in favor of a wholly new design.
The F30 and E90 seem similar, which should assuage the fears of 3 series fans who cringe at … CONTINUED
We bring you more spy photos of the 2012 3 series sedan (F30), in black and space gray, as BMW finishes the final evaluation phase testing on the next generation 3 series sedan.
Although the camouflage tape remains on these FEP level prototypes, we've already recently had a great uncovered look at the production F30 front and rear [see these photos if you've been under a rock] in a recent spotting at an F30 official photo shoot. But, these photos continue to give us views at the F30′s overall size (expected to be just slightly larger than the E90) and its attractive proportions and stance. The black F30 test car also shows a new wheel style yet to be seen on an F30 prototype.
Signs are pointing to … CONTINUED
Taking a page out of their multi-lines strategy for the F20 1-series hatchback (which has the Sport and Urban Lines), the F30 and F32 3 series will also be available in multiple "lines" options.
The 3 lines expected for the next gen 3 series sedan (and perhaps "4 series coupe" if the name change comes to fruition) will be a Sport Line, Modern Line, and Luxury Line (actual final names may differ, we've also heard Sport Line, Urban Line and Deluxe Line as the possible names).
These optional lines will feature differentiated preset looks via unique trimmings and equipment. Besides the usual options and packages BMWs can be configured with, this allows BMW to offer even more individuality and uniqueness between the same models. These lines should not … CONTINUED

The maturing of fusion centers

In years past, "fusion" maybe didn't mean much to law enforcement. It was more of a nuclear physics term, a word used to describe technology, or a maybe a name for a dance club or the music played inside. "Fusion" didn't start working its way into the law enforcement vernacular until agencies sought to fight terrorism by closing gaps in information sharing post 9/11. Today, every state has a fusion center, as well as 22 major urban areas.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, "Fusion centers serve as focal points within the state and local environment for the receipt, analysis, gathering and sharing of threat-related information between federal government and state, local, tribal, territorial and private sector partners."
Less than two years ago the National Fusion Center Association (NFCA) was created to give fusion centers a unified voice, which has been heard from its seat on the Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council and weighs in on the new terrorism alert system. Despite these accomplishments, NFCA Executive Director W. Ross Ashley III and other officers of the nonprofit organization often find they need to explain what a fusion center is, not only to the public, but also to fusion center customers.
"We are still working on reaching out to public agencies in the emergency management community and letting them know the value we can provide to them." As a former career intelligence officer, Ashley knows it can take many conversations between an intelligence officer and an operator before they develop a relationship in which the intelligence officer knows what the operator needs, and the operator knows what the intelligence officer can give him.
He points out that moving intelligence information into the public safety arena is still relatively new, "We still have a lot of work to do." Often in a negative context, Ashley hears people say, "If you've seen one fusion center, you've seen one fusion center." NFCA embraces that notion. Ashley says a fusion center in Montana should and does look different than a fusion center in Virginia. Each has different constituency groups with different and varying needs.
An all-crimes approach
One constant among fusion centers is that while they were set up to fight terrorism, they've also evolved to fight all crime. "There's not a magical piece of terrorism information out there that says 'this is a piece of terrorist information,'" says Ashley. He quotes Mark Marshall, International Association of Chiefs of Police president and Smithfield (Va.) Police Department chief, who said years ago that terrorism information and public safety exist inside of "chump crimes."
A report by RTI International and published by the Institute for Homeland Security Solutions found more than one in five terrorist plots were uncovered during investigations into seemingly unrelated crimes like robberies, arson or parole violations, and encouraged training to ensure that ordinary crimes possibly connected to terrorism are recognized and properly investigated.
The report also said more than 80 percent of foiled terrorist plots between 1999 and 2009 resulted from observations by citizens or law enforcement officials, or from law enforcement investigations.
The Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative and "If You See Something, Say Something" Campaign, or S4, are in line with this research. DHS's S4 embraces the eyes and ears of the public as the nation's real first observers, while the Bureau of Justice Assistance's support for nationwide implementation of the SAR process embraces the fact that much of the information will come from state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement. Both are used by fusion centers.
Protecting privacy
In April, DHS announced that all operational fusion centers received letters from its Chief Privacy Officer stating policies have been determined to be at least as comprehensive as the Information Sharing Environment (ISE) Privacy Guidelines — a milestone for fusion centers.

North Dakota Gearing up for 'Super Tuesday'GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Nine states including North Dakota will hold primaries and caucuses on Tuesday to decide the who they want for Republican presidential nominee.
By: David Schwab, WDAZ
GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Nine states including North Dakota will hold primaries and caucuses on Tuesday to decide the who they want for Republican presidential nominee.
This could be the deciding day for the presidential nominee for the Republican Party.
UND Political Science professors say it has been a strange Republican presidential campaign because there have been so many different front-runners, but that could change on Tuesday.
Voters in nine states including North Dakota will go to the polls to show their support for their favorite candidates. Because so many states are involved, it's known as Super Tuesday.
"The idea is to have primaries and caucuses in various parts of the country to create a better representation of the national opinion," UND Political Science professor Mark Jendrysik said.
Jendrysik says recent visits by Republican candidates show the state's caucus is important. But he considers the more populated states like Ohio, Georgia and Oklahoma are Tuesday's biggest players.
Jendrysik says if Mitt Romney wins those states, he would likely be the GOP nominee. But he says anything can happen.
"If Senator Santorum wins Ohio, and Tennessee, and speaker Gingrich wins Georgia then all bets are off because it still shows that they are still viable candidates," Jendrysik said.
Because of North Dakota's small population and track record for voting Republican, candidates are not expected to spend a lot of time and money here. And North Dakota delegates going to the Republican National Convention are not bound to vote for certain candidate based on Tuesday's outcome.
So, best guess on who will be the winner in North Dakota? Professor Robert Wood has his money on Romney.
"The practicality of North Dakota voters will win out and they will say to themselves 'which one of these candidate will go up strongly against Obama in the fall?' That leads me to favor Romney," Wood said.
The winners should be announced by 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Voting in Grand Forks will take place at the Ramada Inn on North 43rd St.
To see a full list of all voting locations state-wide, visit www.ndgop.org/caucus and don't forget your photo ID. Polls open 5:30 at all locations across the state and they close at 8:00.

Lexington Christian pitcher/outfielder Lincoln Henzman is considered the top baseball prospect in the state of Kentucky in the Class of 2014.
And the University of Louisville is making a major pitch for his services.
The 6-foot-2, 185-pound right-hander recently took a peek at the renovations on the stadium at U of L and said the Cardinals are recruiting him hard along with "pretty much the whole" Southeastern Conference.
Henzman is ranked as the No. 45 right-handed pitcher in the country and No. 145 overall in the '14 class by Perfect Game.
"I don't think I will be ready to make any decisions soon," Henzman said. "But I have a lot of schools after me and Louisville is one of them.
"It's all pretty cool."
Henzman said a close friend of his is Tates Creek's Devin Hairston, who is a '14 prospect and has already committed to Kentucky. But that likely won't have any impact on his decision.
"I don't think that much of it," Hairston said. "(UK) is not on me all of that much and Louisville is. I really like the Louisville staff.
I was up there a few weeks ago and went to Churchill Downs. (Jim Patterson Stadium) is right there, so I went to look at it. It looks nice (the expansion)."
Henzman has a fast ball that has hit 92 mph but he said his best pitch is his change up.

I read an article a few days ago called 10 baby products to keep baby safe. It listed '10 healthy baby things you should own.' Interestingly enough, the top three products on the list were made by us (the Naturepedic Quilted Organic Cotton Deluxe Crib Mattress, the Naturepedic Organic Cotton Contoured Changing Pad, and our Naturepedic Waterproof Flat Crib Pad), but there were several other great products as well: Organic baby food and infant formula, a PVC/vinyl and phthalates-free bib, a very sweet little teddy bear, and more. Check them out here.
By the way, the Naturepedic products featured there are not the only ones we offer. We carry other toddler and crib mattress styles, mattresses for cradles, bassinets – just about every type of mattress or pad you might need. And we offer organic bedding. To see all our products, check the Naturepedic website.

Interview by Taylor Ellis
(Poets&Quants) -- Ask any of the founders behind Harvard Business School's most successful startup -- from clothing swap service thredUP to website optimizer CloudFlare -- and they'll all point to a single key to getting a business off the ground: Tom Eisenmann, Harvard's veteran entrepreneurship professor, whose legendary Launching Technology Ventures course has helped legions of budding entrepreneurs find their focus and bring their ideas to fruition. Eisenmann co-chairs HBS' Rock Center for Entrepreneurship, the campus' nucleus for new ventures, and leads trips to Silicon Valley and New York for students eager to experience America's innovation epicenters firsthand.
While Eisenmann looks the part of the tweed-jacketed, Ivory Tower professor, his knowledge of cutting-edge startup practices has won him a dedicated following that extends far beyond academia. But in the classroom, Eisenmann's genuine interest in his students sets him apart. From nudging them in the right direction when their ideas are out of whack to slipping business cards to those who couldn't get in his classes, Eisenmann is known for his open door and sage advice. In an interview with Poets&Quants, he shares his insights on entrepreneurial MBAs' most common mistakes, the Steve Jobs effect and the worst idea he has ever heard.
Poets&Quants: What are the most common misconceptions your students have about launching startups?
Tom Eisenmann: I think we can talk in class about how hard it is to be an entrepreneur and the ambiguity of it all, but it's hard for them to understand. In most jobs, somebody gives you work. But if you're an entrepreneur, you must decide what's going to happen or nothing will happen. It's this notion that there's total ambiguity, and it's all up to you.
I think they also underestimate the emotional ups and downs and the amount of time they're going to spend selling. Very few MBA programs, ours included, do a good job of teaching sales. And in entrepreneurship you are constantly selling to a new employee, investors, customers, and partners. But we don't teach it very well, and people aren't drawn to it. So when students are about to launch, they don't realize how much selling they're going to do and how much they are going to have to put themselves in front of people over and over again. In any kind of sales, there's a lot of rejection, so there's a lot of emotion that comes with being told 'no' nine times out of 10.
We can tell students what the failure odds are, but it's one thing for people to know the stats, and it's another to actually feel it's going to be you. A lot of people think they will be that one person to beat the odds, and I guess that's good to have that confidence. Basically, we need people to be a little delusional.
What are the most common mistakes that MBAs make when launching startups?
A lot of what we do in the classroom is teaching students to take an idea, turn it into a business model, break it into pieces, and figure out how to evaluate it. But an awful lot of entrepreneurs don't do that, and they rush into their vision.
There are also a lot of young entrepreneurs who don't want to expose their idea until it's perfect. Or they fail because they're too headstrong, and they keep pushing the idea when the whole world is saying no. Other students flip around too fast from idea to idea, and some never quite quit their day job because they don't have any confidence in their idea. So there's a zone between being headstrong and lacking resolve that students have to live in.
To what extent do you think you can teach entrepreneurship?
People who study entrepreneurship debate this endlessly, but I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing if I didn't think it could be taught. We can definitely make people better at it.
There are a lot of misconceptions about entrepreneurs, when really they're just people with a lot of very different personalities. And so the notion that an entrepreneur is an avid risk seeker is not true at all. Some of the greatest entrepreneurs are great at shifting risk to other people.
Do you think there are any entrepreneurial skills that you can't teach?
The Walter Isaacson biography of Steve Jobs talks about Jobs creating a reality distortion field. That idea has been around since the 80s from Star Trek. It means that Jobs was so mesmerizing and charismatic when he talked about his ideas that anyone he spoke to would just fall under his spell. They would become so captivated by the idea that they would want to follow him and would want to help him succeed. His original Macintosh teams put in 90 to 100 hours per week for the span of a couple of years.
Some of our finest student entrepreneurs have that reality distortion field going, but I don't know if I can teach that. I can really just show it, put a camera on it, and point it out to students.
Do you ever try to talk your students out of ideas?
I view my responsibility in the MBA program as mostly to teach them. And if I think they're going to learn something from working on a bad idea for a little while, I'm okay with that because a lot of ideas I think are bad can pivot into something very, very good. Entrepreneurship is all about failure, so there's a great deal they can learn from discovering why a bad idea is a bad idea.
I'm not too heavy handed in terms of steering people away from ideas. If I think something is just silly or has some obvious flaws, I will intervene. The place where I weigh in is when they are about to come out and launch their startups. At that point, I make them promise me that they will set a deadline for themselves where I check in with them and ask if they've made progress and hit those milestones.
What is the worst idea you've heard from a student?
In the 2009 graduating class, James Reinhart started thredUP. But the original idea was to have 25-year-old hipster males swap shirts by putting one in a bag and sending it. I told him, 'James, really, maybe there's 10,000 people on the planet who want to do that.' But in the process of developing that bad idea, he quickly learned that families of small children have an amazing need to swap clothing. And that eventually exploded in a good way. He has raised $20 to $30 million from top firms. So sometimes I can see it. Sometimes I can't.
As entrepreneurship continues to change and evolve, what skills will students need to develop?
We talked about the sales thing a couple of times. It's always been in entrepreneurship, and we've never done a great job in teaching it.
I also think that in Silicon Valley people have a really refined sense of product, and a great entrepreneur is someone who recognizes a great product. So I would say today's students need to understand design thinking and acquire a designer's sensibility to understand a great product.

224 Grand Ave, S San Francisco, CA | Directions 9408037.655069 -122.409110
Amazing service and excellent food – We held our wedding rehearsal dinner at Buon Gustos. We called about a month and a half before to reserve and there was no problem holding the spot. The manager (or head waiter, I forget) helped us select a choice of appetizers and entrees for guests to choose from, along with tiramisu and coffee for dessert. Our party had 30 people and we all fit comfortably into their back room. While taking orders, the waiters made sure to check on special requests for a vegetarian and 2 children. The veggie got a range of meat-free dishes to choose from while the children picked spaghetti and meatballs for half price. I want to say that the parents were very conscious of asking for changes on the menu, but the staff didnt bat an eye. Water glasses and wine carafes were always full. Every one of the staff were friendly, helpful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy making our party a success. As for the food, I was really impressed. So impressed, we went back with my parents-in-laws 2 DAYS later (after the wedding) for our last meal before the honeymoon. What grabbed my attention first was an appetizer of simple tagliatelle with tomato and mushroom sauce. The homemade pasta itself was thin, delicate, and tender and the sauce jumped out at you with a full-flavored, vibrant taste. This is the dish I had as an entree on the second visit. Everyone was impressed. Next, the seafood entree choice of salmon had a similar but chunkier sauce. The house red wine served with dinner paired perfectly with the strong flavors of the food, strong enough to stand up to the acidity, but not harsh or overly tannic. Lovely slices of tiramisu and shots of marsala ended the dinner on an elegant and sweet end. What I didnt know until a couple nights later is that Buon Gustos also makes an excellent minestrone with great depth of flavor unlike every other bland version I have tried. Definitely a quality place.
Good food – Buon Gustos is a great restaurant in SSF. I had the Pasta with prawns, mushrooms and peas. My husband had the Veal Parmigian, excelent. We used to go to this restaurant over 10 years ago and it is stil just as friendly and delicious. We like the casual feel it has also. Highly recomended!
THE LOCALS KNOW – I don't live in So.SF, but I work and spend a lot of time there. Grand Ave. area can have a nice small-town feel and if you go to some of their restaurants multiple times the staff remember and appreciate you, and Buon Gusto is that type of place. Buon Gusto is a bustling old style Italian restaurant that is consistently good. Menu, albeit fairly standard, has solid veal and chicken dishes, several pastas including popular frutti di mare (sp?). Complimentary after-dinner shot of marsala is a nice touch. Meals are comforting and satisfying. Place is as elegant or casual as you want to make it. There are a lot of things I like about "downtown" SSF and Buon Gusto is one of them.
Amazing Italian Restuarant in South San Francisco – I highly recommend this place if you are into authentic Italian food at it's best. Great Ambience, very knowlegable staff and an incredible value for everything on the menu. Everything is homeade and prepared to perfection. The Tirmasu is a must have for Dessert!!!! Go now, don't wait you are in for a real treat!!!
Secret in South City! – Great meal at a great price. Homemade pasta made from scratch, and a killer white sauce to go with it. I'm definitely coming back. Be prepared... meter parking from 9am - 6pm. However, it beats trying to find parking in the City.
Delicious! – My boyfriend and I have gone to Buon Gusto adn several occassions and we are always satisfied with the food and service. The pasta with smoked salmon (a special) and the spaghetti eggplant are to die for. The service is great and we especially love the complimentry taste of marsala wine after dinner.
GREAT PEPPER STEAK, GREAT VEAL DISHES – you are never rushed. service is their moto. ask and and if possible you shall receive. good wine list.

On one hand, Trapinch possesses impressive Attack and an excellent ability in Arena Trap; on the other hand, its Speed is abysmal and it's unable to take hits at all. Given all this, there's really only one way for Trapinch to shine: inside of Trick Room. Under its effects, Trapinch essentially becomes Diglett on steroids, trapping foes and easily KOing with its powerful attacks. Despite a fundamentally shallow movepool, this humble little termite can be a real force to be reckoned with under the right conditions, and makes an excellent offensive addition to any Trick Room team.
The only way to use Trapinch effectively is with the effects of Trick Room in play. The vital tools in Trapinch's arsenal are Earthquake, Crunch, and Quick Attack, giving it a strong STAB, a way to deal with Levitating Ghosts, and an answer to opposing priority, respectively. With the given moves and stat spread, Trapinch has a few key advantages over its rival Ground-type Trick Room sweeper, Cubone: the ability to keep opponents from switching with Arena Trap, a lower minimum Speed stat, allowing it to outspeed everything but Munchlax and tie with minimum-Speed Slowpoke, and access to a priority attack, making it harder to revenge-kill when Trick Room has expired.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Substitute is useful as an added buffer to extend Trapinch's sweep beyond the duration of Trick Room, but it can be difficult to set up since Arena Trap prevents the switches that would normally be Trapinch's opening to do so. Your only hope of getting a Substitute up is dependent upon your opponent using a non-attacking move (such as Protect, which your opponents can and will use to stall out your Trick Room turns if they have it available). Flail is an option that can be run on sets that don't use Life Orb, but it is illegal with Quick Attack, which you'll almost always want instead.
Choice Band was not mentioned, but it shows some promise, since Arena Trap negates the need to predict switches. A Banded Trapinch can switch in on Choice-locked Electric-type attacks with impunity, and the Attack boost also makes Quick Attack that much more potent; it also makes Trapinch much more vulnerable to Gastly and Mantyke switch-ins, however, who will use the opening to set up a sweep and start pummeling Trapinch.
Checks and Counters
The most significant threat to Trapinch's sweep is strong, super effective priority. Carvahna is particularly scary, packing one of the most powerful Aqua Jets in Little Cup, capable of OHKOing Trapinch. Totodile will also OHKO Trapinch, even with an unboosted Aqua Jet. Squirtle can tank Trapinch's hits and 2HKO with Aqua Jet easily. Snover's Ice Shard will fall just short of the OHKO, but Life Orb recoil from Quick Attack + Bug Bite or Rock Slide will ensure Trapinch's demise. Croagunk, Stunky, and Houndour, while weak to Earthquake, can easily pick off a weakened Trapinch with Sucker Punch outside of Trick Room. If Trapinch is ever going up against any of these Pokemon, it needs to have them in KO range of its Quick Attack while in Trick Room if it wants to come out on top.
Other threats that Trapinch will have problems with are bulky Pokemon that it can't hit super effectively, namely Gligar and Bronzor. Even non-defensive Gligar aren't bothered by any of Trapinch's moves, except for Bug Bite, which only provides an annoyance to variants packing Oran Berry. In return, Gligar can easily wipe out Trapinch with Aqua Tail. Bronzor can be handled a bit more easily with Crunch and Bug Bite, but it never goes down easily and can usually deal some crippling damage if it packs offensive moves.
Inside of Trick Room, Trapinch has some speed issues with a few key foes. Munchlax is a pretty serious threat; any variants that run a Speed-hindering nature will Speed tie with Trapinch, and said Munchlax with 0 Speed IVs will always outspeed Trapinch in Trick Room and can land a solid 2HKO with Return against a fully healthy Trapinch. Minimum Speed Slowpoke will also Speed tie with Trapinch, and can threaten it with STAB Surf or Aqua Tail. The only other Pokemon slow enough to Speed tie is minimum Speed Bonsly; though rarely seen, it still poses a threat with Sucker Punch and Explosion.

Does not cake up like similar items making the same claims. Used to use john varvatos line but after discontinuation of product I was left to find another. This works so much better. Love it!
I was really excited to try this when I got this in my box because I have a very oily T-zone especially when it gets hotter outside. It's great if you're only wearing your make up for a few hours. The all day thing didn't work for me. I got oily. I would recommend a stronger product which I have yet to find!
I get oily in my T-Zone and have had a hard time finding anything to control the shine throughout the day...until I used this product. Absolutely love it!!! Must have product for sure.
I had high hope for this product for crazy hot, humid summer days. I have been disappointed. The gel comes out crumbly and falls apart. It is then hard to apply and feels like it all just crumbles off of my skin. I don't notice it taking care of too much shine either. :(
I liked this stuff - very easy to use and lightweight. It just was not strong enough for my super oily skin. I used one bottle (which lasted forever) but will ultimately stick with the mattifying product that my dermatologist recommended - I just wish Birchbox sold it!
great at contoling oil throughout the day. I used to have such oily skin by mid morning but this keeps it at bay
While this product does have a gelatinous texture, it goes on smoothly and does what it claims. There are some other similar products that work just as well, but at a considerably higher price tag. Great deal for the price.
Absolutely great. I would highly recommend this to any one I know. It controls excess oil. I will definitely purchase again.
When I received this gel in my box, I was actually in the market for a mattifying gel, so it was perfect timing. After sampling the gel, I bought it before the sample could run out. However, I seem to have liked the sample more than the actual product. First, I did not like the packaging the product came in. I felt that the gel would dry-up in the large easily-air-permeable container. And it did. After 3-4 months the gel was pretty dried up and I had to take off the black top to scoop some of the product up. I also felt the drying-out affected the effectiveness of the gel- it didn't seem to stop the shine like it did at first. Unfortunately, I ended up tossing it before I used it all.
I have very oily skin. Literally an hour after applying powder I'll be back to a shiny mess if I'm not wearing PTR mattifying gel.
The directions say you can apply it under or over your makeup. When I first received it, I would always apply it under my makeup and it didn't really do anything. Then I started applying it over my makeup and what a difference! Now I don't leave the house without it on!
Maybe if your skin isn't as oily as mine this product will work okay if you put it under your makeup - but if that isn't working, don't give it, just try it over your makeup. Made a dramatic difference for me!

Styris and Taylor lead the Kiwis fight back
With a victory needed to progress to the Twenty20 World Cup semi finals New Zealand battled back after another dominate display from Englands spinner to reach 149-9.
Spinners Graeme Swann and Michael Yardy once again played an instrumental role in Englands bowling attack as the pair bowled 7 consecutive overs of spin after the power play overs.
The pair conceded just 50 runs with Swann picking up the wickets of Brendon McCullum (33) and Aaron Redmond (16) as Englands spinners increased the pressure.
New Zealand battled back with Scott Styris (31) and Ross Taylor building an important partnership of 62 to allow the Kiwis to set England a run chase of 150.
The Kiwis got of to a good start with Brendon McCullum and Jesse Ryder attacking Ryan Sidebottom and Tim Bresnan as the England bowlers got off to a nervy start which allowed the Kiwi openers to build an opening partnership of 30.
After starting off brightly New Zealand were pegged back by Bresnan who bowled Ryder (9) with a slow cutter which clattered into the stumps to leave the Kiwis 30-1 at the end of the 5th over.
With the field restrictions completed Paul Collingwood turned to Swann and Yardy; just as he had done against South Africa and the pair put the squeeze on Redmond and McCullum as the runs dried up.
Having faced seven overs of spin the Kiwis run rate had decreased to just 6.8 an over as England increased their hold on the game with two new batsmen at the crease after the dismissal of McCullum and Redmond.
With Swann and Yardy seen off; Styris and Taylor battled back scoring some valuable runs off the bowling of Sidebottom and Broad as England conceded 49 runs from the next 5 overs.
After building the foundations of an important partnership Styris and Taylor would have been looking to attack the England bowlers in the final 5 overs but Broad struck back to remove Styris just as the momentum was building in the Kiwis favour.
Having rediscovered his form Taylor (44) missed out on a well deserved half century after he was caught by Bresnan out on the boundary after trying to smash Sidebottom for consecutive sixes at the end of the 18th over.
The loss of Taylor left Nathan McCullum (3) and Daniel Vettori (4) to see out the final over as England battled back to keep the Kiwis under 150.

Friday Morning Music
Start your weekend with this number live from last year's Austin City Limits Music Festival.
Cold Play - Charlie Brown.
Wayfinding in an unknown woods, not a soccer match
I've already voted in the Walker recall election, so I'm not sure why I keep trying to find new information that will either make me feel better about my choice or make me feel better about the outcome should my vote not prevail.
How to Make Rhubarb Strawberry Jam
Sure, I know you're probably asking yourself - He's got it backward. Shouldn't it be strawberry rhubarb? You never hear of rhubarb strawberry pie? It's always strawberry rhubarb pie.
I have it correct inasmuch as here is more rhubarb in my jam by weight. As the dominant ingredient it goes first. I digress.
The sound of the cuckoo
I love the audible signals at traffic lights in Wauwatosa's village. You'll be scurrying about, head and eyes down, in search of olive oil or noodles or a screw driver, and a chirp or cuckoo startles you into taking a closer look at where you are right now, this second.
The audible signals have something to do with accommodating residents of the Badger Home for the Blind on Hawley Road. My lazy research hints that Tosa must have been on the cutting edge of using signals that work for for the blind as well as for the seeing. But chirping signals are rare enough that I still feel delight when I hear them.
Introductions All Around
Well, hello!
Welcome to the first post on my blog. My bio tells you a little bit about me, and if you're familiar with Wauwatosa (and why wouldn't you be, if you're on WauwatosaNOW's site!), you're aware of the Underwood Parkway, school, and neighborhood. My 'hood. Hence, my blog title.
Bus rider
Except for trips from the Park-and-Ride to the Summerfest grounds, I've avoided the bus for a couple years now.
Aside from the scary reports of wilding and violence on the city buses, there were those awful TV screens streaming endless loops of ads and health propaganda. Even as a law abiding citizen who is inclined toward good health messages, the ernest repetition made me long for a cigarette. And I've never smoked.
Friday Morning Music
It's the start of the weekend people.
Kick it off with some stunning vocales from Adele...
Slap judgment
"Suddenly, people a thousand miles away hate your guts."
That's what happens, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Jim Stingl points out, in a world where our every thoughtless moment might be passed around the YouTubeverse by people whose judgments are as fast as slapping the "share" button.
The Garden Chronicles
Got the pumpkins and Lima beans planted today. The pumpkin variety is called Snackface Hybrid - supposedly a big producer of tasty seeds - if you fashion roasted pumpkin seeds.
We'll see.
The Empty Nest is Full Again
Gosh, it's been a long time. I can't blame you if you've forgotten me - out of "site," out of mind. But I have a good excuse, really. See, I have a couple of new roommates that have kept me a little busy lately. My parents have moved in with us. Yep, we are officially a three-generation household.
New Wauwatosa apartment development adding units
The Enclave, a 152-unit apartment development in Wauwatosa, plans to add another 40 units.
HSI Properties LLC started construction last year on The Enclave, at W. State and N. 62nd streets. One building is completed, and another is to be finished by Aug. 1.
Excuse Me While I Wax Poetic
Warning: This entry may make many of you think, even say out loud, "duh, Allison... get with it. That's old news."
I'm more and more proud to be a Wauwatosa resident, with each passing week; as though I'm experiencing some sort of hometown epiphany.
Quite Possibly The Perfect Magazine
As I was taking my recycling cart to the curb recently it occured to me that it was largely full of expired gardening journals, newspaper food sections, bowhunting, turkey hunting, pheasant hunting, NRA magazines, and Wisconsin Outdoor News. It was an eclectic collection of reading material for sure.
And a big pile of it too.
Youths and Ukes - A Quick Response
I recently noticed Mr. Rick Romano's article from last week, about Tosa students learning to play the ukulele. I immediately thought "ahh... that's why that kid was walking around the Longefellow Middle School neighborhood, strumming a uke, as if he was a Renaissance musician strolling with his lute." It seemed odd and out of place at the time, but apparently not - how cool is it that Tosa kids have a ukulele club?!
Ukes are fantastic instruments to teach music with. They have just four strings, are fairly inexpensive (you can find violin strings that cost more for one string than an entire ukulele), and are extremely portable. I can fit one in my purse! The tuning is the only slightly tricky part, but once you get past that you're good to go. It doesn't take long to learn three chords on the thing, and honestly, most pop songs only require three chords (*ahem*).Besides all that, as evidenced in Tosa schools, ukes are hip again.
I'm Not Special
At a recent high school graduation, an English teacher, David McCullough Jr., gave this commencement speech:

I have just the prescription.
Birds of a Feather
Do you remember the post from a couple of weeks ago about the bird nest in one of the hanging baskets on my front porch?
It's been abandoned. Dang.

It's the start of the weekend and time to feed the Van Morrison jones.
This is a really, really jamming version of Moondance with Candy Dulfer...

Track Phony of the Month
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.
Re: Track Phony of the Month
I'm always a little worried that people will think I'm as crazy as this guy when I talk about my track "career" with the Texas Longhorns. But at least I qualify it by characterizing my one year there as a career that was "brief and highly undistinguished." Really funny (and humbling) story: Stan Huntsman and I were chatting in the stands at a meet in the past year or two, and he said, "Lee, I remember you running for me, but I just can't remember what you did." I laughed and said, "That's because I didn't do anything worth remembering, Coach."
Re: Track Phony of the Month
story on LSU frosh Kavahra Holmes talking about how he turned down an invitation to the OT this summer. We'll ignore for a moment that one of the first signs of a phony is when you read "they were invited to the OT"; nobody gets invited. You enter on your own volition.
We'll ignore the fact that while he was indeed the second-fastest HS 400 runner in the country in '11, he didn't have either an A or a B qualifier.
http://www.lsureveille.com/sports/footb ... f6878.html
Re: Track Phony of the Month
Of course flagrant errors like that make one wonder whether any of the football information in the article is accurate.
Re: Track Phony of the Month
I agree that claims that he was invited to participate in the Olympic Trials don't seem to make sense...
I know gh is aware of this and it's probably a matter of semantics, but just to clarify the "nobody gets invited to the Trials" part though, invitations ARE issued by USATF to certain athletes who've submitted entry forms and who've obtained the provisional B qualifier IF it's necessary to fill the event field due to an insufficient number of A qualifiers entered. (As gh stated though, Holmes never obtained the 46.00 B qualifier so this doesn't apply in his case.) But to be fair, if someone claims that they received an invitation to participate in the trials, in the case of B standard athletes it's possible that the claim may not be phony.. And if necessary I think the qualifying standards are even permitted to be adjusted by the Committee Chair, based on previous entries, up to 45 days prior to the trials... So in really unusual situations I guess it might even be possible that an athlete could still be invited to compete at the US Trials, even if he or she didn't obtain the "original" B qualifying mark, if it should ever be necessary for USATF to lower qualifying standards in order to fill an event field...
Re: Track Phony of the Month
Several years ago I ran into a sophisticated track phony. I was a pit boss in a casino here in Calgary at the time and this elderly, tall and slim man was a regular player, and we knew him as John. He was an immigrant from the Netherlands.
He told me he won two bronze medals in 1948, in the 1500m and the 5000m. He picked the wrong guy to make the claim to, since I said immediately "so your name must have been Willem Slykhuis?". He said yes and quickly changed the subject. I later checked and found out that the real Slykhuis (sp?) died years ago.
