I think that the main reason why I love this mascara is because of the shape of the brush. It makes my lashes look longer and leaves absolutely no clumps. The smell is a little off-putting and I wish it thickened my lashes a little more, but that wouldn't keep me from buying it again because it's very reasonably priced and works great as an everyday mascara.
Covergirl mascaras are always the best! Though it is the clump crusher, it doesn't ALWAYS live up to its name. It is a very nice product though. It separates your lashes pretty nicely and gives them length. I recommend the water resistant one! If you need a product that holds a curl, this is not the one for you..
I have to agree with many of the reviews on a few points: The brush is nice; the formula is way too dry; few clumps; no length at all; volume is mediocre. Overall I would not purchase again.
I'm torn about this mascara. On one hand, I love how it looks on my lashes. Buildable and clump-free indeed. However, for some reason on me it doesn't remove well. Makeup wipes and remover make it disintegrate into a million tiny pieces that get in my eyes and sting/itch. It's really strange, I've never had that problem before. It's enough to be a deal-breaker for me so I'm heading back to my Benefit They're Real, or maybe gonna try TF Better Than Sex instead.
This mascara is only for those who want super duper natural light lashes because they don't really "show up well or give volume". It basically just didn't do anything for my lashes.
Okay so this mascara is "okay" for the price. It does exactly as the name entails and glides on smoothly without any clumps. I have thick,full, short eyelashes and this mascara does nothing for me. I wear dark black eyeliner and combined with this look you cannot even see my eyelashes. Maybe if you already have long eye lashes this would work great as it does add volume. The other problem with this mascara and short eyelashes...the brush is to big for my puny eye lashes, I end up with mascara on my eyelids regardless of how cautious I try to be. I would NOT buy this mascara again as I feel that it is just another regular mascara that really does nothing special. It does stay on, it does not dry and flake and it does not clump...which is great, but it really does nothing else for me.
I've tried countless high end mascaras and this drugstore mascara beats them all! It truly does what it says, no clumps what so ever. It separates my lashes so well and gives them a ton of length. I love the curved wand, I feel like it grabs ahold of my lashes and curls them effortlessly. This mascara seriously makes my lashes look amazing! I've purchased this several times and will continue to in the future! My only complaint is this mascara dries up pretty quick, I feel like I need a new one every month or two months. Otherwise 5 stars!

I should know better. There is no other mascara of hg status beyond the orange ugly tube of Lash Blast regular formula. In a fit of temporary insanity I tried this new green tube stuff out, --it was on a sale so I juistified the purchase as inexpensive scientific research. Well 2 weeks of wearing it, and the results are in.
This is a perfect Definicils dupe, and it is far less likely to clump than Definicils which is almost never. It's a great little mascara once you get used to the weird curved brush (the original LB monster brush took me some time to learn too). BUT it isn't as good as Lash Blast original in the orange tube.
Up till the orange tube of ugly goodness I felt Definicils was the ultimate best mascara. If I wasn't spoiled by LB, this would be a new HG mascara, but it just isn't quite as good as it's older sister. Here is why.
This green tube stuff goes on wet, dries in reasonable time and doesn't clump. It provides a thin coat of mascara that defines and lengthens but doesn't do much to thicken the lashes. In contrast original LB in the orange tube defines, lengthens AND thickens enough that I quit using eyeliner. With this green tube I went out a few days later and bought an Annabelle black eyeliner which I'm back to using to define the lashline.
This stuff is just like it's older sibling, it goes on smoothly, doesn't flake off, itch or smudge and once you learn the new weird brush, it works better than the old style spoolie brushes to unclump, define and generally make better lashes. It leaves lashes smooth and flexible not all hard and crunchy, and it comes off with cleanser or soap and water.
It stands up to sweat, and oily hooded eyelids so I doubt anyone really needs a waterproof formula except for the beach and swimming or a wedding/funeral in which extended tears might be in the weather forecast.
So its a great mascara, just not one I will buy again as long as they make the original orange tube of Lash Blast volume in the regular non waterproof formula.
Probably best for the natural eye look which Definicils did so well. Just that I'm spoiled and I want thickness as well. So I give it a 4 almost a 5, the price is dirt cheap and the packaging, well much as I hate the ugly colours of CoverGirls mascaras, the wands are the best in the business.
As for the ugly colours and huge fat tubes that roll in all directions-- well the best I can say about that is at least you can find them at the bottom of your purse. (Definicils is nice, it's slim, it's square so it doesn't roll and it is a nice chic black with gold trim!)

-drugstore, inexpensive and accessible
-no clumping!, accurate name, defined
-gives great length and nice volume IMO
-easy to remove
-the non waterproof formula doesn't hold curl unfortunately, you need to reapply after a few hours because the look of your lashes will be greatly diminished.
still love this mascara, but will try the waterproof:)

I have naturally very long lashes.
I know a lot of people REALLY love this mascara, but I was really disappointed with it.
The brush: oh my goodness, I despise this plastic brush. Trying to get close to the base of my lashes feels like using a fork against my eyelid. It is scratchy and uncomfortable.
At the end of the day, my eyes are really itchy when I use this product. Maybe I am allergic to the formula? (I don't have sensitive skin or really any issues with products)
The formula is ok. I don't get clumps, but I prefer my lashes to look much more fanned out and individual than what I achieve with this. Even after swapping out the brush for a more comfortable one, this formula doesn't work for me. Trash bin :(

A loss of confidence: HP fires The Experts; Vickers, Olson lead shooting panels; Hagel lunches with Bloomberg; JSF: hundreds of deficiencies; Amos, taking names; Josh Rogin, not laughing; and a bit more.
By Gordon Lubold
A loss of confidence: The Experts just got so fired. With apparently no nudging from the Navy, the Hewlitt-Packard Company, with which the Navy is contracted, severed its ties with The Experts, with which it HP had contracted (a sub-contractor to the Navy) to perform information technology work on Navy bases. The Experts, of course, was the company for which Navy Yard shooter Alexis Aaron worked. The Experts' President, Thomas Hoshko had probably done the wrong thing by e-mailing Navy Secretary Ray Mabus just hours after the shooting, offering the company's expertise on security and other issues. It was seen as completely inappropriate. HP, in turn, decided it would be best to drop The Experts. HP released this statement late yesterday: "HP has strict policies in place that require contractors and their employees to adhere to the highest standards of business practices and ethics. Based on what we now know about The Experts' conduct, including its failure to respond appropriately to Aaron Alexis' mental health issues and certain incidents recently reported in the press, HP has terminated its relationship with The Experts."
The WSJ's Dion Nissenbaum and Devlin Barrett: "In a statement, the Experts said it was "disappointed" with H-P's decision. The Fort Lauderdale, Fla., company said it had "no greater insight into Alexis' mental health than H-P," and that an H-P site manager had closely supervised him in Rhode Island. Valerie Parlave, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's assistant director in charge in Washington, said Wednesday there were "multiple indications" that Mr. Alexis "held a delusional belief that he was being controlled or influenced" by low-frequency electromagnetic waves. 'To be perfectly honest, that is what has driven me to this,' Mr. Alexis wrote in one document recovered by federal agents, speaking of the purported electromagnetic waves and the attack." The rest here.
Ash Carter announced who will head the new panels looking into issues in the aftermath of the Navy Yard shooting. Deputy Secretary of Defense Ash Carter spoke at a briefing at the Pentagon yesterday about the three panels looking at security issues after last week's shooting. Carter said that the OSD-level review will be led by Mike Vickers, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. His job will be to assess the physical security, access procedures, and emergency response plans at DOD installations and "identify vulnerabilities," Carter said at a briefing yesterday. "And the second [task] is to identify shortcomings in the security clearance and reinvestigation process and what steps we can take to tighten the standards and procedures for granting and renewing security clearances for DOD employees and contract personnel."
Carter also announced that Hagel has directed an independent panel to conduct its own assessment of the same two issues. Carter: "And today, on behalf of the secretary, I'm pleased to announce that former assistant secretary of defense for homeland security Dr. Paul Stockton and former Commander of Special Operations, Admiral Eric Olson, have agreed to lead the independent review." And, he continued: "Throughout this process, DOD's work will be coordinated with the White House's government-wide review, being led by the Office of Management and Budget, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Our findings will complement and support these government-wide efforts. As Secretary Hagel said last week, where there are gaps, we'll close them. Where there are inadequacies, we will address them. And where there are failures, we will correct them. That process is underway. We owe nothing less to the victims, their families, and every member of the Department of Defense community."

The video of Aaron Alexis scurrying through Building 197 is chilling. Stripes' Chris Carroll: "Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis was on the loose for about an hour during his Sept. 16 rampage, engaging law enforcement officials in a series of gun battles inside the headquarters of Naval Sea Systems Command before he was killed, officials revealed Wednesday. Chilling photos and videos newly released by the FBI showed Alexis arriving at the installation, and later stalking through the halls of Building 197 armed with a sawed-off shotgun as he sought victims. Documents on Alexis's electronic devices, including a laptop, cellphone and flash drives, indicated that the former sailor who had recently begun working as a contractor at the Navy yard had no plans to leave the scene alive, said Valerie Parlave, FBI assistant director in charge of the Washington field office. 'There are indicators that Alexis was prepared to die during the attack, and that he accepted death as the inevitable consequence of his actions,' she said." Read the rest here.
Scratched into the side of his shotgun, a reflection of Alexis' mental state: "End for the torment!"
A former public affairs bubba for the VA writes that the "angry vet narrative" has to stop. Alex Horton, writing on Defense One: "A shallow discussion on mental health and the veteran experience has led to media shorthand for violence linked to former troops. Exposure to profound trauma mixed with weapons training invokes a strong image of downtrodden veterans, and news outlets drew tenuous lines from that idea to the Navy Yard shooter. Alexis, a Navy reservist, never saw combat and maintained electrical instruments during his service. He was honorably discharged despite the Navy's pursuit of a general discharge following a stream of bad conduct. Yet headlines that mentioned his service carried an unsettling subtext-his military training helped in the crime, and since he was a veteran, he had been struggled with post-traumatic stress. Veteran advocates immediately protested the media's portrayal, calling it inaccurate, damaging and untrue. The latest (and most prominent) comes from CNN's Peter Bergen: 'It's a deadly combination: men who have military backgrounds -- together with personal grievances, political agendas or mental problems -- and who also have easy access to weapons and are trained to use them.'
"Bergen links Alexis and Nidal Hasan, the radicalized Fort Hood shooter, by virtue of their service. One issue noted by Bergen is access to weapons and military training. He makes an extraordinary leap here." Read the rest here.
Today, Chuck Hagel has lunch with old friend Michael Bloomberg at a New York restaurant, Gabriel's. Hagel will later meet with Secretary of State John Kerry and meet with the Gulf Cooperation Council. This, we're told, is the third iteration of a meeting where the U.S. meets with Gulf partners in an effort to provide a way to discuss how the U.S. can work better with Gulf allies and aids them in working better together - including on things like Syria and Iran.
Yesterday, we wrote a screwy headline that suggested the military was moving drones from Djibouti in Africa - we meant within. The WaPo story yesterday was about the need to move drones from Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti to another location within the country due to safety concerns flying the drones near where commercial planes fly. Apologies for the confusion.
Also yesterday, the link to our own story about James "Hoss" Cartwright was broken. The working link, here.
When it comes to restoring discipline within the Marine Corps, Jim Amos is getting serious. Within hours of a brass briefing at Quantico this week in which Marine Commandant Gen. Jim Amos outlined a variety of measures to bring discipline back to a Corps that has been deployed for more than a decade, Marine Corps Times got a hold of the briefing slides. MCT's Dan Lamothe: "[The plan] calls for a variety of new initiatives, including the installation of security cameras in each barracks, the incorporation of more staff noncommissioned officers and officers on duty, and the arming of all Marines on duty at all times, according to briefing slides from the commandant's address... The plan stretches well beyond improving safety, however. Amos' briefing slides say that while the Corps has been successful fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, 'we are now seeing signs that are our institutional fabric is fraying.' He cites sexual assault, hazing, drunken driving, fraternization and failure to maintain personal appearance standards among his concerns. 'We have a behavioral problem within the Corps - a small, but not insignificant, number of our Marines are not living up to our ethos and core values," one of Amos' slides says. "They are hurting themselves, their fellow Marines, civilians, and damaging our reputation.' The commandant's plan calls for a number of 'immediate' changes, some of which are unlikely to be popular with Marines."
But 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade Brig. Gen. Paul Kennedy told Situation Report this morning that Amos' push to re-instill discipline in the Corps is the right response to a growing concern. "The Commandant was reacting to the demand signal from the operating forces that we needed to get the Marine Corps back to its historical roots of a disciplined force," Kennedy said in a phone interview. "Just because we're combat veterans, we haven't ceded authority in garrison to the least experienced members of the Marine Corps, i.e., privates and lance corporals." There has been a concerning growth of fights, sexual assaults, alcohol abuse and other bad behavior as Marines transition from the battlefield. Amos, Kennedy said, is trying to nip it in the bud. Although Amos has been talking about these issues for awhile, the plan unveiled this week gets into particulars. The problem, Kennedy said, can't be ignored. "It is ubiquitous, it is across the entire force," Kennedy said, adding that there is a direct relationship between discipline "in garrison" - at home bases and stations as opposed to deployment zones - and discipline and performance in battle. "People made false assumptions about performance in combat and that that was the only thing that counted." Kennedy cited three cases this week in which a more senior Marine within his command intervened among individuals to avert a bigger problem. "If we are more present in the lives of our junior guys, then we can probably help lead them, guide them, intervene and prevent them from making bad decisions," Kennedy said. Marine Corps Times' story - and the list of Amos' initiatives, here.
Whoa: The NSA spied on senators. Writing on FP, Matthew Aid and William Burr: As Vietnam War protests grew, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) tapped the overseas communications of prominent American critics of the war -- including a pair of sitting U.S. senators. That's according to a recently declassified NSA history, which called the effort "disreputable if not outright illegal.' For years the names of the surveillance targets were kept secret. But after a decision by the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel, in response to an appeal by the National Security Archive at George Washington University, the NSA has declassified them for the first time. The names of the NSA's targets are eye-popping. Civil rights leaders Martin Luther King and Whitney Young were on the watch list, as were the boxer Muhammad Ali, New York Times journalist Tom Wicker, and veteran Washington Post humor columnist Art Buchwald. But perhaps the most startling fact in the declassified document is that the NSA was tasked with monitoring the overseas telephone calls and cable traffic of two prominent members of Congress, Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho) and Sen. Howard Baker (R-Tenn.). As shocking as the recent revelations about the NSA's domestic eavesdropping have been, there has been no evidence so far of today's signal intelligence corps taking a step like this, to monitor the White House's political enemies."

The DOD Inspector General did a report on the JSF: not good. Bloomberg's Tony Capaccio: "The Pentagon's inspector general has flagged hundreds of deficiencies and corrective actions needed for Lockheed Martin Corp.'s F-35 fighter, the military's costliest program. The watchdog office's 'quality assessment' outlines what it calls ineffective management by Pentagon oversight personnel and insufficient attention to quality assurance in the design and manufacturing phases of the $391.2 billion F-35 program, according to a summary obtained by Bloomberg News. The full report may be issued as soon as Sept. 30. Since May 2012, the inspector general has been reviewing adherence to quality assurance standards by Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed and five subcontractors: Northrop Grumman Corp., BAE Systems Plc, L-3 Communications Holdings Inc., Honeywell International Inc. and United Technologies Corp. The inspector general's audit said the F-35 program office should modify its contracts to "include a quality escape clause, to ensure the government does not pay for nonconforming product," according to the summary. Lockheed and the subcontractors are taking specific steps to respond to 343 findings and recommended corrective actions, the summary said, without disclosing the nature of the failings found." More here.
Eric Fanning, don't go anywhere: Ayotte placed a hold on Deborah Lee James' nomination to be Air Force Secretary. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, the Republican from New Hampshire, is blocking the confirmation of James until Ayotte gets her questions answered regarding potential cuts to the A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft. That means Under Secretary of the Air Force Eric Fanning - now in the Acting role as Secretary - will have to stay in that dual-hatted role a bit longer. Defense News' Aaron Mehta and John Bennett, quoting an Ayotte aide: "She (as ranking member of the readiness subcommittee) views this as a readiness issue. Until we have a replacement for the A-10, why would the [Air Force] try to eliminate it? She isn't necessarily saying we must retain the A-10, but wants to ensure there isn't a capability gap that could result in lost American lives."
Ayotte's husband Joe is a former A-10 pilot: "What makes me concerned is that there already has been a decision made on the A-10 and as you and I talked about in our meeting, the A-10 has a very important function in terms of close-air support and in fact, most recently in July, 60 soldiers were saved in Afghanistan because of the important close-air support provided by the A-10," DN quoted Ayotte as saying. More of that story here.
Laaate? Will Chuck Hagel's sexual assault panel be effective? Politico's Darren Samuelsohn: "Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is soliciting advice on what else he can do to stop sexual assault in the ranks by turning to a panel of experts from outside the Pentagon.
"But there's a big catch: The nine-person committee he has chartered to study the issue doesn't plan to release any recommendations until several months after the Senate votes on the key question of whether to remove the chain of command from major criminal prosecutions... Holly O'Grady Cook, a retired Army colonel picked for the panel by House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), said she won't be "distracted by the Congress's timeline and our timeline."
"It's just a question of getting the information we need," O'Grady Cook told POLITICO... and [Pentagon spokesman] Todd Breasseale also downplayed the scheduling gap. 'Any time an independent panel is empowered in the public light to contemplate issues the department faces and then offer unvarnished recommendations to the secretary, it's a good thing,' he said. 'No one believes the work of these panels is for naught, regardless of the issue or timing.'" Read it here.
How are civ-mil relations going? Not so well: FP's Micah Zenko: "Every administration has its share of disputes with the Pentagon, but when it comes to where and how U.S. armed forces will be used, civil-military relations have not been this tense and precarious since the end of the Cold War. Military officers are increasingly willing to express their personal opinions about interventions, while civilian policymakers are increasingly willing to disregard professional military advice. Worse, a growing number of individuals from both "sides" seem unaware of the appropriate civilian and military roles and relationships, and their conflicts play out in public more prominently and immediately than ever before." Read the rest here.
So this happened: Josh Rogin got socked. Somehow, former The Cable boss Josh Rogin of FP, now of the Daily Beast, got punched by a comedian after making fun of his set at D.C.'s Funniest Celebrity contest. Rogin attended the event and was Tweeting about professional comedian Dan Nainan's act. U.S. News' Washington Whispers: "'Dan Nainan was funny until he dusted off his 2005 Katrina jokes in a gratingly bad [George W. Bush] impression,' Rogin wrote. 'Dan Nainan makes his umpteenth joke about how Asians [can't] distinguish between letters 'L' and 'R.' Election, erection we get it,' Rogin added. Nainan then approached Rogin, who was sitting at the back of the DC Improv comedy club and punched him. 'Dan Nainan comes over to me and says, 'Are you Josh Rogin,' and I said yes and then he punched me in the jaw, then he pushed me, then he walked away and about 10 seconds later he came over and punched me again,' Rogin told Whispers directly after the fight. (Whispers was also an eyewitness to the incident.)...Nainan was unavailable for comment about what provoked the incident, as he was being led out of the venue by D.C. Police in handcuffs."

I have been on a fiction binge recently, and just tore through Phillip Roth's The Human Stain (2000 PEN/Faulkner Award Winner). It's a great piece of writing on almost every level– I can't recommend it highly enough. Roth masterfully balances intimate character details with broad social commentary in a way that is never heavy handed nor leaves a detail out of place.
But enough about literature, that's probably not why you're here.
I brought Roth to HoopSpeak because one of the novel's primary themes—America's particular penchant for persecution of social impropriety—resonated with me in light of the current LeBron uproar. In The Human Stain, the social backdrop is the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. But the moralistic chirping by Lebron-haters on the street, on TV and online is a bit much.
Here is a passage that sums up my thoughts on the outrage over LeBron's handling of his free agency.
As Roth describes our consciousness in the current day (my edits in brackets).:
A century of destruction unlike any other in its extremity befalls and blights the human race—scores of millions of ordinary people condemned to suffer deprivation upon deprivation, atrocity upon atrocity, evil upon evil, half the world or more subjected to pathological sadism as social policy, whole societies organized and fettered by the fear of violent persecution, the degradation of individual life engineered on a scale unknown throughout human history, nations broken and enslaved by ideological criminals who rob them of everything, entire populations so demoralized as to be unable to get out of bed in the morning with the minutest desire to face the day . . . all the terrible touchstones presented by this century, and here they are up in arms about [LeBron James]. Here in America either it's [LeBron James] or it's [Lindsay Lohan]! The luxury of these lives disquieted so by the inappropriate comportment of [James] and [Lohan]! This, in [2010], is the wickedness they have to put up with. This, in [2010], is their torture, their torment, and their spiritual death.
Roth's point, almost violently made above, is that there are evils in this world that demand our outrage. Evils that are polluting our coastlines, murdering men by the hundreds each day.
Of course the attention that LeBron garners in the sports world should inspire an appropriate level of disgust or dismay by writers and fans around the country. He is a big deal. But you know what the much bigger deal is when it comes to LeBron's move to Miami?
That he's playing with Wade and Bosh! Can we pause to reflect that many NBA fans will be seeing the best pairing of talent perhaps EVER. It's something positive! Something to be celebrated!
We are going to be lucky enough to watch the two greatest players in basketball play together at the height of their powers. The both have excellent vision and team-instincts. They both are high flying, energy producing, tough as nails competitors.
LeBron may have handled things poorly, but me made the right decision, especially for NBA fans.
Well, unless you live in Cleveland.

U.K. Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton has bought Prince's gold Stratocaster guitar at auction for £61,100 ($100,000), the enigmatic musician revealed in a rare television appearance on Wednesday night, April 13.
As a guest on U.S. cable channel TBS's Lopez Tonight that evening, Prince discussed his recent auction to raise funds for various arts, education and environmental charities. He acknowledged that he has recently raised $2 million and revealed that "brother Lewis Hamilton, the racing car driver" had placed the winning bid for the guitar.
Prince had the unusual instrument—an all-gold Fender Stratocaster—with him in the studio as he chatted with host George Lopez. Cradling the instrument on camera, His Royal Badness grinned and told the audience, "It's gonna be hard to part with this."
Hamilton, who races for England's McLaren team, was the 2008 Formula One world champion.

Ogier Legal advises on acquisition of MREF II's interest in Logistics Property Partnership
Related fund data links
Ogier Legal in Jersey has acted for Moorfield Real Estate Fund II (MREF II) and SEGRO in relation to SEGRO's acquisition of the 50 per cent interest in the Logistics Property Partnership joint venture previously owned by MREF II for GBP95.6 million.
The Logistics Property Partnership was established in January 2012 by MREF II and SEGRO as a 50-50 joint venture to acquire the UK Logistics Fund and was jointly managed by the Moorfield Group and SEGRO.
The Moorfield Group is a UK real estate and real estate related private equity fund manager and SEGRO is a leading owner, asset manager and developer of modern warehousing, light industrial and data centre properties.
The Logistics Property Partnership (formerly the UK Logistics Fund) portfolio comprises 12 high quality logistics warehouses totalling 377,000 sq m, predominantly located in the South East and Midlands, and occupiers include major retailers and logistics providers including Sainsbury's, Tesco, Booker, Royal Mail and DHL. The portfolio is fully let and currently generates annualised net rent of GBP19.1 million.
Katrina Edge, Ogier partner acting for MREF II, says: "Having acted for MREF II and SEGRO in connection with their acquisition of the Logistics Property Partnership, we were pleased to act again on this transaction, the value of which demonstrates the success the MREF II / SEGRO partnership has achieved with this logistics portfolio."
The Ogier Legal team acting for MREF II (with Herbert Smith Freehills as English legal advisers) was led by partner Katrina Edge with support from associate Jennifer Grigg.
The Ogier Legal team acting for SEGRO (with Eversheds as English legal advisers) was led by partner Chris Byrne and managing associate Bruce MacNeil with support from associate Gemma Hardcastle.
Jersey administration services in respect of the Logistics Property Partnership were provided by the real estate team of Ogier Fiduciary Services.

They did go through some changes in the past 2 years or so. This is probably due to the economy climate. I think they lost many students for their parents losing their jobs. Now they seem all set and settled with new set of teachers and staffs along with some old faces. My daughter loves it there very much. My older daughter loved it there, too.
This Kindercare has gone down hill in the last 2 years. Big corporations only care about money and nothing else. I would strongly look elsewhere before you put your paycheck in here. Facility Manager is great but she doesn't have the power to change things. All the good teachers are gone too.

Officials in a New Jersey shore town might use goats from Maryland to rid an environmentally-sensitive area of poison ivy.
Seaside Park can't burn the toxic plant or use chemicals because the patch overlooks Barnegat Bay. The town is considering an alternative.
Officials believe it would cost between $15,000 and $20,000 to use nature's weed eaters.
Councilman Michael Tierney tells the Asbury Park Press the cost includes two handlers who come from Maryland to watch over the 15 to 18 goats.
Dawn Yurkiewicz of Stratford Farm in Whiteford, Md., tells the newspaper it might take the entire herd up to three weeks to eat all the poison ivy.
New Jersey environmental officials are worried the goats might also eat rare plants along the bay.

Pneumonia Infections
Pneumonia results from infection with a robust microbe, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, that overcome your immune system's defenses and cause you to develop symptoms which mimic those of influenza. Once one of these microbes gains access to your lungs and multiples to a level which causes illness, you will begin to feel symptoms of the infection. The antecedent symptoms of pneumonia include fever and coughing.
Pneumonia Symptoms
Once the symptoms of fever and coughing are present, the ensuing symptoms of pneumonia make the infection easily identifiable to physicians. Advanced symptoms of pneumonia infection include difficulty in drawing sufficient breath, sweating, shaking chills, headache, fatigue, persistent muscle ache and chest pain that fluctuates with breathing. The cough may produce phlegm and be accompanied by discomfort that lingers or worsens upon deep breaths. If the strain of bacteria, virus or fungus is particularly virulent or your illness is complicated by co-morbid conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, diabetes or asthma, the severity of symptoms may advance into sepsis, bacteremia, pleural effusion, septic shock, empyema, abscessed lung or acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Duration of Symptoms
The duration of pneumonia symptoms has several co-factors which include age, overall health, co-morbid conditions, cause of the infection and lifestyle behaviors. In otherwise healthy children, fever and other symptoms begin resolution within two days of onset. Symptoms of pneumonia in adults usually take three days to dissipate. People with chronic health deficiencies or severe symptoms may experience symptoms that last for weeks and require hospitalization to abate.

Judge rejects Maury Island gravel-mine permit
A federal judge has thrown out a permit that would have allowed a gravel mining company to get back to work next week building a controversial 305-foot dock on Maury Island.
Seattle Times environment reporter
The metal supports had been fabricated. The contractors were on standby. And angry island neighbors were ready to chain themselves to construction cranes or block incoming barges with a rainbow-colored array of boats and kayaks.
But days before a gravel mining company was set to resume building a controversial 305-foot dock in an aquatic reserve on Maury Island, a federal judge late Thursday tossed out the company's permits.
After 11 years of political and legal wrangling, U.S. District Court Judge Ricardo Martinez ruled the Army Corps of Engineers erred by not thoroughly assessing how noise and shading from construction and operation of the pier might harm Puget Sound's chinook salmon and orcas, which are protected by the Endangered Species Act.
By ordering a longer, more stringent review, the judge ensured it would be at least a year, more likely several, before the project would be built — if ever.
In so doing, both sides agreed, the judge also appears to have set the stage for stricter environmental review on future construction that affects the Sound's sensitive nearshore environment.
It's no longer good enough, Martinez ruled, to merely consider how building a single dock may harm the Sound. The federal government must do a better job evaluating the cumulative impact of hundreds of small changes to the region's signature waterway.
"Which raindrop caused the flood?" Martinez wrote in his ruling. "No single project or human activity has caused depletion of the salmon runs or the near-extinction of the SR [southern resident]orca, or the general degradation of the marine environment of Puget Sound. Yet every project has the potential to incrementally increase the burden upon the species and the Sound."
The permits would have allowed Glacier Northwest to erect a pier it planned to use to pipe fine sands over the water to barges and ship them to processing plants and concrete customers. Neighbors, complained the project would disrupt herring and harm important kelp and eelgrass beds that provide a nursery for juvenile salmon.
Disappointment, elation
"I am overjoyed," said Amy Carey, president of Preserve Our Islands, a community group created to fight the project. "We have been arguing for 10 years that they were ignoring the science and failing in their duty to protect endangered species. It's incredibly validating to have a federal judge echo our sentiments and find in our favor on every front."
Company spokesman Pete Stoltz said Glacier would participate in whatever additional analysis was required. But Stoltz could not mask his disappointment.
"We've been planning on being able to use this sand into the future," he said. "Now we have to haul more sand with trucks. We have to go longer distances. That means more money and more impacts on everybody."
He said the judge's ruling could impact the way the government permits everything from seawall construction to marina work up and down Puget Sound. "There are activities conducted as part of our project that are included in basically every in-water construction project in Puget Sound," he said.
Bridget Moran, deputy supervisor for aquatics with the Department of Natural Resources, agreed that the judge referred to the "death-by-a-thousand-cuts problem. To me that's the message. The sum of all of our actions good or bad will decide how Puget Sound will be in the next 20, 50, or 100 years."
Dave Mann, attorney representing residents of Maury and Vashon islands, said that is precisely why people have been fighting the project.
"I hope this signals a change in the way we're going to approach these projects in the future," Mann said. "The way we've been doing it is obviously wrong. We've got endangered fish, endangered whales and a troubled Sound. To my mind, this is one of the first opinions that ... understands what's at stake."
Protest to victory party
Glacier Northwest has been planning for years to mine gravel from a 155-acre mine the company or its predecessors have owned since the 1930s. The project has been through many lengthy reviews and in and out of court for years, but the year leading up to construction of the dock had been particularly rife with turmoil.
Last year, the company gave $50,000 to a political action committee that supported former Republican State Lands Commissioner Doug Sutherland's re-election bid. Sutherland lost, but signed a lease for the project days before leaving office. His successor, Democrat Peter Goldmark, who's campaigned on a promise to try and stop the project, immediately announced plans to more thoroughly scrutinize the lease. In early July, he ordered the company to do no work until it could prove to him Puget Sound would see no harm. Earlier this week, the company responded with a 17-page letter — and a promise that it still planned to start work next week.
Now, the project is on indefinite hold, and a protest scheduled for Saturday on Maury Island instead will become a victory party.
"It's hard to believe that it's actually over — at least for a year or more," said Bill Moyer, who was organizing the protest.

Lunar orbiter beams back first Moon snaps
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has beamed back its first snaps of the Moon - images from the Mare Nubium region captured by the spacecraft's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, aka LROC: LRO image from the Mare Nubium region. Pic: NASA LROC Principal Investigator Mark Robinson of Arizona State University explained …
Fake shmake
Even if they find footprints, the conspiracy idiots will say they were created by special NASA robots - a bit like the chap in the first Wallace & Gromit feature...
Or maybe these new pictures are fakes too, taken in a subterranean bunker somewhere on an airforce base in Arizona...
Probably won't be able to see the landers
Resolution: 1 metre. Size of the Apollo Lander: four metres across. So theoretically possible, but the best you're going to get is a few fuzzy pixels of a slightly different colour to the rest of the surface. And since the images are in b/w, even harder to distinguish.
So we might get images of the landers, but they won't be good enough to be sure that's it's actually them. Shame really.
Anyway, nothing will satisfy the conspiracy nuts, they'll claim any images are faked anyway.
Loon-ar conspiracy
"This, of course, comes as welcome news to those of us eagerly awaiting snaps of the Apollo 11 landing site, which will finally reveal whether Aldrin and Armstrong ever really set foot on the Moon"
Not really, the key is the fact they've only got a calendar that will resolve to 1 metre. Unless they've got massive footprints, there will still be enough for the "we believe they sent robots there, but not people" nuts to cling to.
All they've done is added to the conspiracy:
"Why did they only equip it with a camera capable of such low resolution - what don't you want us to see NASA!!"
Mine's the one wrapped in tinfoil... Ta
Too late to 'fess up?!
"This, of course, comes as welcome news to those of us eagerly awaiting snaps of the Apollo 11 landing site, which will finally reveal whether Aldrin and Armstrong ever really set foot on the Moon."
Yeah, 'cos like if they can fake a whole series of lunar expeditions they can't knock up a doctored photo of the surface to keep the pretence going...?! :-)
More trickery!
"those of us eagerly awaiting snaps of the Apollo 11 landing site, which will finally reveal whether Aldrin and Armstrong ever really set foot on the Moon"
Duh? If they can fake all six Apollo landings with 60s/70s technology how difficult will it be to use 2009 technology to fake photos from the Lunar Orbiter to show the landing sites?
Landing site
Let's be clear about this, images of the Apollo 11/etc. landing sites will *not* quash conspiracy theories. Anyone willing to believe a conspiracy spanning four decades and involving several hundred thousand NASA employees isn't going to be swayed by some nifty snaps of "Buz woz here, summer '69" written on the surface of the Moon. These are digital images after all, and I dare say the Conspir-o-Loonies will be quick to point out that the World Government could buy many hundreds of Photoshop licenses to less than the price of a single black helicopter.
Politically correct units
I'm sure it would have been safe to edit NASA's prose to remove the unneccesarily distracting imperial conversion of metric measurements. And while you were at it, you could have corrected their spelling of the word metre (although your comment box spell checker also gets it wrong).
Conspiracy theories
I doubt the people believing in the "Moon hoax" will be satisfied with new pictures. For conspiracy theorists, any evidence against their theory is just part of the conspiracy.
Moon Landings
Anyone believing the moon landings were fake is an utter moron, and hopefully we will have proof in a few days (not that any more proof needs to be waved in the idiots' faces).
On the other hand, the conspiracy morons will only claimed the photos were doctored or something.
Apollo 11 landing site
They'll just fake it up won't they?
Is that him saying Ooo?
And I don`t want to know what that is half way down on the left.
Landing site...
It will be photoshopped... Not that I'm a cynic at all... No...
which will finally reveal whether Aldrin and Armstrong ever really set foot on the Moon
They will still say it's fake (and that they can tell because the shadows are wrong) same as always.
Oh Yeah??
"which will finally reveal whether Aldrin and Armstrong ever really set foot on the Moon."
Ever heard of Photoshop??
I'd only belive them
If the Russians had a separate satellite with photos that matched!
Back in 1990
I also recall the US claiming satellite evidence of arms movements in breach of a cease fire in Bosnia that was contradicted by the Dutch commander located in the area.
The American government has consistently lied when it comes to information that it believes it has a monopoly over, so if they do provide images I wouldn't consider it to be conclusive proof.
Victor Meldrew would be proud...
"This, of course, comes as welcome news to those of us eagerly awaiting snaps of the Apollo 11 landing site, which will finally reveal whether Aldrin and Armstrong ever really set foot on the Moon"
Why would the tin-foil hat wearing lunatics who still don't believe we landed on the moon despite the vast array of evidence believe that these pictures are any more legit??
Golf, anyone?
Looks like a nice - exclusive - golf course. The green (cheese) needs a bit of watering and a trim, but the rough looks interesting enough.
Can we get Alan Shepard to pop back and have another round?* After all, he had a golf buggy, PLUS a suited and booted caddie. Unfortunately both were replete of the obligatory Rupert Bear trousers - but they did have the silly shoes that golfers seem to need.
Remembering, of course that the '19th hole' is the LEM.
But then again, I've no sense of the scale of those holes. Imagine if Armstrong'd popped Apollo 11 into one. Like I said in a previous post, they're far, far braver buggers than me. I shi*t myself on a stepladder.
* Nah. He pitched his 9-iron into the Final Bunker in July 1998. Fantastic life, though.
They look quite similar to the pictures they used when they faked the moon landings....
i for one...
...demand a PlayMobile reconstruction of the orignal Capricorn One project... i mean the original moon landing
Don't slate the conspiracy nuts.
The world would be a duller place if they all went 'Oh, look at that, we did walk on the Moon. Wow, I appear to have wasted a siginificant portion of my life. I suppose I ought to get on and get a hobby that's a bit less mental.'
Every loon we lose, is one less person to make us smile (or to laugh at depending on how cruel you're feeling).
Is there anyone out there in the Reg comment wasteland that used to believe the conspiracy theory but now doesn't?
Hehehe - can you imagine what you could DO with a driver on the moon? I reckon you'd send a standard golf ball into orbit... and the ball off your pitching wedge would probably come back a week or so later...
A load of Schmidt
As Harrison Schmidt (Apollo 17) put it, 'To those who believe the moon landings were faked: Why fake it six times?'
Never heard of them
Who are all these so-called conspiracy theorists anyhow, are you sure they exist - I've never met anyone who didn't believe there were manned moon landings anyhow.
AND the TV coverage at the time was presented by (Sir!) Patrick Moore and James Burke, and you can't get much better than that.
Chinese cameras
They'll be higher resolution, smaller, cheaper etc.....
Wouldn't it be great if they released photos of the moon that they photoshopped to remove any evidence of a moon landing, or (even funnier) flew there and burried all the evidence, If I was in the chinese government that's what I'd do, after all it's going to be the biggest economy, so much so that reserve capital of the world will no longer be dollars by 2030, why not rewrite a bit of history, land some men on the moon (America is no longer capable), get rid of any previous evidence and then claim they were first (hehe....)
The Truth
The truth is, both sides of the moon landing conspiricy are right,
They did land on the Moon but they also shot fake footage of the landing as a backup.
The USA could not risk being beaten to the Moon by Russia, in the event that the moon landing mission failed they would show the faked footage and when the orbiter didnt make it back to earth they could make up anything they wanted.
Either way the fact would remain that the US made it onto and then back from the moon First!
The problems started when they actually used some of the FAKE footage during the mission to the moon because the REAL images were not of good enough quality for public viewing.
There is still some questions about who reached the moon first, there is evidence that Russia managed to Oribt the moon first but the mission failed as the astronought did not survive re-entry.
The truth is out there and very boring!
I think all the conspiracy theorists have been faked...
Everything is real except the conspiracy nuts---who are paid well by the government to be pedants to deflect the focus from real-world problems. It's a government conspir...
Oh wait... never mind.
'suggesting a craggy and inhospitable surface'
With no atmosphere and a - 233C to +123C temperature variation I think it's more than 'suggesting' it's inhospitable.
LROC resolution
Is 50cm per pixel (http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/EPO/LROC/lroc.php?pg=specifications)
And the LMs won't be slightly different from the surface, they will be blindingly different - the lunar surface is very dark, they are covered in reflective mylar; they will also be casting shadows. Depending on the angle of the Sun it should also be reasonably easy to see the trails left by the lunar rovers and hopefully also by the Soviet Lunokhods.
Whether we can find Al Shepard's Apollo 14 golf ball is another question.
Already covered by the lunatics
One of the conspiracy nuts has already said there is no evidence that could make him change his mind (now THERE'S scientific rigour for you). He said even if they found landers, they must have been sent on later when technology allowed.
That's the joy of these idiots: give them a bit of damning evidence and all they have to do is invent a way to fake it so it's part of the conspiracy. There is literally no way to convince them.
What sad little lives they must lead.
Not quite
"I reckon you'd send a standard golf ball into orbit." - well with 'g' on the moon being 1/6 that on Earth, you would require to get it to 1/6 Earth orbital velocity, around 1 km/sec (depending on the orbit) - can you hit a ball that fast ?
If you look carefully
you can see a kangaroo
I see The Register has bought into the transparently fake "lunar probe" hoax NASA is perpetrating.
The photo shown is obviously that of a badly lit model constructed from plaster laid over plaster bandage supported on a chicken wire armature, probably housed in the otherwise empty Fab Building at the Kennedy Space Center. Why else would they need a huge warehouse with no windows if not to fake space photography? Where do you think all those "miraculous" Hubble Space telescope pictures came from?
Everyone knows that rockets can't work in space because there's no air for them to push against.
I for one, am NOT impressed!
First, for all you "Lunar conspiracy looneys"... ODFO. It's old, it's asinine, and nobody cares.
Second, You can find the same release, nearly word for word, in any public library's archives, FROM 1962!
Think about it, nearly half a decade later, and we're back to square one as far as manned spaceflight is concerned!
By the late 1970s, we had the capability, we had the plans, we were building the spaceship to Mars... and scrapped the whole thing! Since then, it's been unmanned probes only past LEO, with humans frittering away their time in a can that only served as a destination for Soyuz and the occasional shuttle. What happened? Did our alien overlords post "No trespassing" signs? If so, I for one do NOT welcome them, and will lead the resistance when they invade.
Flames, because this missive'll probably qualify me for FOTW.
@Colin MacLean
"As Harrison Schmidt (Apollo 17) put it, 'To those who believe the moon landings were faked: Why fake it six times?'"
Apollo program Taxpayer Bill - Cost of faking the Apollo program = $PROFIT!
Re: I for one, am NOT impressed!
"By the late 1970s, we had the capability, we had the plans, we were building the spaceship to Mars... and scrapped the whole thing!"
If this is indeed true, the ridiculous cost of doing so killed it.
"And while you were at it, you could have corrected their spelling of the word metre (although your comment box spell checker also gets it wrong)."
Actually, the first I'd do is get you to download the en-GB dictionary for FireFox (I assume you use FF) since FF is the one doing the spell-checking on the comment boxes. Said box (should you care to check the Page Source using Ctrl+U) is a simple TextArea form element, with no associated scripts.

Summary: It might lack the buzz of the Z10 and the glamour of the Q10, but BlackBerry's latest handset could be its most important yet.
6 of 7Image
Your attitude towards physical keyboards will determine your response to BlackBerry's Q5.
Qwerty is distinctly a minority interest now — apart from BlackBerry's handsets, devices with such keyboards are few and far between, partly because soft keyboards are so good now (SwiftKey for example has plenty of fans) and because all those keys take up space that most people think would be better used for the screen.
Still, the keyboard itself is well designed and the variously bevelled keys make typing easy and fast, although I didn't especially like the feel of the plastic body in my hand. But if you're convinced of the need for a hard keyboard, then you'll be unwilling to put up with the serious compromise you have to make on screen size.
The touchscreen is bright, crisp and responsive, but so small it means it's unlikely to be a preferred device for regularly consuming media: it's one for absorbing information quickly, and not lingering too long. The look of web pages is adequate, but videos are frustrating small on the square screen.
Still, the software is responsive and easy for a non-BlackBerry devotee to master, and is more impressive than the anonymous hardware that contains it.
In some respects, the continued presence of the Qwerty is at odds with some of the smarter elements of BlackBerry 10's user interface — I found that swapping the home button with an upward swipe mades sense pretty quickly, as did Peek.
The Peek functionality (seen above) in particular makes for some elegant multitasking in here — I was impressed by being able to take a look at my email while continuing to stream a video from the BBC website, for example.
Other software such as Docs to Go is handy for a business audience and easy to use, but the number of apps available remains somewhat limited, and remians a broader issue around attracting developers to BlackBerry's ecosystem.
The predictive text system works very nicely, and the option to "clear learnt words" is also a nice touch that could save you from an embarrassing damn-you-autocorrect moment, too.
It's hard not to turn any discussion of one of BlackBerry's handsets into a verdict on the company, but right now every handset is now vital for it.
From a cost point of view, at £320 SIM-free in the UK or £21 per month on contract, the Q5 is cheaper than a Samsung Galaxy S4 or the iPhone 4S or 5 (but more than the iPhone 4). But it's not that much cheaper than the Q10 (£29 per month or £479 for the handset alone).
You might think that the rising flood of bring your own device has made business-first handsets an endangered species by eradicating their traditional habitat.
But there is a chunk of the enterprise market looking to buy a fleet of no-nonsense, sturdy handsets that are to manage and secure, and which fits in with their existing infrastructure.
As such, the Q5 may find a home with these organisations where workers require fast and accurate data input (perhaps an engineer filling in a form) rather than a desperate need for big-screen funny cat videos.
The Q5 isn't likely to wow anyone, but that's perhaps not the point. The Z10 is BlackBerry's wow-touchscreen handset, and the Q10 it's wow-Qwerty counterpart.
But the Q5 could be more important than either as it's just the sort of workhorse that BlackBerry needs its enterprise customers to deploy in major quantities, especially those filled with nostalgia for the days when Qwerty ruled. It's perhaps not the most exciting niche to fill in the tech world, but it could be vital one for BlackBerry.

Tilda Swinton transcends Hollywood
I've always thought Tilda
Swinton was a fascinating woman, but ever since the Oscars, I've upgraded her to amazing. While
the fashionistas ripped her makeup-free face and Hefty-bag chic, I though
she was one of the most striking women on the red carpet (OK, fine,
the trash bag was weird, but she still managed to almost pull it off).
That blaze of red hair and those porcelain angles make it nearly impossible
not to stop and stare. And have I mentioned the suits?
Tilda graces the cover of Out magazine's
April "Transgender Issue."
While the Oscar-winning actress isn't trans, she does delightfully
blur the boundaries with her style, attitude and roles. Anyone who saw
her in 1992's avant garde epic Orlando knows she can gender-bend
with the best of them. Also, sweet fancy Moses, does she ever look good
in a suit.
And what's great about
Tilda is that the more I read about her, the more amazing she becomes.
Like, what did she want to eat during her Out interview? Mashed
potatoes or "anything I can eat with a teaspoon, basically. I'm
not really up to a fork." How delightfully weird. But there's nothing
weird about Tilda's take on making art.
"I've never been
comfortable calling myself an actress or an actor. It sounds pretentious
to say, but it's actually me trying not to be pretentious.
I just don't know how to act, particularly. I think of myself more
as an artist's model than anything."
That self-analysis may be one
of the best descriptions of her I've ever read. Throughout her career,
Tilda has tended to make art, and not necessarily entertainment. Her
films are sometimes difficult to watch, sometimes bordering on awful.
But she has this way of turning herself into a canvas where the character
paints itself with bright, vibrant tones.
While some of the tabloids
recently tittered about her unconventional living arrangements, Tilda
saw no reason to hide her relationships. She lives with her long-time
artist husband, John Byrne, and went to the Oscars and other public
events recently with her younger lover and fellow artist Sandro Kopp.
How did she explain her relationships? "We ostensibly live in the
same house, but I travel the world with another delightful painter."
Now that's how you defuse gossip.
In an industry that champions
set gender roles, the fact that as androgynous an actress as Tilda has been able
to work and thrive is pretty amazing in and of itself. She told Out that her inherent
outsider status is one of the reasons she fees so connected to the gay community:
"I think there is
something very specific about a community of people who have by very
virtue of their sexuality had to be self-determining, that early realization,
that early decision, all the feelings of loneliness, all the feelings
of pride -— all of that is my home. There are things that … I take from
my background with great gratitude — things like a love of nature,
the idea of social responsibility, good manners, etc. — but I had to
make a departure very, very early, and maybe that's the real key to
why I feel very much at home in the gay community."
Like I said, amazing.

SATURDAY, Nov. 30, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- The cold, dry air of winter can deplete your skin of moisture and cause "winter itch."
But you can take steps to protect your skin and prevent that itchy feeling, according to Dr. Robyn Gmyrek, a dermatologist and director of the Skin and Laser Center at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center.
Moisturize daily with petrolatum- or cream-based moisturizers, Gmyrek said. Apply them directly to your wet skin after a bath or shower so that the moisturizer can help trap surface moisture. For sensitive skin, choose a moisturizer without fragrance or lanolin.
Clean your skin, but don't overdo. Too much cleansing depletes the skin's natural moisturizers, Gmyrek explained. Washing your face, hands, feet and between the folds of your skin once a day is enough. You can rinse your trunk, arms and legs daily, but you don't have to use soap or cleanser on these areas every day.
Limit your use of hot water and soap. If you do have winter itch, take short, lukewarm showers or baths with a cleanser that is non-irritating and non-detergent-based. Apply a thick cream or a petroleum-jelly-type moisturizer right away, and then gently pat skin dry, Gmyrek said.
Room humidifiers can help prevent indoor air from becoming too dry, she added. When you're outside, protect your skin from wind, extreme cold and sun. Don't use tanning beds or artificial sunlamps, which can damage your skin and increase your risk of skin cancer.
See a dermatologist if you have persistent dry skin, scaling, itching or skin growths that concern you. This applies throughout the year, not just during winter, Gmyrek said.

It's true that celebrities have more motivation than most to stay in shape (it's part of their job to look good, after all), but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't steal a few of their tips and tricks for ourselves.
Jennifer Hudson's body transformation has been nothing short of miraculous, thanks in large part to Weight Watchers, but the singer/actress doesn't rely on calorie counting alone. J-Hud does interval training at her home gym with trainer Harley Pasternak to keep her muscles long and lean.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A private funeral service in New York is being planned for Friday for the family and close friends of the late actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Hoffman's publicist, Karen Samfilippo, said Wednesday that plans were also underway for a memorial service later this month, also in New York.
She said that in lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Hoffman's name to two charities -- The DreamYard Project and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
Police are investigating the actor's death as a suspected drug overdose. Law enforcement officials say that Hoffman was found Sunday with a needle in his arm and that tests found heroin in samples from at least 50 packets in his Manhattan apartment.

GNIEWINO, Poland (AP) - A Spanish fruit company hopes its delicious melons will help energize Spain's European Championship bid following its opening draw against Italy.
A truck filled with the fruit was delivered to the World Cup champions' training base in northern Poland, with the team having already enjoyed the "frog-skinned" melons for breakfast Tuesday morning. Frog skin refers to the color of the fruit.
Spanish sports daily AS organized the 1,865-mile delivery from El Monarca, which is based in Murcia, Spain.
Spain's bid to become the first team to win three straight major titles continues Thursday against Group C rival Ireland.

God of War 2 question
I was reading online that if you finished the game on the highest difficulty level, titan, i think it was, you unlock and get to play as hercules.
Is this true? Did anyone play as hercules? Was it a character with separate story,moves and weapons or just Kratos in a separate costume?
Re: God of War 2 question
Just a separate costume, higher damage but lower armor. Story is the same. Game should of been GOTY
Re: God of War 2 question
Same moves and same weapons?
Re: God of War 2 question
Yeah I believe it was identical. There was more costumes than just Hercules I believe. It didn't look anything like the Hercules from GoW 3

Fine-tuning ENIAC
J. Presper Eckert (the man in the foreground turning a knob) served and John Mauchly (center) designed ENIAC to calculate the trajectory of artillery shells. The machine didn't debut until February 1946, after the end of World War II, but it did launch the computer revolution.
ENIAC room
ENIAC contained nearly 18,000 vacuum tubes and filled a 1,500-square-foot room. To program it, different accumulators had to be wired to each other.
