JOLIET, Ill. (July 1, 2012) – The 15th annual O'Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 NHRA Nationals provided the opportunity for Pro Stock driver Shane Gray and his Gray Motorsports team to continue fine-tuning their new NTB/Service Central Chevy Camaro and acquire even more information that will be useful in the future as the Countdown to the Championship draws closer.
Gray showed marked improvement and comfort in his two-race old Chevrolet throughout qualifying as he clicked off runs of 6.69, 6.66, 6.66, and 6.64 to earn a raceday position in the field. With 22 cars vying for 16 spots, it was no easy feat, but the team's steady focus and consistency ensured their berth.
Raceday dawned with a bleak weather forecast that delayed the opening act by several hours, and Gray and his compadres patiently waited out the storm but were rewarded with a too-early exit handed to them by young gun Vincent Nobile. Nobile was 6.65 as he tripped the final timer on the racetrack, while Gray's scoreboard flashed a 6.67.
"Of course, I'm disappointed. We wanted more," said Gray, who holds the No. 9 position in the Pro Stock standings. "I know it's still pretty early to have such high expectations – this is only our second race with the new car – but we also know this NTB/Service Central Chevy has it in her, and we want to see it on the racetrack. That has us excited, and I'll tell you what: we've got the next race right around the corner, and we're going to keep our expectations high. There's no reason to back down. And we won't."
Gray will drive the NTB/Service Central Chevy Camaro at the next event on the Full Throttle Series tour, Norwalk's Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, in just a few short days, July 6-8.

Mar 11, 2014 0Good winter day DC readers! My goodness what a tough and long 'off' season it has been. I'm 42 years old and although I didn't keep up with the weather as a youngster, I am 97.29% sure this is the hardest winter I've seen. Snow and ice are a drag racer's enemy and we've had […]

News: Bow Wow Exposes Biggest Weakness, "[It] Has Definitely Road Blocked Me"
Thursday, Aug 19, 2010 11:35AM
Actor/rapper Bow Wow has revealed one of his biggest weaknesses in his career and which Hollywood blockbuster actor's status he is currently pursuing.
For Bow Wow, he has always admired rapper-turned-actor Will Smith.
"I'm not with anyone, I'm just focused on my career, nothing at this moment is more important than my career. I feel like once you feel like sky's the limit and you're in the hot seats you got to stay focused at the task at hand. Right now my task is really trying to be the next Will Smith. You got to keep all your weaknesses away and my weakness is women. I love women too much. Which has definitely road blocked me. I just try my best to channel my energy to other things and remain focus while making my work as fun as everything else. I'm having a lot of fun taking on this new stage in my life becoming a man." (Global Grind)
Recently, Bow Wow announced linking up with The LOX's Jadakiss to work on his upcoming untitled Cash Money Records debut.
"The status on the album, I haven't started on it yet," Bow Wow revealed in an interview. "I have Jadakiss on board. Me and Jada, we're gonna complete my whole entire album. I got Jada as the ambassador of my album. I did that because I wanted somebody who was well respected in hip-hop to challenge me. And coming with the Green Light mixtapes that I've been coming out with, the response I've been getting, I just want to take it to another level so what other way than to have one of the greatest of all time right now and that's Kiss and that's my man. So we're about to get down and do it real big. It's [Cash Money Billionaires], you know what time it is baby." (Real Talk NY)
Last March, Bow Wow revealed that his new double-disc album was in the works.
"Ok, this is the first time i am talking about my 8th album," he wrote Friday (March 5). "I am here to announce that i will have a double disc album. 2 cds in 1 album. With every album i try to be creative when it comes to a theme for my cd's. I have no name yet, or at least i think i do (gnr)...So why not kill 2 birds in 1 stone and give the greenlight fans something to f*ck with and all my male fans who just now f*cking with me and my fans such as the ladies and all my fans that been messing with me since day 1. I want to cater to all my demographics. I want every 1 to be pleased as im gearing up to make my Cash Money debut. So this album is a more of a me thing, but u all will love it. because this album is a reflection of who i am." (Who Is Shad Moss?)
In 2009, the rapper announced his retirement from rap.
"This is my last album because for me, there's no more that needs to be done on the music side, I've done everything," Bow explained. "And the scary thing is I'm 22 years-old and I'm young. I'm still a baby, so it's kinda like on the music side, I've been doing it since five. That's 17 years of non-stop music, music, music. There's nothing more to accomplish that I haven't seen yet...I feel like now it's time to endure a new challenge...Close the chapter on the Bow Wow legacy...As far as albums, I'm good. Seven albums at 22, that's crazy." (Real Talk NY)

Re: Holder for childpages to create layout
24 June 2011 at 12:08am Last edited: 24 June 2011 12:14am
Hmm, but isn't this model then printing only one layout based on PageType and then I have to create the final layout again? I have idea to use already made layout. In this case product 1 page and product 2 page -this way I do not have to make layout again in page holder as the holder only should render the already made layout from the product page 1 and 2 (which are a child pages inside sitetree in CMS). If I have 10 child pages, the holder will be as tall as skyscraper. If I change the order in sitetree and then it automatically changes order in holder also.
Is holder/controller even the right word for whole idea? Dynamically include all child pages with layout after each other in one parent page? Humor: <% if hasChildren %> <% include all children pages with content and $Layout here inside parent in CMSSiteTree order %> <% end>
Has RenderWith() any use in here?

A very common approach in SilverStripe templating is the use of includes:
<% control Children %>
<% if ClassName = PageType1 %>
<% include Layout1 %>
<% elseif ClassName = PageType2 %>
<% include Layout2 %>
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>
You'd have Layout1.ss and Layout2.ss in your Templates/Includes/ directory. Then you could use the same includes to load the appropriate layout within your Pagetype1.ss and your Pagetype2.ss templates for the actual pages...

Getting back to this - it still is more complex then I thought... The examples would work - but only if in the original layout for the different pagetypes no Controller functions are used, because these are not available from within a control loop. You would need access to the different page controllers and have them render the templates.
So I've set up an idea that might work. It's very basic, and I've no idea how it would affect resources, but...
In the Page class:
function RenderAsChild() {
$class = $this->ClassName . "_Controller";
$controller = new $class($this);
return $controller->renderForHolderPage();
In the Page_Controller class
public static $LayoutTemplate = 'CustomPageLayout';
function renderForHolderPage() {
$template = $this->stat('LayoutTemplate');
if ($template) return $this->renderWith(array($template));
else return '';
Now you need only set a different LayoutTemplate for each PageType (could even do it from _config) to determine what template to use - with full access to all controller methods. The HolderPage template just needs this:
<% control Children %>
<% end_control %>
[EDIT] forgot to return the template from the RenderAsChild method. Added that. Also need to use $this->stat to access appr. template...

Now we are getting there! Great idea, got to check this out.

This works perfectly! Thanx for help. Only Pages with WidgetArea are not working, but it is not a problem in this case.
Re: Holder for childpages to create layout

Ok, new ideas needed again to solve problem with <% include SomePart %>. If for example page type "1Col" is used without this renderforHolderpage-method, includes works fine. But when the "1Col" is used as a child page under this holder-page, includes are not working anymore.
Is it possible to make some kind of add on to this code to make it work, or is it just a limitation of the system?

Asian Dub Foundation Biography
Asian Dub Foundation are 21st century MIDI warriors. Their distinctive sound is a combination of hard ragga-jungle rhythms, indo-dub basslines, searing sitar- inspired guitars and 'traditional' sounds gleaned from their parents' record collections, shot through with fast-chat conscious lyrics.
1998's album 'Rafi's Revenge' on London Records met with much critical acclaim and received a Mercury Prize nomination. By that time already considered one of Britain's most exciting live bands, this album helped to introduce them to a wider audience.
ADF talk not only about racism and the experience of Asians in Britain, but are concerned with wider issues of social justice. Their outlook is informed by their continued involvement with campaigning and educational groups. Their music is also intended to encourage peoples' own creativity.
They started off in 1993 at London based organisation Community Music where bassist Dr Das taught music technology. He teamed up with one of his students, rapper Deeder Zaman and civil rights worker DJ Pandit G to form a sound system to play at anti-racist gigs. The following year they recruited guitarist Chandrasonic and started moving further afield. With Sun-J joining in 1995 on live technology and 'radical movements,' the line up was complete.
Their debut album 'Facts and Fictions' (Nation Records) came out in 1995 and was largely overlooked by a country obsessed with retro guitar pop. And at that time, to be 'Asian' was yet to be considered 'cool.' On the continent however, ADF were given ample opportunity to tour and develop their performance skills. Their musical and lyrical package was met with considerable enthusiasm, especially in France where their second album 'R.A.F.I.' was released by Virgin France in 1997. The following year's 'Rafi's Revenge' was in fact a re-recorded, recharged version of R.A.F.I, energised through extensive live playing.
It was Primal Scream who finally brought ADF to the attention of the British media. ADF toured the UK with them in the summer of 1997 having by now signed to London. The Primals also collaborated with ADF on the single 'Free Satpal Ram,' which has done much to draw attention to the situation of an Asian man whom they both believe is yet another recipient of British rough justice.
ADF spent most of 1998 touring, consolidating their reputation for uplifting live sets and for attracting culturally mixed audiences. In Britain, Primal Scream's championing of ADF was soon vindicated. Journalists were taken aback by their energy and made inadequate comparisons to well known previous punk bands. Little did they realise, that aside from having played in front of mad French audiences, it was their own ignoring of the band that had made ADF focus in such a way. ADF performed at many major festivals in the UK and the rest of Europe as well as at Fuji Rock in Japan. A Beastie Boys support tour in the autumn introduced them to the US where they received a warm welcome, much to their own surprise.
ADF's forceful presence has helped to demolish many stereotypes of Asian musicians and by extension, Asian people. An acknowledgement of this came in the form of the BBC Asian Award for Music in December 1998.
Their higher profile enabled ADF to attract funding from the London Arts Board to establish ADF Education (ADFED) to promote and practice the teaching of music and technology to young people. ADFED now functions as an independent organisation running various workshops in London.
ADF did their first headlining tour of the US and Canada in the Spring of 1999 getting an excellent response, with the majority of the dates being sold out. Their album received good exposure on the independent college radio circuit, often receiving top ten placings in the airplay charts.
They have completed their third album 'Community Music' which will be released in March 2000, named of course after the place where they started and out of respect to their ethnically and culturally diverse 'outernational' fanbase.

More than 75 people showed up on Thursday to welcome the Legend and Webb families to the neighborhood.
The families will be the first to occupy homes at the 2-acre Habitat for Humanity-Spokane's Hope Meadows housing development in Deer Park.
The Webbs and Legends, who will not move into their homes until sometime in 2012, were on hand last week for the "raising of the walls" ceremony at the south Colville Avenue site. Joining them were Habitat, Lowe's Hardware (a prime sponsor of the project) and city officials.
Funding for the 114-home project came from different sources, including the Washington State Department of Commerce, Spokane County, the federal government's Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and private donations.
Lowe's Debbie Yates said her company provided a $30,000 grant for the Deer Park project. She added that Lowe's has partnered with Habitat for Humanity nationwide for the past seven years.
More than $2 million was spent in infrastructure improvements before actual home construction started.
The Deer Park structures will be a variety of single- and two-story twin homes. They will all be Energy Star rated and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant.
Habitat for Humanity Director Arlene Patton called Hope Meadows "truly a partnership of opportunity."
Mayor Robert Whisman said the project was a "great use of this land."
The Rev. Kurt Langland provided an opening prayer at the ceremony.
Families must go through an application/screening process to be eligible for one of the homes.
Habitat officials estimate it takes 18-24 months from the time a low-income family begins the application process until they move into the home.
Qualified families must donate 500 hours of "sweat equity" and pay the $2,000 in closing costs before they can move into their new home.
Homeowners purchase the home with a zero-interest loan, which they must pay back to Habitat over 20 or 30 years. Monthly payments will be around $400.
Habitat is still taking applications for homes in the Deer Park project. For more information, call Habitat at 534-2552 or visit www.habitat-spokane.org [3].

Some of you know the story, but since not everyone knows, I thought I'd share it again. How I, in only a few months, came to love hockey. We start with my best friend in Philly: Pam.
Pam and I have been friends for almost four years now, most of that online through a writing site. I liked her stories, she liked mine and we started emailing, which led to online chat, which led to texting. Over the course of those first couple years, I would occasionally hear about hockey and specifically the Flyers. I knew the name of Mike Richards pretty early in the friendship because he was captain and rather dreamy (we're girls and we can't help it.) I didn't pay much attention, but as the good friend that I strive to be, I listened patiently to her woes and elations. She even poured out her heart when Scottie Upshall got traded, mentioning that she knew I had no clue what it meant, but would I please sympathize? Of course I did. I even read her blog that consisted of game updates and crazy things that happened when she got to skip work and go to a practice. I listened and read, but didn't get it.
But in February of 2010, I was at a friend's house after church in Rockford, IL (I was living there at the time) and the last hockey game of the Olympics was on: USA vs. Canada. It was on the television and if a TV's on, I watch. It's impossible for me to look elsewhere. Surprise to me, I knew some of the names of the players: Mike Richards, of course. Sidney Crosby (otherwise known as 'Crybaby' according to Pam). I texted Pam that I was watching the game and she asked immediately who my favorite player was. I looked at my friend's brother for advice and he recommended Jonathan Toews. We had to Google to get the spelling of his name right. And I watched. The whole game.
And I liked it.
I made the mistake of telling Pam that I rather enjoyed watching hockey. Soon my email inbox was full of interviews, videos and photos of Flyers both past and present. I learned the personalities and stats of several of the players and got sucked in. I tried watching Flyers' games when I could, often finding the illegal stream to view. I started matching player numbers with names. And somehow, I was watching when a shootout got them into the playoffs.
Been a fan ever since.
So that's the story and with the very disappointing end to this Flyers season, I thought I'd post something that might put a smile to someone's face as we look toward an excruciatingly long off-season.
These are in no particular order, as I hate to order things. Ever.
1. It's a sport that no one in my immediate family or circle knows a thing about.
I come from a football family. My mom is a Gator and my dad is Sooner and we live in Vols country. If you don't understand how it is lucky that we're still liked by our neighbors, that's another post for another time. I enjoy watching football somewhat, but it's never been my thing. I got into pro-cycling a few years back, but a friend of mine sort of led me through it and when Floyd Landis admitted to doping, I pretty much gave that up. So, sports, college or pro, have never really been my thing.
Fast-forward to now and my brother (Duke basketball fan) marvels at how much I know about hockey and the Flyers. Even more than he knows about basketball. He admitted it.
2. It's a sport and I'm a girl.
One of my mother's first comments on my new interest was "Well, you'll have something to talk to guys about." Apparently my love of Star Wars and James Bond was not enough.
But truly, it's fun to be a girl and know a thing or two about sports, especially hockey. During game one of the Stanley Cup finals last season, I was still in Rockford, IL, which is near Chicago (I have a thing about not being a homer, obviously). I went to a bar with two guy friends of mine (both Hawks fans, but they loved me anyway) and wore an orange shirt. Not Flyers crest emblazoned, but still, I wasn't afraid to show my loyalty. Some of their friends met us there. So I was the only girl in the group and a couple of these guys look at me with disdain and say, "So, you're a Flyers fan?" I nod. With a superior 'I'm a man and I know everything' smile, one asks me, "Who are the four main defensemen?" Without hesitation, I reply, "Pronger, Timonen, Coburn, Carle." And I smile sweetly.
One of the best moments of my damn life was the acknowledgement on their faces. That's right, bitches, I know my shit.
3. It's unlike anything I've cared about before.
I'm a writer, movie-watcher, music-listener, and pretty much soaker of pop culture. I lived in Los Angeles for a few years, so I'm aware. I love story. It's why I read like a crazy person, feel the need to see every new television show at least once, and can't enjoy a movie too easily. I love fiction. Most of my past interests (some might say obsessions) have had something to do with fiction. When you wonder what will happen at the end of Romeo and Juliet, still hoping that Juliet will awake early and she and Romeo will be okay, your world is story. But I know how that ends. At the end of a season of some television show, yeah, I want to know what happens. I'm anticipatory. But I'm not stressed because in the end, it's just fiction.
Hockey is real. I have no damn idea what's going to happen during the sixty minutes of a game. I can't predict and I can't control. It's happening in real time, in real life.
The stress, anticipation and anxiety are overwhelming, but I love it.
4. It's its own sub-culture.
I've always been fascinated by sub-cultures, especially ones I have no entrance into. I once visited the Kentucky Derby and saw the bedraggled and the upper crust. I wondered what that world was like.
Hockey, not being the biggest sport in America, is another type of sub-culture. I'm from the South; it does not make waves down here. My knowledge prior to my friendship with Pam consisted of the Mighty Ducks movies and I only watched those for the pure childhood joy.
For those uninitiated into the hockey world, fans of hockey are considered bloodthirsty and crass (Flyers fans especially). When people and friends found out I loved hockey, they assumed I enjoyed the fights. To my surprise, I do enjoy the fights (Richie's against someone last season as he stuck up for Danny remains one of my favorites as well as Powe's during the Habs game this season that we lost), but that has nothing to do with my love. I love how fast the game is, how talented the players are (I mean, really, using a stick to hit a disc of hard rubber into a net with a big man with padding in front of it? It's incredible), and how the crowd gets into it. I like the crowd, when they're not being terribly rude. I love their cheers and boo's and gasps when we as fans see something so incredible we know it will be on YouTube for decades to come.
Fans are not bloodthirsty. Not always. Often, you can find a fan that is just excited to find another hockey fan (I've run into this in both Nashville and Atlanta) and doesn't care that you're for the other team. You talk about the awesome players (of any team) and just bond because of your love of hockey. That's what being a part of a sub-culture is about.
5. The players are real.
As a lover of film and the art of acting for years, this hits close to home for me. I've followed celebrities (those who and who do not deserve that status). I grew up in the theatre and because of it I do not trust actors. Don't trust musicians either, but that's another story.
I cannot compare hockey stars to other sports' stars all that well, as I haven't paid much attention to the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. But what I have seen is often a lack of humility, a penchant for entitlement, and a waste of financial surplus. Coaches often go off on their players and players often create dissension in their own locker rooms.
Hockey isn't like that. Even my father comments on the difference. The players are real and sincere (generalization, I realize). When they are happy, they hug and celebrate. When they are angry, sticks are banged and a scowl appears. There is no pretense about them. Nothing hidden. I love this.
And then there are the charities. Every player I have read about has some charity they have founded and/or supporting. Usually more than one. I went to my first Flyers Wives' Fight for Lives Carnival this year and it was so awesome to be a part of that program.
Because of my years among actors and other performers, I've learned to distrust eloquent speakers. Give me someone who stumbles over their words, because I can believe they are sincere. Look no further than some of our favorite players. They are not always eloquent or composed, but they are sincere and real.
6. Hockey Commentators
I will, of course, narrow this to the Flyers comms: JJ, Jonesy, and even Coatesy. I love Jeremy Roenick on Versus though. I also like the Tampa Bay comms due to the fact that they cover both teams well, and various others. I like how much I learn from these comms and often how much fun it sound like they are having. I love when their voices grow with anticipation when the players get close to the goal and how the words, phrases they use can often sound dirty.
Which brings me to my next reason.
7. Hockey Jargon
And I'm still learning this stuff. But when you talk about 'magic hands,' 'stick-handling,' 'going deep', etc. I giggle like a ten-year-old boy in most cases. 'Gets him from behind'? How else are we supposed to take that?
On the other side, I like using the jargon. I threw out 'crease' and 'pipes' in front of my brother and had to explain it to him. And I don't care how old we both are (in our 30s), knowing more in anything over my Duke and law school brother is freakin awesome.
8. Broad Street Hockey (broadstreethockey.com)
A site for fans, supported by fans and I have learned so much from you guys. I love the contributors (Travis, Geoff, Ben, Teemu, Eric, Todd, and Shawn) and I find that they cut through the bullshit and politics that accompany the Flyers organization. The fans that keep the threads going are awesome (when they are not, I just close the window, but this is rare). We talk about Flyers, hockey, Star Wars, history, dating…did I mention it's awesome? As a hockey and Flyers fan, I am more knowledgeable because of you people than I ever expected. I cannot wait for the seasons to come.
See above and nuff sed.
10. The game itself
I had the great privilege to see five hockey games live this year. Three Flyers and two Coyotes. Only one was actually at home (I live in TN, so it's Nashville & Atlanta for me). Watching the ability and talent on the ice is incredible. Having my heart pound as I watch men skate up and down the ice, doing what they've been so extremely gifted to do is awesome. There is nothing like it. The music playing over the speakers, the National Anthem (and God Bless America), the fights, the hits, the passing (I love a good pass): Hockey is kick-ass. It takes skill, talent, heart, and pure determination.
How can anyone not love it?

The proposal to incorporate a new city in southeast East Baton Rouge Parish would:
– Remove $85 million in tax revenue from East Baton Rouge Parish.
— Create an annual city-parish budget deficit of $53 million (20% of the entire budget).
— Result in tax increases and/or service cuts for ALL residents of East Baton Rouge Parish, including southeast residents, to make up for revenue losses and create duplicate municipal services.
— Pose a threat to the economic stability of the metro region.
— Increase distrust and division across our community.
We believe the best way to improve our community is to work together, not separate ourselves apart.
Please fill out the form below to sign the petition. One of the options on the petition is to request a yard sign.

Perfect for me, I always have troubles with my bottom lashes and this made the problems go away! I don't want too dramatic of bottom lashes but it would be nice to have them visible, and that is just what it does! Would recommend to everybody, this is a must have.
I have trouble with mascara on my bottom lashes giving me raccoon eyes, so a lady at the Clinique counter told me about this. I love it. I don't have any problems with raccoon eyes, no flaking, and lasts all day.
The concept of this mascara for bottom lashes made me so happy because I'm sure a lot of us has been praying for a product like this! But for me, this smudged and gave me outer bottom corner raccoon eyes! Yes it does flake and it's not very long-lasting. I was disappointed in this. I wish the formula would actually be smudge-proof given that it is for BOTTOM lashes, it would be easier to smudge. I'll probably give it another try since it's been stacked in my makeup drawer forever! The idea is nice but they need to reformulate it to be the one and only bottom lash mascara!
So cute and easy to use. I use it with the High Impact and I'm good to go! I also love the packaging, not that matters hahah but yes! Totally recommend this for someone with tiny bottom lashes like mine. Only bad thing is that it flakes a little but not as much as drugstore mascaras I've used.
I call this my little "sniper" mascara. I work as an SA/MA for Clinique, as I put in the majority of anything I review for the brand I sell. This is a brilliant idea. It's a "baby" mascara wand in cute baby tube of mascara. The wand is miniature so it can get into your bottom lashes and give you that wide-eyed baby doll look. The formulation of this mascara, however, is the real genius. This is the same formula as Clinique's Lash Power mascara. It's made from a polymer formula that will not budge, smudge of flake, but as soon as bath water temperature water hits it, the mascara "relaxes" and can be removed easily. It's also recommended for use for someone who has smaller eyes or really sparse lashes and wants to get in and make the most of them. As soon as I show this to a client and explain what's it used for, most of them buy it. These run $10.00 at Clinique counters nationwide.

Brilliant idea! Don't know why it hasn't been thought of before, and although it may seem to be a good idea in reality it doesn't work for me. The formula is clumpy and does flake. It would have been a lot better if they could thin it out a bit as I still make mistakes (bits going onto my water line or underneath). The packaging is adorable though! Like others have said though I will keep the wand and just use another brand of mascara.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I overall like this product except that it flakes. The brush is perfect for my thin, sparse asian lashes that I use it on my top lashes (my bottom lashes are practically non-existent). It gives pretty good length, so-so volume and keeps my curl halfway in place. Removal is a breeze. As for rebuy, I am sitting on the fence on this one. I may try using the Clinique wand with the L'oreal double extend tubing mascara as I can't remember if that one flaked on me or not.
I really like the brush because it is small so it is easy to apply to the bottom lashes. Unfortunately, it flakes so I will not repurchase. I also think it is expensive for the amount of product that you get. I am disappointed because I did like the coverage. When this runs out, I will save the brush and try it with a different mascara.
More reviews by NerdyLibrarianGirl
What a great idea! I don't usually wear mascara on my bottom lashes because it's too hard to negotiate huge mascara wands, and it usually smudges off anyway. I don't like water proof mascara, but for just the bottom lashes, I'm willing to make an exception. I am a fan of Clinique mascara anyway. I love the teeny-weeny little brush! It's brilliant! I've been wearing it on my lower lashes, even to work, and it doesn't budge. I think this is such a unique product and worth the money.
This is the perfect mascara! It gets every little lash because of the tiny brush. Sometimes I use it for my top lashes. It doesn't smudge but just flakes really little, sometimes not at all. For just $10, you have nothing to lose.

Lizzie didn't ask for a bike for Christmas but Santa thought she was ready to move up from the tricycle. What Santa didn't realize is that the biggest difference between a tricycle and bicycle is that a tricycle does not have brakes. So when Lizzie used to pedal backwards, so did the tricycle. Now when she does it the bicycle comes to a quick stop. This was a bit frustrating to our little one at first and she quickly moved back to her trusty tricycle. After a little more encouragement and want to keep up with big sister she was back on a pedaling along. There were quite a few stops and requests for help to keep going but she was determined to not let the bicycle win.

The Commercial-News
---- — BISMARCK — At a glance Friday night's matchup between the undefeated Bismarck-Henning Blue Devils and the winless Westville Tigers seemed like it may have been an easy win for the Devils.
But looks can be deceiving as the game was up for grabs until the final minute. Trailing 21-13 Westville drove down the field and were inside the Blue Devil 20-yard line.
Westville quarterback Kyle Brazas' last pass of the game was a Dustyn Ingram interception that helped Bismarck-Henning hold on for the 21-13 win.
For Bismarck coach Mark Dodd, he felt a sense of relief after the game over anything else.
"I'm completely relieved." Dodd said. "Westville did an awesome job on both sides of the ball. On offense with all the formations and variances, it's a nightmare (to coach against). Westville is a solid team and I wouldn't be surprised if they won out and made the playoffs."
Bismarck's success came from their ability to run the ball with multiple backs. Both senior Patrick Ganley and junior Donnie Powell rushed for over 100 yards.
"We have a great strong line and our running game works well," Powell said. "Patrick gets keyed a lot as the play maker. You just stick it out and eventually things open up."
Powell, who had his first career varsity start, ran for 104 yards and a touchdown while Ganley ran for 125 yards and one touchdown.
The game began with both teams starting out slow offensively and tough on defense.
"(Westville is) a really physical team and we knew that." Ganley said. "We laid hits, they laid hits and it was a hard fought game."
Neither team scored in the opening quarter and it wasn't until midway through the second that Brazas connected with Dalton Hilligoss on a 26-yard touchdown pass, giving Westville a 7-0 lead.
Later in the second quarter, the Blue Devils responded with a 32-yard run by Powell, Bismarck could not connect on the extra point though and trailed 7-6.
On Bismarck's final drive of the first half, the Blue Devils couldn't get in the end zone but they did take the lead on a 21-yard field goal by Dalton Duncan that finished the second quarter.
While the Blue Devils took awhile to score in the first half, they wasted little time in the second scoring. After a substantial drive, Bismarck extended their lead on a five-yard Ganley run. With a missed extra point, the Devils led 15-7.
Later in the third, LaDavion Severado and Dalton Hilligoss helped lead another drive by the Tigers and would close the gap with a five yard touchdown run by Hilligoss. The Tigers went for two and the tie but came up short.
In the fourth quarter, Bis-Henn extended their lead to 21-13 with a 12 -ard quarterback keeper by sophomore Dylan Allen. Westville put together a solid drive late but came up short and would fall to 0-4.
"We had opportunities and we didn't capitalize," Westville coach Guy Goodlove said. "When you have opportunities, you have to take advantage of them. When you don't do that, it's hard to expect to win. We kept doing the same things we've been doing all year, and we're getting better at it. I thought we played well enough to win and just made some crucial mistakes. "
Next week the Tigers host Milford.
Next week Bismarck heads to Jamaica High School to take on the Salt Fork Storm. Several Blue Devils hope momentum of Friday's win can carry over to next week.
(This win) helps a lot." Ganley said. "They are undefeated and we're undefeated, it's going to be a huge game."

Until I figure out how to perfect it, it is baskin robbins Heath Candy Bar shake. They stop carrying the bits to make my shake here in the wondeful world of Dothan Alabama, but I am smart and I can figure it out, besides it just means it will have the special "mochachino" take that it needs. If anyone is a fan of chocolate and toffee this is the shake for you.

bahar - a milkshake is a thick drink made from ice cream and milk blended together and sometimes other flavorings or additions (like candy bars, etc.) my favorite is strawberry, then mint-chip or vanilla - but if i'm someplace known for their special flavor, then of course I have to get the special flavor!

The Baylor Bears upset the No. 23 Oklahoma St. Cowboys, 41-34, on Saturday in Waco, Texas, in both teams' regular season and Big 12 finales. The play of the game, by a cramping Lache Seastrunk:
The Bears exploded out of the gates to a 24-3 lead and went into the half with a 31-17 lead. However, Baylor had to hold its breath late as the Cowboys cut the lead to seven with a late touchdown pass from Clint Chelf to David Gidden. But their onside kick attempt failed and the Bears were able to run out the clock.
The Bears got big games from quarterback Nick Florence, running back Seastrunk and wide receiver Tevin Reese. Florence finished with 295 yards on 23-for-39 passing and one touchdown. Seastrunk carried the ball 16 times for 179 yards and an inspiring 76-yard touchdown that saw him deal with an apparent leg injury for the final 20 yards of the carry, but he kept on going. Reese grabbed five balls for 108 yards and a touchdown.
Chelf finished with 336 yards on 30-for-51 passing and two touchdowns but he threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown in the first quarter by Eddie Lackey. Joseph Randle rushed for 130 yards on 23 carries and Josh Stewart grabbed 12 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown.
The win moves the Bears to 7-5 overall, 4-5 in the Big 12 and the Cowboys drop to 7-5, 5-4 in conference.
Box Score Hero: Quarterbacks always get the love, so this is going to Bears running back Lache Seastrunk, who finished with 179 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown. His 76-yard touchdown run was the icing on the cake of an inspired performance by the Bears.
Rankings Ramifications: The Cowboys should fall out of the rankings. Whether Baylor slides in with a 7-5 record is tough to call.
But Did They Cover?: Oklahoma State came in as 5-point favorites and were upset by the Bears.

Next On The Schedule: Both the Bears and Cowboys will wait to see what bowl game they play in as their regular seasons are now complete.

I have friends coming to town for their honeymoon, and I've been going on and on about the awesomeness of club level seats. Then I finally convince them to spring for it and lo and behold can't find any tickets that aren't like $100 each. So, comment here or email tkelter at gmail dot com if you can hook me up -- much appreciated!

A post from Twitter, where JBL mocks Shelton Benjamin by taking a picture of Rico Constantino, who is visiting Monday Night Raw today, and stating that Constantino is the best tag team partner that Charlie Haas has ever had in WWE.
August 18, 2014
There are those that believe that WWE will be having Ric Flair managing Dolph Ziggler after all. Their interaction on Monday Night Raw might have been the seeds planted by the creative department. Apparently, Ziggler is not in the dog house with management any more. There's even talks that he might be elevated up the card into a feud with Randy Orton soon.
August 21, 2014
"I've been really quiet since the passing of my husband and the father of my girls. Someone sent me what Mr Bollea had to say in video interview with Grantland yesterday and I would just like to ask him to stop. He is the only person in the WWE Universe who did not give a call or send a card. My girls asked why he didn't check on us like everyone else and I explained simply there isn't a camera at our mailbox or in the house when we receive our calls. I would ask respectfully Mr Bollea, for you to understand my girls hurt and just let some time pass before you say anything more." - wife of the Ultimate Warrior to Hulk Hogan
August 15, 2014
Since the company has been undergoing budget cuts, a lot of things are changing in WWE. In addition to several long time performers being given a release from their contract, Vince McMahon and company have also scaled things back on the WWE Network. Tough Enough has been pushed back, and there might not be a second season of Legends House. At one point in time, it was a certainty that the show would be receiving another season.
July 6, 2014
While she still has every intention of being a stay at home mother and wife, Michelle McCool decided to get out of the house on Monday. She made a visit to the WWE Performance Center. No word yet on why she was there this time around, but she has been known to drop in and help do a little training with the developmental divas. Her appearances always spark rumors of a return to WWE, so don't be surprised if the chatter increases over the next few days.
June 24, 2014
For a period of time there, Austin Aries was reportedly in the dog house with officials in TNA because of an incident with Christy Hemme that embarrassed the company. Rumors have it that the punishment is over and the situation has been completely resolved. Aries is said to be on good terms with management again, which could explain why he is being pushed again.
June 13, 2014
While there are still some questions whether or not this is a shoot or a story line, Tommy Dreamer is telling fans that he might be done with TNA as a backstage agent after an incident where he bashed Dixie Carter for removing Bully Ray at the last minute from his House of Hardcore show. His departure has not been confirmed yet, and many are still under the belief that this is an elaborate work.
June 11, 2014
As many of you already know by now, TNA pulled Bully Ray at the last minute from a House of Hardcore show, which led to Tommy Dreamer cutting a scathing promo on Dixie Carter. The supposed backstage heat has now spilled over to social media, as Carter has responded to Dreamer on Twitter. The two have gone back and forth.
June 10, 2014
Rumors are heavily floating around right now that TNA and House of Hardcore are working together. When Tommy Dreamer cut what seemed to be a shoot interview about Dixie Carter pulling Bully Ray from his show, some felt that it was out of character for Dreamer to do that, as he is viewed as one of the more respectful guys in the industry. Plus, Dreamer himself has a working relationship with TNA already, so it would not be hard to fathom that he would align his company with Carter.
June 8, 2014
Earlier this week, it was discovered that Bully Ray had been pulled from the House of Hardcore event that Tommy Dreamer was promoting. It has now been revealed that TNA pulled Bully Ray, so that he can go represent the company at a Spike TV television event. Since contract negotiations on a new television deal are ongoing, TNA wanted to maintain a good working relationship with Spike TV, and Bully Ray is one of their best representatives.
June 8, 2014
An interesting situation took place at the House of Hardcore show in New York tonight. Tommy Dreamer bashed Dixie Carter for pulling Bully Ray from his show at the last minute. He stated that the TNA president pulled Bully to appear on a promotional event for Impact Wrestling. Dreamer has a working relationship with Carter, so there are rumors that this was simply a story line to generate interest in both promotions.

The rocky relationship between Roddy Piper and Vince McMahon is apparently back on bad terms again. WWE officials are said to be quite upset with the former United States Heavyweight Champion for comments that he made about Legends House during promotional events. Piper, who is no stranger to backstage heat over the years, also made some derogatory comments towards Pat Patterson during a shoot interview recently.
May 30, 2014
On Saturday night, Jim Ross is doing his one man show at the House of Blues in Chicago. The longtime WWE commentator is hoping that a very famous resident of the city will make a surprise appearance at his event. Ross publicly stated that he does not know if CM Punk will be there, but he hopes that the former WWE champion checks out his act.
May 30, 2014
Since WWE really wants the show to do well, management has decided to give a little bit of a boost to Legends House by having Shawn Michaels doing a guest appearance. The company wants a bigger name on the series next season, but rumors going around is that WWE won't even bother trying to convince Michaels to do the show because he has far too many outside commitments as is.
May 25, 2014
A familiar face recently showed up at the Accountability Crib. Chris Jericho stopped by the house that is now famous for hosting Jake Roberts and Scott Hall as the duo cleaned up their lives, thanks in large part to the assistance of Diamond Dallas Page. Jericho was there to do a podcast interview with Roberts and DDP, which will be airing soon.
May 24, 2014
On June 6, Tommy Dreamer is doing another House of Hardcore wrestling event, and the ECW legend has stacked his card up tremendously. Confirmed for the event are Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, AJ Styles, Devon, Bully Ray, Abyss, Gangrel, Kassius Ohno, Adam Pearce, Kevin Steen, Homicide, Matt Striker, Petey Williams, Shane Helms and the Godfather.
May 20, 2014
Those of you that are hoping for the legendary WWE commentator to join the cast of Legends House next season are in for quite a disappointment, as Jim Ross has publicly stated that he would not do that show. He cites that he does not have six weeks of free time required to devote to filming an entire season. Ross has a variety of business ventures to tend to at the moment.
May 12, 2014
July is going to be a rather busy month for Roddy Piper, as the WWE legend has now been booked for at least a dozen shows throughout Europe. These events are essentially a big group discussion between Piper and his fans. The former United States Heavyweight Champion will be telling stories and answering questions. Sting, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels have done shows like these in Europe recently, and they were able to pack the house.
May 12, 2014
Since WWE is pretty pleased with the early numbers for Legends House, there is a push backstage to make it more of a focal point next season. Hence, management is now wanting a big name for the series. Hulk Hogan has been discussed as a possibility, but it looks like WWE officials are leaning more towards using Ric Flair in the centerpiece role.

With Jeff Jarrett traveling the world to find professional wrestling stars to join his new Global Force Wrestling, a name that has popped up in the rumor mills is Charlie Haas.

'Station leak won't be fixed for a week'
5:35pm Friday 3rd January 2014 in News By Hardeep Matharu, Chief Reporter
Water seeping through the roof of Epsom station will not be fixed until a cherry picker crane arrives next week.
Buckets were spotted on the floor of the station this afternoon as puddles of water built up around them.
A spokesman for Southern trains, which runs the station, said it is not a leak and has been caused by guttering becoming blocked by debris from the heavy rain and bad weather.
He said: "Just above the entrance to the station is a large glass canopy which slopes towards the station and behind that there is guttering.
"The guttering gets blocked, and has with leaves and detritus because of the bad weather.
"It has had to be cleared once before but it's a major operation and requires a cherry picker to be there and pick the stuff out."
The spokesman said there was no fixed date as to when the blockage would be cleared by the crane but that it would happen "sometime in the next week".
A £20m redevelopment of Epsom station was completed last year which revamped the station's ticket hall, facade, car park, waiting shelters, toilets and cycle storage.
In Epsom High Street, the heavy rainfall of the last week has also taken its toll. The Queen Elizabeth Foundation charity shop had a sign up saying it was "closed due to flooding".

But what do you expect when you try and patch up and old concrete building that had been falling into decline for the past cpl of decades.
I doubt they will ever make that old ticket hall 100% water tight.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – The 21st annual Abraham Lincoln Remembrance will be held today at the Los Angeles National Cemetery in Westwood, featuring the reciting of the Gettysburg Address by attorney Jack Girardi.
The program on the 204th anniversary of the birth of the 16th president will be held from noon-2 p.m. and include performances of songs that Lincoln admired, organizer Duke Russell said. Students from Lincoln and Birmingham high schools will participate in the program. Admission is free.
More information is available be contacting Russell at (323) 459-3998 or by email at email@example.com.
"It's a beautiful tribute," Russell said. "We encourage all to attend, particularly students and teachers, to be reminded how Lincoln used reading to rise out of poverty and accomplish great things."
People attending the event will also learn "what an elected (official) can and should do to serve the people," Russell told City News Service.
Russell, a retired television lighting technician, began the annual Lincoln remembrance in 1993 when, after learning there was no celebration planned in Los Angeles for Lincoln's birthday, he went to the Hollywood Bowl and delivered the Gettysburg Address in front of his daughter, Los Angeles Times columnist Jack Smith and an otherwise empty facility.
The remembrance has been held at the Los Angeles National Cemetery since 1994. Actors Charlton Heston, Hal Holbrook, Mickey Rooney and Michael York, comedian Steve Allen and author Ray Bradbury have been among those reciting the Gettysburg Address.

Kelly gave me the More from Magnolia Cookbook for Christmas. This weekend, I made the vanilla cake/vanilla buttercream cupcakes. They turned out excellent, but I remembered too late that I'm not a fan of vanilla... and these are really vanilly. I think I need to work on my swoosh-icing method to replicate the Magnolia Bakery look. Here are the Saucy versions:
All dressed up and ready to go! The sprinkles are from AJ's Grocery in Tucson. Loaded into my fancy cupcake caddy from Wilton (I used my 40% coupon at Michael's).
The dogs - both Duke and Wrigley were sick all week. Duke's neutering last week went well enough but his dewclaws got infected. Then his eyes got infected. Oh, wait.... did I already tell you this story? Then came the kennel cough - for both dogs. The cone was a necessity to prevent chewing off his crazy leg bandages. Did you know you can give dogs Triaminic cough strips? Dogs don't like grape, it turns out. Big four-paws-up for bubblegum and cherry, though!
Loopy and I conferred and together we rate this movie 4.5 cupcakes out of five, five out of five if you like steamy love scenes and you are allowed to watch them.

That's right. You said "Cal Sucks!" one too many times for this Golden Bear. So, Maryland Sucks! Oh yeah, it's on now. We'll beat your ass in Berkeley next year just like Tennessee. Please stop punching me.
What was the final score on that Stanford TCU game, anyways?
I don't know if y'all heard that it was hot and humid. Well, it was. Thankfully my day started inside the air-conditioned CAA tailgate on campus.
When I was in band we memorized the entire packet. For fun.
There were like 500 Cal fans and Sandy B. and Joe Kapp spoke and got everyone fired up to make some noise and root on our Bears to victory! Oh man, this is gonna be awesome.
This is gonna be so awesome! Go Bears!
Then we went outside.
I was stone cold sober but the first half was a blur. Our seats were on the lower level, I remember that. Some football happened too, but it didn't seem good. I got dizzy for a little while. I remembered somebody saying something about making some noise but I mostly felt like puking.
Their band had sashes and they had a platoon of girls with scarfs.
I stood in line for water and met 77's mom who was really super nice and friendly. She asked about getting the player's families info about the pre- and post-game spirit events on these trips and I said heck yeah, that would be pretty awesome to have some of y'all in attendance, I'll get someone to hook that up.
Do you know who I am? I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
Filled with cold water I regained my ch'i and actually felt kind of excited about the 2nd half.
We're gonna get out there on that field right there and we're gonna do some stuff that we know how to do, alright?
Can I get a big California Golden Bears "Wut Wut" on 3?
Then the 2nd half started! Aw, yeah, get back in this thing, Bears! Some highlights:
The Turtle did the worm.
I never learned how to do the turtle!
Cal scored some points.
The Terps scored some points.
The wind and cloud cover slightly picked up, saving us from certain death.
Penis goes where?
We scored more points.
They practiced their spelling.
We checked out the cheap seats.
The game ended.
Cal Band Great!
We saw some monuments the next day.
Happy now, Twist?

How important are soft drinks at your house? A unique study at Cornell University may convince you to cut back, especially if you have young children.
Researchers there studied kids in age from 6 to 12 focusing on what they ate and drank for a four to six week period. Turns out, it wasn't the food that sent a red flag, but they did find an obvious link between high sugar drinks and overweight kids.
There are about a dozen teaspoons of sugar in every can of regular soda. That's why the Center for Science in the Public Interest refers to soft drinks as liquid candy. The overall concern is that early and rapid weight gain in kids can lead to more serious diseases like Type II Diabetes.

If you enjoy walking, Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is crisscrossed with footpaths that take in some stunning coastal scenery and the pretty village of Silverdale is only a 20 minute walk from Holgates. Basing yourself in Silverdale opens up the whole of the Lake District too, with Newby Bridge, at the foot of Windermere, only a short hop away.
This complimentary weekend includes hardstanding pitch for two nights, hook-ups for 230v, water, and TV points, a Friday evening Meet & Greet party, and supper on the Saturday evening.
Your stay will also include access to the Silverdale site's swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, and steam room. However, there are only 30 pitches available which will be given on a first come, first served basis.

There's nothing better than boredom to start a healthy habit: stretching
Stretching prevents injuries, lubricates the joints and increases oxygen supply to the muscles. Most of my yoga students report that even a few minutes of stretching a day help them to manage their aching backs and shoulders.
- Laying down on your back, extend your arms alongside your ears, interlace your fingers and stretch both your arms and your legs. Now release the finger grip and stretch your right arm and your left leg. Reverse it, stretching the left arm and the right leg. Do your stretches slowly and carefully and remember that being on the beach is a joy. Savor every motion.
- Hug your knees into the chest. Give your knees a nice squeeze, making sure that your whole spine, from your shoulders to your lowers back is on the towel. Make sure your head and neck are on the towel as well.
- Exhale and lower your knees to the left, looking over your right shoulder and extending your right arm straight forward to the right. Try to press your right shoulder into the towel. Stay with this stretch for about five slow deep breaths and then change sides, extending your left arm to the left and dropping your knees to the right. This exercise promotes longevity, by making the spine supple and young. It it also an excellent stretch for scoliosis.
- Hug your knees back into the chest. Straighten your right leg, putting it back on the towel. Flex your right foot, therefore releasing the right hamstring. Keep pressing your left knee into the chest and make sure that your head and spine are on the towel. Hold for about five breaths and repeat on the other side. This stretch is wonderful for the hamstring and the groin muscles. If you do the exercise regularly, you'll notice that your walk is becoming lighter and more graceful, which is especially helpful if you are wearing a bikini.
- Come to sit up either cross-legged Indian-style, or simply sit down on your heels, kneeling, with knees and shins touching. Lift your arms up above your head. Try so that your forearms are behind the ears. On the exhalation, interlace your fingers and open your palms up to the sky. Gaze in front of you, at the ocean. Work on straightening your arms and breathe slowly and deeply. Hold for about five breaths. This stretch is excellent for anyone with tight shoulders, especially for those who enjoy lifting weights. This stretch will prevent hunched shoulders, if practiced regularly.
- Now come to stand up with feet hip width apart and parallel to each other. Fold forward, releasing the tension from the upper and the middle back. Try to keep your legs straight and relax your torso. Grab a hold of the opposite elbows and swing your torso from side to side gently. Let your head be heavy – it adds to the stretch. This is an excellent exercise for those that spend all year in an office and could really use a supple back for that sexy stroll down the beach.
- On the inhalation, slowly come to stand up. Head is the last thing to come up. Take your arms behind your torso and bending your elbows, grab a hold of the right elbow with the left wrist, while grabbing a hold of the left elbow with the right wrist. Make sure your back is straight. Walk by the ocean, still holding your elbows behind your back – it is likely to perfect your walk, making your back strong and supple. You can walk this way as long as you wish.
