Keene councilman says $285,933 BearCat courtesy of Uncle Sam 'a waste of money'
Sorry, no question available
The Lenco BearCat - short for Ballistic Engineered Armored Response Counter Attack Truck - stirred controversy when Keene accepted a $285,933 federal Homeland Security grant to purchase it last year. In addition to cost, worries included the potential for police misuse of the 19,000-pound vehicle.
"It's a waste of money," Clark said this month. "It was a waste of money then, and it's still a waste.
"I guess it hasn't cost us much to maintain it, but almost $300,000 for a vehicle that has been used mostly for training, on two false-alarm calls and as a nice truck on Safety Day? Our government is so cash-strapped, there are much more important things this money could be spent on."
An armored SWAT vehicle was also dispatched the scene of a violent shootout in Greenland in April 2012 in which Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney was killed and four other officers injured. The gunman, suspected drug dealer Cullen Mutrie, also killed his ex-girlfriend, Brittany Tibbetts, and himself in the incident.
Portsmouth police Detective Lt. Michael Maloney, commander of SERT, said his team doesn't keep a written account of how many times the vehicle is used, saying only that it's deployed whenever the team is mobilized. He said it is deployed at least twice a month for training exercises.
Keene police train for several scenarios with the BearCat, including crowd control during a riot, said Keene Police Chief Kenneth Meola. The BearCat can shield officers from glass bottles or other projectiles. Other training sessions simulated using it to help evacuate people caught in harm's way during a standoff.
Keene's BearCat can be used by other town's in Cheshire County. These towns are asked to sign a pact with Keene police and pay $100 in yearly dues for maintenance costs.
Mayor Lane said Keene officials are happy not to have to deploy it.

WiseScript: Dialog controls do not recognize mapped drives on Vista when UAC is enabled
|Created: 2007-02-06
|Updated: 2008-04-24
|Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH26225
|NOTE: If you are experiencing this particular known issue, we recommend that you Subscribe to receive email notification each time this article is updated. Subscribers will be the first to learn about any releases, status changes, workarounds or decisions made.
When running a WiseScript .EXE on a Windows Vista machine with UAC enabled, map drives are not recognized as valid destination folders.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open WiseScript Package Editor
2. Create a new installation using the Empty Project template
3. Add a file to the installation
4. Compile
5. Create a mapped drive on the destination machine
6. Run the .EXE
7. On the Destination Location dialog click Browse. The mapped drive does not appear in the drive list.
8. Type your mapped drive in the directory field
9. Click OK. You receive the message 'Invalid directory name specified or the removable media specified is not properly inserted.'
Wise Installation Studio 7.0
Wise Package Studio 7
This appears to also be an issue on Windows XP when executing an .EXE using Run As. This is basically what UAC uses when you get prompted for elevation.
This occurs because mapped drive connections use the security context of the currently logged on user, and RunAs can't use this security context because RunAs is attempting to run programs under another user's security context. In the case of Windows Vista with UAC, even if you are an administrator most applications run as a standard user. When a task requires administrative privileges, such as installing an application, is invoked, the UAC prompt appears. When the user clicks 'Allow' to this prompt, Vista elevates the rights to full administrator access.
This issue has been fixed for Wise Installation Studio\Express 7 SP1 and Wise Package Studio 7 SP3.
Workaround: Use UNC paths instead of mapped drives

After a young girl was abducted from an area library this week, the Harris County Sheriff's Office has been working to find the man who abducted her. A sketch of the suspect was released based upon the girl's description of the man.
The abduction happened on Monday around 5:30 p.m at the Fairbanks Library located on N. Gessner
A five-year-old-girl was visiting the library with family and was lured away from her family by a man offering her candy.
Family members searched for the child in the area but could not locate the child.
"HCSO deputies were then called to the location to file a missing person report. While deputies were interviewing family members, a Houston Police Department Officer drove up with the child in his car", added the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
"The officer stated he had received a call to respond to a female toddler left in a parking lot at the 10100 block of Tanner Road ,less than two miles from the library. A business owner found the child standing alone in the parking lot across from his business."
After deputies interviewed the child they discovered that she had been approached by a Hispanic male between the ages of 30 to 35 years old of average build weighing around 180 lbs. with a protruding stomach.
The suspect is also described as standing between 5'4 and 5'5 in height, wearing a black Chicago Bulls baseball hat and a dark colored workout jumpsuit or jogging suit.
The man then led the toddler to a dark colored sedan and drove off with the child.
He then let her out at the Tanner Road location. The young girl was taken to the Texas Children's Hospital for an evaluation.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call the Harris County Sheriff's Homicide unit at 713-967-5810 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477)

Cramer: I'm Hungry for Hain
People are particularly perturbed at that last acquisition didn't pan out so fast. There is another acquisition that he did that looks like it's working, which is a juice acquisition. I think that people got spoiled here, but that Irwin has not let anyone down. He's doing his same style that he's done with other acquisitions before. Parts of it haven't worked out; he does have some underperforming units. He'd be the first to tell you that.
I just think that the idea that it's somehow a perpetual acquisition machine, otherwise you'd see dramatically slowing growth in their existing brands, did not hold up as a thesis. I'm not bearish on stock I'm bullish.
Debra Borchardt: Great. You heard it from Jim. He is bullish on Hain. Take a look at Hain. They really did have a good quarter. I think that the market is beating them up a little unfairly.
Jim Cramer: Yeah.-- Written by Debra Borchardt in New York

Description: Can anything be bleaker than the shabby slums of Berlin? Yes, argues director Werner Herzog in Stroszek: try Wisconsin sometime. Bruno S.. stars as an ex-mental patient who dreams of the so-called promised land of America. He aligns himself with like-minded prostitute Eva Mattes and elderly, near-senile Clemens Scheitz. Upon their arrival in Wisconsin, the three misfits find that they're just as trapped in Dairy Country as they'd been in Germany--if not more so. The sour and bitter Stroszek earned worldwide critical and commercial acclaim.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

U.S. export growth and the shift of production back to the U.S. could create up to 5 million jobs and $130 billion in additional annual exports by 2020, according to a recent Boston Consulting Group study.
The report is an upward revision of the consulting group's previous 2011 study that estimated near-sourcing would create up to 3 million jobs, and the most recent estimates are based on a closer study of how competitive U.S production is with that of its major rivals. The Hackett Group, a global consulting firm, however, argues that the jobs created through near-sourcing will be a near wash because of continued outsourcing.
"The export manufacturing sector has been the unsung hero of the U.S. economy for the past few years. But this is only the beginning," said Harold Sirkin, a BCG senior partner and co-author of the study. "The U.S. is becoming one of the lowest-cost producers of the developed world, and companies in Europe and Japan are taking notice."
The U.S. will have a manufacturing cost advantage of between 5 percent and 25 percent over Germany, Italy, France, the U.K. and Japan in various industries, according to BCG. Average U.S. manufacturing costs in 2015 will be 8 percent lower than in the U.K., 15 percent lower than in Germany and France, 21 percent lower than in Japan and 23 percent lower than in Italy, according to the study. Although BCG estimates manufacturing costs in China will still be on average 7 percent cheaper than in the U.S., American producers still save on transportation, duties and other costs.
Lower natural gas prices could help the U.S. snatch up to 4 percent of exports from four European competitors and up to 7 percent from Japanese counterparts, equaling about $90 billion in additional annual exports. Natural gas costs are expected to remain 50 to 70 percent cheaper in the U.S. than in Europe and Japan.
BCG adds U.S. exporters of goods to Asia also enjoy cheaper transportation costs than their European competitors. U.S producers who ship to Japan, for instance, spend 59 percent less on transportation than their European rivals.

Google, Depomed: After-Hours Trading
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of Google (GOOG) jumped in late trades on Thursday after the Internet search giant trounced Wall Street's earnings expectations for its third-quarter results.
"We had a great quarter," said Larry Page, CEO of Google, in a statement. "Revenue was up 33% year on year and our quarterly revenue was just short of $10 billion. Google+ is now open to everyone and we just passed the 40 million user mark. People are flocking into Google+ at an incredible rate and we are just getting started!"
The company reported non-GAAP earnings of $3.18 billion, or $9.72 a share, for the three months ended in September. Revenue totaled $9.72 billion. Excluding traffic acquisition costs of $2.21 billion, revenue came in at $7.51 billion. The average estimate of analysts polled by
Thomson Reuters was for earnings of $8.74 a share for the quarter on revenue of $7.22 billion.
The stock was last quoted at $594.50, up 6.4%, on volume of 1.31 million, according to Nasdaq.com. Based on a regular session close at $558.99, the shares were down roughly 7.7% so far in 2011, although they've seen a healthy bounce since plumbing a 52-week low of $473.02 on June 24.Google reported increases in both paid clicks and cost-per-click on year-over-year basis but did see a decline of 5% in cost-per-click on a sequential basis.
DepomedThe big loser after Thursday's closing bell was Depomed (DEPO), which disappointed with the clinical results of a late-stage trial of Serada, its proposed drug to treat menopausal hot flashes. The shares plunged 27% to $4.60 in extended trading with volume running above 405,000, according to Nasdaq.com. Depomed said efficacy data from the phase III trial of Serada was "positive and statistically significant for three of the four pre-specified primary endpoints of frequency and severity at four and 12 weeks" and that data for key secondary endpoints at 24 weeks didn't achieve "statistical significance." The company said the safety data found the tablets were well-tolerated and that it plans to discuss "possible pathways" for a new drug application with the Food and Drug Administration.

Press champion speaks
Pentagon Papers lawyer addresses NSA
KENT — The man who defended The New York Times' right to publish the Pentagon Papers 42 years ago says the government's culture of lies has never really gone away.
James C. Goodale, chief counsel for the Times when the Pentagon Papers were published and the federal government took the paper to court over it, spoke at the Kent Memorial Library on Saturday about his new book "Fighting for the Press: the Inside Story of the Pentagon Papers and Other Battles."

Syfy Has Ordered a 12 Monkeys Pilot. So, Yeah…
- Monday August 26, 2013
Syfy has ordered a pilot for a series based on the Terry Gilliam movie 12 Monkeys. The bad news? It's been written by writers from Fox's Terra Nova.
Syfy has ordered a pilot for a series based on the Terry Gilliam movie 12 Monkeys. The bad news? It's been written by writers from Fox's Terra Nova.
Helmer Rian Johnson has released a free audio file that repeat viewers of his time-travel movie can take into theaters for added insight.
Here's the problem with most time-travel movies: They're about time travel. Not that subverting the space-time continuum and hop-skipping all over the past and future isn't cool — it's totally cool — but so many stories about it have already been told it's hard to make a new one. Looper is not a time-travel movie. It's a film that, smartly, simply uses the invention of time travel as the jumping off point for a compelling tale — instead of making it the tale itself. And in doing so director Rian Johnson, who also wrote the script, has made a film that brings the concept of time travel full-circle. It's also one hell of a ride.
When Rian Johnson makes a movie, he's really making three. The first film is a love letter to a genre: In 2005's Brick, it was detective noir; in 2008's The Brothers Bloom, it was the con-man movie. The second is his twist on that genre: The molls and dicks of Brick were teens, and The […]
We're a little shaken, folks. After seeing Looper, we became worried — OK, maybe "obsessively terrified" is a more fitting phrase — that our future selves would show up and be way, way more badass than we are. Our only hope, clearly, is to imagine what 30 years will do to our appearance and then […]
Time travel is tricky. Not because science hasn't figured out how to make it a real thing, but because anytime it's used as a storytelling device, the plot can be compromised by the type of mind-bending paradoxes that can ruin suspension of disbelief. Rian Johnson's latest film Looper, out Friday, is a time-travel flick that avoids nearly all of that. By focusing on a smart, character-driven story instead of getting bogged down in the "what if?" questions, Johnson's film stays above the fray. Although it does dip its toe in a trope or two, it manages to avoid many of them. In honor of Looper's smart storytelling, Wired is taking a trip back in time to revisit some the best time-travel flicks of the past. Click through the gallery above for a guided tour of some of the finest space-time-shifting tropes on film.
Time-travel flick Looper is set in 2044 — a time when America is verging on dystopia and assassins called "loopers" are hired by criminal syndicates to kill enemies sent back from the future. Making that world seem authentic was one of the challenges of filming Looper, and keeping it real meant that it didn't look too perfect — vehicles still break down and even three decades in the future cellular networks still don't have full coverage out in the sticks. And in order to make the on-screen world look legit, the filmmakers had to make Joseph Gordon-Levitt look and sound like a younger version of Bruce Willis.
There are quite a few things that set director Rian Johnson's Looper apart from the average sci-fi action flick. First off, it's got an interesting sci-fi twist where criminal syndicates use time travel as a way to assassinate people the baddies need to have put out of commission. Second, it's score was composed of "instruments" made from sounds collected on the streets of the Big Easy.
Screw the snare drum. To create a spooky soundtrack suited to the sinister world of sci-fi hitman flick Looper, composer Nathan Johnson designed a virtual drum kit featuring the clicks of a prop pistol.
Time travel might be the hook for Looper, but writer-director Rian Johnson said his thriller about a hit man (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who tries to murder his future self (Bruce Willis) does not overwork the pretzel logic inherent in wormwhole-riddled dramas.

Changes made to Volusia Co. crossing guard schedules
Volusia County has seen dozens of accidents in the past couple of years of children getting hit by cars on their way to school.
As of result, some changes to crossing guard schedules are being made.
Elementary school street crossings will now be staffed from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m., instead of the staggered schedule of years past.
Deputies believe the new schedule at 94 crossings will assure guards are out to help kids who head to school early for breakfast programs.
Afternoon crossings will remain staggered because release times vary from school to school.

In April 1851 the government granted the Destitute Board access to part of the barracks complex next to Government House on North Terrace. The destitute moved into their new quarters on 10th May 1851. It became the Destitute Asylum and a place where the aged, poor and chronically sick were looked after and kept alive. The Asylum was not abandoned until 1917.
Destitute Asylum 1850's – 1860's
The term 'asylum' was often used in the early nineteenth century, in England, the United States and Australia. It referred to the use of a building or group of buildings where institutional care was provided. The asylum allowed regularity, supervision and control. It provided economies of scale and was the most efficient way of handling those who were socially dependent. Consequently, the Destitute Asylum provided institutional care for women, children, the aged, destitute and the sick. During the 1850's and 1860's the Asylum's occupancy of the barracks expanded.
The building was repaired and wings added to accommodate the increasing number of residents. In 1863 an Act was passed for the 'Regulation of the Destitute Asylum' to better regulate the government's aid to the destitute and sick. It also provided rules relating to the inmates' behaviour in the asylum. However, the Act did not address the issue of eligibility for assistance. The majority of inmates in the Asylum were aged, chronically ill, bed-ridden, crippled, blind, paralysed or diseased. Some were young or middle-aged and had no future. The Asylum also housed deserted women, children and pregnant destitute women. By the end of June 1864 there were seventy six males and sixty nine females (including children) in all these groups.
From the beginning there were children at the Asylum. During the 1860's the problem of destitute children increased. It wasn't until 1868 when the Destitute Board established institutions for state children that they were removed from the Asylum. This left the Destitute Board with responsibility for adults. Over time the Asylum became a hospital for aged and chronically ill people. On 30th June 1867 there were one hundred and sixty nine adults living in the Asylum. Of these, one hundred and fifty two were suffering from a physical disability which ensured their permanent residence in the Asylum.
Destitute Asylum 1870's – 1917
In 1870 the Asylum grew and took over the rest of the military barracks. However, applicants continued to arrive, increasingly referred by the Adelaide hospital. The Colonial Surgeon realized that he could send chronically ill patients to the Destitute Asylum and free up beds at the hospital. The Destitute Board was forced, in turn, to press for improved facilities and extra nurses to care for these people from the government. However, as there was no other alternative, public or private this only meant patients would continue to end up at the Asylum. The Adelaide Hospital did, however, send its house surgeon to visit the Asylum's inmates each day. In 1882 the government recognised the need for professional full-time medical care at the Asylum and allowed the appointment of a paid medical officer.
During the 1890's and 1900's the Destitute Asylum was usually full, with over six hundred inmates.
In 1909 and 1910 the Deakin federal government introduced a Commonwealth Old Age pension and a Commonwealth Invalid Pension which reduced the need for the Asylum. However, it wasn't until the Old Folks Home at Magill was opened in 1917 that the Destitute Asylum was finally abandoned. In 1927 the State Children's Council was absorbed into the Destitute Board and the Board was renamed the Children's Welfare and Public Relief Department (CW & PRD). In 1965 the Dunstan government abolished the CW & PRD and it was replaced by a Minister and a Director of Social Welfare.

Hong Kong will always be part of China
Updated: 2014-06-25 07:10
By Eric Sommer (China Daily)
A large number of Hong Kong residents are taking part in an informal - mainly Internet-based - poll to "determine" whether they want to have a more direct say in nominating candidates for the post of Hong Kong's "chief executive" in future elections. More than 700,000 Hong Kong residents had voted until the third day of the 10-day "referendum" organized by "Occupy Central" forces.
The central government agrees to universal suffrage in future Hong Kong elections, but has denounced the poll as "illegal" and "invalid", and emphasized that "the high degree of autonomy of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region is not full autonomy, nor a decentralized power ... the Hong Kong people who govern Hong Kong should above all be patriotic."
The poll, which some people refer to as an "informal referendum", is part of a growing wave of both officially sanctioned and informal referendums, some of them Internet-based, in many countries. Venice has just held an online unofficial "referendum" on separating from Italy; the recent referendum in Crimea resulted in the region seceding from Ukraine and rejoining Russia; and Scotland is scheduled to hold an official referendum on Sept 18 on possible independence from the United Kingdom.
But there is one arresting difference between the unofficial Hong Kong poll and many of the others that have been held or will be held in other countries. Some Hong Kong people may even try to seek independence through the poll, but more are only concerned with how candidates for elections are nominated. So the majority of Hong Kong people want to be part of China.
It is natural for people of a country to have different opinions on social, political, and economic issues. But whatever grievances some Hong Kong people may have, they appear to fully recognize the substantial benefits of being an integral part of the Chinese nation. To begin with, Hong Kong people are, for the most part, Chinese. So there is strong cultural affinity with China as a whole.
Second, some Hong Kong residents may be uncomfortable with the present state of democratic development in the SAR, but they should know that there was not even a pretense of democracy from 1841-1997 when the UK ruled Hong Kong as a colony. In fact, in the 1960s and the 1970s, Hong Kong residents held large-scale and serious anti-British demonstrations - which sometimes led to riots - against the lack of democratic rights under British rule. The era of democracy in Hong Kong began only when it was reunited with the motherland.
The Western media conveniently forget a vital fact when reporting on Hong Kong - that it was the central government that initiated Hong Kong into the modern democratic era.

Happy first day of fall! The nights are getting cooler and the days are getting shorter; is there anything more comforting than the change of season?
A few days ago I shared my favorite blushes for this time of year. Now I've gone through my collection and picked the eyeshadow shades that I gravitate to as the leaves start to change.
Shown (from bottom left): Burberry Chestnut, Burberry Mulberry, Dior Golden Savannah, NARS Galapagos, Chanel Fauve, Paul & Joe 076
You will notice a theme as you look at the products I selected. Warm tones, burgundy, brown and taupe. I really enjoy khaki tones and browns that lean warm/orange. They are effortlessly appropriate for the season. I believe the Dior and Paul & Joe palettes were limited edition but the rest of the shades are readily available. You can never go wrong with Burberry shadows and these two colors paired together or used alone are stunning.
Swatches L-R: Dior Golden Savannah, Paul & Joe palette, NARS Galapagos, Burberry Chestnut, Burberry Mulberry, Chanel Fauve
You can see just how perfect any or all of these shades are!
Shown (clockwise from bottom): MAC Fluidline in Rich Ground, Chanel New Moon, Giorgio Armani #28
One of my all time favorite gel liners is Rich Ground from MAC. It's a perfect coppery-bronze shade that has a slight red undertone to it. Chanel's New Moon is not for the faint of heart. It's extremely glittery and shimmery. It's a night time shade for me but the effect is gorgeous. Armani's eyes to kill shadow in #28 is a blend between rose gold and copper. It's wearable for daytime looks for me.
Swatches L-R: Chanel New Moon, Giorgio Armani #28, MAC Rich Ground
You can see that the Giorgio Armani shade has more pigment and a sheen where New Moon is quite glittery and more sheer. Rich Ground has amazing payoff and a shine to it that just makes my eyes pop.
Shown (clockwise from bottom) MAC Outre, MAC Saddle, MAC Cranberry, MAC Sable
Finding an eyeshadow palette to use throughout the fall can be difficult, especially if you have something very specific in mind. I would recommend putting together some of your shades from MAC or Inglot (or any brand with single shadows) and making something that's all your own. That's one of the reasons I love Z palettes. I love having the ability to switch and swap colors as my mood or season dictates. I picked a few colors from my MAC palettes that I reach for this time of year.
I hope you enjoyed my selections and got some new ideas for shades to try. I have two more Autumn picks posts left- lips and nails, so watch out for those in the next few days. Let me know some of your favorite eyeshadows for fall; I'm always on the hunt for a gem!
Like any other beauty lover I get a little nosy and wonder what products people like to travel with…you know, those essential pieces that make time away from home easy. Well, at least in terms of makeup application
As I prepare to travel for a few days I thought I'd give you a look inside my travel makeup bag and the items that made the cut for the trip.
My makeup bag itself is slightly pictured above. It was given to me as part of an entire travel set for toiletries, etc and has my initials monogrammed on the front. It's roomy and has pockets for smaller items. I've used this exclusively for any travel I've done in the last 2 years.
Primers are essential for me, especially when I'm traveling for business and meetings. I need to know my makeup won't be budging. Right now I'm favoring MAC's Prep+Prime Natural Radiance for face and for eyes I've been loving the Smashbox Photofinish. It's got a beige tone to it so it cancels out any discoloration and it really helps lock my shadows into place. MAC Face & Body has been my go-to foundation for a few months and is a welcome travel companion. It's buildable, natural coverage and doesn't break down on my combination/oily skin. All of my concealing needs will be met with Maybelline's Eraser for dark circles (the illuminating shade) and MAC's Pro longwear concealer. To set it all into place I'll be using MAC's Studio Careblend Pressed. Notice a theme? Mostly MAC, right? MAC makes amazing base makeup. Although their color line and collections grab most of the attention you shouldn't overlook some of the amazing face products they offer.
My favorite bronzer of all time has to tag along for my journey, Laura Mercier Ritual. This needs to be permanent. Yesterday. I've also got two highlighting options, the RMS Living Luminizer for a more subtle look and Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal for a bit more oomph. I always like to have a few blush options. This time I'm taking some newbies. Lorac Baked Blush in Exposed (a bright coral/peach) and Dior Mimi Bronze (a natural nude– thanks to gorgeous Andie over at Techno Cupcake for the push to get this beauty). I'm excited about giving these two some testing!
This was the hardest category. For brows I've got my trusty Anastasia brow gel and Stila Stay All Day brow in medium. I opted for the original Naked Palette because it's treated me so well on many travels in the past and I know I can count on it for daytime and nighttime looks that can be as business appropriate or dramatic as the occasion calls. I've also brought 3 of my go-to shades of Laura Mercier caviar sticks: Sugar Frost, Sandglow and Cocoa. These provide excellent glow and added drama when used as base shadows. For liner I'm bringing MAC Blacktrack Fluidline, Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner in black and tucked inside the Naked Palette I've got my number one black liner of all time- Bare Minerals Round the Clock Liner in Midnight (I have three backups I love it *that* much). I will be attending a dressy cocktail party one of the evenings so I've brought false lashes and all the gear I need to apply them. I've gotten better at this over time, but I definitely could use more practice.
(not pictured is the regular mascara I'm taking- L'oreal Butterfly)
I've not yet decided what my makeup looks are going to be so I wanted plenty of color options in the lip department. I've got a nice balm, Fresh Sugar Rose to keep things smooth. I've also brought along two of MAC's new Huggable lip colors in Touche and Out For Passion (this formula is really nice!) for nude and rosy pink options with Marc Jacobs gloss in Kissability and NARS Gold Digger to top should I feel like taking it up a notch. And of course I couldn't forget my favorite lip color- coral. I've brought two Becca items (thanks to beautiful Jenny from My Funny Valentine for the inspiration on these); their Lip and Cheek tint in Guava and their amazing Ultimate Colour Gloss in Pink Lotus (seriously, this gloss is awesome!). I've also added in Givenchy's newest lipstick Le Rouge in Rose Dressing which is a dainty but slightly intense coral.
That's it! It all fits in the bag! I've also got my favorite brushes tucked away and ready to go. One of the tips I picked up over the years is to pack my travel makeup bag a few days in advance and use only the makeup out of that bag. It will help me decide if there is something I'm missing or need to add.
It's come again. Yes, the end of another year. I wanted to share my most-reached for and most loved products of 2013. I always seem to run out of time as the holidays approach so I wanted to get this up early.
There are only two items that really wowed me this year. The first being Aura Cacia's Avocado Skin Care Oil. A miracle worker, really. I use this at night in place of moisturizer and it does amazing things for my skin. I'm on my second tube of it and a little goes a very long way. My first tube lasted over a year! The second thing is the Made From Earth Triple Berry Serum*. I've been using this for about 3 months now as my daily moisturizer and I am a total convert. I can't tell you how many comments I've gotten on Instagram about my skin and complexion looking so good. It was adding this that made a true difference. I only have about 1/4th of the bottle left. I'm going to have to get another one ASAP. I have combination/oily skin in the summer months, and I'm a little drier come winter. This is lightweight and doesn't make my skin look or feel greasy.
It was Karen of Makeup and Beauty Blog who turned me on to the three MAC products featured above. The Natural Radiance primer is a total win- how did I not hear of this before?! You must try this. I notice a huge difference when I don't use this in photographs. I had heard about MAC Face & Body for years but never tried it. After Karen's nudging I gave it a go (I'm shade N2 for reference). There hasn't been a single foundation I have ever tried that makes me love my face makeup more than this. The coverage is customizable, it never looks cakey and it's super easy to apply. I layer the Blot powder (in medium) over it for a totally flawless (well, almost) face. I finally tried the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage concealer (Shade SC-3) and I understand why so many people like this. I don't use it for undereye concealing, but it's a warrior on spot concealing and redness.
My favorites in this category were easy. For at least 6 months this year Laura Mercier Ritual was the only bronzer I used and the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfectors were the basically my go-to highlighters. I'm heart broken that Ritual was limited edition, but I hope I will find another bronzer to take it's place when I do finally run out of it. There was a period of about a month or two when I didn't even use blush- I just used Ritual as both. Recently I added the Guerlain Crazy Terracotta bronzer/blush to my daily routine and I've enjoyed pairing it with the RMS Living Luminizer for subtle yet fresh look. My initial impression of RMS Living Luminizer was that it might be too subtle, but I've come to love the glow it adds.
Swatches L-R: Guerlain Crazy Terracotta, Laura Mercier Ritual, RMS Living Luminizer, Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Moonstone
Being a blush fiend you might expect to see more favorites here. Although I loved many blushes this year (and added many beautiful ones to my collection) the three you see above stood out as blushes I used a lot- for long periods of time or blushes that I turned to when I just didn't know what to wear. All three were new to me this year. Fellow blogger and good friend J of Lil Lady's Life picked up D&G blush in Caramel for me early on and I wore it incessantly. I picked up the Dior Rosy Glow blush just after getting engaged as I wanted something that would be perfect for bridal looks. It turns out it is and just seems to look good on everyone. Laura Mercier Mocha Spice was my find of the fall and has been my most reached for of late.
Swatches L-R: Dior Rosy Glow, D&G Caramel, Laura Mercier Mocha Spice
There were two palettes that won my heart this year for their quality, pigmentation, ease of use and color selection. The first is Bare Minerals the Power Neutrals. Talk about an easy palette. It's perfect for day-to-day wear and a great travel companion. The shadows are creamy and smooth and very pigmented.
Swatches L-R: Get Ahead, Magnate, Payday, Exec, Boardroom, Schmooze, Moneymaker, Boss Lady
The other palette is the ubiquitous Laura Mercier Artist Palette released this fall. It may be difficult to find but the single versions of these shades are readily available. The palette was a great value and I've gotten so much use out of it. Actually, it's totally replaced my daily use of MAC shadows!
Swatches L-R: Espresso Bean, Truffle, Bamboo, Fresco, Primrose, Vanilla Nuts, Violet Ink, Kir Royale, Plum Smoke, African Violet, Guava, Sparkling Dew
Products in pen form were a staple for me. They get me out the door fast and stay put all day. My poor little Bare Minerals Round the Clock liner is down to a nub (don't worry, I've already purchased another) and it's easily my most favorite pencil eyeliner to date. This stuff is serious and will.not.move once you put it on. The Marc Jacobs Magic Marc'er* works in a similar way. Although it's liquid liner it has the lasting power of a gel. It's very black and very easy to use. The Stila Stay All Day brow liquid liner has revolutionized my eyebrow experience. I will never be without this. The Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks dominated my world this year. There was scarcely a day I wasn't using one (or several). Whether as a base or on their own they really work over time. Sugar Frost is my most used and it's funny that I never seem to hear about it. It's a perfect eye-brightening champagne shade; a staple for every collection. I think I need Sand Glow and Seashell. Ok, maybe I just need all of them.
Swatches L-R: Laura Mercier Twilight, Amethyst, Grey Pearl, Rose Gold, Sugar Frost, Pink Opal, Bare Minerals Midnight, Marc Jacobs Magic Marc'er, Stila Stay All Day brow in medium
Ahh, the biggest category for me in 2013. My lip choices varied so much this year. I went through distinct phases of liking and wearing exclusively one type of shade. There was the nude lip phase, and corals, then neutral-roses and face-illuminating pinks. Oh, and my continual obsession with lavender/mauve tones. I didn't really wear red a lot this year as it's kind of fallen out of favor with me. The only red I really wore was recently and that was the Marc Jacobs Lust for Lacquer gloss in Lust for Life* and it was more pink and full of golden sparkle. My favorite gloss formulas are Dior Addict, Hourglass, MAC Lustreglass, Marc Jacobs Lust for Lacquer and Buxom Lip Creams. If you think MAC lipglass is way too sticky, give Lustreglass a try. It's waaaayyy better. The Dior Lip Polish was easily my most reached for gloss of the year. That stuff is amazing and I hear a new shade is coming out soon. My favorite lipstick formulas were Dior Addict Extreme, Too Faced La Creme, Bite Luminous Creme Lipstick, Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo*, Buxom Full-On Lipstick. I generally prefer lipsticks that aren't so heavy. I find mattes dry my lips too much and so I gravitate towards glossier formulas.
Swatches L-R: MAC Lustreglass in Love Nectar, Buxom White Russian, Hourglass Nude 2, Marc Jacobs Kissability, Too Faced Cinnamon Kiss, Dior Lip Polish, Bite Fig, Hourglass Nectar, Hourglass Muse, Marc Jacobs Heart Shaped, Dior Spring Ball, Buxom Lavender Cosmos, MAC Asian Flower, Buxom Acapulco, Marc Jacobs Lust for Life
Best New Brand
This has to be the Marc Jacobs line. I was hesitant at first but as I've tried more things I am continually impressed with the quality. I just purchased one of the larger eyeshadow palettes and two more Lust for Lacquers. The lipgloss formula is so fabulous I had to include it in my favorites because it easily rivals how I feel about my Dior Addict glosses. I have a blush or two on my list that I'm sure you'll see here soon.
Best Brand Discovery
Hands-down Laura Mercier. I had a few Laura Mercier products as I entered 2013 and I now have a full arsenal! I purchased several caviar sticks, single eyeshadows and base products from the line and I have only been disappointed once. I guess in 2014 I will have to try lipstick and gloss from the line as I don't think I have tried any yet!
Biggest Fails
I didn't have too many fails this year but there are a few that stand out. The Marc Jacobs mascara was not my cup of tea and the new Laura Mercier powder foundation failed to perform to her normally very high standards. I once again tried to like YSL lipstick and purchased a rouge volupte shine which I promptly returned after discovering it (like all other YSL lipsticks) dried my lips worse than winter in Chicago. I was totally unimpressed with a Clinique blush I purchased (the shade was Aglow) after it looked beautiful on my arm and had to be packed on to show up on my face. It went back.
2013 was a year of changes. My first full year in Chicago, getting engaged, losing my dad… it had definite highs and devastating lows. I look forward to what 2014 will bring and all of the beauty adventures I will have along the way. Look for my next favorites installment where I talk about my random favorites, favorite bloggers/vloggers and more. What were some of your stand out products of 2013? Did you have any memorable beauty moments this year?
There is always that one awkward post wherein the beauty lover succumbs to the change of season and writes the first post geared towards the one coming up in lieu of enjoying the one at hand. And so we find ourselves talking about my top choices for lip color this fall. I won't be adding nudes in this post because I'll be featuring some of my favorites in a separate post.
There is only one matte formula in the bunch as mattes are probably my least favorite formula. They tend to be drying and I've had trouble with mattes making every line in my lip magnified and pronounced. Not pleasant. However, the Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick is the exception to the rule (as almost every Hourglass product is). The rest are either glossy or semi-glossy in finish.
I recently picked up two items from the Dior counter- Ensorcelante and New York. I have this terrible habit (or OCD tendency) to buy Dior lip products in pairs only. Is that odd? I have to buy a lipstick and a gloss to match. I think it's because I love Dior lip products that much that I know if I love a gloss or lipstick in a particular shade I know I will end up wanting a matching one to make the set. I didn't care for the fall lipstick Dior released to go along with Ensorcelante- it was far more dark and vampy than I'd use to pair with the gloss. I even tried them on together and decided it was not for me. I set out to swatch other shades and New York was the perfect match. It's plummy and nude and has a gorgeous shimmer. How have I not heard of this shade before?! It pays to play at the counter I guess!
I didn't realize before setting down to swatch how close MAC Craving, Plumful and Too Faced Cinnamon Kiss are. There are nuances, of course, but they are very similar. I love the Too Faced La Creme formula and would easily get every shade they make.
Swatches L-R: MAC Rebel, Maybelline Color Whisper A Plum Prospect, MAC Craving, MAC Plumful, Too Faced Cinnamon Kiss, Dior Addict New York, NARS Strawberry Fields, NARS Bougainville, Dior Ensorcelante, Hourglass Empress*
I really enjoy the Maybelline Color Whisper formula. I prefer it to Revlon's Lip Butters (though I only own two of the former and many more of the latter). A Plum Prospect is coming up a little bit brighter in the photo than it is in real life. A very lovely color, though.
NARS glosses are among my most favorite formula. These two are particularly creamy and pigmented and in shades that were made for cool Autumn days.
MAC Rebel is in a class by itself. It's reputation precedes it, no doubt. It's bright, in your face and so so pretty.
And for good measure, I posted these FOTDs to my Instagram wearing the new Dior products I picked up:

Are you ready for the fall makeup collections? I know that this summer has been quite hot and I'm enjoying the cooler reprieve we have had lately. I don't know that I'm quite ready to let go of summer completely, though!
I called this post July Favorites but really, this is more like "Mid-Summer" Favorites. I've been steadily using all or most of these products throughout June and July.
Tarte BB Tinted Primer*- I've been using this on and off since getting it earlier this year. It's a thicker consistency and incredibly pigmented. It wears all day on me and I don't need to powder when I do. Amazing! A word of warning- the shade I have is called "Light" but it is more like a medium shade in most other lines. I'm about NC35 and it suits me just right.
Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation*- This foundation isn't new to me but Hourglass recently released more shades (hooray!) and I have been using new shade Natural on days when my self-tan has slightly faded (Ivory is a nice match when I'm more tanned). It wears all day on me and it really does feel like a liquid to powder. This is by far my most favorite foundation. Oily-skinned gals- this one's for you!
NARS Cactus Flower- Get your hands on this while you can! NARS is discontinuing their cream blush line. No word as to whether or not they are reformulating (my guess would be that they are). Cactus Flower is the perfect pinky-coral (Watermelon??) with a slight sheen. The sheen looks more intense in the pan and swatch then on the face. It's drier and not tacky, more cream-to-powder which I think adds to the longevity. Gorgeous!
Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow in Rose Gold- I've post about this magical product before and have been reaching for it everyday. It's not packed with shimmer but somehow adds the most ethereal glow and isn't at all greasy.
Laura Mercier Ritual- I have been using this almost every single day since buying it months ago. I can't get enough. It might just be my most favorite bronzer ever! I apply it with a MAC 138 for the perfect mix between contour and sunkissed cheeks. If you can still find it I highly, highly recommend this! Don't let the shimmer in the pan or swatch fool you- there is no shimmer visible on the face.
L-R: Tarte BB Tinted Primer Light, Hourglass Immaculate in Nude and Ivory, Laura Mercier Ritual, NARS Cactus Flower, Jemma Kidd Rose Gold
For eyes I have been going for golds and browns in matching creams and powders- perfect pairing for the hot summer weather. I find that pairing a cream under the powder shadows helps the look wear longer and intensifies the colors. I have done this every day in July- the hottest month for us this year so far!
Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer- My favorite eye primer at the moment. Much better than Urban Decay and cancels out discoloration. It's drier and less greasy feeling than Urban Decay's offering. If you had poor luck with that I would definitely give this a try.
Lancome Hypnose Drama- A staple. My favorite mascara of all time. I even convinced mymom's best friend to buy it on a recent trip to Sephora.
Tarte SmoulderEyes in Brown*- I have had this for a long time but have been getting a lot more use out of it after discovering it was the perfect base for a bronzey smokey eye. It pairs wonderfully with my next shadow…
NARS Galapagos- Another product I've neglected too much. I've been wearing Galapagos every day for a few weeks in various forms. It's great as a liner or buffed in as a shadow and is great layered over the brown from Tarte.
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Sugar Frost- These sticks have received a lot of praise, and for good reason. They are easy to use and wear until you take them off. Perfect on their own or layered.
Smashbox Limitless 15 Hour Cream Shadow Quartz- I met with a Smashbox makeup artist at ULTA one day. I went in for a new sunless tanner and came out with a huge new stock of Smashbox thanks to the beautiful Vanessa. For some reason I have always overlooked this line, but not any more! This shadow is fabulous (and their best selling shade). It wears all day and is perfect for bridal looks.
Urban Decay Easy Baked- This shade was released earlier this year. It's gorgeous and might be my favorite shadow they have ever released! I use it all the time. It's the perfect gold-almost tan. Maybe I'd describe it has honey? Either way it's delicious and has a place in everyone's collection.
L-R: Urban Decay Easy Baked (over Smashbox Primer), Galapagos (over Smashbox Primer), Smashbox Primer, NARS Galapagos, Urban Decay Easy Baked, Smashbox 15 Hour Limitless Quartz, Laura Mercier Sugar Frost, Tarte SmoulderEyes Brown
For lips I have been favoring glossy lip products that have a creamy or lightweight feel. In the summer I always gravitate towards corals and peaches but lately I've been adding pinks and rose tones to the mix.
MAC Pink Pearl Pop- This shiny pink lipstick caught my attention in May. It was sold out at two different stores I went to and after falling in love with how it looked in store I knew I had to order it. This is definitely a hidden gem in MAC's line! I think it came out last year but it does add a beautiful pop of glossy pink to the lips- swoon!
Too Faced La Creme in I Want Candy- I am pretty sure I saw Michele1218 wearing this in a video somewhat recently. I was already a fan of the line and was happy to add this beautiful rosy pink to my collection.
Dior Addict Extreme in Spring Ball- This is probably my favorite line of lipstick ever! I have 4 shades and definitely need more. Spring Ball was released earlier this year. I think I got the matching gloss first and was convinced I need the lipstick. I was right….I definitely needed it. Creamy, pigmented and glossy these lipsticks are worth every penny!
Pur Lip Gloss Stick in Coraline- An impulse buy at the cash register of ULTA. I needed my purchase to be a higher dollar amount to use my coupon and I saw these and quickly added it to my bag. I'm glad I did. It's a beautiful coral-orange shade that has great wear time and feels like a balm.
Lancome Gloss in Love Peach Show- I had to get this after LisaLisaD1 raved about it on Youtube. I LOVE the color. I think my boyfriend would choose this as his favorite color in my collection. It's a peachy-nude color that is face-brightening, but in a subtle way. The only problem is the formula is not my favorite. It's one of those glosses that starts out creamy and turns kind of tacky as it wears on. I don't think I will get any more shades in the line based on my experience with this one. The color is just too lovely to pass it up and if anyone knows of a dupe in another line I'd love to hear about it!
Dior Lip Polish (02)- This is by far the best lipgloss I have ever used. It even topped my Clarins Lip Perfectors, which I didn't think could be done. It adds just a touch of pink glow and the formula is not tacky, sticky or scented. It glides on smoothly, wears well and goes with everything and nothing. Go, buy this RIGHT NOW.
Dior Addict Glosses in Venus and Diablotine- Again, Dior nailed this formula. It's the best! Venus is perfect shimmering nude to wear layered over anything and looks equally good on it's own. Diablotine is a nice shimmering coral-red. Perfect for summer and I do really need to get the matching lipstick.
L-R: Dior Diablotine, Dior Venus, Dior Lip Polish, Lancome Peach Show, Pur Coraline, Dior Spring Ball, Too Faced I Want Candy, MAC Pink Pearl Pop
Whew. That was longer than I anticipated! That's what I get for not doing favorites every month! Do you have any recommendations? What have you been loving lately?

TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Introduces SureSelect Strand-Specific RNA Library Preparation Kit
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced the SureSelect Strand-Specific RNA Library Preparation Kit for whole transcriptome and targeted RNA sequencing.
The new kit enables researchers to prepare high-quality, strand-specific libraries for next-generation sequencing. The ability to gain valuable strand-specific information from RNA-sequencing experiments allows researchers to more easily discern overlapping transcripts and investigate antisense expression for greater understanding of gene regulation.
The kit has been optimized to provide outstanding sequencing performance and uniform coverage of the entire transcript. This is achieved through greater library complexity and less 5'/3' bias, even with small amounts of starting material (as low as 50 ng). The kit has also been designed to be as complete as possible, including master-mixed reagents and a streamlined workflow for less hands-on time and faster results.
"Strand-specific RNA-sequencing library preparation is the latest addition to Agilent's next-generation sequencing/gene-regulation portfolio, which offers the most complete integrated solutions from sample to analysis," said Yong Yi, Agilent associate director of marketing for genomics. "We are thrilled to provide another highly sensitive tool that will advance understanding of how gene regulation governs normal and aberrant biological processes."Other key products in Agilent's gene-regulation portfolio include SureSelect human methyl-seq, targeted RNA-seq, gene expression and miRNA microarrays, GeneSpring data analysis software, 2100 Bioanalyzer, and 2200 TapeStation. About Agilent in Genomics Agilent Technologies Inc. is a global leader in target enrichment for next-generation sequencing and genomic microarrays. The Agilent SureSelect and HaloPlex target-enrichment systems enable researchers to easily choose which segments of a genome to sequence, avoiding the time and expense needed to sequence the entire genome. HaloPlex and its same-day sample-to-sequencer workflow is well suited for next-generation desktop sequencers, whereas SureSelect's ability to accurately capture whole exomes and whole methylomes in a single reaction pairs well with high-throughput next-generation sequencing systems. These are just two products arising from Agilent's expertise in synthesizing custom complex mixtures of long oligonucleotide gained in microarray manufacturing. Additional product lines built on this core technology include microarrays for genome-wide measurement of gene expression and for comparative genomics hybridization, as well as SureFISH, a highly specific and sensitive oligonucleotide fluorescent in situ hybridization product line. In addition to oligonucleotide-based products, Agilent offers a microfluidic bioanalyzer to measure sample quality, a target-enrichment tool to speed next-generation sequencing, and a full set of reagents, hardware, methods and bioinformatics software for genomic experiments.

Warming Up For The GOP Veepstakes
By editor
One choice that's not necessarily around the corner, but is certainly taking up a lot of time in Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney's camp is the shortlist for potential running mates. That is, of course, IF he wins the nomination. Host Rachel Martin talks with Republican strategist Mark McKinnon about the possible strategies Romney may use.

We're making a list of our complaints so I'll suggest an early compliant before we leave the funniest thing is he is the manager of Blacktown
Sam #2 spoke to the Penrith manager yesterday after we discovered our TA had not fixed any of the transfer times I went & fixed 2 weeks ago so she knows the whole situation, lovely Christina filled her in & she fixed the transfer times on the spot for us so if we can change our contact to one of these ladies we'll be cheering! She wasn't 100% sure but she thinks our Hollywood hotel has been booked but of course no communication from our TA to confirm
Tossing up how to package their things at the moment, thinking of just wrapped them up so we don't have an extra bag to carry or throw out. They can unwrap & go straight into their carry on bags
Thanks for the offer Minnie Sue! That would be great to get some photos as a group & to of course meet you & DD
Ohh that gives me some ideas! I went eBay trawling (sticking to items in Aus for quick post) last night after reading this & I'm looking at face washers, princess pens, princess badges & it was princess post it notes but I'm going to decorate mini note pads instead with Disney stickers and maybe make bookmarks.
I'm going to go down to the Plaza as soon as I can to look for the Disney tissues, I wish Kleenex still have their mini Disney packs I loved them lol I have seen those Disney bars at Target before (packs of 6 for $2?) but couldn't find them at the three I went to these holidays : will check again though!
let us know how your bid goes Minnie Sue
I wish we'd booked it ourselves now because it was suppose to elevate our stress not add to it
Although she may not admit it your DD will love anything you get together for her Beee
I fully expect laughter from my friends but I don't care I'm having fun doing it!
Photo pass+ has arrived and I realised we're over there for the presidential election so that'll be interesting! Totally forgot we'd be there for it lol strange that they do them on a Tuesday & hopefully there is no impact on our day at Sea World lol
Sam #2 has asked for NYC advice: must do's & ticket suggestions please they'll be there for 4 full days plus a night.

Wish I could help your friends out on the NYC sid eof things, but haven't been to that side of the country....................yet!!!
Wow, tomorrow you will be able to do the single digit dance...............now THAT is exciting!!!!
The tissues I have are Disney Kleenex ones, Winnie the Pooh in fact, and I bought them at the Reject Shop for around $2.00!!! I also have Cars ones, but I am not too sure I have seen them again!
Maybe you could pop the pressies for the girls in a toiletry/cosmetic zipper bag. It's something light, they can keep it and it may come in handy on the trip!!! I bought a cute Minnie Mouse one to put our small digital camera in that is vinyl and waterproof for occasions like Splash Mountain and Grizzly River rapids!!!
Oh and if you are looking for face washers, Best and Less have the coolest sort where they come in a little square, you add water to them, and hey presto, you have a full size washer! They have heaps of charcaters too like Minnie, all the princesses, Cars, Buzz and Woody etc! They are usually on the counter!
We too will be there for the election. Should be interesting!!!
And I think Blacktown needs a new manager!!!!

The complaint letter is being editing at the moment and will be taken into Penrith in the next few days. Still no communication from original TA about anything
I got the Winnie the Pooh tissues, 6 for $2 in the Reject shop and I got the Disney chocolate bars in Target, 6 for $2 and I found activity pads for $3 in Target to finish them off. I tried looking for them for the past fortnight, found 1 lone one at one Target & gave it a miss. I fluked finding them today but score
I considered the vinyl comestic bags off eBay & gave it a miss and Best & Less only had Woody or Buzz in the Disney magic washers but oh well I think they have enough now
To do list is getting smaller at least! Booked our Sea World Transfers and Grand Canyon Helicopter flight yesterday and bought my T-Mobile sim about 5 minutes ago
I started to make piles in our spare room of clothes and things I'm taking, carry on is packed now but eveything else is just in piles and I'll pack my suitcase on Sunday so my clothes aren't sitting around getting crushed for no reason
I'm kicking myself about this travel card though, I freaked about Mastercard the day I went to do it and decided to do ANZ Visa and since that day the rates have been under $1 and is currently 0.9748 please go back up by next Monday or at least stay put! I feel like a brat saying that considering what the exchange rate could be Thank goodeness its an over the counter card.
Blacktown definatly needs a new manager
Call going out again for help for Sam #2 for ideas of what to do in NYC pretty please

Hope that TA gets whats coming!! I dont trust them
Anyway we were in NYC for 4 days - OMG what a whirlwind!!
We did all the touristy things - which is great, but I wish we had time to take it slowly- its a place to soak up and feel it.
But, this is what we did
Arrival evening - Empire State Building - this can have lengthy queues but we got lucky and didnt have to wait long at all, Macys and Times Square -
Day 2 - Musuem of Natural History, Central Park, 5th Avenue shopping, FAO Schwartz, Tiffanys, - Top of the Rock. - TBH would skip the museum and spend more time in the park.
Day 3 - Subway to Battery Park - Statue of Liberty -we had tickets to climb the crown, probably too late for her to get them now, but was definitely a highlight for us.
World Trade Centre Memorial -
Shopping at Century 21.
Subway to Brooklyn, walk back to Manhatten across the Brooklyn Bridge.
(if I had more time I would not do this all on the one day, not only were we stuffed, but felt like I had walked a marathon, as in we covered a lot of ground, but didnt see anything! Could spend a day on the Brooklyn side alone )
Day 4 - Shopping in SOHO, DD was on a mission for a formal dress, Grand Central Station, general wandering. My DH and two sons took the subway to Coney Island this day (it was closed! )- we saw Cirque Du Soleil that evening at the Radio City Music Hall.
Day 5 - Departure day, we had until about 11:00 - so some last minute photography and shopping in Times Square.
I hope she is prepared for cooler temperatures, we had come straight from the oppressive heat of Orlando and had to buy coats the first evening. This was early October last year.

I got horridly ill when in nyc and so our 3.5 day plan got scrapped and we only had 1 day to do everything. If sam 2 and 3 want maximum travel around nyc to see things i highly recommend the hop on hop off tour. There is a 24, 48 or 72 hour loops tours where they get unlimited rides on the uptown and downtown loops which stop at all the big tourist spots. You also get the night tour and a brooklyn tour.
We did the uptown tour and the night tour, did rockefeller plaza shopping, had lunch at rays pizza joint, saw engine company 54 tribute to 9/11, saw the veterans day parade, did some shopping on 5th, 6th, 7th aves, walked through the diamond district, explored times square and went nuts in the disney and toys r us stores in times square in the few hours we had on our last day. Oh and most stores in times square are open either 24/7 or close at like 3am. I made the mistake of asking at one store how late they were open and they looked at me like i insulted their mother. I had to explain that in qld, australia there are laws governing how late certain shopping stores can be open... I had never felt like such a tourist.. Moral of the story is in that part of the city they could still be out and commando touring at 2am if they wished, if they really want to pack in a lot into their days..
If your friends are unsure about what to do or have concerns about getting from point a to b, i recommend the hop on hop off buses. They give you peace of mind, flexibility, a reliable timetable, are clean and safe and well looked after and they will find that the guides are all really interesting and lively new yorkers who will tell them lots about the history of nyc, where various famous people live, history of the architecture etc. We found it to be an amazing experience.
The 72 hour loops tour cost us 48 dollars and we thought it was decent value. We know the subway and local bus system was there and we might feel comfortable enough to use it on our next trip but for a first trip we went with the option that gave us the most peace of mind.

battymum has given you some good NYC tips. I would just add that if you do catch the subway and walk the brooklyn bridge, have lunch at Grimaldi's. One of the the oldest pizza joints in NYC. There will be a line outside but it is worth it.

it might be worth the AP price if you are interested in adorable collectibles -- and minniesue, i thought with your love of minnie, and she being the first character in the collection available during october, and them being released in sets of 2 -- you might be interested
Oooooooohhhhhhh........they are wonderful! And to think they are releasing Minnie first........they must have known I was coming
Thank you so much for thinking of me! I have my annual pass all ready to go!!!

I've passed on the NYC info to Sam #2 so we'll see what they organise thanks everyone
TA sent Bec a message yesterday (he reckons he tried calling but no missed call or voice mail so he's full of it ) anywho Bec called back & he basically complained about Sam #2 going into Penrith and said they had printed the wrong forms for us, who blo0dy knows anymore he also said he was posting stuff out yesterday but we've heard that one before I'm so over it, we should not be chasing things a week before leaving.
Got my hair chopped yesterday so it's easier to manage while in the US, leg wax booked in & thinking I'll book a massage next Wednesday I've also organised my T-mobile sim & went through the loooooong process of unlocking and restoring my iPhone lol
Still hoping the exchange pops up just a little more
Woop woop single digit dance is in full swing 8 sleeps to go

Woohoo for the single digit dance
AND... a possible massage Sounds like it will be just what you need to relax you for your trip after the stresses of planning and dealing with your less than capable TA.
