Princess on Sale
Phil Reimer–This was the year when the cruise lines hoped they would get back some of there pricing power. While there has been some discussion and we have seen some price increases, a lot of the cruise lines have been promoting sales.

BLOODBORNE. It's out Tuesday. Like, this coming Tuesday. Sid and I have played it, and we've got hands-on impressions to prove it. God of War III Remastered has been officially announced for PS4, PlayStation Vue has launched in NYC, Philly and Chicago, Helldivers got some sweet, sweet DLC, and Jamestown+ is out now as part of our ongoing Spring Fever promotion.
Now live on PlayStation Store: Battlefield Hardline, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD (with FFXV demo), Jamestown+, new Spring Fever deals, and more.
Good news and bad news, all. Buckle up.
Bad news first: Jamestown+, the long-awaited PS4 release of our critically-acclaimed 4-player co-op shoot-em-up, is NOT coming out last summer like we promised. I know. You're shocked.
A classic adventure returns! We speak with Matt Korba, the creative director on the new King's Quest for PS4 and PS3. We also chat about Project Morpheus, Hotline Miami 2, Lords of the Fallen, and Sid's newfound obsession with Stanley Kubrick. Enjoy the show!
Hello PlayStation fans! We held an awesome event at our offices yesterday, and in case you missed some of our new game announcements I wanted to round them up for you below. Also note that all of these titles will be making their console debut on PlayStation platforms.
After playing a round of Jamestown, it's probably not surprising to hear that Final Form Games is run by two brothers who grew up playing video games in the early 90's. We spent our Summers plugging quarters into Street Fighter II in the arcades, and our Saturday mornings sitting on the couch, playing games together.
Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation.Blog?

Category: British baby naming
By Catherine Ens
As the old saying goes, "I remember faces, not names." The opposite has always been true for me. By the age of about seven, I could confidently recite my class list and give the names of almost all the students in my school. As I grew up, there seemed to be only one profession that would allow me to ponder over names to the same extent that I did as a child, and so I grew up to become a teacher. And it gets better than that; I moved from my native Britain to become a teacher in the United States, where I had a whole new world of names to explore, and where I discovered that people often play the naming game in surprisingly different ways.
I love my job. Each September, I joyfully copy my second graders' appellations onto name tags and into grade books – and then stand back to admire them. As I do so, I am often struck by the differences between parents' choices here and in my own country. For their first homework assignment, I always ask my students to find out more about why their parents chose their name, and then to share this information with the class. As a name fanatic, I can't help but devour these "name stories" and amaze at the naming differences on this side of the pond.

The S110 Nissan Silvia, sold in the United States as the Datsun 200SX for the 1979 through 1983 model years, has all but disappeared from American roads by now. We've seen a couple of the S110's successor, the S12, in this series: this '86 200SX and this '86 200SX Turbo, and that's it. Late last week, I spotted this faded but unrusty two-tone '81 at a Northern California wrecking yard. (Read More…)
Tag: Nissan 200SX
The 240SX version of the Nissan Silvia has become something of a cult car among drifter types in the United States, but the earlier (1984-88) 200SX version seems to have disappeared from both the streets and the public consciousness. Still, I see the occasional 200SX in wrecking yards these days, and I spotted this red '86 in a Denver yard last week. (Read More…)
It's hard to get more stereotypically 80s than this car. Weird Japanese styling, headache-inducing upholstery patterns, and— most important— TURBO! I was 20 years old when this car was new, and the sight of this Crusher-bound example gave me terrible A-Ha flashbacks. (Read More…)

Seattle, Wash. (Jul. 16)
Although it was written by a Seattle-bred man and in thinly disguised fictional form contains many hitherto unrevealed facts about the background and personalities of this city's residents of an earlier generation, "The Last Pioneers," Melvin P. Levy's most recent book, is not on the shelves of the Seattle Public Library.
"Mr. Levy's book was judged not absolutely necessary for our collection," says Miss Sarah Virginia Lewis, the library's superintendent of circulation. "Not that it was excluded—it simply was not included on our list of new books to be purchased."
The book's setting is in the mythical town of Puget. Its central character is a Jew Chaim Shemanski, Galician-born son of a shoemaker, who comes to Puget under the name of Herman Merro, adopted from a Vladivostok bartender who saved him from the Czar's army, which he had deserted.
One of Seattle's leading Jewish residents is Alfred Shemanski.
Merro's story is interwoven with that of Paul Dexter, the town's banker, street railway magnate and real estate operator.
Seattle's principal bank was founded by Dexter Horton, a non-Jew.
There are many other equally apparent indications that the book is founded on fact rather than fiction.
The author, who at the age of thirty-two, has written three books and a play and who is now in New York, writes:
"If anyone wonders who Herman Merro or any other of the characters in 'The Last Pioneer' is, I can answer that—nobody. Or rather, I hope, the essence of very many people, people who might have lived in Puget. I hope readers will remember that my book is fiction."

The winning Powerball numbers in the $360 million jackpot were revealed tonight.
The Powerball numbers (white) for May 15: 2-11-26-34-41
The Powerball red Power number: 32
UPDATE: Powerball jackpot increases to $475 million!
It won't be revealed until later tonight or early Thursday morning if there were any jackpot winners, and if the total jackpot has increased.
It's possible the jackpot will be more than $360 million because tickets around the country were selling at a rapid pace.
UPDATE: The Powerball live show said the jackpot was $363.9 million.
One report said Florida retailers today were selling 10,000 tickets per minute.
The next Powerball drawing is May 18. If no one wins tonight, the next jackpot would come close to the $587.5 record jackpot won on Nov. 28, 2012, by ticket holders in Missouri and Arizona.
The last big Michigan Powerball winner was Donald Lawson of Lapeer who won $337 million on Aug. 15, 2012.

"GTK warning :cannot open display" Help me please
i am an entirely new person in linux.
i was trying to configure minimo browser.
i downloaded mozilla-1.7.12-source.tar.gz,unzipped it and build it using make -f client.mk build_all.
i also got an executable:mozilla/dist/bin/TestGtkEmbed
but when i tried running it ,i got an error
"GTK warning :cannot open display:"
can anyone please suggest a solution?
thank you in advance
I usually recieve that error when I forgeet I am root in a shell and try to open a GTK application...basically that means if your root in a console become a normal user before trying to run it.
It sounds like it's an issue with permissions on your display. Basically, when you log into an X windows session as a user, you own that display, and other people aren't allowed to access it. This is a good thing, since your display includes your keyboard - if everyone was allowed to access it, anyone could just watch your keyboard and steal passwords, as well as virtually looking over your shoulder at what you're doing etc.
This is what lord-fu is referring to, since if you su to root, you're (temporarily) logged in as a different user, so root doesn't have access to your display. Logging out and running the command as yourself is one way of solving it, but sometimes graphical applications need root priviledges. You can control access to your display with the 'xhost' command; to allow the user 'root' to connect, issue this command as the display owner (i.e. your normal user):
$ xhost +root
i have logged in as root into the xwindow and also logged into command line as root.again when i try to run a gtk program,i am getting the same error.
i did gtk configuration manually after downloading packages,then configuring it,make and make install.i had installed gtk+-2.4.0 along with associated other packages(like atk,glib,pango,jpeg etc).
is the above mentioned error due to some problem or mistake in this installation?
please help
thank you in advance
Have you tried logging into X as your usual user, issuing the 'xhost +root' (or just 'xhost +' if that doesn't work) in a terminal window, then 'su'-ing before running your program? It may or may not solve the issue, but I wouldn't trust things to be quite how you want them for a root login to X. At the very least, it'll pin down whether it's a config issue or a libraries/other issue.
yes ,i tried that also.i logged in as normal user and gave "xhost +" from command line.i got error message as "unable to open display".
i think something is wrong with my x window.my x window is also not working properly.when i gave "startx" from command line i got error as
"/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common line45:3206 segmentation fault
xmodmap "$sysmodmap" ". is my xwindow having some problem.
i have installed xorg-x11-6.8.1-12-i386.rpm and also
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm.is it needed that i should include some library?please suggest a solution
please help
Yeah, if you can't use xhost as the user you logged in as, there's something up. Though if you can use X at all, you should have access to the display to be able to change its access rights...:confused:
Looking on Google, all reports of the GTK warning seem to be either (i)related to SSHing into another machine (the vast majority), or (ii)people unable to start X at all. As noted, if you can log into X, that user should be able to access that display, and... hmm.
Just to check, you are trying to run things on your own monitor and not on some other computer? If so, perhaps the $DISPLAY environment variable is set so it's looking somewhere else. Try "echo $DISPLAY" from a console to see if you're inadvertently trying to start your app on a remote PC. It should almost certainly be ":0.0", so if it's not, try
export DISPLAY=:0.0
If that doesn't sort it out... can you run the standard X applications, and other downloaded ones? It could be that your Gtk toolkit isn't installed properly, though I probably won't be able to help you with that other than suggesting a
yum update
Hope one of these things sorts out your problem,
i tried it also.but end up with no success.
i think something was wrong with my xwindow.i reinstalled it.now gtk is working properly
thank u all for ur help and support

Although many felt it could not be done, the Gahanna Lincoln Golden Lions out played Northland 71-45 last night in front of 6,000 fans to claim a birth in the state tournament. Despite Gahanna's significant size disadvantage, Gahanna's guard play was the difference in this game. Although Northland jumped out to 7-0 lead with consecutive dunks, and led 12-10 at the end of the 1st quarter, Gahanna seized the lead early in the 2nd quarter and took a 33-22 lead into the half.
In the 2nd half, Gahanna remained aggressive, continued to attack the cup and stayed hot from the perimeter. Gahanna maintained the lead throughout the 3rd quarter and carried a 50-31 lead into the 4th quarter. Although most in attendance at the Fairground Coliseum waited anxiously for a Vikings run, Gahanna guard play controlled the tempo of the game, and actually extended the lead.
Jarred Sullinger had his typical outstanding performance, but it simply was not enough, as the Golden Lions had everything clicking on what turned out to be a special night. Gahanna was led in scoring by Stevie Taylor (scored his 1000th point in the game) and Rob Brandonburg who both finished with 19 points; Sam Bott who had a stellar game with 14 points and Anthony Jackson who contributed 12 points. Northland was lead by Sullinger's 24 points, followed by JD Weatherspoon with 13 points and Trey Burke's 8 points. Next up for Gahanna is Massalin-Jackson in the state final four. To see pictures of the game, visit the Buckeye Prep Facebook Fan Page. Checkout the Ty Kish video. the Cap City Prep video and the Columbus Dispatch story for more on the game. More pictures added. With the win, Max Preps has ranked Gahanna 6th in the nation and USA Today has the Lions at 10th! Check out the Central District All-Tournament Team selections.

Remember when 2 megapixels was a big deal? This was shot more than seven years ago with my first Panasonic FZ1. You can see the aberrations pretty easily a common flaw with digicams of that day. I did love that camera!
That is still a very dynamic image. It is amazing how some cameras just work so well with the photographer that they free us up to be more creative rather then restrict our vision and are always ready and with us when we need them.
My first was the 2 megapixel Olympus C2100 UZ. But my FZ20 and FZ50 are still two of my all time favorite cameras for their reliability and flexibility.
FZ-20 - The Burmah Queen, and old team powered boat.
Really, in the end--as long as the image is good--what was used to create it doesn't really matter much at all. A good image from a lesser tool is better than a mediocre image from an awesome tool.

ASK A QUESTION a cocotazos
Reading a book by a Puertan Rican author. The character feels insulted by an older woman, but chooses not to respond rudely because of what her mother taught her "a cocotazos, no lo niego". What is "a cocotazos"? I guess a hit with a coconut? Maybe like "knocking some sense into her"? Thanks.
2 Answers
Your head is often referred to as "el coco" (the coconut). So "dar un cocotazo" is to beat "upside the head", if you will. You had the right idea with "knocking some sense into her."

This discussion may contain spoilers!
I recently posted this on a discussion, and decided to make it it's own. Below is the very comment and theory I contributed:
I like to call this little one 'The Magic Mirror Theory'.
'These lips are sealed.' It is said twice in Episode 1, once by Faith, and again by the magic mirror (when asked to show Faith). If Faith isn't really dead and the there is an explanation for the head, this is more to go on than you may think. The Magic Mirror obviously knows something about Faith or has a close relation to her (likely the former). If this is indeed the case, the Magic Mirror has either knowledge of Faith's "death" and whereabouts and wishes not to tell, or some magic is preventing him from doing so. Again, I suspect the former for a number of reasons. When he says '...these lips are sealed.', he has a sort of grin on his face - he knows, and is not telling. And not because he isn't allowed to; because he doesn't want to. He is voluntarily involved in it or plays a more major than minor role in it. Of course, he cannot be the killer, because he's a mirror. But think. He is a Magic Mirror. If he IS playing a role in this, he is a huge aid to the walking culprits. He has the mans, and most certainly the time, to tell them exactly where the people are and what they are doing; what more could a murderer/kidnapper/etc want? In conclusion: I think the Magic Mirror may know a lot about Faith (more than a simple gaze through the mirror, what happened to her, where she is if she is alive, and he is in it voluntarily and provided info to the actual murderer (I use italics with 'murderer', because there is no solid evidence that they are really dead, or even murdered at all).
Of course, like so many other things, this is a mere theory.
Thanks for reading. c:
Like said above, this is just a theory. Thanks for reading, and post your thoughts on my theory below. Likely? Unlikely? Possibility? Let me know! ^^

Mom and Dad and their teenager have pared their possessions to a few personal items, among them a guitar.
They sold their home, furniture and car, gave up their beloved dog, Chloe, gave away clothing and a TV, and threw away items of use and meaning only to themselves.
On Monday, Molly, Joseph and Elijah Bail boarded a flight for a new life in Kenya. The elder Bails plan to open a home for AIDS orphans and street children in the East African nation. They plan to settle permanently.
"I was born for this,'' said Joseph Bail, 46.
Their extended families don't agree and can't understand the need to move across the world to a developing country, especially one that only recently was embroiled in violent ethnic and political conflict.
Elijah, who will celebrate his 14th birthday in a few weeks, also was not sold on the idea.
"He has mixed emotions. For him, he's leaving everything he knows,'' Molly Bail, 43, said last week. "He's coming to grips with it and he's better than he was before. He may not imagine that this is what he wants to do, but I can't imagine that other children will have the experience he's going to have. It will make him a much more rounded person.''
Laughing, she added, "and when he's 18, he can come back to the United States.''
For Elijah's parents, the move is a dream come true, an opportunity to live their faith by helping the less fortunate.
They began simply enough, first organizing their Safety Harbor church to feed homeless people in downtown Clearwater and then to assist migrant workers in Wimauma. They followed that with help for the poor in Haiti. In 2005, they began talking about a long-term commitment to children in Kenya.
"After going to Haiti and places like that, I want at the end of my life to say that I did it, that I made a difference,'' Molly Bail said.
The Bails plan to build an orphanage outside Nakuru, a town about 2 1/2 hours northwest of Nairobi, Kenya's capital. They hope to begin with 12 to 18 children and expand to 100. The orphanage, which will be built on land donated by a Kenyan woman, will be constructed with money raised in the United States.
The Clearwater couple estimate that the project will cost $50,000 to $70,000. Money has been raised by the church they attend, Cypress Meadows Community Church in Safety Harbor, other congregations in the Tampa Bay area, friends and other donors.
The Bails also have held garage sales to help with their effort and asked for support on their Web site, SpringsofHopeKenya.org. Their church has pledged to contribute $1,000 a month for the family's living expenses over the next three years.
"Initially, it is a three-year commitment,'' Joseph Bail said of his family's Kenyan plans. "We probably will end up being (there) many, many years beyond the three-year commitment.''
Douglas Poole, senior pastor at Cypress Meadows Community Church, said he admires the couple. "They were at a crisis point in their lives and looking for a purpose'' when they attended the 1998 Billy Graham Crusade in Tampa and found his church, the pastor said.
"They have been very much the voice of social justice and concern for the under-resourced in this church,'' Poole said, adding that he was not surprised to learn of the Bails' plans.
"We didn't go into this blindly,'' Bail said. "We know that there will be many difficulties ahead.''
Most recently Bail ran a house painting business with his brothers. Molly Bail used to work in retail. She and Elijah joined her husband for short trips to Kenya in 2005 and 2006. It was a trial run for this week's move.
The family, who sold their home in March, had been staying at a friend's empty Oldsmar house and sleeping on air mattresses.
In Kenya, they will initially live with a Kenyan church leader and his family while searching for a home.
Preparing for the move was trying.
"Quite honestly, I never envisioned how difficult it would be,'' Bail said. "We've sold things we were able to sell. We threw away a lot of our lives. We gave away a lot. I tell people I have reduced my life to 6 cubic feet."
Much of what the family took to Kenya will not be for themselves. Their luggage included more than 50 deflated soccer balls, toys, toothbrushes and toothpaste, Bail said.
"One of my son's carry-ons will be his guitar,'' he said last week. "That was an essential item, his guitar.''

Please excuse me if this is the wrong place. I am NOT a cake business, but didn't really know where else to post this, sorry. I just really, really need some help.
I'm just a girl who makes cakes as a hobby. I am not a professional, I have no training. I just enjoy it, and will make cakes for friends and family. I do not make any profit, I just ask for enough money to cover the ingredients plus any extras people want - ribbons, boxes, cake boards etc.
A friend of my boyfriend contacted me asking me to make a cake for her mum. She asked for a chocolate orange cake, the same one I'd made for my boyfriend's birthday that she'd tasted. I agreed, and we agreed on the price. I offered to deliver it to her house on Friday night, but she asked if someone could collect it from my house on Saturday morning, to which I agreed.
I made the cake, it was collected by a lady on Saturday morning, I showed it to her BEFORE she gave me the money. She had said she was happy with it, witnessed by my mum and my boyfriend. I also took pictures of the cake a few minutes before she arrived.
Fast forward to 10pm Monday night, and I get a text from the lady who collected it demanding her money back - saying it was the wrong flavour and that there was jam all over the plate. I explained that the flavour was exactly as my friend requested and there was NO jam in the cake. She then went on to claim the frosting had melted, to which I told her that it was fine before it left my house, when she collected it. She was being very rude and forceful through text, so my boyfriend phoned her (as he's the business head in our relationship) to go through the issues. She was very rude, shouting at him on the phone and threatening to "get her brother in law involved" - whatever that means.
I contacted the friend who had initially requested the cake - she said it was nothing to do with her, she hadn't seen the cake and didn't want to get involved. I explained that I only do orders for friends/family and if I'd known it was for someone else I would never have done it.
I feel very threatened and intimidated by this woman, especially since she knows where I live. I don't want to give a "refund" because I am NOT a business, I made the cake with money out of my own pocket after a friend requested it and there was nothing wrong with the cake when it left my house. She said she threw the cake away and didn't eat it, therefore no longer has it.
This is the cake I made. As you can see, nothing spectacular as I am not a professional and do not claim to be, but it was what my friend requested. The picture was taken just before collection so you can see - no jam on the plate and no melted buttercream. The gold plate is actually my own that I agreed to lend, believing that the order was from my friend.
What should I do? :(
AShe paid you money for the cake. Whether you think so or not, you ARE a business. Just because you didn't "profit" from the cake doesn't mean there wasn't a business transaction.
Just ignore her. If she takes it any further she'll find out that she has no leg to stand on, since you took an order from the daughter, not her, and she will have to take it up with her. And in future don't make cakes for people you don't know well enough to give a free cake to!
AIf you are in an area that requires a licensed and inspected commercial kitchen to sell food (even if you don't make a profit) this person could cause trouble by reporting you to the health department.
yes what kikiandkyle said!
in my area that is very strict with licensing etc--i doubt that the authorities would respond to this complaint if the woman complains to them
it's not the purview of the health department to demand customer satisfaction due to jelly and flavor issues on behalf of the aggrieved and benighted
not the police's purview nor anyone else in authority--
if they did respond they would issue you a cease and desist order
which you would have no problem with because you got hoodwinked in the first place
so since you aren't attempting to be a business by circumventing the legalities and since this is an unhappy person who is not b*tching about her bird dying when he ate a bite of cake then i really don't think you have anything to worry about
if she continues to harass you--you can take action against that
i'm sorry this got so complicated for you
hope you don't hear from her again and i hope you can get this far behind you soon
Wow, that's awful! I'd make a stink about the fact that you were LIED to and you have no idea who she is nor do you actually care but you want your plate back... But hey, thats me and I normally make situations worse, don't take this as advice! She's just being a bully for the sake of it by the sounds of it. And your 'friend'! Staying out of it? you may want to have words with her and tell her that it IS to do with her, its HER fault for letting a nutter like that loose at you and calm this nonsense down ASAP! Good luck =]
Oh I get in lots of trouble with this mouth! Seems to be quicker than my brain...
It's not fair though, I do the same though as in bake for friends and family. I want to set up a home/part time business but have to wait for my own mortgage till I officially can so I see the cakes I do as practise and lots of fun. To have some snobby [insert many many swear words here] call up out of the blue and tell you the cake she "bought" isnt good enough blah blah blah (clearly looking for a cheap cake) is ridiculous and one of the things I panic about all the time. I'm doing a massive this weekend for a friend's daughter's joint birthday party with about 100+ kids attending, it's pretty much this exactly that has left me with stumps where my nails used to be and trying to find someone with an inhaler to steal for those moments of blind panic. I mean other people will be eating it... OTHER PEOPLE! Pixiee88, you have my absolute sympathies and seriously, that was a nice plate...
Ok, let me get this straight.
Your boyfriend's friend ordered a cake. She herself placed the order and said she was sending someone to pick it up. That someone was the one paying for the cake, but no one told you this fact. Then this person who picked the cake up called to yell at you because she didn't like what she (didn't actually) order?
Good Lord, that is messed up.
I would tell her that since someone else ordered the cake, you cannot speak with her further about it, and to have the person who placed the order call you. (we know she has already been contacted, that is not the issue). Make a point that you did NOT know this cake was meant for someone not known to you, and if you have known that you would have never done the cake. Ask for your plate back, but expect it to be a loss.
And then NEVER take money for a cake again until you are a business (or at least make sure you do it for ONLY people who you PERSONALLY KNOW, not a friend of a friend.) This is why we set up businesses- so we can have policies and procedures in place to deal with the general public and all the issues that go along with that. If you don't take money, then people have no leg to stand on when they complain.
AThats rubbish I really feel for you, dont let this knock you too much! Its awful to put in time and effort make no money and to get shouted at as a result takes the cake!!!! My advice is to go 1 way or the other fight it 100 percent or give her the money back and put it down to experience. Some people want amazing cakes for practically nothing, I was recently asked to make 2 small carved cakes for someone at work and when I asked her budget she replied "10 pound each?" That was an interesting conversationxx good luck with it
The situation stinks, but if were you I'd give the money back and never take money for a cake again until you are set up legally as a business. Regardless of who placed the order, if the woman who picked it up paid for it, she's your customer, and she IS a customer if she paid you anything for it. It sounds like she's a lying creep, but she probably knows you're not legal so she's taking advantage of that.
By the way, it sounds like the person who placed the order to begin with isn't really such a friend as you thought, since she's not willing to get involved. I'd put her on the "no cake for you" list.
By the way, it sounds like the person who placed the order to begin with isn't really such a friend as you thought, since she's not willing to get involved. I'd put her on the "no cake for you" list.
It made me laugh because I thought about Seinfeld's Soup Nazi's "NO SOUP FOR YOU!"
I would not want a friend who says "I don't want to be involved". Who needs a friend like that? Not me!!! As for your plate you probably will not get it back.
Sorry that you had to go through all of this. Your cake is cute!! I bet it tasted fine and there was probably nothing wrong with it!! Some people just complain for no reason.
Try not to let it get to you and hang in there!! Keep the faith!!!!

Seriously! Your friend really let you down. If the woman calls back, you need to refer her to the friend and if you are still speaking to her she needs to reimburse you for the cake plate, IMO. What a bunch of BS!
My response to the faux customer would be that "as far as I know, you were a picking up this cake for "x." I don't know you. I have no contract with you to provide a cake, and i never did any such thing. Do not call here again, " and hang up the phone.
I don't believe baking cakes for friends and family, who pay you for the supplies, is running a business. I pick up fast food for my dad, and when I deliver it to his house he pays me for it. It doesn't make me a food courier.
But everyone else is right, when you branch out beyond that, you are certainly in business.
Don't be afraid of bullies. Push right back!
good luck

EUREKA -- The Crusaders saved their best for last.
Trailing after each of the first three quarters, St. Bernard's ripped off a 16-3 run to start the final period and held on for a 58-50 victory over Ferndale as Little 4 boys' games started Friday.
Oscar Pimentel hit three jumpers and tossed in all seven of his points in the fourth quarter comeback to help spark the Crusaders.
"(Pimentel's scoring) was huge for us," said St. Bernard's head coach Steve Thrap. "It exemplified how it was a team effort. Lots of people contributed, and all of them did their jobs."
Among the other Crusaders who made key contributions in the dramatic turnaround were Shed Bean, Christian Stephens and Houston Knox.
Bean's 3-pointer snapped Ferndale's 10-point lead midway through the third quarter, and the senior then scored two buckets early in the fourth to give the Green and White their first lead since early in the opening quarter.
"He really led us tonight," Thrap said about Bean, who finished with 14 points.
The Wildcats temporarily regained the lead on Hunter Van Emmerik's low-post bucket off Kaden Zanone's assist, but Stephens nailed a 3-pointer to give St. B's the lead it would hold for the rest of the game.
Knox tossed in a game-high 18 points, including a drive down the lane and a pair of free throws after Van Emmerik's free throw brought Ferndale within four (53-49).
And when it came to foul shooting, the Wildcats were awful.
They made just 9 of 25, while by contrast, the Crusaders hit 14 of 21.
"Our Achilles heel was not taking care of the ball, and for the second game in a row our foul shooting was dreadful," said Ferndale head coach Steve Coppini.
During the first half, the visitors did quite well despite sinking only 3 of 10 from the charity stripe.
That's when Van Emmerik and Ike Townsend provided a strong inside presence, while Justin Lang hit jumpers from the perimeter. On defense, the Cats' controlled the boards and their solid 2-3 zone shut down the Crusaders' shooters.
"My hats off to Ferndale, they played hard and took it to us in the first half," said Thrap.
Van Emmerik finished with a team-high 16 points, double-digit rebounds and blocked six shots.
Townsend ended up with 10 points, while Lang and Wyatt Standley each contributed nine.
St. Bernard's (8-3, 1-0) hosts McKinleyville on Monday at 7:30 p.m., while Ferndale (4-5, 0-1) plays at El Molino today at 3 p.m.
Hoopa Valley 65, South Fork 61 (OT)
The Little 4's other matchup featured a tight overtime battle. With the game tied at 55 after regulation, the Warriors broke loose for the win that improved their overall record to 13-3 and 1-0 in the Little 4. The loss dropped the Cubs to 10-4, 0-1.
Milton Stewart (18), Charlie Moon (12), Tahn Blake (12) and Brandon Colegrove (11) each scored in double-digits for Hoopa, while Cristian Alatorre (17) and Troy Langley (12) paced South Fork.

Community Recognition
Castle Rock is a top Town
The numbers, facts, research and databases help tell the story residents live every day - Castle Rock is a great place to be. In fact, our Town ranks among the best both locally and nationally, according to a variety of national publications and studies.
Money Magazine: Top Place to Live
Money magazine recognized Castle Rock in its top places to live in 2011, 2012 and 2014. Most recently, Castle Rock ranked in the Top 10, coming in at No. 4.
Narrowing the list is difficult, of course, and Money Magazine set out to reduce the list to 10 from more than 780 cities with a population between 50,000 and 300,000 people. The magazine studied more than 50 factors, including the local economy, housing market, schools and healthcare.
American City and County: Best small cities
In early 2017, American City and County ranked the top 50 best small cities and towns in America. Castle Rock came in at No. 20.
The report analyzed 1,268 small U.S. cities with populations between 25,000 and 100,000 and ranked them based on 30 indicators, such as economic health, quality of life, education and health, safety and affordability.
Apartment List: Best Cities for Young Families
In late 2014, Apartment List ranked Castle Rock the fourth best place in America for young families and raising kids.
The ranking was based on safety, housing costs, school quality and family friendliness. The list highlighted Castle Rock's balance between a small-Town feel and access to a major metro area.
Motovo: Safe City Ranking
Real Estate company Motovo in 2014 ranked Castle Rock as the 9th safest Town in Colorado with populations of more than 10,000 people. The ranking was based on the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. The company pulled data from this report and compared per-capita crime rates.
NerdWallet: Top Place for Jobs, Families
Castle Rock was the top place in Colorado for job seekers, according to the website, which has been featured in the New York Times, TIME magazine and other national publications since its launch in 2010.
The site highlighted Castle Rock's 10.7 percent increase in the working-age population between 2009 and 2011. Also in 2013, NerdWallet named Castle Rock the fifth best place in Colorado for young families. The study looked at cost of living, education system and economic growth.
SafeWise: Safe City Ranking
With a crime rate well below the national average, Castle Rock ranked No. 18 in a list of the safest communities in Colorado.
SafeWise is a home security system broker. Its reports have been mentioned in The Huffington Post, Mashable, on Homes.com and on AngiesList. To develop its rankings of safe communities, SafeWise used the most recently FBI Crime Reports, which are from 2013.
The SafeWise report noted that, while Castle Rock's population has increased 77 percent over the past decade, crime rates remain very low. Castle Rock experienced 77 percent fewer violent crimes and 63 percent fewer property crimes than the average American city.
WalletHub: Small City Ranking
Even though Castle Rock is growing, it is still considered small by some analysts, including those at WalletHub, who in 2016 named Castle Rock one of the Best Small Cities in America.

Far Cry 3
I had a great time going through Far Cry 3, it was refreshing to be out in an open world, and perhaps my first time in the first person within one. Yet, I really felt the game fell a bit flat once you reached the second island, and the characters you met were not nearly as strong as the originals. Anyhow, the amount of polish and production that went into this product is simply amazing, everything just works all together and runs supremely well.
For the platinum it was actually quite easy, really just finish the game whilst making sure you're meeting requirements to upgrade your Tatau. The most frustrating trophies came from needing to play the game online through the games co-op mode. This takes a while and the levels are just not very inspired and leave you wondering why they're there in the first place.
Difficulty : 2.5/10

The Council of Smaller Enterprises (COSE) and its small business members have announced its support of the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2013 (S. 1392), and is urging federal legislators to support the measure immediately.
The bill was co-authored by U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and the legislation passed the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee with broad bipartisan support.
Language in the bill will promote energy efficiency retrofit projects for the private sector and commercial buildings – a significant opportunity for small- to mid-sized business owners. This will create opportunities for innovative programs and provides incentives for small business manufacturers to install more energy-efficient technologies at their facilities, promote workforce training and create voluntary, model building codes, provide for an educated workforce, and foster healthy working environments.
"We are very thankful to Senator Portman for his leadership on this important legislation," says Steve Millard, president and executive director of COSE. "Small businesses have many challenges, but energy efficiency programs make a difference to their bottom line, and this legislation will increase the use of energy efficiency technologies in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors."
COSE has been on the forefront of energy efficiency issues related to small businesses and helps them boost efficiencies with energy assessments and retrofits, as well as identifying resources for financial incentives and rebates and facilitating the pathway to capital. In 2012 alone, COSE's Energy Choice program performed 150 energy assessments, and delivered millions of dollars in utility savings to small businesses. COSE expects to perform almost 1,500 energy assessments in the next three years.
COSE announced its support of the bill after it was reviewed by small business owners that are members of the COSE Advocacy Committee. The Committee provides a forum for volunteers to discuss, research and share the specific values, principles and policies of COSE regarding public issues affecting small businesses.

Friday, Oct. 22, the sequel to the 2009 hit "Paranormal Activity" arrived in theaters.
After viewing it, I began to suspect that every shadow leading up to my room was a warning of impending danger or a creature preparing to attack me from around the corner.
The first "Paranormal Activity" was a limited release film debuted in 2008 from the mind of director and producer Oren Peli.
The film was made on a budget of $15,000 but soon the film's popularity grew earning it $193 million by 2009.
The first and the second movies were both filmed using a filming style called "found footage" which is often associated with the 1999 horror film "The Blair Witch Project."
Found footage is where the events of a film are seen by the audience through a camera, making the events seem much more authentic.
The first thing I noticed about "Paranormal Activity 2" was the larger budget, as well as perspective.
The film felt more refined and detailed in both the setting and the nature of the filming, especially since the directing role had switched from Peli to Tod Williams.
Aside from the scares, the films plot structure was surprising and engrossing. "Paranormal Activity 2" served as a both a sequel and a prequel explaining things from the first film while further developing the overall story.
What "Paranormal Activity 2" does better than the first is create a haunting atmosphere for the film. Instead of relying on just a camcorder like the first film, the audience is shown events going on in the film from several surveillance camera's in and outside of the house.
The use of the different cameras highlighted the films tension and aided in the execution of the surprise moments.
While watching "Paranormal Activity 2," I could not help but realize that it is a film that shines much more in the movie theater than it probably would on DVD.
The movie encourages the audience to pay attention and focus on the shadows, movement and placement of items in the film's scenes.
In the theater responses like, 'look over there it's moving,' were welcomed and only added to the creepiness of William's directing.
The difference between "Paranormal Activity 2" and other horror movies is the amount of dialogue.
The movie progresses through the dialogue, and the plot relies on speaking much more than a normal suspense thriller would.
Some may complain that there is too much talking for a horror movie, but one must regard "Paranormal Activity 2" as more of a psychological experience than an average blood and gore thriller such as "Halloween."
Leaving the theater I realized that I had not been this frightened in a long time.
This is a result of the trick "Paranormal Activity 2" and its predecessor plays on the audience. Instead of only using the found footage style to make the film appear more realistic, producers added footage to play off of the viewer's paranoia.
The incorporation of the surveillance camera angles allowed audience members to not only see the characters but to see the things they could not, the same things we may not be seeing in our own lives.
"Paranormal Activity" plays off the fear of the presence of a force or thing sneaking up from behind, creeping up our stairs or dwelling in our homes.
I left the West Covina Edwards theater that night paranoid. Even though I knew these events were fictional, I could not help but be paranoid by the paranormal,which is why I know "Paranormal Activity 2" delivered.

So this RR will have little to do with running. It is more about the weekend as a whole. Everything that occured is tied together in my mind and I don't think I'd be able to separate it into different postings very well so I'm just gonna do this all as one.
Thursday, April 11
I'm kinda freaking out a little bit. Babbling to coworkers about splits, and weather, and all sorts of nonsense that most of them don't really care about. One of them took pity on me for my taper madness, however, and made me a sign that included 4 mini candy bars-one for each day I had left until the race. It was very sweet of her and she actually started crying as she wished me good luck! It made my day. When I left work I went to goodwill for some throwaway clothes, Carabbas for Italian food, and got some groceries. I was doing pretty much anything to avoid packing for the trip. I desperately wanted a few more weeks to prepare for the race (isn't that the case for every marathon ever?) I got home at 9:00 and my hubby kept reminding me that I had better start packing since I had to leave at 3:30 in the morning to catch my 6:00 flight. So I did just one more thing to procrastinate packing...I was a few days late so I took a pregnancy test. And to my shock, it read positive! Clear as day. So, in a daze of shock and confusion, I threw a bunch of stuff into a suitcase and hoped that it would be everything I needed to run a marathon. I layed in bed for 4 hours then got up and drove to the airport.
Friday, April 12
Travel was super easy and smooth. My flights were on time, no confusion, everything was just perfect. I got into Boston and got my rental car, and drove to the hotel. Got some food to eat, and just relaxed. I was bummed that the hotel wasn't really in a good running area, but in reality it didn't really matter. I kept looking back at the pic I took of the pregnancy test to make sure I read it right. There's no mistaking the result. I tried to take a little nap but spent quite a bit of time just doing nothing. Then, Friday evening I headed into the city for my first loop meetup ever! I was really excited and nervous. All the loopsters I met were amazing! It was so great to get to know them a little bit and I left feeling really excited that I got to hang out with these people all weekend! I met Brad, Maranda, Scott, Lauren, Tom, Mike and their SO's! Am I missing anyone? These people are awesome! And they made me feel like part of the group even though I don't blog much, and I know them better than they know me Went back to the hotel and slept like a baby
Satuday, April 13
Got up and went for a run on the treadmill in the sauna of a workout room at my hotel. Did 3.5 at 8.3 mph and felt good. Saturday was expo day for me, so I went and got my bib and packet and wandered around for a bit. I didn't buy anything. Weird. I stood in line to meet Kara and Shalane and got my picture with them and they signed my bib, too! Good mojo for race day. Then my mom and dad called and let me know they were in town so I met up with them, drove the course, and got some dinner. DH flew in that night too so I picked him up from the airport and we went back to the hotel room and got some sleep.
Sunday, April 14
The day before the race. Nerves are really setting in. DH and I met up with my parents and one of my friends parents (who live in the Boston area) for lunch and had a nice relaxing afternoon. Then we met with some more loopsters for dinner and drinks (N/A for me!). I met some more amazing people on Sunday and I'm not even going to try to name them all. I know I'd miss some. But, that night I met Monk, Jacclyn, Erin, Bonnie, and others! Then some of us went to a bar a chatted for a little longer before calling it an early night.
Monday, April 15
Race Day. I got to the busses later than I'd like and waited in line for a while. But I finally made it into Hopkinton and found the group and chilled for a little bit before we made the walk to the starting line. We made one final stop at6 the portapotties and found our spots. Maranda and I were in the same corral so we got to start together. I loved that it worked out that way! It was so awesome to start with her and even though we had different game plans for the race and went our separate ways once we crossed the timing mat, it was so awesome to wait in the corral with her. I had a good feeling that despite her injury, she'd make it through just fine.
The start went well and I was just cruising downhill. The pace of the crowd worked out perfectly with my race plan so I just went with the flow and enjoyed the crowds, sunshine, and soaked in the fact that I was running Boston and feeling good.
I looked for Lauren at the 10k but missed her. I guess she was a bit earlier than I expected. Big bummer. I saw my fam at mile 7 though and gave them a wave, a smile, and kept trucking along. I felt so fresh. The miles were flying by all the way to the halfway point when I ran through Wellesly, and saw my family again at mile 13. I was running next to someone in Michigan gear for miles and took all the cheers as my own (since that's where I'm from!) It was great. My family was even wearing Michigan yellow hats and waving a U of M flag so I could find them so the cheers fit right in with the theme of the day!
I got beyond the halfway point and was really thrilled to still be feeling good. I've been in marathons before where i didn't feel so good already by the halfway point. I passed a girl that looked to be struggling and noticed she was wearing a singlet from my alma mater, Grand Valley. I said "Hey, I'm a laker too! Go get 'em!" as I passed her and figured I'd never see her again. Just as quick as the hills came, the wall hit me as well. I was hoping for a second wind, and just kept trucking along. I knew it would happen eventually, I was just hoping it would be way later! I saw my family again at 20, and just gave them that look of desperation that I still had a 10k left to run. They cheered me on and told me to stay strong and keep going.
I remember almost nothing from the last 10k. It felt good to go downhill again, but my pace was slowing drastically. I was just trying to survive. I got passed my the girl from my college again around 24 miles and that stung. I just followed the crowds and continued on my way toward Boylston street. I finally turned the corner and ran in to the finish line. Honestly, all that was keeping me going at this point was thinking about running a BQ while pregnant. Yes, I know 5 weeks doesn't really count, but sometimes you have to play mind games with yourself. I finished, and felt horrible. I walked though and got my medal, water, food, and waited in line for my bag.
The bag collection was really, really disorganized, and I stood there forever. Bangle found me and we talked about our races a little bit. He said that I was gonna need to be more assertive if I was ever gonna get my bag and so I took his advice. And what do you know? He was right! I got my bag and we wandered over toward the family meet up area. I saw my family and told Bangle I'd meet them over at the "L". That never happened. As I was telling my family about the race, there was a loud sound and my husband said it just didn't sound right. I decided to get back to the hotel and meet up with the loopsters later that night. As we were driving away, we saw countless ambulances, police, and other vehicles storming back toward the race. It was very disheartening. Then I started getting the texts and realizing what had happened. I got back to the hotel and turned on the news and sat there for 5 hours staring at the TV in disbelief. No way did this happen. This is some kind of sick joke. Am I awake? Why Boston? Why the Boston Marathon? This is supposed to be a day of celebration. It's a day where people who don't even know each other unite and share something very real and special. Just for that day. WHY??? I couldn't answer my own questions, but I attempted to answer all the texts, facebook mesages, and phone calls from people back home. I felt numb. It was a relief to hear back from everyone I knew, but at the same time, I knew so many others wouldn't. I know life isn't fair but this kind of thing should never happen.
I sat there thinking about the child that I am going to bring into this world in December. I thought about how unfair it was that they have to come into a world where things like this happen. How do you protect a child from this kind of thing? And how do you teach them that despite the bad, that there is so much good out there? How do you make sure that they become the good and not the bad? I still don't know the answers to these questions. All I can do is to show as much love as possible. I can show that as a group of runners, as a group of human beings, we will overcome the darkness shown on that day and be stronger than those terrorists ever thought we could be.
I want so badly to run in Boston again next year. I'm worried that my 3:33 won't be good enough though. I don't know what to do to try to improve on that though. I've contemplated running a June marathon, but by then I'll be in the beginning of my second trimester. I'm just not thinking I'll be able to improve on my time. Any ideas?
Thanks for making it all the way through this! I know it was long and scattered. Thanks also for all the love and support you all have shown in the last 3 weeks. The loop is indeed an amazing community!

2011, ACTE Global Education Conference, New York City April 10 – 12
The Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE) has chosen New York City as the site of its spring Global Educational Conference, April 10 -12, 2011. According to a statement issued by ACTE's Executive Director Ron DiLeo, "We have been evaluating a number of cities for our spring conference but New York has everything. It is one of the world's foremost international cities and many of our members and conference attendees who come from around the world also have offices in or near the city that they can visit as part of their trip to our conference. And you can fly to New York directly from more places around the world than just about anywhere. It is a logical choice for a major, global industry meeting designed to cut travel time, and time away from the office." The Marriott Marquis Times Square will be the venue hosting the conference.
ACTE's educational team, in coordination with the conference planning committee, will focus a great deal of their work on creating highly interactive sessions that will include several new and provocative discussion and learning programs.
"Be Smart. Be Hip. Be Seen. is more than a theme for our spring conference. It is our battle cry to the industry to drive change and innovation. The time has come to breath the life back into the business travel management profession with new approaches, new strategies, and new information," said DiLeo. "ACTE's attitude about everything going forward and into the 2011 educational calendar is, Be smart (educated and informed), be hip (progressive thinking and in-the-know), and be seen (network and grow). Our industry needs new material and ACTE is going to lead that charge. I cannot think of better place to kick off that level of thought leadership next year than New York, one of the world's premier business and financial centers and a place where people make things happen."
Additional information about the ACTE Global Education Conference in New York will be posted on www.acte.org as it becomes available.

My review of the successes in implementing the 2010-12 Strategic Plan was tabled in the House of Representatives on 21 August 2012 and is now available on the NHMRC website. This review, under section 17(2) of the National Health and Medical Research Council Act 1992, outlines NHMRC's achievements and activities against the objectives of the 2010-12 Strategic Plan.
The report showcases significant outcomes for NHMRC in the Triennium, which also saw NHMRC celebrate 75 years of contribution to the health of Australians. NHMRC's international symposium Research for a healthy future drew attendance from the Heads of International Research Organisations around the world, including the National Institutes of Health, the United Kingdom Medical Research Council, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Wellcome Trust and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. This provided an opportunity for some of the upcoming researchers in Australia to hear directly from those leaders about the health challenges of the coming decades.
Over the past three years, NHMRC has continued to administer the Medical Research Endowment Account to ensure that the best research and the best researchers in Australia were funded.
NHMRC has entered into strong international collaborations to improve research funding policy and to meet global health challenges such as the International Cancer Genome Consortium and the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases. Our role in providing evidence based health advice and to ensure that health research and practice occurs in a strong ethical framework has continued.
None of the many achievements set out in the report would have been possible without the leadership and contribution of the Council of NHMRC, its Principal and Working Committees, staff of the NHMRC and the thousands of researchers who take part in peer review processes each year.

Energy utility AGL has signalled that it expects coal-fired power stations will be the winners from the changing dynamics in the national electricity market as the string of gas export projects in Queensland start up over the next 18 months or so.
Along with ending Queensland exporting electricity south of the border, it could also see NSW ship electricity north, while also resulting in some gas-fired power stations being shut down.
AGL bought Victoria's Loy Yang A power station in 2012 and on Wednesday agreed to pay the NSW government $1.5 billion for the largest power company in the national electricity market, Macquarie Generation.
It also launched a $1.2 billion share issue to part-fund the purchase, with shares to be offered on the ratio of one-for-five, priced at a steep 23 per cent discount of $11 a share.
Macquarie Generation operates two power stations in the Hunter Valley - Bayswater and Liddell. In assessing their outlook, AGL said it is prepared to shut Liddell in 2017 if Rio Tinto and CSR decide to close the nearby Tomago aluminium smelter. Even though this supply contract extends to 2022, it is up for review in 2017.
AGL chief executive Michael Fraser said delays to the start-up of Queensland's gas export projects has pushed down the price of gas and electricity in the domestic spot market, and also resulted in Queensland generators exporting as much as 1300 megawatts of electricity into NSW.
But this flow will reverse as the Queensland gas projects start-up, absorbing much of the surplus electricity generated in Queensland.
"Delays in the LNG projects is causing that glut in gas, and we expect improvement in wholesale power prices" to follow the projects' start-up, Mr Fraser said.
Queensland is exporting about 1000 megawatts of electricity a day to NSW, but that will end and instead NSW will commence exporting 300 megawatts a day to Queensland.
"That's a 1300 megawatt turnaround, and then with the Wallerawang removal [following the power station's shutdown by EnergyAustralia] we see a progressive increase in wholesale [electricity] prices in the medium term as these factors play out."
In assessing the price to pay for Macquarie Generation, about half of the value lies in low-priced coal supply contracts, he said, which extend for another decade, while it assumed no value for the older Liddell power station.
"We see Liddell as very much tied to the future of Tomago," Mr Fraser said.
In the year to June, AGL posted a net profit of $570 million, up 52 per cent, as earnings per share rose 50 per cent to 102.2¢. A steady 33¢-a-share final dividend has been declared.
Earnings were pressured by weak energy demand due to the unseasonably warm winter in 2013 and again for much of 2014, energy efficiency and the increased use of solar systems, which will continue to weigh on wholesale energy markets over the next few years.
Mr Fraser said he expects no change to the renewable energy target as a result of the federal government's review, although some delay in achieving it is anticipated.

I had open rhinoplasty, my tip was narrowed, i have thin skin. The question is, will the tip of the nose get smaller and will it go up a little (i wish that soo much), or it will "fall" down after time? Thank you for help...
Nose Tip, Will It Turn Down After Few Months? (photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Nose tip, will it turn down after a few months?
In general, 70% of the swelling is resolved after the first 3 months and the remainder goes down over time. Swelling may be influenced by the following: Whether the procedure was open or closed, whether the procedure was a revision, the thickness of the patient's skin, and whether or not tip work was performed.The final result may not be evident for 18-24 months after surgery. The nose will continue to improve over time, and the tip is usually the last to come around. Your surgeon should be able to answer any post-operative questions you have, as they know the details of your surgery and exactly what was performed. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Early Results after Rhinoplasty
Thank you for your question. With rhinoplasty, patience is a virtue -- it's actually essential. Over time, the swelling will go down and cartilage may settle. But the final result isn't really know for at least 6 and sometimes up to 12 months.

Nose Tip, Will It Turn Down After Few Months?
If you are early after rhinoplasty, it is premature to be concerned about the final result. The swelling is going to be very prominent at this early stage. I would follow with your surgeon. Kenneth Hughes, MD

Hello little fairy-
Nasal tips typically get smaller with time, especially in first couple months, but the process continues for almost a year. So do any squeezing or massaging techniques that your surgeon recommends. Regarding your nasal tip, it might appear to raise a little with time or possibly also drop a little depending on many variable, but especially on how it was fixed to the septum during surgery.
Your 7day postop nose looks good in this one photo. The main thing that I would like to see change with time is the thickness and drooping of your columella. this frequently occurs with open techniques as the scar is thick, but with time and massage, it shold dramatically improve. If it doesn't, it may well be due to cartilages (medial crura in this area) getting bowed. This would need to be corrected surgically.
Enjoy the fruits of your surgeon's labor and give it time!

Maybelline Great Lash mascara isn't bringing greatest to my lashes
Or maybe it's Maybelline.
Either way friends, I need your help. Here's the deal: Every so often, I spot various versions of Maybelline mascara on those best-makeup-you-could-possibly-ever-own lists. Even some celebs who can afford way more expensive products herald this veteran drugstore brand. I had tried it before without loving it, but there's a recession and CVS is closer than the mall, so I decided to give a basic pink tube of Great Lash Washable Mascara another whirl.
I wish I'd saved my six bucks.
The wand leaves all sorts of black goop on my lashes. The mascara bleeds in the heat. It does separate my lashes in a pretty way, but I still have to deal with the first two problems.
Am I missing some secret greatness? Does someone want to set me straight, or have you had similar "Great Lash" experiences? Most importantly, can someone please recommend to me their can't-live-without mascara brand? I don't have enough petty cash to keep testing stinkers.

BOCA RATON, FL - FAU head coaches Mike Jarvis and Joan Joyce both made history this weekend.
On Friday night, Coach Joyce was inducted into her 11th Hall of Fame. This was the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) and her induction video included several other NFCA Hall of Fame members as well as many of her former players.
It was Coach Jarvis' turn on Saturday, as he led the FAU men's basketball team to an 83-63 win over Jacksonville to become the winningest men's basketball in school history. Earlier today, senior Pablo Bertone added to the achievements by becoming the first FAU basketball player to be named Conference USA Player of the Week.
While football was not invited to a bowl game, the fact that the team was even bowl eligible is in and of itself a tremendous accomplishment. It was even more remarkable considering all the turmoil the team had to endure in the middle of the season.
I think it's safe to say these are just the first of many historic accomplishments for the athletic department in the near future.

ITheDeceiver strives for unique sound
April 24, 2013
Filed under Entertainment, Music
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Many local bands in Fresno are fans of metal, but that leads to an oversaturation of the genre. While Fresno-born band ITheDeceiver doesn't necessarily believe it to be true, they still strive to be different.
From the beginning, the band was different. Usually artists are influenced by other bands or great music to want to play.
Guitarist Charlie Robbins wanted to pick up an instrument from the video game "Guitar Hero." Vocalist JJ Simpson was inspired by the movie "Fantasia," playing a sequence from "the dinosaur scene" on a toy piano until his mother bought him a real keyboard when he was 5.
ITheDeceiver formed after band members Robbins and Simpson kicked several bandmates out of their former band, "Boy Meets World" and then brought on good friends Josh Riojas on guitar, drummer Chris Darling and bassist Jeffrey Keenan to the dynamically changing metal band we know today.
When the time came to find a new band name, Robbins texted Simpson with names like Erebus and other unsuitable-for-newspaper names.
The band looked to their song "Idols" and the lyrics, "I, the deceiver," stuck.
The band jokes that they hate the name now since it can cause confusion. Robbins even ordered business cards with the correct divergent spelling.
"We should've picked The Cleansing when we had the chance," said Simpson. Since then their chemistry has been fun and brutal.
"We all act like we hate each other," said Keenan, describing that they barely argue, if ever.
Band life melds well into the member's lives. They tell stories of Robbins sending out "homework" of new material and wanting drumsets in their dream living rooms.
Very proud of their choice of the metal genre, the members established a need to stand out from the typical breakdowns. Consequently, it is difficult for them to define their sound to others.
The band's music holds an eclectic appeal ranging from nuances of eerie piano keys in their song "Eden" to grinding chords mixed with latin jazz in their recently released "Empires."
"I tell [people] it's technical metal, but here's the curve ball: we have latin jazz parts or swing parts from the '30s," said Robbins.
Seeing that fun and talented diversity live brings out the energy in venues. Especially when their fan base includes friends at heart. On ITheDeceiver's Facebook and Twitter accounts, it's hard to distinguish between people who love their music and those who actually know them well.
Playing for friends, mastering their talent and making music is just what the five-piece defines as success, regardless of how much albums sell and how many fans they have.
ITheDeceiver's next show hits April 26 in San Jose. If you can't make the drive, the band is in Fresno at CYC on May 18.
Their next album, "Sentient," is scheduled to be released in September of this year.

Even if you have already played the original, in Japanese or through a fan translation, this one offers new content in the form of new sidequests, a new interface, and an optional new soundtrack by director Shoji Meguro. This post also offers new content: screens in the gallery below, and a trailer after the break.
Persona 2: Innocent Sin was the first game in Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei series to drop the traditional first-person dungeons in favor of a third-person viewpoint. Like the other Personas, it's all about cool high school kids negotiating (and fighting) with demons and discovering their powerful "Persona" alter egos. In this one, students at Seven Sisters High School find that rumors start mysteriously coming true in their hometown of Sumaru City, including the rumor that if you call your own cell phone number, a demon called the Joker appears and grants a wish. Being teenagers, the kids decide to wisely avoid tempting fate.
Just kidding.

A friend passed on some photos last week of SH from a game fishing trip while we were living in Broome. I hadn't seen them for a long long time but they bring back such memories. I am sure SH and his mate Ian are sitting back somewhere sharing a beer and reminiscing about the ones that didn't get away! How lucky we are they had this opportunity before they were both lost far too soon and how lucky we are to be bake to share these memories.

Crikey, that is some big fish! This is why I shall always prefer proper photos as opposed to those kept on the computer. I have some of my Dad and other relatives that have passed, around the house and we can look at them at any time and remember when they were taken.
