I fly RC quite a bit. This one flies fine but breaks easily with a hard landing and cant be fixed. There are several that are manufactured now that take a lot of beatings and still stay in tact. This isn't one of them.
Did not respond to controller. Crashed on First try.
The instructions with this thing are bad. Very unclear how to connect the charger to the copter, they do not tell you that the wire to connect the charger to the battery is inside the copter and you need to take the cover off and pull it out. Be careful when you first fly it until you get the hung of it. Especially, do not fly it if there is a strong wind. On my first real flight, it flew over a fench and lost control and crashed from about 100 ft. shattered the plastic cover and while the frame was bent only a little, the motor no longer runs. Unfortunately, spare parts aren't available, so if you break it, you're stuck. For outdoor copters like this, it's better to stick with a manufacturer who offers replacement parts.
Haven't tried this out yet as it is a Christmas gift, but it came in a giant box and i thought that was just the outer box with material inside to cushion it, but whae I opened it the box was as large inside as out.

Arizona Cardinals
Updated Dec 3, 2012 - 5:32 pm
Cardinals brass discussing coaching position?
The Arizona Cardinals' ugly 7-6 loss to the New York Jets Sunday did nothing to quell the talk that head coach Ken Whisenhunt is on the hot seat.
The Cardinals have lost eight consecutive games and every shred of momentum that was built during a 4-0 start is now a distant memory.
Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com circulated a report Monday that the Cardinals are having internal discussions about defensive coordinator Ray Horton.
Given that the team's defense has had little to do with the team's eight-game losing streak, the fair inference is that the Cards are considering firing coach Ken Whisenhunt and promoting Horton to interim head coach.
Horton interviewed for St. Louis' head coaching position last season before the Rams settled on Jeff Fisher, and is expected to be a candidate for openings around the league this offseason.
Under Horton's watch this season, the Cardinals defense ranks seventh in the league.

Eye Contact Lyrics - Electric Six
Call me a lover,
Or call me a lion,
Call me the minstrel of sighin'.
With God as my witness,
I try to go with this,
But I just can't stand by your lyin'.
You say you wouldn't dare,
As far as you're aware,
What is fair, is fair,
Let's not go there.
We made eye contact,
[?] take it all back.
We arrived here alone,
And we left here together,
Like birds of a cardinal feather.
Drinks came and drinks went,
But drugs were forever,
This contract was doomed to be severed.
You said "all was war,
In love and fair"!
And it was more than I could bear,
Don't make me go back there!
But before there was all that,
We made eye contact,
Trying to steps back,
And then we breach the contract.
We made contact,
With a higher power,
Love growing stronger hour by hour.
There was no room for compromise,
When you made me stare,
Directly in your eyes,
How do I get through this nightmare?
I don't know,
Don't make me go back there,
'Cause I won't go!
I should have stayed in Ohio!
And now they played the last game show!
Without eye contact,
(The more you feel,
The less you know)
[?] take it all back,
(I'm only here to fly)
We made eye contact,
(She looked directly in your eye)
Trying to steps back,
And then we breach the contract,
[?] eye contact,
Trying to slip back,
And we'll take our own back,
We made eye contact...

MOLLY O'NEILL vs. JULIA CHILD:To Whom Would You Turn?????
- j
- JC_JOE Sep 19, 2005 06:28 PM
Julia Child(may she rest in culinary Heaven,as I'm
sure she does)certainly was a true American foodie
icon and absolutely deserves all of the many accolades which she has recieved over her long and fruitful
lifetime.But truth be told,I honestly cannot think of one single recipe of hers which I have felt compelled
to prepare at home.
Molly O'Neill,on the other hand,was,for my money,a
truely indespensable N.Y.Superstar...(all apologies to her brother Paul,but I'm just not a Yankee fan!).Not
only have I saved just about every one of her pages from the Times' Sunday magazine,but I have committed
several dozen to memory and no longer need look them up anymore.
While I miss them both terribly,I really dread not having Molly's assuring guidance in my kitchen every week.Perhaps it was just easier to tear out a page than it was to videotape a show.
Anyone else feel the same sense of loss??And does
anyone know what ever happened to Molly after she left
the Times?Can she still be found at some other venue?
I truely hope she's still alive and cookin!!!!
re: Coyote
LOVE that New York cookbook, for recipes and reading....
That's an easy one for me -- I learned to cook through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking and certain of her recipes, such as for making omlettes, hollandaise, bechamel, vinagrette, etc., are such standards of my cooking repetoire that I don't even think about them as "recipes" anymore. I'd say Julia any day!
Mastering the Art of French Cooking was the first cookbook I bought when I went to college in the US many years ago, and I learnt to cook from it. and still love it. I think it's next to impossible for me to say one is better than the other. Julia Child demystified French cooking for Americans. Molly O'Neill explored and documented the foodways of New York - an amazing undertaking. However, I've never made any of her recipes.
I last saw her on the National Mall in D.C. when New York was one of the programmes in the Smithsonian's Folklife Festival in 2001. I often wonder where she is now.
Julia was primarily interested in bringing traditional and authentic French cooking to American cooks using American ingredients and techniques, not in developing and promoting recipes that would be considered "hers." Along with James Beard she was responsible for creating a revolution in cooking and eating in the United States that has had as much impact on our culture as any other development since the end of the Second World War - including, as one example, the fact that forums such as this one are participated in by so many people. You need only have come of age in the pre-Julia 50's, as I did, to appreciate how much our food world has changed as a result of her.
Now, I'm sure that Molly O'Neill is (was?) a wonderful person who similarly enriched other people's lives with her contributions, but I'll bet that there are many 'Hounds (like me) who've never heard of her before. I can't imagine that anyone who visits here doesn't have some knowledge of who Julia Child was.
That's easy: Julia in less than a heartbeat!
I watched Julia's shows on PBS during my formative pre-teen and teenangst years where she used humor mixed with facts to get important ideals across. She demystified the idea that "French" cuisine could only be made by master chefs and that cooking, for one or a family, was as simple as reading a recipe. I first read a well-worn, obviously-used library edition, "The French Chef," in 1976. The cooking bug smacked me hard 'tween my eyes and I knew from that point forward I was "going to be a chef!" My Sainted Mother indulged my newfound passion by allowing me to cook most of our meals for the next few years. I used many of Julia's recipes to impress friends and family (a tradition with both my parents' abilities).
I have collected many of her books and still use them as references when I run into something that requires explaining.
I enjoyed her banter with all her guests. And I also enjoyed the fact that she wasn't above making mistakes and then keeping it there on the tape (and not on the editors' floor) for the viewer to get a giggle from.
Yes, it'd clearly be Julia.
re: Tom Steele
Sorry, Julia was not God, or she'd still be alive... anyway, I much prefer to think of her as the happy, fallible student of life and cooking that she was for so many years. No, I don't use too many of her recipes: she didn't teach me *recipes*, she taught me HOW TO COOK. She taught me techniques, she taught me about how food works when you heat it in different ways...and she was unfailingly cheerful and helpful and useful for a good solid ninety years.
When I read an interview with her on her 90th birthday, I fell in love all over again when she revealed that she carried in her purse, at all times, a list of every In-N-Out burger stand between San Diego and Santa Barbara. Nope, not God...but a genuine Chowhound!
I have never heard of Molly O'Neill but I doubt anyone could rival Julia. Like many other posters hers were the cookbooks I first started out with and hers are ones that I still refer to when need a refresher on any specific technique. I enjoyed her shows immensely and had the privilege of meeting her and seeing her often when I lived in Cambridge.
BTW I googled Molly O'Neill and it appears the most active information was a speech she made at Denison in 2003.
re: foodiex2
I found that she is writing for the New Yorker as of 2005 - not necessarily on food.
re: MMRuth
Books. Molly O'Neill is writing books:
American Food Writing: An Anthology: With Classic Recipes (2007)
Mostly True: A Memoir of Family, Food, and Baseball ( 2006)
I found Mastering the Art of French cooking after coming home from Europe and looking for a French Onion Soup recipe that most resembled the one I had in France. It was all Julia and it still is. I love rubbing the croutons with garlic and the addition of Brandy. Fall is in the wind and I am ready.
Sure I stacked up the tear-outs(and still do) but I started buying Child's(and Simone Beck's)books years ago and still turn to them regularly--far more than I ever did the Times recipes. When I moved last year, I pitched a huge wad of Times recipes, all of 'em stuff I'd never really considered making; those that I'd used and liked I kept but it was a fraction of the archive. I don't miss them, either. Child and Beck are now considered sadly "old school" by fashionistas but guests never reject their dishes.
According to an interview on Here & Now, MOLLY O'NEILL is vibrantly alive and
cookin' --and writing tomes as well. She published a memoir last year, the amazing American Food Writing, an 250-yr anthology earlier this year, AND is now collecting recipes for a national portrait. asking us all to send in our own/family Recipes to e-addy email@example.com. I sent mine.
I do "know" who O'Neill is, but my real if facetious answer was going to be "Molly O'Neill who?"
No offense to her or anyone else, but in my mind, there's no possible comparison. I never felt much urge to cook O'Neill's recipes and own only one of her books, that I picked up off a remainder table somewhere along the line (along with about 500 others, to put that in context.)
re: MikeG
And just to clarify, I'm not a member of the Order of St Julia either. But apart from not being wildly impressed with O'Neill's stuff, I think it's hard to even argue that they're remotely in the same league in terms of "contributions" to home cookery, let along the general field of "cuisine" for lack of a better word. I wouldn't give Alice Waters half so much credit either for that matter, just to grab another iconiic name off the top of my head... (But then I am decidely opinionated if I'm anything, so take this all for what it's worth. :) ).
re: MakingSense
We went to the kitchen last year in June, on what is now an annual trip to DC after our Outer Banks vacation.
My wife said it was like a hajj to Mecca for me.
re: exvaxman
No question. Julia Child. Molly O'Neil is not even in the same league. If it weren't for the "New York" connection, her name wouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Julia's. Julia changed the way we think as a nation about cooking, about food, about learning to cook and enjoy everything.

This edition of the Pacific Economic Monitor updates 2013 and 2014 GDP growth and inflation projections for ADB's Pacific developing member countries. The theme of the policy briefs included in this issue is regional cooperation and integration.
Emerging risks to growth. ThePacific Economic Monitor's midyear review concludes that the projected slowdown in Pacific growth will likely be more pronounced than anticipated at the start of the year, with growth now seen to moderate to 5.0% in 2013 from 7.6% in the previous year.
Higher growth in 2014 in line with improved global prospects. A more positive global economic outlook in 2014, driven by projected higher growth in Asia and the US along with an expected end of the recession in Europe, is seen to spill over into the Pacific and increase growth in the region to 5.5% next year.
Changing economic ties. The four policy briefs included in this issue, including contributions from the East-West Center and the Crawford School of Public Policy, consider regional cooperation and integration developments in the Pacific.

It's hard to use the term super-group without a couple of obvious stigmas surfacing. It usually constitutes musicians who were sensationalized with other bands coming together to benefit off of the novelty of their collaboration with other already successful players. Often the results are under-inspired, a lucrative opportunity to make a quick buck off of an established name. Not every band assembled of already established players constitutes super group.
The Garcia Project and Acoustically Speaking is heading out to bring the experience of classic Jerry Garcia Band to the USA!
We love the music that Jerry Garcia created with The Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band created. All of us in The Garcia Project and Acoustically Speaking are huge fans and are dedicated to providing the best experience possible for everyone.
Anna Vogelzang – the multi-instrumentalist, producer and songstress -- is set to release Driftless on her own Paper Anchor Music. This is the follow up to 2012's celebrated Canary in a Coal Mine. Amarillo, the first track from the new EP, premiered on BlackBook Magazine's website on October 17th.
Grammy Award-winning musician Brian Setzer donated his signature orange Gretsch guitar to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History during a ceremony Oct. 17. The replica guitar is evocative of Setzer's original 1959 Gretsch 6120 "Stray Cat" guitar, for which he raided his Monopoly game for two dice drilled holes in them and attached them to take the place of the missing tone knobs.
How many more Dead tribute bands does the scene really need? There's truly already plenty out there. Even if the music is structured to be boundless and open for continuation, it seems like bands could better serve the music with an improvisational spirit, but playing originals instead of Dead covers. Indeed it takes a special group of musicians who understand the music inside out and have the ability to diversify the extensive catalogue instead of simply parroting it.
Yet another beautifully sunny day graced us on Friday at Yonder Mountain String Band's Harvest Music Festival. Not a drop of rain and enough sunshine to charge cell phones (a rarity among the few most recent Harvest festivals.) There is such happiness floating through the campsites and stages, families are playing and wrangling children, and barbeque nachos are in my near future. Life is good.
People are rejoicing here on Mulberry Mountain this year. After 3 years of poor weather during Harvest Music Festival, it's finally a perfect weekend. Sunny, cool and breezy...I guess climate change is working in our favor right now. Folks are rolling in and setting up camp, but the crowd seems smaller this year, but it's only the second day - and a Friday, to boot.
At the SHEL/ Under the Willow show at the Abbey Chicago on September 24th, the crowd bubbled over as Erin Donovan spoke of her Irish ancestors and really anyone's ancestors. She was describing one of the first songs the band wrote together as the crowd nearly overpowered her amplification. The song is called Heritage and the music is undeniably spiritual.
In a repeat of last year's memorable run, Kimock will bring an outstanding band of friends into Mill Valley's Sweetwater Music Hall this coming December for three nights – Friday the 5th, Saturday the 6th, and Sunday the 7th – playing from the roots and R & B wing of Jerry Garcia's repertoire.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) - Pedro Martinez has left his rehab start after allowing five runs - four earned - and three hits in five innings for the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the Philadelphia Phillies' top minor league affiliate.
Using a fastball that reached 93 mph on the stadium radar gun and an effective changeup, Martinez breezed through four innings Friday night against the Columbus Clippers, allowing only one run. He then gave up four more in a 35-pitch fifth.
Martinez threw 84 pitches total, striking out four and walking three, in what could be his final rehab start before joining the defending World Series champion Phillies. Clippers center fielder Michael Brantley smacked Martinez's second pitch over the right-field wall.

I got this brush for liquid foundation application and I am happy that I did. This brush does not shed and is great if you are looking for a way to get an airbrushed look. I like this brush more than the 187 because it works better for areas like under the eyes and around the nose and this does not pick as much product as the 187 does so you have more control over the amount of product . I clean this after every use with mac brush cleanser and for deep cleaning,I just wash it with shampoo and conditioner. Overall, a great product just a bit pricey.

I bought this brush to use in addition to my MAC 187 stipling brush. I've had the 187 for about 4 months and after I got the hang of it, loved the way it evenly applies my foundation but it doesn't do a good job around my nose and under my eyes. I was really glad to see MAC had a smaller and slightly more compact stipling brush. I've been using the 130 (with the 187!) for a couple of weeks now and it's exactly what I wanted.
Like all MAC brushes the quality is very good and though I doubt I'll need to buy another I would.

I received this in a swap, so I didn't lose money on it, but I'm not too happy about it.
I used it for foundation as suggested and I used it with Smashbox HD, Benefit Some Kind-a-Gorgeous, and bb creams, they ALL applied streaky.
I can't use it for powder because it's too small, so I ended up using it for contouring, which works quite well.
Anyway, I love stippling brushes so I like to collect them xD but this brush isn't a good brush for foundation at all. Only powder.
I love this brush. It is such a great multi-tasker! I use this mostly for cream cheek products. I have a very small face so most brushes are too large to use, especially when it comes to the cheek area. I actually use a 109 for my blush and I find that a bit too large. Given that, the 130 is a godsend for my small cheeks! I mostly use it to apply cream blushes and very pigmented blushes. I also use this to apply a sheer layer of cheek highlighter. Sometimes, I use this to stipple concealer on larger patches of acne on my forehead and the redness around my nose. In a pinch, I can even use this as a foundation brush if all my other foundation brushes are unavailable. Overall, this is a great brush and I would buy it again if I ever needed to.

So I was in mac looking at this tempted to buy it just on its cute smallness to the 180 stippling brush which i used for my foundation, but didnt buy..
i went back to mac and spoke to the MA and she raved she used and garrenteed if i used it id swap my stiplling brush to this for applying foundation she said it applies better as it can get in those places big brushs cant eg: round the nose and eye area plus she said it makes the foundation sink in more. i said id take it she had sold me on it, It is pricey but I had been given some money by my partner so i thought go for it lets see if shes right!
And yes! I love it! When I first used it i thought hmm its gonna take ages to apply unlike the bigger stippling brush but I just started in small sections and to be honest it didnt really take long and i knew i was covering every little area of my face.
It looked flawless and well covered. she was right I am hooked on applying my foundation with this,
If you like to take the time to get your face flawless then buy this brush!
I also use it to do concealer too.
The reason I give a 4 star and not a 5 is the few times ive used it I think i may have used more foundation with it than the other brush but Its worth that extra pump of foundation for that great look!

I was skeptical when I purchased the130 brush for my foundation. I had used the 190 for a long time. I have been unhappy with the look that brush gave for a long time as well. So a change was in order. I was not sure how it would work since the 130 has such a small surface space. I used the brush like a mineral buffing brush. IT WAS PERFECT! I have not been this happy with an application of foundation in so long! I heard the clouds part and angles singing as the beam of sunlight came down upon me! Give this brush a try ladies. The 190 will be the brush of the past! lol!

This is my absolute FAVOURITE brush. I use it for liquid or crème foundations only because I have found that it doesn't work nearly half as well with any other medium.
My technique is to apply my foundation using my regular foundation brush (Mac 190, or No 7 foundation brush - which is just as good as the 190, by the way) and then use the 130 to stipple the product into my skin using a sort of poking action (Can't think of another way do describe it! Poke the bristles into your face!) This gives the foundation a more skin-like texture and gets rid of any streaks.
If you have tried everything else with this brush but not this technique, please give it a go! You may find afterwards that you have a new found love for it!
If I ever needed to replace this brush, I would buy a new one without a doubt.

I had never even heard of or seen this brush until this past weekend. I was at the MAC counter with my sister and one of the makeup artists had a flawless makeup application. We asked her how she achieved her look and she said it was due to this 130 brush which for some reason is never out on the counter so not very many people know about it. She said it's her favorite makeup brush. I was kinda hesitant b/c it costs $40 but I was sold after seeing her use this to apply foundation on my sister. It creates an airbrushed effect like other reviewers have said. It covers most flaws with a light application that uses very little product. I dispensed one drop of foundation and after covering my whole face, I still had half of the foundation left! So this brush will save you money in the long run b/c it uses so little foundation.
When I first washed the brush, I noticed some shedding. The next day when I used the brush on my face, I think about 10 black hairs came out. The second day, a couple more hairs came out. I took it back to the store and exchanged it for another one. Although this second brush still sheds a little, it's better than the original one I bought. Even though the price is steep and it sheds, I'm still going to keep the brush b/c the application is so awesome!

I bought the MAC 130 brush about 6 months ago and had it sitting in my makeup stash all that time. I finally pulled it out to apply my new Maybelline Fit 355 foundation. OMG, flawless application! The method I used was to dot the foundation on my forehead, cheek, nose, chin and under eyes. Then I blended it out in a swirly motion all over. I finished with loose setting powder using another basic powder brush. The look was perfect. Highly recommend the MAC 130 brush.

I was skeptical about buying yet another foundation brush (I already have the MAC187 and 190) but because it was recommended for the Mineralize cream foundation, I finally gave in. Here's what I thought about it:
- makes it easy to build up coverage from medium to heavy
- perfect for putting concealer under the eyes (i use cinema secrets)
- dense enough to control where you apply foundation (a problem with the 187)
- gives an airbrushed finish (I use it with MUFE HD fondation)
- not the best for mineralize foundation (go figure! it puts on way too much product in my opinion. I'll stick to the beauty blender for that)
- small size makes it time consuming to stipple on foundation (10mins vs 2minutes with the beauty blender or MAC187)
I'd repurchase if I lost mine just because it's my concealer's best friend.

On the day of a wedding, it is our goal to make sure everything runs smoothly. In order for this to happen, there are months of prep work involved behind each and every event…and we certainly don't do it all alone! A few weeks ago, we hosted a staff appreciation dinner to thank our fabulous team for all of their hard work after the busiest spring season thus far! Our girls are used to working events, so it was a nice change of pace for them to be our guests for an evening. We wanted this dinner to be a very special evening for our team, so we took this opportunity to spice up the studio with our signature Funky Shack style. The delicious food and desserts were made by Contemporary Catering and our girls couldn't get enough! While enjoying our food, we reminisced on some of our favorite (and funniest!) moments of the wedding season, and shared lots of laughs. We would like to thank Tessa for joining us to photograph the evening. The dinner was a great way for us to say thanks to our team and to spend an enjoyable evening together.
The Funky Shack is located in the quaint little town of Haralson, Georgia. It has become quite a tourist attaction as a filming site for AMC's The Waling Dead.
We are constanly filling our shelves with pieces for styling and design.
Our amazing dinner was provided by our good friends at Contemporary Catering.
We made these cute little tool aprons for our team in appreciation for a very
successful spring wedding season. (We had a selfish motive behind this one!)

NORTH SMITHFIELD -- Head coach Tom Bourgeois had told his lone starting senior, Sidra Ethier, that if she had to miss North Smithfield HighŌĆÖs home clash against Woonsocket on Monday, he more than understood.
After all, Ethier ŌĆō ranked second in her class ŌĆō was to accept a National Honor Society award later that afternoon, and he knew she had to properly prepare for the fete.
ŌĆ£She wanted to be here,ŌĆØ Bourgeois stated. ŌĆ£She told me, ŌĆśNo, Coach. IŌĆÖm playing! ItŌĆÖs our Senior Day, and IŌĆÖm going to be a part of it.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Thanks to her teammates, Ethier had plenty of time to ready herself for the scholastic event.
Sophomore righty Karissa Carlton whirled a stellar four-hitter with just a walk and nine strikeouts while the Northmen bashed 11 hits ŌĆō including five two-baggers ŌĆō to cruise past the Villa Novans, 10-0, in a ŌĆ£mercy rule-shortened,ŌĆØ five-inning affair at Pat Dowling Memorial Field.
With the Northmen ahead, 9-0, in the back half of the fifth, Bourgeois huddled his troops and told them they had to register one more run for umpires to enact the Interscholastic LeagueŌĆÖs 10-run ŌĆ£mercy rule.
ŌĆ£SidraŌĆÖs got her National Honor Society event at 6 (oŌĆÖclock), so we have to get one across,ŌĆØ he implored. ŌĆ£LetŌĆÖs do it!ŌĆØ
The girls didnŌĆÖt disappoint. Sophomore leadoff batter Jess Tremblay poked a bloop single to short left, junior Jaime LaFazia ripped a ground hit up the middle and her classmate, Megan Brodeur, drilled a double to left to plate Tremblay.
Call it a ŌĆ£walkoffŌĆØ hit, as the umpiring crew declared the tilt over.
With the triumph, BourgeoisŌĆÖs crew not only improved to 12-3 in Division II-North action but also clinched the league crown. It still must travel to Scituate for its season finale today at 3:45, but ŌĆō win or lose ŌĆō it owns that II-North title.
Woonsocket fell to 10-5.
ŌĆ£This is so satisfying, and the kids are really excited about it,ŌĆØ Bourgeois grinned while his players celebrated with pizza and soda under a makeshift canopy, that necessary due to the rains that pelted the field just minutes before.
ŌĆ£Last year, we finished second (in league) behind Ponaganset, and the year before, we only had three or four wins,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£Sidra was on two of my teams that only won three or four each season, so IŌĆÖm really happy for her. She deserves this; so do the other girls.ŌĆØ
Ethier may have finished a modest 0-for-2 with a base-on-balls, but Brodeur went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a whopping five RBI and a run scored and Tremblay closed at 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and three runs.
LaFazia finished 2-for-4 with a trio of runs (she also reached on a pair of miscues), while freshman Julia Cloutier went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI and classmate Samantha Archambault 1-for-2 with two runs.
ŌĆ£Karissa was right on it (Monday),ŌĆØ Bourgeois noted. ŌĆ£SheŌĆÖs been getting stronger and stronger as the season wore on. SheŌĆÖs been averaging about 12 ŌĆśKŌĆÖsŌĆÖ a game, so she was more than on pace to do the same.
ŌĆ£Megan hit the ball great, and Jaime, sheŌĆÖs been on fire lately,ŌĆØ he continued. ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt think sheŌĆÖs made an out in her last three games.ŌĆØ
The Villa NovansŌĆÖ Cailyn Marcoux doubled to lead off the contest, though Carlton got the next three with relative ease.
In the bottom of the first, North Smithfield registered two. LaFazia knocked a one-out single to center, and Brodeur drove a ground single down the left-field line before Cloutier walloped a double over left-fielder Varsana ScholbelŌĆÖs head to plate both.
The Northmen manufactured another three in the second when Archambault poked an infield hit and took second on an infield overthrow to first, then robbed third. Tremblay reached on another miscue, scoring Archambault, and LaFazia took first on yet another infield bobble.
BrodeurŌĆÖs bloop single down the left-field line brought in both Tremblay and LaFazia as the hometowners snared a 5-0 advantage.
In the third, NS tacked on four more. Woonsocket freshman Amanda Nunez walked the first three batters ŌĆō including Angela Pasquarelli, Archambault and Angela Barber. Pasquarelli was thrown out at home after senior Kelsey Boucher recovered a wild pitch and threw to Nunez covering the plate, but Archambault scored on another wild offering; thatŌĆÖs when head coach Dan Belisle replaced Nunez with reliever Marcoux , who on her first delivery allowed Tremblay a double to left, one that delivered Barber.
LaFazia reached on one more fielding error, and BrodeurŌĆÖs double to the left-center gap knocked in Tremblay and LaFazia before Marcoux ended the flurry.
All told, Nunez yielded six hits, seven runs (five earned) and four walks while whiffing one; she also had four wild pitches in 2 1/3 frames. On the positive side, Marcoux finished with two hits, the only others Amanda Alexion and Ally Carter back-to-back singles in the fourth.
ŌĆ£When you show up not ready to play a big game, the result is always easy to predict,ŌĆØ Belisle stated afterward. ŌĆ£We got off to a bad start, and it just snowballed from there.ŌĆØ

A senior U.S. military official says Pakistan now has at least two men in custody on suspicion of helping to finance the Times Square bombing attempt.
The investigation into the May 1 attempt has widened as authorities in the U.S. and Pakistan follow the money trail. The official spoke on condition of anonymity.
It is not clear whether the two are members of the Pakistani Taliban, which U.S. authorities say was behind the plot.

As hard as it is for Creighton's Josh Jones to give up basketball, he says it's not worth risking his life to keep playing.
Jones spoke with reporters Thursday, explaining how his heart condition is forcing him to walk away from basketball. He said he'll be the same Josh Jones with or without basketball, but added that it is incredibly hard to quit a game he's played since he was 5.
Jones fainted before the December 6th game against Nebraska in Lincoln and underwent surgery 12 days later to fix an atrial flutter. Doctors have said Jones will require more procedures, making it impossible for the fifth-year senior to return this season. He's scheduled to graduate in May.
Jones had an infected heart valve replaced in 2007.
He was Creighton's top guard off the bench each of the past two years, averaging 7.0 points per game. Jones played in 108 games, including 14 starts, with the Bluejays, collecting 538 points, 151 rebounds, 131 assists and 67 steals. He scored 18 points in a win over Alabama-Birmingham on November 14th.

Red Hat
Summary: Last week Red hat made a number of announcements that indicate the company is following the trends in virtualization from the large to the small by gathering up features provided by others in the open source community and bringing them under the company's umbrella, err, big Red Hat. Here are some of Red Hat's statements concerning their announcement.
Last week Red hat made a number of announcements that indicate the company is following the trends in virtualization from the large to the small by gathering up features provided by others in the open source community and bringing them under the company's umbrella, err, big Red Hat.
Here are some of Red Hat's statements concerning their announcement.
Customers can choose to deploy every Red Hat Enterprise Linux-certified application on the widest range of environments in the industry, including:
- Standalone server systems, scaling from the smallest single-processor systems to the largest servers (including 1,024 processor multi-core servers and mainframes).
- Virtual servers, which can provide improved service levels, operation flexibility and efficiency through features such as live migration, dynamic resource allocation, high availability and clustering. Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides the industry's highest performance, complete virtualization solution, for no additional charge.
- Released today, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 provides significant new virtualization capabilities, including performance enhancements for Microsoft Windows-based guests.
- Red Hat Network has been extended to provide seamless management and automation across physical and virtual servers.
- Cloud computing and Software-as-a-Service deployments allow customers to seamlessly extend their compute resources outside the walls of their data center into "the cloud" to provide an on-demand infrastructure that scales up or down to meet their business needs.
- Red Hat today announced the beta availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). This collaboration makes all the capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise Linux available to customers on Amazon's proven network infrastructure and datacenters.
- Software appliances allow ISVs to distribute their applications as complete pre-packaged solutions, with the operating system included, to simplify deployment, management and maintenance.
- Announced today and planned for availability in the first half of 2008, Red Hat's Appliance Operating System and Appliance Development Kit uniquely enable and simplify a wide range of deployment options, including:
- Fully featured application stacks available from ISVs or through Red Hat Exchange.
- Lightweight portable media solutions - self-contained, pre-provisioned media such as USB keys and live CDs.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux applications can be executed on Microsoft Windows Viridian servers using the Red Hat Appliance Operating System, providing a new way for ISVs and customers to deploy more manageable applications.
Snapshot analyais
It is clear that Red Hat and the open source community are putting aside organizational concerns about single system scalability and single-vendor support of hybrid environments that combine physical systems, virtual systems and appliance applicaitons. It also appears that the company has taken steps into application virtualization by offering ways to deploy applications either as Live CDs or on USB thumb drives.
Many of these features have been available in the open source community for quite some time. It's good to see Red Hat recognized the benefits of that technology and brought it under their increasingly broad hat. This will allow customers to work with a smaller number of vendors if that's their desire.
It is not yet clear if Red Hat's implementation of each of these functions would best the products of vendors focused solely on that market in a fair competition. For example, it's not clear if Red Hat's appliance development and support tools would out gun rPath's or if its management tools for virtual environments would beat those offered by a number of vendors focused on that area.
What is clear is that brining everything together would make the lives of IT executives a bit easier. They could feel assured that Red Hat had done the job of integrating all of these features in a way that was supportable.

Awful pressed powder. Appears coarse and doesn't apply very well. Cakey and looks unnatural.
More reviews by angelic_affliction
Have this in 3, near-perfect match for my skin. Lovely, fine-milled, and gives a v natural finish that is unbeatable! My HG~~~
i really liked this powder.. it's really lightweight, but keeps you matte for a long time.. i think it's worth the money.. i like it soo much more than my usual MAC studio fix.
I bought it after reading the raves here. The MA tested both 30 Naturel and 20 Clair on my very fair skin. The 30 shade was okay and the 20 shade left a whitish cast on my skin. However, when I got home, the shade turned orange on me and it didn't control my T-zone at all. Moreover, it looked cakey.
I wear the Vanille/Translucent Sun in this powder and this is now my HG. I find it better than Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Stila, etc. I have tried them all. This color is a soft yellow, but it is almost translucent on the skin - cutting out redness. I
I'm glad that I looked the price up online before running to the store to try/purchase/fall in love with this silky, finely milled powder that fits nicely between good coverage and letting your natural skin show through because otherwise I would have fainted when I looked at the reciept. $42 + tax is undoubtably high, but this is also an undoubtably amazing powder! Im not sure if its the powder or my new face mask [I suspect both], but my skin definately has a different [better] look to it!
Out of all the powders that I have bought, and I have bought a lot! (Clinique, Mac, Lancome, Sue Devitt Studio (which Sephora claimed was the best), Too faced, etc. This is by far THE BEST! It leaves a very natural finish, without looking cakey, basically you look like you have gorgeous skin with minimal makeup.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This powder is super. It gives excellent coverage and conceals my flaws nicely without caking. Feel like I'm not wearing makeup at all! A tad pricey but the lovely packaging makes up for it.
You know how powder can start looking really cakey and separates with the oils in your skin? well i've finally found a powder that doesn't give that effect! This powder is very finely milled, i use it to set concealer and foundation and during touch ups during the day, i also love the compact, its very nice and classy looking and the powder is completely translucent.
This is an absolute must-have. I will never use another brand again. It sets makeup all day, it goes on smoothly- does not even look like you're wearing makeup, you look like you have perfect skin- when paired with chanel's foundation (any kind, I tried them all) it's amazing. Definitely worth the price.

Left to right, Kwali Liggons and Torrence Moore. | Provided Photo
Updated: March 4, 2013 6:10AM
Torrence Moore remembers the moment he began to change his perspective on things.
His mentor, Art Massolo, now a retired banking and consulting executive, had taken Moore to his office at the First Chicago bank in downtown Chicago when Moore was 14.
The combination of being able to see downtown from Massolo's 12th floor window and then later seeing where Massolo lived in Glencoe was an eye-opener.
"The exposure it gave me made me want to have a better life for myself," Moore said.
With some guidance from Massolo, Moore went on to get a degree in economics from Massolo's alma mater, Hamilton College in New York, and become a banker. He now runs his own financial company that assists small businesses, nonprofits and others, has a wife and two daughters and has guided six mentees of his own.
Massolo, 70, and Moore, 43, were connected through a program called LINK Unlimited, which pairs gifted but economically disadvantaged black eighth-graders with professional mentors. LINK Unlimited provides four-year high school scholarships and mentoring to get students ready for college.
Having met in 1984, Moore has since become a second son to Massolo, and the two have worked together at First Chicago and on the board of directors at both Hamilton College and LINK Unlimited. They still see each other about four times a year, sometimes in Florida, where Massolo now lives.
But both noted that the initial meeting was a bit awkward.
Moore, who now lives in the south suburbs, was raised by a single mother in Chicago's Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood in the 1980s. When he was 16, his mother died from breast cancer, which resulted in him and his siblings being raised by their grandmother. It was a time when drugs and gangs were flourishing among poor youth; two of Moore's brothers got involved with gangs and both spent time in prison. Moore said his mentor exposed him to alternatives to gangs and selling drugs. Massolo's grandfather was from Sicily and was an "ardent socialist" who had come to the United States and saw how African Americans were often poorly treated in the 1920s and '30s. Growing up with his grandfather's influence made Massolo eager to get involved with LINK.
Massolo said he can take only "very little" credit for who Moore has become. But Moore says he's just being modest.
"He put me in positions to see and do things," Moore said. "I think that he deserves a lot of credit."
Massolo estimates that he's gone on to mentor 14 students in all, though he admits, "I've lost count."
And, like Moore, others have gone on to make a name for themselves in different fields. The same has been true for Moore's mentees.
For instance, Moore has watched how Kwali Liggons went from being a "shy, introverted child" to someone who "has come into his own."
Liggons is a freshman at Claremont McKenna College in California, majoring in International Business and Chinese. He thinks he wants to become a diplomat.
Liggons said he got the idea after LINK sponsored a study abroad program in Hungary in July 2011.
Growing up in Calumet City, Liggons said he had a strong mother who provided him and his sister with everything they needed after their father died of cancer. Having Moore as a mentor opened Liggons up even more to new experiences, new connections to other people and new thoughts about finding a career.
"Torrence helped contribute to the person I have become," Liggons said. "He has been here every step of the way."
Moore said coming full circle first as a mentee and then a mentor has been gratifying.
"It's just been a lifetime of joy for me," he said.
January was National Mentoring Month. But there's a year-round need for new mentors, as any mentoring group would be quick to point out.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Nobody should be surprised to hear that the state of Ohio spent a lot more money on snow removal this winter than last.
Last year's warm, mild winter couldn't have been more different from the winter that won't go away this year. And state spending shows it.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that the Ohio Department of Transportation has spent $79.2 million statewide on snow-and-ice removal this winter. Last year, the agency spent $43.8?million in the state in the same period.
Two years ago, the agency spent about $85 million.
This season, ODOT has spread 720,241 tons of salt on Ohio roads. That's compared with 368,667 tons at this time a year ago.
