Been doing a lot of research and a little action on bolting / re-bolting lately. Determined that stainless Rawl/Powers bolts were the way to go. I couldn't believe how hard these things were to find in stainless. Seems everybody is going carbon steel. Living in San Diego, you wouldn't think that this would be a problem, but on a recent hanger replacement trip I saw a nice fat 1/2" carbon steel Rawl bolt with 6 years on it was starting to rust superficially in its hole. Looked fine on top though. Be wary. I'd give it a 30? year lifespan.
A matter of semantics, but important none the less.. Rawls come zinc-plated standard, not raw carbon steel; carbon steel is literally grey/black and no one in their right mind would install those outside. The zinc plating on the bolt gives the illusion its an an all-weather unit. The threads on a standard Rawl are rusty within a year, the corrosion then grows over time. Stainless Rawls are available, but usually on a special order basis; and cost quite a bit more. And they aren't neccessarily fail-safe either, read up on what Sam Lightner is doing in Thailand. Sport-bolts first started appearing in the mid-late 80's, that means there are lots of bolts nearing 20-25 years old. Sooner or later this is going to become an issue. Lets hope that the degradation is visually obvious before a string of bolt failures begins....
Good point about the plating. The carbon steel bolts are Zinc plated. Powers is calling them "carbon steel" in their catalog. Don't be fooled by the shiny plating as seen above. It hides problems below the surface of the rock. I paid 5.60 ea for 3/8 X 2.25" stainless Powers bolts and you can get them cheaper in bulk (box of 50) from a fastener or construction supply company. There are other cheaper stainless options as well. If you are unsure about what you are buying, bring a magnet, it will not stick to stainless.
I found a new place to get a good deal on Powers Power Bolts (AKA Rawl 5 Piece) in Stainless. www.mcmaster.com. Look up concrete anchors. Their sleeve bolts are Powers, they have a great price and you can buy as few or as many as you want. Mcmaster has the fastest shipping of any company I have ever ordered something from. Also try www.fastenmsc.com
mschlocker: of all the people you know, are any involved at a foreman level or above in construction? Simply ask them if you can use their account for a "cash sale" (you pay at the counter) at a fasteners and anchors supplier. Half price of retail, no waiting for shipment. So, if large quantities of bolts is of interest to you; methinks you have yourself some little project crag, eh?

Ok I admit it. I am a fan of Chad Ochocinco. I like his antics, he is a great wide receiver, and of course he is a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. Something that surprisingly doesn't include much of his antics are the videos that he is posting via RockSoftware of his training workouts. He's just out doing his thing, adding little comments, and urging people to use what they see to make themselves more athletic.
It lets you see that he is out training and not just doing reality shows and neglecting football as so many seem to think. He'll be there in top form contrary to what some others are saying, implying that he isn't working on his football skills. Anyway, just thought I would share this. I know I have enjoyed watching them.

I think this would make a great gift. We all know that planning a wedding takes time, patience and organization! Even for those brides that are normally organized, it can get a little hectic. I like this idea.

LET us be honest about it; most restaurants are not good value for money.
I think I can put more bums on restaurant seats but let us first take stock. If we are going to fix a problem we need to identify it.
Please don't take me for an amateur who doesn't know the trade.
I have been in business, including the service and retail trades, for 32-years; twenty of them advising businesses how to run them better.
There was a time when a restaurant's decor, oozing opulence, offered a pleasing alternative to domestic austerity. Today our homes are as comfortable and often better furnished and decorated than many restaurants. We are not always impressed with what we find.
The restaurant's waiting on service often falls short of a partner's good natured bonhomie. At home the atmosphere is lighter, you're not expected to leave a gratuity, you don't even have to risk driving home.
Home cooking still has a lot to be said for it. I have no idea why; maybe the influence of television and printed media. Many people are as good if not better at serving up a wide variety of tasty meals as are restaurant chefs; many of whom are unqualified.
These days we pop into a store and pick up easily prepared convenience meals. Many such meals are identical to those offered by many restaurants. I suspect some are one and the same thing but don't have price tags like €19.95 plus exorbitant charges for drinks.
I have just relished a bowl of soup. In appearance and taste it was identical to that served by many restaurants. I would expect a price tag of €4.95 or more per serving. I got two generous servings from the 75c packet.
We are now spoiled for choice. International cuisine is reasonably priced and offers an excellent choice for those whose tastes are adventurous.
Pretty depressing reading if you're in the catering trade but perhaps there is a solution. There is one thing the Costas are not short of; top class entertainers. Many can be hired for less than the takings from a four-seat table. Failing to offer an entertainer really is spoiling a ship for a ha'porth of tar.
There has to be a partnership between venue owners and artistes. Good entertainers, appropriate to venue, are as important as the chef and waiting on staff. Time after time I see ordinary pubs pack them in for one reason only; the entertainer.
Artistes for their part need to remember the need to generate enough extra business to pay for their fees. We all have to sell ourselves; encourage diners to bring their friends; tell them what is coming up. Get the fliers out, send press releases; take customers emails so you can remind them what delights are in store for them.
Finally restaurant clients; you talk about the food, the decor; give the entertainers a plug too. If you like them then recommend them. Let's get the life back into the Costas.

1933 Ford Roadster

|United States
Listed under categories:
1930-49 Pre-War
With that definition fresh in our minds let's take a look at a gorgeous example of a 1933 Ford Roadster that falls perfectly into that street rod category. To answer your first question, the body is a Fiberglass Gibbons body that is covered in a gorgeous shade of Ferrari Yellow and unlike some that try to pass as roadsters, correctly features no side glass. But this roadster is just more than an eye candy thanks to a massive power plant under the hood. But before we get too far, let's take a closer look at the body.
The vibrant yellow body is a beautiful blend of simplicity and class. It starts at the front where you'll find a tiny front bumper bar that has been painted in yellow and sits just below the start of the massive front fenders. The bright yellow is accented throughout the ride by hand painted pinstripping that adds just that small touch of flare. Above the small bumper you will find a small spider painted on the center of the nose just below the start of the signature look of the tall aluminum grille. Flanking the grille are two big LED lights that feature some pinstripping as well. The hood is a three-piece Rootlieb steel hood that sits just below a Duvall windshield. The roadster is equipped with a Carson style lift-off black top that ensures with either the top on or off the roadster looks incredible. Make your way down the sides of the car and past the suicide doors with shaved door handles to the back of the car and you'll find more pinstripping that sits at the base of the trunk lid. A chrome Ford V8 logo sits beside a painted spider web and spider. Finishing off the look are two rear tail lights that also have the green pinstripping highlighting them.
Pull the lever from under the dash and you'll reveal what is hidden under the hood. Powering the roadster is a 454ci Chevy big block V8. At the top of the engine you'll find a chrome air filter wearing 454 badging. The filter sits on a 4-barrel carburetor that shoves the air fuel mixture into the massive big block. The mixture travels through an aluminum intake and cylinder heads before providing combustion in the cylinders. From there, spent gasses travel out the dual exhausts that exit out just under the rear bumper to create an incredible sound. The engine is tucked away nicely within the engine bay and is dressed up enough to capture the eye of any stingy car show judge.
What separates the average street rod from the immaculate is how well they travel down the road. Glance under this roadster and you'll see how this '33 Ford achieves its incredible ride. At the front you'll see that the build team opted for a Mustang II independent front stainless suspension. As you make your way to the back you'll see that bolted to the Chevy big block is a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission that sends power to a Ford 9-inch rear axle with 3.50 gears. Stopping power comes courtesy of 4-wheel disc brakes. In front of those brakes are 17" and 20" Billet Specialties dagger wheels that have been wrapped in Yokohama rubber.
Because this roadster is fully equipped to travel down the road it's extremely important that the interior be a place of comfort and convenience, and this '33 roadster doesn't disappoint. Pop open the suicide doors and you'll reveal a tan leather interior that is a great place to ride to and from car shows. In front of the two-way adjustable leather bench seat is an Ididit steering column with a color matched three-spoke steering wheel that sits in front of gorgeous, white VDO gauges. On the floor you will find like new carpet that is slightly darker than the rest of the tan interior. In the center of the floor is the vintage Lokar shifter boot that controls the 4-speed automatic. Behind the bench seat is a spacious trunk that wears the same dark carpet as the rest of the interior. Your favorite music comes courtesy of a 2-channel Kicker iPod/iPhone player and dual under dash speakers.
This '33 Ford roadster didn't just impress us; in 2009 it received the appropriately named 'Best Bitchin' award at the Columbus, Ohio Goodguys event. That same year it was also featured in the Goodguys gazette. A copy of this magazine is included in the sale of the '33 Ford.
The beauty of owning a street rod is you actually get the chance to enjoy the ride. This 1933 roadster impressed us from the moment that we laid eyes on it. Not only does it have an incredible look, but it backs it up with a potent drivetrain, and a sleek interior. This true roadster won't last long under our showroom lights. Don't miss your chance to add an award winning Street rod to your collection.

DAVELAND > PHOTOGRAPHY > Coronado Island / Hotel del Coronado
BACKSTORY: From The Coronado Visitor Center website:
Across the soaring bridge from downtown San Diego is Coronado, a relaxed Southern California beach town, boasting one of the world's best beaches, endless sunshine, and a bayside overlooking San Diego's skyline.
Coronado's flat sand beach has family-friendly surf and sunsets framed by the silhouette of Point Loma. Coronado hosts visitors with world-class resorts, an 18-hole golf course bordering the bay, spas, art galleries and yacht marinas.
Coronado is home to the Hotel del Coronado, the Victorian beach-front masterpiece that is a national treasure.
Coronado's mile-long main street is a pedestrian's paradise, and its tree-lined neighborhoods are an explorer's delight. Named one of the Dozen Distinctive Destinations and given the Great American MainStreet Award, Coronado's setting invites distinctive boutiques, parades and picnics in the park.

Today's Rootability index helps the uninvested fan decide who to pull for in a contest where they have no clear interest. The game: The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl (8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN) an underrated warmup for the Holiday Bowl and a proper bowl because it is named after a plant or plant product like a proper bowl game should be. ("Independence" and "Fiesta" Bowls, take note.)
ROOTABILITY FACTORS: You don't know much about Louisiana Tech, but there are a few charming factors. They are entertaining thanks to their Air Raid attack.
They should be even more entertaining by this definition thanks to their starting running back Lennon Creer missing the game due to academic issues. This should also win the hearts of those of you who failed to do homework and pay bills late. (If you were honest, 90% of you would have to pull for Louisiana Tech. Keep reading, you lying liars.)
Louisiana Tech also wins the heart of those of you who weep at Pixar films, since they have what is unquestionably the saddest mascot origin story ever. But it's not all about sorrow for the Bulldogs. They won seven in a row after a 1-4 start, including one over SEC power Ole Miss.* They got their coach, Sonny Dykes, a fat contract extension when Houston came flirting with him to replace the departed Kevin Sumlin. Ruston, the Bulldogs' home, is mentioned in both the HBO series True Blood and in Jack Kerouac's On The Road. They beat Alabama in the Mike Dubose era, which fostered the Franchione era, then Shula, and then Nick Saban. You owe Louisiana Tech a national championship, Alabama, and with 47 claimed national titles you can certainly spare one.
*Ole Miss is technically a power in that they exist, and Oxford has electricity.
That's the hard sell on Louisiana Tech, and with some reason: they should, on paper at least, get annihilated in this game by TCU. The Horned Frogs are themselves very likable, and require little resume-padding. After a loss to Baylor and eventual Heisman winner Robert Griffin III, TCU stumbled against SMU before rebounding to win their last seven. Did one of those include a defeat of Boise State at home, snapping the Broncos' home win streak and sending them out of the BCS and into the Las Vegas Bowl? Why yes it was. See? If you can't crash the BCS, you can at least ruin someone else's chances to do it, and that's almost as satisfying. (Almost.)
TCU features its own weird reptilian mascot that can shoot blood from its eyes--three feet from its eyes if sufficiently threatened. They have a giant portable horn no one asked for, but that TCU got when one of its alums said, "What my team needs is a portable foghorn with a horned frog ace painted on it."
Their coach plays guitar when not drawing up nightmarish 4-2-5 blitzes, their starting quarterback most definitely did not hang out in a public park in Superman underoos until his mother asked me to take the photos down, and Tank Carder, TCU's standout linebacker, may be entirely made of armbands at this point. There's a lot to like on the field and off, and thus the purpose of spending too much time selling you on Louisiana Tech. TCU takes little salesmanship, and is its own best advertisement.

Pro-coal terminal group's statement appears to sidestep reality
Posted by Ralph Schwartz

The Oregon Department of State Lands has denied the removal-fill permit needed by Ambre Energy to move forward with the construction of the coal dock at the Port of Morrow! This win is a testament to the power and dedication of all of you! For nearly four years, communities across the region have been telling Northwest decision-makers that coal exports are wrong for the future of our states, our region, the country, and the world. Today, our persistent opposition has been answered by an Oregon state agency decision - a decision that has global implications.

The Army Corps of Engineers must use its expertise to weigh the regional impacts of proposed coal-export facilities. The concerns are universal.Lance Dickie / Times editorial columnistTimes editorial columnistOriginally published Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 4:27 PM
The growing revelation about plans to sell hundreds of millions of tons of coal to Asia is that so many people are put off by the idea. Here and elsewhere.
The human consequences range from health and safety issues close to home to global warming and climate change. These topics resonate across continents and oceans.
The prospect of expanding existing ports and building new marine facilities to receive endless streams of dust-spewing rail cars full of coal, with all their related impacts on air quality, health and traffic, dismays people from Oregon to Australia.
Yes, those folks down under, who are seen as relentless accommodators of China's coal demand, are upset about the local effects of moving Aussie coal through their ports.
Those are the same concerns shared by Spokane and Washougal about rail traffic for shipping Powder River Basin coal from Wyoming and Montana.

This guest post is by 17 leaders from across the state who oppose the expansion of coal exports.
The fight against dramatically expanding coal exports scored a victory this month when three proposed coal port sites were abandoned by Houston-based Kinder Morgan Co. However, two proposed coal export sites remain in Washington State: Gateway Pacific Terminal at Cherry Point and Millennium Bulk Terminals in Longview. That is why the newly launched Leadership Alliance Against Coal will continue to work to oppose coal trains and exports to protect our communities.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (BP) -- Church planting was not in Josh Howeth's plans. While his seminary peers were eager to jump into church planting, Howeth looked to a future serving and revitalizing existing churches. Only a couple of years into serving as worship and family pastor at Grant Avenue Baptist Church in Corvallis, Ore., those plans changed.
"Our leadership at Grant Avenue desired to reach the students on the Oregon State campus," Howeth said during a North American Mission Board commissioning service in conjunction with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina's 182nd annual meeting in November.
Church planting was "an area of ministry that just hadn't clicked yet" when some of Grant Avenue's leaders approached him with the vision to plant a church on the campus.
Initially resistant to the idea, Howeth and his wife Elizabeth committed to praying about the opportunity and, within the year, their hearts were changed.
"What started as the burden of our church and our convention for these college students slowly became the burden of our hearts too," Howeth said.
Along with a core group of about 30 others, the Howeths planted The Branch on the campus of Oregon State University this year. Only a couple of months into weekly Sunday meetings, they are working to build and disciple a community of believers amid the 26,000 students on campus.
"These kids live in a very secular culture in a very unchurched state," Howeth said. "It's our vision to be accessible as a church not just to the students but to the surrounding community."
As Howeth and his team at The Branch work diligently to begin putting down Gospel roots on the Oregon State campus, he values now more than ever the support of the North American Mission Board and the Southern Baptist Convention as a whole.
"I'm very proud to be a NAMB missionary," Howeth said. "To feel the support from our convention and to know they really are behind what we're doing here in Oregon means everything to us. It excites me to keep moving forward and see more churches planted to reach more people for Christ."
Following the commissioning of 20 missionary units at the Greensboro Coliseum, NAMB President Kevin Ezell preached the convention sermon from Luke 10:2. Ezell also outlined NAMB's desire to revitalize churches and increase the number of missionaries and church plants.
"Missionaries, when I see you and I see the sacrifices you make, the tremendous sacrifice, I think of Acts chapter 20 and Paul's farewell to the church at Ephesus," Ezell said. "Paul said, 'I consider my life worth nothing to me but that I might complete the task the Lord Jesus has given to me.' I want you to always remember that verse.
"It is not about my conveniences or my preferences. It is about being obedient," Ezell said. "And remember the power of one. When the response is slow and you feel all alone ... remember the power of one person in obedience to our Lord."
Milton Hollifield, executive director of the North Carolina convention, challenged the missionaries to pray.
"Even though we are involved in doing the things of God, we should never say we are too busy to pray," Hollifield said. "Southern Baptist have no hope to see our goals become a reality unless we experience a return to holiness so that God can empower us to accomplish His will."
Woman's Missionary Union President Debbie Akerman led a prayer for the missionaries during North Carolina Baptists' Nov. 12-13 sessions in Greensboro.
For church planter Charlie Dunn, one of the NAMB missionaries commissioned, God's call came in a unique way.
"I was up at 3 in the morning, just praying and reading through Scripture," Dunn said. "And it seemed like out of nowhere I heard God say, 'I want you to consider church planting.'"
Having never considered this path of ministry before, Dunn was surprised. Rather than jumping into planting immediately, he and his wife Abby opted to spend some time in prayer and study to discern God's plan for the next step in their lives.
"We prayed, we read everything we could on church planting, and we just asked God to lead us," Dunn said. "It took almost a year before we could finally express and understand that God was truly leading us into church planting."
The couple set out to discover where to put down the roots of their future church plant, visiting everywhere from Chicago to Cleveland and even London. It was a trip to Boston in early 2010 and a meeting with an established church planter that helped seal the deal.
"We spent a long weekend in Boston in January of 2010 and then made two more trips back to the city throughout the next year. Slowly we began to feel like Boston was the next step," Dunn said.
With the support of the North American Mission Board, Dunn looks forward to the future of church planting not just for his own work in Boston but in the nation as a whole.
"Being supported by the NAMB community really ties us into a larger family of planters and missionaries like us who want to see more churches started and more souls saved. This network of support means the world to us."

ESCAMBIA COUNTY -- A man who admitted to exposing himself to female students in the Pensacola State College library, has been sentenced.
Alexander Tillman will serve one year in jail, followed by two years probation.
Back in October of 2013, several female students at PSC complained that Tillman exposed himself to them, in secluded areas of the library.
Campus police alerted students and amped up security at the library.
Police arrested Tillman a few weeks later, after they found fingerprints and DNA evidence on a book he allegedly performed a lewd act on.
As part of his sentence, Tillman must also complete a sexual offender program, pay court fines and is not allowed on any campus of Pensacola State College.

For the heck of it, I was discussing the Lighting with a friend who's a big Sabres/Lightning fan. He's convinced that if the Bolts had competent goaltending, that they could be a serious cup contender, but are going to be a in serious trouble without one.
My offer to him was Vokoun for Brett Connolly, Tampa's first round pick this past year, current Lightning starter Dan Ellis and a future 1st or second round pick. To me, that benefits Tampa greatly this season and gives the Cats a serviceable goalie for the remainder of the year to split time with Clemmer, cheapens the payroll and gets us another high-end offensive draft prospect - someone who was a wild-card for the Panthers to take over Gudbrandson. It's a fair deal, even with a division rival (and for whatever reason the Cats have a history of trading with the Lightning).
Open the floor for that one...or other suggestions.

**Front page! Thanks guys! My mind is blown! And after all the times I complained that only adult sprite flashes make FP. Insert foot in mouth.**
Okay, here is Episode 8! I did a little better this time with around 3 months of production time versus the 7 for the last episode. I did the audio a bit differently this time to cut back on file size and I clean up the code a bit more each episode. The movie controls in the top-right corner now contain a menu button and quality controls. The quality controls will also be available during the battle segments in case the flash starts to lag.
This episode contains the second of my gym leader contest winners, "Amira" the dark-type gym leader by Lea Bastian. Special thanks to Rina-chan and Potnyx for some superb voice acting. And also EASTBEAST for some extra artwork and Budge007 for testing.
As always, I like getting reviews so please leave one. If you liked it, what did you like? And if you didn't like it, what didn't you like?

EPIC!!!! cant wait for the next!
This is the best Pokemon sprite animation I've ever seen! Fantastic voice acting, superb plot and character development, and great interaction between characters, and Pokemon battles!
Most TV shows don't have the kind of quality i'm seeing here! Also, i'm quite enjoying the funny yet entirely realistic outplay that Gardevoir is coming onto TJ. It's good to see that you aren't downplaying poke-human relationships.
I find this story an absolute BLAST to watch and interact with, and cannot WAIT to see the next installation in this series ^.^
Keep up the good work man!

LAS VEGAS -- Kyle Canyon Road is open to limited traffic. Mountain residents will be allowed to use the road, but all other traffic will be diverted, Nevada Department of Transportation officials said.
According to NDOT, almost 1,000 feet of road at Mile Marker 18 was swept away in the gushing water.
Crews filled the huge gaps with gravel and dirt, but rain and live power lines are making it a daunting task.
It could be Thursday before the road is open to all traffic. Nevada Highway Patrol closed the road Sunday evening after part of it washed away during the flooding.
Currently, the alternate route for motorists, who do not live on the mountain, is to use Lee Canyon Road (SR 156) and cross over at Deer Creek Road to get to Kyle Canyon Road (SR 157).

Dramatic volume, with long, lush, and thick lashes. Buildable coverage with several coats giving you a very dramatic look. Brush can give some clumping, nothing major, just very sexy lashes.

i am in LOVE with this mascara!! it gives you great length as well as volume! i would recommend this to anyone, its a must have!
I love this mascara and would recommend to everyone. It gives a long length look and coats the lashes without clumping. Has a really dark shade and appears to lengthen your lashes without needed to apply many coats. I haven't tried it with the Smashbox lash primer as I had just purchased Estée Lauder lash primer but gave an even better look. Will definitely try the Smashbox primer when my other one is empty though!
This is a great volumizing and curling mascara. One of the best that I have ever tried. And I've tried a lot ! The only thing is the price. It is quite expensive, $22.00 at SDM but it's worth it if you can afford it on a regular basis. It doesn't clump but thickens your lashes nicely. I have bought it a few times, but since I'm on a tight budget right now, I'm going to try something a little less expensive. Too bad, but oh well.... I would buy it again if I could!
Absolutely LOVE this mascara. First off, I've tried several different mascaras from high end (Dior show/ Gvinchy) to drugstore HG brands (Loreal volume express), and this mascara has blown every other mascara out the water.
Yes, the wand is HUGE however it always delivers HUGE lashes and volume, within the first sweep, and you can keep building upon it to thicken and lengthen.
The formula does not flake, however is extremely moist therefore be careful of any smudges, but guess what? It lasts all day long.
My only regret is that this mascara does not come in waterproof, other then that the price is more than reasonable ($19.50), and the product truly delivers.
More reviews by omahabombshell
Got this as a sample at Sephora, used it for 3 days, and am back to my Jordana Best Lash. The brush is gigantic and hard to maneuver if you have those tiny lashes at the corners of your eyes and the formula just did not wow me. I love a false lash look though, so may be ok for those who like a more natural look. I don't know why you would spend this much for just ok though, there are plenty of those at the drugstore for waaay less.
I love this brush! I wish more mascaras came with a large brush like this one.
I found that this mascara made my lashes look lush, but natural (no one is going to mistake my lashes for falsies), and I really liked that. It actually reminds me a bit of the Buxom mascara, in terms of what it does to my lashes.
The only reason why I wouldn't re-purchase is because I love trying new mascaras. Maybe someday I'll buy this one again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm surprised this is rated so low - it is HANDS DOWN the best mascara I have ever used. And like any human female I have USED THEM ALL.
I got this in the Smashbox Step by Step Ombré' Eye Set from Nordstrom (highly recommended, btw) and I probably wouldn't have thought to try it otherwise. Now I can't see myself using anything else, ever.
Firstly, I simply cannot make this clump, no matter what I do. Even if I slather it on, it doesn't clump. This is a new phenomenon for me, and I like it. If I touch my eyelashes during the day, they still feel like eyelashes. They're soft, separated and NOT crunchy/greasy.
Secondly, the brush head is huge, and at first I thought it would make application tricky, but it doesn't. It grabs on to the lashes and applies just the right amount of product. I usually do two coats, but I don't really even need the second. It wears well, lasts all day, and I've had no problems with flaking or smudging.
The only con for me is the price. It's $28.95 (Australian dollars) in Aus, which is about US$27, and shipping from Kit Cosmetics or Mecca Cosmetica is $10. I can't really afford to pay $38.95 for new mascara every three months, so I may just buy 4 mascaras from the US once a year. Or something. Because I can't live without this.

No. Just no.
I tried it on once and returned it the next day.
Strike 1: The brush was so incredibly huge! It's almost funny how oversized it is! I knew based on reviews that it would be a big brush, but I'd rather clean a bottle with the brush than use it to apply mascara.
Strike 2: I saw absolutely no lengthening nor volume nor curl holding! For something called "full exposure", I expect some BAM! and no, all that really happened was it made my lashes dark black, which is no big deal, since my lashes are already black.
Strike 3: I wore this mascara around 10 hours, which would be how long I would need a mascara to work for me on a normal day. At one point, I yawned deeply and the mascara smudged! Big black smudge on my under eye. At that point, I decided I was returning it ASAP.
Is there anything good about this mascara? Yeah, the packaging makes this mascara look really cool and tempting to buy. It's sleek black, with a red X. Don't be fooled. This mascara is terrible. I've tried drug store brands for less than half the price that worked better. This is the happiest return I've ever made.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
While it works fine, and is a nice smooth mascara, I didn't find that it did anything extra special for me. I find that my drug store mascaras build up better and add more volume. The brush for this is entirely too big and generally unwieldy for me, and I always end up getting mascara on my lid. Additionally, while it doesn't advertise itself as waterproof, I was disappointed by just how easily water made this mascara immediately come off. Even just a drop of rain in your eye and a dab with your finger will bring a bright black splotch on your finger with just that little contact. I can't imagine how bad it would be if I actually got my entire eye wet.
It's not a BAD mascara, but for a high-end brand, I didn't find that it did anything more special than a pharmacy brand would.

Neither side will be particularly happy to have not won but there were far worse results in the relegation scheme than a 1-1 draw between Southampton and Sunderland.
The Black Cats are not four points clear of Wigan while Soton are five points clear. Both sides will now turn their attention to Tuesday's Wigan match against Arsenal where a loss or draw for the Lactics would make the final day of the season completely pointless, at least at the bottom of the table.
So let's recap the first half. Southampton were the better team, they looked fluid in the midfield but once they finally arrived in the final third they looked like the guy in Clerks checking out all the eggs. If you haven't see than movie, just imagine someone looking confused and having no real plan.
As for Sunderland they didn't look like a team that's battling against potential relegation. In fact their entire half was encapsulated by a moment in the 39th minute when John O'Shea flicked on a header across the face of goal and not a single teammate made a run forward at the ball, they all just watched it roll by.
Things were much the same in the second half but a moment of brilliance from Phil Bardsley finally gave the match a much needed lead and put the Black Cats in front in the 68th minute. After a tipped ball off defender Jos Hooiveld got the Soton defense a little out of alignment, Sunderland quickly moved the ball out to Bardsley on the right edge of the box and he unleashed a wonderful shot that eluded Artur Boruc.
Soton battled back in the 76th minute when James Ward-Prowse's cross in from the left found Jason Puncheon right in front of the goal. The midfielder's header was saved brilliantly by Simon Mignolet but he couldn't control the ball and Puncheon was able to kick the ball into the net from the ground to pull Soton back even at 1-1.
Soton had what looked like a a winner in the 87th minute when Rickie Lambert got loose in the box and sent a shot towards the far post that was saved by Mignolet with his fingertips.

MICHAEL MATES (From Daily Echo)
When news happens, text SDE and your photos or videos to 80360. Or contact us by email and phone.
2:00pm Friday 9th November 2012 in Election News
Address: Winchester
Age: 78
Political Party: Conservative
A former minister and MP for East Hampshire, Michael Mates is undoubtedly the most high profile candidate in the race to become the county's first Police and Crime Commissioner.
But his notoriety has not always served him well – with speculation circulating that he does not actually live in Hampshire and media reports about his previous links to disgraced Polly Peck tycoon Asil Nadir, who was jailed for fraud this summer.
The 78-year-old has named his top priorities as reducing crime, ensuring the public is "excellently served" by its police force and taking good care of the victims of crime.
He says he stands out from the other five candidates because of his experience.
He said: "I spent years as a Member of Parliament and I was Minister of State in Northern Ireland.
"In that job I oversaw the Royal Ulster Constabulary – I set their budget, gave them their money to do their job and oversaw the police constable – and this is at the height of the troubles, when bombs and bullets were flying."
He says that as part of this work, he has already been security vetted to the highest level.
He added: "I have spent my life having my private life, public life and financial life scrutinised to do the jobs I'm doing.
"That is something I have that none of the other candidates have."
Mr Mates has a home in West Sussex, near the border with Hampshire, and rents a flat in Winchester.
When questioned about his address, Mr Mates said he has consulted the Electoral Registration Officer and the Returning Officer, who will oversee the elections, and both have said he is eligible to stand.
He added: "I have rented a flat in Winchester since March of this year, three months before I was selected.
"I have been using it over the summer and of course if I'm elected it will be my base in the week."
One of his first jobs, if elected, would be to appoint a new chief constable, after Alex Marshall announced his resignation.
Mr Mates said he would be looking for someone that is "forward looking" and is "burning with enthusiasm for change", in terms of keeping the force up to date with the latest technology.

The New West
Project New America was founded as Project New West in 2007, based on the idea that profound changes were occurring in America's fastest growing region, and research was needed to understand the new voters who were changing the face of the West. Since that time, the West has emerged as the nation's key battleground, and PNA has played an important role in important progressive victories throughout the region. Along the way, we've amassed the nation's most extensive body of Western research.
From the outset, PNA has had its finger on the pulse of the trends, issues, and demographics that define the New West. From our ongoing statewide landscape research in states like Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, and New Mexico, to our comprehensive looks into key western demographics, we've been ahead of the curve in identifying the priorities and concerns of this region.
Among the comprehensive projects we've conducted was an in-depth survey of active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) voters in Utah, which provided a nuanced understanding of the values that drive attitudes in that rapidly growing community.
We've also conducted multiple projects that help shed light on the values and attitudes of the Hispanic community in states throughout the West. Our research has been instrumental in identifying how attitudes vary in Hispanic communities throughout the West, and among different sub-demographics. Our Western Hispanic research has been implemented in some of the West's most successful voter registration efforts and persuasion campaigns.
Our core belief that independent voters are the key to the West informs much of our research. Since 2007, we've made independents a focus of every piece of Western research, conducting numerous oversamples, focus groups and online dial-tests, among these voters.
Years of research into the attitudes of independent voters culminated in a 2011 project that identifies the most effective frames for mainstream Western politicians to talk about key issues. The project, which included 1,000 on-line dial tests with independents and soft partisans, as well as 3,000 telephone interviews, focuses on issues and messages that are most effective among western independents.
Our expertise creates actionable results that help our clients succeed from winning elections to increasing civic engagement to achieving policy successes at the legislature and ballot box.
Building off of our past knowledge base of thousands of bilingual interviews, we designed several messages around the economy, education and immigration that were used by organizers on the ground to boost Hispanic turnout to record levels. Senator Harry Reid has since credited Hispanic voters for his narrow victory in the 2010 Nevada Senate race.
Since 2007, PNA has developed strategic message frames for progressives to connect with swing voters from the economy to the budget to education and conservation. Our clients have used this information to inform broad strategy and day-to-day tactics.
PNA continues to conduct regular research in our core Western states around legislative issues, elections, ballot initiatives, and voter values. Additionally, we're regularly commissioned to manage research projects on areas ranging from legislative races to specific issue areas and demographics.

As listeners might be aware, I am currently a healthy American who is struggling to ensure continuity of coverage as I transition voluntarily from full-time employment with benefits to self-employment with an individual plan. The absurdity of the complications involved in staying with the same provider, albeit transitioning from a group plan to an individual plan, could not be greater.
A number of related items finally created the perfect storm for me this weekend, and I took action.
Congressman Cooper,
I have watched with admiration as you have persisted in encouraging your colleagues and your fellow Americans to give serious consideration to the Healthy Americans Act during this debate about healthcare reform. I gave it serious consideration, and I believe it is a strong bill.
Recently, though, three things have happened in my life that have caused me to write to you to ask you to support America's Affordable Health Choices Act, HR 3200.
1. I recently elected to resign a full-time job that provided me with health insurance. I have a pre-existing medical condition, and I am now having difficulty insuring continuity of coverage. I must either wait to discover the whims of underwriters, likely past the point of expiration of my current coverage, or I must exercise my HIPAA rights, causing a dramatic increase in my premiums.
2. I saw Pres. Clinton and Vice Pres. Gore speak at the Jackson Day dinner here in Tennessee. Their remarks spoke powerfully to the need for healthcare reform now.
3. I read Sen. Kennedy's statement about the HELP Committee's passage of the Affordable Health Choices Act after his recent death, and I am convinced that he found it to be an acceptable final compromise for "the cause of his life": universal healthcare for Americans.
I trust you to do all you can to strengthen this bill for American patients and would-be patients who are in dire need of health security. I know because I'm one of them.
Best regards and thank you for your service,
Freddie O'Connell

This interview took place in Mid July, 2001
via the U.S. Postal Service while Jay was incarcerated in Hawaii.
What was skating like in Dogtown before the 1975 Del Mar
For me, skateboarding started in 1965 so by the time the Dogtown era came around I'd already been skatin' for 10 years. When I started it was clay wheels and mostly home made decks. We were just trying to copy surfing. Everything about skateboarding had to do with surfing. It was all about fun and a way to surf when the waves were shitty.
Why was that contest so important?
The Del Mar contest was a turning point for skateboarding the same way short surfboards changed surfing. We introduced a different way to ride a skateboard.
Did anything change in Dogtown as a result of the newfound notoriety as a result of the contest and being featured in SkateBoarder Magazine?
Of course, people started getting paid and egos were starting to grow. All of a sudden it was Dogtown vs. the world.
How did the Zephyr team come together? Did most of you go to the same
None of us went to school together, but we all surfed the same area and grew up in the same neighborhood. Well I came from Venice and at that time Santa Monica and Venice were worlds apart but after I moved to Ocean Park I got on the Zephyr team.
Who were your influences, in skating, surfing, and life in general?
During my early surfing years Wayne Lynch, Jeff Hackman and Barry Kanaiaupuni had a major influence on my style. Later on it was Torger Johnson and most of the Hobie team guys. As far as life in general it was the surfers that I grew up around.
Where were you born?
I was born in L.A. in 1961 and moved to Venice Beach when I was one year old. I was conceived in a house on the beach right at the end of Ocean Park Blvd.
Was it just money or egos that broke up the Zephyr team?
Definitely a combo of the two, but most of us just wanted to skate and have fun. We just wanted good equipment to ride and if you could make a little bit of money while you were doing it, then why not.
When and why did you stop skating professionally?
Well that's kinda hard to say because I never really made any money off of skating anyway. But I've almost never had to pay for a skate or pay for the clothes I've worn over the years. Even now not much has changed. So I'd like to thank all the companies that have given me free shit over the years.
What was the most defining moment in your professional or contest part of
your skating career?
For me it was fuck contests, fuck being a pro, but to be around for so long and see all the people come and go and still actually be able to go out and do it still. I say that's the most rewarding part of it for me. I do like seeing the new pro guys who do make money now rippin' in contests. It's about time skaters started getting paid what they deserve.
Any regrets in your life as a skater?
Maybe I could have been a little bit more serious about it (NAH)
When did you leave for Hawaii? And why?
I came to Hawaii when I was 12 years old. Then me and my mom moved back permanantely when I was in 8th grade. I traveled back and forth until I was about 18 then I stayed in L.A. until 1990 and I've been here ever since. Why? Because of surfing.
What do you think of how skating has progressed from the 70's till now?
Uphill all the way but freestyle seems to have made a comeback, they just call it street skating now, but everything to do with SK8N is going off right now.
Do you still read skateboard magazines?
Thrasher, Big Brother, and Transworld but my favorite mag now is Juice. All the other mags are selling out and starting to get to political just like lame ass SkateBoarder Mag did back then.
Any skaters you particularly like or liked to watch over the last 20 years?
Hosoi, Alva, Alba, Peters, Cab, Gonz, Hackett….that's some of the old ones, fuck it, I'll stop. List all the guys at the Old School Skate Jam. I like all skaters, skateboarding has a lot of different styles and types of things guys like to ride. I pretty much like and respect it all. I'd like to see slalom and Downhilling make a comeback
What was it like having your own pool (original Dogbowl) and what were the sessions like?
I went to the party at Dino's house and saw the pool before we drained it the next day. It was kinda like a dream skatepark cuz there weren't any rules. Only the boys got to ride.
Did any outsiders try to skate the pool? If so, were they shut down?
I'm sure some might have snuck a few sessions in but not when the boys were there. But whoever was brought there had a good time hanging with the DT boys.
Did having Marina Skatepark so close by change things in D.T.?
Well it took guys off the streets and helped save us some gas money. Everybody started getting a bit more professional I guess.
When did you last skate a ramp or a pool?
A few days before I got locked up. Don't even think I've ever quit. Maybe I took a few years here and there but I've never quit and I never will.
"Dogtown and Z-Boys"…..Have you seen it yet?
No, haven't seen it yet.
What did you think of the SPIN MAGAZINE "The Lords of Dogtown" article?
Kinda liked it when I saw it but I really can't remember what it said.
Was the article accurate?
Can't remember, but I remember not laughing too hard. What comments do you have about the following people?
Tony Alva:
100% skateboarder 4 life. The first pool ruler and one of the most stylish skaters of all time.
Stacy Peralta:
Did more for the sport than anybody else, great skater and a really nice guy. Stacy was on the outside looking in.
Shogo Kubo:
One of my early best friends, a little bit shy but not in a pool. A true stylist all the way.
Wentzle Ruml IV:
Another early best friend. Stylish bank rider of the surf style. Was there in the early days.
Paul Constantineau (P.C.):
Another surf styler. Good in a pool during the early years.
Bob Biniak:
Power, SNAP BACK, speed, control. Older guy who I looked up to had the crib and the babes.
Wes Humpston:
Surf style bank rider… Early pool rider…meanest artist and the first body boarder before boogie boards.
Peggy Oki:
Early surf style bank rider…the only girl on the Zephyr team. (Hi Peggy)
Arthur Lake:
Had a pool in his back yard. Was a pretty good pool rider in the early days.
"Baby" Paul Cullen:
Like my little brother. Surf style all the way but kinda burnt out early… hung with the Chicanos instead.
Dennis "Polar Bear" Agnew:
2nd generation Z-Boy. The new Biniak. Power…control…gnarly…amazing surfer. Venice boy all the way.
Jimmy Plumer:
Florida Z-Boy and a damn freak.
Paul Hoffman:
Not quite a Z-Boy but a damn good freestyler.
Larry Bertleman:
Hero, surf God, Hawaiian, skater and later a friend.
Torger Johnson:
Skate God, styler, Hobie guy. 1st generation SK8R.
Nathan Pratt:
Surfer, part time skater. Better at the business side.
Alan Sarlo:
100% surfer. I've known and surfed with Sarlo longer than I've known anyone else on this list. Venice boy even though he tried to claim Malibu for a while. Keep it up homeboy and I'll see you out at Sunset and Back Door in 2003.
Chris Cahill:
Kneeboarder, part time skater. (Where are you bro?)
Jeff Ho:
Sensay or our Master. Fuck Al Merrick, we got Jeff Ho.
Skip Engblom:
Z-Boy coach. 100% surfer skater for life (Yeah, Skipper)
Craig Stecyk:
Thrasher owes him everything. SkateBoarder Magazine would have gone outta business without him. He created it all. Dogtown was his invention. We were just kids skatin', he's the master story teller and photo guy.
Glen E. Friedman:
Early Stecyk protégé. Been around and seen it all. Thanks for keeping it real brother SK8R photo guy Bel Air boy.
Marty Grimes:
One of my personal all time favorites…talk about stylish ripper. Marty was magic to watch early in the pools.
Christian Hosoi:
My all time favorite. Style, power, control, everything a skateboarder wanted to be. 100% skater 4 life.
Tom Inouye:
Almost a Z-Boy and he didn't even try to be one. Early pool ripper and surf skater on banks. Early all time great master pool rider also.
Any other guys from back in the day you think deserve some attention or a few words?
Ty Page, Bruce Logan, Bobby Piercy, Kevin Reed, I could go on and on. How about Steve Picolo or Jose Galan…2 low key Dogtown rippers.
What was the best skatepark you ever skated?
I kinda liked Cherry Hill back in the day.
What was your favorite backyard pool?
Dogbowl cuz everything was good and the Fruit Bowl was similar.
What was it like getting your name and photos in the skate mags?
Sometimes it was good and sometimes it was bad. People expected you to live up to what they saw in the magazines. And after a while it got a little bit outta control. I was a little bit embarrassed about the whole deal.
Did Dogtowners ALWAYS get respect at skate spots?
If you give respect you get respect. Some of the guys made it hard on some of us. I mean some of the DT boys made it hard on the rest of us.
Did you ever feel exploited by your sponsors? Or was it a pretty fair deal for all?
Most of the people involved in skateboarding in the 70's were in it just for the money. I guess I got exploited but I had a lot of fun so I guess I won in the long run.
Did you save any of the money you made as a pro skater?
Guess again, this must be a joke question…right?
Have you kept in touch with any of the original Dogtown crew or skaters in
Some I have, some disappeared but this Dogtown Movie brought a few back together again.
What were the best and worst things about being a pro skater in the 70's?
The best things were being a young kid getting to travel around the world doing something I liked doing. And meeting a lot of different people. The worst was people getting to ego'd out and being too professional to the point of being stupid.
Why did you leave skateboarding?
Leave where? I didn't leave anywhere. Skateboarding's popularity might have left for a while but I never did.
Do you hope to keep in touch with your old skate friends now that you're
"re-united" with some of them so to speak as a result of the documentary and
the other Dogtown film being made?
A little bit.
Did you have a "mentor" or someone you looked up to during your pro skating
Sure, all my friends and surfer guys I guess.
Did you ever have a chance to meet and/or skate with Larry Bertleman? If so, where
and what was it like?
A few times here and there but I don't think he really skated that much.
Do you still get recognized as "Jay Adams" the infamous D.T. Z-boy?
Sometimes. One time I was drinking in a bar in Santa Cruz and this kid and I were talking about skateboarding. Then he told me his favorite skaters were old school guys like Tony Alva and Jay Adams. I thought that was kinda cute cuz he didn't know who I was.
How do people react when they realize who you are?
Mostly good I guess.
What was your first reaction when you heard about the Dogtown documentary
being made?
"Yeah Stacy" I hope it turns out all right.
Were you stoked to do your interview for it?
Yeah, but I was going through some pretty heavy times when I did that interview and if the film turns out like I'm the guy who through it all away to drugs then I guess they got it wrong. Stacy used the information that I provided and during that time I was at the end of some pretty crazy times. I've heard it portrays me different than how it actually should. I mean out of all the Z-Boys, only Alva and I still skate mostly every day. Sarlo still surfs almost as much as he but I've been surfing and skating NON-STOP the whole time.
Did a lot of memories come back to you pretty easily?
Some do some don't. Sometimes people tell me "Hey do you remember doing this or that" and I say "Not even." But I have a whole lot of good memories left.
How was it hanging out at the Zephyr shop on Main Street? Any good stories?
It was cool cuz all the boys used to hang out in front of the store on Main Street. So we'd be yelling at anybody who drove by or harass any girls who happened to wander up.
Any good stories about showing up at a pool outside of Dogtown and dealing
with the locals there?
Too many. I don't have enough ink in this pen.
Was the Down South (San Diego) VS. Dogtown a reality or just magazine hype?
To me it was a big joke. But I'm sure some of the other DT boys and Southers took it a bit more seriously than I did. But it was a reality for a while; I just refused to play a part.
Were you a P.O.P. surf local? Or were you too young to surf the cove?
I was a P.O.P. local from birth. The ORIGINAL MASCOT. My dad rented surfboards under the Northside of the pier. All the guards at the park used to let me in for free. FUCK Disneyland, I had P.O.P., surf and all. I surfed the cove with Mickey Dora before leashes were invented.
What was your favorite skateboard contest? And why?
Maybe Del Mar because now that I look back it had a lot behind it. Before skating became professional, my mom and step dad used to drive us Z-Boys up and down the coast every weekend to different contests.
Did you ever skate the Arizona pipes?
I skated them and our car ended up breaking down so we had to hitch hike back to Santa Monica. I remember this guy picked us up in an RV and gave us a ride all the way to my house.
Did you ever skate the Mt. Baldy pipe?
No, never went there because Upland was open by then.
What was it like skating against your old zephyr teammates in contests after
the guys were skating for other teams?
Never did skate too many contests in the later years.
Did z-boys keep in touch during those times and still skate together?
All the boys still mostly lived in Santa Monica or Venice so we still hung out together and skated together as the Dogtowners.
What was your first tattoo and how old were you?
My first tat was a small Thrasher that I got with Jesse Martinez. I was about 19 or so.
What are your favorite photos of yourself skateboarding?
Maybe the one from Skateboard World at the Dogbowl.
Around what age did your skateboarding abilities peak?
Does a surfer get better with age?
Most guys turn a little softer and start riding a little bit longer board but here in Hawaii you don't really notice it much cuz the waves are so gnarly.
Have your surfing abilities peaked?
I refuse to believe so.
Do you think you could still skate at a level that was comparable to your
70's level?
Yeah, because we weren't doing anything that gnarly. So compared to nowadays we skated like beginners.
What did you think of the "hand-standers" in skating in the 70's?
I think they skated upside down.
Were there a lot of drugs and/or drinking Prevalent when you were a pro
There's a big difference between the kids of my generation and the kids nowadays. If you weren't doing drugs when I was young you were a weirdo. Kid's nowadays know a lot more about how drugs will fuck you up in the long run and don't seem to be as involved as we were.
Did you ever consider starting your own skate company as did Alva, Muir, and
I might have thought about it before I went to sleep a few times.
What's the biggest wave you ever took off on?
Let's just say I've been scared before. That's kind of like asking what's the biggest pool you've ever dropped into. Or the fattest chick you've ever fucked. I'll just say I was scared. (kinda)
Any tattoos that you regret getting?
Yeah, the one that says "FUCK YOU FOR ASKING."
Tell us about the pool-riding book that Dave Hackett is doing with you and
Tom Inouye.
It's called "DEATH BOX", hopefully it will be out pretty soon. It's about early pool skaters.
What was it like growing up in your house?
Front door, back door, but I mostly climbed through my bedroom window after my parents went to sleep.
Take us back to the first time you heard the term "DOGTOWN". What did it
mean to you then? And what does it mean to you now?
I thought it was called "SKATETOWN" first but Dogtown must have sounded better. It means more to me now than it did when I was a kid.
Do you feel "Dogtown" was a place and time that can be duplicated in a
Well Dogtown during the 70's has an interesting skateboard story to tell. Hopefully they can keep it real and not portray it in a way that it wasn't. If they keep it real, I won't have to be embarrassed about it. But most movies are pretty stupid. Thank God they didn't try to make it during the 80's cuz I wouldn't want to be any part of it if they had.
Tell us about any part of your present day life you'd like to share with all
of us.
Well currently I'm locked up for making some bad decisions. I'm glad I had to come to prison cuz I wasn't living my life correctly. I didn't give a shit about life or anything else for that matter. Coming here has helped me realize that there is a lot more to life than getting loaded everyday. I'm lucky cuz God has given me another chance to live properly again. I should be back on the streets sometime later this year. I'm looking forward to being a father to my son again and just being able to enjoy life again. No matter how far gone you've let drugs take you it's never too late to stop and change your life around for the better. I know cuz I'm a living example. Surfing and skateboarding are just a small part of our lives. Drugs take you down so watch out if they get their claws into you. Stay strong. Surf and Sk8 4 ever.

BBC2′s online presence makes a geek very happy (again)
New clips of That Mitchell And Webb Look are online at that BBC2 site…
Episode 3 is great. It includes Chip & Pin AND The Green Clarinet plus the return of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar!
That site also has an interview involving 10 questions for David and Rob…
1. What's your favourite website?
Mitchell: Wikipedia. I know you can't rely on it but it's an amazing resource powered by people's need to inform.
Webb: Amazon.co.uk. If I managed to read as many books as I buy, then I'd be wiser than most owls.
2. What's your TV heaven and TV hell?
Mitchell: I love detective programmes – Inspector Morse, Foyle's War, CSI, that sort of thing (although I draw the line at Rosemary and Thyme and that ginger guy in CSI Miami is an abomination, so I stick to Vegas). They're the perfect escapism: a cosy, or cheesily gritty, environment with a little bit of murdery doubt that all gets resolves by the end of the programme. My TV Hell is reality TV – I wish it would stop. It's a horrible addictive drug without any initial high.
Webb: TV heaven: The West Wing. I know it's a liberal fantasy but oh… imagine if America was really run by people like that. And the acting is exceptional. TV hell: Any morning 'discussion' show involving Trisha or the even more insufferable Jeremy Kyle. Why start the day watching scared, angry people becoming even more scared and angry?
3. How much do you pay for a hair cut?
Mitchell: I can't really remember. I think it's between £10 and £15. I hate having my hair cut since I started wearing contacts instead of glasses: now I can see what they're doing and it scares me.
Webb: About £18. It's all falling out now so haircuts are less about vanity than about disaster management.
4. It's my round, what are you having to drink?
Mitchell: A pint of bitter. I used to drink lager but swapped in the last year. I imagine I'll be a pipe smoker before I'm 40.
Webb: Any French lager or red wine.
5. Who's the funniest person on the planet?
Mitchell: John Cleese probably. Not done his best work of late perhaps but he has made me scream with laughter more than anyone else alive.
Webb: John Cleese or Robin Williams. Don't make me choose.
6. What's your fancy dress costume of choice?
Mitchell: I like those Bernie Clifton things where it looks like you're riding an Ostrich.
Webb: Blenheim Palace. I just think it would suit me.
7. What would your Mastermind specialist subject be?
Mitchell: Nothing. I'm an expert on nothing. I just quite like a lot of stuff.
Webb: The novels and short stories of Ian McEwan, 1975- present day.
8. What's the biggest mistake you¹ve ever made?
Mitchell: I expect it's either still to come, or I've yet to realise the disastrous nature of something I've already done. But I definitely think I should have told more women I fancied them when I was a student. Only when it was true, that is.
Webb: Confetti. I had a miserable time making it and I think the finished film is an underwhelming mess. I look forward to its DVD release as ardently as I look forward to appendicitis.
9. What's the best advice you've ever been given?
Mitchell: When I was 10, I was too scared to audition for the school play and my Mum basically made me. It was more coercion than advice but I'm so grateful. If I hadn't got used to performing before puberty hit, I don't think I'd have ever got up on stage. Since then performing in public is the only thing I've ever been brave about.
Webb: No single line, but when I was 15 I asked my grandad if I could buy his portable TV which he didn't need any more. He said, "Make me an offer, mate," and I suggested £50. He thought about it for a second and then said, "You've made me a fair offer Rob, you can have it for nothing." I love the justice and innocence of that. Liars and bullies are doing it the hard way – reasonable people should be, and often are, rewarded.
10. Who would you most like to be trapped in a lift with?
Mitchell: A lift engineer.
Webb: I'm not being cute; I think I can honestly say – my girlfriend. Failing that, I suppose I could make do with Stephen Fry.

I Think Again of Those Ancient Chinese Poets
by Sexton, Tom
This all-new collection by former Alaska poet laureate
smoothly blends his life in Maine, his years in Alaska,

will enchant lovers of verse. These tightly rhythmic,
compact eight-line poems demonstrate a rare deftness
withŚand an even more uncommon ear forŚlanguage,

nor an accomplishment in itself, but a compositional
tool and a spur to creativity.

Seawater intrusion into the aquifer of
Eleftherae-N. Peramos, Kavala, Greece
Author(s): C. Karamperidou, E. Karamperidou & K. L. Katsifarakis
Keywords: coastal aquifers, seawater intrusion, boundary elements, moving
1 Introduction:
Sustainable development of coastal aquifers is a very challenging water
management issue.Excessive or poorly planned pumping results in seawater
intrusion, which, in turn, renders groundwater unusable.The problem is already
acute in many areas of the world.Population growth and the trend of
concentrating human activities in coastal areas increase the local fresh water
demand, for urban and agricultural use.Meanwhile, water resources may tend to
reduce at the regional scale, due to unfavorable climatic change (reduction or
change of precipitation pattern).Thus, a problem which first appeared in small
islands and low precipitation coasts affects already large coastal areas.
Management of coastal aquifers has, consequently, attracted the interest of
many scientists.Many book chapters (e.g.Oude Essink and Boekelman [1]) and

After a hard fought loss at the Shark Tank, the Ottawa Senators are right back at it with a game against the Anaheim Ducks.
The Sens are playing their fifth straight on the road tonight at the Honda Centre in Anaheim. After tonight, they'll head to Phoenix where they play the final game on this road trip against the Coyotes.
Despite a pretty lopsided shot total, I actually thought the Senators did a pretty good job of hanging around against the Sharks. Robin Lehner was extremely sharp in the Ottawa goal and if not for a couple unfortunate penalties, the Sens could have come away with a couple points in San Jose. Plenty of positives to build on heading into tonight's contest.
Obviously this is a big game for Sens forward Bobby Ryan as he plays his first game against the team he spent six years with prior to the deal to Ottawa. Sens fans will also get a glimpse of former Senator Jakob Silfverberg. Silfverberg is off to a great start in Anaheim with four goals in the team's first four games. You know both Ryan and Silfverberg will want to put on a show in this one.
No morning skate today so we won't know the official line up until close to game time. Here is how the Sens are expected to line up;
Smith-Da Costa-Neil
Craig Anderson is expected to get the start in the Ottawa goal. Puck drop in this one is scheduled for just after 8:00 PM.
