" Brand: Boots / Type: Eyeshadows / Suitable for: Eye / What it does: Smoothes, "
This is an excellent product. Apply under your eye shadow and it really helps it stay there all day. It also seems to make the eye shadow colour more even and a little more vibrant as it is going onto a smoother block of colour. The product also helps avoid eye shadow seeping into the folds in the eye lid. The colour blends into my skin and it looks as if I'm not wearing it. One note: the eye base is quite similar to my skin tone anyway. If you had darker skin tones, the product may stand out - something to consider.
It retails for £7 which can seem expensive, but I've had mine for well over a year now and there is still plenty left. Also, it can be purchased when boots have their "£5 off No7" offers. Also, it may be cheaper to invest in this and get away with buying cheaper eye shadows.
One drawback is that the applicator seems a bit cheap and fiddly to get in and out of the container - I use a separate applicator and throw it away every now and then for hygiene reasons.
To help you find it in the store, consider if now looks different - the product has been repackaged in white.
This base is creamy and very easy to apply. The creamy formula helps the base to slide onto your eyes, sliding on with ease and precision. You can apply the base with the brush included in the case, or you can apply the base simply by using your fingertips. The base is a neutral colour, very natural looking. You apply the base first then you apply your eyeshadow over the top of it.
I find that my eyeshadow is easy to apply over the base. It glides on easily and the base helps it to stay on. With this base my eyeshadow lasts a LOT longer compared to using my eyeshadow alone (without the base). Even in hot weather my eyeshadow stays on and it doesn't crease either. I would recommend this base to everyone as it's easy to use and easy to apply. It's also fragrance free and it doesn't irritate the eyes in any way. The eyes are a delicate area but No. 7 have created a delicate formula for this base. It's not too bad in value either and you can buy it either instore or online. I bought mine with a £5 off voucher and I only had to put £2 to it, which wasn't bad.
It helps your eyeshadow to stay on, it helps your eyeshadow to stay crease-free and it's easy to remove at the end of the day. One small pot lasts a good while too as you only need a small amount per application.
Well worth the money.
I always like to wear some form of colour on my eyes, natural colours during the day then a little wilder on nights out. After a few hours of wearing eye shadow, they start to crease and disappear leaving my eye lids looking smudged and greasy. To combat this, I read that using a base for the eyes will help hold the eye shadow in place and make the colours look more vivid and longer lasting. So my search began. I initially went to some expensive make up counters and tried different products, then seeing a three for two offer on no 7 products, I decided to have a look there. I spotted this little number and bought it along with two other products so I could take advantage of the promotion. The base advertises that it, "smooths and brightens." This sounded exactly what I was looking for.
The compact looks good value for money. It comes in a smart little box with an application brush. At first glance you would think this was a peach coloured eye shadow. The little application wand is of the same style as most other no 7 eye palettes. It is curved to fit the palette and is extremely small making it hard to hold. The sponge tip is firm and pointed making it extremely difficult to pick up the powder. Even you do manage to pick up a bit of the powder it is then exceedingly difficult to transfer it on to the eyes! Luckily I have an assortment of brushes to use. The powder goes on very smoothly. It feels delicious as it coats the eye; creamy and light. I was worried it would feel quite heavy but this is not the case. The colour is a subtle bright peach shade. It's a refreshing shade and could be worn alone if you wanted to master the natural look. When applying an eye shadow on top it makes the colour go on better, providing a smooth base to create some great looks. I honestly do not think it does anything to make the colour last longer or prevent it from creasing, however. As this was my original reason for purchase I was a little disappointed with it. I still use the product though
I love this product! I've been using this eye base for about 3 months now, I got it as I was in need of a new primer for my eyes, so I thought I would try this one out as many of my friends recommended it to me and I did, so surprisingly I had a £5 No7 voucher and so I got this and it was originally £7.75 but I only paid £2.75 as I had £5 off.
So within the first use I noticed a complete difference in my eyes. It actually made my eyes look brighter, I don't know how but they looked so much healthier and brighter and when I applied eyeshadow on top of it, it stayed on all day! I have never found a primer which actually works for me like this one! It has such a creamy consistency as well, so it applies very easily on the eyelid and it hides under eyeshadow so it is completely un-noticeable. It comes in lovely packaging and comes with a small eye sponge which comes in handy when applying this product! If you have a £5 voucher for No7 from purchasing something from Boots, I really recommend you go into Boots and get this product as it is incredible! Even when using the most powdery eyeshadows, it still works so that is really good!
I have no disadvantages for this product as I absolutely adore it and I will continue purchasing this!
This is a fantastic little product from the Boots No.7 range of make up. It doesn't actually brighten your eyes, but it does brighten your eye make up. It comes in a small pot the same size as a single shade eye shadow, although, strangely, my pot is white and not black as that pictured above.
It is not a powder, like eye shadows, but a creme. Looking at it in the pot it looks quite a dark pinky colour, but when you apply it it blends into your skin colour and is barely noticable. Except that is when you only do one eye. I did, just to compare the difference. On your eyelid it has the effect of literally brightening your skin and bringing the skin tone on your eyelids into line with the rest of your face, if, like me, your eyelids usually look darker.
However, the product is not designed to be worn on its own, it's like foundation for eyes. You apply your normal eye shadow over the top. With the base on, the colours in your eye shadow become much more vibrant, and more true to the colour they actually are in the pot. I know this, because, as I have said I have used the base on one eye only, for the purposes of consumer review, you understand - I did not actually go out that way!
There is a tiny little applicator inside the pot with a sponge on the end of it. Emphasis on tiny. It is almost impossible to pick up with your fingers, you have to tip it out. Then it is so small it become awkward to put the creme onto the sponge and just as awkward to apply to your eye. I find it much easier to use a finger to do both and the creme goes on just as well.
The creme does not melt in hot conditions, as some cremes are wont to do, and therefore your eye make remains fresh for an entire evening, instead of looking like its run off to hide in the creases of your eyelid half way through the night.
I love this product. It is well worth the £7.75 cost.
I bought this when I had one of the £5 No7 till splits so it was quite good value. However, I do think it would be incredibly expensive for the amount of product you get.
The packaging is white unlike the rest of the sophisticated black No.7 products which does look a bit cheap. It is nice and small so easy to transport or fit into your makeup bag. It comes with an applicator but I find this useless, applying it with your finger spreads the product evenly and provides a nice base for eyeshadow. It's smooth and easy to apply and a little goes a wrong way.
It does prolong the staying power of your eyeshadow, but it doesnt work very well with loose pigment eyeshadows. It stops creasing and brings out colours, particularly shimmery shadows.
I do find that it brightens my eye area and for this I think it is definately worth buying. It also conceals undereye circles which is a bonus. It is a great started eye primer and although expensive for the high street, is cheap compared to the high end brands. The pot does last a while as the product goes quite a long way.
This is a product produced by No 7. The product can be used under eyeshadows as a base to allow them to last longer or it can be used on its own as an eye shadow which brightens your eyes. This is £7.50 and comes with its own small applicator.
I generally don't use a base under my eyeshadows as I think they last quite a long time anyway and I'm not that fussed about having to re apply anyway. But I bought this over a year ago with one of my No 7 £5 vouchers, so it only cost £2.50.
This is a cream product which smooths really easily onto your eyelids. It is a really nice colour - light pinky. When I use this cream it does help my eyeshadow remain on for longer. I don't have to re apply. It also makes the colour of it more intense, presumably as your eyelid is slightly wet when you apply the shadow. This works really well with glittery eyeshadows as it helps keep it on your eye lid (and not your cheek) and the colour is intensified.
You can also use this on its own which I have did a few times as it makes your eyes look really bright and fresh, great after a late night or for a Monday morning! It has a nice texture and does not crease in your eyelids like many of the cream shadows.
I would give this a try, especially if you have a spare No 7 £5 voucher left to use!
I have a job that requires me to look presentable for up to 19 hours and this is definately a product that helps!
Before I bought this product, I used to have to reapply my eyeshadow every few hours as it used to miraculously vanish!
Not anymore, now not only does my eyeshadow stay on for much longer, it is also easier to apply over this base.
You apply it before your eyeshadow and it does feel very luxurious and makes your eye lids feel lovely and smooth.
When on days off, when I dont need to look so glam, I wear it on its own with some mascara as it is a light pink shade and looks very natural yet giving a flawless look for tired eyes.
At £7.50 it may seem expensive for something to go under your make up, however No.7 always have deals on whether it be 'buy 3 products for the price 2' or Boots do often give vouchers out with £5 off No.7 products which makes it a bargain.
I used to have a make up bag full of numerous useless products, but now I only have a few things I love and this eye base is definately a must have or a try atleast. Its good value for money and lasts forever.
Well what can i say..This has got to be the best make up item i have bought in the last twelve months !!
I was in recipt of the No7 £5.00 off voiucher and it was the last day the voucher could be used , so i scanned the shelves and found this fantastic item ive never looked at before. And at atotal rrp of around £6/ 8 i was extreemly suprised how i wouldnt be without it now.
It is so simple to use the applicator is perfect for its use too.
I apply the eye base that is really smooth and goes a long way onto my eyelids , and already i look alot better for it , even when ive worke dhard all week and have an hangover!!
Once you place any type of eyeshadow ontop it stays put for many hours so fantastic for everyday use or evening wear / holidays etc.
This works ideally on those shimmer eyeshadows we all purchase and the dust falls off everywhere this product underneath is essential to keep it put., and no need to re apply.
The tiny cute pot it comes in fits in your pocket / handbag easily and i would definately recommend this cheap must have item to any ladies who have tired eyes or wear eyeshadow .
One thing that has plagued me my whole life is the fact that the skin around my eyes has always looked bruised and dark. It means I look tired or ill when really all I've done is forget to put makeup on, and it wears a bit thin when you realise that people think your natural appearance is akin to a beaten wife or drug addict.
When I first picked this up, it was with the intention of using it simply as a concealer as that is what I thought it was, but have discovered more recently that it is fantastic as a base underneath eye makeup.
As a simple base with nothing on top, I found it made my eyes look fresher and less bruised. It saved the need for foundation in the day, which in turn meant I could go for a much more natural made up face, with just a little base on my lids up to my brows. Because of the nature of this product, it didn't slip or collect in the creases after a couple of hours like a simple concealer does.
Under eye makeup it performs pretty well too. It gives you a nice area to apply your makeup to, smoother and much easier to apply accurately if you are going for a complex look. I found it nicer under a powder than under a cream shadow, but I have a bias towards powder as it is my preferred make up anyway. I do think the powder lasts longer than the cream even with this primer underneath. A full day for powder and maybe half with a cream.
Colours are definitely more vibrant, so be aware when you are applying not to add too much or you'll find you need to wipe it off and start again, which isn't a problem if you consider that the base comes off well with a wipe or makeup remover, but is a problem if you are in a hurry.
I prefer to apply this with my fingers, so the brush is a little superfluous, you get a more even coverage and it's quicker without it.
It's not a cheap product at £7.50, but I think that it is something that will last a while, mine has been in use for a few months and there is still lots left. The quality of the finish makes it a make up must have in my house. You still get your Boots Advantage points, and there are always great promotional offers on the No. 7 range, at the moment it's 3 for 2 but they often hand out £5 off vouchers or extra points with your purchase, so if you time it right you can get this handy little cream for next to nothing.
Apply eyeshadow over the eye base to intensify the colour and allow the shadow application to last longer /

Arsenal defender Andre Santos charged with dangerous driving
Scotland Yard have confirmed Arsenal defender Andre Santos has been charged with dangerous driving and could face two-years in jail if his case goes to the Crown Court and he is found guilty.
The 29-year-old was caught driving recklessly by police just a couple of miles away from the club's training ground in August.
Santos, speeding at around 130 miles per hour, was allegedly driving his Maserati GranTurismo when he was pulled over by officers.
The Brazilian will be handed his punishment at Hendon Magistrates' Court on September 27.
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman confirmed: 'Andre Santos, 29, of East Finchley, north London, has been charged with dangerous driving and driving without due care and attention on August 17th this year in Mill Hill, north west London.'
Santos, who is believed to own several lavish cars, has made 16 appearances for the Gunners since signing from Turkish side Fenerbahce last summer for £5.5million, but has found himself second choice to Kieran Gibbs in the left-back position so far this year.

We are really sorry to hear that your frustration is raising. I have shared your feedback with the rest of the team, and I can assure you that we are working towards the goals you have set as well. Let me answer your questions:
1) Jockem is quite right, so big thanks to him! In addition, we are slowly getting 3.x out of the web site, but we cannot do it at once. There are still many many people that use 3.x, plus, we are still supporting it.
2) We are not looking forward to change the API in the near future. We will not do it even for the 5 version. Minor changes to the model can be done, but we will mark the old classes as obsolete. They will still work, but better alternatives will exist.
3) Thanks for the note on the OpenAccess. Our work with OpenAccess is constantly getting easier and the product is improving. The guys from OA team will be happy to receive your feedback, and I have sent it to them.
4) We have already started to provide examples from Sitefinity itself. In our next SDK version in December, we will provide step by step tutorial on building the Content type Builder module itself. I suggest you, if you like something and need its source, just write back to us and request it.
5) Point taken.
6) This is in the plans. We might be able to do it for 4.4 in December.
Once again, thanks for your feedback.
We will provide a KB article on how to create multipage forms, this is currently in progress. As for the File Uploader, of course that there is a solution now. We will just make it better, with support for cropping, resize-ing and so on, so that the content editors can have more control on the uploaded images.

The lights are on
Core team member from the Devil May Cry series have been working on Capcom's open-world RPG for some time now, but how close will this Japanese team get to emulating Kingdoms of Amalur's – or even Skyrim's – success? We take a peek at the game's first 15 minutes.
Dragon's Dogma hits North America on May 22 and Europe on May 25. Check out our TGS preview of the game here.
Email the author Ben Reeves, or follow on Twitter, Google+, Facebook, and Game Informer.
I'm gatting a Raging Dragon in my pants.
If you listen closely when the dragon is falling from the sky, the audio sound for the harpes are that of the Giaprey from Monster Hunter.
This game looks amazing but I don't know if I will buy it because I still have to finish KoA: Reckoning
The game looks good just don't think it's my style...
The combat looks levels above anything you can do in Skyrim.
Looks okay. The HUD is way too full of worthless info like what the buttons do and what the pawns are saying but I imagine allthat is optional. Not sure how I feel about the pawns either. Not a huge fan of AI controlled teammates.
I really want this game to be good. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait to see what the overall reaction to it is before I run out and buy it at launch.
That was one large dragon. Also, I guess I don't watch enough of these since I found it odd to not have commentary!

The happiest of birthdays to my sweet baby girl. We celebrated yesterday with a party with family. It was a lovely party and Katherine had a wonderful time. She enjoyed being the center of attention and really thought that cake was something great! I love this chalkboard created by a friend of mine because it will help me remember those finer details about my 4th 1 year old that might have otherwise been forgotten.
I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. I am sure I have said that before on this blog and I assure you - this will not be the last time either. I can't decide if it is because we are so busy with four kiddos and two full time + jobs or if is because I am getting older or both! Whatever it is, it leaves me feeling so bittersweet about this birthday. Good bye babydom. . .hello toddlerhood. And that is the final good bye to babydom. The end of an era. . .
In general, I don't get too worked up over birthdays, first days of school, and the like. I do think it does invite some time of reflection as to where you have been and where you are headed. But as I tell my children, there are advantages and disadvantages at every age. I would argue that is true for parents of kiddos too - there are advantages and disadvantages of having kiddos at any age. But look at those four kiddos in that picture above - when I was clicking through the pictures that I had taken from this party - my heart swelled when I saw this picture. How full and blessed our life is. That daily grind that we all live and breathe sometimes causes me to lose focus on that big picture - that 30,000 foot view. I am lost in attempting fair and consistent consequences that I forget that I have amazing and well behaved kiddos. In the running to and from activities, getting responsibilities done, and getting kiddos off to bed, I forget to see the big personalities these little humans are developing. This photo brought that back for me. What a fantastic group of kiddos. . . and I love them dearly.
Sweet Katherine was so dainty as she began to eat this cake. Delicately picking off eat little pink dot. She enjoyed the frosting - but it took her awhile to find her way to a more aggressive tactic.
As you can see - she found it! :) Ben came over to say hello to her while she was enjoying her cake and she took the hand she is showing the camera here and patted him on the head.
Phew! This cake eating is exhausting! :)
Bye bye! My dad is taking me off for bath!

The Soccer Ball That Makes Electricity During the Game
The Brilliant Idea: A soccer ball that can power an LED light, providing clean energy in developing countries.
Small-scale, hand-cranked generators that power lights and radios are practical in places where there's no electricity. But they're not a whole lot of fun. Four undergraduate students at Harvard University decided to harvest the kinetic energy of soccer, the world's most popular sport, instead. After just 15 minutes of play, their sOccket ball could provide families in sub-Saharan Africa—where less than 25 percent of the population has access to reliable electricity—with 3 hours of LED light, a clean, efficient alternative to kerosene lamps.
The mechanics are straightforward: When the sOccket rolls, a magnetic slug slides back and forth inside an inductive coil in the ball, generating power that is stored in a capacitor. Field-tested in South Africa during the World Cup, sOccket 2.0 has an embedded DC jack and weighs only 5 ounces more than a FIFA-regulated ball. A future version should hold enough juice—3.7 volts at a capacity of 600 milliamps per hour—to charge a basic cellphone. The women partnered with a manufacturer in Cape Town and hope to subsidize developing-world discounts with sales in the U.S.

I can't imagine how La Scala intends to stage An Inconvenient Truth:
La Scala officials say the Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli has been commissioned to produce an opera on the international multiformat hit for the 2011 season at the Milan opera house. The composer is currently artistic director of the Arena in Verona.
After all, the movie was basically an extended PowerPoint presentation. Are they going to put Al Gore's slides up where the libretto usually goes? And what's the plot?

WEEK 8: Need a RB? How about a tissue instead?
What I learned last week:
I wasn't so stupid after all by picking the Bears defense in the sixth round. Four straight weeks of 15-plus points. Check it!
Play the man:
Colts QB Andrew Luck. Luck is facing the Tennessee defense, which has allowed 16 touchdown passes this year.
Put him on the pine:
Any Carolina Panther. Cam Newton and the gang are in Chicago.
One BIG thought:
I took a big risk in the high-dollar league I play in this year when I drafted a defense in the sixth round. Yup. Defense. Round six. Immediately following that pick, I found myself on the end of several draft-room jabs, poking fun at me for taking a defense so high in the draft.
But this wasn't just any defense.
This was Da Bears.
You know, the old-timers, geezerville and a defense of the past.
Huh. Really?
Well, let us take a gander at the stats the old-timers have racked up over the past four games alone: 99 fantasy points for an average of nearly 25 points a game; five touchdowns that included back-to-back games of pick-sixes from both Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs;10 interceptions; four fumble recoveries, including two in the red zone in Monday night's win over Detroit and 13 sacks.
These numbers are eye-popping. Heck, the Bears' defense has outproduced many of the so-called top position players in Fantasy Football this year. Yet, I supposedly was a fool to take them so early.
I remember when, even a few years ago, never drafting a defense until the late rounds was protocol for drafting needs. I think those days are gone, evidenced by the Bears this year, the Packers last year and the Ravens and Titans a few years ago.
There's a lot of money at stake in this high-dollar league I'm in, and drafting smart each round is essential, but taking risks may be the X-Factor. This year's X-Factor may be a group of oldies but goodies, and they rest comfortable in the Vegas Sinners' lineup each week, racking up points the way Michael Vick racks up turnovers. Snap!
Two smaller thoughts:
■ I'm hoping for a decent game from Rashad Jennings this week with Arian Foster on a bye. While on the "hope train," I really hope Trent Richardson can play at the level he was playing before his rib injury. Dear Santa ...
■ I was stunned to see Chris Johnson do what he did last week. I've been a CJ2K hater all year. This doesn't change my mind at all. Do that twice in a row, then we'll talk.

My husband has business in Hong Kong next week, so I'm going along for the ride. I'll be spending my days and meals solo, for the most part, and was wondering if this would be comfortable in some of the higher end restauants? I love to take myself to a nice place in NYC or SF and sit at the bar and have a fantastic meal, but would this be strange in HKG? Also, are there any more high-end places that you would recommend? I want to eat as much Chinese cuisine while I'm there. Is Chinese cuisine more of a low-brow cuisine or are there nicer restauarants? I have no idea what to expect but am looking forward to the adventure!
Also - I assume it will be just fine to dine on my own in more low-end places (noodle shops, dim sum, etc) - as I would be in and out quickly and likely wouldn't be the only person eating by him/her self. Is this accurate?

- How to Read a Study Record
Amiodarone is considered to be the most effective antiarrhythmic drug in the prevention of persistent atrial fibrillation. It can however cause many adverse events, both cardiac and non-cardiac. Long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm after cardioversion is difficult especially because of high recurrence rates during the first month after cardioversion. Duration of atrial fibrillation, type of underlying disease, left ventricular function, left atrial size and age are associated with maintaining sinus rhythm. Early recurrence of atrial fibrillation may be related to a highly arrhythmogenic period due to recovery from electrical remodelling. Late recurrences may be related to other triggers than recovery from electrical remodelling. In this study the investigators want to investigate the effect of amiodarone withdrawal on the occurrence of late relapses of persistent atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, the investigators want to investigate the effect of amiodarone withdrawal on the occurrence of amiodarone related adverse events as well as adverse events related to atrial fibrillation or underlying heart disease. The investigators also want to investigate which patients characteristics are and potential triggers have a prognostic value in the occurence of late relapses after amiodarone withdrawal.

Hwange National Park – Art supporting wildlife conservation
Thank you to all the people and organizations that have supported Hwange National Park over the years. It is very saddening when we loose some of our animals, for whatever reason, but we have to move forward and focus our efforts on maintaining the animals we still have and supporting the Park as a whole so it is there for not only our children, and their children, but also for future generations of animals. Our wildlife deserves and has the right to live free and safe in the African bush. Hopefully one day soon sanity will prevail and us humans will manage the planet without greed and corruption!
The Trustees of FOH are proud to inform all donors that 100% of donated money is used in the Park for the good of the animals. The Trust does not incur any running expenses outside of the Park and all work done by the Trustees is done so on a voluntary basis.
This year especially, and indeed most years, we are desperate to raise money to keep the Park going and to help make sure that the hundreds of thousands of animals living in the Park have enough water and are as secure as possible.
Our work in the Park is multifaceted and includes water supply, pan & road maintenance, fireguards, repairing erosion, animal rescue and deployment of anti-poaching units. We do all of these things and still find time to help people who have vehicle problems or just want advice on where best to find the elusive cats and dogs (elephant are not that hard to find in the dry season!)

Copyright 2002, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.By John PG Hopkins (the writer, not the racer)AMA 250cc Grand Prix regular Ed Sorbo made the long haul from Laguna Seca to compete at Mosport last weekend and found the trek to be well worth the effort. The Redlands, California resident won the regional Pro 250cc GP event, breaking his own lap record in the process, and placed third in the fourth round of the Diablo Paintballs Can-Am 125cc GP Series.
Sorbo's 125cc performance was particularly impressive as this was his first-ever race action on a 125. He rode a Honda owned by series organizer John Bickle that had been damaged in a crash at the previous series round in Grattan, MI.
Sorbo made the repairs and fitted Bridgestone tires. With no practice or timed qualifying Sorbo was forced to start from the back of his heat race grid. He made it up to sixth in the qualifier, putting him on the outside of row three for the 12-lap feature.In the main event Sorbo rose impressively to lead a seven-bike mob disputing third place and held off veteran 125cc ace Jim Struke for the final podium spot."On the last lap I goofed in Moss's [turn 5] and we were side by side up the backstraight," Sorbo explained. "I had the edge off the backstraight and blocked the inside in the last turn. The bugger went outside and still almost got me."A big Mosport fan, Sorbo was all smiles after his 125cc experience. "I was more nervous before this race than I think I've ever been," Sorbo admitted. "But it was a really fun race, exciting, and everyone rode clean."Honda Canada development rider Chris Peris won the 125cc Grand Prix race.More, from a press release issued by event organizers:Forty-three riders took to the grid for Sunday's round three of the Diablo Paintball Can-Am 125GP Challenge Presented by Durmach. From the front to the back of the grid there were groups of three to seven riders battling it out the entire twelve lap race for position.Due to the large turnout for the event, there were insufficient transponders for timed qualifying and so two five lap heat races were held Saturday afternoon to set the field.In the first heat race it was a battle between series points leader Dave Wright and young gun Logan Myers for the win. Mark Gonyou challenged early but he dropped back in the last two laps leaving the battle between Myers and Wright. Wright was quicker through the corners, pulling a gap on Myers, but Myers had horsepower on Wright. Down the back straight Myers pulled the draft and pass on Wright, but Wright fought back and re-took the lead in turn eight. Myers got a good drive out of the last turn and drafted up behind Wright. Wright though had just enough to hold off Myers by a wheel at the line. Had the finish line been ten feet farther ahead the outcome may have been different.In heat race two the action was hot and fast. Again it was a two rider dogfight between factory Honda Canada rider Chris Peris and Corey Sherman. The two swapped the lead several times per lap for the first three laps, until Sherman decided to cool it and go to school on Peris. On the last lap Sherman closed up the gap in the esses of turns eight and nine and was carrying a lot of speed into the final turn when he thought up the Hail Mary pass and put his bike just under Peris, then ran it all the way out on to the rumblestrips and hold off Peris' counterattack by half a bike at the finish. "That was a ton of fun, it was anyone's race," said Peris. "Corey made a great pass, I can't wait for tomorrow, it's going to be a fantastic race."Pole was decided by the quicker of the two races, Corey Sherman took the pole with his race win in at a total time of 7:45.343 for the five lap heat, versus 7:48.496 for Dave Wright.Besides Honda Canada's Chris Peris, Ed Sorbo, currently number five in points in the AMA 250GP series made the trip to Mosport riding series organizer John Bickle's 1996 Honda RS125. Sorbo, from Redlands, California, may have had the longest tow to the track, but not far behind were Morrison, Colorado's John Hjelm and Houston, Texas' Emmit Dibble.It was Corey Sherman who took the holeshot in Sunday's twelve lap feature. With him though were Peris and Myers with Mark Gonyou, Dave Wright and Taylor Knapp just behind. As the riders exited Moss for the first time and went down the back straight the sound of those 43 125s echoed throughout the entire Mosport facility! Logan Myers was the leader as the riders completed lap two, getting the drive out of Moss and down the back straight to do the draft and pass into the lead. Sherman was having nothing of it though as he would battle back and retake the lead on lap three. The top three riders were trying to check out from the field, but series points leader Dave Wright who had his head down, had separated himself from Gonyou and Knapp and was within five bike lengths of the lead trio. Chris Peris made his way to the front and took his turn on point coming of the back straight on lap three. As the lead four battled there way around the track on lap four Myers went to make the pass for second around Sherman and the two came into contact. Sherman went off into the grass at over 140 kilometers an hour yet managed to save it and continue on in fourth. Myers continued on but would tuck the front three corners later in turn five, taking points leader Wright with him. "We were turning a good pace when Logan lost the front going into Moss," said Wright after the race. "I had a choice of hitting him or his bike. I hit his rear wheel and went down, I think I broke my collarbone."Perris now had a two second lead on Sherman and try as he might Sherman could never get the lead down under one and a half seconds even though he was running laps at or near the new 125 lap record of 1:30.792.The battle for third through ninth was a classic 125 scrap. Ed Sorbo, Mark Gonyou, Taylor Knapp, Jim Struke, John Hjelm, Jeff Chen and Yvan Desi all swapped positions in a race-long battle. Sorbo and Struke, who both did not get the best of starts, had to battle their way from the back of the top 10 up to third and fourth. As they made their way to the checkers it was a near photo finish, but Sorbo was just able to hold off Struke for the final podium position. "I think that for next year they need to move the finish line up about 10 feet," said Struke. "If it would have been there, I think I would have had third.""That race was unbelievably intense!" said Sorbo on the podium. "I can't think of a race where I had that many guys to race with. If you got by one, there was someone else coming up on you. On the last lap I goofed in Moss, and Struke and I were side by side all the way up the back straight. We were eyeballing each other out the side, and it just came down to having the outside by an inch on him on the turn off the back straight and tried to leave him some room. I blocked the inside going into the last turn and the sneaky bugger went around the outside! I think I held him off by a quarter inch at the line! I have to thank John Bickle for giving me the chance to come up here and run. There were just a hundred bumblebees everywhere you went. Everyone raced really well, everyone gave each other plenty of room to race, I think it was a great show!""It was a great race out there," said race winner Peris. "I felt better out there then I have all weekend. The traffic really helped me out, I was able to use them for the draft and get a bit of a lead. Corey was turning about the same lap times as me, I feel fortunate to win.""I'm happy with second today, declared Sherman. "After my off track excursion there in two Chris had a gap that I just couldn't close. At times I thought I made some ground, but it wasnt to be. But second is good, we got points towards the championship and well go on from here."Formula USA was very impressed with the show put on by the 125s and has issued an open invitation for the Diablo Paintball 125 series to run with them in 2003!Round four of the series will be August 9-11 at Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia. The series will enjoy full FIM and NAMU sanctioning for the event and is looking forward to having 12 riders from Bermuda come to the Maritime Province to join in the series. The race will also be taped for television as part of the Canadian Superbike Series.TOP 10Chris Peris, Corey Sherman, Ed Sorbo, Jim Struke, Yvan Desi, Taylor Knapp, Mark Gonyou, Jeff Chen, John Hjelm, Dave Thompson.TOP 10 POINTS1 Dave Wright 125, 2 Corey Sherman 123, 3 Mark Gonyou 99, 4 Jim Struke 90, 5 Chris Peris 86, 6 Stuart Nodell 83, 7 John Dempsey 53, 8 Matthew Dennie 49, 9 Logan Myers 45, 10 Taylor Knapp 44Full results and points standings can be found at the series website: www.can-am125gp.com

Technology Changes Things. Latest Example: Student Records.
Schools care about kids. Some are better than others but educators get into the business because they want to help kids grow and learn. Any teacher will tell you one of the key ingredients for doing that is knowing your kids. What kind of student are they, how are things at home, are they having discipline issues, the list goes on and on. In order to accomplish this, schools (big surprise) keep records so they can monitor educational achievement and other things. Of course this is generally a good thing, caring equates to better education.
The problem (and there is always a problem), comes when you sprinkle in the magic of technology, specifically, interlinked databases of school records. Under No Child Left Behind and other education mandates, schools have been required to collect more information and to share it with the state and federal government. Much of this sharing is in disaggregated (anonymous) form, however for auditing and other purposes, it still has to be linked to identifiable information about students.
Now, the outlines of the problem start to reveal themselves. It might have been okay for a local teacher to know about a student's rotten home life or health issues but it seems a lot less okay when that information can be accessed by a wide variety of faceless bureaucrats. Worse, when we start to store it electronically (especially for tracking students over time) the data retention periods get longer and longer. How long do we have to save the fact that you cheated on a test in high school?
This is not a hypothetical problem. The hard-working folks at the Fordham Center on Law and Information Policy reviewed the state data collection practices on K-12 students in all 50 states. A sampling of the data collected by particular states includes: pregnancy, mental health information, criminal history, birth order, victims of peer violence, parental education, medical test results, and birth weight. They also found that information was not being handled in compliance with current law, and that there were no clear rules for accessing the information.
Bad, right? It could get a whole lot worse. H.R. 3221, the "Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009" (SAFRA) has already been passed by the House and is currently being considered in the Senate. This is generally a good bill, but it has in it a proposal to expand these databases of student records to college and workforce education. Some proposals even want to include birth to kindergarten. Suddenly, this looks like a pretty good start on a birth-to-death database where your every mistake is catalogued and saved forever. We talk about the problems and solutions in more detail in our recent letter to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.
Technology changes things. It's not just students that have to learn to use the latest computers and software. Educators and education officials have to recognize that the systems and data they use will have real ramifications for kids and the adults they become.
i think that catallogueing mistakes is like saying "you will always be this kind of person." yet people change all the time. if you commit a crime in high school, that doens't mean you're going to do it again as a 25 year old. yet even when you're 25 the mistake in the past will affect you forever. it's ridiculous.

Unfortunately every one has electronics records about themselves. From school, health, criminal, civil, credit card, etc. While it would be good not to have your records out there, you would have to shut down the whole internet etc and that is not going to happen.
It has been my experience that wether you commit a crime at 17, 29, 39 and you pay for your mistake it is up to you to acknowledge what you have done. If you are up front with someone 9 times out of 10 it works for your benefit.
- November 18, 2009
I think the main concern here is not just that the information is being collected - this has always been done - but that, with the rise of networked database storage, the information can be shared with others easily, without your permission and knowledge, and without any chance for you to correct and/or amend inaccurate, false, or misleading data.
I believe efforts should be focused not on preventing the collection of information but on establishing policies requiring permission to be granted for most types of disclosure; requiring a record to be kept of who accesses the information about you and allowing you to have access to that record; and providing an opportunity to correct or expunge inaccurate, false, or misleading entries. Once these policies are in place, there should also be harsh penalties for any violation.
In our modern society it is becoming all too easy to dig up dirt on anyone and legally smear their name with outdated or inaccurate information about them that has become part of the public record, and this can have real consequences as far as access to employment, housing, etc. as well as damage to friendships and family relationships. In an ideal world, people would base their judgments on a personal knowledge of you as an individual, however as any perusal of supermarket gossip magazines reveals, many of us do not follow that rule!

Like humans, pets may need to find a way to release stress and pent up energy now and then. A bored pet can be destructive if left to find their own entertainment. Many a couch, window blind, pillow and lamp have fallen prey to a bored dog or cat searching for something fun to do. As responsible pet owners, it's up to us to find ways to help keep our pet happy…and it's also one of the best ways to help prevent bad behavior.
Think back to when you were a kid. Remember the conversation that began with "So, what do you wanna do?" followed by "I don't know." Periods of boredom follow us into adulthood. Instead of the child's version of the question, adults are more creative, saying things like "I'm so bored I could kiss a bear" or some other statement that indicates a need for some excitement. Dogs and cats have their own version of that same conversation, except they act out their boredom by chewing on whatever they can find, destroying our furnishings, getting into the trash or attacking the shower curtain. Their need to get rid of pent up energy and deal with being bored is just as real as it is for us.
Pets spend a lot of time home alone, unless you're lucky enough to be able to work from home. We can leave a pet with toys and interactive games to entertain themselves when they aren't napping or staring out the window spying on the neighbors, but what they really want is exercise when we get home. Dogs and cats love to run and play with their owner. Even a simple game of keep away is exciting and works off excess energy. It really isn't difficult to keep a pet happy when you give them plenty of positive attention that includes play. We really do mean everything to our pets, and they don't ask for much in return. Playing with your pet doesn't take up a lot of time and it can make the difference between a happy pet and one that's bored and engaging in bad behavior.
One way to help pets left home alone deal with boredom is to leave some of their favorite CANIDAE treats stashed throughout the home. Searching for treats gives them a chance to use their hunting skills to find where you've hidden the goodies and helps them burn off energy.
Teaching a dog basic commands or taking it up a notch to more complex tricks is a great way to stimulate his mind and have a well behaved pet. When you spend 10 or 15 minutes a day teaching a command and then continue to reinforce that command regularly, you're showing your dog how you want him to act and giving him a way to work for what he wants, whether it's for his meal or to go outside for a walk or to play.
Stimulate a cat's mind with a mystery box. Take a small to medium sized cardboard box, tape the ends shut with duct tape and cut holes in various places around the sides and on top of the box. The holes should be just large enough for your cat to stick her paw in. Put ping pong balls, sparkle balls, cat toys, whole walnuts or marbles inside the box. My cats love the mystery box and go back to it throughout the day when they need to work off some energy. It keeps them happy and helps prevent bad behavior.
If you have a high energy dog, getting him involved in a dog sport will definitely put a smile on his face. A sport stimulates a dog's mind and gives him proper exercise. To give a dog a chance to do what he was bred to do is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. Dogs from the working group have been bred for centuries to do a job, and doing what he was born to do makes a dog happy. Even cats can be trained to do agility!
Exercise maintains a pet's proper and healthy weight which can help prevent some diseases. It's the best way to reduce stress and boredom. A healthy mind and body is just as important for our pets as it is for us. It doesn't take a lot of time to make our pets happy, and spending quality time with us can really make a difference in their attitude. Bad behavior can be changed, but it's better to prevent it from happening in the first place. Playing with your pet also builds a stronger bond for a lifetime of unconditional love.

March 10, 2006
Moraga, CA - The Saint Mary's will travel to San Diego to participate in the 2006 Callaway Golf Invitational presented by The Farms Golf Club, on Monday and Tuesday, Marc 13-14. The 15-team field will tee off beginning on Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. with a shotgun start. Thirty-six holes will be scheduled for Monday, with the final 18 holes slated for Tuesday morning beginning at 7:30 am.
The tournament, which is hosted by the West Coast Conference opponent San Diego, will so include Cal, Colorado State, Hawaii, Long Beach State, Nevada, Oregon State, San Diego State, San Jose State, UC Davis, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara and Utah.
Saint Mary's will travel to San Diego with the same five players that competed in SMC's last tournament, the Lexus Naples Invitational when the Gaels posted an eighth place finish with a 54-hole score of 884 (+20). The team will include junior Chadd Cocco and sophomores Mike McRae, Josh Kelley, Russell Yu and Brett Mormann.
The Farms Golf Club is located in Rancho Santa Fe and is one of the top courses in San Diego. The par-72 layout plays to 6,911 yards with a 73.9 rating and 143 slope. The Farms Golf Club was originally built in 1988 by Pete Dye and later remodeled in 2000 by the team of John Fought and Tom Lehman. The private facility is located in the ruggedly beautiful terrain of Rancho Santa Fe, one of San Diego's most prestigious communities.

Bucs sign former Giants, Rams receiver Steve Smith
Former Giants and Rams receiver Steve Smith, who four years ago had a 1,200 yard season with New York, has signed a one-year contract with the Bucs.
Smith, whose production has plummeted since that stellar 107-catch, 1,220-yard 2009 season, reunites with Bucs offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan in Tampa. Sullivan was the Giants' receivers coach when the team drafted Smith out of USC in 2007.
After spending 2012 with the Rams, catching just 14 passes for 131 yards, Smith joins the Bucs on a deal that will pay him $715,000 with a $65,000 workout bonus.
He'll attempt to resurrect a career that seemed headed for big things after 2009. Instead, Smith's performance has steadily declined since then. But, according to his agent, Ben Dogra, Smith, 27, is hopeful about his opportunity with the Bucs because he already knows Sullivan's offense.
Smith enters what's shaping up as a very competitive situation at receiver behind starters Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams. The Bucs already signed Cowboys receiver Kevin Ogletree and have Tiquan Underwood – last season's No. 3 receiver – under contract. Smith likely will be thrust into the mix with those two veterans.
The depth at receiver already looks more promising than last season, when the Bucs had too big a dropoff after their starters.

Just heard the same thing.
Take that Stern.
Can the NBA block this now in any way
While this is good news for Pacers fans, is it really bad news for David Stern? After all, he gets the ratings now for the Christmas game and can wash his hands of the reduction because he has no control over it.
Talk about bittersweet.
Well that is good news.

This is very exciting! I can't wait to see this game
Makes Saturday's game just a little better. I hope he drops 50 on the Pistons.
This will help the teams morale, which after last night had to be pretty low, probably rock bottom
Merry Christmas everybody!
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
Just remember guys - he hasn't played in about a month.
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
He won't be out of shape, ABA, you can be sure of that.
I agree, but he'll also look a little rusty because he's not in "game shape". But I think he'll put on a good game because he'll be fired up 1) simply because he's finally back 2) national TV 3) It's Detroit.
So O'Neal will play until it goes back to court and if he is sent back for those ten games then he sits? But its true that he will play saturday, which is a nice consolation for most of us who are starting to dawn on the fact that Ron probably won't come back this season

Problem is never seems to work when I type in, but when I compare line by line with the most basic example on the w3schools (again that works when I copy and paste, but I hate doing that, despise it personally with myself).
Works when I copied and pasted, then compared line by line mine to theirs, but it's just still not working makes no sense to me at all.
Could someone help me with this?
function loadXMLDoc() { var xmlhttp; if(window.XMLHttpRequest) { xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else { xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { alert(xmlhttp); } }
It's the w3schools one: http://www.w3schools...e=tryajax_first see when I copy up to where I have the alert, I change the w3schools example and it works, just baffling me to no end, what's wrong with what I am doing?
I'd really love to know.
Thanks in advance everyone

Here's another one I picked up "buy it now" for $195+$9 shipping. Petretti's 12th lists it as a late 20's sign, valued in excellent condition at $1000. This one is very rough and therefore obviously nowhere near a grand, but is among my favorites. Just love it. As a new collector (primarily decorative - but an eye on value), should I attempt to remove rust from old signs like this one? I know with some antiques, patina is everything. Not sure about Old Coke Signs... Any pointers? Thanks.

Aircraft Maintenance, Repair And Overhaul (MRO): A Global Market Report
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 15, 2009
Aircraft Maintenance, Repair And Overhaul (MRO) is a highly volatile market subject to rapid and unexpected changes in economic and international business conditions. Short-term challenges abound in the form of the ongoing economic downturn, high prices, market saturation, slower new aircraft deliveries, shortage of skilled labor, and airline consolidation. The weakness in the global market is presently the result of tight financial conditions, rising fuel costs, falling air traffic demand, and reduced spending on air travel by both households and corporates. Expansion plans, which had started to recede in the early 2008, widened back out as persistent news about deferred aircraft deliveries injected yet another dose of uncertainty into the MRO market. An estimated 1,025 aircrafts were deferred in 2008 and the oldest, most maintenance-demanding aircraft were the first ones in hangar. Nearly 75% of the deferred planes were of North America. Gains in Asian MRO market have beleaguered but haven't completely stalled as they have in the United States.
However, as the market recovers poise, strong demand fundamentals will re-emerge to prop up growth. Resurgence of the aviation industry, reduced airfares, greater connectivity, increase in low cost airlines, technological innovations, and expansion in the overall capacity of air seat miles, will drive growth in the medium to long-term. Asian markets will emerge as the hub of activity, for instance, expanding air traffic has already led to the establishment of numerous, low-cost MRO facilities in high growth potential Asian markets including Singapore, China, India and Malaysia. Dramatic proliferation in air traffic and increase in number of passengers has been and will continue to remain an important factor in attracting foreign investment and paving the way for future development. The growth in the domestic as well as international fleet movement has led to a heavy appreciation in the stocks of the aviation industry. This in turn leads to the requirement for an effective maintenance and overhaul system and service structure for aircrafts and their engines.
World market for Heavy Airframe Maintenance is poised to grow at a steady pace over the years 2006 through 2015, as stated by the recent report published by Global Industry Analysts Inc. Engine Overhaul is forecast to grow the fastest in Asia-Pacific over the analysis period.
Key players dominating the market include Air France KLM, Aveos Fleet Performance Inc, AAR Corp, Ameco Beijing, Ametek Inc, Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies, Bedek Aviation Group, Delta TechOps, ExelTech Aerospace Inc, Aviation Technical Services Inc, Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, Lufthansa Technik (LHT), MTU AeroEngines, Singapore Technologies Aerospace (ST Aerospace), SR Technics, SIA Engineering Co, Snecma Services, STAECO, TIMCO Aviation Services Inc, and VEM/TAP M&E, among others.
The report titled "Aircraft Maintenance, Repair And Overhaul (MRO): A Global Market Report" published by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of the industry, market trends, issues, challenges, and drivers, product/service overview, profiles of major players, and recent industry activity. The study quantifies latent demand potential in key markets, such as, Heavy Airframe Maintenance, Modifications, Components Maintenance, Engine Overhaul, and Line Maintenance. Quantitative analysis is also provided for major geographic market verticals including the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Latin America, and Africa.
