The city of San Rafael reported a slight overall drop in violent crime between 2011 and last year, but robberies rose from 65 to a 10-year high of 84, according to the California Department of Justice.
San Rafael police Chief Diana Bishop said she was particularly concerned about the increase in gun-related crimes. There were 25 robberies and assaults involving guns last year, compared with 18 the year before.
"We're trying to look at people who have firearms in their background, where they're probationers, gang members, parolees, and trying to keep track of them," Bishop said.
San Rafael property crimes rose 22 percent last year, to 1,785. However, the previous year was a 10-year low of 1,473, compared with a 10-year high of 2,052.
San Rafael police Detective Sgt. Mike Vergara said burglaries ebb and flow in all areas of the city, such as a recent Peacock Gap series that went away with increased patrols.
"Burglary has a tendency to fluctuate from time to time," Vergara said. "It spikes and then it levels off. We had some spikes. ... That keeps us busy. We definitely encourage people to lock their doors and take precautions."
The California Department of Justice releases its annual report on crime statistics the summer after the calendar year. The report includes eight categories: homicide, forcible rape, robbery, assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, theft and arson.
The data for San Rafael do not include unincorporated area such as Marinwood, Lucas Valley, Santa Venetia and Los Ranchitos, which are covered by the Marin County Sheriff's Office.

Although I'm currently embroiled in the process of blogging beautiful G-cup busty blonde Lilly over on MyBoobSite, I just had to take a crack at composing a pussy blog simultaneously as Lilly's luscious labia lips are a sight to behold! Thus, because big breast lovers are probably bored with my banging on about the exquisite natural beauty of the female genitalia, I thought I'd try my hand at parallel blogging.
From the moment I first saw the following photos, an instant fantasy began to form involving lovely Lilly laying naked spread-eagle on a bed with me perched prone between her slender legs, my mouth positioned precariously close to to those perfect pink pussy flaps of hers. Easing forward but millimetres, I allow my lips to lightly brush against her labia before moving upward to press my tongue against her clitoris. With one arm wrapped underneath each of her tender thighs and around that gorgeous tight ass to take hold of her hips, I pull her firmly down against my now-open mouth and commence slowly licking her clit whilst relocating my hands to rest upon her tight tummy. As I feel the delicate feminine finery of her pussy begin to swell – engorged with blood from my gentle oral administrations – I close my lips around her vulva and begin sucking as I lick the length of her sublime pussy slit as she moans her approval, the growing moisture of of her natural lubrication seeping out and mixing with my own saliva in a sort of sensual stew. Unable to resist the urge to penetrate her pussy, I sense the toned muscles of her athletic thighs tense as I plunge my eager tongue into her invitingly wet vagina, extending it as far as I can reach then licking up her vaginal wall until I reach an appropriate position to apply pressure against the underside of her erect clitoris. Awakening my right hand from its restful slumbers upon her warm belly and stopping to toy with her pierced navel along the way, my fingers travel to the top of her clit to participate in a finger & tongue massage, the continuing clitoral dual-stimulation ultimately giving way to an intense orgasm wherein she floods my waiting mouth with her succulent vaginal juices. My soaked face still buried deep within her crotch, my nose drawing in the sweet scent of her sex with every breath, I glance upwards over her belly and through the fleshy valley of cleavage formed between the nipple-topped hills of her big breasts only to witness the wonder of those captivating blue eyes meeting mine as a sexually contented smile crosses her radiant visage. "I could just lay here for hours," I muse, "lost in those twin ocean-blue pools of lust." But then, suddenly, I remember that I'm supposed to be blogging!
Eh, I guess fantasies come a dime a dozen and, certainly, cannot compare to the value of beholding the sublime beauty that is Lilly for yourself. And so, I'll stop whittering on and just show you the pretty pussy pics from the gorgeous young girl who served as my inspiration for this waking wet-dream – 32G Lilly from Lilly-Exposed.com:
Share and Enjoy

There are few things in life that truly get better with age. But if you ask Claude Zellweger, principal and creative director of One & Co., he will tell you the company's redesigned office space located in a turn-of-the-century warehouse is just one such thing. "Often you move into a beautiful place that you are excited about but then start noticing its hidden flaws. It's the opposite here. The longer we use it, the more beautiful and brilliant it gets."
As one of three highly creative and successful minds behind One & Co., an award-winning industrial design firm based in San Francisco, Zellweger knows beauty and functional brilliance when he sees it. The firm's mission is driven by an informed intuition that combines business and creativity, art and science, and, of course, intelligence and beauty, as well as a commitment to making meaningful products that resonate with their clients and their clients' customers. From Microsoft to The North Face, TiVo to K2, the goal is to have every product make major impact. So too was the goal for Cary Bernstein, principal of San Francisco-based Cary Bernstein Architect, as One & Co. outgrew its 3,000-sq.-ft. space and merged into one more than twice the size at 6,500 sq. ft.
With a tight schedule, during which time the firm needed to remain operational, and an equally tight budget, Bernstein critically considered each design decision. "Every element of the space had to have multiple impact and do double duty. Every single move we made had a value system attached to it, which informed the entire aesthetic," Bernstein explains. Thus, the final design represents a judicious use of limited budget for maximum effect, where custom, highly-crafted details blend deftly with off-the-shelf materials. Not only were construction costs kept to less than $100 per sq. ft. and the space considered a major success by all involved, but One & Co. also recently received the Honor Award from the IIDA-NC in the Small Workplace category. "We did not let budget affect our purpose. The client and I worked hand-in-hand to create a space that accurately and appealingly communicates who they are," Bernstein adds.
Bernstein and the One & Co. team decided to focus their resources on the communal areas and front of the house spaces where clients are hosted. "We are an image-driven company," says Zellweger. "Our clients will judge us by the space we work in as much as they will judge the architect." The receiving area, in particular, had to be dynamic and immediately offer a sense of the firm's sensibility and aesthetic. That said, the back of the house and support details were not overlooked. "It was essential for the entire space to have an integrated, unified feel," says Bernstein. "The use of natural light, an open floor plan, and cohesive design details convey inclusiveness both visually and functionally."
Open, free-flowing communication and an unobstructed, non-hierarchical corporate structure are key to One & Co.'s business and design philosophy. Thus, individual workspaces are relatively small in size, which encourages staff to utilize numerous meeting areas. The open plan takes advantage of the space's generous windows to the south and east, setting more discreet uses like the "war rooms" with erasable fabric boards, kitchen, and fabrication room along interior walls. With a comprehensive view, the space offers a sophisticated, minimalist vibe, but does so in a comfortable, almost residential way. Bernstein believes this is due, in part, to the firm's bold, eye-catching choice of accent color—pink. "This is not the typical San Francisco eco color palette. It is exciting, fresh, and adds a distinctly memorable quality," she remarks. Zellweger adds, "We do a lot of color trend research for our clients, and as a firm we tend to go through color phases. This was clearly our pink phase," he chuckles.
Blending original elements of the warehouse, like white painted brick, with new elements including sleek lighting and glass curtainwalls, was critical, as was incorporating One & Co.'s products into the new space. Each piece, like the Periodic Table for Council placed in the receiving area, and the Crease tile, designed by One & Co. in collaboration with Heath Ceramics, used at the reception desk, have dramatic presence. "The client enjoys minimalist details, but this takes a bit of finesse in an old funky warehouse space," says Bernstein. "Yet there is a certain joy when you have to work around imperfect elements. It's a challenge and takes rigor, but it's very satisfying."
Zellweger and his team are thrilled with how the firm successfully communicates its design sensibility through its clean, modern architecture, but does so in a playful way that does not take itself too seriously. "This is a productive, happy space for our team that also provides clients with a pleasant, forward-thinking shock of the unexpected," he concludes. Where quality design, beautiful aesthetics, and creative brilliance are concerned, it seems it's One (& Co.) for all.

As an applied, practitioner-oriented Master's, the programme is designed to support personal and professional development. This is reflected in the content, which includes developing a robust business case for sustainability, a focus on sustainability leadership aims and responses, and change management. It is also reflected in the learning journey (see Figure 1), which is focused on collaboration, reflective practice and applied learning, and includes peer-learning groups, extensive feedback and assignments that are focused on professional or institutional contexts.
Figure 1: MSt Learning Journey (click on the image to see it in larger format)
The course is structured around 15 modules, 12 of which are explored over the course of four residential workshops over the two-year programme, and three of which are e-modules. Each residential workshop looks at three modules in particular. Students engage virtually between the residential workshops through a mix of online forum-based learning, the e-modules on specific topics (e.g. leadership, philanthropy), and virtual webinars on specific topics.
It is estimated that over the course of the Master's participants will need to set aside 360 hours, apart from the 24 days of residential workshops, to complete the programme successfully. This is an average across the whole programme for a typical student, and variations in individual approaches to scheduling and learning can result in weeks where the workload may be heavier or lighter. Students are provided with all substantive tasks and deadlines at the start of the programme, so they can plan in advance in order to help spread the work evenly across the two years.
The first workshop of the sustainability Master's provides an opportunity to engage with the broad debate around sustainability, looking at global sustainability challenges (Module 1) and the nature of these challenges as systemic and complex. Students then consider the purpose and objectives of business in response to these challenges, exploring possible leadership aims (Module 2). Finally, we explore what effective leadership for change looks like, and begin to explore examples of strategic leadership responses (Module 3).
In this first workshop – and throughout the programme – the wider context in which business operates is emphasised, as well as the many actors and stakeholders within the system with which business must engage effectively in order to bring about meaningful change.
Figure 2: The broader business context covered in the first workshop and throughout the programme
The remaining three workshops provide an opportunity to explore specific leadership responses or 'levers' for changing the system (Modules 4–12), three modules at each workshop.
These levers include:
Figure 3: Levers for change (modules) considered over the course of the programme
The programme also develops participants' leadership perspectives and practices through a series of cross-cutting content over the two years:
Download an outline of the Master's modules.
Download a full list of the Master's modules.
The Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership is delivered part-time over 2 years via four week-long residential workshops and intermediate e-learning sessions.
The residential workshops encompass:
• Lectures and talks by leading academics and practitioners;
• Facilitated discussions and group activities;
• Face-to-face tutorials and supervisions to support the completion of the assignments and research dissertation;
• First-hand exposure to some of the University's impressive facilities and traditions.
Twelve interdisciplinary modules are taught over the four residential workshops and additional modules are delivered via e-learning. The first workshop introduces the sustainability challenges and a broad spectrum of leadership responses, which are then explored in more detailed over the next three workshops.
While the focus is in on leadership responses, one or two sustainability challenges are 'spotlighted' at each workshop. Cross-cutting leadership and change topics are also embedded within and/or interspersed between the sessions covering the various leadership responses.
The residential workshops are highly intensive and there is little free time; hence participants wishing to experience Cambridge's many attractions should make arrangements to do this outside the compulsory residential periods.
Workshop 1: 14–20 September 2014 Workshop 2: 28 March–2 April 2015 Workshop 3: 30 August–5 September 2015 Workshop 4: 10–16 April 2016
Workshop 1: 30 August–5 September 2015 Workshop 2: 9–15 April 2016 Workshop 3: 31 July–6 August 2016 Workshop 4: 26 March–1 April 2017
During the first academic year of the Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership, participants undertake two 3,000 word individual assignments and a group project of 5,000–7000 words. In the second academic year a research dissertation of up to 15,000 words must be completed.
All the assignments are designed to offer real business value, critically examining sustainability challenges relevant to the students' organisational and sector context, and applying learning to real-time business challenges and opportunities.
Participants complete two individual assignments of relevance to their professional settings, namely:
This consists of a detailed, critical analysis of a sustainability challenge of relevance to their organisation. The analysis makes use of relevant conceptual frameworks and theories, supported by current thinking in the field and practical examples.
Participants formulate recommendations to their organisation regarding how to respond to a sustainability challenge or opportunity. This usually builds on the Analysis Paper findings.
In parallel with the individual assignments, participants work in small groups of 6–8 to develop an original piece of thinking on a sustainability topic of mutual interest. It can take the form of a research paper, or a proposed model/tool with recommendations for its use. With the help of an expert Tutor, each group decides how to approach the project and then develops the ideas and content so that it draws on the collective experience of the group members. Participants must be willing to work collaboratively, share ideas generously and contribute to the fullest extent.
Download examples of Group Project topic areas.
Research towards a dissertation is undertaken with support and guidance from an academic supervisor. The research must follow a recognised qualitative and/or quantitative methodology, but can also take the form of applied research (e.g. action research). The research can address a topic of relevance to a specific organisation, or focus more generally on a sector, challenge or location. Participants are encouraged to choose research topics that are practically focused and of relevance in addressing pressing key sustainability challenges. The dissertations are expected to be at the same level as would be required on a full-time Master's programme.
Chris Urwin (MSt Cohort 3) presents the findings of his Master's research into climate change adaptation and community resilience at the 150th Year DNV GL Anniversary event in London in July 2014.
Read about the research undertaken by one of our Cohort 1 students, published on the University of Cambridge Research website.
Additional publication and initiatives arising from the dissertation research are listed in the MSt Student & Alumni News & Achievements page.
Read other examples of previous dissertation topics.
Virtual learning is an important part of the programme experience, providing opportunities for students to learn from each other as they engage with the latest sustainability thinking, applied to critical business issues.
Between the residential workshops, students participate in a regular e-learning programme and other non-residential learning activities, designed to complement the workshop themes and support students' learning journey. This includes:
1. Virtual tutorials and supervisions to support the assignments and dissertation process
2. Three content-based e-modules (see the indicative Module Overview download)
3. Working through preparatory curriculum documents, including prescribed readings/videos/audios, in advance of each workshop
4. Participating in content-based online forum discussions and webinars
5. Undertaking short blogging exercises.
The e-learning programme is supported by a dedicated online tutor.
A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is the main platform through which these activities are facilitated. The VLE also provides an avenue for communications between the participants and the Programme team, and to make available supplementary material, such as slides used by presenters and links to useful websites, articles, and other resources. The VLE has been developed using Moodle. This robust and user-friendly open-source software is widely used by providers of online learning, including the UK's Open University.
The Master's in Sustainability Leadership VLE can be accessed via the internet using a standard internet browser. (A username and password is required to enter the site.)

The story of Ella Fitzgerald is a classic rags to riches tale, of her ascent from a one-parent family in Yonkers, New York, to headlining at the Savoy with Chick Webb by way of winning a talent contest at the Apollo Theatre and landing her first professional gigs with bandleader Tiny Bradshaw. Once she joined Webb, in 1934, it was not long before she began to break through to a large audience, and eventually had a major hit with A-Tisket, A-Tasket (1938).
She recorded copiously both with Webb and under her own name with members of his band. She took over running the orchestra when he died of TB in 1939, but broke up the band in the early 1940s to focus on a solo career. She recorded some fine discs for Milt Gabler, her producer at Decca, but then she moved to the Verve label, set up by Norman Granz, who also directed the Jazz At The Philharmonic concerts on which she became a firm and popular fixture.
For Granz she recorded her splendid series of Songbook albums, which are some of the finest ever recorded versions of classic American songs by the likes of Kern, Gershwin, Berlin and Ellington. Fitzgerald's light, sweet, voice and perfect diction was ideal for delivering these songs, but she could also improvise and scat sing with great freedom, which made her an ideal member of the JATP touring jam sessions. She dominated the world of jazz and popular song for half a century, continuing to appear into the early 1990s when failing sight and physical frailty finally ended her career.

Aloha, 2014! Best places to watch Hawaii New Year's Eve fireworks shows.
by: Derek Paivaposted: Mon Dec 30, 2013 at 02:27 PM
So you say you're wrapping up 2013 here in Hawaii?
Big fans that we are of warm, tradewind-kissed New Year's Eves, we're solid fans of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming in the new right here in the Islands, too. But just because we're annually one of the final locales in the world to get to do both doesn't mean we prefer our New Year's Eves quiet.
A number of residents here follow a longtime New Year's Eve tradition of welcoming the new year with fireworks in their driveways and neighborhood streets. It's loud. It's smoky. It requires a permit. It's also a surprising and visually stunning sight for visitors checking out our 'burbs.
But if you're fortunate enough to be welcoming 2014 in the Islands this year, we're thinking you might also want to know where some of our large public displays of pyro (i.e. New Year's Eve aerial fireworks displays) are happening. Gosh knows, we do.
Below you'll find our list of Hawaii spots to catch the sky ablaze with New Year's Eve fireworks displays. We've got all the lowdown you need to know about public fireworks shows on Oahu, the Big Island of Hawaii, Maui, Kauai and even Lanai.
Hauoli Makahiki Hou!—that's Happy New Year!—and best wishes for 2014 from the staff ohana of HAWAII Magazine and HawaiiMagazine.com!
Waikiki New Year's Fireworks
The details: Visible from the entire Waikiki beachfront, this annual fireworks show—sponsored by Waikiki hotels and businesses and the Waikiki Improvement Association—even has a fireworks countdown before the main event.
Click here for more information
New Year's Eve Party of the Year
9 p.m., 10 p.m., 11 p.m., Midnight
The details: Fireworks every hour at Kakaako Waterfront Park in Honolulu, starting at 9 p.m., with a grand finale display at midnight. Festivities get under way at 6 p.m. Among other highlights: bands and DJs on multiple stages, an "Eat the Street" food truck festival and carnival rides, including a Ferris Wheel. Tickets are required to get in to the event. But aerial fireworks being, of course, aerial and all, you'll be able to see the displays anywhere near Kakaako Waterfront Park.

• Ko Olina New Year's Lagoon Fireworks Spectacular
The details: Annually the largest NYE fireworks show in Hawaii, the display here is typically launched over the West Oahu resort's four lagoons, which are open to the public. Area resorts, however, do charge for parking.
Note: The annual New Year's Eve Aloha Tower Fireworks show and block party was cancelled by Aloha Tower Marketplace owners Hawaii Pacific University this year.
Aloha 2013 New Year's Eve Pacific Rim Celebration
The details: Hosted by the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, the aerial display here will light up the resort's Kaunaoa Bay beachfront. The fireworks are part of the hotel's big New Year's Eve dinner and dancing celebration, a ticketed event open to hotel guests and anyone wishing to pay to be in attendance. Party guests are sure to have the best views, but with Kauanaoa Beach—and all Hawaii beaches—open to the public, if you can reach the beach you'll catch the fireworks.

Momentum is growing among military families to create charter schools in areas of the country with low performing schools. Rather than rejecting the current school system, military parents argue that it offers another choice, one with a consistent educational philosophy they can count on and understand no matter where they're assigned.
In light of this growing discussion, it is important for military families to understand what charter schools are and how they operate. Charter schools are elementary or secondary schools created by communities through an agreement with a local school district. They receive public money and are run by locally elected school boards. They have the authority to set up their own management practices, and design their curriculum and programs.
While charter schools provide an alternative to other public schools, they are part of the public education system and are not allowed to charge tuition. When space at a charter school is limited, admission is frequently allocated by lottery-based admissions. Some charter schools offer a curriculum that specializes in a certain field of study, while others attempt to provide a higher standard of general education than nearby public schools.
Some charter schools are founded by teachers, parents, or activists who feel restricted by traditional public schools. State-run charter schools, not affiliated with local school districts, are often established by non-profit groups, universities, or government entities. Some school districts even permit corporations to open chains of for-profit charter schools.

[96] Intra-Tumoral Heterogeneity for HER2 Gene Amplification Is Common Using the CAP Recommended Criteria and Does Not Correlate with High Protein Expression: Time for a New Look at How To Report Heterogeneity.
Kimberly H Allison, Suzanne M Dintzis, Rodney A Schmidt. University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle
Background: The College of American Pathologists (CAP) recently published recommendations for reporting intra-tumoral heterogeneity for HER2 gene amplification in breast cancers. These guidelines recommend reporting cases with between 5-50% of cells with HER2:CEP17 ratios > 2.2 as "heterogeneous for HER2 gene amplification." We examined the implications of applying these recommendations to clinical practice and reviewed the HER2 protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the cases with FISH heterogenous results to determine if these criteria are likely to identify additional cases with protein over-expression.
Design: We collected HER2 and CEP17 counts in 32,116 tumor cells from 1329 consecutive breast cancer cases analyzed by FISH at UWMC. Data from Excel counting sheets were imported to a SQL Server database for analysis and statistics. Cases were categorized as CAP heterogenous if between 5-50% of cells counted had HER2:CEP17 ratios > 2.2. These results were then compared with the original FISH CAP/ASCO ratio criteria. Concurrent HER2 IHC results for CAP heterogeneous cases were also pulled from the database for review.
Results: 313 of 1,329 cases (23%) met the proposed CAP criteria for heterogeneous HER2 gene amplification by HER2:CEP17 ratio. Of these cases, 80% were considered non-amplified by the traditional criteria. The below table shows the classification of all cases by both criteria. Of the 284 heterogeneous cases available for IHC review, only 1% were positive for protein over-expression by IHC and the majority were either IHC equivocal (51%) or IHC negative (48%) for HER2 protein over-expression.
Original Classification by Ratio | Classification by CAP Heterogeneity Recommendation | ||
Amplified (>50% cells > 2.2) | Heterogeneous (5-50% > 2.2) | Not Amplified (<5% > 2.2) | |
Amplified | 178 | 12 | 0 |
Equivocal | 2 | 49 | 2 |
Not Amplified | 0 | 252 | 834 |

More reviews by rachaelvictorious
Oh M.A.C!
I love you I really do. You give me options with and without shimmer, your "Red" shade is my personal holy grail. You are somewhat reasonably priced, and your products are consistently pigmented enough for me to trust you on and off camera.
Here's the rub. You consistently break out my clients. Lipstick and liners are the worst. At first I thought it was me, not you. Had I somehow gotten sloppy with my hygiene? Not a chance. Old products? Nope.
My Ben Nye, Mehron, and Kryolan don't break clients out. MUFE doesn't break my clients out. Cinema Secrets has never so much as given me a single blackhead, no matter how many times I came home from the club and passed out in it.
I took you home! I let my parents meet you! I sometimes think you like my friends better than you like me. I thought we had a future together, M.A.C!
How could you betray me like this?
I'd been on the hunt for a while and tried all of the HG red's that people swear by, Russian Red, Ruby Woo, etc. Unfortunately, I found them too matte or too orangey, making me look like a clown. Finally, I decided to try MAC Viva Glam I. I liked it, but it still wasn't giving me that pop of bright red that I was craving. After viewing a blog post where the girl who was featured had just the color I was searching for, I decided to try MAC M.A.C. Red. It is fabulous! Definitely not for the faint of heart, but certainly makes a statement.

I just B2M'd for this and I'm in love with it. Perfect blue-based red. Lovely texture, doesn't feel at all drying on my lips, and is fairly long lasting. I'd recommend everyone to use MAC's Cherry lipliner with it, it matches perfectly.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Me: NC15, blue eyes, brown hair
I'm not a big fan of most blue-based reds, as I find they tend to look very 1990's, and slightly less bold and poppy than coral-based ones. However, MAC Red seems to be one of the exceptions to this rule. On the recommendation of a MAC makeup artist, I purchased this red. It is an absolutely perfect, bold, bright color. Wear a lip liner underneath (I use MAC's Redd), shading in all of your lip just in case this wears off. That being said, I find this red to be quite long wearing. Though it does smudge easily (make sure to keep concealer in your bag in case you need any touch ups), the pigmentation isn't lost with wear. I find that, even after rubbing my lips for a minute with a sopping wet washcloth, a very small bit of the red pigment remains on my lips. This lipstick made it through drinks, kisses, and three hours in a mosh pit without losing its general pigment.
Unfortunately, the lipstick is slightly drying, especially when used in conjunction with a lip shaded in with lip liner. Its smudge-factor is irritating, making a lip brush and concealer two necessary accessories for application. It also rubs off quite easily, and due to its pigmented nature, is not that easy to remove from unwanted areas of the face.
Bottom line: Brilliant colour and longevity, in a shade that is especially stunning on very dark and very light skin tones. Be careful when applying the lipstick, and ensure your lips are very well moisturized beforehand and afterwards.
This is a gorgeous blue-toned red satin lipstick. I'm an NC 30 with MAC and this looks amazing on me. I love using MAC's Cherry lip liner with it to make it last longer.
Traded for Ruby woo which is more of a matt, I liked MAC RED but it was too glossy nad messy.
I just bought this a few weeks ago and agin I LOVE IT! I have big lips and fair skin so it looks great on me! i was never one to wear bright colors but I tried this on and I fell inlove. this is defintly a lipstick you can wear day or night.

when I bought this I wasn't really sure about it. It has a satin finish and bluish undertones making it perfect for tanned skin (when I bought it) however when I removed the tanning bronzer and tried it again at home it really didn't go well with my pale NW15 face. even more so when I compared it to my other reds from MAC and make up forever that had a matte finish.
needless to say I thought I just wasted good money on something I'd never use... UNTIL a friend got me some black lipstick as a gift. now by doing black on the outer corners and MAC redd on the middle I turn heads no matter where I go!
I also noticed it gives my orange (yes I have orange lipsticks!) a sexy touch when applied over them. it's turned into my fav. multitasking lippy! would totally re-purchase this one!
So I walked into house of fraser with no intention of buyin makeup but I somehow magically found myself at the mac counter *hides face* I'm tryin on diff lipsticks and the mA suggested I tried this one on. I appled it, she put some powder on my face and 2 ladies looking around saw my face and bought it. That's how fabulous this lipstick looks on me. I wasn't even wearing any makeup except for the powder the MA applied and it still looked great on my skin. I love the finish (I'm a huge fan of the satin formula). It's quite dryin though but it didn't fade or settle into my lip lines. It's quite expensive at £13.50 but would definitely repurchase. I'm nc45 for ref

I am in love with this red! MAC Red has blueish undertones which work perfectly with my skin, seeing as I have golden ones. It has a beautiful matte finish that leaves you looking very "old Hollywood". This does NOT have an orangy undertone and is NOT AT ALL sheer. You do not have to at all add more then you usually do.
This leaves such a classy, elegant look, right when I tried it on, my friend next to me was in awe. I wear it with MAC cherry lip liner, it seems to be the best fit. If you're looking into buying this, definitely go try it on and consult with the s/a. If you like/love it like i did, buy it, if you're iffy than don't. Trust me, when you find the right red, you'll know it.

I have been looking for a lipstick that was the perfect shade of red and I found it! When you think of a great red lipstick you would never think of this color. It is a different take on the classic red lip color but still beautiful and classy. MAC's MAC red lipstick has a pinkish red color to it that goes great with my skin tone.This lipstick goes on smoothly and it is very moisturizing. It is creamy and has a little bit of shine to it and it does not run. You can defenitely wear this color in the daytime and at night. I love it!

I played on a PVP server for the next two years, and played on PVE and PVP servers ever since, but I still remember that first time I flagged for PVP so clearly to this day.

How to make money playing the glyph market {WoW}
Nov 14th 2011 7:06PM Abbadon,
Had a similar competitor on my server. Guy was getting herbs cheap somewhere and selling glyphs at a couple of copper over cost. I know he was still making gold, but no one else could afford to match/undercut his prices.
Then he stopped playing for a few months, and the glyph markets rebounded. Suddenly, there were several people listing, but everyone was making gold, so everyone was happy. Glyphs didn't cost too much (though of course, buyers complained because they were paying more than 10g for a glyph) either.
Recently, he started playing again. I saw him online a couple times, but he never seemed to be listing anything, so I began thinking maybe he'd gotten out of the market - until one morning when I saw that familiar block of cut-rate glyphs.
Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. :)

Degree benefits
- The School of Pharmacy is one of the most highly rated pharmacy schools in the UK, with a long tradition of academic and research excellence.
- The programme includes contact with patients from the start through hospital visits and patient interviews. It also gives you the chance to study abroad during the fourth year.
- The School of Pharmacy has a dedicated pre-registration co-ordinator, and an excellent graduate employment rate.
The Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) is accredited by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). An MPharm from an accredited UK school of pharmacy is the first step towards a career as a pharmacist. On completion of your MPharm you will be required to undertake pre-registration training before qualifying as a registered pharmacist.
The programme gives graduates an integrated and interdisciplinary view of the science of medicines and links this to the practice of the pharmacy profession. It includes contact with patients throughout, with students taking part in hospital visits, hospital and community pharmacy placements, and in-house patient interviews.
In the fourth year students undertake a research project in an area of pharmacy or pharmaceutical science. This project may be carried out in the school, in another university, hospital or industry, either in the UK or worldwide.
Your learning
You will be exposed to many different styles of teaching and learning. The programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, practical classes, tutorials, problem-solving classes, clinical seminars and workshops, clinical placements, skills workshops with patients, journal clubs, independent learning, and visits to hospital and community pharmacies and industry.
Your performance is assessed by both coursework and written examinations. Examinations are held at the end of each year, in the summer. Marks from all years of the programme, except the first year, count towards the final honours classification. Coursework contributes about 40% and examinations about 60% to your final mark.
Degree structure
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual courses, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Courses are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional courses varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
Year One
Year Two
Year Three
Final Year
Further details on department website: Pharmacy MPharm
Once you have graduated, you will spend a year in training after which you will need to take an examination to qualify as a professional pharmacist. As a pharmacy professional you will be a frontline health care provider and can have a direct impact on people's lives and health.
Six out of every ten pharmacists work in community pharmacies in the high street or supermarkets. Another popular branch of the profession is hospital pharmacy, working closely with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. After one or two years, a hospital pharmacist can choose to specialise in areas such as cancer, paediatrics, HIV, surgical or education and training.
There are also career routes into industry and academia. Industrial pharmacists work in research and development, production, quality control, clinical trials, product registration and medical information. Those choosing to stay in the academic world undertake teaching and research.
First destinations of recent graduates (2010-2012) of this programme include:
- Pre-registration Pharmacist, Moorfields Eye Hospital (2012)
- Pre-registration Pharmacist, GlaxoSmithKline (2012)
- Pre-registration Pharmacist, Boots (2011)
- Pre-registration Pharmacist, Great Ormond Street Hospital (2011)
- Pre-registration Pharmacist, Tesco (2011)

Good afternoon, fellow growers, outdoorsmen, and enthusiasts!
As many of you know from my past postings, Ferns, Mosses, Lichens, and Fungi have a special place in my heart! I frequently hike the trails and waterways that wend along the Bear River, although I don't always have a camera with me, as it makes for an inconvenient jog. However, when the rain stopped yesterday afternoon, I called a friend to join me at the Bear River campgrounds, and I threw the camera in the car. It was perfect weather - 45°F and dripping. Here are a few pics that I hope you'll enjoy. |

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Willow!
Facts about Willow
- Breed: Schnauzer (Miniature)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Willow's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Willow is 18 lbs of energy and fun. This little girl never met a stranger and will jump right into your arms.
She loves everyone and everything. She also does NOT know any commands. Willow is a free spirited "wild child" that will need a very active home ( possible kids to play with) and also someone with alot of patients.
Willow will, with a little training of course, become the perfect family dog!
Willow's Adoption Fee is $82, which includes: Microchip, Vaccines ( Distemper & Rabies), Heartwormtest and deworming. If you're interested please call (785)239-6183! If no one answers then please leave a message! You can also contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Act quickly to adopt Willow. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Fort Riley Stray Facility
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Willow, a Fort Riley Schnauzer (Miniature)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Schnauzer (Miniature)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Fort Riley, or seeking a Schnauzer (Miniature)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Fort Riley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fort Riley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fort Riley breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Schnauzer (Miniature)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Schnauzer (Miniature)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fort Riley paves the way for another one to be saved.

I just received a dried feathery clematis glaucophyla 'fan'. I am not sure where the seeds are located. I believe the person who sent it said the seeds were at the tip of the 'feathers' and that they were about half the size of a pin head but there is nothing at the tip of the feathers. Can someone enlighten me as to where the seeds of this clematis are located.
Thanks in advance. Penny |
Follow-Up Postings:
The seeds are dark in color grouped together at the base. They vary some in size. If the seedhead is dry, you should be able to gently pull out the seed with the feathery tail in one piece. But if you can't find the seed, as they say, do not proceed. It may be infertile. |

Most manufacturers' inspection programs anticipated aircraft to fly many more hours per year than they currently fly. Invasive inspections introduce risk to your aircraft. Some inspection intervals need to be modified based on the usage of your aircraft. Our low utilization inspection programs decrease operating costs and get you back in the air without compromising safety. |
What We Do
We develop airframe specific, Low-Utilization Inspection programs for various business class jets that are not meeting the manufacturer suggested annual flight time. By reducing the amount of wear and tear from inspections, our FAA approved maintenance programs drastically increase the life of a low-use airframe. View our supported airframes here. |

In "Faithful Journeys," a Tapestry of Faith program
Surely they hitched their wagon to a star – and though it fell to Earth, it left a pathway so bright that it still points the way to perfection. – Susan Thwang, on the Hopedale Community co-founded by Adin Ballou
In this session, participants explore the sixth Unitarian Universalist Principle, the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all. They hear about Adin Ballou, a Universalist Christian pacifist who helped establish the Hopedale Community, where members worked to create a new way of living based on the teachings of Jesus. Participants create peace pinwheels that represent their hopes for peace in our world. We add the signpost "Make Peace" to the Faithful Journeys Path.

Public Health News Roundup: September 30
New NIH Study to Look at House-to-House HIV Testing, Other Measures, to Reduce HIV Burden in Africa
A study in South Africa and Zambia is assessing whether house-to-house voluntary HIV testing and prompt treatment of HIV infection, along with other proven HIV prevention measures, can substantially reduce the number of new HIV infections across communities. The trial is funded primarily by the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), administered by the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator. "Through this new study, we aim to learn whether the treatment of HIV-infected individuals as a form of HIV prevention, an approach previously tested in roughly 1,800 heterosexual couples where one partner was infected, will be just as effective when implemented across an entire adult population," said NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, MD. "The study also will tell us whether this method of delivering population-wide HIV treatment as prevention is feasible and cost-effective." The trial is being conducted in South Africa and Zambia because the HIV prevalence in those countries is among the highest in the world. An estimated 12.5 percent of adults in Zambia and 17.3 percent of adults in South Africa are infected. The study team will measure the impact of the two HIV prevention packages by determining the number of new HIV infections among a representative sample of 52,500 adults drawn from the 21 study communities and followed for three years. The study is expected to end in 2019. Read more on AIDS.
Study: Better Awareness Likely Reason for Increase in ER Visits for Youth Concussions
Improved awareness of the signs and symptoms of traumatic brain injuries (TMI)—such as concussions—is likely the cause of a noticeable increase in TMI-related emergency department visits by children, according to a new study from doctors at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The study appeared in the journal pediatrics. Visits for these types of injuries climbed about 92 percent from 2002 to 2011, while the overall severity of the injuries decreased and the hospitalization rate remained at around 10 percent. "We are doing a better job at educating ourselves and educating the public about concussion," said Dr. Holly Hanson, lead study author and an emergency medicine fellow. "People and doctors are recognizing sports-related concussions more. People are recognizing the signs and symptoms. People are more aware of the complications. So people are coming in more." According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevent, each year TMI accounts for about 630,000 emergency department visits, 67,000 hospitalizations and 6,100 deaths in children and teens annually.

HHS Developing New Burn Treatments to Improve Disaster Response, Daily Care
Through its Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HUD) is working to develop five new types of burn treatments for disaster response and daily emergency medical care. The thermal burn medical countermeasures—which could take the form of drugs, vaccines or medical products—will be for chemical, radiological or nuclear incidents. Developing new measures is critical, because with only 127 burn centers in the country, a mass casualty event could quickly overwhelm the public health response. "Sustainability of these medical countermeasures for thermal burns is critical for their availability when they are needed most," said BARDA Director Robin Robinson, PhD. "Our repurposing and multi-purpose strategy facilitates development, ensures availability, and reduces overall costs for thermal burn medical countermeasures." Read more on disasters.

If you draw a Treachery card during:
- Setup of Scenario 2, where you add some cards to the staging area
- Setup of Scenario 3, when you are adding an encounter to each objective
What happens?
So far we've been playing as if the Treachery was ignored and another card is drawn in its place (so Scenario 2 *always* has the right number of cards in the staging area at the start, and each objective *always* has an encounter on it) but I'm not really sure. Does it say somewhere in the rules that I've missed?

Updated: A new study by research firm IHS Herold illustrates why there are fears of a supply crunch: oil is getting much more expensive to find, but investment in finding new oil is falling this year.
Exploration spending by listed oil companies rose 21 per cent and development spending 23 per cent in 2008 – but total reserves fell 3 per cent, according to the study. Much of this was due to some existing reserves becoming uneconomic: there was a a 5.2 billion barrel decline in revisions "due to the steep drop in commodity prices". It's not the first time total reserves have fallen, but it makes us wonder what this year, when capital investment is set to fall further, will bring.
Meanwhile the average cost of replacing a barrel of oil equivalent rose 70 per cent to $23.44 in 2008. Here's how finding and development costs weigh up against reserve replacement:
The study culled data from the filings of 232 companies with the SEC "and other similar agencies worldwide", so some of the really big national oil companies such as Saudi Aramco aren't in there. Petrobras and Pemex are represented, however, along with the big Russian and Chinese companies.
One significant finding of the study: in the US, replacement costs more than doubled.
On the bright side, it notes that some of the pre-salt reserves in South America are yet to be booked.
So what does IHS Herold believe the future holds for the supply/demand balance? Well, it could become very tight indeed – although not be as bad as today's prices might suggest:
Over the last three years, investment of more than $750 billion in development capital has resulted in no change in crude oil reserves and production. Recent deepwater discoveries provide hope that future results may be better, but meaningful output from those new projects will be more than five years into the future. Aside from OPEC curtailments, the world has virtually no excess capacity to meet demand growth that could result from synchronous economic expansions. Crude markets could tighten appreciably in a few years time, but current prices seem to be prematurely high.
Here are the bullet points from the IHS Herold press release:
Overall Findings
The 2009 Global Upstream Performance Review, IHS Herold's 42st annual study of 232 oil and gas companies based on publicly available data filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other similar agencies worldwide, measured industry performance in a number of key areas:
• Prices & Revenues – Worldwide revenues increased by $293 billion, implying an average realized price of $61.91 per barrel, a 30 percent increase from 2007.
• Cash Flow & Capital Spending – Cash flow per boe increased 35 percent to $29.66 per barrel. For the second consecutive year, cash flow exceeded investment.
• Exploration & Development – Development spending increased 23 percent, accounting for 63 percent of total investment, about the same 2007. Exploration spending increased 21 percent and has doubled since 2005 total.
• Mergers & Acquisitions – Proved acquisition spending dropped 30 percent to $44 billion as the M&A collapsed in the last five months of 2008, particularly in North America. Competition for unconventional resources was up sharply, led by the US region, with global spending for unproved acquisitions more than doubling to $62 billion.
• Production & Reserves – Oil reserves declined nearly 3 percent, primarily due to a 5.2 billion barrel decline in revisions due to the steep drop in commodity prices. Natural gas reserves grew at the 3 percent rate of the past five years, but production accelerated nearly 5 percent to 44.2 Tcf.
• Reserve Replacement – Reserve replacement and finding and development costs surge 70 percent and 66 percent to $23.44/boe and $25.50/boe, respectively, due to a sharp drop-off in positive reserve revisions. Reserve additions, both from all sources and via the drill-bit, were down over 20 percent.
• Profits – Net income per boe was rose 24 percent to $16.07/boe, but margins were lower for the fourth consecutive year.
Gregor makes an excellent point in the comments below about an aspect of the report we failed to highlight initially: reserve revisions are in part due to "economic factors" (along with new information from development and production itself). The report actually says such revisions affected the US and Russian and Caspian regions most sharply. However some reserves were added in the Middle East and Africa because of production-sharing agreements that actually increase reserves when oil and gas prices fall. We're not sure why that would be – perhaps it takes into account those falling prices charged by oil service companies – but it obviously wasn't enough to offset the downward revisions in the US and Russia.
Another point worth noting: the industry saw record revenues last year (although profitability declined slightly). But despite capital investment increasing last year, the proportion of cashflow invested back into reserve replacement remained static.
Herold says:
Although the industry had record cash generation, it plowed back fully 75% of the funds into finding and development projects. The reinvestment ratio is nearly unchanged over the last few years, despite rapidly rising prices, while reserve and production growth rates have remained disturbingly low.

CEO Admits He Created Fake Identities To Get Press Coverage
Meet Jamie Anderson. He's an Internet marketer in Edinburgh, Scotland, who claims his ingenious "reverse graffiti" campaign helped him earn press coverage and new clients for his SEO company. But in reality, his campaign was completely unremarkable — he only got the media attention by lying to the press.
Back in November 2013, Mr. Anderson used reverse graffiti to advertise his SEO company, RNR SEO. In case you're not familiar with the "old media" advertising technique, "reverse graffiti" is the act of creating words and images on grimy surfaces by strategically washing away sections of dirt — like if you used your finger to write "BETABEAT WUZ HERE" on a dusty car window.
