NEW PLYMOUTH - Alta Mesa Idaho plans to drill five more wells this summer as it moves toward making the state a natural gas producer.
"Now we're in the exploration phase," Hal Chappelle, president and CEO of Alta Mesa, said Thursday. "We want to be in the development business."
The Houston-based company showed Gov. Butch Otter and other state officials the route of its 11-mile pipeline and its nearly completed dehydration plant near the Williams Pipeline and Idaho Power Co.'s Langley Gulch power plant. The new facility will remove water from the gas before sending it to customers.
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Land Management hosted a public meeting Thursday at the Payette County Courthouse to explain its plans to offer leases on 5,355 acres within and adjacent to Alta Mesa's Willow-Hamilton Natural Gas Field six miles east of Payette.
The federal mineral leases, some of which underlie private land, are in the same unit where Alta Mesa already has producing wells.
"The lease sale would allow for the orderly development of the federal oil and gas resource and the payment of royalties to the United States," said BLM Assistant District Field Manager Matt McCoy.
The federal and state treasuries will share in the revenues from the unit. But oil and gas are not going to be a windfall for the state the way they been in North Dakota, Wyoming or even Utah.
A University of Idaho report in 2013 predicted annual Idaho gas revenues of $206 million. That would generate more than $5 million for state coffers from a 2.5 percent severance tax and $5.7 million in royalties for the state's schools and other land trust beneficiaries.
By comparison, North Dakota's 1 million barrels of oil a day contributes $2.9 billion in taxes and royalty revenues. Utah brings in about $300 million and Wyoming about $350 million.
In Payette County, Alta Mesa's pipeline will run 20 feet below the Payette River and under several canals. The company has a right-of-way that gives workers 24-hour access to the pipeline's seven valves along its 11 miles, said Ronda Louderman, Alta Mesa regulatory specialist.
"We will always be monitoring this pipeline continuously," Louderman said.
At its peak, 100 people will work on pipeline construction this summer and fall. The company's drilling employs about 20 workers.
Once completed, the dehydration plant will be able to process 20 million cubic feet of gas per day, enough to heat about 100,000 homes. With Alta Mesa's wells producing up to 4 million cubic feet of gas a day, the company hopes to use the plant's full capacity when it opens this fall, said Dale Hayes, Alta Mesa vice president for engineering.

John Girdler hears the language of pottery, and he also creates it.
The Maryville College senior is showcasing his work in the DENSO Art Gallery at the Clayton Center for the Arts during the month of April and will host a reception as part of the Maryville Last Friday Art Walk on April 29.
Girdler likes the connection he feels to functional ware such as pots, vessels, cups and other serving dishes, and it is this relationship between people and pottery that he explores in his exhibit and for his senior thesis. The physical use of the pottery makes it different from paintings or other fine artwork, he said.
"It's a much more intimate experience," Girdler said. "It's very easy for me to relate pots to people."
Sometimes he pulls a finished piece out of the kiln, and he feels a kinship between the work and someone he knows because some aspect fits that person's character. When this happens, he gives it as a gift.
Girdler explained how his current show demonstrates the connectivity between pots and people.
"The personification pieces are playing with the idea of how pots relate to people. I do have an interest in both the visual and sort of the audio exploration of negative space and the tension that can exist there," he said. "In looking at the pots as people and how you read both the pots themselves and the negative space between the pots, it creates a potential for narrative and for exploration of that idea and how they relate to each other in the space."
Girdler said he spent almost as much time setting the exhibit up and playing with the space between the pots as he did creating the pieces. This process helps him to understand the narrative of the pots.
"The series that's set up in there is an invitation for people to share their thoughts on that and to respond to that." The artist has a notebook available so visitors can write down their thoughts.
As part of his senior thesis, Girdler, a native of Somerset, Ky., arranged to have dinners with different families using his pottery for the dinnerware and serving dishes. He was interested in exploring family traditions around meal time and wrote letters of invitation to potential participants.
Once a family agreed to host a meal, they sent a menu to him along with a list of guests. Girdler created serving dishes for each individual meal to complement the food and then left those as a gift. His dinnerware was used for all of the meals.
A photographer friend of his, Doug Berryhill, documented the dinners as Girdler and the guests interacted. A computer slideshow is set up as part of the exhibit at Clayton Center.
The whole experience taught him how to safely pack and store pots as well as allowed him to see how families interact. Members of one large family he feasted with kept sneaking bites of the food before dinner was served, he said with a smile.
To help him prepare for his thesis, he did research by reading different books on traditional dining experiences.
In addition to the vessels, Girdler has put together an elaborate display of cups hung with hemp rope that extends from the ceiling to almost the floor. The artist said he is interested in getting people involved in the display in a subtle way. The cups will be used for the reception so visitors will take one for refreshments. The cups have a knob on the bottom, which serves the dual purpose of providing a way to attach it and of keeping the connection with the person who will have to hold it so that the liquid doesn't spill.
The hemp rope provides a rough and coarse texture and as the cups are removed, a gentle wind chime effect will be achieved as cups left hanging bump others. This way the display provides both an auditory and tactile experience and also changes throughout the evening, he added. The reception will be held from 6-8:30 p.m.
It is easy to understand how Girdler developed his love of interaction between pottery and people. When he was a boy, he went camping with his parents where he discovered a love of throwing clay.
A potter had an electric throwing wheel set up in the middle of the campground, which fascinated the young Girdler. This budding interest was rekindled while taking a fine arts class at Maryville College that led him to change his major in his junior year.
The Art Walk provides the community with an opportunity to see and purchase the work of area artists at galleries and local businesses. Other exhibits, held in the downtown area, include watercolor artist Maggie Harnois at Vienna Coffee House, oil painter James Owens at Little Nifties, and jewelry designer Dawn Graham, of D. Shell Designs, at The Village Tinker. New Hope Children's Advocacy Center will offer games, activities and art projects for children and families in the grassy area by Tomato Head restaurant in honor of National Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. The Art walk runs from 5-9 p.m.
Blount Today will have a full list of Art Walk participants, photos from the March Art Walk in next week's newspaper.

Taxpayer stimulus waster A123 Systems has not only declared financial bankruptcy – its executives also seem to be driving toward moral bankruptcy as well.
CEO David Vieau and his lieutenants, after receiving well over $279 million in Recovery Act funds and at least $135 million from Michigan taxpayers, have run the company into the ground. Yet they have asked a bankruptcy court judge for his blessing to receive up to $4.2 million in executive and retention bonuses to see through the company's takeover, likely by Johnson Controls.
Last week NLPC reported that an international law firm, whose employees provided significant campaign support for President Obama, was paid $1.8 million from the stimulus to review and conduct "due diligence" for the Department of Energy's suspended loan to Fisker Automotive, an electric vehicle start-up company. Fisker sent 65 workers to the unemployment lines.
Debevoise and Plimpton, which employs top Obama bundler and fundraiser David Rivkin, wasn't the only largely Democratic law firm to reap such rewards. At least four other major law practices also analyzed DOE's loan programs and its grantees – three of which gave large sums of money to the campaigns of President Obama and fellow Democrats.
The taxpayer-funded ($279 million) battery supplier that gave big raises and parachutes to its executives shortly after it cut "Green jobs" at its Michigan factories, reported last week it would suffer big losses again for 2011.
A123 Systems, whose fortunes were entwined with those of electric vehicle startup manufacturer Fisker Automotive, also announced it would look to China and India in order to survive.
After luxury electric automaker Fisker announced 65 layoffs and a work stoppage from the refurbishment of a former General Motors plant in Delaware earlier this week, NLPC wondered whether its battery supplier and business partner A123 Systems would be harmed also.
Now Wall Street analysts are wondering the same thing, and the beleaguered lenders at the Department of Energy must be deeply concerned about what they will do next. As Forbes reported yesterday, the close ties between the two speculative companies could produce "two Solyndras for the price of one."
The Department of Energy announced on Friday it would not complete a low-interest, $730 million loan to Severstal North America, after it had given the company a conditional commitment in July under its Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program.
DOE gave no reason for its disapproval of the loan, but it had come under scrutiny about its judgment after the collapse of solar company Solyndra, which was lent $535 million in taxpayer dollars.
It appears that four current members of the United States House of Representatives received loans via the VIP program of Countrywide Financial Corporation. Once again the motives of the former giant mortgage institution have been brought into question. Where they trying to peddle influence with these loans?
When Boeing Co. two years ago announced plans to open a plant in South Carolina to assemble many of its 787 Dreamliner commercial jets, the decision triggered an outcry by the International Association of Machinists. The IAM's unofficial partner, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), filed a complaint against the company this April to block its opening of the facility, located in a Right to Work state. Last Friday, December 9, the board dropped its action. With the plant up and running for a half year, Boeing won a "victory" -- so says CNN. Or did it?
Under extremely unusual circumstances, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently granted a company called LightSquared the right to use wireless spectrum to build out a national 4G wireless network. LightSquared will get the spectrum for a song, while its competitors have to spend billions.
Although the technical implications of the FCC action are complicated, how it came about is not. LightSquared is owned by the Harbinger Capital hedge fund, headed by billionaire investor Phil Falcone, in photo. Falcone visited the White House and made large donations to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Today we asked the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to investigate actions by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that benefitted Harbinger Capital Partners after its founder Phil Falcone (at right) made large contributions to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
As we describe in the letter to the Committee's ranking members, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-NJ):
The radical nationwide nonprofit network, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - better known as ACORN - has wound down operations in an effort at damage control. A new government report suggests more spin will be needed. On September 21 the Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), released an evaluation (see pdf) of certain expenditures of ACORN Housing Corporation (AHC), one of the largest affiliates under the ACORN umbrella. The review concluded that the Chicago-based nonprofit had misspent a sizable portion of the roughly $3.25 million it received from HUD during fiscal years 2008-09. While that $3.25 million figure in turn was only a little over a tenth of the more than $30 million in grants to AHC during that two-year period, the audit suggests that the entity, like its parent organization, has had a serious ethical blind spot. And HUD wants some of the money back.

Canadian-born Sydney Leroux taunted fans after scoring the American's third goal in their victory over Canada on Sunday by kissing the badge on her jersey. Predictably, the Internet was not amused.
Sydney Leroux, Canadian born player for USA taunted her own country when she scored. She embarrassed her family, USA, & Canada. No class.—

Wow yeah that one belongs in 'Merica. Canadians have more class than that. Fortunately no one cares…@sydneyleroux #womenssoccer—

@sydneyleroux how do you "sush" the crowd of the Country you were born in? #borninsurrey #forgotyourroots—
Davin Smash (@dsmash47) June 03, 2013
One Twitter user put it all in perspective. "Yes, the Sydney Leroux thing is annoying," Mike Fish wrote. "But let's not forget the scores of athletes born elsewhere that compete for Canada that we embrace."
Leroux scored seconds before the final minute when she ran in on a breakaway, placing the ball past McLeod. She put her finger to her lips and pointed to the symbol on her jersey before running to celebrate with her teammates.
She scored on us, and an individual can do what they like. I probably wouldn't have done the same, but we move on
"I scored in the Olympics and it felt good but this one is up there, especially because of everything's that happened and because of all the boos," Leroux said. "But I think it's so good for women's soccer. I don't care if I am not the fan favorite, it's so great to have a sold-out crowd like that."
But Leroux did not sound very happy with the crowd in a tweet sent out Monday morning:
When you chant racial slurs, taunt me and talk about my family don't be mad when I shush you and show pride in what I represent. #america—
Sydney Leroux (@sydneyleroux) June 03, 2013
Leroux is used to the social media insults — since playing for the U.S. in the Olympics last year, especially since the two teams have such a heated rivalry, these sort of remarks have unfortunately become common.
@sydneyleroux is there any chance you could forfeit your Canadian citizenship? You belong in America with the rest of the worlds trash.—
Christian Cap (@ChristianCap15) June 03, 2013
Sportsnet analyst Craig Forrest was taken aback by the gesture during the broadcast, saying that her celebration was "classless." If that point did not get across, he took it one step further by adding "That's way too American for me …You can have her."
The referee was not impressed either — Leroux was awarded a yellow card for her celebration. Even Canadian captain Christine Sinclair had something to say.
"Maybe not the classiest of moves," Sinclair said about the gesture. "She scored on us, and an individual can do what they like. I probably wouldn't have done the same, but we move on."
Alex Morgan scored twice to lift the world No. 1 ranked team to a 3-0 victory over Canada's women's soccer team Sunday. It was the first meeting between the North American rivals since Canada's heartbreaking 4-3 loss to the U.S. in the Olympic semi-finals, and the Canadians' first game back home since they won bronze in London.
Before the Olympics, Leroux told The Associated Press from age 6 she wanted to wear the U.S. uniform. Nothing against Canada – she just wanted to be on the best team in the world. She was playing for Canada's Under-19 national team when she was only 14. But she was eligible to switch countries because her father is Ray Chadwick, an American who pitched a few games for the California Angels in 1986.
Leroux, who was engaged to Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie, went on to become a goal-scoring machine at UCLA. She made her debut with the U.S. team in 2011. Since playing with the U.S. team, Canadian fans often chant "Juuuu-das" whenever she touched the ball.
"I have to take it like almost a compliment," Leroux said in 2012 about the reaction from Canadian fans. "You have to. Obviously, they're mad about something. You can say that I'm a traitor and you can say that I grew up and I was developed through the Canadian system, but when I was 14 I wasn't scoring goals like I've been scoring in college or with the [American] U-20s. I developed myself. I worked on my weaknesses and made them my strengths. You can boo all you want, but at the same time it's like you really can't take away the smile I have on my face once our team wins."
The so-called friendly was anything but for the two teams, who had battled goal-for-goal in last summer's Olympic match that will go down as one of the most memorable games in Canadian soccer history — women or men.
Sinclair recorded a hat trick in that match that turned on a controversial free kick. Referee Christina Pedersen awarded the kick to the Americans in front of Canada's net, claiming McLeod took longer than the allowable six seconds to put the ball back into play.
Sunday, BMO Field's 22,453 fans — a record for a soccer game at BMO Field — loudly counted off the seconds each time American 'keeper Nicole Barnhart took a goal kick.
Those were arguably the most entertaining moments of a sloppy affair that saw the Americans dominate possession in the first half, keeping Sinclair under wraps. She finally got free for a decent shot on net in the 48th minute, but fired it over the net.

The weather around here has been crappy the last couple of weeks. Some rain most days and heavy rain a few times. Lows in the teens to mid 20's with two nights getting down to near zero. Nice the last two days 50's yesterday and 62 today. So whats wrong with that? Today was perfect for a walk around the place. The trees, red oak, Bradford pear, Yoshino cherry, poplar, and lilac all have new buds. A few dandelions have blooms. And this is still December! I usually trust what the trees, birds, and worms tell about coming weather. A hard March frost and I will really have something to whine about. Is this an omen of some kind?

Re: I'm not sure I like this
The old times said "Thunder in December - a winter to remember" We had a bad thunderstorm about a week before Christmas. Have to wonder whats next. 75 degrees two days ago and now back to the deep freeze. Most of our precip so far has been liquid. Haven't got to try out the snow blade on the cub

We were "iced in" and had a couple bad fast moving lightning storms here, and the ice/snow have now melted, then flooded areas not far from here!----Back to the teens here and wind chills near zero!
The long range forecast , from what I can see is that they are calling for another cold/late/wet spring for 09, so could bad! thanks; sonny

Skyfall passes £100m mark in UK
11:35am Monday 31st December 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Skyfall has become the first movie ever to take a nine-figure sum at the UK box office.
The film, already the most successful movie hit in the UK, has now passed the £100 million mark in the year the 007 movies celebrated their 50th anniversary.
It has also become the third film of 2012 to make one billion US dollars worldwide, making it the highest grossing film in studio Sony's history and the most successful Bond movie ever.
The flick, in which Daniel Craig makes his third outing as the suave secret agent, joins Avengers: Assemble and The Dark Knight Rises in reaching that figure in global ticket sales this year.
Directed by Sam Mendes, 007's 23rd outing also stars Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench and Ralph Fiennes. It sees Bond battling with villain Raoul Silva (played by Javier), who aims to take revenge on his former boss M (Dame Judi).
Sony vice chairman Jeff Blake said: "To see a film connect with audiences is always gratifying, but the success of this film is nothing short of extraordinary.
"After 50 years of entertaining audiences all over the world, Skyfall is the most successful James Bond film of all time."

A 59-year-old Los Angeles County man jumped off a parking structure in downtown Riverside, but survived the fall with apparently no major injuries, say police and fire officials.
The incident was reported about 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28, at Ninth and Market Streets, less than a block from City Hall.
A witness saw him climb over a wall on the second floor of the three-level structure, then hang briefly from the side of the building before dropping 10 to 15 feet to the ground, said Sgt. Russell Stump.
The man landed on grass between the sidewalk and the building.
He told firefighters he lives in Lomita.
"He was complaining of pain to his … legs," said Battalion Chief Bob Valdez.

CLARK COUNTY (WKOW) – Authorities say they're trying to
figure out what charges to recommend for two teens that sparked a dangerous
chase across western Wisconsin counties Wednesday night.
The case spans multiple counties and authorities say that's what
makes it more complicated. Clark County's
Chief Deputy Jim Backus says each county will be looking at their own
individual situations to file charges against the teens.
The situation started in Taylor County when a 15-year-old
and 13-year-old stole a car and some guns.
After the chase crossed county lines, swat teams from four
different counties were called in to help.
The state patrol joined in the effort from the air.
Backus says, "Green Bay Police Department was immediately
notified and they were taken into custody without incident."
Authorities say the boys may have been involved in recent
crimes within Clark County.

RICHMOND — The Northeastern men's basketball team couldn't have selected a better year to win the Colonial Athletic Association regular-season title. You could say NU's timing was impeccable.
By virtue of their first CAA title since joining the league in 2005-06, the top-seeded Huskies (19-11, 14-4) earned a bye to the semifinals of the CAA's tournament at Richmond Coliseum, where the absence of anchor teams such as Virginia Commonwealth, now a member of the Atlantic 10, and Old Dominion, which was deemed ineligible after announcing its intention to leave next season for Conference USA, will truly make it a neutral site.


text: Two months ago I highlighted again the inability/unwillingness of President Obama to confront our need to develop all domestic energy sources, especially oil. I estimated up to 800,000 jobs could be created which are vitally needed with long-term unemployment and underemployment now projected at 16.5 percent. A recent Wall Street Journal op-ed outlined a project that is being deliberately delayed because of Obama's allegiance to the green lobby, with 138,000 jobs (including 20,000 union jobs) being jeopardized.

The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) has awarded filmmaker Caro Thompson of Walden, Vt., its History Medal for her documentary "Champlain: The Lake Between".
The film, which premiered on Vermont Public Television as part of the Champlain Quadricentennial, explores the diplomacy and trade between Native nations and Europeans that flourished in the region during the 17th and 18th centuries. It details how Frenchman Samuel de Champlain arrived in what became known as the Champlain Valley in 1609 and changed the course of history.
Thompson was honored at the annual conference of the Vermont DAR in Montpelier.
The medal was presented by Diane Kreis, Vermont state regent, and Elizabeth Bicknell, regent, Seth Warner Chapter, based in Vergennes.
The award letter from the DAR said, "Clearly, Ms. Thompson has contributed to the greater understanding of American history."
Thompson acknowledged the collaborative process of making the film in her comments, saying, "I accept the award on behalf of the historians, culture bearers and re-enactors who guided and tutored me over the three years of the film's development."
The film won a Boston-New England Emmy Award, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting gave Vermont Public Television its My Source Award for Education Innovation for the related educational activities.
Thompson's company, Broadwing Productions, was one of four partners in the Voyages of Discovery Project funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services. The other partners were the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, Vermont Public Television and the Bixby Memorial Library in Vergennes.
Vermont Public Television will re-air "Champlain: The Lake Between" on Monday, Oct. 18, at 10:30 p.m.

NationWide was founded in March 2010, and has grown from a single clinic to 15 clinics across Bangalore, including three hub clinics and 12 satellite clinics. A major part of the current investment will be utilised to rapidly expand operations over the next 18 months and to set up a total of 120 clinics in Bangalore.
The primary healthcare market is currently estimated at $40 billion and is expected to cross $200 billion in the next 10 years. Anticipating massive growth, NationWide has partnered with leading diagnostic lab chains and tertiary-care hospitals.
Norwest Venture Partners is a venture capital fund that manages more than $3.7 billion in capital. It invests in early to late stage venture and growth equity investments across a wide range of sectors.
Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Northwest has subsidiaries in Mumbai and Bengaluru, Herzelia in Israel and Hong Kong. Norwest has been active in the healthcare space in the country.
Speaking about the funding, Santanu Chattopadhyay, Founder and Managing Director, NationWide, said: "We aim to bring back the family doctor concept in the organised sector in India.

Since Holly and I started working on this podcast, we've gotten more than 200 suggestions for episodes. It's a little nuts, and considering that we only publish two episodes a week, it seems impossible to touch on even a fraction of those. But when someone asked whether we were going to do any more Civil War episodes for its 150th anniversary, I thought, "Surely there has to be something the podcast hasn't covered already."
Indeed there is. And for this one, it's one of my favorite things: A lady dressing as a man to go off to war. Sarah Emma Edmonds, Canadian citizen, fought for the Union undetected for almost two years.
Our listener mail is from Facebook. It's from Sheena, who wrote about our cheese episode. We clarify a little cheese history. And talk about Holland vs. the Netherlands.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A group of former Kentucky Kingdom workers have banded together to push for the re-opening of the amusement park, and the movement is gaining momentum.
On Tuesday, the Kentucky State Fair Board is expected to hold a walk-through of the park for prospective bidders. Potential owners and operators will get the chance to take a gander at the park Tuesday morning at 9:00.
"Save My Park" has just developed over the past few weeks, and has its own Web site and Facebook page, which already has over 2,000 "likes."
Jacob Zimmer has fond memories of Kentucky Kingdom. "For many of us it was our first job, either in high school or in college," he says.
Zimmer is one of ten former workers who have recently organized the group.

Click HERE to visit the Save My Park Facebook page
The Facebook page dons pictures of the park's glory days, when it was still open and flowing with thrill-seekers.
Former operator Six Flags closed the park after its 2009 season.
It still sits unused at the Kentucky Fair and Expo Center. That's what concerns the group of former workers, especially after the words of Ky. Gov. Steve Beshear and Ky. Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson last month.
"Now that it is obvious to us that the wrecking ball might happen," says Rob House, another organizing member of Save My Park, "we are trying to gain awareness so we would like for people to visit our website."
Now, the state is asking for ideas. The state wants prospective park operators to describe rides and attractions, a marketing plan, and pay for the bulk of renovations.
Former Kentucky Kingdom owner Ed Hart has submitted a second proposal, but the Fair Board wants to review all options.
Oct. 19 is the deadline for potential owners to submit bids.

Pence is locked up for one more year - so he's not a rental. He is, I believe, a significant upgrade offensively to anything the Giants have in Center or Right. As long as (1) Brown isn't in a deal and (2) it does not affect their ability to sign Cabrerra, I fail to see a downside here.
I suspect Nate would be part of any such trade. The question is, of course, who else. Maybe one of the catchers. Maybe Panik. Maybe even Hembree although i know he's hurt right now.
I think the Giants realize that the Dodgers are going to continue to add. Ramirez is a game changer. And who knows when Pablo comes back. They need someone that can hit with some power. Pence fills that bill. Plus he can run and he's a solid right fielder.
I hope it gets done. But please, don't incloude Brown.

My fears are only for tomorrow, embracing, the anxiety that things may just shatter
I waited so long to see you again. No matter how discouraged I found myself getting, I kept waiting. Waiting was something that I became accustomed to, something I relied on. You promised, promised that you would be back and I silently promised that I would wait.
So I did. I still am. Why aren't you here yet? Did you really forget about me? Our promises? Everything…? Help me understand why I'm still waiting. Prove to everyone that you are coming back and you'll never leave
You know, it isn't always easy to keep waiting. While the world kept moving forward, I kept my head down and continued to wait. When I kept my head down, everyone left me behind and I was left alone. Where were you? Did you realize I was still waiting? Did you honestly think I would stop? It hurts to wait…
…It hurts.

Hi guys.............I am again seeking your expert guidance.
So far, my n900 is working fine...
Initially, I downloaded the Extra-Codecs, along with kmplayer and mplayer and the whole arrangement has solved the video related problems;
I have also upgraded to the latest ver. 1.3( a few weeks back).........................downloaded and configured the n900 Repositories( Extras/ Extra-Devel/ Extra Testing)....only yesterday;
Also downloaded Cutetube yesterday.........and it is working perfectly. So far no problems.
Next I want to go for the........ FM Transmitter fix..........Swappolube............Office-Products
Here I need your help and guidance:
How to schedule these downloads/ installations? Which one do I do first?
Any other suggestions besides the above?
Shall I go for the abiword/ gnumeric or go for the paid version of the Documents to Go?
Whether Black-plastic theme is required after doing the Swappolube and Over-clocking?
Later I plan to go for the Meego installation as well...but that can wait till the next April, when the version 1.2 comes out.
25-11-2010 8:12
I am keenly following the suggestions in ceroberts following thread /t5/Maemo-Devices/Top-12-Maemo-N900-Issues-amp-Fix
which is a great collection, anyway.
30-11-2010 15:16
No reply?!
OK...let me simplify my query.
Does Swappolube speeds up the micro-processor itself?
Which one do I do first....over-clocking or implement swappolube?
Kindly bear with my ignorance......I am working and trying to get there...
30-11-2010 16:34
30-11-2010 16:38

The Online Game Review – An In Depth Analysis of Derek Lamont's Program
The Online Game Internet Attraction System – Is Derek Lamont's Product For Real?
So you want to know what "The Online Game, Internet Attraction System" is all about.
Maybe you have signed up with an online dating website, expecting to catch a few women's eyes but sadly you are experiencing dead silence, not getting any kind of responses at all.
Or maybe you want to meet that cute girl you saw on Facebook the other day but don't know how to start a conversation with her. Heck, I remember being in that place not long ago.
That's why when I heard about The Online Game, I decided to give it a try, to really see if it could really help me improve my online dating skills. Below you will find a brief review of The Online Game Internet Attraction System, that I hope will help you get started in your "quest" of how to meet women online.
The Online Game- What is exactly?
The Online Game is a step-by-step system to meet and seduce girls online. The program was developed by Derek Lamont, a guy who was a student of some of the most prestigious pickup artists and seductionists in the world and who has perfected the art of attraction especially in the "Online Field".
The whole program focuses on areas such as creating an outstanding and attractiv online profile, sending messages to girls, even how to transition to talking on the phone and meeting her in person and much more.
Delivery Method: The entire program and all the bonus components are digital – they can be downloaded immediately.
Trial offer: As of the time this review was published, you can access a 21-day free trial of the program with no strings attached.
Money-Back Guarantee: The program comes with an unconditional 8-week 100% money-back guarantee.
Program Website: www.OnlinePickupSecrets.com
The Online Game – What's Inside This Program?
1. The 224-Page "The Online Game" E-Book
Derek's program consists of several different components, but the most important one is definitely this 224-page e-book. To begin with, the book itself is impressive: it's beautifully presented and extremely professional in its layout and format. When you start reading the first few pages, it becomes clear he has put a lot of effort writing the book … and there's no doubt the content is meticulously researched.
The e-book is broken into a number of chapters, each covering a specific topic. From teaching you how to create a profile and write email messages that will get her interested in you, all to how to get her on the phone and meet her in person. In addition to being easy to read and understand, the book includes numerous examples.
2. "Quick & Easy Profile and Message Tips" Three Part Audio Course:
If you're a busy person, you probably won't always have time to sit down and read. That's why I found this audio course very convenient, you can listen to it on your couch, in your car or even while jogging around your neighborhood.
The audio course, which outlines vital tips for profile content optimization, profile pictures, how to message women, etc; is professionally recorded and contains a number of very useful tips beyond the main e-book.
3. Personal email coaching offer:
Perhaps the most valuable component (aside from the main e-book). Essentially, you can email Derek any questions you have about online attraction, and you'll get a detailed and personalized response. The little downside though is that you only get a month of this personal email coaching.
And like many other e-book authors, Derek Lamont includes unlimited access to book updates giving you a lifetime membership to all the online dating advice you could ever want, because he releases regular program updates with new and up-to-date strategies, bonuses, etc.
How to meet women online
The Online Game Internet Attraction System – The Bonuses:
The program also comes with several bonus items. The first bonus – is the e-book "101 Romantic Ideas", inside you'll find some of the most creative romantic ideas that will keep those girls coming back for more! And will be especially suitable for those of you who are looking to attract women for more "noble reasons".
The 2nd bonus is the e-book "3 Keys to Seducing any Woman", read it before talking to any woman that you know, you'll understand why when you go through this report.
The 3rd one is the e-book "The Secret to Getting Her Back" which contains tips for helping you get back with your ex, if that is what you want.
The 4th one is the e-book "7 Simple Steps to a Better Body", although you don't need to be naturally good looking to use the program, this report will definitely give you an "extra edge" over the competition.
And there are also some additional "secret bonuses" at the time of this writing that Derek has included if you decide to acquire the program today.
In Summary:
Ok, so despite my initial skepticism, I can now confidently say that this program will help you get started at meeting and dating women online. It's pretty much guaranteed to give you a serious confidence boost when you start seeing how your interactions with women online improve.
And speaking of a guarantee, Derek Lamont offers an unconditional 8-Week money-back guarantee so it's always nice to know your purchase is risk-free.
For more information about The Online Game, simply visit Derek Lamont's website. On his web page you can also check out some impressive testimonials that have been submitted by previous customers and more details about the program.
This system has worked for me really good and I am very impressed with what I have learned and the results that I have achieved.
In my opinion if you really want to improve your life and finally be able to meet women and have the possibility of having unlimited sex or have the chance to meet your soulmate… then you should definitely try The Online Game program, after all you don't have nothing to lose and a lot to gain!

Producers' dilemma?
Managing oil sands development in a world of scarcity
The accelerated pace of oil sands development has brought with it a host of difficulties and challenges, including environmental concerns over the volumes of water and energy needed for production, and ongoing labour and supply concerns that force producers to question exactly how they're going to keep the momentum going. Though it took nearly 40 years (from 1967 to 2006) for oil sands production to top one million barrels per day, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) predicts that number will rise to 3.5 million by 2020 – little more than a comparatively mere decade away.
With Producers' dilemma I, Deloitte set out to shed some focused light on the situation, using the mathematics of game theory to model development scenarios. These scenarios aim to answer a fundamental question: How can industry and government affect the pace of oil sands development in the near future?
With Producers' dilemma II: Managing development in a world of scarcity , the game theory model expanded to include the direct participation of both industry and government. This builds on the first phase's role-play exercise in which a group of Deloitte Energy & Resources professionals and associates simulated the strategic options and preferences of major oil sands companies and the Alberta government — in game theory terms, the "players." Game theory represents the needs, challenges and opportunities of the players — especially where each player's behaviour influences the others — and allows for the exploration of the widest possible range of future scenarios.
The first phase revealed two optimal outcomes: "maintain pace" and "maintain peace," where the evident need to choose between the two was the literal dilemma itself. Strikingly, the second phase reveals that producers can resolve the dilemma if they focus on unifying these seemingly divergent paths. In other words, the players can maintain the pace of development if they also maintain peace.
The Producers' dilemma process and resulting insights together support Deloitte's assertion that traditional ways of project planning can be enhanced. Such analysis is already enabling industry players to improve their strategic decision-making abilities — and ensuring the industry continues to engage in dialogue to anticipate future outcomes and implement enhanced business planning.

A bit of background: Tasker is an Android application (not free in either sense of the word) that does things to your phone when certain conditions (called contexts) are true. For example it could change the wallpaper (task) when you have unread text messages (context). I have, for example, Tasker tasks that turn my phone to silent between 10:30pm and 7:30am local time; and to run rsync backup (which copies the contents of my phone to my home server, ie backs it up) every time it is both on power and connected to my home wireless network.
Tasker somewhat trades between UI simplicity and power in favour of power (although even then I think there are better possible UIs for it). You can generally find specific apps that do individual Tasker-like things (for example, I would not be surprised if there was a 'Silent at Night' app), but Tasker lets you specify a wide variety of contexts and tasks.
First: the LCA calendar iCal is in my Google calendar, so it's available to Tasker through its Calendar contexts. So that's prior to setting this up.
The basic setup would be this:
After this teeny (ahem) amount of work you now have a Tasker task that silences your phone during any event on the LCA calendar.
Fine print
My setup is a bit more complicated than this because I thought 'wait, I want my phone to ring during meals'. This is a pain in the neck to do.
I added a second Context (long hold on the existing context), another Calendar Entry, also on the LCA calendar, but I also searched for location, selected 'MCC Foyer' (which is where the morning and afternoon teas are) and selected the Not tickbox, to make it a negative context. The total effect is that when there's an event in the LCA calendar AND when there's not an event in the LCA calendar that is in MCC Foyer, the task triggers. But that's quite a bit nastier.
It can end up being easier to have a calendar that amounts to a 'Do Not Disturb' calendar, which isn't ideal. Some people do something like "silence during anything in my work[/personal] calendar that's marked busy", etc etc, which would be longer lived than my LCA recipe. BUT at least my LCA recipe buys us silence for this conference!]]>
The plan is that we will do "Teach me py.test" along the lines of Steve Holden's "Teach Me Twisted" session at PyCon 2008 (see Catherine Devlin's report). The idea of the session is that I (genuinely new to py.test, although not to either Python or to unit testing in general) will hook my laptop up to a projector and learn how to write tests in py.test, with Brianna teaching me.
We have pulled some of the business logic out of Zookeepr into this git repository in preparation for the talk at 16:05 in MCC6. I am not sure how much we will cover in 25 minutes, presumably not a lot, but it should be an interesting experiment in presentation style.]]>
I rarely go to LCA's tutorials, but really, after years of not having to worry too much about distributed version control systems due to having in-house technical support from my husband, a (now former) Bazaar developer, it's probably time that I came to grips with git. Hence Git For Ages 4 And Up (Michael Schwern) is tempting, hopefully it's OK for those of us who do use terms like "directed acyclic graph". This does mean missing Wiggle while you work (Neil Brown) though: apparently you can't be a git beginner whilst being interested in newfangled patching algorithms.
After lunch The IPocalypse – 20 months later (Geoff Huston) calls to me: it's the sequel to his LCA 2011 keynote, which is the one that stood out to me. (Well, and Mark Pesce's, yes, but funnily enough his actual content largely passed me by.) All that doom and gloom, and now what? Has IPv6 cost us our Internet?
A Tridge talk (Building a free software telemetry radio system) is an even more obvious pick than a Matthew Wilcox talk. (Although why did we put that particular talk up against Buffer Bloat? Tridge is going to talk about TCP performance issues.)
In the afternoon Keith Packard has a new passion (Teaching Robotics and Embedded Computing with Legos and Arduino) and then Ristretto: run-time types for JavaScript (Shane Stephens) sounds alarming. In a good way.
It might also be a two-tute LCA, with Beyond Alt Text: What Every Project Should Know About Accessibility (Denise Paolucci) up first. BUT NovaProva, or How I Did Six Impossible Things Before LCA (Gregory Banks) is the good crack ("NovaProva implements true reflection in C/C++"???), so… difficult!
After lunch, Asheesh Laroia's Quantitative community management is closer to what I do but I am also curious about The real story behind Wayland and X (Daniel Stone). In the final session, probably Building Persona: federated and privacy-sensitive identity for the Web depending on how my conference energy is going.
And then where?
I'm headed back to the USA in March for PyCon, and I'm looking forward to having way (waaaaaay) less commitments than I did at Wikimania 2012, and therefore being able to catch more of the talks. And not dragging myself to my hotel room at 4pm to order crème brûlée room service because I am too tired to figure out how to work the lifts. (It was good crème brûlée though!) The Ada Initiative will probably be running some non-talk activities though, so it won't be wall-to-wall talks. And then a second return to the USA for AdaCamp SF. And that really might be enough for one year, but if not, there's always Kiwicon.]]>
LCA used to be my main way of reconnecting with open source while I was working on my PhD. But now I work for the Ada Initiative and open source (and open stuff) events are a big part of my job. While I have more time and energy for conferences I am attending them for very different reasons now and the lure of the new is getting strong.
Because my volunteer time is diminishing, LCA 2013 is definitely the last LCA in which I will have had significant input into the program (Michael Davies and I are co-chairs of the conference program this year, as we were for 2010). So, it's something of a farewell tour for me and I'm looking forward to the program we worked so hard putting together.
… actually my non-LCA-ing family is still in town Monday, so I'll probably go to Bdale Garbee's keynote and then hang out with them. Off to a great start here, I know.
Radia Perlman's keynote is the keynote I am most looking forward to this year. Following that several of my peeps are giving Haecksen talks before lunch:
People may be especially interested in the Imposter Syndrome talk, Imposter Syndrome being the feeling that you've achieved your current position or status totally fraudulently and are going to be discovered any second and publicly humiliated. It's very common among people who are in quite critical fields (like academia). Denise was among our Imposter Syndrome facilitators for AdaCamp DC.
I am not sure after lunch, but Web Animations: unifying CSS Transitions, CSS Animations, and SVG (Shane Stephens) is a definite contender. In the afternoon The Horrible History of Web Development (Daniel Nadasi) sounds interesting (although it's the kind of talk where an abstract would be really useful in determining whether I want to go) but so do What we can learn from Erlang (Tim McNamara) and Concurrent Programming is not so difficult (Daniel Bryan)
Trinity: A Linux kernel fuzz tester (and then some) (Dave Jones) is very tempting in the first slot, but I think I will go to Think, Create & Critique Design (Andy Fitzsimon) because I want to "speak" design semiotics a little bit better and have for a long time. Talking to graphic designers is actually part of my job.
In the second slot I am not entirely sure, but probably Open Source and Open Data for Humanitarian Response with OpenStreetMap (Kate Chapman) since I periodically dabble in OpenStreetMap.
After lunch my pick is definitely Free and open source software and activism (Sky Croeser). I've been following Sky's activism and research since the EFA lamb roast fun and met her at AdaCamp Melbourne. I want to hear what she has to say about (h)ac(k)tavism.
Not as sure about the following slot (in a moment of mischief, we put the DSD's talk right after Sky's, but I'm not especially interested) but the biggest contender is The future of non-volatile memory (Matthew Wilcox) because he usually is one of the highlights of the LCA lower-level technical talks.
The first slot after afternoon tea I am not committing, but it does contain Pia's grand scheme Geeks rule over kings – the Distributed Democracy. After that I think Copyright's Dark Clouds: Optus v NRL (Ben Powell) is required: it isn't LCA without emerging feeling distinctly gloomy about the current state of the intellectual property framework.]]>

It was a major upset and a major disappointment for Strikeforce, which hoped to establish Lashley as a star in its heavyweight division. Lashley has been exposed as a big, tough-looking guy who can talk a good game but isn't much of an MMA fighter.
"This is one of the best days of my life," Griggs said afterward. "It feels so good, it's like a dream. Everybody has been talking up Bobby. Bobby is such a big, strong athlete, I've got to give it to him. But I felt him getting tired."
Lashley did exactly what he wanted to do just seconds into the first round, taking Griggs down and putting him on his back. But after a minute and a half of Lashley not doing much more than lie on top of Griggs, Griggs managed to stand back up and start to land some strikes, including a hard knee to the body and a punch that opened a big cut under Lashley's left eye. By the end of the round Lashley was breathing heavily and bleeding profusely.
In the second round Lashley took Griggs down again and controlled him again, and midway through the round Lashley got into full mount and appeared to be close to finishing. But Griggs showed impressive toughness with a bigger, stronger man on top of him, holding on and even landing punches from the bottom.
With 33 seconds to go in the second round, the cut under Lashley's eye was so bad that the referee paused the fight and asked the doctor to examine it. The doctor said Lashley could continue, but when the fight re-started, it started standing up, rather than with Lashley having Griggs mounted, which is where the fight was when the referee paused it. Lashley went for a takedown and Griggs responded by drilling Lashley with a series of hammer fists. Lashley was badly hurt when the second round ended and couldn't get up to go to his corner, ending the fight.
Griggs improves his pro MMA record to 9-1. Lashley falls to 5-1.

JBS CEO Art Thompson's weekly news video update for May 12 - 18, 2014.
On Friday, May 9, 2014, Moscow's Red Square was once again the site of massive demonstrations as Russia commemorated the 69th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany.
For the past few decades the Communist regime of China has been driving toward world supremacy, both economically and militarily.
Before being sanitized by a "ghostwriter" who now works in the Obama administration, the recently released original manuscript of South African revolutionary Nelson Mandela's autobiography exposed the widely celebrated figure as a self-proclaimed violent enemy of "democracy."
UN documents and statements reveal a plan to transform children into "global citizens" in the coming "green" and "sustainable" world order.
While the crisis in the Ukraine appears to be geopolitical maneuvering between Russia and the West, in truth, Russia is working in cahoots with international elites from the West.
JBS CEO Art Thompson's weekly news video update for March 24-30, 2014.
While no one ever lost money overestimating the capacity of the U.S. government to blunder, we cannot rule out that American officials knew exactly what they were doing when they helped provoke the crisis in Ukraine.
Despite evidence of widespread fraud, "former" Marxist mass-murderer Salvador Sánchez Cerén was declared the winner in the razor-thin El Salvador presidential election without a recount.
Neither the Putin regime and its KGB-run Russian media nor the Obama/Kerry regime and their CFR-run media choir are telling the truth about the unfolding events in Ukraine.

Off-season training is important for any athlete to be successful in a certain sport.
An effective training regimen can also help prevent injuries when the upcoming season starts. General fitness should be kept throughout the entire year. However, specific training can begin as early as eight weeks before the start of pre-season. There are numerous benefits to participating in some type of off-season conditioning program, such as an athletic camp.
One benefit includes acclimation of the body to environmental conditions of the specific sport (such as heat and humidity).
Other advantages are adaptations to the body, such as strength and power, as well as increased resistance to injury.
In addition, an individual's aerobic capacity can improve, which can ultimately influence an athlete's potential during the regular season. Increasing a person's maximal oxygen consumption could help recovery time and increase stamina. This is crucial in sports like soccer, football and basketball. Improper, or lack of off-season, training could put the health and safety of the athlete at risk.
If proper conditioning is neglected, a person could also regress in fitness.
Off-season training gives athletes a chance to work on areas of their bodies that tend to be weak or susceptible to injury. Muscular imbalance can increase risk of injury.
Weakness falls into one category of movement deficits. One such example is core weakness, which is exhibited when an individual walks or runs and has an exaggerated shoulder sway. Other movement deficits could include joint instability, postural issues, and lack of mobility and flexibility. Instability issues likely result from muscular weakness around a joint, whether it be an ankle or knee. Postural issues, such as kyphosis (hunched back) and lordosis (excessive arching of lower back) could be caused by weakness and tightness on opposite sides of the thorax and pelvis, respectively.

I don't wear foundation a lot, but when I do, I wear MUFE. :) This was another "wedding look" purchase. I'm blessed with pretty good skin, but I wanted a little something to even things out for the pictures.This is very sheer and super light. It's got kind of a weird texture - like jelly almost - but it goes on really nicely. If you're looking for full coverage, this won't work for you. I'm not sure if it can be layered, but I imagine it's light enough for multiple applications.

This is one of my first faves in foundations. If you've read any of my reviews, i am always on the hunt for the best foundation and continue my quest. However, this base stays in my kit because it is moisturizing, sheer but buildable and has a beautiful dewy finish. Good for dry skin but beware if you are oily, you'll be chasing the shine all the day long.

This looks absolutely beautiful on the skin. Of course, it's more suited to certain skintypes (personally, I think it'd work the best on generally smooth skin that gets red easily) than others, but I have yet to find another foundation that looks as natural and feels as weightless. It's not my HG, but it's pretty close.
I Love love LOVE this product. So much so that this is the first review I have ever written. I have been looking for a foundation that doesn't make it look like I am wearing a mask. As I am an Indian woman, it is really difficult to find the right colour match that doesn't make me too orange, red, or yellow looking (I went for number 18 which works miracles for me). This foundation is for people who already have quite nice skin and are looking to reduce redness and even skin tone. It gives the PERFECT balance of coverage, mattness, and dewiness. The foundation is extremely blendable and comes in a decent number of colours to select from ranging from quite light to very dark. I honestly can't imagine a world without this foundation, especially for us ladies who like to keep things looking on the natural side of the spectrum. I did a lot of research before picking a foundation and from the research I have done, it is not the best suited for oily skin. I have combination skin and it is awesome. This one is around $44 Canadian but comes in a pretty good sized bottle (I believe bigger than average) and with a pump so I feel it is definitely worth it. Give it a good shake before you use it. The consistency is relatively runny so be prepared for that.
This stuff is magic, and doesn't even need setting powder. What's more wonderous is that I am a dancer, and even after a sweaty SWEATY class, this stuff stays right where it should! That's right, it is sweat and water resistant ladies!
This foundation receives 2 massive thumbs up from me and I recommend it to everyone!

This is my favorite foundation! Light coverage but buildable, neutralizes my redness. Wears well all day and even through tough sessions at the gym (I don't bother to remove my m/u first!). I use 38 and in years past when I guess I spent more time outdoors, I would mix it with 20 (I think) in the summers when my color was a bit darker. Love that it's in a pump bottle now! Lasts a long time...good value.

This is a MUST try for anyone that hates the ordinary "foundation" feel on their face. It is super lightweight and liquidy, which makes it very easy to apply. I normally just use my fingertips to spread it on my face. It dries and sets into a powder like finish rather quickly and I found I can work fast with my fingers. I would not recommend using Beauty Blender or any type of sponge with this foundation. The high water content of this foundation will get absorbed into the sponge and affect the final finish.
The foundation offers light to medium coverage, it's perfect for anyone just looking for something that evens out their skin tone. It offers a very natural "no makeup, just good skin" look.
I am Asian with light complexion, and I have been using Ivory 20. The color is just right for me if I wanted to have the "no makeup" look, it matches my color almost perfectly. I normally use shade that is slighter lighter than my natural color. So if MUFE offers another lighter shade with yellow/beige undertone, it would be even better!
I have been using this foundation for months and never had any issue with breakouts. But then again, everyone is different and I normally don't breakout anyways.
Overall, if you want something natural looking and lightweight. This is a MUST try. I think you would love it!

I love this foundation so much. I'm a yellow-undertoned asian, I have MUFE F&B in #32 (slightly orange, warm tone) and #20 (neutral beige for light-skin). #32 is good for the summer when I have a light tan, on other times of the year I find that it's a little too orange for me, so I mix half and half with #20 which is almost perfect. I would give this a 5 if they had something more yellow.
The coverage is simply awesome for everyday wear, it looks like skin but much better. I have fairly good skin with some minor discolorations and a few small bumps here and there. F&B covers these perfectly without making my face look fake and flat. The weird gel consistency can go on light but is buildable and all my friends compliment me about how fresh I look every time I wear this.
This is perfect on its own for dry-normal skinned gals, for those who are oily like me, better use a setting powder. Would definitely buy again. :)

edit- 5/10/14- I will no longer repurchase anything from this brand since they are not cruelty free. My new HG foundation which I prefer more is Urban Decay's Naked foundation in shade 6.
This is definitely my favorite liquid foundation I've ever tried as well as owned. I get addicted to researching stuff on the internet and this is absolutely true for my makeup before I go out and invest. I tried F&B because of all the good reviews and it definitely lives up to the hype. I have pretty healthy skin and my only concern is my unven pigmentation around my cheeks so when looking for foundation wether it be powder or liquid I just need something light and non-cakey to hide my subtle rosacea. This applies and blends into my face so smoothly with my Mac 187 brush and it feels and smells refreshing when applied. When it dries it looks like my natural skin and gives off a dewy look, which I merely offset with sephoras matte face powder(in d33) if I want to have more of a matte look. I wear this in 34 and have been matched to an nc35/nc40 in Mac. I can't wear this alone because my skin seems to have no depth unless I use blush and some bronzer or powder to contour. I do apply moisturizer before hand and only use this when I need more coverage or need something waterproof since it makes me get little bumps around my cheeks if I use this everyday. I LOVE to wear this when I'm snowboarding since it lasts on the mountain :)
If you are considering getting this foundation but balking at the $40 price, keep in mind that the product is fabulous and worth every dime!! If you are looking for a great foundation to use for flash photography, this is the one! I bought this to use for my Boudoir photo shoot and it is my ticket to perfect skin. Yes, as some girls have mentioned, a single layer of coverage is quite sheer. But that is exactly the beauty of this product. It dries into this matte perfection that can truly layered without moving or getting uneven. It is NEVER cakey! There are some parts of your face that shouldn't be caked up with too much makeup, while other spots like blemishes and dark circles can use a little more coverage. ALL men I've talked to think the caked, too-much-makeup look is unattractive. This foundation allows you the perfect control and coverage to get a smooth, velvety finish that just dries into what looks like great skin. Not great skin covered in loads of foundation. I am NC30 in MAC, used Shiseido Dual Balancing Liquid Foundation in O60 and NARS Sheer Glow in Santa Fe, and my MUFE F&B shade is 32. Matches me perfectly. But let me tell you I never want to use those other foundations again! Both the NARS and the Shi gave me a really unnatural look around the jaw line and corners of my mouth, they would crack when I smiled and make me look older, with wrinkles I don't even have! MUFE F&B does NOT do that and just wears beautifully all day! Now I will just be finishing up my other foundations because they were costly and I need to clear out the space.
I suggest using this foundation over a primer, and underneath some setting powder. Instead of the loose & messy MUFE HD powder, I have had the best luck with NARS Pressed Powder (in Mountain). It has a slight tint to give you just a bit more coverage, it is a pressed powder so you avoid the messiness of loose powders, and it is just so finely milled. If I had to only use one foundation the rest of my life, this one would be it!

Islam is a very prominent faith in the Black communities of Amerikkka, and during Ramadan the SF Bay View thinks that it is important for us to have the best possible understanding of the different cultures among us so that organizing can be facilitated against a common foe, the organized bodies that are oppressing us.
September 11, 2009
This month Muslims around the world are observing Ramadan, which is compared in the Black revolutionary tradition to how Black August is celebrated in the prisons, where people fast during the day, exercise more, study more and recommit themselves to their belief system. Under this section I am submitting two stories that look at the faith of young Black Orthodox Muslims in the Bay Area, one from a male perspective and one from a female perspective.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Jared7777 Problem with the air in this hotel When you walk into the lobby, the stench of fake flowers is overwhelming to the point where it is nauseating. When I entered my room at the end of the day, it was 85 degrees outside and over 70 in my room. I spoke with someone who was in charge to ask why the air conditioning was not on in my room. They responded, it was 72 in my room and programmed for 68 - not too far off. I asked how I can put the air on and they said it was required for them to turn it on. I slept awful. August 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by iTatiana great location it is close to the university, hospital and only 5 min drive from the Destiny USA shopping and DINO BBQ. I wish the parking would be free. August 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MikeB75 You Need More Elevators! The hotel was very busy (a lot of guests) and the number of elevators (at least in operation) were not enough to support the guests. We waited over 10 minutes for an elevator twice and at least 5 minutes for an elevator every other time we had to use one. Given the demand for the limited elevators, each time on the elevator it was packed as well. August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by nnn12 good location We stayed at the hotel to visit Syracuse University. It was extremely convenient to the school and was very helpful in that manner. The service was nice and when a problem was brought to their attention they were very helpful and kind. The hotel is in desperate need of a renovation. The rooms are too dark and dirty. August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MikePittsburgh June Stay Used this hotel as a stopover travelling to Canada. I had a kayak on my roof and the check-in desk was very helpful providing parking to accomodate the over height vehicle. My only complaint is that the air conditioning unit in the room was very loud when engaging which caused some disruptive sleep. Otherwise the stay was great. August 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lch1 As good as the first time Stayed last year while dropping my son off at SU Basketball camp. We loved it then and we loved it again! August 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Justcheckingin Accommodating, efficient and friendly. The staff was accommodating and friendly. Our room was ready early so we could change before the wedding we were attending. The room was clean and comfortable. Loved the pillows. The reception was held here and I cannot say enough about the organization and efficiency of the banquet service. Plus the food was very good. Overall fantastic stay. July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Taylor72 Coffee,snacks Even though you had a coffee maker in the room, I feel coffee and fruit should be available in the lobby for the hotel guests. July 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by NL2014 Uncomfortable bed, lots of power outlets I was in room 534 which was very spacious and comfortable. However the bed was very uncomfortable as it moved around alot and creaked with the slightest movement. I did not get a restful sleep at all. Sheraton Syracuse - please decommission that bed. One thing I did appreciate was the power outlets on the side of the night stand. I was able to easily charge my phone nearby and not have to hunt for outlets. July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ATB59 Great rooms, location and staff Was there for my sons wedding reception, staff did a great job and we had a block of rooms. They gave us a great rate and everyone raved about the rooms. July 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Emily25 Great location...Comfortable Beds I stayed in the hotel for a week and loved the view of, and proximity to, Syracuse University! My room was in the front of the hotel, so I watched the sunset from my room every night. The beds were comfortable, plushy pillows, relaxing sleeping conditions. The air conditioner was tricky to control...it was difficult to get the right temp...sometimes it was too cold, and sometimes it was too hot. The outlets on the desk did not work, so that was an inconvenience. But I would stay there again regardless and request a room in the front of the hotel so I get the views again. July 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by PN1234 Unimpressed The hotel was clean, but the housekeeping staff neglected our room. The Do Not Disturb sign was NOT on display yet the staff came by leisurely at 3:30pm one day and didn't even show at all another day to tidy the room. I had to ask for extra toiletries to accommodate the TWO people booked in the room. The food in the restaurant was run-of-the-mill and expensive for what you were getting. Room service (we had it twice) forgot part of our order the first time and had to return with it. By the deliverers own admission, the hotel was empty (not busy) that night and that food omission should not have happened. The front desk was staffed with lovely young people. That was the only plus. July 5, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Drix Great Food & Service Great Food especially for nights stay. Pub have excellent choice of beverage & food. Breakfast a little expensive but, food is great.

Rated 1 out of 5 by CollegeVisitg Worst Night sleep The air conditioning in the room was controlled by the hotel and they refused to set it lower than 68. My room never got colder than 72 and it was impossible to sleep. The Air conditioning unit as well made a ton of noise. This hotel was not up to the sheraton standards. July 14, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Buffalo83 pleasantly surprised Pleasantly surprised. Upgraded to exec floor as a plat. Good view of the SU campus, very picturesque from the 9th floor. Took breakfast in the lounge. Both the evening and breakfast spreads were impressive for a domestic sheraton (wide amount of snacks, veggies, couple of hot dishes at night, full continental breakfast w/ eggs in the AM); nice lounge setting, helpful attendant. Room was modern enough. Hotel met my expectations for an older sheraton. Thing that annoys me is the $13 to park overnight. They have ample parking, so it felt like a money grab. Especially since other hotels in Syr don't charge parking (and since they don't, this won't get reimbursed from my company). I'd likely stay again, tho maybe not for a longer stay (since again, the parking is out of pocket) March 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by OJC123 Over and above John Gallagher and Jane McLaughlin are stellar employees. Upon check in Jane was cheerful and full of useful information- she recommended a great place to eat and told us about the free shuttle service. At the bar John engaged us in fact filled conversation and told us more about the city. When we returned from dinner John and Jane had an after dinner treat waiting in the room- thx again. Neither knew that though our 25th anniversary is in September we were celebrating it on this trip- which also included a cruise. Their surprise gesture went a long way in turning this trip into a memorable one. We will be telling this story to our friends, Jane and John exceeded our expectations. May 31, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by DancerMom Syracuse This hotel embodies the spirit of Syracuse University everywhere. It feels exciting to be on campus and when there's a big game, everyone in the hotel feels it. The rooms are very comfortable and it's so conveniently located to campus and eating establishments on Marshall street. One of the best fitness rooms in my many travels. I appreciate the staff friendliness, especially the housekeepers on the floors who are much friendlier than other hotels. They add to the sense of community. March 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarkWojo Syracuse University Sheraton Overall a phenomenal experience. The staff was fantastic and attened to my every need. The manager was especially responsive to a leak in my room and offer compensation despite the fact it was not necessary. The food was wonderful at Rachel's and the drinks, bar, and atmosphere at the Sitrus lounge was unsurpassed. June 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Drjudge1 Extremely Responsive and Accommodating! As a visiting online professor with several classes ongoing, I needed scanning and multiple laptop accommodations. Some within my room and other services such as scanning to complete granting incompletes provided by business services at the front desk. This organization could not have been more responsive and professional in meeting my requests and I would not hesitate returning to this site. The entire staff was friendly and professional at all times! September 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by rayb At last someone gets it right..... Every single staffer we met was pleasant and accomodating, the food (dinner and breakfast) was excellent and the room was large and comfortable.....how often have you booked a double room only to find that it only had one chair so one of you had to sit on he bed? Wonder of wonders, not here...two comfy chairs with foot stools. Find a reason to stay here so you have a standard by which to judge others! March 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by beachbumra Nice hotel, My wife an I wanted to getaway for the weekend and see the fooliage in upstate NY. Spent the night at this Sheraton, is a nice location if you wanted to walk around the campus. The hotel itself was nice and clean. Really upset with the size of the pool though! It looked a lot bigger then it really was but its okay. Club lounge was nice and staff very friendly September 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JB3233 First time stay I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the bed and the pillows and by the fact that there were blankets on the bed that kept me warm. The room was spacious and clean and given that this was located on a college campus it was surprisingly quiet. I would absolutely stay there again and would stay at the hotel line again after this fantastic experience! September 24, 2012
