Now This Is 'Wicked' Cool — Deborah Lippmann Creates a Nail Polish Trio Inspired by The Broadway Musical
Aug 28, 2013 @ 5:03 pmOne of the legions of fans of the Broadway show Wicked? So is nail whiz Deborah Lippmann—she's seen the musical 10 times! To honor the popular show's 10th anniversary, she whipped up limited-edition mini lacquers inspired by the Tony winner's costumes and catchy tunes. Included in the set is Popular, a hot pink lacquer with a shimmer finish inspired by Glinda. Defying Gravity is a green with a crème finish inspired by the green skin of Elphaba (and the name plays off the show-stopping song). "We used pieces of fabric from her body suit, and of course her makeup as inspiration," Lippmann said of the shade. "I love this shade because when you're at home, you can transform into Elphaba and become her." The third hue, One Short Day, is an emerald glitter inspired by The Emerald City. "It has the glamour of Oz, and to me, is The Emerald City in a bottle," Lippmann added. Pick up the trio for $29 at sephora.com this September.
Plus, see what everyone wore to this year's Tony Awards!

Thanks for the update. I live in N.C. to but I hate the Panthers. No way could they beat the Colts. I agree the Panthers aren't good without Delhomme. No I didn't go to the festival. I hate Trisha Yearwood but she isn't the reason I didn't go. I just went to see a movie instead. I am really glad Johnson won the race.

56 reviewsTake the ride of your life in Grand Theft Auto V for PS3.
Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious title in the series to date, with a world bigger than GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and GTA San Andreas combined.
Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.
Los Santos is a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities which was once the envy of the Western world, but now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV.
Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score.
Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
Age from 18 years.
Useful info:
- Grand Theft Auto V for PS3
- Huge gaming environment
- Play as multiple characters

Get ready for an exciting range of advances that take you even closer to the beautiful game with FIFA 14.
Test your knowledge of the game in every area as you look for the players to put together a winning team and prepare the tactics to take on your next opponent.
Build your ultimate team of football stars by earning, buying, selling and trading players and items within the FIFA community. Create, manage and compete with multiple squads in new competitions each week.
FIFA 14 introduces the new Real Ball Physics and Pure Shot features that make your attempts on goal more realistic than ever before. Your players will adjust their stride to get off a good shot when the opportunity presents itself but if the chance comes when they are off-balance, the accuracy and strength of their shot will be compromised – just like real life.
That is counterbalanced by improved team-mate intelligence that ensures defenders stay close to their opponents in a bid to limit their opportunities, while keeping an eye out for a counterattacking opportunity.
A new variable first touch makes dribbling with the ball even more of an art, while shielding the ball is more lifelike than ever.
The improved Career mode also makes player scouting more realistic than ever, letting you develop your scouting network and assess players on their attributes.
You can also use the new EA Sports Football Club app for iPhone and Android smartphone to manage your squad, search live auctions and bid to win new players.
FIFA 14 is set to be one of the year's biggest titles for the PS3.

44 reviewsCall of Duty: Ghosts for PS3 is an extraordinary step forward for fans of gripping shoot-'em-up action, with incredible graphics and a thrilling storyline.

The Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer options include new dynamic maps and freshtactical player movements.
The new squad mode lets you build your team and take up to 6 of them into battle, combining the best parts of the multiplayer experience but allowing you to play either solo or cooperatively with the custom soldiers created and leveled up in multiplayer.

06/29/2010 - Parents are giving Philadelphia's public schools some pretty poor marks, and their opinions are reflected in a new survey conducted by the Pew Charitable Trust.A new survey from the Pew Charitable Trust, the culmination of a yearlong effort to get parents' perspectives, finds the city is undergoing going a sweeping shift. Families are no longer reliant on the school down the street, but instead seeking out what they see as a safer, higher quality education.It's something 72 percent of parents say is sorely lacking in the city's public school system.***"Parents want good schools, and they don't really care where it comes from," said Larry Eichel of the Pew Charitable Trust.The problem, according to the report, is that 60 percent of parents rate the Philadelphia School District's performance as fair or poor, and just 31 percent say their child's school handles safety well.Read the full article, Phila.

This vision cannot be realized in a short amount of time, nor can it be realized by IDEM alone. The prevention and remediation of NPS pollution in Indiana's waters requires cooperation of many groups and agencies at the federal, state, and local levels, as well as the citizens of the State of Indiana. IDEM and its many partners will need to continue to work together on a watershed-by-watershed basis to improve and protect our water resources.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar is joining the German Marshall Fund after he leaves the Senate.
Lugar's office announced Wednesday he would serve as a senior fellow at the group and become the namesake of its new Lugar Diplomacy Institute.
The Marshall Fund is an outgrowth of the Marshall Plan established after World War II. It works to improve trans-Atlantic relationships. The new Lugar institute will work to improve communications between Congress and the diplomatic corps assembled in Washington.
Lugar has already announced plans to run a Washington internship program for the University of Indianapolis and lecture occasionally at the school.
Lugar leaves the Senate after 36 years following his loss to a tea party-backed opponent in the Republican primary.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - A Georgia man wanted in a North Carolina double homicide turned himself in to Gwinnett authorities Wednesday evening.
Jeffery C. Miles, 25, of Decatur, turned himself in to the Gwinnett jail at 7:25 p.m., according to Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Stacey Bourbonnais. Miles was wanted in Bryson City, N.C. in Swain County in connection with the double homicide of 33-year-old Jason Scott Wiggins and 34-year-old Michael Heath Compton. Another suspect, Jason Christopher Johnson, 26, also of Decatur, was arrested Sunday night and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Miles will remain in jail until he can be extradited back to North Carolina, Bourbonnais said. He was last seen Monday afternoon at a Wendy's off Interstate 285 in DeKalb County, but eluded capture, authorities said. Deputies found the victims shot to death at the home they shared. A third man was shot and seriously wounded.More like this story

- Numidium was Tiber Septim's secret weapon in his bid for supreme power: a thousand foot tall automaton, a golem or an atronach of sorts powered by a gem called the Mantella. — A letter received by the Hero of Daggerfall
Numidium, or Anumidum, also known as the Brass God or the Brass Tower[1], was a gigantic golem of Dwemer origin. Constructed by Tonal Architect Lord Kagrenac,[2] Numidium was directly related to the disappearance of the Dwemer, and since then has been resurrected several times.
By the end of the Second Era, the Morrowind Tribunal had possession of Numidium.[3] As a part of the Armistice with the Empire, the Tribunal gave Tiber Septim the golem.[4] Numidium was first reactivated by Tiber based on Zurin Arctus' Dwemer research.[5] Reactivating Numidium required a replacement heart, for which the Mantella was used, a soul gem that mimicked the properties of Lorkhan's Heart when filled with the soul of a Shezarrine. The golem was controlled by a Totem that can only be wielded by those of royal blood or great power.
Numidium proved very effective in bringing down the mighty Aldmeri Dominion and conquering Tamriel in 2E 896. The official records tell a story wherein after defeating all his enemies, Tiber Septim used Numidium to destroy the neutral royal families of Tamriel so that he could enthrone persons he knew to be loyal. The Underking, another Shezarrine who was confused for Zurin Arctus due to their shared soul, disagreed with this use of Numidium, and tried to reclaim the Mantella. However, the process devastated both Numidium and the Underking. The heart they shared was blown into Aetherius. Pieces of Numidium were scattered throughout Tamriel.
In the centuries that followed, the Blades were entrusted with the task of collecting the pieces of Numidium. During the reign of Uriel Septim VII, both Numidium and its Totem were found in the Iliac Bay region. This nearly set off a civil war amongst the dozens of independent city-states in the region, beginning with the murder of King Lysandus of Daggerfall. Ultimately, an anonymous hero traveled to the plane of Aetherius to recover the Mantella, then returned to Mundus and activated Numidium, resulting in the Warp in the West and Numidium's subsequent destruction.
A similar Dwemer brass golem, known as Akulakhan or the Second Numidium, was built by Dagoth Ur in his plans to drive the foreigners out of Morrowind and then conquer Tamriel. Akulakhan was inspired by Kagrenac's theories and powered by the Heart of Lorkhan. It was destroyed by the Nerevarine in 3E 427.

- Numidium was featured in TES II: Daggerfall.

What You'll Learn from This Report:
- Average investment in sales training by salesrep
- Who makes sales training decisions
- Who is responsible for the sales training budget
- Mandates for virtual training
- The reasons companies train virtually rather than in traditional classrooms
- How long the improvement from virtual training lasts
- The differences between live virtual training and asynchronous (on-demand) virtual training
- The strengths and weaknesses of each
- What sales training content is best delivered virtually
- Delivery methods, including Internet- and computer-based
- Customization trends
- Relative increases and decreases in virtual versus live training
- Barriers to adopting virtual training and classroom training
This information is vital for sales organizations and training providers that want to thrive in this new environment.
This ESR/Report and related research endeavor to answer the following core questions:
- Are there sales training subjects that are particularly well-suited to each of the following modes: live classroom sales training, live virtual sales training, or completely automated virtual sales training?
- Are there sales training subjects that are not particularly well-suited to each of the following modes: live classroom sales training, live virtual sales training, or totally automated virtual sales training?
- Does the market consider virtual sales training an experimental technology or a mainstream tool?
Survey Organization:
ESR's 2011 Virtual Sales Training Survey was divided into seven sections, described below:
- Part 1, Information About The Respondent. General information about the person completing the survey.
- Part 2, Company Information. Demographic information about the company surveyed.
- Part 3, Decision Makers. What corporate organizations have the responsibility and authority for making decisions regarding internal and/or external sales training?
- Part 4, Pre-Recorded Sales e-Learning. Experiences with sales training provided in a totally pre-recorded mode, without instructor intervention.
- Part 5, Live Virtual Sales Training. Experiences with sales training provided electronically, online, obviating the need for travel, but still requiring a specific calendar and time commitment on the part of the student and live instructor.
- Part 6, Virtual Sales Training Preferences. Explores survey participants' experiences with and preferences for various sales training methods.
- Part 7, Investment Per Salesperson. How much does the organization invest annually, per salesperson, by sales training mode?
Survey Demographics:
Conducted from June 23 through July 25, 2011, five hundred and thirty-seven people participated in the survey, rendering the results, in ESR's estimation, "statistically significant."
Approximately 99 percent of the respondents were from end-user sales training organizations or sales forces. The remaining one percent were from professional sales training companies. Results from the professional sales training organization respondents were so minimal as to have little or no impact on the survey.
The survey results demonstrate empirically the state of virtual and live sales training with respect to actual sales organizations, their training departments, and corporate training.
ESR's Analysis and Recommendations:
Throughout the Report ESR provides analysis and recommendations for companies considering investments in live virtual as well as on-demand virtual training.
Assistance with this Report:
As part of the survey development process, ESR enlisted the assistance of experts from two leading virtual sales training providers—the TAS Group and 3g Selling—who reviewed and provided feedback on the survey questions. The TAS Group is a leader in on-demand virtual learning. 3g Selling is a leader in live virtual training.
ESR details the results of the survey in its comprehensive 32-page report, Virtual Sales Training: How New Media, Methods, and Technologies are Changing the Perception and Delivery of Sales Training.

NEW YORK — NEW YORK (AP) - Exxon Mobil has bumped Wal-Mart from first place among the Fortune 500 top revenue-generating U.S. companies thanks to rising oil prices.
Fortune Magazine released its annual list on Monday.
Oil producers saw some of the biggest revenue increases as a rebellion in Libya and high demand worldwide pushed oil prices higher. The price of benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude oil soared 19 percent. Brent crude, which helps set the price of foreign oil varieties, surged 38 percent between 2010 and 2011.
Revenue rose for Exxon Mobil Corp., based in Irving, Texas, even though the company struggled with lower production and high refining costs. It earned $41 billion last year on revenue of $486 billion.
Now at No. 2, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. reported 4 percent lower earnings in its latest fiscal year: net income of $15.7 billion on revenue of $446.95 billion. Higher expenses squeezed profits as the Bentonville, Ark., retail giant also looked for ways to lower prices.
Two other petroleum companies - Chevron and ConocoPhillips - ranked next behind Wal-Mart.
Rounding out the top 10 were automaker General Motors Co., industrial and banking giant General Electric Co., Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., mortgage provider Fannie Mae, Ford Motor Co. and technology giant Hewlett-Packard Co.
Hewlett-Packard is new to Fortune's top 10 this year, knocking out Bank of America, which fell to No. 13.
Bank of America's revenue has been hit on several fronts by a combination of a weak economy and new regulations that cut how much the bank could collect in credit card and checking account fees. It earned $1.4 billion last year on revenue of $94.4 billion.

Pesky Dark Spots
The most likely cause of brown spots is our good old friend and foe: the sun. UV rays can trigger an overproduction of melanin in the skin, and the effect on your appearance is every bit as aging as wrinkles. Shockingly, a 2009 study done on facial aging in identical twins found that different amounts of sun exposure made the more sun-damaged sibling look as much as 10 years older! "A lot of what we call aging is actually photo-aging from the sun," says Dr. Berson. But first of all, what does a sunspot look like? Basically, it's a big freckle that's symmetrical and all one color, as opposed to skin cancers, which generally have asymmetry, irregular borders, color changes and a diameter larger than six millimeters, or about a quarter of an inch.
Solution: Wear sunscreen, folks. "Some people think if the damage was done in their teens, Why bother with sunscreen now?" says Dr. Tanzi. "This is a serious mistake, because sun damage is cumulative—it's never too late to regularly use an SPF of at least 30."
And there are ways to deal with the damage you already have, too. "Once you're in your thirties, everybody has some pigmentation that shows up from sun damage that happened before you were 18," says Dr. Levine. "It's easy to add a toner to your daily routine. Look for lightening agents like kojic acid, arbutin, emblica or hydroquinone, which can even out your skin tone." Using a dark-spot treatment will do the trick too. Hyperpigmentation also frequently occurs in dark-skinned people in response to inflammation or hormones. These lighteners will tackle those spots, which can darken from sun exposure, says Dr. Levine. Just don't forget to keep them in check with your daily dose of sunscreen.

If you're looking for a special and unique way to send holiday greetings to family and friends this year, sharing personal photos is one of the best ways to send a truly personalized greeting. It's quick and easy to print beautiful color pictures straight from the computer or to share favorite photos by putting together a mini photo album on a CD.
Your personal holiday message can be as simple and sweet as a new baby's face, as funny as a collage of your craziest events, or as sophisticated as a family portrait. Here's a tip from Rick Sammon, professional photographer and author of The Complete Guide to Digital Imaging: "When you're taking a group photo, be sure to keep talking to your subjects—try to be funny and distract them from the actual picture-taking process. Silence is deadly for an image." You say you want to share more than one picture? Consider putting together a CD of your favorite photos. Make your photo selections full of variety, and include pictures that capture the spirit of your personality. Choose pictures taken throughout the past 12 months, so your friends can enjoy the highlights of your entire year. "Be sure to photograph not only the perfectly posed moments with everyone smiling, but also the imperfect moments of impromptu fun," suggests Charlotte Lowrie, managing editor of MSN Photos. "While you have everyone in one place, invent your own iteration of the modern family snapshot. Think about including props or objects that help reveal family members' current interests. Invent poses that help show relationships and family interactions." To enhance the recipient's CD experience, you can even add music, backgrounds to photos, and even include photo captions. And don't forget to design your own CD label using graphics that capture your style. An Avery CD Label looks great when you print your greetings in color. Let your personal photos, whether on print or CD, share your holiday cheer. |

Getting the Best Output from Your Inkjet Printer
- Whether you're printing Avery CD Labels or on photo paper, you want high-quality output from your printer. For the best advice, we turned to our experts at Lexmark, a leading manufacturer of inkjet and laser printers. These tips will help you get the best results: - Photos always look best when printed on glossy or photo paper. - To ensure getting the most detailed output, use the highest DPI (dots per inch) or highest quality setting on your printer. - Your graphic image should be at least 200 DPI resolution to achieve photo-quality output. Anything less may disappoint you no matter how good your printer is. Look for digital cameras with at least a two megapixel rating for the best results. - For the most vibrant color, substitute a photo cartridge for the black cartridge in your inkjet printer. Its inks will augment the red, yellow, and blue in a traditional color cartridge. But if you want black text or graphics, stick with the printer's basic black and color cartridges. For additional printing tips, visit www.lexmark.com. |

ONAMI has invested significant staff and Board of Directors effort to arrive at a strategy intended to maximize the success rate of commercializing technology to create high-wage jobs in Oregon. There are two main elements:
The ONAMI Gap Fund and follow-on funding sources are formally independent, but mutually informed to the extent that confidentiality and conflict of interest avoidance will permit. ONAMI works to coordinate these elements through inclusion of interested venture capital organizations in the Commercialization Advisory Council, this web site, and other marketing related activities.
ONAMI has secured the help of a distinguished Commercialization Advisory Council (CAC) of external advisors to assist with proposal evaluation and funding recommendations. The CAC is composed of the following individuals:

Alumacraft Angler SC Alumacraft introduced the all-new, all-aluminum Angler CS, a 16-foot jon built for bass, crappie and catfish anglers who are looking for big value. Its welded mod-V hull features rugged .102-inch aluminum and features 11 ribs. The 65-inch beam and 48-inch bottom mean the carpeted decks and floor offer lots of fishing space. Suggested retail: Console model—$7,995; tiller model—$7,795, with Yamaha 25 two-stroke.
Bass America HP 175 The Bass America HP 175 is a brand new aluminum bass boat from Polar Kraft. The 17 footer is made from rugged .100-inch metal, and features a one-piece fiberglass console with multi-function gauges and anti-feedback steering. The 175's hull has a reverse chine and is rated for 115 horsepower and can carry 1,450 pounds of passengers and gear. Suggested retail: $19,500, with a Yamaha F115, 40-pound Minn Kota tolling motor and Lowrance X-50.
Champion 188 CX Champion introduced a pair of tournament-level bass rockets for 2008. At 18 feet, 8 inches, the 188 CX is the smaller of the two, yet it offers maximum deck and storage space due to its wide, 95-inch beam. The width extends well into the bow, which means wide-open fishing space on the deck and lots of room for gear and rods underneath. Rated for 200-horsepower, the 188 CX's V-Wing hull is known for its smooth ride and superb handling. Standard features include a 24-volt MotorGuide trolling motor, a dash-mount Lowrance X-135, SeaStar hydraulic steering, a 10-inch jackplate, plus more. Suggested retail: $34,583, with a Yamaha 200 VMax.
Crestliner CX17 Crappie The CX17 Crappie from Crestliner is a brand new hull, designed especially with the panfisherman in mind. At 17 feet, 1 inch in length, the modified-V hull offers an extremely wide 87-inch beam, which means lots of space in the cockpit and enough room for two-across seating on the bow and stern decks. The ready-to-fish package comes complete with trolling motor, sonar, two aerated livewells with integrated bait buckets, rod and dry storage, plus a swing-tongue trailer. Suggested retail: $15,581, with a Mercury 50.
Lowe FM 165 Lowe's FM 165 aluminum V-hull is rich in fishing features, starting with a spacious cockpit and large casting deck in the bow. It also features a 55-pound MotorGuide trolling motor, Lowrance X-50 sonar, 7-foot easy-access rod locker and a 23-gallon Flow-Rite livewell. The 16 1/2 footer is rated for 75 horsepower and is a great choice for anglers who want an all-around fishing rig. Suggested retail: $12,495, with a Mercury 50.
Lund 186 Tyee GL Lund made its long-awaited entry into the fiberglass fishing boat market with the new 186 Tyee GL, an 18 1/2-foot multi-species boat built for big-water fishing and family fun. The boat's 98-inch beam provides a big, stable footprint in the water, plus plenty of room in the cockpit area for four pedestal seats, plus two stern jump seats. Storage is generous, with multiple compartments in the bow, stern and sidewalls, as well as a cavernous in-floor rod locker and a livewell/baitwell fore and aft. Unique to this model is the SportTrack Accessory System, a slide-track design that allows an angler to mount rod holders, drink holders or other accessories anywhere along the gunnels, and easily reposition them, if necessary. The hull is rated for 175 horsepower. Suggested Retail: Unavailable at publishing time.
MirroCraft 1977 Aggressor EXP MirroCraft added a larger boat to its flagship line of pro-level fishing rigs. At 18 feet, 10 inches, the new 1977 Aggressor EXP measures is a foot longer than the other two boats in the line, which means more overall fishing space as well as a 200 horsepower rating. The boat's high sides, 25-inch transom, tough double hull and full compliment of standard and optional equipment make it an ideal big-water rig. It comes with a full walk-through windshield, snap-in carpet and a built-in wash-down system, generous rod and dry storage, three pedestal chairs and an adjustable driver's seat, as well as a huge, 140-quart stern livewell. Suggested retail: $16,899, boat only.
Polar Kraft Outlander 179 TC The reverse chine, which pushes bow spray out and down, on Polar Kraft's Outlander 179 TC means fishermen will arrive at their hotspots dry and comfortable. This, along with its 17-foot, 9-inch length, 93-inch beam and 46-inch and 44-inch livewells (fore and aft), make it a solid choice for anglers who tap large lakes and reservoirs for trophy walleyes, muskies, stripers or catfish. Its three piece hull features double-riveted seams and a double-layered keel that provide extreme ruggedness and durability. Lockable rod storage, anti-feedback steering and a multi-function gauge array are part of the package. Suggested retail: $19,900, with a Yamaha F115, 55-pound Minn Kota trolling motor and Lowrance X-50.
Princecraft Pro 169LX WS New from Princecraft, the Pro 169LX offers the simple, efficient, angling-minded layout of a classic fishing rig.
Offered in WS (windshield), SC (side console) and BT (backtroll) models, the 16-foot, 2-inch length and 87-inch beam give it wide-open floor space. It's double-riveted at the stern and sides, with a double-plate bottom from bow to mid-ship for added durability. Suggested retail: $17,974, WS model with a Mercury 40 four-stroke.
Princecraft SP 207 SE Princecraft also redesigned and recast its popular Super Pro 207 SE for 2008. The huge 20 footer is rated for 225 horsepower and offers a full 100 inches of beam and 84 inches of bottom width, making it a superbly stable fishing platform. The double reverse-chine hull delivers an incredibly smooth, dry ride no matter the wind or wave conditions. It also features a 44-inch livewell up front and a 34-inch well in the stern, as well as a 12-rod organizer and plenty of storage space. There are four pedestal seat bases in the cockpit, one each on the fore and aft decks, plus two fold-down jump seats under the rear deck. Suggested retail: $40,080, with a Mercury 150 OptiMax XL.
Smoker Craft Pro Mag 182 At 18 feet, 2 inches, with a 96-inch beam and 27 inches of interior depth, the Pro Mag 182 is obviously meant to deliver a smooth, dry ride and provide a stable fishing platform no matter where you fish. The cockpit is large and spacious, with room to seat four, or provide a pair of anglers with all the trolling room they need. A center rod box that holds up to eight sticks, as well as two carpeted storage compartments along the sides, are located under the fore deck. The hull, rated for 150 horsepower, features Smoker Craft's five-keel design for straight tracking when on plane or at trolling speeds. Suggested retail: $24,355, with a Mercury 150 OptiMax XL.
Triton DV 18 Magnum Triton had walleye trolling in mind when it designed this 18 1/2-foot aluminum V-hull. With 95 inches of beam and 35 inches of maximum depth, it was built for the kind of waters these anglers fish. But even if stripers, blue catfish, or another big-water gamefish is the target, anglers will appreciate the space, comfort and range the tough, all-welded hull provides. Options include Lowrance sonar and a choice between a Minn Kota and MotorGuide trolling motor, Dual-Pro on-board charger, plus more. Suggested retail: 32,784, with a Mercury 150 OptiMax XL.
Triton DV 17 Liberty Another aluminum V-hull from Triton is the DV 17 Liberty, a boat that packs a lot of fishing space and features into a compact frame. Its 89 inches of beam and 26 inches of cockpit depth, allow fishermen to attack fairly big waters with confidence. Fore and aft decks are good sized, and if you remove two of the four standard pedestal seats, there's room for two trolling anglers to work in the cockpit. Suggested retail: $24,684, with a Mercury 115 OptiMax.
Warrior V1783 Backtroller XST Warrior bills its new V1783 Backtroller XST as a "rough-water tiller boat that will fit into your garage." At 17 feet, 4 inches in length, it's quite compact, yet it offers many features serious anglers want, like twin livewells and the Pro Tiller Hydraulic Remote Steering system. Its wide, 83-inch beam provides stability and comfort at the top end and at trolling speeds. Suggested retail: $25,795, with a Yamaha 90 four-stroke.
Xpress H18 Bass anglers looking for the advantages an aluminum hull offers need to check out the new H18 modified-V boat from Xpress. The 18 footer offers all the essential fishing features, is made from rugged .100-inch aluminum and weighs 1,138 pounds. Its light weight, along with Xpress' exclusive Hyperlift Hull design, means you need fewer horses to push the boat on plane quickly and get where you're going. Suggested retail: $19,995, with a Yamaha 150.
Xpress H17 The Xpress H17 is a slightly smaller version of the H18, but with the same wide, 95-inch beam and 68-inch bottom that provide a stable ride and solid fishing platform. Like its larger cousin, the H17 features a spacious port side rod box and extra-large livewell, a long with a 40-pound Minn Kota trolling motor and Humminbird Piranha Max 215 sonar unit—all the equipment serious anglers require. Interior features include stylish tuck & roll upholstery on seats contoured for comfort, and a front deck that offers more legroom for better maneuverability. Suggested retail: $18,995, with a Yamaha F115.

If you install 3.5 you could limit the number of states by src IP. I think this could work if they doesn't use random spoofed src IPs.

two problems:
1)it is random(),the method that limit the number of states by src IP maybe not effective.
2)i had use the function in the freebsd 4.10,but,the attacker could stuff your stack(net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_count) immediately,the syslogd report that "too many dyn rules..",so,you must add the num of net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_max, do like:

Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed).

Spendy, but worth it
March 07, 2011
I was considering silks as I've already got an shirt that I like very much, but glad that I settled on the Smartwool for bottoms. They hold position better than silk, are warmer, and actually just as soft. They're warm enough under jeans for biking in the Northwest winter, but not enough for something static like fishing on the Columbia. Brrrr. I'm 6'1", 180lbs and the large fit a little big on me. I might get a medium next time.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: CostGreat baselayer!
January 20, 2011
I used to dread the long winter walk from my truck to the building where I work; the wind cutting through by dress pants and putting me in a sour mood before I even reach my desk. No more. I love these things. They were slightly itchy at first but now I'm used to them, and it seems like I'm wearing a pair all the time (in the winter at least). I've yet to use them for any more 'active' endeavors, but I plan on testing them out in winter running, biking, snowboarding, etc. I expect them to perform wonderfully. If not, I'll simply upgrade to a higher gram-weight version of these SmartWool bottoms. I'm well pleased with these bottoms and would highly recommend them.
Pros: Great design, Performance, Great valueDoes the job!
April 13, 2011
Good for that extra something you need when out in rain and wind in the 40's. It is surprisingly comfortable. I thought that it would be itchy, but it is not. Very tight fit, but not constricting.
Pros: Build quality, Performance, Ease of usePerfect for a little chill protection
December 03, 2009
comfortable, adding just a little warmth to make lightweight pants suitable for chillier days. the cuffs are stretchy enough that it's easy to keep these above boots, so it's not necessary to get boot-top bottoms in this weight.
February 02, 2010
I love Patagonia but Synchilla long johns of all weights pull the hairs out of my legs. One at a time. Painfully. I don't know why, lucky I guess. But I've heard the same complaint from other men. Usually I just suffer, but this year I received SmartWool midweights for Christmas. They were smooth and painless and warm, but not too warm. Not groin-drenchingly warm. Perfect for working outside in the frigid. For those milder days, and for the inside/outside jobs, I ordered these microweights. They are so darn smoove. That is slang for deadly smooth. And not as silly expenseive as the Patagonia or the Filson wools. It's a compromise. I have little kids, so I know all about compromise.
Smartwool is the way to go
January 22, 2010
Wore these on a warm ski day at Beaver Creek last week... They are very comfortable and great at moisture wicking. Probably not thick enough for really really cold days, but perfect when a light base layer will do.
Highly recommended
June 07, 2010
My husband wore these almost every day last winter. We live in N.E. and he wore them as an extra layer under his jeans. They were not itchy and easy to care for. Only negative is the seat of the pants started to wear thin. That's why I ordered another pair.
excellent bottom
January 14, 2010
I bought them for my husband and he loves them very much. They are light, warm, comfy and not itchy at all. And they are easy to wash/dry/care. They are good for travel too because they are super-compact!
Light, soft, very warm
November 02, 2010
I have used the Smartwool NTS Microweight bottoms almost every day for about two weeks now. They are incredibly light and comfortable, they are soft and do not itch. For running and hiking these are great, since they have very good mobility, not hampering movement and wick away any moisture with ease. I'm 5'11 and the medium fits me well. I would highly recommend these.
December 22, 2010
I have used several brands of bottoms and these definitely are the best I have had. They are very comfortable, breathable and VERY warm. That about all you need for bottoms.
Pros: Build quality, Performance, Cons: CostLove Them!!
January 06, 2009
Very comfy! I was worried they might itch being wool, but they're really nice and not too heavy.
wonderful product
December 05, 2010
Smartwool products are top of the line. Superb: Great fit. great quality. The customer service/order people are courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. Altrec's prices and service are excellent. It is a pleasure to deal with such a fine company.
Pros: Build quality, Great valueSmartwool midweight bottomes
February 21, 2011
This product has been terrific for winter hikes or even winter chores . They are very lightweight but deliver warmth without condensation. You forgot that you are wearing long underwear . Far superior to synthetic products - worth the extra expense. Highly recommend to have at least one pair .
Pros: Build quality, Performance, Cons: Costexcellent product
December 03, 2009
"These tights are light, warm, silky smooth. In spite of being wool they don't itch *at all*. I'm 5'11" and they fit just fine, and would still if I were a few inches taller. I think I've slept in them every night since I got them about two weeks ago. I'm about to travel overseas and plan to take them along, since they fold up so tiny. They've even prompted a couple of admiring remarks from the wife, so what's not to like?" but
Great indoor/outdoor option
February 26, 2011
Nice and thin so these bottoms fit easily under your trousers. Solid for 40-50 degree weather when you want to take the chill off outdoors but still be comfortable inside. Wool rules.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Cons: CostNovember 12, 2011
It does the work it's designed for. A little bit thin. Quick drying. Fit very well. 180cm 90kg size L. I noticed it wear out a little bit quick than I expected. Worth buying.
Pros: Performance, Cons: Wears quicklyJanuary 19, 2011
in the winter i always wear a baselayer... anything from thermal underwear to spandex jogging tights. the smartwool microweight bottoms have been absolutely outstanding. first off, smartwool products, in my experience have been of fantastic quality... in fact, most of my socks these days are smartwool and they have all outlasted any of my other synthetic socks by a decent margin. secondly, the lightweight of these bottoms makes wearing a 2nd layer much less constricting. i don't wear baggy pants so it's important that the base layer not be too bulky. these bottoms are quite thin. they aren't the warmest bottoms i've ever worn but i live in connecticut where winter temps are generally in the 20's and 30's so they are perfect. i've been wearing these basically daily since i've gotten them and can't be more pleased with them. the only gripe i have with them is the waist seems to be a little high on them... but that seems to be the case with most pants out there... just my opinion, though.
Pros: Build quality, Performancesmart wool micro weight
May 31, 2011
Very good product, light weight and warm w comfort fit not too tight or loose. look forward to wearing at altitude and for sleeping while camping. Large size fits at 6'2" 200lbs.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Cons: CostJust what I was looking for
February 01, 2011
I must admit to being a big fan of every Smartwool product that I've purchased. These are no different. I wanted something to keep me warm when I am outside but that I would not make me too hot when I am inside. These aren't gonna keep you warm if you are out all day but if you are going in and out then they are perfect. They fit great (size M - 5'11", 155), have some stretch in them so they can adapt to different body types.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, PerformanceSmartwool is the best!
December 08, 2010
Merino wool is superior to synthetic fabrics. Oz for oz, I think Smartwool offers better insulation. Smartwool is not like wool that I remember as a kid either. No itchiness. Also Smartwool really does not hold odor like much of the synthetic outdoor clothing I have. The quality of Smartwool products is the one to beat for sure. If you want the best, treat yourself to Smartwool. Seriously. Give it a try. You won't regret it if you are serious about quality outdoor clothing.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Cons: Costgreat liner tights
February 17, 2011
These worked well as a liner tight with insulated Sugoi cycling pants. Rode in 20 degrees and was fine. Much softer on the skin than UnderArmour. Great fly feature.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great valueMen's Microweight bottoms
March 28, 2011
My husband loves these Microweight bottoms and asked me where they had been all his life. Loves Them! They keep him warm in a cold office.IT's important to stay warm at work so you can function at 100%.
Pros: Ease of use, Great valueGreat Base Layer
December 29, 2010
I bought these base layer bottoms a year ago and I am still amazed at how well they perform. I wear them under my dress pants to work as I am often times outside during at my job the winter. Size is true to fit and extremely comfortable. Long lasting and high quality. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone spending any significant amount of time outside on cold days.

From the Missouri west : photographs / by Robert Adams
A Photographic Look at the New American West (Exhibition : 2008)
Robert Adams has spent much of his career photographing the American West. An early proponent of the new topographics movement, Adams' approach to photography considers man's intervention in the modern landscape. This work, which takes the Missouri River as the starting point of the pioneer west, took Adams out of the suburbs to "rediscover some of the land forms that impressed our forebears." His only proviso was that each image includes some trace of man.
A Photographic Look at the New American West. -- The landscape of the American West has long been a subject for photographers. The advent of photography in the mid-nineteenth century and the development of easier methods of photographic reproduction corresponded with the western expansion of the nation. Photographic documentation augmented the reports issued as part of the United States Geological Survey of the Territories and photography was capturing the wondrous archaeological discoveries being made, as well as capturing the vestiges of Native American culture. Civic boosters, hotel resorts and railway lines were using photography in promotional material to woo visitors to the western states. -- The post-World War II American West was a very different place. As the public claimed what was once open space for development the wilderness that characterized the west became increasingly scarce and therefore more precious. Remaining wilderness areas, such as the National Parks, provided photographic inspiration for photographers beyond the mere documentary, ornamental, or promotional. Images of the West became, in addition, a vehicle for personal expression, whether it was the awe-inspiring grandeur revealed by Ansel Adams, the bittersweet nostalgia expressed by Wright Morris, or the ubiquitous, scarring hand of man found in the work of Robert Adams. -- All of the works shown are from the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute Library.

And yet the scars (wounds?) of the As are with me. I searched the word infidelity in my library catalogue and discovered a 2013 release entitled, Vow: A Memoir of Marriage (and Other Affairs), about a wife who discovered her Hs affair(s) and an outside child. She was also unfaithful during the M. The reviews on Amazon are interesting.
Anyone here read this? Thoughts?
I was already cracked but then they BROKE me.
I have not read that particular book.
I really enjoyed "How to be an Adult in Relationships" by David Richo.
I think I read it in year 4, maybe year 3.
I know I would not have been open to some of its tenets earlier in R. In particular, Acceptance.
When I did read it. I was ready. For me the scars stay as well. But this book was very helpful to me in moving forward. Acceptance not only of what happened in the A but also the very flawed R that followed.

Meet SurfacePad for iPad mini
Modern. Thin. Innovative. Introducing a new breed of cover for iPad mini.
Charleston, SC, March 4, 2014 – Twelve South presents SurfacePad for iPad mini, a multifunctional, luxury leather cover for iPad mini that introduces several innovative features never before seen in an iPad cover. Made with genuine Napa leather, the super-smooth cover doubles as a hands-free viewing stand and desktop typing wedge. SurfacePad for iPad mini is available now in Pop Red, Mod White and Jet Black for $69.99.
SurfacePad for iPad mini is a beautiful, smooth cover with a clean, modern design. The stylish leather wrap protects both sides of iPad, without hiding or disguising iPad's beautiful profile. SurfacePad adheres to the back of the iPad instead of snapping into a shell or entombing it in bulky plastic and rubber. Flip open the cover and SurfacePad even wakes up your iPad mini. If you are looking for clean modern protection for your iPad mini, there's nothing quite as thin or elegant as SurfacePad.
Tailored from high-quality Napa leather, this super-slim cover has some innovative features hidden inside, too. SurfacePad works as a dual position, hands-free viewing display. Slide iPad up along the inside cover and hidden magnets magically reach out to grab the edge of iPad. This cool trick replaces the need for extra sewn-in stops or notches. If the angle's not quite right, slide iPad a little further and a second row of magnets will grab and hold iPad at a second viewing angle. You can place SurfacePad for iPad mini on any flat surface to stream movies, video conference via FaceTime or watch a slideshow without having your hands tied up – or the smooth inside cover cluttered up.
Another clever feature built into SurfacePad for iPad mini is a small kickstand that turns this sleek cover into a typing wedge and desktop display. Flip down the kickstand, and – as with the hands-free viewing stand – a hidden row of magnets grabs the edge of your iPad. Just like that, your iPad is resting at a comfortable angle for editing emails, twisting tweets or building your business plan in Pages.
SurfacePad has a smooth, solid cover lined with soft microfiber to protect the iPad glass. Unlike covers with creases for folding, the smooth, rigid cover on SurfacePad is refreshingly simple and clean. Reading an iBook on iPad with SurfacePad feels like reading a small book or magazine. Because the front cover is rigid, you simply fold it behind iPad and hold your tablet with one hand. When you close SurfacePad, hidden magnets keep the SurfacePad closed and your iPad fast asleep.
"The moment we released SurfacePad for iPhone last year, users told us they wanted the same modern cover for iPad mini, but we wanted to take it a step further," said Andrew Green, Creative Director of Twelve South. "First, we removed the need for the typical bulky plastic shell by adhering SurfacePad to iPad. Then, using hidden magnets to display iPad? So cool… it's the kind of feature you'll show your friends. Finally, the addition of the smooth, non-creased cover combined to make one of the best designed iPad covers we've ever seen."
SurfacePad for iPad mini is available in three color choices: Pop Red, Mod White and Jet Black. Wrap your iPad in a sleek leather SurfacePad for iPad mini. Purchase your SurfacePad for iPad mini today for just $69.99 at twelvesouth.com.
