The Mac is back in the enterprise. Last year, sales of Apple's flagship computer to business jumped substantially, growing 44 percent compared in Q3 with a paltry 5.3 percent increase for Windows machines, according to Needham & Co. Yet its current operating system, known as OS X 10.7 Lion, is a disaster from a CIO's perspective.
Most IT departments wisely wait before unleashing an operating system upgrade on their companies. In Lion's case, it would be wiser to leave it alone entirely. It's already been through numerous updates, now shipping as OS X 10.7.3. And the company already has announced its successor, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. But if Apple doesn't address some serious problems in Lion, it too will be a nightmare for IT. Here's why.
[ For tips and tools for managing an enterprise Mac fleet, download InfoWorld's free "Business Mac" Deep Dive PDF special report today. | See InfoWorld's slideshow tour of Mac OS X Lion's top 20 features and test your Apple smarts with our Apple IQ test: Round 2. | Keep up with key Apple technologies with the Technology: Apple newsletter. ]
Once deployed, Lion's current features likely will cause a spike in pricey help desk calls, increase security risks, and cause no end of user frustrations -- all of which will burden the IT department. For those companies who were using the previous OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and have upgraded, the problems will be the most acute because the gratuitous changes made to the software will confuse users and undoubtedly hurt their productivity.
Lost in Spaces
Let's start with the wonderful tool called Spaces. Introduced years ago as an option, it lets users create multiple desktop views, or spaces, where they could set up task-specific work environments from their System Preferences application. For example, you could configure the number of spaces you wanted -- maybe one for collaboration apps, one for business-sensitive documents, another for games, and so on. It was a great enhancement.
In Lion, Spaces come out of the box set at three, instead of allowing a user or system administrator to set them up. Worse, they're fixed so you cannot manage them from Systems Preferences. You need to alter them by hovering over a given space. However, because you can no longer manage them from System Preferences, you're stuck with three. (Editor's note: The author seems unaware that all a user has to do is launch the Mission Control application from the OS X Dock and then click the Close box for the unwanted space, rather than detour to the System Preferences application.)
Dangerous system settings
In and of itself, that might not be more than a time-wasting IT problem when users, trained for years to use the Systems Preferences application, call the help desk asking how to manage the spaces. However, combined with another inexplicable change, the change in spaces management to the spaces themselves increases an enterprise's security risks.
When you shut down a modern desktop computer, users see a window telling then that their computer will shut down in so many seconds. Most people then press Return to make the shutdown immediate. But with Lion there's an added small checkbox that is permanently checked and tells you that all of your currently running applications, including those running in all of your spaces, will launch again when you next turn the computer on.

Grilled Peaches and Berries Recipe
Simple ingredients brown sugar, butter and lemon juice release the flavors of the peaches and blueberries when they are grilled in a foil pouch. Cleanup couldn't be easier for this recipe from Sharon W. Bickett of Chester, South Carolina.
- 2 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons butter
- Place two peach halves, cut side up, on each of two double thicknesses of heavy-duty foil (12 in. square). Sprinkle each with blueberries, brown sugar and lemon juice; dot with butter. Fold foil around peaches and seal tightly.
- Grill, covered, over medium-low heat for 18-20 minutes or until tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Yield: 2 servings.

I am trying to use AT-commands on the N8 but the call to RComm::Read or RComm::ReadOneOrMore never completes.
The following works on N97 but on N8 the 'status2' never completes:
RCommServ s;
RComm p;
_LIT(KModule, "dataport");
_LIT(KPort, "DATAPORT::1");
p.Open(s, KPort, ECommExclusive);
_LIT8(KCommand, "AT I0\r\n");
TRequestStatus status;
p.Write(status, KCommand);
TBuf8<100> buf;
TRequestStatus status2;
p.ReadOneOrMore(status2, buf);
N97 reach this point, N8 does not, it is stuck...
Changing the AT-command does not help. And i assume the read shall complete even if the command is not supported.
For N8 i build against the 0.9 SDK.
Has anyone encountered the same problems or have any input about this?
All hints are welcome.
Also: On the page What's new in Symbian^3
they mention 'Centralized AT-command Handling'. I have failed in finding any more informaiton about that. Anyone knows where info about that can be found?

Leaky Presents the Harry Potter Quote ConjurerWidgets
We've got a great, fun, just-plain-cool-if-I-do-say-so-myself widget for you: The Harry Potter Quote Conjurer for Mac AND Windows.
The conjurer is the latest from our Truly Awesome Widget Guy, Chris Chang, and today, its first day online, it has been named a featured widget by Apple.com!
So what is it? The Harry Potter Quote Conjurer is a diversion - it randomizes quotes from the Harry Potter series (from a database of thousands, pulled by Leaky Editor Extraordinaire Julie Tynion), and places them alongside vivid illustrations (designed by our lovely and oh-so-talented designer Heather Campbell) of the characters with whom they're associated. You can set the conjurer to update at a set interval of time, or refresh it by clicking onthe character portrait. If you click the quote, the conjurer will whisk you away to the related page on our partner, The Harry Potter Lexicon. It's simple fun that uses the books to remind anyone why they're a fan (personally, I can't stop refreshing it. It's addictive).
The conjurer will continue to be updated with thousands more quotes and even more wonderful images and features, as time goes on.
How do you get it?
Mac OSX (Dashboard): Download (1.2 MB), Info
For Windows and Mac on Yahoo! Widgets (formerly Konfabulator; works on Mac and Windows with the Yahoo! Widgets software): Download, 1.2 MB, Info (and only with the name "Melissa Anelli" on it because several attempt to get them to change Leaky's account name have been unsuccessful - I had nothing to do with the creation of this widget, let's be clear!)

UCOR moving forward with K-25 demolition
The Department of Energy's new contractor has a new approach for demolishing the historic K-25 uranium-enrichment plant, and that plan is gradually gaining momentum.
"We paused on Day 1 (Aug. 1) to take a deep breath and to make sure everyone was on board with our approach and that everyone understood that safety was the primary consideration before work resumed," said Dennis Hill, a spokesman for URS/CH2M Oak Ridge (UCOR), which replaced Bechtel Jacobs as DOE's environmental manager in Oak Ridge.
One of the first acts was to establish a buffer zone between the units (at the southern end of the East Wing of K-25) that are contaminated with radioactive technetium-99, and the rest of the big building that's being demolished. The Tc-99 area is of special concern, requires additional precautions for workers, and the waste is segregated because much of it will have to be shipped off site for disposal at the Nevada National Security Site.
Under the new plan, work on Monday-Thursday is devoted to asbestos abatement and removal of "other hazardous materials" from the Tc-99 area. On Friday-Sunday, the work focus is shifted to demolishing the units that are adjacent to the buffer zone between the Tc-99 area and the rest of the East Wing.
That strategy helps avoid the possibility for cross-contamination and also helps maintain the proper protection for workers, the spokesman said.
"Work in the Tc-99 area is not being conducted simultaneously with the demolition of those units because it is deemed safer not to have people working inside the building while a portion of it is being demolished," Hill said.
He said it is expected to take 2-3 months to complete the demolition of units adjacent to the buffer zone in the K-25 East Wing.
Hill said additional protective equipment and attire are required for those people working in the Tc-99 area. "Tc-99 is an internal hazard, not an external one," he said. "We use respirators if there is a danger of airborne contamination, and we cover skin to prevent contact. We also have to balance the Tc-99 hazard with the heat stress hazard, which is a much more significant threat than the Tc-99. We use the appropriate level of protective clothing to account for both hazards."
Asked where the asbestos and "other hazardous materials" being removed from the Tc-99 area will be sent for disposal, Hill said that depends. He said the material will go to Nevada if it exceeds criteria for the Oak Ridge Superfund disposal cell, but otherwise it will be disposed of locally.
"We will enlist the support of transportation people from (Nevada), who are experienced at packaging Tc-99," Hill said.
During the transition of contractors, UCOR managers emphasized that their approach would be different and reduce the amount of sampling that's necessary. They also suggested that the approach wouldn't require foaming of equipment, but apparently Bechtel Jacobs had already completed most of the foaming anyway -- except in the Tc-99 area.
"We will reduce the amount of sampling to save time and money," Hill said. "If we are reasonably sure that materials are going to go to (Nevada), we will not spent time sampling that material to prove it cannot go to EMWMF (Environmental Management Waste Management Facility, the CERCLA landfill in Oak Ridge). We will draw a line of demarcation in the facility, and assume that everything on one side of the line is going to go to (Nevada), and we don't do exhaustive sampling on that material."
The line of demarcation may or may not be a physical line inside the Tc-99 area, Hill said. Workers are grouping equipment and building structures for sampling, he said.
"For example, we will sample converters, compressors, steel, concrete, etc., to determine if those particular items qualify for disposal at EMWMF," he said. "We believe this approach to sampling will require significantly fewer samples to be taken, while ensuring the material is properly characterized and disposed."
Overall for the East Wing demolition, UCOR expects about 90 percent of waste materials to go to EMWMF, with the rest going to Nevada.
"We will package and ship waste as we go," Hill said.
Instead of foaming, UCOR is looking for other "cost-effective" ways to better stabilize equipment in the Tc-99 area prior to demolition, he said.

I found this video that neatly describes blood types and shows how one can genetically establish ones heritage.
Anyone looking for "the lost book of Enki"??
I found a PDF Of that book HERE
Views: 1009
Thats me. RH neg
Yeah it certainly explains a lot of things about me too. I'm an A neg blood type.. I would like to know if there are Positives that experience the same and how it came about.
Electronic things respond to my moods.
My healing abilities came spontaneously.
My "clairs" came spontaneously with no training at all.
its easy for people to just talk but here we can take a poll to find out how negatives and positives developed and what they experienced.
Auburn hair, green eyes, stopped watches and messed up TV screens from the age of 13, vivid dreamer, see auras, never felt like I belong here, etc. I am A+. I think a lot is missing from this video. I read a book a long time ago (forgotten most of it) that explained how blood types correspond with human ailments. It was fairly convincing; this video isn't. Just my opinion.
Normally when you donate blood they let you know. That's the easiest.
If you are under 40, you can ask your mom, she probably remembers from when you were born. Or you can ask the doctor next time you see him/her. If you've ever had any blood work done, your blood type should be on file.
Wait minute. This is all delightful and clever and I don't mind thinking of myself as a rare breed. However the latest genetic studies show that Neandertal carried the gene for fair skin, blue eyes and red hair, all of which I have. In addition I have the Oneg blood, am psychic, stop clocks, blow lightbulbs, etc etc. So the idea that before the divine 'intercourse' all humans had dark eyes and hair does not seem quite right. And it is believed possible that the Neandertal is what gave the human race the red haired coloring.
You could be right.
I am sure positive people can also have fair hair and blue eyes. Personally I have dark hair and brown eyes. I think genetic interbreeding has a lot to do with it.
I don't recall him saying that fair hair or blue eyes did not exist before then, but I think its the first time we had both in one child. Hitler tried to re-create the "Airian race" blond hair and blue eyes.
I'm part Neanderthal?! My brother was right! :)
Seriously, I thought blue eyes were just a mutation after homo erectus moved north.
I think we were seeded from all over and other alien races intervened too so I would not pay that too much mind.
This is but one part of the many origins of man.
But if you really want to believe your brother........
Will a banana make you feel better?
Ha. Love bananas but they are fattening. :) Speaking of food, I have a question about diets. I've been a vegetarian for many years, decades, but I've always consumed dairy products and eggs, and I'm fairly sure that Vegans do not. What is the Vegan reasoning for not eating dairy foods and eggs?
I am an A Blood group and apparently our best sources of protein is plant protein. I believe through years of domesticated farming the A's adapted to dairy (raw milk) eggs and all the yummy farm foods.
BUT commercial dairy is a huge no-no for various reasons such as the fact that we as a species cannot process it well in our bodies.
Remember that milk is supposed to bring a calf from birth to over 500 kg in a short time.
Only from babies to about five do we release what is needed to break down and process milk in our infancy, but I also believe we adapt.
The biggest reason for me not consuming milk in excess is because milk has more protein than calcium. Animal protein, meat, eggs brings the body into an acidic state that causes cancer in the long run but to cope with it your body leeches your calcium to keep trying to restore the ph balance back to alkaline which is our natural ph.Thus if you really have a bone problem then stay away from too much animal protein and that includes milk.
Animal protein needs to be broken down with acid first before it is used by the body and this is why it takes PH out of balance. It is your own acid secretion in your intestine that needs to be neutralised by leeching your calcium every time. This process also taps body strength because the stomack simply takes what it needs (up to 80% of your energy) in energy when it digests. Ever wonder why big meals want to put you to sleep?
Plant protein on the other hand is not really protein but rather the building blocks of protein that your body then assembles tailor made for its needs to work exactly as needed without creating a sick acidic environment in the process. It is much more healthy and you don't lose energy in the digestion process. The body then uses the excess energy to maintain health.
In mechanical terms I can say meat is like collecting parts from a junk yard and stripping it down to get the parts you need to make the protein model that works so-so for you over a long time. Plant protein is like a car factory that gets exactly what it needs in brand new parts and turns them out by the dozen to built the right proteins you need in sufficient amounts in no time at all.You can see what will be the most energy efficient and produce the best protein.
It makes sense that when you want to be more psychic you need a natural alkaline PH and that is why red meat (that takes long to digest) is not advisable because it puts the body in an acidic state until it is processed providing your body has enough calcium available to restore PH afterwards.
A lot of deformation was deliberately put into health education for years and years (since the school of medicine began (Rockefeller foundation) because medicine is about symptomatic treatment, not about healthy living.) Hence many people will argue with my comment here because they fell prey to the disinformation system that is popularly spread in all media. My information comes from the original puritans who believed in keeping the body clean and pure and happens to be the basis of "Fit For Life" living.
I am not vegan or vegetarian. I am into anatomy and health and from that perspective, animal proteins counter the process. I like eating meat and cheese from time to time but I budget my energy for it. I will not eat meat when I plan on healing, meditation and a dynamic work day.
You are refferring to the Atkins diet.
I learnt about it later after I tried the Fit for life diet and it worked wonders for me. Apparently its good for everyone because it allows a little meat providing one eats a lot of leafy raw vegetables that brings ones calcium levels up.
Locally it was introduced to me by a group called "Energised living" who promoted the Fit for life diet as the ultimate solution to health and many people of all blood types praised it.
According to Atkins the blood types adapted to their ancestors behaviours and the blood types were formed through diet. I tried it too and it also worked for me but according to them I was supposed to be a Dairy consumer.
After I weaned myself off milk with Fit for life my appetite for milk has been gone forever. Milk tastes like liquid fat to me unless it is something synthetic like cocoa or soy milk. But then we don't have raw milk that freely available which could be another story altogether.
Fit for life came about through the study of a group of people, who gave a blood sample every hour upon the hour to determine what a body does around a 24 hour cycle and when, instead of listening to mainstream medicine pushers.

Each week throughout the season we'll ask Patriots correspondent and Boston Herald writer Ian Rapoport five questions about the Pats. This week, Ian explained why the Patriots play so well in the snow and talked about Darius Butler's return to the field.
1. Have the players remained focused and 'Patriot-like' during their current winning streak?
Rapoport: After the games they will enjoy the individual victories. They're all competitors, they'll really like shutting up a team that's talking a lot. If (the media) made a big deal about an aspect of another team and they stopped it, they'll appreciate that. But it's rare to catch them in those reflective modes. They have a quiet confidence.
2. What is it about this team and the snow?
Rapoport: They probably hate it during the week. They practice in it a lot and that has made a huge difference. It's miserable, and the guys from Florida, Georgia and Texas don't like practicing in it, but when you do, in a game, it's not that big of a deal. They're always cold — they practice in it all the time. I don't think they're getting better in the snow but they don't get worse — they don't change a thing. It's pretty impressive.
3. How has CB Darius Butler fared in his return to the field?
Rapoport: I think he's been better. He's a great athlete and it's tough to put a guy like that who can run, jump and can move quickly on the sidelines. He struggled playing the ball, but he had a pass deflection against the Bears and one against the Jets. He is definitely playing the ball in the air a little better. His coverage was fine on guys like we saw against the Jets and Bengals early on, but his reacting to the ball has improved. This season has been a tough one for him. It took sitting on the bench for him to learn and get better.
4. Assuming Aaron Rodgers is healthy, what kind of defense will we see from the Patriots, the confusing coverages or more of an attack-minded "D"?
Rapoport: It's tough to attack because sometimes you don't get there, and that's scary for (Bill) Belichick. They will disguise a lot. The biggest difference with the defense to me is that they know how to cover and they know their schemes, so they can add new wrinkles — that's a big difference. They will disguise and do what they've been doing against Jets and Bears. If (Rodgers) plays, it'll be tough, but they did trick (Peyton) Manning into two picks.
5. What's your prediction for Sunday night's game?
Rapoport: It helps (the Patriots) that the Packers might not have (Rodgers) 100 percent or not have him practice a lot, if he plays. The Patriots will come down to earth a little. It should be a close win, they are moving along too well right now to think that they'd lose. Patriots 31, Packers 24

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'CAT(0) cube complexes' tag.
I am in Paris attending a workshop at the IHP where Ian Agol has just given the first of three talks outlining his proof of the Virtual Haken Conjecture and Virtual Fibration Conjecture in 3-manifold topology (hat tip to Henry Wilton at the Low Dimensional Topology blog from whom I first learned about Ian's announcement last week). I think it is no
under overstatement to say that this marks the end of an era in 3-manifold topology, since the proof ties up just about every loose end left over on the list of problems in 3-manifold topology from Thurston's famous Bulletin article (with the exception of problem 23 — to show that volumes of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds are not rationally related — which is very close to some famous open problems in number theory). The purpose of this blog post is to say what the Virtual Haken Conjecture is, and some of the background that goes into Ian's argument. I hope to follow this up with more details in another post (after Agol gives talks 2 and 3 this coming Wednesday). Needless to say this post has been written in a bit of a hurry, and I have probably messed up some crucial details; but if that caveat is not enough to dissuade you, then read on.

Advocates for and against stricter gun-control laws testified at a hearing on gun violence prevention. The hearing was held in part in reaction to the December 2012 elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head by a gunman at a 2011 event in her district, gave a brief statement at the opening of the hearing, urging Congress to come to a solution to prevent gun violence. close

"One morning I was putting up pots of flowers in Gamble Park," says Gurganus, who's in his seventh year with Jasper's street department after a 28-year career with Marshall Durbin, "and I was near the walking track when this lady stopped and said, 'I need you to be here every morning when I walk, and whistle that same tune for me.'
"Till this day, sometimes I'll be working in the park and suddenly a voice from the track will say, 'You're not whistling my song!'"
Passersby who happen upon Gurganus's whistling say it's hard to forget. Also hard to describe, although "concert-quality" is one modifier that comes to mind. It has richness and volume, and an occasional run of trilling double-notes that sound as if he's providing his own harmony.
He's never had lessons, and he doesn't read music. He credits his skill partly to DNA: he "picked it up" as a kid by listening to his father. And his son and daughter, both grown and 30-ish, learned it from him. "I can sing a little bit," he says, "just enough to get by. Sometimes I'm asked to lead singing at church, but my voice is nowhere near as good as some people's."
Likewise, though much of Gurganus's working day during spring and summer involves flowers, shrubs, and trees, he has no formal horticulture training. "It's something I've learned as I went along," he says, "with the help of Bob Webb, who showed me a lot of things as I was starting out." (Webb, formerly head of the department, has since retired.)
There's something about working with your hands in the wide open spaces that lends itself to spontaneously whistling a tune, Gurganus says. "I don't give a lot of thought to it, but when I'm by myself, outside, I like to have something for my mind to do besides what I'm working on."
Most people fill that need with an iPod and headphones, but Gurganus finds that whistling works just as well—and doesn't require batteries, besides.
"It's not something I have to be 'in the mood for.' Sometimes I'll not be feeling so great, and after I've whistled a tune it seems like I actually feel better. It sort of pulls me through the rough spots. And if I ever go for a long period of time without whistling, one of my co-workers will say, 'That's not like you, Danny! How about whistling us a tune?' And I'll say, 'All right, what do y'all want to hear?'"
His favorite songs for the purpose are from the country and gospel categories, he says. A few that come immediately to mind are "Farther Along," "Jesus, Hold My Hand," and "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky-Tonk Angels."
Passersby often ask him if he's entered talent contests (he hasn't). But one of the most encouraging comments came from a gentleman on Courthouse Square, a while back: "I was just whistling kind of low, and he came up and said to me, 'Would you whistle for my wife, what you were whistling just a minute ago?' I said, 'Sure,' and when I was finished he said, 'I tell you what, I've traveled all over the world and I've heard a lot of people whistle, but I've never heard anything like that.' And I told him how much I appreciated that. It sure felt good."
As it turns out, Danny isn't the first Gurganus to attract interest from bystanders for his whistling skills. His father, as a young man, worked for Western Union, and one day was delivering a telegram to a Jasper radio station when one of its DJs heard the happy tune approaching and complimented Gurganus Sr. on it.
"Would you be willing to do some whistling for us, on the air?" the DJ asked. Danny's father thought about it for a minute and replied, "Thank you, but I'd rather not."
"He told me that story when I was still living at home," Danny recalls. "And he said, 'You know, I probably should have taken the opportunity, looking back. But I didn't."
Entertainment value aside, whistling is a skill that has a more practical use, as well: "When I was a kid and was in the woods with Daddy, hunting, we had a special whistle we used, to keep track of where one another was. And the same thing with my son and me when we hunt, now."
Well-used whistling muscles also make for some above-average animal calls, he finds. One of his favorite memories from when his children were young is of sitting on the front porch with them at dusk, hearing a quail calling from the woods and responding to it until the bird gradually walked up into their yard, looking puzzled because there were no other quail to be seen.
But the art of serious whistling seems to have gone into eclipse, in recent years. It's a far cry from the days when pro whistlers performed the TV theme songs for such popular programs as "Lassie" and "The Andy Griffith Show," and movies like "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." And Otis Redding's recording of "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" included a whistled verse that became one of the hit song's most distinctive features.
(Redding had planned to go back into the studio and replace the whistling with a new verse, according to a biography of the Macon, Ga., soul singer, but he died shortly afterward in the crash of his chartered plane.)
There may be a revival on the way, though. Not long ago, radio's Billboard Top 40 included seven songs that feature whistling—by artists as diverse as Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Jason Derulo, OneRepublic, and Britney Spears. Ryan Tedder, lead singer of OneRepublic, proclaimed the trend as no less than "a whistle revolution," and Rolling Stone magazine compiled the 15 greatest moments in recorded whistling history.
As for Danny Gurganus, the Wheel of Time has come full circle, from his father's opting out on a radio whistling experience, decades ago. Gurganus is scheduled to be featured sometime in November on WJLX Radio's "Music from Home" show, that focuses on Alabama singers, songwriters, and musicians.

More reviews by DivaDeLosMuertos
Tried this, Didn't like it. Way too shimmery and unnatural looking to use on my face so I gave it away to a friend. Would try again if it were matte, or atleast more subtle!
Bought this in Spotlight peach and i loved it, the colors are very pretty the lighter pink is more shimmery then the others, they give off good color and don't appear chalky, they are also very smooth, the dark brown color is the only color that i feel isnt true to the shade it appears in the pan, it actually comes off as a light peach brown instead of a dark peachy brown, but it still looks pretty, this also gives you a nice peachy glow if you use all the colors on your cheeks, and it make a great eyeshadow
I have this product in Catwalk Pink and I really like it. I don't find it too sparkly at all...it gives my face a nice bronzy glow. I swirl my brush in the whole thing so I get all the colors at once and it makes a really nice shade. Will definitely purchase again, although I think it will take a long time to use up the product as they give you a lot.

I really like this one. It's cheap and it works quite well.
It really highlights those certains parts of my face.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I would stay away from this for the over 40 gals.....or maybe use as an eye shadow. You know that the sparkles will emphasize the lines/pores. You want a glow, not sparkle...it's not finely milled enough to be of top quality, hence the low price. Mine is the starlit bronze, but I'm sure the particle sizes are the same whatever shade. But I would of loved this 20-25 years ago.

This has been a staple for me for the past 2 years. I use the Starlight Bronze and I love it. It replaced Bobbi Brown bronzer for me. I love some expensive make-up, but will always go with a cheaper version if it works! The color is perfect on me. Not too dark and doesn't give that muddy look. It also isn't so shimmery that my face looks like a disco ball. I use this every single day.
The only problem is that a lot of my CVS stores have stopped carrying it! The last time I had to repurchase it took me a few days to find it, and they only had one in stock. Hopefully next time, I can finda store that has several and I can buy a few of them.
These are lovely. There are four disks on the market and all of them are glowy. One - starlight bronze - is a bronzer. Catwalk pink is 1/2 bronzer and 1/2 highlighter. Strike-a-pose-rose and spotlight peach are blushes. They all impart a really gorgeous glow. I absolutely recommend these. I'm nc37 for reference. The quality is amazing. You can also use the individual strips in each disk as eyeshadows. They all impart a beachy, healthy glow.

I've only used the Starlight Bronze shade but I absolutely love it as a bronzer/ blush. I am very tan (I use Tan in Bare Minerals Matte but I'm around NC 42 shade, maybe a little darker now since it's summer), and I swirl all the colors together and use it as a blush on my cheeks. It is shimmery, but that's great because it gives me a summery, natural glow. I mean, they do call it an "illuminating powder," so it's great for highlighting. I also use this as eyeshadow, the lightest shade as a highlight and the darker shades in my crease. I will purchase again. The price is so inexpensive and it's easy to get Wet N Wild products (which are surprisingly pretty good), so I really can't beat that.
This is an okay bronzer. It seems more like a blush to me. It's a little dark on my skin and a little bit too glittery/fake-ish looking and it's a little messy. But it does make my face 'glow' and the colors make great eye shadows, too.
a few months ago, i bought "strike a pose rose" after reading rave reviews on the site. I tried really hard to like the product, but I must say i am disappointed!
i'm NC25 and no matter if i use just the darkest colour as bronzer or swirl the middle 2 together as a blush, i just couldn't make it work. the lightest colour didn't show up at all, so it was useless for me. i don't think it's very workable b/c of its cakey texture; not fine enough to be blendable. perhaps i got a product that's been sitting on the shelf too long, but i don't like it at all.

EVANSVILLE — Former Otwell Principal Rick Fears has filed suit in U.S. District Court against the Pike County School Corporation.
The suit, filed Tuesday in Evansville, alleges wrongful termination by the board alleging wrongful termination, breach of contract and employment discrimination.
Fears was fired by the board on Sept. 3 after being placed on administrative leave on July 17, weeks before school was to begin.
The complaint said Fears had been "singled out and treated differently" than other employees of the school corporation because he spoke out concerning "the functionality of the board's plans." The complaint did not specify what that speech was, but said there will be evidence and witnesses to prove that claim.
"The plaintiff was held in a different standard that other teachers in the employ of the defendant, Pike County School Corporation, and was subjected to discipline for acts that were tolerated and/or accepted in other employees," the complaint read.
In the findings of fact statement released by the board in September, Fears was fired for allegedly not performing teacher evaluations, falsifying attendance records, insubordination and violating the Federal Education Right to Privacy Act. The suit counters the board's findings, saying the board found insufficient grounds for the cancellation of his contract "based on insubordination.
The suit also alleges the school corporation breached Fears' contract. A copy of the contract was included.
The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages from the board and also asks for a restraining order against the board from enforcing Fears' termination.
While principal at Otwell Elementary, Fears led one of the highest-performing schools in the state, according to ISTEP scores. The school has earned honors from the state and in 2011, was named a national Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. In the latest set of test scores from the 2013 ISTEP tests, all of Otwell's students in grades three through five passed the math portion of the test and all but two students passed the language arts portion.
Jim Issacs was named interim principal in place of Fears and started the year. The school corporation has 30 days respond to the complaint. Pike County Superintendent Suzanne Blake was out of the office. Mark Phillips, Fears' attorney, was also unavailable for comment.
The suit was first reported in The (Jasper) Herald.

Hudson man arrested for allegedly pulling up to drive-through windows while naked
A 34-year-old man is accused of pulling up to fast food windows in Westborough while wearing nothing but a jacket over his legs.
Rosildo C. Santos, Jr., of Hudson, was charged with open and gross lewdness early Sunday morning for allegedly being naked while pulling through the Dunkin' Donuts and McDonald's drive-throughs, according to Westborough police.
An officer was interviewing employees about the incident at the Rte. 9 Dunkin' Donuts when Santos allegedly pulled up naked for the second time, according to the report.
Police followed him to a nearby McDonald's, which was closed, and arrested him down the road. Police claim Santos was indeed in the buff. He is due in court Tuesday.

According to WV State Code, the IEP Team must consider acceleration for students identified as gifted. The Team may decide that acceleration is not appropriate for the student, but the Team must document their consideration of acceleration in the Present Levels of Academic Achievement section of the IEP. For example; "At this time, the data does not indicate the need for acceleration to the next grade level in reading/language arts, science and social studies."
If the Team decides that acceleration to an above grade level course or class is appropriate, there must be evidence that the student has already mastered grade level WV content standards and objectives. The assessment must be included in the benchmark or formative data. For example; "The student will benefit from acceleration in the math curriculum to 7th grade math as she has mastered 6th grade math according to the results of a custom-made 6th-grade math test using Acuity.
Page___ of ___
Narrative Descriptions of Present Levels of Academic Achievement and
Functional Performance
Jane, who will be in 7th grade in the 2009-2010 school year, scored at the Distinguished Level in Reading/Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies on the 6th grade 2008 WESTEST 2. Using the Acuity assessment tool, Jane demonstrated above mastery level skills in the 7th grade WV math curriculum using an above-grade level custom-made math test in Acuity. Using teacher-made rubrics and checklists, Jane demonstrated mastery and above level skills in the 6th grade Reading/Language Arts, Writing, Science and Social Studies curriculum. General education teachers report that she successfully completes all assignments and participates in class discussions.
Given a learning styles inventory, Jane is a logical/mathematic learner who
learns best by using logic and patterns to solve problems. She will benefit
from the provision of logical activities involving equations to solve a real-world
problem. Jane would also benefit from activities that develop verbal/linguistic
skills in order to better communicate math and logic skills.
Given the Learning Skills/Behavior Rubric, Jane scored in the Developing range overall. Her weakest area was "Gathering Data" – "uses all available sensory pathways to learn and transfers the information to improve overall learning; can distinguish fact from fiction." Another area in which she showed limited skills was "Thinking Flexibly" – "considers new information and demonstrates ability to change direction or use different strategies when needed." In addition, limited skills were demonstrated in "Persisting" – "sustains problem solving process over time" and "Questioning and Posing Problems" – "probes deeper into an issue or problem and sees alternate points of view."
Jane has mastered 6th grade Writing CSOs at the distinguished level on the 6th grade WESTEST 2. To further develop her verbal/linguistic skills and to differentiate a writing product as a 7th grader, she will develop an informational brochure. Jane will also benefit from activities that develop effective communication of her research using spoken, written, and visual language for a variety of audiences and for different purposes.
As the assessment of above-grade level skills in math indicates, Jane has already mastered the 7th grade math curriculum. She also has a great interest in math and wishes to pursue a career that involves math. The Team considered acceleration based on the assessment data. Jane will be accelerated in the math curriculum to 8th grade math.
Functional Skills
At this time, the data does not indicate the need for acceleration to the next grade level in reading/language arts, science and social studies. Jane continues to need the provision of extension activities and more in-depth study of topics focusing on higher-order thinking skills to enrich the grade-level curriculum.
Activities that develop critical thinking such as analysis of the text by distinguishing between fact and opinion, determining the credibility of the source, evaluating its relevance in present day living, and predicting any impact on future living; the application of the steps of a problem-solving model to complete a project; and planning, developing, organizing, and delivering a research project with documented sources, in-text citations to avoid plagiarism, and computer-generated graphic aids, will be provided.
Impact Statement:
Jane's exceptional intellectual ability and academic achievement indicates she may be under-challenged in the grade-level content normally provided in the general classroom. This impacts her educational progress by causing a loss of interest in learning and lessening her motivation to make gains in academic achievement.

I attended a wonderful Tennessee state conference that filled the downtown Chattanooga Convention Center and several satellite sites, April 23-25. The high school and college/postsecondary associations run parallel conferences in the same facility, but hold separate opening banquets and awards ceremonies. On Monday evening, Carol Myers, SkillsUSA Tennessee high school association state director, and corporate member, Sue Tucker, managed a banquet for nearly 1,400 high school participants. The state officer team did a great job running the show. Carl Creasman, college/postsecondary state association director and his officer team hosted an opening banquet the following evening for nearly 500 participants. Board member James King, and national officer, Jeremy Ballentine, were both key parts of the ceremonies. James King certainly had everyone's attention when he presented a brand new car to the outstanding student of the year.
I keynoted both banquets. Also speaking was Bill Prince, a native of Tennessee, a former national staff member and special advisor to President Reagan. Bill spoke about his participation at the founding of VICA in Nashville in 1965 and the founding of the postsecondary division in 1969. He was truly inspirational. It was also great to hear Danielle Mezera, the new assistant commissioner for CTE, speak at the high school division banquet. I had dinner with her and then toured the Championships floor – a mini national Championships in an exhibit hall – with her the following day. She promised to come to NLSC.
It was great to see Chip Harris at the conference. He is recovering well and promises to be at NLSC to chair the national Quiz Bowl contest. And, a giant thank you goes to Carol Myers and Carl Creasman for the excellent job at this year's conference.
I also visited Columbus, Ohio for SkillsUSA Ohio's 60th anniversary state conference. Mike Cowles said it was Ohio's largest conference ever with 5,000 attending – including 2,200 competitors – and the event takes up the entire Ohio State Fair Grounds. I had lunch and great conversation with Steve Gratz, Ohio state CTE director, and met with Stan Heffner, state superintendent of education. Stan said the SkillsUSA Ohio conference is the "number one event on his calendar every year."
Ohio had 50 state officer candidates and a huge delegate assembly. The election process was exciting and very intense. Ohio also had a run-off for several national officer candidates. Being elected as a state officer in Ohio is a very prestigious position and one that garners a lot of attention. The current state and national officers on the Ohio stage did a magnificent job of running the show. A big thank you goes out to State Association Director, Mike Cowles, and his management team for their leadership and for such a high quality event.

final polls taken in the run-up to Tuesday's vote indicated that while his
Likud-Beytenu party would indeed claim the most seats, there would be a
significant drop from the 42 seats that it boasted when Likud and
Yisrael Beytenu joined forces back in October.

EVERMAN — Ben Allen would like to consider himself just like any other groom planning a wedding. For weeks he's been ordering flowers and discussing decorations.
But on Monday — when he called to book a venue for his reception — he ran into problems when it became clear he was marrying a man.
"She immediately responded with, 'Well, no, I don't do that,' and that was just the end of that," Allen said. "It felt like somebody had just hit me in the face."
Allen, 26, and his partner of eight years, Justin Hudgins, 29, hoped to book a wedding reception for 150 guests at the All Occasion Party Place near Fort Worth. But Allen said he was told by phone and by e-mail the business won't serve gays.
"It is because of God that I will not be a part in your reception, and I know he loves you, but not what you are doing," an employee at the hall, Robin Hearne, wrote to Hudgins in an e-mail he provided to News 8. "I simply said I can not rent to you which is also my right."
The case is the latest outrage among activists frustrated in a state still far from legalizing same-sex marriage or strengthening gay rights.
"Refusing to provide services or public accommodations to anyone solely because of their sexual orientation or gender identity is wrong," said Chuck Smith with Equality Texas. "Texans are proud people who believe in hard work and treating each other with dignity and respect."
Still, lawyers say what All Occasion Party Place did is completely legal. Unlike race or religion, federal and state laws don't consider sexual orientation a protected class.
"There's nothing illegal about it," said Peter Schulte, a Dallas attorney who has handled gay rights cases, but is not working on this one. "If a restaurant puts out a sign that says, 'We're not going to accept gays and lesbians,' then they can do that."
Gays may not be considered a protected class at the federal and state level, but cities and towns have been stepping in to pass their own discrimination laws protecting homosexuals.
In recent years, Fort Worth expanded its laws to not only forbid discrimination based on sexual orientation, but also the more loosely-defined terms of gender identity and gender expression.
The law applies to many groups of people and protects them from discrimination whether they are an employee or a customer.
Fort Worth only receives a handful of complaints a year, said Tracy Lasseter, with the city's Human Relations Commission. Violators can face a $500 fine, but Lasseter says they've never issued one.
"The hammer is not very big," she admits. "We try to work out reconciliation with both parties."
City workers try to reach an agreement between the company and the complainant — either with an apology or the promise of extra sensitivity training.
Since state and federal laws trump local laws, Schulte says a judge would likely toss out the Fort Worth mandate if a fined company ever challenged the ordinance in court.
"It's nice that it's there. It's nice that it's on paper," Schulte said, "but at this point the statutes really don't have any teeth to them."
All Occasions sits just outside Fort Worth's city limits, so the city's discrimination laws do not apply.
Allen and Hudgins are now looking for other venues, while hoping that by going public their story will change minds.
"We're just people," Hudgins said. "We're not a gay couple... we're a couple that loves each other."

Reviewed May. 2, 2010
Cooking the catfish in the jambalaya caused the taste of catfish to overpower everything else. I would recommend cooking the catfish separately and adding it right at the end so you get a more balanced mix of flavors.
Reviewed Jan. 23, 2010
I had on hand about 1.2 lbs of catfish so I added a can of no salt added tomato sauce and 1/2 can of white beans as well as some thyme. I will make again, but I will add some addition spices such as basel and a total of 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne to make it spicier.

LAS VEGAS, May 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A double celebration hit Las Vegas over Memorial Day Weekend with the official opening of Drai's Beach Club - Nightclub and The Cromwell. After more than 15 years of imagining his dream nightclub, Victor Drai officially opened the doors to his 65,000 square foot rooftop venue on May 23, 2014.

Already noted by NYTimes.com as, "A Las Vegas Boutique Hotel with Star Power," The Cromwell enjoys a prime location on the Strip and is the city's first standalone boutique hotel. The hotel recently underwent a $185 million renovation in February 2013 and features an impressive array of entertainment options, including Bound by Salvatore, the hotel lobby bar featuring world renowned master mixologist Salvatore Calabrese; Interlude, a casino lounge perfectly located and sure to be the central hub of the hotel; The Abbey, a reserved gaming salon; a 40,000-square-foot casino with 66 table games and 440 slot machines and GIADA, Giada De Laurentiis' first restaurant (opening June 3).
To enter Drai's visionary new take on nightlife, guests make their way to the roof via six express elevators from The Cromwell casino floor, and are whisked to the roof top where they are met with the incredible reveal; showcasing the nightclub, the beach club and a panoramic view of Las Vegas that is truly unmatched in the city. "This is a dream for me," said Victor Drai. "We have created the next frontier for Vegas nightlife and we did it on a roof that before now was wasted space. That's what I love about Las Vegas – if you have a vision, the right team and partners, you really can make the impossible happen."
Already being heralded by Robin Leach with the eye-catching headline, "There is no other club in America like this," Drai's is now home to world-renowned Resident DJ's and 360 degree views of Vegas below and above. Additionally, Drai's has created an unprecedented menu of services, amenities and surprises ranging from the sublime private cabanas to unbelievable ultra-luxury packages which are setting the bar for VIP service in Las Vegas. Drai's is also the only club where fireworks can be set off high above the Las Vegas Strip (day or night). Packages and menus include:
If lighting your very own fireworks show has always been a dream, Drai's will make it a reality with their Fire in the Sky packages, which complement their copious bottles of Dom Luminous with a detonator.
In addition to the 169 standard accommodations which are reminiscent of Parisian style, and create a residential feel with distressed hardwood flooring, vintage luggage and trunk-style furnishings, The Cromwell debuted its 19 impressive suites this week, ranging from a 723-square-foot one-bedroom to the 2,550-square-foot, six-bedroom Cromwell Suite. All suites are strategically positioned for guests to enjoy unrivaled views of the Strip from several vantage points, and are equipped with full-size refrigerators, wet bars that can be stocked based on guest preference, steam showers, deep soaking tubs, and popular gaming table elements, including pool tables or pin ball machines.
Both The Cromwell and Drai's Beach Club - Nightclub are now open.

Back in the old days — you know, the 1900s — great teen idol names were adopted more than born. Think Sandra Dee (nee Alexandra Zuck), Lulu (Marie Lawrie), Pink (Alecia Moore), Scary Spice (Melanie Brown).
Now comes Victoria Justice, a 19-year-old from Hollywood, Fla., who was handed that name at birth. Her parents might have been hoping she'd become a superhero. Close. She's the star of her own show, "Victorious," which airs on Nickelodeon and has spawned a robust singing career and even a few fashion trends — that's why you see so many pre-teenyboppers in layered tank tops, boots, and feathered earrings.

The Steelers trailed 7-0 at halftime on Sunday at Baltimore. That doesn't seem like an insurmountable lead, but it was starting to look like one for Pittsburgh, which had lost to the Ravens earlier in the season in Pittsburgh and were in danger of being swept. QB Ben Roethlisberger was playing on an injured foot and had suffered a broken nose. The defense had surrendered 173 yards in the first half. P Daniel Sepulveda was out with a knee injury, leaving PK Shaun Suisham to handle the punting.
Somehow, though, the Steelers got off the mat. The defense surrendered just 96 yards and three points in the final two quarters. Roethlisberger completed 13-of-19 passes for 161 yards in the second half after completing just 9-of-19 for 92 yards in the first 30 minutes.
With Pittsburgh trailing 10-6 with a little more than three minutes left in regulation, SS Troy Polamalu made the game-altering play the Steelers needed, bursting off the left edge, hitting QB Joe Flacco and forcing a fumble that was recovered by LOLB LaMarr Woodley, who rumbled to the Baltimore nine.
From there, it was up to the Steelers' offense to take care of business, and it did. Roethlisberger, in a key play, avoided a sack on first down by managing to stay up and throw the ball away as Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs — who had a tremendous game — tried to bring him down. Then, on third down, he found RB Isaac Redman — who had caught all of five passes this season — on a quick-hitter across the middle as the Ravens blitzed. Redman ran out of a tackle attempt by SS Dawan Landry and bounced off another attempt by SLB Jarret Johnson and into the endzone to give the Steelers their first lead of the game at 13-10 with 2:51 left. When Flacco underthrew TE Ed Dickson on a 4th-and-2 play with 37 seconds left, the Steelers had secured the victory.
"Tough place to play, but let's be frank, we needed to come here and even the score in this matchup," Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said. They came to our place earlier in the year and got us. So we had to even the score. Thankfully, we did, and we'll push on."
The PFW spin
Here are a few points to take away from the Steelers' win at Baltimore:
— Roethlisberger and Polamalu showed why they are two of the better players at their respective positions. The Ravens shut down the Steelers' running game, putting it on Roethlisberger to carry the offense, and he did just that against a tough defense and in trying circumstances. Sacked three times and under pressure on numerous other occasions, Roethlisberger stood in and led his team back in the second half.
Polamalu's hit on Flacco came as the quarterback was making a three-step drop and looking to throw a short pass to his right. He never had a chance as Polamalu, whose short-area burst rivals any safety's in football, closed and hammered him.
"It was actually a run pressure. We anticipated them to maybe run the football, and we were trying to drop them for a loss, get them off schedule, you know, keep them off schedule," Tomlin said afterward. "... Troy's a great player. A lot of guys would go in there and sack the quarterback. He sees the game a little differently; that's what makes him special."
— The defense remains one of the NFL's best and shut down a talented offense in the final 30 minutes. The Steelers can be vulnerable vs. the pass at times — only eight teams have allowed more yards through the air — but good luck running on them. Their strong second-half performance Sunday was impressive and reminiscent of their play earlier this season, when the defense propelled Pittsburgh to a 3-1 start.
— Redman's development is another example of how the Steelers are strong at developing young talent. A former undrafted free agent from Bowie State, Redman, a first-year pro (he was on the roster for one game last season but didn't earn an accredited season), has shown marked improvement this season, earning a role as a short-yardage back. Roethlisberger had enough confidence to look for him on the key third down of the game, and Redman showed enough strength and athleticism to make an outstanding individual effort to score what was the game-winning TD.
"I thought I was going to be in there for protection in case of a blitz, but the ball came my way, and I wasn't going to be denied," Redman said. "When you're playing with a guy like Ben Roethlisberger, you see him bleeding, and he's got a bad foot. He's the kind of guy you want on your sideline. I'm happy we could get this done."
— The Steelers paid a big price in injuries in the victory. Sepulveda, who's had a history of knee injuries, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right leg. His loss can't be glossed over; he has been punting very well this season. The Steelers are charged with finding a capable replacement in December, which is not easy or ideal. TE Heath Miller (concussion) and ORT Flozell Adams (ankle) also left the game. Roethlisberger had surgery on his broken nose on Monday, but he is expected to play Sunday vs. Cincinnati, according to ESPN.
Of Roethlisberger's ability to play hurt, Tomlin said, "That's Ben. We expect that from him, not that it's unappreciated. It is. But we expect it from him, and he expects it from himself."
Nevertheless, Roethlisberger's health down the stretch, and the Steelers' ability to protect him, is no small issue to monitor.
