I love this stuff! I use this in the day and the age reversal complex at night. This leaves the skin around my eyes smoother, more supple and much less wrinkly! You also don't need a separate primer, as this does both jobs! Impressive and effective stuff, i'd highly recommend it :)

I started using Dermalogica in my Esthetics school. It was one of two brands we used on each other to practice procedures, used on clients, and sold to the public. Honestly I think Dermalogica is over priced, but it has a lot of really good products for the skin. This serum is NOT for moisturizing purposes! A serum is used after you cleanse the skin, and before you moisturize. You want to make sure your skin is dry before you put it on, and make sure this is dry before putting on eye cream, or concealer. It is an anti aging serum with multi-vitamins to help with fine lines, decrease age spots, and to stimulate collagen and elastin levels. It is silicone based, so it goes on smooth, feels nice and silky, and can also be used as an under eye primer. It's white, but it disappears into the skin when blended. You only need a small amount for both eyes, or else you will see a residue when it dries. This tube should last you a really long time, depending on if you use it once or twice a day. It will take a few months to see results.

It's not a bad eye cream. It does smooth out the wrinkles upon application but I'm not sure it has any major benefits. I was told that it doesn't have a very good moisturizing property as it is silicone based. However, it goes on well under concealer and make up and the smell is sweet like raspberries which I really like. I've been using it day and night BEFORE moisturizer as I've recently learnt that applying eye cream after your moisturizer is pointless - like putting on your underwear over your jeans! Overall it is a good eye treatment but not stellar. I'm still looking for something that will actually combat the crow's feet.

I have had a large sample of this which I have been able to use daily for over a month now so I feel I can review this confidently.
The Multivitamin Power Firm has a white gel texture that smells strongly of RASPBERRY! Ah may zing! You only need the tiniest amount because spreads so well and it gives the skin an instant smooth velvet-like feeling, very different for me.
It doesn't leave a shiny finish which I like and when applying makeup over it, it goes on flawlessly. I am yet to see any improvement in my eye area but I feel an eye cream would work better at moisturising. I like using this before makeup application as a light-weight eye treatment to prep the skin but it doesn't feel rich enough.
I like it and will use up the sample but I wouldn't purchase the full-size/recommend.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium Hair: Brunette Eyes: Brown
I am quite young for eye treatments, but I prefer to be precautionary when it comes to my skin.
I was recommended this one instead of the other Dermalogica's eye treatments because I used to get puffy eyes in the morning. I have noticed that the puffiness has decreased and I look less tired. I still have some darkness under my eyes, but that is more due to genetics, nutrition and late nights. For combating fine lines, I would prefer to use the Age Reversal Eye Complex.
I like the packaging because it is small and light, while being hygienic. Great to travel with.
I am very pleased with this and I use it day and night.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral Hair: Brown, Curly, Medium Eyes: Green
I bought this product because I have a friend in her late fifties who used this and her undereye area looked amazing. This product is silicone based-it went on my skin much like a silicone face primer does. After using for several weeks I decided that the moisturizing benefits just weren't enough for me. An alternative way to use this would be to layer it over a richer eye cream or your regular facial moisturizer. What this does, in effect, is make the Dermalogica eye product work as a smoothing base for any other product (concealer, makeup, BB) placed under the eye.
BEAUTY FIX TIP: I have a few cream eyeshadows and primers in jars that have dried out over time. I scooped a little bit of the cream project out of the jar and used a small palette knife to mix it with some of the Dermaolgica Power Firm product until I had the consistency I wanted, then applied to my eye. This really has given some my much loved cream-based eye products a second life!
This product is not really something I would purchase again because a) I already have eye primers I like and this would be duplicating them, and b) it doesn't provide enough moisture for me, especially for nighttime use. I feel this product would be best for those people who are not seeking out an undereye moisturizer with anti-aging benefits (maybe someone in their twenties).

I tried this cream and now instead of fine lines I have deep wrinkles I have not exaggerating, friends asked if I had slept the night before I tried many creams but this is appalling to me.

I do not like its texture. It has dehydrated more my skin area making my fine lines more pronounced than ever. Not what I had in mind! Not hydrating enough for my 30+ skin area plus I attribute the dehydration to the silicon contents. I prefer more age reversal eye complex from the same line. I would suggest this eye cream for those in their early twenties who want to use an eye cream for age prevention.

I love this eye cream....it is amazing.
I generally love dermalogica anyways, and I am swapping my intensive eye repair cream for this today! It goes on really smooth and isn't wet which means my under eye brightner doesnt cake - it just glides on.
Great product - banished those pesky fine lines!

Overall, it's a good product, and will continue to purchase until I find better eye treatment cream. I have been using this products for three months... before this, I was using dermalogica total eye care spf 15 which didn't give any effect to my dark circles and fine lines around eye area.. the beautician advised me to try switch to multivitamin powerfirm as she had noticed some milia is starting to develop, but it's not obvious at all...
after 3 months, my dark circles had reduced a little bit and on top of that my fine lines is less noticeable, the milia seed has also subsided. despite the positive effects, i have to take out one lippy due to the price, and i expect it to do better in reducing my dark circles... but again, will still continue buying this until i find better eye treatment cream.

Before I walked into the Cindi's on Central, I had no idea why they'd open a location that's literally next door to The Casket Store. (Same question to you, Boxes to Go. You offering speedier service? I guess it's pretty much impossible to open up any store next to The Casket Store and have it sound normal. There's a flower shop in the same strip, and that makes total sense and still creeps me out. Just the name "The Casket Store" sounds so bulk purchase. "Need 50 caskets? Come on down to The Casket Store! We've got the box if you've got the death!")
Slide into a booth at Cindi's, note the hangover-friendly lack of lighting and the fact that there's a 10-minute lunch wait at 11:30 a.m. and Columbo puts together that the Cindi's clientele generally fall into three camps: the wasted or recently unwasted, the work-lunch ladies and the old as fuck. And no matter how much that just-started-a-strict-diet-and-this-time-she's-stickin'-to-it assistant manager of yours says she's definitely ordering a salad, she won't. She and everybody else in here all came for the same thing: a pile o' meat to cure what ails them. Which means that Cindi's is actually smart to open up next to The Casket Store: Sooner than later, anybody who's a regular at this pastrami festival is bound to be in the market.

Too morbid? Oh, I'm sorry—I just got an eyeful o' casket. It's kinda on the brain right now. Probably why I ordered the Combo Delite, listed under their "lite options." It comes with turkey, ham, lettuce, tomato, mayo, Russian dressing, alfalfa sprouts on seven-grain toast and a side of kosher pickle. Scoff at the fact that this mayo-and-salad-dressinged, double-meatified, buttered-toastwich is under the "lite" section of the menu and it'll be clear to me that you haven't been to Cindi's. For at this Home of the Grilled Cheese With Bacon, this Land of the New York-Style Sandwiches All Available as Triple-Deckers for Just Two Bucks More, this Breakfast-All-Day Heaven, the Combo Delite is rabbit food. I liked it. Next time, when I have a little more cash and a little more hangover I'll go for the Reuben. Or that bacon-y grilled cheese. Mmmm. Is that pain in my chest love or a heart attack? Yes.

New York Times Company CEO Plunks Down Seven Figures for 'Dilapidated' Four-Bedroom
Perhaps it's time for Merriam-Webster's One-Percenter Dictionary. Because as noted this afternoon on Twitter by Michael Calderone and HuffPost Media, this rarefied group's definition of English-language words can be a little different than yours or ours.
The Twitter discussion was sparked by an article by The Real Deal Web producer Mark Maurer. The item details the purchase by New York Times Company CEO Mark Thompson and his wife of a $3.4 million unit in Upper West Side cooperative The Cornwall:
Lynn Sullivan of Brown Harris Stevens represented the seller, while Jeffrey Silverstein of Douglas Elliman represented the buyer. The seller was John Ziegler, who lived there for about 35 years and wanted to scale down, Sullivan said.
"The seller didn't want anyone to rip it apart, but this couple was interested in restoring it," Sullivan told The Real Deal. "They said, 'We can see the treasure in a dilapidated castle.'"

Everywhere the summer holidays are over, and that means that the seminaries are staring their new academic years as well. Notable among them is the Ariëns Institute of the Archdiocese of Utrecht, which opens its doors for the first time. After several years outside the archdiocese, the seminarians have returned to the city of Utrecht to live in the newly refurbished house and to study at the University of Tilburg in Utrecht or the Fontys University of Applied Sciences. Yesterday Cardinal Wim Eijk opened and blessed the house, which is home to six seminarians. A further two are studying parttime at Bovendonk seminary in the Diocese of Breda, one is spending a pastoral year in a parish, and four Colombian members of the Misioneros de Cristo Maestro live nearby, in their own communal house. The cardinal blessed that house a day earlier.

At the aforementioned Bovendonk, 21 students for the priesthood or the diaconate (re)started their studies and formation. They come from the Dutch dioceses of Breda, Rotterdam and Utrecht, as well as the Belgian (Arch)dioceses of Breda, Rotterdam and Utrecht, as well as the Belgian (Arch)dioceses of Antwerp and Mechelen-Brussels. Two seminarians from the Diocese of Groningen-Leeuwarden also live, not at Bovendonk, but in the Diocese of Breda, studying at the University of Tilburg.

The Vronesteyn centre in the Diocese of Rotterdam coordinates the formation of seminarians for that diocese. It has six men studying in the Dioceses of Haarlem-Amsterdam and Breda, as well as Eichstätt in Germany.

The old debate about the number of seminaries in the Netherlands was restarted this week as the rectors of two of them – Fathers Jan Vries of Rolduc (Diocese of Roermond) and Gerard Bruggink (pictured at right) of the Tiltenberg (D. of Haarlem-Amsterdam) – both suggested that the Church in this country would be better served by having a single seminary for the entire Province, instead of the six that exist now.
Every Dutch diocese, except for Groningen-Leeuwarden, maintains its own seminary, although there is cooperation to a certain extent: professors and teachers often work at more than one seminary, and the one in the Diocese of Breda, Bovendonk, is specifically geared towards seminarians who begin their studies and formation later in life, next to a job. Groningen-Leeuwarden and Rotterdam send their seminarians, for their entire study or part of it, to Haarlem-Amsterdan, Utrecht or Bovendonk. In addition to this, the Neocatechumenal Way maintains two seminaries in the Netherlands and sends its students for several courses to either Rolduc or the Tiltenberg.
All in all, there are 76 fulltime seminarians studying at the several seminaries in the Netherlands, of whom 49 come from abroad. They are generally part of the Neocatechumenal Way. There are also another 11 parttime seminarians, who study next to their day job.
Most seminary rectors are in favour of merging the existing seminaries into one or two. Father Patrick Kuipers of the recently re-established Ariëns Institute (seminary building pictured at left), Archdiocese of Utrecht, says, "Personally, I am very much in favour of it. I think that the group of seminarians in the Netherlands is too small to be spread out over five or six institutes." He thinks a group of 25 would be ideal, because that would form a true community. Father Norbert Schnell, of Bovendonk, relates that German colleagues say that 20 seminarians is the minimum required.
Fr. Bruggink wonders if it is even possible to maintain two seminarians, one according to the proper seminary model in which all education taking place in-house, and another following the convict model, in which some or all academic training takes place at a university of polytechnic. "I am very much in favour of maintaining the seminary format, if need be next to the convict form. Intellectual, pastoral and personal formation together with spiritual formation in one house, in one whole, is, I think, necessary for the future. I think that young people are attracted to that instead of the current fragmentation."
There are practical considerations which all boil down to one thing: can the Dutch Church continue to support these five or six separate institutes into the future? The financial side of this is not the least, as the Church is not supported in any way but by the faithful. It is they who, ultimately need to support whatever structure of seminary education the bishops wish to maintain.
And, as all seminary rectors stress, it is with the bishops that the ball lies. Fr. Kuipers says, "I discussed it several times with Cardinal Eijk, who is responsible in the bishops' conference for the seminaries. But that is all. The question is to what extent the bishops can let go of their own seminaries." Fr. Vries of Rolduc simlarly states, "We can toss ideas about, but it's the bishops who must hold the talks."
Odd one out among the rectors is Fr. Filip De Rycke of the St. John's Centre in Den Bosch. He admits that "sharing" teachers is a burden on people and that a larger group of students is better. But he also looks to Flanders, where all dioceses, apart from Bruges, joined forces. There is no outpouring of vocations there either, he states.
Deciding in favour of only one or two seminaries for the Church in the Netherlands would, in my opinion, have positive effects in several areas. It would allow for the formation of true communities which in turn would attract more prospective seminarians, and resources may be bundled: financially and in manpower (thus eliminating the concern that Fr. De Rycke mentions). Expertise is more effective when concentrated and communities form their members when they can actually be communities.
I hope that this question is picked up by the bishops, and that they are able to look at the bigger picture of the future of the Church in the Netherlands. We need priests and priests need the best formation and education on offer.
As Bishop Stephen Robson (pictured) is appointed as ordinary of the Scottish Diocese of Dunkeld, I can't hep but notice the similarity of this appointment with that of the previous holder of Bishop Robson's titular see, Tunnuna.
Bishop Robson was appointed as that ancient see's titular bishop in May of 2012 (in conjunction with his appointment as auxiliary bishop of Saint Andrews and Edinburgh, of course). Only 19 months later, he becomes an ordinary in his own right, and will therefore no longer hold a titular see.
Before Bishop Robson, a Dutch bishop held the title of Tunnuna. He was Bishop Jan Liesen, today the ordinary of Breda. He was titular bishop of Tunnuna for only 14 months, between his appointment as auxiliary bishop of 's Hertogenbosch and ordinary of Breda.
Clearly, titular bishops of Tunnuna are only so for a very short time… If we don't consider the five bishops who came before them, that is! A fun coincidence, then.

Just because I can, a news roundup from the Dutch dioceses. Let's take a look at what's been going on in the various corners of the Church province.
Led by Cardinal Eijk, some 100 faithful from the Archdiocese of Utrecht have been on pilgrimage to Rome this week. They visited various churches (Cardinal Eijk's title church San Callisto, Saint Peter's, the Church of the Frisians, Saint Mary Major (pictured) and Saint John Lateran), celebrated Mass at the tomb of Saint Peter, saw the sights and capped the trip off with today's general audience with Pope Francis. Cardinal Eijk offered Mass every day in concelebration with the accompanying and some local priests.
In the Diocese of Breda, the Franciscan sisters in Bergen op Zoom celebrated the 175th anniversary of their diocesan congregation's existence. They did so in the presence of Bishop Jan Liesen and other guests, and also used the day to reopen their chapel after a year of restoration work. As the congregation also has a thriving sister house in Indonesia, Bishop Michael Angkur of the Diocese of Bogor was also present. With his entourage, he visited other congregations (and some local sights) in the diocese as well.
Also in Breda, the pilgrims to the World Youth Day in Rio had their first reunion (pictured). They did so at Bovendonk seminary. The pilgrims looked back on the weeks in Suriname and in Rio de Janeiro, sharing their experiences with each other and with those who stayed at home to take part in WYD@Home.
The Diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam bade farewell to its vicar general, Msgr. Martin de Groot (pictured at left with Bishop Jan Hendriks), after 50 years of service in the diocese. The farewell took place with a choral evensong in Amsterdam's Basilica of St. Nicholas followed by a reception. In addition to the diocese's Bishops Punt, Hendriks and Van Burgsteden, Rotterdam's Bishop van den Hende and Utrecht's auxiliary Bishop Hoogenboom were present, reflecting the wide-ranging duties that Msgr. de Groot performed in and beyond his diocese.
Also in Haarlem-Amsterdam, a unique appointment: the first female Magister Cantus (or, in this case, Magistra Cantus) of the Netherlands. On Sunday Ms. Sanne Nieuwenhuijsen will be installed as such by Bishop Punt. She will have responsibility for the music in the cathedral basilica of St. Bavo, the musical institute connected to it and the choirs. She has been conducting the cathedral choir since 2010.

Happy birthday to Bishop Johannes Wilhelmus Maria Liesen, who today marks his 53rd birthday.
Bishop Liesen was born in Oosterhout, Diocese of Breda and became a priest of the Diocese of Roermond and later Auxiliary Bishop of 's Hertogenbosch and is now the Bishop of Breda.
"Christ is everything for me, the centre of my life, from Baptism to death. He is the personification of God, showing s how to live in intimate union with God, how to literally embody that great and incomprehensible God. Or, as the Gospel of John tells us, "Anyone who has seen Me, has seen the Father". When you become the Body of Christ together, you experience in a fundamental way that you belong together and support one another."
With this quote from Bishop Muskens himself, Bishop Jan Liesen marked the beginning of the farewell ceremony of the ninth bishop of Breda. Lying in state in the Cathedral of St. Anthony, the church that he himself had elevated to cathedral in 2001, Bishop Tiny Muskens was hailed by faithful and clergy alike. His funeral Mass took place this morning in the cathedral, and was followed by a private funeral in the town of Lieshout, where the late bishop was born in 1935.
Among the faithful bidding him their last farewell was a group of sisters from Indonesia, where Bishop Muskens worked for eight years for the local bishops' conference.
The funeral Mass was offered by Bishop Liesen in concelebration with Cardinal Wim Eijk, Bishop Hans van den Hende of Rotterdam (Bishop Muskens coadjutor and successor) and Archbishop André Dupuy, the Apostolic Nuncio, as well as several dozen priests of the Diocese of Breda. The other Dutch bishops attended as well.
Completely in the style of the 'Red Bishop', there was a collection for the local food bank in Breda, which distributes food and other necessities to the poor, after the Mass.

These days this blog certainly gives the impression of being preoccupied with death. But, then again, death is part of life, and when it encroaches we can benefit by acknowledging it. So, with that, in mind, onwards to another post about a death in the local Catholic family.
Last night a life ended that was greatly animated by concern for others, both abroad and at home. Also a life that was not without its critics, who accused it of being perhaps too generally spiritual as opposed to Catholic, and on some topics far too liberal. But that criticism did not leave its mark. Silence, care and simply doing what needed doing did.
Bishop Martinus Petrus Maria Muskens passed away last night at the age of 77. The final years of his life were marked by ever decreasing health and mobility, although he was able to attend several major celebrations within the Diocese of Breda, including the 50th anniversary of his own ordination to the priesthood. Bishop Muskens is survived by his own predecessor, Bishop Huub Ernst, and two of his predecessors, Bishop Hans van den Hende and Jan Liesen, as bishops of Breda.
Bishop Muskens, whose first name was usually shortened to 'Tiny', started his life in the Church as a priest of the Diocese of 's Hertogenbosch in 1962. His study of missiology at Nijmegen led him to Indonesia, where he worked for eight years as director of the Indonesian Bishops' Conference's documentation centre. In 1978, Father Muskens went to Rome, to become rector of the Dutch College and teach Church history at two international colleges. One of his most noted efforts there was the restoration of the Church of Saints Michael and Magnus, better known as the Church of the Frisians. Today this church is the home base for Dutch pilgrims and officials in Rome. In 1994, Pope John Paul II appointed him as the ninth bishop of Breda. Bishop Muskens was consecrated by his predecessor, Bishop Huub Ernst, which marked his first permanent return to the Netherlands since he left for Indonesia. Marking his international and interfaith outlook that would come to the fore in later years, Bishop Muskens chose the simple word "Shalom", Peace, as his motto.
Following two minor strokes in 2001, Bishop Muskens decided to request a coadjutor and an early retirement. These were both granted in 2006, in the form of Bishop Hans van den Hende, and in 2007, when Bishop Muskens joined the Benedictine community in Teteringen, where he was simply known as "Brother Martinus". Shortly afterwards, a chance collision with a cyclist led to him breaking his hip. He never walked again without the aid of a cane, and at major celebrations he was usually present in choir or in a pew at the front of the church.
In his years as bishop of Breda, Msgr. Muskens was perhaps the most visible bishop in the media. Several of his statements and convictions caused ripples in society and also within the Church. He was, for example, in favour of abolishing mandatory celibacy for priests, and suggested the use of condoms as a lesser evil. He was also in favour of female deacons. On the other hand, other acts and statements made him quite popular in society. He said that a homeless person should be allowed to steal a bread if that meant survival, and at another occasion he slept in a doorway to underline the plight of homeless people. This social engagement gave him the nickname I used in this blog post's title: the Red Bishop.
His experience in dealing with Islam was also visible in his work as bishop. He suggested that the Dutch national holiday of the second day of Pentecost be traded for a holiday to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid, since the former lacks any theological basis. He also suggested we address God also with the name Allah. On the other hand, he was also critical of Islam. The dialogue between Christians and Muslims has no future, he said in 2007, as long as countries in the Middle East continue to forbid the construction of churches.
Like him or not, there is no denying that Bishop Tiny Muskens was a character, and he knew it. He knew the importance of sometimes shaking up set morals and convictions. As such, he leaves some big shoes to fill, but I'll go as far as to say that we could use someone to fill them.
Journalist Arjan Broers, who wrote three books with and about the bishop, characterises Bishop Muskens in the epilogue to one of those books:
"In this book, you won't read how all sorts of people feel at ease with Muskens, because they don t need to pretend with him. You will neither read how people often felt visibly uncomfortable with him. Not out of awe for His Excellency, but because he is so hard to fathom.
You will not read how Muskens can pester people […]. You won't read how he can act like a tank, by walking into a Church institution in Rome, bishop's cross on his chest like an imposing identification, and keep on walking and asking until he gets what he wants. And you'll neither read how, at other times, he accepts how things are without a fight."
A tank, a man with a mission he simply had to see through, Bishop Muskens got away with it and did what he understood as the right thing. And he simply did it, without much words, as he was perfectly at ease with silence. Silence just because it's silent.
The Requiem Mass and funeral will take place on 23 April in the Cathedral of St. Anthony in Breda. Bishop Muskens will be laid to rest in the family grave in his native Elshout.

Marking the abdication of Pope Benedict XVI, which becomes effective in the evening of 28 February, all Dutch and Flemish dioceses will be offering a thanksgiving Mass for his pontificate. With the exception of Haarlem-Amsterdam and Antwerp, all will do so on the day of abdication itself.
The two metropolitan archdioceses, Utrecht and Mechelen-Brussels, will feature the most extensive celebrations. In Utrecht, a Mass will be offered at 12:30 at St. Catherine's cathedral, which will be followed by Holy Hour, a sung Rosary, Vespers and Benediction at 6. Whether Cardinal Eijk will attend this day is unclear. Mechelen-Brussels will offer no less than three Masses, all at 8pm: In Brussels by Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard and auxiliary Bishop Jean Kockerols, in Louvain (St. Peter's) by auxiliary Bishop Leon Lemmens, and in Waver (St. John the Baptist) by auxiliary Bishop Jean-Luc Hudsyn.
The other thanksgiving Masses will take place at 6pm in Bruges (by Bishop Jozef De Kesel), at 7pm in Groningen (Bishop Gerard de Korte), Breda (Bishop Jan Liesen) and Roermond (Bishop Frans Wiertz), and at 8pm in Ghent (Bishop Luc Van Looy) and Hasselt (Bishop Patrick Hoogmartens). All Masses will be at the respective cathedrals of the dioceses, except in Breda, where the Mass will be offered at the chapel of the Bovendonk seminary in Hoeven, and Hasselt, where the Basilica of Our Lady will host the Mass
The next day, 1 March, auxiliary Bishop Jan Hendriks will offer a Mass at 7:30pm, and on 3 March, Antwerp's Bishop Johan Bonny will offer one at 5pm.
In addition to these Masses, parishes, communities and other societies may of course also mark the abdication with Masses or prayer services.

Ask many grilling experts the kind of barbeque grill they'd select, and one half of them would pick propane gas grills, while the rest opt for charcoal grills. Although these days gas grills have become more popular than charcoal grills, a lot of people still prefer the latter. For many reasons, the conventional charcoal grill gives more enjoyment to people. Nonetheless, the enjoyable job of barbecuing may not be the same for all folks. You'll find other people that want far more convenient equipment for grilling.
Measurements done by the Department of Energy show barbecuing with gas for an hour generates 5.6 lbs of carbon dioxide, while using the charcoal to grill emits 11 pounds of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere each hour.
Gas grills may be used year-round, are simple to use, heat swiftly, have heat range settings, and are simple and easy to clean up. Charcoal grills, however, take time and effort to use in the winter season, take a while to heat and prepare the charcoal, depend only on the cook's expertise and attention for temperature management, and are hard to clean up.
One benefit of gas grills is that it is very simple to light; with just the yank of a control button, you'll produce a fire. Controlling the heat is moreover as easy as igniting them. Gas grills regularly use propane as the fuel and can be used for an extended time and several dinners. Price ranges of propane gas grills furthermore vary because they can go as low as $130 and will go up to $1,250 based on the manufacturer as well as the functions that you would like.
You should keep in mind that charcoal grills involve some very dangerous elements the consumer should know about when using this kind of barbecue grill. Don't assume all charcoal grills are made equally. Some can be very inexpensive and improperly assembled. Propane gas grills have heat range settings which make retaining temperatures simple. But even high-end gas grills will only have a temperature of about 500 degrees fahrenheit.
Gas grills typically use propane as the fuel which enables it to be used for a long period and lots of meals. Purchasing one huge bag of charcoal might last for approximately four cook-outs, while a propane gas tank lasts for more than 12 hours for every re-fill, based upon how many BTUs the propane gas grill has.
Grilling with charcoal grills are usually as easy as scrubbing them up, spraying them clean and grilling. Replacing pieces on a charcoal grill is inexpensive. Cooking with charcoal briquettes burns much hotter than gas grills. If during your next barbecue you are grilling steaks and lamb, and you want pink in the center and crisp on the outside, you need very high temperature. Charcoal grills will get as hot as 725 degrees fahrenheit, temperature needed to sear the meat properly.

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
There's a decent chance that you can contact the site Moderators and ask to have your consecutive days reinstated because you were at the retreat.......Just an idea.
Hope you made it over to Great Wolf Lodge
Yeah I did the same thing, I was at 975 and lost all. You can contact the monitors and they will reinstate your points. They give you two do-overs for times like these.
I am with you buddy. the system is all messed up. Middle America ( that is paying for everything) is getting smaller and Smaller and they are paying more and more to prop up the system. I say Flat Tax (which will never happen) is the way to go. Make the Mega companies pay their share, take a way the free stuff from the freeloaders ( or at least get a handle on the out-of-control fraud). Any way I feel your frustration.
Thanks. You have nice toys
Thanks for the congrats on my new car.
I miss R-12! Bud's? ~drill'.

GREAT FALLS - Less than a year after Yancy, the only trained arson dog in Montana, arrived in Great Falls, she now has to go back to Maine.
Doug Bennyhoff, who announced his retirement last week as the Great Falls Fire Marshal, was the only person trained to work with Yancy.
Bennyhoff's announcement came just days after he was charged in connection with the September death of Orville Jones.
Now, the city tells MTN News that the golden lab will not stay in Montana.
Logistics of how the dog will make it back to Maine have yet to be determined, but city staff expect to work out those details within the next few days.
State Farm awarded Great Falls Fire Rescue a $45,000 grant to pay for Yancy and her training.
Bennyhoff and Yancy spent a month training in Maine last spring, forming a unique bond that trainers say can not be replicated with another person if the original human can no longer be paired with the dog.
The Arson Dog website states:
Arson dogs are trained to sniff out minute traces of accelerants (gasoline, lighter fluid, etc.) that may have been used to start a fire. Each arson dog works and lives with their handler, a law enforcement officer or firefighter trained to investigate fire scenes. The canines and handlers are required to complete four weeks of training in Maine, training every day during those four weeks.

The subject of this presentation is the role that Spanish women of letters played in the nineteenth-century antislavery movement (in the period between 1840 and 1886) through the creation of "spaces of sociability" for women, as reflected in both their writings and in their political activism. While traditional assumptions about separate spheres for women and men figured into abolitionist political strategies of both sexes, the involvement of women of letters in the anti-slavery cause allowed them to shape new models of female subjectivity, to define themselves as political subjects and, ultimately, to negotiate a new public sphere for themselves. While the impact of liberalism and romanticism in the first half of the century paved the way for women''s entry into a civil society from which they were excluded, as the century progressed, women's negotiations in the public sphere became fraught with complexities and contradictions. Not only did differences among women give rise to different strategies of negotiation, but the new public sphere was also in constant transformation, as a political and discursive battleground. This presentation will focus on the Spanish writer, editor, and public figure, Faustina Saez de Melgar, whose support of the abolitionist cause belied her apparent conservatism in other areas of personal and public life, to exemplify the complex strategies of negotiation in which she and her female contemporaries were engaged in the cultural field as they participated in the transatlantic discourse against slavery.

April 16, 2012 - "The Beatles... Yesterday and Today butcher cover prices"
In a recent episode of the History Channel's American Pickers, the buyers found someone with the album by the Beatles with the butcher shop scene on the cover.
The owner of the LP told the pickers that if it were in mint condition he would value it at $39,000.
But, because his copy showed noticeable wear, he ended up letting it go for $1,000.
Was he just blowing smoke, or is $39,000 a realistic price?
- Ken Norwood, Flagstaff, Ariz.
Missing from your question is every piece of information, other than the title, necessary to appraise that specific copy of "The Beatles... Yesterday and Today" (Capitol 2553).
Unless you recorded and saved that episode, you may have no way of knowing more about it, so I'd better cover all of the likely possibilities.
Every one of the Capitol's 1966 issues fits into one of three groups, commonly known as states:
FIRST STATE: Front cover pictures the Beatles wearing white smocks, commonly seen on butchers and doctors. Scattered on and around them are several chunks of raw meat and bones, plus a few pieces of broken toy dolls. Monaural first state copies (T-2553) are in the $5,000 to $7,500 range. Stereos (ST-2553) are at least twice as rare as monos, and twice as valuable: $10,000 to $15,000.
Regardless of which format the pickers found, unless it is both pristine and factory-sealed, $39,000 is far, far above current market prices.
SECOND STATE: Has two front covers. The one on top pictures John, George, and Ringo standing behind a trunk. Paul is sitting inside the open trunk. Underneath the trunk cover, and somewhat visible to the naked eye, is the original butcher cover. This concoction is often referred to as having the paste-over cover.
Monaural second state copies are in the $1,000 to $2,000 range. Stereos are $2,000 to $3,000.
THIRD STATE: Has only the trunk cover.
Both monaural and stereo third state copies are in the $200 to $400 range.
Chief among the variables that can drive prices well above or below these near-mint value ranges is condition.
Any of the three variations can sell for several times more if mint and still in the factory shrink-wrap, or for a fraction of the price if excessive wear and tear is evident.
According to sales results in our database, the highest prices paid for factory-sealed first state butcher covers is $85,000 for stereo and $47,500 for mono.
Unique to this album is the need for a separate price range for "peeled" copies. These are second state issues, but with the trunk cover peeled off to expose the butcher one underneath.
The damage sustained by the substrate butcher cover, by the peeling process, can be from none to extensive. Since the value will be directly proportional to the result, it is wise to have the peeling done by a professional.
Hopefully, before paying $1,000 for "The Beatles... Yesterday and Today," the American Pickers had access to enough of the above facts and figures to make an informed decision. I'm guessing they did.
You are my last hope to put an end to the harassing I get on the car show circuit, during the golden oldies segment.
The dee jay usually takes requests, and for years I have asked them to play a car-related song I once heard. At least, I thought I did.
From the early '60s (1961-'63), the title is "Four on the Floor and a Fifth Under the Seat."
It may have been recorded by a California Highway Patrolman, but my memory is fuzzy on that.
I need to know if it really exists on record, or face another year on the circuit being chided by the guys.
- Neil Paton, Hubertus, Wisc.
One of the most common reasons for being unable to locate a song is not knowing the correct title. In this case, you are so close to being accurate I'm surprised it didn't turn up in your search.
I know four ON the floor makes more sense, but this one is "Four in the Floor (And a "Fifth" Under the Seat)." (United Artists 844).
This "if you drink, don't drive" narrative, credited to Trooper Jim Foster, came out in 1965, a wee bit later than you thought.
Now that you have the correct title and artist, you can easily bring it up on YouTube.
We only know of two other records by Jim Foster, one on each side of "Four in the Floor," and they too are car related.
As Jim Foster and the Kountry Kut-Ups, he did "Rag Roof Roadster" (River 603) in 1964, in which he sings "I'm telling ya boys, I got four in the floor."
Then in 1967, still as Trooper Jim Foster, he released "Four Chrome Wheels" (Turret 109).

The Color Run
On August 5, 2012 The Color Run group is travelling to Grand Rapids to organize the first color dust race in the city. The race starts and finishes at Calder Plaza (315 Ottawa Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49503). It is one of over 40 races that are happening across the United States in 2012.
The Color Run has been called "the happiest 5K on the planet." It is more about enjoying a colorful day with friends and family than speed. Participants will run through downtown while volunteers ambush participants with colored dust (100% natural and safe) at each kilometer mark. Each kilometer mark is represented by a different color and a "Color Extravaganza" awaits runners at the finish line.
Nearby races in Ann Arbor and Chicago have sold out at over 10,000 participants. Registration is open and has over 8,000 people who have already signed up. The fees are the following:
Individual Teams (of 4 of more)
$45 until June 1st $40 until June 1st
$50 until July 1st $45 until July 1st
$55 after July 1st $50 after July 1st
Participants will run in heats of 1,200 every ten minutes beginning at 8am. Following the race, the Finish Festival will be at Calder Plaza.
"The West Michigan Sports Commission is excited to be hosting a Color Run 5k. The overwhelming attraction to tie sport and fitness with this unique participant experience will draw visitors from across the state and neighboring states," indicated Mike Guswiler, Executive Director.
The Color Run does have charity partners for the event through group volunteering. Organizations can receive $300 for 15 or more volunteers provided. Volunteers will help at the finish line, packet pick up, throw color powder, and clean up the event. If you are interested in volunteering you can contact Matt Christensen at firstname.lastname@example.com.

THE METHAPHYSICS OF DEATH MASK A death mask, as such, is known as a part of traditions of virtually all countries and nations. As far back as in the time of the ancient Egypt, it was believed that there was an invisible connection between the kingdoms of Heaven and Earth. That is why the most important process of the funeral ceremony was the mummification of a body which, after prayers and consecration, was put into a sarcophagus enameled and decorated with gold and gems. A special element of the rite was a death mask, put on the face of the deceased. This mask was believed to strengthen the spirit of the mummy and guard the soul from evil spirits in its way to the afterworld. The most well known death mask is the mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamen (the eighteenth dynasty). Made of gold and gems, the mask truthfully conveys the features of the ancient kingdom ruler. From the time of the Middle Kingdom, the ancient Egyptians covered the faces of the dead with the conventionalized masks with generalized features. These masks served to help the spirits of the dead to find the bodies upon their return, and were made of linen covered with plaster, then painted. The faces of deceased kings of Cambodia and Siam were covered with gold masks. The Incas covered the faces of the deceased royalty with the masks made of gold and nephritis. Natives of some African tribes believed that a mask of an ancestor imparted the magic power of the deceased to the descendant. The magic ceremony of creating the clay masks on the skulls was common in the south of today's Ukraine. At times these masks were placed along the dead bones in the catacomb tombs - an attempt to make the dead alive. The ancient Greeks for making death masks used wax, which even then was attributed with the magic power. In November of 1876, the famous archeologist Henrich Schliemann discovered in Mycenae six graves being fully confident that those belonged to the kings and ancient Greek heroes Agamemnon, Cassandra, Evrimdon, and their associates. To his surprise, the skulls were covered by the gold death masks never mentioned by Homer. DEATH MASK IN THE WORLD HISTORY In the Middle Ages, a shift took place from the precious masks to the masks made out of the wax and plaster casts. The masks were not being put into graves any more. Instead, as true rarity, they were kept in the libraries, museums, and universities. The death masks were taken not only of the deceased royalty and nobility (Henry VIII, B.Sforza), but also of the eminent persons - poets, philosophers, and dramaturges, such as Dante, Bruneleski, Torquato Tasso, Shakespeare, and Pascal. The death masks were then used for making marble sculpture portraits and busts or printed gravures of the deceased. The first example in history of a large collection of the death masks and their consequent transformation into wax figures is the story of the famous madam Tussauds. In Britain the tradition of death masks began in the 15th century. At first, the masks served for making full size wood figures, which were placed upon the coffins during burial ceremonials. Only later were the masks used for making sculpture portraits (O. Cromwell, J.Swift, and Sir Isaac Newton). Evidently, it was from Britain that the death mask tradition has been brought to America. Now, many American universities possess remarkable collections of death masks. The death masks and hand casts have been taken of almost all American presidents, eminent scientists, and Hollywood stars. The most famous and scandalous cast was the death mask of the bank robber John Dillinger, who died on July 22, 1934. But, certainly, there is no other nation as respectful towards the mystery of death as Germans. The death masks have been taken virtually of all notable German personalities. The tradition of death mask was still in place when Hitler came to power. During that period the death masks were taken of Paul von Hindenburg - German Field Marshal and President of Germany from 1925-1934, Reinhardt Heydrich - a protector of Bohemia and Moravia killed in Prague in 1942, and Erwin Rommel, renowned for his African desert victories during World War II and the plot against Hitler. The tradition of a death mask is common for other countries as well: Austria (J.Haydn, L.van Beethoven, F.Schubert, G.Mahler, Italy (composers, opera singers, and filmmakers), Spain (A.Gaudi), Finland (K.Mannerheim), Poland (G.Senkevich, J.Pilsudski), Turkey (Ataturk), and Argentina (E.Peron). TRADITIONS OF DEATH MASK IN UKRAINE AND RUSSIA In Russia, the death mask tradition dates back to the times of Peter I. His death mask taken by K.B.Rastrelli as well as death masks of Alexander I, Nikolay I, and Alexander II are well known. From the middle of the 19th century this tradition spread country-wide. The masks were being taken of all prominent writers and poets, painters and actors, statesmen and philosophers. The eminent sculptor Sergey Merkurov (1881-1952) is rightfully considered to be a reformer of the death mask art. He was the author of more than hundred death masks of public and politician figures, scientists, and artists. Matvey Manizer (1891-1966) took Merkurov's place. On March 5, 1953 Manizer received an important state order to make a mask and hand cast of the deceased Stalin. He performed the work brilliantly. After his death the right to take death masks from the "high and mighties" passed on to Iulian Rukavishnkov (1922-2000). He took death masks of L.Brezhnev, Y.Andropov, and K.Chernenko. The origin of this tradition in Ukraine dates back to the ancient times when the unknown painters of Kiev-Pechersk Lavra were creating three-dimensional portraits of saints. Their main purpose was to keep the image of the holy people for the descendants. One of the first real Ukrainian death masks known is the mask of the great Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko taken by Peter Clodt von Jurgensburg in Petersburg. Western Ukraine, which has always been closer to Europe culturally, adopted this tradition at once. The death masks were taken of many famous people there. In the territory of Ukraine which was then a part of the Russian Empire, on the other hand, the death masks have been taken only rarely. The most famous masks are of the prominent dramaturge, writer and public figure M.Staritsky, the great pianist and composer N.Lysenko and the cast of a hand of the outstanding writer and human rights activist V.Korolenko. During the Soviet period, the death masks were taken of one of the founders of Ukrainian theater N.Sadovsky, academician D. Zabolotny, actors Maria Zankovetskaya and Panas Saksagansky. Thank to this, we now have the opportunity to know what many of Ukrainian historical figures actually looked like. SERGEY MERKUROV The prominent sculptor Sergey Merkurov was born in Alexandropol, Armenia in 1881. After finishing a Tiflis school, he entered the Kiev Polytechnic Institute, but was soon beaten by policemen while participating in a political demonstration, as a result of which Merkurov contracted tuberculosis. Then he had to move to Yalta, where a climate was more suitable for his health. Later on, Merkurov continued his studies abroad. He studied at the Munich Academy of Art in Germany and traveled throughout Europe. Having returned from Europe in 1907, Merkurov made busts of Catholicos Khrimyan and anarchist P.Kropotkin, memorials of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. Merkurov was interested in spiritualistic and mystic doctrines, which were popular in Russia in the beginning of the 20th century. His cousin G.Gurdzhiev was a very famous philosopher-mystic and Merkurov became a member of the occult society. Possibly, this can explain his interest in death masks. Merkurov made death masks of Lev Tolstoy, Lenin, F.Dzerzhinsky, J.Sverdlov, V.Kuybyshev etc. He was the author of more than hundred death masks of public and politician figures, scientists, and artists. After 1917, Merkurov created monuments of all revolutionary leaders. In 1924 Merkurov took the Lenin's death mask. From that moment the image of Lenin became the main subject in Merkurov's art. He created the sculpture of Lenin for the World's Fair, held in New-York in 1937. Later this monument was erected in Kiev. In the 1920s Merkurov set up monuments of Karl Marx and Timiryazev. He created monuments of Alexander Pushkin and Nikolay Gogol in the 1930s. In 1945-1949 Merkurov headed the Pushkin Museum of the Fine Arts in Moscow. Sergey Merkurov died in 1952 and was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery.

Choice for Sanchez
Posted By Jeff Fletcher on January 19, 2009 10:02 pm
Jonathan Sanchez has been selected to the provisional roster for Team Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic.pIt will be interesting to see if Sanchez opts to go. If I were him, I wouldn't want to do anything that affected my preparation for what figures to be the most important season of his career. This is the year when we'll see if he's a solid consistent starter, or just a swingman.
Bengie Molina is also on the Puerto Rico roster and Pablo Sandoval is on Venezuela's. The A's Brad Ziegler and Joey Devine are on the roster for Team USA.
Check out MLB.com for full details.

One Response to "Choice for Sanchez"
My hope is he stays away from the WBC. He pitched significantly more innings last season than he had ever pitched in his career and the fatigue showed after the all star break. At the end of June he was 8-4, 3.73 ERA, 102 k's in 103 innings, and 10 quality starts.
He began to decline after that start, although having only pitched 75 2/3 innings the year before that is somewhat understandable.
I look for him to have a breakout year this season, and sustain it late in the season…. provided he stays away from the WBC that is.

NB Portal training will be organised once all Portal paperwork has been completed and the Portal Manager has given the go-ahead to the Portal Training Team. Training dates are allocated on a first come first serve basis, with a limited amount of places per session.
